The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is also asking for public’s assistance in locating a stolen ATV vehicle. Sometime between the early evening hours on Thursday and 8am Friday morning; a green yellow John Deere Gator 825j was stolen from a farm building site in the 23-hundred block of 230th street one mile west of Stanton.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department investigated a single vehicle rollover accident early Saturday morning at the intersection of James Street and Halland Avenue in Stanton at the railroad crossing. Upon arrival by deputies it was determined a 2007 Chrysler Sebring owned and operated by 20 year old Haley Lynn Lembrick of Shenandoah. Lembrick was traveling north on Halland Avenue when she attempted to turn onto the railroad right of way mistaking it for a roadway. Lembrick lost control of the car and struck the railroad tracks causing it to rollover and come to rest back on its wheels causing a property damage accident. Lembrick was uninjured and was cited for possession of alcohol under legal age. Damage to the car was estimated at 6-thousand dollars. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s office was assisted by the Stanton and Red Oak Fire Rescue.

Thought for Today: “Years ago my mother used to say to me, she’d say, ‘In this world, Elwood, you must be’ – she always called me Elwood – ‘In this world, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant.’ Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.” – “Elwood P. Dowd” from the play “Harvey” by Mary Chase (1906-1981).
(AP) – Iowa State University says it has suspended indefinitely senior women’s basketball guard Nikki Moody for violations of team rules.
Coach Bill Fennelly says in a statement Friday Moody’s “attitude in the team setting has become a distraction to our learning environment.”
He says the team has high behavioral standards and Moody’s “behavior has been inconsistent with those values.” He says she can return to the team activities if and when improvement is seen.
There was no further explanation of what type of behavior led to the suspension.
Moody, a communications studies major, started 30 games last season for the Cyclones, averaging 12.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.
