The accident remains under investigation.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The Martensdale-St. Marys High baseball
team in central Iowa has won its 76th straight game, a streak that
now ranks second-best in the nation.
The Blue Devils, which plays in Iowa’s smallest classification,
surpassed the 75-win streak put up by Homer, Mich. from 2004-05 by
beating Mounty Ayr 10-0 Tuesday night.
Martensdale-St. Marys competition for the nation’s longest-ever
winning streak still has its run alive, though.
The Des Moines Register reports that Portsmouth, N.H. has won
its last 83 games.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin is urging U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to approve crop disaster relief for western Iowa in the wake of flooding along the Missouri River. Harkin, a Democrat, made his plea in a letter to Vilsack, a former Iowa governor. Harkin says a secretarial disaster designation would provide money from USDA programs, emergency loans and Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments Program to help producers recover from loss of crops and damage to farmland, livestock facilities and buildings.
Harkin says designated counties would include: Fremont, Harrison, Mills, Monona, Pottawattamie, and Woodbury. Gov. Terry Branstad recently began the process to secure a disaster designation.
The Cass County K-9 unit was involved in the apprehension early this morning of two suspects in Pottawattamie County. Full details are currently not available, but according to Sheriff’s Deputy Kyle Quist, a vehicle pursuit ended with a crash in Pott County at 290th and York Road.
Two suspects ran from the vehicle and were located by the K-9 unit in a tree line east of where they wrecked the vehicle We’ll have more on this story when additional details are released.
