Funeral services set for man who died while ice fishing in Adair County

News

February 10th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

Funeral services will be held Wednesday in Stuart for a Guthrie County man who died while ice fishing over the weekend in Adair County. Sheriff’s officials in Adair County say 62-year old James Alan Wallace, of Menlo, died after falling through the ice while fishing on a private farm pond about six-miles southwest of Menlo.  Wallace’ family members had reported him missing to the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office after he failed to return home from ice fishing Friday afternoon.

Following  a search of the area where Wallace was believed to have been fishing, an Adair County Sheriff’s deputy located the man’s vehicle near a farm pond, and shortly thereafter saw Wallace’ body in the water. He was pulled from the pond by rescue personnel and pronounced dead at the scene, by the Adair County Medical Examiner. Deputies with the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office, officers with the Stuart Police Department Adair County Conservation officers, Menlo Fire and Rescue and the Adair County Ambulance all assisted in the search and recovery efforts.

Funeral services for James Wallace will be held 10:30-a.m. Wednesday, at the 1st Congregational Church in Stuart.

Freese gets $3.15M under 1-year deal with Cards

Sports

February 10th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Former World Series MVP David Freese will earn $3.15 million under his one-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals, nearly six times the $518,000 he made last year.   A St. Louis County native, Freese hit .283 with 20 home runs and 79 RBIs last season and earned his first All-Star appearance. He was eligible for arbitration for the first time.

Freese, MVP of the 2011 World Series win over Texas, had asked for $3.75 million and had been offered $2.4 million when players and teams exchanged arbitration figures last month.  Friday’s agreement made Freese the final player to settle among the three Cardinals who filed for arbitration.
