FREMONT, Neb. (AP) – A 42-year-old man already given four to 12 years in prison for stealing copper wire in Dodge County, NE, has been given another term for stealing copper wire in Saunders County, NE. Saunders County Attorney Scott Tingelhoff says Scott Mohr was given four to 12 years for the wire theft from center pivot irrigation systems last year. The sentences will be served at the same time.
Mohr and another Omaha man, 39-year-old Clifford Krings, are suspected of stealing copper wire from a field north of Council Bluffs in Iowa’s Pottawattamie County. The two were arrested last May. Mohr waits prosecution on the Iowa theft, criminal mischief and trespass charges. Kings pleaded guilty and was given two years of probation. Kings wasn’t charged in Nebraska.
The beginning of Spring last week marked the start of severe weather season in the Midwest. The season typically brings strong storms that produce heavy rain, hail, destructive winds and tornadoes. As part of Severe Weather Awareness week, the National Weather Service (NWS), in coordination with the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, Oklahoma, will conduct a Statewide Tornado Drill in Iowa and other Midwestern states.
The drill begins at 10-a.m., when the SPC issues a Test Tornado Watch for Iowa and Nebraska. The National Weather Service offices in both states will issue the Test Watch tones on all NOAA Weather Radios and the Emergency Alert System (EAS), as a Test Message.
At 10:10-a.m., the NWS offices in Sioux Falls and Omaha will issue test tornado warnings for their Iowa counties, and at 10:15-a.m., the NWS offices in Des Moines and the Quad Cities will issue a Test Tornado Warning for their Iowa counties.
From 10:30 until about 10:35, all Iowa NWS offices will issue a Severe Weather Statement to terminate the test warnings. The Test Tornado Watch will officially expire at 11-a.m. During the test, residents, businesses, local governments and schools are urged to carry out their Tornado safety plans and procedures, as though a real weather event was about to occur and is occurring.

The Atlantic Parks and Recreation Department’s Board of Directors will hold a special meeting Thursday evening, at City Hall. During the 5:15-p.m. session, the Board will act on approving the bids, contract and plans for the Parks and Recreation Dept. office and Maintenance building, as presented by Snyder and Associates.
The total estimated project cost is $311,000, but during a Parks and Rec Board meeting in February, Director Roger Herring said the Building Committee had hoped to find a way to cut $80,000 from that price tag, by having a skeletal electrical system in the shop area, insulation modifications, plumbing and heating changes, through the use of temporary light fixtures, and gravel in the driveway. Engineering costs were also reduced, due to the changes in the latest design.
A contract for the project is expected to be awarded during the Atlantic City Council meeting on April 3rd.
