SWG Elementary awarded Preschool Shared Visions grant Three Year Old Preschool Program tuition free... The Southeast Webster-Grand three year old preschool program is tuition free thanks to the district be-ing awarded roughly $71,000 through the Shared Visions Preschool Program grant. Mr. Grandfield shared that out of an estimated $87,000 budget, the district will be responsible for about $16,000 thanks to the grant being awarded. The school scored 197.5 out of a possible 224, and was one of 89 applications the Department of Educa-tion received. Also this is the first time it was chosen to be a competitive grant for the 2015-2016 school year and

beyond. It is now open to all schools with a 3 year old program, public or private across the state. Previously, SWG was automatically receiving the grant since 1998, being only one of two schools in the entire Prairie Lakes AEA to receive the Shared Visions Grant. The funding is awarded for the July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016 fiscal year. Grants are awarded for one year with a renewal option up to five years provided grantees

Searching for Dayton man’s family My name is Reggie Cooper and I'm trying to locate family or friends of a Dayton man who some in the Dayton area may know. As I share this story with you it is from my recollection of some Dayton History and locations of buildings. This information may help someone remember him, his name was Wendell Youngstrom. From the letters I found written by Wendell to my parents Orrin and June Cooper it looks as if he had a wife named Velma. My story of Wendell starts with my birth in Day-ton, March the 1942 my father worked for Wendell in a body shop ether owned by Wendell or managed by him. Dad was making about $16.00 dollars a week. When I was born he was given a $2.00 a week raise, I remember mom telling me they didn't quite know what to do with the extra money. WWII had already started and it wasn't long af-ter that Wendell closed the body shop. On looking at the photos that Wendell had given my parents it looks like Wendell graduated from High School from about 1937 to 1939 or maybe as early 1935. In one of Wendell's letters he stated that he was going to re-open the body shop as soon as the war was over, that letter was written March 29th 1943. I guess that he did re-open the body shop at the end of the war but I'm not for sure. It may help someone remember this man as I share the location of the body shop I'm talking about. The location of buildings and this shop are as I remember while growing up in Dayton. I don't know the names of streets in Dayton so my information is based on direc-tion of travel on Hi-way 175. East, West direction of 175 (Main Street to me) then 175 makes a right turn going South past the Dayton Rodeo Grounds. At that time Dayton Rodeo Grounds was on top of the hill where the Dayton Golf Course is now. The body shop was located on the East and West portion of Main Street (175) on the South side of the street. Start-

ing on the East end of the block there was a restaurant, small shoe cobbler shop, Jim Richie's Barber, a North and South alley, Youngstrom"s Body Shop, several oth-er small buildings one a tavern, and the West end of the block on the corner was Ivan Skoglund's Conoco Gas Station. The reason for all this information is this: I have letters written to my parents, three pictures of Wendell. One of those pictures is in a beautiful WWII framed and tinted 8"X 10" Photograph of Wendell. I feel as though I just can't just throw them away without trying to find his family or friends of his family who may want them. Reggie Cooper928 S Ash St.Newton, KS 67114

Accident north of DaytonDavid Sunk, of Ames, lost control of his motorcycle

Sunday on McGuire Bend Road just north of Dayton. He was taken to Ft. Dodge with minor injuries.

By Alice Johnson The grip of winter holds fast as it usually does

during the month of February. However, 20 Dayton Dreamer's members and one guest met at the Community Center at noon on February 19th.

After the table prayer was sung, we enjoyed a meal that was very scrumptious.......spaghetti with meat sauce, French bread, lettuce salad and Tiramusi, a de-lightful Italian dessert.

President Reck opened the business meeting by leading us in saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. President Reck stated that due to the fact that she does not have Wi-Fi, she was unable to obtain the minutes and treasurer's report of our last meeting in December from Secy./Treas. Alice Johnson who was absent. The

Dayton Dreamers announced birthdays and urged attendance at meat locker meeting

minutes and treasurer's reports will be available at our next meeting which will be held at noon on March 19.

The January and February birthdays were ac-knowledged as follows: Sister Lois Lehman on January 9; Chester Youngren, Jan. 10; Bev Strandberg Jan. 19; Imogene Hanson, February 1; Julia Rieken Feb. 8; Ma-donna Stickel Feb. 9: Alice Johnson and Lucy Hagge on Feb. 18 and Dick Heslop, Feb. 27.

Planning the menu for March was next on the agenda. It was decided to have Shepherd's pie, angel food cake topped with strawberries and cool whip, Irish soda bread, and lastly a green jello/pear dessert in obser-vance of St. Patrick's Day. Motion was passed to accept the menu as planned, seconded and passed.

New business consisted of a discussion of the pending meat-locker that is under consideration to be lo-cated next to the store in Dayton. We were urged to at-tend the forthcoming meeting in regard to this issue. President Reck announced that Stratford will be hosting a chicken dinner from 11:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. this Sunday. Cost of meal is $10.00.

Because there was no more business to discuss, motion was made for the meeting to adjourn, seconded and passed. Any area senior citizen who is 55 yrs. and older are welcomed to attend our meetings. They are held at noon on the third Thursday of the month. For reserva-tions, please call either President Reck at 547-2948 or Secretary Johnson at 359-2630. We will be happy to see you!

ends. With a very sharp knife, cut the pota-toes into thin slices about 1/4 inch wide.Add the fries to a large bowl and cover with

cold water. Allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes but they can soak for as long as overnight. (Place in the fridge if soaking more than an hour).After the fries have soaked, drain, rinse,

and lay the fries on a paper towel lined cool-ing rack to dry while you preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Blot the tops with additional paper towels to absorb any excess moisture.Line a baking pan with parchment paper

or foil and spray with non-stick spray. Make sure the previously used bowl is dry and add the potatoes to it, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil and 1/2 – 1 Tablespoon of the seasoning mixture based on how much salt you prefer. Toss around to mix.Evenly line the baking pan with the fries in a

The second in a series of three indoor concerts by the Karl L. King Municipal Band of Fort Dodge will be held Sunday afternoon, March 15, at 3:30 p.m., at the Decker Auditorium on the campus of Iowa Central Com-munity College.

There is no admission charge, since these concerts are provided by the City of Fort Dodge. Conductor of the band is Jerrold P. Jimmerson, and the Assistant Conduc-tor is Dr. David Klee.

This concert, is the band’s traditional Irish Concert in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Many familiar Irish tunes will be performed, including everyone’s favorite, “McNamara’s Band”, as arranged by former conductor Reginald R. Schive. Other Irish selections on the pro-gram include “Fantasy On An Irish Air” by David Gor-ham, Leroy Anderson’s “The Girl I Left Behind Me” from his Irish Suite, and “Carrickfergus”, a traditional Irish folk song named after a town in Northern Ireland. March selections to be performed include “Spirit of Min-strelsy” and “Bon Voyage”, both composed by the band’s namesake, Karl L. King.

A beautiful tone poem, “Mannin Veen” by Haydn

Wood will be the afternoon’s classical highlight. Sub-titled “Dear Isle of Man”, this collection of well-known, traditional Manx folk melodies includes “The Good Old Way”, “The Manx Fiddler”, “Sweet Water in the Com-mon”, and “The Harvest of the Sea”. The Isle of Man is a self-governing British Crown dependency located in the Irish Sea between the islands of Great Britain and Ire-land. The head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, who holds the title Lord of Mann. The island has been inhabited by humans since before 6500 BC. As one of the six Celtic nations, Gaelic cultural influence began in the 5th century AD, and the Manx language, a branch of the Gaelic lan-guages, gradually emerged.

Special guest soloist will be Dan Cassady, a regu-lar member of the Karl L. King Municipal Band for 35 years and a frequent trombone soloist. Mr. Cassady will perform the classic trombone solo, “Atlantic Zephyrs” by Gardell Simons, along with the traditional Irish favorite, “Londonderry Air”. Cassady is a retired music educa-tor who currently works as a sales associate and brass instructor at West Music in Coralville, and adjunct pro-fessor at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids. Previously he taught music and directed band programs at Fort Dodge Senior High School, Iowa Central Com-munity College, and St. Edmond High School.

He currently works as trombonist with Jive For Five, East Side Jazz Team, Cedar Rapids Municipal Band, and the Cedar Rapids Big Band.

Also featured on this concert will be the popular area Brass Quintet, Jive For Five. Group members in addi-tion to trombonist Dan Cassady include Tim Miller from Humboldt on trumpet, David Swaroff from Dayton on trumpet, Kathy Yoakam from Humboldt on French Horn, and Paul Bloomquist from Dayton on Tuba. They will perform the Paul Nagle composition, appropriately titled “Jive For Five”. Guest conductor for this selection will be Dr. Michael Golemo, director of bands at Iowa State University in Ames, and the arranger for this selection.

Roger Netz, from Manson, long-time member of the Saxophone section in the King Band, will lead the audience in a sing-along of two traditional Irish favor-ites, “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling” and “My Wild Irish Rose”.

This concert will close with our national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” In case of inclement weather, the concert will be cancelled.

The third concert will be April 12, at 3:30 p.m. at Decker Auditorium at ICCC.

This Friday is the first funnel for the 2015 leg-islative session. The funnel is the self-imposed deadline by the House and the Senate to provide a way to cut off debate on bills and move them through the legislative process. Without such a deadline, contentious bills are simply postponed without resolution or compromise. So, each bill must make it out of its respective committee by Friday or it is considered “dead” for this session. Sometimes, in an effort to get by the funnel, some bills that are not quite agreed on, move out of its respective committee. That means we are occasionally asked to vote “yes” on a bill we have already acknowledged is not in its final form and will be amended on the Senate floor during debate. The result of this process is you may end up voting one way in committee and another on the Sen-ate floor if the changes do not end up as expected. Here are several notable bills that look as if they will not make it past the funnel: Senate Joint Resolution 10 proposes an amendment of the Iowa Constitution to put the current 99 percent expenditure limitation found in Iowa Code into the Iowa Constitution. The amendment also would place a cap on the growth in expenditures. This is a pro-taxpayer amendment to ensure the legislature controls spending. Senate Joint Resolution 11 adds the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to the Iowa Consti-tution, including the judicial standard of strict scrutiny. Strict scrutiny is a form of judicial review the courts use to determine the constitutionality of certain laws. To pass strict scrutiny, the legislature must have passed the law to further a “compelling governmental interest,” and must have narrowly tailored the law to achieve that interest. Senate File 390 would keep personal informa-tion confidential for those Iowans granted personal carry

gun permits. Senate File 389 would require the Iowa De-partment of Human Services to adopt rules to require any applicant for program services supported by public fund to prove they are a legal resident of the United States. Senate File 388 sought to end using payroll deductions for public employee union dues. Let me be clear, public sector employees could still belong to a union and pay dues. It would simply take the state out of the business of collecting those dues. Senate File 387 is a voter ID bill requiring photo identification in order to vote. This is a common-sense change to protect the integrity of our elections. There is still a lot of work to be done and after the upcoming Revenue Estimating Conference, I expect the revenue growth of the state to be lowered. This will mean the Governor’s submitted budget will need to be revised to reflect those lower numbers. As always, I want to hear from you. My Senate number is (515) 281-3371 and my home number is (515) 432-7327. Write me at: State Capitol, Des Moines, IA 50319 or at my home address: 1313 Quill Avenue, Boone, IA 50036. Email me at [email protected].

Lt. Governor Reynolds to visit ICCC March 13

In the morning she will be visiting the Boone County Historical Society.

King Band second concert March 15At Decker Auditorium...


Back in time to Boone

If you have been a reader of these musings you are aware that I sometimes reminisce about what it would be like if I could “go home again”, back to my days in Box-holm, particularly those of my high school years. Even with a war on during most of those years they were good ones for me. I was involved in several school activities, none of them athletic, and had friends with whom to con-verse and enjoy special times.

One of the things that we, as a family did, my friends and I did, and our school groups did – that was to go down to Boone for various reasons. Before we had moved into town, trips were made either to Boone or Fort Dodge when families needed to stock up on big bags of flour and sugar. It was cheaper at the “big” stores in those cities. Farm families did a lot of baking which took both items and most of the Swedish people loved their coffee, lots of it, and very sweet. (How times have changed, eh?)

There were two bigger grocery stores (not known as super markets yet), one at the north end of the “main” business street, Story, and the other one at the south end, the fairly new establishment known as Fareway. I have wondered if that was a play on “fair” meaning fair pricing or “fare” as in fare well, to do well in endeavors or life. Seems to me that either fit the intended picture. However some research says the name was chosen because “fare” meant food as in “bill of fare”. It was also because they wanted to be fair to both employees and customers, offer-ing employees fair wages and customers fair prices and services, so I wasn’t totally wrong in my thinking.

The Fareway was established in Boone in May of 1938 by the Beckwith family and I believe descendants are still involved in this business which has grown into a sizeable chain and is still doing business the “Fair-way” with their pricing and belief that they can fare well even when closing on Sundays. As long as my Mom was alive and then when my Dad was able, the trips were made to Boone to Fareway. After all at the meat counter you could pick out your favorite of the display and they would divide a roast to your liking. Mom liked that.

Once in a while they would drive on over to Hy-Vee after the Fareway shopping but that was just to splurge on a deli meal or two to take home. I have friend who has nicknamed their new store “Far away” since they are fur-ther away. But that is how things are these days, homes and businesses keep moving and along with them new city boundaries. I have not been in that new Fareway nor in the new Walmart but imagine it is just a clone (maybe a bit smaller) of the one in my neighborhood.

In my youth “we girls” would take the interurban down to Boone and have plenty of time to go shopping (admittedly mostly looking). All of our items didn’t come from Sears or Wards catalogs. Woolworths was a promi-nent place and we could spend quite a bit of time in that store. “Theme” pins (plastic, Bakelite as I recall ) were “in” then and one time we were able to get one that was a rectangular frame and room for three interchangeable letters.

The clerk would assemble for you. We got one with a blue frame and the white letters “BHS”. Wonder what happened to all of those pins. Young men would decorate the inside area above the windshields of their cars with them and it was a challenge to see who had the most, especially ones they had been purloined or coaxed from one of the girls. My cousin had a lot of them in his Model A Ford.

Shoes and clothes shopping was available on Story Street too. There was a large shoe store (was it Fisher’s at that time?) on the SW corner of Story and & I think 7th Street. That was back when there were salesmen (no women there) who brought their little stool with the slant where you put your feet and took that “measurer”, getting your size. Then came the parade of shoes. Hmmm – such decisions. Well, we usually went home without them as we had no money for them nor did we have a shoe stamp – required during war for the leather ones of which most were then made.

We could go to J.C. Penney’s and to Spurgeon’s, look at and try on clothes with the same outcome, no money for them. But at Spurgeon’s you could put things on lay-away for only a $1.00 and a $1.00 a week if you didn’t go “too high on the hog”. There was a locally owned clothing store toward the south too but I don’t remem-ber the name. Its prices were a bit out of the range for a teenager’s meager earnings but we still looked. Just off Story St. was People’s where my Dad bought Oshkosh (by-gosh) overalls and everyday blue chambray shirts. I think that is the place where my two older boys’ first little pair of Oshkosh overalls were purchased by Grandpa.

We had to watch our time as we didn’t dare miss the last train going northwest. Even though it wasn’t that far by today’s standards, still we didn’t call (long distance

– reverse the charges) and ask a father to come and get us. We wanted to retain our shopping trip privileges. If we hadn’t taken the time somewhere midway of our little jaunt, we would head to McCaskey’s Café for a drink and bite to eat. Is my memory correct in that they made some good thick old fashioned malts and gave you the can holding what wouldn’t fit into the glass? That was probably all the real spending we had done. This was a long time popular Story Street business.

Another inviting business in Boone was Boyd’s Ice Cream – yum. I think it may have been on the north end but in later years, even after I married and had small chil-dren, was on the south end next to the Boone Blank Book Company across from what is now the Boone County Historical Society Building. But before I leave Boone I also remember two other businesses, the Holst Hotel and First National Bank – AND the big clock towering above the walk at that corner. The Holst family was a well- known Boone family at the time. We didn’t realize Mamie Eisenhower had been born in Boone (the family moved soon after she was born) until after the war when she and the General made their post war visit to Boone.

Now when I drive on Story Street it is just as if the ghosts of times past are hovering over it. I remember my parents being a bit perturbed by Walmart’s coming to town. It was “too big”. (If they could see it now).

The size wasn’t the main reason. They had always gone down to Pamida and now Walmart was squeezing it out.

It would also be fun to walk into the roller skating rink where we liked to go, just with friends or on an all high school party. I was never good at roller skating (a tinge above ice skating) but had fun and enjoyed it as long as no smart-aleck tripped me and I had a wall to stop me.

Memories are great and it would be fun to somehow relive some of them for a few fleeting moments, but this thing we hope is progress keeps the wheels turning and we must roll along with it or get left behind. I am still in it for the ride. Just hope it doesn’t go to fast and I fall off.

By: Nicole Presley Using salvaged parts from two houses to build his

childhood home, David Satterlee’s father built a house for his family on Jackson Street in Kansas City, Missouri.

“I didn’t realize how poor we were at the time, but he made the best of it. He built a home for us in central Kansas City that we lived in until we had to move,” said David. “That was about the time of the race riots. I was getting threatened and chased regularly on my way home from third grade.”

At an early age, David discovered an interest in elec-tronics. His mother had given him his first kit with a box that contained a motor that once pieced together, would work.

“You wind it up and you follow the instructions and put a battery and it was a motor and it actually turned. I’ve been interested in technology ever since,” said Da-vid.

After graduating high school in 1971 David tried to find a job that had anything to do with electronics. His first job he repaired CB Radios in a shop, which lead to working on two-way radios.

“One winter I hiked up the back of Laramie Peak in Wyoming in snow shoes in order to fix a repeater that served ranchers out in Nebraska,” said David.

After this he worked at Hallmark on maintenance for mobile warehouse elevators, and later he worked at AMICO Oil in process control. This led to an interest in computers and into the engineering division.

He helped a series or project works that led to the largest data acquisition system of it’s kind in the world, according to David. He had designed the first plant-wide data acquisition system that collected data and then later operated the second system installed.

In 2004 David married Diana after meeting her on Match.com, a dating website. They had both previously been married for about 27 years to their fist spouses. After meeting Diana in Russell, Iowa, they married three weeks later.

“We both thought the other was the kindest person we’d ever met. We just couldn’t quit spending time with each other,” said David.

“I remember that we were brutally frank, almost

anxious, to reveal our worst characteristics so we could get that out of the way; with the unspoken understanding that we were for each other and we were going to spend the rest of our lives together and we might as well no have any surprises later,” said David.

After leaving AMICO David started writing books. He has written five books total, all of which can be found online at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. Chum For Though: Throwing Ideas into Dangerous Waters, Build-ing Your Network Business: Proven Ideas from Success-ful Leaders, Honoring My Father: Coming to Terms, Life Will Get You in the End: Short Stories by David Satterlee and The Role of Productivity in Community Success: The Jesuit Gearaní Cultural Confluence.

world a better place and to express himself. Since he is retired and disabled from various illnesses David uses this time to read and write.

Accompanying his books David also has two blogs that he writes. His blog sociodynamics.org is an issues blog, which discusses his personal life, his community and other social developments. His second blog davidsat-terlee.com is solely committed to his writing.

Unfortunately David has also suffered from a stroke a couple of years ago while on vacation with his wife, Diana. While the stroke slowed down his physical health, his speech and his thinking process, he was determined to recover.

Since David’s home office is upstairs his family tried to convince him to move it downstairs since suffering the stroke, but they were unsuccessful.

“I could have moved somewhere else, but I said, ‘I’m going to keep going up and down those stairs to my office,’” said David.

“Because he’s so stubborn he’s about totally recov-ered,” said Diana. “He scooted up (the stairs) backwards, after his stroke, to make sure that the could get to his office.”

David also encourages his readers to talk to him about ideas from his books. One of David’s goals is to encourage people to discuss ideas.

“I would just love to have somebody come up to me

and say, ‘I read this book and I want to ask you some questions. It hasn’t happened,” said Da-vid. “I want to talk about these ideas. I want somebody to engage with about what’s impor-tant. I kind of miss that.”

Part of David’s enthusiasm to talk about ideas comes from a quote that Eleanor Roos-evelt once said discussing what people talk about.

“Some people like to talk about people, like gossip. Some people like to talk about events, like what happened at the game last night. Some people like to talk about ideas. That was a life changing quotation to read and I’ve ben trying to aim up the ladder ever since.”

“More Living, Less Pain” presented at SMCH

Stewart Memorial Community Hospital (SMCH) welcomed over fifty people at the March “Lunch Con-nection” event. The program featured Dr. Adam Swisher and certified registered nurse anesthetist Trevor Capron who spoke on “More Living, Less Pain.”

Dr. Swisher, a board certified doctor of osteopathic medicine, focused on avoiding long-term medications for chronic pain by using osteophathic manipulation. Much as a chiropractor adjusts the spine, osteopathic manipu-lation seeks to properly align the body’s bones which affects the muscles, which in turn, impacts the nerves, lessening the pain. The process seeks to correct what is causing pain, including colic with infants, migraines, and conditions like fibromyalgia, by working on the structure of the body. Dr. Swisher, who works at McCrary Rost Clinic in Gowrie, works closely with the physical and


Trevor Capron, certified registered nurse anesthetist, educated the group about the types of treatment he can ad-minister to reduce chronic pain.

Southeast Valley students in the front row left to right are Katelyn Pliner, Hannah Peterson, and Nicole Williams.

To the Editor Iowa’s working families are struggling. That’s one

reason why a record number of Iowa children, more than 40%, live in poverty.

On Tuesday, February 24, State Senator Jerry Behn of Boone had two chances to help working families. He voted no each time.

Senate File 269 would raise Iowa’s minimum wage to $8.75 an hour over two years. The other, Senate File 270, would strengthen our laws against wage theft, which costs Iowa workers $600 million a year.

Iowa’s minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 an hour for the last seven years. All but one of Iowa’s neigh-boring states have higher minimum wage laws. Does Senator Behn want Iowa to be a magnet for the very low-est paying employers, people who pay much less than Wal-Mart?

While the legislation passed the Senate with biparti-san support, Senator Behn refused to help boost the pay of 181,000 Iowa workers. A minimum wage of $8.75 an hour is worth $147 million more for minimum wage workers, money which would have been spent in our lo-cal communities.

Wage theft is everything from taking unauthorized paycheck deductions to shorting hours to flat out refusing to pay. Iowa’s current laws are so weak, they are impos-sible to enforce.

Senate File 270 would make Iowa’s wage theft laws more straightforward, would require employers to keep a written record of the terms of employment, and protect whistleblowers from retaliation.

Almost all Iowans support the most basic right of every worker--the right to be paid what you are owed. Senator Behn, however, voted against tougher wage theft laws.

I don’t understand why. Most businesses already keep written re-cords of the terms of em-ployment. Why not make it harder for dishonest employers to cheat Iowa workers and compete un-fairly against honest Iowa businesses?

I’m writing because Senator Behn said noth-ing when he voted against helping Iowa’s working families, the people doing some of the most difficult jobs in our communities.

Please ask Sena-tor Behn why he voted to keep Iowa’s minimum wage far below the new Wal-Mart minimum wage and why he voted against helping Iowa workers get paid for the work they do.

If you’d like to know more, you can email me at [email protected] or call my cell phone, (319) 759-5334.

Trevor Capron, CRNA, then spoke about procedures used to manage chronic pain. He said a combination of physical therapy, injections and diet was the key to feel-ing better. Many in the audience were surprised to learn that tomato-based foods are known to bring on pain in some patients. Trevor described the types of treatment that he can perform to reduce chronic pain, including trig-ger point injections, epidural injections and nerve blocks, which are all offered at SMCH.

Many in the audience were surprised to learn that tomato-based foods are known to bring on pain in some patients. Trevor described the types of treatment that he can perform to reduce chronic pain, including trig-ger point injections, epidural injections and nerve blocks, which are all offered at SMCH.

The “Lunch Connection” is held four times at year at Stewart Memorial. The next session will be held June 4th, 2015. To learn more about the services Stewart Me-morial Community Hospital has to offer, visit us at www.stewartmemorial.org.

SMCH...Continued from page 7...


Are we clean inside? “The Lord does not see as mortals see; they look

on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7b

As Christians we should be clean inside - right? Or are we simply putting on a show for those around us? Do we put on a show of being kind, loving and generous to the world around us? How many times have we smiled and acted like a ‘Christian’ and not really felt God’s love coming from within us?

There comes a time when we must admit that we are wearing a mask to make those around us believe that we are good, devoted Christians. Maybe it is time to ask ourselves - ‘who are we fooling?’ When we honestly an-swer that question, we find we need to search deep within ourselves.

The story is told of an old man who lived on a farm in the mountains of Kentucky with his young grand-son. Each morning, Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading from his old worn-out Bible. His grandson wanted to be just like him tried reading his Bi-ble too.

One day the grandson said, “Papa, I try to read the Bible just like you but I don’t understand it. What good does reading the Bible do?” The Grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and said, “take this coal bucket down to the river and bring back a bucket of water.”

The boy did as he was told, even though all the water leaked out before he could get back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “you will have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back with the bucket to try again.

This time the boy ran as fast as he could, but again the bucket was empty before he could get back to the house. Out of breath, he told his grandfather “that it was impossible to carry water in that bucket.” The grandfather asked him to try once more, which he did, but when he reached his grandfather the bucket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, “See Papa, it’s useless!”

Grandpa said - “so you think it is useless? Look at the bucket. The boy looked at the bucket and for the first time realized that the bucket looked different. Instead of

the dirty old coal bucket, it was clean. “Son, that’s what happens when you read the Bible. You might not under-stand or remember everything, but when you read it, it will clean you from the inside out.”

May we can learn about how to be a true Chris-tian in the Bible.(I’m sure it is there.) God is working in our lives - to clean us from the inside out - to cleanse us as only God can cleanse us. It is called “forgiveness!”

Until next week...remember, the big news of the Bible is not that we love God...but that God loves us!

Despite China’s refusal to approve Syngenta’s GMO seed, Syngenta continued to sell its seed to U.S. corn farmers. When China banned U.S. corn imports, the price of corn fell dramatically, and corn farmers across the country lost BILLIONS of dollars.

Our team represented over 2000 individual farmers in the Rice GMO claim. We opposed the class action and secured more for the farmers we represented. Our group of lawyers will continue meeting with farmers with respect to each farmer’s individual Syngenta claim.

Outstanding work in care transitions at Stewart Me-morial Hospital has garnered the Iowa Healthcare Col-laborative’s (IHC) Patient Safety Grand Prize award. The 2015 IHC Patient Safety Awards were recently an-nounced and will be featured at the statewide Patient Safety Conference on March 12 at The Meadows Events & Conference Center in Altoona.

This award is presented to healthcare providers and/or healthcare organizations who have demonstrated out-standing leadership and achievement in patient safety. The Patient Safety Award aims to raise the standard of healthcare in Iowa by promoting a culture of continuous improvement in quality, safety, and value.

This award honors patient safety champions that support the following initiatives: improve patient safety; reduce the risk of harm; and keep patients at the center of care.

Stewart Memorial Community Hospital developed a transition coach project to share patient information across the care continuum and created a team which includes the quality advisor, director of nursing, health coaches, and clinic nursing supervisor, emergency room nurses and home care nurses. A key component to their success was establishing a dedicated transition nurse who coordinates care and looks at discharge barriers from ad-mission and involves the patient and family in the dis-charge process. Handover to home care or nursing home is more concise and continuity of care visits coordinated by the transition nurse

Kari Jones, Director of Nursing, comments, “This award is fantastic recognition and we are honored to have been chosen amongst all the great work being done through the IHC. Across the continuum of care, includ-ing the SMCH Emergency Room, the Inpatient units, Homecare, the McCrary Rost Clinics and the Community Pharmacies, the care of our patients is better streamlined and coordinated through our efforts this last year. We have seen wonderful improvement in this collaboration with the role of our transition coaches, Brooke Minnehan, RN, and Zacharina Winker, RN. Collaboration across the continuum of care, with our patients at the center, was our goal at SMCH. Hard work by all involved made this a reality.”

“We’re very proud of the work being done in Iowa,” said Dr. Tom Evans, President and CEO of IHC. “Patient safety is about eliminating unintended consequences of medical care. This award allows us to highlight some of the best efforts in our state as we work toward our vision of delivering the most effective and efficient health care in the nation.”

Brooke Minnehan, RN, answers a patient’s questions and educates her about her health concerns. The transition coach program has reduced the number of hospital readmissions and ensures continuity of care across the continuum of health care services.
