Thompson is working on the display boards for his Eagle Scout project. One

Gary Nordby discussed a possible park project with the council. The park board would like to install a simple shelter on the other side of the park where the bingo stand is during the Fourth of July.

The shelter would just be four posts with a concrete pad and metal roof. Nordby will get estimates and would like to install the

shelter with volunteer labor in the spring.

The council discussed the 28E agreement presented by the Harrison County Humane Society and the questions City Attorney Joe Lauterbach had after his review. He would like further clarification on a few items from the Humane Society.

City Administrator

Angela Winther reported the renewal increase for the city’s health insurance will be 14.65 percent and four percent for dental.

“It appears to be primarily a base increase and not due to high claims, since we had a two percent credit for claims,” Winther said.

Frisk has spent thepast two years immersed in other cultures teaching first in China and, this year, in Spain.

“The idea of teaching abroad never subsided throughout my four years at the University of Iowa,” Frisk said. “I wanted to not only see the world, but experience it like a local.”

She said it wasn’t a ques-

tion of a particular country at first, it was more a question of choosing a country, since she wants to see and experience every country.

According to Anna’s mother, Dixie, their children always loved learning about their Scandinavian heritage and it didn’t surprise them Anna would take advantage of opportunities that would permit her to live in another coun-

try and experience the culture.

“It does surprise us a little, that she is teaching,” Dixie said. “Even though we always told her she would make a great teacher, she never seemed to think that she wanted to become an educator.”

From the Front

FRISK: Teaching around the world FROM PAGE 1 them she would major in journalism.

“From a young age, Anna was always writing poetry, short stories and each year at Christmas time she and her sisters would make and perform in a play that Anna had written,” she said.

Even though others have told them they are glad their children are not living abroad, her parents feel these are opportunities their children need to take advantage of while they are young.

Frisk graduated with honors from UI in May, 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism and Mass Communications with an emphasis in Asian studies.

She said that although she wasn’t an English major, studying journalism certainly helped her more accurately understand the intricacies of the English language.

“Moreover, studying Asian Studies deepened my understanding of China and the vastly different culture that exists there. As for Spain, studying Spanish in Chile certainly helped prepare me the most for jumping into the language,” Frisk said.

“During my first few cursory job searches, it was easy to see that the demand was greatest in Asia,” she said. “Moreover, because I studied Asian studies and lived in Beijing for a summer working at the 2008 Olympics, China was an easy choice.”

The fact she was already familiar with the culture made it easy for her to send a few emails with her resume and make the leap.

In China, she lived in a city of six million, which is small by Chinese standards, Frisk said. She worked at a college where she independently taught several classes of “Speaking and Listening English” and “Building English Vocabulary.” This included all the usual demands of teaching, including lesson plans, grading and office hours.

Her interest in Spain, where she presently is teaching, came from her desire to perfect her Spanish.

“Once you teach a language, it seems increasingly important to learn another language your-

self,” Frisk said.

Her ability to communicate with the Spanishspeaking population of the United States also will be a valuable asset she can take home, Frisk said.

She lives in Baeza, in the southern most province of Andulucia, a town with a population of approximately 19,000.

The ancient city dates back to the Moorish occupation in the Ninth Century. It also is included in the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization list of world heritage sites.

She is working at a bilingual high school where classes are taught using both Spanish and English.

“This means that I coteach several classes. I teach math, music and social studies instructing in English,” Frisk said. “I also teach an English language class and prepare materials and activities for class and translate textbooks.”

Frisk said she believes there is an inherent curiosity in humans to learn about the world and the people within it. Her students have always been warm and welcoming.

“When I was in China, I was amazed by the excitement my presence aroused in the students,” she said.

According to Frisk, in China, having a foreign teacher is a major status symbol.

“This became even more evident because I was in the middle of the country, much farther from the major cosmopolitan cities of Beijing and Shanghai,” she said.

Frisk said she believes a relaxed environment is the most important element in a language class in China or Spain.

“It can be embarrassing trying to perfectly pronounce strange, foreign words,” she said. “That resulting insecurity can at least be lessened when you feel comfortable making mistakes.”

Frisk said she tries to be as open as possible and listen and learn as much about the culture as possible.

“Speaking the native language creates a bond that sharing a language seems to instantaneously create. Even if you mispronounce the word or miss the tone, the students see

you’re just like them, human,” Frisk said.

Assimilating into China was difficult for her just because with having light hair and blue eyes, she was never going to blend in.

Learning as much about the culture insured she wouldn’t break any cultural traditions or courtesies, she said.

“There are bound to be blunders, but with each experience, I’ve adjusted faster and have learned how important it is to ask questions. You learn to become more independent or life abroad could be torture. As Spaniards say – poco a poco – little by little you learn,” Frisk said.

She has faced many challenges in her years abroad. Such as communicating and learning to tolerate cultural behaviors in China that aren’t condoned in the United States and sharing a country with 1.3 billion people and repercussions of trying to find foods that connect you to home such as cheese and yogurt.

“Missing family and friends and missing the freedoms that come with life in the United States,” Frisk said.

Technology has been a big help in keeping in touch with family.

“We are able to use the software application Skype to make voice and video calls over the Internet,” Dixie said. “We talk on Skype quite frequently, but mostly on weekends because of the difference in time zones.”

Frisk said she has found the culture in Spain much more similar, but many challenges still apply.

“Right now, the top challenges are adjusting to regional language variations, obtaining Internet in my apartment, resisting eating too much cheese and, as always, missing family and friends back home.”

Frisk said she has many plans and goals for her future.

“Ideally, I’d like an international career. I’ve enjoyed teaching ESL because it has allowed me to obtain a work Visa and peek into the lives of people in foreign countries,” Frisk said. “However, I’d like to move beyond the role of an English teacher.

We’ll just have to see what happens.”

VOICES PROGRAM: Helps others FROM PAGE 1 supported community living services on an intermittent basis to persons living in the community.

Mosaic has been a lifeline for Jeff who lives in a group home in Logan. Jeff was 8 years old when he left his home in Davenport and moved into an institution in Glenwood. He has severe intellectual disabilities and is non-verbal. He lived in Glenwood for 34 years. In 2005, when he was 41, he moved to a Mosaic residential home.

When he first arrived, he wouldn’t allow sheets or bedding on his mattress, he would not allow assistance through physical contact and, when encouraged to participate in group activities, he would distance himself and become agitated, said Meta Shutt, manager at the Mosaic home he resides in.

Through consistent understanding care provided by direct support professionals, Jeff started to make amazing progress, Shutt

said.

“He now sleeps with bedding and sheets on his bed and slowly started to allow physical contact when needed and has begun to understand the family-like atmosphere provided.”

Mosaic also made it possible for Jeff to visit his family in Ohio he had not seen for many years.

Advocates for Mosaic Allied Voices are able to speak up for people with intellectual disabilities that may not have family or friends to speak for them.

MAV works in partnership with Mosaic’s Government Affairs Office.

As a volunteer, you become a “first responder” to let elected officials at local, state and national levels know the needs and rights of people with intellectual disabilities cannot be set aside.

First responders receive action alerts from Mosaic asking you to call, write or email officials regarding votes on issues affecting people with disabilities.

The time commitment is small, but the effect of the commitment is big, officials said.

Clint McDonald of Logan, said he signed up for the program about six months ago and has received three emails so far.

“You read through them and if you agree, you act on it,” McDonald said.

The action alerts give you clear and concise information. Each includes a brief history of the issue, the reasons it is important to people with intellectual disabilities, the specific action the official should take and information about ways to contact the official who needs the information.

These issues can include: Medicaid/Medicare, human rights, transportation and employment/training for people with disabilities as well as health care.

To learn more about the MAV program, visit www.mosaicalliedvoices. org or call Payne at 6442234.

ARREST: Three county residents FROM PAGE 1 ing banging noises at the site.

As deputies arrived, they saw the vehicle, a green Kia, traveling west on nearby 170th Street and stopped it. A deputy observed metal piping sticking out the passenger side window, Danker said.

While the vehicle was pulled over, another

deputy inspected the communication tower and discovered piping had been cut out and unbolted, which “matched up with what they had in the vehicle,” Danker said.

The sheriff said the suspects stole the piping for copper.

Deputies arrested the driver of the vehicle, Sara Lindgren, 27, of Mondamin, along with

Nicholas Day, 28, and Dane Larson, 24, both of Little Sioux, on a number of charges, including second-degree theft, criminal trespass, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance.

Danker said American Tower, based in Bellevue, Neb., reported the copper’s value at about $1,000.

COUNCIL: Approves display board FROM PAGE 1 The council will renew the plan with United Health Care of River Valley.

Steve Johnson met with the council to discuss leas-

ing the alley directly behind his business from the city. Johnson said he planned to extend the roof out over the alley and put up gates on each end.

Council members told

Johnson they wanted to see drawings before they take any further action.

A building permit was approved for the Logan Christian Church for a chain link fence.

Just things that make me go hmmm

Down Home

By Sandy Turner

I

am writing this column just before the Thanksgiving holiday.

Lately, I have been thinking about things that make me go “hmmmm” in my head. This can be either a good thing or a bad thing or a “why in the heck is this guy even thinking this” thing.

Dad was at a loss for words when I told him I was turnI thought I’d share ing 50 this week. He kept staring at me as though he was some of those personal trying to add in his head how old that would make him. epiphanies with you.

Finally he said, “I’m glad I’m not that old.”

Why do Americans – or Now that he’s settled into his new home, it seems as though he gave himself permission to give in to the anyone in our newly globdementia. For so many years, he had to work so hard at al world of free trade – remembering, thinking and processing while living alone, need a Ford Escort that it had caused him to be frustrated and angry. Sometimes he can parallel park itself? Is doesn’t make any sense, yet he’s always smiling, and he this really technology I can use – or a gimmick to looks more relaxed than I’ve seen him in years.

He’s always excited to see me and wants to introduce me make an Escort cost a couto his friends. At times he’s not sure who I am. He knows ple of thousand more to he loves me and that’s good enough for him, so it’s good own?

Why is it that when enough for me as well. I’ve been introduced as his wife, demonstrators stake out a girlfriend, daughter and, occasionally, just as “the person I square in Egypt, Syria or love the most.”

Tunisia – that is an examMy biggest fear when making the decision of whether or ple of democracy in action not to take dad out of his home of 60 years, was that he worth protecting by threat would forget who I am. Being his caretaker was my way of of the full force of U.S. keeping him to myself and a hopeful guarantee that, even military might yet in though he couldn’t remember anyone else, he would know America, similar peaceful who I am. demonstrators are forcibly Now that he’s safe and happy, it doesn’t hurt as much as removed and pepper I thought it would that he doesn’t always remember my sprayed? Isn’t this an name or what role I play in his life. I feel a sense of guilt American expression of that I waited so long to give him this sense of peace democracy in action – because of my own selfishness. even if it is uncomfortable It seems the older I get, the more selfish I’ve become.

didates talking about jobs?

That is what I – and most of America — want to hear about in a debate.

The word jobs followed by a plan of action.

Speaking of action – or rather inaction – anyone surprised that the “Super Committee” in Washington has failed to reach a compromise on how to control our spiraling debt? Not much of a “super” committee, huh?

Where is the “hope” the Obama candidacy was supposed to bring? I get times are tough and he inherited a mess – but it appears only the super wealthy have much hope in this country. The rest of us – still trying to figure out this brave new world.

Each year, workers in this country show tremendous gains in productivity.

Yet, no pay rises for those actually producing the gains. Does that really seem like an America that is on the right track? An America where “producers” are rewarded?

Why does the national news think I really care – as part of my early morning NEWScast – what hot new outfit Paris Hilton is wearing or who Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter actor) is dating or what new dish Martha Stewart is creating? Sorry – that’s not news. Never has been, never will be.

Nancy Pelosi? What is up with her? Not a positive role model. A person of the people – who exempts herself from insider stock trading deals that would have the rest of America rotting in a prison cell somewhere. Of course, that same thing can be said about anyone in the Senate or House of Representatives — but she defends it with a smile on her face.

KEVIN BROWN General Manager kevin.brown@ heraldobserver.com 712-644-2705 Penn State – exactly what does it take to get those people’s focus off of football? All I hear about the sad events there always comes back to football.

And, isn’t that what started that scandal in the first place – a misplaced belief that the football program could do no wrong and the institution itself was more important to protect than kids? Makes you think.

And, corporations ARE PEOPLE. Really? When was the last time you invited IBM over for beers and poker? Corporations may be made up of people, but a corporation does not have a Social Security card, it does not have a registered birth date complete with baby footprint and it certainly doesn’t marry or visit grandma in Dubuque for Christmas. And, let’s face it; we learned in “The Wizard of Oz” – you have to have a heart. A corporation doesn’t.

Remember in one of the first presidential debates, several in the audience actually applauded that “a fictional American” who couldn’t afford health insurance should be allowed to die? Really?

Applauded? Is that how callous we have become in this country? I’m a fiscal conservative – and I still think all Americans deserve the same level of care as our dysfunctional politicians. I assure you, if our politicians didn’t have

the princely “insurance and pension” benefits for life they now enjoy (for their solid performance of running our country – see super committee above) you would see a much more comprehensive, less expensive and more holistic health and pension system in this country.

Remember the story about the elderly Iowa couple that were involved in a terrible auto accident and died holding hands in the hospital? Doesn’t that kind of commitment, love and faith cancel out everything above? Doesn’t that single example – and Iowa example mind you – exemplify what is still right in this country?

What is right about living a proud but humble life?

On knowing what is important – and it isn’t dollars, gold or a tanker full of $3.30 gasoline?

For, as much as there is wrong now in the world – greed, corruption and blind faith in institutions of all types – isn’t it good to know the vast majority of Americans DO know what is right, what is good, what is faithful, what is spiritual and what is – dare I say it – moral?

And, the vast majority of those people do all of that on $40,000 a year, driving a six-year-old Chevrolet, and laughing at reruns of “All in the Family.”

Just random things that make me go hmmmm.

Perley’s Bits and Pieces

BOG HAY Shortly after pioneers began to settle in Harrison County, the doctors followed. Many had attended medical school in the east and they also learned folk remedies.

Dr. Libbieus D. Coon moved from Ashtabula, Ohio, to Galland’s Grove in Shelby County. He had studied medicine as an apprentice to a Doctor Holbrook, and was dedicated to healing his new neighbors. Coon moved to Magnolia during the early 1850s but he was so popular he maintained his practice in Shelby as well as Harrison County. He remained popular until he moved to Salt Lake City in 1865.

Mr. and Mrs. Gideon Hawley of Woodbine and J.M. Kennedy of Logan were quoted on the website Harrison County, Iowa History in the Pioneer Physicians section. They, like many others, praised Coon’s medical skills, though Kennedy observed that he had some eccentricities.

The doctor used two favorite remedies:

“Thunder and Lightning” a quick acting remedy, and “Bog Hay.” “Bog Hay” was especially memorable. A neighbor in Shelby County, Mrs. Gus Klooping, was sick and her husband was worried about her failure to improve. In those days, a simple cold might evolve into a lift threatening disease. Kennedy decided it was time to see Dr. Coon while Mr. Klooping stayed with his wife. He rode a day to reach his office near Magnolia. The doctor and his wife invited Kennedy to supper and he spent the night. Both men left for the Klooping’s the next morning.

They stopped at the Chatburn Mill on the Willow Creek for dinner and arrived at the patient’s home in the evening. The doctor noted that Mrs. Klooping was very sick, but he promised she would soon feel better. It was time for “Bog Hay.” He mixed a collection of herbs that resembled fine hay and then poured a quart or more of boiling

water on it. Everyone waited as the watercooled and obscured chemicals from the herbs.

Dr. Coon poured the mess into a teacup, and asked the patient to drink his disgusting fluid. What looked like wilted hay floated on top of a sickly green liquid. Kennedy recalled that, “If you were not seriously ill, you would have to hold your nose while taking the dose, which was a good sized teacupful. I can guarantee the taste and after effects to be quite lasting.”

The doctor remained for a couple of days until his patient felt better. The medicine either helped her or she recovered in

self-defense. No one could say. Ben Homer, another pioneer, had faced the same fate. As he stared at the awful smelling mess, he gulped and said, “It looks like bog hay!”

Dr. Coon was amused and as others heard the comments, the term stuck. Bog Hay became well known, and many families kept Dr. Coon’s herbal mixture for emergencies. It remained a household name even after Dr. Coon moved to Utah.

No one alive knows what was in the medicine. Perhaps it was a lost wonder drug or a patient’s worst nightmare!

HCPH stresses importance of HPV vaccine for youth First cut off period as well as young adults for EQIP programs

By BJ Abrams, RN Harrison County Public Health Human Papillomavirus is the most common sexually transmitted infection.

Approximately 20 million Americans are currently infected with HPV. Another six million people become newly infected each year. HPV is so common that at least 50 percent of sexually active men and women get it at some point in their lives.

Most people with HPV do not develop symptoms or health problems from it.

In many cases, the body’s immune system clears HPV naturally within two years. But, sometimes HPV infections are not cleared and can cause genital warts and cervical cancer.

HPV also can cause other less common, but serious cancers, including cancer of the vulva, penis, anus and throat.

HPV is passed through direct contact, most often during sex. It can be passed between straight and same-sex partners, even when the infected partner has no signs or symptoms. A person can have HPV even if years have passed since contact with the infected person. It also is possible to get more than one type of HPV. Genital warts usually appear as a small bump or group of bumps in the genital area. They can be small or large, raised or flat, or shaped like cauliflower.

Health care providers can diagnose warts by looking at the area during an office visit. Warts can appear within weeks or months after contact with an

infected partner. They can even appear if the infected person has no signs of genital warts. About one percent of sexually active adults in the United States have genital warts at any one time.

Cervical cancer usually does not have symptoms until it is quite advanced.

For this reason, it’s very important for women to get regular screening for cervical cancer. Screening tests can find early signs of disease so problems can be treated early, before they even turn into cancer.

Each year, about 12,000 women get cervical cancer in the United States.

Almost all of those are HPV-associated.

There are several ways people can reduce their chances of getting HPV. Vaccines can protect males and females against some of the most common types of HPV that can lead to disease or cancer. These vaccines are given in three shots and are most effective when started at 11 or 12 years of age, but the vaccine is approved to be given from 9 to 21 years of age. It’s important to get all three doses to get the best protection.

For those who choose to be sexually active, condoms may lower the risk of HPV. To be most effective, they should be used with every sex act, from start to finish. Condoms may also lower the rest of developing HPV-related diseases, such as genital warts and cervical cancer. But HPV can infect areas that are not covered by condoms, so condoms may not fully protect against HPV.

People can also lower their chances of getting HPV by being in a faithful relationship with one partner, limiting their number of sexual partners and choosing a partner who has had no or few prior sex partners.

The Harrison County Home and Public Health Department offers sexually transmitted disease testing and treatment, cervical cancer screening, education and immunizations (including the vaccine to prevent HPV). For more information call, 6442220.

Iowa flu activity includes Novel strain Surveillance by the Iowa Department of Public Health and other partners across the state indicate a novel strain of the influenza virus has been detected in three children in Webster and Hamilton Counties. This virus, an influenza A/H3N2 recombiant virus, has also been detected in other states in recent months.

Symptoms are similar to the regular seasonal flu and include fever, cough,

tiredness, body aches and loss of appetite.

All spread has been human to human, and spread appears to be limited. No further cases had been identified in the last week. Because the virus is unique, IDPH has increased survellance for this strain at clinics and emergency rooms.

No serious illness or death has been reported in connection with this flu strain.

The Logan-Magnolia f\Freshman and Junior High Quiz Bowl teams participated for the first time in the Norris Middle School Quiz Bowl Tournament in Firth, Neb., Nov. 19.

The format at this tournament was somewhat different from other tournaments the teams have played in. The first 15 minutes of each round was a 10-point toss-up question followed by a five-point bonus question. The last five minuets, called the lightning round, were only toss-up questions. This

tournament, like many Nebraska tournaments, also used lock out buzzer systems, that leave no doubt as to who buzzes in first.

Sarah Riley, Ellen McGrew, Taylor Gebel and Sarah Stueve made up the freshman team. They played well and were excited to bring home the third place trophy.

For the first time ever, Lo-Ma also fielded a junior high team. The junior tournament format was the same as the freshman tournament, however, teams

could be comprised of both seventh and eighth graders.

Lo-Ma’s team was made up of seventh graders Tori McHugh, Kristin Foreman, Gina Neild and Jessica Martin. They played very well and were ranked 15th out of 24 teams after the morning preliminary rounds.

Lo-Ma’s next tournament will be the on-line Knowledge Master Open Dec. 7. This is a nationwide tournament and Lo-Ma will be entering both a high school and junior high team.

Science of Parenting: Children’s Brains

Loess Hills Grant funds available

“Children need a lot of experiences for their brains to grow. They need to be active. They need to have connections with adults…and have chances to play and explore and experiment,” Bales said.

“The things good parents have always been doing are exactly what brains need to develop.

Spend time with your children, read to them, play with them…but don’t get yourself stressed out over whether you’re making them smart enough.

“Children also need some breaks. They need some down time. Brains can get overwhelmed, so giving children some time to just play and explore and be children – and not always having to have something scheduled for them – can be really helpful.”

As children approach the teen years, parents still can aid brain development,

Bales said, because the part of the brain that controls planning, judgment, decision-making and risk-taking isn’t fully developed.

“Parents can really support their pre-teen children by helping them assess risks and make good decisions,” Bales said. “If they make less-than-good decisions, help them understand the consequences so they can make better decisions next time.”

The Science of Parenting offers research-based parenting advice from experts across the country. The monthly podcasts are available for free download from the Science of Parenting website, www.scienceofparenting.org,or can be subscribed to in iTunes. Each month, a new, 30-minute Science of Parenting program, as well as previous programs, will be available, as well as blog posts and other research-based parenting information.

Cattlemen’s Convention Dec. 12-14 in Altoona Iowa cattle producers will have several opportunities for experiencing and learning practical information that can be used immediately on their farms at the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association Convention and Annual Meeting Dec. 12-14 at the Meadows Event and Conference Center, Altoona.

“There’s no way producers can lose,” said ICA convention organizer Trent Wellman. “The theme of our meeting is ‘What’s in Your Cards?’ and ICA is offering many options to draw a winning hand.”

“In addition, new ICA members will receive one free hotel night’s stay at either of the ICA convention and annual meeting hotels, and all conventiongoers can save money by registering before the early bird deadline Nov. 28,” Wellman said.

Dec. 12, cattle producers can attend a Cattlemen’s College in the morning. The Pfizer-sponsored event features Dr. D. Dee Griffin, Feedlot Production Management Veterinarian at the University of Nebraska’s Great Plains Veterinary

Educational Center. Griffin will do an economic review of a cost-effective health program as well as analyze the cost of mistakes.

In the afternoon, three cattle facilities in Story County will be part of a bus tour. Each farmer’s facility shows a different approach today’s feeders can consider. The facilities include a hoop building, a modified hoop, which is an open lot combined with a hoop, and a monoslope building combined with an alternative technology system.

In the evening, building

designers will make brief comments before a panel presentation about using crop residues as feed stock.

This program has been under development through a collaboration of John Deere, ADM and Monsanto.

Dan Loy, Interim Director of the Iowa Beef Center at Iowa State University, will pull together the key issues from the afternoon and evening events.

Dec. 13, there will be six different Info-Expo sessions throughout the day.

Topics include: Stacking the Deck for the Future

Cowherd; Hedge Your Bets to Control Your Feeding Cost with High Grain Prices; All in: the NCBA View of National Priorities on Farm Bill and Issues Affecting Iowa; Playing the Rush When it Comes to Adding Value to Feeder Calves; Taking the Odds: Being Proactive About Local Water Quality and Your Operation; Determining Your Ante When It Comes to Rebuilding the Cow Herd.

Also on Dec. 13, the Beef Product, Business Issues And Cattle Production Policy

Committee will meet to discuss new proposed resolutions as well as review expiring policies in each of the areas.

Other activities Dec. 13 include a trade show, awards luncheon, trade show reception and dinner following by the Iowa Cattlemen’s Foundation annual fundraising auction.

Registration price includes four meals, the trade show and all educational sessions.

talk to a spokesperson from the Humane Society for answers to these questions. ....Item 7 was for the Logan Park Board to discuss possible park projects. They have plans to build an open shelter to put picnic tables under and replace some of the damaged flag poles.

Agenda item 10 was moved up by the council. Steve Johnson of Doc’s Roadhouse was to discuss leasing the alley directly behind his business from the city. The council wants Mr. Johnson to apply for a building permit with a full description of the structure he wants to put up in the alley. He will submit this application to the city clerk in the next few days.

Agenda item 9 was for the council to review the health insurance renewal. The renewal increase is 14.65% for health and 4% for dental. The vision premium stayed the same. It appears this is primarily a base rate increase and not due to high claims as there was a 2% credit for claims.

Motion was made by councilman Johnson and seconded by Clark to renew the existing policy for another year with United Health Care of the River Valley. 5 ayes.

Citizens questions and comments: none Chamber update: Hartwig gave a report on Shiverfest, which was held last Friday. He stated that they need some new ideas to bring more people to this celebration next year.
