Polk County Itemizer-Observer • August 5, 2015 9A Polk County News Fair: Changes include beer, wine, rodeo and fewer days Water: Low creek levels, prompt conservation Continued from 1A Rogue will bring in a vari- ety of locally made brews, ranging from an always pop- ular IPA and something for light beer and dark beer lovers. Eola will feature three whites and three reds, mov- ing from sweet to dry. If you are not yet 21 — or alcohol just isn’t your thing — the fair will have a coffee stand on the grounds for an extra kick, or maybe a frozen hot chocolate. Like hot dogs? Dog Gone Coastal, a new vendor this year, puts a little creativity into the classic fair food. As an example, the featured hot dog “beach picnic,” will have potato salad and barbecue chips on it. “He does all sorts of (un- usual) hot dogs,” said Linda Friedow, an administrative assistant at the fair. Funnel cakes and deep fried Oreos are on the menu at another food vendor new to the fair this year. Need some excitement in your Thursday night? Returning opening night is the first rodeo of any type the fair has had in years. The Hell on Hooves Roughstock Rodeo will take over the arena Thursday night. Andersen said the com- munity response to bringing back the rodeo has been positive and along the lines of, “It’s about time.” Even without a carnival, Continued from 1A “Our water level testing the following Monday showed the wells continue to drop,” Danko said. “To be prudent, it’s wise to try and conserve water rather than end up in a situation in the future where we would need to initiate water use curtailment plans like other communities have done.” In Monmouth, Public Works Director Russ Cooper said water levels are also down, consistent with what he would ex- pect in late summer. “I have heard a lot of conservation pub- licity this summer with droughts in the west and our unusually hot weather,” Cooper said. “Folks are receiving the mes- sage to conserve water from a number of sources. We encourage folks to continue using water wisely.” That includes letting lawns remain dor- mant, Cooper said. “Let the fall rains green them up,” he said. “It would require a lot of water to green lawns back up during the remaining hot and dry months of summer.” No city in the county has issued as stern a conservation message as Dallas. On Thursday, Dallas City Manager Ron Foggin issued a voluntary water restriction ad- visory after the District 16 Watermaster issued shutoff notices to Combs and others who had water rights issued after the 1964 date. Restrictions include asking residents to avoid running water to clean buildings, pavement, tile, wood, plastic or other sur- faces; avoid irrigating from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and avoid using any water that causes runoff beyond the immediate vicinity of use. “We strive to be the best stewards of the water resource as well as good neighbors,” Foggin said in the release. “The city makes every effort to keep a million gallons of water a day moving down the creek.” He assured residents that the city has enough water to get through the fall.

The Polk County Live- stock Association’s popular youth livestock auction has been moved as well, from 6 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday to eliminate a timing conflict with musical headliner Car- rie Cunningham at 8 p.m. Traditional events and at- tractions — exhibits, animal shows and vendor booths — remain a mainstay of the Polk County Fair. Andersen said, so far, she hasn’t heard many concerns about the changes and is waiting to see what people think once the fair kicks off Thursday. “We’ve actually had a lot of phone calls from people asking when things are tak- ing place, but no com- plaints,” she said. In recent years, The Polk County Fair has reached out for assistance in finding ways to attract more atten- dance during its key event of the year. Even the 2015 theme, “Blue Jeans and Country Dreams,” was part of a contest to find a theme with wider appeal. The 2015 fair is the culmination of those feasible opinions and suggestions. “We did our fair survey and have tried to implement everything people have asked for,” Andersen said. Voluntary restrictions Avoid: • Running water from a hose, pipe or faucet to clean buildings and paved, tile, wood, plastic or other surfaces. • Adding water to ornamental foun- tains, ponds and other water features. • Using water that causes runoff be- yond the area of use. • Use of potable water for cleaning, ir- rigation or construction purposes. • Irrigation any time between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Also: All restaurants are asked to re- frain from serving water except upon re- quest from the customer. Operators of motels are asked to post notices of drought conditions in each room. Residents are urged to take vehicles and boats to commercial car washing fa- cilities equipped with water recycling equipment, or by use of a bucket and hose equipped with a self-closing valve. “These restrictions are voluntary, but I feel that if we all take action, our commu- nity will be able to slow the city’s use of water and help those users downstream,” Foggin said. In Independence, Danko said he is wor- ried about water levels into the fall and winter, but stressed he is not alarmed yet. “At this point, I’m more concerned about next season, since another warm winter has been forecast in the news,” Danko said. Combs said he wished he could have had some advance warning this would happen so he could have planned for it better than having to slash prices now. He’s not yet sure how much this devastating season will affect Daryll’s Nursery’s revenue for 2015. “It’ll hurt financially,” he said. “It’s going to hurt for sure.” P OLK C OUNTY W ORSHIP D IRECTORY DALLAS Calvary Chapel Dallas www.calvarydallasor.com Currently meeting for worship and verse by verse Bible teaching at 628 SE Jefferson St. Worship service begins at 10 a.m. on Sunday.
