The Cass County Conference Board met on Thursday evening in the Cass County Courtroom to discuss an insurance coverage situation for two former employees. A majority of Mayors, School Boards, and Supervisors voted in favor of continuing their coverage through the end of the year.
Coverage for the two was set to expire on October 31st and they would of had to pay out of pocket to keep coverage for November and December. The two employees were let go during restructuring of duties and a number of those involved at the meeting thought it was the right thing to do to extend the benefit. The county will absorb the cost of coverage for the remainder of the year for approximately $9,200. The money will come out of the Assessor’s budget.
A separation agreement with the coverage included is being drafted and will be given to the former employees to sign.
Two people were taken to the hospital following a collision at the intersection of Oxford Road and 690th Street in Cass County on Thursday. The accident occurred shortly after 5:00 p.m. as a 2012 Chevy Silverado was westbound on Oxford and ran the stop sign at 690th. The truck struck a 2018 Honda Civic that was southbound on 690th.
Two occupants in the Honda were flown by helicopter to an area hospital to receive treatment for unspecified injuries. The driver of the Chevy received no injuries and walked away from the scene. One of the vehicles ended up in the ditch and the other in a field near the intersection.
No further details or names are known at this time.
The Creston Police Department reports three arrests over the past 24-hours.
On Thursday at 3:46 a.m. Officers arrested 30-year-old Anthony Roger Cross of Creston at the intersection of Fremont and Pine Streets. Cross was charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of a Controlled Substance Methamphetamine-3rd Offense, Controlled Substance Violation, and Failure to Affix Drug Tax Stamp. Cross was taken to the Union County Jail and held on $35,000 bond.
Also on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. Officers arrested 31-year-old Andrew Justin Kerwin of Creston at the Union County Law Enforcement Center. Kerwin was charged with OWI-1st Offense and held on no bond until seen by a Magistrate.
Early Friday at 1:26 a.m. Creston Police arrested 27-year-old Charles Kegan Lohoff of Creston for Possession of Controlled Substance-Marijuana 1st Offense, OWI-1st Offense, and Carry Weapon While Intoxicated. Lohoff was later released after posting $300 bond.
It is back to the Big Ten for the fifth ranked Iowa Hawkeyes Friday night as they visit Maryland in a battle of 4-0 teams. Led by quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa (Tau-lee-uh Tongue-uh-vai-LO-uh) the Terps’ offense is averaging better than 37 points per game and Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says Tagovailoa’s mobility is also a concern.
Ferentz says controlling the tempo of the game is important but that is not always possible.
Ferentz says the Hawkeyes’ veteran secondary will be challenged
Iowa trailed for the first time in the second half against Colorado State and Ferentz says his team will need to handle that kind of adversity the remainder of the season.
We’ll have coverage of the game on the Hawkeye Radio Network tonight. Pregame is at 5:00 p.m. with kickoff at 7:00 p.m.
