Compensation board to discuss county official salaries The Ida County Compensation Board will meet on Dec. 13 at 5:30 p.m. at the Ida County Courthouse in the supervisors’ meeting room. The agenda notes they will establish a quorum, approve previous minutes, reorganize and then consider county official salaries. Last year, the compensation board unanimously agreed to recommend
a 6 percent across the board raise for all county elected officials. Following the recommendation from the compensation board, the supervisors only approved a 5 percent raise for all county officials during its meeting in January. Compensation board members include the following: LuAnn Bennett, Galva, representing the county supervisors; Dennis
Lansink, Arthur, representing the county supervisors; Robert Butcher, Holstein, representing the county attorney; Rita Frahm, Galva, representing the county auditor; Sandy Gray, Holstein, representing the county recorder; Rusty Sadler, Battle Creek, representing the county treasurer and Dan Remer, Ida Grove, representing the county sheriff.
Ida County Sheriff’s Office looking to add second canine deputy The members of the Ida County Sheriff’s Office strive to provide a high level of service to the residents and business owners of Ida County. The sheriff’s office is continuously looking to improve the level of training along with the purchase of equipment necessary to maintain a standard of excellence. In the process to improve the services offered, the Ida County Sheriff’s Office has recently decided to expand its police canine unit by adding a second canine deputy. In 2014, the sheriff’s office reestablished its canine unit with the purchase of K-9 Anou, a threeyear old female Belgian Malinois. Since the re-establishment of the unit, K-9 Anou and her handler Deputy Andrew Shillington have
proven to be effective in locating contraband that may otherwise have gone undiscovered by the ordinary patrol deputy. In the two years the canine unit has been active, they have assisted in two federal narcotics convictions and multiple misdemeanor narcotics convictions. Deputy Shillington and K-9 Anou have also competed annually in the United States Police Canine Association’s Narcotics and Patrol Dog field trials and have won several awards including two first place team trophies. Deputy Shillington and Anou have also represented the sheriff’s office at the United States Police Canine Association National Patrol Dog Trials in
Gloucester Township, N.J., where they placed 33rd out of a total of 80 other canine teams from all around the United States. Due to the success of the canine unit, the sheriff’s office is looking to expand its capabilities by adding another canine deputy. The canine the county plans to deploy will be trained to perform tracking, ranging from a missing child to wanted criminals, field searches, school searches, building searches, criminal apprehension and evidence recovery. It is the department’s belief the expansion of the K-9 unit will give another tool in the arsenal to fight, prevent and solve crimes by allowing a canine deputy to be on duty almost 24 hours a day.
Holstein Chamber Spotlight CrossRidge Evangelical Free Church The story of CrossRidge Evangelical Free Church begins in October 2009 when God brought together two groups in Holstein who had been praying about reaching their community with the good news of Jesus Christ. The group decided to pursue affiliation with the Evangelical Free Church of America. The initial launch team met often during the first half of 2010 and several outreach events were scheduled and disciple-making relationships continued to be cultivated within the community. Two preview worship services were held at Lohff-Schumann Memorial Community Center in fall 2010. After a year of planning, CrossRidge launched weekly Sunday morning worship services at the community center on Jan. 9, 2011. Children’s Sunday school and adult Bible study fellowship (ABF) began in February. The Lord added numbers so that worship was moved into the gymnasium by Easter
2011. Pastor Tyler Parson accepted the call to serve as CrossRidge’s first pastor on May 15, 2011. In 2012, the office facility at 117 S. Main was purchased and renovated, small group Bible studies in homes began and the first members were admitted under the bylaws. In 2013, Gayle Brown was hired as part-time ministry assistant. By God’s grace, CrossRidge continues to cultivate new relationships, develop new leaders, grow in God’s Word and equip its people to do the work of the ministry that He has uniquely gifted the church to accomplish. CrossRidge desires to be a disciple-multiplying movement that sees lives, relationships, families, communities and generations transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. CrossRidge gathers on Sunday mornings at Lohff-Schumann Memorial Community Center. Morn-
ing worship begins at 9:30 a.m. with RiDGE KiDS (pre-kindergarten through sixth grade Sunday school), youth group (seventh through 12th grade) and adult Bible fellowship. Worship begins at 10:30 a.m. CrossRidge members are transparent people who have genuine care for each other. Don’t worry about wearing your Sunday best. “We’re real people who are more concerned with loving God and loving others than impressing anybody. We provide a nursery for children four years and under, children’s activity bags and tables in the back for families with young children or folks with health struggles. We worship through contemporary music and our preaching comes directly out of the Bible and relates to our everyday lives. Our desire is for the Bible to impact our community through ordinary people who serve an extraordinary God.”

Plan for holiday visits with older adults A visit from family and friends during the holidays can make life better for older adults in care facilities. Barbara Dunn Swanson, a human sciences specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, suggests planning ahead to make the most of these visits. Swanson, who specializes in family life issues, offers the following tips for safe and healthy visits with older friends and relatives. Start by planning ahead “As you begin to plan your visit, call the facility and check the visiting hours before you contact your older friend or relative,” Swanson said. “That way you will ensure that you’ll have enough time to visit with your loved one without interfering with medical treatments or other activities. This also gives your loved one time to anticipate and look forward to your visit. “If you are planning to visit someone in specialized care, call ahead to make sure you understand visiting hours and regulations. They may differ from those in the rest of the facility,” Swanson added. Bring children “Children add a special kind of cheer to care centers and hospitals, so certainly bring them along. But check with the facility first to make sure children are allowed and under what conditions,” Swanson said. Prepare children for the visit by explaining what they might see and answering their questions. Encourage them to bring a favorite toy or book. Older loved ones may
&DOO 8V 7RGD\
enjoy the experience of watching young children play, Swanson said. Share the gift of fellowship “Your visit is the best gift you can give someone in a care facility. During your time together, you can tell your loved one stories, read a humorous book aloud or share photographs of past holidays,” Swanson said. Remember to sit close. Offer a hug or to hold hands. Touch has a tremendous impact on the physical and emotional need to feel connected to others. “Pay attention and take cues from the person you’re visiting about how long to stay. If you leave too early, you may not hear their concerns or the visit may be forgotten. If the visit is too long, your loved one may become tired,” Swanson said. Limit the number of people who are visiting at one time. Some individuals may become more confused or anxious with large numbers of visitors at the same time. “A visit to the care facility is a wonderful gift, but when possible, plan a day ‘out’ suited to your loved one’s interests, health and strength, and your ability to handle his or her needs. If the excursion is well planned, your loved one may be able to enjoy a day
away,” Swanson said. She suggests that those who want to bring a gift for their loved one consider the following: a large, colorful calendar to help the person keep a sense of time; music the person would enjoy; personal toiletries, tissues or a decorative tissue holder; books or magazines in large print; flowers or a new plant; stamps and cards with pre-addressed envelopes; a gift certificate to the hair salon; specialized clothing, or socks or slippers with non-skid surfaces; a large-face or talking clock; a puzzle or craft supplies. The care facility staff may have suggestions on gifts as well. Always check with staff before bringing food. If it’s okay to bring food, choose appropriate and health conscious snacks. Stay home if not feeling well Care center residents and hospital patients can be at higher risk for infection. If children are sick or not feeling well, don’t bring them along for the visit. “Likewise, if you have a cold or the flu, stay home,” Swanson said. “ In these instances, a phone call is a better way to let your loved one know you care. If possible, you can set up a later time to visit when you are well.”

Looking Back Forty years ago The Galva Elementary School operetta will be presented on Dec. 8 in Galva. The operetta will be given by the kindergarten though sixth grade classes. Miss McCormick will direct the night’s entertainment. The operetta is based on the story of a deaf orphan boy and his sister. The boy, portrayed by Mark Lenz, is granted three wishes for Christmas. The Galva Junior High School choir will perform two numbers before the operetta. The spot for a possible new courthouse has been switched from the spot where the courthouse now stands to land along Highway 175 at the entrance to Moorehead Pioneer Park. County supervisor chairman Tom Odgaard said the supervisors decided to make the change because of pressure from the Iowa division of historic preservation and recommendations from SIMPCO. Thirty years ago A bridge on the county road between Galva and Holstein will soon be repaired if GodbersenSmith Construction of Ida Grove accepts a proposal for contract work signed by the Ida County Supervisors on Tuesday. The
bridge, open for one lane traffic only since early fall of this year, is in need of pier frame welding. The county does not have the proper equipment to perform the task. The Ida County Compensation Board recommended a freeze in salaries Thursday for the county’s elected officials next year. A public hearing was set for Dec. 18 to receive comments on the recommendation. The Ida County Board of Supervisors will have final say on the freeze in salaries. Once they receive recommendations, they can decrease but cannot increase the proposals. Twenty years ago The Galva City Council discussed the city’s water project at its meeting Nov. 18. DeWild, Grant, Reckert and Associates engineer Gordon Krause presented the updated water project costs for the council to review. Following discussion, the council approved project two, which includes a 100,000 gallon water tower, some looping and distribution changes for a total cost of $747,000. The Holstein City Council discussed job descriptions for a parks and recreation board and director at its meeting Monday. The parks and recreation board
of directors will be a fivemember board that will serve in an advisory capacity with the parks and recreation director. Advertisements for the position of director will be placed in local papers with a deadline of Jan. 15 for applications. Ten years ago The Ida County Board of Supervisors approved Platinum Ethanol LLC’s zoning application during its Nov. 28 meeting. Steve Core of Fagen, Inc. said the construction company is currently working on the road that will take trucks around the plant. The air permit has been applied for and should be approved after the first of the year for the plant. The Holstein City Council handled a light agenda Monday taking action on a sewer extension project and placement of a memorial event sign. John Devitt, an engineer for Kuehl and Payer Ltd., was present to get direction on a sewer extension project for Lena and First Streets. The G-H School District was given approval to erect an event sign on the south side of the entrance of the parking lot west of the high school on Maple Street in the undeveloped alley south of Maple Street on city owned property.
Cookie walk: The Holstein American Legion Hall was the place to be Saturday morning. Shoppers were able to enjoy vendor booths with different items for sale while kids met with Santa to give him their wish lists. Here, local residents enjoy the holiday cookie walk, where every flavor of cookie fills tables. Shoppers paid by the pound for cookies of all shapes and sizes.

Boyle receives scholarship Peyton Boyle of Holstein was selected as one of 15 recipients of a scholarship from Landus Cooperative in collaboration with Iowa State University’s Department of Economics. Boyle was selected for the scholarship, available only to freshmen majoring in agricultural business, in part for demonstrating agriculture leadership through involvement in agricultural organizations. Additionally, recipients
have a minimum cumulative high school grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) and graduated in the top 25 percent of their high school class. This $1,000 scholarship is an important way to support the experiences of those students who are interested in careers related to grain marketing, commodity merchandizing, agronomics, elevator management or grain marketing analysis in a rural area.

Cakes received after 6 p.m. will not be judged but will be placed in the silent auction.

Lifeline Telephone Assistance Program changes The Iowa Utilities Board reminds eligible Iowa consumers that, beginning Dec. 2, major changes took effect regarding the Lifeline Telephone Assistance Program that subsidizes telecommunications services. Earlier this year, the Federal Communications Commission issued the 2016 Lifeline Modernization Order that added broadband Internet access service to the list of subsidized services. Currently, the Lifeline program offers a $9.25 monthly subsidy for voice service for either one landline or wireless telephone service. On Dec. 2, broadband providers became eligible to participate in the Lifeline program and to offer subsidized service. The service can be either wireless or a fixed service such as cable, DSL or fiber optic. Lifeline subsidies will remain limited to one per household. Customers will have to choose wheth-
er to obtain federally subsidized service from a telephone or broadband provider. In addition, the FCC changed the rules for demonstrating eligibility for Lifeline. Some requirements for proof of eligibility will no longer be accepted; others have been added, according to the FCC’s order. Customers may continue to verify eligibility through proof of participation in SNAP (food stamps), Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Federal Public Housing Assistance. In addition, participation in veterans’ pension or survivor benefits now may be used as proof of Lifeline eligibility. Participation in the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), the school lunch program or the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) will no longer be accepted as proof of eligibility. Customers can also qualify if
District punter: Ridge View senior Ryan McGuire earned the Class A district two punter most valuable player award for 2016. McGuire punted the ball 20 times for a 32.9 yards per punt average. Head coach Jeff DeHaan presented the award to McGuire during the team’s annual banquet. (Photo submitted)
they can provide proof of income below 135 percent of the federal poverty level. Changes to the eligibility rules apply to customers who sign up for Lifeline or recertify their eligibility on or after Dec. 2. The FCC made the changes to the verification requirements to pave the way for an eventual move to an electronic verification system that will rely on electronic records. Lifeline providers will be required to meet certain minimum standards set by the FCC. The standards will be upgraded annually through 2021. The standards as of Dec. 2 will be: ¡Landline: unlimited local calling ¡Wireless voice service: 500 free minutes ¡Wireless broadband: 500 megabytes (MB) of data ¡Fixed broadband: 150 gigabytes of data; download speed of 10 MB/second; upload speed of 1 MB/second The federal subsidy for mobile or fixed broadband will remain at $9.25 per month through November 2021. However, the federal monthly subsidy for both landline and wireless voice service will be phased out, decreasing to $7.25 on Dec. 1, 2019; to $5.25 on Dec. 1, 2020, and phasing out completely on Dec. 1, 2021. The only exception will be in areas with only a single Lifeline provider, where the subsidy for voice service will remain at $5.25 beyond that date. The federal government provides the subsidy, which comes from the federal Universal Service Fund. The federal USF is assessed on all telecommunications carriers and may be recovered through a monthly surcharge on telephone bills. More information regarding the Lifeline program is available on the Board’s website at https:// iub.iowa.gov/lifeline, and the FCC’s online guide to the Lifeline program is available at: https:// www.fcc.gov/general/lifeline-program-low-income-consumers.

The Raptors lost to A-A 48-21 and to West Sioux 70-10. The Raptors were open at five weights classes. “Our wrestlers worked hard,” noted coach Caleb Christensen. “They left it on the mat and that is what we have been preaching in the wrestling room since day one. We have a lot to work on and we knew that we would. It was good to get the first meet under our belt and get to see some great competition. “The coaches are excited about the potential this group has on the mat. They come ready to work each day in the wrestling room and the heart they have shows in competition.” Evan Else was a double winner for Ridge View. He won his 152-pound matches by fall and major decision.

It was good to see kids make the necessary adjustments from Tuesday to Thursday. “Lance Else finished the night with two more wins to start off the season 4-0. His brother Evan got two wins of his own. Junior Jake Mitchell pinned his way to his first varsity win. Andreas Carbajal also finished 2-0. Freshman Chance Hansen had a hard fought match against Briton Cook of MV-A-O, falling short of the win, but showing great improvement in just a few days. “We are continuing to grow as a team and the boys are anxious to get back for the first tournament of the season at Manson on Saturday (Dec. 3).” MV-A-O 48, Ridge View 21 •106 double forfeit. •113 Ridge View lost by forfeit. •120 Ridge View lost by forfeit. •126 Ridge View lost by forfeit. •132 Ridge View lost by forfeit. •138 Wood lost by fall in 1:40. •145 Carbajal won by fall in 3:42. •152 Lance Else won by fall in 1:29. •160 Mitchell lost by fall in 1:01. •170 Moeller lost by fall in 1:05. •182 Hansen lost 11-7. •195 Phillips lost by fall in 1:25. •220 Ridge View lost by forfeit. •285 Evan Else won by fall in 1:04.

Trentin Moeller was fifth at 170 and Tate Phillips was sixth at 195. “It was a good day for our wrestlers overall,” noted coach Christensen. “We thought the boys battled hard all day. It’s always good when you are only filling half of the weight classes that you can place in the top half of a tournament like this. The Doug Wood Invite always has a lot of great competition, and we get to see a few teams there that we don’t normally see during the season. It was a team effort, everyone contributed. “Tate Phillips and Dylan Wood got their first tournament wins of their varsity career. Trent Moller came away with his first win of the season as well. Evan Else and Trent Miller both wrestled their way into the finals; both taking the silver home. Lance Else had a tough bracket with 12 wrestlers, coming away with third. Andreas Carbajal also placed third in a very competitive 145-pound weight class.”

Ridge View girls have successful opening to new season Ridge View collected two wins in two games to open the girls’ high school basketball season last week.

Raptors basketball boys open season 0-2 The Ridge View boys’ basketball team got on the court last week for the first time this season. Coach Dale Tokheim pointed to his team’s inexperience as a factor in the team’s two losses. A-A 55, Ridge View 42 Alta-Aurelia’s 9-0 scoring run late in the third quarter was a major factor in Ridge View’s 13-point season opening loss to the Warriors in Schaller Nov. 28. The game was tied at 8-8 after one quarter. A-A was up 22-17 at halftime. With a little more than one minute to go in the third quarter, Ridge View pulled to within 28-26 on Klint Blum’s three-point shot. A-A finished off the third on a 9-0 run including a threepoint bucket at the third quarter buzzer to go up 37-26. Tokheim said his club played well at
times against A-A, but it also struggled at times. “It was probably a typical first game for an inexperienced team,” said Tokheim. “I was happy with our effort and our defense. A-A is very good ball team with a lot of experience and I don’t think they will lose a lot of games. I thought our zone gave them some problems for most of the game. “Unfortunately, we panicked in a couple of different spots and turned the ball over to help them go on a couple of big runs. That 9-0 run in the last minute of the third quarter was one of the stretches where we just panicked.” Tokheim added overall it was a good first game. He noted his club needs to keep improving and playing as a team. “I liked the aggressiveness we had on offense, but we need to realize
where the lanes are to drive and we need to be willing to kick the ball out to an open shooter. A couple of positive things were Colton Wunschel’s game. He was looking to score and Jake Kliegl did a great job rebounding,” said Tokheim. Wunschel finished with 12 points while Kliegl pulled down 12 rebounds.

L-B 69, Ridge View 48 Lawton-Bronson jumped out to a 23-6 lead on its way to a 21-point win over the Raptors in Holstein Friday. Coach Tokheim noted his club started slow in falling behind 12 to 2 with three minutes to play in the first quarter and foul trouble contributed to the team falling behind 23-6 with five minutes to go in the second quarter. “I was real happy with the boys as they battled back and started playing together in the second half,” said Tokheim. “We got the lead down to 10 in the fourth quarter with four minutes to go and had the ball, but just couldn’t catch a break when we needed it. “Overall, we just had too many turnovers, missed some bunnies, didn’t play good enough defense in the first half, and missed too many free throws. We also have to make sure we know when it is a good time to drive and we need to play as a team. I think our inexperience showed, but we have plenty of time to gel and figure things out.” Colton Wunschel tallied 14 points and pulled down eight rebounds for Ridge View. Jacob Tokheim scored 10 points. “Wunschel had a good game and looked real good at times,” noted coach Tokheim. “Logan Cuthrell and Austin Degen gave us some nice minutes in the second quarter off the bench. Cuthrell scored too big three-pointers and all eight of his points in the second quarter. Degen also hit his three.” Quarter scores RView 4 19 33 —48 L-B 12 36 51 —69 Ridge View stats Field goals: 15-49, 31%. Free throws: 9-19, 47%.

Bode said several girls contributed to the victory. “The girls did a great job of battling all game,” said Bode. “We took care of the ball and made shots when we needed them most. I liked our shot selections and feel for tempo. It didn’t matter which line up we had on the floor, we were getting positive production. Our bench players were huge for us. They gave us valuable minutes and were aggressive in the right situations to create for other players. “We think Pickhinke can play like this for us all season. We have lots of girls who can score, but we talk about creating to help others get open. We did a good job of attacking the right areas and getting good looks at the rim.” Eight girls scored for Ridge View. As a team, the Raptors shot 36 percent (17-47) from the field and 62 percent (13-21) from the line. Harlee Wagoner collected 10 of the team’s 33 rebounds. “It’s always nice to get a win to start the season,” said Bode. “We have things we need to work on, but lots of good things we can hang our hat on.” While Bode was pleased with several aspects of his team’s play, he pointed to defensive production as a big factor in the win. “We were active in the passing lanes and contesting shots and later in the second half we were especially effective in limiting the amount of extra possessions for Alta-Aurelia.” A-A led 10-7 after one quarter before building a 19-10 lead in the second quarter. Ridge View battled back to take a 25-23 lead at halftime. The third quarter featured several lead changes before Ridge View took the lead for good on Pickhinke’s three-point bucket at the third quarter buzzer, which made the score 37-35 in favor of Ridge View.

Ridge View led 19-15 at halftime before expanding its lead to 36-19 after three quarters of play. “The girls did a nice job of working together on both ends of the floor,” noted coach Bode. “Defensively, our communication needed to improve and I thought they showed a lot about themselves allowing just 29 points.” Beth Pickhinke scored 13 points and Harlee Wagoner added 12 to lead Ridge View to victory. Wagoner also grabbed 11 rebounds. “Wagoner and Pickhinke did a nice job of leading us,” said Bode. “Anytime we can get good production like this from those two, good things are going to happen. I also thought Kinzey Dutler did a lot for us again. Her defensive toughness and ability to find the open girl is certainly beneficial for all our girls. “We are continuing to get a great minutes from our bench players. Those kinds of things don’t always show up in the stat columns, but it gives our other players a break.” Quarter scores RView 11 19 36 —45 L-B 3 15 19 —29 Ridge View stats Field goals: 19-46, 41%.
