Police investigate hazing claims at Nodaway High School

GREENFIELD — Police say they are investigating allegations of hazing involving the wrestling team at Nodaway Valley High School in Greenfield.

KCCI-TV in Des Moines reports the city's police chief confirmed the incident but declined to reveal details other than to say it involved several students.

The school's athletic director, David Huff, sent a letter to parents Friday saying the school is aware of a hazing incident on the wrestling team and that the school conducted its own investigation. He says disciplinary action is being taken and the school is taking action to prevent a similar incident in the future.

In the letter, Huff says school officials were "disturbed by this incident."

Superintendent Casey Berlau declined to say if any students had been disciplined and declined further comment.

This week the Iowegian wants readers to think about President Barack Obama. Since Barack Obama was elected president, two significant things have occurred: The military repealed the "Dont' Ask, Don't Tell" policy allowing gays and lesbians to openly serve and just recently he publicly said he supports gay marriage. For some, these actions signal a shift away from God, morality and threatens national security. Others say it's about time people in same-sex relationships can wed and openly gay service members do not threaten national security. Now, depending on who you listen to, President Obama is the first "gay" president of the United States. Is that something to worry about? So, the question this week is, "President Barack Obama, the first "gay" president of the United States. Is it cause for concern?"

A. Yes it is.
B. No it is not.
C. Don't care.
D. Not sure.
