Three new Freedom Rocks, painted by Ray “Bubba” Sorensen of Greenfield, will be dedicated in three Iowa communities this Saturday — on Veterans Day. Sorensen says one of them is in the Hamilton County town of Stratford and it will feature a series of soldiers’ faces, men and women, which all look like they could be related.
“What I tried to do was illustrate from the Revolutionary War, kind of like the same family that has served in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, all the way through to current,” Sorensen says. “I have them all looking similar but a little different and then there are changes in their headwear.” The rock in Hamilton County also pays tribute to a Tuskegee airman who was killed in action in World War Two.
“Not only are the Tuskegee airmen rare, but they have incredible stories and incredible acts of heroism fighting not only the enemy but racism at that time,” Sorensen says. “It’s just a neat story as well.” The dedication ceremony will be held this Saturday afternoon at 3 P-M in Stratford.
Other ceremonies will be held in Cresco in Howard County and Murray in Clarke County. There are now 68 Freedom Rocks across the state with the goal of having the rocks located in all 99 Iowa counties by 2020.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The most heartwarming new tradition in college football can be found at Iowa. It’s called “The Wave.” At the end of the first quarter, everyone inside Kinnick Stadium is encouraged to turn and wave to the young patients watching the game in the nearby children’s hospital. The idea was sparked in June by a fan and it has already become a beloved part of game day. Scott Turner is the executive director of the hospital. He says it provides a sense of normalcy for patients and their loved ones.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska defensive coordinator Bob Diaco said he needs more time to get the defense up and running the way coaches and fans expect. He added that his players’ tackling skills were so poor at the start of spring practice that to say it was alarming would be an understatement. With the Cornhuskers 4-5 and head coach Mike Riley on the hot seat, Diaco addressed reporters for more than 20 minutes after practice to lay out the challenges he’s faced.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals have promoted Terry Bradshaw to hitting coach and Cal Eldred to pitching coach as part of a series of moves to manager Ned Yost’s coaching staff. Vance Wilson will oversee the bullpen, Pedro Grifol will continue to oversee catchers and Mike Jirschele will handle third base duties. Mitch Maier will be the new first base coach.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa didn’t really know what it had in sophomore Nate Stanley when he was named the starting quarterback in August. Stanley’s coming out party came last weekend when he threw five touchdown passes in a stunning 55-24 rout of Ohio State. It was the second five-touchdown performance of the season for Stanley. It helped the 25th-ranked Hawkeyes return to the Top 25 for the first time this season. Iowa plays at No. 6 Wisconsin on Saturday.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa agency is delaying plans to add a third company back into the state’s privatized Medicaid program. Iowa Department of Human Services Director Jerry Foxhoven says the agency will hire another company to offer Medicaid coverage in 2019. The agency originally said next July. Foxhoven says the agency will still begin its search for a company soon, but the 2019 delay ensures adequate time. Foxhoven provided the information Tuesday to a health care council.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Kim Reynolds says she has asked an ethics board to determine whether a couple who work in Iowa’s executive branch violated any laws by working on the side as agents of Saudi Arabia. Reynolds says that lawmakers should also change state law next year to ban public officials from working as foreign agents. Her comments come amid scrutiny over Kim and Connie Schmett, who hold important state appointments and collected $101,500 in a Saudi Arabia-funded lobbying campaign.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Three men have pleaded guilty to using stolen identities and debit card numbers in a buying spree across Iowa. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 26-year-old Dunieski Santana Moreno and 21-year-old Liliany de Armas Mena pleaded guilty last week in Cedar Rapids’ federal court to aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to commit access device fraud. Thirty-six-year-old Pedro Alvarez Rodriguez pleaded guilty to the same charges on Sept. 21. All three are Cuban citizens, but had lived in the U.S.
MISSOURI VALLEY, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a western Iowa county supervisor has died in a grain bin accident. Harrison County Sheriff Pat Sears says 63-year-old Russ Kurth, of Logan, died in the bizarre Tuesday morning accident outside a grain bin just north of Missouri Valley. Sears say Kurth and another person were checking out a door from which corn was leaking on the new bin that had been recently filled. Officials say the door burst open as Kurth and the other man approached, burying Kurth in corn.
