There was a vigorous attempt to induce the Day-ton City Council to approve a $100,000 loan for a secondDayton medical clinic at a special meeting Wednesday,Jan. 27.

Council member Kendra Breitsprecher at the endof the meeting made a motion to approve the $100,000loan but no other council member would second the mo-tion. The motion died for lack of a second.

The loan, as presented, would have been guar-anteed by the City of Dayton. Other businesses/institu-tions would not guarantee the loan. There were two primary proponents of the loan:Kendra Breitsprecher and Meredith Gallentine. Both areofficers in the Dayton Community Club. Answering theiraccusations and concerns was Community Health Centerof Dayton CEO Renae Kruckenberg. Kendra Breitsprecher stated that Renae Kruck-enberg would never return my phone calls and why isthat? Because you are rude, answered Krucken-berg. Breitsprecher launched into a tirade of questionsand comments directed at the CEO. Kruckenberg an-swered questions when she could. Sometimes she said

that certain codes/laws prevented her from answeringsome of the areas addressed. Meredith Gallentine, president of Communi-ty Club, had a long list of concerns about CommunityHealth Clinic of Dayton. She opened by challenging astory in the Dayton Review on the $100,000 loan to beguaranteed by the City of Dayton as misleading. That story was printed after talking with twocouncil members, two Dayton clinic board members,City Clerk Randy Danielson but most importantly afterphone interviews with CEO Renae Kruckenberg, the onlyadministrative expert involved in this bizarre situation. Furthermore, because of the short timespan,complexity, and mammoth implications, the Re-view did send a copy of the story to Renae for accuracyas it pertained to Community Health Center. Renae read

the story, then had their attorney read the story, and she e-mailed back one change. She wanted one sentence omit-ted. Is that sentence accurate? she was asked. Yes, it is accurate, she affirmed. If we omitted these two words would this beokay? She basically didnt want attribution on one sen-tence. Yes, that would be fine she said. Meredith mentioned many things she thought

were not done properly or were problems of wrongdoingby Community Health Center. Meredith had the longestpresentation and a few other people also mentioned theircomplaints about Community Health Center of Dayton. There were complaints about the clinic not hav-ing copier toner for a week, that they were out of papersometimes, and were lacking in other supplies.

Renae affirmed that the clinic generally has a

one-day turn-around time on supplies. The supplies caneither be secured the next day at Fort Dodge (CommunityHealth Center of Fort Dodge) and driven to Dayton orthey can be ordered with delivery generally on the nextday. There was a complaint about Community HealthCenter running out of flu vaccine. Even Unity Point ran out of flu vaccine, saidRenae. It was mentioned by one person that CommunityHealth Center didnt have a nurse practitioner for a brieftime. Our nurse practitioner Shari Buske called insick one day and we couldnt fine an immediate replace-ment for her, stated Renae, CEO for Community HealthCenter of Fort Dodge and Dayton. If you get this second

medical clinic, and have one nurse practitioner, you willhave the same problem. Many complaints were fairly trivial. Therewerent major health concerns about care given for ex-ample. Renae was articulate, forthcoming, and very co-operative. The CEO explained the operations of Com-munity Health Center of Dayton in elaborate detail.Sometimes she wasnt able to respond because there aregovernment restrictions in some areas. She emphasized that Community Health Centerof Dayton will continue to operate in Dayton. She saidthat Community Health Center of Dayton is open Mon-day, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.There is a full staff, including a nurse practitioner, presenton Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.

There is a partial staff on Thursday. CommunityHealth is currently seeking a nurse practitioner for thisone day. Renae also mentioned that Community HealthCenter provided her with an assistant at the home officein the summer of 2015. Renae will have more time forthe challenging, ever-changing health care business.

Dayton taxpayers win after $100,000loan for second medical clinic is deniedBecause you are rude. . .

Wednesday, Feb. 3, 20162 Dayton Review

The Southeast Valley boys defeated PocahontasArea 73-71 in a thriller Tuesday, Jan. 26, in Gowrie. The Jags led by seven at the half, 39-32, but theIndians rallied in the second half to make it a very closecontest. The Pocahontas Area Indians were ranked highin the state and are one of the top teams in the area. Poky, with some tall players in the paint, didout-rebound the Jaguars which is unusual. The Jaguarshad only 22 rebounds in the game. But the Jaguars are a great ball handling teamand they play defense well. The Jaguars had 18 assistsand 14 steals which more than compensated for the re-bounding stats. The Jaguars were also good in the scoring sta-tistics. They made an incredible nine of 21 three rangeattempts; were a respectable 14-19 on the line; and made25 of 55 field goal attempts. The Jaguars did struggle a bit against a tall andtalented Pocahontas team as the Jags committed 24 fouls.None of the Jags fouled out but two players, starters Lo-gan Boerner and Alex Pliner, ended the game with fourfouls.

With some players in foul trouble, the Jaguarsutilized their bench, and the bench players came through.Junior Keegan Goodwin came off the bench to score 11points, third best, on 4-5 shooting. He was 2-3 from threerange.

Sophomore Caleb Jondle also came off thebench to score eight points (fourth highest), on 3-5 shoot-ing and was 2-2 from three range. Having an outstanding game once again wasConner Conrad, the leading scorer with 33. He had avery good game with 10-24 in shooting; 10-12 from theline; seven boards, seven assists, and six steals. He led

the team in the latter two categories. Junior Dakota Jaeschke was second in scoringwith 14 on 6-10 shooting and 2-2 from three range. Healso had seven boards.

Other contributors were Alex Pliner 2 points,Myles Davis 2 points, Logan Boerner 2 points, and CadeKing 1 point.

The Jaguars Varsity record is now 14-2 as theywon their 12th consecutive game.

Jaguars make comebackbut fall short, 73-68;Jags record at 14-3

Despite a good comeback effort Friday nightagainst Graettinger-Terrill/Ruthven-Ayrshire the South-

east Valley Jaguar boys lost a close one 73-68 at theBurnside gym.

This was one of the home game played atBurnside and it was only the third loss of the year for theJaguars who are now 14-3. It was the first loss for theJaguars since the third game of the season. Southeast Valley started slow and didnt playtheir best in the first half as GTRA had a 36-25 lead. Butthe Jags mounted a comeback and narrowed the deficit tofive points at the end of the game. The leading scorers for the Jaguars were Con-ner Conrad, 25; Dakota Jaeschke, 16; Logan Boerner,11,; and Myles Davis, 8. Other scorers were Cade King 3;Keegan Goodwin, 3; and Caleb Jondle, 2.

Conrad was 10-11 at the line and had eightboards. Jaeschke led in steals with four, had seven from

the boards and was 7-13 in field goal attempts. Logan Boerner contributed four assists and was2-3 from three range. Myles Davis, along with his eight points, was2-5 from three range. The Jaguars were behind 17-9 after the firstquarter and were never able to take the lead despite a nicecomeback in the second half. Graettinger-Terrill was another ranked team andwhile the Jaguars have done well against ranked teams,they couldnt quite pull it together Friday night. The Jags still have a great chance to finish strongin conference. There is one remaining game before play-offs begin.

Remember...

More drama, more expenses,and it is just beginning!

Wake up Dayton, Webster County!

How much will it cost Dayton taxpayers to haveKendra Breitsprecher on the Dayton City Council? She was not even on the City council for onemonth and she was supporting a $100,000 loan (guaran-teed by the City of Dayton) for a second medical clinic inDayton. She was the lone person on the city council whovoted for authorizing that guaranteed loan. There are going to be conflicts of interest galorefor Mrs. Breitsprecher, owner of the Dayton Leader. Sheis seeking to be named the official newspaper for Daytonand at the January Dayton City Council meeting the votewas 2-2. She couldnt vote because of an obvious con-flict of interest. Beth Wickwire and Michelle Stapp voted in fa-vor of the Dayton Leader as official city of Dayton news-

paper. Council members Kevin Diehl and Kevin Lambertvoted for the Dayton Review. The matter will finalized atthe Wednesday, Feb. 10 meeting. At the January meeting, because of the tie vote, the council approved a measurecalling for the Dayton Review and Dayton Leader to bidon the legals. This is certainly not ethical, nor is it legalaccording to one Iowa Legal Hotline attorney. But he ischecking into it. In the meantime the Webster County Boardof Supervisors is having the County Attorneys officespending dozens of hours of work because of the DaytonLeader. How much is this costing taxpayers? We willfind out eventually. But that legal work may be only be-ginning. But people forget that there is history to ponder.While Kendra Breitsprecher stated that the Dayton Re-view cost taxpayers a few thousand dollars because of thespecial election in December, what about all of the abovecosts? And how much did it cost our school districtwhen it forced Kendra to retire about seven years ago asa school teacher? It wasnt cheap. Faced with a scandalregarding Kendra, the school district basically asked forher resignation. In return, our school district, SoutheastWebster Grand, agreed to give her a big check.

Whats happened in the past (during her teach-ing days)and now is basically this: People know she hasproblems, but many people rationalize her behavior.And in the meantime there is continual drama, high costsfor everyone, and painful experiences, but one person isindeed happy. Guess who?

Opinion:

The Dayton City Council did not approve a$100,000 loan for a second medical clinic in Dayton at aspecial meeting Wednesday night in Dayton. Kendra Breitsprecher did make a motion to ap-prove the $100,000 loan but none of the other four coun-cil members would second the motion. Therefore theproposal was defeated. It was a bizarre situation. Community HealthCenter of Dayton, despite losing a good nurse practitioner(Shari Buske), was committed to continuing the clinic inDayton. But a group in Dayton were proposing to starta second medical clinic in Dayton. No bank or other in-stitution would approve any type of loan of course, sincea viable clinic was already here. So this Dayton group,which included one council member, wanted to start asecond clinic after securing a loan that would be guaran-teed by the City of Dayton. Fortunately, City of Dayton taxpayers weresaved $100,000 at a minimum. Chances are that thegroup would have gone back to the city for more tax dol-lars since $100,000 isnt sufficient to start/retain a medi-cal clinic. Renae Kruckenburg, CEO of Community HealthService, explained in lengthly detail many of the intrica-cies that confront medical clinics. She was eloquent andfactual. Bolstered by federal dollars that support the cur-rent clinic (one of only seven in the state), CommunityHealth Center had definite advantages over any new, in-dependent clinic. Shari Buske did make a few brief state-

ents mentioning a few mistakes of her former clinic.

1937 restaurant menu

from Treloars uncovered. . . Al Ekstrom, Lehigh, likes to check out garagesales, auctions, and other events/businesses that have his-torical items for sale. Al likes nostalgia and recently hesecured a menu from Treloars Chicken Inn that operatedin Fort Dodge from 1928 to 1976. Treloars was located on North 15th Street, thecurrent location of Village Inn. The menu Al managed tobuy was dated March 25, 1937. The menu certainly hasmany interesting items and prices. A fried spring chicken dinner was on the menufor 50 cents in 1937. The dinner included chicken, shoe-string or waffle fried potatoes, bread and butter, saladdill pickle, coffee or milk or iced tea. A barbecue rib dinner was also 50 cents and aBig T-bone steak dinner was 65 cents.

A chicken sandwich was 15 cents; tuna sand-wich, 15 cents; hot tomales and chili, 15 cents; bacon-tomato sandwich, 15 cents. A bottle of pop was five cents and coffee wasalso a nickle. Treloars was known for chicken, ribs and bakedbeans. The business consisted of an inn, drive-up restau-rant, and there were car hops.

The business started in 1928 and survived firesin 1956, 1957, and 1969. After the business closed thebuildings were demolished in 1977. The current VillageInn was constructed on the site in 1981. There is now a framed display of memorabiliaof Treloars inside the Village Inn. In 1937 Treloars had this phone number: Aus-tin 1355.

The menu said this: We do not sell beer--butwe will try our best to please you in food and servicealways. You can help us by reporting to the managementany dissatisfaction or discourteous service. The statement on the bottom front page of theTreloars menu concluded by stating: We intend to op-erate the year round and will welcome constructive criti-cism as to service, food and management.

The mind does wonder so Im not sure wherethis one came from. Perhaps I was watching a retro TVmovie or ??? Perhaps it was some modern music thatmade me remember some of my time. I started takingpiano lessons in 1938 or 1939 and was at the age where I

was developing a liking for the popular music of that day.It was probably a few years later that I finally got to ordera couple pieces of popular sheet music from the Sears &Roebuck catalog. Yes, they did sell about everything andif my memory is correct they cost approximately 35 centseach. The royalties must have been minute on those days. Those pieces of music were Dont Fence MeIn and South of the Border, both leaning toward theCowboy genre. The best known singer/artist for both hadbeen Gene Autry. Eddie Arnold and Roy Rogers mayhave made their records of them too; at least did them ontheir radio programs/appearances and maybe movies. Ididnt get to see many movies at the time. Perhaps that iswhy I enjoyed their TV programs with my children whenthey finally advanced to that entertainment venue. Are there any readers who remember the song

group Sons of the Pioneers? They primarily did country/western type music and both sang in close harmony andplayed instruments. One of the original sons was RoyRogers who was known then by his birth name, LeonardSlye. When he got into acting and doing his cowboymovies and TV that name just didnt fit so he becameRoy Rogers.

When he and his wife, Dale Evans, had theirTV program I noted one thing which seemed confusingand didnt fit in but gave good fun too and that wasNellybelle, Pat Bradys WWII type jeep that was al-ways conking out at the wrong time. The children neverquestioned it even though otherwise the program seemedmore like the turn of the century with old west settings,ranch, town, people, etc.

Roy rode his famous horse, Trigger and Dale had

Buttermilk and their dog, Bullet, was trotting along withthem. Back at the ranch their old buddy, Gabby Hayes,was doing all sorts of ranch chores and adding his ownform of comedy. Each show was basically the same, badguys doing bad things, looks like theyll get away with itand may even bring harm to someone, but Roy and Dalecome along to save the day and Pat, eager to help, headsout in Nellybelle but Nellybelle doesnt always performas she should. However, everything comes out okay inthe end and the bad guys are caught and disaster avoided. Our closest friends had children in the same agegroup as we did. Their daughter, Robin, about four or fiveyears old always said she wanted to be Roy Rogers (not

The trails are still leading us...Dale) when she grew up. Roy and Dale (in real life)were known for their caring and kind heartedness. Royeven sang some with the Sons of the Pioneers and in laterlife did go with them on some of their gigs, so it wasreported. The personnel of that group changed over the

years and they travelled around the country. It had to beIn the 80s that the Sons were the feature show at thethen local Ingersoll dinner theater. My friend and I andanother couple attended that show. Those boys wereeven aging (many of originals having already met theirmaker) but they still had the same sound. They said thatin later times at their shows they would sometimes callRoy and he would talk to them long distance, the phonecall amplified to be heard by the audience but he was nolonger able to do even that. One of the still signaturesongs was sung, Tumblin Tumble Weeds soundingmuch the same as we recalled from earlier years and ofcourse, Roy and Dales theme song at the end, HappyTrails to you, until we meet again --- a bit of a tear

jerker to those of us who more or less grew up with RoyRogers.

Gene Autry, too, had a TV show but it appar-ently hasnt taken the prominence in my memory bankthat Roy and Dale did or maybe its because he was notas popular with my children. When he sang DontFence Me In he had that cowboy twang to his voicethat was expected of the Western pictures singers. Giveme land, lots of land under starry skies above---- Dontfence me in. That was what we were given to believeall people who went west wanted lots of land and free-dom. He also had another favorite, South of the Bor-der. I dont remember all the words now but it contin-ued, down Mexico way, probably leading to finding apretty senorita. So, I grew up on songs that had memorablemelodies and words and you could understand them.Even the crooners a bit later, Sinatra, Crosby, Como ---

sang songs that soon had one humming and singing toyourself or with others. Those were some of my goodold days. Children of today would probably laugh or atleast tee hee a bit to hear some of those old ditties nowbut then they will remember their music as fondly. Oh,we had some doozies too Three little fishies, in anitty bitty pool and they fam and they fam all over thedam. Boop boop, dit-em dat-em wa-tem choo. Yeah,I remember Kay Kyser (a guy) and Ish Kabible who hadthe bangs haircut way before the Beatles. Hang in there a few more years and entertain-ment and music will change again.

Prior to the Dayton City Council decision notto guarantee a $100,000 at a special meeting Jan. 27, theDayton Review interviewed Community Health CenterCEO Renae Kruckenberg. It didnt seem right. The City of Dayton wasbeing asked to guarantee a $100,000 loan for the medicalclinic in Dayton. I called Community Health Center two weeksago and asked for CEO Renae Kruckenburg. Why doesCommunity Health Center of Dayton need a $100,000loan? Are you having problems? I asked her. That loan isnt for us, she said. It is for a sec-ond medical clinic in Dayton. And then she mentioneda story in the Dayton Leader which discussed the reasonsfor needing another clinic. But your clinic name is being used in a legalpublished in the Dayton Review seeking a $100,000 loanguarantee, I persisted. Please forward that legal, she said. The legal seemingly identified our current clinicas being the recipient of the $100,000 loan. The legalstated that the City of Dayton would be guaranteeing a$100,000 loan to Dayton Community Health Center.The clinic in Dayton is Community Health Center ofDayton. It was very confusing to say the least.

What are your intentions for the Dayton Clin-ic? I asked Renae. There were some rumors about theirclinic leaving Dayton. We will continue to have a clinic in Dayton,Renae asserted. We are committed to continue our clin-ic in Dayton.

Later in an e-mail to the Dayton Review Renaeemphasized that point by stating, I would like to stress

that Community Health Center of Dayton is committed tohelping the patients of Dayton and the surrounding com-munities. Nurse practitioner Shari Buske had given her90-day notice to Community Health Center and her lastday was in late December.

Do you have adequate staff for CommunityHealth Center in Dayton? We have three nurse practitioners who areproviding health care in Dayton, Renae said. And ourother staff members have remained. She noted that Community Health Center inDayton was open four days per week, 8-5 p.m. On threeof those days (Monday, Tuesday and Friday) there is anurse practitioner. We have staff at the clinic on Thurs-day but we dont have a nurse practitioner for that oneday, she stated. We are working to find a nurse practi-tioner for that Thursday.

Why is second clinicbeing proposed in Dayton?

I asked Renae Kruckenburg this ques-tion. She gave me her thoughts (which are off the record). But one thing is clear. The people behind a sec-ond clinic in Dayton want control. And that should be ascary thought for everyone.

Nearly identical clinic namesconfusing; three NPs on dutyCommunity Health Center remains loyal to Dayton. . .

With the Iowa Legislators talking about largerschool districts. I started thinking about the first schools.The Country School and my experience as a ruralteacher. After arriving at school the first job was toget the fire started in the old-fashioned pot belly stove.Enough coal had to be carried in from an outside buildingto last for the day. Sometimes an older pupil would help.Next on the agenda was bringing in a large pail of drink-ing water. When snow covered the ground, a path had tobe shoveled to the outhouses. The most despicable jobwas trying to keep the out-houses clean. Usually a teacher had pupils in all the eightgrades. At the end of the year, the eighth graders had to

pass the county exams.

To me, it was a thrill when a child couldread his or her first primer and it was also a great ex-perience for the parents. The recitation Bench,placed in front of the room, was perhaps the most im-portant piece of furniture in the room. The pupils wouldcome up to the bench when their class was called andthe teacher and students would discuss the subject. Therest of the boys and girls in the room would often listenin and thereby soak up extra information. Often a classwould get so interesting that time would be forgotten andrecess delayed. During recess, the teacher got her exercise alongwith the students as she joined them in playing Pump,Pump Pull Away, Anti-Over, Frying Pan, Picking

Up Sticks, Tap and other games. During the winter, sliding and sledding in thesnow were the most fun. Many teachers were judged bythe kind of Christmas program she planned. This wasquite a social event in those days. Hours were spent onpractice and getting the school cleaned and decorated.The program usually included recitations, songs andplays. The county superintendent, who was in chargeof the country school, often visited and caused the teachera few anxious moments. One wondered How is he judg-ing me? or Do my plan books meet with his approval?All in all, he was helpful in many ways. The schools where I taught (two were on high-way 169) have all been torn down but the many happymemories of the one-room country school cannot be

torn from my heart.

FFA DayWednesday was FFA Day at the Capitol.We had a great groupfrom Boone and agreat group from Gil-bert come down frommy district. It was achance to visit with ourfuture leaders and theyeven had an idea for ad-vancing the GovernorsSTEM Initiative. Theythought if we added Ag

in the STEM basic components, we could have STEAMand that would be even more powerful.

That seemed really clever to me, and severalother senators who heard it, so we took the idea to theGovernor. Much to our surprise, he had already heard ofthe idea and it was proposed to him to add Arts as well.So we will see. Maybe there is STEAM in the future . . .

Education funding remains an important issue The Supplemental State Aid bill (SSA) is now

moving to a Conference Committee to negotiate newmoney in education funding for next year. House Repub-licans passed a 2 percent increase in SSA on Monday,and the Senate took up that bill Wednesday morning withSenate Democrats wanting 4 percent. The difference of2 percent is nearly $143 million. Now, negotiations canbegin between Republicans and Democrats from bothchambers. Republicans are committed to providing ourchildren a world-class education system. We look for-ward to discussing education at great lengths this leg-islative session. However, we must ensure we keep ourpromises and budget responsibly when it comes to edu-cation. There is too much at stake for Iowa children andtaxpayers if we over-promise and under-deliver on thosecommitments. It is essential we can keep our word to

school districts.Six times since Fiscal Year 2002 to the tune of

nearly $600 million, the Legislature has failed childrenwith its overpromising on allowable growth. Look nofurther than 2010. The Legislature passed 4 percent al-lowable growth, which resulted in the buck being passedto local property taxpayers. Even worse, not being able to

Renewable Chemical Tax Credit Program (SSB 3001) The Economic Growth Committee listened topresentations Tuesday on a proposed Renewable Chemi-cal Tax Credit program. A subcommittee met Janu-ary 14, but did not offer its support to move the SenateStudy Bill 3001 forward at that time. The subcommitteerequested more information be obtained before movingforward with the bill. The committee learned more this week about theproposed plan, which would be administered by the Eco-nomic Development Authority. Director Durham fromthe Iowa Economic Development Authority, Dr. Shanksfrom Iowa State University, as well as two market par-ticipants presented to the committee. Presentations fo-cused how this bill will benefit the economic growth ofIowa, how certain products will and will not qualify forthe credit, and other areas that need work in order to bringbiochemical companies to Iowa.Under SSB 3001, the tax credit is 5 cents per pound ofrenewable chemicals produced in the state. New busi-nesses can get up to one million dollars in tax credits.Established businesses, which have been in the state for

ore than five years, can get up to $500,000 in tax cred-its.

Iowa has a successful history of supportingemerging bio-based markets. Using income tax dataalone, the payback period on the $61.7 million Iowa in-vested to start up the ethanol industry was only two years.There is no reason why this program cannot achieve simi-lar results.

Credits are refundable and non-transferrable.Companies can apply and receive these credits only fivetimes or five years. This bill puts the program under thecap for all IEDA tax credit programs. The credits avail-able under this program are $10 million each year for the10 years of program. SSB 3001 could prove very advantageous ingrowing Iowas economy. Agriculture plays a key role inIowas economy in addition to supporting Iowas robustbiofuel sector. However, the industry has taken its lumpsin the last several months due to lagging livestock andcommodity prices. Iowa is in a prime position for thesebiochemical companies to invest our state due to the fol-

lowing: Iowa ranks first in corn production and secondin soybean production, has the second largest supply ofbiomass at 14.4 million dry tons per year, leads the nationin ethanol production with 43 facilities, and ranks secondin biodiesel production.

Agricultural states throughout the country, andespecially Midwest states, will compete for these bio-chemical companies to locate in their state. This programcould solidify Iowas position as the leading biochemicalproducing state in the country.

House Passes Increased Funding for EducationThe House this week passed a proposed increase

of $143.1 million in state aid to schools for the 2016/17school year. This is a 2% increase in the per-pupilamount sent from the state to school districts, increasingthe states portion of the per pupil cost from $6446 to$6575, a $129 increase. The House made these efforts in only the secondweek of the session. In recognition of the need for schoolsto set their budgets in the next few months, the EducationCommittee pushed the bill out of committee last week

aking it eligible for Floor debate on Monday.

The increase pushes the total state spending onK-12 education to just shy of $3.1 billion. Coupled withincreases over the past 5 years, House Republicans haveincreased school aid by nearly $650 million. The $143.1 million increase includes $53.4 mil-lion for the Teacher Leadership program, making it thesecond year in the 3-year ramp-up investment in thistransformative reform initiative. It also includes $9.2 mil-lion meant to relief the pressure on property tax payers byhaving the state pick up the property tax increase that ispart of the school funding formula. Additionally, a 2% increase provides additionalproperty tax relief by taking 38 districts off the BudgetAdjustment, a local option property tax levy designed tohelp districts dealing with declining enrollment. This is a$4 million reduction in property taxes over last year.

The proposal on the table from the Senate is a4% increase, which equals a $227.9 million increase instate aid. Available additional revenues over last yearsspending equal just over $153 million. A 4% increaseviolates the budget principles the House has abided bysince 2011, specifically spending more than the statetakes in. The Senate rejected the Houses 2% proposalafter receiving it meaning the two chambers will cometogether in a conference committee to find a final consen-sus.Fighting for taxpayers, providing certainty HF 2092 unanimously passed the House this

orning making income tax revisions enacted by Con-gress in 2015 applicable for Iowa Income tax purposes.Who benefits from HF 2092?

Small businesses are the drivers of our econo-y. This bill is the only proposal that helps them makeinvestments in their businesses so they can grow and cre-ate even more jobs in our communities. Teachers will be able to deduct out-of-pocketexpenses related to classroom supplies. Seniors will be able to give tax-free contribu-tions to qualifying charitable organizations. Homeowners will be able to deduct mortgageinsurance, just like they would mortgage insurance, justlike they would mortgage interest, keeping more moneyin their pockets to spend in their communities. Parents and students will be able to deduct qual-ifying higher education expenses, reducing the cost ofcollege and continuing education.Check Your Permit to Carry Before Traveling Out of

StateLaw abiding Iowans have the freedom to carry their fire-arms in many places across the state. When Iowa becamea shall issue state in 2011, thousands of Iowans ap-plied and received a permit to carry their firearms. While

ost permit holders are aware of Iowa carry laws, itsimportant to remember that an Iowa permit to carry doesnot necessarily give you the right to carry in surroundingstates. Knowing where you can and cannot legally carry a

firearm will help protect you from potential legal troublein the future. If youre an Iowan, with a nonprofessional per-mit to carry you can travel to South Dakota, Nebraska,Missouri and Wisconsin with your permit and legallycarry your firearm. While the laws of each state vary,you can freely carry as long as you have your permit, andabide by the laws of the state you are visiting. State lawsvary greatly and anyone traveling out of state with theirfirearm is advised to check the specific laws of the state.

Dayton Review

Kehoe explains CASEprogram at Praire ValleySchool Board meetingHeating problem noted. . .

Mr. Kehoe discussed the progress of the CASEprogram, Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education.Kehoe explained CASE was initiated as part of the STEM(science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) ini-tiative. About a third of the agricultural education pro-grams in the state unitize CASE.

Incorporating this program is a great way tosecure a quality agriculture education teacher down theroad, said Kehoe. By following this program, we securethe curriculum and equipment for current and future stu-dents. Kehoe humorously reminded the board and staffpresent that he took one for the team, so to speak, andthat attending a recent training session in Brooking, SouthDakota, required accomodations on a not-so-comfortablebunk bed. It led to a Walmart run for an air mattress. So this is why we may someday need a youngerAg teacher? questioned Miller, jokingly.Backpack program The status of the districts, Backpack program wasdiscussed. According to board member, Kathy Carlson,

the application process has changed. Pre-assembled bagswill be sent to the elementary school, and will be distrib-uted to program participants. She suggested the programwill be up and running soon. Lisa Willardson reported that attempts have beenmade to avoid mistakes in substitute teacher daily logs andbilling. Were thrilled about the new time card arrange-ment, she offered.Heating problem Shannon Miller advised the board he did a walk-thru of the elementary recently to investigate claims theheating is not being adequately dispersed through thebuilding. Its cold in some rooms and hot in others, hesaid.

It was reported that students in Mrs. Samuelsonssecond grade class are advised to wear jackets in the room

until the problem is resolved. Just a heads up, he re-minded the board. There might be a bill coming. Mr. Duncan updated the board on the PBIS pro-gram (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports).This program helps students to identify and practice prop-er behavior in the hallways, on the bus, and while play-ing games in P.E. Mr. Duncan also teaches a curriculumcalled Kelsos Choices which helps students problemsolve amongst themselves. In conclusion, Jim Henrich discussed observa-tions completed to record teacher progress. The observa-tions are utilized to identify the degree of student engage-ment in various types of learning situations. Observerschart what they observe most of the students doing. Heexplained that the results are a bit skewed as study hallswere mistakenly included in the observations, and there is

not a lot of student engagement in this type of situation.

Kendra Breitsprecher dominated the questioningamong city council members. At times it was difficult tofigure out who she was representing, Community Clubor the Dayton Leader. She certainly wasnt representingDayton taxpayers. And just how are you going to announce yourhours to the public? Kendra asked Renae, noting thatCommunity Club was no longer paying for advertisingfor Community Health Center. We will be advertising in the Dayton Review,Renae said.

Minutes later Kendra was schmoozing Renae.It suddenly appeared that she went from drill sergeant/prosecuting attorney to Mr. (Mrs) Rogers on public tele-vision. Council members Beth Wickwire and MichelleStapp were dubious about approving the $100,000 loan(guaranteed by the City of Dayton) at the end of the spe-cial meeting. Wickwire noted the federal governments finan-cial support for Community Health Center and also saidthat Community Health Center had experience on thebusiness/administrative side.

Michelle stated that $100,000 wasnt sufficientcapital to launch a new clinic. She also thought Com-munity Health Center had many d
