In Marion, the City Council held salary increases and a 3 percent raise for non union staff while awaiting trust resolution. They funded projects through June and retroactively restored raises to January 1, questioning how $52 000 needed for raises and holds will be found if funds do not recover. Public concern grows over library land purchase and higher running costs.
A reader recalls joining Jehovah’s Witnesses after believing a 1975 end of world forecast. Fourteen years of door to door preaching, strict rules, and child bans followed before leaving under painful shunning. Four years later they rebuilt lives in Christ and warn others to beware.
The letter defends unwavering support for Catholic schooling despite Rob Johnson’s Jan 28 column urging a fresh central Catholic high school. It argues energy and funds should have renovated existing campuses, accuses decision-makers and a costly consultant of missteps, and says consolidation would be reality today had different choices been made.
A patient recalls a Marshalltown hospital with a dedicated smoking room and floor access for smokers, contrasting Cedar Rapids facilities with stricter bans. The writer argues smokers are human too and urges wider adoption of humane smoking policies in hospitals.
A reader laments a judge ordering a family to part with a child and criticizes Iowa adoption laws. The piece questions whether laws favor birth parents over adoptive families, calls for fairness, and urges legal reforms to consider the child's best interests and shared costs.
