Ridge View High School gym nears completion The Ridge View High School recently updated the gym floor and construction should be completed this week. Once the floor is finished and students are able to use it, there will be rules and regulations to be followed. High school students are to

continue to use the stage to get to shop and physical education classes. The administration asks that students not cut through the gym. No bare feet and no street shoes will be allowed on the floor. Students will need to bring a separate pair of shoes for physical

education and extracurricular activities. There will no longer be an open gym prior to the start of the school day. If athletic coaches want students to use the gym, they will need to pre-arrange the open gym and supervise it.

Ida County Fair Board sets storage date The Ida County Fair Board met Aug. 14 with president Kevin Weber calling the meeting to order. Those in attendance were Dan and Peggy Gebers, Becky Miller, Keri Weber and Matt Grell. Keri Weber gave the secretary’s report, which was approved as given. Miller gave the treasurer’s report and the status of various accounts and outstanding bills. All vendor money has been turned in along with all of the ticket sale money. The treasurer’s re-

port was approved. Discussion was held regarding the bank note on the new pen of three building. After discussion, the board approved making a payment on the note and Kevin Weber will stop at the bank to sign any necessary papers to finalize the construction note. Danny Gebers gave an update on the status of the new gates for the pen of three building. Since the manufacturer determined he did not like the quality of his product, he has taken the gates back and new gates are being

built. Gebers will keep in contact with him on when the arrival of the gates will be and we will pay for the gates at that time. A motion was approved to pay Kevin Weber for the two tractor pulls. A motion was also approved to give the top 4-H ticket seller an additional $100. A motion was approved to pay J.R. Miller $300 for the installation of our new swing set.

The sixth annual Ida County Pink Walk, Run or Jog is this Saturday, Oct. 8, with check-in starting at 8 a.m. in the Horn Memorial Hospital conference room. Registration is $15 and includes a free grab bag gift and refreshments. Registrations and grab bag gifts are available at Horn Memorial Hospital from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the registration desk. The walk begins at 9 a.m. on the Ida Grove Pleasant Valley Trail. Entrants can sign up for a mammography and survivor prize drawing. Check out the bake sale, 10th Cup Shop and Horn Gift Shop. Pink ribbons will be available to be placed on the walking trail “Bridge of HOPE” (over the Maple River). Proceeds will be donated to Horn Memorial Hospital for breast cancer awareness programs. According to Breastcancer.org statistics, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and the second most common cancer overall. One in eight (12.4 percent) women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. In 2016, an estimated 246,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women along with 61,000 new cases of noninvasive (in situ) breast cancer. Jo Hayes, BSN, RN, Chief Nursing Officer at Horn Memorial Hospital, says early detection can be the key that determines treatment and outcome. Hayes, a breast cancer survivor, says early detection through regular mammograms led to her diagnosis of noninvasive high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). “It was in 2004 that I was diagnosed with high-grade DCIS. Based on a mammogram finding, I went in for a biopsy, my second one. I had had a biopsy a few years earlier that came back benign, so I thought this one would, too. I had scant family history of breast cancer and few noted risk factors. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I was told it was a concerning

result. “There is some controversy today about over-treatment of DCIS; many factors need to be considered. Information is power; with any diagnosis, you learn as much as you can about it, and you seek advice from healthcare professionals you trust; my family physician, radiologist, general surgeon and plastic surgeon all provided informed advice; family and friends provided extremely positive support for whatever decision I made. “After a more extensive biopsy showed additional involvement, I made the decision to have both breasts removed with reconstruction done at the same time. This is a very individual decision; for me, it was the option I could live with going forward. I would not have

to worry about how often I would need to have a mammogram to see if there was invasive disease or spread to the other breast. I was fortunate to have surgery cure my disease; I did not need further medication, radiation or chemotherapy. There are many types of breast cancer, and some women don’t have that chance; they are faced with an entirely different experience.” Hayes urges women to get their mammograms, visit with their healthcare provider and do self-exams. “The earlier you find a problem, the better the chance of an optimal outcome. Early detection can be the key. I knew by following recommended preventative medicine, I had done everything I could to increase my odds to prevent cancer or, if discovered, to treat it early.”

Grant fund-raiser: The Ida County Historical Society will hold a fund-raiser Saturday, Oct. 15, from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at the Grant Center School in Moorehead Park in conjunction with the Ida County Conservation Halloween Hike. Money raised will go toward defraying the $4,000 cost of replacing floor joists and beams under the building that were damaged when flood waters surrounded the school in the 2013 Memorial Day flood.

Historical society holding fund-raiser for venerable country school building The Ida County Historical Society will hold a fund-raiser Saturday, Oct. 15, from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at the Grant Center School in Moorehead Park in conjunction with the Ida County Conservation Halloween Hike. “We are inviting the trick-ortreaters to stop at the school and we also want current and past fourth grade students to bring their parents out to tour the school,” said Sharon Wellendorf. “The purpose of the fund-raiser is to cover costs associated with repairing the joists and beams under the building.”

see that the floor by the door had dropped a good three-inches and the floor near the washbasins had dropped four inches. This summer we discovered the joists and beams were rotten underneath the school and that it wasn’t going to be safe to hold country school classes this fall if we didn’t do repairs.” “Cost to repair the floor totaled $4,000,” said Dale Wellendorf. “We hired three individuals from Battle Creek to do the repairs. They cut two holes in the foundation of the building, crawled on their backs and discovered the

“When the school was moved out to the park in December 1978, the whole foundation was sealed tight allowing no air movement,” said Dale Wellendorf. “During the Memorial Day flood in 2013, flood waters surrounded the school. When the waters receded we had a lot of mud and silt to scrape off the floors. The lack of air movement under the building and the flooding led to the deterioration of the beams and joists.” According to the Wellendorfs, Ray Kacmarynski opened a fourfoot section of floor in the entryway and that’s when the society discovered the school building was in jeopardy as the center beam and many floor joists had rotted. Sharon said, “Earlier this spring we discovered the floor was in major peril of failing. We could

main beam down the center of the building and many joists were full of dry rot. They hauled all their tools and the wood through the two holes, replaced the damaged areas and then jacked the building back up. All of the work had to be done on their backs in very close quarters.” Sharon said, “The Ida County Historical Society has very little money to maintain or repair the seven buildings (country school, pioneer log cabin, Stagecoach Inn, barn and tool shed, Moorehead House and the Carriage House) we are responsible for. We get some money from the Ida County Board of Supervisors and some from donations. It’s barely enough to cover the taxes, utility bills and insurance. The City of Ida Grove has helped us out by no longer charging us for water and sewer

at the Moorehead House and Carriage House.” Sharon applied for and received a Thrivent Insurance grant. This seed money can be used for fund-raisers advertising and food at fund-raisers. In August, the historical society held a grill out at Ida Grove Food Pride to raise funds for the schoolhouse. “Ironically, the young men who did the repairs on the school all attended country school in the past. In addition to doing the repairs, these young men also installed two solar foundation vents that close when the temperature drops to 40 degrees and then opens when the temperatures hit the 60/70s,” said Dale. According to the Wellendorfs, the Ida County Historical Society has 12-15 active participants and 40 individuals who pay dues. The average age of members is 70. “We need more people to get involved with the historical society. If people are interested in volunteering or donating funds for the school, they can call us or send donations to Ida County Historical Society in care of Dale Wellendorf, 500 Barnes St., Ida Grove, Iowa 51445,” said Sharon. The Grant Center School opened on Sept. 27, 1884 and was located in the northeast corner of Section 11, Grant Township. In 1892, it was moved two miles south and two miles west in the southeast corner of Section 16 Grant Township. In the ‘50s the school was closed and sat idle until 1978 when Mrs. and Mrs. Warren Lindbergh gave the building to the Ida County Historical Society. The school was moved to its present location at Moorehead Park on Dec. 19, 1978. In 1982, the first old-fashioned country school was held in the schoolhouse, a tradition that continues today.

Properly identifying patients is the first step in patient safety in any healthcare facility. Throughout the national healthcare industry, the improper identification of patients has resulted in medication errors, transfusion and testing errors and wrong-person procedures. Accurately identifying patients in healthcare facilities also reduces medical identity theft and insurance fraud. Horn Memorial Hospital takes patient safety very seriously and has many systems in place to make sure that patients are properly identified from the point of admission to the time they are discharged. The first opportunity to properly identify a patient is during the admission process. “If you are a patient age 16 years or older, you will be asked to present photo identification during the admission process,” explains Carrie Arens, Horn Memorial Hospital revenue cycle director. “If you do not have photo identification with you, we will continue with the admission process and you will be asked to bring photo identification with you to your next visit.” For patients unable to admit

themselves, a family member will be asked to provide the patient’s photo identification and all other information required at admission. Acceptable forms of photo identification include a state driver’s license, state identification card, tribal identification card, United States uniformed service identification card, a Passport or a Permanent Resident Card (Green Card). In addition to a photo, the identification card should include your first and last name, middle initial, and date of birth. Any Iowa resident may request a photo identification card at the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) service center; there is no age limit to apply for the card. Applicants will be asked to provide proof of name, identity and United States citizenship, as well as date of birth and social security number. Once you have been properly identified during the admission process, the admitting staff will place an armband on your wrist. This armband includes unique patient identifying information such as: your name and date of birth, your admitting physician’s

name, your unique medical record number and the date of service. The next step of proper patient identification occurs every time you come in contact with hospital personnel. The staff of Horn Memorial will ask your name and date of birth before administering any medical service or procedure and before administering medications or blood products. “We know that this process may seem cumbersome and unnecessary for a small town hospital, where we know so many of our patients,” says Arens. “However, the procedures are standard practices in all medical facilities throughout the country. The systems are in place to protect all patients and we train our staff to follow the steps with each and every person.” “When you enter our hospital for services, be prepared to present your personal identification and be patient with our staff when they verify your identity throughout your care in our facility,” said Arens. “We strive to provide high quality, compassionate health care to all of our patients. Patient safety is our highest priority.”

State parks peak season winding down Another busy year in Iowa’s state parks will be coming to an end and soon staff will be preparing for the first freezing temperatures of the fall. State parks will begin winterizing their facilities in mid-October, including shutting off water in the campgrounds and closing shower houses. Once the water is turned off, the campground dump station is also closed. Campers can check the status of water availability in a particular park by going to iowadnr.gov/ Places-to-Go/State-Parks-RecAreas/Closure-Information. The page is updated regularly by park staff. If campers have any questions about water or other facilities during the time of their stay, they should contact the park directly. “We have a number of fall campers who visit our parks after the water is off and they will need to use the RV dump facilities at Iowa rest areas to dump their trailers or motor homes,” said Todd Coffelt, chief of State Parks for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Iowa state park campgrounds are open all year long. A list of rest areas with RV facilities is available at iowadot.gov/maintenance/restareas.html Your online source for public notices in Iowa

Looking Back fiscal year. In Holstein, city clerk Dave Ehler has designated a good share of its federal money to the senior citizens group and the taxi service. The rest went into a capital project fund for a future community building. To date, that fund is at $90,000. Curt Ehlers, 18, son of Darrell and Jeanette Ehlers of Holstein will attend National 4-H Congress as the state 4-H agriculture award winner in Chicago Dec. 6-11. Ehlers is an active 4-Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;er on both the county and state levels. He served on Ida County Council for two years and is serving his third year on the county 4-H youth committee. He was recently selected to serve his second term on state 4-H council. Twenty years ago The Ida County Board of Supervisors approved the petitions for adoption of Ag Area number two and Ag Area number three at its meeting Tuesday.

Forty years ago Voters will be asked to approve a $785,000 bond issue at the Nov. 2 general election to construct a new Ida County courthouse. However, the courthouse issue may have to survive a test in court, even if voters approve the bond issue. The legal question to be answered is whether federal revenue sharing money can be used to demolish a building that is on the federal register of historic sites. The Ida County Board of Supervisors will be checking into a question of who owes back taxes on land the county bought as part of the Crawford Creek watershed project. Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Burton and their attorney Dan Williamson, were at the Thursday meeting to tell the board they think the county should pay half a years taxes on 25 acres the Burtons sold to the county.

The Holstein City Council heard an evaluation of the city pool and set dates for Halloween and open burning. During a special meeting Sept. 26, the council voted to direct haul the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garbage to Cherokee County and to raise the landfill fee. In the pool evaluation, it was recommended to replace the main swimming pool vessel within five to 10 years, replace the bathhouse and commence planning for the project.

Ida County residents have access to virtual health care through UIeCare In a recent survey asking Iowans how they receive urgent care, one in 10 respondents (9.7 percent) said they used a hospital emergency room for themselves or a child for a relatively minor condition, such as a cold or flu, earache or pink eye in the past two years. The 2016 survey of 528 Iowans from both urban and rural areas showed that more than half (54 percent) were unfamiliar with the concept of virtual health care— care that’s delivered by computer or smart phone without an appointment. UIeCare, one of Iowa’s first virtual care services, makes it possible for Iowans, including Ida County residents, to see a UI Health Care-credentialed provider from anywhere in Iowa at any time. “Virtual health care is making it easier and more convenient for any Iowan to visit a doctor,” said Patrick Brophy, MD, associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Iowa. “But along with making people’s lives easier, the new service provides access to Iowans who may not have health care options near their homes—access that’s more cost-effective than emergency care options.” Brophy, who serves as medical director of UIeCare, commis-

sioned the survey to understand Iowans’ attitudes about receiving care at home through a computer or smart phone. According to the survey, 90 percent of Iowans in urban areas have access to urgent care within 20 minutes of home, nearly onethird (32 percent) of Iowans in rural areas lack that access to urgent care. Iowans throughout the state expressed an appreciation of the convenience of online doctor visits. “No one wants to leave the house when they aren’t feeling well. Iowans with sick kids or who have difficulty traveling will find the virtual care service very beneficial,” Brophy said. “Many of the common illnesses for which people routinely visit the doctor can easily be taken care of with a virtual care visit from the comfort of home.” The UIeCare service is for minor illnesses and injuries that are urgent but not an emergency, such as bug bites, flu-like symptoms, rash, sore throat, urinary tract infections and vomiting. The service is the only one in Iowa with medical providers credentialed by University of Iowa Health Care. A UIeCare visit costs $50. Patients do not need health insurance and can seek reimbursement

from a health savings account or an insurance plan. Patients do not need to be a patient at the University of Iowa to use the service. When they register at uiecare. com, patient’s answer screening questions to ensure virtual health care is appropriate. If not, a referral may be made to an emergency room or primary care physician. After requesting care online, patients are typically contacted by a physician within 30 minutes, but often in less than 15 minutes. Prescriptions can be written if medically appropriate. Visit information is shared with the patient’s primary care physician, or UIeCare can connect patients with a primary care physician in their community if they don’t have one. Iowans who are interested in learning more or would like to visit a physician through the UIeCare virtual health care clinic can visit uiecare.com. An Internet broadband speed of 1 Mbps upstream is recommended for videoconferencing. UIeCare, backed by University of Iowa Health Care, is the only virtual care service dedicated to helping Iowans throughout the state get care whenever and wherever they need it – so they can receive care without leaving their homes.

Survey shows people don’t know when to replace smoke alarms How often should the smoke alarms in your home be replaced? If you don’t know, you’re not alone. A national survey conducted by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) shows that nine out of 10 Americans don’t know how often smoke alarms need to be replaced. The correct answer: every 10 years. As the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week, NFPA is promoting this year’s campaign theme, “Don’t Wait - Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years,” to better educate the public about this potentially life-saving message. “While the public generally knows that smoke alarms play an important role in home fire safety, some smoke alarm messages are not as well understood,” says Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy for NFPA. “Not knowing how often smoke alarms need to be replaced - or that they even have an expiration date - are

among them.” According to Carli, that lack of awareness means some U.S. homes may have smoke alarms that have outlasted their full functionality, putting people at increased risk in the event of a home fire. NFPA statistics show that three out of five U.S. home fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke alarms or no working alarms. Key survey findings: •Half of Americans (50 percent) have three or more smoke alarms in their current home •Almost one in five Americans who have smoke alarms (19 percent) say the oldest smoke alarm they currently have in their home is 10-plus years old •Nearly one in five Americans who have smoke alarms (18 percent) are not at all sure how old the oldest smoke alarm they currently have in their home is •When asked how often they should replace smoke alarms, nine in 10 Americans (90 percent)

did not select the correct answer, which is once every 10 years “Working smoke alarms reduce the risk of dying in a home fire in half,” said Carli. “That’s why it’s so important to make sure they’re working properly.” A smoke alarm’s age can be determined by looking on the back or side of the smoke alarm, where the date of manufacture can be found. Smoke alarms should be replaced 10 years from that date (not the date of purchase or installation). In addition, smoke alarms should be tested monthly and batteries should be replaced when they begin to chirp signaling that they’re running low. Fire departments throughout the U.S. and Canada play a key role in making Fire Prevention Week an annual success by implementing the campaign in their communities; departments throughout North America will be hosting open houses and other local events throughout the week of Oct. 9-15.

FFA cookout: The Ridge View FFA chapter held its annual cookout in the Galva Park. They grilled hamburgers and brats and made cheesy potatoes in a Dutch oven. This was a great way for the FFA members to get together to start out the school year and to set goals for the upcoming year. They met with new members and explained what the chapter does and talked about the tractor pull in Ida Grove that the group hosted, along with helping out at the Meyers’ Petting Zoo.

EPA requests applications to reduce diesel emissions from school buses The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the availability of approximately $7 million in rebates to public school bus fleet owners to help them replace or retrofit older school buses. Upgrading buses with older engines reduces diesel emissions and improves air quality. “Modernizing school bus fleets across the country with retrofits,

replacements, and idle reduction practices helps reduce children’s exposure to air toxics,” said Janet McCabe, acting assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation. “With the amount of time kids spend on buses, we need to protect them from the harm older diesel engines can cause.” EPA standards for new diesel engines make them more than 90

percent cleaner than older ones, but many older diesel engines still in operation predate these standards. Older diesel engines emit large quantities of pollutants such as particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which have been linked to serious health problems such as aggravated asthma and lung damage. EPA is accepting applications through Nov. 1.

Electrocution hazards on the farm Rain clouds are moving in quickly and you want to inish harvesting that last ield. Another wagon is ready to dump and more will be arriving soon. You need to move the portable auger to the next storage bin. To stay on schedule, you decide to move the auger without irst lowering the height. Without warning, the auger contacts overhead power lines and two workers are electrocuted. It was too late to do anything. This scenario is repeated on dozens of farms throughout the United States each year. Electrocution is quick and deadly, killing an estimated 35 agricultural workers every year. The tragic aspect is that these deaths could have been prevented. Farm workers can reduce their risks of electrocution by knowing how they, or others on the farm, can unknowingly come in contact with electricity. The most common risk of electrocution comes from overhead power lines. Utility lines typically are not insulated, meaning that the lines are bare. The lines may have been installed without insulation or the insulation may have been removed by exposure to the elements. Always treat overhead power lines as if they are bare. Unlike birds that rest on wires unharmed, humans often die when they touch overhead lines because they contact the earth and wire at the same time. This creates a channel for electricity and electrocution can occur. Many types of farm equipment can come in contact with overhead power lines. Tractors with frontend loaders, portable grain augers, fold-up cultivators and equipment with antennas easily can become an electrical hazard and must be operated with care. Once you know the height of all power lines, you can determine the clearance needed for equipment that must travel underneath the line. Try to maintain at least a 10-foot clearance between the power line and the top of all equipment that must travel under

it. Consider the possibility that some equipment during transport is actually taller than when in use. If your tractor comes in contact with overhead power lines, stay on the tractor. Ask someone to contact the local utility company immediately to remove the danger. If there’s an emergency, such as an electrical ire, and you need to leave the equipment, jump as far away from the equipment as possible. Do not allow any part of your body to touch the equipment and the ground at the same time. Once you get away from the equipment, never attempt to get back on or even touch the equipment. Many electrocutions occur when the operator dismounts and, realizing nothing has happened, tries to get back on the equipment. Many electrocutions occur near grain bins and requirements in the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) addresses those dangers. The code requires raised power lines in dangerous locations where tall equipment is used. According to the NESC, power lines must be at least 18-feet above the highest point on any grain bin with which portable augers or other portable illing equipment are used. The clearance must be maintained a speci ied distance around the bin and sloped to meet the lower line clearance. If you are installing new grain bins, contact a licensed electrician or power company representative to help place electrical service lines. Lines also can be buried to reduce risk of electrocution. Installation costs for overhead and underground power lines can vary; contact local reps. If you have overhead power lines, ask local utility company of icials to help determine line height in each area of the farm. The best way to handle emergencies is by prevention. Respect electricity and avoid contact with overhead lines. Performance of certain farm tasks also pose electrocution hazards. Always use ladders with

caution so that they do not come in contact with overhead power lines. Busy planting and harvest seasons may require temporary employees, persons who may not be aware of potential dangers associated with overhead power lines. Always remind additional workers about overhead power lines. Some farms are equipped with a standby generator to provide emergency power for essential farm operations during local power failures. A key component of your operation’s emergency power system is the transfer switch, which removes the farm’s electrical system from the power company’s utility lines. The switch prevents electricity generated by a farm operation’s emergency power system from entering the power company’s utility lines, and protects from electrocution those power company workers who service lines during an outage. The switch also protects your generator when power is restored. Always use the transfer switch whenever your standby generator is in operation. Make sure all workers know the location of the transfer switch. Other helpful tips to stay safe include: •Apply decals to all equipment that may pose electrical hazards and explain decals to persons who work with the equipment. •Inspect farm equipment for transport height and determine clearance with any power lines under which the equipment must pass. •Review the possibility of underground utility supplies for new or replacement power lines. •Determine risks for potential electrical shock and restrict access to that area. •If you have a standby power system, review its location, operation, and importance with all workers. •Never measure line heights yourself.

Battling a silent epidemic - brain injuries Each year, thousands of Iowans’ lives are changed by brain injuries. A car crash, a fall on the ice or a hard bump on the head can cause what’s known as ‘traumatic brain injury’ or TBI. Often, the complications of TBI, which include changes in thinking, language or even general emotions, are often missed. Because of this, TBI is often called a silent epidemic. According to the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), about 17,000 Iowans are seen in emergency departments annually because of TBI. Six hundred three Iowans died in 2014 as a result of brain injury. TBI is the leading cause of death and disability

among young children zero to four years and adults aged 75 years and older. In Iowa, falls are the leading cause of TBI among young children and older adults. “That number does not include the thousands of Iowans who experience brain injury but are not hospitalized,” said IDPH brain injury and disability program manager Maggie Ferguson. “These individuals may suffer consequences of their injuries, but are never treated.” You should contact a health care professional or go to an emergency department immediately if you or someone you know receives a bump, blow or jolt to the head or body and have the following signs:

Iowa gets a glimpse of fall color Iowa’s leaf watchers are getting ready for the big fall show. Unfortunately, this year may be more average than awesome for leaf viewers, according to Jeff Goerndt, DNR State Forest section supervisor. “I hope my prediction is wrong,” says Goerndt. “But because of the wet weather we’ve been experiencing, color will likely be variable across the state. You get the best and brightest colors when you’ve got a lot of warm, dry, sunny days and crisp, cool nights.” The broadest pallet of fall colors is found in northeast Iowa, where there are more hard maples supplying the bright reds and oranges, says Goerndt. But there are plenAdvertise in the Classi eds! Starting at $12 for the rst 25 words. (10¢/word after that)

ty of other areas around the state with outstanding fall landscapes. For example, the contrast between the yellow ash and the deep green cedars of the Loess Hills is a completely different yet equally beautiful fall look. Leaves typically change irst across northern Iowa between the last week of September to the second week of October. Central Iowa will see leaves changing from the irst to third weeks of October and southern Iowa between the second week and the end of October. What changes where is subject to weather. How vivid and how long leaves remain is also determined by weather, and the leaf-watching season can be cut

short by strong wind events. The warm days and cool nights, the length of the days and even the acidity of the soil at a tree’s location all in luence the leaf color a tree produces. As days get shorter, chlorophyll production slows, allowing trees to go dormant and other leaf colors to show. For weekly updates on fall color around Iowa contact the DNR fall color hotline at 515-233-4110.

Assembly: High school students from O-A/BC-IG and Ridge View assembled at O-A/BC-IG High School in Ida Grove Sept. 22 for an assembly put on by Mike Lutzenkirchen of the Lutzie 43 Foundation. Lutzenkirchen created the Lutzie 43 Foundation in honor of his son Philip Lutzenkirchen, a star football player at Auburn, who was a passenger in a single-car accident involving a drunk driver. Lutzenkirchen died in the accident. The presentation focused on five core values: serve and lead with humility, cherish relationships, remain genuine and authentic, live a life full of spirit and learn and adjust. The program was sponsored by VT Industries, G-H Foundation, Ida County American Legion, Swanson Insurance, Hoffman Agency, Adam Henderson State Farm, Ida Grove Ambulance and Ida Grove Kiwanis.

Iowa enters prime West Nile Virus season The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) is reminding Iowans to take steps to protect themselves from mosquito bites in the coming weeks. Late summer and early fall are the seasons of peak West Nile virus activity in the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the summer months, packing bug spray is just part of the routine for outdoor activities,â&#x20AC;? said IDPH Deputy State Epidemiologist Dr. Ann Garvey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though the seasons are changing, the mosquitoes are still biting and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more important to pack bug spray for soccer, football or fall hikes than it was for summer activities.â&#x20AC;? Iowans should take the following steps to reduce the risk of ex-

posure to West Nile virus: â&#x20AC;˘Use insect repellent with DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Always read the repellent label and consult with a health care provider if you have questions when using these types of products for children. For example, DEET should not be used on infants less than two months old and oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under three years old. â&#x20AC;˘Avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active. â&#x20AC;˘Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, shoes, and socks whenever possible outdoors. Approximately 20 percent of people infected with West Nile

virus will have mild to moderate symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches and vomiting. Less than 1 percent of people infected become seriously ill and rarely, someone dies. So far this year, 15 cases of West Nile virus have been con irmed in Iowa. Since West Nile irst appeared in Iowa in 2002, it has been found in every county in Iowa, either in humans, horses or birds. In 2015, 14 cases of West Nile virus were reported to IDPH. The last death caused by West Nile virus was in 2010 and there were two deaths that year. For more information about West Nile virus, visit idph.iowa. gov/cade/disease-information/ west-nile-virus.

Iowa DOT receives national award For the third consecutive year, the Iowa Department of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of Motor Vehicle Enforcement (MVE) was tops in the nation for safety enforcement as determined by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The agency also received an honorable mention for safety enforcement improvement. These awards were presented to MVE Chief David Lorenzen at the fall Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance conference Sept. 19 in

Little Rock, Ark. Iowa was presented with the Safety Enforcement Award. The award recognizes the most productive and focused safety enforcement programs in fiscal year 2015 in terms of cost efficiency, traffic enforcement and data quality. Specifically noted where Iowa MVEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s: â&#x20AC;˘Average cost per vehicle inspection. â&#x20AC;˘Efficiency of the operation. â&#x20AC;˘Quality of reporting traffic enforcement violations.

The Safety Enforcement Improvement Honorable Mention recognizes the states with the greatest improvements to their safety enforcement programs. Iowa Department of Transportation Director Paul Trombino III said of the awards, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This shows the incredible work accomplished by our motor vehicle enforcement staff. Thank you so much for your work each day focused on improving safety, mobility and the economics of the state of Iowa.â&#x20AC;?

Governor Branstad signs harvest weight proclamation Iowa Governor Terry E. Branstad signed a proclamation to allow the transportation of overweight loads of soybeans, corn, hay, straw, silage and stover. The proclamation took effect Sept. 20 and expires after 60 days. Th proclamation is intended to allow vehicles transporting soybeans, corn, hay, straw, silage and stover to be overweight, not exceeding 90,000 pounds

gross weight, without a permit, but only for the duration of this proclamation. This action is intended to allow loads transported on all highways within Iowa, excluding the interstate system, and those which do not exceed a maximum of 90,000 pounds gross weight, do not exceed the maximum axle weight limit determined under the non-primary highway maximum gross weight table in

Iowa Code Â§321.463(5) (b), by more than 12.5 percent, do not exceed the legal maximum axle weight limit of 20,000 pounds and comply with posted limits on roads and bridges. The Iowa Department of Transportation is directed to monitor the operation of this proclamation to assure the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety and facilitate the movement of the trucks involved.

30 days of thanks helps Evertek give back Experience is a great teacher in many areas of life and rural communications is no different. Evertek, based in Everly, draws on a corporate history dating back to 1905, to serve rural customers with communications services, according to Roxanne White, Evertekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re serving some third generation customers now in the Everly area,â&#x20AC;? stated White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main difference is todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s customers need huge Internet capacity which also needs to be extremely reliable.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we saw the opportunity 30 years ago to help more cus-

tomers in rural areas, our parent company United Farmers Telephone Company, formed Evertek. The goal was to buy and start using emerging licensed wireless technology to provide services to customers who could not get the services they needed. We started with TV services back then, which by the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s transformed into the early days of licensed wireless Internet. Now we have more than 50 licensed wireless Internet systems.â&#x20AC;? Chris Dodd, Evertekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant general manager continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with local coops, cities, and farmers to utilize

existing structures when possible to enable us to more quickly deploy our systems. This helps keep systems more economical â&#x20AC;&#x201C; keeping our prices affordable for our customers.â&#x20AC;? In addition to a tower in Everly, Evertek also has a tower in Holstein. To celebrate 30 years in business, Evertek is doing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;30 days of thanks,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; where customers can sign-up for daily drawings for $30 gift cards to local businesses. You can learn more or sign up for the drawings at www.evertek.net or on Facebook by searching for Evertek Inc.

Science of Parenting: The Stress of Special Needs The demands of parenting often are multiplied for parents of children with special health and behavioral needs, say the Science of Parenting bloggers from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. However, these parents will be better able to provide care for their children if they also take care of themselves. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 15 percent of U.S. families have a chronically ill child with special health needs. The extra demands cause stress that affects the whole family, said blogger Lori Hayungs, a human sciences specialist in family life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Caring for a child with special needs can require additional time, which can mean you have less time for your other children, your spouse or aging parents, who also need your attention,â&#x20AC;? Hayungs said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been criticized or judged by others who simply do not understand your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition. You may feel isolated from other parents, because how could people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a child with special needs possibly know what you are going through?â&#x20AC;? Hayungs noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents often are trying to learn about their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disability and ind treatments and resources. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coping with the emotional and physical challenges of providing care as they coordinate healthcare treatments, advocate for their child and pay for necessary services. No wonder parents of children with special needs often are exhausted and even depressed,â&#x20AC;? Hayungs said. Hayungs and the other Science of Parenting bloggers will offer self-care tips and resources that can help parents cope. They will

discuss ways that family members can support each other. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also talk about when and how to reach out for assistance. In addition theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll explore resources for reducing stress that are available through ISU Extension and Outreach. Learn more from tips on the blog throughout the month and in a short podcast. Through the Science of Parenting, www.scienceofparenting.org, ISU Extension and Outreach specialists share and discuss research-based information and resources to help parents rear their children. Parents can join in the conversation and share thoughts and experiences, as well as how they handle parenting responsibilities. The Science of Parenting from ISU Extension and Outreach also is available on Twitter and via text message.

Funky chic wall art class Join us in Galva for another crafting night with Ceil Triggs as she teaches the public how to create one-of-a-kind wall art canvases out of old shirts.

•Vintage holiday tablecloth or runner •New baby nursery theme, used baby sleeper or keepsake blanket •Add-on items could be old jewelry, photos, post cards, sentimental items, ties Give some thought to making a canvas that will look good in your home or office, a college dorm room, child’s bedroom or use the canvas for a special gift. Triggs will bring along miscellaneous t-shirts and assorted embellishments, such as beads, baubles and stones. This make-’n-take class would be a fun project night for 4-H clubs, Girl Scouts, civic clubs, church youth groups, Red Hat Society ladies or a friend’s birthday celebration.

Raptors win streak snapped by Sioux Central Sioux Central scored the first 20 points en route to a 20-12 district football win over Ridge View Friday in Sioux Rapids. The loss snapped Ridge View’s four game winning streak. It was also marked the Raptors’ first loss in district play. Raptor coach Jeff DeHaan said the difference in the game was Sioux Central’s ability to control the ball. Sioux Central ran 73 plays while the Raptors ran 43 plays, four of which resulted in turnovers. “They controlled the ball and the game; that is what they do,” said DeHaan. “When they limit your possessions and you have four turnovers you don’t have many opportunities to score. “They are a physical team and we didn’t handle that well. They controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and we could never get anything going.” Despite a ball control offense it didn’t take Sioux Central long to score its first touchdown of the game. The score, a one-yard run at 8:50 of the first quarter, was the result of a three-play drive. The PAT attempt failed.

The Rebels’ second score also came quickly. A four-play drive that ended with a 45-yard run to the end zone at the 7:43 mark of the second quarter. The PAT attempt failed. The 12-0 advantage held up until 7:45 of the third quarter when the Rebels got on the board on a oneyard carry. The try for two-points stretched the lead to 20-0. Ridge View answered the Rebels’ third quarter score with a one yard run by quarterback Tyler Wingert on the Raptors’ possession after Sioux Central scored. The PAT attempt was blocked to make the score 20-6. Following Ridge View’s score, Sioux Central’s ball control offense came into play in keeping the Raptor offense off the field when the Rebels mounted a drive that took more than nine minutes off the clock. The drive ended on downs. Ridge View was able to put together a scoring drive in the latter stage of the fourth quarter. The 82yard drive culminated on Wingert’s 25-yard run to the end zone with 3:25 to go in the game. The PAT kick was blocked.

Sioux Central was able to put the game in the win column with a drive that ran out the remainder of the game clock. “We needed to be able to control the first and second down situations to force third and long situations to make them uncomfortable and we didn’t do that. They were very effective at extending drives on third and short and fourth and short. We could never get them off the field for an extended time,” said DeHaan. Sioux Central finished the game with 313 total yards, all on the ground. Ridge View had 83 yards rushing and 193 passing yards for 276 total yards. Ridge View’s season record slipped to 4-2 and to 3-1 in the district. Sioux Central upped its record to 3-3 and to 2-2. This week Ridge View will host Algona Garrigan in a key district game. Garrigan is 4-0 in the district and 6-0 overall. Garrigan is the only unbeaten team in the district, while Ridge View and South O’Brien both have one district loss. “Garrigan has a very solid, all around good team,” said DeHaan.

“Defensively, they haven’t given up any points in district play this season. Offensively, they have some nice backs and receivers and they go in to and out of various formations.” Stats RV SC First downs 10 21 Rushes/yds. 19-83 69-313 Pass yds. 193 0 Pass/Att/Int 8-24-3 0-4-0 Total yards 276 313 Fum. lost 1 1 Penalties 6-64 6-55 Punts/ave. 3-30.6 4-28.0 Scoring by quarters RV 0 0 6 6 —12 SC 6 6 8 0 —20 Ridge View individual stats Passing: Wingert (8-24-3, 193 yds.).
