Wapello School Board agreed during its Nov. 11 monthly meeting to strike out on its own to complete several large facility projects

After holding several discussions and meetings with a Minneapolis-based engineering assessment and construction program management firm, the Wapello School Board agreed during its Nov. 11 monthly meeting to strike out on its own to complete several large facility projects. The HawkEye reports the board had met with representatives of SitelogiQ during its Oct. 20 monthly meeting and received cost estimates and other information for many of the projects identified by a facility assessment the company completed this summer. The estimates were around $5 million for projects deemed most feasible, with a more expansive project that would cost nearly $10 million. Among the work identified in the assessment were roof repairs, HVAC initiatives, electrical upgrades, restroom modifications, ceiling replacements and other efforts. The board had delayed making any decision until its November meeting, where most of its members agreed the district could handle the projects itself. SitelogiQ completed the assessment and other work at no charge to the school district. School officials did not indicate when more discussions on the projects might be held.

Iowa City Regina rolls over Sigourney-Keota in 1A playoffs

IOWA CITY — Some teams might crumble after fumbling the opening kickoff of a playoff game. Iowa City Regina leans on an equation: Events plus response equals outcome. The Regals found the outcome they wanted in all three fazes of the game. Regina forced a three-and-out after the fumbled kickoff. Holt Hinkel remedied the special teams miscue with a kickoff return touchdown, part of a 28-6 second quarter for the Regals, which ballooned into a 49-13 win over Sigourney-Keota in the second round of the Class 1A playoffs Friday, Oct. 30 in Iowa City. “That's probably what I was most proud of,” Regina coach Dustin Elsbury said. “These guys, it’s just like, ‘hey, you're not always going to have control over the event that happens in your life or football game tonight. What really matters is, hey, can you wash it? Have a short memory. Next play, get back up and have a great response,’ and those guys responded well.” Hinkel’s return made it 14-6 immediately after Ayden Galindo scored five-yard run to make it 7-6. Then, it was Regina’s stout defense and running back Gabriel Hegelheimer’s time to shine. Hegelheimer showed off his blazing speed with two rushing touchdowns
