CEDAR FALLS — Residents only had about half an hour of darkness to legally set off fireworks this year. That’s a scenario officials would like to address after a revised ordinance passed in June lifted the ban on fireworks. The city hoped to reduce the number of police calls by allowing fireworks to be set off during a three-day window around Independence Day. The three-day window was meant to synchronize with Waterloo’s fireworks ordinance. Officials are reviewing the issue after learning last month that they could only charge violators with misdemeanors, not municipal violations as outlined in the ordinance. People…

Just two days after entering the NCAA transfer portal for the third time in his career, former EDGE wide receiver and player Eyabi Anoma is listed at the University of Michigan School of Social Work in michigan directory as an undergraduate student.

Hoppy Kercheval of WV MetroNews wrote a commentary on August 16 titled “GOP Candidates Find Success in The Big Lie.” He followed up his comment that day on his state radio show by saying yes “ready to move on” of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Respectfully, I offer a different take on Hoppy’s comment to identify the real battleground in America.
