Under rocks around campus, you will find little creepy crawlers scrambling into the wet dirt that they find a home. If you dig a little deeper, you will find squiggly worms and composed dirt that has been there since before the campus was built.

Beneath trees, you can find fallen crunchy leaves, walnuts hidden by sneaky squirrels, and an unfathomable number of creepy crawlers. You will see thick roots that are getting their first breath of real fresh air.

Under just about everything, there is something deeper that can be explored. Under the Christmas tree, under a vacant car, or under the luscious leaves of a berry bush. There’s always something more to discover, you just have to really look deep enough.

In Circuit Court, Ellie Maston is filing a lawsuit for negligence against Amburn’s Produce Market.

Maston claims an open can of green beans was left on the floor causing her to fall and break her hip. The incident happened on April 2, 2021.

The lawsuit declares, “Maston suffered permanent bodily and mental injuries, incurred medical expenses and lost income.”

The lawsuit is still under investigation.

Yesterday morning just outside of Sioux City on Highway 28, Moyer Quick was killed in a head-on collision. Three more were injured, two are stable and the other driver, Randy Radin is in critical condition currently.

Quick, age 65 of South Iowa City, was pronounced dead at the scene while the three other victims of the collision were transported to Sioux City General Hospital. Quick was survived by his wife, Dorothy, 61, who is in fair condition.

The South Iowa highway patrolman, Patric Stewart, said both vehicles were heading West. Quick attempted to pass Radin’s vehicle but struck the rear-end of the truck while completing the pass. Quick rolled his vehicle.

The weather conditions at the time were cloudy with a chance of rain, but the road was clear and dry. The accident is still under investigation.

Yesterday, the East Dakota highway patrol ordered a ban on hand-held radar guns due to the concerns of troopers developing cancer from long-term exposure to radiation.

There are seventy guns being withdrawn from the service. Although many of the radar units are being removed from the service, the highway patrol officers will have radar units mounted on the outside of their cruisers.

“The feeling here is to err on the side of caution until more is known about the issue,” Smith said.

In Central City, Iowa, three municipal officers had filed workman’s compensation claims, saying they developed cancer from using the hand-held units. With this supporting evidence, it may be able to aid the East Dakota highway patrol in their case.
