  • Parks and Recreation 8
    Parks and Recreation 8 Parks and Recreation Introduction Past versions of the Johnston Comprehensive Plan have addressed parks and recreation in a fairly traditional manner by analyzing the components of the park system and making recommendations to meet future needs. This version of the plan retains this analytical approach while seeking to position Johnston to truly integrate parks and recreation into the daily lives of Johnston’s residents. This integration is known as active living. Active living is integrating physical activity into daily life. This integration is becoming more important than ever given on-going increases in adult and child obesity rates. Adult obesity rates increased in 28 states from 2009 to 2010 and declined only in the District of Columbia according to F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future 2010, a report from the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. More than two-thirds of the states (38) have adult obesity rates above 25 percent. In 1991, no state had an obesity rate above 20 percent. Iowa is representative of these statistics for the adult population. From 2007 to 2009, 27.6% of Iowa’s adults were considered obese. The state ranked 22nd in adult obesity. Fortunately, the obese and overweight rate for Iowa’s children aged 10 to 17 was only 11.2% compared to the national average of 31.7%. Iowa was ranked #46 in child obesity. Obesity rates are only one indicator of a society that has become more sedentary. Today, parks and playfields compete with interactive gaming and other media opportunities.

  • The Soul Searchers
    THE SOUL SEARCHERS This hard­swinging band from Des Moines, Iowa, plays more than 100 dates a year in Des Moines and neighboring small towns and cities including Ames, Iowa City, and Omaha, and Minneapolis. Playing originals and lesser­known music by the likes of T­Bone Walker, Freddie King, and Otis Rush, The Soul Searchers create a smooth, groove­based blend of blues, jazz, rockabilly, and surf music. The band has won the Iowa Blues Challenge, has appeared on the mainstage at Davenport’s Mississippi Valley Blues Festival, has performed several Jazz in July concerts, and has been featured on Iowa Public Radio and Iowa Public Television. The band's core members include guitarist/singer Scott Eggleston, upright bassist Erich Gaukel, and drummer Mark Grimm. When the band performs as a quartet or quintet, they are joined by saxophonist Nathan Peoples (also with the The Blue Band) and/or pianist/organist Neil Stoffregen (also with The Nadas). In its annual international competition for the best self­produced blues album, The Memphis­based Blues Foundation named The Soul Searchers self­titled CD one of top­10 self­produced blues albums. To date, the CD has been sold in 13 countries. Here are what the critics said about the CD: "Whether it’s a five­course meal, or a romantic interlude, or sultry blues, anticipation is what stimulates the senses and makes the payoff rewarding. Such is the case with Des Moines’ hippest blues band, The Soul Searchers. It took the group about 15 years to record its full­length album, but in the end, it doesn’t disappoint.
