Temperatures tumble, hard freeze ahead

Enjoy today because this will likely be our last day in the 50s for quite a while! A strong cold front will bring a significant drop in temperatures over the next 24 hours, followed by our coldest stretch of weather in several weeks. Some frost will be possible late tonight into Thursday morning, but a much more widespread hard freeze is looking almost certain Thursday night into Friday morning. Temperatures will remain below normal through the weekend before gradually warming up next week. The forecast will also remain dry for the foreseeable future.

Iowa drivers need to resist the urge to veer away from deer

Motorists are always supposed to stay vigilant for hazards but it’s especially important at this time of the year when deer are more active — and more plentiful. Dan McGehee, director of the Driving Safety Research Institute at the University of Iowa, says part of the problem is deer have fewer places to hide as the harvest has left most of the state’s cornfields cleaned out.

UIHC task force leaves cause of higher Mission Cancer bills untouched

A small task force the Iowa Board of Regents assembled to review issues with patient billing after University of Iowa Health Care purchased the state's largest cancer treatment clinic says more could be done to help patients understand billing and access financial support. The task force, however, was not assigned to do anything about the biggest factor that has made former Mission Cancer & Blood patients' bills higher under UIHC. Dr. Denise Jamieson, UIHC vice president for medical affairs , told the regents at their Wednesday, Nov. 11, meeting in Ames the group examined communications with patients and billing and financial counseling. Jamieson said it determined UIHC could inform patients earlier about what they may owe, connect them with financial assistance and work with insurers, employers and others that play a role in out-of-pocket medical costs. UIHC also could "measure whether the changes are affecting the patient experience," she said. "We want patients to focus on their treatment," she said. But the task force did not address the reason for the higher bills. In a series of investigative reports this year, the Des Moines Register Watchdog found the elevated bills showed up after the nonprofit hospital group started charging hospital

Lanon Baccam tapped to lead Gov.-elect Rob Sand’s inauguration

DES MOINES, Iowa (Iowa Capital Dispatch) - Democrat Lanon Baccam has been tapped by Gov.-elect Rob Sand to lead his inauguration team.

Zach Nunn for Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District seat in 2024 — a race he lost to the Republican incumbent. The son of Tai Dam refugees, he has prior experience in politics, having served in the U.S. Department of Agriculture under former Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilasck — a previous Democratic Iowa governor — during President Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s administrations. Baccam is also a veteran, having served as a combat engineer in Afghanistan.
