IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — University of Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz and his wife have won another round in a neighborhood fight. The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports that a judge’s ruling issued Wednesday affirms the Ferentzes do not owe neighbors around $9,600 for road maintenance and don’t have to remove landscaping that affords them privacy from intrusive football fans.

A homeowners association set up by the neighbors sued the Ferentzes in March 2016, accusing they’d breached a contract and committed trespass. A judge ruled in September 2017 that the Ferentzes weren’t required to join the association. The Iowa Supreme Court declined to hear the neighbors’ appeal, setting up what became a nonjury trial on Feb. 12-13 to hear the remaining claims.

The legal dispute is scheduled to continue in court in June next year on another breach-of-contract claim against Kirk and Mary Ferentz.

The 25-year-old former University of Northern Iowa softball player pulled over along U.S. Highway 218 and died. The bullet also struck one of her passengers: her 32-year-old boyfriend, Adam Kimball. He was hospitalized and the bullet was recovered.

At least $58,000 has been offered as a reward for information leading to an arrest. The Mass is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. today (Friday) at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Lenexa, Kansas. She had been living in Waterloo since graduating in 2016 from the university.

(Radio Iowa) the reward for information in Sunday’s fatal Waterloo highway shooting of a former University of Northern Iowa softball player continues to grow.
Waterloo police announced Thursday the reward had increased to 58-thousand dollars.

Authorities are trying to figure out where the bullet came from and who fired the shot that struck and killed Micalla Rettinger, as she drove across the Cedar River bridge on U-S Highway 218. Police say investigators have received several tips from the public and each one is being pursued. The FBI is involved in the case.

A funeral mass for the 25-year-old Rettinger is set for this (Friday) afternoon in her hometown of Lenexa, Kansas.
