Letter to the editor: An ode to Glide and Go Skate City

In the last six months in Iowa City, something miraculous occurred and most people weren’t even aware of it. A tiny universe both formed and collapsed into a black hole. I was one of the lucky few who got to experience Iowa City’s first and only roller rink. And just when it was starting to shine and grow, it was gone. Glide and Go Skate City was born in the old Sycamore Mall, now called Iowa City Marketplace. This beautiful creation was the art and soul of entrepreneur Alicia Crews.

Family of UIHC patient paid $875K after brain infection

IOWA CITY — After a 61-year-old Wright County man who previously suffered a brain aneurysm died in June 2023 from an unrelated fungal infection, University of Iowa Health Care has agreed to pay his family $875,000 “to avoid the risks of future litigation and trial.” James Deimerly’s family sued the state for its oversight of UIHC in December 2024 — accusing Deimerly’s UI care team of negligence for failing to conduct a “fundus examination” of the patient’s eyes, diagnose and treat meningitis, and diagnose and treat intracranial pressure. “UIHC is vicariously liable for the negligent acts of its doctors, nurses, assistants, nurse practitioners, therapists, agents, and other health care professionals who may have provided care to Jim Deimerly,” according to allegations in the lawsuit, which state attorneys have denied. “The death of Jim Deimerly, along with the resulting harms and damages, would not have occurred but for the negligence of providers at UIHC.” More than three years ago on June 17, 2023, Deimerly came to UIHC complaining of seizure-like activity for a week, a severe headache, frequent hiccups and nausea, according to the family’s lawsuit. He was told to continue anti-seizure medication and given additional tests — such as a

Iowa City schools audit reveals district had less money in fiscal 2025 than initially reported

IOWA CITY — The Iowa City school district had almost $38 million less money than it reported in a Certified Annual Report to the state in November 2025, a new audit shows. The fiscal 2025 audit shows the district ended that year June 30, 2025, with $24.5 million across all funds. That’s similar to districts with an enrollment of 3,000 students, according to an analysis of Certified Annual Reports from districts statewide. The Iowa City school district’s enrollment is about 14,400 students. The audit also shows that a capital projects fund — the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy, or PPEL — had a balance of $19.4 million but only $140,633 in cash at the end of fiscal 2025. Another capital projects fund — Secure An Advanced Vision for Education, or SAVE — owed PPEL $20.8 million. The money was used to pay SAVE’s debt payment on time. Overspending Last month, the Iowa City district shared that it overspent SAVE by more than $45 million over four fiscal years, using a fund primarily reserved to pay teacher and staff salaries to spend beyond its means. The fiscal 2025 audit revealed that SAVE was overspent by $33.5 million as of June 30,

F-86 fighter jet staying grounded at Iowa City Airport

IOWA CITY — A plane that’s always greeted visitors at the Iowa City Airport underwent a big makeover thanks to dedicated veterans in the area. For the last several decades, a North American F-86 Sabre jet has sat at the entrance to the airport, sad Bob Dane, coordinator for the Save the Sabre committee. The jet has been there for years, intended as a memorial for veterans. Every 10 years or so, the jet needs work done on the body; a new paint job, rust buffed out. The care is the responsibility of the Iowa City Airport, Dane said, but with costs rising everywhere, it wasn’t a high priority. “They actually have a line item in the Airport Commission budget for maintenance and upkeep of the plane, but it’s probably Item 30, and they run out of money about 23,” he said. In March, the airport commission sent out an email to local veterans groups, and local airports, asking if anyone would like to take over the care of the plane. The Clinton Municipal Airport responded, and was willing to pay for the shipping of the plane, and any care it may need going forward. A video went viral on

Johnson County Conservation settles open meetings lawsuit

The Johnson County Conservation Board has settled with the estate of former conservation director Larry Gullet and former operations superintendent Wade Schultz over an open records dispute. The lawsuit was filed by Gullett's widow, Connie Gullett, and Schultz over records from closed sessions held by the conservation board in 2024 that allegedly discussed "specific law enforcement matters," concerning an investigation or audit. A 2025 state audit found that Johnson County Conservation misused or misappropriated more than $90,000 in funds between 2019 and 2024. The report specifically mentioned two Johnson County employees − Schultz and Gullet, who were placed on immediate administrative leave on June 6, 2024. Larry Gullet died in September 2024 , and the lawsuit was filed by his widow on his behalf, according to court filings. More: Iowa Regents to choose new leader for UI center after rocky start The county disclosed the minutes and audio recordings of three closed sessions cited in Gullett and Schultz's original complaint during litigation, but as part of the settlement, both parties agreed to keep the records confidential.
