Ames

And, um, so, I mean, and here's how small a world it is, you know, two of the people that, um, that passed away that day, uh, were, had siblings and still in Iowa that I have, you know, I personally know, you know, which is, uh, so weird.

I grew up with one, um, family in Ames, the brother of the one of the one of the younger brothers of the of the one of the men men who passed away was uh was a classmate of mine i mean it's so it you know it tells you such what is such a small world it is and you know what a small community we are in iowa as well

it really changed a lot of people's lives i remember watching the soapbox speeches and lindsey james said that She decided to become a chaplain.

After that, she knew someone who was on that flight 93.

And, you know, that's happened more than once in this series.

You know, the last time the spread was this high was, what, Matt Campbell's first year in Ames? It was the last time it was this big.

So, you know, that's – new year for, for Iowa state.

So we'll see how they, um, see if the Hawkeyes can do what they did last week.

whoa whoa whoa easy now easy now all right all right let's

get to uh another one close to uh close to us here regionally iowa and iowa state this one will be in ames iowa for iowa state 6 30 on nbc iowa though favored by 14

iowa state just lost so much they did not look great in week one iowa just flat out dominated northern illinois And if you pay attention to their offensive line, they got some youngsters, but they got some guys who are creating some holes.

I know there's lots of question marks.

There's more new than Kirk Ferentz has ever had in his entire career there at Iowa, barring year one.

I am.

And then we have Heather joining us from Vermont and Dr. Charlie joining us from Ames, Iowa.

So we are all over the map this morning.

We're here to talk about Hurricane Melissa and the damage it did to Jamaica and the aftermath and the farmers and how it affected them and how help was brought to them.

Hello and welcome to From Agenda to Action, a City of Ames podcast that helps residents better understand the decisions being made at the Ames City Council meetings.

I'm Bill Gebhardt with City Communications and Outreach.

Today, we're going to look back at the highlights and some of the key items discussed at the September 8th Ames City Council meeting.

And to help me break it all down, I'm joined by Ames Mayor John Hala.

Mayor Hala, thanks for being here.

My pleasure, Bill.

Certainly.

Our police chief was joined by a representative from the Iowa DNR also, who's involved with these types of programs around the state.

... not feeling that way at all.

No, it was a great trip down to Ames on Wednesday.

That's, uh, uh, it was fun being part of, uh, Tyne Morgan's, uh, college roadshow that will be on-

Mm-hmm

...

US Farm Report this weekend.

Of course, the, the, I always look forward to doing that, uh, down at Ames.

And then yesterday, the time that I got to spend at the research farm up in Northeast Iowa at Nashua, uh, that was quite the event.

So getting him back, I mean, you can't go back and change the course of history, obviously.

But if he's available for that game last year at Ames, maybe the result is different.

Maybe the offense.

Because Gronowski was still kind of, I think, working in because he hadn't practiced all spring because of the shoulder thing.
