Quaker Oats plant catches fire

On Oct. 24, the largest industrial plant in the world, the Quaker Oats Plant, owned by Quaker Oats and its parent company, PepsiCo, went up in flames. This is the first fire at the plant since the June 7 fire in 2018, according to the corridor business journal. The damage was extensive with the entire 5th floor of the building being destroyed and leaving the 4th floor structurally compromised. According to Cedar Rapids Fire Fighting Battalion Chief Brooks Burkhart, “The fire building, five-story block and brick structure holding 17 silo bins that run from the basement to the 5th floor more than that it is connected to an 11-story building to the south. The report also states that the fire left a large debris and soot field to the northeast and that the damage was severe enough that no firefighters or staff at the plant were allowed in.” The firefighter response teams themselves were the first on the scene trying to put out the fire by 4:44 p.m., with other safety officials following quickly after.

What time does Iowa football play today? How to watch, TV channel vs. Purdue

As No. 15 Iowa (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten) looks to strengthen its College Football Playoff candidacy, the Hawkeyes return home to a sold-out Kinnick Stadium for a primetime clash against Purdue (3-6, 2-4 Big Ten). Thanks to back-to-back wins over Wisconsin and Northwestern, where Iowa's defense has looked sensational, Iowa has earned the No. 15 in the College Football Playoff rankings. While Purdue is not necessarily the toughest competition, Hawkeye fans have learned all too well that the Boilermakers can play spoiler in any game. Fortunately for Iowa, quarterback Hank Brown has been playing exceptionally well lately and will face a Boilermakers program that recently dismissed its defensive coordinator.

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

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
