Well, if you're not busy today and you are in the Gering area around 11th and P Streets, if you want to make $100, go out and find that missing iguana! That's right, we have a missing iguana right now. Goncho's owners are offering a $100 reward if you can safely return him. Contact us if you know anything or have found a missing iguana in Gering. Both Scottsbluff and Gering have road closures to tell you about. Check those on our Panhandle Scanner Facebook page. Two different addresses are listed, one in Scottsbluff and one in Gering. Last night, there was a strange call at Webber's Furniture. It was just Tom Bodett. He had left the light on. No, actually, an employee called back and let us know. It was accidental. There was no reason for alarm. A two-vehicle accident happened yesterday around 24th Street and Avenue I in Scottsbluff. No injuries were reported and patients refused transport to the hospital. Meanwhile, out at Western Nebraska Regional Airport, the military was doing some C-130 training with a maneuver called Touch and Go's. C-130s are the large military planes that carry army personnel. So don't be alarmed if you see some large planes in the air from time to time.
