New I-Cubs ownership announced

Sports

December 8th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Des Moines, Iowa via MiLB.com)— Iowa Cubs General Manager/President Sam Bernabe today (Wednesday), announced the Iowa Cubs have entered into an agreement to become a part of Diamond Baseball Holdings (DBH), an organization dedicated to supporting, promoting, and enhancing the sport of baseball through professional management, best practices, innovation and investment. DBH is a subsidiary of Endeavor, the global sports and entertainment company. Following the closing of the transaction, the Iowa Cubs will continue to be led by Bernabe, and remain an MLB affiliate of the Chicago Cubs.

“My partners and I wish the new owners well, and we’re particularly pleased that Sam Bernabe will remain as president and general manager of the team,” said Michael Gartner, who has been chairman and principal owner of the Iowa Cubs for the past 22 seasons. “We hope Sam and his new colleagues have as much fun running the team as we have had.”

As part of DBH, Bernabe will work closely with Diamond Baseball Holdings’ leadership, Pat Battle and Peter B. Freund, to realize the club’s ambitions. Battle is Executive Chairman of DBH, bringing extensive experience at the local and national level, as well as ownership interest in two PDL teams. He is currently Chairman of the Board of Learfield and serves as an advisor to Endeavor across multiple companies. Freund is CEO of DBH, also bringing to the plate experience as a longtime Minor League Baseball owner and operator. Freund most recently consulted with the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball on the transition of Major League Baseball’s licensed affiliates while spearheading the formation of the MLB Draft League.

“Diamond Baseball Holdings will be global in our ambitions and hyper-local in our approach, and creating incredible fan experiences will remain our number one priority,” said Battle and Freund. “Additionally, we look forward to providing opportunities for growth to the employees of PDL Clubs whose passion and ingenuity have built the sport through the decades.”

Diamond Baseball Holdings was formed by Endeavor, the global sports and entertainment company. DBH will support Iowa with ticket sales, partnerships, naming rights, food & beverage, merchandise, content strategy, collectibles/authentics/NFTs and media rights, tapping into the broader Endeavor network for expertise across the various disciplines.

News

December 8th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Melcher-Dallas, Iowa) – Two teens died as the result of a single-vehicle rollover accident Tuesday night, in south central Iowa’s Marion County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 1994 Ford Taurus driven by 16-year-old Grace M. Deheer, was traveling north on 80th Avenue, northeast of Melcher-Dallas, at around 8:54-p.m.  When the vehicle crested a hill, it began to travel toward the west ditch. The car entered the ditch and rolled over. Deheer and her passenger, 16-year-old Angelina L. Clark, were ejected. The car came to rest on its top in the roadway.

Both girls, who were from Melcher, died at the scene.

(Red Oak) One person suffered possible/unknown injuries during a two-vehicle accident in Red Oak, Tuesday afternoon. According to Red Oak Police, the accident happened around 3:33 p.m. at 4th and Oak Streets, as a 1999 Dodge Dakota pickup driven by Jordan Midkiff, of Red Oak, tried to turn left onto Oak Street. Because the sun was glaring in his eyes as he pulled into the intersection, Midkiff didn’t see a 2007 Ford 500 L 4D driven by Jennifer Begay, of Red Oak. Begay was traveling east on Oak Street and turning left onto 4th.

Police say Begay was trapped inside her car, with the passenger airbag deployed. She was extricated by Red Oak firefighters before being transported by Red Oak Rescue to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital to be checked-out.

Midkiff wasn’t injured. Police cited him for a registration violation, failure to obey a stop sign, failure to yield the right of way, and failure to provide proof of financial liability.

Red Oak Fire and Rescue, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Montgomery County Emergency Management, and the Montgomery County Communications Center assisted the Red Oak Police Department.

Job fair planned for T-P-I composite employees

News

December 8th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Workforce Development is hosting a job fair in Newton on Thursday and Friday for the more than 700 employees of T-P-I Composites who will be out of work at the end of this year. Spokesperson, Lacie Westendorf, says the 130 employers looking to hire are coming to Newton from all over the state. “All the way out from Dubuque, over up to Clear Lake, Waterloo, Ankeny, so some of the positions can even be done remotely, can be done anywhere around the state. So some of these businesses have locations anywhere, so they have openings everywhere,” Westendorf says.

So many employers are looking for workers that IowaWORKS is dividing the job fair into three sections. The first session will be Thursday morning from 7:00 until Noon, Thursday afternoon from 1:00 to 6:00, and Friday morning from 7:00 to noon. She says it will all be organized so you know where to go. “When people get to the job fair, we will actually have a booklet for them that will show which employers will be there at the different times,” Westendorf days.”They can also find that information out by going to our iowaworks.gov website.”

Anyone looking for a job may attend this job fair — not just employees of T-P-I Composites. The blade manufacturer announced earlier this year it was shutting down production.
