Dance Marathon 2013: families Chauncey sparks Seeing hope, not cancer opposition

By Nick Hassett [email protected]

After a 6-1 Iowa City City Council vote to approve building a 20-story building at the intersection of College and Gilbert Streets, many thought the matter had been settled. But one local group is still fighting for alternatives. The Iowa Coalition Against the Shad- ow, a group headed by Iowa City residents Jon Fogarty and Rockne Cole, met at the Iowa City Public Library, 123 S. Linn St., on Monday night to discuss ways to stop the development, The Chauncey. “We want citizens’ voices to be heard, and the decision that’s made reflect com- munity values,” Cole said. “This is our park, our commons, and we all want in- put into this.” The Chauncey proposal included res- idential and office space as well as en- tertainment venues, with a focus on the latter. The 20-story building would also include two FilmScene theaters. With all the chairs in the meeting room taken, people lined the back of the room, and though their name suggests opposi- tion to the height of the building, their grievances with the Chauncey were as varied as they were numbered. The first plan of action for the group is to push for certain zoning for the planned Ellie Capaldo (center) plays with grandmother Cindy Capaldo on Jan. 8, and sister Addison after a family dinner in Keokuk, Iowa, on Jan. 26.

It won’t take much to get negative feedback from someone looking for different results. Change will be necessary, but it has to be something that is wanted by everyone involved. Look before you leap. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make a financial move that will help you accumulate more money. An investment that is solid but unique will allow you to make a professional move.

Tiger, again, owns Torrey Pines By DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Tiger Woods was so good for so long at Torrey Pines that it didn’t matter how bad it looked at the end. In a finish that was fitting for such a long and exasperating week, Woods built an 8-shot lead with five holes to play on Monday until he lost patience with the slow play and started losing shots that only de- termined the margin of victory. Despite two bogeys and a double bogey in the final hour, he closed with an even-par 72 for a four-shot victory in the Farmers In- surance Open. Tiger Woods sends divots flying as he tees off on the eighth hole of the South Course at San Diego’s Torrey Pines “I’m excited the way I during the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open golf tournament, which he won Monday.
