An architect’s rendering of the proposed Winnebago County public safety center.

Third vote to come on public safety center

Hampton Chronicle

For the third time, the Winnebago County Supervisors will seek public support for a new public safety center.

Voters previously rejected two proposals for a public safety center over the past year, although support was considerably higher during the second vote. Last March, voters turned down a proposal for a $5.25 million facility in Forest City by a vote of 49.2% in favor and 50.8% opposed. The public safety center committee came back with a plan for a leaner, $4.6 million facility, which went before voters last November. That proposal fell short of the 60% approval rating needed, with 57.19% of voters saying “yes” and 42.81% saying “no”. About 10% of voters in the November election did not cast a vote on the public safety center measure.

The supervisors, who were joined by new supervisor Bill Jensvold after November’s election, went back to look at various options for the public safety center after the second failed vote. Jensvold favored converting the Thompson school building into a public safety center, but estimates show that option would cost as much if not more than building a brand new facility.

The supervisors concluded that the plan for the $4.6 million facility in Forest City is the right way to go for Winnebago County, and last month, they passed a resolution stating that they are in agreement on the plan. The facility would house the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Dept., E911 dispatch, Emergency Management and a jail. The new

jail would have 22 beds in nine cell “pods”, which are used to separate inmates based on several classifications.

The proposals for a new public safety center came after warnings from the state jail inspector that the current facility does not meet state code and may be shut down. The current, 80-year old building also has issues with water leaks, asbestos and mold; making it a poor working environment for county personnel.

While Jensvold gave his approval to the $4.6 million facility in Forest City, he says he would have liked to give voters a choice between several options, including the Forest City facility, remodeling the Thompson school building, building a new facility in Thompson, and building offices for county

personnel only and paying to house jail inmates in other counties.

Jensvold says that, while Thompson would provide a central location in the county, there are some issues with having the jail there. The Forest City Police Dept. can provide backup if the jail is located in Forest City, but Thompson doesn’t have a police force to provide assistance. The courthouse is also located in Forest City, and it would take more time and resources to transport jail inmates to the courthouse if the jail were in Thompson.

Cost estimates for housing inmates over the next 20 years show that building a new jail is the cheapest option for Winnebago County taxpayers.

The total cost to build and operate the proposed $4.6 million facility over

20 years is $8,826,200. An option to build a smaller facility with a 24-hour holding cell rather than a full jail is estimated to cost $10,443,020 when factoring in the cost to jail inmates outside the county. The estimated cost for a facility with no jail or holding cell, which would only include offices for county personnel, is estimated to cost $11,099,971 over 20 years when factoring in the cost to house inmates elsewhere.

If these projections hold true, Jensvold says building a new jail facility is the county’s best option. He notes, though, that Kossuth County built a new jail in 2001 with the expectation that they would need more space for inmates, and their jail population did not increase as expected.

The Kossuth jail is one place Winnebago County could send inmates if a new jail isn’t built here, along with the jails in Cerro Gordo and Faribault Counties. An agreement struck now with a neighboring county may be subject to changes in the future, however.

“It is awful nice to be independent and be able to take care of yourself,” said Jensvold, noting that millions of dollars will be spent in the coming years even if a new jail is not built. “One way or another, the money’s going to be gone.”

Jensvold says the soonest the public safety center could go up for a vote again is in May, as the county is required to wait six months between votes. The supervisors plan to wait until after the next vote before purchasing land for the facility.

Relay for Life wins national fundraising award Winnebago County held one of the top Relay for Life fundraisers in the nation last year, as measured by dollars raised per capita.

Winnebago County finished 10th in the nation for counties with a population between 10,000-14,999, with a total of $7.69 raised per capita. Team leaders and others on the Winnebago County Relay for Life organization met on Thursday, Jan. 15 to be honored for this national award.

In 2014, 19 teams participated in Relay for Life in Winnebago County, raising a total of more than $43,000.

Team included: 3K3, Advanced Door Systems, Ag Performance, Bulldog Strong, Court House Team, Gals of Many Colors, God’s Squad, Iowa Gold Kettle Corn, Litchsinn Motors, Livestrongwinn2, MBT, Opals Gems, Strides of Hope, Team Honor, Team Hooter, TSB, Waldorf College Relay Warriors, Walking Eagles, and Winnebago Women of Hope.

The local relay was supported by 39 corporate sponsors last year, which donated almost $24,000. They include: A & B Welding, Ag Performance, Albert Lea Medical Center, American Legion Post 121, Bison Graphics and Awards, CDI, Christensen Farms & Feedlots, Christianson Interiors, Corporate Farmer, Cummins Business Services, Dave’s Auto Service, Farm & City Insurance, Farmers Cooperative Association, Farmers Trust and Savings Bank, Forest City Family Dentistry, Friesenborg & Larson Custom Spraying, G & H Motor Parts, Hassebroek Refrigeration, Johanson Law Office,

Cancer events. These events were hosted at all three school districts in

the county, including North Iowa, Forest City and Lake Mills.

In total, $81,500 was raised last year for Relay for Life in Winnebago County. This money supports research to find better medicines and procedures to fight cancer here in Iowa, with most research being conducted at the

Cancer Research Center at University of Iowa Hospitals in Iowa City.

Twenty years ago, the cancer survival rate was 40%. Today, the survival rate has improved to 70%. Research, funded by Relay for Life, is finding the medicine to fight cancer better than ever before.

The View from Here

Buffalo

Center

by Dennis Guth

Iowa State Senator District 4 dennis.guth@legis.iowa.gov • 641-430-0424 The 2015 session began January 12. As the newly elected Senators were sworn in, I was reminded of the oath I took two years ago to defend the Federal and State constitutions. I take that oath seriously, and I frequently ask myself, “Does the Constitution really give us the authority to do what the bill before me proposes?” There has been too much assumption the Legislature can do whatever it wishes. Even worse, it has been the opinion of many governmental agencies they can or should make rules that end up being the equivalent of law.

One of our American Republic principles states that only elected officials should make laws. That makes the rule makers accountable to the people. When a legislator, county supervisor, mayor, or school board member acts outside of the wishes of the people, he is voted out of office. When officials on state or federal agencies act outside of the wishes of “We the people,” they have very little recourse. It is my goal to return more power to the people of Iowa.

One of the biggest issues this session will be how to increase funding for our roads. Rather than saying, “Just pass the gas tax,” the Governor has charged the Legislature with the task of finding a way to fund our roads in a way both parties can support.

The debate is not whether we need more money for our roads. Rather, the debate is do we raise taxes to do that or do we find ways to redistribute the dollars we already receive?

I am concerned with the attitude we have of raising taxes whenever we want more to spend. If we raise the gas tax this year to fund roads, what happens when we are short on funds

for schools? Do we just raise the local option sales tax? What happens when we are short on healthcare funds? Will we raise income tax to pay for that? Asking the people of Iowa to pay more, more, more, must stop!

I am considering various proposals that take a percentage of the General Fund and assign it to roads. Some of those would prioritize the funding of secondary roads. I think this approach would be of the greatest benefit to rural counties. These proposals take the funds we are already collecting and force us to check all of our priorities. Are all of these funded items more important than roads?

With new committee assignments this year, I am no longer on the Senate Ag and Appropriations committees. Instead, I will be serving on Economic Development as well as on Rules and Administration, which deals with the rules governing the Senate. I remain on the Administration and Regulations standing sub-committee, which deals with the budgets of 15 state agencies. I also sit on the Local Government committee, which deals with legislation regarding cities and counties.

Here’s something to keep in mind – “When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves,” (Anthony J. D’Angelo).

I welcome your input. If you are in Des Moines, please stop at the Capitol for a visit. My first forums will be Feb. 6 (Garner: 8:30 a.m., Kanawha: 10 a.m., Britt: 11 a.m.) and Feb 13.

Amy Michaelson Igou

Amy Michaelson graduated from Buffalo Center-Rake High School in 1987 and went on to graduate from Luther College with a degree in Accounting and Computer Science.

From there, she started work at John Deere in Moline, IL in various positions in Accounting and Financial Systems. During this time, she was able to travel to several worldwide locations to help implement financial systems, which gave her her first opportunity to travel overseas, mostly Europe.

She also obtained her Masters of Business Administration degree from St. Ambrose University in Davenport while working in Moline.

One of her favorite jobs during this time was training employees to use the computer systems. This ignited her desire to go into higher education.

After taking adjunct positions in the Quad Cities, she decided to leave John Deere after nineteen years and pursue a

doctorate degree. In 2010, she started her PhD program at Southern Illinois University and graduated in December 2014.

Amy is now an assistant professor in Accounting at the University of Northern Iowa. She teaches accounting information systems to all accounting majors at the university. She feels lucky to have found a position that closely matched her interests in a location near to her family and which also worked well for her husband’s career.

Some of the classes that Amy took in high school greatly influenced her career choices through the years. Two teachers in particular had a significant impact. First, Mr. Dotseth introduced her to programming in BASIC on the Apple II+ in the relatively new computer lab. She has been doing some programming and working with computing applications ever since.

Mr. Matthias introduced her to the field of accounting. One of her favorite projects was the packet of documents used to record the business transactions for a small company for a period of time. It’s been all debits and credits ever since. Both of these introduction classes got her interested in fields that she had not considered prior to that time.

She was lucky to be able to merge both of these interests into her career at John Deere and now at UNI. Thinking about her days in high school, Amy remembers spending a lot of time on the road for speech tournaments throughout the state. The team traveled the morning of the tournaments, which meant many 4 a.m. starts.

These tournaments, along with the

steak supper Tuesday evening with retiring Administrator Henry Hofbauer as a special guest. It was announced that Murray Berggren would become the new Home Administrator on January 1 of this year.

Everything is ready for the Snowmobile Rally set for January 19 just south of the intersection of Highway 9 and the Rake blacktop. Races are open in stock, super stock and powder puff classes. A special one this year has been added as a Kiddie race. Dr. Jay Rush represents the American Legion, and Dennis Hassebroek represents the Bison SnoWanderers Snowmobile Club.

50 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, January 21, 1965 Arnold Frerichs, grocery manager at Wilson’s Super Valu Store, was elected to the position as Chief of the Buffalo Center Volunteer Fire Department. He succeeded Jake Kiewiet who served in that capacity for six years.

The first baby born at the Buffalo Center Hospital in 1965 was a little girl, Jorja Rae, born to the proud and happy parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Heitland of Buffalo Center.

60 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, January 20, 1955 Seibert Claussen, our barber, is also a real artist who mixes paints, color, and oils with the same dexterity as he does lather. He has a fine eye for color in nature. One of his great delights is to close his shop on a weekend, and with Mrs. Claussen, go on a motor trip to northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin where he stores up sights that he has seen. Later, in his tiny studio back of the shop, he recalls these things and obtains his desired results. His is a wonderful talent and vocational hobby.

Life or death for more than 6,000 of the 40,000 polio victims stricken in 1954 depended on iron lungs and other breathing aids, according to a preliminary report for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.

W

hen a snack attack hits you, your mood may influence the flavor you crave. Taking a more mindful approach will let you savor what you eat and give you a more satisfying snack experience.

Mindful eating is all about being more aware of what foods you choose – such as the connection to your senses and emotions.

Being more conscious of snacking habits can help you make smarter, well-balanced choices and be more intentional with your snacks to be sure you’re truly answering your craving.

Hone in on your senses of taste and touch with these ideas so you can sit down and savor your next snacking session:

Sweet

• Enjoy the natural sweetness of fruit with a parfait by layering your favorite fruits with plain or vanilla yogurt and topping with a handful of granola.

• Top a slice of banana bread with a smear of rich, creamy spreadable cheese, such as The Laughing Cow Creamy Swiss, and add a crunchy protein punch with walnuts.

Salty

• Slice a potato in paper-thin pieces and bake in a single layer at 400°F for about 15 minutes, flipping half-way. Sprinkle with a dash of sea salt before serving either alone or with dip.

• Jazz up plain popcorn with an assortment of lightly salted nuts and dried fruit.

You may not see it, smell it, or taste it but

Radioactive gas may be in your home.

It’s called radon and it can cause lung cancer. The only way to know if there is a radon problem is to test.

Testing your home is simple. Call your local environmental or public health department to find out if test kits are available in your area.

Or, call the Iowa Radon Hotline at 1-800-383-5992.

Crunchy

For more satisfying snack suggestions, visit wwww.thelaughingcow.com.

• Dip pretzel sticks in a light coating of melted chocolate (roll in crushed nuts while chocolate is still wet for extra crunch).

• For a fresh take on traditional veggies, top mini bagels with a creamy sun-dried tomato and basil spread, such as the Creamy Mozzarella, SunDried Tomato & Basil Flavor by The Laughing Cow, and add your favorite veggies (cherry tomatoes, roasted red pepper, mushrooms, etc.) for a delicious white pizza.

Creamy

• Treat your taste buds with a richly flavored cheese spread, such as those available from The Laughing Cow, smeared over a thinly sliced baguette or multi-grain muffin.

• Mash an avocado with a dash of salt, pepper and garlic; add a squeeze of lime juice and some diced tomatoes for an instant guacamole dip to enjoy with corn chips or tortilla wedges.

Art auction surpasses expectations

Mr. Steve Bergeson accepts payments from the winning bidders at the conclusion of the silent art auction last Friday night at North Iowa. Bergeson said he hoped the art department would raise somewhere around $500 to $1,000 with the fundraiser, but they were quite pleased to have a final tally of $2,382. Almost all of the items up for auction sold for at least $5.

Buffalo Center (Iowa) Tribune

The North Iowa art department held a tremendously successful fundraiser last Friday, Jan. 16, with a silent auction during the home basketball games. Art students, along with their teacher, Mr. Bergeson and community members, donated works of art for the auction, which was held to raise money for art supplies – in particular, a new electric potter’s wheel. The artists reached that goal and have money left over for future supplies, as the auction brought in a grand total of $2,382.

New queen reigns on the court

The North Iowa After Prom committee sponsored the annual Queen of the Court contest during the January 16 home basketball games against Belmond-Klemme. Four fathers of students in the junior class volunteered to receive makeovers to compete for this year’s title, and the crowd donated money to their favorite contestants. From left are: Aphrodite, Dainty Denny, 2014 Queen Miley Circus, Trixie LaRue and Tilly Toot.
