The Union County Sheriff’s Office says a Creston woman was arrested Thursday night on an OWI charge. 46-year old Catherine Ann Scadden was taken into custody for OWI/1st offense, at the Union County Law Enforcement Center. She was later released on $1000 bond.
Two people in a semi tractor trailer were transported by Medivac Ambulance to the Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic, after their rig caught fire this (Friday) on the Olive Street Exit from Interstate 80 eastbound (Exit 57/Cass County Road N-16). Atlantic Firefighter Gene Schmeling told KJAN News the driver of the semi had pulled-off the road to check on the trailer “Reefer” (the refrigeration unit), when he discovered flames. Atlantic Fire was notified of the incident at around 1:24-a.m. and was back in town by around 4:30.
The truck and its load of beef were a total loss. The cause of the fire was not immediately known, and no other details are currently available.

TEMPLETON, Iowa (AP) – Templeton Rye plans to distill whiskey at its bottling facility in west-central Iowa. The Des Moines Register reports that the company is adding distilling equipment and warehouses at its plant in Templeton, in Carroll County, a town of about 360 residents.
In 2015 the company settled lawsuits over labeling the whiskey as “small-batch rye” made in Iowa when it actually was a stock whiskey made by MGP Ingredients in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. It’s unclear whether the expansion project means all of the Templeton Rye will be distilled in Templeton.
On Friday (today), the Iowa Economic Development Authority approved the company’s request for around $1.6 million in tax credits and refunds to help the expansion project. The expansion is expected to create 27 jobs.

The Atlantic Trojans are preparing for their final game of the season tonight on the road at Harlan. The Trojans are trying to end the season on a positive note after struggling to a 1-7 record through a very tough Class 3A District 7. The Cyclones have the same idea in mind as they come into the game with a 3-5 overall record. Atlantic coach Mike McDermott said his players have kept up the intensity in preparation.
Coach McDermott said a key to playing against any Harlan team is to try to win the field position battle and getting key stops in order to do that. If the Trojans want to have success in slowing down the Cyclones offense they are going to have to be ready to slow down the passing game as Quarterback Deren Schmitz has thrown for 1,789 yards and 17 touchdowns on the season.
Harlan has played a lot of close games throughout the season and are coming off a big rally last week to pick up a win over Denison-Schleswig. Harlan Head Coach Curt Bladt hopes they can carry that second half performance over to this week.
Coach Bladt said his team has to be ready for anything from the Trojans but his team won’t change anything drastically for the match-up.
We’ll have coverage of the Trojans and Cyclones tonight on KJAN. Join Chris Parks and Mike Smith for the broadcast on AM1220, FM101.1, online at kjan.com, and on the KJAN mobile app. You can also catch live streaming video of the game on KJANTV. Tune in for our pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00pm, the Dvorak Tire and Service Pre-Game Show at 6:30pm, and Kickoff at 7:30pm.
