Two separate public hearings will be held in two weeks with regard to a proposed Whole Grade Sharing agreement between the AHST and Walnut Community School Districts. The first hearing takes place 6:30-p.m. Dec. 16th in Walnut, with the second meeting to be held Dec. 17th at 7-p.m., in Avoca. Persons unable to attend either of the public hearings may contact one of the school district’s secretaries and leave a comment with them to be presented during the hearing.

The AHST and Walnut Districts have been gathering input over the past month, and negotiating key portions of the agreement. School officials say if approved in late January, the 4-year sharing agreement would begin in the fall of 2014.

Police in Glenwood say a man was arrested earlier this week at the Glenwood Middle School, after they received a report of a person with a gun. Officers were called to the Glenwood Middle School at around 12:30 p.m., Monday. Following an investigation, 66-year-old Lyle Hillhouse, of Glenwood, was arrested for allegedly carrying a weapon on school grounds. Hillhouse was being held in the Mills County Jail on $5,000 bond.

The Glenwood P-D also reports two Omaha residents were arrested Tuesday, following an investigation into a call about a suspicious vehicle at the B-P Station on Sharp Street, in Glenwood.  When officers responded at around 10-a.m., 24-year-old Colton Garvin took off on foot, but was apprehended at the corner of Coolidge and Vine Street. He faces Possession of Stolen Property, unlawful Possession of Prescription Drugs and Interference with Official Acts charges. Another suspect, 32-year-old Niccole Rohde, was arrested at the scene and charged with Possession of Stolen Property. The pair was booked into the Mills County Jail.

The vehicle in question had been reported stolen out of Omaha.
