Godbersen-Smith has been hired to construct three medians on Elm Street and two on New York Avenue (See maps Figure A) that will theoretically stop cars from going around the stop arms at those railroad crossings. “These medians must be within 6 feet from the tracks and curbs will be 8-inch- es tall,” said Kevin Kruse, Creston’s pub- lic works direc- tor. “Nobody should be going around the stop arms now, but you do see peo- ple do it from time to time. These medians — with an 8-inch curb — will defi- nitely stop cars from trying (to go around the arms) and trucks who try will have a might rough ride.” Godbersen-Smith will also close several entrances/exits to parking lots along Elm Street and New York Avenue with new curb and gutter (Fig. B). The most noteable: The exit out of the restored Creston Depot parking lot on Elm Street will be blocked. (Fig. C) “We don’t want people making a left turn out of that exit,” Kruse said. Kruse further explains the rea- son the city doesn’t want com- muters taking a left turn is be- cause one of the medians being constructed by Godbersen-Smith will be a 12-foot wide median down the middle of Elm Street. (Fig. D) The purpose of that me- dian is to create a safety mecha- nism of just one lane of traffic for commuters northbound on Elm Street. The one lane for traffic even- tually turns into two lanes prior to stopping at the Adams/Elm intersection. (Fig. E). Biggest change Perhaps the biggest change for commuters will be Jefferson Street — from New York Av- enue to Broad Street — will be one way westbound. Currently, Jefferson Street has two-way traffic. “Nothing will change for westbound traffic,” Kruse said. “Eastbound traffic will continue to yield at the Russell and Jef- ferson intersection, but instead of continuing on Jefferson, they will have to take Broad Street.” The reason Jefferson must be changed to one-way for one block is — according to safety standards — the curb must be at least 60 feet from railroad cross- ing. That curb protrudes enough that eastbound traffic would be obstructed. (Fig. F) The total cost to have Godber- sen-Smith construct these safety standards is estimated at just short of $200,000. However, the city received a 90/10 grant from the federal government to pay for the construction meaning the city will only be responsible for about $20,000. The point of the work being completed by Godbersen-Smith is to increase safety at both rail- road crossings so the city can apply with Burlington Northern Santa Fe to be a Quiet Zone community. “The train whistles for uptown businesses are so loud,” Kruse said, “that employees often times just have to stop conversation with the person they are on the phone with or talking to in per- son. A Quiet Zone would make life a little more pleasant for those people.” Kruse said after construction by Godbersen-Smith is complete and the city meets a list of BNSF requirements, they will then be able to apply to be a Quiet Zone community. Kruse said Godber- sen-Smith will complete their work before winter 2014. Kruse is hopeful the city of Creston will be a Quiet Zone by “at least” January 2016. City of Creston one step closer to Quiet Zone Both parties withdraw motions in Lakeside lawsuit By AMY HANSEN OST news editor [email protected] OSCEOLA —During a Friday hearing at Clarke County Court- house, Judge John D. Lloyd granted the withdrawal of two pending mo- tions in the ongoing lawsuit of Wil- son v. Lakeside Hotel and Casino. The lawsuit was filed by Gail Ann Wilson, a former guest service manager at Lakeside, against Bob Thursby, the general manager of Lakeside, Carol Eckels, the human resources manager, Lakeside Hotel and Casino and Affinity Gaming, the parent company of Lakeside. According to court documents, there was a joint motion from both parties to withdraw Lakeside’s re- quest for a special protective order and Wilson’s request to reconsider the orders to file under seal and to challenge Lake- side’s confidenti- ality designations. The lawsuit filed in Clarke County alleges Thursby made inappropriate sexual comments to employees and patrons, and Eckels had inappro- priate sexual relationships with her subordinates and gave them more favorable treatment. The lawsuit states Wilson, a Na- tive American, was fired in No- vember 2011 “because of her race, national origin, sex and because she complained about what she believed to be unlawful employment prac- tices.” Thursby and Eckels have denied all of Wilson’s allegations in a legal response to the lawsuit. Friday findings Court documents released Friday state the Lakeside defendants filed a motion for a special protective order in the lawsuit Oct. 7. Along with the special protective order, the defen- dants filed a motion to “file it un- der seal,” which was granted by the court later in October. On Oct. 21, Wilson resisted Lake- side’s motion for a special protective order and also filed a motion to re- consider the orders to file under seal and to challenge Lakeside’s confi- dentiality designations. A court hearing was set for Friday for all of the motions to be heard. Lakeside requested the hearing be closed, and Wilson resisted that request. A letter was sent to Iowa News- paper Association by Frank Harty, attorney for Wilson, from the office of Nyemaster Goode, P.C., in Des Moines. Harty wrote, “I thought the as- sociation would be interested in an attempt by Lakeside Casino to seal records in an employment litigation matter. What is especially troubling to me is that Lakeside has asked the court not just to seal all the records, but to close the hearing.” However, Friday’s hearing was open to the public and media. Joint motion Court documents state both par- ties “have reached an agreement and resolved the above-listed issues that had been presented to the court, with the exception of the issue re- garding confidentiality designations, which the parties have agreed to continue to attempt resolution with- out the need for the court’s interven- tion at this time, and therefore, seek to withdraw certain motions.” According to court documents, Lakeside and Wilson jointly asked the court to maintain under seal any and all filings, regardless of who sub- mitted the filings, only be available to be viewed, used and copied by the parties, counsel, court and autho- rized court personnel. Court documents state, “The con- tinued sealing of these findings is not to be understood as an agreement or concession by either party as to the designation of such materials as ‘confidential’ under the protective order that has previously been en- tered in this matter.” A jury trial in the case has been scheduled March 3 in Osceola.

City of Creston one step closer to Quiet Zone
Both parties withdraw motions in Lakeside lawsuit By AMY HANSEN OST news editor [email protected]
OSCEOLA — During a Friday hearing at Clarke County Court-house, Judge John D. Lloyd granted the withdrawal of two pending mo-tions in the ongoing lawsuit of Wil-son v. Lakeside Hotel and Casino.
The lawsuit was filed by Gail Ann Wilson, a former guest service manager at Lakeside, against Bob Thursby, the general manager of Lakeside, Carol Eckels, the human resources manager, Lakeside Hotel and Casino and Affinity Gaming, the parent company of Lakeside.
According to court documents, there was a joint motion from both parties to withdraw Lakeside’s re-quest for a special protective order and Wilson’s request to reconsider
the orders to file under seal and to challenge Lake-side’s confidenti-ality designations.
The lawsuit filed in Clarke County alleges Thursby made inappropr iate sexual comments to employees and patrons, and Eckels had inappro-priate sexual relationships with her subordinates and gave them more favorable treatment.
The lawsuit states Wilson, a Na-tive American, was fired in No-vember 2011 “because of her race, national origin, sex and because she complained about what she believed to be unlawful employment prac-tices.”
Thursby and Eckels have denied
all of Wilson’s allegations in a legal response to the lawsuit.Friday findings
Court documents released Friday state the Lakeside defendants filed a motion for a special protective order in the lawsuit Oct. 7. Along with the special protective order, the defen-dants filed a motion to “file it un-der seal,” which was granted by the court later in October.
On Oct. 21, Wilson resisted Lake-side’s motion for a special protective order and also filed a motion to re-consider the orders to file under seal and to challenge Lakeside’s confi-dentiality designations.
A court hearing was set for Friday for all of the motions to be heard.
Lakeside requested the hearing be closed, and Wilson resisted that request.
A letter was sent to Iowa News-paper Association by Frank Harty, attorney for Wilson, from the office of Nyemaster Goode, P.C., in Des Moines.
Harty wrote, “I thought the as-sociation would be interested in an attempt by Lakeside Casino to seal records in an employment litigation matter. What is especially troubling to me is that Lakeside has asked the court not just to seal all the records, but to close the hearing.”

According to court documents, Lakeside and Wilson jointly asked the court to maintain under seal any and all filings, regardless of who sub-mitted the filings, only be available to be viewed, used and copied by the parties, counsel, court and autho-rized court personnel.
Court documents state, “The con-tinued sealing of these findings is not to be understood as an agreement or concession by either party as to the designation of such materials as ‘confidential’ under the protective order that has previously been en-tered in this matter.”
A jury trial in the case has been scheduled March 3 in Osceola.

WASHINGTON (MCT) — Presi-dent Barack Obama has faced with-ering criticism around the globe for his secret spying programs. How has he re-sponded? With more secrecy.
Obama has been gradually tweaking his vast government surveillance poli-cies. But he is not disclosing those chang-es to the public. Has he stopped spying on friendly world leaders? He won’t say. Has he stopped eavesdropping on the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund? He won’t say.
Even the report by the group Obama created to review and recommend changes to his surveillance programs has been kept secret.
Critics note that this comes after he fa-mously promised the most open admin-istration in history.
“They seem to have reverted to a much more traditional model of secrecy ex-cept when it’s politically advantageous,” said Steven Aftergood, who directs the Federation of American Scientists Proj-ect on Government Secrecy, and is an expert on — and prominent critic of — government secrecy. “That’s normal but not consistent with their pledge.”
For five months, former government contractor Edward Snowden has steadily released classified information to the me-dia that shows the breadth of the federal government programs that have guided
intelligence gather-ing since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Documents show the National Security Agency had been col-lecting telephone and email records on tens of millions of Ameri-cans and foreigners, eavesdropping on allies such as Ger-many and Brazil, and spying on a host of global institutions.
As criticism swelled at home and abroad, Obama said the nation should examine how the government can strike a balance between national security and privacy concerns. He said at an August news conference that Americans will re-solve any disagreements about the NSA programs through “vigorous public de-bate.”
But what started out as a national examination largely turned into a pri-vate review with few public meetings, little document disclosure and next to no public debate, say some lawmakers, technology organizations and civil liber-ties groups. And now, as those behind-the-scenes reviews begin to wind down, Obama is not providing details of the results.
“As part of the overall review of our intelligence-gathering practices, deci-sions are being made by the president
and implemented by the president, but beyond that, I have to ask you to wait until the reviews, the various reviews have been completed and we have more to say,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
Sherwin Siy, vice president of legal affairs at Public Knowledge, which pro-motes Internet openness and provided recommendations to the White House on this issue, said administration officials are asking Americans to trust them, but their past actions have provided no rea-son to do so. “Where are the reserves of trust supposed to come from?” he asked.
On his first day in office, Obama of-fered a sweeping promise of transparen-cy, issuing a number of executive actions to provide more openness at every level of the federal government and greater disclosure under the Freedom of Infor-mation Act.
“My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of open-ness in government,” Obama wrote at the time. “Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in government.”
But over the last five years, watchdog groups say, Obama has relied on state secrets and secret laws to make national security decisions with little congres-sional or public oversight, much as did his predecessor, President George W. Bush.

“The ACA is another opportunity for education institutions — as employ-ers — to partner with states and the federal government to ensure that their employ-ees have health coverage,” Rep. George Miller, D-Ca-lif., said recently.
But according to a list compiled by Investor’s Business Daily, busi-nesses, local governments and education institutions across America are making changes because of Obam-acare — including shorten-ing employee work hours and reducing staff levels. In many cases, organizations are making drastic changes to comply with the health law’s delayed employer provision.
For public universities and private colleges, many have limited part-time workers to fewer than 30 hours per week, cut back work for student employ-ees, and capped course loads for adjunct faculty.
There’s also strong evi-dence that Obamacare will provide fewer insurance options.
Bowie State Univer-sity became a victim of Obamacare by announc-ing it would no longer of-fer health insurance for domestic or international students for its 2013-2014 academic year, according to Campus Reform, which broke the story.
The college canceled student policies in late August and is currently as-sessing “the health insur-ance needs of our students as well as the impact of the new requirements.”
The cancellation comes as millions more Ameri-cans in the individual in-surance market are learn-ing their health plans won’t be continued because they don’t comply with Obam-acare’s burdensome rules and requirements.
One estimate has put individual insurance can-cellations as high as 16 million, which doesn’t cover the potential cover-age drop in the employer-based market that analysts have warned about for sev-eral years.

is a unique quality about you; you are not like others. You have a philosophical bent and are completely free-spirited. You are both down-to-earth and yet full of whimsy and imagination. It’s important to maintain your freedom. It’s also important to study or learn something valuable this year, because whatever you learn will affect your future by open-ing new doors or enriching
Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about public restrooms and door hooks:
“It really ticks me off when I go into a public restroom and there’s no hook on the door. Sometimes the hook has been removed because of someone stealing a purse. The hook should be reinstalled in the middle of the door so that no one can reach over and grab a purse. I have to set my purse on the nasty floor — yuck! — then risk someone reaching under the door and grabbing it. — Linda in Tupelo, Miss.”
I hear you! I travel a lot and am all too familiar with public restrooms. Yes, there should be a hook in the mid-dle of the door. However, the chances of someone reaching over and grabbing a purse, or reaching under and taking it, are pretty small. If the strap is long enough, you can hang it around your neck. If the purse must go on the floor (yuck is right!), you can put your foot through the strap.
Comments, ladies? — He-loise
P.S.: “Hi” to my friends in Tupelo!
FAST FACTSDear Readers: Here are
other uses for bandanas:• Use as a handkerchief.
• Make into a homemade eye mask.
• Use as a scarf for your dog.
• Fold and tie around your head as a headband.
• Use as a baby bib, in a pinch.
— HeloiseHELOISE’S SPICED
COFFEEDear Heloise: During the
winter months, I would like to add something to my cof-fee to make it special for the holidays. I seem to recall that you had a recipe? — A.C., via email
I do, and it’s one you will love! It’s tasty, easy to make and cheap. Heloise’s Spiced Coffee is perfect during the holidays. Mix together:
1 cup instant coffee powder4 teaspoons dehydrated
lemon peel4 teaspoons ground cinna-
mon1 teaspoon ground clovesOnce mixed, store in a
sealed container. When ready for some, put a heaping tea-
spoon into a cup and add 6 to 8 ounces of boiling water. Stir and enjoy! I have many other coffee recipes in a pam-phlet.

Sprinkle a little nutmeg or allspice into the hot brew. — Heloise
ROLLING IN THE TONGS
Dear Heloise: I thought you might be interested in my use for toilet-paper and paper-towel rolls. I use them to hold old-fashioned tongs, the ones that don’t have closures on them. Paper-towel rolls are good for extension cords. Just slide off and back on. Just wanted to share! — Georgan-na in Stafford, Va.
NO GERMSDear Heloise: At restau-
rants that give out pagers (the device that vibrates when your table is ready), I always request a napkin or wipe to hold it. Some places have told me that others have made the same request. — Carol W., Delray Beach, Fla.

Surprising Spartans place fifth at nationals12th-seeded SWCC goes 3-1 at tourney
By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]
PERRYSBURG, Ohio — Seedings for the top four places at the NJCAA Division II National Wom-en’s Volleyball Tourna-ment turned out to be per-fect projections.
No. 1-rated Cowley County of Kansas edged No. 2 Parkland (Ill.) 3-2 in the title match. Third-seeded Johnson County (Kan.) beat Oakland (Mich.) 3-1 for third place, after Oakland sidetracked Southwestern’s bid in the quarterfinals.
But in the fifth-place match, the unheralded Spartans shook up the pre-tourney form in a big way. After knocking fifth-seed-ed Illinois Central into the consolation bracket in the opening round, 12th-seed-ed Southwestern finished its unlikely run through the national tourney with a 3-0 sweep over defend-ing national champ and 10th-seeded Grand Rapids (Mich.) Saturday after-noon, 25-18, 25-20, 26-24.
The Spartans reached the fifth-place match by defeating Central-Colum-bus (Neb.) in a hotly-con-tested consolation match Friday, 25-20, 12-25, 30-28, 25-23. DMACC, the other Iowa regional champion, lost in that consolation round to Grand Rapids, 3-2, and ended up plac-ing eighth after a 3-0 loss to Central-Columbus in the seventh-place match. DMACC was seeded 11th, one spot in front of South-western.
Southwestern, which placed third in the IC-CAC standings, came on strong at the end of the season and ended up with
a 3-1 record at the national tournament to end up 37-10. Grand Rapids closed at 33-8.
Since Melissa Bless-ington took over as head coach, the rapid rise to nation-al stature has shown records of 10-25, 25-17 and 37-10. When this sea-son start-ed, Blessington was excit-ed to see SWCC selected as “a team to watch” when the national ratings were released. DMACC and Kirkwood earned spots in the national poll.
But Southwestern stood above them both when the curtain closed on 2013.
“We were picked fourth
in our conference and fin-ished third,” Blessington said. “It was nice to qualify for nationals, but we didn’t want to just get there with this team. We knew we had something special. Win-ning that first match was so key.
“We weren’t huge,” add-ed Blessington, assisted by volunteer Mallory Peter-son during the postseason. “We had the two shortest middle hitters in the tour-nament in Mel Mangrum and Alex Duffy. But we just have good volleyball players who can do every-thing. We’re the best out-of-system team in the tour-nament, and we played with enthusiasm.”
That extra tick of en-ergy came in handy during the consolation semifinal match against Central-Columbus Friday. After
SWCC won the first set 25-20, the Lady Raiders rolled to a 25-12 win to draw even.Comeback
Columbus was serving set point at 24-20 in the pivotal third game. Bless-ington called a timeout.
“I said we’re at the na-tional tournament,” Bless-ington said. “Let’s get ex-cited about it. Play with more enthusiasm. We can come back from this.”
Janaya Fox, who was n a m e d to the a l l - t o u r -n a m e n t team, ter-m i n a t e d the next point to make it 2 4 - 2 1 . Cassidy Yong then served four straight points — two
on long rallies and another on a sharp angled kill by right-side hitter Shelby Sullivan.
But SWCC couldn’t fin-ish it with one more, as a tip kill by Central knotted it 25-25. Finally, a kill by Allyson Kocour made it 29-28 and Sullivan found an opening in the Lady Raider court after her own serve for the 30-28 tri-umph.
“I knew that once we did that, we’d be OK,” Bless-ington said. “Central kind of took a break at 20-24, it happens. We took ad-vantage. If we had fallen behind (2-1) it would have been tougher. We’d only gone to five sets once this season, in our first home match with Indian Hills.”
The match ended on a controversial note, as Fox’s attack down the line appeared to be out of bounds, but it was ruled off a Central deflection to fin-ish Southwestern’s 25-23 win, pushing the Spartans to Saturday’s fifth-place match.
Even the broadcaster on NJCAA.TV noted that Southwestern seemed to be the more “interested” team in the placing match against Grand Rapids, last year’s champion. The Spartans notched wins of 25-18, 25-20 before falling behind 19-15 in set three.Strong finish
“We were playing so relaxed and making so few errors, I wasn’t really nervous even when we got down in the third game,” Blessington said. “I told them, I think we’re going to win this. It was like we were playing with no pressure.

The game marked Iowa State’s first win since Sept. 26 at Tulsa, its first Big 12 win since Nov. 17, 2012 at Kansas, its first home win since Oct. 27, 2012, against Baylor and its first shutout win since Sept. 25, 2010 against Northern Iowa. Rohach, a redshirt freshman, completed 15-of-20 passes for 300 yards and two touchdowns. Bundrage caught one of Rohach’s two touchdown passes. The game also marked the coldest contest in Jack Trice Stadium history. Temperature at kickoff was 8 degrees, breaking the old mark of 17 set during a Nov. 23, 1991 matchup with No. 15 Colorado. The attendance for the game was announced at 54,081. Iowa State ends its season with a 2-9 record.

Mass. – Stephen Gost-kowski kicked a 31-yard field goal for New Eng-land after a misplayed punt return by Denver, lifting the Patriots to a 34-31 overtime victory over the Broncos on Sunday night.
Denver’s Tony Carter ran into Ryan Allen’s punt after it landed and Nate Ebner recovered for New England at the Broncos 13-yard line. Af-ter Tom Brady ran twice to line up the kick, Gost-kowski connected for his 21st successful field goal attempt.
Brady threw for three touchdowns to lead the Patriots (8-3) back from a 24-0 halftime deficit to a 31-24 lead as New Eng-land scored on its first five possessions of the second half. Then Peyton Man-ning threw an 11-yard scoring pass to Demary-ius Thomas for the Bron-cos (9-2), tying it at 31.Chiefs fall
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Philip Riv-ers called it the kind of game that could save the Chargers’ season. Seyi Ajirotutu called its defining play the great-est catch of his career. The once-embattled quar-terback stoically marched San Diego downfield against Kansas City on Sunday, and then found his unheralded wide re-ceiver with a 26-yard scor-ing strike with 24 seconds remaining that gave San Diego a 41-38 victory and ended its three-game los-ing streak.
“It’s one of those you’ll never forget, that’s for sure,” said Rivers, who threw for 392 yards and three touchdowns against a Kansas City defense that had been among the NFL’s best.
The touchdown pass to Ajirotutu answered one that Alex Smith had thrown to Dwayne Bowe with 1:22 left in the game - one that had seemingly given the Chiefs (9-2) the victory.BCS standings
Northern Illinois moved ahead of Fresno State in the BCS stand-ings and up to No. 14 as the Huskies and Bulldogs jockey to be the last BCS buster. NIU jumped two spots Sunday and Fresno State slipped one to 16th.
The top three teams in the BCS standings were unchanged: Alabama, Florida State and Ohio State - the remaining un-defeated teams in BCS automatic qualifying con-ferences.
The other major col-lege unbeatens, Northern Illinois and Fresno State, are fighting for one auto-matic bid. They have to finish in the top 12 of the last BCS standings, which comes out Dec. 8, or fin-ish in the top 16 while ranking ahead of an AQ-conference champion.
Central Florida is in po-sition to win the Ameri-can Athletic Conference auto-bid, but is 19th in the latest standings.
Northern Illinois reached the BCS last season by being ranked ahead of the champion of the Big East. The Huskies then lost to Florida State in the Orange Bowl.

No. 8 Highland swarms Spartans again, 83-33By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]
HIGHLAND, Kan. — One week didn’t make much difference.
After falling at home to eighth-ranked and unde-feated Highland (Kan.) 93-42 on Nov. 16, the Spartan women traveled to High-land Saturday for a return engagement and came up short by a similar margin, 83-33.
Highland led 36-9 at half-time. No Spartan scored in double figures, led by Kris-tin Klocksiem with eight points. Southwestern had 26 turnovers and shot just 21 percent (9-43) from the field.
“It was the same type of game as the first time,” SWCC coach Addae Hous-ton said. “I was hoping we
would do a little bit better, having played against them once, and knowing what we would try to do against them. But with that team, we’re outmatched ath-letically. Our kids played hard, but they have good defensive pressure.”
The Spartans (2-5) trav-el to Central-Columbus (Neb.) Tuesday night.

Continued from page 5A
We were already in the fifth-place match, where we weren’t expected to be, and we just played. Our serving killed them. They had trouble getting into system.”
The active Spartan de-fensive back row came up with some spectacular digs as Southwestern fought back. Sophomore libero Molly Schimp, the leader of that defense along with Ashley Strong, Serena Yong and Fox, puncuated the 26-24 clincher with an ace serve.
Suddenly, a Spartan team that was once 11-5 with league losses to DMACC and Kirkwood, was pre-sented the award for fifth place in the nation.
“It’s such a special group,” Blessington said. “Nothing fazed them. Cas-sidy Yong got hit in the eye in warmups (Saturday) with broken blood vessels in her eye, and went out and played anyway. This team didn’t feel stressed out at all. They were play-ing at such a high level and so consistent.”
Ending their SWCC ca-reers in the national tour-ney were sophomores Jenna Casey, Fox, Duffy, Mangrum, Strong, Schimp and Serena Yong.
Freshmen, the founda-tion of next year’s team, are Kocour, Sullivan, Cas-sidy Yong, Kirsten An-derson and Sydney Whit-marsh.

Tri-state area receives Great Regions designation QUINCY, Ill. (MCT) -
Economic development in the Tri-States area may have gotten a boost as it received a Great Regions designation Thursday at a ceremony held at the Oakley-Lindsay Center in Quincy, Ill.
The designation applies to the Tri-State Development Summit, which consists of 35 counties in southeast Iowa, west-central Illinois and northeast Missouri.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, former governor of Iowa and southeast Iowa na-tive, started the Great Re-gions program in 2011.
“By creating a regional fo-cus and increasing collabora-tion with other Federal agen-cies, USDA resources will have a larger impact, enabling greater wealth creation, qual-ity of life improvements and sustainability,” Vilsack said about the program.
The aim as a Great Regions designee is for the counties in the Tri-State area to work to-gether on housing, transporta-tion, technology, business and health care projects.
Jason Hutcheson, president and CEO of the Greater Bur-lington Partnership, served on the Tri-State Development Summit steering committee for the last six months.
“The USDA would like to see the areas work as a region, thinking across state lines,” Hutcheson said.
By adopting a regional approach, the communities within the Tri-State area can tap into each other’s assets when it comes to economic
development.Leaders of USDA Rural
Development were on hand at the ceremony to take pride in the Great Regions an-nouncement.
“Rural communities can’t be islands,” said Bill Menner, USDA Rural Development director for Iowa. “Rural communities have to work together.”
“Nothing works well with-out collaboration and cooper-ation,” said Colleen Callahan, the USDA Rural Develop-ment director for Illinois. “We look forward to making this great region even greater.”
“This is a big deal,” said Janie Dunning, the USDA Rural Development Missouri director and a native of the northeast part of the state. “You have the ability to make some inroads with it.”
In order for the Tri-State area to qualify for the desig-nation, it had to show an in-terest in collaborating across geographic borders, plus have an economic development plan.
Great Regions comes with a commitment of federal support through fiscal 2013, which includes training, tech-nical assistance and project funding.
“When we put our heads together and really work, we can make that money go far-ther,” Dunning said.
Carla Potts, deputy director for housing development at the nonprofit Northeast Com-munity Action Corp. in Bowl-ing Green, Mo., was instru-mental in seeking the Great
Regions designation.“This designation is so im-
portant to this region that we care so much about, and to the future growth and devel-opment of that area,” Potts said. “Joining hands together through this national designa-tion, we can share with others that the Tri-State region is a great place to visit, but it’s an even greater place to live and work.”
The work of the Tri-State Development Summit steer-ing committee received a lot of the credit for attaining the Great Regions designa-tion. The summit held nine regional events since 1996 to discuss common issues of the 35 counties in Iowa, Illinois and Missouri.
The next Tri-State Devel-opment Summit will be May 7 in Hannibal, Mo.
“Working regionally is al-ways easier said than done,” Hutcheson said.
But by attaining Great Regions, Hutcheson said the economic development orga-nizations in the Tri-State area will develop a level of trust by working with each other on a regional approach.

Law enforcement makes seatbelt enforcement top priority during Thanksgiving holiday
DES MOINES — Iowa law enforcement will be out in force again this Thanksgiving holiday with increased visibility and aggressive traffic enforce-ment. Iowa Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) is announcing ex-tra city, county and state officers will be out in force ensuring traveler’s buckle up, slow down and drive responsibly in order to save lives and reduce crashes.
This high visibility traffic enforcement begins today and runs through Dec. 1.
“The number one pri-ority of this Special Traf-fic Enforcement Program (sTEP) is to save lives,” said Randy Hunefeld, sTEP coordinator with the GTSB. “According to the Iowa Department of Trans-portation, nine traffic fa-talities occurred during the 2012 Thanksgiving holiday,
which is just not accept-able.”
Six of those nine deaths were motorists not using seatbelts.
As of Nov. 8, Iowa has lost 263 drivers/occupants to traffic fatalities during
2013; 40 less than a year ago at this time. Almost 39 percent of these deaths were reported as not wear-ing their seat belts, while 26 percent are listed as un-known or could not be de-termined.
Black Friday shopping safety tips (MCT) — Black Friday is
all about being smart with your money and scoring great deals, but there’s one thing you shouldn’t check off your list: safety.
As you head out to stores hunting for bar-gains _ whether at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving or 11 a.m. on Black Friday _ make sure you don’t fall victim to criminal activity.
“This is a criminal oppor-tunity,” said Keyla Concep-cion, spokeswoman for the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. “If criminals see someone who’s distracted,
not paying attention, too concerned with bargains or deals and not paying at-tention to their belongings or surroundings, that may make them an easy target.”
To prevent becoming a victim, here are some Black Friday shopping safety tips.
In store:• Avoid becoming an easy tar-
get for thieves trying to snatch purchases _ don’t overwhelm yourself buying more than you can carry.
• Take only one credit or debit card with you _ if your wallet gets stolen, you’ll only need to cancel one credit card instead of multiple. Avoid carrying cash.
• Be watchful of onlookers _ don’t take out your credit card
or checkbook until asked at the register. Some thieves “shoul-der surf” to get your account information.
• Have your purse close to your body and/or carry your wallet in your front pocket. Don’t tempt thieves by placing your purse in the shopping cart.
• If taking children along, don’t let them wander off on their own and always accom-pany them to public restrooms. Have a designated “meet area” in case you get separated.
• Show children who may be a source of help within the store or mall, such as a law enforce-ment officer or mall security, in case they get lost. Have chil-dren memorize or keep handy your cell phone number, home phone number and address.
