Farmers
Market
a big hit
BY ZACH CLEMENS
The Sheffield Area Farmer’s Market has become a big hit among Sheffield residents and vendors alike.
For the past few Mondays, Sheffield has held a Farmers Market
during the evenings from 5-7 p.m.
Its been growing since it started.
Scott Mitchell, a vendor out of Allison, said this was his second Monday at the Sheffield Area Farmer’s
Market and he has loved it.
“The folks here are great and hilarious, we have been having a great
time,” Mitchell said.
He was selling homemade baked
goods, and said they have done
pretty well so far this year. Farmers
Markets are important to people like
Mitchell and helps him make ends
meet.
“This is how we are making our
living [by selling at Farmers Markets],” Mitchell said.
The new Farmer ’s Market sign for Sheffield was sponsored by
Jaspersen
Insurance. ZACH CLEMENS PHOTO

The Sheffield Public Library will
be getting a new look when it comes
to the landscaping outside the structure.
In August, Sheffield residents
will see MR Landscaping, based out
of Sheffield, rework the entire circumference of the library. There will
be new plants put in, but the company will also save some flowers that
were planted by children visiting the
library.
“We are really excited to get this
done,” said library director Jill Peterson. “[MR Landscaping] had a
really great idea for out behind the
library.”
In previous summers, kids in
the summer reading program planted perennials in the back, and MR
Landscaping came up with the idea
of a “learning garden.” They will
create a nice cedar mulch edging
and replant the perennials, but allow
for more planting by the children for
years to come.
The library had funds left over
from last year and with contributions
from the library foundation, the library has the money to pay for all the
landscaping, which will be around
$7,300 Peterson said.
So keep a watch to see the new
landscape at the library.

AUGUST 7, 1986
The Sheffield-Chapin Spartans
played No. 9 rated Hubbard in a 1A first
round District game here at Sheffield and
lost 8-7. The loss ended Sheffield-Chapin’s season for 1986. S-C finished with
a fine record of 17-6. Unfortunately on
this evening, a victory for the Spartans
was not meant to be. S-C out-hit Hubbard 8-6. S-C had six runs that were
earned while Hubbard earned only three.
It was too bad that the Spartans had to
end their season in a game where they
outplayed a good Hubbard team, and yet
they did not play well. Hubbard picked
up an unearned run in the first but S-C
scored four in the bottom of the second.
Dave Meints started things in the second when he reached via an error. One
out later, Eric Luecht executed a perfect
slug bunt that drove in that drove in Dave
Meints to knot the score at 1-1. Pat Nuehring then reached second when his fly
ball was mishandled by the right fielder.
Joe Heimer then delivered a clutch two
RBI single to center to score Luecht and
Nuehring. After an out and a Mike Nolte
walk, Jim Noss drove Heimer home with
an RBI single. Hubbard scored three in
the third to tie the score at 4-4 but S-C
got two more runs in the bottom of the
fourth to regain the lead. Mike Nolte
and Jim Noss both walked. A single by
Steve Foss loaded the bases. A clutch,
two out single to right by Brad Renberg
drove home Nolte and Noss to give S-C
a 6-4 lead after four. Hubbard picked
up an unearned run in the fifth and S-C
got one run in the sixth. The Spartans
scored when Jim Noss reached first on
a fielder’s choice. Steve Foss then drove
home Noss with an RBI single to center. Hubbard rallied for three runs in the
top of the seventh to take the lead 8-7.
S-C tried to rally in the bottom half of the
seventh. Walks to Joe heimer and Mike
Nolte put ruunners on first and third, but
that’s where they were stranded. Final,
Hubbard 8, S-C 7. Dave Heimer suffered
the pitching loss. He allowed only six
hits and struck out ten, but he was his
own worst enemy at times because he
walked seven batters. Spartan Highlights
– Steve Foss, two singles, one RBI; Brad

The Sheffield-Chapin Spartanettes,
a mere game away from a state tourney trip, let it slip through their fingers
at the hands of the 13th ranked team
in the state, Hubbard, 5-4 in nine tough
innings. The game started on a dark
note as Hubbard jumped out 2-0 after
their first trip to the plate and then shut
down S-C until the fifth inning when the
locals erupted for three runs off doubles
by April Meyer, Diane Dohlman,Cheryl
Smit and Kim Nalan with Denise Harper
adding a single that phrase, a total volcano. However, Hubbard bounced right
back in the bottom of their half to knot
the score 3-3. Neither team scored in
the sixth. Top of the seventh found S-C
pushing one run across after Cheryl Smit
pounded a nice long triple and scored
when Denise Harper slammed a shot to
the shortstop to drive home Smit. But,
once again, Hubbard bounced back to tie
it 4-4 in the bottom of the seventh, then
the game went scoreless until the bottom of the ninth when Hubbard recorded
the biggest run of the year against S-C
to earn the state tourney berth, It was a
real tear jerker for the Spartanettes who
had fought so hard down the tourney
trail only to see their vision of the big trip
wiped out. A game that will certainly remain with them all for a long time.

and a big 4 run 3rd ended their scoring.
The local nine pushed 4 in the 6th but
fell short to end their 27-9 season. Jill
Slagle picked up the loss as she gave up
7 hits, struck out 2 batters and walked 2.
West Marshall moved on to state tourney
action with a 31-8 record. The season
was filled with many exciting moments,
a Conference Co-Championship, a Conference Tournament Championship and
a race to the state tourney fell one short.
Many good teams were sidelined during
the tourney pursuit and the Lady Spartans can be proud of their accomplishments this season.
Dale Saylor of New York was a guest

Hello from Taiwan
• Local shares experiences and
differences about living over seas
Hello! My name is Cody Arndt, and wow you would not believe how
many times I tried to think of a clever way to introduce myself for this article.
As it turns out, surprise! this is the best I could come up with.
A few months ago I was hired to be an English teacher, basketball coach
and dorm parent at Ivy Collegiate Academy in Taichung, Taiwan. After hearing how crazy of an idea it was from family, friends and well, everyone I
ever mentioned it to, I decided people may find the
differences between life here in Taiwan and small
town Iowa (hopefully) interesting to read about.
The Press was generous enough to provide me
the opportunity to write an article every now and
then to tell readers about the differences not only
between my school and American schools, but
about the cultural and societal differences that I
see as well.
I grew up in Sheffield and attended the University of Northern Iowa, so moving to a city with
millions of people and not being able to speak the
common language has been both very new and
Arndt
very exciting to experience.
The school where I am teaching is a boarding
school This means students, in seventh to twelfth grades, from Taiwan, China, Japan and South Korea live at the school in dorms while school is in session. This also means that there has to be someone around to monitor an entire
floor of middle school boys (me!), because just like middle school boys in
America, if you leave them alone with each other for more than 10 minutes,
there will undoubtedly be something broken or there will be absolute chaos
or the school may burst into flames.
All of the students attending the school are from Asia, so they all come
to the school with English as their second language, which brings a much
different element to both the classroom as well as everyday interactions with
students. Becoming good at charades is pretty easy when it is your only way
to get a point across.
From my experience thus far, Taiwan has been an extremely nice place,
full of helpful people, fun and inquisitive students, delicious food and an absurd amount of neon signs that I cannot read. I can’t wait to experience more
of it and have a chance to share what I see!
Pictures of my experience can be seen on Instagram@_mrarndt.

While the General and I were
away the boys did play under the
tutelage of the old Mow-Reen Dick
Brown. I believe he berated the
troops like he was in boot camp,
“Men suck those flabby tummies in,
throw out that sunken chest, cinch
up that belt, gig line, and snap to.”
Well that’s what I was told and the
truth lieth within the boundaries
of this article. Darryl (little DeanO) Peter, Nellie Nels Nelson and
Du=Du Duane Dorenkamp fired a
solid 67 for top honors. They each
will receive a life time membership
in the Frontalback Golf Academy
in Parbirdsville if they can find it.
The second place team of Steveeee
Boy Heeren (I saw one at the lake)
David nun-other than a Levitt type,
Bobert Bobsy Shreckengost and We
Willy Billiam Nolte and they struggled and struggled and struggled to
fire a 69. Word has it Shreck forgot
his putter, Billy Boy forgot his driver, Levitty forgot his chipper and
thank goodness Steveee Boy had it
all together. The third place squad
and into the money was Don-Don
DonaldO Greimann, My-ick Paine
and Kimski Wills and they shot a
70. Oh goodness if they only would
have used a few foot wedges they
could have won. However folks with
past Kim in their group they were
straight laced for a change. They
won free tickets to the Hoe Down on
the Farm in Hackabackville, Maine
in January.
The four th place squad was
made up of Dally-Dall-Dall Slagle,
DeeeeenO DeanO Peter and Do-Do
Duane Payne and they fired 72. Oh
they were close to being in the money but Duane missed a 45 foot putt,
Slags hit three out of bounds, and
DeanO hit one straight where he was
pointing and it ended up in Carol Luecht’s front yard. Fifth place and in
the money was the team of Ten-Hut
left/right Dick Brown, Barn-Barn
Doortee and RonaldO Ron-Ron
Siems. They mustered up a sour 76,
yup and that wasn’t even last place
so they were pretty cocky about their
play. Can you imagine???? Okay
then along sometime later came
Denner DenO Dennis Phillips, RogOOOOO Rogher Rog Madsen and
old lug along Larrrrrr Larrrrr Lockwood and they shot 77. Now that
seems almost impossible but they
are living proof it is possible. It did
tarnish their simulacrum but they
will be back.
As I am totally worn out from an
intense, demanding week at the Lake
of the Ozarks I can barely finish this
article thus as the sun sets so does
my itsy-bitsy brain. Dave Levitt told
me he got hit in the head with a soda
and he was lucky it was a soft drink.
Slagle told me he couldn’t understand why he got fired from the calendar factory because all he did was
take a day off. Finally Dick Brown
told me if procrastination was an
Olympic sport he would compete in
it LATER! Bazinga just whopped
me on the head thus ouch!
Conventional wisdom
AGE OF
THE GEEK
Travis
Fischer
So let’s recap the last few weeks.
Michelle Obama gave a critically acclaimed speech at the Republican National Convention. Ted Cruz
became a hero to Democrats. And
Hillary Clinton proved to women everywhere that if you marry into politics and spend decades building an
extensive career, you can one day be
considered a worthy opponent for a
billionaire reality TV star who stumbled his way into a national election
and can’t seem to figure out how to
get out of it.
How long was I on vacation?
To nobody’s surprise, Hillary
Clinton became the Democratic
nominee for President at their national convention.
Clinton is by no means the first
woman to win a nomination for president. In fact, she’s won’t even be the
only woman to win a nomination for
this particular election. That said,
yes, Hillary Clinton is the first female nominee that has a realistic shot
of winning the presidency. In spite of
her own best efforts to the contrary.
Which is not to say that Clinton
isn’t trying very hard to win the
White House. That’s kind of her
problem. Her decades of preparation to be president has stripped
her of any likability she might have
had. She is a ruthless power player
and, like Darth Vader, the more she
squeezes, the more supporters slip
through her fingers.
From the start of the primary, Bernie Sanders supporters operated under the assumption that the deck was
stacked against them. That the power
brokers within the Democratic Party
had already decided who the nominee
was going to be and the popular vote
wouldn’t really matter. It turns out
they might have been right.
Once again, Clinton has an e-mail
problem. And this time the e-mails
aren’t even hers.
Shortly before the Democratic
National Convention leaked e-mails
revealed that the DNC had been
less than neutral when it came to the
primary race between Clinton and
Sanders. With Sanders running so
closely behind Clinton in the hotly
contested primary, it really makes
one wonder if he might have eked out
a win under different circumstances.
There doesn’t appear to be any
evidence that Clinton and the DNC
actively conspired against Sanders, or even that the DNC’s snarky
e-mails actually led to anything of
consequence, but the whole kerfuffle has done little to endear her to the
“Bernie or Bust” supporters she now
has to court.
To add insult to injury, disgraced
former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz now has an honorary
position on the Clinton campaign,
which looks all manner of suspicious.
To be fair, it’s not like Sanders
was completely shut out. He knew
his campaign was a long shot. His
persistence was never about winning
the nomination, but about leveraging
his popularity to influence the party
platform, which he did.
That said, it’s clear that the DNC
wasn’t running the primary the way
it should have been and they’ve put
a dampener on one of the most energetic political movements in living
memory.
But while the Democratic Party
needs some serious house cleaning,
the Republican Party has all but collapsed on itself.
In stark contrast to the DNC
bending over backwards to secure
Clinton’s nomination, the party behind Donald Trump now spends the
bulk of their time trying to figure out
how to support him while distancing
themselves from everything he does.
The mental gymnastics that Paul
Ryan has to perform to reject Trump’s
statements while holding him up
as the standard bearer for his party
should earn him a gold medal in Rio.
Ted Cruz famously said voters
should “vote their conscience,” but
what is a conscientious voter to do
when the choice is between a corrupt
political insider and an unhinged
demagogue?
Well, there’s always a third party.
Libertarian Gary Johnson is on the
verge of making it into the debates.
The Libertarian Platform may not be
entirely appealing to Republicans,
but with Trump and Clinton in front
of them, Johnson may start to look a
lot better.
Meanwhile, Jill Stein of the
Green Party is the natural home for
“Bernie or Bust” supporters mad
about Sanders losing the primary,
but not willing to vote for Trump out
of spite. The Green Party’s platform
is essentially the Democratic platform, except they say they’ll actually
do the things that Democrats promise to do. And with Stein polling at
four percent, it’s likely they’ll never
get the chance to be proven wrong.
A third party would be nice, but
until we get ranked voting, third parties are a luxury for people that don’t
live in swing states. Here in Iowa,
where votes actually matter, pragmatism should probably win over
principle. Too much is at stake for
anything else.
Travis Fischer is a news writer for
Mid-America Publishing and hopes
the instant-runoff voting proposed in
Maine catches on nationwide.
Away we go again. Once again
due to heavy traffic on the phone,
etc....my Monday morning deadline for this bit of whatever has
been moved to mid-afternoon! Or
later! Newer press still running
fine...but the thought of it going
south again is always there. That’s
why tomorrow evening friend machinist from Des Moines will be
here late afternoon or early evening and replace the part that has
seen its better days! (As have I!)
Took off a couple hours early one
afternoon as I had to go to Mason
City for a couple of appointments.
This time they had nothing to do
with the old bod...thank goodness.
That seems to be in pretty good
working order at the present. I
think! Finally got a new flag put up
on the front of the building. The old
one appeared to been through more
than one battle. Tattered and torn
it was! And faded! It takes a stepstool for me to get high enough to
reach the flag to take it down and
put it back up. Getting on the stepstool is getting a little more difficult each year. I’m not sure if the
step-stool is getting higher...or my
legs are getting shorter! Most likely the latter! It has been a good and
busy week once again here at the
office. Plus as soon as we/he gets
the press running AOK tomorrow
night and the supplies come in...I
have my work cut out for me.
Home...my big excitement there
was getting rid of some pesky little ants that decided to invade my
entryway! This happened about a
month ago and I successfully got
rid of them overnight. I stepped on
203 of them and the rest left when
I got out the insect killer. Then...I
came home last Friday and they
decided to try it again! This time
I stepped on 205...before getting
out the insect killer. And they disappeared once again. So far I’m
winning the battles...but they seem
to be winning the war. I’ve got
enough ant killer around the adobe
where they seem to be entering that
I hope they are giving up. I’m not!
I’m really not fond of anything in
my house that has more or less than
two legs. And if it has less than
two legs...it’s gonna’ be in all by its
lonesome! Other excitement: for
the second week in a row I found
out one is not supposed to touch
the hot part of the iron. Apparently I’m a slow learner! I don’t think
the scar will be over a foot long...
but it sure feels like it. Could it be
that all those “friends” who say I’m
a little off center for ironing...are
right? Never! By the way...one of
those “friends” includes honorable
daughter! Whom I didn’t see this
past week end because they chose
to fly to Baltimore instead of seeing me! But she did say they had
a good time...so I’ll forgive her!
And before the week end came to
an end, Shirley had a death in her
family. It was her daughter in law,
whom she was very fond of. Proving once again: we never know!
And once again...please be kind to
each other...it’s the right thing to
do! Be good, Kids! It’s Showtime!
See how I make it simple
to help secure your
family’s financial future.

Boil advisory
for Meservey
Market
BY ZACH CLEMENS
A boil advisory has been issued for the town of Meservey
after the system experienced a
drop in water pressure. It will
be in effect until further notice.
Two sets of water samples will
be taken to determine whether
the water is safe and when the
advisory can be lifted.
Kevin Baskins, a representative from the Iowa DNR said a
controller that operates the well
and fills the water tower stopped
working on Monday morning.
This caused the drop in water
pressure in the tank, which can
possibly allow bacterial contamination.
“Twenty psi is the magic
number, when it dips below
that, bacteria can get in there,”
Baskins said.
Due to the potential for bacterial contamination, it is recommended that water be boiled
before being used for drinking or cooking. An alternative
source, such as bottled water,
would be a good option as well.
Residents of Meservey are
advised to bring all water to a
boil, let it boil for one minute,
and let it cool before using, or
use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for
drinking, making ice, brushing
teeth and food preparation until
further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the
water. The water may be used
for bathing and other similar
purposes.
General guidelines on ways
to lessen the risk of infection by
microbes are available from the
EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800) 426-4791.

The Healthiest State Initiative’s
6th annual state-wide walk, presented by Delta Dental of Iowa, is
now open for registration. Schools,
worksites, communities, colleges
and universities from all over Iowa
can go online at www.iowahealthieststate.com to register and join in
on the fun!
This year’s state-wide walk lands
on Wednesday, October 5, and the
Healthiest State Initiative is asking
Iowans to #StepItUp to 30 minutes
of walking from the 1K walk that
was done previously, reflecting the
U.S. Surgeon General’s Call to Action. The goal of this year’s walk is
to have walks organized and registered in all 99 counties of Iowa.
“Six years ago we launched the
annual walk with the theme “Start
Somewhere” encouraging Iowans to
walk a 1K,” said Jami Haberl, Executive Director of the Healthiest State
Initiative. “This year we are asking
Iowans to “Step It Up” and take the
1K to thirty minutes. Just thirty minutes of walking a day can improve
one’s overall physical, social and
emotional well-being.”
Those who sign up on behalf of
their school, business or community can access walk resources, such
as toolkits for spreading the word
throughout their organization. To activate social media engagement, the
Healthiest State has created “Why I
Walk” pledge forms and various social media contests where a school
and a community are able to win a
$1,000 prize, and individuals will be
entered in a drawing to win giftcards.
“Delta Dental of Iowa is proud
to be the presenting sponsor for
the Healthiest State Walk for three
years,” says Jeff Russell, President
and CEO of Delta Dental of Iowa.
“As a health and wellness company,
we see the impact of prevention and
taking charge of your health every
day. Whether it’s getting a preventive dental exam, vision exam, or
simply walking 30 minutes a day –
we support Iowans taking steps to
take charge of their health. Working
together, I have no doubt that Iowa
can become the healthiest state in
the nation.”

Healthiest state WIND FARM
initiative annual
walk open
for registration
/ Lb.
The Whispering Willow wind farm may see an expansion of more wind turbines producing clean energy in
Franklin County. RYAN HARVEY PHOTO
“The new wind project will deliver up to 500 megawatts of low-cost, reliable and renewable energy,” said
Gov. Branstad. “The development and operational activities will result in an investment of about $1 billion in
our state.”
The investment will go toward expanding the Whispering Willow wind farm in Franklin County if the Iowa
Utility Board approves it, which is likely.
Whispering Willow began commercial operation in
2009, and covers over 33,000 acres, Gov. Branstad said.
Since 2005, Alliant has had a goal of reducing their
carbon dioxide emissions by 40 percent by 2030, and
wind energy is a big part of accomplishing that goal.
“Wind has no fuel costs and zero emissions, making
it a win-win for Iowans and the their economy,” said
Doug Kopp, president of Alliant Energy’s Iowa utility.
The first rollout of new wind turbines will be the expansion on land at Whispering Willow, which Alliant
already has rights to.
“The first phase of 200 [megawatts] will be there, and
likely the second phase [up to 500 megawatts] will be
there too,” Kopp said.
On Friday, July 29, Alliant Energy officials met with
the Franklin County Board of Supervisors, Hampton
city officials and members of the community for a more
in-depth presentation about the wind farm expansion.
Alliant leases land from landowners to construct and
operate wind turbines. Every time the wind turbines are
turning, they produce production tax credits, said Ben Lipari, Senior Manager of Project Development at Alliant.
Lipari said that Franklin County would benefit by
an increased tax base that would include local property
taxes. There will be opportunities for local contractors,
and not just during construction. About 300 jobs will be
created during the construction phase; with about 16-20
full-time permanent jobs once the construction is complete, with eight of those positions filled by Alliant.
There will also be an increase in local spending,
which will strengthen “this key partnership” between
Alliant and Franklin County for economic development.
Franklin County Supervisor Corey Eberling reiterated the increased local spending.
“The construction phase is bringing contractors in
that are using our grocery stores, our restaurants, hotels
and repair shops,” Eberling said. “That helped us out a
lot during that slow period in 2008 and 2009, and helped
us retain our businesses too.”
Each wind turbine is between 2 and 3 megawatts per
unit, so expect around 100 turbines to be constructed in
the first phase of the project.
Lipari said Alliant plans to hold an open house to
gain public input into the project, as well as hold dedicated meetings with landowners to address any of their
concerns or questions, although dates for those meetings
have not been set.
Alliant hopes to start acquiring landowner rights in
the fall, and finalize the design and construction proposals in 2017. In the spring of 2018, construction would
begin and be wrapped up early the next year as the expansion becomes commercially operational.
This expansion is all contingent on the Iowa Utility
Board approving the project, but all involved are confident that it will be approved.
The expansion at Whispering Willow will create jobs
and further deepen the relationship Franklin County has
with Alliant for years to come.
“We are dedicated to thinking about these sites for
the next 30-40 years,” Lipari said.

National pump prices have fallen
50 of the past 51 days for a total of 25
cents per gallon. The national average price for regular unleaded gasoline has declined to $2.13 per gallon,
which is the lowest level in the past
100 days and the lowest price for this
date since 2004. The current price is
three cents less than one week ago,
15 cents less than one month ago and
52 cents less than last year.
The last time the average in Minnesota was below $2 was April 14.
The last time the average in Iowa
was below $2 was March 12.
Gas prices across most of the
country continue to slide during the
peak road-trip season due to abundant supplies. Gas prices dropped in
45 states and Washington, D.C. over
the past week, though several states
did post increases (Indiana +9 cents,
Utah +3 cents, Ohio +3 cents, Missouri +1 cent, and Idaho up fractions
of a penny). This sort of dramatic
price change will come as no surprise to Midwestern drivers as pump
prices regularly move significantly
from week to week. Despite the recent uptick in several states, prices
in every state are lower than both
one month ago and one year ago.
As of yesterday, more than 40
percent of gas stations nationwide
were selling gasoline for $2.00 per
gallon or less, compared to just a
handful on this same date last year.
Fewer than one percent of stations
nationwide are selling gasoline for
more than $3.00 per gallon, com-
pared to 13 percent of stations one
year ago.
With gasoline supplies high and
oil prices low, pump prices are likely
to remain relatively cheap through
the remainder of the summer and
into the fall. While a record number of American motorists have hit
the road for summer travel, sharply
lower gas prices have not triggered
the sharply higher gasoline demand
that many analysts had anticipated.
This was evident in last week’s Energy Information Administration report, which revised the mark for U.S.
gasoline demand in May lower by
213,000 barrels per day to 9.436 million. While lower than first report-
ed, this demand number was still the
highest total on record for the month
of May.
Despite the lowest seasonal prices in more than a decade, unexpected events could trigger higher prices.
Rising crude oil costs due to a disruption in supply, stronger than expected economic growth or geopolitical tensions overseas could lead
to higher pump prices nationwide, or
regional prices could increase due to
refinery problems, production cuts,
stronger than anticipated demand, or
hurricanes that impact distribution
and production, which has happened
in several Midwestern states over the
past week.
Ample domestic oil supplies and
a strengthening U.S. dollar have contributed to West Texas Intermediate
crude oil prices testing lows not seen
since Spring. WTI is priced in U.S.
dollars, so as the dollar strengthens,
the price of oil becomes relatively
more expensive for those holding
foreign currencies. This makes oil a
less attractive investment and helps
reduce prices. If this trend continues, WTI could drop below $40 per
barrel for the first time since April
18. At the close of Friday’s formal
trading session on the NYMEX,
WTI had recovered slightly from
Thursday’s multi-month low to settle
46 cents higher at $41.60 per barrel.

Speaker of the Iowa House attends Providers say private Medicaid hurts care
Republican National Convention
THE
Iowa Medicaid providers are
str uggling under the BranstadReynolds privatization plan, according to a new survey.
More than 400 doctors, hospitals,
local clinics and non-profit health
care providers completed the survey.
They have faced hurdles and headaches in providing high-quality care
since Iowa’s $5 billion Medicaid program was privatized on April 1.
According the survey, Medicaid
providers are seeing higher costs in
running their businesses. For example:
• 90 percent say privatization has
increased their administrative expenses
• 79 percent are not getting paid
on time by the for-profit corporations now running Iowa Medicaid
• 66 percent say when they do get
reimbursed, it’s at lower rates than
agreed upon
• 28 percent have had to borrow
money to pay their bills while waiting to be reimbursed by out-of- state

With the beginning of August,
a new school year is getting closer.
That means back-to-school shopping
which can be an expensive endeavor
when you have multiple children that
all need new supplies, clothes, and
shoes.
In an effort to reduce the burden
on Iowa taxpayers and leave more
money in your pockets, the state has
an annual sales tax holiday where no
sales tax is collected on select clothing and shoes with a value of under
$100 per item. This year, the tax-free
weekend is Friday, Aug. 5 and Saturday, Aug. 6. The tax-free weekend is
a great way to save your hard-earned
money, so I encourage everyone to
take advantage of this weekend’s tax
holiday.
I recently had the honor of traveling as a member of the Iowa delegation for the Republican National
Convention in Cleveland. While I
have always been engaged in Republican politics, this was the first time
that I’ve ever had the opportunity to
attend the National Convention as
a delegate. It was a great privilege
to represent Iowa Republicans as a
member of the state’s delegation.
One of the greatest highlights of
this trip was getting to see our own
Iowa Sen., Joni Ernst, on the stage as
she spoke about America’s national
security and defense. She stressed
the need to regain our country’s
standing across the globe and defeat the dangerous threat of radical
Islamic terrorism. As a former officer in the Iowa National Guard, who
served on a deployment overseas,
Sen. Ernst is incredibly knowledgeable in the area of national defense.
As Iowans, we should be proud
to see a fellow Iowan in the spotlight
who was given the opportunity to
showcase her expertise, on a critically important topic like national security, to a national audience.
Something new that I learned is
how many people have been touched
personally by Donald Trump. Many
speakers talked about the softer side
of Trump that most people don’t read
about in the papers or see on TV.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy
Giuliani spoke about the enormous
outreach that Trump has done for

RAGAN
REPORT
Amanda
Ragan
The switch to private Medicaid
has caused a significant hardship,
according to one mental health center. “Our agency has had to take
out loans. Some of the staff have
volunteered to go without pay for
a couple of pay periods. This is all
because the MCOs owe approximately $200,000 to us at this time…
The MCOs were not at all prepared
for what they took on in such a short
time. We need help.”
Those who completed the survey
say services for Iowans on Medicaid
will suffer because of privatization:
• 61 percent say privatization has
reduced the quality of services they
can provide
• 46 percent of providers are planning to reduce services
• 38 percent say Medicaid patients can no longer see their out-ofnetwork specialty providers
One survey respondent said, “It
has harmed our most vulnerable
locally, as they now have little to
no options for some services…and
sometimes no local options at all.”
Iowa Medicaid is in a state of
emergency. Iowa physicians may
be forced to stop taking Medicaid
patients or close their doors all together. That would be bad for the
560,000 elderly, disabled and low-income Iowans who rely on Medicaid.

providers in their own words, go to

THOMAS STEWART MATHER
On Monday, Sept. 30, 1991, Tom Mather
was shot in the head and slashed several times
in his home on County Road X-40 one mile
north of the West Liberty exit off Interstate 80.
His wife, 24-year-old Dawn Mather, said he
was shot by a naked intruder and that she (also
naked) escaped to a nearby farmhouse.
Dawn reportedly told Tom’s parents that
a naked man appeared in the couple’s living
room with a gun and two pieces of rope at
8:40 p.m. The intruder said he was there to rob
them. The intruder tied up Tom and then ordered Dawn to remove her clothes before tying
her up as well. She was able to free herself and
Tom told her to run.
Dawn described her husband’s alleged
murderer as a white male, about 30 years old,
around 6 feet tall, with a slender- to medium-build, and straight, bleached-blond hair
darker toward the ends.
Immediately following Tom Mather’s murder, many questioned his wife’s involvement,
and Cedar County Sheriff Keith Whitlatch
responded with a well-known fact investigators regularly acknowledge; many murders
are committed by a person close to the victim.
“Anytime you have a spouse killed, the public
thinks it’s the surviving spouse who did it. And
quite frankly, sometimes it is. … And at this
point, we can’t say (Tom’s wife) is or isn’t [responsible],” Whitlatch said.
Whitlatch employed help from the news
media in attempts to solve Mather’s murder,
including a crime re-enactment televised by
KCRG-TV9 on Nov. 18, 1992. The re-enactment revealed several previously undisclosed
facts about the case, including the focus on a
late-model, blue Pontiac Grand Am that was
seen near the Mathers’ home about 6:45 p.m.
the night of the murder. A couple was seen
exiting a similar car in the Mathers’ driveway
that night between 8 and 8:30.
Tracks found in a cornfield there also could
match the dimensions of those of a Grand Am,
according to police.
A man dressed in tan coveralls was seen
coming from the direction of the cornfield,
carrying a pole or pipe about 8:45.
The re-enactment also revealed that a
light-colored car was seen quickly leaving the
Mathers’ driveway about 6:55. A light-colored
car also was seen parked in the driveway about
8:45.
During the re-enactment, one witness described seeing a man standing near the blue
Pontiac Grand Am talking to a woman wearing a light green dotted blouse and skirt. The
tip prompted investigators to serve a search
warrant on Dawn’s apartment, where they
found green polka-dotted clothing items like
those described by the witness.
Whitlatch held out hope, stating that officials never had ruled out Dawn Mather as a
suspect in her husband’s murder. Dawn Mather obtained a lawyer who advised her against
speaking further with police, and she promptly
moved out of state.

The Eyes Have It
Recent research from the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the
University of Miami, funded by the
California Table Grape Commission, suggests that eating grapes
may help contribute to eye health.
The laboratory study showed that
a grape-enriched diet preserved
the retina’s structure and function
against damaging oxidative stress.
Findings from two earlier laboratory studies at different universities
also showed that grape consumption helped protect the retina from
deterioration.

Farmers encouraged to apply for cost-share for
cover crops, no-till and nitrification inhibitor
• Assistance available through
Iowa Water Quality Initiative
Iowa Secretary of Agriculture, Bill Northey,
reminds Iowa farmers that
funds are available to help
install practices focused on
protecting water quality.
Practices eligible for this
funding are cover crops,
no-till or strip till and using a nitrification inhibitor
when applying fertilizer.
The cost share rate for
first-time users of cover
crops is $25 per acre. Notill or strip till is eligible for
$10 per acre. Farmers using
a nitrapyrin nitrification
inhibitor when applying
fall fertilizer can receive $3
per acre. Farmers are eligible for cost share on up to
160 acres.
First-time users that applied by
Aug. 1 will be the first applications
funded. First-time users that applied
after Aug. 1 will still receive priority
consideration, but funds will also be
made available to farmers that have
used cover crops in the past for cost
share assistance at $15 per acre.
“We already have $1.6 million
in applications from more than 700
farmers interested in trying a new
practice on their farm to better protect water quality. However, we do
have some funds available, both for
first time users and those interested
in trying cover crops again. I hope
interested farmers will contact their
local Soil and Water Conservation
District soon to learn more about
the assistance that is available,”
Northey said.
Farmers are also encouraged to
visit the Franklin County Soil and
Water Conservation District office
to inquire about additional opportunities for cost share funding through
other programs.
The cost share assistance was announced on May 11. Since then, the
Governor has signed into law $9.6
million to support the Iowa Water
Quality Initiative.
In the last three years this statewide program has been available,
and over 2,900 farmers in each of Iowa’s 99 counties have put in nutrient
reduction practices on over 294,000
acres. The state provided about $6.2
million in cost share funding to help
farmers try a water quality practice.
Iowa farmers provided more than
$6.2 million of their own resources to
support these water quality practices.
Background on
Iowa Water Quality Initiative
The Iowa Water Quality Initiative was established in 2013 to help
implement the Nutrient Reduction Strategy, a collaborative research-based approach, to achieving
a 45 percent reduction in nitrogen
and phosphorus losses to
our waters. The strategy
brings together both point
sources, such as municipal wastewater treatment
plants and industrial facilities, and nonpoint sources,
including farm fields and
urban storm water runoff,
to address these issues.
The initiative seeks
to harness the collective
ability of both private and
public resources and organizations to deliver a clear
and consistent message to
stakeholders to reduce nutrient loss and improve water quality.
In addition to the statewide cost share, there are
also currently 45 existing demonstration projects located
across the state to help implement
and demonstrate water quality practices through the initiative. This
includes 16 targeted watershed
projects, seven projects focused on
expanding the use and innovative
delivery of water quality practices
and 22 urban water quality demonstration projects. More than 100 organizations are participating in these
projects. These partners will provide
$19.31 million dollars. There are
over $12 million in state funding going to these projects.
More than $325 million in state
and federal funds have been directed
to programs with water quality benefits in Iowa last year. This total does
not include the cost share amount
that farmers pay to match state and
federal programs and funds spent to
build practices built without government assistance.
