GUTHRIE COUNTY, Iowa – The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is investigating a drowning at Lake Panorama on Saturday morning. Around 11-a.m.,  the Iowa DNR received a call of a man in the water that was unresponsive. Through the investigation it was determined that 19-year old Ashton Maier, of Grimes, was kayaking with friends when he somehow exited his kayak and went under the water and didn’t resurface for some time.

When bystanders found his body, they performed CPR until paramedics arrived and took over; he was then taken by air ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines, where he died on Saturday evening.

When Maier was found, he was not wearing a personal flotation device; however, he did have a personal flotation device within his kayak. The DNR urges everyone to wear your personal flotation device while on the waters.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – After years of losses, officials in Council Bluffs are considering privatizing a 90-year-old city golf course. The Daily Nonpareil reports the City is considering transferring management of Dodge Riverside golf course and its restaurant to a private manager.

The city-owned course was created in 1927. Mayor Matt Walsh says the facility lost just over $300,000 in both fiscal years 2014 and 2015. Walsh says city officials met with staff before the 2016 season to come up with a plan to bring down expenditures. The course eliminated two staff positions and increased green fees by about $2. Despite an increase in revenue, the course still lost just over $250,000.

Walsh says the city will request proposals from golf course management companies in July.
