(Creston, Iowa) – Sheriff’s officials in Union County report no injuries occurred after a car struck a deer Saturday evening, near Creston. Authorities say 18-year-old Shalaya Armstead, of Independence, was driving a 2013 Dodge Dart northbound on Osage Road at around 6-p.m., when the right front side of her car struck a deer that had entered the roadway out of the east ditch.
The vehicle sustained $4,000 damage.
Story County Jail records show Burrows was released from custody.
But prosecutors disagree in their response. Federal prosecutors say he did intend to disrupt the certification of the Electoral College vote on the floor of the Senate, which is an official proceeding. They say the charge is not vague, adding “as applied to Jensen’s conduct, which includes leading the breach of the Capitol as part of the January 6 mob.” Six judges have rejected similar arguments made by Jan. 6 defendants, according to the prosecution.
Ten days ago, a federal judge denied Jensen’s request for release from holding until his trial, a date has not been set.

(Adair, Iowa) The search for a new Superintendent of the AC/GC School District has been narrowed down to three candidates. The process began in Oct. 2021, when current Superintendent Dennis McClain submitted his resignation, effective at the end of the 2022 School Year. McClain has served as the shared district’s Superintendent since July 1st, 2019.
The search process to find his replacement began in Dec., 2021, with a stakeholder survey. It will conclude this coming week, with a formal interview of the three finalists: Brett Abbotts, Jeremy Christiansen, and Josh Rasmussen.
Rasmussen is currently the middle school principal in the Atlantic CSD. He previously served as an assistant principal in the Atlantic CSD, as well as the high school dean of students. He holds a master’s degree in K-12 administration from Iowa State University and a bachelor’s degree in business education from Buena Vista University.
Abbotts was previously an assistant principal, athletic director, and special education director in the AHSTW Schools. He is a doctoral student in educational administration at the University of Nebraska, along with a master’s degree and specialist degree in educational administration from Fort Hays State University and a master’s degree in special education from Morningside College.
Christiansen is the 5th-12th grade Principal in the Fremont-Mills CSD. He was previously an activities director and activity transportation coordinator in the Fremont CSD. Christiansen holds a master’s degree from the University of Nebraska-Kearney and a bachelor’s degree in physical education and health from Buena Vista University.
The new superintendent will begin serving both districts effective July 1, 2022.
(IGHSAU) The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union Board of Directors voted unanimously to sanction girls wrestling as the organization’s 11th sport. The vote was made at the IGHSAU’s January 12th board of directors meeting and was announced prior to the start of the championship round of the IWCOA Girls State Wrestling Tournament Saturday in Coralville. The first IGHSAU-sanctioned season will take place during the 2022-23 school year.
“We think there’s a great foundation in place for the success of this sport and we intend to fully support these Iowa Girls as they continue their pursuit of championships,” said IGHSAU Executive Director Jean Berger. “As the sanctioning process unfolded, the Board was able to quickly approve this new opportunity for our girls and schools across the state. The increase in participation, the growth in youth wrestling and the willingness of our schools to commit to the sport all factored into this decision.”
The IGHSAU intends to follow the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) wrestling rules and guidelines. The next steps in this process include meeting with an appointed IGHSAU wrestling advisory committee this winter to finalize details for this roll-out year that include format for the season, classification system, weight classes, and postseason/tournament details.
“The journey to sanctioning girls wrestling as a sport for the IGHSAU has been a labor of love,” said IGHSAU Associate Director and wrestling administrator Erin Kirtley. “I’m honored to have been given the job as a catalyst to get this part of the process accomplished for the girls in our state. While we have closed the book on formal sanctioning, we look forward to opening the next one now as we highlight all the great stories our female wrestlers are continuing to write. The IGHSAU has said from the beginning that our intent is to do what is best for the girls who participate. We look forward to giving them the same amazing experiences as the other ten sports under our umbrella, and to leave nothing spared when it comes to building them as student athletes and leaders. We also look forward to supporting the coaches and officials who serve alongside these athletes, and to give their fans a greater appreciation for what these females already do day in and day out.”
To date, 58 schools have committed to sponsoring girls wrestling programs in Iowa. The latest data from Trackwrestling.com shows 1,018 girls participating in high school wrestling, represented by over 185 Iowa schools. Wrestling becomes the 11th sport to be sanctioned by the IGHSAU and the first since bowling was added in 2007. Iowa becomes the 34th state association to sanction girls’ wrestling.
