(Webster City, IA) — A charity golf tournament scheduled for this weekend will benefit the family of an Iowa State trooper who died in a crash in northeast Iowa last fall. Trooper Dennis Schnathorst, a member of the Hamilton County Peace Officers Association, says every year there’s a different recipient chosen — and this year it’s Holly Benda. Her husband, Trooper Ted Benda, was fatally injured last year in a traffic accident while on duty, and he died in the hospital a few days later. The association’s golf tournament is Saturday at Briggs Woods Golf Course in Webster City.
