This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette Digital News Desk, and I'm here with your update for Thursday, August 3.According to the National Weather Service there will be areas of fog before 10 a.m. in the Cedar Rapids area. Otherwise, it will be partly sunny, with a high near 90 degrees. On Thursday night it will be partly cloudy, with a low of around 69 degrees.More was revealed Wednesday about a sports gambling investigation that now involves both Iowa State and University of Iowa athletes.Three months after the UI and ISU confirmed some of their student-athletes were being investigated for betting on sports in violation of NCAA rules, charges have been filed against seven current and former athletes at the schools.The seven were charged with tampering with records as part of the state's “ongoing” investigation, which could still result in more charges.The three current Iowa State athletes facing charges are quarterback Hunter Dekkers, wrestler Paniro Johnson and offensive lineman Dodge Sauser. Former Iowa State defensive lineman Enyi Uwazurike, who was a fourth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, also faces the tampering charge.Current Iowa kicker Aaron Blom, former Iowa men's basketball guard Ahron Ulis and former Iowa baseball catcher Gehrig Christensen face the same charge, which is an aggravated misdemeanor.Court documents allege the athletes made sports wagers in accounts under others' names.The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, which has been leading the investigation, said in a statement Wednesday its investigation into Iowa and Iowa State athletes “is ongoing and may result in the filing of additional charges.”Iowa indicated 26 current athletes were involved in the sports gambling probe, and Iowa State had “approximately 15” current athletes involved.Not every player known to be involved in the NCAA's sports wagering investigation has been charged in law enforcement's sports gambling investigation.Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said she will use federal COVID-19 relief dollars to cover all expenses for the deployment of Iowa National Guard soldiers and state law enforcement officers to Texas to assist with security along the southern border.Reynolds announced 109 soldiers from the Iowa National Guard on Wednesday deployed to Texas in support of Operation Lone Star, with the mission of “deterring illegal border crossings and preventing the trafficking of illegal substances by cartels through Texas.” The deployment will last until Sept. 1, the governor's office said.Iowa State Patrol officers will deploy Aug. 31 for a separate 30-day stint to support Texas state troopers with criminal interdiction, crime prevention, traffic enforcement and law enforcement assistance. An investigative team also will support Texas investigations of narcotics, weapons and human trafficking along the border, according to a news release from the governor's office. That deployment will end Oct. 2.

Offensive line has been a calling card for Kirk Ferentz during his time as a football coach. He believes that we'll see a big step forward from the Iowa football offensive line this upcoming season. Can we believe him? Trent Condon returns for another edition of the Locked on Hawkeye Podcast and tackles that question and many others on the offensive line. What kind of step forward do we see from Logan Jones after his first year at center? Can transfer additions Rusty Feth and Daijon Parker help out this much maligned group? Is Mason Richman the next great Iowa tackle? And can Kirk Ferentz, Brian Ferentz and offensive line coach George Barnett find the right combination early in the season? Former Hawkeye basketball player Ahron Ulis is also in some potential trouble. Could it be a link to back in the gambling investigation? We speculate on that. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

In the latest episode of Half-Court Press, Joel Lorenzi and Sam McKewon take a look at the new additions to the Creighton and Nebraska men's basketball teams. The duo start by breaking down the Jays' latest commits — Brock Vice and Johnathan Lawson — and how they will fit in Creighton's lineup next season. After a brief discussion on the NBA Combine vs. the NFL Combine, Joel and Sam turn their attention to the Huskers. They look at the benefits of adding Iowa transfer point guard Ahron Ulis, especially since he is already familiar with the Big Ten. They also examine how a connection to Fred Hoiberg might have led to him commit to Nebraska. The two then discuss "the heck of an addition" Josiah Allick and why he is coming to Nebraska. They close out the podcast with a look at the players who have left both NU and CU, and who will be an NCAA tournament team next season.Support the show: https://www.omaha.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since a pair of newspapermen challenged each other to ride their bikes across the state in 1973, what has evolved into the internationally-known Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa has included Johnson County among its overnight stops on eight occasions. But Coralville officials felt especially compelled to bid for a featured role in this year's July 22-29 route — given the 50th year of RAGBRAI aligns with a meaningful occasion for the city: its 150th anniversary. The city got its wish Saturday when RAGBRAI announced its 2023 route will weave through Coralville on July 28 — marking the city's sixth time as an overnight host. The full RAGBRAI route will start July 22 along the Missouri River in Sioux City and make overnight stops in Storm Lake, Carroll, Ames, Des Moines, Tama-Toledo, and Coralville. The route's final day will take riders to Davenport and its banks of the Mississippi River on July 29 — the same place the first cross-state expedition wrapped five decades ago.Two dogs were killed in a Cedar Rapids house fire Saturday and a cat was rescued, according to the Cedar Rapids Fire Department.
