Conlan, former KC Chief Thomas, inducted into College Hall of Fame

Sports

December 10th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

NEW YORK (AP) — Shane Conlan and Derrick Thomas, two of the most dominant college linebackers of the 1980s, are part of a class of 14 former players and two coaches being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in New York. Thomas had 27 sacks and won the Butkus Award as the nation’s top linebacker in 1988 before going on to a successful NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was paralyzed in an automobile wreck in 2000 and died from complications about a month later. He was 33.

Conlan was a two-time All-American. He had two interceptions in his final college game as Penn State upset Miami 14-10 in the Fiesta Bowl to win the national title. The rest of the class is highlighted by TCU running back LaDainian Tomlinson, South Carolina receiver Sterling Sharpe and Southern California tackle Tony Boselli.

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Officials have released the name of a man killed in an all-terrain vehicle crash in southeast Iowa. The state Department of Natural Resources says 83-year-old Allen D. Sindt, of Davenport, was deer hunting Monday afternoon in Stephens State Forest, northwest of Unionville in Appanoose County, when the all-terrain vehicle he was driving rolled over on top of him. Officials say Sindt was trying to maneuver over a downed log at the time.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (AP) — Authorities have ruled the death of a man found inside a house in Marshalltown as a homicide. The state medical examiner’s office says an autopsy was performed Sunday on 32-year-old Adam Paul Garrett, of Tama. The manner of death was certified as a homicide, though additional details were not released. Garret was found dead Saturday night inside a house. The death remains under investigation.

LAMOMI, Iowa (AP) — A southern Iowa teenager has died of brain cancer a day after receiving her high school diploma early in a special ceremony. Eighteen-year-old Bethany Gruich died Monday at her Lamoni home surrounded by family. She had been fighting brain cancer for more than two years.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — The Davenport School Board has approved early retirement incentives for teachers in hopes of saving money by replacing higher-paid teachers with less experienced, lower-paid teachers. The school board voted to offer the deal to nearly 270 eligible teachers. The move could save the district $1.5 million in its 2015-16 budget.

7th candidate announces bid for Ernst’s IA Senate seat

News

December 10th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

And now there are seven. Another person has entered the race for U-S Senator-Elect Joni Ernst’s vacant Iowa Senate seat. The Daily NonPareil reports David Sieck, a Mills County area farmer, announced on Monday, he’s running for the District 12 senate seat. Sieck decided to run in hopes of giving a stronger voice and representation to the district.

Sieck is a lifelong resident of Iowa and a founding member of Responsible River Management, which works to find solutions to river management issues on the Missouri River, among other duties. He was vice chair of the Missouri River Recovery Implementation Committee and a recipient of the Grassroots Award in 2014 with the Iowa and National Corn Growers Association.

His Mills County family farm is a fourth-generation operation. Sieck says he’s concerned the district could lose out on its potential if not represented properly. Fostered correctly, he said, the district’s businesses and families could prosper greatly.

In addition to Sieck, the other six candidates are Redding-area cattle rancher Tracee Knapp, former Montgomery County Supervisor Margaret Stoldorf of Red Oak, farmer Seth Watkins of Clarinda, Charla Schmid of Red Oak, Fremont County Supervisor Cara Marker-Morgan and State Rep. Mark Costello.

The Republican convention for the special election will be held in Clarinda on Thursday night. The special election itself will take place on Dec. 30th.

Harkin in Norway to watch man he nominated receive the Nobel Peace Prize

News

December 10th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

Senator Tom Harkin flew to Oslo, Norway, Tuesday so he could attend today’s (Wedneday) Nobel Peace Prize ceremony and see the man he nominated win the award. Harkin nominated Kailash Satyarthi for the Nobel Prize, for his campaign against child slavery. “What he would do is he would get people together, he would find a factory where they have a lot of these bonded kids working in bad conditions…and they would go there and rescue these kids,” Harkin says, “hurry them out, put ’em in their trucks and take ’em back to a sanctuary.” Harkin first met the man in 1991.

“And so, in 2005, I said to Ky: ‘I’m going to nominate you for the Nobel Prize,'” Harkin said. “He’s such a modest person…In 2006, I renominated him, then I started bringing in more people.” Satyarthi, who is from India, calls child slavery an “intolerable….crime against humanity” and he has said that he hopes by winning this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, more people will acknowledge that child slavery exists — and must end in our lifetime.

This year’s other Nobel Peace Prize winner is 17-year-old Malala, the young Afgan girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban for being an advocate of women’s education. It will be followed by an evening banquet that Harkin will attend, along with past Nobel laureates and other dignitaries, like Norway’s royal family. The banquet will begin at noon Iowa time. Harkin’s trip is a quick one. He plans to fly back to Washington, D.C. Thursday, anticipating votes in the U.S. Senate.
