NEWS County considers ordinance designating ambulance transport as essential service

Legislators may consider curtailing utilities’ ability to bring lawsuits against government

By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor While farmers and elected officials across the state await the Iowa Supreme Court’s answer to whether drainage districts can be sued for monetary damages, state legislators are looking at ways to prevent another lawsuit like the one filed by the Des Moines Water Works against 10 drainage districts in three counties.

“We’ve got some ideas to deal with it, (starting with) total immunity for drainage districts,” Rep. Chip Bal-

timore, R-Boone, told a crowd of county supervisors, drainage clerks and engineers, during the Iowa Drainage District Association’s annual meeting Friday in Fort Dodge.

“We obviously cannot change federal law at the state level. The ability of municipal utilities to file lawsuits against other governmental or quasigovernmental entities is totally within the state’s realm.”

The Des Moines Water Works filed the lawsuit against the districts in Calhoun, Buena Vista and Sac counties in 2015. Water Works officials claim the water that flows from drainage tiles should be subject

to the Clean Water Act. That would mean farmers would need a discharge permit for the water, which contains nitrates from fertilizers used in fields.

Baltimore said legislators considered the moves last legislative session, but with a Democrat-led state Senate, they didn’t feel they could succeed. Republicans won a majority in the state Senate during the November election.

“What are the appropriate uses of (municipal utilities’) money,” he said legislators have been asking themselves. “Is filing a lawsuit an appropriate use of their money?”

Sen. Tim Kraayenbrink, R-Fort Dodge, said in his role as a member of the Senate’s appropriation committee, he is also looking at spending, but his focus is on water quality improvements.

“My charge is to make sure we’re spending your tax dollars wisely,” he said. “What are we asking for? What guards are we putting in place so we can say we’re successful? What things are in place so we can actually monitor if we’re making headway or not making headway?”

He said he doesn’t want to see the state spend money on projects that don’t actually work.

IDDA attorney Doug Struyk said he had hoped the state Supreme Court would have ruled on the questions a federal judge sent it earlier this year. The state’s highest-ranking judges heard oral arguments on those questions, which essentially asked the state if drainage districts can be sued and required to pay damages, in September. Struyk said the state has about a century of court decisions that affirm that districts cannot be sued for monetary damages.

“Now we have sitting before the court a chance to say we no longer have that,” he said.

New Opportunities preps toys for Christmas

The South Central Calhoun High School Dance Team brought home a fourth-place trophy for their Lights routine at the Iowa State Dance/Drill Team competition earlier this month. The team also received Division 1 ratings in the jazz, light and hip hop categories.

If just 75 more voters had marked yes instead of no on their ballots last week, Iowa Central Community College would have succeeded in its bond request.

Instead, the initiative failed to reach the necessary 60 percent supermajority, with 58.5 percent of voters voting to authorize a 30-year, $29.5 million bond to fund infrastructure improvements at the Fort Dodge campus and its satellite locations.

ICCC President Dr. Dan Kinney said in all of his visits with communities in the nine-county region, he didn’t get a lot of negative feedback about the bond request.

“It was a little shocker,” Kinney said Wednesday. “This was tough.”

But, Kinney said, he was already looking forward to determining the college’s next step in funding the infrastructure improvements he brought to voters during visits over the past few months.

“It’s a new day,” he said. “We’re still doing what we love to do. A little adversity makes us stronger.”

One of the biggest projects, for Calhoun County residents at least, is the planned Career Academy, which Kinney has said he would like to locate in Lohrville. Kinney said he expected that project may be pushed back by about a year, but will still happen, once the college secures funding for it.

“We will look for other money,” Kinney said.

South Central Calhoun School District voters supported the initia-

tive – 251 people voted yes, making up 68 percent of voters, while 114 voted no. About 60 percent of Fort Dodge residents supported the bond, while 58.6 percent of Manson Northwest Webster voters supported it.

The bond won no school districts in Humboldt County, and Sac County voters also voted against it, though the county did not break down the results by district, according to unofficial results. A majority of voters in the Greene County Community School, Northeast Hamilton, South Hamilton, Pocahontas and Clarion-Goldfield-Dows districts voted against the bond. Voters in the Paton-Churdan, Stratford, Webster City, Laurens-Marathon, Prairie Valley and Southeast Webster-Grand districts all had more yes votes than no votes.

Kinney said he isn’t sure if voters suffered from election fatigue, following this fall’s general election, or if the college just didn’t do a good job of getting its message out to voters. Last week’s loss may just have been the result of region residents who supported the proposed projects but didn’t bother to go to the polls.

“No votes are going to get out there for sure and do it,” Kinney said.

He also noted that college bond referendums didn’t do well in general last week; only one of three he knew of passed, and a number of local school district bond requests also failed to get voter approval.

The college must wait several months before it can ask voters to support a bond again. In the meantime, Kinney said he will be meeting with state legislators and looking for money for the projects the college needs to complete.

City outlines next decade of airport plans

By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor A federal agency may be able to chip in funds to buy land to bring Rockwell City’s airport into better compliance with federal regulations.

The Rockwell City Council, at their Dec. 5 meeting, approved the minimum expansion plan, as proposed by engineering firm Bolton Menk. The plan calls for the city to purchase about 13 acres of land, to allow for expansion of the runway and zones around the runway.

Engineer Gregg Broussard said that plan will cost about $80,000 for an environmental assessment, which will take about a year, followed by an estimated $233,000 for land purchase and other work. He said the city could expect to need to have that money in about three years.

Broussard said if city officials aren’t able to purchase the land, they could try to acquire easements for the land. That reduces land acquisition costs by about 20 percent.

The Federal Aviation Administration required the city to update

its airport layout plan, City Clerk Kelly Smidt said. The FAA was particularly interested in trimming or removing some trees located at the airport’s south end. Those trees are outside Rockwell City limits, Smidt said. The FAA will cover about 90 percent of the cost to complete the upgrades, Smidt said.

For a small airport, the Rockwell City Airport stays relatively busy, Smidt said. There’s a waiting list to get a hangar there, and a meeting attendee told the city he would help to pay for construction if the city agreed to build another hangar there.

Broussard said the city could start with the minimum plan – the one council members chose – and later decide to expand the airport more.

The council failed to approve an ordinance to allow the use of all-terrain vehicles within the city limits.

Councilmembers Nathan Gentry and John Hepp voted in favor of the new law, while Mark Lange and Dave Dawson voted against it. Councilman Adam Reiss was absent.

Councilmembers indicated they would revisit the issue at their next meeting.

A tornado is going to hit Lake City next year.

This time, though, it’s just a tornado on paper, with damage that will be marked throughout town in field chalk. The Calhoun County Health Care Coalition and the Emergency Management Agency are preparing for a full-scale disaster exercise, and EMA Director Steve O’Connor said the groups have decided to set the disaster in Lake City. He acknowledged that they are copying the actual tornado that hit the town in 2015.

While that tornado didn’t injure anyone, the exercise tornado will create both mass casualties and mass fatalities, enough to properly test emergency response and rescue techniques, O’Connor said at the health care coalition meeting Thursday afternoon in Lake City.

The exercise will likely take place on a Saturday in early May. O’Connor said area emergency officials at a recent meeting also discussed a federal proposal that would require any business, such as grain elevators, that store and sell anhydrous ammonia to perform table-top disaster exercises at least twice a year, and full-scale exercises annually. “In our county alone (that would result in) two table-tops a month,�

O’Connor said.

Typically, he or Emergency Medical Services Director Kerrie Hull would attend such exercises, as well as law enforcement officials and fire department representatives. “You’re not going to get the local fire departments to do that,� Hull said. “They’re all volunteers.�

O’Connor said he heard a speaker talk about a federal department’s proposed rule to require the exercises, and some concerns that the Obama administration would push to enact the rule before Presidentelect Donald Trump takes office in late January. “Hopefully nothing comes of that,�

O’Connor said.

A federal appeals court in September ruled the Occupational Safety and Health Administration hadn’t offered the required public comment period before enacting the rule. The ruling sent the proposed rules back to the OSHA to start over.

The coalition also decided to create a policy for the use of the county’s Rapid Tag machine, which creates identification cards for hospital and county employees, and can be used during emergencies for first responders and volunteers. O’Connor said he has heard officials in Carroll and Webster counties say they don’t need to purchase such a machine, which cost $10,000 to $12,000, because they can borrow Calhoun County’s system during an emergency. As Calhoun County becomes

more involved with the new regional health care coalition, led by Webster County, O’Connor said he wants to make it clear that if other counties use the machine, they need to cover the costs of replacement supplies and the annual subscription fee associated with the service. “What are they expecting from us,� O’Connor said, describing what other information the county needs before allowing other counties to use the machine. “What do we expect from them?�

Stewart Memorial Community Hospital CEO Cindy Carstens said the county coalition shouldn’t expect much guidance or financial support from the regional group until at least 2018. “They’re pretty much starting at ground zero,� she said, adding the regional group still needs to create by-laws. “I do agree that we develop a policy, so (other counties) know what is expected.�

If the regional group doesn’t agree to provide reimbursement for using Calhoun County’s equipment, O’Connor said the county could also go through the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department. If that happens, any county officials wanting to borrow the machine would make a request through the state Homeland Security duty officer, and Calhoun County would get reimbursed through the state for the use of its machine.

Empty Nest By Curt Swarm First Book Published!

Writing is painting a story with words. Curt Swarm My phone kept ringing. The Caller ID indicated the phone call was from Colorado, so I ignored it. “Probably something political,� I thought. “But the election is over.� When the phone rang again, once again from Colorado, I answered it. After all, I used to live in Colorado, and still had friends there. “Is this Curt Swarm?� a voice in a tunnel asked. “Y-Yes.� Oh, here we go, a telemarketer. “This is a person from your past.

I don’t like to leave messages.� He identified himself. He had been a friend I used to work with over 20 years ago. “Do you remember that book you wrote for our company?� “Uh, yes.� A sick feeling rushed through me, like a Colorado avalanche smothering everything in its path. “Well, it’s been published, online.

It’s on an internal company website.

Just thought you’d like to know.�

Just thought I’d like to know? The memories came flooding back, with all the pain, euphoria, and mixed emotions of first child birth. I had worked in human resources for a medium sized manufacturing company headquartered in Colorado. It was a real good job, one that most employees would give their eyeteeth for. But I wasn’t happy. I wanted to write. To the disbelief of my family, friends, and coworkers, I resigned. To write.

On the way out the door, I made a pitch to the company that I’d like to write a biography of the company

founder who had recently passed away. They went for it. And would pay me a handsome fee. Only they wanted a company history rather than a founder biography. I wholeheartedly agreed, like a dying man gasping for life. This would be my start, my first published book. The company was going to publish it internally, a coffee-table book, for employee distribution. I had one year to complete the assignment.

I threw myself into the project like a wild man with a plan. Only, the writer in me wanted to write a biography, rather than a company history—after all, I reasoned, a biography of the founder is a history of the company.

I had been reading a biography of Henry Ford who was similar in a lot of ways to the founder of this company. They were both brilliant, eccentric, and there were a lot of colorful stories of how they had gotten started.

I wanted to write those stories. And did.

I completed the book on time and was all set to see my first book published. However, the company finally got around to reading the book, didn’t like it, and killed the whole project.

I was devastated. My world turned upside down. My family and I moved back to Iowa, and I went back to work.

Now, here was someone telling me that the book was alive and well. Apparently, through changes in ownership and CEO’s, the book was liked and appreciated as a colorful narration of the company’s humble beginnings. Sections of it were being read at company meetings, and it was

available internally, online for employee reading. And printing.

I quick like had the book emailed to me and printed it out. There it was, in all its radiant beauty, the exact manuscript I had turned in over twenty years ago. They must have scanned the book and put it online.

I sat down and read it. Who was this person who had written all these stories? They were brilliant, I thought. I found myself crying. I always know if something I have written is good if it makes me cry.

This news couldn’t have come at a more apropos time. I am writing my life work. It will be available in the spring, and I needed this inspiration, like tulip bulbs need the warmth and moisture of a spring rain. You just never know what you say or do or write, no matter how long ago, will bear fruit. You gotta keep going, you can’t give up.

I can now legitimately say my first book was published.

By the way, I am conducting a free creative writing workshop at the Presbyterian Church in Mt. Pleasant on Sunday nights starting in early January. It is open to the public for people of all ages, and will run for six weeks, excluding Super Bowl Sunday, of course. Class size is limited to 12 people on a first come, first serve basis. If interested, please call Esther at 319986-5851.

Have a good story? Call or text Curt Swarm in Mt. Pleasant at 319217-0526, email him at curtswarm@ yahoo.com or find him on FaceBook.

Curt’s stories are also read on 106.3 FM in Farmington.

County considers ordinance designating ambulance transport as essential service

By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Calhoun County may establish new regulations to govern ambulance transport companies that want to operate here.

Emergency Medical Services Director Kerrie Hull brought a draft ordinance to the Calhoun County Board of Supervisors Dec. 6 that would make clear that any private company coming to the county couldn’t just cherry pick the profitable services. “We want to make sure there is EMS coverage in Calhoun County,�

Hull said. “We also want to make sure somebody can’t come in and pick and choose, only doing hospital transfers and not 911 (calls).�

No company has approached Calhoun County with such a request yet, Hull said. Right now, Calhoun County provides ambulance service in most of the county, with a few smaller towns operating their own ambulance under the county’s license, she added. But a company out of Nebraska did approach Sac County with such an offer – to operate in the county, but only to do hospital transfers.

Transferring a patient from Stewart Memorial Community Hospital to Des Moines can earn an ambulance company up to $2,000, she said.

The Calhoun County Board of Health has signed off on the ordinance, which Hull said she would show to the county attorney before asking the board to approve it. “I do think this is OK,� Supervisor Gary Nicholson said. Nicholson

Supervisors wanted to know what prompted Hull to broach the subject. Only one other Iowa County, Scott County in the eastern part of the state, has enacted a similar ordinance. Hull brought that ordinance with her as an example of what Calhoun County could pass. She said the state’s EMS advisory council has recommended counties enact the legislation. “We’re working towards standards of EMS in Iowa,� Hull said. “One of the standards is to assure we have EMS in the county.�

The ordinance wouldn’t impact any mutual aid agreements already in place. Those agreements create a system of backup ambulance services, to be used if all of Calhoun County’s ambulance crews are already out on emergency or transfer calls, she said.

The Scott County ordinance laid out fees for any new company operating within that county. “I don’t see any fees for anybody who is currently here,� Hull said, adding the changes for new ambulance operators, typically private companies. “As a county Board of Supervisors, you want to ensure they are meeting the needs of everybody.�

The board also heard a Dakota Access pipeline construction update from Engineer Zac Andersen. The oil transportation company selected Dec. 23 as a date to end construction for the winter, Andersen said, but company officials also indicated they may stop work earlier, depending on the winter. Andersen said quite a bit of topsoil had not been returned to its place over the pipeline on construction sites in the western half of the county.

Some donors even bring wrapping paper, which Billmeier gives to families, too, while she has it.

Several community groups and businesses – Rockwell City Rotary Club, Calhoun County Implement, the Twin Lakes Masons lodge and St. Paul’s Lutheran and Presbyterian Church – are given slips listing children’s ages, gender and preferred toys. Billmeier said she tries to assign those groups the older children. “As they get older, their desires get more expensive,� she said.

EXPECTING? WHERE WILL YOU DELIVER?

Riders in Fort Dodge, the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program in Des Moines and local individuals and families, donate the bulk of the rest of the toys. At the Rockwell City United Methodist Church on Wednesday, where Billmeier and a handful of volunteers sorted through the donations, tables overf lowed with dolls, trucks, puzzles and games. Donations included namebrands such as Star Wars and John Deere, Hot Wheels and Fisher Price.

Families who participate in New Opportunities programs, including the heating bill assistance program, WIC and Headstart, are eligible to sign their children up to receive the toys, Billmeier said.

Toys for small children sit on a table after being sorted for New Oppor tunities’ Rockwell City Family Development Center.

The gifts were distributed to families on Thursday. GRAPHICA D V O C AT E PHOTO/ERIN SOMMERS

In which we accidentally become cat people

By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor

Protester Ed Fallon, left in the green jacket, shakes hands with a Dakota Access contractor in October during a protest of the project. Fallon was arrested later that day at another Calhoun County construction site.

He appeared in court Thursday, asking for his trial date to be pushed back. The judge granted his request.

Pipeline protester trial pushed back to March

By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor A pipeline protester who was arrested in September on a farm near Somers asked Calhoun County Magistrate Andrew Smith to delay his trial, which was set for Dec. 20.

Ed Fallon, director of Bold Iowa and a former state senator, was arrested on the Prendergast Enterprises farm near Somers following a series of Dakota Access pipeline protests. Fallon appeared in court Thursday for a pretrial conference without an attorney. After discussion with Assistant Calhoun County

Ben Meyer and Smith, Fallon said he would like a little more time to retain a lawyer. He did have an attorney when he was arrested, but that attorney withdrew because of a conflict of interest, Smith said.

Fallon, after the hearing, said he encountered different reasons that the attorneys he had contacted prior to the hearing could not represent him. He said he was not happy with the withdrawal of his attorney, who had been provided through the Drake Legal Clinic. “I do feel that the Drake Legal Clinic led me astray and dumped me unceremoniously,� Fallon said.

He said he also has been focusing

his efforts on finding attorneys for other protesters who were arrested in Calhoun County, rather than trying to get his own attorney lined up. Fallon said if he can’t find an attorney, he will represent himself at trial.

Fallon has requested a jury trial.

He said Thursday he wants to be able to make the argument before a jury that the property owner’s opinion that he should be allowed on the land should trump Dakota Access’ claim that he was trespassing.

He also intends to argue eminent domain improperly gave Dakota Access permission to be on the Prendergast land.

A few weeks ago, just after cat arrived at my house, my 3-year-old walked up to me. “I always wanted to have two pets,� he said, so matter-of-factly that I was surprised that I had never heard that sentiment before.

In our house, we’re dog people. My husband grew up with cats and dogs, always preferred dogs and when we got married, I tested the waters with a long-term dog-sitting gig.

After 10 months of daily walks with an incredibly well-trained beagle, I decided I liked dogs, too, and when the beagle’s owners were able to return to their home, we adopted Laika from the humane society.

Laika, who is some kind mutt mixed with a German shorthaired pointer, has always been more of a cat than a dog. She prefers to sleep all day, hiding from people, than being with us. Skittish when we first brought her home, she soon warmed up to us and anyone who came over to visit.

When my older son was born, I was a little worried about how she’d take it. Never fear – she immediately accepted him as her own pup, and would often scold me with a loud whine if the baby cried too loudly.

Her message always came through

clearly – she could do better and she could help him faster, if I’d just let her.

About a month ago, she and I were out for our regular morning walk when a pretty, long-haired cat approached us. Laika usually bolts toward any creature that moves in her path, but the cat must have gotten the drop on her, because there was no sudden charge away from me.

Instead, the cat walked right up to the dog, brave as can be, and started winding around Laika’s legs.

The cat followed us all the way home, and I had to rush the dog into the house, through the back door, just to escape. Assuming the cat would return home, I gave it no further thought that day.

That night, we didn’t make it home until almost 8 p.m., a good 13 hours after I had left the cat behind my house. Over the howling, freezing wind, we heard an even louder yowl.

My husband, who has often told me how much he doesn’t like cats, looked at me and indicated I should bring it in. We found some kitty litter in the garage (doesn’t everyone keep some on hand for soaking up spills?) and I poured a scoop of dog food. Cat spent a week in the basement, hiding from Laika and my boys, who enthusiastically began chasing it, whenever the opportunity presented itself.

We spent two weeks calling it Not-Our-Cat, posting its picture on

a local garage sale group on Facebook and checking with the Calhoun County Canine Shelter, to see if anyone had reported a missing cat.

I asked everyone I encountered for a week, too, talking up the cat’s good manners and gentle ways with dogs and children.

Finally, we realized we had become cat owners. My husband even admitted that if we had to have a cat, at least we found one that’s cute and well-behaved. The dog, who weighs a good 50 pounds, has yet to lose a drop of blood to the cat, despite hours of playing. In fact, getting her own cat seems to have done wonders for Laika. Suddenly she’s focused on how she cat gain access to the cat’s food bowl, instead of stealing my kids’ snacks. She spends more time up, running around, than she has in years. As she approaches her 10 th birthday, she’s started to show her age a bit, but having a friend has perked her up a bit.

My dad, who can’t stand dogs and treats his cats at least as good as he treated my sister and me, if not better, was especially pleased to hear we had acquired a cat. More importantly, I think, is the fact that the cat apparently chose us.

When the cat settles down on my lap, purring and kneading its paws into my shirt, I realize that having a cat isn’t such a terrible thing after all.

Elderbridge releases New Year’s Resolutions for seniors Life is full of traditions. Many are handed down through the years, and some are newly created between family and friends. Either way, traditions are part of the colorful fabric that intertwines our lives and holds us together, transcending time and distance. One common tradition this time of year is making New Year’s resolutions, which usually include stopping bad habits or starting good habits.

Elderbridge Agency on Aging has compiled a Top 20 New Year’s resolutions designed to keep you connected, in touch, and in tune with each other the entire year: 1. Be around next year to make another resolution. It’s all about living life to the fullest and focusing on being happy throughout the year.

2. Pray for peace in the world. Hope that the future brings more love and compassion to people everywhere.

3. Smile more. It’s a good time to learn to be kinder, more understanding, and learn to have more patience.

It’s important to make an effort to never go to bed angry and wake up with cheerful thoughts each day.

4. Be a better listener. When you’re wise and have so much to say, it’s sometimes difficult to not interrupt others when speaking.

5. Drive more carefully. A resolution we should all make at any age.

6. Visit or write your grandchildren. The art of a handwritten letter isn’t lost just yet. If you can’t get out to visit your grandchildren due to locality or mobility reasons, try start-

ing a pen pal system with them. Seniors who stay connected with family and friends are more likely to feel content.

7. Rekindle or find a hobby. Whether it be painting or coin collecting, many seniors forget about hobbies they once enjoyed for hours on end.

Use the fresh start of the New Year as inspiration to get back to one of your favorite pastimes.

8. Volunteer. Experience a sense of purpose and satisfaction by helping others in need. There are endless opportunities for volunteering these days, be it a local food shelter or simply visiting with a less mobile senior.

9. Take your health into your hands. Listening to health professionals is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Knowledge is power at any age. Do your own research on healthy habits and you can begin based on your individual health needs.

10. Find a new, healthy activity.

Not everyone is a runner, and some people hate working out in a group.

The great thing about physical fitness is that there are so many ways to incorporate it into your lifestyle.

11. Check something off of your bucket list. Entering your golden years doesn’t mean that the excitement is over. This can be the year you finally take that trip to Paris, reunite with your childhood best friend or buy your dream car. It might take some work, but think about the biggest goal you have yet to accomplish and start working toward it.

12. Connect more with friends and family. As children and friends get older, their families grow – and their free time shrinks. Make connecting with loved ones a priority this year.

This can happen by scheduling a weekly Skype call with your grandchildren, having coffee every other week with your old high school pals or making sure to fit in a date night every month.

13. Reduce. One of the best lessons we ever learn is the difference between “want� and “need.� Making the move from a house to a retirement community is a great example of downsizing and making this important decision. But it doesn’t have to stop there. Look around your home and see where you can reduce clutter.

14. Be a kid again. Did you love riding bikes as a child? Did you take Saturday morning shopping trips with your mother? Think about a happy memory from childhood and bring it back to your life in a new way.

15. Tell your story your way. Sharing your life with your children and grandchildren will mean more to them than you know. Technology makes it easier to share photos and stories than ever before. Upload old photos to Flickr or start a blog to share your story with the world.

16. Brush up on new technology.

Speaking of new technology – are you confused about the Facebook feature your granddaughter explained to you? Would you like to figure out how to video chat on your own? Learn about a piece of technol-

CROPINSURANCESPECIALISTS .COM

ogy that is of interest through a local community class or your own research. Searching YouTube for tutorials is a good place to start, or reach out to the tech addict in your life.

17. Celebrate the Little Things. Every healthy check-up, child’s birthday, and reached goal is another reason to celebrate. Make 2017 the year that you acknowledge and celebrate the good moments.

18. Start a letter journal. Thanks to the Internet, handwritten letters are almost a thing of the past. However, seniors come from an era when writing letters by hand was an important, valued form of etiquette — a more personal way of keeping in touch.

19. Plan to age gracefully. Growing old has advantages as well as a few disadvantages, such as wrinkles, gray hair and changes to our bodies.

It is never too late to decide to pursue a healthy lifestyle, which increases the odds of aging gracefully.

20. Talk about the hard stuff. This resolution is not fun, but it is the most important. While your senior is able, help set the standards of care he or she desires should he or she become incapacitated later. Decide if you will designate a family member or hire a senior care professional to be the primary caregiver. Talking about estate planning and wills, along with other related issues, helps prepare everyone for the inevitable. Discussing these things in advance ensures that your loved one’s wishes are recorded and understood by all.

Rockwell City blood drive set for December 27

Courthouse to be closed December 26

Blood donors are needed urgently ahead of the upcoming holiday season.

With family traditions and holiday travel falling at the same time as winter weather and the flu season, the community blood supply often becomes scarce as blood donors are unable to make their regularly scheduled appointment this time of year.

If you’re able to donate, please do.

The Calhoun County Courthouse will be closed on Dec. 26 in obser-

Every two seconds, someone in the United States requires a blood transfusion to survive. Blood cannot be produced in a lab, so healthy volunteer LifeServers are the only lifesaving link for these hospital patients.

The next community blood drive is 1 to 5 p.m. Dec. 27 at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Rockwell City.

Schedule a blood donation appointment online at lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 800.287.4903.

Chapter B O, P.E.O. met Dec. 5 This Christmas Social was at the home of Steve and Gig Streeter in Lanesboro, Iowa. It was like a trip to the North Pole or Winter Wonderland with all the decorations of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future inside and outside of this merry and gorgeous home. Gig was a true “Mrs. Santa�, greeting everyone and making each one welcome to her home for this Holiday. Even Frosty the Snowman was there.

The Social Committee of Jeanette Watters, Deb Lightner, Peggy Scanlan and Karen Willis provided an awesome menu of delicious holiday treats and drinks. They could be Santa’s Helpers.

An added Christmas Spirit, was the singing of Christmas Carols assisted by Joy Angove playing the piano. The weather outside was great and the ride all the way home was delightful. What a blessed way to start the Christmas Celebration.

We extend our sympathy to the family of Mary Ann (Krause) Recker. She died at Shady Oaks Care Center in Lake City on November 26th at the age of 82 years. She was an Adaza native, graduating from Lohrville High School in 1953. She married LaVerne Jacobsen in 1955 and they had three children, Sandy, Carmen and Norman. They lived in the Lohrville/Churdan area. After LaVerneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1971 and when her children were out of school, she moved to Arizona. In 1995, Mary married Larry Recker of Oelwein.

Survivors are her husband Larry; daughters Carmen (Terry) Schamel of Lohrville, and Sandy; son Norman (Jaclin) Jacobsen of Mesa, AZ; five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; and a sister Norma Jean (Helmut) Maiwald. Step-children and step-grandchildren also survive.

Mary Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents were Joseph and Mathilda (Friemel) Krause. She was well-known in our area for the many wedding and birthday cakes she baked and decorated. She was also a quilter and taught that craft to others. Her funeral was Saturday the 3rd of December at St. Joseph Church in Lohrville with burial at Evergreen Cemetery.

Many from our neighborhood and beyond attended the cantata service of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Morning Starâ&#x20AC;? presented by â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Strings Attachedâ&#x20AC;? Woodwind and Strings Ensemble from Carroll the afternoon of Dec. 4th at St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church, rural Churdan. It was hosted by the preservation committee of the church and featured instrumental and vocal music of the Christmas season. There was an open house preceding the cantata.

There were enough snowflakes on the 3rd to rate the distinction of â&#x20AC;&#x153;first snowâ&#x20AC;? of the season, but it was almost gone by the next evening.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not everyone is ready to scoop their sidewalks or driveways anyway!

Ruth Consier went with Richard and Becky Consier and Autumn to Seward, NE, on the 3rd to attend the Christmas Concerts at Concordia College. The program was at St. John Lutheran Church. Three of Rich and Beckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, Garion, Robin, Tabby and her husband Karl Jones are studying there. Another of Ruthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandchildren, Jacob Mikkelson, son of Rita and Jeff Mikkelson of Bellevue, NE, is a freshman there this semester. The concert was most enjoyable for Ruth who has a great passion for all things musical. Garion was in the male chorus, Robin in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chorale, and Jacob in the university symphonic band.

It began to snow as they drove to Seward in the morning and increased in volume during the day. Jeff and Rita Mikkelson left Seward to return home right after the concert. They soon texted Richard to consider staying overnight there in Seward instead of trying to drive all the way home.

They took that advice, attended church services Sunday at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lutheran Church, had brunch with Tabby and Karl at their apartment, and then drove back to Churdan in better weather.

The Adaza Thursday Club had a joyful time at Jane Beschornerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home on the 8th. She hosted a group of ten members and a guest, Shelia Berger, for dinner with potluck salads and desserts. There was also a collection of food and funds to be contributed to the local food pantry.

Holiday greetings were signed to be sent to friends and neighbors. Lively discussions on current events and news went on for some time. Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas decorations and music added to the fun and good feelings!

LOHRVILLE My thought for the day is: More Christmas thoughts; Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Years. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you will need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10 pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.

The trivia question for the week is: In the early days of auto travel, what name was given to Highway 6 between Des Moines and Council Bluffs?

On Tuesday, the Helping Hand Club traveled to Tea Tyme in Fort Dodge. President Marylin Anderson had made reservations. Eight members attended and had a nice time and delicious food. A donation was taken

to be sent to the needy in the area.

Recently the Past Matrons Club of the Order of the Eastern Star met at the Masonic Temple in Carroll. Each member brought a Christmas ornament which will be put on a tree at the care facility where three of their members reside. President Phyllis Blancherd had prepared the meal.

The tables were decorated with antique jewelry of Phyllisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mother in law. There were some beautiful pieces. A good time was had by all.

Our birthday best wishes go to: Colter Scholtens whose birthday is on the 18th. Hope you have a happy one Colter.

The answer to the trivia question is: The Great White Way. So until next week, have a good one.

SUNNY KNOLL We have had a busy week at Sunny Knoll! We started off on Sunday with the 4-H club the Garfield Gleamers joining us for bingo. Then they shared Christmas presents with all of our residents. I have to say they were some of the most kind, respectful and helpful kids. They varied in ages and nobody was afraid to pitch in and lend a hand and help clean up.

We had a wonderful afternoon and I cannot thank them enough for thinking of us every year!

This week we also had Jimmy VanScoy join us for singing. He was joined by Ron Frericks as well. They put on a great show singing hits from Elvis, Frank Sinatra, and of course some Christmas songs. We also had

treats made by Linda Haeder and Sandy Feld. We are so spoiled with all the goodies we receive. It was such a fun afternoon.

Now we are gearing up for Christmas! This week we have our family and resident Christmas party.

We have s soup supper planned with carolers coming from the Immanuel Lutheran Church. Also Lynne Gentry is going to read Twas the Night before Christmas. I am looking forward to see our residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces when they see their family and the decorations and presents! I will be on vacation the week of the 12th, but we will still be busy, so stop in and see us! Jennifer Roberts-Activity Director

SHADY OAKS Mia the Macaw Visits Shady Oaks Though the late November day was cold and gloomy, Mia the Macaw made her appearance at Shady Oaks flaunting her vivid coat of blue, yellow, and green feathers. Team members and residents ooed and awed as Pam Schultz, CNA, made her way into the building to share her feathered friend with everyone. Residents sat in a circle listening intently about facts and details involving the bird.

Pam shared she has had Mia since she was a baby (she is now 5 years old) and will live to be about a 100.

Resident Pat D. shared she thought the bird was very interesting and amusing. Mia is just one out of 6 birds Pam and her husband have at home. In their free time they enjoy taking the intriguing birds to surrounding nursing homes for residents to view.

SUNNYVIEW What a party! The evening of December 4th was the Golden Buckle Home Christmas party, hosted by the Golden Buckle Home board of directors. Sunnyview was decked out with lovely Christmas trees and the dining room was filled with people, including Sunnyview residents and staff and their families. We enjoyed a buffet of pizza varieties from the Pizza Ranch.

Was there musical entertainment?

Yes, the 15 men of the Harmony Brigade presented barbershop renditions of familiar Christmas carols, all without accompaniment. We enjoyed the Christmas songs, and a bit of country and a bit of swing. Some of us sang along, especially during Sentimental Journey. The Harmony Brigade singers looked festive in their white shirts with colorful Christmas neckties, including the two members from Rockwell City. Thank you for the music!

Then GBH board chairman Jim Anderson and Sunnyview resident Carole Block distributed Christmas gifts to the Sunnyview staff. The Sunnyview staff wishes to thank the Sunnyview residents and the Golden Buckle Home board for the lovely gifts. The evening ended with each person receiving an apple and an orange. Thank you to everyone involved.

On Dec. 7 we observed the 75th anniversary of the attack at Pearl Harbor. Do you remember it? Recently there have been programs on Iowa Public Television about the USS

Sunnyview residents gathered in the dining room about 6 p.m. to meet several small children and several grown-ups. Thank you to the little children for coming to sing. Thank you to the grown-ups for coming, too. Thank you to Briana Back for setting this up. We hope you can come back again another time.

Many of us, including hunters, enjoy this time of year. This brings to mind a story about three hunters and their prize deer. Two hunters were dragging a deer back to their truck when another hunter met up with them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I surely donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to tell you what to do,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find it much easier if you drag the deer the other way so the antlers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dig into the ground.â&#x20AC;? After the hunter left, the two decided to try it his way. After a while, one said to the other, â&#x20AC;&#x153;That guy was right. This is a lot easier.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? the other agreed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we keep getting farther and farther away from the truck.â&#x20AC;?

Someone gave us this one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned that when I get my room the way I like it, Mom makes me clean it up again.â&#x20AC;? From a child, age nine.

CENTRAL SCHOOL REMEMBERS December 1991 25 Years Ago

Alumni: Melanie Iler – a fifth grade student at Southern Cal, won the school level competition of the National Geography Bee and a chance to win a $25,000.00 college scholarship.

Alumni: Laird and Cynthia Moulds now live very close to the Civil War battlefield of Antietam. Antietam is a small creek in western Maryland

and at its juncture with the Potomac River is where one of the bloodiest battles was waged in 1862.

High School Christmas Concert: On Wednesday, December 18 the Southern Cal vocal and band members will be performing their annual winter concert. “Christmas around the World” will be presented at the Lake City High School Auditorium.

The Lake City Council discussed the location and the purchase of

property for the proposed city fire station at the December council meeting. After discussion, a motion was made and seconded to proceed with the purchase of the land located on North Center Street, owned by Lenny Snyder.

Mr. and Mrs. John Devries had Thanks Giving dinner in their home on Thursday to celebrate John’s 65th birthday, Rod Devries 40th birthday AND Mr. and Mrs. John Devries’s

Mid-America purchases The Aurelia Star Mid-America Publishing Corporation is pleased to announce its purchase of The Aurelia Star and Marcell Publishing, LLC from Marci Brown, of Cherokee, effective Dec. 14.

The Star will be added to the Hampton-based corporations growing roster of 31 Iowa weekly newspapers and shoppers.

Other nearby papers also owned by Mid-America include those in Holstein, Ida Grove, and Lake City.

“We are excited to assume the ownership of The Aurelia Star,” said Mid-America Publishing’s President and CEO, Ryan Harvey. “We believe this fits naturally with our western Iowa properties and our company as a whole. Marci has done a phenomenal job at re-building the Star and we are eager to carry her momentum forward.”

Marci’s decision to sell the paper was ultimately related to her decision to retire.

“We want to thank Marci for allowing Mid-America to continue the legacy of the Star,” Matt Grohe Mid-America Publishing Corporation added. “We know she’s put her heart and soul into the paper and we look forward to working with the local community to provide the most robust news product possible going forward.”

Harvey will assume the duties and title of publisher of the newspaper while the staff of the Courier and Advance will remain responsible for day-to-day operations in the interim.

As part of its new ownership MidAmerica will be looking to add a part-time local writer and photographer to enhance coverage of local news and events.

“We believe a local newspaper needs to have local content,” Grohe said. “That’s why our mission going forward with The Aurelia Star is the same as with every paper we publish, and that is to use the paper to tell the stories of the local residents, report on local events, and provide strong coverage of local government at the city, county, and school district levels. We’ve been very happy with the product the staff in Ida Grove and Holstein has been able to produce since ownership changes there and we fully expect to replicate our success there here in Aurelia by providing unique content, compelling photos and quality journalism

for the folks in the region.”

The publication will join MidAmerica’s portfolio of weekly newspapers which aside from the Courier, Advance, and Ida County Reminder also include: The Calmar Courier; Postville Herald; The Outlook, in Monona; The Eldora Herald-Ledger and Hardin County Index, with an office in Eldora; The Leader, with offices in Garner and Britt; the Grundy Register, in Grundy Center; the Buffalo Center Tribune; the Parkersburg Eclipse-News-Review; the Wright County Monitor, in Clarion and Dows; the Eagle Grove Eagle; the Buffalo Center Tribune, The Pioneer Enterprise (RockwellThornton), The Sheffield Press; The Hampton Chronicle; The Butler County Tribune-Journal (Allison); the Clarksville Star, The Ogden Reporter, and The Graphic-Advocate, with offices in Lake City and Rockwell City.

The company also owns and operates newspapers in southeast Iowa, namely, The News-Review, in Sigourney, The Keota Eagle, Keota, and The Sun with offices in New Sharon and Fremont. The company additionally produces two weekly political newspapers, the Conservative Chronicle and the Liberal Opinion Week as well as several TMC shoppers, such as The Hampton Chronicle’s Bonus in Hampton, The Spectrum in Lake City-Rockwell City, The Leader’s Shopper News Review in Garner, The Reminder in Ida Grove; and the Wright County Reminder in Clarion; plus monthly shoppers such as The Dual County Leader in Eagle Grove and the Keokuk County Chief in Sigourney.

Additionally, the company publishes north central Iowa’s only Latino-oriented newspaper, Viva Iowa! which serves Franklin and Wright Counties. Mid-America also operates a custom printing division, Mid-America Business and Personal Printing, that offers individualized printing and publishing solutions such as banners, posters, postcards, direct mailing, mailing list management, letter head design, newsletter management and dozens of other marketing and promotional products which it plans to make available locally in the Alta and Aurelia area.

Mid-America Publishing Corporation is a closely held family run company owned primarily by the grand-

daughter of the founder, Willard D. Archie, Jeanette M. Grohe, and her husband Matt Grohe, who also serves as the company’s Chairman and corporate Vice President. The Grohe family has extensive ties to area with the board secretary, Ronald Grohe, having grown up in Alta, Storm Lake and Hartley. Ron is also the brother in law of Nona Grohe and uncle to Sue Grohe Roberts and Kelli Hirschman, Aurelia residents.

From the outset, several major changes will be evident with the Star. Namely, as part of the changeover the newspaper’s billing and circulation will be consolidated to the company’s home office in Hampton effective immediately. The printing of the newspaper will also move to the company’s Hampton facility and a new website and Facebook presence for the newspaper will be launched within a few weeks.

The newspaper will continue with its same email address, Aurstar@ gmail.com. The paper will also retain its current mailing address.

To reach the office, please call the Ida Grove location at 712-364-3131 for immediate assistance during business hours. Readers will note that the newsstand price will also be increasing from .75 cents to $1 effective next week and will be available at all of the same newsstand locations by Tuesday afternoons at 3 p.m. Also, effective immediately fees for publication of full obituaries will be $25. Engagement and birthday announcements will now cost $5 as well while a wedding announcement will be $10.

As far as the actual paper itself, the paper size will be a slightly wider format, expanding from a 25.5-inch web to a 28-inch web format. The format reflects the width of all other Mid-America papers which will allows advertising customers the opportunity to easily place advertising from the Star into any of the company’s other newspapers, and allows Mid-America to include other area social news and photographs of possible interest to local readers seamlessly into the format.

Readers can find more information on this story and additional coverage of the newspaper’s transition in next week’s Star.

Thank you for your past, present and future support of the Aurelia Star!

December 1941 75 Years Ago

Pearl Harbor: Residents of this community and county this week shared with other citizens of the nation in their first serious anxieties of the war. Eight local youths of the U.S. Navy are believed to be stationed out of ill-fated Pearl Harbor, those are: Donald Lynn – USS Chester; Wayne Whiting – USS Helena; Richard Bauman – USS Tennessee; Everett Winter – USS Colorado; Bud Higgins – USS Turn; Dale Astelford – USS Pennsylvania; Keith Coughennower – USS Friegel; John Boaz – USS Maury. Bernard Killion and the famed Patten brothers of this city (six brothers and their father who are on the same ship) were last known to be stationed on the USS Nevada off Midway Island.

Authors Note: None of the above local seaman were killed at Pearl

Harbor; the USS Nevada was at Pearl that day. There were 2402 casualties that day, 1177 were from the USS Arizona alone.

C. E. Wheeler, Foreign War veteran of WW 1, re-enlisted in the United States Navy. He was given a sendoff Wednesday evening when he was the honored guest at a party given by the Veterans of Foreign War and Auxiliary. Mr. Wheeler has been employed

by Watters Sales and Service here.

His wife and son will remain here in Lake City.

Some of the first Calhoun County men to volunteer for war were: Harold E. Onnen, Austin A. Poulson, Cecil D. Crabtree, Lyle O. Wallace all of Rockwell City; John F. Fisher of Rinard; Donald E. Stringer, George L. Frotscher all of Farnhamville; Paul J. Cavanaugh and Donald B. Gorton of Lohrville; Raymond A. Melody and Merl W. Holm of Lake City.

Message from the Calhoun County Defense Committee (in part): “Our country is engaged in war, which means the giving our all, not only in National Defense, but for the preservation of our freedom, and protection of our people and our property everywhere. This war is of great magnitude, involving nearly all the people of the world; it will affect every person and business enterprise in our country and our possessions. Our

county and our country are solidly against all our foes...”. “It is necessary that we help furnish our armed forces with necessary men, food, clothing, equipment and our government with money; that we have courage and faith, giving our undivided loyalty to our president and our country…”. Marion R. McCaulley, Chairman, Lake City.

Private Information: A few weeks ago it was demonstrated how an owner of a truck could contrive to use the truck for conveyance from Army headquarters in the east (east coast), when granted a furlough.

Wayne Trotter’s large truck was fitted with cover and other conveniences by his brother-in-law Ralph (Shine) Davis, who drove to camp, bringing home a group of soldiers, several from the Fort Dodge vicinity.

After a few days’ furlough here they were returned by Davis – by truck.

Markets: corn - .59c; oats - .41c; beans - $1.48; eggs - .27c.

PUBLIC NOTICE Calhoun County IN THE DISTRICT COURT FOR CALHOUN COUNTY JUVENILE DIVISION In the Interest of S.W. No. JVJV500672 PETITION FOR TEMINATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS COMES NOW, the States of Iowa, through Tina Meth Farrington, Calhoun County Attorney and on oath or affirmation, state that I having standing to submit this Petition and that the allegations made in this Petition are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief: 1. The legal name of the child is S.W., Date of Birth, September 28, 2015. The child’s domicile is as follows; family foster care, Fonda, IA. 2. The names, residences and domiciles of the designated parties are as follows: a. Living parents of the child: mother; Ashley Williamson, whereabouts 504 E Green St., Apt 6, Urbana, IL 61802, father; Damien Walker, whereabouts unknown. b. Guardian of the child: Martha Sibbel, Attorney at Law. c. Custodian of the child: Department of Human Services. d. Petitioner: Tina Meth Farrington, Calhoun County Attorney. e. Person standing in place of the parents of the child: Laurie Tague, DHS Social Worker II. 3. The parent-child relationship now existing between the child and their parents should be terminated pursuant to Iowa Code Section 232.116(1)(a),(1)(b),(1)(e) and (1)(h) as follows: 232.116(1)(a) Tthe parents voluntarily and intelligently consent to the termination of parental rights and the parent-child relationship and for good cause desire the termination.

232.116(1)(b) The court finds that there is clear and convincing evidence that the child has been abandoned or deserted.

232.116(1)(e) The court finds that all of the following have occurred: (1) The child has been adjudicated a child in need of assistance pursuant to section 232.96.

(2) The child has been removed from the physical custody of the child’s parents for a period of a least six consecutive months.

(3) There is clear and convincing evidence that the parents have not maintained significant and meaningful contact with the child during the previous six consecutive months and have made no reasonable efforts to resume care of the child despite being given the opportunity to do so.

232.116(1)(h)

The court finds that all of the following have occurred: (1) The child is three years of age or younger.

(2) The child has been adjudicated a child in need of assistance pursuant to 232.96.

(3) The child has been removed from the physical custody of the child’s parents for at least six months of the last twelve months, or for the last six consecutive months and any trial period at home was less than thirty days.

(4) There is clear and convincing evidence that the child cannot be returned to the custody of the child’s parents as provided in section 232.101 at the present time.

4. The whereabouts of the father is unknown after several attempts to locate him have been made. The mother refused to participate in an Interstate Compact request and therefore placement with her in the State of Illinois was denied.

The mother has also not cooperated in scheduling a date for her to fly to Fort Dodge, IA in order to have an in-person visit with her child. The mother has not had in-person contact with her child since she left her in the care of her mother on or about May 1, 2016.

5. The Department of Human Services will provide a plane ticket for the mother to have an in-person visit with her child. Facetime/Skype has been arranged for her to interact with her child. The Department completed an expedited Interstate Compact request to facilitate services and reunification for the mother. A Contract of Expectations was developed with the mother.

Family Foster Care has been provided for the child. FSRP services have been provided.

WHEREFORE, the State of Iowa requests that the Court enter an Order Terminating the parent-child relationship between S.W., the child and Ashley Williamson, the mother of the child and Damien Walker or any other putative father, and providing such other relief as the Court may seem just.

Students can now apply for Monsanto scholarships Agriculture is one of the top hiring sectors in the U.S., but few high school and college students currently intend to pursue a career in agriculture. In fact, recent research shows that employers have nearly 60,000 job openings in agriculture each year, but only approximately 35,000 students graduate each year with a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree or higher in agriculture.1 Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders program, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund and administered by the FFA, awards scholarships to help develop the next generation of agriculture leaders.

Now through Feb. 1, Calhoun County students looking to pursue higher education in an agriculture-related field of study from a two- or fouryear program or trade school are eligible to apply for a $1,500 scholarship in the program.

This year, more than 350 scholarships totaling more than $500,000 will be awarded across 41 states thanks to farmer endorsements of applications and support of the program. Scholarships are available for a variety of ag-related fields including: farming, agronomy, education, science, technology, business, communications and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The agriculture field provides many exciting and important career opportunities for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students, and we feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to support youth who are pursuing their studies in this growing and dynamic industry,â&#x20AC;? said Al Mitchell, Monsanto Fund president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through our Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders Program, with the support of farmers, we are raising awareness of ag-related careers and providing scholarships that will help develop future ag leaders.

Yard and Garden: Learning about Christmas tree facts and legends During the holiday season, Christmas trees make appearances across Iowa and across the nation as part of the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebration. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty to learn about these popular trees. What are their origins? How many are purchased yearly? And which are the most popular for home use?

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help answer queries about Christmas trees and other holiday plants.

To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate. edu.

What are the most popular Christmas trees in the United States?

The top selling Christmas trees in the United States are balsam fir, Douglas fir, Fraser fir, noble fir, Scotch pine, Virginia pine and white

pine.

How many Christmas trees are purchased each year?

According to the National Christmas Tree Association, U.S. consumers purchased 25.9 million farmgrown Christmas trees in 2015.

Seventy-six percent were purchased as pre-cut trees at garden centers, chain stores and other retail lots.

Twenty-four percent were purchased at local â&#x20AC;&#x153;choose and cutâ&#x20AC;? tree farms.

Oregon is the top Christmas tree producing state. In 2012, approximately 6.5 million trees were harvested in the state. North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Washington are the other top Christmas tree producing states. An estimated 27,000 trees were harvested in the state of Iowa.

What are the origins of the Christmas tree?

For thousands of years, evergreen trees have had a special meaning for the inhabitants of northern Europe.

The Germanic peoples would bring evergreen boughs into their homes during winter to insure the protection of the home and the return of life to the snow-covered forest. Druids, priests of the ancient Celts, decorated their temples with evergreen boughs during the winter solstice as a symbol of everlasting life. The Vikings decorated evergreens with carved objects and food to entice the tree spirits to return in spring.

The modern Christmas tree is believed to have originated in Germany in the 16th century. There are several legends regarding the origin of the Christmas tree.

Some believe the Christmas tree evolved from the Paradise Tree of the Middle Ages. During the 14th

and 15th centuries, evergreen trees played an important role in miracle and mystery plays. One such play dramatized the fall of Adam and Eve and was performed on Dec. 24. On stage during the play was a Paradise Tree (an evergreen with red apples hung from its branches).

Others believe that the Christmas tree began with Martin Luther. According to legend, Martin Luther was inspired by the beauty of the twinkling stars and stately evergreens on Christmas Eve. In an attempt to duplicate the scene, he cut down an evergreen, brought it home and decorated it with candles.

German immigrants and Hessian soldiers hired by the British to fight the colonists during the American Revolution are thought to have brought the Christmas tree tradition to the United States.
