Officials in Cass County say the cellular 9-1-1 outage KJAN reported on Friday evening continues to disrupt service for cell customers across Iowa. Cass County 9-1-1 Director Rob Koppert notified KJAN at around 6:35-p.m Friday about the disruption of 9-1-1 service, which affects cell phone or wireless users, only. Land-line, or hard wired phone service is NOT affected. It’s not clear how the problem started, or how long it will remain in effect.
The problem occurs when someone tries to call 9-1-1 on their cell phone. When that happens, the calls are rerouted to other service areas, resulting in a delay of response from emergency crews.
If you need Emergency Service, call 9-1-1 from a land-line or wired system, or call your local law enforcement agency directly from your cell. In Cass County, that number is 712-243-2204. In Montgomery County, call 712-623-5107. In Shelby County, call 712-755-2121 if you have an emergency. In Adair County, 641-743-2148. In Audubon County, 712-563-2631. For all other counties, call your local law enforcement agency.
Again, regular landline 9-1-1 service is NOT affected by this outage.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Jake Westbrook pitched 6 1-3 innings of two-run ball and contributed three hits, All-Star Matt Carpenter continued his strong season with three hits and three RBIs, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Diego Padres 9-6 on Friday night.
A career .116 hitter, Westbrook had never had more than one hit in a game. The right-hander, who scored twice and had an RBI, surpassed his hit output for the year with two singles and a double in his three at-bats. That raised his batting from .100 to .217. On the mound, Westbrook (6-4) scattered eight hits while striking out one and walking four.
After rookie Carlos Martinez allowed three runs in the ninth to make it a three-run game, All-Star Edward Mujica got the last two outs to record his 27th save in 29 chances.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – An Iowa judge has ruled that the majority of a closed-door meeting last year about a former Des Moines superintendent’s behavior was justified, but a redacted portion must be released to a former school board member. Yesterday’s ruling by Polk County Judge Karen Romano says most of the 80-minute meeting on May 10th, 2012 about superintendent Nancy Sebring properly followed an Iowa code that allows for such a private meeting.
