King says Carolina trip not indicating he’s running for president in 2016

News

August 11th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

Republican Congressman Steve King says he hadn’t anticipated his upcoming trip to South Carolina might spur some to suggest he’s considering a run for president. He said “I hadn’t really thought about what would happen if I set foot in a place like South Carolina, but that’s been an invitation that’s been long-standing for some time.” South Carolina’s “First in the South” Primary is a key opening event in the presidential selection process, but King says he’s not “seriously” considering a run for president in 2016.

In late August King will speak at the “Charleston Meeting” — a private gathering of some of the country’s most influential conservatives. King joked that his role as chairman of the Conservative Opportunity Society in the U.S. House has taught him a valuable lesson that may ease his entry into South Carolina politics: he’s learned to eat grits. King says he made “a lot of good friends” in South Carolina when he was there for a presidential candidate forum in 2011.

He also plans to speak to the 25-hundred cadets at The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina during his visit to the state August .

August 11th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Pinch-hitter Dioner Navarro hit a run-scoring double in the eighth inning to cap a three-run rally and the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 Saturday night to win a series in St. Louis for the first time in nearly three years. Matt Holliday homered for twice St. Louis, which lost its fourth in a row. Chicago won for the third time in four games.

The Cubs trailed 4-2 entering the eighth, but tied it 4-4 on Darwin Barney’s two-out, two-run double by off reliever Trevor Rosenthal (1-3). Navarro followed with his fifth pinch-hit RBI of the season to give Chicago a 5-4 lead. Blake Parker (1-1) picked up the victory for the Cubs, who last won a series in St. Louis on Sept. 13-15, 2010.

Kevin Gregg picked up his 25th save in 29 opportunities despite giving up Holliday’s 15th homer of the season, a solo shot with one out in the ninth.

Tractor-trailer rollover on I-80 in Cass County *Updated*

News

August 10th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

*Updated with driver information and accident details*

Westbound traffic on Interstate 80 in Cass County was impeded this (Saturday) morning and early afternoon by a tractor-trailer rollover accident at the 68-mile marker (Between Anita and Wiota). The accident happened at around 11:20-a.m. The Iowa State Patrol says 47-year old Piotr Brzozowski of Carol Stream, IL was traveling westbound on I-80 when he became distracted while driving. The 2007 Volvo semi he was driving went off the road into the north ditch.

When Brzozowski overcorrected, he caused the semi to flip onto it’s right side. The rig slid on its side and came to rest blocking both lanes of westbound traffic. The road was blocked for roughly two hours. Brzozowski was wearing his seatbelt but was transported to Cass County Memorial Hospital by Medevac for unspecified injuries. He was cited for failure to maintain control.
