DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Voters have selected Republican Stan Gustafson to replace Julian Garrett in Iowa’s House District 25.  The 71-year-old Gustafson got nearly 70 percent of the votes Tuesday, beating a 59-year-old Democrat from Winterset, Pam Deichmann.

There’s been yet another delay in the court proceedings for a former Harlan teacher facing sexual exploitation and assault charges. During a hearing held Monday (Jan. 6th, 2014), Judge James Richardson continued the Pre-Trial Conference date for 73-year-old Lee Gordon Nelson, who has waived his rights to a speedy trial. The pre-trial conference has been rescheduled to take place January 21st, in Shelby County District Court. Nelson’s jury trial is still slated to begin at 9-a.m., on March 4th.

Nelson faces charges of sexual exploitation by a school employee and assault with intent to commit sexual abuse. A 17-year-old female claiming to be a victim and her parents contacted police on May 30, 2013, and reported that Nelson had allegedly been saying rude and inappropriate things to the female, as well as touching her inappropriately.

The incidents allegedly occurred at school, on band trips and at his residence.

Iowa State Fair cashless plan draws some criticism

News

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – A plan to eliminate cash sales at food vendors and other Iowa State Fair attractions has drawn criticism from some longtime fairgoers.  Patrons will no longer buy items with cash. Instead, they will buy tickets at about 50 fairgrounds spots and pay for food and beverages with those tickets. Fair officials said in announcing the system Tuesday that it will be more secure and speed up food purchases because vendors won’t have to make change.

Some fairgoers say the hassle of lines or figuring out how many tickets they’ll need could be enough to make them stay home.  Seventy-one-year-old Andi Blume told The Des Moines Register that “it’s just all an inconvenience.” She says she and her husband don’t attend other events that use a similar ticket system.
