BLAIR, Neb. (AP) — The DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge will open for archery deer hunting this weekend. The season will begin Saturday and run through Jan. 18, 2012. The refuge says in a news release that hunters must be properly licensed and carry a permit from the refuge. Officials say the permit has a map of the areas open to bow hunting, which have changed because of this year’s flooding along the Missouri River. The refuge is located 25 miles north of Omaha on U.S. Highway 30 between Blair and Missouri Valley, Iowa.

     ST. LOUIS (AP) – Pinch-hitter Allen Craig singled in the go-ahead run off reliever Alexi Ogando in the sixth inning with a sinking line drive that dropped just in front of right fielder Nelson Cruz, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Texas Rangers 3-2 on Wednesday night in a chilly World Series opener.  On a night when all the runs were driven in with opposite-field hits to right, Lance Berkman put St. Louis ahead with a two-run single in the fourth against C.J. Wilson. Mike Napoli tied it in the fifth with a two-run homer off Chris Carpenter.  Carpenter got the win, allowing five hits in six innings, and Jason Motte got his fifth postseason save. Wilson walked a career-high six in 5 2-3 innings and took the loss.  Colby Lewis starts for the Rangers in Game 2 on Thursday night against Jaime Garcia.

Two local athletes ran well Saturday at the state middle school cross country championships.  More than 600 athletes took part in eight divisions in a meet held at Saydel High School which featured runners from all over Iowa.  Tiffany Williams finished 7th in the 3-A Girls 8th Grade Division with a time of 14:17.  8th Grader Ryan Hawkins was 8th in the Boys 3-A Division with a time of 12:55 over the two mile course.  Approximately 70 runners were in each race.  The two AMS students completed successful cross country seasons.  Both Williams and Hawkins were individual champions at the Atlantic Cross Country Invitational.
