2 Vehicle Accident in Red Oak Friday Evening

News

May 3rd, 2014 by admin

The Red Oak Police Department reports a two vehicle accident in Red Oak at 5:32pm Friday.  The Red Oak Police Department and Red Oak Fire and Rescue responded to the report of an accident at the intersection of N 3rd Street and E Corning Street.

After investigation it was determined that a 1994 Ford Mustang driven by 16-year-old Kole Andrew Lovely of Creston slowed but did not stop traveling south at the intersection for a stop sign and proceeded into the intersection.  This put his vehicle directly in the eastbound path of a 2012 GMC Terrain driven by 85-year-old Harlan Henry Ebert of Red Oak.  Ebert attempted to avoid Lovely’s vehicle but was unable to and the vehicles collided with both vehicles coming to rest facing east.

Ebert and a female passenger were treated at the scene for minor injuries but refused transport to a medical facility.  Lovely and a passenger were examined at the scene and reported no injuries.  Both vehicles were towed from the scene due to $4,000 damage to the Lovely vehicle and $6,000 damage to the Ebert vehicle.  Lovely was cited for failure to obey a stop sign and no proof of insurance.

Cubs Top Cardinals Friday

Sports

May 3rd, 2014 by admin

CHICAGO (AP) – Anthony Rizzo hit a two-run single in the first that ended Adam Wainwright’s scoreless streak at 25 innings, and the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 Friday for their third win in four games.

Wainwright (5-2) had allowed six runs in 45 innings coming in, but the Cubs matched that in just five innings against the St. Louis ace, who gave up 10 hits. His ERA rose from 1.20 to 2.16.

The scoreless streak was one inning shy of the career high for Wainwright, who had not allowed an extra-base hit since April 12 against the Cubs in St. Louis.

Rizzo added a leadoff home run in the fifth that put Chicago ahead 6-3. Welington Castillo had three doubles for Chicago, which sent the skidding Cardinals to their 10th loss in 16 games.

NASCAR names first Nationwide race after Newton

Sports

May 2nd, 2014 by Ric Hanson

NASCAR bought the Iowa Speedway in November and they now are going to promote the track’s location by naming the first Nationwide Series race after Newton. The race on Sunday May 18th will be called the “Get to Know Newton 250” presented by Sherwin Williams. Iowa Speedway president, Jimmy Small, says NASCAR donated the title sponsorship to the host city. “The reason for this decision is that we want to invest back in this community, back into a state that has invested in us. We believe in this community, there’s a reason why we came out here. Since we’ve been out here we’ve seen unbelievable support and we want to make the investment back into the community. We want to grow this community,” Small says. “We know about the amenities that exist across this community. We want to make sure everyone knows out on a national scale about Newton, Iowa.”

Small says the title sponsorship is valued at six figures. “We had probably three to four other suitors for this position and we made the determination — being the selective group that we are — that this was our best investment, this was the best decision to be made for this inaugural Nationwide Series race at this speedway under NASCAR ownership,” Small says. Newton Mayor Mike Hanson says the city just kick off its new “Get to Know Newton” branding in February.

“Now we are able to take that message not only across the region — but across the country — and who knows, maybe across the world. So that we can tell folks what we all know — what a great community we have — and why they should be interested, and why they should get to know Newton,” Hanson says. The “Get to Know Newton 250” will be televised live on E-S-P-N. State lawmakers passed this session, and the governor signed into law, a deal to allow NASCAR to keep up to nine million dollars in sales tax rebates from the state. The tax breaks had previously required ownership by someone in the state.
