Iowa’s Cael Winter discusses the Cy-Hawk rivalry

By Evan Denton,

1 days ago

The Cy-Hawk game between Iowa and Iowa State is a matchup the state of Iowa waits for each year.

In this year's game, there are 64 Iowans on the two rosters combined.

One of them is Cael Winter, Iowa's center. He's a Des Moines native who grew up in the thick of the rivalry. On top of that, the Hawkeye had an interesting viewpoint of the rivalry within his parents' home.

"Both my parents graduated from Iowa State so I kind of was forced into being an Iowa State fan growing up," Winter said. "Then I'd always watch the games and I'd see that Iowa always had the best linemen so I always told my parents I'd want to play for Iowa if I got the chance. They made a pretty smooth transition, and they're all in for the Hawks now."

Washing food usually sounds like a sensible safety step. But when certain raw foods are placed under a running faucet, that rinse can make your kitchen less safe -- not more. Water does not reliably remove the harmful bacteria that may be present on raw animal products. Instead, droplets can carry those germs into the sink, onto countertops and utensils, and even onto nearby food.

Cops do more harm than good busting drug dealers, doctor tells Denver council

Yes, Dr. Sarah Axelrath of Colorado Coalition for the Homeless told the Denver City Council Monday. Axelrath, an addiction medicine specialist, said going after drug traffickers doesn’t make people stop using substances. In fact, she said it disrupts “an already potent and unpredictable drug supply.” Demand doesn’t go down after a bust. New players come to market who could be peddling an even more toxic product.

This Tiny Puppy Doesn’t Know He’s “Different”, He Just Knows He Wants Someone to Love

PAWS New England reports that Sazerac, an 11-week-old male puppy currently in New England, is still waiting for a home after the rest of their litter, and even their mama, were adopted. According to PAWS New England, Sazerac has vision loss in one eye and diminished vision in the other, a condition the rescue says has likely contributed to being overlooked despite otherwise typical puppy behavior.

Florida’s LGBTQ Capital Descends Into Mayhem: Accusations of Revenge, Censorship & Scheming Mount

*This article was created, researched, and developed entirely without any use of AI. By Senior Staff Writer Edmond Thorne for OmniCom MultiMedia. Florida News Network: Wilton Manors — This Island City covers less than two square miles, yet like an episode of Knots Landing, its political fights can feel bigger and more bitter than those in Fort Lauderdale or Tallahassee. The city’s elections are officially nonpartisan (wink). There is no Republican or Democratic label beside a candidate’s name. Wilton Manors also made national history in 2018 by electing an entirely LGBTQ City Commission. Still, shared identity has not produced political peace or tranquility.

7 Woolworth's Lunch Counter Dishes From the 1950s and 1960s

F.W. Woolworth ran lunch counters inside its five-and-dime stores for decades, and by the mid-1950s those counters were a fixture of downtown shopping in cities and small towns across the country. You sat on a round spinning stool, ordered off a laminated card clipped above the counter, and got a full hot plate for right around fifty cents. The food came fast because the cooks had made it a hundred times that week, and the chain was still running close to two thousand of these counters as late as 1964.

Four-Ingredient Southern Hoecakes Prove Simple Food Can Shine

Plain yellow cornmeal, milk or water, an egg, and bacon grease or oil become crisp-edged skillet cakes with tender golden centers. The hot fat creates delicate, lacy borders while the thin batter cooks into a rustic corn flavor that feels deeply connected to traditional Southern kitchens. There is no lengthy resting period, special equipment, or expensive ingredient list involved. A cast-iron skillet and a few pantry basics are enough to produce something warm and satisfying, demonstrating exactly why hoecakes have remained useful across generations.

7 Home Ec Recipes That 60s and 70s Teenagers Never Stopped Making

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Home economics class sat in the back corner of most American high schools through the 1960s and 1970s, and for a lot of teenagers it was the first time they cooked something from start to finish without anyone finishing it for them. The curriculum covered yeast bread, rolled cookies, simple casseroles, and basic pastry. Recipes came from a classroom cookbook or a mimeographed sheet from the teacher herself, who had often been running the same course for years.

“How Has NO ONE Applied?”: Little Mandy Is Still Waiting for Someone to Choose Her

Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Massachusetts, says it can’t understand why a small senior dog named Mandy has drawn no interest, posting an emotional plea that begins, “How has NO ONE applied for this girl?! Not a single application, phone call, nothing. What? How? WHY?” The shelter describes Mandy as an affectionate “velcro pup” who “will glue herself to you and never leave,” adding that while she enjoys walks “at a brisk dawdle,” she’d “much rather be in your lap or curled up next to you, as long as she’s touching you somehow.”
