OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — It’s time to spring forward again, as the country makes the switch to daylight-saving time. Like those in almost all other states, Nebraskans and Iowans will trade an hour of sleep starting Sunday morning for an extra hour of sunlight in the evening.
The government expanded daylight-saving time in 2007 in an effort to save energy. It now begins on the second Sunday in March and continues until the first Sunday in November. The official change occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday, local time, although people often set their clocks ahead one-hour before going to bed Saturday night. Daylight-saving time ends Nov. 2nd.
Three rock bands with a long history of hits have been chosen to perform at the 2014 Loessfest along the riverfront, in Council Bluffs. The May 25th event at the Tom Hanafan River’s Edge Park opens with a concert by Loverboy, The Guess Who and Three Dog Night. The concert will be free and open to the public.
Other events associated with the festival will run through June 8th. An estimated 30,000 people turned out to see the Beach Boys over Memorial Day weekend last year at the inaugural Loessfest. Several additional events will be announced between now and the start of the festivities.
The concert is sponsored by the Iowa West Foundation, American National Bank and ConAgra Foods.
Authorities in Pottawattamie County say two employees with the Underwood Community School District were arrested Friday on felony drug charges. The Daily NonPareil reports 34-year old’s Samantha and Heath Telleen, of Underwood, surrendered themselves to law enforcement after a warrant was issued for their arrests in connection with the alleged use of stolen prescription pads to obtain pain medication in Iowa and Nebraska.
Samantha is a Underwood Middle School worker, while her husband teaches Social Studies at the Underwood High School. The pair was charged with two counts of pharmacy prohibited acts, which are Class C felonies. If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison and a maximum $20,000 fine.
In total, the couple allegedly used prescriptions pads from Underwood Family Practice 14 times, according to a criminal complaint released Friday. Additional incidents occurred in Nebraska. Jacqueline Sullivan-Ogg, who works at the practice, told investigators Samantha Telleen was given the key to the building in June 2013 to check mail and faxes while Sullivan-Ogg and her husband were out of town.
According to the criminal complaint, Sullivan-Ogg identified the prescriptions as fraudulent because they were inconsistent with how she wrote them. Investigators spoke with pharmacy officials in Council Bluffs and found the couple had used their driver’s licenses as identification to receive the prescription drugs.
Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker said the couple was booked into jail and later released on their own recognizance. A court date is pending.
SAINT LOUIS, Mo. (AP) — Desmar Jackson had 23 points and 11 rebounds as sixth-seeded Southern Illinois squandered a 19-point second-half lead on Friday night, but held on to beat No. 3 seed Northern Iowa 63-58.
Anthony Beane added 16 points for SIU (14-18) which extended a 36-18 halftime lead to 43-24 early in the second half and was still leading 52-41 on Davante Drinkard’s jumper with 6:18 left. UNI (16-15) rattled off 11 straight points over the next three minutes to tie the game at 52.
But the Panthers never took the lead as Southern Illinois scored five straight to take the lead for good and UNI missed all five of its 3-point attempts in the final two minutes. Seth Tuttle had 15 points, 17 rebounds and four blocked shots for UNI. The victory advances the Salukis to the Missouri Valley Conference semifinals where they will face No. 2 seed Indiana State on Saturday (3/8).
