When a Palo Alto County drug dealer was sentenced to serve 10 years in prison, he was forced to leave behind his ill-gotten gains, and those gains have now become the property of the Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office.
On Jan. 6, Judge Charles K. Borth agreed there was sufficient proof from Palo Alto County Deputy Sheriff Eric Ring to issue a search warrant for a Graettinger residence.
“The warrant satisfied the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution protecting against unreasonable search and seizures,” explained Palo Alto County Attorney Peter C. Hart.

Oh, Baby, What A Week!
Thu, September 2, 2010 @ 10:18AM
Jacob had more going on last week than one little body had any business having. On one day, there was a trip to the hospital; on the next day, there was a first birthday to celebrate. Last Friday, Rich and I awoke early and readied ourselves for a trip to the hospital. The morning was uncannily similar to one almost exactly a year ago when we rose before the sun to make it to the hospital for Jacob’s delivery. This year, however, I wasn’t the one having a procedure done; it was Jacob’s turn. Jacob was scheduled for surgery Friday morning to place tubes in his ears. Over the past four months, the little guy has had more than his share of ear infections and time on antibiotics. Well, we were soon good to go, but still needed to wake a sleeping babe. When we roused Jacob, he wanted a bottle, but we couldn’t oblige him. He was to have general anesthesia and could have nothing to eat or drink after midnight.

Ah-So Sorry!
Wed, March 18, 2009 @ 10:25AM
The current economic situation in the nation, albeit the globe, has certainly generated a lot of media coverage telling us of the unpleasantness. There haven’t been a lot of “feel good” stories of late about the tough times, instead, there seem to be more and more incidents of complete disregard for what is “right” and “just,” Perhaps the biggest example of this is the recent revelation that officials of AIG Insurance are awarding bonuses of $1 million to company executives, even in light of the fact that AIG has received $170 billion of federal money to keep the firm afloat. When I first heard the news stories on the radio, my first thought was unprintable. My rational side then responded, “How can that be?” There’s a lot of people around the country who are asking the same thing. How can that be? In their defense, AIG uses the excuse that the raises are “contractually required”.

Ten Years Ago
Wed, August 18, 2010 @ 5:51PM
Over the weekend I was getting gas for the lawnmower. A car pulled up in the next space and a young acquaintance got out to put gas in his vehicle. He was on his way to his ten-year class reunion. “Time really flies,” he said. What was happening in your life ten years ago? Ten years ago I cared for my granddaughters for the summer. Samantha was 7 and Nicole was 5. It was quite an adventure, and fortunately we had the world’s best babysitter. These two little girls had the opportunity to do many things in rural Iowa that they would never have experienced in the city. To mention a few things, they participated in the summer reading program at the library, the Junior Naturalist Program at Kearney Park, the Junior Cheer Camp, swimming lessons at the Wellness Center and they showed sheep at the County Fair. As I said, we had the world’s best babysitter. Samantha participated in junior golf and played in her first tournament here.
