DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A popular Democrat seeking to challenge U.S. Rep. David Young for Iowa’s third congressional district has failed to qualify for the primary after a last-minute effort to resubmit paperwork fell short. Businesswoman Theresa Greenfield says she resubmitted petition signatures Friday to be on the June 5 ballot after her now former campaign manager told her he forged some signatures. The Iowa Secretary of State’s Office announced Monday that Greenfield failed to submit enough signatures.

DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — A 20-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to charges that he drove onto and damaged the Iowa baseball field made famous by the 1989 “Field of Dreams” movie. The Telegraph Herald reports that Austin Pape, of Dyersville, entered a written plea before his arraignment scheduled for Monday in Dubuque.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Police say a man found dead outside a Cedar Rapids house is suspected of shooting a man found inside the home. Officers were sent there around 4:40 a.m. Monday. They say the man found dead outside died of what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot. The man inside was taken to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City. Their names haven’t been released.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has announced that wreckage of a sunken military ship on which five brothers died in World War II has been discovered in the South Pacific. A spokeswoman for Allen confirms wreckage from the USS Juneau was found Saturday on the sea floor, off the coast of the Solomon Islands. The ship was hit by Japanese torpedoes in 1942, killing hundreds of men, including the five Sullivan brothers from Waterloo, Iowa.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — An Iowa woman said her 5-year-old daughter drowned in just seconds after falling into a river during a family visit to a popular park in Sioux Falls. Maggie Jo Zaiger, of Audubon, had reached out to touch the foam near some waterfalls when she slipped into the Big Sioux River in Falls Park near a pedestrian bridge Sunday, police said. The girl’s mother, Courtney Jayne, said she did not know that her daughter would suddenly decide to lean over and touch the pile of foam. “It wasn’t that we weren’t paying attention,” Jayne told the Argus Leader on Monday. “There were seven of us. It literally happened in 30 seconds. …There was nothing we could do, and it was horrible.”

The family had come to South Dakota with a friend and had been in Sioux Falls for a few days. The park was a last-minute stop for the family before the trip home. The drowning happened not far from where two other people drowned in 2013. Sioux Falls parks and recreation director Don Kearney said after the 2013 deaths that the city upgraded its caution signs to warn adults to keep close watch on young children, among other things. Kearney said the foam is a naturally occurring phenomenon created by phosphorus and the agitated water.

The city considered installing barricades near the falls, but felt that would create a false sense of security, Kearny said. “They felt like it would impede public safety’s ability to respond quickly, to have to remove fence,” Kearny told KELO.com . But he said fencing will be part of a safety review following the weekend drowning.
