Iowa County supervisors discuss speed change for Conroy

MARENGO — Some residents of the unincorporated community of Conroy have asked Iowa County Supervisors to reduce the speed of a 45 mph speed zone through the town. Supervisors mentioned the request to County Engineer Nick Amelon Oct. 23. Amelon was reluctant to change the speed based on a request, citing precedence for future cases. Supervisor Kevin Heitshusen said supervisors would look at each request case by case. Approving one doesn’t guarantee approval of another, he said. Supervisor Abigail Maas said this is a legitimate concern brought to the attention of supervisors because of a daycare in the area. Maas felt Amelon was making mountains out of mole hills when he suggested several speed changes on other county roads earlier this year, she said. Those suggestions were all based on geometry, Amelon said. He has to be able to legally justify the speed limit based on Iowa Code, he said. Discussion continued Nov. 6. Supervisor Jon Degen said he doesn’t see a problem with setting the speed limit through Conroy at 25 or 35. He thinks the stretch of road in question would qualify as rural residential, which would justify the slower speed. There are several houses on that stretch

Iowa City man accused of stabbing wife with scissors, strangling her

IOWA CITY — An Iowa City man was charged Wednesday, accused of trying to kill his wife after she reported he had stabbed her with a pair of scissors and assaulted her after breaking into her home Tuesday. When officers responded, they saw a “large amount of blood” and found the woman with “numerous” stab wounds on and around her face, according to a criminal complaint. The woman told police that her husband, Yanser Batista Daby, 40, broke into her home, where he wasn’t allowed because she had a temporary protective order against him in a previous case. He stabbed her with scissors, strangled her and slammed her head into the floor during the assault, the criminal complaint stated. Officers found a pair of scissors at the woman’s home in a “pool of blood,” the complaint stated. Batista Daby left the house after the assault on his electric bike, and the woman had to find a neighbor to call 911, she told police. Police found her husband a short time later in the 800 block of Roosevelt Street. A search warrant was obtained for that residence, and blood was found on the man’s bike and helmet, according to the complaint.

Deep River brothers carry on family farm tradition

DEEP RIVER — It was a beautiful early November day. The sun was shining, and brothers Adam and Alex Cheney, who live near Deep River, were busy tuning up the combine to finish up harvest. With 600 acres to go, the recent rains had put everything on hold. The two brothers had always wanted to farm and carry on the Cheney family tradition. After graduating from Iowa State University — Adam in May 2022 and Alex in December 2023 — the two brothers returned home to join their parents, Tom and Michelle, in the family farming operation. Adam, 25, holds a BA in ag business with a minor in entrepreneurship, and Alex, 23, holds a BA in ag studies. Both agree that there are limited opportunities for young people to get into farming these days. “The biggest problem is the profitability to get into a farm or start farming,” said Adam. “It’s more likely for a family member to join an established farm than start their own farm.” “It’s a lot of work to make it,” Adam said. The brothers are the sixth generation of the Cheney family to farm and the third generation on the home farm. Their late

Purdue at Iowa: Opening Odds

How does FanDuel think Purdue will fire in the second post-Kevin Kane era?. After a [somewhat] stunning defeat and a [not-so] stunning coaching change over homecoming weekend, Purdue football will travel to Iowa City to take on the AP #16 Hawkeyes in Kinnick. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 PM ET so it will be played under the lights. This Iowa teams comes into the week with a 7-2 record with their only losses being to Ohio State (when they still had a healthy Julian Sayin) and at Minnesota. In their 3 remaining games including Saturday night, Iowa is going to attempt to get to 10-2 and try and reach the College Football Playoff for the first time in school history. The Hawkeyes are currently ranked #19 in the CFP but a new set of rankings will drop this week. Iowa’s previous closest attempt at the playoff was 2015 where a 12-0 Hawkeyes team lost in the Big Ten Championship to Michigan State. The Spartans would go on to jump the Hawkeyes in the CFP rankings and take the slot from Kirk Ferentz and company before getting blown out by eventual champion, Alabama, in the Cotton Bowl.
