Tonight, tragedy on the river.
As soon as I seen the jet ski, I thought, oh my god, I know who that is.
Friends look back on the man who was lost and the charges against the woman that was
with him at the time.
And furious words for a Cedar Rapids bank robber.
You are just a walking man right now that is bound for federal prison.
Mark my words.
What's different at this morning's robbery that has the credit union's president making
threats?
Plus, the cash for clunkers program is doing great.
The reason the government is scrapping the incentive.
But first, a developing story out of Washington D.C.
Less than a week after it started, the government's cash for clunkers program may be shut down.
That's right.
It's actually going too well right now and could run out of money.
The $1 billion program offers up to $4,500 in rebates for folks who trade in old cars
to buy new, more fuel efficient ones.
The program is expected to last until November 1st.
But the response has been overwhelming.
Chrysler says it's selling a lot of vehicles because of cash for clunkers.
And Hyundai predicts 15 percent of its July sales will come from that program alone.
A spokesman for the National Highway Safety Traffic or Traffic Safety Commission says
dealers will get plenty of warning before the program runs out of money.
And Congressman Bruce Braley, who introduced the bill, says that Congress and the White
House need to act immediately and provide more money for cash for clunkers.
Now an update to breaking news from last night at 9.
Police say 30-year-old Christopher Clark of Cedar Rapids was trapped in the roller dam
while on a jet ski last night and died.
The roller dam is just off Old River Road on the southwest side of Cedar Rapids.
CBS2's Chris Jose is live in Cedar Rapids and Chris, what are friends saying tonight?
Yeah, hi Tiffany.
Good evening.
Back behind me is the roller dam where this tragic accident happened.
Further upstream is a sign that clearly warns folks to stay 300 feet away from it.
It's a warning that Christopher Clark may have ignored.
Tonight, those who knew Clark say they're still in complete shock about what happened.
What should have been a good time when the river turned deadly.
A day later, a neighborhood is mourning.
I had my feelings earlier.
I shouldn't have had them, but they just for some reason they were there.
Trudy Berry says they were feelings of danger, feelings that quickly became reality.
I was watching the 10 o'clock news and it said breaking news and I thought, oh, what's
this going to mean this time?
And as soon as I seen the jet ski, I thought, oh my God, I know who that is.
This is Bobbi Jo McDaniel's mugshot.
She was charged for drunk driving her jet ski.
Witnesses say she tried saving Clark, but it was too dangerous.
He just kind of kept disappearing and then he'd come back up and then eventually he just
stayed down.
It was a horrific scene for onlookers, but this wasn't the first time death took place
here.
It was at this very spot back in 1976.
The fire department lost two of their own during a training exercise.
The rest of the night I just kept kind of pacing and thinking this can't be true, but
it is.
For those who knew Clark, it's a tragedy that's still sinking in.
It's a very unrestful night for most of us around here.
Also tell me they saw McDaniel and Clark drinking together before they came out here.
I'm told both are regulars out here on the river.
Reporting live tonight in Cedar Rapids, Chris Jose, CBS2 News.
Chris thank you.
Clark was wearing a life jacket, but fire and rescue crews say they're basically useless
against that powerful undertow that really gives you an indication of how strong it is.
Take a look at this.
This picture may tell the story best.
It really shows the hidden dangers of something like a roller dam.
Look at all these arrows, some coming up, some coming out, others just going clockwise
and counterclockwise all at the same time.
Now if someone gets caught in the undercurrent, the water keeps barreling creating these air
pockets.
And occasionally witnesses say they saw Clark end up emerging only to be pushed back down
again.
Well when he was pushed back down again, he was likely pushed against this concrete slab
right here over and over again.
Take a look at some video from last night.
You can see a barrel that just keeps circulating and slamming against a cement wall.
That is the wall hidden behind that water.
Rescue crews say that is likely what kept Clark underwater.
Cedar Rapids fire crews say they do practice water and ice rescues on the river about every
two years or so.
But Jack, they say they rescue on average eight people a year.
Tiff, thanks.
A man put a gun to their head, stole money and then got away.
The robbery happened about 930 this morning at First Federal Credit Union on First Avenue
in Cedar Rapids.
Tonight surveillance photos show some of what frightened bank workers saw this morning.
You can see the masked gunman here walking into the bank wearing that jumpsuit and sunglasses
over a ski mask holding the gun.
Bank workers say the man put that gun to their heads, stole money and got away.
Tonight police are still searching for the robber who the credit union president calls
an animal and a threat.
Police searched the area even looking in trash cans.
They found footprints but no robber.
The credit union's president tonight is angry.
There will turn you in if nothing else.
Just a matter of time and you're going to be in prison.
Mark my words.
The president of that credit union says they have really good surveillance video.
Take another look at the pictures.
Police say the robber is a white man about six feet tall dressed in those blue coveralls,
glasses and a camouflage bandana on his head.
Police are asking anyone with information to call them right away.
Weather will be perfect tomorrow and you might want to enjoy it because it may not
last.
We might have some other stuff coming in too.
Let's check in with chief meteorologist mace michaels.
Some showers possible for later this weekend.
Today we add the rain and cooler temperatures around and there's still been a few showers
in the area this evening.
3-D Doppler shows a couple of sprinkles far northeast corner of the state.
Few roaming towards Dubuque although they have fallen apart.
Another little area north of Charles City in New Hampton.
You can see that little shower area has evaporated away as well.
Let's check the satellite radar throughout the day though.
Today we had a lot of cloudiness earlier this morning and showers.
There they are.
That area of moisture, the front has moved away and the sky has started to clear.
So we're looking at cooler temperatures in the region now with numbers in the low to
mid 60s and a mainly clear sky.
Other than around a couple of those showers, few more clouds may be toward Dubuque.
Tomorrow morning starts off in the low 50s.
The afternoon mid 70s, upper 70s by the day's end.
Few spots will probably make it to 80 degrees.
Looks like it will be a little warmer here throughout the next seven days.
Talk about that and look back here how the month of July has tallied up in a few minutes.
Alright, Mase, thank you.
A controversial highway project is back on the table.
The Department of Transportation is looking to build a four-lane bypass that would route
traffic around Mount Vernon and Lisbon.
Our Chris Jones is live tonight on Highway 30 and Chris, you say that the new plan has
some people pretty concerned.
Oh, that's right.
The concerns aren't really coming here.
This is one of those intersections pretty busy here in Mount Vernon and bypassing this
would create a much better traffic flow for people coming in and out of Mount Vernon.
Many of them go, of course, to work in Cedar Rapids, but it's the property owners, farm
owners where this bypass could be that say their property is at risk.
Leonard Baker has lived here for 20 years.
He's worried about the future of his home.
Well, now the edge of this corridor goes right through the middle of my house.
So I guess I got concerns and I'd like to know what's going on.
The Department of Transportation plans run right through this 12-acre property.
I mean, I don't want to see anybody lose their house, but I really want to know what's going
on.
This is the proposed map.
The area in orange could be where the Highway 30 bypass is built.
And while property owners like Leonard are concerned, the DOT says Highway 30 bypass
would meet the growing traffic demands in the area.
And now this bypass proposal does cover a very wide swath of land.
And if homeowners, if this eventually goes forward, if homeowners don't agree to sell,
there could be some potential condemnation, eminent domain that could be involved.
But that is, of course, a long ways away.
In live in Mount Vernon, Chris Jones, CBS2 News.
Chris, thank you.
The Department of Transportation still has a ways to go before this plan becomes a reality.
They say it could be a decade before plans are finalized.
He was killed just a day after his 18th birthday.
Jaron Janey died today after an early morning single car accident in Benton County.
Also injured in the crash were the driver, 19-year-old Brandon Hundley of Vinton and
another passenger, 18-year-old Shelby Usher of Vinton, a fourth person in the truck was
not hurt.
The crash happened just after one this morning on 33rd Avenue Drive, about three and a half
miles west of Center Point.
Investigators say Hundley lost control of his 2006 Ford Ranger, sliding into the ditch
and then hitting a tree.
Today friends of Jaron set up a memorial at the crash site.
They say the news still has not sunk in.
It doesn't seem real at all and it probably won't.
This morning I woke up and I was going to go to the hospital and see him and my neighbor
told me that he was gone.
Jaron Janey dead in that crash.
The driver, Brandon Hundley and passenger Shelby Usher are both out of the hospital
tonight but Shelby is in fair condition with a fractured neck.
Center Point Urbana's principal called CBS2 and let us know that grief counseling is available
for students tomorrow.
Counselors will be in the library from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
The family of a man shot by a Johnson County deputy says they didn't even know he was homeless.
John Dang was shot by a deputy who said Dang had a knife and was attacking another man.
Iowa City Police say two family members identified him and told officers they really didn't know
he didn't have a home.
The deputy, Terry Stotler, is on administrative leave while the shooting is investigated.
Officials say it could take months before that situation is completely sorted out.
The shooter in a Waterloo case may be found tonight.
Officers were called to the area of Broadway and Congress streets last week on July 20th
for a shooting.
33-year-old Bernard Edwards was shot once in the stomach.
The suspect was identified as 23-year-old Tavares Montgomery.
Now today, Waterloo officers found out that Montgomery is being held in Wisconsin right
now.
He's in the Dane County jail there until he can be brought back to face charges.
Here's a question for you.
Are you for or against medical marijuana?
The state's drug board wants to know and they're coming to the University of Iowa so you can
tell them.
The Iowa Board of Pharmacy has said that it will hold four public hearings around the
state.
Eastern Iowas will be held at the University of Iowa on October 7th.
The board scheduled the hearings after a judge ordered them to consider marijuana for medical
use.
The board of pharmacy can only say whether marijuana may or may not have medical value.
If they find that it does have safe medical uses, then it would be up to the state legislature
to allow it or keep it banned.
Well, we want your two cents on this issue.
Do you think marijuana is medicine?
Go online to KGAN.com and scroll down.
We will share your responses tomorrow.
The Moving Wall is in Iowa tonight.
That's the half-size replica of the actual Vietnam Wall in D.C.
There it is.
You can see it around the clock right now.
It's at the historic Hoover site in West Branch.
The Moving Wall averages about 100,000 visitors each time it makes a stop.
Everyone has their own personal feelings on what it means for them or in many cases their
lost loved one.
I haven't seen him or touched his name since 1967.
Wow.
The Moving Wall was started by Vietnam veteran John Devid after he was inspired by the D.C.
Wall's dedication back in 1982.
He wanted to bring the experience to people who couldn't get to Washington to see it with
their own eyes.
The national honor flag also arrives tomorrow.
That's the flag that flew over ground zero on 9-11.
That will be at the wall until Monday.

Twenty-one million dollars has been given to the program and 16 million of that will
go toward conversion costs, with another five million going toward post-flood steam bill
assistance.

Interstate 280, exit 11A.
Here's a check at first morning 3D Doppler.
Still some showers lingering in the area, but nothing really too heavy.
It looks like they've sort of fallen apart.
One cell near Charles City, New Hampton sort of drifting away.
Another little cell working through Clayton County, El Cater area, dying off in northern
Dubuque County.
Here's a look at some of the rainfall totals though from earlier on today.
This little stripe of green, a few spots, half an inch, maybe three quarters of an inch
of rain.
Wasn't too terribly heavy rainfall, but right here in this little narrow band, the showers
were a touch heavier.
Then as you look back here in the lighter blues, not nearly as much rain.
The darker blues, maybe up to a quarter or a third of an inch.
And then the light blues, barely anything, tenth of an inch, couple of sprinkles.
So not a lot of rain in the area today.
Earlier on, satellite radar showed that shower and thunderstorm activity, mainly just showers,
few crackles of thunder especially as the front moved on into Illinois.
Now the sky is clearing behind it with the westerly wind flow, but a little more of a
northwesterly flow here in that far northeast corner of the states.
So those of you in Alamakee, Winnipeg, also a little bit of Fayette County, you've seen
some of those sprinkles roll by.
And there's even a little bit of hail in one of them earlier on.
It though has fallen apart, as we mentioned.
Let's check the temperatures.
Sixty now, Cedar Rapids, a cool night in store for us.
Normal low this time of year, and the low to mid-sixties.
So with us already at that level, and the clear sky and the wind dying down, you know
the temps still get a ways to fall.
There's the dew point, pretty low, 56.
The humidity not too high for this hour either.
Temperatures, upper 50s, low 60s, again a cool night, but still fairly pleasant.
When you crunch down all the lows and the highs so far this month, Dubuque has totaled
up to be about 65 and a half degrees.
That is the coldest on record so far for the month of July.
The second coldest, 66.7, set back in 1992.
Cedar Rapids, it looks like a record is going to fall there as well by a good three degrees.
And Marion, a little over a degree, degree and a half.
Of course, the final numbers still have to be checked out once again.
We have today and tomorrow's numbers to go in there, but I don't think we'll be able
to change these too much.
Definitely the coldest July on record here across many of the stations.
Waterloo will end up being the second or third coldest.
Our normal this time of year, about 72 to 75 degrees if you crunch down the numbers,
depending on where you are on the east side of the state.
So definitely cooler than normal.
The Iowa statewide average, if you tally in all the numbers across the state, is just
a shade under 74.
We've been 68.2 so far, a tenth of a degree below the previous record from 1891.
So statewide also may end up being the coldest on average.
A lot of shower activity up here across Minnesota and that's what's sort of driven down the
northwest flow.
There's the front from our area earlier on and then the brighter white clouds to the
northwest.
That's the next front that will affect us Saturday.
Here's what's going on throughout the night tonight.
High pressure controlling the weather.
Exact track doesn't have much going on.
You see it's pretty quiet tomorrow.
Just a few scattered clouds in the later part of the day.
You'll see on Saturday, here comes the front.
There's your chance for showers and thunderstorms moving in the later part of the day, but it
quiets back down for Sunday.
So rain chance up Saturday, down again on Sunday, warmer as well.
So tonight's the last cool night in a while.
Yeah.
Another blanket on.
But the 80s come back at least.
It is nice weather out there, not what we were expecting I guess for the whole summer.
It's refreshing.
Maybe August will be hot.
It could still be really hot.
And we're going to hate it because now we're really spoiled.
I think it would be fun.
You never know.
We'll take whatever we get.
Thanks Mace.
It's a blast from the past that still fascinates the kids.
Some grownups too.
Soapbox derby racers are in Des Moines through the weekend for their national championship
event.
The drivers compete in several categories which dictate what they can do to their cars.
All the power for a soapbox racer is provided by gravity.
Racers are hooked into the starting blocks, then they are all released and it's a downhill
drag race to the finish line.
You normally have to go to Ohio to see these championships, but you can catch the action

Iowa National Guard troops could finally be getting their hard earned leave benefits.
A bill requiring the Department of Defense to honor the benefits they promised went before
the U.S. House today.
This provision formerly known as the Guaranteed Benefits for Our Troops Act was first introduced
last July.
There was a delay when the program was announced to when it officially began leaving many students
and soldiers without compensation.
An estimated 800 Iowa National Guard members did not receive the leave benefits that they
had earned.
These benefits were designed to help service members face the challenges of coming back
to civilian life.
Here's a chunk of money.
The University of Iowa is getting a $1 million donation for epilepsy research.
A Chicago couple is donating the money to their alma mater as a way to establish an
epilepsy research fund.
Beth Tross, one of the donors, has epilepsy and went to the university from 1978 to 1983.
Nathan Tross says his wife has had effective treatments and they want to make sure that
others get a chance too.
Going for the trifecta.
How much closer Solon gets tonight in the state baseball tournament to another championship
title.
I have to say fascinated with the fascination about this evening.
Seriously?
President Obama, Professor Gates and Sergeant Crowley sit down to have a beer.
The conversation that has a lot of people interested.
It's almost unheard of.
A car dealership where it all starts with you.
In Marks & Women Ford that's exactly what you'll find.
Unbeatable prices on new and used vehicles.
With unimaginable financing options.
Unequaled service and repairs.
And understanding your needs and concerns.
Because we are unlike other dealerships.
I'm Mark Zimmerman.
You can expect an unforgettable experience every time you're here.
Mark Zimmerman Ford, BMW Hyundai Mitsubishi, where it all starts with you.
It's great.
I eat anything that I want.
Key lime pie, pineapple upside down cake, raspberry cheesecake.
Yeah, every night something different.
Oh yeah, she always keeps them in the house.
No, no, no, I've actually lost weight.
I just have a high metabolism or something.
Lucky.
Babe?
Um, I gotta go.

Honey, have you been reading the Cheerios box again?
I got that off the box?
Cheerios is made with 100% natural whole grain oats to help lower your cholesterol.

Very early, but very thoughtful.
Cheerios, good for the heart.
The professor, the police officer and the president of the United States all sit down
for a beer.
You wish you were there.
I would join them if I had an invite, sure.
There was a surprise guest though.
It wasn't Jack Miller, it was Vice President Joe Biden.
President Obama said he is fascinated by the level of interest in his discussion with Harvard
professor Henry Gates Jr. and Cambridge, Massachusetts police sergeant James Crowley.
The three men who are at the center of a racial uproar gathered this afternoon for a beer
off the Rose Garden.
This is three folks having a drink at the end of the day and hopefully giving people
an opportunity to listen to each other.
During the sit down, the family members were given a tour of the West Wing.
A plume of orange smoke could be seen for miles this afternoon in Texas as firefighters
watched dangerous fire at a chemical plant.
A six mile radius around that plant had to be evacuated.
Everybody out for six miles in every direction.
The plant blends fertilizer and other chemicals and then packages them.
So obviously that was a dangerous fire.
No one was hurt but the plant is believed to contain explosive ammonium nitrate on top
of everything else.
That fire started today around noon.
New developments in the ongoing saga of Michael Jackson.
His 79 year old mother Catherine will keep custody of his kids.
An agreement has been reached making Jackson's mother Catherine their guardian.
The deal is between the Jackson family and Debbie Rowe, the pop icon's wife of three
years and mother to Prince Michael and Paris Michael, the two oldest kids.
Rowe gets visitation but nothing else.
There is no situation better for these children than for them to be raised and reared under
loving care of Mrs. Catherine Jackson.
Michael Jackson's father Joe won't be in the picture since he no longer lives in the
Encino home with his estranged wife.
The custody agreement will be formalized in court on Monday.
Meanwhile there are still many unresolved issues surrounding Jackson, mainly how his
estate will be managed and ultimately what killed him.

The guys on the Seoul and baseball team have a chance to give their school a trifecta of
trophies.
This year the Spartans have already won the football and boys basketball championships.
Tonight they can take another step towards adding baseball to that list.
They face Fort Dodge St. Edmonds in the class 2A semi-finals.
We'll pick it up in the bottom of the first score list and the Spartans start the scoring
with a bang.
Cody Strang a two run blast to right that makes it two to nothing.
Solon to the Gales fourth inning.
Game now tied at two.
Brandon Daring loops one over second.
That's going to score Thomas Keston.
Fort Dodge takes the lead.
Solon would respond though.
Down a run until Marshall Kane singles to the opposite field.
Ryan Breemeyer scores easily to tie it.
We go to extra innings and then in the ninth folks.
Patrick Flattery gets the base knock to left.
The throw home here is in time but the tag just never gets made.
Fort Dodge takes a 5-4 lead.
They played a few more in the inning and upset the Spartans 8-4.
The late game is in the fifth inning right now.
Dyersville Beckman leads Cherokee one to nothing.
It burns right now.
I'm not going to lie to you, it burns.
But we'll reflect here tonight.
We get a chance to calm down a little bit.
We certainly have done a lot of positive things this year.
We've got great kids.
We've got a lot of young kids on this team still.
A lot of sophomores played in that game.
We started six sophomores in that game.
But I'm very proud of them.
We had a nice season.
Let's go to 1A now.
Lansing Key facing Lennox in the semifinals.
Top second, no score, two outs, couple guys on.
Nice stab at short here by Key High's John Heiderscheidt.
But he overthrows first.
That allows Ben Borland and Austin Stuber to score.
Lennox takes a two-nothing lead later in the inning.
It's now three-nothing.
Connor Lang steps up and blasts one.
All the way to the wall in left center.
Ethan Westfall scores to make it four to nothing.
Lennox beats Lansing Key 11 to three.
They'll face Mason City Newman Catholic, who beat Alta four to nothing.
Lansing coach Gene Schultz, though, is still proud of his Keyhawks.
To get here has just been amazing.
We've had a great season.
And we didn't play good baseball.
And when you don't play good baseball on the state level, you're not going to be able to
come away with too many gifts or wins.
So give credit to Lennox.
They played very well.
Tough pitcher.
The Colonels have a chance to salvage a split of their six-game home stand.
They dropped three of the first four, but one last night.
They're going for a series win against Cain County this evening.
Folks, there's no shame in taking a book to the ballpark, especially when it's a classic
like corduroy.
I loved corduroy when I was a kid.
Probably still love it if I read it loud.
Now, love this.
Also, Matt Crawford with a bloop single into center.
John Townsend on his horse, chugging hard from 30, beats the throw.
Men of corn lead one-nothing.
Later in the inning, it's Gabe Jacobo launching one to deep center.
That's deep enough to score Alexi Amarista.
Without a throw, the Colonels would take a four-to-nothing lead.
They would go on to win by that very same score.
Four-zip is the final.
Iowa Speedway officials are already calling it the biggest racing weekend in the history
of the state.
The NASCAR Nationwide Series hits the Iowa Speedway for the first time ever this weekend
with the U.S. Cellular 250.
Drivers, including Series points leader Kyle Busch, that's him right there, began arriving
at the track today for some practice laps and media photo ops.
Busch has five wins this season on the Nationwide Circuit.
He and some other drivers hit the track today to prepare for Saturday.
Because the Iowa Speedway is only seven-eighths of a mile, a lot of those guys compare it
to that short track in Richmond.
Kyle Busch, who's raced on both, says Iowa's track is one of a kind.
The track does not drive one lick like Richmond at all.
It's really a unique racetrack.
You can run too wide here.
We did in the Camping World Race.
Not so sure we shouldn't be able to this weekend also and have a good show.
So it's a fast racetrack.
The race is Saturday at 3.30.
That's all for sports.
We'll be back right after this.
