East-Central Iowa REC and CIPCO’s solar field energizes Submitted by ECI REC

folio. With utility-scale solar, all members benefit from this new generation asset, not just those able to purchase a residential solar system or buy into a community solar option. East-Central Rural Electric Cooperative, a memberowned, not-for-profit electric cooperative, provides electrical service to more than 8,700 residential, commercial and industrial members. The service territory spans 11 counties with 2,280 miles of electric lines. CIPCO is Iowa’s largest cooperative energy provider serving 13 electric cooperatives and associations spanning 58 of Iowa’s 99 counties.

Help carve creative pumpkins and fill with nutritious treats for resident raccoons, fox, bison, ducks, crow, bear, turkeys, and rabbits in the Fontana Park Wildlife Display 9 AM Saturday, Oct. 29 at Fontana Park, south of Hazleton. The filled pumpkins will be placed in animals’ enclosures for a treat that’s a trick to get into. Groups of eight or more will be asked to bring a pumpkin for every 3-4 people. Participants may also help supplement the “treats” with grapes, pears, watermelon, and other fruits, eggs, unsalted peanuts in the shell, acorns from yards, peanut butter, lettuce, ear corn, or unsalted sunflower seeds in the shell. Not all pumpkins made will be fed on Oct. 29, some will be fed on the following days. Preregister by emailing fontanapark@iowatelecom.net or call 319-636-2617.

East-Central Iowa Rural Electric Cooperative (ECI REC) and Central Iowa Power Cooperative (CIPCO) officially energized the new utility-scale solar field (pictured) in Urbana on Oct. 14. The 3,708 solar panel field is a part of CIPCO’s 5.5MW utility-scale solar project which is the largest in the state. The Urbana Solar Acres facility will generate 1,393,900 kWh of energy annually, which is enough to fully power up to 139 homes. “ECI REC is honored to be the first leg of CIPCO’s utility-scale solar system to energize,” said CEO Steve Marlow. “As a cooperative, we’re committed to providing our members with responsible, cost-effective and reliable electricity.” Utility-scale solar provides emission and carbon-free electricity generation for members of ECI REC and compliments CIPCO’s existing energy generation port-

Iowa pheasant season begins October 29

Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pheasant hunting tradition will begin Oct. 29, when nearly 60,000 hunters will pursue ringnecks during the weekend. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources annual August roadside survey predicts Iowa pheasant hunters can expect to have good hunting this fall, and likely more company in the field. The optimistic mood is a natural outcome of five consecutive years of higher population surveys and hunter harvests. The survey found an average of 21 pheasants per 30 mile route statewide, with higher counts coming from counties crossing the state diagonally from northwest to southeast. The statewide average in 2015 was 24 pheasants per route. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, it appears much of our corn and beans will be out of the fields by the opener, which will concentrate birds to grass areas and make hunters happy. If we have good weather, I think we could see a bump in hunter numbers and birds harvested,â&#x20AC;? said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife biologist for the Iowa DNR. Bogenschutz said he has noticed more birds near field edges and along the roads as the crops have been coming out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been seeing some birds around on my way in to the office and have been getting a few phone calls from around the state from people also seeing birds,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x153;The birds are here, we need hunters to return.â&#x20AC;? Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pheasant population could sustain a harvest of 500,000 roosters, but it will not reach that level until there are 90,000 hunters afield. In 2015, some 55,000 hunters harvested 270,000 Iowa roosters. Regulations covering pheasant hunting are unchanged from last year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is a limit of three roosters per day, 12 roosters in possession, and hunters are required to wear one piece of solid blaze orange clothing. If hunting public land, be sure to check if steel shot is required. If cleaning the birds in the field, be sure to leave the head, fully feathered wing or leg attached while transporting the bird home. Hunters can read the August roadside survey, review hunting regulations, buy a license and find a place to hunt online at www.iowadnr.gov/hunting

The Sound of Music to be performed in Winthrop Local youth will be featured in a performance of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammersteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tony Award winning 1959 Broadway musical, The Sound of Music, on Nov. 4-6 at East Buchanan School Old Gym in Winthrop. Seniors Gannon Cook and Samantha Fults will perform the roles of widower Captain von Trapp and Maria, a young woman studying to become a nun. Set in Austria in 1938, free-spirited Maria is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer, von Trapp, to assume the role of governess to his seven children. The musical, featuring songs â&#x20AC;&#x153;Climb Evâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ry Mountain,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Edelweissâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do-Re-Miâ&#x20AC;? follows the true story of the Von Trapp Family Singers, set against the tensions leading to WWII and the German annexation of Austria. Performances are planned for 7 PM Friday and Saturday, Nov. 4-5 and 2 PM Sunday, Nov. 6, and admission is $6. A pie auction fundraiser to benefit fine arts programs will be featured Saturday.

October is ... National Physical Therapy Month Protect your back! On any given day, at least 25% of Americans are dealing with back pain, whether it is chronic (long lasting) or acute from an injury. There are basic movements and correct body mechanics to prepare your body for tasks that you do each day. The body and the joints and the muscles around the joints can get overworked or strained with heavy or even lighter repetitious movements. Tip #1: Visualize proper posture. Visualize a string hanging from your ear lobe. In good posture, the string will drop down from your ear through the shoulder, down the middle of the arm, and through the ankle. Your chin should be slightly tucked, and your shoulders should be tucked back and down. Correcting your posture will help take pain away as bad posture is a strain on your neck and back muscles and ligaments. Tip #2: Plan for Lifting and Carrying. Try to estimate the weight of an object and decide if you need help. Get close to the object and face it. Place feet shoulder width apart to provide a stable base for your body. Never bend and twist at the same time. This puts excessive force on the spine

and the discs between the vertebrae. To turn, pick up and pivot your feet, Never twist through your back! Use the strong leg muscles to lift, not your back. Bend at the hips (like a hinge) and knees. Keep your back straight (never round your back). Repeat the same movements with putting the object down. Tip #3: Push Objects rather than Pull. When you push an object you use the muscles in your legs. Lean into the object using your body weight to help push the object. When you pull objects, you tend to use too much force on your back and spinal muscles.

Cover Crops Workshop Nov. 8

Cover crops offer many benefits to farmers and the landscape, from building soil health and boosting yields to reducing pests and improving overall farm resiliency. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another significant benefit to cover crops thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not often discussed: creating seasonal wildlife habitat. Jack Smith, farmer from Epworth said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each year our no-till corn yields go up but our expenses go down. That can only be from the combination of no-till, cover crops and livestock.â&#x20AC;? A lunch and informational meeting will be held on this topic from 10 AM-12:30 PM Nov. 8, Heartland Acres Event Center, Independence. The meeting will cover the benefits of cover crops, how to integrate them with current farm operations and how to use cover crops for wildlife. The event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, so pre-registration is required by no later than Nov. 4 for meal planning purposes.

East Buchanan School Board member Brian Crawford brought up parking at the Oct. 12 board meeting. He said that Mary Donlea, who has met with community members regarding the upcoming bond project, has noted people are still concerned about whether parking is included in the facilities plan. Parking has been a subject of concern for community members throughout the planning process. When there is a big event, whether a football or volleyball game, or an elementary concert, parking overﬂows into the neighboring residential area. The board members conﬁrmed that yes, adding 30-40 parking spaces west of the school is part of the plan. It is not mentioned on the bond proposal as the district plans to pay for it by using other funding sources. Board President Aaron Cook suggested they give some thought to providing ways to help the elderly or disabled who might

have difficulty getting from a parking spot to the school building or outdoor bleachers. The public will have an opportunity to learn more about the facilities project and bond proposal during a Bucs for Bond meeting at 7 Frien and family co PM Wednesday, Nov. 16ds at Quasqueton City nverged on the Jill Wi Hall.
