Iowa early News Headlines: Wed., 2/7/18

News

February 7th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:40 a.m. CST

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Attorneys for Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz and his neighbors say they’ve settled a years-long dispute over a private road. Trial had been scheduled to start Tuesday in a case that pitted the nation’s longest-tenured college football coach and his wife against the other families living along a road outside Iowa City. The lawsuit involved the cost of road maintenance and claims that the Ferentzes’ privacy fencing and landscaping were encroachments. Both sides say they’re pleased to settle the case.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say eight died – including two teenage sisters _ on Iowa roads as a winter storm swept the state Monday, leading to dozens of crashes and a 50- to 70-car pileup near Ames. The Des Moines Register reports that 17-year-old Avery Arneson and 13-year-old Aiden Arneson, sisters from Decorah, died a two-vehicle crash around 8:30 a.m. Monday on a county road in northeast Iowa. Another fatal crash happened at around 4:30-p.m. Monday, in Cass County.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — The person offered the job as president of Briar Cliff University in Sioux City has declined the position. The Sioux City Journal reports the university planned to announce the new president this week but instead learned the person had withdrawn from considerations due to family obligations. In response, college trustees named Rachelle Karstens as interim president. Karstens, the executive vice president, has overseen the college’s operations since the resignation of president Hamid Shirvani.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Labor, public health, environment and animal protection organizations are asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture to reject plans to change the way hogs are slaughtered and processed for meat. Thirty-five organizations including Compassion Over Killing, Friends of the Earth and Waterkeeper Alliance have asked Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue to reject the rules proposed last month.
