AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head tennis coach Jaron Maestas has announced the signing of five-star prep Caroline Nicholls to a national letter of intent. “I’m excited that Caroline has chosen to join our program,” Maestas said. “I think she will come in with a clear vision of what the future looks like. She will be ready to get right at it this fall.”
Nicholls, an Aventura, Florida, native, is the nation’s 29th-ranked recruit, making her the highest-ranked player to ever sign with the Cyclones. She also ranks as the No. 6 player in the state of Florida according to the Tennis Recruiting Network.
Nicholls, who attended Dr. Michael M. Krop High School, owns a career-high UTR rating of 9.53. Nicholls is the second player to sign with the Cyclones under Maestas, joining five-time Division II All-American Isabella Dunlap.
July 21, 2023 (DES MOINES, IA) – Today (Friday), the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) Board approved awards for four companies, which will assist in the creation of 226 jobs and result in nearly $45 million in new capital investment for the state. These projects are located in Eldridge, Nevada, Osage and Story City.
The board also approved innovation funding in support of five startups located in Ames, Cedar Rapids, Denison and Slater. Earlier this week, IEDA approved assistance from Iowa’s State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) for an innovation startup in Coralville.
MOD Advisor, Inc., headquartered in Denison, was awarded a $100,000 Demonstration Fund loan for IP development and evaluation, proof of concept work, product refinement, key personnel and market planning and entry activities. 
MOD Advisor, Inc. automates the process of performing workers’ compensation experience mod analysis. This software helps businesses make an instant decision on claims with a more efficient and simplified real-time analysis between policyholder, broker and carrier.
(Radio Iowa) – Tensions continue to run high over plans for the proposed carbon pipelines. Some Kossuth County residents questioned the County Board of Supervisors this week about their actions at the end of a recent meeting with representatives of a carbon pipeline company.
One resident asked about a gesture made by a pipeline representative. “As they’re walking out one of them, gives a thumbs up to the board and there were some gestures from board members back to that. How do you explain to the public that you guys are on their side and not in cahoots with pipeline members or representatives that don’t even live in this county or pay taxes in this county?,” he asked. Another resident asked a similar question.

Fourth District Supervisor Kyle Stecker spoke up about his acknowledgment of the pipeline representatives. “I was asked after the meeting if I noticed the thumbs up. No, I didn’t, I nodded as people were walking out. Common courtesy beyond that had no meaning to me,” he says. “So whatever thumbs up anyone does inadvertently don’t really pay attention to it. Simple as that.”
Second District Supervisor Jack Plathe said the supervisors are working for the landowners, but said he couldn’t go into detail on that. The Navigator pipeline route would run through Kossuth County if it is approved.
(Radio Iowa) – The D-N-R says Iowa’s air quality is good today (Friday), but we’ve had several bouts with very unhealthy air in recent days, weeks and months, due to the wildfire smoke wafting in from Canada. Now, an ophthalmologist says all of that smoke could be leading to more cases of dry eye syndrome. Doctor Omar Awad says the condition is often worse in the winter, but not this year.
Awad says it can be treated with a warm compress to the eyelid, topical lubricants and anti-inflammatory medicines.
(Radio Iowa) – A pair of World War Two aircraft are at the Mason City Municipal Airport this weekend. The C-47 named “That’s All Brother” was one of the lead aircraft that delivered the first Allied troops to France on D-Day in 1944. Pilot Doug Rozendahl of Clear Lake says to have a historic artifact like this out where the public can see it and experience a ride is really special.
Rozendahl says there were 18 paratroopers on the plane that night, and people can experience what it was like to be involved on that D-Day flight.
