Pretty much all of Iowa was tuned into Hawkeye women’s basketball this week. Add in the indictment of a former president, and a heated Iowa legislative session, and we have a lot for you to take in this Sunday morning.
We’ll start with a poem by Huxley columnist Suzanna de Baca, followed by a new guest column by former Des Moines Register sports writer, Jane Burns. Iowa Boy, Chuck Offenburger, and sports columnist, John Naughton weigh in on the triumphant Hawks, and their star player, Caitlin Clark.
Cheryl Tevis has a fascinating revelation and personal connection to what took place on 9-11. A shocking bit of news was left out of the initial 9-11 commission report.
Mary Swander never disappoints with her stories from Buggyland, and the emerging voices she highlights.
Read each of our columnists this week. You’ll learn from Beth Hoffman, Pat Kinney, Barry Piatt, Kurt Meyer, Jane Nguyn, Teresa Zilk, and - oh yes - Ed Tibbetts writes about baseball’s Opening Day.
