Unique route allows Diagonal access to Cleareld students

A unique piece has been added to the Cleareld school district dissolution plan that will allow access for students to use Diagonal school transportation to attend Diagonal schools after the 2013-14 school year. After considerable discussion at a recent meeting of the Cleareld Dissolution Commission, a plan was approved that would designate a specic route Diagonal busses could follow to the town of Cleareld to pick up students. The route follows County Road J23 west of Diagonal to 130th Avenue, south one mile on 130th Avenue to 170th Street and three miles west on 170th Street to the Cleareld. Land 25 feet on either side of the center line on the roadways will be designated as property assigned to the Diagonal school district following the 2013-14 school year. The unique plan was devised to satisfy a state law that prohibits busses from one school district from crossing into territory governed by another district. As the commission asked for input from landowners within the current Cleareld district regarding their preference for which neighoring school district they would desire their land to be assigned, it became clear an unbroken series of land parcels reaching from the borders of the Diagonal district to Cleareld would be impossible if the commission followed the stated preferences of all landowners in that area. We tried very hard to keep everyone happy, said commission chair Doug England, in reference both to land owners and to Cleareld students who want to attend Diagonal. Although districts may sign agreements to allow neighboring

The plan adopted by the commission would allow students living in Cleareld permanent access to transportation provided by the Diagonal district. The dissolution plan will be presented to the Cleareld school board of directors June 18. The directors will then hold a public hearing in July to answer patron questions and to gather feedback on the plan. Based upon information gathered at the public hearing, the school board may adopt or amend the dissolution proposal. If approved by the board, voters in the Cleareld district will have the nal word as they go to the polls in September to approve or disapprove the plan.

Pool opening delayed

Baby pool issues, chlorine levels push opening back to June 12
An update on opening day for the city swimming pool and the opening of bids for work on Gareld Street were two of the items on the agenda of the Mount Ayr city council when they met in regular session Monday, June 3. Swimming pool Amanda Cannon, the citys certied pool operator, reported on the delay in opening the city swimming pool at Judge Lewis Park. She said as of Thursday, May 30, she thought everything was in order to open the pool, but that day some park board members met with pool manager Daniel Showalter and told him they wanted some items addressed in the baby pool before the pools could open. Cannon said the work included some patchwork and chipping all the old paint away and repainting the surface. It was so rough it could cut the bottom of a kids foot, she said. The ACCO company completed patchwork on Friday, and the lifeguards chipped away the old paint and completed the repainting over the weekend. Cannon explained the same ltering system operates both the main pool and the baby pool, and in order to drain the baby pool to complete the work, the pump system had to be shut down. Therefore, the main pool could not open until work was completed on the baby pool. The paint on the baby pool takes 7 to 10 days to cure, so Cannon plans to rell the baby pool Monday, June 10 after which two additional days should be allowed for the lter system to regulate chemicals. In addition, Cannon had detected a low chlorine level in the pool, so while the pool remains closed over the next few days, ACCO will drain the chlorine tank and install a new batch of chlorine to bring levels back to acceptable standards. Cannon said she hopes to have the pools open on June 12. Street work The council opened two bids for work on Gareld street. The council accepted the low bid of $42,903 from Blacktop Service Company out of Humboldt to apply an asphalt surface with a single chip seal on the street from Highway 2 north to Adams Street. A second bid of $54,869.50 was received from the Norris Asphalt Paving company. Work on the project has a completion date of June 28. During discussion about the project, city superintendent Brent Wise recommended installing a tube at Gareld and Madison streets to divert a large volume of water runoff in that area. Wise explained without the tube, runoff would likely continue to damage Gareld Street after the city had gone to the expense of the resurfacing project. The council will act on the recommendation at the next council meeting. Water system update Jason Miller from MSA, the engineering rm in charge of the water system improvement project, informed the council his company had received two bids for the water system improvement project, but one of the bids was rejected because the contractor said he had not received notication of an addendum to the project specications. To guard against a potential bid protest, Miller recommended the council reject all bids and advertise for the taking of new bids. He explained any time all bids on a project are rejected, the council needed to start the legal process again with a public hearing and a series of resolutions approving the project specications and seeking new bids. To that end, the council conducted the public hearing and passed the resolutions at Mondays meeting. Superintendents report Superintendent Wise reported on a number of items under his jurisdiction. He asked the council if they wanted to change the hours of operation or the phone number listed at the RV dump site. Currently the site is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. with the city hall phone number listed at the site. He explained those who want to use the site on weekends have no one to contact to open the site. The council said they wanted to leave the operation at the site as it is. Ringgold county has been ofcially declared a disaster area by presidential proclamation. Wise told the council the declaration means federal dollars will be available for repairs to city streets and sewers in the coming months. He said representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency will be in town this week to inspect damages and potential projects. Susan Kinney has asked the ____________________________ city

This map shows the route that has been designated part of the Diagonal Community schools if the Cleareld Dissolution Plan is adopted by the Cleareld school board and approved by county voters. The route follows County Road J23 west of Diagonal to 130th Avenue, south one mile on 130th Avenue to 170th Street and three miles west on 170th Street to Cleareld. Land 25 feet on either side of the center line on the roadways will be designated as property assigned to the Diagonal school district following the 2013-14 school year.

Supervisors continue county road discussions

The Ringgold county board of supervisors met in regular session on Tuesday, May 28 due to the Memorial Day holiday on Monday. The majority of Tuesdays session was devoted to issues concerning county roads. Peru gravel County engineer Zach Gunsolley reported on costs/benets of hauling rock from Peru by contract versus hauling rock in-house from Watterson. Hauling costs for oneinch clean rock from the Peru site is approximately $21.28 per ton. By contrast, the same size rock at the Watterson quarry with hauling in-house costs $20.08 per ton. However, Gunsolley explained the rock quality at Peru is better. The average C freeze value for Peru and Watterson is 3.5 and 8.0 respectively. The average abrasion value for Peru and Watterson is 27.5 and 31.0 respecively. In both cases lower numbers translates to better quality. Gunsolley said he would monitor how much more time the better quality of rock will last on the road, but he added the $1.20/ton extra is worth investigating given the quality difference. Supervisor David Inloes asked when will it be known if the Peru rock worked on the Wishard Chapel road. Gunsolley said a better evaluation would be possible next year after the road had endured a winter. Road striping/lighting Gunsolley presented a recommendation to suspend striping county highways and lighting of intersections until such time as 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. To support his recommendation, Gunsolley presented the following rationale: The board of supervisors has instructed the county engineer to make cuts in the FY 2014 budget. 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. The grassroots public initiative for bringing a second bond question before voters to improve county roads appears to have stalled. The board of supervisors had planned to provide the secondary roads department nearly $500,000 of additional funding by raising property taxes to be used on county roads. After that plan was met with opposition by taxpayers at the budget hearing, the supervisors decided to leave property taxes at their current levels. The secondary roads department has cataloged approximately $1 million of ood damage from this springs ooding. The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) funding to Ringgold county for state roads the state transferred to county maintenance is ending June 30. That pool of money will now be redistributed to all counties and cities, regardless if they took over the maintenance of state roads or not. IDOT ofcials conrmed

Gunsolleys research that Manual on Uniform Trafc Control Devices (MUTCD) standards from the federal government 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 average daily trafc count of at least 3000, but most Ringgold county roads have trafc counts only 10-20 percent of that amount. Gunsolley has used engineering judgment to conclude that the current condition of rock, sealcoat ____________________________

Forty years of marriage celebrated
June 2 is a big day of celebration in our families. Two years ago our granddaughter Esther was born. Eighty-nine years ago Valles mother Betty was born. Twelve years ago Peter and Erin were married. And 40 years ago Valle and I were married. Since it was one of those end in zero anniversaries for us, our children put together a weekend trip to Nauvoo, IL, for family members and friends from both sides of the family who could go along. I think I counted 28 in the whole group who spent the weekend together in celebration. We gathered at a church camp grounds Friday night for supper, a campre and games. I shared the now familiar story about how we met and how we felt so blessed in the 40 years we have had together -- with family being one of the major blessings. Saturday morning after breakfast of oatmeal and whole wheat cinnamon rolls, we spent the morning touring Nauvoo. The city on the Mississippi River holds a lot of interesting history with our church background, but some family history too. My mom and dad spent their honeymoon in Nauvoo, and we toured the room in the Mansion House where they spent their honeymoon. We had a special tour of the Joseph Smith Historic Properties led by a great-great-grandson of Joseph Smith, who is also a shirt-tale relative on the Loving side. We had our own special concert from the Nauvoo Brass Band which tours the historic sites area in a wagon. After nding lunch on our own in town, we did more sightseeing in the afternoon, then we did some more touring before heading back to camp. There my brother Steve cracked a bucket of geodes he had collected as the youngsters watched in amazement. Then it was time for the actual anniversary celebration. The kids had put together a meal of grilled salmon, spinach salad, broccoli, homemade whole wheat bread and apple pie and ice cream. What a feast. After the meal, we watched the video they made for our 30th anniversary, with an extension of 10 years added on for our 40th. It was fun reliving many old memories. We shared some more memories, then played a panel game of guess that year. Nathan had put together a presentation of many interesting things

LOOKING BACK in the Early Files

Fifty Years Ago (From the Mount Ayr RecordNews, Thursday, May 30, 1963.) The board of directors of the Iowa Southern Utilities company today authorized a two-for-one split of the companys common stock, subject to approval by its stockholders and by the Federal Power Commission. Pursuant to the plan, stockholders would receive two shares of common stock of $10 par value, or a total of $20 of par value, for each share of $15 par value common stock held. The authorized number of shares of common stock would be increased from 1,100,000 to 2,500,000. The Mount Ayr residence property of the late Lulu Jean Whitmore, located at 502 S. Taylor Street, was sold Saturday afternoon at public auction to C. Arthur Hansen for $7,100. The sale was conducted by Lois Jean Walters, administratrix; Dennis Owens and Raymond Hutchinson, auctioneers, and Grant L. Hayes, attorney. James Markley, who submitted the highest bid of $2,900, purchased the residence at 605 West Madison, which was offered for sale Friday afternoon to settle the estate of Alta Shepherd. The sale was conducted by Ora Payne, administrator; Jack and Raymond Hutchinson, auctioneers, and Frank F. Wilson, attorney. Many outstanding varsity prospects are among the members of the freshman track squad of the Mount Ayr Community high school. These young athletes nished rst in the freshman division of the Raider relays. Members included John McFarland, Billie Thompson, Bruce Henderson, Jerry Monday, Ivan Gerard, Mike Combs, Duane Miller, manager Bob Clark, Monte Dailey, Gary Sefrit, Gary Son, Dick Rothert, Steve Johnston, Mike Duckworth, Craig Elliott, Jim Brand and coach Chet Roed. With a better than an A minus average for his four years scholastic record, Paul Lay is valedictorian of the 1963 graduating class of the Mount Ayr Community high school. Donna Walters and Jerry Waugh represent the class as salutatorians, both having maintained approximately A minus averages. Rick Defenbaugh placed third in the high and low hurdles in the Class A division of the state track meet held Saturday in Iowa City. He set new Mount Ayr school records in both as he ran 15.2 in the highs and 20.5 seconds in the lows. Adams, of Missouri Valley, placed rst and Ashland of Clear Lake was second in the two events. Both are seniors, while Defenbaugh has another year of competition. Eugene Ricker ran 10.3 to qualify for the nals in the 100-yard dash, but failed to place in the nals. The drawing for preliminary heats hurt Ricker in the 220. He placed third in his heat in 23.3, the third fastest time run in the 200 preliminaries. Since only the rst two qualied in each heat, he lost his chance to participate in the nals, in which he probably would have placed. James M. Richards, assistant associate warden at the Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison since 1958, will retire June 30, after more than 17 years of service. Mr. Richards, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Richards of Tingley, began his employment at the state penal institution on February 1, 1946.

& other things

that had happened on June 2 from family events to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth and the wedding of President Grover Cleaveland in the White House and we had to guess the year of the event. The celebration was highlighted when Nathan, Erin and Cara sang an anniversary song that Nathan composed for the occasion. It was beautiful and icing on an already wonderful celebration of spending time together. Ill Walk This Path With You will be another classic family treasure. We even took time to share a video of the song with Facebook friends once we got home. When the kids went to bed, the rest of us played board games and visited away the rest of the evening. We had to be up and out of the lodge in which we stayed by 8 a.m., so we got everything cleaned up and went to Davids Chamber park for breakfast and exploring of the creek and water fall over limestone that is very picturesque. The whole group gathered there for a church service, led by son-in-law Peter, where more stories of Gods many blessings to the family were shared. Then we found a shelter in the state park for lunch, where we celebrated the birthdays of Esther and Nana and sang for Peter and Erin. After another big meal, we loaded up for the long trip back to our homes. Many of the groups had to change drivers a few times to nd someone who could stay awake after the big weekend, but we all arrived home safely. I dont know of any greater gift than to be able to spend a weekend together to celebrate 40 years of marriage. It was truly another of the many blessings we have been privileged to share over the 44 years Valle and I have been friends and much more.

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. Gunsolley has stated that some sealcoat roads have higher trafc counts than some paved roads. 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. Gunsolley has stated concerns of possible liability exposure for the county taxpayer since 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 location on curves. Other road discussion Gunsolley reported the Denko crack lling project is complete, and the supervisors were pleased the project came in under budget. The original quote for the project was $205,254.54 with trafc control provided. With negotiated trafc control by the county crew, the cost came to $189,720.77. The nal invoice paid this week was $173,863.14. Gunsolley noted he and Steve Trullinger will look at roads prior to contractors coming in June. The supervisors discussed safety concerns with 310th Street. The board agreed to turn the east mile of

seal coat back to gravel and asked Gunsolley to notify the two homeowners within this mile. Inloes asked if the remaining mile of seal coat near Redding on 310th Street also needs to be turned to gravel. Gunsolley said he felt that portion of the road is in better shape and may last through winter. Gunsolley reported he had hired three seasonal employees to assist the road crew: John Parrott, Tracy Freihage and Curt Jackson. Parrott and Freihage started May 28 and Jackson started June 3. Jackson will obtain a license to spray weeds throughout the summer. Josh Rusk from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources met with the board to discuss the countys plans to repair the bridge near the prairie chicken viewing site west of Kellerton. The supervisors said a culvert will replace the bridge after work is completed on the Lil Rinehart bridge. Gunsolley estimated the crew will begin work on the prairie chicken bridge in July or August. The board also discussed a possible amount for a FY14 budget amendment for chips and oil to patch sealcoat roads. They suggested $150,000 be taken from reserves to pay for sealcoat patchwork. Other business In other business the supervisors: discussed and approved revisions to the county employee handbook. County auditor Amanda Waske will distribute a copy of the handbook to each employee. reviewed applications for the Veterans Affairs Director position and forwarded them to the Veterans Affairs Commission for their recommendation. approved a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ringgold

County Fair Board and a liquor license permit for the Eagles Nest. June 3 meeting In their regular meeting Monday, June 3, the supervisors passed a resolution to suspend striping of county highways and the lighting of intersections in response to Gunsolleys recommendation at the May28 meeting. Gunsolley also told the board he had been notied that Ringgold county had been proclaimed a diaster relief area. The declaration will provide funds for repairs to county infrastructure. Gunsolley and the supervisors also discussed the possibility of hiring a roads superintendent. The consensus was 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. 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. The supervisors approved a resolution allocating the funds with the intent those funds will be repaid through a transition grant.

Based on the recommendation of city attorney Richard Wilson, Kinney will be told she needs to comply to all facets of the subdivision plan including placement of utilities and the laying out of streets before lots in that part of the subdivision may be sold. A member of the city crew has asked if he may wear shorts on the job. Wise said he had checked OSHA regulations that simply stated employees must wear sufcient clothing to protect them from hazards on a jobsite. Wise said he would have no problem with shorts being worn on days when meters are being read if employees have long pants available in case of an emergency. On all other days he said he would prefer all members of the city crew to wear clothing purchased through the citys clothing allowance. Other business In other business the council:

approved the nal drawdown on the bathhouse/FEMA safe room project from Oakview Construction for $91,047.86. An earlier nal drawdown request for $119,202.60 had already been approved by the council, but it had been amended to the lower amount after nal expenses had been reconciled. established a committee of two council members and two members of the Sportsmens Club to review issues brought up at the last council meeting about Loch Ayr, including the waiting lists, liability insurance and electrical hookups. The committee will bring recommendations for any changes to the existing regulations pertaining to the lake at the next council meeting.

approved three appointments to the library board: Rosemary Hullinger, Cheryl Taylor and Darrell Dodge. set June 17 as the public hearing date for a proposal to enter into a general obligation solid waste disposal and refunding loan agreement and borrow money in a principal amount not to exceed $850,000. The funds not only will renance the current bonds for the water system improvement project at a lower interest rate but also will be used as start-up money for the citys residential garbage service. passed a resolution adopting and approving tax compliance procedures relating to tax exempt bonds.

June 3 - Memorial Day is a time reserved to honor service and sacrice. Forty years ago, in 1973, the United States ended its combat role in the Vietnam War. American troops came home and prisoners of war were released. As in all wars, the cost in blood and treasure was great. The names of 58,000 American soldiers are etched on the Wall of the Vietnam War memorial in Washington, D.C. Between 1965 and 1975, the cost to American taxpayers was $111 billion. The Omaha World Herald Monday, May 27 issue, paid special tribute with stories of the men from Nebraska and western Iowa who served. The Memorial Day tribute listed the names of the veterans from Nebraska and western Iowa that appear on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall and told some of the stories of those who didnt come home -- still missing after all those years. Missing and unaccounted for are more than 1,600 Americans, not forgotten by their families and the nation. The search goes on for their remains. Forty years later people still debate the wars meaning and its lasting impact but not the service and sacrice of the Vietnam War veterans. The nations highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, was awarded to 247 Vietnam War servicemen. Seven went to men with Nebraska or western Iowa ties for their actions of extraordinary courage. Between 1996 and 2000, the U.S. Senate had six members who were Vietnam combat veterans including Medal of Honor recipient Bob Kerry of Nebraska.

Perry 12, Mount Ayr 0 (ve innings) The Raiders lost their rst game, 12-0, in the Nodaway Valley Tournament, Saturday, June 1 to a solid Perry team in a game ending on the 10-run rule. The contest started with Perry taking an early 8-0 lead after just one inning of play. The Raiders were able to do a better job of hitting according to coach Tanner Rinehart, but were unable to string together their hits to move baserunners. Dylan Doman and Heath Evans led the team offensively going

Mount Ayr 6, Orient-Macksburg 2 In Mount Ayr s consolation game of the Nodaway Tournament the Raiders picked up their second win of the season after what coach Rinehart called a well-rounded performance. Quency Vos took the win in this contest, pitching ve innings. Vos gave up only two runs on four hits, recorded three walks and struck out four batters. I thought Quency did a nice job nding the strike zone consistently, and letting our defense make some plays behind him, said Rinehart. Weston Schnoor picked up the save by pitching the nal two innings. Schnoor gave up only one hit, struck out four batters and had three walks. Schnoor also led the Raiders offensively, going 3-4 at the plate with two runs scored and stealing two bases.

Hy-Vee Baked Fresh Cookies

Iowans may sh free June 7-9

Iowa residents may sh without a license on June 7, 8 and 9 as part of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources free shing weekend. Free shing weekend is the rst weekend in June each year. It allows Iowans an opportunity to try shing without purchasing a license. All other regulations remain in place. We are experiencing some of excellent shing across the state right now at Twelve Mile Lake, Green Valley Lake, Clear Lake, Meadow Lake, and our trout streams and our sheries at Prairie Rose Lake, Badger Creek Lake, Lake Pahoja and Lizard Lake are being improved to provide better shing in the future, said Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa DNRs Fisheries Bureau. We hope that someone who gives shing a try during free shing weekend will enjoy the experience and want to go shing more often and become a license holder, Larscheid said. Free shing weekend is scheduled during what is traditionally the time when bluegills are close to shore and aggressive. This is a great time to take kids shing because the chance for success is pretty good, he said. The best way to catch bluegills, according to Larscheid, is to use small tackle little hooks, a bobber no larger than a quarter, fourpound test line and small bait. The DNR is creating shing videos teaching inexperienced anglers how to be more successful at catching sh. Two videos are currently online crappie shing and bluegill shing and other species and techniques will be added through the summer and fall. Anyone catching their rst sh is encouraged to take a photo of it and send it in to receive the DNRs rst sh award. The DNR will commemorate the event with a certicate suitable for framing and the submitted photo. Information on the rst sh program is available in the Iowa Fishing Regulations and online at http://www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing MasterAnglerFirstFish.aspx. Qualifying sh caught during free shing weekend are also eligible for master angler recognition. For bluegills, the minimum length for master angler award is 10 inches.

A championship trophy will be awarded to the rst place team, and player of the game plaques will be given to one member from both teams in each game. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for students, and one admission is good for the entire tournament.

Activities Staff
June 3 - Sunshine and warm weather, what a great way to begin a Monday morning. Residents hope that this weather continues at least through Thursday afternoon as they plan to take their rst shing trip. Residents are all excited and ready to sh, not only because it has been a long time but this morning Ranger Kate Zimmerman gave a program on sh. They learned all about the most popular sh in the local ponds and lakes and when and where to catch them. Residents can hardly wait until Thursday comes. All are also looking forward to listening to music by Marlys this Friday afternoon beginning at 2:30 p.m. She always livens things up with her upbeat music. Everyone said so long to Dorothy Hughes last Friday afternoon. Dorothy has worked in the activity department for several years and will be missed by both residents and staff. All wish her the best as she retires but are happy to have her stay with them as a volunteer. Dari Sweet ice cream was enjoyed after wishing her a happy retirement. Dorothy Sobotka had a great time out with family over Memorial Day as did Earl Brand. Evalee White went out with her daughter over the past weekend as did Maxine Werner. Ruth Angus enjoyed going out with her daughter, Marie Still, over the weekend also. Sylvia Hall had a nice time as she went out to lunch with her daughter. Patti Page-Jones and Junior Karr joined Elaine McCampbell for lunch on Memorial Day and this past weekend. Sylvia Hall was happy to have her daughter, Phyllis Sickels, as her lunch guest while Larry Campbell enjoyed having Linda Wilt and Kurt Campbell with him for lunch. Neil Stanley was a lunch guest of his mother, Ada, this past week as well. It seems that no matter what the weather residents always feel a bit chilled. This is where those nice lap robes made by a group from the First Christian Church come in handy. Nida Solliday and Mary Hixson delivered lap robes to all of the new residents this past week. Pictures of a trip to Pella during Tulip Days were shared by Virginia Albers at ladies club recently. Ladies also enjoyed remembering backyard games for both youth and adults. Several enjoy dominoes and Skip Bo most everyday and it is nice to have Cheri Dessinger and Phyllis Sickels stop in to join these games. Pastor Charles and Mrs. Hawkins arrived last Tuesday afternoon to lead Bible study. The group was very interested in the lesson brought forth, not to mention the good company and visiting after the session. Residents enjoyed shopping on Wednesday morning before gathering for church services. The minister was Sandy Crandell with Ellen Powell playing the piano. The afternoon was spent enjoying bingo. Phyllis Riggs, Cheri Dessinger and Phyllis Sickels were the helpers. Winners included Sylvia Hall, Elaine McCampbell, Virginia Albers, Phyllis Faubion, Paul Campbell, Dorothy Main, Vergene Higgins, Kathryn Adams, Catherine Crawford, Alma Harris (guest of Phyllis Faubion), Lorene Triggs, June Steinman and blackout winner Paul Campbell. Nail care with Phyllis Riggs and Dorothy Hughes, exercises, devotions and a movie took up most of Thursday. Friday many enjoyed clue trivia and exercises in the morning and planting owers in pots on the patio after lunch. You may want to check out the many pots of pretty owers as they certainly brighten up the patio. Bingo found several gathered as usual. It is not often that they get to enjoy their favorite game twice in one week. Helping this time were Phyllis Riggs, Cheri Dessinger, Corwin Karr, Phyllis Sickels and Harold Crawford. Guest players were Judy Doolittle and Neil Stanley. Winners were Corwin Karr (guest of Elaine McCampbell), June Steinman, Kathryn Adams, Nina Poore, Sylvia Hall, Margaret Campbell, Darlene Minnick, Virginia Albers, Ada Stanley, Dorothy Sobotka and Catherine Crawford who also won blackout. Karen Schaefer was in to teach Sunday school Sunday morning with Charlotte Swank playing the piano.

Residents enjoy listening to him sing and his sermon. He will be the minister on the third Wednesdays. The shing game was Thursday morning with everyone catching a sh and getting a prize. That is a fun game. Thursday afternoon residents came to the dining room to ll their ower pots they had decorated earlier in the month. They sure look pretty in their rooms. Friday morning after exercise, Jeani and the residents taxed their brains with state capitals and their nicknames and how much they knew about their bodies. The monthly birthday party was Friday afternoon. They played card bingo, which was new to them, and had a good time. All enjoyed ice cream drumsticks after the party.

June 3 - Rain, rain go away, we just cant be happy can we? We got some much needed rain. Wish it could have fallen as a nice gentle rain and without the storms, but the ponds have lled up nicely. Tenants got their tornado drill practice and also the real thing this month. After a few stormy nights they looked forward to a night without having to worry about the weather. June has came in quite beautiful. The other good thing about the rain has been that they have not needed to water outside very often. May started out on a Wednesday so tenants had the regular events of exercise in the morning, church after lunch and this was with Terry Roberts and then shopping/errands uptown followed by dominoes. Other folks having

church this month included Scott Marcum, Alan Smith, Mike Maddy and Sandy Crandell. Liz and the gals had the general store open for business on May 2nd and May 20. The store has quite a variety of things to purchase and, if you just let them know, the girls will be sure to have what you wanted the next time they go to the store. Friday mornings are an extra special coffee time. Tenants have visitors including Janet Hickman and Pastor Skip and others from the Methodist church. On Friday, May 24, tenants also had morning bingo, followed by the Laplanders. Pancakes are enjoyed every other Friday. Pancakes bring out a crowd. May is special for May baskets that all enjoyed on the rst and Mothers Day. They had a nice crowd for the pie social on Mothers Day afternoon. Not only did everyone enjoy good conversation, they had some wonderful pies to eat. Trips this month included Creston, Mount Ayr, Jamies Coffee Mill and Deli, Beantown, Lamoni, Bethany, MO and cemeteries in and around Ringgold county. The Tingley Kitchen Band came on May 14 to entertain. Tenants enjoyed a picnic lunch on Memorial Day and there were folks in and out all weekend to visit. They have enjoyed walks outside and sitting on the porch swings on the days they could and look forward to more swinging. It is so relaxing. Tenants were excited to get new cushions and a sunshade for the west patio since many afternoons and evenings are spent outside. All are also enjoying watching the tomatoes and cucumbers growing.

Coffee With The Girls

News from Cleareld Linda Bell

May 27 (delayed) - Its been a busy week with lots of things going on. Graduations and receptions were held over the weekend. In Cleareld there were several graduates -- Dalton Kinder, Ashley Parrish, Zack Miller, Allison Powell, Maggie Jennett and Kylie Wilson. Others with Cleareld ties were Celine Beggs and Cassie Flowers. Everyone wishes them all well as they go forward. Thursday evening the Lions met. The district governor was there as speaker and also had four awards to hand out to people who did a lot of service for the club and community. They were Ivan Longfellow (daughter Dixie accepted it for him), Jerry Ewalt, Al Rusk and Linda Bell. Linda Bell worked at school today and the only kids in the building were the pre-school kids. All the rest went to Adventureland. During lunch there were more adults than kids there and Linda suggested they all hop in a bus and go have some fun too. Bob Cameron was there too and came down for lunch. Linda said he could drive. Theyd take the handicap bus but thought theyd probably get caught so they just stayed there. Friday Linda Bell helped the custodian, Dennis Brown, set up chairs in the gym and had him set up the sound system so they could use it for the alumni banquet. Saturday, while they were working on the meal for the banquet, Linda turned it on and tested it and it worked ne. But when it was tried out at the banquet, is screeched and squeaked so Linda ran uptown and got the Lions little portable speaker -- battery-operated handy little thing -- and it worked better. The 2013 Cleareld alumni banquet was held on May 25 at 6 p.m. at the school gym. They had 111 reservations and served 115. The United Methodist Women served the meal. Kathy Flams class was the 50-year class this year and she did most of the plans to get together. They were also going to the Lions hall afterward too for more visiting. Delbert Routh had his 65th class together Darlene Stamps her 60th and Carolyn Nelson, the 40th. She told Linda that of her class most of them stayed and made their lives there in Cleareld, so different from other classes. Laura Siverly conducted the meeting and also had some information about the schools dissolutions plans. Next year will be the last year that classes will be in the school. The last graduation ceremony there in school was the class

of 1984 but the alumni banquet will go on. Theyll just have to hold it at the Lions hall or church. Carroll Baker did the roll call and Kathy Flam had the biggest group there, 40 or so, and about 16 of them were the classmates. A good time was had by all and Linda is sure next year there will be a crowd twice as big as usual. Closing this week with: There are deep sorrows and killing cares in life, but the encouragement and love of friends make all difculties bearable. From the coffee table, Linda B. June 3 - Sunday - They were blessed this morning at the Methodist church, Kathy (Nelson) Leonard sang for them. The song she picked was Precious Memories, which was so perfect for Memorial weekend. It was beautiful and it brought a few tears, as they remembered loved ones who are gone but they still have precious memories. This evening it got a little scary around the area. Around 5:30 p.m. they got a call for their daughter, Marcy, to get to the basement. There was a tornado on J23 between Cleareld and Diagonal. Their TV had gone off, No Signal. So, they went out on their deck and were looking east, right over the river there were clouds churning around and some even dripping down and going back up. No, they didnt go to the basement. They watched as it moved south but they turned on KSIB and listened as they had spotters out and their radio did an excellent job of keeping them all informed as to what was going on. There was a touchdown over by Lincoln Parrishs house and three miles south of there. At Carolyn Nelsons place the machine shed had a lot of it blown away. They were fortunate again. It was nothing like the tornadoes they had down in Oklahoma and Missouri this week. Linda Bell worked at school Monday and Tuesday, the last two days of school. It was fun. It as in the pre-school department. If you get the Lenox paper and saw the picture of Jerry Ewalt and his as-

paragus, well, he brought it over to Gaylan and Linda Bells house and left it. Linda took it to school to show the kids and also took a spear to show them what it was supposed to look like. Wow! It was about three and one-half feet long and three to four inches wide. Linda Bell had errands around town Thursday and Friday which also included coffee with the girls at the store. Jeannie always joins them for her break. There was quite a group of them. They talked about what was going on in their lives and also the tractor ride coming to town on Saturday. Linda also got some more donations of bars and pies and asked if more were needed and she said, Yes. There are more than 270 signed up. Saturday - The weather isnt the greatest for the tractor ride but everyone is having a great time. They started rolling into town around 1:30 p.m. Barkers were there with 10 gallons of ice cream in a freezer of the Lions hall and they were out front cranking up another ve gallons. Linda had two coolers of ice water for them but decided to make some coffee too and that was the most popular drink. They hardly drank any water. Linda Bell talked to Dave Reick and he was eating cherry pie with his ice cream and he said, This is soooo good. The Cleareld break stop exceeded his expectations. They had three groups who came through. First was the fast tractors and then the next slower and the last were the turtle speed. They had the Lions hall lled up three times. One bunch would get done. Theyd get the tables wiped off and the next bunch would get to Main Street. They completely lled the street. Chris Leonard had his scaffolding up to the building on the east end of Main Street and Linda gave him her camera to take pictures. She said he really got some good shots. Linda cant wait to get them printed. The last group of tractors pulled out around 4 p.m. and they all went past the nursing home on their way out of town so they could see all the tractors, too. From the coffee table, Linda B.

After Merediths stint in the Army and arrival of their rst born, Meridee, the new family moved from Fort Benning, Georgia to Ames, Iowa where Tamara joined the family in 1969. Daphne put off nishing college to have her family and enter the work world. In Des Moines Kristen and James joined the family in 1971 and 1972 respectively.

Daphne excelled and graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a degree in English. She returned to Graceland to work in admissions.

She and Meredith retired there. Daphne was diagnosed with Alzheimers at age 65.

May 20, 2013 The Ringgold County Board of Supervisors met in regular session Tuesday, May 28, 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 Royce Dredge and seconded by Kraig Pennington to approve the agenda. AYES: Unanimous. NAYS: None. A motion was made by Kraig Pennington and seconded by Royce Dredge to approve the previous minutes. AYES: Unanimous. NAYS: None. The board discussed and approved the employee handbook. Waske will distribute a copy of the handbook to each employee. Josh Rusk with the DNR met with the board to discuss the prairie chicken bridge near Kellerton. Rusk requested an update on the status of repairing this bridge. The board said a culvert will be put in as opposed to a bridge. Pennington said the next bridge to be repaired is the Lil Rinehart bridge. Following this will be the prairie chicken bridge. Pennington added that he is not sure of the time frame on this but will check with engineer Gunsolley and let him know. Rusk felt this is a reasonable plan. The board reviewed applications for the veterans affairs director position. They will forward them on to the veterans affairs commission for their recommendation. Engineer Zach Gunsolley met with the board to provide updates on secondary roads. Gunsolley provided a letter report at Kraig Penningtons request investigating costs of hauling rock from Peru by contract versus hauling rock in-house from Watterson. Peru one-inch clean rock with contract hauling cost approximately $21.28 per ton. By contrast, the same size rock at the Watterson Quarry with hauling in-house cost $20.08 per ton. Rock quality at Peru is better, he said. The average C freeze value for Peru and Watterson is 3.5 and 8.0 respectively. The average abrasion value for Peru and Watterson is 27.5 and 31.0 respectively. Lower numbers mean better quality. Gunsolley added it is unclear how much more time the better quality of rock will last on the road, but it will be monitored. Still, the $1.20/ton extra is worth investigating given the quality difference. Inloes asked when they will know if the Peru rock worked on Wishard Chapel. Gunsolley said it will de___________________________ pend

rock on rock roads department priorities. -- The grassroots public initiative for bringing a second bond question before voters to improve county roads appears to have stalled. -- 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 -- The secondary roads department has cataloged approximately $1,000,000 of ood damage from this springs ooding. -- 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. -- IDOT ofcials conrmed Gunsolleys 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). -- The county engineer has used engineering judgment to conclude that the current condition of rock, seal coat 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 seal coat 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. -- The county engineer stated that some seal coat roads have higher trafc counts than some paved roads and the seal coat roads have never been striped, even though seal coat roads are generally more dangerous than paved roads because of characteristics such as their narrow road tops and generally less passing sight distance. -- 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.

pend on the weather. He thought it will probably be closer to a year after they go through a winter. Gunsolley mentioned he knows the priority on rock hauling is the Maloy road but at this point the crew

needs to haul rock for the Jericho road treatments. Following this, the crew will focus on the Maloy road. The board discussed a possible amount for a FY2014 budget amendment for chips and oil to patch seal coat roads. They suggested $150,000 be taken from reserves to pay for seal coat patchwork. Gunsolley submitted a letter report recommending to the board of supervisors to suspend 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. Gunsolley gave the following supporting information for the recommendation: -- The board of supervisors has instructed the county engineer to make cuts in the FY2014 budget. -- The board of supervisors has directed the secondary roads department to make seal coating rock patches on seal coat roads and more

The Denko crack lling project is complete. $205,254.54 was the original quote with trafc control provided. With negotiated trafc control by the crew the cost came to $189,720.77. The nal invoice paid this week is $173,863.14. Gunsolley and the board were pleased the project came in under budget. Gunsolley noted he and Steve Trullinger will look at roads prior to contractors coming in June. The board discussed 310th street. The safety of the road is becoming an issue, they said. The board agreed to turn the east mile of seal coat back to gravel. The board asked that Gunsolley notify Preston Hayse and Paul Brummeld as they have houses within this mile. Inloes asked if the remaining mile of seal coat near Redding on 310th street also needs to be turned to gravel. Gunsolley feels that portion of the road is in better shape and may last through winter. Pennington agrees with this. Gunsolley mentioned he hired seasonal employees to assist the road crew. There were ve applicants. John Parrott, Tracy Freihage and Curt Jackson were the three hired. Parrott and Freihage started 28th and Jackson starts June 3. Jackson will obtain a license to spray weeds throughout the summer. Gunsolley mentioned July or August the crew will begin work on the prairie chicken bridge. Assessor Morgan met with the board to provide an update on a property tax bill. He also talked to the board about the possibility of creating a county logo to use on letterhead, the website, etc. Pennington will look into this. Morgan also talked to the board about the website. He and Waske are working together to come up with options to improve the site.

News Ringgold cattlemen to participate in beef promotion

Central Iowa commuters will have visions of beef dancing through their heads while traveling throughout the Des Moines metro area during June. Twelve digital billboards will be enticing consumers to choose beef for their grills this summer with larger than life mouthwatering photos of beef positioned throughout the metro area. The six-week promotional campaign, which started in mid-May, is being funded by a partnership between the Beef Checkoff and eleven county cattlemen associations. The Des Moines metro area has 134 times more people than we do in Ringgold County, said Trent Johnson, President of Ringgold County Cattlemens Association. By pooling our money together we can make a greater impact on getting beef on grills this summer. In order to increase demand for beef we need to reach larger population areas. This cooperative effort is allowing us to do just that. The beef industry is concentrating advertising efforts to reach Millennials and Gen X consumers, those between 25 to 45 years of age. This consumer group is not as familiar with the benets of beef as generations before them. They also represent a large portion of our nations growing population. Consumer research indicates this group of consumers drives 153 miles each week. Billboards are a cost-effective tool to reach an inuential consumer group, said Doug Bear, Direct of Industry Relations for the Iowa Beef Industry Council. This billboard campaign is expected to reach nearly 68,000 consumers each day in the Des Moines metro area for a total of over 2.8 million media impressions with an impression cost of less than $0.005. The eleven County Cattlemen Associations participating in this Des Moines metro beef promotion include Adair, Chickasaw, Dallas, Greene, Ida, Madison, Polk, Ringgold, Sioux, Story and Taylor.

Iowa farmers interested in signing up for the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) in 2013 should submit applications by June 14 at their local Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) ofce. CSP is a voluntary program that allows producers to go the extra mile in conserving natural resources, while also maintaining or increasing the productivity of their operations. Eligible lands include cropland, pastureland, rangeland, nonindustrial private forest land and agricultural land under the jurisdiction of an Indian tribe. Acting NRCS chief Jason Weller recently announced the USDA agency will provide about

CSP sign-up deadline June 13

$175 million in funding nationally, for up to 12.6 million additional acres. In 2012, NRCS awarded 552 CSP contracts in Iowa worth nearly $34 million over ve years, covering about 288,000 acres. A CSP self-screening checklist is available to help producers determine if the program is suitable for their operation. The checklist highlights basic information about CSP eligibility requirements, stewardship threshold requirements and payment types. For the checklist or additional CSP application materials, visit your local USDA Service Center or go online to www.ia.nrcs.usda. gov.

ISU answers tree questions

apple cultivar and moist conditions exist. Small, yellow spots begin to appear on the upper leaf surface shortly after the infection. Spots gradually enlarge and become a bright yellow-orange color. These brightly colored spots make the disease easy to identify on apple leaves. Heavily infected leaves may drop prematurely. In late summer, small tube-like structures develop on the underside of the apple leaves. Spores are released from these structures and are blown by wind back to susceptible cedars or junipers, completing the disease cycle. In most cases, cedar-apple rustdoes not cause serious harm to cedars (junipers), apples and crabapples. Apple cultivars, such as Haralson, Red Delicious, Redfree, Liberty and Jonamac, are resistant to cedar-apple rust as are many crabapple cultivars. There are gray-green patches on the trunk of my tree. What are they? Are they harming the tree? The gray-green patches are probably lichens. Lichens are unusual organisms. They consist of two unrelated organisms, an alga and a fungus. These two components exist together and behave as a single organism. The alga provides food via photosynthesis. The fungus obtains water and minerals for itself and the alga. Lichens are common on trees because the bark provides a suitable place to gather sunlight and grow. They grow especially well on dead branches because they receive more sunlight. In addition to growing on the trunks and branches of trees, lichens can be found on exposed soil surfaces, rocks, wooden fence posts, shingles, gravestones, stone walls and other sunny surfaces. Lichens may be at, leafy or branched and hairlike.

Why is the ash tree in the front yard dropping leaves? What are those brownish, orange things in the cedar tree out back? Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach answer questions about trees. Why are my ash trees dropping leaves? The leaf drop is probably due to anthracnose. Anthracnose is a common fungal disease of trees in Iowa. Anthracnose may occur on ash, sycamore, maple, oak, walnut and other deciduous trees. Cool, rainy weather in spring favors anthracnose development. Symptoms of anthracnose vary with the tree species. On ash, brown or black blotches typically appear on the leaets. Affected leaets often become distorted (they tend to curl toward the blighted areas) and fall from trees. Fortunately, anthracnose does not cause serious harm to healthy, well established trees. The affected trees continue to leaf out. Leaves that develop later in spring usually are not affected, as weather conditions are less favorable for anthracnose development. There is no need to apply a fungicide to affected trees. There are some strange looking brownish orange structures in my cedar trees. What are they? Cedar-apple rust is likely responsible for the brownish orange structures. Cedar-apple rust is a fungal disease. It requires both an apple and cedar or juniper to complete its life cycle. On the cedar, the fungus produces reddish brown galls that are up to golf-ball size on young twigs. During wet weather, these galls swell and begin to push out bright orange gelatinous tubular structures. Wind carries fungal spores from these gelatinous structures to susceptible apple or crabapple cultivars. Infection occurs when these spores land on a susceptible
