Sheriff’s officials in Union County say no injuries were reported following a single vehicle accident Monday afternoon. Authorities say a 2004 Kenworth concrete mixing truck driven by 27-year old James Orville Irvin, of Corning, was traveling east on 110th Street at around 12:15-p.m., when the vehicle got too close to the side of the road. The truck entered the ditch and rolled onto its side. The vehicle sustained $15,000 damage. No citations were issued.

A quarrel between family members late Sunday night in Clarinda led to the arrest of two people. Clarinda Police Chief Keith Brothers says officers were dispatched to 312 North 20th Street at around 11:15-p.m.  The officers were sent to investigate a report that 38-year old  Jason William McCollum, who lives at the address, had been threatened with a handgun during a family quarrel.

Police subsequently arrested 23-year old Tera Dawn Lutz, of Clarinda, for going armed with intent, aggravated assault, and illegal carrying of a concealed weapon. The complaint alleges the woman displayed a handgun during a family quarrel. Brothers said his officers also arrested 56-year old Terry Lynn Layne, for aggravated assault.

An investigation determined Layne and McCollum reside at the residence and had been involved in an argument earlier in the day on Sunday, and that Layne had eventually left the residence. Layne and Lutz returned to the residence later in the day on Sunday to retrieve some personal property at which time Lutz allegedly displayed a handgun and pointed it at the male who resides at the residence.

McCollum was not injured during the incident and no shots were fired. A small caliber handgun that was believed to have been used by Lutz was recovered. Lutz and Layne were taken into custody without incident. They were booked into the Page County Jail and held on $5,000 bond, pending an appearance before the Page County Magistrate. The matter has been referred to the Page County Attorney’s office for review and the filing of formal charges.

A fairly upbeat job market is anticipated in Iowa over the final three months of the year, according to a new survey released today (Tuesday). Manpower spokesperson Karen Miller says only four-percent of the employers surveyed in Iowa expect to decrease staffing levels between October and December. “We’ve got 20-percent of the companies we interviewed planning to hire more employees and 75-percent expect to maintain their current staff levels,” Miller said.

Those results are good for a “Net Employment Outlook” of 16-percent for the fourth quarter of 2014. That’s down slightly from 18-percent in the third quarter survey, but it compares very favorably to Q-4 one year ago. “Last year, we had a Net Employment Outlook of 11-percent,” Miller said. Iowa’s job market is looking better the nationwide outlook.

Of the more than 18,000 employers surveyed in the U.S., Manpower found 19-percent expect to add to their workforces, while 7-percent expect a decline in their payrolls between October and December.
