Two people were injured during a motorcycle accident Sunday night, near Crescent. According to the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office, 30-year old Daniel Slusky, of Omaha, was driving a 1999 Harley Davidson motorcycle on Highway 183 (Old Lincoln Highway), when he crossed the center line of the road and lost control of the cycle before it crashed. The accident happened at around 8:05-p.m., Sunday.
Pott County Sheriff’s Department spokesman, Sgt. Dwayne Riche, says Slusky was unconscious when rescue crews arrived. He was flown by Life Flight helicopter to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, where a report on his condition is currently not available.
An adult female passenger on the cycle, Dakota Job, of Omaha, was injured, and transported by Crescent Fire and Rescue to the UNMC.
Sgt. Riche says alcohol was being investigated as a possible cause of the crash.

The Atlantic City Council has several Resolutions to act on during their meeting Wednesday evening, at City Hall. Included among them are those pertaining to approval of contracts and bonds for the Portland Cement Concrete and Hot Melt Asphalt paving projects, the Sunnyside Park Road Resurfacing and Parking improvement, Bull Creek Pathway Resurfacing, and City sidewalk repair, projects.
The Council will also hear a report from the City’s Finance Committee, with regard to a proposed Development Agreement with Boulders Inn and Suites. The committee will meet Tuesday, and present their recommendation to the Council on Wednesday.
City Administrator Doug Harris says while there currently is no signed agreement with Boulders, negotiations remained ongoing, and he’s hopeful an agreement can be reached in time for a public hearing. The Council will decide Wednesday, on whether to approve a resolution setting a date for the hearing on the 15th, but if an agreement is not reached by the time their meeting takes place, the resolution and action on the matter will have to be tabled.
Harris says the latest proposal presented by Boulders’ developers, is for a $125,000 up-front grant from the City, and a total of $41,000 in tax rebates. The developer would also realize another $42,208 in tax avoidance savings. The incentives package would end up costing the City $247,464, or about $5,824 less than what the City offered last May.
The biggest advantage, according to Harris, is that the tax rebates would be spread over nine-years, rather than four. The extended time frame, he says, also allows the City a better cash flow and the ability to fund other, needed, public improvements.
In other business, the Council, Wednesday, will act on authorizing Mayor Dave Jones to sign a five-year agreement between the City and The Iowa Department of Transportation, for maintenance and repair of primary roads. It would be in effect from July 1st, 2011 through June 30th, 2016.
The Atlantic City Council meeting begins at 5:30-p.m., Wednesday.

Nearly 100 people have been tested in connection with a measles case that state health officials are treating as a “public health emergency.” Most of the people were passengers on a flight from Chicago to Des Moines on May 11. A child, who later tested positive for the measles, was on the American Airlines plane (flight 3965). Iowa Department of Public Health Medical Director Dr. Patricia Quinlisk says measles is easily spread and can cause serious illness.
“It can cause permanent damage, such as brain damage. Even with good medical care…it can still cause people to die,” Quinlisk said. “So, we take this disease very seriously and want to make sure we stop anybody from getting the measles if we can.”
Iowans who were on the flight or visited Mercy Central Pediatric Clinic or Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines on May 14 may’ve been exposed to the measles. The symptoms include fever, cough, red/pink eyes, runny nose and a rash. Quinlisk says people who suspect they have the measles should NOT go directly to the E-R or their doctor’s office.
“What you need to do is call your health care provider ahead of time…and they will arrange for you to be seen in a way that is safe for the health care provider and you’re not spreading it to other patients,” Quinlisk said.
Iowans who are not sure if they’ve received two MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccines should contact their health care provider. Quinlisk says people who are vaccinated have a 99-percent chance of never getting the measles – even if they’re exposed to the disease. Those older than their mid-50s and know that they had measles as a child do not need to be vaccinated.
