Many salons require parental permission for those under 18. But who will lobby lawmakers say an age ban is better. Its not something im ever going to give up on, its important to me and a lot of iowans that teenagers arent able to tan even with parental consent. We want it to be theyre not allowed to do it. Melanoma rates are increasing astronomically and its a clear correlation streit says some tanning salon owners say minors dont make up a large percentage of the tanning business.

Kcrgtv9s Dubuque Bureau chief Katie Wiedemann shows us some shelters that are running into a problem all is quiet during the daytime hours at the maria house. But after dark, this transition home for women is in dire need of volunteer workers to staff the overnight hours. Its hours like those administrators say appear to be daunting. It seems on paper someone is like, i am working an 11 hour shift. That looks like its going to be a lot of time and work. The maria house needs female volunteers, over the age of 18, to staff the house from 8 pm to 7 am. Maria house administrator s says the overnight volunteer has her own bedroom and bathroom and can sleep during the shift. Its essentially just like being on call, except you are on site.

Mark, you spoke with Iowa City Police chief Sam Hargadine about this. What does he think . Hargadine says at this point its just not practical.
