Two people were injured Tuesday evening, after a van rear-ended a tractor about three-miles northwest of Clarinda. The Page County Sheriff’s Office reports a van driven by 61-year old Karla Morrison, of Clarinda, was traveling south on O Avenue, just south of the intersection with 170th Street, when she failed to notice a dual axle farm tractor, driven by 47-year old Terry Hughes, of rural Clarinda.
The 2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager hit the rear of the tractor, causing the 2007 John Deere Model 6430 to toll twice into the east ditch. Both drivers were transported to the Clarinda Regional Health Center by Clarinda E-M-S. Both vehicles were totaled in the crash, which happened just before 5-p.m. Officials cited Morrison for Following too close.
A 2010 Glenwood High School graduate hired as a part-time district-wide audio-visual support technician has been charged with sexually abusing a female student inside a high school closet. 19-year old Andrew Schoening, of Glenwood, faces up to 10-years in prison if he’s convicted on a charge of statutory rape. He would also be required to register as a sex offender.
According to court documents filed in Mills County, a 15-year old female told Glenwood police Schoening forced her to have sex in a closet at the high school. Schoening was hired by the Glenwood school district’s technology team in September. He oversaw audio-visual equipment at high school athletic contests. The alleged incident happened during the school day on December 20th. The student reported the alleged incident to high school staff, and school officials promptly notified local law enforcement. Schoening resigned after the incident came to light last week.
Mills County Attorney Eric Hansen told the Omaha World-Herald that Schoening, who turns 20 next month, faces a charge of third-degree sexual abuse, which requires the prosecutor to prove only a sex act with a person who was 15 when the defendant was 19 or older. Hansen said regardless of consent, any sexual contact involving Schoening and the minor would constitute a crime because of the age difference.
Council Bluffs defense attorney Mike Murphy said he intends to prove the sexual contact was “consensual.” Murphy hopes proving the encounter was consensual might result in a less severe penalty or exoneration. He said Schoening and the girl were acquaintances who often crossed paths in the high school. Schoening has admitted to having sex with the teen. He also admitted to police that he knew the girl was under age.
Schoening remains free after posting bail last week. A Mills County magistrate has ordered him not to have any contact with the girl or her family.

USDA/FSA Executive Director for Iowa, John R. Whitaker, has announced that $10.8 million of Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) and Emergency Forest Restoration Program (EFRP) funding has been received for Iowa’s farmers to repair land that was damaged by 2011 natural disasters. Counties receiving ECP funds for Missouri River Flooding are: Woodbury, Monona, Harrison, West Pottawattamie, Mills, and Fremont. Woodbury County will also receive funding under the EFRP program. Dubuque, Benton, and Tama Counties will receive ECP funding for damages related to 2011 summer storms.
ECP provides cost share assistance to rehabilitate farmland and conservation structures. Producers/landowners who have suffered terrace washouts, flood debris in the fields and deposits, fences washed out and other damage to eligible conservation structures should contact the local FSA office for more information. EFRP participants may implement emergency forest restoration practices, including emergency measures necessary to repair damage caused by natural disaster to natural resources on nonindustrial private forestland and restore forest health and forest related resources on land.
FSA County Committee’s determine eligibility based on on-site inspections of the damaged land and consider the type and extent of the damage. If you would like to learn more about ECP, EFRP, or other programs administered by FSA, please contact your local office or go online to www.fsa.usda.gov
