The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reported the arrest on Friday of two individuals in Red Oak on theft charges. 43-year-old Shelby Joann Olivares and 49-year-old Kevin Leon Simmons were arrested at their residence in the 100 block of East Maple Street in Red Oak on a charge of theft in the 5th degree. They reportedly stole property from another individual valued at $179 on Thursday, June 20th. Olivares and Simmons were taken to the Montgomery County Law Center and held on $300 cash bond.
The Iowa State Patrol says four people from Des Moines were injured after the vehicle they were in crashed and rolled over Friday night in Harrison County. Officials say a 2006 Toyota corolla driven by 24-year old Chappo Kabadom, of Des Moines, was traveling north on Interstate 29 about two-miles south of the Missouri Valley exit, when the car went out of control and hit a bridge before sliding sideways off the north shoulder of the road and rolling over. One person was ejected during the crash, which happened at around 11:55-p.m..
Kabadom, along with his passengers : 16-year old Banana J. Masso, 24-year old Assanai Worare, and 22-year old Andiriya Adum, all of Des Moines, were transported to the University of Nebraska Medical Center, with the 16-year old being flown to the facility by helicopter. Their injuries were described as non-life threatening. The accident remains under investigation, but was being complicated by a language barrier.
A large crowd participated in the 2013 Cass County Relay for Life Friday night (6/21) at the Atlantic High School Track. Individuals, teams, and corporate sponsors all helped make the fundraising effort the best year yet in raising funds to battle Cancer with the American Cancer Society. The fundraising total as of the end of the event Friday was at $78,880.59 with some donations still coming in.
The night began with a Survivor dinner in the Atlantic High School Commons catered by Hy-Vee. Survivors then kicked off the activities at the track by completing the first lap and being recognized for their fight against Cancer.
The night also contained a wide variety of entertainment, kids activities, an education tent, many raffles, some great food, special laps and the luminary ceremony in the evening.
A couple of other special efforts went on throughout the day Friday as well with a tractor ride that began from the Cass County Fairgrounds and a motorcycle ride that started at the Atlantic City Park. Both rides were very well attended and raised more funds for Relay. The tractor riders finished their day at the Atlantic Hy-Vee while the motorcycle ride made their final stop at the Relay for Life event to turn in their funds.
Another special moment toward the end of the event was a special memorial donation presentation from the McCunn family in honor of Don McCunn. Thier large donation helped push the fundraising total over the top of last year’s efforts.
The Cass County Relay for Life committee would like to thank everyone in Cass County for supporting the cause and making the event a great success.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter has been cleared to resume rehabbing from a lower back injury after the team got outside medical opinions about his comeback from nerve issues.
General manager John Mozeliak said the 38-year-old Carpenter played catch Friday and was scheduled for a light bullpen session Saturday. How the former NL Cy Young winner responds to that activity will determine a course of action.
Mozeliak said the back problem slowed Carpenter’s rehab from an injury that caused numbness and tingling on the right side of his body. He didn’t believe it was a major setback, although the team still is not counting on a contribution from Carpenter.
ST. LOUIS (AP) – Nelson Cruz snapped a ninth-inning tie with a two-run single through a drawn-in infield and the Texas Rangers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4 Friday night in the opener of a series between 2011 World Series opponents.
Derek Holland was strong at the end of a seven-inning stint after a shaky start, Neal Cotts (4-1) escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth when Jon Jay tapped out on a full-count pitch and Joe Nathan finished for his 23rd save in 24 chances. All of Cotts’ decisions have come this month.
Left fielder David Murphy robbed Carlos Beltran of an extra-base hit and saved a run with a running catch at the wall in left-center to end it.
