Ida Grove administrator Dennison resigns

T

he Ida Grove City Council received a resignation from City Administrator Marc Dennison during the council’s regular scheduled meeting March 19.

Dennison, who has been with the city since May 1, 2017, informed the council of his decision to resign near the end of the meeting. It was not listed on the agenda.

The following is the prepared statement Dennison read to the council: Dear Mayor Whiteing and city council members: This letter is to formally notify you that I am ending my employment with the City of Ida Grove, effective on May 1, 2018.

I appreciate the professional, training, social and personal development opportunities I’ve had while with the City of Ida Grove. Thank you for the support you have provided me during my tenure here.

Dennison did not say what his future plans are.

Following a closed session March 6, the council placed Dennison on a performance improvement plan. The plan was implemented on March 12 and was to remain in effect until May 1, at which time the council was slated to evaluate Dennison’s employment status.

On Thursday, March 22, the council held a special meeting to discuss the administrator position and how best to handle the upcoming transition.

Councilman Ryan Goodman opened the discussion by saying he would like a “smooth transition” from Dennison to the current city hall staff and the next administrator. Good-

man asked Dennison to organize the administrator’s of ice so that, on May 1, other city of ice staff and the next administrator would be aware of what has been completed and what projects need to be followed up on.

Goodman added, if Dennison completes that process before May 1, he could leave his position early, but still be paid through May 1.

Councilman Scott Tomlinson added Dennison will need to delegate some of his work to other staff members over the course of the next month, in order to make sure things are well organized.

Dennison noted he does need to delegate more responsibility and will be doing so. He added he has started the process of getting things organized and completing the projects he can.

Deputy City Administrator Heather Sweeden noted she is feeling a little overwhelmed by all of the things that are being and will be delegated to her. The city will look into bringing in some part-time help to ease the situation.

Mayor Devlun Whiteing stressed the need for the entire city hall staff to act professionally in the next month and to get along with one another.

Dennison said the council needs to get started on the hiring process. The council plans to advertise the administrator position locally before expanding the search.

Dennison said it would be best if someone from Ida Grove or the immediate area were considered irst because they would have knowledge of the local community, its people and the council.

G-H/S-C boards con nue to study building costs The Galva-Holstein and Schaller-Crestland School Boards toured the Early and Schaller school buildings as part of a joint work session March 22.

The tour was part of the ongoing process the two boards have undertaken to study possible changes in their whole grade sharing agreement and ways school buildings could be utilized to save money in the event operational sharing money from the state is curtailed.

Operational sharing money is money the districts receive from the state as incentive to whole grade share. Both districts currently receive

around $140,000 per year in sharing money.

Shared Superintendent Jon Wiebers noted the two boards are in a fact-finding mode, and no decisions on changes to the whole grade sharing agreement or realignment of building usage have been made.

Wiebers said some of the options being considered are moving the middle school from Early to Schaller and moving the Schaller Elementary students to Early, making the fifth grade classes part of the whole grade sharing agreement and changing how the Galva building is (continued on page 2)

(continued from front page) payers.

“We recently had an individual my deputies felt should be committed, due to mental health issues. The individual was taken to Horn Memorial Hospital, where the ER doctor determined the person needed to be committed. It took 48 hours before a hospital place was found for that person.

That is ridiculous.

“The norm is usually 24 to 36 hours, which is plenty long enough. There is a real cost to these things. A deputy had to stay at the hospital for the 48 hours until a bed was found for that patient. Our taxpayers end up paying that cost. The lack of beds for RTFs and mental patients is a problem. Iowa is close to being the worst in the nation.”

Harriman told commission members he is looking at innovative ways to decrease the cost in the jail. He said, “A lot of our problems meeting budget come from the jail, either as extra meals, inmates with medical issues, inmates with expensive medication and even bad teeth. While they are in our jail, we have to cover those expenses.

“Today (March 20), I met with Bob Morrison, owner of Innovative Monitoring Systems, and the county attorney to discuss GPS bracelets.

These bracelets would not cost the county any money and give feedback every 15 seconds on the exact location of the individual wearing one.

There are a couple ways these could work for us.

“Work release inmates pay a fee for that privilege, but, every time they enter or exit the jail, they are booked in and out, which takes staff time.

Another issue is, many times, they try to bring in contraband. And, we still feed them at least one meal a day.

“The cost of the bracelets is $6.50 per day while active.

There is no up front costs or software charges. With the use of these ankle bracelets on low risk offenders, we would save staff time, save on meal costs and, if that person has a health issue or costly medications, we’d save that cost.

Those costs can be signi icant.

Last year, one inmate cost us $9,000 due to medical issues and medications. Next month, I plan on bringing a cost analysis and other information.”

Supervisor Rhett Leonard told Sheriff Harriman and the commission that the State Auditor noted the Ida County Public Safety and Communications Commission meeting minutes need to be approved, signed and published in the newspaper. Harriman and commission members noted the approval of the minutes is always the second action item

on the agenda.

Harriman said, technically, under the 28-E agreement, a commission member is to be appointed secretary and take the minutes. He also commented that this has never been done in the 20 years he’s been the sheriff.

Another topic that Harriman spent some time discussing was legalization of marijuana.

“My opinion may be different than others,” said Harriman. “We had an individual complain about our Facebook post on hemp oil and THC laws in Iowa. That individual’s supplier in Colorado called me and demanded we take down the post. I told the supplier I wasn’t going to, as the public needed to know, if they got caught with it, they were breaking the law. Iowa already has medical marijuana approved.

“Some of the reasons are from a report I read issued by the Smart Approaches to Marijuana study group. They are: 1. States that have legalized marijuana are leading the nation in marijuana use among every age group. Colorado leads the nation among youth age 12-17 who reported being irst-time users, which is a 65 percent increase since Colorado legalized marijuana.

2. Colorado has seen an increase in the number of youth arrested for marijuana use and those on probation for other criminal offenses who have tested positive for THC. 3. Legalization advocates have stated in their argument that legalizing marijuana would decrease black market activity. However, in Colorado, criminal activity surrounding marijuana has been ampli ied. In 2016, Colorado seized 7,116 pounds of marijuana, carried out 252 felony arrests for marijuana and made 346 highway interdictions of marijuana headed to 36 different states, eight of those were headed to Iowa. In addition, there has been an 844 percent increase in postal marijuana seizures and, in Colorado, agents have responded to a 50 percent increase in the number of illegal marijuana grow operations since legalization.

4. Most alarming is the trend that drugged driving and motor vehicle fatalities have increased in states that have legalized recreational marijuana. In Colorado, the number of drivers intoxicated with marijuana and involved in fatal crashes increased 88 percent from 2013 to 2015.

Harriman reviewed February statistics and arrests. February arrests highlighted pertained to a dissemination of obscene material to a minor, child endangerment, eluding and second offense OWI, mar-

ijuana and illegal prescription drug charges, sexual abuse and burglary. Harriman noted Jason Engelking pled guilty to the December 2017 burglary at Village Shoe Shoppe in Ida Grove and is waiting for a bed at a RTF. Harriman also touched on two March arrests. One involved a 15-year-old O-A/BCIG High School male student making threats on a bus. “The young people need to be commended for coming forward and talking to Mr. Miller. As soon as we were noti ied, we talked to those students and then the student making the threats. He was taken into custody and charged with making a terroristic threat. At the recommendation of the juvenile court of icers, he was released. I don’t know what the school will do, but I want you to know we take very seriously and investigate all threats.”

Harriman also discussed an illegal parking complaint call that came in March 11 at approximately 10:30 p.m. According to Harriman, the complaint was on Altona Street in Holstein. Two of icers arrived at the scene and determined most of the cars were at the house to the north of the complainant. They approached the house and could hear a lot of noise and attempted knocking at the door. While knocking, they could detect a strong smell of marijuana and called Harriman.

Harriman said, “All juveniles in the house were secured, and a search warrant was obtained. As a result of the investigation, three juveniles from Ridge View and one from O-A/ BC-IG deemed to be under the in luence of marijuana. Three other O-A/BC-IG students had arrived just before the deputies arrived and had not been using marijuana. Four were charged, and three weren’t based on our investigation.

On Monday, we noti ied the schools about those involved for school disciplinary action.

The case remains under investigation.”

Under personnel, Harriman reported he is down two dispatchers in the communications center, one due to Arlene Nollen retiring; the other is recovering from a non-workrelated injury. Sergeant Corey Trucke, jailer Lena Hawthorne and a part-time dispatcher from Cherokee County are helping out. Harriman would like to replace Nollen as soon as inancially possible.

The search for a second jailer is underway. Sheriff Harriman hopes to have the new, full-time jailer on staff by midMay. “All of us, deputies and dispatchers, appreciate that you funded having a second jailer,” Harriman commented.

In other personnel matters, Harriman noted all employees went through defensive tactic training recently and that all certi ied staff will do haz mat operational level training in April.

“Our current (2018) budget is on track, unless some catastrophe hits,” said Harriman.

BC-IG D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) graduation is April 20 at 2:30 p.m.

G-H D.A.R.E. graduation will be in early May. Under new business, Sheriff Harriman discussed school safety.

He said, “Twelve years ago, when Dr. Post was the superintendent at Galva-Holstein, I was looking at putting an of icer in the school, just to build relationships with the students. I’d like to begin dialogue with the superintendents at O-A/BC-IG and G-H/ Ridge View about having a school resource of icer (SRO) in the high schools. Part of the reason is to have students develop relationships with law enforcement, but other aspects would be to discuss sexting and social media and drug and alcohol use.

“I tried for years to get a grant to cover a resource of icer but was always turned down. I’d have to discuss the costs associated with having a SRO in the schools and how to share those costs.”

The Ida Grove City Council received a resignation from Ward Two councilwoman Amanda Lichtenberg during the council’s regular scheduled meeting March 19.

During a special meeting Thursday, March 22, the council appointed former Ward Two councilman Doug Clough to the council to serve until this November, when the position will be put up for election.

At the March 19 meeting, Mayor Devlun Whiteing announced that Lichtenberg had resigned. She was not at the meeting. Whiting said Lichtenberg told him that she was too busy to ful ill her role as the Ward Two council representative. Lichtenberg was elected last November and took of ice Jan. 1.

The appointment of Clough came after the council talked with Clough and Jeff Gilbert.

Both men were in attendance at the meeting to express their desire to serve on the council.

Terri Treiber and Jamie Hewitt also expressed an interest in the council position.

The council selected Clough over Gilbert, based on Clough’s previous experience on the

(continued from front page) used.

“I’ve put together some rough numbers, but the boards want more specific numbers if we shift grades and if we make fifth grade part of whole grade sharing,” said Wiebers. “They want to know if there are extra costs or if there will be some savings and what impact there would be on the G-H district.

Right now, we’re trying to determine our costs to operate buildings.

“One of the options we are looking at is, if we have to make cuts because of the possible loss of operational sharing money, what does it cost to operate the Galva building? We are looking

at alternative uses for the building within the district and if someone in the community can make use of the building.

“We’re looking at a lot of scenarios, but no decisions have been made. When you only receive 1 percent in new money from the state, but your expenses generally increase 2 to 4 percent, you have to take a long-term view.”

The two boards will conduct additional work sessions next week. The S-C board will have a work session on April 2, and the G-H board will have a work session on April 3. There will also be a joint work session on April 3.

Clough noted he left the council in order to be more active in Ida Grove’s economic development, but soon after leaving of ice, he realized he could do more for economic development by being on the council. He added there are other projects that are “near and dear” to him that he would like to see completed or pursued.

Gilbert said he has been considering running for the council for the past several years. He said his motivation for being on the council comes from a desire to see the community grow and that he cares about what happens to the community.

When asked, both men said, regardless of which man the council chose for the Ward Two opening, both would be candidates in the November election.

IG council hears about sidewalk concerns

T

❚ by MIKE THORNHILL

he Ida Grove City Council heard from three residents of Twin Pines Addition about the recent letters the city sent out regarding removal of snow from sidewalks. The comments came during the council’s March 19 meeting.

The city sent out 115 letters in late February to residents who had not cleared their sidewalks after a snowfall. The intent of the letters, which included a ine, was to make residents aware of the fact the city intends to begin enforcing its ordinance that requires sidewalks be cleared of snow within 24 hours of the end of a snowfall.

The Twin Pines residents, Dennis Meek, Millie Meek and Delores Borchers, expressed their concerns about the unique location of sidewalks in Twin Pines. The sidewalks lay right next to the street and there is no grass area between the street and sidewalk. As a result, when city snowplows push snow off the street, the snow ends up being pushed onto their sidewalks and can be several feet deep at times.

It was noted many residents of the area have not scooped sidewalks in several years because of that fact.

Mayor Devlun Whiteing noted that, since the letters were sent out, the city has become aware of several “problem areas” in the community where the current snow ordinance may not be the best answer.

“We may need to adjust our ordinance accordingly,” said Whiteing.

Curly Kruse also attended the meeting and drew the council’s attention to several areas in town where there are no sidewalks where there should be sidewalks. He also noted there are a couple of areas in town that are similar to the sidewalks in Twin Pines.

After discussing the issue, the council decided to have the council’s transportation committee look at the current snow removal ordinance and to make recommendations on possible changes that would be fair to all residents.

The snow removal ordinance led to additional discussion on other city ordinances the city has started and will continue to more strictly enforce, including lawn mowing, sidewalk repair and debris in yards. It was noted 25 letters were sent out to residents the

week before the city council meeting to address various ordinance violations.

In other business •Whiteing noted a meeting was to be held Tuesday, March 27, with various community groups that use the community hall to gauge their interest in continuing to use the building and if they would be willing to help provide funding for a possible renovation of city hall and the community hall.

•Action on appointing Geraldine Dankert and Karen Wiertsma to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Kim Carnine to the Board of Adjustment were tabled until the city can contact current board members to ind out if they would be willing to serve as joint members of Planning and Zoning and the Board of Adjustment.

•A task order from JEO Engineering relating to the water main extension along Father Dailey Drive and the development of a ire hydrant on the north side of Midwest Industries was approved. Survey work was to begin last week.

•The council okayed a proposal from Executive Technology for a new copy machine for city hall. The cost to lease the machine is $151 per month, which is the same price the city currently pays, for 63 months. The price includes maintenance and toner replacement.

•Prior to the council meeting, council members met with Nicole Peterson, Siouxland Interstate Metropolitan Planning Council regional planner, to continue work on the city’s comprehensive plan. A draft plan will be made available in the near future for public review on the city’s website and at city hall. The current schedule calls for the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission to review the draft April 23 at 5 p.m., and a city council public hearing to adopt a inal plan is currently slated for May 7 at 6 p.m.

•The council approved the purchase of a new John Deere commercial lawn mower from Noteboom Implement at a cost of $9,400.

•The council gave the go ahead to cancel a contract with A&M Laundry to wash heavily-soiled clothing and other items used by the waste water treatment plant staff and other city maintenance workers. The city plans to pur-

chase a combination washer and dryer unit from Brenner’s Entertainment for $1,500. The city anticipates the purchase should pay for itself in about two years.

•A contract with Xtreamair Wireless Internet to rent space on the water tower for antennas for a new Internet service was approved. The initial rent is $150 per month. The future rental fees will be based on the number of subscribers to the service. The city will also receive free Internet for up to six locations operated by the city.

•The council also gave Deputy City Administrator Heather Sweeden the okay to attend eight days of classes at the Municipal Professional Institute in July, additional Internet security measures from Evertek and the establishment of equipment depreciation accounts for each city department.

•It was noted Ida County Economic Development Director Rita Frahm has been in contact with Jan Hewitt about a proposed housing development on property he owns in Ida Grove. Hewitt will be back in town in mid-April to discuss the matter.

•During a special meeting March 22, the council gave Bob Lorenzen, city parks director, the go-ahead to put up insulation in bathrooms in the concession stand at the Kiwanis ball ields at a cost of $600. The council will look into heating the restrooms at a later time.

The city had received a request to turn on the water to the bathrooms the week of March 26 to accommodate the Kiwanis soccer program.

There is concern with the cooler-than-normal weather that the waterlines in the bathroom may freeze.

Ida Grove comprehensive plan presented Ida Grove is updating the city’s comprehensive plan.

The public is invited to come review the draft comprehensive plan April 23, at 5 p.m. at the Ida Grove Recreation Center.

Topics included in the plan are housing, economic development, transportation, parks, community facilities and services.

E9-1-1 board approves soil boring bid The Ida County E9-1-1 Service Board approved a bid for soil boring at the Ida County Landfill during its meeting March 20 in Ida Grove.

E9-1-1 Coordinator Ed Sohm reported he’s filed an application to install a communications tower at the landfill with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Aviation Administration.

If the FCC and FAA approve the application, the next step is to have a 50-foot deep soil boring done.

At Sohm’s recommendation, the board approved a

$5,343 bid for the Geotechnical report.

Sohm said the proposed tower would have 11 spots for antennas. Top spots would be for fire and emergency services. No decision has been made on moving the sheriff ’s repeater to the new tower.

“There is 95 percent mobile coverage with the statewide system in Ida County, but if a deputy is outside his car there isn’t adequate service with that system,” said Sohm. “Sheriff Wade Harriman and I will be investigating the situation in the near

future.”

Sohm also discussed the pros and cons of accepting a tower building from Woodbury County or building a tower room in the building at the landfill. Sohm noted the building would need heat and air conditioning.

Present at the meeting were Ida Grove Mayor Devlun Whiteing, Battle Creek Mayor Lloyd Holmes, Holstein Mayor Connie Ludvigson, Galva Mayor Stan Nading, Ida County Supervisor Rhett Leonard and Galva Township Fire Board representative Craig Peterson.

G-H audit report released Kay L. Chapman, CPA PC of Muscatine released an audit report on the Galva-Holstein Community School District in Holstein.

Schultz from the Senate by: IA State Senator Jason Schultz (R) District 9

Special election issues came to the forefront in the last few weeks, irst in the House and then the Senate. HF 2369 is a bill to set special elections on the same day most other elections are held, which is Election Day in November. This is when the highest amount of people know to go to vote.

The elections impacted by this bill are (1) a proposition to authorize an issuance of bonds by a county, township, city, or any local board or commission; (2) a petition concerning issuance of debt by a school corporation or (3) a question whether a city or county shall impose a local option sales tax.

Bond issuances in response to disaster emergencies would be exempted from this election timing restriction.

Most government entities that hold these types of elections are registered opposed.

Yet the legislation keeps moving forward. It appears to me we have a few moving parts at play in this issue. The irst is the consistent ask for more money from community colleges, schools, cities and counties.

While they tell us they are all chronically underfunded, they then tell us they are happy to pay for their own elections on the date of their choosing. The

amounts vary, but the election costs could typically pay for at least one teacher or employee.

The legislation reduces this cost for them.

Additionally, many citizens, taxpayers, and legislators are frustrated with the cycle of putting a bond vote up, failing, trying again immediately, failing, scaling back the project, trying again, failing, etc. I hear from constituents who want a set of rules that do not encourage starting with a high cost proposal that may exceed the actual needs of the community, just to fail and lower the ask and try again. The people back home who have reached out over the years want a break between votes so the government entity seeking the bond has an incentive to propose more realistic projects at the irst vote. I would add again the recurring elections all cost money the local entity must pay, while claiming to be underfunded.

The last item is the belief special elections do not actually represent the will of the local voters. I was in a conversation here in the Iowa Capitol just last week with a group of four publicly funded lobbyists and government employees.

I summed up what I was hearing with this question, “So you do not want the elections to be on the normal Election Day because you are afraid the average voter will just vote no when they see a few bond questions all at the bottom of the ballot?”

They all vigorously agreed.

“And you prefer having a special election because uninformed voters won’t turn out, but the select people you reach out to for support will show up, giving you an advantage?” They all again nodded their heads, except for one, who realized what they had just admitted.

I don’t want to rig the system against the service providers who need occasional bond support. But it isn’t right to the taxpayer for a system to allow for larger than needed asks, with immediate plans for a new election, at a special time selected by the body asking for the additional tax dollars. An informed electorate is needed to make decisions for the community.

The widest selection of voters is preferable in order to best represent the needs and desires of the community.

If there is a better way to do this, I am open to listening. But we need to put the taxpayers and the voters at the same table as the tax asking body.

The Beatles are arguably the most in luential band of the 1960s. The Liverpool, England, Fab Four cranked out 12 albums from 1963 until 1970 and 17 number one hits. Their effect was so far reaching that they could have ended Gary Streck’s 50-year career as an Ida Grove barber before it even began.

Streck, a Deloit native, became interested in becoming a barber during his Little League baseball playing days.

“Our barber in Denison was also our coach,” said Streck.

“He was a good coach and friendly person. It always was a jovial atmosphere at his barbershop. It was fun to hear and be part of the conversations.”

When Streck graduated from Denison High School in 1967, he attended the Sioux City Barber College. The course lasted for nine months and covered nerves, muscles, bones and diseases of the scalp. “We learned to cut hair much like it was done in the 1950s,” said Streck. “Flat tops were part of the curriculum, and we were taught to taper the back of the neck. Blocking the back of the neck wasn’t done.” At the end of the ninemonth school, Streck passed his state board test to be an apprentice.

The Sioux City Barber College did not teach to the Beatles-in luenced long hair; the style included a part in the middle, hair halfway down the ears and a block-cut at the neck. Streck estimates that Iowa lost one-third of its 4,000 barbers in the 1960s, because they refused to learn how to cut long hair. “I had to teach myself how to cut that style,” stated Streck, “and sometimes a high schooler wanted it and his parents didn’t.

“A parent once gave [local barber] Roger Spotts explicit direction to cut his son’s hair as a lat top; when his son came in, Roger informed him of his dad’s wishes. The boy left and got his hair cut long at another barber. Later that day, his father pulled his son in by the hair to Roger’s shop to get a lat top.”

There were four barbers in Ida Grove when Streck apprenticed in 1969. Streck apprenticed with Spotts. The other three were Pat Torpe, Carl Cunningham and Bob Miens. “You have to understand that there wasn’t any shortage of customers back then, with a farmer every quarter section,” said Streck.

“And, every farmer had a few

Gary Streck kids. We were all certain we’d have a spot in town for a long time.”

When Streck began in the late 1960s, adults could get a haircut for $1.75 and kids for a $1.50. Hot towel and tonic treatments were extra. A shave was just a dollar. “When I was at the college, one of my irst shaves was for a SpanishAmerican War Veteran,” stated Streck. “The older fella had chewed tobacco all of his life, and it had stained his beard and skin. It took me four lathers to get that stain out, and I told myself that I would stop shaving as soon as I could.”

When Streck’s one-anda-half-year apprenticeship with Spotts came to an end, he took and passed a state board test, thereby earning his license as Master Barber.

“I still remember learning a lot from Roger during my apprenticeship,” said Streck.

“The Sioux City School was good, but I learned customer service and the business side of barbering from Spotts.”

Over the past 50 years, Streck has been at ive different Ida Grove locations.

He bought Spotts’ shop and stayed at the building, which was close to the current Courier newspaper location. In 1974, Streck bought the dry cleaning shop, where he operated his business for 12 years. In 1986, he tore down that building and built a new one. In 2012, he moved to the location two buildings to the north of the Courier. Streck’s barbershop is now located in

the castle building just north of Food Pride and west of Bomgaars.

In Streck’s new shop, you’ll see some familiar trademarks of his longevity as Ida Grove’s Barber. “I still have the cabinets from Spotts’ Barbershop, a 40-year-old coat tree I bought in Holstein for $25 and a radio I purchased for $27 at the Holiday Station in Denison,” stated Streck. “I bought my barber chair in 1986 for $1,500 and had it reupholstered twice–a new one costs $2,500.” The basics of the trade are also present: clippers, blending shears, straight shears and blow dryer. Good clippers can cost up to $200.

As proof that Streck is customer-centered, there are four new comfy waiting area chairs for his customers. Also present is a sizeable lat screen TV, wall-mounted and playing the latest favorite hunting shows. When he isn’t working during the muzzleloader, bow or shotgun deer seasons, you’ll ind the avid sportsman in a tree stand. Streck is in the Pope and Young club for bagging a 148 3/8 point buck.

After a half-century in the barber business, Streck shows no signs of retiring at 68-years young. His curlysandy hair is a testament to a youthful attitude. “I still like the people and the camaraderie,” stated Streck. “Like my sign says, I charge $15 for a haircut, $5 for a beard trim.

And, the BS is free.”

“These opportunities are very important to the success of the 4-H program in Ida County,” stated Laura Johnk, Ida County youth coordinator. “It certainly would not be possible without a great deal of support from the community.”

Bravo Amici

Bravo Amici presents “A Grand Night” in Holstein Bach has been quoted as saying, “The great object of music is to touch the heart.”

Bravo Amici, in concert at Holstein March 10, did all that and more. In point of fact, they nearly shattered the audience’s capacity for sheer happiness. Such an exalted state of being can only be reached if a person is willing to accept what is offered openly and unconditionally. Listeners who were lucky enough to be in the Rosemary Clausen Center for Performing Arts that night opened their minds as well as their ears.

Folks came to see Bravo Amici with little, if any, preconceived notions of what they were about to experience. The ensemble was billed as a “crossover group with a distinctive way of interpreting classic, pop and opera offerings.”

They had coalesced from such divergent locations as London, New York and New Zealand to present a new musical genre they call “pop opera.”

What they gifted the audience with was, indeed, a crossover into a whole new musical dimension.

Three tenors and two divas equaled five on the stage. Five-the magical number from numerology, which signifies, “Freedom.”

Freedom from established rules of order and hidebound ideas. Their contained bit of vocal volatility about blew the assemblage out of the auditorium; it certainly did blow their minds.

Bravo Amici’s sound is that intense.

“The world will be better for this,” they sang (from “Man of La Mancha”), and it was like a prophesy summing up the next two hours. What a brilliant performance-pop music saturated with bravura, Broadway songs sung a la opera, opera offered for every man rather than the black tie crowd.

One of the night’s highlights was the seduction song from Bizet’s “Carmen,” crooned to Jeff Cronin by the delightful divas.

This was followed up by “Happy Birthday,” done as a variation on an operatic theme. Now, that’s a natal day he won’t easily forget.

Then, there was “Unchained Melody,” sung

in Italian as well as the drinking song from Verdi’s “La Traviata.” The first mentioned was terrific but the latter was simply stupendous.

A person wouldn’t have thought the walls could have withstood all the whistles and shouts of acclamation-there are, after all, more than a few beer drinkers in the local environs. However, they held, and the concert went on.

Intermission brought relative calm, but it didn’t last long. Solos by each of the Amicis included pieces from “West Side Story,” one made famous by the great Caruso, “Les Miserables,” “Phantom of the Opera” and “How Great Thou Art,” sung partially in Maori. Each one was a thing of heartstopping beauty.

The show concluded with “Nessum Dorma” from Puccini’s “Turandot.”

Sleep? Who could sleep after a night like this? It was grand.

Kudos to the Clausen Center Board for bringing Bravo Amici to town. In words of one syllable, “They.

Were. Great.”

Discovery Scholarships available to local seniors Flint Hills Resources is pleased to announce the availability of its Discovery Scholarship at local schools near the Arthur ethanol plant.

Discovery Scholarships are intended to help support the educational goals of outstanding graduating high school seniors from communities where the company operates.

Since 2012, the company has awarded close to $200,000 in scholarships to students in Iowa.

The Discovery Scholarship program awards one-time, $1,500 scholarships to graduating seniors who intend to pursue careers in STEM (sci-

ence, technology, engineering and math or agriculture).

The scholarships can be used to cover tuition costs at the college, university, technical college or trade school of students’ choice. The program is part of Flint Hills Resources’ commitment to supporting quality educational opportunities in local communities where the company operates.

“A quality education is the foundation of a successful career,” said Darrell Birck, vice president of operations at Flint Hills Resources. “The Discovery Scholarship program recognizes outstanding, hardworking students

Freese turns demoli on derby passion into promo on career Candice Freese of Galva has turned a passion for demolition derbies into a promotion career that has garnered national recognition by the sport of demolition derby.

“To most it’s just a sport that crashes cars, but, to me, it’s a lifestyle,” says Freese.

Freese will be known as the demolition derby promoter of Northwest Iowa for 2018, also having shows in Missouri and Kansas. She is no stranger to the sport, as she makes two treks a year to Topeka, Kan., to manage the largest indoor demolition derbies in the world, Blizzard Bash in November and Capital City Carnage in March.

Freese works under the current promoters, Tim and Russ Clark of Smash It, who bought the events from Sam Williams and are the sole promoters in 2018. Freese began in 2014 with Williams of Ultimate Derby and has earned respect for her role in nurturing the two indoor shows while turning them into must-see productions on the derby landscape.

The Clarks have kept her on as a valuable asset.

“I don’t know how or why I got to this point in the sport, but, I wouldn’t change it for anything,” Freese said.

Not only did Ultimate Derby put on the two big shows; they also had a whole summer schedule, including the largest points series in the Midwest.

At the end of 2017, Ultimate Derby closed, leaving the lead role available, resulting in the name change to Domination Motorsports, a new promotion company owned by Freese to ill the void left by the closure of Ultimate Derby.

Freese has brought back the same crew and same shows and has added new things to keep the same reputation that Ultimate Derby had of being the best. “It’s a lot of hats to wear, but the relationships mean a lot to me. I’ve got peo-

Candice Freese ple I call friends from coast to coast,” Freese said as she expressed her excitement for the new adventures.

Domination Motorsports will have 12 shows over the course of the summer, starting April 7 in Moville and ending Sept. 1 in Hawarden. The complete schedule is available on her website. www.dominationondirt.com, or can be found on Facebook, while searching Domination Motorsports.

Freese, 28, also serves as the of ice manager for G&C’s, a family business owned by her dad, Gaylen Freese of Galva.

She is a 2007 graduate of Galva-Holstein High School.

Freese has been in the sport of demolition derby her whole life. She grew up watching her dad for many years and eventually climbed into a car at the age of 13. Freese mentions the Ida County Fair Demo being one of her favorites, back in the day.

“I’m just a small-town, derby girl at heart,” Freese said. But, it’s impossible to overlook the impact she has had on the national derby scene and national derby events.

“Never in my wildest dreams would I think I’d be doing any of this.”

Windschitl from the House by: IA State Rep. Matt Windschitl (R) District 17

Freedom Amendment This week in the House, I had the privilege of running a proposal that I and many of my colleagues have been working on for more than six years now. This proposal is aimed at enshrining in our state constitution modern day recognition and protections of our right to keep and bear arms.

You see, Iowa is one of only six states in the country that has no speci ic protections for our Second Amendment rights in its constitution. Back in 2012, I ran a similar proposal through the House, but it was never brought up in the Democrat-controlled Senate.

The need for this type of proposal is rather simple really.

If a future legislature or perhaps a runaway judiciary were to try and enact arbitrary restrictions on your right to keep and bear arms, Iowans would be left with limited options to try and get those restrictions removed.

Over the past 10 years, we have made many advancements on further recognizing and protecting Second Amendment freedoms in Iowa, most notably the irearms omnibus bill, which I authored last year. The omnibus was roughly 15 different irearmsrelated issues wrapped into one bill. While it was not easy to get this large of a package through the process, we were ultimately successful and the freedom-enhancing bill was signed into law last April.

All it would take to have many of these freedoms stripped from us would be a future legislature repealing or altering Iowa Code. Hence, the need to have in our state constitution strong protections of our individual fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

The proposal is simple and straightforward, and it will codify what the U.S. Supreme Court has already established in the landmark decisions they have handed down in recent years. The language in the proposal is a modern day approach to clearly de ine our fundamental rights and remove any ambiguity about what our founders truly meant when they authored the Bill of Rights.

The proposal is House Joint Resolution 2009, and here is what the language says: Right to keep and bear arms. SEC. 1A. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The sovereign state of Iowa af irms and recognizes this right to be a fundamental individual right.

Any and all restrictions of this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny.

The debate on this proposal took a little over three hours, and there were many legislators who took to the loor to express their support of the Second Amendment, but then in their next breath would exclaim how we need further “gun-control� and more “arbitrary� restrictions on law abiding citizens. Many people argued that the strict scrutiny language in the proposal

would somehow undo the current irearms laws we already have on the books and also prevent a future legislature from enacting any new “common-sense gun reforms.�

The bottom line on these arguments is that, while many politicians will claim to support our right to keep and bear arms, they do not view our rights in the same way that many of us law abiding citizens do. They instead choose to view our individual, fundamental right as lexible or adjustable in order to it in with the times and culture.

This is an extremely dangerous view to hold and one of the main reasons we need to enshrine in our constitution clear and unambiguous language protecting our rights, not just for those alive today but for the future generations as well.

When it comes to the argument against the strict scrutiny language, let us irst truly understand what this really means. There are three basic levels of review that the courts can use when determining if a law or regulation meets constitutional muster. Strict scrutiny is the highest and most stringent level of review they can use. In order for a law or regulation to withstand a constitutional challenge under strict scrutiny, it must be narrowly tailored to effectuate a compelling government interest. This means the government will not be able to pass new laws or regulations that are arbitrary and have them upheld in court.

The main intent of this proposal is to put restrictions on your government and prohibit it from taking away your individual, fundamental right to keep and bear arms. While some people in our society today are clamoring for government to place new restrictions on law-abiding citizens in order to somehow miraculously protect us from evil people, I think we should instead be looking at ways to further protect and enhance the law abiding citizens freedoms in order for them to protect themselves from those with evil in their hearts as well as their governments ever increasing desire to diminish our fundamental rights.

The Senate also passed HJR2009 this week, and we are now one step closer to getting this language added to our state constitution.

The process to amend our constitution requires that a proposal like HJR2009 be passed by two separate general assemblies, and then it will be placed on the general election ballot in 2020 where Iowans will get the inal vote on the proposal. So, while we have completed one leg of this journey to protect our fundamental rights, our work is not done. We must continue to elect people in the upcoming November elections who will ight to protect our rights and not back down in the face of adversity.

for many Iowa families. It has had a very negative impact on the insurance market, leaving thousands of Iowans with skyrocketing premiums and no choice. Faced with unaffordable options, some Iowans have been forced to borrow money and go into debt to pay their health insurance premiums.

I have heard from many constituents on the need for the State of Iowa to do something to help these families.

This week, the House took action on a plan to provide more options for these families and hopefully ease their health insurance burdens.

The plan would provide the option of purchasing health bene it plans that are high quality and affordable options for health care. The plans are not the same as your typical insurance, but function like insurance did prior to the ACA. The plans are optional for those Iowans without insurance or who are about to lose their insurance. These plans would be sponsored and administered by Iowa based organizations. Health bene it plans act like insurance, and it is estimated that these plans would be half the cost of plans available on the individual exchange.

Another aspect of this proposal is the creation of Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangements (MEWA). This option would allow small businesses and associations to pool together to buy group insurance plans. By doing this, more individuals would be included in these plans, spreading risk and lowering premiums. These MEWA plans are a good option for small businesses and its employees.

Ultimately, Congress needs to act on the issue of health care. Too many Iowans are being left behind. House Republicans are moving forward with these innovative, state-based solutions to ensure Iowans have access to high quality, affordable health coverage. We cannot wait for the Federal Government to act any longer.

individuals 18 years and older.

The goal is to provide an option for 24-hour mental health care without the need for inpatient or court commitment.

Individuals are provided access to mental health professionals on a daily basis and work with The Turning PointCrisis Home Staff to develop a Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) to identify triggers, coping skills and strategies to reduce the crisis and reduce the incidence of crisis in the future. Additional service needs as well as after-care are vital components for the long-term recovery plan, which are established and put into place.

Individuals who come to Turning Point do so at no cost to them. Funding is currently

provided by the Rolling Hills Region. Plains Area Mental Health, Inc. has applied to Iowa Medicaid for this to be a Medicaid reimbursable service. This region is comprised of Buena Vista, Cherokee, Carroll, Calhoun, Crawford, Ida and Sac Counties. “While the certi icate of accreditation is in the name of Plains Area Mental Health Center, it is, of course, the staff of Plains Area Crisis Home who have earned this achievement,�

Keleher said. We hope that all Northwest Iowans who use The Turning Point Crisis Home will share in the pride we feel and join us in thanking the staff whose dedicated work in providing high quality services has earned this accreditation.�

New Iowa license plates coming Remember when Iowans voted on new county standard license plate designs online and at the Iowa State Fair last August? The chosen design is now ready to roll off the production line at Iowa Prison Industries and they will start arriving in county treasurers’ of ices (and appearing on Iowa’s roads) in the next few weeks.

Cash-back dividends benefit farmers, ranchers, communi es Farm Credit Services of America (FCSAmerica) announced that eligible customer-owners in Buena Vista, Calhoun, Cherokee, Ida, Pocahontas and Sac Counties will receive checks this month totaling more than $4.1 million – their share of the inancial cooperative’s $200 million cash-back dividend for 2017.

The share of FCSAmerica’s 2017 dividend returned to Iowa customer-owners amounts to $80.7 million. Eligible customer-owners served

by FCSAmerica in Northwest Iowa received a total of $12.84 million in cash-back dividends as part of the 2017 patronage program.

FCSAmerica has distributed a portion of its net earnings to eligible customer-owners every year since 2004, returning a total of $1.5 billion to farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses in Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming.

“Our cash-back dividends are an important way of sharing FCSAmerica’s inancial strength with our customerowners,” said Al Patten, FCSAmerica’s Northwest Iowa regional vice president. “Our cash-back dividends are one of many important ways that we carry out our mission of supporting rural communities and agriculture.”

Each eligible customer’s cash-back dividend is based on the average loan volume during the calendar year. The more eligible loan business customers have with the cooperative, the more they bene it inancially through cash-back dividends.

The FCSAmerica Board of Directors approves each year’s cash-back distribution in December based on a number of factors, including the cooperative’s inancial performance. During the 14 years that FCSAmerica has distributed cash-back dividends, net income has grown to $582.4 million from $294 million and members’ equity has increased to $5.1 billion from $1.5 billion.

For more information on the 2017 cash-back dividend, including county-by-county distributions, visit powerofownership.com.

As with prior plates, the graphics for the new plates will be on re lective sheeting that’s manufactured by 3M Company. The inal sheeting 3M produced is a new, highde inition sheeting with better re lectivity, which means the new plates will be easier to see and read both at day and night.

While the new plates began rolling off IPI’s production line in Anamosa March 19, you likely won’t see them on vehicles in the state until sometime in April. To avoid waste and expense the state will not replace all plates at one time, but will instead transition the new design into the existing plate replacement cycle (plates have a lifespan of 10 years and are replaced automatically when they are more than 10 years old). That includes new plates that are issued for newly acquired vehicles, replacement plates for

those that have reached their “end-of-life” at 10 years and plates that are issued to replace lost or damaged plates.

One thing that will make the transition smooth and cost-effective is the automated plateordering system implemented with IPI and Iowa’s county treasurers a few years ago.

The automated system tracks plate inventory at each county treasurer’s of ice to predict inventory levels so plates are produced and delivered as they are needed.

After the old plate sheeting is used up IPI will transition to new sheeting and start shipping plates with the new design to county treasurer of ices throughout the state.

Because counties issue plates and receive new inventory at varying rates, it may take a few months for the plates to reach all county treasurers’ of ices, but by summer the new plates should be in all counties.

Each county treasurer keeps license plates in stock so they have what you need when you need them. The treasurers won’t be issuing the new plate design until the inventory of old plates in that county is used up. If you want to get the new design, it’s best to contact your county treasurer and see when they expect to begin issuing those. If they are issuing the new design, you can get one for $5, even if your current plate isn’t up for replacement.

As a reminder, the new plate design will be available for county standard plates and special emblem plates, but plates already designed with a special background (like collegiate plates) will not change.

You can still get personalized plates, this change doesn’t affect the availability of personalized plates on county standard plates, collegiate plates, or specialty plates.

Social Security

by Brian DeMoss Social Security District Manager Spencer/Storm Lake Every birthday deserves celebration, but some seem a little more special than others. Think of a baby’s irst birthday. Sweet 16. The “Big 4-0.” Then, before you know it, along comes 65.

This last milestone is especially important to retirees.

For nearly half a century, American workers looked to 65 as the age at which they could stop working and inally reap their full retirement bene its under the Social Security Act of 1935.

Today, however, the full retirement age is now 66 or 67, depending on when you were born. In 1983, Congress changed the law to increase the retirement age gradually over a 22-year period, citing improvements in the health of older people and increases in average life expectancy. To ind out your full retirement age, visit www. socialsecurity.gov/planners/retire/ageincrease.html.

If you’ve contributed enough to the Social Security system through payroll taxes, you still

can claim your retirement bene its at 65—or 62, 63, or 64, for that matter — but your monthly payments will be permanently reduced.

For help deciding which age is right for you to start receiving Social Security retirement bene its, read, “When to Start Receiving Retirement Bene its” at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/ EN-05-10147.pdf.

We have also made applying for bene its easier than ever.

You can do it online. To apply for bene its, please go to www. socialsecurity.gov/applyforbene its.

That said, age 65 should still factor in prominently as you prepare for retirement and a stable inancial future, because that’s when most American workers irst become eligible for Medicare health insurance coverage.

To see if you’ve earned enough credits through work to qualify for Medicare at age 65, view your Social Security Statement online, using your personal “mySocialSecurity account.” Create or log on to your account at www.socialsecurity. gov/myaccount.

If you’re already receiving Social Security bene its before age 65, we’ll automatically enroll you in Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Medicare Part B (supplemental medical insurance), effective the irst day of the month you turn 65. Watch your mailbox a few months before your birthday for your Medicare card.

Otherwise, three months before your 65th birthday, you can apply for Medicare Parts A and B online at www.socialsecurity. gov/applyforbene its.

Your Initial Enrollment Period for Medicare starts three months before your 65th birthday month and continues for three months after. To learn more about Medicare enrollment and coverage, please visit www.socialsecurity. gov/medicare. To learn more about Medicare coverage, visit www.medicare.gov.

Social Security is with you through life’s journey, on your irst birthday and the many more that follow. Learn how we help you and your family secure today and tomorrow through our inancial bene its, information, and planning tools at www. socialsecurity.gov.

Iowa’s United States Senators have introduced a bill that will affect three major rural conservation programs.

On March 15, Iowa Senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst joined with their compatriots on the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Senators Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Bob Casey (D-Penn), to introduce the Give Our Resources the Opportunity to Work (GROW) Act of 2018, a bipartisan bill that focuses on conservation efforts in rural areas.

One of the goals of the act will be to make adjustments to the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Established in 1985 and administered by the Farm Service Agency, the CRP removes environmentally sensitive land from agricultural production by contracting with landowners to not produce in those areas for 10-15 years at a time, giving the land time to recover from soil erosion and providing habitat for endangered species.

As of 2015, 24.2 million acres of farmland were enrolled in the program.

However, the program has fallen under criticism for being too enticing for landowners. As commodity prices drop, landowners will enroll large parcels or entire farms into the program. “As a result, many beginning \RXQJ IDUPHUV DUH KDYLQJ GLIĂ€ culty accessing farmable acres, which is hampering our efforts to engage the next generation,â€? said

Ernst in the announcement of the act.

The GROW Act would restrict the CRP to enrolling 24 million acres of land and make the most prime farmland ineligible for enrollment. It would also preclude the enrolment of entire farms into the program while limiting signup rates. Likewise, the amount of county cropland able to be enrolled in the CRP would be limited.

While the GROW Act implements stronger limits on the CRP, it also enhances support for other major conservation programs.

While CRP removes land from agricultural production entirely, the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) serve farmers looking for a middle ground that allows them to produce on their land while still being conscientious of the environment.

Administrated by the US Department of Agriculture, EQIP and CSP brings farmers together with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to develop conservation plans for farmland.

EQIP offers support for roughly 200 conservation practices, from planting cover crops to building a waste storage facility. Farmers simply need to apply to the NRCS with their plans and wait to see if they are approved for funding.

While EQIP serves largely singular projects, CSP is a larger program that helps farmers develop a comprehensive strategy to maximize production while minimizing environmental impact.

With 70 million acres of land enrolled in the program, CSP is the largest conservation program in

the United States.

The bill is exciting news for the Center for Rural Affairs, D QRQ SURĂ€ W RUJDQL]DWLRQ WKDW works to help farmers navigate these kind of government programs. “We’re excited that there’s a big emphasis in this bill to provide farmers and ranchers with the tools they need to protect and enhance the health of their soil and water resources,â€? said Anna Johnson, policy associate with the Center for Rural Affairs.

From translation help for Spanish speaking farmers to helping landowners transition from EQUIP to CSP, the Center for Rural Affairs is looking forward to the prospect that these programs will continue to be funded and streamlined. “Our farmers and ranchers have an important job to be stewards of their land,� said Johnson. “There are some important working land conservation programs under USDA that allow them to do that.� “In Iowa, I hear concerns from producers about how conservation programming has strayed from its congressional intent of targeting and removing environmentally sensitive land from agricultural production,� said Ernst. “The GROW Act will revise and strengthen the current provisions of CRP, CSP, and EQIP to restore the intent of the programs and help farmers and ranchers protect soil and water resources. The legislation will refocus conservation spending on marginal land, water quality, and wildlife habitat, as was intended by Congress, and ensure our young and beginning farmers have greater access to farmland.�

“Conservation of America’s natural resources is critical for successful farming operations, increased agricultural productivity and quality food and energy production,â€? said Grassley in the release. “Healthier farmland equals a healthier America. The next Farm Bill must address preserving our soil and water and ensure that farm programs accomplish the goals we give them. I’m happy to join this effort by Senator Ernst to make sure we spend our conservation dollars in the most HIĂ€ FLHQW ZD\ WR PD[LPL]H WKH goals of programs like CRP while minimizing distortions in land markets.â€?

Where the GROW Act has been introduced to the Senate, a similar bill, the Strengthening Our Investment in Land (SOIL) Stewardship Act of 2018, has been introduced to the House of Representatives by Rep. Tim Walz (D-Minn).

The SOIL Stewardship Act also provides funding for CSP and EQIP and makes provisions to HQVXUH IDUPHUV UHFHLYH WKH Ă€ QDQ cial support for adopting conservation practices. “Maintaining our soil health is critical. Farmers are some of our best conservationists in this regard; it just makes good business sense,â€? said Walz in his release. “By empowering our farmers and ranchers to continue to feed, fuel and clothe the world while maintaining the health of our resources, this commonsense bill beneĂ€ WV ERWK WKH HQYLURQPHQW DQG WKH producer’s bottom line.â€?

Both the GROW Act and the SOIL Stewardship Act will be considered as Congress works out a comprehensive farm bill later this year.

Social Security

by Brian DeMoss Social Security District Manager Spencer/Storm Lake What day of the month do I get my Social Security payment?

Timing is everything and the arrival time of your monthly payment from Social Security can be key to keeping your inancial house in order.

As you budget to pay your bills and save for future needs, keep in mind that your monthly retirement or disability bene it will be paid at the same time each month. To see your next payment date, create or log on to your “my Social Security” online account at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount and go to the “Bene its & Payments” section.

In general, here’s how we assign payment dates: • If you were born on the irst

through the 10th of the month, you’ll be paid on the second Wednesday of the month; • If you were born on the 11th through the 20th of the month, you’ll be paid on the third Wednesday of the month and • If you were born after the 20th of the month, you’ll be paid on the fourth Wednesday of the month.

There are exceptions. For example, children and spouses who receive bene its based on someone else’s work record will be paid on the same day as the primary bene iciary.

For others, we may issue your payments on the third of each month. Among other reasons, we do this if: • You iled for bene its before May 1, 1997; • You also receive a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment;

• Your Medicare premiums are paid for by the state where you live or • You live in a foreign country.

Individuals who receive SSI payments due to disability, age or blindness receive those payments on the irst of each month.

If your payment date falls on a federal holiday or weekend, you can expect to receive that month’s payment on the weekday immediately prior.

You can see a current schedule for Social Security and SSI bene it payments in an easy-toread calendar at www.ssa.gov/ pubs/EN-05-10031-2018.pdf.

Social Security is with you through life’s journey, helping you to secure today and tomorrow through important inancial bene its, information, and planning tools. To learn more, please visit www.socialsecurity.gov.
