Iowa debate on under18 driver education bill stalls in Senate
State Safety Commissioner William Sueppel and Senate leaders failed to reach agreement on a bill requiring persons under 18 to complete driver education before licenses. The measure, passed by the House 114 to 5, faced delays amid questions about mandatory district offerings and private school impact. The sponsor, Sueppel, argued most districts already teach driver education, while Frommelt urged ensuring courses are available to all youths. The bill would pay districts 30 dollars per student completing the course and remains under review as talks continue.

Young explorer rescued from cave in Utah
A 22 year old UC graduate student James Dowling from Connersville Indiana was hoisted from Neggs Cave in the Wasatch Mountains after a three hour effort. He was delivered to a Salt Lake City hospital in critical condition with shock and exhaustion. Dowling and two companions entered the 1170 foot deep cave Sunday morning and Dowling became trapped the next day near the cave’s great pit after his companions tired and could not reach him. A nine member rescue team ultimately reached him and brought him to a ledge where he was not yet removed from the pit.
