On June 26 at approximately 9:58 p.m., Cerro Gordo Sheriff’s Office responded to the 1000 block of 210th street in Ventura for an overturned semi.

Luis Valle, of Ankeny, Iowa was driving the 2017 Volvo tractor truck. The semi’s trailer was fully loaded with approximately 150 hogs.

Traveling south on Apple Avenue in Ventura, Valle turned the vehicle east onto 210th Street. During the turn, the trailer, full of hogs, left the roadway and overturned to its side into the ditch.

The Clear Lake girls came ready to play on Tuesday, June 20, when they hosted Garner-Hayfield-Ventura.  The Cardinals couldn’t match the Lion intensity as they fell, 11-1.

Clear Lake got on the board in the first inning, when Sara Faber smacked a double that drove in Julia Merfeld.
