he Hampton-Dumont Board of Education evaluated concerns over student access to printing and copying, after hearing concerns from H-D High School Student Lexis Kalkwarf. Kalkwarf explained that both students and teachers were informed on the first day of school this year that student access to printing in the library was no longer a practice by the school; the only printer/copier available for use in the school is in the teacher workroom, with use currently only authorized to teachers. The decision to move the printer/copier was not a board decision, and was made on behalf of principal Steve Madson, when the district decreased its number of printer/copiers with its new rental contract. Shared Superintendent Todd Lettow said that the district reduced the amount of printer/ copiers by three. Madson explained that his decision to move the printer/copier into the teacher work room and give access to teachers only was based on both the disturbance the machine created in the library, as well as the move more assignments to be completed online.

BY ETHAN STOETZER The Franklin Chorale is set to usher in the holiday spirit with a blend of traditional and classical holiday tunes. Artistic Director for the chorale and current Hampton-Dumont High School Vocal Instructor Jesse Bunge will continue his direction of the chorale for his fourth year, along with the piano accompaniment of Glenda Green, H-D elementary school music teacher. This year’s performance will also feature Cedar Falls native, Ann Fienup, is a senior instrumental and education major at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, playing the harp.

BY TRAVIS FISCHER Hampton shoppers enjoyed Black Friday late last week by touring the city for a night of wine tasting during the seventh annual Friday Uncorked. Sponsored by the Greater Franklin County Area Chamber of Commerce, the sellout event sent 250 shoppers out on the town with wineglass in hand as they hopped from shop to shop. Sixteen area businesses participated in this year’s event, setting up samples and snacks for the crowd of wine enthusiasts to enjoy as they visited each store.

With 55 samples of wine to tr y across the city, there was plenty of tasting, howeve r e a ch store made sure to promote their People’s Choice Award contestant. — DYANNE PRALLE, Wine Walk Co-Organizer Every store had a selected wine for tasters to sample and judge for their rights for a year and one lucky votfavorite of the night. er will receive a gift basket donated The winner of the People’s by Christensen Jewelry and Fireside Choice Award will get bragging Gifts.

I’ve heard a lot of good things from the businesses. When you can’t get in the door it’s a good sign.

As an event, Friday Uncorked works to promote both local business and area wineries. Townsend Winery, based out of Hansell, returned again this year to serve samples at Hampton One Stop. Meanwhile, a happy coincidence led to Fireside Gifts partnering with Fireside Winery to take advantage of their shared name. At The Wood Cellar, River Valley Orchards didn’t have their popular Crapp Wine for sampling this year, but did bring a range of dry and sweet wines for the crowd.

BY ZACH CLEMENS On the evening of Friday, November 25, just north of Rockwell on U.S. Highway 65, there was a three-vehicle collision that left a Hampton woman deceased at the scene, according to a press release from the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Office. A 2005 Chevrolet K3500 pickup, driven by 59-year-old Paul Wood, of Manly, was traveling north on Partridge Ave when it crossed the centerline and struck a southbound 2005 Chevy Impala driven by Hampton resident, Griselda Tello, 22. Paramedics pronounced Tello dead at the scene. Wood was transported to Mercy Medical Center North Iowa with minor injuries. A third vehicle, driven by 58-year-old Sheffield resident Jacqueline Sickels, was also traveling south on Partridge when her 2001 Daewoo Lanos struck debris in the road that caused her vehicle to spin out of control. Sickels was taken to Mercy by private transportation for treatment. The collision remains under investigation by the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Office and Iowa State Patrol.

Two H-D buses fail inspection

WINE WALK

“The people are wonderful,” said Cindy Donatelli, who served Marquette Wine at the Orange Possum. “There’s a big crowd.” While the wine tasting gets people in the door, many stay for shopping, looking for holiday gift ideas and getting a refresher for what Hampton’s local businesses have to offer. “It gives them the opportunity to show them what they have,” said Chamber Director Newton Grotzinger. For the participating businesses set away from Main Street, ABCM once again donated transportation

for the event. This year’s shuttle bus operated different from previous years. Rather than coordinating multiple drivers circling around the route, a single bus took two tours around the city. This reduces the cost for ABCM and gives the bus riders a more reliable schedule. “We really appreciate that,” said Grotzinger. “We’re thankful for everybody that helps with the event.” Friday Uncorked marks the start of the Chamber’s Holly Dazzle promotion. Profits from the ticket sales will go towards other Holly Dazzle promotions, including the Cham-

ber’s $10,000 raffle fundraiser. The raffle will offer up to 350 people the chance at winning $10,000 during a drawing on December 15. Two additional prizes of $250 in chamber bucks will also be handed out. The popularity of the wine walk was apparent as servers began to run dry by the evening’s end. The event once again was enjoyed by both the participants and the businesses. “I’ve heard a lot of good things from the businesses,” said Dyanne Pralle, who co-organized the event. “When you can’t get in the door it’s a good sign.”

FRANKLIN CHORALE Fienup, 22, has been playing the harp for 12 years, and has been a part University of Minnesota (UM) Symphony Orchestra and UM Wind Ensemble, the La Crosse Symphony. Her interest in the harp began right before the first grade, when she went to the Waterloo Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra at a Lollipop Concert. There, she was picked as a volunteer to assist the harpist in demonstrating the instrument. From there, Fienup was hooked. She learned piano the next year in first grade, then took to the harp. Fienup will be accompanying the chorale through several arrangements, and will also play an independent set. “I know a lot of people have heard typical harp music, and I like showing that it’s more than that one dimensional,” Fienup said. “I’m planning on having a mixture of classical, jazzy and maybe some sort of carol. I haven’t solidified it yet, but I’m looking forward to sharing the different sounds that the harp

access, students need to print at home, off of their school-distributed laptop. The issue of printing at home is that the computers cannot manually be hooked up to the printers because the driver software (what allows the printer to communicate with the computer) cannot be installed on the laptops. The laptops distributed to students have a security feature that doesn’t allow software to be downloaded to preserve operational space and prevents any viruses from being installed on the software. For Kalkwarf to print anything, she needs to email it to her mother, who can then print the assignment. “I’m concer ned about it,” Kalkwarf said. “I do have a printer at home and a USB port. I want it to be beneficial for all kids at high school, not just to be able to print at home. Not all kids have printers and internet at home.” Last year, students were able to print in the library, whenever they wanted, and whatever they wanted. Madson explained that in the library, having a printer going nonstop was a disturbance, and the staff in the library would then have to sort through print jobs when the printer

— LEXIS KALKWARF, H-D student became full. He also said students would print multiple copies to the printer because they didn’t know where it would go. “I guess in moving forward, I’m trying to get us to a point where we can compete globally as far as kids go and move to doing more online and more with tech than we do right now,” Madson said. “It was never the intent to not have students be able to print at home. But there was the intent to move us forward into limiting printing. When I had teachers ask me about printing, I would ask ‘why we need it printed.’ The bottom line was because ‘it’s easier for me to do this when printed.’ If you need it printed, then you can turn it in.” According to Madson, upon review of the data on printing from Aug. 4, through October, prints per school day average between 1,500-3,000 copies per day, with 30 teachers. Madson mentioned that not all teachers printed consistently and that the number was calculated while including weekends and days

when school was not in session. Still, Madson said that printing has been curtailed by 40 percent since the change. Lettow said that last year, when the district bid out its printer/copier contract, many bidders responded that a district of its size was printing a lot for students who have access to computers. In turn, the board reduced the number of printer/copiers by three, and Lettow approached principals about strategy to curtail printing numbers. Lettow said that no firm board action in policy was made for number of copies produced, per day, per person. As it stand currently, students can ask teachers to print something for them, if they are asked. Kalkwarf said that this took teachers away from class time and made them responsible for more duties as a teacher, and cut into teacher prep time. It was the sentiment from the board that students should be able to print from home, and that Technology Director Theresa Peterson would be asked about putting drivers on the computer. In terms of what to do about students who don’t have access to printing, the board proposed phasing out printing over four years as a possible solution.

Lettow said that in the second semester, the school will implement “Schoology,” a learning management software, which teachers are experimenting with, that will allow for modules to be done solely online, to reduce the amount of printing needed by students. The district also uses a software called “Papercut,” which tracks the number of copies and prints made per day, by teacher. The software has the ability to set a fixed number of prints per account, though Lettow said he would rather not mandate a specific number allowed because teachers might actually need more copies than they are allowed.

Cost of repairs incites district to look in to new vehicles BY ETHAN STOETZER Two Hampton-Dumont school buses failed inspection, making them unusable to transport students throughout the district. According to Transportation Director Dan Schipper, now that middle and high school basketball is in season, the district currently has all its buses on routes, transporting students home and to other districts for games. Repairs to the buses will cost the district $10,000- $12,000 each, said Shared Superintendent Todd Lettow. Advice Lettow received was that the money to be put in to the buses wouldn’t be worth it, as they both have approximately 180,000 miles on them. As it currently stands, Lettow said that the district might rent or lease to own buses, depending on an estimate, currently compiled. Schipper said that the buses would only be worth approximately $800 if sold as is. In other transportation related news, Lettow also said that surveys regarding an additional in-town bus route showed that families would in fact be interested. An additional route would need to be drawn up to coordinate busing efforts. In other news: • A draft to establish peanut-aware schools is being compiled to be presented to the board. Such policy would ask students not to bring in peanut products and would mandate that the school not serve anything with peanuts in it. • A new policy expansion on grade reporting was proposed by High School Principal Steve Madson that would steer the school away from straight letter grades to various grades on behavior and understanding of materials. • The board approved a School Budget Review Committee application that increase its taxable authority to account for decreased enrollment. The district’s taxing authority, if approved, would be increased by approximately $52,000.

CHRONICLE EDITORIAL • Chronicle Staff

21 CENTURY ZINES Who remembers the “Fanzine?” Or as they would become more well known in the 1970 counter-culture movement, “Zines?” As a quick refresher, these “zines” were magazines put together by small groups of people for the most niche of audiences. They found their popularity in the 70s as an underground, newsletter-esque method of communication, documenting up and coming bands and cultural trends. They usually weren’t shared for a profit and their quality showed, usually just pieces of copy paper stapled together with taped photos and articles, and rarely in color. Zines date back as far as the 18th century. The most notable Zine-like publication is Thomas Paines’ Common Sense, which wasn’t printed by a newspaper, rather was a copied pamphlet. In the 1930’s Zines functioned as pulp magazines, gaining notoriety among science fiction crowds before becoming popular in the Vietnam-era among counter culture youths. While haphazardly put together for various reasons (jokes, newsletters or even news) zines served the purpose that blogs currently do: topical news/information, usually with an opinion attached to it. If you asked anyone to look at a zine and an issue of the Washington Post, they’d immediately tell you that the zine was far less professionally done, and disregard it, as was done by most, which is why zines never burst outside of the areas they were conceptualized. Now, with the advent and mass accessibility and affordability of the internet, zines, just like newspapers, physically appear to be fading and finding a new home on a digital platform. But with this affordability and accessibility, comes a consequence in determining what is real, and what is fake on the Internet; what is a zine, and what is a credible news source. Many reports following the election have cited the spread of “fake news” on social media as a variable in the election outcomes. Regardless of the election outcome, the spread of fake news poses an even larger problem to the nation that is being toned-down for the sake of the election, rather than upholding the integrity of the only constitutionally protected profession in the world. Fake news, taken as real news, establishes a credibility bias among consumers of media. In our trusting of “professional” news sites, we have come to trust all news sites. With immense access to the Internet and the power of sharing on Facebook, even a comedic story can become newsworthy with a couple thousand shares, and be taken seriously, rather than as humor. What used to separate fake news and real news was this zine vs. newspaper production quality. There’s an economic principal called barriers of entry by production, in which start-up companies can’t reach a big enough economy of scale to compete, so a product is made of a different, more economical material. For example, a newspaper had a large enough profit margin to be able to print thousands of newspaper and mass mail them to readers. Three teenagers don’t have access to that kind of cash, so they went to a local print shop and printed 13 copies of a magazine they made and gave the issues to just their friends. In larger case scenarios, advertisements were sold in zines, but mailing was never an option. With the Internet, a domain name costs approximately $18 per five years, a plethora of server space could cost approximately $200 and an aesthetic website design could cost approximately $80 per year. For under $300, anyone, anywhere, can create a competitive site, which could pay for itself with the right advertising and cheap labor force. Such is the blog model that many follow. No longer is it hard to reach economies of scale with the spread of information. The playing field is level with New York Times. Because of this, the job of the citizens to be as informed as possible, is becoming more challenging. As journalists, we sometimes chase down stories that are fake. We are often faced with the dilemma that just because we can’t verify a fact online, doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Differentiating news is hard. In many ways, the Internet has helped. The ability for something to go viral without the coverage of CNN or the NYT has made the sharing of information faster, and has completely bypassed the commercialization of news. That’s terrific. But it has also made it hard to verify if the viral story not being covered by CNN is true, or if an article from a website with millions of viewers is actually legitimate. But there is something you can do. News travels in packs, and if it is very important, multiple sources will be reporting on it. Want to see if a scandal is legitimate? Google the topic with CNN, Washington post or New York Times next to it. If those sources, with tremendous amounts of man power, haven’t posted something, odds are it isn’t true. The next method is if the source is opinionated. While there is an inherent bias in news, that bias won’t be in the language of reporting. If the text directly insults someone of makes the claim that someone did something, without quoting it from a direct source, odds are that the claims aren’t true. For instance, this article is an opinion. These methods are not tried and true. Some times they fail, which is why this editorial is in the opinion section. Journalists get duped, too. Everyone does. Examining what’s true and what are fact less claims is very hard to do, especially with the Internet. We live in time of convenience, but also of more culpability and responsibility. To keep the integrity of our free press, we must work to keep it honorable.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thankful for Hampton To the editor: As I pen this, it is Thanksgiving, and I am once again grateful that I live in America – in a small farming community – in the wonderful and beautiful state of Iowa. We’re grateful for all of the friendly people who will greet you with a smile and a “Good Morning” or “Good Afternoon,” even if they don’t know you. We’re grateful for our bandshell park, where people can gather to listen to beautiful music played by people who volunteer their time and talents to bring pleasure to others. We’re grateful for the church we attend, Faith Baptist, where we can gather with like-minded people to freely worship God.

And, today we’re thankful for all the wonderful men, women and young people who gave of their time, their effort, their resources and themselves to prepare and serve a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, free of charge, to the public. The food was very good and everyone involved wore a smile as they served. Yes, Hampton is a small farming community. And yes, we do lack some of what one might find in bigger towns or cities, but one thing our little town is big on, is heart! So thank you Hampton, for being a place we’re proud to say we are from and always glad to come home to. Stephen and Jan Blood Hampton

A time to be thankful With the Thanksgiving weekend come and gone, we all had an opportunity to reflect on what we’re thankful for this year. I hope you all had a great holiday and were able to spend some quality time with family and friends. This past Election Day, I was elected to serve my eighth term in the Iowa House. I want to thank the citizens of House District 54 for the honor of representing you in the House as your State Representative. It is a humbling experience and a privilege to receive your continued support. I was also recently re-elected by the House Republican caucus to continue serving as the Speaker of the House. It’s a great honor to serve in this role as it gives me the opportunity to hear from a variety of Iowans from all across the state and provides a stronger voice for our communities. Now that the elections are over, it’s time to put politics aside and put

UNDER THE GOLDEN DOME, TOO

Linda Upmeyer the needs of Iowans at the top of our minds. With a little over a month to go before the 2017 legislative session begins, House Republicans will continue listening to Iowans and begin putting together a pro-growth agenda to move our state forward. We’ll likely continue our work on several issues like funding for water quality and flexibility for schools districts, among other items. As always, we will also be tasked with constructing the state’s budget by living within our means and making investments

in the priority needs of Iowans in a responsible way. I’m also looking forward to working with the Senate’s new Majority Leader, Bill Dix. While a new Republican majority in the Iowa Senate gives the House a partner to enact bold reforms and initiatives that were previously blocked, some things won’t change. Things like responsible budgeting practices, giving taxpayers a seat at the table, and investing in the priorities of Iowans will continue under a unified Republican state government. I’m excited for what’s to come next session and eager to get back to work making Iowa the premier place to grow a business or raise a family. As always, please keep in touch. With session fast approaching, I want to hear your thoughts and ideas for how we can grow our state. You can reach me at linda. upmeyer@legis.iowa.gov or (515) 281-3521.

Windmills make us poor For years, alternative energy development was stifled by petroleum subsidies; among them military protection rackets and depletion allowances. The subsidies were touted as a way to prop up national security and help low income people get around. But if the cost of oil was realized at the pump instead of hidden in tax breaks and subsidies, investment in other forms of energy would have been more attractive. Any government-forced transfer of wealth results in misdirected economic decisions. The only way to know which form of energy is best is to let millions of consumers decide without interference. The market is already full of products that we’ve shown we want through purchase. So in order to cash in on a way to compete with proven goods and services, a crisis is used. In the history of Earth, we are now in the lower one-quarter of the range of Earth’s temperature, yet there is some serious money to be made. In spite of the fact that nature has provided us with the ultimate storage vehicle for solar energy, fossil fuels, we are to believe that these tiny objects (relative to Earth’s surface) such as power plants and cars can drastically change the climate. In the early 1980’s when we started farming, I dug tunnels to the hog

THE ALTERNATIVE

Fritz Groszkruger water tanks through drifts of snow the pigs would walk over as if there was no fence at all. We hung a curtain to cordon off the kitchen because the wood cook-stove was the only way to keep us warm. Now I only use insulated coveralls for ringing the Salvation Army bell at Fareway. The climate is warmer. The climate science debate is focused on whether the climate is warming and laws to fix the problem, while ignoring the consequences of those laws and the benefits they will bring. Susan Solomon (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), one of the world’s top climate scientists, and her colleagues issued a report published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It states that eliminating carbon dioxide emissions from human activity would be offset by natural processes and not slow the trend toward a warmer climate. On the other end of the scale is

the most optimistic estimate of the results of a world totalitarian dictatorship (Invade China?). If we are all controlled to such an extent, the temperature of the earth would be reduced by less than one tenth of one percent of a degree F in a hundred years. We are presently spending $1.5 trillion per year on the global warming industry and according to the alarmists that is still not enough. Imagine how lifestyles would change if we were doing “enough.” This cloudy, windless day would have me huddled by a window with pencil and paper, not at this keyboard and search engine. (Google, by the way, is a joke, controlled by climate change industry tax feeders.) The bottom line is that we should tell the bio-fuel and windmill scam artists to take a hike. We should be skeptical when a crisis is touted as a way to fight a market that is truly our friend. The market makes us wealthy. Government control makes us poor. Those of us who are concerned about income inequality, the cost of medical care, and the cost of living in general should reject the idea of punishing the productive class to reward opportunistic snake oil salesmen.

President-Elect Donald Trump is a busy guy. Too busy for things like taking the stand in a court trial for defrauding students of Trump University. Instead, the man that bragged about not settling lawsuits, settled, paying out $25 million to make the problem go away. That makes sense. Such things can be distracting. Heck, Trump even got ahead of the game by pre-emotively announcing that he wouldn’t use funds from his charitable foundation to pay the settlement. Because using charity funds to pay off his personal debts is something everybody would expect Donald Trump to do. In the end though, $25 million is a small price to pay to free him up so he can get down to business. And by business, I mean his own private business. Because while Trump is reportedly ducking out of intelligence briefings in the ramp-up to his presidency, he is spending a lot of time talking to his new peers in the World Leaders Club. Leaders of countries that Trump happens to be doing business in. And sometimes his daughter, who is running his company in the most keenly sighted “blind trust” in history, is present during these conversations. It’s OK though, because according to Trump, “The President can’t have a conflict of interest.” Which is a sentence I think most people would agree with if said in a different context. But even if he isn’t directing 100 percent of his attention towards his presidency, that’s what delegating is for. Trump can look after his business and delegate the rest to his trusty cabinet. After all, he hires the best people. People like the new White House Chief of Staff, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. I guess “draining the swamp” of Washington D.C. corruption doesn’t mean what I thought it might. For a guy that ran on a distrust of Washington insiders, his White House is going to be run by a guy who is as inside as you can get. On the other hand, even if Trump did drain the swamp, he’s still bringing in scum of his own. Steve Bannon, founding member of Breitbart News, will move from his position as Trump’s campaign manager to Counselor to the President. Under Bannon, Breitbart became Gawker for the alt-right, a haven of sensationalistic garbage journalism that would make Fox News look fair and balanced by comparison. This is the man who will have the ear of the President. It gets better though. Trump’s National Security Advisor will be Michael Flynn, a former Lt. General who was forced into early retirement and spent a good chunk of the last year trying to out-inane Trump on Twitter. According to some of Colin Powell’s leaked emails, Flynn was effectively fired because he was a pain to work with and had only a casual relationship with facts. This is the guy in charge of delivering intelligence reports to President Pence… I mean Trump. Meanwhile, the CIA is going to be directed by Representative Mike Pompeo, which is good news if you’re a fan of torturing inmates at Guantanamo Bay. For Attorney General, Trump has picked Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, a man who voted against prohibiting torture of prisoners, supports civil forfeiture, is strongly anti-immigrant, and who literally said he could not comprehend the fact that Marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol. Thankfully, rumors that Ben Carson would be named the Secretary of Education did not come to pass. To dispel such rumors, Carson, a man who ran for President of the United States, announced that he was not qualified to run a federal agency. Instead, the Secretary of Education will be Betsy DeVos, a woman who has made a political career out of advocating for charter schools over public schools. She’s all about choice, so when she slashes federal funding for public school programs, you’ll still have the choice to drive your kid to Dubuque every day as an alternative. These are the people Trump thinks will make America great again. In the meantime though, he mostly just seems to be making America hate again. This month the FBI released a statistics report showing that hate crimes in general increased by 7 percent from 2014 to 2015. See AGE OF THE GEEK: Page 7

PUBLIC NOTICES

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2016

SECTION A • HAMPTON CHRONICLE

PUBLIC NOTICE Department of Homeland Security (FEMA) PUBLIC NOTICE FEMA-4281-DR-IA & FEMA-4289-DR-IA The Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice to the public of its intent to reimburse State and local governments and agencies, and eligible private non-pro¿t organizations for eligible costs incurred to repair and/ or replace facilities damaged by severe storms, straight-line winds, and Àooding occurring from August 23 to 27, 2016 and September 21 to October 3, 2016. This notice applies to the Public Assistance (PA) and Hazard Mitigation Grant (HMGP) programs implemented under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 USC §§ 5121-5206.as amended. Under a major disaster declaration (FEMA4281-DR-IA) signed by the President on September 29, 2016, the following counties in the State of Iowa have been designated adversely affected by the disaster and are eligible for PA only: Allamakee, Chickasaw, Clayton, Fayette, Floyd, Howard, Mitchell, and Winneshiek (August 23 through August 27, 2016 incident period). All counties in the State of Iowa are eligible for HMGP. Additionally, under a major disaster declaration (FEMA-4289-DR-IA) signed by the President on October 31, 2016, the following counties in the State of Iowa have been designated adversely affected by the disaster and are eligible for PA only: Allamakee, Benton, Black Hawk, Bremer, Buchanan, Butler, Cerro Gordo, Chickasaw,

Clayton, Delaware, Des Moines, Fayette, Floyd, Franklin, Howard, Linn, Mitchell, Winneshiek, and Wright (September 21 through October 3, 2016 incident period). All counties in the State of Iowa are eligible for HMGP. There are no counties declared for Individual Assistance on either of the two aforementioned disasters (FEMA-4281-DR-IA, FEMA-4289-DR-IA). This public notice concerns public assistance activities that may affect historic properties, activities that are located in or affect wetland areas or the 100-Year Floodplain (areas determined to have a one percent probability of Àooding in any given year), and critical actions within the 500Year Floodplain. Such activities may adversely affect the historic property, Àoodplain or wetland, or may result in continuing vulnerability to Àood damage. Such activities may include restoring facilities located in a Àoodplain with eligible damage to pre-disaster condition. Examples of such activities include, but are not limited to, the following: Non-emergency debris removal and disposal; Non-emergency protective measures; Repair/replacement of roads, including streets, culverts, and bridges; Repair/replacement of public dams, reservoirs and channels; Repair/replacement of public buildings and related equipment; Repair/replacement of public water control facilities, pipes and distribution systems; Repair/replacement of public utilities, including sewage treatment plants, sewers and electrical

power distribution systems; and Repair/replacement of eligible private, non-pro¿t facilities (hospitals, educational centers, emergency and custodial care services, etc.). The President’s Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, and Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands, requires that all Federal actions in or affecting the 100-Year Àoodplain or wetland areas be reviewed for opportunities to move the facility out of the Àoodplain or wetland and to reduce the risk of future damage or loss from Àooding and minimize harms to wetlands. However, FEMA has determined that, in certain situations, there are no alternatives to restoring an eligible facility located in the Àoodplain to its pre-disaster condition. These situations meet all of the following criteria: The FEMA estimated cost of repairs is less than 50 percent of the estimated cost to replace the facility and the replacement cost of the facility is less than $100,000. The facility is not located in a floodway or coastal high hazard area. The facility has not sustained structural damage in a previous presidentially declared Àood disaster or emergency. The facility is not de¿ned as critical (e.g., hospital, generating plant, contains dangerous materials, emergency operation center, etc.). FEMA will provide assistance to restore the facilities described above to their pre-disaster condition, and also when measures to mitigate the effects of future Àooding may be incorporat-

ed into the restoration work. For example, insuf¿cient waterway openings under culverts and bridges may cause water back up to wash out the structures. The water back up could wash out the facility and could damage other facilities in the area. Increasing the size of the waterway opening would mitigate, or lessen, the potential for this damage. Additional examples of mitigation measures include providing erosion protection at bridge abutments or levees, and extending entrance tubes on sewage lift stations. Disaster assistance projects to restore facilities, which do not meet the criteria listed above, must undergo a detailed review. The review will include a study to determine if the facility can be moved out of the Àoodplain. The public is invited to participate in the review. The public may identify alternatives for restoring the facility and may participate in analyzing the impact of the alternatives on the facility and the Àoodplain. An address and phone number for obtaining information about speci¿c assistance projects is provided at the end of this Notice. The ¿nal determination regarding the restoration of these facilities in a Àoodplain will be announced in future Public Notices. Due to the urgent need for and/or use of the certain facilities in a Àoodplain, actions to restore the facility may have started before the Federal inspector visits the site. Some of these facilities may meet the criteria for a detailed review to determine if they should be relocated. Generally, facilities may be restored in their original location where at least one of the following

conditions applies: The facility, such as a Àood control device or bridge, is functionally dependent on its Àoodplain location. The facilities, such as a park or other openuse space, already represent sound Àoodplain management and, therefore, there is no need to change it. The facility, such as a road or a utility, is an integral part of a larger network that could not be relocated economically. Emergency action is needed to address a threat to public health and safety. The effects of not relocating the facilities will be examined. In each case, the examination must show an overriding public need for the facility at its original location that clearly outweighed the requirements in the Executive Order to relocate the facility out of the Àoodplain. FEMA will also consult State and local of¿cials to make certain that no actions taken will violate either State or local Àoodplain protection standards. The restoration of these facilities may also incorporate certain measures designed to mitigate the effects of future Àooding. This will be the only Notice to the public concerning these facilities. The National Historic Preservation Act requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. Those actions or activities affecting buildings, structures, districts or objects 50 years or older or that affect archaeological sites or undisturbed ground will require further review to determine if the property is eligible for listing in the Na-

tional Register of Historic Places (Register). If the property is determined to be eligible for the Register, and FEMA’s undertaking will adversely affect it, FEMA will provide additional public notices. For historic properties not adversely affected by FEMA’s undertaking, this will be the only public notice. FEMA also intends to provide Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funding under Section 404 of the Stafford Act to the State of Iowa for the purposes of mitigating future disaster damages. Hazard mitigation projects may involve the construction of a new facility (e.g., retention pond, or debris dam), modi¿cation of an existing undamaged facility (e.g., improving waterway openings of bridges or culverts), and the relocation of facilities out of the Àoodplain. Subsequent Notices will provide more speci¿c information as project proposals are developed. Information about assistance projects may be obtained by submitting a written request to the Regional Director, DHS-FEMA Region VII; 9221 Ward Parkway, Suite 300; Kansas City, MO 64114-3372. The information may also be obtained by calling: (816) 283-7061, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Comments should be sent in writing to the Regional Director, at the above address, within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice.

Lot number nine (9) in Bickford’s Sub-division of the East Half of the Southeast Quarter (E½ SE¼) of Section Twenty-eight (28), Township Ninety-two (92) North, Range Eighteen (18) West of the 5th P.M., and from thence East Sixty (60) feet, thence North one hundred twenty-eight (128) feet, thence West sixty (60) feet and thence South one hundred twenty-eight (128) feet to the place of beginning, in the Town of Dumont, Butler County, Iowa.: WHEREAS, sealed bids shall be accepted until noon on the 8th day of December, 2016, for the purchase of the previously described real estate; WHEREAS, all persons submitted qualified bids shall be given the opportunity to raise his or her bid after all bids are considered; WHEREAS, public hearing of the proposed sale of said real estate should be held following receipt of any sealed bids, and consideration of any raised bids after opening; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Dumont, Iowa, proposes to sell real estate legally described above and shall accept sealed bids for the purchase thereof until noon on the 8th day of December, 2016, at the Dumont City Hall, 625 First Street, Dumont, Iowa; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council reserves the right to accept or reject any submitted bid for any reason it deems appropriate; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that at said scheduled public hearing the City Council will open all sealed bids, accept any raised bids and after the public hearing, the Council may make a ¿nal determination on the proposal to sell said real estate; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the winning bidder shall agree to enter into an additional contract with the City of Dumont wherein the new property owner covenants to demolish the garage and home and clean up the property by no later than May 1, 2017, to maintain said property and keep it in a state of good repair; and in the event said property owner fails to keep it in a state of good repair, then the City may ¿x said property and recover the costs of doing so from the property owner(s) responsible for the dilapidation and moved for its passage. Baldwin further moved to open bids at 7:30 p.m. with the public hearing to follow. Reysack seconded. Roll call: Ayes-Baldwin, Menken, Reysack, Shear, Showalter; Nays-none. Motion carried. Resolution declared adopted, signed by the Mayor and hereby made a portion of these minutes. Menken moved to void all collections the City placed on the property at 322 Second Street. Showalter seconded. Roll call: Ayes-Baldwin, Menken, Reysack, Shear, Showalter; Naysnone. Motion carried. The second reading of Ordinance No. 276 Amending Provisions Pertaining to Water Rates was held. Dan Lunstrum questioned why the DNR would care what rates we charge. At our recent survey, DNR suggested a raise in water rates would be appropriate due to the last raise being eight years ago. Rachel Glaza, Environmental Specialist for the Iowa DNR, stated it is up to the Mayor and City Council to determine the City’s course of action as they project operation and maintenance needs for the present and future. The Council directed the Clerk to contact Attorney Miller within the next couple of weeks to conduct a lien search on the property at 802 Broadway Street. The Council would like to pursue declaring this property abandoned. Showalter moved to approve this month’s Clerk’s report. Shear seconded. Motion carried, ayes all. The Council was informed that the Dumont Volunteer Ambulance Service will be hosting a breakfast on Saturday, December 3, 2016 from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at the Dumont Emergency Center. Showalter moved to pay the bills. Menken seconded. Motion carried, ayes all.

that, we’re going to be tough.” CAL coach Mike Rapp added, “We knew it was going to be tough getting the ball down the court. They did a good job of pressuring at first and finding our weak spot. We had a hard time passing and then rebounding. “Most of them were simple passes.” Clarksville out-rebounded CAL 48-20, a lot on the offensive end which was another key in this one. All of this despite the fact the Indians shot just 36 percent from both the field and the free throw line. “Biggest thing for us is going to be free throws and lay-ups,” Huck said. “We had quite a few missed lay-ups, and like I said, we rebounded a lot of those misses because we were chasing. We got to the line 22 times tonight and 8-for-22 is not a good night for us. We want to be over 50 per-

cent minimum and I’d like to see us more like 60, so that is something to work on.” Madison Stirling was a benefactor of the offensive rebounding, recording a double-double with 15 points and 16 boards – 11 of the rebounds were on the offensive end. She was 7-of-12 from the field. Rapp’s team was led by Stephanie Thielen, who finished with seven points and six rebounds. “I told them, ‘I saw some positives, as far as being aggressive at times,’” Rapp said. “We were aggressive on the rebound.” Clarksville freshmen Emma Poppe and Kori Wedeking finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds, respectively. Huck said he felt confident starting two freshmen as well as playing five total freshmen throughout the course of the game. “The lineup is still a work in progress,” Huck said. “We had some illness and injury. I think I’ve got one true healthy post player right now. (Chloe) Ross is dealing with something right now. We’ll move them in and out and try a few things here early on in the season to see if we can solidify it, but tonight showed perfectly that I’m confident all of the girls can go on the floor and play. “I don’t think anybody had a bad night; I think everybody had a great night and everybody did something for us that helped us pull the victory out here tonight.” Most of CAL’s points came from the free throw line. The Cadets were 9-of-18 from the charity stripe in the game and were 4-of-5 in the fourth quarter. “I think they got there (to the line) because they were staying aggressive,” Rapp said. “I have some girls who can take it to the hoop. We’re working on it.”

It was a wild Sunday of football after the Thanksgiving holiday, culminating in the best primetime game of the year. While fans across the country might have still been digesting turkey and stuffing, the Bears’ receivers were busy ruining the first ever start by Matt Barkley. Although he threw two interceptions, the former USC quarterback attempted 54 passes, completing 28 for 316 yards and three touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans. Yet he would need four touchdowns to win the game, and the Bears’ wide-outs just wouldn’t give it to him. Twice on the final drive two different Bears receivers dropped Barkley’s touchdown passes in the endzone. Its not too surprising though, as they had been dropping passes all day. With Jay Cutler likely done in the Windy City, and the Bears 2-9, look for them to upgrade the quarterback position in the offseason, and maybe their coaching staff as well. The best Sunday Night Football game of the year was also the most devastating—for Broncos fans. For much of the night it looked like a good old-fashioned defensive battle between two powerhouses with the score at halftime 9-3 with Kansas City leading because of a safety and a free kick touchdown return by rookie speedster Tyreek Hill. Somehow the offenses exploded for a combined 45 points in the second half. It was the Miller and Houston show for much of the game, with both outside linebackers wreaking havoc and wrecking plays in route to a combined 20 tackles and six sacks. There were incredible plays of speed and agility by Hill, huge pass plays of 35, 65 and 76 yards, and after Fowler streaked down the sideline to put Denver up 8 with about three minutes left. I, along with all of Broncos Country, assumed the game was over. No way could Alex Smith move the ball down the field against Denver’s defense and score a touchdown and two-point conversion. I also sat in disbelief when it happened. Then both fan bases faced the prospect of a tie, with Denver attempting a 62-yard field goal with a minute left. A lot of pundits are saying Broncos’ coach Gary Kubiak shouldn’t have kicked it, he said he was going for a win, not a tie. I respect that, but he should have just gone for it on fourth down, yet it is easy to Monday morning quarterback. As Cairo Santos’ kick bounced off the uprights and in, I felt the division title slipping away, and if the playoffs started today, the defending champs would not be involved. Luckily, they don’t. The Cowboys have now won 10 in a row after beating the red hot Redskins on Thanksgiving. At this point I would say the Cowboys, with their dynamic rookie tandem are the favorites to win the Super Bowl in Houston this year, but its not even close to a guarantee, and that’s why they play the game.

WEEKLY PRO RACING UPDATE Veteran driver Casey Mears is looking for a new ride after Germain Racing announced Ty Dillon will race the team’s No. 13 car in NASCAR’s Cup Series next season. Mears had a deal with Germain and sponsor GEICO through 2018, but a frustrating season with Mears finishing 28th in the standings, as well as likely significant support from RCR for Dillon, spurred the change. Ty, 24, follows older brother Austin into the top NASCAR series. The Dillons are grandsons of team owner Richard Childress, and Germain Racing is in a technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing. Ty Dillon finished third in the Xfinity Series standings last year. He was fifth in the 2016 points after failing to advance out of the first round of its Chase. He has one win in the Xfinity Series, coming in the 2014 race at Indianapolis. Childress said his grandson “has done an exceptional job for us at RCR in every series he has raced in.”

ST. PAUL – The University of Northwestern tabbed a Upper Midwest Athletic Conference Player of the Week nominations recently. Junior outside hitter Lindsey Peterson, a native of Sheffield and West Fork, was able to slate her seventh honor on the season.

Closing the regular season competition. Peterson recorded 60 kills over a three-match span with two double-doubles and tallied 38 digs for 3.80 digs per set.

Answer : c) Richard Childress changed to #3 in 1976 as a tribute to Junior Johnson’s past as a driver. Earnhardt ﬁrst drove the #3 in 1981.

BY KRISTI NIXON LATIMER – Forcing turnovers into points was the big key for Clarksville in its 62-19 season-opening road win over CAL on Tuesday, Nov. 22. The Indians came up with 27 steals, more than half converted into baskets or points from the free throw line as they opened 1-0, 1-0 in the Iowa Star North. “That is one thing with this group that we really spent a lot of time talking with them, pushing is that we want to get the ball up the floor, we want to force the other team into throwing it away or ver so turning it over et out we could get and run,” Clarksoe Huck ville coach Joe ught we said. “I thought ellent did an excellent night. job of that tonight. p the We moved up floor, we got layups, we got easy buckets. “Even the ed, ones we missed, it seems like we had two or three rebounds per trip.

Ned Jarrett Born: Oct. 12, 1932 Cup wins: 50 Cup top-tens: 239 Cup championships: 2 Ned Jarret won 50 races during his career, tied for 11th all time with Junior Johnson. He also won the NASCAR Championship in 1961 and 1965. Jarrett raced in his first national race at the 1953 Southern 500 at Darlington Speedway. He was out after 10 laps after the engine leaked oil. In 1959, he was looking to pursue a career in Grand National (now Sprint Cup) series. He purchased a Junior Johnson Ford for $2,000. He did not have enough money to cover the check, so he waited until the bank closed to write the check, entered two races, and won them both to cover the cost of his car. He won his first championship in 1961. In 1965, Jarrett became a super star when he won 13 races and another Grand National championship. On October 13, 2010 Ned Jarrett was selected to be inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame as one of the five 2011 NASCAR Hall of Fame inductees.

NIACC to host UNI MBA program The University of Northern Iowa (UNI) is partnering with North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) to offer its MBA degree program on the NIACC campus. The first cohort of students will begin the program in January, 2017. This MBA degree is an executive-style program intended for business professionals. To make the program accessible to working adults, classes will be held on Friday evenings and Saturdays. Each course will be taught over an 8-11 week time frame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This new program highlights NIACC and UNIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing commitment to providing students with unique opportunities to advance their education,â&#x20AC;? said NIACC President Steve Schulz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By bringing the program to the NIACC campus, we give students the opportunity to belong to a cohort of students with similar goals. The in-person aspect of a graduate program, as opposed to an all online option, allows stu-

dents to learn from their peers, make connections, and advance their careers at the same time.â&#x20AC;? The UNI MBA program has been named a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Business School MBAâ&#x20AC;? by the Princeton Review. MBA graduates typically see an average salary increase of 4650 percent, according to academic studies. U NI MBA Program Director Dale Cyphert shared, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are delighted to be partnering with NIACC to bring this distinctive program to the Mason City area. Professionals across the region will now have access to our highly respected MBA program conveniently close to where they live and work.â&#x20AC;? There are currently five seats still available. Interested students must apply by Dec. 1, 2016 to be considered for the January cohort. More information about the program is available on the UNI website at busi ness.u ni.edu / MBAMasonCity.

Start Smart Workshop offered The NIACC Pappajohn Center and the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is offering a free two-hour workshop designed for anyone who is considering starting a business. At Start Smart, participants will learn how to create a business plan, do market research, consider different types of business ownership, and learn how to register a business. Start Smart will be offered on Wednesday, Dec. 14 from 9:30-11:30 a.m., at Iowa Works, 600 S. Pierce Ave., Mason City. The activities involved in starting a business fall under two broad categoriesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;feasibility (the business plan) and administrative tasks. While we like to focus on the feasibility issue, Start Smart provides information and the chance to ask questions on numerous other topics. After attending Start Smart, Small Business Development Center staff will be available to assist you in reviewing your business plan, or to provide guidance with other issues. To register, contact Mary Spitz at NIACC by calling (641) 422-4342 or email her at spitzmar@niacc.edu.

Red Cross urges BIRTHDAYS donors to give the perfect gift this winter The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give the perfect gift this holiday season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lifesaving blood or platelet donation. By rolling up a sleeve, donors can help ensure patients continue to receive treatment throughout the holiday season. Busy holiday schedules and travel plans make it more challenging for regular donors to give, and many businesses and organizations postpone hosting blood drives during the holidays for these same reasons. This can lead to a decline in blood donations, but the need is constant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While many of us gather with friends and family this time of year, patients may spend the holidays in a hospital room,â&#x20AC;? said Nick Gehrig, communications director, Red Cross Blood Services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The need for blood doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a break for the holidays. Please make an appointment to give the most meaningful gift of all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the gift of life through a blood or platelet donation.â&#x20AC;? Blood donors with type O, B negative and A negative blood can help more patients with one appointment by making a Power Red donation at select Red Cross blood donation centers and blood drives. Power Red donors give a concentrated dose of red blood cells â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the most commonly transfused blood component. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body and are frequently given to trauma and surgery patients. During a Power Red donation, red blood cells are separated from other blood components, and plasma and platelets are then safely and comfortably returned to the donor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With just a little extra time at their appointment, donors can have an even greater impact on patients in need,â&#x20AC;? added Gehrig.

Oppurtunity Village Festival of Trees planned for Dec. 1-4 Kick off the 2016 holiday season at the 21st annual Festival of Trees, taking place Dec. 1-4 at Opportunity Village in Clear Lake. More than 100 Christmas trees, wreaths and swags of all sizes will be on display and for sale at the Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kinney Lindstrom Center gymnasium throughout the weekend. Various volunteers, including local organizations, businesses and residents, decorated the trees. Events planned during the festival include special activities for children and families, the Lights on 5K run/walk, an opening-night gala and cookie walk, as well as live musical entertainment. The festival is a fundraiser for Opportunity Village, a nonprofit organization that supports more than 600 individuals with disabilities through 30 North Iowa communities. Proceeds from the event will benefit services for those supported by the Village.

At the start of the year the group welcomed a student teacher, Raelyn Grober, from Iowa State University to help advise the chapter. She has been a great help with assisting the chapter with field trips and sharing her knowledge of agriculture with the group. Soils Judging took place on Sept. 27 at Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls. Tall Corn FFA had four teams compete at the event against 49 other teams from across North Central Iowa. Team one, consisting of Briana Flack, Brienna Reichenbacher, Dalton Chipp and Mattilyn Flack, placed eighth. Team two, consisting of Hannah Winkowitch, Aaron DeVries, Kolton Koenen and Brody Angstman placed 19th. Team three, consisting of Hannah Chamberlin, Iris Varrelman, Meg Christiansen and Jonathon Aalfs placed 33rd. Finally, team four, consisting of Jon Gamble, Emilio Valenzuela and Mac Rust placed 46th. Mattilyn Flack placed 22nd overall, with the highest score from the Tall Corn chapter. Brienna Reichenbacher had the second highest score placing 25th. On the same day, the 18 new FFA members participated in Greenhand Fire-Up. They participated in many different sessions on leadership and met many FFA members from across the North Central District. The Tall Corn FFA is very excited to see their members competing in events that relate to their future career choices. SUBMITTED PHOTO LEFT: Tall Corn FFA received a $300 Working Here Fund grant for the Water Rocks program.

LEFT: The Tall Corn FFA attended the National FFA Convention the week of October 18-21. The chapter left Tuesday morning from CAL and traveled with four other schools: Belmond-Klemme, Forest City, North Iowa and Lake Mills. The students in attendance were Aaron DeVries, Hannah Winkowitch, Briana Flack, Brienna Reichenbacher, Brody Angstman, Brianna Angstman, McKayla Drake, Blake Miller, Stephanie Ramirez, Marlud Landeros, Mac Rust, Jonathon D. Schmidt and Mattilyn Flack. During the week, students were able to tour a number of agricultural related facilities. The first stop was Prairie Fruits Farm and Creamery in Illinois. Here, students were able to see a dairy goat operation along with viewing a creamery and herb garden. Students were lucky enough to sample cheese and ice cream made from the milk the dairy goats provided on the farm. The next stop was Beck’s Hybrids Seeds, where students were able to gain more knowledge about this family operated company. Beck’s showed students around their greenhouses and facilities explaining how they research new hybrids and the process of producing and shipping that seed to customers. A third tour was taken to a horse boarding facility, On the Rail Farms. This interactive tour had students racing to muck out stalls, identifying horse breeds, view show jumping, questioning a farrier, listening to an equine veterinarian and learning about nutrition. Lastly, the final tour was at Dixie Chopper. Here members received a very informational tour about how Dixie Chopper has grown and how each lawn mower is made. On the tour, students viewed manufacturing of the lawn mower in addition to viewing the end product. On Oct. 19, at National Convention, members wore their official dress to attend the first general session where speaker Diana Nyad gave a impacting message on never giving up. Ms. Nyad is a distance swimmer who made a goal of swimming from Cuba to Florida which was thought to be impossible. After various attempts, Ms. Nyad finally completed her goal in 2013. The rest of the week, members participated in workshops, viewed additional sessions and attended the career show and expo. At the career show and expo, students were able to talk to many businesses and colleges about their future careers. A few students were able to try their hand at steer roping and welding. The chapter also received the 2- Star National Chapter award. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Bake In the Fun Making a cake with a treat hidden inside is as easy as 1-2-3 with Fillables Bakeware from Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Advantage. Because the bakeware does all of the work for you, there are no special baking skills required; just pour in the batter and bake. Then, fill the pockets in the cake with any treat you like and spread icing to cover the surprise. Next, add the top cake layer, ice the whole cake, slice and serve.

reating one-of-a-kind desserts doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to take hours in the kitchen or even exceptional baking skills. With a little imagination and the right tools, you can whip up surprisingly delicious sweets that will surprise and delight your friends and family.

)RFXV RQ Ă DYRU If your baking repertoire typically consists of white cake and chocolate frosting, spice things up a bit by experimenting with new fillings and flavor combinations. Opt for complementary or contrasting tastes for a truly delectable dessert. For example, pair fudgy chocolate cake with tangy berries, or see how a bold flavor like lemon adds a new dimension to a mild vanilla.

Add a special touch Infusing new flavors into your favorite cake or brownie recipe is surprisingly easy when you use bakeware made for the purpose. Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Advantage Fillables Bakeware helps home bakers easily create â&#x20AC;&#x153;treat-filledâ&#x20AC;? desserts. Each bakeware set comes with two pans: One pan creates the bottom half of the cake and forms indentations in the cake you can fill with fruit, puddings, candy and more, while the second pan creates the top half of the cake, which hides the surprise fillings.

Shape it up Artfully applied frosting and other decorations can instantly dress up a basic cake, but another option is upgrading the shape of the cake itself. In addition to traditional square, round and sheet cake pans, the Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Advantage Fillables Bakeware collection includes mini heart cakes, fluted cakes, mini loaf cakes and a cake cones pan. These special shapes make it easy to create enviable desserts out of classic recipes. Find more surprisingly easy dessert ideas at FillablesbyBakersAdvantage.com.

SECTION B • HAMPTON CHRONICLE

Is exercise always worth the sweat? Private pesticide applicator Area fishing Committing to a routine of physical activity is one of the healthiest decisions you can make. Before you get moving, though, consider how best to be safe: • Get medical clearance. Talk to your doctor before starting an exercise program, especially if you have a preexisting condition. Ask if there are any activities you should avoid. • Consider health concerns. Keep in mind how your ongoing health problems affect your workouts. For example, diabetics may need to adjust the timing of medication and meal plans when setting an exercise schedule. Above all, if something feels wrong, such as sharp pain or unusual shortness of breath, simply stop. You may need to scale back or try another activity. • Start slow. If you haven’t been active in a while, it can be harmful to immediately go “all out.” Instead, build up your exercise program little by little. Try spacing workouts in ten-minute increments twice a day. Or try just one class each week. Prevent injury and discomfort by warming up, cooling down, and keeping water handy. • Recognize problems. Exercise should never hurt or make you feel lousy. Stop exercising immediately and call your doctor if you feel dizzy or short of breath, develop chest pain or pressure, break out in a cold sweat, or experience pain. Also stop if a joint is red, swollen, or tender to touch. Listen to your body. If you tend to experience pain or discomfort after exercising for a while, try exercising for less time but more frequently throughout the day. Your doctor might recommend specific exercises to reduce pain or build strength. Depending on your condition, you might also need to avoid certain exercises altogether or during flare-ups. In some cases, you might need to consult a physical or occupational therapist before start-

recertification training report for scheduled for March 2017 north central Private pesticide applicators that ment of Agriculture and Land StewIowa renew their certification through ardship (IDALS). The date for the

ing to exercise. • If you have low back pain, for example, you might choose low-impact aerobic activities, such as walking and swimming. These types of activities won’t strain or jolt your back. • If you have exercise-induced asthma, you might choose activities that involve short bursts of activity — such as tennis or baseball. If you use an inhaler, be sure to keep it handy while you exercise. • If you have arthritis, the exercises that are best for you will depend on the type of arthritis and which joints are involved. Work with your doctor or a physical therapist to create an exercise plan that will give you the most benefit with the least aggravation on your joints. Even if you are frail or chairbound, you can still experience the physical and mental benefits of exercise. Chair-bound adults can im-

prove fitness with strength training, f lexibility, and cardio activities. If being chair-bound has prevented you from trying exercise in the past, take heart knowing that when you become more physically active, the results will amaze you. Like any exercise program, a chair-bound fitness routine takes a little creativity and personalization to keep it fun. Don’t feel guilty if you have to skip a day or don’t exercise for as long as normal on another day. Some days you may walk for 30 minutes, another day it may only be for 10. Just remember: something is always better than nothing.

The program begins promptly at the times listed. Participants must attend the full twohour program to receive credit for attendance.

2016-17 test will be Friday, March 17 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., at NIACC in Mason City. Applicators who cannot attend the sessions in Franklin County may attend sessions in any county. The Franklin County Extension Office has locations, dates and times of courses in surrounding counties.

DNR seeks input from migratory game bird hunters The Iowa DNR is asking Iowa migratory game bird hunters what they liked and disliked about the 2016 migratory game bird seasons. This is the first step in developing proposed 2017 migratory game bird season dates. To provide input, please email comments to Orrin Jones, DNR waterfowl biologist, at Orrin.Jones@ dnr.iowa.gov by Dec. 1. Migratory game bird hunters will have the opportunity to provide additional comments in the early part of 2017 after season dates and bag limits have been proposed to the state’s Natural Resource Commission. The process of establishing season dates is guided by regulatory schedules established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which requires a state’s seasons to be proposed before current hunting seasons have concluded. For more information, visit the DNR’s migratory game bird webpage.
