National Apprenticeship Week
November 11- 17 is National Apprenticeship Week.
Here in Iowa Governor Reynolds is promoting the
program. We are promoting apprenticeship programs
in Iowa to help employers who are looking for trained
employees, and to offer training to Iowans who can
get on the job training to learn the skills that the
employer is looking for. The legislature appropriated
$1 million to help with the program. There is also
some federal money available. According to Governor
Reynolds, there are 747 registered programs serving
more than 7,600 apprentices here in Iowa. Upon
completing their training these employees earn more
than $60,000 on average. Given Iowa’s low
unemployment rate this program makes a lot of sense
from the point of View of both the employer and
employee. There is more information on the program
at www.earnandlearniowa.gov.
2019 Election Turnout
We just finished voting for city council and school
board candidates as you know. In Warren County
we also voted on the additional bond money for the
courthouse. This is the first year that we have voted
in these elections on the same day. In the past, school
board elections were held in September and city
council elections were held in November. In Warren
and Madison Counties, and I expect statewide, the
turnout this year was larger, especially in the school
board elections. The Secretary of State reports that
in Warren County 7,077 ballots were cast in the just
completed election and in Madison County there were
1,942 votes cast. In 2017 there were about 1,800 votes
cast in the school board elections in Warren County.
In Madison County there were a little over 500 votes
cast in the 2017 school board elections. The new law
obviously made a huge difference in voter turnout
for the school board elections. The difference is not
so large for the city council elections.
As always, please feel free to contact me with your
ideas or concerns.
Parking-Only Rest Area
in Warren County to
Temporarily Close
The Iowa Department of Transportation is
announcing the temporary closure of the undeveloped
rest area at milepost 51 on southbound Interstate 35
in Warren County beginning November 18, 2019.
The rest area is used mostly by commercial motor
carriers. Because the ramp from the rest area to I-35
is on an incline, large vehicles often have trouble
getting traction to merge onto I-35 during winter
weather, causing a dangerous situation on the
roadway.
The rest area is expected to reopen in late April
42020.
The closure is set to begin at 9:00 am. on November
18th but you can watch www.51 1ia.org for any change
to that schedule.

UNI and DMACC Partner to
Offer Bachelor’s Degree
Program in Des Moines
The University of Northern Iowa (UNI) and Des
Moines Area Community College (DMACC) are
entering into a new partnership that will provide
DMACC students with a streamlined pathway to a
four-year degree all while benefiting from the
convenience of the Des Moines location.
Known as “UNI at DMACC,” the new 2 2 program
is designed for students to Complete their first two
years at DMACC, with the remaining two years
completed through UNI on the DMACC Urban
Campus. Students graduating from the program will
earn a Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree. Designed
to make degree completion easier for DMACC
students by eliminating the obstacles of relocation,
the program will prepare even more students for
careers that require a four-year degree.
The partnership, developed by DMACC President
Rob Denson and UNI President Mark Nook, was
announced Wednesday at the DMACC campus as the
result of more than a year of conversations centering
around how to make a bachelor’s degree more
convenient for the 5,000 students enrolled at the
DMACC Urban Campus. The program will begin in
the fall of 2020, pending approval by the Iowa Board
of Regents.
The University of Northern Iowa’s Bachelor of
Liberal Studies degree is designed for students who
have completed a two-year degree and need a
rigorous and flexible program that employers value.
Initially, courses will be offered in an online format
with staff present to support students in all aspects
of the program. The potential exists to expand to
additional offerings between the two schools.
“The Liberal Studies degree at DMACC’s Urban
Campus is a demonstration of our commitment to
finding new ways of bringing a four-year degree to
students across the state of Iowa, no matter their
location,” said Nook. “This degree has large
employability and opens many doors for graduates.
We are grateful for our long partnership with
DMACC and are excited to provide an accessible
education to Des Moines-based students through this
innovative program.”
Many of DMACC Urban students are place-bound
and not able to relocate to continue their education.
DMACC Urban is the first public majority-minority
college campus in Iowa, with a 52% percent
population of students of color, and the average age
of its student body is 28. This partnership will allow
these students to gain the advantages of a four-year
degree without having to leave their jobs, families
and communities.
Details about the UNI at DMACC program and
program offerings can be found at belong.uni.edu]
