Swaledale Nuisances By Travis Fischer The City of Swaledale has begun taking some aggressive steps towards curbing down on nuisance properties within the city limits. Dealing with nuisance properties is a continuing struggle in most small towns. As junk piles up or the grass grows too long, city governments will send several letters asking residents to maintain their property before taking action. Often this involves cleaning up the property themselves and assessing the cost to the property tax. “You try to be nice about it and say ‘please clean up the property to make the town look better’ and they just don’t,� says Mayor John Drury. “They’ve called our bluff in the past and we don’t have the resources to go after it.� The City of Swaledale will no longer depend on the threat of increased property tax to induce compliance of city ordinances. Instead, the city attorney will send offending property owners a letter of Notice to Abate Nuisance, informing them that they are in violation of the city code and have 30 days to correct the issue before they are charged with a municipal infraction. Failing to comply with orders to clean up a nuisance property will result in a civil penalty from the sheriff’s office. A first offense could result in a penalty of up to $500, with subsequent offenses increasing to $750 and $1,000. “It’s a different way of going about it,� says Drury. “The other way is a little bit nicer.�

Harper returns home ahead of schedule By Nick Pedley If it weren’t for a thin surgical mask over her face, you couldn’t have picked Madisyn Harper apart from any other ordinary teenage girl. “We’re just glad to be home,� said Madisyn’s mother Kaci. “It’s been hard being away from everybody for so long.� Madisyn returned home to a house full of family and friends Monday night after spending 83 days in Rochester, Minn. The 14-year-old Sheffield girl was recuperating at the Ronald McDonald House following her heart transplant on March 20. Despite the magnitude of the surgery, Madisyn’s improvement and recovery have been exceptional. She returned home 10 days ahead of schedule. “The heart has been fantastic since Day 1,� said Madisyn’s father Glen. “If you didn’t know what was wrong, you couldn’t tell what she’s been through over the past year.� Aside from being reunited with family and friends, there was an added surprise waiting for Madisyn at her rural Sheffield home. My Happy Place, a charity organization that specializes in giving sick, grieving or emotionally distressed youth their “dream� room,

Rockwell Makes Summer Plans By Travis Fischer The Rockwell City Council got ready for summer projects during their regular meeting on Wednesday, June 5. The city’s south water tower will be getting a new paint job this summer. The tower will be sandblasted and repainted for the first time since 1983. K&W Coatings will perform the work this summer at the cost of $45,350. The council also approved a $600 bid for dust control at the industrial park and noted that Mosquito Control should be in town to spray for mosquitoes once the weather permits. The city is also planning to patch the Madison Street Bridge to keep the deck safe until it can be fully repaired next year. In pool news, it was reported that the recent rain was fortuitous as it gave the pool time to replace a pool pump. The pool was filled and opened up over the weekend for the summer season. In other business, the council expressed concern about kids driving golf carts around the city. The council reminds residents that all drivers need to be licensed to operate any motorized vehicle, including lawnmowers and golf carts, on city streets. The Harper family was reunited on Monday as Madisyn Harper returned home to her family. Parents Kaci and Glen and sister Samantha welcomed Madisyn home after a lengthy recovery.

tooled in preparation for her return. My Happy Place volunteers repainted the walls and ceiling, hung new curtains, brought in a custom-made dresser and installed a comfortable new adjustable bed. Numerous local businesses donated materials and other goods for the project, according to Tan. Additionally, volunteers removed carpet and installed new hardwood floors in the room. The new flooring is more sanitary and easier to keep clean than carpet, which will be a huge area of focus for the Harpers following Madisyn’s return. Anti-rejection medicine has compromised her immune system, in turn forcing Madisyn to wear a mask over her face to thwart airborne illnesses. “She’s self-conscious about it some days like any girl her age would be, but some days she’s fine about it,� said Glen. The next few months will be touch and go, according to Madisyn’s parents. Kaci will stay home and provide daily health care to ensure Madisyn’s recovery remains on-schedule. Regular doctor visits will be the norm for the foreseeable future, but that’s nothing new for the Harpers. “The first six months after the transplant, you’re kind of in limbo – you’re flying by the seat of your pants for the

first year, really, which is the tough part,� said Glen. Though unforeseen hurdles may await Madisyn in her recovery, there’s been no cause for alarm as of yet. A seroma blister on her upper thigh has been the lone post-transplant issue, according to Glen, but it’s been only a minor inconvenience. If everything goes according to plan, Madisyn will enter school this fall as a freshman at West Fork. She was keeping up with coursework online during her stay at Rochester, so she hasn’t fallen behind despite these past few hectic months. “Everyone there has been very accomodating, which has been just great,� said Glen. “Her classmates and teachers understand everything that’s going on, so she really has nothing to worry about this fall.� Coming home for the first time in nearly three months was a welcomed step for Madisyn, if not an overwhelming one. She entered her remodeled room and remained speechless as she took in the new scenery. She sat down on the new comfy bed and tested its features. “My old room was a lot more messier. I like everything about this one,� she said.

Summer renovations in full swing at West Fork By Nick Pedley Though classes have been out for a week, West Fork’s school buildings in Sheffield and Rockwell are still buzzing with activity. Numerous improvements to outdated facilities have been a main focal point for Superintendent Darrin Strike this spring. Topping the list of renovations is a completely revamped heating system in the middle school buidling and a new roof at the high school. The price tags on the projects may give some folks sticker shock, but Strike explained that the improvements will have an immediate impact on the district’s annual spending. “The new boiler will improve efficiency by 20 percent, and that will be seen right away. It’s an extensive project, but it’s needed,� he said.

Strike said estimates have the boiler replacement pegged at upwards of $800,000. Included in that cost is the removal and replacement of asbestoswrapped pipes. The superintendent explained that a large portion of the cost is earmarked for the asbestos abatement process. The district had to hire one firm to handle the removal and another to moniter air quality. According to Strike, the old boiler was installed over 40 years ago. The district investigated installing a geothermal system in Rockwell, but engineers steered them towards a hot water set-up powered by natural gas. “The building really isn’t the best type for geothermal,� explained Strike. “It’s older and two stories tall, and the number of years to see a payback would take too long. They figur

ed geo-thermal just wasn’t viable.� The district must have the project finished by the next heating season. Work removing pipes and asbestos was ongoing since mid-May and completed last Thursday. Though it may surprise some that asbestos removal started during the school year, Strike assured that the building was safe. “It’s not a don’t-go-anywhere-nearthat-building type of situation,� he said, explaining that workers kept areas quartered off and controlled with reverse air pressure, quality monitoring and plastic barriers. The new boiler may be West Fork’s biggest project this summer, but it’s not the district’s lone focus. The high school’s original rubber membrane on the roof was replaced and is near

completion. The protective layer had reached its 10 to 15-year lifespan, and leaking problems had become an issue in certain portions of the building. The project was started in May and cost the district roughly $80,000. Additionally, new shelving and cabinetry will be installed in each elementary classroom this summer. Despite having nine make-up days, Strike said the district’s projects are on schedule. Many other smaller renovations like landscaping and interior renovations will help freshen up the Sheffield and Rockwell campuses and benefit the district in the long run. “The district has grown following the consolidation over the past few years. It’s all part of the growing process,� Strike said.

Poor weather and broken equipment pushed the opening of the pool back this spring, but the city finally received replacement parts last week. Repair and prep work began last Thursday.

By State Representative Linda Upmeyer House District 54 linda.upmeyer@legis.state.ia.us (515) 281-4618

With the conclusion of the 2013 session, I’d like to take this opportunity to reflect on some of this year’s accomplishments. Since last fall, we have consistently voiced our commitment to making Iowa a stronger place to live and raise a family- through balancing the budget, providing significant tax relief and reform, and promoting policies to encourage great schools and communities. I am happy to report that we have fulfilled these promises with the conclusion of this legislative session. As promised, throughout the budget process, we stood by our core principles to not spend more than the state takes in, not use one-time money for ongoing expenses, not intentionally underfund our commitments simply to fix the problem down the road, and to return unused tax dollars to Iowa taxpayers. By following these principles, the bipartisan budgets passed this year spend 88 percent of what the state is allowed to spend, property tax credits are being fully-funded for the first time since 2002, and we were able to fund our public universities at a level where student tuition is frozen for the 2013-2014 school year. The state is spending less than it collects for the third consecutive year, our budget reserves remain full, and the ending balance is projected to be $600 million. Additionally, because of the sound budgeting practices we stood by, we led the way on reducing our state’s debt. This year’s final budget uses a portion of the ending balance to pay off $114 million in debt earlier than required, while also fulfilling our obligations in regards to pension funds. This is the way Iowans manage their own checkbooks, and it should be no different for state government. Addressing the burden of property taxes placed on the backs of Iowa taxpayers has been long overdue. For decades, the Legislature struggled to come up with a solution to the unsustainable growth of property taxes, but we were finally able to do so this year. The bipartisan legislation provides real relief for all classifications of property. SF 295 limits assessment growth from four percent to three percent on ag and residential taxpayers and also includes a ten percent rollback on taxable value for commercial and industrial property. Once fully implemented, it will provide $560 million in property tax re-

only just started in April, but it comes in under the wire as one of the most compelling new series of the season. Definitely not for the faint of heart, the show pulls no punches when it comes to its gory content so viewer beware. That said, when it comes to psychological thrillers, “Hannibal� is at the top of the list right now. Last Resort I thought this show about a rogue nuclear submarine trapped on the brink of World War III would either go very bad or very good. As it turns out, it just seemed to tread water. It wasn’t offensively bad, but it never quite lived up to its full potential either. Its merciful cancelation did give the show enough time to wrap things up in a fairly satisfying manner. Not bad if you consider it as a 13-episode miniseries.

Revolution In spite of the goofy premise, I was willing to give J.J. Abrams’ “Revolutionâ€? the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, the handful of interesting characters in the show just weren’t enough to overlook its flaws and bring me back after its mid-season hiatus. The show’s been picked up for a second season, so maybe I’ll give it another chance down the road. After all, I gave up on “Fringeâ€? early on and turned out to be wrong about that. Speaking of which, I hear “Elementaryâ€? turned out to be pretty good as well. Maybe I’ll give that a try after all. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and has finally come to terms with the fact that “Fireflyâ€? won’t be coming back‌ so let’s get “Firefly: The Next Generationâ€? going already!

Ten members of Dougherty American Legion Auxiliary, Post #354 meet at Becky’s Greenhouse on Saturday morning, June 8,, with Becky Litterer as hostess. A delicious brunch was served and a business meeting was lead by President Delores Marzen. Poppy sales of this year were discussed with ideas where we might sell them next year. Meetings were scheduled for the upcoming year. The standing officers were nominated and they accepted the offices for the upcoming year.

lief across Iowa. It is meaningful and reliable so taxpayers can count on relief from year to year. Finally, the bill implements a permanent mechanism for the Taxpayer Trust Fund credit, returning the over-collection of taxpayer dollars back to the taxpayer. Much discussion was given this session on how to care for Iowa’s neediest citizens. With IowaCares expiring, we saw this as an opportunity to improve upon our current system of care. We knew some wanted us to go down the path of ceding control to the federal government, but rather, we worked diligently to come up with a bipartisan, Iowa-based solution that makes the most sense for our state- a plan that would be implemented close to home. The Iowa Health & Wellness Plan will improve the quality of care for Medicaid recipients, while rewarding patients for personal responsibility and improving their overall health and wellness. The legislation also includes an opt-out option if federal funding changes occur. We were committed to improving the quality and rigor of education our children are receiving in the classroom as well. This session we passed a comprehensive education reform package that offers flexibility for school districts, innovation for teachers, accountability from our schools for parents, and protection for taxpayers. The bill will reward excellence in the classroom and through an innovative career pathway system for teachers, empower those excellent teachers to teach their methods to their colleagues. This legislation implements policy changes focused on achievement-driven reforms and greater student outcomes. You can be certain that we will continue to build upon the success of the 2013 session, work on additional priority issues during the interim, and be ready to lead again in January. As always, please feel free to contact me anytime with the issues you care about at linda.upmeyer@legis.iowa.gov or 515-281-4618.

Well summer is here, which means one thing. It’s time to catch up on some reading now that the regular television season is over! What, did you think I was going to suggest going outside? Anyway, with the TV getting a break after another season of shows, let’s go over some of the new contenders that hit the airwaves and see how they did. 666 Park Avenue I wanted to give this “haunting of the week� series a shot but only made it through a couple episodes before giving up. The concept, while by no means original, wasn’t too bad, but there just wasn’t enough there to justify coming back week after week. I clearly wasn’t the only one who thought so either. The show was canceled after just a couple months. Arrow The Year of the Archer ended with a brand new show for comic book geeks to enjoy. Surprisingly not a spin-off of “Smallville,� which featured the same character for years, “Arrow� establishes a new take on the D.C. Universe. One of the most interesting things about the show is how they answered the question of “How does a super-hero maintain the usual no-killing code when his primary weapon is designed to put holes in people?� The answer, oddly enough, is “He doesn’t.� “Arrow� does a decent job of throwing away conventional superhero tropes in favor of a more grounded setting, but the occasional cyborgassassin or earthquake machine is always there to remind the viewer of the show’s roots. Defiance Joss Whedon’s “Firefly� may be no more, but its spirit lives on in “Defiance,� a similarly styled sci-fi/western. A bit too ambitious for its budget, “Defiance� has still managed to create an interesting universe populated with compelling, if not entirely original, characters. I may not be inclined to give it such high praise if there were more alternative options, but sci-fi television isn’t that easy to come by these days and beggars can’t be choosers. Hannibal Bryan Fuller, never stop doing what you’re doing. The mind behind “Dead Like Me,� “Wonderfalls,� and “Pushing Daisies,� has now reinvented fiction’s most famous cannibal killer. The show

CSP applications due by June 14 DES MOINES — Iowa farmers interested in signing up for the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) in 2013 should submit applications by June 14 at their local Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office. CSP is a voluntary program that allows producers to go the extra mile in conserving natural resources, while also maintaining or increasing the productivity of their operations. Eligible lands include cropland, pastureland, rangeland, nonindustrial private forest land and agricultural land under the jurisdiction of an Indian tribe. Acting NRCS Chief Jason Weller recently announced the USDA agen-

cy will provide about $175 million in funding nationally, for up to 12.6 million additional acres. In 2012, NRCS awarded 552 CSP contracts in Iowa worth nearly $34 million over five years, covering about 288,000 acres. A CSP self-screening checklist is available to help producers determine if the program is suitable for their operation. The checklist highlights basic information about CSP eligibility requirements, stewardship threshold requirements and payment types. For the checklist or additional CSP application materials, visit your local USDA Service Center or go online to www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov.

AMES — A world of information will be available to pork producers at the Iowa Swine Day Thursday, June 27.
