week of July. Mainline paving
will take place July-October. They
want the westbound lanes open
before Thanksgiving. Work on
the eastbound bridge, another
bridge and grading will continue
through the winter. There will be
one million cubic yards to haul.
•Section 4 and 5. The utilities
are cleared and work is underway.
Negotiations are still underway
for the work to be done on the
Holstein intersection. The goal
is to have this open at the end of
2018. They are also working with
contractors to pave in both directions at Holstein.
•Section 6. Work is being done
on the detour around Schaller for
this section. This detour work is
a little behind schedule but they
hope to be paving in a couple of
weeks.
•Section 1. Moville to Minneso-
ta Avenue: Grading and paving of
the eastbound lanes to begin in
October. There is a letting in October for this stretch and it will be a
two-year project.

have a Dollar General built in
their community and interest
from others concerning possible
building sites within their community. They have upgraded their

acquisition or options being discussed in communities along the
new highway getting ready for
growth and development. He also
read a quote from the Woodbury

work has been coordinated with
the DOT. He reported that a number of intersections with the highway are being cut down through
the construction and this is going
to help the county with snow removal during the winter.
•Barbara Sloniker of the Siouxland Chamber said getting Highway 20 completed as a four-lane
is proving that business follows
the new transportation. She also
stated that Highway 20 Association members have not been wallflowers in getting the message
and support out there. She also
complimented the DOT on holding public meetings to keep the
public informed.

on a mission to recycle and rescue
forgotten relics. Along the way, the
Pickers want to meet characters
with remarkable and exceptional
items. The pair hopes to give historically significant objects a new
lease on life, while learning a thing
or two about America’s past along
the way.
The Pickers are looking for motor scooters, motorcycles, early
furniture, radios, old toys, fishing
items, vending machines, oil bottles, pinball machines, old movie
posters, musical instruments, early game boards, advertising items,
Air Stream trailers, taxidermy animals, early mouse traps, early Boy
Scout items, bicycles, cap guns and
old bowls.

Conservation board gets
update on projects, programs
The Ida County Conservation
Board reviewed various park projects at its July 12 meeting.
Parks Director Paige Alesch
gave the board an update on upcoming naturalist programs. Summer camps are ongoing and are
well attended. After the camps
are completed for the summer
months, regular programs will begin.
Alesch informed the board Nielsen Concrete Construction has
completed the cement patio for
the outdoor classroom. The patio
has been used for programs and is
working out great. Nielsen donated the labor for the project.
Alesch informed the board the
power update project at Crawford
Creek Recreation Area (CCRA) is
still ongoing. The project is half
completed and the contractor will
continue to install the new electri-
cal pedestals throughout the next
month.
The Ida County Conservation
Foundation is moving forward
with its Lipton Bird Room project
at the Conservation Center. Alesch
and board member Don Poggensee updated the board on the progress and features of the bird room.
The room will have a shelving unit
for books, animal mounts and
other educational materials. The
project will also include installing
cameras on the bird feeders that
will give visitors an up-close view
of the birds.
After reviewing the priority list
for CCRA, the board concluded it
would like to focus on updating
the rest of the electrical hook-ups
at the campsites and paving the
camp pads. The board’s goal is to
pave one to two camp pads every
year until completed.
In new business, Alesch informed the board that the conservation board will receive a banner
to help promote Iowa’s Water and
Land Legacy (IWILL). The banner
is free from the Iowa Association
of County Conservation Boards
and will be available for people to
sign at board events. The banner
will then be used as promotional
material for IWILL.
Jakob Kai, who is seeking the
status of Eagle Scout, will be repairing a bridge north of Moorehead Lake on the trails is seeking
funds to complete the project. The
board decided to contribute 25
percent of the cost of the project.
The Iowa DNR has treated both
Moorehead and CCRA lakes for
brittle naiad and the vegetation is
already starting to recede.
The board meeting is Aug. 8 at
7 p.m. at the Conservation Center.
FEMA Smartphone App
helps prepare for disasters
The summer months can bring
natural disasters to Iowa, including tornados and floods. To
help people prepare, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is urging residents
to download and use the FEMA
smartphone app. FEMA officials
are available for interviews to
discuss the importance of preparing for severe weather, and
how specific features contained
in the app can help families stay
safe and recover from disasters.
The app includes:
•An interactive checklist of
items needed in an emergency
that can save lives.
•Immediate severe weather
alerts for up to five counties nationwide, so a family knows what
is happening in their community
and also places where other family members live.

Have you ever wanted to learn
how to make a colorful pumpkin
block or maple leaf table runner?
If so, please join Donna Bremer
and Shelly Tiefenthaler at The
Meeting Place in Galva on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 6:30 p.m. Bremer
and Tiefenthaler will teach a fourpart, beginner quilting class on
Thursday evenings in September
from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
In this four-week class, participants ages 14 and older will learn
the basics of quilting and create a
12-inch by 36-inch seasonal table
runner quilt to take home. The
course will cover a brief history of
quilts, fabric styles and selection,
using tools, reading a pattern and
cutting fabric, piecing techniques,
hand or machine quilting and finishing with binding and a label.
Each participant will need a portable sewing machine in good working condition to use, or Bremer
has one she can loan out. A quilt
show will be part of the last class.
Participants will not need fabric,
supplies or a sewing machine for
the first class meeting. Each class
will grow upon the prior week,
and participants will leave each
class with an assignment to complete. Class dates are Sept. 8, 15,
22 and 29.
There is a fee for the class, and
prepayment is due by Sept. 1 to secure a spot in the class. Class minimum size is six people, and maximum is 14 people, so that each
individual gets ample, one-onone instruction time. To register,

‘Tools For School’ campaign
Last year, more than 90 percent
of teachers across the country used
their own money to pay for school
supplies to assist their students. To
ensure local students and teachers
have the supplies they need this
school year, Shopko and the Salvation Army are partnering once
again on the “Tools for School”
campaign.
Shopko and the Salvation Army
have worked together on the “Tools
for School” program since 2005.
This year, from July 10 through Aug.
12, customers can help local students in need by dropping donated
school supplies in collection bins
that will be located in more than
370 Shopko and Shopko Hometown stores across the country.
“Shopko is proud to partner with
The Salvation Army once again on
the ‘Tools for School’ program,”
said Peter McMahon, Shopko CEO.
“Through the Shopko Foundation,
we support projects that help students succeed in school and become self-sufficient adults. It’s
fundamental to their education
that students have the supplies
that they need to be ready to learn
each day and that’s why the ‘Tools
for School’ project is so important.
Additionally, making sure children
across the community have the
supplies they need prevents teachers from having to take money out
of their own pockets.”
The “Tools for School” program
provides school supplies to stu-
Forty years ago
Ida County’s new tax rates, now
given in terms of dollars and cents
per $1,000 in valuation have been
set by the auditor and approved
by the board of supervisors. The
change in tax rate from mills to
dollars and cents, and an across
the board increase in property
valuations to reflect actual market
value of property were ordered by
the Iowa Legislature. Galva has the
highest municipal rate with $9.52
while Holstein pays the lowest rate
with $6.06 per thousand valuation.
Ida County received the
final authorization to start the
countywide law enforcement
system with first day of service to
be Aug. 1. Delays to the original
July 1 start date came due to
equipment orders and the fleet
of patrol cars. The towns of Ida
Grove, Holstein, Battle Creek
and Galva have all agreed to rent
their police cars to the sheriff’s
department for 15-cents per mile
until new cars are purchased.
Thirty years ago
dents in need in kindergarten
through 12th grade. Beginning
Aug. 10, school supplies are distributed by local Salvation Army
chapters based on community
donations and are available while
supplies last. Children are provided
a pre-packaged bag of school supplies and each family is given one
new backpack.
“The Salvation Army is again
pleased to be partnering with Shopko on the ‘Tools for School’ campaign,” said Jeff Curnow. “Across
the country we see children who
don’t have the basic tools needed to
learn. Shopko’s customers are very
generous year after year.”

Obituaries
The Alternative
Fritz Groszkruger
Preferring local control
Back in the days when socialism
was failing in the Soviet Union (The
system failed, Ronald Reagan had
nothing to do with it), I had a friend
who traveled to Latvia on a farm tour.
I remember what he found when he
got there.
Imagine a field of oats, just beginning to head out, a stunted pale yellow with cracked soil easily visible
through the canopy. The farmer had
actually planted the oats in the rain
because the call had come from Moscow 500 miles away, that it was time.
The farmer ignored local conditions
to be loyal to the central authority
that had promised social justice at
any price.
I doubt that any farmer hasn’t
longed for the comfort of following
orders at a job rather than the risk
and responsibility of ownership.
The dairy operation was also an
eye opener for the American tourist.
No directive ever came for a manure
management plan. The manure was
pitched out of the barn, apparently so
they could walk around in there and
that was it. When there was no room
outside the doors and windows to
pitch more, an elevator was set up
and the manure deposited several
feet from the barn until it reached
up to the outlet of the elevator. The
elevator was swung around in a half
circle until the manure reached the
top in all possible directions. Then
another elevator was brought in.
The oats lacked fertilizer in the
hard baked mud. The farmer never
hauled the manure onto the fields
and he planted in the worst possible
conditions. How could this happen?
The Brexit vote can shed a light
on events that led up to the terrible
management of that farm.
The most basic unit of government
is the individual. Next we are part of
a family, then a neighborhood, then
a town and so forth. Each step away
from ourselves lessens the importance to us and also the quality of
our decisions. It can’t be helped, as
illustrated by the failure of the Latvian farmer and his Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics.
It could be argued that, not only is
the European Union too big, but England is too big as well. There is evidence that there are neighborhoods
in England where Sharia Law rules
above the law of jolly old England.
Space limits the description of the
difference, but believe me, English
Common Law is what we are used to
and Sharia is not.
This is a direct result of a government that tries to be inclusive of too
many cultures. Scotland and Ireland
have become dependent on handouts from Mother England. Their
economies have been weakened by
the presence of someone else available to pay for careless management
so they voted to remain in the union.
Greece’s welfare state may have
grown to unsustainable proportions
with their dependence on the EU.
But do the people of the more frugal
and productive nations in the union
deserve to spend part of each workday stuffing grape leaves for slothful
olive farmers?
So far nothing has been written
about actual consequences of Brexit, only about the emotional reactions rooted in the uncertainty of
the change. But if you lived there
would you like the EU (funny how
that sounds like something stinks)
making regulations to suit an entire
continent? You can’t recycle a teabag? A child under eight can’t blow
up a balloon? You can’t use better
windows in trucks to make cyclists
more visible?
Here in the U.S. we had a perfect
example of a union of states that
could compete and thus improve
themselves or face loss of population.
There is no federal constitutional authority for the laws that limit that
competition today. There is no federal law against murder. If one state
wanted a law making abortion legal,
and another didn’t, the competition
between the morally debased abortion state and the one that valued
all its citizens would eventually sort
out which society failed and which
one flourished. The same would hold
true for any number of issues: homosexual marriage, drug prohibition,
corporate welfare and environmental regulation come to mind.
I hope the Brexit vote inspires
more governments to downsize and
serve their people more efficiently. Our own Civil War was a turning
point in American history. At least
600,000 people died to preserve a
union that now rewards nonsense
over voluntary relations.
We can be thankful to the EU for
not resorting to murder to stifle
Brexit, like Lincoln did.
Any feedback on this would be
appreciated through a letter to this
paper or an email to: [email protected]. More diverse
musings can be had at www.alternativebyfritz.com.
To keep our readers better informed, funeral information will be posted
to our website (www.holsteinadvance.com) within hours of receiving it at our office.

Grants
available for
tree planting
Trees For Kids grant applications are now available for the fall
2016 grant cycle. The Trees For
Kids grant program is designed
to provide hands-on educational
opportunities for Iowa youth by
planting trees on school grounds
and other public places.
Iowa DNR forestry staff are currently setting up site visits with
schools and communities interested in applying for the grant,
which pays up to $5,000 in tree
and mulch cost, and provides educational tree planting demonstrations to participating adults and
youth.
This past spring, 20 schools
and/or communities received
more than $62,000 in Trees For
Kids grants to plant more than 900
trees around the state. Over the
life of these trees, they will save
more than 310,000 kilowatt hours
of electricity by shading buildings
and more than 68,000 therms, by
slowing winds and reducing building heat loss.
During their lifespan, the 900
trees planted this spring will help
reduce looding by intercepting
more than 39.8 million gallons of
storm water, and will reduce more
than 5.3 million pounds of atmospheric carbon dioxide through
CO2 sequestration and decreased
energy production needs and
emissions.
Trees planted around schools
and in neighborhoods have also
shown to give youth increased levels of concentration, lower levels
of aggression, lower levels of obesity and fewer symptoms of ADHD.
To download the grant application, go to: http://www.iowadnr.

Grassley fall internship
applications due Aug. 1
Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa
said July 14 that the deadline for
fall internships for college-age
Iowans has been extended. Applications will now be accepted
through Aug. 1.
Internships are available in
Grassley’s Washington, D.C., ofice as well as his ofices in Cedar
Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Sioux City and
Waterloo. The semester-long internships will run from Aug. 22
through Dec. 16.
Interns assist staff members
with administrative, legislative
and communications work, including that of Grassley’s staff on
the Committee on the Judiciary,
where he serves as chairman. An
internship allows for a wide range
of learning experience and exposure for students on Capitol Hill.
Grassley said he encourages
young Iowans who are interested
in learning more about the government to apply. “Interning in
a congressional ofice is a good
way for college students and new
graduates to learn more about
the legislative branch of the federal government while gaining
valuable experience. Internships
in my ofices are available to students in all areas of study,” Grassley said.
Application forms are available on Grassley’s website and in
Grassley’s ofices in Iowa. Due to
security-related delays in postal
mail delivery to U.S. Senate ofice
buildings, internship applications
should be emailed to [email protected] or
faxed to 202-224-5136. For additional information, [email protected] or call
202-224-3744.

Ida County deputies
make six arrests
Human skull
sent to forensic
anthropologist
On July 12, Stephen Ray Copeland, 56, of Odebolt was arrested
and charged with driving under
suspension following a traffic
stop in rural Ida County. He was
transported to the Ida County jail
where he was held overnight. He
was released the following day
after appearing before the magistrate.
On July 13, Jeremy Schmidt, 26,
of Danbury was arrested on an
outstanding Ida County warrant
for contempt of court. He was
booked into the Ida County jail
and later released after posting
$300 bond.
On July 13, Jason Leon Engelking, 43, of Ida Grove was arrested and charged with trespassing
after deputies responded to a citizen complaint in Ida Grove. He
was transported to the Ida County
jail and later released after posting $300 bond.
A human skull was found in southern Sac County, along the Raccoon
River late in the afternoon on July 11.
The skull was transported to the
State Medical Examiner’s Office on
July 12. Preliminary results suggest
that the skull is that of a Caucasian
adult male. The upper and lower
jaws are missing. The skull has been
forwarded to a forensic anthropologist in Kansas City for further examination to try and determine how old
the skull may be.
The Sac County Sheriff’s Office and
the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation will determine the next steps
in the investigation based on the reports from the forensic examination.
The Ida County Sheriff’s Office
has released information on six arrests made during the past week.
On July 9, David Eldo Thompson, 43, of Sutherland and Shauna Lee Boyer, 33, of Cudahy, Wis,
were both arrested and charged
with public intoxication and trespassing after the sheriff’s office
received a citizen complaint. Both
were transported to the Ida County jail and later released after
posting $600 bond.
On July 10, Garvin Eual Lorenz
Olivarez, 19, of Storm Lake was
arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and possession
of drug paraphernalia following a
traffic stop in rural Ida County. He
was transported to the Ida County
jail where he was held overnight.
He was released the following day
into the custody of the Buena Vista
County Sheriff’s Office on an outstanding warrant.
Structure fire
The Galva Fire Department was
called to the Brian Young farm at
1055 190th St. July 14 at 12:50
p.m. to extinguish a structure fire.
An earlier fire reignited and
spread to the shop. The fire department was at the scene two
hours.
Special blanket: Donations to the “Cares for Kids” fund at Buena
Vista Regional Medical Center in Storm Lake have been used to
purchase the latest Bilisoft blanket for the First Embrace Obstetrics
Department. The Bilisoft blanket is used to treat jaundice in newborns. The family and health care staff can wrap, hold and feed the
baby during phototherapy, which promotes a healing environment
for the newborn. The cost of the Bilisoft blanket was $5,500. Donations to the “Cares for Kids” fund are used for the needs of children
served at BVRMC. Pictured are members of the BVRMC OB department staff with the Bilisoft blanket. (Photo submitted)

Battle Badgers discuss fair activities
The Battle Badgers 4-H Club
met July 9 at the Ida County Fair
grounds after pre-fair clean-up.
The meeting was called to order
by Madeline Else with members
answering roll call “Name your
favorite fruit.” The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Kaylee Blenner.
The treasurer and secretary reports were given and approved.
New business included information on events coming up at
the fair. Clothing and communications judging was on July 13 in Ida
Grove. Exhibit hall judging for our
club was on July 19 at 9 a.m. at the
fair grounds. Club members were
reminded if they entered items in
the exhibit hall, they were to help
set up the club booth after their
items were judged that morning.
The Ida County Fair dates are
July 20 to July 24. All members
must wear a wristband throughout the duration of the fair. This
wristband can be paid for in the
fair office or Extension office for
$10. As a club, we decided to spend
money on a fair basket that would
be auctioned off one evening at the
fair. A committee was formed and
the group will get the basket ready
in time for that night.
The 4-H Pledge was led by
Kinzey Dutler. Following our meeting, we enjoyed pizza, fruit and
water donated by the members.
The next meeting will be in September and we will let you know
more information at a later date.

Three child drowning deaths prompt reminder
The Iowa Office of the State
Medical Examiner (IOSME) and
the Iowa Department of Public
Health (IDPH) issued a reminder for parents and caregivers to
keep a close eye on children playing in or around water. According
to IOSME, three children have
died from drowning during the
week of July 5-9.
“Since July 5, we’ve had two
two-year-olds and one six-yearold die from drowning,” said acting State Medical Examiner Dennis Klein. “Adults losing track of
the children for several minutes
appears to be a major factor in
these drownings.”
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), drowning is the leading
cause of death by unintentional
injury in children between the
ages of one and five.
Iowans should remember water safety year-round in pools,
spas, indoor water parks and
aquatic facilities. During the
summer, equal attention needs
to be paid when visiting beaches
and lakes. “Parents and caregivers must provide direct supervision to all young children and
non-swimmers, even when lifeguards are provided,” said Debbi Cooper, IDPH Environmental
Health Specialist. Other safety
tips to remember when near or
in water:
•Use lifejackets for non-swim-
mers to bridge momentary lapses in supervision.
•All Iowans, children and
adults alike, should use lifejackets on recreational waters.
•Learn to swim and teach your
children as well. Formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk
of drowning, particularly among
young children.
•Provide fences with self-closing, self-latching closures around
swimming pools and spas.
•Avoid alcohol use while swimming or supervising children.

SafeChild/Drowning/index.html.
Quitline can help smokers quit smoking
According to the 2016 County
Health Rankings, 18.5 percent of
adult Iowans smoke. The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates nearly seven
out of 10 smokers want to quit;
however, quitting smoking is hard
and may require several attempts.
People who stop smoking often
start again because of withdrawal
symptoms, stress, and weight gain.
Even so, benefits of quitting tobacco far outweigh the challenges.
Health benefits of quitting smoking include:
•Lowered risk for lung cancer
and many other types of cancer.
•Reduced risk for heart disease,
stroke and peripheral vascular
disease (narrowing of the blood
vessels outside your heart).
•Reduced heart disease risk
within one to two years of quitting.
•Reduced respiratory symptoms, such as coughing, wheezing,
and shortness of breath. While
these symptoms may not disappear, they do not continue to progress at the same rate among people who quit compared with those
who continue to smoke.
•Reduced risk of develop-
ing some lung diseases (such as
chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, also known as COPD, one
of the leading causes of death in
the United States).
•Reduced risk for infertility in
women of childbearing age. Women who stop smoking during pregnancy also reduce their risk of
having a low birth weight baby.
Many former smokers say they
were also motivated by non-health
related reasons, including saving
money, getting rid of yellow teeth,
smelling better and because they
wanted to take control of their
lives. Studies by the CDC show
your chances of quitting for good
are much better if you take advantage of programs that offer professional support.
Quitline Iowa is one of those
programs. Quitline Iowa is a free
telephone support service that
can help people who want to stop
smoking or using tobacco with
several types of quit information
and services, including:
•Free support, advice, and counseling from experienced Quitline
coaches
•A personalized quit plan
•Practical information on how
to quit, including ways to cope
with nicotine withdrawal
•The latest information about
stop-smoking medications
•You may be eligible to receive
free Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)
•Referrals to other resources
•Mailed self-help materials
•Online Help
According to the American Cancer Society, the decision to quit
using tobacco has nearly immediate results. Within 20 minutes,
your heart rate and blood pressure drop. Within 12 hours, the
carbon monoxide level in your
blood drops to normal. Within two
to three months, your circulation
improves and your lung function
increases. After one year of living
tobacco free, the excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a
continuing smoker’s.

Raptors baseball season comes to an end
Ridge View’s baseball season came to an end July 14 in
the semifinal round of the district baseball tournament where
the Raptors lost to Remsen St.
Mary’s 9-1.
Ridge View finished the season
with a 12-17 record overall.
St. Mary’s 9, Ridge View 1
Remsen St. Mary’s scored three
runs in the first inning and rode
that strong start to a victory over
Ridge View. St. Mary’s added
three runs in the third, two in the
fourth and one in the sixth. Ridge
View’s lone run came in the sixth.
“St. Mary’s is a good team,” noted Raptor coach Shannon Tesch.
“They are some tough outs. We
had trouble getting much going
offensively, but give St. Mary’s
credit. They pitched well and
made some big plays defensively.”
St. Mary’s improved its record
to 27-5.
Ridge View’s offense consisted
of six hits. Slapping singles were
Peyton Boyle, Colt Wandrey, Joe
Kenny, Jake Mitchell, Alex Pickhinke and Garret Lamp.
Three Ridge View pitchers
combined to give up nine runs,
four earned, on seven hits, three
walks and four strikeouts.
Coach Tesch said it’s tough to
say goodbye to 12 seniors. The
seniors are Peyton Boyle, Zach
Kenny, Grant Anderson, Joe Kenny, Marcus Prell, Kyle Schiernbeck, David Tiefenthaler, Colt
Wandrey, Garret Lamp, Jackson
Graff, Ryan Currie and Alex Pickhinke.
Ridge View 6, WC 1
A four-run fifth inning powered Ridge View to a five-run win
over Woodbury Central in a first
round district tournament game
July 12. Woodbury had won the
previous two meetings between
the two clubs.
Alex Pickhinke was the winning pitcher, going the distance.
He limited the Wildcats to one
earned run on four hits and no
walks while striking out three
batters.
Joe Kenny had three hits and
two RBI. Colt Wandrey tripled
and singled and drove in three
RBI. Pickhinke had one double.
Adding single hits were Peyton
Boyle, Grant Anderson and Jake
Mitchell. Garret Lamp had an RBI.
Kuemper 3, Ridge View 2
Carroll Kuemper nipped the
Raptors in an eight-inning con-
test in Holstein July 8. The game
was the final regular season contest for Ridge View.
Kuemper took a 2-1 lead into
the bottom of the seventh inning. Ridge View pinch runner
Jake Tokheim scored on a single
by Grant Anderson to tie the game
and force extra innings. Kuemper
scored the winning run on a wild
pitch in the top of the eighth inning. Ridge View was unable to
score in the bottom of the eighth.
“This was the last regular season game for both teams. It was
a good tune up for the postseason. It felt like a great postseason
atmosphere,” noted Ridge View
coach Shannon Tesch.
Ridge View got doubles from
Colt Wandrey and Alex Pickhinke.
Two singles from Jake Mitchell
and one single each from Grant
Anderson and Garret Lamp.
Peyton Boyle pitched the first
five and one third innings, giving up four hits and three walks
while striking out three batters.
Kuemper scored two earned
runs on Boyle. Wandrey finished
out the game and was charged
with the loss. He allowed one unearned run on one hit, no walks
and four strikeouts.
Floating the river is an Iowa summertime tradition
Swimming, canoeing and floating the river on tubes is a summertime tradition in Iowa. But as
relaxing and enjoyable as a river
float is, it does come with an element of risk.
Iowa rivers are dynamic systems in a constant state of change
and can hide obstacles just beneath the water surface. Todd
Robertson, with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Water
Trails Program, said river users
can enjoy the scenery while keeping an eye downstream to avoid
any hazardous surprises.
“We’ve had some reports of
trees being blown over during the
recent storms and blocking parts
of different rivers. We would encourage paddlers and tubers to
watch for fallen trees and other
hazards that can pull you in and
suck you under the water,” he
said.
“This is the busy season for
floating our rivers. When we have
consistent hot weather, there
is an increase in the number of
paddlers and tubers and we want
everyone to be mindful that our
rivers are in a constant state of
change.”
Robertson said there are a few
tips to keep you safe on the river.
Wear your life jacket: Life jackets, when properly fastened and
cinched, have saved lives. Life
jackets are mandatory for any
child under 13 in any vessel underway in the state of Iowa.
Know the weather forecast: Always get off the water if lightning
is in the area.
Recognize and avoid hazards:
Most water incidents involve an
obstruction – downed trees and
branches create a “strainer” effect
that can trap boats and people under water, sometimes leading to
drowning. A bridge pier or boulder can get a boat pinned on its
upstream side. Low-head dams
can re-circulate, trap and drown
victims. These hazards are most
difficult to avoid at mid to high
range flows.
Consider your experience: Novice paddlers and tubers generally have less control as rivers get
swifter and should factor in more
caution.
Beat the heat: Dehydration,
heat exhaustion stroke and heat
exhaustion can become serious
problems by mid-summer. Bring
plenty of water on river trips, cool
off periodically by getting yourself wet or swimming, use sunscreen and for tubing or paddling
trips make sure to choose shorter
trips when the river’s flow is low.
Set the example for your kids:
Be vigilant with kids in rivers,
make sure they wear their life
jackets before getting in the water and explain to them the other
safety points on this list.
Watch your kids: Even with a
life jacket, be aware of common
river hazards and keep a watchful
eye on kids in a river at all times,
to help them avoid hazards such
as woody debris and other objects, or low-head dams.
Other factors: You can improve
your odds by not consuming alcohol, considering weather factors
and being vigilant about what’s
around the next bend.

runner is able to get back to bag in a game played earlier this season. Ridge View’s 2016 season came

Local area fishing report
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issues a fishing report compiled from information
gathered from local bait shops,
angler creel surveys, and county
and state parks staff.
For more information about
lakes and rivers in this area call
the Black Hawk District Office in
Lake View at 712-657-2638 or go
online at iowadnr.com.
Black Hawk Lake—Water level
is about 10 inches over the crest
of the spillway.
Bluegill - Good: Bluegill fishing
is good in one to four feet of water. Use a small jig tipped with live
bait, small piece of crawler or wax
worms fished below a bobber.
Walleye - Slow: A few have been
picked up in deeper water near
rock piles and dredge cuts. Try
fishing the shore off Ice House
Point, the dredge cut out from
Denison Beach and the rock piles
near Gunshot Hill and in the east
basin of the lake.
Largemouth bass - Fair: Use
top water, weedless baits or Texas rigs. Try also fishing plastic
worms near cover and drop offs.
There is a 15-inch minimum
length limit for largemouth bass
on Black Hawk Lake.
Channel catfish - Fair: Anglers
have picked up catfish on stink
bait, leeches and worms fished
off the bottom. Anglers are having
success in Town Bay. Fish are 1720 inches.
Storm Lake (including Little
Storm Lake)—The dredge is in
operation in the northeast portion of the lake. Boaters should
use extreme caution in this area
and must maintain a 100-foot
distance from the dredge, booster pump and all dredge pipes at
all times. Storm Lake has a daily
limit of three walleye and all 17 to
22-inch walleye must be released;
no more than one walleye longer
than 22 inches may be taken per
day.
Walleye - Fair: Most of the walleye action has been on crankbaits
fished in the dredge cuts. A few
have been picked up from shore
with leeches and crankbaits.
Channel catfish - Fair: Anglers
reported catching catfish from
shore using stink bait or cut bait
fished off the bottom.
Meeting on the mound: Ridge View baseball coach Shannon Tesch goes over strategy with his players
during a meeting on the pitcher’s mound during a game played earlier this season. Ridge View’s 2016
season came to an end July 14 with a 9-1 loss to Remsen St. Mary’s in the district semifinal. (Advance
