GARNER – Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds promoted investing in Iowa and continued economic growth during a recent tour of Stellar Industries in Garner, Sept. 14. Stellar is in the midst of an expansion project. “This is a 40,000 square foot expansion and new building where we are going to put our first operations fabrication facility into it, said Steve Schnieders, operations manager. The new structure will “increase factory flow and efficiencies,” according to Schnieders. He anticipated the company will be adding to the workforce because of the expansion. The project is targeted for completion by January. Reynolds said visiting Iowa’s 99 counties is the favorite part of her job. “It gives me an opportunity to get out and speak and meet with business and industry.” Wednesday’s stop in Hancock CounREYNOLDS to page 4

Storm water issues dominate council meeting Rebecca Peter

gleadernews@qwestoffice.net GARNER – Concerns and frustration over water runoff resulting in street flooding and water in basements during downpours, dominated discussion during the Sept. 13 Garner City Council meeting. Areas of town with historically the most severe storm water drainage issues are West Hwy. 18/Cottonwood Drive, the 300 block of West Lyon Street, and West Sesame Street. Residents from West Lyons and Sesame Streets were frustrated by the storm water runoff from the east park-

ing lot of the high school. They say that the hard surfacing that was done there in recent years worsened the water runoff situation than in the years past and they were concerned that the new construction underway at the high school will worsen it even more. While not against progress, and recognizing the need for growth in the community, they were frustrated about the reoccurring water issues during a downpour. Likewise, several business owners along Cottonwood Drive were also frustrated the by the drainage GARNER top page 2

Kanawha council discuss police needs Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom

Topics pertaining to the police department were many at the Kanawha City Council meeting on September 13. Councilperson Ray Bassett moved for the approval of an ammunition purchase for the police department, a motion that was seconded and passed with all in favor. The ammunition is for a pistol, and “It’s needed for the (police) chief to do the annual qualification,” Kanawha City Clerk Sharon Grimm said.

Along with ammunition, a bid from Mason City Glass Service in the amount of $2,066 to replace the walkin door at the police station was discussed. Bassett moved to approve the purchase, which was seconded and all were in favor as the motion passed. Grimm said “The old door was in bad shape and needed to be replaced,” but Kanawha mayor Nancy Litch added, “It might be a while before the door is installed being that it has to be built,” but continued “I hope it can be done in less than a month.” Additionally, Councilperson Christa KANAWHA to page 2

The atmosphere was filled with smiles and excitement as the Central Iowa Model A Club made its first ever stop in Britt to visit the Hobo Museum and have lunch at the Evangelical Free Church on September 15. Twenty-six Model A’s and 43 people were part of the 21st Great Annual Model A Ride Around Iowa which ranged in color from black to tan, green and even teal, and theIR visit was highly anticipated. “We are here to greet the drivers and passengers from the Model A’s,” 1994 National Hobo Queen “New York” Maggie Malone said. “I’m very excited. I can’t wait to see the cars, can’t wait to meet the people and can’t wait to show off the museum.” It was a sentiment shared by Malone’s sister “Connecticut Shorty,” who was also named National Hobo Queen in 1992. The Malones are the only sisters to have ever both been so honored. “This is wonderful. We’re always happy when we can promote hobo history in a positive way,” “Connecticut Shorty” said as she readied her-

Goodell to reapply for USDA grant Rebecca Peter

the USDA waiver for the 45/55 grant. The city had to decide whether or not to continue with the grant or return it to the USDA and reapply for 75/25 grant from the USDA. According to Madden, new government criteria has put Goodell in a different bracket and makes the city eligible for the higher grant amount. Acquiring the new grant would have the advantage of lowering the monthly cost of the project for citizens. It was noted at the meeting, that much of the prep work for the grant was already done.

self to lead the Model A club through the museum. Prior to the club’s arrival and the beginning of the tour, a pair of local gentlemen pulled up in their own Model A’s to show them off to local onlookers. Tom Deibler of Garner and Duncan resident Ace Folkerts had their 1931 and ’29 Model A’s, respectively, parked in front of the Hobo Museum and couldn’t wait to have a peek at the other vehicles because when it comes to Model A’s, “I love it, love it, love it,” Folkerts said. The GAMARAI tour began in Ankeny on the morning of September 14 and made stops in Mason City and Clear Lake before pulling into Britt, and more than two decades on, the event continues to grow. “It started the first year with six or seven Model A’ers getting together and did a three or four-day road trip,” President of the Central Iowa Model A Club John McLain said, “and it just kept getting bigger and bigger,” ballooning to nearly fifty for this year’s trek. The response the club receives is always the same. “Everybody’s just amazed seeing all the Model A’s and that we’re taking them that far,” McLain said. “We

go 500 or 600 miles in four days, and that’s pretty amazing in a Model A, when probably top speed in some of them is 50 miles per hour.” Ford assembled the Model A between 1928 and ’31, after the Model T that ran from 1906 to ’27, and several improvements came with it. “With the Model T, the brake was in the transmission and it had three pedals to run it,“ McLain said. “On the Model A, it has a three-speed transmission and we’ve got a brake pedal,” but noted that starting the Model A is not as simple as sitting down and turning a key. “You’ve got to get the spark, you’ve got to pull the choke and set your idle. There’s numerous things to do before you get going.” McLain estimates that it would cost between $9,000 and $20,000 to purchase a Model A, and searching for one can be as simple as looking in a newspaper or magazine classifieds section, or even going online. A member of the Central Iowa Model A Club for five years, this was the first year that McLain organized the event, but he didn’t do it alone. “That guy right there,” pointing to Central Iowa Model A Club Vice President Clarence Cory, “He helped MODEL As to page 10

Hospital provides $8.9 million in community benefits

Two people were injured in a chain-reaction accident on Hwy. 18 at Garner, Sept. 11.

Four-vehicle collision on Hwy. 18 Rebecca Peter

gleadernews@qwestoffice.net GARNER – Two people were injured following a four-vehicle chain reaction accident Sunday, Sept. 11, at the 400 Block of Highway 18 East in Garner. The accident occurred 9:47 p.m. According to Garner police, three vehicles were stopped on Highway 18 waiting for a train to cross the highway. The vehicles were driven by Eric Williams of Garner, Karrie Pringnitz of Garner, and Duane Peterson of West Union. The report noted the train was stationary at the time and flashing red warning lights were in operation. A west bound car driven by Paul Miller of Wesley, failed to stop for the parked vehicles and crashed into the rear of Peterson’s vehicle causing Peterson’s car to careen north and crash

into the guard rail. The momentum of Miller’s vehicle carried him west and rear ended Pringnitz vehicle, causing the Pringnitz vehicle to clip the rear driver’s side corner of the Williams vehicle. Peterson was transported to Mercy Medical Center. Miller also sustained minor injuries was taken to Hancock County Memorial Hospital at Britt. The vehicles driven by Peterson, Miller, and Pringnitz received severe damage. The truck driven by Williams had minor damage. Miller was cited for failure to maintain control. The Garner Police Department was assisted at the scene by the Garner Volunteer Ambulance Service, the Garner Fire Department and the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office.

KANAWHA from page 1 Hanson offered a motion to pay $300 toward the purchase of a tread-mill which would be utilized by both the police and volunteer fire departments. The fire department will cover the remaining $450 of the total cost of the tread-mill, which will be kept at the fire house. “(The fire house) is a roomy place for the exercise equipment,” Litch said. The tread mill is used but in good shape,” and came about after the police chief and firemen discussed the idea because “They had nothing to keep in shape with,” which was “mostly a problem in the winter months.” The motion was seconded and passed with all in favor. The council was also in consensus that the City of Kanawha would not be in involved with regard to reservations

for the City Park shelter house. “The council’s discussion on reserving the City Park shelter house boiled down to the City would not be involved in ‘saving’ the shelter house (for residents), Grimm said. “It might be as simple as someone just posting a note inside the shelter house that they will be using it on such and such a day.” Finally, Superintendent of Public Works Spangler informed the council that trees damaged in storms on private property had been brought to the street for City pick-up in the past, but that Spangler had spent time trimming those branches down in order to load them. The council came to the consensus agreement that all branches should be no longer than six inches in length or exceed 50 pounds in weight if dragged to the street for City removal.

GOODELL from page 1 sound financial condition and the city’s chances for the 75/25 grant are very good. In the event that the Goodell does not acquire the new grant in 2016, it would be at the top of the list for funding in 2017. The council voted to return the 45/55 grant to the USDA. In her report to the council, city clerk Janet Dietel received an email from the Iowa Northern Railway Co. in Cedar Rapids, stating the railroad will be moving about 375 cars out of storage. Then about the same number of cars will be brought back in. This

exchange will take place over the next two to three weeks. In other matters, councilman Tom Bonjour reported that Watermelon Day on Aug. 27 was a success. All activities were well attended and 115 people were fed during the noon lunch. The Goodell Betterment Committee is working on other activity options for future years, according to Bonjour. Upcoming events at Goodell include Trick or Treat night on Saturday, Oct. 29. The Fire Department will host their annual Pheasant breakfast and luncheon on October 29.

BRITT – Hancock County Health System (HCHS) provided $8.9 million in community benefits to Hancock County, according to a recently completed assessment of those programs and services. That amount, based on 2015 figures, includes $8.6 million in uncompensated care (charity care, Medicare and Medicaid loses and bad debt) and $297,950 in free or discounted community benefits that HCHS specifically implemented to help Hancock County residents. Community benefits are activities designed to improve health status and increase access to health care. Along with uncompensated care, community benefits include such services and programs as health screenings, support groups, counseling, immunizations, nutritional services and transportation programs. “At HCHS, we pride ourselves on offering programs to the community that would not have otherwise been available. Services such as free screenings, support groups and education are vital services that help people enjoy a healthier life,” said Jeff Stampohar, CEO/Administrator, HCHS. The results for HCHS are included in a statewide report by the Iowa Hospital Association (IHA) that shows Iowa hospitals provided community benefits in 2015 valued at more than GARNER from page 1 problems that occur during heavy rain events. “There was a proposal three years ago for a 48-inch main from Cottonwood to the [Iowa River],” said Garner veterinarian, Bruce Schupanitz. “Why hasn’t the council done anything with this?” The group urged the council to make resolving the drainage issues in those neighborhoods a priority. For the Sept. 27 city council meeting, city engineer Drew Sweers of Veenstra & Kimm, will have an engineering contract to begin the Cottonwood Storm Sewer Project, according to Randy Lansing, city administrator. Sweers will have a comparison of upsizing the South Allen Avenue storm sewers versus building a new large storm sewer from the high school’s northeast corner to the Iowa River along Lyon Street.

$1 billion, including more than $246 million in charity care. All 118 of Iowa’s community hospitals participated in the survey. “Iowa hospitals are uniquely positioned to deliver these programs and services,” said IHA President and CEO Kirk Norris. “No other public or private entity could possibly fill in for hospitals in terms of both assessing and responding to specific community needs.” Uncompensated care (which is made up of both charity care and bad debt) also plays a role in overall community benefit for services provided by

hospitals. Total uncompensated care in 2015 was valued at nearly $520 million. The survey also showed total Medicare and Medicaid losses (at cost) of nearly $370 million. HCHS stats for Medicare loss was $6.7 million and Medicaid shortfall at approximately $694,000. Bad debt totaled approximately $1.1 million. “These are significant figures,” said Julie Damm, Chief Financial Officer at HCHS. “ As patients are forced to pay a bigger share of their medical bills, bad debt will remain a concern, but we as hospitals need to be on the

frontlines in counseling patients at the point of service, assessing their financial capacity and finding creative ways to help them pay.” Iowa hospitals, which employ more than 71,000 people, continue implement strategies that increase value to their patients and communities by offering high-quality care to individuals, addressing the health needs of identified populations and implementing process improvements that bend the cost curve. By seeking out ways to raise quality, reduce waste and increase safety, Iowa hospitals have become value leaders, as shown in multiple studies by the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care, the Commonwealth Fund and others. At HCHS, many cost-efficient processes have been implemented within the past year by maintaining a dedicated focus to “reexamining everything we do,” Stampohar said. “The more efficient we are the more we are able to invest our resources in staff and equipment to provide patient care.” These efforts, along with IHA’s ongoing advocacy to create fairer payment methodologies from Medicare and Medicaid, help ensure the financial stability of hospitals, making it possible for them to provide the services and programs most needed by their communities.

The wall

faceless bureaucracy of government office workers. Gratitude plays a big part as well. Government drinking ages and drug laws have taught us that we are not responsible for our actions. When bad things happen because of drugs or alcohol we first say, “where did they get it” rather than, “how foolish or disrespectful.” This leads to further calls to replace self respect and respect for others with state mandates. State mandates don’t inspire love and respect, they produce defiance, black markets, crime, and skyrocketing costs. If our country’s laws merely protected our property rather than trying (unsuccessfully) to manage, improve, insure, incentivize, equalize, and coddle our lives then a much smaller government could make it impossible for terrorists or welfare cheats to survive here. And they would either return home or become contributing members of society. A military that defends our borders instead of the rest of the world could make the border a filter, not a wall that excludes valuable contributors along with the ones we should keep out. It would also keep that military from creating more disasters around the world that come to haunt us later. Build the wall for a bandaid if you’ve given up on our republic. Or eliminate theft from our government’s duties in order to solve domestic problems and keep us safe from invaders. A wall might keep out a few criminals. But our welfare state produces them right here at a much higher rate. Comments on this article are welcome as a letter to the paper or to me at 4selfgovernment@gmail.com.

Centenarian recognition event

Parents: You may save the life of a child.

Haven in Fort Dodge. Iowa Governor Terry Branstad and Iowa Department on Aging Director Donna Harvey spent the afternoon meeting the honored guests and their families. In addition, 83 other centenarians in the 29 counties serviced by Elderbridge were also recognized and received a certificate signed by the Governor. In total, over 600 centenarians across Iowa were recognized. This year, all Iowans who will be 100 or older by Dec. 31, 2016 are eligible to take part. The Governor will be invited to all the regional recognition events held this fall, put on by the six agencies on aging in Iowa. However, depending on his schedule, Governor Branstad may be represented by another member of his office, the executive branch or the legislature at the ceremony in Spencer. It’s not too late for a centenarian to be recognized. If they haven’t filled one out already, an information release form can be obtained by contacting Danika.Welsch@iowa. gov or mail the Iowa Department on Aging – Centenarian Project, 510 E 12th St., Ste. 2, Des Moines, IA 50319-9025. Centenarians who reside in long-term care facilities have already been contacted through the facility administrator. However, if you know of a centenarian who is living at home, please feel free to direct them or their caregivers to the Iowa Department on Aging’s website at https://www.iowaaging.gov/centenarians.

A big thank you to the Webner’s and the Garner Vision Committee State Street looked beautiful once again this summer! From Central Park to the boulevards, the flowers and benches in front of our State Street businesses looked amazing. Linda and Earl Webner and their daughter, Heather Gordner, with the help of the Garner Vision Committee, volunteer their time and resources to this project. Countless hours by this group goes into making Garner’s downtown picture perfect. Garner is one of the few north Iowa towns that continues to grow and prosper and one of the many great reasons for this is the Vision Committee’s work on beautifying our town. I can’t think of a better way to advertise our great city. If you are interested in helping out the Vision Committee in any way, please contact City Hall. Again, thanks to all that have contributed to this great project! Tim Schmidt Garner, Iowa

The world runs on advertising. Not just newspapers, though I greatly appreciate our advertisers and the money that allows us to sell these papers at such reasonable subscription rates (renew today!). Pretty much anything that lots of people will look at inevitably ends up the target of advertisers. Billboards, bus stations, I hear there are even commercials on television. And when Wells Fargo isn’t busy committing fraud and identity theft on their customers, they’re dumping millions of dollars to have sports stadiums named after them. How much of our world runs on advertising? Consider this. Adblock Plus is selling ads to be shown through their software that, as its name implies, is supposed to block ads. Recently the company launched an extension of its “Acceptable Ads Platform,” which allows websites to purchase advertisements from a pre-selected whitelist. Users with the Adblock Plus extension (who opt to have the whitelist turned on) will see those pre-selected ads upon visiting that particular site. The “Acceptable Ads Platform” has been around for a while, but Adblock Plus’s new service creates a new marketplace that streamlines the whitelisting process. Everything about this situation is weird, starting with the Adblock Plus business model. Step 1. Give away free software to millions of internet users that don’t want to deal with ads. Step 2. Sell ads to those users. In a way it makes a kind of sense. Adblock Plus users aren’t their customers, they are the product. By establishing a user base, they’ve effectively secured the exclusive ability to advertise to a massive number of people. Advertisers have no option but to go through them. If that seems morally shady, that’s because it is. Let’s make no bones about it. This is a hair’s width away from straight up extortion. “Oh hey, nice website you’ve got here. Sure would be a shame if we gave tools to millions of people to visit your site without seeing your ads. But hey, if you pay us a little bit, we’ll let people see your ads.” It’s like a war profiteer selling body armor to one side of a conflict

and armor piercing bullets to the other. That said, Adblock Plus becoming a self-proclaimed gatekeeper for advertising might still be the best outcome for everybody. Adblocking software didn’t just happen. It was a reaction to increasingly intrusive advertising practices. Gaudy ads that distracted from the content, elaborate animated that hogged memory and processing resources, full-screen overlays with miniscule close buttons forcing their way between you and the webpage you’re trying to look at. To say nothing of intrusive and unwelcome video, pop-ups, and ads that tracked your web browsing habits. Advertising companies proved incapable of restraining themselves in their ever escalating efforts for our attention. For millions of people, myself included, the willingness to support websites with our clicks became outweighed by an unwillingness to deal with the toxic environment that out of control ads created. This has created an all-or-nothing situation when it comes to advertising. Sure, there are plenty of people out there simply unwilling to accept ads under any circumstance. Those people are selfishly entitled and should feel shame if they are capable of it. Plenty of others don’t have a problem with the idea of advertising, it’s the execution that’s turned them off. Whitelisting is a feature in most adblocking software, but that requires to manually opt in to every site. It’s something most people don’t have inclination to do. I feel a twang of guilt when I realize that I’ve forgotten to turn off adblocking on sites that have earned the fraction of a penny that my views are intended to provide, but the bad doesn’t outweigh the good. If advertisers could be trusted to not go overboard, we wouldn’t have this issue. If websites could figure out a way to monetize without ads, we wouldn’t have this issue. Neither is likely to happen. Adblock Plus setting themselves up as a middle man is not ideal, but it may be a necessary compromise between terrible ads and no ads at all.

One hundred years ago, Europe was embroiled in the Great War. Alaska and Hawaii were still only territories, and the centenarians of today were just beginning their grand journeys. Now, the Iowa Department on Aging and Elderbridge Agency on Aging will be honoring those Iowans 100 years in age and older at St. Luke Lutheran Home in Spencer, Iowa on October 26. The celebration will begin at 2 p.m. in the Great Room of the Highlands independent living facility of St. Luke Homes. The event will feature light refreshments, a speech honoring the centenarians and a video showing the recognized centenarians and the Iowa they grew up in. This event gives Iowa’s oldest and most treasured citizens a chance to be recognized and appreciated for all that they have given to our state and country throughout their long lives. “We are so fortunate to have such a large number of centenarians in Iowa,” said Iowa Department on Aging Director Donna Harvey. “They have lived through things many of us have only read about in books or seen in movies. Their collective wisdom and experience is an inspiration to us all. We can learn so much from these men and women who have helped make Iowa the great state that it is.” Last year, on September 16, Elderbridge honored nine area centenarians in an event held at the Tompkins Celebration Center at Friendship

I am constantly bombarded with email forwards about the dastardly deeds and potential dangers of Islamic extremism and other foreign interlopers. A wall on the Mexican border has become the popular solution. This will supposedly protect American workers from the unfair competition of people who want to work hard. And the jihadis will not be able to get through and blow things up. The claim that “illegals” are receiving benefits that should be reserved only for citizens opens up a topic that is largely ignored but the most important of all. It could be argued that non-citizens are less deserving of someone else’s property. I contend that no one is deserving of anyone else’s property. A lot of this discussion is driven by a desire for prosperity and prosperity can only come from the fruits of our labor staying with us. Otherwise, incentive to produce is reduced or eliminated. Socialist governments fail because we can’t fight human nature. The law exists because selfishness invariably impacts other people who deserve to keep what they’ve earned. To claim that our country is in danger because foreigners can take “our benefits” validates those benefits, and those benefits are more destructive than the invaders themselves. Among the benefits at risk are all the socialistic programs that are dragging this country down. Social Security has replaced a family structure where grandparents cared for the children of their working children. The children later cared for the grandparents. It worked fine. Family has more innate incentive to care for each other than the

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa - Garner-Hayfield-Ventura (GHV) High School was recently recognized as one of the top ten schools in the Class 2A division of the Bank Iowa Traveling Challenge Cup. GHV placed 7th in the Class 2A division with a total point score of 745. The Bank Iowa Traveling Challenge Cup, introduced in 2007, is a

statewide competition designed to recognize Iowa high school students for academic excellence and outstanding achievement during state competitions. Points are assigned for every activity in which a school reaches a state competition, advances in a state competition, receives Division 1 ratings and earns academic recognition from either the IHSAA,

It’s obvious when they’re continuing to reinvest in their own company.” “But I just don’t want to hear the good news,” she said. “I want to know if there are issues they are facing and how we can continue to be a partner to help them grow their business and stay in Iowa.

Kanawha High Shool Class of 1956 celebrates 60th reunion On Saturday evening, Sept. 3, 32 classmates, spouses and friends of the Kanawha High School class of 1956, gathered at the Cattlemens Restaurant in Belmond. They enjoyed a social hour, meal and a short musical program of 50s and 60s songs. The evening concluded with sharing their personal history over the past five years, special memories and taking pictures. Before parting, they decided to meet again in 2018 on Labor Day to watch the parade. There were 26 Seniors that graduated on May 23, 1956. Six of those

students were in school together for all 12 years. Thirteen other classmates did not graduate with the class, but attended some of the years. They are considered to be an important part of the class and memories. Five classmates and 3 friends are deceased. On Monday, Wayne Rietema provided a float for the 1956 classmates to ride on in the Kanawha Labor Day Parade. Following the parade, Deloris and Don Verbrugge invited classmates to their home to visit and share a meal.

GHV survives Indian upset attempt Heading into Friday night’s football game at Forest City, Cardinal fans had no reason to expect anything but success. Their fifth-ranked (AP) Cardinals appeared to be on a roll after a perfect start to the season. The Indians entered the game at 1 – 2 and really shouldn’t have presented too big of a challenged to the GHV squad. Those high expectations became high anxiety for Cardinal fans, especially late in the game as Forest City came dangerously close to pulling off an upset. It was apparent from the early minutes in the game that GHV was going to face a stiff challenge from the Indians. The Cards had relied on a powerful running attack through the first three weeks of the season, but Forest City’s defensive unit held GHV to very limited success in the first quarter. After going scoreless in the first period the Cardinals found the Indian goal line late in the second quarter on a 24-yard touchdown

Connor Burke kicked the extra point to give the Cards a 15-14 win. pass from Ryan Meyers to Nick off to the GHV 32-yard line. The IndiJoynt. Meyers then connected with ans took advantage of the short field, Conner Shaw for the two-point PAT, scoring six plays later on a three-yard scoring plunge. The two-point PAT giving GHV an 8 – 0 lead. The momentum shifted quickly as was successful, knotting the score at Forest City returned the ensuing kick- 8 – 8 as the first half came to a close. The Indian defense continued to contain GHV through the third quarter, essentially shutting down the Cardinal rushing attack. Fortunately GHV’s defensive unit was equally effective as

the Indians were also unable to take gain ground. The two teams continued to battle in the final period with Forest City appearing to get the upper hand late in the game. With just over three minutes remaining on the game clock, the Indians scored the go-ahead touchdown on a four-play drive that covered 54 yards. The PAT attempt failed, but Forest City appeared to be in the driver’s seat with a 14 – 8 lead late in the game. The sign of a good team is the ability to respond when the game is on the line and GHV did just that. The Cardinals answered with a six-play, 80-yard scoring drive that was capped on a 45yard touchdown pass from Meyers to Chase Theobald. With the score knotted at 14 – 14, Connor Burke added the game-winning PAT kick to give GHV a one-point lead. Forest City had one last chance to move downfield and pickup the upset, but the Cardinal defense rose to the occasion to seal the win. GHV’s normally potent running game was held to only 92 yards on the night. Conner Shaw led the way with 64 yards on 19 carries while Dylan Mahlstedt and Nick Joynt added 17

and 16 yards respectively. With the running game stymied, the Cardinal passing attack became critical. Meyers completed nine of 14 passes on the night for 153 yards. Joynt finished with four receptions for 64 yards followed by Theobald and Anthony Sherwood with two catches each for 52 and 23 yards respectively. Conner Shaw added a 14-yard reception to the effort. GHV’s defensive unit played a huge role in the victory as they spent considerable time on the field. Nick Joynt was credited with six solo tackles and five assists to lead the defensive charge. Grady Umbarger added six solos with four assists while Dan Whipple added two solos and six assists. Theobald and Meyers were each credited with four so-

los and an assist and Anthony Sherwood chipped in three solo tackles. Cardinal coach Scott Van Dusseldorp commented, “We were very happy to come out with a win. It felt good to know that we can throw the ball when we need to. This district is very tough all the way through. We will have to come ready to play every week. Next week we play Hampton. We can’t let their record fool us. They are a pretty good football team that will require very good preparation all week.â€? GHV will look to remain unbeaten this week as they return to their home field to host Hampton-Dumont.

Weiland, West Hancock throttle West Fork

By Landon Evanson Jordan Weiland scored four touchdowns and led a rushing attack that accumulated 429 yards on the ground as West Hancock thoroughly handled West Fork 61-6 at Bob Sanger Field on September 16. After West Fork (0-4) inexplicably went for it (and failed to convert) on fourth down at its own 28-yard line to open the game, each of West Hancock’s first two possessions ended with identical, 23-yard scoring scampers from Weiland as the Eagles leapt out to a 24-0 lead after just 12 minutes of play. Those early scores, however, proved just the beginning of a West Hancock onslaught that had the Eagles scoring on four of their six firsthalf possessions, which included a third tally from Weiland, this time from 38 yards out to build a commanding 32-6 lead at the break. For as convincing as the first half was for West Hancock (3-1), the second proved to be the exclamation point on its most lopsided victory of the season. Just two plays into the third quarter, Weiland broke free for a 79-yard scoring sprint as the assembled crowd erupted in approval. The run represented a season-high fourth touchdown for Weiland, and the senior halfback offered credit where credit was due. “(The offensive line) does a phenomenal job blocking. There’s a huge hole every time,� Weiland said. “They’re incredible and they honestly don’t get enough glory, but it’s all thanks to those guys. I can’t thank them enough.� Those holes were not just reserved for Weiland, who picked up 204 yards on 11 carries, but also Colton Francis, who ran for a season-high 123 yards and two touchdowns on 15 totes. Dylan Eckels and MaCoy Yeakel also combined for 76 yards on just five attempts. In fact, West Hancock finished the night with 38 carries for an aforementioned 429 yards, which the quick math will tell you average out to 11.2 yards per carry. Eckels and Yeakel were also involved in a separate pair of exciting plays in the third. With 2:29 left in the quarter, Eckels returned a punt 70 yards for a touchdown, while Yeakel practiced what coach Bob Sanger preaches. “We tell our guys that you run (opposing ball-carriers) down, I don’t

care if it’s on the one-yard line, but don’t you give up. Keep them out,� Sanger said. “I think we’ve got that instilled in our kids.� On West Fork’s initial possession of the third, quarterback Jarel Abergast connected with Jesse Chibambo on a cross pattern that had the sophomore receiver separating from the secondary and speeding toward the end zone. Yeakel, though, never gave up and tracked Chibambo down at the nineyard line after a 44-yard reception. Yeakel’s hustle paid off as West Hancock forced the Warhawks into four consecutive incomplete passes that gave the ball back to Eagles, who immediately capitalized on the turn of events with a series of big plays and found pay dirt once again. Francis unleashed a 39-yard run on first down, which was followed by a 17yard, lunging reception from Ben Eisenman, a 16-yard run from Eckels that put West Hancock at first and goal from the eight, and bookended the possession with Francis’ second touchdown. Kolby Goepel blocked a punt for a safety and freshman Tate Hagen scored his first varsity touchdown put the finishing touches on an exceptional team performance. “We wanted to play two halves and I think we did play two halves,� Sanger said. “We played for 48 minutes and I’m pretty happy about that.� The domination extended beyond gaudy offensive statistics, as Weiland led the Eagles with eight tackles, while Nick Hunt accounted for 5.5, Hunter Hagen had five and Nick Lemmon made 4.5 to go along with an interception. Despite a night that featured strong play on both sides of the ball, West Hancock’s legendary coach was already looking ahead to Week 5. “I feel good,� Sanger said “but next week’s going to be a really good test because Grundy Center’s pretty tough. We’ve just got to let them learn what it’s like to play close games now.� It’s a challenge welcomed by Weiland. “I’m excited. There’s not other way to put it, “Weiland said. “We live for games like these and I think as a team, we’re ready to prove ourselves.� West Hancock will travel to Grundy Center (3-1) on September 23.

West Hancock overpowers Bearcats

Landon Evanson | The Leader

Brigid Smith (3) and Brooke Anderson (9) go for the block against Newman Catholic on September 15.

Matches from September 8 & 10

By Landon Evanson In what coach Jennifer Hammer referred to as a “challenge both physically and mentally,” the West Hancock High School volleyball team were swept in three matches by Garner-Hayfield/Ventura (21-14, 21-13), Iowa Falls-Alden (21-5, 214) and West Fork (23-21, 21-3) at the Belmond-Klemme Tournament on September 10. Pitted against a trio of dominant teams from 2A and 3A, West Hancock started well, but faded soon after. “In our first match against Garner, we were able to show them our capability of play by coming out very strong,” Hammer said, but “our serve reception was a major key for us as our lead slipped away after our first set loss.” Due to the difficulties returning serve, West Hancock (1-7) struggled over its final two matches. “We were unable to make the necessary connections to play our opponents competitively throughout the remainder of the day,” Hammer said. “Our players allowed their frustrations to show and affect our play on the court.” Hammer feels that those obstacles

will improve with time. “With more experience and more confidence building experiences, our volleyball team will be able to overcome adversity and play through frustrations,” Hammer said. Faith Hammer led the way for the Eagles with nine assists, while Kaylee Hudspeth had nine kills and Ryann Hagen collected four digs. Brooke Anderson, Sydney Burgardt and Hagen combined to go 21-for-25 on serves with five aces.

NORTH IOWA

West Hancock was firing on all cylinders through the first 12 points of the match, “outhustling and out-hitting (North Iowa)” according to Hammer, but serve reception once again became an issue with the Bisons’ “excellent serving” as the Eagles fell in straight sets, 25-12, 25-6 and 25-7 on September 8. Hudspeth finished led West Hancock (1-4) with five digs, while Andi Robbins added four and Hagen, Anderson and Brigid Smith all contributed three. Serves were once again strong with Hagen, Anderson and Robbins teaming to go 12-for-13 with three aces.

By John Jensen GREENE – West Hancock opened the Class A, District 3 season with a bold statement Friday, rushing for more than 400 yards in a 38-6 victory over North Butler Friday at Dave Sturm Field in Greene. The Eagles (2-1 overall) welcomed starting fullback Colton Francis back to the fold after he missed the first two games and finished with 440 yards on the ground. Halfback Jordan Wieland had 243 of those yards, including scoring runs of 56 and 74 yards, while Francis ran for 119 yards and one touchdown. West Hancock threw the ball only twice in the game, with one of those going for a score. The Eagles punted the ball only once and might have scored even more points if not for seven fumbles (four lost), one of which led to the Bearcats’ only points. North Butler, meanwhile, could get nothing going on offense. The Bearcats had just four first downs and 43 yards of total offense. Sophomore Kane Allison struggled in his first start at quarterback in place of the injured Dalton Nelson. Though he completed 6-of-7 passes, only two of his completions went for positive yards. He finished with negative yards both passing and rushing on the night.

The Bearcats had just one turnover, though that miscue set the tone for the game. On the first snap from scrimmage, running back Brandon Trees lost control of the ball and West Hancock fell on it. Four plays later, West Hancock scored on a four-yard Bennett Bruns scoring run and a Wieland conversion run just 1 minute, 33 seconds into the game. West Hancock was on the scoreboard for a second time six minutes later. After the Eagle defense forced a North Butler punt, WH drove 57 yards on 10 plays, with the final 22 yards coming on quarterback Dylan Eckels’ lone completion of the night, a 22-yard completion to Caleb Eckels. The conversion pass made it 160. A pair of long Wieland scoring runs, the second with 21 seconds left in the half, made the halftime score 32-0. North Butler (1-2 overall, 0-1 in District 3) showed more life in the second half. Brandon Trees put the Bearcats on the scoreboard five minutes into the frame when he scooped up a D. Eckels fumble and raced 69 yards to the house. North Butler’s conversion run failed. Both teams return to District 3 action Friday, with the Bearcats playing at undefeated Saint Ansgar and West Hancock hosting West Fork.

W. Hancock 16 16 0 6 — 38 North Butler 0 0 6 0 — 6

By Landon Evanson In a match-up of volleyball teams seeking to end respective losing streaks, Newman Catholic was able to turn the trick with a 25-15, 25-14, 25-21 straight sets victory over West Hancock High School on September 15. Despite playing what head coach Jennifer Hammer referred to as ‘”three solid sets,” West Hancock (1-9) fell for the eighth consecutive match. Newman Catholic (2-10) leapt out to a 16-7 lead in the opening set, which had Hammer calling a timeout to speak with her team, but whatever she said worked. From that point until the conclusion of the set, the Eagles played the Knights evenly, 9-9, and looked to carry that momentum into the second stanza. West Hancock started strong, going up 3-0 early, but lost the next five points. From there it was a bit of back and forth, but after a huge block from Amanda Chizek brought the Eagles to within four at 12-8, the team just couldn’t maintain a rhythm. “With the exception of getting down in the middle of the second set, we did play through it and come out of it. We had more positive mentalities out on the floor tonight and it made a big, huge impact on our performance,” Hammer said. The final set was nip and tuck throughout, with aces from Brooke Anderson pulling the Eagles to within 17-14, Brigid Smith’s serve made it 18-17 and Faith Hammer’s resulted in a 23-21 deficit, but Newman Catholic tallied the next two points to close out the match and snap its four-match losing skid.

Sydney Burgardt led West Hancock with five kills and five blocks, Hammer delivered nine assists, and Ryann Hagen picked up four digs. Anderson , Chizek and Kaylee Hudspeth all added four kills, while Anderson notched eight assists. “It was a disappointment that we did not win,” coach Hammer said. “We made good connections tonight and it was a better hitting night than we’ve seen in a long time,” and continued “we were able to make those connections due to our passing.” West Hancock is off until September 24 when it will partake in a tournament in Dunkerton. With a full week to practice, coach Hammer may work with the team to switch to a 5-1 offense.

said. “We did go back to our original line-up that we had been using most of this season, so that was the comfort level there. That’s been a big struggle for us all season long, producing points because we don’t have a dominant hitter, we don’t have two dominant hitters like many of the other conference teams do.” Faith Hammer distributed six assists and picked up a pair of service aces for West Hancock, while Ryann Hagen had four digs, Kaylee Hudspeth delivered four kills and Brooke Anderson added three more. Following matches against what Hammer referred to as “outstanding” competition, the Eagles will square off with Newman Catholic on September 15. “We should be able to look at that as an uplifting positive,” Hammer said, because that should be “an even match-up.” Newman is 0-5 on the season. Hammer looks to continue working for her players to gain experience and confidence. “The match we won over Eagle Grove (August 30), we were a totally different team and we haven’t seen that team since that particular night,” Hammer said. “We’re hoping (the match with Newman) to be an opportunity to make a change, make a difference because we have to dig deep now and be bigger, better people and make a change for the betterment of the team.” West Hancock has lost seven consecutive matches.

FOREST CITY

The West Hancock High School volleyball team tried some new line-up configurations in its match against undefeated Forest City but were never able to get things on track, falling in three straight sets, 25-5, 25-8 and 25-11 on September 13. The Eagles were unable to register a service point in the first set, and despite jumping out to a 6-2 lead to open the set, Forest City (10-0) stormed back to win 23 of the next 25 points to go up 2-0. Though West Hancock (1-8) won five of seven points to pull within 19-10 and its 11 points were just two shy of its total from the first two sets, it was too little too late. “Tonight we were the weakest that we have been all season long,” West Hancock coach Jennifer Hammer

GHV Spikers fall at Lake Mills

It was a light week of volleyball action for the GHV Cardinal squad. With only one match on the schedule, the Cards were able to spend four days in the gym fine-tuning their game. Unfortunately, their only opponent of the week was TIC powerhouse Lake Mills. Facing the Bulldogs is always a challenge for every TIC team but meeting them on their home court makes the task even tougher. Lake Mills is currently unbeaten on the season and they maintained that status with a three-set sweep of GHV. The Cardinal offense had trouble getting on track as Lake Mills posted wins of 25 – 11, 25 – 10 and 25 – 12. Mackenzie Van Gerpen finished the night with four kills and nine digs. Carlie Knutson and Hannah Lau added three kills and seven digs each and Jacki Van Oort chipped in a kill with seven digs. Bailee Frayne was credited with seven assists in the match. Van Oort and Knutson were also perfect at the serve line in eight and five attempts respectively. Cardinal coach Kelsey Steffens commented, “We started off the season with strong, aggressive serves. One area we need to fine tune is our serving as that is taking us out of many opportunities throughout recent matches. On a positive note, we got some great touches on blocks and were able to clean up our defense.” The Cardinals are now 3 – 3 in conference play and 6 – 4 overall. They will host Eagle Grove on Tuesday and then compete in the Bishop Garrigan tournament on Saturday.

Don’t be late! Deadline for next week’s paper is Friday.

Smith, Dalbeck lead Cards at Ballard It may be a long bus ride, but GHV cross-country coach Jeff Short likes taking the Cardinal runners to Huxley each year. The meet is always a very competitive event that features many of the top runners from central Iowa.

Start the money conversation with young children By Sandra McKinnon and Laura Sternweis, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa - Adult money habits start to form as early as preschool, according to research by University of Cambridge. Media, parents and childcare providers play an important role in forming money habits in children. So give those preschoolers some pennies and start talking about money! That’s the advice of Sandra McKinnon, a human sciences specialist in family finance with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. “We know that adults, whether parents, grandparents or child care providers, have a great influence on young children,” McKinnon said. “Just as they learn to cross the street or tie their shoes, children learn important money lessons by watching the adults in their life earn, spend, save, share and borrow.” Many of these habits apply not only to financial well-being, but also to other areas of life. “Money management skills are life skills. Children need to learn to stop and think before they act, to wait for things they want and to follow directions,” McKinnon said. “Research shows that children are able to reach key milestones at different ages. That isn’t surprising. We learn to sit up, then crawl, then walk. When it comes to learn-

ing money skills, there are steps to take, too,” she said. Children from pre-K to second grade already are forming attitudes around saving and buying. They can count and sort coins, and they understand that people trade money for items they want or need. Parents can start the money conversation by having more interactions with their children. “Make a shopping list together. When you’re at the store, have your children count the items, mark items off the list and put items in the cart. Children also can help compare prices and products and help you stick to that shopping list,” McKinnon said. In addition, model positive attitudes. Children are good observers. They’ll notice whether adults roll their eyes and sigh when paying bills or show pride and a sense of

accomplishment. Reading with children is another way to teach them about money. “Children’s books about money can be fun to read, and reading together offers time to weave in your own experiences and lessons you want them to learn,” McKinnon said. Many young children spend time in child care. ISU Extension and Outreach human sciences specialists provide training for child care providers, such as “Munchkins and Moolah: Teaching Preschoolers to Share Save, and Spend” and “I Want! Building Good Consumers,” which focuses on the influence of media and advertising, McKinnon noted. Childcare providers may sign up for training via Iowa’s Child Care Provider Training Registry. “The Allowance Game” is available for free download from the Extension Store. Parents can use the game to help their children learn to make decisions about spending allowance money wisely. For more ideas, visit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Start the money conversation with young children By Sandra McKinnon and Laura Sternweis, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa - Adult money habits start to form as early as preschool, according to research by University of Cambridge. Media, parents and childcare providers play an important role in forming money habits in children. So give those preschoolers some pennies and start talking about money! That’s the advice of Sandra McKinnon, a human sciences specialist in family finance with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. “We know that adults, whether parents, grandparents or child care providers, have a great influence on

young children,” McKinnon said. “Just as they learn to cross the street or tie their shoes, children learn important money lessons by watching the adults in their life earn, spend, save, share and borrow.” Many of these habits apply not only to financial well-being, but also to other areas of life. “Money management skills are life skills. Children need to learn to stop and think before they act, to wait for things they want and to follow directions,” McKinnon said. “Research shows that children are able to reach key milestones at different ages. That isn’t surprising. We learn to sit up, then crawl, then walk. When it comes to learning money

skills, there are steps to take, too,” she said. Children from pre-K to second grade already are forming attitudes around saving and buying. They can count and sort coins, and they understand that people trade money for items they want or need. Parents can start the money conversation by having more interactions with their children. “Make a shopping list together. When you’re at the store, have your children count the items, mark items off the list and put items in the cart. Children also can help compare prices and products and help you stick to that shopping list,” McKinnon said. In addition, model positive atti-

tudes. Children are good observers. They’ll notice whether adults roll their eyes and sigh when paying bills or show pride and a sense of accomplishment. Reading with children is another way to teach them about money. “Children’s books about money can be fun to read, and reading together offers time to weave in your own experiences and lessons you want them to learn,” McKinnon said. Many young children spend time in child care. ISU Extension and Outreach human sciences specialists provide training for child care providers, such as “Munchkins and Moolah: Teaching Preschoolers to Share Save, and Spend” and “I Want! Building Good Consumers,” which focuses on the influence of media and advertising, McKinnon noted. Childcare providers may sign up for training via Iowa’s Child Care Provider Training Registry. “The Allowance Game” is available for free download from the Extension Store. Parents can use the game to help their children learn to make decisions about spending allowance money wisely. For more ideas, visit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Select educational resources and resources for parents to find free activities and conversation starters for children ages 3 to 5, as well as information for older children. MyMoney.gov has information for youth, teachers, other educators and researchers. The site also offers games, fun facts and activity ideas.

laughed. Eckels had owned a 1928 or ’29 Model A which he believed was a twodoor sedan roughly 65 years ago while he was in high school, but had to part with it shortly thereafter. “I had it for two or three months and then I busted it,” Eckels said. “So I sold it to another guy who fixed it up, then he sold it.” It’s become an ongoing joke ever since. “Every time we see each other we say, ‘Why did you sell that?’ and I say ‘I don’t know. Why did you sell it?” Eckels laughed. McLain noted that he’d owned a Model A for the past four years and that “It’s a lot of fun. A lot of fun.” It was the kind of fun not forgotten by the 78-year old Eckels. “Why didn’t I keep that car?”

Plenty to do at Britt Public Library Landon Evanson

hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom

Finding relaxing yet intellectually stimulating activities can be a challenge for both children and adults in today’s hectic world, but the Britt Public Library may have just what weary minds are looking for. Parents aren’t always home from work immediately after school, and want their children to partake in valuable endeavors that foster growth while also ensuring that their little ones are safe. The library’s Lego Club provides an outlet that ensures both. The club meets twice a month from 4 to 5 p.m. and caters to two age groups. The first gathering takes place on the second Monday of the month for third through fifth graders, while the second occurs on the fourth

Monday for kindergartners through second grade and helps to build teamwork and creativity. Participant numbers have varied with as many as fifteen, but even with smaller collections, as was the case on September 12 with six, they are divided into groups and given a task to work on together. The library purchased a large number of Legos for the program, present them to the groups in bins and let the imaginations of the children take over. “They have to create an environment and tell a story,” Britt Public Library Director Linda Friedow said. “Sometimes the plan is simpler for the younger group, but they usually come up with a pretty good story.” That would be an understatement. The last group of third through fifth graders who stopped in for the pro-

gram developed quite the elaborate tale that involved a squirrel sitting in his attorney’s office. In the story, the squirrel “(Was) very angry because people had been cutting down his trees so he had no place to get his nuts,” Friedow said. “So he was talking about what he could do about that.” Started in Garner by Hancock County, Friedow and the library had to work to convince the county extension office that the program should be expanded to Britt. “We were trying to convince (the county) that they really needed to offer the same programs (in Britt), so we started our own library Lego Club to show that there was an interest and get kids used to coming and doing that type of program.” And the reasoning behind it was simple. “We wanted to do something here to prove that there were kids in Britt who wanted to do it, and not just kids from Garner,” Friedow said. “A lot of kids want to do it but can’t get to Garner.” Now in its second year, the Lego Club is open to both boys and girls, requires no sign up and gets those children who participate excited for each session. “A lot of kids keep coming back,” Friedow said. “They’re usually here around 3:40 p.m., so they have 20 minutes to wait until Legos start.” Apart from the Lego gatherings, the library is also a resource for parents looking for wholesome activities for their children on those monthly occasions when school lets out two hours early. “We have been trying to plan something for those early out days because we get a lot of kids when school lets out early,” Friedow said. While the library has been hosting activities for quite some time, it was not until this September that they gave the festivities a name – B.L.A.S.T – which stands for Britt Library After School Time. The library tries a variety of things

Three local Methodist churches share interim pastors Rebecca Peter

gleadernews@qwestoffice.net Pastors Don and Cindy Morrison are the shared interim pastors of the United Methodist Churches at Klemme, Goodell and Thornton. The couple began their ministry July 1.Their contract runs through July 1, 2017. Don and Cindy are natives of Jamestown, N.D. where they were high school sweethearts. Don Morrison received his theological training at the School of Theology at Claremont, in California. Cindy Morrison received hers at St Paul Seminary in Kansas City. Don has been in the ministry for 34 years and Cindy for 24. “She entered the ministry ten years later than I,” said Don. “Our standing joke is that she saw me having too much fun in ministry and wanted to get in on it too.” Don retired from full-time ministry in 2015 and accepted an interim ministry position in Kingsley, Iowa for a year. Prior to Kingsley, Cindy was the United Methodist pastor at Belmond for four years and at Kanahwa/LuContinued from page 2b.

Pastors Don and Cindy Morrison Verne for eight years. Don served as pastor at the Clarion United Methodist for 12 years. He did a one-year interim pastorate on the island of Bermuda. Other Iowa communities they have served individually are: Laurel/Garwin, Primghar/Peterson, Bloomfield/ Drakesville, Fort Dodge and Keosauqua. “We have found that we work well together and being that both of us are

retired, serving these churches allows us each to serve half-time,” he said. “We are now able to stay engaged in ministry but not at the pace that each of us worked when we served larger churches on our own.” Serving three congregations has some challenges. “The obvious challenge in serving three churches is that it makes for a very busy Sunday morning,” said Don. “We start out each Sunday at Thornton with an 8:30 a.m. worship time, Klemme at 9:45 a.m. and Goodell at 11 a.m. We alternate Sundays preaching and alternate days at the office in Klemme and calling in Klemme and the other two communities on alternate days of the week. “Learning names is always a challenge when moving to a new community. It’s even more of a challenge when you have to place them in three different communities,” he noted. “Just as schools and farmer cooperatives in small communities struggle and learn to cooperate with each other to survive, so it is with churches.

John Dale Judd

John Dale Judd, 62, passed away on September 1, 2016, in Bella Vista, Arkansas. Services were earlier this month. John was born on June 30, 1954 in Schweinfurt, Germany. He was raised by his loving parents, Roland D. and Effie M. (Norvell) Judd. He was the husband of Polly (Olsen) Judd. John was a funny guy who was loved by everyone he met. He was always ready to help in whatever way he could. He enjoyed traveling with his family and visited all the popular national parks. He was an avid fan of the Beatles, which was the official music choice on all vacations. He was the favorite uncle and was dubbed a “second parent”. John was always ready to go out to eat, especially to a sushi restaurant, but would readily help with cleaning the kitchen when they ate at home. He was a skillful storyteller and talented singer. He was a great son and amazing husband. He will be missed by all. John is survived by his wife, Polly, of Bella Vista; mother, Effie Judd, of Bella Vista; uncle, Jimmie Dale Norvell, of Oklahoma; brother, Bruce A. Judd, of Oklahoma; mother-in-law, Joanne Olsen, of Clive, Iowa; nephew, Jeremy Christians, of Bentonville, Arkansas; nieces, Jenna Christians, of Bentonville, and Jacey Sakoff and Bret and their children, Madison, Emily and Jake, all of Missouri; brothers-in-law, Steve Christians and Rebecca, of Bentonville, Todd Olsen and Sandy of Texas, and Rich Olsen and Susan of Garner, Iowa; sister-in-law, Janet Meyne and Wayne, of Fort Dodge, Iowa; nieces, April Hicks, Abby Olsen and Tessa Depker; nephews, Luke and Nick Meyne and Jason Olsen and Jonathon Judd; and many great-nephews and nieces.

istry.” The church at Thornton used to be linked with the Methodist Church at Meservey, which closed this summer. “The three churches of Thornton, Klemme and Goodell are now looking at ways they can do things together in order that they can remain strong into the future,” he said. “Sometimes the hardest part of putting three churches together as one parish is adjusting to change. Changing worship times, changes in programs that have been done a certain way and at a certain time of the year forever, is hard,” he noted. “Thornton, Klemme and Goodell … have done very well in making things work that could have been very difficult. Cindy and I both commend them for that.” “We’ve enjoyed getting to know the people in the three communities and being involved in their ministries and programs.” On Sunday, Sept. 25, a joint worship service will be held 10:30 a.m. at Klemme to welcome the Morrisons.

Feel-Good Foods for Fall FAMILY FEATURES

C

risp mornings, cozy sweaters and a craving for comfort foods are all sure signs that autumn is in the air. No fall menu is complete without hearty, homestyle dishes that evoke feelings of well-being and warmth, and there’s no better way to capture the flavors of fall than with the season’s signature ingredient – apples. Serving up fall’s best feel-good foods doesn’t have to be hard. One clever solution: apple butter. Made from apples slow-simmered in kettles of sugar, apple cider and spices, apple butter is more than just a spread. It’s also a versatile ingredient that can enhance your favorite sweet and savory recipes. Made with American-grown apples in the classic Pennsylvania Dutch style, Musselman’s Apple Butter lends a unique taste to main dishes and desserts alike. While this one-pot dinner saves time on busy fall evenings, it also boasts a rich, tangy sauce that gets a special twist from the spice of apple butter. Fall is also the perfect time for creating beloved desserts, and whoopie pie is always a winning choice. This spiced up version of the traditional favorite draws its flavor from Musselman’s Apple Butter, with an old-fashioned taste that is the essence of comfort food. Find more feel-good recipes for fall at musselmans. com.

Slow Cooker Pork Loin with Vegetables

Spice Cake Whoopie Pies 1 box spice cake mix, dry 1 1/2 cups Musselman’s Apple Butter 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 eggs 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 3 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons milk 1 teaspoon vanilla Heat oven to 350 F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat liner. In large bowl, mix together dry cake mix, apple butter, oil and eggs until smooth. Let stand 3-4 minutes.

Spoon batter onto prepared baking sheet, one heaping, rounded tablespoon at a time. Space about 2 inches apart. Bake about 14 minutes and let cool completely. To make cream cheese frosting, beat together cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Add milk and vanilla, and beat another 1-2 minutes. Frost flat side of each “pie� half with frosting and place halves together. Store in sealed container in refrigerator. Note: Marshmallow creme can be substituted for cream cheese frosting.
