AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Field of Dreams (Dyersville): Kyle Schwarber launched two homers into the corn and the Phillies rolled past the Twins 7-1 in the first MLB game at the Iowa movie site in four years, with Aaron Nola earning the win and 26 Hall of Famers emerging from the outfield for the big pregame moment. Road Work (Tama County): Iowa DOT set a tentative Aug. 10 start to break up U.S. 63 pavement; the exposed rebar won’t be drivable while crews prep and repave through mid-to-late October, with short pauses for other projects. Nursing Home Licensing: The Iowa Board of Nursing Home Administrators suspended Marcy Louise Martin’s license after a complaint about facility funds and documentation; the board says allegations remain disputed and unadjudicated but the action is meant to protect the public. Agriculture Politics (Meskwaki Powwow): Democratic Ag candidate Chris Jones spoke at the Meskwaki Powwow about food sovereignty and argued Iowa could adopt similar models to boost local food and reduce health risks. Local Elections (Tama County): Kathy Holtz won the GOP nomination for Tama County Treasurer at a special nominating convention after no one cleared the primary threshold. Sports (All-State Baseball): Lynnville-Sully’s JD Richards earned Class 1A first-team all-state honors, with Baxter’s Cael Wishman and Colton Moffit also recognized.
