WWII sailor who died in a prison camp returns to Iowa to be buried

An Iowa soldier who became a prisoner of war and died in a prison camp during World War II has returned to Iowa 83 years later to be laid to rest. Robert Shove was born in Cherokee in 1922 and grew up in Sioux City. He enlisted in the Navy in 1940 when he was 18. Shove served aboard the USS Canopus, a submarine tender stationed in the Philippines, according to the Navy. He began as a seaman second class upon boarding the ship, but climbed to the rank of fireman second class. His job was to fight fires, perform rescues and stand watch. He was on the job, stationed in the Cavite Navy Yard in the Philippines, when Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Ten days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces began raiding U.S. Army installations on Luzon, the largest island of the Philippines. The sailors aboard the USS Canopus "worked tirelessly to aid other ships damaged in frequent Japanese bombing raids," according to a news release from the Navy. No reinforcements came to their aid. The USS Canopus was bombed on Dec. 29, 1941, and Jan. 1, 1942, yet the sailors resisted

Iowa Is Nation’s 14th-Most Charitable State In 2026

Iowa ranks 14th among the nation’s most charitable states, according to a recently released WalletHub report. The personal finance company’s rankings put Iowa just behind Montana and one spot ahead of Ohio. WalletHub compiled its rankings using a variety of factors, including volunteer rates, percent of income donated, charity organizations per capita, and more. Iowa’s strongest showing among the highlighted measures was its volunteer rate, which ranked 10th nationally. The state placed 11th in both charities per capita and the percentage of residents who donated time. The state’s ranking for volunteer hours per capita was middling, landing at 24th. Utah was ranked as the most charitable state in America, followed by Wyoming, Minnesota, Maryland, and Delaware. New Mexico ranked as the least charitable, followed by Nevada, Rhode Island, Mississippi, and Alabama. Americans donate more than $617 billion to charity annually. WalletHub also released a charity calculator to help people decide where and how to contribute during the holiday season, which tends to see more food drives, charitable giving, and volunteer opportunities. Links to WalletHub’s full report and their charity calculator are included with this story on our website.

Iowa Politics with Jeff Stein — Thu. Nov. 05, 2026

Back in March of 1991, President George H.W. Bush had approval ratings around 89 percent, and Democrats were finding it hard to find anyone to run against him in 1992. George McGovern was actively talked about, 20 years after he was the party’s nominee, because if the Dems were going to lose, they might as well lose with someone who could espouse the party principles–and was used to losing at that level. No sense wasting a candidate with a future.

Study: Iowa cancer rates diverged from other states in 2013

Iowa, along with Utah and West Virginia, is one of three states in the U.S. with a rising rate of new cancer diagnoses. To better understand what may be contributing to this, researchers at the American Cancer Society compared cancer diagnosis and mortality rates between Iowa and its seven surrounding states from 2001 to 2022. While Iowa’s cancer diagnosis rates were similar to other states before 2013, new diagnoses increased 0.6% annually in males from 2013 to 2022 and in females from 2005 to 2022. Other states’ cancer rates were stable during these periods. By 2022, new Iowa cancer diagnoses were 11% higher in men and 6% higher in women compared to the surrounding states. Risk factors explain 76% of Iowa’s excess cancer rates The same cancers driving Iowa’s elevated rate of new diagnoses mostly overlap with cancers driving the differences between Iowa and seven surrounding states — Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas and Wisconsin. Prostate cancer accounted for 43.5% of the difference in diagnosis rates between men in Iowa and other states from 2013 to 2022. Breast and lung cancers were responsible for 57.8% of the difference for women. During the 2013-2022 period, cancer mortality rates in

Economic development officials in Ottumwa are dealing with the recent announcement that John Deere will close its factory there and consolidate its operations in Des Moines and Louisiana

Economic development officials in Ottumwa are dealing with the recent announcement that John Deere will close its factory there and consolidate its operations in Des Moines and Louisiana. Greater Ottumwa Partners in Progress executive director Marc Roe says within hours of last Tuesday’s announcement, he began collaborating with Iowa Workforce Development and Indian Hills Community College to brainstorm how to retrain and retain those workers. “Ottumwa, any community isn’t about one business. It’s going to change our landscape for sure, but, you know, it doesn’t have to determine the future of the community. That’s up to us to do,” Roe says. John Deere will leave about 400 people out of jobs, in addition to an abandoned industrial complex in the middle of Ottumwa. Roe hopes to attract new manufacturing, retrain local employees through workforce development or the local community college, and find new ways to retain families who are building businesses or going to school in Ottumwa.
