Indy 500 Spotlight: Caitlin Clark is officially the Indianapolis 500 grand marshal, set to give the starting command Sunday after her Fever schedule finally lines up with race week. Local Schools, Weather Interruptions: In Marshalltown, a tornado warning cut into a school board meeting, but the district still approved key “Reimagine Miller” construction items, including glazing and auditorium alternates. Workforce-to-Real Jobs: In Iowa Falls, an AEA partnership is moving students from low-pressure practice work (like mock shops) into community internships—six of 16 this year landed permanent roles. Waterloo Hockey: Brett Olson, a former Black Hawks player and longtime staffer, was named head coach, aiming to keep the program’s momentum. Culture & Community: Waterloo’s Bluedorn Science Imaginarium will be demolished despite a buyer offer, while Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a package of bills touching healthcare, abortion access, and radon mitigation.
