Roving bear stirs mild Iowa interest and odd musings
A 250 pound black bear left Minnesota and entered Iowa heading toward Dubuque triggering humorous speculation on its motives. The column weighs in with light theory about privacy and odd food fancies, while warning residents to stay alert for the bear. It also riffs on a separate issue of Cedar River sewer leaks from city hall and courthouse waste. Mike Deupree’s weekly column notes his inability to craft a tasteful joke on the subject.

Corrections and political maneuvering reshape local and national news
Corrections note an error in the Freedom Festival calendar about the Prairie Creek Rodeo at Hawkeye Downs, while John Fitzpatrick of Cedar Rapids is correctly titled program facilitator for teaching and learning, fine arts curator of the district art collection and district historian. In Congress, a 53 45 vote rejected a bill limiting patients rights lawsuits for small employers, followed by unanimous approval of a revised amendment as pivotal changes loom. Democrats prep a TV ad urging Bush to sign a patients rights bill, blasting corporate contributions to Republicans.

Bush orders study of nuclear testing plans
The Bush administration has asked U S nuclear weapons scientists to examine how underground tests could resume quickly after a nine year moratorium. While no decision has been made to end the freeze, the review could feed fears of renewed testing and push for new low yield warheads. Critics say the move signals a broader push to resume production of nuclear weapons.
