A collision between two motorcycles and a car Sunday afternoon in Taylor County, resulted in the motorcyclists being transported to hospitals in Des Moines and Mt. Ayr. The Iowa State Patrol says a 2013 Harley Davidson soft tail motorcycle driven by 38-year old Tammy Willett, of Afton, and a 2014 H-D FLHX motorcycle driven by 44-year old Michael Priest, of Shenandoah, were traveling west on Highway 2 at around 1:20-p.m., when a 2010 Buick Lucerne driven by 90-year old James Meek, Sr., of Afton, pulled away from a stop sign as he was headed north from Quail Avenue onto westbound Highway 2.
The cycles collided with the side of the car. Willett was transported by Mercy One helicopter to Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, while Priest was transported by ambulance to the Ringgold County Hospital in Mt. Ayr.
Deputies with the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office, personnel from Bedford Fire and Rescue, and Taylor County Ambulance assisted the State Patrol at the accident scene.
Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:20 a.m. CDT
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The board that oversees Iowa’s three public universities says its plan for a new two-year budget system will bring more predictability to tuition expenses for students and their families, but the unpredictability of available state funding could complicate that effort. The Iowa Board of Regents, which provides support to the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa, recently announced a plan to fund the budget years that end in 2018 and 2019.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A group in Council Bluffs hopes to convert a vacant warehouse into a center for arts and entertainment. Supporters are raising money for the project with the hope of completing it by the end of 2018.
MILAN, Iowa (AP) — Drive south of Milan on Ridgewood Road and you’ll see lots of new homes with nicely mowed lawns and tidy flower beds. You also might spot a small, older house set back from the road, nearly hidden by giant ragweeds. Welcome to Beacon Woods Farm, home of Gary and Chris Nordick, where they harvest vegetables, fruit and flowers. They also keep 15 bee hives for honey, chop firewood and raise chickens for meat as well as eggs. Yes, they butcher! It doesn’t get much more hands-on than that.
DUNKERTON, Iowa (AP) — Iowa woman who stole stamps and cash from U.S. Post Office where she worked has been sentenced to five years of probation. Prosecutors say the woman stole more than $2,700 of cash and stamps last year. The woman told investigators she took the money to help pay her bills.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A vacant western Iowa warehouse might be redeveloped into an arts and entertainment center in Council Bluffs. The Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil reports that supporters of the project are raising money now with hopes of opening the center in late 2018.
Judy Davis with the Pottawattamie Arts, Culture and Entertainment organization says the project seems to be on schedule. The plans call for converting the building into a space for traveling exhibits, rehearsal space for plays and classrooms and a theater and public gathering space. The project would complement the Harvester Lofts apartments nearby that are geared toward the artistic community.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Randal Grichuk and Kolten Wong homered, Carlos Martinez carried a shutout into the seventh inning and the St. Louis Cardinals snapped a three-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Yadier Molina had two of the Cardinals’ five hits as they avoided being swept in Cincinnati for the first time since July 2012.
St. Louis began the day with a one-game lead over the Mets for the final NL playoff spot. New York was set to host Washington later. Martinez (13-7) allowed three hits over six scoreless innings before the Reds reached him for three hits and two runs to knock him out of the game three batters into the seventh. He walked five and struck out six while improving to 8-1 in 13 road starts this season.
CINCINNATI (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals activated switch-hitting catcher Brayan Pena from the 60-day disabled list and promoted rookie catcher Carson Kelly from Triple-A Memphis. St. Louis designated Memphis infielder Dean Anna for assignment to make room for Kelly and transferred pitcher Seth Maness (right elbow) from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Left knee inflammation has limited the 34-year-old Pena to just four games this season. He batted a combined .286 (8-for-28) with one home run and eight RBIs in nine combined games with Single-A Palm Beach and the Gulf Coast League Cardinals during a recent injury rehabilitation assignment.
Kelly, the Cardinals second-round draft selection in 2012, will make his major league debut.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The board that oversees Iowa’s three public universities says its plan for a new two-year budget system will bring more predictability to tuition expenses for students and their families, but the unpredictability of available state funding could complicate that effort.
The Iowa Board of Regents, which provides support to the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa, announced recently a plan to fund the budget years ending in 2018 and 2019 with a combination of tuition increases and new state dollars. The board will continue to seek money for one year ahead.
It may become increasingly difficult to determine how much money the Iowa Legislature will allocate each year to higher education. Student representatives expressed frustration when the board voted in July to raise tuition.
