The Cedar Rapids Water Department begins a new channel project along the Cedar River to access more water for city wells amid continuing drought. The report notes a broader debate on gun violence research and policy effectiveness, highlighting gaps in evidence guiding controls.
The annual Marn United Way event remembers Martin Luther King Jr and honors local students. The ceremony recognizes area youths and highlights community service and education efforts in the region.
Senate Democrats propose a 4 percent base funding increase for K-12 schools for fiscal year 2014 starting July 1. The plan would provide about 134 million dollars from the general fund and shift 38.5 million from the taxpayer trust fund to cover the property tax effects of the boost, including 16 million to support the school aid share and 22 million to reduce inequities between property rich and poor districts. Senate leaders argue reserves can cover the cost and urge more state aid for basic school needs.
The Gazette reports Rev. Steve Witt, 64, a husband and father, is ordained in the Davenport Diocese. He notes his life experience and prior marriage shape his later vocation, a path less common among priests. Across the United States second career clergy are few but often stay longer in service.
Witt, a Clinton native and former son of a nine child Catholic family, raised a family in Iowa before becoming a priest. He now serves at St Marys Catholic Church and the Newman Catholic Student Center in Iowa City, where his oldest daughter Courtney Vassiliades and her family reside. He has two other children and three grandchildren.
The University of Iowa athletics department ran expenses of 104.66 million in 2012, exceeding revenue by 6.755 million as capital projects and facility improvements ramped up. Athletics Director Gary Barta said the red ink reflects planned investments and will be funded by recent gains and contributions.
