EDDYVILLE DUNES A NATURAL HERITAGE OF THE STATE
The wind-blown sands of Eddyville Dunes were deposited 12-15,000 years ago in a process very similar to the formation of Iowa's Loess Hills, according to Pat McAdams and Glenda Buenger. The sand deposits of the "Dunes" are up to 60 feet thick and there are also numerous open water wetlands and wet meadows in the 1200 acres. The state endangered pale-green or tubercled orchid and seven species of special concern have been found there. Dr. Jim Christiansen of Drake University performed a survey in the area in 1997. He wrote that the Eddyville site represents "one of the most complete, although fragile, prairie communities present in Iowa." His survey showed ornate box turtle, a state threatened species, and Blanding's turtle, a marsh species of Federal special concern.
Iowa Code requires that "Cities, counties, and the department [DOT] shall to the extent practicable preserve and protect the natural and historic heritage of the state in the design, construction, reconstruction, relocation, repair, or maintenance of roads, streets, or highways. Destruction or damage to natural areas, including but not limited to prime agricultural land, parks, preserves woodlands, wetlands, recreation areas, greenbelts, historical sites, or archaeological sites shall be avoided, if reasonable alternatives are available for the location of roads, streets, or highways at no significantly greater cost. In implementing this section, cities, counties, and the department [DOT] shall make a diligent effort to identify and examine the comparative cost of utilizing alternative locations for roads, streets, or highways."

    Economic Research Service Conference Description
    Much of the research and debate over poverty, welfare reform, and food assistance programs has centered on our nation's inner cities. But while poverty has become more urbanized over the past several decades, most poor and welfare-recipient families live outside of central cities, and substantial minorities live outside of metropolitan areas altogether. As indicated by Food Stamp, TANF, and Medicaid caseload patterns, welfare reform appears to have distinct geographic components as well. The changes in welfare programs and food assistance policies have generated considerable debate about how people in rural areas will fare under the new system. To further our understanding of the rural dimension of poverty and welfare reform and enable more informed policy judgments about the effects of reforms on rural people and places, conference organizers seek high quality research papers on rural or rural/urban comparative dimensions of the following kinds of topics:

Transportation planning provides a coordinated and continuing process to assist communities in the implementation of transportation improvements. This planning is required before federal funds can be spent on projects. Planning before implementation has the added benefit of providing a technical means of ranking transportation needs and prioritizing available funding. Roadways, transit, railroads, waterways, airports, trails and intermodal facilities are all considered in the planning process.
    Local, state, and federal jurisdictions work together with support from Bi-State staff to develop planning and programming recommendations for transportation improvements. In the Quad Cities Urbanized Area, recommendations are considered by the Transportation Policy Committee composed of chief elected officials of cities and counties, Illinois and Iowa State Departments of Transportation, and the Illinois Quad Cities transit district. In Region 9, recommendations are considered by the Region 9 Transportation Policy Committee composed of the chief elected officials from the City of Muscatine, Scott and Muscatine Counties, a small community representative from the Iowa region, and an official from the Iowa Department of Transportation. Programs and services involved in the transportation planning process include:

    "Maharishi Effect"
    DEFINED : The Maharishi Effect is defined as "one percent of the population practicing the Transcendental Meditation Program in any city reduces the crime rate, accident rate, and sickness rate" and "establishes a new formula for the creation of an ideal society, free from crime and problems, and with this, Maharishi envisions the dawn of a new age for mankind the Age of Enlightenment."
    In 1978 the TM Organization (TMO) announced, "Discovery of the Extended Maharishi Effect: the square root of one percent of the population practicing the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Program together in one place produces coherence in collective consciousness, promoting positive and progressive trends in society."
    (See: Commentary on US Cities - 1976 Report
    CLAIMS : In their Brief Summary of Principal Research Findings, Mahesh/TMO claim that establishing the ME through "coherence-creating groups" has resulted in "reduced crime", "reduced violent crime" and "reduced war deaths" in their various studies. They also boast "47 scientific papers and presentations on the Maharishi Effect".

    Report Addresses Electric Utility Restructuring Issues for Local Governments
    The Department of Energy and the Urban Consortium Energy Task Force have issued a report that addresses electric utility restructuring issues of concern to local governments, such as the impact competitive forces can have on tax-based revenue streams. The report's four sections cover aggregation of customers under traditional franchise authority; a step-by-step approach for evaluating franchise powers; methods for soliciting alternative power suppliers; and the obstacles and benefits to using a community franchise to aggregate power customers. The report, "Community Franchise Study, An Option for Local Governments Facing the Challenge of Electric Industry Restructuring," reminds officials that local governments are important stakeholders and have significant power and authority to help move the restructuring process forward in a manner to benefit their customers. According to the report, "elected officials, planners and citizens need to develop a thorough understanding of the issues in order to participate in discussions in their states, and to position their communities for whatever markets might be created."

    The Historic Period
    by Carl A. Merry Prior to 1700 the Ioway and Oto, and possibly the Omaha and Ponca, occupied a large village at Blood Run National Historic Landmark in northwest Iowa along the Big Sioux River. Blue glass beads, iron knives, and brass kettles have been found in excavations there. A small Ioway village as it might have looked around 1700 can be visited at Iowa Living History Farms in Des Moines. Other Ioway villages and cemeteries from the earliest period of French contact have been excavated along the the Upper Iowa River in northeast Iowa and in the lakes region of Northwest Iowa. Jesuit sings, gun parts, and glass beads show European influence while evidence of bison hunting, pottery-making, and pipestone working attest to the retention of traditional lifeways. Mining of lead for utilitarian and ornamental objects in northeast Iowa began in prehistoric times, and continued well into the 19th century. Due to its prominent visibility along the Mississippi River bluffs and ease of transport by boat or raft, Dubuque-area lead was mined and smelted by Indians and French fur traders. In the early 1690s, Pierre Le Sueur reported lead mining in the Dubuque area, and Nicholas Perrot excavated in mines south of the Wisconsin River. The lead region became recognized by other explorers as well, resulting in increasing visibility through depictions on dozens of maps through the 1700s. The Sauk, Meskwaki, and Winnebago Indians mined lead in the 18th century. Mine pits and caves, with ore smelted by log furnaces, were worked by the Indians as a summer revenue source by those who could not participate in the summer hunt. In some cases with men doing the mining and women doing the smelting, the Meskwakis earned large revenues that were used to purchase European and American trade goods. Throughout the 18th century, lead mining and smelting was integrated into the French, and later British and American, fur trade economy in the Upper Mississippi Valley frontier. Continuing production on an industrial scale ensured that most of the lead shot flying in the American Civil War derived from the Upper Mississippi lead region.

    Japan and Iowa enjoy a broad base of solid and friendly relations which include friendship exchange, trade and learning about
    one another. Over 800 Japanese nationals live and work in Iowa. Japan is the 2nd largest export market for Iowa products, especially food products. The state government keeps an economic
    development office in Tokyo to promote Iowa's exports and encourage Japanese companies to invest in Iowa. Iowa has a long history of teaching the Japanese language and culture in its schools. The University of Iowa, for example, has a
    strong program in Japanese language and Japanese studies (http://www.uiowa.edu/~asian/index.html), and several high schools
    throughout the state also teach Japanese. In fact, there are 2 assistant Japanese language teachers sent from the Japanese
    government to help teach Japanese in Iowa high schools. Iowa was one of the first states to establish a sister state in Japan. The Japanese prefecture of Yamanashi became Iowa's sister
    state because of the friendship and agricultural assistance Iowa extended after a devastating typhoon struck Yamanashi in
    1959. Since that time, several cities in both states have also established sister-city relationships to exchange friendship, including

    by David Kendrick
    June 21, 2001 Right to Work laws guarantee the right of employees to decide for themselves whether a union deserves their financial support. They also prevent union officials from monopolizing workers and force them to accept a more voluntary relationship with the workers they claim to represent, and the employers without whom the jobs would not exist. That such voluntarism is not only morally right, but economically efficient as well, is borne out statistically, nationwide, and in the Midwest in particular. This is true, even of wages and income, one of the most misunderstood issues surrounding the Right to Work issue. Most comparisons of Right to Work and forced-unionism states are based on gross income, unadjusted for the wide variation of living costs and local taxes. The appropriate comparison across cities, states, and regions in measuring economic well-being is the purchasing power of after-tax income. The relevant question is this: Is money income after adjusting for taxes and the cost of living, i.e., after-tax real income, higher in forced-unionism states than in Right to Work states? Several reports have addressed this question. Two early studies compared adjusted incomes in Right to Work states with those in forced-unionism states showed that while

Student comments after a two-hour session on "Ethical Theory and Intensive Hog Confinement" in Dr. Donald Lay's Animal Science 336 course, "Animal Behavior," October 1999. "It is important to discuss ethics because it can open our eyes to other ideas and possibly change our views on how something should be done. We may decide what we are doing is not ethical and change so it is ethical." "I liked the comparison of ethical theories. It is interesting to have a philosophical basis to back up arguments, and it also gives insight into how the other views think."
