Remembering 9/11

By Rep. Dave Loebsack

Dear Friend,

Today we join with our families, neighbors and friends to stand together and remember those whose lives were taken when our nation was attacked on this tragic day 14 years ago. We are eternally grateful to the firefighters, police, EMTs, and other first responders who risked their own lives on September 11th to save their fellow Americans. We must also pause today to honor those servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation.

In the years since the tragedy, we have honored those we lost with a National Day of Service and Remembrance. This is a time for us to come together to make a difference in our communities. It also provides a living reminder of hope and gives comfort to those whose lives were forever changed.

We also must care for those who rushed towards the building saving an untold number of lives. To support these heroes, Congress passed the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act in 2010. I was proud to support this legislation, which finally allowed over 70,000 9/11 responders and survivors to access medical monitoring and treatment for their injuries and illnesses.

Unfortunately, this important law expires in October and Congress must act now to extend it and maintain coverage for these first responders.  Please be assured that I will continue to fight every day for the selfless individuals who put protecting and helping others above their own safety.

Fourteen years ago, we were attacked by terrorists seeking to tear our country apart. Let us come together again on this solemn anniversary to redouble our commitment to honoring the legacy of those we lost by making our great nation event stronger and more steadfast.

Sincerely,

Dave Loebsack

Jimmy Centers to depart governor's office; Ben Hammes named new communications director for Branstad-Reynolds

By Rick Martin

(DES MOINES) - Jimmy Centers, who has served as communications director for Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds since December 2013, and has worked for Branstad-Reynolds in various capacities since 2009, will depart the governor's office to pursue a career in the private sector. Centers' last day in the Branstad-Reynolds administration will be Friday, September 25. His new private sector opportunity will be announced at a later date by his new employer.

Ben Hammes (Ham-mess), who has served as the director of appointments to Iowa's boards and commissions and as a policy advisor in the Branstad-Reynolds administration since January 2014, will succeed Centers as communications director.

"It has been an incredible honor to serve as the communications director for Governor Branstad and Lieutenant Governor Reynolds and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to serve in their administration," said Centers. "I will always remember the governor's and lieutenant governor's tireless commitment and passion to serve the people of Iowa and their steadfast commitment to do what is right for the state of Iowa. Ben Hammes will do an exceptional job as the new communications director for the administration."

Branstad and Reynolds offered their appreciation for Centers' service.

"Lieutenant Governor Reynolds and I have enjoyed working with Jimmy since 2009 when he served as a field director in Northeast Iowa on our 2010 gubernatorial campaign," said Branstad. "Jimmy has served in several capacities in our administration, including scheduling, deputy communications director and communications director. In each role, he brought energy, dedication and a tremendous work ethic while always looking for ways to evolve and improve our office's communications delivery and reach. We wish him well in his new endeavor and are pleased to bring Ben Hammes into a new role in which we are confident he will excel."

"Over the years, Jimmy has been an asset as a communications adviser and spokesman who always remembered that government serves the taxpayers," said Reynolds. "Jimmy's ability to effectively communicate in situations that require a rapid response, coupled with his ability to craft and implement effective communications plans for a variety of situations, will serve him well in his new career in the private sector. Though we're disappointed to see Jimmy move on, we know that we have a talented, capable professional in Ben Hammes, who is ready to move into his new role."

Jimmy Centers, 28, is a Peoria, Ill., native and a graduate of the University of Iowa.  During his time leading communications for Gov. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Reynolds, Centers leveraged emerging social media like Instagram, Snapchat, Meerkat and Periscope while managing and crafting governor's office messaging, coordinating communications from Iowa executive branch departments and agencies, writing speeches for the governor and lt. governor, organizing hundreds of events and press conferences, upholding the administration's steadfast commitment to transparency by handling all media inquiries, and being the on-the-record spokesman for Branstad and Reynolds. A photo of Centers can be found here.

Ben Hammes, 29, is a Story City, Iowa, native and graduated with a degree in political communications from the University of Northern Iowa in 2008.  Upon graduation, Hammes worked for Senator Charles Grassley in Washington, D.C. for just short of 3 years as a staff assistant and legislative correspondent.  He returned to Iowa in 2011 and worked for Congressman Tom Latham both in an official capacity and on his re-election campaigns until his announced retirement in late 2013.  Hammes has since served the administration in variety of capacities.  He and his wife, Morgan, reside in Clive.   A photo of Hammes can be found here.

Niabi Zoo Renovates Giraffe Building

By Marc Heinzman
Coal Valley, IL - September 11, 2015 - Niabi Zoo has completed renovations of its giraffe building to enhance the level of care provided to its giraffe herd. Renovations include a new textured flooring surface in the giraffe holding stalls to help keep the giraffes' hooves trimmed to a proper length and an anti-microbial wall coating to allow animal care to keep the stalls virus and bacteria free.

All of the materials for this project, known as ZooSpec Antimicrobial Floor & Wall systems,were donated in-kind by Protective Industrial Polymers. ZooSpec Antimicrobial Floor & Wall systems have been specifically developed to not only withstand the daily rigors of a zoo environment, but also provide a comprehensive approach to controlling microbe growth, as well as offer enhanced safety benefits. Niabi Zoo sought out the ZooSpec system of products will not support growth of various molds, bacteria, mildew and fungus. The textured flooring also will keep the giraffes' hooves worn down to an appropriate level as they walk around on it.

"We are happy to have completed these improvements to our giraffe building," said Zoo Director Marc Heinzman, "and we are absolutely thrilled that Protective Industrial Polymers was kind enough to donate all of the materials for this project." Heinzman said that this project was essential to improving the care of Niabi Zoo's giraffes. "It's important to us that we provide the best care possible, and this new ZooSpec system allows us to minimize the growth of potentially harmful agents while also improving the hoof care of the giraffes." Giraffe hooves must be kept from overgrowth in order to prevent the development of injury.With its Fall Hours beginning September 14th PM Tuesday through Saturday, and 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Sunday. Niabi Zoo closes for the year after November 1st

Quad City FIRST® Tech Challenge (FTC) League Kickoff Event Saturday, September 12th Hosted by John Deere and Quad City Engineering and Science Council (QCESC)

By Pat Barnes

John Deere World Headquarters will play host to the 2015-2016 FTC Kick-Off on Saturday, September 12.  The event is put on by John Deere, QCESC (Quad Cities Engineer and Science Council), and the Quad Cities FTC Community. The Kick-Off will feature breakout sessions to learn more about different aspects of FTC from 8-11 AM and the highlight will be the game reveal at 11 AM.

FIRST®, For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, is a global nonprofit organization with the mission to inspire the next generation of technology leaders. FIRST Tech Challenge, designed for students from 7th - 12th grades, kicks off its season with the annual game reveal each September.  This marks the start of a process of designing and building robots to compete in the game.

Of note this year is a new control system just introduced by FIRST. The new robot control system is Android based, with Android devices on both the robot itself, and in the hands of drivers. This represents the first large scale application of the Android operating system in student based robotics.

Now FIRST Tech Challenge teams can program robots while learning to design apps. Perhaps even more important, the native language of Android is Java, the same programming language high school students are learning and the basis for their AP programming coursework. Learning to code and develop apps, while creating a robot and competing against other teams, is a first for Android and an exciting way to engage the next generation of programmers, app developers, and engineers. In fact, mobile device designers are one of the hottest

FTC Iowa will compete in a League Format throughout November and December with the League Championship will take place at Davenport West High School on Saturday, February 6, 2016.  FTC Illinois will compete at various locations throughout the state including Peoria and Chicago.  Last year, the Combustible Lemons (Davenport West) and Deviation from the Norm (Pleasant Valley) had exceptional seasons, both making it to the North-Super Regional and the Combustible Lemons going to the World Championship. Students who participate in FIRST Tech Challenge are eligible for over $16 million in college scholarships provided by participating universities and sponsors. The public is invited to the kickoff to learn more about FIRST Tech Challenge, start a team, or volunteer.
