Two Carter Lake Police officers rescued a seriously injured 74-year-old woman from a mobile home fire early this (Tuesday) morning. Carter Lake Police Chief Shawn Kannedy says when officers Ryan Gonsior and Ron Hansen arrived at the mobile home park on North Ninth Street at about 2:30-a.m., they heard a weak cry for help from a woman in one of the units.

As smoke poured out of the structure, the officers quickly forced their way inside, where they found the unidentified woman on the floor behind the door. Seeing only her arm, they grabbed the woman, and pulled her to safety.

Carter Lake Fire and Rescue transported her to Creighton University Medical Center. She was later taken to the St. Elizabeth Regional Burn Center in Lincoln, NE.

Carter Lake and Crescent fire departments extinguished the blaze, which caused substantial damage to the home, and some surrounding sheds.

Six employees at five separate businesses received criminal citations for selling alcohol to minors, last week. Officials with the Southwest Iowa Narcotics Enforcement Task Force (SWINE) report the citations were issued as part of an undercover operation conducted at a total of eight businesses in Council Bluffs, on Friday, June 3rd.

Cited for selling alcohol to persons under the age of 21, was: Jenni Null, an employee of Sugars Lounge; Michaela Hotz, an employee of the German Beer Haus; Main Street Tavern employee Brenda Donaldson; Do Rock Inn employees Derek Rodwell and Shelly Biggs; and, J-&-B’s Lounge employee Matthew Way.

Those businesses which were in compliance, and whose employees refused the sale of alcohol to minors, were the Venue, Salty Dog Bar & Grill, and Goofy’s Corner, all in Council Bluffs.
