Buchanan County Volunteer Coop has served the community and county for the past 30 years. It has been a stand-alone organization with staff working on very limited budgets who accomplished marvelous things for the families they have served. It would be nearly impossible to come up with an exact number of people whose lives Volunteer Coop staff has touched over the years. Outcomes show in most situations the staff helped people to experience a much better life. The community and its citizens will forever be grateful to the Volunteer Coop staff for their caring help. Over the past two years, funding for the Volunteer Coop programs has become a challenge in an era where small, stand-alone organizations simply do not have the computerized equipment or manpower hours to deal with the enormous amounts of information that needs to be recorded and submitted weekly, monthly, and yearly. Recently, Brenda Ristvedt submitted her resignation as Volunteer Coop’s Director effective July 1, 2014, to the Volunteer Coop Board of Directors. It became apparent to the Volunteer Coop Board finding a replacement to fill Brenda’s shoes would take time, and in all likelihood, would be very difficult. Since receiving the director’s resignation, the Volunteer Coop Board has been searching for a way to continue serve the citizens of Buchanan County through the same quality and caring services Volunteer Coop has provided over the past three decades. An opportunity began to take shape that offered the opportunity to merge in with a larger, more financially stable organization. The opportunity came about after the Volunteer Coop Board reached out to Operation Threshold to see if they might be willing to transition Volunteer Coop staff and programs into their organization. Barb Grant, executive director of Operation Threshold, relayed her Board and staff look forward to assisting to maintain services in Buchanan County. The discussions culminated this past week when the Volunteer Coop Board of Directors voted on Tuesday, June 24 to establish a goal to work toward joining Volunteer Coop with Operation Threshold over the next couple of months. In addition, the Volunteer Coop Board of Directors voted to appoint Operation Threshold to be the Temporary/Transitional Employer of Record and Fiscal Agent beginning July 1. On Wednesday, June 25, the Operation Threshold’s Executive Board of Directors voted to accept Volunteer Coop’s request. The Volunteer Coop Board feels this is an excellent way for programs to merge into Operation Threshold without an interruption of services; families will continue to be served and, possibly with some of the same faces they have worked with over the past. The Volunteer Coop Board believes this a winwin situation for all involved and looks forward to the continued support by the community/county of the programming that helps to grow our families.

Delaying Social Security could increase lifetime income for Buchanan County residents By Tim Marema and Roberto Gallardo

Buchanan County residents nearing retirement age can increase their lifetime income if they can wait a bit to start drawing Social Security benefits. In Buchanan County 2,697 residents – 12.9% of the population – are aged 55 to 64. Those are the years when folks start thinking seriously about retirement. Workers can start taking Social Security at age 62. But for those who can wait, the benefits go up. “If you need Social Security early, take it – you’ve earned it,” said Virginia Reno with the National Academy of Social Insurance, a nonprofit organization. “But waiting even a year or two can make a big difference in the long run. The extra benefits are there for life.” Payments increase by 5-7% for each year of delay between ages 62 and 66, and by 8% for each year of delay between ages 66 and 70. The increases stop at age 70. For someone who can wait until age 70 to take Social Security, the reward is a lifetime monthly benefit that is 76% higher than if taken at age 62. For example, a worker who qualifies for a Social Security benefit of $750 at age 62 would receive $1,000 by waiting until full retirement age (66 for people born in 1943 to 1954). By waiting until age 70, the retiree would receive $1,320 a month. The higher benefit would also be the basis for future inflation adjustments. Only about one in five Iowa residents who are receiving Social Security retirement benefits waited until full retirement age to start their payments, according to the Social Security Administration. In Buchanan County, 3,115 residents received retirement benefits from the federal system, according to 2012 figures. The average recipient of Social Security retirement benefits in Buchanan County received $1,210 a month as of December 2012. On an annual basis, that brought $45,216,000 in income to the area – 5.4% of all personal income in the county, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. About half of seniors aged 65 to 69 get most of their income from Social Security. Many have other assets or work part time. But for three out of four seniors in their 80s, Social Security is the main source of income. Nationally, a woman who is 65 years old today can expect to live until she is 86. For men, it’s 84 years.

Another consideration is how the timing of benefits will affect a spouse’s income, Reno said. “If you are the higher earner in a couple, delaying benefits not only means a higher benefit for you for the rest of your life,” she said. “It also means a higher benefit for your spouse if she or he outlives you in old age.” “In rural areas there is often a challenge as folks move toward retirement,” said Deanna Sharpe, a personal finance professor at the University of Missouri. “They are more likely to face unemployment. Jobs are not as available. And when they are, they tend to pay less.” Economic downturns can also affect when people decide to start receiving Social Security, Sharpe said. “One of the coping mechanisms during the recent recession was to pick up Social Security at age 62, even if they might not have planned to do that before the recession,” she said. Retirees need to make informed decisions and free or low-cost advice is available. Sharpe said many Extension Service offices provide information on retirement planning. She also recommended nonprofit organizations such as the National Endowment for Financial Counseling and Financial Education (www.nefe.org). The Social Security Administration website (ssa.gov) has a calculator that allows workers to estimate their retirement earnings based on their own work records and estimated retirement age. The National Academy of Social Insurance has materials online about the impact of delaying Social Security benefits (www.nasi.org/WhenToTakeSocialSecurity). With national discussions about Social Security frequently in the news, some workers may worry whether the system will be there when they need it. That should not influence a personal decision about when to draw benefits. “Social Security will be there if you wait,” Sharpe said. The system is fully financed for about the next two decades and is three-quarters financed thereafter, she said. “Despite what you may hear, lawmakers have some good options to fix the system for the long haul,” she said.

Manchester Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors makes June visits Submitted by Manchester Area Chamber of Commerce

Members of the Manchester Area Chamber of Commerce made their first stop in June at Fabulous Fridays to celebrate the move to their new and larger store. Owners Christine Fangman and Angie Anderson said the new location on the corner of North Franklin and East Main has doubled their space and allowed for more products and display areas. Ambassadors were also invited to check out their sister store in downtown Independence. The second visit was to “Bushel & A Peck” where ambassadors met owners Dave and Cookie Cole. Cookie told ambassadors about the shop’s fresh fruits and vegetables, the recent addition of Edgewood Locker meats and their own fresh baked goods.

Bearinger named Oelwein Economic Development Director

Oelwein Chamber & Area Development (OCAD) announces a new team member. Bruce Bearinger, Iowa State House Representative and longtime Oelwein resident, will begin his duties as Economic Development Director this summer. He will work alongside longtime Director Sally Falb, who announced her resignation slated for Sept. 15, as well as with Deb Howard, current Chamber Coordinator. Falb, who has been Economic Development Director for 11 years, will use the next few months for transitioning Bearinger and Howard into their new roles. Howard, who has been the Chamber Coordinator for the past four years, will transition into Chamber Director with added responsibilities and assist with local and downtown economic development. Bearinger comes to this position with much experience. He is a current member of four state committees, one being the House Economic Growth Committee. He said, “I see a great deal of potential for economic growth in House District 64, as many people who work and shop in Oelwein are from other parts of the district, and vis versa. My lifelong dedication to agriculture will serve the position well as our state’s #1 industry is a key to long term growth in Oelwein.”

AmeriCorps NCCC Serves with Buchanan and Black Hawk County Conservation Boards An AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps) team is serving with the Buchanan County Conservation Board and Black Hawk County Conservation Board (CCB) from June 30 to August 28. The team is helping in conservation efforts in order to further the CCB’s mission of improving quality of life through conservation and education. The team of six from the North Central Region campus in Vinton is completing a variety of tasks focusing in conservation and education. The team is clearing hiking trails, removing invasive species from prairie lands, building and facilities repair and improvement, and disc golf course relocation. The team is also planning and carrying out a community education outreach day by serving in the RAGBRAI bike ride as it passes through Buchanan County. This AmeriCorps service benefits the residents of Buchanan and Black Hawk counties through improved quality and health of the natural lands and facilities. The CCBs offer their services free of charge and having the parks, facilities, and trails available to the public is important in fostering a healthy, educated community. The CCBs are run with limited funding and resources and the NCCC service ensures the quality and maintenance of their services. “I’m really excited to be doing service work outside and spending more time in nature. We have the opportunity to really help these organizations,� said Corey Milligan, an NCCC team member from St. Louis Together the Buchanan and Black Hawk CCBs manage over 10,000 acres of land. They provide hiking trails, campgrounds, hunting lands, a disc golf course, and tens of thousands of participants in educational programming every year. Their mission is to enhance the quality of life and stimulate economic development by providing open space, outdoor recreation, education and resource management. AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps) is a full-time, 10-month, residential, national service program in which 2,800 young adults - all 18 to 24 years old - serve nationwide each year. The NCCC program oversees two service tracks – NCCC and FEMA Corps – and members in these programs serve in teams of eight to 12 on three to seven projects during their service. NCCC members serve on projects that address critical needs related to natural and other disasters, infrastructure improvement, environmental stewardship and conservation, energy conservation, and urban and rural development. FEMA Corps members focus solely on emergency management and long-term recovery activities through FEMA. The North Central Region campus in Vinton, Iowa is one of five regional campuses. The other campuses are located in Baltimore, Sacramento, Vicksburg, and Denver.

In exchange for their service, members receive $5,645 to help pay for college or to pay back existing student loans. Other benefits include a small living stipend, room and board, leadership development, increased self-confidence, and the knowledge that, through active citizenship, people can indeed make a difference. AmeriCorps NCCC is administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service. For information about AmeriCorps NCCC programs, visit www.nationalservice.gov/nccc Pictured: AmeriCorps Maple 4 Team Members completed their site orientation at Fontana Park on June 30.

Iowa Records first West Nile Virus case of 2014

Drink Up!

Water plays many important roles in the body and is essential for basic life function. It helps to protect vital organs and joints. It aids in waste removal. It helps regulate body temperature. Water also helps absorb other important nutrients in the body. Water is present everywhere inside the body. According to the Iowa State University Extension, blood is 92% water, muscles are 75% water, bones are 25% water, and the brain is 75% water! It is important to stay hydrated throughout the day. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink. By the time you feel thirsty, your body may already be slightly dehydrated. If you think you need to be consuming more fluids, try these basic tips to help you drink more water: 1.Drink water with every meal. Put your fork down between bites and take a drink. 2.Eat more fruits, vegetables which have a high water content. 3. Keep water with you at all times‌ at home, at work, and in the car. If it’s not there, you can’t drink it. Make proper hydration a habit and make water your preferred hydration choice! No cost! No calories!

The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) announced the first confirmed human case of West Nile virus in Iowa this year. The case is an adult male (18 to 40 years of age) from Clay County, who is recovering. “This West Nile case should serve as notice that the virus is out there and Iowans should take precautions,â€? said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. West Nile virus is transmitted through mosquitoes. The best way to prevent the virus is to eliminate mosquito breeding areas and to use insect repellent when outdoors. Iowans should take the following steps to reduce the risk of exposure to West Nile virus: •Use insect repellent with DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Always read the repellent label and consult with a health care provider if you have questions when using these types of products for children. For example, DEET should not be used on infants less than 2 months old and oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under 3 years old. •Avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active. •Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, shoes, and socks whenever possible outdoors. •Eliminate standing water around the home because that's where mosquitoes lay eggs. Empty water from buckets, cans, pool covers and pet water dishes. Change water in bird baths every three to four days.

The News & The Guide

Recent heavy rains and flooding in Iowa could lead to an increased number of mosquitos this summer. These ‘flood’ mosquitoes rarely carry the West Nile virus; therefore, heavy rain and flooding don’t necessary result in increased West Nile virus cases. Mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus tend to lay eggs in stagnant water. This is why it’s important to eliminate standing water. If flood waters pool and become stagnant in ditches or other recesses, it is possible West Nile virus-carrying mosquitoes could breed there as well. It is when flood water lies stagnant for several weeks the threat of mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus increases. Approximately 20 percent of people infected with West Nile virus will have mild to moderate symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches and vomiting. Less than one percent of people infected become seriously ill and rarely someone dies. Since West Nile first appeared in Iowa in 2002, it has been found in every county in Iowa, either in humans, horses, or birds. In 2013, there were 44 human cases of West Nile virus and zero deaths.
