TOLEDO – As the Democrats claimed extraordinary victories nationwide Tuesday night in the midterm general election — including capturing both chambers of Congress by healthy margins and flipping several governor’s seats, including Iowa and Texas — a group of Tama County residents was also celebrating as voters here passed a public measure designed to move the Board of Supervisors back down to three.

Cedar Rapids council eyes next phase of 34th Street roadwork

CEDAR RAPIDS — The city of Cedar Rapids is striving to have both phases of its 34th Street SE reconstruction project done on schedule despite delays incurred after its original contractor defaulted on the work. Cedar Rapids City Council members, at their most recent meeting, approved the proposed plans, specifications and form of contract for the project’s second phase, which will run from just north of Terry Drive to Cottage Grove Avenue. Bid opening for the project is scheduled for Nov. 18, after which the matter will return to City Council to approve a contractor. The current cost estimate is roughly $4.3 million, according to a presentation from city staff. Engineering Manager Doug Wilson told council members that the project included pavement reconstruction along 34th Street SE, as well as storm and sanitary sewer improvements and the construction of a shared-use path. The intent is to start construction in the spring of 2027 with completion by next fall. The work is part of the city’s Paving for Progress program that uses funding generated through a voter-approved local-option sales tax. It will complement the ongoing reconstruction of 34th Street SE between Bever Avenue and Terry Drive, which city staff remain hopeful

Payten’s Pack toy drive for Stead Family Children’s Hospital is underway

Small town, Big Pride is an understatement this year when it comes to the second annual Payten’s Pack Christmas Toy Drive benefiting the children at Stead Family Children’s Hospital, said Rhonda Goodman. Goodman is the mother of Payten Stout, an Iowa Valley student with a rare autoimmune disease that nearly killed her. Stout was treated at Stead Family Children’s Hospital in Iowa City. Goodman created Payten’s Pack on Facebook to raise awareness for a rare disease and to give back to the hospital that continues to save her daughter’s life. Payten started the toy drive last year to support the hospital. “This year we are so excited to be teaming up with the Marengo FFA Chapter (advisor Marcia Kilgard),” said Goodman. The 2026 toy drive began Oct. 26 and runs through Dec. 4. People may drop off toys at Big G, Marengo Farm and Home, Carquest, The Slockett Agency-Farm Bureau Financial Services or Iowa Valley High School. Another option is to scan the QR code on toy drive fliers and shop the Amazon wishlist. Wishlist items will be delivered directly to Payten's Pack. Outside Iowa County, toys may be dropped off at Main Street Bakery in keystone, Shelly’s Sweets in

High school football: 7 Gazette-area teams move on to playoff semifinals

CEDAR RAPIDS — Seven is heaven. Eight would have been better, of course, but seven Gazette-area football teams in this week’s state playoff semifinals is pretty good. Really good. The only class where there are no representatives is Class 5A. It’s an all suburban-Des Moines affair there, with Ankeny playing Johnston and West Des Moines Dowling opposing Southeast Polk. But in the other six classes … Iowa Valley plays Woodbine in the 8-Player semifinals Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m. at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. The Tigers are ranked third, Woodbine second. The other semi pits No. 1 Audubon and No. 4 Gladbrook-Reinbeck. All four teams are undefeated. Like Iowa Valley, North Linn is a semifinalist for the first time. The sixth-ranked Lynx (10-1) stunned No. 3 Saint Ansgar, 41-0, in Friday night’s quarterfinals. You can use the word “stunned” because of the margin of victory, not necessarily because North Linn won. It scored 14 points in the first quarter and 27 in the second to get the continuous clock going. “I’m not a scoreboard guy, you know what I mean?” said North Linn Coach Jared Collum. “Comparing scores and all that. But I do compare film a lot. Just

Strong 4th quarter leads Iowa Valley past Edgewood-Colesburg

MARENGO — A motivated group of Iowa Valley football players entered this season with big goals on their minds. As the clock hit zero in the fourth quarter at Tiger Field Thursday, a four-year ascension finally saw its breakthrough as Iowa Valley defeated Edgewood-Colesburg 70-32 in an 8-player quarterfinal to advance to the UNI-Dome and the semifinal round. “You almost kind of feel a weight lifted off your shoulders after the feeling last year, and the expectations put on us this year,” Iowa Valley head coach Casey Krull said. The Tigers were eliminated in this round last season, but left no doubt in the final quarter that this time would be different. Leading 36-32, Iowa Valley forced three turnovers and scored 34 points in the final quarter to blow this one open from what was a close, contested game. “I think we all kind of remembered how it felt last year, and we just had that in the back of our heads,” quarterback Nolan Kriegel said. “We were not going to let up.” The quarter started with a fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line. Kriegel ran the ball in for his fourth rushing score of the game. On the ensuing kickoff,
