Tax credit goes into effect By Ken Ross Graphic-Advocate Editor Joan Wagner, Calhoun County Assessor, recently explained to the Calhoun County Board of Supervisors the new Business Property Tax Credit that will affect the 2013 property assessment payable in the fall of 2014 and spring of 2015. This is part of the overall 2013 property tax reform bill that has been passed by the Iowa legislature and signed by the governor. The credit is available for certain commercial, industrial and railroad properties. To qualify. applications should be submitted by Jan. 15. Property that is not eligible for the credit include ag
property, residential property, mobile home parks and any residential property rented for more than 30 days at a time. The amount of tax credit provided for each unit will depend on how many applicants there are. There has been $50 million appropriated for the first year and another $100 million after that. An estimate of $500 per property unit has been made but taxpayers will not know until the property tax bill is sent. That will be an item on the bill. Some businesses have more than one unit of property, if for example, a road or street divides the property, that will create another unit.

Christmas celebrated at Lake City Community Building
By Ken Ross Graphic-Advocate Fighting a fire in frigid temperatures is a miserable job but Lake City Fire Chief Mel Alcox noted there is one very positive fact about the fire that destroyed a North Center Street house during the early morning hours of Thursday, Dec. 5. Nobody was injured. Two adults and four young children (infant to age 8) were able to get out of the house safely. Alcox noted that some damage could have been avoided if the fire had been in a location that was easier to reach. The fire was apparently an electrical fire that started in the
attic. One of the residents called the fire department after seeing smoke coming from the attic. The fire department responded shortly before 3 a.m. “This was a hard fire to fight,” Alcox said. He said he didn’t put anyone on the roof since that would be too risky. When parts of the ceiling started falling, the firefighters were pulled back outside. The Rockwell City Fire Department was called in for mutual aid. Firefighters had to be regularly rotated off the fire scene because of the bitter cold. Casey’s Store brought a pot of hot chocolate and donuts.
“That was really appreciated,” Alcox said. Alcox said that because there were no injuries, the cause seems evident, no foul play is suspected and the fire marshal’s office has many pending investigations, the fire marshal’s office will not be asked to investigate this particular fire. As of this writing, there has not been a formal donation process set up for the residents of the house, but donations were being taken at the home of Steve O’Connor, 420 E. Main in Lake City and at the EMS building on High Street in Rockwell City.

Development agreement approved By Ken Ross Graphic-Advocate Editor At a Dec. 3 public hearing at the Calhoun County Board of Supervisors, a development agreement between Al’s Corner Oil Company and the county. All those present at the public hearing on the
matter were supportive of the project. Comments were made about the progress that can be seen at the truck stop that will open in late spring off of Hwy. 4 near the intersection with Hwy. 20. The agreement calls for the county to fund not more than $300,000 of utility and road costs to make the project happen. The funds raised will be through Tax Increment Financing (TIF), which involves setting aside the increase in property tax resulting from\ the
development for development related expenses. Under state law, the property tax used to pay for the TIF purpose includes the tax for all property taxing entities including county, school district and community college, although a few taxes such as debt service levy are exempt, meaning that an increase in property valuation as the result of a development increases the revenue from that levy. At the end of the TIF period, the increased valuation of the property contributes to the tax revenue for the taxing entities.

Digital mammography gets high marks at SMCH Women getting their yearly mammogram at Stewart Memorial Community Hospital in Lake City can be assured they are getting a quality exam. The SMCH Radiology department recently passed their annual state inspection with flying colors. The department received a deficiency free inspection. Each year, the work of the department is scrutinized by state inspectors. The inspection involves reviewing randomly selected patient records to make sure quality work is being performed when patients get a mammogram. “They carefully review records to make sure all of the required information is in the record, and that the digital images we take are excellent,” says Mary Reiter, Director of Imaging Services. The requirements that have to be met are set by the Mammography Quality Standards Act, which was put in place The radiology staff at Stewart Memorial Community Hospital includes (left to right) Deb Dunn, Afton Daniel, Marilyn Mumm, Mary in 1990 to ensure women receive Reiter, Jennifer King and Pat Koster. quality mammograms.

Advice in time for Black Friday – next year
Empty Nest By Curt Swarm Sal Alaniz Jr.: Volunteer Extraordinaire Sal’s phone rings at 2 a.m. He answers on the second ring. Sal was up anyway, prowling the internet. It’s the Mt. Pleasant Fire Department. There’s been a rural house fire, a family with three children are homeless. “I’ll be right there,” Sal responds. On his way out, Sal grabs a sack of Laura’s Grace. “Well,” he says to himself. “What will this day bring?” Sal is a Red Cross Volunteer. He has served on site after hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, and the tornado in Moore, Okla. Most recently, he spent three days in Washington, Ill. after the devastating tornadoes that ripped through the town. He kept a journal while there, and emailed back entries to friends, acquaintances, and other volunteers. Here are a few exerpts: “Today was an ebb, tomorrow an expected flow.” “Flexibility. A word—a mantra with Red Cross.” “Service is never idle. Seek and ye shall find.” “Say ‘Hi, how are you?’ to someone, and mean it. And Listen. And listen.” “Each person begins the process of recovery. The recovery which comes from within is greater than ourselves.” “We can’t control Mother Nature. We can control our response.” Sal will be making a second trip to Washington, Ill. Through Red Cross training, Sal knows that the average time spent with each disaster victim is eight minutes. In that time he must
assess, respond, and provide what is needed in the way of food, clothing, shelter, and financial assistance. In addition to Red Cross procedure, Sal adds his personal touch—Laura’s Grace. Laura’s Grace are bags of stuffed animals, toys, crayons, coloring books, blankets, etc. for kids (and adults). These bags have been prepared by Laura McPheil of Winfield, and can be so impactful to those in need. Between Sal and Laura, over 1,500 bags of Laura’s Grace have been distributed. Walk into Sal’s business on Main Street in Mt. Pleasant, and the first thing you see are bag upon bag of Laura’s Grace, each with the head of a stuffed

animal or doll head poking out. Sal calls them his “greeters.” Anyone who knows Sal, knows that Sal is here to serve. Enter his printing business to have your resume printed, and you’ll probably walk out with a plethora of ideas of how to improve your resume, market yourself, and tips on where to find employment. A high school student walked into Sal’s office looking for used computer parts to build his own computer. Sal makes a deal with the high school student. Sal will provide all the parts the boy needs, if the boy will agree to donate a computer to someone in need. Deal struck. What starts with an inquiry, ends with a greater good. Sal believes in the Butterfly Effect. A little motion here, can have wide sweeping effects—effects that you may never see. Each one of us has within us, the power to change the world. Why does Sal do this? “It reduces the noise in our lives so we can hear the angels earning their wings. All of us have issues, trials and tribulations, whether it be with relationships, finances, what to do with our lives, whatever. If you can reach out and touch someone, our problems seem trivial, manageable. Everything will work out.” With Sal, he’s the one that feels blessed to be connected to those in need.

practice of deceptive pricing. That retailer even does the markdown strategy now outside the Black Friday period. According to the Wall Street Journal article, at least one customer is suing over the practice – “Cynthia Spann is suing Penney over what she says are phantom discounts. She bought three blouses at 40 percent off the regular price of $30 in March 2011, according to her complaint. But instead of $30, the prevailing price for the blouses in the three months preceding her purchase was $17.99 - exactly the same as the sale price she paid, the lawsuit alleges. Ms. Spann said in the complaint that she wouldn’t have bought the blouses if she had known the discount wasn’t real.” My sympathy toward Spann is limited. If the blouse was worth $17.99 to her, then she should not feel cheated, otherwise she should not have made the purchase. Of course, people do not have an inherent sense of the value of items in terms of a fixed dollar amount, so some way to compare is considered helpful, even if the comparison is with an arbitrarily set price from which a percentage is deducted. One of the most annoying of current ad campaigns is the one extolling reward points gained by using a certain credit card. One ad features a credit card customer who encourages his daughter to invite as many friends as possible to a concert (starring somebody I’ve never heard of and therefore not a classic rock performer and therefore not a concert worth seeing – which is irrelevant to my point but does contribute to the annoyance factor). A friend of the credit card owner overhears the father’s advice to his daughter and questions the generosity of the father, to which the father explains that his credit card company gives award points for
every purchase made. The message conveyed is that the more the credit card owner spends, the better off he is. The ad seems to be attempting humor, but unless the point of the humor is that somebody is so utterly stupid as to believe that purchasing more stuff can be financially beneficial, the message is deceptive. Another ad by the same credit card company features a woman telling a friend about being on a date with a man who paid for dinner with a credit card. The friend points out that the man had earned reward points by using his credit card. This causes the woman who had been on the date to realize that the man used her to “rack up points.” Then, ironically, the woman who had pointed out the man’s selfish behavior tried to pay for the lunch the two women were having with a credit card. Man, nobody better try that with me, paying for my lunch with a credit card rather than letting me pay for it myself. I suppose, false promises of value to get people to purchase a product is nothing new. Countless parents (usually mothers) have been badgered by whiny kids into buying cereal that nobody would eat in order to get the supposedly free worthless trinket in the box. I did encourage my mother to buy cereal to obtain something in the box, but never a worthless trinket, always some really cool prize. I didn’t badger her, I appealed to her good sense and I wasn’t whiny, I was endearingly persuasive. Cereal companies don’t seem to offer free stuff in the boxes anymore. Consumers seem to have wised up to that tactic. Perhaps consumers will wise up to the Black Friday scams.
To the editor What’s Poppin’ at the Capri Hey Hollywood!! What ever happened to the “Classic” Christmas movies?? You know, the ones that you started press releases a year or better in advance? Movies like, Polar Express, Chevy Chase’s Christmas Vacation, and Tim Allen’s The Santa Claus series?? Of course we could go further back with the Christmas movies which have become so immortalized that they simply have become a part of Christmas. Movies like: It’s a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. Over the years the new “Christmas movie” was eagerly anticipated by the Capri Theatre board. Where have they gone??? Has society become so unaccepting of “Christian Holidays” that we can no longer have new Christmas movies?? Back when the Capri first became a “Volunteer Movie Theatre” (1994), Christmas time was the most fun time of year, partly because of whatever new Christmas movie/s were coming out. That year’s “biggie” would be released in early November which made it possible for the Capri to show it prior to Christmas. Frankly, from my perspective, that is what
helped make the Capri a success. For the past few years, the Capri board has searched for new holiday movies but none were forthcoming. Again this year we looked for another Christmas movie but once again there simply are none. The closest thing we could find was Disney’s new animated feature called “Frozen”. Looks like a good movie but more of a winter theme than Christmas, not to mention the movie doesn’t premier until November 27th. That means the Capri can’t get the movie until after Christmas. So Hollywood, the Capri is formally protesting the lack of “Christmas movies in theatres at Christmas time!!! The Capri is only a small “second run” theatre in a rural area, but the Capri board decided to do our part in providing Christmas movies prior to Christmas time. This year for the month of December the Capri will show all family “Christmas movies”. And to make it even better, the Capri is providing the movies FREE! That’s right, this December every movie the Capri shows is Free! No admission will be charged! We are starting out with, in my opinion the best animated Christmas movie ever made, Polar Express. It will be shown at our regular times on December 6-8. Then on Dec.13-
15 we will show the “Chipmunks”. On Dec. 20-22 the movie will be “All I Want for Christmas” and the month will be capped off with the Jim Carey movie, “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas”. Take that Hollywood!! Yes, we know you could care less what we do in Calhoun County Iowa, but it is the Capri’s way of saying we still want a happy and Merry Christmas time at the movies!! So Merry Christmas to everyone in our area “community”! The Grinch will not succeed in stealing Christmas at the Capri!! We invite everyone to come help the Capri board make Christmas time at the Capri a fun and exciting time for our children, grandchildren, and maybe even great grandchildren! The Capri has caught the “Christmas Spirit” and we want to share that with your family!! This is just one more way your Capri theatre is giving back to our area community. Thank you very much for everything you do to help the Capri continue to serve our mission!! Everyone at the Capri wishes you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year!

To the editor, In the 5 ½ years we have lived in Lake City, we have seen the currently named Graphic-Advocate evolve from a mostly ‘happy-talk’ social events weekly into an indepth, investigative, and revealing reporting newspaper, all thanks to the editor, Ken Ross. Our area has suffered from governmental/institutional secrecy for much too long. The general public has known little for years of what actually happens in the Calhoun County community other than through rumor and gossip. Since taking over as editor of the paper, Mr. Ross has published eyeopening and informative issues that give all of us much to consider and information which helps us to decide how we must face every facet of our community’s issues and tribulations that have never been addressed before his tenure. At the same time, the paper continues to provide us with the social and community events news that we need in order to participate in worthy events and be informed of the good happenings
around us. Recent articles have created controversy and have, also, caused public officials to comment in a way hitherto unknown to us. The same is true for his eye-opening, straight-tothe-point, informative editorials that are unequivocal in their material. This is seldom seen in a local, ruraloriented newspaper. The GraphicAdvocate may not be the same as the Washington Times or the Detroit Free Press, but it does its job well. I laud him for creating this situation. I am grateful for his efforts and applaud his audacity and tenacity in pursuit of the truly informative information our citizenry should have but has not been given in the past, either by its governmental officials or our newspaper. All Calhoun County citizens should be grateful. Thank you Mr. Ross for keeping us all informed of the ‘real’ news’ in our cities and counties and keep up the good work for our betterment.

I’d like to think that most people have more common sense than national mass marketers give us credit for, but seeing reports on the behavior of bargain hunters at major retail outlets on Black Friday does shake one’s faith in the rationality of humanity. Yes, I know that the bizarre, sometimes violent, behavior of some shoppers is not typical, even among avid bargain hunters. Still, for many people, bargain hunting seems to shut off the part of the brain that is responsible for critical thinking. Retailers take full advantage of this disconnect with reality. In a Nov. 25 article for the Wall Street Journal titled - The Dirty Secret of Black Friday ‘Discounts,’ Suzanne Kapner describes a tactic that involves “raising selling prices ahead of the holidays before the discounts kick in. In an analysis for The Wall Street Journal, pricetracking firm Market Track LLC looked at the online price fluctuations of 1,743 products… Toys and tools had the biggest pre-Black Friday price increases—about 23 percent.” The article goes on to say, “Retailers are supposed to offer items at regular prices ‘for a reasonably substantial period of time’ before marking them down, according to the Federal Trade Commission.” The obvious lesson is that people shouldn’t make discretionary purchases of gift items or items that could be given as gifts from major retail chains in the week or maybe two weeks prior to Thanksgiving. Any major retail chain that tries to take a more rational approach will suffer consequences. J.C. Penney tried to go with an “everyday low prices” strategy without the door-buster bargains for postThanksgiving sales. That approach flopped and J.C. Penney resumed the prevailing retail

The following is an article by Jo Ann featuring Maureen Hobart. It has been brought to my attention that a story needs to be told about our exercise class here at Sunnyview. Maureen Hobart is the one we all appreciate! She leads us three times a week helping us to stretch and be healthier. It started in Arizona when Maureen was there in the winters and joined an exercise class. She asked the leader in the park if she could take a copy of the instructions home with her. The lady replied, “You don’t know how many people I have given these directions to and they never followed through with a class.” It was the spring of 1990 when Maureen came home and knocked on Sunnyview residents’ doors to see if anyone would participate if she came out to start a class. She was happy to have many pleased with the offer and so exercise was started three times a week. When she was gone in the winter a tape of the exercise procedure was left in the “Great Room” so all who wanted could continue. (She spent some time at Sunny Knoll doing the exercise regime.) Names recorded that have spent time in the exercise class at Sunnyview follow: Lief and Carene Folden, Ethel Parsons, Doris Goodwin, Gen Carver, Mary Morton, Ann Johnson, Lorna Boettcher, Bonny Boyd, Dortha
Roske, Margaret Nonneman, Aurelia Pinneo, Ethel Wagner, Lucille Gray, Bertha Roloff, Lois Hoyt, Charlotte Haub, Loreen Hayler, Helen Tucker, Betty Lindy, Gladys O’Tool, Delores Smith, Elgene Howard, Marlene Stacy, Clarice Martz, Laura Sidmore, Jo Ann Maguire, Ardeth Hildreth, Alice May Stotts, and Maxine Kail. Many great comments were made over the years and one that stands out in Maureen’s mind is Lief Folden saying after several months, “I never used to be able to tie my shoes and now I can.” Other comments: “When the nurse went to give me a shot in the arm she commented, ‘You must be exercising because you have a lot of muscle here.’” – “It sure has helped my neck.” – “The breathing is really good.” – “The balancing is helpful.” – “I sure feel better.” - “I like it when you flip to the last exercise page.” After the BIG HUG at the end you hear, “Phew!” It is a big commitment to come three times a week to lead this class. It lasts around 20 minutes and certainly is a special gift to the residents. Maureen leaves Sunnyview and 45 minutes later has another class in the R.C. Library. We know how much this helps her stay young and those in the class know how important it is to them. Saying THANK YOU for such dedication is hard to express. Think about it --- 23 years!!!

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!
As Christmas music played to set the mood, many residents gathered to assist Life Enrichment team members in decorating for the holidays. As each tree was assembled and decorations chosen, residents strung the lights and tinsel and hung ornaments. Some residents enjoyed the simplistic look while others thought the trees should be “loaded” with ornaments. Discussion of the tree decorations led to the sharing
of each person’s holiday traditions, including Christmas shopping. Our “festive look” this year consists of three six-foot Christmas trees, garland at the entry to each neighborhood, beautiful large poinsettia plants, and a variety of snowmen, santas and other holiday decorations throughout the building. Some of the favorites include a Nativity in the chapel and the two sets of carolers.
Thought for the day is: The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. The Trivia Question for the week is: Railroad and avid hunter Charles Whitehead named what three towns along his railway for three of his favorite prey? Thanksgiving guests in the Sheila Cline home were Jed Cline of Council Bluffs, Zeke Cline of Lohrville and Jackie King and family and Kenzie. Guest for supper was Jim Cline of Grimes. Leland Jones was a visitor for Thanksgiving in the home of his daughter Pat Hill and family at Ellesworth. Rose Heath and Cecil Cook were guests in the home of Rosie’s daughter Faye and Rusty Huster of Lytton. Shirley and Quinten Riedesel spent Thanksgiving in the home of their daughter Carol in Webster City. The Adaza Club’s Christmas Potluck was held in the J.J.Hands Library on Thursday. The club will be sending money to the Food Pantries in Calhoun and Green Counties. Wednesday was the last day until
after the New Year for the Audrie’s Angels to meet and read after school .It has been quite an experience helping and I really enjoyed doing it. Jane and Dwane Bechorner spent Friday in Indianola. Herman Seil had shoulder surgery in Clarion last week and is in rehab at Shady Oaks. Glad you are better Herman. Edythe Cavanaugh of Denver, Colorado had a birthday last week and was remembered by her Lohrville friends with cards and phone calls. The Helping Hand Club met on Tuesday at Larry’s Drive Thru in Lake City Larry came out to say hello. President Kathryn Myers was unable to attend due to illness. Well here’s hoping you all got your shopping done before Christmas and now are enjoying this Christmas Season. The answer to the Trivia Question is Mallard, Plover, and Curlew. I think Louise Mapes got that one. Get me your Christmas news as soon as you can. Anyone having an item for Lohrville news may contact Bette Knapp at 712-465-3295.

This week’s sponsor:
Pauline Blaas and her family celebrating her twin great-grandchildren’s birthday. It seems like every week I start off by saying how busy we have been, but it is true. We have had so many fun things going on at Sunny Knoll. Last Friday we got to celebrate with Pauline Blass’ twin greatgrandchildren, as they celebrated their birthdays. We had fun watching them open their presents. We also had special visitors come and donate their afternoon with us. Eileen Bartles granddaughter and great-grandchildren came and made snowflakes. You should stop and see their handiwork. They also made it back on Monday to read with to us and write Christmas letters. We enjoy seeing their smiling faces and look forward to getting to spend more time with them. This week we also decorated for Christmas. I could never say a big enough thank you to Bill and Linda Haeder for their donation of Christmas decorations and the beautiful new tree we have. Bill even came and set it up for us! Then we spent the morning decorating the tree and sharing stories of Christmas’ past. We also shared what we would
like for Christmas this year. Paul hit the nail on the head when he said he would like a winning lottery ticket! This week we started several painting projects as well. We are in the process of making snowmen out of bricks. It took two days to get them painted. We also tried our hand at making puff paint snowflakes. That was a little harder than anticipated, but we still had fun. Thank you to Doris Hunt for the donation of paint and bingo prizes, we are so thankful to you. We have been painting like crazy! We are getting ready for our Christmas party on December 16th. Come join us at 5:30pm for supper and carols and a special visit from Santa! I am excited to go shopping for gifts for all our residents. Our fund raisers raised were very successful and I cannot wait to spoil our residents. Lois Hoyt was the winner of our last fundraiser winning the homemade rug. Thanks to everyone! Stop in and see us and the fun we have been having! Jennifer Roberts~Activity Director
