The Green Power Program

$1.00

Accident takes one life

NIKKI DAVIS Editor The Red Oaks, Emerald Lustre Maples, Autumn Purple Ashes, Blaze Maples, Greenspire Lindens and more are beginning to show their true colors. And no one in town probably realizes this more than Duane Mann who has been following the progress of 1,093 of these trees planted between 1992 and 1996 through a ‘Green Power Program’ offered through Missouri River Energy Services.

The Woodbine Municipal Light and Power plant, part of the MRES, elected to participate in a Tree Power Program in 1992. The goal of the program was for all MRES members (50) to plant one tree for every meter they serviced.

In order to reach their goal, Woodbine Municipal was offering participants a 50/50 split on the cost of the trees.

“Back then, we purchased two to 3three inch ‘balled and baled’ trees at a discount, so they were only around $100,” Mann remembered. “So the home owner paid half and the utility paid the other half. It was a great price for the trees.”

The trees weren’t all that were included in the price, though. A crew came with it.

Kevin Bostwick, 37 of Missouri Valley, was fatally injured in a crash on Nov. 11 on U.S. Highway 30. He was driving a 2007 Ford F-250 when he wrecked, trying to overcorrect after veering onto the shoulder.

Photo: Mary Darling MARY DARLING For The Twiner One man was killed and another injured in a two-vehicle accident Nov. 11 on U.S. Highway 30, four miles east of Missouri Valley.

Kevin Bostwick, 37, of Missouri Valley, was fatal-

ly injured in the crash that occurred about 8:47 a.m.

Nov. 11.

According to the Iowa Highway Patrol, Bostwick was eastbound on U.S. Highway 30 in a 2007 Ford pickup, when he drove off the right shoulder. He overcorrected and steered back onto the

roadway crossing the centerline into the path of a semi driven by Rex Kuhlman, 69, of Dow City.

Kuhlman was westbound and attempted to avoid Bostwick’s vehicle by steering onto the right shoulder. The two vehicles collided in the westbound lane. Bostwick’s

vehicle came to rest in the eastbound lane facing westbound and the semi came to rest in the south ditch with the trailer still on the roadway. Bostwick was not wearing a seatbelt.

The accident closed U.S. Highway 30 for approximately five hours.

The Woodbine School Board moved through a routine agenda Nov. 11.

New items approved on the consent agenda included accepting a resignation from John Hupp as head baseball coach, and offering contracts to Danielle Peterson for basketball cheerleading, Katie Androy for a preschool associate position, and Catrina Feige for a Tiger Tots and Latchkey associate position. Principal Kathy Waite informed the board the attendee count had increased, so in order to stay in

compliance with their adult/child ratio, two more associates had to be hired.

With the addition of the new associates, Waite asked the board to consider an hourly rate increase for the program, which will be discussed at the December meeting. The Tiger Tot and Latch Key program has achieved a level four on the quality rating scale as set forth by DHS standards.

The board also moved to pass Board Policy 401.12, Employee Use of Cell Phones, and with Superintendent Vint’s recommendation, they See BOARD Page 6

CHAMBER CONNECTION WOODBINE MAIN STREET-CHAMBER

‘Bright Lights, Little City’ Christmas In Woodbine

I

t’s just around the corner…Sat., Dec. 4 we’ll be celebrating Christmas In Woodbine! The third annual Lighted Parade will start down Walker Street at 5:30 p.m. (All businesses and community organizations are urged to put together something “bright” for the parade and line-up between 4:30-5 p.m. at Seventh and Walker. The route will go south on Walker to Third Street, then back north on Lincoln Way past Fifth Street.) The more entrants, the merrier the parade!

Here’s a list of some of the events, both old and new, and when they are scheduled: • 3 p.m. Cookie Walk begins - 313 Walker, Main Street Station - until they’re gone!

• 3-8 p.m. Gift Mall – Home-based businesses in the Senior Center • 4:30-7 p.m. Visit Santa and Mrs. Claus – 313 Walker, Main Street Station • 4:30 until it’s gone! Chili Cook-off Contest – front of Carson & Clark Vote for your fave!

Back by popular demand is the bonfire and marshmallows & hot chocolate in front of Carson & Clark after the parade.

This year, a total of $1,000 in Woodbine Dollars in several increments will be given away during the retail merchant event. Several Main Street retailers will be staying open Saturday night. Pick up a Christmas Punch Card and visit the retail merchant locations listed on it, getting them “punched” along the way; fill your punch card, sign your name on the back, and drop it in any designated drawing box for collection. Then watch for posting of hourly winners – drawings held at 5 p.m., 6p.m. and 7 p.m.

All Winning Dollars must be spent Dec. 4! It will be fast winning and fun spending!

Watch for more fun details next week!

Organizing the event is the Promotions Committee/Woodbine Main Street Chamber. Please e-mail the Main Street office with questions: woodbinechamber@iowatelecom.net.

Let me tell you a secret ...

M

y how things have changed since I was little. My how has my perspective changed since I was little.

It’s not a big secret I hail from Omaha, Neb. Nor is it a secret I live in Modale now – a town that is smaller than the neighborhood subdivision I grew up in. But you want to know a secret? Although I miss my childhood home (it’s completely different with different faces and different landscape), I love living in Harrison County. Shhhhh! I think my parents would laugh at that considering they grew up in Ringsted and craved life in the big city!

It’s just the little things I enjoy.

This whole thought came around when I was in the ally behind the office. The C & H truck rolled by. I smiled and waved, silently thinking, “I know them!” And I don’t mean I had seen those faces around … I knew them.

That made me smile.

Then I began to think about it. About all those people I never gave a second thought to as I grew up in Omaha.

A prime example that jumped into my head was …….. yes. The lunch ladies. Mercilessly chastised and made fun of in my high school. (And, for the record, I would like to point out that I was not one of “those” kids.)

Then I smiled again … thinking of the Woodbine Lunch Crew! (And breakfast crew!)

Every time I walk in, they smile. I always stop to chat with them. They’re so fun.

And then I thought more … they’re mothers.

Grandmothers. And I’ve seen their families. I’ve met their families. Some have met mine – or, at the least – know about mine and inquire as to their wellbeing.

And I smiled again.

We can push this conversation as far as the city

NIK’S KNACKS NIKKI DAVIS EDITOR nikki.davis@woodbinetwiner.com

council is concerned. I know them. By name. By face. And school board. By name. By face. The school principals (of whom I was terrified of growing up – not in Woodbine – just the presence of the authority figure). By name. By face. The business owners. By name. By face. Fire department volunteers. Law enforcement officials. Mothers and fathers and aunts and uncles and grandparents …

Woodbine residents. By name. By face. And the importance of all of them.

Smile. Smile. Smile.

That’s why they call this a community. Because everyone here has a job. Everyone has a purpose.

They don’t get overlooked. They don’t get passed by. Everyone smiles as they pass you by.

Sometimes my 13-year-old step-daughter asks when we’re up here, “Mom! Who was that?” And I can smile and say, “I’m not sure.” The quizzical look on her face makes me laugh sometimes as I find myself saying, “That’s just how it is here.”

And I know in my heart, living in a burb of Omaha, she is living the life I did at her age.

I bet she couldn’t name her lunch ladies. Or her trashmen (or women, not to be biased). I bet she doesn’t even know the city council exists, let alone who sits on it!

And, yes. That makes me smile.

Because I feel so lucky.

Letter to the Editor

Will concerns be met?

To the citizens of Harrison County: Upon reflecting on my campaign, I am satisfied knowing that as a candidate for Harrison County Supervisor, I worked very hard and ran a clean campaign. I enjoyed meeting, in my door-todoor travels, our Harrison County citizens. But now I wonder if their concerns will be

resolved. This letter is addressed, specifically, to Harrison County voters, primarily Republican voters. You did it. You have spoken. Now what?

You have returned an incumbent and given him a co-worker with no platform of consequence.

Are you going to hold these two accountable?

Are you going to assume full responsibility for attitudes and activity in the Supervisor’s office? If not, you may be condoning: 1. “Robo” signing of documents 2. Poor maintenance

of secondary roads, the increasing number of bridges that will not accommodate farm equipment or emergency vehicles and the continued closing of county roads 3. Continued purchases of expensive road equipment coupled with a budget that isn’t getting the job done- a secondary roads budget much larger than that of neighboring counties 4. Lack of or lackadaisical support of historic preservation 5. Little concern for the county economy and

helping our 10 communities shed themselves of the “bedroom community” syndrome 6. Rudeness and intimidation of the taxpayer who dares to approach with legitimate concerns Winning the county election shouldn’t stop there. Now Republican voters: you are accountable. Let our County Supervisors know you are expecting better service from the governing body of Harrison County.

Sincerely, Norma Coret

Community Bank of the West presents, ‘Mad About Money’

A ‘Mad About Money’ financial literacy tour, sponsored by Bank of the West, helps educate Woodbine students on the importance of personal economic health. Professional actors performed live, humorous improvisational sketches that weave students through scenarios about wants, needs, cash, credit, savings and investing. Woodbine students and teachers enjoyed the comical, educational skits. Photo: Nikki Davis Bank of the West is helping Woodbine Community School students to understand the importance of personal economic health through its sponsorship of a unique arts-based financial literacy program – Mad About Money.

Bank of the West sponsored a local performance Nov. 10 as part of an exclusive Mad About Money financial literacy tour in 20 Midwest schools.

“Financial education is one of the critical issues facing all of us as individual consumers,” Executive Vice President of Bank of the West’s Omaha-based Great Plains Division Bob

Dalrymple said. “By the time our children reach the age of 18, one-third of them will have acquired their own credit card.

Young students today will be tomorrow’s consumers and financial institutions including Bank of the West all have a stake in equipping youth with a better understanding of personal finance,” added Dalrymple.

Mad About Money features professional actors who perform live, humorous improvisational sketches that weave audience suggestions into pre-formatted scenarios about needs, wants, cash, credit, saving and investing.

In addition to the live performances, students and teachers were provided with educational materials for continued lessons – on topics such as prioritizing needs versus wants; saving and investing; and the difference between cash and credit – through teacher guides and workbooks containing home and online assignments.

Mad About Money is the most in-demand production of the Minneapolis-based National Theatre for Children, a theater company that specializes in touring, in-school educational performances.

Local Bank of the West bankers were on hand for

the Mad About Money performances.

Financial literacy is an essential element of selfsufficiency, asset building and the American Dream. Bank of the West is committed to improving the social and economic health of the communities it serves and has made financial education one of the cornerstones of its efforts. The bank’s comprehensive approach to financial literacy engages people of all ages and backgrounds, complements education with incentives and reinforces local efforts with a national strategy.

The Green Power Program From TREES Page 1 The Woodbine Kiwanis Club as well as the city employees all pitched in to help Woodbine reach their goal set in 1992: to plant 788 trees, one for each meter in town. Mann himself used his own auger purchased for his apple orchard to help dig the holes to plant the trees.

“I was lucky to have that big auger,” Mann smiled. “It was designed to dig those holes. I got a lot of use out of it.”

Mann and crews of volunteers dug holes throughout Woodbine – no house or business was off limits – although sometimes the exact location of the tree itself was.

“Sometimes we had a hard time convincing people to move locations due to various reasons,” Mann said. “And one time I broke the PTO shaft on the auger … and it got buried once, too, and Joe Book and I had a

heck of a time digging it out.”

The trees were planted from the Woodbine Cemetery to First Street.

From Lincoln Way to Fischer Drive.

The drive and determination of the community made Woodbine one of the first participating communities to receive their Golden Tree Award from MRES in March of 1999. They received the award for reaching their goal of 788 – and then exceeded that by 356, ending up with 1,093 trees planted in Woodbine.

As the years have progressed, so have the trees.

Some for the best, such as the Blue Spruce Pine located on Vandemark Heating and Air Conditioning’s property.

Or the Red Oak on Lincoln Way (Mann’s favorite). Or the two Lindens located on Bob Sauvain’s property on Ninth and Normal Streets.

Though last week’s snow took care of most remaining leaves, the trees planted in the 1990’s have matured considerably and their leaves were bright and healthy throughout the fall.

Such as the trees planted by the school that were cut down during the school’s addition in 2004.

“There were four or five of them,” Mann said, thinking of the trees in front of the school. “They were beautiful trees. We about cried when they had to pull them out.”

For better or worse, Mann has seen them develop and evolve.

“I’ve watched them over the years,” Mann admitted. “Some of them have just turned out beautiful.

They’ve matured and are just wonderful. Woodbine’s always been a green community. Even back then.”

New associates approved by Woodbine School Board From BOARD Page 1 approved the filing of a SBRC application for funding due to increased enrollment. The enrollment recently went up by 7.2 students.

Vint went over state aid money with the board, and claimed he would be watching to see how the state budget will be affected with the new governor coming on board in January. He also informed the board the $200,000 borrowed from ISCAP was paid back, and the school would be getting insurance money to pay for damages incurred on the fire panel due to a power surge. Vint passed out a tentative 2011-2012 school calendar for board discussion.

High School Principal Rick Shanks delivered the focus on education segment of the meeting by explaining how the high school credit recovery program was going. Eight students are currently utilizing the program. Shanks also added another foreign exchange student would be attending Woodbine with the start of the second semester, and Woodbine would be hosting a quiz bowl on Dec. 4.

It was noted due to a conflict with the elementary concert, that the next board meeting would be moved to 7 p.m. Dec. 13.

Expressing her own creativity on the open road From OWEN Page 1 this time as they then began their own business – a truck driving business.

Gemma has served as owner/operator now for over 12 years, but has held her CDL and teamed with her husband for the past 25 years.

But there’s only so much to do on the road, aside from keeping their three dogs happy.

“I can only read so many books, though I am a voracious reader,” Gemma admitted. “But I got bored a bit. So it was many years in between, but I had somehow retained the basics of crochet, and taught myself the rest.”

She began by following patterns, mainly those of yarn.

First she began making designs in yarn for the American Cancer Society.

“I did not like the lame, chemo caps and hats they had patterns for,” she said.

“Every person has their own personality, so I created and created, making no two alike. I did thousands of caps and hats for ACS, because a friend was recovering from cancer

and was mad at having to buy a chemo cap through the hospital that was ‘totally crappy.’ It inspired me to create for the people, not for bulk sale.”

Then a challenge was laid before her.

“Someone said people who crochet with the larger hooks, can’t do fine thread work,” Gemma remembered. “So to prove that theory totally stupid, I took up thread crochet.”

Now there’s no stopping her. She can crochet anything - literally.

“From thread to plastic bags,” she admitted. “But I like to do gorgeous afghans and sweaters – mostly yarn. However – doilies are my favorite thing of all to crochet.”

So after ‘relearning’ how to crochet and following pattern books, Gemma discovered something. She had a knack to make improvements on the patterns she followed.

“I was doing it rather unconsciously from the beginning,” Gemma admitted.

Then she wondered why she was following anyone else’s pattern anyway.

“One day I was disgusted with the lack of awesome doilies to crochet and I wondered, ‘Could I?’ Yep. I could,” she said.

And she makes it sound as though she’s just doodling in a notebook.

“I know it sounds strange, but all I have to do is choose colors and have an idea in mind and it almost comes to life as I go. I never had a failure, blessedly, either,” Gemma said. “I think, maybe, as Mrs. Coret (former art teacher) said, I vent my artistic talent in the thread now days rather than on canvas.”

Gemma has literally designed hundreds of doilies to date. Most, though, she doesn’t have the patterns for, they just are what they are. She began to put her patterns on a Web site, w w w. c r a f t o w n . c o m , where she was designated Designer of the Month in June of 2009.

Then a group of friends began to press Gemma into sharing her talent further.

“I didn’t have time for a Web site and had

enough issues trying to deal with people e-mailing me once they got a pattern of mine from Craftown,” she said. “So I dragged my feet big time.”

Finally, she relented and agreed to submit her patterns to a few, choice places. She only dictated one demand to her friends.

“If it fails, I want to be left alone about it,” she said.

Her condition backfired as both of the patterns sold from the pictures alone.

“So, so much for that smart idea of mine,” she said, laughing.

Now she has sold a pin cushion angel pattern to Maggie’s Crochet Magazine, which is to be published in a later edition. Currently in print is her Poinsettia and Bells doily in ‘Crochet!’ Magazine’s special edition, ‘Celebrate The Season.’ ‘Crochet World’ will also print her Christmas poinsettia pattern in their December 2010 edition.

All in all, Gemma has become a desirable asset to those in the world of

WCS honors local veterans From the left, Zoe Leonard, Raynor Von Hohenstein and Zell Millard were among the few veterans honored during Woodbine Community School’s Veteran’s Day Tribute program Nov. 11.

yarn and hooks.

“The editor of ‘Crochet World’ has messaged me repeatedly wanting more designs,” Gemma admitted. “At this time, I am contemplating sending her several. I do a lot of intricate designs, and they are not for the novice, though. Designs for them must be appealing, yet simple.”

Gemma looks at that as a challenge, considering she likes to form 3-D items, such as flowers.

Therefore, she’s been going back through hundreds of her past designs, looking for eye catching that those familiar with crochet could do, to submit.

In her spare, spare time, she continues to donate her crocheting talent in the form of designing crocheted, one-piece slippers she donates to charity events for hospitals, nurs-

ing homes and more.

And recently, she picked up a pair of knitting needles, getting a few pointers from a friend, and teaching herself the rest. It’s just one of the ways she likes to keep her small world in the truck interesting.

“I do not design for the money, as there isn’t that much money in it,” she said. “I do it for the love of the creating designs that are pretty and not the same old. What keeps me designing is the hundreds of crocheters out there who insist my designs are the best. Bless their hearts.

I like to give and if sharing my patterns makes others happy, then the least I can do is try to share them.

And, we were running team and the stress level was high. Crochet gave me the outlet to vent – not just my talents – but the stress.”

Community Not too late Chamber recognizes business owners’ renovations for a flu shot Iowa has yet to see influenza activity this year, however, it is being seen in some of our neighboring states; meaning it is only a matter of time. If you haven’t received your flu shot this year now is a great time to protect yourself and others.

Harrison County Home & Public Health urges you to get your flu shot before the holiday season to make sure you aren’t spreading or receiving more than just joy between your friends and family.

It takes 10 to 14 days for a flu shot to be fully effective on your immune system, so getting one sooner rather than later will help protect yourself and your family during the holidays and before the onset of the peak flu season in Iowa.

Influenza is spread from person-to-person by coughing or sneezing. Symptoms usually consist of fever, head and body aches, fatigue, cough and sore throat and can last from seven days to some symptoms lasting longer than two weeks.

Harrison County Home & Public Health is offering flu vaccine through their office for $25 per dose; if you are enrolled in Medicare please bring your Medicare card with you. Children through age 18 who have no health insurance coverage, have insurance coverage that does not cover immunizations, are American Indian or Alaska Native or are enrolled in Medicaid are able to receive the flu vaccine with out charge through the Vaccine for Children Program.

Please call our office at 712-644-2220 for community clinic dates and times or to schedule an appointment in our office.

The Woodbine Main Street-Chamber took the time to recognize the five, consecutive buildings that were involved in the first major, downtown renovations in a small ceremony Nov. 12 at The Golden Age Center.

Pictured here, front row, left to right, are: Zell Millard and Jackie Thomsen representing the Woodbine Betterment who renovated the old Unity Building now owned by Dave and Deborah Kaufman; Dean Stephany representing the Golden Age Center as the current board president; and Main Street-Chamber President Lynn Clark.

Breastfeeding alone is a nurturing act that provides mother and baby with great benefits such as protection from diseases and infections and long term benefits such as decreased levels of obesity, diabetes and some cancers. With the added benefit breastfeeding provides for our delicate ecosystem, it not only provides for a healthy mother and baby but also a healthier planet.

Although we live in a polluted world, scientists agree human milk is still the best food to nourish our babies.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends babies be exclusively breastfed for the first six months and breastfeeding continues for the first year.

With all of the talk lately about ‘Going Green’ we have all learned much about the three R’s (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle), alternative power sources and even greenhouse gasses. So many of the recommendations we hear seem to be out of our reach and we are constantly looking for steps we can take in our own homes to make a real difference in the world around us.

One option available to families is often overlooked … breastfeeding.

Human milk remains the ultimate natural renewable resource and perhaps the most convenient way of helping to create a healthier planet.

Human milk requires no resources for packaging, shipping or disposal.

Each year in the United States, the production of artificial baby milk produces 86,000 tons of tin and 1,230 tons of paper labels.

Breastfeeding may not be routinely considered an energy source, but it does preserve valued energy.

Logan reindeer to make guest appearance When Audrey Evans retired from being a mail carrier six years ago, she may have stopped delivering Christmas cards, but she still wanted to celebrate the holidays in a big way.

That’s where Dancer and Cupid came in. The two reindeer, born at the Reindeer Games Ranch in Wisconsin, became part of the Evans’ family about a year ago. Audrey and her husband Terry have raised the females – one month apart – from infancy to young adulthood. Now six and seven months old, Dancer and Cupid will appear at the Festival of Trees at Harrah’s Convention Center from 10 a.m. to noon Nov. 20. Patrons at the festival will be able to pet the reindeer and have photos taken with them.

Why females?

“The female reindeer keep their antlers through Christmas,” Audrey said.

She goes on to joke that the females also “don’t have to stop and ask for directions” on Christmas Eve when they’re guiding Santa and his sleigh.

Cupid, the “runt” of the litter and Dancer, the largest in her litter, were bottle-fed with lambs’ milk for several months after the Evans brought them home to their farm near Logan. Much preparation was needed to accommodate the ani-

mals, such as installing an 8-foot high fence – “so they can’t fly over it,” kids Terry – but, actually, so that they can keep out whitetail deer which carry diseases to which the reindeer are susceptible and not immune.

Reindeer are not native to North America.

They’re originally from Siberia and were imported in the 1800’s to Alaska because of the decline of caribou at the time.

Reindeer have been domesticated for over 3,000 years and are typically used like a horse to ride and to help plow fields. The Sami people, indigenous to far north-

ern Europe, use the animals to help with hunting. In this country they are considered an exotic animal.

Dancer and Cupid have blended into the Evans’ family like any of their other pets. They come when they’re called and get along well with the dogs even though Cupid may be a tad bit bossy with the family cat.

They give “reindeer kisses” and keep Audrey company in her kitchen when she’s baking. Their diet consists of dandelion leaves, apple tree twigs and Purina Reindeer Chow. A particulate favorite is graham crack-

ers.

Terry and Audrey Evans would like to train the reindeer to pull an old-time Amish sleigh but Dancer and Cupid will need to be at least two years old before they can do that. In the meantime, they are content to be a part of farm life on the 40acre “hobby farm” and will be available for bookings through the holidays.

For more information about the reindeer, log on t o www.reindeerwoods.co m. To find out more about the Festival of Trees, go to w w w. b l u f f s f e s t i v a l oftrees.org.

Lenz ends high school cross country career at All-Star meet in Ankeny Ethan Lenz ended his high school cross country career Nov. 6, running in Ankeny at the Senior Select All-Star Cross Country meet. Ethan was selected to run in this meet based on his achievements in high school. He ran with 108 other senior all-stars from throughout the state and from all classes. All 108 boys ran together. Ethan ran for the Southwest Iowa Select team. Ethan finished in 56th out of the 108 runners. A very fitting way for Ethan to end his high school CC career, and very rewarding for his hard work.

The meet was held at DMACC college in Ankeny.

Windschitl elected as Caregivers Month Republican Leader Rep. Matt Windschitl (R-Missouri Valley) was elected as Assistant Majority Leader in the Iowa House.

Windschitl, who was recently re-elected by the people of Monona, Harrison and Pottawattamie Counties, previously served as an Assistant House Minority Leader.

“I am honored and humbled that House Republicans have selected me to serve in their leadership team,” Windschitl said. “House Republicans are committed to eliminating wasteful state spending, reining in the size and scope of state government and putting Iowans back to work. We will work tirelessly on behalf of Iowans.”

Windschitl, who was first elected to the Iowa House in 2006 works for the Union Pacific Railroad and is also a gunsmith. He and his wife, Ivy, have two children. Windschitl was elected by his Republican colleagues Monday.

The Legislature convenes on Jan. 10, 2011.

Iowa Department on Aging Director Ro Foege reminded Iowans November is National Family Caregivers Month and November 2010 also marks the 10th anniversary of the National Family Caregiver Support Program.

Governor Chet Culver issued a proclamation proclaiming November Family Caregiver Month.

Iowa has nearly 300,000 caregivers who give over 300 million hours of much needed care to those that are no longer able to care for themselves according to a report by the National Family Caregivers Association and the Family Caregiver

Alliance (National Center on Caregiving.)

According to an AARP study, the annual value of caregiving in Iowa is approximately $3.5 billion dollars.

To find out about services and support available to caregivers in Iowa, please contact the Iowa Family Caregivers hotline at: 1-866-468-7887 or check out the Web site at: www.iowafamilycaregiver.org .

Classifieds Iowa sheriffs prepare to implement new weapons permit law effective

FCS announces third quarter earnings

Iowa sheriffs who currently issue more than 36,000 weapons permits statewide annually, are preparing to start issuing new weapons “carry” permits when their offices open for business on Jan. 3, 2011.

With the passage of SF 2379 earlier this year, sheriffs will issue “carry” permits to citizens who are not subject to state or federal disqualifiers and who have completed minimal training called for in the legislation.

Although sheriffs say they have denied few “carry” permits in the past, they expect Iowans to line up for the new permit, because it will now be good for five years, rather than one year, and the permit cannot be restricted in any way by the sheriff. In the past, sheriffs could require the weapons be “concealed” when carried in public, and they also could restrict individuals from carrying handguns while consuming alcohol.

Farm Credit Services of America reported continued growth in loan volume and net income for the quarter ended Sept. 30.

Net income for the first nine months of 2010 was $284.8 million compared to $134.0 million in the same period in 2009. The growth in net income is attributable to various factors including new business, a decrease in the provision for credit losses, a one-time refund of Farm Credit insurance fund premiums paid in prior years, a reduction in the insurance fund premium rate and a decrease in tax expense.

“A number of factors are contributing to 2010 earnings,” President and CEO Doug Stark said. “Our reserves for loan losses have been relatively lower in 2010, which is the result of the strength of our portfolio during a volatile period for agriculture. Strong earnings enable us to build upon our financial strength and fulfill our mission. We will continue to focus on being a valued financial partner that provides reliable and competitive financing, works with customers through volatile economic times, and provides a meaningful cash patronage dividend.

“Working with our board, we have been setting the stage for solid financial performance for many years.

We have made strategic technology investments that have provided organizational efficiencies. Combine those investments with our cooperative structure and a four-state network of engaged employees who proudly serve America’s farmers and ranchers and we believe we have a very powerful business model that offers tremendous value to rural America.”

Other financial highlights include loan volume increasing $985 million in the first nine months of 2010 to $14.5 billion and the total member’s equity increased to $2.5 billion from $2.2 billion at the end of 2009.

Those standards no longer apply under Iowa’s new weapons law.

Firearms qualification for new permit applicants is also no longer required.

“The Iowa Legislature has spoken, and Iowa Sheriffs intend to fulfill their professional responsibility to uphold the laws of Iowa. Iowa Sheriffs Offices have been working for months with the Iowa Department of Public Safety (IDPS) to accurately interpret and prepare to implement the new law,” says 2011 Iowa State Sheriffs and Deputies Association (ISSDA) President, Sheriff Duane Hildebrandt of Bremer County.

Although ISSDA members continue to have public safety concerns with some provisions and consequences of SF 2379 relating to “open” rather than “concealed” carry; lack of firearms qualification requirements for new permit applicants; and the ability to carry in

public while consuming alcohol, Iowa Sheriffs reaffirm that they have been working for months with IDPS and their county attorneys to be ready for new and renewal applicants in January.

“We have encouraged sheriffs and deputies to attend training sessions on the new law, and we have reviewed the administrative rules and regulations for SF 2379. Sheriffs Offices will receive the new permit applications from IDPS this week.

ISSDA leaders and IDPS have fielded hundreds of questions from Sheriffs Offices and Iowans about the new law and provided answers to those questions,” says current ISSDA President, Deputy Brian Vos of Warren County. “Could there be a few kinks in January?

Possibly, because of the significant changes in the law, but we hope that everyone will continue to work together for a smooth implementation.”

The new law

requires those planning to submit a “renewal application,” which is $25, to do so at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of the currently held permit. Iowans whose permits have previously expired and/or those who want to apply for a new permit may apply for the $50 fiveyear permit beginning the first day of business in January. Permit fees were set by the legislature. New application forms created by IDPS will be available at Sheriffs Offices as early as next week.

Individuals who have questions about weapons permits or changes under the new law may refer to a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document at the Iowa Department of Public Safety website (www.dps.state.ia.us).

For specific information regarding an individual permit application, persons should contact their own County Sheriffs Office.

CARD OF THANKS: I want to extend my sincere thanks to our local volunteer fire department for coming out at my call to them a couple of weeks ago to put out a fire in my combine and corn field. I also want to advise any combine operators to carry at least 2 fire extinguishers if they are the small variety or 1 large one. I had 1 new one but it wasn’t enough. Had I had 2, I believe I could have saved the combine and also the trip out there for the fire department.

We really can’t thank the department enough, though, for their willingness and their self-sacrifice in helping out in times of need. Charles E. Miller.
