The Canadian company that likes Bob Marley shirts and seeks to buy Iowa-based Casey’s is urging shareholders to elect its slate of eight candidates to the convenience store chain’s board of directors.

Waukee residents voted down a proposed home based web business center Tuesday, despite an apparent lack of organized opposition to the plan.
Little opposition was expressed at meetings about the aquatic center, which would have included a lazy river, a six-lane lap pool, two water slides and a smaller pool filled with play equipment. “I never really heard any opposition toward it,” Watts said. “I support it, but it’s not my decision. I honor whatever the voters said. They said no at this time, so we listen.”
