Cubs beat Cardinals in Extra Innings

Sports

April 12th, 2014 by admin

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Welington Castillo hit a three-run homer in the 11th inning off closer Trevor Rosenthal, who struck out with an unusual chance to win it, and the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-3 on Friday night.

The Cardinals had runners on first and second with two outs in the 10th when manager Mike Matheny decided against a pinch hitter. Rosenthal (0-1) took a called third strike in his second career at-bat.

Nate Schierholtz doubled for his fourth straight hit leading off the 11th and advanced on a sacrifice. Starlin Castro was intentionally walked and Ryan Kalish popped out on a bunt attempt before Castillo lined a 1-1 fastball 426 feet to left for his second homer.

Justin Grimm (1-0) walked Matt Holliday and Matt Adams on eight pitches to start the 10th but got out of it, partly because Matheny left Pete Kozma and Tony Cruz on the bench. Hector Rondon finished for his first career save.

State Fire Marshal Reminds of Outdoor Fire Safety

Ag/Outdoor, News, Weather

April 11th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

Warmer temperatures combined with strong winds and dry conditions lead to more brush and wild-land fires across the state. These types of fires can pose a serious threat to lives and property. The National Fire protection Association (NFPA) has reported over 59 million acres have been burned by wildfires in the past decade. While Iowa is not known to have large wildfires like those that regularly affect western states, our state is still prone to dangerous brush fires created by dry conditions, strong winds and low humidity.

To prevent the spread of brush fires and other debris, the Iowa Fire Marshal’s Office suggests keeping in mind:

Check for county burn bans, city restrictions and with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Air Quality before conducting any open burning; Never burn on dry and windy days; Have water and tools on hand to extinguish anything that may escape the burn area; Do NOT burn alone, always have another person with you; Do NOT leave a fire unattended; Call 911 immediately if a fire does get out of hand.

And, if you have questions about outdoor fire safety, contact the Iowa Department of Public Safety – State Fire Marshal Division at (515) 725-6145 or e-mail at fminfo@dps.state.ia.us.

Knapp’s body was found inside a burned out vehicle after the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from a person who discovered the car. Upon arriving at the scene, the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office discovered a body inside the vehicle. The Honda Accord had been borrowed from Knapp’s friend in central Iowa. The investigation was conducted by the Guthrie County Sheriff’s office, Division of Criminal Investigation and the Iowa State Fire Marshal’s office.

Knapp had been released from a federal prison near Duluth, Minn., on March 25th. He failed to report for an automatic check in with the U.S. Marshall’s office the next evening. The office had issued a warrant for parole violation after Knapp failed to check in. Knapp was the former owner and operator of the Equitable Building in downtown Des Moines. He’d been sentenced in 2011 to 41 months in federal prison for violating asbestos laws during his renovation of the building.
