December 18th, 2021 by admin

The AHSTW Vikings played about as close to a complete game as possible on Saturday afternoon in Council Bluffs. The Vikings used tight defense and efficient offense to roll past St. Albert 83-42.

The VIkings bursted out to a 23-7 lead by the end of the first and led 44-23 by halftime. The Vikings came in with three players averaging in double figures and they all hit that mark by the break. Raydden Grobe, Kyle Sternberg, and Brayden Lund each had 12 by half. The VIkings didn’t let off the gas in the second half and Grobe poured in 11 more in the third quarter to finish with a game high 23. Lund added 21. AHSTW Head Coach GG Harris said it was great as a coach to watch how well his guys rotated and executed on defense.

The Vikings improved to 6-0 heading into the holiday break. Coach Harris said he’s got a motivated bunch.

St. Albert falls back to 3-3 on the season with the loss and they will take on Kuemper Catholic next Tuesday. AHSTW will face Treynor coming out of the break on January 3rd.

North Olive Street to Remain Closed into Next Week

News

December 18th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

Atlantic, Iowa – Cass County Emergency Management Coordinator Mike Kennon, today (Saturday, Dec. 18), said Olive Street north of Atlantic remains closed since powerful storms passed through the area last Wednesday evening. Large transmission power lines continue to lay across N. Olive Street between Dallas and Chicago Roads.

Trent Wolken, Cass County Engineer, has been informed by utility officials that crews have been on-site to removing lines from the downed structures that support the high-voltage lines. Temporary power poles are also currently on-site, but a specialized rig to place those poles won’t arrive until Monday morning.

Kennon is asking drivers on this roadway to be more patient. “I have witnessed many trucks and other vehicles disregard the Road Closed barriers. Many of those same folks become very distressed when they find out the road is indeed impassable and find out that it’s very difficult to get turned around.”

Holiday meals don’t need to be a minefield

News

December 18th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Some Iowans are learning the hard way that overindulging in their favorite seasonal comfort foods can be a recipe for heartburn. Dr. Michael Kreines, a gastroenterologist, says if you ate or drank too much at a holiday or family gathering, you may have been left with that painful, burning sensation in your chest or throat. “Don’t let it ruin your holiday. Being mindful of what you eat and what you drink can help you avoid heartburn symptoms,” Kreines says. “There are also safe and effective over-the-counter and prescription medications to help treat heartburn symptoms.”

Studies show more than one in four Iowans suffer from heartburn or acid reflux at least once a week. If it’s two or more days a week, that’s considered “frequent” heartburn. He says Iowans in that category -can- find relief.  “Over-the-counter proton pump inhibitors, or O-T-C P-P-I-S, provide a safe and effective option when taken according to the label,” he says, “and they are the only nonprescription medicines that are specifically recommended to help treat frequent heartburn symptoms.”

Some brand names include: Prevacid, Nexium, Prilosec and Zegerid. For more information, visit KnowYourOTCs.org.
