Who said there’s nothing to do in Woodbine???

There is a commonsaying about Twinervolunteerism: “If youask, they will come.”

It was that samecooperative spirit thatshined through onWoodbine’s applicationto apply to be a BlueZones Community forIowa.

On April 4, Woodbineleaders learned that ourcity is one of 10 Iowacommunities under

10,000 in populationchosen by WellmarkBlue Cross and BlueShield, Des Moines, foran upcoming site visiton the insurance compa-ny’s Blue Zones Project.

Deb Sprecker, projectdirector for theWoodbine Main Street –Chamber, one of thegroup’s that has beenspearheading a multi-month effort to earnWoodbine a berth as aBlue Zones community,said Wellmark officialsare still finalizing details

but plan on a June visit.“Going forward, the

first step will be plan-ning the Site Visit,”Sprecker said. “Once adate has been fixed, theWoodbine CommittedBlue Zones SteeringCommittee will be call-ing on the community toassist with variousaspects of the visit.”

Sprecker saidWellmark Blue Zones'representative, MaryLynch, said the site visitformat will includeleaders (traditional and

non-traditional, electedofficials, neighborhoodleaders, etc.) and repre-sentatives of all demo-graphic sectors who can‘get stuff done.’

“Lynch stated thevisit would probably befour- to five-hours inlength, but they are stillpulling together theintended format, so staytuned,” Sprecker said.“The committee will becalling for volunteers aswe learn more about theprocess.”

site visit in June. Twiners threading their individual strengths into one focused effort proved successful once again.

The annual trave-liowa.com website Wel-come Center Survey ishot off the presses withgood news for HarrisonCounty.

According to the re-port, 47 percent of thetravelers stopping at theHarrison County Wel-come Center are inter-ested in the scenic by-ways in the area. That isdouble the number ofthe 23 percent state-wide.

According to Harr-ison County Develop-ment Director, ReneaAnderson, there are alarge number of peoplethat now want to get outand enjoy nature.

“They want to hikeand bike in the By-ways,” Anderson said.“We have public acresfor visitors and manylove to go to the top ofMurray Hill. They wantto have an experience;they just don’t want tobe ‘shown’ things. Theywant to get out in nat-ure and that works wellfor the Welcome Center,especially since theyjust opened a trail.”

If you hadn’t noticedyet, this spring has start-ed off on the unseason-ably warm side. March2012 enters the climatehistory books as thewarmest March on re-cord, and as a result, weare seeing a two- orthree-week early morelmushroom season, anearly asparagus harvest,wild violets and lilacsblooming, and fruit treesflowering. This “earlyonset” of spring shouldmake us examine differ-ent practices to makesure we do ones that aretime-sensitive on time.

Nature is a wonder-fully diverse thing. Eachc l i m a t e - d e p e n d e n tspecies is driven by aunique set of factors to

determine when theybreak buds, flower ordrop leaves in the fall.One activity that appearsto be affected by theearly spring is the propertime to look for and, ifnecessary, treat some

spruces, especially Colo-rado blue spruce, for afungal disease of theneedles called Rhizo-shpaera needle cast.(OK, just call it spruceneedle cast!) .

Most of the issueswith conifers are pre-dictable. Most conifer di-sease issues lie withthree species – Austrianpine (Pinus nigra), Scot’spine (Pinus sylvestris)and Colorado blue

spruce (Picea glauca).The prime time for dis-ease development anddecline is when the treesreach sexual maturity,generally about 10- to15-years-old. Unfortu-

nately, by then the treesare fully integrated intothe landscape and haveoften become almostpart of the family.

Colorado blue sprucetrees seem to be amongthe most popular land-scape trees, consideringtheir fine pyramidalform and typical bluecast to the needles, al-though individual treesvary in their expressionof blue. However, a verycommon fungal diseasecalled Rhizosphaera nee-dle cast is a frequentproblem for blue spruce.Needles catch sporesand become infected asthey elongate in thespring, and then as the

Local farmer helps HarrisonCounty Food Pantry stock up

Local farmer directs $2,500 through America’s Farmers Grow Communities

Volunteers at the Harrison County Food Pantry believe every family should have the opportunity to sharea good Easter supper. This year, their effort to keep the holiday festive received a little extra support from alocal farmer and America’s Farmers Grow Communities.

Grow Communities, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, gives farmers the opportunity to win $2,500 fortheir favorite local nonprofit organizations. Anita Allmon was the winning farmer in Harrison County. Shechose to support the food pantry because she feels it is important to never let a child go hungry.

“There are so many families struggling to buy groceries this year. I thought that is a need I want to helpto address,” Allmon said. “I work at a school, and you see it everyday; kids need to eat. They may not knowwhat is going on in their families, but they know they need to eat, and that’s a tough thing."

The pantry will use the $2,500 to support its long running Easter Basket program, which provides strug-gling families with a ham, trimmings and supermarket gift card to help them celebrate their holiday with aproper Easter dinner.

“It’s something we’ve been doing for probably 25 years and it’s become quite a project,” said LauraMartin, Harrison County Food Pantry Director. “Even for a family of three or four, Easter is an expensivemeal to put on, and people are so appreciative to be able to enjoy that with their families.”

In a ceremony on April 5 at the Harrison County Food Pantry, Missouri Valley, Allmon got the chance topresent the food pantry with the $2,500 donation.

“It really brightened my day and just gave me a lift to get that call and find out I had this opportunity,”Allmon said. “It just made my day. I think the program is great opportunity for some worthy organizationin every county.”

Grow Communities is part of a broad commitment by the Monsanto Fund to invest in farm communities.It aims to highlight the important contributions farmers make every day to our society.

Through America’s Farmers Grow Communities:* Farmers in 1,245 eligible counties have the chance to win $2,500 for their favorite community nonprofit

organizations.* The Monsanto Fund has invested more than $3.1 million to rural communities this year alone.* More than $742,500 in total has been donated to nonprofits in Iowa.* A list of all winners and more information can be found at www.growcommunities.com.

MEEKER WELL CO.

No matter what kind of equip-ment heats your home, one thingis certain: The more energy-effi-cient the heating system is, thelower your utility bills will be.According to the U.S.Department of Energy (DOE), thecombination of a tight, well-insu-lated home, a properly main-tained, high-efficiency heatingsystem and reasonable thermo-stat settings can cut your annualheating bill by as much as one-half.

The DOE says you can save asmuch as one percent on yourheating bill for every degree youreduce your thermostat settingfor at least eight hours per day. Ifyou have an older thermostat,you can save heating dollars byfollowing these suggestions.

When you’re home, set yourthermostat at 70° F. or lower. Ifyou feel slightly chilly, addanother layer of clothing.

Choose a lower thermostat set-ting at night or when you’reaway. It costs less to reheat yourhome to a comfortable level thanit does to heat it while you’resleeping or gone.

Keep the thermostat settingconstant for long periods.Frequently changing the thermo-stat causes the heating system tocycle and run too often, wastingenergy.

One of the best energy-savinginvestments you can make isinstalling a programmable ther-mostat, which will automaticallyhandle the daily heating andcooling system temperaturechanges for you all year long. AnENERGY STAR® qualified pro-grammable thermostat costs any-where from $40 to $100 (or more)and can pay for itself in less thana year.

Follow these additional tips tostay warm and comfortable:

Open window coverings onsouth-facing windows to takeadvantage of solar heat gain.Letting the sunshine into yourhome can provide enough heat toreduce the load on your heatingsystem. As soon as the sun stopsshining, cover the windows tominimize heat loss.

Cover east-, north- and west-facing windows. Heavy curtainsor insulated shades are best forcovering these windows andreducing chills when it’s dark.Also keep these windows cov-ered during daytime—unless youneed the natural light—sincethere will be little solar heat gain.

Repair damaged storm win-dows. Storm windows can reduceheat loss by 25 to 50 percent.Make sure the glass isn’t crackedand that the weather stripping isin good shape around each win-dow’s perimeter.

Wash south-facing windows.Dirt and grime on windows canreflect part of the solar heat gainyou’d otherwise get from thesewindows.

Trim trees and bushes in frontof windows. Deciduous trees andshrubs will drop their leaves tolet in sunshine. Cut back othertypes that block the low wintersun.

Warm up your bed. Turn downyour thermostat and add blan-kets, quilts or an electric blanketor mattress pad to stay toasty atnight.

Vacuum baseboard heaters, airregisters or radiators. When yousee dust, dirt and lint buildingup, clean these devices.

Move furniture or windowcoverings that are blocking airregisters, baseboard heaters orradiators. Make sure all the heat-

ed air you’re paying for is beingdistributed throughout the room.

Install radiator reflectors.These panels will help reflect heataway from walls and intorooms.The information in thisarticle was taken from the HomeSeries booklets which are filledwith everyday energy-saving tipsto help Iowans make a positiveimpact on family budgets. Theyare available free of charge fromthe Iowa Energy Center. Toobtain copies:

Small energy-efficiency proj-ects such as sealing air leaks orweather-stripping windows areeasy to do yourself and are rela-tively inexpensive. However,when it’s time to purchase a newheating and cooling system, talkwith your utility company asthey may offer rebates on somesystems. Also get in touch withthe Community Action Agency inyour area about government-sponsored assistance and grantprograms designed for low-income and elderly homeowners.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005includes special tax credits forhomeowners who make energy-saving improvements to theirhomes between January 1, 2006and December 31, 2007. Eligibleitems include insulation systems,exterior windows and doors, cir-culating fans, furnaces, solar pan-els, and solar water heaters.

It’s easy to overlook the home fix-it projects until you’re cooped up insideduring the dark days of winter. Besides the touch-up painting, considerwhether you need bigger changes to create a more welcoming home.Overnight guests - especially those who use wheelchairs - will enjoy theirstay more if you have a no-step entrance, a bedroom or sleeping area and afull-sized bathroom on the main level.

No-step entrance A home with a no-step entrance makes it easy to carry groceries, move furni-ture or push a baby stroller through the doorway. You’ll be glad you don’thave to climb exterior steps during icy winters. There are many attractiveways to create a no-step entrance without building a ramp - even on an olderhome. Get a copy of The Welcoming Home, ISU Extension publication PM1804, for details.

Bedroom or sleeping area on main levelA bedroom or sleeping area on the main level is convenient for guests whoaren’t able to climb stairs and is a good place for family members to recuper-ate following an injury or illness. If you don’t have a bedroom on the mainlevel, consider how an office or family room might double as a guest bed-room with the use of a sofa bed.

Full-sized bathroom on main levelA full-sized bathroom on the main level is a must. A skimpy powder roomwon’t work for guests who use walkers or wheelchairs. At a minimum,guests will need a five-foot circle of open floor space for maneuvering awheelchair between bathroom fixtures. A shower stall will be more conven-ient than a tub for most guests. Make sure the bathroom door is at least 32inches wide, preferably 36 inches.

Universal Design Learning LaboratoryIf it’s hard for you to visualize changes, visit the Universal Design LearningLaboratory on the Iowa State University campus. You will be able to try spe-cial features that make a home more convenient, comfortable, and safe in alife-sized bathroom, kitchen and living area. Call (515) 294-6568 to schedule atour. Bring along photos and floor plans if you would like some one-on-oneassistance in planning your remodeling project. You’re welcome to come asan individual or a family; group tours may be arranged.

Do you have awelcoming home?

A well-maintained landscape isimportant to many homeowners. Inaddition to adding to a home's aes-thetic appeal, a lush landscape canalso help increase a home's resalevalue. Oftentimes, homeownerswithout much experience tending tolawns and gardens hire a landscapearchitect to do the job for them. First-time homeowners on the lookout fora landscape architect should considerthe following tips to make the mostof that process.

* Find a professional who will workwith you. Though you might notplan to do any of the landscaping orgardening, that doesn't mean youwon't have a vision of what youwant the property to look like. Alandscape architect should be recep-tive to your ideas and willing towork with your vision while keepingthe channels of communication openthroughout the project.

* Look for a professional with someexperience. A landscape architectshould be ready and willing to dis-cuss his or her previous work experi-ence. Ask to see photos of previouswork or even local addresses wherework was done so you can see thefinished product in person.Landscape architects without exten-sive work histories aren't necessarilyunqualified, but homeowners shouldweigh the projects such architectshave completed considerably.

* Discuss subcontractors. Some land-

scape architects will handle the proj-ect entirely on their own, while oth-ers might subcontract part of theproject. Determine who will be per-forming the project and how the hir-ing of subcontractors might affect thecost of the project.

* Discuss fees and get a fee schedule.How the project will be paid for is animportant thing to discuss wheninterviewing landscape architects.Each contractor might have a differ-ent fee structure, so you will wantthe one that's best suited to you. If aseries of payments will be made, geta fee schedule so there's no confusiondown the road.

* Get references. A professional land-scape architect should have a list ofreferences at the ready for potentialcustomers. When contacting refer-ences, be sure to ask how satisfiedthey are with the finished productand how the project went withregards to scheduling and fees. Whentalking to a previous customer, alsoask how amenable the landscapearchitect was to their ideas and howmuch he or she involved the home-owner in the project.

* Make sure the contractor islicensed. In many communities, land-scape architects must be licensed.This information is public, so alwaysverify if a landscape architect islicensed prior to making any finaldecisions or signing a contract.

“Last Chance” Private Pesticide Applicator Recertification

to be April 13 at ISU Extension Service office in LoganIn order for landowners and crop producers to legally use “restricted use”

pesticides in Iowa, they must have a Private Pesticide Applicator Certification. Inorder to receive an original certification, producers must take and pass a testadministered by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship(IDALS) and pay a licensing fee. Once crop producers receive an original certifi-cation, there are two methods of keeping pesticide certification current. One is toattend a CIC recertification training conducted by ISU Extension every year.Training must be completed by April 15 each year. The other is to continue totake the test (offered by IDALS) every three years. No matter which method onechooses, applicators must send in a renewal form and the required fee to IDALS.There will be a “last chance” Private Pesticide Applicator Training (PPAT) recer-tification course on Friday, April 13, at 1 p.m. at the Harrison County ExtensionOffice, 304 E. Seventh St., Logan. There is a $20 fee to attend. For more informa-tion, please contact us at the Extension office at (712) 644-2105 or IDALS at (515)281-4339. We also have available a list of other PPAT sites and testing locations.

summer progresses,many of last year’s nee-dles often die and turnpurplish-brown. Deadand dying needles mayshow lines of small blackdots on the undersidethat are the structureswhere spores emerge.

If you have bluespruce in your land-scape, check it for thesigns and symptoms;that is, older needles thathave died or are dyingand the characteristicrows of black dots underthe needles. If you seethese, consider a fungi-cide treatment contain-ing the active ingredientchlorothalonil thisspring. That should pro-tect the new needles thatthe spray reaches frombecoming infected; thespray won’t cure previ-ously infected needles.Normally, we recom-mend that the fungicidesbe applied twice, once inmid- to late May andagain four- to six-weekslater. But, the earlygrowth this year means Iwould treat (if neces-sary) when the needlebuds break and new nee-dles are about a half-inchlong. That could happenin the next week, threeweeks to a month ahead

of normal schedule.Then, a second spraymade in early Juneshould help.

If you are consideringa new conifer for thelandscape, I would firstlook to the “whites.” Bythat, I mean white spruce(they have the same gen-eral shape as bluespruce, without the bluecoloring), Norwayspruce (which is richdark green with droop-ing secondary branchesthat look nice), whitepine and white fir (also

known as concolor fir) aspotential options. BlackHills spruce (actually asubspecies of whitespruce) also may begood to consider.However, the correctchoice still depends onfitting an appropriatespecies to an appropriatesite.

Fast, Accurate, Guaranteed Auto Repairs

Auto technicians say the key to keeping vehicles running well-today anddown the road-is routine maintenance. Yet many drivers tend to stall when itcomes to keeping up with some everyday auto-basics.

A recent survey by the Car CareCouncil found:

•54 percent had low tire pressure•38 percent had low or dirty engine

oil•28 percent had inadequate cooling protection•19 percent needed new belts•16 percent had dirty air filters•10 percent had low or contaminated brake fluid

The inspections include volunteers checking fluid levels, tires, lights andother system components. After the inspections are complete, volunteers andmotorists review any problems that may have been found and motoristsreceive information about proper vehicle maintenance and repair.

The inspections are usually held in parking lots at shopping malls, schoolsand businesses and they’re generally sponsored by area repair facilities andauto-shops, as well as other businesses, civic groups and radio stations.

The other nine com-munities also chosen forsite visits are Algona,Audubon, Decorah,Fairfield, Harlan, Os-age, Red Oak, SpiritLake and St. Ansgar.

Andi Thomsen, Dun-lap, is Business Man-ager for Thomsen Chi-ropractic, 410 Ely St.,Woodbine, and a mem-ber of the Blue ZonesApplication Committee.She said she is excitedthe committee’s workhas paid off so dramati-cally for the community.

“Our main point inthe entire applicationprocess was to conveythe unique qualities thatmake Woodbine theprogressive communitythat it is,” Thomsensaid. “We built off of thesuccesses of the MainStreet Façade programand the Horizons proj-ect and stressed thestrong support systemwe have.”

Thomsen said theoverall goal of theApplications Commit-tee was to demonstrateto Blue Zones' officialsthat Woodbine has theskills, talent and spiritto make such a programa success here.

“We wanted to showthe Wellmark officialsthat Woodbine will notdrop the ball and that

this is a great programfor our residents to rallyaround,” Thomsen said.“Our selection showswe did a good job ofshowing Woodbine peo-ple have the time, ener-gy and pride to makethis program happen.”

Thomsen added thatthe Application Com-mittee received a greatdeal of support anddirection from Spreckerand early Blue ZonesCommunity supporterKassey Bartels in theprocess.

“We had an initiallarge group, publicmeeting to discuss BlueZones and to review themain questions,” Thom-sen said. “Kassey Bart-els and Deb Spreck-erresearched and com-pleted the information.We were more of asounding board fortheir work.”

Thomsen said thecommittee provided cri-tical and time-intensivework, such as proofingthe documents to makesure they were accurate,providing examples todemonstrate the vitalityof Woodbine, and tochoosing projects thatwould reach the mostresidents.

Sprecker said the re-quired work totaledmany hours and pro-

duced an inch-thickapplication.

“Kassey and I work-ed hard to put togethera compelling applica-tion; it ended up beingabout an inch thick!”Sprecker said. “We hada lot of assistance fromcommunity memberswho willingly steppedforward to help with theediting process, addtheir names to potentialcommittees, attend theStart Somewhere Walk,distribute t-shirts, takephotos and videofootage.”

Sprecker specificallymentioned BracindaBlum, Studio Director ofthe new Artisan Studio,Woodbine, as someonewho went above andbeyond to create a com-pelling video.

“Blum put together areally nice video weincluded in the applica-tion,” Sprecker said.“The Blue Zones Projectpeople actually werevery impressed with thesmall town applicationssubmitted and said ourswas creative and well-written. That had tohelp with our selec-tion.”

Another part of theapplication process wasan online pledge pro-cess that was used byWellmark officials to

gauge the spirit of eachcommunity for the proj-ect. Sprecker said it tookthe entire community tomake Woodbine num-ber one in the onlinepledge results.

“Thanks to every-one’s persistence inkeeping the Blue Zonesmomentum and conver-sation going, we fin-ished FIRST in the entirestate as far as citizenpledges,” Sprecker said.“That’s a testament toWoodbine’s commit-ment; it speaks stronglyto our progressive senseof community and willserve us well going intothe next phase of theprocess.”

The Woodbine Com-munity School Districtwas vital to that supporteffort, Sprecker said.

“This has been a grat-ifying experience due tothe number of differentpeople involved in theprocess,” Sprecker said.“The school becameinvolved early on, andwas instrumental insecuring many of the‘citizen pledges’ thattook Woodbine fromzero to in the top 10 invoting. Pretty quickly,due to Main Street busi-nesses becominginvolved, we were bat-tling for the top pledg-ing spot.”

Bartels and her sister,Mindy Crook, alsoworked many hoursgathering pledges atarea events, she added.

“Kassey Bartels ledthe charge early on,attending various com-munity meetings to getthe initial word out,”Sprecker said. “She andher sister, Mindy Crook,set up a table at basket-ball games and reallyworked the pledgedrive hard. Communitymembers were signingup on their own, email-ing me names, and eventaping lists of names tothe Main Street Stationdoor! Every time I sentout a plea to find names,Woodbine always camethrough and we edgedup in the rankings.”

Thomsen added thatWoodbine’s applicationefforts were easierbecause the communityhas had a long-standingcommitment to improv-ing health.

“Improving the com-munity’s health is not anew idea for Wood-bine,” Thomsen said.“We had been workingon this important arealong before the BlueZones program camealong. For example, wehave been discussing acommunity fitness cen-ter project and commu-

nity gardens plan for awhile. Woodbine offi-cials also have beenworking on ways toimprove the walk abili-ty of the city by stress-ing sidewalk improve-ments.”

Thomsen added thatit will still take everyoneto earn the city the BlueZones designation.

“As Deb (Sprecker)always says, ‘It’s notthey, it’s we,’” Thomsensaid. “Involvement isstill needed to make thishappen. We aren’t doneyet. Everyone will beexpected to help out tomake this happen; tomake it a reality.”

As for her part in theeffort, Thomsen said theexperience has beenpersonally rewardingand gratifying.

“I’ve enjoyed work-ing on this project and ithas been fun,” Thomsensaid. “The prospect ofthe idea of the BlueZones – the prospectthat any of those thingshappening – is excitingand we have the com-munity tools and driveto make those thingshappen.”

Dirks, agreed. “Historic areas and

recreation ranks prettyhigh for us,” she said.

“It’s great to see thaton the survey because ithelps to show that ournew Lincoln High-way/Loess Hills Inter-pretive Center is help-ing to give our visitorsinformation and activi-ties they are seeking,”she added.

The survey alsoshows that 34.7 percentof the visitors thatstopped into theHarrison County Wel-come Center extendedtheir stay in Iowa.

“The longer they stay,

the more economic ben-efit our state and countyreceives,” Dirks said.

“Estimated overallspending by visitors tothe Harrison CountyWelcome Center was$5.6 million,” Dirksreported.

Visitors will spend anaverage of $67.45 perday on lodging; $18.24on entertainment; $54.63for transportation;$46.16 on food; $29.03shopping for an averageof $215.51 spent daily.The average total spentdaily from all surveyedcenters was $248.62.

The survey, complet-ed each year byWelcome Center visi-

tors, is conducted byindividual IowaWelcome Centers withresults tabulated andreported by the IowaEconomic DevelopmentAuthority, Tourism Off-ice.

For 2011, a total of3,993 interviews wereconducted by the 13Welcome Centers takingpart. The surveyshowed that visitors toHarrison County spentan average of 5.7 days inIowa, up from four lastyear. The majority of thetravelers were retired,followed by familieswith no children under18.

Visitors came from a

variety of states andeven international loca-tions. The major statesrepresented includedIowa, Minnesota, Illin-ois, Missouri, Wisc-onsin, Nebraska andKansas. Iowa was thedestination of 40.8 per-cent of those travelers.

The various purposesof those trips were 47.2percent for vacation and38.5 percent to visitfriends and relatives,among other reasons.

While in Iowa, morethan half stayed inhotels or motels in thestate, with the nexthighest staying at thehomes of friends or fam-ily members.

The age of the major-ity of the travelers thatstopped at the HarrisonCounty Welcome Centerwas 55 to 64. Their mainpurpose of stopping atthe Welcome Center(72.5 percent) was toobtain information, fol-lowed by those taking atravel break.

According to the 2011survey, the HarrisonCounty Welcome Centerhad the most visitors inMay, with 1,563. Norm-ally, the summermonths bring the high-est numbers, but thefloods and closed roadslast summer affected thetotals.

experience in communi-ty law enforcement andhe is excited to get backinto that area again,”Gaa said. “He brings awealth of police andadministrative experi-ence to the position andthe mayor and councilare excited to have himonboard. Our currentofficers have done a fan-tastic job of keeping ontop of a dynamic work-load the past fewmonths. We are fortu-nate to have this caliberof leader to keep ourpolice department mov-ing forward.”

The council also tookseveral actions to pre-pare the city financiallyfor probably the mostaggressive plan forstreet and bridge repairprojects in the city’s his-tory.

The council voted toset a public hearing for 5p.m., Monday, April 23,to review a loan agree-ment in the principalamount not to exceed$1,800,000. Councilmember Jim Andersenmade that motion and itwas seconded byCouncil member NoelSherer. The vote wasunanimous of the mem-bers present. (Councilmember NancyYarbrough arrived

about an hour into themeeting).

The council also thenapproved a Letter ofEngagement namingRuan Securities, DesMoines, as the firm rep-resenting the city in therefinancing and sale ofname GeneralObligation (GO) bonds.The firm will be paid anestimated $40,000 for itsservices. The fees areincluded in the loanamount.

The refinancingallows the city to trimits interest rate fromfour percent to two per-cent, saving the city$50,000 in future inter-est expense. Of the $1.8million loan amount,about $800,000 will bespent to payoff and refi-nance the city’s currentoutstanding GO debt.

Before the vote, thecouncil held extensivediscussions on the antic-ipated funding needsand total bond indebt-edness for the city. Thecouncil also exploreddebt service tax askingpossibilities. The citycurrently assesses$3.60/$1,000 of assessedvaluation of a home andearns about $157,000 ayear in revenue.

If approved, the refi-nancing and re-issuanceof GO bonds will fund

work on the Bus Brownbridge projects andrepair work on LincolnWay from SeventhStreet to Eleventh Street.

Work would be antic-ipated to begin in 2013and completed in 2014.A small portion of theLincoln Way work willbe concrete and notbrick. That decision isdue to the load factorsof trucks on the road.

The council alsoagreed to allow Gaa andthe city’s staff to reviewa proposedAdministrative Planand Contract withSWIPCO relating to theFaçade Master Plan andhistoric second-storyhousing.

“I think we need towait a bit and make sureeveryone is on the samepage,” Gaa said. “Forexample, on TIF fund-ing, we need a lot moreclarities on this programand I want to give thecouncil plenty of time toreview the agreements.”

One gray area is whatbuildings in downtownwill qualify for fundinggoing forward and howdo market rate secondstory housing fit intothe program, Gaa said.

“You have to look athow it all fits into themission,” Gaa said. “Isit all OK or just part of

it? And, how do low- tomoderate-income ten-ant rules apply? Itbecomes difficult tolook at the remainingprojects as one whenthey are separate. Weneed clarity on how todo it and how monitor-ing will be done for thenext 10 years.”

Gaa told the councilhe understands thatseveral downtownproperty owners wantto get busy on refurbish-ing plans and the cre-ation of new second-story housing but hesaid the city needs moreinformation to moveforward.

In other action, thecouncil:

• Agreed to repaya $46,340 loan from theIowa Finance Authoritytaken out by the city in2008 to pay for studyingthe nitrate issues in thecity’s water supply. Therecall date for the fundswas March 2011. Gaasaid the money to paythe loan comes fromWater Reserve Fund.

• Approved a res-olution on the 2012Swimming PoolOperations. Gaa out-lined some staffingchanges that will resultin more water safetycertified personnel andprovide more flexibility

in scheduling. Rates thisyear will increase $5.Gaa also outlined somepotential marketingchanges – such as agespecific night swims –that could increaseusage and also conduct-ing a user’s survey tosee what residents wantfrom the facility.

• Instituted spe-cific parking areas byresolution for semi-trucks that overnightpark in the city’sIndustrial Park. Gaasaid the move is neces-sary because if twosemis are parked acrossfrom each other, thespace to get anothervehicle between is verylimited. Gaa and thecouncil said this is thebest place for residentsin the trucking industryto park their semis.Parking will be allowedonly on the east side ofLowry Drive, the northside of Apple Boulevardand the west side ofEnterprise Drive. Theresolution is a tempo-rary action that willallow the city’s staff tocontinue to review andstudy parking in thearea.

• A n n o u n c e dthat all businesses thathad payments due tothe city for FaçadeMaster Plan work have

now paid.• Reported that

the city had receivednotice that it wasawarded two grants bythe Harrison CountyCommunity Found-ation. The City Pool willreceive $5,000 to pay foran ADA (Americanswith Disabilities Act) liftthat should cover theentire cost of that proj-ect. And, Merry BrookSchool received $1,020for window replace-ment work. Gaa said thefunds will not replaceall of the windows but itwill take care of the oneswith the most issues.

• Denied arequest from the city’sAirport Board to attendan upcoming confer-ence. The city didrequest a meetingbetween the board andthe mayor and Gaa.

The next WoodbineCity Council meetingwill be at 5 p.m.,Monday, April 23(rescheduled from theformer April 16 date) inthe City ConferenceRoom of the WoodbineMunicipal Utilitiesbuilding, 517 Walker St.City council meetingsare open and the publicis encouraged to attend.

“Money Talk: A Financial Course for

Women” to be online beginning April 16At some point in many women’s lives, they will

have to make major financial decisions. “MoneyTalk,” an online class offered through Iowa StateUniversity Extension and Outreach, gives womenthe knowledge to make those decisions andimprove their lives.

“Money Talk helps women become better-informed money managers and to take charge oftheir financial future,” Mary Beth Kaufman, ISUExtension specialist, said.

The five-week online course begins April 16 andcovers financial basics, insurance, retirement plan-ning, investing and planning for life events. Thecourse costs $75 and includes a 200-page work-book.

Participants will learn financial terminology andmoney management skills to become a moreinformed consumer. They also will interact with theinstructor and other women in the course. Exercisesand worksheets allow participants to personalizethe information as you learn, such as calculatingyour own net worth.

For more information on the course and anonline registration link, please visit www.exten-sion.iastate.edu/families/money-talk.

“Women often have unique financial needs,”Kaufman said. “On average, we earn less and livelonger than men, so our money has to last longer.We may have gaps in our employment history dueto raising children or caring for other family mem-bers. Getting married or divorced or dealing withthe death of a spouse also affect our financial secu-rity. The ultimate goal of ‘Money Talk’ is to increasethe knowledge of Iowa women to make wise finan-cial decisions and to empower them to work withother family members to increase the well-being oftheir families.”
