OBSERVATION: Pizza Transferred After Incident
Posted in: Cedar Rapids, Top Stories | Comments Off
This happened this afternoon (Jan. 28, 2010) at 16th Avenue and Edgewood Road SW in Cedar Rapids. We don’t have an official word on what happened here, but it appeared that a Pizza Hut driver’s vehicle was involved in some kind of incident.
It looked like the pizzas were moved from that vehicle to another vehicle and were on their way from there.

BEGGING PIC: Wife’s or Wives?

We assume that this person spotted at an intersection near Carver-Hawkeye Arena means that his “wife’s pregnant” or does he mean his “wives (are) pregnant”? Or maybe we just can’t see the apostrophe. Either way… here’s the pic – spotted on Jan. 26, 2010.

HOCKEY: Late goal propels RoughRiders to win
Posted in: RoughRiders, Sports | Comments Off
By Jeff Hare
A rebound goal by David Boehm with 52 seconds left in the game, helped carry the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders to a 3-2 win over Youngstown in USHL hockey Saturday night at the Stable. A crowd of 3,444 was on hand to witness Cedar Rapids come out on top of a game that featured strong defensive efforts throughout.

It was scoreless after the first period, and 1-1 after the second. In the third, Eric Robinson lit the lamp for the Riders at the 5:12 mark. Youngstown tied it up moments later, setting the stage for the exciting conclusion. A Bryce Aneloski shot caromed off Youngstown goalie Matt Mahalak, unto the stick of Boehm who lifted the puck into the net for the winner.
Rider coach Mark Carlson was pleased with the way his team played defense.
“After the first period, we put a little jump into our game. I was happy that we found a way to compete and take home a win.”
It was the second win in two nights for Cedar Rapids. The RoughRiders pounded Sioux Falls 10-1 on Friday night. Carlson was happy with the weekend performance.
“Good weekend up for us, great to pickup four points.” And what about winning one in a rout, and one close? “I was happy that we found a way to win both games this weekend,” said Carlson.
Cason Hohmann scored a goal, and assisted on another. “Cason played a great game,” said Carlson. “He is coming around and doing a nice job for us,” said Carlson.
The next home game will be February 6 against Tri-City. Cedar Rapids is now 22-15-2, with 46 points and second place in the East Division.
