Following a decision Monday night not to renew the contract of Superintendent Jay Lutt, the Hamburg School Board will gather this evening to discuss their options for hiring a new superintendent. The Board had earlier also vote to stop sharing a superintendent with Farragut. The Omaha World-Herald says in the interim, Lutt will continue to be Farragut’s superintendent.
The Hamburg and Farragut school districts are in the third year of a four-year whole-grade sharing contract, which created the Nishnabotna school district. About 300 people attended Monday’s meeting. About a dozen addressed the board, including several members of the Farragut school board.
A special meeting is scheduled for this evening at 6:30 in the Hamburg Middle School, and the Hamburg Board will meet Feb. 17th in a joint session with Farragut’s board.
Jim Field speaks with Derry Hallmark with the Narcanon Arrowhead Agency about dealing with heroine addiction.

A Pottawattamie County man has reached a deal with prosecutors that could result in him being sentenced to 25-years in prison for the death of his wife. The Omaha World-Herald reports 55-year old Darwin Cox, of Council Bluffs, plead guilty Thursday in district court, to charges of voluntary manslaughter, intimidation with a dangerous weapon with intent, and going armed with intent. His case had been set to go to trial Feb. 18th.
Darwin Cox was initially charged with first-degree murder following an investigation into the Oct. 15, 2013 shooting of his wife, Millisa, as the woman ran out of their home at 3441 Avenue B. The shooting occurred after an argument that began the night before. Authorities said Darwin Cox fired a handgun from inside the home through a window, striking his wife. He attempted suicide shortly thereafter, shooting himself in the head, and spent time in the hospital before being transferred to the Pottawattamie County Jail.
The first two charges against him each carry a 10-year maximum sentence. The third charge carries a five-year sentence. The intimidation charge includes a weapons enhancement that requires Cox to serve at least five years of the sentence.The prison sentences will be served consecutively as part of the plea deal. As part of the plea agreement, Darwin Cox was ordered to pay $150,000 in restitution to the family.
