Construction has begun on the expansion and remodeling of the Aldi store at 2750 Heartland Dr. in Coralville.

The store will be the German discount supermarket chains final expansion and remodel in Cedar Rapids, Coralville, Dubuque, Iowa City, Marion and Waterloo, according to an Aldi marketing agency.

The remodeled stores feature a more modern design that employs recycled materials, energy-saving refrigeration, open ceilings and LED lighting.

When the work in Coralville is completed on April 9, Aldi will have invested $9 million updating six stores and opening a new store last year at 180 Collins Rd. NE in Cedar Rapids.

The remodeling and expansion activity is part of the Aldis plans for a $3.4 billion investment to expand to 2,500 stores nationwide by the end of 2022. Aldis U.S. headquarters is in the Chicago suburb of Batavia, Ill.

Aldi operates more than 1,300 stores in the United States and more than 10,000 stores in 20 countries.

The family-owned companys efforts come as rival European discount grocer Lidi opens more stores in the United States.

Whether youre new to the series or youre a returning player from the first game, you should know that in Nioh 2 combat is everything. Like we said in our review, theres a wide variety of weapons for you to choose from, each one with their pros and cons. Nioh 2 even adds all the weapon types from the first games DLC and some completely new types. As if that wasnt enough, the stance system means every weapon has three different ways in which you can use them!

With so much variety, its important to know what each weapon does and how do they scale with your stats. You can always equip two weapons at a time, so take all of this into consideration in order to build your perfect yokai slayer.

At the beginning of the game, you can pick your first two weapons. The game lets you try out all of the weapon types for a little bit before deciding, and each weapon type gives you a different bonus of +1 to a specific stat. In the long run, that bonus doesnt mean much since youll be leveling up quite fast, and you will be able to find the weapons you dont pick almost immediately.

Still, it is important to know how each weapon type scales with your stats. All of them receive a damage boost based on three different stats, and depending on which weapons you end up favoring, you might want to lean towards those specific stats.

The Sword is the most basic of weapon types in Nioh 2. With decent range, decent speed and decent damage, this weapon type doesnt excel at anything but rather its a useful all-rounder. Some might find them a little bit dull compared to the other options, but you can never go wrong with a Sword. In terms of stat scaling, Swords have a B+ in Heart, a C in Strength and a C in Skill.

Youd think that two swords instead of one would be stronger, but the Dual Swords are your equivalent to dagger-type of weapons in other games. Theyre faster than most weapons, but not as strong in terms of numbers. However, their speed is very useful when you want to inflict a status ailment if your specific weapon allows it. They have a C+ in Heart, a D+ in Strength and a B+ in Skill.

Spears are all about the reach, both horizontal and vertical. They might not be super fast, but they can cover ground that most other weapons just cant. If you want to hit your enemies from a safer distant than most of the other weapons, then you might want to try these out. They have a B+ in Constitution, a C in Strength and a C in Skill.

Axes are your big damage weapons, but at the same time theyre the slowest and consume the most Ki. No matter the stance, an axe is never going to be your fastest option but it will do a lot of damage. If you really want to sacrifice speed for power, an Axe in High Stance can be absolutely devastating. They have a B+ in Stamina, a D+ in Strength and a C+ in Courage.

The Kusarigama have always been considered the most technical weapon in Nioh, and that remains the case in this sequel. They have reach and speed, even in the High Stance, but to master these weapons you will need to learn its shortcomings. They have a D+ in Strength, a C+ in Skill and a B+ in Dexterity.

Odachi, the first of the DLC weapon types from the previous game, is an alternative for the Spear if you want reach. They are slower, but offer more damage and go hand in hand with tankier builds since some of its attacks cant be interrupted. They have a C in Heart, a C in Stamina and a B+ in Strength.

The Tonfas, the other DLC weapon type from Nioh 1, have the shortest range in the game. However, to compensate for that they are incredibly fast and most of its attacks move you forward, allowing you to keep pressuring your enemies and breaking their guards. They have a C+ in Constitution, a D+ in Dexterity and a B+ in Courage.

Hatchets are the first weapon type added for Nioh 2 and theyre quite unique. Just like Tonfas, they also have shorter range than most but unique to them is that by holding down the Strong Attack, you can actually throw your hatchet. They have a B+ in Skill, a D+ in Magic and a C+ in Courage.

The Switchglaive is the other new weapon type in Nioh 2, and they are one of the most versatile weapons in the game. Their gimmick is that each stance transforms the weapon. In Low Stance, they have short range and high speed like a Tonfa. In Mid Stance they act similar to Spears. In High Stance they basically become an Axe. These weapons are perfect for covering a lot of options. They have a C in Constitution, a C in Skill and a B+ in Magic.

Remember how I said that the stat your weapon scales with is very important? Nioh 2 goes even further in that regard with its new Remodel system. As you progress through the game and do Sub Missions to upgrade the Blacksmith, you will eventually unlock this function that allows you to tinker with the scaling of your some of your weapons.

To Remodel a weapon, they need to have a +1 or more next to their level. You can get this bonus randomly by either forging new weapons or as loot drops in every level. You have four options for remodeling: the default is the original scaling, and three other options that greatly increase one of the stats but lowers the other two. For example, you could remodel a Switchglaive to scale better with Skill, resulting in a D+ in Constitution, a C in Magic but an A- in Skill.

Do keep in mind, however, that remodeling requires a specific item you need to forge from materials dropped by specific bosses.

Now that you have all that information, how do you pick which weapon to use? Nioh 2 gives you a lot of freedom, especially with the new Remodel system, but there are still some tried and true builds that will help you out a lot. Here are some of our recommendations, based specifically in what kind of playstyle you want to follow.

Q: Dear Ed: I have a shower stall with good plumbing and nice tiles but the shower pipe and head is boring, worn out and outdated. Without getting into a remodeling job, what can I do to add some nice features and improve my shower?

Ted, Maine

A: Sounds like you could use a refresh job on your tile shower stall.

"Refresh" means to improve your present shower setup without remodeling the tile walls or the in-wall plumbing. Basically, you can work off the shower arm connection and install a new interior shower setup.

This is possible because of updated shower column kits that anchor to the existing tile walls. A shower column kit usually includes a showerhead, hand shower and a specially finished vertical pipe column. The column can also include a diverter, sliding hand shower bracket and rain head-style setup as well.

Bottom line: For a refreshing shower option that may not wash away your budget, look into a shower stall refresh job.

Q: Dear Ed, I read your article on "freestanding" tubs and like the look of having a shower stall and an open style bathtub. But, our bathroom is too small to have the tub located away from the wall. Any ideas you can share with me?

Jerry, Massachusetts

A: Freestanding baths have become trendy plumbing fixtures. As mentioned in previous articles, not only do they function as a comfortable place to take a bath, they also add classic beauty with "stand alone" styling. However, a freestanding tub may not be the best choice for smaller bathrooms because of space restrictions, until now. I've worked with new freestanding-like bathtubs called "back-to-wall" tubs that are designed to be installed against a wall. This design may fit smaller spaces and allows for back of tub access for an easier install. Final tip: If you choose a Back-to-Wall tub that features lumbar support, a built-in overflow and a "toe-tap" style drain that's foot operated, this can also be a step in the right direction.

While it sounded like the judge was really hammering the gavel next door, it was just the demolition crew working on the remodel of East Fork Justice Court.

The seats were all gone on Monday, and the jury box looked more like kindling than lumber, as work began on the junior court in the Douglas County Judicial and Law Enforcement Center.

East Fork is one of the busiest single-justice courts in the state, which means it will be taking its show on the road this month while work is conducted.

Court Administrator Bobbie Williams said the remodel of the 40-year-old courtroom will focus on accessibility.

Funded entirely from designated funds and grants, with nothing coming from the general fund, this remodel will increase seating in the busiest courtroom in the county by about 25 percent, she said. Additionally, it will ensure that the general seating and jury box are ADA compliant.

With a $21,145 grant from the Nevada Supreme Court, the remodeled courtroom also will incorporate advances in technology including upgrading the evidence presentation system to be on par with the district courts.

While work is underway, East Fork Justice Court will be roving around the Judicial & Law Enforcement Centers courtrooms and other spaces.

It will even make a trip to the newly remodeled Tahoe Township Justice Court later this month. To find out where court will be held this month, check at eastforkjusticecourt.com

LANCASTER - In a special, daytime meeting, selectmen allowed the producers of Netflix's "The Society" to move the gazebo.

On Monday, selectmen Walter Sendrowski and Jay Moody agreed to allow the structure to be returned to the spot it was during the first season of filming.

Joshua Gibbons, assistant location manager for the film company said shooting on the new season begins April 5 and continues through Aug. 5.

"We are coming back and using the Town Green will be a major location," Gibbons said.

The film company should be filming in and around the Town Green eight or nine times between those dates, working with Town Administrator Orlando Pacheco and assistant Kathy Rocco to work around difficult dates, such as election days.

Gibbons said the assistant director has not yet looked through the scripts to set dates for filming each episode, but the 12 episodes shoot eight days each, then two days off.

Historical Commission Chairman Heather Lennon tried to reopen the discussion of the permanent future of the gazebo on the Town Green, saying it was "not a structure befitting the Town Green," but the agenda only advertised a discussion on placement of the gazebo for filming. Other discussion will have to wait until it is on an agenda.

At last week's meeting, selectmen expressed reluctance to move the gazebo again. No such opposition was brought up by selectmen Monday.

The placement of the gazebo on the Town Green proved controversial and divisive last year. Netflix donated the gazebo to the town. Sendrowski said officials had contractors check out the gazebo. He said they asserted it was a proper structure, not just a prop, and should be able to stand up to the move. However, the film company will repair any damage, or replace it as needed.

According to officials, the film company paid the town $125,000 to film season one in Lancaster.
