Dry Northern Plains helps spring runoff prep on MO. River

News

December 19th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A dry fall across the Northern Plains has helped the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers release water from the six Missouri River reservoirs to guard against a repeat of this year’s major flooding along the river. Corps official Jody Farhat says the agency should reach its goal later this month of 56.9 million acre feet of flood storage in the reservoirs. South Dakota Climatologist Dennis Todey tells the Argus Leader newspaper that there is “marginal to no snowpack” across the Plains. And December snow measurements in Montana’s mountains have been average to a bit below average in the drainage areas that feed the Missouri. Farhat says reservoirs are near the point whether they should be able to accommodate the projected runoff next spring.

Shelby County Jail evacuated after incendiary devices found

News

December 19th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

Residents in a one-block radius of the Shelby County Jail in Harlan were evacuated Sunday evening, after authorities discovered an incendiary device on a suspect being booked into the jail. The Sheriff’s Office reports the device was discovered as 42-year old Alan Heath, of Harlan, was being booked into the jail on a charge of 5th degree theft.

Officials say deputies removed the device and placed it in the driveway of the jail. An evacuation of the area was conducted by Harlan Police and Fire Department personnel, and the Iowa State Fire Marshal’s Office was called-in to evaluate the device. During a search of Heath’s backpack, a second incendiary device was found. The Fire Marshal Office determined both devices were safe enough to be transported out of the City to be examined and destroyed.

Authorities subsequently searched Heath’s residence at 402 Broadway Street, in Harlan, but did not find any other such devices. In addition to the theft charge, Heath now faces charges which include: Interference with Official Acts (Simple Misdemeanor); Felony Possession of an Offensive Weapon; and, 2 counts of Possession of an Explosive or Incendiary Device.

Heath was being held in the Shelby County Jail on $5,000 bond.

Nissan recalls 2 vehicles for engine stalling

News

December 19th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

DETROIT (AP) — Nissan Motor Co. is recalling nearly 34,000 Sentra compact cars because of a battery cable problem that could cause the engines to stall. Documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration say that a zinc coating on the cable bolts could be too thick. That can cause a voltage drop that can damage the engine control computer. The documents say the cars can stall while moving and it may not be possible to restart them, increasing the risk of a crash. The filings appeared on the NHTSA website over the weekend. The problem affects 2010 and 2011 Sentras equipped with MR-20 engines that were built from May 11, 2010 to May 22, 2010, and from July 8, 2010 to Oct. 25, 2010, according to the NHTSA documents. Nissan says it will replace the positive battery cables and covers free of charge starting on or before Jan. 23, 2012. Nissan also is recalling more than 28,000 Juke small crossover SUVs from the 2011 model year. A turbocharger boost sensor bracket can break free from an air inlet tube because of a defective weld, according to NHTSA. If that happens, the vehicles can stall while the engines are idling, raising the risk of a crash, the agency said.

The Jukes were built from April 9, 2010 through May 12, 2011. The company will check the brackets and replace them free of charge if necessary, according to the documents. The recall is expected to start around Jan. 9, 2012. Nissan spokesman Brian Brockman said that no crashes or injuries have happened because of either problem. Owners with questions can call Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
