Apartment for Rent OPERA COMES TO IOWA CITY 80 HOURS. PAGE 1B THURSDAY, JULY 28, 2011 Dems want ID of GOP bundlers At a press conference Out-of-state workers spark ire Wednesday, Sue Dvorsky, the chair- woman of the Iowa Democratic Party, and Sen. Jeff Danielson, D- Cedar Falls, called on Republican presidential-nomination candi- dates to disclose the names of their campaigns’ major fundrais- ers, according to a press release from the Iowa Democratic Party. The two contended that a public knowledge of bundlers — as the major fundraisers are known — is in the interest of Iowans. “If the Republican candidates for president aren’t forthcoming about who exactly is helping them to get elected, how can we know for sure that those same people won’t be calling in favors if their candidate wins election to the White House,” Dvorsky said at the conference. Dvorsky also stressed trans- parency and accountability as a reason for naming bundlers. President Obama recently made public his major contributors, according to the release, having done the same for his 2008 cam- paign. Danielson said at the conference he was shocked that no Republican candidate had not yet volunteered the disclosure of her or his major fundraisers. — by Ariana Witt Palin to hit Iowa in September Former Alaska Gov.

Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, held a press conference to propose the idea June 6. This comes in response to con- stant flooding throughout the nation and after the Iowa flood of 2008. The bill, titled National Flood Research and Education Center Act, was intro- duced June 16.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • The Year of the River Incredible Damage
    THE YEAR OF THE RIVER Long before the floodwaters arrived, Cedar Rapids had designated 2008 as “The Year of the River” to celebrate the city’s connection to the Cedar River. The slogan also commemorated the 100th anniversary of the city’s purchase of May’s Island, a downtown, midchannel slice of land about the size and shape of a battleship. But the phrase quickly took on a new meaning after the river crested at over 31 feet above flood stage — and more than 11 feet above the previous record of 19.66 feet set National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library. in 1961. About 60 percent of Iowa’s total 2008 flood damage occurred in Cedar Rapids.
