Lewis/Griswold Fire Depts. called to residential fire Sat. morning

News

February 4th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

Crews with the Lewis Fire Department and Griswold Fire/Rescue, were called to a report of smoke inside the home southeast of Lewis at 64848 600th Street early this (Saturday) morning. The call came in at around 1:45-a.m. from the Danny Kirchhoff residence. The caller indicated smoke was visible, but they did not see any flames. Medivac Ambulance was also dispatched. Heavier smoke was observed when authorities arrived on the scene.

According to Cass County Emergency Management Coordinator Mike Kennon, authorities determined the hot water on-demand system was to blame for the smoke. The home was ventilated and residents were back inside by around 2:40-a.m., which was at about the same time all emergency units were leaving the scene to return to their stations.

St. Louis bans smokeless tobacco at Busch, other venues

Sports

February 4th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Baseball players with big wads of chewing tobacco in their cheek are now a thing of the past at Busch Stadium. The St. Louis Board of Aldermen voted Friday to prohibit the use of smokeless tobacco products like chewing tobacco, dip and snuff at all sports venues, including Cardinals games at Busch Stadium. The measure provides no exemption for players or anyone else on the field or in the dugouts.

The bill’s sponsor, Alderwoman Dionne Flowers, says it sends a message that tobacco shouldn’t be associated with sports. Busch Stadium becomes the 14th Major League Baseball venue where smokeless tobacco is banned. Last month, the city council in St. Petersburg, Florida, banned smokeless tobacco products at all organized sporting events, including Tampa Bay Rays games.
