Keaton Street comes out of the chute on a bull during June’s Osceola Youth Rodeo at the Clarke County Fairgrounds. Keaton, 14, has been traveling to northern Iowa and Minnesota to compete in Tuff-N-Nuff Miniature Rodeo Association events. His parents, Larry and Emmy Key, have organized a Tuff-N-Nuff Miniature Rodeo Association event being held 7 p.m. Saturday in Afton at the Union County Fairgrounds.

AFTON – A new kind of rodeo will make its way to the Union County Fairgrounds Saturday.

Tuff-N-Nuff Miniature Rodeo Association will be making its first stop in Union County, thanks to organizing efforts by Larry and Emmy Key of Creston.

Saturday’s event begins 7 p.m. at the Union County Fairgrounds. Admission is $6 for adults, $3 for children and children 5 and under get in for free.

Larry and Emmy have been traveling all over Iowa and Minnesota with their two sons, Keaton Street and Colt Key, to the miniature rodeos and wanted to expose southwest Iowa to the organization.

“We have people coming up to us all the time and

never even heard of such a thing,” Larry said. “They don’t even know it’s out there. The more you can reveal it, the more people you’re going to get into the organization.”

Tuff-N-Nuff Miniature Rodeo Association allows youth up to 19 years of age to participate in bull riding, saddle bronc and barrel racing, while also holding wild pony and wild mule races.

There are different age levels in competition, with the pee wee level going up to age 7, junior from 7 to 12, senior from 12 to 14 and super senior from 14 to 19.

“We have what we call walk-out bulls – 1- and 2-year-olds get on them.

The bulls just walk. Then you’re getting the kid not afraid of the bull,” Larry said. “It’s all age-appropriate stock. We’re not putting them on something

Blame-game begins after Senate sinks health care drive GOP leaders failed to patch party divisions and the Senate rejected a last-ditch bill to keep the effort alive. “As I said from the beginning, let ObamaCare implode, then deal. Watch!”

The “skinny repeal” bill — erasing several parts of President Barack Obama’s law — was rejected just before 2 a.m. EST on a vote of

“ANYBODY can get on a big bull and get slammed in the ground, but you don’t learn anything from it.

“Anybody can get on a big bull and get slammed in

the ground, but you don’t learn anything from it.

These young kids can get on stuff that’s appropriate for them and really learn how to ride. It’s a great program for teaching young cowboys to ride.”

Larry said his youngest son Colt, 7, tried riding steers and didn’t like it.

But Tuff-N-Nuff Miniature Rodeo Association gives him the opportunity to ride miniature bulls as opposed to steers.

“They’re easy and they get me better,” Colt said.

“They get me up to the next level and I can learn C. Key a lot of stuff with RODEO | 2A

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican finger-pointing commenced after the Senate’s dark-of-night defeat of the GOP’s flagship effort to repeal much of the Obama health care law in a startling vote that dealt a blistering blow to President Donald Trump.

“3 Republicans and 48 Democrats let the American people down,” Trump tweeted early Friday after

Union County Board of Supervisors voted for the purchase of surveying equipment for Union County Secondary Roads Department during the regularly scheduled meeting Monday at the boardroom.

Zach Gunsolley, Union County engineer, brought information to the board about purchasing the equipment to make road construction and maintenance more accurate and efficient.

“Our equipment was over 10 years old and he (Zach) was just upgrading to get more advanced equipment Riley and be able to do a better job,” said Ron Riley, Union County supervisor.

“With the GPS technology where it’s at today, it’s a one-person operation,” Gunsolley said.

The eight pieces of equipment being purchased totaled $13,436.80, and are made up of a GPS rover, Panasonic touch pad, upgrades for current GPS technology, cradle with pole clamp for the touch pad, screen protector for the touch pad, bag for the hot spot and one-day on-site training from the vendor.

The touch pad is the brains

formation is entered into it, and the hot spot will talk to a state plane-coordinate system to also verify accuracy.

The GPS rover uses global positioning system technology via satellite to mark specific places on Earth for Secondary Roads workers.

Where one worker would work at a total station and shoot a laser to a pole carried by another worker, the rover now does the work.

Also, the software updates are for current software being used by Secondary Roads that Gunsolley said is “a dinosaur from a technology perspective.”

However, he suggested purchasing the updates because the Gunsolley software is “still worth something, so it’s worth updating.” He also suggested planning ahead because he is unsure how long it will be till they need new software.

“They’ll just be more accurate and faster and, basically, I think, take less people to do a job,” Riley said said, “Where it took maybe three or four, one could actually do it with this new equipment.”

The board members unanimously voted to purchase the equipment from Transit Works of Des Moines.

Worsening drought conditions in parts of US stressing crops DES MOINES (AP) — Drought conditions worsened in several states over the past week from extreme heat and weeks with little rain, raising the prospect that grocery staples such as bread and beans could cost more as the region that produces those commodities is hardest hit.

Drought conditions have begun to stress corn, soybeans, wheat and livestock in some areas, according to the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor released Thursday by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Nearly 11 percent of the continental United States is in moderate drought or worse, said Richard Heim, a meteorologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in this week’s drought summary. The report is compiled weekly using data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and NOAA. “Much of Montana and parts of the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas had no rain this week; some areas have been drier than normal for the last two to three months; and some drought indicators reflect dryness for the last 12 months,” Heim wrote.

About half of the nation’s spring wheat, 13 percent of winter wheat, 15 percent of corn and 14 percent of the soybeans are in drought, the

report said.

Consumers could see the price of bread at the grocery counter rise, said Doug Goehring, agriculture commissioner for North Dakota, the nation’s largest producer of spring wheat and second largest grower of wheat generally after Kansas.

“There have been people in this business for five decades who have said they have never seen conditions like this,” Goehring said.

North Dakota farmers also lead the nation in production of navy beans, pinto beans and canola used for vegetable oil, and prices of those products also could be affected, Goehring said.

USDA has designated numerous counties in the three states as natural disasters, paving the way for emergency loans for producers, and governors of some states including Montana, Nebraska and North Dakota have declared some counties disasters to provide state aid.

Iowa, Oklahoma and Texas also have areas of drought with stressed crops and livestock beginning to surface.

Corn and soybean conditions in Iowa deteriorated slightly over the previous week although 68 percent of the state’s corn and 62 percent of soybeans remained in good or excellent condition, a USDA crop update released Monday said.

SWCC students learn at local sow farm Southwestern Community College (SWCC) agriculture students enrolled in the breeding and genetics course this semester experienced the swine industry first-hand with two field trips to AMVC’s sow farm, Taurus Sow, near Creston. The students got to see the entire cycle of sow production by participating in breeding and birth activities.

The course began in December before the spring semester started, when the students went to the sow farm to artificially inseminate sows with the help of AMVC employees. The focus for the first farm visit was for the students to have a hands-on experience and learn about the proper tools and breeding techniques to successfully breed a sow.

“There’s a lot of work that goes into breeding sows,” said Darin Hatfield, an agricultural business student from Creston.

Last week, the SWCC class returned to Taurus Sow to see the litters that were born from the sows they previously bred, as a sow’s average gestation length is 114 days.

“This was a great educational opportunity for us to open our barn doors and collaborate with the SWCC agriculture program. It was

rewarding to see how excited the students were to come back to the farm and see the sows with their litters,” said Amanda Winslow, AMVC sow farm manager at Taurus Sow. With the technology on the sow farm, AMVC was able to track the specific animals each student bred with their exact location in the farrowing rooms. Each student located the sows they bred and were able to see the results of their work.

During the second farm visit, the students learned about piglet care and how to assist sows giving birth.

“I thought this was a great experience, because we got to see the breeding and farrowing departments, as well as how a sow farm is run,” said Whitney Bayles, an agricultural business and livestock production student from Prescott.

AMVC is proud to be a community supporter of the SWCC agriculture program.

This is the second year that AMVC has hosted a SWCC class at their farm to help compliment the students’ coursework.

AMVC Management Services is headquartered in Audubon and manages 115,000 sows across seven states.

SENATE: CONT. FROM | 1A

51-49. All Democrats were joined by GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and the ailing John McCain. The 80-year-old Arizona senator made a dramatic return to the Capitol Tuesday after being diagnosed with brain cancer to cast a decisive procedural vote that for a time had advanced the legislation.

Following rejection of two broader GOP repeal plans earlier in the week, the early Friday vote cast doubt on whether divided Senate Republicans can advance any health bill despite seven years of promises to repeal “Obamacare.”

The measure that was defeated Friday would have repealed an Obama mandate that most people get health insurance and would have suspended a requirement that larger companies offer coverage to their employees.

It would have also suspended a tax on medical devices and denied federal payments to Planned Parenthood for a year.

“This is clearly a disappointing moment,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, said. “I regret that our efforts were not enough this time.”

“It’s time to move on,” he said. McConnell put the health bill on hold and announced that the Senate would move onto other legislation next week.

Conservative Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., who’s running for a vacant Senate seat, suggested it was time for McConnell to relinquish his post.

“If they’re going to quit, well then by golly, maybe they ought to start at the top with Mitch McConnell leaving his position and letting somebody new, somebody bold, somebody conservative take the reins,” Brooks said on CNN. He added, “How is he going to get the job done on the rest of President Trump’s agenda?”

McCain, in an impassioned speech the day he returned, had called for bipartisanship on major issues of national concern, and a return to the “regular order” of legislating by committee.

On Twitter, McCain said the repeal bill “fell short of our promise to repeal & replace Obamacare w/ meaningful reform.”

The amendment was a last resort for Senate Republicans to pass something — anything — to trigger negotiations with the House.

“It’s time to turn the page,” said Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer of New York. “We are not celebrating. We are relieved.”

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price said in a statement that the Trump administration would pursue its health care goals

“Friends You Can Depend On” Bruce Pearson, Funeral Director

through regulation. “This effort will continue,” Price said.

But insurers, hospitals, doctors, and consumer groups are pressing the administration to guarantee billions of dollars in disputed subsidies to help stabilize insurance markets around the country.

Buoyed by a signal from House Speaker Paul Ryan, McConnell had introduced a pared-down health care bill late Thursday that he hoped would keep alive Republican ambitions to repeal “Obamacare.”

The Congressional Budget Office said the measure would have increased the number of uninsured people by 16 million, the same problem that vexed all the “repeal and replace” measures Republicans have offered. Obama’s law extended coverage to some 20 million people, reducing the nation’s uninsured rate to a historic low of around 9 percent.

Still, Ryan, R-Wis., had seemingly opened a path for McConnell earlier Thursday by signaling a willingness to negotiate a more comprehensive bill with the Senate.

Some Republican senators had been concerned that the House would simply pass McConnell’s “skinny bill” and send it to Trump. That would have sent a shock wave through health insurance markets, spiking premiums.

Ryan sent senators a statement saying that if “moving forward” requires talks with the Senate, the House would be “willing” to do so. But shortly afterward, his words received varied responses from three GOP senators who’d insisted on a clear commitment from Ryan.

“Not sufficient,” said McCain.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who’d been another holdout, turned around after Ryan assured him and others in a phone conversation that the House would hold talks with the Senate.

Opponents mobilized quickly against McConnell’s trimmed-down bill.

The insurance company lobby, America’s Health Insurance Plans, wrote to Senate leaders Thursday saying that ending Obama’s requirement that people buy insurance without strengthening insurance markets would produce “higher premiums, fewer choices for consumers and fewer people covered next year.”

And a bipartisan group of governors including John Kasich of Ohio and Brian Sandoval of Nevada also announced against it. So did the American Medical Association.

Numerous polls had shown little public support for the GOP’s earlier proposals to repeal and replace Obama’s law. A recent AP-NORC poll found only 22 percent of the public backing the Republican approach, while 51 percent were opposed.

Ice cream and stroll to support breastfeeding This year, breastfeeding advocates in over 175 countries worldwide will celebrate World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) with the theme, “Sustaining Breastfeeding Together.” Locally, MATURA Action Corporation’s WIC breastfeeding peer counselors (BFPC) will kick off this week with the “Treasured Chests” ice cream social and stroll 4 p.m.

Sunday, July 30, at McKinley Park in Creston.

“We’re hosting a fun outing and get together to enjoy ice cream and walk around the bear at the park to encourage people to come together in support of breastfeeding,” said Astra Bishop, breastfeeding peer counselor coordinator with MATURA. “In addition to ice cream and a stroll, many community partners will be present with information about a variety of resources available to families in this area.”

“Representatives from Parents As Teachers, pub-

lic health, AEA, Crossroads, the LC Clinic, Zion Recovery and day care centers will be there, to name a few,” Bishop said.

“These organizations will provide information about the services they provide.

And they are showing they recognize the importance of breastfeeding and are supportive of breastfeeding.”

While most people are aware that breast milk is best for feeding babies, many are not aware of the other benefits of breastfeeding.

“Everyone knows that breastfeeding is the perfect food for babies. Breastfed babies tend to be healthier babies, have fewer illnesses and have fewer problems with obesity,” Bishop said. “Most people do not realize the benefits to mom, to the family, to the community and to the environment.”

According to Bishop, women who breastfeed burn extra calories, so pregnancy weight is lost

faster and breastfeeding has been show to lower the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Families benefit by avoiding the average cost of $7 a day ($2,555 for a year) for artificial feeding.

The community benefits with less absenteeism from work due to healthier babies from breastfeeding and breastfeeding does not waste resources or create pollution. Breast milk is a naturally-renewable resource that requires no packaging, shipping or disposal.

“While the benefits of breastfeeding are great, breastfeeding is not necessarily easy,” Bishop said. “Breastfeeding is 100 percent natural and so is labor. You don’t go into labor without help and support, a breastfeeding family needs the support of everyone to be successful. That’s why we’re holding this event, to show the multiple levels of support available to these moms.”

“Our breastfeeding peer counselor program is es-

sentially moms helping moms. These ladies are moms who have breastfed their children and know first-hand some of the difficulties, challenges and successes that are available. They are just a phone call or text away and provide great support,” Bishop said.

The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action to focus and facilitate actions to protect, promote and support breastfeeding launched world WBW 25 years ago. The local BFPC program is provided in conjunction with MATURA’s WIC program and serves residents in Adair, Adams, Clarke, Decatur, Madison, Page, Ringgold, Taylor and Union counties. WIC is a supplemental nutrition program for babies, children under the age of 5, pregnant women, breastfeeding women and postpartum women. WIC helps families by providing healthy foods, nutrition education and referrals to other health care agencies.

Low interest emergency physical loss loans available for 9 Iowa counties

Russia sanctions bill heads to Trump, Moscow retaliates WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is sending a package of stiff financial sanctions against Russia to President Donald Trump to sign after the bill received overwhelming support in Congress. Moscow has already responded, ordering a reduction in the number of U.S. diplomats in Russia and closing the U.S. embassy’s recreation retreat.

Trump’s likelihood of supporting the measure is a remarkable concession that the presiTrump dent has yet to sell his party on his hopes for forging a warmer relationship with Moscow.

Trump’s vow to extend a hand of cooperation to Russian President Vladimir Putin has been met with resistance as skeptical lawmakers look to limit the executive power’s lee-

way to go easy on Moscow over its meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

The Senate passed the bill, 98-2, two days after the House pushed the measure through by an overwhelming margin, 419-3.

Both are veto proof numbers as the White House has wavered on whether the president would sign the measure into law.

Never in doubt, however, was a cornerstone of the legislation that bars Trump from easing or waiving the additional penalties on Russia unless Congress agrees. The provisions were included to assuage concerns among lawmakers that the president’s push for better relations with Moscow might lead him to relax the penalties without first securing concessions from the Kremlin.

The legislation is aimed at punishing Moscow for interfering in the 2016 presidential election and for its military aggression in Ukraine and Syria, where the Kremlin has

backed President Bashar Assad. It also imposes financial sanctions against Iran and North Korea.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said the bill’s passage was long overdue, a jab at Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress. McCain, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, has called Putin a murderer and a thug. “Over the last eight months what price has Russia paid for attacking our elections?� McCain asked. “Very little.�

Russia’s Foreign Ministry on Friday said it is ordering the U.S. Embassy in Russia to reduce the number of its diplomats by Sept. 1. Russia will also close down the embassy’s recreational retreat on the outskirts of Moscow as well as warehouse facilities.

DES MOINES – U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Acting Administrator Chris Beyerhelm announced July 24 physical loss loans are available for nine counties in Iowa. Farm operators who have suffered major physical losses caused by excessive rain, flash flooding, flooding, hail, high winds, lightning and tornados that occurred from June 12 through June 17 may be eligible for emergency loans.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Physicals Creston students are reminded they will need to have physicals, concussion forms and emergency release forms completed prior to the first practice for the start of the fall season in sports, marching band, color guard, cheerleadering and Peppers dance team.

Students do not need a physical for camp practices that start July 31, but fall sports participants will need them starting Aug. 7. Marching band, guard, cheerleaders and Peppers will not need them until the start of school on Aug. 24.

Likewise, middle school students need those forms returned prior to participating in practices beginning Aug. 21.

Forms are available in the high school and middle school offices or on the school district website, www.crestonschools.org.

Schwarber hot CHICAGO (AP) — Kyle Schwarber got off to a terrible start this year with the Chicago Cubs. He was sent down to Triple-A Iowa last month and then recalled after a short stint in the minors.

After months of work with a couple of different hitting coaches, it looks as if he might be coming around at the plate.

Schwarber homered twice and drove in four runs, and the rolling Cubs beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3 on Thursday night for their third consecutive victory.

“It’s all paying off,” he said. “Like I said, I can’t be result-based. I want to be process-based still, and today was a good day.”

Anthony Rizzo also connected and Jon Lester pitched seven effective innings as the Cubs improved to 11-2 since the All-Star break.

The NL Central leaders also increased their advantage over the second-place Brewers to 1 1/2 games ahead of their big series this weekend in Milwaukee.

Lester (8-6) allowed two runs and four hits in his third straight win since he got just two outs in the shortest start of his career on July 9 against Pittsburgh. The starting pitchers for the Cubs are 10-0 with a 2.50 ERA in the last 13 games.

“We got a chain going,” Lester said. “We’re pitching well. We’re playing well on all aspects of the game. We’re doing everything pretty solid right now.”

Jose Abreu homered twice and Willy Garcia also went deep for the lowly White Sox, who have lost seven in a row at home for the first time since 2011 and 12 of 13 overall. Mike Pelfrey (3-8) was tagged for five runs and six hits in fiveplus innings.

New turf: A new SprinTuyrf field has been installed at the Mount Ayr Community High School football field by Mid-America Sports Construction

of Kansas City. Company officials said the Raider logo at midfield is the largest center logo it has done in installing more than 150 fields. Demolition and removal of the old field began on May 22, with construction of the base and drainage network continuing through the month of June and early July. Turf installation began on July 15 with final inspection done on the morning of July 25. Goal posts are expected to be installed in the next few days, according to Mount Ayr football coach and athletic director Delwyn Showalter. A separate project to improve the home grandstand and handicap accessible ramps is scheduled to begin in early August. The current press box and restrooms on the home side will be demolished and replaced after the football season.

HINTS FROM HELOISE A light in the darkness

HOROSCOPE For Saturday, July 29, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)Almost certainly, someone close to you will surprise you today. (You won’t see it coming.) Perhaps someone wants more freedom in the relationship?

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your work routine will be interrupted by computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages, canceled meetings - you name it. Allow extra time so that you have wiggle room to cope with this.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be extra vigilant. Similarly, social occasions may be canceled or changed.

Sporting events will have surprises.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Small appliances might break down at home today, or something unusual could occur.

Stock the fridge so that you are prepared. Food always soothes people. (Ain’t that the truth?)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a mildly accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Something unusual connected with siblings and relatives might occur.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Keep an eye on your money and cash flow today, because something unexpected might happen. You might find money, or you might lose money.

Guard your possessions so as to prevent loss or theft.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is an excitable day, which is why you feel impulsive.

Detours and surprising events might unfold one after the other. Stay light on your feet!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)You feel restless today. This makes sense, because situations around you are unpredictable. Keep your eyes open, for your own good.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might meet a real character today. Alternatively, someone you know might say or do something that amazes you. At least it’s not a boring day. Expect the unexpected.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Relationships with authority figures - bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police - will have a few surprises in store for you today. Just be ready for this in case you have to do some damage control.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Travel plans will be changed, interrupted or delayed today.

Likewise, school schedules also might change. Be ready for this.

Be careful if discussing con-

troversial subjects just in case someone overreacts. (Oops.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Double-check details regarding inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and banking. Make sure you know what’s happening, because something unexpected could affect these areas.

YOU BORN TODAY You are charming and optimistic. You are productive because you are hard-working and persevering.

Because you are in the begin-

ning of a new nine-year cycle, this is the year to clarify your goals and begin to act on them.

Hard work may be necessary in order to get a new venture moving. Fortunately, you feel physically strong this year. This is a powerful year; use it to its full advantage.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: When I travel, I take a night light with me, but I sometimes forget to pack it in my suitcase at the end of my stay and bring it home. On my last trip, I took two battery-operated, flameless TEA LIGHTS. I put one in the bathroom and one by my bed. They worked perfectly!

Enough light to see, lightweight, easy to pack, and if you forget them, they’re inexpensive enough to replace. – Dianne F., Ojai, Calif.

Dianne, as an experienced traveler, I have to say this is a great idea! I’ll use this suggestion on my next trip.

– Heloise CONTAINER CRISIS Dear Heloise: I have an overabundance of plastic containers from such things as yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. I would like to know if you have any suggestions as to what to do with them, rather than just throwing them out. I read your column every day in the Tupelo, Mississippi, Daily Journal, and love your advice.

– S.J., Houston, Miss.

S.J., I’m a firm believer in recycling! If you check online or in the yellow pages, you probably can find

recycling centers near you.

However, you might want to keep a few to store things inside or to use as containers for leftovers. Some plastic containers are great for freezing and storing one or two servings of stew, chili, soup, etc. – Heloise PREVENTING PEANUT PROBLEMS Dear Heloise: Our grandson was quite young when he was diagnosed as being allergic to peanuts/nuts, but he was old enough to understand that red traffic lights meant STOP. We took advantage of this and put foods containing nuts in red containers or red serving dishes.

This worked for us with Halloween candy, Christmas goodies and everyday snacks. – K.J., Sioux City, Iowa K.J., this is a very good idea.

(2) Have dip already in small cups, suitable for generous dipping, so all they have to do is pick up the cup and put it on their plate.

Thanks for all you do for us. – Lisa Z., The Villages, Fla. LEMON LOVE Dear Heloise: I love your advice column and read it every day. I’d like to suggest that instead of vinegar and oil as a salad dressing, try lemon and oil. It’s really very good. – Trudy L., Camarillo, Calif.

Trudy, thank you for this yummy suggestion. Lemon-and-oil salad dressing is popular in Europe, and adds a nice “zing” to the salad, as well as providing additional vitamin C. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Special decal plates available Helpful questions and answers: Does an individual have to have a decal before they purchase a decal plate?

No. Individuals can purchase decal plates whenever they wish, and they can decide when and whether they obtain a decal and place it on their plate.

What if you do not place a decal on plate? Not having a decal affixed to the plate will not invalidate the plate as long as the registration is and remains up to date.

Can an individual change decals? If so, when and how? You can change decals whenever and however you like, at your election. Much like registration stickers, you may apply a new decal over top of a prior decal or remove it prior to affixing the new decal.

Can I display a decal that is not approved? No. You may only display decals that have been approved by the Iowa DOT. Can I display a decal only on the front or back plate or display different decals on the front or back plate? A decal plate remains legal and valid regardless of whether the customer places a decal on the front only, the back only, or places different decals on the front and back, provided the registration remains up to date.

Let’s break it down: Take your current plate and registration to your local county treasurer, exchange your current plate design for decal plate for fee of $5, contact a sponsorship representative to purchase decal and affix on designated space on plate and support your local organization.

Still have questions or considering a decal plate for your organization?

Stop by or call the treasurer’s office at 641-782-1710, or email kbusch@unioncountyiowa.org.

Jan. 1, 2017, legislation became effective for HF 617, which established an alternative to new special-processed emblem plates. As a result a generic plate was created that allows a customer to display an organizational decal.

The nonprofit organizations apply directly to the Iowa DOT for permission to produce and distribute decals that a customer may display on the plate.

The county treasurer’s office will distribute the generic plate to the customer while the nonprofit organization is responsible for marketing and distributing the decal that the customer wants to display.

This legislation makes it easier and less costly to manage plate inventory. Additionally, shifting this process should make it easier for organizations to establish new plates.

Previously specialty plates required the plate sponsor to obtain 500 paid applications before the plate could be produced, which caused many plates to fail.

The new organizational decal process does not require minimum purchases or order and will make it easier for organizations to establish a sponsored plate via an approved decal.

The Creston Community School District decal was approved by the DOT July 17. The distribution of the decals will be sponsored by the Creston Activities Booster Club. Individuals may obtain a decal plate, at no charge, when they make an initial application for title and registration of a vehicle. They can also change their plate type to a decal plate at any time after a vehicle has been titled and registered for a fee of $5. Just like special emblem plates, decal plates may be personalized. The initial application fee for a personalized plate is $25, and $5 at the time of renewal.
