St. Mary’s Catholic Church project hits snag in Iowa City

IOWA CITY — St. Mary’s Catholic Church has hit multiple roadblocks on its way to a multimillion-dollar construction project but is hoping for a green light from the Iowa City Council on Tuesday night. The church, at 228 E. Jefferson St., would like to tear down two church-owned houses — at 302 and 306 E. Jefferson St. — so it can build a new parish hall. The problem is the houses sit on a street that’s in a historic district. The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission denied the request to proceed with the project in a 4-3 vote at its October meeting. The church plans to appeal that decision to the Iowa City Council on Tuesday. The Rev. Andrew Rauenbuehler said the church has been working on a long-term campus plan for well over a year. The church has been on the corner of Jefferson and Linn streets since the 1840s and has no plans to move but does want to build for the future. In the main church building, accessibility and functionality are challenges, with the church wanting to install main-level restrooms and expand the functionality of the parish hall downstairs. “The biggest project, and the one we have

FAA ground stop forced Purdue football off plane, onto buses for game at Iowa

WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue football's departure for Saturday's game at Iowa was delayed due to the nationwide ground stop announced by the FAA . The plane loaded with Boilermakers players, coaches and other staff boarded at 3:15 p.m. for a scheduled 3:45 takeoff, per a program spokesperson. The team was ready to depart Purdue University Airport when the ground stop was ordered. Instead, a source told IndyStar, the Boilermakers deplaned and boarded buses to Iowa City − a roughly five-hour drive. That included loading four buses with luggage, players, coaches and staff before pulling out of the airport around 6:05 p.m. Purdue's game at Kinnick Stadium is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. Saturday for an NBC broadcast. It is not yet known how much the delay will disrupt Purdue's pregame schedule on Saturday, if at all. The FAA issued the directive Friday afternoon, citing extraordinary circumstances and safety concerns stemming from an air-traffic control issue. All departing aircraft were instructed to remain on the ground until further notice. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the ground stop followed a communication issue affecting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. ESPN's Adam Rittenberg reported all officiating crews for Big Ten games

Williamsburg High School junior starts videography business

WILLIAMSBURG — Wes Stoner is ahead of the curve. The Williamsburg High School junior started making videos while still in elementary school and started his own videography limited liability company as a high school student in 2025. As a local business owner, he’s a member of the Williamsburg Area Chamber of Commerce. Stoner, who lives near Parnell, said he started taking videos in sixth grade, recording games for a new wiffle ball league. The summer of his seventh-grade year, Stoner began recording Williamsburg High School football games. The Raiders went to state that year. Stoner also shot video for Williamsburg wrestling, basketball and some baseball games, he said. He posted them on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. “I was just doing it because I wanted to,” said Stoner. Williamsburg football coach, Curt Ritchie, who is now head football coach for Cornell College, gave Stoner access to the field so he could record the games. Today, Stoner Productions has its own website, stonerprodz.com/ and Stoner sells his services to local businesses. He also works for Crush I.T., helping clients with marketing.

UI's Richard O. Jacobson Hospital namesake honors record $70M donation

The University of Iowa Health Care's main campus will be renamed in honor of a $70 million gift originally meant for a recently nixed inpatient tower. The university's main hospital on the west side of campus will be renamed for the late Iowan Richard O. Jacobson, who died in 2016 at the age of 79. In 2022, his foundation donated $70 million to UIHC for a planned $1 billion inpatient tower canceled in September 2026 due to financial pressures from Medicaid spending cuts. More: UI nixes new cancer research center, plans $13M pharmacy lab instead Jacobson's $70 million, the largest such donation in UI history, will be used to renovate and modernize UI Health Care's existing facilities. This is in addition to $330 million UI Health Care will use to increase patient capacity, though the Iowa Board of Regents has not approved any formal plans.

Vanderbilt vs. Iowa women's basketball leads weekend watch guide

When Shea Ralph took over as the head coach at Vanderbilt in 2021, scheduling was easy. Everyone wanted to play the Commodores as they were coming off five consecutive losing seasons. This past offseason? Not so much. After advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009 and winning a program-record 13 games in SEC play, fewer teams are willing to take on the Commodores in non-conference play . Simply put, with Ralph on the sidelines and the likes of Mikayla Blakes and Aubrey Galvan on the court, Vanderbilt is no longer an easy victory. They're a tough out. “It was much more difficult than I had anticipated. This was my first time experiencing that as a head coach. Shoot, my first two years, everybody wanted to play us,” Ralph told USA TODAY Sports this week. “We had a hard time getting opponents. I didn’t know if we were going to get a premier home game. But also, we need to be able to have these kinds of challenges early in our season if we're serious about accomplishing the goals that we say we want to accomplish. Our schedule needs to reflect that.” Vanderbilt
