Letters to the Editor Turner Hall: 1925 Holstein, Iowa.
Out of the Past Forty years ago The 17-man courthouse study commission voted to recommend the county build a new courthouse on the present courthouse site and raze the existing structure. After seven months of meetings, the committee reaf irmed its original decision to locate a new courthouse outside Ida Grove’s city limits. At last week’s meeting, the committee approved a site offered by Byron Godbersen near the Rural Electric cooperative of ices east of Ida Grove. However, as of Friday, Godbersen had withdrawn his offer of free land stating he didn’t want to be in the middle between opposing factions. Ida Grove’s city council will take a letter survey of town residents to see if they still want a west access road, where the road should be and whether residents want to pay the price for a longer road around Co-op, Inc. The survey letters will go out with city water bills at the end of the month and results should be tabulated some time in October. Thirty years ago An early morning storm sashayed through Ida County on Saturday causing major damage
at the Ida County fairgrounds and at Farmland Industries, leaving a trail of power outages in its path. Although there were no actual tornado sightings, the nature of much of the damage in southern Ida County was common of a twister, spotty, with twisted trees and small limbs driven like spears through buildings. Odebolt-Arthur gears up to celebrate another homecoming week when they will host Ida Grove. During the week students will participate in dress up days that include holiday themes. The Trojans will face off against the Ida Grove Hawks in football action at 7 p.m. Twenty years ago An area of growing concern for residents of Ida County is the increasing shortage of personnel to run ambulance services. Ida County receives its coverage from ambulance services in Ida Grove, Battle Creek and Holstein and First Responder squads in Arthur and Galva. Two of the three ambulance services in Ida Grove and Battle Creek have experienced signi icant decreases in personnel during the past few years. The Odebolt-Arthur School Board discussed the need for
additional high school classrooms and reorganized during the meeting held Monday. Mark Bettin was reelected board president. Superintendent Dick Pro it noted the district isn’t expecting a large increase in students, but the addition of several specialty programs has prompted the need for additional classrooms, including a room for the ICN classes. Ten years ago Ida County Parks Director Rhett Leonard posed for a photo opportunity with a dead 22pound bobcat that was struck by a vehicle west of Battle Creek approximately two weeks ago. The conservation board plans to have the cat mounted for use in educational presentations. The Ida County Board of Supervisors discussed tax incentives for a proposed ethanol plant Sept. 15. Kathy Schowalter of Plan Scape Partners and Steve Core of Fagen Inc. gave a presentation on a proposed 110 million-gallon ethanol plant on the south edge of Arthur. The site is being tested for water availability and some 40-50 soil borings will be taken in the next week or two to check for soil stability.
To the editor: Recently, I was able to listen to Aaron Thomas, high school principal at AplingtonParkersburg, speak about how we can make our communities stronger for the future. Two ideas he spoke about struck close to my heart: creating lasting memories for our children and developing a sense of pride in where we live. If the towns in our area are going to prosper, we need to create lasting memories and a sense of pride in where we live for our children, so they will want to raise their own families in the area. That is why my husband and
I decided to move back and raise our children in Ida County. The communities we were raised in created these lasting memories for us, as well as instilled a sense of pride in the school districts where we grew up. I would like to thank Whitney and the lifeguard staff at the Ida Grove City Pool for developing those memories for our children these last few years. I can recall many moments where I observed the lifeguard staff expressing care and interest in our children this summer, no matter what their age or physical ability. They created these wonderful
memories for our children in the area, sometimes, the only positive interactions that they received that day. We should feel a sense of pride in our community because our young adults made the Ida Grove City Pool a special place for all. Please join us by thanking Whitney and the lifeguards for all the care and compassion they gave our children this summer, and be proud that our community has a safe and nurturing place for all our children to grow and play.

To the editor: The BC-IG board has a tough choice. Continued whole grade sharing might be the best choice, if there is an atmosphere of trust between the two boards. If the two boards do not trust each other, we will look forward to years of power struggles, with the two boards knocking heads over every little thing where one board feels slighted. We cannot improve the education of our children in an atmosphere where the two boards see each other as devious and treacherous. From a BC-IG point of view, how else can we see the actions of an O-A board president who, in the spring, said he was supporting a reorganization effort, and, in private, is exploring options with the East Sac County district? And, their board leaders have sent a powerful message that they do not trust our board. Education is about teachers, and giving them an environment where they can succeed with students. Finances are a means to do
that. Constant squabbling about which district pays for what is a distraction, and another symptom of a power struggle. Focus on creating a healthy environment for teachers to do their jobs, and, prioritize spending to do that. Let’s put the cards on the table. A whole grade sharing arrangement where the two boards have this level of animosity will only lead to stagnation or regression. And, anyone who thinks that relationship can be repaired is delusional. Who wants to work in an environment where they have two bosses who they have to keep happy, and the bosses are constantly in a power struggle? I have seen two times in my life where our district has had a toxic relationship at the top, and the result of that was good teachers left. In both cases, we suffered educationally for years after that. The path of least resistance for the BC-IG board is to continue sharing. But, the path of least resistance is rarely the best path.
In this case, following that path of least resistance will lead to stagnation and a high stress environment for our staff. Splitting up will be stressful to those kids who walked out the other day, but, they have a remedy to stay with their friends; they can open enroll. BC-IG students can open enroll to O-A. O-A students can open enroll to BC-IG. Splitting up will be stressful to the administration for the next year, but, after that, much less stressful. They earn their salaries now, but, for the next year, while they unravel this knot, even more so. The O-A community overwhelmingly decided to follow their board, and vote for “Local Control”. I say we give them what they asked for, and let their board run a 300-student district all by themselves. See if they can comply with state mandates. And, if they can’t, the O-A community will ind out how little “Local Control” they really have. Randy Miller Ida Grove

Letters to the Editor To the editor: The vote on reorganization has come and gone ... we need to move on. I get that. But, at the urging of many, I am compelled to “defend myself’ against the defamation and slander contained in a letter to the people in the O-A School District before that recent election. The “Vote of 2016” will be a sour memory due to the personal attack on me and my family as well as my business associates. Worse yet it was an anonymous letter (i.e. unsigned) that was aimed at me but not mailed to me ... it went out to the world. Obviously, this was an attempt to tip the “playing ield” to the favor of those who opposed reorganization (just as a similar letter by that same person/group did back in the failed attempt of 2011). I must say “it worked.” You will need to talk long and hard to convince me that the real issues of reorganization were considered by many in determining the outcome of this vote. No. It’s one thing to present and twist the truthful
To the editor: Earlier this past spring, the patrons of the Odebolt-Arthur Community School District and the patrons of the Battle Creek-Ida Grove Community School District were asked by their respective board of directors to determine if the question of school district reorganization should be placed on a ballot and voted on by the eligible voters of the two districts by signing the petitions that were circulated in late March, April and the irst part of May. Enough of the patrons of the two districts signed the petitions to send the question to the Northwest Area Education Agency and the Prairie Lakes Area Education Agency for their review and consideration. The Northwest AEA Board of Directors and the Prairie Lakes AEA Board of Directors agreed to place the question on the ballot at a special election on Sept. 13 so that the eligible voters could answer the question, should the two districts reorganize as the Odebolt Arthur Battle Creek Ida Grove Community School District beginning on July 1, 2017? On Tuesday, Sept. 13, the eligible voters in the Battle Creek-Ida Grove Community School District overwhelming said yes, with 85 percent of the vote in favor of reorganization. At the same time, the eligible voters in the OdeboltArthur Community School District said no, the two districts should not reorganize, with 57 percent of the votes cast against the question of reorganization. In order for the question to pass, both districts were required to vote in favor by a simple majority of 50 percent plus one, and that didn’t happen. As I have indicated in my comments a number of times these past months, the question of school reorganization is a question full of emotion on all sides of the issue. At times, the discussions, comments, Facebook posts and letters leading up to the vote were contentious and emotional. The reactions following the publications of the election results were and are emotional and contentious in some corners. In my judgment, no matter how the election turned out, there would be individuals upset with the result. That is always part of an election. These are dif icult times for students, parents, staff, parents, patrons and board members. Now, we have to begin the process of moving forward to ind resolution to the remaining issues, so that the children we are committed to serving are provided the best possible learning opportunities each day the rest of this school year, next school year and into the future. It won’t be easy to do, but it is imperative that we ind a way to do just that. It is my hope that we can ind a way to heal the wounds, overcome our differences
facts (increased taxes, building closures, etc.), but it’s entirely “out of bounds” to intimidate people with slander and hurtful comments. Our high school students recently peacefully expressed themselves in regard to the positive relationships they have enjoyed (which is within their rights and did not infringe upon anyone else). However, an insensitive comment on this peaceful expression was posted by one of the persons who has made it clear that they did not favor reorganization suggesting that “there needs to be consequences paid for walking out. Waist of education time and teachers wages.” What a learning experience this has been for these students. It leads me to wonder if those who claimed to be voting for “what’s best for the students” truly did have the best interests of those students in mind. If you have access to “twitter,” check out the verbal expressions of O-A/BC-IG students. They do deserve to be
and begin the hard work that lies ahead. Next steps The current whole grade sharing agreement as O-A/BC-IG is still in effect. The big question about whole grade sharing for next year and future years will need to be decided yet by each school board. The school boards will begin discussions about several items in the next couple of weeks. Those discussions will include: • a review of the election results and the implications of that vote to the patrons of each district, • a review of the current whole grade sharing agreement currently in place, • a discussion of possible revisions to the agreement, • a discussion of a possible termination of that agreement that would cause each district to be on their own either next school year or the following school year, depending on the timing of that decision • and a discussion of whether or not a district needs to look for a different school district to partner with in a new sharing agreement of some type. School board members selected: On Sept. 13, each school district formally elected a new board member to complete un inished terms of board members who had resigned their positions due to relocations. The Battle CreekIda Grove School District selected Danika Hinkeldey to inish the unexpired term of Kim Claussen, and the Odebolt-Arthur School District selected Ryan Schroeder to complete the unexpired term of Naomi Lozier. Congratulations to Danika and Ryan on their election to the BCIG and O-A board of directors. Each school board will need to hold a special meeting in the near future to administer the oath of of ice to each of the new board members. In addition, they will need to hold their annual organizational meeting at the same time to select board of icers. Some inal thoughts: I apologize up front, at this point, because these inal thoughts are my own; they do not represent the school district or the school board; they are my thoughts that I want to share with you as we begin this process of moving forward. One thing I irmly believed in is that the eligible voters of the two school districts needed to have an opportunity to weigh in on the question of reorganization, and the best way to accomplish that was to place the question on a special election ballot. The eligible voters had that opportunity, and we now have the results. I support the democratic process that our country and our state provides us when it comes to these type of issues, and I think everyone should participate
heard. The bar and beauty shop talk has no doubt now moved on to other issues. The stock trailer has been moved. Most of the banners have been removed. Odebolt has rejected this opportunity. Battle Creek, Ida Grove and Arthur approved it in their communities. Now we in the Odebolt-Arthur School District are about to ind out what “Local Control” is and how it impacts the future of the O-A School. Ok. Now I’m turning the other cheek as I re lect on the integrity that allowed me to serve sel lessly for more than 25 years on our local chamber of commerce, O-A Booster Club and church council. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God and His peace which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds…” Philippians 4: 6-7.

in the process in some format or other, whether you are an eligible voter or not. The adults of our communities needed the opportunity to learn about the issues involved, debate them and then support their position. In addition, the young people of our communities needed to be able to participate, too. Becoming informed on the issues, learning about how the process works and what it takes to bring an issue like this before the community is an awesome learning opportunity for our students. However, in my opinion, any attempt to intimidate, bully, harass or ostracize another citizen because their position on an issue was different from yours was not an intended part of the democratic process. As citizens of this country, each of us has the right to express our point of view, take a position on the issues and attempt to sway others to believe and support their position. But, in a free country, we also have the responsibility to respect the rights of others to disagree with our stated position, respect their right to express their opinion and respect their right to attempt to sway others to believe as they do. It is all part of the democratic process that our founding fathers created and that our military heroes fought for in the past and our brave military men and women still ight for today, to safeguard that democratic process and the freedom we enjoy for us and for our children and grandchildren. In conclusion, my point simply is, we all had the opportunity to participate in this democratic process, and we saw it through to the end. At times, during the process, mean and hurtful things were said verbally or through social media and today, still mean and hurtful things have been said in one way or another, one format or another. As a result, there are many wounds that need to be healed, many bridges that need to be rebuilt because, in the end, we are a school community, and the success of our school community depends on the ability of those involved to be able to set aside their differences and work for the common good. Now is the time to begin the healing process and to begin to thoughtfully take the next steps of putting together the plans that will provide the best possible schools, the best possible learning opportunities for all of our students today, tomorrow and well into the future. Let’s do this together as a school community. Please let me know if you have questions or need additional information. Thanks for all that you do for our schools and our communities. Together we can make a difference. O-A/BC-IG Superintendent Terry Kenealy
by Doug Clough On the northeast side of Des Moines, where I grew up, our neighbor to the north was remarkable for a few reasons; most notable was that he was a fireman for the Des Moines Fire Department. After his retirement, a big red pumper would stop by on occasion after a fire or rescue call for its occupants to say hello to their retired family member. They would stop the rig like they were pulling up in the family station wagon, leap out in their gear and then sit on the stoop, telling stories while our neighbor’s wife brought out iced tea. That’s an impression that a young boy is not likely to forget. It’s no wonder, then, that I was equally impressed when I attended my first Ida Grove Fire Department fund-raiser barbecue 20 years ago when daughter, Sam, was a toddler. We went at the urging of fellow teacher, Jane O’Tool, who told me all about the barbecue and the fire truck rides for the kids. After eating, my daughter and I must have ridden all of the three fire trucks a couple times each. It was great fun for a first grader and her dad. But, much has changed, now that my daughter is 25 years old and eyeing a family of her own. More for consideration, then, is how much has advanced since 44-year veteran Don Wunschel joined the department in 1972. Wunschel, who is currently IGFD safety officer, recalls his own children, Kriss, 48, Matt, 47, and Donavon, 44, riding the trucks when they were knee-high to a grasshopper. “I really like looking out for the well-being of these young guys,” said Wunschel. “They listen when I tell them to get out of an unsafe situation.” Wunschel is well aware that many of the department’s 21 volunteers have a family that depends upon their safety. As Wunschel and I continue to talk, Fireman Rick Wonder gives kids rides in the antique fire truck while Rick’s son-in-law and Fireman Jeremie Reitz grills burgers for their department’s annual event, this year raising
Barbecue: Members of the Ida Grove Fire Department grilled burgers for the department’s annual fund-raiser Sept. 12. (Courier photo by Doug Clough) money for gear that meets National Fire Protection Agency standards. The bell ringing from the truck is familiar in neighborhoods from years past. Scott Van Dusen is Ida Grove Fire Department’s fire chief. “We’ve just ordered $18,000 worth of gear that will fit and protect our volunteers,” said Van Dusen, who has been on the force for 20 years. “City taxes will help to pay for $6,000 of it, but the balance—$12,000—will come from fund-raising.” Van Dusen is no stranger to raising funds for the department; he’s been involved in doing so for most of his tenure. The three main fund-raisers have been the stag, Halloween dance and the fall barbecue. “The stag used to be the best money-maker,” stated Van Dusen. “The barbecue has caught up to it, not just because of the crowds that come, many people dropping $100 or more into our donation box, but also due to the incredibly supportive businesses. Twenty-nine businesses donated funds, and a dozen businesses donated the food, charcoal, plates, napkins and utensils.” At last week’s event, the firemen grilled 250 hot dogs, 300 porkburgers and 500 hamburgers. Those that attended supper consumed all of that grilled fare, plus 18 gallons
of baked beans and 32 bags of potato chips. “People come for the food and stay for the fire truck rides and social event,” said Van Dusen. This year, the Mercy Medical helicopter was on site for a tour. In the past, the department has demonstrated equipment—such as the lifesaving Jaws-of-Life—to show how important community giving is to their efforts. Still, it’s the volunteers that make the department what it is, said long-timer Wunschel. “We are at 21 members at this time. We would really like to have 25 to 28.” The city allows 30, which Wunschel said is a good goal. And, to this end, the department has a junior firefighter program, which, to no surprise, is an extension of the family fortress fostered by the department. Members include Blake and Tyler Anderson, sons of Fireman (retired) Fred Anderson; Dakota Porter, daughter of Fireman Mike Porter, and Anna Van Dusen, daughter of Fire Chief Van Dusen. Firemen Nate Homan and Ryan Jacobson both began as junior firemen. “We are very lucky,” concluded Chief Van Dusen. “When we go to businesses for support…when we ask the community to back us up…we get their backing, no questions asked. People know us, and we know them, and we are there for each other.”

While you probably take your dog for a walk every once in a while or on weekends, you may have overlooked how beneficial daily exercise can be to your pet’s heath: • Walking the dog is sometimes regarded as a nasty chore, but, remember, you get exercise, too, which is good for both of your hearts. • Regular walks help build confidence and trust, so your pet can be comfortable around other people, animals and environments. • Barking and whining are signs that your pet wants and needs attention from you. Scheduled walks will help keep both of you entertained. • Knocking over furniture or jumping on people are signs of pent-up energy, and your pet needs a 20-minute walk each
day to release excess energy and curb hyperactive behaviors. • Regular walks can help both of your digestive systems and relieve constipation. • An overweight pet is not a healthy pet. Watch your pet’s diet and always provide fresh water to keep your best friend in tip-top shape. • Keep your pet healthy and happy by going for a walk each day. Best of all, it gets both of you out of the house and helps grow the bond you have with Spot, Fido, Hank or Champ. Ready to enjoy this lovely fall weather with your four-legged friend? Grab his or her leash and get moving.

Iowa State Fair recognizes three Ida Century Farms Three Ida County farms were recognized as Century Farms Aug. 18 during the 2016 Century and Heritage Farms Award program at the Iowa State Fair. Ida County farms recognized were the Jane E. Bair farm at 2950 Pioneer Ave., rural Arthur; the Clement Jr. and Kathleen Wessling farm in rural Danbury; and the Robert C. Crane farm, west of Ida Grove. Since the land of Iowa was
opened up to settlers in 1833, agriculture has been the heart of Iowa. The family farm represents the traditions and heritage upon which the state was built. Today, those individuals and families, who followed in the footsteps of their ancestors, continue to produce crops and livestock on that same land. The Century Farm Program recognizes and honors those individuals who have owned the
farmland for 100 years or more. The program began in 1976 as part of the bicentennial celebration, when more than 5,000 certi icates and farm markers were distributed across Iowa at local events. The Iowa Department of Agriculture and the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, with the endorsement of the Iowa American Revolution Bicentennial Commission, sponsor the program.
Paige Feddersen crowned Miss Poppy for winning essay Paige Feddersen, daughter of Kevin and Kristy Feddersen of Battle Creek, earned the title of Anthon’s Miss Poppy for her winning essay about the poppy. McNiff Unit 389 of the American Legion Auxiliary sponsored the contest. Feddersen and the other fourth grade contestants from MV-A-O researched and wrote stories about the poppy and were judged for their entries. The contestants received certi icates and prizes and rode in the Anthon Kids’ Day parade. Feddersen’s winning entry entitled “The History and Importance of the Red Poppy Flower” follows: “The poppy is important. It is
recognized by most people. The poppy symbolizes the sacri ice of many soldiers who lost their lives in the wars. In World War I, the bare dirt of the battle ield could not grow plants, but it started to grow red poppies like the color of blood. This battle ield was called Flanders Field. Lt. Col. John McCray wrote a poem called “In Flanders Fields.” It tells about how the soldiers lived and died on the ield. It also tells about how the poppies marked the spots where the soldiers died. They call the poppy the miracle lower, because of how special it is to our country. Moina Michael brought us the miracle lower. In November, 1918, Michaels pur-
chased whatever poppies she could ind and passed them out to the people, asking to remember the fallen soldiers. She also wrote an ending to McCrae’s poem. Moina made sure the poppy was the national symbol of sacri ice. The American Legion Auxiliary gives poppies to people in return for a donation. The money they receive goes to help the veterans and their families. Both of my great-grandpas fought in wars. My grandma and I are also members of the American Legion Auxiliary. I have been a member for several years. It is important to help out veterans and their families who served and gave their lives for our freedom.”

SPORTS Over me field goal keeps Falcons out of the win column Tri-Center kicked a 21-yard ield goal in overtime to defeat O-A/BC-IG 17-14 in district football in Neola Friday. The Falcons had the ball after Tri-Center in the overtime period, but lost the ball on an interception on a third down play. The loss dropped the Falcons to 0-4 and to 0-2 in district play. “Going into the game we viewed this as a game we had a good chance to win because the teams were evenly matched,” noted Falcon coach Larry Allen. “It was very similar to the Ridge View game where we were within one play of winning or of having a chance to win. We were that close; we just can’t seem to get over the hump.” Allen noted his club had the advantage in the irst half. “We got off to a great start in the irst half; especially in the irst quarter,” said Allen. “We dominated on both sides of the ball; we just didn’t have a lot of points to show for it. “The kids played hard and they played with some excitement and enthusiasm. That was a big plus for us.” O-A/BC-IG went up 8-0 at the 3:13 mark of the irst quarter when Chase Devitt, who inished the game with 102 yards rushing, scored on a two-yard run. The two-point pass from Kaden Ladwig to Quintin Cranston was good. The 8-0 lead held up until early in the third quarter when TriCenter got on the board thanks to a two-yard run and PAT kick. Tri-Center went up 14-8 at the 11:18 mark of the fourth quarter on a 15-yard run and PAT kick. Allen noted his club helped contribute to the opponent’s scores. “We had a breakdown defensively that gave them a long run and we couldn’t convert a fourth down and one that gave them a short ield to work with.” The Falcons tied the game at 14-14 with 4:09 to play in the game on Devitt’s one-yard carry. The try for two-points failed. Allen noted the Falcon defense set the stage for the overtime showdown. “We had a great defensive stand at the end of the fourth quarter. They had irst and goal inside the ive-yard line, but we forced a fumble to preserve the tie.
Conference volleyball tournament Pool play in the Western Valley Conference volleyball tournament gets underway this Saturday at 9 a.m. in Mapleton and Sloan. O-A/BC-IG and Ridge View will compete in pool play in Mapleton starting at 9 a.m. The top two teams from both pools will advance to the tournament inals in Sloan next Monday, Sept. 26 at 6 p.m. Thechampionshiproundstartswith the semi inals at 6 p.m. on two nets. The consolation and championship round will follow the semi inals and will be played on one net.
“In the overtime we made them kick a ield goal, which is what you want to do, but then we threw the interception on a third down play to end the game.” This week the Falcons’ will host Logan-Magnolia (3-1/2-0). “Lo-Ma always has a good team,” noted Allen. “They aren’t a real big team, but they really get after you. That will be our challenge this week. We’ll have to step up and answer the bell.” Stats OABCIG TC First downs 9 6 Rushes/yds. 38-86 41-220 Pass yds. 84 1 Pass/Att/Int 9-20-1 1-4-0 Total yards 170 221 Fum. lost 1 3 Penalties 3-20 9-50 Punts/ave. 6-36.3 4-37.8 Scoring by quarters OABCIG 8 0 0 6 0 —14 TC 0 0 7 7 3 —17 O-A/BC-IG individual stats Rushing: Devitt (34-102, yds., 2 TD).

Raptors prevail in homecoming contest Ridge View scored 28 first half points and blanked Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn 28-0 Friday in the Raptors’ homecoming contest. The victory also went into the district football win column. “We got off to a fast start,” noted Raptor coach Jeff DeHaan. “Our offensive and defensive lines played well. The offensive line gave Tyler Wingert (quarterback) plenty of time to throw the ball and our receivers are coming into their own by making plays after the catch.” Wingert threw for 209 yards on 16 of 36 pass attempts. He threw three touchdowns and had one pass intercepted. Juan Nava caught five passes for 85 yards. Big plays and turnovers were a key factor in the Raptors’ favor. Ridge View scored six points when it recovered the ball in H-M-S’s end zone following a blocked punt and the Raptors got touchdown pass plays of 25 and 60 yards. The 25-yard touchdown pass got the Raptors on the board first. The pass from Wingert to Ryan McGuire came at the 4:50 mark of the first quarter. McGuire kicked the PAT. With 2:56 seconds left in the first quarter Wingert connected with Colton Wunschel for a fouryard scoring aerial. The PAT kick was blocked. The scoring drive covered 56 yards following Jaxon Franken’s recovery of an H-M-S fumble at the Raptor 44. Early in the second quarter HM-S had a high snap on a punt attempt. Ridge View’s Jake Kliegl recovered the ball at the H-M-S seven-yard line. The Raptors were unable to take advantage of the short field as H-M-S intercepted a Raptor pass in the end zone on Ridge View’s first play from scrimmage following the fumble recovery. With 5:01 on the second quar-
ter clock, Wingert found Nava on a 60-yard touchdown pass. McGuire’s PAT kick made the score 20-0 in favor of Ridge View. H-M-S was unable to handle the ensuing kickoff, which allowed Ridge View’s Jake Mitchell to recover the ball at the H-M-S 28-yard line. The Raptors didn’t have much success in moving the ball and had to turn the ball over to H-M-S on downs at the H-M-S 22-yard line. The Raptors’ final score of the game came when Jake Kliegl blocked a H-M-S punt from inside the H-M-S 10-yard line. Mitchell recovered the ball in the end zone for six points. Gus Leonard ran for the two-point conversion after catching a short pass from Wingert to lift the Raptors to a 28-0 lead with two minutes to play before halftime. In the final minute of the third quarter, Ridge View marched the ball to the H-M-S 11-yard line, but lost the ball on downs. Ridge View recorded its first shutout of the season to lower its points per game allowed to eight. “Defensively, anytime you can blank a team you are doing a good job. We knew H-M-S likes to run the ball and our defense did a nice job of containing them,” said DeHaan. H-M-S ran for 110 yards on 39 carries, which is 2.8 yards per carry. Ridge View improved to 3-1 overall and to 2-0 in district play. H-M-S is winless on the season. This Friday the Raptors travel to Fort Dodge to play St. Edmond’s (1-3/0-2). DeHaan noted St. Edmond’s is off to a slow start. “I thought they might have a better record by now, but I don’t about any injuries they may have had. I do know they like to run the ball similar to the teams we’ve played

In May of this year, a farmer in southeast Iowa was pinned by a piece of machinery and killed; later that month, an eastern Iowa man was killed when his tractor was struck by a semi. In June, a teenage farm girl died in an ATV incident. These are just a few of the tragedies that will become Iowa’s farm fatality statistics. This year, the theme for National Farm Safety and Health Week is “Farm Safety…A Legacy to be Proud of” and is held Sept. 18 to 24. Statistics from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) show that the fatality rate for farmers and farm workers is about 20 deaths per 100,000 workers. Compare this to the overall rate of occupational fatalities in the US (3.4 per 100,000 workers) and it becomes clear that we have a problem with our agricultural legacy. Research conducted in New York found that, within ive years of a farm fatality, nearly three quarters of the families who operated the farms where the incidents occurred no longer operated them, and nearly half

a farm’s legacy, so do the less catastrophic injuries and diseases that tend to come with farm work. If there is one primary operator, the pro it loss associated with time lost to recover from an injury can be a major setback. And don’t forget the loss of quality, and sometimes length, of life associated with hearing loss, chronic lung disease, or skin cancer—all prevalent conditions in agricultural workers. The good news is that farm injuries, illnesses, and fatalities are almost always preventable. Engineered solutions on tractors, including ROPS as well as shielding and guarding of moving parts, reduce loss of life and limbs. Having a safety plan, as any business should, can do a lot to identify and reduce hazards, encourage safe work practices, and reduce injuries. Iowa’s farmers are the foundation of our most important economic industry, but the high rates of injuries, illnesses, and fatalities that come with farming put the legacy of agriculture at risk.

no longer lived on the farms at all. These numbers are startling, and should remind us all that a fatality in a farming family can eliminate the legacy of that farm all together. Tractors, particularly tractor rollovers, remain the leading cause of injury and fatalities on farms, in Iowa and nationwide. Nearly half of all tractors currently in operation do not have a rollover protective structure (ROPS), a requirement for any tractor manufactured after 1985. The use of a ROPS, with a fastened seatbelt, virtually eliminates the risk of a fatality if the tractor rolls over. Retro itting a tractor requires some investment of time and money, but if it prevents a fatality, there is little question that it’s worthwhile. Tractors aren’t the only farm hazard, as recent fatalities in grain bins and manure pits in Iowa show. As our grain storage capabilities increase, and livestock production becomes more and more ef icient, the hazards to workers can also increase. While fatalities clearly affect

Horn Memorial Hospital adds 3D mammography Horn Memorial Hospital announced that it is the latest health care facility to add new state-of-the-art breast imaging technology called 3D breast tomosynthesis for better breast cancer detection. The facility’s True Breast Tomosynthesis solution takes aim at improving breast cancer detection, reducing false-positive indings and cutting patient callbacks. True Breast Tomosynthesis is 3D mammogram technology that is proven to detect breast cancer better than traditional 2D mammography alone. While standard 2D mammograms take an image of the top and bottom side of a patient’s breast, True Breast Tomosynthesis takes 25 images of the breast from many angles as the X-ray tube moves across the breast in a 50-degree arc. The images are assembled into a 3D study so doctors can see the breast tissue in ine detail. The 3D image allows them to see clearly
through breast tissue that may be overlapping, or through the tissue of women with dense breasts. They are better able to detect and diagnose small tumors and rule out abnormalities that may have looked suspicious in the patient’s 2D mammogram. “Clinical data had demonstrated that the addition of digital breast tomosynthesis to a patient’s traditional 2D digital mammogram increases detection of breast tumors, said Crystal Endrulat, radiology director. “We chose the True Breast Tomosynthesis option because it gives us wideangle image acquisition that helps our physicians see more than traditional 2D mammography alone. Dr. Eric Luebbert, HMH radiologist comments, “Early detection is the key to surviving breast cancer. When we ind tumors earlier, we’re better able to create treatment plans that are more effective. We think this technology can help us save lives.�
Dr. Luebbert said that, by reducing the distortion created by tissue overlap or dense breast tissue in 2D mammograms, physicians are better able to target the size, shape and location of a tumor. Clinical data has demonstrated that the addition of Siemens’ digital breast tomosynthesis to a patient’s traditional 2D digital mammogram increases detection of breast tumors. Radiology staff know that in clinical practice, this increased diagnostic accuracy also means fewer anxietyinducing recalls, which typically contributes to both improved patient outcomes and reduced cost. Horn Memorial installed the 3D technology to its existing Mammomat Inspiration mammography platform from Siemens. Horn’s radiology team completed special training and certi ication on the True Breast Tomosynthesis technology prior to offering the service publicly.

September is Preparedness Month in Iowa Governor Terry E. Branstad has proclaimed September as Preparedness Month in Iowa. “Unfortunately, disasters can and do happen in our state, and that is why I have proclaimed September as Preparedness Month in Iowa,” said Branstad. “I am asking Iowans to take the necessary steps to prepare themselves, their families, their places of business and their communities for any emergency.” The Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEMD), the Iowa Emergency Management Association (IEMA), the Safeguard Iowa Partnership (SIP) and the National Weather Service (NWS) sponsor preparedness month. “Disasters begin and end in our neighborhoods and home towns,” said IEMA President Doug Reed. “Local emergency managers help to ensure emergency responders in each county are ready for emergencies and disasters. It’s important that citizens take responsibility for their own preparedness as well.” During Preparedness Month, HSEMD, IEMA and SIP are urging Iowans to take simple steps to ensure they, their families, and their
places of business are prepared. Those steps are make an emergency plan, build an emergency kit and be aware of hazards in your area. For more on the three simple steps to preparedness, visit www. beready.iowa.gov. “National Preparedness Month is the perfect time for Iowans, at home and at work, to create or review their emergency plans,” said SIP Executive Director Dutch Geisinger. “The few minutes it takes to educate your employees and your families could be the difference between success and failure during a crisis situation.” National Weather Service Warning Coordination Meteorologist Kelsey Angle stresses that now is the time to develop and practice a plan before severe weather strikes.
