CLEAR LAKE, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a small plane made an emergency landing on ice-covered Clear Lake and took off again before authorities reached the scene. The plane landed on the northern Iowa lake Saturday afternoon and taxied closer to the shoreline. No injuries were reported, and the plane did not appear significantly damaged. Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s deputy Jeff Bryant says the plane was gone by the time he reached the scene from Mason City.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A former Iowa Workforce Development worker who’d once described her boss as rude has been awarded unemployment benefits. The Des Moines Register reports that Trudi Snyder was fired after complaining to colleagues that agency director Beth Townsend was “obnoxiously rude” and later comparing the agency management to “the Gestapo.” Last week an administrative law judge awarded Snyder the benefits, saying employees’ complaining about work, their co-workers and their managers is a fact of life.

FORT MADISON, Iowa (AP) — A Burlington resident has been imprisoned for shooting to death another man. Court records say Joseph Mayorga Jr. pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last month and immediately was sentenced to 50 years. Police say he killed 47-year-old James Nelson on Feb. 10 last year. Mayorga told investigators that Nelson said something offensive about Mayorga’s wife, so he shot him in his left eye.

BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) — The trial of a second man accused of fatally shooting a gender-fluid Iowa teenager will be moved to another county. The Hawk Eye reports that a judge Thursday granted a request from the attorney for Jason Purham, of St. Louis. The trial will be held in Washington County and is scheduled to begin Sept. 25. Purham has pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder in the slaying of 16-year-old Kedarie Johnson.
