Workshops help Iowa vineyards<br />

By Ken Ross<br />

<strong>Graphic</strong>-<strong>Advocate</strong> Editor<br />

An important learning center for<br />

the developing Iowa grape growing<br />

business is the vineyards of Richard<br />

Black near Farnhamville, 3228<br />

Xenia Ave.<br />

Black has been hosting Viticulture<br />

workshops of the Northwest Iowa<br />

Grape Growers Association for<br />

about nine years.<br />

“I think we’ve got one of the<br />

strongest workshop programs that<br />

we’ve ever had,” said Black, who<br />

besides being a grower of wine<br />

grapes is a retired professor of<br />

art and an internationally known<br />

printmaker.<br />

At its Feb. 14 meeting, the Calhoun<br />

County Board of Supervisors<br />

approved a request by Randy Baird<br />

of Union State Bank to enter into a<br />

lease allowing the bank to place a<br />

satellite communication disk on the<br />

roof of the courthouse.<br />

Baird explained that the small disk<br />

presentations and demonstrations.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a lot of hands-on learning,”<br />

Black said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> workshops start with<br />

registration at 8:30 a.m., and the<br />

program at 9 a.m. with lunch and<br />

wine tasting at 11:30 a.m. Black said<br />

there is no need to register before the<br />

day of the workshop. A person can<br />

simply show up and participate.<br />

of merging with the Union Bank.<br />

He said the dish would also need<br />

to be connected to the courthouse<br />

power supply and that the power<br />

for a month would be no more than<br />

$12, that being on the high side of<br />

probable power expense.<br />

Fire in RC<br />

<strong>The</strong> Rockwell City Fire Department responded to a structure fi re at 860 Court Street on Saturday,<br />

Feb. 11, at approximately 1:50 a.m. Rockwell City Police Offi cer Mike Anderson noticed smoke<br />

pouring out of the apartment building and reported the fi re. Nobody was inside the building at<br />

the time of the fi re. <strong>The</strong> only resident currently living there was building owner, Dusty Seiberling.<br />

Seiberling was out of town at the time of the fi re. Fire department members were on scene until<br />

11:30 a.m. <strong>The</strong> fi re department’s efforts were hampered due to zero degree temperatures during<br />

the early morning hours. <strong>The</strong> structure is considered a total loss. Also assisting at the scene<br />

was the Manson Fire Department, Calhoun County EMS, Rockwell City Police Department,<br />

Calhoun County Sheriff’s Offi ce, and the State Fire Marshal’s Offi ce. Cause of the fi re is still under<br />

investigation. (Photo courtesy of the Rockwell City Fire Department)<br />

Supervisors pass jake brake ordinance<br />

By Ken Ross<br />

<strong>Graphic</strong>-<strong>Advocate</strong> Editor<br />

<strong>The</strong> Calhoun County Board of<br />

Supervisors approved the fi rst<br />

reading of an ordinance restricting<br />

use of engine compression brakes<br />

(jake brakes) causing excessive<br />

noise within a mile of where the new<br />

four-lane section of Highway 20<br />

ends at Highway 4.<br />

<strong>The</strong> supervisors had abandoned a<br />

previous proposal to make the ban<br />

(which affects a type of secondary<br />

brake on semi trucks) a countywide<br />

ordinance. <strong>The</strong> ordinance approved<br />

at the Feb. 14 meeting is specifi c<br />

to an area where residents had<br />

complained about noise.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ordinance does not restrict all<br />

use of jake brakes, only excessively<br />

loud use of jake brakes and<br />

there would be an exemption for<br />

emergency use. It was noted on Feb.<br />

14 and at previous meetings that<br />

the only trucks that are excessively<br />

loud use a straight pipe system that<br />

violates state law already, but local<br />

law enforcement offi cers are not<br />

trained in muffl er system inspection.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ordinance will not go into<br />

effect until after three readings<br />

and signs will be posted prior to<br />

enforcement. Signs where such<br />

an ordinance has been used in<br />

other counties has wording such as<br />

“engine brake ordinance enforced”<br />

rather than giving precise details on<br />

the signs.<br />

Sheriff Bill Davis, who also drives<br />

a truck, said he and his deputies do<br />

not want to harass truck drivers.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> goal is not to hammer people,<br />

the goal is to get the word out,”<br />

Davis said.<br />

Scott Jacobs, supervisor, said he<br />

wanted the signs to be large enough<br />

to be noticed. Most towns, such<br />

as some in Calhoun County, have<br />

similar ordinances, but the signs are<br />

so small that nobody notices them.<br />

Property owners in the area have<br />

been present at meetings to support<br />

an ordinance. One of them, Dave<br />

Gidel, spoke on behalf of a jake<br />

brake ordinance at the Feb. 14<br />

meeting.<br />

“It’s pretty much 24 hours a day,”<br />

Gidel said. He added that he knows<br />

that an ordinance will not eliminate<br />

all the noise but he was told that just<br />

putting up a sign would eliminate<br />

about 60 percent of it.<br />

Other county residents, including<br />

those working for a locally based<br />

trucking fi rm, have opposed the<br />

ordinance, both in its previous<br />

countywide form and in its present<br />

site specifi c form.<br />

One of the primary objections to<br />

the ordinance is that it targets truck<br />

drivers while not restricting other<br />

sources of excessive noise.<br />

“Why is this about jake brakes<br />

and not a noise ordinance?” Tom<br />

Anderson asked. Others in the<br />

audience had similar objections and<br />

noted that motorcycles can often be<br />

heard many miles away.<br />

Another objection was the<br />

vagueness of the wording, with<br />

the term “excessive noise” being a<br />

matter of opinion unless a decibel<br />

level is specifi ed and measured<br />

before issuing a ticket.<br />

Audience members also speculated<br />

that the county was “opening a<br />

can of worms” by specifying this<br />

site which would obligate them to<br />

approve future requests all over the<br />

county.<br />

Regarding the ordinances already<br />

in place in local communities, it was<br />

stated that truck drivers generally<br />

assume that those are in place already<br />

and that truck are at reduced speeds<br />

already in towns so the braking noise<br />

would be less.<br />

Gidel said that if motorcycle noise<br />

or any other noise is a concern, then<br />

anyone concerned could request that<br />

the supervisors take action.<br />

“We’re bringing a recommendation<br />

for an ordinance that we think<br />

addresses a serious problem,” Gidel<br />

said.<br />

Cindy Voorde, county attorney,<br />

noted that many violations of laws<br />

involve a subjective judgment by the<br />

law enforcement offi cer, including<br />

public intoxication, reckless driving<br />

and disorderly conduct.<br />

Voorde said that when a person<br />

refutes a charge, it is up to the<br />

law enforcement offi cer to prove<br />

the charge in court. <strong>The</strong>re were<br />

statements from the audience that<br />

a truck driver from out of the area<br />

would not miss a day of work to<br />

contest a charge in court.<br />

Gary Nicholson, supervisor, said<br />

that if anybody wants a jake brake<br />

ordinance near their property, the<br />

person would need to appear before<br />

the supervisors and go through the<br />

same process. He said approval<br />

would not be automatic and that<br />

the property owner would need to<br />

convince the supervisors that the<br />

problem was at the same level it is at<br />

the intersection of Hwy 4 and Hwy.<br />

20.<br />

Dean Hog, a supervisor<br />

participating by conference call,<br />

said the drivers who were violating<br />

the noise ordinance were probably<br />

already violating state law by not<br />

having the proper equipment.<br />

“All we’re doing is putting a<br />

warning out there not to make<br />

excessive noise,” Hoag said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> motion to pass the ordinance<br />

was approved unanimously.

February 22, 2012<br />

<strong>The</strong>re's a certain power in silence.<br />

In a recent cover article by Time<br />

Magazine, it was pointed out that,<br />

in our world where extroverts, or the<br />

loudest, get the most attention; introverts,<br />

or the quieter people, may<br />

be the better adjusted. Being a cardcarrying<br />

introvert, I like that theory.<br />

Have you ever been in a crowd of<br />

yakking, noisy people and just want<br />

to scream, “Would everyone just<br />

please shut up!”?<br />

<strong>The</strong>re's a rather sexist joke going<br />

around, mostly amongst men, that<br />

women have 10,000 words in them,<br />

and they're not happy until they get<br />

those 10,000 words out. Daily. <strong>The</strong><br />

medical profession tells us that there<br />

may be a good reason for that. It<br />

seems that women have a gland in<br />

their neck that men don't. <strong>The</strong> jaw<br />

action of talking stimulates that<br />

gland, producing endorphins that<br />

make them feel better. Women love<br />

to talk.<br />

I've written about George Helt before.<br />

In 2010, he passed away at the<br />

age of 92. George had an interesting<br />

and eclectic life of farming, photography,<br />

flying model airplanes,<br />

world travel, and love for his family<br />

and friends. In talking to his wife,<br />

Fern, who is 93, another story about<br />

George emerged.<br />

George had a gravely voice and,<br />

yes, he was shy, or introverted. One<br />

morning, when George woke up,<br />

there was blood on his pillow. Fern<br />

made him go to the doctor. <strong>The</strong> doctor<br />

couldn't see anything wrong, so<br />

he sent George to Iowa City. At Iowa<br />

City, the doctors ran a tube down<br />

George's throat, but couldn't see<br />

anything wrong. <strong>The</strong>y advised him<br />

not to talk.<br />

That is just what George did. For<br />

six months! Fern wrote a note for<br />

him that he carried in case someone<br />

came up to him and started talking.<br />

<strong>The</strong> note, in Fern's articulate hand<br />

writing said, “Please excuse me. I<br />

can't talk.”<br />

As I mentioned, George loved to<br />

travel. At the time of the stop-talking<br />

scenario, George had a trip to the<br />

1963 World's Fair in New York City<br />

planned. He was taking his eightyear<br />

old son, Kenneth.<br />

And they went—George not talking<br />

the whole way. George and Ken-<br />

the masses<br />

Mitt Romney went into the<br />

Common Folks Café one morning<br />

recently and introduced himself to<br />

two customers and the waitress -<br />

Tom Tomson, Dick Dickson and<br />

Harriett Harriettson.<br />

Mitt explained that he was<br />

connecting to regular people<br />

in regular towns in his quest to<br />

demonstrate his regularity. Mitt<br />

sat between Tom and Dick at the<br />

counter and Harriett asked whether<br />

Mitt wanted coffee.<br />

“No thank you. I believe I’d like a<br />

mango frappe,” Mitt responded.<br />

“We’re fresh out of mango frappe.<br />

How about orange juice?” she asked.<br />

“Fine, make it a Philippine-Florida<br />

blend, if you don’t mind.”<br />

“No, I don’t mind. That’s all I<br />

drink myself.”<br />

Mitt turned to Tom and asked, “So,<br />

are you eager to start your day of<br />

doing regular work, Tom?”<br />

“Yeah, I can hardly wait to get<br />

started slinging carcasses at the<br />

packing plant.”<br />

“Good, good. And you, Dick, are<br />

you looking forward to your day of<br />

productivity?”<br />

“I just spent an all-nighter in<br />

freezing rain repairing utility lines<br />

and get to go out again after a few<br />

hours rest.”<br />

“Splendid, splendid.”<br />

Harriett brought Mitt a glass of<br />

orange juice.<br />

“Here’s your Philippine-Florida<br />

blend. We’ll have to stock up on<br />

mango frappe for your next visit.”<br />

“Thank you, and how about you,<br />

Harriett, are you content with your<br />

menial yet dignified career choice?”<br />

“Well, you’ll excuse me Mitt if<br />

I don’t feel all that dignified today<br />

after caring for five-year-old twins<br />

who were sick with diarrhea and<br />

nausea all night.”<br />

“What you need is a good live-in<br />

nanny. I know there are some really<br />

reasonably priced ones but you need<br />

to check their immigration papers<br />

real closely,” Mitt said, chuckling<br />

and winking.<br />

“I wouldn’t want to deprive myself<br />

of all the joys of parenthood,”<br />

Harriett said as she walked away to<br />

serve other customers.<br />

“Mitt, what exactly is it you do,<br />

other than run for president?” Tom<br />

asked.<br />

“That’s about it right now. I<br />

worked hard and was frugal so that I<br />

could get an income from dividends<br />

and interest,” Romney said.<br />

“So do you spend a lot of time<br />

managing your investments?” Tom<br />

asked.<br />

“Well, no. For a long time now,<br />

I’ve had my money in a blind trust,<br />

so actually, I can’t manage my<br />

investments.”<br />

We did not have a very good<br />

turnout for our meeting with the<br />

citizens the 21st. <strong>The</strong> only good<br />

thing is we had some very good<br />

breakfast pizza served by Toni at<br />

Coyotes Café.<br />

We finished work on a balanced<br />

budget. This year we lost $10,600.00<br />

in property tax income. This was due<br />

to the rollback change and lowering<br />

of property values for next year. <strong>The</strong><br />

city lost $1,466,889.00 in property<br />

value for 2012-13. We were able<br />

to find a way to cut in certain areas<br />

but still had to increase the special<br />

assessments by about .49 cents per<br />

taxable value of your property. A<br />

$100,000.00 home increases around<br />

$25.00.<br />

We have declared 2 buildings to be<br />

a nuisance and will be working on<br />

the other 5 in the future. If you own<br />

an abandoned house I would suggest<br />

repairing it for habitation, sell it or<br />

tear it down.<br />

We shortened the dates for open<br />

burning but hope to have an area<br />

in town where you can dump the<br />

leaves. <strong>The</strong>re will be a small fee for<br />

a burn permit this year.<br />

As you noticed, we lost 4 trees in<br />

the square. Two have been replanted<br />

already. It was either cut them down<br />

or risk a lawsuit if they fell on a car<br />

or a person. Black ants were eating<br />

the nice looking one by the parking.<br />

What’s Happening<br />

“Don’t you pay like 15 percent<br />

in taxes on millions of dollars in<br />

income?” Dick asked<br />

“Actually, with all my charitable<br />

donations, my take-home pay is only<br />

about 60 percent of what I earn. I<br />

barely have eight-figures to spend<br />

on necessities and a few comforts<br />

each year.”<br />

“So how does a person get enough<br />

money that dividends and interest<br />

bring him an eight-figure annual<br />

income?” Dick asked.<br />

“I provided a valuable service<br />

reorganizing companies that needed<br />

different business plans.”<br />

“Didn’t one company go bankrupt<br />

after your business drained off tens<br />

of millions of dollars in fees?” Tom<br />

asked.<br />

“Well, you win some and some<br />

you don’t win as much.”<br />

“How is going bankrupt winning<br />

anything?” Tom asked.<br />

“Oh, right, the company that went<br />

bankrupt. I guess they didn’t really<br />

win anything. I was talking about<br />

myself. Say, your town here is really<br />

nice. All the trees are just the right<br />

height. You know what I like to do?<br />

I like to sing God Bless America.<br />

Let’s sing all three versus.”<br />

Tom and Dick got up and moved<br />

concern. <strong>The</strong>y do carry more weight<br />

if they are signed. We do not have<br />

the personnel that large cities have<br />

to do various things within the city.<br />

So we need to hire outside help. Our<br />

workers are doing a good job and<br />

will do better in the future. Those<br />

of you that want items painted or<br />

other small projects accomplished,<br />

VOLUNTEER and we will supply<br />

the items needed to “get er done”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> next meeting with the citizens<br />

will be the 28th of February. Come to<br />

the meeting 10 am at Sweet Things.<br />

Why not use the extra day we get<br />

this year for something constructive.<br />

HEALTH & NUTRITION<br />

From Iowa State University Extension<br />

By Holly VanHeel, MHA, RD<br />

Enjoy A Heart Healthy Diet<br />

Use this information as a guide to<br />

help you select heart healthy foods at<br />

the grocery store.<br />

• Produce: Aim for 5 or more<br />

servings of fruits and vegetables<br />

each day to help increase your<br />

soluble fiber<br />

intake. Studies show that doing<br />

so will lower cholesterol levels, help<br />

control blood pressure to lower the<br />

risk for developing heart<br />

disease. For maximum benefits, eat<br />

the skins and choose less processed<br />

varieties.<br />

Top Soluble Fiber Picks: apple<br />

with skin, carrots, orange, pear with<br />

skin, potato with skin<br />

Top Potassium Picks: banana,<br />

baked potato, okra, orange juice,<br />

tomato<br />

Top Antocyanins (blue and<br />

red pigment): blueberries, beets,<br />

cherries, red and blue grapes,<br />

eggplant, red<br />

cabbage, plums<br />

• Fish and Seafood Department:<br />

Aim for 3-5 servings a week. All<br />

are low in fat and calories, and<br />

certain varieties are the best source<br />

of omega-3 essential fats. Omega-3s<br />

will lower triglyceride levels, reduce<br />

blood clot formation and risk of<br />

arrhythmia, stabilize cell membranes<br />

of the heart and improve conduction<br />

of nerve fibers. Fresh and frozen<br />

selections are preferred. Drain, rinse<br />

and choose lower sodium canned<br />

selections to slash excess sodium.<br />

Best Catches: anchovies, herring,<br />

MEAT<br />

USDA Choice<br />

Charcoal<br />

Steaks<br />

Bone-in, Pork<br />

Shoulder<br />

Roast<br />

mackerel, oysters, salmon, sardines,<br />

and white fish<br />

• Plant-based Proteins: Aim for 25<br />

grams soyprotein daily. Studies show<br />

that consuming a lowfat, high-fiber,<br />

plant-based diet including 25 g or<br />

more of soy protein can stop, prevent<br />

and help reverse heart disease. Check<br />

the produce or health food sections<br />

of your store for tofu and the freezer<br />

section for the ‘burgers’ and new<br />

Quorn made from myco-protein,<br />

a derivative of the mushroom family<br />

With all processed foods, watch<br />

sodium content.<br />

Best Bets: all beans, peas and nuts;<br />

tofu; vegetable burgers, “chicken”<br />

patties and nuggets; soy sausage<br />

and bacon; Quorn products. FMI:<br />

www.quorn.com<br />

• Beans, Peas and Grains: Aim<br />

for whole grains. Beans, peas and<br />

grains are concentrated sources of B<br />

vitamins and soluble fiber – which<br />

has been shown to lower cholesterol,<br />

homocysteine and triglyceride levels<br />

– decreasing the risk for developing<br />

heart disease. Dried and frozen<br />

legumes are equally effective. Rinse<br />

and drain canned beans to lower<br />

sodium levels.<br />

Best Bets: all beans, all peas, oats,<br />

barley, brown rice, wild rice.<br />

Nuts and Seeds: Aim for 1-3 oz.<br />

daily worked into a healthful diet.<br />

Nuts and seeds are natural sources<br />

of vitamin E, fiber, plant protein,<br />

magnesium, and potassium – which<br />

are all heart healthy ingredients.<br />

<strong>The</strong> American Heart Association<br />

found almonds, in particular,<br />

3 69<br />

lb.<br />

1 lb.<br />

USDA Choice<br />

Iowa Cut<br />

Top Sirloin<br />

Gold ‘N’ Plump<br />

Cut up<br />

Fryers<br />

favorably affect cholesterol levels<br />

and decrease cardiovascular risks by<br />

30 to 50%. Flaxseeds are the most<br />

concentrated plant source of hearthealthy<br />

omega-3 fatty acids (50%).<br />

Remember to use good portion<br />

control, buy dry roasted versus oil<br />

roasted and keep the salt low. Whole<br />

nuts and seeds keep well at room<br />

temperature in an airtight container<br />

up to one year. Keep ground varieties<br />

in the refrigerator up to 90 days.<br />

Best Bets: almonds, peanuts,<br />

walnuts, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds<br />

• Oils and Spreads: Aim for 3<br />

servings of medicinal margarine<br />

daily. Replacing saturated and<br />

hydrogenated fats with less saturated<br />

fat is more effective in preventing<br />

heart disease than reducing total fat<br />

intake. Medicinal margarine contains<br />

plant sterols to reduce total and LDL<br />

cholesterol levels when consistently<br />

consumed three or more times daily.<br />

If you prefer regular margarine, tub,<br />

whipped and spray margarine are<br />

less saturated than stick.<br />

Good Bets: canola oil; olive oil;<br />

Take Control; Benecol<br />

Better Bets: tub, whipped or spray<br />

margarine<br />

• Dairy: Aim for 2-3 fat-free<br />

servings daily. Choose skim milk or<br />

nonfat, light yogurt for maximum<br />

calcium and minimum sodium.<br />

Dairy products are rich sources of<br />

calcium, magnesium and potassium<br />

for controlling blood pressures.<br />

Best Bets: 1 cup skim milk; fat-free<br />

ricotta cheese; light, nonfat yogurt<br />

Here’s How It Works:<br />

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes.<br />

To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each row, column<br />

and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box.<br />

You can fi gure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the<br />

numeric clues already provided in the boxes. <strong>The</strong> more numbers you name,<br />

the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!<br />

Mid-Iowa Insurance<br />

Adds New Company<br />

Total Weather Insurance (TWI) is<br />

helping Growers Manage Weather<br />

risks.<br />

In 2011, corn and soybean growers<br />

shared a common hurdle-extreme<br />

weather. From fl ooded fi elds to<br />

extended dry periods and from cold<br />

spring temperatures to heat stress,<br />

all varieties of extreme weather left<br />

their mark on yields and, ultimately,<br />

grower profi ts. This season <strong>The</strong><br />

Climate Corporation released<br />

enhanced products: Total Weather<br />

Insurance (TWI) Corn 2012TM<br />

and TWI Soybean 2012 TM which<br />

provide unprecedented protection<br />

for growers against extreme weather.<br />

TWI is based on target production.<br />

<strong>The</strong> product helps growers by<br />

insuring against bad weather that can<br />

cause yield shortfalls, and is designed<br />

to pay out for weather events at<br />

higher yields and more frequently<br />

than federal crop insurance. With<br />

TWI, payouts are based solely on<br />

occurrence of adverse weather;<br />

no documentation is required and<br />

payouts are independent of MPCI<br />

claims.<br />

Based on your location and crop,<br />

TWI may include coverage for the<br />

below perils:<br />

• Planting Rain protects<br />

against excessive precipitation that<br />

can delay timely planting and other<br />

fi eldwork.<br />

• Drought with Soil Moister<br />

Tracker TM protects against<br />

depleted soil moister that can limit<br />

reproductive success and yields.<br />

• Daytime Heat Stress<br />

protects against hot days that can<br />

reduce crop growth and result in<br />

yield loss.<br />

• Nighttime Heat Stress<br />

protects against warm nights that<br />

may result in diminished kernel<br />

growth due to increased respiration.<br />

• Excess Rain with Soil<br />

Moisture Tracker TM protects<br />

against excessive local rainfall that<br />

Kelly Walker of Des Moines was<br />

guest speaker at the Feb. 6 meeting<br />

of Signet Chapter No. 1, Order of the<br />

Eastern Star, at the Carroll Masonic<br />

Temple.<br />

Miss Walker chairs the Iowa<br />

Grand Chapter’s “Pathways” Lung<br />

Cancer Education project and also<br />

is a Past Grand Adah. Lung Cancer<br />

Education is the primary project of<br />

Iowa Grand Chapter this year. She<br />

cited as the top 5 causes of non-small<br />

cell lung cancer: smoking, radon,<br />

asbestos, radiation to the chest; and<br />

genetic factors. Her talk focused<br />

upon radon, a colorless, odorless and<br />

radioactive gas that forms naturally<br />

from the decay of radioactive<br />

elements found at different levels<br />

in soils and rocks throughout the<br />

world. After the meeting, members<br />

were given opportunity to purchase<br />

radon detecting kits, as a Grand<br />

Chapter fund-raising project.<br />

can lead to standing water with<br />

starves the crop of oxygen and<br />

promotes disease.<br />

• Early Fall Freeze protects<br />

against early fall freeze events that<br />

may damage plans before full yield<br />

potential is realized.<br />

TWI 2012 Program<br />

Enhancements<br />

<strong>The</strong> Climate Corporation has<br />

continued to invest deeply in research<br />

and development focused on the<br />

interaction between meteorological<br />

events and production agriculture.<br />

This investment has resulted in new<br />

features and coverage available<br />

to growers: TWI 2012 delivers<br />

protection with enhancements in two<br />

key areas:<br />

Precision Rain falls Grids TM<br />

• 2.5 x 2.5 mile rainfall grids<br />

– over 800,000 grids nationwide.<br />

• 25 times more granular<br />

rainfall measurement that TWI 2011<br />

• Powered by National<br />

Weather Service Doppler radar data<br />

that takes readings up to 1,300 times<br />

per second<br />

Soil Moisture Tracker TM<br />

• Daily assessment of<br />

excess rain and drought conditions<br />

throughout the growing season.<br />

• Estimates the amount of<br />

water entering the soil each day<br />

through rainfall and the amount<br />

of water leaving the soil each<br />

day though plant water use and<br />

evaporation for each Precision<br />

Rainfall Grid<br />

• Utilizes an ultra-high<br />

resolution agronomic database that<br />

describes soil type and soil depth for<br />

every 30 x 30 foot land grid across<br />

the continental United States.<br />

Love burgers? Nominate one<br />

to be Iowa’s Best Burger!<br />

Ames, Iowa– Iowa burger lovers<br />

are encouraged to join this year’s<br />

quest for Iowa’s Best Burger.<br />

Almost every Iowa restaurant,<br />

whether it’s the neighborhood Mom<br />

and Pop joint, or an exclusive white<br />

table cloth establishment, has some<br />

variation of the hamburger on their<br />

menu. So for the third year, the<br />

Iowa Cattlemen’s Association and<br />

the Iowa Beef Industry Council are<br />

kicking off their search for Iowa’s<br />

Best Burger.<br />

Today’s offi cial kickoff is taking<br />

place at the Iowa Beef Expo on<br />

the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des<br />

Moines, and will continue through<br />

March 16.<br />

“We’re looking for the best burger<br />

served in an Iowa restaurant,” said<br />

Elaine Utesch, a Correctionville<br />

farmer who is chairman of the Iowa<br />

Beef Industry Council. Utesch, who<br />

is both a cow-calf producer and<br />

cattle feeder, said the entries need<br />

to be 100% beef burgers. “Although<br />

burgers are often standard fare,<br />

we know from experience that<br />

the winners of this contest serve<br />

fabulous burgers. <strong>The</strong>re’s nothing<br />

standard about them.”<br />

in West Des Moines Feb. 2-3 for<br />

the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation<br />

(IFBF) Speaker Corps. Members<br />

Opportunity Living is pleased to<br />

announce it will once again hold its<br />

annual Friend, Donor, & Volunteer<br />

Appreciation and Egg…Stravaganza<br />

on Saturday April 7th. Last year,<br />

Opportunity introduced the build-a<br />

basket silent auction and there were<br />

45 Easter baskets built and donated<br />

for the occasion. Everyone who<br />

participated had a great time creating<br />

and bidding on baskets. This year<br />

Opportunity Living is again inviting<br />

businesses, organizations and<br />

individuals to create and donate a<br />

basket for the auction. It is suggested<br />

the basket be at least a $25 value. Let<br />

your creative juices fl ow and build<br />

a basket which refl ects your own<br />

personality or a theme basket that<br />

fi ts your business or organization.<br />

<strong>The</strong> variety of baskets is part of what<br />

makes the event so much fun.<br />

Baskets should be completed by<br />

March 26th and taken to Opportunity<br />

and nomination procedures<br />

are on the Iowa Beef Industry<br />

Council’s website, www.iabeef.<br />

org. Nominations can also be made<br />

through the Iowa Beef Industry<br />

Council’s Facebook page.<br />

Utesch noted that restaurants<br />

are a valuable partner to the beef<br />

industry. “<strong>The</strong>y do a tremendous<br />

job of preparing and serving our<br />

beef products in delicious and<br />

creative ways. <strong>The</strong> burger is the all–<br />

American classic, and restaurants<br />

have done an excellent job in giving<br />

customers lots of choices when they<br />

order it.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> more nominations a burger<br />

receives, the better are the chances<br />

that it will be on the top 10 list<br />

announced in late March. Finalists<br />

will receive a certifi cate and be<br />

eligible for the secret taste-test of<br />

contest judges. <strong>The</strong> winner will be<br />

announced the fi rst week of May to<br />

kick-off Beef Month.<br />

Last year, 275 restaurants were<br />

named by 3500 nominations. <strong>The</strong><br />

winner was the Rusty Duck in<br />

Dexter, while Sac County Cattle<br />

Company of Sac City won the<br />

inaugural event in 2010.<br />

today’s farmers. Training covered<br />

media pitching, writing letters to the<br />

editor, presentation, social media and<br />

high-pressure on-camera television<br />

interviewing skills.<br />

“Farmers know they’ve got to<br />

show consumers who they are by<br />

broadening their reach with media<br />

and consumer groups. Building<br />

confi dence and providing tools<br />

to make that connection is the<br />

foundation of our training,” said<br />

Johns.<br />

<strong>The</strong> group also met with Des<br />

Moines Register Editorial Page<br />

Editor Randy Evans and Betsy<br />

Freese, a writer, editor and blogger<br />

for the Meredith Corporation’s<br />

“Living the Country Life.”<br />

While Speaker Corps training is<br />

held annually, Johns and Lilienthal<br />

provide customized training sessions<br />

for Farm Bureau counties, schools<br />

and organizations throughout the<br />

year.<br />

SUNNYVIEW<br />

Thank you to Jo Ann Maguire for<br />

this report. “When I walk into the<br />

‘Great Room’ at Sunnyview I look,<br />

in awe, at the very tall cornstalk<br />

plant on the north wall. It is at the<br />

edge of one of the beautiful large<br />

windows. It has been secured with<br />

a heavy string to help it stay upright,<br />

due to the height. With the help of<br />

Ted we measured the height at 10 ft.<br />

Amazing!<br />

<strong>The</strong> plant was given in memory<br />

of resident Carolyn Rodewald in<br />

2006. It was 2008 when Carene<br />

took a slip off the original plant to<br />

start a new one. She uses rain water<br />

and a touch of ‘Miracle Grow’ to<br />

work her magic. A year ago John<br />

helped her repot the corn stalk in a<br />

larger container with fresh soil. This<br />

story would not be complete without<br />

saying there are many green plants<br />

in the room. Not only do they help<br />

purify the air but they add a beauty<br />

that only a real, live, green plant can<br />

do. Thanks, Carene, for your ‘green<br />

thumb!’”<br />

Thank you to Jo Fickbohm,<br />

president of the Sunnyview resident’s<br />

group, for this report. “Sunnyview<br />

residents were entertained by Peggy<br />

Neubaum’s third grade students<br />

at 12:45 p.m. on Valentine’s Day.<br />

Around 40 kids did several group<br />

readings that pertained to Valentine’s<br />

Day. <strong>The</strong>y did a very good job and<br />

it is always refreshing to watch them<br />

perform. Thank you, young-uns!”<br />

Jo’s report continues. “Hall 1,<br />

consisting of Jo Fickbohm , Betty<br />

June Lindy, Jean Christensen, and<br />

Helen Huey, hosted a Valentine party<br />

on Feb. 14th for the residents. Fortyone<br />

resident s were in attendance.<br />

<strong>The</strong> theme of the party was ‘Let’s<br />

get acquainted.’ Two days before<br />

the party, questions were drawn at<br />

random from a hat. <strong>The</strong>se questions<br />

were about incidents or memories<br />

of the resident’s lives in the past.<br />

Some questions were very practical<br />

such as ‘How many different cars<br />

have you owned and which was<br />

your favorite?’ While others were<br />

more on the humorous side, such as,<br />

‘What is your earliest memory of a<br />

bath and did you have to share the<br />

water with others?’<br />

Some residents were a little<br />

apprehensive about using the<br />

audio system and talking on the<br />

microphone. One resident was<br />

overheard saying ‘Maybe we should<br />

rent a limo and get out of town so<br />

we don’t have to do it.’ Several<br />

others piped up and said “We’ll<br />

go with you.” As it turned out,<br />

everyone co-operated and took their<br />

turn speaking and it was a very<br />

entertaining evening. We did get<br />

better acquainted, as we learned<br />

about Jeanie Warneke’s ‘most hated<br />

road trip’ and Pauline Walters’<br />

‘scariest thing that ever happened to<br />

her.’ Thanks to everyone for your<br />

answers, you made the evening<br />

enjoyable and we had several good<br />

laughs.<br />

Homemade cake, soda, and coffee<br />

were served by Clarice Martz<br />

and Jean Christensen. Residents<br />

stayed a while after the program to<br />

reminisce and discuss some of the<br />

topics related to the questions that<br />

were asked earlier. Our next group<br />

activity is to be held in March by<br />

Hall 5. We are all looking forward<br />

to it.”<br />

SHADY OAKS<br />

One of the Shady Oaks’ residents’<br />

favorite activities is BINGO, which<br />

is held every Monday afternoon<br />

with volunteer Vicki Keonin.<br />

Two regular games of BINGO are<br />

played, followed by a game of<br />

BLACKOUT. This is no regular<br />

game of BLACKOUT though, as<br />

the winner gets a traveling BINGO<br />

trophy to keep until the next<br />

week! Other prizes for BINGO<br />

games are all edible, ranging from<br />

Cheetos, to candy bars, etc. <strong>The</strong>med<br />

BINGO games such as “CUPID” or<br />

“LUCKY” Bingo are held throughout<br />

the year as well. Pictured as our most<br />

recent BLACKOUT winner is Steve<br />

Rench. Steve has won two weeks in<br />

a row and felt very “lucky.” Lucky<br />

enough, in fact that he decided to<br />

purchase a Powerball ticket. His<br />

luck continued when he guessed the<br />

correct Powerball number “10” and<br />

Steve Rench<br />

received a free ticket. <strong>The</strong> next ticket<br />

unfortunately, was not a winner.<br />

How exciting that he is able to brag<br />

on his short winning streak though!<br />

Congrats Steve!<br />

SUNNY<br />

KNOLL<br />

This week at Sunny Knoll we<br />

started our week off right with<br />

Bingo and Spa Day. On Tuesday<br />

we had a wonderful Valentines Day<br />

party. That morning we made marsh<br />

mellow pops. If you have never<br />

made this I recommend it! <strong>The</strong>y<br />

are so easy and yummy! We served<br />

the marshmallow pops and cookies<br />

as well as punch at the party. A co<br />

worker even let us borrow her punch<br />

fountain which added a nice touch.<br />

We crowned Gary Johnson as our<br />

king and Bertha Ewing as our queen.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were both very surprised but<br />

pleased. On Wednesday we enjoyed<br />

a day of devotionals and Bible<br />

study. Thursday we got together for<br />

coupon club. If you can believe it we<br />

even have a couple guys that join<br />

us! Thursday afternoon I had a good<br />

group of ladies making bracelets.<br />

<strong>The</strong> popular colors seemed to be red<br />

and pink. Friday was full of social<br />

fun. Friday morning is always Men’s<br />

coffee and Friday afternoon is spent<br />

talking with friends over a bowl<br />

of ice cream. We hope everyone<br />

enjoyed their Valentines Day as<br />

much as we did!<br />

St. Anthony Nursing Home<br />

Recognized by U.S. News &<br />

World Report in 2012 Best<br />

Nursing Homes<br />

Washington D.C. – February 7,<br />

2012 – St. Anthony Nursing Home<br />

has received an exceptional, five<br />

star overall ranking in U.S. News &<br />

World Report’s annual Best Nursing<br />

Homes, released today. <strong>The</strong> U.S.<br />

News Ranking of Best Nursing<br />

Homes recognizes top-rated homes<br />

in all 50 states and offers important<br />

guidance to families and healthcare<br />

providers caring for people in need<br />

of a nursing home.<br />

“More than 3 million Americans<br />

will spend part of 2012 in a nursing<br />

home, and trying to decide under<br />

pressure which one is best isn’t<br />

easy,” says Avery Comarow, Health<br />

Rankings Editor. “Top-rated nursing<br />

homes are worth considering and<br />

deserve special recognition.”<br />

U.S. News’s evaluation of nursing<br />

homes is based on data from Nursing<br />

Home Compare, a consumer website<br />

run by the Centers for Medicare and<br />

Medicaid Services. <strong>The</strong> government<br />

agency sets and enforces standards<br />

for nursing homes (defined as<br />

facilities or portions of facilities<br />

enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid<br />

that provide 24-hour nursing care<br />

and other medical services). Homes<br />

earn an overall rating of one to five<br />

stars, as well as up to five stars in<br />

each of three underlying categories:<br />

health inspections, nurse staffing,<br />

and quality of care. U.S. News<br />

updates each nursing home’s ratings<br />

data quarterly.<br />

Of more than 15,500 homes rated<br />

and profiled on the U.S. News<br />

website, St. Anthony Nursing Home<br />

was among the fewer than 1 in 8 that<br />

received a five-star overall rating in<br />

all four quarters of 2011.<br />

Sherry Greteman, St. Anthony<br />

Nursing Home Director, stated,<br />

“This five-star ranking symbolizes<br />

Gridiron Titans honored<br />

Four South Central Calhoun football players who received statewide honors (left to right - Tate Klocke, Keagan Findley, Austin Blair<br />

and Colten Riley) were recently recognized during a basketball game in Lake City. Tate Klocke and Keagan Findley are Iowa Football<br />

Coaches Association Academic All-state recipients. Austin Blair and Colten Riley are All-State players. Riley was named a 2nd Team<br />

LB for both the Des Moines Register and Iowa Newspaper Association. Blair was named a 3rd Team DB for the Iowa Newspaper<br />

Association. (<strong>Graphic</strong>-<strong>Advocate</strong> photo by Teresa Snyder)<br />

Two Wartburg ensembles<br />

performing at regional<br />

choral directors conference<br />

Waverly, Iowa — Two Wartburg<br />

College ensembles will perform at<br />

the regional conference of college<br />

choral directors in Madison. Wis.,<br />

Feb. 10-12<br />

<strong>The</strong> North Central Division of<br />

the American Choral Directors<br />

Association Conference Concerts<br />

will feature the Wartburg Choir and<br />

the Castle Singers jazz ensemble<br />

<strong>The</strong> choir, under the direction of<br />

Dr. Lee Nelson, will be among three<br />

college choirs, a youth choir and a<br />

youth orchestra, performing “To Be<br />

Certain of the Dawn: A Holocaust<br />

Memorial Oratorio,” in the spotlight<br />

concert Friday in the 2,251-seat<br />

Overture Center for the Arts.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Castle Singers jazz ensemble,<br />

under the direction of Dr. Jane<br />

Andrews, will be among 12 groups<br />

performing in individual concerts,<br />

but the only jazz group.<br />

<strong>The</strong> NC ACDA includes choral<br />

programs in Iowa, Minnesota,<br />

Nebraska and the Dakotas. <strong>The</strong><br />

ACDA holds its national conference<br />

in odd-numbered years and has its<br />

seven regional gatherings in evennumbered<br />

years.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> theme of the conference is<br />

‘Beyond the Notes,’” said Nelson,<br />

director of Wartburg choral activities.<br />

“It’s all about the learning process<br />

rather than just the performance<br />

of great music. It’s what’s music<br />

education is really all about. <strong>The</strong><br />

whole conference deals with that at<br />

all different levels.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Castle Singers were selected<br />

on the basis of an audition CD with<br />

three styles of music — an a cappella<br />

ballad, a swing number, and a Latin<br />

piece — representing its last three<br />

annual tours.<br />

“It’s peer selection,” Andrews<br />

said. “Other chorale directors listen<br />

to the auditions and select who<br />

should come.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Castle Singers will perform<br />

six pieces — “a variety to show what<br />

jazz music is all about,” Andrews<br />

said.<br />

“We’ll do a swing piece, an<br />

improvisation, an a cappella ballad,<br />

two movements from the Jazz<br />

Mass that we commissioned for<br />

our European tour and Christmas<br />

with Wartburg — one is a samba,<br />

the ‘Gloria,’ and the other is blues,<br />

‘Agnus Dei.’ When you think of<br />

jazz, you don’t usually think of<br />

sacred music.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> 33-member ensemble will<br />

close with its signature piece,<br />

SEE OVER<br />

1,000 DISPLAYS!<br />

“Birdland.”<br />

Meanwhile, Nelson will direct<br />

more than 360 singers and<br />

instrumentalists from four states —<br />

including his 87-member choir — in<br />

an hour-long multimedia production<br />

about the Holocaust. Dr. Brian<br />

Pfaltzgraff, assistant professor of<br />

music at Wartburg, will be a soloist.<br />

<strong>The</strong> college ensembles —<br />

including those from Minnesota<br />

State University at Mankato and<br />

Nebraska Wesleyan University —<br />

will be joined by the Madison Youth<br />

Choirs (boys and girls) and the<br />

Wisconsin Youth Symphony.<br />

Father Michael O’Connell<br />

of the Basilica of St. Mary’s in<br />

Minneapolis commissioned the work<br />

by composer Stephen Paulus and<br />

librettist Michael Dennis Browne to<br />

commemorate the 60th anniversary<br />

of the end of the Holocaust in 2005.<br />

<strong>The</strong> production uses photographs by<br />

Russian-American Roman Vishniac<br />

to complement the music.<br />

Nelson previously conducted the<br />

oratorio in 2008 as director of the<br />

St. Cloud (Minn.) State University<br />

choir, which performed at the<br />

Natzweiler-Struthof concentration<br />

camp in present-day France, near the<br />

German border.<br />

He called it a “transformational<br />

experience.”<br />

“It makes the tragic history of<br />

the Holocaust very real for the<br />

performers and the audience alike,”<br />

Nelson said. “It tells the stories of<br />

those lost in the Shoah through the<br />

faces of the children in the Vishniac<br />

photographs. We look at the world<br />

through their eyes, we dialogue with<br />

them throughout the work, then we<br />

turn the lens and look at ourselves.<br />

It’s a nontraditional Holocaust work<br />

in that it is not an ‘in-your-face<br />

piece’ — not overly sentimental, not<br />

gory, but a true reflection on what<br />

happened and is really sincere.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> choir will take on different<br />

roles, Nelson added, as a Nazi<br />

soldier, a Jewish prisoner, the<br />

Christian alliance helping the Jews<br />

and “Christian guilt.” <strong>The</strong> children,<br />

who eventually become the “voice<br />

of God,” are involved at the behest<br />

of Father O’Connell.<br />

“He said, ‘Art transcends and<br />

transforms,’” Nelson remarked,<br />

“and his dream has been that young<br />

people perform and study this work.<br />

We are honored to keep that dream<br />

going.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> South Central Calhoun girls’<br />

“I was extremely pleased with our<br />

effort, especially on the defensive<br />

end,” Birks said, “ <strong>The</strong> girls played<br />

with a lot of intensity. Unfortunately,<br />

we had trouble scoring against their<br />

Kevin Poen family receives Good Farm Neighbor Award<br />

During a ceremony recently in Lake City, Kevin Poen was presented with the Good Farm Neighbor Award by Jay Johnson, the Iowa<br />

Deputy Secretary of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. From Left to right: Brian Waddingham, Executive Director of the Coalition<br />

to Support Iowa’s Farmers, Kyle Poen, Tiffany Poen, Lynn Poen, Kevin Poen, Jay Johnson, IA Deputy Secretary of Agriculture and<br />

Land Stewardship, Betty and Bob Poen (Kevin’s parents) and Darcy Maulsby, the neighbor who nominated them for this award.<br />

(<strong>Graphic</strong>-<strong>Advocate</strong> photo by Teresa Snyder)<br />

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey<br />

recently announced that Kevin Poen, a cattleman<br />

from rural Lake City is the winner of the February<br />

“Gary Wergin Good Farm Neighbor Award.”<br />

Jay Johnson, the Iowa Deputy Secretary of<br />

Agriculture, presented the award to Poen on Feb.<br />

17 at the Lake City Community Building.<br />

“Kevin is one of many livestock farmers in Iowa<br />

who do a great job caring for their animals, the<br />

land while also serving in their local community,”<br />

Northey said. “<strong>The</strong> Good Farm Neighbor Award is<br />

a great opportunity to recognize these farmers that<br />

make Iowa agriculture so special.”<br />

Kevin and Lynn Poen and their children Tiffany<br />

and Kyle operate the family’s row-crop, popcorn,<br />

alfalfa and beef cattle operation between Lake City<br />

and Yetter. Kevin is a fourth-generation farmer.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Poens were nominated for the award by their<br />

neighbor Darcy Maulsby saying, “Not only is he a<br />

successful farmer and livestock producer, but he is<br />

a progressive, community-minded Ag leader who<br />

is committed to creating a brighter future for rural<br />

Iowa.”<br />

Maulsby went on to say, “Kevin is always<br />

interested in finding new solutions to make his<br />

beef operation more efficient, and he is the kind of<br />

cattleman who works hard throughout the year to<br />

protect soil and water quality… He uses minimum<br />

tillage, terraces and waterways on his cropland to<br />
