Lamberti arrested on suspicion of DUI in Iowa

News, Sports

May 19th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Former Republican Senate leader Jeff Lamberti has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. A police report cited by the Des Moines Register says the 49-year-old Lamberti, of Ankeny, was stopped on Interstate 235 in Des Moines about 10 p.m. Friday for weaving. Police say Lamberti told the officer he was texting and earlier had two beers — a number he later changed to four and then six. Police say the officer found a cup and near-empty bottle of whiskey in the car. Police say two tests showed Lamberti had a blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit. Lamberti told the newspaper he made a “stupid mistake” that will never happen again. Lamberti is president of the Iowa Barnstormers, part of the Arena Football League. He served in the Iowa Senate from 1995 to 2006 and ran unsuccessfully against U.S. Rep. Leonard Boswell in 2006..

May 19th, 2012 by admin

Caitlyn Stroud of Corning fought through injuries to win the 100 Meter Dash and the 200 Meter Dash State Titles in Class 1A Girls competition at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.  Stroud ran a time of 12.75 to win the 100 Meter dash then promptly went to the infield to put a boot back on her left foot.

Stroud followed up that gutty performance with another great run to win the 200 Meter Dash with a time of 22.16.  Immediately after winning the race Stroud went to her knees in obvious pain and holding the small of her back.  She walked off under her own power fine and appeared to be recovering well but it was a pretty gutty performance for Stroud in both races.

Griswold Tiger Rebekah Topham earn a second State Title on Saturday morning at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.  Topham won a tight race down the backstretch of the 800 Meter Run in Class 1A to edge out Jasmine Staebler of Clayton-Ridge.  Topham ran a time of 2:14.79 for the win, Staebler’s time was 2:14.91.

With the win Topham also helped the Tigers push closer to a team championship in 1A as they are in the top spot with 40 team points after that race.  The Tigers have the 1500 Meter Run with both Topham and Alyx Flippen running. The Tigers have a great shot at the title if Topham and Flippen run as well as expected in the 1500 Meter Run. West Hancock appears to be the biggest threat to catch Griswold and the have 26 points currently and three events left.

Cardinals Roster Moves

Sports

May 19th, 2012 by admin



The St. Louis Cardinals placed have outfielder Allen Craig on the 15-day disabled list on Friday because of a left hamstring strain, along with reliever Kyle McClellan due to an elbow strain.
 
The move with Craig is retroactive to May 17. He was hitting .373 in 13 games with 19 RBIs and five home runs – all of them during a seven-game stretch. He began the season on the DL with a sore right knee.
 
McClellan had a 5.30 ERA in 16 appearances, allowing 11 earned runs, 16 hits and nine walks in 18 2-3 innings.
 
 Outfielder Adron Chambers and right-hander Brandon Dickson were recalled from Triple-A Memphis before the opener of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.

Dodgers Beat Cardindals 6-5

Sports

May 19th, 2012 by admin

A.J. Ellis drew a bases-loaded walk in the ninth inning, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night in the opener of a series between the NL West and Central Division leaders.

Los Angeles’ Adam Kennedy had four hits against his former team and James Loney drove in two runs.

Cardinals first baseman Lance Berkman, 3 for 31 with 10 strikeouts against Dodgers left-hander Ted Lilly, was not in St. Louis’ starting lineup despite having led the NL with 22 road home runs last season. He came up with two outs in the ninth as a pinch-hitter for Shane Robinson and drove an 0-1 pitch from closer Kenley Jansen into the pavilion seats in right-center for his first homer in 41 at-bats this season – ending the longest season-opening drought of his 14-year career.
