DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Following the limited expansion of a medical marijuana program, businesses say Iowa has a lot to learn to create a sustainable in-state program.

The program is set to start July 1, but businesses are concerned it’s too limited to attract enough patients. Because there is no legal way to get cannabis oil until companies began manufacturing it in Iowa in December 2018, some also worry that people who could benefit will be out of luck.

A nonpartisan analysis predicts 6,022 patients with qualifying conditions will enroll in the program. Cannabis distributors say that might not be enough.

The program could be expanded if the Medical Cannabidiol Advisory Board recommends changes. However, the application process for that board hasn’t started and there is no public timeline for its approval.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The city of Lincoln is attempting to extend the life of several hundred blocks of residential streets by trying two new products to help asphalt last longer.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports the city will apply GSB-88 and Reclamite to a total of about 275 blocks of asphalt pavement.

City engineer Erika Nunes says asphalt reacts with the sun, drying out and becoming brittle within its first five years. Cracks then form and pieces chip out.

GSB-88 will be applied to streets that are about five years old this summer. The primary ingredient in that product is a natural ore called Gilsonite.

Nunes says petroleum-based Reclamite can be applied every five years as long as the concrete foundation remains solid.

The projects are expected to cost Lincoln about $350,000.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities have found three children alive and well and apprehended the man they apparently were with who is suspected in the death of a woman at a Wichita home that burned down.

An Amber Alert has been issued earlier Friday for William J. Thompson III, 12, Ethan Thompson, 5, and Damien Wright, 2.

Authorities believed the kids were with with Dane Wright, 29, a suspect in the death and fire.

Wichita police consider the death associated with the fire suspicious and are trying to identify the victim. Authorities said Dane Wright was taken into custody and all three children were found safe. Authorities did not say the relationship between Dane Wright and the children.

MARION, Kan. (AP) — A central Kansas reservoir is indefinitely closed because of high levels of potentially harmful blue-green algae.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment, the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and Tourism and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced the closure as of Thursday of the Marion Reservoir. That does not include Marion County Lake.

Officials say people, pets and livestock should not drink the water and should avoid swimming, wading or skiing.

There is a restriction on all recreational and camping sites within 100 feet of the water at the reservoir.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri officials say the nearly all state tax refunds should be delivered by June 30.

The Missouri Department of Revenue said Thursday the only unpaid returns should be those that were flagged for various reasons.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that’s an improvement over last year, when former Gov. Jay Nixon ordered the agency to use overtime or hire temporary workers to process tax returns. Some returns took up to 10 weeks to return and the state paid $294,837 in late fees to nearly 84,000 people.

State law requires the state to pay interest if refunds aren’t paid within 45 days of taxes being filed. State Auditor Nicole Galloway says more than 400 people have contacted her office because of late refunds.

DORAL, Fla. (AP) — A 30-year-old woman suffered a medical emergency and died during a cosmetic procedure at a medical clinic in Florida.

The Miami Herald reports Lattia Baumeister of Rock Island, Illinois, died Thursday while undergoing an unidentified procedure at Seduction by Jardon’s Medical Center in Doral.

This is at least the third death of out-of-state women who came to South Florida to undergo cosmetic surgery. The newspaper reports that 25-year-old Ranika Hall, of Kansas City, Missouri, died March 25 after a Brazilian butt lift procedure performed at Eres Plastic Surgery in Hialeah. In May 2016, 29-year-old Heather Meadows of West Virginia died after cosmetic surgery at the Hialeah medical center.

No further details were released about Baumeister’s death. The investigation is continuing.

FARMINGTON, Mo. (AP) — An eastern Missouri nursing home worker faces charges for allegedly raping a resident who has dementia.

The Daily Journal newspaper in Park Hills, Missouri reports that 44-year-old James Royce Weber of Bonne Terre is jailed on $150,000 bond. A message left Friday with Weber’s attorney was not immediately returned.

Farmington police were called to Presbyterian Manor last month after concerns were raised by a visitor. Police say that after Weber left the room of the 74-year-old resident, a supervisor went into the room and found her partially unclothed.

The woman told authorities she had intercourse with Weber. Police say Weber admitted to having sex with the resident on two occasions about three weeks apart
