Record News
Family farmers, private nonprot organizations and local governments in Ringgold county are now eligible to apply for federal nancial assistance, according to information received from the Farm Service Agency, the Small Business Administration and the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management ofce. As yet, however, assistance to individual property owners has not been authorized. Low-interest federal disaster loans are now available in 39 Iowa counties following President Obamas federal disaster declaration for public assistance as a result of severe storms, straight-line winds and ooding that occurred from April 17 - April 30. For county and city governments the assistance is targeted for the repair or replacement of disaster damaged public facilities and to offset extraordinary costs incurred in the removal of debris generated by the event and the performance of emergency protective measures in response to the event. Besides Ringgold county, the counties included in the Presidential Major Disaster Designation are Appanoose, Cedar, Clinton, Davis, Decatur, Des Moines, Iowa, Johnson, Keokuk, Lee, Lucas, Marion, Monroe, Muscatine, Van Buren, Wapello, Warren, and Wayne. Twenty Iowa counties are contiguous to this designated disaster area, making these counties also potentially eligible for the program based on this designation. The contiguous counties are Adams, Benton, Clarke, Dallas, Henry, Jackson, Jasper, Jefferson, Jones, Linn, Louisa, Madison, Mahaska, Polk, Poweshiek, Scott, Tama, Taylor, Union and Washington. Clinton County has also named as a contiguous county to an Illinois disaster. Family farmers The Farm Service Agency may make Emergency Loans to eligible family farmers which will enable them to return to their normal operations if they sustained qualifying losses resulting from natural disaster. Physical loss loans may be made to eligible farmers to enable them to repair or replace damaged or destroyed physical property, including livestock losses, essential to the success of the farming operation. Examples of property commonly affected include essential farm buildings, xtures to real estate, equipment, livestock, perennial crops, fruit and nut bearing trees and harvested or stored crops. For production loss loans, the disaster yield must be at least 30 percent below the normal production yield of the crop, on a crop or crops that make up a basic part of the total farming operation. Applicants must be unable to obtain credit from other usual sources to qualify for the Farm Service Agency Farm Loan Program assistance. The interest rate for emergency loans is 2.375 percent. Each applicant applying for credit will be given equal consideration without regard to race, creed, color, marital status, or national origin. The repayment for most disaster loans are based on the useful life of the security, the applicants repayment ability, and the type of loss. If the loan is secured only on crops, it must be repaid when the next crop years income is received. Loans to replace xtures to real estate may be scheduled for repayment for up to 40 years. The nal date for making application under this designation is January 31, 2014. Interested farmers may contact their local County FSA ofce for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs. Information can also be found on-line at www.fsa.usda. gov.

All interested PNPs should begin the process by registering with FEMA. At the time of registration, FEMA will determine if the PNP qualies to immediately apply for a grant from FEMAs PA program or will be referred to SBA to apply for a low-interest federal disaster loan. SBA may lend PNPs up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory and other business assets. SBA can also lend additional funds to help with the cost of making improvements that protect, prevent or minimize the same type of disaster damage from occurring in the future.

Ringgold has second oldest Iowa population

Ringgold county gures prominently in statistics related to older Iowans as presented by the Iowa Data Center. At 23.6 percent Ringgold county is tied for second in the state in percentage of population age 65 or over. Monona county, located between Omaha and Sioux City, also counts older Iowans as 23.6 percent of its population. Calhoun county, located west of Fort Dodge, leads the state in percentage of older Iowans at 23.8 percent. In addition, two Ringgold county towns are included in the top ve oldest counties in the state. According to statistics, Beaconseld at 40 percent and Diagonal at 36. 1 percent rank second and fth respectively with populations age 65 and over. In 2011 an estimated 457,738 Iowans were age 65 and over. This age group accounted for 14.9 percent of the total population. According to researchers at Woods & Poole Economics, Inc., the projected population age 65 and older in Iowa in the year 2040 will be 680,842, approximately 19.1 percent of the total population. In 2010 26 Iowa counties reported 20 percent or more of their populations were age 65 or over. Researchers believe that number will rise to 83 counties by 2040.

School board approves Hall of Fame creation

Also discusses anticipated costs for ACA
Discussion of the Affordable Care Act, the approval of a district wide Hall of Fame and preparations for the 2013-2014 school year were main agenda items as the Board of Education of the Mount Ayr Community schools met in regular session Monday, June 10. Hall of Fame The board approved plans for the creation of a Mount Ayr Community School Hall of Fame. According to the Hall of Fame constitution, its purpose is to 1) honor those Raiders who have accomplished extraordinary feats in extracurricular activities; 2) honor those who have made great contributions to the Mount Ayr Community School activities over a period of many years, and 3) honor those Mount Ayr Community School graduates who have distinguished themselves in life after high school. Nominees for membership in the Hall of Fame will come from the following categories: friends of Mount Ayr Community School, coaches/sponsors, teams/groups, individuals and distinguished graduates. Nominations can be made by any person or group and can be presented at any time to the selection committee. The selection committee will be comprised of high school principal, athletic director, one Board of Education member, a representative of the Mount Ayr Record-News, one staff member appointed by the athletic director, one member appointed by the Athletic Booster Club, one member appointed by the Fine Arts Booster Club, a past Hall of Fame inductee (when applicable) and an at-large community member. The selection committee will narrow the list of nominees to arrive at a maximum of four nalists to become the Induction Class for a given year. (At the discretion of the selection committee, the charter member class may exceed the annual maximum of four.) Nominees not selected for induction will carry over from year to year. Affordable Care Act Leslie Ables from Mercer Health and Benets LLC met with the board to discuss the nancial impact the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will have on the Mount Ayr district when it takes full effect in 2014. She summarized the main provisions of the ACA and explained a number of associated fees that will be phased in over the course of 2013. Ables presented estimates of ACA fees for the Mount Ayr district in 2014 based upon data collected from the 2013 Wellmark Claim Report. These fees included an estimated annual Research Fee of $2 per member per year, an estimated annual Transitional Research fee of $63 per member per year and an estimated annual Health Insurance Provider fee of between $84 and $108 per member per year. Based upon 58 district members (including spouses, dependents, retirees and COBRA participants) enrolled in districts health insurance, Ables reported her company has estimated annual total ACA fees between $149 and $173 per member per year for a total range between $8,642 and $10,034 in increased fees. 2013-2014 preparations The board okayed a number of items in preparation for the 20132014 school year. Gate fees, student activity passes, adult season activity passes, registration fees, computer deposit and drivers ed fees will all remain the same as they were this year. Food service prices will rise ve cents across the board. Elementary and high school lunches for students will cost $1.90 and $2 respectively. Elementary and high school breakfasts will cost $1.40 and $1.45 respectively. Adult breakfasts will cost $2.15 with adult lunches going to $3.15. The ve cent increase will also apply to items like milk and juice, salad bar and so on. The board set school registration for August 5-6. More information will become available closer to the date. The board approved annual agreements for the MATURA Head Start program and the MidIowa School Improvement Consortium, which provides assistance with professional development, MAP testing and curriculum management. Despite a premium that more than doubled, the board voted to renew the equipment breakdown insurance provided by Jester Insurance Services. The premium jumped from $32,815 in 20122013 to $69,289 for the upcoming school year. The increase was attributed to a variety of factors: an increase in student enrollment; the addition of 115 laptops, 10 tablets and 18 Smartboards, and a premium to incurred loss ratio of 142 percent. Superintendent Joe Drake explained one advantage of having equipment breakdown insurance is that it can be paid for through the management fund rather than the general fund. Secondary principal Lynne Wallace said the district previously had used the Apple Care program for equipment re-

pair, but that program covered only mechanical defects and not breakage. The current insurance covers equipment repair for any reason and even includes reimbursement for time spent by district employees such as the tech director and custodian while repairing their own equipment. The board approved the student and parent handbook and the 7-12 professional development plan as presented by Wallace. She explained the staff will focus on the Olweus anti-bullying program as well as the Authentic Intellectual Work program that stresses relevance in the curriculum. Wallace said two in-service days in the fall will be devoted to training all staff in the Olweus program. Personnel The board approved superintendent Drakes recommendation to hire Bryant McCabe as a new sixth grade teacher to replace Bret Ruggles who has transferred to the ____________________________

Local grads experience life after high school

By MADISON HOSFIELD In a small town, its always a blessing to see hometown kids grow and prosper in the real world. Alex Sobotka, a 2012 graduate from Mount Ayr Community high school, is currently attending Iowa State University majoring in mechanical engineering. A 2009 Mount Ayr graduate, Daniel Showalter, is nishing his senior year of college at Northwest Missouri State University. Both have landed on a great path toward their dreams, but heres a further look inside of what life is like as a beginner in college and as someone who has seen it all and is ready for the real world. Sobotka, a freshman at ISU, received letters from several colleges and had many to choose from. He ended up at Iowa State due to their good engineering program and due to the fact he had a lot of family who went to that university, he had a good feel of the college. Before college Sobotka was unsure if he wanted to pursue a major in education or engineering. Iowa State offers him a program where he can major in engineering and if he later decides to go into education, he will only have to take three classes. With this availability, ISU seemed like a perfect t. Aside from his engineering major, Sobotka is also minoring in business. He mentioned that he likes Iowa State, but it did take a lot of time to get used to coming from a small high school. It took him a lot longer to get to know people in college and didnt talk to many people at rst. In Mount Ayr, you see the same people everyday whereas in Ames, you may see someone one day and not see them again for two months, said Sobotka. Once he started getting used to his classes and seeing the same people a couple days a week, it became easier to make friends. Another big change Sobotka has noticed was the transition from his high school teachers to the college professors. In high school, the teachers took a lot more time to focus and help the individual student whereas the professors try to do their best to teach but arent as concerned about the students as individuals. This semester, Sobotka took four classes which he said was a smaller number. He said even though he had class more days a week than most students, he appreciated that he only had a lot of homework in a couple classes rather than a lot in several different classes. He mentioned that his favorite change of going to college was being able to control his own schedule. I go to class everyday because I choose to, he said. If I go out and do something, its because I want to do it. The freedom is nice, but I always end up going back to what my parents said; they were always right. Sobotka has taken part in intramurals during college such as football, basketball and slow pitch softball, which is where he met a lot of his friends.

Snapshots of Ringgold County Showing its age

As part of our commemoration of the Record-News 150th year of publishing, each week we will feature a photo of life in Ringgold County. Snapshots of Ringgold County photos will vary as the seasons and events dictate. In this photo, a tree that once provided shade has transformed into a work of art with its jagged branches ad splitting trunk. This is the fteenth of the photos in our commemorative series.

His biggest advice to students in high school is to take part in college classes offered through SWCC online. It helps a lot to have credits coming into college and some classes already out of the way. The classes through SWCC better prepare you for the classes youre going to take in college and they also dont affect your GPA, he said. The more credits you come in with, the sooner you get to register, and classes ll up quick. Through career fairs and learning communities, Sobotka has landed himself a summer internship in Ames through KinglandSystems. He will be working as a data research analysist (DRA), making sure all information they get from companies is accurate. This will not only give him good work experience but also look good on resumes. Overall, Sobotka has enjoyed his rst year of college. The rst semester hit him pretty hard, but once he got used to it, it wasnt that bad. Its a lot to get used to with homework, classes, and lots of students, but once you get settled down, its a pretty good time, he said. Daniel Showalter began his college career at the University of Northern Iowa. After a year, he decided Northwest Missouri State University would be a better t for him.

Fun at summer science camp
Summer is a time for camps -- and Ill be at two or three this summer with my new retirement schedule. At least thats the plan now. My summer camping experiences began last week with the Science and Technology day camp at Graceland University in Lamoni. I volunteered to be one of the teachers for breakout classes when my brother, Ron, a mathematics professor at Graceland, asked me. The rst question one might ask is what is an old newspaperman doing helping with a science and technology camp? It denitely wasnt to teach biology or chemistry. Its been 40 years since I took a class in either of those subjects. But this camp, designed to interest fth through eight graders in science and technology matters, reaches beyond the science basics that one might rst imagine. This is a camp of robots, rockets, math magic, slide rules, microscope use and more. And photography. Now weree getting into something I know a little about. When you come to think about it, photography would t science and technology in its old and new forms. Previously photography would give an introduction to chemistry with all the chemicals needed to develop a roll of lm and then to print the picture on photo paper. Then there was the technology of actually capturing the light on lm. Now photography is just as much science and technology. Its just computer science. There is still the technology to capture the light, but it is captured by sensors that store it as digital information. Then this information is moved over to computers, where it can be edited or enhanced. It can be shared in the digital arena, or more technology can be used to make a digital or photographic print. So my job was to teach a two-session class to all the students at the camp. The rst part of the class we talked about the technology of cameras and how they take pictures. We talked about the sensors that pick up red, green and blue light and pixels, the small bits of information that the sensors have to read the pictures. A cell phone can take up to eight million pixels in a shot while upper end cameras are taking 36 million pixels in a shot. Thats a lot of 1s and 0s. We talked about photo composition and how to arrange the scenes for good pictures (when there was time to do it). We learned to crop pictures to good composition when there wasnt time to do anything but get a shot. Then we went out for a photo walk, where I suggested ways of seeing things along the way that might make good pictures. We shot pictures from unusual angles, we got in close to objects and people.

LOOKING BACK in the Early Files

Fifty Years Ago (From the Mount Ayr RecordNews, Thursday, June 6, 1963.) Sealed proposals will be received by the town of Mount Ayr until 1:30 p.m. on Monday, June 10, for resurfacing 13 1/2 blocks of concrete pavement on sections of West Madison Street, Dunning Avenue and Shellway Drive. This is the second attempt to receive an acceptable bid. The Junior Atoms 4-H Club netted $65 from its Slave Auction held Tuesday afternoon at the Mount Ayr Livestock Market. Nine members and their leader, Raymond Umbarger, were sold. Purchasing the services of the nine members were Bernard Sullivan, Park Rinehart, Len Beath and Raymond Umbarger of Mount Ayr; Jerry Walter of Benton; Ralph Brammer of Redding; Russell Phipps of Grant City, MO, and Don Moberg of Creston. An undisclosed buyer paid $5 not to have Raymond Shorty Umbarger work for him. The Grand Valley girls quartet, composed of Jane Sissel, Joy Jackson, Cathy Burchett an Marjorie Payton, tied for rst place on the Bill Riley Talent Show, which was recorded May 2 and was played back on June 2. In view of their success, the girls are eligible to compete with other winners a the Iowa State Fair in August. With the passing of each day, mount Ayrs new swimming pool in Lewis Park comes closer to its grand opening. However, many last-minute details must be worked out before the opening. The inspector was in Mount Ay the past week and found everything about the pool satisfactory. Scholarship awards were presented to 141 graduates of the Mount Ayr Community high school during the class day program held May 27. Honored were Faye Paist, Vicki Newton, Norma Wallace, Janet Bourne, Carol Chicken, Cynthia Kelly, Norene Denney, Jane Kinne, Donna Walters, Pamela Gauer, David Barker, Jerry Waugh, Dick Stephens and Paul Lay. Royce Davis of Mount Ayr became a three-time winner when he copped the championship of the open golf tournament played Sunday at the Mount Ayr Golf and County Club. Davis turned in a score of 109, one over par, for the 27 holes played. He shot consistently and had a 36 - 37 - 36 for three rounds on the par 36 course. Bill Hughes of Denver, MO won the feature event as the Mount Ayr Jalopy Club opened its seventh season Memorial Day night at the track, southwest of Mount Ayr. Hank Smith of Mount Ayr placed second and Joe Vaughn of Maryville, MO nished third. Joy Jackson of Kellerton and Roger Reece of Diagonal have been chosen by the state 4-H ofce to be special chorus delegates to the State 4-H Conference to be held June 12-15 in Ames, announcement of which has been made by Helen Streebin, county extension assistant.

The obituary in this issue was Charles Oliver Deibert. Twenty-ve Years Ago (From the Mount Ayr RecordNews, Thursday, June 16, 1988.) Holes in the group sprouting wire mesh cages are the beginnings of the new clariers being built as part of a half million dollar renovation and expansion for the Mount Ayr city sewage treatment plant. Concrete has been poured for the base of one of the clariers and the sides of the structures will be poured soon. The plant work will mean higher sewer rates for Mount Ayr water and sewer customers, who will now pay 95 percent of their water bill each month as the sewer charge. The improvements are to be completed and the plant in working order by December 1. A self-funded proposal for handling health insurance claims of Ringgold County Hospital employees was presented by Lori Jennings, representing Iowa Benets, Inc. of Ames, during a June 13 meeting of the Ringgold County Hospital board. Mount Ayr becomes the croquet capital of Iowa Saturday when Croquemania IV becomes the center of attention. The annual croquet tournament has grown to a summer celebration in its fourth appearance this year. As well as the croquet tournament and dance, this year the event will feature a 20-person hot tub, sand lot volleyball and the worlds largest pool table. Tuesday, June 76, had a nearrecord number of trafc tickets that went through Ringgold County Judicial Magistrates court. The 31 tickets processed compare to that many that might be issued in a month, Magistrate Bob Roe said. Heather Clark, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Clark of Diagonal, designed the winning poster in the 1988 Mothers Against Drunk Driving -- National Car Rental poster/ essay contest. Clark received a check for $1,000, plaque and a gold ribbon for her entry at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. The poster featured the silhouette of a baby reaching for a buttery along with the words, A Dream is a Fragile Thing. Dont Drink and Drive. Four letterwinners are providing leadership for the Mount Ayr Community Raiderettes during their summer softball season. Letterwinners include senior Kim McGinnis, sophomore Dawn Huff, sophomore Monica Gregg and senior Kelley Davenport. Obituaries in this weeks issue were James Russell Adams, Trula Viola Golliday Kobbe and LeRoy Grant Hill. Ten Years Ago (From the Mount Ayr RecordNews, Thursday, June 5, 2003.) U. S. Senator Charles Grassley shared details about Medicare equity during his visit to Ringgold County Hospital Wednesday. He also visited with Farm Bureau board members following the hospital stop.

& other things

looked for patterns and ways to use our new composition skills. Then we went back to the computer lab where we worked on learning some skills with photo editing software. We sharpened, checked color, added contrast and cropped them as we learned some basic skills. Then I let them loose with the many lters that can render a picture as a water color or stained glass project, an oil painting or a pencil sketch, adding colors or taking colors away. Then I did the session ve more times with the other six groups that were taking part in the camp. As well as the sessions like mine, there were many group activities. They spent a rainy morning at Slips Bluff Park trying out some science skills. They went on a Great Race adventure, running around campus to different sites, where they solved puzzles. The nale of the three-day camp was ring off the rockets they had made in rocketry class. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with the campers, and gathered quite a gallery of photographs that my young charges came up with. By the end of the week, however, I was hufng and pufng a little. The closest thing to a problem was that one camper didnt use the wrist guard and dropped the camera. It was none the worse for wear, thankfully. I think the next camp at Graceland University was going to be an art camp. I didnt volunteer to reprise my photo session for that, though it might t in with a little different twist. All the Science and Technology campers I talked with thought they had a great time at the camp. I watched a sixth grader expound on the fun of using a slide rule for the rst time. I saw some enthusiastic new rocketeers chasing down their rockets as they parachuted to the ground. I dont think they were just trying to be nice when they agreed it was worthwhile. There are lots of memories to be made and maybe some ideas picked up on careers in science and technology for these young students. Whether it just boosts a campers interest in classes in school in middle school or high school, or intrigues some budding scientist who nds a new passion, it certainly seemed a great way to spend some of the summer.

Ringgold county moved from doing better than the state average in six measures of child well-being to trailing the state average when comparisons of 2000 and 2001 are made. When the areas of infant mortality, low birth weight, births to 16-17-year-olds, teen unmarried pregnancies, child abuse and neglect and high school graduation are looked at, Ringgold county has better than the state average in all but one. The negative change came in the number of reports of child abuse and neglect, which increased between the two years. The first annual Ringgold County HELP (Help Enrich the Lives of People) banquet was held Wednesday at the American Legion building in Mount Ayr. High levels of trihalomethanes in tests of the Mount Ayr municipal water system in January 2002 meant that the 2003 water quality report for the Mount Ayr Water Treatment Plant showed a violation in one area. Trihalomethanes are by-products of drinking water disinfection when chlorine reacts with organic matter in the water. The city of Mount Ayr has been purchasing water from the Southern Iowa Rural Water Association on a full-time basis since May 2002 and the SIRWA water does not have trihalomethane levels above the violation point, according to the report led by the city. Obituaries in this weeks issue were Eugene D. Enabnit, Charles Wayne Chuck McKern, David Leon Paxson, Frank Reasoner, Opal Margaret Russell and Richard W. Dick Saville.

The board approved principal Wallaces recommendation to hire Andrew Drake as a special education associate at the high school at a salary of $14,332.

The Alliant Energy Foundation gave $2,600 to the Mount Ayr Community Schools to support the existing Project Lead-the-Way program of engineering instruction, experience and teacher support. The funds specically will help purchase 30 DakTech Plaid Book QAL51VNotebook computers over the next two years to enhance student learning and provide additional exibility in study setting. Local industries that need engineering, software and other technical skills have recently located to this area, said Tom Aller, Alliant Energy Foundation president. This assistance helps provide educational programs and learning experiences that prepare students with 21st century skills. We are proud to help students prepare for careers in technical areas. Aller added. The grants were made through the Alliant Energy Foundations Community Grant Program, which has awarded more than $400,000 in grants to organizations in its utilities service area during its rst-of-three grant cycles in 2013. The Foundation awards community grants to specic projects beneting the community in the areas of arts, education, environment, and human and civic needs.

Angela Reynolds was hired as the new SFL coordinator. Her 210day contract will begin July 1 at a salary of $30,000. The board accepted the resignation of bus driver Owen Martching with gratitude for his years of service. The board also approved the request from Jodie Geist to transfer her unused personal days to emergency leave as allowed in the master contract. Superintendents report Superintendent Drake explained the impact of the Iowa legislatures decision to provide two percent allowable growth coupled with a two percent one-time payment in state aid to Iowa schools for the 2013-2014 school year. He said the district will receive $115,158 in new money next year that will help offset $188,834 in new ex-

penses. The difference has already been addressed with cost-saving measures such as reductions in classied staff, the sharing of the librarian and early retirement savings. Drake added the legislature also approved a four percent allowable growth rate for the 20142015 school year, a move that will allow districts much greater exibility in planning their budgets for that year. Drake reported he had approved the purchase of handrails that will be installed on the football bleachers at a cost of $4,950. The board had earlier cited the installation of the handrails as a priority capital improvement for the coming year.

versities were in the Midwest and had strong educational programs, which is exactly what he was looking for. Although his intended major was secondary social studies education, he changed his major two times before returning to that same major. Many of you know that Showalters father has been a very respected teacher and coach at Mount Ayr. Daniel watched his father do these things since he was little, so he fell in love with it early on. I guess you could say its in my blood, he said. Throughout college, Showalter became active in the Catholic church and was also busy not only studying but also working three to ve days a week. Like Sobotka, Showalter wasnt completely sure what to think of the professors when he rst got to college and was a little nervous in class. The further he moved along in college, though, the more comfortable he became with his professors and being able to approach them. When opportunities arose, Showalter took advantage of them and tried to prepare for his future as best as he could. Not only did

he work hard in his classes, but he also observed at local high schools and worked with younger students every chance available. Showalters latest job has been working at Eugene Field Elementary school with young kids. This fall, he will also be student teaching at Bedford high school. I have gained much valuable knowledge through my work, he said. His ability to analyze things is the biggest change Showalter sees in himself during his years in college. Whether it was a class discussion, an exam or a life situation, I have learned not what to think but how to think, he said. Looking back on college now, he didnt have much of an answer on what he would go back and change if he could. Living life with no regrets is a great policy to live by, and this future teacher does just that. Overall, Showalter says that college has been a life-changing experience. Although there were times he has cursed college as the worst decision he made, there have been many more times that he has thoroughly enjoyed college. Showalter has one piece of ad-

vice for future college students: Be condent in yourself, take chances and dont be afraid to ask for help, he said. The number one thing you learn at college is how to learn. Both of these young men set ne examples during their times at Mount Ayr while being involved in almost everything possible, maintaining good grades, having great character and being very well respected. It is no doubt that the two of them have taken that character farther than Mount Ayr and will only continue to do so.

Reunions

The meal was served by Mary Lee Foltz and Kathy Ward. Faith Lameraux Shinkle gave the blessing before the meal. All were then seated at the beautifully decorated table with relishes and cheese and crackers on the table as starters and then came the main meal of all the food their plates would hold, salads plus wonderful dinner rolls. After the meal a business meeting was held. Thelma Rusk read the minutes from the 2012 gettogether. They were saddened by the death of classmate Virgil Main. Several of the classmates had attended his memorial service held on March 16, 2013 at the Wishard Chapel Community Church. Theola Weeda had been to see Pearl Hoffman, who is 101 years old and doing ne. She is still in her own apartment and has a very sharp mind. Theola said she was going strong and asked about some of the students that her husband had had in school at Mount Ayr and FFA. She had pictures of her and a nice letter to Theola which she also shared with everyone. Thelma announced that Jean Prentis Reger had gotten married to a longtime friend, Peyton Holloman, on December 29, 2012. Her two sons walked her down the isle. A discussion was had as to next years reunion, which will be their 70th. It was decided that next year they would meet on the second Saturday of June, June 14, 2014. They hope to hear from those unable to intensity of its opening 27 minutes, which depict the Omaha Beach assault of June 6, 1944. To read more about D-Day, the library recommends The Steel Wave by Jeff Shaara.

Mary Kathryn Gepner

June 10 - Sixty-eight years ago, June 6, 1944, approximately 160,000 Allied troops stormed a 50-mile heavily-fortied stretch of beach in Normandy, France. German fortications in Normandy were part of the Hitlers Atlantic Wall which was to extend from Norway to Spain to defend against an anticipated Allied attack. The wall was never completed. Heaviest fortications were in the Pais de Calais where the Germans assumed that the Allied invasion would take place. The Pais de Calais, across from Dover, England, is the narrowest place in the English Channel and the most likely spot for the invasion. Germanys most able general, Erwin Rommel, was given the task of strengthening the Atlantic Wall. Under Rommels direction, Normandy, several miles to the south of Calais, was heavily fortied. Rommel had predicted that if the Allies could not be stopped at the waters edge, the war would be lost. At the end of what has been called, the longest day, the Allies had established a beachhead and Rommels prediction would come true. The cost was extremely heavy, 9,000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded on that day. A huge storm front had developed over the English channel on June 5 causing the Germans to conclude that an invasion would not be possible. Rommel had left the front. June 6 was his wifes birthday and he was on his way home to Germany. With 160,000 men at their ports of departure, the Supreme Allied Commander Dwight Eisenhower took a chance on a predicted 24hour break in the weather and ordered the 5,000-vessel armada to Normandy. Besides the weather, the nature of the German command structure aided the Allies. Rommel lacked adequate Panzer divisions in Normandy, there were reserves but only Hitler could give the order to move them to meet the Allied invasion. On the morning of June 6, Hitler was asleep and his staff refused to wake him. This year, June 6, 2013, 12 World War II vets, part of a program called Connecting Generations, visited the American cemetery in Normandy, where so many of their fallen comrades lie. In the movie, Saving Private Ryan, director Steven Spielberg has Ryan, now an elderly veteran, visit the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. Ryan stands at the grave of United States Army Rangers Captain John H. Miller. He asks his wife to conrm that he has led a good life an that he is a good man and thus worthy of the sacrice of Miller and the others. Saving Private Ryan is notable for its graphic and realistic portrayal of war and for the

travel to Mount Ayr anymore as to how they are doing and a little about their family. They will be meeting at the Heritage Park community building. Dinner will be served at 12 noon. The girls agreed to serve one more year. After the business meeting the girls served dessert of angel food cake, ice cream, strawberries and rhubarb cobbler as well as a root beer oat. Now you could choose one, two or take it all! Those attending this year were Delbert and Hazel Jackson of Grant City, MO and those from Mount Ayr were Theola Hightshoe Weeda, Faith Lameraux Shinkle, Phyllis Moon Faubion, Wanda Jeter McGahuey, Park and Joan Rinehart and Thelma Anderson Rusk. Thelma told that her husband, Bill, was in the Clearview Nursing Home and he sent greetings. They are small in number anymore but still big on visiting, sharing news and pictures of family and friends and enjoying their time together. They hope they all are together on June 14, 2014 for dinner at 12 noon at the Heritage Park community building for their 70th class reunion. 2013 Tingley alumni banquet The Tingley high school alumni banquet was held Saturday, May 25, 2013, at the Tingley community building. Sue Richards, class of 1957, had chosen the theme, Pot of Gold. The tables and building were beautifully decorated in rainbow colors. Several gathered at 5 p.m. in the shelter house to visit and moved inside at 6 p.m. to be seated. Richards welcomed 97 alumni and guests and thanked them for coming, insisting Tingley not let their colors fade and die. Richards thanked Doris Been, Cleone Hoseld, Mary Sue McIntosh and Jenesse Tull for helping with invitations and Melvin, Doris and Jeff Richards for helping with set up. Dean Eighme gave the blessing. Everyone enjoyed the bountiful buffet meal prepared and served by the Tingley Methodist Women, headed by Suzanne Miller. Mary Jane Mosby conducted the business meeting. Jenesse read the 2012 minutes. Mary Sue gave the treasurers report with a balance of $671.33. After much discussion as to

Birthdays
Hoseld to celebrate 80th birthday
Naomi (Mrs. George) Hoseld of Tingley will be celebrating 80 years young on June 18, 2013. In lieu of a larger celebration, Naomi is being honored by her family with a card shower. Cards and correspondence may be sent to Naomi at 201 W. Main, Tingley, IA 50863. Since retiring from the farm near Ellston several years ago, Naomi has spent hundreds of hours volunteering at the Tingley Meal Site and also still enjoys gardening and dancing. George and Naomi celebrated 60 years of marriage last year.

whether they continue the banquet, Tull volunteered to host for 2014. As the church ladies asked not to serve another year, Tull will nd someone to serve the meal. Judy Pottorff was elected secretary for 2014 and McIntosh will continue to serve as treasurer. Donald Richards read the roll call of classes. Anniversary attendees were: 75 years - Marjorie Werner; 70 years - Donald Grout; 55 years - Judith (Jobe) Pottorff, Brenda (Brown) Shelberg and Joyce (Richards) Anderson, and 50 years - Rita (Dukes) Sickels and Patty (Grout) Stark. Richards read a letter received from Betty (Marrs) Fenn from the 65-year class. Hoseld read a letter from Donald Neffs widow. Special guests recognized were Col. Dietrich Geschke of Arizona and Helga (Geschke) Stoldt and husband Juergon of Michigan. Dietrich brought several copies of his autobiography titled 1309 days to Freedom, which he signed and sold. Marjorie Werner led everyone in the Tingley Fight Song with help from cheerleaders Cleone Hoseld and Pauline Murphy waving their pom-poms. McIntosh read a poem written by her mother, Cora Pritchard. Donald Dukes gave credit and recognition to the service men present for their freedom. Al Ibbotson led in all singing The Star Spangled Banner. Dukes sang the beautiful song, We Have This Moment Today. His two musically talented daughters favored with piano and guitar music. They sang several songs and were joined in harmony by Ibbotson and John Allen. It was excellent entertainment. Myrna (England) Spurlock and Hugh Ferguson were very entertaining with many humorous educational comments. Richards closed with a drawing for the ower pot decorations on the tables. Hopefully again next year many alumni from Tingley will come home for another fun evening together. Respectfully submitted by secretary, Jenesse Tull

Activity Center

June 10 - The past week has been a busy one at the Activity Center with the pizza and bingo party sponsored by Care Initiatives on Tuesday and the Day Trip to Weston, MO on Friday. Myron Ingram was the blackout winner of a DVD player on Tuesdays bingo. There is always a good turnout at these parties. Thirty-one people were on the bus trip to Weston, MO and from the looks of the evaluations, everyone had a great time. Everyone started off with a stop at the Weston Historical Museum where three of their people talked about Weston and its history, the river that at one time had been at the end of the street and their tobacco and hemp crops that made Weston a protable place to live before the Civil War. Tobacco is still locally grown around Weston but not to the extent that it was during its heyday. From the museum they went next door and visited an Antebellum home which had been restored. What an interesting home it was with Bessie Parker being able to answer the question of why there were no closets in those homes. She answered correctly because at that time homes were taxed on the number of rooms and a closet was another room. Of course, they did not have the amount of clothes that we have now. After visiting the Antebellum home, they went to Main Street Galleria where they enjoyed a luncheon of quiche, mufn, cup of soup, vegetables, dessert and beverage, all homemade. That sure hit the spot! Free time was given to peruse the shops in Weston which were unique, including an oldfashioned hardware store that had absolutely everything. A stop at The Farmers House Market rounded out the day trip. This not-for-prot market which is dedicated to planting seeds of encouragement, support and hope, providing a variety of opportunities for youth and adults with

June 10 - Can you believe this weather? How many times have you gone to a baseball game the rst of June and had to dress like you were going to a football game? Bet were in for a drastic change soon. It will probably turn summer all at once. Anyway, this community has several little league teams this year. Take the time and go to the ball game sometime this season and support the young folks. Schedules are posted in several of the local business places. Theres always plenty of excitement taking place at the meal site. Sometimes a lot more than others. Last week was one of those weeks. A rst happened Monday that hasnt in the sites 39 years. Suddenly mid-morning there was no water. A leak, eventually discovered in the Shannon City area, was the problem. It didnt take long to correct once it was found. The water was back on in time to wash dishes. Thanks to the Styrofoam plates and dishware and bottled water, the day was saved and made dishwashing a lot easier and faster. All thought it would have been a perfect time to picnic in the park. The site even had some funtime music thanks to Peggy Skarda, Harold Brown and Vern Brown. Music always makes any day better. The site was privileged to have Angela Carbino from Area XIV Agency on Aging present. She brought another interesting and informative program on changes and information they need to know and check out about Medicare come July 1. She and sister Nancy Young remained for lunch. As always, they had some helpful handouts for everyone. What a day Tuesday was! This writer doesnt know where to begin. Elvis was there and, as the song goes, They Were All Shook Up. Dressed for the part and with the assistance of his helper, Kay, he brought a wonderful program of Elvis hits. No one was ready for him to quit when it was time. His being at Tingley was Pinkie Collins birthday treat to the meal site. It sure was a good one. A big audience was on hand for his performance. This happened to be the day the sites cook needed to be gone. Without the volunteers who

stepped forth, it would have been a disaster. Dorothy and Gary Burgher, Naomi and George Hoseld and Joyce England arrived on site early to get food preparation underway. Meals got delivered, food served and dishes done by others who stepped forth to help. This writer bets a day like this couldnt happen in many places. She doesnt know what the future will bring for the Tingley site but this day will be one to remember. John Cline and Pinkie Collins had two special little guests present to share the day. They were two great-granddaughters, Molly and Emma Gennara. The regular band will be back next Tuesday. Friday was another big day as it was time to celebrate June Birthdays. What a nice big number of honorees there were. Present to celebrate their June birth dates were Carl Lily, Evalee White, Dorothy Barber, Dale Greene, Kay Drake, Naomi Hoseld, Mary Jane Narigon, Margaret Hull, Annabelle Jones and Leota Pinkie Collins. The Friday Singers were present to entertain with their medley of June selections. Singers included accompanist Darlene Morgan, director Mary Jane Narigon, plus Bonnie Manders, Marge Werner, Norma Webb, Peggy Wagenknecht, Don and Darlene Wimmer, Dorothy Clough, Virginia Walden, Pauline Murphy and Harold Brown. Cakes for the occasion were provided by Hester Derscheid, member of the Ellston. U.M.W. ladies group. Ice cream for the party was donated by George and Naomi Hoseld and Jack and Lila Greene. The site was happy to welcome a good number of folks back from Maple Ridge Assisted Living and Mount Ayr Health Care. They didnt make it for May because

News Glenn Miller festival to honor big band star

The 2013 Glenn Miller Festival is packed with entertainment and fun Thursday, June 13 through Sunday, June 16. This festival honors the most famous American musical hero, Alton Glenn Miller, in his birthplace of Clarinda. The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra (GMO) will perform two different concerts during the festival. Always a favorite around the globe, the orchestra keeps the Miller tradition alive. GMO is the most sought-after big band and under the direction of Nick Hilscher, GMO concerts are on Friday, June 14 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, June 15 at 4:30 p.m.. Each concert will highlight Glenn Millers popular tunes and some of the lesser known and seldom heard songs, with different songs performed in each concert. Tom Daughertys skills as a bandleader, solo trombonist and musical arranger have resulted in the Tom Daugherty Orchestra (TDO) soaring to new heights, performing his arrangements and transcriptions of the original big band swing music arrangements. He has been the musical director and driving force behind the Tom Daugherty Orchestra since its inception. There are four opportunities to join the Tom Daugherty Orchestra in salutes to Glenn Miller at the festival. The Tribute to Glenn Miller Civilian Band will occur at 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 13. On Friday, June 14 at 3:30 p.m., the band will provide Tribute to Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band, performing the original AAF music arrangements. Saturday, June 15, 7 a.m. at the Big Band Breakfast will nd the Tom Daugherty Orchestra featuring Big Band Legends. Then at 8 p.m. Saturday evening, join Glenn Miller Live from the Caf Rouge at the Big Band Dance. With the original Caf Rouge bandstands, TDO will feature some of the original musical arrangements only heard on radio broadcasts. New to the festival this year is The Honeybee Trio. Singing classics from the 1930s and beyond in tight, three-part harmony with an emphasis on the 1930s and 40s Swing Era, these three young ladies perform in the Andrew Sisters style and have developed a devoted following. The nature of the songs in their repertoire results in active military and veterans groups requesting the vocalists to perform. They have formed a close association with Travis Air Force Base where they have appeared several times at the base commanders retirement party, a Welcome Home Warriors event, the Skies Over Solano airshow and a VIP reception for General Raymond Johns, Commander, Air Mobility Command. They have had the honor of meeting the First Lady, performing for Admiral Papp, Commandant of the Coast Guard during commissioning of the USCGC Stratton and entertaining on the historic USS Hornet three times. These talented women have sung and danced at San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders games and performed the national anthem to open a San

ISU FARM expanding across state

A pilot program that helps farmers conduct research in their own elds has been so popular that it is expanding across the state. ISU FARM, which stands for Farmer Assisted Research and Management, was the brainchild of the Northwest Iowa Experimental Association, the owner of the farm in OBrien county that Iowa State operates for research and demonstration. It originated in 2006 as the Northwest Iowa On-farm Research working with farmers in that part of the state. Last year there were more than 130 research trials conducted by 78 farmer-cooperators, including projects looking into droughttolerant corn hybrids, sulfur fertilizer use in corn and soybeans, planting cover crops and soybean row spacing. A free report of the projects results is available at: https://store.extension.iastate.edu/ ItemDetailaspx?ProductID=13990 There are about 160 trials planned in 28 counties across Iowa this year. Since the program was created, Josh Sievers, the Northwest Research and Demonstration Farms superintendent, and Joel DeJong, the extension agronomist in that area, have worked with farmers to set up research trials and collect and analyze data for the experiments. Its based on relationships with farmers. The research farms serve as hubs or logistical locations to connect with the cooperating farmers. The concept also is based on extensions proven track record of technical expertise, said Mark Honeyman, coordinator of the ISU Research and Demonstration Farms. The Iowa Soybean Association is a partner in the move to expand FARM across Iowa. It is paying part of the costs for adding additional research specialists. Another partner is Dordt College in Sioux Center, which is doing research at its farm location with ISU help. Several agricultural suppliers and organizations also participate with in-kind contributions. Long-time employees of Ringgold county were recently honored for their years of service to the county. Kent Trullinger (left) was cited for 30 years of service while Dredge was recognized for 40 years. (Danny Straight, not pictured, was also honored for his years of service.)

Freshman Levi Jarred was 2-2 at bat, with two RBIs and scoring one run. Schnoor was 2-3, with one double and three RBIs, and Zane Sickels had a double to round out the offensive game for the night. Our defense did a good job with minimizing errors and making big plays to keep Nishnabotna from scoring late in the game, which proved to be the critical factor in the Mount Ayr victory, said Rinehart.

Recent Mount Ayr graduate Braydee Poore has signed a national letter of intent and plans to join the track team at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls. Poore holds the school record in the high jump at 6-09 and recently placed second in the event in the state track and eld championships. Poore, an all-around athlete, was named all-conference in both football and basketball, where he is only the second Raider to break 1,000 points in his career.

Sports
The Mount Ayr middle school baseball teams returned to action this week with games against East Union. Lenox and Southwest Valley (Corning). The contest with Bedford was rained out and has been rescheduled for June 27. East Union Tristan Holmes twirled a twohit shutout, 1-0, in the A game. He struck out six on the way to the win on June 4. The Raiders collected only three hits, one each by Braydon Swank, Tristan Ackley and Holmes. Swank scored the Raiders lone run. Hats off to Tristan Holmes, said coach Joe Catanzareti. He pitched a great game today. Our defense came up with some nice plays to seal the win. This was a game dominated by the pitchers. The A team moved to 2-0 on the young season. In the B game, the Raiders came up on the short end of a 5-4 score. Dillon McAlexander and Cole Paxson shared the pitching chores, combining for ve strikeouts. Together they did a nice job and got some valuable experience, commented coach David Showalter. Offensive leaders were Paxson with a single and a run scored, Marcus Daughton with a double, Holmes with a run scored, Hunter Wilson with a single and run scored and Bradley Wurster with a run scored. The weather was bad for both teams, said Showalter. We played pretty well and gained some experience that will pay off later. The B team record is even at 1-1. Lenox The Rebel Raiders split their games against Lenox with the A team winning 8-3 and the B team losing 6-4. Tristen Ackley again recorded the win, allowing only four hits and striking out ve. Offensively, Ackley doubled, singled and scored two runs. Zach Murphy stroked two singles and scored three runs. Dillon McAlexander also recorded two singles and drove in one run. Jacob McCreary drove in two runs with his single, while Cal Daughton also tallied an RBI and scored one run. Mitchell Jennett singled and scored a run. Braydon Swank recored a single and Tristan Holmes scored one run. We hit the ball hard today and ran the bases well, said coach Catanzareti. Tristan Ackley was great. He threw strikes and the rest of the team played well defensively. In the B game, the Raiders played well but fell just short, 6-4. Braydon Swank and Lucas Wurster both saw action on the mound. On offense Lucas Wurster picked up two singles, Braydon Swank had a single and an RBI, Zach Murphy ripped a triple and scored two runs, Hunter Wilson scored a run, Jacob McCreary had a single and two RBIs, Bradley Wurster had a single and scored a run and Dillon McAlexander had a single and a run scored. We made a few elding errors and walked too many batters today, said coach David Showalter. These things happen and well get better. It was a pretty good effort by our kids. Southwest Valley (Corning) The Rebel Raiders picked up a pair of wins against Corning with the A team winning 14-3 and the B team posting a 9-7 victory. The A game was over early as the Raiders scored nine runs in the rst two innings and cruised to a 14-3 victory. The Raiders A team is now 4-0 for the season. Tristan Holmes pitched a complete game and overpowered the Corning hitters all day. Offensively for the Raiders Braydon Swank scored two runs and had an RBI, Tristan Holmes had a single and scored a run and Zach Murphy had a single and scored three runs. Tristen Ackley

State rodeo champions

Riley Weehler (left) and his partner Payden Dawson won the state championship in the team roping competition in the Iowa high school rodeo nals held recently in Waterloo. They now advance to the national rodeo nals in Wyoming in July. Weehler is the son of Neil and Jill Weehler of Maloy.

DNR conducting annual spotlight deer survey

Its well after dark when a vehicle slowly drives along a gravel road. Inside, both driver and passenger, with spotlight and binoculars in hand, are looking for deer. Normally this would set off alarm bells for the local game warden. But in this instance, the game warden could be in the drivers seat. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources conducts its nighttime spotlight survey for deer and raccoons each spring before trees leaf out. The survey purpose is to estimate deer densities and count raccoons, coyotes, house cats, jackrabbits, bobcats, badgers, skunks, opossums, foxes or other furbearers along dened routes across Iowa. The data is used to follow trends in deer numbers, said Chris Jennelle, biometrician with the DNRs Wildlife Bureau. It is used for tracking as an index in conjunction with other information like harvest surveys and the bow hunter survey. The spotlight survey has been completed for decades and is an important element of our management plan. This year, the survey may shed some light on the impact of last years EHD outbreak on the deer herd. In conjunction with information such as hunter harvest, this survey will help us gauge where our deer herd is after the outbreak, Janelle said. Each county has two randomly selected 20-25 mile long routes that are driven when the wind is less than 15 miles per hour, there is no fog or rain, and temperatures are above freezing. It takes four to six hours to complete each survey.

CRP aids pheasant population

Most soil rental rates have recently increased making a contract for the 45th general Conservation Reserve Program a more attractive option for Iowa landowners. For landowners who were hit hard by recent rains, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of substantially higher rental rates in most counties and solve an erosion problem at the same time, said Todd Bogenschutz, the DNRs state pheasant biologist. Bogenschutz encourages landowners to stop by their local USDA Farm Service Agency ofce to sign up for the general CRP on or before June 14. There are many seeding options available. Landowners who want to help upland bird populations or want to increase turkey on their property can contact a DNR biologist or forester. Staff from DNR can help landowners determine the kinds of plantings that will meet their specic goals wildlife, woodland or other goals. Putting environmentally sensitive land in CRP also improves wildlife habitat, helps water quality and decreases soil erosion, he added.

Yard and Garden: Irises

Available in nearly every color, bearded iris is a beautiful spring ower. Gardeners with questions about irises and other garden plants may contact horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach at Hortline, hortline@iastate.edu or 515-2943108. My bearded irises are no longer blooming well. Why? The bearded irises may need to be divided. Bearded irises should be divided every three to ve years, as the plants quickly become overcrowded and dont bloom well. July or August is the best time to dig, divide and transplant bearded irises. Lack of sunlight could be another possibility. Bearded irises bloom best in full sun (plants need at least six hours of direct sun per day for best owering). Plants in partial shade may not bloom well and should be transplanted to a sunny site. When and how do you divide bearded irises? While bearded irises are easyto-grow perennials, they need to be divided every three to ve years. If not divided, plants become overcrowded and ower production decreases. Crowded plants are also more prone to disease problems. In Iowa, July or August is the best time to dig, divide and transplant bearded irises. Bearded irises grow from thick, underground stems called rhizomes. Carefully dig up the iris clumps with a spade. Cut back the leaves to one-third their original height. Wash the soil from the rhizomes and roots with a steady stream of water. Then cut the rhizomes apart with a sharp knife. Each division should have a fan of leaves, a healthy rhizome and several large roots. Discard all diseased or insect damaged rhizomes. Bearded irises perform best in fertile, well-drained soils and full sun. In clay soils, incorporate

Extension News & Notes

Judy Hensley
compost, sphagnum peat moss or well-rotted barnyard manure into the soil prior to planting. When planting bearded irises, dig a hole large enough to accommodate the rhizome and roots. Build a mound in the center of the hole. Place a rhizome on top of the mound and spread the roots in the surrounding trench. Then cover with soil. When planted, the rhizome should be just below the soil surface. Finally, water each plant thoroughly. To obtain a good ower display, plant at least three rhizomes of one variety in a group. Space the rhizomes 12 to 24 inches apart. How can I control the iris borer? The iris borer is a serious pest of bearded irises. The mature stage of the iris borer is a grayish moth. Female moths lay eggs on iris foliage and other nearby plants in late summer/early fall. The eggs hatch the following spring. The small larvae (caterpillars) bore their way into the iris foliage and feed on leaf tissue. Over time, the larvae tunnel down through the leaves and into the rhizomes. The caterpillars continue to feed inside the rhizomes and eventually destroy much of it. When fully grown, the larvae move into the soil and pupate. Adults (moths) emerge in late summer. Bacterial soft rot often invades rhizomes damaged by iris borers. Rhizomes infected with bacte-

rial soft rot become soft and foulsmelling. Iris borers can be controlled by sanitation and the timely application of insecticides. Remove and destroy dead iris foliage in late fall or early spring. This will eliminate many of the iris borer eggs. An insecticide should be applied in spring when the new shoots are 4 to 6 inches tall. An application of an insecticide at this time should destroy small iris borer larvae before they have the opportunity to bore into the iris foliage. Products that contain carbaryl, permethrin, acephate or spinosad should be effective. As always, carefully read and follow label directions when using pesticides.

Ringgold County Supervisors

Proceedings

Superintendent Wise Report: A clarication as to the hours to empty RVs at the new dump station was requested with council members stating the hours posted would stand (between the hours of 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday); electric at park is up and going following the disconnection situation; an estimate from Schaefer Excavating for tubing work to adjust storm water in the Adams, Madison and Gareld Streets area was discussed. Wise stressed the importance of completing this to avoid deterioration of Gareld Street which is slated for resurfacing this month; re hydrant suppliers are being contacted for price comparisons; the CCR (Water Quality Report) has been completed and will be published this week; fence along the north side of the Old Lake roadway to be completed this week; Ringgold county declared disaster so FEMA relief may be possible for work on Columbus and Tyler Streets; crew attending training classes June 4, 5 and 6; Patrick Smith and Lynn Rinehart started to work, and received two semi loads of garbage totes with nal to two loads to come this week. City attorney Richard Wilson advised Wise to inform Susan Kinney that she would need to comply with all provisions set out in the Subdivision Ordinance following her inquiry about what steps would be necessary for her to sell a lot in her subdivision that was not platted with the original six. Councilman Mathany left the meeting early at 7 p.m. and councilman Ricker arrived to the meeting shortly thereafter at 7:08 p.m. On the matter of employee work crew request to wear shorts, mayor Solliday thought it should be at the discretion of the supervisor. Superintendent Wise had invested the matter through OSHA and interpreted the ruling to as workers will wear suf-

June 3, 2013 The Ringgold County Board of Supervisors met in regular session Monday, June 3, 2013. The meeting was called to order at 9 a.m. with the following members present: David Inloes, Royce Dredge and Kraig Pennington. A motion was made by Kraig Pennington and seconded by Royce Dredge to approve the agenda. AYES: Unanimous. NAYS: None. A motion was made by Royce Dredge and seconded by Kraig Pennington to approve the previous minutes. AYES: Unanimous. NAYS: None. Payroll checks will be issued Wednesday, June 5, 2013. Vicki Hodge with the Rural Iowa Crisis Center (RICC) met with the board to discuss funding for scal year 2014. Hodge reported the Rural Iowa Crisis Center will close sometime late this summer. She thought Ringgold county would be served by the Adel Program. The Council Bluffs Program will provide shelter services Hodge added. The county allocated $2,000 for this program for scal year 2014. Hodge is requesting the amount be provided even though the program will be dissolved. She said these funds are necessary for staff wages as services still have to be provided through the end of June and there is a process to closing out the program. Pennington feels the county should support this request. Sheriff Mike Sobotka is worried about giving $2,000 in one month. What happens when Adel asks for money? Sobotka asked. Sobotka feels it should be prorated so the balance can be distributed to the new organization. Inloes feels the county will be reimbursed the funds through the transition grant that has been applied for by the RICC. Dredge asked what will happen if all counties choose not to appropriate the funds. Hodge mentioned all services by the organization would cease on June 30. Dredge is concerned the county will not get the funds back. Pennington feels the board should distribute the full amount with the idea of being reimbursed. County engineer Zach Gunsolley met with the board to provide secondary roads updates. Gunsolley received verbal conrmation that the county is declared for FEMA funding. However, he has not seen ofcial paperwork. Gunsolley said he hopes to receive notice this week. The board and Gunsolley discussed the option of hiring a roads superintendent. Everyone agrees this is a needed position. The board feels by creating this position assistance will be provided for Gunsolley and allow for more efciency in the eld. Further discussion will take place at a later meeting. The board and Gunsolley discussed road striping and lighting. Inloes and Dredge feel it is not necessary to spend funds on striping. Pennington would like to center stripe roads that the county is not currently repairing in a band aide manner. Gunsolley feels it would be more pertinent to spend that money on a roads superintendent than striping roads. It was mentioned to hire a seasonal employee in the winter to assist in pushing snow as opposed to hiring an additional employee. Gunsolley reported priorities may change this summer if FEMA comes in. Dredge would like to see Gunsolley purchase rock chips for the sealcoat process to have them on hand. Gunsolley is hesitant as he may need those funds to cash ow FEMA projects assuming approved. Dredge asked if the quarry requests payment at time of pick-up or if can pay at a later date once FEMA funding arrives. Gunsolley will look into this. RESOLUTION RC13111 WHEREAS, the Ringgold County Board of Supervisors hereby approves the allocation of the FY2014 funds on July 10, 2013 for the Rural Iowa Crisis Center with the intent of being repaid by the transition grant. THEREFORE, a motion was made by Kraig Pennington and seconded by Royce Dredge stating such. The vote on the resolution: AYES: Unanimous. NAYS: None. ATTEST: Amanda Waske, auditor. Passed and approved June 3, 2013. RESOLUTION RC13112 WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has instructed the county engineer to make cuts in the FY2014 budget and, WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has directed the secondary roads department to make sealcoating rock patches on sealcoat roads and more rock on rock roads department priorities and, WHEREAS, the grassroots public initiative for bringing a second bond question before voters to improve county roads appears to have stalled, and

WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors was going to provide the secondary roads department nearly $500,000 of additional funding by raising property taxes to be used on county roads but was met with opposition by taxpayers at the budget hearing and therefore the Board of Supervisors decided not to provide the secondary roads department this additional funding and left property taxes at their current levels, and WHEREAS, the secondary roads department has cataloged approximately $1,000,000 of ood damage from this springs ooding, and WHEREAS, the IDOTs funding to Ringgold county for state roads it transferred to counties and cities was only available for 10 years and is ending June 30, 2013 and will now redistribute this funding to all counties and cities, regardless if they received state roads or not, and WHEREAS, IDOT ofcials conrmed the county engineers research that MUTCD standards do not require any striping for rural highways with Ringgold county trafc levels. MUTCD does provide guidance that centerline striping should be provided for rural collectors with ADT 3000, but most Ringgold county roads have trafc counts only 10 to 20 percent of that amount (MUTCD Chp 3B.01, 3B.06, 5E.02, and 5E.03), and WHEREAS, the county engineer has used engineering judgment to conclude that the current condition of rock, sealcoat and paved road surfaces in the county have immediate safety hazards on the road such as ruts and lack of rock on rock roads, potholes and rutting and rock patches on sealcoat roads, and road buckles and potholes on paved roads that pose greater and more immediate safety hazards to the traveling public than lack of striping on paved roads, and WHEREAS, the county engineer stated that some sealcoat roads have higher trafc counts than some paved roads and the sealcoat roads have never been striped, even though sealcoat roads are generally more dangerous than paved roads because of characteristics such as their narrow road tops and generally less passing sight distance, and WHEREAS, the county engineer stated concern that there was possible liability exposure for the county taxpayer that only two intersections in the entire county have lighting, even though some other intersections throughout the county have higher trafc counts, higher density of poorly visible horse-drawn carriages, poor stopping sight distance or located on curves, and NOW THEREFORE, the board of supervisors hereby suspends striping county highways and lighting of intersections until such time where state and/or local funding to the secondary roads department increases enough to result in signicant improvements in safety to the countys road users by restoring the road surfaces to an acceptable condition. THEREFORE, a motion was made by Royce Dredge and seconded by Kraig Pennington stating such. The vote on the resolution: AYES: Unanimous. NAYS: None. ATTEST: Amanda Waske, auditor. Passed and approved June 3, 2013. There was no further business. A motion was made by Royce Dredge and seconded by Kraig Pennington to adjourn the meeting at 3:15 p.m. David Inloes Chairman ATTEST: AMANDA WASKE Ringgold County Auditor
