Preliminary drawings show several proposed building projects at South Central Calhoun schools. Architects with FEH out of Sioux City and Des Moines created the drawings during a series of meetings with community members and the school board last week. GRAPHIC-ADVOCATE PHOTO/ERIN SOMMERS

Architect offers first drafts of possible SCC building plans By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor South Central Calhoun School District residents and board members got their first looks at several possible building plans last week. At the board’s meeting Nov. 22, few community members spoke formally about the plans, which FEH architects designed based on two days of feedback during public meetings at SCC Middle School, though most meeting attendees did affix stickers to the project design they would prioritize. The board will discuss which project – if any – to seek funding for later. Last week’s meetings were just to establish some general parameters for the work, and to give the community an idea of what kind of projects could be available. Ron Speckman, an architect with FEH, described the evolution of the designs for an elementary school expansion. “At the elementary, there’s a real need for a gym addition,” Speckman said. One early plan showed a gym, with a community fitness center component available for use outside of school hours, as well as an area that could be a daycare center, on the elementary’s northeast side. A later version moved the gym to the south. Speckman presented two versions of the drawing, one that kept the community fitness center component,

with a walking track, regulation-size basketball court and some changing rooms. The second kept the gym in that location, but removed the community use aspect. In those plans, the all-purpose room would be made slightly smaller and converted to a lunchroom. One parent questioned whether doing that would mean the district wasn’t actually gaining any extra gym space, which was one of the needs that prompted the board to start talking about expansion. Even with getting rid of the gym space in the elementary’s all-purpose room, the district would gain six basketball hoops, Speckman said. One reason FEH offered plans for a gym with and without the community fitness center is the possibility of locating a walking track at the middle school, architects said. Other potential projects at the middle school include upgrading the girls’ and boys’ locker rooms, as well as expanding the girls’ locker room to make it as big as the boys’. “The practice gym was a real necessity” for some community members, architect Toi Sullivan said. “Or you could just do the fitness (center) option without a bigger gym.” If the district took the concession stand by the football field, a practice gym could be built on the school’s northwest side, with room for public parking, too. The plans also considered locat-

ing a daycare space at the middle school. At least one meeting attendee spoke out against that idea, noting it would make more sense, if the district somehow entered the child care business, to coordinate the daycare with the elementary school’s early childhood learning classes. At the end of the board meeting, SCC Elementary Principal Nicole McChesney said a representative of an early childhood organization, that credentials child care provides in the area, was willing to speak with the board about the advantages of housing a daycare within a district building. Board members said they would like to hear that presentation, possibly at the December meeting. Proposals for the high school included eliminating the gym stage, and reorienting the basketball court to run east-west instead of northsouth. One problem with that, architect Cory Sharp said, is that the entrance location would mean spectators would have to walk alongside and behind the court to reach the bleachers at the far side of the gym. Still, he said, reorienting the gym did come with some advantages, including increasing the space between the court boundary lines and the gym walls. In other business, the board gave the Fine Arts Boosters permission to move ahead with a project to install banners and trophy cases for band awards by the high school auditorium.

Calhoun County Attorney Tina Meth Farrington said she hasn’t been able to locate any evidence of agricultural impact mitigation plan violations on Prendergast Farms’ land since she began investigating the landowners’ complaints about pipeline construction crews. “It’s hard to prove a case when you have no evidence,” Farrington told the Board of Supervisors Nov. 22. “There have been no violations filed by the inspector.” The board instructed Farrington to find any complaints against or violations by Dakota Access pipeline crews, after Cyndy Coppola and her nephew, Ken Anderson, complained to the board about the ISG inspector assigned to their farm, near Somers. Board members and Farrington said they were reluctant to file a petition with the Iowa Utilities Board alleging infractions without a written record that showed either Dakota Access wasn’t following the agricultural impact mitigation plan or that showed the landowners had complained to the inspector and the inspector had not followed through. Farrington said Evan Del Val, who is managing all of ISG’s inspectors across the state, said Dakota Access crews did perform some additional cleanup on the Prendergast Farms

property, but the deadline for Dakota Access to complete full cleanup wasn’t until this week. Del Val didn’t send an inspector to watch the cleanup, because he didn’t know it was happening. Farrington encouraged the supervisors “not to file a petition because we can’t prove anything,” she said. Anderson and Coppola did not attend the meeting. They previously have complained that Dakota Access’ crews were driving garbage, including steel scraps, belowground instead of cleaning it up as required. Del Val’s response to that complaint was to note that Dakota Access had several weeks still to complete cleanup, and that any cleanup the landowners had witnessed was preliminary, not final. In other business, the board approved a Planning and Zoning Board recommendation to rezone a mile of land along Highway 7, south of Manson, from industrial to commercial. The zoning will be for the north 400 feet of land adjacent to and immediately south of the highway. Calhoun County Engineer Zac Andersen said the board’s original intention was to rezone a slightly smaller section of land, but a communication mix-up led to the larger strip being published as the proposed area of rezoning. Dollar General requested the rezoning; the national retailer plans to build a store south of Highway 7, just outside the Manson city limits.

Lake City Council approves body camera policy By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Lake Cit y’s police chief has worked out the details of just how his department will use body cameras. The Lake City Council approved Chief Bobby Rist’s proposed policy. Rist said he and his officers won’t receive or start using the cameras until after the first of the year. “Everybody has to be trained on how to use them, how to download them,” Rist said. The department has designated an evidence technician to be responsible for maintaining the videos. The city’s computer server is sufficient to store the videos, Rist said. For now, the department will have two of the $400 cameras, and the four officers will rotate the cameras for use. Eventually, Rist said, he would prefer each officer have his own camera. Councilman Gary Bellinghausen suggested Rist consider applying for a Calhoun County Community Foundation grant to buy body cameras. The council also voted to adjust incoming City Administrator

Eric Wood’s salary slightly higher than they originally proposed. The council had initially planned to pay Wood $45,000 annually, after Lee Vogt retired at the end of this year. But council members earlier this month discussed whether to raise that amount by $2,476, to meet the proposed new minimum for overtime-exempt salaried employees of $47,476. Federal officials had selected the higher amount as the new overtime threshold earlier this year, and that amount was set to take effect Thursday. The council agreed to increase Wood’s salary, noting that while paying Wood overtime might cost the city a little less, it would also create more hassle for Wood, who would have to track his hours. “I was in favor of just taking Eric to that base, that way he doesn’t have to track his hours,” Councilman Michael Schleisman said. Wood attends a number of meetings outside regular working hours, council members noted. Councilwoman Tami Green said she wondered how long the new rule would last under President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, which takes office in late January. Green said Trump had made cam-

paign promises to undo a number of President Barack Obama’s federal policies. The board approved the raise. The next day, a federal judge in Texas issued an injunction preventing the federal government from implementing the rule. In the ruling, the judge, who was an Obama appointee, said the U.S. Department of Labor overstepped its authority by raising the overtime threshold so significantly. The rule would have raised the minimum amount a worker could earn as a salaried, overtimeexempt employee from $23,660 to $47,476. The council voted to hire a different attorney to work on the derelict properties the city is trying to acquire. The city’s first attorney, Eric Eide of Fort Dodge, wasn’t using an Iowa Code provision which allows cities to seize the properties, even if there is a lien on the property. Wood said Eide is representing an Eagle Grove homeowner in a legal action against that city for using that same code provision. Eide said he felt it was a conflict of interest to be fighting the use of the code in one city, while using the same code on behalf of another city.

Empty Nest By Curt Swarm 27 Years Clean & Sober The box was marked “Curt’s stuff, glass shards.� With trembling hands I opened the box to see the foot-long daggers of glass with the dried blood stains, now turned black. I used the shards once, during a talk, to emphasize that alcoholism kills. A girl, one-day sober, nearly fainted. I was moving boxes of stuff from the barn to the attic-storage space above our new garage, trying to make room for the tractor and its attachments. Some of these boxes I’ve moved dozens of times over the course of 40 years, from houseto-house, storage space to storage space, wondering why I hang onto all this crap. With the glass shards, there’s no question. I don’t ever want to forget that fateful night 27 years ago that changed my life. The scars are still on my back, but the pain and sensitivity has lessened over the years so that it’s only an occasional reminder. The glass shards spell out the truth boldly. I’ve written about this before, so I won’t belabor. Twenty-seven years ago, I was so drunk in my own home, I tripped (or was pushed by the hand of God) and fell through the glass top of my coffee table, cutting my back to smithereens, and nearly bleeding to death. Outside of that, no problem. But I learned my lesson. It’s been a sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes painful process of recovery over the years, one-day-at-atime. What I did learn very well is that I can’t put the first drop of alcohol into my body. Because I’m alcoholic (an allergy), the tiniest amount of alcohol in my system starts a chemical reaction that I am powerless to control. I can’t stop drinking once I take that first drink. (You know the type—“can’t hold his liquor.�) Today, with the help of God,

I don’t have to take the first drink. November is my sobriety month— because of Thanksgiving, a good month to be thankful. I read in my daily meditation book for November 4, my first day of sobriety 27 years ago, a book I’ve read every day since, “Seeking pleasure does not bring happiness...Happiness is a by-product of living the right kind of life.� I have found happiness in sobriety: married to a woman I love, and out here on “the farm� where I feel so much closer to God. Sometimes, while I’m working outdoors, in the clean, fresh, country air, and crystalclear blue sky, I just raise my hands and say, “Thank you, God.� For my sobriety birthday present to myself, and Ginnie, I bought us a brand new treadmill for our exercise room. The old treadmill was wore out and giving death signals. It yelped in pain like I did years ago. So, the new treadmill is a gift of health, and life, for both of us. And I do use it, daily. Sometimes just walking, but moving. Use it or lose it. Ginnie is hankering to give the

treadmill a spin. She has some hip issues to work through first. But the greatest gift of sobriety is that I finally know why I’m alive. I’ve often wondered why I lived through all that. Some people don’t, or if they do, they continue on the same path of self destruction. I’m alive and sober for a reason—so that I can complete my life work. You see, I’ve been protected all my life. I know it without a doubt. It’s not a unique feeling. A lot of people tell me the same thing. They feel as if they have been protected. Some are called, others are chosen. My book will be called “Protected.� My plans are to write through the winter and have the book ready for spring, like yellow daffodils peeking through dirty snow, singing of new life to come.

O’Connor reminds community of decontamination procedures By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor A recent incident in which a community member arrived at a hospital after being sprayed with a chemical has prompted county emergency officials to clarify the procedure to handle such incidents. “Most hospitals have decontamination procedures for persons exposed to any ammonia, insecticide, gasoline, benzene,� Calhoun County Emergency Management Agency Director Steve O’Connor said.

“They have to decontaminate that patient prior to the patient coming in to the emergency room.� That means the patient who comes to an emergency room on his own will be diverted to another area of the hospital, where a portable shower will be used to rinse the chemical contaminant. If that doesn’t happen, O’Connor said, the entire emergency room may need to be closed to allow hospital staff to perform a sufficient cleaning to remove the chemical, and prevent it from affecting other patients. Hospital employees, trained in the procedure, will don

personal protective equipment and hose off the patient with warm water. The patient’s clothes will also be removed. Stewart Memorial Community Hospital staff practice the procedure a few times a year, O’Connor said. If someone is exposed to a chemical while at home or on a farm and calls 911, the ambulance crew will likely call for the local fire department to bring a portable decontamination unit to the location, to remove the chemical before the patient is put in an ambulance. Again, O’Connor said, that is done to prevent the chemical from getting on materials and equipment in the ambulance. Otherwise, the ambulance may go out of service until it is fully decontaminated. The relatively recent incident reminded hospital officials that not all community members may know about or understand the procedures; and a hospital executive asked O’Connor to provide information to the community about what happens to a patient who has been exposed to a chemical. Community members often “think it’s a lot of overkill,� O’Connor said, adding that it isn’t. “You’re going to contaminate other persons. You’re going to contaminate equipment.�

SCC’s Ellis named to all-state dance team By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor All six of the South Central Calhoun dance team members who competed at this month’s Iowa State Dance Team Association’s solo competition in Newton received a superior rating, Coach Theresa Hildreth said. And one dancer, senior Aspen Ellis, placed fifth in the Class III

field of 73 soloists, to be named to the All-Iowa Dance Team. Ellis will join that team on the floor during the half-time show of the state girls basketball championships in March. “Aspen has worked hard for four years on the SCC Dance Team and I’m so pleased and proud of all she is accomplishing this her senior year� Hildreth said. Ellis said the competitors had about two hours to learn the dance and practice before the competition. Each competitor wears the same

clothes, too, helping the judges to evaluate each dancer on her performance. “It means a lot� to be selected for the all-state team, Ellis said. “It definitely is rewarding.� Ellis will spend the next few months practicing her parts of the dance, which she will get on video. Other SCC dancers who participated in the competition were senior Myk Schoop, junior Tiffany Poen and freshmen Payton Ellis, Raegan Welander and Kennadie Dowling.

Calhoun County EMC receives grant Calhoun County Emergency Management Commission received a $1,000 grant from the Iowa Communities Assurance Pool, better known as ICAP, the county’s property and casualty coverage provider. The ICAP Grant, a special initiative in celebration of the pool’s 30th

anniversary, provides up to $1,000 per member – in this case, the county is the member – for the purchase of certain loss control or risk management items. The emergency management commission applied in October and was approved to purchase a kit to respond to propone incidents.

Iowa’s U.S. senators and three Congressmen signed a letter last week asking President-elect Donald Trump to stop the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from implementing a controversial water rule. Farmers have been speaking out against EPA’s Waters of the United States rule since it was published last year. A federal court issued a stay last fall, preventing the federal government from enforcing the rule. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in May that landowners may challenge the EPA if that agency designates ponds or other water bodies on private land as Waters of the United States, subject to the Clean Water Act. Iowa senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst, as well as representatives David Young, Steve King and Rod Blum, sent a letter to Trump Nov. 21 expressing their opposition to the rule. “We respectfully urge you to do everything within your power as chief executive to stop this harmful rule in the first days of your presidency,â€? the letter said. “This misguided WOTUS rule is an economic assault on small businesses, manufacturing and agriculture, and threatens the very livelihood of our fellow Iowans. These industries are the backbone of this country, especially in rural America. The election results signaled that Americans are ready for the last eight years of EPA’s power grabbing mentality to come to an end. ‌ We strongly encourage you to use all the tools at your disposal to free the American people

from this blatant overreach. We also respectfully urge you to direct your EPA to craft a common-sense rule that clarifies the scope of the CWA and does so by taking into consideration the input of all stakeholders.� Iowa’s congressional delegation has led the opposition to the rule, calling for hearings last year to explain the potential impact on agriculture if the rule went into effect. “As you know, the Clean Water Act was created to address pollution problems in the nation’s navigable waters and improve water quality through a local-state-federal partnership,� the letter said. “While we fully support this goal, the scope of the expanded WOTUS definition far exceeds what was originally intended by Congress when it enacted the CWA. Under the guise of protecting clean water, the current administration’s EPA is not just seeking to expand its jurisdiction over waters not originally covered under the CWA, but also on private land. For example, the WOTUS rule could give EPA extensive power to regulate activities on 97 percent of the land in Iowa. This rule will no doubt leave our nation’s job creators in a wave of legal uncertainty, compliance burdens, and increased costs.� Ernst spearheaded the effort to pass Senate Joint Resolution 22, which was ultimately approved by both chambers of Congress, encouraging the EPA to abandon the rule. President Barack Obama vetoed the resolution. Calhoun County Farm Bureau President Darcy Maulsby praised the move by the state’s federal legislators. “We’ve sounded the alarm for a number of years about over-burden-

Iowa’s delegation calls on presidentelect to stop proposed water rule By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor

“This institution is an Equal Opportunity provider and employer.�

some regulations proposed by unelected bureaucrats in government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency,� Maulsby said in an email to The Graphic-Advocate last week. “I hope President-elect Trump takes action on the Iowa Congressional delegation’s recommendation to direct EPA to replace the harmful WOTUS rule and craft common-sense solutions to protect the livelihood of Iowa farmers and other small-business owners across the nation.� Maulsby went to Washington D.C. last year to testify to Congress about the potential harm to farmers if the EPA enacted the WOTUS rule. “I emphasized that if the EPA can regulate every body of water on my family’s farm, including those areas that are dry most of the time, there are effectively no limits to the agency’s regulatory reach,� Maulsby said, recalling her testimony. “I explained how my family and other farmers all across Iowa are investing in conservation practices that prevent nutrient runoff and safeguard water quality. I stressed that one of the biggest problems with WOTUS is the uncertainty it creates. I look around my family’s farm and wonder what areas would be under the EPA’s jurisdiction. There are many features on farm land that contain or carry water only when it rains. Farmers and ranchers consider these areas to be ‘land,’ not ‘water’ that can be regulated. The regulation of these areas mean that any activity, including everyday farming activities, could be a violation of the Clean Water Act – triggering heavy penalties and criminal fines, possibly resulting in jail time.�

St. Anthony Regional Hospital has been named a 2016 Home Health Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Honors recipient by HEALTHCAREfirst. HHCAHPS Honors is a prestigious award recognizing home health agencies that continuously provide quality care as measured from the patient’s point of view. It acknowledges the highest performing agencies by analyzing the performance of HHCAHPS satisfaction measures. Honors are bestowed by HEALTHCAREfirst, a leading provider of web-based home health and hospice software, billing and coding services and advanced analytics. “This recognition comes at a most appropriate time, as November is National Home Care and Hospice Month,� said Marcia Schaefer, home health, hospice and public health director. “This honor showcases the remarkable work our nurses, home care aides, therapists and social workers do on behalf of the patients and families they serve. The caregivers at St. Anthony play a key role in our health care system, and make an immeasurable difference in the lives of hundreds of west central Iowans.� Developed by Deyta Analytics, a division of HEALTHCAREfirst, HHCAHPS Honors acknowledges the highest performing agencies by first analyzing performance on Question 25 – Willingness to Recommend as a qualifier. The survey then analyzes performance on 18 other questions that comprise the publicly reported measures over a twelve-month period. More than 1,200 partnering home health agencies were surveyed during the evaluation period of April 2015 through March 2016. HHCAHPS Honors recipients include those agencies scoring above the HEALTHCAREfirst National Average on at least 85 percent of the evaluated questions. HEALTHCAREfirst holds a special recognition, HHCAHPS Honors Elite, to honor home health agencies scoring above the HEALTHCAREfirst National Average on 100 percent of the evaluated questions. “We are honored to be partnered with these top-performing home health agencies who are dedicated to providing quality patient care,� said Bobby Robertson, President and CEO of HEALTHCAREfirst. “HHCAHPS Honors defines a standard of excellence in the home health patient experience.�

LOHRVILLE My thought for the day is: Nowadays, getting up and out of a chair tires me out so much that I have to sit down for awhile. The trivia question for the week is: What state park contains thirteen limestone caves and a natural bridge? Our sympathies go out to the family and friends upon the death of Butch Stephenson. Butch was well liked in the Lohrville community, always with a smile. Birthday congratulations go out to: Alice Riedesel on the 1st and Gary

Hildreth on the 11th. Hope you had a good one. Susan Clapper, of Manson, accompanied her mother to Des Moines on Thanksgiving. They had dinner at the home of Tom and Sue Knapp along with other family members. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. The answer to the trivia question is: Maquoketa. So until next week, have a good one.

SUNNYVIEW Thank you to the 69 first graders and their teachers who came to the Sunnyview dining room on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Mrs. Hucka led the group (three classes of first graders) as they walked here from the South Central Calhoun Elementary School about a block away. Hooray -- the rain held off! We enjoyed their songs and poems and “speaker plays� about the Pilgrims and turkeys and Thanksgiving. We joined in singing the final song, Over the River and Through the Woods. This was followed by a “meet and greet� session, as the students mingled with the residents and introduced themselves. What a fun time! At the recent open house at Parkside Flowers in Rockwell City, there was a door prize of a lovely live plant. Congratulations to Jo Ann Maguire, who was the lucky winner! Thank you, Jo Ann, for sharing the plant with all of us in the Sunnyview dining room. How was your Thanksgiving? Did you think of things for which you could be thankful? Have you enjoyed one of those Thanksgiving blessings: left-overs? Maybe you watched a football game or two. The weather can be a big factor in holiday travel. Sometimes the best choice is to stay home. The Sunnyview staff regularly expects many guests and residents here for a sumptuous Thanksgiving meal of turkey and all the trimmings. Here we are at the end of Novem-

ber, and what did you do with your summer wages? By the time this is in the paper, Sunnyview may be in a state of transformation. Sunnyview has the tradition of decking the halls right after Thanksgiving. Thank you to the Sunnyview staff and all the helpers who will set up the trees, lights and decorations. Seventy-five years ago, Pearl Harbor in Hawaii was attacked, bringing the United States into World War II. See www./pearlharbor75thanniversary.com for info about the extensive 75th anniversary commemoration. Let’s remember our brave men and women in the armed forces. God bless America. In school, we learned a few things about the weather, like the change from summer to fall, and fall to winter, etc. Sometimes there is severe weather during this time of change. And the climate varies depending on how far we are from the equator, and on our elevation above sea level. A teacher was explaining these things to her class one day, and then she asked, “So, what are the four seasons?� A little boy in the front row piped up. “I know!� he said, “Mustard, catsup, pepper and salt.� We keep a close eye on the seasons. Around here the harvest looks complete, although we heard from an eastern Iowa traveler who saw a field of corn still standing. Maybe this winter will be like a visit with a favored friend -- short and easygoing. Remember, the Sunnyview website is www.sunnyviewil.com.

CENTRAL SCHOOL REMEMBERS November 1966 50 Years Ago

Over 500 persons are expected to attend our schools 75th anniversary of the first graduating class of the Lake City high school (1909). The Lake City volunteer Fire Department was called out three successive days last week to extinguish farm fires. Chief Redenius stressed the importance of everyone using extreme caution in farm operations because of the exceedingly dry conditions. Denny Stephenson and John Trotter were selected for Midwest All Star teams by conferences coaches last week. Eagles of the Week: Eagle of the week go to our hard working football team. This year’s football tricaptains are Scott Middleton, Denny

Stephenson and John Trotter. Eight Lake City High School vocalists have been selected by audition to attend this year’s All State Music Festival, they are: Carol Johnson, Ric Stark, Linda Deuel, Tom Janssen, Steve Hucka, Kathy Troxel, Sue Ringgenberg, and Paul Knouf. Margaret Bruening, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Bruening, was crowned Harvest Festival Queen at the annual F.F.A. Harvest Festival dance held last Friday night at the Lake City Community Building. Her attendants were: Viki Blanchfield, Kathy O’Tool and Randi Blanchard. Alumni: Susan Doty – On November 16, 1949, Susan Jane Doty was born at Lake City, Iowa.

This fall, St. Anthony Regional Hospital was one of 844 hospitals in the nation to receive an “A” grade by The Leapfrog Group, ranking the organization among the safest hospitals in the United States. New Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades, which assign A, B, C, D and F letter grades to hospitals nationwide and provide the most complete picture of patient safety in the U.S., were announced in late October by The Leapfrog Group, a national patient safety watchdog. “We are committed to providing safe, quality care to our patients on a daily basis,” said Ed Smith, president and CEO of St. Anthony. “Being recognized by our peers and safety experts as one of the nation’s safest hospitals is not only a great honor, but also a testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff at all levels.” Developed under the guidance of an Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 30 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign letter grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice per year. It is calculated by top patient safety experts, peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. “Protecting patients from harm is the most important charge for any hospital,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “We recognize and appreciate ‘A’ hospitals’ vigilance and continued dedication to keeping their patients safe.”

Adkins and recognizes instructors for their outstanding teaching accomplishments at the High School, Trade School, Technical School, and Community College

levels. AWS was founded in 1919 with a global mission to advance the science, technology and application of welding and allied joining and cutting processes and strives to move the industry forward in both thought and action, as well as inspire new generations to see the exciting career opportunities available today.

Branden has done an outstanding job in preparing his students at both the North Central Career Academy in Eagle Grove and Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge for careers in the welding field.� The need for welders and welding professionals continues to be huge, he added.

The knowledge and skills that the students are learning at North Central Career Academy and Iowa Central Community College will provide them the foundation for one of these great careers in the welding profession.� Otto attended the award ceremony with Dr. Dan Kinney, President of Iowa Central Community College. “I am honored and humbled to be given this award and feel very proud of our welding program and welding instructor team at Iowa Central,� Otto said. “We have great students to teach and train and I look forward to sharing this award with all of them.

MidAmerican offers winterization tips With low temperatures expected to reach the 20s this weekend, MidAmerican Energy Company wants customers to take steps now to winterize their homes. According to a report released by the United States Department of Energy in early October, customers could pay more to heat their homes this winter compared to last winter due to higher natural gas prices and lower temperatures. MidAmerican Energy observes that current natural gas futures prices for this winter are nearly 40 percent higher than comparable prices observed last winter. “Our warmer-than-normal fall weather may be coming to an end,� said Brian Wiese, director, gas portfolio planning and trading, for MidAmerican Energy. “Last year, temperatures throughout the winter were much warmer than normal and natural gas prices were near historic lows. That may not be the case this year. If we see more normal winter weather this year, as current forecasts suggest, furnaces are going to run more than they did last year. Fortunately, there are several things customers can do to help reduce their heating costs.� The first step in learning how to lower your monthly bill and become more energy efficient is through MidAmerican Energy’s free energy assessment program, HomeCheck. During a HomeCheck, an energy expert inspects your home and examines things like your heating and cooling systems, appliances, insulation levels, lighting, windows and doors and will provide a report on how you can improve the energy efficiency of your home. Customers with homes more than 10 years old whose primary heat

source is delivered by MidAmerican Energy are eligible to participate in a HomeCheck. Customers with newer homes can participate in an online home energy assessment that provides energy saving tips and compares your energy use to similar homes. To schedule a free, on-site HomeCheck, fill out a form online or call 800-545-0762. All customers can improve the energy efficiency of their homes by implementing these five no- or lowcost tips: • Make sure your home is weatherized. Use weather stripping and caulk to seal air leaks and block drafts around doors, windows and chimneys as well as in the basement and attic. Check for other potential air leaks in dropped ceilings, soffits above cabinets, electrical outlets, wiring bypasses and gaps in plumbing. • Service your furnace. A yearly tune-up by a licensed contractor can ensure that your heating system is running efficiently and safely. • Change your filters regularly. A clean filter ensures efficient airf low while maintaining the air quality and comfort of your home. A clogged air filter will make your furnace work harder to keep your home warm. • Keep your thermostat at 68 degrees or lower in the winter. For every degree above 68, you’ll increase your energy use by approximately four percent over a 24-hour period. • Install a programmable thermostat that automatically lowers the temperature when you’re asleep or away.

Case earns first-team all-INA football honors By Doug Dornath

SCC senior Allison Birks (34) pressures a Storm Lake High School player during the Titans first home game of the 2016-17 season in Rockwell City Tuesday, Nov. 22. (photo by Doug Dornath)

For the second season in a row, South Central Calhoun’s Kody Case was named to the Iowa Newspaper Association’s first-team all-state football squad as he earned those honors last weekend. Case, who was named as a 2016 Class 2A first-team utility player for the 2016 season, was a first-team all-stater in Class 1A last season as a wide receiver. In 2016, Case finished with 85 rushes for 810 yards and 11 touchdowns while hauling in 34 receptions for 707 yards and 11 touchdowns. He had 1,517 yards for total offense for the season to lead his team and also led the Titans in scoring with 168 points for the season.
