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

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. Iowa City's flagship hospital will now be known as the "Richard O. Jacobson Hospital." The Iowa Board of Regents unanimously approved the hospital's new name at its Nov. 11 meeting in Ames.

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

State Auditor-elect Taylor Wettach, a Democrat from Muscatine, says maintaining the independence of the office is his primary responsibility

State Auditor-elect Taylor Wettach, a Democrat from Muscatine, says maintaining the independence of the office is his primary responsibility. He’s also considering ways the auditor’s office could make all government spending more transparent. “So folks know where their hard-earned tax dollars are going and working with folks of either party or no party to continue that sort of focus,” he said. Wettach, a 35-year-old attorney, previously worked at a major New York City law firm where he reviewed and negotiated complex financial deals. Wettach says he’s looking forward to working with the accountants, auditors and Certified Fraud Examiners in the state auditor’s office. Wettach says he will continue many of the initiatives current State Auditor Rob Sand started, like allowing staff to live outside of central Iowa since audits are done throughout the state, as well as continuing the program that recognizes local Iowa governments for efficiency efforts. Wettach says part of his job will be ensuring the non-partisan staff can do their job effectively and that means more resources. “They’re career auditors. They’re career civil servants that are experts in what they do, that have been working in that office for years and years and years and are in that office because they believe in the public service of it,” Wettach said. “They’d get paid more if they worked in the private sector. They’re there because they’re true public servants.” Wettach’s term starts January 1. Wettach defeated Republican Chris Cournoyer in last week’s election by about 6,500 votes.
