GUN

Last night around 8:30, two men wearing ski masks robbed BJ’s Drug at 450 Stanley St. and held Barney Joseph at gun point.  The men left in a car parked in front of the store.  BJ’s Drug was runned by Joseph’s father until it came to the same diplima last night.  “Yes, Dad resisted, I guess.  Anyway, they found him shot to death, his own gun in his hand, and a bullet in the store’s ceiling. I’d rather part with my money than my life,” Joseph said.  This is probably why he did not reach for his pistol he keeps at the store when this happened last night.

Suffolk Downs

There was a fire this morning.  It happened at Suffolk Downs Race Track in Boston.  Just one day before racing season opens.  The fire happened in an one-story, wooden barn where 25 horses were stabled.  Fifteen of them, 13 thoroughbred and 2 saddle, did not make it while 10 escaped including 2 that had fire on their backs.  Dan Bucci, assistant general manager, said, “It could have been of an incediary nature beacuse it started in the middle of the barn, not at the end.  The only heaters and electrical outlets were in the tack rooms at the ends of the barns.”  However, arson is suspected as the cause because Jim Connery, fire chief, said, “The fire exploded near the center of the barn.  Flames were shooting out of the building when we got here.  The fire is definately suspicious.”  An arson squad had been called to the scene.  The fire smoldered until noon today.  A jockey, Albert Ramos, Miami, Florida, said while pointing to the surviving horses, “That’s my best friends.  I love those horses more than I do people.  I feel like I want to cry.”

The Woodbury County Sheriff’s Office has released the name of a local man.  The deceased is Moyer Quick, 65, of South Sioux City.  He was killed in a collision of two cars two miles east of Sioux City on Highway 20 when the vechicle he was driving collided with  a truck driven by Randy Radin, 17, of Sioux City at 11am yesterday morning.  Three people were transported by ambulance to Marian Health Center.  The injured included two passengers in the Quick vehicle: his wife, Dorothy Quick, 61, of South Sioux City, NE, and Maxine Steuerwald, 43, of Lawton, IA.  Dorothy is in “good” condition, Maxine is in “fair” condition, and Radin is listed as “critical”. Iowa Highway Patrolman Patric Stewart said, “Both vehicles were proceeding west on the two-lane highway.  Quick passed the Radin vehicle but his rear-end struck Radin as he completed the pass.  The impact sent both vehicles into the ditch on the north side of the road.  Quick’s vehicle rolled once.”  The accident is still under investigation.  The road was clear and dry.

1) Firefighters were called to 102 11th Ave.  A cat was stuck up in a 15ft tree.  One firefighter ended up with a broken leg at St. Lukes Hospital.  He is “just doing fine”.

2) False alarms were sounded at East High School last Wednesday.  A food fight broke out and shut the cafeteria Tuesday. Overall, ten upperclassmen have been suspended in result of these events.

3) An overturned Texaco gasoline truck has spilled creating sewer and gas liquids to mix above and below ground for 2 square blocks.  It happened at 48th and Correctioville Rd.  Four families have been evaculated.

This Reverend guy should just leave people alone. Atleast make up your mind instead of changing it again. He even got a call from the Secretary of Defense advising against it.
