Ida Grove City Council discusses leaf pickup service, employee benefits package ❚ by DEB LOGER

O-A/BC-IG, RV new staff

w ww.idacountycourier.com

The Ida Grove City Council discussed a possible leaf pickup service and an employee bene its package during its meeting Aug. 21.

At the council’s June 19 meeting, Justin Georg, owner of Ida County Sanitation, was asked to investigate costs to pick up compost and leaves in the fall.

Georg was at Monday’s meeting with information.

He said, “I’ve talked to equipment sales people for leaf collection equipment. A trailerstyle would cost $26,000 to $27,000. I’ve looked at renting a trailer but none are available. It’s a big cost for me with no guarantee that every resident would want the service.”

According to Georg’s igures, a rough price estimate for a one-time pickup of any amount of leaves that are raked into a windrow by the street or alley (wherever is easiest for the homeowner and accessible for the leaf collection truck) would be $12,640, which is $16 per house to do the entire town.

Ida County Sanitation would have to determine a pickup schedule and date(s). If a second collection time is needed, it would be $8,000 cheaper.

Georg told the council his sister lives in Omaha and has three tubs—one for garbage, one for compost and one for recyclables. Another scenario is to have homeowners purchase a compost tub. Weekly compost pickup would cost $11.75.

City Councilman Ryan Good-

man brought up an employee bene its package. He told the council, “While in the process of looking at wastewater applicants, I learned our bene its package, as a whole, is horrible. We have a fellow that wants family insurance, but the cost is prohibitive at $2,400 a month. I think we need to re-evaluate our employee health insurance and look at a cap on what an employee pays.”

Goodman’s motion to cap the employee cost of family health insurance at $300 every pay period failed four to zero following a lengthy discussion.

Councilman Scott Tomlinson said, “We need to know how many of our employees would take advantage of family coverage and what the actual cost would be to the city.

We can’t go broke doing this.

I’ve got to see the numbers.

If we cover that cost, what do we cut?”

“Are we catering to a person that isn’t even an employee yet? Are we doing a disincentive to our current employees? They couldn’t take advantage of a change until open enrollment,” said councilman Gregor Ernst.

During the discussion, it was noted that, in checking with other cities, family coverage in some of those communities was $1,200 per month.

The council approved hiring Shannon Hazelton as wastewater treatment plant operator on condition he passes the grade one and grade two (continued on page 2)

Kenealy answers question on performance auditorium O-A/BC-IG Superintendent Terry Kenealy answers a question that arose recently, pertaining to the OABCIG facilities’ project.

Question: The overall cost of the OABCIG facilities project at $16.4 million is a large number.

Why did the performance auditorium get included in this project, and how did they determine the size of the overall project?

A joint facilities committee that includes community members, staff members and board members from both school dis-

tricts began meeting to work on a joint facilities master plan in the late fall of 2015. The committee has continued to meet over the past two years. Last fall, the two school districts hired an architectural irm, HAILA ASP, Ltd., to work with the committee and the board members to develop more detailed information and cost estimates for the plan.

In addition, the OdeboltArthur Board hired Estes Construction - ICAT to complete a facility evaluation of the build-

ing in Odebolt, which hadn’t been done for a number of years.

With HAILA and Estes Construction, the two districts had architects, engineers and general contractors reviewing and evaluating the two buildings to better identify the facility needs of the two districts. That information was extremely helpful to the committee members and the board members in putting together their list of priorities.

There is no question that $16.4 million is a big number. (continued on page 2)

Partial eclipse: Don Poggensee of Ida Grove traveled to western Nebraska to get images of the grand total Solar Eclipse on a private ranch southeast of Alliance, Neb. Aug. 21.

Poggensee noted the area around Alliance had clouds the day of the eclipse. “The good Lord parted them, when we needed to see the progress of the eclipse,” said Poggensee.“The total eclipse was two minutes and 30 seconds. It went by so fast shooting with two cameras and taking a few seconds just to feel and see the total eclipse was a once in a lifetime experience that I will always remember. It went dark, birds stopped singing; it was if I was in a different world. It was hard to move, let alone to keep shooting and moving to the second camera on a tripod just a few feet away.” Poggensee shot 10 images of the eclipse using a Canon 5D Mark II with a 600mm lens on a tripod and about the same number of images with a handheld Canon 5 D Mark III and a 400 mm lens. Poggensee was able to shoot images from the start of the eclipse, during the total and the recovery of the sun at the end. The partial eclipse image above was closer to what Ida County residents were able to glimpse. While it wasn’t a total eclipse in western Iowa, the eclipse drew a great deal of interest locally. The Ida Grove Public Library handed out approximately 1,000 solar eclipse glasses to the public in the days leading up to and the day of the eclipse. This was the first total eclipse in parts of the United States in 40 years. The next total eclipse viewable in the United States will be in 2024.

. . . performance auditorium

(continued from front page) When the architects came back with the initial cost estimates for everything that had been added to the list by committee members, board members and staff members, the total cost was more than $31 million.

Two things happened at that point; the committee members and board members agreed that the overall cost of the project needed to be signi icantly reduced, and it wouldn’t be prudent to develop a bond issue for the maximum levy of $4.05 per thousand, which would have kept more items in the project, but the overall cost would still be too high. They agreed to a $2.70 maximum levy per thousand as allowed by statute, and that levy would raise $16.4 million in revenue.

The second thing the committee members and board members did was evaluate each item of the project that had been identi ied, to determine what to include and what not to include.

The performance auditorium was kept on the list of things to do by the majority of committee members and board members from both districts. In the initial cost estimates, the performance auditorium was priced at $7 million. When the architects went to work to help reduce the projected costs of the overall project, the estimated price of the performance auditorium dropped to $3.86 million, which brought the cost of that part of the project in line with what we had seen other districts spend on similar auditoriums.

Another part of the process

to consider is the impact of the cost of the project on the property tax levy and the individual property tax payer. The school districts are working with Piper Jaffray, as the iscal agent, to assist in determining the inancial capacity of the two school districts and the estimated property tax impact of the project on the school district’s property tax levy and the impact on the property owners in the school districts. The following is a summary of that impact, with some scenarios to help break it down.

The proposed project calls for the issuance of $16.4 million in general obligation bonds: Piper Jaffray has determined that this would result in a $2 net increase in the overall property tax levy to fund the project, due to the new district’s operational ef iciencies that will reduce the overall levy, beginning with the 2018-19 budget. The net increase to the levy could actually be lower than that, but that possibility is based on assumptions that we could not guarantee at this time.

The estimated cost for the building improvement for the Odebolt building totals $5,915,000, and the estimated cost for the building improvements for the high school building in Ida Grove totals $6,510,000. The estimated cost for the performance auditorium is $3,860,000.

• If an individual-owned property had an assessed value of $100,000, the annual additional property tax would be $104.18 or $8.68 per month for

the entire cost of the project.

What does each component cost the taxpayer?

• The cost of the high school renovations are 40 percent of the project or an estimated cost of $41.67 annually or $3.48 per month, based on $100,000 assessed value.

• The cost of the elementary/ middle school renovations are 36 percent of the project or an estimated cost of $37.50 annually or $3.13 per month, based on $100,000 assessed value.

• The cost of the performance auditorium is 24 percent of the project or an estimated cost of $25.00 annually or $2.08 per month, based on $100,000 assessed value.

The summary tax impact spreadsheet that Piper Jaffray developed for the project will be forwarded along with this document for your review. It is possible to calculate other values and impacts using this spreadsheet for residential, commercial and ag land. This spreadsheet will also be available on the school district website in a few days.

The second reading of an amendment to the city ordinance to prohibit vehicle parking in front yards was approved. A front yard is de ined as anywhere between the front of the house or other building and the street, except on a driveway. A corner lot is considered to have two front yards, one facing each street.

Grass or dirt areas are not considered as driveways. A driveway is de ined as a paved area designated for the purpose of parking a motor vehicle. Rock or gravel driveways with or without a curb are considered a valid driveway if installed prior to the effective date of the ordinance.

Exceptions are granted for the loading or unloading contents to or from a vehicle and building. The duration of the loading and unloading may not exceed four consecutive hours and is not permissible between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Unless a curb has been cut for the purpose of accessing a driveway, driving over a curb to park in the city right of way or front yard is prohibited.

Deputy Administrator Heather Sweeden asked if there was any provision in the ordinance that would allow parking on front yards during snow removal. She noted many residents park their vehicles on the parking during snowstorms, so they are off the street for snow removal. The council indicated,

FREE-WILL DONATION Men’s Club

no, it wasn’t covered under the ordinance.

The council intends to approve the ordinance on third reading at the Sept. 5 council meeting. The ordinance goes into effect upon publication.

Persons interested in commenting on the ordinance amendment can address their concerns at the Sept. 5 council meeting.

A discussion was held on raising dog licensing fees from the current $1 per dog to $5 for male dogs or a spayed female and $10 for a female dog and increasing the late fee from $5 to $10. The council directed City Administrator Marc Dennison to look at the wording of the proposed ordinance and to check with area towns to see what their licensing fees are.

After reviewing bids to recodify the city’s ordinances, the council voted to request a contract from Code Publishing Company in the amount of $8,943 and to request a hard deadline for completion of the codi ication process.

Dennison told the council he was going to talk to the Department of Natural Resources to see if the city could spread sludge from its wastewater plant on city-owned ground at the airport, since it’s in the lood plain.

City maintenance men Gerrod Sholty and Bob Lorenzen told the council it’s getting to be a challenge to do every four to six weeks. A couple loads have been taken to Schau’s.

Troy Hare had been allowing the city to spread the sludge on his land, but has asked for $2,400 for the city to dump

twice a month.

Dennison was also directed to research purchasing a dryer for getting rid of the wastewater sludge.

Ernst asked the council to wait on discussing airport rental rates and lease agreements, as he is researching what other airports charge for rental rates and what type of lease agreements they have.

In other business •After discussion, the council voted to seek sealed bids to sell the airport fuel tank and/or approximately 1,000 gallons of high-octane fuel in the tank.

•A motion was passed to hire Hemer’s Plumbing and Heating to ix the natural gas outdoor pool heater.

•The council approved purchasing a golf simulator for the rec center for $17,757.

Gary and Sharon Godbersen have agreed to reimburse the city for the cost.

•A motion was approved to send out request for quotes for a city engineering irm.

•Work on the back wall of the King Theatre is slated to begin when the ground dries up.

•The inal payment of $3,684 to RDG for the downtown revitalization project was held until the council inds out if recent rains caused any leaking.

•Liquor licenses were approved for Sportsman’s (Class C liquor and Sunday sales) and Shopko (Class B wine, Class C beer and Sunday sales).

•Councilman Doug Clough was absent.

•The next council meeting is Tuesday, Sept. 5, at 6 p.m.

Eclipse watchers: The Ida Grove Public Library was among more than 1,000 libraries nationally that participated in the solar eclipse Aug. 21. In the week leading up to the eclipse the library offered several public programs to bring attention to STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). On Aug. 21, the library hosted an eclipse viewing party.

Here, several youngsters view the partial eclipse seen in western Iowa using special viewing glasses. The library handed out approximately 1,000 free glasses in the days leading up to and the day of the eclipse. This was the first total eclipse in parts of the United States in 40 years. The next total eclipse viewable in the United States will be in 2024.

Water summary update shows improvement across much of Iowa Recent rains have improved conditions across most of the state, but 2 percent of Iowa is still experiencing extreme drought conditions, mostly in Clarke and Wapello counties.

The north half of Ida County is listed as abnormally dry while the south half is listed as being free of drought conditions.

In Sac County, three-fourths of the county is listed as either abnormally dry or in moderate drought. Only the southwest quarter of the county is listed as normal.

Released Aug. 24 and based on rainfall through Aug. 22, the monthly Water Summary Update shows dry areas extending from northwest to southeast Iowa, including signi icant areas of moderate drought. Through the irst three weeks of August, rain totals were as high as 9.51 inches at Guthrie Center, with totals of six inches or more widespread over much of northwest,

west central and southwest Iowa. This was also the coolest start to August since 2004.

“Recent rainfall has helped to alleviate concerns in some areas of Iowa, but drought conditions still remain across parts of south-central Iowa,” said Tim Hall, who coordinates DNR’s hydrology resources.

Substantial rainfall in the southwestern two-thirds of Iowa in the last two weeks has improved shallow groundwater conditions in northwest, central, and parts of southeast Iowa.

Shallow groundwater conditions in the Skunk and lower Des Moines River watersheds are still in a moderate drought classi ication, and parts of Buena Vista, Clay, O’Brien and Cherokee counties are still in slight drought.

For a thorough review of Iowa’s water resource trends, go to www.iowadnr.gov/watersummaryupdate.

The report is prepared by technical staff from Iowa DNR, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, IIHR—Hydroscience and Engineering, and the U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department.

Farming: Farming in Ida County in the early 1900s.

Out of the Past Forty years ago The Ida Grove Planning and Zoning Commission has approved a zoning change on three Moorehead Avenue lots that will be the new home of First State Bank of Battle Creek. The three lots are being rezoned for commercial use.

The three lots are located just north of the Odebolt Creek bridge.

The outside structure of the old Evangelical Free Church in Arthur is coming down. There isn’t much known about the early church. The old records, which were in Swedish, are gone and there doesn’t seem to be any old church scrapbooks. The church has a history that dates back before 1885. The building remained in the country until 1943 when it was moved to town. A new brick building was built in 1973.

Thirty years ago The Ida County Fair Board set the dates for the 50th anniversary fair for Aug. 3-7, 1988 during its meeting Aug. 25. New fair board members present were Dr. Don Dutler of Holstein, John Burk of Ida

Grove and Frank and Jeanette Drevs of Holstein. The fair board will lose two members.

The resignation of Jeanette Holmes of Battle Creek was accepted. Bruce Schmidt attended the last meeting of his expiring term.

Iowa DOT of icials made a presentation at an open meeting concerning the proposed widening of Highways 59 and 175 through Ida Grove. Of icials were available for individual discussions concerning sections of the plan. There were 53 people present at the meeting.

Twenty years ago Horn Memorial Hospital in Ida Grove is now providing bone densitometry services.

Bone densitometry measurement is a simple procedure, which provides physicians with an accurate assessment of patient bone health.

Gently used shoes will be distributed to micro-enterprise programs that create jobs in Haiti, Honduras and other developing nations.

The resulting revenue will help fund the free distribution of new shoes in the U.S., Canada and developing nations around the world.

that approximately 900 million people live on less than $1.90 per day. Four hundred million are children. Millions of these children don’t have access to adequate footwear resulting in signi icant rami ications for their health and well-being.

Tens of millions are at risk of infection from soil-transmitted parasitic diseases like hookworm that can cause lasting suffering and lifelong debilitation. Meanwhile many adults don’t have access to sustainable employment.

In Haiti for example, more than two-thirds of the labor force don’t have jobs.

Law commission hears reports on policy updates, jail inspec on, arrests ❚ by DEB LOGER

Ida County Sheriff Wade Harriman reported on policy updates, the annual jail inspection and arrests during the Ida County Public Safety and Communications Commission meeting Aug. 15 in Ida Grove.

Harriman reported he’s hired Lexipol to update the law enforcement and corrections policies. He said, “The last time we updated our policies was in 2004, and it’s a very lengthy process. We don’t have the time or knowledge to do policies for law enforcement. The laws and rulings on them are constantly changing. It is a 12-week process, but when Lexipol is done, they will have developed statespeci ic, legally-defensible policies. They should be inished around Thanksgiving.”

According to Harriman, they will automatically receive updates. He noted deputies would get an email any time there is a change. They must read the policy change and then sign off that they have read it. Staff will also receive emails with policy questions they must answer.

“Every time we get an email on a change or test questions, it’s documented that we were informed about the change and that we acknowledge we’ve read it,” said Harriman.

During the jail report, Harriman reported the state jail inspector conducted his annual inspection July 11, and the county had no negative issues in the report (see separate story).

Arrests highlighted: June 4—a male and female from California were arrested and charged with possession with intent to deliver meth, marijuana and ecstasy; June 11—an Ida Grove woman was arrested and charged with possession of meth; June 26—a Schaller woman was arrested and charged with possession of meth, marijuana and drug paraphernalia; July 12—Ida Grove woman was charged with two counts of unauthorized use of a credit card; July 13—a Holstein man was arrested for a Galva incident and charged with theft and drug charges and July 27—two Schaller individuals were charged following a traf ic stop for possession with intent to deliver meth, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Harriman reported a Colorado man arrested in February was sentenced to prison Aug. 17 on drug charges. The second individual’s case is coming up soon. “We seized their vehicle and, once the case is done and we get the title, we will sell it. We have three vehicles with clear titles that we need to get sold next month. The vehicles will be sold through sealed bids with the right to refuse.

Ida County gets 85 percent of the sale price to go into its con iscated fund, the state of Iowa gets 10 percent and the county attorney’s of ice gets 5 percent.”

In other business, Harriman reviewed statistics for May, June and July; reported the communications center remodel is great; the new air conditioning units are working great and Rebecca Schmidt was hired as a dispatcher/jailer July 9.

Under new business, Harriman reported the head gasket went out of his Crown Vic and he’s opted not to get it repaired. A 2017 Dodge Charger has been purchased for $24,607. Once the equipment is installed in the new vehicle, Deputy Brady Van Egdom will get it and Harriman will use Van Egdom’s old vehicle.

Harriman told the commission members he is using Mercy Medical Center for all physicals. “It’s a thorough exam that gives us a great base line. The cost is $265 and includes strength tests and a drug screening panel.”

Adam Henderson, State Farm

Insurance, has agreed to sponsor the DARE program.

The next meeting is Sept. 19 in Arthur.

Emergency Management Commission The Ida County Emergency Management Commission approved emergency management plan updates.

Ida County EMC Coordinator Ed Sohm discussed ALS (advanced life support) system transfers.

“The Battle Creek and Ida Grove ambulance services have hired nurses and paramedics to cover ALS transfers.

We currently have 11 nurses and paramedics signed up. If we need someone for an ALS transfer, we send out a text that we need someone for an ALS transfer. We give them 10 minutes to call in; the irst one that calls in gets the call. Since we started in mid-July, we’ve had eight or so ALS calls. There was one that we never got a nurse or paramedic to call in. Horn Memorial Hospital has been extremely helpful in making this project work.

“We had two today. The second one, the helicopter was called but couldn’t ly, due to the rain. We needed to get to Sioux City with advanced care, so a nurse who had signed up as an ALS provider went in the ambulance.”

Sohm also discussed the 2017 Emergency Management Grant ($78 lower than anticipated), training exercises and the mobile communication vehicle.

A new requirement for anyone (doctor’s clinics, hospital, etc.) who bills Medicare/ Medicaid through CMS is to conduct an exercise before the end of the year. Jared Johnson is leading the way on this exercise later this fall.

Sohm said he hasn’t done anything about replacing the mobile communications vehicle. He said Cherokee has a pretty good one, and Buena Vista and Woodbury counties have great ones. “I’m thinking about not getting anything and using a neighboring vehicle, if needed.”

E-9-1-1 Service Board Ida County E9-1-1 Service Board Director Sohm discussed a land ill tower. Present were Mary Gross (representing Holstein), Ida Grove Mayor Devlun Whiteing and Battle Creek Mayor Lloyd “Doc” Holmes. Absent were Arthur Mayor Randy Fineran, Galva Mayor Stan Na-

ding, Supervisor Rhett Leonard and Galva Township Fire Board member Craig Peterson.

Sohm said, “I’ve talked about putting a tower at the land ill for a few years. When we went to narrow-band, we lost signi icant range, things that used to work don’t. We found out at the Battle Creek ireworks that the iremen couldn’t use their walkie-talkies. There is also trouble communicating with Holstein ire and EMS. We need to push this.”

According to Sohm, the state is trying to get mobile coverage statewide. They state they can cover 95 percent of every county in Iowa. “They do have 95 percent of Ida County.

What’s not covered is downtown Galva, Arthur, the north half of Ida Grove, Highway 175 from Ida Grove to Arthur and Highway 59 north to Hoffmans,” said Sohm.

“I told the state guy their system is worthless to us as a primary system. He wanted to know why. I told him you’re missing half of Ida Grove, all of Arthur and parts of Galva.

Wade asked me what to do about radios in his cars as he replaces cars? In order for the state-wide system to work in the patrol cars, he’d have to install a $27,000, in-car repeater in every vehicle. The sheriff’s department has 10 vehicles.”

Sohm said a new tower at the land ill would cost $250,000, plus the cost of a new ire base.

According to Sohm, the current ire base is eight to nine years old, and the sheriff’s repeater is 13 years old. There is a suitable spot next to the land ill building for a tower.

Sohm said, “I’d like to go the next step forward to pursue purchasing and installing a 300-/350-foot self-supporting tower and put whatever antennas on it right away. Fire would have the top spot and then the sheriff’s department. This is something I’d hire a consultant for, to guide me through the process.”

Another project that Sohm says needs to be considered is a new radio console in the communications center. Sohm said they no longer make parts for the radio console. If it needs repairs, they buy used parts. He told the board that is a $250,000 project. A new ire base would also cost something. The last sheriff’s repeater purchased was $27,000 13 years ago. The irebox was also about $27,000.

Fall Master Gardener training available The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Master Gardener program will hold its core training sessions this fall for individuals interested in becoming Master Gardeners.

ISU Extension and Outreach Ida County will host a training session.

The Master Gardener program is looking for people who are passionate about volunteering and gardening. No previous garden knowledge is required.

The program equips volunteers to grow in knowledge about gardening best practices, contribute produce to food banks to enhance food security and make Iowa’s fairgrounds and main streets beautiful.

The ISU Extension and Outreach Ida County of ice will hold training sessions every Tuesday beginning Sept. 19 through Nov. 14 at the county of ice located in Ida Grove. The training will be held from 6:309:30 p.m. each evening. There will also be a training session held on the Iowa State University campus on Saturday, Oct. 7 and 21.

“Master Gardeners provide information and education to Iowans,” said Susan DeBlieck, ISU Extension and Outreach Master Gardener assistant coordinator. “They are excellent community resources who help make the state a better place to live.”

Those interested in the course can ind more information and apply at https://mastergardenerhours.hort.iastate. edu/application-form.php or contact Kandice at the Ida County Of ice. Applications for

the Master Gardener Program are due by Sept. 1 to participate in 40 hours of Master Gardener training.

After completing the course, Master Gardener trainees start their work as volunteers within the community, volunteering 20 hours per year while building their gardening know-how by participating in 10 hours of continuing education.

Individuals not interested in

becoming a Master Gardener volunteer can still receive training. The ProHort program allows individuals to gain knowledge while earning a certi icate of completion.

Master Gardeners donated nearly 120,000 volunteer hours during 2016, providing the equivalent of $2.6 million of labor to help beautify Iowa and address ongoing food security issues.

Iowa’s health care ranks second best Iowa was named 2017’s second best state for health care in a new study from personal inance website, WalletHub.com.

This ranking is the latest in a number of recent reports giving Iowa high marks for health care including: •Second highest Medicaid patient satisfaction •Fifth best state for overall child well-being •Seventh best state for mental health care •Outpaced nation in overall well-being at twice the national average In order to determine where Americans receive the highestquality services at the best prices, WalletHub analysts compared all 50 states and Washington, D.C., across 35 measures of cost, accessibility and outcome. Some of Iowa’s scores are: ·First most hospital beds per capita ·Sixth percentage of insured adults (18-64) ·Tenth percentage of insured children (0-17) ·Second lowest infant mortality rate.

Comprehensive activity: Last spring, the students in Carol Sadler’s environmental science classes participated in a new project as a comprehensive activity to pull together their classroom learning from the year. Students explored bunk gardens, researched plants that would grow well in a bunk garden, visited a greenhouse, tested soil composition and planted a variety of fruits, vegetables and flowers for the tenants at Golden Horizons Assisted Living in Ida Grove. After the plants were growing, students individually collected data and interpreted that data in a presentation for their class. The project was made possible by the following donors who helped offset the cost of this new way of learning: United Bank of Iowa, First State Bank, Prairie Pedlar, Matt Tietsort, Odebolt Lumber, Randy Fineran and Brian Streed family. Some of the students and the tenants who benefitted from the produce from the garden are pictured here.

Willow Dale celebrates Assisted Living Week

Million miles: Holstein rural route mail carrier August Hanson recently received a Million Mile Safe Driver Award for achieving 30 years of driving experience without a single at-fault accident. The achievement “takes considerable and consistent dedication to safe driving practices and is one of the most difficult awards to obtain in the Postal Service. The award not only represents a distinguished history of safe driving, it also gives a driver and his or her family one million reasons to smile for returning home uninjured at the end of each day.” Presenting the award is Darcie Renze, Holstein postmaster.

Horn Hospice offers “Growth A er Loss” program in Ida Grove Horn Memorial Hospice is now accepting registration for “Growth After Loss,” a grief support group and educational program designed to help individuals work through the grieving process. Losing a loved one is never easy, but with the understanding and support of caring individuals, healing is possible.

Horn Hospice can help you work through the grieving process with others who have experienced loss. In small groups facilitated by professionals, participants

can listen and share in an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding.

The sessions will begin Sept, 28 and run for six consecutive Thursdays. The group will meet in the Horn Memorial Hospital Conference Center from 5-7 p.m.

Pre-registration is appreciated. To pre-register or for more information regarding the program content, contact Cindy Mildenstein, RN, community health director, or Micki Fischer, RN at 3647311.

A weeklong celebration kicks off Sunday, Sept. 10, and Willow Dale Independent and Assisted Living is joining tens of thousands of assisted living communities across the country for the festivities. It’s National Assisted Living Week® through Saturday, Sept. 16, and Willow Dale is honoring this year’s theme, “Family is Forever.”

The “Family is Forever” theme for National Assisted Living Week was inspired by a quote from the famed poet Maya Angelou: “Family isn’t always blood; it’s the people in your life who want you in theirs: the ones who accept you for who you are, the ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what.”

National Assisted Living Week was created by the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) in 1995 to recognize the role of assisted living in caring for America’s seniors and individuals with disabilities. The annual observance inspires assisted living communities around the country to offer a variety of events and activities to celebrate the individuals they serve, as well as to help educate members of the public about this distinct aspect of long term care.

“We encourage members of the community to come visit Willow Dale during National Assisted Living Week,” said Lin Jensen, assisted liv-

SPORTS Falcon linemen make the difference in win over Westwood

Interception return: Ridge View’s Jaxon Franken (11) returns the football after intercepting an Alta-Aurelia pass Friday. Looking for someone to block is Dylan Wood (7). Franken’s theft gave the Raptors good field position to score one of their seven touchdowns in a 49-22 victory over the Warriors.

Raptors score 49 points in opener When a new coach takes over a team and brings in a new offense it can take some time for the players to adjust to and learn the new system, but Ridge View didn’t show any signs of confusion as they rolled to a season opening 4922 non-district football win over Alta-Aurelia Friday.

“I thought we played a great game,” noted Raptor coach Dale Tokheim. “We stuck to our game plan and the boys executed it very well in all phases of the game.”

Before the season started Tokheim predicted the team’s offensive line would be a big factor in the team’s success in 2017. That prediction came true Friday.

“Our offensive line did an outstanding job and our depth really helped us out,” noted Tokheim. “We had six offensive lineman rotate; Ezra Miller, Andrew Brockman, Karlo Weldon, Trent Moeller, Collin Cuthrell and Nick Gisch deserve a lot of credit. We also rotated them on the D-line along with Jakob Kai. “I thought we were the fresher team and that helped us stay more physical in the second half. We also rotated tight ends, wingbacks and fullbacks.”

Ridge View’s ability to rotate in the back ield helped the team compile 216 yards on the ground on 43 carries.

Seven backs carried the ball for the Raptors. Senior Jake Mitchell picked up 112 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries. Jake Kliegl pounded the middle for 81 yards and one touchdown on 14 carries.

“Our backs are learning the nuisances of this offense and they ran well,” said Tokheim.

“Jake Tokheim (quarterback) had a nice game. He carries out his fakes well and does the little things that set up the passing game. He just needs to set his feet and throw the ball because he missed some guys who were wide open and hopefully that comes with more reps.”

Jake Tokheim completed three of seven passes for 94 yards and one touchdown.

Coach Tokheim also noted the play of the Raptors’ special teams. “They were fabulous. Mitchell and Kevin McGuire are fast and scary to kick to.”

Ridge View’s special teams got the game off to a good start when Mitchell returned

the game’s opening kickoff to A-A’s two-yard line. Two plays later Tokheim scored from two yards out on a quarterback sneak. Jaxon Franken added the PAT kick to give Ridge View a 7-0 lead at the 11:07 mark of the irst quarter.

A-A overcame the shock of Ridge View’s opening surge by going on a 57-yard drive that resulted in a one-yard touchdown run at 5:42 of the irst quarter. The PAT kick was no good.

Ridge View answered the Warrior score on its next possession with an 80-yard drive that was capped by Tokheim’s nine-yard run with 1:30 left in the opening quarter. The two-point pass attempt was incomplete.

After falling behind 13-6, A-A went on a 52-yard drive to take its only lead of the game.

The Warriors went up 14-13 on a four-yard pass and twopoint run about 35 seconds into the second quarter.

Ridge View took control of the game by scoring the next 30 points. The run began with Mitchell’s ive-yard carry and Tokhiem’s two-point run with 3:37 to go in the irst half.

Ridge View had a short ield to work with on the scoring drive thanks to Franken’s interception and return to A-A’s 30-yard line.

With just under one minute left in the irst half, Kliegl scored on a three-yard run.

Mitchell ran for the two-point conversion. The key play in the drive was a 56-yard pass play from Tokheim to McGuire.

Ridge View went into halftime with a 29-14 advantage.

Ridge View kicked off to start the second half. The Raptors caught the Warriors off guard with an onside kick, which was recovered by Ridge View’s Austin Degen at A-A’s 41-yard line. From there Ridge View moved the ball down ield and eventually scored on a nine-yard pass from Tokheim to Lance Else at the 7:41 mark of the third quarter to give Ridge View a 35-14 lead. The two-point pass attempt was incomplete.

Ridge View’s 30-point run was capped by McGuire’s 60yard punt return for six points at the 10:44 mark of the fourth quarter. Franken’s two-point run stretched Ridge View’s lead to 43-14.

A-A got on the scoreboard one more time on a three-yard run and two-point conversion

with 8:31 to play in the game.

Ridge View’s Mitchell showed his speed once more by running past A-A’s defense for a 52-yard scoring run at 6:55 of the fourth quarter. The two-point run was no good.

The score made the inal tally 49-22.

“It was just a great team effort and I am so proud of these guys,” noted coach Tokheim. “It was an emotional night for me and I am just so happy to be back on the football ield leading this great coaching staff and these ine young men.”

Ridge View will play O-A/ BC-IG in Ida Grove this Friday at 7 p.m.

Football games are often won or lost at the line of scrimmage. O-A/BC-IG coach Larry Allen noted the play of his linemen in the season opening 21-6 conquest of non-district foe Westwood at Olsen Stadium in Sioux City Saturday.

“We played more physical than Westwood upfront,” noted Allen. “After last year (45-6 loss to Westwood) we knew we had to stop their dive play. Coach Travis Chizek (Falcon assistant coach) had a plan and our kids executed it nearly lawless.

“We played sound, very unsel ish football. The guys upfront had to sacri ice themselves and everybody did their job on nearly every play.”

Allen added the offensive line also did a nice job of paving the way for running back Chase Devitt who rushed for 113 yards on 22 carries or 5.1 yards per carry. Devitt also found the end zone twice.

“We gave Devitt some holes and he also made some nice moves,” said Allen.

Devitt scored O-A/BC-IG’s irst two touchdowns. He opened the scoring with a 41yard run with 47 seconds to play in the irst quarter and added a seven-yard run at the 9:15 mark of the third quarter.

The Falcons came up short on their try for two-points on the irst score, but made good on a two-point run by quarterback Kaden Ladwig on the second score.

The Falcons went up 21-0 with a 1:20 to go in the game when Jake Nieman scored on a nine-yard run. William Grote kicked the PAT. Westwood avoided the shutout by scoring on a oneyard run with 36 seconds left in the game. The score was set up by a 57-yard pass completion that took the ball to the Falcon one-yard line.

Overall, Allen was pleased with the season opening performance by his club.

“The kids played with emotion and excitement and that was good to see. We came out of the game injury free, which

The coach added his club has some things to work on, but that is pretty typical for a irst game.

“We’ve got some things to igure out, but it is better to igure those things out after a win than a loss,” said Allen.

“We had some penalties we need to cleanup and we had some issues with substitution patterns where we didn’t get kids rotated in and out like we should.

“Those things (penalties, substitutions) are things we can correct. As coaches we need to get the kids better prepared for those types of things and we need a better plan.

“Offensively, the thing we need to work on is when a ball is thrown the receivers need to pull it in. We had three or four balls that should have been caught; we’ll get that straightened out. Sometimes you have to play that irst game to ind out what you do well and what you don’t do well.”

O-A/BC-IG will host rival Ridge View this Friday in Ida Grove at 7 p.m. Ridge View opened the season with a 4922 win over Alta-Aurelia.

Ryen: Ida Grove native Trever Ryen will take to the Iowa State football field in Ames this Saturday for his senior season when the Cyclones open against Northern Iowa. Game time is 7 p.m. Ryen was a First-Team All-Big 12 by ESPN and Athlon Sports as a punt returner and First-Team Academic All-Big 12 in 2016. He is one of the nation’s best punt returners, averaging 16.5 yards per return (12 returns), which is the third-best average in school history. Ryen’s 2016 average would have led the league and ranked high nationally, but barely missed the minimum to qualify for national rankings. Ryen led the Big 12 with six punt returns of 25 yards or longer; was second on the team in receptions (37) and fourth in receiving yards (388) in 2016.

Ridge View opened the 2017 volleyball season with a 3-1 setback to non-conference opponent South Central Calhoun County in Schaller Aug. 20. Game scores were 25-16, 12-25, 25-20, 25-17.

Coach Monica Bloyer noted the traditional season opener against So. Cal. is always a tough first match because So. Cal. has such a strong program.

“However, it’s a good measure of where we are at and what we need to do to prepare for the upcoming weeks in conference play,” noted Bloyer. “The girls came out with a lot of fire for our first home match. Our passing was consistent for the most part, but found a few holes defensively. We really struggled to pick up on their setter dumps. I think the setter had more kills than any of their hitters.”

Ridge View’s Paige Todd

collected 11 kills and was 12 of 12 from the serve line.

“Todd had an outstanding match at the net,” said Bloyer. “She’s playing much more aggressively than this time last year. I was also impressed with our right side defense out of Madeline Else and Erin Johnson, which is something we typically struggle with.

“We are looking to learn from this match and fine tune a few things to be ready for Kingsley-Pierson (Tuesday, Aug. 29).”

Ridge View stats Hitting—.216 kill efficiency, 34 kills, (Paige Todd, 11 kills; Grace Chance, 6 kills).

Assists—33 (Madeline Else, 26). Digs—50 (Madeline Else, 14; Kinzey Dutler, 9; Erin Johnson, 9). Blocks— 12 (Beth Pickhinke, 4; Madeline Else, 3). Serves—89%, 8 aces (Emerson Else, 2; Madeline Else, 2)

On a beautiful spring day in 1922, a very pregnant Katherine Sharkey was taking a walk. As she observed the wild roses alongside her path, she knew what she would name her child if blessed with a daughter.

They lived near Arthur, then moved to their farm southwest of Schaller in 1956. They were blessed with three children. In 1974, they moved south of Galva before retiring to Ida Grove in 1987.

Rose continued to live there until her mobility forced her to move to assisted living in 2013. The inal month of her life was spent at Eventide in Denison. The last surviving member of the James Sharkey family entered into heaven Aug. 18, 2017.

She lived to be the oldest of the entire family.

Rose enjoyed country living. She was a hardworking farm wife, helping with farm chores, raising chickens and gardening. She enjoyed neighborhood parties and family activities.

There was always time for coffee and playing with the grandchildren. Frank and Rose took many trips to various states and visited the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. She enjoyed music her entire life and was an avid doll collector.

Left to cherish her memory are her children: Roslyn “Dolly” (Urban) Tripp of Denison, Stanley (friend, Linda) Crum of Holstein, Donna (Jim) Kay of Holstein, Paul (Carolee) Franzkowiak of Schaller and Mark (MaryLou) Franzkowiak of Schaller; two daughters-in-law: Lois Crum of Schaller and Marsha Crum of Denison; 13 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren, with two more arriving this fall; 10 great-greatgrandchildren, and a brother-in-law, George (Darlene) Franzkowiak of Schaller.

Rose was preceded in death by her husband, Frank (2009); her sons, Roger Crum and Steven V. Crum (a casualty of the Vietnam War); two grandsons, Nathan Tripp and Steven E. Crum; a great-grandson and a great-great-grandson.

Voters choose new license plate design Travis K. Fischer 0LG $PHULFD 3XEOLVKLQJ

Iowa’s new license plate design has been chosen.

Plans to update the state’s license plate rolled out earlier this month as three potential designs were unveiled at the Iowa State Fair, leaving WKH ÀQDO FKRLFH XS WR WKH SHRSOH DV they voted for a winner.

Voting began in person at the Iowa State Fair as soon as the new designs were revealed. 26,541 votes were cast at the fair, giving “City and Country Reboot� an early lead with 10,493 votes, followed by “The Great Wide Open� with 8,643 votes and “Flying Our Colors� coming in third with 7,405 votes.

Voting increased tenfold once the contest was put online for the greater Iowa population to chime in. “We were getting votes at a rate of 10,000 an hour,� said Iowa Department of Transportation Director Mark Lowe.

priority for a license plate design so that law enforcement can clearly and accurately identify plate numbers.

Full color plate designs are with embossed plate numbers, but that requires an additional manufacturing cost that Iowa does not do.

The state also offers a variety of custom plate design options which may be adversely affected by a more elaborate background. “I think one of the things that we NQHZ ZRXOG EH GLIĂ€FXOW DQG , WKLQN has worked through over time, is people’s expectations of what the license plates would contain,â€? said Lowe. “People imagined full color SODWH GHVLJQV DQG ZH KDG VSHFLĂ€F limitations that kept us from going that route.â€?

The new plate design will be slowly phased in over the next decade, replacing current plates as they reach the end of their ten year life cycle. For those that don’t want to wait, new plates can be purchased at the county treasurer for $5 once the new design is available. The release of the new design is planned for some time in 2018, but no exact release date has been set. ´,¡P VXUH ZH¡OO SXW D ÀQDO SRLQW on that in the next few weeks,� said Lowe.

Jodi, Tom & Erin Nielsen 35-1t/cra* THANK YOU: I had hoped that seeing the new hospital inpatient rooms would be as a result of visiting someone there & not being a patient myself! I must say, however, that being in hospital was made bearable by so many caring people. The doctors, nursing staff & all who assisted me while at Horn treated me with the utmost care & concern. There are too many to mention by name, but I also want everyone to know I appreciated the flowers, cards, gifts, goodies, phone calls & visits. A special thanks to brother-inlaw, Dan Ladwig, who got me to the hospital & helped me work through the admitting process. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never know how much all of this meant to me!

THANK YOU: First & foremost, you never realize how lucky you are when there is a disaster like ours & all your friends & family come together to support you & help in any way possible. Without the quick response of our local fire departments, we would have lost way more than we did.

Thank you is such a little word, but we cannot say it enough to everyone who came to our aid in the time of our disaster. Thank you to Ida Grove, Arthur, Battle Creek, Odebolt & Holstein Fire Departments. Thank you to all those men & women who volunteer their time away from their families to be part of the fire departments.

On Aug. 21, Jerry Lee Fallmer, 63, of Holstein was arrested on an outstanding Ida County warrant for possession of images of children engaging in sex acts. The charge was iled following an investigation that began in March 2017. The Ida County Sheriff’s Of ice and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation investigated the case. Fallmer was transported to the Ida County jail where he was held overnight. He was released the following day after appearing before the magistrate.

On Aug. 22, Randall Dean Hargroves, 55, of Holstein was arrested on an outstand-

ing Ida County warrant for violation of the Holstein city ordinance as it pertains to animals running at large. He was transported to the Ida County jail and later released after posting $300 bond.

New Iowa license plate design revealed The Iowa Department of Transportation announced that the public chose the City and County Reboot design to replace Iowa’s current county standard license plate.

Gov. Kim Reynolds, Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg and Iowa DOT Director Mark Lowe revealed three potential plate designs at the start of the Iowa State Fair.

The public voted for their favorite design through an online poll and at the Iowa DOT’s state fair booth throughout the fair.

The City and Country Reboot design won the public vote with 113,299 of the poll’s 291,095 total votes.

There was a big push late in the Fair that brought Flying Our Colors to a close second with 110,352 votes. In third place was The Great Wide Open, which tallied 67,444 votes.

Gov. Reynolds said, “Iowans

made their voices heard in the selection process for our state’s next license plate design. I’m glad so many were able to help select a meaningful design that should serve as a point of pride for our state and showcase our unique culture to the rest of

the country.”

Lowe said, “I’m pleased we were able to include the public in the selection process. People lined up at our booth to vote throughout the fair, and many more people voted online. It was fun and gratifying to see so many people positively engage, and I’m happy that the end result is a colorful, positive design that’s still easy to read and meets its public

safety purpose. Many people commented that this design represented everyone in the state, and we know Iowa is a great place wherever you choose to live.”

The new plate design will be available sometime in 2018. Plates with the new designs will be issued to vehicle owners whenever they add or change vehicles and obtain new county standard plates or whenever they replace lost, stolen or damaged county standard plates.

To avoid unnecessary cost, Iowans who currently have county standard plates will receive replacement plates with the new design when their current plate reaches the end of its 10-year replacement cycle. Vehicle owners who want a new plate sooner may purchase a set from their local county treasurer’s office for $5.

Arthur firefighter Matt Rydberg and other Iowa firefighters worked with firefighters from the Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend Refinery Department on hose handling and other fire fighting techniques.

DOT oďŹ&#x20AC;ices closed for Labor Day holiday All Iowa Department of Transportation business locations will be closed Monday, Sept. 4 for the Labor Day holiday.

All Iowa DOT driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license stations will be closed Saturday, Sept. 2, and Monday, Sept. 4 (offices are normally closed on Mondays).

The stations will resume operations Tuesday, Sept. 5, at 8:30 a.m.

Many people may be able to complete driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license business online at www.iowadot.gov or at one of the conveniently located selfservice kiosks. Kiosk users should check the host locationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday schedule to determine hours and availability.

The Iowa DOT recom-

mends that commercial vehicle operators plan ahead if they will need services from the Iowa DOT immediately following the Labor Day weekend. Commercial vehicle operators who need oversize/overweight permits for travel in Iowa on Tuesday, Sept. 5, should obtain them prior to 4:30 p.m.

Friday, Sept. 1.

No movements of oversize/overweight loads will

be permitted in Iowa from noon Friday, Sept. 1, until 30 minutes prior to sunrise on Tuesday, Sept. 5.

Because the permit center typically experiences a heavy workload on the day following the holiday, customers are urged to submit applications for oversize/overweight permits, especially those more than 156,000 pounds, several days before needing the permit.
