Linn County supervisor, sister give birth 30 minutes apart

CEDAR RAPIDS — The Zumbach sisters are so in sync they gave birth on the same day. It wasn’t something they had planned — Allison Sweeney’s baby was due on Halloween, and Linn County Supervisor Brandy Meisheid’s due date was Nov. 13. But the babies — both boys — arrived Thursday, Oct. 22, within 29 minutes of each other. Meisheid, concerned about her blood pressure, went to UnityPoint Health-St. Luke’s Hospital following a 6½-hour meeting Tuesday on Alliant Energy’s rezoning application for its proposed natural gas plant. At the end of the meeting, the three supervisors unanimously rejected the application. At the hospital, Meisheid was told to return Wednesday, and labor was induced at 6 p.m. Sweeney, a fourth-grade teacher in the Monticello school district, wasn’t in a hurry to deliver. But her water broke at 4 a.m. Thursday, and she went to the St. Luke’s Birth Center at 9 a.m. “I told my husband, ‘I don’t think I’m actually going to school,’” Sweeney said. “From there, it was kind of a joke, but a race to the finish line,” Meisheid said. Not only were the sisters in labor at the same time, their delivery rooms were side-by-side. Sweeney said

Clearopathra, Scoopy Doo among Linn County snowplow names

Keep an eye out this winter for Clearopathra, SnobiWanKenobi and other playfully named Linn County snowplows. The Linn County Secondary Roads Department last week announced the eight new names for its county-owned snowplows. Name ideas were submitted by county residents and then voted on by members of the public to select winners. More than 200 name submissions were turned in and more than 450 residents voted for their favorites from the list of 44 finalists. The winners are: Dolly Plowton, submitted by Kristen Hamilton-Stone of Cedar Rapids.Clearopathra, submitted by Ron Jurkowski of Marion.Scoop Dogg, submitted by Darcy Coulbourn of Center Point.Ctrl/Salt/Del, submitted by Dennis Chandler of Cedar Rapids.SnobiWanKenobi, submitted by Rosy Martinez-White of Cedar Rapids.PlowingForDake, submitted by Karen Merta of Palo.Scoopy Doo, submitted by Jon Fasselius of Marion.Fast&Flurrious, submitted by Ryan Hocke of Cedar Rapids. Most of the winning names were humorous in nature, but the county said one in particular holds special meaning to Secondary Roads staff. PlowingForDake honors Adam Dake, a team member who died from cancer this past year. The winning names were stenciled onto their respective Linn County snowplows and will be incorporated into the county’s online Track-a-Plow system that allows residents to see where plows
