The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest this (Saturday) afternoon of a woman on child endangerment charges. 22-year old Samantha Lynn Massa, of Grant, was taken into custody at around 1:15-p.m., on a valid warrant charging her with Felony Child Endangerment. Additional details on the circumstances surrounding the warrant are not available. Massa was brought to the Montgomery County Jail where she was being held on $5,000 cash bond.
ST. LOUIS (AP) – Jon Jay scored from first on right fielder Giancarlo Stanton’s throwing error on Shane Robinson’s single with two outs in the ninth inning, giving the St. Louis Cardinals a 5-4 victory over the Florida Marlins on Saturday. Edward Mujica (1-1) worked a scoreless ninth for the Cardinals after Matt Adams’ pinch-hit two-run homer tied it two innings earlier.
Jay drew a full-count walk off A.J. Ramos (3-3) with two outs in the ninth and had third easily on Robinson’s pinch-hit single, then scored without a play after Stanton hesitated before throwing a relay that skipped under Morrison’s glove at first base.
The Marlins got homers from Derek Dietrich and Logan Morrison but their run of four straight series wins ended after dropping the first two against the Cardinals.
ST. LOUIS (AP) – Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina was sent for medical tests for a knee injury and did not play Saturday against the Marlins. Manager Mike Matheny said the knee began bothering Molina on Friday night.
Molina has played in 81 of St. Louis’ 86 games and leads the National League with a .346 average and has six homers and 45 RBIs. Backup Tony Cruz made his eighth start of the season and first since June 26.
The City of Atlantic’s Board of Adjustment will hold public hearings Monday morning at City Hall, with regard to two separate variance applications. The first is for Joseph and Karen Riesberg, who wish to construct a storage shed at 423 Elm Street. The shed would not conform to the rear yard setback requirements under the zoning ordinance. The second hearing is for a request by Larry and Marlene Hummel to construct a three-car garage at 2803 Country Club Drive, that would not conform to the street-side yard setback requirements under City Code.
The Board will also welcome and introduce new member Doug Seemann, and accept nominations for, and act on electing, a Chairperson and Vice-Chair. The meeting begins at 7:30-a.m., Monday.
Three southwest Iowa residents were injured during a head-on crash on Highway 141 in Guthrie County early this (Saturday) morning. The Iowa State Patrol says both drivers, 18-year old Rylie Schlepp, of Guthrie Center, and 40-year old Keith Miner, of Creston, along with a passenger in Miner’s vehicle, 32-year old Anita Miner, of Creston, were injured in the crash that happened at around 3:45-a.m., about two-miles west of Bayard.
Officials say a 2007 Pontiac G6 driven by Schlepp was traveling east on Highway 141 when it crossed the center line of the road and collided head-on with a 1996 Ford F-250 pickup driven by Keith Miner. Keith and Anita Miner, who were not wearing their seat belts, were flown by Life Flight and Mercy One helicopters to Iowa Methodist and Mercy Hospitals in Des Moines. Schlepp, who was wearing a seat belt, was transported by Coon Rapids Rescue to the Guthrie County Hospital. There is no word on the condition of the injured.
The accident remains under investigation.
