A 53-year-old Clarinda man was killed in a plane crash in southwest Iowa’s Page County. Jac Crain, the owner of Crain Construction, left the Clarinda airport around 1:25 Sunday afternoon. The Clarinda 911 center got a call about a crash two miles southwest of Clarinda around 1:33 p.m. Upon arrival, officers determined that Crain was the only occupant of the crashed aircraft. Clarinda Airport Manager Milo Beery said the accident appears to have been a “stall-spin” mishap.
The FAA has been called to investigate and Beery says while it is too early to tell, he believes something other than pilot error will be ruled as the cause of the crash. Crain, who has been a licensed pilot for “15-20” years according to Beery, has owned the BD4 airplane for about 5 years now. However, Beery says the BD4 has only been in the Clarinda hangar for about the last six months.
Beery says the plane was considered to be an experimental aircraft because it was not factory built, but rather built by an aviation enthusiast.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State got a crucial 3-point bucket by Lauren Mansfield with 1:41 remaining, a hook shot from Chelsea Poppens at the 1:02 mark and hit 9-of-10 free throw attempts late to stave off Oklahoma and climb into the top half of the Big 12 standings with a 77-71 win. The victory, the Cyclones’ seventh in their last nine conference games, lifts them to 16-9 overall and 7-7 in the Big 12, good for fifth place. Oklahoma falls to 17-9 overall and 9-5 in the league.
Mansfield led Iowa State with a season-high 22 points, in part via six 3-pointers in eight attempts. Her last three were the biggest of the game. The Cyclone lead had shrunk to 61-60 with 2:27 to go. A pair of Nikki Moody free throws set the table for Mansfield’s hit from beyond the arc with just 1:41 to boost Iowa State back to a 66-60 lead. Oklahoma, which had five players in double figures led by Aaryn Ellenberg’s 19 points, never got closer as Iowa State free throws and Poppens’ basket maintained the cushion.
Anna Prins had 15 points and a team-high seven rebounds for Iowa State. Hallie Christofferson had 13 points and Poppens added 12 points and five rebounds in just 20 minutes of play because of foul trouble. Moody had nine points and a career-high 11 assists for the Cyclones.
The Cyclones led 43-28 at halftime and before Oklahoma chipped away at the Iowa State advantage. A Christofferson jumper with 17:36 to go in the game gave Iowa State a 17-point lead before the Sooners struck back.
Iowa State had the hotter hand in the first half, which offset the absence of Poppens, who only played eight first-half minutes because of foul trouble. The Cyclones hits on 8-of-15 3-pointers, built up a 17-point lead and finished the first half up 43-28. Iowa State finished with a season-high 11 3-pointers in 21 attempts.
Iowa State plays host to Missouri Tuesday at 7 p.m. CST in Hilton Coliseum.

An annual competition is under way to find Iowa’s best burger. Nominations are being accepted in the contest sponsored by the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association and the Iowa Beef Industry Council. Beef Council spokesperson Michelle Baumhover says although hamburgers are included on most restaurant menus, the top burgers usually feature a unique twist on the all-American classic. “That is the great thing about a burger – it’s just a blank palette and people can put on the toppings and different condiments that appeal to a wide variety of tastes,” Baumhover said. “We’ve had burgers with peanut butter on them or eggs on them…all kinds of really creative and unique burgers.” The winner of the 2011 Iowa’s Best Burger Contest was the Bacon Cheeseburger at the Rusty Duck in Dexter.
Best Burger 2011 - Rusty Duck/ Dexter, IA
The winner of the inaugural contest in 2010 was the Mushroom Swiss Burger at the Sac County Cattle Company in Sac City. One of the restaurants in the competition, is the Farmer’s Kitchen, in Atlantic.
There are only a few contest rules, including all entries must be burgers made from 100% beef. “Any burger, as long as it’s a patty, can qualify…and it can have any type of condiment or bun. It has to be an Iowa restaurant and it needs to be open at the time of the contest,” Baumhover said. Nominations will be accepted through March 16 and can be submitted through the Iowa Beef Industry Council’s website or Facebook page. Last year, 275 restaurants were named by roughly 35-hundred (3,500) nominations. Judges narrowed the list to a “top 10” and later selected the Rusty Duck as the winner. This year’s winner will be announced the first week of May to kickoff “Beef Month.”
