Farmers, area elevators ready for harvest Area elevators and ethanol plants are ready for this year’s harvest season and are anticipating it will be a better year than last season. Another week of rain and storms kept producers out of the fields much the week ending Sept. 18, according to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide, there were only 3.3 days suitable for fieldwork, but farmers in east central and southeast Iowa had over five days suitable. Activities for the week included chopping corn for silage, seed corn harvest, manure application and cutting hay. Ninety-five percent of the corn crop has reached the dent stage or beyond, three days ahead of the five-year average. Crops are maturing rapidly with 52 percent of corn at the mature stage, three days ahead of last year. There were scattered reports of corn for grain being harvested. Corn condition rated 83 percent good to excellent. Eighty-two percent of soybeans were turning color, two days ahead of last year’s pace. Fortysix percent of soybeans were dropping leaves, four days ahead of average. Soybean condition rated 81 percent good to excellent. The third cutting of alfalfa hay was 95 percent complete, two weeks ahead of last year. However, the precipitation made it difficult for some producers to make dry hay. Pasture condition rated 66 percent good to excellent. While moderate temperatures were beneficial for livestock conditions, heavy rains were causing muddy feedlots. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the report released Sept. 19, discussing current conditions. “Much of the state remains very wet, and that could delay harvest as farmers wait for fields to dry. With 52 percent of the corn crop

now mature, farmers will be anxious to start harvesting when conditions allow.” Joel DeJong, Iowa State University Extension field agronomist, says, “Most of the region has struggled to get the crop in when they normally do, but it seems it still will mostly mature at about a normal time. “Rainfall has been adequate for most, even excessive for some. It would be good if we held off on rain for a couple weeks to allow the crop to finish maturing, and then we can begin the harvest in earnest.” DeJong continued, “The latest crop report says the corn crop for northwest Iowa is good, but likely lower in yield per acre than last year. But, we have more acres of corn, so the total number of bushels will be higher. In general, I agree that the average corn yield will not be as high as last year. Soybeans will likely average close to the very good average we had last year. Of course, some neighborhoods will not be following the averages.” In regards to crop loss, DeJong has one watch-out right now. “I have observed some corn fields with stalks in them that are getting weak. I encourage producers to do the ‘push test’ in all fields and hybrids. That involves pushing 20 corn stalks to a 45-degree angle, then repeating that in five different locations in the field. If more than 10 to 15 percent kink when pushing them, they might want to put those fields onto the early harvest list to reduce the chance of loss of ears and plants before the combine runs through them.” Landus Cooperative in Ida Grove location manager Chad Lichtenberg said, “We are ready for harvest and, as in previous years, will run extended hours.” Landus will send out daily texts to farmers, letting them know their operating hours. If you

signed up in the past, you will automatically get the texts. If you haven’t signed up, visit your local Landus location or go online to www.landuscooperative.com. Landus Cooperative has 21 grain-receiving locations in its western region, including Arthur, Callender, Churdan, Dayton, Early, Farnhamville, Gowrie, Ida Grove, Lake City, Larrabee, Lohrville, Lytton, Newell, Odebolt, Paton, Rockwell City, Sac City, Somers, Sulphur Springs, Ulmer and Yetter. According to its website, Landus Cooperative has 40 grainreceiving elevators located across the membership area. More than 118,000,000 bushels of grain are handled annually. Landus has 75 million bushes of grain storage and the ability to ship grain on seven major railroads in Iowa. Landus Cooperative emphasizes building efficient shuttle-train loading systems along with highspeed receiving pits at locations. Quad County Corn Processors in Galva is ready to serve the local corn farmers this harvest season. They will have the grain receiving operating extended hours during peak harvest days to accommodate demand for unloading trucks and keeping combines moving in the fields. They will be accepting corn up to 18 percent moisture in the 25,000 bushel an hour outside dump this year. This will allow trucks to dump quickly and get back to the field. Quad County Corn Processors has 3,200,000 bushels of warehouse corn space. QCCP is an Iowa licensed grain dealer and a USDA licensed warehouse. Call Adam Todd at 712-282-4305, ext. 121, or check online at the company’s website at www.quadcounty.com for harvest hours, pricing and policies. Todd says, “Make sure you ask about how you can enhance your cash price with our bonus (continued on page 2)

Ida County Public Safety Commission discusses county activity, finances The Ida County Public Safety and Communications Commission met Sept. 20 with the following members present: Ida Grove Mayor Morris Hurd, Arthur Mayor Randy Fineran, Battle Creek Mayor Lloyd Holmes, Holstein Mayor Connie Ludvigson, Galva Mayor Stan Nading, Supervisor Bob Paulsrud, Supervisor Rhett Leonard and Ida County Sheriff Wade Harriman. The board approved the agenda with the addition of personnel following the jail portion of the meeting. Also approved were the minutes from the previous meeting. Harriman gave an update on the activities of his office from the previous month. His office has logged a total of 1,265 hours on patrol throughout the county in August. In addition, they logged an additional 37 hours on investigations. Employees used a total of 137 hours of vacation and compensation hours in August and deputies issued a total of 157 traffic contacts to motorist and served a total of 73 civil processes. Deputies also made a total of 28 arrests in August and the jail booked 30 inmates into the jail during the month. Harriman also noted that from Jan. 1 to Aug. 31, the department had made a total of 225 arrests and booked 230 inmates. In 2015, the same time period showed 100 arrests and 108 booked into the county jail. Harriman discussed a few cases of interest from the previous month. On Aug. 1, deputies arrrested an Ida Grove man on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm following an incident that occurred in Ida

Grove in July. Deputies also arrested a Battle Creek man on charges of domestic assault following an incident that occurred on Aug. 3 in Battle Creek. On Aug. 8, a woman from Holstein was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, following a search of her house in connection with the Iowa Department of Corrections. On Aug. 23, the Ida County Sheriff’s Office filed charges of sexual exploitation by a school employee against a former substitute teacher in the Maple Valley-Anthon-Oto and OdeboltArthur/Battle Creek-Ida Grove school districts. During the jail portion of the meeting, Harriman spoke briefly about medical bills emanating from past inmates who were held in the jail, including one who was held on a nationwide warrant from Lancaster County, Neb. Harriman noted that he sent seven employees to a 20-hour jail update training in Sioux City the previous week and that all employees were scheduled to receive the state mandated training this fiscal year. He also noted the State Fire Marshal was at the office on Sept. 16 and certified the jail as meeting the standards laid out in chapter 356 of the Iowa Code. Under the personnel portion of the meeting, Harriman advised the commission that he has hired Lori Gosch as a part-time communication center operator to cut down on overtime costs. He also stated that Corey Trucke has been appointed as the communication center supervisor and is doing a great job. The Ida County Board of

Supervisors received a letter from the employee union, stating they were opening up contract negotiations for a new contract. The current contract ends on June 30, 2017. During unfinished business, discussion was held on the 28E agreement between the county and cities for unified law enforcement. Harriman handed out copies of the Iowa Code that deals with unified law enforcement districts and reassured the commission that the current method used to calculate costs for each taxing entity is legal. Nading stated he felt the board of supervisors should not have three votes on the commission. It was agreed that each entity would speak to their respective city councils and come back to the October meeting prepared to discuss the agreement in more detail. In new business, Harriman told the commission that, thus far this fiscal year, the sheriff’s office has spent $3,750 on overtime pay and $7,131 on holiday pay. In addition, he stated two brand new 2017 Ford SUV explorers have been ordered from McCormick Motors at a price of $26,913 per vehicle. The office traded in a Chevy Silverado truck for $5,000, so the total cost, less trade-in allowance, will be $48,826. Harriman spoke about the possibility of his office leasing body cameras and in-car video cameras through one vendor. This would be done in a similar fashion to the leasing of the new, in-car computers for the deputies. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 19, at 7 p.m. at Holstein City Hall.

Local landowner stories help introduce Iowa’s Land Grant Legacy

Looking Back Forty years ago The Ida County Board of Supervisors has changed its strategy on the dealings with OSHA and the fines placed upon the county. The supervisors have a number of complaints about the way the fines were levied and would like to meet with OSHA representatives to see what can be worked out before a court date is set. Lisa Radke, daughter of Mrs. Elmer Radke, was crowned queen of Holstein’s homecoming in ceremonies last Thursday, while Jim Clausen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Clausen, was selected homecoming king. Thirty years ago The German phrase “Willkommen Freunde,” meaning “Welcome Friend,” was added to Holstein’s new sign at the intersection of Highway 20 and 59 last week. A small group of residents raised the money for the added lettering after the new sign was built last spring. The Ida County Board of

Supervisors learned Tuesday that no further regularly scheduled revenue sharing quarterly payments can be anticipated after the Entitlement Period 17. The board received the notice from the office of revenue sharing. The recipient account statement shows the county has only one unpaid entitlement of $22,323. Ida County Auditor Helen Wanberg said that, if funds are cut altogether, the county may have to levy for its share of the public safety program. Twenty years ago Mildred Richardson was appointed to fill the vacant council seat caused by Greg Brandt’s resignation on the Galva City Council. During the meeting, the council also discussed the water project the city is currently looking at. Engineers, members of SIMPCO and a representative from Cherokee Rural Water were on hand to discuss the project. The Galva-Holstein boys placed first in class A at the Storm Lake Cross Country Invitational on

Sept. 17. The Lady Pirates finished third. The boys’ team placed tenth overall in the competition. Aaron Thomas led the way with a ninthplace finish and a time of 19:06. Corey Modrell was four seconds behind Thomas and finished 13th. Ten years ago Galva-Holstein High School is gearing up to celebrate homecoming this week with a wide variety of activities with the theme of “Board Games.” Along with dress-up days, students will decorate the gym and showcase floats during the annual parade on Thursday before new royalty is crowned at the pep rally and coronation. The high school football team will play Woodbury Central with a dance to follow the game at the high school. The Galva-Holstein football team continues to dominate the field with another win, this time defeating Westwood 54-14 Friday. Friday’s victory pushed G-H’s record to 4-0 overall and 3-0 in district action. The Pirates are ranked fourth in class A.

. . . ready for harvest

(continued from front page) premium and accumulator contracts. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving your harvest and postharvest needs.” The team at Flint Hills Resources in Arthur wishes all area farmers a safe and abundant harvest. The Arthur plant is accepting corn up to 28 percent moisture and has extended harvest hours. You can call the company’s onsite merchandisers, Tom Hickey or Brianne Streck, at 712-3672737 for more information about hours and contract offerings. Or,

visit FHR online at www.FHR.com. First Cooperative Association general manager Jim Carlson said, “We’ve started seeing a few loads of beans come in last week. I think this week will see a bit more of a push, with more coming in steadily as the harvest season begins.” First Cooperative Association has 21 grain- receiving locations with a total storage capacity of more than 40 million bushels. First Cooperative has facilities at Alta, Aurelia, Battle Creek, Cherokee, Cleghorn, Galva, Germantown, Granville, Holstein,

Hospers, Kingsley, Larrabee, Laurens, Linn Grove, Marathon, Marcus, Meriden, Paullina, Peterson, Schaller and Webb. “The yields look very good this year. The soybeans should be good or better than last season. Right now, the corn is hard to tell, but I predict it’s going to be just as good as last year, if not better,” said Carlson. First Cooperative Association will extend its business hours during harvest. Hours will be posted at each location and may vary. Farmers may also call any location to find out its hours.

Families with land in 13 northern Iowa counties shared their family stories at the Iowa Land Grant Legacy celebration at the Clay County Fair Sept. 16. They told of generations of family owning the land, shared stories of growing up on the land and caring for it, and told of family connections to Iowa State research, education and Extension. Families attending the celebration, receiving certificates for validating their land as first-inthe-county land grant parcels, and sharing the stories of their family and the land included Larry and Bev Beckman of Odebolt. Also during the Clay County Fair, Bob Butcher of Holstein used the online digital map of land grant parcels to discover he owns land grant property. These families are the first in Iowa to know of their connection to Iowa’s Land Grant Legacy; a project initiated by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Over the summer, ISU Extension and Outreach visited the families to inform them of a special connection they have to Iowa’s land grant university, and introduce them to the project. Using a map of the northwest quadrant of Iowa dotted with red squares, ISU Extension and Outreach directed the families to locate their property, explaining that the small red squares were quarter sections of land leased and sold to fund the start of Iowa’s land grant college. The families soon learned that each owns all or part of a quarter section of land that was first leased or sold under the terms of the Morrill Act of 1862 to fund the start of Iowa State University. “Identifying the land grant parcels is an important step in understanding Iowa’s land grant legacy. And we’re pleased to honor the owners of these first parcels here in northwest Iowa,” said Cathann Kress,

(Photo submitted) Iowa State University Vice President for Extension and Outreach. “However, there’s more to Iowa’s land grant legacy than the actual acres that were granted.” At the Clay County Fair celebration, ISU Extension and Outreach introduced the families owning the first parcel of record in counties with Iowa land grant parcels, began sharing legacy stories and unveiled the Land Grant Legacy website. “What a great project, to be able to understand a little bit of how it all came together and then appreciate the history of Iowa State. There’s a lot of land in northwest Iowa that was land grant land and originally helped build the university. And of course the connections always have been to agriculture and the reason we’re so good at doing what we’re doing out here is that we’ve learned from research from Iowa State,” Northey said, noting the Extension

office’s role in disseminating information. “It’s a fun interconnected way to celebrate Iowa State Extension, celebrate our history, be proud of what we have in agriculture in general,” added Northey. The land grant parcel map at www.landgrant.iastate.edu (the map with the red dots) allows landowners to go online and explore to discover their connection to the legacy. Directions and forms available on the website make it possible for landowners to validate their ownership of land grant parcels and contribute stories of the land and the people on the land to the website. The Land Grant Legacy website, in early stages of development, will continue to expand as stories connected to the land grant legacy are added. The expectation is that stories will come from all parts of the state and from across the Iowa State campus.

Ida County unemployment rate goes up slightly According to Iowa Workforce Development Ida County’s unemployment rate ticked up slightly in August from July. In August, the county’s rate of unemployment was 2.7 percent. The July rate was 2.6 percent. In August, 3,930 people in the county were employed while 110 were unemployed. In July, 4,010 people were employed and 110 were unemployed. Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased slightly to 4.2 percent in August from

4.1 percent in July. The state’s jobless rate was 3.6 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate remained at 4.9 percent in August. “While the unemployment rate ticked up again in August, there were a few bright spots,” said Beth Townsend, Director of Iowa Workforce Development. “The total number of working Iowans also increased by 1,700 from July and 3,600 higher than a year ago. Additionally, for the third consecutive month, Iowa businesses expanded their payrolls and added

4,900 jobs, raising the total number of working Iowans. Iowa’s unemployment rate also remains 0.7 percent lower than the national rate.” The number of unemployed Iowans rose to 72,700 in August from 70,700 in July. The current estimate is 11,500 higher than the year ago level of 61,200. The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,642,300 in August. This figure was 1,700 higher than July and 3,600 higher than one year ago.

Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness caused by flu viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness and at times can lead to death. The flu usually comes on suddenly. People who have the flu often feel some or all of these symp-

toms: fever or feeling feverish/ chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headaches, fatigue and though more common in children than adults vomiting and diarrhea. Some people refuse influenza vaccination because they believe they “got the flu� after receiving the vaccine in the past. There are several reasons why this misconception persists: (1) Less than 1 percent of people who are vaccinated with the injectable vaccine develop flu-like symptoms, such as mild fever and muscle aches, after vaccination. These side effects are not the same as having influenza, but people confuse the symptoms. (2) Protective immunity doesn’t develop until one to two weeks after vaccination. Some people who get vaccinated may get influenza shortly afterward. They develop influenza because they were exposed to someone with the virus before they became immune. It is not the result of the vaccination. (3) To many people “the flu� is any illness with fever and cold symptoms. If they get any viral illness, they may blame it on the flu shot or think they got “the flu� despite being vaccinated. Influenza vaccine only protects against certain influenza viruses, not all viruses.

(4) The influenza vaccine is not 100 percent effective, especially in older persons. It is especially important to vaccinate pregnant women because of their increased risk for influenza-related complications. Vaccination can occur in any trimester, including the first. Only inactivated vaccine should be given to pregnant women. In addition, breastfeeding is not a contraindication for routine vaccination. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends annual vaccination for all people ages six months and older who do not have a contraindication to the vaccine. Persons who have experienced a severe allergic reaction to a prior dose of influenza vaccine, or who are known to have a severe allergy to a vaccine component should not be vaccinated. Vaccination should be deferred for a person with moderate or severe acute illness until his/her condition improves. While the flu vaccine is the best defense against getting influenza, it’s also important to take personal actions to help prevent the spread of illness. Remember the three Cs: Cover your coughs and sneezes; clean your hands frequently and contain germs by staying home when ill.

Like consumer choice at the pump? Don’t back blend wall bill This article was written by Rachel Gantz, Communications Director of the Renewable Fuels Association. If legislation was introduced that would prevent the latest iPhone from being sold and instead require users to return to the days of big brick phones and other technology relics, you’d be up in arms. Well, the same thing is being proposed when it comes to ethanol blends—and you still should be up in arms. In May, biofuel critics Rep. Bill Flores (R-Texas), Peter Welch (DVt.), Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Jim Costa (D-Calif.) introduced H.R. 5180, which would cap ethanol blends in the U.S. transportation pool to no more than 9.7 percent by volume. It’s a rather odd and precise number without any logic, other than it’s the percentage the oil companies want—keeping ethanol in the neat octane trimming box with which they’re comfortable. By adopting Big Oil’s biofuel limits, the bill would not just halt ethanol’s growth

in providing a more affordable, high-octane source of fuel to consumers—it would retard that progress. But ethanol already exceeds 10 percent of the fuel mix in at least 22 states, including California, Minnesota and South Dakota, where consumers have access to higher blends such as E15 and E85. Higher ethanol blends have had such rapid growth in recent years due to steady industry investment in an effort to provide for more choice at the pump. If the bill was enacted into law, all of that progress—including cleaner air, greater energy security and cheaper gasoline prices—would evaporate. And all because oil companies want to continue to monopolize the transportation sector—just as they have done for more than 100 years. The oil industry whines about a so-called blend wall even as they continue to build it themselves by denying consumer access to these higher ethanol blends. The

renewable fuel standard was intended to break the stranglehold oil companies have on the motor fuel market by forcing access. This bill would gut the RFS and send America’s energy and climate change policy back decades. On a recent conference call with reporters, the American Petroleum Institute said it plans to continue pushing the Flores/ Welch bill for action this or next year and claims support for the effort is gaining momentum. But the Renewable Fuels Association is not sitting on the sidelines. Today, we ran ads in three Capitol Hill papers, urging consumers and fellow lawmakers not to fall for the oil industry’s false “blend wall� argument. We want to inform lawmakers and consumers alike that capping ethanol blends below 10 percent will only benefit Big Oil and will leave consumers without choice at the pump. We plan to continue our education efforts and ensure that the RFS—and its numerous benefits—remain in place.

Shifting towards winter, forecasts show a likely probability of La NiĂąa conditions setting in. La NiĂąa has a pretty strong signal across the United States, however Iowa is caught in the transition zone of above normal temperatures to the south and below normal temperatures to the north. Precipitation also has a decent signal across the United States, but once again Iowa does not fall within an area one way or another. Unfortunately for Iowa, with the seeming strong tendency for the CPC outlooks to lean towards La NiĂąa conditions this winter, the CPC does not depict strong feelings one way or the other for precipitation or temperatures.

Fall and winter weather outlooks for Iowa previous historical neutral events that occurred during the fall months, temperatures have a tendency to be cooler throughout the state. On the other hand, precipitation historically does not have a strong tendency statewide and instead is a mixed bag of below and above normal levels of precipitation. Should La Niùa conditions set in, once again the strongest tendency is seen in temperatures, however this time it is for warmer temperatures throughout the state. Precipitation does not show a strong tendency, but does lean toward slightly drier conditions. While all of that is well and good, how does all of it compare with the Climate Prediction Center’s (CPC) official fall outlook? For their most recent fall outlook, temperatures nationwide show an increased chance for above normal temperatures. The precipitation outlook shows no tendency for above or below normal precipitation for much of the United States, including Iowa. Winter

The current seasonal outlooks from the Climate Prediction Center doesn’t give Iowans much direction as to how fall and winter temperate and precipitation trends will play out in the state. It all depends on the intensity of a developing La Niùa weather pattern. El Niùo or La Niùa are phenomena that exist along the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Warm sea surface temperatures that propagate eastward towards the South American coast characterize an El Niùo event. Conversely, a La Niùa event is characterized by cool sea surface temperatures off the coast of South America that propagate into the central Pacific Ocean. Fall El Niùo conditions existed through the 2015 winter and 2016 spring months, but weakened into summer and are forecast to continue into at least neutral conditions and possibly transition into La Niùa conditions through the 2016 fall months.

The number of users, treatment admissions, overdose deaths and seizures from traffickers all increased over those reported in last year’s summary. In addition, heroin was the greatest drug threat reported by 45 percent (up from 38 percent last year and 7 percent in 2007) of state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies responding to the 2016 National Drug Threat Survey, an annual survey of a representative national sample of 2,761 agencies. And while the heroin threat is particularly high in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest areas of the United States, law enforcement agencies in cities across the country report seizing larger than usual quantities of heroin. National Seizure System data shows an 80 percent increase in heroin seizures in the past five years, from 3,733 kilograms in 2011 to 6,722 kilograms in 2015. Many users of Controlled Prescription Drugs (CPDs) become addicted to opioid medications originally prescribed for a legitimate medical purpose. The reason an individual shifts from one opiate to another vary, but today’s heroin is higher in purity, less expensive and can be easier to obtain than illegal CPDs.

HOLSTEIN

The United States Drug Enforcement Administration released the 2016 National Heroin Threat Assessment Summary-Updated June 28. The report outlines the expanding public health crisis afflicting America due to the use and abuse of heroin and other opioid drugs. Some key facts: The number of people reporting current heroin use nearly tripled between 2007 (161,000) and 2014 (435,000). Deaths due to synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl and its analogues, increased 79 percent from 2013 to 2014. Deaths involving heroin more than tripled between 2010 (3,036) and 2014 (10,574) – a rate faster than other illicit drugs, New to this year’s summary is information on a recent phenomenon—fentanyl disguised as prescription pills—something allegedly responsible for the death of 19 people in Florida and California during the first quarter of 2016. Motivated by enormous profit potential, traffickers are exploiting high consumer demand for illicit prescription painkillers, tranquilizers and sedatives by producing inexpensive counterfeits containing fentanyl that can be sold on the street.

The Alternative by Fritz Groszkruger The Wall I am constantly bombarded with email forwards about the dastardly deeds and potential dangers of Islamic extremism and other foreign interlopers. A wall on the Mexican border has become the popular solution. This will supposedly protect American workers from the unfair competition of people who want to work hard. And the jihadis will not be able to get through and blow things up. The claim that “illegals” are receiving benefits that should be reserved only for citizens opens up a topic that is largely ignored but the most important of all. It could be argued that non-citizens are less deserving of someone else’s property. I contend that no one is deserving of anyone else’s property. A lot of this discussion is driven by a desire for prosperity and prosperity can only come from the fruits of our labor staying with us. Otherwise, incentive to produce is reduced or eliminated. Socialist governments fail because we can’t fight human nature. The law exists because selfishness invariably impacts other people who deserve

to keep what they’ve earned. To claim that our country is in danger because foreigners can take “our benefits” validates those benefits and those benefits are more destructive than the invaders themselves. Among the benefits at risk are all the socialistic programs that are dragging this country down. Social Security has replaced a family structure where grandparents cared for the children of their working children. The children later cared for the grandparents. It worked fine. Family has more innate incentive to care for each other than the faceless bureaucracy of government office workers. Gratitude plays a big part as well. Government drinking ages and drug laws have taught us that we are not responsible for our actions. When bad things happen because of drugs or alcohol we first say, “where did they get it” rather than, “how foolish or disrespectful.” This leads to further calls to replace self-respect and respect for others with state mandates. State mandates don’t inspire love and respect, they produce defiance, black markets, crime and skyrocketing costs. If our

country’s laws merely protected our property rather than trying (unsuccessfully) to manage, improve, insure, incentivize, equalize, and coddle our lives then a much smaller government could make it impossible for terrorists or welfare cheats to survive here. And they would either return home or become contributing members of society. A military that defends our borders instead of the rest of the world could make the border a filter, not a wall that excludes valuable contributors along with the ones we should keep out. It would also keep that military from creating more disasters around the world that come to haunt us later. Build the wall for a bandaid if you’ve given up on our republic. Or eliminate theft from our government’s duties in order to solve domestic problems and keep us safe from invaders. A wall might keep out a few criminals. But our welfare state produces them right here at a much higher rate. Comments on this article are welcome as a letter to the paper or to me at 4selfgovernment@ gmail.com.

Program helps caregivers plan long-term financial security As the state’s older population continues to increase, many Iowans eventually will be providing some level of care for an elderly parent or relative. Although taking on that caregiving role may have an emotional benefit, it also may have a negative financial impact, if the caregiver has to take time off from paid work or quit working altogether. That’s why Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is piloting “Finances of Caregiving,” a program to help Iowans protect their own long-term financial security as they plan for taking on a caregiving role. According to IowaAging.gov, about 350,000 Iowans are informal family caregivers. “Providing care does not always mean that the person lives with you,” said Brenda Schmitt, a human sciences specialist in family finance with ISU Extension and Outreach. “It may mean that you provide transportation or other services for someone who still lives in his or her own home. For most working Iowans, this requires flexible work schedules or using personal leave days, sometimes without pay,” Schmitt said. “When making the decision whether to leave work or reduce your work hours to become a caregiver for an aging parent or other relative in need of constant care, you have several areas to consider. How will it affect your current spending plan? How will it affect your retirement? Losing a couple years of contributions when you’re near retirement may

not make a big difference in your account balance. But, the longer you have until you plan to retire, the greater the impact on your retirement savings,” Schmitt said. Caregiving has financial risks, said Suzanne Bartholomae, a family finance state Extension specialist and adjunct associate professor in human development and family studies. “Family caregivers absorb many costs and may have reduced income and retirement savings as a result of their caregiving responsibilities. One research study found that caregivers spent an average of $8,000 of their own money on long-term care-related expenses. Iowa caregivers can protect their own financial security through planning and understanding their options,” Bartholomae said. That’s where “Finances of Caregiving” comes in. ISU Extension and Outreach started with an earlier curriculum – “What Every Adult Child Should Know,” developed by Celia R Hayhoe and the National Endowment for Financial Education – and adapted and updated it for use in Iowa. The five-week program involves faceto-face group workshops combined with learning online. In the first lesson, participants begin to document their own financial situation. They also take a look at the finances of the person for whom they are or will be providing care, to see what resources might be available to pay for that care. Next, participants begin to organize legal documents for the

person receiving care, so that, as the caregiver, they can make necessary financial and medical decisions. They also can lay the groundwork to be paid for providing care, if resources are available. As the program continues, participants examine the financial implications of caregiving that specifically will affect their retirement. In addition, they learn about communication techniques they can use with their families when discussing these difficult issues. “Some people think they can’t get it all done, but you work at your own pace,” Schmitt said. Another round of “Finances of Caregiving” pilots will begin this fall and Bartholomae expects pilots to continue through 2017. This is an example of research in action, she said. ISU Extension and Outreach specialists will be evaluating the pilots as they progress to determine the most effective way to make the program available statewide. “Family members are a key partner in the long-term care of older adults. They often provide care support and services when no formal service is available. Care and support provided by family members is essential to maintaining the health and well-being of Iowa families and communities,” Bartholomae said. For more information about “Finances of Caregiving,” contact any ISU Extension and Outreach county office to get in touch with a human sciences specialist in family finance.

The Holstein Advance

Wednesday, September 28, 2016

Message Now-a-days we write our column on Fridays. We had rain this past Friday. Not much, but it did rain. We should be about okay on moisture for the year. We are a bit slow on auctions at this time. We do have homes in Ida Grove and Anthon coming up for auction in Oct. and Nov. More on these as the dates near. While on houses, we do wish that someone in the Holstein area would build some living units – apartments or reasonably priced homes. We are growing and desperately need housing that the general working public can afford. We do have a lot going on in Holstein. Our south side of town project is nearing completion. The Highway 20 thing will go into 2017, and VT is growing. So, we have employment – we just need some place for these employees to

live. Your writer made it to the Spencer/Clay Co. Fair. Of course, it poured rain all the way up, all the time there, and all the way home. Our favorite granddaughter showed hogs there this year and did well as usual. The Fair does attract an awful lot of people. At our local school, we understand that the volleyball girls are doing quite well. We know that the football team has lost only one game to Alta-Aurelia. The team played at St. Edmond of Ft. Dodge Friday night. Your writer had star grandson playing – Ryan McGuire. Should have gone, but Ft. Dodge is still 80 miles. Obviously, most of you know that your writer is quite old. One of our high school classmates was Elizabeth Obrecht Schmidt. Liz, of course, had a brother, younger,

whose name is Norton. Norton and Eunice and son, Tom, built and lived in the home now occupied by the Dennis Bubke family. In the late ‘40’s, when Liz and your writer graduated from H.H.S., we only had one bank in Holstein – the Holstein State Bank - and Liz’s father, Clarence Obrecht, and mother, Mable DeWolf Obrecht, owned and ran the bank. Amazing that we only had one bank where we now have four. We did all survive. No other news except to remind all of you that you should watch the two weird candidates for president of the United States debate Monday night. After all, one of them will undoubtedly be our next president. That’s all for this week. More next. Jim McGuire

Mod podge: Ten ladies participated in a mod podge canvas class at The Meeting Place in Galva on Sept. 20. Ceil Triggs of Storm Lake talked about fresh flowers, which flowers kept their color best, how to cut and arrange flowers on a canvas, unique ways to embellish the décor using buttons and beads and different ways to mod podge flowers for a long lasting canvas display. Participants went home with extra mod podge and a paintbrush to give their one-of-a-kind canvases a couple more coats of mod podge to preserve the flowers. (Photo submitted)

Rosemary Clausen Center replaces opening night performance Cake decorating: Jackie Meyer of Holstein taught a beginner cake decorating class at The Meeting Place in Galva on Sept. 12. Twenty-one ladies learned about cake pans, decorating bags, couplers and tips, food coloring basics, cake boards, frosting recipe tips, flower nails and wooden dowels, baking cakes, cooling times, where to purchase supplies, finding ideas online and more. Meyer shared a slide show of cakes she has made over the past 30 years, demonstrated how to frost a cake, create edges, make roses, drop flowers and leaves and showed how to write on cakes. Participants were able to frost several demonstration cakes, decorate them, trace words on sheets, practice making flowers and more. (Photo submitted)

The Redhead Express will perform at the Rosemary Clausen Center in Holstein on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. This is a change in the original programming for the season that came about when the Willis Clan failed to honor their performance commitment just three weeks before their show. Redhead Express is a family group of nine, originally from Alaska but now based in Nashville after a two year stop in Branson, where they performed mostly at the Dutton Theatre. While the Redheads are associated with country music, their style lends to so much more, and their

unique sound, melodies and tight harmonies have made them one of the country’s most sought-after touring shows. It is often said that when one door closes, another opens. “Interestingly enough, both the Redhead Express and the Duttons performed with us in our first year, the 2010-11 season,” said Ken Buell, the Clausen Center ticket manager. “The Redhead Express show was a huge success, and we have wanted to bring them back ever since then. This will give us that opportunity, and we know that this will be an extremely popular performance. It will be a great way to kick off

State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald announced that many Clay County Fairgoers were lucky this year as they discovered their lost treasures. “The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt and College Savings Iowa booth had another successful year at the Clay County Fair,” Fitzgerald said. “Over 1,200 claims of unclaimed property were discovered, totaling over $400,000 with the largest treasure found being $38,150.00.” The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt program has returned more than $216 million in unclaimed property to more than 504,000 people since Fitzgerald created it in 1983. Unclaimed property refers to money and other assets held by financial institutions or companies that have lost contact with the property’s owner for a specific period of time. State law requires these institutions and companies to annually report and deliver unclaimed property to the state treasurer’s office, where it is held until the owner or heir of the property is found. Common forms of unclaimed property include savings or checking accounts, stocks, uncashed checks, life insurance policies, utility security deposits and safe deposit box contents. Go to GreatIowaTreasureHunt.gov to search for your treasure today.

Sports

Raptors stay in tie for district lead Ridge View defeated Fort Dodge St. Edmond 21-7 in district football Friday. The Raptors handed the Gaels just their fourth home loss in 10 years. “This was a big road win for us and huge in the district,” noted Raptor coach Jeff DeHaan. “Right now our kids are holding the right cards in the district. Now we need to keep getting better each week and keep winning. If we do that good things will come our way after week nine.” Friday’s win kept Ridge View’s district mark unblemished at 3-0, which equals Algona Garrigan, which is also 3-0 in the district.

Ridge View and Garrigan are the only two unbeaten teams in the district nearing the midpoint of the district campaign. Ridge View got on the board first thanks to a 15-yard run by quarterback Tyler Wingert in the first quarter. Ryan McGuire added the PAT. The final minute of the second half produced half of the total scoring in the contest. St. Edmond scored on a five-yard carry and PAT with one minute and 10 seconds to play before halftime. Ridge View’s Caden Wandrey returned the ensuing kickoff to midfield. From there the Rap-

tors worked the ball down field to score on a five-yard pass from Wingert to Wandrey with nine ticks left on the clock. McGuire booted the PAT to lift the Raptors to a 14-7 edge at halftime. The game was scoreless in the third quarter. Wingert gave the Raptors more breathing room in the fourth quarter on a 25-yard run to the end zone. McGuire kicked the PAT to make the final score 21-7. “The difference in this game was our defense,” noted DeHaan. “Our defense has been playing very well. Our first team has only given up two touchdowns in the last four weeks. “The offense has also played well. It helps to be two-dimensional. We can run and throw the ball well.” Ridge View had 265 total yards on 150 yards rushing and 115 yards passing. Wingert accounted for all of the passing yards and 78 of the rushing yards. Jake Mitchell caught four passes for 68 yards. All of St. Edmonds offense came on 202 yards rushing. Ridge View ran 52 plays during the game while St. Edmond ran 56 plays. DeHaan said the St. Edmond game was good preparation for this week’s game against Sioux Central (2-3/1-2) in Sioux Rapids. “Sioux Central is very similar to St. Edmond in what they run

offensively,” said DeHaan. “They run the wing T and hurry to the line and snap the ball quickly. Our preparation this week won’t change much from last week. What we saw at St. Edmond is what we will see at Sioux Central. “We just need to keep getting better and work on the little things. We are getting a little sloppy on some things. This week we’ll go back to working on the little things.” Stats RV SE First downs 13 10 Rushes/yds. 33-150 52-202 Pass yds. 115 0 Pass/Att/Int 8-19-1 0-4-0 Total yards 265 202 Fum. lost 0 0 Penalties 7-70 6-41 Punts/ave. 2-29.1 6-37.0 Scoring by quarters RV 7 7 0 7 —21 St. Ed 0 7 0 0 —7 Ridge View individual stats Passing: Wingert (8-19-1, 115 yds., 1 TD).

Ridge View ran its WVC record to 5-1 and its season record to 10-5 with a 3-1 conference decision over Westwood in Sloan Sept. 20. Game scores were 2522, 25-14, 18-25, 25-19. Coach Monica Bloyer said the Westwood match was the Raptors’ best performance of the season. “This was, by far, the best we have played as a team all season,” said Bloyer. “Our blocking and defense were outstanding. The net play was unreal by both teams. We run a three middle rotation with Hallie Mentzer, Gracie Chance and Harlee Wagoner. All three of them worked hard to

It made it difficult for either team to get the ball across the net and, if they did, the defenses were there to pick it up.” The Raptors’ defense blocked 32 attacks by the Rebels. Hallie Mentzer accounted for 11 of the stops. “Maddie Mitchell also had an amazing night in the back court with 35 digs. She covers a lot of ground and fills every hole for us,” noted Bloyer.
