Circa is an energetic 8-year-old dog who is the Pet of the Week at the Dubuque Regional Humane Society—she weighs about 50 pounds, is crate trained, and is available for adoption for $125.

Dubuque Regional Airport reported a 35% rise in enplanements from the first quarter after starting a new daily flight schedule mid-May, and Denver Air Connection’s trips to O’Hare saw a 27% jump.

The schedule offers a 7:50 a.m. departure and a 5:55 p.m. return — boosting local travel.

Today, the Dyersville Area Historical Society faces a $5,000 funding gap after Dubuque County denied a grant to cover its utility bills — pushing the nonprofit to dip into its savings and seek donations.

County Supervisor Harley Pothoff explained the county approved only 14 of 20 grant requests because of limited funds.
