Most of the attention is being focused on the four states that vote first for a party nominee _ Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. A Los Angeles-based strategist, Michael Trujillo, says in the wake of the state party’s convention that California will end up being pretty wide open in the primary race.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — All students in the Council Bluffs school district will receive free meals beginning this fall.

Lisa Stewart, director of nutrition services for the district, told the board of education last week that the entire school district now qualifies for Community Eligibility Provision, a federal program that allows students to eat free breakfast and lunch.

The Daily Nonpareil reports families in elementary schools could save up to $700 a year, with families of high school students saving up to $900 a year.

Stewart said the students qualified because of a state decision in March 2018 to accept certain classifications of Medicaid enrollees as automatically qualified for free lunches. She says the change was not caused by a sudden decline in the area’s economy.

Police in Council Bluffs were dispatched to Mercy Hospital around 2:30-a.m. today (Sunday), where a woman was reported to have been cut with a knife during a disturbance. The victim told officers that the alleged female offender, 23-year old Shyanne Dalton-Birdsong, was fighting with Shyanne’s roommate and “made stabbing motions” towards the roommate with a knife. The victim tried to intervene between Shyanne and Shyanne’s roommate, and ended up having two of her fingers cut.

Officers went to 3115 12th Avenue and located Dalton-Birdsong and her roommate. The suspect was arrested on charges of Aggravated Assault and Aggravated Domestic Abuse.
