More than 100 Iowa veterans who served their country in World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War thought they would have a once-in-a-lifetime trip when they took part in the Story County Freedom Flight to Washington, D.C.
Little did they know beforehand how memorable it would be.
The veterans left early Tuesday morning for their flight from the Des Moines International Airport not knowing how the federal government shutdown would affect their plans to visit the war memorials built intheir honor in Washington, D.C.
When they arrived, they learned a fence blocked access to the memorials that had been closed due to the shutdown.
Vietnam War Veteran Phil Schendelsaid the veterans were determined they wouldnt let the fences or the guards who stood by to watch them get in the way of their final destination. Schendel said, There were people ready to go to jail. Im not kidding you.
As it turned out, that wasnt necessary.
Fourth District Republican Congressman Steve King wouldnt say who devised a plan. He would admit to distracting a guard so other Republican congressmen could open a fence to let the veterans and their families inside the memorial grounds.
King expressed dismay that guards had tried to close off the grounds in the first place.
He questioned how if there was no money to staff the grounds, then how could there be money to pay for the guards to make sure no one came into the grounds.

Lack of access to information has hindered press freedom and caused our rankings to drop miserably.
PETALING JAYA: The level of press freedom in Malaysia has deteriorated even further this year compared to its earlier standings as reflected in the latest rankings carried out by Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
Malaysia dropped 23 spots from 122 in 2012 to 145 this year in the World Press Freedom Index. In the 2011-2012 rankings Malaysia jointly held the 122nd spot with Tajikistan and Algeria.
According to the report, Malaysias ranking plummeted 23 spots due to constant lack of access to information.
The report acknowledged the NGOs and online medias work in pushing for more access to information.
However the government has been drifting towards authoritarianistic and repressive measures to curtail the access, stated the report.
This was illustrated by Putrajayas crackdown on Bersih 3.0 protest in April last year.
The RSF also stated that Putrajaya is constantly involved in repeated censorship efforts that undermine basic freedom, in particular the right to information.
Comparing Malaysias ranking with 12 other Southeast Asian countries including Papua New Guinea and East Timor this year, it appeared that Malaysia is placed in the middle of the chart.
In Southeast Asia; Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Brunei clinched the top three spots. Papua New Guinea is ranked 41; East Timor is at 90 followed by Brunei at 122.

Manuel Scott plans to share his message at a diversity summit at New Oxford High School.
Manuel Scott is never mentioned by name in the 2007 film Freedom Writers, but his story is deeply ingrained in it.
In the movie, a class at Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, Calif., is divided by ethnic lines and torn apart by abuse, violence and crime. But the students are transformed by Erin Gruwell's teaching methods. The group of students called themselves the Freedom Writers.
Scott was in the first class Gruwell ever taught as a 23-year-old student teacher. She had Holocaust survivors speak to students and bought books with her own money, working several jobs to pay for them.
The students named themselves the Freedom Writers, after the Freedom Riders of the civil rights movement. Through the
Manuel Scott lived in 26 places by age 16, he missed 60-90 days of school annually, he dropped out of school at the age of 14 and his father was incarcerated, according to Scott s website. He s one of the original Freedom Writers and will tell his story to the students of New Oxford High school on Oct. 7. (SUBMITTED)
Scott has traveled around the country for more than a decade to speak to school groups, telling his story. He'll share his message of how he came to believe he had a story worth telling at a diversity summit at New Oxford High School on Oct. 7.
Scott lived in 26 places by age 16, he missed 60-90 days of school annually, he dropped out of school at the age of 14 and his father was incarcerated, according to Scott's website. After an inspiring encounter with a complete stranger in a park who encouraged him to make something more of his life Scott returned to school and his life was changed in Gruwell's English class.
The
After graduating from Woodrow Wilson High School, Gruwell inspired Scott to attend the University of California, Berkeley, and then went to graduate school and is currently working on his Ph.Ds in intercultural studies at Trinity International University north of Chicago.

GWEN IFILL: In addition to last week's church bombing in Pakistan, Christians have also been targeted recently in Egypt and at last week's mall attack in Kenya. Is this merely a coincidence or is there a wider trend?
To explore that, I'm joined by U.S. Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom Suzan Johnson Cook.
Welcome again, Ambassador.
SUZAN JOHNSON COOK, U.S. ambassador-at-large for International Religious Freedom: Thank you. So wonderful to be with you. Thank you.
GWEN IFILL: We saw what Fred wrote about or broadcast just now just about Pakistan. Is this something which is a worldwide problem?
SUZAN JOHNSON COOK: Well, it is a worldwide problem.
RELATED INFORMATION
Pakistani Christians Targeted by Violence, Blasphemy Law
As ambassador for international religious freedom, my portfolio is 199 countries of the world. And so we see it frequently. First, though, I want to send my condolences for those who were the victims of attack, those who lost loved ones. We certainly want to send our condolences and sympathy.
It is not just recent. It's been throughout the world and throughout history. And it opens up the whole conversation of religious freedom. We have it in our Constitution that we have the right to believe what and when we want to believe, how we want to express that, but in many parts of the world, that is not true.

How Promotion of Religious Freedom Can Help Prevent Extreme Violence
Academic freedom is crucial to a strong democracy says Professor Jack Heinemann, co-chair of a soon to be launched group of academics out to defend academic freedom.
The group, Academic Freedom Aotearoa, will be a watchdog and advocacy group made up of academics from all around New Zealand. The group is committed to protecting and enhancing academic freedom and tertiary education institutions autonomous role as the critic and conscience of society.
"Academic freedom is the responsibility placed on scholars to present uncomfortable truths that might otherwise cost them their jobs, liberty and life at some times and in some places. Parliament uniquely gives this responsibility and right to staff and students at New Zealand universities. It is what makes New Zealand a dynamic place to live, learn, and innovate," says Professor Heinemann.
The group will launch itself publically on 4 October, which is the day before World Academic Freedom Day and World Teachers Day. You can find the groups website at academicfreedom.kiwi.nz
The groups other co-chair, Dr Sandra Grey, says one of the big threats to academic freedom in New Zealand at the moment is the way performance research funding is channelled towards research that is commercially applicable rather than research which challenges the government or big business.
"The space for academics who are researching and speaking out on things that the government does not want to hear is shrinking. They are losing research money and they are losing their positions as institutions shuffle them aside in search of performance funding," says Dr Grey.
Academic Freedom Aotearoa will hold two launch ceremonies:
Victoria University of Wellington, Friday 4 October, 3.30pm, outside Milk and Honey Caf, Kelburn campus.
University of Canterbury, Friday 4 October, 4pm, outside the Shilling Club on campus.

Blue skies and mid-70s temperatures have the makings of a lovely day at the beach. Although summer weather might be sounding its last hurrah, and it might have been the perfect day to enjoy the beach at Hatteras and Ocracoke, most of the beaches were closed to the public due to the federal government shutdown.
The shutdown officially began at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday andby daylight Park Service personnel were already erecting barricades and chaining ocean and soundside beaches, according to the Island Free Press.
Here is what is open and closed on the national seashore, based on info from the Island Free Press :
In Pea Island and other refuges visitor centers are closed and public access is not allowed on the beaches and trails.
In a news release today refuge manager Mike Bryant explained further, This means all public uses of these national wildlife refuges cease completely no hunting or fishing even hunts for which people have been issued special permits, like the Pungo Hunt scheduled for this week.
It means no birdwatching, no walking on the beaches or trails, and no driving to see bears. It means that these federally-owned lands are closed. The closure also includes Visitor Centers and offices. For refuge employees, it means no work. No checking e-mails, no posting on web pages, no management activities, and no public programs on or off the refuge. The few Refuge staff we have working will be limited to activities that protect of life and property or communications internally concerning the closure.
Store owners report frustration from visitors and residents alike.
People have to get creative about water access, and in Ocracoke need to know someone with private sound-side access. The 16 miles of beach and all of the soundside access not in Ocracoke village are on National Park Service land.

Scarborough would ban unleashed dogs on beaches under agreement
Beaches are far more than just places to hang out and enjoy the ocean. They are also buffers that take the brunt of crashing waves and save the land behind the beach, where people live and work, from being washed away. A new study has taken a stab at figuring out just how much land we could lose this century due to sea level rise, how many people will be forced to move and how much it will all cost. It also looks at what could happen if we try and fight back by artificially adding sand to beaches.
Across the...scenarios (we) considered, large areas of land could be lost if there is no adaptation," explained Jochen Hinkel of the Global Climate Forum in Berlin, Germany and first author on the new paper published in the journal Global and Planetary Change. "This paper presents a first assessment of the global effects of climate-induced sea-level rise on the erosion of sandy beaches and the loss of land that, in turn, forces people to move.
The five countries that will be most affected by land loss by 2100 are the United States, Australia, Mexico, Russian Federation and Brazil. These countries all have a long coastlines and lots of sandy beaches. As might be expected, four of these countries are among the top five countries in terms of their total length of sandy beaches: Australia (8,200 miles or 13,200 km), United States (8,000 miles, or 12,800 km), Brazil (3,800 miles, 6,100 km), Denmark (2,900 miles, 4,600 km) and Mexico (3,000 miles 4,900 km).
The team used six global mean sea-level rise scenarios for the 21st century, ranging from 0.2 to 0.8 meters, and six socio-economic scenarios. They also looked at what could happen with and without beach nourishment programs, like those that keep tourists coming to beaches in Florida.
Without beach nourishment, global loss of land could be 6,000 to 17,000 square kilometers (2,300 to 6,600 square miles) during the 21st century. If you packed all that land loss together, the area is comparable to the entire state of Delaware up to the entire state Hawaii. Spread out globally, however, that erosion would lead to the forced migration of between 1.6 and 5.3 million people at a cost of between $300 billion and $1 trillion, the researchers report.
The good news is that bringing in more sand, a process called beach nourishment, could really help. Some eight to 14 percent less land might be lost and 56 to 68 percent fewer people would have to move in this century. That could reduce the cost of forced migration by about 80 percent; bringing the financial burden of moving people to somewhere between $60 to $200 billion.
In terms of absolute costs, the five countries most affected would be the United States, Japan, Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands. But if you read that in terms of a country's overall human displacement costs, Kiribati, The Marshall Islands and Tuvalu pop to the top of the list.
Beyond the scope of the study, but related to it are the effects of beach losses on wildlife -- something of concern to sea turtle advocates, for instance.
"It's interesting that the Climate Action Plan by (Southeast) Florida counties (the best Sea Level Rise adoption effort to date in Florida) does not even mention beaches," noted Gary Appelson, policy coordinator for the Sea Turtle Conservancy. That said, sea turtles really don't need the wide beaches that humans prefer.
"Sea turtles do fine on high energy, very narrow beaches," Appelson said. "The problem is when we line these beaches with structures and infrastructure and the beach looses resiliency to recover from storm events." Just how that plays out in beach nourishment scenarios remains to be seen.

Published: Tuesday, October 1, 2013, 6:20 p.m.
The highlight of the first day was an unusual panel of three executives of publicly traded aerospace companies that represented every stage of the commercial jetliner market: supplier, airplane builder and airline.
The executives were Pat Shanahan, a senior vice president and general manager of airplane programs for Renton-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes; Brad Tilden, CEO of Alaska Air Group, which owns Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air; and Olivier Zarrouati, CEO and chairman of Zodiac Aerospace.
Many of Shanahan's remarks were, of course, about the billion-dollar question of where Boeing will build the 777X. More on that here.
Shanahan also spoke to the state of the industry ("It's an incredible market right now") and waxed philosophical about the implications of the complexity of building airplanes.
Like trees planted by Federal Way-based Weyerhaeuser Co., Shanahan said, "aerospace is a renewable industry," the products of which are built to last 40 or 50 years.
"Looks can be deceiving," he said. "Right now things are going great.
"But I'm thinking about the business I need to do now" to ensure airplanes are delivered and revenue is collected five and 10 years later -- the time between an airline's initial interest and a plane's delivery.
Plaisir, France-based Zodiac Aerospace supplies companies like Boeing with assemblies, components and parts, including airplane interiors, seats and evacuation systems. Zodiac employs 26,000 people worldwide -- 2,000 of them in Washington. Zarrouati agreed that managing aerospace companies requires insight.
"It's a very forward-looking industry," Zarrouati said. "A lot of us are not going to be there," years from now, "to face the decisions that we make today."
