Game one started as a pitching duel as both teams struggled to get base hits. 3 of Clarinda’s four runs came off of errors and Atlantic’s only 3 runs were from errors and wild pitches. Every inning the Cardinals scored, Atlantic would go on to tie until the top of the 7th. When Creighton Tuzzio had an RBI single with two outs to bring in the go ahead run. In the bottom of the seventh Tuzzio was put on the mound and he retired the side with three straight strikeouts to get the win.

In game two the Clarinda got a nice pitching performance by Sophomore starting pitching Jordan Butt who pitched all seven innings while striking out 15 Trojan batters to secure the win for the Cardinals.

Trojans coach Nathan Block talked about their 4-3 loss in game one.

A $3.5 million settlement for family of ISU rower who died in 2021

News

May 29th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) -The Ames Tribune reports court documents show Iowa’s attorney general is recommending that Iowa State University and the State of Iowa pay a three-and-a-half MILLION dollar settlement to the family of an I-S-U sophomore who died in a rowing accident. Two members of the Iowa State Crew Club died three years ago when their boat capsized during windy conditions on Little Wall Lake, which is about 18 miles north of Ames.

The parents of Yaakov Ben-David filed a wrongful death lawsuit and the proposed settlement must be approved by a three-member state panel. I-S-U freshman Derek Nanni was the other student who drowned in March of 2021 and the state paid a two MILLION dollar settlement to his parents two years ago.

Sinkhole in Council Bluffs forces apartment building evacuation

News

May 29th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa [KETV] – A hidden sinkhole has force residents of an apartment building in Council  Bluffs to evacuate the premises. Some action has been taken by the city, but very little is known about the sinkhole just yet. City officials said one building at the Parkwild apartment complex has been posted, meaning there’s a notice to take action, and so far eight apartments have been fully evacuated and all utilities in the building have been shut down, but it’s something no resident ever expected to hear.

The city of Council Bluffs said they were first notified about a potential issue late Friday. On Tuesday morning crews found the sinkhole and immediately tagged the building. Officials said it’s unclear just how large the hole is, but from what they could see initially, it could be close to the size of two cars. The city said the sinkhole appears to run along the exterior of the building and underneath a portion of the ground level.

Residents weren’t testing their luck; however, some even used windows to evacuate. The city of Council Bluffs said that after their initial search of the property on Tuesday, no other buildings at the Parkwild apartment complex are currently in danger.

Vigil held in Greenfield one-week after a deadly tornado swept through town

News

May 29th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

GREENFIELD, Iowa [KCCI] –  People gathered on the lawn in front of the Adair County Courthouse Tuesday night for a vigil one week after a deadly EF-4 tornado swept through Greenfield.

The event was organized by Greenfield Chamber Main Street and the Greater Greenfield Community Foundation. Community and faith leaders came together to lead the crowd in prayer. It was an opportunity for people to escape the chaos of cleanup and destruction seen around town.

A minute of silence was held to represent the minute that it took for the tornado to go through the city. In those 60 seconds, four people were killed, more than 35 people were injured, and many homes were destroyed. Pastor Steven Broers of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Fontanelle read the names of the three men and a woman who were killed in Greenfield and a woman who was killed in Adams County out loud, during a prayer.

People held glow sticks to symbolize the light they continue to shine in the darkness and the strength they have. The Greater Greenfield Community Foundation said it has raised $380,000 from its tornado relief fund so far. The organization thanked everyone who donated time, money and resources in the days following the storm.
