Delaware Co. residents asked to complete survey Submitted by RMC

Regional Medical Center (RMC) and Delaware County Public Health (DCPH) are committed to the health of communities and continue to engage in dialogue and strategic planning to ensure that needs are met. A regulation from the government through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires that a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is done every three years. Every five years DCPH, representing the Delaware County Board of Health, completes a CHNA and a Health Improvement Plan. The 2015 CHNA Survey will address six factors important for the health and well-being of our community, including: promoting healthy living; preventing injuries and violence; protecting against environmental hazards; preventing epidemics and the spread of disease; preparing for, responding to, and recovering from public health emergencies; and strengthening health infrastructures. Feedback will help determine what healthcare needs in Delaware County are not being met or could be improved. Delaware County residents are asked to complete the survey at the following link, https:// www.surveymonkey.com/r/CHNA-2015 Contact Delaware County Public Health Manager Delma Hardin at 563-927-7353 or dhardin2@regmedctr.org with any questions.

Farmland leasing meeting set for August 10 in Independence More than half of Iowa farmland is rented, and in some Iowa locations, as much as 70% of the land is farmed by farmers who don’t own it. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach in Buchanan County and BankIowa are hosting a farmland leasing meeting on at 1:30 PM August 10 to address questions that land owners, tenants, or others have about farmland leasing. The meeting (approximately 2½ hours) will be at Heartland Acres Events Center, 2600 Swan Lake Blvd., Independence. ISU Extension Farm & Agribusiness Management Specialist Melissa O’Rourke will present a wide range of topics

American Legion Post 434 Quasqueton, IA

TENDERLOIN SUPPER Saturday, July 18 • 5-8PM

related to farmland values and leasing. O’Rourke is a licensed attorney with extensive experience in working with farm, ranch and agribusiness interests. “The interest in farm leasing arrangements continues to grow,â€? she said. “Due to volatility of land and commodity markets, we have had increased inquiries regarding flexible cash lease methodologies. There are dozens of methods for putting together flexible cash lease arrangements, and we will work through several examples.â€? She will also discuss resources for people to use to gain an understanding of how crop input costs can be considered in setting cash lease rates. An important consideration is the increasing age of farmland owners. “Fifty-five percent of Iowa farmland is owned by people over 65, and 28% is owned by individuals over age 75,â€? said O’Rourke. “We find children and surviving spouses are less likely to continue operating the farm themselves ‌ a major reason why farmland leasing continues to increase.â€?

Adults $10.00 * Kids (Under 10) $5.00

because it’s about living

O’Rourke encourages anyone with an interest in farmland rental rates to attend these meetings. “Both farmland owners and producer-tenants should attend. In fact, the ideal situation is for these folks to attend together and then sit down at the kitchen table to discuss their farm lease arrangements for the coming year.� Workshop attendees may purchase comprehensive workbook packed with information about land values, leasing and different types of farm lease arrangements. “Everyone should leave with a heightened understanding of farmland leasing.� There is no registration fee to attend this program, however, pre-registration is required by calling Buchanan County ISU Extension at 319-334-7161.

ICSD Board discusses licensing trademark Forward Submitted by Fusion

Independence Community School District (ICSD) Board of Education discussed implementation of a new trademark licensing agreement to protect the district’s trademarks, such as the “I” logo and the Mustang head logo at their regular April meeting. Board President Brian Eddy noted that “many school districts do not take advantage of trademark rights,” which can be a revenue source for school districts. The board discussed an annual fee for use companies to obtain a license to use the school district trademarks with possible waivers for groups directly benefitting the school district and/or students. The board will investigate what other districts charge and revisit at the next board

Jessica Sieren, Ph.D., spoke about cancer

meeting. High School Principal John Howard presented pros and cons of block vs. period scheduling at the high school. He plans to gather more data for future meeting. Mrs. Meyer presented a recap of the Department of Education Site Visit. The department, which conducts a thorough review of each school district’s on a fiveyear rotation, found ISCD to be 100% compliant with state standards. A new contract was approved with Lansing Brothers Construction to Accept Alternate 1 to remove demolition of the SW parking lot at the old high school from the contract. The school board accepted this alternate to save the parking lot since the City intends to re-use the lot for the new

pool project. The board also approved school registration and meal rates for 2015-2016, 2015 graduate candidates, agreement for participating in Prairies to Schools Program, the Project Lead the Way Education Service Agreement between ICSD and Hawkeye Community College for 2015-2016, Education Service Agreement between ICSD and Hawkeye Community College, education service agreement between Dunkerton Community School District, East Buchanan Community School District, Independence Community School District, Jesup Community School District and Hawkeye Community College.
