Missionary couple to establish Agricultural Center in Peru By Rebecca Peter Tomorrow, American families will gather around dinner tables and give thanks for the blessings of living in a country - that by most standards around the globe - is still a land of plenty. But what of those families in countries where existence is a daily struggle? Bethany (Baxter) Noriega and her husband, Nelton Noriega Tajada, are working to help bring change to Peru. Bethany, the daughter of the Rev. Terry and Debby Baxter of Garner, and Nelton live in Iquitos, Peru. Iquitos is the fifth largest city in Peru. It is accessible only by river or air. The couple are missionaries with International Messengers in Clear Lake, where they receive their salaries and ministry support. But they are working with the Global Compassion Network to establish a center to teach sustainable agriculture in the jungle. Headquartered in Eagle Grove, Global Compassion Network is a non-profit charitable organization, committed to disaster relief internationally and domestically. Terry Baxter is one of the co-founders of the organization. Bethany first visited Peru in Feb. 2005 while on a mission trip with her father. She was a student at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago at the time, where she earned a degree in Bible and International Ministry. “I had always wanted to be a missionary,� Bethany recalled. “On that first trip I really just fell

Parent-teacher conferences discussed at West Hancock By Sarah Freesemann Attendance for parent-teacher conferences at West Hancock Elementary School in October was near 100 percent. Elementary principal Sara Grimm reported to the school board at the Nov. 18, meeting that conference attendance at the elementary was at 96 percent. “Our two-parent attendance was below 50 percent, but we will be pushing and working on improving that number for the next round of conferences,� said Grimm. Elementary teachers have also been working on contacting the missing 4 percent since conferences week to set up a time to meet or have a phone conference. Parent-teacher conference attendance at the middle school in Kanawha was 73 percent, while attendance at the high school was down 20 percent. High school principal Jeff Recker said they will continue to work on raising their attendance average, especially by personally contacting those student’s parents who are at a higher risk academically. Recker said the high school’s FAFSA informational meetings had good numbers, along with strong attendance numbers for the college fair night.

A high school jazz band has been organized and is meeting one morning a week. Trailers A company began work earlier this month on demolishing the remaining trailers left on the school-owned lot. Superintendent Wayne Kronemann said the crew is making progress and he will continue to monitor. School Calendar The 2014-2015 school calendar will be discussed and set during the December school board meeting. Kronemann said the board will need to decide whether the West Hancock School District will continue with a 180-day schedule, or switch over to an hourly calendar that would include 1,080 hours for a school year. Kronemann recommends the hourly schedule, but the pros and cons of each choice will be discussed in further detail at next month’s meeting. Accelerated Rehabilitation Athletic director Brian Peterson reported the partnership between the athletic department and Accelerated Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine has begun. An athletic trainer comes to the school on Wednesdays to see and treat any athlete or teacher that has an injury or concern.

At the September meeting, Peterson discussed plans and details of the partnership with Accelerated Rehab. The athletic department has split the $3,000 fee with the West Hancock Booster Club. A total $1,500 will be funded with the athletic general fund, while the other $1,500 paid by the Booster Club. The fee to Accelerated Rehab will provide West Hancock athletes and coaching staff the services of an Accelerated Rehab trainer two times a week, along with their presence at every home athletic event for grades 7-12. The trainer will work with the coaches in regards to what the athletes need, along with provide onsite rehab exercises and treatment during the visits twice a week. The trainer will also be on site for all home competitions to provide preventative treatments (i.e. taping etc.) and emergency care and assessments for both West Hancock athletes and the competitors’ athletes. If an athlete is injured during season, practice or competition, that athlete will receive rehab services from Accelerated Rehab on site (West Hancock) or PT CONF to page 2

Two killed in rollover accident in Wright County A Goodell man and a passenger in his vehicle were killed Sunday in a roll-over accident that occurred Sunday evening, about 7 miles east of Renwick in Wright County. The accident occurred about 9:18 p.m. The report from the Iowa State Patrol states, Jaimes Reyes Santos, 43, of Goodell was driving his 2001 Volkswagon Jetta GLS east on Wright County Road C26, near the intersection of County Road R33. Santos lost control of the vehicle, which went into the south ditch. The vehicle hit a utility pole, rolled over and came to rest on its top in a soybean field. Santos, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle. A front seat passenger, Armondo Romero-Soto, 50, of Hampton, was also fatally injured. The report indicates that RomeroSoto was wearing a seat belt and was extricated by emergency personnel. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene. The accident remains under investigation by the Iowa State Patrol. The Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Wright County Sheriff’s Department, Clarion Fire Department, Clarion Ambulance, the Wright County Medical Examiner and Henniger’s Towing.

“There’s a need for corn,� Bethany said. “That’s why we’re exploring corn for livestock feed.� They also raise plantain, rice, bananas, and papaya. They also want to research and develop a program for natural compost. “Everything we want to do would be in the area of organic and natural that the people could reproduce.� Global Compassion helped purchase 90 acres with donations from Iowans. Global Compassion will supply the Sukup-manufactured Safe T Homes that will be used as an agricultural research center and a ministry training center. “The goal is they can come and stay at the center for 3-4 weeks and learn how to properly plow the field, plant in a way that will produce more and use compost and manure that is available,� Bethany explained. Balancing sustainable agriculture with the ecology of the region is a concern. Clear-cutting not only strips natural resources, “but it’s also a lot of work and doesn’t give results,� she said. “That’s why we don’t want to strip everything. Part of the reason we want to do this, is so people don’t have to clear cut year after year. They can use the same plot of land over and over. We do want to conserve.� The couple also wants to use the center as a Bible camp, “Youth can come for weekend retreats and MISSION to page 7

Thorsen’s Thanksgiving weekend plans include having the family over on Saturday. “The thing I am most thankful for is this country,� said Terri Greiman, Garner. “Despite its faults, we still can worship God. He’s the most important thing in my life followed by my husband and my family.�

MaxYield Cooperative presented Hancock County Extension and Outreach with a contribution aimed at decreasing the cost of enrollment in 4-H youth programs. “We are continuing our support of local 4-H and our commitment to our youth,� said Chad Meyer, MaxYield Client Relations Director. “Recently, we presented a contribution for $10.00 per 4-H member in order to decrease the cost of 4-H membership.� Meyer said the cooperative has two goals in providing the program. “First, we want to make 4-H an affordable youth program for local families, especially families that have multiple children enrolled. Secondly, by paying a portion of each 4-H member’s enrollment fee, we are able to continue our mission in supporting 4-H so that each member benefits.� The cooperative contributed nearly $1800 to County Extension and Outreach and will contribute more than $18,000 to 4-H in seven Iowa counties annually. “We believe that 4-H is one of the cornerstones in developing youth and 4-H provides an excellent foundation to build strong families. 4-H also provides a great way for young people to learn more about agriculture and its exciting future,� commented Meyer.

PT CONF from page 1 at one of their clinic locations (Forest City, Clear Lake, Mason City) free of charge for the entire duration of their rehab process. The athletic department plans to reassess the partnership with Accelerated

Rehab at the completion of the first year. They will evaluate if the school used the services to its fullest extent in comparison to cost. Mitigation Plan The school board approved and adopted a countywide Multi-Jurisdiction-

al Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan for the school district, passing 6-0. By having such a plan in place, it will allow the West Hancock School District the ability to apply for FEMA aide if such need/ opportunity should arise.

Also in the book is a list of rural township citizens and their occupations plus the Iowa state laws of the road. This beautiful book was originally produced right after major rail lines were laid but a decade before cars came to the county and drainage ditches were established. The 1896 Hancock County Plat is a great snapshot of county history and will make a super gift for Grandpas, Sons, Grandsons, landlords or renters for Christmas as a “keeper� for future generations. The weathered donated original plat is worth over $250 at an auction but citizens can own a brand new reprint for much less. This 46-page book is being offered now from the Winnebago Historical Society. Individual books can also be purchased for $30 postpaid by sending money to WHS, Box 27, Forest City, Iowa 50436.

A discovery in an attic in Madison Township in Hancock County this summer has given the opportunity for today’s citizens to view how the county looked and was occupied by residents in 1896. The 1896 Hancock County Plat was donated to the Winnebago Historical Society. The Society hired a professional firm to completely reproduce the book. The book covers 16 townships and eight cities and villages. Township pages show rural resident locations, school districts, country schools, cemeteries and railroads. Each town and village is individually platted to show additions, blocks, business districts, and houses located in each city block. County residents who have previewed this plat have discovered places like now drained Lake Edward, Madison Junction, Stilson, Mikesville, and Amsterdam and horse roads that spanned the county.

Preserving G-H history Yearbooks to be digitized By Rebecca Peter GARNER - You can help preserve Garner school history. The Garner Public Library and Garner-Hayfield Community School are working on a project to digitize school yearbooks starting from the early 1900s to the present. Yearbooks for the following years are needed to complete the project: 1958, 1957, 1947, 1946, 1944, 1943, 1942, 1939-1923, 1920-1916 and anything before 1914. “The Yearbook Project� was started by OCI, a state agency located in Lexington, Okla. It was brought to their attention that high schools and libraries were loosing their yearbooks. Some books were being destroyed by natural disasters and some by people cutting images from them. OCI is doing “The Yearbook Project� as a free service to local libraries to help preserve these books and their historical content. “This is one of those research projects that we as the public library enjoy so much - getting to work with community members to preserve a piece of Garner history,� said Ellen Petty, Garner Public Library director. Yearbooks will be scanned, put on DVD, and returned in their original

condition. The library will be able to digitally reprint any book, just a few pages, or a single image from the DVD. An extra set of DVDs will be shared with high school. “Free digitalization of our yearbooks is a great opportunity for our school,� said Lorrie Formanek, lead office professional at the Garner-Hayfield/Ventura High School. “The yearbooks we have are a resource that is used countless times by former graduates, community members, people researching genealogy, law enforcement, and many other entities.� If you have a Garner school annual from one of years listed above, and would like to loan it to the project, contact Ellen Petty at 641-923-2850, email: garner .library@mchsi.com, or Lorrie Formanek at 641-923-2684, email: lformanek@garner.k12.ia.us. Bring the yearbook to the Garner Public Library.

QUESTION: What is Peripheral Artery Disease, and how can I prevent it? ANSWER by: Molly Schaefer, CRT RCP, Hancock County Health System Respiratory Therapy Department/ Cardiopulmonary, providing treatment and care at Hancock County Memorial Hospital. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs. This usually affects the legs, and when the legs are receiving enough blood flow to keep up with demand, leg pain occurs. PAD can be a sign of a more widespread accumulation of fatty deposits in your arteries which could mean blood flow to your heart and brain can also be affected. Signs and symptoms of PAD include painful cramping in your hip, thigh, or calf muscle after activities such as walking or climbing stairs, leg numbness or weakness, coldness in your lower leg or foot, hair loss or slower hair growth on your feet and legs, and/or no pulse or weak pulse in your legs or feet. Diabetics and smokers have the greatest risk for PAD. Other risk factors include obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and

family history of PAD. Screening for PAD can include a test called an ankle-brachial index (ABI). An ABI is a noninvasive way to check your risk of PAD by comparing your blood pressure measured at your ankle with your blood pressure measured at your arm. A low ABI number can indicate narrowing or blockage of the arteries in your legs, leading to circulatory problems, heart disease, or stoke. There may be other tests accompanied by this ABI. To minimize your risk of developing PAD, keep your blood pressure and cholesterol under control, and keep your diabetes in check. This can all be done through exercise and/or medications prescribed by your healthcare provider. If you smoke, the best thing you can do is quit. Discuss this with your healthcare provider, as well, if you are having troubles doing so. If you have any questions or concerns about PAD, discuss them with your doctor.

West Hancock Superintendent Update By Wayne Kronemann The big news around town is the fact that the board of education decided to take out the Aus trees on the west side of the school property. Why? The trees have lived their lives. They are a 10-30 year tree with life varying based on climate. They have been here around 30 years. They had been planted too close together but even with that they have lived a good life and served a great purpose. The trees look great from a distance in the summer but at any other time and up close they were a disaster. They had broken limbs in and around the whole stand. They had also lost some of their ability to block the wind. They were becoming a danger to our fans and our students. On a regular occasion, large limbs would break off in the wind and even without wind on occasion. They also created a huge amount of work for our staff and our students. During the outdoor sports seasons it was not uncommon for students and staff to spend weeks cleaning prior to sporting events. Custodians were constantly picking up the branches prior to mowing. The time and money that they were spending to this tedious task could be put to more productive use. $GYHUWLVLQJ LV ZHOO UHDG (YHQ D $IWHU DOO [ \RX DUH UHDGLQJ WKLV DGYHUWLVHPHQW

The board has plans to plant replacement trees next spring. The tree will most likely be a quick growing evergreen variety. So for a little while, fans and students will have do without the aid of their wind blocking power as they did before this stand of trees ever existed. Who knows -maybe we will even have a better stand in the long run and the trees may extend behind the bleachers, which will provide even more comfort to our fans and students.

Klemme library receives memorial gift KLEMME - The family of the late Marvin “Mike� G. Lemke recently donated a memorial gift of a decorative bench to the Klemme Public Library. Lemke grew up in Klemme, served in World War II and was wounded in battle. He came back home to find his old job waiting for him. He served as manager of Klemme Co-op for 38 years. A letter from the Lemke family said Mike came from a family of five children. Lemke was a junior in high school he decided that it would be best if he would quit school in April and go work on a farm to help the family. The Klemme school superintendent approached him and said that if he

would stop working and make up the two months of missed school, he would give him a job in the school library. With perseverance, Lemke finished his junior and senior year and graduated with honors from Klemme High School. “He has shared with us many times how grateful he was that he was given this opportunity, plus he read every book that was available,� according to the Lemke family. “Our family feels that the Klemme Library is such a useful tool for all the residents of the town. We were happy to raise our children there and cherish fond memories of our time spent there. Klemme will always be in our hearts.�

Winter Des Moines Bus Trip Reminder Seats are still available for the Winnebago and Hancock County Conservation Boards’ January 4th motorcoach excursion to Des Moines! On that day, the two conservation boards will be sponsoring a trip to visit the newlyremodeled Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden, as well as the Science Center of Des Moines. It should prove to be an enjoyable trip for people of all ages! The first stop of the day will be at the Des Moines Botanical Garden, which was recently closed for three months for renovations. The Garden’s pathways, gardens, and balconies have been improved, and the lobby is now home to Iowa’s first living wall. While at the Garden, people will have the opportunity to stroll through the botanical displays, browse through the Garden’s gift shop (with its assortment of naturallyinspired gifts and books), and enjoy lunch at Trellis, the Garden’s new cafĂŠ. The warmth of the tropical gardens should provide some nice relief from the cold, Iowa winter! After visiting the Botanical Garden, the group will head to the Science Center of Iowa. While there, everyone will have a chance to experience the world premiere of the National Geographic exhibit Earth Explorers. Earth Explorers is an interactive exhibit that allows people to explore various biomes much as an actual explorer would. Through the display, people will be able to “vis-

it� the polar regions, the oceans, the rainforests, and the savannas, as well as mountains and caves. Besides browsing through the rest of the museum, the group will also enjoy the IMAX movie “Flight of the Butterflies,� which details one scientist’s 40-year journey to unravel the mystery of where Monarch butterflies go each fall. The cost of the Des Moines Winter Bus Trip will be $55 for adults aged 18-64, and $50 for kids under 18 and senior citizens over 64. Members of the Friends of Winnebago County Conservation Foundation will receive an additional $5 discount. Those prices will cover the motorcoach transportation, all admission fees, and the IMAX movie. Lunch at the Botanical Garden and a meal stop on the way home are not included. Most likely, departure locations will be in Forest City and Garner, but other departure locations may be added depending upon who registers for the trip. To register, people simply need to send a check (made out to the WCCB), along with their contact information, to the Winnebago County Conservation Board, 34496 110th Avenue, Forest City, IA, 50436. Trip itineraries will be sent out to all participants about a week or two before the trip. For more information about the Des Moines Winter Bus Trip, people can contact either Winnebago County Naturalist Lisa Ralls at 641-565-3390, or Hancock County Naturalist Jason Lackore at 641-923-2720.

The Heart of America Chorus of Kansas City invited the River City Chorus to participate. The Kansas City chapter is the second oldest chapter of the Barbershop Society in America and came up with the idea for the anniversary show. The River City Chorus often competes against the Heart of America Chorus and was invited to the festival on the basis of River City’s quality reputation and their ties with the Broadway musical “The Music Man.� Other participating groups are Crossroads Quartet, The Gas House Gang and Premium Blend. The director for the show is Mark Fortino.

The River City barbershoppers will perform with all of the groups in one large chorus at the opening and closing of the show. For their own set during the concert, the River City chorus will perform “Down on the Corner� by Creedence Clearwater Revival; Loch Lomond� as a tribute to those that have served in the military; and songs from “The Music Man,� including “The Wells Fargo Wagon,� “Goodnight, My Someone,� “Seventy-Six Trombones� and “Lida Rose.� The chorus will leave Mason City at 5:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 29. That evening

the group will attend the Radio City Christmas Spectacular Show in New York City. On Saturday they will enjoy a day of rehearsal and time to explore the city before a welcome dinner that evening. Sunday will include more rehearsal time before the show that evening at Carnegie Hall at 8:30 p.m. Following the concert, chorus members will enjoy a post-concert reception on a New York Harbor Cruise around the Statue of Liberty on the Hudson River. The groups plan to sing patriotic songs on the cruise. The chorus will return to Mason City on Monday, Dec. 2.

84-);- 2716 =; 16 ?7:;018 Death in the Pot

Elisha returned to Gilgal and there was a famine in that region. While the company of the prophets was meeting with him, he said to his servant, “Put on the large pot and cook some stew for these prophets.� One of them went out into the fields to gather herbs and found a wild vine and picked as many of its gourds as his garment could hold. When he returned, he cut them up into the pot of stew, though no one knew what they were. 40 The stew was poured out for the men, but as they began to eat it, they cried out, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!� And they could not eat it. Elisha said, “Get some flour.� He put it into the pot and said, “Serve it to the people to eat.� And there was nothing harmful in the pot. Catholic THE CATHOLIC PARISHES OF HANCOCK COUNTY ST.

Feeding of a Hundred

A man came from Baal Shalishah, bringing the man of God twenty loaves of barley bread baked from the first ripe grain, along with some heads of new grain. “Give it to the people to eat,� Elisha said. “How can I set this before a hundred men?� his servant asked. But Elisha answered, “Give it to the people to eat. For this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.’� Then he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the Lord. –2 Kings 4:38-44 Tuesday, Dec. 3 1:30 p.m. Prairie View Svcs Wednesday, Dec. 4 5:15 p.m. CE Meal 5:30 p.m. CE Classes 5:30 p.m. Dave’s Adult Study Group 7 p.m. Advent Service 8 p.m. Senior Choir

Global Compassion Network ships Safe T HomesŽ to Peru Global Compassion Network is sending a container of Safe T HomesŽ to Iquitos, Peru that will be used as a multipurpose facility that includes a ministry training center and also an agricultural research center. The GCN Haitian Village of Hope has served as a testing ground for the Safe T HomeŽ - a highly modified grain bin with a heat shield – and doors are now opening in Peru. GCN works with missionaries Bethany Baxter (daughter of Garner’s Terry and Debby Baxter) and her husband, Nelton Noriega Tejada, in Iquitos, Peru, as they minister to the neglected people in the region. Currently, work is being done to clear the land to prepare for the new facility. Short-term teams are needed as well as 2 Honda 4-Wheelers, a wood splitter, 2-3 40-foot shipping containers and a weed wacker. Donations can be sent to Global Compassion Network at PO Box 193, Eagle Grove, IA 50533 or can be made online at www.globalcn.us/donate.

Bethany (Baxter) Noriega, her husband Nelton Noriega Tajada of Iquitos, Peru, and Terry Baxter of Garner visited Sukup Manu this morning as they loaded the very first container of Safe T HomesÂŽ to go to Peru. Global Compassion Network has sent numerous containers to Haiti and one to Kenya, but this is first shipment to Peru. (Submitted photo)

MISSION from page 1 have an environment where we can teach them values,â€? she said. Maintaining Thankfulness Bethany considers Peru her home, but she does miss Iowa. “One of the biggest things I miss beside my family is the four seasons,â€? she said. “But I’m getting used to it.â€? She returns to United States about once a year. Nelton, Bethany and their two daughters, Kyliana, 3, and Briel, 18 months, were recently back in Garner for a visit. Much of Peru is still has a “Third Worldâ€? standard of living. “The first year I was there, I was so shocked by how little people have. Very few changes of clothes‌one pair of shoes,â€? Bethany said. “By Peruvian standards, I have a lot. By American standards, I’ve given up so much.â€? “One thing I’ve noticed, whenever we compare, we tend to compare ourselves to people who have more and

say, ‘Oh, I don’t have much.’ When do we really stop and compare ourselves to people who have less and say, I have so much?â€? Bethany, who speaks Spanish fluently, overheard two Peruvian girls who saw the suitcases where Bethany and Nelton keep medical and other supplies for jungle living. The girls thought the couple must be millionaires. “It was almost embarrassing,â€? she said. “Then I thought, you know, it’s true, to them I am a millionaire.â€? “One of the hardest things about coming back [to Iowa] is that this is the land of plenty. Now that I have kids I’m learning how to walk them through that without ruining them.â€? “We don’t shop in Peru very much,â€? she continued. “When we come home‌this is where we do our shopping for the year or two years.â€? Bethany likes to shop at the thrift stores and get clothes and shoes for her girls.

“We get a lot of things given to us. So it’s hard. I want my girls to maintain an attitude of gratefulness and thankfulness for what they do have and not get caught up in an attitude of entitlement and greed.� While she loves and appreciates the fact friends and family want to give Kyliana and Briel clothing, toys, etc. when they come home to visit - there’s a catch. “I don’t want my kids to associate America with stuff,� she said. “I want them to associate it with grandpa and grandma, with family and relationships.� So when Bethany receives gifts for her daughters, she asks the giver to give it to her first. “I’ll bring it to Peru, and sometime down the road when they’re missing someone or for a special occasion, I’ll take it out, wrap it up and I’ll say, this is from your aunt or whoever, and they’ll maintain an attitude of thankfulness.�

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Iowa Fishing Report For lake locations, maps and other information, go to www.iowadnr. gov/Fishing/FishingReports.aspx The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issues a weekly fishing report on Thursdays in an effort to provide the latest information heading into the weekend. The weekly fishing report is compiled from information gathered from local bait shops, angler creel surveys, and county and state parks staff. For current information, contact the district fisheries office at the phone number listed at the end of each district report. NORTHWEST Bacon Creek Lake Bacon Creek was stocked with 1,500 catchable size rainbow trout on Nov. 20th. Rainbow Trout - Excellent: Anglers have been catching limits of rainbow trout casting very small spinners and Kastmasters. Moorland Pond Moorland Pond was stocked with 1,500 catchable size rainbow trout on Nov. 16th. Rainbow Trout - Excellent: Anglers have been catching limits of rainbow trout casting small spinners and Kastmasters. For more information on lakes, ponds, and rivers in the Black Hawk District contact the District Office at 712-657-2638. Lake Smith We have received no information regarding fishing on this water body this week. Clear Lake White Bass - Slow: No reports this week. Some smaller white bass (10-12 inches) had been caught by the grade at sunset with small jig and piece of worm. Walleye - Slow: No reports this week. Yellow Bass - Slow: No reports this week. Shore fisherman might still have luck by the Ventura Grade and near the Harborage outlet. Crystal Lake No Reports For lake updates and fishing information in the north central area contact the Clear Lake Fish and Wildlife office at 641-357-3517.

The Leader • Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2013

Letterwinners returning to play basketball for Garner-Hayfield/Ventura in the 2013-2014 season are: (front row, left to right) Mackenzie Haag, Kim Dornbier, Emily Spilman, Courtney Younge, Tiara VanGerpen, (back row) Bri Bier, Grace Tusha, Maddie Tusha, Sydney Younge, and Shelby Rayhons.

Cardinal Girls Return Experience In a typical year, most basketball coaches will have three or four experienced players returning from the previous season as a foundation for their squad. This is not a typical year for GHV girls’ coach Matt Erpelding. One of Erpelding’s challenges in the early weeks of the season is deciding how to use the wealth of experience that he has available. With four starters returning from last year’s roster and six more players with significant varsity experience, Erpelding should be able to field a fairly competitive team. Officials at the IHSGAU obviously agree, as the Cardinals were rated 11th in the Class 3A preseason rankings that were released last week. The Cards got off to a slow start a year ago, losing three of their first four contests before finding some continuity. GHV showed marked improvement as the season progressed, assembling an eight game winning streak at the end of the regular season that included victories in the final six games of North Iowa Conference play. That surge propelled GHV to a runner-up finish in league play at 10 – 4 while completing the season at 16-8. The Cardinals made a good run in the post-season, falling just one game short of a state tournament appearance after losing their Class 3A regional final contest to Spirit Lake. Three senior starters return for the Cardinals this season as Maddie Tusha comes back with impressive credentials. Tusha averaged almost nine points per game as a junior on the way to earning first team all-conference honors. Maddie was also named to the IBCA All-Region 2 roster. Senior Bri

Bier’s resume is also impressive after averaging nine points per game as a junior. Bier was named to the NIC’s second team roster and was also listed as an IBCA All-Region 2 player. Senior Shelby Rayhons will lend her leadership to the team after scoring just under six points per game as a starter a year ago. Rounding out the list of returning starters is junior Mackenzie Haag who averaged almost five points per game a year ago. Adding depth to the mix are six girls that saw significant action in at least 18 games last season. Seniors Courtney Younge and Kim Dornbier hope to find a spot in the rotation as are juniors Emily Spilman, Tiara Van Gerpen, Grace Tusha and Sydney Younge. Senior Olivia Hackbarth along with juniors Mallory Van Oort and Madee Hejna are also hoping to earn a spot in the lineup. In addition, freshmen Hannah Lau and Mackenzie Van Gerpen are expected to compete for playing time as the season progresses. Erpelding noted that he is excited about having so much experience returning. The second-year Cardinal coach noted that the athleticism of the girls should allow the team to do a variety of things on both ends of the floor. “Our basketball IQ is very high and that allows me to implement a variety of different schemes.� An area of concern for Coach Erpelding is perimeter shooting. Erpelding stated that he’ll need a couple of girls to step up and replace the shooting provided by Hannah Hutcheson who was lost to graduation. “There are several girls who are very capable perimeter

shooters but they need to show they can consistently knock them down in game situations. Our free throw shooting also needs vast improvement for us to make a deep run in tournaments.� At this point in the season, Erpelding is waiting to see who will step up and provide consistent production in the low post. According to Coach Erpelding that position remains wide open as it was all of last season. The Cardinal girls got a taste of action last week as they faced Mason City High School in a preseason Hall of Pride Scrimmage. The scrimmage allows teams to play in a game-like situation but is not counted as an official game. GHV faced a strong test in the CARDINALS to page 13

CARDINALS from page 12 scrimmage as the Mohawks also appeared in the preseason rankings as the fifth-rated team in Class 5A. The score was close through the first three quarters of the scrimmage, but Mason City pulled away in the final eight minutes to win 50 – 28. Nine Cardinal players appeared in the scoring column, with Tiara Van Gerpen and Shelby Rayhons leading the way with six and five points respectively. Sydney Younge and Courtney Younge led GHV on the boards with seven and six rebounds. GHV began last season with some adversity and according to Coach Erpelding it is repeating again this year. “Just like last season this season is not off to a real great start as we already have two girls nursing pretty severe injuries. Bri has a knee injury of which the severity is still not known. We are hopeful it is just a sprained mcl but there is some major concern that there might be some acl damage as well. Hannah Lau has a

severely sprained ankle. I don’t anticipate having either of them back anytime soon.� In spite of the injuries, Erpelding maintains high expectations for the squad. “This team has the potential to accomplish some pretty special things. We have a lot of improvement to make before realizing that potential but if the first two weeks of practice is any indication this group has shown the ability to make that improvement. It is a journey to reach our goals and we will embark on that journey by taking it one day at a time and trying to make improvements each and every one of those days. This is a great group of young ladies, all 31 in the program, and I look forward to working with all of them. They are a lot of fun to be around and most importantly are very coachable.� GHV will open their season tonight (Tuesday, November 26) at home against West Fork.

Area students compete at regional vocal competition

Klemme welcomes December with a “Hometown Christmas� Santa will be arriving in Klemme by fire truck at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7, at the Klemme Community Building during Klemme’s “Hometown Christmas Party�. This party will be held from 2 to 4:30 p.m. with many activities for children and adults including an “Old Times in Klemme� slide presentation, Christmas tree decorating activities, puzzles, and coloring activities. There will be refreshments of cookies, coffee, and cider, as well as the treats Santa has to share. That same afternoon, Saturday, Dec. 7, the Klemme Homestead Museum will be all decorated for Christmas for the museum’s open house from 1 to 3 p.m. The museum is located in the oldest house in Klemme at 112 South 2nd Street. The main part of this home was built in 1878 and was donated to the city by Novella Bredbenner after her death in 2007. It was the home place of the Bredbenner family and is filled with many unique antique pieces from the Bredbenner/Lau family. It is also the location of memorabilia from the Klemme School and from former Klemme businesses. Novella Bredbenner was born in 1917 and taught school her whole life, moving back to her hometown when she retired. Although she never had a driver’s license, Novella traveled the world extensively and collected numerous souvenirs from those travels. Many of the articles from her travels are displayed in the museum. Everyone is welcome to attend the open house and the Hometown Christmas Party. Everything is free although donations for the museum are gratefully accepted. The snow date is Dec. 14.

FOREST CITY – Directed by Waldorf’s Adjunct Instructor of Music Sarah Luebke, nine area students from Waldorf College, North Iowa Area Community College, Mason City High School, and Garner-Hayfield Ventura High School recently traveled to Augustana College in Rock Island, Ill., to compete at the Central Regional National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) Competition. Over 550 students from Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri participated in the Central Regional competition held Nov. 15-16. Students ranging in ages from 14 to 30 auditioned for the opportunity to advance to the national level of the NATS contest. Waldorf’s Associate Professor of Music Dr. KristĂ­n JĂłnĂ­na Taylor served as the students’ collaborative pianist for all levels of the competition. “The students have been preparing since August,â€? explained Luebke. “Preparing for a voice competition is a lot like preparing for a wedding,â€? she added. “In the beginning there are a lot of logistics, and as the work

performer,â€? explained Luebke. “The top three singers move to the next round, with honorable mention awarded to the fourth place winner from each division.â€? Rayhons, a baritone and senior at Garner-Hayfield Ventura High School, was awarded first place for his performance of “Die Postâ€? from Franz Schubert’s Winterreise in the High School Junior/Senior Men’s Division. He will have an opportunity to audition for the National NATS Competition held next July in Boston, Mass. For her performance of “Shyâ€? from Once Upon a Mattress and “Come to your Sensesâ€? from Tick, Tick‌ Boom!, mezzo-soprano and Waldorf junior Atchison was awarded honorable mention. The National Association of Teachers of Singing is the largest professional association of vocal instructors in the world according to

the organization’s website. Founded in 1944, the association seeks to encourage vocal art and ethical principles in the teaching of singing, as well as promote vocal education and research at all levels.

With snow comes snowmobile safety A snowmobile safety course is being offered on Saturday, Dec. 7 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The class will be held in the basement of the Law Enforcement Center at the courthouse in Garner. The cost of the class is $10. Students must pre-register by calling Ross at 641-923-2871. Students will also need to bring a sack lunch the day of the class.

Attracting birds to your backyard

THE

By: Kaytlan Bockenstedt, Lime Creek Nature Center, Bird feeding has been an American tradition for years. It provides us with an opportunity for close viewing of the different bird species. Feeding helps the birds by providing them with a food source when winter weather conditions may be harsh or when they are making a long migration. We begin to develop an appreciation for the birds the more we view them at our feeders. When developing a feeding station in your backyard the first thing you need to do is think like a bird. A bird has some basic life requirements such as food, shelter and nesting places. You will want to consider what type of birds you would like to attract and then you can research which type of feeder works best for that bird. If you want to attract a diverse array of birds then you will want to have many different types of feeders and seed types. It seems to work best if the feeders are placed near perches, cover, or a water source. Water attracts birds as effectively as seed in the winter time, and there are a variety of heated bird baths available. It is important to start feeding birds in the early fall when they are in search of a reliable food source. However, if you keep your feeders full all year you might catch a glimpse of a colorful migrating bird. There are several different seeds you can fill your feeders with to at-

tract different birds. Black oil sunflower seed is a favorite of most birds including cardinals. The seeds are smaller and easier for most birds to handle. Mixed seeds are a favorite by platform feeders such as doves, juncos, and blue jays. If you’re looking to attract game birds such as turkeys and pheasants they often come to cracked corn. Chickadees, nuthatches, and woodpeckers love to eat peanuts in feeders or suet cakes. Feeders are made for specific seed. You will want to make sure your seed does not get wet and that the feeder has drainage holes. It is important to clean your feeders once a month to prevent bacteria from growing. One common type of feeder is a hanging feeder. They are placed to hang from areas 8 feet from buildings and can hold many different types of seed. Platform feeders are designed for ground feeding and are usually designed for mixed seed. Bird feeding is cheap entertainment! Keep a list of bird species you have seen and maybe consider assisting with monitoring projects such as the Christmas Bird Count visit (http://birds.audubon.org/christmasbird-countor) or Project Feederwatch visit (http://feederwatch.org/). If you are looking to build your own feeder visit the Lime Creek Nature Center for our bird feeder designs.

Potted Christmas trees produce holiday cheer all year long Christmas trees are the quintessential decoration of the holiday season, often erected in front windows gleaming with decorations, trinkets and lights. Much thought goes into selecting a tree and turning it into the centerpiece of a celebration. Holiday celebrants with no personal preference may struggle with the decision to buy an artificial or real tree. Those who opt for a real tree may think their only options are the cut trees available at local tree lots. But those interested in a tree that will last far beyond the holiday season can select a potted Christmas tree, all the while adding an ecoconscious element to their holiday celebrations. Selecting a live tree is an environmentally sound choice. Trees that have their roots intact can be transplanted outdoors after Christmas. This reduces the waste associated with tree disposal and provides various benefits to the environment, as the trees act as a natural air filter while providing shade and wind barriers. An evergreen tree, which remains lush and green all year long, is also an ideal habitat for backyard creatures. Trees help control excessive moisture issues in the soil by drawing up water for survival, and can help prevent erosion of soil in more arid climates. Caring for a potted tree takes a bit more effort than a standard cut tree. There are a few steps that need to be taken to ensure its post-Christmas survival. You can purchase the tree several weeks in advance of the holidays, provided you water the tree frequently and keep it outdoors in the cool weather in the weeks leading up to the holiday. Select a tree variety that is hardy to the specific zone in which you live and will acclimate to the climate and soil conditions. A local nursery should be able to guide you to the right evergreen. Because you intend to plant this tree after the holidays, it is a good idea to choose the location where the tree will eventually grow and dig the hole as early as possible before the

A live, potted Christmas tree can be planted outdoors after the holidays where it can be enjoyed for years and years to come. ground freezes and becomes difficult to excavate. Consider digging the hole in the autumn and then filling it with leaves or a tarp until the time comes to plant the tree. Roughly two weeks before Christmas, you will need to transition the tree for indoor use. Neglecting this step may result in shock to the tree, which can cause it to wilt or die. Place the tree inside of a garage or a shed where it is generally warmer than outside but not yet room temperature. After this two-week period, move the tree inside where it will have a place of honor for festivities. Do not leave the tree inside the house for more than 10 days. It will need to be moved back into the garage and then outside before planting. Many evergreens are durable, and the majority of the decorations you use on the tree should not harm it. But be careful not to tug or break branches. Use small lights that do not generate much heat; otherwise, you risk damaging the boughs with

burns. When the tree is indoors, it’s also essential to keep it in an area that gets filtered sunlight and is away from heating vents that may dry it out. A spot in front of the front window may be the best location.

Gift returns done right Gift returns are inevitable come the holiday season. No matter how much thought shoppers put into gifts for their loved ones, chances are someone is going to return one of those gifts. Clothing may not fit or a gift might be a duplicate, while other gifts simply don’t tickle a recipient’s fancy. But returns should not be taken as a personal slight, and men and women can take steps to make the process of returning gifts a lot easier. Givers There are many ways to facilitate the process of exchanging gifts or making returns, including finding a gift that is less likely to be retuned. In a survey for the popular department store Kohl’s, researchers found that clothing, items for the home and beauty and fragrance items were the gifts most likely to be returned. So shoppers may want to avoid such gifts this holiday season. Another way to make returning or exchanging gifts easier is to make note of the policies governing such returns and exchanges. Such policies are often posted near checkout areas and are outlined on the back of printed receipts. Before embarking on a shopping trip, shoppers can visit a retailer’s Web site and familiarize themselves with its return policies. If rules are unclear, ask an employee. Shoppers also can shop at stores that allow consumers ample time to return or exchanges gifts. This allows your loved ones to return or exchange a gift when it’s most convenient for them. Many retailers have recognized the advantages to having more liberal return policies. A recent survey by ConsumerWorld.org identified which retailers have made changes and which have maintained the same return policies. Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Kohl’s, Marshalls, and TJ Maxx were found to be the retailers with the most gener-

ous regular or holiday return deadlines. Choosing retailers with more lenient return and exchange policies can make things easier on your loved ones. Shoppers also should include a gift receipt with gifts. This shows recipients that you have their needs in mind and want to make the process of exchanging or returning a gift as easy as possible. Without a receipt, recipients may not get the full value of the item at its time of purchase and only get credited with the current price of the item. Prices are often slashed in the days following the holidays. Many stores have become more stringent with their return policies in an attempt to avoid fraud. As a result, receipts are essential because without a receipt stores cannot verify purchases or issue a refund or exchange. Certain stores will allow a certain number of returns without a receipt, but these are carefully recorded and linked to a shopper’s driver’s license number. This makes it easier for retailers to monitor serial returners. Some retailers even refuse returns without receipts. Recipients Try to make returns during less busy times of the day. Long lines at the customer service counter are commonplace in the days after Christmas. Check the receipt for the return deadline, and try to wait at least a week or two after the holiday rush is over, eventually visiting the store in the early morning or late evening when crowds typically have thinned. Returns for online purchases may be challenging. Some retailers allow returns at their brick-and-mortar stores, while others require consumers to mail back the item. Some stores will only offer store credit instead of a cash refund or replacement of funds on a credit card. Online returns may require the help of the person who gave you the gift.

How to avoid post-holiday shopping crowds Come December 26th, many people are tired of shopping. Yet, there are deals to be had on everything from clothing to electronics on the day after Christmas, when savvy shoppers can take advantage of slashed prices to stock up on a few more things. But for millions of people the day after Christmas is about more than just returning gifts or finding great deals. For the people who live in countries that are or were British commonwealth nations, Boxing Day is a cause for celebration, and it just so happens to fall on December 26th. Boxing Day was traditionally a day when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts from their employers and superiors. However, it is now primarily known as a shopping holiday similar to Black Friday. On Boxing Day, shoppers take advantage of deep discounts and dramatic sales, and many retailers open their stores very early. Shoppers arrive in droves to shop the sales, and such crowds can be

overwhelming. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to make Boxing Day shopping less taxing this year. • Shop when stores tend to be less busy. Ask store managers and/or employees when business tends to be at its slowest. Even though shopping on a holiday might still be busy, there may be a slow hour or two when you can avoid crowds. Shopping those times, whether early in the morning or late at night, can make the day less stressful. • Shop online. There are never crowds online, which allows you to browse from the comforts of home. One disadvantage to online shopping is that you sometimes cannot get an accurate idea of the size of a garment or the feel of the material. However, when shopping for toys, electronics or home products, you may not need to touch and feel the items. • Create a list and stick to it. Before shopping, create a list of what you want to buy and avoid straying from that list once your shopping trip begins. You

will spend considerably less time wandering aimlessly in a store if you make a list before shopping. • Wait another day or two. Crowds will not be as big if you wait a few days after Boxing Day to find deals. If you can postpone your trip to the store, you may still benefit from sales. Waiting even longer may enable you to buy seasonal items on clearance as stores make room for spring merchandise. • Shop all year long. Veteran shop-

pers tend to purchase items when they are most affordable, even if that means getting some holiday shopping done in the summer. Spreading purchases out over the entire year allows shoppers to manage their budgets and avoid hefty bills come January. Shopping for gifts throughout the year also frees up time during the holiday season, when time spent at the mall or shopping online can be better spent celebrating with family and friends.

Progress on Outdoor Classroom Renovation GARNER - The public will notice a change in the 2½ acres south of the USDA Building in Garner. The Hancock Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), with the help of volunteers, have been working for the past several months to clear up the area and redesign an outdoor classroom. “This outdoor classroom features an Iowa native prairie and conifers (evergreens) that area schools and the public can use to learn about what Iowa was like before development,â€? said MaryJo Burkgren, district employee. “This area will also provide much needed habitat for different species of birds, reptiles and mammals, which is in short supply.â€? Burkgren continued, “Even though these trees look great from a distance, up close the damage is evident. Because of the May heavy snowfall, many of the conifers ended up with broken branches. When a conifer is damaged, they will not heal like a hardwood tree will. Other trees in this area had started to die off prior to the heavy snowfall. Conifers die from the bottom up.â€? The Hancock County SWCD is working with area businesses to finish cleaning up the area and also ordering new conifers. As shown on the map below, the trees along 3rd street will be planted

FOREST CITY - Winnebago and the city of Lake Mills have come to an agreement on the 5-year lease of the 100,000-square-foot plant formerly owned and operated by Cummins Filtration. The Lake Mills facility will be used for the production of Winnebago’s Class B motorhomes; initially the new Travato model built on the Ram ProMaster chassis.

“This is a definite win-win for us,� said Winnebago Chairman, CEO and President Randy Potts. “The Lake Mills facility is much larger than our current Class B production facility in Charles City and allows us to expand our growing Class B motorhome line.

In Kanawha, you will find containers at the First Lutheran Church, the Christian Reformed Church, Pronto, Big Brad’s and First Citizen’s Bank. Toys in the Britt area will be collected on Thursday, Dec. 5. In Garner, they will be collected on Tuesday, Dec. 10.

There is a particular need for gifts for preteen and teenagers. Toys should be valued at least $10 or more so as to eliminate “stocking stuffers.� Angel tree volunteers would like to thank the communities for their support in making this a brighter Christmas for many.

With the close proximity of Lake Mills, it’s very cost effective to transport components and motorhomes the 16 miles between Lake Mills and our headquarters in Forest City. “In turn, it allows us to transition our current Class B production facility in

Charles City to additional subassembly operations. We plan to begin the process of staffing and equipping the Lake Mills facility immediately with the goal of starting initial production by early February. Our Charles City facility will continue to manufacture Class B’s as we transition to our Lake Mills facility, and move other subassembly operations to Charles City.�

Supervisors hold first reading of Social Host ordinance department be going through a lot of cases that will cost the taxpayers money?� she asked. Hancock County Sheriff Scott Dodd did not foresee his department using the ordinance weekly. “But it certainly gives us one more tool for some of these gatherings,� he said. “Anyone who has a law enforcement office [police, sheriff, DNR, etc.] can enforce this,� he said. Attorney Solheim noted that the 4th amendment still applies. “We won’t have deputies kicking down doors,� he said. Deb Quintus, Garner Asset Project Director, reported county-wide social host ordinances are already in effect in 21 counties. Kossuth County is currently working on one. “I don’t see how much more of a burden on the county than what it already is,� said Ted Hall, supervisor. “With the exception of Britt, Kanawha and Garner, who have their own law enforcement, we provide law enforcement for all the rest. It fills in the gaps.� Jerry Tlach, supervisor, agreed that the proposed ordinance is something that [the Sheriff’s Department] can use.� The vote on the first reading of the social host ordinance was Ted Hall and Jerry Tlach in favor. Sis Greiman voted no.

By Rebecca Peter GARNER - On a 2-1 vote, the Hancock County Board of Supervisors passed the first reading of a social host ordinance for Hancock County. A second and final reading will be held 10 a.m., Monday, Dec. 2. The ordinance sets out civil penalties for persons who knowingly allow or permit consumption of alcohol by under age persons at social gatherings. The Hancock County ordinance would provide a civil penalty of $750 for a first time violation. Second and subsequent offenses carry a penalty of $1,000. The county may also seek reimbursement for enforcement services by emergency responders related to the event, gathering or party. The county-wide social host ordinance was originally proposed to supervisors in October by representatives of the Garner Asset Project in October. County attorney David Solheim said the ordinance is intended to “fill the gap in a situation where somebody might not be directly providing alcohol but is providing a premises where the consumption alcohol is occurring.� There is also a section on exceptions to the ordinance (restaurants, religious observances, etc.), he said. Solheim said the ordinance targets “near peers� of minors - persons over the age of 21 who still have friends or peers who are under age 21, who are providing minors a place to consume alcohol. Supervisor Sis Greiman said she is a supporter of the Garner Asset Project, but she also has concerns when there are already laws governing underage drinking and providing alcohol to minors. Greiman said she has received emails from persons who were concerned about how the ordinance could potentially be an invasion of their home. “My concern as a supervisor is, will we use it enough to make it work? Or will the county attorney and sheriff’s
