About one-third of the City of Atlantic and a large part of a rural area served by an Atlantic Municipal Utilities substation were without power for a few minutes Tuesday evening, thanks to a previously unknown problem.
Greg Smith, AMU’s Director of Electric Operations said they were putting in a new control system at around 4:45-p.m., and when they went to test the system and operate a breaker remotely, they quickly discovered a problem with some of the older wiring. Smith says result was a signal being sent to a wrong breaker, which opened-up and caused the Chestnut Street substation to briefly go off-line. He says it‘s a good thing they found the problem because the wiring was incorrect.
He says once the signal was sent and the breakers were tripped, they were able to clear the alarms and restore electrical service. Smith says they are working to correct the problem so it doesn’t occur again.

Atlantic Highlights…
4th – ReAnn Cappel doubled to lead off the inning, moved to third on a FC
by Bre VonWehye but was called for leaving too early on a pop out by Tiara
Edelman.
6th – Katie Groves led off the inning with a walk. Mollee Welter entered
the game as a courtesy runner. Ali Krogman reached on a fielding error.
Both runners moved up on a FC hit by ReAnn Capple but were stranded with a
strike out then ground out.
Coach Hinzmann’s comments…
“Not to take anything away from Harlan, they are an outstanding team, but
we just did not execute very well tonight and we lacked a great deal of
discipline at the plate. Those are two things which you simply can not do
against one of the best teams in the state and one of the best pitchers in
the conference. As a team we need to stop playing scared and begin
playing with some confidence. We seemed to be playing unemotional right
now and consequently are making mistakes that are more associated with
Little League teams and not 3A Hawkeye-Ten teams. I pitchers need to step
up and make pitches or we are going to continue to struggle.”
An old scam is making a comeback. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office is making the public aware of a scam that is currently going around in our area.
The scam involves a person who — in most cases — calls, claiming to be a grandchild or another relative. The individuals claims they are in jail and need money.
The Sheriff’s Office encourages anyone receiving a call of that nature to be extremely suspicious, and to ask questions of the caller, that only your grandchild or other relative would know the answers to.
In addition, before offering any financial help or information, you should to attempt to contact your grandchild or other relative yourself, to verify the story being told to you. You may recall, a year or so ago, we told you an area resident received a similar call from a person claiming to be a man’s grandson who was in jail in Canada.
When the resident asked the caller a question only his grandson could answer, the person on the other end of the phone became upset and eventually hung-up. The man later called his grandson to confirm he was NOT in trouble with the law.

Plenty of rumors are floating about the looming flooding in Council Bluffs and the city is taking steps to separate truth from fiction. Art Hill, a spokesman for Council Bluffs, says they’re launching a 24-seven flooding hotline so people can get answers to any questions right away.
“We are establishing an information line,” Hill says. “It’ll always be staffed by a person to relate information they’ve been hearing and whether or not it’s correct.” He says the city is also updating its website constantly with the latest flood data. Hill urges Council Bluffs residents and business owners to register on the city’s Code Red notification system.
“If, geographically, your home or business is in a location that might be impacted in some way, you’ll get either a phone call or a text telling you about it,” he says. Hill says officials want to make sure all residents with special needs get help in case there is an evacuation due to flooding — or some other emergency.
“Whether it’s because of limited mobility or age, they (should) register with the city and in the event of an evacuation, we’d have the information.” The information line is (712) 328-4672 and the website is: www.councilbluffs-ia.gov
