Another possible child enticement case is under investigation in southwest Iowa’s Union County. Sheriff Rick Piel says the latest incident occurred yesterday (Monday) in the town of Lorimor. “There were a couple of kids (who) reported a white van…and as they walked by, the person supposedly asked if they would like to buy a puppy or see a puppy,” Piel said. The children refused and reported the matter to their parents who called police. A similar incident was reported in the nearby town of Afton last week.
In that case, Piel said a 10-year-old boy reported a man in white van stopped and asked the child to get in and help him look for a puppy. Piel said no one has been charged in the case, but deputies have a potential suspect. “We’ve located the van and we’ve talked to the driver, but he denies everything,” Piel said. Both cases remain under investigation.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Court of Appeals has reinstated the revocation of a man’s driver’s license after a lower court found the state Department of Motor Vehicles had wrongly revoked it. Joshua Stone, now of Crescent, Iowa, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in February 2011 and his license revoked for one year. Stone appealed, and a Sarpy County judge reversed the revocation, based on a department hearing officer’s sworn report saying there was enough evidence to revoke Stone’s license. But the report had been signed a day before the hearing, leading the judge to believe that the officer had decided the matter before hearing evidence in the case. The department appealed, and the Nebraska Appeals Court found Tuesday that the lower court did not have jurisdiction in the case.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Turnout is low as Iowa voters head to the polls in a primary election that includes three competitive congressional races in two districts altered by redistricting. In Iowa City and Council Bluffs, just a handful of voters turned up after the polls opened at 7 a.m. on Tuesday. The lunch crowd wasn’t much better. Iowa lost one of its five congressional seats in the 2010 census. The races in the 1st and 2nd Districts in eastern Iowa will narrow the GOP field and determine whether Democratic Rep. Dave Loebsack can seek a fourth term in office. Loebsack faces state Sen. Joe Seng, of Davenport, in the 2nd District race. In the 1st District, two Republicans are vying to face Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley in November. Polls close at 9 p.m.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A man who escaped from a residential work release center in Sioux City is back in custody. State prison officials say 40-year-old Cletus Armell was captured on Tuesday. He was taken to the Woodbury County jail. Details of his arrest weren’t immediately released. Armell failed to return to the facility on Sunday from a shopping pass. He was serving a 15-year sentence for armed robbery. He was transferred to the work release center in Sioux City in December.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former Butler and Iowa coach Todd Lickliter is returning to his Indianapolis roots. Marian University, an NAIA school located just a few miles from the Butler campus, has called a Wednesday afternoon news conference to announce that it has hired Lickliter, a person with knowledge of the hire told The Associated Press. The person requested anonymity because the announcement hasn’t happened. Lickliter enjoyed his greatest basketball success in Indy, leading Butler to the NCAA tournament’s regional semifinals in 2003 and 2007 and was chosen the 2006-07 national coach of the year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. He went 38-57 over the next three seasons at Iowa, a tenure that included health problems. He sat out 2010-11, then returned last season as an assistant at Miami (Ohio).
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Florida men’s track and field team has seemingly accomplished everything but a national outdoor title. The star-crossed Gators have finished in second place four times since 2004, and last season they wound up third after losing in the final race of the meet. But Florida has three straight indoor national titles to its credit and is once again among the favorites to win this year’s meet, which starts Wednesday at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa. Texas A&M’s men and women have won the last three national outdoor titles, but most expect that streak of pulling off double titles to end in 2012. The Aggie men appear to stack up equally with Florida State and Florida, which can’t afford to focus on their past inability to break through at the outdoor meet like they have indoors. Texas A&M’s women’s team is expected to finish behind Oregon, LSU and Kansas.
The City Council in Atlantic will hold the third and final readings of two ordinances during their meeting Wednesday evening. That includes an ordinance which would reduce the speed limit on East 22nd Street from Highway 71 to Olive Street, from 45- to 35-miles per hour, and, an ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances, by adding a chapter on Urban Deer Control.
The DNR and City officials have concluded there is currently an overpopulation of deer within the City limits of Atlantic which poses a threat to property and public safety. The ordinance would allow bow hunting of antlerless deer, with certain restrictions and conditions.
In other business, the Council will act on requests from: The Jaycees, to discharge fireworks on July 4th at the Atlantic Municipal Airport; The 1st United Methodist Church, to close Cedar Street between 2nd and 3rd Streets on August 16th from 5-7pm, for a community block party; and, from Dan March, on behalf of the Heritage House, to block the alley behind 811 Poplar Street from Noon until 8-pm Saturday, June 23rd, for the purpose of holding a fundraising dinner for its Good Samaritan Fund (to help residents who have outlived their financial resources).
The Council meeting begins at 5:30-p.m., in their Chambers at the Atlantic City Hall.
The Walnut City Council Wednesday will act on appointing a replacement City Council member, following the recent resignation in May, of Councilman Darren Tooley. They’ll also act on designating a Mayor Pro Tem, since Tooley served in that capacity, as well.
In other business, the Council will discuss: Capital Equipment Funding; A review of options for the Codification of the City’s Code of Ordinances; The AMVETS June Antique Show and Walk and possible action on the use of public streets and rights-of-way for the event; Camping Fees at the City Park; the Development of a Sand Volleyball Court and improvements to Fireman’s Park; The Law Enforcement Services contract with the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Department, and, other matters.
