Police in Council Bluffs are investigating two robberies that occurred overnight Monday into early this (Tuesday) morning. Officials say at around 10:30-p.m. Monday, a stocky white male in his 20’s entered Eddy’s Gas Station at 611 East Broadway Street, displayed a gun and demanded money from the cash register. The suspect placed an undetermined amount of money in a bag and left the store on foot in an unknown direction of travel. Officials say he was about 5-feet 9-inches tall, weighed 200-pounds, had a goatee and wore a black hooded jacket with a design on it, black gloves, and panty hose over his face. He was also carrying a black bag.
The second robbery happened today (Tuesday) at around 2:40-a.m., at the Kum and Go Store on Bennett Avenue (154 Bennett) in Council Bluffs. Officials say a similarly dressed suspect carrying a black satchel-style duffel bag confronted the clerk and brandished a handgun. He also got away on foot with an unknown amount of cash.
Anyone with information about either incident is asked to contact Council Bluffs Police at 712-328-4761.
The Atlantic Parks and Recreation Department’s Board of Directors Monday evening, approved a request from Eagle Scout Grant Podhasky, for an improvement project at Sunnyside Park.

The project involves the replacement of the fire pit on the east side of the Camblin Addition to the park. The current fire pit is falling apart and patched together with concrete blocks as support.
The current fire pit
Podhasky said when he decided to pursue the project, he looked at three options for a new fire pit. He says he considered making it into a grill, but there’s already one in the area. He also looked into fire pit kits, but they weren’t visually and functionally adequate. Another option was to use retaining wall blocks.
The option he chose was using natural limestone, set in the form of a fire ring about 24-feet in diameter. Podhasky said the pit would have a concrete base lined with pea gravel and surrounded by timbers.

The project would use 2,000-pounds of limestone and 5.3-cubic yards of pea gravel.
Limestone blocks would serve as the basis for the fire pit.
As for seating options, Podhasky says he considered several options there, too. Split logs, wooden benches and limestone blocks were looked at, but ruled out for various reasons. The end solution was to use tree stumps, which provide a natural environment for the setting.
10 tree stumps would be placed in the circle around the fire pit. With the Park Boards’ approval, Podhasky can continue with fundraising efforts and acquire the necessary materials and equipment. Work on removing the current fire pit is expected to begin in June, with the project completed by mid-July.

An SUV occupied by 9 people crashed early Monday morning in Adair County, resulting in two adults and two children, all from eastern Iowa, being sent to the hospital in Greenfield. Three of the injured were not wearing seat belts. The Iowa State Patrol reports the injured were riding in a 2003 GMC Envoy that was traveling west on I-80 in construction zone at around 5:50-a.m., when the driver, 48-year old Lazaro Rodriguez Soto, of Cedar Rapids, fell asleep at the wheel.
The SUV ran off the road and hit a guard rail before overturning into the north ditch and coming to rest on its top. Transported to the Adair County Memorial Hospital in Greenfield was 49-year old MA Eugenia Montes-Vera, 26-year old Clara Rodriguez, a seven-year old and nine-year old child, all from Cedar Rapids.

The CAM School District’s Board of Education Monday evening, unanimously voted to move forward with a Superintendent sharing agreement with the neighboring Nodaway Valley Community School Disrict. The Nodaway Valley Board made a similar decision on May 8th.
Both Boards will meet sometime over the course of the next couple of weeks to work out the details. The final agreement will allow both districts to benefit from cost savings and additional incentives from the State.
If the agreement between CAM and Nodaway Valley moves to completion without any hitches, CAM Superintendent Steve Pelzer will announce his retirement at the June 16th Board meeting, meaning the districts would share the services of Nodaway Valley Superintendent Casey Berlau beginning with the 2014-2015 School year.
