(Beebeetown, Iowa) – An adult male and a juvenile were injured during a head-on collision Friday evening, in Harrison County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2010 Hyundai Tucson (SUV) driven by a 16-year-old from Logan, was southbound on Overton Avenue at around 5:35-p.m., when the vehicle crossed the center line while rounding a curve north of York Road.
The SUV struck a northbound 2009 Toyota Tundra pickup, driven by 43-year-old Jason King, of Woodbine. Following the head-on crash, the SUV came to rest on its top in the east ditch. The pickup came to rest on the road, facing northeast.
The unidentified driver of the SUV – who was wearing a seat belt – was transported by LifeNet helicopter to Bergan Mercy Hospital. Jason King – who was not wearing a seat belt -was transported by Missouri Valley/Logan Rescue to the hospital in Missouri Valley.
Deputies with the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene.
(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the murder conviction of a Tipton woman in a cold case investigation.
Fifty-nine-year-old Annette Cahill was found guilty of second-degree murder in 2019 in the 1992 death of 22-year-old Corey Wieneke — who was found beaten to death with a bat in the bedroom of his home near West Liberty.
Cahill was one of several women Wieneke had a relationship with. She was arrested in 2018 after a woman came forward and said she heard Cahill make comments about the killing a few weeks after it happened. Cahill appealed, saying the 26-year delay in her prosecution violated her right to due process, and an inconclusive report on hair found in Wienke’s hand should have been revealed at trial.
The Iowa Supreme Court ruled there was ample evidence to convict Cahill despite the delay in prosecution, and says the report would not have changed the outcome.
(Treynor, Iowa) – Four Corners Community Foundation (4CCF), formerly TS Community Foundation, recently held a ribbon cutting announcing their new name. Founded in 1999, Four Corners Community Foundation is designed to create impact in rural southwest Iowa through charitable giving and community projects. In 2019, 4CCF became an affiliate of Pottawattamie County Community Foundation, and as partners, continue to spur growth and prosperity in southwest Iowa.
The new name — Four Corners Community Foundation — represents the heart of rural Iowa towns. Often times the four corners or town square can serve as a main meeting place where community impact starts, a place of great ideas with community-minded people. 4CCF Board President Kelsey Stupfell says “At Four Corners Community Foundation we are excited for this new chapter and look forward to helping create impact for generations to come. We are a community of giving people.”

“It is our desire to help people achieve more with their donations and connect them to resources,” she added. “Our new name, Four Corners Community Foundation, reflects our foundational mission to help maximize local philanthropy, support community projects, and connect more giving to individuals and organizations.”
As an affiliate of Pottawattamie County Community Foundation — an accredited community foundation — donors could be eligible for additional tax incentives such as the Endow Iowa Tax Credit, a program administered by the Iowa Economic Development Authority and is open to individuals, businesses and financial institutions.
In two decades, 4CCF has helped the Treynor Optimist Club build a playground in the eastern city park, helped city organizers create the Veterans Memorial area including a show-stopping helicopter, as well as jumpstarted the Vision Treynor Group, which is working to bring new ball fields and a gathering place in town, among other projects.
Most recently, funds were created with the newly formed Treynor Parks and Trails Commission, a collaboration between the Treynor Splash Pad, Tristan’s Trails and Dexter’s Dream as well as with the Lamar Hartje Legion Post 725 to help more local southwest Iowa students attend Boys and Girls State.
Pott. County Community Foundation President and CEO Donna Dostal says “This is an exciting time for the Four Corners Community Foundation and we are truly honored to help share this news. Together, our collective work to amplify the strong culture of philanthropy in our region will continue to create lasting positive impact and a legacy of giving. We look forward to supporting Four Corners Community Foundation’s efforts in continuing to make our communities strong.”
A special thanks to Pottawattamie County Community Foundation, City of Treynor, Western Iowa Development Association, J’s Coffee & Donuts and local community members at the recent Four Corner Community Foundation ribbon cutting held in Treynor. Sustainable growth, positive impact, and generational transformation are important in every community.
