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.”

(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.
