Good morning, Des Moines.

A Des Moines family held a memorial for Matthew Ringgenburg on Sunday at a roadside site on Southwest Ninth Street near Luster Lane—where he died in a crash last June—to mark his first heavenly birthday and remind drivers to share the road; the related trial is set for May.

An owl was rescued from a truck bumper in Norwalk when police responded to a call about the bird stuck in the grill.

Iowa Bird Rehabilitation explained (it happens when owls dive too low pursuing prey) and the owl is now safe.

Six soldiers from an Army Reserve unit had their remains returned at Dover Air Force Base on March 7; Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds and the congressional delegation attended the solemn ceremony — two of the fallen were Iowans, and their remains were taken to the base’s military mortuary for final arrangements.

Dr. Wanakee Carr, one of Iowa's few Black OB-GYNs, works at the Iowa Clinic in West Des Moines & Ankeny where patients are booked five months out, highlighting a statewide shortage.

She also leads the local American Heart Association chapter and meets with lawmakers to improve care.
