The Shelby County Trails Committee will be gathering to bike / walk / run at numerous venues throughout the county in 2016. They invite you to join them to show your support and desire for trails in Shelby County. In the process you’ll get some exercise, good company, the opportunity to sample some refreshments and to learn what needs to be done to make a trail system in the county a reality.
The first event takes place beginning 6-p.m. Thursday, May 26th, at Pauley’s Pub in Panama (IA), and will conclude at Norma Jean’s. The final destination is the Bent Rim Fermentation Project at the intersection of Main Street & Highway 191, in Panama.
Runners and Walkers will travel south along Highway 191. Each individual will decide when to turn around and return to Panama. Bikers will ride south on Highway 191 to Portsmouth. Those riders who want to experience hills will continue to Westphalia via Highway 44, Highway M16 and Highway F32. From Westphalia, riders will return to Panama via Highway F32. Riders who want to stick to the flat roads will return to Panama from Portsmouth on Highway 191.
For additional information, please contact Dean Kloewer (panamadean@panamatransfer.com) or Patrick Stessman (patrickstessman@yahoo.com).
The Trevor Frederickson Foundation has announced two, recent donations. The Foundation has presented a check for $1,000 to the Schuler Elementary School in Atlantic, for their computer program.
And, $500 was donated to the “Friends of Lake Anita,” for their annual fishing clinic held the first Saturday in June. The clinic, which has been held for several years, is a great way to kick off summer, enjoy the outdoors and spend time with family.
The checks were presented by Trevor’s mom and Fund spokesperson, Melanie Petty. The Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund was started to give back to the community Trevor loved. Trevor was 21-years old when he died during a 2009 house fire, in Council Bluffs.
Creston Police Thursday evening, arrested 21-year old Tyler White, of Creston. White was taken into custody just before 7-p.m. on a Simple Assault charge. He was later released from the Union County Jail on $300 bond.

(Updated 11:42-a.m. 5/6) from the Adams County S/O: “The individual who allegedly posed as a sheriff’s deputy yesterday has been identified and a thorough investigation is underway. The community is no longer in danger from this individual. That being said, please educate your children how to handle strangers approaching them. Proper training and preparation can help keep our children safe!”
Sheriff’s officials in Adams County are investigating a reported incident of officer impersonation that took place Thursday. Authorities say a middle-aged male described as being approximately 5’8″ tall, heavyset with short dark brown hair and going bald approached a group of juveniles between 4:00 and 4:15 PM near the high school in Corning.
The man identified himself as a sheriff’s deputy and informed the group he was looking for a fight in progress and he was taking them to jail. The individual was driving a late 90’s or early 2000’s Chevrolet or Ford pickup black and red with a silver stripe down both sides. He was wearing blue jeans and a red polo shirt with white stripes, and tan work boots.
The group of juveniles left the scene and the male drove off in an unknown direction. If you see a vehicle matching the description or have further information, please contact the sheriff’s office at 322-4444. In case of emergency, please call 911.
