Iowa mayor addresses recall petition


IOWA, La. (KPLC) – Iowa Mayor Neal Watkins plans to address the petition for his recall, which he says is harming the town.

The 5 p.m. news conference was called concerning the Vineyards of Iowa, a multi-family housing development that will soon be under construction. Town officials said the recall committee has been spreading negativity and false statements about the project.

We will bring you the details of the mayor’s and councilmembers’ remarks on 7 News Nightcast.

The Secretary of State’s Office received the petition to recall Mayor Watkins in June. He was elected in December 2022.

Kee High School remembers legendary coach Gene Schultz


The state of Iowa lost a titan of the prep coaching world this week. Former Kee High School baseball coach Gene Schultz died on Monday at the age of 80.

Schultz spent 45 seasons as the baseball coach at Kee, helping turn the program into an Iowa dynasty. He won 9 State championships (not counting 2 fall titles, which the IHSAA doesn’t recognize in the record books), and took the Hawks to 19 State tournaments, which is also the most in Iowa history.

His 1,754 wins are not only the most in Iowa history, but the most of any high school baseball coach in the country.
