Good morning, Dubuque. Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 26th of June.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • With the holiday weekend nearing, barge companies on the Mississippi River are telling boaters to keep a safe distance from loaded barges that move 5 to 10 mph—since a full barge takes over a mile to stop. American Commercial Barge Line advises boaters to follow tips—like turning on lights and keeping alert—to help prevent accidents on the water.  KWWL

CRIME NEWS

  • After his preliminary hearing yesterday, 26-year-old Bailey Foht was charged in the hit and run death of 38-year-old Kalissa Reeder, who was struck at the Locust and Loras intersection, and his arraignment will be held on July 7th as he faces two felony charges of homicide by vehicle, two charges of involuntary manslaughter and a driving while barred charge.  Radio Dubuque

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • The Dubuque Metro Area Solid Waste Agency offers certified compost that meets or exceeds United States Composting Council standards for consumer use. Residents can self-load less than one cubic yard for free at four locations — the Dubuque County Landfill entrance, the Municipal Services Center, the City of Epworth, and Cascade — while larger quantities require scheduled appointments at the agency’s compost facility.  Radio Dubuque

SPORTS NEWS

  • The Beckman Blazers, with 10 wins in their last 11 games, are nearing a River Valley North championship as they head into today's home doubleheader against Anamosa—winning one game secures a share of the title—while winning both will crown them outright.  The Gazette
  • The Iowa High School Athletic Association released substate pairings for Class 3A and 4A baseball that will begin on July 11, with matchups including Marion hosting Vinton-Shellsburg in 3A and Cedar Rapids Xavier playing Fort Madison in Substate 6. Coaches say the brackets set a challenging path for teams, as seeding in 4A places Iowa City Liberty, Cedar Rapids Prairie and City High in top spots + every game counts toward a playoff advance.  The Gazette
