Atlantic Highlights…
1st – ReAnn Cappel started the game with a single.  Tiara Edelman moved
her to third with a single then stole second base.  Paige Kennon reached
on a FC scoring Cappel.  Edelman was thrown out trying to advance to
third.  Alisha Hinzmann doubled scoring Kennon.  Liz Metheny singled
scoring Hinzmann.

Comments by Coach Hinzmann…
“Obviously the fifth inning killed us.  They had six hits in that inning,
but in reality two of those hits we gave them with a mental mistake and
not covering a base then lacked aggressiveness in the outfield and allowed
a ball to drop!  We also had our lone error in that inning.  If we ever
hope to complete with the top teams in the conference then we have to stop
making those kinds of mistakes which prolong big innings. Until we become
a more consistent and more mature players those types of inning are going
to continue to happen and we will continue to battle to stay out of last
place in the Hawkeye Ten.”

“On the positive side, we got 10 hits off Schaben, who if she is not the
best pitcher in the conference then she defiantly is one of the best
pitchers in the conference.  With the exception of one hitter, we had only
a single strike out and managed to put runners on base every inning.  I
thought Liz did a great job against a very good hitting team.  She hit her
spots very well and the only really big mistake she made in the circle was
the home run to (Brooke) Schaben.

The Atlantic Board of Education will meet the new Atlantic Middle School Principal tonight, during a scheduled work session at the high school. Cameron Smith was hired by the board April 12th. Smith comes to Atlantic from the Garner-Hayfield School District, where he served as the K-through 8th Grade Principal and Athletic Director.

Cam will succeed AMS Principal Todd Roecker, who had earlier announced he would be retiring from the district at the end of this month (June).

In other business, the Atlantic School Board will move into a closed session for an annual evaluation of the Superintendent. Their work session begins at 7:30-p.m. in the Atlantic High School Media Center.

Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce Announces New 12@12 Program

News

June 28th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

Officials with the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce say Chamber members will be visited this week by members of the Chamber’s staff and board of directors, to encourage members to “Get the Scoop” about the Chamber at a new program called 12@12.

Megan Roberts, Membership and Special Projects Coordinator for the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce, says they invite all members of the Atlantic Chamber to come to the office at the historic Rock Island Depot, have a free lunch, and talk with Chamber staffers about what the Chamber does for its members, and what they’re working on.

The 12@12 sessions include a free lunch to 12 members at 12 noon, and multiple dates and times will be offered during the late summer and early fall. Several early morning breakfast options will be given to members as well.

The 12@12 lunches also provide time for the Chamber staff to listen to their members. Roberts says — quote — “We want to hear what their challenges are and what they need from us. We can prepare educational sessions, do research, and help our members find solutions, but often the first challenge we face is just finding the time to communicate with each other, and that’s what 12@12 is about.”

Local businesses will be given an invitation to sign up for the sessions along with an ice cream scoop, a small gift of appreciation from the organization. The staff and board members will start delivering scoops today and continue over the next two days.
