Sheriff’s officials said also, that at around 8:50-p.m. Monday, a car was traveling northbound on Davis Avenue passing by the Sheriff’s Office when it crashed into the back of a parked SUV. Disabling damage was done to the SUV, but the car did not stop.

Paint was left at the scene and it was determined the car is maroon/purple. Both headlights were functioning when the car drove off, so it will likely have extensive damage down the passenger side.

If you see a car with heavy front end damage on the passenger side, please call the Sheriff’s Office at 641-322-4444.

Iowa early News Headlines: Tuesday, 1/29/19

News

January 29th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:00 a.m. CST

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Republican-led Iowa House has voted to reject 29 absentee mail ballots cast in a northeast Iowa House district handing a Republican who won by nine votes the seat in the first contested election to go before the Legislature in 27 years. The ballots have been confirmed by a U.S. Postal Service scan of a barcode on the envelopes as having been sent to election officials on time but Republicans insist those barcodes can’t be used to validate ballots.

NEW LONDON, Iowa (AP) — A southeast Iowa school has turned a conference room into a food pantry for students and their families. The Hawk Eye reports that the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Bank of Iowa and local community groups helped launch the food pantry at New London School District in December. Families in the district with a student in kindergarten through 12th grade can use the food pantry, which is open on Thursdays. About 30 families have used the resource so far.

ROSSIE, Iowa (AP) — Authorities are investigating the fatal shooting of a man by another hunter in northwest Iowa. The Iowa Natural Resources Department said Monday that sheriff’s deputies responded to a shooting report around 11:15 a.m. Sunday. The shooting occurred about 4 miles west of Rossi in Clay County. The department says Granville resident Kirk Struve was struck by a bullet believed fired by another member of his party while hunting coyotes. The name of the other hunter hasn’t been released.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Police say the death of a man whose body was found in a western Iowa apartment was a homicide. Council Bluffs police identified the man in a news release Monday as Adam Angeroth. Angeroth’s body was found Thursday in Council Bluffs by officers sent to check on him.

January 28th, 2019 by admin

The Exira-EHK Spartans were able to make enough big plays down the stretch to edge out a win over CAM 58-55 on Monday night in Elk Horn. It was a close game throughout with the teams being tied at the end of the first at 13. The Cougars got a three from Madison Gettler at the first half buzzer to lead by 6 at the break and they would lead by 5 at the end of the third.

Exira-EHK opened up the final period with a three from Macy Emgarten and got another bucket the next possession to tie the game up at 45. The game would tie back up again at 50 before three more lead changes put the Spartans on top at the end. Sophomore Tatum Grubbs went to the line three straight trips as the Cougars tried to extend the game. She made one out of two free throws the first two trips. Then on the third with the Spartans up one she sank both to give Exira-EHK a three point lead with about 16 seconds left. The Cougars never got a good look at a shot on the final possession and the Spartans held on for the win.
