Good morning, Des Moines.

Yesterday ICON Water Trails and its partners broke ground on the Hubbell Trailhead along the Raccoon River near Grey’s Lake—joining local officials such as Polk County Supervisor Matt McCoy and Iowa Economic Development and Finance Authority director Debi Durham—to launch a project that will enhance local outdoor recreation access.

The Des Moines Police Department said that 14-year-old Zayden and 17-year-old Alexis, who were last seen Saturday morning in the 900 block of Porter Avenue, went missing after leaving voluntarily without their prescribed medications and in blue scrubs—officials ask anyone with information to call 911.

Iowa health officials confirmed seven measles cases in 2025 — including two in vaccinated individuals — and urged residents to check their vaccination records or get an MMR booster if needed.

Health experts stress that vaccination remains the best protection and free vaccines are available at the Polk County Health Department.

A ConsumerAffairs study shows Iowa drivers have very low road rage—incidents like traffic gun violence occur at just 0.03 per 100,000 people.

Iowa’s ranking among states with aggressive drivers moved from No. 39 in 2024 to No. 50 of 51 in 2025—making it one of the calmest states on the road.
