Creston Schools to improve fluency after test results

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

Creston kindergarten through fifth-grade students fell short of the benchmark for fluency during a Formative Assessment System for Teachers (FAST) screening, Creston second- through fifth-grade Principal Scott Driskell reported at Monday’s Creston Community Schools Board of Education meeting.

FAST is the system used by many schools in Iowa to meet the Department of Education’s Early Literacy Legislation.

FAST assessments are given three times each year

– in the fall, winter and spring – so educators can track children’s growth and progression with fluency.

“Each time you take it, the benchmark changes,” Driskell said. “Starting in the fall, they’ll have a certain wordsper-minute expectation and it increasDriskell es in the winter and the spring. The thought is as kids go through the year, their learning is going to improve and so should their fluency.”

In the last screening period for the 2015-16 school year, 56.46 percent of Creston students who took the assessment met the benchmark for fluency.

That fell short of the cutoff for the targeted area, which was 60 to 79 percent, leaving CCSD in the intensive category.

Because CCSD is in the intensive category, a site visit has been scheduled to help educators identify ways in which they can help students improve in this area.

“The way I understand it now is it’s really going to be a collaborative process to sit down with us and see if there’s anything we need to add or change in an ef-

fort to improve our student results,” Driskell said. “This new system seems like it’s going to be working with us and the state to better improve who we are as a school.”

Some concerns were raised among board members because the FAST system places so much emphasis on fluency and so little emphasis on reading comprehension.

“Are teachers doing another step along with that in terms of making sure (students) are understanding what they’re reading?”

Board Member Sharon Snodgrass asked. “I saw a lot of SCHOOLS | 2A

A proposal from Eric Green of Creston regarding connecting his home on 170th Street to the sanitary sewer extension along West Adams Street was approved with a vote of 5-2 during the Creston City Council meeting Tuesday.

“Initially, what got it started was (my wife and I) were planning our home and we looked at geothermal, ground-source heat,” said Green, new attorney with Kenyon & Nielsen PC in Creston.

“I looked at the regulations and I had to have so much Green distance between on-site sewer treatment systems, and I could not sit my house on the lot and get the distance I needed from my neighbors’ sewer system to put in the wells.”

Green first brought a proposal to Creston City Council in July.

“I visited with Kevin (Kruse) and asked if they

would entertain the idea of allowing me to run the service to my house into the city system mainly for environmental reasons,” Green said.

The council voted against the proposal at first, but after Green came up with a more efficient plan and returned to the council this week, the plan was approved. Two council members voted no: Rich Madison on ward 2 and Steve Wintermute, at-large representative.

Green and his wife, Elizabeth, will foot the bill for the project, estimated to cost $18,000.

The plan “Last time we talked, there were a lot of unknowns,” Green said during the Tuesday meeting. “I think we talked about a project that was way bigger than maybe what the city and that area out there is ready for. ... But, we came up with what we think is a better option – just a single service from my house.”

Flag dedication to be held before SWCC vs.

Marshalltown volleyball game

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

Southwestern Community College has received an 18-foot-long American flag that will be dedicated during a ceremony prior to the SWCC volleyball game against Marshalltown Monday.

“When it comes down, it’s all but t h r e e , m a y b e four foot from the Lesan

floor,” said Tom Lesan, SWCC vice president of economic development.

“We’re putting it over by the west basket(ball hoop).

It’s huge and really impressive.”

The South Central Iowa Community Foundation (SCICF) board donated the flag to the college, and representatives from the board will be present for the ceremony, which begins at 6:45 p.m. Monday in the SWCC student center gymnasium.

SCICF gifted the flag and a rolling flag box to SWCC FLAG | 2A

INSIDE Deaths

Jerry Russell Prescott

Jerry A. Russell, 78, of Prescott died suddenly in a farming accident at his home in Prescott on Sept. 21, 2016. Jerry, son of Clarence and M a r j o r i e Hoskinson Russell, was b o r n M a r c h Russell 8, 1938, at the family home in Adams County. He graduated from Corning High School in 1955 and began farming while still in high school.

In 1957, he and Sharon Amdor were married and started farming east of Corning, and continued to farm in Adams, Taylor and Union counties until his death. He was especially proud to be named the Iowa Master Corn Grower in the contour division in 1968 and 1969, and to earn his pilot’s license to fly.

Jerry had many special interests and hobbies over the years including stock car racing, flying, tractor pulling, snowmobiling and traveling. He worked hard and played harder.

Jerry was known for his infectious smile. He was a leader, an innovator and mentor. He never knew a stranger and was well known for sharing his life experiences through his storytelling.

Wherever he went, there was bound to be a crowd gathered to listen, especially on the antique tractor rides he loved to participate in with his friends and family.

Jerry would say his greatest accomplishment

as part of its project of donating flags to a number of high schools spanning Union, Ringgold, Clarke, Decatur and Lucas counties. “It’s a proactive grant we have done in five of our counties at the high schools, and we wanted to include SWCC, also,� said Stacy Stephens, SCICF program administrative assistant. “We had seen it in another town in Albia and one of our board members had went there and said, ‘Wow that’s cool, we should do that.’ So, the executive board decided to

When the grandchildren turned 11, they were taken on a solo trip of their choice where they made their own unique memories with Grandpa and Grandma.

Jerry is survived by his wife of 59 years, Sharon; three children, Julie (Jerry) Reed of Lenox, Barbie Burnett of Newton and Robbie Russell (Julie) of Prescott; nine grandchildren, Jason (Alicia) Reed, Jenn (Seth) Evans, Josh (Jessi) Reed and Jordan Reed, all of Lenox, Will (Heather) Burnett of Waukee, Sam Burnett of Ames, JaLynne (Ben) Schmaling of Prescott, Keaton (Paige) Lundquist of Tarkio, Missouri, and Gracie Russell of Ames; 11 great-grandchildren, Parker, Zoey, Jack, Reese, Dawson, Dani, Tenley, Marshall, Briar, Cohen and Grayson; as well as brothers- and sistersin-law and nieces and nephews.

In lieu of visitation and funeral services, the family would like to invite you to a celebration of Jerry’s life from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25, at the community center in Lenox. No flowers please, memorials will be accepted in Jerry’s name to be determined at a later date. Pearson Family Funeral Service, 701 Seventh St., in Corning is in charge of the arrangements.

During the pre-game ceremony, SWCC President Barb Crittenden will speak, a photo will be taken, and then the flag, mounted from the gym ceiling, will be lowered using a remote control and the national anthem will be sung. “The flag, when lowered, is 18 feet long, so it makes quite an impress i o n , � said Terri Higgins, SWCC director of marketing and en- Higgins rollment management.

CITY: CONT. FROM | 1A

city employees to come up with a new plan because the first plan had council members concerned about the size of the project and boring under Cottonwood Road.

The new plan is to install a single, 4-inch service line connecting the Greens’ house to the sewer main east of Cottonwood Road. The Greens will own the line and restrict it to their private use.

The service line will run along the south side of Adams and 170th streets from the Greens’ house until it crosses Adams Street to tie into the 8-inch main. The service line will be 6 inches under Adams Street, per the city’s request. This eliminates the need to both bore under Cottonwood Road and tie directly into a manhole at that location.

The entire project will be bored, except for the pits needed to pull and push pipe. This means minimal disturbance to city and county rights-of-way, Green said.

Since the Greens’ residence is served with city water, billing can be tied to water usage just as it is for other residential users, Green said. Along with a monthly rate, Green proposed a one-time hookup fee of $1,000 to connect to the city’s eight-inch main. “I know we were talking a little bit more (money) last time when I was talking about cutting into the man-

kids who could call words wonderfully but did not understand what they read.�

But, Driskell said there are positives to the FAST system. “I think the plus with it is we’re trying to get to the core of what our kids are struggling with and that’s the automaticity and fluency and accuracy with which they read,� he said. “If we can improve that, then the thought is comprehension should follow along.�

The FAST system will also affect summer school this year. As part of the Early Literacy Legislation, any third-grader who is not proficient or meeting the benchmarks of the FAST assessment will be required to attend summer school during summer 2017. “It’s just third-graders who are required to attend summer school,� Driskell said. “If they turn it down or decline it, they’re automatically retained. If they agree and miss a bunch, they’re also retained. They have to attend summer school 85

hole,� Green said. “I figure $1,000 seems like a fair connection fee ... hooking into just the 8-inch line versus punching into the manhole.�

After Green talked to Union County Engineer Steve Akes, his only major concern was putting the right-of-way back the way it was before. “I said, ‘No problem because a large part of it’s my yard,’� Green said.

Reactions “Part of my concern (is) ... here, you and others may want city services but you aren’t willing to pay what o t h e r Madison property owners in the city limits have to pay,�

Madison said.

Green said he understood Madison’s concern but mentioned he and his wife do own commercial property in town. “(With) my 40-unit self storage facility ... we pay about $5,400 a year in taxes that way. They don’t use a whole lot of sewer, but we gladly pay that,� Green said. “We’re going to be here a long time doing business.

Not that that is the same as building a house in city limits, but I would ask you to take that into a little bit of consideration that we do pay some taxes.�

Wintermute said he is worried about more people a few months from now wanting to do the same thing. Kruse said additional percent of the dates.�

Superintendent’s report Also during Monday’s board meeting, CCSD Superintendent Steve McDermott updated the board on both bus inspections and the ongoing security upgrades.

According to McDermott, the security upgrades are moving quickly and are ahead of schedule.

Parts have been ordered for the exterior doors and key fobs, with installation planned for October. Camera servers have been ordered and constructed. The new phone system is in already and is awaiting installation. “All of these items are moving much quicker than we anticipated,� McDermott said. “We’re v e r y pleased with that.

McDermott reported during a bus inspection last week, six buses received 30day citings for various issues such as a cracked tailpipe, broken dash light or low tire-pressure sensor.

Three buses were pulled out of service – one for plywood back on a seat that was broken, one needing a new brake shoe and one needing a new fuse. “All of those things have been repaired already,� he said. “So we have a clean fleet at this point. That’s a much better report than what we had received last year.�

New president During the board’s organizational meeting for the 2016-17 school year, Brad James was

elected president of the school board.

Board Member Galen Zumbach moved to nominate James for the position, with Snodgrass seconding the motion. James was appointed president by a 4-0 vote, abstaining from the vote himself.

D o n Gee was elected vice president of the board by a 4-0 vote, with Gee ab- Gee staining from the vote.

ENTERTAINMENT

Video chatting with your children Dear Heloise: Here’s an ELECTRONIC HINT that I think the younger generation could benefit from and the older generation should get better at. I’ve learned to video chat with my children, and while it’s a great way to talk to them when they live out of state, it’s also a handy tool for “on the spot” teaching.

My daughter had a laundry-setting question, and after showing me her settings with her computer, I was able to guide her through the proper procedures needed to wash the garments in question.

Another time, she wanted to make Spanish rice, and browning the rice correctly is the key. Because of video chatting, I was able to be in her kitchen and help her with the process.

If I can’t be with her, this is the next best thing! – Lila G. in Wisconsin

ANOTHER CONTAINER WORTH REPURPOSING Dear Heloise: I’m a great repurposer of many containers that food and products come in. Recently, my son purchased a plastic container filled with sugar-free powdered-drink packets.

Once empty, the label is easy to remove – no soaking needed – and the lid snapped shut rather nicely. There’s so much potential for this nice little container that I have begun to save them instead of recycling.

Do you have any other suggestions for these now that the holidays are almost upon us? Any hints would be greatly appreciated! – Darla, via email I’m familiar with these containers, and you’re right – they’re just too good not to repurpose. Consider decorating one and turning it BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker into a small piggy bank. Or fill with candy, a nice letter, other kinds of “drinking” packets or even small office/ desk items and give as gifts. – Heloise LOANING BOOKS Dear Heloise: My business card is loosely attached to the inside cover of books I loan. I always get my books back. If I decide to recycle a book, I simply cut my card from the cover. – Diana in New Mexico (c)2016 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

Hints from Heloise letries in each room. Since I bring my own makeup remover, I use the sheets to clean and refresh my feet at night after a day in flip-flops or sandals. It both cleans and moisturizes, and allows me to save the few washcloths provided for showering the next morning. – Marla E., Galloway, Ohio PROTECTING POTS AND PANS Dear Heloise: Here’s a weekend project that’s great for protecting pots and pans: Take one cupboard and remove the middle shelf.

Hang a rod down 2 inches with a series of large shower-curtain hooks on the rod.

Skillets hang down from the rod, and by keeping the smaller skillets at one end, you can place deep pots under them. A paper-plate holder at one end can hold the lids. Works great, and no scratches. – Sherril G., Santa Ana, Calif.

If the paper-plate holder is too flimsy, an inexpensive lid holder can be purchased at some home-improvement stores. – Heloise

Horoscope Saturday, Sept. 24, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)If you can cocoon at home today or just hide and relax, you will be happy. Focus on your private life today. Do yourself this favor.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Today is a good day for a heart-to-heart discussion with someone, probably a female friend, sibling or relative. There is something you want to say to someone.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Even though this is a playful, prankish time for you; today you are concerned about money and cash flow. It goes with the territory - fun and good times inevitably cost money.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Today the Moon is in your sign, which can make you more emotional than usual.

However, it also can make you a bit luckier than everybody else. You win some; you lose some.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Work alone or behind the scenes today, because this is what will suit you best. You feel the need to withdraw from the busyness of everything around you so that you can catch your breath.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) An interaction with a female acquaintance will be significant today. This person might even cause you to change your future goals. Listen to the advice of someone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Personal details about your private life seem to be out there today, for whatever reason.

Just grin and bear it. Hopefully, information about your finances stays private.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Do something different today. Break free from your daily routine so that you can learn something new. If you can travel anywhere - by all means, do so.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Tie up loose details with banking, inheritances and shared property. Know what’s going on because, especially when it comes to money, information is power.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be cooperative and accommodating with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. That’s how it works.

In two weeks, the Moon will be in your sign and things will be

different!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Do something so that you feel better organized today. Set aside 15 minutes to tidy up your scene. (You will love yourself for this.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)This is a playful, fun-loving day for your sign. Enjoy sports events, fun activities with children, plus schmoozing with friends. Accept invitations to party!

YOU BORN TODAY Justice and fair play are important to you. You are cooperative,

optimistic and full of creative, positive ideas. In the next three years, you will experience a time of culmination, success and financial accumulation.

That’s why it is wise to settle your debts this year. This also is a social year that also deals with the results of last year’s changes.

4-H records due Sept. Area youth compete in state pedal pull championship The Iowa State Pedal Pull Association held its won first place with a pull of 35.1 feet. This was his third 30 in Adair County 27th-Annual State Pedal Pull Championship Saturday, win at state.

GREENFIELD – Record-keeping is one of the experiences unique to the 4-H program.

Throughout the year, members are encouraged to set goals and record their progress using 4-H record forms. 4-H records also allow youth to keep track of their accomplishments in the areas of leadership, citizenship and communication.

There are many reasons to keep a record book. Records as a source of memories often come to the top of the list when 4-H alumni reflect on their record-keeping experiences. They’re also quick to point out the value of learning the discipline of record-keeping that has allowed them to feel at ease in maintaining everything from financial to personal records as adults.

A solid record book also provides much of the information needed by youth when they prepare to apply for college scholarships and jobs. In addition, the members look forward to the recognition that comes with completing a record book. Adair County 4-H’ers completing record books are eligible for special cash awards and honors. 4-H’ers are encouraged to contact Adair County Extension Office

Sept. 10, at the Coliseum in Marshalltown hosted by Marshalltown Noon Optimists club. More than 9,000 girls and boys participated in more than 200 sanctioned pedal pulls across Iowa.

The first, second, and third-place winners at state level are eligible to compete Saturday at the national pedal pull at the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota.

Brock Jones, son of David and Mindy Jones of Shannon City, competed in the 8-year-old boy division. He

with questions or for advice in completing their record book.

All record books are due by 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30, at Adair County Extension office.

4-H’ers can also earn recognition for volunteer service by submitting community service logs by Sept. 30. The log must include the type of community service activity, dates of service and hours volunteered.

All youth completing records will be recognized at the annual 4-H awards event planned for 2 p.m.

Sunday, Nov. 6, at Warren Cultural Center in Greenfield.

4-H enrollments and re-enrollments are being accepted now. Youth planning to join 4-H this year are encouraged to attend the new member and parent meeting scheduled from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, at the 4-H/ FFA Center on the Adair County Fairgrounds. This meeting is for new members and their parents, as well as current members and parents (first or second year). The event will involve shopping in our 4-H stores. Shop for information on 4-H enrollment (4honline), hands-on activities, record keeping, fun and refreshments.

Kinzey Ripperger, daughter of Daniel Ripperger and Alison Tracy of Lorimor, competed in the 9-year-old girl division. She won first place by being the only 9-year-old girl pulling through the course.

Sophia Chafa of Greenfield placed first in the 11-yearold girls, Raelyn Schwarze of Greenfield placed first in the 12-year-olds and Addison Harrison of Bedford placed third in the 5-year-old category. Also in competition was the 9-year-old son of Jesse and Valerie White of Creston.

Service line protection available for homeowners The city of Creston has partnered with Service Line Warranties of America (SLWA) to offer protection for homeowners for external sewer lines.

The coverage is voluntary and available at affordable monthly or annual prices.

“In today’s economy, it’s important for the city to help homeowners find affordable protection for their own private aging infrastructure,” said Mayor Gary Lybarger. “We live in an environment where water conservation and ground pollution are extremely important.

Through this program, homeowners are more likely to report problems without fear of expensive repairs. Protecting our environment and precious resources through a single-call enrollment process is very convenient for busy homeowners.”

The SLWA service line warranty program protects against leaks, breaks and clogs due to normal wear and tear, age, ground shifting and tree root intrusion. If a customer’s line is in need of repair, a simple call to the SLWA 24-hour hotline will dispatch a local, licensed contractor familiar with local code. The program provides up to $4,000 per incident for external sewer line repairs with an additional allowance for public street cutting. There are no annual or lifetime limits, service fees or deductibles – just protection when you need it most.

“Homeowners believe that the pipes located on their property will last forever or that the city

will repair the line if it breaks,” said Lybarger.

“That’s simply not the case. Many factors contribute to the life expectancy of a line such as tree root intrusion, ground shifting, weather and age – all factors which are covered through the SLWA protection program.”

This program is offered at no cost to the city and no public funds are used to promote or administer the program.

“We are pleased to offer affordable protection for sewer lines to the residents of Creston,” said Tom Rusin, CEO of SLWA parent HomeServe USA. “Homeowners will have peace of mind with our first-class customer service experience featuring a 24/7 claim repair line and local, licensed contractors – keeping dollars in the local economy.”

SLWA has a longstanding track record of superior service. As the 2013 winner of the Western Pennsylvania Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics, the company is committed to customer service, ethical marketing practices and maintaining an A-plus accredited rating with the Better Business Bureau. For questions about this service, or to enroll, contact SLWA at 866-922-9006 or visit www.slwofa.com. Homeowners can also follow SLWA online for company news and homeowner tips at: www.slwablog. com, www.facebook.com/ ServiceLineWarrantiesofAmerica and www.twitter.com/SLWANews.

About SLWA SLWA is part of HomeServe USA Corp (HomeServe), a leading provider of home repair solutions serving over 2.7 million customers across the US and Canada.

Founded in 2003, SLWA is the trusted source of utility line protection programs endorsed by the National League of Cities. Together with HomeServe, SLWA is dedicated to supplying best-in-class repair plans and delivering superior customer service to consumers directly and through over 400 leading municipal, utility and association partners.

Spartan runners improve at Grand View meet

INDIANOLA — Southwestern Community College’s men and women cross country teams delivered solid outings at the Viking Invitational, held at Pickard Park in Indianola last Friday.

The meet was moved from Water Works Park in Des Moines because of poor conditions there.

“I was very pleased with Contributed photo the effort of our athletes,” Southwestern Community College freshmen Madison said SWCC coach Nick Ekel.

and they adapted well to it.

“Pickard Park is as difficult a course as we will race all season,” Ekel said. “The mud and standing water on the course made the course even more difficult. Our athletes handled the conditions well. With the majority of our students from southwest Iowa they’re used to racing on hilly courses.”

Every single SWCC male runner set their season’s-best time over the 6k distance.

Two of the four women ran their best time of the season over the 5k distance.

“For every man to set a season best at 6k, and two of our four women to set season bests at 5k speaks to the level of mental toughness they exhibited,” Ekel said.

Sophomore Nate Hoyt, from Shenandoah, paced the team with a seventh-place finish in 20 minutes, 32 seconds.

Hoyt ran well in the terrible conditions.

“Nate Hoyt thrives in races where the course or conditions are less than ideal,” Ekel said. “The guy has no SWCC | 4S

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, September 23, 2016

Outdoor news Iowa’s regular duck 3517.

----------------hunting seasons to Popular Outdoor start soon Iowa has had a wet start to Expo is September summer and now a wet end 24-25 to summer filling wetlands and marshes across the state and flooding crop fields in certain areas. Adding to the mix that local Iowa ducks had a good hatch this spring and these young ducks are now spread out and using newly flooded areas for food and cover.

Regardless of whether you hunt from waders or a boat, the conditions are looking good heading ahead of Iowa’s duck hunting season opener.

“Right now there’s a lot of water out there and a lot of places for the ducks to go and they are taking advantage of that,” said Orrin Jones, state waterfowl biologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. “With all these new options available, hunters may see fewer ducks in traditional places. Scouting will be particularly important this year.”

Jones said hunters who find these new areas frequented by ducks and can get access, have the potential for excellent hunting.

While the local ducks are enjoying the new areas, warm and stable weather has not moved many of the early migrating species into the state.

“If we get the right weather conditions, we could get an impressive migration,”Jones said. “If not, there are a lot of areas where the birds can get away to. I know it sounds like a broken record, but the best way hunters can have success is to spend time scouting and find the birds.”

The daily bag and possession limits for 2016 are unchanged from 2015. The DNR posts wetland reports and weekly migration surveys on its website at http:// www.iowadnr.gov/Hunting/ Migratory-Game-Birds.

The opportunity for families to experience the fun of Iowa’s outdoors is right around the corner. The Iowa Outdoor Expo is Sept. 24 and 25 at Waterworks Park in Des Moines, which coincides with National Hunting and Fishing Day, on Sept. 24.

The Outdoor Expo allows attendees the opportunity to try many different activities in a safe, controlled environment. There will be opportunities to try fishing, bow fishing, canoeing and kayaking, outdoor cooking, trap shooting, archery and more. A full list of activities is available at www.iowadnr.gov/expo.

“This is a family friendly event with plenty of activities designed for people of all skill levels. We have instructors on hand to teach the activities, offer guidance and tips for them to enjoy the activity when they are on their own,” said Megan Wisecup, hunter education administrator for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

While attendance and activities has grown each year, what has not grown is the entry fee – it is still free entry to everyone. The Iowa Outdoor Expo is open Sept. 24 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sept.

25 from 10 a.m. — 4 p.m.

The Iowa Outdoor Expo is sponsored by the Izaak Walton League, Polk County Conservation, Des Moines Parks and Recreation, the U.S. Sportsman’s Alliance Foundation, SOAR Saving Our Avian Resources,

Weather by Foundation International, Friends of NRA, Mid-Iowa Bassmasters, Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Theisens HomeFarm-Auto, Milo Locker, Shallow Water Investigators Bowfishing, Northern Lights Pizza, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and many more.

State Forest Nursery in need of walnuts Iowa’s State Forest Nursery is in need of walnuts to propagate walnut seedlings this coming year, and is offering $2.50 per bushel.

Four buying stations have been set up throughout the state; the State Forest Nursery in Ames (800-8652477), Shimek State Forest (319-878-3811) in Farmington, Stephens State Forest (641-774-4559) in Chariton and Yellow River State Forest(563-586-2090) in Harpers Ferry. To schedule a time to drop off walnuts, call the appropriate location weekdays, during normal business hours. Walnuts will be purchased until the nursery’s need is met.

The nuts should be fresh and in good condition, free of debris like sticks and leaves. Hulls do not need to be removed and nuts can be brought to the buying station in buckets, boxes or loose in a trailer or pickup box.

The state forest nursery provides low-cost, native seedlings to help improve existing woodlands, wildlife habitat and water quality.

For more information on available nursery stock for your property, visit iowadnr.

gov/nursery or call the nursery at 1-800-865-2477.

Iowa is getting a glimpse of fall color Iowa’s leaf watchers are getting ready for the big fall show.

Unfortunately, this year may be more average than awesome for leaf viewers, according to Jeff Goerndt, DNR State Forest section supervisor.

“I hope my prediction is wrong,” says Goerndt. “But because of the wet weather we’ve been experiencing, color will likely be variable across the state. You get the best and brightest colors when you’ve got a lot of warm, dry, sunny days and crisp, cool nights.”

The broadest pallet of fall colors is found in northeast Iowa, where there are more hard maples supplying the bright reds and oranges, says Goerndt. But there are plenty of other areas around the state with outstanding fall landscapes. For example, the contrast between the yellow ash and the deep green cedars of the Loess Hills is a completely different yet equally beautiful fall look.

Leaves typically change first across northern Iowa between the last week of September to the second week of October. Central Iowa will see leaves changing from the first to third weeks of October and southern Iowa between the second week and the end of October.

What changes where is subject to weather. How vivid and how long leaves remain is also determined by
