![]() ![]() “Currently, Iowa has 20 WIC agencies, with the change, the number decreases to 14. ![]() The proposed changes, called “Collaborative Service Areas,” - CSAs - mean an entire shift in service delivery, according to Hynes. MATURA itself is split down the middle, three counties on one side and three on the other.” For MCAH, two of our counties will be in one area and one county will be in another. Hynes states, “Our agency currently provides WIC services for 10 counties, with the proposed changes, four counties will be in one service area and six will be in another. MATURA Action Corporation, the current provider of services for these programs has been split in two, according to Karla Hynes, the WIC, MCAH and 1st Five program director for MATURA. The league saw a change in membership for the first time in over two decades when Logan–Magnolia and IKM–Manning joined from the Western Valley Activities Conference for the 2013–14 season.Changes in service areas proposed by the Iowa Department of Public Health last week will profoundly affect the provision of WIC, MCAH and 1st Five services to most residents in southwest Iowa. Finally, for the 1990–91 school year, Audubon joined the WIC to make it the 8-team league. Then following the 1987–88 school year Shelby-Tennant left the league, but it would join forces with AvoHa a few years later to form what is now known as AHST. After the 1985–86 school year, Carson–Macedonia dropped out, but would eventually join with Oakland to form Riverside. Following the 1982–83 school year, Iowa Deaf dropped out making the WIC a 9-team conference. At that time Elk Horn–Kimballton and Walnut dropped out to join the Rolling Hills Conference. It remained a 12-team conference until after the 1981–82 school year. ![]() Many changes have occurred since then to turn today’s WIC into an 8-team league. No regular season schedules were played during the 1971–72 school year, but girls and boys basketball tournaments and the traditional wrestling tournament were held in early 1972. Competition in the new 12-team conference began in the summer of 1971 with baseball and softball tournaments. The members of the Southwest Iowa Conference then were AvoHa (Avoca), Griswold, Missouri Valley, and Oakland. Members of the Tri-County Conference at that time were Carson–Macedonia, Elk Horn–Kimballton, Iowa School for the Deaf, Shelby-Tennant, Treynor, Tri-Center (Neola), Underwood, and Walnut. The Western Iowa Conference was organized in 1972 through the merger of the former Tri-County and Southwest Iowa Conferences. ![]()
