Applicants must plan to attend a college or vocational school, show involvement in school and/or community activities, supply a copy of their college acceptance letter, provide two letters of reference along with their 7 semester transcripts, and maintain academic achievement of 2.5 or better. The scholarships will be awarded at the Atlantic High School Class Night held in May.
Funds for the scholarships are raised at an annual golf tournament. Plans are already in the works for the 6th Annual TFred Memorial Golf Tournament to be held on Saturday, August 9th, 2013. Organizers look forward to another successful tournament so they can continue to grant scholarships for many years to come.
Trevor Frederickson graduated from Atlantic High School in 2006. He went on to further his education at Southwestern Community College in Creston where he studied automotive mechanics and played baseball for the Southwestern Spartans. Two additional $750 scholarships will be available for Southwestern Community College students this fall.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – Frontier Airlines says it will resume flights into the Sioux City airport beginning this summer. The Sioux City Journal reports Frontier in June will begin flights three days a week between Sioux City and Denver.
Denver-based Frontier will return to Sioux City six years after it pulled out of the market. Frontier will become the second carrier at Sioux Gateway Airport, joining American Airlines. The new flights will use 138-seat Airbus 319 jets.
In an update to our story on Feb. 4th, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources reports a meeting over the Iowa Communications Network (ICN) designed to gather the public’s thoughts on the hunting and trapping regulations for this fall, that was originally scheduled to be held at the St. Albert High School in Council Bluffs, has instead been moved to Lewis Central Middle School. Also another meeting location has been added at the public library in Atlantic.
The Lewis Central Middle School is located at 3504 Harry Langdon Blvd in Council Bluffs. Park in the single lot in front of the building along Langdon Blvd and enter the front door by the sign for the ICN room. The Atlantic Public Library is located at 507 Poplar Street. Both meetings will be held February 26th, from 6 to 9 p.m.
These meetings are part of the process for making rules in state government. At each meeting DNR staff will facilitate a discussion about what went well last fall, what didn’t, and what changes hunters and trappers would like to see for this fall. The discussions along with the data that the wildlife bureau collects on harvest and population numbers will be used to develop recommendations for any rule changes this fall. Any changes must be approved by the Natural Resource Commission and then go back to the public for further comment before taking effect next fall.
If you have questions call Matt Dollison at (712) 350-0147.

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) – The Cardinals are not putting a limit on the workload for young pitching star Michael Wacha. Pitching coach Derek Lilliquist says there’s no reason to. Wacha pitched 170 innings last year and his coach says he could be a 200-inning guy this year. Wacha’s readiness became more important this weekend after Jaime Garcia returned to St. Louis to have his surgically repaired shoulder examined.
Last season, only Adam Wainwright and Lance Lynn eclipsed the 200-inning mark for the Cardinals. Shelby Miller exceeded 170 innings as a rookie, but the team slowed him down.
