No good choice I’d hate to own a bumper sticker company right now. “None of the above” just doesn’t cut it when we are struggling to be positive. I’ve shied away from the presidential election in this column because my optimistic side wants to believe it doesn’t matter.

If you’ve used my short reading list (The Law, 1850) you’ll know that Frederic Bastiat rightly points out that in a nation with law, elections should be of little consequence because law applied in its proper use restricts government to preserving the rights of individuals as long as there is no right taken from someone else to that end. All the other functions of society can best be guided by free association in a free market.

The reason the presidential election has become so prevalent in the news is because there is so much at stake in this “advance auction sale of stolen goods,” as H.L. Mencken describes elections.

People seem flabbergasted that out of 320 million Americans we are now faced with choosing between The Donald and Hill. There are actually 1,910 people (I assume they are people) who have filed with the Federal Election Commission. But the media only sees fit to present two for our perusal. I guess there might be one out of the 1,910 who is literate and would stand by his oath, but with all the loot that’s at stake in this auction there is not much chance we will ever know who that is.

Since government has evolved into a force of theft (democracy), the good people have decided to stay out of it.

They are productive in the private sector instead of sticking their noses into other peoples’ business. They don’t see a need for forcing people to buy “alternative” energy that the market has determined to be too expensive. They don’t see a need to tell other countries how to run their own affairs and they don’t see a need to tell people here at home how to live their lives either.

But politicians truly believe that bureaucrats and committees can manage society better than an aggregate of millions of personal choices. They believe totalitarianism can provide greater prosperity than freedom.

That ignorance of economic principles is what drives them to seek public office. And the belief that productive endeavors further the good things in society better than government edict is what keeps the good people out of the political realm and on the job.

I haven’t watched any of the “debates” because my time is too valuable, but the word is that a school yard brawl is more civil and productive and the debates only reflect on the unsuitability of the candidates and the so-called moderators.

But maybe these people are exceptionally suited to an office that has evolved from executing constitutionally legislated law to crime boss.

Extension offers ServSafe training Winnebago County Extension will offer ServSafe training on Monday, Nov. 14 at Titonka Savings Bank in Forest City. The class begins at 9 a.m., and an exam is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

ServSafe is a short course about food safety for restaurant staff and food handlers. The ServSafe certification meets the food safety rules that were adopted by the Iowa Department of Inspection and Appeals and went into effect January 1, 2014.

The rules protect Iowa consumers by requiring food establishments to have a certified food protection manager to oversee the safe han-

dling, preparation, and service of food items in most food establishments. Research in Iowa and across the country indicates that food establishments with a certified food protection manager are less likely to have violations that could lead to foodborne illness.

There is a cost for registration, and preregistration is due by October 24.

People can register online at http:// goo.gl/XD7uQe or by calling 800262-0015. For questions regarding the ServSafe course, contact Nancy Clark at 515-341-0261 or nanclark@ iastate.edu

The disastrous tornado of last Friday tore Belmond asunder in a few brief moments, and brought its citizens the comforting realization that Iowans will go all out with help when help is needed. Dr. Harley Feldick, and nurses Becky Sill and Dorothy Campney, accompanied him to the disaster site to help in the treatment of the injured.

AEA 267 changes name to Central Rivers Area Education Agency

Citing a desire to present a more unified image and take advantage of timing, the AEA 267 board of directors made a decision during their October 5 meeting to change the agency’s name from Area Education Agency 267 to Central Rivers Area Education Agency.

“The board rarely makes unilateral decisions, but in this case we felt it was appropriate to move ahead without a lengthy process that detracted from the important work that our staff and schools have to do,” said Roberta Kraft-Abrahamson, AEA 267 board vice president. “The timing is right given recent conversations around updates to facilities, the fact that our website is in the midst of a complete overhaul and many of our building signs are in need of replacement.

From a dollars and cents standpoint, we had to make these improvements anyway. Why not take advantage of the timing and forge ahead?”

Previous site visits from the Iowa Department of Education echoed the sentiment that others have had about the agency’s current name for years--that it honors the past three organizations that merged back in 2003 but doesn’t project an image of one organization.

“In my many conversations with staff and the educators that we serve, the name conjured up images of “AEA 2-67” rather than one organization,” said Sam Miller, AEA 267 Chief Administrator. “Given our limited resources, if we were going to make this change, now was the time.”

The new name will be phased in around the first of the year when the new agency website is launched. Supplies bearing the agency’s current name will be used up throughout the spring, and the official changeover will take place on July 1, 2017.

North Iowa blood drive is November 3

North Iowa High School will host its fall blood drive on Thursday, Nov. 3 from 2-7 p.m. in the school commons. Ninety percent of Americans experience the need for blood in their lifetime, but less than ten percent of the population donates regularly. A regular blood donation only takes an hour and can save the lives of up to three local hospital patients.

To schedule an appointment, visit lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 800287-4903.

Program helps Iowa caregivers plan for 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, along with North Iowa Area Community College, are 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,” said Schmitt.

“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,” said Schmitt.

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,” said Bartholomae.

That’s where “Finances of Caregiving” comes in. The ISU Extension and Outreach family finance team created this five-week program that is specific to Iowa laws, policies and programs.

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 med-

ical 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,” said Schmitt.

The first session of Finances of Caregiving begins at 6 pm in Britt at the library on Oct. 24 or Lake Mills Public Library on Oct. 25. The remaining four classes will meet on Tuesday evenings (November 1, 8, 15 and 22) either at the originally listed locations or online.

Each class is 90 minutes long, 6-7:30 p.m. There is a fee for registration, which covers a workbook and binder.

“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,” said Bartholomae.

To register, call NIACC at 1-888466-4222 ext. 4358. The Course number for Britt is 104367, for Lake Mills 104268 and for Charles City 104368. People can also contact ISU Extension & Outreach in Hancock County at 641-923-2856 or Winnebago County at 641-584-2261.

Harringa shows Grand Champion at South Dakota State Fair The South Dakota State Fair proved to be very rewarding for FFA and 4-H member Krista Harringa.

In the FFA Dairy Show, Krista’s fall yearling took first premium and was named Grand Champion Holstein Heifer. The yearling proceeded to win Overall Reserve Champion Holstein Female of the show. The spring heifer calf received first premium in its class, along with being named 3rd Overall Holstein Heifer in the champion line-up. Krista is a member of the Deubrook FFA Chapter.

In the 4-H Dairy Show, Krista’s fall yearling took first in her class and was the Grand Champion Holstein Heifer. In the Supreme Heifer Drive, the yearling received 4th Overall Supreme Heifer. The spring heifer calf received first in her class, followed by winning Reserve Champion Holstein Heifer of the 4-H Dairy show.

granddaughter of Melvin and Ruth Harringa of Buffalo Center.

Volunteers are vital to the success of this event. Areas of need include setting up the displays, decorating Main Street USA, working a shift during the event and helping with dismantling after the first thaw in 2017. Anyone living in the Winnebago and Hancock County areas is invited to get involved.

An informational meeting about this event and how community mem-

bers can help will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20 in the basement of Beaver Creek Church, located in the Heritage Park of North Iowa. This meeting is open to everyone.

Heritage Park of North Iowa, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization, is a 91-acre site located on the south edge of Forest City. The Park is dedicated to the preservation of America’s rural heritage.

Heritage Park plans Holiday Tour of Lights Heritage Park of North Iowa is proud to announce a new community event, “Holiday Tour of Lights”, with a goal to have 50 brightly lit holiday displays throughout Heritage Park.

Displays can be seen beginning November 25, and Heritage Park anticipates families from a 30 mile radius around Forest City will come to view the lights over the holiday season.

Applications available for winter heating assistance program

Iowa’s winter heating season is rapidly approaching. The Iowa Utilities Board reminds utility customers that local community action agencies are accepting applications from the elderly and disabled for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Other interested consumers can apply for LIHEAP starting November 1. Eligibility is based on household size and income.

Iowa law requires that a qualified applicant, who is also the head of household under LIHEAP or the weatherization assistance program, shall not be disconnected from natural gas or electric service during the winter moratorium, which runs from November 1, 2016, through April 1, 2017.

While qualified applicants cannot be disconnected during the moratorium, the Board urges all LIHEAP certified customers to continue paying toward their energy bills through the winter to avoid accumulating high debt and potential utility service disconnection in the spring.

Heating assistance dollars for both federally-funded programs are limited and LIHEAP applications will be accepted at community action agencies on a first come/first served basis. Utility customers may contact their local utility company or the Iowa Utilities Board Customer Service staff toll-free at 1-877-5654450, or by email customer@iub. iowa.gov, for assistance.

For information, visit the Board’s LIHEAP web page, iub.iowa.gov/liheap and the Iowa Department of Human Rights, humanrights.iowa.gov/ dcaa/liheap, or call 515-281-0859.

Winnebago County campgrounds closing for season

The two campgrounds managed by the Winnebago County Conservation Board will be closing for the season beginning Monday, Oct. 24.

The two campgrounds are located at Thorpe Park, west of Forest City, and Dahle Park, northwest of Lake Mills. There will still be access to the campgrounds, but the water and electricity will be shut off, and the fire rings will be removed.

Although the campgrounds will be closed, the Lake Catherine Cabin at Thorpe Park remains open all year.

The cabin rents for $50 during the week and $65/night on Friday and Saturday nights. For more information about the cabin, including available dates, people can visit the WCCB web site at www.winnebagoccb.com.

LAND TRANSFERS Mayes Education Inc to City of Forest City, a tract of land in section 35, Forest Township.

Floyd Trent to Mary Trent, an undivided 1/2 interest in block 88, For-

GUTH from page 1 of Iowa’s economy. The environment affects us all, so we must find responsible ways to enable Agriculture to do its part in improving water quality while allowing responsible production on our farms. University research can identify methods that make a positive impact on nutrient loads in our waterways. Some of those are more expensive than a farmer can afford. That is when government may step in with cost-share funds.

Farmers should be able to choose what works for their farm. They know their farms best, and we want them to strive to make water quality improvements rather than just complying with the mandate.”

Funding for education “Funding education should be established in a timely fashion. I co-sponsored SF 2041, a bill that would default State Supplemental Aid (SSA) to the average of the previous three years of inflation according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) when SSA isn’t set on time. To ensure responsible budgeting under the bill, SSA would be limited to no less than zero percent and no more than three percent. In years when the legislature is unable to come to agreement on what SSA should be, schools would automatically receive between zero and three percent SSA, allowing them to move forward with their own budgeting decisions.

“I also believe we should reduce inequities in funding across the state.

SF 2104, which I co-sponsored, is an attempt to remove two of the largest inequities in school funding: cost per pupil and transportation costs. This

legislation would allow any student to experience equal academic opportunities regardless of where they live.”

Medicaid/health care/mental health issues “The recent privatization of Medicaid has been difficult and many have had trouble getting services. Many of these difficulties could have been avoided by: a slower transition to MCOs; moving the healthiest group to private first; working out the program bugs before including another group. I support the privatization of health care and mental health as a necessity to reducing abuse and contain costs.”

Jobs and economic development incentives “A robust economy is the best and the only engine to drive growth in rural Iowa. We have many excellent businesses providing great jobs in this district. We must not encumber them with more regulations that do nothing but create unproductive paperwork and expense. When businesses flourish, they invest in the community they are a part of, and everyone benefits. I will strive to reduce the tax burden on the engine that drives our economy and eliminate as much of the red tape as I can. I also see Tax Increment Financing (TIF) as a tool that fits our area well. TIF allows the new tax revenue generated by a new business to be invested in infrastructure to support that business. I will support the continuation of TIF.” Eminent Domain “Property rights are a key element of our society and our nation’s exceptional success in the world. Property rights give the citizen an incentive to work and

invest in infrastructure for the future.

The taking of property through Eminent Domain should only happen when the greater good of the community is clearly at stake and the large majority of property has been voluntarily offered.

Private entities should have very limited access to Eminent Domain.”

Public Safety “It has been said that he who gives up some of his liberty in exchange for security will soon find he has neither.

Public safety requires participation from all of us. The Second Amendment was written for this purpose, and I am committed to defending it.”

Other comments: “I am running for a second term because I want to represent Biblical values in state government. My intent as a legislator is to propose or support legislation that will go to the root of our society’s woes rather than waste time and money on Band-Aids for the symptoms.

I believe that when we encourage personal responsibility, we will have less need for government. For example, let’s give farmers the opportunity to decide how to best improve water quality on their farm rather than stifling initiative by forcing regulations on them. University research can help identify various methods that reduce nutrient loads on our waterways. Government can help fund the more expensive applications.

Farmers chose what fits their farm, and they have a stake in the outcome.

When we take away responsibility for the outcomes of our actions, there can never be enough government to care for the needy or to punish those who take advantage of others.”

BANGERT from page 1 with a bi-partisan, long-term solution that works for everyone and doesn’t place undue burden on our farmers.”

Funding for education “Giving our kids a great education should be one of the most important functions of government. Iowa has been a leader in public schools, but if we don’t support them, we can’t keep it up.

“The state legislature must start paying schools the money they need to operate on time. By not allowing the districts to know when or how much they will be paid, it makes it more difficult to plan effective programs for their students. We need to increase funding in order to support vital programs.

One and a quarter percent increase in allowable growth is enough to keep our schools open this year, but in five years, many schools in District 4 will be bankrupt.

“As State Senator, I will fight to support our schools, our students, and our teachers, so that we can prepare the next generation of Iowans for life and give them the skills they will need to get good jobs.”

Medicaid/health care/mental health issues “Both Medicaid and our mental health system are in crisis, and both are examples of Governor Branstad putting the cart in front of the horse. With the Governor’s unilateral privatization of Medicaid, we have seen the makings of a disaster. This process was done without legislative approval and was rushed into reality. Now we have patients having trouble getting the healthcare they need and medical providers (doctors, clinics and others) having to close because the corporations running the program aren’t reimbursing them.

“With the closing of two of the state’s four mental institutions, Governor Branstad again acted without legislative involvement. As a result, Iowa now ranks 49th in the country in mental health beds. This is leaving vulnerable Iowans out in the cold, because the alternatives the Governor has proposed aren’t actually available today.

“As a State Senator, I will fight to make sure the legislature has a stronger voice, so that no Governor can cause these kinds of problems to Iowa’s healthcare system, or anything else.

Every Iowan deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare, whether they face mental or physical illness. I will fight to fix these two broken systems, so that this can be a reality.”

Jobs and economic development incentives “Iowa has a great opportunity to be a leader in the 21st century economy. Our clean energy industry is already leading the way. We produce more wind energy per capita than any other state – 30% of our power comes from wind, and we also lead the way in ethanol production.

We are an innovative, hardworking people – the envy of many states.

“The key to bring great jobs to our region is by making sure Iowans are prepared to take the jobs. We need to invest in job training programs and expand public-private partnerships, like the programs offered at Iowa Lakes Community college that train Iowans for good-paying jobs in its wind energy program. This is what we need more of: common sense programs that benefit Iowa businesses, Iowa students and Iowa taxpayers.

“Another way to create jobs is to support our Iowa entrepreneurs with their start-ups through mentorship and education programs that provide advice, guidance and venture capital.

“We also have to make companies want to come to Iowa. Providing them an educated workforce is one the biggest parts of that, but we should also focus on building our communities so that companies want to be here. That means providing a healthy environment, with clean water and air, recreational trails, arts and culture, good schools and health care.”

Eminent Domain “Far too often, eminent domain is used by private companies to enrich their company’s bottom line, instead of following the original purpose to use it only when it truly benefits the majority of people. The use of eminent domain needs to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure that it is truly in the public interest.”

Public Safety “I know how important it is to keep our communities safe. My husband was an Algona police officer for 30 years and Chief of Police for 25 years. My son has served in the River Falls, WI Police Department for six years. Both of them are avid hunters and sportsmen.

When my son was home last weekend, he hunted in the morning, came back, and hunted in the evening. My sister-inlaw is also an avid hunter and an expert skeet shooter!

“A number of years ago, while on our way to celebrate Christmas with family in Kansas, my husband received a phone call that every police officer dreads: there was a fatal shooting in Algona, and we needed to get back immediately. It turned out to be worse than that. A family member murdered his entire family with a carbine semi-automatic weapon.

“I am in favor of second amendment rights but understand that sometimes it endangers public safety. This problem should not be a partisan issue, but a public safety issue that needs careful consideration on both sides as to what is best for the majority of Iowans.

“Law enforcement will have no bigger champion than me in Des Moines. I will also make sure they have all of the resources they need to keep us safe.”

Other comments: “There are a lot of issues that require us to come together in order to find solutions. As your State Senator, I will be an advocate for programs and policies that will solve problems. I want to be a State Senator who gets things done and makes the lives of my fellow Iowans better. It is not about what

Spencer Armstrong carries for a first down against Riceville last Friday night.

Wednesday, October 19, 2016 • 9

Noah Paulson rushed for 40 yards last Friday night in Buffalo Center.

North Iowa falls to Riceville in last home football game The North Iowa Bison hosted the Riceville Wildcats for their final home football game of the season last Friday, Oct. 14, in Buffalo Center.

The Wildcats got off to a wild start in the first quarter, as they scored on the game’s opening kickoff and then recovered their subsequent onside kick to put up a second touchdown before 30 seconds had passed on the clock. The Bison responded with a touchdown on their first real possession of the game, but the Wildcats scored three more times in the first quarter to effectively put the game out of reach for North Iowa. The final score was 71-34, favoring Riceville.

“First, we came out a little flat, and you can’t do that against a team as good and as powerful as Riceville,” said Bison Head Coach Graig Eichenberger. “They scored on the opening kickoff and then recovered

an onside kick and ran it right at us to go up 16-0. After that, I feel like we woke up a bit and started to play a little better. Our offense was able to move the ball effectively, and when you are able to efficiently run the ball, you can pass when you want to; not when you have to. After a few good runs; Spencer hit Austin on a 35 yard pass for our first score.

“On defense, we did not have an answer for Riceville all night,” said Eichenberger. “They were just too powerful for us. We worked on leverage and tackling during the week, and I do feel that we did a better job at it this week then last, but the truth of the matter is that Riceville is just bigger and stronger than us across the board. Like all season, we were able to do some things offensively – we just need to be better defensively. We can score on most teams we play; we just need to do it more consistently and we need to

Lexie Arnevik recorded six digs for North Iowa last Thursday against Northwood-Kensett.

Ladies go 2-3 at home tournament

The North Iowa Lady Bison hosted the North Iowa Volleyball Tournament on Saturday, Oct. 8 in Buffalo Center, where they went 2-e for the day. The Lady Bison won matches over West Hancock and Newman but dropped matches to North Butler, Estherville Lincoln Central and West Bend-Mallard.

“The girls played well all day. We had a lot of evenly matched teams, which made for some very competitive games,” said Lady Bison Head Coach Sharla Hassebroek. “We lost some tough games in the third set by just a couple points with West Bend-Mallard and the tournament champs, North Butler. It’s hard to keep losing those close ones, but I know it’s making us better. The girls never gave up and battled tough to the end. We beat Mason City Newman and West Hancock in two sets and ended up losing in two to Estherville-Lincoln Central.”

Stats for the day included Kendall Melz scoring 39 kills, followed by Kenzie Bengtson with 23 and Rachel Hassebroek with 15. Bengtson served 12 aces for the day.

“All around, we had a good day, and we continue to be very proud of our girls and their hard work and team spirit! We would like to thank the community for coming out to support the girls. Also, a huge thank you to the parents, JV/JJV girls and the school/janitorial staff for all your organizing and hard work the day of the tournament. It was a very good fundraiser for the volleyball program,” said Coach Hassebroek.

Last Tuesday, the Lady Bison hosted Northwood-Kensett for their last one-on-one match of the regular season. Both teams fought hard in a closely matched contest that went to five sets, as the Viking narrowly prevailed, 3-2. Set scores were 2325, 25-23, 25-20, 19-25 and 14-16.

“We knew it would be a battle, as both teams are very evenly matched,” said Coach Hassebroek.

“The girls played so well for a string of points and then it would

“Our defense was tough – we had a ton of digs, and we recorded six blocks for the night,” said Coach Hassebroek. “Four of our girls were in double digits in kills. Rachel Schutter had 48 assists, which is a personal best for her. We struggled serving, which is different for us – serving is usually our strong suit.

We missed 15 serves on the night.”

Kill leaders for the night were Bengtson, Melz and Rachel Hassebroek with 12 each, followed by Jenna Berschman with 11. Rachel Hassebroek served 26/29 with three aces. Rachel Schutter was the only Lady Bison to go perfect at the serving line, as she served 13/13.

“Overall, I am happy with the girls’ effort and never-give-up attitude,” added Hassebroek. “As we look forward to Regional play, my hope is that we decide to peak at just the right time!”

Two runners earn All-Conference honors at Mason City North Iowa’s Mia Blodgett and Sam Hassebroek are both All-Conference runners for the 2016 cross country season. They were both named to the Second Team All-Conference for their finishes at the Top of Iowa Conference meet in Mason City last Thursday, Oct. 13, where Blodgett placed 25th in the girls’ race and Hassebroek placed 20th in the boys’ race.

The Lady Bison took sixth place out of nine schools competing in the West Division, with 153 points. The boys’ team was incomplete.

“The girls came out and performed how we expected for the most part,” said North Iowa Head Coach Jonathan Potter. “Mia led the way with her Second Team All-Conference finish. She placed herself in position early and really worked hard throughout – making a dive at the line to edge a runner from Eagle Gove. Faith, Kenzy and both Samanthas posted their second best times of their careers. Rian ran well, coming back from mononucleosis, which has robbed her of a lot of her conditioning.

“Both boys posted quality efforts today,” said Potter. “Sam earned

Jayda Taha led the North Iowa Middle School girls with her time of 14:57 at last Thursday’s conference meet.

Second Team All-Conference honors for the third time in his career.

He went out a bit more conservative than previous meets and looked stronger in the middle because of it. Jordan has closed the season out well – dropping his time significantly the past two weeks – and just as

importantly, he has figured out how to hurt in the middle of the race and still have enough left to finish.

“This was the junior high’s last night of competition, and I want to compliment them on coming out and being part of our team,” said Coach Potter.

“It is a challenging sport. Hopefully

the personal successes that they experienced will ignite and fuel their love of running and competition.

“Overall, this was an excellent ‘big meet’ test for our kids,” said Potter.

“Experience with pressure situations is something that will be valuable with only one meet guaranteed

Bergeson named to Central Lyon Hall of Fame

Keri Bergeson of Buffalo Center was inducted to the Athletic Hall of Fame at Central Lyon High School on Friday, Sept. 30, during Homecoming festivities at Central Lyon.

Bergeson, who serves as the principal at North Iowa High School, was honored for her achievements as a Central Lyon volleyball and basketball player during her time in high school.

In volleyball, she was an honorable mention all-conference selection as

a junior and a first-team selection her senior season. During her senior season, Bergeson ranked sixth in the state for kill proficiency and ranked eighth in blocks. She holds the Central Lyon records for blocks in a single season and in a career.

As a basketball player, she was a second-team all-conference performer as a junior and a first-team all-conference selection as a senior.

She was an honorable mention allstate selection and was named to the

first team all northwest Iowa. As a six-on-six player, Bergeson averaged 35.4 points per game, ranking her 28th in the state. She still holds the Central Lyon record for most points in a game at 63 and most career points with 1,708.

Bergeson played basketball collegiately at Wayne State before transferring to South Dakota State University. She began her career in education as a teacher before becoming a school administrator.

The North Iowa cross country team competed at the Forest City Invitational last Monday, Oct. 10, in their first of two meets for the week.

Thirteen schools fielded runners, as the North Iowa girls took eighth place, while the boys’ team was incomplete.

Mia Blodgett led the Lady Bison squad, as she took eighth place to earn the only medal of the day for North Iowa.

“This was a good tune up for our conference meet. There were many positive performances on a nice afternoon for distance running,” said North Iowa Head Coach Jon Potter.

“The girls were led by Mia, who turned in another excellent effort placing eighth in a talented field and beating many quality runners in the process. Faith got out quickly the first mile and ran a lifetime best in the process – she’s done a nice job improving this season. Kenzy and both Samanthas posted personal records by good margins; with Kenzy running 3:30 faster than ever before.

“The boys were led by Sam’s elev-

enth place finish; he went out quickly and battled hard to maintain his placing,” said Potter. “Jordan has made great strides this season – breaking 19-minutes is great – but he just has been racing more aggressively the past two weeks. Kevin also posted a lifetime best today, which is nice that he’s heading in the right direction.

“This meet was good to see where we sit in the conference,” added Potter. “With only ‘big meets’ left, it was important for the kids to come out and compete at a high level. If we can stay healthy and compete as we have all season, both the conference and state qualifying meets will not be disappointing.”

Tips for managing and minimizing post-harvest field ruts More often than not, harvest will yield field ruts in addition to grain, especially after Iowa’s record-setting September rains. Before managing these ruts with tillage, farmers should consider several factors, said State Agronomist Barb Stewart of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Des Moines.

Before performing any tillage, first double check if this operation would still meet highly erodible land conservation compliance requirements.

“When in doubt, please visit your local NRCS office,” said Stewart.

Second, wait as long as possible to start tillage operations, so the soil can dry out as much as possible. Perform tillage operations when the soil at or just above the tillage operating depth is dry enough to prevent soil smearing and compaction. Iowa State University Agricultural Engineer Mark Hanna recommends the following for assessing soil moisture conditions: Collect a handful of soil from an area between ruts and two inches above the operating depth of the tillage tool and form it into a ball. Then, throw the ball of soil as if throwing a runner out at first base. If the ball stays mostly intact until it hits the ground, the soil is too wet to till.

Take a similar soil sample in your hand and squeeze the soil in your fist and use your thumb and forefinger to form a ribbon of soil. If the ribbon

extends beyond 2-3 inches before breaking off, the soil is too wet to till.

Third, consider tillage depth, said Stewart.

“Deeper tillage and more aggressive operations are likely to damage soil structure, ultimately leaving soil susceptible to further compaction,” she said. On sandier soils, tillage should be six to eight inches deep to fill in the ruts. On heavier soils, tillage should be as shallow as possible.

Fourth, target your tillage. If ruts are uniformly distributed across the whole field, some type of tillage may need to be done on the whole field. In many cases, however, ruts are localized and only need localized repair.

Last, but not least, consider planting cover crops after tillage. “The living root of the cover crop will start rebuilding soil structure,” said Stewart. “This will help you get a head start on preventing future issues with compaction.”

While fall tillage can help alleviate the negative impacts of field ruts, the best defense is building soil health and soil aggregate stability. Soil can better resist compaction by eliminating tillage, increasing organic matter content, and maintaining a living root system in the soil for as much time as possible.

For more information about fighting compaction with improved soil health or planting cover crops, go to www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov, or visit your local NRCS field office.

2016 third wettest year on record

The 2016 water year (ending September 30) brought a statewide average precipitation of almost 45 inches – 9.6 inches more than normal. This ranks as the third wettest water year among 144 years of record.

Excessive rains in September over north-central and northeast Iowa resulted in flooding and a record crest along the shell Rock River and the second highest crest on record along the Cedar River.

September rain totals varied from 0.90 inches at Fairfield to 17.25 inches near Nora Springs.

The statewide average was 6.29 inches or 2.91 inches above normal to rank as the wettest September since 1986.

Streamflow conditions remain high for nearly the entire state, and other than a small area of dryness in Southeast Iowa, conditions are fairly wet heading into the usually dry fall and winter months.

Precipitation was below normal in southeastern Iowa and Charles City had the highest water year precipitation total with more than 60 inches. This was easily a record high water year total at that location.

Josie Oftedahl and her horse, “Sweetness” recently earned the 2016 Senior Barrels points champion for Circle C Rodeo in Alden.

Even on a bad day ‘Sweetness’ and Josie bond

By Alan Van Ormer, Algona Upper Des Moines Editor’s note: Josie Oftedahl is the daughter of Cory and Kim Oftedahl of Whittemore and the granddaughter of Karen and John Oftedahl of Buffalo Center.

Even when both are having a bad day, Algona High School junior Josie Oftedahl and her horse, “Sweetness” seem to have the right connection to make it through.

Both were on the same page to help Oftedahl capture the 2016 Senior Barrels points championship for Circle C Rodeo in Alden.

Oftedahl was only one point ahead going into the final two days in an event Sept. 17-18. The first night she and “Sweetness” finished first, and they were two points ahead. The second night the duo finished second.

She was the overall points winner for the season by one point.

“There was relief. There was excitement. I was like ‘Hey, finally,’” she said. “Those were my expectations. ‘Sweetness’ actually got sick during the event. I actually thought I wasn’t going to win.”

Her mother, Kim, was excited after her daughter won. “At the end when she was ahead by one point, it was kind of nerve wracking,” she said. “Then you have the radio announcers announcing in a way to make it interesting for the crowd. But it makes the girls nervous.”

Oftedahl received her first horse when she was 10. She would ride horses every day and enjoyed spending time with horses. Oftedahl started barrel racing at fun shows at fairs and then moved up to local jackpot shows competing for money. Then she became involved in series barrel racing.

Her mother, Kim, said seeing her daughter barrel race is fun, entertaining and a good time for the family. She said Josie had it in her when she was growing up. “When she was really young, she loved everything about horses.”

Josie, whose parents Cory and Kim Oftedahl live on a farm near Whittemore, said she got excited about barrel racing from an active barrel racer, Fallon Taylor. Taylor is a seven-time NFR

(National Finals Rodeo) qualifier and 2014 World Champion Barrel Racer.

“She used to have a horse named ‘Sweetness’ and I thought that was a cool name,” Josie said. “Fallon Taylor is my idol. She is very smart with horses and knows what she’s doing.

She is really confident when she rides. I take some of the things she does and try to make it my own.”

Josie said she enjoys barrel racing because of the adrenaline and the excitement when racing on her horse.

She has found that the best technique for barrel racing is making sure to have a smooth pattern and making sure the horse is feeling good so it is running its fastest. The difficult part is connecting with the horse.

“You are dealing with two minds,” Josie said. “I spend a lot of time with her. I have had her for a couple of years. I know her very well, and she knows me.”

To connect with “Sweetness,” Josie keeps working with the problem until she finds a solution. “Training is hard. I feel exhausted,” she said. “I usually try to ride her a few times every week. Once a week is a training ride, while other times are trail riding. I need to refresh her every week with the trail ride.”

“Sweetness” is a red sorrel that stands 14.3 hands high. “She is very fast. She is very energetic,” Josie said. “Sometimes she has that wildfire look in her eyes.”

“Sweetness” has had an impact on Josie. “She has shown me how to work hard, function and think quickly, because you don’t have even a second to do everything,” she said.

“I keep on trying and am persistent.”

She feels her strength is her understanding of horses. “Even though it is tough and the horse is being annoying, it makes me feel good to overcome an obstacle,” Josie said.

Josie continues working on having smooth runs around the barrel.

Next up for Josie is participating in larger rodeos. “I want to be a professional rodeo rider,” she said. “It is going to take a lot of hard work, learning and persistence.”
