Iowa at Indiana Men’s Hoops Rescheduled

February 21st, 2014 by admin

ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — No. 15 Iowa and Indiana have settled on the makeup date for their game that was postponed this week after an 8-foot piece of metal fell from the ceiling at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind.

The teams will play Feb. 27 at Indiana in a game that will air on ESPN at 9 p.m. EST. The March 1 Purdue at Iowa game will now be played on March 2 at 2 p.m. ET.

Indiana postponed the Iowa game several hours before the scheduled tipoff Feb. 18 after the 8-foot long, 14-inch wide, 50-pound metal plate fell and damaged some empty seats in the northwest corner of the venerable arena. An inspection of the roof and ceiling found more places where melting snow and ice had loosened steel plates.

February 21st, 2014 by Ric Hanson

Events taking place Saturday in the Adair County community of Greenfield are designed to celebrate a family that has owned the Adair County Free Press newspaper for 125-years. The Omaha World-Herald reports the events coincide with the release of Iowa Public Television’s “The Sidey Report: Life and Times of an Iowa Icon,” which is about the Sidey family, owners of the Adair County Free Press. The family’s most famous member, Hugh Sidey, covered the White House for Time magazine. He died in 2005.

There are several events planned for Saturday, all at or near Greenfield’s historic downtown square. Getting underway at 3-p.m., is a display of Hugh Sidey’s work at the Greenfield Public Library, and a display of artifacts from the Adair County Free Press and prints from the Sidey Collection, at the Warren Cultural Center. At 3:30 p.m., IPTV’s documentary about the paper and its owners premieres at the Grand Theatre.

And, at around 6 p.m., the premiere party begins at the Hotel Greenfield. It also celebrates the release of “The Sidey Collection” coffee table book, which will be on display and available for purchase.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – A Missouri man is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of a Kansas City Chiefs fan in an Arrowhead Stadium parking lot. Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced the charge Friday against 23-year-old Joshua T. Bradley of Independence. He was arrested early Friday and is being held on $75,000 bond.

Atlantic P-D releases details on Thu. 3 vehicle accident

February 21st, 2014 by Ric Hanson

The Atlantic Police Department has released additional details about a three-vehicle accident which occurred during Thursday morning’s snow storm. Officials say Dicey Trotter, of Atlantic, was injured during the crash that occurred at the intersection of 7th and Cherry Streets. She was transported by Medivac ambulance to the Cass County Memorial Hospital, for treatment.

The P-D says Trotter’s vehicle was traveling north on Cherry Street at around 10:37-a.m., and due to the icy road conditions, was unable to stop at the posted stop sign. Her vehicle slid through the stop sign and was hit on the left side by a vehicle traveling east on 7th Street. That vehicle was driven by Sandra Hayes, of Atlantic.

The impact of the collision caused Hayes’ vehicle to be pushed into the left side of a vehicle headed west on 7th Street, and driven by Larry Reimer, of Atlantic. Damage from the crash amounted to $25,000. Trotter was cited for Failure to stop within an assured, clear distance.

Eagle found in Harrison County was shot

Ag/Outdoor, News

February 21st, 2014 by Ric Hanson

Officials with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources are investigating the shooting of a Golden Eagle northwest of Woodbine, in Harrison County. The DNR isn’t sure whether the federally protected bird was shot in western Iowa or eastern Nebraska, and are uncertain when the incident happened, but it’s believed the eagle was shot sometime Tuesday or early Wednesday. Authorities think an organized group of people are targeting the birds in an attempt to put them on the black market.

Any Harrison County resident with information regarding the eagle shooting, is encouraged to call the Turn in Poachers Hotline at 800-532-2020, or on the web, log-on to Iowadnr.gov/tip. You may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
