brings us more . bria: rebecca anderson is a fighter and her family and friends know that. after being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, rebecca's loved ones came together to help out by raising money through a live auction called benefit for becky.

"never in my mind did i imagine that it would be this huge of a turn out...it's amazing all the people that came together and donated items,

got everything prepped," says anderson. items donated will be auctioned off and proceeds from the benefit will help to assist the anderson family with medical expenses. anderson's cancer has been deemed to be stage 4 and she will have over 25 weeks of chemo and radiation combined as she continues the fight for her life. she says her jounrey has allowed her to view life with a new perspective. "you never know when you're gonna leave this earth, so i think it's just taking one day at a time and being aware of your surroundings and just love life," says anderson. bria: rebecca has a fundraising page set up in her name if you woulullike to help out and a link t tthat can be found on our website at siouxland matters dot com. reporting in studio, bria bell abc 9 news. jess today...the launch pad had a v-i-p preview for members-only, showcaseing the new children's museum. screams and

folks with " launch-pad memberships" explored the new chrildren's museum in sioux cici. described bebe as a hands-on ....gionally based, physics, and engineering experience, explorers can gain insight and a colorful and fun environment. the museum is set to open to the public, february 11th. abc 9 was able to speak to those who were happy to get out and enjoy their weekend at bacon creek park. "for a feburary day...get out with the old man do some ice fishing. we had a blizzard this past week so it's nice just to get out and stop scoopin snow and catch som efish hopefully...we just got here, so far it's been pretty slow, but we'l'lsee. that's why they call it fishing, not catching," says if you have any pictures from today showcasing your fun filled activites, send them our way to facebook and twitter. jess authorities out in wisconsin are doing a little ice- fishing themselves, but for something a little different-- sunken cars! a number of them fell through

winterfest and u.s. snow sculpting competititn. the lake geneva fire department is on hand working to get the vehicles from the ice. officials there say no people were inside the sunken cars. no word yet on how man vehicles were swallowed by the ice. jess in international news... rescue efforts continue tonight after a 6 point 4 magnitude earthquake shook taiwan...collapsin g a 16-story apartment building. taiwan is promising to investigate wh the high-rise apartment building fell. at least 14 people are confirmed dead and close to 500 injured. while 200 peoplele were rescued from fallen n debris, search crews are still looking for others who may be trapped. more than one hundred and fifty individuals are still unaccounted for. jess some lawmakers met with families affected by the dirty water problem in flint, michigan.. they're calling for action to help those hurt by the tainted water. in april 20-14 flint's water supply was switched from lake huron to the flint river, in a cost-cutting move. it didn't take long

was wrong. but according to some.....state officicis did nothing to fix the situation. rep. brenda lawrence/(d) michigan "and some people are saying this is politics. no, this is moral. this is a human rights issue." governor rick snyder hopes the democrats who visited saturday will do their part in washington to get the federal assistance he's already requested passed and put to work in flint. jess if you happen to live next to bernie sanders... there's a different kind of neighborhood watch. sanders began receiving secret service protection wednesday. it was was granted by homeland security after a vermont campaign. drawing some of the largest crowds. a private security accompanying him at some of his stops. enough out front of his burlington home were agents- a large s-u-v and ev a port-a- potty. neighbors think it's all pretty cool...to have the secret service around. wish to be "they sit out there in but they're friendly. come home and

all for us." "there's not been really any chahae at all in theheeeling of the neighborhood other than it't'kind of exciting." sanders is the fourth presidential candidate to receive secret service protection during this campaign cycle. democratic front-runner hillary clinton already has a secret service detail because of her status as a former first lady. republican presidential hopefuls donald trump and ben carson began receiving protection last fall. jess new hampshire may be small-- but there is a lot at stake. traditionally voter turn out is high, roughly 30 percent. and with 23 total delegates for republicans and 32 on the democratic side, this helps explain why presidential candidates cant afford to take this time for granted. cnn's fredricka whitfield reports. "in the final push across the granite state, candidates are energizing big crowds and getting personal. (nat sound) new hampshire voters are tough, traditionally setting the bar high, expecting face time and demanding candidates understand what they need. jennifer horn/chairman of the new hampshire republican party

want to hehe a different message they want sinceritit and consistencncbut they do alsoect these candidates who are running for highest office of the land to understand their concerns locally as well." (reporter question) "do you think candidates are put to a test in a different way here?" ray buckley/chairman of the new hampshire democratic party "oh absolutely, really significantly, because as president of state chair association, i get to go to all the state party event, and its like madonna is showing up or lady gaga likme rock star and that there's so amazed people are in the same room as them, people in new hampshirirare like 'yeah, whatever, at is your position on nuclear disarmament, what is your position on healthcare?'" the leaders of the states democratic and republican parties agree on something else: voters don't tow the party line. (reporter question) "and this is a red state though?" ray buckley/chairman of the new hampshire democratic party "purple state fredricka, purple state." (reporter question) "so anything goes, is that what your feeling?" ray buckley/chairman of the new hampshire democratic party

plus those are unregistered can register that morning and vote." jennifer hornrnhairman of the new hampshire republican party "new hampshire is notoriously independent in their decision making and i say all the time whether they are registered republican or democrat or an independent they consider themselves to be independent.
