The Atlantic Police Department has released additional details about a three-vehicle accident which occurred during Thursday morning’s snow storm. Officials say Dicey Trotter, of Atlantic, was injured during the crash that occurred at the intersection of 7th and Cherry Streets. She was transported by Medivac ambulance to the Cass County Memorial Hospital, for treatment.

The P-D says Trotter’s vehicle was traveling north on Cherry Street at around 10:37-a.m., and due to the icy road conditions, was unable to stop at the posted stop sign. Her vehicle slid through the stop sign and was hit on the left side by a vehicle traveling east on 7th Street. That vehicle was driven by Sandra Hayes, of Atlantic.

The impact of the collision caused Hayes’ vehicle to be pushed into the left side of a vehicle headed west on 7th Street, and driven by Larry Reimer, of Atlantic. Damage from the crash amounted to $25,000. Trotter was cited for Failure to stop within an assured, clear distance.

Eagle found in Harrison County was shot

Ag/Outdoor, News

February 21st, 2014 by Ric Hanson

Officials with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources are investigating the shooting of a Golden Eagle northwest of Woodbine, in Harrison County. The DNR isn’t sure whether the federally protected bird was shot in western Iowa or eastern Nebraska, and are uncertain when the incident happened, but it’s believed the eagle was shot sometime Tuesday or early Wednesday. Authorities think an organized group of people are targeting the birds in an attempt to put them on the black market.

Any Harrison County resident with information regarding the eagle shooting, is encouraged to call the Turn in Poachers Hotline at 800-532-2020, or on the web, log-on to Iowadnr.gov/tip. You may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.

Iowa to receive $3 million for education grant

News

February 21st, 2014 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa is getting $3 million from the U.S. Department of Education to help turn around low-achieving schools. U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, chairman of the appropriations subcommittee that provides funding for the School Improvement Grants program, says improvement in the quality of education centers around focusing resources on schools with the greatest need. Iowa was one of nine states selected for the funding announced Thursday. Nine states received more than $71 million.

The grants are awarded to state educational agencies and they in turn make competitive grants to school districts that demonstrate the greatest need for the funds and the strongest commitment to provide adequate resources to substantially raise student achievement in their lowest-performing schools.
