With an eighth-grade education, a deep passion for helping others, and a need to support a growing family, founder Francis A. Wilhelm built a porch for his neighbor.

Wilhelm had a saying that Hard work brings you luck. This hard work mentality has allowed Wilhelm to weather some tough times over the last 100 years.” stated Phil Kenney, F.A. Wilhelm's president. Wilhelm is known for their innovation in construction methods around concrete, masonry and modular construction as well as making sure their employees have all the tools and resources necessary to complete the work efficiently. Recent projects in the Wilhelm portfolio include Cummins DBU Indianapolis, J.W. Marriott Hotel, Indiana State Museum, IU Health Regional Academic Center in Bloomington, Four Winds Casino and Hotel in South Bend, the new Consolidated Courts Building at the Community Justice Center, the NCAA Headquarters, Republic Airways Corporate Campus, Sid and Lois Eskenazi Hospital, and the Zotec Partners Headquarters in Carmel.

Winds from the southwest, 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Then tonight, mostly cloudy, with a low around 24. Union workers voted Sunday to ratify a four-year contract with multinational ingredients maker Ingredion, ending a strike that has stretched on for nearly six months against the company's Cedar Rapids facility. About 88 workers trickled in before 10 a.m. Sunday at Teamsters Hall to vote on whether to ratify the contract and bring an end to the strike that began Aug. 1. After over two hours of discussion, union members could be heard clapping behind closed doors and began to cast written ballots. They wrapped up just before 1 p.m. with the vote to ratify the deal. Mike Moore, the principal and president of Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union Local 100G, had said Thursday that Ingredion and the union reached the tentative deal after two days of negotiations last week. Overall, he said, reaching a deal took about 25 face-to-face sessions.One man was killed and another was injured in a fall from a scaffold last week in Dyersville, according to a news release from the city's chief of police. At 8:37 a.m. Thursday, emergency responders were dispatched for an industrial accident at Farmtek, at 1440 Field of Dreams Way in southwest Dyersville. Police found two victims who had fallen about 20 feet from a portable scaffold. One was not breathing and police began CPR. One who fell was identified as 50-year-old Bruce Bockenstedt of Manchester. He was transported to a Dyersville hospital and did not survive his injuries. The other was transported to a Dubuque hospital and later transferred to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Police did not have an update on his status. The accident remains under investigation.The Gazette has online maps showing how many private schools in Iowa are in each county, and how many of those private schools include a 12th grade.

Ingredion and the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union Local 100G have agreed to meet face to face next Tuesday for the first time in more than a month.The local has been on strike at the multinational ingredients manufacturer's Cedar Rapid facility since Aug. 1.Mike Moore, the local union's principal and president, would not disclose the location of the Nov. 1 meeting but said he would attend with only his negotiating team — no other union members would be present — and Ingredion officials had agreed they would not bring security personnel.A Sept. 21 meeting with the Westchester, Ill.-based manufacturer ended when both parties were asked to leave the Hotel at Kirkwood Center after the two sides became heated over Ingredion officials bringing armed security professionals with them.The two sides have met via video conferences since then.Two 19-year-olds were arrested Wednesday on charges that they vandalized several cars, a building and street signs in Marion in July. The graffiti included “KKK,” “I am a Nazi” and swastikas, according to the Marion Police DepartmentGary Alan Jacobsen III, of Cedar Rapids, and Zane Alexander Wilcox-Thomas, of Marion, are each facing four counts of third-degree burglary of a vehicle, and one count each of third-degree burglary, first-degree criminal mischief, conspiracy to commit nonforcible felony, trafficking stolen weapons, conspiracy to commit aggravated misdemeanor and person ineligible to carry dangerous weapons.Police interviewed a third subject, identified in criminal complaints as Koda Shane Holst, and are pursuing the same charges against him, according to police.The three men entered a garage in the 1100 block of 10th Street in Marion on July 21 and stole spray paint cans, which they used to vandalize several cars, personal property and city of Marion property, causing more than $10,000 in damage, according to a criminal complaint.Marion investigators identified the three suspects after finding cell phone pictures that were taken the night of the incident and showed all three wearing the same clothing they were seen in on a home security camera system, according to the news release.The incident was investigated to determine if any of the crimes committed could be considered hate crimes, but no evidence was found to warrant the additional charges, according to police.In a question placed on the ballot by a group calling for a moratorium on wind energy and solar farms, Tama County voters will decide next month whether to increase the number of county supervisors from three to five.The Tama County Against Turbines group gathered more than 1,000 signatures earlier this year, as required by law.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Wednesday, September 21. It's going to feel completely different on Wednesday than the day before it. According to the National Weather Service, the high in the Cedar Rapids area is predicted to be 73 degrees. There will be a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms for much of the day, otherwise it will be partly sunny. On Wednesday night it will be cloudy, with a low of around 51 degrees. Representatives of Ingredion and the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union Local 100G — nohttps://www.thegazette.com/business/ingredion-cites-commitment-to-being-good-corporate-citizen-as-cedar-rapids-strike-continues/ (w in its seventh week of a strike a)gainst Ingredion's Cedar Rapids facility — were asked to leave the Hotel at Kirkwood Center Tuesday morning after the two sides became heated over Ingredion officials bringing armed security professionals with them. Mike Moore, the local's principal and president, said in a news release sent to The Gazette that “the union views this show of intimidation as a sign of disrespect and a lack of intent to bargain in good faith.” In an email to The Gazette Tuesday afternoon, Becca Hary, Ingredion corporate communications director, wrote, “We have been eager to resume negotiations in order to reach a fair agreement for the benefit of all. Unfortunately, throughout this process, Ingredion employees have received repeated threats of violence — in fact, approximately 100 have been received since Aug. 1. Hary added that Ingredion officials “look forward to resuming negotiations as soon as possible. We have proposed alternative meeting options and stand ready to continue to bargain in good faith toward a new agreement.” The union called a strike Aug. 1 over wages, overtime and health care benefits, among other issues. No further meetings between Ingredion and the union have been scheduled. It seems a utility-scale solar moratorium is in Linn County's near future. The Linn County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the Board of Supervisors approve the moratorium. The commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval during its meeting on Monday night. The proposed moratorium, if approved, would be in effect for 12 months, or whenever the code is changed if it's sooner. A moratorium would allow current projects already approved to continue, but the county would not be accepting new applications during the time period. The main sentiment behind the moratorium appears to be that the country needs to consider if its solar power procedures and implementation are as good as they could be. “Our code language is good language. Most of the jurisdictions that have codes like ours are similar or less robust,” County Planning and Development Director Charlie Nichols said. “Nationally, it is good code. But staff recommends approval (of the moratorium) because we can make it better. My hope is we come out of this with a model not just for Iowa, but all across the nation.” “We've learned a lot and we want to take those lessons and put them in our code,” Nichols said. “We want to look at vegetation under the solar panels, we want to take a closer look at screening. We want a more standardized approach with battery-storage systems because that's not in our code and it needs to be.” More than $2.6 billion of Iowa soybeans and corn will be purchased by Taiwan, according to letters of intent signed during a ceremony at the Iowa Capitol on Tuesday.
