LECLAIRE, Iowa (AP) — Housing will replace golfing on scenic land in eastern Iowa as a family sells property they have owned for generations. The Quad-City Times reports that Susan Leander has closed Olathea Golf Course near LeClaire and is putting the nearly 100 acres on the market.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa is tweaking its new state-funded family planning program that excludes abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood by restoring some eligibility to a large hospital system.
