City leaders in Denison may take the “High Tech” route when it comes to Council meetings.
An electronic tablet, similar to the type being considered by the Denison City Council.
The Omaha World-Herald reports the Denison City Council may join other Crawford County entities such as the Denison Board of Education and Crawford County Board of Trustees, in using electronic tablets. Use of the tablets is designed to reduce the amount of paper waste generated when Council packets and agendas are assembled, and the delivering of those packets to members of the Council.
The newspaper says Denison City Council members discussed the tablet computer options during their meeting last week. The price for a tablet with a 10-inch screen would cost about $329 each, unless the City’s computer support provider can provide a better, bulk rate. Even if the City decides to purchase about eight of the tablets, the Denison City Clerk would still hold one set of paper copies at City Hall.
Administrators with the Denison School District have used electronic tablets for over a year, and this year purchased the gadgets for teachers, using the schools’ sales tax revenue. Denison Municipal Utility Board members also use similar pads, while the Crawford County Board of Supervisors have laptop computers. The World-Herald says last month, the trustees of Crawford County Memorial Hospital adopted a policy for board members’ use of electronic tablets, which will be issued to the board, at a later date.

A domestic disturbance Sunday evening in Red Oak resulted in the arrest of two people. According to Red Oak Police, 30-year-old Paul Earl Lemburg II and 28-year-old Johna Christine Dolph, both of Red Oak, were arrested for “Breach of Peace.” The pair was taken into custody in the 500 block of North 6th Street, in Red Oak. Lemburg faces additional charges that include Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Interference with Official Acts.
Lemburg and Dolph were being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $300 bond each.
A Drake University expert says the billion-dollar lawsuit filed against A-B-C News and others by Beef Products Incorporated over the stories that called its finely textured beef product “pink slime” will break some new ground. Neil Hamilton is the director of the Agricultural Law Center at the Des Moines school. “You never know how a case might come out, but it’s certainly going to be an uphill battle because there are a number of important First-Amendment issues and other issues as well as issues of interpretation of the South Dakota law they are filing it under. But I’m sure their attorneys believe they have a fighting chance,” Hamilton says.
The lawsuit was filed under a 1994 law that makes it illegal to defame a food product. Hamilton says proving the law was violated poses a challenge. “Whether any of the information was false and also the question of what the defamation was, so there are a number of important issue,” Hamilton explains, “and many of these statutes have ever been interpreted in court.” The lawyer for B-P-I says A-B-C News ran stories over a 30-day period that caused them to eventually have to close three of the plants that make the product, even though it was approved by the F-D-A as safe. Hamilton says proving the stories did the damage is the key. “Many of the news stories had that other side, but of course it came later in the stories and so I think there argument would be that the weight of what the stories were was to build that this was somehow and unsafe product,” Hamilton says.
B-P-I is seeking one-point-two BILLION dollars in the lawsuit. Hamilton says 13 states have this type of food product disparagement law, but there is very little history of the laws being used successfully in the courts to recover damages.

Iowans who appreciate historic barns can tour dozens of the big agricultural buildings during a special weekend-long barn tour later this month. About a hundred barns are being featured statewide.
Dobbin Barn, near State Center
Jacqueline Andre Schmeal, co-founder and president of the Iowa Barn Foundation, says each structure has a story and like the farmers who built them, they’re all different. Some of Iowa’s oldest, well-preserved barns are in the Dubuque area and date back to the 1830s. “The building was influenced by the ethnics where people came from, Germany, Luxembourg or wherever, or from Wisconsin or from Pennsylvania,” Schmeal says. “In western Iowa, you tend to have more western cattle barns and they’re more alike. It would depend, too, on the crops they had to store or the animals they had to feed.”
Some of the Barns on the tour in our area include: The Anstey barn, near Massena; The Heflin and Wooster barns in Shelby County; The Hindraker and Caltrider barns in Guthrie County; The Finken barn in Harrison County, and the Renze barn, along with the Ed Sextro Crib, both in Carroll County.

Whether they’re painted the traditional red-and-white or are made of wood, stone or brick, Schmeal says barns can be beautiful and fascinating. She says one round barn in central Iowa that’s on the tour has an unusual story. “It was created by Van Pine Manufacturing in Davenport and all of the pieces were sent by railroad to State Center and then were hauled to the farm,” Schmeal says. “It’s a huge, magnificent, round barn. You just go in there and you look at all those pieces and wonder how that happened.”
Most of the 100-some barns on this year’s tour have gotten preservation grants from the foundation. Schmeal says the organization has handed out more than two-point-six million dollars since its founding in 1997. Some Iowans have an undying devotion to saving and restoring barns and Schmeal says it’s well-deserved. “It’s our heritage and it’s our history,” Schmeal says. “I cannot look at a barn without thinking of the farmer and the barn builder who worked all day and then he still had to put this barn together. Often, the family lived in the barn until the house was finished because they had to have the barn because that was their livelihood.”
The self-guided tours will run from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM on September 22nd and 23rd. Learn more at the website: www.iowabarnfoundation.org.
