Mad about masks: Iowa nature center seeks security

The latest: A woman with three kids wanted to attend the center's "Critter Club" earlier this month but refused to comply with the county's requirement to mask indoors.

• She left after a center official threatened to call a deputy.

Reality check: Very few of the thousands of annual visitors to the Granger site cause problems, Leopold said.

• Yes, but: The center often relies on volunteers during weekends, and the county doesn't want to subject them to these situations, he said.

What's next: The county will likely hire a third-party company to provide up to six hours of security on Fridays and Saturdays, Leopold said.
