Choices is located at 114 West 2nd Street in Washington. Transportation is available for Keokuk County residents.

Choices Drop-in Center in Washington accepting Keokuk County residents
By CJ Eilers
News Editor
Keokuk County residents with mental health symptoms now have a new
option for support, through the Choices Drop-in Center in Washington.
Choices is run by First Resources
Corporation, with the center being
funded by South East Iowa Link (SEIL)
Mental Health and Disability Services.
The Drop-in Center opened its door
last year to Washington County residents and last month chose to also allow residents of Keokuk County to use
their facility for “drop in” for connecting with support groups and access to
other community resources. There is
no cost involved for group sessions or
any of the services provided.
“Choices is a consumer run drop
in center that provides important
supports for persons with psychiatric
needs,” Jill Boileau, the facilitator of the
drop-in center said. “Everyone is a participant and helps maintain the center.
Individuals can relax, be themselves,
be accepted and safe, and find the
encouragement they need to rebuild
their lives.”
The Drop-in Center features a meeting room, foozeball table, tv and movies to watch, and a safe environment
for anyone seeking help. The center is
open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with two meals
and two group sessions hosted Monday through Friday. A monthly calendar is developed by the participants
about what they wish to cover during
the group sessions, with topics including overall mental, recovery plans and
support. More than 45 individuals visit
regularly, with 200 visits each month.
Transportation is being offered from
Keokuk County to Washington twice
a week on Tuesday and Thursday by
Choice, with SEIL paying the expenses.
Reservations must be made by 6 p.m.
the day before by calling 319-591-8176
and they can pick individuals up anywhere.
“By offering transportation from
Keokuk County, we’re hoping to grow
our numbers, and people will benefit from this,” Boileau said. “I think it’s
a great opportunity to come and see
what [First Resources] is about. There’s
great support here, not only from
the facilitators, but also the participants.
A lot of people are apprehensive about
coming in for the first time, but because this a peer run facility, it becomes
comfortable for them and they take an
active role in their own recovery.”

Celebrate the End of Summer by Saving Lives
Sigourney Police Department and
Keokuk County Sheriff’s Office to Participate in sTEP
Summer is coming to an end, and
before we know it, school will be
starting and Labor Day will be here.
There will be last minute family vacations, shopping trips, and end-ofsummer celebrations, which mean
more people will be traveling on
Iowa roadways.
The Iowa Department of Public
Safety’s (DPS) Iowa Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) warns that
some of those drivers may be driving
impaired, and that puts anyone who
is sharing the roadway with them at
a higher risk of being involved in a
crash. In an effort to remove these
dangerous drivers, there will be a
noticeable increase in traffic en-
This Week’s Color
In The Keota Eagle
Is Brought To You By
forcement across Iowa from August
23 – September 5, 2016.
Almost one-third of all traffic
crash fatalities in the United States
and Iowa involve drunk drivers.
That means an average of 10,000
people in the United States have
died needlessly every year since
2010. According to the Center for
Disease Control (CDC), 28 people,
nationwide, die every day in motor
vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This amounts
to one death every 53 minutes.
During the 2014 (the last year statistics are available) Labor Day holiday
weekend, 40 percent of the fatalities
in traffic crashes involved drunk
drivers, which was the highest percentage in over five years.
In contrast, the simple act of wearing a seat belt is the single most effective thing a driver or passenger
can do to protect themselves in a
crash. A National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) report shows that seat belts save over
13,000 lives per year. That is more
than the population of most Iowa
towns, and it only takes approximately four seconds to buckle up.
This Labor Day holiday and every day, buckle up and don’t drive
drunk. Working together, we can
help keep people safe on our roads!

Keokuk County Farm Bureau
Annual Meeting Aug. 30
The Keokuk County Farm Bureau Board of Directors will have
the 98th annual meeting on Tuesday, August 30, 6:30 p.m. at the
Expo Fairgrounds in Sigourney.
This year’s featured speaker will be
Laurie Johns, Iowa Farm Bureau’s
Public Relations Manager. Johns is
responsible for providing information about Farm Bureau activities
and policies to print and broadcast
media, authors monthly commentaries on ag issues and works with
county Farm Bureau members to
effectively tell agriculture’s story.

and recipients of the Teacher Supplement Grants recognized.
Laurie Johns, Iowa Farm Bureau’s Public Relations Manager, will the featured speaker at this year’s event.
Farm tenants and land owners are
encouraged to attend August 23
the third consecutive year, dropping
by 6.5 percent from 2015. Every crop
reporting district in the state saw a
decline in rental prices.”
The two and a half hour workshop
is designed to assist landowners,
farm tenants and other agri-business professionals with current issues related to farmland ownership,
management and leasing arrangements. Attendees will gain a better
understanding of current cash rental
rate surveys and factors driving next
year’s rents such as market trends
and input costs.
Each registrant will receive a 100page workbook with resources regarding land leasing agreements
such as surveys, sample written lease
agreements and termination forms,
along with many other publications.
Sieren graduates from University of Nebraska
Sara Elizabeth Sieren of Keota was
among nearly 800 graduates who
received degrees from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln during the
summer all-university commencement ceremony Aug. 13 at Pinnacle
Bank Arena.
Sieren earned a master of science
from the Office of Graduate Studies.
Melanie Simpson, Willa Cather professor of biochemistry at UNL, associate director of the University of
Nebraska’s Center for Biotechnology
and a member of the Fred and Pame-
closed “back problem.” Her treatment cost $25,000, and when she
was later diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer, her bills skyrocketed to more
than $200,000.
Another issue that I am very up
to date on is the denial of mental
health care for people in the state of
Iowa. With more and more facilities
being shut down, the need for these
services is over the roof but the government is closing these facilities left
and right.
With new health care rules it is no
wonder that people are frustrated.
How fair is it to determine the value
of ones life based on denial of coverage? Just food for thought. Have a
great week.
Welcome back and we hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer
vacation!

Farmland Leasing Meetings
to Increase Understanding
of Rental Agreements
Washington County Extension is
hosting a farmland leasing meeting
on August 23 at 6:00 pm at the Washington County Extension Office. The
annual meeting is offered to address
questions that land owners, tenants
or other interested individuals have
about leasing farmland.
Topics will include land values and
cash rent trends, cost of production,
methods for determining a rental
rate, legislative updates regarding
leases and communicating with tenants or landlords.
“More than half of Iowa’s farmland
is rented, and strong landlord/tenant
relationships are important for the
long-term viability of Iowa’s valuable
farmland,” said Alejandro Plastina,
assistant professor of economics and
extension economist at Iowa State
University. “Cash rent values across
the state of Iowa have declined for
Amie Van Patten, Regional Editor
I have recently been looking into
the health care system and how families are being failed. My most recent experience comes from knowing that insurance can tell you yes
or no when it comes to a very needed procedure. And of course my
thoughts are this- I don’t get to say
yes or no when paying the premium,
we have to do it regardless. Don’t
get me wrong, I could understand an
insurance company saying no to a
non-necessity item such as a tummy
tuck etc. However, if a person needs
a procedure to maintain their everyday living then who are we to say
they cannot receive it? I am not sure
how an insurance company could
say, “No, you don’t need a life saving
organ transplant” or “No chemo for
you”.
An example is in 2007, CIGNA denied a liver transplant for a 17 year
old patient. Another is a 12 year old
boy with a prosthetic arm being told
he has maxed out his lifetime insurance use. And again, a lymphoma
patient lost his health care coverage
while still undergoing chemotherapy. Insurance said it terminated his
policy because he didn’t disclose a
note that a doctor once wrote in his
file -- that he didn’t know about -indicating he had a small aneurysm
and gallstones. A final example is a
patient was diagnosed with a thyroid
disorder, lupus and fluid in her heart,
insurance revoked her coverage on
the grounds that she had an undis-
la Buffett Cancer Center at the University of Nebraska Medical Center,
delivered the commencement address. Chancellor Ronnie Green presided over the ceremony.
The graduates are from 37 states
and 43 countries.
How to help kids transition back to the classroom
As a new school year draws nearer,
parents can employ several strategies
to help their kids readjust to the rigors of the classroom.
The dawn of a new school year
is an exciting time. Kids may not
want to say goodbye to days spent
lounging by the pool, but such disappointment is often tempered by the
prospect of returning to school with
friends.
For parents, getting kids ready for
a new school year is about more than
updating their wardrobe or organizing carpools with fellow parents.
Reacclimating kids to the routine of
school after a relaxing summer is a
significant undertaking, and the following are a handful of ways for parents to get a head start as the school
year draws closer.
* Establish a routine over the last
few weeks of summer. Summer vacations typically lack the structure
of the school year, and that lack of
structure can help kids unwind and
make the most of the freedom that
summer vacation provides. But as
summer starts to wind down, parents
can begin to reintroduce some structure into their kids’ lives to make the
transition back to school go more
smoothly. Plan morning activities so
kids can readjust to waking up early
each day. In addition, serve breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same
time you typically serve it during the
school year so kids’ bodies can begin
to readjust as well.
* Take kids along when shopping
for school supplies. If you plan to
buy your child a new computer or
other supplies for the upcoming
school year, take him or her along on
your shopping trips. Kids who get to
choose their supplies might be more
excited about returning to school
than those youngsters who are given what they need without offering
their input.
* Monitor or assign summer reading. Many students are given summer reading lists to keep their minds
sharp over the summer and prepare
them for upcoming coursework. Parents should monitor kids’ progress
on such reading lists and even discuss the books with their kids when
possible. Read the books along with
them if you think it will help engage
them. If kids were not assigned summer reading lists at the end of the
school year, assign your own books,
rewarding kids when they finish a
new book. Kids who read throughout the summer may be more likely to start the school year off on the
right foot than those who don’t crack
a book all summer.
* Encourage kids to sign up for
extracurricular activities. Many
school-aged athletes get a head start
on the new school year by trying out
for sports teams. Such tryouts often
commence a week or two before a
school year is scheduled to begin,
and this can help kids ease their way
back into the school year. But even
nonathletes can begin pursuing extracurricular activities before the
first school bell of the year rings.
Theater programs may begin auditions or encourage interested youngsters to attend orientation meetings
before the dawn of the school year,
and such sessions can be a great and
pressure-free way for kids to ready
themselves for a new school year.
The arrival of a new school year
can be both exciting and daunting.
But parents can help their youngsters
readjust to school in various ways after a relaxing summer.

By Brenda Schmitt, Suzanne
Bartholomae and Laura Sternweis,
Iowa State University Outreach
and Extension
AMES, Iowa – As the state’s older
population continues to increase,
many Iowans eventually will be
providing some level of care for an
elderly parent or relative. Although
taking on that caregiving role may
have an emotional benefit, it also
may have a negative financial impact, if the caregiver has to take time
off from paid work or quit working
altogether.
That’s why Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is piloting “Finances of Caregiving,” a
program to help Iowans protect their
own long-term financial security as
they plan for taking on a caregiving
role.
According to IowaAging.gov,
about 350,000 Iowans are informal
family caregivers. “Providing care
does not always mean that the person lives with you,” said Brenda
Schmitt, a human sciences specialist in family finance with ISU Extension and Outreach. “It may mean
that you provide transportation or
other services for someone who still
lives in his or her own home. For
most working Iowans, this requires
flexible work schedules or using
personal leave days, sometimes
without pay,” Schmitt said.
“When making the decision
whether to leave work or reduce
your work hours to become a caregiver for an aging parent or other
relative in need of constant care, you
have several areas to consider. How
will it affect your current spending
plan? How will it affect your retirement? Losing a couple years of
contributions when you’re near retirement may not make a big difference in your account balance. But,
the longer you have until you plan to
retire, the greater the impact on your
retirement savings,” Schmitt said.
Caregiving has financial risks,
said Suzanne Bartholomae, a family finance state extension specialist and adjunct associate professor
in human development and family
studies. “Family caregivers absorb
many costs and may have reduced
income and retirement savings as
a result of their caregiving responsibilities. One research study found
that caregivers spent an average of
$8,000 of their own money on longterm care-related expenses. Iowa
caregivers can protect their own financial security through planning
and understanding their options,”
Bartholomae said.
That’s where “Finances of Caregiving” comes in. ISU Extension
and Outreach started with an earlier curriculum – “What Every Adult
Child Should Know,” developed by
Celia R Hayhoe and the National
Endowment for Financial Education
– and adapted and updated it for use
in Iowa. The five-week program involves face-to-face group workshops
combined with learning online.
In the first lesson, participants
begin to document their own financial situation. They also take a look
at the finances of the person for
whom they are or will be providing
care, to see what resources might be
available to pay for that care.
Next, participants begin to organize legal documents for the person
receiving care, so that as the caregiver they can make necessary financial and medical decisions. They
also can lay the groundwork to be
paid for providing care, if resources
are available.

As the program continues, participants examine the financial implications of caregiving that specifically will affect their retirement. In
addition, they learn about communication techniques they can use with
their families when discussing these
difficult issues. “Some people think
they can’t get it all done, but you
work at your own pace,” Schmitt
said.
Another round of “Finances of
Caregiving” pilots will begin this
fall, and Bartholomae expects pilots
to continue through 2017. This is an
example of research in action, she
said. ISU Extension and Outreach
specialists will be evaluating the
pilots as they progress to determine
the most effective way to make the
program available statewide.
“Family members are a key partner in the long-term care of older
adults. They often provide care support and services when no formal
service is available. Care and support provided by family members is
essential to maintaining the health
and well-being of Iowa families and
communities,” Bartholomae said.
For more information about “Finances of Caregiving,” contact any
ISU Extension and Outreach county
office to get in touch with a human
sciences specialist in family finance.

the gym will be able to be used. Hill
has begun adjusting schedules so
that the loss of the gym will be addressed during volleyball season.
Carlson reported that back to school
night would be held August 23rd
from 5:30-6:30 with staff and administration present. Phelps will start a
new tradition that he has carried out
at the other schools he has worked
out. There will be a flag raising
ceremony at 8:15 for upper grades
on August 24 and then he will meet
with the students. This is a tradition
that has always showed a positive
impact at other districts and hopes
are that it will become a tradition at
Keota as well. The next board meeting will be held September 8 at 6:30
in the library.
