Jack and in the courtroom today, accused shooter pete polson taking the stand for the first time. Hear his apology and a shocking revelation about his past. Stephanie but first, its a population boom in waukee and the schools district is struggling to keep up. The district says they have to redraw the boundaries. Why parents say local 5 news at 10 in hd starts now. We are iowa stephanie 2shot waukee parents are outraged after learning their children might have to switch schools. Again. Good evening. Im stephanie angleson. Jack 2shot and im jack miller. Tonight, plans were discussed for yet another school re districting in waukee. The ever growing suburb has had to do this seven times in the past 20 years. Some parents are angry their kids will have to keep switching schools. Jack local fives kattey ortiz spoke with those parents tonight. She joins us live from waukee with more. Kattey . Kattey live big turnout tonight here at Waukee High School for the final public forum for the latest rezoning. Not everyone is happy some parents even handing out these flyers explaining why they think this is a bad move. In her hand Carrie Schoenbaum is holding a flyer that serves as a plea to waukee schools to rethink before they rezone. The biggest concern i have is we live a half mile from the Current School that we go to and the proposed move has us going five miles. She says her third grader will go from nearby walnut hills elementary to the new grant ragan elementary which will be four and a half miles away. At the final public forum for parents. She made it clear none of it makes sense to her. Wed be passing another Elementary School which is about a mile and a half from our house to get to this other school thats five miles away. The School District is growing rapidly 650 new students were enrolled this year alone. The superintendent says these changes are necessary. Walnut hill has been over capacity the last couple of years, maple grove is nearing capacity, schuhur elementary, theyre all getting some type of relief from this new school opening. The rezoning process is far from over. A ninth Elementary School is scheduled to open in 2019. And a Second High School in 2021. A headache for carrie. The proposal would have him moving again would have attended three schools. And for you thats not okay. Under no set of facts is that okay. Nobody ever wants to change, but the reality is when youre growing as rapidly as we are, every once in a while those boundaries need to be adjusted to accomodate the growth. Kattey live the district will use tonights feedback to tweak the scenario before they bring their final proposal to the board next month. The board will then decide on that proposal come december. Live in waukee kattey ortiz local five news we are iowa.

Stephanie Governor Terry branstad also joined in on the event signing a proclamation of white cane safety day for the state. Jack a prickly problem for construction workers in sioux city tonight. A road projects been delayed because of an endangered plant, iowas native cacti. About 100 prickly pear cactus were found in the area where a road was supposed to be built. Its a plant that only shows up in seven places around the state. At first it was thought tax payers would have to pay for changes to the road design. But now it looks as if itll go forward with minor changes and at no additional cost. Theres minor adjustments to the grade and the curvature of the roadway, but overall for the project there really isnt much of an increase or change in the cost. We havent made that determination yet, but we dont believe it that there will be that impact, said ellis. Jack the plants will be baracaded for their protection during the remainder of construction. The road should be done in the spring. Stephanie sports director Jon Schaeffer in now and jonsteve prohm adjusting pretty well in ames jon yeahhe told me hes getting settled in but coming up on local 5 sports he also talks about not having much time to really reflect on everything thats happened thats next. Now, local 5 sports are iowa jon fred hoiberg and steve prohm arent that different. Both very good guys both family oriented but most fans havent really gotten to see steve prohm all that much. So last week when i sat down with him we talked about a variety of things coaching, players, but most importantly how hes adjusting to life in iowa. Steve prohms summer of 2015 has been a whirlwind. Making the transition from murray state to for prohm who spent nearly a decade with the racers. steve prohm isu head coach you know any transition is tough this is the first time ive made a transition with a wife with a son every other time ive made a coaching move or move cities i was single or i was a child. Prohm and his family havent had a chance to let this all sink in with that trip to spain over the summer and then getting this team ready for the new season. We havent really had time to sit down and hug had a nice night out or a nice weekend and just said man can you believe this man im the head coach at iowa state and were really blessed says prohm. Prohm doesnt expect it to happen until maybe next spring. Itd probably come after a couple of big wins but it wont probably officially come until we finish up a great year and we can go to the beach for a week. One thing that really drives the new bench boss for iowa state is his faith. Something he hopes that it could help the young men hes coaching, the Community Around him and beyond. I told somebody the other day they said i cant pray with them i just will pray for them in hopes that they make good decisions that they impact people and that they are successful in life. Im a leader in this community. Im a husband im a father and im a basketball coach but i dont want to be known as just the basketball coach i want to be known as a man who has impacted people not only in this team or in this program but in this community and now because im in the big 12 and our market is so big hopefully nationally. As for the game itself prohm couldnt be more excited to see what hilton magic is like first hand. Thats the one thing. Ive heard it on tv, ive seen it, i know its a big time atmosphere and i cant wait for i know the nov. 6th game but the 16th our first home game just to see what the electricity is really like. And the big 12 Preseason Poll came out voted on by coaches and iowa state getting less love from their own conference than they do nationally the cyclones are picked to finish third but did get one first place vote kansas is a unanimous favorite and then its oklahoma. Texas and baylor round out the top 5 of the 10 teams in the conference. Jon as a senior its only max karpinskes first year as the starting quarterback the north polk comets and hes making it count. The southpaw has some impressive numbers and looking to add to t tm by seasons end. North polk quarterback max karpinsky hadnt been the starting man under center until this year. I played strictly defense last year and i loved it. Just fun to go out there and fly around make plays. This season you could say hes doing more of the same just with the offense. Hes flying the ball around and making plenty of plays. Max is a great athlete its always been a work in progress throwing it but hes worked on his fundamentals and hes a kid that really processes well and so hes able to make good decisions in the passing game and has really gotten better all season gotten sharper. Hes the number three quarterback in 2a when it comes to passing yards. Karpinsky has thrown it one thousand four four yards this season to be Successful Team i have great playmakers receivers able to make something out of nothing and also inside on top of the passing numbers karpinsky leads the comets in rushing with 331 yards. Hes a threat on the ground and uses it it always helps when your quarterback can run it because you gain a blocker so we knew that going in we thought that was one of the reasons that maybe he could succeed. And hes going to keep succeeding if he sticks to the three words printed on the comets practice jerseys. Passion, sacrifice and loyalty its just our team motto its what we do. Jon 3shot wrap sports Stephanie Jack well be right back. Youre stephanie its harvest season across the state, but imagine harvesting 2 Hundred Acres of crops in just one day. A group of iowans came together to accomplish this daunting task for bob pflughapt fluhaap after he had a stroke last summer. The stroke affected his mobility, making his job almost impossible. I feel alright, just cant walk. Cant get around. Larry bridgewater friend if he was able, hed be out here helping if somebody was in need, if he could do it, hed be out here just like anybody else.
