The Mayor for the City of Exira has resigned. According to a statement issued by Mayor Brenda Bengard, she has had health issues related to stress over City bills, payroll and closing of accounts. Her health began to decline, according to Bengard, after the retirement of Exira’s City Clerk forced her to take on additional duties for the City.
Bengard said she was proud to have served the City and to have been the first woman elected as Mayor of Exira. According to the Audubon County Auditor’s Office, the City of Exira has 60 days to appoint a new mayor, and must publish its intention to appoint a mayor for the vacancy.
The publication must also notify city residents of the right to request a special election by filing a petition.

PHOENIX (AP) — Rubby De La Rosa struck out a career-high 10 and pitched two-hit ball through seven innings, Chris Herrmann and Brandon Drury homered and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 Thursday night.
The Diamondbacks forced a split in the four-game series. De La Rosa (3-3) had been shaky this year and was demoted to the bullpen for a time but turned in his second straight strong start.
Herrmann’s two-run home run — after Drury’s blooper fell between center fielder Stephen Piscotty and shortstop Aledmys Diaz for a double — gave the Diamondbacks a 2-0 lead in the second. Drury lined a 2-1 pitch from Michael Wacha (2-1) into the left field seats for a solo shot in the fourth. It was Drury’s second home run in two days.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs traded the 28th overall pick to San Francisco on Thursday night and received the 49ers’ second-round pick along with choices in the fourth and sixth rounds in this year’s NFL draft. The 49ers used the first-round pick on Stanford guard Joshua Garnett.
Kansas City will have the 37th overall pick when the draft resumes with the second and third rounds Friday night. They will also have their original second-round choice at Number 59.
The Chiefs had their third-round pick stripped as part of the penalties handed down for a tampering case last offseason. So when runs on cornerback and wide receiver took several top players off the board at their biggest positions of the need, the Chiefs made the decision to trade down.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Heather Miller-Koch successfully defended her Drake Relays heptathlon title Thursday, winning four of the seven events and finishing with 5,796 points. Kale Wolken won the decathlon by nearly 1,000 points over Tyler Jones of Kent State.

Bethanie Brown of Iowa was the 5,000 winner in 16:25.19, and Texas Tech’s Evans Tuitoek topped the men’s field at 13:58.56.
