There will also be a recognition ceremony in the afternoon on their day on the Anne and Bill Riley Stage.

The Blue Ribbon Foundation began the Iowan of the Day award in 1997 to honor those Iowans who have truly made a difference in their communities. This year, the judges reviewed hundreds of nominations and selected those that demonstrate integrity, Iowa pride, hard work and dedication.

"We are so pleased to recognize these tremendous individuals as Iowans of the Day," said Peter Cownie, Executive Director of the Blue Ribbon Foundation. "Their volunteerism, dedication and service to their community and to the state of Iowa make each one deserving of this honor."

Devere Ganzer Named Iowan of the Day

DES MOINES, IA (07/30/2014)(readMedia)-- The Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation and Cookies Food Products are pleased to present Devere Ganzer of Grand Mound as an Iowan of the Day for the 2014 Iowa State Fair.

Ganzer depicts what it truly means to be an Iowan. He was an active farmer for much of his life, farming in three different counties. Now, at 85, he is still working part-time for Big Gain in Elwood, IA and also participates in 4-H. Since 1963, Ganzer has been involved in county fairs as the announcer of tractor pulls. He has announced at the Scott County Fair, Miles Thresher Days, the Grand Mound Tractor Pull, Clinton County Fair, Dubuque County Fair and Jackson County Fair. Another passion of his is square dancing, and he stays active by square dancing and also playing volleyball. A volunteer on top of everything else, Ganzer spends time visiting with seniors at some of the Nursing Homes in Cedar Falls. He also helps community members by getting groceries and running errands for those who are unable to drive themselves.

"Devere represents the heart of an Iowan in his spirit, generosity and citizenship," said State Representative Brian Moore.

Ganzer's day of recognition will be Friday, August 15, at the 2014 Iowa State Fair. Along with accommodations at the Downtown Des Moines Marriott, he will receive a cash prize, grandstand tickets and use of the Iowan of the Day golf cart. Ganzer will also receive a special introduction on August 15, at 2:15 p.m. on the Anne and Bill Riley Stage.

Founded in 1997, the Iowan of the Day program allows the Blue Ribbon Foundation to recognize Iowa's most outstanding individuals. The program continues to honor Iowan's across the state who have made a difference in others' lives, while upholding the characteristics associated with Iowa-dependability, integrity, hard work and sense of community.

The Blue Ribbon Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. Since 1993, the Foundation has generated more than $100 million for renovations and improvements to the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

Braley-Backed Anti-Spoofing Legislation Clears Committee Hurdle

By Kirsten Hartman

Congressman continues fight to prevent scams targeting Iowa seniors

Washington, D.C. - Continuing his fight to protect Iowa's seniors from scam-artists, Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-01) today supported the bipartisan Anti-Spoofing Act, which unanimously passed during a vote of the Energy and Commerce Committee.

"Scam artists are constantly refining their tactics in order to prey upon seniors?and it's imperative that we take quick action to keep our seniors safe and protected," Braley said. "The pathetic frauds engaged in this activity deserve to be punished." 

After reports of caller ID "spoofing" fraud in Iowa, Braley has fought to advance this bill, which would prohibit deceptive caller ID spoofing?a popular scam that defrauds unsuspecting seniors by displaying a name or entity on caller ID that appears to be trustworthy.

In 2009, the Truth in Caller ID Act was signed into law to prohibit caller ID spoofing when it is done to defraud or otherwise cause harm. The Anti-Spoofing Act improves, updates, and expands upon this existing law by broadening it to include text messaging and new internet-based telephone services as well as expanding the law to prevent spoofing from foreigners.

Braley has set up a Consumer Protection page on Congressman Braley's website for constituents to read more about other deceptive and fraudulent practices and how consumers can protect themselves.

Action Coalition Launches Iowa's First Online Nurse Residency Program

By Rick Martin

The Nurse Residency Task Force in the Iowa Action Coalition has developed an innovative, online nurse residency program that is designed to help recent graduates transition into their new roles as professional nurses.

The program's competency-based curriculum is delivered using a combination of live webinars as well as interactive, online modules and can be implemented in a variety of clinical settings across the United States.

Based on best practices and the latest research, the program's curriculum addresses competencies that are sometimes underdeveloped or lacking in new nurse graduates. Curriculum topics include transition from student to professional nurse; communication with patient care providers; responsibilities of the professional nurse, including evidence-based practice; and decision-making at the point of care.

Ernst's "Perfect World" Would Eliminate RFS, Threaten Nearly 75,000 Iowa Jobs

By Rick Martin
Ernst spokesperson: "In a perfect world, in a free market, [Ernst] would support doing away with (the RFS)"
Des Moines, IA - After two days of trying to explain away her "philosophical opposition" to the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) that supports nearly 75,000 Iowa jobs and her attendance tonight at a DC fundraiser sponsored by big oil special interests who want to gut the RFS, last night Ernst's campaign offered some much-needed clarification on Ernst's position:
"In a perfect world, in a free market, [Ernst] would support doing away with (the RFS)" -Sioux City Journal

To clarify, this is what is included in Ernst's "perfect world:"
  • The Renewable Fuel Standard would be eliminated
  • 75,000 Iowa jobs, and more than $5 billion in annual wages, would be threatened
  • Ernst's big oil supporters like the Koch Brothers and ExonnMobil would benefit, while Iowa workers and rural communities would suffer
  • Important innovation promoted by the RFS would be halted, and America's dependence on foreign oil would be increased

"Joni Ernst's 'perfect world' is a nightmare for Iowa's economy and the nearly 75,000 Iowans whose jobs are supported by the Renewable Fuel Standard in the real world," said Braley for Iowa spokesman Sam Lau. "It's clear that neither Ernst nor her campaign can explain away her philosophical opposition to the RFS, or why tonight she will attend a fundraiser hosted by big oil special interests who want to gut Iowa's energy industry.  While Bruce Braley is fighting to protect the RFS and strengthen Iowa's economy, Ernst continues to put the big oil special interests before Iowa."

BANDITS BOP LUMBERKINGS 7-5 FOR FOURTH IN A ROW

By Scott Kornberg

Phillips and McDonald each homer again while Thurman matches career-high with seven innings

DAVENPORT, Iowa. (July 29, 2014) - Brett Phillips and Chase McDonald each homered while Andrew Thurman overcame a rough first inning to match a career-high with seven frames as the Quad Cities River Bandits won their fourth in a row and ninth of 10 by bopping the Clinton LumberKings 7-5 in front of 3,270 at Modern Woodmen Park.

Each of the first four LumberKings (13-24 second half, 43-62 overall) to come to the plate in the first all singled off Thurman (5-6), with Justin Seager's base hit bringing in two runs to give Clinton an early 2-0 advantage. After Thurman induced a 4-6-3 double play, Christian Carmichael doubled in Chantz Mack to make it 3-0. Thurman would give up four runs on seven hits in his seven frames, walking two and striking out seven.

The Bandits (21-16, 56-50), though, responded immediately when Phillips rocketed the second pitch from Clinton starter Edwin Diaz (3-7) way over the right-center field wall for his 11th home run of the season and seventh during the month of July. It marked the fourth straight game with a roundtripper for the right fielder, who went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored.

Quad Cities would take the 4-3 lead in the bottom of the second when Chase McDonald, who was 3-for-4 with three RBIs, laced a two-run single off Diaz to bring home Brett Booth and Thomas Lindauer. After Diaz got A.J. Reed to foul out to the catcher Carmichael, Clinton went to the bullpen to bring in Aaron Brooks. Diaz lasted a season-low 1.2 innings, giving up four runs, three earned, on three hits with two walks and a strikeout to take the loss, Clinton's sixth in a row.

McDonald was not be finished. With one out and the score 6-3 River Bandits in the fourth, he crushed a fastball from Brooks over the center field wall for his 11th homer of the year and sixth of July, giving the River Bandits two players with at least six home runs in a month since Rainel Rosario and Matt Adams completed the feat in August of 2010. Quad Cities has bopped 27 home runs in the month of July; the team's most since hitting 30 in May of 2012.

Frederick Tiburcio pitched a scoreless ninth for his sixth save of the season. The victory gave manager Omar Lopez his 137th victory with the Quad Cities, the 10th-most in team history, and pushed the Bandits six games above .500 for the first time this season.

Quad Cities is scheduled to send Chris Lee (6-5, 3.74 ERA) to the mound tomorrow night against Clinton's Seon-Gi Kim (0-2, 2.16).
