Police in Clarinda arrested two teens early this (Monday) morning, on burglary charges. Police Chief Keith Brothers reports that oat around 4:20-a.m. officers interrupted a burglary in progress at J Bruner’s Restaurant, located at 1100 E. Washington Street, in Clarinda. While conducting routine patrol officers observed a window that had been pried open on the west side of the restaurant and heard noises coming from inside the business. Officers investigated and apprehended two males inside the restaurant. 18-year old Kyle S. Adams, of Westboro, Missouri and a 17-year old male juvenile from Clarinda, were charged with burglary in the third degree, possession of burglary tools, trespass, theft in the fifth degree and criminal mischief in the fifth degree.
Adams was being held in the Page County Jail on $5,000 bond, while the 17-year old male was released to the custody of his parent, pending action by the Page County Juvenile Court.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – A new monthly survey suggests the economy remains strong in nine Midwest and Plains states and business will continue to improve in the months ahead. The overall index for the region declined to 55.6 in June from 56.2 in May, but any score above 50 suggests growth.
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss says business leaders expect slower growth in the next few months. Modest job growth is also expected as the hiring index dropped to 53.7 in June from May’s 59.3.
The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota. The survey of business leaders and supply managers uses a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests growth while a score below that suggests decline.
Police in Red Oak report the arrest on Sunday of a woman on Child Endangerment charges. Officials say officers responded to a call about an infant that was inside a car parked near a store, with its windows up and the engine shut-off.
