Pharmacy closing
Clarksville honors veterans
Moads calling it
quits after 33 years
inBybusiness
Pat Racette
Longtime owners of four pharmacies in Butler County, Joan and Randy Moad, are calling it quits.
The couple recently sent out letters
to customers in Allison, Clarksville,
Greene and Nashua Pharmacies,
letting them know they no longer
would be taking prescriptions after
Dec. 7.
The Moads sold their business to
Hy-Vee, who will be getting delivery vehicles and staff to handle all
the pharmacies’ customers. Hy-Vee
in Waverly will be the headquarters.
As far as the Moads’ employees,
Hy-Vee will interview anyone interested for floral, pharmacist, pharmacy technician and sales clerk positions.
“Hy-Vee is making an investment,”
Joan said, the Clarksville pharmacist
for the last 23 years. “We wanted our
customers to be left in good hands,
and we thought they were the best
ones to do that.”
The Moads closed down Dows
Pharmacy last year, before stopping business at Dumont Pharmacy
five months ago. Allison is the only
location holding on to their store,
changing its name to Allison Variety,
Hardware and Floral and keeping
the photo machine, floral part, blood
pressure machine, computers and
hardware.
“When I closed Dumont last July,
I had no designs of selling this business,” Randy said, Allison’s pharmacist. “But as we thought of selling
Clarksville, it began to become apparent that it was going to have to be
all or nothing.
“After considering their [Hy-Vee]
offer, rather than having me wait
three or four years to hit the magic
65 [years old number], [I thought]
maybe just go ahead and get it
done…We worked with them so that
they are going to start a pilot project
and deliver in all the towns. This was
a very important part of our agreement.”
One of the main reasons the Moads
decided to sell the business was due
to reimbursement rates from insurance companies not covering the
costs of some prescriptions.
“They [insurance companies] cut
back the reimbursement rates,” Randy said. “So now on something the
insurance companies used to charge
a patient $8, they have lowered it
down to $3. The difference is coming out of the pharmacy’s pocket,
not the insurance company.”
“It’s just in the last three or four
years that things have seemed to
snowball, and when you see horrible
reimbursement rates, you wonder if
it’s worth staying open to lose money basically.”
In 2014, Randy won’t have to go
back and forth between Allison and
Dumont pharmacies; and the Moads
won’t have to worry about insurances, employees or working weekends,
as their retirement will begin.
“My wife [Joan] has wanted to retire for some time, [and] my daughter graduated from North Butler and
is going to Berklee College of Music in Boston [Mass.] now,” he said.
“We think she’ll be traveling soon,
so maybe we’ll be traveling around
with her, be a band groupie or something.”
The Moads’ daughter, Christine,
plays bass guitar and sings with

Clarksville Community School
District held their annual program
Monday in honor of Veterans Day.
Principal Bob Saathoff welcomed
the audience of middle and high
school students, along with staff and
public too, and then left them with
a poem.

religion. / It is the veteran, not the
reporter who has given you freedom
Clarksville Pharmacy will no longer be accepting prescriptions after
Sunday, Dec. 7. The building is for sale, with big going-out-of-business deals to begin soon. The store/pharmacy/floral officially closes
at the end of the year. (Pat Racette Photo)
Dirty Blind, a 1960s/’70s classic
rock band that opened up for Jefferson Starship this year in the North
East. With only 10 credit hours left
before graduating, Christine took off
this semester to check out the music
scenes in Nashville, San Francisco
and L.A. for life after college.
Besides traveling with their daughter, Randy wants to take on a more
active role at Wilder Park, while
Joan has several projects that have
been on hold.
CLARKSVILLE PHARMACY
The Clarksville Pharmacy opened
up in 1981 where Bill Tjaden Insurance is now. Two years later, the
Moads bought the building across
the street (111 S. Main St.) from the
retiring and well-known Huber’s
Clothing Store owners.
“The pharmacy area was actually the shoe department in Huber’s
store,” Joan said. “The shelves were
perfect for shoe boxes and it’s perfect for pill bottles too…When this
building came open and we first
moved in, I thought this is so big,
we’ll never fill it. Some 30 years
later, we certainly did fill it up!”
Joan looks back and remembers
the kids then that have kids now with
prescriptions.
“I can’t believe I’ve been at this so
long, I’m seeing generations go by,”
she said.
She also remembers Clarksville’s
old downtown celebration, Images
of Christmas, which is being resurrected this year.
“That was always a lot of fun,” she
said. “All the different things that
the townspeople planned, and that
brings back a lot of good memories
with all the different things we did
for that.”
The Clarksville Pharmacy store,
along with the Nashua and Greene
stores, will be open until Dec.31. All
the buildings are for sale, with big
going-out-of-business sales to begin
soon.
Joan sees the soon-to-be vacant
building in Clarksville as an opportunity for somebody hungry to start
a business.
Jeff Kolb, Butler County Development Corporation Executive Director, said the goal now is to find a
better solution with brick and mortar
pharmacy presence in each of the
towns.
“We have already reached out to
some resources to see what our options are,” Kolb said. “We need to
adapt to a changing retail climate.
We may be looking at options to colocate pharmacies within an existing business. Our organization will
work with the Moads to market their
buildings. All three are dominant
storefronts in their respective downtown, and we need to work together
to find new uses for these buildings.
“We need to adapt and find new
and creative ways to retain these vital services in our communities.”

Social studies teacher Chris Arians followed by taking the microphone for opening remarks, describing a quote that free is never
free and about his travels to the
east coast.
“You never really know how
much people sacrifice for you and
for your freedom until you get into
a situation kind of like that where
it’s really humbling,” Arians said
of visiting Arlington National
Cemetery. “Also on my Washington, D.C., trip I was able to visit
the World War II Memorial. On
the memorial was a big wall; full
of gold stars the size of my hand.
Each star is meant to represent 100
military deaths from WWII, and
that’s just from the United States
side. There are 4,048 stars…”
Veteran Habbo Fokkena was
next up as the guest speaker, asking questions that weren’t to be answered but contemplated.
“Why are we here today? Why
are you sitting there? Why you are
thinking about veterans?” Fokkena
said. “As Mr. Arians asked you,
and I want to ask you again – Have
you ever wondered, have you ever
thought about why those people
that you know when you raised
your hand a short time ago [if knew
someone in military] left their families? Left their jobs? Left their
communities? Left to serve their
countries either here or abroad?”
The high school select choir sang
both the Star Spangled Banner and
the patriotic hymm of God Bless
America in the ceremony, while
the Clarksville AMVETS Color
Guard presented and retrieved colors, and Mr. Sundet played TAPS
on trumpet.

of economic justice and civil rights,
addressing the challenges of climate
change and gun violence, investing
in education, and building the infrastructure to spark a new generation
of middle-class prosperity.”

Relay Leadership Forum….
Six Butler County Relay for Life
Committee members attended the
American Cancer Society Northern
Iowa Relay for Life Leadership
Forum in Clear Lake on Saturday,
November 9th. Those from Butler
County were: Helen Debner, Harriet
Forry, Vicki Majewski, Jamie
Thompson, Jan Loyson and Lucille
Leerhoff.
The group exchanged ideas and
had the opportunity to share best
What's going on?
See his long, orange body scram
the opposite way I was going makes
me angry. He’s gotten out before and
it usually hasn’t been a problem, but
on this day it’s not that simple to get
him.
My blood begins to boil as I take
Colton into Mom and look to get
Tom in one fell swoop. But every
time I get near him, the slippery,
elongated and vocal cat swiftly runs
by me in a blur. My wife was going
to work as well, as she was right behind us before Tom crept his way out
the side door and to freedom. She’s
now on my case to hurry up because
she’s going to be late.
Trying to focus on a better time
and better place where happiness
seeps out of me with every breath, I
give up and decide maybe I need to
get some of this anger out.
I start to close in on Thomas yet
again, as he lies on his stomach like
a scaredy cat. Tom is by far our most
anxious cat, which is annoys us, but
he is the best cuddler too. When I get
mad at him, it’s always hard to be really angry, because he doesn’t have a
mean bone in his body.
He happens to be in the garage, so
I think it’s a good idea to shut the
door and enclose him. However this
backfires horribly, as Thomas gets
more afraid and jumpy and I get
more and more mad at him, feeling
like I should rip off my shirt to become the Incredible Hulk.
But unfortunately or fortunately,
my muscles stay puny and I’m yelling at Tom like he is a human. Somehow I get my hand on him, but he
makes a mad dash for it and hides
under my car in the front, where I
have no chance to get him.
I’ve now come undone, but my
wife saves the day by coming outside with treats and grabbing up
Tommy as he munches them.
Though I feel like an idiot for not
thinking of it and instead locking
us in the garage to get him, I’m just
happy he’s in. Who knows, maybe I
needed to get that anger out? Hopefully Tommy didn’t take offense,
and if he did, I did apologize to him
that night when I got home and pet
him good and told him I loved him.

Tuesdays, bloody Tuesdays
Tuesdays are always an enigma to
me.
They likely should be the most
boring day of the week, but rarely is
that the case for me anymore.
Last Tuesday, let’s just say it was
one of those Tuesdays that I wished
could’ve gone better.
At 4 a.m., my son jumps into bed
and says, “I want to get up, Daddy.
Daddy, I want to get up.”
Who knows how long he asked me
that question, as eventually I could
ignore him no longer and pulled my
bones together to make him something for breakfast.
Then around 6:30 a.m., I get a
text message that Casey’s General
Store caught on fire. Having trouble
believing this, I want to go find out
what’s going on, but I have to go
through the morning routine before
I can get there.
A little overwhelmed by the start
of the day’s news, knowing it’s
deadline day, chinks in my armor
begin to show. I’m supposed to have
all my assignments in, but obviously
for such a disaster changes have to
be made.
My family’s orange cat, Tom aka
Thomas, somehow sneaks out the
door behind me as I walked out the
door to drop Colton off and head to
Clarksville to see what is going on
with Casey’s.
Family Caregivers: ‘Now More Than Ever’
AMES, Iowa — Adding the role
of caregiver to an already full life
can be overwhelming. With about
90 million family caregivers in the
United States, National Family
Caregivers Month is recognizing the
need for their service with the theme
“now more than ever.”
“The physical, emotional and financial stress can make it difficult to
appreciate the rewards of caring for
a loved one,” said Donna Donald, a
family life specialist with Iowa State
University Extension and Outreach.
“As the number of family caregivers
continues to grow, ‘now more than
ever’ it is important to recognize the
vital role family caregivers play and
find support and resources to help
them thrive, not just survive.”
Two out of five adults in the U.S.
are family caregivers and 39 percent of all adult Americans are caring for a sick or disabled loved one,
according to the Caregiver Action
Network. The network coordinates
National Family Caregivers Month
every November as a time to thank,
support, educate and empower family caregivers.
“Caregiving takes many forms.
A caregiver may help a friend or
relative with housekeeping, grocery
shopping or personal care,” Donald
said. “Maybe you drive your loved
one to doctor appointments or social
activities at a senior center. Maybe
your loved one lives with you or you
help him or her with financial, legal
or insurance issues. If you do one or
more of these, you are a caregiver.”
Extension and Outreach Resources for Caregivers
Caregivers who thrive, rather than
just survive, understand that by taking care of themselves, they are bet-
ter able to provide the care that their
loved ones need, Donald said.
Family caregivers can get resources online from eXtension, America’s
research-based learning network.
Go to http://www.extension.org/
family_caregiving for information,
webinars and “ask an expert” questions and answers related to many
aspects of family caregiving.
Family caregivers also may want
to seek out a Powerful Tools for
Caregivers class from ISU Extension and Outreach, Donald said.
These classes, held over a period of
six weeks, are designed to provide
family caregivers with skills they
need to take care of themselves.
“The Powerful Tools classes help
caregivers find balance in their lives.
You’ll learn ways to reduce stress,
improve self-confidence, better
communicate your feelings and increase your ability to make tough
decisions,” Donald said.
For information about upcoming
classes, contact any ISU Extension
and Outreach county office or check
the Powerful Tools for Caregivers

Huh?
I don’t know about you, but I find
health insurance to be extremely
frustrating! When I was teaching, I
never really gave it a lot of thought;
I’d get sick and go to the doctor, pay
my co-pay and insurance paid the
rest. As a teacher, it was an added
benefit and we could choose Option
A (low premium, high deductible)
or Option B (high premium, low
deductible). Since I wasn’t paying, I
usually took Option B.
Now that I‘m in a job with no
health care benefits, I am fast learning the ins and outs of insurance. I
have my own plan and have had it
for 3 years and have never paid the
same premium amount two times in
a row. There’s ALWAYS a “slight
adjustment” made.
With all the uproar about Obamacare lately, I’ve become even more
confused. People are being told they
will no longer be able to remain
on their plans because there’s not
enough coverage provided. Really?
If my era is close to retirement, do
they really need an obstetrics and
pediatrics option? Yet, current plans
will no longer be available because
they don’t have them!
So, we have to pay for options we
will probably never need? We can’t
select the plan we’ve always had?
Where can I go for answers to these
tough health questions?
Glad you asked! ISUEO evidently
saw the writing on the wall months
ago and felt people would be needing access to information that was
fair and impartial. They put together
and piloted an information meeting
called “Smart Choice Health Insurance” and it is being carried out all
over Iowa.
The workshops will be covering:
1) Key health insurance terms and
concepts
2) Thinking about YOUR health
care needs
3) Comparing policies
4) The new Health Insurance Marketplace
5) Premium Tax Credits and other
cost reductions
The meetings are free to all participants and all ages are welcome.
Registrations are required so call
the Butler County Extension & Outreach Office today to sign up.
There will be 3 meetings in Butler
County in the next few weeks:
Monday, Nov 18, 6-8 pm, Butler
County Extension Office
Monday, Dec 2, 3-5 pm, Parkersburg Public Library
Monday, Dec 2, 6-8 pm, Greene
Public Library
All meetings will be presented by
Brenda Schmitt, ISUEO Family Finance Specialist.

care questions, call the Butler County Extension Office at 319/267-2707

Tips for Holiday Shopping
As holiday shopping becomes a 24hour, seven day a week proposition for
more and more retailers, consumers
need to be on guard 24/7 when shopping for holiday gifts online, by phone
or by mail, or through local brick and
mortar stores.
Ads & Sales
•
Read store ads carefully. Is
the store offering sale items at a limited quantity? Can you get a rain check
if it’s an out-of-stock sale item?
•
Take the ad with you when
you go shopping to make sure you find
the right item at the price advertised.
•
Focus on bottom-line prices,
not discounts. Discount claims may
not reflect real savings, if the seller inflated the original price of an item and
then discounted it to make the “discount price” appear as a bargain.
The Seller
•
Buy from a seller you trust.
Whether the seller is down the street or
across the country, know who you’re
buying from. Be wary of online retailers that don’t disclose contact information, including a phone number and
physical address.
•
Understand the seller’s return and refund policies. How long do
you have to return the item? Will you
get a full refund, store credit, or nothing? Is there a restocking fee? Do you
need a receipt and the product packaging? If the seller ships an item that
you later decide to return, who pays
for shipping?
•
If you’re making an online
purchase, make sure it’s a secure website. Secure sites use an “https“ prefix
in their Web address. The “s” stands
for secure, which means the site is not
secure without it! Don’t email financial information, such as credit card or
bank account numbers.
•
If ordering online or by
phone, use a credit card because credit
cards generally offer consumers better
protections in cases of fraud or disputes. Only give credit card numbers
to sellers you know and you called.
And review your monthly statements
to ensure the charges are correct.
Avoid using a debit card, because
debit transactions draw directly from
your bank account. Don’t wire money
or send cash.
•
If it’s a mail or phone order,
the merchant is required to ship the
item within 30 days of the order, unless the seller clearly discloses a longer wait in advertisements or catalog.
If the merchant cannot meet the 30day deadline, the seller must disclose
it to the customer and offer the option
of a cancellation and full refund.
•
If you’re buying through a
layaway, be sure you understand the
policies, including any additional fees
or restrictions, and cancellation policies.
Warranties & Extended Warranties
•
How long does the seller
warranty the product? Does a seller’s
warranty go beyond the manufacturer’s warranty?
•
Think carefully about extended warranties and service agreements. Be sure to understand the
terms, including what is and is not
covered. Extended warranties often
mean add-on profits for sellers, but
they can also offer peace of mind for
the buyer and convenience if the product breaks during the warranty period.
Gift Cards
•
Understand the terms. Does
the merchant charge a gift card purchase fee? Does the merchant charge
an inactivity fee (which is allowed after 12 months of inactivity)?
•
The card must clearly disclose the expiration date, and fees must
be clearly disclosed on the card or its
packaging. Gift cards must be good
for five years from the purchase date,
or from the last date any additional
money was loaded onto the card.
•
Urge the recipient to use the
card sooner rather than later to avoid
loss, theft, and future inactivity fees.
And keep your receipts, or give the
recipient a receipt in case of problems
down the road.
The partial shutdown of the federal
government revealed the ugly side
of our national politics. As Americans struggle to recover from the
Great Recession, federal lawmakers continue to furiously volley back
and forth on how to pay for a bloated
budget with money they do not have.
The morale of the American people
is waning, for our nation’s leaders
have failed to inspire confidence in
the people they serve.
Perhaps now is the time to remind Americans of the significance
of state governments. While being heard by Congress seems like
a monumental task, Americans can
talk to—and be heard by—their
state lawmakers. State governments
are best suited to address local issues, and together, a chorus of state
lawmakers can elicit real change in a
state’s direction and hold sway over
the federal government.
The United States Constitution
was designed with state governments in mind. The 10th Amendment gives power to the states and
to the people and reminds all Americans they do have a seat at the table.
And, while the federal government
was shut down, state governments
were open and fully functional.
States have bills to pay, promises to
keep and their constituents to serve.
Significant to state governments
is their relationship with their citizens. State officials live and work
among their constituents, and it is
much easier to hear the praises and
protests of your constituents when
they are your neighbors. This type
of relationship is what keeps state
governments accountable and helps
them more easily reflect the needs
of their residents. Governing from
2,000 miles away is a difficult task,
and it is no wonder people say Congress and the Administration are de-
tached from the rest of the nation:
they physically are.
In Iowa and 47 other states, the
law requires a balanced budget, and
states’ taxation policies, education
policies, environmental policies and
other policies give them their own
unique signatures. The beauty of
state governments is not their similarities, but their differences. These
differences give Americans the ability to make decisions on what is best
community by community, from
deciding in which state to live to
which state to own a business. State
governments provide choice for the
American people, and those choices
are what allow Americans to make
decisions best suited for them.
State governments are representative of the government our founders envisioned: of the people, by the
people and for the people. Returning
the balance of power back in favor
of the states would return us closer
to the model intended by the framers of the Constitution. It may also
be our best opportunity to avoid the
crippling impact of dysfunction in
Washington D.C.
This shutdown marked the 18th
time the federal government has shut
down since 1976. Certainly it seems
the federal government is willing to
use the American people as a bargaining chip. Perhaps it is time to
remind the federal government of its
purpose. If government is emblematic of the people it serves, then our
federal government does not hold
the American people in high regard.
While there will always be differences in opinion, state governments
show that regular compromise can
be achieved and that opposing parties can work together. It is time the
federal government looked to the
states as models of leadership.
Help for Iowa Veterans in need
Military service is a life-changing
event for service members and their
families. Our obligation to veterans continues long after they return
home. The Veterans Trust Fund is
there to help those in the greatest
need.
The Legislature created the Veterans Trust Fund in 2003 and invested
about $6 million in state dollars. To
increase the balance in the Fund and
help more veterans in need, the Legislature voted in 2008 for the Iowa
Lottery to create patriotic-themed
scratch and pull-tab games with
profits going to the Fund. These instant lottery games bring in $2 million to $3 million annually. In addition, Iowans who file a tax return
may designate a donation to the Veterans Trust Fund through an income
tax check off. As of September 30,
the Fund had reached a balance of
$18.1 million.
Interest earned on the Veterans
Trust Fund has been helping veterans and their families, particularly
those with limited incomes who
have immediate needs, since December 2007. The Iowa Commission of Veterans Affairs administers
the Fund, authorizing requests for
unemployment assistance due to
service-related causes; health and
dental care; medical equipment and
prescription drugs; counseling and
substance abuse treatment; home
and vehicle repairs; and emergency
housing.
To better protect our veterans from
the long-term effects of brain injury, the Legislature voted this year
to allow the Veterans Trust Fund to
cover screening for service-related
traumatic brain injury for those who
do not qualify for any other government program, private health insurance or managed care organization.
During the 2013 session, we also
established an account within the
Veterans Trust Fund to defray college expenses for children of service members who died on active
duty prior to 9/11 by transferring
$129,000 from the War Orphans
Educational Assistance Fund. The
federal Post 9/11 GI Bill covers college tuition for children of military
personnel killed in action since September 11, 2001.

Trust Fund or to apply for help, go to

Health Care Rollout is Short on Transparency
By Chuck Grassley
It’s hard to believe healthcare.gov
has been online more than a month
already. The website wasn’t ready
for primetime when it was launched.
Technical experts say there are serious design problems. The Obama
Administration has suggested people
call instead of going online, but that
doesn’t help because enrolling in the
new health care program by phone
requires the same computer infrastructure that’s causing problems for
online visitors.
When people do manage to register themselves on healthcare.gov,
it’s not clear insurance companies
are able to take the next step and
enroll the registrants in health care
coverage. News reports show problems with the individual information
insurers use to enroll the individuals
in a health care plan. Inaccurate or
corrupted data would interfere with
successful enrollment. That has implications for when the Administration should enforce the individual
mandate requiring enrollment. It
would be unfair to penalize people
for not having health insurance
when technical problems have impeded their enrollment.
Enrollment numbers continue
to be extremely hard to come by.
That’s worrisome. Government programs should be transparent because
transparency brings accountability
for the significant taxpayer dollars
and resources at stake.
Performing our constitutional
responsibility of oversight of the
executive branch of government,
a fellow senator and I are seeking
information on our own. We asked
four major health insurers for their
healthcare.gov enrollment numbers,
and we sought contracts and cost information from the companies that
built the flawed healthcare.gov.
This week, Health and Human
Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will testify before the Finance
Committee, with jurisdiction over
much of the new health care program. She should expect to deliver
concrete facts on the new health care
program’s troubled rollout and provisions that are affecting millions
of Americans, from cancellation of
their current insurance to reductions
in their work hours related to the
new law.
The President achieved what he
sees as the signature accomplishment of his tenure. He and his Administration are responsible for every aspect of that signature accomplishment, including what doesn’t
work and what undermines the previously successful parts of the health
care system.

Home Country
by Slim Randles
My first wife came from a
ranching family way back up in the
hills and had a cousin, Ted, who was
a hounddog man.
I talked my way into hunting with
him, of course.
All went well until we were on the
way home, when a badger ran across
the road and dove into a large culvert
pipe.
“Oh wow!” Ted yelled. “Let’s get
him!”
He released most of the hounds
and they plugged the culvert pipe
with bawling insults. In the dead
center of the pipe was a snarling
badger.
“Gotta smoke him outta there,”
Ted said, lighting a cigar and
handing it to me.
“Now crawl in there and smoke
that sucker out,” he said.
“You sure?”
“How many badgers you
hunted?”
So I crawled into the pipe with
the cigar in my mouth, puffing away,
and the badger actually backed up a
few steps.
Then Ted released his old dog
from the car. He screamed in the
other end of the pipe and grabbed
that badger in the butt.
The record for backing out of a
culvert pipe with a glowing cigar in
one’s mouth was shattered.
My wife told me that, as a
member of the family, I could hunt
with Ted all the time.

Grassley comments on
National Adoption Month
Q: Why is National Adoption
Month observed in November?
A: During this season of thanksgiving, millions of American households open their homes to friends
and family from near and far. We
come together to celebrate cherished
traditions that have been handed
down for generations. Hospitality,
hearth and harvest come to mind as
families gather at the table and give
thanks. As Americans make plans
for the holiday feast, we can quibble
about giblets in the gravy or whether
to roast, deep fry or brine the turkey.
Each family enjoys its own unique
traditions and family favorites on the
Thanksgiving menu. When it’s all
said and done, there’s really no place
like home. That’s why it’s especially fitting to commemorate National
Adoption Month in November. Tens
of thousands of foster children in
America long to have a permanent
place setting at their very own family’s table on Thanksgiving Day and
every other day of the year. Last
year, nearly 400,000 children lived
in the U.S. foster care system. Of
those, nearly 102,000awaited adoption. More than 26,000 aged out of
the system before ever securing a
permanent place to call home. Since
1990, National Adoption Month has
helped to raise awareness for children awaiting adoption and appreciation for those who have answered
the call to serve as foster or adoptive
parents. So many of us look forward
to celebrating the homecoming of
friends and family on Thanksgiving
Day. Just consider the hope-filled
anticipation of a child longing to be
welcomed home for good to a forever family.
Q: What can be done to help
more children awaiting adoption
to find a permanent, loving home?
A: As co-founder and co-chair of
the bipartisan Senate Caucus on Foster Youth, I’ve worked to raise public
awareness and educate policymakers
about the challenges facing foster
youth, especially those who age out
of the system with no long-term support structure in place. Children and
adolescents need stability, certainty
and constancy in their lives. A permanent, loving home provides the
most nurturing foundation to help
youth reach their fullest potential
in society. We should acknowledge
foster youth throughout the year, not
just November, and give thanks to
parents who heed the call to adopt
a child. And, we can always do
more to ensure that children who
await adoption get the assistance
they need, including support to stay
in school and sustain their education. Earlier this year, I introduced
the Foster Youth Stamp Act of 2013
that would provide for the issuance
and sale of a postal stamp by the
U.S. Postal Service. Revenue generated from the stamp would support
state-based programs, including the
Adoption Opportunities Program –
which seeks permanent outcomes
for foster care youth through adoption, guardianship or kinship care
– and the State Court Improvement
Program – which seeks to improve
legal representation for youth and
addresses caseloads and the court’s
role in achieving safe, stable, per-
manent homes for children in foster
care.
Q: What other legislative provisions have you championed to promote adoption?
A: As an outspoken advocate for
“life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” at the policymaking tables in
Washington, I believe these founding principles apply especially to
vulnerable children in our society.
I’ve worked with Iowa families, foster youth, child welfare advocates,
court representatives and social
workers to help identify financial,
legal and bureaucratic roadblocks
that make it difficult for kids to find
a permanent, loving home through
adoption, guardianship or reunification with their birth family. Through
congressional hearings and legislation, I’ve worked to raise awareness
about the stability that adoption can
bring to a child in need of a loving
home as well as the public good
adoption brings to society.
• In 1997, I worked to advance the
Adoption and Safe Families Act that
is credited with doubling adoptions
from foster care in many states.
• As then-chairman of the taxwriting Senate Finance Committee,
I secured an expansion of federal tax
credit assistance in the 2001 tax law
that increased qualified expenses for
adoption from $5,000 to $10,000.
Today the tax credit is indexed for
inflation and was made a permanent
provision of the federal tax code earlier this year. Adoptive parents this
year may apply $12,970 in qualified
adoption expenses to their 2013 federal tax return.
• In 2006, congressional hearings
in the Senate Finance Committee led
to the passage of the Child and Family Services Improvement Act that
improved programs designed to help
troubled families and increased caseworker visits for foster care youth.
• In 2008, I authored the Fostering
Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions law which increased
federal incentives for states to move
children from foster care to adoptive
homes; made it easier for children to
be adopted by relatives; made children with special needs eligible for
federal adoption assistance; and, established new educational opportunities for youth who age out of foster
care at age 18.
Q: What is National Adoption
Day?
A: Since 2000, 44,500 families
have finalized adoptions on National
Adoption Day. Organizers single out
the Saturday before Thanksgiving
to raise public awareness and honor
adoptive families across the country.
As Iowans count our blessings and
celebrate family on Thanksgiving
Day, let’s remember the children in
our communities who dream to find
a family to call their own once and
for all. Have you, a family member,
friend or neighbor considered adoption? On behalf of the thousands of
foster children whose single-most
important wish upon the turkey’s
wishbone would be to take a seat at
their very own family’s Thanksgiving table, I encourage you to prayerfully consider the call if you’re in a
position to do so.

Farm and Food Bill Negotiations Begin
The conference committee on the
farm and food bill started in earnest
last week. Provisions I authored
to establish a farm payment cap of
$250,000 and close loopholes used
by non-farmers to game the system
were included in both the Senate
and House bills. Congressman Jeff
Fortenberry sponsored the provisions in the House bill.
Our efforts were recently given
a boost when the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released
a report outlining many of the current shortcomings of the eligibility
rules for farm programs. The report
shows that there is still far too much
subterfuge of the actively engaged
law. For instance, taxpayers are
footing the bill for farm payments to
11 active managers of one farm who
FARM/TIMBER LAND SALE
BUTLER COUNTY, IOWA
Section 13, Beaver Township
supposedly provide significant management experience, yet perform no
labor. The report also says that the
legislative language in the Senateand House-passed farm bills would
be an appropriate fix to the agency’s
findings.
The reform in the bills ends some
of the most egregious abuses of the
farm program and makes sure that
the farm program payments are going to those who need them most,
and it saves money. We try to make
sure that 22 people no longer get
farm payments through a single farm
entity using loopholes, (especially
when 16 of those 22 members aren’t
doing any labor, as the GAO report
pointed out), and we aim to prevent
70 percent of the farm payments
from going to the top 10 percent of
farms by size.
I’ve made clear that the farm payment provisions should have a “Do
Not Touch” stamp applied to them.
The provisions are nearly identical
in the two bills and should not be up
for negotiation.
Still, some members of the conference committee have already made
clear of their intention to remove the
reforms. By removing the payment
limits and the provisions to close
loopholes, these members are only
making the safety net more susceptible to criticism and vulnerable to
elimination.
The safety net is important to a
safe and affordable food supply for
the country, and it would be shortsighted to allow such a parochial
mindset to undermine an important
and necessary policy.
