Holstein Council discusses problems with Internet, cable, phone service by DEB LOGER Long Lines representative Bill Gaukel attended the Oct. 3 Holstein City Council meeting to address the poor service in Holstein. Gaukel began by apologizing for not being able to broadcast the meeting on the local cable channel. “We have had numerous complaints with the quality of our cable TV, Internet and phone services since our digital upgrade. This is not how we like to do business. We are identifying problem areas and working on getting the signal issues resolved. It is our hope to have the problems resolved by the end of next week. Our product isn’t advertising for us very well. We pride ourselves on our services and want you to know our rural customers are very important to us.” “I had 59 drops the other day. I work from home and need Internet service to do my reports to the state. I’m paying you $155

a month and want to know what you’re going to do for me. When the Internet service drops, it goes to my phone and I’m paying $150 in over data charges. Holstein customers on fixed incomes who budget have to decide, do I have cable, phone and Internet or food or medicine?” said councilman Rod Regennitter. “We will address your situation and others. You are our customer, and we need you,” said Gaukel. “A letter has been sent to all of our customers in Holstein and Ida Grove, addressing the issues. We are working on it.” The Long Lines franchise agreement was discussed. Mayor Connie Ludvigson and councilperson Bonnie Stevenson met with Gaukel Sept. 14 to discuss poor service and the expired franchise agreement. Gaukel will provide examples of agreements they have with other communities. The utilities committee will review the

existing agreement, along with the samples, and come back to the council with their recommendation. Ida County Economic Development representative Rita Frahm and Frank Forneris, VT Industries project manager, met with the council to discuss VT’s proposed expansion project. Forneris told the council they would be adding 82,000 square feet to the northwest corner of the current VT building. Cost for the new construction and renovation work, which will be phased in over three to four years, is estimated at $21 million and will eventually provide 60 new positions. Frahm told the council she is working with Forneris on various Iowa Economic Development Authority incentives. Frahm stated this would be a good time for Holstein to update its strategic plan and to address housing needs. (continued on page 2)

Supervisors approve matrix for new confinement, permits The Ida County Board of Supervisors approved the matrix scoring for a new three-unit hog confinement near Galva on Oct. 3. Following the recommendation from Ida County Emergency Management Coordinator Ed Sohm, the supervisors voted to approve the matrix scoring sheet for Granite Farms VI, LLC, to be located in Section four of Galva Township. The new swine finisher confinement will consist of three units containing a total of 7,490 head. This is the second matrix returned to the county by the new establishment. The original, submitted at the end of August, had points from a waiver from the nearest property. However, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources noted they were unable to accept the points from the waiver, so a new matrix sheet was submitted on Sept. 6 without the waiver. The board met with Ida County

Engineer Jeff Williams to discuss a meeting with MidAmerican Energy and M.A. Mortensen Co. regarding road conditions following the wind down of the wind tower project. The supervisors toured the roads with Williams following the meeting. The following were approved: utility permits for NIPCO in Griggs Township and Logan Township; utility permit for MidAmerican Energy; county right-of-way permit for ditch cleaning on Carriage Avenue and 110th Street; Angela Lamb and Lori Gosch as part-time dispatchers at $16.44 per hour and Dennis Roeder to the board of adjustment for a five-year term ending in 2021. The supervisors tabled discussion on concrete crushing. The board met with Ida County Sheriff Wade Harriman to discuss the jail and promotional process within his department. He would

like to see a bonus or stipend for those who take on a leadership role in his department as a chief deputy or sergeant. Harriman feels that there are some in the department who want to advance but see no advantage as the work load increases without any type of additional benefit. The board agreed that some type of financial bonus could help with the process. Harriman also noted he would be meeting with each city council during their meetings to discuss the 28E agreement for countywide law. Harriman would like to begin discussion between the cities and the county regarding the percentages each pay for services by the sheriff’s department. The board acknowledged receipts of manure management plans from Faith Site/Palisades LLC; Albers/Craig and Gloria Todd; PGA Site 2/Allan Schmidt and R&M Pork/Rick McBride.

State Theatre closes in on opening day The State Theatre in Holstein is nearing opening day with just final touches left to finish the massive project started in July 2015. The bigger projects completed recently include new air conditioning and furnace units installed by Johnson Propane. The paneling was installed in front of the stage and carpet was laid in the theatre itself and down the aisles. Andy Boeckman covered and painted the roof in September. The theatre has surpassed its initial goal for fund-raising, but donations are still needed to

complete the project. One larger piece still needed to complete the project is point-of-sale systems for selling tickets and concession items. You can donate online at www.holsteinstatetheatre.com or mail to Holstein Development Authority, P.O. Box 578, Holstein, Iowa 51025. The theatre also recently installed a phone system, and its new number is 712-368-6226. Opening day could come as soon as Nov. 4. The organization is looking at movie options and scheduling. Movies would be shown throughout the weekend, including two possible showings

on a Friday night, three showings on Saturdays and possibly one or two showings on Sundays. The group plans on showing different movies every weekend and hopes to have a show during the week of classic movies, based on a monthly theme. The group is asking anyone who wishes to volunteer for the theatre when it opens, whether taking tickets or working concessions, to stop by the theatre on Oct. 22, so a calendar schedule can be created. More information will be posted on the meeting when it becomes available.

U.S. 20 construction update Road construction work for the expansion of U.S. 20 in Ida and Sac counties will require closing the roadway to traffic between Ida County Road M-25 (near Galva) and U.S. 71 (near Early) from 6 a.m. Monday, Oct. 17, until late fall 2018, weather permitting, according to the Iowa Department of Transpor-

tation’s District 3 Office. Motorists will be directed around the work zone on a signed detour using Ida County Road M-25, Ida/Sac County Road D-15, and U.S. 71. C.J. Moyna and Sons Inc. was awarded the $45,778,318 road construction project. The Iowa DOT reminds mo-

torists to drive with caution, obey the posted speed limit and other signs in the work area and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations are at least double in work zones. As in all work zones, drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts.

Pumpkin carving, Halloween hike is this week The Ida County Conservation Board’s 19th annual Halloween hike and pumpkin carving contest is scheduled for this Friday, Oct. 14 and Saturday, Oct. 15, at Moorehead Park in Ida Grove.

Hotdogs and marshmallows will be available for a free will donation. The pumpkins carved during the contest will be used to line the trail for the Halloween hike the following evening. Those wishing to keep their pumpkin can pick them up on the trail Sunday after the hike. Please bring your own carving tools (no knives). Pumpkins will be provided or bring your own. Halloween hike The Halloween hike is slated for Saturday, Oct. 15, from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at Moorehead Park. This year’s theme is “Creatures of the Night.” The hike will start and end at the conservation education center. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes. Reservations are not required. A free will dona-

tion is being accepted at the gate as people enter the hike area. The hike will start at the conservation center and follow the Pleasant Valley Trail toward the Grant Center Country School with a detour to the Stagecoach Inn. A mown path from the Inn will lead back to the conservation center. The trail will be lit with jack-olanterns and luminaries. Along the trail, hikers will be treated to skits, trick-or-treat stations, campfires, s’mores and Stagecoach Inn tours. Hayrides around the park will leave from the conservation center. In conjunction with the hike, the Ida County Historical Society will hold a fund-raiser from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at the Grant Center School in Moorehead Park. Trick-or-treaters and current and past fourth grade students are invited to bring their parents out to tour the school. The purpose of the fund-raiser is to cover costs associated with repairing the joists and beams under the building.

Gym finished: The gym floor at Ridge View High School in Holstein is now completed. The school would like to remind visitors that no bare feet and no street shoes are to be used on the floor. Students should bring a separate pair of shoes for physical education classes and extracurricular activities. High school students are asked to use the stage to get to shop and physical education classes. (Photo submitted)

The Holstein Advance

. . . Holstein council

(continued from front page) The council reviewed two options from attorney Joe Heidenreich for Don Breyfogle’s hazardous building at 125 N. Main St. Heidenreich noted the city would incur serious expenses with either option. Deputy Administrator Kay Hanson noted a third option is to gather more information and wait until funds are available to proceed. Option one: Under Chapter 145: Titled Unsafe Buildings, the council can do the following: “First, they must determine if the owner’s property is unsafe pursuant to 145.01. From the copies of letters that you have sent me, they have obviously already determined this. Then, the council may enter an order or resolution that the building must be repaired, removed or destroyed. The council must then send a notice of said order or resolution to the owner and/or lienholder of the property. The notice has to state that they have 20 days to object to the notice or the city will carry out the order,” said Heidenreich. Heidenreich said, “If the city determines the repair, removal or destruction can be done for $500 or less, the city employees can do the work. When the cost is more than $500, you have to get bids from a private contractor to do the work. The city has to pay for the work and then the council can pass a resolution assessing the costs against the real estate. This assessment has to be certified through the county auditor for collection in the same manner as property tax. In Don Breyfogle’s case, you have already sent a letter on March 10, 2016, which gives him notice that the council finds the building unsafe.” Under option two, the city can elect to file a petition in Ida County District Court under Iowa Code 657.A. The petition asks the court for relief from the nuisance or unsafe property by appointing a receiver to fix the problem. The steps that have to be taken and the costs incurred will be real similar to what the city would do under their own city code. If the city doesn’t choose to use Chapter 657.A Sections 2-10, there is a provision in Chapter 657.A 10A, which allows the city to actually take title to the property and clean it up. Following discussion, the council elected to have Hanson, councilman Danny Gebers and Holstein American Legion representative Burdette Conover talk to Breyfogle about the unsafe building. A resolution was approved for a 28E agreement with Ida County regarding unpaid parking ticket collection. Under the agreement, after 30 days, if a parking ticket were not paid, the vehicle information would be turned over to the Ida County Treasurer’s Office. They would not issue a vehicle license renewal for that vehicle

until the parking ticket is paid. A $5 fee would be retained by Ida County, and the collected fine of $25 would be paid to the City of Holstein. If approved by the council, it will be submitted to the Ida County Supervisors for consideration and then filed with the State of Iowa. Hanson reported some of the temporary Highway 20 construction workers have received parking tickets. Regennitter told Hanson the workers could park on one of his grass lots. After a brief discussion, the council advised Hanson and city staff to work with the construction workers and avoid fining them for parking violations. Pool manager Donna Bremer presented the summer 2016 pool report. Attendance totaled 7,100, with 113 participants in summer swim lessons, with a total income of $14,270 from daily admissions, season tickets, lessons, rentals and concessions. Bremer reported there were no serious accidents or incidents during the 2016 seasons and that the pool was inspected Aug. 9. The following violations were discussed: deck has cracked and uneven concrete—holes and seams need to be filled in, two items were missing from the First Aid kit, an updated written policy for handling accidental fecal release incidents needs to be added and the northwest ladder in the deep end was loose. The last three items were dealt with immediately. The following items were discussed, although it was unsure whether violations existed: Ed Sohm, Ida County Environmental Health Coordinator, thought a schematic drawing of the pool circulation system was required. (Bremer said her understanding was that all valves, piping and flow are labeled, so no diagram is needed.) Sohm thought the handicap accessible chair needed to be folded up and moved back out of the way and covered when not in use. (Bremer didn’t think the chair could be folded up or moved, but a cover could be provided.) Items to be considered for repair, replacement or purchase in 2017 include: inspect and continue deck patching, finish painting boys’ room, purchase heavy duty brace kit for stair steps, check bath house water heater, consider option for repair of power cord/ grounded plug for remote vacuum, purchase workplace radio and speakers and consider timeline for plastering and painting shell and other major renovations. The council approved the necessary legalities to hire Bremer as the 2017 pool manager and approved retroactive wage increases for pool employees Tara Redenius and Evan Leuschen. Ida County Sheriff Wade Harriman reviewed the current Ida County Public Safety and Communication Commissions 28E

agreement, which expires June 30, 2017. Harriman told the council Ida County’s countywide law system has been existence since 1976. He said, “There are three formulas allowed by law: population, usage or any other formula. Holstein’s current percentage is 16.3 percent. For 2016-17, your cost is $210,335. If you want changes, this is the time to address them.” According to Harriman, the number of patrol hours per community is pretty close to the current percentages for the 28E agreement. He noted drug arrests are up and that he is looking at purchasing another drug dog. Cost of the dog and training is approximately $11,000. Harriman told the council there were 254 arrests made between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30, which compares to 123 arrests for the same time period in 2015. In the same period, there were 261 bookings this year, compared to 132 in 2015. Mayor Connie Ludvigson reviewed committee assignments and board appointments. Updated committee assignments are: finance and claims—James Doxtad and Bonnie Stevenson, pool and parks—Rodney Regennitter and Danny Gebers, utilities (water, sewer, cable TV)—Mary Gross and Gebers, streets and alleys (trees)—Regennitter and Doxtad, administration and personnel— Gross and Stevenson, East Ridge Lot Sales/Fouts 1st Addition promotion—Doxtad and Stevenson, mayor protem—Doxtad and alternate—Gross. Ludvigson noted Jim Breyfogle and Joni Hanson agreed to another term on the Planning and Zoning Commission and Christine Wiese agreed to another term on the Holstein Board of Adjustment. Dick Brosamle was present to ask, if he removed a sidewalk on property he purchased at 408 Altona St., does he have to replace it? He was told city code requires property owners to replace sidewalks if they are taken out. Brosamle also asked if he was required to remove snow from the sidewalk in question, as it doesn’t connect with any other sidewalks. Councilman Rod Regennitter responded that city code requires removal of snow or ice within a 48-hour period and volunteered to keep the sidewalk clear for Brosamle. In other business, the council approved pay request number four ($236,665) to L&L Builders for the city maintenance shop; renewal of Backdraft Bar and Grill’s Class C liquor license, outdoor sales and Sunday sales and Holstein Super Market’s Class C beer permit and Sunday sales and discussed the need for updating the strategic action plan and future housing. Councilmembers Gross and Doxtad were absent.

Message Redhead Express - Second Time Around by Christine Wiese The Redhead Express together with their brothers, The Walker Boys, showcased their maturing musicality on the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to Holsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rosemary Clausen Center for the Performing Arts Oct. 1. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been six years since the seven siblings first appeared on this stage, and subtle changes were discernible. Back then, their show was a pleasant experience on the order of savoring home cranked vanilla ice cream-sweet and refreshing. But (wow) now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more like digging into a loaded banana split, complete with extra toppings. It appears that, as the young people have grown up, they have started developing their own talents and styles. The family is no longer a homogeneous equation;

rather, it is becoming a heterogeneous combination of slightly disparate parts. Nowhere was this more apparent than in their eclectic play list. Songs ranged from the strong performance of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stand By Your Man,â&#x20AC;? an intense rendition on the bass of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amazing Graceâ&#x20AC;? and a masterful finger picking demonstration of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Banjo Styles.â&#x20AC;? These were juxtaposed among such happy surprises as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lean On Me,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hallelujahâ&#x20AC;? and a wildly comic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Enough For Now.â&#x20AC;? All in all, it was a delightful turn of events. Conversely, there were some aspects of the act that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed, and thank goodness for that. The family entourage still reveres its roots and steadfastly retains its respect for the armed forces. It may be safe to say that the most moving part

of the evening was when they asked the vets in the audience to stand and then dedicated two songs to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Proud To Be An Americanâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;God Bless The USAâ&#x20AC;? were sung to show their gratitude to those who serve in defense of our nation. These contemporary paeans of praise are especially relevant during these days of divisive political rhetoric. We need to be reminded of how blessed we are to be living in this country. Special mention should also be made of The Redhead Expressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own compositions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roots,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ridinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bikesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;See What I Seeâ&#x20AC;? spoke directly to the audience-some of whom did, indeed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;close their eyes and remember.â&#x20AC;? It was a grand show, given by gracious folks. We were glad to have them back.

Shoe drive ends successfully Sole 2 Soulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitness center in Galva recently partnered up with Soles4Souls, a Nashville-based, nonprofit organization, to collect gently used shoes to help disadvantaged people across the United States and the world.

We have had a number of area deaths recently and in small communities such as ours, we certainly do notice and mourn. Our sympathy to all the families.

The Holstein Advance

Sports

Raptors lose, remain in playoff hunt Algona Garrigan handed Ridge View a 32-6 district football setback in Holstein Friday. The win kept Garrigan on top of the district standings with a perfect 5-0 record. Ridge View slipped to third in the district standings with a 3-2 record. South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien is second with a 4-1 record. The top two teams advance to the state football playoffs. With two games to go, Ridge View is not out of the running for a playoff spot. The Raptors play at Marcus-Meriden-Cleghorn/Remsen-Union (1-4/1-6) this Friday and closeout the regular season by hosting South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Oct. 21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can play with the energy and passion that we played with Friday for the next two weeks, good things will happen for us,â&#x20AC;? noted Raptor coach Jeff DeHaan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The nice thing is Sioux Central got beat Friday, so right now we hold our own cards. If we win out the next two weeks we are in the playoffs. We have to play the next two weeks like it is the playoffs because if we lose one of the games were done.â&#x20AC;? The Raptors will be favored to win this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against M-M-C/R-U, but DeHaan noted his club canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go into the game unprepared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like it (playoff spot) will come down to the South Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien game, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look past M-MC/R-U,â&#x20AC;? said DeHaan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They like to spread the ball out offensively. They like to run and throw the ball and they have a nice defense. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got something to play for, so

we will have to come prepared to play.â&#x20AC;? Garrigan showed why it is undefeated this season on the opening drive of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. After receiving the opening kickoff the Golden Bears ran more than seven minutes off the clock and scored on a one-yard run and two-point run to go up 8-0 at the 4:53 mark of the first quarter. After going on a methodical drive to open the game, Garrigan showed it can also score quickly by putting six points on the board on a 65-yard run and a 31-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Both PAT attempts failed. The Golden Bears were up 20-0 at halftime. The Raptors regrouped at halftime and put together a 72-yard drive to open the second half that burned nearly eight minutes off the game clock. Jake Kliegl scored on a one-yard carry to get the Raptors on the board at 20-6 with 4:05 to play in the third quarter. The touchdown was the first against Garrigan in district play this season. Ridge View had an opportunity to draw closer when it forced Garrigan to punt on its next possession. The Golden Bears attempted a fake punt that fell short of the first down marker, which gave Ridge View possession of the ball at its own 46-yard line. The Raptors got to Garriganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13-yard line, but lost the ball on downs with 13 seconds to play in the third quarter. Garrigan put the game out of

reach in the fourth quarter on touchdown passes of 28 and 11 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Garrigan has a good team,â&#x20AC;? noted DeHaan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought our kids played extremely hard. Our defense held them to 172 yards rushing, which is well below their average of more than 300 yards per game. A couple of our turnovers led to points for them in short yardage situations.â&#x20AC;? Garrigan finished with 252 total yards (172 rushing and 80 passing). Ridge View had 177 total yards (182 passing and minus five rushing). Ridge View also had four turnovers, while Garrigan didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any.
