Atlantic Head Coach Kathy Hobson: “A birdie each for Baylee Newell and Hannah Alff – exciting for them!  Both birdies came on the par 3 #16 – tricky green to score on. Really pleased with how Hannah Alff bounced back from the Monday tournament and played the course tonight. Been waiting for her to score in the 40’s. As a team, we are having to take way to many penalty strokes. Our course management is costly to us.”

Struggled on 5 but finished with two birdies. Matt couldn’t get the putter going today. Good to see him stay at 40. Good to see Cyle stay in the 30s today.  Mason is continuing to get his score lower. Austin had some good holes and a few struggles. Needs to work on a few things yet. Nice to see Drey shoot better today. His score was close to counting today. Kuemper is a good team and had 4 back from last years state team. We had to shoot our best to win today. Good to see our guys shoot well to challenge them.  Next match is Thursday in Shenandoah.”

(UPDATE) BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a police chase that began in suburban Omaha and wound south through southwest Iowa ended with a crash and the arrests of William Stanfill III and Jacqueline Streich, both of Omaha.

Iowa State Patrol Sgt. Nathan Ludwig says an Iowa trooper intending to join the chase crashed his cruiser near Hamburg and was flown to an Omaha hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Ludwig identified him as Trooper Dillon Malone.

Iowa-Illinois bridge project taking longer than planned

News

April 25th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

SABULA, Iowa (AP) — Officials say work is taking longer than expected on a new bridge that helps connect eastern Iowa with northwestern Illinois. The bridge at Sabula will provide access to a larger U.S. Highway 52/Illinois 64 bridge over the Mississippi River to Savanna, Illinois. The old Sabula bridge was closed in March, forcing motorists into a 36-mile detour. The construction was scheduled to be finished in late May. Now the Iowa Transportation Department says the bridge won’t be open until at least July because of problems with sandy soil.
