By Glenn SchreiberJim Nelson, formerly of Dayton, and his wife Doro-

thy hosted a unique gathering of former Dayton residents March 20 and 21 at their home in the Catalina Mountains north of Tuscon in a beautifully landscaped community called Saddlebrook.

Jim retains close connections to several former and current Dayton residents including Chuck Danielson, who still resides in Dayton. And while Jim and Chuck are good friends, Jim vividly remembers being excluded from a social group in his youth (a fact he jokingly brought up several times).

Nelson, who is a very successful entrepreneur in the Twin Cities, recalled that Chuck and his buddies had a club. And this club constructed a clubhouse building uti-lizing railroad ties.

I always liked this group and I wanted to be a part of it, said Jim. But the group excluded me from joining. I could never understand why I couldnt be part of this group and be in that clubhouse (made of railroad ties).

At first Chuck was lost for words which is perhaps a first for him. His good friend Jim Nelson had this memory of childhood rejection and how could Chuck handle this?

Jim and his family left Dayton after Jim finished the eighth grade. Jim is now owner/manager of the highly suc-cessful ACR Homes in the Twin Cities. This is a group of 56 homes housing 4-6 people per home. The homes accommodate the mentally ill and physically handicapped.

Chuck at first was a bit sheepish about his friends comments on the railroad boys club. But after Jim com-mented on this boyhood memory several times Chuck had a response.

At the Saturday gathering of about 20 Dayton resi-dents at the Nelson home, Chuck (who was one of three group leaders) made a pronouncement before the entire group. He ceremoniously unrolled a document on a roll of toilet paper which proclaimed that the boyhood Dayton group, after due consideration, was approving the member-ship of Jim Nelson. There would be a plaque forthcoming that recognized Nelson as a member of this club.

While Chuck was reading the proclamation from the roll of toilet paper everyone was laughing, including Jim Nelson.

17 current, former Dayton residents meet in Catalina Mountains, AZ. . . . Seventeen people who are either formerly from Dayton or are current Dayton residents attending a special event

in late March at the winter home of Jim and Dorothy Nelson in Saddlebrook in the Catalina Mountains in Arizona. There were several group sessions in which the group responded to 23 questions which all concerned growing up in Dayton. A large story on these sessions will be in the Dayton Review next week. Top row, left to right, are Jim Nelson, Chuck Daniel-son, Richard Johnson, Glenn Schreiber, Gordon Erickson, Allan Johnson, Larry Ohge, Dick Liljegren; first row left to right are Linda Danielson, Susan Ohge, Rita Hauge, Linda Bircher, Mary Williams, Joyce Erickson, Pat Tuel, Dorothy Nelson, and Linda Barber.

Grandview Health Care Center was recently award-ed the Providigm Embracing Quality Award for 2015 for exceptional achievement in Customer Satisfaction. With only 302 nursing centers in the US and Ontario receiv-ing awards in 2015, 11 of those in Iowa alone, this puts Grandview in a select group of high performing skilled nursing facilities.

As a high performer, a facility can be honored with Providigms Embracing Quality Award in one or more of three categories; deficiency-free survey, prevention of hospital readmissions, and for superior levels of customer satisfaction.

The Embracing Quality Awards are given to nursing homes who have not only demonstrated a commitment to quality improvement efforts by achieving QAPI Ac-creditation, but who have also achieved exceptional and measurable results in the areas of survey performance, readmissions, and satisfaction, says Miranda Meadow, Providigms Accreditation Program Manager. These awards are Providigms recognition of that link between effort and outcome.

Skilled nursing facilities were only eligible to win a 2015 Embracing Quality Award if they achieved stan-dards for Quality Assurance and Performance Improve-ment (QAPI) as required by Providigms Accreditation Standards for QAPI. These standards ensure that facilities are assessing quality against the full federal regulation at an ongoing rate, encompassing a substantial proportion of their residents, and correcting identified issues.

It is an honor to win the Embracing Quality Award for Customer Satisfaction, said Josh Sager, Grandview Administrator. This prestigious recognition is a tribute to the hard work of our employees and their dedication to providing excellent care to our residents.

Oeltjenbruns, Dayton, elected to Phi Beta Kappa

Kelly Oeltjenbruns of Dayton (50530) was one of 21 Cornell College students--19 seniors and two juniors--elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

Oeltjenbruns will be officially inducted on May 9 be-fore the annual Baccalaureate ceremony.

The inducted students will have their names added to the permanent plaque in Cole Library listing all members elected to Cornell's chapter.

Election is based upon good character and a distin-guished record of performance in courses that demon-strate a broad exposure to the liberal arts, i.e., the fine arts, humanities, languages, natural sciences and mathematics, and social sciences, as well as substantive work in areas outside the major. Phi Beta Kappa considers members of the top 15 percent of the senior class and the top five per-cent of the junior class.

PPEL vote April 7 for PV School District

A special school election for Prairie Valley Commu-nity School District will be held April 7, 2015. The special election concerns the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy. The PPEL would authorize the Board of Directors of the Prairie Valley Community School District to levy and im-pose a physical plant and equipment tax for a period of 10 years.

The polls will open at 12:00 p.m. and close at 8:00 p.m. The polling places for the election are Prairie Valley Middle School, 3116 Zearing Ave., Farnhamville, Iowa for Director District Number 1; Callender Community Center 505 Thomas St. Callender, Iowa for Director District Num-ber 2; and Gowrie Community Center 1204 Market St., Gowrie, Iowa for Director District Number 3.

The tax is currently 33 cents for every $1,000 of property valuation. The new levy would increase this tax to $1.00 for every $1,000 of property valuation. The levy would also allow the Board of Directors to impose a physi-cal plant and equipment income surtax to each individual income tax payer in the district at the end of the calendar year beginning with the 2015 calendar year or each year after. The percent of income tax would not exceed 20% per year. The total tax would not exceed $1.00 per $1,000 valuation.

By Alice JohnsonIt was a pleasant Spring day on Thursday, March 19,

when 17 Dayton Dreamer's members and one guest met at the Community Center. Although, St. Patrick's Day was celebrated two days earlier, the table decorations fol-lowed the St. Patrick's theme with green and white rope in the center of the tables and at each place setting, a special Irish blessing was placed. On the serving table, sat a miniature leprechaun on a green basket surrounded by two Irish hats and four-leaf clovers.

After the table grace was sung, we enjoyed a meal consisting of Shepherd's pie, Irish soda bread, an apple and a rhubarb pie, a lime jello/pear salad, and an angel food cake with cool whip and strawberries as toppings. The persons who brought the food were acknowledged.

During a lull before our meeting, several Irish songs were played by Alice Johnson on the piano. She stated that the piano was donated to the Center many years ago by Paul Olson of Harcourt before his move to Friendship Haven.

In December, 2014, he celebrated his 109th birthday but in February, he passed away and was interned at the Harcourt cemetery. He was known for his love of music and played a saxaphone up to the last two or three years of his life.

President Bonnie Reck opened the Business meet-ing by leading us in saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Secretary Alice Johnson read the minutes of the February meeting as well as the Treasurer's report. A motion was made, seconded and passed to accept the reports as read. Secretary Johnson then read correspon-dence from former member Sister Lois who is retired and now resides in Dubuque.

She stated that she became very ill last winter and was hospitalized for a time. At age 89 yrs, she is now us-ing a walker but is feeling much better now. She conclud-ed her letter by sending special greetings to our members for remembering her birthday in January and for their on-going prayers.

We had a moment of silence in memory of member Marge Collen who passed away a week ago at the Grand-view Health Center.

The 'luck of the Irish' prevailed when 12 members won gold dollar coins by finding a small seal on the re-verse side of their place mats.

There were no birthdays in March. Next on the agenda was planning the menu for April. After some

discussion, the decision was made to have Sub (Hero) sandwiches with various cold cuts and other 'fixings'. Several members offered to bring pickles, chips, a relish plate and a cheese cake for dessert. Drinks are furnished.

Since there was no more business to discuss, mo-tion was made for the meeting to adjourn, seconded and passed.

All area seniors who are 55 yrs. or older are wel-comed to attend our meetings. There are no dues required. They are held every third

Thursday of the month at noon at the Community Center. For reservations, please call President Reck at 547-2948 or Secretary Johnson at 359-2630.

The city will still have clean up days this year and in-tends to use community beautification monies to pay for it. Last year 21 tons of garbage was taken to the landfill and if the same amount is taken this year it will cost the city $735 plus the additonal $250 from TCB Sanitation for their services. There will be an evaluation after this years event and see what the total cost is and if it will be continued in the future.

The Fire Department Soup Dinner will be Sunday, March 22 and the council said they really liked the letter the Fire Department sent out regarding members names and certification levels obtained.

Shelter HouseFundraiser. The grants have been submit-ted to Alliant Energy and Black Hills Energy. Black Hills Energy will be donating $500 to the shelter house expan-sion project.

Several events coming up at the Community Center were mentioned. Any possible damages and additional utility expenses during the girls softball practices are a concern. The school board was notified and asked if they could help out with the expenses and if there were any damages (such as a broken window), that someone from the city would be notified immediately.

The Harcourt lagoon is thawing and is producing an odor that will go away soon. All the bacteria samples for the quarter have been completed. Flouride levels were a concern and it was stated the flouride is in the ground and if it were a problem, it would only be to young childrens teeth being stained.

There were no reports from Park and Rec, 911 and Ambulance, Solid Waste, and Emergency Management.

Mayor Brundage reported that more street signs, poles and accessories to put the poles need to be ordered. Additional letters to make the existing signs correct is be-ing taken care of. The intakes need cleaned out. There is a list of the street lights needing repaired and was sent to Steve Nelson at Alliant Energy.

There will be a budget hearing March 23 at 5:30 pm. The School Board will be going over the softball field lease at their next meeting.

A joint corporation agreement between Harcourt and Fort Dodge Housing Authority was approved.

Security Savings Bank offers student loan resources

Security Savings Bank is working with Iowa Student Loan to provide a supplemental student loan resource for students and families that addresses costs of higher education. The Partnership Advance Education Loan can help fill the gap that may remain after colleges provide available financial aid. The Partnership Loan program of-fers both variable and fixed interest rates.

A link to the information and application can be found on Security Savings Banks website. All Partner-ship Loan processing and servicing is handled by As-pire Servicing Center, a division of Iowa Student Loans wholly owned subsidiary, Aspire Resources Inc.

Students and families should complete the Free Ap-plication for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) first and work with the college financial aid office to make sure they ap-ply for all applicable forms of federal, state and institu-tional aid, including federal student loans, prior to obtain-ing a private student loan. Accepting a private loan before utilizing other types of aid may decrease your eligibility for federal, state and institutional aid.

Ruth D. Anderson, 91Ruth D. Anderson, of Dayton, Iowa, passed away

Sunday, March 29, 2015, at the Grandview Health Care Center in Dayton.

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, April 4, 2015, at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Dayton. Pastor Arhiana Shek will officiate. Burial will be in the Dayton Cemetery following the service. Visitation will be Friday, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., at Carson Stapp Funeral Home in Dayton. For online obituaries and condolences please visit carsonstappfuneralhome.com.

Ruth was born April 24, 1923, in Woodbury County, Iowa, and moved to Dayton at the age of 6. She was edu-cated in the Dayton Schools and graduated in 1941.

For two years after graduation, she was employed with the North American Defense Plant in California. Af-ter returning to Iowa, she and Robert L. Anderson were married in the home of her parents, Hans and Hannah Hanson, on October 31, 1943. After farming in Stratford until 1956, they moved to Ruths family farm in Dayton where Bob did carpenter work and they raised their three children. Later, Ruth worked as the school cook for 16 years. In the early 1970s, they built their family home in Dayton. Ruth had a huge garden and enjoyed sharing her beautiful flowers and vegetables with neighbors and friends. Her rose bushes were her favorite.

Ruth was active in her church, Emanuel Lutheran, belonging to ELCW and especially enjoyed the quilting group. She was also involved in Scouts, 4-H, Womens Club, arts and crafts and loved to golf. Other hobbies in-cluded sewing, baking, knitting and gardening. She was a dedicated Iowa Hawkeyes fan and enjoyed reading books and playing cards with her grandchildren, who were all precious to her. Ruth loved people and welcomed every-one in for a chat and a cup of coffee.

In 2001, Ruth and Bob moved to the Grandview Apartments, where she promptly began planting flowers. Many of them are still there today, enjoyed by passers-by. Following Bobs death in 2006, Ruth moved to the Grandview Health Care Center.

Ruth was preceded in death by her parents and broth-er; husband, Bob; two sons, Dale and Barry; daughter-in-law, Karen; and grandson, Doug.

Surviving relatives are her daughter, Linda Ander-son of Des Moines; daughter-in-law, Monica Mauzey, of Maryville, Missouri; and grandchildren, Victoria Rea, Lena Anderson, Kimberly Hartford, Patrick Hart, Katie Hart, Clara Sainte and Laura Maahs; and 10 great-grand-children. Ruths family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at Grandview Health Care Center who have taken such good care of her these last eight years, as well as the service of the hospice staff for helping make the last few days of her life comfortable and peaceful.

Spring Cometh?For the past several weeks many Christian denomina-

tions have been observing Lent in numerous ways. They may have been having special services both on Sundays and certain week days.

They may have encouraged others to be aware of peoples various needs, both close to home and around the world. Some may have opted to give up something. I hear a variety of things in this category. It is usually some food we like very much. For me it has been all pas-tries and candies. (While it doesnt fill the desire, fruit does taste better right now.) Some have decided to either go on or support a particular mission, local, national or foreign.

Our church has asked that we endeavor to give a dol-lar a day ($40.) or whatever we can which will be used in our regular filling of food bags rice and other nutrients & flavorings, etc. -- and then to sign up to do the filling in April. We usually do at least 15,000 meals which costs $3,000. Of course we are always asked to pray for others but shouldnt that be a consistent year round thing? Per-haps we can think a little harder and become more aware of what is going on right here at home and in the world. I believe that is being a little less self-centered.

Like other holidays, whatever their intent or cause for celebration is, Easter became commercialized prob-ably not as much as Christmas. As soon as the Christmas decorations are down, sometimes sooner, the Valentine merchandise begins to appear, followed closely (some-times jointly) by St. Patricks Day and Easter sales pro-motions (particularly clothes, candy, toys and baskets) begin to override,

But, when the realization comes to us is that, Wow! Its almost Easter! We begin to think spring. Think spring school activities. We will have just preceded that by all the school sports tournaments, the vying for first place in wrestling, basketball and other sports tourna-ments. Des Moines suddenly bursts with more traffic on

the streets and people walking on the sidewalks. Those who came in their own cars slip away to the mall. After all it is almost prom time and where else to find that perfect dress? Graduation will be coming up for some so better check on a graduation outfit, even though no one except after partiers will see the outfits under those gowns. Parents get caught up in all of this as they should and other things take a back seat or maybe even get left at home. There is a bit of chaos and it seems to take up our brain and heart space.

Then comes the realization Easter is coming! That means little girls will still get new fancy church dresses and bonnets. No one else seems to get all dolled up like we used to. We had to wear a hat to church al-ways and it may for older girls and Moms, be last years but the little girls had to have a NEW one.

Finally we may get back on track with the season and observing what Lent means to many and what Palm Sun-day means and what Easter really means. But yet, most still say something like, Oh, Easter is coming. Maybe then well have spring and spring weather. We think that especially this year the stormy and snowy weather this winter has brought to so much of our country.

Growing up in Boxholm, I think we were more aware of our church roots and made an effort in the observances as our denominations practiced. I remember the first time many, many years ago. On Ash Wednesday I saw someone come out of a downtown Catholic Church here in Des Moines. What was that on her forehead? It looked like a big black smear. Since that time, I married, and after having always been a Methodist, converted to the Lutheran Church. There have been many changes there too, among them a joining of synods placing the Swedes and Norwegians and many assorted others into the same synod. Old (almost stubborn at times) thinking has changed and low and behold we not only observe Ash Wednesday with services but have the Imposition of Ashes and open Communion. When our congregation started doing the ashes there were several dyed in the wool, Norwegian (maybe some Swedish)_ Lutherans since birth, who would not participate. It was too Catho-lic! It took a few years but most did accept and come for-ward. I am the one who prepares the ashes now. Times change and so do people.

But Easter always seems to bring that particular promise to believers and others -- SPRING IS COM-ING!

HALLELUJAH! It has always seemed to be the same whether you lived in or around a little Boxholm or in a bigger city and we feel if Easter comes, Spring (if not already sprung) cant be far behind. Thus we can make lots of plans for spring, summer and fall and let the church services go by the wayside if we can find something better to do?

Nevertheless, HAPPY EASTER HAPPY SPRING TO ALL

January 15, 2015, fourteen travelers from Security Savings Bank ventured out on a Trip of a Lifetime to Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. After 41 hours of trav-el, losing one day because of crossing the International Date Line, we finally reached our welcomed hotel in Cairns, Australia!

Our trip encountered a total of 14 flights and 24 days. Everything is very British including the English language and driving on the left side of the road. The water does go down the drain counter clockwise, north is warmer than the south, they have the Southern Cross Constella-tion and Uggs are sold everywhere!

The first few days were spent in the northern Queensland area. We experienced Australias rich Ab-original history with a tour of the Daintree Rainforest escorted by an Aborigine from the Kuku Yalanji tribe who taught us about survival in the forest. The next day took us on a high speed catamaran to Green Island in the Great Barrier Reef where we went swimming in the Coral Sea, snorkeling and met Cassius, the worlds largest croc-odile in captivity.

After a three-hour plane ride we arrived in the Out-back Desert to see Ayers Rock (Uluru Rock in native language) and Kata Tjuta Rock which are both very sa-cred to the Aborigine people. The temperature was only 118 degrees that day and we had to wear fly nets over our heads as they liked fresh travelers! That evening was enjoyed with a champagne toast by the desert sunset.

On to Alice Springs, the town famous for the old telegraph station built in 1976 bringing communication to the Outback. Heres one of our adventures that you

dont get at home, a camel ride to see the desert sunrise over the mountains. Steve has one more thing crossed off his bucket list an Outback Balloon ride watch-ing the kangaroo jumping below. This was a favorite of many.

Another three-hour flight today to the beautiful city of Melbourne in the south of Australia. We enjoyed an evening on Phillip Island with the March of the Little Penguins coming to shore after a day at sea. One of the parents goes to sea while the other stays home with the babies. They return at dusk with full tummies, regurgitate their food and feed their young, yum! Australia is the Opal Capital of the World so we visited an opal mu-seum to learn about the different colors and qualities of this beautiful gem. Yes, of course they had a gift shop!

Sydney is a very busy city with their famous bridge and opera house. Upon arrival, we went to The Rock in the Sydney Harbour, which was the landing spot for the prisoners as they were thrown out of Britain and sent to the new colony. Today it is filled with restaurants, mu-seums and a great places for tourists. We had a tour of the iconic Opera House which is theatre on the right and opera on the left. Tickets run from $20 $390 or more. Some of our travelers managed to see a show one eve-ning. The Sydney Harbour Bridge opened in 1932. For $270, you could take a four-hour climb over the top of it, but we decided a drive across would be just fine!

Obviously, I cant get 24 days in one article so will tell you about New Zealand and Fiji next time.

Coach Swieter is very happy with the progress the kids are making in the weight room. These kids get up 4 times a week and start lifting at 6:45 a.m. when a lot of people are still sleeping. It is the one max a year they get to see how all their hard work has paid off. These results are the amount lifted and also the body percentage. Coach hopes this continues and knows all their work will pay off for them.

Coach Swieter also commented on the new weight room and said it is so nice to get up every morning and have a nice facility like to to lift in. Coach Swieter has over 50 boys and girls lift every morning and about 15 junior High kids make the trip every day and lift before they hope on a bus and go to the Middle School.Name Bench GradeChase Mobley 315 JuniorAaron Swieter 255 SophomoreJohnny Lautner 250 JuniorKoltan Lundberg 240 SeniorCarter Steck 235 JuniorGordon Grossnickle 225 SophomoreKaelan Lundberg 225 SophomoreKaleb Jondle 225 FreshmanTommy Lennon 225 FreshmanDylan Anderson 220 SeniorJacob Sorenson 220 SophomoreConner Conrad 210 JuniorAndrew Dorage 210 JuniorTravis Jones 210 JuniorZeke Miller 210 JuniorTristan Ewing 205 SophomoreOwen Oeltjenbruns 200 JuniorShane Promes 200 SeniorAlex Pliner 200 SophomoreSam Berglund 200 SophomoreMyles Davis 200 SophomoreNick Eslick 200 SophomoreDakota Jaeschke 200 SophomoreKenny Blunk 200 8thKeegan Goodwin 190 SophomoreKeaton Jondle 190 JuniorLogan Boerner 190 JuniorRyan Gustafson 190 SophomoreJoel Anderson 185 SophomoreNolan Brand 185 SophomoreKyle Jondle 175 8thCameron Anderson 165 JuniorDaven Rees 165 FreshmanClayton Kiefer 165 SophomoreNolan Johnson 160 FreshmanIsaiah Breeden 160 FreshmanJordan Benifield 160 8thCade King 155 JuniorChase Swieter 150 7thJJ Graves 135 8thZach Graves 135 8thJarret Loseke 135 8thXavier Nichols 135 8thMason Ackerson 135 8thJackson Housken 130 8thNyles Johnson 125 8thKolton Kamp 90 8thName Body Percentage GradeAaron Swieter 1.42 SophomoreKaelan Lundberg 1.41 SophomoreCarter Steck 1.37 Junior

SV High School Yearly Max Bench Press Results

This week saw continued discussion on school fund-ing.

I am very supportive of education funding and want to make sure our teachers have the tools they need to pro-vide our children a world class education. So, we need to support a level of funding that is sustainable and fiscally responsible.

We certainly do not want to support a funding lev-el that comes back to haunt taxpayers and hurt the very schools, teachers, children and parents we were intending to help.

Case in point, since 2002 we have over-promised and under-delivered on school funding six times. Four of those six times involved funding supplemental state aid at 4 percent.

As recently as October of 2009, three months into FY 2010, unsustainable levels of funding led to a 10 percent across-the-board reduction, which devastated schools. Much worse than if responsible levels had been used.

Do we really want to have a repeat of FY 2010? The non-partisan Legislative Services Agency re-

cently projected the future condition of the General Fund based on current spending, historic revenue growth and 4 percent supplemental state aid for FY 2016 and FY 2017. Their conclusion was this level of funding resulted in the need to cut $74.8 million in FY 2016 and $515 million in FY 2017 in order to balance the budget.

This level of funding not only results in spend-ing more than we take in, it results in the complete elim-ination of the remaining surplus and the need to make the aforementioned cuts so as to not violate the spending limitation law.

Even the Des Moines Register noted flaws in the rhetoric regarding education funding in Iowa. In an ar-ticle titled Fact Check: Iowa Democrats mislead with statements on school funding, Jason Noble of the Des Moines Register demonstrates after adjusting for region-al cost differences, Iowa actually ranks 24th in per-pupil spending, at $11,929.

Thats $194 per student above per-pupil spending

Withdraw from the rat raceTeach us to number our days and recognize how

few they are; help us to spend them as we should. Psalm 90:12

Are we goal setters? Do we set measurable goals for ourselves, or just take things as they come? If we are a goal setter, we need to work hard to reach our goals.

Now, we can set large goals for ourselves (lifetime goals) or small goals, such as cleaning the deep freeze. We can set spiritual goals, self-improvement goals, weight-loss goals or any type of goal for ourselves.

However, when we do this we may get caught up in too many activities. Some of the activities may be good and some may not be so good. We need to continually ask ourselves what is important in my life? And we prob-ably should ask - what do I really care about? When we can honestly answer those two questions, we will have an idea whether we are committed to God and the Christian life, or whether we arent committed.

Jesus knew why He was on earth and everything He did and said moved Him toward His goal, which was to seek and save the lost souls of earth. Jesus always had time for people, but He also always made time to be with His Father. That was very important to Jesus, as we can see the number of times He went to His Father in prayer. There is a lesson to be learned from this. Jesus knew the value of taking time to withdraw from the rat race of His time and work, and spend quality time with God. Why? Because He needed it. If Jesus thought He needed time with God to recharge His energies, what makes us think that we can be effective in our lives without the same?

Possibly we need to change our lifestyles, but are we ready to take a close look at them? We possibly will not like what we see. In changing, we are not required to live the life of a monk, but if we make God the most important goal in our daily lives, we will see a change in our lives, in our homes and with our families.

Are we ready to take control of our lives and grow closer to our Lord? Why not give it a try? If we do, then someday we will hear God telling us - well done, good and faithful servant!

Disorderly Conduct at Funerals House File 558 relating to disruptive and dis-orderly conduct at services for deceased military service members passed out of the House unanimously. This bill includes a misdemeanor for showing disrespect for the American Flag and increases the dis-tance allowed for any disturbance or noise from 500 to 1,000 feet of the location of a funeral or memorial ser-vice. As a funeral director this bill is very close to my heart and I am very pleased to see this bill move to the Senate for consideration.

Water Quality Demonstration Projects Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey an-nounced this week that nine Urban Conservation Water Quality Initiative Demonstration Projects have been se-lected to receive $655,194.00 in funding. Partners and landowners participating in the projects will provide

$2.43 million to support urban conservation efforts. This is an exciting next step for the Iowa Water Quality Initiative as we work together with communities, businesses and homeowners in our towns and cities, Northey said. Expanding the Water Quality Initiative to include these projects builds on the important partnership of urban and rural areas working together to protect and improve water quality. Projects will focus on conservation measures that capture and allow storm water to be absorbed into the ground and reduce a propertys contribution to water quality degradation, stream flows and flooding. Practices included in the projects are bio-reten-tion cells, native landscaping, permeable pavement, soil quality restoration, bi-swales, wetlands and other prac-tices. The communities participating in the projects are Ames, Calmar, Cedar Falls, Des Moines, Granger, Storm Lake, Webster City, West Des Moines and three sites in Calhoun County. Riverside Storm water Wetlands in Webster City was awarded a grant for $100,000. The total project is expected to cost $273,000. Webster City plans to divert their storm water runoff from a 70 acre urban area to a wetland instead of directly into the Boone River. The wetland will help by slowing and filtering storm water generated from the urban streets and parking areas. Turkey Season Begins The spring season begins April 4th in Iowa. On the 4th, Iowa youth can participate in a youth turkey season that covers two weekends. This allows hunters younger than 16 to participate in the season. The youth hunters must hunt with a mentor that is 18 or older. The mentor must have a valid turkey hunt-ing license for one of the spring seasons. The youth sea-son ends April 12.

The first regular spring turkey season is April 13 - 16. The second season is April 17 - 21. The third season is April 22 - 28. The fourth turkey season is April 29 - May 17. Hunters are required to report their harvest at www.iowadnr.gov. If you have any questions, please contact me at rob.bacon@legis.iowa.gov

across all 50 states and D.C. according to, the Annie E. Casey Foundation. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2015/03/01/fact-check-senate-demo-crats-school-funding/24186317/

Here are some budget facts:The difference between our current spending for on-

going programs and our ongoing revenues for the upcom-ing budget is only $180.9 million. Thus we have just over $180 million in new revenues. Four percent Supplemental State Aid would consume all of that and then some, leav-ing no money for other items we have to fund in the areas of Human Services, Public Health and Public Safety.

Our built-in and anticipated expenditures total $487 million. This figure does not include any money for col-lectively bargained salaries which by law have to be funded. While we do not have a specific dollar amount as to what it would cost to fund the collectively bargained salaries, we believe that amount will be in excess of $100 million. Our largest built-in expenditure is Medicaid which requires $206 million to fund. Remember, we only have $180 million in new revenues.

With that in mind, supplemental State Aid at 1.25 percent would provide almost $100 million in new fund-ing for K12 schools. This new funding would represent over 55 percent of all new funding available to us and is a substantial commitment given the state of our current budget. By coincidence, total education funding makes up 55 percent of our total state spending. The reality is, the 1.25 percent, $100 million figure is based on sustain-ability, not politics.

Another issue involving schools is the school start date. In an interesting move, the Senate Democrat-ic Majority Leader filed a motion to reconsider on the school start date bill that passed with bipartisan support.

The Senate had earlier passed a bill that removed the school start entirely. That bill went to the House of Repre-sentatives, where it was amended to allow schools to start any time after August 23 and allowed a waiver for year around grade schools. That amended bill then returned to the Senate where it was agreed to on a 28-22 bipartisan vote. The bill should have proceeded on to the Governor for his signature, but instead, in a move that continues to provide uncertainty for schools, the motion to reconsider was filed.

So, the bill is stalled until the motion to reconsider is lifted, or the bill is brought back up for another vote. Time will tell, and the uncertainty continues. Senator Gronstal, the Senate Majority Leader, was quoted in the Des Moines Register saying he isnt in a rush to bring up the measure again and wants to give Senate members time to come to their senses.

PV School District Supt. cites costly repairs; Tax levy approval is vital: IrwinMailing seeks yes vote from voters...By Jill Viles

Residents of the Prairie Valley School District will again take to the polls to decide the fate of the proposed Physical Plant and Equipment levy (PPEL). The tax levy was defeated by a narrow margin in February, and those on both sides of the issue hope that this time there will be a greater awareness on the part of voters both with regard to the voting date, and the details of the levy itself.

The school district has organized a mass mailing to all residents in the district to advise them of the coming vote.

While the Prairie Valley School District is not oper-ating in the red this year, and the next year is expected to secure enough funds, it is expected the district will run into a budget shortfall by years four and five as the dis-trict struggles to keep up with necessary building repairs.

The proposed Physical Plant and Equipment Levy will allow the district to prepare for very expensive re-pairs such as roof and window replacement at the high school, and other concerns at the elementary building in Farnhamville, including parking lot repairs, as well as the replacement of two air-conditioning units.

According to Southeast Valley Board Secretary Lisa Willardson, a school may dip into its general fund to se-cure costs of infrastructure developments, but as with most school years, the general fund is typically stretched to its limits to accommodate the costs of staff and teacher salaries, photocopying costs, materials and supplies, bus fuel, etc.

When an unexpected repair becomes prudent, often theres a struggle to secure funding. An example of this occurred recently as the elevator at the high school re-quired a $36,000 repair. Additionally, it became neces-sary to replace the bleachers and the gym floor during the 2013-2014 school year. PPEL funds were used to replace these at a cost of $150,000.

Superintendent Lois Irwin cautions that if these maintenance issues are not addressed, the district may have to dip into the academic fund for essential repairs that cannot be delayed. She predicts this may lead to a snowball effect in which more and more concerns are not preaddressed and emergency action must be taken. She explains she doesnt want to see this type of strategy utilized by the Prairie Valley School District. For exam-ple, the district needs to replace 14 sections of roofing over the next five years.

Because the individual sections were added at dif-ferent times, the roof replacement may be done section by section, thereby preventing the district from receiving a bill for the entire replacement. However, some areas of the roof are in poor condition, such as the hallway known as the trophy case hallway.

A roof failure resulting in water damage appears em-inent if this is not corrected soon.

Residents of the Prairie Valley School District have a long history of being supportive, explains Superinten-dent Irwin. If its something we need, theyre likely to be supportive.

In contrast, PPEL funds may not be used for costs not dictated by the tax levy. For example, PPEL funds may not be used to cover teachers salaries or fuel costs or books and materials.

A five year plan of proposed funding endeavors is provided at www.south-eastvalley.org Residents are encouraged to look over this proposal. It should be noted that the school districts website has been reorganized since the initial PPEL vote to provide greater ease in terms of accessing this in-formation.

The proposed prop-erty tax increase would result in a change from $8.05 to $9.05, per $1,000 valuation. This means that a home valued at $50,000 would see an annual prop-erty tax increase of $50 per year. Residents are also encouraged to compare property tax rates through-out the state.

A list of these figures is available at http://www.dom.s ta te . ia .us / loca l /schools/
