A new candidate announced his intention to run for Iowa City Council in November. I worry sometimes we talk about Iowa City as an awful place, and why would anybody want to live here? Well, clearly there s a lot of people that do. And that s why we re growing, Glass said.
Glass is aware of where the city falls short, but he believes Iowa City s greatest blessings also add challenges.
For example: Looking at the town s offerings of business, restaurants and events, he said it s no wonder the population is growing. But that growth outpacing housing availability leads to an expensive cost of living.

Much like chemical elements, it is how one reacts to pressure that largely will determine who they become.
Exposed to just the right amount of pressure, oxygen becomes a scarlet solid and sulfur becomes an electrical conductor. Under extreme pressures, carbon atoms bond together and form crystals to create diamonds.
The same may be said about The Hawk Eye s All-Area Citizen Scholar class of 2021. These students have taken in stride a year of pandemic-induced anxieties and uncertainties, along with everything else that comes with high school and human fragility, while managing to excel academically and extracurricularly as well as give back to their community regardless of the obstacles faced.

Youth Justice Council added to state Human Rights Department
The Iowa Department of Human Rights is adding a group to its juvenile justice division, a committee made up entirely of young people.
The Youth Justice Council will be comprised of youth who have had experience in the juvenile justice system. Kayla Powell, the DHR’s youth development coordinator, says young people are known for taking action on issues.
Powell says, “I’m excited that we’ll be able to resource that energy and resource that expertise and really mobilize their ideas to get a better juvenile justice system in Iowa.” Since it’s a new approach to the state’s juvenile justice system, Powell says she’s working on making sure other committees are ready to partner with youth.
