As federal regulations push disability services to be in compliance for Medicaid funding, small town communities face difÀculties with new “integrated” practices

NEWS Supervisors propose $3 million in rebates to NEW Co-Op

BY ETHAN STOETZER or 35 years, Tom Johnson, 58, Hampton, has worked at the Access, Inc. “workshop,” picking up Monday, Wednesday and Friday shifts. On other days and times, Johnson can be found mowing lawns and shoveling snow, completing small tasks at warehouses and finding small jobs at local Hampton business. “I need more money to live off of,” Johnson said. When he’s not working, Johnson can be found at local eateries and on the main street, talking to strangers, asking if there’s anything he can do to work. For Johnson, an intellectually disabled resident of the community, job opportunities are hard to come by. He relies on his three days at the workshop to both keep himself busy, and

earn extra money. But on Dec. 31, 2016, the Access “Workshop” will close its doors and discontinue the prevocational program, leaving many, like Johnson, without a source of income. In accordance with federal regulations that came into effect in March 2014, states across the country have passed down legislation for mental health care facilities to close their segregated programs in favor of more integrated programs, in order to receive Medicaid funding. According to the Iowa Home and Community-Based Services Settings Statewide Transition Plan, the purpose of these regulations is “to ensure that individuals receive Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) in settings that are integrated in and support full access to the greater community.” See ACCESS: Page 3

CAL HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMANCE DISTRIBUTION

Refer to Report Card for more graphs in this issue. Page 2. CAL Community High School is in bottom 13 percentile when it comes to school performance. The report card system is graded on a bell curve, with most schools scoring in the acceptable and commendable range (the middle of the pack). CAL High is on the lower end of the curve. The total grade is based off weighted measures, with proficiency weighted the highest at 22.2 percent, with college and career ready growth, annual expected growth, college and career readiness and graduation rate, weighted at 11.1 percent. Staff retention and attendance are weighted at 5.6 percent. The data is based on students in grades 10 and 11. The No Child Left Behind Act didn’t include ninth grade in its calculations. Grade 12 isn’t included in the tests because the Iowa Assessments don’t test that year. Each test is conducted for the next year (ninth graders test for tenth grade, tenth graders test for eleventh grade, etc.).

BY ETHAN STOETZER Following the recent completion of the Iowa Living Roadways Community Visioning Report for Hampton, and the Hampton City Council’s recent discussion on sidewalk ordinance enforcement, the governing body offered solutions to the growing concern of the condition of the town’s sidewalks. The report, conducted by the Iowa Living Road Ways program, in conjunction with Iowa State University, surveyed several focus groups in Hampton, and concluded that “every focus group identified sidewalks as a barrier to getting to everyday places…All groups think the existing sidewalk needs to be repaired. The parents and actives pointed out that there are no sidewalks to Harriman Park.” Mayor Brook Boehmler explained that previously, the town’s sidewalk ordinance hasn’t been strictly enforced, which contributes to the state of the town’s sidewalk system. As the report confirms, paved walkways are of major concern to the town. The issue facing the council as part of its priority projects plan, is how to address the condition of the sidewalks, and where to begin. Previous options included enforcing by quadrants, route specific sidewalks or simply enforcing the ordinance with notices, citations and fines.

Pralle said the tile is county property and that the county engineer would be coming out to address who is fiscally responsible for the removal of the blockage. Since the nearly seven inches of rain received in the last two weeks of September, rain fall has been limited, but fear of additional rain on a soaked soil could cause more flooding.

BY TRAVIS FISCHER Everybody has had a bad day. Some people’s bad days are worse than others. Some people react to their bad days worse than others. Sometimes people react to their bad days so poorly that law enforcement has to step in. When a person has become a danger to themselves or others, they can be ordered by the court to be taken to a mental health facility where they can get the care and attention they need. This may mean a couple days of observation for them to calm down and get their head on straight, or it may mean addressing some long term issues. But in either case, finding a place for people who need mental health care has become a difficult and time consuming task in recent years as mental health resources have declined across the state, creating a variety of problems for everybody involved in the system, particularly when it comes to emergency committals.

Certified Enrollment holds steady for CAL BY ETHAN STOETZER The CAL School District released its certified enrollment report, in conjunction with its regular board of education meeting on Oct. 10, and numbers show that enrollment is holding steady. Enrollment this year is registered at 261.14 students, up almost a tenth of a percent from 2015’s 261.05. Shared Super intendent for Hampton-Dumont and CAL Todd Lettow said that the marginal increase is due to more students taking courses at community colleges, which the state reimburses the district for. Lettow explained that each student in the district is weighted at one full student. A student who takes a college level course is weighted slightly higher than one student, which is what makes the certified enrollment higher. Lettow also pointed out that the district does not allow a student to take a community college course if it is offered in the district. Whether or not the stable certified enrollment numbers will forego the decision facing the board over

financial stability for the district, Lettow said that it wouldn’t. Had enrollment been reported much higher, then it could impact the decision, but as it stands, the implications facing the district must be handled within the current time frame. In other news, further discussion regarding shared contracts within H-D yielded more results, as the board decided that it would pay 15 percent of the total salary and benefits for the shared positions of the media specialist, TAG instructor and curriculum director, rather than the previous payment of only a portion of the additional stipend of the positions’ salaries. Other measures discussed were the approval of the football field to be used by a semi-pro football team from May through July, for $300 per month. The board also further discussed a policy that would allow high school students to leave the campus early, providing they are in good academic standing, have no disciplinary issues, no late assignments and positive test scores. The board asked Lettow to draft a pilot program.

This score reports the percent of students who met or exceed the college and career readiness benchmark on the Iowa Assessments. A research study was completed to examine and align performance on the Iowa Assessment to the ACT benchmarks which predict success in college. “College ready” means the acquisition of the knowledge and skills a student needs to enroll and succeed in first year courses. In 2015, 57.9 percent of students met the college and career ready benchmark of growth in math, while 41 percent of students met the rate of growth for the college and career ready benchmark in reading. Math saw an increase of 6.9 points form 2014, while reading decreased 6 points. *Note: data for a graduation rate was not taken for CAL High School.

While the city code allows the governing body to enforce fines, there were the questions of how to incentivize the public to pay for sidewalk repair, as the going rate, according to Public Works Director Doug Tarr, is approximately $3,000 for 150 ft. of 4-foot wide sidewalk. One option, proposed by Council at Large Richard Lukensmeyer, is to work with a local concrete provider to provide a discounted rate for concrete for all those who need repairs. The solution would mean that the city would have to know how much concrete would be needed, to put the project out to bid, if it wants to provide a discounted price. The council was more inclined to leave the responsibility up to the individual citizens to replace their sidewalks. The agreeable conclusion for

“Small towns rely on drainage tile that runs from the farms to carry water,” Johansen said. “There’s a lot of trees in the city with roots which grow to the tile. If you notice on farm ground, there’s no trees because the roots would go to the tile.” In conjunction with flooding, the council also entertained the idea to search and purchase a third water pump for the city’s sewer system. During the September rains, the city was able to use a third pump which helped prevent flooding; but in the event that one pump were to break or flooding occurred, the city wouldn’t have instant access to an additional pump.

walk put in on a homeowner’s property, it has the authority to place the sidewalk and bill it back to the resident. There’s also the option of designating a trail to either Shopko or Harriman Park, that would be less financially impactful than a sidewalk, though Highway 65 contains a Department of Transportation right of way that Hampton would have to gain clearance for. The road is also already curbed. Councilman Jim Davies expressed that maybe the city could set aside funds it donates to the chamber in the form of grants, to be held as grant money for sidewalk repairs, but a definitive answer wasn’t reached. The council was in its regular work session. No voting action took place.

Council approved the following measures: • Approving up to $3,500 to be spent on soccer equipment including goal posts and flags. • Approvi ng a stop box replacement. • Approving of examining changing the lock of city facilities with one key that Clerk Melissa Simmons will control copies of. • Approving of e-bills for a fee of $100 per year, for customers to receive their city bills via email. • Approving of a credit card payment system at no charge to the city, but a charge to customers based on amount of payments. The council also approved to

open bids for the purchase of the old city council building for a minimum of $39,900, barring consent of Alliant Energy. Alliant is currently renting a portion of the building for $500 per month. Johansen said that he has received interest from several individuals about buying the building because of Alliant’s renting. This past August, Alliant signed a contract with the city to rent the building, and Johansen said that the company would have to consent to the building being sold to another landlord.

sidewalk enforcement was the “shot gun” method, in which citizens are notified approximately one-to-two years in advance that they must verify that their sidewalks are up to code, and must have them replaced in the time frame provided, before citations will be given. City Manager Ron Dunt said that if the city wants to enforce the ordinance, it must give a significant amount of time so that homeowners can budget out the funds for a sidewalk replacement, on top of its regular budget items. While the strategy of how to enforce the sidewalk ordinance appears to be moving along, there still remains the question of a lack of access to city locations like Shopko and Harriman Park, for pedestrians. The city code, section 136.06, states that if the city wants a side-

Supervisors propose $3 million in rebates to NEW Co-Op BY ETHAN STOETZER The Franklin County Board of Supervisors approved an expansion of the 2015 Co-Op Urban Renewal Area/Urban Renewal Plan with NEW Co-Op, expanding the coverage by 10 acres at the cooperative’s current property on the corner of Highway 3 and Wright Ave. The expansion of the facility will be a $23.5 million feed mill project, to add between 12 and 15 jobs to the area. As part of its expansion in Franklin County, NEW Co-Op has requested of the supervisors that they receive an expansion of the tax increment financing program, currently established as part of the agreement. The supervisors have proposed a $3 million dollar rebate program, valid at five years or at the $3 million max —whichever comes first. The acreage that NEW Co-Op has acquired is assessed at a base tax rate, said Auditor Michelle Giddings. Anything built on the land is an improvement, or “increment,” to be taxed at an additional rate, separate from the base. With the new tax rebate proposal, NEW Co-Op would pay its combined base rate and increment tax to the county, and would be refunded the amount after subtracting the base, until $3 million dollars has been reached, or five years have passed. Tax payments are made twice a year. A public hearing for the rebate program will occur on Monday, Oct. 24 at 10 a.m. for comments on the plan.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2016

MENTAL HEALTH The emergency committal process begins with a call to law enforcement. Perhaps the subject just went through a bad break-up and is acting destructively. Perhaps they have had a little too much to drink at a family gathering and things are getting out of hand. It could be an individual in the middle of intense crisis or somebody with a history of issues that has finally gone too far. Whatever the reason, when an emergency committal is requested a sheriff’s deputy will escort the subject to the nearest emergency room where they can be checked out. From that point on, that deputy is legally bound by Iowa code to remain with the subject until they can be placed in the custody of a hospital with a mental health unit. While the subject is being examined by the emergency room staff, the paperwork for emergency committal begins. Details of the case are given to the magistrate judge for review and, if they agree that the subject is in need of mental health treatment, an order is given for the deputy to transport them to the appropriate facility. However, that order cannot be completed until there is a facility willing to accept the subject. This is where law enforcement runs into the bottleneck. “We run into a problem when it comes to looking for bed space,” says Franklin County Chief Deputy Linn Larson. “The system is not staffed. It does not have enough beds to adequately care for those that are in need.” Bed space, in this case, doesn’t merely refer to an available room with an unoccupied mattress. It means that the hospital must be staffed with nurses and psychiatric professionals capable of evaluating and caring for somebody with mental health needs. In a perfect world, when a deputy brings a subject into the emergency room for committal, the hospital would call the nearest mental health unit and ask them for a bed for the patient. During this time, the appropriate magistrate judge would be contacted to sign off on the court order for committal. Once a bed for the subject is found, the court order would be finished and hand delivered to the deputy, who would then transport the subject to that location and resume his normal duties.

However, with the scarcity of available beds for mental health patients, every step in that process is extended. A deputy may have to wait several hours for a hospital to find an available bed. If the nearest mental health unit has nothing available, emergency room staff must go down the list of the next closest options, making phone calls until a bed can be found. Inability to find a bed quickly not only consumes the attention of hospital staff, but extends the time it takes for the deputy to complete their duty. Moreover, the longer it takes to find a bed, the more likely it is that the bed will be a considerable distance away. Larson says that it’s not uncommon for deputies to transport subjects as far as Davenport or Council Bluffs, each three hours away from Franklin County. This becomes a six hour round-trip for not just the deputy, but also the ambulance and crew required to transport them. “When one of our two ambulances in the county are out on a transfer, that’s a problem,” says Larson. Once at the receiving hospital, deputies can face additional delays as some hospitals won’t accept mental health patients without doing in-house examinations, even if the subject was already examined. Depending on how busy the hospital is, these additional tests can take several more hours. In addition, if the subject has committed a crime during their mental health crisis, a deputy will be needed to transport the subject back for their hearing, adding another multi-hour round trip to their duties down the line. The time it takes to process an involuntary committal from start to finish often consumes the bulk of an eight hour shift. In more extreme cases, it has taken as long as 59 hours to get somebody the care they need. The difficulties in finding bed

In a 2016 study from the Treatment Advocacy Center, Iowa ranks 51 in the nation for state hospital beds. Since 2010, the state has gone from 149 state hospital beds to 64, leaving two beds for every 100,000 people. space for mental health patients isn’t just a logistical issue for the Sheriff’s department, but a financial one as well. Needlessly tying up a deputy for six or more hours means not only does the Sheriff’s department pay for an otherwise out-of-commission deputy, but they must also bring in an off-duty officer to fill in for the occupied deputy. If no replacement officers can be found, that leaves a gap in the protection of the rest of the county. Every hour spent sitting in a hospital or driving halfway across the state is an hour that a deputy is not available to respond to other emergencies. “It becomes a nightmare issue for us,” says Larson. “We can have a lot of people on the road. But even fully staffed we can run out of people.” Adding to the frustration is the fact that hospitals are not obligated to take committals. Larson says that it is difficult to find beds for subjects that are belligerent, which can often be the case when handling an involuntary committal. “Not everybody is happy to go to the hospital,” says Larson. “Sometimes it does require people to physically restrain them.” Subjects that have been drinking can also be difficult to find beds for. Larson says that hospitals will sometimes make his deputies wait

until the subject’s blood alcohol level has dropped before accepting them. “A lot of medical facilities pick and choose who they take,” says Larson. “We have no recourse. There’s no way to check that. We have to keep going down the list.” The difference in acceptance policy is different from hospital to hospital. Where some are particular about which patients they accept, others have become a reliable resource for law enforcement. Larson sings praises for Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames as an example of a mental health unit that works with law enforcement to get people the care they need quickly. “Ames is a shining light,” says Larson. “The only time that they’ve turned us down is when they are full.” Some steps have been taken to speed up the committal process. Last year the state launched the CareMatch database, which syncs up the state’s mental health units to show in real time how many beds are available and where they are. However, Franklin County Magistrate Andrea Miller says that hospitals either aren’t using the system or don’t update it frequently enough for it to be useful. As the magistrate that signs off on mental health committals, Miller shares the frustration that law enforcement has with finding beds for patients and she is far from the only one. “That is the frustration throughout the state. There just aren’t enough beds available,” says Miller. “I know that the legislature has tried addressing this issue, but nothing that they have changed has made a dent in the issue of not having beds.” The number of available beds in the state has been on a steady decline for years, but a recent push by the state government to close staterun facilities has exasperated the issue. In a 2016 study from the Treatment Advocacy Center, Iowa ranks 51 in the nation for state hospital beds. Since 2010, the state has gone from 149 state hospital beds to 64, leaving two beds for every 100,000 people. “Those beds are gone and we don’t have fewer people,” said Miller. “Iowa somehow needs to attract more professionals in the line of

mental health.” In 2015, Governor Terry Branstad unilaterally shut down two state hospitals, one in Mount Pleasant and another in Clarinda. The decision resulted in a bi-partisan attempt from the state legislature to re-open the facilities, however that bill was vetoed by the Governor, anticipating that private organizations and community services would pick up the slack. “Not only did they close beds, they closed the only facilities that specialized in psychogeriatrics and substance abuse,” says Russell Wood, Community Services Director in Franklin County. Wood says losing mental health care for the elderly and substance abuse specialists affects two large Iowa demographics, resulting in an increased strain on hospitals that are less equipped to effectively treat those specific needs. Instead, the state is continuing to shut down mental health units. Earlier this year the governor ordered the closure of 15 beds at the Independence Mental Health Institute. These beds were part of the Psychiatric Medical Institution for Children unit. Juvenile cases are even more complicated than normal committals. With fewer facilities staffed to handle juvenile committals, Larson says that his deputies can often spend twelve hours just finding a bed for a juvenile subject. Like law enforcement, the strain that the lack of state beds has on the mental health system is also a financial issue for hospitals, particularly if the subject is on Medicaid. Once accepting a patient, hospitals are legally required to keep them, but Medicaid will only pay for medically necessary treatments. This leaves hospitals effectively eating the cost of caring for patients for weeks or even months at a time. It’s not all bad news for the state’s mental health system though. In place of hospital rooms, community based alternatives are cropping up to handle acute and long-term needs of people who need help. Wood says that Hope Wellness Center in Woodward is developing a Crisis Stabilization Unit where people in need of mental help can stay for up to five days for no charge so long as they aren’t in imminent danger. For people capable of realizing

that they need some help, it is a resource they can use before a bad day becomes a dangerous one. On the other end, Wood says that transitional living centers are being established in Iowa Falls, Newton, Norwalk, and potentially in Ames. For people with nowhere to go, these facilities will help arrange low income housing, therapy, benefits, job placement, and community placement to get people back on their feet. “It costs a lot less and it’s more therapeutic to provide services in your community than in an institution,” says Wood. It is hoped that these kind of resources can alleviate the demand for bed space, either by giving people a place to go before intervention is needed or reducing the time they spend in a mental health bed. By expanding community based resources, it is hoped that the stigma of mental illness may fade away as well, encouraging people to get help before they run into a crisis. “People, unfortunately, make a lot of poor choices when they’re in crisis,” says Wood. With little hope of reopening the state-run beds, a focus on community based preventative measures seems to be the direction that the state legislature is moving as well. “I think the goal is that we ultimately have more beds throughout the state at the sub-acute level for intervention,” says Iowa House Majority Leader Linda Upmeyer. “Then hopefully it won’t rise to the level where law enforcement has to take care of them.” At the legislative level, Upmeyer says one of the biggest challenges is the lack of mental health providers. A variety of strategies have been attempted to attract mental health professionals to the state, but few seem to work. “It’s a tough one, and I think it’s shared in many states across the country,” says Upmeyer. “We’re very interested in trying to find solutions.” For Deputy Larson, he’s hopeful that more preventive measures will help alleviate the demand for bed space, but he’ll believe it when he sees it. Regardless, he still insists that more attention should be given to increasing the number of beds. “I hope it works,” says Larson. “But there needs to be more beds in the state.”

ACCESS Jenny Backer, Executive Director of Access, Inc. said the program is a “prevocational program” that teaches those with mental and intellectual disabilities, or those recovering from mental injuries, basic work related skills such as showing up on time, following directions and communication, in preparation for life in the community. “The end goal is to work in the community,” Backer said. Public Information Officer for the Iowa Department of Human Services Amy McCoy said that the setting for the prevocational services are also called “sheltered workshops,” which function as segregated facilities in a community, in which those with disabilities learn these skills, isolated from the community at large. “Sheltered workshop services have been an important part of the history of providing activity and some income to Iowans with disabilities,” McCoy said in an email. “But, these workshops are done in segregated settings and often require the individuals to perform repetitive or menial tasks for low wages. Following federal legislation and a Supreme Court decision, the movement now is to encourage persons with disabilities to work in integrated settings and learn skills that match their individual abilities while being paid wages that better support them.” The sheltered workshop at Access currently has a contract with the Sheffield company Sukup, providing work in the form of sorting small parts and packing them, Backer said. Access also has an upto-date sub minimal wage certificate, which allows Access to pay at a piece rate for the work the clients perform, which usually registers at less than the federal minimum wage at $7.25 per hour. One of the landmark cases that encouraged government regulation

of service providers was Olmstead v. L.C., in 1999, in which the Supreme Court ruled in favor of two Georgia women who were under institutional care, who wanted to be released into the community, stating those with disabilities must be provided services in the most integrated setting possible, if they so choose. Many questioned how far the ruling reached, but questions were answered as the government stressed integrated employment as national policy; however, not much was done to enforce it until 2014. “I understand where they’re coming from with the rules and understand why they want these services integrated,” Backer said. “It makes sense but there’s definitely going to be gaps in services. When you live in rural Hampton, and trying to find jobs for several people, that’s going to be difficult.” A total of 25 clients are currently part of the sheltered workshop program and receive services. Those who are displaced will have the opportunity to work at Access’ additional prevocational program, The Market Place, located on Main St. The Market Place is in compliance with federal regulations because it is a retail shop located within the community, with a mixed employee staff of those with disabilities and those who do not, who are able to freely interact with the public. There are currently 17 clients involved in the program, and a portion of them also work at the workshop. Backer said that the decision of what to do after the workshop closes will be left up to clients and their families and caretakers, about what services they want to receive. The additional option for most will be day-habilitation, in which clients will receive in-home care that aides in teaching how to clean and run a household, as well as performing daily activities in

the community. Johnson said that without the workshop, he will have to go into day-habilitation, and said he didn’t want to go, due to the fact that he would just “play games and watch movies.” McCoy said that displacement could happen with any services with economies of scale, but that doesn’t mean that there shouldn’t be a stride for “as much integration as possible.” “If you’re a parent with an adult child with a disability, and they’ve partaken in the sheltered workshop for many years, this can be a very difficult change for them, and we recognize that from our perspective,” McCoy said. The caveat in the regulation is that service providers must comply with the regulations only to receive funding from Medicaid. Funding could still be made available from other sources, such as the Mental Health and Disabilities Services Regions, of which there are 14 in the state. These regions are the conglomerates of counties that pull resources together to provide services in their particular region. Theresa Armstrong, Bureau Chief in Mental Health Disabilities Services division of the IDHS said that if these regions saw fit, they could choose to add more money to supplement these prevocational programs; Medicaid doesn’t fund the program, but rather funds the service. In order for Access to make the workshop compliant, the program would need to hire an integrated staff, as well as relocate. The program also would have to be re-

structured to function as temporary employment, in order to be compliant. For clients like Johnson, the workshop serves as a permanent source of income. Backer said that Access wouldn’t be able to meet the regulations. With the decision final and the result imminent, Johnson remains unsure of what will come next, just as others in his position. The lack of hours will create a void for them as well as a lack of income to maintain their lifestyle. Johnson describes himself as a hard worker, and hopes that there is work for him elsewhere.

CHRONICLE EDITORIAL

Chronicle Staff

Warehouse closing sheds light on federal regulation of mental health programs Since 1976, Access, Inc. has been providing its prevocational workshop program to clients in Franklin County. The program has provided those with mental or intellectual disabilities, or those recovering from brain injuries the opportunity to learn common work place and social skills, while offering monetary compensation to those who would not be able to perform in other industries. As The Chronicle has reported in this issue, as of January 1 of 2017, the program will no longer be offered, due to federal regulations implemented in 2014. These regulations restructure what is permissible under Medicaid for covered Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS). Access, Inc. has said that its workshop programming cannot meet the mandates of the federal regulations, requiring that those receiving these prevocational services must be in an integrated environment that creates a mixed environment of those with disabilities, and those who do not. The legislation of 2014 follows the growing trend in the way the federal government treats mental health, with more insurance companies offering access to mental health treatments and care, even pushing to assess how mental health care is used in medical diagnosis. As the general public becomes more and more comfortable and overcomes the stigmatization of mental health conditions, the question of what to do about mental health in our country becomes more imperative in answering. The federal regulations that will close the workshop program are a Catch-22. While it is undeniably understandable that the government wants to stay away from the marred reputations and pasts of asylums and institution, there is also the concern of being without a truly helpful service for those that need it most. No one can argue that prior methods of mental care in this country have led to numerous human rights violations, and proved to be ineffective at managing those with mental disabilities, and it is a big step for the country to be able to recognize the past and improve upon it. However, as The Chronicle has reported, approximately 30-40 people will be without a menial source of income, and be without the opportunity to develop skills in a closed environment, free from external, societal pressures. There are 25 clients of Access, Inc. who will be without this prevocational service, and some of those do not yet have the workplace or social skills to be successful in an integrated work place, leaving only habilitation care. Not to mention the sudden source of income that though not at a federal minimum wage level, still offers the opportunity to earn money. Access, Inc. has a 40-year history with Franklin County. They provide care to over 60 clients and have done so throughout its tenure here. It has done an amazing job in the community; the situation is just a tough pill to swallow. While the move for more integrated care is a successful step in the country, it opens the door to a larger problem in its essence: integration. Federal regulations are mandating integration in areas across the country that are not yet set up to be integrated. It appears that the regulations were passed down to care providers, but not to the communities of these providers. This is an improper balance of responsibility, in which care providers receive more liability, while communities — while mostly not desiring these service providers to dissolve programs — have not yet set up integrated centers or programs of their own to absorb the result of these regulations. Mental health care in the country has a long way to go; and the focus on legislation should be on preparing communities for integration.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Reader says ‘Vote No’ to retaining judges Letter to the Editor If you recall, the Iowa Supreme Court Justices forced down our throats, same sex marriage. People of Iowa wanted to have a say in this through their vote, but were denied. In God’s world, marriage is between a man and a woman for the purpose of creation. Well these three judges are up for election this year, Appel, Cady, and Hecht. It is not that I am against the people who choose to live this lifestyle, which is one percent of the population (minority) — we all make choices. It has been around for centuries (in the closet, wish they would have stayed their behind their closed doors as heterosexuals do). But now it is law, and forcing the issue in my face. I am against the judges for doing this to me and faith-

ful Iowans. Through your vote you too can use your vote now. Around the country, bakers, florists, wedding planners, have been sued, lost their businesses, bankrupted for their principles because of the law we have not had a say in. More of our freedoms lost to bad law. I encourage your vote of “NO” on these three judges on the ballot, Appel, Cady, and Hecht, that we have not appreciated their ruling. I am a Christian. I live in an uncomfortable, (what was wrong is now right and what was right is now wrong) world. I am being forced to accept things which have been wrong to me for so many years. Your vote will count, go vote! I pray God have mercy on us. Karen Zander Latimer

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

THE ALTERNATIVE

Fritz Groszkruger 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.

SUPER HERO RUNDOWN I was planning on doing a column of the noteworthy new shows on the air for this fall’s television season, but having already looked at “MacGyver,” “Lethal Weapon,” and “The Exorcist,” there honestly aren’t enough new arrivals left to make a column out of. So instead, let’s check in on the state of comic book adaptations this week. It’s hard to believe that less than a decade ago superheroes on television were a rarity. For the longest time, the closest we had was a Superman series that refused to put Superman in a costume. Now look at the TV landscape. Four color characters as far as the eye can see. Starting with… • Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. After years of holding back, “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” has finally started doing what people expected them from the start. They’ve got Marvel super-heroes on the show. Not long ago Marvel Studios regained the rights to Ghost Rider from Sony. After two failed movies with Nicholas Cage starring as Johnny Blaze, the most famous incarnation of the character, people have been waiting to see what Marvel Studios would do with the property (my money was on a Netflix original). The TV version of Ghost Rider is Johnny Blaze, but is instead Robbie Reyes, a very recent addition to the lore (and I only just now realized those names rhyme). With only a single 12 issue run to his name, there isn’t a lot to the character, making it easier to flesh out on-screen. There’s already talk of Ghost Rider getting his own spin-off series, but this show has already failed to launch a spin-off once so I wouldn’t hold my breath. • Arrow Time has not been kind to “Arrow.” It may be the progenitor of the CW’s DC’s television universe, but the show has been in a perpet-

AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer ual identity crisis since its second season. Once upon a time, “Arrow” was about a lone vigilante facing off against corrupt businessmen and realistically re-imagined Batman villains. Lately though, nearly everybody on the cast is either a vigilante or working with one. This season there appears to be a shake-up with the cast, introducing a new wave of vigilantes to the mix. I’m not sure that’s what the show needs, but I’ll keep watching anyway. • The Flash “The Flash” may be a spin-off, but it’s safe to say that it’s surpassed “Arrow” in quality. Who would have thought that The Flash would become TV’s most popular super-hero? In the third season of The Flash, it seems that Barry Allen is still messing around with alternate realities. No telling yet who the big-bad of the season is going to be, though one can hope we won’t have three consecutive seasons of Barry going up against another speedster and struggling to get even faster. • D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow Being super-hero shows, “The Flash” and “Arrow” have built up quite the roster of secondary characters. Rather than shelve them in limbo, The CW has given some of the more popular characters a show of their own. (Including Iowa’s own Brandon Routh, who once played Superman and is currently The Atom.) It’d be easy to write off “Legends of Tomorrow” as a B-Team show, but their time travel high jinks were pretty entertaining for their first

season and I don’t see them slowing down for the second. • Supergirl “Supergirl” had a solid first season on CBS, but it apparently wasn’t getting the ratings it needed. Fortunately, Greg Berlanti, who is the show runner for three previously mentioned shows, found a home for Supergirl on The CW. Moving production from Los Angeles to Vancouver might have cut costs, but it also comes with a price. Specifically, the downgrading of Calista Flockhart from the main cast to a recurring character. Still, there is an upside. After a season of off-screen teases, Superman has finally made a full appearance. The new location will also make crossovers with other CW shows easier, so expect fair number of team-ups in the future. • Gotham Over on Fox, “Gotham” remains the most interesting show with the least interesting main character on TV. The drama around Jim Gordon’s journey to becoming the Police Commissioner we know and love isn’t particularly compelling, fortunately the wacky antics of the Penguin, Riddler, and the increasing number of super-criminals more than makes up for it. Outside of super hero fare, there’s also “Lucifer” and “iZombie” drawing inspiration from comic books. Later this season we’ll also see “Powerless,” an NBC comedy about insurance adjusters in the DC universe; and “Riverdale” a CW teen drama based on “Archie Comics.” Not a bad line-up, all things considered. The inner kid in me will never stop being amazed that there’s a super-hero show for every night of the week. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and picked a bad time to start up a Netflix subscription.

Farmers are spending hours in their fields, the leaves are changing colors and the temperature outside continues to cool. Fall is certainly here. The Revenue Estimating Conference (REC) met last week to issue their latest revenue projections for the current budget year as well as the next. The REC is made up of three members, one from the nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency, one from the State Department of Management, and David Underwood (of Clear Lake) who represents the private sector. The REC reviews several economic indicators like the agricultural economy, the labor market, consumer spending, and many other factors. After reviewing this data, the REC projects how much revenue the state stands to collect in tax revenue. At their meeting, the REC made revenue projections for the current fiscal year (FY17), which began on July 1, and the next fiscal year (FY18) which begins July 1, 2017. The REC revised the FY17 forecast down by $71.9 million compared to the March estimate, projecting that the state will collect $7.308 billion this fiscal year. FY18 also saw a reduction, though slightly smaller, of $52 million, projecting total revenue of $7.607 billion next year. The REC largely attributed the reductions to the weakening state of the agricultural economy. Commodity prices are significantly lower than the cost of production, and that has caused many farmers and small businesses to reevaluate their spending plans for the coming year. This has caused a ripple effect in many other industries that rely on the agricultural economy to perform well. Going forward, we will need to find ways to make our REC forecasts more reliable. For the past few years, the REC has made revenue estimates that end up being revised upwards or downwards quite dramatically. The legislature needs data that we can depend on when putting together the state’s budget to guard against dramatic cuts when the economy isn’t growing as fast as projected. Fortunately, Iowa has been able to weather unreliable budget forecasts over the last few years thanks to House Republicans’ responsible budgeting principles. Over the last six years, House Republicans have built the state budget using four common sense principles: • We will spend less than the state collects. • We won’t use one-time funding to pay for ongoing needs. • We won’t balance the budget by intentionally underfunding state programs. • We will return unused tax dollars back to the hardworking taxpayers of Iowa. These are the same budgeting principles that Iowa families and businesses use every day. Government should be no different. Had the Legislature spent to the levels that Democrats were pushing last session, the state would be in a very difficult financial position. We all remember the days of Chet Culver where state spending wasn’t in line with ongoing revenue for a number of years. Those days culminated with across-the-board cuts to education and many services that Iowans count. House Republicans’ responsible approach to budgeting has allowed us to invest in Iowa’s priorities. We’ve been able to put more money into our K-12 schools, Regent universities and community colleges. We’ve invested in public safety, courts and healthcare. We’ve also been able to return more money back to the pockets of Iowa’s taxpayers through a handful of tax relief packages over the last six years. House Republicans will continue a path of responsible budgeting so that small businesses have certainty and families can keep more of their hard-earned money. As always, please keep in touch. I look forward to traveling the district and much of the state continuing to visit with Iowans over the coming months. If you would like to touch base in the meantime, you can reach me at linda.upmeyer@legis.iowa. gov or 515-281-3521.

Fifty Years Ago October 19, 1966 Approximately 125 persons, local residents who are representatives of out-of-town firms and members of the Hampton Chamber of Commerce, were in attendance at a Chamber dinner honoring the salesmen and agents of the out-of-town firms on Monday evening, October 17, at the Hampton Country Club. Although there was no principal speaker for the dinner, impromptu statements by several of the guests and chamber members indicated the event was a success. A chamber spokesman stated that similar events are being planned for the future. Wade Eugene Nolte, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Nolte, was baptized at the morning worship service at the Washington Reformed church Sunday morning. After the services a dinner was held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Nolte. Those present besides the hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Nolte, were Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Nolte and family and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wiarda and son, Jeffrey, all of Ackley. Mrs. Glen I.

Forty Years Ago October 21, 1976 When Herman Voss has a backyard pork barbeque, just about the whole state turns out. That’s not exactly true, but it’s certainly close. Voss is a state champion as far as barbeques are concerned, having won the pork cookout contest at the Butler County Fair this summer then advancing to the Iowa State Fair where he took first place also. Voss’ idea of a backyard cookout involves the entire town of Aredale and anyone else who wants to come. He held just such a cookout earlier this month at the Norge building across the street from his home in Aredale and a mere two hundred people showed up. They came from Aredale, Dumont, Hampton, Sheffield, Dougherty, Bristow, Allison, Mason City, Kansas, and Illinois. Mrs. Karen Beulau of Odebolt spent a couple of days visiting her mother and other relatives and friends in and around Latimer this past week. Her son, Johnny, also spent a couple of days in Latimer. To go along with Franklin County’s recemt “Indian Summer,” the children of Mr. and Mrs. Gary Sheppard, RR3, Hampton, display an array of Indian corn they grew this summer. All of the Sheppards were surprised at the size of this year’s crop as the three largest ones measured from 12 to 14 inches in length. Shown above displaying the big

ears are Christopher, Jennifer and Stephen. Thirty Years Ago October 23, 1986 Aric Nissen, son of Rev. Richard and Carol Nissen of Hansell, will receive Scouting’s highest award, Eagle Scout. For his Eagle service project, Nissen coordinated efforts of other Scouts and their fathers in clearing some 1.8 miles of trails at WKW Park east of Hampton of low-hanging branches and underbrush. At the Belmond Care Center Wednesday afternoon worship service on Oct. 15, Timm Pennings presented a vocal program in honor of the 91st birthday of his grandmother, Mrs. Gladys Pennings, who is a resident there. A delicious birthday cake made by Joyce Wenzel was served to approximately 40 residents. Brad Mulford of Hampton poses with the 10-point buck he took with a bow and arrow Sunday.

Centenarian recognition event in Spencer Oct. 26 One hundred years ago, Europe was embroiled in The Great War, Alaska and Hawaii were still only territories, and the centenarians of today were just beginning their grand journeys. Now, the Iowa Department on Aging and Elderbridge Agency on Aging will be honoring those Iowans 100 years in age and older at St. Luke Lutheran Home in Spencer, on Oct. 26. The celebration will begin at 2 p.m., in the Great Room of the Highlands independent living facility of St. Luke Homes. The event will feature light refreshments, a speech honoring the centenarians and a video showing the recognized centenarians and the Iowa they grew up in. This event gives Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest

and most treasured citizens a chance to be recognized and appreciated for all that they have given to our state and country throughout their long lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so fortunate to have such a large number of centenarians in Iowa,â&#x20AC;? said Iowa Department on Aging Director Donna Harvey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have lived through things many of us have only read about in books or seen in movies; their collective wisdom and experience is an inspiration to us all. We can learn so much from these men and women who have helped make Iowa the great state that it is.â&#x20AC;? Last year, on Sept. 16, 2015 Elderbridge honored nine area centenarians in an event held at the Tompkins Celebration Center at

Friendship Haven in Fort Dodge. Iowa Governor Terry Branstad and Iowa Department on Aging Director Donna Harvey spent the afternoon meeting the honored guests and their families. In addition, 83 other centenarians in the 29 counties serviced by Elderbridge were also recognized and received a certificate signed by the Governor. In total, over 600 centenarians across Iowa were recognized. This year all Iowans who will be 100 or older by Dec. 31, 2016 are eligible to take part. The Governor will be invited to all the regional recognition events held this fall put on by the six agencies on aging in Iowa. However, depending on his schedule, Governor Branstad may be represented by another member

• Open enrollment started Oct. 15 1. WHEN TO ENROLL: There are three enrollment periods during which you can sign up for Medicare. Initial Enrollment - The first time you can sign up for Medicare is called the Initial Enrollment Period. This is a 7-month window that begins three months before your 65th birthday and ends three months after your birthday. If you sign up during the Initial Enrollment Period, you can sign up for a plan without answering any medical questions. General Enrollment Period - If you don’t sign up before you turn age 65 there is General Enrollment Period in which you can sign up between January 1–March 31 each year. Special Enrollment Period - Is only available to individuals that meet certain requirements. 2. BASIC MEDICARE EXPLAINED - A AND B: Medicare Part A helps cover your inpatient care in hospitals. Think of it as hospital insurance. Medicare Part A will help cover your medical costs when you are already sick. This also includes coverage in critical access hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, hospice,

LET FRANKIE OPEN THE DOOR TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUR BUSINESS

and home health care. It does not cover long-term care. Medicare Part B covers preventative care and is medical insurance. Think of Part B as in the word Before. Medicare part B covers the costs before you become sick or injured. Routine check-ups with your doctor are the types of expenses covered by Part B. 3. SUPPLEMENTAL MEDICARE INSURANCE... ...DO I NEED IT? Sometimes there is confusion as to what Medicare will and will not cover. Medicare only covers 80 percent of the cost for Medicare-covered services. For example, if you are hospitalized and leave with a bill of $10,000 Medicare will only cover 80 percent, leaving you with a $2,000 bill. You will have to pay that bill out of pocket. In addition, basic Medicare does not include drug coverage. You would have to cover your medication costs out of pocket if you do not have a prescription drug plan. Types of Medicare Supplemental Plans: Medicare Advantage or Part C: Medicare Advantage plans combine your Part A and Part B coverage and act as your primary insurance. Pri-

vate insurance companies provide the Medicare Part C coverage. They typically include prescription drug coverage. Medicare Supplement or Medigap: These plans are also known as Medigap Plans because they cover the 20 percent of costs that Medicare does not cover. There are different plans that provide different levels of coverage. Medicare Prescription Drug or Part D: plans help offset the costs associated with your medications. There are different plans with varying costs and coverage. Speak with a Medicare specialist in order to help

you find the right plan. 4. MAKE SURE YOUR DR. ACCEPTS MEDICARE: When you enroll in Medicare or any Medicare program, you should ensure that your doctor accepts Medicare insurance and payments. 5. REVIEW YOUR PLAN ANNUALLY: The Annual Enrollment Period each year runs from Oct. 15 – Dec. 7. Call Elderbridge at 1 (800) 2430678 to set up an appointment with a SHIIP Counselor to talk about your Medicare options.

24 Emerging Ag Leaders named for Iowa Corn I-LEAD Class 8; I-LEAD Class 7 Graduates, reflects on last two years Twenty-four men and women from across Iowa have been officially named to Class 8 of the Iowa Corn Leadership Enhancement and Development (I-LEAD) program, sponsored by the Iowa Corn Promotion Board (ICPB) and the Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA). I-LEAD is a two-year program to provide Iowa’s talented men and women with the tools they need to succeed as leaders and spokespeople for the agriculture industry. “Helping identify and mold new agriculturists continues to be tantamount to our industry’s future success,” said Iowa Corn Promotion Board President Larry Klever, a farmer from Audubon. “These individuals have made agriculture not only part of their occupation, but their passion. I-LEAD ensures we have effective ag leaders serving at all levels of our state commodity boards and organizations.” Members of Class 7 of the I-LEAD graduated and received recognition during a ceremony prior to the Iowa Corn Annual Grassroots Summit meeting in late August. Class 7 includes: Elizabeth Burns-Thompson (Polk), Connie Casson (Pottawattamie), Matt Eddy (Polk), Alex Edgington (Mitchell), Michael Fritch (Polk), Drew Gieselman (Linn), Katie Hall-Despins (Polk), Laura Holoukec (Polk), James Jordan (Story), Bonnie Kroneman (Mitchell), Brandon Maier (Wright), Chris Mehrens (O’Brien), Maury Noonan (Cerro Gordo), Sara Ross (Pottawattamie), Jason Schwenneker (Polk), Marcie Stevenson (Story), Adam Theis (Omaha, NE), and Charlie White (Poweshiek) “I-LEAD exposes you to more of the world and provides you tools to be able to listen, learn and confidently share your story with the media, consumers and people from other countries,” explained Michael Fritch of Class 7, a farmer from Central Iowa. “I am more knowledgeable about the issues facing our industry and I am better able to talk to the public and lawmakers about those issues.” The new Class 8 will meet in a series of ten sessions over two years to build practical communications and decision-making skills, develop key contacts in Iowa and beyond, and explore the challenges confronting agriculture and rural Iowa.

Northey comments on J & C Grocery Stores to see Iowa harvest, crop report product changes in future Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October. “Iowa’s corn and soybean harvest is moving forward, but remains fairly slow due to the damp weather and periodic rain,” Northey said. “The 33 percent of corn and 62 percent of beans that have been combined remain behind the five-year average. Several days of dry weather would be very helpful and allow farmers to make significant progress on both corn and bean harvest.” The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia. The report summary follows here: • WEEKLY CROP REPORT Fieldwork was slowed by damp, foggy conditions but farmers were able to make some harvest progress during the 5.2 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending Oct. 16, according the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Many farmers reported waiting for crops to dry down in the field before harvesting and concentrating on corn rather than soybeans. Other activities for the week included fall tillage, manure and fertilizer applications, and seeding of cover crops. Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, four percent short, 82 percent adequate and 13 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated one percent very short, four percent short, 80 percent adequate and 15 percent surplus. Ninety-seven percent of the corn crop was mature or beyond, three days behind last year, but one day ahead of the five-year average. Thirty-three percent of the corn crop for grain has been harvested, four days behind last year and almost one week behind average. Moisture content of field corn being harvested was at 18 percent. Corn condition rated 82 percent good to excellent. Ninety-six percent of soybeans were dropping leaves or beyond, equal to the five-year average. Sixty-two percent of soybeans have been harvested, six days behind last year’s pace. Pasture condition was rated 62 percent good to excellent. Livestock conditions were described as good.

DATE CHANGE FOR GOOD CITIZENS TEA Candle-Stick Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution will hold a Good Citizens Tea at 3 p.m., on Sunday, Nov. 13, at the GAR Memorial Hall, located at 1 Federal Street NE, in Hampton. All members and prospective members will serve as hostesses for the tea and will need to bring a treat to share with guests and members. The patriotic program will be "Meeting Our 2017 Good Citizens." The public is invited to attend and join in honoring the Good Citizen students from the high schools in the surrounding area. Editor’s Note: Due to press time, this change wasn’t able to be made in the Candle-Stick article found in B Section of this week’s paper.

Affiliated Foods Midwest, the grocery supplier for J & C Grocery since 1990, has merged with Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG). The merge will be official on Monday, Oct. 24. The ShurFine label and products are going to be replaced with the Best Choice label and products. Best Choice offers customers the best quality for the best price, and items are equal to or better than the national brand quality. The Best Choice brand products are priced lower than the leading national brands because they don’t carry the advertising and promotional costs that the national GROCERY STORES brands have. The stores are always looking for new products that meet or exceed their standards. Adding new Best Choice products will be an ongoing process to improve the program and meet customer’s needs. The Clear Value and Valu Time products and label are going to be replaced with the Always Save label and products. This brand is an economic alternative for customers who want the best price with consistent quality. J & C Grocery would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. They are both nervous and excited for the change and overall feel it is best for them and for anyone that shops with them. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

How to help seniors working past retirement age According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2015 one in every five American workers will be over the age of 65, and in 2020 one in four American workers will be over 55. Here are a few simple workplace solutions recommended by National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) that will prepare a workplace for an older, healthier, and safer workforce. They don’t cost very much but they can have huge benefits if implemented with input from workers and supported by all layers of management. • Prioritize workplace flexibility. Workers prefer jobs that offer more flexibility over those that offer more vacation days. To the extent possible, give workers a say in their schedule, work conditions, work organization, work location and work tasks. • Match tasks to abilities. Use self-paced work, self-directed rest breaks and less repetitive tasks. • Avoid prolonged, sedentary work – it’s bad for workers at every age. Consider sit/stand workstations and walking workstations for workers who traditionally sit all day. Provide onsite physical activity opportunities or connections to low-cost community options. • Manage noise hazards (including excess background noise), slip/trip hazards, and physical hazards, conditions that can challenge an aging workforce more. • Provide ergo-friendly work environments — workstations, tools, floor surfaces, adjustable seating, install better lighting where needed, and screens and surfaces with less glare. • Utilize teams and teamwork strategies for aging-associated problem solving. Workers closest to the problem are often best equipped to find the fix. • Provide health promotion and lifestyle interventions including physical activity, healthy meal options, tobacco cessation assistance, risk factor reduction and screenings. Implement coaching and onsite medical care if there are a significant number of employees in close proximity to each other. Accommodate medical self-care in the workplace and time away for health visits. • Invest in training and building worker skills and competencies at all age levels. Help older employees adapt to new technologies, often a concern for employers and older workers. • Proactively manage reasonable accommodations and the return-towork process after illness or injury absences. • Require aging workforce management skills training for supervisors. Include a focus on the most effective ways to manage a multi-generational workplace. According to some employers the average age of their workforce going up drives up the cost of their employee benefits. On the flip side they say that older workers are very dependable, have a commitment to their job, and bring some wisdom to the job. These are all the traits you want in an employee. Elderbridge Agency on Aging is here to help older workers. The Elderbridge Employment Specialist helps candidates through the entire job training and job finding process. To become eligible for Employment Assistance through this new program, the individual must be referred from IVRS based upon a documented disability that creates an obstacle to employment and be 55 years of age or over. The job candidate must not be actively involved in any other grant funded employment assistance program such as AARP, SECEP or Experience Works.

AREA RUNNERS MEDAL IN NCC MEETS BY KRISTI NIXON HAMPTON – It was a long time ago that Aubrie Fisher of IF-A/AGWSR ran the Maynes Grove course. Since seven weeks ago at the Iowa Falls home meet, the course was altered a little more than a week and a half ago because of heavy rainfall. The new course was more to Fisher’s liking as she finished third in 20 minutes, 7.10 seconds, ahead of teammate Bethany Lippert to earn a medal in the North Central Conference meet on Tuesday, Oct. 11. “I felt really good and I liked the course,” Fisher said. “It felt like it was easier than the other one, maybe it’s because I’ve run more as the season has gone and I’ve gotten better. My time improved a lot, and I just felt really good, I’m happy with how I did.” Fisher won the meet a year ago as a fresh-

man. This year, she finished behind a Humboldt duo, including champion Bryce Gidel, a freshman, who crossed the finish line in 19:26.71. “Last year I ran well at the conference meet, too,” Fisher said. “I’m happy with how I did, I guess, I was happy how I did and make it again this year. “I was trying to pick off the one in front of me, in second, because I was close, I thought maybe I could close the gap and I sped up, but she did, too, so it was kind of hard. I tried, but couldn’t quite catch her.” Lippert was fourth in 20:38.65, a bit more of a gap for Fisher than she is used to. “I didn’t feel her or hear her (behind me),” Fisher said. “Maybe (she was) 20 seconds (back) because I waited for her at the finish line. She’s usually close, I knew she would be coming soon.”

Behind Fisher and Lippert was Hampton-Dumont junior Patty Teggatz, who earned her second conference medal, after missing last year. Teggatz was only a few seconds off her career-best time, coming in at 20:50.23. “The kids have been running well, improving their times,” H-D coach Traci Moorehead said. “It was a half-minute faster than our home meet. Alex (Thompson) and Parker (Allen) are under 20 minutes, which is good – this is a fast conference.” IF-A/AGWSR’s Brayden Panning also medaled, finishing sixth in 17:55.38 for the top area place and medal winner. Finishing just ahead of Allen again was Clarion-Goldfield-Dows/CAL’s Luke Rapp. Instead of out-kicking him in the end like he did at the H-D Invite, Rapp led the whole race despite some discomfort.

“I think I just drank too much and started out a little too fast,” Rapp said of cramping during the race. “Tried to keep it from there, but I tried to keep up with my buddies, who were ahead of me.” Rapp was 34th in 19:18.58 while Allen was 35th in 19:20.97. Thompson took 39th in 19:51.16. The career-best for Rapp is 19:11. All of the runners and coach Moorehead were looking ahead to this week’s state qualifying meets. The top 15 individuals at each regional qualifies for state as well as the topthree teams. “My goal…my coach did some research, that me and Bethany could be in the 10-12 range,” Lippert said. “My goal is to get in the top-15 so I can make it back to state this year.”

Rapp said he knows he can cut time. “Oh yeah, I feel like in districts, I’ll go a bit more,” Rapp said. “My goal is to get 18:59, 19 minutes. I think if I push a little more in districts, I can get it.” Teggatz is also seeking a return to the state meet after just missing her sophomore year at the Garner Golf Course on Thursday. “Garner-Hayfield, we hope to run our best,” Moorehead said. “If Patty runs a good race time for her, she has a chance to make it to state. The next week of practice we will be doing everything possible to have the team prepare to run their best times. We hope to come out and run a good meet. On the boys’ side, we hope to run our best, all you can ask for.” See NCC MEET: Page 15

YOUTH MOVEMENT ƒ West Fork, Clarksville shuffle underclassmen in at triangular

Floor Covering Sales & Installation ❚

BY KRISTI NIXON SHEFFIELD – Both West Fork and Clarksville volleyball coaches used the triangular at Sheffield on Monday, Oct. 10 as a chance to bring in some younger players for experience. The Warhawks had posted a 2512 win in the opening set against the Indians, so West Fork coach Abbee Dickman wanted to see what her team could look like in the future. “It’s really important, I think,” Dickman said. “Our first match we had a second set and we took out our libero (senior four-year starter Madison Patten). She’s kind of been our God-send in our back row, so just to probably see what she has done and how much it will be removed from next year. It’s going to be a big spot to fill.” The result was some extended statistics for reserves Rachael Jones, Sarah Dusold, Megan Jones, Madisyn Ries and Emily Caspers, younger sister of starter Jacqlyn Caspers. West Fork went 2-0, defeating the Indians in the second set, 25-21 for the sweep. In the second match for the Warhawks, they topped Belmond-Klemme 25-17, 25-14. “(An) ugly 2-0, but with homecoming last week, we haven’t practiced a whole lot,” Dickman said. “We weren’t expecting anything great, so we have to get back into volleyball mode, to be honest it was okay. It was the seniors last time on this court, so I was a little bit hard on them.” Clarksville coach Heather Petersen saw her team play a better second set in both matches despite going 0-2. The Indians also lost to the Broncos 25-12, 25-21. “The second set we were moving our feet and talking more and that is something we’ve been talking to our girls about in practice,” Petersen said. “When we do situational games in practice where we always score to hit, once you hit, you always score for your team. It was all about getting fast on the net and we finally got around to doing it. “Our serves were a lot better today. We’d been missing a lot of serves and that’s been our downfall. We served a lot better. It was just little mistakes, miscommunication in the first game. We had a couple of blocks and dug well.” And the Indians were coming off a 2-2 weekend at the Riceville tournament, something that aided their performance. “That helped,” Petersen said. “Normally, we don’t have a tournament before this since it is a Monday game right off the bat. It’s a hard thing to get into when you don’t have practice or anything and then have two matches right in a row, so it did help to have that tournament on Saturday. We have our last conference match, a makeup, that will help, also. Game-by-game we improve.”

Also benefiting from a call up to the varsity at Riceville was sophomore Mallory Hoodjer. “She’s actually a middle and some right side (hitter),” Petersen said. “She’s coming around a lot for us; tonight we put in the back row to give her a chance there. We were missing Miranda (Vance, who was out sick) or else we would have been front row. She played well.” Both teams only have a few matches left before regional play. Clarksville is at AGWSR and West Fork heads to play Central Springs. “If we play our game, we won’t let anyone take our confidence,” Dickman said. “It has to be our night, everybody on the same page. Girls will be girls.”

The Warhawks enjoyed a 22-6 halftime lead to post the three game win streak – the last time West Fork did so was twice in the 2010 season – when Seth Tuttle was quarterbacking the team. Hall amassed more than 200 yards rushing, including a big 42yard touchdown run early in the third quarter that gave coach Eric Gabe’s team a 28-6 advantage. Officially, Hall had 226 yards and three touchdowns, the biggest a 42-yarder in the first half. Quarterback Jarel Arbegast added 101 yards on 16 rushing attempts, a 6.3 yards per carry average. After Rockford cut the lead in half at 28-14 with 8 minutes, 10 seconds left in the third quarter, the Warhawks capped off the night with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Lukas Wogen to Rylan Fleshner with 1:18 to go. The West Fork defense got to Rockford quarterback Zach Bushbaum for six sacks, including three by Ian Gonzalez, two by Noah Sparks and one by Fleshner. The Warhawks also intercepted him four times – one each by Christian Ames, Arbegast, Jesse Chibambo and Kyle Rooney – to take control of the contest. Rooney also tallied five and a half tackles as did Mitchell Halloran to lead West Fork. Rockford managed to come with a pair of West Fork fumbles that led to one of the Warriors’ scores. West Fork will go have a tough task in order to end the season on a four-game win streak as it travels to Grundy Center (5-3, 4-2) this Friday night as the Spartans are trying to keep their Wild Card hopes alive in Class A. The Spartans currently sit third in the district.

In the words of the venerable Jimmy Johnson, how ‘bout them Cowboys? The faithful in big D were doom and gloom after their quarterback and leader Tony Romo went down with another injury in the preseason, having visions of Brandon Weeden flashing in their heads. Yet Dak Prescott is no Brandon Weeden. Prescott threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns against the Packers on Sunday, on the way to a dominating 30-16 victory. He did throw an interception, yet it was his first of the year to go with seven touchdowns. He is poised, athletic and only getting more confident from week-to-week. Prescott might not even be the best rookie Dallas has. If you haven’t heard, the kid Ezekiel Elliott is pretty good. The rookie leads the league in attempts and rushing yards, with 137 carries for 703 yards. Zeke rushed for 157 yards against a Packers defense who had allowed just 171 yards in their previous 4 games combined. The Cowboys are 5-1 and atop the NFC East going into their bye week. Owner Jerry Jones has stated in the past that once Tony Romo is healthy, he will be returning to the starting lineup. If Romo does, I think it would be a big mistake. Dallas has won 5 in a row behind their stellar rookies. Dak and Zeke are the future in Dallas, and it would be a disservice to them and the team to insert Romo back into the starting lineup. Prescott has earned his place. Let’s be honest, I don’t think anyone would consider Romo elite anyway. He has exactly two more playoff victories than I do, and seemingly can’t stay healthy. If the Cowboys keep Dak as their starter, they can always go back to Romo if he struggles for an extended time, but once Romo is in, there is no going back to Dak.

Who are the Pittsburgh Steelers? After two impressive wins to start the season, the Steelers got embarrassed by the Eagles. Then Steel Town had two more nice wins before getting dominated by the lowly Dolphins 30-15. I can’t figure them out, and with Big Ben having surgery on Monday for a torn meniscus and the Patriots, Ravens and Cowboys coming up, it might be time to get worried if you are a Steelers’ fan. Once again Cam Newton showed his maturity after the Panthers 4138 loss to New Orleans. During his post-game press conference, and after speaking for only 90 seconds, Cam stormed out after not liking a question posed to him. Cam is the supposed leader of the team, yet acts like a petulant child who didn’t get his way. He has immense talent and physical ability, is the reigning MVP and was in the Super Bowl last year, yet can’t be mature enough to last a press conference? We all thought this behavior was behind him last year, but a team that goes 15-1 doesn’t get very many hard questions. The Panthers are 1-5 and not going to make the playoffs this year unless Cam Newton steps up and becomes as good a leader as he is a football player.

Hampton-Dumont’s Cassy Miller sets the ball in front of North Butler’s Nicole Heeren during the H-D Quad on Tuesday, Oct. 11. KRISTI NIXON/ HAMPTON CHRONICLE

H-D 1-2 at home volleyball quad Hampton-Dumont’s Fernando Garcia and Hunter Sutter go after Osage quarterback Drew Olson, sacking the Green Devil quarterback for a 10yard loss in the second quarter of Friday’s game at Hampton. KRISTI NIXON/HAMPTON CHRONICLE

TWIST OF FATE

ƒ Bulldogs go from 22-point lead to crushing loss

BY KRISTI NIXON HAMPTON – Completely in the driver’s seat after taking the second half kickoff 77 yards on 11 plays to take a 22-0 lead, two turnovers and a high snap on a punt completely turned the tables on the Hampton-Dumont football team. Osage scored 34 unanswered in the final 16 minutes, 7 seconds to foil the Bulldogs’ first attempt at a win this season in a 34-22 loss to the Green Devils on Friday, Oct. 14. One of the turnovers was an onside kick recovery that extended Osage’s possession time following a score and turned a 22-0 lead to 2216 in the span of two minutes. “We had come out to begin the third quarter and came down and scored and then had a nice defensive stand and forced a punt,” Hampton-Dumont coach Dan Aalbers said, “and we mishandled the punt; they got the football back and they ended up scoring on that drive. “After that, the onside kick, I thought we were on it, but we didn’t come out of the pile with it and it kind of snowballed from there.” In a stunning turn of events, H-D went from 191 offensive yards in the first half to 96 in the second – 73 of which was on the drive to start the third quarter. Conversely, Osage had just 47 yards of offense in the first half, with many plays going for negative yardage, including a tackle by Ethan Spurgeon in the end zone for a safety on the second play from scrimmage. The Green Devils tallied 137 yards in the second half. Contributing to the H-D second half woes was the fact that Dustin Miller was in street clothes for most of the game and Parker Juhl – who carried the ball 11 times for 54 yards in the first half alone – was also out at the break. “We were down two running backs, we didn’t play Dustin Miller and Parker Juhl in the second half, and we had some people playing out of position for the first time and that was part of it,” Aalbers said, “and I think we had another turnover. “That is the story of the year, when you turn the ball over three times in the second half that is what you reap from that.” The other turnover was actually a high snap on fourth down that went over punter Gus Jacomé’s head, setting up Osage at the Bulldog 14-yard line – a loss of 27 yards.

HAMPTON – Hampton-Dumont managed a lone win at its own home volleyball quadrangular on Tuesday, Oct. 11. After dropping its opening match against Class 2A No. 4 Lake Mills, 26-24, 25-11, H-D won the middle match against North Butler in three, 25-15, 22-25, 15-10. Coach Dave Harms’ team then went on to drop its final match against Nashua-Plainfield 25-17, 26-24. Prior to that night, the Huskies had lost eight in a row, including four at the H-D tournament the previous weekend. But N-P had momentum from defeating North Butler in three and looked fired up. Also at the previous weekend tournament, Hampton-Dumont libero Dakota Sliter recorded her 1,000th career dig. She posted 21 in the victory against the Bearcats and 21

more against Lake Mills. During the win over North Butler, Ana Westhoff put down a teamhigh six kills and was perfect on 11 serves with a pair of aces. The Bearcats were disappointed after coming off of a perfect 5-0 day at the North Iowa tournament to win the title at Buffalo Center the previous weekend. But fell to N-P in three, 26-24, 25-15, 17-15, and dropped the match to Lake Mills, 25-16, 25-11. Lake Mills is the only undefeated team left in the state of Iowa in the regular season at 39-0. North Butler recorded 12 blocks in the three-match swing, including five for Nicole Heeren. Heeren had a big overall night at the net with 10 kills alone against the Huskies, 23 overall.

Four plays later, after three straight incompletions by Green Devil quarterback Drew Olson, he hit Kyle Berge for a 14-yard touchdown pass to tie the score. H-D avoided Osage gaining the lead at the time by sacking Olson on the two-point conversion attempt. But the Green Devils forced the Bulldogs to go 3-and-out again and Jacomé’s punt went out of bounds for only seven yards, setting up Osage in H-D territory again.

Four more plays later and the comeback was complete on a fouryard run for Hayden Meek. Adding insult to injury, H-D went for it on fourth-down-and-two on its next possession after a timeout only to throw a pass incompletion, setting up an insurance score for the visitors. Also going out of the game after breaking up at least one pass by Olson was Gabe Rivera. “I’m not sure what happened to

Gabe – I haven’t talked to the trainer yet,” Aalbers said after the game. “I thought Gabe for his first real varsity action played real well.” The Bulldogs end the year this Friday at Clarion-Goldfield-Dows/ CAL, which suffered an overtime defeat at Forest City last Friday night to fall to 4-4, as the Cowboys have lost four of their last five. “Clarion with proximity and the way the sharing goes, it’s always a good rivalry,” Aalbers said.

Area fishing report for north central Iowa The Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ weekly fishing report is compiled with information gathered from local bait shops, angler creel surveys and state park staff. For current information, contact the Clear Lake Fish and Wildlife office at (641) 357-3517. Clear Lake: Water temperature is around 58 degrees. The fish cleaning station at McIntosh is closed for the season. The bathrooms at Lynne Lorenzen and t he Ve nt ura Jetty’s are also closed. Anglers without a boat can still find some good wading opportunities in early October for yellow bass and walleyes. Try the McIntosh swim beach, off the North Shore on the edge off the rushes or off Farmer’s Beach. Use a jig and piece of cut bait or minnows. Yellow bass, excellent. Try HyVee reef, State Reef, the sandy shoreline near the Ventian Village mouth, McIntosh swim beach, the hump on the little lake out from McIntosh swim beach and the inlet from the Ventura Marsh. Tip a small jig with a minnow or a piece of cut bait and bump it along the bottom. Walleye, fair. Some walleyes are being caught near the Ventura grade. Use jigs and a minnow or cut bait in many of the same areas that yellow bass are biting. Boat anglers may find walleyes near the Hy-Vee reef, the edge of the North Shore Reed bed or the island. Black crappie, fair. Anglers have caught some in the Baptist camp area out near 10 contour. Muskellunge, good. October is usually a good month for musky fishing. Yellow perch, good. Yellow perch are hitting by the grade on 1/16 ounce black leadheads with a piece of cut bait. Lake Smith: Largemouth bass, good. Largemouth are starting to go on the feed with cooler water.

Trim sides to result in long, thin rectangle. Coil length of rind around finger and hold to set shape. Cut one slice from end of marshmallow then cut that round in half to create two half-moon shapes. Gooey edge of each half-moon will stick to top of pear half to serve as critterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ears. Break toothpick in half and place picks in location for critterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes, leaving about 1/4 inch sticking out from fruit. Slice ends off of one grape and place domes over toothpicks to serve as eyes. Using toothpick, make hole in back end of critter to place tail. Stick end of coiled orange rind into hole using toothpick to wedge rind into fruit. Reshape coil, as needed. Note: Remember to remove toothpicks before nibbling.

FAMILY FEATURES

he ultimate kid-friendly snack comes as a package deal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; simple, delicious, nutritious and fun. One option that readily meets those demands are apples, pears and oranges perfectly sized for small hands, mouths and appetites. While Lil Snappersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; smaller sizes allow fresh fruits to easily fit into bento boxes and brown bags for a wholesome lunchbox companion that leaves little waste, a dash of creativity also transforms these fruits into a favorite snacktime star â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from crunchy critters to sweet treats. Available in three-pound pouches and found in the fresh produce aisle, Lil Snappers come seasonally in a wide array of fruit varieties, including organics, grown by a sixth-generation family farming operation, Stemilt Growers. Options range from popular apples such as Gala, Pink Lady and Granny Smith, to delicious Bartlett pears, Bosc pears and more.
