IPTV brings learning center Lawmakers to MATURA WIC clinic agree on

stalled VA accountability legislation WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Republicans and Democrats have reached agreement on a bill to make it easier for the Department of Veterans Affairs to fire its employees, part of an accountability effort touted by President Donald Trump.

The deal announced early Thursday could smooth the way for final passage on an issue that had been largely stalled since the 2014 waittime scandal at the Phoenix VA medical center. As many as 40 veterans died while waiting months for appoint-

ments as VA employees created secret waiting lists and other falsehoods to cover up delays.

The bipartisan deal on Capitol Hill followed a fresh warning from the VA inspector general of continuing patient safety problems at another facility, the VA medical center in Washington D.C. After uncovering serious problems there last month, the IG’s “rapid response” team visited the facility again on Wednesday VA | 2A

Children of women and families visiting the MATURA WIC clinic in Creston now have more educational opportunities at their fingertips, thanks to the installation of a learning center by Iowa Public Television.

IPTV’s commitment to early childhood education through its Ready for School program provided the learning center at Creston’s MATURA

WIC clinic, located 210 Russell St. The learning center features a bookshelf filled with age-appropriate books to foster children’s early literacy skills. It also features a flat-screen television showing IPTV’s children’s programming.

“In the clinic setting, the parents are often talking to one of our professional staff, so that leaves some of the kids with nothing to do or just playing with toys,” said Karla Hynes, WIC/MCAH director for MATURA Action Corporation.

“So, having these books, which are a m a z i n g Hynes books, as an option for them to have something to read or having the

television up with educational programming gives them something to occupy them.”

The addition of the learning center allows parents time to have time with the dietitians and nurses to ask questions while not worrying about what their children are doing.

The books and television were dropped off at the Creston location April 17. Included were nearly 100 books, which IPTV said it will restock, so the MATURA WIC clinic does not have to worry about inventory running low if children find a book they like and take it home with them.

“We’re excited to bring a Ready for School learning center to Creston, where families can spend time together reading books and watching trusted, age-appropriate

programming,” said Ken Harrison, director of educational services at IPTV. “Iowa Public Television uses the power of media to spark children’s curiosity to get them excited about learning.”

Hynes said the books have seen heavy traffic already, as the first two days the clinic had the books were WIC Clinic Days in the Creston office.

“I would say there’s close to 100 books here,” she said. “They’re cute little books. I think there’s some Dr. Seuss in there, all sorts of different ones.

There was one about llamas and one child just wanted that book, so we said, ‘OK, take it.’”

Historic amusement park in Iowa to get $12M renovation ARNOLDS PARK (AP) — Officials of in a northern Iowa city have announced $12 million in upgrades to a historic amusement park along a local lake.

The project on West Lake Okoboji in Arnolds Park includes construction of a new Roof Garden Ballroom, restoration of the Majestic Pavilion, expansion of the Iowa Great Lakes Maritime Museum and a lakefront boardwalk, the Sioux City Journal reported.

An anonymous group of

donors has already pledged $6 million to the Restore the Park campaign.

Another $2 million has been raised through contributions from the Historic Parks Inc. and The Park Foundation boards, according to Historic Parks Inc. CEO Charley Whittenburg.

He said a committee of current and past board members will spearhead the remaining fundraising.

Dakota Access pipeline leaked 84 gallons of oil in April BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Dakota Access pipeline leaked 84 gallons of oil in South Dakota early last month, which an American Indian tribe says bolsters its argument that the pipeline jeopardizes its water supply and deserves further environmental review.

The April 4 spill was relatively small and was quickly cleaned up, and it didn’t threaten any waterways.

The state’s Department of Environment and Natural Resources posted a report in its website’s searchable database, but it didn’t take any other steps to announce it

to the public, despite an ongoing lawsuit by four Sioux tribes seeking to shut down the pipeline.

Brian Walsh, an environmental scientist with the agency, said Wednesday that the state doesn’t issue news releases on spills unless there is a threat to public health, a fishery or a drinking water system.

He said there was no such threat with the Dakota Access leak, which happened nearly 100 miles east of the Missouri River’s Lake Oahe reservoir, which is the tribes’ OIL | 12A

Today is May 11, the 131st day of the year. So, there are 234 days left in 2017. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (May 8-14) in history:

10 years ago The Iowa Aviation Museum in Greenfield received grant money to use for protecting antique aircraft in the museum’s hangar.

Director Lee Ann Nelson said climate control was a crucial step in extending the life of the aircraft. She said the newly installed heating and air-conditioning units would make sure the planes were there for decades to come.

Elizabeth Kenyon, daughter of Timothy and Barbara Kenyon, was the recipient of the All-Academic Award and Kari McCann, daughter of Steve and Jane McCann, was the recipient of the Character Award at the 2007 Hawkeye 10 Conference All-Academic Team and Character Awards banquet.

20 years ago Rick Rice, director of Crossroads Mental Health Center in Creston, and Larry Gile, assistant director of special education at Green Valley AEA 14 in Creston, formed one of the most unique livestock operations in the area by opting to go into the exotic animal business and raise bison.

The two started the business in early March when they purchased eight bison from a farm in Missouri and couple of weeks later, added four more from a sale in Fairfield. They were taking care of the the small herd

and found at least two new instances in which patients were “placed at unnecessary risk.”

In one case, they found a patient prepped for vascular surgery in an operating room, under anesthesia, whose surgery was postponed because “the surgeon did not have a particular sterile instrument necessary to perform the surgery.” The team also found “surgical instruments that had color stains of unknown origin in ster-

on 80 acres of land north of Creston owned by Gile.

Creston city letter carriers participated in the National Association of Letter Carriers annual food drive for the first time. Brian Hudson, Cindy Martin, Mark Evans, Don Johnson, Joann Huddleson, Vanessa Martin and Mike Miller picked up more than 2,000 pounds of non-perishable goods donated by customers and delivered the food to Union County Neighborhood Center.

The 25th RAGBRAI subcommittee members in Creston participated in a three-hour statewide teleconference on Iowa Communications Network to share preparation arrangements for up to 20,000 bicyclists and support personnel for the upcoming overnight stay July 21 in Creston.

50 years ago Walter Cunningham, a native of Creston, was chosen as a member of the three-man crew for the first manned flight of the Apollo spacecraft along with Navy Captain Walter Schirra Jr. and Air Force Major Donn Eisele. The three were the back-up crew for the three astronauts who died in a fire on a launching pad in January 1967 in a pre-launch test. The spacecraft had been redesigned with fireproof materials and piping and wiring were improved.

Creston High School photographer, Mark Tedrow won first prize in the Iowa High School Press Association photography competition. His winning photo was taken at the homecoming pep rally for the 1967 yearbook and showed two cheerleaders setting their

torches to a bonfire. He received a check for $10.

The biggest vegetable de-stoner ever made at Veg-A Peel Company was shipped to Swinson Foods in Charlotte, North Carolina. The vertical auger lift was 25 feet tall and would lift potatoes from a basement storage area to the processing room on the second floor of the Swinson plant. A standard de-stoner life was 6 1/2 feet tall, according to Joe Wallace, Veg-A-Peel general manager.

Construction on a new parsonage for the superintendent of the Creston district of the Methodist church was to begin on a lot at the corner of Park and Lake streets in Creston. Walter Herzberg was awarded the contract and expected completion was around Nov. 1.

ile packs,” according to the IG’s letter sent to the VA. The inspector general again urged the department to take immediate action to correct problems.

The new accountability measure softens portions of a bill that had passed the House in March, which Democrats criticized as unfairly harsh on workers.

Sens. Jon Tester of Montana and Johnny Isakson of Georgia, the top Democrat and the Republican chair on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, worked to make modifications that in part would give VA employees added

time to appeal disciplinary actions.

House Veterans Affairs’ Committee Chairman Phil Roe, sponsor of the House measure, said he would support the revisions.

“To fully reform the VA and provide our nation’s veterans with the quality care they were promised and deserve, we must ensure the department can efficiently dismiss employees who are not able or willing to do their jobs,” said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., the lead sponsor of the bill.

It comes after Trump last month signed an executive order to create a VA Of-

fice of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection, with an aim of identifying “barriers” that make it difficult for the VA to fire or reassign bad managers or employees. VA Secretary David Shulkin had urged the Senate to act quickly to pass legislation.

The GOP-controlled House previously approved an accountability bill mostly along party lines. Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn., argued the House should embrace language instead from a bipartisan bill by Isakson from last year with added due process protections for workers.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, May 11, 2017

Don’t forget good old Mothers Day is Sunday Sunday is “Mom’s special day.”

A chance to say “thanks” to all those special ladies in your lives.

I remember when my mom was alive, we would always try to take her out to eat. We would go to a restaurant in Lincoln that served Southern fried lobster. She loved lobster and it was a real treat for her to spend some time with all of us kids. So, take some time out and spend a little time with your mom or grandmother. It will be a treat for all involved.

Fireworks I see outgoing governor Branstad signed the fireworks bill giving Iowans a chance to legally shoot off fireworks in the state again.

We will get to keep our money at home by purchasing fireworks in our own county. I know a num-

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

ber of cities are still working on rules for their jurisdictions, including Creston. I know fireworks can be a problem if not used correctly.

But, I think it is about time Iowa caught up with the rest of world on the fireworks front.

Birds It sure seems like there have been a lot more birds around this year. I have a feeder and the number of birds and the number of different kinds of birds is growing.

I’ve seen birds this year I have never seen before, from doves to

wrens to red headed woodpeckers.

up doesn’t hurt.

Mick Landers

Rain

This weekend at the Iowa Barnstormers game, Mick Landers will be honored. Tickets for the event can be purchased at Kilgore’s RV if you would like to attend the event.

The rain gods are slowing down some of the farm planting this year. Doesn’t seem like we get too many days in a row before we get just enough rain to keep the farmers out of the field again. Could be a wet summer again at this rate.

Back up to speed Our newsroom grew by one this week with new reporter Carter Eckl. In the coming couple of weeks, we will add another new reporter who just graduated from Iowa State. It will get our local news coverage back up to where it was before the vacancies. We work hard at covering the local area. If you would ever have a good story idea, you are welcome to give us a call. We try to be in as many places as possible, but sometimes a heads

SWCC Friday night is the annual SWCC spring graduation. A number of graduates from around the area will walk the stage. I’ve talked to several students who made it to their associate degree in one year just by taking several classes in high school and maybe an online class or two.

Farmers market The Creston farmers market will begin June 5. I see the Des Moines

farmers market started last weekend. Reports were the crowds were tremendous with the nice weather on Saturday.

Fishing I went out by Twelve Mile Lake this last weekend and there were plenty of boats out on the lake.

I’ve heard reports the fishing is doing well. Lots of crappies and plenty of panfish to be had. Without Three Mile back to normal yet after last year’s draining, it looks like Twelve Mile will see most all the action this year. Although, I hear the walleye fishing at Green Valley has been good, also.

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

The Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood celebrated its 45th anniversary Monday with a special all-star show. It was touch and go for awhile. Concerned ticket-holders lit up the switchboard that afternoon when word spread around Los Angeles that Trump had fired Comedy.

President Trump’s firing of Jim Comey put Capitol Hill in partisan lockdown Tuesday. In just three months, Trump has fired the National Security Advisor and the Acting Attorney General, and the FBI Director and 46 U.S. Attorneys. This is the craziest season of The Apprentice EVER. President Trump sent a note to Jim Comey saying the Attorney General recommended he be fired and said he’d accepted that recommendation. My guess is, he was keeping a campaign promise. At the end of election night, Donald Trump DID ask Hillary if there was anything he could do for her.

President Trump fired FBI Director Jim Comey over how he sabotaged Hillary Clinton in the middle of the race with his email scandal updates. It hurt her campaign. Apparently President Trump hates being president so much that he just fired James Comey for costing Hillary the election.

Chuck Schumer called for a special counsel to probe Trump’s campaign ties to Russia about which Trump says he knows nothing. It’s crazy. For two years, Democrats have said

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Trump doesn’t know anything, and now that Trump says he didn’t know anything, the Democrats don’t believe him.

President Trump’s firing of the FBI Director had Democrats comparing Trump to Nixon and the firing to Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre. The anger had to surprise the White House. Donald Trump fired people on TV every week for 10 years and people loved it, and now everybody gets upset.

Jim Comey was in L.A. attending an FBI recruiting event and when he got the word he’d been fired and headed for the airport.

TV cameras Comey followed his motorcade escorted by police down the San Diego Freeway.

People in L.A. just assumed O.J. Simpson had been named the new FBI Director.

Jim Comey’s SUV drove through L.A. Tuesday at FBI standard 2-to-5 miles an hour below the speed limit. That’s a good way to get pulled over here. Whenever an L.A. traffic cop sees you obeying the speed limit, they know you are either an illegal immigrant or you’ve got coke in the trunk.

House and Senate Democrats exulted Tuesday that Comey’s

firing proved that Trump’s people were talking to the Russians. They had a letdown a little later. One news anchor told a group of Democrats it was legal to talk to foreign diplomats and it ruined the vibe like a straight guy on Bravo.

The FCC launched a probe into viewer complaints over CBS Late Night host Steven Colbert’s obscene anti-Trump rant. It’s going nowhere. We have a great tradition in America which says the FCC should forget about Steven Colbert’s monologue and leave the choice of jokes to the voters.

NASA explained Monday that the sonic booms that rocked South Florida Sunday were due to a supersonic unmanned Air Force spy plane returning to earth after two years in space. It landed at Cape Canaveral. Out of habit, United Airlines guards boarded the plane to look for unruly passengers.

North Korean media reported Sunday that the U.S. was complicit in a plot against North Korea’s dictator Kim Jung Un. The CIA concurs. U.S. Navy SEALs were going to land on the roof of the palace, rappel down to Kim’s suite, enter the window, tie him down, and then give him a grown man’s haircut.

Bernie Sanders’ wife Jane is under FBI probe for bank fraud for lying on a loan application she made to keep the liberal college which she ran from going under. Still the school went under last year. The struggle highlights the battle between socialism and its most implacable enemy, arithmetic.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I’ve discovered that my FRIENDSHIPS have made a big impact on my life and even my health! I’m more apt to get out, go exercise, go dancing and go to dinner with my friends than by myself. They support and encourage me.

When I’ve gone through a job loss, the death of a family member or beloved pet, or even a car accident, my friends have been there for me, and I’m there for them in their tough times, too.

My hint is to foster your friendships and stay in touch with good friends. The benefits are many! The love and laughter shared makes me stronger. – Beulah D. in West Virginia PILLOW TALK Dear Heloise: I read your column in the (Wilkes-Barre, Pa.) Times Leader every day. My hint is: Whenever I dry pillows and comforters in my dryer, I always put in three clean tennis balls. They bounce around and keep the contents inside loose, especially feathers. – Rose in Mountain Top, Pa.

THROWBACK THURSDAY – SNACK ATTACK Dear Readers: This hint originally appeared in January of 1971!

“Heloise: Here is a little hint my family enjoys very much.

“When I have a skillet of popcorn about half-popped, I throw in a handful of shelled, raw peanuts or pecans. They will parch by the time the corn has finished popping, and you’ll have corn and nuts.” – Mrs. J.T.B. Popping popcorn on the stovetop ensures that it is fresh and delicious; you can control its butter content (less fat), and the nuts will add a delicious texture. – Heloise FAN SLEEVES Dear Heloise: I made fanblade sleeves for my ceiling fans. I made them out of material and put elastic on the ends to keep them on.

I have them on the master bedroom fan, which is over the bed. I also did the kitchen fan, which collects grease from cooking.

When I’m ready to clean, I have someone pull them off, then I wash them and

SUDOKU

put them back. – Elaine H. in Port Charlotte, Fla. APPLE LOAF Dear Heloise: I shred a peeled apple or two into a casserole of meatloaf for moisture, sweetness and to add an extra serving of fruit.

– Mary C., Liberty Lake, Wash.

BAG IT TO GO Dear Heloise: I enjoy your hints, published daily in the (Warren, Ohio) Tribune Chronicle. Here’s a safety hint: When it’s raining and you are going shopping, to the doctor’s office, etc., take a plastic bag, and after you have folded your umbrella, put it in the bag so it will not drip on surfaces and cause someone to fall.

It also keeps your car’s carpeting dry. – Lonnie in Warren, Ohio 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.

TRACK AND FIELD

Eighth-grade girls third at Hawkeye 10 Seventh-grade takes eighth place ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Monday’s Hawkeye 10 conference junior high conference track and field meet at Creston was another night made for records to fall.

The Creston eighth-grade girls track and field team may have only come in third place, but made noise with their accomplishments in the process.

Creston’s 89.5 points were third behind Atlantic with 106 and Glenwood with 137.

“The meet was not perfect. It definitely had its hiccups, but in the end, we saw some tremendous running by both our seventh and eighth grade runners and throwers,” Creston coach Jeff Sand said. “That is what it is about. Our girls put on a show for their parents and fellow students, and did some amazing things. I cannot be prouder of both of these classes and the strides they have taken. As for the eighth grade class, they will always have a special place with me.”

The Panthers picked up a Hawkeye 10 championship

by Sam Dunphy in the 200 hurdles in a time of 31.22 seconds. Kelsey Fields and Payton Luther picked up the top two spots in the shot put as Fields dominated the event with a throw of 32 feet, 8 inches. Fields also broke her own school discus record with a throw of 1091, to come in second.

Rachel Boyer set an eighth-grade record in the 100 hurdles with a time of 17.98 to take third.

The eighth-grade 4x400 relay team concluded the evening with a performance for the ages. As detailed by Sand: “I saw a determination like none other in our girls that night. They wanted two things, the eighth grade record, and to beat Glenwood.

If they did that, the championship would take care of itself. Rachel Boyer led off with a perfect leg, 1:07, to put us in position for the record, and Peyton Rice ... holy cow, Peyton Rice ...

She ran angry and dominated the other second leggers

with a 1:05 second run which gave Morgan Buxton the baton with no one around.

She nailed a fast 1:08 to get Braelyn Baker, the ultimate closer, a chance to seal the deal. No one could catch her as she ran a PR, 1:05, to get the record and the championship. Amazing race.”

Sand also noted memories like Ali Christensen finding confidence, Molly Sickels becoming an important part of the 4x800 and more as reasons this season will stick in his mind.

Creston’s seventh-grade group finished eighth with 22 team points. Harlan won the seventh-grade class meet with 122, to barely outlast Glenwood, who posted 115.

The Panther distance medley team of Taylor Seaton, Morgan Driskell, Hannah Dryden, Lilli Rooks won a Hawkeye 10 championship in a time of 5:05.78.

On an individual level, Brianna Fields was sixth in the discus and Lilli Rooks was fifth in the 800 meter run.

“The season was fast and furious. I feel like we just started practice a few weeks ago. I feel like the girls made great strides as individuals and as a team,” Seventh-grade coach Courtney Kammerer said. “It was a great experience for all of them and a stepping stone for their future track endeavors. My main goal for them in seventh grade is to find events they enjoy and are comfortable in so that they build a passion and stick with track as they approach high school. They were a great group of girls and made coming to track everyday enjoyable.”

Kralik were on the Hawkeye 10-winning shuttle hurdle unit that also included Britain Miller and Brance Baker, which raced to a time of 1:06.84. “It was a fun track season with a great group of boys.

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

In a tune-up for the conference meet that was hosted in Creston Monday, the Creston Middle School program hosted a meet Friday, as the eighth grade was runner-up to Glenwood and the seventh grade came in fourth place out of five teams.

Several Panthers broke program records and set personal records. Eighth-grader Rachel Boyer set the school 100 meter hurdles record with a time of 17.54.

Kelsey Fields set a PR and record in the shot put by launching her throw 35 feet, 8.5 inches to win the meet and Payton Luther set her own PR in taking second in the shot.

Other top individual finishers for the eighth-graders included a win by Braelyn Baker in the 1,500 in 5:25.59, Field’s second-place discus throw, Peyton Rice’s victory in the open 200 and second-place leap in the long jump, Boyer’s thirdplace high jump hop, Sam Dunphy and Jordan Gonzales going for second and third in the 200 hurdles and Paige Davis earning third in the open 800.

NASCAR THIS WEEK SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Fluke win at a plate race, or more to come from Stenhouse?

GODSPEAK: Jack Roush took the blame for Stenhouse’s performance to date. This could be a turnaround story.

KEN’S CALL: Can’t it be both?

All plate wins are dicey, but he’ll win more races ... eventually.

Yes, hard to believe Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was digging for his first-ever Cup Series win Sunday at Talladega.

The way he went high, low and in between to keep the dogs at bay on that final lap — it was the type of workmanship you’d expect from someone with much more experience at such things.

But Ricky did, after all, win eight times on the Xfinity Series in 2011-12, so it’s not like it was complete foreign ground. By the way, his last win before Sunday was at Kansas, where the Cup Series goes this week.

A Lake Speed mention?

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED 1. Victory kiss

2. Completely Busched

3. Crazy stats

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won his first Cup Series race Sunday and got kissed by another NASCAR driver, his girlfriend Danica Patrick. It ushered in the memory of STP’s Andy Granatelli’s failed attempt to give 1973 Daytona 500 winner Richard Petty a cheek kiss in Victory Lane.

Kyle Busch has been the lap leader in three Cup Series races and has no wins to show for his efforts. Busch led the field to the green flag for two laps of overtime racing and wound up third. “It’s all circumstantial on how you win these things,” Busch said of restrictor-plate racing.

Talladega Superspeedway, the slightly larger tri-oval clone of Daytona, produces some weird stats. Stenhouse became the 11th first-time winner at ’Dega after 158 Cup starts. And, Stenhouse became the 24th driver to make a last-lap pass for the win at the 2.66-mile track.

1. On to Kansas Elliott The Cup Series veterans all say it — restrictor-plate racing at Daytona and Talladega is not tangible racing. So, in their minds, things go back to normal this weekend when the Cup Series races at Kansas Speedway on Mother’s Day eve. Kyle Busch has no love for the plate tracks. After finishing third, he was ready to load up for Kansas City, Kansas.

“We go to a real race track next week, and we’ll try to win there,” he said.

2. Suffering over The long-suffering Roush Fenway Racing operation snapped a 100-something race losing streak when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won Sunday at Talladega. “This has been its ebbs and flows, its ups and downs,” team owner Jack Roush said. Does this mean a complete breakout? Probably

not. Roush has been playing catch-up with fellow Ford competitor Team Penske for three years.

3. All but one All of the mega-teams in Cup Series competition have scored a win this season, with the highly notable exception of Joe Gibbs Racing. Three

Gibbs Racing drivers led 95 of the 191 laps over the 2.66-mile tri-oval. By this time in 2016, Gibbs had dominated the series, winning half of the first 10 races. Kyle Busch said the problem Sunday was the JGR cars were scattered in the last laps.

Speed started 402 Cup races between 1980-98, with his lone win — in 1988 at Darlington — the obvious highlight. Of the 200 or so enshrined in the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame, Speed is the only auto racer. So far.

Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

That was a winless driver we saw?

Is Ricky’s win the closest Danica gets to Victory Lane?

GODSPEAK: Maybe, but it is kind of fun to say you watched two Cup Series drivers kiss in Victory Lane.

KEN’S CALL: Wow, that’s kinda cold. (But yes, most likely.)

Your race-day preference: Sunday afternoon or Saturday night?

GODSPEAK: I don’t like big-league night racing. I remember a sports-car driver once said, “Let’s run in the daytime so we can see what the hell we’re doing!”

KEN’S CALL: The old-schooler in me says Sunday, but if I have Sunday plans, I can be easily talked into Saturday night.

Russell Clayton, 222 Myrtle Street, said that other than inconvenience, the major concern is safety and liability and he is for parking on one side of the street. He questioned whether this would be enforced if it is put into place.

Bob Mullin, 212 Myrtle Street, said he has seen when an ambulance couldn't get through, so he is in favor of one-sided parking.

Linda Birchard, 215 Myrtle Street, is in favor of the one-sided parking. Ms. Birchard is a daycare provider and expressed her concern for the parents when they are picking up and dropping off their children.

Chief Ver Meer said his officers will use common sense on issues like this and there should be no worries.

Chad Hammons, 202 S. Peterson Street, is in favor of one-sided parking. However, he is not in agreement with the side of the street the Committee has chosen because there is less room to park on that side.

Jerry Hynes has three properties in this area. He recommended looking at Jefferson Street, west of Sumner Street. He suggested parking on the south side of Jefferson Street. Public Works Director Kevin Kruse said there were already signs posted for this. Mr. Hynes also brought up a No Parking from Here to Corner sign that is posted west of Sumner Street on the south side of Russell Street, and said the location of it is confusing and people think it's meant for no parking from the sign to Jefferson Street, not from the sign back to Sumner Street.

Councilperson Freeman spoke on behalf of the Committee, and listed the streets they are using for the Pilot Program and the sides of the streets that parking would be allowed on. Parking will be allowed on the west side of Peterson Street from Jefferson to Russell; on the east side of Myrtle Street from Jefferson to Russell; and on the east side of Lincoln Street from Adams to Russell.

Chief Ver Meer was asked how long before tickets would start being issued once the Pilot Parking Program begins. He said he felt one month of warnings would be fair and then begin issuing tickets.

The town hall meeting adjourned at 7:07 P.M. Lisa Williamson, City Clerk

Creston FFA awarded Agriculture Literacy Challenge grant

Iowa Utilities Board to hold public meetings regarding Alliant electric rate increase Meetings are scheduled throughout Alliant Energy’s Iowa service territory with an open for customer participation online.

■

DES MOINES – Interstate Power and Light Company, an Alliant Energy Company (Alliant-IPL), filed an application with the Iowa Utilities Board April 3 seeking an increase in its Iowa retail electric customer rates, Docket No. PRU-2017-0001. Alliant-IPL provides electric service to 490,000 customers and 220,000 natural gas customers in Iowa.

Alliant-IPL is requesting a permanent annual-revenue increase of approximately $176 million or 11.6 percent, with a final average monthly residential bill increase of $14.26 or 12.5 percent, which will vary by customer usage. Under Iowa law, Alliant-IPL will implement a temporary rate increase on April 13 for a $9.47 or 8.3 percent

Kayla Luther of Creston FFA helps Janet Meisenheimer’s second-grade students at St. Malachy School learn about the different things that can be found in soil. FFA members visited Meisenheimer’s classroom as part of the new agriculture literacy project called Casey and Friends. Creston FFA has received a $1,000 agriculture literacy grant from the Iowa Foundation for Agriculture Literacy. Funds will be used to purchase “Casey and Friends” books for elementary classrooms and supplies for projects.

The Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation (IALF) recently awarded five local projects across Iowa funding to help develop an understanding of agriculture with students and adults.

The Agriculture Literacy Challenge grants encourage organizations to teach agriculture to those who aren’t familiar with it. The intent is to increase agricultural awareness and knowledge among all ages. Casey and Friends, organized by Creston FFA in Creston, was one of the five winning applications.

All Iowans are involved in agriculture by eating food and wearing clothes.

Nearly one in five jobs in Iowa is in the agriculture industry. Yet most Iowans have no direct connection to agriculture production or the agriculture industry. Grants were awarded in amounts up to $1,000 to help teach agriculture to the public.

Planned projects include

educating about wind energy, beef production, corn and soy production, pollinators and their habitat and agricultural career options.

Most of the programs rely on multiple partner organizations cooperating to deliver the educational program.

Casey and Friends is a project that stems from the Octane Press book series, “Casey and Friends.” In this series, Casey the farmer uses farm machinery as her character friends to teach children what happens on the farm. Creston FFA members visit elementary classrooms to read the books to the children and conduct hands-on activities to teach the children about farming, food production and the agriculture industry. Each class that takes part in the activity receives a four-book set of “Casey and Friends” books for children to read on their own time. Recently, Creston FFA visited Janet Mei-

water supply.

“We realize Dakota Access gets a lot of attention.

We also try to treat all of our spills in a consistent manner,” Walsh said. “We treated this as we would treat any other 84-gallon oil spill.”

The leak occurred at a rural pump station in the northeast of the state as crews worked to get the four-state pipeline fully operational, Walsh said.

The oil was contained on site by a plastic liner and containment walls and

“I would characterize it as a small operational spill that was cleaned up right away.”

The Standing Rock Sioux tribe, which was the initial plaintiff in the lawsuit, said the leak proves that the pipeline is a threat to its water and cultural sites.

“These spills are going to be nonstop,” tribal Chairman Dave Archambault said. “With 1,200 miles of pipeline, spills are going to happen. Nobody listened to us. Nobody wants to listen, because they’re driven by money and greed.”

quickly cleaned up. Some oil-contaminated gravel will be disposed of at an area landfill, he said.

Such incidents have happened with other pipelines in South Dakota, and the Dakota Access leak didn’t come as a surprise, according to Walsh. The state is happy with the response of Texas-based pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners and won’t issue a fine, he said.

“Size-wise, an 84-gallon release is pretty small relative to a lot of other things we work on,” Walsh said.

senheimer’s second grade classroom at St. Malachy School and will be visiting Sharon Gardner’s third grade classroom at the end of May to pilot the project.

“Although we live in a rural community, fewer students are from the farm or have a connection to the farm and production agriculture,” said Kelsey Bailey with Creston FFA. “This activity will bring farming and agriculture industry into the classroom, as well as make children aware of where their food comes from.”

Grants can be used to fund innovative lessons, activities, classroom resources, guest speakers, outreach programs, field trips and other projects. Organizations that have agriculture education as a part of their mission or purpose were eligible to apply.

At the public meetings Alliant-IPL customers can express their views or ask questions about the electric rate increase and general quality of the utility company’s service to representatives of Alliant-IPL, to the board, and to the Office of Consumer Advocate, which represents the general interests of customers in all Board proceedings.
