Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Week Is March 22-28 During March 22-28, 2015, Iowa State University Extension and Out- reach will celebrate the land-grant mission of putting the university’s research and resources to work throughout the state of Iowa. “As a land-grant university, Iowa State was founded on three big ideas: to open higher education to all, to teach practical classes, and to share knowledge far beyond the campus borders. We do this in every county in Iowa through our Ag and Natural Resources, 4-H and Youth, Human Sciences, and Community Develop- ment programs. We are everywhere for Iowans,” states John Sjolinder, Executive Director for ISU Exten- sion and Outreach - Cerro Gordo County. Iowa’s 100 county Extension of- fices will host activities throughout NIACC Proudly Presents “Rediscovering Ancient America” Film The 2014-15 Travel and Adven- ture Film Series concludes with “Rediscovering Ancient America” at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, March 27, 2015 in the North Iowa Community Au- ditorium, located on the North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) campus.

New discoveries are re- vealing amazing accomplishments and surprising connections. Around 1600 BC, Louisiana’s Poverty Point became the first planned city in Ancient America and the bayous and backwaters were alive with the sounds of a dynamic society. For the next 3,000 years, mound building became an obses- sion with the native peoples of east- ern North America. Around the time of Christ, Ohio’s NIACC Students Named to All Iowa Academic Team The 2015 All Iowa Academic Team Recognition Ceremony was held on Wednesday, March 4 at the Downtown Des Moines Marriott. This event honors the best and the brightest from Iowa Community Colleges across the state in conjunction with the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society. The two honorees from NIACC are Rakiah N. Bonjour – a journalism and mass communication major who will be transferring to Iowa State University upon graduation this May and J.T. Rottinghaus—a mathematics education major who will be transferring to Wartburg College in the fall. Both were honored and will be receiving PTK scholarships at their transfer institutions. Additionally, J.T. Rottinghaus received a bronze level scholarship of $1,000 from the National PTK organization in conjunction with the Coca-Cola Scholars program. Phi Theta Kappa an international honor society that recognizes the academic accomplishments of students attending two-year colleges. To become a member, you must have a 3.5 GPA after completing 12 semesters hours at NIACC and be enrolled in at least three semester hours of classes. By Travis Fischer The West Fork Community School Board approved a tentative budget for fiscal year 2015/16 during their regular meeting on Monday, March 16. “There’s no hard and fast budget set right now due to the fluctuations we may see with allowable growth,” said Superintendent Darrin Strike. Due to uncertainty in Des Moines about the amount of allowable growth the district will receive, the budget may be changed. Currently the budget is calculated to anticipate 4% allowable growth for schools, which would result in a levy rate of $11.34 per thousand in the district. Ultimately the amount of allowable growth may end up anywhere be- tween 0% and 6%, however even if the school were given less than 4% al- lowable growth, it wouldn’t necessarily cause the levy rate to increase. “What we’re saying is that our tax rate will not be above $11.34,” said Strike. Even assuming a levy rate of $11.34, West Fork taxpayers will see their rates drop by at least 48 cents as the levy drops from $11.82. West Fork’s levy rates have alternated between increases and decreases over the last several years as the increasing valuation of the district has conflicted with the phasing out of the reorganization tax incentive and drop in student population. However with the district paying off its debts the levy rate is expected to continue to drop next year as well. In other preparations for the next school year, the board approved a tenta- tive version of the 2015/16 school calendar. Like the budget, the final version of the calendar will depend on what the state government decides to do about school start dates. The tentative calendar will begin school on August 31 and finish school on May 31. However, if the state government decides to allow earlier start dates, a second calendar could be used instead, starting school on August 26 and ending on May 25. Due to the ongoing debate over school start dates, the board discussed the pros and cons of extending the school day by a short amount of time. This would give the school greater flexibility with their calendar while maintain- ing the required hours of instruction time. However, concern was raised about how such a change would effect the quality of the overall amount of instruc- tion time, noting that an additional five minutes of class every day wouldn’t necessarily result in the same benefit as additional days of school. The board decided to look at other schools that have extended their class times and investigate the matter further. In personnel matters, the school board approved new contracts for Elisha Payton and Deedee Winter for the 2015/16 school year. Payton will join West Fork as the district’s new Family and Consumer Science instructor while Winter will become the new high school administrative assistant. In other business, Lance Thompson received approval from the board to raise funds for youth baseball equipment. Additional fundraisers are also be- ing planned to raise money for the middle school band’s trip to Valley Fair and to assist the Milbrandt family, who recently lost their home in a fire. The board also decided to more strictly enforce the gym rental policy, making sure that for-profit organizations that use the gym are paying their rental fees. Finally, bids to build the school’s athletic facility have been delayed. The new due date for bids will be April 14.

Amanda Ragan (D-Mason City) helped the Iowa Senate pass legislation to guarantee stable income for the Iowa Veterans Trust Fund. If Senate File 323 becomes law, the fund will receive $2.5 million a year from the Iowa Lottery. The Iowa Veterans Trust Fund is a multi-million dollar fund which helps provide specific services to Iowa veterans. Trust fund expenditures are ap- proved through the Iowa Veterans Commission. The funds provide: • Unemployment or underemployment assistance due to service-related causes · Assistance with vision, hearing, dental care, durable medical equipment, and prescription drugs · Counseling and substance abuse services · Housing repair · Transitional housing in an emergency The needs of service members returning to Iowa from overseas deploy- ments, some with medical hardships, have increased the financial pressure on the fund. The recent national recession also increased the demand for as- sistance. The Veterans Trust Fund is currently funded by a series of four veteran- themed games (two scratch games and two pull-tab games) run by the Iowa Lottery. Income from those games is declining. Senate File 323 addresses that problem by guaranteeing that $2.5 million in lottery revenues will be VETERANS BILL to page 2 Registration is open for summer classes at NIACC Registration is open for summer courses at North Iowa Area Commu- nity College (NIACC).

Funds for conservation researchand demonstration project available

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today announced the State Soil Conservation Committee Research and Demonstration Fund has assistance available to support research or education/demonstra-tion projects that explore sustainable agriculture and projects focused on reducing nonpoint pollution. Funds are available to collaborative teams of scientists, farmers, institutions, soil and water conservation districts and educators. Applications must be submitted to the State Soil Conservation Commit-tee by May 22. A July 1 start date for selected projects is anticipated. Proposals must address issues of nonpoint pollution control. Success-ful projects should be focused on sustaining and improving environ-mental quality or the natural resource base on which agriculture depends. Applications should also explain how the projects would enhance the quality of life for farmers, rural com-munities, and society as a whole.

Proposals should clearly explain expected outcomes for the project and how they will assist in working toward these objectives, how project outcomes will be evaluated, and the impact of projects. Funding level for the grant pro-gram is established by the State Soil Conservation Committee and it is anticipated that $150,000 will be available this year. Individual grants cannot exceed $50,000 total over a two year period. More information about applying for assistance can be found at www.IowaAgriculture.gov and then click on “Conservation” at the top of the page. Interested applicants can also contact Tarrita Spicer with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship at (515) 281-5851 or [email protected]. The State Soil Conservation Com-mittee has operated this program for several years and there are currently 15 active grant projects.

Local students’ work on display

at MacNider exhibit

“Art in the Middle!” is the theme of the 31st annual Youth Art Month Exhibition. The display opens on Friday, Feb. 27 in the Center Space Gallery of the Charles H. MacNider Art Museum, Mason City. This year the spotlight shines on middle school students, celebrating the creativity and inventive energy of students in seventh and eighth grade. Student artists whose work has been selected for inclusion in the exhibi-tion will be honored at a reception and recognition ceremony at the Mu-seum on Saturday, March 21 at 1:00 p.m. The reception will be hosted by Alpha Delta Kappa, an honorary so-rority for women in education. The purpose of Youth Art Month is to emphasize the value of art edu-cation for all students and to encour-age support for quality school art programs. Demonstrated outcomes of art education have been shown to be development of critical thinking skills, self-esteem, appreciation of the work of others, self-expression and cooperative working skills. Art teachers from AEA Area 267, Clear Lake Regional Offi ce schools were invited to enter artwork from their students. Fifty-three works from eight schools were selected for this year’s show. The exhibition con-tinues through Saturday, April 25.• Museum hours Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday – 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Tuesday, Thursday – 9 a.m.-8 p.m., and Sunday-Monday – closed.

Iowa Farm Custom Rate Surveyshows slight increases for 2015

Rates for custom machine work and services are showing a steady increase again for 2015, according to the 2015 Iowa Farm Custom Rate Survey. The service categories that were surveyed include information on tillage, planting, spraying, har-vesting and hauling grain and for-ages. Also included are values for miscellaneous services, and machin-ery and grain storage rental. Alejandro Plastina, economist with Iowa State University Exten-sion and Outreach, indicates that expected farm custom rates for 2015 increased 1.2 percent from their 2014 survey results. “In dollar terms, rates are 19 cents higher on average. However, 90 per-

cent of the changes in custom rates range between a decline of $2.10 and an increase of $2.20 from their 2014 levels, averaging only a 1-cent increase,” said Plastina. Reported values on the survey are averaged from all the received re-sponses for each category. The range of the highest and lowest responses received is also reported. The values survey participants report are what they expect to pay or charge in the coming year. These values are in-tended only as a guide to help both custom operators and people who hire custom work done arrive at a reasonable rate. A total of 166 Iowa farmers, cus-tom operators and farm managers

replied to the survey. Twenty-five percent of them reported that they performed custom work for others, 11 percent reported hiring custom work done and 64 percent indicated that they did both. There are many reasons why the rate charged in a particular situa-tion should be above or below the average. These include the timeli-ness with which operations are per-formed, quality and special features of the machine, operator skill, size and shape of fi elds, number of acres contracted, and the condition of the crop for harvesting. The availability of custom operators in a given area also will affect rates. Ag Decision Maker offers a De-

cision Tool to help custom operators and other farmers estimate their own costs for specifi c machinery opera-tions. The Machinery Cost Calculator, File A3-29 can be found under Crops, then Machinery in the Ag Decision Maker left-hand navigation bar. The 2015 Iowa Farm Custom Rate Survey is available at the Franklin County Extension Office or online as publication FM-1698, from the Extension Online Store, or as Information File A3-10, Iowa Farm Custom Rate Survey, on the Ag Decision Maker website www.exten-sion.iastate.edu/agdm/.

Boost for Iowa businessesand veterans in need

Do our state agencies need to buy digital cameras from a Massachu-setts company? Why would state government purchase bread and bakery products from Missouri? Should the state have hired a New York company to help market and promote Iowa to tourists? What if we gave Iowa businesses that employ Iowans, pay local prop-erty taxes and produce Iowa products a chance at state contracts while still getting the lowest bid for Iowa tax-payers? Senate File 1, known as the Iowa First initiative, can help by giving Iowa businesses priority in compet-ing for state contracts. The bill will allow Iowa companies seeking to sell products and services to the state the chance to match competing out-of-state bids if the projects are less than $500,000 and the Iowa fi rm is within 5 percent or $10,000 of the lowest bidder. Iowa businesses need opportuni-ties to grow and expand if our econo-my is going to thrive. First and fore-most, our businesses need customers for their goods and services. In other Statehouse news, the Iowa Senate has unanimously ap-proved a stable income for the Iowa Veterans Trust Fund through desig-nated Iowa Lottery proceeds. The trust fund is currently funded through four veteran-themed games put out by the Iowa Lottery each year. While sales of the games have declined in recent years, the Veterans Trust Fund has seen increased applications for help from veterans in serious need. Senate File 323 guarantees that $2.5 million in lottery revenues will be transferred annually to the Veter-ans Trust Fund in place of the four-

game requirement. That amount is the average Lottery proceeds re-ceived from the four designated games in previous years. The Lottery will promote this connection with the Veterans Trust Fund, and plans to continue patriotic-themed games on occasion. Senate File 323 now goes to Gov. Branstad, who is expected to sign it into law. The Trust Fund helps veterans with such things as vision, hearing or dental care, durable medical equip-ment, emergency home repairs or transitional housing, and unemploy-ment or underemployment assis-tance due to service-related causes. The Iowa Commission of Veterans Affairs reviews applications and ap-proves all expenditures.

Iowa lawmakers look to tackle federal recklessness

Spring Daylight Savings Time not only brought longer daylight hours, but much-anticipated and much-appreciated warm temperatures. However, we did not let the beauti-ful weather distract us from working hard at the Capitol. This week was devoted heavily to fl oor debate, as we passed several pieces of legislation to the Senate for their consideration. These bills are focused on strengthening Iowa fami-lies, providing greater opportunities for job creators and making Iowa an even greater place to live. As I discussed in my opening day speech, no one can deny that the fed-eral system of government is broken. Our national debt is currently over $18 trillion, which translates into a debt of over $56,000 per American. This type of governing is not only unsustainable and irresponsible, it is also incredibly unfair to our children, grandchildren and future generations for years to come. As the federal government con-tinues to recklessly spend without regard for Iowans’ desire to live within our means, the next genera-tion of Americans continues to be further saddled with more and more debt, and less and less opportunities

for prosperity. There is no doubt a correction is needed in order to rebalance the power between the federal govern-ment and the states. Our founding fathers believed in a limited federal government, with all other power to be retained by the people of each sovereign state. I think states are wonderful laboratories where inno-vation takes place and we know how to best address our needs. I’m excited about a proposal to start to address the broken system that is our federal government and its negative impact on states like ours. The United States Constitution pro-vides a method for the states to come together to address an out-of-control federal government. I am proud to co-sponsor House Joint Resolution 8, which sets forth Iowa’s applica-tion to Congress for a convention of states under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The resolution calls for this convention of states to propose an amendment to impose fi scal re-straints on the federal government and limit their power and jurisdic-tion. It has become abundantly clear it is going to be up to us to address this issue. We can’t wait for the federal

Who would have thought that the battle of the sexes would be fought out in Ghostbusters? Rumors of an all-female Ghostbusters movie started circulating last year when Paul Feig (director of “Bridesmaids” and “The Heat”) was brought on for the latest attempt at a reboot. This speculation was confi rmed in January when it was announced that Feig’s cast would feature Melissa McCarthy, a no brainer considering she’s been in his last three movies, and “Saturday Night Live” stars Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon. Being honest, I can’t say I don’t have reservations about the cast. The original movies relied largely on subtle and low key humor. Those are not words one would use to describe Fieg and McCarthy’s other collaborations. Still, I’ll give them a shot. After all, at least it’s fi tting that the cast selected to follow in the footsteps of Dan Aykoryd and Bill Murray would consist mostly of “Saturday Night Live” players. Personally, my biggest disappointment with the cast is that Gillian Anderson and Emma Stone should have gotten leading roles, but I suppose that could be said for most movies. However, not everybody felt the same way. “Women aren’t funny!” “The feminists are at it again!” “Now they’re making Ghostbusters with only women! What’s going on!” “Burning all my Ghostbusters memorabilia, because this movie will destroy the fi rst two.” These are all things said by actual

people on the Internet. Most of them from anonymous commentators, but one is from Donald Trump, just to give you a sense of how off the rails they are. And of course, on the other side of the debate were the “reasonable” people. “It’s not like they’re erasing the original movies!” “You can always watch the older one.” “We’ve had one with all guys, why not have one with all girls?” And those “reasonable” people held on to those points right up until last week when Sony announced the creation of Ghostcorps, a production company dedicated to the maximum exploitation of the Ghostbusters franchise. Their fi rst order of business, announcing that the Russo Brothers (who directed “Captain America: Winter Soldier”) and Channing Tatum will make a male-led “Ghostbusters” movie to follow the female-led Paul Feig fi lm. Suddenly the idea of a movie focused on one gender didn’t seem like such a great idea anymore. “This news is pretty much the worst ever.” “I wish Channing Tatum would just go away.” “All this is doing is making me hate Ghostbusters.” Again, these are all things said by actual people on the Internet who, two months ago, probably had no idea how hypocritical they actually were. (And, to be honest, probably still aren’t aware of it.) For months these people dismissed the idea that the existence of an all-female Ghostbusters movie would somehow diminish the

Crossing The Streams

original movies, and yet as soon as the next fi lm was announced they turned around and started exhibiting the exact same behavior. This has become an increasingly public issue with what I understand is called “Third-wave feminism,” which seems to be less about striving for equality and more about scoring social justice points on the Internet and maintaining a sense of perpetual outrage. Two phrases come to mind. “Haters gonna hate” and “Two sides of the same coin.” So now everybody is angry. If I wanted to be cynical, I’d say this was probably the plan all along. After all, making one group of people mad is good exposure, but making two opposing groups mad is the gift that keeps on giving. It’s already working. After all, here I am writing about it. T h i s controversy will feed itself and the outrage will likely carry Sony all the way to the bank. My biggest hope is that this argument somehow stays out of the actual fi lms. It would be a pleasant surprise if Paul Feig’s movie ends up being about a team of Ghostbusters that happens to all be women and the Channing Tatum movie ends up being about a team of Ghostbusters that happens to be all men. And even when they team up for the inevitable crossover, I hope they leave the gender politics out of it. Not only because it would be the last thing anybody would expect, but to really hammer home the point that it really doesn’t matter who is carrying the proton pack as long as they are funny. Ultimately, the two sides of this controversy aren’t split between the “feminists” and the “misogynists.” Both of them fall into the same category of “people who will never be satisfi ed,” which is contrasted with its own opposing group of “people who are just happy to see more Ghostbusters.” Count me in the latter group.

government to fi x its problems. We should not be restrained from what we do best, fi nding Iowa based solu-tions for Iowa needs. I look forward to supporting House Joint Resolution 8 and send-ing it to the Senate for their consid-eration. This is not a partisan issue. This is an issue between a federal government that has grown to an un-manageable size and the states who are tired of shouldering their irre-sponsible decisions. I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate Sheffi eld native Seth Tuttle on an extraordinary college basketball season. Seth was named this year’s Larry Bird Missouri Val-ley Conference Player of the Year. He has led the University of North-ern Iowa Panthers to a 30-3 season record, a conference tournament championship and hopefully a tre-mendous outcome during this year’s upcoming March Madness. As always, if you’d like to dis-cuss an issue that is important to you, I’d love to hear from you. I can be reached anytime at (515) 281-4618 or [email protected].

transferred annually to the trust fund. That amount is the average of the amount provided by the lottery in previous years. “Iowa veterans deserve more help,” said Ragan. “This legislation is a long-term commitment for better services for thousands of Iowa veter-

ans.” More information about the avail-able benefi ts, and for directions on how to apply for help, can be found at https://va.iowa.gov/benefi t s/.• State contracts On March 10 Ragan voted to put Iowa companies fi rst in line when

bidding for state contracts. If Senate File 1 becomes law, Iowa companies will have the opportunity to match competing out-of-state bids. Under the proposed legislation, if an Iowa fi rm was with within 5 percent or $10,000 of the lowest out-of-state bidder, the Iowa fi rm would

have the opportunity to match the lowest bid. The State of Iowa would never be forced to pay more than the lowest bid. Senate File 1 passed on Tuesday with a bipartisan vote of 31 to 19 in the Senate chambers. It now heads over to the House for consideration.

Reporting from the Cerro Gordo County Courthouse

Time for Some Financial “Spring Cleaning”We’ve just about arrived at spring, the time when

many people spruce up their homes, yards and other parts of their surroundings. This year, why not extend that practice a little further and give your fi nancial and investment environment a good “spring cleaning”?

Here are a few suggestions for doing just that:Reduce duplication. If you’ve ever worked to “de-

clutter” your home, you may have discovered a lot of extraneous items. Did you really need three blenders? Did you have more remote control devices than you did televisions? As you look through your investment port-folio, you might also fi nd some duplication, perhaps in the form of multiple stocks of companies in the same industry. You might want to consider whether you’d be better off by reducing this concentration and using the proceeds to broaden your investment mix to create new potential for growth, income or a combination of both.

Repair your “roof.” As part of your exterior spring-cleaning efforts, you might examine your roof to de-termine if you need to repair or replace any torn or missing shingles. After all, a strong roof is essential to protecting your home. And your fi nancial founda-tion needs protection, too — so, review your life and disability insurance to ensure they are still adequate to meet your family’s needs. You also might want to consult with a fi nancial professional for ways of dealing with the potentially devas-tating costs of an extended nursing home stay or another type of long-term care.

Plant some “seeds.” Spring is a good time for re-seeding parts of your lawn that may be bare. Once you’ve planted the seeds, of course, you’ll need to water and fertilize them to encourage growth. As you look over your fi nancial landscape, you may also fi nd areas that are somewhat barren. For example, you might be adequately funding your own re-tirement goals through your employer-spon-sored retirement plan and other investments, but are you putting away enough money for your children’s college education? If not, you might need to “plant some seeds” for poten-tial growth by investing in a college savings

account, such as a 529 plan. And you may need to con-tinually “nourish” your plan by contributing money each year.

Update your “furnishings.” When you bought and arranged your home’s furnishings, they might have been perfectly suited for your needs. But now, many years later, your situation may be quite different. Per-haps you’ve said goodbye to grown children who have struck out on their own, so you might want to make new uses for old rooms. And maybe your old “stuff” just isn’t as comfortable as it was before, or the layout of your furniture isn’t as effi cient. Whatever the case, it may well be time to update your environment. And the same thing can happen with your fi nancial “house.” To refl ect changes in your family situation, employ-ment, economic circumstances, retirement goals and other factors, you will need to periodically review your fi nancial strategy and your investment portfolio, and make adjustments as needed.

Tidying up your living space may help improve your overall outlook on life. The same might be said of a fi nancial spring cleaning — and you won’t even need a mop.

Area track & fi eld athletes fare well in annual A.D.

Dickinson Relays at UNICEDAR FALLS – Clay Meinders of AGWSR earned a third place fi nish

in the shot put at the highly competitive A.D. Dickinson Indoor Relays hosted by the University of Northern Iowa on Tuesday, March 10.

Meinders picked up where he left off last season in fi nishing back-to-back state runner-up in Class 1A in the event, throwing 53 feet, 9.5 inches for the Cougars.

Also fi nishing in the top 10 among area athletes was West Fork senior Peyton Twedt, who cleared 6 feet, 2 inches in the high jump to fi nish fi fth by virtue of jumps since the fourth place fi nisher also reached the same mark.

Completing competitive marks for the Warhawks were Drew Engebretson in the 400 and Twedt in the 1,600, both taking 18th in their respective events.

Monte Dye also was 21st in the shot put for Jeff Tudor’s West Fork squad. The Warhawks’ 4x800 team also posted a time of 9:24.99 for 27th.

AGWSR will be strong in the shot put with 27th and 28th place fi nishes, respectively, for the Cougars Caleb Meinders and Michael Young.

The meet includes several teams from across the state, including several large-school entries, which dominated the top spots.

Warhawks alreadymaking strides

WAVERLY – Several West Fork girls’ track members improved marks from last season while attending the Wartburg Indoor meet held on Tuesday, March 10.

One personal best, fi ve times faster than last year’s meet and three marks that have already broken into the school’s top-10 best marks were recorded at the meet.

Two of those top marks were met by freshman Talia Rowe, who fi nished fourth in the 3,000-meter run in 12 minutes, 34.55 seconds and eighth in the 1,500 in 5:44.99. Both were good for sixth in West Fork school history. She fi nished behind Maddison Shupe, who is already on the top-10 all-time list for the Warhawks.

Courtney Larson’s time of 29.38 in the 200 was good for 13th out of 43 entries and is now the eighth-fastest time among Warhawk marks in the event.

Setting a new PR in the shot put was Britta Becker, whose effort of 33 feet, 1 inch earned her a sixth place fi nish and was already 2-3 farther than her best in 2014.

Also of note were faster times than last year’s meet for West Fork’s Taryn Meyer in the 55-meter dash, Lexi Bray in the 200, Taylor Rooney in the 800 and the 4x800 and 4x200 relays.

West Fork had another indoor meet at Wartburg on Tuesday, March 17 looking for more improvements.
