Justices struggle with key issues in Iowa voting rights case

News

March 30th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa Supreme Court justices are struggling with legal questions in a case that asks them to restore voting rights for thousands of felons. During oral arguments Wednesday, justices seemed divided and puzzled over how to interpret an 1857 provision in the Iowa Constitution that disenfranchises those convicted of “infamous crimes.”

At stake is voting rights for 57,000 felons who’ve been disqualified from participating in Iowa elections or holding public office. The American Civil Liberties Union, NAACP and the elections commissioner of Iowa’s largest county asked the court to define infamous crimes as only those that are particularly serious and an “affront to democratic governance.” That definition would restore voting rights to most felons and potentially some inmates. But an attorney for the state argued all felonies should be considered infamous.

(Update 10-a.m.) Atlantic woman arrested after early morning chase

News

March 30th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

(In an update to our earlier reports) – A chase that began early this (Wednesday) morning in rural Cass County resulted in the arrest of a woman on drug and other charges. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says 28-year old Denise Jean Chamberlin, of Atlantic, faces a felony Eluding charge, along with an aggravated misdemeanor charge of OWI/2nd offense, and a serious misdemeanor charge of Driving While Revoked. She was also cited for numerous moving violations, including: speeding; Reckless driving; and, four counts of Failure to Obey a Stop Sign.

Chamberlin was arrested after a nearly 15 minute pursuit that began a little after 1-a.m.  Deputy Ben Bartholomew noticed a 2002 Mitsubishi took an abrupt turn onto a gravel road when he passed by the vehicle while on routine patrol. When Bartholomew turned around near 710th and Galveston Road and tried to question the driver, the SUV sped-off.

The chase wound its way across gravel, dirt and paved roads before coming to an end when Bartholomew performed a PIT maneuver just west of the intersection of White Pole Road and 690th Street, at around 1:20-a.m. The move caused the SUV to spin into the south ditch off White Pole Road.

Workforce Alignment Committee Taking Action

News

March 30th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce reports business leaders in the Atlantic Area are collaborating to strengthen jobs and job opportunities. The group has created the Cass County Workforce Alignment Committee. The goal of the committee is to strengthen relationships among employers in Cass County to help address workforce issues including: employee development, school-to-work programs, training, recruitment, retention, community development and housing opportunities.

Committee member Jay Edwards, MAHLE Engine Components USA, Inc., said “The days of putting an ad in the paper and waiting for people to line-up at your door are long gone, Cass County businesses of all types need to collaborate to come up with solutions and strategies that cannot be developed alone.” Edwards added “This is the kind of effort local business needs to improve our community’s future.”

The mission of the Cass County Workforce Alignment Committee is to attract, develop and retain a skilled workforce in Cass County. Three goals have been determined to help achieve this mission:

1. Community development to attract younger and culturally diverse populations to increase the size of the workforce.
2. Develop the skills of the current and future workforce to meet business needs.
3. Address community needs to retain workers and families. Officials say that’s the main focus of the committee.

Ouida Hargens, Executive Director, Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce, says “The goals are big but attainable. We aren’t expecting this to change overnight but it gives the committee and community a map to success.” To help reach the goal, objectives and actions steps have been determined and clearly defined by the committee. All of the information is included in the Cass County Workforce Alignment Plan. This plan is posted on www.atlanticiowa.com.

The Workforce Alignment Committee will meet again on April 28th, 2016 at Noon at the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce, 102 Chestnut Street. If you are interested in helping or have questions, please contact: Ouida Hargens at 712.243.3017 or ouida@atlanticiowa.com.
