COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Small groups of protesters gathered outside Planned Parenthood clinics in western Iowa’s Council Bluffs, as wells as Lincoln, Nebraska, on Saturday as part of a nationwide movement to urge Congress and President Donald Trump to strip the agency of all federal funding.

The website www.ProtestPP.com says it wants the funding reallocated to health centers that help disadvantaged women without providing abortions. In Iowa, rallies were also held at Planned Parenthood locations in Council Bluffs, Cedar Falls, Des Moines, Iowa City and Sioux City.

About two dozen people rallied outside the Council Bluffs Planned Parenthood clinic. No group of Planned Parenthood defenders made an appearance in the deeply conservative western Iowa city. The small rally was met mostly with honks of approval and thumbs-up from passing motorists.

Iowa college student plays trumpet at funerals for veterans

News

February 11th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — A University of Northern Iowa student is using her trumpet to give back to veterans, playing “Taps” at many local military funerals. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports university marching band member JD Waybill of Central City has been performing at most military funerals with the Cedar Falls AMVETs Post 49 since 2015.

Waybill reached out to the Cedar Falls AMVETs because she had performed at military funerals in Central City since eighth grade and wanted to continue doing so in college. Waybill estimates she’s performed at more than 100 funerals in Central City and Cedar Falls combined.

Cedar Falls AMVETS Post 39 commander Marv Mattfield says Waybill’s services are in high demand given the rate at which aging World War II and Korean War veterans are passing away.
