COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Kids in wheelchairs from different states will get a chance to try 16 different sports at a special camp this week. The wheelchair sports and recreation camp will introduce attendees to a variety of different sport and activities. Students from Nebraska, Iowa and surrounding states will participate.
Participating in sports can help people in wheelchairs build strength and endurance. CHI Health is sponsoring the free camp, and therapists from its Immanuel Rehabilitation Institute will help campers. The camp will be held at the Iowa School for the Deaf in Council Bluffs from today (Monday) through Thursday.
Police in Council Bluffs are investigating the death of a man whose body was found floating in the Missouri River, Sunday evening. The Council Bluffs P-D’s 911 dispatch received a transfer call about the possibility of a body in the river, from the Omaha Police Department at around 5:25-p.m., Sunday.
The Council Bluffs Fire Department’s rescue boat was then dispatched to the area located one-quarter of a mile south of the Vets Memorial Highway. Crews were able to recover the body of a man from the river just after 5:45-p.m. The body was then transferred to the area of the Ameristar Casino parking area and turned over to the Criminal Investigation Division and Medical Examiner for further investigation.
The subject is a white male, approximately 35 to 40 years of age, with a tattoo on his right forearm. The male was dressed in a pair of blue jeans and black belt only. The man’s identification was pending the scheduling and completion of an autopsy. An investigation into the incident continues.

There are just two full days left for you to get out and enjoy the totally free, 2015 Cass County Fair, in Atlantic. Today’s activities include the 7:30-a.m. Swine Show at the Indoor Show Ring, and a Modified Poultry Show at 10-a.m.

Exhibitors at the Cass County Fair are getting around that, by bringing pictures of their birds and showing them, just as if they were there live. Participants will also have to explain to the judge how they raised the bird and provide other information, just as if the animal was there with them. In addition, a Quiz Bowl, with general poultry questions, and egg judging, will be featured.
The Commercial Exhibit Building will open as usual, at 10-a.m., the same time there’s an Antique Equipment Demonstration. Other activities today include:
• Decorator’s Showcase at the Cass County Community Center (Noon-to 4-pm)
• Clover Kids Animal Show in the Outdoor Show Ring, at Noon.
• Today’s Noon Special at the Foodstand is Windsor Chops.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke to more than 1400 in Oskaloosa Saturday afternoon. Trump greeted a crowd inside the 700-seat high school auditorium and his speech was broadcast into a building next door for the overflow crowd, with still more standing outside unable to get in to either venue.
He spoke for nearly an hour, touching on many of the topics he’s discussed in previous solo stops in Winterset and Des Moines in June. Trump did take on Republican rival Scott Walker, the current front-runner in Iowa polls, saying “He’s the only guy that’s ahead of me. I can’t believe I’m in second place…Folks, would you please put me in first place so I feel better?”
Trump told the audience he had appreciated Walker’s fight in surviving a recall election in Wisconsin, but Trump says a “stupid person” on Walker’s staff made a “horrible statement” about him — and then Trump blasted Walker’s management of Wisconsin. He said “They projected a $1 billion surplus and it turns out to be a deficit of $2.2 billion. The schools are a disaster and they’re fighting like crazy because there’s no money for the school…and he was totally in favor of Common Core. Did you know that?” The crowd cheered Trump’s negative critique of Walker.
Later Trump told reporters Walker hadn’t been that nice to him anyway, saying “One of his people hit me…and I said: ‘Hey, now the glvoes are off…The real truth is that Wisconsin’s it’s a mess right now. It’s a mess, from an economic standpoint.” Trump told reporters there is “no cap” on the amount of his personal fortune that he will spend running for president.
The Trump campaign handed out “Veterans for Trump” signs to the crowd and Brad Nagle, a native of Cherokee, Iowa, who is a former Navy Seal, spoke to the crowd before Trump arrived on stage. Nagle said “Donald Trump loves veterans unlike some others who think . crazies,” Nagle said, to applause. “Donald Trump is someone who talks the talk, but walks the walk. I like that.”
A man in the crowd gave a Marine “oorah” yell in response. Trump later told reporters his well-publicized dust-up with Arizona Senator John McCain over McCain’s “hero” status as a prisoner of war was “over with.”
