Landus Cooperative was established today withfinal merger agreement signed by farmer board membersof Farmers Cooperative Company (FC) and West Cen-tral Cooperative. Landus Cooperative is a farmer-owned agri-cultural cooperative, headquartered in Ames, Iowa thathas a global reach and a local touch with more than 725full-time employees at locations in more than 70 commu-nities in Iowa and Minnesota and approximately 7,000

member-owners. “While today’s signing ceremony to formalize

Landus Cooperative is historic for our employ-ees, our communities and the greater coopera-

tive industry, we are focused on what this merg-er means for our customers and members going

forward,” said newly appointed Chief Execu-tive Officer, Milan Kucerak who formerly

served as President and CEO at West Central.

“Merging two strong cooperatives allows furtherdiversification throughout the supply chain and opens lo-cal and global opportunities for added value and growthon behalf of our members,” added Kucerak. “In short, thepurpose of this merger is to make two cooperative orga-nizations better than either one could be separately foremployees, members and customers.” The cooperative’s interim website, now avail-able at LandusCooperative.com, includes profiles of the

newly named executive team, board member listing, aswell as an explanation of the company name and logo.

Kucerak noted that, like any merger of two or-ganizations, full integration is still underway. “We havebeen preparing for this integration date since the member-ship vote was announced,” he said. “While our customersand members will immediately begin to see our new logoon vehicles and at locations in addition to equipment andservice sharing, complete integration of our accountingand operational systems is likely to take many months.” Kucerak stressed the cooperative’s transitionplans for customers. “We plan to make this transition aseasy and streamlined for our customers and their opera-tions as possible.”

The merger was approved by a vote by each co-operative’s membership finalized on Dec. 18, 2015. Each

membership met Iowa’s state voting requirement for asuccessful cooperative merger as certified by indepen-dent auditing firm Gardiner Thomsen. Iowa law requiresat least 50 percent of each membership (plus one) to vote,with two-thirds of those casting ballots to approve the

I attended Victory Lutheran church in Mesathis past Sunday with my brother Denis. My motherRosalie was bothered by a sore back and wasn’t able to

attend. Pastor Larry Kassebaum offered this story. ABrooklyn Dodgers baseball fan as a young boy was tak-en to a World Series game between his Dodgers and theNew York Yankees. The Yankees won the game and fordecades this man was very upset that the Yankees wonso handily. He was explaining his misfortune to a frienddecades later. The friend listened and then in an amazedvoice he said: “You mean you actually were there to see DonLarson’s perfect no-hit game?” As Christians we may look at an event or situa-tion in a negative manner, when in fact what is happen-ing has many positive consequences. If something bad happens we ask, Why me?Perhaps we should seek the opportunities being present-

ed. Also, we just don’t understand the moment. It happened to the disciples. They didn’t un-derstand the crucifixion nor did the understand the resur-rection. As humans it took time for them to grasp whathad happened.≈≈≈≈≈≈

My mother turned 89 on March 8 and I tookher and my brother Denis to dinner at the Sweet Tomatoin Tempe. For years the Sweet Tomato was a favoriterestaurant for her. It’s mostly a good memory for hertoday.

My mother is very active and doesn’t take anymedications. She was lifting a few too many fruit boxesrecently resulting in some back pain. I always discour-age my mother about lifting anything but she sometimesdoesn’t heed this type of advice.

I am just thankful that she is so healthy andactive at her age. She walks her little Yorkshire dog,swims occasionally, does housework every day, picksfruit off her trees, and cooks.

I reside a few blocks away and I do see her onmost days, or I call. I do a few little things to help butshe always seems to handle her problems quite well.≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

I was able to see Dale and Kay Miller, Gowrie,a few times. I didn’t get to Arizona until early March thisyear so I didn’t see them to much. One Sunday we attended our respective church-es and had Sunday brunch at Painted Mountain whichhas a fabulous golf course, great view of the SuperstitionMountains, and very nice restaurant.

On this particular Sunday the Kehoe familyfrom Gowrie was also there with other friends. Dale and Kay reside in Apache Junction whichis very close to Dreamland Villa, my 55 plus commu-nity. Dale and Kay always give me good perspec-tives on farming, family, and on developments in Iowaand our area. We discussed everything from the BakkenPipeline to the new superintendent for both school dis-tricts. I sure enjoy their company.≈≈≈≈≈≈

For the past few years I’ve help organize ablock gathering for our long block of neighbors on EastEllis. We had it on Saturday, March 19, at my adja-

cent neighbor’s home, Ralph and Iona. It was Ralph’s94th birthday that day and the following Saturday Ionaturned 92. They are both doing so well. Ralph recentlysecured a four-year driver’s license. The two will cel-ebrate their 73rd wedding anniversary on May 29. Jack, my neighbor across the street, is 85 thisyear and decided to sell his motorcycle last fall. But heand his wife Beverly remain very active.≈≈≈≈≈≈

I reside in Maricopa County in Arizona, whichis the fastest growing county in the nation.

But Maricopa County was recently in the newsfor a very dumb thing. The county over the past twopresidential elections reduced the number of polling lo-

cations from over 400 to just 60 this year. This resultedin long lines of voters in their recent primary election;some voters waited more than four hours to vote.

The story made national headlines and hope-fully the county will correct this mistake soon.≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

Words cannot express our love and gratitude toall who shared in our loss, with cards, calls and memo-ries. Special thank you to all the staff at Gowrie Care

Center where Mom called home for the last few years.She truly felt loved there. In the last few months we wereblessed to be connected with Community Hospice/ Stew-art Memorial Community Hospital. Everyone involved inour journey made such a difference. We are so gratefulto you all.

Mother’s Love lives on... in her wise words. in the way she shaped who you are. in wonderful memories that will always bless your heart.

God Bless and Thank you,The family of Nellie Summers

“Remember that in a race everyone runs,but only one person gets the prize. Youalso must run in such a way that you willwin!” Corinthians 9:24

What would life be like if we made up our ownrules? Take the game of baseball. What if the pitcherdecided the strike zone was from the batter’s foreheadto his ankles? That would be good for the pitcher. Thenwhat would happen if the batter decided that it takes 25strikes to make an out. That would be good for the batter.But baseball would be total chaos.

The same applies to our lives. God isn’t goingto change His divine plan to accommodate our whims andwishes. God already has a rule book, and He wants us tofollow His rules. All the rules we need in life are in theBible, which is God’s rule book.

Are you in the game? Are we following therules God has set before us? It is time to get into thegame. We need to quit sitting on the sidelines because wedon’t the rules God has set for us. Get into life’s game.Our lives will be much better when we do. Prayer: Lord, help us follow the rules You haveset before us. Nudge us when we try to use our own rules.

In Jesus Holy Name, Amen

Dayton Review

The mind does wonder so I’m not sure wherethis one came from. Perhaps I was watching a retro TVmovie or ??? Perhaps it was some “modern” music thatmade me remember some of “my time”. I started takingpiano lessons in 1938 or 1939 and was at the age where Iwas developing a liking for the popular music of that day.It was probably a few years later that I finally got to ordera couple pieces of popular sheet music from the Sears &Roebuck catalog. Yes, they did sell about everything andif my memory is correct they cost approximately 35 centseach. The royalties must have been minute on those days. Those pieces of music were “Don’t Fence MeIn” and “South of the Border”, both leaning toward theCowboy genre. The best known singer/artist for both hadbeen Gene Autry. Eddie Arnold and Roy Rogers mayhave made their records of them too; at least did them ontheir radio programs/appearances and maybe movies. Ididn’t get to see many movies at the time. Perhaps that iswhy I enjoyed their TV programs with my children whenthey finally advanced to that entertainment venue. Are there any readers who remember the songgroup Sons of the Pioneers? They primarily did country/western type music and both sang in close harmony andplayed instruments. One of the original “sons” was RoyRogers who was known then by his birth name, LeonardSlye. When he got into acting and doing his “cowboy”movies and TV that name just didn’t “fit” so he becameRoy Rogers.

When he and his wife, Dale Evans, had theirTV program I noted one thing which seemed confusingand didn’t “fit in” but gave good fun too and that was“Nellybelle”, Pat Brady’s WWII type jeep that was al-ways conking out at the wrong time. The children neverquestioned it even though otherwise the program seemedmore like the turn of the century with old west settings,ranch, town, people, etc. Roy rode his famous horse,Trigger and Dale had Buttermilk and their dog, Bullet,was trotting along with them. Back at the ranch theirold buddy, Gabby Hayes, was doing all sorts of ranchchores and adding his own form of comedy. Each showwas basically the same, bad guys doing bad things, lookslike they’ll get away with it and may even bring harm tosomeone, but Roy and Dale come along to save the dayand Pat, eager to help, heads out in Nellybelle but Nel-lybelle doesn’t always perform as she should. However,everything comes out okay in the end and the bad guysare caught and disaster avoided. Our closest friends had children in the same agegroup as we did. Their daughter, Robin, about four or fiveyears old always said she wanted to be Roy Rogers (notDale) when she grew up. Roy and Dale (in real life)were known for their caring and kind heartedness. Royeven sang some with the Sons of the Pioneers and in later

life did go with them on some of their “gigs”, so it wasreported. The personnel of that group changed over theyears and they travelled around the country. It had to beIn the 80’s that the “Sons” were the feature show at thethen local Ingersoll dinner theater. My friend and I andanother couple attended that show. Those “boys” wereeven aging (many of originals having already met theirmaker) but they still had the same sound. They said that

The trails are still leading us...

in later times at their shows they would sometimes callRoy and he would talk to them long distance, the phonecall amplified to be heard by the audience but he was nolonger able to do even that. One of the still “signature”songs was sung, “Tumblin’ Tumble Weeds” soundingmuch the same as we recalled from earlier years and ofcourse, Roy and Dale’s theme song at the end, “HappyTrails to you, until we meet again ---“ a bit of a tear

jerker to those of us who more or less grew up with RoyRogers. Gene Autry, too, had a TV show but it appar-ently hasn’t taken the prominence in my memory bankthat Roy and Dale did or maybe it’s because he was notas popular with my children. When he sang “Don’tFence Me In” he had that “cowboy” twang to his voicethat was expected of the Western pictures singers. “Giveme land, lots of land under starry skies above---- Don’tfence me in.” That was what we were given to believeall people who went west wanted – lots of land and free-dom. He also had another favorite, “South of the Bor-der”. I don’t remember all the words now but it contin-ued, “down Mexico way”, probably leading to finding apretty senorita. So, I grew up on songs that had memorablemelodies and words and you could understand them.Even the crooners a bit later, Sinatra, Crosby, Como ---sang songs that soon had one humming and singing toyourself or with others. Those were some of my “goodold days”. Children of today would probably laugh or atleast “tee hee” a bit to hear some of those old ditties nowbut then they will remember their music as fondly. Oh,we had some doozies too – “Three little fishies, in anitty bitty pool – and they fam and they fam all over thedam’. Boop boop, dit-em dat-em wa-tem choo”. Yeah,I remember Kay Kyser (a guy) and Ish Kabible who hadthe bangs haircut way before the Beatles. Hang in there a few more years and entertain-ment and music will change again.

The top three students testing in each area re-ceived a medallion, along with a scholarship to Iowa Cen-tral for the program they tested in. First place winners re-ceived $200 scholarships, second place winners received$150 scholarships, and third place winners received $100scholarships. Each program also awards prizes donated

by sponsoring companies from the area.

In 1902, the telephone exchange was set up, firstas an experiment. Private lines were set up on fence postsby Theodore Stromblad in Harcourt. The first office wasin the Wassgren home and Ada Wassgren was the firstoperator. The street address of this house is 115 SouthWood Street, the home of Keith Moenck. (The houseacross the street from this one was also one of the earlyhomes in Harcourt. It is the Bruce Harrison home at 110Wood Street.) Ada, as a child of eight years, moved with her

parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Wassgren and family into thecommunity in 1886, three years after the founding of thevillage. When she came to Lost Grove Township, all onecould see for miles were prairies, ponds and swamps. Lost Grove, a group of trees, was the landmarkfor miles around and people knew where they were whenthey saw it. Ada was telephone operator for many years andwas well known for saying “Allow, Allow” when an-swering calls. She knew her patrons by name and oftendid special favors for them. All three of Ada’s nieces worked for her at dif-ferent times. They were Le Ila Nelson Wassgren, JeanetteNelson Larson and Velma Nelson Kling. Tillie Engquist,

Ada Wassgren and the telephone exchange First phone in Harcourt, 1902...

Christine Johnson, Phyllis Lundvick, Ethel Phipps, andLily Peterson were also telephone operators. Ada’s father August Wassgren was born inSweden on Sept. 9, 1847, and died Dec. 8, 1920. Stina Lotta Johnson Wassgren was also born inSweden. They were united in marriage on May 18, 1877. In May, 1881, they and their oldest childrencame to America and settled near Dayton, Iowa. In 1886,they moved to Harcourt. In 1893, they joined the Lutheran Church in

Harcourt. Their children were Ada, Carl, Emma, Hannah,and Mamie. The daughter, Emma, married Andrew Nelson,a long time resident of Harcourt.

An upcoming broadcast of Inside Edition willfeature the unlikely pairing of Jill Viles of Gowrie andOlympic bronze medalist, Priscilla Lopes Schliep. Viles,and her husband, Jeremy, will travel to western Nebraskafor filming, along with a producer and film crew from thenews magazine show. Taping will occur early in April,with the show to air shortly thereafter on a date yet to bedetermined. Jill and Priscilla gained international attentionas it was reported they share a mutation in the same gene,nuclear lamin, at nearly the same genetic location. This

genetic alteration alters steroid signaling in the cell.In the case of Viles, this leads to muscle weak-ness, specifically a condition called Emery-Dreifuss

uscular dystrophy, but in the case of Priscilla, greatlyenhanced muscle development and strength. Scientistshope to learn more, not only about Emery-Dreifuss mus-cular dystrophy, but a great deal about muscle develop-

ent in general.By studying the very rare muscle presentations

of Viles and Schliep, scientists hope to gain understand-ing of how to direct the body’s cells toward an anabolic,rather than catabolic pathway. Perhaps these studies

ay serve to help not only Viles, but millions around the

world who could benefit from enhanced anabolic devel-opment of muscle. Since the release of their story on an episode ofThis American Life, a radio program that airs on NPRstations in January of 2016, as well as a ProPublica sto-ry, written by David Epstein, the pair has been offered agenerous gift of free genetic screening of their respectivegenomes.

Viles’ and three of her siblings will participate,and scientists are eager to analyze her family’s genetics astwo siblings in her family have had a mild progression of

muscle weakness, while Jill and her brother, Aaron, haveexperienced more severe difficulties with muscle devel-opment. It is hoped that this study may identify “modifi-er genes” that direct the cell in one metabolic direction orthe other. Additionally, Priscilla’s body appears to havebeen able to circumvent muscle growth limiting stepsmost athletes encounter upon training, so perhaps analy-sis of her genome may pinpoint how she is able to do this.Even just a few years ago, such a comprehensive study ofan entire genome would have taken years, but with recentadvances in biotechnology, this can be done in a matter ofhours. The genetic testing will be conducted by HudsonAlpha, a research laboratory in Alabama, and the results

WEBSTER COUNTYENGINEER’S

LEGAL PUBLICATION - NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Public Hearing on Fiscal Year 2017 Budget and Five Year ConstructionProgram for the Webster County Secondary Road Department will be heldduring the regular meeting of the Webster County Board of Supervisorsat 10:00 A.M., Tuesday, April 12, 2016 in the Board of Supervisors Room,Courthouse, Fort Dodge, Iowa.

Randall J. Will, Webster County Engineer

It seems rather quiet when you walk through theCapitol this week, but House and Senate AppropriationCommittees continue to work on how budget allocationsare to be distributed. With the Revenue Estimating Committee es-timating $176.7 million in revenue growth to allocateFY17, the level of spending growth for educations willbe 2.25%, or $153.8 million of new funding for K-12schools. That is a significant investment in our localschools. Other priorities like Medicaid and public safetyremain as key topics of the state budget.

Appropriation subcommittees consist of Ad-ministration of Regulation, Agriculture and Natural Re-sources, Economic Development, Health and HumanServices, Justice System and Transportation. With oureducation priorities funded at 43% of the state budget,this leaves half of our dollars to appropriate the remain-ing departments. With the discussion on the state budget andschool aid funding, many Iowans have been asking howthe state’s ending balance has been used over the pastfew years. The ending balance is the revenue collectedby the state but not spent. Below is a list of the variousways portions of the Ending Balance have been returnedto the taxpayers or used in other ways that help addresspriorities of Iowans. Returning it to the taxpayers – During the

2015 and 2016 legislative sessions, IRC coupling billshave been passed. These bills both took funds from theending balance and returned them to the taxpayers. Theamounts were for 2015 and 2016: $196. 56 Million. Taxpayers Trust Fund - Some funds that mayhave gone into the Ending Balance was deposited intoTaxpayers Trust Fund. $60 million dollars was depositedin the Taxpayers Trust Fund in FY 2013 and FY 2014.Taxpayers were returned $84.6 million in FY 2014 and$27.4 million in FY 2015. There is still $8.1 million inthe Taxpayers Trust Fund that will also be returned to thetaxpayers.

Lower State Tax collections - In the past twoyears, the revenue forecast for the General Fund has notbeen met by actual tax collections. In those cases, theEnding Balance is used to fill in the gap between pro-

jected revenues and actual revenues. In FY 2015, $127million of the ending balance was used to fund the differ-ence. It is expected that the amount needed in FY 2016will be $128.7 million. Filling the Cash Reserve Fund and the Eco-nomic Emergency Fund – By law, the state’s two re-serve funds are required to equal 10 percent of the Gen-eral Fund budget for that particular year. Over the lastfew years, funds remaining in the ending balance have

been used to add to the reserve funds.

The ending balance would then refillthe EEF once the payments have been made. Here arethe amounts that have been paid in recent years for Per-formance of Duty: FY 2013 - $26.15 million, FY 2014- $15.8 million, FY 2015 - $32.7 million, and FY 2016– payment has yet to be made Paying off state debt – During the 2013 legisla-

tive session, the General Assembly took a portion of theending balance - $113.8 million - and used that moneyto pay off four series of bonds issued by the State. Thebonds were: • Honey Creek Premier Destination Park Bonds • 2002 Prison Infrastructure Revenue Bonds; • 2010 Taxable I-Jobs Bonds; and • School Infrastructure Bonds. Making Strategic, One-time Investments inIowa - During the 2013 and 2015 legislative sessions, theGeneral Assembly also took part of the ending balancefor one-time investments. In 2013, the amount spent onthese was $64.5 million on economic development ini-tiatives, completing various infrastructure projects at theDept. of Corrections and the Board of Regents, and as-sisting UNI. In 2015, the amount spent was $57 million,

with $43 million of this to supplement the Medicaid pro-gram.

Short Week in the Iowa Senate This week was shorter than normal because of theEaster weekend. We primarily focused on committee workand approving gubernatorial appointments. Our scheduled finish date is April 19, and witha decision on our largest budget item, education funding,finalized, we should be able to work through the rest of theappropriation bills in a timely fashion. Medicaid Modernization goes into effect Friday

In anticipation of the Friday start date, the Sen-ate Human Resources Committee had their third meetingfocused on CMS Readiness Criteria and a panel of MCORepresentatives. Presenters included Mikki Stier, Iowa’s

Medicaid Director, Jean Slaybaugh, Iowa’s Department of Human Services CFO, and Liz Matney, the Managed CareBureau Chief.

The genesis of the modernization was that de-spite the dramatic growth in spending, Medicaid members’health outcomes have failed to improve. Since Medicaidpatients on average have more than four chronic condi-tions, see five different physicians, and see six differentprescribers, it is difficult to provide continuity of care. Bygoing to a managed care model for its Medicaid program,Iowa is utilizing nationally-experienced companies tocoordinate care in a way that makes Medicaid membershealthier and fits individual needs. Under the terms of the state contracts, the man-aged care organizations cannot immediately cut services orpay providers less than a base rate in order for those com-

panies to earn profits. The terms also provide that thoseIowans currently in a nursing home will see no change forat least two years.

Since Governor Branstad’s announcement aboutmoving to managed care here in Iowa, there have beenmore than 350 public meetings, trainings and listeningsessions with members, providers and stakeholders. Notall of these were conducted solely by the Iowa MedicaidEnterprise (IME). A whole host of stakeholders were in-volved, such as the Departments of Human Services, Pub-lic Health, Aging, Inspections and Appeals, Insurance Di-vision, and Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. Monday we will start to get feedback and we willcontinue to monitor the modernization as it progresses andeveryone hopes for a smooth transition. Iowa Hearing Protection Act Signed By Governor

The Governor on Thursday signed HF 2279, le-galizing the use of firearm suppressors. This means anyonewanting to purchase a suppressor would have to complywith federal law. The federal law requires a person to be aresident of the U.S., legally eligible to purchase a firearm,pass a background check by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobac-co Firearms and Explosives (ATFE), pay a onetime $200transfer tax per suppressor, live in a state that authorizessuppressors, and be at least 21.

The passage of this bill means Iowa will be join-ing 41 other states that allow their citizens to possess a sup-pressor. I voted for this bipartisan bill and it passed theIowa Senate 46-4 on March 17, 2016 and the Iowa House78-21 on March 22.
