Concerts need adjustment

By Ken Ross Graphic-Advocate Editor The auditorium at the South Central Calhoun Middle School in Rockwell City provides a better sound for vocal concerts than the middle school gym and can be decorated for a holiday concert better than can be done in the gym but there is not enough space for everybody who wants to come to see

three grades perform, according to Marc DeMoss, SCCMS principal.

A vocal concert was held for grades 4-6 on Dec. 9 in the auditorium.

After each grade performed, those in the audience to see a particular grade perform were asked to step out so others could see their family members perform.

“After talking with music teachers, I’d have to say it didn’t go well,” DeMoss said. He suggested

that in the future, there needs to be a better job of communication ahead of time if the auditorium is used for a performance.

On Dec. 13, a concert was held at the middle school for the 6th grade band, the 7th & 8th grade band and the 7th & 8th grade chorus.

There was ample room for the audience in the gym although there were some complaints that the 6th grade vocal and band concerts were

held on separate nights.

“Some instructors get offended by those comments and argue that if it was a basketball game, parents wouldn’t be upset by being asked to come twice or even three times a week,” DeMoss said. He added in defense of parents wanting more convenient scheduling, “December is busy for a lot families and there are a lot of things to be done.”

SCC approves reduced vaccination policy

By Ken Ross Graphic-Advocate Editor After a continuation of an emotional discussion from last month on flu vaccination policy, the South Central Calhoun School Board at a Dec. 16 meeting of school boards (SCC, Southern Cal and Rockwell City/ Lytton) approved a more restrictive and limited policy regarding flu vaccinations in school buildings.

Controversy arose as the result of two children, one this fall and one in the previous school year, being vaccinated in error without parental permission.

Since there are no more flu shot sessions scheduled in school buildings for the current school year, the policy is only a matter of concern for the SCC board. The S. Cal and RCL districts will be consolidated as the SCC district as of July 1, 2014.

At the start of discussion, Ron Maulsby, RCL and SCC board member, noted that the issue was a very emotional one for him and his family. He excused himself from discussion on the matter and left the room during the remainder of discussion and action on the vaccination policy.

Action taken on county employee insurance

By Ken Ross Graphic-Advocate Tammy Carlson a firm that provides independent auditing for Calhoun County addressed county department heads through a speaker phone discussion about health insurance for employees during the monthly department head portion of the board of supervisors meeting regarding.

“The past few years, the health insurance fund balance kept decreasing,” Carlson said.

The county partially self-funds health insurance and pays part of each employee’s deductible cost to have a higher health insurance policy deductible, and therefore lower premiums.

The county’s health insurance fund has a negative cash balance cash balance of $20,700. Carlson suggested that each department provide a total of $70,000 from their budget to cover the shortfall and shore up the fund.

Carlson broke down the percentage of the $70,000 for each department based on the percentage of employee premiums in paid by each department.

After lengthy discussion in which it was noted that the negative balance is not growing but actually moving in the other direction, a consensus was reached that the $70,000 should be reduced to $35,000. *** Sue Hammen of the County Public Health notified the board and department heads that the facility that provides Drug Free Workplace training gave no alternative to satisfying the training requirement other than having each supervisor go to Fort Dodge for the training.

Hammen had sought an alternative to the costly requirement. Others at the meeting questioned the value of repeating the same course year after year with little change in the information taught.

More options will be looked into.

In the past, the districts have done organizational work and paper work for flu vaccinations administered by the Calhoun County Public Health Department. The problem that arose in both previous incidents involved flu shots, which are not legally required.

The discussion and action at the Dec. 16 meeting only involved flu vaccinations and did not include vaccinations required by state law for children attending schools.

Superintendent Jeff Kruse advocated a policy change that if the school continues to serve as a venue for flu shots that the school do nothing more than hand out forms and provide the location for flu shots to be administered. The school district would no longer be involved in collecting permission forms and verifying that permission had been granted.

Kruse further proposed that a parent or guardian would need to be present in the case of vaccinations for an elementary or middle school student. High school students would still need to bring a signed permission form but would not need a parent to be present.

Kruse added that an alternative would be simply to discontinue using school buildings for a venue to administer flu shots, since there are other locations in communities of the district where flu shots are provided.

That latter suggestion was the option favored by SCC Board members Judy Hungate and Roscoe Simpson. Simpson had made a motion to accept the policy as presented because Roberts Rules of Order require a motion before discussion takes place but Simpson noted at the start of discussion that he would likely vote against the motion.

Four SCC members - Jim Brown,

Mark Schleisman, Mike Sexton and Brad Assman favored providing a venue in school buildings. However, Assman questioned the need for any language in the policy regarding parental presence. He noted that if the school buildings were simply locations where flu shots are given like any other location as advertised for flu shot clinics, then it should be totally up to the health department to oversee the program.

No amendment to the original proposal was made and the policy as presented was approved by a vote of 4 to 2 with one member not present.

All-State Jazz Singers

By Ken Ross Graphic-Advocate Editor Nothing can be expected next year, possibly for the next several years as far as community college based vocational education for South Central Calhoun High School students, Supt. Jeff Kruse, stated at a Dec. 16 school board meeting.

Career academies are opening up across the state where students can be bussed from high schools for three hours of vocational classes each day after or before half a day of regular classes. Recently Iowa Central Community College, based in Fort Dodge opened a career academy in Eagle Grove but nothing is planned for anything accessible to the SCC District.

“It is in Iowa Central‘s court now.” Kruse said, “If it is going to take three or four years, I’d rather consider DMACC at Carroll.”

The recommended distance between a high school and a career academy is no more than 25 miles. *** Rose Kutz, hot lunch supervisor, raised the question at the recent school board meeting of early retirement benefits for the non-

certified staff.

In light of the recently approved early retirement program for faculty members, Kutz raised the possibility of support staff pursuing this option.

The matter will be considered and discussed further at a later meeting but Kruse noted that the financial motivation behind offering this incentive for faculty was not present for the support staff.

Kruse noted that the school system is considering reducing the teaching staff through attrition but that is not being considered for support staff.

Although Kutz makes about twice the entry level wage of a kitchen worker, she would likely be replaced by a senior level kitchen worker who would be paid after a promotion close to or the same as Kutz. Often a new teacher will replace a retiring teacher at a much lower salary. *** Nicole McChesney, elementary principal, reported that the two girls who had undertaken a fundraising project to help the typhoon victims in the Philippines had raised about $350, exceeding their goal of $300.

“They’ve been very excited by the support,” McChesney said.

SCC to decide ‘hours or days’

By Ken Ross Graphic-Advocate For as long as anyone can remember, the state has had a minimum number of days in the school year but now the school district will have an option to choose a minimum number of hours instead, Supt. Jeff Kruse explained to those in attendance at the South Central Calhoun School Board on Dec. 16.

The changes that take effect for the 2014/15 school year provide the option of 1,080 hours of instruction rather than the 180 school days in the present calendar.

School districts that choose to remain with a minimum day requirement might have more difficulty in meeting that requirement in the future because of changes mandated in the law.

“According to the old rules if the district made a bona fide attempt to have school then that day would count toward the minimum requirement,” Kruse said. It didn’t matter how short the school day was, if classes actually started, that was a school day under the old rules.

As of the start of the next school year, those districts that choose to have a minimum number of days rather than hours will be required to have a minimum of six hours of instructional time in order for the day to be counted. Currently, a regular school day has 6 ½ hours of instructional time. If, as happened repeatedly at the start of the school year, school is let out two hours early because of heat, those days would

not count as school days, nor would days with delayed starts because of weather.

Kruse explained that at 6 ½ hours a day, 180 days comes to 90 hours over the state minimum. However, the schools have in the past applied for and had approved by the state, alternative calendars that allowed some of the 180 days to be used for staff in-service days. This will not be allowed in the future.

A minimum hours calendar provides flexibility to the district, with some districts now considering a four-day, extended hours school day.

This would create substantial savings in food and transportation costs. However, there are numerous potential drawbacks to such a plan.

Kruse noted that some kids already needed to get on buses early in the morning and getting on earlier and getting off later might not be educationally sound. It might also interfere with afternoon activities.

There might be some pushback from parents if students had one less school day during the school year.

Also, the costs savings would come at the expense of the working hours that support staff currently expect from their jobs. Some of the savings from the reduced lunch servings would be offset by reduced revenue.

Kruse said he is not in favor of going to a four-day school week until other districts had tried that.

Board members who commented on the matter echoed that opinion.

During the South Central Calhoun High School Christmas Concert on Dec. 19, Vocal Music Director Erin Thieszen recognized five students selected for the All-State Jazz Choir. They are (left to right) Morgan Snyder, Stephanie Rautanen, Katie Welander, Jace Neubaum and Jacob Clark. Look for more photos from the high school concert in the Jan. 1 Graphic-Advocate.

Three who won’t last until ‘16

Empty Nest By Curt Swarm

77-Year Pen Pal!

THANK YOU

With Christmas the time for renewing ties with family, friends and loved ones, here’s a story that may be somewhat of a record. 89year old Mary Catherine Adam of Fairfield, formerly of rural Batavia, has had a pen pal in Australia for 77 years, and counting! Yep. Little Mary Catherine (then) Pacha was 12-years old (or thereabouts) when her teacher in Pleasant Plain talked about pen pals and provided a list of addresses for the kids to choose from. Mary Catherine picked Betty Myles in Albury, Australia, mainly because Mary Catherine was fascinated by the idea of kangaroos and Aborigines throwing boomerangs.

Several months later, Mary Catherine was confused when she received a strange looking letter in the mail. It may have been the first letter she had ever received. Then she remembered—her pen pal!

Betty Myles was quick to set Mary Catherine straight about the number of Aborigines and kangaroos, similar, she suspected, to the presence of American Indians and buffalo in America. But the seed was planted for a lifelong relationship with a friend in a foreign country through letters. Remember the art of letter writing?

At first the two girls talked about what they were doing in school,

Mary Catherine Adam their families, and what they wanted to be when they grew up. Mary Catherine was surprised that Betty’s handwriting was so similar to other girls in her class; and to realize that life in Australia wasn’t all that much different from America. They had big cities, and small towns, rural and urban areas, just like America. She noted the difference in terminology, like “bush” for woods or forest; and, more recently, “wheelie walker” for “walker” or the differences in procedures, like dialing 000 for the ambulance, instead of 911.

The pen pals were confidants,

We wish to thank, one and all for remembering us during this sad time. We thank you for the cards, letters, for the monetary gifts, the food brought to our home, the floral arrangements and your visits.

- Mrs. Gerald Dial and Family

someone to talk to over the years about what was going on in their lives. And there was plenty going on. Mary Catherine and her husband had 13 children on their farm that was one mile east of the Eldon Y. One of their sons, Steve, was killed in a tractor accident when he was only four years old. Her husband was driving the tractor, and he never did get over the tragic accident.

Being able to write to a stranger, an unbiased pen pal about what was happening in their lives was such a relief, a load shared.

Then, of course, there was always politics to discuss. In a letter from last year, Betty Myles in Australia laments: “You must be sick and tired of your elections which have been going on. We all get sick of same thing here. We have to vote, otherwise I wouldn’t bother.”

Mary Catherine was able to visit Betty. She and her husband went on a cruise to New Zealand and Australia.

Mary Catherine and Betty had exchanged pictures, so they knew what each other looked like; but Mary Catherine was pleased to see that Betty’s personality was as soft and gentle as her letters portrayed.

Betty had never married. Her fiancé had been killed in the war, whereas Mary Catherine’s husband had come home from World War II—a major topic in many of their early letters.

Both the same age, both almost ninety now, their letters have dwindled to once a year—a card and letter at Christmas. Mary Catherine bundles herself against the unusually cold December weather. Her daily exercise doesn’t consist of much more than a walk to the mailbox.

But she makes that trip, no matter how cold and windy it is. It’s nearly Christmas. There may be a letter from Betty.

Ross Rambles

By Ken Ross, Graphic-Advocate Editor

The New Year will soon be here, meaning the political season has arrived, the 2016 political season.

Those who groan at mention of the 2016 presidential race in 2014 are probably the type of people who would rather engage in social interaction, in community activities or in other such frivolity rather than pore over obscure political tracts in search of elusive nuggets of subtle meanings.

Fortunately, my priorities are not distorted by the condition I derisively refer to as ‘having a life.’

The pundits at major news organizations are invariably wrong in predicting party nominees this early. Thank goodness I’m not one of those people.

The universally acknowledged frontrunner for the Democratic nomination is Hilary Clinton. Joe Biden is sometimes mentioned but the more frequent pick among oldschool liberals is Elizabeth Warren.

Like Clinton, she could make history as the first woman president, but Warren has stated she supports Hilary Clinton for president. Clearly, Warren would step aside if Clinton runs, as expected.

Among Republicans, the three politicians who are most openly and aggressively seeking the 2016 GOP nomination for president are Ted Cruz, Chris Christie and Rand Paul.

It is impossible to predict who will get the Republican nomination for president two years prior to the election year, but it is sometimes possible to say who will not be nominated.

Three politicians who are too damaged to possibly get the GOP presidential nomination in 2016 are

(insert suspense building superfluous text here) Ted Cruz, Chris Christie and Rand Paul.

Ted Cruz, senator from Texas, was the highest profile leader in the embarrassing and damaging government shutdown, making him a pariah among the Republican establishment and among key financial supporters. He was never liked by the establishment, perhaps never liked by anyone other than his equally discredited allies in the government shutdown fiasco, but for a brief time he was acknowledged to be influential.

With that taken away he is now no more than a pompous, overreaching freshman senator.

Chris Christie, governor of New Jersey, has a personality that is sometimes abrasive. He has a reputation for dealing harshly with opponents. This has been fairly well-received by New Jersey voters who admire his outspokenness and willingness to aggressively pursue his interests, which are usually also the interests of New Jersey residents.

Christie’s brusque urban Northeast style might not be as well received in the polite rural Midwest, but a developing scandal might prevent that from being put to the test.

In order to establish himself as having appeal to both Democrats and Republicans and to pad his already sizable lead in his reelection effort, Christie actively sought endorsements from Democratic officials as well as Republicans.

The Democratic mayor of Fort Lee, New Jersey, refused to endorse Christie and subsequently, two of the three lanes that give access to the George Washington Bridge from

Fort Lee were closed for several days. The bridge, referred to as the busiest in the world, connects New Jersey and New York.

Traffic backed up into Fort Lee, causing gridlock and potentially preventing emergency vehicles from responding to a call.

The initial explanation of the action as a traffic study was quickly discredited and no other credible explanation has been put forward other than petty political retribution.

It is unknown whether Christie personally ordered the closure but the person directly responsible was a high school classmate of Christie’s.

Whether or not Christie had prior knowledge of the bridge closing, his hostile reaction to criticism and sarcastic dismissal of the importance of the matter has put him over the line from colorful character to total jerk, even for most New Jersey residents. Christie doesn’t apologize for his excesses, a fact that in itself disqualifies him from seeking a presidential nomination.

There are things to not like about Rand Paul, senator from Kentucky, both as far as policy beliefs and elements of his character. However, he is carrying on his father’s lonely battle to raise issues that desperately need discussed, issues the national media have gone to extraordinarily lengths to avoid discussing. For this reason I’ll be dealing with my dismissal of Rand Paul as a potential GOP candidate at more length in next week’s column.

Also, I’m tired of writing now and my favorite Vitamix infomercial is coming on.

Leah Rosado, Director Lake City Betterment Association It is that time of year again. The time when the calendar reminds us that there are new beginnings happening all around us.

Letter to the Editor: To the editor Recently while staying in your beautiful city I received a seat belt violation ticket. While I most certainly was not wearing my belt, something I never fail to do, the state patrolman was not interested in my perfect driving record or the fact we were going through neighborhoods looking at houses at 20 mph.

We go to Minnesota quite often.

Imagine my surprise when I went to pay for my ticket online and it came to 111.50 dollars. We had to pay eighty-six plus dollars in surcharges,

library fee? and a service fee.

We are retired and on fixed incomes, this was utterly ridiculous. Now it may be quite some time before my wife and I come back. That is too bad as we spend money on hotels, restaurants, gas stations etc.

We are on a fixed income and that twenty five dollar ticket came out way too much. We otherwise had a nice time staying at The Willows, and eating at the dining establishments in town.

There is no fee to attend the workshop, but commercial applicators must register by Jan. 3 by contacting the ISU Extension and Outreach Calhoun County office at 712-297-8611.

The training will be held at the Extension office at 521 4th Street in Rockwell City.

Commercial manure applicators needing to recertify and those wanting to certify for the first time should attend. The workshop will provide the required three hours of annual training and will cover applicator rules, biosecurity issues, foaming pits, and development of manure application rates, and how to read manure plans.

All currently certified commercial manure applicator licenses will expire on March 1. Commercial applicators can attend training throughout the year, but if they were previously certified, they should plan to attend training and submit the forms and fees to DNR prior to March 1 to avoid paying the late fees.

Certification fees for commercial manure applicators have not changed for 2014. All applicators are encouraged to attend the workshops or to plan to view training materials

on the scheduled reshow date at their local county extension office. The fee will not apply to workshops or scheduled reshow dates.

Please contact the ISU Extension and Outreach office in Calhoun County to determine which days are scheduled for the manure applicator certification programs. Due to scheduling conflicts, many county Extension offices will no longer accept walk-in appointments to watch the training DVDs. If attending the Jan. 7 commercial manure applicator program or watching the three-hour DVD is not convenient, commercial applicators may contact their local DNR field office to schedule an appointment to take the certification exam. In addition to needing an appointment to take the exam, applicators must bring a pencil and photo identification, and should plan to bring a calculator.

Commercial manure applicators hauling, handling or land-applying primarily dry or solid manure are encouraged to attend the dry manure applicator workshops scheduled for February 2014. Dates and locations can be found in the link below.

For more information about the commercial applicator program, contact the ISU Extension and Outreach Calhoun County office at 712-297-8611 or access a list of the training locations at: www.agronext.iastate. edu/immag/certification/ macprogrampostcard.pdf

CENTRAL SCHOOL REMEMBERS

Pictured are (left to right) Bob and big brother Hayden Stauter, Dr. Derek Duncan, board certified family practice physician at Stewart Memorial Community Hospital, and baby Hanna and her mom Jessica Stauter.

Baby wishes come true for Fonda couple For two years, Bob and Jessica Stauter wished to start a family.

The rural Fonda couple wished so much that after trying on their own, they began consulting with multiple physicians. Bob and Jessica tried several cycles of fertility treatments without success. A treatment cycle includes ovulation induction, cycle monitoring, triggering ovulation, and the determination of pregnancy with a blood test.

When the fertility treatments didn’t work, the Stauters decided to take a break from the highs and lows of hope and frustration. “We were trying different treatments to get pregnant, but nothing was working,” recalls Jessica. But the couple still desired to have a child of their own, so they made an appointment with Dr. Derek Duncan, a board certified family physician at Stewart Memorial Community Hospital in Lake City. Dr. Duncan had other suggestions for the couple, including seeing a specialist in infertility in Des Moines. They opted to try artificial insemination. “After 12 to 14 weeks, Dr. Duncan determined the pregnancy was nonviable,” explains Jessica.

In spite of their disappointment, the desire to start a family was strong for the Stauters. “We took another break from the fertility treatments

for a time, but then went back on.

During the part of the cycle where we were on a break, we found out we were pregnant,” remembers Jessica.

The mom-to-be was thrilled with the news their wish was finally coming true.

The pregnancy went well. During each check-up appointment, Dr. Duncan closely monitored Jessica and the baby. The delivery of Hayden Stauter on September 9, 2011, however, proved challenging. “I had to have an emergency cesarean section. Because of complications during delivery, Hayden had a phnemothorax (collapsed lung) and had to be transferred to a Des Moines hospital by helicopter for specialized pediatric care,” says Jessica.

At that stressful time, the Stauters credit Dr. Duncan with keeping Bob calm. “Dr. Duncan was in complete control. He moved fast when the situation required it, and he kept me informed the whole time. I felt like I knew what was going on before it happened,” says Bob. The couple also commends the surgical staff for their skills and the personal level of comfort they provided during the c-section.

“I was separated from the Hayden for five days, because I needed to stay in Lake City to recover from surgery,” notes Jessica. During that time, she says the staff was diligent about keeping her informed of newborn son’s status. “They were so emotionally tied, on a personal level, with what was happening to me and my family. I felt the whole staff really cared about us. When I was finally being discharged so I could go see my baby, Dr. Duncan

himself picked my presciption up from Community Pharmacy and brought it to me!”

Hayden recovered and has grown to be a happy and healthy boy.

His parents decided to give him a younger sibling. This time, they were able to get pregnant without the help of fertility medicines. After an uncomplicated c-section delivery, little sister Hanna was born on September 19, 2013. “She’s a great baby - so healthy, happy and laidback! She was sleeping through the night at two weeks old!” claims her mother.

Follow-up care for her children has been wonderful. Jessica, who makes most of the appointments for her family, is impressed by Dr. Duncan’s staff, Andreau Kramer, LPN, and Amy Vote, CMA. “Dr. Duncan’s nurses care for our whole family. They know we have to travel to get to our appointments.

They are receptive to our needs and are considerate of our time, accommodating our schedule as much as possible. We feel they are an extension of our family because they know what is needed to make our experiences in their office the best possible.”

“Wishing to start a family was a big decision. Growing our family with a second child was an even bigger one. But deciding to continue with Dr. Duncan was easy. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!” exclaims Jessica.

From Alumni Report – One often wonders if today’s high school students tack nicknames onto their classmates which stay with them for the rest of their days? Some we can easily recall–Melvin Stanfield was Ducky, Frank Chapman is still Beanie, Albert McCaulley was Boob, Lester Nichols is Mike, Marion McCaulley was called Mac or M.R., Bernard Willis was Abie, Frank Wayne was Cicero, Alfred Boldes was Bud, Ralph Damon was called Fat, Pee Wee was Eva Burch’s nickname while Violet McQueen was always Jiggs. Porter Colvig was and still is Cy, Cecil Perkins was Perk, and Gleen Hobart is Duke.

Mrs. A. M. Short, who has served as organist of Woodlawn Christian church for 55 years, was honored by members of the congregation last Sunday afternoon.

Mrs. Short was escorted to the place of honor as Queen for the Day by her grandson, Ron Johnson.

Mrs. Darryl Johnson escorted her father.

Quick thinking and action by a 16-year-old youth undoubtedly saved the lives of two small children here Tuesday night. Bill Trotter was baby-sitting at the Tom Jensen home, 515 N. Woodlawn, when he was awakened from a nap at 11:45 by the smell of smoke. Seeing that the Christmas tree was on fire, he rushed upstairs to the smoke-filled room where Lori Jensen, 2 and one half and her 4 month old brother, Tommy were sleeping. He quickly got the children out of the house, then went to the home of a neighbor and called the Fire Department.

Fire Chief Al Redenius and other firemen are convinced that had the boy taken time to call the firemen first, the Jensen children would undoubtedly have suffocated from smoke inhalation.

Mr. and Mrs. Everett Boyd will be honored at an Open House from 2 to 4 p.m. on January 5 at the I.P.S. Community Room. Hosts for the farewell courtesy are their neighbors.

The Boyd’s, who have lived on the present farm for twenty-three years are moving to Cleveland, Ohio. Their children are Dr. William Boyd and Attorney Earl Boyd of Los Angeles, California, Mrs. John Knable of Cleveland, James Boyd of Ames, Jay Boyd of Farlin and Gail Boyd of Lake City.

Mr. and Mrs. Gail Boyd entertained the Boyd family at a pre-Christmas dinner at their home Sunday, including Dr. Wm. Boyd of Los Angeles, California, Dr. and Mrs. Jack Knable and family of Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. and Mrs. James Boyd and son of Ames, Mr. and Mrs. Everett Boyd of Rockwell City and Wayne Dowling of Lohrville.

People make charitable donations for various reasons. Some are motivated by a desire to give back to their communities, while others may be inspired by a particular cause whether that cause is based down the street or across the globe.

Network for Good, an organization that helps nonprofits connect with prospective donors, says 89 percent of American households give to charity. Gifts average 3.2 percent of household income, or roughly $1,620 annually, and oftentimes such donations are tax deductible.

The Canada Revenue Agency and the United States Internal Revenue Service are the organizations tasked with overseeing tax-related issues.

In-depth information regarding applicable tax deductions can be found on their respective Web sites,www.cra-arc.gc.ca and www. irs.gov. Individuals also consult with a qualified accountant should they have any questions regarding charitable donations and deductions.

In addition, there are some guidelines for donors to follow when Nicholas Kavanaugh and Megan making donations and claiming tax Wharff of Cedar Falls are pleased to deductions. announce their engagement.

* Recognize that only charitable contributions made in the calendar year are potentially eligible to be claimed as deductions. For example, only those donations made between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013 can be claimed on your 2013 tax returns (filed in 2014). Therefore, if you’re hoping to deduct donations as soon as possible, do your giving before the end of the calendar year. * Canadians can only claim charitable donations on their taxes if the charities that benefitted from their donations are recognized as registered charities. A list of registered charities is available on the CRA Web site. Donors also can verify with a charity if they are registered before making donations. * The United States also requires donations be given to a qualified organization for donors to earn a deduction. You cannot deduct contributions made to specific individuals or political candidates and organizations.

SCC girls basketball team undefeated

By Doug Dornath South Central Calhoun’s varsity girls basketball team rolled to a 68-23 triumph at Burnside over Southeast Webster-Grand Tuesday, Dec. 17, to improve to 6-0 overall.

The Titans held the Eagles to only two first quarter points as they surged to a 20-2 first period lead.

SCC continued to dominate the game in the second period, outscoring SEW-G 13-8 in the period to lead 33-10 at the half. In the third period, the Titans extended to a 50-17 lead by the end of the period and held the Eagles to only six points in the final eight minutes of play.

“I was extremely pleased with the level of energy we played with,” said SCC head girls basketball coach Dave Birks. “Our defensive intensity was very good which led to some easy transition baskets. Our point guards did a great job pushing the ball which kept a lot of pressure on their defense. We are also getting better at recognizing open scoring opportunities.”

The

In all, 10 different Titans scored at least two points in the game led by junior Haley Birks with 16. Tyffaney Toms finished with 12 points, five rebounds and three blocks and Michaela Graffunder added 11 points to go with her team-high eight steals and she also added three assists.

Kori Assman finished with eight points and led the Titans in rebounds with seven while teammate Ashley Henkenius finished with six points, four steals and four assists.

Hannah Corey added five points, five rebounds and a pair of steals and Kellsie Knapp and Jadyn Khommanyvong each chipped in with three points apiece. Cali Miller and Maria Dischler rounded out the scoring with two points each. Allison Birks contributed three steals and three assists for the Titans in the win.

The Titans finished shooting 46 percent from the field and were 10for-13 at the free throw line. As a team, the Titans collected 22 assists, had 16 assists and committed 16 turnovers.

The Titans were scheduled to face West Bend-Mallard in West Bend Friday, Dec. 20, and were to host Emmetsburg Saturday, Dec. 21, in Rockwell City. See next week’s paper for a recap of those games.

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!

Merry Christmas from Shady Oaks!!

Throughout the month of December, the residents have enjoyed being serenaded with Christmas songs by the Pilgrim Lutheran Sunday School Classes, the South Central Calhoun Third Graders, and Shady Oaks Team members. Cowboy Jim visited and residents had fun acting out the songs he sang. Among other activities, residents enjoyed the monthly birthday party and making “Blingy Santas.”

December is always a busy month and Christmas comes faster than any of us expect! As you have been busy decorating your homes, going about your Christmas shopping, and planning Christmas dinner, have you stopped to smell the evergreens?

Yes, you read that right “stop and smell the evergreens.” The late Pope John Paul II said during his message before 2004 Christmas,

“The Christmas tree is an ancient custom that exalts the value of life, because the evergreen tree remains unchanged through the harshness of winter. When gifts are arranged under the tree, it becomes a symbol of ‘the tree of life’, a figure of Christ, God’s greatest gift to all men.”

It’s ironic that the hustle and bustle of the holidays can cause us to lose focus on the things we most treasure during this season—our families, as well as the true reason that we celebrate—the birth of Jesus. I encourage you to keep these things in the forefront of your mind. Stop and enjoy the lights, the music, the decorations, the sounds of families laughing together, and make a point to spend some quality time with your loved ones. May each of you enjoy the whole beautiful holiday adventure!

My thought for the day is: Did you ever notice that the Roman numerals for forty (40) are XL? The Trivia Question for the week is: What ABC correspondent grew up in northwest Iowa and worked at WMT in Cedar Rapids?

On Wednesday several friends attended a Tea at Bette’s home celebrating the Holidays. There were nine in all and a good time was had by all.

On Wednesday Karan Caldwell, Toni Kerns and Bette Knapp of the Lohrville United Methodist Women attended a Christmas Tea at the

Rockwell City UMC Church. It was a lovely program and was enjoyed by all.

The Lohrville community is saddened by the death of Larry Hood. He was a Calhoun County Supervisor for several years and was a good one watching out for the southern part of the county The answer to the Trivia Question is Richard Threlkeld I remember when he was on a Des Moines station .Do you remember which one?

Anyone having an item for Lohrville news may contact Bette Knapp at 712-465-3295.

LOHRVILLE

SUNNYVIEW

The Christmas excitement is growing around here. Visitors are arriving. The postal delivery people are bringing cards and packages, and the florists are bringing floral arrangements. This season is heralded by many events. A person could easily get caught up in the whirlwind of preparation.

Do you have traditions for this season? An informal survey of some Sunnyview residents came up with a few ideas. It means a lot to Elgene to attend the children’s Christmas program at church – it brings back memories of being in the same type of program when she was a child.

Marlene’s tradition is the candlelight service at the Methodist Church.

For Delmar, it is a custom to have oyster stew on Christmas Eve. And at Mary’s house, gifts are opened on Christmas Eve. Others mentioned leaving out cookies for Santa.

A few of the Sunnyview staff shared some Christmas “favorite activities.” For Angie Hawkins it is not Christmas unless she and her grandchildren make “cut-out” cookies. At the homes of Jana Blunt and Cindy Kraft, a requirement is the National Lampoon movie “Christmas Vacation.” The movie “Elf” was also mentioned. According to Sandy, the Alne household has a tradition of eating enchiladas on Christmas day. (We hope to hear more Christmas and New Year traditions.)

Once in a while it is nice to stay in, especially if the weather is bad. What is there to do if you are spending a quiet evening at home?

For some of us it is hard to imagine the Christmas season without those television specials. “A Charlie Brown Christmas” comes to mind, as well as “The Little Drummer

Boy” and a several Christmas specials with Andy Williams (from Wall Lake, Iowa). We also remember programs with Bob Hope entertaining our military troops on foreign soil, year after year. Maybe you have favorite Christmas songs or programs involving Nat King Cole, Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Celine Dion, Alvin and the Chipmunks, or Toby Mac. So, what programs are to be found on television this Christmas? Here is a selection of Christmas related programming that we found at the IPTV website, from a list at www. iptv.org/series.cfm.

Christmas at Belmont Christmas at Luther: Tidings of Comfort and Joy Christmas Carol: The Concert Christmas in Norway with the St. Olaf Choir Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Featuring Alfie Boe and Tom Brokaw Lawrence Welk Holiday Special: Great Moments and Memories National Christmas Tree Lighting 2013 Silent Night (This opera recounts the true story of the World War I Christmas Eve truce in 1914) St. Thomas Christmas: All Is Well 2013 The Nutcracker Ballet - Quad Cities And for something a little different, there is a program called Xmas without China. This program centers on an interesting challenge: Is it possible to make it through the Christmas season without any Chinese products? Hmmm.

Merry Christmas and God bless us, every one. Remember the birth of the King.

SENIOR MENUS

SUNNY KNOLL

With all of the hustle and bustle of the holidays it is so nice to stop and take time to be with family.

This past week we held our resident and family Christmas party. I was overwhelmed by the crowd we had.

Thank you to all who came and made it such a special night. We started the evening off with Bill Haeder saying the blessing before eating a nice meal the kitchen fixed.

Although the food was great the best part was dessert. We had homemade goodies and cookies all made by our residents. Linda Haeder brought in her keyboard and played Christmas carols while Bill lead us in song.

Such beautiful voices! It worked out very well that Santa arrived while we were singing jingle bells! Santa went around and visited everyone delivering candy canes. Santa was also gracious enough to hand out all of our gifts. Thank you to Bill and the Titan Singers Linda and to Santa! I would like to also thank Abbey Willison, Cindy Souder, Leah Kretlow and Janet their teacher Judy Panning came Main for all of the hard work. I often Monday afternoon. The Titan get the credit for doing nice things Singers are part of an after school but I owe a lot to the people who program of kids who love to sing. help me.

We enjoy having them here and Monday was also a special day look forward to next year! Merry as we were lucky to have the Titan Christmas from all of the residents Singers come and sing Christmas and staff at Sunny Knoll! Jennifer carols for us. The kids along withT:3.75”Roberts~Activity Director
