Iowa 3rd District Republican congressional candidate David Young, is hitting the road with a final pitch on why people should elect him to the U-S House of Representatives. The seat, which was left open in this election cycle by Tom Latham, is also sought by Young’s Democrat opponent, Staci Appel.
On Thursday, he’ll hold a meet and greet in Red Oak over the noon hour, followed by similar events in Farragut from 2-until 3-p.m. at the Freedom Corner (601 Hartford Ave.), and in Glenwood from 4-until 5-p.m. Thursday, at the Glenwood State Bank (32 N. Walnut St.).
All of the events are open to the public.
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Company officials say federal agents are investigating records seized from Iowa Home Care offices in West Des Moines, Clive and Fort Dodge. Agents from the Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services were seen carrying boxes of records from the West Des Moines office on Tuesday afternoon.
Pete Deegan of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Northern Iowa would not comment other than to say the agents were conducting official business. The company says it “looks forward to cooperating fully with state and federal authorities regarding any questions related to our record-keeping practices.”
Iowa Home Care offers home health care services in 36 Iowa counties, most of which are in central, north central and south central Iowa.
The City Council in Atlantic will hold a special session this evening, at City Hall. During the 5:15-p.m. meeting, the Council will hold discussion with regard to their goals for the City and Vision for the next five-years. There will also be an opportunity for a public forum.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa (5-2, 2-1 Big Ten) is still in control of its destiny in the West division. But a collapse could be imminent if the Hawkeyes don’t make major progress over the next few weeks. Iowa’s rush defense was broken down repeatedly in its last two games. The Hawkeyes are also thinner at linebacker now that Reggie Spearman is suspended for the next two games after he was charged with drunk driving last weekend.
The offense remains among the worst in the Big Ten, and the sudden departure of wide receiver Derrick Willies will further test Iowa’s ability to push defenses. Iowa kicks off a stretch of five games in 28 days on Saturday against Northwestern (3-4, 2-2).
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Last year’s Hawkeyes could have been the team to revive the program. Instead, they’ll be remembered for crumbling down the stretch. Iowa was ranked 15th in the country before it dropped seven of its last eight games, including a first-round loss to Tennessee in the NCAA tournament. Then Hawkeyes finished 20-13 and 9-9 in the Big Ten.
Iowa has enough talent to make its loyal fan base forget about last season’s stumble, even with the loss of star guard Devyn Marble. The real question is whether the Hawkeyes can overcome adversity instead of being overwhelmed by it.
Iowa opens the season on Nov. 14 against Hampton.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa freshman wide receiver Derrick Willies is leaving the program and sophomore running back LeShun Daniels Jr. is out for the rest of the season because of an undisclosed injury. Coach Kirk Ferentz says Willies is expected to transfer to be closer to his father, who is having health issues.
Willies caught four passes for 71 yards this season. The player from Rock Island, Illinois, was considered one of the program’s most promising young talents. Daniels rushed for 42 yards on 14 carries this season playing behind Mark Weisman and Jordan Canzeri.
The Hawkeyes (5-2, 2-1 Big Ten) host Northwestern (3-4, 2-2) on Saturday.
