The second funeral for the central Iowa police officers killed last week will take place today (Tuesday) in a small town in Calhoun County. The service to honor 24-year-old Urbandale officer Justin Martin is at the South Calhoun Middle School in his hometown of Rockwell City. It will start at 11:40, which was the officer’s badge number.
Officer Justin Martin
Martin was shot to death early last Wednesday while on patrol in Urbandale. Martin had just finished his probationary period with the department in August. He became the first ever Urbandale officer to be killed in the line of duty when he was shot while stopped at an intersection last Wednesday morning.
Des Moines officer Tony Beminio was shot to death after responding to the call about Martin’s shooting. Beminio was laid to rest Monday and Pastor Mike Householder summed up the feelings of those at his funeral. “It isn’t right it isn’t fair,” he said. Some 15-hundred law officers from around the country attended Beminio’s funeral and most are also expected to be there for Martin’s as well. Martin will be laid to rest at the Rosehill Cemetery on the edge of Rockwell City.
The entire Urbandale Police Department plans to attend the funeral. The Urbandale Police Department spokesman says with the large amount of police cars in the funeral procession they will have to loop outside the tiny town on the way to the cemetery in order to get all the cars into the procession.

Iowans should not encounter any weather-related obstacles on their way to the polls this Election Day. National Weather Service Meteorologist Brad Small says plenty of sunshine is expected, along with typical temperatures for early November. “Highs will be just above normal, not as warm as we’ve seen recently, but still in the 50s…so it should be a great day to get out,” Small said.
Throughout history, there have been some unusual weather events in Iowa during a federal election. For instance, in 1938, eight inches of snow fell in parts of eastern Iowa on Election Day. Small notes, while significant snowfall in early November is rare, all kinds of severe weather can strike this time of year.
“Last year, we even had a tornado outbreak in the middle part of November,” Small said. “We can get a wide range of weather in Iowa in November, but snow is not really too common this early.” Ten tornadoes touched-down across Iowa on Veterans Day last November.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Even as the losses mount at Iowa State, Allen Lazard’s numbers keep climbing. The junior wide receiver was the No. 1 recruit during the seven-year tenure of former coach Paul Rhoads, and he’s living up to the billing for first-year coach Matt Campbell.
The Cyclones might be 1-8, but it’s certainly not because Lazard has failed at his job. Campbell says if people came to practice they’d see that Lazard is as locked in as anyone on the football team. He says Lazard has a chance to become one of the best players in college football.
Lazard leads the team in receiving (48 catches), yards (658) and touchdown catches (five) and is steadily climbing the school’s career records list. He has caught a pass in all 32 games he has played and now ranks fifth in career receptions (145) and TD catches (14) and third in receiving yards (2,059).
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Dee Ford was a bust, a laughingstock in Kansas City, the punchline to jokes that usually referenced broken-down pickup trucks and ended up with them never getting where they were supposed to go. That was last year. Things have changed this year.
Now, the 2014 first-round pick is among the league leader in sacks, the emerging star for a defense that has pushed the Chiefs into AFC West contention, and he’s the one having all the laughs. Ford says it’s human nature for athletes.
The Chiefs were roundly criticized for drafting Ford with the 23rd overall pick two years ago, when he was rated a second- or third-round talent by many. The Chiefs already had Justin Houston and Tamba Hali at outside linebacker and many other needs on a team in the midst of a rebuild.
Reid says quarterback Alex Smith will start Sunday at Carolina. Nick Foles replaced him against Jacksonville after Smith sustained a head injury against Indianapolis.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — After a long campaign, it’s finally time to vote. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Today (Tuesday), but voters have been casting early ballots for weeks. More than 300,000 of Iowa’s 2.1 million voters have opted to vote early. There are plenty of candidates on the ballot, including the presidential race between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, the Senate election between Republican Charles Grassley and Democrat Patty Judge, four congressional races and legislative contests.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — More than nine months after Iowa held its lead-off caucuses, beginning an extended and, at times, bizarre presidential selection process, voters Tuesday will weigh in once again on who should lead the country. Iowa voters also will decide whether to re-elect longtime U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley and the state’s four congressmen, and which political party should control the state House and Senate.
CUSHING, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma regulators say they will shut down some disposal wells and reduce volume in others after a magnitude 5.0 earthquake struck near Cushing on Sunday night. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission’s Oil and Gas Division said Monday that more than 700 square miles are included in the new area, but specific details wouldn’t be released until Tuesday. Wastewater from oil and gas production is injected into the disposal wells.
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — About 1,500 law enforcement officers joined more than 1,000 other mourners at a funeral for a one of two Iowa police officers who were fatally shot just minutes apart last week. Officers slowly filed into a church Monday in West Des Moines to remember Des Moines police Sgt. Anthony Beminio. The 38-year-old was fatally shot early Wednesday, just minutes after Officer Justin Martin was killed in nearby Urbandale. A local man has been charged in both deaths.
