OXFORD– Clear Creek Amana’s (CCA) scoreboards are getting quite a workout these days. The board at the boys’ diamond in Tiffin sputtered and failed during a June 14 doubleheader against Waterloo Columbus that saw 27 runs go up in one game. Monday, June 18, the board in Oxford at the softball diamond wouldn’t even turn on.
Perhaps it knew the Clippers were going to fry its electronic mind with 42 runs over seven innings.

NORTH LIBERTY– Starting July 1, the City of North Liberty will have its own full-time attorney.
Scott Peterson, who has been serving as North Liberty’s legal counsel since August 2006, was brought on as a North Liberty staff member in June 2011 in a three-quarter time position with full-time benefits. At that time, City Administrator Ryan Heiar told the North Liberty City Council hiring Peterson as a staff member would reduce the city’s legal budget by about $59,000 per year from when Peterson was paid as a contractual employee.
