The excessive amounts of phosphorus cause algal blooms and also help create blue-green algae, which Graham stressed can be dangerous to animals or humans. “You don’t want to get that on your skin,� Graham said of the bluegreen algae while showing a photograph of it in Beeds Lake a projector. “You don’t want to ingest it.

of Beeds Lake – as well as nearby septic tanks that may be leaking and internal resuspension of phosphorus bearing sediment which had originally settled on the bottom but was stirred up by carp. “The goose droppings are right by the beach, on the beach and in the water,� Graham said. “It doesn’t take too many geese to create a phosphorus and bacteria problem.� Graham then reported that in his opinion, the best ways to reduce the phosphorus levels in the lake involved a series of actions. First, Graham said, was for local farmers and agricultural production facilities to “engage in agricultural best management practices.� After that, other solutions proposed included controlling the goose population or cleaning up their feces; inspecting aging or broken septic systems; reducing the carp population; moving the beach to a new location east of the causeway; and removing accumulated silt and sediment that is located west of the causeway and

An ideal watershed to lake ratio is 20 acres of watershed to one acre of lake, Graham added. Beeds Lake has a ratio of 220 acres of watershed to one acre of lake, he said. “The size of the watershed is debateable,â€? Graham said. “The bottom line is, it’s still a big watershed for the size of the lake.â€? After his presentation, Graham opened the meeting to questions from the public.

Ubben kept her students busy by breaking them off into groups and also utilized the room’s computer lab. She said her classes remained on-task for much of the week, and the shortened periods didn’t disrupt lesson plans too much. All classes met in abbreviated, one-hour long sessions in the high school.

Determan said last Thursday. “You can kind of feel the tension among everyone trying to get to the air conditioning.â€? Both facilities remained relatively stagnant and cooled down little throughout the week, even at night. Strike said the buildings got hot on Monday and the schools’ bricks held heat like an oven for the remainder of the week. Having the windows open made it worse in most rooms, and teachers were left with few options to keep their classrooms cool. “It’s just too warm for the kids to focus for any considerable amount of time,â€? said middle school math and social studies teacher Doug Sheriff. “It’s been sort RI GLIĂ€FXOW JHWWLQJ WR NQRZ WKH NLGV DW WKH beginning of the year, too.

Middle school principle and athletic director Chris Rogne said there were no plans to postpone or cancel any games due to a lack of early practices.

“They (games) start late enough in the year where we think they’ll (the athletes) be ready enough to go ahead with them,â€? he said. With all the early outs, cancellations and discomfort last week, Strike said some patrons questioned whether or not air conditioning should be investigated in the future. He said a cooling system at both facilities is in the district’s longterm infrastructure plan, however, other recent upgrades have pushed discussion to the backburner. A new boiler system was installed at the middle school and the roof on the high school was replaced this summer. The projects cost West Fork upwards of $1 million, and a new air conditioning system would run an estimated price tag of $2.5 million. “It’s a cost versus need situation,â€? explained Strike. “There are certain things – like a roof – that we need 180 days out of the year. And boiler, which we need for most of the year to heat the building. If we added a cooling system, we’d have to do it at both facilities or we’d still have the early dismissal issue.â€?

She once lamented to a reporter that she had to raise the price of her chicken dinner from $1.00 to $1.l0 because of high expenses.

Under the Golden Dome, Too by Linda Upmeyer

Infrastructure is key to economic development

It is that time of year when school starts and farmers begin to prepare for the harvest. With that comes school buses and farm machinery on the move. As I travel the state and observe this, my thoughts turn to our infrastructure needs. There is no doubt that quality, reliable, and safe infrastructure is a key element for Iowa’s economic growth and prosperity. It is our vast network of roads that allows for the movement of goods and people on a daily basis. A high quality transportation system is essential in serving the day-to-day needs of motorists across the state. Iowans should have an assurance that our public infrastructure is dependable and trustworthy. With summer vacation travel coming to an end, I thought now would be a good opportunity to have a discussion about the condition of our state’s roads and infrastructure. Iowa’s public roadway system is comprised of over 114,000 miles of roadways with approximately 25,000 EULGJHV 1DWLRQDOO\ ,RZD UDQNV ÀIWK in the number of bridges and 13th in miles of roadway, yet the state ranks 30th in population and 23rd in land area.

With each

passing year, we fall further and further behind in our obligation to maintaining our public roadways. The evidence is clear that additional funding is needed to improve the safety of our roadways, but the source of revenue remains up for debate. I realize a lot of Iowans have concerns about increasing our state’s fuel tax to pay for our infrastructure needs. I also know the conditions of our roads are GHWHULRUDWLQJ :H PXVW ÀJXUH RXW DQ ongoing, sustainable funding mechanism to meet the needs of our aging roads and bridges.

The Governor has recently asked Paul Trombino, the Director of the DOT, and his team to review all options for possible transportation funding and report back to him with their recommendations. , ZDQW WR KHDU IURP \RX +RZ GR you think we should pay for the improvements needed for our roadways?

The Ragan Report by Amanda Ragan

Three wins for Iowa workers As we end the summer with a celebration of the progress of working families, we have a few new victories to be excited about. This year, the Legislature approved initiatives that will help expand Iowa’s middle class and grow our economy by: 1. Reducing Iowa’s skilled worker shortage: We invested $34.3 million in worker training to help Iowans qualify for job openings at local businesses. This will allow Iowans who want to do more for their families to move up to in-demand careers, while providing the skilled workers Iowa employers need. A pilot project has shown this approach ZRUNV %\ H[SDQGLQJ ZRUNHU WUDLQing initiatives to community colleges statewide, more Iowans will be able to get their GED, learn basic skills, and earn industry-recognized FHUWLÀFDWHV LQ ZHOGLQJ KHDOWK FDUH technology and other areas. 2.

Cutting Taxes for Low-income Working Iowa Families: The Senate increased the state’s Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) from 7 percent to 15 percent of the federal credit. A boost in our state EITC is helping 210,000 Iowans, parents to almost 40 percent of Iowa kids, work their way out of poverty. These Iowans pay the highest percentage of their income in state and local tax-

es, even though they are among our lowest-paid workers. The EITC also helps invigorate our economy when the extra income is spent locally on food, gas, car repairs, medical bills and other necessities.

It’s head-scratching that such authority has been instilled LQ WKH 2YDO 2IĂ€FH EXW 2EDPD¡V decision to seek the approval from the public’s representatives in Congress was refreshing. Despite this development, the Syrian conundrum is poised to cause more troubles than it will solve. It’s going to cost money, lives and other resources. Our title as the World’s Police Force has caused undeniable foreign quagmires in the past. The examples are numerous, and success KDV EHHQ Ă HHWLQJ ,W¡V MXVW VLPSO\ D GLIĂ€FXOW DQG XQZLQQDEOH SRVLWLRQ WR be in. If the Syrian government did in fact utilize a chemical weapons attack, it’s an unacceptable and disgusting monstrosity. It’s barbaric, but Americans must question whether or not risking the lives of U.S. soldiers is worth yet another prolonged Middle Eastern jackpot. Our involvement in “punishingâ€? the Assad regime would undoubtedly be seen as playing favorites by siding with the rebels. We haven’t been attacked or provoked into this mess, and we’ll never get out as fast as we got in if we move forward with a military strike. Intervening in Syria would be an extremely senseless and unfortunate decision by Obama and Congress. It’s just not a step worth taking.

Participate in cancer research

To the editor: What if we could personally participate in research that might help determine factors that cause or prevent cancer? What if our involvement, and that research, ultimately leads to the elimination of cancer as a major health problem for this and future generations? What if we could make it so just one family never has to hear the words “you have cancer�? Residents of our community have an unprecedented opportunity to participate in cancer research this year. Enrollment for the American Cancer Society’s third Cancer Prevention Study (CPS-3) will be taking place in Mason City at select venues from September 19 -21, 2013. You can see all the locations and times of enrollment by visiting www.cps3masoncity.org. Individuals between the ages of 30 and 65 who have never been

Participants will periodically be sent a follow-up questionnaire for the next 20 to 30 years. If you aren’t eligible to participate, you can still make a difference by telling everyone you know about Cancer Prevention Study-3.

The Council indicated the private drive issues at 400 Locust Street are exactly that “privateâ€?. The City does not get involved with private disputes. Sandbaggin’ Day 2013 was a fantastic weekend. A big THANKS to the Emergency Services, Community Club, Public Works Department, all businesses, volunteers, participants, vendors and organizations for food, fun and fellowship. At this time, Milton Heyde telephoned. Council member Shear indicated to Mr. Heyde that the City will not even consider burning down his house at 615 Elm Street until all asbestos is removed. After the telephone conversations ended, Showalter moved to require the property at 615 Elm Street be either totally demolished or brought up to code by Thursday, September DQG WR VHQG 0U +H\GH D FHUWLÂżHG OHWter stating that fact. Menken seconded. Motion carried, ayes all. The City Council indicated they would not require the Ambulance Service to conduct background checks on new members but strongly suggest driving records be checked for insurability purposes. The 1982 Chevy Fire Truck has been sold. The Council will not be pursuing an ordinance addressing frequent calls for police services. The Council gave the Fire Department permission to purchase needed parts for the new pumper truck at an approximate cost of $2,500.00. Further research needs to be done on adopt-

Warhawks battle heat, Bulldogs to claim win, 20-18

By Ryan Harvey The West Fork football team overcame adversity and abnormally warm temperatures to down Lake Mills on Friday evening, 20-18. The Warhawks, now 1-0 on the year, fought off the Bulldogs thanks to a valiant effort by senior quarterback Spencer Halloran. The do-it-all signalcaller racked up 160 yards rushing and threw for another 147 to a host of receivers en route to the win. Halloran, who proved to be the one man band for the Warhawks last season, found himself a sidekick in the EDFNĂ€HOG WKLV \HDU DV 7\VRQ 3LOODUG rolled up 75 yards and a score on 20 carries. 3LOODUG¡V VFRUH FDPH RQ D Ă€YH \DUG option pitch sweep to the left where he outran the defense. ´,W¡V QLFH ZKHUH ZH FDQ KDYH WZR guys carry the load back there,â€? West Fork coach Rodney Huber said. “We were very one dimensional last year with Spencer, but by being able to run inside with Tyler and go outside with Spencer helps a lot.â€? The receivers got into the act as well.

Junior Colin Arndt collected a trio of passes for 44 yards, including a key \DUGV VWULNH ODWH LQ WKH ÀUVW KDOI RQ fourth and eight to set up a touchdown with just a few ticks remaining on the clock. Deven Heitland collected a pair of passes for 33 yards while Evan Sprung FROOHFWHG ÀYH SDVVHV IRU \DUGV DQG a score. In all, the Warhawks rolled up 381 yards for the game while the Bulldogs collected 336 yards. Leading their effort was senior Chaden Riles, who rushed for 92 yards on 17 carries. A trio of receivers also had strong JDPHV DV -RVK 3HWHUV FROOHFWHG D SDLU of passes for 52 yards; Levi Meyer worked out of the slot, collecting two passes for 72 yards and a score; and 3DXO 3LQV FDXJKW WKUHH SDVVHV IRU yards and a score. After falling behind 6-0 to the Bulldogs on the opening drive of the game, chewing up nearly 3:30 minutes of the clock, the Warhawks used the momentum of a blocked extra point to propel their offensive effort. After an 11 yard return, and an eight yard loss on a passing play, the War-

hawks got to work on 2nd and 18. Halloran broke lose with back-toback runs of 17 and 18 yard, respectively.

The 12-driver Chase for the Cup playoff ďŹ eld will be ďŹ nalized this Saturday night at Richmond. Year after year, Richmond International Raceway puts on the best short track show. Richmond’s unique, 3/4-mile layout produces tremendous side-by-side racing, yet drivers can obtain high enough speeds to give it a superspeedway feel. That rare combination allows for the beating and banging that fans always love, with the drivers’ skill playing a major role in winning.

Racing Trivia Who owns the record for most wins at Richmond International Raceway?

?

a) Cale Yarborough c) Dale Earnhardt b) Richard Petty d) Bobby Allison Answer : b) Richard Petty had 13 wins at Richmond International Raceway. He also has the most top 5s and top 10s.

NORTHWOOD - Four turnovers by CAL were costly in a 68-0 opening road loss to Northwood-Kensett on Friday night. The Vikings fell on three fumbles and picked off one of freshman quarterback Kainen Braun’s passes in shutting down the Cadets. CAL was able to move the ball - accumulating 169 yards on the ground - but N-K keyed on Andrew Quinones who tallied more than 1,000 yards of offense a year ago in limiting him to just 18 yards on seven carries. Miguel Calles rushed 23 times for just more than 100 yards to lead CAL’s offense. Braun and Robert Pals led the defensive attack with six tackles apiece. Andy Castillo and Juan Trinidad each contributed with four. Although Coleby Bratrud gained three touchdowns, Brandon Brockman led the way with 127 yards rushing for Northwood-Kensett.

Kyle Busch proved emphatically Sunday night that he knew what to do with a lead. By the time he grabbed the top spot at Atlanta Motor Speedway for the ďŹ rst time, however, the Chase for the Sprint Cup picture had changed dramatically. Busch claimed the victory, beating Joey Logano to the ďŹ nish line by .740 seconds. This was Busch’s fourth win of the season. Six drivers -- Johnson, Bowyer, Kevin Harvick, Edwards, Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth have clinched top-10 spots in the Chase. Despite a 36th-place ďŹ nish Sunday, Kasey Kahne clinched at least a Wild Card berth on the strength of his two wins this year.

CORN, LP switching from coal to natural gas BY KIM DEMORY egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net After eight years of producing ethanol through the use of coal, CORN, LP of GoldĂ€eld has announced they will be switching to natural gas this week. The change has been in the process for about a year, according to Brad Davis, Gold-Eagle Cooperative general manager. “We’re pretty excited,â€? Davis said about the $6 million project. The reason for the change, he said, is that since they went operational in 2005, the price of coal has almost doubled, mostly because of freight costs and the opposite is the case with natural gas. “You just can’t overcome that kind of energy shift,â€? Davis said. As a result, planning to switch to natural gas has been in the planning and preparation stages for over a year. According to Davis, natural gas logistics are easier to manage since the product is transported through pipelines. In addition, new drilling / extraction technology for both crude and natural gas has made much more natural gas available. “Nobody would have anticipated that (eight years ago when they decided to use coal as energy),â€? Davis said. “It’s all about supply and

demand‌and the U.S. has become an exporter of natural gas.â€? CORN, LP is now in the Ă€nishing stages of the conversion to natural gas. A pipeline has been laid running from one mile east of the Holmes blacktop to the GoldĂ€eld ethanol plant, which means all that is left is completing the furnace transition work enabling the furnace to operate with natural gas, and a few other items like reprogramming of some computer software. Davis is anticipating the work to be done so it can be up and running on natural gas this week. Davis said, “We’re looking for some great things to happen. We have to learn how to adapt and make this newly designed energy system as efĂ€cient as it can be. We also anticipate (natural gas) will take fewer BTUs of energy to produce a gallon of ethanol which means the payback could be enhanced.â€? Despite the $6 million dollar investment into the conversion, Davis said it will be a “fairly fast payback.â€? Last year may not mirror the future accurately, but when comparing energy costs, there was a $2.5 million disadvantage using coal as compared to natural gas. “We feel this is a pretty big deal for the community,â€? Davis said of the project.

He didn’t deny that the ethanol market has been pretty challenging the last couple of years due to the diminished use of gasoline in the U.S. According to Davis, reports show that 10 years ago, when plans began for the ethanol plant in GoldĂ€eld, gas usage was at 142 billion gallons in the United Sates. Now, it is a little over 130 billion gallons. The prediction is for usage to drop even more. However, Davis is optimistic, saying that since the start of 2013, ethanol production has been more in line with ethanol demand. “Ethanol has saved the consumer a tremendous amount of money‌and it will continue to play an important role,â€? Davis said. Should there be an unforeseen economic advantage by switching back to coal in the future, CORN, LP will be able to switch back easily and without extraordinary costs. Nearly all of the coal equipment will be left in place, so all that would be needed is a couple weeks to reconnect all of the disconnected equipment in and around the furnace as well as changes to the software. “I believe this (switch to natural gas) is going to be a good thing,â€? Davis said.
