Authorities in Cass County located a missing woman Sunday, about three-hours after she was seen leaving Valley Oil, on foot. The Sheriff’s Office says the 19-year old walked away for reasons unknown at around 2:20-a.m., and headed east across Highway 71, into a wooded area.
The Cass County Communications Center reported at the time the woman seemed very confused when she spoke with a dispatcher, and was somewhat uncooperative. She remained on her cell phone until it was either shut off or the battery died. Until the call ended, the dispatcher triangulated the location of her phone, helping authorities narrow down their search.
When she was found, the woman transported to Cass County Memorial Hospital for a medical and mental evaluation. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Iowa State Patrol, the Atlantic Police Department, and Audubon County Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff would also like to extend special thanks to the Atlantic Firemen who volunteered to come out and assist with the search.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Gov. Terry Branstad is not saying whether he will sign off on the $7.3 billion spending plan approved by the Legislature last week. Branstad said Monday he needs to review all the budget bills backed by the Republican-led House and Democratic-controlled Senate. He declined to say how he will act on the compromise plan, which includes $7.17 billion in ongoing spending, as well as $135 million in one-time expenditures.
Branstad criticized lawmakers for failing to approve K-12 education funding for the 2016-2017 school year before they adjourned but did not say if he would try to call lawmakers back in a special session to resolve the issue. He also would not commit to a compromise plan struck to keep open two mental health institutions slated for closure.
Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey is encouraging Iowa students who were in kindergarten through 8th grade this past school year, to take part in a “Farmers Market Scavenger Hunt” at any of the 37 participating farmers markets across the state. The Iowa Farm to School program, which is part of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, is sponsoring the initiative.
Northey says “We are fortunate to have wonderful farmers markets all across the state and I hope students will take advantage of this opportunity to get out and learn more about all the fresh, delicious products that are available and support their local market.” To participate, students simply need to complete the “Farmers Market Scavenger Hunt” form. Forms may be picked up at any participating farmers market or can be printed from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov under the “Hot Topics” section.
When they have completed the form, they can submit it to the market manager at the main market booth for the farmers market. Upon submitting the form, students will receive a free item from the market, such as a fruit, vegetable or honey, and will be entered into a drawing for additional prizes. In addition, the classroom with the most participation over the summer will receive a grow light that can be used to help them grow their own fruits and vegetables.
In western Iowa, farmers markets participating in the program include those in Shelby County (Harlan), and the Missouri Valley Welcome Center. More information about the Iowa Farm to School program and other upcoming events can be found at: http://www.iowaagriculture.gov/AgDiversification/farmToSchoolProgram.asp.
A man who claims a Shenandoah Police Officer used excessive force during a Jan. 2014 traffic stop, is suing the officer, Shenandoah Police Department, and the City of Shenandoah. According to reports, an attorney for Shenandoah native Drew Bayless filed the civil suit Friday. The suit seeks to recover damages as a result of injuries Bayless allegedly suffered at the hands of Officer Derek Baier during a traffic stop on Jan. 1st, 2014.
In addition to claiming the Officer used excessive force, the lawsuit claims Baier allegedly committed civil assault/battery during the traffic stop. Bayless’ attorney said in the suit his client suffered significant physical injuries, as well as suffered extensive pain, suffering and mental distress.
The lawsuit asks the defendants to pay Baier’s medical and hospital expenses – past and future – along with loss of wages, loss of future earning capacity, physical and mental pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of full mind and body.
Shenandoah City Attorney Mahlon Sorensen and Police Chief Kris Gerbert were contacted by local reporters in Shenadoah over the weekend, but had no comment, as neither had a chance review the allegations included in the lawsuit.
The Annual Audubon Flight Breakfast was held Sunday morning at the Audubon Municipal Airport.

Officials with the Audubon Chamber report 41 planes flew-in for the event, and 685 people were served a breakfast consisting of ham and cheese omelets, pancakes, coffee, milk and juice. The breakfast was served from 6:30-until 10:30-a.m.
The aircraft and their pilots came from 20 Iowa communities, while others flew in from Bennington and Omaha, Nebraska.
The weather was perfect, with partly sunny skies and medium winds for flying. In addition to the pilots and their passengers, who ate for free, the event was attended by area bicycle clubs who rode in on the T-Bone Trail. The Flight Breakfast serves as a major fundraiser for the Audubon Chamber of Commerce, and is held the first Sunday in June.
