Supervisors adopt county “social host� ordinance By Rebecca Peter Hancock County will have a county social host ordinance that sets out civil penalties for persons who knowingly allow or permit consumption of alcohol by minors at social gatherings. The second and final reading of the ordinance was held Monday and generated little discussion at the Dec. 2 meeting. Once again, the vote was 2-1 with Supervisors Jerry Tlach and Ted Hall in favor and Sis Greiman against. The Hancock County ordinance would provide a civil penalty of $750 for a first time violation. Second and subsequent offenses carry a penalty of $1,000. The county may also seek reimbursement for enforcement services by emergency responders related to the event, gathering or party. The ordinance also contains exceptions: alcohol being served in restaurants, or used in religious observances, etc. The county-wide social host ordinance was originally proposed by representatives of the Garner Asset Project in October. GAP representative said county-wide social host ordinances are already in place 21 counties. Last week Supervisor Sis Greiman said she received emails from persons who were concerned about how the ordinance could potentially be an invasion of their home. Greiman also had concerns when there are already laws governing underage drinking and providing alcohol to minors. ATV Ordinance Supervisors approved the first reading of an ordinance governing driving all-terrainvehicles (ATV) on county roads. The hearing, a continuance of one started last week, was attended by a number of area ATV owners who asked that the board amend to ordinance to raise speed limit driving ATVs from 35 mph to the posted speed limit. The group and supervisors hoped common sense will be used by ATV drivers. Driver must carry and Iowa Driver’s license, insurance and registration. Hancock County Sheriff’s Deputy Ray Penning said accidents involving ATVs peaked between 206-2007. “They’re putting more safety features on them,� Penning said. Supervisor Jerry Talch didn’t see raising the speed limit to the post limit as a big issue. “You’re going to slow down traffic,� he said. “If we go with the 35 miles per hour, we’re going to be back in here in a year or two,� he said. The board unanimously passed the amended ordinance setting the speed limit for ATV drivers at the posted limit or as reasonable or proper under each circumstances. The second reading of the amended ATV ordinance will be held 9:15 a.m. Monday, Dec. 9.

Amy Ann Jensen and Joe Perez hold the letters they wrote as 8-year-old Sunday school children that were among the many letters, photos and other memorabilia placed in a time capsule by the congregation of the Goodell United Methodist Church in 1988. Pastor Michael Schafer (center) did the honors of opening the capsule. (LEADER photo by Rebecca Peter) GOODELL - It was a time of fellowship and reminiscing. The contents of a time capsule buried 25 years ago were revealed during the annual soup supper and bake sale at the Goodell United Methodist Church on Saturday, Nov. 23. The plastic container that served as the capsule was buried underneath the church bell tower, on Oct. 16, 1988, as part of the church’s 1988 centennial celebration.

+RXVH &DOOV %ULQJLQJ KHDOWKFDUH WR \RX QUESTION: I want to look forward to the holidays but I’m really dreading all the work that comes with it; please help me put the joy back in the season. ANSWER by: Hancock County Health System. Welcome to the holiday season - that whirlwind of gift-giving holidays, marketing blitzes, holiday parties and activities galore! While this season is meant to bring feelings of love and cheer, it’s also the harbinger of holiday stress. More than 80% of us find the holiday season to be ‘somewhat’ or ‘very’ stressful so how do we overcome these feelings. • Set Your Priorities - Before you get overwhelmed by too many activities, it’s important to decide what traditions offer the most positive impact and eliminate superfluous activities. For example, if you usually become overwhelmed by a flurry of baking, caroling, shopping, sending cards, visiting relatives and other activities that leave you exhausted by January, you may want to examine your priorities, pick a few favorite

activities and really enjoy them, while skipping the rest. • Be Smart With Holiday Eating - This year, plan ahead by being aware of your triggers, do what you can to have some healthy food at hand for each meal, be aware of your intake, and practice mindful eating. • Change Your Expectations for Togetherness - With family and friends, it’s important to be aware of your limitations. Think back to previous years and try to pinpoint how much togetherness you and your family can take before feeling negative stress, then set your social time accordingly. If you are alone for the holidays, consider inviting a group of friends to your home or volunteering to help those less fortunate than yourself. • Breathe! - This sounds like a no-brainer, but sometimes we forget to take deep breaths and really give our bodies the oxygen we need.

Care and selection of poinsettias By Richard Jauron, Willy Klein Iowa State University Extension AMES – The poinsettia is one of the most popular potted flowers in the United States. ISU Extension horticulturists tell how to select a healthy plant and the care involved to keep the plant attractive through the holiday season. What should I look for when buying a poinsettia? Poinsettias are available in a wide range of colors. Red is the most popular color. However, poinsettias also are available in burgundy, pink, salmon, white, cream and gold. There also are bicolored, marbled and speckled poinsettias. The colorful part of the poinsettia, commonly referred to as the plant’s flowers, are actually modified leaves or bracts. The true flowers are yellow to green, button-like objects located in the center of the bracts. When selecting a poinsettia, choose a well-shaped plant with dark green foliage and wellcolored bracts. The true flowers should be shedding little or no pollen. Avoid poinsettias with wilted foliage, broken stems or few leaves. How do I care for a poinsettia? Place the poinsettia in a plant sleeve or carefully wrap it before transporting the plant home. Exposing the poinsettia to freezing temperatures, even for a few minutes, may cause its bracts

and leaves to blacken and drop. As soon as you get home, unwrap the poinsettia and place it near a sunny window or other well-lit location. However, don’t let the plant touch the cold window pane. Also, keep the poinsettia away from cold drafts or heat sources. Poinsettias prefer temperatures between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Water needs can be determined with your finger. Check the potting soil daily. When the soil surface becomes dry to the touch, water the plant until water begins to flow out the bottom of the pot. The pots of most poinsettias are placed inside decorative pot covers. When watering a poinsettia, carefully remove the pot covering, water the plant in the sink, then drop the poinsettia back into the pot cover. When given good care, a poinsettia should remain attractive for several

weeks, well after the Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays. Is the poinsettia poisonous? The poinsettia has long been regarded as poisonous. However, research conducted at various institutions has shown the poinsettia is not poisonous. While the poinsettia is not poisonous, it is not intended for human or animal consumption. Individuals are still advised to keep the poinsettia out of the reach of small children and pets. One potential health problem associated with the poinsettia is dermatitis or an irritation to the skin. When a poinsettia stem is cut or broken, milky sap oozes from the wound. Some individuals may develop a skin irritation if the milky sap comes in contact with their skin.

SKYPE your Supervisors By: Mary Freeman, Editor wrightcomonitor@gmail.com The Wright County Board of Supervisors met in usual session on Monday, Dec. 2, to handle the County’s drainage issues. Although there was not much to attend to this week, besides approving the offer of employment to fill a vacancy in Eagle Grove pending pre-employment screening and verification of CDL, the new SKYPE connection to view and participate in the Supervisors meetings is now up and running. Simply go to www.skype.com and create a SKYPE account; search out Wright County Supervisors, click on ‘video call’ and you’re there, watching the meeting almost as if you were there. The Supervisors tabled the proposed annexation petition until next week’s meeting on Monday, Dec. 9, at 9 a.m., and approved the TIP (Tax Increment Financial) report, ending the meeting with updates on their activities from the preceding week as well as upcoming business.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Iowa Fishing Report The Iowa Department of Natural Resources weekly fishing report is compiled from information gathered from local bait shops, angler creel surveys, and county and state parks staff. For current information, contact the district fisheries office at the phone number listed at the end of each district report.

Iowa Lakes are freezing over

Cold weather settled in over the upper Midwest sealing many Iowa lakes under a layer of ice. As a reminder, a minimum of four inches of quality ice is recommended for fishing and at least five inches for snowmobiles and ATVs. Safety Tips on the Ice ¡ There is no such thing as 100 percent safe ice. ¡ Ice fishing is a social activity, don’t go out alone. If the worst should happen, someone would be there to call for help or to rescue. ¡ There could be pockets of thin ice or places where ice recently formed, so it would be wise to check ice thickness as you go out. ¡ Ice thickness is not uniform on any body of water. Things like current and springs slow ice growth. Rocks, trees or docks that poke through the ice like will conduct heat and make the ice around it less stable. ¡ Avoid off-colored snow or ice. It is usually a sign of weakness. ¡ The insulating effect of snow slows down the freezing process. ¡ Safety items in the bucket: Ice picks, about 50 feet of rope and a throwable floatation seat cushion for use in case of rescue. NORTHWEST Brushy Creek Lake The main lake is still open, but ice is starting to form near shore and in the upper part of the lake. Bacon Creek Lake Bacon Creek was stocked with 1,500 catchable size rainbow trout on Nov. 20th. Bacon Creek is mostly covered with ice and ice thickness is

around 1.5 inches. Rainbow Trout Excellent: Anglers have been catching limits of rainbow trout casting very small spinners and Kastmasters. Storm Lake (including Little Storm Lake) Storm Lake has about 1.5 inches of ice in most areas. Black Hawk Lake Black Hawk Lake has around 3 inches of ice. There is open water in the Town Bay area. Arrowhead Lake There is around 2 to 2.5 inches of ice on Arrowhead Lake. Black Hawk Pits There is around 2 to 2.5 inches of ice on Black Hawk Pits. Moorland Pond Moorland Pond was stocked with 1,500 catchable size rainbow trout on Nov. 16th. Rainbow Trout - Excellent: Anglers have been catching limits of rainbow trout casting small spinners and Kastmasters. For more information on lakes, ponds, and rivers in the Black Hawk District contact the District Office at 712-657-2638. Clear Lake Clear Lake is mostly covered with ice. Ice thickness is 2 to 3 inches. If you venture out use caution and drill test holes as you go. Blue Pit Blue Pit was stocked with 1,500 catchable size rainbow trout on Nov. 27th. For lake updates and fishing information in the north central area contact the Clear Lake Fish and Wildlife office at 641-357-3517. Big Spirit Lake Iowa Great Lakes - Limited fishing activity at this time. Shallow lakes have ice; however, ice conditions are unsafe with less than one inch of ice. Scharnberg Pond 1,500 rainbow trout were stocked Nov. 9th. Iowa Great Lakes - Limited fishing activity at this time. Night time wader fishing is a key component.

Anglers are finding fish near the bottom of the deeper holes. Decorah District Streams With colder weather in the forecast, autumn blue wing olive hatches are beginning to wind down. Af-

ternoon #20-#24 blue wings can continue sporadically throughout the winter months. Wooly bugger patterns in bright yellows or whites have been very effective in fast water. Flashy streamer patterns are good choices for early winter fishing. Weekend weather forecast is calling for sunny with temperatures in the low to mid 30s. Angling pressure remains very low. Most area lakes and backwaters now have ice.

Be careful when walking on new ice. Fluctuating temperatures, flow, wind and rain can change conditions quickly. Urban ponds are now being stocked with trout. Go to www. iowadnr.gov/Fishing/TroutFishing. aspx to find out when and where. For more information, call the Decorah Fish Hatchery at 563-382-8324. Cedar River (Nashua to La Porte City) The Cedar River still remains good for walleye using jigs and plas-

tics tipped with a minnow. Walleye - Good: Concentrate on the drop-offs and along current breaks in 4 to 5 feet of water. Wapsi River (Tripoli to Troy Mills) There have been few angling reports on the Wapsipinicon River this past week but walleye fishing should remain good. Walleye - Good: Jig and plastic tipped with a minnow has been good on the deeper holes, dropoffs and current breaks.

West Hancock returns five starters to basketball season Nalan compiled 150 points, 25 assists, 25 steals, 10 blocks and 146 rebounds to lead the Eagles a year ago. Hejlik scored 96 points, five assists, 10 steals, 20 blocks and 99 rebounds. Under the helm of coach Brian Peterson, West Hancock also looks to the following eight athletes as key contributors this season. Senior Cole Weiland, juniors Logan Weiland, Joey DeHart, sophomores Nelson Barraca, Ricky Ibarra, Vicente Gonzalez, and freshmen Dylan Eckels and Seth Weiland. “We are a year older and this team has a

better understanding of the West Hancock way,� Peterson said in regards to his team’s strengths this season. “Quickness, shooting and ball handling is very strong. We have multiple guys who can shoot the ball and take it off the bounce. We are very strong off ball defenders and our different presses and we cover the space well.� Coach Peterson noted that his team’s defense was very poor last year in the half court set which he contributed some to the youth of his team and lack of understanding. “This falls squarely on my shoulders to make sure they understand and we will understand it better this season.�

Peterson is pleased with how close his group of athletes is, “their bond, friendship and closeness from 9-12 grade is a welcomed surprise. It is rare to see kids check their ego at the door for the betterment of the team.� Coach Peterson is assisted by Kevin Eisenman, Jay Hiscocks and Jim Becker. The Eagles tipped-off their first official game this week at home against Eagle Grove Monday. They then headed to Northwood Tuesday and will host Central Springs this Friday.

Third year head coach, Mark Sanger, welcomes back eight returning wrestlers and seven freshmen to this year’s West Hancock wrestling roster. Three seniors return as letterwinners this season, Hunter Hiscocks (132), Drew Redenius (170) and Uziel Romero (220). Juniors Logan Brown (138), Klayton Lamoreux (152) and sophomores Dakota Peterson (126), Sam Smith (145), Dalton Bates (160) all

return to the mat for the 2013-2014 season. Lamoreux and Redenius both were District Qualifiers a year ago. The Eagles also welcome the following seven freshmen to the program, Clayton Brown (106), J.J. Holland (106), Michael Myers (120/126), Nick Lemmon (126/132), Ernest Duran (126/132), Jordan Weiland (152), and John Fransen (220/285). The Eagles are assisted by Billy

Dallman, Doug Doughan, Dave Brown and Paul Francis (junior high). “The biggest challenge we will face this year is inexperience and youth,� noted coach Sanger. “We have a lot of new/young wrestlers whose challenge will be their lack of experience and mat time.� “The letter winners have had their share of ups and downs thus far in their wrestling careers. Now is the time they need to step up and be the

leaders. The time has come where these guys need to start being aggressive and going out and pressing the issue on the mat. We also have a good core of freshmen coming in this year that will contribute, but it is up to the returning letter winners to lead the way.� The Eagles will make their wrestling debut this week at home Thursday against Forest City and Emmetsburg. They will then head to a tournament Saturday in Okoboji.

Plan Your Spending and Your Future with Money Talk registration and special event celebrations. The other lessons in the series cover insurance, investing, planning for retirement and legal preparedness. Money Talk is offered online or face-to-face and more information is available at http://www. extension.iastate.edu/humansciences/money-talk. Spending with a Plan “Before participating in the program, some Money Talk participants said they spent money without a plan. If they had a dollar in their pocket it was easy to spend it. After completing Money Talk, participants know how to determine whether something is truly a need or a want,� Freeman said. Nearly 75 percent of Money Talk participants throughout the state report that they have begun using a system for planning and tracking their spending or have improved their existing system. These systems can help families as they plan for holiday celebrations, Freeman said. More than 75 percent of Money Talk participants report taking steps to reduce debt, Freeman continued. One woman said that before she participated in Money Talk her family owed more than $10,000 in credit card

debt. As a result of Money Talk, she and her husband set financial goals and began the long process of paying off their credit cards. A few years later she reported to her class instructor that they were debt free except for their home mortgage. “Families that have little or no debt have more money available for their needs and wants, thus rely less on the local food pantry or public funds to live. After they begin funding investments for their future, they often are able to spend money on consumer goods, thus helping the economy,� Freeman said. Three-fourths of participants report that as result of Money Talk they are taking steps to prepare for retirement, Freeman said. One Money Talk participant said the program “really helped me see where I could be if I start investing now. I also learned how to overcome small problems I had early on and the steps to make sure it doesn’t happen again.� About Those Holiday Expenses “Getting back to those holiday celebration expenses, if your family is searching

for ways to find money for your future, consider spending less on your next holiday and saving or investing those dollars,� Freeman suggested. “Do you have decorations from prior years that you can reuse in new ways? Can you give gifts that cost little or no money? What about making a gift certificate to mow someone’s lawn or babysit? How about giving a baked good along with the recipe? These and many other ideas honor the people who are important to you, while reducing credit card debt in January. And consider signing up for Money Talk,� Freeman said.

AMES, Iowa -- Celebrating holidays, birthdays and other special events often includes a meal with family or friends, decorating, gift giving and more. But where will the money come from to pay these celebration expenses? Money Talk, from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, can help Iowans learn to plan for holiday and other spending, and improve their financial future. “If a celebration is not in your spending plan, then you might not have enough money set aside to pay for it. So you’ll either have to miss an event that’s important to your family, or you may take on debt that you can’t afford,� said Ruth Freeman, a family finance specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. “You can avoid this no-win situation by learning to manage your money throughout the year.� Money Talk is a five-lesson, money management course from ISU Extension and Outreach. In the very first lesson, participants learn how to set financial goals and build a spending plan that meets those goals, Freeman explained. A spending plan includes family living expenses such as food, the mortgage or rent, utilities and auto repair. It also includes occasional expenses such as annual or semi-annual insurance premiums, car licenses, school
