TRT: 4:45
Hello, my name is Dallas Jones and I am a graduate of the University of Iowa. While I work I studied journalism and mass communication along with Sports and Recreational Management. Also here, I worked with recording editing anchoring and weather. My dream job would be to host my own sports talk show and I look forward to all the adventures leading up to that. Now let’s take a look at my work.
The longest serving Representative in the Iowa house is switching his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat. In his announcement yesterday representative Andy McKean said he returned politics in 2016, he returned to a republican party that he did not recognize. Citing President Trump as a factor in that decision. McKean’s decision leaves Republicans with a 53 to 47 majority in the house with Republicans brushing it off and Democrats claiming victory. McKean has served in the legislator for nearly 30 years and said that he plans to run for reelection as a Democrat in the 2020 election.
Looking at your Tuesday evening will have a low of 43° with mostly clear skies. Moving into the night, the skies will begin to cloud up while you are cramming for those exams and it will stay cloudy to partly cloudy for the morning with your temperature right around 45°.
Looking at your moon phase for tonight will be a waning gibbous with the visibility of 82% and dropping, if you were hoping to catch the full moon, I’m afraid you were a couple days late, but not to worry. The next full moon will be coming around during the third week of May and since will be out of school hopefully have more time to catch a glimpse of that white orb up in the sky.
Now looking at your extended forecast, tomorrow will bring a nice even 70° high with a low of 46 with partly cloudy skies. Thursday is looking pretty average is well with a high of 72 and a low 46 . You’re night hours will clear things up and moving into your Friday. We will start off the weekend with a slightly cooler 67° and the low in the upper 40s. Those clear skies won’t be alone for long at the clouds come back with a vengeance and bring some showers with it. Saturday has a high in the lower 60s and the low in the 40s with a 60% chance of rain showers that rain should come down late into dinner time, but the clouds will stick around for your Sunday with a high in the mid 60s and a little in the upper 40s.
So guys we have a pretty decent few days coming up and I tell you I know a lot of students including myself really need it.
.
Behind every sporting event at UI is the Athletic Facilities department. The “Crewhawks” are a group of over forty student that work in this department and help make sure all of the events run smoothly. So at the end of the year the department likes to give back and let them have a little fun. DITV reporter Dallas Jones is here with more.
A chance to play at Carver Hawkeye arena is not an opportunity many students get and the Crewhawks make sure to get the most of it.
Now after a long year of football games, wrestling meets, track meets, and basketball games. The crew gets to take their own steps on the court and play a game for themselves.
Definitely I mean this, the banquet, they are just kinda things that show that you are appreciated and that all your hard work, it pays off here.
This is not only some of the Crewhawks playing in an arena, but also all being together at one time.
Well I always know the jobs not like, you know, fun all the time, but this is the best way to make sure everyone has the team chemistry build up, they have fun.
The department also holds a banquet at the end of the year to bring the whole crew together and an opportunity to win free Iowa gear.
This is a thing from them so that they know that you know all your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.
In the case of the Crewhawks, hard work truly does pay off. In Iowa City, this is Dallas Jones, DITV.
The year long wait is finally over. Iowa city audiences will see the culmination of the Marvel cinematic universe tonight. Avengers: Endgame is the follow-up to Infinity War in which Thanos secures all the infinity stones and wipes out half the universe with just a snap of his fingers. Fans are eager to see how it pans out, but are sad for the end of the marvel era and the end of some of their favorite heroes director Joe and Anthony Russo have said that this will be the final film for some avengers, saying no hero is off the table however it is as Tony Stark says “part of the journey is the end.”
