  • A message from Police Chief Ken Stanley:
    
    
    Recently a number of unlocked vehicles in the city have been entered with loose change and some electronic devices being stolen. While it is unsettling to have crime in your neighborhood, all of the vehicles were unlocked and no theft involved forced entry. Keeping your vehicles locked is a simple preventative measure.
    
    As always, keep a watchful eye for suspicious persons and call the non-emergency dispatch number 319-356-6800 or 911 to report a possible crime in progress.

Shortly after the death of her husband in 1975, Phyllis decided to further her education and moved to Iowa City and entered the PhD program at the University of Iowa and in 1980 she received her doctorate in Educational Administration through the College of Education. At the University of Iowa, Phyllis served as a lecturer, supervisor of student teachers, teacher and consultant until her retirement in 1990.
