DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds issued an order to begin establishing a children’s mental health service system in the coming years. Reynolds signed an executive order Monday creating a state board, calling it a “first step.” The board will submit recommendations on how Iowa can better serve children in the state’s “inadequate” mental health system.

The board will be made up of mental health professionals, state agency representatives, lawmakers and others. Reynolds said it will build on efforts by previous groups. A similar process resulted in bipartisan legislation Reynolds signed last month to expand mental health systems for adults.

Reynolds said initial funding for the children’s system might be found within existing funds. She said “at some point” the effort would require additional money. The expanded adult services are expected to cost more than $31 million in the first two years.

WINTERSET, Iowa (AP) — Sentencing has been delayed for the third person involved in setting fire to a historic Madison County covered bridge featured on the cover of the novel “The Bridges of Madison County.”
Court records say 18-year-old Alexander Hoff now will be sentenced on May 18. He’d been set for sentencing Monday after pleading guilty to arson and criminal mischief for the fire last April.

Two other people involved already have been sentenced to five years of probation. They are Joel Davis and Alivia Bergmann. The bridge near Winterset also was featured in the 1995 movie adaptation of “The Bridges of Madison County.”

Cass County Emergency Management Coordinator Mike Kennon reminds area residents and motorists, that a bridge construction project on U.S. Highway 71 over Lone Tree Creek, 3.1 miles south of Atlantic and 0.1 miles south of Cass County Road G-35, required closing of the roadway to traffic from now until later this summer. The official detour will route traffic using Hwy 92, Hwy 148 and Hwy 83.
