Officials with the Cass County Health System (CCHS), says the Foundation’s 2016 Annual Campaign is now underway with a goal of raising $54,000 to purchase two critical pieces of patient care equipment. Dawn Marnin, CCHS Foundation Director
“Our plan is to purchase a new coagulation analyzer for the Laboratory and a ventilator for Respiratory Therapy. We’re determined to be the best rural hospital in the country, which means we are committed to staying at the cutting edge of technology as medical care advances.”
The coagulation analyzer performs more than 400 PT/INR tests each month, which is a test to measure how quickly your blood clots. This machine is essential for patients who have been on the medication Coumadin or Warfarin, and it’s also used before surgeries to reduce the risk of unexpected bleeding during surgery. The coagulation analyzer can also be used to detect blood clots.
Mitch Whiley, MLS (ASCP), Director of Laboratory Services noted, “This analyzer will bring some exciting new technology previously not available at our facility. We are thankful for the community’s support so that we can continue to provide excellent care for our patients.”
The second piece of equipment that the Foundation is fundraising for is a new ventilator. For critically ill patients, a ventilator can take over the work of breathing. The ventilator that CCHS will purchase is a versatile model that can be used on all patients—from newborns on up—and it can be used for both non-invasive and invasive therapy. It’s also very portable, making it easy to quickly transport to a patient in need.
The CCHS Foundation was established in 1968 to support the hospital’s mission by funding services, programs, and equipment. For more information or to make a donation, contact Dawn Marnin, CCHS Foundation Director, at 712-243-7409, dmarnin@casshealth.org or via the CCHS website, www.casshealth.org.
The Cass County Democratic Party will hold a fundraiser at the Cass County Community Center in Atlantic on Saturday, January 2, 2016. Officials say s full luncheon will be provided, starting at 12:30-p.m. The cost of admission is $25 per person, with funds raised to be used by the local party to help cover expenses of the upcoming caucus and election seasons.
Sherry Toelle, Cass County Democratic Chair, is requesting RSVP’s to her by December 28th. “We want to make sure we have enough food and enough seating for everyone but people are still welcome to attend without a reservation, if they are unable to RSVP by the 28th.”
Presidential candidate Governor Martin O’Malley of Maryland will speak during the event at 2-p.m., January 2nd. Invitations have also been sent to the two other Presidential candidates Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders but neither has confirmed as of this date (Dec. 18th). Iowa Senatorial and Congressional candidates as well as local candidates have also been invited to the event.
This is the first event in Cass County at which any of the Democratic Presidential candidates will have attended. Contact Sherry Toelle at 243-4861 with any questions about the event.
Police in Council Bluffs arrested a man following a domestic disturbance late Friday morning, and charged him with Harassment in the 1st Degree and Interference with Official Acts. 19-year old Matthew Michael Kissell, of Council Bluffs, was taken into custody at around Noon and booked into the Pottawattamie County Jail.
Authorities says officers were dispatched at around 11:47-a.m. to a residence at 1427 Ave F. Upon officers arrival it was determined that Kissell was still inside the residence and had made threats to shoot an adult relative and any responding police officers. A perimeter was set up outside the residence. Officers were able to make verbal contact with the man, who surrendered peacefully and was taken into
custody after exiting the home.
No one was injured during the incident and no weapons were ever located. During the incident, the staff at nearby Roosevelt Elementary School was notified to put their school into “lockout” until this situation could be resolved. Roosevelt Elementary was placed in “lockout” for approximately 30 minutes.
A Pottawattamie County man was sentenced Thursday to jail time and fined, for filing a false tax return. Chief U-S District Court Judge John A. Jarvey sentenced 62-year old Craig A. Tripp, of Avoca, to three months imprisonment and fined him $15,000 for filing a false 2009 tax return. In addition, Tripp was ordered to serve one year of supervised release following his prison term. According to the plea agreement, Tripp agreed to pay his tax liability, in an amount to be determined by the Internal Revenue Service.
At the sentencing hearing, Chief Judge Jarvey found Tripp failed to provide for an accurate accounting of his profits derived from the sale of beer and other items from his business, the Blue Moon Bar and Grill in Avoca, Iowa. Chief Judge Jarvey also found Tripp had failed to report business profits on his 2007, 2008, and 2010 federal tax returns.
The matter was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigations and prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State had hoped to ease Marquette transfer Deonte Burton into its rotation.
The loss of Naz Mitrou-Long for the season did away with that luxury.
Burton, a 6-foot-4 swing player, will be counted on as a key contributor for the fifth-ranked Cyclones (9-0) starting with Saturday’s game against Northern Iowa (6-3) in Des Moines.
Burton, a sophomore, averaged 6.9 points in 32 games at Marquette. He was named the Big 12 preseason newcomer of the year.
