not a bad lookokng evening for a run in lawton. at least until runners came across some people back from the dead. "we started working on this in april," said susan logsdon. so no, people are not literally turning into zombies in lawton. but they were fifiratively for a zombie 5k. it all started in one persons garage. "four adults trying to get all 20- somethinm kids decorated," said logsdon. raven loftus was one of those 20-something. "like an hour or so," said raven loftus. she was playing the role of herself, well, a walking dead version of herself anyways. most zombies like loftus are juniors at lawton- bronson junior/senior high school. the purpooe of the run was to r rise funds for an afterrprom party. "midniit to five kids can go down to bronson and have a party that's a safe environment where they can go and hang out and have some fun with their friends," said logsdon. seeing the living dead drew attention from residents as well. some choose to check it out for themselves outside. others had a good enough seat inside watching runners elude the undead. deputies with the woobury county sheriff's office watched over runners. you know, in case of actual zombies. "i actually had

one come after m m" said todd wieck. "i thinn zombies, i think the the ttng they do is eat brains right?" "well i don't have to worry because i don't have one." if he says so. at the waist. loftus and others were there to strip them. finish with all and you're a survivor. lose a few and yoo get the jiss. though loftus can nderstand why movies. "really hard cause people run fast," said loftus. in lawton, iowa, sam curtius, ktiv news four.>> the zombie fun run was a first year experiment. organizers say they are considering doing it again next year. ththe was hockey in siououcity yesterday afternoon. the musketeers were in action taking on waterloo. highligh and reaction next in

swaney - the goal would be reviewed but would stand - muskies up 2-1 after 1. but sioux city has a power play to open the second period - matt steeves redirects the shot from mitch fossier - steeves also had two goals as sioux city takes it 7-5. "i think there's one thing that's really important, it's the first goal of the game," said musketeers head coach jay varady. "we were able to get that done 30 seconds in, and then the quickee two goals is always a momentum changer, so i thought we did a good job with that as well to give us a little bit of a lead to start the game." "i think there was lot of key goals where they would come down and score, and then we were able to answer and push back a little bit. i think that was one of the big keys for us tonight." the musketeers are back at home on friday, taking on des moines. iowa lost running back jordan

using their phone, it's not always easy to tell whatt they're doing on it.

"i think the bigger part is that driving and if we see people aren't paying attention to the road, there's a lot of different laws that can cover that behavior and not just the texting." >> that was jill johnson reporting from sioux falls. police won't give their opinion on how a total ban would impact them, until an actual ordinance is passed. the proposal will go before the city council for a first reading today. hundreds of siouxlanders took a walk in morningside yesterday afternoon to help feed the hungry. more than 300 walkers took part in the 39th annual siouxland crop walk. the event is a chance for families to give back to those who need it most. 36 churches and six community groups took part. walk coordinator, rolene beauvais, says the eveve has become a great family tradition for those looking to help feed the hungry.
