Belva Deer Trail
Belva Deer Park trailhead at the intersection of 240th Ave and Highway 92. (Photo by Amber Kephart)
By Amber Kephart,
Regional Manager
In 2006 a road project was started to make the entrance
into Belva Deer Park hard surfacing, which lead to a family
friendly nature trail project as well. The purpose of this trail
is to allow more biking and running. The trails that are currently offered at Belva Deer Park are more geared towards
hiking and equestrian riding. Once camping season begins
if you travel out to Belva Deer Park, you will likely see many
children riding on bikes.
Currently, the Keokuk County Highway Department is taking care of getting the trail useable. There are currently three
phases to this project. The first phase is the rough grade,
which has already taken place, the re-grade, which will be
taking place during fiscal year 2016, and the final phase will
be hard surfacing the trail. There is already federal money
set aside for the hard surfacing portion of this project. Once
phase 2 is complete, potentially spring 2017, it will be usable.
Andrew McGuire, Keokuk County Engineer, has a goal of
not using highway funds to finish this project. They have received several monies through grants and donations, with a
portion of funds coming from RPA 15. RPA 15 is for alternative transportation methods. They set money aside specifically for trail projects. Once more progress is completed;
there may be opportunities for additional outside funding.
The Keokuk County Conservation Board and Keokuk County Endowment Fund are just a couple of other organizations
that have given donations to the project.
The entrance (trailhead) will be at the intersection of 240th
Ave and Highway 92, it will travel down 240th Ave to Belva
Deer Park, where you will turn around and head back to the
trailhead, measuring out to be a three mile trail. Once this
project is complete, it will be usable year round. The Keokuk
County Conservation will take over the trail once it is complete. Keokuk County Conservation will maintain the trail
and mow around it.
Sigourney Area Development Corporation Board
(SADC) gets a new President and Vice President
By Amber Kephart, Regional Manager
Lucas Meier became President of SADC
after serving as Vice President for a few
years. When Pat Miletich stepped down as
President the board was looking for someone new. Meier volunteered to do it after
the SADC executive committee asked if he
would be interested. The President facilitates monthly board meetings and works
with other Sub Committees of SADC
(Community Betterment, Retail, Industry,
Marketing, etc.) to achieve their goals.
The executive committee nominated Rick
Landgrebe as Vice President of SADC and
the board voted, giving Landgrebe the title
of Vice President. Landgrebe just reached
four years of being on the SADC board. His
duties will include helping new businesses
in town, assist new businesses wanting to
move to the Sigourney area and talk with
executive director, Jim Dickinson.
The Community Betterment Grant Program (CBGP) is to make available grant
funds to encourage the physical improvement and appearance of the Sigourney
business areas and business properties.
SADC is the administrator for the CBGP
and will set procedures, disburse/collect/
analyze/recommend approval of grand
applications and answer questions. The
City will make final approval of all applications, inspect projects and disburse
payment of grant proceeds. Home based
businesses may apply for funding up to
$500. All other applications may apply
for any amount up to $2,000. If you are
a local business you make get a grant application year round at the City Clerk’s
office, the SADC office or online at www.
sigourney.com. Applicants have until April Lucas Meier, Sigourney Area Devel- Rick Landgrebe, Sigourney Area De30 at 12 p.m. to be considered for that opment Corporation’s (SADC) new velopment Corporation’s (SADC) new
year’s funding.

Sippin’ Green Beer This Year? Find a Safe Ride Home
St. Patrick’s Day has become one of the deadliest holidays due
to the number of drunk drivers on the roadways. That’s why
the Iowa Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) Governor’s
Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) warns Iowans to not drink and
drive this St. Patrick’s Day.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2014, 28-percent of all crash fatalities
during the St. Patrick’s Day weekend involved drunk drivers,
and that number rose to nearly half in the post-party hours
of midnight – 6:00 a.m., of March 18, 2014.
Pedestrians walking while intoxicated are also at risk as lack
of attention risks getting hit by a vehicle. In 2014, 35-percent
of the pedestrians killed in crashes had a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher.
There is some good news, however. The number of fatalities over this holiday period decreased nationally from 32 in
2013 to 29 in 2014. Likewise, the number of fatalities involving drunk drivers declined from more than one-third to onefourth. The bad news is that every one of those deaths could
have been prevented.
Don’t let your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations end in tragedy. The Iowa Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau encourages
Iowans to plan ahead by identifying a designated driver or
utilize another form of safe transportation if you choose to
drink this St. Patrick’s Day. The relatively small fee for a safe
ride home is much cheaper than the thousands of dollars it
will cost for a drunk driving arrest.
Let’s make this St. Patrick’s Day safer this year! Extra law
enforcement officers will be on the roads March 16 – 19,
2016, to keep Iowa motorists safe. Whether you’re buzzed or
drunk, it doesn’t matter. Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving –
drive sober and remember to buckle up!

Keokuk County Democratic Convention
Saturday, March 12 in the Courthouse
The 2016 Keokuk County Democratic Convention will be held this
Saturday, March 12, at the Keokuk
County Courthouse Third Floor
Courtroom. Doors will open at 9:00
a.m. for registration and the convention will be called to order at 10:00
a.m. The Courthouse north door is
the correct entrance, as there is access
to the elevator just inside the door.
40 delegates and 80 alternates will be
participating. Selection of presidential
candidate representation at the district
and state levels, selection of platform
resolutions to carry to district and
state, and election of local Democratic Central Committee leadership are
some of the items on the agenda, while
introducing state and local candidates
who may be in attendance.
The Convention is open to the public
as observers. Contact Chair - Mary
Krier at 641-622-3207 for further information.”
Join us on Sunday, March 20 from 2
p.m. to 4 p.m. for this season’s final
Arts & Crafts Sunday at the Richland
Public Library. This month we’ll feature an adult coloring program complete with coloring books, coloring
“tools”, music and snacks.
Adult coloring is really huge right
now. Nine of Amazon’s 2015 top
20 bestselling books were coloring
books. According to the New York
Post, the coloring trend started in
2011 with Johanna Basford’s book,
The Secret Garden, which first took
off in France and then quickly spread
worldwide. It was reported that coloring was so popular in Brazil that the
nation ran into a shortage of colored
pencils!
Many of today’s coloring books claim
that coloring provides relief from
stress and anxiety and improves focus. A perfect way to relax, be cre-
ative and have fun!
Are you new to the coloring “craze”?
We will provide a variety of colored
pencils, gel pens, markers and crayons from several companies. This
program will be a good opportunity
to try out different products before
purchasing them. If you are already
an experienced “colorist”, feel free to
bring your own colors for your own
personal use.
We will provide coloring books for
use including the artist’s edition of Johanna Basford’s Secret Garden, which
is printed on card stock and suitable
for framing, as well as smaller projects such as post cards.
If you would like to attend this program, please register by March 18th by
calling the library at 319.456.6541 or
emailing us at richlib@iowatelecom.
net. This program is free and open to
teens and adults.
Color your way to fun
and relaxation at the

Everett Eugene Manning
Everett Eugene Manning passed away at his home Wednesday, Feb. 17,
2016 in Laguna Niguel, California. He was born March 11, 1942 in Iowa.
Everett was loyal, patient and the epitome of a family man that loved his
wife of 50 years, son and daughter,
grandchildren and siblings unconditionally.
Everett was the son of Iowa farmers
and grew up with humble beginnings,
only to create a life journey of selfless
giving and greater accomplishments
as a true American and strong believer in Christ.
Everett started his young adulthood
serving his country and received an
honorable discharge from the US Marine Corps as an E-4 Corporal (CPL),
he proudly served 4 years active duty
and 2 years inactive duty.
Everett proceeded to attain higher education in the engineering field and
began his career with incredible work ethics and evolved to become an
in-demand asset to Corporate America.
In 1986 Everett became an entrepreneur, he created a start-up family business TMS (Technical Maintenance Support) located in Foothill Ranch, it
is now a 30-year-old successful and generous company that donates consistently to charitable organizations. Everett also took pleasure in spontaneously helping people in everyday financial difficulties.
Everett was an avid sports fan and enjoyed video gaming, he was a lover of
life with a quiet, tolerate and patient demeanor, he was known as a mentor
and when he spoke it was out of wisdom, intelligence and understanding.
“The angels looked down from heaven one night
They searched for miles afar,
And deep within the distance
They could see a shining star.
They knew that very instant
That the star was theirs to gain,
So they took you up to heaven
Forever to remain.
Look down on us from heaven
Keep us free from hurt and pain,
You’ll always be within my heart
Until we meet again.”
He is survived by his wife, Carol Manning, daughter, Corrinne D. Manning, son, Everett E. Manning II (Wendy S. Manning), grandsons: Michael
J. Manning (27), Everett E. Manning III (24), Gage H. Manning (20) and
Cade K. Manning (16) his sisters: Opal Wiggins, Carol Payne and one brother, Lyle Manning.

Bipartisan Oversight Will Protect Vulnerable Iowans
Despite its disappointing and
troubling start, the Branstad-Reynolds Medicaid privatization plan is
moving forward. Our job now is to
ensure Iowa’s health care safety net
remains strong. After all, every one
of us is just one accident or illness
away from needing Medicaid help.
If your parent, spouse or child
has a severe disability, chances are
they’ll be on Medicaid. In fact, most
Medicaid dollars help our elderly
and Iowans with disabilities. We’ll
protect them with tough, bipartisan oversight and accountability
measures for the out-of-state corporations that will be running the
program.
Senate File 2213, which won bipartisan approval in the Senate, will
safeguard the interests of Medicaid
members, encourage the participation of health care providers, and
ensure the tax dollars of hard-working Iowans are spent properly.
We’ll also continue to make system improvements by:
• 
Requiring stronger consumer
protections, rate and payment regulation, data collection and evaluation.
• Creating a fund to finance improvements.
• Providing a comprehensive review of program integrity.
• Enhancing the role and responsibilities of the Health Policy Over-
sight Committee.
• Assigning authority to a Managed Care Ombudsman.
• Expanding the Medical Assistance Advisory Council.
All of this is necessary because
the Branstad-Reynolds Administration took a “too much, too fast”
approach to Medicaid privatization.
The federal government imposed
two delays, but with implementation
coming April 1, Iowans are urgently
speaking out. Every Iowa legislator
has heard from them.
With so many unanswered questions, oversight is a must. We can’t
let privatization hurt the very people
Medicaid is supposed to help.

Tales of the Ancient Sportsman
By Burdell Hensley
What a fun week at the Girl’s State
Basketball Tournament. A ton of
memories flooded back to this old
coach and I enjoyed the week. I must
say that the current five-player game
will never generate the excitement of
the six-player game. But the current
game is improving and the crowds
were much better this year.
Saturday night I was taken back
down “Memory Lane” when the 50
year state championship team from
Everly was introduced. I was amazed
that all of those young ladies had gotten old. I guess it happens to all of us. It
was also nice to visit with Coach Larry
Johnson again.
I received a charge during the Class
3-A championship game. I was located
on the front row in front of the south
basket. A loose ball came right at me
with two big post players in hot pursuit. They collided with my table and
Nevada’s Kati Cassabaum lit on top of
me. I caught her and kept her from going over to the concrete. I had a notion
to give her greetings from New Sharon,
but I waited until after the game to do
that. I caught up with her in the interview room and gave my greeting. Her
father, Steve, was an athlete at North
Mahaska and her grandpa, Jerry, was a
banker in New Sharon.
That same game featured one of the
finest players inch for inch that I have
ever seen. Ellie Ruffridge of Pocahontas Area is a five foot three inch dynamo that leads the state in scoring with
an average of 28.8 points per game. Ellie is a junior and was the captain of the
All-Tournament team for the second
straight year. In the semi-final game
with Cherokee, all kinds of scoring records were set. Pokey won 102-91 and
Ellie had 36 point while her teammate
had 35. Ellie is the granddaughter of
Doug and Mary Ruffridge of Oskaloosa, so there is a local connection.
The Class 4-A title game was special
to me as Pella was in it and I do some
stringer work for the Pella papers. The
Terry Branstad
Tales of
the Ancient
Sportsman
By Burdell Hensley
Columnist
Lady Dutch rolled into the tourney on
a 19 game winning streak and they
knocked off Council Bluffs Lewis
Central and Marion on their way to
the title game.
In that championship game they
took on Mason City out of the Central Iowa Metro Conference, a rugged
Class 5-A conference. Pella got off to
a slow start and fell way behind early. But this group does not know the
meaning of quit. In the second half the
Lady Dutch scrapped to get back in the
game and even took a one point lead in
the early stages of the fourth quarter,
but they just couldn’t hold off University of Iowa recruit, Makenzie Meyer
and her team. No disgrace here. Pella
returns their entire lineup for next year
and this experience will be valuable to
them next year.
A record was set in the Class 5-A
game as Ankeny Centennial won their
first state title. And Coach Scott DeJong, a Pella native won his seventh
state title which is a record. Assistant
Coach, Dennis Albertson is a Fremont
native and a former student of mine at
Eddyville. Dennis has been with Scott
for all seven of those titles, the first six
at Ankeny and the seventh at Centennial. That is neat and I loved it.
Monday was a huge day of basketball and a dangerous one. I took in
six games on Monday. I arrived early
and watched five girl’s games and was
surprised when I walked in and found
former Tri-County star, Ross Hemsley
refereeing the game. It was the first
state tournament assignment for Ross
and I was so pleased for him. I always
refer to him a “Cousin Ross”. I just tell

him that he has one letter wrong in his
last name. But I am proud to say that
he has made himself into a very fine
official.
After the fifth girl’s game, I had to
hustle over to Johnston High School to
cover the Pella boys in their sub-state
game with Ballard. Pella won easily
and punched their ticket to this week’s
Boy’s State Tourney. I will be there to
cover them as well as Pella Christian.
It was in Johnston that danger was
lurking. It was halftime and I saw Jerry Rochach and Randy Wilson about
five rows up in the bleachers. I went
up to share some pleasantries with
them and as I turned to go back to
the floor, I missed a step. Suddenly
I was spinning down those stairs,
heading for a crash landing and my
landing gear was not down.
I did a three-point crash landing
on my knee, elbow and my good
shoulder. I don’t have a good shoulder anymore so it looks like I will
start the baseball season on the 60
day DL. I couldn’t get up and a couple of fellows came to my aid. They
asked if I were OK and I wasn’t so
sure. I checked to see if the shoulder bone was connected to the neck
bone and if the neck bone was connected to head bone. I was able to
limp off the floor and was quite embarrassed that I was the best halftime show in the gym that night. I
may have to start wearing a helmet
to the ball games.
It really was a rather quiet week on all
other fronts, but I found enough trouble in Des Moines to last a while. The
scary thought is that I have to go back
this week.
It is time to see what happened in our
yesterdays.

Just Reminiscing
By Hilda Souer
Once again when looking for
something in one of my file folders
I found a page with some notes my
mother had written down… and
were among some of the information she’d told me and I asked for
her to write down for me. These
were some things about our town’s
history that she’d written.
The cement block building of
Delta Grocery was built in 1908.
Delta’s last civil war veteran
was Moses De Marce. He died on
July 26, 1934.
Dr. Josiah Johnston was an early
Delta doctor and one of Delta’s first
Masonic Lodge officers (and there
is no longer this lodge or the Eastern
Star or Odd Fellows Lodge here) He
moved in 1901 to Des Moines. J.D.
Hamilton and E.H Sheaffer were
also early doctors in Delta.
The names of the town’s early settlers in 1843 were McNabb, Hicklin, Maxon Randall, Jacob Kensler, John Hasty, John Scott, and E.
Sampson.
Each was allowed to claim 160
acres plus a small timber no to
exceed 40 acres. They were not
allowed to stake out a claim until
May 1, 1843 in Richland area, and
this could not be completed until
the first land sale in Fairfield in
1846 when 150 men bought land
at the land office and purchased
land at $1.25 per acre.
Delta’s first mayor was J.H. Neas.
An early druggist was J.V. Brown.
Warren township was surveyed
in 1845, and sold in 1846. In regard to schools: there were two
school districts at first “Union”
and “Center”… they were consolidated into Delta Independent in
1877 (as we know the high school
was the first to merge with Sigourney and later the grade school.)
A coal mine was also part of Delta’s history at one time the “Dunn
Coal Works” employed 50 men.
Once there was a Mill with John
B. Lough as owners.
Also on the paper of notes
mother had written about Delta
was the following:
- Delta had a bad fire in 1912…
the Kinder Hotel, Post Office with
Delta Press in basement, and the
Pool Hall were all destroyed.
Note: This is only part of the
information in Mother’s notes,
so perhaps I’ll sort through them
another time.

providing high quality education
to each and every child, no matter where they lived in our great
state. Much has changed in education over the last 45 years since
the school foundation formula was
developed. Since then, other significant inequities in funding have
crept in. Transportation is arguably the most significant.
Because of numerous school closings and consolidations over the
years, transportation costs have
become enormous in many rural
districts. Because these transportation expenses are paid from the
general fund–the same fund used
primarily to educate children, less
money is available to educate Iowa’s children in rural areas across
the state. For example, Sigourney
CSD spends about $138,000 above
the average district cost of transportation. That means that Sigourney CSD has $138,000 less to educate our children.
The big question is simple. Should
how far a student rides a bus to
school determine the quality of education he or she receives? I have yet
to meet anyone who will openly say
“yes” to that question. However, this
practice is exactly what is happening across this great state.
Another major funding issue
across the state is the difference
in level of funding provided by
the current formula. Some schools
are provided as much as $175 per
student more than a neighboring
school district might get. This is
because we have failed to fully
address the inequity in per-pupil
funding that was allowed when
our current funding formula was
developed. Sigourney CSD students receive $167 less than the
best funded public school. That
accounts for roughly $88,000 less
than some other schools our same
size. How does that make sense?
If we care about each and every
Iowa child, we can no longer stand
by and ignore the enormous inequities caused by a lack of attention
to our antiquated funding formula. No matter what Iowa county or
town we are from or what party we
may represent, we are all Iowans
who care about each other. We are
highly respected as people of Iowa
because of those values. It’s time for
Iowans to do the right thing and ensure equitable funding is provided
for each and every Iowa child.

The News-Review
Mahaska Health Partnership explains
robotic-assisted fibroid removal
A variety of benign (non-cancerous) conditions can affect a women’s reproductive system. Obstetrics
and Gynecological Physicians (OB/
GYN) specialize in the treatment of
conditions affecting females. One
common condition MHP OB/GYN
Specialist Dr. Jeffrey Fowler treats
is uterine fibroids.
“Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that grow in the wall of the
uterus,” Dr. Fowler explained.
“Most women do not notice symptoms and they go away on their own.
However, when a woman has heavy
bleeding, enlarged lower abdomen,
lower back pain or reproductive
problems; she should seek treatment.”
According to the Department of
Health and Human Services, fibroids
can be as small as an apple seed or
as big as a grapefruit. They are most
common in women in their 40s and
50s, but can occur at any age. The
cause of fibroids is unknown but
risk factors include age, family his-
tory, weight and eating habits.
“Women who do develop symptoms from fibroids often require
medical treatment in order to overcome them,” Dr. Fowler stressed.
“Fibroids can be detected during a
regular physical exam or through
ultrasound.”
Dr. Fowler explained that fibroids
are treated based on the severity of
a woman’s symptoms. “If a woman
has small fibroids that cause mild
discomfort, an over-the-counter
pain reliever is usually sufficient.
However, if she is experiencing
moderate to severe symptoms, we
often look at surgical treatment options.”
At MHP, Dr. Fowler performs
traditional open, laparoscopic and
robotic-assisted surgical procedures
on the female anatomy. “The type
of surgery we do depends on the
patient, the severity of their symptoms and their long-term goals,” Dr.
Fowler shared.
“I can perform a myomectomy

Magic of Peter Rabbit Tales
“Once upon a time there were four
little Rabbits, and their names were
Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter...” These famous lines captivated
young audiences for over one hundred years. Now, the magic of Peter
Rabbit Tales comes to the George
Daily Auditorium stage on Monday,
March 14 at 7:00 p.m.
Based on three of Beatrix Potter’s
Peter Rabbit books, this play uses
fantastic masks, whimsical puppets,
gorgeous scenery, and original music to bring the magical, marvelous
world of Peter Rabbit to life. Peter
Rabbit, his sister Flopsy, and his
cousin Benjamin are all grown up.
Flopsy and Benjamin are married
with bunnies of their own when the
nasty badger, Tommy Brock, decides to steal the babies. Peter and
Benjamin set off on an adventure
to rescue them, and along the way,
relive their childhood misadventures with Mr. McGregor and his
cat. On their journey, they manage
to avoid the dangerous fox and recruit a cheeky squirrel and a kindly hedgehog to help them find the
bunnies. With adventure, drama,
chase scenes, and of course, a happy
ending, Peter Rabbit Tales is perfect
for families and young children!
The George Daily Auditorium is
also offering a free workshop with
the Peter Rabbit Tales cast on Monday, March 14 at 2 p.m. This workshop will engage upper elementary
through high school students with

Credit report and identity theft monitoring suggestions
Anyone who has a credit history or
plans to establish one should have an
interest in what appears on their credit
report.
Your credit report includes information about your identity, detailed credit
history, and other information about
you, including court judgments. Your
credit report can affect your ability to
get a credit card or loan, how much
interest you pay, your insurance rates,
and can even impact where you can
live and work.
Because so much rides on what is in
your report, it’s important to know
about any negative information that
might appear, and whether it’s correct. You may also be concerned about
threats from data breaches and identity thefts, as a criminal could use your
name and good reputation to obtain
funds, new credit and loans, utilities, or
even pretend to be you.
That’s why some turn to credit or
identity theft monitoring services. For
a monthly or annual fee, these services
may offer to help you track or monitor
your financial account activity, history,
and personal information. Many consumers who subscribe to these services
may find it convenient that the services
take responsibility for regularly monitoring credit or taking steps to address
a data breach or identity theft.
However, monitoring service providers may charge $10-$30 per month
for some services that are available for
free or at a low cost, or may not provide the level of protection that they
may imply or you expect. Before subscribing to a credit report or identity
theft monitoring service, be sure you
understand what you are paying for,
as well as what you can already do for
free or at a low cost.
For example:
Credit Reports: Some services may
advertise that their fees include providing a copy of your credit report at no
additional cost. Keep in mind that federal law entitles you to receive one free
credit report per year from each of the
three major credit bureaus (Equifax,
Experian and TransUnion). The only
authorized site for these free annual
reports is www.annualcreditreport.
com. (Tip: You can get free year-round
protection when you stagger and rotate
your requests by seeking a report from
one of the three bureaus every four
months.)
Fraud Alert: A fraud alert, which
is available for free, requires a lender
to take certain measures to verify your
identity before opening credit in your
name, and the alert may make it harder
for identity thieves to open accounts in
your name. A credit reporting bureau
that receives a request for fraud alert
must notify the other two bureaus. The
alert lasts 90 days, but you can renew
it.
Security Freeze/Credit Freeze:
A security freeze, also called a credit freeze, helps prevent others from
opening new credit under your name,
or making changes to your existing accounts. A credit freeze restricts access
MidAmerican Energy and Alliant
Energy are teaming up to fight back
against scams. Phone billing scams targeting utility customers continue to be a
daily battle for the utilities, resulting in
money lost for several customers. Since the beginning of the year, customers have reported more than 400
fraudulent calls to the two utilities. The
scammers are targeting all customer
bases; however, small businesses and
Spanish-speaking customers seem to
be the most frequent targets. In most scam cases, callers pose as
utility employees and threaten to shut
off power unless the customer makes
a payment. Scammers are persistent
and aggressive. They use sophisticated
methods to trick customers, which include:
•Spoofing Caller ID to make the call
appear as if it is coming from the utility.
•Impersonating energy auditors in an
attempt to get inside your home or business.
•Intimidating customers by showing
up at your door or claiming that a crew
is in route to disconnect service.
•Requiring that the customer pay using either a credit card over the phone
or with a pre-paid (Green Dot) card.
•Claiming there is an issue with electric or natural gas service equipment
inside the house.
Customers who receive a suspicious
call should hang up and call local police and their utility to report the scam
and check on the status of their account.
Call MidAmerican Energy at 1-888427-5632 or Alliant Energy at 1-800255-4268.
Protecting customers from scams is a
top priority for Alliant Energy and MidAmerican Energy. They want to educate customers on how to avoid falling
victim. If customers are behind on bills,
they will receive several notifications;
disconnection is a last resort, not a first
step in the process. Both utilities accept
many different forms of payment. A
specific payment method is never required when paying your bill.
You can always follow these steps to
stay safe:
•Never give out personal information
such as credit card or account numbers.
Utilities will not ask you for this information over the phone.
•Ask for proper identification from
anyone who approaches you. Call the
appropriate utility to verify the purpose
for the visit. Use the number published
on the website or in the phone book.
For more information, visit Alliant
Energy’s or MidAmerican Energy’s
website or watch this informative video.
to your credit report. A credit freeze is
free to identity theft victims, and otherwise costs $10 per credit report. It stays
in place until the consumer requests to
lift it. A temporary lift costs $12, and
permanently removing the freeze costs
$10 (the fees are waived for identity
theft victims).
There are services that offer additional options, such as access to your
credit score, credit activity notifications, identity theft response assistance,
and credit record rebuilding support.
Services that offer you a free credit score in exchange for your credit
card number generally enroll you in
a monthly service that carries with it
monthly charges.
One of the best ways to protect yourself from financial fraud on existing
accounts is to review your financial
account statements, and periodically
review your credit reports. One of the
best ways to protect yourself from others opening new accounts under your
name is through a security freeze.

Tips from Pella Regional:
Savor the flavor of eating right
Here are the answers to the crossword puzzle from
March 2, 2016
For National Nutrition Month in
March, experts at Pella Regional
Health Center and the Academy of
Nutrition and Dietetics encourage everyone to Savor the Flavor of Eating
Right.
Making sure to enjoy the sights,
sounds, memories and interactions
associated with eating are essential to
developing an overall healthy eating
plan. This year’s theme of Savor the
Flavor of Eating Right encourages everyone to take time to enjoy food traditions and appreciate the pleasures,
great flavors and social experiences
food can add to our lives.
“It’s a great reminder for everyone
to develop a mindful eating pattern
that includes nutritious and flavorful
foods, while also taking the time to
enjoy everything that a healthy, tasty
meal brings with it,” said Cathy Pollock, RD, LD, Education Dietitian at
Pella Regional. “Take time to appreciate the flavors, textures and overall
eating experience. Life gets so busy
we often eat quickly and mindlessly.
Instead, try this tip: eat slowly. Stop
and take time between bites. Eating
slowly not only allows you to enjoy
your food, but it can also help you eat
less by giving your stomach time to
tell your brain that you are full.”
The recently released 2015-2020
Dietary Guidelines for Americans
recommend limiting the amounts of
ABSTRACTING
SERVICES
added sugar, sodium and saturated fats that you eat. The majority of
Americans follow a diet that is too
high in these components. Consuming too many added sugars, sodium,
and saturated fats day after day puts
you at an increased risk for heart
disease, diabetes, hypertension, and
other chronic health conditions.
“During National Nutrition Month
and beyond, make an effort to cut
back on food and beverages high in
added sugar, sodium and saturated
fats. Take the time to find creative,
healthy and nutritious ways to add
flavor to food. Start meal planning
and cooking more meals at home,”
added Pollock.
Pella Regional Health Center is a
not-for-profit provider of healthcare
that is accredited by The Joint Commission. Its mission is to provide
healthcare and healing services with
Christian compassion. Information
on Pella Regional Health Center and
its clinics is available by calling Public Relations at 641-621-2358 or visiting the website, www.pellahealth.org.

THORNBURG - Mr. Parrot’s 5th grade class of Tri-County was
taught about the American Legion. The young kids were taught about
how
important our
veterans
are to
American
Citizens.
They
learned
and
watched
a video
about
the
American Flag.
Learning
about the American Flag is so important to and American Citizen.
That red and white, starred blue flag symbolizes our great nation.
That flag has brought into battles and has stood tall and proud for
over 200 YEARS!!! After the students watched the video about out
Legions and Flags they wrote an essay about what they learned. After
all the writing was said and done the American Legion members
choose the student with the best essay and awarded them with a 25
dollar check in the Tri-County Gym. The student that won the 25 dollar check was Eli Molyneux. Way to GO, Eli. I would like to personally say thank you to Mr. Parrot for taking the time to teach the kids
about our Great Nation’s Veterans. I would also like to say thank you
Veterans for serving this great nation of ours and keeping my family
safe from dangers.

The Tri-County Community FFA Chapter kicked off FFA Week on Tuesday, February 23rd due to professional development the previous Monday.
The activities began with an elementary coloring contest that ended Friday.
Elementary coloring contest winners include: Evelyn Snakenberg, Gracen
MacCready, Aubrey Zittergruen, Keagan MacCready, Lily Randall, Garrett
VerSteegh, and Delanie Little. Throughout the week, the FFA chapter held
random Ag Trivia contests, challenging teachers’ and students’ knowledge
about FFA and agriculture production. At the end of the day on Friday,
February 26th, students gathered in the high school gymnasium for the Annual Ag Olympics. Students and staff participated in a relay that involved a
dizzy egg walk, milk the cow competition, frozen t-shirt pull-apart, and find
the penny in the haystack contest. The day was rounded off with students
and staff bobbing for apples and the annual FFA musical chairs contest!
