Local control dispute brewing over Iowa mask mandates

News

August 8th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

The refusal of Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds to require Iowans to wear masks in public has prompted at least three cities and a county to impose their own local ordinances to address the coronavirus outbreak. It’s setting up what could be a legal battle over whether local officials have the authority to impose the mandates.

Local government control also has become an issue as a few school boards have said they may refuse to abide by Reynolds’ demands to open schools if they feel it’s unsafe. Some local mask ordinances are set to take effect on Monday.

Profit up 87% at Buffett’s firm but virus slows businesses

News

August 8th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Warren Buffett’s company reported an 87% jump in its second-quarter profit as the value of its investment portfolio increased with the stock market. But it took a $10 billion write down on the value of its aircraft parts manufacturing business because of the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Berkshire Hathaway cut the value of its Precision Castparts unit because of how much the virus has hurt air travel and businesses that support that airline industry.

The ongoing pandemic hurt most of Berkshire’s businesses, but the results still topped Wall Street expectations. Berkshire held nearly $147 billion cash at the end of the quarter.

UNI’s Football season is dead in the water

Sports

August 8th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

Hours after officials with the Missouri Valley Conference announced on Friday that the league’s schools will not conduct conference competition this fall, the University of Northern Iowa announced that the Panthers will not participate in nonconference games this fall and will look to reschedule those games in future years.

UNI fans who have already purchased season tickets have four options:

  • SPRING – Transfer your season tickets to the spring season. Panther Scholarship Club seat contributions are still required and must be pledged by Oct. 1. Those that transfer their tickets to the spring and make their PSC pledge by the deadline will receive 200 Panther Points.
  • DONATE – Transfer the balance of your account to the Panther Scholarship Club as a 100% Tax-deductible donation.
  • CREDIT – Apply the balance of your account as a credit toward fall 2021 season tickets.
  • REFUND – Receive a full refund.

Season ticket holders have until Sept. 1 to make a selection. Those that do not make their selection by the deadline will automatically be enrolled in the spring option. If a spring season is not feasible, a UNI Athletics representative will reach out to all season ticket holders to assist them on the best option for their situation.

The MVFC plans to play a full eight-game spring league schedule with the expectation to culminate the season with the FCS Playoffs. The Conference Presidents Council also voted that competition this fall be conducted at institutional discretion.

National fall postseason play was canceled earlier Friday when the Pioneer League and Big Sky Conference backed out of their 2020 schedules due to concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic. That decision left the Football Championship Subdivision below the NCAA mandated 50% threshold needed to have a championship playoff.
