Since 1904, no one has represented the nine-county Judicial District 5B as president of the Iowa State Bar Association – until now.

Creston native Arnold “Skip” Kenyon was recently appointed president.

Skip becomes the first person in more than a century from District 5B to reign as president and the first person ever from Union County to hold the honor.

With renovations to Pole Road completed, the next county project on the list is Osage Street. However, plans for the project are still being written.

“We’re probably just going to do a little bit (of Osage Street) at a time,” said Steve Akes, Union County engineer. “We may not get it all done this year.”

The road, which hasn’t been rejuvenated in 20 years, will be narrowed and reshaped to prevent water pooling. The ditches will be cleaned up, which will also

in June, becoming the first person from Judicial District 5B in more than a century and the first person from Union County to hold the honor.

Work on the road in the past 20 years mostly consisted of laying rock, but grading the road can cost tens of thousands of dollars and has been avoided. Heavy travel on the road is one of the reasons for its current condition, as well as weather.

“Those highly traveled roads, yeah, they are pretty bad,” said Ron Riley, Union County Supervisors board president. “Part of the reason, too, is because that road is too wide. That road is, in places, 30 to 31 feet wide, and ideally they should be 24 to 26 feet wide.”

INSIDE Deaths

Kae Johnston Creston

Kae M. Johnston, 76, of Creston died Thursday, Aug. 18, 2016, at Greater Regional Hospice Home – Johnston HCI in Creston.

Celebration of life services will be 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 22, at Crest Baptist Church, 1211 N. Poplar St., in Creston. The Rev. Chuck Spindler will officiate. Burial will be in Graceland Cemetery, south of Creston. Open visitation will be from 1 to 6 p.m.

Sunday with family present from 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday at Powers Funeral Home, junction of highways 34 and 25, in Creston. Memorials may be given to the Crest Baptist Church mission fund. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Kae Marlene Johnston, daughter of Roman and Mary Bjorgo, and raised by grandparents, David E. and Rosa M. Anderson, was born June 22, 1940, in Iowa City.

She graduated from Charles City High School in 1957.

She went on to study at Mason City Business College.

Kae then worked as a stenographer with the State of Iowa auditor’s office.

On Aug. 7, 1962, Kae married Max Johnston in Des Moines. They first lived in the Des Moines area. In 1964, they moved to Bedford, and then to rural Williamson in 1966, where together they farmed and operated Johnston Metals. Kae was a homemaker, active farmwife and bookkeeper for their businesses. Kae also worked for the Iowa State Extension Service in Greenfield. They farmed from 1964 to 1981.

Kae earned her credentials to work as a nursing home administrator. They moved to Creston in 1981, where Kae worked as the administrator for Crest Haven Care Centre in Creston.

Kae was a member of Crest Baptist Church in Creston and she taught Sunday school classes over the years.

Kae is survived by her husband Max Johnston of Creston; sons, Michael (Nikki) Johnston of Montrose, Colorado, Kevin (Connie) Johnston of Simpsonville, South Carolina, and Stephen (Suzanne) Johnston of Creston; daughter Cynthia (Chuck) Thomas of New Market and grandchildren, Sophia DeJulio, Dane, Marissa and Emma Johnston, Hannah, Ellie and Paul Johnston, Kirstie and Corbin Thomas.

Kae was preceded in death by her parents, Roman and Mary Bjorgo and sister Marilyn Zimmer.

Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort resigns WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort resigned on Friday in the wake of campaign shake-up and revelations about his work in Ukraine.

In a statement issued as he arrived in Louisiana to tour the flood-ravaged state, Trump said Manafort offered his resignation Friday morning. The billionaire called Manafort “a true professional.”

“I am very appreciative for his great work in helping to get us where we are today, and in particular his work guiding us through the delegate and convention process,” Trump said.

Manafort’s resignation comes a day after The Associated Press reported that confidential emails from Manafort’s firm contradicted his claims that he had never lobbied on behalf of Ukrainian political figures in the U.S. Trump’s son, Eric Trump, told Fox News in an interview that will air Sunday that his father worried questions about Manafort’s past were taking attention away from the billionaire’s presidential bid.

“I think my father didn’t want to be, you know, distracted by whatever things Paul was dealing with,” Eric Trump said.

Emails between Manafort’s deputy, Rick Gates, also a top Trump adviser, and the lobbying firm Mercury LLC showed that Manafort’s firm, DMP International LLC, directly orchestrated a covert Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraine’s then-ruling political party.

The effort included not just legislative outreach but also attempts to sway American public opinion and gather political intelligence on competing lobbying efforts in the U.S. The emails obtained by the AP do not describe details about the role of Manafort, Gates’ boss at the firm. But current and former employees

at Mercury and a second lobbying firm, the Podesta Group, some of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because they are subject to non-disclosure agreements, told the AP that Manafort oversaw the lobbying efforts and spoke by phone about them.

Manafort and Gates never registered as foreign agents for their work as required under federal law.

Under the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act, people who lobby on behalf of foreign political figures or political parties must provide detailed reports about their actions to the Justice Department’s counterespionage unit.

A violation is a felony and can result in up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

Also Friday, Ukrainian anti-corruption investigators released copies of handwritten ledgers detailing possible cash payments from Ukrainian political figures to Manafort totaling more than $12 million.

Details of the payments described in the ledger were first reported by The New York Times. Manafort denies receiving those payments.

Earlier this week, Trump brought in a new campaign chief executive and campaign manager following a disastrous stretch in which the New Yorker committed a series of errors and fell behind Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in both national and battleground state preference polls.

The new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, had described Manafort and Gates as part of a new “core four” atop the Trump operation with her and CEO Stephen Bannon. But Manafort’s role in the campaign had been significantly marginalized under the new leadership structure announced Wednesday.

Neither Manafort nor Gates were taking a paycheck from the Trump campaign as of June 30.

and Wayne counties.

“That’s part of the reason I did it,” Skip said. “I served on the Board of Governors for six years.

As I was going off, I thought I liked it; I enjoyed working with the board and r e a l i z e d S. Kenyon we hadn’t had anyone from District 5B for quite a long time and never had anybody from Union County before. I thought maybe it’s time we have some good representation out of this area.”

The Iowa State Bar Association is a voluntary organization that represents the 8,000plus attorneys in the state of Iowa.

The organization works to help attorneys make their jobs easier and more efficient, while also working together with legislature to ensure newly passed laws are fair and appropriate.

Skip has practiced law in the Creston area for more than 35 years and has done a little bit of everything in the law field.

“I’ve had quite a practice

The cost to rehabilitate the road is in the $40,000 range, according to Akes. Also, Akes said paving may not be an option because of the high cost to make the road a solid, smooth surface. This is because of the bonding involved, which could put the county in more debt than it already is.

“We’re probably going to go in (to start the project) as early as next week,” Akes said. “We’re probably going to do a piece of it. We’re just not sure if we’re going to do the whole three miles (now).”

Construction on the road may be split into sections because of the weather, as well as harvest season approaching. Akes and Riley agreed they didn’t want construction blocking the road for farmers.

Splitting the road into pieces, Akes said, won’t increase the cost, though.

Infrastructure During a supervisors meeting held Monday, several people attended to express their concerns for Osage Street. This isn’t the first time in the past several months Union County citizens have spoken with the board members about the county infrastructure.

“Obviously our gravel roads maybe aren’t in the shape we want them. We went through a tough winter and a tough spring and a fairly wet summer, so the roads aren’t what we currently want,” Riley said. “It is our job to make the roads better and as good as they can be.”

During regular meetings, the supervisors discuss with

because I started out as county attorney. I’ve done defense work. I’ve done a lot of litigation work. I’ve done mediation work. I’ve done probate work,” Skip said. “So, I kind of feel like I can identify with a lot of different types of attorneys across the state with the practices they have.”

Brother Tim Kenyon, who is the current county attorney, said that kind of versatility is not common in today’s law landscape.

“In today’s legal world, the majority of attorneys ... the scope of their practice is usually somewhat narrower,” Tim said. “It’s a little like the medical profession. He (Skip) has handled significant items in probably every major area of the law at one point or another in his career.”

Skip, who was appointed as president of the Iowa State Bar Association in June after serving six years on the Board of Governors and then serving as vice president and president-elect, will serve a one-year term.

His theme for the year is: “professionalism, collegiality and camaraderie.”

“I’m trying to promote that because our current (electronic filing) system, it works great and we get things done a lot faster, but one of the end results is we have a lot less contact, because you can do everything from sitting in your office.”

Skip wants to emphasize the human element of practicing law and promote making contacts across the state.

He is looking forward to the September meeting, which is always held in the president’s hometown and will bring the approximately 45 attorneys on the Board of Governors to Creston.

Practicing law has become a family business for the Kenyons.

Family patriarch Arnold O. Kenyon II began the tradition. Brothers Skip, Tim and Greg all followed in Arnold’s steps as attorneys.

Greg is a partner at Bradshaw Law Firm in Des Moines, specializing in probate and elder-planning law.

Skip’s daughter, Angela Kenyon Davis, and niece, Elizabeth Lee, also practice law.

“The Kenyon name is pretty well known around the state,” Skip said. “It gets pretty good recognition right away when I go to do stuff, because they know the family name. (My family has) been really supportive, as well.”

It’s been a proud appointment for all members of the Kenyon family.

“Skip has always presented himself and represented the practice of law in a very professional manner,” Tim said. “I feel like it’s an honor for him, and it’s a good thing for the profession for other attorneys to realize there are folks out there who still believe in the gentlemanly art of the T. Kenyon practice of law. It is not a matter of going in and making a scene or a theatrical presentation to the court.

It’s about research, preparation, analysis, thinking and communicating. Those are things Skip has demonstrated over the years of his practice.

I think he’ll be an excellent president.”

“It’s quite an honor,” Skip said. “I’m really enjoying it and it’s quite an opportunity.

I get a chance to work with some great people and do some really neat things.”

Akes regular maintenance throughout the county, which usually includes mowing ditches, laying patch rock and grading roads. However, in order to renovate roads, the costs would be much greater.

The same goes for bridges and culverts. Currently, Akes said there are about 4,000 culverts throughout the county in need of repairs. And, the one bridge project scheduled for next spring is a bridge replacement along Primrose Avenue, which will cost about $500,000.

“We’re never caught up.

We have way more to do than we’ll ever have money to do,” Akes said. “Back in the day, when all the roads got built, they had a lot of money to do a lot. But, the money’s not there to do that. They probably overbuilt the system a little bit.”

Riley said several things may be done in order to update the county infrastructure, such as “maintaining a better crown in the roads,

continuing to do more road restoration projects and figuring out a way to increase the rock budget.”

“This isn’t unique to Union County. You go to the supervisors and engineer in Ringgold County and others and they’re fighting the same thing,” R i l e y said. “We know the Riley r o a d s could be in better condition and will continue to improve them.”

Here is a list of roads on the Union County secondary roads five-year construction plan. This is an unofficial plan put in place in order to update the county infrastructure. The roads are listed from highest priority to lowest.

• Old Highway 34 overlay, on Old Highway 34,

FY2017, cost $380,000 • Creamery Road, from REA Road to Highway 34, FY2017, cost $1,586,000 • Dogwood Avenue rehabilitation, from 170th Street to Highway 25, FY2018, cost $90,000 • 170th Street rehabilitation, phase one, from Dogwood to Cottonwood avenues, FY2018, cost $140,000 • REA Road, from Redwood Avenue to the city of Lorimor, FY2019, cost $1,300,000 • Dogwood Avenue rehabilitation, phase two, from 170th Street to Highway 25, FY2019, cost $634,000 • 170th Street rehabilitation, phase two, from Dogwood to Cottonwood avenues, FY2019, cost $582,000 • REA Road reconstruction, from Redwood Avenue to the city of Lorimor, FY2021, cost $3,215,000 • REA Road whitetopping, from Creamery Road to Redwood Avenue, FY2021, cost $1,190,000

Be a D.E.A.R. and read!

Dear Parents of Schoolchildren: Now that school is underway in most parts of the country, consider practicing D.E.A.R. time (DROP EVERYTHING AND READ) with children at home. Reading, especially at home with children, is a vital component of students progressing in their learning skills. Try to establish a family reading time, even if it’s only 10-20 minutes. Check out the official website: www.dropeverythingandread.com.

This site may just encourage and inspire you to establish fun reading times and activities at home with your children. You’ll find multiple tabs to consider.

One tab gives you book titles to use as read-alouds.

Another gives you FREE resources to use with your children to promote reading comprehension and creativity. Check out the site. You and your children will be glad you did. -- Heloise P.S.: Children who can’t read well by third grade may have great difficulty later on in school, especially with history, English, spelling and other courses where reading is imperative to understanding the subject.

I did not read well as a child, and it hampered me.

Now I love reading!

Hints from Heloise HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com SMART CRUISING Dear Readers: If you’re thinking about taking a cruise and plan to take an electronic device, check into the pricing for internet use BEFORE you go!

On average, cruises charge 75 cents per minute, but the rate is better when you buy “blocks of time.”

For instance, 100 minutes could cost $55, which equals 55 cents per minute. Once purchased, consider these hints for wise use of your purchased minutes: 1. Use the internet early or late, when fewer people are using it.

2. Don’t dawdle surfing around! Know what you want before logging on.

3. Internet on ships is pretty slow, which results in using up minutes fast.

4. Save noncritical

emails and use the Wi-Fi available at the ports.

-- Heloise P.S.: Cruising can really be fun, and these are hints that can save you money.

SOCK CAST Dear Heloise: After a recent fall that caused injury to my arm, it was placed in a soft cast and wrapped with an elastic bandage.

That night, in bed, the bandage unraveled, loosening the support for my arm.

My solution was to take a clean tube sock, cut off the toe part and place it over the cast and bandage. It secured the support and didn’t come off in the middle of the night.

A bonus was that the tube sock kept the cast clean.

When they put on a hard cast, I did the same, and it’s amazing how clean the cast was when it was cut off. -- BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker J.W., via email

PLASTIC HAIRSPRAY CAPS EQUAL QUICK THIMBLE Dear Heloise: Here’s a hint to pass on to seamstresses: I save plastic caps off hair-spray bottles. I use them as thimbles whenever I can’t seem to locate my real one. I take them with me to quilt gatherings. There’s always someone who forgets to bring a thimble! -- Rachel V. in Kentucky (c)2016 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

Horoscope For Saturday, Aug. 20, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a loosey-goosey day. It’s a poor day for major purchases and important decisions. (It’s OK to buy food and gas.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) If you can hunker down at home today, you will enjoy yourself, because you need to cocoon right now. This is a creative day for you, especially if you work in the arts.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re eager to communicate with others now; however, tension with partners and close friends is likely. This tension will be gone by the end of September.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Be careful, because you are focused on money right now and probably considering a major purchase. Today is a poor day for a major purchase.

Wait until tomorrow.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You have a few more days with the Sun in your sign giving you a chance to re-energize yourself. People and favorable situations are attracted to you. Make the most of this.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Although this is a good time to buy wardrobe items for yourself, today is not the day. Wait until tomorrow; you will be glad you did.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) In one way, you are keen to socialize, and you are out there flying your colors. However, a different influence makes you want to hide and be low-key. At least you have a choice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a great day to schmooze with others. Keep things lighthearted and avoid important decisions. Don’t volunteer for anything.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Travel, education and publishing are on your mind now. However, this is a poor day to make a decision regarding these matters.

Nevertheless, it’s a lighthearted, creative day for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will enjoy talking to people from different cultures and different backgrounds, because you want to learn something new. It’s easy to be open-minded today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It’s good to know that you can benefit from the wealth

and resources of others at this time. Today, however, is a poor day for important decisions, especially about a commitment.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Relations with partners and close friends are unusually warm and cozy now. Don’t hesitate to tell others how much you care. Don’t leave it to their imagination.

YOU BORN TODAY You are generous, diplomatic, outgoing and work well with others. You are a great organizer

and enjoy good times. Initially, this year begins quietly, which is why you might not see major changes until next year; however, it will be a year of growth and building. Work to reduce your debt and strengthen your financial position, because you are building for your future!

Bolt takes Olympic 200

VOLLEYBALL SCRIMMAGE

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Usain Bolt tilted his head backward and screamed. He plaintively raised his palms to the sky, tugged hard on his shirt, then angrily ripped the No. 6 sticker off his right hip.

It had the look of an unthinkable loss in the Olympic 200 meters.

But there’s only one opponent that can really beat Bolt: Time.

The Jamaican superstar romped in what he says is likely his last Olympic individual race Thursday night, but finished in 19.78 seconds, .59 short of his own world record — the one he said he really wanted to break.

“I’m always happy for the win,” said Bolt, who turns 30 on Sunday, in a post-race interview with NBC. “But I wanted a faster time.”

Hard to argue with a win, though, and Bolt has Olympic gold medal No. 8, and a third straight 200 title to go with the same trifecta in the 100. His run for gold No. 9 comes Friday in the 4x100 CNA photo by RYAN KRONBERG relays.

Creston sophomore Taylor Buxton takes aim for a kill during the volleyball team’s scrimAll good stuff. But that mage Thursday evening in the Creston High School gym. expression as he crossed the finish line told the real story.

Bolt was leading before the legs on his 6-foot-5 frame had even powered him through the first curve. The field chased him through a thin mist that started about 30 minutes before the race.

Andre de Grasse of Canada finished .24 behind and Christophe Lemaitre of France squeaked out bronze by .003 over Adam Gemili of Britain. You could’ve driven a truck through the gap between first and second place.

When Bureaucrats Choose… Medicare Patients Lose.

Tell Congressman David Young to Continue His Fight to Protect Your Medicare Stop Harmful Medicare Experiment Congressman Young is working to stop imminent harmful changes to Medicare Part B that threaten access to doctors’ services and outpatient care. Passage of H.R. 5122 will block implementation of this experimental policy, saving seniors from cuts to their Medicare benefits.

Prevent Bureaucrats from Cutting Your Medicare The Independent Payment Advisory Board is a panel of unaccountable bureaucrats that may soon control your Medicare benefits. H.R. 1190, the Protecting Seniors’ Access to Medicare Act, blocks these bureaucrats from dictating your care. We need Congressman Young’s continued support to repeal this bureaucratic board, keeping Congress in control of Medicare spending. As Congress finishes its legislative work, we need to encourage final action to stop these threats to Medicare.

Call Congressman David Young at 1-800-756-6191.

Maroulis claim’s United States first gold in women’s wrestling

CROSS COUNTRY PREVIEW

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — It took a moment for Helen Maroulis’ accomplishment to sink in.

The American defeated Japan’s Saori Yoshida 4-1 in the 53-kilogram freestyle final to win the first-ever gold medal for a United States women’s wrestler and derail Yoshida’s quest for a fourth straight gold. It evoked memories of American Greco-Roman wrestler Rulon Gardner’s victory over three-time gold medalist Aleksandr Karelin at the 2000 Olympics.

Maroulis celebrated Thursday’s win by leaping into coach Valentin Kalika’s arms, then running around the mat in a circle and gripping the United States flag with both hands while it was draped over her back. “At the end of it, I was like, ‘Really, I just did this?� she said. “Like, oh my gosh!’�

Yoshida was trying to be-

come the second woman to ever win four Olympic gold medals in a single event Maroulis across four Summer Games, and the second wrestler to win four Olympic golds. Yoshida’s teammate, Kaori Icho, accomplished the feats Wednesday by winning the 58 kilogram gold. Yoshida hadn’t lost in a major tournament in years, but she had been less dominant in recent tournaments, and Maroulis was on a two-year win streak of her own. “It’s an honor to wrestle Yoshida,� Maroulis said.

Yoshida made no excuses after the match when asked why she lost. “Just that the opponent is stronger than me,� she said.

Iowa’s sunflower fields will be busy places over the next few weeks as doves begin to gather for migration and rows of sunflowers get mowed in preparation for the opening of dove hunting season.

Iowa’s dove hunting season begins Sept. 1. A list of wildlife areas that have one or more managed dove plots on them is available online at www.iowadnr.gov/doves.

Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife research biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, said hunters should scout those areas ahead of time to learn how many doves are using the area and their flight patterns, and check if the area requires non toxic shot.

“Dove hunting has a social aspect to it and usually has a lot of action which makes it a great opportunity to include kids or novice hunters with the group,” Bogenschutz said. “When hunters are finished for the day, we would like to see them leave the area better than they found it by picking up all their shells and any other trash they find.

We want to set a good example of taking care of our natural areas.”

The set up is pretty simple – bring a bucket, lots of shells, set up where doves are feeding or flying through and sit still. Doves will be active early and late in the day.

“Hilltops, wide open areas, areas with small grains

Iowa’s rabbit season opens Sept. 3

Iowa’s cottontail rabbit season opens Sept. 3.

Cottontails can be found in every county but higher populations are found in southeast and south central Iowa.

Rabbit hunting is most commonly done with a .22 rifle or shotgun in areas with shrubs, brush piles or field edges. Most of the hunting takes place later in the fall and winter.

Shooting hours are sunrise to sunset. The daily bag limit is 10 cottontail rabbits, with a possession limit of 20. Rabbit season closes on Feb. 28, 2017.

Rabbit numbers are included with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources August roadside survey that will be released in early September at www. iowadnr.gov/pheasantsurvey.

Squirrel season begins Sept. 3

Squirrel hunters should expect to find an average to above average squirrel population over most of the state, with higher squirrel numbers in areas with higher acorn production. SquirT:5.125”

rel season opens Sept. 3.

Fox squirrels can be found anywhere there are a few acres of trees, but gray squirrels are generally limited to the heavily forested areas in eastern and southern Iowa.

Hunting opportunities for squirrels are excellent because hunting pressure is low. Because of the lack of competition, squirrel hunting is a good way to introduce novice hunters and youth to the outdoors.

“If you spook a squirrel or mess up something, there’s probably another squirrel over the next hill. Young hunters can learn and fail which is how many of us learned our woodsmanship skills – without the pressure of a short season or competition from other hunters,” said Jim Coffey, forest wildlife technician with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Squirrel hunting is done by either sitting-and-waiting, or by still-hunting.

The sit-and-wait technique is similar to turkey hunting. Hunters will sit near likely feeding areas, such as beneath oak, walnut, or hickory trees or along corn-forest edges and many will call them. Plan to wear plenty of camouflage and consider a face net to avoid bugs.

The still-hunting technique is employed by slowly walking through forested areas and stopping frequently to watch for feeding squirrels, then sneaking up on them. The best hunting times usually are during the morning and afternoon feeding hours. Squirrel season runs through January 31, 2017. The daily bag limit is 6 (fox and gray squirrels combined) and the possession limit is 12. There are no restrictions on shooting hours.

like winter wheat, millet, oats, milo, or the pasture ground around watering ponds, silage fields or weedy areas are attractive to doves too,” Bogenschutz said.

“And try to blend in to the background.”

Shooting hours are one half hour before sunrise to sunset. The daily bag limit is 15 doves with a possession limit of 45. Hunters are required to have registered with the harvest information program (HIP) before hunting migratory game birds.

An estimated 11,400 hunters harvested 117,000 doves in 2015.

Boaters heading out for the Labor Day holiday will likely find busy waterways across the state.

Susan Stocker, boating law administrator and education coordinator for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, said boat operators need to operate with caution and to watch for hazards in the water.

The weekend weather forecast is favorable for boaters and combined with a three day weekend should produce heavy boat traffic.

Stocker said ramps will likely be busy, placing boating etiquette at a premium.

“Everyone is excited to get on the water,” she said.

“Be patient, and when it’s your turn be ready to launch. Courtesy on the water goes a long way in avoiding problems.”

She said an obvious way to prevent problems is for boat operators to avoid alcohol while operating the craft.

“We want boaters to have fun on the water, but we don’t want that fun to end in a boating tragedy. Boaters need to keep safety in mind while on the water,” Stocker said.

Preparing for a safe day on the water begins in the driveway. Make sure to have a properly fitting life jacket for each person on board and that all of the safety equipment, including a properly working fire extinguisher, is on board.

“Remember, life jackets only work when worn,” Stocker said.

“Life jackets float, you don’t.”

insurance companies will offer a discount on boat insurance.

Top two safety violations in Iowa are having inadequate life jackets and operating too fast and too close to other vessels.
