He then asked for a copy of the current contract with Waste Management. He said that the contract stipulates a letter will be sent to Waste Management if there is an issue with the recycling, and he asked for a copy of that letter considering the fact the city had received a number of complaints about recycling being thrown into the back of garbage trucks. Considerable discussion then ensued concerning the number of complaints the city had received and the action they had taken in response to those complaints. I stated I was not going to address Waste Management with something that I didnt have any validation of that type of action, said city superintendent Brent Wise, in reference to recyclables being thrown into the back of a garbage truck. That particular day when we received four complaints, I and one other employee got in our truck and followed them and never saw a thing go wrong for an hour. Now whether or not it did or didnt, I dont have any proof of that, and if I dont have any proof of that, wouldnt it be errant on my part to state that there was when I didnt have any validation that there was. Again, Newton asked for a copy of the letter addressing the complaints with Waste Management. We dont have a letter, said Wise. We did it by phone call to inquire what was going on, and they ____________________________

Rumors have recently been ying about a Hollywood movie to be lmed in Mount Ayr in the near future. Based upon information from the movies associate producer, it can be conrmed the rumors are true... maybe. Mike Beecher, associate producer on the lm project, told the Record-News this week that he and his associates are working on a full-length feature lm about the life of a young Ronald Reagan in his hometown of Dixon, IL. The movie is based upon a book by Mike Chapman of Newton entitled Lowell Park. The book examimes the years Reagan spent as a lifeguard at Lowell Park, a popular swimming spot on the Rock River near Dixon. According to legend, Reagan saved 77 lives over the course of seven summers. More importantly, Beecher said, the book focuses on a time in his life when the young Reagan began forming his deep personal and family values that led directly to success throughout his life, culminating in his election for two terms as President of the United States. Beecher said the production team is still in the process of nalizing nancing for the movie before details of production can be set. We meet regularly, he said, and Im encouraged by our progress over the past month to six weeks. One major investor in the project is California businessman Paul Ramsey, a name familiar to most people in Ringgold county. And Beecher credits Ramsey with putting the idea of Mount Ayr as a possible location for the lm into the producers minds. Beecher said plans are to lm the movie in two locations: Illinois and Mount Ayr. We like the Mount Ayr location for its setting and time period, he said. He added Mike Chapman had visited Mount Ayr to gather information for an article he wrote on Ramseys connection to Mount Ayr for a recent edition of the Iowa Journal. As yet, however, other members of the production team have not visited Mount Ayr to scout specic locations. Beecher said lming a movie in Mount Ayr will create jobs, at least part time, in the community. He also mentioned the economic impact to area restaurants and other businesses. We want to become a member of the community while were there, he said, and we hope to be a part of the communitys memory when were gone. Beecher said if nancing comes together, he hopes to begin lming yet this summer with a projected release date sometime in 2014. It will be a full-length feature lm with worldwide release, he said. And even if Reagan is a Republican icon, he sees the movie itself as a bi-partisan story that stresses family values over politics. But its not a done deal, warned Beecher. We still have a lot of work to do.

Opinion
Singer beach party will be a good time
Its time for another Ringgold Singers spring concert and this years 1960s beach party should be a lot of fun. I know it will be for those of us who are singing. Music from the 1960s when I was in high school probably seems like ancient music to todays teenagers, but it certainly has been fun for me to resurrect some of the golden oldies with the group this year. Old-timers may remember WHB Radio from Kansas City that played the hits of the day. I remember listening to that station when I was in junior high school in Lamoni to hear songs like The One Eyed, One Horned Pied Purple People Eater and the Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polkadot Bikini. I spent my high school years in Texas and the name of the stations I listened to there didnt make as big of an impression as WHB did, I guess. Songs like Sonnie and Chers I Got You Babe blared from the radio in the locker room during summer football practices, I remember. I remember songs like Cherish and The Lion Sleeps Tonight from my years in the late 1960s at Graceland College (now University). Randy, my freshman roommate, brought a stereo to the room, one of the few on the oor in Gunsolley Hall. He played The Lion Sleeps Tonight over and over again. I had the Associations album with Cherish, which was more to my taste. As we were preparing for the concert we shared our stories about Blue Velvet. Several of us had one. Mine didnt have anything to do with the song except that that was the fabric Valle used for a special dress early in our dating time during my sophomore year and her freshman year in 1969. Valles roommate had asked me out for her to a barn party for our rst date. The pops concert was coming up and I nally worked up enough courage to ask her out to that. I was pretty tardy in doing it, however. Could you go to the pops concert with me Friday night? I asked. No, she answered. How about Saturday night? The concert was being offered for two consecutive nights to large crowds in the Memorial Student Center. Refreshments were served to the people sitting at tables in the MSC main room while the various music groups on campus performed on the stage. I got a yes for Saturday night. Someone on the oor asked me if I could help out as a server for the tables on Friday night, and since my date wasnt until Saturday night, I agreed. I found out why Valle couldnt go with me Friday night. I ended up being the server at the table where she and her Friday night date were sitting. Saturday night when I came to pick her up, she was dressed in a long-sleeve blue velvet dress with a white color and cuffs. The Blue Velvet song writer didnt do her justice, even with all his poetic efforts. I found out later that when I called, Valle decided she was going to sew a special dress to wear on Saturday nights date. How she found time to get that done in the week leading up to the date along with all her other school work, Im not sure. Anyway, she worked her magic on me and I was soon head over heels for her.
THOUGHTS
BY ALAN SMITH
Fifty Years Ago (From the Mount Ayr RecordNews, Thursday, May 2, 1963.) Special services with a threefold purpose -- the dedication of the new parsonage of the First Baptist Church and a new communion table and in honor of the Rev. Orville C. Rinehart, pastor of the church for the past seven years, and Mrs. Rinehart -- will be events of Sunday, May 5. Camille Lawhead of Mount Ayr has been selected by Ringgold Unit 172 to attend Hawkeye Girls State June 16-22 at the State College of Iowa in Cedar Falls. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Lawhead of this city, Miss Lawhead is a junior in the Mount Ayr Community high school. Earnest Richards, 64, retired April 30, as custodian of the Mount Ayr post ofce after 20 years of continuous service. He began his tenure with the local post ofce on May 1, 1943, under the late Peter J. McGrath, postmaster, when the building was only three years old. Supt. and Mrs. C. Arthur Hansen, Norman Klejch of Diagonal and Emeral Wheelen of Maloy, members of the board of education of the Mount Ayr Community school district, and their wives, returned Tuesday from Denver, CO, where the men attended the 23rd annual convention of the National School Boards Association. Eleven men with nine tractors gathered Thursday morning at the Ralph Long farm and spread fertilizer and plowed and harrowed 24 acres of ground for Mr. Long, who had been hospitalized for the past three weeks. Those who helped were George Still, George Fleming, Clarence Morrison, Harvey Wright, Rex Sickels, John Sickels, Junior Dredge, Tom Nichols, Lyndon Nichols, Emeral Wheelen and Chuck Braby. Mrs. Fleming and Mrs. Wheelen assisted Mrs. Long in serving a lunch at the noon hour. Heavy rains, driven by strong winds, swept through Ringgold county during the weekend and a tornado funnel touched down at the Orville Weeter place, known as the Robert Armstrong farm, seven miles south of Mount Ayr, causing damage estimated at $1,500. The storm struck the Armstrong farm Sunday night at 9 p.m., while Mr. and Mrs. Weter and children were home. One side of the barn was blown away, a shed was destroyed, the haymow door was blown out and trees were uprooted. A sow and 10 pigs in the shed and 80 hogs in the barn were unharmed. The observance of National Library Week, April 21-27, afforded an occasion for the Mount Ayr Public Library to honor a charter member of its board of trustees. Mrs. Howard Tedford, a member of the library board since its organization in 1913, and its president since 1940, was the guest of honor at an open house held Tuesday afternoon of last week in the library. The Mount Ayr Community junior high Rebel Raiders won
Casey Campbell, a senior at Cainsville high school in Cainsville, MO recently won a $10,000 scholarship given by the Horatio Alger Society. The scholarship included an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. He is the son of Kevin Campbell of Mount Ayr and Cathy Robinson of Cainsville. Two Mount Ayr Community high school seniors will be traveling to Australia in June to play in a Down Under Bowl football game. Luke Larsen of Cleareld and Nathan Weeda of Mount Ayr, both seniors at Mount Ayr Community high school, have been chosen to take part in the game. The birth reported this week was a son, Carter Albert, born April 15, to Jennifer and Thomas Albert DeMott of Ellston. Obituaries this week were Jean Paige Dunbar, Robert Lee Fisher, Charles W. Morehouse and Bertha Mae Fleming Stafford.

THANK YOU
We would like to thank the entire 4th grade class, Mrs. Green, Mrs. Lynch and Mr. Elwood for their help in our Earth Day adventure. We received so many wonderful ideas it was very hard to choose a first place winner. Haylee wants to work with her 4-H group to put recycling into action; Rachel wants to target rest areas for recycling; Nicholas found a way to turn a recycled plastic bottle into a dog training tool; Jacob has a plan to get everyone composting; and Scott shared plans to bring recycling to the world. The Divine Waste family has decided to reward all the children who participated in the contest.

Into Spring, April Just Got The Memo. The article had a map of the United States showing the extent of the unusually cold month of April. Record overnight lows and record low maximum temperatures for the day were recorded between April 17 and April 24. The map shows the cold extending from Washington state to Rhode Island and from Minnesota to Texas. Gazing out on the snowy landscape and hearing of school closings and delays, it appears that May has lost that memo. Snowfall in Iowa in May is rare but it does happen. According to the State Climatologist ofce, snow has fallen in May in Iowa 47 percent of the years in the past 125. The most recent report is a trace on May 1 in Forest City and May 3 in Lansing in 2011. Some of the records include Denison with eight inches on May 9 and 10 of 1945. In 1947 Le Mars received 10 inches on May 28. New books in the library: In large print Christian ction: The Way Home by Katherine Spencer. Ms. Spencer, who co-authored with Thomas Kinkade, the Cape Light and Angel Island novels, is continuing the Angel Island series. In large print ction: Whiskey Beach, a new romantic suspense thriller from Nora Roberts and Starting Now by Debbie Maccomber, a return to Seattles Blossom Street.

National Nursing Home Week has always had a singular focus to honor the seniors and other residents served by the long-term care community. For 2013, the Iowa Health Care Association continues this tradition, but includes the message that residents and families can play a vital role in care planning and its daily implementation. This years theme recognizes residents in long-term care settings, the dedicated staff who care for them, and the value of care planning where everyone pitches in for optimal outcomes. The observance is an opportunity to involve not only residents but family members, staff, community members and our youth in a community-wide show of support and respect for our seniors and the staff who provide care.

this Friday, May 10, with the usual birthday menu of fried chicken, birthday cake and ice cream. Cakes will be provided by ladies from Saint Josephs Catholic Church. Please call in a reservation as soon as you can so enough fried chicken and other food can be prepared. In fact you need to call in anytime you plan on coming to the meals. All are hoping that Carol and John May will soon be back at the site. John took a fall and has been rather laid up from it. Everyone hopes he heals well and soon as they miss them. Also missed are David and Darlene Irving who are now getting meals delivered to their home. Perhaps some day they too will be able to rejoin those at the site. This writer appreciates those who are willing to pour rells of coffee. She doesnt mind sharing that job at all. Pete Lesan stepped up to do this sometimes. No job is too small to be appreciated at the meal site. Louise Frost brought some jokes she found on the internet and asked Joyce to share some of them. It brightened up the dreary Friday and brought some laughter to the group. A good laugh is good for the soul. There are several jokes so it looks like one will be told from time to time. If you have ideas for table decorations or have things that could be used for decorations, please feel free to share them. Since Mothers Day is Sunday, May 10, this writer will close with this quote: No matter how old a mother is, she watches her middleaged children for signs of improvement. -- Florida Scott-Maxwell supper guests at Carrie and Wiley Mains Saturday. Louden and Calvin Main and Bryson and Kaden Smith were overnight guests at Ginny and Bills. Sunday morning the Quicks, Mains and Smiths went to the Mount Ayr Legion for breakfast. Ann Stephens of Boone spent Friday with Kenny and Berta Quick. Kenny and Berta visited Bess Pickering Saturday afternoon. Rebecca, Bryson and Kaden Smith were Sunday lunch guests at Quicks. Wanda Hoseld called on Betty and J.W. Robertson Sunday afternoon. Betty and J.W. went to visit Mary Daniels in the Albany, MO hospital Sunday afternoon. Matthew Shervheim of Manitou Springs, CO visited his family Wednesday through Sunday. The Shervheims attended the wedding of Emily VanRaden and Joe Peters Saturday in Des Moines. The Sunshine Workers met for their May meeting Wednesday evening at Frontier Hall with Bobby and Breanne Peterman as hosts. They also gave presentations on snack preparation. Dick Snethen put up the new basketball hoop in the Redding park recently. Dale Walkup provided the posthole digger. The community will certainly enjoy this new feature and appreciate Dick and Dales help. Bobbi Bainum visited Dorothy Main at Mount Ayr Health Care Center Wednesday. David Maudlin visited Saturday afternoon with Michael Bainum. Bill Hunt was a Sunday afternoon visitor of Bainums.

May 6 - The past week has been really busy at the Activity Center with the diabetic educator program and the LifeServe Blood Center program in addition to the regular activities going on. This week those at the Center are gathering items for the annual garage sale which will be held at the same time as the bake sale.....a 2-for-1 deal at the Activity Center. Pick up some goodies for Mothers Day and a bargain to boot! The garage sale will be held on both Friday and Saturday mornings but the bake sale will only be on Friday. Items have been arriving all week for the garage sale. Donated bake sale items can be brought Thursday afternoon or Friday morning early. The rst nursing home and assisted living visit of the season was on Monday and was enjoyed. They talked about the spring birds that are arriving -- the wrens, Baltimore orioles, humming birds, bluebirds, tanagers, grosbeaks, etc. and their antics this time of year. Janet had brought her iPad with a Peterson Feeder Bird app on it so that the different sounds of the birds could be heard. Also, an article about Hilary Swank and her new HBO movie entitled Mary and Martha about the ravages of malaria in Africa, Asia and South America was discussed. The May potluck will be held on Tuesday, May 14, at noon. Bring in a covered dish and enjoy the meal with them. They have great cooks in this community and a lot of them participate at the Activity Center. After the meal they will have a game of bingo as the regular Tuesday afternoon activity. Stick around and join the bingo session also if you would like. Two Tuesdays in a row they have a meal at the Activity Center. May 21 brings Care Initiatives and another pizza and bingo party with the pizza party at noon and bingo following with prizes. They always have a good time with the Care Initiatives team. Everyone is getting ready for Memorial weekend at the Activity Center also as there are four different groups using the facility for class reunions, a birthday party and a family get-together. Memorial weekend is really the busiest time for the facility being used. People are still being added to the Weston day trip on May 24, with a few more people being added on Monday. They still have room on the bus so, if you would like to go, get in touch with Sharon at the Activity Center. The Center is busy wrapping up what needs to be done for the Albuquerque-Santa Fe motorcoach trip in June. Joen Brown is nish-
ing up her shopping for that trip while down in Branson, MO the next couple of weeks. The Pigeon Forge and Smoky Mountains show trip has been so popular that they have two buses almost lled. There are just a few seats left so, if you have not signed up, you need to be doing so. Call to see if they have seats available. The survey they sent out to participants of past trips have been answered and helped Joen and the Activity Center to decide on trips for the next two years. They are sure that Joen is going to be leading the trips through 2015 and that makes us happy! It looks like this area might be getting a warm spell so they will be seeing the sun a little bit more. This writer thinks everyone is ready for it. Get out and take a walk in the nice weather and stop by the Activity Center for a drink on your way about town! They would love to see you.

One of his favorite movies is Lord of the Rings, and he normally enjoys wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Jasper enjoys listening to classic rock, 80s rap, modern music, basically anything but country. Jaspers most memorable moment in high school and elementary was when he was in fourth grade and he and Braydee would always turn the boombox all the way up before class started. That way when they would start the audio book it would be really loud. The most inuential people in Jaspers life are his parents. They have always been there to give him advice when he has needed it. If Jasper could describe himself in one word it would be original. This is because he doesnt like to follow the latest fashion trends or do what everybody else is doing, just because it is cool. He just does what he likes to do, and hes okay with that. Jasper plans to attend Iowa

They have always been there to support her through everything. They have gone to all of her athletic events, band concerts and plays. Without them, it would have been hard to make it through high school. If Emily had to describe herself in one word it would be talkative. No matter who she is with she is always talking, even if it is in class. The best advice she has ever received is if you want to be the best you can be, you have to work at it. You cant just expect things to change - you have to put the effort in.

they claried that they were using the smaller truck to pick up recycling. Newton then asked Wise to elaborate on his contact from the Department of Natural Resources concerning a possible SWAP grant to assist the city with recycling if it chose to take over the garbage service. Newton claimed that the DNR had told him they had no knowledge of contacting Wise about the grant. They had no idea how that could possibly be, said Newton, because they dont contact people in order to see if they would be interested in applying for a SWAP grant. He asked Wise to furnish him the name of the person who had contacted him. Is this an attack on me, Tim? asked Wise. No, its not an attack on you, replied Newton. Well, let me just clear something up, said Wise. If this is the type of conversation were going to have, Im not having any more of them. I wouldnt want to have any more of them either, if I was you, said Newton. Were going to stop this right now, said Wise. This is how its going to work if you have something to present, by all means present it. At the last meeting we had you kind of put it out there that you were accountable to the people in this town, and you want to make sure you are doing the highest and best for the people of this town, said Newton. From where Im sitting as a business owner and consumer in this town, I see that the mayor spends a lot of time here running the city... And you being the city superintendent with your time Im just curious how you put the city of Mount Ayr rst over and above the city of Lenox that you are the mayor of. Thats irrelevant, said councilwoman Deloris Stutzman. What he does outside of this job is irrelevant. He can be mayor of Lenox if he wants. It has nothing to do with this. Youre absolutely correct, said Newton. It has nothing to do with this other than the time and energy that would be given to... Can you tell me one day I was needed here that I wasnt here?
asked Wise. I dont have any idea, replied Newton. Okay, then stop the allegations, said Wise. When you feel you have something that has some merit, then bring it on, but from this time forward... I dont understand why youre attacking me. Im not attacking you, said Newton. What Im saying is the amount of time and energy that I see Don [Solliday] spending on this job, I would question how you could possibly... The time he spends? said councilman Wes Mathany. Do you know how many hours hes been putting in a week? Do you have any clue? Any clue whatsoever? Tim, do you have a bid for us? asked councilman Mack Greene. Thats what we want tonight. I would absolutely like to bid, replied Newton, but Id like to get some things cleared up. We all know whats going on here in the city, said Greene, and we dont have a problem with it. Lets get to the point were talking garbage tonight. Newton then brought up that Mayor Solliday had told him that providing reference letters to the council was a waste of time. Thats not exactly what I said, replied Solliday, but you can interpret it however you want to. I told you that you could have handed those out to the council, and they would have time to look at them, but they didnt have time at the council meeting to look at those letters. It was a waste of council meeting time, in my estimation. Thats what I told you. No, you told me that my letters were a waste of time, said Newton. You can say whatever you want to, but I know what I said, replied Solliday. I know what you said too, and I have it on tape recorder too in case anybody would like to have a copy of that, said Newton. All youve ever come in here with is something negative, never anything positive, to push your business, that I can see, said Solliday. Tim, I dont think you could work with the council even if you got the contract, added Stutzman, because youve alienated everybody here. Ive never heard you present
anything that didnt run somebody else down, said Solliday. That just turns me off. Okay, Don, how have I run anybody down? asked Newton. Well, youve done it a few times tonight, replied Solliday. And if you think you havent, you need to listen to your tape. Heres what were going to decide tonight, said Stutzman. Were going to decide about a garbage contract. If we decide were going to do it ourselves, ne. If we dont, then it has to go out for bids or we can keep the same as what we have. But thats a decision were going to make tonight. And you can carry on about what people said or didnt say or what you taped or didnt tape, but were still going to get down to the fact that were going to decide what were going to do about a garbage contract. This personal business has nothing to do with the garbage contract, absolutely nothing, said Mathany. I believe that it does, said Newton. I brought up about the letter rst, that doesnt seem to be a concern. After more give-and-take between Newton and the council, city attorney Richard Wilson stepped in. Mr. Mayor, weve gone on and on and on about these things, he said. I think its about time to rule Tim out of order because were not talking about the direction to proceed with residential garbage removal. Were getting far removed, and unless he wants to stick to that as an issue, I would suggest you rule him out of order and he can no longer sit at this council table. Heres the deal, Tim, said Stutzman. When we close this meeting tonight, if we put it out for bids, you will be notied to send us a bid. Otherwise, thats the end of the garbage conversation. Newton then reminded the council of the educational efforts by his company in area schools and in the community. But the discussion soon returned to the earlier conversation between Newton and Solliday. I will make a tape recording of the conversation, Mayor, where you said you would make sure that we would not get the contract, said Newton. I dont think I ever said that, replied Solliday.
Now you are out of order, interjected Stutzman. Are you going to stick with this [agenda item on garbage service], or are you going to keep bitching and moaning? asked Solliday. Because of youre going to keep bitching and moaning, youre out of here. Correct me if Im wrong, said Newton. Did you or did you not tell me the letter of recommendation from the Mount Ayr Park board was not 100 percent? Yes I did, replied Solliday, but forget about the complaints. Tell us what youre going to offer the city in the way of a garbage contract. We would like to pick up the citys garbage and recycling, said Newton, and would like to bring recycling to the whole city. Newton repeated his point about bringing revenue to the city and doing business in the city. He then brought up the fact that he had invited council members to tour his recycling facility, but no one in taken him up on his offer. Councilman Mathany said he had attempted to make contact with Newton to set up a tour, but the tour was never arranged. Newton said he was unable to reach Mathany on the phone number he was given. After another several minutes of argument, Mayor Solliday asked for council discussion leading to a decision on the future of garbage service in the city, Councilman Gerold Cannon asked if the council could hold a special meeting next week so they could discuss the decision with clear minds. Other council members agreed. The council asked the representatives from Waste Management and Tim Newton if they had any objections to postponing the decision until next week. After neither expressed an objection, a special city council meeting was set for Tuesday, May 14 at 7 p.m.

is feed that is brought back up from their stomach to chew. Cattle spend one-third of their life eating, onethird ruminating (chewing cud) and one-third resting. The rumen is one part of the cows four-part stomach. It can digest things like hay and grass that humans cannot. Chewing their food again helps them digest the grass and hay. Humans are called monogastrics (sometimes called a simple stomach) because their stomach has only one compartment. Humans dont have the chemicals and microbes in their stomachs that also aid in the digestion of cellulose, which is the main component of roughages. Cattle eat hay in the winter when grass doesnt grow. June, July and August are haying time on most cattle farms. Hay consists of long grasses such as alfalfa that have been cut and dried to use as animal feed. A round/large bale is enough hay for two-to-three days. (This would be for 120 breeding females or 32 feeder calves, both getting additional feed supplements.) In the fall, after the elds are harvested, cattle can eat cornstalks left in the cornelds. Iowa farmers raise more corn than any other state. About one-third of the corn grown in Iowa is used to feed livestock. This corn is eld corn, not the sweet corn that we eat. The whole corn plant is chopped, while green, and then stored in tower silos, pits or trenches. Feeding grain to cattle produces more tender, juicy, great-tasting beef. In parts of the United States some cattle also eat seeds, hulls and peels from potatoes, grapes, oranges, apples, nuts and rice. Cattle also eat corn gluten, which is leftover from ethanol production. This greatly reduces the amount of waste that goes into our landlls. How does grazing help the land? Cattle graze on land that cant be used for other food production because it is too steep or hilly, or too dry or too rocky for growing crops. Cattle grazing helps keep the weeds from growing. Keeping this land in grass or pasture helps prevent soil from washing away. When cattle are properly grazed, they benet the soil when they walk on it. They aerate the soil with their hooves, which means they loosen the soil when they walk on it. This allows more oxygen to enter the and plants grow better. If soil isnt soil, helping grasses aerated, it often develops a hard crust, which decreases the amount of water and nutrients it can absorb. They also press grass seeds into the soil. This is important because grass seed needs to be surrounded by soil in order to start growing. Cattle also provide a natural fertilizer to the soil in the form of manure which provides nutrients for the

About 1.2 billion acres of land in the US are classied as grazing land one-half the size of the United States. At least 90 percent of those acres are covered with grass. Indigestible by humans, grass can by digested by cattle, which in turn becomes beef and dairy products. Where do cattle live? Cattle can live outside all year long because they have a special coat of hair that protects them all year long. In the winter, their hair grows longer and is thicker to protect them from the cold temperatures and snow. And in the summer, their hair keeps them cool from the sun and warm temperatures. 3,850,000 1,280,000 4th 1,920,000 7,845 30,000 21,000 925,000 9th 2,400 205,000 9th 12,866 26,500 148 mil bushels $5.1 billion $2.470 Billion State Rank All Cattle & Calves (January 1, 2013) 6th (tied w/SD)
It is important for cattle to have protection from some of the weather elements. Trees, windbreaks and barns help protect them from snow, wind, rain and the sun. A feedlot is where beef cattle nish growing. In feedlots, cattle are generally placed in open pens, with lots of space, dry resting areas, adequate water at all times and regular feedings. How do we determine the quality of meat? In the beef industry, beef is classied into different categories, called grades, which are standard throughout the industry. ____________________________

With the assistance of the Ringgold County Conservation Board, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources released four trumpeter swans at the Mount Ayr Wildlife Area (Walnut Creek Lake) on Wednesday, May 8. The event included a 20-minute swan/wetland presentation as well as an opportunity to touch and view the swans up close. As the largest North American waterfowl, these all-white birds can weigh up to 32 pounds with an eight-foot wingspan. Trumpeter swans were once common in Iowa, but were gone from the state by the late 1880s. By the early 1930s, only 69 trumpeter swans remained in the lower 48 states. The trumpeter swans released are part of the DNRs statewide trumpeter swan restoration effort, with hopes that they will help restore a wild free ying population to Iowa.

Sports Raiders run away with POI crown, tune up for districts at Nodaway Valley
The Raiders dominated the Pride of Iowa conference track meet and prepared for district action with a second-place nish at the Nodaway Valley Invitational. Pride of Iowa It was a spectacular night for the Raiders, stated coach Brad Elliott as the Mount Ayr boys claimed their third straight conference team title in the 2013 Pride of Iowa track meet held Tuesday night, April 30 at Truro. Besides the team title, the meet featured several highlights, not the least of which was a new MACHS and conference meet record high jump by Raider senior Braydee Poore. Poores rst-place leap of 69 easily eclipsed his old record of 67 set earlier this season at the ISU Classic, an indoor meet. Poore also claimed gold in the 110M Hurdles. Noah Larsen scored two golds for his wins in the 3200M and 1600M runs. His 1600M time of 4:48 places him sixth all-time in MACHS history. Shane Swank earned a silver in the 400M hurdles, and his time of 58.54 moved him into eighth place all-time. The 4x400 relay team of Kyle Dolecheck, Jack Jones, Erik Freed and Jacob Sobotka also claimed gold and moved to seventh on the all-time list. Coaches Elliott and Kurt Wallace were very pleased with their team. We had a school record, season bests and personal bests in nearly every event, something you dont see very often or from an entire team, he said. According to Mount Ayr activities director Delwyn Showalter, the 2013 conference title is the 14th championship for the Raider track team since the inception of the Pride of Iowa Conference. The Raiders compete in the 2A district meet tonight (May 9) at Greeneld.

All were saddened by the death of Jean Haidsiak. She came to Clearview August 28, 2009 and passed away April 30, 2013. Jean participated in most of the activities and especially enjoyed bingo and playing cards. She had a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed a good joke. She is survived by daughters Kay Miles and Carolyn Williams and son George Haidsiak. All extend their sympathy to the family. Residents enjoyed ice cream bars and ice cream sandwiches during bingo a couple of times the last two weeks. They thought those just hit the spot. After Bible study Monday Jeani took Darlene Gilbert for a wheelchair ride to the Taygold convenience store. They enjoyed an ice cold coke along with some popcorn. It was one of the few warm days this spring. Amy also took Bev Stream and Gerald Baker for walks outside.

April was a great month for everyone at Maple Ridge as Margaret Wilson was able to spend two weeks in Tennessee with her son and family. She reports a wonderful time! Betty Rullestad is spending several weeks in Illinois with her daughter, Sue. They all miss her and hope she is doing well while she is gone.

Another trip to Tingley was made by Vergene, Dick and Phyllis just to enjoy lunch, music and visiting. All wish to send a huge welcome to Marjorie Ibbotson. Marjorie comes to Maple Ridge from Tingley and is a joy to all. Welcome, Marjorie! Tenants have enjoyed a variety of wonderful activities during the month of April ranging anywhere from music, trivia and mind games to dominoes and ball games. It is also nice to be able to attend activities such as church, Bible study, musical entertainment and bingo at the Mount Ayr Health Care Center. A pizza party was held one evening with four kinds of pizza and pop to enjoy along with ice cream sundaes for dessert. Games were also a part of the evening and included a pillow case relay, a wild game of y swat ball and a re brigade relay before everyone shared stories of overnight stays when they were growing up. Several made their way through the Sheep Shed that was set up outside in the parking lot. Yes, a sheep shed, although this one is used for a different purpose as it houses antiques, candles, rugs and more. This Sheep Shed was made especially for this purpose and was shared by LaVern and Carolyn Burtis. Bingo winners at Maple Ridge during April were Margaret Wilson, Paul Smith, Vergene Higgins, Donna Benegas, Elladeen McGahuey, Marcia Allen (guest of Paul Smith), Earle Schad and Frances Goff.

April went out with a BANG! Western Day rounded up the month with a shoot-out as tenants each showed their shooting skills by shooting cans off a log. Some were certainly surprised at their great aim while others were shocked by the odd things their aim hit! They also tried their hand at roping and enjoyed participating in the cowboy hat slide. While enjoying haystacks and cactus juice they all joined in on a round of cowboy trivia. Most were humming a cowboy song as they headed home.

Monday, April 29, 2013. The meeting was called to order at 9 a.m. with the following members present: David Inloes, Royce Dredge and Kraig Pennington. A motion was made by Kraig Pennington and seconded by Royce Dredge to approve the agenda. AYES: Unanimous. NAYS: None. A motion was made by Royce Dredge and seconded by Kraig Pennington to approve the previous minutes. AYES: Unanimous. NAYS: None. EMA Director Teresa Jackson met with the board to discuss the Continuity of Community and Governments Plan. The plan proposes an alternative location should a disaster occur and the courthouse become inoperable. The REC was an option; however, due to a conict, this will not be feasible. Jackson said the 4-H building is an option; there is good parking, phone hook-ups, enough space, restrooms, etc. Jackson will get a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from the Fair Board. A second option would be the Catholic Church basement. Jackson will follow up on both options and report back to the board. Once the location is determined, Jackson will have to hold a functional exercise for all employees. Through a HAZMAT grant Jackson hired Matt Woody to perform a commodity ow study along Highway 2 through Ringgold county. This study will show the amount of hazardous materials that travel through the county. Jackson reported that 24 hours of continuing education have been completed. She is also compliant with workshops and drills that are required. Jackson noted that Ed McCreary will assist with a re drill test in the courthouse. Very few employees are familiar with the re escape on the third oor. Jackson will choose a date for the drill. Jackson is also preparing a Pet Plan. According to the plan, the pets will go to the fairgrounds. There are four pet trailers available through the state that are stocked if needed in a disaster. The certication team will work with Dr. Keith Miller on details of the plan. Jackson and Engineer Zach Gunsolley worked together during ood damage last week notifying the public of closed roads, damages, etc. Jackson reported that she is working on the details of implementing a National Flood Insurance Program for Ringgold county. In order to participate, the county must rst adopt an ordinance that requires a permit prior to construction within a special ood hazard area. David Inloes questioned who will be in charge or monitoring the zoning requirements and ensuring they are met. National ood plain maps are being prepared for the county. Once completed there will be a process to determine eligibility for ood insurance. Jackson reported that Connie Richards and Peggy Johnson are qualied to be Red Cross representatives in the county. Jackson mentioned she is working with Sheriff Mike Sobotka on a tornado/severe weather program. She is now the coordinator for the safe room at Judge Lewis Park. Jeff Sickels has donated time to do dirt work at the new safe room. Jackson reported the safe room holds 228 people. At 10:02 a.m. Royce Dredge moved to go into closed session per Iowa Code 21.5 (1) (c) to discuss a litigation matter. Kraig Pennington second. Motion Carried. Present: David Inloes, Kraig Pennington, Royce Dredge, County Attorney Clint Spurrier, Public Health Director Becky Fletchall, RCSS Director Cathy McGahuey, Attorney Carlton Salmons and Auditor Amanda Waske. At 11:01 a.m. Royce Dredge moved to adjourn the closed session. Kraig Pennington second. Motion carried. County Engineer Zach Gunsolley met with the board to provide an update on Secondary Roads. NRCS request for assistance letter was reviewed and signed. Ofce Manager Lizzie Hanawalt has been gathering information relating to the ood damage last week. Gunsolley reported there are funds available to the county for damages sustained during the week of April 15. He will look further into this. Gunsolley discussed Wellness Committee participation from his department. The committee would like a representative from Secondary Roads but realizes their hectic schedule, especially with summer approaching. Gunsolley said he doesnt mind if they participate but doesnt know about having a representative attend the monthly meetings. Auditor Amanda Waske stated
Public Notices
at rst the meetings will be monthly, but may become every other month as the program develops. She also added that not all wellness activities would take his employees from their job. There are some activities the committee has in mind that could be done over lunch or during a break. Gunsolley agreed this would be more benecial. Gunsolley addressed many members of the public regarding the sealcoat roads throughout the county. He began with a presentation showing some of the damage to the roads from 2010 and 2013. Gunsolley mentioned the fuel tax has not been raised since 1989; 80 percent of his budget comes from this fund. With 75 miles of sealcoat roads throughout the county, cold patching is not a cost effective method of repair. Gunsolley added Secondary Roads is in a hiring freeze. He has lost six employees in the past ve years. Gunsolley asked the crowd which roads they would like to see maintained and which roads they would like put back to gravel. His department does not have enough funding currently to repair all roads. He then asked if the public would be interested in pursuing a bond issue again. There is a citizens group putting together a plan for a bond proposal. Jeannette Williams asked if there could be a tax tariff imposed on large trucks/equipment that damages the roads. Elaine Tutor added that the road was in good condition until the hog connements were built. She added that they should have to pay more taxes. Justin Cook spoke about implementing low water crossings as they do in Missouri. They are low cost and easy to maintain. With the county having no funds to repair roads and bridges, why not put in a low water crossing. Gunsolley mentioned a severe accident in Union county related to a low water crossing therefore he does not want that type of liability in the county. Gunsolley also added that the rivers are cutting deeper and wider and will therefore wash away the riprap. Judy Mercer questioned if the roads go back to gravel will the county be able to maintain them? They are not being maintained now, she added. Gunsolley said he would rather have a gravel road to maintain as opposed to cold patching sealcoat roads as gravel would be safer. Spencer Lumbard asked if there is a plan in the ve or seven years to pave J23? Gunsolley responded no, but there could be. Pennington claried that the board has not decided to turn all sealcoat roads back to gravel. While there are a few roads that could be returned to gravel, it has not been discussed to do so. Inloes noted that they could cut the gravel budget and put those monies in the sealcoat fund if that is what the public wants. Jim Werner asked if there are funds in the county budget to move to the roads department. Pennington said the county is currently contributing the most that is allowed per the state. Melinda England mentioned J23 is not wide enough when oncoming trafc meets; someone has to go off what little shoulder is there. The roads need to be xed right, she said, or the county will be held liable when/if a wreck occurs. Reagan Main said she would rather drive on a gravel road for a short term knowing that the long term plan is to pave the sealcoat roads. She said that would be safer than patching as the need arises. Dredge added that he is worried about out of town people traveling on these roads and not familiar with this type of surface. Spence Jones asked how much gravel it would take to gravel the roads. He also asked when the Wishard Chapel project was going to start. Gunsolley told him May 6th, weather permitting. Karlene Stephens said there is a variance in how the roads are maintained. She asked if there was training offered, yearly or otherwise. With Gunsolley being the department head, the direction should start there. Gunsolley said there has been no training. He will look into this. Raymond Shields asked if the bond issue does come up and passes; will the county have the money to maintain the roads? He also asked what the life expectancy is. Inloes responded with seven to 10 years of life expectancy. Paul Dykstra asked if Secondary Roads did receive more money would he hire more employees or outsource all of the work. Gunsolley responded he would hire out the work as that would be a smaller amount of money, then it could be managed in house. In a previous meeting Ed Johnston told Inloes that the bond would have a better chance of passing if it
came from a grass roots campaign and was citizen driven. Reagan Main added that the bond should be paid off in 10 years, not 15 since the life of the road would not be more than 10 years. Melinda England said the county seems to have gotten away from a ve year plan; there doesnt appear to be a plan at all. She added that being told to call our senator and representative does not sufce. Justin Cook suggested to the board to do one mile at a time if needed. The people understand the lack of funding; but show some effort he added. Karlene Stephens asked if it would be benecial to hold a meeting involving a representative from each township. Dredge mentioned that Dan Coulson used much of the funding when he was engineer to repair bridges and culverts, which was badly needed. Therefore the roads were sacriced. Paul Dykstra suggested converting the roads to gravel, reshape them and have the roads ready for when funds do come available. Pay as you go, do not pay interest on a bond. The issue of embargoing roads came up. Doug Frost noted farm to market roads cannot be embargoed. The equipment now a days is the face of agriculture; we will just have to make adjustments to accommodate. Inloes added that the county receives money for the farm to market roads. Mitch England said Diagonal has a lot of small business and tax dollars that are contributed to the county. Rough roads take business from small towns. Jim Smith said the ambulance and re trucks will not travel P64 or P68 because of the severity of the roads. Harold Cooper questioned the pot holes west of Kellerton and who is responsible for repairing them. Gunsolley said it belongs to the City of Kellerton. A few citizens argued this stating a certain portion of the road is City of Kellerton and the other half is county. This will be looked into. Reagan Main thanked Gunsolley for the presentation and said it was very helpful. The board thanked everyone for attending and said a plan will be put in place. Andrew Collings, with the Southern Iowa Council of Governments, met with the board to discuss an airport zoning ordinance. Ted Smith and Dan Cunning were also present on behalf of the airport commission. Collings mentioned that the state is requiring that every city implement an airport zoning ordinance. Grant funding is available to fund 85 percent of the ordinance. A portion of the airport does extend in to the county. Both the city and county have to adopt the ordinance. The ordinance focuses on height and land use. The City of Mount Ayr has accepted the ordinance in order to apply for the grant. Dredge questioned the entire zoning process. Dredge asked if we need to visit with County Attorney Clint Spurrier rst? Collings stated this is just the start of the process. There will be a public hearing and notices will be mailed to those affected by the ordinance. In essence the city would maintain the easement. Once the ordinance is agreed upon, grant funds can be applied for. Cunning stated funds will be used to resurface the runway. The board fully supports this ordinance. Collings also met with the board regarding the Hazard Mitigation Plan for the county. Adopting this plan will allow for more FEMA funding if a disaster strikes. The plan must be updated every ve years.

A motion was made by Kraig Pennington and seconded by David Inloes to adjourn the meeting at 4:05 p.m. DAVID INLOES Chairman ATTEST: AMANDA WASKE Ringgold County Auditor _______________________ May 2, 2013 The Ringgold County Board of Supervisors met in regular session Thursday, May 2, 2013. The meeting was called to order at 9 a.m. with the following members present: David Inloes, Royce Dredge and Kraig Pennington. A motion was made by Kraig Pennington and seconded by Royce Dredge to approve the agenda. AYES: Unanimous. NAYS: None. A motion was made by Royce Dredge and seconded by Kraig Pennington to approve the previous minutes. AYES: Unanimous. NAYS: None. Also present: Jim Newton, Mitch England and Charles Fifer County Engineer Zach Gunsolley met with the board to review a roads repair plan. Gunsolley provided to the board maps of sealcoat roads, paved roads and road counts from 2008. Jim Newton added the new trafc accounts are available online. Charles Fifer said if the county would furnish the materials for sealcoating, he would do the work. Dredge said he would not have proper equipment to do the patching. Gunsolley said he would discuss this with County Attorney Clint Spurrier. Fifer also mentioned there is a post by Harold Coopers that is a trafc hazard and needs to be removed. He also mentioned the tubes east of his driveway are rusted out and need replaced. Fifer said he knows the county has a lot to do now, but pot holes need repaired before an accident occurs. Pennington asked if we are xing gravel patches only, pot holes or entire roads. Gunsolley stated he needs long term and short term direction. Pennington noted he does not want to repair the mile and half by Lynchs that was turned to gravel last year. Pennington noted the bridge on J55 between Redding and Blockton needs repaired. Pennington suggested Secondary Roads start on J55 followed by J23 then P68. His plan is to work around the county. Inloes stated he does not want to patch if the roads will eventually turn back to gravel. Gunsolley reported the compactor has not been working for 15 years. Pennington asked about xing it or if their plan is to just let it set. Gunsolley does not have enough money in the parts budget to repair this. Currently his priorities are transmissions, should they need repaired, or other major repairs as they arise. Inloes would like to plan accordingly so the crew is not going all over the county. Newton asked if renting a compactor is an option. Gunsolley said it is more of a manpower issue. Gunsolley noted a tanker will do mile. Inloes asked about getting two semis a day. Gunsolley replied yes. Gunsolley said the crew will be done in one day with each section of a road. Gunsolley does not want
a road closed overnight. Gunsolley is anticipating 15 days to complete all patching throughout the county; taking into account breakdowns. England asked if the county has priced farming this project out. Working for the City of Diagonal, England has found prices to be lower by doing this. England stated Diagonal is having patch repair work done for $3.80/ sq yard; this includes materials and labor. Gunsolley does feel it would be comparable to outsourcing as doing the repairs in house. Gunsolley said 4.3-6 times more of property owners taxes go to schools than secondary roads and 67 percent more property taxes go to the hospital than to secondary roads. Gunsolley wants to grade and pave P68 as oppose to just paving for safety reasons due to the sharp curves. Dredge asked what the ve year plan is to pave roads in the county. What is the next road? Inloes suggested J55 between P46 and Lamoni. Inloes suggested sealcoating and patching P68. Dredge asked if they should put P64 ahead of J55. Gunsolley recommended grading P64 rst prior to paving. Inloes suggested laying 8 concrete and do a minimum of 24 wide shoulders. Gunsolley noted farm to market funds requires certain specications. They decided this paving project for P64 will be within 5 to 6 years. Within 10 years J23 between Hwy 169 and Diagonal will be completed the same way as P64. Inloes asked if J23 needed to be 8 inch concrete. Dredge questioned if J23 should be before P64. Pennington did not think so. The board determined the short term goals for sealcoating and patching roads throughout the county. This direction is below in resolution 13100. Pennington asked what the plan is to train road graders. There is a motor grader training put on by the DOT but Gunsolley does not have the funds in his budget. RESOLUTION RC13101 WHEREAS, the Ringgold County Board of Supervisors hereby approves to adopt the short term sealcoat/patching map guide as follows: 1. J23 between Hwy 169 and Diagonal 2. P68 north of Hwy 2 3. P64 south of Hwy 2 4. J55 between P46 & Hwy 169 5. J55 between Redding and Blockton 6. P46 South between J55 corner and state line 7. P68 south of Hwy 2 8. Sun Valley Lake Roads 9. J43 between Delphos and Hwy 169 THEREFORE, a motion was made by Kraig Pennington and seconded by Royce Dredge stating such. The vote on the resolution: AYES: Unanimous. NAYS: None. ATTEST: Amanda Waske, Auditor. Passed and approved May 2, 2013. There was no further business. A motion was made by Kraig Pennington and seconded by David Inloes to adjourn the meeting at 12:18 p.m. DAVID INLOES Chairman ATTEST: AMANDA WASKE Ringgold County Auditor
