SWG school tax levy election Feb. 3;

PPEL increased over 10-year period
From .52 cents to $1 per $1,000 valuation. . .
By Glenn Schreiber

The Southeast Webster Grand School district
has scheduled a special election for a Physical Plant and
Equipment Levy (PPEL) on Tuesday, Feb. 3.

This school district has operated with an infrastructure tax levy for more than 30 years and currently the
tax levy is 52 cents per $1,000 of taxable valuation. The
tax levy on the Feb. 3 ballot would increase that tax levy
to $1 per $1,000 of taxable valuation.

The current school tax levy will expire in 2016.
The new tax levy, if approved, would continue for 10
years.

If the measure is approved it would impose an
income surtax upon the state individual commencing with
calendar year 2015 (the percent of income surtax not to
exceed 20%).

A person/family with a home valuation of
$50,000 will continue to pay about $26 in the school tax
levy. For a $100,000 home/real estate the cost would be

$52 per year. On the state income tax side, a person with
a $500 state income tax would pay an additional $20 per
year and a person with a $1,000 state income tax bill
would pay an additional $40 per year.

These scenarios cover a large number of people
within the district, but no farmers. Their situations are
different. The same formulas are in place for farmers but
there is obviously more real estate involved and likewise
more state income tax involved.

Among the 338 school districts in Iowa, 281
have some income surtax in their levy.

Southeast Webster Grand has used PPEL funds
in the past for construction of new additions; heating system upgrades and repairs; technology items like computers; purchase of school buses; roof, gym floor replacement; and more.

By law the funds cannot be used for salaries,
benefits or other general fund expenditures.

One man at AZ swimming

pool and he was Gowrie grad. . .
It was a nice sunny day in Mesa, AZ, with temps in

the high sixties. But it was windy and a little chilly and
therefore there was only one person at the Farnsworth
swimming pool that larte afternoon in Dreamland Villa.
The gentleman pulled into the parking lot in his golf
cart. When we entered the pool area the man was in the
hot tub and that was our destination also.
Where are you from? the man asked.
Iowa, I said.
Ha, thats where I came from many years ago. Im
from the town of Gowrie, he declared.
Ive heard of it, I said as I chuckled inside.
His name was Elwood Winger, or was it Ringer? I
didnt have a note pad with me in the hot tub.
I graduated from Gowrie High School in 1949 and I
never looked back, he said.
Actually, we dont live too far from you. We are
from Dayton, I said.
Is that town still alive? he asked. We used to beat
them at baseball.
This guy is a character, Im thinking. He really had
a good sense of humor, he liked to tell stories, and he
enjoyed conversation.
We met some people from Gowrie last year, I mentioned. Do you know Dale and Kay Miller?
Yes I do, he declared. Kay is a good friend of my
sister, Sharon Carlson who lives in Gowrie. Sharon is
even wilder that I am, he smiled.
Als real first name is Elwood. In high school if
someone had a situation that wasnt too serious, and perhaps needed a little humor, they would say: Go to El.
And then you could see a twinkle in his eye.
Early in life Al attended seminary and was thinking
about a ministerial career. But it wasnt for me, he said.
Im so glad about what I proceeded to do.
Al got his undergraduate degree and then proceeded
to get his Masters in mental health. In the early fifties
mental health was in its infancy, he stated.
He moved to Idaho and established a career of mental health diagnosis and psychiatry.. He traveled in small
planes, going from one small town to another. He would
often meet people in churches or schools, or whatever
meeting place could be arranged.
He lived in various cities, including Boise. But
his mental health work was always conducted via small
plane travel.
Al remembers working at a lumber yard in Gowrie.
He also recalls teaching kids to spin their car tires just
right out in the country on gravel roads.
There werent any blacktop highways back then,
he said. Some main highways like 169 were blacktop,
but there were many hard surface roads.
Al has a home in Dreamland Villa and he has a summer place in Show Low, in the high country on the east
side of the valley. He really seems to enjoy life.
He mentioned that he has several relatives in the
Gowrie area and he tries to come back to his home town
every two years.

Harcourt flouride levels

remain high; signs installed
The City of Harcourt is waiting on results from the

water samples sent in, hoping the flouride levels will go
down enough so they can stop sending the high flouride
notices.
The pipes at the water plant are going to be fixed by
Bergman Plumbing.
The new jake brake signs have been installed on
Highway175.
The utilities spent on the Community Center are a
concern since the building only receives $5,560 and
$4,896 is the utility expense.
There was no report from the Park and Rec or 911
and Ambulance.
In regards to Emergency Management, the resignation of Tony Jorgensen was discussed and what was
planned to fill the vacancy. There was very little change
in the budget so the numbers from last year are being
used again.
The attorney had prepared a lease for the ball diamond to the school, changes are being made and then the
school will be going over the revised contract.
A E911 increase was discussed, dollar amounts and
explanations. The increase is probably out of the Councils hands, so a plan is needed to adjust for the increase
in the budget.

Support given for school tax levy proposal

at Praire Valley public forum Jan. 21
Some negative comments on Callendar School closing. . .
By Jill Viles
Public input regarding the Physical Plant and

Equipment Levy was welcomed in advance of the January 21 Prairie Valley School Board meeting. Voters of
the district will decide on February 3 if a property tax
increase and/or an income tax increase is warranted. Approximately fifteen citizens arrived ready to pose questions and concerns regarding the proposed levy.
Lisa Willardson, business manager for the
district, opened the question and answer period by addressing a question often posed to school officials: If
the school has sufficient funds coming in each year, why
does the district need to occasionally ask for an alternative source of funding?
Willardson went on to explain that only certain
things may be purchased from the general fund, for example, teacher salaries and textbooks. The general fund
may allow a district to purchase a school bus; however,
a replacement motor may not be purchased with these
funds. In the same line of thinking, a school may use
certain funds to pay for solar lights, but must secure alternative funding to pay the light bill.

Currently, the Prairie Valley School District has
a 33 cents per $1,000 of property valuation. On Feb. 3
voters will be asked to approve a $1 per $1,000 property
valuation. A school district may ask for an increase in
this funding through the implementation of a tax levy;
however, passage requires 50% +1 approval from the voters. Typically a levy is passed for a ten year period. The
Prairie Valley School District has approved previous tax
levies, but it has been so many years, the exact date was
not readily identified at the meeting.
It was the consensus of the board and persons attending the meeting that the last levy expired

donations, supporters
Submitted by Diane Esperson, Treasurer. . .
In January 2013, we opened the Dayton Food Pantry to those in need of emergency food help living in the
SEW-Grand school district, which includes Boxholm,
Burnside, Dayton, Harcourt, Lehigh and Pilot Mound.

Last year started off slow, but as more people
learned that it was for more than just Dayton, the usage
increased as the year progressed.
This 2014 year, we served 62 families at least one or
more months during the year, with the monthly average
being 19 families. We are open on the third Saturday of
each month from 10:00 12:00 noon. The participant
receives a shopping list as a guide to the various things
they can pick from and how many. They also receive a
voucher to the Dayton Community Grocery for things
such as milk, eggs, bread, margarine, meat and fresh produce.
With more families using our service, we have a
greater need for donations as the shelves get pretty well
emptied out each month, but I'm proud to say that people
from the area have really stepped up and met the need...
especially this Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Anyone wishing to donate food may
leave it at the Emanuel Lutheran Church or in the green
container by the door at the Dayton Community Grocery.
Any monetary donations can be given or sent to Diane
Esperson, 504 2nd St. NE #801, Dayton, IA 50530.
We are very fortunate to have so many individuals
and organizations that have donated to this worthy cause.
Thank You to each and every one of you!!!!
approximately 20 years ago. Additionally, it was clarified that a $2.40 bond issue was passed approximately 20
years ago as the previous levy expired; however, it was
noted the district cannot pass a bond issue and a Physical
Plant and Equipment Levy at the same time.

Superintendent Lois Irwin clarified the four positions those concerned with the future of the Prairie Valley School District infrastructure may assume:

1. The district can do nothing.

2. The district can maintain existing buildings.

3. The district can remodel existing buildings.

4. The district can rebuild existing buildings.
Irwin did not identify any one of these choices
as the preferred option for the district. Its the community that makes the decision, emphasized Irwin.

As voters take to the polls on February 3rd, the
district wants to remind voters there are three general
aims for the proposed tax levy increase:

1. Improve student centered technology;

2. Building and grounds improvement;

3. Improve transportation fleet;

There were two attempted kidnappings in Gowrie and Dayton on Sunday, Sept. 28.
The failed abduction in Gowrie was at Brockett Park,
located on the south side of the towns business district
and reported at 2:50 p.m. The girl was 12 to 13 years old.
She got away, running across the alley north to the businesses.

An unconfirmed local source reported the girl
being cut from the attempt.
Sheriff James Stubbs told local news station
KCCI someone with a ski mask approached her from the
bushes and as she ran she saw an older, white vehicle with
rust, a van, SUV or truck in the alley.

In Dayton, the kidnapping attempt was reported
at 5:09 p.m. by a girl five to six years old riding her bike
by 3rd St. NE and 5th Ave. NE. The Grandview Care
Center is located in that block. The man was reported following the girl on foot.

In both attempts a man wearing a black ski mask
with the same vehicle description was reported.
Brockett Park in Gowrie is a very popular park
where Soccer is played along with Little League sports.
The north boundary of the park is lined with bushes making it impossible to see it. The day care right by the alley
also utilizes the park.

The 13 year old girl who was a potential kidnapping victim Sunday in Gowrie went to school Monday as
usual and according to local sources she walked with a
group of her friends.

There was a report of a kindergarten student not
attending Monday due to Sundays incident. There was
a field trip planned for the kindergartners that stayed on
schedule.
We need the publics help to solve these incidents. Gowrie and Dayton are 12 miles apart and are on
Highway 175. If anyone was in the area of either incident
and saw a white van, truck or SUV or something out of
place please call the Dayton Police Department 515-5472624.Gowrie Police Department 515-352-3800 or the

What a difference 140 years can make!
The January 14th article in The Review about the

old school ledgers showing the salaries of teachers in the
Dayton School, 1887-1892 caught my eye and interest. In
these modern times and inflation pricing it is hard for us
to imagine. It took me back to the Little House books
as schooling was featured in those writings both when
the Ingalls children were in school and then when Laura
became a school marm. It is my understanding that the
teaching and learning emphasis was on, as the old song
states, readin, writin and rithmetic. I believe those
subjects were taught to the tune of a hickory (or reasonable facsimile) stick.

I noticed that there was mentioned that in 1873
there would be four months of school beginning December, 1873 and taught by a Mr. E.A.C. for $40.00 a
month. Was that because this was a rural area and farming, the planting through harvest, took precedence over
book learnin ? I know it was few in the more rural
areas who had the privilege of a high school education in
the 1880s. The main purpose of school was to learn to
read, write and cypher well enough to handle the business of farming or other businesses. I remember Dad telling his graduating class (l922) included a girl who was
almost twenty. She came from somewhere in the North
Central Iowa area where there was still no high school
but she had a relative living in the St. Charles area with
whom she could live and attend school and she took advantage of it.
I wasnt too surprised to see that the salaries
were quite low (as we currently think) and that they could
make all of $1.75 more a month if they did their own
janitoring. Another thing I would like to know is how
large the school building was back in 1873 and how many
grades (if designated as lst, 2nd, etc.) there were. I did
do some research and learned that the salaries mentioned
were quite the norm for the times and rural areas of the
Midwestern states. My research also informed me that
many of the teachers of the era had to find lodging and
board and that there was little left for their own pockets after paying for them each month. They, especially
women, might also be expected to help with the household chores. It must have been a tiring occupation. I assume that doing their own janitoring included bringing
in the wood for the stoves in the winter and cleaning out
the ashes and disposing of them. Were there some kindly
older boys trying to gain teachers favor who may have
done this for her?
I checked back on the real Laura Ingalls, not
the TV version, and learned that she began her teaching
career at the age of 16. She was a smart girl and had probably completed all that was offered in her own school so
she was prepared to teach others. Because boys lost out

on so much schooling due to their family farm obligations, some of her students may have been as old as she
was. Education and the tools for it have sure come a long
way since those pioneering days. Even since my school
time it is amazing the progress in what can be taught and
learned and the implements for the teaching are almost
unbelievable. When I was in high school to teach in the
elementary grades one only had to have a two year college education degree, thus one of the teachers, cant remember her name, related more to us in high school than
to her fellow teachers. In the mid-1940s we were still
pretty much antiquated, using the L.C. Smith typewriters that were pre-war way pre-war, but we learned to
use a keyboard and that knowledge has enabled some of
us from that era to use a computer, even if not to its full
capacity.
It was those World Ward II years and the doing without things on the home front that started some
of the modern progress though. Many things were created for the war effort and adapted for civilian use upon
wars end and the development of technology has been
going at a fast pace. Children who can barely talk can
use an I phone and play computer and other electronic
games quite proficiently. All the technology has enabled
many occupations to require fewer people to do bigger
jobs --- even farmers, especially farmers. Because of that
farms have gotten bigger and bigger, machinery bigger
and bigger and capable of handling acreage that it took
many human hands, arms, legs and backs to do. Thus
the rural populations diminished, taking the little school
enrollments down. To keep operating, the schools had
to combine, closing buildings and more technology and
more school combining etc. etc. etc. That scenario has
been repeated and repeated as we all know.

The Des Moines Register has been running a series about the closing of rural schools and the impact it
has had on the populace around them. There was also a
mention of their continuing to follow the saga of the new
Prairie Valley school district, now including Gowrie. This
resulted in the closing of the Boxholm building which
had been hosting only two grades but with great tools at
their disposal. We graduates of the Boxholm Consolidated School and Grand Community systems, particularly,
have been having our moments of nostalgia over that. In
the Register was also an article from a fellow who had attended the Jordan-Napier school with his remembrance.
We wonder, all over Iowa and probably other states too,
what will become of our beloved buildings. Some have
already been demolished or sit rotting away. Is all we are
going to have left are memories and nostalgia?

Tax Levy...
Senior Series...
Retired Callender Farmer was on forefront of farming

with chemicals, soybeans; served on school boards Cofounder of Webster County Soy Bean Association...
By Cassidy Riley
The terms farmer and celebrity are rarely used
to describe one person. However, in the case of Garland
Hanson, 91, of Callendar the two words come together in
an unexpected way.
In 1972 Hanson was named Master Farmer by Wallaces Farmer and even graced the cover of the agriculture
magazine in the March 11, 1972 issue. He was also featured in Successful Farming and the New York Times that
same year.

Hanson attributes his media attention to innovative work he did with new herbicides and pesticides.

We were some of the first ones to use certain
chemicals, he said.

He said on his farm, which was at that time nearly 2,000 acres, including land he owned and rented, he set
aside trial plots to test new chemicals provided by Dow
Chemical Company, such as Treflan.

We had a lot of weed problems in those days,
he said, adding pesticides and herbicides were very new
at the time.

In the Successful Farming article hes quoted as
saying as far as Im concerned, theres no reason to have
any weed problems, because of available chemicals.
The article in the New York Times in 72 primarily focused on his work with soybeans. According to
the article, soybeans were the new wonder crop of the
time period and were in high demand. A graphic printed
in the paper shows the crop was worth nearly $1.4 billion in exports. Hanson was one of the co-founders of the
Webster County Soybean Association.
That was the beginning of soybeans, Hanson
said. The first soybeans were used for livestock feed.
Then we developed the soybean as a commercial product.
Next to Hansons innovative farming, his wife
Betty Hanson attributes some of his fame to his community involvement.

He was a hard worker and he was a great community worker, she said.
Hanson served on the Callendar School Board
for 14 years, Iowa Central Community College Board for
28 years, and he represented Iowa in the American Lutheran Church Council for eight years, among many other
things.
Garland Hanson also gave some of his time up
to the United States Navy during World War II. When the
U.S. declared war on Japan in December 1941 he was
working at an airplane manufacturing plant in California.
He and some friends joined the army immediately.
I didnt have any qualms at all, he said. We
took for granted that it was our obligation.
Shortly after enlisting in the army he returned
home to Iowa and met a recruiter for the Navy who convinced him to switch branches.

They sent me to school in the service, he said.

He studied metal working at trade school in Chicago for six weeks before being sent to service pilots at a
base in Rhode Island. Before he was discharged in 1946
Hansons military career took him up and down the east
coast and to a naval base in Puerto Rico where he serviced planes patrolling for enemy submarines along the
coast.
After his military service, Hanson hitchhiked
home to Callendar from Minneapolis. Along the way he
ran into Elvina Schmadeke, a neighbor in Callender.
Garland Hanson and Betty Hanson
She picked me up and hauled me home, he

said.
A few years after he returned home he married
his high school sweetheart Betty Hanson. She and Garland Hanson grew up going to church together and she
was friends with his sister Goldie Hanson. When Garland
Hanson was a senior in high school she was a freshman.

The most important thing that we did with our
lives back then was Friday night [roller skating] at the
Rolland Township Farm Bureau Clubhouse, she said.
Garland Hanson said he had other girlfriends
over the years before marrying Betty Hanson.
But, [I] still came
back to the same one, he
said.
Together they had
three boys, two of whom

involves the former ICN room, now described as Polycom technology. Currently the district offers psychology,
sociology, and Spanish using this medium.

According to principal Jim Henrich, 20 students
are typically enrolled in each course. The district has
been approached by representatives from Iowa Central
Community College who would like to see an increase
in the number of course offerings. However, this would
require technology upgrades to be initiated by the district.
Willardson emphasized the problems faced by
the district. Current technology is ever-changing. What
worked well two years ago may be out of date this school
year. Additionally, it was noted that cell phone usage in
the building serves to tax the network.
Board member, Jim Carlson, expressed support
of the levy. If we do not need to spend the money, we
can save it. Its not use or lose money, he explained.
Additionally, the board may decide they are not going
to assess the levy in a particularly vulnerable year. For
example, if land values drop significantly in the next ten
years, the board may vote not to tax the land for fear this
is too great a burden for local farmers.
There was some discussion as to whether the
tax levy should originate solely from property taxes.
An alternative arrangement involves assessing 20 cents
of the dollar requested from income taxes. It was noted
that those who do not own property, i.e. those that rent
apartments, would be contributing to a proposed tax levy.
Some in attendance felt this arrangement would serve to
spread the cost of the levy more fairly across the community.

Board member, Heidi Mc Guire, also expressed
support for the levy. Were going to have small fires all
the time, she explained. For example, the elevator in
the high school went out unexpectedly. We have to be
prepared for unavoidable circumstances like this.
Dennis Tucker, former Prairie Valley principal,
agrees. We have to keep our facilities up to date, or we
will find our students sent elsewhere to school.

Mayor, David Stokesbary, concurs. If you have
a school in your city, this influences property values in
a positive manner. Additionally, Stokesbary expressed
concern that not enough funds are directed toward the
Arts. It was noted, he would love to see a theater at the
high school. Arts develops students as much or more
than athletics, he passionately espoused. We need to
make the arts something special.
Business Manager, Lisa Willardson, suggested
the nuts and bolts of the district are just as essential.
Buses are a necessity. Our buses must be rotated continuously. We lease the buses, and our lease comes up for
renewal every three years.

As the discussion moved toward input from the
public, concerns were raised. Many in attendance express
lingering hurt and resentment over the closure of the Callender building. In particular, the giving away of the
building, rather than a sale of the building, was an issue of
contention. One citizen was deeply concerned that bids
as high as $16,000 were dismissed, and that these funds
could have been used by the district. Board member,
Shannon Miller, explained the district was wary of an out
of state enterprise and didnt want to see a business failure
by an unfamiliar party result in deterioration of the building and property.

This sentiment was affirmed by several other
citizens in attendance. The reason people arent going
to vote for the PPEL is because people are left with a bad
taste in their mouths regarding the money wasted in the
closure of the Callender building, said one concern person.

You dont have good accountability as a board,
exclaimed another. Now youre asking us to pay more.

Shannon Miller expressed support in the face of
the angry sentiment. Were always looking for advice
from the public.

Garland Hanson drives a team of horses in 1928.
That was about the biggest thrill we had, he

said. Hed just holler at us.
Garland Hanson said he applauds most of the
technical advancements hes seen in his lifetime, such as
reliable motor vehicles, but he worries about its possible
misuse.

Its just been tremendous. I really enjoy it, he
said. The more advancement the better it is. [But] I dont
like seeing little kids with a cell phone or a game and
[they] sit and play a game all day long.
In his retirement Garland Hanson said he is
thankful for the wonderful life hes had among his
friends and family. Despite his surge of fame in the early
70s he said he considers himself a simple man who still
appreciates the simple forms of entertainment.

Theres nothing better than to watch half a dozen birds in the bathtub at one time, he said.

Prairie Valley School Board discusses

computer upgrades, new gym heater
Whole grade sharing affects enrollment numbers. . .
By Jill Viles

The Jan. 21 Prairie Valley School Board meeting
initiated with a discussion of upgrades needed to meet the
high demand for technology enhanced education in the
classroom. The district wants to continue providing a laptop for students and staff, but expressed concern the computers need to be replaced soon as technological changes
require upgrading on a regular basis.

Currently, high school students receive their own
personal computer, but laptops also need to be upgraded
at PV elementary as well. Its estimated it will cost the
district $47,000 to replace existing laptops. It was proposed the district could purchase half of the computers
this year, and add replacement costs for the other half of
computers to the next fiscal year.
Sean Blunk, PV physical education instructor,
submitted information regarding upgrades required for
the weight room. The PE department is seeking $6,500
in funds for cardiovascular equipment. Additionally, they
have been offered a donation of dumbbells from the Norwalk School District.
High school principal Jim Henrich stated the
room is used by students and 6-10 members of the public
as well. He added that the treadmills are becoming worn
out and a couple of them need to be taken out at this point.

Additionally, the heater in the practice gym went
out in mid-December. It has been discovered the unit
needs a new coil. According to principal Henrich, the
heater has been patched together to last the winter season. Essentially, the heater is functioning at half capacity,
but will need to be placed.

The district has received a bid of $11,856 to service the heater.
At this point in the meeting, high school student, Hannah Peterson, discussed the updated uniforms
requested by band members. The Southeast Webster
Grand School District will pass one-third of the cost of
the uniforms, as will the booster club, comprised mainly
of parents of students in band.

The Prairie Valley School District has been
asked to pick up the remaining third of the uniforms, and
this proposal was unanimously approved. In total, the
cost of the uniforms is $14,300. PV high school student
Hannah Peterson brought sample garments and it was
the consensus those in the attendance, the uniforms were
stunning.

Band members have entertained bids from three
manufacturers, and have agreed to the mid-price bid.
They are going to keep using their pants, but it was noted
if the pants are ever damaged, they can be sent back for
a replacement at no charge. The new garments will take
six
months to arrive once they are ordered. Currently,
the band has 70 members, but they would like to order
a few more uniforms for those planning to update in the
coming year(s).
Discussion was held regarding the Good Conduct Policy. This topic is especially important as the districts are grade sharing and want to make sure everyone
is on board with the expectations of the new arrangement. There will be a shared meeting with both districts
to iron out the details of the policy and eliminate gray
areas.
In addition, the grade sharing arrangement has
altered the way students are counted among the districts
and this has led to changing statistics in terms of how
open enrollment students are counted.

The count becomes confusing as a student may
have been an open enrollment student in last years count
as they attended middle school in Gowrie, but that same
student must be counted as a return to Southeast Webster
Grands count as they now attend school in Burnside.

This creates changes in revenue provided to the
respective districts as funds must be allocated to the district in which the student currently attends school. The

Moved by Leffler, seconded by Campbell to adopt the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the Iowa Association of County Supervisors recognizes
that a high quality transportation system serves as the artery for economic
activity and that the condition of the infrastructure in the State of Iowa is a
key element for our future economic growth; and
WHEREAS, an integral part of the State of Iowas Road Use Tax
Fund (RUTF) is the fuel tax, which has not been significantly increased
since 1989, while maintenance and construction costs have more than
doubled during that same timeframe; and
WHEREAS, there have been several state-wide studies completed
over the past 10 years identifying the requirement to significantly increase
the amount of funding for the administration, maintenance and improvements to our state-wide public roadway system, including the 2006 Road
Use Tax Fund (RUTF) study, the 2011 Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) study
completed per 2011 Iowa Code Section 307.31, and the 2011 Governors
Transportation 2020 Citizen Advisory Commission (CAC) created by Governor Branstad; and
WHEREAS, the 2008 TIME-21 study documented the fact that under
todays funding structure and highway usage, over 20% of the travel done
in Iowa is by out-of-state drivers while only 13% of the states road use
revenues come from out of state drivers; and
WHEREAS, the funding provided by the implementation of the TIME21 Fund in 2009 is inadequate to meet the critical maintenance
and improvements needs for the State of Iowas transportation system; and
WHEREAS, 95% of Road Use Tax Fund revenues are required by
the Iowa Constitution to be spent only on our roadways; and
WHEREAS, due to the severe shortage in state funding to meet the
critical needs of our roadway system, several Iowa counties have had to
resort to issuing millions of dollars of bonds to pay for their most critical
maintenance needs, which will have to be paid off through property taxes;
and
WHEREAS, Webster County has issued $0.00 in bonds to pay for
our most critical roadway and bridge needs; and
WHEREAS, the 2011 Governors Transportation 2020 citizen Advisory Council report to Governor Branstad and the Iowa Legislature identified the need for at least $215 million per year of increased funding over
the next 20 years, in addition to the funding being provided by the TIME-21
revenues, just to meet the most critical needs of our transportation infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the Iowa Good Roads Association, the Iowa County
Engineers Association, and numerous business related associations
throughout Iowa have publically supported the call for increased RUTF
funding;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Iowa State Association of County Supervisors and the Webster County Board of Supervisors
strongly encourages the implementation a long-term, sustainable transportation funding solution to address the critical needs of our infrastructure
system.

1. Provide adequate state-wide funding to offset the projected
shortfall for our most critical needs of over $215 million annually through
an increase of the motor fuel tax revenues.

2. Enable the Iowa Department of Transportation to provide
primary highway funds to counties and cities in lieu of federal funds, providing increased efficiencies for state and local governments.

3. Increase the permit fee for oversize/overweight vehicles.

4. New funding should be distributed consistent with the Road
Use Tax Fund distribution formula.
And, BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that the Iowa State Association of
County Supervisors and the Webster County Board of Supervisors support
the ongoing evaluation of creative, supplemental solutions to increased
RUTF funding.
Resolved this 13th day of January, 2015 at Fort Dodge, Iowa.

Your Right to Know

City of Harcourt
Swing and miss

"When pride cometh, then cometh shame, but
with the lowly is wisdom." Proverbs 11:2
Do you remember playing softball in grade
school? When it was our turn to bat, we walked to home
plate full of confidence. Then the pitcher would toss the
ball, and with a triumphant swing, we just knew that it
was a home run. Instead, we missed the ball and all of a
sudden, we were on the verge of striking out.
We may not play softball anymore, but I think
this is something we all do (well, most of us anyway). We
march proudly to the home plate (our daily lives), thinking we will hit it over the fence, but in fact, the opposite
happens. What causes our downfall?

The word is found in the Scripture at the beginning of the article. Pride! We all become a little bit conceited, or a little bit over confident, and then we start to
boast about who we are and what we are doing for the
Lord. We start calling for "home runs" before we even
hit the ball, and then we expect to be treated special, like
a super star. (Proverbs 18:12) Most importantly, we forget the reason we have hit "home runs" in our life before
(Proverbs 22:4) We forget that everything we have, and
everything great we can do, is from God.(Psalm 18:32)

It's always interesting to see how much we rely
on God when we are on our knees, but how much we rely
on ourselves once He helps us get back on our feet. I
find it interesting that when we start relying on ourselves,
that's when we find ourselves back on our knees searching for God's grace.
What accomplishments have you had in your
life? What things are you good at? And are you trying
to get other people to notice what you can do, or are you
thanking God for what He has given you the ability to do?
Until next week...take a good look at your life
this week and determine whether the abilities you have
are your treasure, or is the God who has given them to
you the treasure?

T,

issue is rather complicated, but essentially the changes
resulted in a loss of -2 for Prairie Valleys count. It was
discussed that nine students from the PV district open
enroll to Fort Dodge, mainly to accommodate a parent
that works in Fort Dodge.
Board member, Shannon Miller, emphasized
the confusion related to the open enrollment program
upon the adoption of grade sharing. We were advised
money would not be changing hands through grade sharing.
A shared meeting between the Prairie Valley
and Southeast Webster Grand districts is scheduled for
February 25th from 5:30-8:30 P.M. at a location yet to
be determined. Superintendent Lois Irwin explained the
districts would like a chance to go over the goals the districts share in common. In addition, it has been approved
the districts join the Rural School Advocates program for
a total of $1,400. It is hoped each district will contribute
half the funds to this total.

Lastly, the fate of the ICN room (now described
as Polycom technology) was discussed. It has been proposed that more courses should be offered in this room,
and PV board member, Heidi McGuire, suggested students should be surveyed according to which course they
would like to see offered.

However, it was noted there are several impediments to this idea. For example, Iowa Central Community College typically assigns the courses based on popularity. Also, it is extremely difficult to accommodate
students schedule to line up with these telecommunications courses.

Upgrades to the current system would allow students to see everyone in an off campus classroom, as the
current system does not allow a panoramic view of additional classrooms in the network. On the negative side,
enhanced technology upgrades may require this
