Squirrel the culprit in Saturday power outage

A squirrel that interfered with electric power transmission in Seneca is blamed for the Saturday morning outage that temporarily took out service for about one-half of the customer base.  Bob Faires, utilities superintendent, displayed a photo of the casualty–a fried rodent.  The outage took out traffic lights at several intersections, including 123 and E-N 1st Street where the police hand-waved traffic thru.
