Awards From 3A from the Iowa County Senior Center. The long-term goal is to raise $10 million in endowment assets by 2010, Stoffregen said. Karla Miller, executive director of the Rape Victim Advocacy Program, said that after the endowment reached $1 million in assets she became more aware of the foundation's role in planning for future community needs. "One of the things that I was impressed with was the vision, and their looking down the road," Miller said. "As we look at the funding projects, we need to really do some sound financial planning so agents can provide services." In the next few months, RVAP plans to work with the foundation to establish an endowment fund, Miller said.

Weather County From 1A From 1A "You just kind of take it in stride and say, 'That's the weather," Cody said. Hillaker said a thin layer of cold air made the rain freeze as soon as it hit the ground.

He said as that layer of cold air grows, the freezing rain should turn to snow today and tomorrow, with 6 inches or more a good possibility, He said motorists should be more aware with the first major winter storm of the season, but that perhaps a larger hazard existed for pedestrians especially in lightly traveled areas. While emergency rooms were busy, weather- related crashes were at a minimum, as Coralville and lowa City police reported three minor accidents, and the Johnson County Sheriff's Department and Iowa State Patrol reported a smattering of calls. Gary Bell, a dispatcher with Big 10 University Towing, said the ice storms Saturday led to repeated weather- related calls, but that Monday was pretty typical. "This morning, the main roads were pretty clear," Bell said Monday. "They were wet, but they were clear of ice." Hillaker said the area could be stuck in a pattern of freezing precipitation for at least the next week.

"Find the snow shovel if you don't remember where it's at and just be prepared," Hillaker said. Plugge said he made the call to cancel school about 5 a.m. Monday after predictions had freezing continuing through the morning. He said ice is usually more of a hazard than snow. "It all comes down to: Can our buses safely operate to get our kids to school?" he said.

"(Monday) the decision was made that no, they could not." Students will have to make up the extra day on President's Day, Feb. 21. Additional poor weather days could be made up June 6 through 8. Sampada Mhatre of Iowa City took her daughter, Pareen, 4, with her Monday to local libraries because Pareen's preschool cancelled along with the school district. She said that although she has lived four years in Iowa City, she still misses the weather from her home in India, where temperatures rarely drop below 60 degrees.

"I just can't get used to it," she said. "I just long for summer." Cat Moore of Iowa City, who gets around with the help of a walker or wheelchair, said when she saw the mailman chipping ice off the mailbox to open it, she didn't want to go outside. But her two guide dogs needed to go out, like it or not. The ice covered access ramps, even with a generous seeding of salt. "When I came down the ramp with my wheelchair, I went flying down the ramp," she said.

"I've done that before and flipped over." One year, a tumble knocked her out for 15 minutes, but Moore said she's making the best of things, training the dogs to pull the wheelchair like an Iditarod sled. As for Cody and her daughter, they planned to stay inside, turn up the heat and watch movies with popcorn. "It sounds like a fabulous evening," she said. "And then we'll see what the weather does tomorrow." Reach Adam Pracht at 339-7260 or Corrections The Press-Citizen strives to make every story fair and accurate.

Happy Holidays! from Elsie J. Hook. Convalescing at Greenwood Manor in Iowa City. use or courthouse expansion," Lehman said. "We have to think ahead a little bit.

We know in the next couple of years there's going to be a requirement for more space." Johnson County is lowa's second-fastest growing county this decade. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county grew by slightly more than 4 percent, from 111,006 people to 115,548 in three years. With voter support, owning the property would give the county the option for a centrally located facility, which could provide for a future law enforcement center or space for jail alternatives and law Tsunami From 1A sions Monday including children, elderly and two pregnant women were too weak from eight days with little food or water to speak or move. Doctors said they suffered from pneumonia, broken bones, infected wounds and tetanus.

Many appeared deeply traumatized. At least 25 were in critical condition. The American pilots ferried the survivors to a medical field station in Banda Aceh. The ones not rushed on stretchers were placed on a blue plastic sheet, among them a young girl clutching a stuffed Snoopy dog. Some cried, and aid workers stroked their arms and backs to comfort them.

They were given chocolate wafers, water, sweaters and T- shirts. In the shattered village of Meulaboh, an injured man stretched out on the ground, hooked to an intravenous drip that hung from a tree branch outside an overcrowded hospital emergency room. In Lam Jamek, another ruined village, survivors used an elephant to pull a vehicle to the provincial capital. The U.S. pilots said the damage was stunning.

The fi U.S. carrier group and much of enforcement training, Harney said. The existing jail, meanwhile, could serve as office space for the Sheriff's Department or courthouse personnel, he said. In addition, existing fiber optics and the location's proximity to public transportation could save the county money in the long run, he said. Some supervisors, however, have said the swap could stress an already limited parking situation and provides few expansion opportunities in a landlocked location.

Lehman said the county will await a response from the GSA as it enters what he foresees as a lengthy process with the federal government to acquire the parking lot. In related business: Supervisors renewed plans the crew, which moved into position Saturday, served in the Persian Gulf during the Iraq con- flict. "In my 17 years of service, I have never seen such devastation and I hope that I'll never see such again in my life," said Senior Chief Jesse Cash, of Albuquerque, N.M., who has served in Somalia and Liberia. The devastation illustrated the awesome power of the waves. At Karim Rajiatwo, about seven miles south of Banda Aceh, huge tanks at an oil storage facility had been knocked off their concrete bases and sat lopsided on the sand, while thousands of smaller oil drums lay scattered about.

It was unclear if any were leaking. Two helicopters dropped off 1,800 pounds of soup and biscuits donated by schools in Singapore. At one point, the choppers flew low over what appeared to a fishing flotilla off the coast. There were no signs of life. The American relief operation was one of the largest U.S.

military missions in southern Asia since the Vietnam War. On far smaller scales, other navies are also helping. Australia, which has 600 troops involved in relief efforts, is using cargo planes to shuttle aid and sent a troop-carrying ship that is due to arrive off Aceh in December for a centralized county campus as part of a fiveyear ur capital improvement plan. The board agreed to continue setting aside about $1 million each year to acquire about $6.3 million worth of land around the County Administration building, 913 S. Dubuque St.

Mike Sullivan, executive assistant to the board, said the county capital improvement plan places high priority on acquiring property north of Benton Street and south of Clinton and Dubuque streets for a new health and human services building that could cost about $6.1 million. He said all current property owners have been notified and county staff has started a condemnation process with one property owner, Roger Larson. Reach Deidre Bello at 339-7360 or province in mid- January, France and India are each deploying two naval vessels to unspecified locations in southern Asia. Russia sent three relief planes to Sri Lanka. Indonesia says its military lacks the supplies and equipment to carry off such a massive operation on its own.

It also says its air force suffers from a shortage of spare parts as a result of the ban on sales of U.S. military equipment to Jakarta. Washington imposed the ban in 1999 after the Indonesian military and proJakarta militias killed 1,500 people in East Timor in a failed attempt to repress an independence movement in what was then an Indonesian province. Since the tsunami, Indonesia has sent four vessels to the shattered village of Meulaboh and has only two helicopters in Sumatra, compared to a planned 25 from the United States. More American help was coming.

The USS Bonhomme Richard and two other warships carrying a Marine expeditionary unit, dozens of helicopters and tons of supplies steamed into the Indian Ocean on Monday to join relief operations off Sumatra and Sri Lanka. "We've been racing across the ocean," said Rear Adm. Chris Ames, commander of the strike force. Hot Off The Press!
