Ground breaking: VT Industries in Holstein broke ground this fall for an 82,000 square foot addition.

The project is slated for completion next June. (Photo submitted)

VT Industries, Inc. expands Holstein manufacturing facility VT Industries is expanding its Holstein architectural wood door manufacturing facility. This fall, ground was broken for an 82,000 square foot addition in an effort to increase manufacturing capacity for flush architectural wood doors. This major expansion comes on the heels of two milestone achievements in 2016: VT’s 60th anniversary and the production of the 10 millionth door.

The 82,000 square foot production addition will accommodate the relocation of veneer produc-

tion line as well as expanding capacity to continue to deliver on VT’s industry leading fixed lead-time strategy and the ability to do higher-end premium flush products and finishes in the Iowa manufacturing facility.

As part of the expansion, VT will also be renovating their existing production facility, constructing a new parking area and adding a building adjacent to the current facility for the automation team.

The expansion is expected to

be complete in June 2017, bringing up to 60 new jobs to the area.

VT is currently seeking qualified employees for a variety of positions including production, automation, and customer service.

“With a strong reputation in northwest Iowa and a commitment to growth and innovation, VT continues to provide excellent employment opportunities as we continue to expand our architectural door operations,” notes Trisha Schmitt, vice president of corporate marketing.

Holstein marketing/branding committee meets

by Kay Hanson The Holstein Marketing and Branding Committee met Oct. 19 at Holstein City Hall with the following present: Renae Blume, Ryan Lacona, Paul Larson, Libby Bagenstos, Tyler Parson, Connie Ludvigson, Amanda Nobles and Kay Hanson.

The first meeting was a brainstorming session. The following lists are in no way exhaustive, but include items, which came up in a very short amount of time. As we continue to meet our lists will become more extensive, while our focus will become more targeted to reach our objectives.

Topics of discussion Why do people who have lived in Holstein most of their lives stay in Holstein? Family, security and safety.

Why did people move to Holstein?

Located on Highway 20, well located, family, job, warmth of people, people are caring, small community but not too small, you can be known but can also maintain privacy, options for things to be involved in, community is open to others, people in the

community have a “we’ll figure out a way” mentality and we are known by how we take care of our fragile citizens.

Housing issues identified: sub-par properties available, no mid-range homes, you have to know someone to find good housing and poor communication to those looking for housing in Holstein as to who to contact.

What sets Holstein apart from other communities? Tax, Rosemary Clausen Center, movie theatre, support for small businesses, grocery store, community center, Tiefenthaler Quality Meats (Best Bacon Award), hardware store, all levels for senior care, emergency response team, Blue Ribbon School (only one in Iowa), increasing retail on Main Street, hotel/event center, Travel Center, VT Industries (major employer), country club/golf course, a strong faith community, financing opportunities, diverse dining options available, funeral home, low crime rate, Avenue of Flags, walking trail, modern park equipment and pool.

Community needs: Low to mod-

erate income housing – for purchase and for rent, daycare, pharmacy and updated pool.

Modes of marketing to focus on: Website, Facebook, Twitter, Google, city brochure, signage, media advertising (radio/television).

Assignments Talk to at least five people from various backgrounds and find out what they like about Holstein and what they would like to see improved. Why are they here and why do they stay here?

Think about ideas for a tag line that we can use on all our marketing venues. Our community tag line needs to be unique and center on the “experience” of coming to or living in Holstein. We are to stay away from generic terms such as: friendly, small town, unique, etc.

Make a priority list of the marketing/branding components: tag line development, brochures, Facebook, web site, signage, advertisements, etc.

The next meeting is Wednesday, Nov. 2, 8:30 a.m. at city hall.

S-C enrollment up, G-H enrollments down Official school enrollments for Schaller-Crestland showed increases, while Galva-Holstein showed a decrease from last year, according to statistics provided by Ridge View Superintendent Jon Wiebers.

Dollar General store to open in Holstein According to a news release from Dollar General, construction is in progress for a new store location at 1609 German Ave. in Holstein. Based on the current timeline, the firm anticipates a grand opening in spring 2017. However, construction progress may alter the final timeline.

The store will employ approximately six to 10 employees, depending on the individual needs of the store. As all hiring functions are managed online, anyone interested in employment may apply for available positions online at www.dollargeneral.com/careers.

The news release states Dollar General is looking forward to offering residents a convenient location to purchase products that

are frequently used and replenished, such as food, snacks, health and beauty aids, cleaning supplies, basic apparel, house wares and seasonal items.

When choosing store locations, meeting customers’ needs is Dollar General’s top priority. The company looks for places where it can offer customers an easy and convenient shopping choice.

Convenience is a major factor in customers’ shopping decisions as Dollar General generally serves customers within a three to five mile radius, or 10-minute drive.

The firm also takes demographic trends, competitive factors, traffic patterns and community concerns into consideration.

Dollar General sells quality

name brand and private label merchandise such as health and beauty products, home cleaning supplies, house wares, stationery, seasonal items and basic clothing. It also sells an assortment of packaged foods, as well as some refrigerated foods and frozen foods.

Dollar General is involved in the communities it serves and is a supporter of literacy and education through the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, which awards grants each year to nonprofit organizations, schools and libraries within a 20-mile radius of a Dollar General store or distribution center to support adult, family, summer and youth literacy programs.

The board is in the process of looking for two people to fill spots on the compensation board.

The board acknowledged receipt of manure management plans from Deron and Tracey Schmidt.

IEDA approves awards to support capital investments The Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) board awarded direct financial assistance and tax benefits to six companies for job creation and expansion projects. These awards will assist in the creation of 198 jobs and will result in $93 million in new capital investment for the state.

VT Architectural Products, Inc.

(VT Industries) is a family-owned and operated business headquartered in Holstein. VT Industries produces architectural wood doors and countertops. The company is proposing a $21 million capital investment project that would expand the current location to accommodate increased production and allow for relocation of existing offices. The company

received tax benefits from High Quality Jobs Program (HQJP) for this project, which is expected to create 60 jobs, of which four are at a qualifying wage of $19.51 per hour.

The board also approved assistance for planned or proposed projects located in Sioux City, Urbandale, Durant, Templeton and Le Mars.

Holstein council approves IEDA application for VTI The Holstein City Council approved an Iowa Economic Development Authority high quality jobs program application for VT Industries, Inc. during a special session Oct. 19.

Rita Frahm of Ida County Economic Development was present and gave a background of the application and high quality jobs program. She is working with Frank Forneris, VTI

expansion project manager on the application. VTI will receive benefits from the High Quality Jobs Program if approved. Benefits consist of $641,451 in 427B tax abatements over a five-year period.

Mayor Connie Ludvigson clarified the program would not require any financial contribution from the city. Frahm stated there would be no cost to the city. Council

member Gross asked when the 60 jobs had to be created. Frahm stated within a three-year time period. Leonard questioned what happens if less than the 60 new jobs are created in the three-year time frame. Frahm said the state would have a clawback provision they could impose. Discussion ended.

Rod Regennitter and James Doxtad were absent.

Letter to the Editor To the editor: My name is Joe Cobb. My family and I live in Silver Creek Township. As some of you know, my family and I restored an old century farmhouse. The reason for this editorial is to talk about neighbors and politicians.

After several years of hard work and just moving into our home, we ind out a turkey site is going in just up the road. Did the owner ask any of the neighbors how they felt about it? No. Around 90 percent of surrounding neighbors and Silver Creek residents signed a petition stating they did not want a turkey barn in their neighborhood, especially since the owner lived nowhere near it, and published it in the Courier.

Numerous meetings were held with Bob invited, as well as many calls to our supervisors, asking them not to support a farmer building nasty turkey barns in someone else’s neighborhood. We were promised we wouldn’t smell them‌..sound like a politician? We smell them. Bob supported the one farmer, not the people he represented.

Enter windmills. We again hear they are planning to put windmills in our neighborhood. Many of us went to a meeting in Ida Grove where our voices were to be heard. Bob wasn’t there. Many of us opposed them, but, with a zoning committee that was made up of those planning to have one built for their bene it, all of our voices went unheard. Now, we have two windmills directly across the road from us, one just 1,500 feet from our front door. We were told we wouldn’t hear them‌..walk out our door; that’s all you hear.

We attended church with this neighbor and considered him a friend; did he ask how we felt about having one that close to our house? No. Does he have one that close to his house? No. We are a family that spends a lot of time outdoors and love our view that is now riddled with unsightly towers and red blinking lights and loud noise.

MidAmerican said they would leave our roads in better condition than they found them‌..take a drive, Bob‌.not so much.

It seems pretty clear that the days of “love thy neighbor� are long gone. Greed prevails. It seems wrong that a candidate for of ice should have to run against the same opponent twice in the same election cycle. Bob is grandfathered in for a pretty good bene its package that is no longer offered. I’m guessing he doesn’t want to lose those bene its. It’s time to move on, Bob. Vote for Drey.

Forty years ago Ida County has inally settled its differences with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The settlement will cost the county $163 for the initial ines that were levied and $200 in additional ines when the county failed to correct violations of OSHA standards before a second inspection. Originally, the additional ines were at $1,780, but OSHA reduced the amount by $1,580 because of the county’s past good performance.

The Holstein United Methodist Church served 1,700 people at its annual turkey dinner Oct. 27.

More than 700 persons came to the church and another 1,000 carryout dinners were served.

Many of the carryouts went out in traditional drive-in style, served to customers who drove to the church on the newly paved alley.

Eighty turkeys were used to feed the community during the event.

Thirty years ago Democrat Jim Clausen of Holstein came out on top Tuesday in a close race for the Ida County Recorder seat against Republican Lucille Ruser of Ida Grove. Clausen gathered 1,665 votes, just 64

votes more than Ruser’s total of 1,601. Clausen will of icially take of ice on Jan. 1, replacing current county recorder Barbara Wright, who announced earlier this year she would not seek another term.

Holstein earned a irst place award and $500 Saturday at the annual Iowa Community Betterment Recognition Day in Ames. The irst place award was for the community’s Homecoming ’86 celebration and successful doctor search project. Sharon Johnson, president of the Holstein Development Authority, was also honored during the event with the Governor’s Leadership Award.

Twenty years ago Ida County voters will have their choice among three candidates for a new sheriff next Tuesday. Candidates include Republican Dave Jensen of Ida Grove, Democrat Dave Schossow of Holstein and no party candidate Marc Hamman of Holstein.

The Ida County Board of Supervisors asked county engineer James Riddle for clari ication on several rumors concerning Riddle and the road department during the Tuesday meeting. Supervisor Jerry Ralston

asked Riddle if there was any truth to the rumor that Riddle had been interviewed for the Monona County Engineer’s position and if he was going to accept the offer. He was also asked to clarify rumors on the hiring of Tom Cooper as a mechanic after he was speci ically told at last week’s meeting not to make any decisions without board consent.

Ten years ago Three Ida County incumbents are running unopposed in the Nov. 7 general election. Allen Hilker of Ida Grove is running unopposed for the District 3 supervisor seat currently held by Jerry Ralson.

Incumbents seeking reelection are attorney Kristal Phillips of Holstein, recorder Colleen Gries of Holstein and treasurer Kay Cork of Ida Grove.

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 socalled moderators.

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

The Alternative 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.

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.

Radke earns certificate from commercial lending school Steven Radke of United Bank of Iowa successfully completed the 2016 Iowa Bankers Association’s Commercial Lending School held Oct. 3-7 in Ankeny.

The school is an intense oneweek program sponsored by the Iowa Bankers Association. The purpose of the IBA Commercial Lending School is to prepare commercial lenders who have not been exposed to formal commercial lending education or lenders who want to broaden their commercial lending knowledge to serve effectively and profitably as commercial loan officers.

This is accomplished by developing a better understanding of the economy and how it affects the lending decision; developing an understanding of how a business is structured and how it competes; develop an under-

standing of the role of company’s management and how to analyze and evaluate that management; develop a thorough understanding and application of basic and advanced analytical techniques and develop an understanding of relationship banking to meet and maintain multiple customer financial needs.

Radke, a native of Galva, has been with United Bank of Iowa for six years. His focus at UBI is assisting customers with ag and commerical loans at the Holstein location. Since graduating from college and moving back to this area, he has also taken on a larger role in his family’s farming operation. This experience helps him understand each customer’s unique situation and help them make financial decisions that are right for them.

Flu vaccination facts Did you know, over a period of 31 years (1976 to 2007) flu-associated deaths ranged from 3,000 to a high of 49,000 people in the United States each year? We hear about the term “flu” every year and in some ways we have become desensitized to the severity of influenza. However, new strains arise every year and even the healthiest individuals can benefit from an annual flu vaccination.

Influenza is a common disease that can lead to hospitalization and serious health implications.

Every flu season is unique and influenza can affect people differently. Annual vaccinations are needed due to changing flu viruses and the decline of the body’s immune response.

Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body two weeks after vaccination. These antibodies provide protection against infection with the viruses that are in the vaccine. Each year, a new seasonal flu vaccine protects against the viruses that should be most common during the upcoming season.

Flu season is the time of year we start spreading germs to one

other – at school, at church and at home. We spend more time cooped-up indoors and the air gets cool and dry. Flu season can begin as early as October and last into May. While seasonal outbreaks typically peak in January, it’s recommended to get your vaccination as early as October.

Remember, it takes time for your body to make the antibodies.

The most common flu shots are vaccines with three or four types of inactivated viruses, which are given to everyone older than six months. Those 65 and older can do a high-dose vaccine. The nasal spray vaccine is no longer recommended because it did poorly in the 2013-14 flu season. Always consult with your doctor to determine the best fit for you and your children prior to getting the vaccine.

Any person six months and older should get a flu vaccine each year. Vaccination is especially important for those who are at a high risk of complications related to the virus, including children under the age of five, adults 65 and older, women who are pregnant and those with chronic

health conditions.

The vaccination lowers the risk of coming down with the flu by about 60 percent this season and could significantly decrease symptoms of the flu if you do get sick. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees when it comes to the flu, and there are other viruses that cause flu-like-illness, but they are not as deadly. The vaccine’s ability to protect an individual depends on several factors, including age and health of the person and the strain circulating in our area. The vaccine is utilized as a safeguard to protect your family by creating antibodies that will in turn help ward off all types of influenza.

It is easy to mistake symptoms of stomach flu for the viral infection known as influenza. However, the two are not the same. Stomach flu is the result of inflamed or irritated stomach and intestines.

This can be caused by a range of factors, including bacteria, viruses or food reactions. Influenza comes with symptoms like fever, congestion, muscle aches and fatigue – and the cause is always the virus.

U.S. 20 construction update The U.S. 20 expansion project requires transitioning traffic to the new westbound lanes from east of Moville to Woodbury County Road L-21, beginning Oct. 31, at 8 a.m., weather permitting, according to the Iowa Department of Transpor-

tation’s District 3 office.

Motorists will experience some delays traveling through the work zone as the contractor transitions traffic staging for the next phase of construction. All lane shifts should be complete by 4 p.m. Oct.

31.

The $19.7 million contract for the reconstruction of the eastbound lanes of U.S. 20 from east of Moville to three miles west of Correctionville was awarded to C.J. Moyna and Sons, Inc. of Elkader.

In accordance with Hilda’s wishes, cremation was arranged without services. Her ashes will be buried in Galva Township Cemetery, next to her husband, Clarence, at a later date.

Hilda Anna Helkenn Beyer was born Feb. 18, 1917, in Galva Township, Ida County.

She was the daughter of John G. and Marie “Mary” Schubert Helkenn, ifth of their 10 children.

She married Clarence C. S. Beyer March 9, 1938, in Ida Grove, and the couple had three children, Jean, Paul and Patti.

Clarence and Hilda farmed more than 40 years in Ida County. They irst, brie ly, farmed on 80 acres in Logan Township, along the south side of Hwy 20.

Then, they farmed a few years on the Helkenn home place in Galva Township. But mostly, they farmed on the Beyer home place in Galva Township, along the

north side of Hwy. 20. In 1981, Clarence and Hilda retired to a home on South Kiel Street in Holstein.

Hilda helped Clarence in farm work, was skilled at sewing clothing for her family and helped provide their food by raising a large garden and many chickens. She was a creative person, and she encouraged creativity in art, music and crafts in her children. She bequeathed to each of her children her love of family and nature.

Clarence died in 1993 and, in 1994, Hilda moved to Wisconsin to be near her daughters.

Hilda is survived by Paul’s wife, Ann, of Michigan and their son, Avery Beyer of Idaho; a daughter, Jean and son-in-law, Gary Ruhser; and a daughter, Patti, and son-in-law, Jeffrey Rostvold.

BATTLE CREEK – Masonic services for Bertrand “Bert” Franklin Eason Jr., 93, of Battle Creek will be at a gravesite in Scranton at a later date.

He died Oct. 20, 2016, at Horn Memorial Hospital in Ida Grove.

Bert was born Feb. 20, 1923, in Scranton, eldest child of Bert Sr. and Ruth (Phillips) Eason. He graduated from Scranton High School, served in the U.S. Army Air Force in the South Paci ic during World War II and earned a bachelor’s degree in animal husbandry from Iowa State University. At ISU, he competed in wrestling and livestock judging and was a member of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, as was his long-time friend, the late Wade Hauser Jr. Bert married Rosemary Catherine Murphy of Churdan Jan. 12, 1950. The couple farmed in Scranton before moving to Battle Creek in 1956. Initially, he worked as a livestock buyer in Danbury.

In 1957, the family moved to the farm on Battle Hill, east of Battle Creek. As a family, the Easons enjoyed swimming on summer evenings at the Battle Creek Beach Pool, 4-H activities (Bert served as a leader of the Maple Huskies) and participating in the Ida County Fair.

Bert loved watching things grow, cattle feeding, dog and horse training, ishing, hunting and gol ing. In the last three of these activities, he was joined by family and many good friends, including the late Jim Witt of Battle Creek ( ishing), the late Jack Leclair of Mission, Texas, (hunting), and the late Louie Dempster of Mission, Texas, (gol ing).

He also greatly enjoyed grilling and liked a wide variety of foods. Among his favorites were his mother’s butterscotch candy, morel mushrooms, sweet corn, Missouri peaches, gooseberry pie, Rosemary’s rhubarb sauce, Tiefenthaler brats, prime rib, bacon, chocolate-covered cherries, fried bluegills and everything his daughter-in-law, Melanie, prepared.

Bert was a founding member of the Iowa Beef

Industry Council and its irst chair. He also served as president of the Ida County Beef Producers and as state director of the Iowa Beef Producers Association.

In 1973, he was inducted into the Iowa State University Block and Bridle Club’s Hall of Fame for his service to the livestock industry.

Obituaries

Joanne L. (Jensen) Brandt March 5, 1945 – Oct. 22, 2016 FLOWER MOUND, TEXAS – Services for Joanne L. (Jensen) Brandt, 71, of Flower Mound, Texas, formerly of Galva, were Oct. 28, 2016, at Nicklas D. Jensen Funeral Home in Holstein with the Rev. Paul D. Egger officiating. Burial was in the Galva Township West Cemetery at Galva.

She died peacefully, surrounded by family, Oct. 22, at her home in Flower Mound, Texas, after being diagnosed two months ago with gallbladder cancer.

Joanne Lynn (Jensen) Brandt was born in Holstein March 5, 1945. She graduated from Galva High School in 1962. She had two children: Don Brandt Jr. of Oakville, Ontario, Canada, and Kris Vaughn of Dallas, Texas.

Her children were foremost in her life, and she worked very hard to support them. When living in Lake View, she worked at a number of jobs: popcorn plant, waitress, dry cleaners, Dr. Durst’s office and Contel.

Joanne’s 25-year career at Contel/ GTE/Verizon began as a customer service representative. She was promoted to positions in Iowa (Knoxville, Chariton and Newton) and then to GTE world headquarters in Dallas, Texas, in 1992.

Highlights of her career included implementing the GTE billing system from Caracas, Venezuela, as well as Tampa, Fla. Ultimately, she received the prestigious Verizon president’s award, prior to retiring in 2003 as manager of bill design.

Upon retirement, Joanne needed to keep busy and began working in 2007 for The Strategic Solution as their data-entry consultant. She loved every challenge that was presented to her and the people she worked with worldwide even more.

As if this wasn’t enough, she also became a Scentsy consultant.

Joanne had a presence that

radiated a maternal instinct, and all those who were lucky enough to meet her called her “Grandma Jo.” She identified as Grandma Jo in every aspect of her life: Scentsy website address, Christmas letters, bright yellow luggage strap, etc.

She was introduced to everyone as Grandma Jo. She organized, planned and funded many family trips with food and crafts for her grandkids to enjoy. Visits to Grandma Jo’s house always included fun events and special memories for her beloved grandkids.

During her 24 years in Flower Mound, she built three beautiful homes. She was an avid gardener and was recognized with Yard of the Month in Newton and twice in Flower Mound. Joanne didn’t see a rock she didn’t like.

Grandma Jo loved to decorate for the holidays at home and in the office. She inherited the love of baking from her dear mother, Lois.

Her specialty was cinnamon rolls that covered a plate.

She was a faithful member of Lamb of God Lutheran Church for years and performed many helpful duties for the ministry of the church.

She is now with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Joanne is survived by her son, Don Brandt Jr. (Susan) and a daughter, Kris Brandt Vaughn (Trent); her grandchildren: Emily, Naia and Reed Brandt of Oakville, Ontario, Canada, and Grant and Grace Vaughn of Dallas, Texas; a sister, Judy (Darrell) Murray of Naples, Fla.; a brother, Jon (Roxanne) Jensen of Galva, and a sister-in-law, Jean Jensen of Spirit Lake.

She was preceded in death by an infant son, Brian; her father, Russell Jensen; her mother, Lois Shelldorf Jensen; a brother, Jerry Jensen; uncles and aunts, and grandparents.

Memorials can be sent to Lamb of God Lutheran Church in Flower Mound, Texas, directed toward matching money for a music ministry addition.

November, 2005, and the Good Samaritan Society in 2012. To this union, two children were born, Paul of Dubuque and Barbara Rasmussen of Denison.

Ferne was a faithful member of WELCA, St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church and Sarah Circle in Holstein, American Legion Auxiliary and several card clubs.

She enjoyed socializing with family and friends, reading and playing cards.

Left to cherish her memory are her children, Paul and Joyce Scherner of Dubuque and Barbara and Jerry Rasmussen of Denison; and five grandchildren: Ryan Scherner and Trisha Girdwood of Oak Park, Ill., Laura and Gerber Santos of Fredericksburg, Va., Jessica and Tim Hinners of Carroll, Jason and Heather Rasmussen of Manning and Katie and Greg Leinen of Manning.

Farming continued to be a part of daily life when the family relocated outside of Cushing. Later, he continued the family farming outside Climbing Hill.

Norm became a devoted employee of VT Industries in Holstein, where his coworkers became friends over the 20 years

he worked there. He had a true love for tinkering with cars and continued his passion by operating Beckman Auto Salvage outside of Storm Lake for many years.

Sharing fond stories and a good laugh with others, Norm enjoyed the opportunities he had with family and friends. He loved the outdoors and spent his free time camping and fishing. Leading by example, his generosity showed his kind heart and compassion for others.

Betty M. Nelson July 7, 1928 – Oct. 22, 2016 IDA GROVE – Services for Betty M. Nelson, 88, of Ida Grove were Oct. 25, 2016, at Faith Community Church in Ida Grove.

She died Oct. 22 at Sunny View Care Center in Ankeny, after suffering a stroke Oct. 15. She was surrounded by her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.

Betty Mae Decker Nelson was born July 7, 1928, in Rembrandt, daughter of Ben and Annie (Joachims) Decker.

She was raised in Linn Grove in a two-bedroom house with three brothers and four sisters.

On July 15, 1950, she married Vern L. Nelson. To this union was born four children: Ricky Ray, who died shortly after birth, Pamela Sue, Michael Ray and Terry Lynn. They lived in Ida Grove and were blessed with over 40 years together.

Betty was a member of Winebrenner Church of God. Her

passion was in loving and serving the Lord with all her heart.

Much of how she expressed that passion was through music.

Betty loved music and used her gift to sing at church and at weddings and funerals. Her love for Jesus always touched those who listened and also strengthened her relationship with the Lord. Of course, she wanted to instill that same love of the Lord in her children and said many times, “I have no greater joy than to know that my children walk with the Lord.”

We rejoice with her as she is enjoying her precious Jesus, whom she loved so much in this life. We are sure the Lord greeted her by saying, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”

Betty is lovingly remembered by her children: Pamela (Allen) Cornelison of Ankeny, the Rev. Michael (Patricia) Nelson of Elizabethtown, Pa., and Terry (Janet) Nelson of Franklin, Tenn.

Also surviving are 12 grandchildren, 16 greatgrandchildren and a sister, Dorothy Camp of Linn Grove.

She was preceded in death by her parents; four brothers; three sisters; her husband, Vern; a son Ricky Ray, and a granddaughter, Hannah McCall Nelson.

Replace smoke alarms every 10 years The Iowa Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) State Fire Marshal Division (SFM) urges all Iowa residents to know how old their smoke alarms are and to replace them every 10 years.

Does your home have a smoke alarm? According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the answer is likely yes: NFPA research shows that most American homes have at least one.

But do you know how old your smoke alarms are? If you’re like most people, you’re probably not so sure.

A recent survey conducted by NFPA revealed that only a small percentage of people know how old their smoke alarms are, or how often they need to be replaced.

That lack of awareness is a concern for the State Fire Marshal and NFPA, along with fire departments throughout the country, because smoke alarms don’t last forever.

“We’ve seen the life-saving impact smoke alarms can have in a home fire, but also the tragedy that can result when smoke

alarms aren’t working properly,” says Special Agent in Charge Kyle Gorsh of the State Fire Marshal Division. “That’s why we’re making a concerted effort to educate Iowa’s residents about the overall importance of smoke alarms and that they do have a life limit.”

NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code®, requires smoke alarms be replaced at least every 10 years, but because the public is generally unaware of this requirement, many homes have smoke alarms past their expiration date, putting people at increased risk.

To find out how old your smoke alarm is and its expiration date, simply look on the back of the alarm where the date of manufacture is marked. The smoke alarm should be replaced 10 years from that date (not the date of purchase). The State Fire Marshal Division also says smoke alarms should be tested monthly and the batteries should be replaced at least once a year or whenever they begin to chirp, signaling that they’re running low.

Keep your cider safe this holiday season There are many traditions associated with autumn, including visits to pumpkin patches, apple orchards and fall farmers markets. The Iowa Depart-

ment of Public Health (IDPH) reminds Iowans to check the labels of apple cider containers to ensure the product is pasteurized.

Unpasteurized cider can contain cryptosporidiosis (‘crypto’), salmonella or E. coli. All of these bacteria can be dangerous to the very young and those who are immune-compromised.

“You can’t tell if cider is contaminated just by looking at it,” said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “In fact, there is no difference in smell or taste either. The key to preventing illness associated with apple cider is purchasing product that has been pasteurized or by heating unpasteurized apple cider to at least 170°F.” Unpasteurized products may be purchased as freshly pressed from local orchards, roadside stands or farmers markets.

They may also be found on ice or in refrigerated display cases and in produce sections at grocery stores. Do not assume that because the juice is hot or bottled that it is safe for consumption. Complete pasteurization is necessary to kill organisms

that have the potential to cause significant illness. If product labeling is unclear, ask the location owners or operators whether the juice or cider being offered has been pasteurized.

Symptoms of food borne illness caused by contaminated food include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, stomach cramps, loss of appetite, fatigue and fever. Symptoms may start within hours of eating the contaminated food or drink or may begin days later. If you suspect you may have a food borne illness, call the IowaSic hotline at 1-844-469-2742. T The IowaSic hotline will be answered by IDPH specialists who will ask callers about the illness, symptoms, onset and duration, and also complete a history of all foods consumed for the past several days. Illnesses associated with foods purchased from or consumed at food establishments will be investigated by staff in DIA’s Food and Consumer Safety Bureau.

For more information about foodborne illnesses, visit idph. iowa.gov/cade/foodborne-illness.

Additional funds available through grant initiative Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey announced that approximately $350,000 in uncommitted funds are now available through the “Fueling Our Future 100” initiative. Interested retailers in Iowa can apply for cost share funding to assist with the purchase and installation of blender pumps and underground storage tank (UST) infrastructure for higher blends of ethanol.

Applications must be received at the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s office by 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 14. Pumps and tanks funded through this round of funding for the program are required to be operational by the end of the federal fiscal year on Sept. 30, 2017.

Iowa received a $5 million competitive grant from the United States Department of Agriculture

(USDA) Biofuel Infrastructure Partnership (BIP) program to support the initiative. These funds must be matched by non-federal funds, including $2.5 million from the Iowa Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Program (RFIP).

The fueling sites applying for assistance will also be required to provide a minimum of $2.5 million.

Pumps and tanks funded through this program are required

for Sheriff of Ida County

Vote Dale Breyfogle

to be in operations for the intended purpose of dispensing higher blends of ethanol for at least five years from the date they enter service.

More information about the program, a copy of the application and other materials can be found on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov under “Hot Topics.”

Char-Mac Assisted Living was presented with the American Healthcare Association Bronze 2016 Quality Award. Travis Chartier spearheaded the rigorous criteria requirement quest. The award was presented in Nashville Tenn., on Oct. 18. Tanner Chartier, Travis Chartier and Mike Kelly were representing the Lawton Char-Mac Assisted living team at the AHCA/ NCAL National Conference. They received this award in the presence of more than 2,000 of their longterm care peers.

This is the second National Award for the Lawton Char-Mac Assisted living campus. Jeanine Chartier received the 2008 Assisted Living director of the year award. CharMac Assisted Living has been caring for their friends and neighbors for more than 16 years. In addition to these National awards, Char-Mac in Lawton has been received three other prestigious Iowa Healthcare Association (IHCA) State awards.

(2004 Jeanine Chartier, 2007 Kim Luze and 2015 Wyatt Holst).

The Holstein Char-Mac also has received an IHCA Prestigious award in 2009 for Kristi Waller. She has been the nursing director since the Holstein campus opened in 2005.

Novemberfest coming St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church in Holstein is sponsoring its 21st annual Novemberfest Sunday, Nov. 13, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Veterans’ Memorial Hall in Holstein. A pork loin supper with all the trimmings will be served.

The fifth annual holiday auction begins at 6:30 p.m.

Again, it is time to write our next week’s column. Last week was not too exciting. From our auction standpoint, we did sell the Nelson house on Moorehead Street in Ida Grove last Saturday to the Ladwigs for $40,000, which was where we thought it belonged. Had a good antique and furniture auction after.

Coming auctions include the Norris house in south Anthon on Saturday, Nov. 5. The Holstein St. Paul Lutheran Church has their pork loin dinner and auction on Sunday, Nov. 13. The Methodist Church of Cushing will have their Fall Harvest auction on Sunday, Nov. 20.

On Nov. 19, we will sell more items, antiques and tools from

the Lois Cole Estate on the west side of the lake at Storm Lake.

There is a Cole Museum there, but the auction will be inside of a large Morton building in the same area. We will have a farm or two later. At this writing, that covers the auctions.

In and around the community of Holstein, the four laning of Highway 20 is ongoing.

Also the project/expansion/ addition at VT is ongoing as well. We, your writer, would like to acknowledge the debt that Holstein owes VT for both past and future additions. We might very well be a much smaller, less viable town without them. Every community needs employment, and they give us a lot.

Politics is still ongoing and will be until the election is over. The Sioux City Journal first blasted Steve King, and then, this past week, decided to endorse him. We have always said that, in Holstein and Northwest Iowa, if God came down and decided to run against King as a Democrat, God would lose. The fact that he has been there for 14 years and has never had a bill voted on makes no difference.

Apparently, our area loves paying a U.S. Representative $174,000 per year, plus benefits, for doing nothing.

That’s more than enough for this week. More next.

Galva Legion Auxiliary plans veterans’ program The Galva American Legion Auxiliary met Oct. 18 at the Galva Legion Hall for the regular meeting with Jan Schaffer presiding. The meeting called to order with the usual formality and roll call was taken, minutes were read and approved and Sharon Haake gave the treasurer’s report.

Correspondence was read from Cheryl Johnson from Las Vegas, Nev., a member. Cheryl is living in Las Vegas and her husband of 51 years had passed away. A sympathy card will be sent.

Marlene Jorgensen reported she had sent 14,854 coupons with a

value of $23,688 to the USOs in the other countries. We had an omelet brunch on Oct. 30 at the Legion hall from 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. Volunteers made five pans of cinnamon rolls.

Lisa Naslund was presented a Gold Star pin in memory of her son who died. Our president displayed a stuffed bear named Cleveland.

Member Sara Carstens created the stuffed bear and will be making more.

A Veterans’ Day program will be presented Nov. 11 at the schoolhouse. Cinnamon rolls and coffee will be served from 8:30 to 9 a.m.,

followed by the Veterans’ Day service at 9:30 a.m. Everyone is encouraged to attend.

The past presidents met at Sloan Oct. 22. Anyone wishing to go was to contact the president.

We voted to donate money to the Legion to develop a lavatory for both men and women.

Our next meeting will be Nov. 15, and our hostesses will be Marlene Jorgensen, Mary and Kenneth Radke and Rod and Marllys Brosamle.

The meeting was adjourned with the closing formality.

Peter, Paul and Mary tribute concert A Band Called Honalee, a tribute to Peter, Paul and Mary, will perform at the Rosemary Clausen Center for Performing Arts in Holstein on Saturday, Nov. 5, at 7:30 p.m.

The band is a modern-day folk trio inspired by Peter, Paul and Mary. Musically accomplished, interactive and energetic, their show will allow our audience to experience this timeless music live on

stage again.

The melodies and messages of the 1960s folk and folk-rock era may be just as important today as when they were first sung, perhaps even more so. Band Called Honalee can share this uniquely American experience with new audiences while rekindling the passion for those of us who are lifelong fans.

Fishing report

Water temperatures in the Black Hawk District are in the mid to low 50’s. For more information, contact the Black Hawk District office at 712-657-2638 or go online at iowadnr.com.

Black Hawk Lake—Water temperature is in the mid 50’s. Water level is about six inches over the crest of the spillway.

Bluegill - Good: Bluegill fishing is good just about everywhere on the lake. Town Bay, around the handicap dock, near the inlet bridge and the outlet are producing fish.

Largemouth bass - Good: Anglers have had luck fishing the north side of Ice House Point. Fish drop offs and brush piles in three to four feet of water.

Black Crappie - Good: Fish are eight to 10 inches. Try Town Bay, Ice House Point and near the inlet.

Storm Lake (including Little Storm Lake) — The dredge is in operation in the northeast portion of the lake. Boaters should use extreme caution in this area and must maintain a 100-foot distance from the dredge, booster pump and all dredge pipes at all times.

Storm Lake has a daily limit of three walleye and all 17 to 22-inch walleye must be released; no more than one walleye longer than 22 inches may be taken per day.

Walleye - Fair: Use crankbaits, leeches or minnows and a slip bobber. Drift in the dredge cuts and fish near shore in morning and evenings to find fish.

Channel catfish - Fair: Storm Lake has a good catfish population; target catfish from shore using stink bait or cut bait fished off the bottom.

State cross-country: Ridge View’s Katlyn Wiese, at right, placed 37th (21:02) in the class 1A state cross-country meet in Fort Dodge Saturday. (Advance photo by Mike Thornhill)
