This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Friday, August 5. We will get another break from extreme heat Friday before it returns on Saturday. According to the National Weather Service it will be sunny with a high near 88 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area on Friday, with a light wind. On Friday night it will be partly cloudy, with a low of around 71 degrees. An assailant who attacked three members of a Cedar Falls family who were camping last month at Maquoketa Caves State Park shot and stabbed the father, stabbed the mother and shot and strangled their 6-year-old daughter, state autopsy results revealed Thursday. The state medical examiner, who for the first time disclosed that family members had been stabbed or strangled, ruled the deaths were homicides. The Iowa Department of Public Safety also confirmed their attacker was Anthony Sherwin, 23, of LaVista, Neb., who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the family was attacked early July 22 in their tent. Sherwin was at the park camping with his parents at the time. Killed were Tyler Schmidt and Sarah Schmidt, both 42, and their daughter, Lula. Their son, Arlo, 9, survived the attack without physical injury but investigators have not said where in the park he was when the attack inside the tent occurred. Investigators indicated that there are indications for what the motive for the attack was, but they did not disclose them on Thursday. One of Iowa City's two female firefighters is suing the city for gender and sexual orientation discrimination, harassment and retaliation. Sadie McDowell, who has been on unpaid leave since 2021, said in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Johnson County District Court she has experienced “inappropriate sexist, sexual and racist comments,” as well as unwanted sexual contact and embarrassing situations, like someone stealing her pants while she was in the shower. “Throughout her ten-plus years of employment, Sadie heard male firefighters and fire officers make sexually inappropriate comments nearly every single day,” the 19-page lawsuit states. Saying she has developed mental health conditions including depression and stress-related disorders because of the incidents, McDowell is seeking a jury trial. The city of Iowa City denied McDowell's claims in a statement Thursday. Just in time for the University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art's long-awaited reopening on Aug. 26, its most heralded piece — Jackson Pollock's “Mural” — is back on campus after a long hiatus. “Mural” arrived home July 14 after nine years touring museums and entertaining millions in Europe and across the United States. Welcomed by museum Director Lauren Lessing in its 3,200-pound crate, “Mural” has been placed in its new home in the second-floor Chris and Suzy DeWolf Family Gallery. Displaced by the 2008 flood, like many UI collection pieces, the 8-by-20-foot “Mural” traveled to 14 venues at home and abroad. The museum will be officially dedicated Aug. 26, kicking off a two-day grand-opening celebration. Its inaugural exhibition, titled “Homecoming,” will display more than 600 works by 500-some artists, including “Mural,” which marks a “pivotal moment in Pollock's career.” 

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Tuesday, July 26. The heat will probably return soon, so let's enjoy this mild weather while we can this week. According to the National Weather Service it will be partly sunny with a high near 80 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area. Tuesday night there will be a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Besides that, it will be mostly cloudy, with a low of around 67 degrees. The wind will be calm all day.  Why did the shooting at Maquoketa State Park happen? It is a question that for now has investigators stumped. As they look for any connection between the family and the suspected shooter, they say they have uncovered little to establish a motive, noting they have not turned up any connection between Anthony Sherwin and those they say he killed at Maquoketa Caves State Park. Sherwin was later found dead in a wooded area of the park from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. What police have said is that Sherwin, 23, of the Omaha suburb of La Vista, had no criminal history before the attack, and investigators said he appeared to target the victims at random. Sherwin's parents, who had been camping with their son, expressed incomprehension that he would carry out such an attack. Cecilia Sherwin told the Omaha-World Herald Sunday that she believes her son went to help the family after hearing gunshots. She said their family does not accept the version of events described by police. In addition to Sherwin, Tyler Schmidt, 42; his 42-year-old wife, Sarah Schmidt; and their 6-year-old daughter, Lula Schmidt, all died in the attack. Personal information from staff at the Cedar Rapids Community School District may have been included in data stolen earlier this month in a cybersecurity breach, a memo from the district reveals. The stolen data potentially included staff members' full names, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, bank account and routing numbers, and medical information including diagnosis and treatment information or health insurance information, according to a letter mailed to staff — obtained by The Gazette — dated July 22. The Cedar Rapids Community School District has 3,500 employees. All authorized access to district networks has been disabled and an investigation is being conducted by the district with external cybersecurity professionals, according to the letter. Hobby Town owners Niels and Musetta Christiansen plan to close their hobby shop at 3655 First Ave. SE in Cedar Rapids, with all merchandise, equipment and fixtures for sale and regular prices discounted up to 50 percent. The Town and Country Shopping Center shop will hold a private sale starting at 9 a.m. Wednesday, then open to the general public at 9 a.m. Thursday. according to a news release sent by Retail Sales Pro, the Florida-based company hired to facilitate the sale. Inflation and rising rent costs were cited as the primary reasons for closing the retail venue. The store sells a variety of hobby items including remote control cars, trains and airplanes, along with games, rockets, models, puzzles, kites, paint, parts and tools.

This is John McGlothlen with The Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Monday, July 25th. According to the National Weather Service, we can expect increasing clouds today, with a high near 77 in the Cedar Rapids area. 5 mph winds from the northeast will shift and come from the southwest in the afternoon. Then tonight, we'll have a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1 a.m. and a low around 61. A 9-year-old Cedar Falls boy was spared in an attack that killed his parents and younger sister early Friday as they camped at the Maquoketa Caves State Park in Eastern Iowa, according to the mayor of Cedar Falls. Mayor Rob Green issued a statement on Facebook saying that the family's son, Arlo, "survived the attack, and is safe." The Iowa Department of Public Safety identified the victims as Tyler Schmidt, 42; his 42-year-old wife, Sarah Schmidt; and their 6-year-old daughter, Lula Schmidt. Their bodies were found in their tent early Friday, and investigators said they had been shot. Authorities said the suspected gunman, 23-year-old Anthony Sherwin of Nebraska, was found dead in a wooded area of the park with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Mitch Mortvedt, assistant director of the Department of Public Safety's Division of Criminal Investigation, told the Associated Press on Saturday that the motive for the attack was still unknown. –

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Saturday, July 23, and Sunday, July 24. It will be a hot weekend to start, a wet weekend at times, and a breezy weekend all the time. According to the National Weather Service, there will be a high near 96 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area on Saturday with a heat index as high as 104. After some rain early Saturday morning there will be a good chance for rain late Saturday night into Sunday morning. There will be a reduced chance for rain of about 30 percent until about 1 p.m. on Sunday. It will also be much cooler, Sunday, with a predicted high of 86 degrees and a low of around 64 degrees. Winds will hover between 5 to 15 mph for the weekend and could gust as high as 25 mph at times. Next week, it is looking to be a bit cooler still, with a chance for rain returning again. Three family members from Cedar Falls were killed while camping Friday at Maquoketa Caves State Park, and the suspected Nebraska gunman then shot and killed himself, law enforcement officials said. Officers were called to the park's campground before 6:30 a.m., the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said in a statement. Officers found three people fatally shot in a tent at the campground, DCI Assistant Director Mitch Mortvedt said. The DCI identified the three Friday evening as Tyler Schmidt, 42, Sarah Schmidt, 42, and Lulu Schmidt, 6. Investigators did not say how the three were related or provide a motive for the attack. The suspected gunman was identified as Anthony Orlando Sherwin, 23, of Nebraska. Investigators do not believe he had any prior relationship with the Schmidt family, Mortvedt said. The nation's winningest high school softball coach, Larry Niemeyer died at 84 Thursday night, following a longtime battle with illness. Niemeyer won 2,089 https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/high-school/2022/07/21/iowa-high-school-softball-state-tournament-winterset-dallas-center-grimes-dcg-score-ighsau/10122055002/ (softball games) over a decorated career at Adel and Cedar Rapids Jefferson, while also racking up 871 wins and a state title as Jefferson's girls basketball coach.  “In my opinion, he is the greatest high school coach there has ever been,” Waterloo West girls' basketball coach Tony Pappas said. “To coach for 52 years, two sports and excel at that high of a level, it's unbelievable. A state panel gave final approval Friday to awarding Cedar Rapids $9 million that will give a boost to development in Cedar Rapids' urban core, funding new recreational amenities and infrastructure that will support the area's growth.

On this episode Nick sits down with Tyler Schmidt. Tyler wears a lot of hats - and one of them is a firefighter's helmet. By day he's a husband, a father, and a machine maintenance engineer at a local shop. By night he's one of the heroes many of us take for granted – rescuing kittens from trees, saving the public from flaming automobile crashes, and making breakfast for little old ladies. Tune in to learn all about Tyler's trade school experience, his heartwarming EMT/Firefighting stories, and how to fight the system – from the inside. 

It can be pretty easy to call yourself a Christian and believe you are treating others as such if you stay within your inner circle of family and friends.  But the question that Strong Dads felt challenged by was - When was the last time you talked to someone outside your circle?  People that maybe live a different lifestyle, or have experiences that are vastly different than your own.  Christ calls us to love each other.  That love is unconditional love.  The kind of love that goes past boundaries and prejudices.  The kind of love that sees the heart of a human and recognizes it as being every bit as important as their own.  In this show, Kyle and Hutch bring about a guest from the past, Tyler Schmidt.  Tyler is the founder of The LIT Movement. (Living in Testimony).  This movement is about working with, encouraging, and challenging, the addicts.  Most of what Tyler sees are men that seem like they are on their last chance in life.  They are often homeless, jobless, and even "famililess".  They have no place to turn and have no future on their current tract.  Because of their addiction, they have lost relationships and blown opportunities in multiple areas of life.  We would say they are at rock-bottom.  But, as crazy as it seems, many find a new level of rock-bottom by staying in the addictive lifestyle.  As Tyler says: "Their brains are not open for business.".  They can say all the right things and believe all the right things, but the power of addiction continues to devour them.  With all that being said, they are still people.  They all have a story.  They have family and responsibilities.  They have purpose!  We are not called to kick them to the streets. We are called to love them.  The question becomes: How do you love an addict?" This is the conversation that Tyler helps us with as we learn more about the mind of the addict and how to care for them in a loving way that gives the best opportunity for sobriety and life. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, reach out to the Lit Movement. www.TheLitMoveMent.org  or call  513-713-5728  Links to past shows with Tyler Schmidt - The Lit MovementPart 1 - https://www.buzzsprout.com/327062/8125565Part 2 - https://www.buzzsprout.com/327062/8131066Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=R4Q39E32XTBEC)

In the final episode of season 1 of the PennyDrops Podcast, we welcome Tyler Schmidt, the president of PennyDrops at MacEwan, as well as Lovely Ranges, chapter president of PennyDrops at SFU. Hear them discuss the differences in the financial literacy landscapes across Canada, as well as the differences between running a chapter in their respective provinces.

This story is amazing! When we surrender to God, he uses our mess to create mission!  In part 1, Tyler Schmidt shared his story of addiction.  The long battle of being in chains and watching life move without purpose.  The depression is deep and the pain is real.  Part 2, Tyler describes his transformation and what God does with a transformed heart.  He turned Tyler's wreckage into a beautiful creation called, The Lit Movement.  Lit is a nonprofit that seeks to provide a place for those battling the chains of addiction and helping them to break free.  The housing they provide creates a safe place that allows for the rebuilding of a persons mind, body, and soul.  This work is lifesaving and nothing short of inspiration to all of those who encounter it. If you or someone you know is battling addiction, please seek help.  Reach out to The Lit Movement at: thelitmovement.org or call 513-591-8829Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=R4Q39E32XTBEC)

It's Eat Meat Week!  Enjoy as much meat as you desire for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  The America's Veteran's Stories is starting a new series.  The book Echoes of Our War: Vietnam Veterans Reflect 50 Years Later presented by Col. Bob Fischer features veterans that will be on Kim's show starting this Sunday on KLZ, 3-4pm.  HB21-1164 Total Program Mill Levy Tax Credit will result in real estate tax increases without a vote of the people, clearly ignoring TABOR. Lorne Levy, mortgage specialist with Polygon Financial, comments that interest rates have been holding steady.  With the threat of inflation, now is a good time to get pre-qualified in order to know what your buying power is as you search for your home.  Give Lorne a call at 303-880-8881. What's for dinner?  Meat!  Tyler Schmidt, owner of Two Rivers BBQ in South Fork, CO, will have his Meat In event on March 20th throughout the day.  10% of proceeds will go to benefit 4H and FFA (Future Farmers of America) groups in the valley and to support the hard-working farmers and ranchers in the valley.  Willie Altenburg notes that the Centennial Livestock Auction inn Fort Collins will be hosting a  BBQ on March 20th.  The event coincides with their annual bull sale, 120 bulls to be exact.  Come by from 11:30am-4pm for great BBQ. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, states that the Meat Out Day Proclamation by Gov. Polis is not wise as it affects the economy, the producer and the consumer.  Agriculture is the second highest producing industry in the state.  So plan ahead and make sure you are fully stocked with all your meat for Saturday.  Planning is important, especially for your retirement years.  Jason can help you create a plan and search for solutions that will help when uncertain times are present.  You can always participate in the market as there are options to choose from.  Jason can be contacted at 303-694-1600. Guest Brad Beck, co-founder of Liberty Toastmasters, joins Kim to discuss “cultural appropriations” and his most recent op-ed, Catching Leprechauns (https://kimmonson.com/featured_articles/catching-leprechauns/).   It is now mandatory in some circles to celebrate certain holidays from afar.  This is opposed to our unique melting pot acknowledging the culture and heritage of all.  The 1776 Project informs us that we see the roots of this in Marxism.  PBIs (Politicians, Bureaucrats and Interested Parties) intentionally want to divide us into categories as this gives them power, control and money.  Special rights for specific categories negate equal rights.  Western civilization needs to survive the assault against it.  The American Idea is unique in that it protects individual rights and property rights.

What is the Lit Movement? If you don't know, you must listen to this show. Tyler Schmidt is a living example of how God transforms a man into a new creation. After many years of brokenness, addiction, uncertainty, and trouble, Tyler walked through a long process of surrender. When he finally did just that, his life was transformed. If you or someone you know is battling addiction or anything other burdens in life, this is a must listen to show. Tyler's testimony is a reflection of God's love and grace.

On this episode of Brandstorm, Co-hosts Dan Trzinski and Nancy Christopher are joined by Rob Brennan and Tyler Schmidt, two digital marketing specialists at Platypus Advertising + Design, to talk about geofencing and OTT. We’ll find out the benefits to marketers and how it is used in advertising. What is Geofencing and OTT? Geofencing uses location-based technology, like GPS or WiFi, with mobile devices like your smart phone to serve messages to consumers within a targeted geography or area of high relevance. A geofence is a virtual perimeter around a real-world geography. It could be one or more physical locations like a store, a zip code or even the addresses of those on an email list. When someone with a mobile device enters that targeted location, the geofence acts as a trigger to serve an ad. Its uses in advertising are endless...from promoting a product or service with special discounts or offers and  encouraging visitors to go to a special attraction to inviting people to your booth at a trade show or pampering your fans with loyalty rewards, for example. OTT stands for “over-the-top,” the term used for the delivery of film and TV content via the internet, without requiring users to subscribe to a traditional cable or satellite pay-TV service like a Comcast or Time Warner Cable. OTT and Geofencing work well together. You can set up fences within homes with streaming devices like Roku, Apple TV or Amazon Fire. Advertisers can follow consumers based on specific demographics and criteria no matter what they are watching. Benefits of Geofencing Relevancy and value are the biggest benefits of geofencing, according to Rob. If you have done your homework and know your target audience, it is possible to serve the right message to the right person at the right time. The more defined your target audience is, the more relevant your message will be to them. Value is also significant. Geofencing allows marketers to deliver massive amounts of impressions to targeted audiences at a fraction of cost of traditional media. In the Milwaukee area, the cost is typically between $7 to $10 per thousand, but it will vary in other markets. Targeting Audiences While advertisers can target customers using demographics like age, gender and household incomes, Tyler says geofencing enables you to dive deeper using contextual search, interests and purchasing, browsing and behavioral history. With this criterion, advertisers can get specific. For instance, if you are in a car wreck, you might receive messages from a rental car company, a car dealer, an auto shop, or a personal injury attorney. Privacy Issues Your phone is a GPS unit. While you can limit the number of in-phone apps you are using, you can never be completely off the radar. Smart phones can still be tracked even if all location services and GPS have been turned off. If you want complete privacy, Rob suggests that you buy a burner phone. Questions to Ask Your Geofencing Vendors There are a lot of media outlets, including television stations, radio stations, billboard companies and newspapers, getting into geofencing as an extra revenue stream. There is nothing wrong with this, however you may be spending more for your services going through second, third and fourth parties who are reselling the service. Ad agencies, like Platypus, have direct access to data providers. Secondly, digital marketing in general is not the primary service these media outlets provide. Ad agencies, like Platypus, have digital marketing specialists like Rob and Tyler, whose sole responsibilities are working with you to develop campaign strategies and manage your ad accounts every day. So, here are two important questions to ask your potential vendor: What is your company’s core business? What is your access to the data provider’s inventory? Are there any limits or competitive disadvantages when bidding on the inventory? ROI Geofencing can be easily tracked based on what you need to measure success, be it the number of impressions, click-thru-rates or number of conversions. The real exciting point is that it answers an advertiser’s question of whether a consumer has seen an ad and responded. It can actually track a potential customer going into your business and making a transaction. And geofencing works no matter what size your company is. For as little as $2,000/month, you can achieve amazing results.

PowerCast episode originally published Feb 28, 2017. Back in the early days of the Sling Shot business, Mark’s dad gave him a copy of the audio version of Gary Vaynerchuk’s book Crush It! This book helped Mark and his wife strategize how to promote the business using social media. Obviously, having Gary on the podcast was a dream come true. Recorded at Vayner Media in New York City, Gary sat down with Mark, Jim, Mark’s wife Andee Bell, Gary’s trainer (and powerlifter) Jordan Syatt, and Gary’s assistant Tyler Schmidt. Gary and his family emigrated from the Soviet Union in the late ‘70s. Gary took over management of his father’s liquor store in 1999, turning it into the online marketing juggernaut Wine Library. Using video and social media, annual revenue grew from $3 million to $60 million in just a few years. He became an early investor in Facebook, Twitter, Uber, as well as many other success businesses when they were just startups. Now, he runs Vayner Media, a social media focused digital media agency, with his brother. A few years ago, Gary started putting an emphasis on fitness amid his crazy busy schedule. He comments on the current state of social media entrepreneurship, growing up the child of hardworking immigrant parents, how he tries to balance work and family, and what it takes to succeed in business in our current environment. We had the best fucking day.
