Receives Kent Achievement Award
Gayle Morgan and Larry Bickford
from Davy's & Jim's Feed Store, Inc.
'. in Moville, received recognition for
outstanding sales of Kent products
Davy's & Jim's Feed Store, Inc., the
Kent Feeds dealer for the Moville, IA,
area was recently recognized at a com-
pany-sponsored dealer appreciation and
awards banquet in S. Sioux City, NE.
The purpose of the banquet was to
recognize dealers for achievements
during the past year. Davy's & Jim's
Feed Store, Inc. received recognition
for outstanding sales of Kent products
and service to their customers. The
awards were presented by Kent Vice
President of Sales and Marketing, Rich
Dwyer.
The theme of the banquet was "Better
Together". The evening focused on the
ways Kent Feeds and Kent dealers can
work better together to serve livestock
producers. The evening also showcased
ways Kent Feeds is changing to help
the dealers and the livestock producer
meet the needs of the marketplace to-
day and in the future.
Nineteen banquets were held
throughout the Kent Feeds' market
area, with total attendance reaching
approximately 3,000 dealer people.
Kent Feeds, Inc., with headquarters in
Muscatine, Iowa, has been sponsoring
these banquets for 47 consecutive
years.
Consumer Advisory
"Payday Loans" -
Dollars Down the Drain?
"Cash 'til Payday!" "Instant cash!" If
you're running short of money, such
ads invite you into one of the "payday
loan" or check-loan businesses that
have exploded in Iowa. They'll give
you cash to tide you over until your
next payday. (Hence the name "payday
loans.") Convenient? Sure. But - are
you willing to pay for that convenience
at an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of
300 to 400 percent?
More and more, people who are
stretched financially turn to payday
lenders. But when money's tight, pay-
ing triple-digit interest rates for
short-term loans just siphons more
money out of budgets that already may
be running on empty.
Here's how payday loans work: If you
want $100 in cash, you write them a
check for $116.67. (The difference is
their fee.) They give you $100 immedi-
ately. They hold the check until the
date you agree they can deposit it, or
you come back and give them $116.67
in cash or money order to get the check
back from them. Usually, that's two
weeks, although it could be up to one
month. That two-week, $100 loan
works out to an APR of over 434%
Getting a $200 loan for two weeks will
likely cost you a $27.78 fee - a 362%
APR.
Just for comparison, compare those
credit costs to the 24% APR that is
considered very high for credit cards. A
$100 loan for two weeks at a 24% APR
would cost '92 cents, a whole lot
cheaper than $16.67. A $200 loan for
two weeks at 24% would cost $1.84,
nowhere close to $27.78. Payday loans
pull a lot of dollars down the drain -
especially if you obtain payday loans
often.
What can you do? If possible, stop
and think about "paying yourself" the
fee instead of going to a payday lender.
That will help you build a savings re-
serve for emergencies. If you need
emergency cash for important bills,
search for alternatives. For example, if
it's a utility bill that's pressing, check
first with the utility company about
emergency assistance programs. If
you're having trouble paying bills, re-
member that trying to pay them with
triple-digit APR loans is likely to
sweep you even further downward in a
spiral g debt.

ment over the last 60 years has made it

Competes For Scholarship
At Northwestern College
Scott Bock of Moville was among 74
finalists, representing 13 states, to
compete on the Northwestern College
campus for a Norman Vincent Peale
Scholarship recently. Approximately 10
Peale Scholarship winners will be an-
nounced by the end of March.
The students were on campus in late
February for interviews and a writing
competition. Northwestern College
faculty, staff and students evaluated
them on the basis of their potential for
academic success, leadership and ef-
fective Christian service.
Criteria for the Peale Scholar candi-
dates included a ranking within the top
15 percent of their high school class or
a minimum 3.5 grade point average,
and a minimum ACT score of 25 or
SAT score of 1,130. One-hundred fifty
students meeting those qualifications
wrote an initial Peale Scholarship ap-
plication, and Bock was among the 74
finalists from that group who competed
on campus.
The Peale Scholarships were estab-
lished by Mr. and Mrs. Homer Surbeck
of Atherton, Calif., who were close
friends of Dr. and Mrs. Peale. Dr.
Pole, who died in 1993 at the age of
95, was pastor of Marble Collegiate
Church in New York City from
1932-84 and author of 46 books, in-
cluding "The Power of Positive Think-
ing." He has been called the most influ-
ential Protestant clergyman in the U.S.
Located in Orange City, Iowa,
Northwestern College is a Christian
liberal arts college of nearly 1,200 stu-
dents, affiliated with the Reformed
Church in America.
Northwestern Students
Serve Over Spring Break
Monica Schapp of Moville, a senior
majoring in Christian Education, is one
of almost 190 Northwestern College
students spending spring break in
service. A dozen spring service groups
from the college are traveling to minis-
try sites throughout the world February
27-March 9. She will be serving in
Mississippi.
A new spring service project this year
is in Amsterdam, the Netherlands,
where students will volunteer at two
Christian youth hostels. They will live
with the travelers and have the oppor-
tunity to share their faith and lead Bible
studies. They also will serve meals and
help with maintenance and other daily
operations of the hostel.
Another international service site is at
an orphanage in Reynosa, Mexico.
There students will tutor the children in
English as a second language, play
games with them and lead a Bible
school in the evenings. ,
Within the U.S., students will travel
to multi-racial urban centers like Coney
Island, New Orleans and Chicago to
conduct street evangelism, distribute
Christian tracts and serve in soup kitch-
ens and homeless shelters.
Students also will engage in hunger,
homeless and prison ministries in Fort
Washington and New Albany, Pa.; St.
Petersburg, Fla.; and Lindale, Texas,
Students looking for a spring break of
physical labor will perform construc-
tion and maintenance with Habitat for
Humanity in Miami, Fla. - at the Voice
of Calvary Ministries in Jackson, Miss.
- and at the Cook College and Theo-
logical School in Tempe, Ariz. Stu-
dents traveling to Tempe also will visit
several Native American reservations
in that area.
Student Ministries Director Barb De-
wald says, "Spring service projects are
a chance for students to travel over
spring break but also to serve and offer
something to communities less privi-
leged than the one they attend college
in. It's also a valuable and affordable
cross.cultural experience for our stu-
dents."
Trips this year range in cost
per-person from $160 to minister with
Jesus People, USA in Chicago to $700
to participate in the youth hostel minis-
try in Amsterdam. The students raise
the money themselves, and despite the
cost, the spring break service projects
remain popular.
Students agree that sacrificing a
spring break of skiing or surfing is well
worth the opportunity to serve. They
say it is a chance to put the serv-
ice-learning emphasis of their North-
western education into practice.
Northwestern College is a private lib-
eral arts college of 1,190 students, af-
filiated with the Reformed Church in
America.

WC Wrestlers Finish Strong At State
The Wildcat wrestling squad finished
the season as being one of the top eight
wrestling teams in the state of Iowa out
of 136 class 1A schools. The Cats trav-
eled to Cedar Rapids with the sole in-
tention of defeating top ranked Lake
Mills. The competition was tough as
the Cats fell to the Bulldogs 45-15. The
Sheriff's News
MARK LIVESTOCK QUICKLY
The Woodbury County Sheriffs Of-
fice would like to remind our farming
community of the importance of
marking newborn livestock as quickly
as possible. At this time of year, when
there are many new calves in the area,
the theft of those animals is most likely
to occur soon after birth, and before
they can be marked in any manner.
For further information, please call
the Crime Prevention Division, at
279-6010 or 1-800-352-6352.
MARK FARM CHEMICALS
We are now approaching the farm
chemical theft season and the Wood-
bury County Sheriffs Department
would like to offer some advice to both
farmers and businessmen about these
chemical thefts.
The chemical thefts usually occur
during the early morning hours and, if
possible, during stormy weather condi-
tions, so that the tracks of the thieves
will be covered. This is an especially
important time of the year for chemical
dealers to take precautions and watch
for thefts because of their advanced
stocking of large amounts of farm
chemicals.
The thieves will take farm chemicals
from farms, grain elevators and co-ops,
whenever they have the opportunity.
Dealers should take the time to remove
the containers from the boxes and mark
each individual container with their
Operation Identification Number,
which can be obtained from the Wood-
bury County Sheriffs Office. Without
any identifying numbers, recovery of
the stolen chemicals will be difficult
because they are not easily identifiably
once the containers are removed from
the boxes.
For Operation Identification Numbers
to mark the chemicals, contact Deputy
Jim Cunningham, Woodbury County
Sheriffs Office, Crime Prevention Divi-
sion, at 279-6010 or 1-800-352-6352.
Cats earned their points with a decision
win by Scott Linden and a pin each by
Adam Lloyd and Tom Smith.
'1 am very pleased with the entire
season," commented Coach Fisher.
'q'he wrestlers set team goals at the be-
ginning of the season and they accom-
plished almost all of them. What a great
season !"
Lane Tabke Completes
Mycogen Seeds Training
"You receive your best service from
sales people who do two things right/'
says Lane Tabke, Movitle. "They know
their customers and they know their
products. That's the best way to get
farmers the right seed products for top
performance."
Tabke, a Mycogen Seeds seller, re-
cently completed a sales leadersl~ip
training session in Des Moines. spon-
sored by Mycogen Seeds. The intense
two-day workshop, part of a training
service called Mycogen University,
included briefings by company ~repre-
sentatives about technology, seed sup-
plies and the systematic tools available
to help Mycogen sellers to effectively
channel seed products to their custom-
ers. Many sellers have also attended
intense agronomy courses at the com-
pany's Research Stations at Schaller,
Iowa and Huxley, Iowa, and at'exten-
sive test plots and research fields near
Waterloo, Iowa.
"These conferences continue educa-
tion that enables our sellers to provide
customers the service they need to re-
main successM in today's agricultural
environment," says Darwyn Mueller,
regional sales manager for Mycogen
Seeds. "They also serve as valuable
input sessions where we listen to ideas
and feedback from sellers."
"Selling seed today should include
knowing and understanding each cus-
tomer's specific needs and how prod-
ucts will perform to meet those needs,
Mueller points out. "For people who
want to sell seed, Mycogen Seeds of-
fers product performance second to
none, plus marketing programs and
training to give them every opportunity
to serve their customer, the modern
farmer."
