LAWTON, Iowa (AP) – A former city clerk in northwest Iowa has been convicted after making a plea deal in a Nebraska child sex case. Court records say 61-year-old Douglas Furlich, of Lawton, Wednesday entered a plea of no contest to an amended count of attempted sexual assault by use of an electronic communication device. Sentencing has been set for Nov. 9th. The Lawton City Council in Iowa fired Furlich after his arrest.
The Nebraska State Patrol says Furlich posted an ad online saying he was “looking for a younger guy.” Officials say an undercover officer responded, pretending to be a 15-year-old boy. Court documents say Furlich went to a South Sioux City, Nebraska, park in June to meet the boy. Furlich was arrested there.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Eppley Airfield officials have made changes to ease the parking crunch during construction of another parking garage. The Omaha World-Herald reports that the existing rental car parking garage will be demolished next spring, making way for a six-story parking garage with 3,000 parking stalls. Of those, 900 will be for rental cars. The existing rental car garage has 519 public spaces and 555 spots for rental cars.
During construction, rental cars will be relocated to a new parking lot nearby. A shuttle will take customers to the temporary facilities. The construction project doesn’t affect the airport’s main parking garage, but a parking guidance system has been installed to show drivers the available spots on each of the six floors in the garage.
If you’ve got walnut trees and some time to rake up the walnuts that fall from them, you can make a little money from the State Forest Nursery. Nursery spokesperson Candace Weigel says they collect walnuts every year to grow into thousands of seedlings. They are a little short on their seed supply this year. “This year and last year there’s been kind of a short of walnut seed, so we are having enough trouble getting enough walnuts to fulfill the walnut seedlings that we need to supply for the state,” Weigel says.
She says the walnut shortage is something that happens from time-to-time. She says seeds on trees tend to be cyclical as walnuts are prolific some years and other years are down. Weigel says that happens with other species too such as oaks. Weigel says they will pay you two dollars, 50 cents for each bushel of walnuts you bring to collection sites around the state.
“Just the native black walnut, which most trees are around here,” Weigel says. “If you know that you have an English walnut, then we don’t want that, just the native black walnut.” Weigel says the walnuts should be fresh and in good condition, free of debris like sticks and leaves. The seed can just be in buckets, or loose in a pickup bed or trailer. And the hulls can be left on,” she says. Weigel says most people don’t do anything with the walnuts that fall off their trees.
“Most of the walnuts will just be left for the animals and the squirrels bury some of them and they will grow up and produce little walnut seedlings,” according to Weigel. “Some people do collect them and crack them completely open and do eat the black walnut.” You can sell your walnuts at the State Forest Nursery in Ames (800-865-2477), Shimek State Forest (319-878-3811) in Farmington, Stephens State Forest (641-774-4559) in Chariton and Yellow River State Forest (563-586-2090) in Harpers Ferry.
Weigel says you should call first to schedule a time to drop off walnuts to be sure someone will be there to collect them and pay you.
