Iowa Republican Senator Joni Ernst, of Red Oak, made a stop in Atlantic this (Tuesday) morning, as part of her 99-county tour of the state. Ernst toured Mahle Engine Components, USA, Inc.

In Atlantic, Ernst was asked about ongoing murders and threat posed by ISIS, and what the U-S’ role should be in the fight. She said she would like to see other foreign countries such as Egypt, Jordan and Turkey step-up to the plate and engage more of their ground forces against the terrorist organization.
Ernst expressed her concerns about the continued deadlock in the Republican-controlled Senate over the funding for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. She claimed Senate Democrats refuse to cooperate in getting the bill through Congress. She was also asked about the FCC taking control of the internet. Ernst said the government should not be the sole source of control over what is seen and heard on the ‘net.
Ernst said “It seems that whenever the federal government gets involved with something it just seems to go much worse, so I would much rather see that the internet and private industry is taking care of its own business. We don’t want to restrict ingenuity, we don’t want to see the federal government trying to run the internet.”
When asked about comparisons between herself and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Ernst said she sees herself as an “Independent thinker,” and will do what’s right for the State of Iowa.” Ernst says she has no other political aspirations than to serve Iowans.
Her visit in Atlantic was the first stop of the day. Ernst’s other stops include Quality Machine in Audubon, and the Guthrie County Hospital. She also was scheduled to attend a meeting of the Greene County Development Corporation, in Jefferson. Her tour continues Wednesday, in Carroll and Thursday, in Denison.
A Nebraska man who allegedly stole a pickup truck Tuesday morning in Pottawattamie County, ended-up being transported to the hospital after the vehicle crashed, trapping him inside. The Pott. County Sheriff’s Office says 31-year old Rudolph Lucero, of Omaha, who was wearing a seat belt, was transported by Treynor Fire and Rescue to the University of Nebraska Medical Center, where he was reported to be in a medically-induced coma, Tuesday.
The incident began at around 8-a.m., when Pott. County Communications advised deputies an orange, 2005 Dodge Ram pickup had just been stolen from the vicinity of south 13th Street, in Council Bluffs. A deputy saw a vehicle matching the description, and tried to make a traffic stop. Lucero failed to yield and instead drove to Interstate 80 eastbound and then onto Highway 6, where he exited and continued eastbound, in an attempt to elude law enforcement.
Lucero managed to evade stop-sticks as well, but lost control of the vehicle near Highway 6 and 300th Street. The pickup swerved and turned onto its side, skidding until it hit a rise in the road at 300th Street. The vehicle continued to skid until it ramped up over the street into an open field, where it came to rest.
Charges are pending in connection with the incident, but authorities say they will likely include 1st degree theft.

The CAM School District’s Board of Education met Monday night in Anita, during a regularly scheduled session. CAM Superintendent Dr. Casey Berlau told KJAN News during the meeting, the Board discussed an e-mail from the Adair-Casey School Board, with regard to Whole Grade Sharing and other matters. He says they went through each question and determined the Board’s response to each question. Their answers and/or position on the matters will be returned to Adair-Casey’s Board.
The Adair-Casey Board sent e-mails to neighboring districts to discuss Whole Grade Sharing and other matters. They’re scheduled to meet Wednesday evening to review the responses. Dr. Berlau said also, the CAM School Board set March the 10th as the date for a public hearing on an early start date for the 2015-16 School year. Berlau said they set the date as a “Just in case” measure, because the issue is still being debated in the Iowa Legislature.
He said “Honestly, I don’t see, as I look at the requirements to get a waiver approved…I think it’s going to be pretty difficult to do.” He said We may not even follow through (on the matter) following the hearing [with] so much uncertainty right now around that topic, we just thought we’ll do one ‘just in case.”
Berlau said the CAM Board increased the Driver’s Education fees from $250 to $300 for CAM students. Students from outside the district who wish to receive Driver’s Ed through CAM will have to pay $450. Dr. Berlau said also, that prior to the regular board meeting, the CAM Board held a Goal Setting session, which he says was time well spent, because it’s a good time for the Board to set the direction of the district, and, Berlau says it was beneficial to him, because he’s been with the district for less than a year as Superintendent.
