The Atlantic Trojans (2-5) football team has suffered setbacks to back-to-back top ten ranked teams, but the Trojans are ready to finish the season strong. Two more contests remain for Atlantic and then next challenge will be the Shenandoah Mustangs (2-5) this Friday night at the Trojan Bowl.
The Trojans fell in their Homecoming contest to Greene County 26-0 last week. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said despite the loss he was impressed with the way the defense finished that game.
The Mustangs feature a veteran quarterback that can run and throw the ball effectively in Kyle Cerven. Coach McDermott said containing the run threat from the quarterback spot will be a key in the game. When the Trojans have the ball Coach McDermott said they need to execute better and make the big plays that they have missed out on the past couple of games.
The Trojans and the Mustangs will kickoff at 7:00pm on Friday night at the Trojan Bowl. You can hear the a full interview with Coach McDermott on “Trojan Preview” at 4:45pm Friday on KJAN.
A reminder that all former Trojan football players are encouraged to come to the game this week to support the team and commemorate the final game at the Trojan Bowl before renovations are made after the season. It also is another part of the season long celebration of the 125th year of Trojan football.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Court of Appeals has set a date for arguments in a lawsuit that challenges a law giving the governor more power over the selection of supreme court and appeals court judges.
Chief Judge Thomas Bower says in an order signed last week that the court will hear arguments on Nov. 6.
Lawyer Bob Rush, a former Democratic state senator who is one of the plaintiffs, asked that Gov. Kim Reynolds’ most recent appointment to the court, Judge Julie Schumacher, recuse herself because the validity of her appointment could be affected by the outcome.
Bower rejected the recusal request and a request for a full court hearing. He says he and four other judges will hear the case on an expedited basis. The lawsuit alleges the law is an unconstitutional infringement by the legislative branch of the judicial branch and violates a state law requiring bills to center on one topic and clearly state a purpose.
The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports three people were arrested on drug charges Wednesday, as the result of a September narcotics investigation conducted by the Mills and Fremont County K9 Units. 39-year old Matthew Joseph Tyson, of Pacific Junction, 33-year old Shaw Aaron Peterson, and 36-year old Misty Bea Petterson, both of Glenwood, were taken into custody for Possession of a Controlled Substance with the Intent to Deliver.
All three subjects were transported to the Mills County Jail, and held on $10,000 bond each. Glenwood Police assisted with the arrests.
An investigation into a stabbing late Wednesday night in Council Bluffs, has resulted in the arrest of a man on an Attempted Murder charge. (In an update to our earlier reports) Police said 41-year old Jerome Daniels, of Council Bluffs, stabbed 24-year old Alex Fichter, also of Council Bluffs, shortly before midnight, Wednesday. The incident took place at 313 N 17th Street. Authorities report Daniels stabbed Fichter twice in the chest with a knife.
Daniels remained on the scene after the assault, and was placed under arrest after being interviewed by detectives. Fichter was transported to the UNMC for treatment. A report on his condition was not released.
Officials say the men are acquainted, and had been together in the home for several hours, prior to the stabbing incident.
The Stuart Police Department reports that at around 12:13-a.m. Tuesday, Officers were dispatched to the 600 block of SW 7th St. in Stuart, for the report of a burglary. Upon arrival Officers discovered a juvenile female who reported being sexually assaulted in her bedroom. The juvenile alleged that an adult male had opened her bedroom window from the outside and climbed through. Once in the bedroom, the victim alleged that the male locked the bedroom door and sexually assaulted her. The alleged assault was witnessed by a second female who was in the room with the victim. The victim alleged that when her mother forced her way into the bedroom, the suspect fled back through the bedroom window. The mother reported to officers that she saw the suspect’s feet as he left through the window.
Both the victim and witness identified the suspect as 26-year-old Derrick Devon Henry, of Stuart. Henry was later found and arrested by Stuart Police Officers and charged with Burglary in the 1st Degree and Sexual Abuse in the 3rd Degree. He was booked into the Adair County Jail, where he was being held on a $100,000 dollar bond. Authorities said this is an ongoing investigation and additional charges may be filed at a latter date. The victim’s information will not be released as she is a juvenile.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Government forecasters say this winter will probably have big swings in weather. The National Weather Service predicts there’s a slight chance it will be warmer in most of the United States and no place will be colder than normal. It forecasts a wetter than normal winter for a swath of northern states from Montana to New York, dipping south to the northern half of Virginia. But forecasters admitted Thursday they aren’t too confident in the outlook for December through February.
Mike Halpert from the service’s Climate Prediction Center, says that’s because there’s no El Nino or La Nina in the central Pacific. Those are often key drivers of winter weather. That leaves other smaller more temporary factors to take charge. Halpert said those often lead to dramatic weather swings.
The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports four arrests took place, Wednesday.
The U-S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa reports a Council Bluffs man was sentenced Wednesday in Council Bluffs U-S District Court, to 200 months (16.6-years) in prison for Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance. 38-year old Jason Nicholas Feller was also required to serve a five-year term of supervised release, following completion of his incarceration.
Feller pleaded guilty in April of 2019. On December 30, 2018, Council Bluffs Police conducted a traffic stop on Feller, during which he admitted he had drugs in the vehicle. A search of the vehicle resulted in the recovery of two baggies containing approximately 12 grams of methamphetamine. Officers later located a container with a false bottom that held approximately 63 grams of methamphetamine.
The case was investigated by the Council Bluffs Police Department, Southwest Iowa Narcotics Enforcement Task Force, and the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
