Eldora energy saver rebates pay off By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – Alliant Energy sent a spokesman to the city council session in Eldora last week with an annual report on the company’s public service contributions to the community. It has long been a big supporter of projects ranging from things like a one-time event, RAGBRIA, to the ongoing Trees Forever reforestation efforts. But Tuesday a couple numbers of note were 104 and $26,955. They were the number of special energy saver customer rebates recorded here for the last year, and the dollar figure’s accumulated total.
Justin Foss spokesman for Alliant says that the appliance rebate response here in Eldora is reflective of Iowa, because Iowa has historically been ahead of the curve taking advantage of savings on everything from new insulation to new furnaces, to energy audits and just about anything else the power company has to offer to help homeowners cut use. The company, of course, sells energy, but it is also concerned with peak load demands. Essentially it has to build generating capacity to match peak loads – not average loads – so anything it can do to flatten out the peak usage makes the cost of
designing new plants less expensive. Foss says any time you are looking at replacements or upgrades to new home, or business, or farm utilities, it’s always wise to investigate the rebates possible. Contractors and service providers will normally have them in mind anyway, but it doesn’t hurt for homeowners to be conscious, too. Alliant’s website always has detailed information on what can be saved on any number of new futures and equipment pieces, and what with the first of the year coming around, it is a good idea to check the site right after January 1. The rebate offers will in many
cases be changing (often nudging up) just a little with the New Year. Iowa is one of the states in Alliant’s service area that happens to be a long and loyal patron of the rebate programs. It has been ahead of a lot of other Alliant customer areas going back a couple of decades, he says. Where, in the beginning, rebates were about a better door or better furnace – and they still are – today technology is also offering exotic gadgetry that helps not only make energy use more reasoned, but easier to tweak. For instance a new WiFi connection that allows you to check and change your thermostat from about any remote location.
What follows is just a small sampling of the types of rebates available on home utility services, there are more on business and farm systems, and many more for homeowners beyond these basic heating, cooling and water heating examples below. The power company even buys down the price of products you find on the merchant shelf, light bulbs and other items, effectively making the more energy efficient of them cheaper when you shop. And of course here is a whole separate department for new home and new business construction, too.
Some rebate examples from Alliant website
Heating & cooling tuneup
The power company says, keep your heating and cooling systems running safely and efficiently all year long with a professionallyconducted clean and tune-up of your central air conditioner, air-source heat pump, ground-source heat pump, natural gas furnace or natural gas boiler. up to $50 rebate
Natural gas furnace
How old is that furnace in the basement? Energy-efficiently
speaking, anything 14 years or older might need replacement. up to $700 rebate
Electrically efficient fan motor
Electronically efficient fan motors run cool, because they are more energy efficient. They run at variable speeds, sensing the changing needs of the system. This allows you to achieve greater dollar savings when running your HVAC systems. $50 rebate
Air-source heat pump (<65k
BTUH)
Looking for an energy-efficient way to heat and cool your home? Ask your heating and cooling professional about air-source heat pumps. Less expensive than geothermal, yet more efficient than many standard options, air-source heat pumps may be a perfect fit for your home. up to $950
Ductless “mini-split” heat pump
No ducts? A ductless “mini-
split” heat pump is just the thing. These heating and cooling wonders do their thing without traditional ductwork. They’re perfect for home renovations and add-ons with nonducted heating systems, or when installing ductwork is just not possible. up to $200
Geothermal system
Heating and cooling with help from the earth – it makes ecological sense, as well as dollars and cents. Alliant Energy has rebates to help
make it happen. Geothermal waterto-water systems are used most commonly to heat and cool water for hydronic radiant systems and are often used in commercial buildings. up to $3,200
Central air conditioner (<65k BTUH)
Upgrade your central AC today and enjoy the summer already. up to $650 (continued on page 3)
Arts boosters notch a success at high school By Rick Patrie News Editor SOUTH HARDIN – (For readers of Monday news stand editions) The South Hardin HS Winter Concert will be held on Monday, December 12, 2016. At this performance, the Concert Choir will be wearing brand new robes which have been donated by members of the South Hardin Community. In the Spring of 2016, the South Hardin Performing Arts Boosters launched a fund raising campaign to purchase new robes for members of the South Hardin High School Concert Choir. A design was selected, and Academic Apparel of Chatsworth, California, the company that had manufactured the robes for Hubbard-Radcliffe High School, was chosen as the vendor to make the new robes.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will be at the Eldora Public Library on Saturday. Dec. 17 from 10 a.m. to noon. Elementary and younger kids are invited to spend time with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and visit Santa’s workshop with the Builders Club.
County Offices open late Dec. 16
All County Offices in the Courthouse, County Office Building, and Engineer’s Office will open at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 16. State offices will open as usual. (continued on page 4)
Eleven boxes of new robes, stoles, and garment bags arrived this week at South Hardin, and students have been fitted into custom robes that will be debuted at Monday’s Winter Concert. The robes are jet black with a stole featuring the school colors of grey, black, and red, with a “SH” featured prominently in the center, similar to the emblem found both on the Football field at Tiger Stadium, and the Basketball court in the gymnasium at South Hardin. Special thanks go out to the Eldora Rotary’s Haunted Hospital for a generous donation of nearly Ten Thousand dollars toward this fundraising effort. Additional donations were received from the Eldora Kiwanis, Hubbard Sisters in Service, and dozens of other community organizations, businesses, and individuals, all of
which will be recognized in concert programs and future news articles. More special thanks go to Dorothy Teske for her work to create a handmade South Hardin quilt. This quilt has been on display at home athletic and fine arts events as a raffle ticket item. The winner will be drawn during the intermission of the Winter Concert at South Hardin on Monday, December 12. Tickets will be on sale before the concert in the High School commons. Vocal music director Patrick Gagnon says, “Please join us for an evening of Holiday cheer featuring all of the fine musicians of South Hardin, including the Concert Band and Jazz Band, all under the direction of Wayne Lu, and the Concert Choir in new attire, celebrating the season.”
Please display your house number By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – For most residents it has gone without asking. But the city is asking those haven’t, to ensure they are displaying their house numbers in accordance with city code. The push comes as the community tries to help emergency personnel respond more quickly and more accurately to any address in need of assistance. The Eldora Police have been detailed to start enforcement,
working with the Eldora ambulance and fire departments. Where it’s not already done, the city reminds residents to place the house numbers on their homes. Police refer to city code 150.02, for instruction on compliance. You can also check with city hall or any officer. Any residents not in compliance by January 12 can be subject to penalties. Home and property owners can (continued on page 3)

Tis the Season
By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – The time has come. Winter arrived with an exclamation point over the last few days, and it’s time again to recall some of the rules that apply to the city roads during the snow months. There is a designated snowmobile route across town. It is not the only place where snowmobile traffic and ATV traffic is allowed, but the route is less constricted by rules of the road. ATVs and snowmobiles can be operated on city streets which have not been plowed during the snow season, or on streets or alleys designated by the city. But operators must be using the shortest route from one location to another one. The cross town route runs from the Iowa River Bridge on the east
and then north and sweeps around the town as indicated on the map. Off the route operators have to move between two locations by that shortest route available. No ATVs or snowmobiles can be driven on the rest of the streets or alleys strictly for entertainment purposes, or after 11 p.m. on Sunday through Friday and after midnight on Saturday. No ATVs or snowmobiles can be operated at any time in city parks and can’t be driven on sidewalks, parkings or across another owners private property. The designated snowmobile route around the north side of town is designed to give passage to snowmobile traffic from rural recreating areas on one side of the community to the same on the other.

Hardin unemployment remains low at 3.6 percent
HARDIN COUNTY – Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate decreased slightly to 4.1 percent in October. The state’s jobless rate was 3.5 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate was little changed at 4.9 percent in October and here in Hardin County the rate remained a low one at 3.6 percent. “Iowa experienced a slight drop in the unemployment rate in October, despite some layoffs within construction and manufacturing establishments that could indicate this is only a temporary reprieve.
Fortunately, Iowa continues to have jobs available and those affected by layoffs appear to be able to find jobs elsewhere,” said Beth Townsend, Director of Iowa Workforce Development. “Iowa remains well below the national average of 4.9% which indicates our economy remains stronger than much of the rest of the country.” The number of unemployed Iowans decreased to 70,300 in October from 72,600 in September. The current estimate is 10,100 higher than the year ago level of 60,200.
Rebates for upgrades For 2016 customers acquiring more energy efficient furnaces, air conditioners, hot water heaters and much more (continued from page 1)
Room air conditioner
Your old room air conditioner. If it isn’t ENERGY STAR qualified or is more than 15 years old, you’ll want to consider replacing it. An energyefficient model will cost much less to run and will cool your space for much less money. You can expect to save about 10% on cooling costs (source: ENERGY STAR). That equals about $20 a summer for the average Alliant Energy residential customer. $20/unit
Whole-house fan
Is there a less-expensive alternative to air conditioning? Investigate whole-house fans for precisely that reason. On those in-between days, when you’d rather not spend the money to turn on the air conditioning, a whole-house fan can bring you comfort for less money. They efficiently cool and ventilate your home and are virtually silent. $125
Wi-Fi programmable thermostat
We all know the money-saving benefits of programmable thermostats. Wi-Fi programmable thermostats take those perks one step further. By learning our behaviors and adjusting our home’s temperature accordingly, Wi-Fi programmable thermostats get to know us almost better than we know ourselves. It just couldn’t get any easier. up to $50
Clock-programmable thermostat
When used properly, a clockprogrammable thermostat can help you save about $8 a month on your heating and cooling bills. Program it to automatically set the temperature back by 10 degrees while you are away from home for eight hours. Then program it to automatically reset to your desired temperature before you return. $10
Water heating
This might surprise you – heating water is one of the biggest expenses on your utility bill each month. So when your hot water heater fails or becomes inefficient, make sure you replace.
The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,655,200 in October. This figure was 5,000 higher than September and 12,700 higher than one year ago. Seasonally Adjusted Nonfarm Employment Iowa businesses shed 4,500 jobs in October and total employment now rests at 1,583,900 jobs. This is the second loss in the last two months and largely due to declines in manufacturing and construction. Service sectors were down 700 jobs due to sluggish seasonal hiring in local government education. Government combined is down just 500 jobs versus last year’s level. Despite the monthly drop, over half of the state’s sectors added jobs this month. Employment in education services had the largest drop this month (-2,400). The low showing in education is partially due to the shift in seasonal hiring and may level off as the school year progresses. The education sector remains up 900 jobs annually. The construction sector pared jobs again this month (-2,200) as the summer project season begins to wind down. This past year was nonetheless rewarding for construction workers evidenced by the annual job growth versus last year (+13.2 percent). Manufacturing lost jobs at the nondurable goods level (-1,300) and shed a combined 1,700 jobs this month. While durable goods has been showing recent signs of recovery, nondurable goods factories have shown some signs of weakness lately with jobs being shed in four of the last five months. The last monthly increase for nondurable goods was in May. Job gains this month were led by other services (+2,200). This month’s gain snaps a two month losing streak for this sector. Other advances in October occurred in leisure and hospitality (+1,200) and trade and transportation (+1,100). The annual growth rate trended down this month with the state now up just 1.1 percent of last year’s mark (+18,000 jobs). The construction

sector has retained the employment built up over the past year and thus leads all sectors in job growth (+10,400). Despite the monthly drop, the education and health services sector is up 4,900 jobs annually, followed by leisure and hospitality (+4,000) and financial activities
(+3,500). Job losses continue to be led by manufacturing (-5,200) with both durable and nondurable goods factories paring employment now. Professional and business services also lags annually (-3,600) due mostly to cutbacks within administration, support, and waste
management services (-3,200). The only other sector posting annual losses was information services (-1,200) which has steadily trended down over the last several years due to changes in consumer and business print and media preferences.

ECC inducts 18 into Phi Theta Kappa
IOWA FALLS – The Alpha Iota Omega Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa at Ellsworth Community College inducted 18 new members last week. Phi Theta Kappa is an international honor society for two-year colleges. To qualify for membership, ECC students must be in a degreeseeking program with a cumulative 3.25 grade point average, and have completed a minimum of 12 credit hours. After a welcome and introductions by Dr. Lisa Stock, ECC Dean of Academic Affairs and PTK Advisor, ECC Provost Dr. Martin Reimer talked with the inductees about the concept and value of servant leadership. Psychology Professor and guest speaker Wendy Valentine talked about intelligence and personality. She asked the inductees to name one of their heroes and/or role models, then talked about how the qualities of those heroes align to the traits of Phi Theta Kappa
members. “I see integrity in your code of conduct and your academic work,” Valentine told the inductees. “I see a strong work ethic and am impressed by how many of you juggle personal, family and academic expectations so successfully. I see your commitment, your responsibility and self-reliance, and your willingness to give of yourselves. You have inherent and critically important gifts … what will you do with them? My recommendation is that you share them. The world is already a better place with you in it, and I cannot wait to see what you continue to do!”
Officer Trevor Smith gave each a white rose signifying purity and beauty of life. Inductees then recited the membership pledge. Fall 2016 inductees, listed by hometown, are:

Adult coloring at the Steamboat Rock Library
News from the Steamboat Rock Library Fun For Adults Every Thursday afternoon, beginning this fall, the Steamboat Rock Public Library has hosted a free activity, Fun For Adults (F.F.A.), with all supplies provided. On the third Thursday of each month we give adult coloring a try. Join us this week, Dec. 15, for this activity. Plans for the first Thursday of each month feature a “make and take” craft. In January you will have the opportunity to learn to crochet or bring a project that you have already begun.

South Hardin girls roll, Tigers test top-ranked Rebels
by Scott Bierle Sports Editor ELDORAScoring sprees sparked the South Hardin girls’ basketball team to a lopsided 63-32 victory over Gladbrook-Reinbeck here Friday during North Iowa Cedar League West Conference play. In the nightcap, the Tigers challenged the top-ranked in Class 1A Rebels before losing 57-43. 45-POINT FIRST HALF The opening contest turned into no-contest by halftime as the South Hardin girls raced to commanding leads of 23-10 after one quarter and 45-14 at the break. The hosts uncorked 7-0 and 10-0 scoring sprees in the first quarter that built a 17-4 lead. Fueling the 10-0 spurt was a Hanna Vander Wilt three-ball followed by Paige Harrell with a basket and one. The Tigers tallied the first nine points of the second period capped by a Harrell triple from straight-away and later had an 11-0 run with three buckets by Miquela Teske. Teske netted a game-high 17 points and Harrell had 14 as 10 girls scored in all. Teske grabbed seven rebounds, Harrell dished four assists and Danae Nelson had eight points and five steals. “It was nice to see all the girls that dressed get some quality minutes tonight,” stated South Hardin coach Matt Thompson. The Tigers climbed to 4-3 overall and 2-0 in the conference, while the Rebels slipped to 0-6 overall. G-R’s scoring leader was Taylor Gienger 14 points. The two teams played even over the final 16 minutes at 18-18 with a continuous clock late in the third and the entire fourth quarter. Scoring by Quarters: Gladbrook-Reinbeck 10 4 11 7 -32 South Hardin 23 22 11 7 -63 South Hardin scoring – Miquela Teske 17, paige Harrell 14, Danae Nelson 8, Kiera anderson 6, Hanna Vander Wilt 5, Nina priske 5, Chloe Webb 3, Laura Stanish 2, Sammy May 2, emma gourley 1. Three-point goals: Harrell 1, Vander Wilt 1.
TOUGH START CONTINUES The tough start to the cage campaign continued for the South Hardin boys with the 14-point loss to Gladbrook-Reinbeck, dropping the Tigers to 1-5 overall. The Joe Smoldt led Rebels withstood a feisty South Hardin. The allstater piled up 32 points as he made two three-point goals and 10-of-12 free throws. Smoldt scored 13 points in the first quarter as G-R ended the opening frame on a 10-2 run and led 1911. The Tigers were even at nine-all with two three-pointers by Ted Dunn around one for Jacob Vander Wilt. The Rebels maintained that eightpoint margin at halftime, up 28-20 as Vander Wilt and Dunn each had one triple for the hosts. South Hardin scored first in the second half with two Dunn free throws to pull within six, but that was the only two points of the third for the Tigers. G-R scored the next 11, including a Jackson Kiburis three-ball, and ballooned the lead to 39-22.
