FLYING AND BURNING FLAGS

• Shef¿eld Àying Àags on Gilman, Legion properly disposing of others BY ZACH CLEMENS esidents of Sheffield have taken part in a new program to line Gilman Street with United States and Iowa flags, raising flags to show their patriotism, while the Sheffield Legion Post 277 had a flag burning ceremony to properly dispose of old United States flags. The new program began in September, and was originally thought of by Sheffield Public Works Director Pat Nuehring. Nuehring and Sheffield City Clerk Katy Flint worked on a proposal for businesses or individuals to purchase flags to fly down Gilman. So far there have been about 15 flags purchased and many are flying, although some flags still need to be ordered and hung up. It is about $50 for the purchase of a flag, and that includes the flag, the pole and all maintenance, and the purchaser can choose between tates flag. an Iowa flag or the United States With f lags f lying on Gilman, the Sheffield Legion Post 277 held a f lag d isp osal ce re mony on Thursday, November 3. The process is to place thee rflags on a pallet and pour kerosene on them to burn. “The nylon flags don’t acaid tually burn, they melt,” said Cliff Cameron, Legion Post 277 Commander. Every 15 or 20 f lags more kerosene is poured on the flags, and Cameron said they usedd a total of about three gallons off kerosene.

Franklin County women star in television show • April Hemmes and Shannon Latham talk about role of women in agriculture on television BY ETHAN STOETZER perating a farm can be considered the oldest family business. Men, women and children, throughout farming’s history in the world and America, have spent much of their lives working to sustain their own lives and feed the community at large, through sowing crops, milking cows, churning butter, cleaning, cooking, etc. The family farm most likely didn’t operate based on gender roles, rather it operated on getting the job done or else, it wouldn’t. Yet over time, the business and practice of agriculture has been largely depicted as primarily male. From commercials to magazine articles, men have been depicted as the typical farmer, while women’s roles in agriculture have seemed to go unnoticed. Hampton’s own April Hemmes and Shannon Latham, a Sheffield native, are two women working to shine a light on women’s roles and accomplishments in agriculture. Both, holding leadership positions in Iowa agriculture, as well as public speakers at state symposiums about agriculture, took their initiatives to a wider audience, having been featured on the RFD TV program, “FarmHer.” FarmHer, founded in 2013 by photographer Margie Guyler-Alaniz, is “working to change the image of agriculture-to include women in that image through photographs and stories,” according to the FarmHer website. Initially beginning as photo galleries by Guyler-Alaniz, documenting women’s responsibilities in every day farm life, FarmHer grew into a television series, as well as an online community.

O

FarmHer’s mission is to “change the way people perceive a farmer by sharing the stories of the women who live and lead in agriculture.” Latham’s episode aired on Oct. 28, and documented a field trip to her pumpkin patch, Enchanted Acres. “Very few kids live on the farm,” Latham explained, “and even fewer understand how food is produced.” The production team from FarmHer showed up an hour before the children arrived to document behind the scenes action, such as feeding goats and rabbits. “Basically what [Guyler-Alaniz] does, is she follows you around,” Latham said. “She’s unobtrusive and documents what you’re doing. I think that’s what makes her photography standout. I think that is how she captures the essence of women in agriculture is great; it’s not staged photos like in an ad.” Latham found her way into agriculture at a young age, being active in Future Farmers of America (FFA). The organization’s assigned projects were “very much” her projects. “I wasn’t the kid that could show up to the fair without a project,” Latham said. At 10-years-old, Latham got her very own farm account, which she used to complete a 4-H sheep project. Since she was very little, she credited her parents in mentoring her to become a business woman. Being interested in college as well as wanting to continue with FFA, she visited Iowa State University, unsure of how to combine the two. Her advisor directed her towards agricultural journalism.

Dumont netted 6 points before Larry Freie broke the ice with a field goal, and Jeff Yelland added another just before time ran out on the 4-10 quarter. Spartans did all right in the second and third periods, and trailed 37-39 midway in the fourth quarter but could not snap back, they failed to hit and the visitors taking the initiative for the final 40-49 Dumont win. Doug Grefe planted 7 from the field for 14 points and had a perfect four miss in the protected zone. Jim Maifield collected 13 tallies, Larry Uhlenhopp 11, Bob Grefe 7 and Dave Bigler 4. They pulled in 29 rebounds, Bob Grefe topping the effort with 8. Norm Koenigsberg paced the Spartans with 11 points from 3 doubles and 5 of 9 gift shots. Jeff Yelland and Larry Freie each notched 9 points, Doug Truax and Duane Kruckenberg each 4, Bob Weber 3. They grabbed 38 rebounds, Koenigsberg handling 14 and Yelland 13 to pace the Spartans.

The losers made 14 of 50 attempts for a 28 per cent shooting average; Dumont made 20 of 54 tries for a 37 per cent average.

The girls dropped the opener 38 to 50 after trailing nine points 25-34 at the half and by 10 points 32 to 42 at three quarters of the way. Spartans after a bad first quarter start, trailed 17-19 at the half then knotted the score at 22, 26 and 30 before the visitors moved ahead in the final period for the win, 40-49. Failing to get off shots and slowing down let the opposing guards keep the offensive off balance and kept the Spartanettes trailing, while their defensive department put up a scrappy drive to regain the ball and keep up with the Dumont forwards. Marilyn LaRoque notched 10 from the field for 20 points and missed a perfect five gift shots. Bev Levitt had 12 points from 2 doubles and 8 of 15 free throws; and Ilene Schmalbeck added 6 tallies from 2 field goals and 2 of 4 in charity lane. Sue Riis pulled in her share of rebounds with some help from Nicki Schrupp and Emily Engebretson, but had there been a little bit more of Jamie Just she would covered the entire back court. Dee Ann Schwab with 8 doubles and 5 of 10 gift shots made 21 points for scoring honors. Rhonda McKee with 15 and Debbie Van Dyke with 14 points made the going tough. Harrison, Springer and Reed were at guard. Cold, cold, cold in ball handling , passing and shooting marked the Spartans in the first quarter of play.

The North Star Conference sponsored its every-other-year Swing Choir Clinic this fall on Wednesday, Oct. 9. CAL was the host school. Each school in the conference was to send a mixed quartet to this clinic, having learned three specified selections ahead of time. These singers then worked with a guest conductor and choreographer at the clinic, learning moves to go with the songs. Singers attending from S-C/M-T were Chris Bartelt, Shawn Koehler, Brooke Langlitz and Sean Okusko. These singers will teach a few of their new moves to the S-C/M-T Swing Choir for future productions. The North Central District of the Iowa Choral Director’s Association sponsored an Honor Choir Festival in Forest City on Monday, Nov. 11. This festival choir is specifically designed for those singers who prepared for vocal all-state auditions but were unable to compete or were not selected for All-State Chorus. The all-state music is used for this festival, thus giving those students the chance to perform the music for an audience in the evening after working with a guest conductor during the afternoon. This year’s conductor was Dr. Kimberly Utke from Northwestern University in Orange City. Six S-C/M-T singers originally began the process of learning the very difficult all-state music, but due to their vocal director’s surgery and required absence from school, they were unable to perfect the music to the level needed to participate in the intense audition procedure. However, their effort and willingness deserves recognition. The six singers are Jenny Clark, Shawn Koehler, Jamie Meints, Sean Okusko, Helen Severe and Jennifer Waddingham. Four of these students – Jennie, Shawn, Sean and Helen chose to participate in the Honor Choir Festival. Gene Mahn of Lake City, Minn., James Dahlstrom of Wabasha, Minn., were Sunday, Nov. 10, dinner guests of Gene’s grandmother, Florence Mahn. Daryl and Janice Meyer attended the CAL Community High School class play on Friday evening, Nov. 8. The students presented “Guys and Dolls,� and the Meyers’ grandson, Zacheri Meyer, was a member of the cast. Zachari is a son of David and Peggi Meyer.

Again it’s a Tuesday morning instead of Monday...and a late Tuesday morning at that! Just works out that way once in a while. I mentioned last week that I now have high speed internet. Worked great...for about a week! But when I needed it more than ever Monday (yesterday), either the operator or the whatever didn’t! I finally went home and said a little prayer that it would be OK in the morning. And it was...after about a half hour of thinking about throwing the whole thing out the window! I maintain it was nothing I did to cause the problem, but there are those at the office in Hampton who seem to doubt me! Otherwise...it has been a good week, with the exception of not being able to find a plate to print a job with. And when I found out the last time it was printed apparently was in 2002...I figured out why! I still owned The Press at that time...and the press that it was printed on was still in Hampton. Sometimes I’m right...but it’s only a small percentage of the time! But I get by! Home...things I planned to do didn’t get done...and things I didn’t plan to do, did! As in...the convert still needs to have the top put up...and the bike still need to be covered up. But they both need to be dusted and let run for a while. The hacienda is still clean, albeit another layer of dust! Tuesday evening my regular meeting. Wednesday evening Shirley and I went to Grafton for supper. Thursday evening I had a choice between Lions Club and the American Legion flag burning ceremony. The flag burning ceremony is a once every one, two, or three years...so I attended that. Friday evening I took supper up to Shirley’s as she had twisted her ankle and preferred to stay home bound (Ain’t I a nice guy?) and I had to get up early to head to Altoona for the day. Got there in time to visit a while, and then we headed out to watch Little Lid play in a basketball game. They don’t keep score...but she did make a couple of baskets. Then it was back to their house for lunch and to celebrate Lidia’s 7th birthday. Her birthday is actually on Nov. 10, but Angie had her tonsils taken out today, Nov. 8, and she figured she would be in no shape to help her celebrate on her real birthday. (She won’t be able to talk for a few days!) That’s gonna’ be different! But, there’s more to this celebration...funny, but yet not so funny! Before we left for the game...Lidia wanted a snack. She had helped her mother make her birthday cake. (Actually, Angie said Lidia did most of the work and was so proud of it.) To make a longer story short...the cake had been in the microwave, but was removed when she heated up a hot dog for Lidia, but not replaced in the microwave when the hot dog was done. It was left on the stove. Not a good idea...but who knew what would happen! Nic and I took the ladies home and we went to pick up some subs for lunch. Nic received a call on the way and it was Angie. Guess who ate the cake? Let’s put it this way: Copper, the family dog, decided he wanted to have some chocolate cake. And he did...getting it all over the kitchen floor, and devouring most of it! Angie said her first instinct was to starting laughing... until she saw Lidia sobbing. Her heart was broken, and Angie changed her tune from laughing to removing the dog out the door for the rest of the day. Nic and I got back to the house...and Nic took off again...this time to purchase another chocolate cake! Later it was time for Lidia to open her gifts and all was back to normal. Guests included Grandpa and Grandma Jones, Uncle Chris and lady friend, Great Grandma Jones, and Arlene. We all had a good visit and late afternoon it was time for yours truly to head north. Sunday up at my regular time...did some work around the house...and headed up to the office for a few hours of work. Then to Mason City to meet Shirley and make a weekly deposit at the bingo parlor. I ain’t real bright...but it seems to me that if I just put the money in an envelope and mailed it, I could save the gas money! Be good, Kids! It’s Showtime!

Welcome to golf it promises a thing called par if you can hit it straight and far. Yup just simple as that, like being able to get a hole in one from 801 yards. The boys encountered a challenge by having two days in a row of 18 holes. It was almost like two a day drills in football, but hey the men sucked it up and conquered both days of battle. The weather was like we dialed it in for perfect play, yup was awesome two days. Day one we had fifteen men all suited up for war, no war paint but war crys were abundant. It was like a cavalcade of carts as the men put the pedal to the metal and off they went. Dougy boy Siems, Denny boy Foss and Duane boy Dorenkamp captured the hill and raised the flag for their victory. They fired 68 white little dimpled balls into the main target, the cup.

could not drive, chip or putt and finished with a 70. If it was not for those afore mentioned qualities we could have won. Oh well on to another day. The fifth place squad of DenO Phillips, DaveO Levitt and KimO Wills shot a rather ugly 72 but were not last. They whipped up on the last place team by one stroke as DallO Slagle, DenO Foss and BillO Nolte shot a 73. I know it is hard to vision or think that three grown talented, gifted men could shoot that bad, but hey it happens, whatever that is. So as one more week on the links closes and the season shortens, we’ll give it a shot again next week with two sessions. Barney told me that the body is the wick of a candle, the spirit is the glow. Recognize the spirit. He said he learned that in first grade, wow whatta philosopher. I told Slagle I’d like to help him out but I needed to know what door he came in.

team and out of the money was yours truly, Jimmy boy Saylor and Barney boy Dougherty. Old Barn was hyped up, sprinting between shots, not even waiting for the cart to ride in. It was an awesome sight folks watching him kicking up dirty with every step. Saylor said we would have won if I hadn’t been such a burden. My only response was, “Yup that be me.� We fired 71 rounds of ammo into the target. The third place squad was Cliffy boy Cameron, Dean boy Peter and Billy boy Nolte with a 72. That third place finish won them a round of applause and great big hug from my team. Well maybe I was dreaming that. The fourth place team and winners of an empty box was Denny boy Phillips, Art boy Rolha and Davey boy Levitt as they carded 74 long bombers into zee hole. Levitt said their only problem was not doing what their potential required. Oh come on now Davey boy, potential, ahhhhh bet you’se guys can’t even spell it. Then of course

there must be a last place team and they also shot 74 just eking out that position on a tie-breaker. Darryl boy Peter, Tommy boy Severe and Bobby boy Shreckengost were tied together for the losing cause. Sure enough partial payment went to the 5th place team. They could not believe they were that bad, well we set them straight on that account. They were plain and simply BAD. The second day of action brought eighteen soldiers of misfortune together seeking a way to be the champs for the day. SteveO Heeren, FrankO Schnoes and JimO Saylor ran away from the field shooting 66 to take home the big trophy. Only problem, we don’t have a trophy. The second place contingent was DarrylO Peter, DeanO Pa-Pa Peter and BobO Shreckengost and they fired 68. That awesome display of golf won them not one single thing, not even a OH-NO. The third place team winning that spot on a tie breaker over the afore named tem consisted of TomO Severe, BarnO Dougherty and DuaneO Dorenkamp. They won a free bus tour of Dougherty and a sit down dinner at the Waldorf Dougherty Hotel. It just was not our day as my team of Marvin (from Minnesota) Kramer and RogO Madsen

“We normally try to do it once a year, but it had been a bit longer since we had done it,” Cameron said. “So there was at least a couple hundred flags.” The ceremony was held out by Iowa Drainage, Inc., and the flags were burned between two piles of gravel. One of the members of the Legion went out last weekend and scooped up the ashes and grommets, which were plentiful with all the flags. It is the way Unites States Flags must be disposed of, Cameron said, to honor the flag and those who fought for it.

2. In terms of transmission lines and bringing energy to the broader grid, is that why wind turbines can be seen, not spinning? LIPARI: Sometimes the turbines are down for maintenance. These are mechanical pieces of equipment, there’s scheduled maintenance, unforeseen maintenance. Also, you have, from time-to-time, depending on the amount of power on grid — there’s an overall system operator dictating the energy amounts on the grid all generators need to coordinate as it relates to output to the grid. As can be the case through western Iowa, when winds blowing at speeds that are going to spin turbines, the grid might not be able to handle all of it, so operator will ask sites to back down. 3. How do you go about deciding how many turbines can be placed and where? LIPARI: A lot of topics effect placement and effect the number of turbines, but it starts with the overall footprint. We refer to these as set backs. When we go through and layout where likely locations for turbines are, we have certain guidelines. Then we go through a number of iterations with that to look to really combine what we’re hearing from land owners and specific interests, with broader setback requirements. We intend to be a specific feet from a home, we intend to, based on models, try to be at certain noise levels away from homes. We go through a lot of consideration, some are requirements of county or state agencies, and some are good neighbor policies we employ at wind farms. In addition we have to weigh how close we are to another turbine as well. There can be a wake as one example. Placing turbines that can have another turbine will effect performance, as you make your way inside. 4. What if a land owner wants turbines but his/her neighbor doesn’t? LIPARI: There are setback requirements from non participating land owner property lines. They similar in our guidelines to stay so many feet from non-participating land owners. In Franklin County, we’re approaching landowners that may not want to have turbine or wind facility on their property, but who are interested in a buffer easement. That allows participation in the project, and they’ll receive payment and we get some more flexibility in terms of setbacks. They’re in a different status. They are participating, just not letting a facility on their property. We’ve used that on

projects and we find a number of folks that don’t mind being associated with the projects and there will be payment on their part. 5. How do payments work for those who participate? LIPARI: We discussed with landowners, and there is a payment associated with them entering the land lease itself. At that point, that gives us access to site wind facilities on the property. If we end up siting, for each turbine, the property owner receives annual payment for each, no matter the energy produced. 6. How much room is needed for a turbine? LIPARI: Roughly an acre after construction and we’ve restored the land. It’s approximate because you have the turbine, but what will vary more is the length of the access road. 7. How long are turbines supposed to last? LIPARI: The current turbines we use are 1.65 megawatt turbines. That’s its capability at any point in time. Now, looking to site at expansion, we haven’t made the selection yet, but they’ll greater than 2 megawatt turbines. We referenced with the Iowa Utilities Board that there will be 40-year operating life for the facility, and so that will mean there will be major equipment replacements; it’s not expected that you put a turbine up, as is, and expect it to operate 40 years without any significant replacement. It’s difficult to predict out of the gate — at this point, technology is advanced enough to estimate which equipment will fail, but it’s not easy to estimate when it fill fail. 8. Is there anything else I might have missed, regarding wind development in Franklin County? LIPARI: Well, an important thing to note is that we receive, through landowner sessions, is how property taxes make their way back to the county. So it’s something we’re happy to be associated with; we’re pleased to hear from the supervisors the number of projects they can execute that they wouldn’t be able to without the additional tax revenue. As we look to bring additional tax base to the community, it’s some times worth mentioning. Also, a large part of the reason we’re looking to expand the site in Franklin County is from a partnership standpoint — relationships with landowners is critical. We views landowners as neighbors, knowing we are all occupying the same area for 30-40 years. We value that considerably.

FARMHER “That opened my eyes that I can major in what I love and pursue career in agriculture,” Latham said. “I don’t think I realized how many career paths were in agriculture until FFA. Quite frankly, when growing up, when you’re from a town of 1,000 people, there’s not wide variety of agricultural jobs.” Hemmes’ episode will air on Nov. 11, at 8:30 p.m. and documents Hemmes, the day before harvest, greasing her combine and having them tour her “empire,” while giving interviews out in her fields, about her family farm and how she does everything herself. Hemmes found her way into agriculture, having earned a degree at ISU in Animal Science during the late 70s and early 80s. From an early age, farming was a part of Hemmes’ life. “Not many girls were in agriculture or animal science, now I think it’s about 60 percent,” Hemmes said. “I knew I always wanted to come back to farm. The early ‘80s weren’t the best for agriculture. I did some work outside and came home in 1985; when I called home, my dad said no, while my grandpa said yeah. 31 years later, I’m out on the farm.” Hemmes described her love of

farming as “trivial,” but honest, in that it’s the love of the land and wanting to care for it for the next generation. “So many people are far removed from where their food comes from,” Hemmes said. “It’s nice to show how we do it, how to make it safe for the environment. People don’t understand how their food is raised.” Both Hemmes and Latham met Guyler-Alaniz at a GROW conference, hosted be FarmHer, in which

both Hemmes and Latham were presenters for in recent years. “I think it’s important for women to be recognized for their contribution,” Latham said. “My grandparents were very much partners but women were not recognized, even in how income tax was reported. After three generations, it’s different. Women are recognized. It’s not necessarily feminism, it’s encouraging and inspiring women to achieve their own dreams and passion.”

1. Alliant has two of its four wind farms in Franklin County, and the expansion of one of them was announced this year, what is it about Franklin County when it comes to wind energy? LIPARI: There’s a reason why we have targeted Franklin County. It’s really one of the core categories in wind development and that’s a receptive community and receptive local landowners. As you can imagine, you’re not building a wind farm unless you have general receptivity form community leaders and local officials. I like to talk about wind development in four categories: Another is the ability to access good wind and high wind speeds. Developments in technology allow in flexibility and opportunities for increased performance in what was considered pour wind regimes, fourto-five years ago. Franklin County is a very high performing wind area as evidenced by the wind facilities. And what we introduced and see is improved performance out of these new sites, based on advantages with upgrades to technology in turbines. Franklin County has some of the best wind resources available in Iowa, given our existing facilities, in regards to place, land right of leases with land owners — it really takes you that much farther along in the wind development process, having acquired those rights. Another topic is permit feasibility. When we look at a site, we come up with project boundaries and assess what we can do within those boundaries; it can inf luence the project based on ability to permit the site. There’s a whole host of different topics of how you permit, which project might be less influenced than other sites. Certainty you get into avian consideration and bat studies based on where the site’s located. Fourth is transmission facilities. You have the ability to generate power through a wind source, but you have to be able to put power on the broader grid, and that depends on the size of site; that will influence what we an call interconnect facility. It’s a type of facility that takes power at the wind site and brings it out to the broader electric grid. Franklin County is well supported. A lot of construction projects, specifically transmission projects have been completed and proposed. Sometimes folks receive those projects well and other times they’re concerned as well. Our philosophy is to utilize as much Infrastructure as possible. That sits in line with our broader philosophy of minimizing our footprint.

The Sheffield Press Thursday, November 10, 2016 • Shef¿eld, Iowa

Voices heard It’s over. For better or worse, this terrible election is over. Or at least it will be by the time you read this. Right now, as I type this, there is an approximately 75 percent chance I will be breathing a sigh of relief and a 25 percent chance I will be refreshing myself on passport requirements. If you’re reading this, then you already know the results of the election. Lucky you. I, on the other hand, have to write a column for a world that will, one way or the other, be fundamentally changed before it sees print. It’s frustrating. The election is the one topic worth writing about, but anything I write at this point will be seen too late to matter. So, ignoring the pink elephant in the room, what else is there to comment on? Well…how about the video game voice actor’s strike? That’s something that likely won’t be resolved before Wednesday. Here’s the scoop. More than a year ago the Screen Actor’s Guilt (SAG-AFTRA) entered into negotiations with a conglomerate of major video game publishers to update their contracts for video game voice work. Among their demands were shorter sessions for vocally strenuous recording, stunt coordination for roles that utilize motion capture, transparency over what game they are working on before taking the part, and residual payments for successful games. Most of these conditions aren’t very controversial. Nobody wants to see a voice actor face plant on the ground during motion capture because a stunt coordinator wasn’t around to properly secure a harness. Likewise, when your recording session involves hours of screaming, yelling, and grunting, it makes sense

AGE OF THE GEEK

Travis Fischer to break them up into shorter sessions. A hoarse voice actor isn’t good for anybody. But, not surprisingly, the issue comes down to money. The voice actors guild has asked for up to four secondary payments of 25 percent of their original session payment, to be paid out whenever a game sells 2 million units of a game. Residual payments like these are common for movies and television, but less so for video games. Instead, representatives of the game developers offered a nine percent raise to the base rate. It was not accepted. Unable to come to agreement, the voice actors are now on strike. This is a tricky conundrum. On the one hand, voice actors are asking the games industry to adapt themselves to the Hollywood model. Developers don’t get residuals and the amount they contribute to a game’s success is far and away more substantial than voice acting. Moreover, it’s not like voice actors have the kind of leverage they do when it comes to other forms of voice work. Creating a compelling animated feature without voice actors would be pretty difficult, but video games got along without voice acting just fine for years. On the other hand, the kind of video games that these publishers make don’t really exist without voice acting. Warner Bros. Interactive released the best Batman movies ever made. Those movies just happened

to play out between segments of gameplay. Likewise, nobody ever played a Mass Effect game because it was a great shooter, they played it because it was a compelling work of science fiction driven by professional grade voice talent. And while developers may not get residuals, they do get steady salaries and benefits. Voice actors may only get paid for working for a few hours a month, but in between those recording sessions are hours of auditions, research, and training. On the other other hand, that’s really just an argument for paying the voice actors more up-front. Doing the job has to be worth their time. If the developers are willing to offer higher base pay, then shouldn’t that be enough? On the other other other hand, getting residual payments for successful games may net voice actors more money, but only on the games that can afford to pay them more. This leaves the upfront cost lower, making voice acting a feature smaller games can afford to include. There is certainly room to see both sides. Voice actors are demanding uncommonly generous compensation for the video game industry while providing a service of questionable value. On the other hand, you get what you pay for. Unless these developers want to go back to text boxes or having programmers and relatives do the voice work for their games, they might have to play ball. I’m sure a compromise can be made that works for both sides. And if it can be made here, maybe there’s hope for the future resident of the White House.

DAYLIGHT SAVING:

Perfect time to switch to LED bulbs With daylight saving time here to stay, MidAmerican Energy wants to remind consumers to make the switch to LED light bulbs. “During the winter months, there’s less daylight, so our lights are on longer,” said Tina Yoder, MidAmerican Energy director of energy efficiency. “By switching to LED bulbs, which are generally more energy efficient and last longer than incandescent ones, customers can save energy and money while still keeping their winter days bright. But, it’s important to note that not all LEDs are created equal.” Yoder said there are many different models of LEDs on the market, so when purchasing LEDs, consumers should look for two things to ensure they’re getting the highest quality bulb: the ENERGY STAR label and the “Be Bright” image. Low- qu alit y, non-EN ERGY STAR bulbs may be cheaper at the register but more expensive in the long run, due to poor light quality and a shorter life span. Consumers don’t have to sacrifice a reasonable price for high-quality bulbs. The Be Bright program provides ENERGY STAR certified bulbs at a discounted price. The Be Bright label indicates that a discount is already included in the price tag. Energy Star guarantees energy savings, quality and long life • The blue ENERGY STAR logo is an easy way to identify that a bulb

meets the following performance standards: • Exceptional energy efficiency ņ uses at least 80 percent less energy than an incandescent bulb and won’t use energy when the bulb is off • Longer life ņ delivers a minimum three-year warranty and lasts up to 25 times longer than an incandescent • Excellent color quality and light output • Verified compliance with more than 20 industry standards and procedures • Rigorous, independent thirdparty testing and real-world stress testing • UL-listed for fire safety – must meet stringent Underwriters Laboratories safety standards similar to those for fire and CO2 detectors Be Bright Program: Get ENERGY STAR quality at a low price • Be Bright is a lighting buydown program for Iowa consumers sponsored by MidAmerican Energy Company. Consumers should look for the Be Bright logo at their participating local lighting retailer to know they’re getting high-quality ENERGY STAR bulbs at a special low price. There are no rebates or paperwork hassles; the in-store price includes a substantial discount. To learn more about Be Bright, or to find a participating retailer, visit www.iowabebright.com.

MidAmerican Energy finishes transmission line in Hampton

BY ETHAN STOETZER MidAmerican Energy Company completed it’s Multi-Value Project 4, 345-kilovolt transmission line in Franklin County last month. The 71-mile line spans across northeast Iowa, from Hampton, to east of Waterloo. Ashton Hockman, media relations representative with MidAmerican, said that the construction of the new line was with the intent to update energy infrastructure, increasing the reliability of the grid. Hockman said that energy use has increased over the last several years, requiring more power on the current grids that can’t support the usage. The new line will allow for more power usage and sourcing. With wind facility projects being started across the state, a larger grid is needed for optimum wind farm performance. Without a large enough grid to dump power from wind from, renewable energy companies can’t make energy. As power companies will both feed off of and supply the grid with power, a fee for such companies will not be charged. Hockman said that MidAmerican is part of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), a regional agency that oversees energy production in Iowa and approximately one dozen other states. In 2011, MISO had a plan approved that would contain 17 projects of transmission lines. MidAmerican aided in some of these projects.

PUBLIC NOTICE Board of Supervisors OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS FRANKLIN COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CORRECTED MINUTES OCTOBER 24, 2016 The Board of Supervisors met in regular session at 8:30 a.m., with Board members Corey Eberling-Chairman and Gary McVicker present; Michael Nolte absent. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, approves the agenda as submitted. All ayes, motion carried. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, approves the minutes of 10/17/16. All ayes. Motion carried. Committee Updates: Central Iowa Juvenile Detention; FCDA; DD 34 inspection with Lee Gallentine and Nolan Rolene-asking if Weidemann (contractor) could widen the grass way for a small fee; and C13 concerns. Tom Birdsell-Castle Dick & Kelch reviewed the County’s Tort Liability Insurance Renewal. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, opens at 10 a.m., a Public Hearing to possibly adopt Resolution 2016-39: Approving a Development Agreement with NEW Cooperative, Inc., Authorizing Tax Increment Payments and Pledging Certain Tax Increment Revenues to the Payment of the Agreement. All ayes, motion carried. Present was: Bob Dobson-Controller New Cooperative Inc., Karen Mitchell-FCDA Director and John Danos-Dorsey Whitney Bonding Attorney via phone. Timelines in the Agreement were questioned by New Coop and changes were requested by Dobson to adjust to their building timeline. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, closes the Public Hearing at 10:22 a.m. All ayes. Motion carried. Motion by McVicker, seconded by Eberling, delays action on the adoption of Resolution 2016-39 until John Danos, Bonding Attorney, has time to revise timelines in the Agreement per changes requested by New Coop and the Board’s agreeing to proceed with those changes at today’s meeting. Said changes and action will be addressed at the 10/31/2016 Board meeting. All ayes, motion carried. Lee Gallentine-Ryken Engineering was present to explain multiple drainage district matters.

Also present was Sandy Eckhardt-Drainage Clerk. Drainage districts discussed were: JDD 6-141 a map was provided identifying televised areas. Gallentine recommended putting a hold on this work order for repair and wait until the water goes down. Supervisors agreed to wait until the water goes down. DD 9, Sub 1 Bradford area. Gallentine excavated at the intake, determining upstream was Àowing slowly and downstream Àowing slowly with tree roots (from alley to railroad) and grease. There is no blockage but there is a constriction in the tile somewhere downstream and he would like to do more televising from downstream going north. The Board agreed to start downstream and televise north and see if there is an issue around the railroad area or somewhere in the tile to possibly ¿nd what the total problem is. Gallentine will proceed. JDD 4-118 Gallentine hasn’t done anything at this location. Vanness brothers, Bob Parks and Hensel’s have all sited there being a problem northwest of I-35 and Hwy 3. The Board requests Eckhardt prepare work orders with names associated with said past requests and then requests Gallentine televise the area at Bob Parks at Dogwood and televise each direction to see what might be found. DD 29 Gallentine has not found any blockage to date and has not found any issues at this time. The only conclusion he can come up with is the tile is too small for the capacity of water it is taking and more televising will be needed. DD 3-111 Eberling looked into and noted that district tile doesn’t have much grade. Eberling will approach Vanness to see what the problem is and possibly ¿ll out a work order at that time. Christa Wiarda, Health Nurse Director, met to update the Board on the Nurses Department. No action taken. Ryan Peterson-Maintenance, requests the County reimburse him regarding the use of a personal owned cell phone rather than using two phones. The Board agreed for Peterson to obtain a personal smart phone and receive maximum reimbursement for using said phone for business purposes, reducing the need to carry two phones. Snow Removal-Notice for bids have been published with the deadline on November 11.

The Condition Assessment & Budgetary Cost Estimate for 5 copper Courthouse statues, provided by Conservation Solutions, Inc., Clinton, MD was delayed due to not receiving the Contract and paperwork and will be addressed at a later time.

Producers are reminded of the requirement to report their perennial forages and fall seeded crops by Thursday, Dec. 15, to their local FSA county office to meet FSA program eligibility requirements. This is the same deadline as RMA (Risk Management Agency) for perennial forages, and fall seeded crops. Perennial forages include alfalfa, alfalfa grass mixtures, red clover and others that are intended for harvest in 2017. This also includes pasture acreage and cover crops. Fall seeded small grains include winter wheat, rye, and others. Late-filed provisions may be available to producers who are unable to meet the reporting deadline as required. Filing an acreage report on these crops after the deadline will require the payment of a late-filing fee which amounts to a minimum of $46 per FSA established farm number.
