O-A/BC-IG boards elect new officers, set meeting procedures ❚ by DEB LOGER

The Odebolt-Arthur and Battle Creek-Ida Grove School Boards reorganized during their joint meeting in Odebolt Sept. 18. Temporary chair Kathy Leonard gave the oath of of ice for newly elected directors Tracy Bengford, Chris Boyle, Trisha Winger, Danika Hinkeldey, Crystal Endrulat and Jeff Rasmussen. She then directed the election for board presidents. Brad Lundell was elected president of the O-A board and Stephanie Konradi was elected as BC-IG’s president. Stacy Raasch was elected vice president for O-A. Tony Bennett was elected vice president for BC-IG. The boards will meet at 6:30 p.m. the second Monday of each month in alternating districts. The general consensus of the board was to start each meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance. The Chronicle was named the of icial publication for Odebolt-Arthur. The Ida County Courier was named the of icial publication for BC-IG. Stacy Raasch and Ryan Goodman were appointed delegates to represent the O-A and BCIG boards, respectively at the IASB Delegate Assembly. Lundell was named alternate for O-A. BC-IG approved the $19,750 bid from Michaelson Construction to complete the drain-

age project at the BC-IG Elementary School. Ladwig Construction’s bid of $4,980 for related concrete work for the project was approved. Early graduation requests were approved for Alexis Renze, Zane Dausel, Dakota Porter, Sarah Black and David Hoss Jr. by the BC-IG board. The graduation requests were approved pending successful completion of graduation requirements. The BC-IG board approved the O-A/BC-IG High School wrestling program’s fundraising request to host an eight-team kickball tournament Sept. 23. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward team camps. The O-A board approved deleting Joey Hoe ling and adding Brad Lundell to the signature cards at First State Bank and United Bank of Iowa on behalf of the O-A district. Superintendent Terry Kenealy reported the district received a letter from the Iowa High School Athletic Association stating O-A/BC-IG was one of 165 schools (45 percent) of the IHSAA membership, who had no student-athletes or coaches ejected during the 2016-17 school year. Leonard reported both districts received dividends from EMC Insurance for participation in the IASB Safety Group program—O-A (continued on page 2)

by a water system. Durst noted Ida Grove’s drinking water supply is currently under the acceptable nitrate level (below 10 mg/L), but the trend over the last ive years has steadily gone up to 5.5 mg/L. “Ida Grove’s nitrate levels are going up,” said Durst. “They aren’t at a dangerous level yet, but they will be, based on the upward trend. Your wells are shallow wells and most are based in agricultural areas.” Durst went on to explain the goal of source water protection (continued on page 3)

OABCIG board discusses bond elec on ❚ by DEB LOGER

OABCIG Superintendent Terry Kenealy talked about the failure of the $16.4 million general obligation referendum bond vote failing at the board’s meeting Sept.18. Kenealy said, “I had more questions asked the two days after the vote than at all the informational meetings. I would suggest we hold a work session to discuss what happens next. We also need to have the joint facilities committee meet

to give us their input. We need to communicate with the public about what they did and didn’t like about the referendum. We need to have frank discussions on the facilities. We can bring it back to vote in April and I will ind out what the date to submit a petition is.” “I was frustrated with the lack of turnout at the informational meetings. We need to talk to the people. They need to know we started at $31

million. That’s what we were told was needed to get the buildings up-to-date. I don’t think the people realized we narrowed it down to what we thought was needed,” said Stephanie Konradi. Stacy Raasch said, “We need to do something. But I think one of the problems is the farming economy right now. Maybe if we had $4 corn it would have passed.” “I don’t think the timing (continued on page 2)

According to documentation I’ve read, some 90 percent of school bonds fail in Iowa the irst time,” said Tony Bennett. The board members agreed they need to go to Kiwanis, ladies aid, church and other meetings to promote the need for the general obligation referendum vote. “We need to do more of a promotional job in the future,” said Bennett.

A resolution naming the of icial depositories for the district was approved as follows: United Bank of Iowa ($9 million), Iowa State Bank ($3 million) and First State Bank ($6 million). Both inancial institutions that will hold the merged district’s checking accounts need formal board action to add the names of the board president,

superintendent and treasurer on signature cards. The board approved adding Stephanie Konradi, Kenealy and Kathy Leonard to the checking account signature cards at First State Bank and United Bank of Iowa.

Emergency management commission learns about possible shipping containers ❚ by DEB LOGER

The Ida County Emergency Management Commission (EMC) handled a light agenda during its meeting Sept. 19 in Arthur. Ida County EMC Coordinator Ed Sohm talked about the county Emergency Services Association. The Emergency Services Association is comprised of Sohm, Horn Memorial Hospital ER, Ida County dispatch, the sheriff’s of ice, ire chiefs from each community and EMS personnel. “We meet every other month and, through these meetings, two years ago, we started sending two ire departments to any structure ire call,” he said. “The second one may get called back to the station, if not needed, but, when the page goes out, two departments are paged. All of the ire chiefs are wonderful, and last month they came up with an idea. A lot of ire departments, such as Denison, are building houses out of shipping contain-

ers for ire practice. These shipping container houses can be reused over and over and provide a necessary training tool. “Last month, the ire chiefs asked me if they could build a shipping container training center at the land ill. I have a call in to Cindy Turkle to see if this would be allowed. I’d suggest each town purchase a shipping container and we put it at the land ill. The county would cover the insurance. Right now, I’m checking to see if this is feasible.” Under new business, Sohm discussed a push throughout Iowa to make EMS an essential service. Sohm said, “No one in Iowa is required to provide emergency medical service. There is currently a grassroots push to have the state make EMS an essential service. If the state does make it an essential service, there has to be a funding source, which would probably be a new tax for EMS. How to

fund this proposed mandate and govern it is the question. I’ll keep you up-to-date on this.” Sohm also gave an update on grants and exercises. A new exercise is mandated for agencies that bill CNS Medicare (nursing homes, hospitals, clinics, etc.). Sohm said such an exercise was conducted last week. Present were Sohm, Ida County Supervisors Rhett Leonard, Ray Drey and Creston Schubert and Arthur Mayor Randy Fineran, Battle Creek Mayor Lloyd “Doc” Holmes, Galva Mayor Stan Nading, Holstein Mayor Connie Ludvigson and Sheriff Wade Harriman. Ida Grove Mayor Devlun Whiteing was absent. The next EMC meeting is Nov. 21 at the Ida County Courthouse.

G-H/S-C boards name new officers, review enrollment numbers ❚ by MIKE THORNHILL

The Galva-Holstein and Schaller-Crestland school boards held their annual organizational meetings Sept. 20. The two boards elected new of icers and reviewed preliminary enrollment numbers. For Galva-Holstein, Jamie Whitmer was approved as president. Dave Kistenmacher was named vice president. Evan Johnson was elected as the delegate assembly representative. For Schaller-Crestland, Alan Movall was approved as board president. Tim DeLance was approved as vice president. Christy Horan was elected as the delegate assembly representative. The both boards approved continuing the current meeting regulations with the second Monday of the month set as the of icial day for school board meetings. The boards will meet jointly at 7 p.m. in alternating sites between Holstein and Schaller with lexibility in case of con licts of location or times during the winter months. The boards have moved their joint meetings to 6 p.m. during the winter months. Retiring G-H board members Don Friedrichsen and Kyle Bennett were recognized for their years of service on the board. Friedrichsen served for 23 years while Bennett served for four years. Friedrichsen thanked the community, the administration, students and staff for their support. He noted for the most part things went well during his time on the board and he enjoyed working with both G-H and S-C board members. Friedrichsen also thanked his wife, Linda, and the rest of his family for their support and taking over some of his “chores” on the farm when he had to attend school board meetings and events. Superintendent Jon Wiebers shared preliminary enrollment numbers with the board. The of icial certi ied enrollment count will be conducted at the end of September. The preliminary numbers are (number in parenthesis is the 2016 number) high school, 195 (189); middle school, 182 (155); G-H Upper Elementary, 100 (106); G-H Lower Elementary, 147 (133); S-C Elementary, 180 (193) and total students, 804 (776). In addition there are 25 (25) four year-old preschoolers at S-C and 31 (22) at G-H and 20 (15) three year olds at S-C. The G-H board approved several employee items related to the Transitional Alliance Program (TAP), which helps special education students transition into the

workforce. TAP operates on an October to September year. Jay Pratt’s resignation as a TAP employee was approved. Contracts for the following TAP employees were approved: Dorene Horstman ($30,985); Felicia Madden ($30,985); Jenn Nixon ($34,428); Kris Goff ($29,837); Natalie Kliegl as TAP iscal agent ($3,000) and John Miller as TAP administrator ($6,600).

In other contracts, G-H approved a contract with Jennifer Jochims as shared prom sponsor ($573) and S-C approved hiring Nicole Domino as a Wee Wildcat Daycare employee ($8 per hour). In other business •Both boards reviewed and approved end of iscal year 2017 statements of accounts. •Both boards also approved their respective school election results from Sept. 12. •G-H board members approved Community Bank and United Bank of Iowa as bank depositors for various school accounts. •Twelve members of the Future Farmers of America and instructor Clay Drenth were given the okay to attend the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 24-28. Members pay for their own meals and the chapter pays for registration and hotels. •The S-C board approved the early retirement incentive plan for fulltime non-certi ied staff at

the end of December. The only change in the plan from the past is staff has to retire on Dec. 31, 2017 and the clause that they may not be rehired is removed. The incentive will be 30 percent of salary for classi ied staff and 40 percent for supervisors. •S-C approved $169,326 in modi ied allowable growth and supplemental aid for the special education balance. G-H did not have to take action on the modi ied allowable growth because the district had a $3,000 positive balance. •The boards heard or received reports from Ridge View Middle School and Schaller-Crestland Elementary School principal Jared Mozer; Ridge View High School Principal Bret Warnke; Galva-Holstein Upper Elementary Principal Mike Richard and Athletic Director Scott Mitchell. The administrators noted the school year has gotten off to a good start. •In his report to the boards, Wiebers noted concerns about the number of fundraisers conducted by students for various school programs.

G-H board recognition: The Galva-Holstein School Board recognized two board members for their years of service during the Sept. 20 board meeting. Don Friedrichsen, left, was recognized for his 23 years on the board and Kyle Bennett was recognized for four years of service. Both board members chose not to seek reelection in the most recent election.

(continued from front page) is to carefully manage the land which drinking water travels through, in order to increase water quality. By protecting the land, communities save money through less water treatment and less likelihood of well replacement. “We don’t want Ida Grove to have to spend millions on a de-nitration system or look for a new well site,” said Durst. “We want to lessen the inancial burden on the city and its residents. Having a plan and conservation practices do help lower nitrate levels.” Durst noted part of the effort to protect the water begins with a survey of farmers in an area north of Ida Grove, where the city draws its water. (That area is known as the capture area.) The survey asks for information about land use. Durst added those same farmers will be asked to attend a meeting in Ida Grove (no date has been set) to discuss farm practices and how conservation practices help protect source water. Participation in the survey and meeting are on a voluntary basis. Durst noted, if the farmers choose to adopt conservation practices, they may be entitled to inancial incentives offered through a variety of sources. She added other communities have had success in helping farmers develop conservation practices with the help of Iowa State University and Natural Resources Cconservation Service. Durst shared information from the Gilbertville source water plan, which noted the conservation practices that farmers in that area were asked to consider. The items were plugging wells in the capture area, encourage enrollment in Conservation Reserve Program and/or implement conservation practices, including cover crops, buffer strips, no-till and nutrient management. Working with farmers is just one part of the source water program. Durst said the program includes the development of a source water team, which would include community members who want to explore water quality in the area. The team will meet to discuss opportunities for protecting the public water system and create goals and a timeline for the local plan to be presented to the city council. The council will be responsible to have an emergency drinking water contingency plan in place, to add to the plan developed by the community group. Once inalized and approved, the plan will be submitted to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The council gave Durst its support to begin work on developing the local plan. She noted she has access through partnerships to provide education, scienti ic tools and funding to help communities carry out their plan. “I think this is a fantastic program,” noted councilman Gregor Ernst. “I do have some concerns that we don’t hurt our area farmers or negatively affect their farm practices. “If we can get one (farmer) to start, that may get others on board. If we can show there is not a negative impact on their operation, others may join.” Nicole Peterson, Siouxland Interstate Metropolitan Planning Council regional planner, met with the council to discuss the process for updating the city’s comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan helps the city develop goals to meet community needs in terms of housing, economic development, transportation, parks and community facilities and services. The current city plan is about 15 years old. Peterson noted the overall goal of developing a plan for Ida Grove is to give a “snapshot” of what the community looks like

. . . IG council

in 2017 and then develop goals for what the community would like the town to look like in the future. Peterson developed a proposed timeline for updating the plan. The Sept. 18 council introductory meeting was the irst of several meetings over the next several months. The future meeting schedule includes a steering committee composed of the council and other interested individuals on Oct. 2 at 5 p.m. followed by a public vision session on Wednesday, Nov. 15, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the rec center. The public is encouraged to attend the Nov. 15 meeting to give input on community needs. The steering committee will continue to meet one hour prior to the irst council meeting of the month in December, January, February and March. A public review period is slated for next March through May. The Planning and Zoning Commission will review the plan next May or June, with a public hearing to adopt a inal plan next July. Part of the planning process includes surveying city residents about needs within the community via a survey distributed both online and by paper version, which will be available at city hall. Surveys will be collected Oct. 2 through Nov. 27. The council revisited the issue of making improvements to city hall. Deputy City Administrator Heather Sweeden reported she asked three local contracts to look at the community hall and city hall of ices to ind out what costs might be to make improvements. Only councilman Scott Tomlinson responded. His rough estimate was $150,000 to update the interior of the building. That igure does not include any exterior work, such as tuck pointing, painting and possible roof repairs where a leak has developed around an air conditioning unit on top of the community hall building. Councilman Ryan Goodman noted the council needs hard numbers to consider for both the interior and exterior work before making a decision on whether to keep the current building or look at purchasing another building. Goodman noted it might be more cost effective to purchase an existing building than to spend a lot of money on the current building. Councilman Doug Clough added, “We owe it to the taxpayers to let them know what we are talking about and the amount of money we are looking at spending, whether we ix the current building or buy another one. We need to look at all aspects of this. We need to get some dollar estimates and have a public meeting.” In a irst step, the council instructed Sweeden to have someone take a look at the community hall roof and determine what the problem is and cost to ix it. In other business •The council approved, pending City Attorney Peter

Goldsmith’s approval of agreement language, the urban renewal joint agreement with the county. The agreement will allow the county to use TIF funds from the irst phase of the wind turbine project located within two miles of the city limits on culverts, bridges and roads. The council had tabled the agreement Sept. 5 in order to clarify language in the agreement that would give the city input on projects inside the city limits. •Godbersen-Smith Construction’s proposal to replace the north bridge approach to the Main Street bridge leading into Zobel’s Addition was approved. The cost of the project is $10,000. •City staff will continue to look at areas to spread sludge from the wastewater treatment plant. An area next to the airport runway is under consideration, depending on if there are enough acres. City Administrator Marc Dennison was instructed to contact Schau Towing about an area next to their recycling site southeast of town. Dennison will also check with Lanny Cipperley about applying the sludge on ground he rents from the city west of town, after the harvest season is over. •The council met with two local insurance agents to hear proposals on employee health insurance plans. The council is looking at ways to make family health insurance plans more affordable for employees who may want those plans. No action was taken. •Rick Roeder gave an update on trimming trees in the city park. He said he hoped to be inished by Saturday, Sept. 23. Roeder recommended the city start a tree replacement plan in the park. •A hangar lease agreement for the municipal airport was approved. The current rental rate of $50 per month for the smaller units and $55 for the larger units will be increased for current tenants to $60 and $65 per month. New renters in the future will be charged $70 and $75 per month. The hangars will be available for both airplane storage and general storage. •Due to the cost of trucking free dirt from the U.S. Highway 20 project, the council instructed Dennison to tell project of icials that the city can’t afford to accept the dirt. The council was considering taking 28,000 cubic yards of dirt for possible use in the west access project, but the cost to transport that amount of dirt is more than $200,000. •Bob Lorenzen of the city crew showed the council signs that will be placed on the Pleasant Valley Trail at points where bicyclist and walkers cross roadways. The signs include stop, yield and authorized vehicles only. •The council approved a plan presented by Forte to offer city residents an online bill pay system. •The next city council meeting will be Monday, Oct. 2, at 7 p.m.

Public safety commission hears informa on on sanctuary coun es, arrests ❚ by DEB LOGER

Ida County Sheriff Wade Harriman talked about sanctuary counties during the Ida County Public Safety and Communications Commission meeting Sept. 19 in Arthur. “I was asked today (Sept. 19) if Ida County is a sanctuary county. Ida County works closely with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) anytime we deal with an illegal alien. We have handed over two illegal aliens within the last year alone. However, based on court rulings and law, we do not hold anyone, including illegal aliens, past 48-hours without an I-247 form, which is the ICE detainer request. “Anytime an illegal alien comes into the county jail, we contact ICE immediately and advise them. They are fully aware of the policy that they have 48-hours to provide us with an I-247 form, as that is the policy of many county jails in Iowa. If we receive that, we will honor the request. In addition, if we don’t hear anything from ICE, we do contact them again just prior to the 48-hour expiration, to give them one more opportunity for them to request a hold. “If we held someone over the 48-hours without the I-247 form, we would open Ida County up to liability and possible litigation. I want to be clear that we work with ICE and will honor the detainer, if we receive it. We will turn over any illegal aliens in our custody to them.” Harriman reported there were 22 arrests in August. Arrests of note were as follows: •On Aug. 14, an Ida Grove woman was arrested for animal neglect. “We’ve been to her residence before and keep an eye on that area. We take these cases seriously and investigate them. If we have questions about a suspected abused animal, we call in a local vet. We work with Noah’s Hope in Sioux City to ind homes for abused animals. We get a lot of complaints in the winter about people leaving their dogs outside. If the animal has shelter from the cold and weather, there’s not much we can do.” •On Aug. 17, we iled multiple charges against a rural Battle Creek man who assaulted his dad and took his vehicle. •On Aug. 21, a Holstein man was arrested for child pornography. This was a joint investigation with the Division of Criminal Investigation

(DCI) that started in March. Harriman said the man’s devices had been seized and taken to the DCI lab. •On Aug. 27, two Holstein men were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. On Aug. 31, a joint investigation with the Department of Human Services led to the arrest of an Ida Grove man, who was charged with assault with bodily injury to a child. Under communications, Harriman reported the communication center is going well since the remodel three months ago. He noted there are pros and cons to the statewide communication system, which is slated to be completed in December. Twenty-four inmates were booked into the jail during August. There were ive in the jail Sept. 19. Harriman said there have been no major issues in the jail over the past month. Harriman’s personnel report included the following: Rebecca Schmidt is doing a ine job as a dispatcher; a promotional exam for the sergeant position is underway and he hopes to name a sergeant by Nov. 1 and the K-9 trials held here in August went well. A total of 32 of icers participated in the competition. Ida County Deputy Andrew Shillington placed third individually and advanced to the nationals in Alabama. His team placed irst. Harriman reported there was one arrest made while the competitors were in Ida Grove. Two of icers staying at one of the motels had their dogs hit on a vehicle. They called the Ida County Sheriff’s Of ice and the owner of the vehicle was arrested for drug possession. In other business, the general consensus of the commission was for Harriman to scrap the 2009 Ford Crown Vic. Harriman told the commission the engine is blown. Normally, Harriman sells old deputy vehicles by sealed bid or trades them in. Present were Harriman, supervisors Rhett Leonard, Ray Drey and Creston Schubert, Arthur Mayor Randy Fineran, Battle Creek Mayor Lloyd “Doc” Holmes, Galva Mayor Stan Nading and Holstein Mayor Connie Ludvigson. Ida Grove Mayor Devlun Whiteing was absent. The next public safety commission meeting is Oct. 17 at 6 p.m. in Battle Creek.

O-A/BC-IG boards learn enrollment is down ❚ by DEB LOGER

The 2016-17 OdeboltArthur and Battle Creek-Ida Grove School Boards last agenda was a light one. The boards met in joint session in Odebolt Sept. 18. The meeting was followed by the organizational meeting of the 2017-18 O-A/BC-IG board and the OABCIG board (see separate stories). Superintendent Terry Kenealy provided information on the O-A playground equipment, the concession stand at O-A, the epoxy floor at BC-IG Elementary, HVAC digital controls at BC-IG Elementary, PERB certification elections and unofficial enrollment numbers. Kenealy reported the playground equipment is on site. The installers were to be in Odebolt Sept. 19 and finish up the project by the end of the month. Kenealy attended a meeting in Odebolt to discuss a possible partnership for the

concession stand near the Pee Wee ballfield. A committee is putting together information to apply for a grant (due Oct. 9) to update the building, which is small and has no running water. The committee hopes to partner with the school and City of Odebolt to update the facility. Kenealy noted the building sits on school property. The subcontractor who installed the epoxy floor unsatisfactorily in the elementary building in Ida Grove was to be in town Sept. 22 to correct their work. Kenealy is in the process of setting up meetings with two companies to address installing HVAC digital controls at the Ida Grove elementary building. PERB (Public Employment Relations Board) certification elections will be held Oct. 10-24 and are run by PERB. Elections are required when contracts ex-

pire. Kenealy reported the unofficial enrollment in all three buildings is 997, down from last year’s 1,006. He noted the official count is taken on Oct. 1 and submitted to the state by Oct. 15. Board secretary Kathy Leonard gave a report on the official results of the canvass of the Sept. 12 election. The O-A board approved contracts for Deanna Thies (PK/AK bus route) and Tony Napierala (middle school girls’ basketball coach). BC-IG approved an outof-state trip to the National FFA Convention and Expo in Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 24-28. Superintendent Kenealy presented plaques to Joey Hoefling, Pat Hoefling and Ryan Schroeder for their years of service to the O-A communities. Ryan Goodman was absent.

County E911 board discusses communica on tower, tex ng to 911 ❚ by DEB LOGER

Ida County E911 Director Ed Sohm discussed placing a communication tower at the landfill and text to 911 during the E911 board meeting Sept. 20 in Arthur. Sohm said, “I talked about putting a tower at the landfill last month. When we went to narrow-band we lost some radio coverage on our fire channel, not so much with the sheriff ’s department as they have digital radios. They do have a couple holes down by Danbury, by Washta Access and down by Kiron. I’ve been talking about putting up a tower at the landfill and last month proposed a 300foot self-supporting tower. The cost would be $240,000 to $300,000 plus possibly $25,000 for the concrete. “E911 has $307,000 in the bank, but we also need to consider updating our radio console in the communications center. Ours is obsolete and they no longer make parts for it. If we have a problem, they are putting in used parts. Sohm said they no longer make parts for the radio console. If it needs repairs, they buy used parts. The cost for a new console would be $240,000 to $250,000. “The state system has 95 percent coverage of Ida County, but they are missing about half of our population. I talked to them about putting up a tower and repeater. If they did that, I’d maintain it forever. I’d like to take this to the next step and hire Alpha-Wireless to solicit bids so we know what the actual cost would be.” Supervisor Rhett Leonard said, “I’d like to see you pursue getting the state to pay for a tower and console. A tower in Ida County would help the state’s system with neighboring counties.” Sohm commented that he has considered approaching Invenergy due to some of the public service announcements they issue. I’ve also hinted to the supervisors this would be a good project for TIF funds to be used for. He said he’d like to have a real number to approach the state or Invenergy with.

“Another topic I want to talk to you about is text to 911. I refer to this as the next generation 911. At fair time we tested text to 911 with Verizon and it worked fairly well. Yesterday (Sept. 18) we tested U.S. Cellular. Through U.S. Cellular we are able to send a picture. We sent it, then the dispatcher received a message to call an 800 number and type in a code and the picture would be mailed to us. It took a long time, five to seven minutes, before the picture text went through. “Text to 911 is inefficient. I’d urge people, if you can talk call 911 do not text. I think texting 911 would be good if someone was hiding in their home from an intruder or deaf. We haven’t tested AT&T. Texting 911 is only for an emergency. I’d urge people not to text a picture of someone passing them illegally. It’s dangerous, it’s not an emergency and it’s illegal,” said Sohm. Under old business, Sohm briefly touched on signs and the old courthouse generator. Sohm said there is a flurry of sign activity this time of year. He is in the process of documenting where downed signs are. Arthur Mayor Randy Fineran asked if Sohm had contacted the fire departments about putting up downed signs in their coverage area. Sohm replied he hasn’t but will do so. Sohm reported he is still working with the City of Ida Grove to place the old county generator at the Ida Grove water tower. Sohm also reviewed the 2017 fiscal financial report noting revenue was $174,363, expenditures were $104,013 and there is $307,411 in the bank. Present were Sohm, Ida County Supervisor Rhett Leonard, Arthur Mayor Randy Fineran, Battle Creek Mayor Lloyd “Doc” Holmes, Galva Mayor Stan Nading and Holstein Mayor Connie Ludvigson. Ida Grove Mayor Devlun Whiteing and Galva Township Fire Board member Craig Peterson were absent. The next E911 board meeting is Nov. 21 at the Ida County Courthouse.

FAMILY & FRIENDS Arthur Library After a great summer of reading, the Arthur Public Library thanks everyone who participated in our summer reading program – by presenting programs, attending programs and reading. In August, we had a great time when the Ida County Extension Office presented a program in which our kids each used their imagination and built items from various materials in a big tub. Danielle Bennett, the Ida County naturalist, presented a program on how different animals are protected by camouflage. The kids had a great time coloring frogs and pasting plants on the paper to show this. We ended our program with a visit from a representative of the Blank Park Zoo and enjoyed cupcakes as a snack. During the summer, each participant got a building block for each 15 minutes that they read and, at the end of the summer, they had a structure made of titles of books they had read. It was exciting to see adults reading along with the kids. It was a great summer. Mark Saturday, Sept. 30, on your calendar – that’s the date for our first craft/ vendor fair from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Arthur Community Center. Many different vendors and crafters have expressed an interest in coming, so we are expecting a fun day. A noon lunch will be provided by the Blaine Clovers 4-H group, as a fundraiser. The Singletree Emporium in Arthur will also be open for antique enthusiasts. There are still a few tables available for last-minute crafters or vendors (there is a fee). Forms are available on the library website at http://www.arthur.lib.ia.us and on the Arthur Public Library page on Facebook. Contact the library with questions. Due to some changes in the library board of trustees, a position is open on the board, needing to be filled by a resident of the town of Arthur. Contact the library for more information. New materials at the library includes: Adult: “Cross Justice and The Store” by James Patterson, “Thirty Million Words” by Dana Suskind, “This Life I Live” by Rory Feek, “Any Dream Will Do” in large print by Debbie Macomber, “A Child’s Book of Character Building” by Ron Coriell and the “2016-17 Falcon Yearbook.” Young adult: “The 13-Story Treehouse,” “The 26-Story

MOB class: For the past four weeks, participants from the Battle Creek area have attended the Matter of Balance (MOB) classes offered through Horn Memorial Public Health. Matter of Balance is a program that works with older adults in the community that have fallen or have concerns related to falling, balance issues or dizziness. Through education, fall prevention strategies and specific exercises, Matter of Balance is designed to decrease the fear and risk of falling. Carla Fick, one of the participants, summed up the feelings of all when she said,“I always said that education is a ticket out of poverty, and Matter of Balance is my ticket to safety and health in my senior years.” Attendees receiving certificates were: Carla Fick, Betty Petersen, Iris Witt, Shar Osborn, Jo Palmer, Verdean Bremer, VaLaura Tarr, Edward Marth and Marlene Marth. The coaches teaching this session were Sue Salcido and Nadine Dutler. Matter of Balance Classes are offered several times a year throughout Ida County. For more information, contact Patti Andrews or Erin Dausel at Horn Memorial Public Health, 712-364-7311.

First graders visit Schulte farm at Odebolt The Odebolt-Arthur irst graders have been learning about animals. On Friday, Sept. 15, they went on a ield trip to the Schulte Cattle Company just outside of Odebolt. Rick Schroeder brought his horse, Buddy, for the students to observe, touch and ride. Bus driver Rudy Thies helped the children on and off the horse.

Linda Siebrecht read a chapter from the book, “Charlotte’s Web,” while the students enjoyed snacks and a look around the barn. Teacher Diane Schulte and her husband, Larry, talked to the students about raising show calves and gave the children a chance to groom a calf. This experience provided authentic learning,

mixed with laughter and fun, and was just a couple of miles down the road from the real classroom. A wise man once said, “Animals are such agreeable friends – they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” Everyone had a great time and left a little smarter about animals and life on the farm.

Get involved, be a part of something larger My name is Nadine Dutler. My husband, Gene, and I are residents of Ida Grove. We have one son, Joshua Dutler, who is currently working as a wildlife biologist technician in Alaska. I am a nurse by profession. I retired a few years ago but found my heart, to be a blessing to others, did not. I ind I am at my personal best when my mind is off of myself and reaching out to others. Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) offered a way to do just that, and also opened up the door to other volunteer opportunities. I have been able to touch the lives of others in a positive way, meet many new people and made new friendships with like-minded people. If I were to say to you, Sept. 11, 2001, what would come to mind? I would be surprised if most of you would not immediately say the terrorist attacks in New York City. Thousands dead and injured, the landscape of the city and the heart of the nation forever changed. August 2005, Hurricane Katrina hits the Gulf Coast. The inal death toll is 1,836. Millions of dollars were lost in the businesses, homes and infrastructure that were destroyed. Closer to home, April 9, 2011, Mapleton. With little warning or time to prepare, a category EF3 tornado roars through the town. In the aftermath, all power is lost and many blocks of the town are destroyed. Thankfully, there were no deaths, but several injuries were reported. Chances are you recall each of these events. You can probably still see the horri ic scenes playing out in your mind…the devastation, the chaos. You may even remember where you were and what you were doing the moment you irst heard about them and watched the coverage play out on your television screen. Like me, you were probably moved with compassion, wanting to help, but feeling overwhelmed. How could one person make a difference in something of that magnitude?

Two things are true about every disaster, regardless of the size and scope. They are unpredictable, and they often occur with little, if any, warning. Another daunting fact about disasters is that there will always be another one… somewhere, sometime. The good news is that ,just because disasters are unpredictable and unexpected, doesn’t mean we can’t be prepared for them in advance. And, just because you are only one person, any person, doesn’t mean you can’t make a big difference in your community’s response to and the outcome of a disaster. September is National Preparedness Month. Locally, through the sponsorship of Horn Memorial Hospital, the Ida County Medical Reserve Corps was developed as a volunteer organization to enhance local response capabilities to disasters or emergency events, and to increase the emergency preparedness of Ida County residents. The mission of MRC is to identify, educate and train local volunteers who can help improve community emergency preparedness and be readily mobilized to supplement hospital and public health operations during times of major healthcare needs, and promote healthy living throughout the year. You do not need to have a healthcare background to be an MRC volunteer. Each member of the team, regardless of age, has a unique skill set and history they bring as an asset to the unit. If you are new to volunteering, MRC is a great place to start. The Medical Reserve Corps is growing into a widely recognized and respected community resource. It requires minimal time commitments and offers ongoing education that is not only bene icial to the community in times of need, but to the lives of the individual members themselves. When you join the Medical Reserve Corps, you become a part of something that is bigger than yourself. In addition to emergency

preparedness, throughout the year, other volunteer opportunities are available for MRC members to participate in, if they so choose. Everything from lu clinics to Kidsfest, you can ind an area that speaks to you and make a difference to a person or a community in need. Making the decision to make the time and take the time to become a volunteer is so satisfying; you make wonderful new friendships and it just feels good. So, you can join MRC to become prepared to help your community in time of disaster or by volunteering through other programs offered through Horn Memorial Hospital/public health. These include hospice, a program that works to improve the quality of life for those facing life-limiting illnesses and their families, or A Matter of Balance, a program that educates older adults in the community who have concerns with balance issues or many other volunteer opportunities throughout Ida County. It is a decision you won’t regret. Your participation does matter, and you can make a real difference. To ind out more about these volunteer opportunities, call Patti Andrews, MRC unit leader, at 712-364-7311 today.

Catch and run: O-A/BC-IG’s Ryan Bumann breaks away for yardage after catching a pass from quarterback Kaden Ladwig in Friday’s 21-20 district football overtime loss to LoganMagnolia In Logan. Bumann caught three passes for 29 yards.

Falcons fall in overtime Despite a 247 yard rushing effort from Chase Devitt, O-A/BC-IG came up one point short in a 21-20 overtime district football loss to LoganMagnolia Friday in Logan. Devitt’s 247 yards came on 34 carries, which averages out to 7.3 yards per carry. Devitt’s yardage was 21 yards short of the O-A/BC-IG school record of 268 yards held by Cash Wilcke. “Devitt had a great game,” noted Falcon coach Larry Allen. “I don’t like to have one player carry the ball that much, but when he is averaging about eight yards per carry it is hard not to give him the ball. “In the irst quarter, a lot of his yards were on his own, but after the irst quarter we started to open some holes for him and he responded well to that.” As a team, the Falcons gained 281 yards on the ground and 70 yards through the air. Lo-Ma rushed for 246 yards and threw for 55 yards. All of the stats were pretty even, which is indicative of the score. However, penalties were a downfall for the Falcons. O-A/BC-IG was lagged 10 times for 90 yards while Lo-Ma had four penalties for 25 yards. “Lo-Ma has a solid program,” noted Allen. “They get after you and play hard the whole game. We responded very well to that. It was an exciting, back and forth battle. Both teams did some really good things offensively. It was the type of game where a single play here or there could make a world of difference. “Penalties were probably our biggest problem. We shot ourselves in the foot a few times and that caused some problems for us, but our kids kept ighting the whole game.” Lo-Ma broke the plane of

the end zone irst on a twoyard carry with 7:25 to play in the second quarter. The PAT kick was no good. O-A/BC-IG scored twice late in the second quarter to grab a 14-6 lead at halftime. The irst score came on Devitt’s nine-yard run with 3:40 to go before halftime. The PAT kick was no good. The second score, a one-yard run by Kaden Ladwig, came with 12 seconds left in the second quarter. Devitt scored the two-point conversion. Lo-Ma tied the game at 1414 on an 18-yard run and two point run at the 2:50 mark of the third quarter. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter. Lo-Ma missed a ield goal as time expired in regulation play. “When they missed that ield goal that brought some emotion back to our sideline, but unfortunately we came up just a little bit short in overtime,” noted Allen. Lo-Ma had the ball irst in the OT. They took a 21-14 lead on an 18-yard run and PAT kick. When the Falcons got the ball they scored on an 11yard run by Ladwig. On the irst try for two points, O-A/ BC-IG was called for a motion penalty, which pushed the ball back ive yards. On O-A/ BC-IG’s second try for two points the pass went incomplete. The loss dropped O-A/BCIG to 3-2 overall and to 1-2 in district play. Lo-Ma improved to 3-2 and to 2-1. O-A/BC-IG

is currently in fourth place in the district standings just a couple of points (margin of victory) ahead of Missouri Valley (3-2/1-2). The Falcons travel to Missouri Valley this Friday. “They’ve dropped their last couple of games, but they are a decent football team,” noted Allen. “We need to go back and work on inishing games. We want to be in the ball game at the end, but we also need to inish at the end.” Stats OABCIG LM First downs 18 16 Rushes/yds 47-281 46-246 Pass yds. 70 55 Pass/Att/Int 5-17-2 1-3-0 Total yards 351 301 Fum. lost 0 2 Penalties 10-90 4-25 Punts/ave. 2-40 3-40 Scoring by quarters OABCIG 0 14 0 0 6 —20 LM 0 6 8 0 7 —21 O-A/BC-IG individual stats Rushing: Devitt (34-247 yds., 1 TD), Ladwig (8-24 yds., 2 TDs), Godbersen (3-7 yds.), Bumann (2-3 yds.)

Ridge View capped homecoming week activities with a 16-7 district football win over Fort Dodge St. Edmond Friday. All of the scoring came in the fourth quarter. Raptor coach Dale Tokheim noted defense ruled for the irst three quarters before the Raptors scored on three consecutive possessions in the fourth quarter. “The irst half was a game of defense, although I think we stopped ourselves with our mistakes,” said Tokheim. “We drove the ball on our irst possession to their 18-yard line, but a sack put us at second and 20 from the 28. On that play (sack), Jake Tokheim (quarterback) just needs to throw the ball away. If it wasn’t for our mistake I think we score on that irst drive.” On Ridge View’s second drive the Raptors were limited by two of the team’s three total penalties. The third drive ended near mid ield on the team’s only fumble of the game. On Ridge View’s last drive of the irst half the Raptors drove more than 50 yards, picked up four irst downs, but missed some shooting linebackers upfront and had to throw a half back pass that went incomplete on fourth down. Tokheim said the team made some adjustments at halftime, but after the Raptors irst two possessions of the second half the coaches realized St. Edmonds had changed some things defensively. “We managed to pick up some irst downs on each drive, but punted near mid ield,” noted Tokheim. “The big thing was we took up some clock in the third quarter when they had the wind and Jake Tokheim had some nice punts with no returns, which forced St. Edmonds to drive 70 to 75 yards each possession.”

The coach added his club made more adjustments offensively in the fourth quarter and passed the ball a little more with the wind. As a result, Ridge View moved the ball and scored three times. The irst score came on a 22-yard run by Jake Mitchell, who inished the game with 126 yards on 24 carries, at the 9:48 mark of the inal quarter. The PAT kick was blocked. The score came at the end of a seven play, 71-yard drive. St. Edmonds answered the score on a 76-yard pass play with 8:26 to go in the fourth. The PAT kick made the score 7-6. “On that hitch pass (for the touchdown) we just missed a couple of tackles and our guys didn’t take a pursuit angle,” noted coach Tokheim. On Ridge View’s next possession, Jaxon Franken split the uprights on a 27-yard ield goal with 6:01 to play in the game. The score came after a ive play drive that covered 48-yards. The key play in the drive was a 41-yard run by Kevin McGuire. “The wind behind us factored into my decision to kick a ield goal. Franken can make that ield goal without the wind, so with the wind I knew he could make it,” said Tokheim. With a 9-6 lead in tow the Raptors added a little breathing room on Mitchell’s 17yard touchdown run with 3:30 to go in the game. Franken’s PAT kick made the score 16-7. Ridge View’s three-play, 32-yard touchdown drive was set up by Franken’s interception of a St. Edmond pass at the 50-yard line and 18-yard return to St. Edmond’s 32yard line. Even though the score was close, Ridge View dominated the stats with 308 total yards and 17 irst downs compared

to St. Edmond’s 134 total yards and ive irst downs. “Coach Brian Bode had a great defensive game plan and the defense had a great game. We gave up 134 yards, but 76 of those yards came on one play,” said Tokheim. “Offensively, we gained more than 300 yards, but had too many mistakes, inopportune penalties, a fumble, missed blocks and not throwing the ball away on our irst drive. We need to learn from our mistakes and keep improving, plus I need to do a better job of mixing in the pass. “Overall, it was a great effort by the boys and a great win.” Ridge View improved to 4-1 overall and to 3-0 in district play. St. Edmond fell to 2-3 and to 2-1. Ridge View and Algona Bishop Garrigan (5-0/3-0) are the only two teams in the district who are unbeaten in district play. This Friday, Ridge View will host Sioux Central (3-2/2-1) in a district game in Holstein.

Westwood didn’t go down without putting up a fight, but we played together and stayed positive until the end. “We did a great job of using all our hitters on offense and covering the entire floor on

defense. When we played against Westwood earlier this season we seemed to have a lot more holes in the backcourt and I’m glad to see we made some adjustments and were able to pick more of those balls up.” Ridge View improved its conference record to 6-0 and to 10-5 overall.

QCCP tour: Representatives from the Korean Bioethanol Advisory Team toured Quad County Corn Processors ethanol plant in Galva Sept. 20.

Korean bioethanol team tours QCCP Ten representatives from the Korean Bioethanol Advisory Team traveled to the United States Sept. 19–21 to learn more about Iowa’s corn and ethanol industries. As part of their two-day visit to the U.S., T.J. Page with the Iowa Corn Board brought the Korean group to Galva on Sept. 20 where they met with Quad County Corn Processors CEO Delayne Johnson and toured the ethanol plant. In addition to learning about Quad County’s innovative and patented cellulosic technology, Cellerate™, the group toured an Iowa row crop farm, local beef cattle and hog livestock farms, learned about ethanol blending and customer preferences and heard about the numerous lung health bene its of ethanol. Korea consumes roughly 379 million gallons of ethanol for beverage and industrial uses each year. The domestic

beverage industry produces about 114.5 million gallons of ethanol annually using domestic feedstocks such as rice, barley, sweet potato, etc. An additional 264.6 million gallons are imported from the U.S., Brazil and Pakistan for beverage and industrial purposes. The Korean government enforced a mandatory renewable fuel standard (RFS) that blends 2.5 percent of biodiesel since July 31, 2015. It is not currently considering adopting bioethanol to the RFS until the year 2020. Unlike biodiesel, where 45 percent of products have been produced from waste oils by domestic industry, fuel ethanol depends solely on imports and the government is not putting a priority on increasing its use despite the many advantages that it could provide the Korean fuel industry. Education is key to making this happen.

Christensen-Van Houten Funeral Home of Ida Grove is in charge of arrangements. Betty died peacefully with friends and family by her side Sept. 5, 2017, at Horn Memorial Hospital in Ida Grove. Betty Anne Constantino was born Feb. 21, 1923, in Quincy, Ill., to Mary Lyde (Cambron) and Sam Constantino. After her mother died, her father married Marian Wiskirchen, the only mother Betty knew. She had one older brother, Sam Jr., and two younger brothers, Hank and Nick. Betty attended Notre Dame Academy of Quincy (NDQ), where she sang on the radio and wrote skits for “The Juniorettes.” She enjoyed cheerleading and helped introduce acrobatics into their routines. She also enjoyed dancing and archery and was editor of the school paper, The NDQ Broadcaster. After graduating from high school in 1940, she trained at St. John’s Nursing School in Springfield, Ill., and graduated as a registered nurse.

She enjoyed arranging and taking various adult continuing education classes. She served as an officer in the American Legion and on committees, such as chair of an elementary school referendum and program chair for the Ida County Historical Society. She especially enjoyed doing research for eligible Century Farm applicants. Hosting parties, playing bridge, completing daily crossword puzzles and listening to the opera were her favorite pastimes. She was pleased to have traveled to Turkey and Greece, as well as visiting her children and their families in various residences, from New York to California. Betty is survived by her daughter, Bonnie (Rick) Liszewski of Groveland, Calif., and her son, Scott (Eva) McIntosh of Rochester, N.Y.

Governor signs overweight loads proclama on Governor Kim Reynolds signed a proclamation Sept. 18 allowing the transportation of overweight loads of corn, soybeans, hay, straw, silage and stover. The proclamation expires Nov. 17. “I am pleased to sign this proclamation allowing Iowa farmers to move their crops in an effective and ef icient manner,” Gov. Reynolds said. “Farmers are a critical component of our state’s economy, and this proclamation ensures they’re able to transport their crops ahead of deteriorating

weather conditions.” The proclamation allows vehicles transporting corn, soybeans, hay, straw, silage and stover to be overweight (not exceeding 90,000 pounds gross weight) without a permit, but only for the duration of this proclamation. This action is intended to allow loads transported on all highways within Iowa (excluding the interstate system) and those which do not exceed a maximum of 90,000 pounds gross weight, do not exceed the maximum axle

weight limit determined under the non-primary highway maximum gross weight table in Iowa Code § 321.463 (5) (b), by more than 12.5 percent, do not exceed the legal maximum axle weight limit of 20,000 pounds and comply with posted limits on roads and bridges. The Iowa Department of Transportation is directed to monitor the operation of this proclamation to ensure the public’s safety and facilitate the movement of the trucks involved in our state’s harvest.

Protect your identity in the aftermath of the Equifax breach es in Des Moines and Dubuque. Erickson says that there have been larger hacks in the past, citTravis K.

year. With three bureaus to choose from, this means you can check your credit report once every four months. This will show you what information each bureau has collected on you and give you an opportunity to contest or correct any discrepancies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to monitor your credit reports to see if anybody has set something up that you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t authorized,â&#x20AC;? said Erickson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to see if somebody has opened up an account in your name.â&#x20AC;? For additional security, Erickson also encourages people to contact the credit bureaus and ask them to put a freeze on their account. If you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planning on applying for credit in the immediate future, a freeze will prevent anybody from setting up services in your name. Freezing your accounts will require extra steps to unfreeze them in the event that you do want to get a loan or credit, but it will protect your credit report in the meantime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will block any request for credit without your explicit authorization,â&#x20AC;? said Erickson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good habit to establish because you know nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to set up anything without your authorization.â&#x20AC;? There are also credit monitoring services that provide protection from identity theft. They cost money, but will do the work of keeping tabs on your credit rating for you. Equifax has offered to waive fees for placing or removing a security freeze until November 21, 2017. The company is also offering one year of free credit monitoring from TrustedID Premier, which will monitor your credit activity from all three bureaus and provide additional identity theft protection. Accepting the free year of credit monitoring initially included language that waived the right to potential arbitration or class-action lawsuits; however Equifax has removed that language, stating that the company never intended for those clauses to apply to this incident. Signing up for the free year of credit monitoring does not require a credit card and will not auto-renew. In addition, because of the possibility of compromised Social Security numbers, the Federal Trade Commission recommends that SHRSOH Ă&#x20AC;OH WKHLU WD[HV DV HDUO\ DV possible as an identity thief might attempt to use a stolen social security number to get a tax refund. People should also be vigilant against phone scammers. A common phone scam involves calling somebody, claiming to be with

the IRS, and threatening them with arrest unless they pay a debt. The FTC says not to believe such claims, even if the person over the phone has your Social Security number. If you are concerned that your credit card has been compromised, it is recommended that you cancel your card and request a new one. Also be sure to regularly review your transactions and update any automatic payments youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set up with your new card. The FTC has a dedicated website to identity theft, www.identitytheft.gov, to help people who are concerned that somebody else is using their information. Looking for a silver lining in the Equifax breach, Erickson says that he hopes this event will raise awareness for people and encourage them to practice better habits when it comes to protecting themselves against identity theft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just make a habit of looking at your own credit card statements or bank account statements,â&#x20AC;? said Erickson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good habit to get into because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where your information is or who stole it.â&#x20AC;?

Grant products: Horn Memorial Hospital recently received a United Airlines Trust Fund grant through the Siouxland Community Foundation. The grant provided first aid kits and emergency blankets to the Ida County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) members and banners to promote the “You Are the Help, Until Help Arrives” program. Pictured are some of the MRC members: Marilyn Skaren, Anne Johnson, LuAnn Bennett, Erin Dausel, Rich Salcido, Greg Steenbock, Micki Fischer, Lori Peterson, Nancy Schoen, Larry Albrecht and Patti Andrews, MRC unit leader.

You are the help, until help arrives program Trauma is the leading cause of death for Americans under age 46. Life-threatening injuries require immediate action. A delay between injury and the initiation of care can result in death. People nearest to someone with life-threatening injuries are in the best position to provide irst aid. Research from the Centers for Disease Control shows that people hesitate to act when they feel they do not know what to do or are afraid they may make the situation worse. However, the actions most likely to save lives are simple and require no special skills or equipment.

“You Are the Help, Until Help Arrives” is a program designed to educate and empower the public to take action in emergency situations and provide lifesaving care before professional help arrives. Members of the Ida County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) were recently trained in the program and are available to present the training to community members. Members of the Ida County MRC will be presenting “You Are the Help, Until Help Arrives” training on Thursday, Oct. 12, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at The Meeting Place in Galva. To register, call Horn Memorial Public Health at 364-7311 or Anne Johnson at 282-4426.
