WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — Waterloo police say two people died of their injuries and another 10 were hurt when at least two people began shooting at each other inside a private club. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported that police said Monday that the second person to die at a hospital this weekend was a woman from outside Waterloo. A 22-year-old Waterloo man also died at a hospital after being shot. No arrests have yet been made.

Police said the shooting occurred about 3:15 a.m. Saturday. Authorities estimated that about 100 people were at the club when gunfire erupted inside following a confrontation.

The Creston Police Department reports two arrests from over the weekend. 23-year old Christopher Palmer, of Liberty, MO., and 46-year old Angela Wimber, of Afton, were arrested on separate charges Saturday, at 104 W. Taylor Street. Palmer was arrested at around 11:04-p.m., for Simple Assault. Wimber was arrested at around 1:18-p.m., for Disorderly Conduct. Both were released from the scene on a Summons to Appear.

And, a Creston man reported to Police late Saturday morning, that sometime between Sept. 21st and 24th, someone entered his vehicle, which was parked outside his residence in the 500 block of N. Cherry Street. A Springfield Arms semi-automatic .380 was stolen from inside the vehicle. The weapon was valued at $400.

A southwest Iowa man died Saturday afternoon, after the truck he was driving was struck by a BNSF train in northwest Missouri’s Atchinson County. According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, 52-year-old Troy L. Landess, of Clarinda, was driving a 2009 Mack truck eastbound on a private levy access road five-miles south of Rock Port, and had attempted to cross a private railroad crossing that was controlled only by a stop sign, when the truck was hit on its passenger side by the northbound locomotive. The accident happened at around 2:30-p.m.

The Patrol says Landess was partially ejected from the truck during the collision. The vehicle came to rest down an embankment, while the train came to stop on the tracks. The Train Engineer, 55-year old Daniel F. Peterson, of Beatrice, NE., was not injured.

Landess was transported to the Nemaha County, MO., Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The Atchison County Sheriff’s Department and Burlington Northern Railroad Police assisted at the scene.

The Cass County Board of Supervisors, Tuesday, will hold an in-person and electronic meeting (Via Zoom) [Meeting ID: 138 870 131  Password: 012064 ], beginning at 9-a.m.  On their agenda is action on a Resolution assigning a county-held tax sale certificate to the City of Atlantic, and enter into an agreement to abate taxes, if Atlantic acquires ownership of the parcel (#303003963001000). The Board will also review and change the compensation rate for County Engineer Trent Wolken, following last week’s closed session for his six-month performance review.

The Board will act on entering into an agreement to compromise tax and abate interest, penalty and cost and assign tax sale certificates to private citizen on County Held Tax Sale Certificates for a parcel in Block 6, the 2nd Addition, in Cumberland. (More specifically: Certificates 2007-71 and 2018-118 S50’ N80’ of Block 6, 2nd Addition, Cumberland)

In other business, the Supervisors will act on a Resolution placing Stop signs at the intersection of 595th Street and Lansing Road. Last week, Jon Schwanke asked the Board to consider a stop sign or signs at the “Blind” intersection located at the top of a hill. It was noted the site had become a dangerous corner due to increased traffic associated with the opening of a new rock quarry. The Board concluded after considerable discussion last week, that a Stop sign is needed.

And, the Board of Supervisors will discuss the closing of a County Roadway at 570th Street and the I-80 underpass. The Iowa DOT plans to make I-80 a six-lane highway, which requires the closure of some underpasses. As an incentive, they are offering the County about $1.5-million dollars to close the road. After much discussion last week, including sharing of concerns from land owners and residents in the area, located both north- and south- of I-80, the Board decided to continue those discussions at future meetings, including the one set for Tuesday.

Caring for another individual can be challenging and rewarding and has been especially hard during Covid-19. Officials with Connections Area Agency on Aging ask, “Do you know someone, or are you, caring for an older individual? Do they live in Adair, Adams, Cass, Cherokee, Clarke, Decatur, Fremont, Harrison, Ida, Pottawattamie, Mills, Monona, Montgomery, Page, Plymouth, Ringgold, Shelby, Taylor, Union or Woodbury county?”

If so, the Agency we would like to hear about that caregiver. How do they take care of themselves and manage the stress? Connections will be honoring the great work of caregivers during National Family Caregiver Month – November 2020. Please share, in 250 words or less, how the awesome caregiver you’re writing about does with their caregiving duties.
