Tuesday while Todd Dunphy hauls the trailer at right. With soybeans still having a moisture content too high for harvesting, the cousins switched to cornfields in an attempt to make up for lost time in a rainy harvest season to date. According to the weekly crop report from the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service, Iowa farmers had 33 percent of corn and 62 percent of soybeans harvested through last week, which is behind the five-year average. The USDA report said 97 percent of the corn crop was mature or beyond, three days behind last year, while 96 percent of soybeans were dropping leaves or beyond, equal to the five-year average. Favorable harvest weather conditions are expected for the duration of this week, with high temperatures climbing back into the 70s and sunshine by the weekend.

SCHOOL BOARD

McDermott hopes to host band contest in the future

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

Creston Community School District Superintendent Steve McDermott hopes to work toward hosting a marching-band competition someday, he told the school board during Monday’s meeting.

Marching Band Director Mike Peters had reported earlier in the meeting numbers are increasing in the music program.

“I got a chance to go up to

Valleyfest a couple of weeks ago to watch the band,” McDermott said. “If you haven’t been up there, you need to sometime.

It’s neat.

It’s just awesome entertainment. It’s McDermott the best of the best, for sure. I’d sure like to have one of those contests here someday.”

But, there are several hur-

dles the school district must clear before it can host such an event.

“What other sort of organization and facilities do we need in order to have an event such as a Valleyfest?”

Board President Brad James asked.

Perhaps the biggest facility upgrade necessary is a change to artificial turf on the football field.

“Other than that, I think we just need to make sure our concession areas are upgraded like we talked,” McDermott said. “The visi-

The general election is looming ever closer, and there is one contested race in Union County.

Incumbents Dennis Brown and Lois Monday and former Union County Supervisor Robert G. Brown are vying for two open positions on the board.

Other facility upgrades McDermott mentioned include new bleachers on the visitors’ side of the field, as well as potentially adding another set of bleachers on the home side of the field.

Dennis Brown, 60, is a 1974 graduate of Sanborn High School in Sanborn.

In 1977, he earned an Associate D. Brown of Arts degree from Southwestern Community College.

For the past 42 years, he has been an employee of Charlie Brown Used Auto and Trucking. He currently lives in rural Shannon City.

“I really enjoy being a supervisor. It’s a variety of things all the time. We have to work with really, really good people at the county level,” Dennis said. “It’s nice to work with a good

Books for preschoolers:

The Republican incumbent said one of the things he’s most proud of doing as a supervisor is building confidence in the board from the county citizens.

“I’d like to think that people in Union County have more confidence in their supervisors than they did six years ago,” Dennis said.

“That’s the big thing. And, we really try hard to be open and transparent, that’s the new buzz word, with many things.”

Dennis was elected to the Union County Board of Supervisors in 2010, alongside Lois Monday, and took his position in 2011. Since then, he has also played a part in his church, Trinity Lutheran Church, and sat on the boards of Prairie Solid Waste, the Law Enforcement Center committee, Crossroads Mental Health and Regional Workforce Investment, to name a few.

Dennis said he is also concerned for the roads in the county, as they have not been kept up like they should have.

“We got to work on those roads. We just got to make them better. We haven’t done the job that we should ELECTION | 2A

and it’s a constantly moving target,” Dennis said. “We just got to get a better grasp of it and do a better job. That includes all of us, and that includes me.”

Robert (Bob) G. Brown Robert G. Brown, 65, lives in rural Thayer.

He graduated in 1969 from East Union H i g h School in Afton and then B. Brown earned a degree in physical education with a minor in biology in 1973 from Simpson College in Indianola. He also played football for Simpson for four years.

After working for a landfill covering Decatur, Ringgold and Wayne counties for seven years while farming, Bob became a Union County supervisor in 1985 while maintaining his farm. He was on the board until 2011. Today, he farms with his family.

While on the board, Bob, a Democrat, also held spots with RC and D, Heartland and Empowerment boards, positions he still holds. He is also the chairman of the East Union Alumni Association, and while a supervisor held a position on the Three Mile Lake board.

“The number one important thing for me is Three Mile Lake. That was my baby. ...

They set up a meeting and made me chairman and nine years later we had a lake full of water,” Bob said. “Since then, we’ve expanded and it’s an absolutely beautiful lake.”

Bob has also pushed for an improved infrastructure and partnerships with other organizations to share the cost of various projects. He instigated grading agreements between the county and farmers to promote clean roadways and prevent snow traps.

“I have a lot of friends that I made from the federal and state levels, here at the county level and stuff,” Bob said.

“I was able to contact them at the state level to help us to get through certain situations and stuff. That’s the kind of experience I want to bring back to the boardroom. That, and common courtesy and respect.”

Bob has recently helped with discovering Mount Pisgah east of Creston by relocating buildings and discovering cemeteries, to name just a few things. This led to the initiation of the Iowa Mormon Trails Association.

“I know how to listen, but I also see the big picture,” Bob said. “That’s where I bring the common sense and that stuff in.”

1965, she opened her income tax service and in 1989 opened her real estate business, all located at 609 W. Adams St. In 2000, Monday, a Republican, began her four-year stint as Creston City Council member, and in 2010 she was elected to Union County Board of Supervisors. She took her position in 2011 alongside Dennis. As a supervisor, she is also on the boards of Southern Iowa Trolley and Board of Aging, and she works closely with Department of Human Services for a possible future project.

“I want to make very sure we get totally out of debt, and got a debt load we cut down immensely,” Monday said.

“We all work well together and we’ve made great strides together.”

Monday made a point of saying she is proud of lowering the county debt from about $12 million to about $6 million. While lowering the county debt, Monday and her fellow supervisors have put the police department and sheriff’s office equipment and secondary roads equipment on rotation to keep it updated.

She and the supervisors have also improved the infrastructure throughout the county. They approved the upgrade of High and Dry and Cromwell roads, as well as the finished product of Osage Street.

“I hope that we can get our roads, especially farm-to-market roads, better,” Monday said. “This has been a tough year. It just seems with the road conditions the way they are we’ve just done the best we can with what we’ve got to work with.”

Currently they are promoting the expansion of the Department of Human Services building, as well as the upgrade of the Union County Courthouse building and landscape by fixing the roof, painting, installing security doors and funding a salute to local veterans through an eagle carved from a tree stump.

“This doesn’t happen overnight. You got to take it a step at a time,” Monday said. “We work well together. We don’t always get along, but we’re respectful of each other and all the departments are respectful of each other.”

Today is Oct. 20, the 294th day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 72 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Oct. 17-23) in history:

10 years ago Management of Park Land Development from Omaha, Nebraska, and Creston Mayor Mike Tamerius broke ground for the new assisted-living facility on West Prairie Street. The 32unit facility was scheduled to be completed east of Crest Ridge and south of Greater Regional Medical Center in spring 2007.

Cayden Shiltz, 11, and Jacob Rutledge, 15, were selected to perform in Iowa Dance Theatre’s production of “Dracula, a Comedy Noir” in Toman Dance Theater at Iowa State University in Ames. Shiltz is the son of John and Dorie Shiltz, and Rutledge is the son of Erikka Barker. Both were students at Leslie’s Dance Emporium.

20 years ago Lenox had plans to host its first marching band contest and director Jay Williams hoped the event would be the first of many. He felt smaller schools were intimidated by the larger schools in other contests, so invitations were sent to every Class A, 1A and 2A school in Iowa with seven bands responding. They were Villisca, East Union, Corning, Audubon,

condition.

“This is certainly doable,” McDermott said. “It’s an undertaking, but my goodness, we’ve got the program going. ... The time to strike is when the iron is hot, because things are working well and it’s popular. I’d like to keep working that way if we could.”

Booming program Participation in the marching-band program and music program as a whole, is up right now compared to previous years.

“There’s an enthusiasm right now not just from my area but from all areas,” Peters said. “I’ve got young people coming in and they’re enthusiastic coming in. The community has been great about being enthusiastic about our program. We’re having success and kids are going to want to be on board.

It makes it a lot easier to promote your product when you’re having success.”

That success is one of the reasons McDermott hopes to one day host a marching band contest in Creston.

“My first thought is our program has been so successful for years that I think our community and our students deserve to have a contest of this size,” he said.

On Oct. 19, 2006, area firefighters set up a triage on the southeast side of Bunn-OMatic after responding to a four-alarm fire. Six area departments responded to the blaze because of the building’s value to the community, said Creston Fire Chief Todd Jackson. The whole building was affected by smoke damage, but fire damage only affected a 40-by-20-foot section of the building from floor to ceiling.

Apple Computer Inc. finally regained some of its shine, stunning analysts who expected another quarterly loss. Instead Apple turned in a $25 million profit. Apple pioneered the easy-to-use commercial personal computer when it introduced the Macintosh in the 1980s, but had stumbled badly since rival PCs eroded its market.

Salem Lutheran Church was celebrating its 125th anniversary after it began with 14 families at the home of John Sandahl in Aug.13, 1871, in Creston. A total of 27 ordained pastors had served the church in its history with the Rev. Ralph Kister as the current pastor.

An ad for United States Cellular, a cell phone company, featured a SafetyPlus plan for just $9.95 a month and included 10 minutes a

month.

Lincoln No. 5 Rural School, the last rural school to operate in Union County, was moved to McKinley Park where it was to be preserved as a historical exhibit. The school was pulled on a lowboy trailer behind a pickup as it was moved to the park. People interested in preserving the historical heritage of the community hoped to make the school a part of a historical exhibit and museum.

The annual convention of Iowa High School Press Association was attended by eight members of the Creston High School journalism class and Arrow staff. Don Herbert, Dawn Buxton, Denise Huey, Pam Schrodt, Debbie Priebe, Mary Richards, Charol Smith and DiAnne Fisher were chosen to interview Jack Miller, Republican incumbent for U.S. Senate, and E.B. Smith, Democratic

candidate for U.S. Senate, as part of the conference.

The use of voting machines in large precincts in Union County were discussed by the board of supervisors at their meeting along with Creston City Council members. A representative of a company that makes the machines was at the meeting to show how it would speed the counting of votes after polls closed on election days and would reduce the cost of conducting elections. The board was told that even when a light vote was cast, the last returns were not reported to the county auditor until 2 a.m. and in larger elections, it was often 6 or 7 a.m. on the day following the election.

The film of the Creston and Clarinda football game from the previous week was to be shown at the Elks Club and all members of the Pipin’ Poppas were invited to attend. Coach Dave Koos was to narrate.

band earned its 28th-consecutive Division I rating Saturday at the Iowa High School Music Association state marching contest at Treynor High School.

On Oct. 1, the Panther marching band placed second in 3A for both parade and field competition and third place in the overall scores out of 22 bands, regardless of school size, at the 61st-annual Southwest Iowa Band Jamboree in Clarinda. Creston was the top Iowa band at the contest.

“I’ve had a lot of good marching programs in the past,” Peters said. “This year, I had judges calling me after performances saying, ‘I really enjoyed your show.’

I’ve never had people going out of their way saying how much they enjoyed my show.”

I’ve attended in the past at Valleyfest and other places, they’ve been terrific events.

My question is, ‘Why not here in Creston?’”

Peters said holding a contest in Creston would be a benefit not only to his program but to other programs in the area.

“It kind of puts a stamp of legitimacy on this whole process,” Peters said. “To host one here, it feels like I’m helping my colleagues. We’d like to have something more educational, where directors can bring their bands, perform, get judged and right after you perform, one of the judges can

give you a clinic. There’s a lot of educational value to this. I truly believe that.”

McDermott said making facility improvements to host a band contest could open the door to holding even larger events, as well.

“If we were in a position someday to go ahead and host such a contest or large clinic, who knows, we may be able to begin to host state competitions and that sort of thing,” he said. “There are other places that, due to the facilities, get to host state band contests and events we’d sure like to have here in town.”

Potential contest While Creston is still far from hosting a marching-band contest, the discussion about potential facility upgrades opened up the possibility.

“I think it would just be a great event for Creston to host and would also provide some good economic development here in the community to bring, not the size of crowd RAGBRAI brought to town, but something similar in terms of visitors for a whole weekend,” McDermott said. “Those contests

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, October 20, 2016

Make your community better I’ve spent the past two weeks thinking about what I wrote in my last column. In that column, I discussed the lack of drive in those volunteering for organizations such as fire departments. Since then, I received a single comment, and I want to thank that person from the bottom of my heart.

The Monday after the publication of my column, I received a letter from a volunteer firefighter.

This firefighter shall remain nameless, as he did not wish his letter to be publicized. However, I wanted to thank him for the letter and

Girl on fire Bailey Poolman staff writer

wasn’t sure how else to do that.

So, thank you. It meant so much to me knowing I wasn’t the only one who has witnessed the decline of volunteering, especially in such a beautiful area as southwest Iowa. It truly was inspiring to read that letter and know, even though

I may or may not know this man very well, he is still looking out for his comrades. That right there is what I appreciated the most: despite everything, someone out there is looking out for others.

I may not be the most active in my department, or at work or in class. I may complain at times because there are those who volunteer less than I do, or put in less time than me. But, in the end, I am trying to be a better person.

Knowing there are those out there who can be better even when they have large families and no time

makes me want to be better too.

I know it isn’t much to some, but sometimes, it’s that small thing that makes the biggest difference. Your organization is like your family: you go through the best and the worst times with your family. Firefighting is no different.

Firefighters see people at their worst and try to do their best in that situation. There aren’t many people who can say they’re part of such a distinguished family, especially one that gives so much of themselves. I love being able to say I’m part of that family, and I

hope I can make that family the best it can be.

It’s not much, but hopefully something like this can be paid forward. Say thank you for something that may seem insignificant, be appreciative of your coworkers or take a moment to breathe that southern Iowa air.

Respect your environment and the people you share it with. Then, use that respect to better your surroundings. Be an active member in your organization; make your community better in that way.

The rigged election HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Donald Trump sparred with President Obama Tuesday over Donald’s claim that this election could be rigged by the Democrats. The voter verification is pretty tight. This will be the first election day in my life where you have to do two things at the polling station, hold your nose and vote.

Melania Trump gave an interview to Fox and Friends Monday and discussed Donald’s locker-room talk with Billy Bush that was caught on tape 11 years ago and released last week. Melania said she blamed Bush for Trump’s behavior. It proves that sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

The FBI said Hillary Clinton nabbed furniture and lamps from her Secretary of State office to decorate her D.C. home. She also did it when she left the White House. This explains why Las Vegas convention center workers were seen yesterday afternoon nailing the lectern to the debate stage.

The Hillary Clinton campaign decided Tuesday to pour $2 million into TV commercial buys in Arizona, plus $1 million in ad buys in Missouri and $1 million in Indiana. Conversely, last weekend Donald Trump pulled out of Virginia. She was the housemaid on The Jeffersons.

The American Bar Association said Friday there are 15,000 fewer lawyers in the U.S. than there where when the great recession started.

They didn’t disappear. Yesterday at the drive-through window at McDonald’s, the cashier spilled hot coffee on my lap then offered to represent me.

The Chicago Tribune reported that the Chicago City Council passed a resolution establishing Chicago as

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

a sanctuary city for Syrian war refugees. Whatever happened to compassion in this country? Chicago isn’t a sanctuary city for Syrian war refugees, it’s a continuing education seminar.

President Obama greeted the president of Italy Monday amid fears that terrorists are targeting him for blocking immigration to Italy. He was guarded by the Secret Service, the D.C. police, Italian security and a U.S. military escort to the White House. It’s the most protection a Catholic has ever used.

Italy’s president Sergio Mattarella toasted the U.S. as the land of opportunity at the White House state dinner Tuesday. Don’t the Italians know it. When Lucky Luciano arrived in America at age 5, he had one nickel in his pocket, and by the time he was deported, he was worth $40 million.

Volkswagen neared a $15 billion settlement with VW owners Tuesday after VW rigged the cars with software that cheated emissions standards. How bad does it look? Volkswagen calls it the most embarrassing incident in company history, and this is a company that was founded

by Hitler.

NASA reported that photos from the Hubble Space Telescope have revealed that the Universe is composed of 2 trillion galaxies.

That’s 100 times the number previously thought. If just one of these galaxies was made by Samsung, it proves the Big Bang Theory once and for all.

Support for Hillary Tom Vilsack

United States Secretary of Agriculture

In the United States today, 46 million Americans call our rural communities home. In just a few short weeks, you will cast your ballots for President, choosing a candidate who will not only represent your interests, but understands the challenges you face. Throughout this long election, the candidate who has consistently shown herself best equipped to advocate for our rural communities is Hillary Clinton.

Hillary has spent her career fighting for rural areas, dating back to her work in Arkansas more than 30 years ago to improve public schools across the state. She fought hard to raise standards, get schools more resources and give teachers the raises they deserved – and she hasn’t stopped fighting for children and families since.

More than a year ago, I was proud to stand beside her at a community college in Des Moines where she laid out her vision for rural America. This plan was grounded in a life’s work fighting for working families and the most vulnerable among us.

Over the past few years, Hillary has listened to the needs and dreams of thousands of rural Americans, and then she did what she does best – she built a thoughtful, comprehensive strategy that invests in an economy that works for everyone – not just those at the top.

These policies reflect Hillary’s understanding of the hard work our rural communities do for the good

of our country – providing our food, the fiber for our clothes, the energy for our homes and businesses and nearly 40 percent of our military members. As President, Hillary will support our farmers and ranchers, encouraging the next generation by offering training and credit, strengthening the safety net to help them through unanticipated challenges, bolstering our regional food systems and fostering a renewable energy future for the United States that utilizes wind, solar and biofuels.

Hillary also understands the sacrifices our rural communities make, bearing disproportionately the great cost of keeping our country safe. Of the 22 million veterans living across the country, nearly 25 percent call rural America home. Hillary believes they have earned care that is high quality, timely and accessible, regardless of where they live. As President, she will increase funding and expand programs that provide effective mental health treatment for veterans. She will invest in telemedicine, expanding the reach of care to all veterans, no matter how remote their community. And her plan to invest $275 billion in infrastructure will include a commitment to broadband, which will strengthen employment, education and healthcare for our vets and their families.

Above all else, she knows our men and women returning from service deserve the best quality of care, and she will work to ensure the VA’s mission remains centered on connecting them to the care and benefits they need.

In her travels across the country,

in hundreds of intimate conversations with families and parents, Hillary has also gained a keen understanding of the epidemic of drug and alcohol addiction facing 23 million Americans who struggle each day. I grew up with a mother who battled addiction, and I understand firsthand the toll this disease has taken on families. Hillary was the first and only candidate running for president to bring addiction out of the shadows and propose a serious, substantial plan to combat it, designing a $10 billion initiative to expand access to prevention, treatment and recovery. It will ensure our first responders have access to naloxone – a rescue drug that can prevent opioid overdoses from becoming fatal. And her plan ensures medical professionals prescribing controlled medications have the proper training to identify patients at risk of addiction.

On the issues that we all care about – the safety and security of our nation, our health, our jobs and the future of our children – Hillary has proposed solution after solution to improve the lives of every American. Throughout this campaign, she has remained steady and focused and honorable.

Over our decades-long friendship, I have found one of Hillary’s defining characteristics to be loyalty. And make no mistake – she is loyal to rural America because she knows rural communities make America strong and exceptional.

That is why I encourage you to join me in voting for Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8.

Real Estate Report RENTAL SCAM A woman was enticed by on-line advertising for a great house in Creston for $850 a month. The interior photos looked wonderful.

She called her dad to drive by and found it was on the market to sell.

He called the owners whom he thought still lived there to see if they were moving and renting the house out. They weren’t. If she had been someone without ties in Creston, she might have sent the $850 deposit and $850 first month’s rent. Then, when she arrived ready to move in, the owners would have been very surprised and she would have been out $1700. This scam happens in other cities. Share on your Facebook to stop these thieves.

Let “R” Realty be your realty!

5 ways to prepare your outdoor living space for fall (BPT) – While everyone eagerly waits for spring each year and wishes summer could last a month or two longer, when it comes down to it, fall just might be America’s favorite season.

It’s warm but not hot, the air has that clean crispness that’s hard to describe and perhaps the biggest draw, pumpkin-flavored everything. And let’s not forget about all those bright, beautiful leaf colors that come with the change in weather.

So why start shutting down your outdoor living space with the first sign of fall?

Packing it in early is something dynamic design duo, Colin and Justin, would never consider. The home improvement stars of “Cabin Pressure” and “Game of Homes” make the most of their beautiful Western Red Cedar deck all year around.

“Oh my gosh every single day, we’re on the deck -

whether it’s summer, spring, fall, winter or whatever,” says Justin. “A deck isn’t just for three months of the year; a deck is what you want it to be. And if you love the great outdoors as much as we do, you can make it work.”

Here, then, are Colin and Justin’s top five design solutions to help extend your outdoor living well into the autumn months:

easy to work with, Real Cedar can’t be beat.

“We recommend getting your big ticket items first, around which you can seasonally adjust and tailor your look with different smaller and more affordable purchases,” says Colin. “And with decks, it’s worth investing in a really good product to start with like Western Red Cedar, which will last and last and last.

“They’ve got a lovely weighty bottom to them,” says Justin. “The wind passes right through them and that’s a good tip for anyone using freestanding screens on the outside. If they’re too solid, the wind can catch them. But if they’re fretwork or open panels or cutout work, they’re good.”

Heat things up

Paradoxically, as the days grow shorter, you’ll wish they would last longer.

There’s no more perfect way to cap off a perfect fall day than by sitting around a fire with friends and family.

“In the autumn, we have two propane operated fire bowls that sit smack dab in the center of our Western Red Cedar deck,” says Colin. Their gas-powered fire is safely contained in a stone bowl and leaves no ashes or embers. “And those fire bowls help us stretch out our

Pack and move like a pro with these 6 tips several to walk through your home, opening every cabinet and drawer, to get rid of what you don’t need or use.

There’s no sense in paying to move items you don’t want in your new home.

Clear the clutter

(BPT) – Does the prospect of moving have you buzzing with excitement?

Or are you left with worries about packing and clutter?

This moving season, an estimated 40 million Americans will move or relocate, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Moving is an exciting time, creating opportunities to

start fresh and reinvent your life. But whether you’re moving by yourself or uprooting your entire family, moving presents a number of stress-causing challenges.

Staying organized and planning ahead will be your best armor against the moving blues. Ease your transition with some of these professional organization tips:

Make a plan

Did you know that 91 percent of Americans say they have kept an item because they feel guilty getting rid of it? That’s a lot of leftover gifts, family heirlooms, greeting cards and rarely worn clothing just lying around.

And when you have a home filled with disorganized clutter, you can spend hours searching for misplaced items. A move is a great opportunity to go through that stuff and make the tough decisions about what to keep and what to toss.

If you’re downsizing or staying at a smaller place mid-move, you might need a temporary storage solution to keep some of your belongings. You can easily find and compare prices on storage units, as well as full-service storage services, at SpareFoot.com.

tape and scissors, you’ll want to make sure you have all the tools you need. Set up a “moving station” somewhere in your current home where you store all your moving necessities. Be sure to select the right boxes for moving your different types of belongings. For example, you can find kitchen packing boxes that have double-wall construction which is better suited for breakables, like dishes, china, crystal and glassware.

color code from across the room or from inside a moving truck. Label all sides of your boxes so you can easily see where a box belongs even when they’re all jumbled together. If you’re hiring professional movers, this will help them know where each box should end up on moving day. Unpacking will be a breeze.

Create a moving binder

Leading up to your move, make sure to hydrate, rest and eat well. Take care of yourself so that you’ll be completely ready to take on the tasks at hand. Don’t forget to pack a survival box with the essentials you need for the first night in your new home. Toilet paper, sheets, towels, soap and a coffee pot are just a few of the items that you want to be sure you can easily access.

Instead of worrying about the endless moving logistics and details, focus on the exciting adventure ahead of you. Follow these tips to simplify your move for an easy, stress-free process. For more moving tips and advice, visit SpareFoot.com/moving.

A three-ring binder is an organization staple for any area of your life. Store and file moving company brochures or business cards, important paperwork like leases or closing documents and use a pouch for holding pens and sticky notes. If you’re someone who likes to store everything digitally, use an organization app so you don’t forget any important information, photos, websites or notes about your move.

Your calendar will be your best friend throughout the moving process. As soon as you know your moving date, schedule moving help and/or a truck rental.

Mirror, mirror, not so fair Dear Heloise: What do you recommend for a homemade cleaning solution for WINDOWS AND MIRRORS? I had a recipe for a mixture at one time, but I can’t find it.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. – Sherry M., via email Sherry, I’m happy to help. For a great homemade window-cleaning solution, mix 1/4 cup ammonia into a gallon of water. Label the mixture clearly. Wear gloves and work in a ventilated area.

Would you like more of my money- saving and timesaving Heloise Homemade Cleaning Solutions? Order my pamphlet, comprised of over 30 years of helpful homemaking hints. Send a long, stamped (68 cents), self-addressed envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/ HCS, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Surprisingly, newspaper is much better to use to spread the cleaner on glass than paper towels: fewer streaks and less lint. – Heloise HINT FROM HIM Dear Heloise: When I have small frozen items to take home from the supermarket, but I have other errands to run before I get home, a padded bubble mailer is perfect to hold the cold pieces. It takes up less space

Hints from Heloise than a cooler, and keeps things cold! – Mr. B. in Central Texas BIRD DETERRENT Dear Heloise: We have a big window in our house that’s close to pine trees, where we have bird feeders.

The question is, What can we do to the window so that the birds don’t fly against it?

This is happening too often.

– Ella H., Penn Yan, N.Y. Ella, a big problem may be the feeder. Are you able to move it away from the window periodically?

Change the routine of your “regular customers,” and they will have to slow down to find the feeder, and may be less likely to crash into the window.

Also, think about this: Glass is invisible to birds. All they see is the reflection of trees, the grass, themselves (as another small, friendly bird), the sky, etc. Eliminating the reflection should be your goal. Here are some hints and items to use: * Food wrap over the window will blur the glass.

– Heloise SHEET CHEAT

Dear Heloise: The amount of dust and pet hair that can accumulate under my king-size bed is outrageous! It’s hard to bend over, reach under and dust or vacuum there.

Here’s what I came up with: I place a sheet under the bed. The dust and debris fall on the sheet, and then I just toss it in the washer each time I launder my bedding. – M.S. in Pennsylvania COLOR ME HAPPY Dear Heloise: I colored this card I sent you! At 74 years of age, my handwriting has improved since taking BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker up coloring. Also, it is very mind-relaxing. Try it! – Carol in Star Tannery, Va. Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com.

Horoscope For Friday, Oct. 21, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)Do everything you can to avoid family arguments today, because they will be aggressive and nasty. Forewarned is forearmed.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)People are argumentative today. However, it mostly will be a battle of egos. You don’t need to get involved in this.

Save your breath and your peace of mind.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Disputes about money or possessions might arise today.

This is a poor day to engage in these discussions, because there will be a lot of conflict and nothing will be resolved.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Avoid bullies today. This is the kind of day where someone wants to throw his or her weight around. Be particularly patient with partners and close friends.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Someone behind the scenes might be working against your best interests today. If you think something fishy is going on - it is! Watch your step.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might have an argument with a friend today, especially a female friend. Or you might have a disagreement with anyone. Try to postpone these discussions for another day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Quarrels with authority figures - bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police - will not be pleasant today. Knowing this ahead of time, you can skirt this. Give your boss a wide berth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because they quickly will turn nasty.

You don’t need this. Take the high road and ignore these conversations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Don’t be tempted to debate about shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt today. This is a poor day for arguments because people just want to fight. Yikes!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. The minute trouble starts, be ready to compromise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Relations with co-workers will be testy today. Don’t

make an issue about anything.

Sometimes you have to lose a battle to win the war.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Parents must be patient with kids today. Hissy fits and meltdowns are par for the course. Everyone has frayed tempers today. Easy does it.

Demonstrate grace under pressure.

YOU BORN TODAY You are outgoing and friendly. You also are an excellent communicator. People are impressed with your charming personality. Initially, this

year begins quietly, which is why you might not see major changes until next year; however, it will be a year of growth, construction and building. Do what you can to reduce your debt and strengthen your financial position, because you are building for your future!

It’s probably the hardest lesson a success-oriented individual can ever learn.

Most of us aren’t nearly as important as we think we are – and sometimes as others tell us we are. One of the wonderful things about Christ’s religion is that it puts everyone on the same rung of the ladder – Christ is the great equalizer.

There’s a story of a newly elected politician who went to our nation’s capital to get acquainted with the place. At the home of a high-ranking senator, he was trying to get the feel of this great city and all he anticipated he would be able to accomplish. He greatly admired the prominence of his host and spoke of his grandiose intentions and plans. Somewhere, back in his mind, he even entertained the possibility of actually running things in the country from the White House.

As they looked out over the Potomac River, they noticed a log floating downstream. It was rotten, old, deteriorating, obviously of no worth.

The older senator said to his young friend, “You know, that log is about a perfect example of what this city is and what our nation is becoming.” for Life meeting with 7 p.m. program - Hall.

“How’s that?” asked his young friend.

“Well you see, there are probably hundreds of grub worms, no telling how many ants, bugs and critters of about every kind you can name, and they’re just floating down the stream on that rotten old log,” the older senator said.

“Well, how’s that like this city?” the young man said aloud.

“It’s simple,” said the senior senator, “Every one of those critters thinks he’s steering the log.”

With no intent to bemean the government, how true it is in almost every area of life that ambition often outruns reality. It is the meek who inherit the earth, not the mighty. It is the poor in spirit who enjoy the rule of God – not the arrogant and haughty.

Paul summed all this up quite nicely: “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”

Season ends for Creston volleyball Panthers finish at 8-17

n

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — Creston’s volleyball team started gaining confidence early in Wednesday’s Class 3A Region 2 first round match at Red Oak. The Panthers kept right with the Tigers before falling 25-20.

Red Oak woke up in the second and third sets. The Tigers dominated both of them in rolling to a 3-0 sweep of the Panthers 25-20, 25-9 and 25-14.

The Tigers (29-9) advance to face Clarinda (20-11) on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Red Oak. The Cardinals swept Shenandoah 3-0, by scores of 25-17, 25-9, 25-20.

Creston’s season ends at 8-17.

The Panthers hung with the Tigers in the first set, as Red Oak led 10-8. Red Oak pushed the advantage

to 19-13, but Creston clawed back within 20-18.

The Tigers scored five of the final seven Luther points to take the set.

Even then, Creston coach Polly Luther liked what she saw.

“Our first game was pretty good,” Luther said. “We came out with a little bit of fire.”

The Panthers’ confidence grew.

“Absolutely it was very important mentally and physically,” Luther said. “If you don’t play with them, you’re going to beat down mentally. To see what we could do, that was very important.”

Creston’s serve receive and passing were crisp in the first set, allowing them to stay with Red Oak. “Give credit to Creston. They came out ready to play,” said Red Oak coach Angela Montgomery.

“Their serve receive was much better. They passed the ball very well. They were on their game.”

What Creston did well in the first set did not carry over in sets two and three.

“There’s just certain things you need to do and we didn’t do them,” Luther said.

Red Oak’s offense heated up. Often, the Tigers offense was going up against a single block or no block. The Tiger hitters took advantage of

Pnathers, Tigers set for district title showdown

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@ crestonnews.com

A matchup five years in the making comes Friday to Carroll.

The Creston/Orient-Macksburg Panthers bring their unblemished record to do battle with the undefeated Carroll Tigers at 7:30 p.m at Carroll Stadium.

The game is what two teams like these work toward throughout the year.

“It’ll be a big time atmosphere.

Our kids will be excited.

That’s why you play the game, is to play in games like Morrison this,” Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison said.

The last time the Panthers played Carroll was in week seven of 2011 when both were in the same district.

Both teams were undefeated in district play at the time before Creston/O-M won 23-14.

Now both are ranked among the top five overall in Class 3A, and both are guaranteed playoff spots.

Home field advantage through at least the first round of the playoffs is up for grabs. Jeff Linder of the Cedar Rapids Gazette projects the Panthers, with a win over Carroll, to be hosting Sergeant Bluff-Luton.

Tale of the tape Carroll comes into Friday’s gridiron war having swept through Class 3A District 7 play with relative ease. A 19-point week six comeback against Harlan was the most the Tigers have been tested in district play. A 23-20 matchup with Bishop Heelan is another that the Panthers wish to

CRESTON | 12A

emulate the success of an opposing defense.

Carroll is averaging 36.4 points per game while yielding just 15.9 per game. The Panthers come in putting up 45.1 points per contest and is giving up 13.4 per game.

The Panthers have forced a district-best 25 turnovers, those coming on 13 interceptions and 12 fumble recoveries, the best and tied for the second best marks in the district respectively. Carroll meanwhile, has forced 16 turnovers, tied for second in the district.

Both Carroll and Creston/O-M are acknowledged as having notable playmakers on both sides of the football. This game figures to feature the most game-changing type players matched up on both sides that Creston/O-M has played this season.

Talented offensive skill players With four players having racked up at least 250 receiving yards, two players rushing for 500-plus rushing yards and eight-plus touchdowns, and an offense that has gone for around 1,500 yards rushing and passing, the Tiger offense has overwhelmed teams with the sheer amount of offensive players that teams have to pay attention to.

Tigers quarterback Kolby Molinsky has passed for 1,454 yards, 13 touchdowns and three interceptions while averaging 16.3 yards per completion.

The combo of Zach Promes, Dayton Ross, Kyle Emery and Dylan Millermon all have grabbed at least two touchdown receptions. Ross, the team’s leader with five touchdown receptions, averages eight yards per carry, has eight rushing touchdowns, and has sprinted his way to 725 yards on the ground.

Ross and Ethan Rummel come in as two of the top five scoring players in the district with 78 and 66 points respectively. Chase Shiltz is the leader in that respect with 158 points scored, which is 44 points better

than Harlan’s Nick Foss.

“We have to be disciplined no doubt about it.

They can hurt you in a lot of different ways,” Morrison said. “I still believe they want too run the football first, throw second and put you in situations... based on down and distance, they will throw the football. They’re a team that can strike at a lot of different positions and a lot of different levels.”

“We have to make sure we understand our checks and we play fast.”

Lenox looks to bounce back in week nine

By RYAN KRONBERG

CNA sports editor rkronberg@ crestonnews.com

LENOX — Lenox enters week nine at a crossroads.

The Tigers are coming off a hard-fought loss to rival Bedford in the Back 40 Battle for the Haybale Trophy.

The Tigers (5-3, 4-2) also lost do-it-all star Dawson Tullberg to a broken leg.

Coach Matt Malausky and his staff are working to build the confidence of their team heading into this week’s game at Lamoni.

“The challenge is to refocus, which is hard to do when you’re coming off of a loss, especially a loss to a rival team and be more

than likely mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.”

For the returnees, there is Malausky much at stake not only for Friday but going into next season.

“It’s very important in the terms of building momentum for next season and getting the guys to work towards next year by getting in the weight room and going out for as many different sports as they can, especially track,” Malausky said.

Carter Still will step in at quarterback, while Edwin

Moreno will fill in at placekicker and Derek Venteicher as the punter.

Malausky said the differences with Still as the signal caller will be minimal.

“It really won’t change what we do, just who is doing it or leading it. That is the only difference,” Malausky said.

Lamoni (3-5, 1-5) is coming off a 44-14 loss at East Union.

“Lamoni is a pretty young team that has talent,” Malausky said. “Their running backs are tough individuals, they have some physical linemen, and a big play threat in their tight end.

We’re looking at getting back on the right track.”

Eagles look to secure trip to the postseason East Union’s coaches have been preparing the team for each week like it is a playoff game.

That adage is even more true for the Eagles this week.

With a win, East Union secures a second consecutive trip to the playoffs.

To earn the berth, the Eagles will have to go on the road and win at Wayne in Eight-player District 6 play.

“We have told the kids that every week is a playoff AREA | 0A

reason to worry.

game and that has helped them to prepare for what is at stake especially to this point in the season,” said East Union co-coach James Hardy.

With a win, the Eagles are in the playoffs no matter what happens between Bedford and Stanton. If Bedford wins, East Union is the district champion and will host a playoff game a week from Fri- Hardy day. With a Stanton win and an East Union win, the Eagles would be on the road in the playoffs.

If East Union were to lose to Wayne, it would need Bedford to defeat Stanton.

Then the Eagles would be on the road in the opening round of the playoffs.

East Union is looking forward to the task at hand, knowing what is at stake.

“They are focused on what they have to do and excited about the opportunities,” Hardy said.

Taking care of the little details has been key in practice this week.

“We continue to stress the fundamentals of the game in solid practices throughout the week and talk to the kids about what focus is needed in the Friday night ahead,” Hardy said.

East Union’s had some slow starts this season and fast in others.

Last week was a fast start as they jumped out to a 44-0 lead.

Hardy is confident his team will be ready for either scenario.

“It would be nice to have a fast start, but we have played in various situations

He leads a group that has 19 sacks.

“I would say that the team that compared the most throughout the season has been Glenwood. I think they’re comparable up front with Glenwood and Glenwood’s pretty dang good.

Glenwood eliminated a lot of stuff that we wanted to do offensively,” Morrison said.

Of the 16 turnovers the Tigers have caused as a team this season. three individuals on the defense have intercepted two passes, and Landon Hinman has shown a knack for the ball with four fumble recoveries.

While the Panthers will

Plenty at stake for Southwest Valley Southwest Valley still has much to play for heading into week nine.

At 5-3 overall and 4-2 in Class A District 7, the Timberwolves are in the mix for a wild card position at the playoffs.

In order to put themselves in that spot, the Timberwolves will need to pull out a win at winless Riverside.

“There’s a lot going into Riverside,” said Southwest Valley coach Anthony Donahoo. Donahoo “We’ve given ourselves a chance at postseason play.”

The Timberwolves are in the midst of a remarkable turnaround. Last season at this time, they were on their way to completing a 1-8 season.

Now they’re poised to not only finish above .500, but could be playing past week nine.

“I can’t say enough of how proud I am of our guys,” Donahoo said.

While Riverside comes in winless, Southwest Valley is taking nothing for granted.

“We need to prepare the right way,” Donahoo said.

“We need to prepare like Riverside is the state champion. Those kids battle hard.”

As much as coaches might worry about long road trips, Morrison isn’t worried.

“I think we have it set up to where the kids understand the routine as far as what we do on the road,” Morrison said. “They’re very comfortable with what we do. We want to make it feel like we’re at home as far as the atmosphere in the locker room.”

The atmosphere is sure to be electric at Carroll Stadium Friday, as this game is on the radar of fanatics and me-

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM KANSAS

Why is the name back?

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar

Speaking of title sponsors …

CHEVY RACING/

Yes, NASCAR is still shopping to find a replacement for Sprint as title sponsor for its big-league series. According to a recent article in USA Today, NASCAR could end up with two companies as title sponsors — one for the regular season and one for the Chase. Given how all the teams split their season-long sponsor packages among two or more companies, that might be fitting. But weird, of course.

ALAN MARLER

1. Mystery speed

2. Yeoman Bowman

3. Hometown blues

Joey Logano said Kevin Harvick has a knack of winning when necessary. Harvick was 12th in Chase points before winning Kansas. “I don’t know how, but when they are in must-win situations they find more speed, which is always interesting to me,” he said.

Alex Bowman is gaining more confidence as Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s primary sub in the No. 88 Chevy. He started fifth and finished seventh at Kansas — his second top-10 finish in his past four starts.

He must be getting some attention from car owners looking for young talent.

One of Carl Edwards’ primary goals is to win a race at Kansas, which is his “home” track. He finished an oh-soclose second Sunday. “I’d rather not talk about that,” he said. “It’s tough. There’s so many people that come to this race track that support me and have supported me.”

Well it's not due to geographical pride.

Talladega couldn’t get a deal for a title sponsorship for this week’s race. It's gotta be a tough blow for the Boys in Marketing, since it’s not only a Chase elimination race but one of TV’s beloved plate races, which guarantees whiteknuckling thrills and spills. You’ve seen the commercials.

Kevin Harvick, in the words of the late Barney Hall, was high, wide and handsome at Kansas.

If you have a Round 3 Chase pass, how do you approach Talladega?

GODSPEAK: Qualify, get past the first pit stop for show, then retire with “handling” issues.

KEN’S CALL: Blow your motor on warmup lap, pay engine department to fall on sword.

Do you expect any surprise advancers after Talladega?

GODSPEAK: Austin Dillon continues to find a way in that No. 3 Chevy.

KEN’S CALL: If you consider Chase Elliott a surprise, then yes. He’s moving on.

It’s not how many points the Crimson Tide put on Tennessee last week, though it’s close enough for Vols fans. It’s the name of this week’s race in Talladega, and frankly it should only sound familiar if you’ve been around awhile. For one year only, in the 1970 debut, it was the name of Talladega’s “other” race, which was long known as the Winston 500 and is now the Geico 500.

3 THINGS TO WATCH 1. Chase’s Chase After finishing 31st at Kansas, the Chase playoffs may be over for Chase Elliott.

The 20-year-old rookie now is last in Chase points. He was running with the lead pack before he crashed out with a tire issue. “I don't know what to do, man, we were trying as hard as we can,” he said. “We had such a good car. Just keep after it and try to move on.”

2. Dreaded ’Dega Only Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick don’t care about Talladega, the venue for Race 3 of Round 2 which will decide who continues forward in the Chase. Johnson and Harvick are in on wins. Joey Logano and Austin Dillon share the

bubble position at eighth place, but Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski are six and seven points behind, respectively. ’Dega looms large to any driver advancing on points.

3. Talladega Nights Talladega is such a wildcard race that NASCAR moved it out of Round 3 and back into Round 2 to cushion the

blow to playoff contenders.

Still, it hangs over the Chase like a black cloud. Sample comments — Carl Edwards: “I don’t know, man. That’s a crazy race. Anything can happen there.” Kyle Busch: “It’s all about the racing gods in that story in Talladega.”

Martin Truex Jr.: “Just go race and see what happens.”

Bowman

MATT KENSETH VS. ALEX BOWMAN: Bowman, subbing for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the No. 88 Chevy, made contact with Kenseth, drawing some verbal fire from the 2003 Cup champion.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Kenseth was get-off-my-lawn upset with Bowman.

“Whatever that little kid’s name is who’s driving the No. 88 hung a left and knocked my whole right front fender off,” he groused.

the wide open lanes to hit.

“That’s what we’re looking for,” Montgomery said. “We know our hitters have done their job drawing blocks if we have none. At times, we didn’t have a block to go up against. It’s them getting the defense to go one way and our setters to throw it the opposite way. Credit to our setters Sarah (Behrens) and Dana (Marsden). They do an excellent job reading the court and reading the game.”

At one point, the second set was tied at 5-5. The Tigers then went on to score 20 of the next 24 points to claim the win.

Tiger hitters Sierra Athen and Chloe Johnson had their way against the Panther defense. Athen finished with a match-high 15 kills on 22 attempts with one error, good for a .636 kill efficiency.

Johnson was 10-of-21 with one error, good for a .429 attack percentage.

“Once we got going and we hit our stride, it was much better,” Montgomery said.

“We started working together.”

Creston had no answer defensively for Red Oak’s offense.

“We struggled with our blocking,” Luther said.

Creston freshman Emma Hansen (16) and senior Hannah Hood (7) sky to try and block the kill attempt of Red Oak freshman Sophie Walker during Wednesday’s Class 3A Region 2 first-round match in Red Oak.

“They run such a quick game and unless you’re on the spot, it’s tough to defend that.”

Red Oak’s volleyball sense showed in picking apart Creston’s defense.

“They have a lot of girls that play club,” Luther said.

“They’re very seasoned players. They play a lot and you can tell that. They’re good volleyball players.”

The third set was tied at 10-10. Red Oak then rattled off seven straight points to take control. An emphatic kill on set point ended the night.

Cayla Maitlen led the Panthers with 11 kills. Megan Haley had five kills. Jaxie Luther had seven digs, while Haley had six. Jaxie Luther had 15 assists and was 7-of7 serving with two aces.

Breanna Ross was 11-for11 serving with three aces.

Breanna Wallace was 8-of-9 serving with one ace.

Creston bids farewell to three seniors in Macy Evans, Hannah Hood and Kristy Powers.

Hood battled through injuries her entire career to play her senior season.

“Her determination in getting back to be able to play in this season is a big deal,” coach Luther said. “I feel like the kids need to step back and look at that look at the dedication and time she’s put in to be strong enough this year.”

Evans and Powers did their part to keep the team’s spirits up while on the bench.

“That’s a tough role to CNA photo by RYAN KRONBERG Creston senior Hannah Hood (7) and junior Cayla Maitlen play sitting on the bench for leap to try and block the kill attempt of Red Oak junior four years,” coach Luther Sierra Athen during Wednesday’s Class 3A Region 2 firstsaid. “They did it, continued round match in Red Oak.

to cheer on the team and be our biggest advocate.”

For the rest of the team coming back, finding confidence will be key in the offseason.

“We have a lot of work to do, but our capabilities are huge,” coach Luther said.

“Our skill set is there, we just have to gain a lot of confidence and we don’t have that yet.

“We’ll have that.”

Public notice South Central Regional E911 Board Minutes August 24, 2016 The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Denny Denton, Chair. Other members present were Merlin Dixon, Robert Kempf, Angela Henry, Shirley Jackson, Bill Black, Paul Welch, Ronda Russell, Alan Johannes, Nate Bucher, Mark Williams, Dani Gray, Steve Shelley, and Stephen Patterson. Also present were Lyn Hansen (Hansen's M & M Services) and Diane Sefrit (SCI Administrator).

The minutes of the August 3 meeting were reviewed. Motion by Welch to approve the Aug. 3 minutes as presented.

Second by Henry. All ayes.

The Board reviewed the financial and activity reports. Motion by Russell to approve the reports as presented. Second by Jackson. All ayes. The bills were reviewed. Motion by Welch to approve the bills as presented. Second by Russell. All ayes.

Hannah Lord, GeoComm, was called for a conference call but she did not respond.

Hansen presented her written report.

She indicated information on GeoComm and the NAS units is on the back of her report. The NAS unit is installed in Madison Co. and will be installed on the 25th in Union Co. Currently, only the PSAP's county will show and not surrounding counties. Hopefully, this problem will be corrected soon so that surrounding counties will come up on Pictometry. Current PSAP mapping is not affected by this problem.

Sefrit reported that her 2015-2016 high school helper has graduated and moved on. The school has given her a new person, Whitney Henry, who will be starting.

Sefrit feels she is capable. The Board asked that she attend the next meeting to meet her and get her acquainted with the Board.

The Aug. 11 State E911 meeting which Sefrit attended focused on the consolidation grants. There was an overall view that the language of the rules needed to be improved before grants were made. But there were approximately $800,000 in grants presented and the Council did approve them. It seems these are first-come, first-serve grants and, if any counties are interested, work should get going on the grant ideas.

Denton felt the type of things that could be approved appear to be vague. Sefrit agreed that several were for work on radio systems. Welch asked who had the final say on grant approval and Sefrit indicated the State. Welch felt that it appears this program may turn into a back door into getting radios for the Interoperability system and consolidation may just be with the State.

There was discussion of counties combining CAD systems but inquiries with Shieldware received a response from them that this would not work. Madison Co. and Adams Co. had been looking into this.

This will be further researched by them.

Welch felt that if Linn Co. could get 700 MHz radios then why shouldn't all counties try for that. It would appear that consolidation could just be with the State.

There would be other large costs for towers and other equipment that present problems.

Kempf said usage of system is free but problem is if there is room on a particular tower. If not, then another tower would have to be put up. There was concern that this system does not carry well and towers might be needed as frequently as every 15 miles. There was concern that few towers would have extra space.

Sefrit handed out copies of maps showing usage of grant funds by counties as well as a final report showing how the State spent its money.

Denton brought up that Pictometry contacted him regarding non-payment of a bill. He indicated to them that SCI does not pay until equipment is installed and operating. NAS units are not completed.

A problem with the Racom bill is being straightened out by Sefrit in regards the work done on various county grants that help was given on.

On Text911 Racom will be charging for servers for it. Testing started today and that's why Cochran is not at the meeting tonight. Black Hawk Co. has had it running for a while but there are issues with it working properly.

A conference call was held with Sarah Cochran, Racom. She reported on today's testing of Text911. The testing showed that some software rewriting was needed.

She indicated the NAS unit is to be installed in Union Co. on the 25th.

Sefrit reported that Coon Valley Telephone has increased its fee another approximately $300. She said the manager indicated that the FCC looks at this annually and that's how the fee is determined.

The Board expressed concern on why this company is so much higher than any other small telco with which SCI deals.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:33 p.m.
