Drake seeking 5th straight win at Southern Illinois tonight

Sports

January 18th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

The Drake Bulldogs will be in search of their fourth straight win, tonight, when they visit Southern Illinois in Missouri Valley Conference play. The Bulldogs are 4-3 in the league race and Coach Mark Phelps says they will face a tough challenge against a Saluki team that has gotten healthier and better. Junior Ben Simons was a big factor in Drake’s win streak. He averaged better than 19 and a half points in the three wins and was named the MVC player of the week. Phelps says the Bulldogs have made more of a commitment on the defensive end and it is showing up on the scoreboard. Southern Illinois coach Chris Lowery says Simons and Rayvonte Rice are a difficult combination to guard.

Sheriff’s officials in Mills County say a man wanted in Nebraska was arrested at Noon on Monday. 23-year old Justin Lee Chamley, of Omaha, was taken into custody at the Mills County Sheriff’s Office, for being a Fugitive From Justice.  He was being held without bond at the Jail in Glenwood. The warrant stems from his arrest on a charge of Receiving Stolen items with a value of more than $1,500. Chamley was arrested in mid-Sept., 2011, in connection with the break-in’s of numerous vehicles in La Vista, NE, and the theft of items from those vehicles, as well as attempted burglaries of sheds and/or garages in the La Vista area. And, late last month, Chamley was arrested on a warrant for conspiracy, on-going criminal conduct, 3rd degree burglary and two counts of 2nd degree burglary.

The Mills County Sheriff’s Office reports also, the arrest last Friday, of 36-year old Amy Kathleen Reeves, of Malvern, on a charge of Failure to Appear on an original charge of Theft in the 5th degree. Her bond was set at $100. And, 21-year old Charles Lucas Wendt, of Pacific Junction, was arrested Friday for violating the terms of his probation. Wendt was being held in the Mills County Jail on $1,000 bond.

 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack is expected to announce that 33 states and Puerto Rico will receive a share of more than $300 million in emergency funds to help them recover from an unusually intense year of natural disasters.  Missouri and Utah will receive more than one-third of that total after record flooding in both states. Missouri suffered through months of flooding after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released unprecedented amounts of water from northern Missouri River basin reservoirs, while Utah saw record snow melt that caused heavy flooding.  Of the $308 million in aid to be announced Wednesday, roughly $109 million goes to the two states.  Vilsack noted that 2011 was unusual because almost every part of the country was hit by some type of disaster.
