No injuries after weekend airplane accident

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

No injuries are being reported after an airplane accident at Creston Municipal Airport over the weekend.

Larry West, manager at the airport, said the incident occured around 2 p.m. Sunday when a pilot from Fort Dodge attempted to land his Piper Colt airplane in windy conditions.

“He landed the plane,” West said, “but the crosswind on the runway can cause problems for an inexperienced pilot. It flipped on its top and rolled out a long ways.”

West could not confirm the name of the pilot this morning. However, the plane is registered to Lee Phillips of Fort Dodge.

West did say this particular Piper Colt was probably made in the 1950s and that the plane did sustain serious damage to its nose and one wing. The plane has been “tied down” at the airport, and an insurance company has been notified.

West said this isn’t totally uncommon. He said, in his 12 years as manager, there have been six plane incidents at Creston Municipal Airport. None resulted in death and the cause is usually a combination of high winds and lightweight airplanes.

On Nov. 19, Creston High School (CHS) and Southwestern Community College (SWCC) students will join others around the state in casting their votes for both a Democratic and Republican candidate as part of the first statewide Iowa Youth Caucus.

Organized by the Iowa Secretary of State’s office and the state Democratic and Republican parties, the free event is designed to educate Iowa high school and community college students about the process and why Iowa’s first-in-the-nation status plays a vital role.

The Union County Republican and Democratic parties will coordinate the local event, which will begin 5:30 p.m. at CHS. Registration and a dinner begins at 4:30 p.m.

During the evening, local

event gives them a handson opportunity to learn more about the governmental processes they are becoming more engaged in.

“I love the idea,” Jacobson said. “This really ties in well with where I’m at in my curriculum.”

Jacobson said it’s also an opportunity for his students to learn about something many citizens don’t pay much attention to.

“Not a lot of people find out about the nomination process,” Jacobson said.

“They’re just really in the unknown as to how exactly we get down to one candidate for each party.”

Marcia Fulton, who serves with Carol Smith as co-chairwoman of the Union County Democratic Party, said she’s excited for students to have the opportunity to participate in such a teachable moment.

that the business was for sale.

“As a banker, I know owners of small businesses have to consider whether or how their business will continue after their departure, as well as providing for their personal retirement. They are concerned for their clients’ and staffs’ future well-being and often for the legacy of their life’s work.”

Knock said he and his wife, Jan Knock had addressed these concerns regarding the bank’s future in 2010.

“At our urging the bank’s Board of Directors established the ISSB Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The ESOP provides a way for ownership and control of the bank to remain local and in the hands of experienced, knowledgeable bankers after Jan and I are out of the picture. ISSB ESOP ownership keeps decision making local and provides staff an opportunity to realize significant retirement benefits through ownership of the business they help create.”

Knock said the current deal’s structure provides that Draper, Snodgrass, Mikkelsen & Co. staff will become members of the ISSB Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

Knock said he approached Snodgrass because he was concerned that the accounting and income tax preparation business might sell outside the community or close.

“Our management team thought ISSB could continue accounting, tax and payroll

“We are open to “The more peoanyone from the ple from the community that’s willing to volunteer community that their time and effort,” Owens we get, the betsaid. “The more people from the community that we get, ter it will be.” the better it will be.”

Owens said there will also vote. services for clients of Draper, Snodgrass, Mikkelsen by keeping the firm’s capable team intact. We saw opportunity and considered Bob the key. We made him promise to stay aboard.” Knock said.

He continued, “Bob was eager to resolve his issues regarding the future of the firm and excited for the opportunity to continue to serve his clients, to remain active in the community and to help keep ISSB a vibrant and vital resource for people in this part of Iowa.”

Bob Snodgrass has been a member of Iowa State Savings Bank’s Board of Directors since 1994.

The bank’s senior management team consists of CEO Knock, President Kevin Stewart and Chief Financial Officer Adam Snodgrass.

The entire management team thought the acquisition was a good idea. President Stewart saw immediate benefits for bank customers.

“From my perspective,” Stewart said, “This acquisition expands our ability to help our customers and the whole community. For example, our loan officers help some customers with preparation of annual financial statements. Some customers sometimes tell us about income tax problems that we can help bridge with financing but cannot resolve with tax authorities. Our new affiliated relationship with Draper, Snodgrass, Mikkelsen & Co. provides an easy referral to a team of professionals that can help with these and other kinds of problems.”

Stewart added that he anticipates at some point Drap-

er, Snodgrass, Mikkelsen accounting staff may assist with internal bank audit processes that help maintain the bank’s safe and sound operation.

“We will always have outside auditors and examiners.

The more expertise we can apply internally, the better we expect those audits and exams to go.”

ISSB CFO Adam Snodgrass saw the same synergy.

“I view our acquisition of the DSM firm as matching a need with an opportunity.

ISSB actively manages for customers’ needs by growing our services and service area, consequently expanding our customer base to remain a successful, employee-owned financial institution. In recent years we grew and expanded primarily through product and service innovation, by taking care of customers and by purchasing or opening traditional bank branch locations. The opportunity to partner with an accounting firm whose service offerings are separate from the bank’s existing services, yet also very complimentary to our core business, is very exciting.”

Adam Snodgrass commented about a very personal benefit he sees from the acquisition transaction. “On a personal note, I am pleased to have the chance to work more closely with my father and to have a role in the future success of a business he devoted more than forty years of his life to building.”

Knock said customers and clients of the two firms should expect no change with regard to confidential financial information. He said both firms are well regulated regarding customers’ right to privacy.

“Customers and clients can expect no change regarding confidentiality between the two firms. Clients will still have to authorize Draper, Snodgrass, Mikkelsen & Company to provide confidential financial information to Iowa State Savings Bank, and customers will have to authorize Iowa State Savings Bank to provide confidential financial information to Draper, Snodgrass, Mikkelsen & Company.”

Regarding the future, Knock said the bank’s management team and Board have a long-term, growth-oriented perspective. He said the bank and accounting firm plan to hire additional professional staff.

“We need experienced income tax and accounting professionals in contemplation of Bob’s eventual retirement and to facilitate his participation in extending our service offerings in our new subsidiary and within the bank. We will seek out other additions to our professional staff. We have a good idea of who we are and who the community needs us to be.

We have a plan and this acquisition is an important step in that plan. We’re not done yet,” Knock concluded.

Don’t cheat on the seat Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about people who park cars: “My Sound Off is about parking valets, oil changers, mechanics and anyone else who has to move my car. You don’t have to adjust the seat.

You’re driving less than 100 feet. You don’t have to put the seat all the way back to look ‘cool’ while moving my car.

The seat is adjusted for my 6-foot frame, and I know you will fit behind the wheel.” — J.H., Wolcott, Conn.

This can be annoying, especially when you have the seat adjusted for yourself. In your case, your 6-foot frame fits just right, but if the “new driver” is 5 feet 8 inches tall, with short legs, they need to move the seat forward. If you have long legs and are short-waisted (a short torso), your feet reach the pedals, but your eyes may not be able to see over the hood.

Many times at large functions, the “drive” may be well over 100 feet. It could be around the block or several streets over. — Heloise P.S.: Readers? What say you? Now is your chance to chime in. Valets? Let’s hear from you, too!

Panther harriers finish season at state meet

Nodaway Valley junior Shane Breheny (903) runs with the pack in the first mile of the Class 1A boys race at Saturday’s State Cross Country Meet in Fort Dodge.

Breheny led the Wolverines to the team title with his fourth-place finish.

Wolverines dominate Class 1A in championship run

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

FORT DODGE — Reduced to tears, an emotional Darrell Burmeister walked back to the Nodaway Valley camp after the conclusion of the Class 1A boys race here Saturday at the State Cross Country Meet.

“We’ve waited a year for this,” the Nodaway Valley coach said.

The Wolverines finished fourth at last year’s state meet, just 23 points away from team champion Bellevue and eight points out of third place. The team left last year’s meet empty handed.

But Nodaway Valley’s “Black Plague” redeemed itself Saturday, dominating the Class 1A field and winning the school’s second boys state cross country team title.

Nodaway Valley scored 61 points, beating runner-up Pekin by 58 points and thirdplace Iowa City Regina by 63 points.

Balance was key for the Wolverines. All five scoring runners finished in the top 30 overall and in the top 17 of the displaced scoring. Junior Shane Breheny led the wave of black jerseys with his fourth-place finish in 16:57.2.

Brayten Funke finished 20th in 17:26.7, followed by Brycen Wallace in 21st at 17:27.1. Nate Venteicher

crossed in 17:31.5 for 24th and Skyler Rawlings ran 17:39.1 for 29th. Lenox senior Jacob Bolinger, making his state meet debut, finished in the middle of the Nodaway Valley pack at 27th in 17:35.7.

Senior Heath Downing pushed opposing team’s scoring runners back with his 46th-place finish in 17:52.3.

Dallas Kreager finished 123rd in 19:07.2 Nodaway Valley had all five scoring runners in before any other team had three runners finish.

The Wolverines finished with an average time of 17:24.4 and a one through five spread of 41.9 seconds.

“A very close team and pack running in 1A can do it for you and that’s what we did today. We thought we had the most balanced team here and I guess we did,” Burmeister said. “We got pretty close to Shane this year. I think our spread last year was over a min- Burmeister ute and I think our spread this year is a lot better.”

Moving up

Another key in the Wolverines winning their first state championship since 2002 was movement in the second half of the race.

That was one of the downfalls for the Wolverines at last year’s state meet — not enough movement in the second half of the race.

Saturday, nearly every runner moved up throughout the the second half.

Breheny, known for setting a blistering pace at the start of races, showed patience and went out under control. He was eighth during the early parts of the race and steadily moved his way up, finishing fourth.

“I had a lot of patience with this one,” Breheny said. “I didn’t want to go out too hard and wear myself down. That’s something I was really worried about. I just wanted to do the best I could do.”

Breheny becomes just the second Wolverine boy to earn all-state honors twice, joining Mark Holan.

His fourth place finish is the highest finish ever for a Wolverine boy.

“I thought he ran a smart race,” Burmeister said. “I told everybody he’d be in the lead after a half mile, but I thought he did a nice job. He ran a smart race and that’s probably about the highest he could finish this year. Next year, he’ll go for it all.”

Funke, Wallace, Venteicher and Rawlings all showed strong movement in the second half of the race, as well. Wallace, Ven-

teicher and Rawlings all moved up from the 30s into the 20s.

“Around the 2-mile mark is pretty much where we made the move,” Venteicher said. “We said we just have to keep moving, because the starting line, you can get blocked in pretty quick. So we said if you get blocked in, just keep moving.”

“I told them, it doesn’t really make any difference what order you come in, you’re all going to be engraved on the trophy,” Burmeister said. “The team is what we believe in. Different guys step up on different days.”

As the wave of black jerseys streamed in toward the front of the pack, it became clear the Wolverines would be the team champion, and that it wouldn’t be close.

The Nodaway Valley runners had a good idea in the finish chute they’d accomplished their goal.

“I was worried; I didn’t know where they were,” Breheny said. “I was just hoping they were close enough. When I saw them coming in that pack, I knew we’d done it.”

“When I came up the top of the hill and saw Shane finishing, I knew it was pretty locked in right there, because I knew Heath was CHAMPS | 7A

final Wednesday night against fourth-ranked Sidney, which topped Fremont-Mills Friday, 3-1, The conference rivals meet at 7 p.m. at Clarinda High School.

The Raiderettes (25-10) displayed their usual dominance in rolling to the second set victory after an error-prone opening set. That momentum carried over in building a 16-7 lead in the third set.

Stanton came roaring back, outscoring Mount Ayr 18-7 the rest of the way in taking a 2-1 match lead, and recapturing momentum.

With leads of 10-3 and 146, the Viqueens weren’t seriously challenged until Kelcie Shields served four straight points in pulling Mount Ayr within 20-18 in the final set.

Stanton used a 5-1 spurt to finish off the victory.

Stanton coach Jody Druivenga said her team’s comeback in the third set was a decisive factor.

“We’ve had a season where we’ve been all over the place,” Druivenga said.

“We play a lot of volleyball.

We play a lot of big tournaments where we get thumped around a lot. But when we’re

playing those teams like Red Oak, St. Albert, Treynor — these girls never panic. From years of that, you just don’t panic about what’s happening, and you believe that you can always turn it around.

We’ve had some games this year when we’ve come back from far behind.

“Momentum is so key in volleyball,” Druivenga added.

“When you have it you love it; when you don’t, you wish you did.”

Mount Ayr coach Tori Braby said the mistakes in losing the opening set were evidence of the experience difference between the two teams in such a pressurized setting.

“Stanton was ready for a big game,” Braby said. “We haven’t been in a big game like this before and it showed.

You could definitely tell the nerves were big time in that first game. Our passing was not good, and that’s usually what we rely on. Then you can’t get your hitters going.”

Braby was encouraged by the dominance of the second set and nine-point lead in set three, thinking that perhaps the opening RAIDERETTES | 6A

FORT DODGE — Saturday’s races may not have been the end the Creston cross country team hoped for, but the important thing was the season’s end came at the State Cross Country Meet here at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course.

Four-time state qualifier Cooper McDermott, the fourth-ranked runner in Class 3A, had hopes of an allstate finish, but tumbled to a 32nd-place finish to lead the Panther contingent.

Junior Ben Irr, running in his second state meet, finished 110th in the boys race and senior Jessica Beatty finished 118th in her first career state meet competition.

“I was very proud of all three of them,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said.

“When you look at that, it’s hard to qualify. All three of those kids belonged. They proved they deserved to be running there.”

McDermott positioned himself well early in the race, running in a large pack toward the front of the race.

As the race began to unfold, McDermott found himself in 15th place at the mile marker, in good position to achieve his goal of a top-15 all-state finish.

Just a quarter of a mile later, the Panther senior still ran in that pack, but had moved into 18th place. At the halfway point, McDermott had dropped to 23rd.

But he began to move his way back up, climbing to 20th at the 2-mile mark.

McDermott began to tighten up in the second half of the race, however.

“I was happy with where I was at the beginning. It just kind of went downhill from there,” McDermott said.

Halfway through to 2 miles, I wasn’t feeling very good.

Upper body and my legs felt all right, but they weren’t great. Things just kind of fell apart. Not really the way I wanted it to end, but that’s how it goes.”

With a half mile to go, McDermott was in 22nd place, but couldn’t mount a comeback in the final stretch.

“Didn’t seem like he was as loose as he wanted to be,” Schlapia said. “Cooper, he PANTHERS | 7A

Scar ends career with state medal

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

FORT DODGE — Nodaway Valley senior Destiny Scar capped of a stellar high school cross country career with a fifthplace finish in the Class 1A girls race here Saturday at the State Cross Country Meet.

East Union junior Emma Harper finished 38th, while Lenox senior Jacob Bolinger finished 27th in the Class 1A boys race.

Scar entered the state meet ranked sixth and improved on her ranking.

The Wolverine senior got out well in a chase pack of t h r e e with Bell e v u e s o p h o m o r e Scar Camryn Reeg and Pekin senior Gwynne Wright behind Durant senior Alyssa Williams, who took command of the race early.

But by a kilometer into the race, Reeg and Wright had broken away from Scar, leaving her isolated between two packs.

“I knew from the start, I saw one of the girls go out really hard and I thought I remember seeing that jersey before,” Scar said.

“Then I realized it was from one of the articles

I saw and it was Alyssa Williams. I saw her and I was like, ‘there’s no way she’s backing out of this.’

So I went up to the next girl behind her and settled in. They broke away from me and I was just running alone like I usually do.”

Scar ran alone in fourth place for the majority of the race, until Haley Schroeder of Central Elkader passed her in the final 400 meters of the race.

Scar crossed the finish line in 20:05.8 for fifth place — her best finish at the state meet. Williams won easily in 19:12.9, with Reeg taking second in 19:26.8.

“She was in fourth and the Elkader Central girl got her down the stretch, but that’s OK,” Nodaway Valley head coach Darrell Burmeister said. “Coming off last year not running and getting hurt, we’re very happy with her. She’s got spring track and she’s looking at several colleges.

We just have to keep her healthy and she’ll keep on getting better in her career.”

Scar joins Megan Winklemann and Alyse Herr as the only Nodaway Valley girls to earn all-state honors twice.

Harper, meanwhile, got out to a faster start than normal and ended up 38th in 21:15.8.

Creston/O-M’s annual football fundraiser allowed purchase of the $1,800 system prior to the season, and freshman football coach Jon Thomson, a teacher at Creston Elementary School, did much of the set-up work for the Panther staff. “The echo system allows the coaches to see the previous plays within a couple of seconds from our cameras up in the air in the end zone — giving great perspective on the line action — as well as the side view from the press box,� Thomson said. “The feed from the camera runs through an AC cord to a laptop computer next to it, where it is processed into a little video file and through a wireless router, which we have in a closed system so we’re the only one that can get on that wireless wi-fi. “The computer then sends that video wirelessly to the wi-fi on our iPads on the sideline and the press box,�

Thomson continued. “We have two students running the cameras and another student that is running an iPad on the sideline who enters information such as down, distance, hash mark, pass-run offense, defense or special teams. That information is color-coded to the iPads to led\t the coaches know, and find the picture they need quickly. If a coach wants to see the last play and see what happened or make adjustments, it’s easy to see quickly and they can go over those things with the players.�

Head coach Brian Morrison is a big proponent of the system, saying it enhances communication with the players instantly. Coach-

es can filter plays by type, down and player. “We’re getting the live feed to our iPads, so they can see it in the press box and we can see it on the sidelines as soon as it happens,�

Morrison said. “Coach (Kevin) Cooper and coach (Todd) Jacobson are in the press box, and sometimes coach Thomson. We’re the only team in the district that I know that has it other than Dallas Center-Grimes. Your halftime is more efficient, no doubt.�

Offensive help

Co-coach Ryan McKim, the team’s offensive coordinator, said the system has become more efficient with Thomson on the sideline doing the sorting of plays, so McKim can instantly see what he needs to review a play. “After we’re off the field on offense, I can say I want to watch the first down play, or the third down play, or whatever, and JT has that organized,� McKim said. “Early in the year I was sorting through it on my own, and that was hard to do.

He’s down there, he sees it, he can give me live feedback during the game on what he sees. Instead of watching the game, he’s watching the picture. It’s good. Coach (Casey) Tanner uses it a lot with the linemen, too. He’s able to give feedback to his guys

between series. It’s helped a ton. It’s worth every penny spent on it.�

McKim said halftime has changed, as sometimes the entire team sees some plays of significance, or groupings of players watch something that pertains to them. “That stuff wasn’t legal in college when I was working at Iowa State and Oklahoma,� McKim said. “The NFL has it. You see everyone with those Surface screens. I think Surface sponsors it. It’s great to have that instant view and be able to provide feedback to the kids like that.�

Thomson is the valuable “tech guy� behind the scenes, Morrison said, noting that he’s also the one who uploads game video to the HUDL system exchanged by teams. “He uploads everything from practices and games,�

Morrison said, “and this echo system is high-tech stuff. Without JT, we’d be a mess!�

Mount Ayr had swept the Viqueens 21-18, 21-14 in the same gym during the Bedford tournament on Sept.

26. in that match, Stanton served only 85 percent and Shields was a force with 12 kills in just two sets.

On Friday, Stanton served 93 percent and Shields was limited to 15 kills in four sets.

Jody Vanderholm led an improved Stanton blocking effort at the net ( f i v e ) , K. Shields which gave the active back row more chances to keep points alive.

Devin Druivenga had 21 digs as Stanton’s libero.

Chelsea Weis, meanwhile, paced the Viqueen attack with 17 kills and Ally Focht added 10. “Stanton did a good job on defense,� Braby said. “When they started blocking Kelcie a little bit, we stopped hammering the ball like we usually do.�

Druivenga said her team concentrated on neutralizing some of that power at the net that carried Mount Ayr to victory in the first meeting. “We worked a lot in the last few nights in practice on our defense on balls coming off the block,� Druivenga said. “We knew Kelcie was a very dominant player and she was their go-to girl. We knew if we could do some things different and maybe take them out of their game

Finals matchup

Stanton has lost twice this season to fourth-ranked Sidney, but Druivenga is encouraged her team can challenge for a state tournament berth. “The first set in our conference match at home was 28-30,� Druivenga said. “In the other two games we were at 19 and in the 20s. They are a very good team, but we think we have a chance with a good performance.�

Braby, meanwhile, wasn’t ready for the Raiderettes’ season to be over. Mount Ayr was favored to be the opponent for Sidney in Wednesday’s final. “I told them in the locker room that I don’t really have a speech planned, because I really didn’t think this would be our outcome,� Braby said. “But, we knew that in the postseason, Stanton is just warriors. Our girls know they can play better than this. It won’t leave a good taste.�

Braby loses outside hitter Kirsten Dolecheck from her main rotation along Braby

with seniors Laura Davison and Ashton Quick. “We’re going to miss those seniors, and I really wanted to win this match for them,�

Braby said. “We have three freshmen just waiting to step in and I think we can be very good again next year. Now we know what a big game is all about.�

Royals win Series NEW YORK (AP) — One agonizing step from ecstasy last season, this time the Kansas City Royals reign after their latest incredible comeback and a go-ahead hit from maybe the most unlikely player in uniform.

Christian Colon singled home the tiebreaking run in the 12th inning and those bound-and-determined Royals rallied one more time to beat the New York Mets 7-2 in 12 innings early Monday for their first World Series championship since 1985.

Down 2-0 in the ninth, Kansas City fought back in Game 5 against two of the top arms on the pitching-rich Mets: Matt Harvey and Jeurys Familia.

The Viqueens emphasized serving to the left side of the Mount Ayr defense. “If you serve to that side of the court, it looked like they had a harder time getting the ball to her,� Druivenga noted. “So, that’s something we tried a little bit. The other thing was, we told our 6-foot girl (Vanderholm) that her job tonight was not hitting — it’s blocking. All teams fall a little flat if their big hitter is taken out a little bit.

Irr got out in the middle of the pack, caught up in a lot of congestion on the packed course.

He came through the mile around 50th place, but had dropped to 60th by the halfway point.

“I thought they had good, hard starts coming of the box,” Schlapia said. “When it’s a state race, there’s no comfort zone. Ben even talked about it was uncomfortable with his breathing. He just didn’t feel comfortable.”

I r r crossed the finish line in 18:11.2 on the wet, soggy course for a 110th-place finish out of Irr 138 finishers.

“With Ben, when we were getting ready to leave, we made sure he took another good look at the course, because we want him to be back up there again next year,” Schlapia said.

Beatty, meanwhile, got her first taste of the State Cross Country Meet as a competitor.

The Panther senior finished 118th out of 139 competitors with her time of 21:50.3 over the 5K course.

Beatty stayed in the 100 to 115 range for much of the race, surrounded by several familiar opponents from Glenwood, Denison-Schleswig and Harlan.

“JB, she was a spectator all these years before,” Schlapia said. “She got that state meet experience and that came from all the hard work she put in during track and the summer.

It was special to be able to run up there at state. We wanted to enjoy the moment and not take anything for granted.

Corning Elementary School among 12 STEM Advisory Council awardees CEDAR FALLS — The Iowa Governor’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Advisory Council has awarded 12 new STEM BEST (Businesses Engaging Students and Teachers) and STEM RLE (Redesigned Learning Environment) models across Iowa.

Both STEM BEST and STEM RLE models transform typical K-12 classroom environments and methods to unite business and education and develop clear pathways from STEM education to STEM careers in the state.

Since 2014, the STEM Council has established four STEM RLE

and five STEM BEST models that currently serve as examples of these business-education partnerships.

“The STEM BEST model allows students to experience a local industry or business environment firsthand that exposes them to STEM career opportu- Reynolds nities right in their backyards,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, co-chair of the STEM Council. “The STEM

RLE model engages students in a more collaborative, technological environment that prepares them for STEM success in college or career training after high school.”

The STEM Council’s executive committee voted unanimously to award and support 12 of 22 proposed partnerships that bring to the table a total cost-share commitment of $630,628.

The $300,000 STEM Council investment made possible through a combination of state and private sector funds is divided equally among 12 awardees to purchase equipment and provide

teacher training. Corning Elementary School was one of the 12 selected from the Southwest STEM Region in the division STEM RLE. “Uniting business and education is a key priority of the STEM Council,” said Dr. Chris Nelson, president and CEO of Kemin Industries and co-chair of the STEM Council. “These 12 new models will help bridge the education to workforce gap by addressing local industry strengths and challenges in each region of the state to ultimately shape the future of Iowa’s economic development.”
