participant in Healthy Cass County. People who visited the Cass County Fair may recognize Gina. Others may have seen her sharing coloring books and other mental health resources at
Produce in the Park. The CALM suicide prevention training is open to the public. To join the meting virtually, contact Cass County Wellness Coordinator Brigham Hoegh at bhoegh@iastate.edu or 712-249-5870.

The meeting will also be broadcast at the Atlantic Public Library meeting room. Anyone is welcome to attend. Food is allowed in the meeting room, and attendees are welcome to bring
their lunch. Additional information from the VA on suicide prevention, including resources on lethal means, can be found at https://www.mentalhealth.va.gov/suicide_prevention/index.asp.

Crowd gathers near Lisbon for Mathis, Bohannan ‘county line’ event

News

September 5th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) –  The Democratic candidates in Iowa’s first and second congressional districts say the line to maintaining a Democratic majority in the U.S. House runs through Iowa. Liz Mathis of Hiawatha, the Democrat running in Iowa’s second congressional district, and fellow Democrat Christina Bohannan, the first district candidate, rallied with supporters at a “county line” fundraiser near Lisbon this weekend. Bohannan is from Iowa City. “We are standing on the line between two of the most competitive congressional districts in this country, so this is ground zero for this election in every way that matters,” Bohannan said.

Mathis told the crowd it’s go time. “We’ve got to get out the vote,” Mathis said. “In this district, district number two, we have only now 2700 or so more active Democratic voter registrations than Republican.” This spring, Mathis and Bohannan were among a dozen candidates national Democrats identified as top prospects for defeating Republican incumbents. Mathis is challenging first-term Republican Ashley Hinson of Marion and Bohanann is challenging Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Ottumwa, who’s also in her first term in the U.S.

Election Day is 64 days away.

Franken, Mathis, Bohannan say Biden got ‘extremism’ warning right

News

September 5th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Three of the Iowa Democrats running for federal office say President Biden’s speech last week highlighted the dangers of extremism in American politics. Mike Franken, the Democrat running against Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, says President Biden’s speech last week as the first inning of the push to November’s election. “He’s tried to be conciliatory. He’s tried to do what he can to give many outs to the the segment of the Republican Party which has gone adrift and he’s had it. I agree with him. Stop it. Let’s go,” Franken said, to applause. “We know what we have to do. The polls and the majority of Iowans are firmly with us.”

Bohannan says a lot of Democrats, Republicans and independents agree on what government needs to do. “The problem is that extreme politics are getting in our way,” Bohannan said. Mathis told reporters voters want the campaign focused on solutions. “The things that resonate with the people in our districts are those things around lower prices, reproductive rights, making sure that people cool their jets,” Mathis said, “making sure that they are stopping the culture wars, the MAGA Republicans are stopping all the trash talk and we are able to get along and get things done.”

Mathis, Bohannan and Franken made their comments at a campaign event near Lisbon this weekend. Election Day is 64 days away.

Hawkeyes and Cyclones prepare for 69th meeting

Sports

September 5th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says Spencer Petras will remain the starting quarterback in the 69th meeting of the Cy-Hawk series against Iowa State. The Hawkeye offense managed on 166 yards in a bizarre 7-3 win over South Dakota State. The Iowa defense used two second half safeties after the teams traded first half field goals.

Beginning his third season as the starter, Petras was 11 of 25 for 109 yards and his first half interception set up South Dakota State’s lone field goal.

Since last year’s win over Penn State the numbers for Petras have cratered. In his last seven games has one touchdown pass and eight interceptions.

Not helping was the the absence of receivers Keegan Johnson and Nico Ragaini due to injury and a struggling offensive line that made Iowa’s run game non-existent.

Special teams were a factor, especially the punting of Tory Taylor who punted 10 times, with seven being downed inside to 20.

Taylor says it was good to get a win.

Quarterback play was not an issue at Iowa State. Sophomore Hunter Dekkers passed for 293 yards and four touchdowns as the Cyclones hammered Southeast Missouri State 42-10.

That’s ISU coach Matt Campbell who was confident Dekkers would play well.

Campbell says Dekkers was ready for the challenge.

After struggling in the opener the past few seasons Campbell liked the overall performance.

Iowa State will be looking to snap Iowa’s six game winning streak in the series.
