Las Vegas shooting: Sara Luft and Dr. Michael Luft of Ida Grove took this selfie prior to the start of a country music festival in Las Vegas Sunday, Oct. 1, where 59 people were killed and 527 were wounded.

Lufts return home after harrowing experience Dr. Michael and Sara Luft of Ida Grove were among the survivors of what’s being called the worst shooting in U.S. history that occurred Oct. 1, 2017, in Las Vega, Nev., when Stephen Paddock opened ire at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, killing 59 and injuring 500.

As a doctor, Luft has brought life into this world and has seen life go; did this experience change his perspective on life?

He said, “All life is precious. My wife and I talked about this, and I took a couple things away from this.

There are amazing people everywhere, because everybody was helping everyone. If someone fell, people were picking each other back up. People were shot and bleeding, but a lot of people knew what to do. We’d yell, just put your hand on it, keep pressure on it or put a belt around it. Everyone was helping people that couldn’t get through.”

Luft commented, “That was the hardest part

about my wife. I knew we had to get out of the clearing, and she kept stopping to help people.

I inally grabbed her and said we can’t be here.

We’ve got 10 children between us, and three grandchildren. We need to get out of the open, and then we’ll help people. It was probably a little sel ish on my part; we have a 10month old at home, and all I kept thinking about was getting her mom out of there. I couldn’t see us being out in the open, because we didn’t know where these people were that were shooting.

—Dr. Michael Luft “It was so loud. I can’t even explain.

I was in the service out of high school and I knew what an automatic ri le sounds like. It took me a few seconds to igure it out; it sounded like it was in the venue. Now, I realize he was so far up in the air and probably the acoustics of that building made it sound like the shooting was closer than it really was. It (continued on page 3)

All life is precious.

There are amazing people everywhere, because everybody was helping everyone.

Jan Hewitt approached the Ida Grove City Council Oct. 2 about developing seven acres of property he owns between West Fifth and West Seventh Streets into an area where ive to six houses or possibly apartments could be built (Hewitt would not build the houses, only make lots available).

Hewitt, formerly of Ida Grove, who now lives in Sergeant Bluff, said he and his wife are considering moving back to Ida Grove. Hewitt said he is considering building his own house in that area.

Hewitt said he believes there is a market for houses in a moderate price range.

“There are a lot of empty houses in town, but not a lot of nice houses available. I think there is a need for twoto three-bedroom houses on a little bigger lot.”

Hewitt said some of the lots in the area would be around three-quarters of an acre.

In order to develop the lots, a street and sewer and water lines would have to be added to the area.

Hewitt asked the council to consider the idea and how the improvements (street, sewer/ water lines) could be paid for.

One possibility would be to come up with a plan where the developer would pay for part of the improvements if a certain number of houses were not added in a given time frame, similar to the

development south of Zobel’s Addition.

The council liked the idea of adding housing options for the community. Mayor Devlun Whiteing said the city would do some research and “crunch some numbers” on a possible development and get back to Hewitt.

Kathy Johnson addressed the council about removing a restriction the city has on allowing pit bulls inside the city limits. Johnson said pit bulls have gained an unfavorable reputation and much of their negative image is more of a stereotype than a fact.

Johnson said she has experience with pit bulls in her role as a dog handler. She said the breed is no different than other dogs; it has more to do with how any dog is treated and trained by the owner.

When questioned by the council why she wanted pit bulls removed from the ban, Johnson said she has no plans to own a pit bull. She noted she is just against a breedspeci ic ban.

Johnson said, if the council is concerned about pit bulls, the city still has an ordinance relating to vicious animals that could be used to remove a speci ic dog, if it were deemed vicious.

Councilman Ryan Goodman agreed with Johnson that a dog’s behavior is related more (continued on page 2)

Holstein council discusses nuisance proper es, ATV/Gator regula ons ❚ by DEB LOGER

Tom and Debby Else were present at the Holstein City Council meeting Oct. 2 to discuss concerns regarding the condition of the house at 217 E. Second St., owned by Darrell and Margaret Johnson.

Debby Else said, “I feel we need to address the vacant houses that are un-rentable in our community. I’ve been meeting with Kay (city administrator Kay Hanson) about

Little to No-Maintenance, cost-effective and efficient way to to

possible solutions.”

Else asked if Hanson could contact a lawyer and ind out if there is a way to ine nuisance violators monthly and, when it hits a certain amount, it goes to court and they either have to ix up the property or sell it.

“These have been standing for years. They take away from our school and VT. We need housing in our community to attract new people. I’m offering my time to do phone calling

or whatever else is needed to ind a solution. There are three within two blocks of my home,” said Debby.

“We’ve lived in our home 23 years and have had to look at this property for more than 10 years. It’s got a busted water line and it’s chockfull of stuff, making it potentially a ire hazard. We’ve offered to buy the property and tear it down so there is a vacant lot available (continued on page 2)

The homecoming court included, from left, Michael Streed, Jordyn Fredericks, Chase Devitt, Abbi Ullrich, Isaac Endrulat, Bethany Rehse, Daltyn Swanger (king), Bailey Ullrich (queen), Ryan Bumann, Calli Wareham, Ty Warnke and Madison Lansink.

more about — (continued from front page) but been told no,” said Tom. “Could you change our ordinance to add stiffer monthly ines?” asked Debby Else. “I’m not trying to be ornery or mean. I just want to get these properties cleaned up so they are available for people wanting to move to town.”

Councilman Joel Wellendorf asked about red tagging houses like city’s do.

“We’d have to hire or contract with an inspector,” responded Hanson.

Hanson said, “I included a letter from attorney Joseph Heidenreich pertaining to another nuisance property. There are two options for the city, and both are very expensive. I need direction from the council on what you want. Do you want to change our ordinance?”

The consensus of the council was to check with the city attorney about changing the ordinance.

For the fourth monthly meeting, the council discussed ATV, Gator, off-road utility vehicle (OHV) use in the city limits.

Iowa State Trooper Charlie Luke was present to answer questions pertaining to offroad utility vehicle regulations.

He noted, unless the city or county has an ordinance that supersedes the state regulations, it’s illegal to drive ATVs or OHVs in town or country unless they are used for agrelated purposes.

Recreational vehicle owners and operators on public ice, designated public riding trails and areas and Department of Natural Resources (DNR)designated OHV parks, including use in conjunction with a disabled hunting permit, must register their machines with the DNR. Drivers must be 16 and have a valid driver’s license.

Luke told the council ATV regulations are extremely dif icult to enforce.

“Right now, with your current city ordinance, it is illegal to drive an ATV in the city limits or on county roads. It’s illegal to use them for snow removal (except on your personal property), to haul brush out to the city dump pile or drive them around town for pleasure or for errands,” said Luke.

“I have a Gator. I use it for my business. I have insurance, a

. . . Holstein council valid driver’s license, lights and brakes. I drive it to the shop every day, to my mom’s or to pick up groceries on my way home.

If I break a law driving it, it’s no different than breaking a law driving my car,” said Levi Grif in.

Luke said, “You can adopt an ordinance requiring moped lags, slow-moving vehicle signs, restrictions on what streets they can be used on and limiting passengers. They are very hard to see, their tires aren’t designed for city streets, they are designed for gravel.

Changing the ordinance lays it on your shoulders.”

Grif in commented that Cherokee permits ATV use in its city limits. Residents apply for permits, pay a permit fee and provide their driver’s license and proof of insurance.

Hanson said, “The Cherokee Police Department does all the work. They check that the driver’s license is valid, collect the permit fee, issue the permit stickers and verify insurance. Their fee is increasing to $50 Jan. 1, as the current $25 doesn’t cover all the costs.”

“If we are going to change our ordinance, we need to make it worth our while,” said councilperson Mary Gross.

“How do you make it fair for the person that is doing it right?” asked councilperson Bonnie Stevenson.

“My concern is doing the extra work and why do it, if we can’t get the sheriff’s department to issue tickets?” said Hanson.

Councilman Rod Regennitter said he’d like to see the council change the ordinance and address permitting their use in city limits, establishing permit fees, address passengers, licensing, insurance, lighting, etc.

Hanson said, “You have three options: leave it alone, change the ordinance or get more information.”

“The weak point is enforcement,” said Wellendorf. “We need to get Sheriff Wade Harriman here to discuss enforcement of the ordinance we have.”

The council directed Hanson to invite Sheriff Harriman to attend the next regular meeting.

City maintenance supervisor Scott Niemeier reported a delay in soliciting bids to replace

the 1998 Chevy 3500 truck.

Once the appropriate information is available, he’d like the council to act on bids to replace the truck. He noted it would take 60 to 90 days to get a new truck and ive weeks to get a new box for the truck.

Niemeier told the council Acco looked at the condition of the plaster under the gutter at the pool and is preparing cost estimates for repairs. Niemeier said, “It’s important to do the patching in the spring. We may have to hold off on painting the patched areas until the following year.”

Niemeier noted they are doing fall work: tree trimming, lushing water lines and street sweeping. There have been some issues with the street sweeper and he suggested sending it in this winter to have all the hoses checked and replaced. He reminded residents to not blow leaves out in the street.

The council approved the planning and zoning commission’s recommendation to change the zoning of 515 and 615 West Second St. from agricultural to light industrial.

The planning and zoning commission met Sept. 7 to consider the zoning request by Dave and Bonnie Stevenson and came up with the recommendation.

Stevenson abstained from the vote.

As a condition of receiving federal inancial assistance from the Federal Highway Administration, the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) is required to establish and implement a Title VI program that ensures nondiscrimination in its programs, services and activities.

Hanson said, “As a recipient, the City of Holstein must adhere to regulations for Title VI of the Civil Right Act. Tracey Bradley, af irmative action compliance of icer, Iowa DOT, will be in Holstein Oct. 10 to conduct an audit, and several items must be approved prior to her visit.”

The council adopted the following items to prepare for the audit: DOT Title VI Assurances, DOT Title VI Non-discrimination Agreement, DOT Title VI Policy, appointed Hanson as ADA compliance of icer and as the LPA coordinator.

Pool report Pool manager Donna Bremer presented the summer 2017 pool operation report. She noted attendance was 6,333, which was down approximately 800 from last year. Income from daily admissions, season tickets, lessons, rentals and concessions totaled $14,536.

Bremer noted there were no serious accidents or incidents at the pool. She also provided information on Red Cross lessons, supplemental programs, staff, water standards and the pool inspection.

Items to be considered for repair, replacement or purchase in 2018 included: plastering and painting the pool shell, continue deck patching, paint ceiling of the main room in the bath house, check bath house water heater, replace backboard, replace time clock, purchase two new rescue tubes, replace umbrellas on tables inside the pool fence and replace picnic tables outside for concession use.

Taxi report There were 250 rides with 689 stops for 20 days of driving in September. The taxi was closed one day for a holiday, there was one day with no school, one day with no Wee Wisdom Preschool and one day with a two-hour late school start.

In other business, the council approved the inal draft of the city’s comprehensive plan, the city’s annual inance report, renewal of Holstein Super Market’s Class C beer and Sunday sale permit and renewal of Backdraft Bar and Grill’s Class C liquor and Sunday Sales permit.

Councilman Danny Gebers was absent.

(continued from front page) to how it is treated than it is on a speci ic breed, but some people do train their dogs to be vicious.

“I think that stereotype (about pit bulls) is there for a reason. People do train them to be vicious because of their breed. The irst time someone has a pit bull get loose and bites someone, the city would be in trouble.”

Johnson again referred to the city ordinance about vicious animals.

“That ordinance is correct and it should be there. However, I think Ida Grove is pretty laid back. I don’t see gangs coming here or someone coming here to train dogs to ight.”

Councilman Gregor Ernst noted, if the city were to allow pit bulls, there may have to be some safeguards put in place, such as muzzling the dogs when they are out in the public or requiring the dog owners to carry liability insurance on the dogs.

The council took no action on Johnson’s request.

Johnson thanked the council for allowing her to make her request and that the council would continue to take a look at the matter and consider it.

In other business •Ernst said he would look into developing a tree planting policy for the city.

The council is concerned about the possible impact the emerald ash borer may have if it is discovered in the city and the loss of other trees in the city right-of-way that haven’t been replaced in recent years.

It was noted about 100 trees in the right-of-way have been removed in recent years and only two have been replaced.

In addition, 11 trees will be removed in the city park in the coming weeks.

•The council reviewed the need for volunteers to serve on the Board of Adjustment and the Planning and Zoning Committee. Currently, there are two members on the adjustment board and four on planning and zoning. Each board needs ive members.

. . . Lufts return home

(continued from front page) was terrifying.”

The Lufts’ story begins in the neon lounge, a club section, off to the side, with their backs toward Mandalay Bay hotel.

Dr. Luft says, “It was the last show of the three-day festival. We were tuckered out from the three-day festival, so we decided the main shows we wanted to see were Jake Owen and headliner Jason Aldean. We went there at 6 p.m. to see Jake Owen, and Jason Aldean was to come after him about 9:40 p.m.

“We weren’t in general admission, where people were sitting on the ground. We were in an elevated tent area that you took stairs to go up inside. It was about 60 yards long and open toward the open seating. We had reserve stadium-style seating and were able to enjoy the concerts, use the restrooms and have cocktails and food in this area.”

“Jason Aldean was on his third or fourth song, about 20 minutes into the show, when I heard loud popping, really loud. I thought someone had dropped irecrackers right behind us. Sara and I turned around and looked at each other like, ‘who would be lighting off ireworks?’ We knew it wasn’t coming from the stage because the sound was behind us.

“Las Vegas Boulevard was maybe 30 to 40 yards behind us, but we couldn’t see it because there was a big tent, a makeshift building. It all started after the irst ive to 10 minutes’ of real loud pops. It was rapid iring, and then we knew it was someone shooting. We saw two people just collapse eight to 10 rows in front of us, off to the side. At irst, I thought they fainted or dropped their beer. We hit the ground right away, and I covered on top of my wife as we pushed under our seats as far as we could. After the irst wave of shots, there was a minute or two reprieve, and then we saw two gentlemen running down the aisle, carrying a woman iremen-style. She had blood everywhere. I still didn’t realize what was going on, and then it all started again. This time, you could hear ricochets and bullets whizzing by and hitting things.”

During the course of the festival, Luft said they were able to talk to people in their section during intermissions. One of these men had served in the Army on a couple tours in Afghanistan.

Luft said, “When the shooting started, he was running up toward the clubhouse, telling people to stay down. I think he was worried there were active shooters coming. He’d crouch down and kept turning around to tell people to stay down. It was pretty frightening.

“I kept telling Sara we can’t move, we have to stay here. This man told everyone ‘they’re (the shooters) going to reload; when they stop iring, get up and follow me.’ We got up to the club level, and everyone dropped to the ground and belly crawled the length of the club. We got to the stairs, and there were police with guns drawn at the bottom of the stairs. When I looked at the bottom of the stairs, I saw my second victim lying in a pool of blood. People were trying to do CPR on her; she had an obvious large head wound.

“We got down there and, when we were going to cross the venue, your instinct was to go toward Las Vegas Boulevard. The police told us we couldn’t go that way, because there was a shooter out here. They pointed us to the back of the venue. We took off running toward the back. About that time, there was a whole stam-

pede of people that ran into us. We were going one way, and they were coming across us and knocked Sara off her feet. She went to the ground and then the gun ire started all over again, into the crowd we were in. That was pretty scary. I grabbed Sara and I said, we have to get out of here. I picked her up and started running to some bleachers in the back.

“I don’t remember gun ire after that, but there was a lot of yelling and screaming. They had a lot of fences and barricades in there. It was like a fair or festival. There were a lot of food vendors and different areas where people had different levels of tickets to enjoy the shows. You could see bodies everywhere.

“It looked like someone had pulled out a fence with a pickup truck to make an opening. People were iling out of there. It wasn’t a normal walkway because it was full of hoses and big electrical cords. It was a little corridor that we were using, because you were behind the cover of a big set of bleachers. When we were under the bleachers, there were people that were wounded. We got out a couple times to help people that couldn’t walk. There was a lady that they were trying to get her through there, but you couldn’t put a wheelchair through there. We helped them lift her wheelchair to the back.

“Quite honestly, there was so much confusion and melee. You didn’t know where to go or what to do. I didn’t know where the bullets were coming from. I thought there were active shooters inside the venue, running around shooting. We got through a hole in the fence and made it to the back of the Tropicana Casino.

“We were texting our kids when we were down in the seats and behind the bleachers.

We were praying and sending texts to all our kids that we loved them. When we got out, they were texting back. A few of the boys were listening to the Las Vegas scanner and telling us that there were more active shooters in different casinos, which later turned out to be false.

But, those were the reports coming in over the scanner, and so they would tell us where they were, so we’d avoid those. We’d go from one casino to another. All we wanted to do was get back to our room at the Vdara. We inally made it back two and a half hours after the shooting had started.”

A lot of people are talking about the need for gun control. His response, “I own guns, and I served in the military. I believe in personal responsibility. I still hold to the belief that it’s people – it’s how we act and behave. I honestly believe taking God out of the school and less in people’s daily lives is part of the problem. People make bad decisions. I really think there’s probably no need for automatic weapons or the bump stocks. We are advanced enough as a society that a lot of those things probably aren’t necessary, but I still think it really comes down to people making good decisions.

“One thing that I thought was amazing was the response of the police and ire departments. I could not believe how fast they responded. Honestly, it was amazing how they were up against amazing odds. Everyone was running away from it, and they were running at it trying to help people. You could also tell there were a lot of military personnel in the crowd. There were a lot of men who took charge and were directing people. I care for people; I don’t know anything about how to move them. All I knew was I needed to run.”

Arthur council handles light agenda The Arthur City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance amending mowing and snow removal charges during its meeting Oct. 2.

The first reading of the ordinance raising the mowing charges to $75 per time and the snow removal charges to $75 was approved.

Assistant Fire Chief Chris Schuett reported the fire department had no calls during September but had assisted the EMR with three calls during the month.

Under council concerns, it was reported that the fire department wouldn’t fill

from the hydrant before the meter because it is not easy to get to. The council will see if West Central Rural Water can move that hydrant so it would be easier for the fire department to fill the trucks.

Council member Schuett also reported MidAmerican Energy would not let him trim his trees in the parking. He has to wait for them to trim his trees due to the overhead wires.

Librarian Pat Bell updated the council on the recent happenings in the library and told the council there would be a Halloween Party on Oct. 28. She also reported there

had been no progress on getting gutters installed.

Under the maintenance report, Leland Anderson and Paul Arbegast cleaned concrete and iron from the dump.

Dan Roeder and crew were acknowledged for hauling away the concrete and a portion of the ash pile. Anderson and Arbegast also trimmed trees and removed the voluntary trees from the dump area. The storm gutters were also cleaned out. Arbegast sharpened the blades of the mower, changed the oil and greased the mower.

There were two delinquent accounts reported.

Soles4Souls campaign nets 221 pairs of shoes Sole 2 Soul in Galva recently partnered up with Soles4Souls, a Nashville based nonpro it organization, to collect gently used shoes to help disadvantaged people across the United States and the world.

The month long shoe drive in September netted 221 pairs of shoes from residents of Galva and surrounding communities. All sizes, shapes,

colors and styles of shoes were received.

On Oct. 6, local Soles4Souls ambassador Anne Johnson, owner of Sole 2 Soul, delivered numerous boxes and oversized bags of shoes and a small monetary donation to a Sheldon warehouse facility where the shoes will be quickly processed for delivery.

“I am continually amazed and overwhelmed at the wonderful response we have had to this annual shoe drive for the past four years,” said Johnson. “I am thankful to everyone who donated shoes and am humbled by the support we received from northwest Iowa to help less fortunate souls during this 2017 harvest season,” she added.

VT Industries Inc. sets plant expansion ribbon cutting VT Industries has set an organizational ribbon cutting ceremony, open to the press, for Nov. 8, to mark the of icial opening of the newly constructed expansion at its Holstein architectural wood door manufacturing facility.

The industry leading company will also host an employee appreciation luncheon that day to thank employees for their hard work and dedication.

Ground was broken in the fall of 2016 for an 82,000 square foot addition in an effort to increase manufacturing capacity for lush architectural wood doors.

The addition accommodates the relocation of the face material warehouse as well as expanding capacity to continue to deliver on VT’s industry leading ixed leadtime strategy. As a part of the expansion, VT also renovated their existing production facility, constructed a new parking area, brought an additional 60 jobs to the area and will be adding a building adjacent to the current facility for the automation team in the near future.

G-H Elementary reading: Junior and senior members of the Ridge View football team spent time reading to Galva-Holstein Elementary students Sept. 29. Here, senior Trent Moeller reads to a group of youngsters.

Out of the Past Forty years ago Battle Creek and Galva school of icials have settled the controversy that followed a football game between the two schools Sept. 16 in Battle Creek. Battle Creek Superintendent LeRoy Ortman and Galva Superintendent Floyd Ruhl agree that the action of the football players on the ield and fans on both sides were improper. Both schools have disciplined the players involved, and local residents are being asked to consider the situation an unfortunate incident that shouldn’t have happened.

Homecoming royalty are selected at Battle Creek and Odebolt-Arthur. At Battle Creek, Joyce Modrell and Brian Bond were crowned king and queen. At O-A, Kris Hemer and Bill Fertig reigned over homecoming activities.

Thirty years ago The new shelter house at the Battle Creek City Park is completed. The 22x24 structure features an 8x8 restroom and 8x8 storage room. Local fundraisers collected $3,200 for the project, with that amount matched by Aid Association for Lutherans. Bob Wilcke donated 20 percent of

the labor, and volunteer help from AAL was used in getting the shelter completed in nine days.

With additional equipment being installed this week at the Ida County Sheriff’s Department, Ida Grove of icials will meet there Oct. 12 to discuss the next steps for putting the 911 emergency number in operation. The 911 number should be in full operation in Ida Grove later this month.

Twenty years ago Tara Feddersen and Nick Davenport were crowned BC-IG queen and king during homecoming coronation Thursday.

Jennifer Fell and Nick Jensen were crowned Galva-Holstein queen and king during homecoming coronation Thursday.

A grand opening of Ida Grove’s Pleasant Valley Trail is slated for next Sunday with a ribbon cutting and a variety of other activities. Those attending the grand opening will be surveyed on future additions to the trail.

Barb and Bill Wood of Galva have purchased the grocery store in Galva from Lyle and Jan Schaffer of Galva. Main Street Market opened Monday and will continue to offer the

basic necessities and several convenience items for store customers.

Ten years ago Dusty Krager and Eric Hanson were crowned BC-IG queen and king during homecoming coronation Thursday.

Adam Parker and Megan Schwanz were crowned Galva-Holstein queen and king during homecoming coronation Thursday.

Thirty-seven Holstein residents turned out to Monday’s city council meeting to comment on the new East Ridge Addition located east of the Holstein golf course. Most of those attending were against increases in taxes and fees to fund the development. Godbersen-Smith Construction of Ida Grove submitted a bid of $696,803 to provide infrastructure improvements for 39 lots in Phase One of the development. The council noted the citizens’ concerns, but said the development is important for the economic development of the community.

In separate meetings, the BC-IG and Odebolt-Arthur School Boards reviewed the football sharing agreement, which will take effect with the 2008 season.

Letter to the Editor To the editor: October is Cooperative Month. Iowa’s farm and grain supply cooperatives employ nearly 6,500 Iowans across the state. These farmerowned businesses account for $11.5 billion in annual sales. Cooperatives in Iowa have an annual payroll of $352 million, including benefits.

At Landus Cooperative, we are proud to do business in more than 60 communities across Iowa. Each year, we purchase approximately 170 million bushels of corn and soybeans from Iowa and Minnesota farmers. Our agrono-

mists and applicators tend to land equivalent to the size of the state of Delaware.

During Cooperative Month, Landus Cooperative is celebrating what makes us unique. No other cooperative or agronomy retailer touches every step in the soybean supply chain as we do. Our team selects soybean genetics for the AcreEdge® seed our farmer-members plant, purchase and store those soybeans during harvest and then process them into a value-added global branded dairy feed product (SoyPlus®) which enhances patronage opportunities for

all cooperative members.

We invite you to watch the story of this full-cycle cooperative advantage in a new video on our website, LandusCooperative.com. It represents the cooperative spirit, a spirit which is not possible without our nearly 7,000 farmer-owners or our nearly 600 employees.

During October’s Cooperative month and this harvest season, we say “thank you” for entrusting us to connect soybeans to farmers and dairymen, who connect us all to the land.

Milan R. Kucerak CEO, Landus Cooperative

Pfc. Tyler Sohm of Battle Creek was part of approximately 70 Iowa Army National Guard Soldiers recently recognized during a patching ceremony held at the Camp Dodge Joint Maneuver Training Center in Johnston.

The ceremony represents a time-honored tradition, where Iowa Citizen-Soldiers of icially receive the left-shoulder military patch representing their unit of assignment in the Iowa Army National Guard.

It also marks completion of the Iowa National Guard Recruit Sustainment Program, a preparatory training program that provides new recruits the education and skills needed to excel during their Army Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training (military school).

Pfc. Tyler Sohm Sohm, a 2017 graduate of Odebolt-Arthur/Battle CreekIda Grove High School, now becomes a motor transport operator with the Detachment 2, 1168th Transportation Company of Audubon.

Motor transport operators are primarily responsible

for supervising or operating wheeled vehicles to transport personnel and cargo. They are the backbone of the Army’s support and sustainment structure, providing advanced mobility on and off the battle ield.

“I want to continue to give back to my community and to make the people around me proud,” Sohm said.

Sohm, son of Joe Sohm of Danbury and Tonya Hein of Battle Creek, is also eligible for the Reserve Component GI Bill, which pays a soldier $600 per month while attending college, technical or vocational trade schools. And, he’ll also receive monthly drill pay and 15 days of paid duty each year for annual training.

by Cary K. and Victoria Conover Alas, the torch has been passed. The former Rosemary Clausen Center for Performing Arts reviewer emeritus, Christine Wiese, has hung up her pen and notepad. Her seven-year tenure set the bar “incredibly high,” as noted by one Clausen Center Foundation member. Well, you’re not going to have to worry about that again. I, along with my own incredible reviewer and spouse, Victoria, will be bringing you the narrative from each performance. So, let’s get started.

The Clausen Center seemed aglow with electricity as the patrons awaited the introduction of Suzy Bogguss, the evening’s star attraction. Theatergoers seemed as excited as a three-year-old running with a pair of scissors. And well they should. Taking a page from the playbook of Pavlov’s salivating dogs, the ticket holders have learned over the previous 49 performances that they were soon to be richly rewarded with a top-notch, irst-class experience.

Bogguss, the acclaimed CMA, ACM and Grammy award-winning singer, brought her entire treasury of collective experiences for her Holstein performance. Whether performing for a command performance at the White House or the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, or Regis and Kelly, or Holstein’s own Clausen Center, she truly is the consummate entertainer. The two gloves it the hand perfectly with her accompanists: a double bass player, Charlie, and Craig, a country western acoustic guitar player from a small island off the northern Scotland coast (I know, weird).

Hailing from a “corn ield town” just across the river in Illinois, with her brother who played football for the University of Iowa, Bogguss spent almost ive years living in a camper, traveling the country as a troubadour. With her dad as a machinist for International Harvester, where her growing up years included snipe-hunting, Bogguss was

the perfect it for the Clausen Center’s eighth year kick-off.

From the very irst song, Bogguss had us, I mean lock, stock and barrel, had us. A rich, alto voice that was perfectly suited to storytelling served her well. Her melodies were honest and true: “you change just like the weather,” her vocal stories revealing: “I’m fallin’ for a cowboy in a Coupe de Ville,” her endearing small town qualities seeping throughout every song: “I make the little spider cookies at Halloween and everything.”

As she referenced our “intimate audience,” she let loose with many stories to entertain, but also to give us her insight and perceptions.

Bogguss has had a life-long love of Merle Haggard’s music and did a tribute album to Haggard called “Lucky” from which she performed the title cut, “I Always Get Lucky with You” – a haunting, smoky, grabat-your-gut piece of satisfaction. “These are meaty melodies, meaty stories,” she says of his songs. “I love sinking my teeth into them.” Well, if Haggard provides the meat, Bogguss provides the dessert. By the way, I always thought Mr. Haggard had a dual name: one was his moniker and the other described the way he looked.

The audience was treated to a beautiful guitar solo in the song, “Today I Started Loving You Again.” And the tribute included the perfunctory “Let’s Chase Each Other Round the Room Tonight.”

As a frequent guest on PBS “A Prairie Home Companion” with Garrison Keillor, Bogguss toured with him in 2009.

A Keillor trademark was an audience sing-a-long. This led to heart-gripping, emotiongrabbing songs that pull you in as if Bogguss was a vacuum and the audience were spilled Cheerios: songs included the gorgeous “Oh Shenandoah” and “Red River Valley” and “I am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger.” You couldn’t not feel both the empathy and the jubilation from her offerings. At one point in the show, the house lights came up and absolutely everyone was focused on Bog-

guss with rapt attention, not so much as anyone scratching their personal itch, people leaning forward, she had us.

Her lip side gave us toetapping, knee-slapping, ye haw songs like “Drive South” and “I Want to be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart” with a little bit of yodeling thrown in for good measure. Her ability to transform and pull us into her musical world made her mesmerizing.

This writer was able to talk with Bogguss at the conclusion of her performance, and she left me with these thoughts about the Rosemary Clausen Center for Performing Arts facility: “You can have anybody here, playing in that auditorium, anyone that you want in the whole wide world . . . you can bring in any entertainment you want.” High praise from someone who has seen it all and done most of it (just kidding).

Remember the “electric glow” from the beginning of the concert? Well, it followed everyone out of the auditorium, into their cars, and lasted throughout the ensuing hours, days, and weeks. Well done, Suzy Bogguss.

SPORTS Garrigan nips Raptors in over me

Photo by: Mike Thornhill | Ida County Courier

Out of bounds: O-A/BC-IG’s Cooper DeJean came close to scoring a touchdown just before halftime of the Falcons game with AHSTW, but DeJean’s foot was just out of bounds when he caught the ball. O-A/BC-IG lost its homecoming game Saturday 54-14.

Vikings spoil Falcon homecoming AHSTW defeated O-A/ BC-IG 54-14 in the Falcons’ homecoming contest in Ida Grove. The game was played Saturday after being postponed on Friday due to rain and wet field conditions.

The Vikings never trailed in the district contest after scoring on their first two possessions of the game. The first score came on a 16-yard pass and two-point run at the 10:07 mark of the first quarter. The second touchdown was a 54-yard run and PAT kick with 8:56 to go in the opening quarter.

Falcon coach Larry Allen noted the Vikings’ ability to score early has been their modus operandi this season.

“We knew this would be a tough game,” said Allen.

“AHSTW is the type of team that starts fast. We had to control that and as it turned out we didn’t do a good job of that right away. We gave up a couple of big plays and they scored on us.

“We did do some good things. We moved the ball at times and had a situation (after AHSTW’s second score) where we had first and goal at the nine and couldn’t score.

We had an opportunity to get closer, which if that had happened it may have changed the momentum for us.”

O-A/BC-IG mounted a drive after the Vikings second score, but the scoring threat ended on downs at the AHSTW 13-yard line.

The Falcon defense held the Vikings deep in their own territory and forced a punt. On the punt attempt the ball was snapped over the AHSTW punter’s head and rolled out of the back of the end zone for a two-point safety with 4:15 to play in the opening quarter. The first quarter ended with AHSTW up 15-2.

AHSTW built a 25-2 lead by midway in the second quarter on a 22-yard run and PAT kick and a 33-yard field goal.

At the 5:12 mark of the second the two teams exchanged turnovers on backto-back plays. The end result

gave O-A/BC-IG the ball at the Viking 35-yard line. O-A/ BC-IG marched the ball inside the one-yard line where Kaden Ladwig got into the end zone on a quarterback keeper with 2:04 to go before halftime. The two-point pass was no good.

Trailing 25-8, the Falcons pulled to within 25-14 with 1:02 to play in the second quarter when Ryan Bumann recovered a Viking muffed punt in the end zone for six points. The two-point pass attempt was incomplete.

The Falcons’ excitement at pulling to within 25-14 was short lived as AHSTW scored on an eight-yard run and PAT kick with 33 seconds to go before halftime. The touchdown was set up by a 56yard run that took the ball from AHSTW’s 35-yard line to O-A/BC-IG’s nine-yard line.

The first half dramatics were not over as the Falcons put together a scoring threat in the remaining seconds of the first half. As time expired O-A/BC-IG’s Cooper DeJean caught a pass in the back of the end zone, but one foot came down just out of bounds.

AHSTW owned a 32-14 lead at halftime. In the second half, the Vikings scored touchdowns on a 15-yard run and three-yard pass in the third quarter and an 11yard pass in the fourth quarter.

O-A/BC-IG had a scoring threat with just less than two minutes left in the game, but AHSTW stopped the threat by intercepting a pass at its own nine-yard line.

Allen said one of the differences in the game was AHSTW’s athleticism.

“They are a very athletic group,” said Allen. “With so many weapons on the field, it makes it difficult to slow them down. We tried to limit the running of the quarterback, and make them become more one dimensional, but their QB is very good and made it hard for us to control him.”

AHSTW featured a bal-

anced offense with 247 yards rushing and 245 yards passing. O-A/BC-IG was held to 82 rushing yards and 90 passing yards.

The loss dropped O-A/BCIG’s overall record to 4-3 and to 2-3 in the district. AHSTW stayed unbeaten at 7-0 and 5-0.

This Friday, the Falcons travel to Guthrie Center to play ACGC (1-6/0-5). O-A/ BC-IG will closeout the regular season with a home game against Treynor on Oct. 20.

Algona Garrigan handed Ridge View a 26-20 district football loss in overtime Saturday in Algona. The game was slated for Friday, but was postponed due to rain and wet ield conditions.

Ridge View rallied from a 20-6 de icit with 6:45 to play in the game to send the contest to overtime.

“I was really proud of the boys; they played hard and never gave up,” said coach Dale Tokheim. “We had some tough breaks all game, and we overcame those to give ourselves a chance.

“In the second half, we just had too many mistakes offensively. Penalties that killed our drives, combined with a bad punt and an interception, gave them great ield position.

“Our defense played a great game; Garrigan just hit a couple of timely passes, and we had some tough calls against us that extended their drives.”

Ridge View got on the board irst on an 11-play, 68-yard drive on the Raptors’ second possession of the game. The touchdown came on a 10yard pass from Jake Tokheim to Logan Cuthrell with 22 seconds left in the irst quarter.

The PAT kick failed.

Garrigan scored the next 20 points. The run started with a 30-yard touchdown pass and two-point run at the 3:55 mark of the second quarter.

In the third quarter, Garrigan scored on a four-yard run with 7:18 to play in the quarter. The try for two points failed. Garrigan had a

short ield to work with on the score, as they got the ball on Ridge View’s 20-yard line following an 18-yard Raptor punt.

Garrigan also had good ield position on its next score after they came up with an interception. The turnover was converted into six points on a one-yard run with 6:21 left in the game. The try for two points failed.

“We went to a spread shotgun when we went down two scores and scored twice to tie the game,” noted coach Tokheim.

Ridge View began its comeback on a 15-play, 84-yard drive that resulted in a 35yard pass from Tokheim to Jake Mitchell at the 2:14 mark of the fourth quarter.

Trailing 20-14, Ridge View recovered the ensuing onside kickoff. The Raptors then drove 41 yards on eight plays to tie the game at 20-20. The touchdown came on a 10-yard pass from Tokheim to Lance Else with 11 seconds left in the game. The extra point try was no good.

In overtime, Ridge View won the toss and chose to go on defense. Garrigan scored a touchdown on a one-yard run on fourth and goal. The twopoint pass was incomplete.

On its possession in OT, the Raptors were faced with a fourth and goal from the sixyard line. On the fourth down play, Garrigan managed to get a hand on the pass, which caused the ball to pop up in the air where Ridge View’s Lance Else nearly caught the de lection.

“It was a great game and a lot of fun to be a part of,” noted coach Tokheim. “In the end, we just didn’t make enough plays to win. The difference in the game was they got one or two more big plays than we did. Plus, ield position in the second half hurt us, which was partly due to some untimely penalties.”

Tokheim called the game a great team effort. Now, the focus will shift to M-M-C/R-U (1-6/1-4), who the Raptors play in Holstein this Friday.

“We are 4-3 overall and 3-2 in the district,” noted Tokheim. “We will have to win out and win big to have any shot at one of the two wildcard spots.”

“West Monona played very well,” noted Ridge View coach Monica Bloyer. “Besides staying very aggressive at the net, they put up a strong block and played great defense. We had a tough time closing a block and getting set on defense. Missing our injured middle blocker Beth Pickhinke made a big difference in the tempo of the game and our effectiveness offensively.

“Gracie Chance and Kennedy Mason did an excellent job for us inding ways to score. Cloe Droegmiller and Kenzee Wunschel also did a nice job illing in and making some big plays.

Beth Meyer and Erin Johnson had good passing and defense late in the game.

“Setters Madeline Else and Emerson Else always give 100 percent on every play so they were able to keep a lot of plays alive for us. We just need to work on our communication when both of them are on the loor.”

Stats from the match were not available at press time.

Pheasant Forever donation: Ida County Pheasants Forever board members, from left, Gaylen Freese, Mike Vondrak and Rusty Sadler present a $2,500 check to Ridge View archery coach Justin Kinney.

Ida County Pheasants Forever donates $2,500 to Ridge View archery Archers at Ridge View High School received a special gift last week.

Ida County Pheasants Forever donated $2,500 to the year-old archery program at the high school.

The donation will provide the archery team with the ability to purchase equipment so they are able to host archery tournaments this upcoming season. Archery teams throughout the state use their tournaments as a means to raise money for their programs.

“Ida County Pheasants Forever is one of the leading chapters in the nation for youth education and we see this as a great opportunity to expand that youth education locally. We hold true to the motto ‘No Child Left Indoors’

and aim to fulfill it,” said Pheasants Forever board member Rusty Sadler.

“We’re very grateful for our local Pheasants Forever chapter and their support.

We share the same vision as they do – engage today’s kids in outdoor-related activities and skills in hopes that it becomes an integral part of their life,” said archery coach Justin Kinney. “With Pheasants Forever’s donation our students and school will be able to do things this season that otherwise we would be unable to do (such as purchasing new equipment and hosting tournaments).”

“We want to help students be introduced to alternative sports and outdoor activities. We view this as a great opportunity to achieve this,”

Sadler stated.

“Last year was our first year having an archery team and while we had sufficient equipment to practice and compete elsewhere, we did not have what we needed to host our own tournaments, which will produce a lot of revenue for our team. It is also nice to have tournaments at our high school so those in our school and community can attend and be exposed to archery,” stated Kinney. “It is such a great activity for people of all ages and skill sets. This year we’re adding a middle school team and we hope in the future to add an elementary team as well.”

Sadler noted, “We cannot think of a better place to put our fundraising efforts and we appreciate what Ridge View is doing.”

In Iowa there are three divisions students can compete in: high school (grades nine12), middle school (grades six-eight), and elementary (grades three-five).

The Raptor archery season begins in November. Ridge View will be hosting two tournaments this year: Jan. 20 and Feb. 17.

Derek (Lisa); Sarah (Aubrey), Alyssa (Martin), Whitney (Christopher) and Meggie (Steve).

From his grandchildren, there are seven greatgrandchildren: Lucy, Copper, Drew, Everett, Ollie, Ambria and Genevieve.

Caring for his farm and family were Gerald’s pride and joy. A true love and respect for animals bound Gerald to a rewarding livelihood of farming, cattle and hogs. On his farm, he also welcomed many pets.

Gerald raised corn and hay every growing season and took great pride in the care and meticulous grooming of his ields. In his retirement, he enjoyed reading the news, watching TV and viewing squirrels eating and playing on the tree perch just outside the front window. He also took much pleasure in having afternoon coffee in the company of friends uptown at Cheeta’s.

We celebrate the life of Gerald Meeves, an honest, hard-working man with a kind manner and a quiet heart.

Gerald is survived by his loving brother, Paul (Betty), and his sister, Jeanette.

He was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers-in-law, August Jr., Milfred and Roger; three nephews, Rodney, Bryan and Tory; and a great-grandson, Hawk.

A special contest among area beer clubs will take place at 4 p.m. on Oct. 21. Six or seven clubs have indicated they will participate in entering one IPA-style beer in the contest.

Brew-pub beers will be judged in a special judges’ seminar held at 7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Ida Grove Golf Course.

ducted in the same location at the same time.

Amateur wine and beer maker entries will be accepted starting at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 22. Judging will begin at 1 p.m. at the Ida Grove Country Club. Entries will close one hour before the event starts.

Last year, there were 48 brew pub beers from Des Moines, Boone, Ankeny, Glenwood, Omaha, Neb., Woodbine, Sioux City and Sioux Falls, S.D. More brew pubs have opened this past year, and the club is looking at a few more entries in the commercial division of its contest.

Four sisters sew labor of love for African girls Nelda Nelson of Storm Lake, Dianne Petty of Norwalk, Linda Raveling of Omaha, Neb., and Janice Nelson of Ida Grove sew dresses for young girls in Uganda under a program called “Little Dresses for Africa.”

“The project involves sewing dresses for young girls in Uganda. We have made dresses from actual pillowcases, as well as cotton fabric. The style dresses have been include pillowcase dresses, lutter sleeve dresses and t-shirt dresses. Any simple dress pattern is ine to use. Little Dresses for Africa also collects shorts for boys. We have sewn shorts, as well as purchased elastic waist shorts, to send along with our dresses,” said Raveling.

Raveling continued, “I became involved in “Little Dresses for Africa” in the summer of 2015 when a neighbor lady spoke of sewing pillowcase dresses and doll clothes for this organization. She had become involved through friends from her church, who were missionaries serving in Uganda. Lori’s church took on the task of sewing pillowcase dresses for the young girls of Uganda to be sent with the missionaries.

“Approximately 50 undressed dolls had also been donated for the cause, and this is where it all began for me. Lori asked me to help her in sewing doll clothes. After the 50 dolls were dressed, ready for Uganda, I jumped on board sewing pillowcase dresses for girls. I enjoy sewing and this was a very worthwhile and rewarding project for me.”

Raveling said her sister, Nelda, was aware of the

dresses she was sewing but didn’t have a lot of details as to exactly what organization or where the dresses were going in Africa. In May 2017, Nelda was hospitalized in Omaha in critical condition.

“While sitting with her in the ICU she mentioned to me that she wanted to do what I do, and that was sewing dresses for little girls in Africa. With prayer and the skill of medical doctors, Nelda recovered. A short time later, she and I began planning a weekend when we would get together and start sewing dresses. My sister, Dianne, learned through an email conversation that Nelda and I were planning a sewing weekend Aug. 5 and 6. She offered to come and prepare and serve meals to us and help in any way she could,” said Raveling.

“As we arrived at Nelda’s residence in Storm Lake on a Saturday morning (Aug. 5), another sister, Janice, called Nelda to see what she was doing for the day. We informed Janice that we were having a sewing weekend. Shortly after the phone conversation, Janice drove to Storm Lake and joined us. So, then, there were four. And, this began as the irst of three weekends in which we have gotten together resulting in sewing a total of 119 dresses,” Raveling said.

“I have faced numerous health challenges the past six years (I’m am a six-year cancer survivor this month) and have had so many family and friends who have been there to help and support me during this time. When I was given a second chance at life this past summer, I felt God had some

plans for me yet. I wanted to ‘pay it forward’ for all the help I had been given, and the Little Dresses for Africa project has made me feel like I am paying it forward, doing something with a purpose and making a difference in the life of each girl or boy who receives one of these dresses or shorts. I can only imagine the smiles on those little faces,” said Nelda Nelson.

For their second sewing weekend, the sisters met in Norwalk where Dianne’s daughter, Sara Gladson, and Dianne’s neighbor, Marilyn Merrill, joined them in sewing dresses. Raveling said Marilyn has since recruited her family members to begin sewing dresses as well as Sara, a family and consumer science teacher at Martensdale - St. Mary’s.

“Sara is the teacher involved in FCCLA (Family Career and Community Leaders of America) and plans to have students sewing pillowcase dresses this spring as a service project. So, awareness of ‘The sisters’ Little Dresses for Africa’ project is growing,” Raveling said.

Their third sewing gathering was held in Ida

Grove, hosted by Janice. They gathered together a total of 100 dresses (an additional 19 from their irst get-together have already been delivered to Uganda) and 37 pair of shorts to be ready for the next delivery.

Raveling said, “We have had pillowcases and fabric given to us by friends who know of our dressmaking project, and we are very grateful for those donations. Each and every dress we sew will make a difference to a girl and bring a smile to her face.”

Any person interested in sewing a pillowcase dress (or any simple dress) can check out the website www.littledressesforafrica.org<http://www. littledressesforafrica.org>. A pattern for pillowcase dresses can be found under “Printables” on the Home page.

Shorts for boys and dolls in good condition are also in demand. Information is available on the website.

Raveling said a message from “Little Dresses for Africa” website says, “Together, we can make a difference...one little dress at a time. Mulungu akudalitseni. (God bless your good works).”

Eldoraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Haunted Hospital is ready for another season of scares

Specializing in Quality Post Frame Buildings Ask about our winter builds discount.

Travis K. Fischer Mid-America Publishing

October is here, which means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for things to get spooky in the Hawkeye State.

Throughout the month Iowa businesses, volunteer groups, and hobbyists will be hosting a wide range of Halloween themed events across the state. From kid friendly hay rides and corn mazes to creepy outdoor trails, zombie hunts, and, of course, haunted houses.

Among the most popular of these attractions is the Eldora Rotary Haunted Hospital. Set up in the unused east wing of the former Eldora Community Hospital, the local rotary club has turned their annual Halloween fundraiser into a major holiday event.

Opening up this year on Friday the 13th, the Haunted Hospital will give weekend visitors from now until Halloween a chance to tour the building and experience the elaborate sets designed to give them a fright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just want to scare the daylights out of people,â&#x20AC;? said Marc Anderson, a member of the Eldora Rotary club that has helped spearhead the Haunted Hospital event for the last six years.

Coming up with new scenarios each year to keep things fresh, Anderson and the rest of the rotary have become adept at designing frightening experiences. As visitors walk through the maze of dark hallways, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll encounter animatronic monsters, motion triggered screams, and live interactions as volunteers lie in wait to jump out when least expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best scare is the distracted scare,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your focus is over here and it comes from over there. We want to keep them on their toes.â&#x20AC;?

Of course while the goal is to make people scared, there is a balance to be kept between scaring somebody and disturbing them. While the Haunted Hospital may have dark rooms with ghouls and ghosts, the rotary club avoids more grounded horrors, such as suicide imagery, that might hit too close to home for visitors looking for a fun time. ´:H WU\ WR NHHS LW DOO Ă&#x20AC;FWLRQDO and fun,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson.

The event is set up to be adaptable for different age groups. For WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW KRXU RI WKH QLJKW \RXQJHU children can go through the hosSLWDO ZLWK Ă DVKOLJKWV ZKLFK QRW only gives the kids a bit of control over what they see, but signals the volunteers to take a lighter approach when jumping out for a scare.

The Haunted Hospital is also designed to be handicap accessible. Wheelchair bound visitors may have to bypass some of the claustrophobically narrow paths, but the rotary has built their attraction to make sure anybody can get a scary experience.

The Eldora Haunted Hospital will only be open for three weekends in October, but the work involved in preparing the event

BORN FROM 1945-1965?

Marc Anderson and Bernie the Skeleton are ready for another year of scares at the Eldora Haunted Hospital, opening on Friday the 13th. begins much earlier in the year.

Planning usually begins as early as July, with the rotary coming up with a theme for the event and plotting out which attractions will be changed or replaced.

Construction begins in August as volunteers work to build the winding maze of horrors. Temporary walls are set up and taken down as they wire motion sensors, strobe lights, and hidden cameras throughout the building.

By September, Anderson says he and others are practically living at the hospital, setting up all the KRUULĂ&#x20AC;F GHWDLOV EHIRUH WKHLU ELJ October opening.

Fortunately, the rotary club has plenty of help. Other community groups like the Lions Club and Masons along with area high school students and parents all join together to volunteer their time. At least a hundred volunteers are involved in setting up the attraction, and it takes about 35 people each night to run it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people from all over the community that volunteer to help,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson.

The community effort pays off.

Their work has also been recognized among their peers in the Haunted House community. For two years running, the Eldora Haunted Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positive reviews have earned it recognition as the Top Overall Attraction by IowaHauntedHouses.com, an online resource that compiles information about Halloween attractions across the state.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a humbling honor for the rotary, who have come a long way from simple dark rooms and masks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us to be recognized as top attraction, we were very grateful for that,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson.

In recent years the Haunted Hospital has drawn scare enthusiasts from across the state, and sometimes beyond the border.

With so many visitors it can take up to two hours to get through the line, the rotary keeps actors outside to entertain the crowd with a sort of pre-show before they go inside for the full experience.

As the crowds grow, the Eldora rotary is happy to continue their efforts to stay on the map as one of Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular Halloween attractions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our long term goal is to continue to do this as long as the people of Iowa appreciate it,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to continue to get a little bit bigger and a little bit better every year.â&#x20AC;?

THANK YOU: A huge THANK YOU to everyone who sent cards-texts-phone calls & personal messages on my 60th birthday. Thanks to my kids, grandkids, family & friends who helped me celebrate this big birthday milestone. My apologies about the photos in the paper--those were from a time & era long ago. There was a reason they were buried deep before someone broke into my house & stole them. I thought their mother taught them it is bad to break & enter? In March, 1981, Sandi & I moved into this community as a young (somewhat wild) couple with no idea where we were headed. Responsibility is a great thing! We were a young couple with a baby on the way---bought our first house in Arthur & soon to buy my fertilizer business.

Amazing what a child & a lot of debt will do to you. Then, 36 years later, you turn into an old guy! I have had a lot of great times & plenty of bad times, but I am so glad we came to this community to live & raise our family!! Thanks to everyone!

The Pee Wee Committee’s request for support in applying for a Sac County Endowment Grant to make their concession stand at the ball ields bigger and up to code was approved, pending submission of the building plan and permit.

The council also agreed to act as iscal agent for the grant funds, if they are received.

The Odebolt Museum’s request for city support of a Sac County Endowment Grant application to update wiring/lighting and tin ceiling for period appropriate lighting and ceiling was approved. The city also agreed to be the iscal sponsor, if the museum receives grant funds.

Fred List was present to explain his lean-to building permit application is for a temporary structure to protect his vehicle from hail. The council expressed concern about the use of light-weight extension cords, as ire hazard.

They asked List to contact MidAmerican Energy to see what their speci ications are on electrical.

The council asked List to decide if he was going to tear the structure down, or make it a permanent structure, and dig holes for posts to secure the lean-to and make it look presentable. List was to call city hall by Oct. 6 on what decision he made.

Rick Roeder was present to explain his permit applications in more detail. The council said the permits in place are only for the project noted on permit. He needs another permit to complete other projects on the same property.

The council also suggested that he inish the permit for Dean Davenport and that the sidewalk needs to be put back in Davenport’s parking. Roeder reported he would get it completed.

The following permits were approved: Roeder-driveway access across back of property, Roeder-remove steps and put in concrete patios, Travis Reis-addition to kitchen, Brent Lindgren-move in garage, Bill Tysor-patio, Larry Beckman Motors-new cement for parking cars.

Nuisance abatements were discussed. The council is waiting on new orders from the court on the Rigby house. The city attorney wants to look at the letter sent out for the nuisance on the downtown building before determining what to do next. Cat ish LLC has 90 days to determine if they want possession of the Bendixen house or not. The city council does not want to purchase it. A letter will be sent to Bergs to clean up their property.

Hoe ling informed the council about a new pilot program for abandoned housing that the city does not have possession of. The council thought the program might bene it houses, like the old Hattie Grace house. The city would be responsible of cleaning up brush and things in the yard.

George Sanders called to see if he had done enough on his volunteer trees. The council told him to trim his trees over the sidewalk and street. Sanders plans to transplant other volunteer trees to his acreage in the spring.

Snow removal bids were opened, and the council accepted the low bid of $230 from Pierce Construction for the 2017-18 snow removal season. Councilman Brian Pierce abstained.

One formal complaint about garbage being left out from Thursday after pick-up to the following week’s pick-up, allowing animals to get into and make a mess at the community apartments. A letter was sent to the landlord, and they are deciding if they should go with each

tenant having barrels or a dumpster.

An informal complaint was submitted about dogs leaving feces in non-dog owners’ yards. A complaint form was sent to the complainant to get more information and follow same process.

Delinquent water bills were discussed.

There is one bill that has never been fully paid up, and the city has tried to work with owner (only small payments are made and will not get caught up). The council stated the bill must be paid in full by Oct. 20 and must be kept up monthly or turn-off will occur. The city is willing to work with people, if they follow through with the payments agreed upon.

In other business, the council accepted the library report, approved a resolution to renew the investment and identity theft policies and set trick or treating for Oct. 31 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Utilities’ report Superintendent of Utilities Bill Tysor reported the ire department ordered a new radio base and antenna. The company that installed it said they could program it to set off the siren.

The ire department asked if the city would pay for all or part of the radio base and antenna. No action was taken on the subject.

There was a request for no parking signs on a street. The council didn’t see any bene it in putting no parking signs there. The city can’t stop people from parking in front of their house unless it is snowing or on the boulevard.

A request for stop signs on Fourth Street was tabled until the council checks out the area. The council may ask the sheriff’s department to patrol the area for safety.

Tysor reported he saw the county patching West Highway and Eighth Street. He called the county engineer, as the city wasn’t aware this was going to happen this iscal year. The county engineer agreed that the city could pay their share ($9,000) next iscal year.

Tysor checked with ive engineers on the pool, and everyone deals with ACCO or JEO who uses ACCO as engineer. City Clerk Christy Hoe ling veri ied with Wall Lake to see how many bids they collected, or if they knew of another company. They tried to get multiple bids and received two bids, with one business going out of business in the process. Tysor will talk with the engineer.

The city started lushing hydrants Oct. 9. The valve on the hydrant went well. The city crew will try to ix a hydrant. If they can’t, a new one would cost approximately $2,000. Tysor reported, if the council wants the water tower painted white, it would cost $49,975. If they want burgundy, it will be $68,847. The council agreed to wait to do the project until next iscal year and go with the burgundy color.

Acknowledgements Councilperson Ruth Ann Mohr reported on memorials given for the pool. She also reported that pickled herring sales would start soon.

These funds will go toward the pool iltration project.

The council acknowledged the following memorials given to the pool: in memory of Florence Schultz—Florence Schultz family, Quirk family, Quirk Farm, Twyla Prall-Wilken, Grant and Irene Thayer, Keith and Jill Siebrecht, Jeff McDonough and Carol and Ruth Youngren; in memory of Roger Johannsen—Twyla Prall-Wilken and Brian and Janet Down, and in memory of Dale Mohr—Roger and Linda Sleight, Larry and Bev Beckman and Don and Mary Oxendale.
