Des Moines Police Chief Judy Bradshaw announced her plans to call it quits after 34 years with Iowa’s largest department…

When asked if she’s prepared for retirement the longtime cop said, “Coffee and donuts every morning? Yeah, I think I’m prepared.”

Rabbit hunting season opened last weekend across the state of Iowa…

So, hey, be vewy, vewy quiet.

It’s official, hunky Iowa farmer Chris Soules will be introduced to 25 women vying for his love on the next season of “The Bachelor”…

Getting to know that many suitors may seem daunting to some, but farmer Chris said he’s currently spreading his seed on more than 5,000 acres, so a couple dozen women should be a piece of cake.

And, in sports, the Iowa Barnstormers will leave the Arena Football League and join the smaller-market Indoor Football League…

Team owners tried to reassure fans by reminding them the Indoor Football League is still one step up from the Living Room Football League. CV
