The Chairpersons for the Cass and Audubon County Community Foundations, both  countywide community foundations, have announced that the fall grant program is now beginning for non-profit organizations in the separate, respective counties.  The deadline to apply for funds through the online grant application process is September 1st.  In Cass County, $27,800 was allocated for the fall grant cycle. In Audubon County, $39,000 is available.

Of the Cass County funds, $2,500 is from the Griswold Community Development Endowed Fund, and $500 is from the Triumph Endowed Fund for Cass County. Of the funds available in Audubon County, approximately $2,000 comes from the Leon and Iva Milliman Endowed Fund for the Exira area, $2,500 is from the Charles T. and Kathleen K. Manatt Endowed Fund, $650 is from the Audubon State Bank/Stephen Garst Endowed Fund, $1,000 is for the City of Audubon from the Audubon Masonic Association Endowed Fund, $450 is for the City of Audubon from the Fred and Evelyn Nissen Endowed Fund for Audubon, and $450 is for the City of Audubon from the Merle and Norma Petersen Endowed Fund.

In both counties, Foundation grant dollars will be awarded for a single year. The mission of the Community Foundation grants and programs, is to participate in funding community betterment projects and nonprofit organizations who have similar objectives.  The goals are to improve the quality of life in the county by supporting needs that are not being met in the areas of civic, cultural, health, education and social service.  The objective is to fund projects that will have a permanent impact for the counties that people can take advantage of for many years.

Only organizations providing services in Cass County or Audubon County are eligible (in their respective counties, only).  They must be able to demonstrate broad community/county support and supply a copy of their 501(c)(3) IRS determination letter.  Requests for general operational funds will not be considered.  The mission is to provide funds to those nonprofit and governmental agencies that are involved in community betterment through their organizations.

Lind’s 3-run homer gives Mariners 4-3 win over Cardinals

Sports

June 25th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

SEATTLE (AP) – Adam Lind hit a game-winning three-run home run in the ninth inning off St. Louis closer Trevor Rosenthal, and the Seattle Mariners rallied for a 4-3 win over the Cardinals on Friday night to snap a six-game losing streak.

The Mariners opened the ninth with a double by Kyle Seager and a walk to Dae-Ho Lee. Lind reached down and drove a 1-1 pitch out to right field for his fourth career walk-off home run. It was the third home run allowed this season by Rosenthal (2-3) and his third blown save.

St. Louis had scored three times in the eighth inning without the help of a base hit. Seattle reliever Joaquin Benoit issued three walks and a hit batter and Kyle Seager’s error on Matt Holliday’s hard ground ball allowed two runs to score.

(Update 11:45-p.m.) 1 in custody in connection w/Massena incident

News

June 25th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

Cass County Sheriff’s Deputy Josh McLaren told KJAN News late Friday night, that one person was in custody at the Cass County Jail, charged with Domestic Abuse Assault, following an incident that took place a few hours earlier, in Massena.

McLaren said at around 8:02-p.m., Cass County Communications received a call from the Des Moines Police Department, with regard to a domestic situation in Massena. Shortly thereafter, the Comm Center received a 9-1-1 call from Massena. Dispatchers were able to ping the cell phone to determine a general area where the incident took place. McLaren and Deputy Ryan Johnson responded. Eventually, the residents were contacted.

An adult male and adult female came out of a residence. The female was distraught, and advised an altercation had taken place with her boyfriend. At that time, the boyfriend was inside the home, with a minor child. The deputies went inside the home and located the child and gave the child to its mother. They then repeatedly tried to make contact with the boyfriend, but were unable to do so.

The Communications Center advised deputies the subject might be armed, therefore the deputies left the home and requested assistance from other law enforcement officers. Deputies from Adair, Adams, Montgomery, Pottawattamie, and Shelby Counties, along with the Iowa State Patrol, all responded to the scene and set up a perimeter. MidWest MedAir was also notified and were enroute in case they were needed, but they were subsequently cancelled.

The male subject was seen by a family member going to an apartment in Massena, but a search revealed he was not there. He was later seen traveling on foot toward the Massena Sale Barn, and while the search efforts were concentrated at the area, a short time later, it was learned the subject was inside another residence occupied by a female. The deputies arrived and took the man into custody without incident a little after 10-p.m. He was unarmed.

A weapon was recovered after from the original residence once the scene was secured. The unidentified man was brought to the Cass County Jail. Additional charges are possible. Authorities utilized the Cass County Wireless Emergency Notification System (WENS) to notify residents in Massena of the situation.
