OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A planning committee is seeking public input about how to transform riverfront along the Missouri River between Omaha and Council Bluffs, Iowa. The Omaha World-Herald reports that about 200 people attended a Riverfront Revitalization Planning Committee meeting Monday to share what they’d like to see on a large strip of the riverfront. Focus areas include Gene Leahy Mall and Heartland of America Park in Council Bluffs.
Attendees placed stickers next to preferred concepts. Food and beverage kiosks as well as waterfront dining were among the most popular amenities. Co-chair Ken Stinson says the Downtown Riverfront Trust will fund the group’s more than $1 million study on the area.
The next public meeting is Oct. 26, and final design concepts will be shared in January.
The Red Oak Police Department reports the arrest Tuesday of a Red Oak man for Violation of a No Contact/Protective Order.

Officials in Mills County have released additional information with regard to the arrest Monday morning, of a woman by Glenwood Police with assistance from Mills County Sheriff’s Deputies. 34-year old Misty Dawn Frazier, of Glenwood, was arrested for Child Endangerment Resulting in Death, and Distributing a Drug to a Minor without a Prescription.
The Mills County Attorney’s Office says on October 19, 2016, the Mills County Communications Center received a 911 call at 502 N Walnut Street in Glenwood for an unconscious and unresponsive eight-year old female, Kathleen Tafta. Glenwood Rescue was dispatched to the scene along with officers of the Glenwood Police Department. Tafta, who is Frazier’s daughter, was transported to Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs where she was pronounced deceased.
Upon review of the preliminary autopsy report, the Mills County Attorney’s Office, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and the Glenwood Police Department opened an investigation into the death of the child. An autopsy showed that she had toxic levels of the antidepressant amitriptyline in her system.
According to court affidavits Tafta was also rushed to the hospital for a seizure on September 29, 2016. At that time Misty Frazier provided false information to medical personnel that her daughter had a prescription for Amitriptyline from another doctor. Doctors believed the seizure was related to the drug and told Frazier to reduce the dosage.
Frazier appeared in Iowa District Court Tuesday and Magistrate Lyle Mayberry set her bond at $35,000. Frazier’s preliminary hearing is set for Oct. 2.
