New monitoring system: Horn Memorial Hospital recently installed a new cardiac/ pulmonary rehab monitoring system. The new monitoring system is used for every patient who attends either cardiac or pulmonary rehab and replaces a 13-year-old piece of equipment. Features of the new system include EKG (heart) and oxygen level monitoring and METS (work-load) calculations; it also serves as the charting platform, gives summaries of exercise sessions, tracks education classes and takes photos of the patient for identification purposes. This state-of-the-art system was partially funded by a grant from the Ida County Community Betterment Foundation (ICCBF). ICCBF’s ongoing support of Horn Memorial Hospital is recognized and appreciated. From left: Megan Zimmerman, Jean Cipperley, Kathy Henrich and Sarah Tarr.

Grilling: Ida County Farm Bureau held its annual free fair supper to kick off the fair Wednesday, July 19. Approximately 360 people braved the heat.

Immunization clinic extends hours A new school year is fast approaching, and now is the time to review children’s immunization records to be sure vaccinations are up-todate. It is especially important for children entering kindergarten, seventh grade, 12th grade and college.

Horn Public Health will hold extended Vaccine for Children (VFC) clinics in August. The clinics will be Tuesday, Aug. 8, and Wednesday, Aug. 9, from 9 a.m. to noon and 2 to 5 p.m.

To be eligible for VFC clinics, a child must meet one of the eligibility requirements: is enrolled in Medicaid, does not have health insurance, is American Indian or Alaskan Native or is underinsured (has health insurance that does not pay for vaccinations).

Public Health is located in the upper level of the Medi-

cal Arts Building at 700 East 2nd St. in Ida Grove. Please bring the child’s Medicaid/ MCO cards. Parents can call 712-364-7311 with questions.

The Iowa school immunization law requires parents to vaccinate their children against diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), measles, rubella, polio, hepatitis B and chickenpox as a condition of entry into kindergarten. Booster immunizations can be given any time after a child’s fourth birthday.

Beginning with the 201314 school year, Iowa requires a one-time booster dose of Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) for students in grades seven and above, if born on or after Sept. 15, 2000.

Beginning with the 201718 school year, Iowa re-

quires meningococcal (A, C, W, Y) vaccine for students enrolling in seventh and 12th grades. The change requires a one-time dose of meningococcal (A, C, W, Y) vaccine received on or after 10 years of age for applicants in grades seven and above, if born after Sept. 15, 2004; and two doses of meningococcal (A, C, W, Y) vaccines for applicants in grade 12, if born after Sept.

15, 1999, or one dose if received when applicants are 16 years of age or older.

Students continuing onto post-secondary education need to check with their college or institution to see what vaccinations are required or recommended.

As a reminder, it is important to maintain immunization records in a safe place.

Proof of immunizations may be necessary throughout life.

If a man had to protect his bride, he would hold her with his left hand, and ight off attackers with his right arm. The reason that men may have had to ight off others was because women were often kidnapped.

Letter to the Editor Letter to editor: Thanks to the “Concerned Citizens of Ida County” for telling me what I can and can’t do on my land. Thanks also for giving the landowners on the northwest side of the county the same opportunity as the ones on the southeast side.

Four hundred eighty-three people of the concerned citizens of Ida County make up a short 7 percent of the population in the county, so that means that 93 percent of the population either doesn’t have an opinion on the windmills or they are for them. I thought this country was built on a democracy. Why consider what 7 percent want?

In 1980, the population of Ida County was 9,000 and 35 years later, in 2015, it was 7,000, so thanks to the “Concerned Citizens of Ida County” for basically saying no to more economic development in Ida County so we can continue down the same path. Also, how many hundred million dollar projects have come to Ida County? I guess these size of projects are lined up at the door, so we just as well say no to them; that way, we can pick and choose which ones we want. They won’t come back once we say no. So why not say yes to not only a hundred million dollar project for the county, but also one that participating landowners will receive bene its year after year.

One of the smallest counties in the state and we would have the largest setback in the state, of 5,280-feet away from nonparticipating residences and 1,640-feet away from participating residences and property lines. The setbacks among other Iowa counties range from zero to 1,600-feet and Ida County is already at 1,250; that is almost 80 percent of the largest one already. And, we still had Invenergy consider our county for a wind project.

I’d say that’s amazing in itself.

Adair County in Iowa has a zero setback and they are welcoming with open arms their third wind farm. Wow, what a way to bring property tax relief to property owners. Do you think with a zero setback that means they would construct a turbine next to a house…no, even with a zero setback, these companies, like Invenergy, want to work with the landowners to be a good neighbor and not to piss the landowners off. They know without us they don’t have a project.

I sure hope that those 483 individuals that signed that letter are willing to pay our property taxes when they double.

The revenue is going to have to come from somewhere for the county, and don’t say it can’t happen. Just ask our neighbors across the Missouri River how much their property taxes are.

Where do the concerned citizens of Ida County think the funding comes from for public schools? More funding equals higher wages to teachers, which equals better quality teachers. The second big-

gest expense to a local public school is transportation; irst is salaries. Sure would be nice to have a way to offset those expenses with more revenue.

Thirty- ive decibels at the property line…huh, wonder what’s coming next? Wonder if the farmers that signed that letter have any grain bins? I farm and have grain bins with fans on them. How do we keep them from exceeding 35 decibels at the property line, or even our combines, tractors and lawnmowers? How do we keep them below 35 decibels at the property line? Oh, they just want to keep the wind turbines at 35 decibels; yeah right. Who would want to open that can of worms?

Thirty- ive decibels is the average noise of a public library, which one of our supervisors wouldn’t know because he chooses not to support our local libraries. That same supervisor is also against wind energy. It’s kind of funny though that he has a windmill on his property. I guess I would ask since he is against more windmills for the county that maybe he should donate the income that his wind turbine generates to charity, and he could start with the public library.

If the “Concerned Citizens of Ida County” want those types of rules and noise ordinances, why don’t they just move to town and they can have their rules and regulations? That way, they don’t have to worry about someone coming to town to grind feed on Main Street.

That’s why the county’s farmground is zoned agricultural so we can have the dust, noises and smells that go with raising our nation’s food supply. Wonder what’s next for rules and regulations in the county? I mean how do we stop our dust at the property line, or how do we stop the manure smell at our property line? Just what America needs are more rules and regulations.

A hundred years ago, almost every acreage had a windmill.

So, that would equal approximately four windmills per section. That windmill was used to pump their water, just like the wind turbines today. They produce electricity, which in turn the electricity pumps our water. Both types of windmills harvested free wind to do this job.

Some people say the turbines are getting larger. Of course they are bigger. Do any of us have bigger combines and heads than we used to? Or bigger tractors, cars, pickups, SUV’s than we used to? Are any of our televisions bigger than they used to be? Our cell phones are bigger now than they were 10 years ago. Some say our computers are smaller, maybe the guts of it are, but every computer screen that I have seen is getting bigger.

Some people say the turbines are too loud or noisy.

Well, what I can tell you is that I have three boys at home and you know what I hear a

lot of…….farting, yes, imagine that. I hear a lot of farting from three boys and you know what? Sometimes you just have to tighten up your big boy panties and take it. Maybe I should go to the planning and zoning board and see if they could put a noise ordinance of 35 decibels at the room line on them.

If given the choice, I wonder if, back in 1986, the folks that lived near and around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant of Russia would’ve chosen to be living next to a wind turbine farm instead? We all know the story of what happened. The long-lived radiation surrounding Chernobyl won’t be safe for human habitation for at least 20,000 years. Maybe you need one closer to home. Then how about the tunnels and caves at the Hanford nuclear reservation in Richland, Wash., that houses the largest supply of nuclear waste in the country.

On May 9, one of those tunnels collapsed, causing absolute panic and a very serious emergency situation.

Luckily we are told no radiation leaked out. Eight thousand people and the cost of more than $100 billion are working to bury the nuclear waste that was used to produce the atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki. This project will take till the year 2060. And, the government isn’t sure how to handle this nuclear waste; that is why they are putting it on trains and shoving it in tunnels and caves.

Who would ever want to live near a nuclear power plant or any nuclear waste of that matter? But, one wonders if the people of Washington and surrounding states would feel safer living next to a wind farm. I sure would. But history never repeats itself….right?

At least we still have coal ired electric plants and the best guess is that we have a 500-year supply of coal. So, let’s burn it up. So we can all die of lung cancer from the poisonous emissions polluting our air.

So, let’s face it, if you are alive today and reading this letter, you are addicted to electricity. So I ask why not use a clean, renewable source of energy/electricity that comes from wind turbines.

I just can’t believe 483 “Concerned Citizens of Ida County” want to put so many rules and regulations on this project to get them to leave. Why not leave all the rules and setbacks the same as phase one; that way, all the county’s landowners have the same opportunities? If you want windmills, sign up; if you don’t want windmills, don’t sign up; it’s that simple. Don’t over- regulate them so they leave. I mean, can’t the supervisors just vote on this matter and end this BS? And furthermore, don’t any of these people have anything more to worry about than these windmills?

DNR launches new, locally led water quality monitoring program The DNR is launching a new, locally led volunteer water monitoring program to help Iowans better understand their local water quality.

“Volunteer water monitoring is best able to inform local water quality goals if the decision-making and coordination is locally-led,” said Steve Konrady with the DNR’s Water Quality Bureau. “We can help interested communities, watersheds, counties, and regions get started and have an opportunity to take ownership and derive more

value from their locally-led volunteer water monitoring programs.”

While volunteer water monitoring has been a component of the DNR since 1998, this program will shift to a locally led focus to better serve partner communities, organizations and citizens.

The DNR will provide locally led project leaders with training if needed, and then local volunteers will get trained by and work with those leaders on sampling coordination and data reporting.

The DNR recommends that volunteers submit data collected through these projects to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Water Quality eXchange (WQX), which already houses much of Iowa’s previous volunteer monitoring data along with U.S. Geological Survey and other data sources.

Iowans interested in starting their own water monitoring effort locally can visit the volunteer water monitoring site for more information.

Riessen leads reins at Morningside Healthcare Todd Riessen of Battle Creek has been the administrator at Morningside Healthcare Community (MHC) since late April.

Riessen said, “This is my irst position as an administrator. I worked at Willow Dale Wellness Village in Battle Creek for 11 and-a-half years. I worked my way up from maintenance, housekeeping, laundry management, procurement and human resources while taking online classes.”

What led Riessen to becoming a nursing home administrator? He said, “I like the healthcare setting. It’s a

necessity in life, and I want to be a part of making peoples’ lives better. I wanted to do more.”

Riessen’s education background includes degrees from the University of Phoenix for nursing home administration and senior care and Iowa Lakes Community College for environmental studies.

“Right now, Morningside Healthcare Community is a work in progress. We are in a rebuilding stage with a lot of new and younger staff. A goal is to get a solid CNA/nursing crew to provide quality care for our residents and their families. MHC wants to be a

part of the community. Looking to the future, I believe there are good things on the horizon for Morningside,” Riessen said.

“I am happy to be here. It is a big change; it’s different sitting on this side of the desk. I’m truly excited about the future and possibilities Morningside Healthcare Community has,” Riessen said.

Riessen has lived most of his life in Battle Creek. He and his wife, Tracy, have been married 17 years and are the parents of four children: Clint, Emilee and Hanna Barry, and Olivia Riessen.

Approximately one out of three people in America will develop shingles during their lifetime and nearly one million Americans experience the condition each year. As you get older, you are more likely to get the disease.

Nearly half of all shingles cases occur in people age 60 years or older, but even children can get shingles. Typically, people develop shingles only once in their lifetime.

However, a person can have a second or even a third episode.

Shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox.

After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus stays inactive in the body. For reasons that are not fully known, the virus can reactivate years later and cause shingles.

Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, causes a painful skin rash. It develops on one side of the face or body and forms blisters that typically scab over in seven to 10 days and clears up within two to four weeks.

Before the rash develops, people often have pain, itching or tingling in the area where the rash will develop.

This may happen anywhere from one to ive days before the rash appears.

Most commonly, the rash occurs in a single stripe around either the left or the right side of the body. In other cases, the rash occurs on one side of the face; and in rare cases, the rash may be more widespread and look similar to a chickenpox rash.

Other symptoms of shingles can include fever, headache, chills and upset stomach, and in some cases, shingles can affect the eye and cause loss of vision.

People have described pain from shingles as excruciating, aching, burning, stabbing and shock-like. For some people, the pain can last for months or even years after the rash

goes away.

This pain is called postherpetic neuralgia. It is the most common complication of shingles. This pain may also lead to depression, anxiety, dif iculty concentrating, loss of appetite and weight loss. Shingles can interfere with activities of daily living, like dressing, bathing, eating, cooking, shopping and travel.

Shingles cannot be passed from one person to another.

However, the virus that causes shingles can be spread from a person with active shingles to another person who has never had chickenpox nor been vaccinated against chickenpox. In such cases, the person exposed to the virus might develop chickenpox, but they would not develop shingles.

The virus is spread through direct contact with luid from the rash blisters caused by shingles. A person is not infectious before the blisters appear or once the rash has developed crusts. Shingles is less contagious than chickenpox, and the risk of a person with shingles spreading the virus is minimal if the rash is covered.

Vaccination is the only way to reduce your risk of shingles and postherpetic neuralgia.

The CDC recommends adults age 60 years or older receive a single dose of shingles vaccine. They should get the vaccine whether or not they recall having had chickenpox.

There is no maximum age for getting shingles vaccine.

Even if you have had shingles, you can still receive shingles vaccine to help prevent future occurrences of the disease. There is no speci ic length of time you must wait after having shingles before receiving shingles vaccine, but generally you should make sure the shingles rash has disappeared before getting vaccinated.

Talk with your healthcare provider if you have questions about the shingles vaccine.

New concussion management guidelines The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), in partnership with the Iowa Department of Education, is rolling out concussion management guidelines for Iowa schools.

These guidelines expand recommendations currently available through a community-based model for concussion management called REAP. REAP stands for Remove/Reduce, Educate, Adjust/Accommodate and Pace.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates as many as 3.8 million sports and recreation-related concussions occur in the U.S. each year. However, when concussions are properly recognized and managed within

The guidelines bring health care providers, school nurses, coaches, teachers and parents together to work as a team to manage a concussion. In the past, concussion was often viewed only through the lens of participation in school sports.

The guidelines recognize

that concussion can affect a student in the classroom and at home, and all parts of a student’s life should be taken into consideration and addressed by the student’s concussion management team.

School meal program guidelines The Iowa Department of Education, Bureau of Nutrition and Health Services, announced its policy for free and reduced price meals for children unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program and the Afterschool Care Snack Program.

State and local school of icials have adopted the following family size and income criteria for determining eligibility: Households may be eligible for free or reduced price meal bene its one of four ways listed below.

1. Households whose income is at or below the levels shown are eligible for reduced price meals or free meals, if they complete an Application for Free and Reduced Price School Meals/Milk. Households may complete one application listing all children and return it to your child’s school. When completing an application, only the last four digits of the social security number of the household’s primary wage earner or another adult household member is needed.

2. Food Assistance households, children receiving bene its under the Family Investment Program (FIP) and children in other speci ic DHS programs are eligible for free meals. Most children from Food Assistance and FIP households will be quali ied for free meals automatically.

These households will receive a letter from their children’s schools notifying them of their bene its. Households that receive a letter from the school need to do nothing more for their children to receive free meals. No further application is necessary. If any children were not listed on the notice of eligibility, the household should contact the school to have free meal bene its extended to them.

Households must contact the school if they choose to decline meal bene its.

3. Some Food Assistance and FIP households will receive a letter from the Department of Human Services (DHS) which will qualify the children listed on the letter for free meals. Parents must take this letter to the child’s school to receive free meals.

4. Food Assistance or FIP households receiving bene its that do not receive a letter from DHS must complete an application with the abbreviated information as indicated on the application and instructions, for their children to receive free meals. When the application lists an Assistance Program’s case number for any household member, eligibility for bene its is extended to all children in a household.

Eligibility from the previous year will continue within the same school for up to 30 operating days into the new school year. When the carryover period ends, unless the household is noti ied that their children are directly certi ied or the household submits an application that is approved, the children must pay full price for school meals and the school will not send a reminder or a notice of expired eligibility. An application cannot be approved unless complete eligibility information is submitted. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. If a family mem-

ber becomes unemployed the family should contact the school to complete an application. Households noti ied of their children’s eligibility must contact the school if the household chooses to decline the free meal bene its.

Foster children are eligible for free meal bene its. Some foster children will be quali ied for free meals automatically through the State Direct Certi ication process. Their host family will receive noti ication of these bene its. Families that receive this noti ication from the school need to do nothing more for their foster children to receive free meals. If a family has foster children living with them and does not receive noti ication and wishes to apply for such meals, instructions for making application for such children are contained on the application form. A foster child may be included as a member of the foster family if the foster family chooses to also apply for bene its for other children. Including children in foster care as household members may help other children in the household qualify for bene its. If the foster family is not eligible for free or reduced price meal bene its, it does not prevent a foster child from receiving bene its.

Special Supplement Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) participants may be eligible for free or reduced price meals based on a completed application.

When known by the school, households will be noti ied of any child eligible for free meals if the children are enrolled in the Head Start/Even Start Program or are considered homeless, migrant or runaway. If any children are not listed on the notice of eligibility, contact the school for assistance in receiving bene its. If households are dissatis ied with the application approval done by the of icials, they may make a formal appeal either orally or in writing to the school’s designated hearing of icial.

The policy statement on ile at the school contains an outline of the hearing procedure.

School of icials may verify the information in the application and that deliberate misrepresentation of information may subject the applicant to prosecution under applicable state or federal criminal statutes. Households should contact their local school for additional information.

There will be no discrimination against individuals with Limited English Pro iciency (LEP) in the school meal programs.
