Two columnists team up to analyze election results from a conservative view.
Tea-drinking aficionados in the Cedar Valley now have a new place that could turn out to be their proverbial cup of tea: the newly founded Tea Cellar, located on Main Street in Cedar Falls, under Basket of Daisies. Justeen Hill, Waterloo native and owner of Tea Cellar, has gone to considerable lengths in order to make the local tea shop a welcoming place for students, family and friends in the past two weeks since their opening. “I wanted to make sure that they had an experience,

rather than just a cup of tea across a counter,” Hill said. When one walks down the wooden steps into Tea Cellar, it is apparent that every detail matters. Assortments of loose tea and kettles greet customers upon entering the shop. The large cobblestone wall, combined with the soft lighting and wooden tables, gives the room an inviting warmth that some customers say provides the tea shop with a unique atmosphere. “Just the lighting, the tables, the small business feel of it – it’s just kind of fun,” said Davis Thompson, an Iowa State graduate living in Cedar Falls. “It limits distractions too. It’s a
Students rally post-election JOSH DAUSENER Staff Writer
As some UNI students continue to come to terms with the result of the US presidential election, Sabrina Santos, a senior economics, finance and history major, organized a rally that encouraged students to make their voices heard. The rally took place yesterday afternoon on the Maucker Union rooftop. Roughly 50
people were in attendance. The rally, dubbed “United We Stand,” was peaceful in nature. Students, graduates and faculty showed up with signs showing solidarity with groups they see as negatively affected by the election results. The rally played music and hosted progressive speakers throughout the afternoon. “The United We Stand Rally is meant to make an anti-hate and anti-intolerance message,” Santos said. “We really want to focus on uti-
lizing our civil rights in a productive way. Utilizing our voices in order to stand in solidarity with all diversity, whether it’s gender, race, religion, ethnicity, whatever you want to call.” According to Santos, the rally was intended to be a vigorous anti-Donald Trump protest in the early planning stages, but the rally evolved into a more positive message as planning progressed.

good place to come focus and study and hangout.” The overall experience of “tea time” – to be able to sit down with others and enjoy a pot of tea with a good conversation and little distraction – is a pastime Hill aims to create for visitors to her shop. “I grew up with tea time because I have a German heritage,” Hill said. “So from the time I was four, I was drinking tea at three o’clock in the afternoon. Just black tea with cream and sugar.” Before Hill opened Tea Cellar, she worked as the senior sales executive for the Grassley group for eight years. Although she said it
was an excellent job, Hill felt that she wanted to do something different. It was her three daughters that brought about a new inspiration for what “something different” might be. Hill’s oldest daughter Olivia, who attended the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, became interested in tea and brought new varieties home, along with the knowledge of how to prepare it for the best taste. Having realized her passion for tea, Hill decided in January of 2016 that she wanted to look into starting her own tea shop in Cedar Falls. See TEA TIME, page 2
