Every year, members of the Public Relations Committee selects individuals or organizations who selflessly give of their time to improve our community and the Main Street district. In , each of the Four Point Committees pivoted and adjusted at every turn, Mullen said.
The Design pillar of the Main Street Approach is influential in working with local government to create options for ordinance and policy changes to enhance the Main Street District. City Council granted approval for an exception to the sidewalk ordinance allowing Primrose Restaurant to have outdoor seating for their patrons. Under the Economic Vitality pillar, Main Street was able to create pamphlets for eateries, which showed options of curbside and delivery. These pamphlets have expanded to retail businesses, self-care, and eateries and pubs.
They are available at the Corning Hotel, Lauvstad Center lobby, and Lake Icaria for both locals and visitors, creating a broad reach and awareness of local businesses that serve the community. Community outreach is part of the Organizational pillar, which is just what happened when Reagan Brown led the Aspiring Entrepreneurs of Adams County Camp.
Partnering with local businesses to share their business knowledge and providing tools and resources allowed the young students to create their own business model and present it to a panel of judges.

So the Turner family suggested the piano be donated to the church Paulsen said and, after working out the details, the church board accepted the gift. Paulsen said having the piano back in the community has great historical meaning.
She said church records show that Gov. Turner was a member of church from until his death at age 92 in Although the Gov. The final baptism and confirmation come after more than years of the church serving the community. Now with just six members, all of whom are in the 70s or 80s, the sale of Brooks UMC and Brooks community hall will bring the church to an end. Brooks UMC got its start in when a bishop from Indianola started a seminary in Brooks when a few local Methodists began meeting their for services.
The seminary later became Simpson College, which later move to Indianola. At the time Brooks had four churches in a population of about residents. In Brooks UMC bought lots and became the site of the church. A fire in destroyed the original church, Peckham said. Corning Fire Department was called but firefighters were unable to save the church. The church was rebuilt in using materials from a church that closed in in the Dog Hollow community on old Highway Peckham said the congregation was proud of the new church for having so few members.
The church would hold a potluck once a month and Peckham said he used to ride his pony to the church to carry water to threshing crews in the fields. The church would hold dinner fundraisers and for a time the men would hold pancake suppers. Brooks celebrated its anniversary in and installed new carpet and windows for the event. The bell will become part of a monument for the church after it is taken down.

The COVID dashboard provides insight into the number of new cases, statistics on positive cases by sex and age groups, and daily state case counts from March 2, , to date.
The county has also administered of its vaccine series initiated. At that time, understanding the characteristics of the people being impacted by this new virus was very important.
The information told the department how many new cases were in the state, what their characteristics were, and helped target mitigation efforts accordingly. In early October, Drake said Public Health made the decision to begin publicly reporting results for both tests by individuals and total tests, so Iowans could compare both reporting methods, knowing that at some point, it may become necessary to make a change to better reflect recent activity and to make comparisons with other states that use this approach a little easier.
At that time, approximately , Iowans had been tested, and 1. This also will have an effect on the percentage positivity since it will now be calculated using total tests, and will cause our reported percentage positive to show a slight decrease. People have been able to shoot trap since that time. Through the years the popularity of trap shooting has varied said David Fuller. The Gun Club added sporting clays in the early s. The Gun Club has started a capital campaign to replace one of the trap machines that is 25 years old.
Each year the machines throw 25, targets. Fuller said experienced and new shooters have been able to enjoy this sport, but last year one trap was not working well. This caused delays and less than pleasant experiences.
Trap shooters come from Adams County and a mile radius, thus bringing visitors to area. Each year is a team trap shoot, using two trap machines. The capital campaign will be used to secure matching funds for grant applications to replace the oldest trap machine. Corning Gun Club is a 3 c and donations are deductible. We will continue to receive boost doses separately to ensure everyone that received their initial dose will get a second dose.

More information will be forthcoming for these employers. To be included on the list, call the Public Health office at or Public Health will use the list to schedule an appointment for vaccination at one of its weekly clinics. Drake said Public Health is using a tier approach to scheduling vaccination appointments for those 65 and older. Since age is the highest indicator of severe illness and mortality followed by pre-existing conditions to COVID, Public Health schedules those who were the oldest with severe health conditions first.
I continue to thank you for your grace and patience as we work countless hours to prevent and protect. Preserving habitats is essential to preserving biodiversity. Like all animals, fish need a healthy living space or habitat, to survive, grow, and reproduce. The quality and quantity of fish habitat in a water body directly affects fish populations and the quality of fishing for anglers.
The SWIFT goal is to produce different types of artificial fish habitat structures to address the needs of aquatic life in the lakes. Twenty student anglers almost reached the halfway point of their goal by producing 90 fish structures. The team went through 5, feet of plastic tubing — or almost a mile — which was used to mimic branches of a tree.
All the materials used to build are recyclable, which keeps the waste out of the landfill and are not harmful to the fish but provide excellent substrate, nesting, spawning habitat, feeding locations, shelter for young fish and attract fish to make for better fishing.
Bryan Hayes from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources also attended the event and spoke to the students about the importance of conservation and the impact of building good fish habitat structures will have on the lake's aquatic life and for their community. He applauded the students on their commitment to conservation and was impressed with the types of fish habitat structures they were producing. Every structure will help grow the sport of fishing and provide biodiversity in the lakes and ponds in the area.
He also informed the students about the duties of the DNR and offered to the students if they wanted to know more about the DNR to consider job shadowing them for a day. The Southwest Iowa Fishing Team was formed to provide a safe and competitive activity for the students. The current member team consists of boys and girls from Southwest Iowa surrounding communities who will compete in amateur youth fishing tournaments throughout the year-long season, with the opportunity to win Iowa State and National Championships with the Student Angler Federation and the Bass Federation.
The primary initiative is to instill the ideals of good sportsmanship, education, conservation, and fish care through instruction, seminars, and training during all outdoor youth activities. Sixty percent of the students who participate on fishing teams are not involved with traditional high school sports.
This extends more opportunity for students to be involved in school-like activity, and the potential to earn scholarships to advance their education. Boswell finds inspiration in people, particularly children. Boswell found another mentor in former Corning English teacher Pete Nett who had his students write in their journals every day. Boswell said that practice has stuck with her and is central to her writing life. In college she fell in love with painting and had the fortune to study in Italy and traveled to West Africa.
Boswell mainly works on public art and picture books now. Both of these works can be seen on her website, www. While Boswell credits growing up in Corning as the foundation for her life today as a successful author and artist, she now gets inspiration and help from one young critic — her seven-year-old daughter Imogen.
Boswell said also set up a free front yard library where people can exchange books. Boswell said there are two things anyone hoping for a career in art needs — mentors and time. And while she has had many mentors, her roots lie in Adams County.

This jewel of a building now sits empty. Soon, there will be activity bustling from inside the walls of this magnificent building. A local company, Balance4ward headquartered out of Nodaway, will be the next owner. With so much potential, the next chapter of this building is on the horizon.
However, vaccines are limited and these early doses are for people in the highest risk category, phase 1A, specifically healthcare workers and long term care residents and staff. Phases or risk groups are defined by the federal and state Infectious Disease Advisory Council, Drake said.
