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

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
