Good morning, Dubuque.

Paul Engler, a 54-year-old from Worthington, won $250,000 in the Iowa Lottery's Payline scratch game after buying his ticket at Casey's General Store in Epworth and cashing it in at the lottery office in Cedar Rapids—he said he will use the prize for his children's college and a family vacation.

The Dubuque City Council voted 7-0 last night to keep the current list of parks allowing leashed dogs and cats, so parks like Eagle Point and Murphy will not be added.

The council also approved a pay increase — the mayor will earn $15,732 and each council member $11,799 annually starting January 1.

Iowa poll workers can now ask voters about their citizenship after Gov. Kim Reynolds signed new laws Monday, and the rules also change recount steps, ban ranked choice voting, and make it harder for third-party groups—officials say these changes will help keep elections secure.

Iowa’s Michael Caliendo claimed the 74-kilogram U23 freestyle title after he won the best-of-three series against Stanford’s Daniel Cardenas at the national championships held Sunday at the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio — while Iowa State’s Daniel Herrera won the 125-kilogram crown by sweeping his series. Both wrestlers strengthened their competitive resumes as they exit their collegiate seasons.

Area high school softball standings from games played on June 2 show Cedar Rapids Xavier leads with a 6-0 record while Williamsburg holds second at 6-1—divisional results from MVC and Wamac highlight shifts that set the stage for upcoming contests.

The Cedar Rapids Xavier girls’ soccer team advanced to the semifinals yesterday after beating Bondurant Farrar 10 to 0 at Lied Recreation Fields in Ames during rainy conditions.

They will face Dallas Center Grimes Thursday—continuing their progress in the state tournament.
