Gas prices continue to fall in IA and across the nation

News

September 15th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa  – Gas prices are expected to continue falling through the election. Right now, the national average price for a gallon of gas is $3.20. That’s down 24 cents from a month ago. Triple A says in Iowa, the average price of gasoline (as of Sept. 15th) in $2.99 a gallon, which is 99-cents cheaper than at this same time last year. Diesel is selling for an average of $3.35/gallon in Iowa. Last year, the price was $4.39 on average.

Prices are expected to keep dropping, with a national average below three dollars a gallon as soon as next month. The primary culprits behind the dip are low demand and falling oil costs.

According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand fell last week from 8.93 million b/d to 8.47. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose 219.2 to 221.6 million barrels, and gasoline production decreased last week, averaging 9.4 million barrels per day. Tumbling gasoline demand and oil costs will likely keep pump prices sliding.

Iowa looks to solve big play issues

Sports

September 15th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

There is plenty to work on at Iowa heading into Saturday’s Big Ten opener at Minnesota. The Hawkeyes closes non conference play with a 38-21 win over Troy but the Hawkeye defense got torched again by the big play, giving up two touchdown passes of more than 60 yards as well as a 77 yard punt return for a score.

That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz who says there are a variety of factors that went into it.

After struggling inside the five in a loss to Iowa State the Hawkeyes inserted back up quarterback Brendan Sullivan near the goal line and he threw a touchdown on his first snap.

Through three games the Iowa defense is giving up only 56 yards of rushing per game and the offense is averaging 243 yards on the ground.

2 charged in alleged Creston sex abuse case

News

September 14th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

CRESTON, Iowa [KCCI] — Two people are accused of sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl in Creston. KCCI-TV in Des Moines reports 19-year-old Isabel Pettit and 29-year-old Dennis Simmerman are facing numerous charges, including sexual abuse. Criminal complaints in the case were filed last week. Court records say Pettit allowed Simmerman to sexually abuse the girl and that she knew he was a sex offender. Both Pettit and Simmerman are set to appear in court late next week for their preliminary hearings.

Simmerman was previously accused of abusing a child back in 2017 in Clarke County. Those charges were dropped after the county attorney at the time failed to show up for a plea hearing. Court records show Simmerman was charged again with the same crime a year later.

In 2019, Simmerman pleaded guilty to one count of enticing a child. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison but was paroled in 2021. In February 2022, he violated the sex offender registry and received a two-year probation.
