Robotics camp
introduces kids
to Lego League
By Emilie Jenson
Nathanial Moore got to do a little
more than just play around with
Legos at the Britt Public Library last
week.
Moore was one of about a dozen
local kids who participated in
robotics camp hosted by Iowa State
University Extension as part of an
introduction to the Lego League
program.
“I’m kind of new to this,” he said.
“I have played around with Legos at
home, but here we get to work with
computers and robots and are part of
a team.”
During Friday afternoon’s session,
participants were programming their
Lego-like robots by computer to
compete in a race by starting at the
beginning of a course, crossing two
X’s and then the finish line. It didn’t
matter where the robots finished, as
long as they touched both X’s, which
were placed at various angles.
“You do a lot of back and forth
programming,” said Evan Sloan,
who was serving as a mentor to the
introductory group. “You want to get
it perfect. I’ve been doing this for
three years.”
Malakai Redig said he also
constructs things with Legos at
home, but adding robotics made it
more fun.
“The robots and things make them
move, that’s pretty cool,” he said.
With enough interest, a Lego
League group could be formed
in Britt, Nikki Renner, youth
enrichment coordinator said.
“They can take Robotics 101
in Garner later this summer,” said
Renner. “That’s for kids who want to
know more.”
There are more than 40 kids
involved in the Garner-based group
through the junior, first and FTC
teams.
Renner said the Lego clubs are
about more than just building with
blocks and learning robotics.
“We emphasize core values,”
she said. “We teach teamwork,
professionalism,” she said. “If they
do join a club, then the kids also do a
project and presentation.”
For more information on the
Lego program contact Renner at the
extension office at (641)923-2856.
A Kanawha native will be taking
his track and field skills to the
National Level starting this weekend
when he competes in the 2015 DoD
Warrior Games in Conoco, Va.
Colton Harms, will compete
in the DoD Warrior Games, an
annual
sporting
competition
bringing together wounded, ill
and injured service members and
veterans from across the country.
Soldier and Veteran athletes will
face off in archery, cycling, track
and field, swimming, shooting,
sitting volleyball and wheelchair
basketball.
Harms , a member of the Army
Reserves, started competing earlier
this year when he began his recovery
from knee surgery at Fort Riley, Kan.
At the Warrior Transition Center. He
has participated with the discuss and
shotput and also archery.
“I was in track and field in high
school,” the 2007 West Hancock
graduate said. “I did discuss and
shotput then, but the first time I
actually picked up a bow was just
this past January, so I decided to
stick with that.”
Harms said the athletic activities
have helped him build strength and
have aided in his recovery.
“It’s something I do to help me
recover, and maybe even get better
at the sport,” he said.
He qualified for the national DoD
Warrior Games during the 2015
Army Trials at Fort Bliss, Texas
in April. It was there that he met
several other athletes with various
degrees of injuries and conditions.
“You see all degrees of injury and
disabilities there,” he said. “It’s a
sort of Paralympic event. “
Harms said the bond between
the injured soldiers and athletes has
been the most memorable part of
competition so far.
“We have such a fun time working
BRIEFLY.

together,” he said. “It’s a great
camaraderie. We have fun together,
but aren’t there to take the sports real
serious.”
“Even with a serious injury,
everyone seems happy, even on
a bad day,” he said. “It’s been
amazing to see how some of them
have overcome and adapted and how
we all find ways to make ourselves
better.”
The national games are June 1928. Harms is one of 40 athletes and
five alternates who have qualified.
“It is a great honor for me to be
among all of these athletes, they are

Britt council discusses
search for new police chief
BRITT—The City of Britt will
soon begin the process of searching for a new police chief.
Current Chief Bob Sankey was
expected to submit his official
resignation for approval at a June
15 meeting, but announced earlier
to city officials that he had accepted a position with the Hancock
County Sheriff’s Department.
The council discussed what incentives the city might offer to
keep law enforcement officers in
town for longer periods of time.
“We want to know what it is,”
said Councilman Mike Ostercamp. “Is it compensation, the
hours, the wages?”
“”He said it wasn’t the money,”
said Mayor Marv Hillenga. “That
was the last of his concerns. The
biggest thing was he can retire
five years earlier and there are
more guys on the Sheriff’s Department.”
Councilman Curt Gast suggested
the possibility of adding a fourth
officer to the force, which would
reduce the time required to be on
patrol or call for the officers.
Gast said the cost of reducing
overtime would nearly cover the
salary of a fourth officer.
“You can almost add a fourth officer,” he said.
Ostercamp said the town’s
young police force can have an
impact on turnover.
“We have a young force and they
have a life besides what happens
here.”
The council decided to discuss
options, and talk to the two remaining officers to seek their input on how to proceed, as well as
how to handle police matters in
the interim period between chiefs.
The position will be advertised
with the League of Cities as well
as local newspapers.
The new chief would be expected to be a previously certified officer with experience and would
be required to reside in Britt.

Siemens’ family reunion
The Fourth of July marks the
seventh reunion of the descendants
of William R. and Moderina
Bode Siemens. It is also the 167th
anniversary of the Siemens coming
to America from Germany. William
R. Siemens and his brother, Ulrich,
emigrated from Germany in 1848
to German Valley, Illinois, near
Freeport. In 1880, William and
Moderina, together with their
children, some of whom had
married and had families, moved
to Nebraska and a few years later
to South Dakota. Shared accounts
of these events were published in
1977, by Dorothy Primus, in a book
entitled, “Dear Ones.” The book
tells of the remarkable journey this
family traveled and how they ended
up in Wright County. In 1891, after
several years of drought and crop
failures, some eight or nine families
moved to Iowa. A special train of
14 freight cars, a cooking car, and
a couple of passenger cars brought
about 55 people with household
goods, furniture, farm machinery
and stock animals to Wright County.
From this early beginning in Iowa,
the families have grown into a
multitude of people, from every
walk of life, scattered far and wide.
This
year’s
reunion
and
celebration will be held at the
Student Resource Center on the
campus of Iowa Community
College in Ft Dodge with the theme:
“Faith, family, friends: praise God
from whom all blessings flow.” All
relatives and friends are invited to
attend July 4. Registration and coffee
time is from 8:30-10 a.m. followed
by a delightful program, update,
special music and a buffet lunch. For
reservations or information please
call 406-284-2071 or 406-599-7455.
An Operation LZ (Landing
Zone) Welcome Home event is
being planned for late August in
Forest City. Forty years ago, the last
of the American troops were pulled
off the front lines and bases, ending
a 13-year war in which 58,119
troops were killed and 153,303 were
injured.
Operation LZ Welcome Home is
an opportunity for those who lost
family members, neighbors and
schoolmates to recognize and honor

Bringing butterflies,
birds and bees to the garden
Summer is a good time to attract a
variety of birds and butterflies to your
yard or garden and there are a number
of ways to make that happen.
Creating a butterfly garden is one way
to attract the colorful insect, Yvonne
McCormick, Iowa State University
Extension horticulturalist said during a
Butterflies, Birds and Bees seminar at
the Britt Public Library.
McCormick said having a sunny spot
is the best place for planting a butterfly
garden s butterflies prefer the warmth.
“Keep it in a sunny space, butterflies
don’t fly if it is not 85 degrees,” she
said. “Rocks will also help retain that
warmth.”
She said butterflies need nectar and
larval source plants. Those plants
should be in bloom throughout the
summer season.
“The biggest mistake people say they
make is they only plant one kind of nectar plant,” said McCormick. “You need
multiple plants that bloom throughout
the season. “
She said asters, lilacs and butterfly
bush are all good choices.
Certain plants, such as milkweed, are
also good for the development of butterflies.
“If you find milkweed, leave it,” she
said.

Caterpillars should also be left alone
to live, even if they appear to be a nuisance in the garden.
“No caterpillars means no butterflies,” said McCormick. “And keep a
pesticide free environment. Spot treat
or use alternatives like oils and soaps.”
McCormick said that plants should
be planted in clumps by size rather than
rows.
While bees aren’t meant for everyone
to raise, McCormick and local beekeeper Janie Schrauth also shared how
gardeners can help and contribute the
local bee population.
“Honey bees are on the decline” said
Schrauth. “Habitat loss, extensive land
use and urbanization have led to colony
collapse disorder.”
She said bees contribute to 80 percent
of insect pollination and are needed by
more than 90 varieties of crops.
Those who do have a hive, Schrauth
said, should keep it exposed to the
southeast with good access, a windbreak and good ventilation. She said to
prevent spread of disease, it is best for a
new beekeeper to invest in new equipment.
When working bees, you should
avoid perfume jewelry and sweat.
Avoiding stings is easy, Schrauth said.
“Bees are actually very docile,” she
said. “Stinging would be a very last
resort. Be gentle when roaming and
move slowly.”

The View from Here
by Dennis Guth
Iowa State Senator
District 4
[email protected] • 641-430-0424
The session is finally over,
my crops are growing and I may
be slowing down to being only
as busy as the “average” overly
busy person. Here are a few of the
things from the 2015 session that
encouraged me.
While conservatives certainly
did not get everything we had
hoped for, we were successful in
stopping things like the Bully Bill.
The Governor really wanted a bully
bill this year and all but seven of
us in the Senate voted for it. I am
so grateful to the dozen or so state
representatives who stood strong
to defeat bad bullying language
multiple times. This bill would
have reduced parental rights,
extended school administrator’s
authority beyond school grounds
and reinforced the idea of special
classes of people have more
“rights” than others. The bully bill
had more lives than a cat and was
not officially dead until the last day
of the session.
Another item conservative
legislators worked on for 12 months
was the defunding of organizations
that provide abortions in Iowa. That
was a complicated process, which
required that Iowa take over the
funding of some federally funded
programs in order to have the
control to stop payments to those
organizations. That was a very
hard thing to do in a tight budget
year.
However,
hardworking
conservatives got it done only
to see it bargained away in joint
committee negotiations in the final
days of the session.
The good news is we did get
something in the process. Now,
unless it is a medical emergency,
abortion doctors must offer a
woman the chance to see the
ultrasound of her baby and explain
to her the alternatives of keeping
the pregnancy and keeping the
baby or giving it up for adoption. I
do not know how many babies this
will save since it may be possible
women who come in for an abortion
will not elect to see the ultrasound.
However, it will undoubtedly save
some babies and makes all the
efforts worthwhile. This reminds
us it is important to push for good
legislation, even when it seems
passage is impossible, since it could
be used in final negotiations. We
will be fighting to stop all public
funding of abortion again next year.
Another item that is still
not settled is research into the
10th Annual Iowa Governor’s
Conference on LGBTQ Youth. This
conference, started by Governor
Vilsack, is promoted by a group
called Iowa Safe Schools and is
separate from Governor Brandstad’s
Bullying
Prevention
Summit.
There was quite a stir over it this
year when it was discovered crude
language was used and obscene
acts were described to minors and
a rapper encouraged participants
to identify homophobe’s cars and
slash their tires.
This sounds inappropriate at a
minimum. When the organizer of
the event was asked to produce the
videos of the conference, he stalled,
then finally denied they existed after
claiming some representatives were
on a “witch hunt.” This battle has
not yet been resolved, but I am sure
that next year’s conference could
be different. While this conference
was started by Governor Vilsack, I
would like to see Governor Branstad
hold Iowa Safe Schools accountable
for its actions at this conference.
I am thankful I had the opportunity
to speak out for defending life from
the moment of conception and man/
woman marriage. Near the end of
the session, a friend of mine passed
away at the age of 58. I was moved
to share with the Senate that none
of us are guaranteed tomorrow. We
must be prepared for eternity every
day. 1 John 5:11 and 12 says, “God
had given us eternal life, and this life
is in His Son. He who has the Son
has the life; he who does not have
the Son of God does not have the
life.” It is my prayer my colleagues
are prepared for eternity when their
time comes.
I also spoke to at least four
groups about the need for Christians
to be engaged in the political
process. I was able to share with
pastors who had never been to the
Capitol before and see the light go
on as they saw that they play an
essential part in changing the face of
Iowa government.
I’m looking forward to meeting
as many of you as I can this summer
as I attend events around the district.
If your community has an event that
I should know about or you have
questions about state government,
please contact me. I may be reached
by email at [email protected].

Playing with power
It could have been me.
This Sunday, to kick off this
year’s E3, Nintendo brought back
the Nintendo World Championship
for the first time in 25 years.
Sure, if you want to be cynical,
the championship is little more than
a long advertisement for current and
upcoming games. This was to be expected considering that the original
contest back in 1990 was nothing
more than a huge advertisement for
“Super Mario Bros. 3.”
But that didn’t stop it from being
greatly entertaining, not to mention
a refreshing change from the usual
e-sports scene.
Unlike professional e-sports, the
Nintendo World Championship is
a strictly amateur contest. There is
no prize pool, the contestants aren’t
professional players, and the games
played aren’t balanced for competitive play.
As part of the fun, none of the
contestants even knew which games
they would play from round to
round. In fact, one of the games was
a brand new title that had not been
announced yet.
Generally, the e-sports scene is
dominated by people who know
their game inside and out. The people at the top are the ones that spend
hours perfecting their craft.
But there’s also something to be
said about a gamer that can pick up
a game that nobody has ever played
before and just go with it, and those
were the kind of gamers that made it
to the championship.
Well, half of them at least. Of the
16 contestants, eight were invited
guests made up notable speed runners and YouTube personalities. The
other eight contests were just regular
gamers, selected from an open preliminary round that was held at Best
Buy locations across the nation.
I tried to convince my roommates
to drive up to Minneapolis to give
it a go, just for the fun of it. At the
very least, it would have made for
a fun road trip. Unfortunately, they
showed little interest in the adventure and I didn’t feel like making the
trip alone.
The odds of that any of us would
have qualified for the contest were
slim, but not unreasonable. A childhood, and adulthood, of gaming have
left the mechanics of “Super Mario
Bros” are hardwired into muscle
memory. With a little practice, who
knows what could have happened
had we tried.
Thankfully, Iowa did not go without representation. Among the eight
players that earned their way to the
big stage was Timothy H, other-
wise known as “Timzy,” from West
Union.
Timzy did us proud at first, surviving the first round by winning a
game of “Splatoon.” Unfortunately,
he was knocked out of the main
competition after a 1-3 loss in “Blast
Ball” and eliminated entirely when
he narrowly lost a speed-run contest
of “Super Metroid.”
I’m not saying I would have
done better in Timzy’s shoes, but I
will say that one of my roommates
would have annihilated that “Super
Metroid” round without breaking a
sweat.
The disappointing loss of Timzy
aside, the contest was still enjoyable to watch. Particularly the final
round, where John Numbers, an otherwise ordinary gamer from New
York, dominated a series of crazy
Super Mario levels to win the championship.
Not bad for a guy who made it to
the contest by being really good at
“NES Remix” and having time to
stop at a Best Buy.
Maybe next year I’ll give it a try.

Topic: Skin Cancer
Q: I don’t lie out in the sun so
my chances of getting skin cancer
are low, right?
A: Although sun exposure and
subsequent sunburn increase your
chances of getting skin cancer,
avoiding lying out in the sun does
not completely eliminate you
chance of getting skin cancer. It’s
important to know the facts about
skin cancer and apply the principles
of prevention to decrease your risk
of developing skin cancer. Skin
cancer affects both sexes, all skin
colors and races and is the most
common cancer in the United
States, affecting 1 in 5 people in
their lifetime.
First of all, there are three kinds
of skin cancer: Basal Cell Carcinoma
(BCC), Squamous Cell Carcinoma
(SCC) and Melanoma. BCC is the
most common cause of skin cancer.
BCC develops after years of sun
exposure or indoor tanning. It is
commonly found on the arms, head
and neck but can also be found on
the chest, abdomen and legs. BCC
usually looks like a flesh or pink
colored bump or patch of skin. SCC
House Calls.
Jennifer Rosenmeyer Bringing healthcare to you.
ARNP
provides treatment and care at Britt and Kanawha Medical Clinics
is the second most common cause
of skin cancer and may present as a
scaly patch or a sore that heals and
re-opens. SCC frequently occurs
in areas of sun exposure such as
the edge of the ears, face, neck
and arms. Melanoma is the rarest,
yet deadliest form of skin cancer
and, unfortunately, the number
of Melanoma cases is on the rise.
Melanoma frequently develops in a
mole or as a new dark spot on the
skin. Early diagnosis is crucial to
survival.
Prevention strategies include
applying sunscreen liberally and
frequently, every two hours at
least when outdoors. Staying in the
shade and wearing sun protectant
clothing with hats and sunglasses
also helps to minimize your risk, as
well as staying indoors during the
hours when the sun’s rays are the
strongest, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
It’s also important to avoid indoor
tanning beds at all times. The World
Health Organization categorizes
tanning beds in the same cancer
causing category as tobacco.
As with any cancer, early
detection is the best for a favorable
outcome. If you notice a change in
your skin such as a mole or spot that
changes color, bleeds, or increases
in size, have it examined by your
family doctor or dermatologist.

Kanawha, Iowa
Sen. Chuck Grassley, of
Iowa, has announced that
fall internships for collegeage Iowans are available, and
applications are due July 15.
Internships are available in
Grassley’s Washington, D.C.,
office as well as his offices in
Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs,
Davenport, Des Moines, Sioux
City and Waterloo. The semesterlong internship will run from
August 18 through December 18.
Interns assist staff members
with administrative, legislative
and
communications
work,
including that of Grassley’s staff
on the Senate 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 office is a good
way for college students and new
graduates to learn more about the
legislative branch of the federal
government,
while
gaining
valuable
work
experience.
Internships in my offices are
available to students in all areas
of study,” Grassley said.
Application forms are available
on Grassley’s website and in
Grassley’s offices in Iowa.
Due to security-related delays
in postal mail delivery to
U.S. Senate office buildings,
internship applications should be
emailed to: intern_applications@
grassley.senate.gov or faxed to
202-224-5136.

FAMILY FEATURES
T
his year, recognize dad with the gift he’s really looking forward
to receiving — a feast fit for a steak-loving king shared with
family and friends.
Fire up the grill and serve up robust, savory cuts, such as Omaha Steaks
T-bone or Rib Crown selections for your Father’s Day celebrations. The
T-bone is a thick cut to give you more bone-in strip and butter-tender Filet
Mignon for even the heartiest of appetites, while the Rib Crown is carved
from the most prized part of the Ribeye and is known for exceptional marbling, flavor and tenderness. Both cuts are grain-fed, aged to perfection and
flash-frozen to capture freshness and flavor. Omaha Steaks make the perfect gift, so you can confidently ship them directly to your favorite fellow or
grill them up for him at home.
For more steak recipes for your Father’s Day celebration, visit www.omahasteaks.com.

Rib Crown Steaks with
Roasted Root Vegetables
Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Servings: 4
4 Omaha Steaks Rib Crown Steaks
2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 tablespoons Dad’s Steak Rub
(see recipe)
Roasted Root Vegetables (see recipe)
Thaw steaks overnight in refrigerator
or quick thaw by placing sealed steaks in
sink with water for 15–30 minutes.
Prepare rub and vegetables.
Heat grill on high. Blot dry steaks with
clean paper towel, then brush each side
with cooking oil.
Generously season both sides of steaks
with rub.
Grill steaks to desired doneness. For
medium rare steak, grill for about 5 minutes on first side and 3–4 minutes on
second side.
Serve each steak with vegetables.
Roasted Root Vegetables
Total time: 60 minutes
Servings: 4
2 pounds mixed root vegetables (carrots,
red beets, yellow beets, turnips, celery
root, baby purple potatoes, baby gold
potatoes)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black
pepper
Heat oven to 400°F.
Wash and peel root vegetables. Cut
into even size wedges about 1/2 to 3/4
inch thick.
Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Place on foil lined sheet pan.
Roast for 30–40 minutes or until all
vegetables are done, stirring once half
way through cooking time.
Using the proper
grilling technique
For exceptional steaks every time,
incorporate these tips
from Omaha Steaks
Executive Chef Karl Marsh.
1. Clean and heat your grill on
high.
2. Blot dry any moisture using a
clean paper towel, and then lightly
oil the steak before you put it on the
grill. This helps the searing process
and prevents sticking.
3. Season your food before grilling, preferably with Omaha Steaks
seasonings.
4. Sear the outside of steaks when
grilling. This really helps with the
flavor and juiciness.
5. Use tongs or a spatula to turn
your meat on the grill. Using a fork
can damage and dry out the meat.
6. Cover your grill as much as
possible during the grilling process.
This helps to lock in the grilled flavor and will help prevent flare-ups.
7. Keep a spray bottle with water
handy to douse any unexpected
flare-ups.
8. Use the 60/40 grilling method.
Grill for 60 percent of the time on
the first side, then grill 40 percent
of the time after you turn over the
food. This will give you an evenly
cooked product.
9. Place your cooked product on
a clean plate. Never place cooked
product on the plate you used to
transport the raw product to the
grill without thoroughly washing it
first.
10. Allow your steaks to “rest” for
5 minutes between cooking and
eating. This will help retain moisture when you cut into them.

in educational activities during
the summer,” said Janet Smith,
a human sciences specialist in
family life. “However, many
communities, schools and youth
organizations
have
summer
learning opportunities worth
exploring,” Smith said.
Parents
are
extremely
important in encouraging and
motivating their children during
the summer months, added Lori
Hayungs, also a human sciences
specialist in family life. “We will
explore ways for parents to help
their children discover the joys
of reading and tips to keep those
math skills sharp. We also will
discuss challenges that parents
face when trying to encourage
learning,” Hayungs said.
In June, Smith and Hayungs
will blog about strategies parents
can use to encourage summer
learning. Look for tips on the
blog throughout the month and
a four-minute podcast. Through
the
Science
of
Parenting,
w w w. s c i e n c e o f p a r e n t i n g . o rg ,
ISU Extension and Outreach
specialists share and discuss
research-based information and
resources to help parents rear
their children. Parents can join
in the conversation and share
thoughts and experiences, as well
as how they handle parenting
responsibilities.

“Iowans interested in gardening
and volunteering in their community
should consider joining the Iowa

Denny Schrock, Iowa Master
Gardener coordinator. “We welcome
long-term veterans of gardening,
novices and those with varying degrees
of experience as new trainees.”

Serving Hancock and Kossuth
Counties, Wesley, Iowa
from soil and weed management
to botany and growing all types of
horticultural plants. Since its inception
in 1979, the Iowa program has trained
more than 10,000 participants. To
see a full description of the topics
covered, visit the Hancock County
Iowa Master Gardener website at
http://www.extension.iastate.edu/
hancock/mastergardener.
In partial exchange for training,
Master Gardener participants are
expected to share their time and
knowledge in approved projects within
their local communities. Trainees must
complete a one-year Master Gardener
internship consisting of 40 hours of
approved volunteer service projects.
In subsequent years, to maintain active
Master Gardener status, an additional
12 hours of volunteer service and
6 hours of educational updates are
required annually.
“Master Gardeners may work
at local public gardens, schools,
nursing homes, or other community
beautification
and
educational
projects,” said Schrock. “Some Master
Gardeners answer questions on the
radio, give presentations at gardening
seminars, or discuss plants at local
plant sales. There are many ways to
volunteer.”
The Master Gardener program
is unique both for its community
emphasis and because it is based on
the broad research-based resources
of Iowa State University. Master
Gardeners provide a credible source
of information about home gardening
across Iowa, said Schrock.
Those interested in the training
should contact Amanda Fritz, Hancock
County program coordinator, at 641923-2856. Applications for the Master
Gardener program are due by August
1, 2015.

AMES - For 14 years, Teen Line has given Iowa teens a place to get
their questions answered with reliable and research-based information
through anonymous phone calls or online chats. Teen Line answers
questions ranging from health and wellness to relationships to sexually
transmitted diseases. This hotline is available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.
“Teen Line is a toll-free hotline for Iowa teens,” said Margaret
VanGinkel, human sciences specialist and hotlines coordinator
with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Teen Line
has professionals, most of whom have a background in counseling,
answering calls and online chats to refer teens to other resources or to
just listen, said VanGinkel.
The Iowa Department of Public Health provides reliable
information and resources to Teen Line. Teen Line is partnered with
the Iowa Department of Public Health. However, it is fully managed
and operated by ISU Extension and Outreach.
Paired with Teen Line, the “I Am In Control” website is an
interactive site with information, games and blog posts. The website
content relates to teens on whatever it is that they are going through or
have questions on. Teen Line online chat also can be found on this site.
Around two years ago Teen Line added an online chat allowing
teens another way to communicate. There is a live online chat from
8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday, but teens can still send
messages 24/7.
“We wanted to offer something similar to what teens have today,
like texting,” said VanGinkel. “We actually haven’t gotten too many
chats online but that number has been increasing.”
Teen Line is a safe place for Iowa teens to call or chat online so
they can get the right information to make better health decisions for
themselves. “If teens have those embarrassing questions that they don’t
want to ask their parents or talk to their friends about it, we are here for
them to call and talk to,” said VanGinkel.
For more information on the Teen Line and Teen Line online chat
visit www.extension.iastate.edu/teenline/or www.iamincontrol.org.
Call 1-800-443-8336 or go to the online chat to talk to a professional
for any questions or just to talk. The hotline is available 24/7.
