"Tech Time for Teachers" held

at Southeast Valley High School
Strategy to increase communication, collaboration,
critical thinking, and creativity...
By Tamara Hanson, Leadership Coordinator

In December, Travis Nuss,
Southeast Valley model teacher and
member of the technology PLC, initiated
Tech Time for Teachers at the high
school.

Nuss led interested staff members in developing their technology
skills through trainings held before and
after school.

Tech Time was an idea
developed by the professional learning community (PLC) that focuses on
technology.

This PLC includes Travis
Nuss as well as Jacob Bruns, Mike
Conrad, Bethany Rippentrop-Nuss,

and Lisa Peterson. Tech Time was developed as a

strategy to increase teacher use of communication, collaboration, critical thinking,
and creativity through
the use of technology.
Use of the 4 Cs was
identified as an area
needing
improvement
at the high school after
reviewing data from the
Clarity survey.

Another survey will
be given to students, staff,
and parents in the Southeast Valley districts in the
Spring of 2017.

Digital literacy has
been identified as one of
Prairie Valley and Southeast Webster-Grands four
district goal areas.

During the first Tech Time, the staff members
spent time learning to put together classroom websites
through the free web service Weebly. While Mr. Nuss
led the session, other teachers who already utilized the
site were on hand to assist with the training.

These websites serve as a communication tool
between teachers and students as well as their parents.
The Weebly platform also offers an option of having
students create their own websites for classroom assignments.

In subsequent sessions, teachers were able to
further develop their websites as well as build upon learning from a previous professional development day about
utilizing Google Classroom. A new tool called GoFormative was also introduced. GoFormative is a website that
allows teachers to give formative assessments to students
to determine what their current needs are. As the school
year progresses, more technology tools will be added to
the teachers skill lists.

Tech Time

Make family
meetings, gatherings
routine all year long

As the new year arrives, families begin to think
about ways to improve communication. Malisa Rader,
an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach human
sciences specialist, suggests making family meetings a
routine all year long.

Weekly family meetings can help busy families
keep communication lines open, said Rader, who specializes in family life issues.

As children get older, their schedules get more
complicated. They juggle school, sports, afterschool activities and sometimes a part time job. Both children and
parents benefit from family meetings where they can
review all their schedules and reflect on their school or
work successes, Rader said.

Schedule the family meeting at a time when all
family members are available and not tired or otherwise
distracted. Keep the meeting brief and begin with family compliments or praise for each and every member of
the family. Celebrating family successes is important for
building continued self-confidence, Rader said.

The family meeting also is a place to learn problem solving skills. According to Rader, problem solving
is a protective factor that can be an asset in school or work
settings. Listening, taking turns talking and sharing, and
hearing other family members opinions are additional
benefits of planned family meetings.

If your family members seem to be arguing or
having trouble following household rules, your family
meeting can be a time to review the rules and talk about
how you all can hold each other accountable for complying, Rader said.

Delegating household chores is an ongoing need
for keeping a clean home, the extension specialist said.

During a family meeting, divide household
chores among family members. Make a job chart so your
children know they will have an opportunity to switch
duties from time to time, Rader said.

Family meetings also are a time to plan for fun,
Rader continued.

Spend some time discussing everyones ideas
for spending quality time together. Take turns letting
each person select an activity. If a suggested activity has
a financial cost, discuss the family budget and make a
group decision based on your family finances, Rader
said.

Use the month of January to schedule your
weekly family meetings and begin this new year with
success and open communication, Rader said.

Many Webster County, area

residents could get tax credits

Healthcare.gov covers many local, area Iowans. . .

Paton Library has many

January acitivities set
Iowa author comes Jan. 12. . .

On January 12 come in and meet Iowa Author
Lyle Spencer at the Paton Library. Listen to him as he
talks about his two titles A Farmers Son: The First 18
Years and Struggles: The Early Adult Years.

Stay and ask him any questions you may have
about his experiences. His books are available to check
out at the Library. There will be refreshments available.

On January 19 it is still winter, and there will
be lots of snow. Come in for a winter story, make paper
snow flakes, eat a snack and play some games!

On January 26th come in and socialize while
you color in your favorite adult coloring books. You can
bring your own, or use one provided by the library. Refreshments will be available but anyone is welcome to
bring some from home to share.

Already, about 8.8 million Americans, and
42,595 Iowans, who buy health insurance through
HealthCare.gov receive tax credits that help make coverage more affordable. But about 12 million more Americans, including 109,000 Iowans, may also be eligible for
help during this Open Enrollment, but not know it. This
group includes:

Current HealthCare.gov consumers: 2,000 Iowa
consumers who didnt get tax credits last year could be
eligible for tax credits in 2017, even if their income remains the same, because financial assistance moves along
with rates. Thats 27 percent of currently unsubsidized
Iowa Marketplace consumers.

Off-Marketplace individual consumers: About
41,000 Iowans who currently pay full price for individual
coverage off-Marketplace could be eligible for tax credits if they purchase a 2017 plan through HealthCare.gov
instead.

The remaining uninsured: About 66,000 uninsured Iowans earn incomes indicating they, too, could be
eligible for financial assistance. Nationwide, 84 percent
of Marketplace-eligible uninsured Americans have incomes suggesting they are tax credit eligible.

In Iowa, 12,099 people have already signed up
for coverage in the first month of Open Enrollment, more
than last year at this time. But many more Iowans might
benefit from visiting HealthCare.gov before the December 15th deadline for January 1 coverage and checking
out their options for affordable, quality health insurance.

Affordable by design. The Marketplaces tax
credits are designed to keep pace with premium increases. This means that for many consumers already receiving tax credits, the value of that financial assistance will
increase this year to keep pace with the cost of coverage in their area. It also means that more individuals may
qualify for tax credits as premiums rise. For people eligible for financial assistance, the ACA specifies the share
of income the consumer is expected to contribute toward
health coverage. The tax credits make up the difference
between that amount and the actual cost of a consumers
benchmark (second-lowest-cost silver) plan.

For example, in 2017, a 27-year old in Iowa
making $25,000 per year will pay $142 per month to purchase the benchmark plan, almost exactly the same as in
2016. Thats because the 27-year old will, on average, get
a $166 tax credit 61 percent higher than in 2016.

Check out your options. The Marketplace is
open for business, and HHS is encouraging anyone who
might need coverage next year to visit HealthCare.gov
and check out their options before the December 15 deadline for coverage that starts January 1.

Millions of Americans could be surprised to find
out theyre eligible for financial assistance this year, even
if they werent last year, giving them affordable, quality
options to choose from. Visit HealthCare.gov to browse
and shop for quality, affordable health plans. More than
65 percent of current Iowa Marketplace consumers will
find plans for less than $75 per month, and the vast majority can save by coming back to actively shop instead of
waiting to be re-enrolled in their current plan.

The state-by-state tables below show the number of consumers nationally who could benefit in 2017
from the financial assistance Marketplace tax credits provide. If these consumers were to take advantage of the

help offered on HealthCare.gov, they could find affordable, quality options.

Lehigh wasterwater
lagoon valve opens,
then closed Dec. 28
r

The Incomparable Christ

Discharge minimal,
valve will be replaced. . .

Responding to a complaint received by DNR,
city officials in Lehigh found a valve on the wastewater
lagoon was open on Dec. 28.

A small discharge was flowing to a ditch, then
into Crooked Creek which flows into the Des Moines
River.

The city staff believe the wastewater lagoon has
been discharging since Dec. 13, when the normal fall
drawdown ended and the lagoons valves were closed.

Because liquid levels in the lagoon were very
low, the volume of discharge was also low. The city and
DNR do not expect any significant water quality problems from the discharge.

The city ended the discharge Dec. 28 and collected water quality samples. The city plans to replace the
valve.

DNR will continue to monitor the situation and
plans to issue a notice of violation to the city.

Dayton Review

No person has had more impact on history than

Jesus Christ. It is undeniable that He lived and walked
in the land of Judea and Israel over 2000 years ago. But
who is He? He is the visible image of the invisible God.
He is God in a human body. You want to know what God
is like? Look at Jesus. The fullness of God dwells in
Him. He is the Creator of all creation. He holds all creation together. It is His masterpiece Creation that reveals
the greatness of God.

He is the Savior who died for our sins. He came
to reconcile us with God. Once you know who He is, you
have choice a decision to make. Its the biggest decision you will ever make. The decision to trust Him as
your Savior and Lord or to reject Him. Which will it be?
Who is Jesus? The Bible is clear on this point but the
important thing for you is, do you believe it?

Prayer: Lord, help us make the wise decision
now in this new year and believe in You. The benefits
are many and the peace is indescribable. In Jesus Holy
Name, Amen.

Dayton Review

Remembering Christmas
from years ago. . .

In northern Wisconsin growing up with two other brothers, I remember so many things about Christmas
there in Ladysmith, WI.

We had our Christmas program at St. Johns
Lutheran Church. The grade school children sang many
hymns. I remember reciting John 3:16 at one program.

After the Christmas program at church, all children were given a brown paper bag and inside there were
hard tack candy, a popcorn ball, tootsie rolls, an apple
or orange, and a few other goodies. We really cherished
these gifts at church. We usually rehearsed these church
Christmas programs on Saturdays as I recall.

At home we started our Christmas preparations
by cutting down a Christmas tree. We didnt even know
artificial trees existed.

I always enjoyed the spruce scent that filled our
living room. We watered our tree. It always seemed
to last for at least a month and we took the tree down in
early January as needles were starting to drop off the tree.

Decorating the tree took some time, but it was
always fun. We used a lot of tinsel of the tree, and we
didnt allow the hanging tinsel to drape over branches
below. The tree shimmered with the shiny tinsel decorations. Lights and bulbs were added of course.

Many presents were under the tree several days
before Christmas. This definitely gave us some anticipation for Christmas morning when we opened our presents.

On Christmas Eve we were often with other
family members at my grandparents farm home in rural Ladysmith, about a half mile north of the Thornapple
River and five miles north of Ladysmith. My aunts, uncles and their families got together. The fireplace always
had a real fire and I remember listening to the many stories related by the adult family members.

Grandma and Grandpa didnt have indoor
plumbing at their farm home. So we went outdoors to
the outdoor biff where there was the Montgomery Ward
catalog.

There was always snow on the ground at Christmas, often a foot of snow or more. And we were building
forts in the snow as kids.

In Ladysmith, population about 3,950, we had
Ditmansons Department store (three stories high); four
hardware stores, two dime stores, two drugstores, two
jewerly stores, six grocery stores, and much more. Three
grocery stores were neighborhood grocery stores.

So my parents had plenty of stores right in town
where they could buy gifts. That was good since Eau
Claire was 60 miles away, and Rice Lake was about 45
(the only two major cities where there were major retail
stores.

There was a Pennys store in Ladysmith and
several clothing stores. I recall that messages were sent
from checkout clerks to bookkeepers on the second level
via a wire, pully system. It was probably high tech at
the time.

Mary Elizabeth Lind, 86

Olive Peterson was born December 25, 1930 in Dayton,

Down Memory Lane

Wednesday, January 4, 2017

B Y

S A R A

D O W N S

Were they the good old days?

The other day something triggered some past
memories and they became quite random. One of those
memories was National Geographic Magazine. Boxholm
High had a subscription. Each new issue was placed on
the back table in the high school assembly hall. Our curiosity led us to it as we would wonder what far off places
in this world had been visited and would there be photographs of natives in minimum state of dress and with
ear, nose, face rings, stretched lobes, body paintings and
sculpturing. How weird could people get and think of it
as beauty?

Today it seems quite commonplace to walk
down our city streets or frequent our businesses and other places and see piercings on various body parts, lobes
stretched, and pictures and symbols and sayings appearing on visible and probably invisible body parts. Are we
less fascinated by those in far off remote place people
since body markings have become so commonplace
and acceptable in our own society? Probably. I know I
am not a fan of excess piercings or tattooing but I admit to
loving a number of people who possess them. How many
great grandmas are rolling in their graves?

I suppose we had our fads too. As a freshman
in high school I followed the leader and for Christmas
asked for a specific pair of gold earrings I had seen in a Ft.
Dodge Jewelers window plus getting the lobe piercing to
accommodate them. Even tho my parents, particularly
Dad, were not crazy about the idea, I got the present and a
trip was made to Ogden to a doctors office for the piercing. And while I took care of them and cleaned them and
used the peroxide they still got infected but I didnt give
up and to this day am still placing earrings in those now a
bit stretched holes. In fact I have a second set just above
them. Thats enough piercings for me. I can remember
back with the originals my Dad saying why didnt I just
go ahead and get my nose wrung like a hog and Id be
all set. He didnt live long enough to see people actually
doing that and I am glad.

When in high school my Pastor of the Methodist
church in Boxholm, Ol E. Olson, held leather working
classes at the church on a weekday afternoon. I would
drop in after school and did make a couple things. He
only charged for the leather and lacing, etc. I couldnt afford much but did make a patchwork billfold as a Christmas present for Mom and a dog collar. Yes, a dog collar, but it wasnt for my dog. It was for me. It was a
short lived fad and I did wear it a few times but have
never been comfortable with anything that close around
my neck, including turtle neck sweaters or choker type
jewelry. So, should we really make fun of or criticize our
todays youth if it isnt actually obscene?

Remembering Ol E. Olson, he and Bernice were
a childless couple but they liked doing things with youth.
I dont remember where we were going but some of us
young people had met at the parsonage on a wintery Saturday morning to take a jaunt somewhere. Ol E. had gone
to the basement for something and Bernice called to him,
Olaf, throw up my overshoes. He replied in his very
Swedish accent, Why? I didnt swallow them. He did
have a sense of humor too.

Christmas has now been and gone but it brought
another memory. Do you remember the aluminum trees?
And if you were really with it you got the color wheel
which was shined on the tree so it reflected moving colors. Out family never had one. It wasnt our thing. In
fact a REAL tree was our thing for years but later, with
apartment living and fire laws, I have had fake ones
and like that. My aunt and uncle had a farm sale several
years ago and while they were preparing did some storage
cleaning resulting in an ancient aluminum tree (still in
very good condition) being auctioned.

My aunt was in the kitchen where some of us
were just gabbing when her teenage granddaughter came
in saying, Grandma, can you believe it? That old aluminum tree (not a large one) sold and for $______ . I dont
remember the amount but we all thought it was ridiculous
but it was probably purchased by one of those antique
dealers who knew he/she could get still more. People are
funny.

I have mentioned I cant afford the new trend
in toys and electronics for even young children. I do remember buying my older grandsons Transformers, the
toy that might look like a car and made so it could be
transformed into a person representative. In fact over
the few years of their popularity I probably gave them
several as they were sturdy yet not priced beyond a
grandmas pocketbook.

A while back Joe said that he wished he had kept
them, didnt know what happened to them but theyd be
worth some big bucks now if in good condition. How
are we to know? One day about two/three weeks before Christmas I found on the internet a reference to a
toy called Hatchlings but it wouldnt be on market in

time for Christmas. There were to be several -- Pengualas, Draggles, Owliones, Burtles, Bearakeets which
would stay safely tucked inside their eggs till the New
year. I was a bit curious and then found another, apparently along the same vein, called Fuzzy Wonderz and
the ad went on I am ready to be your new fuzzy best
friend, can crack out of my shell and am ready to play.
It showed a little girl cuddling one of these friends and
saying, Sing me a song. The price - $59.99 OUCH!

Times have certainly changed since I could go
to Kresges and Woolworths and get my children a fun
toy for a few bucks or to Walmart and get the grandkids
Transformers for less than $20.00. This grandmas just
not with it any more so they received the box of candy
with the envelope and the green stuff inside. What
will another year bring? New and exciting, electronic
and pricey things Im sure. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Webster County
Extension sets meeting
for Cow-Calf producers
Feb. 1 in Fort Dodge. . .

Cow-calf producers who want to learn more
about improving returns from their enterprise are invited
to attend any in a series of strategy-focused workshops
in early 2017 hosted by the Iowa Beef Center and Iowa
State University Extension and Outreach.

One session will be held at the Webster County
Extension office in Fort Dodge on Feb. 1 from 1:003:30 pm. with the Webster County Cattlemen providing
snacks. The session will include information about feeding, including grazing harvest residue, cover crops and
alternative feeds.

Extension Beef Specialists will discuss controlling feed waste, formulating balanced rations, winter
supplementation, and other cost-controlling management
strategies.

Russ Euken Extension Beef Specialist says
Annual cow costs are projected to be more than $800,
and up to 45 percent higher than in 2010 before drought
conditions impacted the U.S., he said. Because winter
feed costs are one of the largest expenses, reducing feed
cost while maintaining cow productivity is key for producers to achieve good returns.

Revenue enhancement ideas to be shared involves research that investigated factors affecting feeder
calf price and how changes in marketing timing may affect income. Other long-term strategies that improve revenue such as changes in the breeding program and how to
shorten the calving season will also be discussed.

In addition to the Fort Dodge location meetings
will be held in Hampton on Jan. 18 and Ames on Feb.
22. For more information on the meeting or other locations contact Russ Euken ISU Extension Beef Specialist
at 641-923-2856 email reuken@iastate.edu or contact the
Webster County Extension office 515-576-2119.

New Service for Women Offered

at McCrary Rost Clinic

Women seeking solutions to birth control now
have another option locally. Seven medical providers
with Stewart Memorial Community Hospital were recently trained on administering the birth control implant
Nexplanon. The new service provided the answers when
Lake View resident Abbie Brooks sought advice from
the medical providers at McCrary Rost Clinic about birth
control.

The busy 19 year old is a full-time student who
hopes to be acccepted into DMACCs nursing program.
She dreams of being a post partum nurse working with
new moms and babies. When she isnt studying, she is
working weekends. Even though she loves to work with
children and hopes to have a baby someday, Abbie says
she just doesnt have the time to start a family right now.

She visited with advanced registered nurse
Stephanie Bellcock at the Lake View clinic. I explained
that Ive tried taking birth control pills and I hated that.
Taking pills makes me gag, and I didnt always remember to take the pill at the same time every day.

Next, she tried the patch, a small, square patch
that looks like a plastic bandage. It sticks to the skin and
gradually releases hormones to prevent pregnancy. It is
replaced once per week. However, Abbie experienced
side effects. I had horrible headaches with the patch. I
experiemented with wearing it for different lengths of
time. It stopped my menstrual cycle, but it caused a discharge, she says.

Friends and family recommended she talk to her
medical provider about a birth control implant. Stephanie
explained how Nexplanon works. It is a flexible plastic
rod, about the size of a matchstick, that releases a progestin hormone for up to three years. The hormone stops the
release of an egg from the ovary, thickens the mucus in
the cervix, and changes the lining of the uterus. It is inserted by a specially trained professional in a minor surgical procedure just under the skin of the inner side of the
upper arm. While it must be removed after three years,
a new implant can be inserted if continued birth control
is desired. Highly effective, less than one pregnancy occurred per 100 women who use Nexplanon for one year.
It has a higher rate of protection than the pill, the patch or
condoms.

Because Stephanie was preparing for maternity
leave, she referred Abbie to one of her McCrary Rost
Clinic partners, certified physician assistant Megan Grodahl. Abbie met with Megan for a birth control consult.
We discussed the pros and cons of the different types of
birth control, explains Megan. In many consults, if the
patient chooses Nexplanon, we are able to do the procedure the very same day, depending on my schedule and
the patients current form of birth control.

Megan adds, I recommend the implant to many
of my patients because it is highly effective and patients
seem to report fewer side effects when compared to other
birth control options. Similar to other progestin-only options, Nexplanons most common side effect is a change

in your normal menstrual bleeding pattern, whether that

be irregular bleeding or complete absence of bleeding
while in use. However, Nexplanon proves to be superior
as patients report significantly less weight gain and much
quicker return in fertility, especially when compared to
Depo-Provera, the injection. Other reported side effects
include headache, acne, depressed mood, redness or
bruising of the insertion site, or the site may be tender for
24 hours. Another unique perk to Nexplanon is that you
are protected against unwanted pregnancy for three years
making it the only other long acting reversible birth control option next to the IUD, intrauterine device, a more
invasive implant.

Abbie says, Megan explained the procedure so
I knew exactly what to expect when I scheduled it. First
she cleaned and numbed my upper arm. She measured
the distance very specifically. Then she used a special syringe to insert the implant. I felt some pressure during the
procedure, but it was painless and very easy.

While the implant can be removed at any time
by a medical professional, Abbie is confident shes found
the right solution. She declares, Ive experienced no side
effects. Ive had no problems whatsoever - no headaches
or cramps. Its a relief to know my future is protected and
I dont have to worry.

Furs, fur traps stolen

in Boone County

In late November a person called the Boone County Sheriffs Department to report he had several traps and fur
stolen from an address he rents in the 1600 blk of 260th st.. A
deputy was sent to the area to begin an investigation into the
incident.

The BCSO K-9 was also used in the search of the
area but was unable to locate any suspects at this time. The
investigation into the incident remains under investigation.

Another person called the BCSO to report several
vehicles on his property that is posted for no trespassing.
Deputies responded to the area. Deputies responded to the
area and located abandon vehicle and began a search for the
occupants.

After a brief search several individuals were located, of which one Dakotah Kreutzer was wanted out of Boone
County for probation revocation. He was detained and taken
to the BCJ. The BCSO K-9 located several items in and
around the property but no other individuals were located.
The incident still remains under investigation.

Minimum ice thickness is four inches. . .

Get a group of friends and/or family together,
bundle up and try ice fishing this winter. Ice fishing is a
fun, social winter activity best enjoyed as a group.

Anglers should note that the quality of ice over
parts of central and southeast Iowa has been reduced by
the unseasonably mild weather and Christmas Day thunderstorm. The impact was minimal on lakes and ponds in
southwest and across north Iowa.

With a central Iowa forecast filled with high
temperatures ranging from the middle 40s to middle 30s
and lows ranging from 30 to 20 degrees, anglers will
want to proceed with caution and pay attention to ice
conditions. Check the weekly DNR fishing report for ice
conditions across the state before going out.

At a minimum, four inches of clear blue ice is
recommended for fishing. Be especially careful on ice
around submerged trees and emergent vegetation, this ice
tends to be weaker. If the ice does not look right, find a
different spot.

Most Iowa lakes are full of bluegills, which are
the easiest and most often caught during the winter, said
Joe Larscheid, chief of fisheries for the Iowa Department
of Natural Resources.

Start with a no. 8 hook or a tear drop and tip it
with a wax worm. Drop the baited hook to the bottom of
the lake, then lift it back up about a foot.

Lakes in northern Iowa will have yellow perch
and walleye in addition to bluegills. In the south, crappies join bluegills. You catch an occasional catfish,
northern pike, largemouth bass, and other species, but not
as consistently, Larscheid said.

Use the DNRs online maps of the lake you
are going to fish to find edges of creek channels, fish
mounds, brush piles and rock piles that likely hold fish.
Printable maps and the online Fishing Atlas are available on the DNR website (www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing/
Fishing-Maps). If you have previously bookmarked the
fishing atlas on your smartphone, update the link to the
new mobile friendly version at http://programs.iowadnr.
gov/maps/m/fishingatlas/ to view the latest features.

You can position yourself right over the habitat, place your bait and lure it front of the fish and can
catch a lot of fish per trip, said Larscheid.

Use small hooks, small bait and light fishing
line. Small jigging spoons are commonly used to catch
walleye and crappie. Drop your bait and leave it alone, or

Man found dead

in Moorland field

Donald Preston, 51, Fort Dodge, was found

dead in a field near Moorland late last week.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation
ruled the death as a homicide. The DCI is investigating.

Anyone with information is asked to call the
Webster County Sheriffs Department at 573-1410 or
Webster County Crime Stoppers at 573-1444. Tips can
also be sent anonymously by texting LEC and the tip to
274637.

slowly jig to attract the fish.

Ice conditions change constantly and its thickness can vary across the lake. Drill test holes near shore
and periodically as you move to measure the thickness
and quality of the ice. Dont go out alone and always let
someone else know where you will be and when you expect to return home. Carry about 50 feet of rope, a throwable floatation seat cushion and your cell phone.

Don Williams is completely froze over, but no
ice fishing had occurred as of Wednesday, Dec. 14th. Ice
fishing will likely begin soon. Check ice thickness often
when going out.

As of Wednesday, Dec. 14th farm ponds and
small lakes are froze over in central Iowa with 3 to 5
inches of ice. Larger lakes had variable conditions from 3
inches to large areas of open water. More fishing reports
will become available soon as anglers start getting out on
the ice. For information on Central Iowa lakes and rivers,

Crappie fishing good

at Don Williams Lake;
ice thick at Ada Hayden

Don Williams Lake--Black Crappie - Good:
There is some good crappie fishing to be had at Don Williams through the ice. Crappies are being caught on wax
worms or minnows. Target the mid-lake section at depths
of 15-25 feet, schools of crappie will come through suspended.

Ada Hayden Heritage Park Lake (nearAmes)
--Rainbow Trout - Fair: As of Tuesday, Dec. 20th the
north portion of the lake had 7 inches of ice. Catch trout
from the fall stocking with spoons or jigs tipped with wax
worms. Trout tend to swim the perimeter in schools, so
fish depths of 5 to 15 feet deep just out from shore.

Brushy CreekLake
ice at variable thickness

Brushy Creek Lake---Ice is still extremely variable on Brushy Creek Lake. Recent rainfall and warmer
temperatures over the holiday weekend have caused ice
conditions to deteriorate in some areas; thin ice or open
water may be present at near-shore inflows and even in
areas mid-lake.

Lehigh Valley Argus found

accounts of unusual happenings
Condensed story from August 13, 1900 Argus...

As we read through the Lehigh Valley Argus we
found accounts of unusual happenings, some of which are
presented in their original form. The following story is
condensed from the August 13, 1900 Argus.

The Snake is a fake

About 1883 -- a Dr. Fleming, claiming to be a
snake charmer, drifted into Lehigh by way of Deception
Hollow. He claimed to have tracked a huge snake until
it crawled into its hole in Deception Hollow. He had imprisoned the snake by driving stakes at the entrance, and
he was in search of men to help him bag his quarry. Fleming had previously confided with two teenagers, James
Bass and Emanuel Lowe, about the proposed fake. They
were delighted and anxious to help.

A party of farmers was organized and after
building a cage, they proceeded to the place where the
snake was imprisoned. The cage was set in place, and a
fire started to smoke our the reptile. After a short time,
and to the surprise of everyone, a twenty-foot snake
emerged and was captured.

The snake was exhibited at Dayton, which raided the ire of the good people of the little town. The town
council held a special meeting and decided unanimously

that the snake had to go.

So the thing was brought to Lehigh and exhibited. After a few days the snake catcher was arrested
on the testimony of a few people who claimed that the
snake was a fake. However, upon further investigation by
the town officials, it was found to be a very remarkable
snake and the catcher was released. Old timers said the
far of getting into the clutches of the horrible monster
prevented a close examination.

The fake snake was exhibited at Fort Dodge
where a fee was charged for one peep at the huge reptile.
It was later sold to a side show operator who exhibited it
throughout one season with considerable financial success.

This snake, made a rubber, coils and springs,
was so cleverly designed by Dr. Fleming, the operator
could maneuver it into such frightening positions that the
onlooker conjured up visions of being attacked by a hideous monster from some-unknown jungle.

The fake snake prompted done writer to say,
It brought as much notoriety to Lehigh as the Cardiff
Giant did to Fort Dodge.

New #NotToBrag campaign brags

about Iowa art, history, film, culture
Iowans asked to share their brag. . .

It was a great night of Basketball for the Southeast Valley JH Girls who played at Pomeroy vs PAC.
The 7th grade came away with a thrilling 20-19 victory
behind and outstanding team effort with Haley Welter
leading the way with 10 points.

The Jags received outstanding effort in the guard
court from the trio of Madison Doyle and Sadie Nelson
and Ryann Shipley and very dominate post play from
Kyleigh Erritt who chipped in 6 points.

The Jags also received outstanding bench play
from the duo of Carly Davis and Jayden Gardapee which
resulted in one heck of a team effort and hard fought victory. The 7th grade is now 3-3 on the season.

The 8th grade continued their solid play with a
39-27 victory with Sydney Carlson having the hot hand
with 14 points. The Jags received very solid guard play
from the trio of Emily Jaeschke, Chloe Hicks and Emily
Hemmestad.

The Jags also received solid post play from the
trio of Morgan Farnham, Brielle Haub and Riley Nelson.
The Jags also received quality minutes off the bench from
the duo of Addie Correll and Allison Bethel. The 8th
grade improves their record to 5-1 on the season.

Not to brag, but the Iowa Department of Cultural
Affairs launched a new campaign Friday that showcases
Iowa and asks Iowans to share their best stories about the
states art, history, film and culture.

The #NotToBrag campaign kicked off with a
two-and-a-half minute video featuring a few famous and
not-so-famous Iowans talking about the people, places
and points of pride that define our state, including Norman Borlaug, Grant Wood, Simon Estes, Frank Lloyd
Wrights hotel in Mason City, the Iowa Writers Workshop, Iowa State Universitys invention of the digital
computer, and much more. In less than 48 hours, the new
video racked up more than 100,000 views on Facebook.

Weve had so many conversations with Iowans
across the state, and its clear that towns across the map
have too many of their own best-kept secrets, Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs Director Mary Cownie said.
This campaign gives them a chance to share those stories online in a significant way. It gives them a license to
brag.

The new campaign will feature a series of videos
produced by the Department of Cultural Affairs that brag
about milestones, accomplishments and achievements related to Iowa culture. So Iowans are encouraged to create
and post their own Not to Brag videos and post them
online with the campaign hashtag: #NotToBrag. No topic
is too big, small or unusual.

The campaign rolls out in conjunction with the
states 170th birthday, on Dec. 28, and aims to unlock the

knowledge of Iowans and the DCA staff, engaging the

entire state through the stories we share in common and
building partnerships between the department, communities, organizations and individual Iowans.

So, Iowa, whats your brag? Go ahead and post
a photo, video or just a simple note online with the campaign hashtag. #NotToBrag, but this might go viral.
