Public safety commission approves five-year 28E agreement The Ida County Public Safety and Communications Commission approved a new 28E agreement for countywide law during its meeting Dec. 20 in Ida Grove. There were no changes to the agreement other than the effective dates. Voting in favor of the agreement were Ida Grove Mayor Morris Hurd, Battle Creek Mayor Lloyd Holmes, Holstein Mayor Connie Ludvigson, Arthur Mayor Randy Fineran and supervisors Rhett Leonard, Bob Paulsrud and Curt Phillips. Galva Mayor Stan Nading voted nay. The five-year 28E agreement is effective from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2022. The commission will consist of eight members—three supervisors and one representative from the Ida Grove, Holstein, Battle Creek, Galva and Arthur city councils. Percentages for each entity are as follows: Ida County—43 percent, Ida Grove—27.3 percent, Holstein—16.3 percent, Battle Creek—7.5 percent, Galva—3.3 percent and Arthur—2.6

percent. Prior to the vote, Holmes commented that Battle Creek is paying right at $97,000. “I’m worried about how to keep paying for countywide law but I don’t know what else we’d do for law enforcement.” Hurd asked if the county could assume all the costs related to the jail (approximately $73,000)? He said, “The county is going to have more revenue coming in than the cities are. I’d like the jail out of the countywide budget.” Sheriff Wade Harriman said that’s a decision for the public safety commission and if that happened, then the $25,000 in jail revenue would go to the county. Paulsrud commented that the county covers the cost of the jail payroll, insurance, liability and utilities. He also commented that all the revenue coming in would be used for roads. “The road north of Arthur is going to be a $12 million project,” said Paulsrud. Sheriff Harriman gave updates on three November arrests and

discussed recent mailbox damage. Arrests of note during November were: On Nov. 17, an Ida Grove woman was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and disseminating obscene material to a minor. On Nov. 27, four individuals were arrested following a short pursuit that began in Ida Grove and ended in the rural area. Charges filed included violation of a no contact order, operating while intoxicated first offense, eluding law enforcement, reckless driving and possession of methamphetamine. On Nov. 29, a Battle Creek man was arrested on an outstanding warrant charging him with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful possession of prescription medication. “A total of 25-26 mailboxes were damaged in the southern part of the county. Others were also (continued on page 2)

Value of Ida farmland decreases The average value of Ida County farmland decreased 7.61 percent in 2016, according to the annual Iowa State University survey of land values released Dec. 13. Statistics came from realtors and Ag lenders. This year marks the third consecutive year that farmland values statewide have shown a decline, which is the first time that has happened since the 1980s farm crisis. Farmland values statewide have now fallen almost 17.5 percent from the historically high

2013 values. Ida County farmland was valued at $8,167 per acre in 2016, a decrease of $673 per acre from the 2015 average of $8,840 per acre. Ida County’s percentage decrease is greater than the statewide average percentage decrease in value for all grades of farmland. The average price of farmland in Iowa decreased 5.9 percent or $449 per acre. Ida County farmland is valued $984 above the statewide average of $7,183. (continued on page 2)

more about–

. . . farmland value (continued from front page) The following is a comparison of how area counties fared in the survey. The first number is the 2016 price, the second number is for 2015, the third figure is the dollar change and the final figure is the percentage change. Buena Vista—$8,996, $9,570, -$574, -5.99 percent. Cherokee—$8,577, $9,219, -$642, -6.96 percent. Crawford—$7,784, $8,424, -$640, -7.59 percent. Ida—$8,167, $8,840, -$673, -7.61 percent. Monona—$6,463, $7,054, -$571, -8.37 percent. Sac—$8,858, $9,502, -$644, -6.78 percent. Woodbury—$6,691, $7,298, -$642, -8.32 percent. Land values were determined by the 2016 Iowa State University Land Value Survey, which was conducted in November by the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development at Iowa State University and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Results from the survey are consistent with results by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, the Realtors Land Institute and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Wendong Zhang, assistant professor of economics at Iowa State University, led the annual survey. The $7,183 per acre, and 5.9 percent drop in value, represents a statewide average of low, medium and high quality farmland. The survey does also report values for each land quality type, crop reporting district (district hereafter) and all 99 counties individually. Average farmland values hit a historic peak of $8,716 per acre in 2013, but declined 8.9 percent in 2014, 3.9 percent in 2015 and have now fallen an additional 5.9 percent. “The golden era of phenomenal, yet abnormal growth in farm income and land values, as we saw from 2006 to 2013, is already behind us. The land market is going through an orderly adjustment while the U.S. agricultural sector, a competitive industry, is trying to adjust to the old normal of zero industry-wise net profits,” said Zhang. “For a pessimist, there are reasons to worry, especially for landowners and/or producers who are over-leveraged. For an optimist, this decline is still modest, and the probability of a replay of the 1980s farm crisis is low.” Zhang said the likelihood of another farm crisis is low due to

steady farm income accumulation before the downturn, a stronger government safety net and an overall lower debt level in the agriculture sector. Starting in 2004, several factors, including the ethanol boom and historically low interest rates, drove five consecutive years of double-digit growth in average farmland values. By 2008, average values were almost 70 percent higher than 2004, and by 2013, average values were over 230 percent higher than 2004 values. While they have declined three years in a row now, average values are still 173 percent higher than 2004. The decline didn’t come as a surprise for some — in November 2015, more than 75 percent of ISU Land Value Survey respondents thought land values in their territory would continue to decline in 2016. The majority predicted the decline would be either less than 5 percent or between 5 and 10 percent, which is consistent with the 5.9 percent decrease reported by the 2016 ISU survey. “Looking ahead, land values might continue to adjust downwards in the next year or two,” said Zhang. “This is consistent with the stagnant corn and soybean futures prices and potential rise in interest rates; however, many respondents to the ISU survey are hoping for the market to rebound in three or four years.” Values by county All 99 counties reported a drop in average land values this year. For the fourth year in a row, Scott and Decatur counties reported the highest and lowest farmland values, respectively. Decatur County reported a value per acre of $3,443, a loss of $71, or about 2 percent, from last year’s report. Scott County reported a value of $10,335, a decrease of $583 per acre, or about 5.3 percent, close to the statewide average decline of 5.9 percent. Plymouth and Sioux counties reported the largest dollar decrease in values, $747 per acre, and Monona County reported the largest percent decline in values, 8.4 percent. Decatur County reported the smallest dollar decrease, $70 per acre, and Decatur, Appanoose, Wayne and Lucas counties all reported the smallest percent decrease in average values, at 2 percent. Values by district All nine districts reported a loss in average land values in 2016. The highest average land values

were reported in the Northwest district, at $9,243 per acre. The lowest average values were reported in the South Central district, at $4,241 per acre. The largest district-wide decrease in value was in West Central Iowa, which reported a drop of 8.7 percent, bringing farmland values there down to $7,358 per acre. The smallest decrease was reported in the Southeast district, 2.6 percent, bringing values there to $6716 per acre. Values by land quality Low-quality land in the Southwest and South Central districts were the only areas to show an increase in average values, reporting gains of 2.9 and 5.2 percent, respectively. Zhang says that the increase is due to strong recreational demand and high Conservation Reserve Program payments. Statewide, low quality land declined the least, $169 per acre, or 3.5 percent. Medium quality land declined $422 per acre, or 5.9 percent. High quality land statewide declined the most per acre, losing $606, or 6.5 percent, of its value. The statewide averages per acre for low, medium and high quality land are now $4,665, $6,705 and $8,758, respectively. Factors influencing values The most common positive factors influencing land prices noted by survey respondents were low interest rates, strong crop yields, limited land supply and strong demand. The most commonly cited negative influences were lower commodity prices, high input prices, livestock losses, weak cash rental rates and a weakening global economy and stock market returns. The ISU Land Value Survey is based on reports by agricultural professionals knowledgeable of land market conditions such as appraisers, farm managers and agricultural lenders, and actual land sales. It is intended to provide information on general land value trends, geographical land price relationships, and factors influencing the Iowa land market. The 2016 survey is based on 518 usable responses providing 711 county land values estimates. Forty-eight percent of respondents answered the survey online. CARD offers a new web portal at http://www.card.iastate.edu/ farmland/ that includes visualization tools, such as charts and interactive county maps, allowing users to examine land value trends over time at the county, district and state level.

Under jail, Harriman reported the annual food inspection of the jail meal prep area was conducted Dec. 19 and according to a verbal

report, the county needs to have a sink in the food prep area. Harriman has not received the written report detailing the inspection. Under personnel, Harriman reported he has purchased a K-9 from Michigan and that Deputy Alex Ehlers will be training with the dog in late February/early March. Harriman also noted a

Ida County Healthcare Coalition donates AEDs to school districts The Ida County Healthcare Coalition recently donated four automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to Ida County school districts: O-A/BC-IG in Ida Grove and Ridge View in Holstein. A request to the coalition for this potential life-saving equipment came from athletic director Larry Allen of O-A/BC-IG. After it was discovered there was similar interest from Ridge View, the coalition, which consists of Ida County Public Health, the Ida County Emergency Management and Horn Memorial Hospital, made a request to the state for the equipment. The state approved the purchase of eight AEDs through the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designated Hospital Preparedness and Emergency Preparedness grant funds. The total for the eight AEDs and associated equipment was a little over $15,000. Chris Nichols, Horn Memorial Hospital CEO, stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This reflects great communication and coordination between the schools and the healthcare entities in Ida County. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so pleased that the coalition could play a role to facilitate this positive step in the health of our communities.â&#x20AC;? According to the American Heart Association, 23 percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are â&#x20AC;&#x153;shockableâ&#x20AC;? arrhythmias, or those that respond to a shock

from an AED, making AEDs in public places highly valuable. The use of an AED can increase the chance of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest by 70 percent. Communities with comprehensive AED programs that include CPR and AED training for rescuers have achieved survival rates of nearly 40 percent for cardiac arrest victims. O-A/BC-IG shared Superintendent Terry Kenealy added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ida County Healthcare Coalition recognized the importance of having automated external defibrillators in our school buildings to help address cardiac arrests in our communities and potentially save lives. We are sincerely grateful for this life-saving gift to our schools and appreciate the cooperative spirit that exists between the Horn Memorial Hospital, Ida County Community Healthcare Coalition and the school district.â&#x20AC;? Jon Wiebers, superintendent of Ridge View Schools, also commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to thank the Ida County Health Care Coalition for the efforts in securing the AEDs. This is another great example of how school, community and business partners working together can provide necessary and vital services to our schools.â&#x20AC;?

Horn Physicians Clinics making transition to serve patients as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;patient-centered medical homeâ&#x20AC;? Horn Physicians Clinic is in the transition of serving patients as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patient-Centered Medical Homeâ&#x20AC;? (PCMH). The term â&#x20AC;&#x153;PCMHâ&#x20AC;? is a new way of practice that promotes the patient to take active participation in their health. Under the Patient Centered Medical Home concept, a stronger partnership is promoted between patient, healthcare provider and the assigned care team. This new model assists in delivering more coordinated, accessible and higher quality healthcare experience by ensuring that patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; preventive, acute and chronic care needs are met. This is done through enhanced communication and follow-up by the care team assigned to each patient. Some key components of the Patient Centered Medical Home include a healthcare coach, a coordinated team approach and the ability to communicate after hours with your provider. Gedget Bauer, a longtime employee of HMH, was hired this fall as a health coach for the HPC Clinics. Her vast responsibilities include working with â&#x20AC;&#x153;at riskâ&#x20AC;? patient populations on chronic health management, preventative health and education. This is done in conjunction with the care team assigned to each patient. As for the ability to reach a provider after hours, all providers at the HPC clinics will rotate on-call responsibilities, which include responding to patients over the telephone to provide clinical advice and/or arranging care during non-office hours. Various responsibilities of the assigned care team include: planning each appointment by reviewing medical records and making sure all required docu-

ments are in the chart upon each visit, follow-through to make sure testing is completed and results are obtained and shared with patients in a timely manner, follow-up on referrals to other healthcare specialists, making sure appointments are kept and that specialists have pertinent patient information before an appointment and making sure that a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular provider receives the specialistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations. The care team also makes sure that patients understand the instructions given by providers and are willing to work with patients in person or over the phone to ensure this. As a Patient Centered Medical Home, there is more focus on prevention, education and compliance based on a healthcare providerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations. The overall goals and service at Horn Physicians Clinics will not change. All staff are committed to compassionate, patient-centered care through education, promotion and encouragement of healthy living, thereby improving quality of life within the communities HPC clinics serve. Overall, the Patient-Centered Medical Home that HPC clinics is transitioning to will put the patient in the center of the healthcare system and ask them to take responsibility for their own health. It will also enhance patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; personalized care, serve as a guide through the complex health system, offer better access to care and teach better problem-solving strategies for managing chronic health conditions.

Forty years ago The Ida County Compensation Board has approved salary increases for five of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elected officials on a three to two split vote of the five-member board. Miriam Hartleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote broke the two-to-two tie that occurred at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting. The recommendation now goes to the Ida County Board of Supervisors for them to agree or lower the amount the elected officials receive. At the end of 1977, Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Super Value grocery store in Ida Grove advertised the following items at the listed prices: ground chuck at $.99 per pound, 10-pound bag of Russet potatoes for $.89, Crisco three-pound can of shortening $1.49, Tide laundry detergent for $3.99 and sirloin steak at $1.89 a pound. Thirty years ago The Ida County Board of Supervisors approved the recommendation of the compensation board to freeze salaries of elected county officials for the upcoming year. Members of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compensation board included Duane Simonson of Arthur, chairman; Daryl Miller

To the editor: Winter is here, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complain too much after we had such beautiful fall weather in November. Our Christmas open house at the Moorehead Museum is over. We had a great turn out. We had beautiful music from the school children. Also we had many beautiful trees and decorations. Christmas Day has come and gone and New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day will soon be here. I just want to remind our members and hopefully new members that the membership for Ida County Historical Society (ICHS) runs from Jan. 1, 2017 to Jan. 1, 2018. Our dues are: singleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;$3 a year, familyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;$5 yearly and we have a sustaining membership for $25 (no set time). This is to help provide support for our expenses. No need to come to our meetings but you are welcome to. This will be recorded in our ledger with your amount and date. And

At the end of the year in 1986, Joyceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foodland advertised the following items at the listed prices: generic saltine crackers for $.49, Kraft American Cheese 16 oz. package for $1.99, 15-pack of Strohâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beer for $3.99, loaf of bread for $.59, smoked pork chops for $2.19 a pound, ground chuck 85 percent for $1.49 per pound and an eight-pack of Pepsi in a glass bottle for $1.39. Twenty years ago Bob Croxell of Holstein officially retired from the Ida County Soil and Water Conservation Board Tuesday, Dec. 17. Croxell has served on the board since 1983, including six years as chairman. He also served three years on the northwest Iowa conservation board. The Ida County Soil and Water Conservation Board presented Croxell with a plaque in appreciation of his years of dedicated service. Mid-Sioux Opportunity Inc. has been chosen to receive $1,000 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in Ida County.

The selection was made by a national board that is chaired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). A local board will determine how the funds awarded are to be distributed. Ten years ago The average value of Ida County farmland increased 13.1 percent in 2006, according to the annual Iowa State University survey of land values released Dec. 19. Ida County farmland was valued at $3,668 per acre in 2006, an increase of $425 per acre from the 2005 average of $3,243 per acre. Ida County was above the statewide average percentage increase in value for all grades of farmland. The Ida County Public Safety and Communications Commission heard several updates during its regular meeting Dec. 19 at the courthouse. Sheriff Wade Harriman reported that Deputy Brian Thompson of Battle Creek has resigned. Harriman has contacted the Civil Service Commission to line up candidate testing in February. The top 10 candidates are then presented to the sheriff for interviews.

Commercial manure applicator training to be held Jan. 5 New and existing commercial manure applicators can meet their certification training requirements Jan. 5 at 75 Iowa locations and two out-of-state locations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to get to class and submit the paper work before applying manure,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff Prier, DNR environmental specialist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a few people this year who needed reminding that just because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve attended class, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not certified until everything has reached our Des Moines office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The training provides a good update on rule changes and current issues,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be discussing hydrogen sulfide safety, uniform manure distribution and how DNR handles enforcement this year.â&#x20AC;? Iowa State University Extension will offer the training from 9 a.m. to noon at county Extension offices and affiliated locations. Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m., but applicators must pre-register for the workshops by Dec. 28 to ensure adequate seat-

ing in the county where they plan to attend. In addition to the Jan. 5 training, ISU Extension will offer eight dry/ solid manure workshops for commercial applicators in February. Pre-register for sessions at your county Extension office, listed on the Iowa Manure Management Action Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. Applicators must attend the entire training session to complete certification. As another option, DNR offers convenient online training and fee payment. To take the education course online, register for an IowaID and follow the prompts. After creating an IowaID, sign in for online payment processing and information regarding applicatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; renewals, expiration dates and fees. Certificates for all commercial manure applicators expire March 1. To avoid late fees, currently certified applicators must complete the training, and submit forms and fees to the DNR before that date. Prier said even

if they completed certification this fall they must complete training and re-certify before March 1. Commercial applicators who cannot attend the Jan. 5 training should contact their county extension office to schedule a time to watch a video. Prier urges applicators to attend the Jan. 5 training if possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many county offices are offering scheduled times to provide the training and will no longer accept walk-ins,â&#x20AC;? he said. County extension offices will charge a fee to applicators who want to view the video at their convenience. However, applicators will not have to pay fees for scheduled training dates and live workshops. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another option for applicators. They can take a 50-question exam. Schedule an appointment at the DNR field office most convenient to you, by calling: Spencer, 712-2624177 or Atlantic, 712-243-1934. Or, find more information about the manure applicators certification program on the DNR or Extension websites.

Christmas bird count tallies 39 species Thirty-nine species of birds totaling 1,809 birds were counted in Ida County during the annual Ida County Conservation Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas bird count Dec. 18.

Some of the species observed were purple finch, snow bunting, eastern bluebird, long eared owl and northern flicker.

Participating in the count were Jerry Probst of Sioux City, Warren Dunkle of Sioux City, Pete Ernzen of Ida Grove, Jack Holmes of Ida Grove, Jerome Lehmann of Battle Creek, Don Poggensee of Ida Grove and Danielle Bennett of Galva.

Social Security by Brian DeMoss Social Security district manager Spencer/Storm Lake We have all received gifts weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted to return: ugly socks or sweaters that look exactly like the one you got (or gave) last year. Sometimes, just letting loved ones know that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there for them, no matter what, is the best gift of all. And you avoid the embarrassment of giving an awkward gift. Social Security is also there for you and your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all year long. For this holiday season, give your loved ones some peace of mind by introducing them to Social Securityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many programs. While creating new holiday memories, help your family members create a safe and secure my Social Security account atwww.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the gift that keeps on giving all year long, with features that let you: â&#x20AC;˘Get your Social Security Statement, to review: estimates of your future retirement, disability and survivorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefits; your earnings once a year to verify the amounts that we posted are correct and the estimated Social Security and Medicare taxes youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve paid. â&#x20AC;˘Get a benefit verification letter stating that: you never received Social Security benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Medicare; or you received

benefits in the past, but do not currently receive them. The letter will include the date your benefits stopped and how much you received that year or you applied for benefits but havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t received an answer yet. Some of us might need extra help because of a disability. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made it easy to apply for disability benefits atwww.socialsecurity.gov/applyfordisability. Additionally, we have resources for family members in the military who have been injured while serving or are now disabled veterans. They can find out about benefits they may be eligible for at www. socialsecurity.gov/people/veterans. Your loved ones will also appreciate the gift of convenience. Social Security has many online services that can fit their diverse needs atwww.socialsecurity. gov/onlineservices. Receiving support and friendship often means more than material gifts. As youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exchanging presents this holiday season remember to also exchange some knowledge and pass on the effectiveness of my Social Security and our online services. Your loved ones will appreciate it.

The Holstein Advance

Iowa has first flu-related death The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) announced the first flu-related death of the 2016-17 influenza season, an elderly (81 years of age and older) Central Iowa woman who had underlying health conditions. Influenza activity in Iowa has been low so far this season, but IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk, says this death is an indication that flu can be a serious illness. “This death is an unfortunate reminder the flu virus does have the potential to cause severe illness and death, especially in the very young, very old or those who have underlying health conditions.” The flu vaccine is the best de-

fense against getting influenza. It’s especially important to be protected during the holiday season, when friends and family are likely to travel or gather for meals and parties, making it more likely to spread illness around. This week offers a good opportunity to drop by the many places that offer flu vaccinations. College students are returning home, elementary and high school kids are starting their winter break and shoppers are finishing up their holiday lists. IDPH recommends that while out and about, Iowans take a quick break to get their flu vaccination. It will protect them and their friends and loved ones from illness. It’s also important to remember

the 3Cs: Cover your coughs and sneezes, Clean your hands frequently and Contain germs by staying home when ill. Besides vaccination, handwashing is the single best way to prevent the spread of illness. The flu is a respiratory illness caused by viruses. The flu comes on suddenly and symptoms may include fever, headache, tiredness, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion and body aches. Illness typically lasts two to seven days and often puts healthy people in bed for days. The ‘stomach bug’ which causes diarrhea and vomiting is not caused by the influenza virus, but usually by norovirus; thus, the flu vaccine will not protect you against this illness.

Fishing report

Ridge View girls head into Christmas break with a 6-2 record The Ridge View girls closed out the pre-Christmas portion of their schedule last week with a win and a loss. The Raptors are 6-2 as they await their next game, which is slated for Jan. 6 in Sloan against Westwood. Ridge View 40, SC 37 Ridge View squeezed out a three-point road decision over Sioux Central Dec. 20 thanks to a late scoring run. Sioux Central held a 14-12 lead after one quarter. The game was tied 20-20 at halftime and 26-26 after three quarters. With about four and half minutes to play in the game Ridge View found itself in a 35-29 hole, but went on an 11 to two scoring run to close out the game. “It was a battle all the way,” noted coach Brian Bode. “Sioux Central has a nice team; they are definitely better than their record. Our girls never got rattled and executed down the stretch finishing on an 11 to two run. Beth Pickhinke and Kinzey Dutler both had big baskets to spark our run. We went seven of 10 for free throws in the fourth.” Bode added Sioux Central hit six three-pointers in the first half. “That was huge for them, but our girls did a much better job of protecting the perimeter in the second half.” Dutler led Ridge View in scoring with 13 points. She also had six assists, seven steals and three blocked shots. Pickhinke added 11 points. Harlee Wagoner grabbed 13 rebounds. “Dutler had an all around great performance,” said Bode. “Her ability to score and court awareness gives us advantages on both ends. Wagoner continued to dominate the rebounds category, but I thought Erin Johnson and Kara Richard tracked down a lot loose balls as well. The difference in the game came down to which team

rebounded better.” Quarter scores RView 12 20 26 —40 SC 14 20 26 —37 Ridge View stats Field goals: 14-40, 35%. Free throws: 10-17, 59%. Scoring: Dutler, 13; Pickhinke, 11; Wagoner, 6; E.

The Braves led at each quarter break on scores of 21-12, 45-28 and 63-39. “The girls played a tough game, but I felt we needed to do a better job of taking care of the basketball,” noted coach Bode. “We aren’t satisfied with how the game ended up, but we will learn from it and get better.” Sophomore Kinzey Dutler led a trio of Ridge View players who scored in double figures. She recorded 20 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, three steals and three blocked shots. “Dutler had another great game for us and taking control of things. She just loves to compete,” noted Bode. Harlee Wagoner scored 10 points and pulled down 12 rebounds. Beth Pickhinke chipped in with 10 points.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issues a fishing report compiled from information gathered from local bait shops, angler creel surveys and county and state parks staff. For more information about lakes and rivers in this area call the Black Hawk District Office in Lake View at 712-657-2638 or go online at iowadnr.com. While ice has formed on area lakes and ponds, anglers are advised to use caution and to drill test holes as they venture out on to bodies of water as the depth of the ice will vary, especially mid lake where ice is more variable. Ice thickness is also more variable on larger water bodies. Black Hawk Lake: The lake has an abundant panfish and walleye population. Find good numbers of bluegill and crappies up to 10 inches. Black Hawk pits: Use a wax worm or small minnow on a jig to target the abundant panfish population this lake has to offer. Storm Lake (including Little Storm Lake) Anglers are making their way out onto Storm Lake and are having good luck. Yellow perch - Fair: Use wax worms and minnows fished on a jig in five to eight feet of water. White bass - Fair: Try minnow heads on a jigging spoon. Walleye - Good: Use a minnow head on a jigging spoon in areas five to eight feet deep during mid-afternoon. Black crappie - Good: Fish are suspended, use a jig tipped with a wax worm or a minnow. The bite is better late evening and after dark.

Raptors finish out first part of hoop season at 3-5 The Ridge View boys’ basketball team closed out the pre-Christmas portion of its schedule Thursday with a loss to Cherokee. Earlier in the week the Raptors bettered Manson-Northwest Webster. The Raptors’ season record is 3-5 overall and 2-2 in the WVC. Ridge View’s next game is Jan. 6 in Sloan against Westwood. Ridge View 59, M-NW 56 Ridge View held off Manson-Northwest Webster in a back and forth game played in Schaller Dec. 19. The game wasn’t decided until the final eight seconds of the fourth quarter. “It was another fun and exciting game to be apart of,” noted Raptor coach Dale Tokheim. “I was real happy with the effort and the attitude. We are starting to make better choices on shot selection and working together as a team. “It was nice to see us battle back in the fourth quarter when they got hot and hit four three-pointers. The other thing I thought we did was try to go to the guy who was feeling it or who had the match up we wanted. Overall, it was just a good win and one that we needed to give us some confidence.” Tokheim noted neither team led by more than seven points for most of the game. M-NW was up 18-13 after one period. Ridge View owned a 26-24 edge at halftime. “The big story was we held them to six points in the second quarter,” said Tokheim. “In the third, we held them to nine points while Tyler Wingert hit two big threes and Jaxon Franken went four of five from the line in the quarter.” Ridge View led 39-33 at the end of three quarters. In the fourth, Klint Blum hit a jumper from the corner for two points at the seven minute mark to give Ridge View its biggest lead at 43-36. M-NW regained the lead

at 45-43 when it got hot from the outside and hit three straight three pointers while holding Ridge View scoreless. In the last minute of play with the game tied at 55-55, Ridge View’s Jake Tokheim drove the lane and made a basket to go up 57-55. The Raptors were called for a foul with under 20 seconds to play. M-NW made one of two free throws and in the scramble after the missed free throw; M-NW fouled Tokheim who hit two free throws to give Ridge View a 5956 lead with under eight seconds. M-NW missed a three-point shot from the corner to end the game. The Raptors featured a balanced scoring effort led by Tyler Wingert who pumped in 16 points; Colton Wunschel added 14 points and Jaxon Franken scored 12 points. Eight players scored for Ridge View. “We had three guys in double figures again, which just shows you we are willing to share the ball,” said coach Tokheim. Quarter scores RView 13 26 39 —59 MNW 18 24 33 —56 Ridge View stats Field goals: 19-38, 50%. Free throws: 15-27, 55.5%. Scoring: Wingert, 16; Wunschel, 14; Franken, 12; Tokheim, 8; Degen, 4; Kliegl, 2; Klint Blum, 2; Miller, 1. Rebounds: 26 (Kliegl, 7). Assists: 13 (Wingert, 4). Steals: 8 (four with two). Blocks: 0 Fouls: 17 Cherokee 56, Ridge View 44 Cherokee built an 11-point lead at halftime and was able to maintain that advantage in the second half of a non-conference win over Ridge View in Cherokee Thursday. “We just turned the ball over too much and didn’t shoot the ball well,” noted coach Tokheim. “Cherokee passed the ball well, but I didn’t think we played the best defense in the first half, but it did get better in the second half.

“Offensively, we just made some bad decisions against the half court trap and had trouble just catching the ball. We got open looks, but just couldn’t hit enough shots from the outside. We probably settled too many times for the three-pointers and should have attacked the rim when the shots weren’t falling. Plus, I probably didn’t go to the guys in the middle enough against the zone. “There is plenty of blame to go around for this loss. We just need to come back to practice over Christmas break and keep working to get better. We have the talent to compete, but we have to keep working and trust each other and believe in what we are trying

CRMC community health needs assessment report available During 2016, Cherokee Regional Medical Center (CRMC) conducted a community health needs assessment (CHNA) to support its mission to provide high quality, patient-centered health care. The assessment was also completed to comply with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and federal tax-exemption requirements and to identify health needs of the community to help prioritize the allocation of hospital resources to meet those needs. CRMC also utilized the

2015 CHNA conducted by CRMC Public Health for Cherokee County. On Dec. 19, the Cherokee Regional Medical Center Board of Directors approved the 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment Report. Anyone interested in reading the report may visit the CRMC website at www.cherokeermc.org. Individuals can then easily access, download, view and print a hard copy of the CHNA report without fee. This CHNA Report will remain on the CRMC

website until two subsequent CHNA reports have been posted, so information on trends will continue to be available to the public. In addition, CRMC will make a paper copy of this report and subsequent reports available for public inspection without charge upon request at administration on second floor of the hospital. If anyone has any questions regarding the 2016 CHNA or previous reports, feel free to contact CRMC Administration at 712225-1505.

Ida High Achievers discuss community service projects The Ida High Achievers met on Dec. 11. Taylor Oldham led the pledge and roll call was: What is your favorite Christmas movie with 13 members answering. The secretary’s report and treasurer’s report were given and approved. Oldham gave a presentation that included how to make rhubarb bars. This type of project would be a great fair idea for some of our first year 4-Her’s looking for a fair project.

New business included discussion about having a bake sale during the Extension open house. We have decided not to do a bake sale this year, as the date for the open house did not work for our club. There was also discussion about cleaning the State movie theater in Holstein and alternating with other community clubs. The club also considered applying for a grant to use toward some community ser-

vice opportunities. Each member of the club is to come to the next meeting with a community service idea. The next meeting will be on Jan. 8 with a program on visual arts. Each member of the club is to bring their own canvas to paint on. The 4-H pledge was led by Tatum Oldham and the meeting was adjourned. Morgan Todd Secretary

U.S. Senator Joni Ernst announced her four senate committee assignments for the 115th Congress. The Iowa Senator will serve on the following senate committees: armed services; agriculture, nutrition and forestry; small business and entrepreneurship; and environment and public works. “I am thrilled to continue working on the issues that impact Iowans in these respective committees,” said Ernst. “Throughout my time on the

senate armed services; agriculture, nutrition and forestry; and small business and entrepreneurship committees, i have worked to ensure Iowans’ voices and priorities are heard. I look forward to continuing to advocate on our state’s behalf to find ways to grow our agricultural economy, cut burdensome regulations, and ensure our nation remains safe and secure. “Additionally, my placement on the senate environment and

public works committee will allow me the opportunity to bring a greater focus on our state’s infrastructure needs, including the very critical flood projects, protecting against overreach by the EPA on things like WOTUS, and defending the RFS. I look forward to working with my colleagues and voicing Iowans’ concerns as part of the environment and public works committee in this next Congress.” The 115th Congress will begin on Jan. 3.
