5 clinician-backed techniques for managing stress and panic attacks

5 clinician-backed techniques for managing stress and panic attacksSometimes anxiety, depression, sleep problems, panic, and stress overtake people and cause them to struggle. Learning to cope is critical before these negative feelings become disruptive. Uncontrolled and unmanaged stress and anxiety also can contribute to health problems and upend the ability to consistently work, live life, and sustain meaningful relationships. But making it a priority to learn to cope safely can help.Northwell Health shares five ways to manage stress and the onset of panic attacks.Break the Loop. It’s highly unpleasant and difficult to experience stress, anxiety, or panic when they’re coupled with overthinking and ruminating. This can cause stressed people to come to extreme conclusions, all of which cause a strain—and a tough cycle to break. The first step? Understanding how to break the loop. Sometimes it’s helpful to have an external cue, such as a bracelet or a sticky note as reminders to use the next four options to break the loop.Release the Energy. Behavioral health practitioners sometimes think of stress, anxiety, or panic as a form of energy that needs to be redirected. There are many science-backed ways to intentionally channel this energy. Different options work for different people. Some choose exercise. Walking, running, lifting weights, or playing a favorite sport can help create a pause, expend that energy, and develop clarity. Self-expression is helpful, too. That can include emoting, writing things down, or even yelling into a pillow. Some people find comfort in energetically cleaning, or cleaning out, their homes, and others choose what seem like extreme expressions of this stress by breaking or smashing things, but choose a safe venue to do so, like a “break room” for that catharsis.Try mindfulness. In addition to eliminating or minimizing stress, anxiety, or panic energy, it can be useful and powerful to consciously direct attention onto something: This is called mindfulness, the ability to be completely present and aware of the current moment, thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, but without judging them. It’s a way of taking in a moment thoughtfully, but not reactively. Some types of mindfulness demand attention right away, like a fidget spinner or watching a captivating sporting event, but others require us to build attention, like becoming intensely interested in music, nature, a book, or art, and consciously noting and monitoring our feelings about them.Change the Scene. Sometimes the most effective thing to do under stress is to “wash" the brain. One way to do this is simply by changing the scenery. Perhaps this means getting out of the house, taking a break from work, stepping outside for a few minutes, or going for a brief drive. This and the other exercises force the brain to tend to new stimuli and break the loop. This is different from distraction because intentionally altering the scene cognitively makes a bigger impact on the brain than turning to a smaller project for distraction.Create a Reward. As people learn to cope, it’s also helpful to pay attention to what helps them do so and what positive changes they may be making to break the stress loop. When people successfully get through a bout of anxiety or panic without choosing something harmful, such as turning to chemicals or medications, it’s important to build in a reward. While this step may not reduce stress or panic in the moment, a minor indulgence after successfully remaining calm may serve as positive reinforcement and deter future panic attacks. This helps build mastery. Getting through a stressful ordeal without having a panic attack is a powerful key to self-confidence and helps manage future anxiety.Xavier Jimenez, MD, is the director of consultation psychiatry, addiction medicine, and chronic pain at Northwell Health’s Long Island Jewish Medical Center.This story was produced by Northwell Health and reviewed and distributed by Stacker.

Eldridge fire, city council sit down

Members of the Eldridge Volunteer Fire Company and the Eldridge City Council sat down face to face for the first time in months Monday night at the Eldridge Community Center. But it’s too soon to tell whether anything will come of that discussion, as the EVFC said its membership’s trust in the city has seriously frayed. Monday’s committee of the whole saw EVFC members Dave Engler, Andrew Doyle, Bryan Yanke, Tim Martinek and Pat Gainer represent the membership. At various points, each of them has met separately with a small committee that included Mayor Scott Campbell, council member Ryan Iossi, city administrator Nevada Lemke and assistant city administrator Jeff Martens to discuss the future of the department. Those talks have been ongoing since May of 2025, following a meeting where the department addressed burnout among volunteers. However, as the talks dragged on over months with no sign of progress, the EVFC members at the meeting said the larger membership began to lose trust, not only in the process, but in the city. Monday represented the first time since the May 2025 meeting that the EVFC and the larger council have met together. Although no binding decisions were made, council members agreed they want to keep moving forward towards a solution that benefits all residents. What that solution looks like is still nearly impossible to say. From the outset of the meeting, Campbell acknowledged that the initial months of discussion “got bogged down, maybe a little bit on both ends.” But he said that from December and January, from his perspective, there had been “great progress. “I appreciate the work that you guys put into this. As was stated last week, there is not one individual here at this table that has anything but the highest respect and appreciation for what the fire department does for our community. Several of us have been in your shoes. And with that said, it’s really imperative tonight for us to find a way to be on the same team, as we both serve and protect our community in the best way possible. That’s really what we need to accomplish tonight, or at least start accomplishing.” The conversation began with discussion about the substantial financial increase requested by the department in its June 12 letter to the city. In that communication, the department informed the city that its membership had voted to remain independent of the city and increased its financial request from the city to $766,516 for FY27. Previously, the department had asked for $476,670. Doyle said the increase came on the capital side of the budget, whereas the previous ask had been operational. He said the capital improvements include finishing the second floor of the fire station and planning for at least one new vehicle for the department, as well as funds for volunteer stipends and equipment like new turnout gear, including for anticipated new volunteers. He said the capital portion of the budget was “not out of nowhere. It was being discussed. But we need to differentiate between operating budget and capital expense budget. What you were delivered on June 12 was both together. When we couldn’t get close enough on the operational expenses, this is what the full picture is going to look like.” Doyle also referenced the fact that the department had presented a three-year budget to the city. Campbell said that during the discussions, the department had already been told the city could not commit to a three-year budget. Doyle asked what the difference was between what the department was asking for and a multi-year contract from the city for other services. He offered Republic Services, which handles garbage and recycling for the city, as an example. Lemke said one of the main differences is that, while Republic’s contract provides a service, there is also a charge passed on to residents, creating a revenue stream. Council member Jeff Ashcraft asked if it was correct that the city also doesn’t take capital expenses of any vendor contract into consideration. Lemke confirmed. She said the city could create a plan for the fire department similar to the city’s capital improvement plan – which covers projects planned over several years – but “each year that budget gets reevaluated and approved for only the fiscal year that’s active. The rest of the plan remains in a plan form until the next fiscal year comes up,” at which time the budgetary approval process for the year takes place again. Ashcraft asked the department members how they would determine whether the goals they set out in their budget were successful. “Could it be measured on burnout, reduction of turnover, recruitment, retention, operational stability? Did you strategically pull some things together where you’ve got actual, measurable results you could share?” Yanke said finishing the upstairs of the fire station is among the ways the department hopes to help recruitment. He said the department has heard from people who live outside the Eldridge city limits who are interested in volunteering. However, the department has had to turn them away because they live too far away to make the trucks in time to run a call. Yanke said having a living quarters on site would allow these people a place to stay, and even sleep if necessary, during a shift. “That’s going to allow us to draw in folks from cities like Davenport, Bettendorf, other cities where they may not have volunteer organizations, and they can still volunteer. They can provide a service to us, and they have a place to stay where they’re going to make the truck, and we don’t have delayed response time.” Yanke said another factor was equipment replacement. He said the department’s current rescue truck is approaching its end-of-life stage. As shared at the department’s July 1 open house, a new rescue truck can cost between $800,000-$1.4 million. “Our goal with that is we can start building some cash reserves to enable us to replace those apparatus as they age out of service and need to be replaced.” He said a third measurable goal was to be able to hire a full-time person to handle the administrative side of the department. Yanke said a full-time, paid employee accounted for a significant portion of the budgetary increase due to the pay and benefits package necessary. Doyle said that the department can measure success in terms of how many people respond to a call. He said that this year, the department is down three-quarters of a person per response. He said, in speaking with LeClaire’s fire chief, Shane Bleeker, the department learned that when LeClaire built its fire station out, volunteers increased from 17 to 32. “That’s kind of what we’re hoping for, to be honest,” Doyle said. He said, as a member of the department’s recruitment committee, he knows they have had to turn away people who are already certified and fully qualified to serve as volunteers. He expressed concern that, with call volume increasing, the department is trending towards a situation where it may not be able to respond to all calls. Ashcraft also asked for an explainer on the pay-by-call stipend paid to volunteers. Yanke said volunteers are paid $20 per call, which helps offset costs such as vehicle maintenance and clothing. Engler explained that there are minimum requirements for receiving the stipend. Members have to attend at least 50% of business meetings throughout the year, 50% of monthly truck checks, and a minimum of 10% of calls. The stipend is paid on an annual basis. How to help volunteers? Council member Brian Dockery said that, while all of the discussion about the budget was fine, it didn’t address what he saw as the heart of the problem: concern about burnout with the volunteers. He said he fully supported capital improvements at the fire station, and that the city had built in $120,000 for the department to make improvements in the FY27 budget, and $40,000 in the FY26 budget. Dockery said he supported a hybrid department, with the EVFC managing the membership. He also addressed the financial question. “As a city, everyone asks, ‘How are we going to pay for it?’ We don’t have an option but to figure out a way to pay for it. We put almost $400,000 in capital improvements in the parks in the budget. To me, you gentlemen are much more important than building a shelter at a park.” This comment drew applause from the audience. “We, as a city, have an obligation for police, fire, water and sewer and streets. Everything else is extra,” Dockery continued. “We’ve got to figure out a way to make this work, as quick as we can make it work, to give you guys some relief. I can understand your frustrations. This evening, we’ve got to step up and figure out a way. You’re here to serve the public. Hopefully, if something like a hybrid happens, we don’t lose a lot of volunteers. Because you guys are here because you want to serve the people … If there’s a will, there’s a way we can figure this out. But we can’t wait anymore.” Dockery said if the city were to put money into the fire department, “I don’t think anybody in this community would think twice about the city doing that.” He asked if the department could get bids for how much it would cost to build out the upstairs of the fire department, saying the city had $160,000 to commit and could pull additional funds out of sales option tax. The trust factor Campbell said one of the first things that had been discussed last May was the hiring of a chief and the city absorbing the department. He asked what had changed between then and early June, when the department voted to remain independent. Doyle said, in the department’s June 12 letter to the city, they said they were looking for a response from the city by July 15, “but ultimately, the big day that we were interested in was that Oct. 1 date, because we can’t kick the can down the road for another 12 months. If you guys want us to remain an independent company, if we feel that that’s fiscally what’s best, then this is what it’s going to cost … The alternative is, if you want to take over the department, that’s your right. You’re more than welcome to it. But it needs to be done, and it needs to be done quickly.” He said department members generally felt that they should be a lot further along in the process by now, and as negotiations stalled last fall, “it started to feel at a certain point that maybe this isn’t an avenue that the city wants to travel down. “Our situation hasn’t changed, and in fact, it’s devolved further because of all the back and forth with the city. It was certainly a bit demoralizing. And I think, I mean, if I can just be candid, I think that was the big change.”  Campbell argued that he thought from January and February, there had been great forward progress, but Doyle said that department members still felt that the city was being non-committal. Engler said the process had drug on too long. “We spent too much time getting nowhere. The trends are going down; we’re getting more burned out. And we just weren’t seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And so, we finally, as a department, when we took that vote, it was like, this is what it’s going to take for us to run it independent. These are the numbers. If that’s not acceptable, take it over by Oct. 1 and then we’re done, right? “This in-between is tearing us apart, internally in the department and me personally. It’s just, we’ve got to make a decision. And I honestly don’t care which way it goes, just get a decision, get it done and let’s move forward.” Engler said the department has been asking the city for help for five years now. “We’ve got to do something before it’s too late. We are really close to it’s too late.” Campbell insisted he thought they had been close to an agreement. Engler said it came back to an erosion of trust as the process drug on. “Throughout this past year, there’s been a lot of things put in the paper that were very derogatory, but we just ignored that. We just ate it because it wasn’t worth the effort. And I think it finally just hit a breaking point, where, we’ve got to do this one way or another, and this is kind of where we’re at.” “I know that you feel like a lot of progress was being made, but they didn’t, and our membership didn’t,” said Doyle. “And you keep trying to paint this picture that because there was a different negotiating team that came in, and that’s just not the truth. These decisions are made as a department, and they were made unanimously.” What is the path forward? Ashcraft asked the EVFC members, hypothetically, if the city was building a fire department and EMS service from scratch, what that might look like. He suggested a hybrid approach, with volunteers and a full-time, paid component to handle the administrative tasks. Martinek agreed, saying there needed to be an administrative component during the day to handle the challenges facing the department as call volume grows. Ashcraft asked if that involved the city having administrative responsibility while the volunteer corps remained intact. Martinek said he thought originally, when talks began, the discussion involved having a city employee handle all of the administrative tasks, but the city attorney didn’t think that was a viable option. “And then that’s what ultimately led to the main discussion of, let’s transition then to a city department … At the time, that was the ideal approach, they leave the volunteer company completely intact, operating essentially as we are today, less that administrative burden, which would be handled through a city employee.” Ashcraft asked Doyle if the volunteers would be willing to be a part of the process if the city were to take over the department. Doyle said they had taken an anonymous straw poll of the membership, which indicated only about half the volunteers would stay if it were a city department. Dockery said he thought the first thing the city could do to get the process moving again was to commit to funding the upper level of the fire station, “to see how quick that can get done and how quick we can add more volunteers to the fire department.” Yanke said that, as the volunteer base grew, so too would the need for additional administration. “If we get an influx of 10 new volunteers, a 50% increase in membership, somebody’s still got to manage all that.” He said that would be the advantage to hiring a full-time paid chief. “I appreciate the idea of finishing the upstairs. I agree with you. I think that is the key first step, and that’s the first place we need to spend capital money. We need assistance with scheduling that and making sure that station is staffed. We also need to train those new volunteers. We need to get gear for those new volunteers. We need to do the administration of the worker’s comp. All those sort of things for those volunteers. That comes with a pretty heavy lift for somebody, and to just expect volunteers to continue with that, I think is pretty heavy.” “I think we’re past that point and we would need some full-time resource, whether it is a chief or an administrator,” added Martinek. “That could be certainly discussed, but it is at the point where there needs to be someone full-time, not only to Bryan’s point of staffing for calls, but handling all those other tasks.” “I think you make a great point,” said Campbell. “And so, would it make sense for you to become like a hybrid, become a city entity, where things are funneled through us and we hire the chief and we hire whatever we need to do? And we still have the volunteers and we still pay per call. Would that be a solution then?” Gainer said his concern remained that 50% of volunteers said they would step down from the department if it became a city entity. “We have two of us on this panel right here that have run over 50% of the calls, and Dave and I are both 62 years old,” he said, gesturing to Engler. “And we have acknowledged that, and we appreciate that,” said Campbell. “Well, acknowledging and appreciating … you ask where the tone changed. A lot of it came from what was going on in the media. When comments were made, that it’s all about the money. They used to say it was burnout and then it was all about the money. That tone in the media affects us all. It affects our families; it affects the friends that we have here in the community. And I’ve been doing this for over 19 years. That’s not why I do this. “And so, for the city to take over the department, my concern is that we would lose half the staff.”  Gainer said that if they had to replace half the volunteers, that would also mean replacing 10 sets of turnout gear, paying for training and “reinventing what already exists. “What we were hoping for is a chief that would be able to step in, take over the administrative roles and maintain what we already have. It’s been working great for 20 years now, and I’ve lived through four different chiefs. It’s been seamless, and the community has felt it was seamless. Because the majority of people I know, when I go on calls, whether I’m on the fire department or working with Medic on weekends, have no idea that this is a volunteer department. They think it’s a full-time, staffed department. And that, to me, is the goal we’ve always had, is we just serve the community quietly and move forward. We’re just asking for funding to get that done.” Martinek said that in May, all the membership had been committed to staying on during a transition, and that number was cut in half after the city’s June 15 council meeting. He said he wasn’t interested in relitigating every issue that had come up during the negotiations, including the fact that it had taken several months to determine whether the city was even responsible for providing fire protection. Ashcraft said he still had heard a lot of commonalities in the discussion and there seemed to be some agreement, at least in principle, for a hybrid system. “What everybody around this table needs to understand is that these guys are tired. Bottom line,” said Dockery. “We’ve got to find a resolution, a path, that may not be perfect to begin with. We may have to tweak it along the way.” Dockery said that so far, the council had done nothing to help the department with recruitment. He proposed at next Monday’s regular council meeting there be a discussion on committing to funding the upstairs of the fire department. Dockery continued by saying that the volunteer corps was absolutely key, and that in his idea of a hybrid system, the EVFC would “be the guys controlling and training the people that show up when the buzzer goes off. You guys are the experts … you have the training on that.” He said in the short term, he believed the EVFC could handle the staffing, while the city managed the capital improvements for both the building and equipment. He said the sale of the Eldridge Community Center could potentially pay for a new piece of fire equipment. “I appreciate … finishing the upstairs and getting more volunteers. We need somebody to guide those people, train those people, outfit those people, schedule those people,” said Yanke. He said that the department needed a paid staff member, whether it was a chief or an administrator. Campbell said he believed people who had been privy to the discussions were all on the same page with that. Members of the EVFC expressed concern that, if the chief were a paid employee of the city of Eldridge, that would be tantamount to the city taking over the department. “And to be quite blunt about it, the trust erosion that Tim described, that nine-month period, or a year, has gotten the department to a point where, to be blunt, we don’t trust you guys to run the fire department,” said Yanke, to applause from the crowd. Council member Scott LaPlante asked if there was a way the city could rebuild trust with the department. “The concern is that it would be too late, the members would be gone,” said Martinek. “That’s where the concern is, if the transition were to happen and half of those members, assuming that’s a number that would choose not to stick around, it’d be too late at that point. Because we can’t operate with six volunteers.” He said even if there was paid staff from the outset, it still wouldn’t be feasible, and burnout would only increase. Council member Adrian Blackwell asked what could be done to move forward and continue having honest conversation. Doyle said that was a conversation that would be needed with the larger group but, “maybe there’s some world where the actual physical capital assets are managed by the city, and the labor allocation is managed by the volunteer company. So that we maintain the autonomy of our chosen leadership, that infrastructure, while trust rebuilds and maybe that changes course down the road? It’s an idea. It’s a little bit atypical, but it’s an idea certainly. I think it’s a step forward, so that you guys have some physical oversight over the actual assets that you’re funding into, but I think there would have to be some sort of oversight or input from our side as well.” He said he thought as long as there was input and channels of communication remained open, that might be an option, but he wasn’t willing to speak for the whole group. Dockery continued to advocate for finishing the upstairs of the fire station, but Engler said even if they were able to start that project as soon as possible, it would still take months to finish and there would still need to be someone to oversee it. Dockery advocated for getting the process started, even if it was slow going at first. “We’re all going to have to sit in a room and figure out a way to do this. “It just tears me up to see the back and forth, back and forth. You know, what everybody does for the city, from your side, and from our side. Everybody has the best intentions. We just need to find the middle ground, then just keep going and adjusting from there, to hopefully get some confidence back in your members.” Dockery said it would take work to make this process happen, and it would require give and take from both sides. “I think it’s great to continue to be collaborative. I’ll say the clock is ticking,” said Yanke. “We were burned out a year ago, and now we’re saying, ‘Let’s keep discussing, let’s keep trying new ideas.’ We’re out of time. These five people up here are out of time and effort and all of the things that it’s still going to take to put this together. So, you ask what you can do to start rebuilding the trust. My advice would be to come to the table with a plan. “We’ve spent 500, 600 man hours, probably more, trying to put together a budget and a plan and a strategy and a way to get more volunteers, to hire people, to remove the administrative burden, and it’s been shut down. And we’d say, well, we’re $50,000 or $85,000 apart from that and we can’t fund the capital, and so all of the attempts so far have been squashed. “So, come to the table with a plan that’s realistic. And the answer can’t just be to say no to the plan that we’ve tried to put out there,” continued Yanke. “That’s my advice for trying to build trust back at this point.” Prior to adjournment, Dockery asked for an item to be put on next Monday’s city council agenda to discuss the fire department budget. Campbell said that will be discussed this week.

Long Grove council member questioned AI use — with AI

Long Grove Council Member Amy Shannon used AI to write a series of emails she sent to City Clerk Rose Guyer expressing concern about Guyer’s use of AI. Those emails included questions about human oversight of AI, AI access to city documents, and whether AI use was properly disclosed to the public. AI formulated every question and concern that Shannon addressed to Guyer and Mayor Mike Limberg in late April, according to Pangram, a leading AI-detection software. Pangram has a false positive rate of below 1 in 10,000, according to a 2025 University of Chicago study. And while AI detection software is fallible, nearly all of the emails reviewed demonstrate the quirks of AI-generated writing, like bolded, numbered sections and a cold and distant tone.  Shannon did not respond to email, phone call, and text message requests for comment over a two-week period. The North Scott Press reviewed correspondence between Shannon and Guyer through an open records request. The two officials exchanged emails over several days after an article in the April 15 NSP detailed how AI had transformed daily work at City Hall. The NSP reported that Guyer used AI to draft emails, review financial records and answer residents’ questions on the city website. AI-generated emails sent by Shannon ask Guyer to answer a range of questions: who had approved AI licenses, why the licenses had not been brought before the council, whether personal software development had occurred on city time. They asked Guyer to “clarify which human review processes were in place to verify the accuracy of AI-generated outputs”. The emails contain several strange phrases and repeated questions which indicate they were generated by AI. In an email April 20, Shannon introduces herself to Guyer and Limberg as “a member of Long Grove City Council.” The same email and follow-ups ask whether the council was alerted to Guyer’s AI use, despite the fact that  Shannon had been present at two council meetings—on March 31 and April 14—during which Guyer had brought up her use of AI.     The April 20 email also repeats the identical question at several points: under the bolded heading “Data Usage,” it asks “what safeguards, agreements or protections were in place governing [city] data.” Under the later heading “Ethical Considerations, Transparency, and Data Security,” it asks “whether any data security agreements or confidentiality protections were in place.” Shannon’s emails also contain factual mistakes. An April 23 email refers to an Iowa Department of Management policy that “prohibits submitting internal data to AI systems without written authorization”—which “represents the clear expectation for Iowa government entities.” Iowa Code specifies that Department of Management policies like the one referenced in the email do not apply to city or county government. In one exchange, Guyer noted that Shannon had sent “an ironically beautifully drafted email using AI.” Shannon protested that her use of AI did not impact “the substance of the inquiry.” “Also, just to clear the air—whether or not I used AI to help draft my email doesn’t change the importance of the questions themselves,” her response reads.  Guyer also used AI to draft her first responses to Shannon’s repeated questions. “I use it as a tool to review,” she told The North Scott Press. “I’ve already formulated my entire response in my own words, and I have AI review it for grammar, spelling and clarity. And then I ask questions about how things might be perceived, like tone, and if there are things I should consider adjusting. I ask it to help me maintain professionalism and clarity.” But she stopped using AI as Shannon continued to send questions. “Things were getting lost in translation. AI’s not always the best tool for communication,” Guyer said. A final, 2,800 word email addressed to Shannon was written entirely without AI, she said. Pangram confirmed that result. Guyer wrote that she hoped Long Grove City Council formulated an AI use policy that “extends to councilmembers who use a free or any personal open AI chat to analyze public information, research, or write emails to employees and residents that might include derogatory or possibly defamatory suggestions”. Shannon later thanked Guyer for her clarifications. “I want to thank Rose for getting me all the information that she got me last week,” Shannon said at an April 27 council meeting. “She did get a lot of information to me about this.” At that meeting, Shannon and other members of the council asked City Attorney Josh Cobie to prepare a privacy agreement that would govern how AI software providers used city data. Guyer left Long Grove to take an administrative position with the city of Fairfax in early May. On May 20, the council elected to discontinue all AI use.      

Walcott Day festivities this weekend

Activities begin Friday at 4 p.m. in Prairie View Park, with packet pickup for the 5K and Kids Fun Run, followed by the Walcott Historical Society Museum open house. The evening will also feature a pork chop sandwich dinner benefiting the Lions Scholarship Fund, and an ice cream social. The Kids Fun Run and a fireworks display will cap the night's festivities. Saturday's activities move to Victory Park and begin with a 7 a.m. breakfast hosted by Calvary Church, followed by the annual car show. The annual 5K will begin in town, following West James Street to North Bridge Street, then continuing along West Parkview Drive and Michelle Lane before entering Prairie View Park. Runners will turn right on Main Street until it diverts onto Bryant and Parker Streets. The course then loops through the south side of town via Flagg and Main Streets, Memorial Road, South Grover Street and Bryant Street before returning to its start location by way of Main, Lincoln, North Century and James Streets. Parade registration opens at 8:30 a.m., and the parade steps off at 10:30 a.m. The parade route will start at the school on East James Street, continuing on to Main and East Lincoln Streets.    The afternoon schedule includes bounce houses and games, a flag raising ceremony, bags tournament, outhouse races and peach pie auction. A video gaming bus will be present, and the Walcott Historical society will have a second open house. A kids’ pedal tractor pull will start at 2 p.m. with registration starting at 1 p.m. Assorted youth games for grades four through 12 will start at 3 p.m. in Wescott park. Entertainment for the evening will be provided by musician Buddy Olson and later, Double H Entertainment. The celebration will conclude Saturday evening with a community meal, the crowning of the Walcott Day Princess and Queen at 6 p.m., and a dance to music from Double H’s live deejay. To accommodate the event, East James, North Henry East Otis and North Downey streets will have sections closed near Victory Park.  

Explaining Iowa’s new highway speed law

On July 1, new state law raised the default speed limits on two-lane state highways and rural paved roads from 55 to 60 miles per hour. But it isn’t just a number on a sign that is changing. Senate File 378, “an act relating to speed limits and speeding violations,” was signed into law on June 1 by Governor Kim Reynolds. The law does not apply to interstate highways, gravel roads or areas with otherwise posted speed limits. The bill leaves it to the discretion of the county to determine whether roads can safely accommodate the new “default.” “Our job is to mitigate [accidents],” Scott County Engineer for Secondary Roads Angela Kersten said. “We need to take inventory of our 55-mile-per-hour-signs and begin investigating what roads meet criteria for speed upgrades,” Kersten said. “We need to evaluate more than the speed limit signs.” Roads are designed to safely accommodate speeds five to 10 miles per hour higher than their posted limits. Kersten said that part of the county’s evaluation is determining whether existing roads have those safety margins defined by the Iowa Department of Transportation and Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. “We need to look at approaches and road markings. We need to look at the curvature profile of a road, both horizontal and vertical. We have to take into account existing bridges, guard rails, other posted signs and more,” Kersten said. “It is a county expense, but I don’t think it will be a significant one,” Kersten said. Areas with steep hills or sharp curves may not be able to accommodate higher speeds unless they are regraded. Roads with no or narrow shoulders may not qualify for speed increases without adequate width to reduce accident risk. Access points, including driveways, also need to be evaluated. If a qualifying road meets all safety criteria and engineering standards, the speed limit will automatically go up to 60 miles per hour as the new baseline speed takes effect. The law explicitly allows the speed limit to be kept at 55 miles per hour on roads that are unsafe for a higher limit. The county is not obligated to reconstruct roads to meet the new limit under this bill. “When limits are raised, even five miles per hour, we do see more crashes and the ones we see are more severe,” Scott County Sheriff Tim Lane said. “I expect a slight uptick, but nothing too major.” “If the law is applied well, only appropriate areas will see the speed increase. You also have to look at areas of slow traffic and animal accidents,” Lane said. The act changes how some speeding violations are processed. The first two speeding violations within a 12-month period that are less than 10 miles per hour over the limit in zones posted between 34 and 61 miles per hour will not be counted towards insurance rate increases or license suspensions. Lane said this will not change how speed enforcement is done, and that violations can still result in citations and fines. Lane said that rural residents have concerns over speed limit violations. “Farmers have concerns about driving their equipment on the roads with faster traffic,” Lane said. “People need to be aware that just because the speed limit is five miles per hour faster, doesn’t mean slow vehicles go faster. They’ll come up faster, and people need to react to that.” While many drivers may welcome higher speed limits and reduced travel time, county officials say the changes will take three to six months to evaluate and implement. Lane urges motorists to continue watching for slow-moving farm equipment, no matter the posted speed limit.

Brandy Manrique named to Dixon City Council

Brandy Manrique has taken her husband’s former seat on Dixon City Council. Dixon Councilmen Nick Phares and Matt Stolley appointed former councilman Nick Manrique to the city clerk position in June. His wife was the only resident to volunteer for the open seat. Phares and Stolley voted her in Wednesday, July 8. Mayor Steve Laughlin also resigned from his post in June. Phares said Laughlin “didn’t want to do it anymore.” Laughlin was not present at the July 8 council meeting and could not be reached for comment. Brandy Manrique works for the Iowa Department of Corrections as a public service manager for adult probation and parole programs. “I have 10-plus years of public service, and I thought this would be a good way to serve my community,” she said. She said she wanted to focus on finding grants and other local funding opportunities to help the city boost its revenue. She also hopes to consider “developing a not-for-profit that would be focused on community improvement.” Manrique will serve until local elections in November 2027.  “There has been a lot of movement with mayors and city council members,” she said. “Some consistency or continuity would be nice to see.” At the July 8 council meeting, Phares briefly addressed whether the appointment of a spouse constituted a conflict of interest. Under Iowa code, it does not, he said. “Council sets the wage for the clerk, so if that discussion was ever to come up, then she would have to recuse herself from that vote. “I will make sure that there is plenty of segregation of duties and nothing that is compromised or questionable,” Manrique said. Phares and Stolley have put out an open call for Dixon residents who would be interested in serving as mayor.

Princeton council greenlights Winding Hills renewal district

Princeton City Council approved a new urban renewal area that will help get a subdivision built on Locust Street. City officials and local developer Rod Reid have spent months designing an urban renewal plan that Reid said would provide the tax incentives he needs to complete the nine-lot Winding Hills subdivision. They approved the plan Thursday, July 9. The approved plan will allow the city of Princeton and Reid to borrow money for on-site infrastructure improvements against the property tax boost new homes are expected to generate. In April, Reid told the council that it would cost approximately $500,000 to run city water and sewer lines through the subdivision. Taxes assessed on the increased value of the subdivision will be used to service improvement debts, an arrangement called tax increment financing. The urban renewal area approved by Princeton circumscribes Reid’s subdivision. The council voted to approve it 4–0. Councilman Kevin Kernan was not present. At a public hearing on the urban renewal area, Princeton resident John Gickler questioned whether city utilities could support the additional homes. Gickler said he had researched Iowa utilities law with AI program Gemini and believed that the town could not expand its housing supply so long as the well on Lost Grove Road was out of commission. He said Iowa code requires a backup well be in service. In fact, Iowa code only requires that a city utility have the capacity to meet “the peak demand of all existing users and the proposed additional users” when expanding water infrastructure. Under Iowa code, construction of water utilities must follow a set of regional water utility standards which require that cities maintain at all times a minimum of two groundwater sources “unless otherwise specified by the reviewing authority.” It is not clear whether that requirement is enforceable or who would constitute the reviewing authority. Several Scott County cities have only one well in service. A June 24 story in The North Scott Press said the urban renewal area would provide Reid with a tax break. Princeton has configured their urban renewal area to fund infrastructure improvements, rather than reduce taxes. In other business, the city council approved a new contract with Central Broadband for internet service. City Clerk Kisa Tweed said the city previously paid over $700 per month for internet and phone lines with Windstream. Under the new contract, Princeton would $99.95 per month for internet with Central Broadband and $120 per month for phone lines with Windstream. During public comment, Princeton resident Rick Smith asked what they were doing to address a series of complaints he had filed about floodlights at a neighboring property. Mayor Travis Volrath suggested Smith take the matter to court. 

Eldridge silos out of use, River Valley announces

River Valley Cooperative will no longer accept grain at its Eldridge facility, although the company said it still plans to maintain an active presence in the community. The company announced it moved the grain elevators in Eldridge out of production effective July 1. There are no immediate plans for the elevators, and the company said it will “evaluate long-term plans for the property at a later date.” Meanwhile, the dry fertilizer shed complex located on the east side of the facility has also been listed for sale. RVC officials said this portion of the facility is no longer needed to support operations. Despite these changes, RVC officials said the company “remains committed to serving customers in the Eldridge area.” Agronomy operations will continue at the company’s facility on West Davenport Street, and the agronomy and energy center on South 18th Avenue will also remain in operation to serve member-owners and customers.

Riverfront fun in Princeton this weekend

Fun in the sun returns to the Mississippi riverfront with the Princeton Summer Fest this weekend. Youngsters should prepare for pigment at the 6:30 p.m. Color Run on River Drive Friday evening. Runners ages two and up are welcome. Well-splattered, they can collect a congratulatory hot dog, bag of chips and juice for dinner afterwards. Bounce houses, street paint and a DJ will keep kids entertained before evening fireworks over the Mississippi at dusk. Food vendors will keep hungry families fed and drinks flowing. Registration for the River Drive car show begins at 8 a.m. the next morning. Wolfe It Down Pizza, a local food truck, will offer a breakfast pizza special, festival organizers Zach and Demi Phares said. The car show and breakfast pizza sale benefit Princeton’s fire department and first responders. Car show registration closes at noon. Lineup for the city parade begins in the Virgil Grissom lot at 10:30 a.m. Floats will step off by 11 a.m. Former city clerk and councilwoman Karen Woomert will serve as grand marshal. A double-elimination softball tournament hosted by Mayor Travis Volrath will spin up Saturday morning and continue throughout the day. Registration is required in advance. Street activities will continue to entertain kids on River Drive Saturday. At 7 p.m., Radio Fighter Pilots will begin a riverfront set. The band is new this year, Zach Phares noted, one of a few small changes. Princeton will crown Otis and Piper Dues prince and princess of the festival Friday evening, Phares said. He said both were an active and lively presence in town. “They’re involved in a lot of things. They both play sports, you see them riding around town,” he said. “They’re really good kids.” This year’s summer fest T-shirt commemorates America 250. Organizers selected a design they hope visitors will appreciate. “Everyone has a festival shirt with a bunch of sponsors on it, but this is a shirt you can wear any day,” Phares explained.

County boosts vacation policy

Scott County employees now start with two weeks of paid vacation, a policy change that county Human Resources Director Vanessa Wierman said will help the county attract qualified employees. Supervisors approved the change along with a slate of other minor policy adjustments July 2.  Scott County employees previously received only 48 hours of paid vacation in their first year of employment. That figure increased to 80 hours, or two weeks, in their second year of employment. “We're finding that that is not sufficient for many individuals,” Wierman said. “They find it difficult to live their life, et cetera, with that limited amount.” County Treasurer Tony Knobbe expressed support for the change. “From a recruiting standpoint, we lose out on a lot of people who have at least some experience and who, in their current job, entered with at least two weeks of vacation,” he said. “This would be significant.” The change immediately impacts 86 employees, at a cost to the county of $105,000 in lost labor. Wierman said county offices would backfill the lost time with overtime when necessary. At Medic EMS, the county ambulance service, schedules will be adjusted to and maintain required staffing levels. Many Medic employees work 12- and 24-hour shifts. County employees’ vacation accrues by the hour every pay period. Supervisors approved minor changes to several other county policies, including sick leave payout and sick leave accrual for 24-hour-shift employees. They also adjusted risk management policies to accommodate the risk manager’s move from the county attorney’s office to county administration.

Iowa corn silking jumps ahead following hot, dry week

After several weeks trailing last year’s pace and the five-year average, corn development in Iowa has jumped ahead according to the latest crop progress and condition report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. According to the report, 38% of Iowa corn acres were silking as of the July 6-July 12 reporting period, which is 9 percentage points ahead of the five-year average pace and 5 percentage points ahead of 2025’s crop. It also represents a large jump from the week prior, when just 8% of corn acres in the state had reached the silking phase. One percent of Iowa corn acres have reached the dough stage, which is behind the 2025 crop and the five-year average by several percentage points. Corn condition remains fairly stable as the report rated 78% of corn acres as in good or excellent condition. Soybeans rated 74% good to excellent for the reporting period. The percentage of Iowa soybean acres blooming also jumped ahead during the most recent reporting period. At 56% blooming, the crop was ahead of last year’s pace by 5 percentage points and ahead of the five-year average by 6 percentage points. Sixteen percent of soybean acres were setting pods during the reporting period, which is slightly behind last year’s crop, but ahead of the average. In contrast to the months’ worth of rain received at the top of the month, the July 6-12 reporting period was “unseasonably dry” according to State Climatologist Justin Glisan who reported a statewide weekly average precipitation of 0.66 inch. The majority of fields had “adequate” soil moisture conditions, according to the report. Top soil rated 73% adequate moisture and subsoil rated 69% adequate for the reporting period. Stu Swanson, chair of Iowa Corn Growers Association and a farmer in Wright County, said his cropland is “a little on the short side” in terms of moisture, as he farms just north of where heavy rains left some fields with excess water the first week in July. “I would take some more rain, but the previous two years, we’ve had excess rain and really suffered production wise because of it,” Swanson said. “So I’d rather be just on the dry side instead of just on the wet side.” Speaking on July 10, Swanson said his soybeans were in the beginning stages of setting pods and his corn acres were starting to throw up tassels and begin silking. “Next week will really be a real key week in the state of Iowa for corn pollination,” Swanson said, adding he hoped the temperatures would stay somewhat cool. “A little cooler the next week or 10 days would set us up for a really good fall and harvest.” Iowa’s statewide average temperature for the reporting period was 77.4 degrees Fahrenheit, which was more than 2 degrees above the normal temperature for the reporting period. Climate outlooks from the National Weather Service predict temperatures likely above average for the coming week and precipitation amounts slightly below the normal for the state.

Groundhog Days

Regular readers of this column will remember that a groundhog named Geoffrey lives in my backyard. I once caught him sunbathing on my wooden porch. Together we like to eat raspberries growing from the brambles by my garage. I live alone and so does he. Groundhogs are the least social marmots, the Internet tells me. I did not realize they were in competition. Geoffrey vanished over the winter, or at least he seemed to. (I suppose he probably thought the same of me.) Now he is back, thumping across mown grass on a lazy Sunday morning. I recently marked the end of my first year at The North Scott Press. Geoffrey is a fitting symbol for what I have jokingly begun to call my “groundhog days.” Things are ever so slowly starting to repeat themselves. Last week I attended the Iowa 80 Truckstop’s Trucker’s Jamboree. Again. I tucked into the same pork chop, baked potato, coleslaw, dinner roll, and can of Coca-Cola I enjoyed last year. Two days later I was at the Eldridge Summer Festival. Again. At the Lion’s Breakfast Saturday I enjoyed a plate of the same pancakes and the same Styrofoam cup coffee. A kindly gentleman had heard that I was from back east and welcomed me to Iowa. Again. There are certain stories that do not seem to go away. I have been reporting on a power plant proposed for rural Scott County since last August. A schedule of upcoming hearings posted in June guarantees that I will continue reporting on it well past this August. I’ll have to meet the county planning and development director outside Maysville with a birthday cupcake and a candle. Here’s to many more. I remember worrying last spring that I might have signed up for a trivial job. I had a copy of the most recent NSP, with a lead story about whether the City of Eldridge should hire a full-time fire chief. Frighteningly small potatoes, I thought. One year later and I insisted on a four-column headline for the latest development in the same story (“Talks up in flames,” July 1). The only thing that changes is perspective. That is, of course, false in so many ways. There is plenty of change in small towns, despite the best efforts of their inhabitants. You might think to condemn habit and custom as backwardness, or praise them as character. But they are just another pair of natural forces. You might as well condemn gravity, or inertia. An object at rest tends to stay at rest. In August I will be back at the Mississippi Valley Fair. I will see many of the same children with many of the same animals and aim to enjoy the same pork chop sandwich at the door of the same pork show barn. At the pace of day to day, month to month, even year to year, change is hard to spot. Pigs do not look much different one summer to the next. Neither do I. To see the change, you have to really look.
