Britt council discuss asbestos, trick-or-treating Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom

Beggar’s Night and asbestos removal from a hotel that the city had purchased were among the topics discussed at the Britt City Council meeting on September 20.

The allotted time for children to go trick or treating was determined to be 5 to 7 p.m. on Monday, October 31. The council only recog-

nizes one night and in an effort to avoid conflict with church, school or sporting event, decided that Halloween night actually presented the best opportunity for this year.

The council also approved the removal of asbestos from the hotel that the city had purchased at 970 Highway 18 in the amount of $1,675. Bergo Environmental will handle the removal, with demolition scheduled for BRITT COUNCIL to page 2

Aspen Hills issues voluntary recall on no egg chocolate chip cookie dough GARNER – Aspen Hills, Inc., a manufacturer of frozen gourmet cookie dough located in Garner, issued a voluntary recall of its no egg chocolate chip cookie dough last week.

According to news reports, Texas-based Blue Bell Creameries issued a voluntary recall for ice cream products containing the cookie dough because of potential listeria concerns. Listeria is a food-borne illness caused by the bacteria Listeria monicytogenes.

“On September 20, we initiated a voluntary recall of a small quantity of our ‘No Egg Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 03-3014’ in response to reports from a single customer that it had detected the presence of Listeria in a handful of ingredient tests,” according to a statement from company spokesman Jon Austin.

“Even though our own product testing, conducted and certified by an independent lab, showed negative

results for Listeria and verified that the product was unadulterated when it left our production facility, we took this step – as well as the recall of an additional batch of product – out of an abundance of caution.”

“Since our founding almost 20 years ago, our first and highest priority has been – and remains – the safety and quality of our products.

We believe we have a strong safety program that uses industry-leading good manufacturing processes, a comprehensive HACCP plan and a rigorous regime of both product and environmental testing to ensure that every batch of every product we ship meets our customer’s standards… and our own. We will always err on the side of safety in matters such as this.”

Austin said the cookie dough used in ice cream is a different product line that the dough manufactured by the company for baking.

Aspen Hills has never had a product withdrawal for any reason prior to this one, he said.

Austin said that the product in question tested negative before it left the Garner facility in July and early August.

The positive listeria results were obtained by Blue Bell “only after our product had been in their control for almost two months. Even so, we undertook our own voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution while the investigation continues into Blue Bell’s situation.”

“What happened in the intervening two months while product was mostly in their control, is still the subject of some investigation,” he said during a phone interview on Thursday.

Austin said the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given the company the “green light” to continue operations.

The only customer affected was Blue Bell. There have been no reports or concerns from other customers, according to Austin.

Aspen Hills has been selling cookie dough products to Blue Bell since January.

Dear Community Members Harvest time is fast approaching, which for us means pulling out our combines and machinery and doing our best to feed the world.

Did you know that in Iowa there is an average of one farm vehicle public road crash per day? We want you to know that our aim is safety first, which includes obeying all traffic laws, coming to full stops, flasher use and giving cars the right of way. If this is ever not the case, please report it to us immediately.

Finally, we want to thank you for your patience with us on the roadway. We wish you a wonderful fall season and don’t hesitate to wave to your local farmer.

Although Garner was fortunate not to have to experience the severe flooding that other communities in North Iowa did last week, some street flooding did and reports of water in basements did occur during last week’s rain events.

According to the Iowa State University Weather Station in Kanawha, Hancock County received approximately 5 inches of rain from a period of Wednesday, Sept. 22 to Sunday, Sept. 25. The heaviest rain occurred on Thursday (2.79 inches) and Friday (1.70 inches).

The photos were taken along Cotton Drive and the Garner Golf Course on Thursday and Friday.

Several phone scams have trickled into the area recently, and the Britt Police Department offered insight with regard to what to look for to avoid being victimized.

Numerous area residents have reported complaints about calls from random numbers claiming to be the Internal Revenue Service or Publisher’s Clearing House among others, which includes one case where a community member sent money that was reported to the police on September 22. That case will be forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“These types of calls are not valid and people should not send any money,” Britt Police Chief Dan Cummings said. “Once money has been sent, it’s almost impossible to get back.”

Tactics utilized for the IRS scheme entail threatening calls that Cummings said are designed to “degrade and scare you that you are going to go to jail if you don’t send the money.”

Cummings noted that upon receiving a suspicious call, a Google search of that number should report back whether said number has been reported for spam or scams, but that the best course of action is to phone the police.

“Give us a call. Don’t send any money,” Cummings said. “Let us help you check it out. We’ll help you determine whether or not it’s valid.”

From the investigation Cummings BRITT COUNCIL from front this winter.

that if one were selling a car for $2,000 and a buyer sent a check for $5,000 and immediately informed the seller that their “secretary made a mistake,” ask that $2,500 be sent back while the seller keeps $500 for their trouble, it is likely a scam. The check will not be good and the bank will come after the seller to recoup the money, while the seller is also out their car.

“It’s very seldom that we’re able to track them down because the money is usually sent Western Union and they can pick it up anywhere,” Cummings said, and continued that often times it cannot be tracked through computers because transactions can be secured using dummy or burner phones which are disposed of after the fact, with accounts closed once the money has been received.

Cummings warned that area residents should not give out personal information such as credit card numbers, birth dates or Social Security numbers to suspicious callers because “they can assume your identity and take out credit cards with your good credit and your good name.”

Vigilance is the best approach.

“The bottom line is if something’s too good to be true, usually it is,” Cummings said. “These guys are professionals. This is what they do for a living,” and continued, “Remember, it’s almost impossible to win a lottery that you’ve never entered.”

If you receive a suspicious phone call, contact the Britt Police Department at 641-843-3822.

Due to the absence of councilper-

has done with regard to the Publisher’s Clearing House scam, the numbers seem to be based in Jamaica.

Cummings warned that callers will attempt to befriend those who engage in conversation with them by asking what they plan to do with the money and win victims’ confidence by “getting them dreaming,” only to then inform them that there are administrative fees that must be paid first. Once a victim has sent money, be it for customs tax, state tax or federal tax, they are asked to send more. All in the hopes of receiving additional monies for a payoff that will never come.

“Even when you win a jackpot at the casino, they take the taxes right off the top and give you the winnings,” Cummings said. “They don’t make you pay taxes first.” Cummings pointed to the fact that when one wins the Iowa Lottery, a check is not received for the full amount because taxes and fees are deducted before the winner receives the remaining amount.

“The telltales of this scheme is that they want you to send money for fees that could really be deducted before the prize,” Cummings said.

“This is not something new,” Cumming said. “It may be new to this area, but it’s not something new. You should never send money.”

Cummings revealed that the elderly are often targeted, but those who sell items on Craig’s List should also be wary of potential schemes when selling larger items such as vehicles.

Can some police records be forever sealed?

By Jason Clayworth The Des Moines Register Monica Speaks wants answers about her father’s death 30 years ago.

But like dozens of other Iowans this year, she was shut down by the Iowa Department of Public Safety.

The reason is a controversial and relatively recent interpretation of a 45-yearold Iowa law in which the department claims any document created or collected as part of an investigation can be considered confidential forever.

That includes records involving the apparent 1986 suicide in Oskaloosa of Rick Lynne Davis, Speaks’ father.

Davis was found shot to death in a car.

Speaks believes it’s possible the death was related to her father’s involvement in the drug trade.

The agency gave Speaks a synopsis of its work but refused her access to the records.

“It’s impossible. It’s literally impossible” to know without the records what was reviewed or investigated, Speaks said. “I’m not looking to arrest anybody. I just want to know what happened with my dad.”

The Department of Public Safety denied all or parts of 40 out of 59 record requests it received during the first six months of 2016, a Des Moines Register investigation found. And of the 40 denials, 28 were based on the investigative file exemption — regardless of whether the case is closed, remains under investigation or went cold three decades ago.

A spot check showed that local law enforcement agencies rarely use the same exemption. Des Moines police had no record of any requests it has denied citing that exemption in the first six months of 2016. The Polk County sheriff had two.

Des Moines Police Sgt. Paul Parizek said the department generally views most records as public once a case has closed.

“I know that school of thought exists,” Parizek said in reference to agencies that have decided to keep most investigative records off-limits to the public even when cases are closed.

“But we tend to take an approach in favor of transparency.”

Some of the other records DPS has denied: • A national group focused on privacy issues sought records showing how Iowa uses facial recognition technology. In that case, the state wouldn’t even acknowledge whether it has written policies or manuals about the matter.

• An attorney said a denied records request prevented him from checking what, if anything, the state agency reviewed before clearing a local police chief accused of unlawfully entering a residence.

• A journalist was denied access to case numbers assigned to criminal cases.

Public Safety Commissioner Roxann Ryan declined multiple requests for interviews about the records issues, initially referring questions to the Iowa Attorney General’s office. DPS spokesman Alex Murphy ultimately answered the questions, saying the department’s general policy is to withhold information related to investigations unless it fits the «immediate facts and circumstances» of a case, which Iowa law generally requires to be released.

Murphy also defended the agency’s decisions to release additional information in some cases but not others. He said those decisions are largely strategic and intended to help law enforcement investigate crimes.

“For each request, we review the specific facts and circumstances of the case to determine what, if anything, can be released,” Murphy wrote.

An evolving interpretation The idea that a public record reviewed or collected by an Iowa investigator can be considered forever confidential is a relatively new interpretation of the law, and one that some say is contrary to the intent and spirit of Iowa’s public records law.

“That exemption is intended to only be applicable if it is part of an ongoing investigation,” said Arthur Bonfield, a retired University of Iowa law professor who was the principal architect behind the state’s open meetings law in 1978 and has helped legislators write or modify numerous other public transparency measures. “It seems to me that once the investigation is no longer ongoing, that exemption is functionally

People are dying. Cities are burning.

So why are people still talking about these NFL National Anthem protests?

When I first heard about Colin Kaepernick and his quiet protest of the systematic violence against black people, I didn’t pay it much attention.

I don’t know what difference Kaepernick and his fellow players think they’re going to make by kneeling during the national anthem, but at least their intentions are good.

It’s also a safe bet that kneeling for a couple minutes during a song won’t degenerate into riots, so, as far as protest methods go, it has that going for it.

Apparently though, others seem to disagree.

Kaepernick has recently been voted as the most disliked player in the NFL. There is talk that the protests are causing ratings to drop for televised games.

People are boycotting teams. I’m sure on Facebook you’ve got at least one friend who has posted a list of teams that a sports bar has banned from their TV screens while the protest persists.

I feel that this would be an appropriate place to remind people that football is a sport where players often make the news when they are found beating their wives, children, or dogs.

At what point did a man quietly kneeling become a more outrageous offense?

The level of outrage generated by Kaepernick’s protest is utterly astounding. If I were to tell you that a religious fanatic got on a loudspeaker and announced to a cheering crowd that people who don’t participate in their nationalistic ceremony should be round up and shot, you might think I was talking about something happen-

ing in war torn Syria or Iraq.

Nope. That’s homegrown American “patriotism” straight out of Georgia, where a Southern Baptist pastor was announcing at a high school football game. The pastor has since claimed that his alleged statement was misquoted and taken out of context. Fair enough.

The bigger problem is, out of context or not, the number of people that agreed with it. In their defense of a song that has “For the land of the free” as a prominent lyric, these people are chomping at the bit for North Korea style state mandated patriotism.

Then you have Jeffery Bell, President of his local police Union in Miami, urging off-duty officers to not sign up to work security for NFL games, saying “I respect their right to have freedom of speech. However, in certain organizations and certain jobs you give up that right of your freedom of speech temporary while you serve that job or while you play in an NFL game.”

You give up your right to freedom of speech while playing in an NFL game.

An NFL game.

terminated.”

Some of the first notable examples of that interpretation arose in 2014, when the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation refused to release records in several cases in which people died after officers shocked them with 50,000-volt electrical weapons known as Tasers.

In another case that same year, Polk County District Court Judge Robert Blink ruled that the placement of a comma in the state’s open records law means that records that were once part of a law enforcement agency’s investigative files may remain confidential even after the investigation is concluded.

That ruling was prompted by Timothy Wayne Allen’s effort to review records pertaining to four Iowa homicides from the 1970s involving young women. Three of the four remain unsolved.

Allen, of Ankeny, argued that routine public records may be released if they are not part of an ongoing investigation, which he said had been a longtime practice under Iowa’s open records law.

But Blink said the comma’s placement in the statute’s wording means that only electronic mail and telephone billing records of law enforcement agencies must be released following the conclusion of an investigation.

“The initial phrase before the first comma, ‘peace officers’ investigative reports,’ is unqualified; thus, investigative reports are confidential without condition,” Blink ruled.

Allen, a former New Orleans homicide detective, said the FBI provided him dozens of documents on the Iowa cases after he filed a similar records request with that agency.

“If the FBI can provide me with responsive documents,” Allen said, “why can’t the DCI? (The Division of Criminal Investigation is part of the Public Safety department.) There’s something clearly fundamentally wrong in the way they are applying this exemption.”

Further court scrutiny Public record watchdogs are closely monitoring a case that involves the quest for records involving Autumn Steele, a 34-year-old mother accidentally shot and killed in front of her toddler by Burlington Police Officer Jesse Hill.

Hill was cleared of wrongdoing and returned to work about two months after the incident.

The family and the Burlington Hawk Eye newspaper have sought 911 call transcripts, emails and footage from police body and dashboard cameras.

The local agencies involved — including the Burlington police and the Des Moines County Attorney — claim they turned all their records over to the state, and therefore have no documents in their possession.

And the Division of Criminal Investigation claims those records are part

of its investigation and not among the immediate facts and circumstances required to be released under Iowa law.

All three agencies were charged with public record violations in a case being prosecuted by a public information board appointed by Gov. Terry Branstad. An administrative law judge is set to hear the case against the county attorney in October.

“Police tell a story and just expect the public to take their word for it. It’s unbelievable,” said Gina Colbert, Autumn Steele’s mother. “How does this happen in America?”

The judge and the comma

Iowa’s public records law lists 67 exemptions when records may be withheld. The investigative file exemption has historically been viewed to be applicable to ongoing cases and specifically to the report itself, not public records that were gathered as part of the investigation.

Here’s what the exemption says, and here’s how Polk County District Court Judge Robert Blink interpreted it in March 2014: Iowa Code 22.7: “The following public records shall be kept confidential, unless otherwise ordered by a court, by the lawful custodian of the records, or by another person duly authorized to release such information:” Iowa Code 22.7(5): “Peace officers’ investigative reports, and specific portion of electronic mail and telephone billing records of law enforcement agencies if that information is part of an ongoing investigation, except where disclosure is authorized elsewhere in this Code.

However, the date, time specific location, and immediate facts and circumstances surrounding a crime or incident shall not be kept confidential under this section, except in those unusual circumstances where disclosure would plainly and seriously jeopardize an investigation or pose a clear and present danger to the safety of an individual.”

BLINK’S RULING: The plain

reading of the law does not support the interpretation that investigative reports must be disclosed if they are not part of an ongoing investigation.

“The phrase ‘if that information is part of an ongoing investigation’ only modifies the immediately preceding phrase ‘specific portion of electronic mail and telephone billing records of law enforcement agencies.’ The initial phrase before the first comma, ‘[p]eace officers’ investigative reports,’ is unqualified; thus, investigative reports are confidential without condition.

So when is a good time to protest?

Now, I can understand there may be some professions out there where restricting somebody’s First Amendment rights may be appropriate. I can’t actually think of any outside of public service off the top of my head, but there’s probably something out there. I am, however, quite sure that “football player” is not among the professions where it is appropriate to suspend the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. I admit I’m not a constitutional scholar, but I am pretty certain that “unless you throw a ball for entertainment” isn’t written in the margins between the first and second amendment.

In fact, I’m relatively certain that there’s nothing in the Constitution about the NFL pre-game show at all.

Listen, I like football as much as the next guy (so long as the next guy doesn’t really follow football unless it

looks like the Steelers are going to the Super Bowl), but let’s get some perspective here. We are literally talking about a game played for entertainment.

It’s not a funeral. It’s not a coronation. It’s a sport.

When the Westboro Baptist Church holds up intentionally offensive signs at military funerals, we grit our teeth and remind ourselves that they have the right to free speech and that their existence serves as a reminder of how important that right is. Because no matter how offensive it is, the alternative is worse.

Yet, somehow, not participating in a superficial show of patriotism wedged between pre-game rock music and a bunch of dudes slamming into each other crosses the line for some people.

What bothers me most about this whole ordeal is the hypocritical vir-

tue signaling coming from those who protest the protest. After all, let’s not pretend that the people taking such offense at Kaepernick’s protest would themselves bother to stand up while watching the game in the comfort and privacy of their home.

One might be able to argue that kneeling during the national anthem is disrespectful, but there is no question that the reaction to that protest has been an even greater insult to this nation. By utilizing his rights to draw attention to an injustice, Kaepernick is performing his patriotic duty. It’s hard to say how effective he will ultimately be, but at least he’s trying to make a positive change in the country.

If anybody’s patriotism should be questioned, it’s the people who consider superficial lip-service more important than respecting this nation’s most important foundational philosophy.

– including the Garner Library – are accredited. Iowa’s accredited public libraries are recognized for being responsive to their communities and for exhibiting excellence in their provision of library services. More than two-thirds of all Iowans have active public library cards. Iowa libraries play key roles in workforce and economic development, lifelong learning and e-government activities.

Iowans use their libraries to find jobs, do homework, locate a good book to read, research medical conditions, access government information, and more.

Accredited libraries receive a higher rate of compensation through the State Library’s Enrich Iowa program. They also receive a Certificate of Accreditation signed by Governor Terry Branstad, Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds, State Librarian Michael Scott, and Iowa Commission of Libraries Chairperson Dale Vande Haar.

Orthel Jolly Workers 4-H Club prepare for the fair at their June 2016 meeting

The regular meeting of the Orthel Jolly Workers 4-H club was held on Friday June 3, 2016 at the Hancock County District Fair Grounds Britt, Iowa. Pre-meeting activities included Taylor Kluver speaking to members about the fun summer activities that were being held and the registration process for fair paperwork. In addition, Lynn Kluver from the Natural Resources and Conservation Services gave a presentation on wild flower seeding. Randy and Mel Hiscocks shared how the fairgrounds was purchased and the changes that have taken place since the original purchase.

President Cassie Engstler called the regular June meeting to order at 9pm.

The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Corina King. The roll Call was “Favorite Flower”. Minutes from the previous meeting were approved as read.

The secretary’s report was given by Alyssa Tegtmeyer. She reported a balance of $765.36.

Bills for $26.33 for pizza and $41.07 for groceries for an overnighter were handed in by DeEtta Kluver. Katey Tegtmeyer made a motion to pay and Heather Engstler seconded it. Sondra Lampe turned in a bill for $55.85 for the graduation gift. Katey Tegtmeyer made a motion to pay and Paige Kudej seconded it.

Under old Business, members discussed the “Mother-Daughter Spa Day” and decided to purchase a gift for the presenters. It was decided that the club would be purchasing a gift certificate to Whiskey Creek in Mason City in the amount of $25. Cornia King made the motion to purchase the cards and Heather Engstler seconded it.

The Food Drive that will be going on during fair week was a topic of discussion. It was decided that a goo-

gle doc would be created and every club would be asked to choose a time slot to help in the construction of the structure. The Fair Parade Challenge was the next topic. There was much discussion on what to do to get more clubs involved. It was decided that the officers would get to get together before the fair and print off some 4-H trivia onto cards that could be passed out during the parade route. The cards would have a pencil or a sucker attached. Each 4-H member that was involved in the parade, would receive a coupon to be used at the “Hancock County Snowmobile Club” ice cream stand, courtesy of the Orthel 4-H club.

It was decided that leader DeEtta would contact Dan Stromer to work out the details.

Under new business, members discussed the Summer Exploration workshops that were coming up. Members also discussed the “Spruce up days” and “set up day” at the fairgrounds and how 4-Her’s could earn tickets to “Night of all out Destruction” or next year’s registration fees. The club Achievement Show was discussed, to be held at the Britt Municipal Building on June 25 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

Projects would be judged on a first come, first serve basis. A motion was made by Heather Engstler and seconded by Katey Tegtmeyer to pay their judge $25 for helping them.

The next meeting was scheduled for Saturday August 27, at 5 p.m., at Lion’s Park, Britt for a county-wide family potluck.

The 4-H Pledge was led by Katey Tegtmeyer, and the meeting was adjourned. Members worked on scrap books and put together the egg bake for the morning breakfast. On Saturday morning, June 4, members planted flowers on the fairgrounds.

The regular August meeting of the Orthel Jolly Workers 4-H club was held on Sunday, August 28, at the Lions Park in Britt, following a county-wide family potluck.

President Cassie Engstler called the meeting to order at 6 p.m. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Heather Engstler. Roll Call was “Favorite Sport.” Minutes from the June meeting were approved as read. There was no Treasurers report.

Under old business, the Summer Exploration events were discussed.

Sondra reported that the food that was collected at the fair had been distributed to God’s Pantry and the Britt Food Bank. The club handed out 30 tickets for ice cream at the fair for participating in the Fair Parade Challenge.

Under new business, the club discussed an opportunity to serve food at a farm auction on Saturday, September 10. Each club family was asked to furnish a pan of bars and to provide concession stand workers. There would be two shifts: 8:30 a.m. until noon (including set-up) and noon until 3:30 p.m. (including tear down). Members discussed the fact that would have a limited amount of volunteers, so the leaders were to ask another club to help them out.

The next club meeting was scheduled for Saturday September 24, at the Kluver home with time to be determined. The 4-H Pledge was led by Anna Wirtjes, and the meeting was adjourned.

Orthel Jolly Workers 4-H Club August meeting held

Green as Andrea “Andy” Carmichael and Martha Plimpton as Stephanie “Stef” Steinbrenner. Adults starring as the criminal Fratelli family that pursues the Goonies are Anne Ramsey as Mama Fratelli; Joe Pantoliano as Francis Fratelli; Robert Davi as Jake Fratelli, and John Matuszak as “Sloth” Fratelli.

The classic family film was lovingly created by a stellar leadership team behind the camera. The original story, written by the great Steven Spielberg, was adapted into a screenplay by Chris Columbus. Columbus would go on to direct Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire and two of the Harry Potter movies.

Directing was Richard Donner, who also directed the Lethal Weapon movies, Maverick, Scrooged, and The Omen.

In his review dated Jan. 1, 1985, Roger Ebert wrote: “The Goonies” is a smooth mixture of the usual ingredients from Steven Spielberg action movies, made special because of the high-energy performances of the kids who have the adventures. It’s a fantastical story of buried pirate treasure, told with a sliceof-life approach that lets these kids use words Bogart didn’t know in “Casablanca”… More things happen in this movie than in six ordinary action films. There’s not just a thrill a minute; there’s a thrill, a laugh, a shock, and a special effect. The screenplay has all the kids talking all at once, all the time.”

Scherber shares travel experiences

On Monday evening, September 19, the Garner Progressive Club members were guests of the Klemme Potpourri Club at the Klemme library.

Special guest speaker for the evening was Connie Scherber from Clear Lake. She presented a very interesting program with pictures and adventures of her trip to Kathmandu, Nepal and Dubai United Arab Emirates. Connie shared her experiences in these two countries, comparing and illustrating the different lifestyles and living arrangements. Following the program, lunch was served and the ladies enjoyed visiting.

The Garner Progressive Club will begin the club year with their first meeting on October 3.

The website ParentalGuide.org recommends the movie for families with children ages 12 and up; it also reminds views that the unedited version contains “higher than normal foul language, especially in the first half hour of the movie.”

“Parents need to know that …kids are in peril, find a dead body, are being hunted by thieves who are after their treasure map, and fall into all kinds of trouble,” says CommonSenseMedia.org. It also warns about the use of stereotyping, some vulgar humor and swearing, saying the movie “may be too scary for some kids.”

Looking ahead, the Nov. 1 movie will be Addams Family Values followed by the original 1947 “Miracle on 34th Street,” starring Maureen O’Hara and the young Natalie Wood, on Dec. 6. Again, no admission is charged for these movies; instead, patrons are asked bring personal care and/or paper products for the local area food bank.

For the latest movie information, visit the Avery Theater’s Facebook page or its website: AveryTheater. org where patrons can download the monthly schedule and register for its newsletter to receive weekly updates by email.

Deadline for P.E.O scholarship is Nov. 1

The application deadline is approaching for the Norma Barz Voetberg P.E.O. Scholarship, administered

A tough little Belgian Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom

Most people are well into retirement at the age of 92, but Betty Anderson is not most people.

In fact, we could all stand to learn a thing or two from the Britt resident about what’s truly important in our hectic, daily whirlwind.

Anderson is quick with a smile, laughs often and adores doing things for other people.

Anderson is one of eight daughters born to Henry and Anna DeWeerdt on a farm in Britt, all of whom live within 33 miles of Anderson, save the baby of the family, 87-year old JoAnne Burress, who resides in Burnsville, Minnesota.

The oldest, 95-year old Marie Weiss lives in Mason City, followed by Josephine Barker (93) of Britt, Anna Lou Wille (89) who lives at Concord Care in Garner, Ramona Schmidt (87) of Summit House in Britt, Ida Floy (86) in Clear Lake and Louise Zrostlik (77) of Duncan.

When asked about the incredible genes and longevity of her sisters, Anderson laughed, “We’re tough little Belgians.”

It doesn’t take long to understand why neither Anderson nor her siblings ventured very far.

“I know a lot of people and I enjoy them, but my family is what I really enjoy,” Anderson said. “I’ve got kids everywhere,” she said with a laugh.

Anderson’s is a large family. From her parents down, Anderson is one of 260 relatives. Her sisters have produced 73 nieces and nephews, who have gone on to create 78 new members of the family.

Anderson said “We had 11 new babies and we had three weddings,” over the past year, “but we lost a brother-inlaw,” and added that she’d need to do a count on the constantly changing dynamics of her family.

Though Anderson was married to Orbin for 40 years, they “just didn’t have children.” Orbin Anderson passed in 1988 at the age of 88.

That has not slowed Betty Anderson in the slightest.

Anderson still works part-time at the Ewing Funeral Home in Britt, her employer for the past 35 years.

When Anderson started working for Roger Ewing in 1984, she was the only employee the company had.

“He didn’t even have an office girl,”

Betty Anderson

Anderson said. “I only went to the eighth grade, so I didn’t have any education, but (Roger) kept saying ‘You don’t need an education if you have common sense,’” Anderson laughs again.

After working for Artes Produce Station for 24 years, Anderson moved on to Britt Tech for the next 11 before injuring her back.

“I couldn’t do it anymore,” Anderson said. “I was walking up to the post office one day and as I went by the funeral home, Roger come out running and said ‘Would you consider working for me? I need help!” Once more, Anderson chuckled at the memory.

So began a relationship that has spanned more than three decades, and to Anderson, it feels less like work and more like family.

“I love it,” Anderson said. “They’re wonderful people to work for. You just can’t beat (the Ewings).”

And the familial atmosphere clearly goes both ways.

“Michael introduces me as his grandma, but I’m not,” Anderson laughs about Roger’s son, who now runs the business following his father’s retirement. “I took care of him when he was little.”

While Anderson concentrated on cleaning, she’d also handle visitations and some laminating or whatever else the company needed done, but notes that things change in the work world about every ten years, and “I don’t work with computers.”

When Anderson started with Ewing Funeral Home, “Roger would write up the obituary and we would take it up to the news tribune and they would print them for us. Then pretty soon he got a printer and I did learn to use that,” the ever-present smile and laugh emerged once again.

Though Anderson moved into a part-

time position ten years ago, she is rarely still.

“I like my garden, that’s my north 80,” Anderson laughed. “I grew up on the farm and I’m still a farmer. I’ve got a big raspberry patch, I make jam and I used to can 400 pints of vegetables and fruit every year besides work, but after you’re alone what do you need all that for? So, I quit canning two years ago.

I still make about 60 jars of jam every year and give them away at the family reunion,” Anderson said.

Her extensive family gets together every Christmas, but also each summer for a gathering of young and old. The jam is a big hit.

“Everybody’s waiting for them,” Anderson said with her customary laugh.

Anderson also sews and wrote a small book detailing the life of her family titled Stirring of the Heart: A Memoir in 2013.

“The farm I was born at is on the cover,” Anderson said. “I made 300 copies and gave them to family and friends.”

As you may have gathered, Anderson doesn’t focus on herself, but rather those she cares about.

Of the 220 potholders she has sewn to this point, she merely uses them as gifts.

“When people come to visit, I give them one,” Anderson said.

In fact, while this writer was speaking with Anderson, she went to retrieve a copy of her book and graciously presented a potholder with a smile.

Sewing is a hobby that Anderson enjoys, but chooses to keep for herself.

“I work with people at the funeral home and I enjoy them, but I don’t go out, I kind of like to work alone. I don’t know why, but I don’t like to be in a big bunch, a big group,” Anderson said.

“Everybody’s got their own ideas of what they want and that makes nervous.

I’m not an expert sewer, so I want to do what I can and feel good about it but not with a group because it wouldn’t be good enough for somebody else,” Anderson laughed again.

“I don’t try to compete with anybody.”

Anderson is content to spend her time producing items to be utilized and enjoyed, and with her ever-growing family.

“I had that little one here yesterday (September 20),” Anderson smilingly said as she pointed to a picture of her great-great niece Avery Stecker, who will be a year old in December.

“She’s just learning to crawl and it was so much fun to see her and she’d look at everything and get to it,” Anderson smiled. “I introduced her to her first doll, it was a baby doll, and she’d look at it and she’d pull it to her and give it a kiss. I think she thought it was real,” Anderson said with her usual laugh.

With a strong dedication to her family and a wealth of memories, Anderson in content with her work, her family and her life; a virtue inherited from her parents.

“We didn’t need a lot,” Anderson said reflecting on her childhood on the farm.

“In them days, kids didn’t have all the clothes and all the toys. Even myself (now), I have so much compared to what my parents ever had.”

It is clear that Anderson is thankful for everything, everyone and every moment that she has.

“I’m just glad that God let me see all these different times,” Anderson smiled.

With new memories being created every day, Anderson will continue smiling. And laughing.

Duffy Hudson portrays Edgar Allen Poe.

Award-winning one-man Edgar Allan Poe show coming to Britt Public Library Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom

“I choose to let things pop into my head rather than trying to figure things out because things will present themselves to you, and the things that present themselves to you are often times much better than the things that you try to figure out.”

Those words have guided actor Duffy Hudson on a life’s journey which has found him voted the best one-man show by the Los Angeles Daily News each of the past two years, and will have the stage man bringing his Edgar Allan Poe show to the Britt Public Library once again on October 13.

They’ve proven effective words to live by.

“The age of nine was a seminal year for me,” Hudson said during a telephone interview on September 20.

Hudson’s parents had both been stage actors in New York in the 1960s, which gave Hudson an understanding of what acting entailed. Coupled with his father’s love of Poe and frequent quotes from “The Raven,” it led to the first of a lifetime of epiphanies.

“One day I was going to play basketball with the fellas,” Hudson said.

“I’m nine years old and it was the strangest thing, I just stopped on the sidewalk and my brain kind of lit up.

I can still see it, it was like a light and it said ‘You want to be an actor when you grow up.’”

That self-revelation came out of nowhere, but suddenly Hudson found everything falling into place in his mind.

“That reasoning that came to me was that way you don’t have to be a barber like the next door neighbor’s father was, you don’t have to do the same thing every day,” Hudson said.

“You can be different people,” Hudson continued, “and that was the idea, you can always be doing something different.”

The notion lingered in the back of Hudson’s mind until he got to high school and became highly involved in theatre that he referred to as “quite addictive,” and it solidified the idea that “This is what (Hudson) should do.”

Though Hudson’s father passed when he was just a little boy in 1976,

that love of theatre and Poe remained “one of (Hudson’s) hauntings” and a driving force. “(Hudson’s father’s) career never went very far, but he was certainly a very dramatic fellow,’ Hudson said.

“I didn’t grow up in a show business family, but I grew up in a show business friendly family.”

One that had a love for Poe. “The way my father would say ‘nevermore,’ I understood, in a sense, not consciously but unconsciously, there was something to the language.”

Hudson had an LP with “The Telltale Heart” on one side and “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” on the flip side and “ran the grooves off the record.”

Hudson noted “I loved it,” and continued “I became a fan of Poe at a very young age, so when the time came to do a one-man show, Poe was the first thing that popped into my head.”

Along with reflections about his father.

“You think that your father dies young so he doesn’t leave you anything, but then I think maybe he left me this. He gave me a career,” Hudson said.

And then another “thing” presented itself.

About eight years ago, Hudson and a small crew of filmmakers traveled to a film festival in southeast Iowa called West Liberty to receive an award for Tattered Angels, a film that Hudson had written.

It was there that Hudson met the director of the festival, a woman named Janette McMahon, who also happened to be the director of the West Liberty Public Library.

“She found out that I did this oneman Poe show and she said ‘You should come to Iowa and do it at our library,’” Hudson said.

Though the actor had doubts that McMahon could afford to have Hudson fly to Iowa and put him up in room, McMahon quickly retorted “What if I got on the line and booked you ten shows?”

It was the beginning of a yearly trip to Iowa that has found Hudson play over 100 libraries throughout the state.

“That’s where it started for me in terms of touring libraries,” Hudson POE SHOW to page 19

West Hancock footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unsung heroes Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom

Strong second half pushes GHV past Hampton

After surviving last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-point decision at Forest City last week, GHV fans were hoping the narrow win would serve as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wake-up callâ&#x20AC;? for their Cardinal football team. That appeared to be the case on Friday against Hampton-Dumont as the Cards marched to the lead on their first possession of the game, but the Bulldogs rebounded to give GHV all they wanted in the first half. The Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; halftime meeting must have been productive as GHV completely dominated the second half, turning a 14-14 nail-biter at intermission into a 42-14 blowout in the end.

After holding the Bulldogs to threeand-out to start the game, GVH promptly marched 50 yards in four plays to score the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first touchdown. Dylan Mahlstedt rambled 35 yards to the goal line and Conner Burke added the PAT kick, giving GHV a 7 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0 lead in the early minutes of the game.

Hampton answered with an impressive drive to cut GHVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to 7 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 6 but the Cardinal offense produced again, this time on a 30-yard scoring pass from Ryan Meyers to Nick Joynt.

Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PAT kick extended the Cardinal advantage to 14 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 6 heading into the second quarter.

The Bulldogs continued to frustrate the Cardinal defense and midway through the second period scored their second touchdown of the night.

The two-point PAT knotted the score at 14 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 14, creating concern for Cardinal fans at intermission.

The Cardinals regained the lead midway through the third quarter after Connor Shaw capped a 48-yard nine-play drive on a one-yard touchdown plunge. Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kick brought the score to 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 14 at that point in the game. Cardinal fans were not only relieved to see their team back on top but were also encouraged by the defensive adjustments made at halftime.

GHV virtually shut down the Bulldog offense in the third quarter, allowing only 16 yards in that period.

The Cardinals turned a close game into a blowout with three fourth quarter touchdowns. Burke opened the period with a nine-yard scoring scamper followed by Meyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22-yard scoring pass to Shaw. Joynt added a third fourth-quarter touchdown to the board on a four-yard run, with Burke adding the PAT kick all three times. GHVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great defensive stand of the third quarter got even better in the final period

as the Bulldogs were held to negative yardage in that quarter.

GHV featured a balanced rushing attack in this game as Shaw led the way with 82 yards on 22 carries. Burke added 76 yards on seven carries followed

by Joynt with 59 yards on 12 carries and Mahlsted with 46 yards on five carries. Meyers completed five of 12 passes for 85 yards with Joynt, Shaw, Burke, Mahlstedt and Anthony Sherwood all on the receiving end of those completions.

Defensively, GHV allowed 158 firsthalf yards while holding the Bulldogs to 0 yards in the second half. Tucker Datema led the defensive unit with four solo tackles, three assists and a fumble recovery. Joynt also had four solos and three assists followed by Grady Umbarger with two solos and six assists.

Jack Van Dusseldorp added three solos and four assists and Burke was credited with three solos and two assists. Sherwood and Meyers each had a fumble recovery for the Cardinal defense.

Cardinal coach Scott Van Dusseldorp commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started off a little slow in the first half, but were able to make some adjustments at half time that worked out pretty well. The players came out hard in the second half and played a great game. I am very proud of how they took the adjustments and ran with them. Next week is Homecoming, so we need to be able to focus to prepare for a very tough and physical Clarion-Goldfield-Dows football team.â&#x20AC;?

As Coach Van Dusseldorp mentioned, it is homecoming week in Garner and fans never know what to expect from their football team in that game.

Sometimes the added excitement and school spirit motivates the players to perform their best while other times the added distractions can be counter productive. Cardinal fans will be hoping for the motivation element as their 5 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0 Cardinals host a very strong Cowboy squad.

Landon Evanson

hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom

Is there anything more impressive than facing off with a tough opponent that owns a three-game winning streak and soundly defeating them on the road?

Yes, accomplishing all of the above while not throwing a single pass.

The West Hancock High School football team ran the ball 55 times, surpassed the 400-yard plateau for the third consecutive game and led from start to finish in a 44-26 victory over Grundy Center on September 23. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt we were moving people around up front pretty good and we were able to keep the ball on the ground and that was a good deal for us,â&#x20AC;? West Hancock head coach Bob Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just felt if we kept the ball on the ground, kept getting first downs and beared down on defense weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get the most possessions, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we did.â&#x20AC;?

Playing in just his third game of the year, Colton Francis improved his rushing yardage for the third consecutive game as the fullback finished with season highs with 168 yards, three touchdowns and 31 carries.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a workhouse,â&#x20AC;? Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fullback in our offense is going to get the most touches, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the way it is. (Francis is) the right boy for doing that because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big kid and he pounds it at them. I think defenses get tired of tacklling him and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the process.â&#x20AC;?

Though Jordan Weiland failed to lead the team in rushing for the first time this season, he did rush for 100 yards (126) and score a touchdown

as he has in all five games this season. And in typical Weiland fashion, it was exciting to watch, as the senior halfback unleashed a 50-yard scoring sprint.

The thunder and lightning combination of Francis and Weiland werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only factors in West Hancockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (4-1) ground attack, because the stellar play of the offensive line opened up holes for quarterback Dylan Eckels, as well.

Eckels may not have thrown a pass, but he did accumulate 120 yards on nine totes, including a 52-yard run to pay dirt.

The backfield trio also proved effective on the other side of the ball.

Weiland recovered a fumble, Eckels snatched an interception and Francis recorded the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lone sack of the night.

Nick Hunt led the team with 12.5 tackles, with Weilandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight and Nick Lemmonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7.5 not far behind.

The Eagles never led by fewer than two touchdowns in an impressive display on both sides of the ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a wire-to-wire type of ballgame,â&#x20AC;? Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were starting to get a little tired toward the end, but (Grundy Center) were, too. (West Hancock) left it on the field, 48 minutes worth. I think every quarter we played pretty well on both sides.â&#x20AC;?

The Eagles have won four straight after losing their season-opener, and will host Newman Catholic for Homecoming on September 30. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a match-up Sanger wants his team to be ready for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After an emotional win like at Grundy Center,â&#x20AC;? Sanger continued â&#x20AC;&#x153;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be our goal this week. Make sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up and ready to go for the next Friday night.â&#x20AC;?

Landon Evanson | The Leader

West Hancock offensive linemen (left to right) Bryce Buren, Trey Hobscheidt, Glen Smith, Hunter Hagen and Nick Hunt.

A sentiment echoed by Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do our job, nothingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen with the ball and we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to score points to win the game,â&#x20AC;? the six-foot, 185-pound snapper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot to us and a lot to our running backs, we know that.â&#x20AC;?

Weiland has absolute confidence that when the play calls for him to get the ball, an alley will present itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guard I have pulling for me, I know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to hit that trap man hard and I know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a hole there for me. I see that hole and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hitting it hard and running my feet as fast as I can,â&#x20AC;? Weiland said.

Weiland scampered for touchdown runs of 23, 23, 38 and 79 yards in a 61-6 victory over West Fork on September 16 thanks to those holes, created through hours of hard work and preparation by the linemen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put in the work in the offseason and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to see the fruits of that,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We watch a lot of film and try to critique ourselves and make ourselves better, to learn from our mistakes,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said, continuing â&#x20AC;&#x153;They work in the weight room and do some specific footwork drills that are definitely helpful.â&#x20AC;?

The hard work, and praise are not lost on head coach Bob Sanger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Johnson) was an All-American lineman himself at Central College. I think he knows something about line

play,â&#x20AC;? Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of the hardest-working groups weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had.â&#x20AC;? Quite a statement from a coach who has been with West Hancock for nearly five decades and helmed innumerable conference championship teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our running backs are going nowhere without our offensive line doing the things that they are and our running backs understand that,â&#x20AC;? Sanger said.

The running game is not the only beneficiary of the offensive lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stellar play. Though the rushing attack is so strong that the Eagles rarely need to throw the ball, the aerial aspect of the offense has plenty of time to make plays, as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten sacked all year,â&#x20AC;? senior quarterback Dylan Eckels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have all the confidence in the world in my line. They give me enough time and I just dump the ball off for a gain.â&#x20AC;?

That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that Eckels doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t derive pleasure from watching the line go to work for the running backs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good feeling when (Weilandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) off to the races,â&#x20AC;? Eckels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get a lot of joy and it just shows how hard weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked and everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming together.â&#x20AC;?

Weiland noted that when it comes to the eye-popping numbers, the line should â&#x20AC;&#x153;probably get 80 percent of the glory, honestly.â&#x20AC;?

However, for want of a better term, that lack of recognition for the line

LEADER

THE

GHV linebacker, Anthony Sherwood, strips the Hampton Dumont quarterback of the ball and recovers the fumble during the Cards 42-14 win.

The offensive unit for the West Hancock High School football team has been posting some gaudy statistics during its current three-game winning streak.

Over that trio of games, the Eagles have averaged 47 points and 337 yards rushing with a margin of victory that stands at 39 points per contest.

The only word that comes close to describing such play would be dominant.

Such lofty numbers, however, require more than athletic playmakers at the skills positions; they begin and end with the offensive line.

West Hancockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is one of the best.

Senior running back Jordan Weiland has not rushed for less than 164 yards or scored fewer than two touchdowns in any of West Hancockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four games through September 21, but the standout runner has no doubt where that success comes from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, (the offensive line) is everything,â&#x20AC;? Weiland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know a lot of people praise running backs and quarterbacks for their performances, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the line and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thankful for those guys.â&#x20AC;?

The Eagles are averaging nine yards per carry as a team this season behind the efforts of senior left tackle Nick Hunt, junior left guard Hunter Hagen, senior center Glen Smith, senior right guard Trey Hobscheidt and senior right tackle Bryce Buren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our job to make sure (runners) have places to go and room to run and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge part of our offense,â&#x20AC;? Hunt said about an offense that has accumulated more than 400 yards on the ground in each of the past two games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all we worked for all summer long was so that we could make plays and have games like that. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about,â&#x20AC;? Hunt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been this way for a long time here,â&#x20AC;? offensive line coach Ryan Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go the way our offensive line goes and everybody gets it.â&#x20AC;?

doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t faze the five players who comprise it for a moment. They take satisfaction from a job well done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a team sport,â&#x20AC;? Hunt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All we really care about is that we get the win as a team, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest goal for the night.â&#x20AC;?

Smith took it a step further. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about stats or being in the paper, we just care about wins and putting (the ball) in the end zone and helping our teammates out,â&#x20AC;?

Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If (the running backs and quarterback) get the glory, then thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome. But if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter to us.â&#x20AC;?

Sanger alluded to the lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective desire to be the best they can be, but also from a maturity that has developed over the course of their high school careers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of these kids have played for a couple of years and I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a lot more mature their senior year than they were as sophomores,â&#x20AC;?

Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(As sophomores) they thought they had two more years left and it was different. Now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seniors and they say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, this is it. We better get it done.â&#x20AC;?

Though they have been incredibly successful early in the season, Johnson was hesitant to go too far too quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not special yet,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still pretty early, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of work to do. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to go that far,â&#x20AC;? Johnson chuckled.

Along the line though, the focus remains squarely on the next opponent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were satisfied with the way we played (on September 16). We thought we actually played a full game for the first time (this season), but we know there are a lot of things we can correct and get better on and just come this week and be ready for the game,â&#x20AC;? Smith said.

Johnson is understandably hesitant to utter the word special, but that dedication to the task at hand and devotion to their teammatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success however, are precisely why the offensive line is well on its way to earning that very adjective.

West Hanock cross country turns in a solid performance at Humboldt Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom

Austin Brown turned in a personal record time for the West Hancock High School cross country team at the Humboldt meet on September 16.

Running for the first year at the high school level, Brown was undaunted by the additional 1.1 miles required at the varsity level and finished with a time of 22:58.23.

Natalie Lemmon was not hindered by volleyball responsibilities and made her first varsity run, as well, turning in a time of 28:45.15, while Kaylee Hudspeth “improved her time considerably” according to head coach Holly Lang, at 25:03.08.

The middle schoolers also performed well, as Rachel Leerar improved her two-mile time to 15:00.76, Chance Eden set a personal record of 22:05.43 and Riley Eden crossed the finish line at 20:26.0 in his first race of the season.

Pushing for better race times were not the only obstacles for the Eagles at the meet.

“The challenge was the hilliness of the course,” Lang said. “They are used to running on hills, but it was also quite muggy from recent rains and I feel like they handled the course well, pushing through some pain in order to get through the run.”

For a team competing on its own for the first time, Lang is pleased with the make-up and performance of the team.

“I feel like they are doing really well. I couldn’t ask for a better group of kids,” Lang said. “(They are) willing to do whatever I ask during practices and encourage each other on during meets.” Lang feels that the current team are ‘great role models.”

“They are a great group for our younger kids to look up to,” Lang said.

West Hancock’s next meet will be on September 26 at the Garner Golf Course.

GHV girls race at Humboldt

GHV is fielding a fairly youthful squad on the girls’ side of the cross-country program and those runners are gaining some valuable experience that head coach Jeff Short hopes will pay off in the future. The Cardinal girls traveled to Humboldt on Monday where they competed well against some tough competition.

Mason City and Humboldt battled for the team title with the Mohawks gaining the final advantage 71 to 78.

GHV placed ninth out of 15 teams with 244 points.

Hannah Whelan led GHV by placing 26th in a personal record time of 23:07. Rebekah Larson was 42nd in 24:03 followed by Rachel Sokol in 55th place with a time of 24:55.

Sadie Oulman and Nicole Upmeyer placed 68th and 70th respectively with times of 25:32 and 25:47. Emma Whelan and Elixis Carrison completed the varsity roster, placing 78th and 81st overall with times of 26:27 and 26:38. Five of the seven varsity runners at Humboldt are sophomores.

GHV has had relatively small rosters in the junior varsity races to date this season, but that number grew slightly with five girls running for the Cards. Competing in the JV

race for GHV were Emily Howke (27:46), Hannah Wellik (28:24), Taylor Boggs (30:33), Leah Johnson (34:26) and Kayla Leerar (35:24).

Coach Short stated, “The team ran well on a tough course and the girls are progressing as Coach Albertson and myself were hoping. With the conference and regional meets just around the corner it’s great to see them working so hard.”

GHV was scheduled to host their annual race on Monday but that event has been postponed due to flooding at the golf course. The Cards only action of the week is now on Thursday at Hampton.

Team scores from the Humboldt meet follow.

GHV cross-country coach Jeff Short has come to expect winning efforts from his boys’ squad and the Cardinals did not disappoint at Humboldt last week. The Cardinals literally ran away from the field in that race, placing first with 54 points. Runner-up Humboldt was well behind with 98 points while Mason City was third with 100 points.

Reece Smith added another individual title to his resume as the sophomore standout won the race in 16:55.

Logan Dalbeck placed fifth with a time of 17:20 and Ray Cataldo also finished in the top ten, placing ninth in 17:53. Completing the team total were Austin Siegrist (21st, 18:29) and Derek Brown (22nd, 18:35). Also on the varsity roster were Andy Schruer (63rd, 20:12) and Tyler Obermann (74th, 20:32).

The Cards utilized their largest junior varsity of the season at Humboldt with 18 runners competing. On that list of racers were Nathan Larson (20:12), Mason Wirtz (20:21), Lucas Rayhons (21:14), Luke Brown (21:53), Matt Heinemann (21:59), Dalton Hawe (22:03), Patrick Carew (22:06), Austin Case (22:36), Andrew Dornbier (22:58), Drew Furst (23:51), Sam Childress (24:22), Keegan Clark (24:44), Jordan Upmeyer (24:50), Seth Miller

(25:32), Braden Hess (25:52), McKinley Hawe (25:58), Austin Mohlis (26:21) and Luke Hansen (26:26).

“The guys ran very well on a very tough course,” noted Short. “We’re getting to the most important part of the season and it is great to see the runners working so hard.”

GHV was scheduled to host their annual cross-country meet on Monday, but flooding at the golf course has forced postponement of that race. The Cards will be in action on Thursday at Hampton.

Leader

15a

Productive week for GHV spikers Signs of continued improvement by the GHV volleyball team have been evident all season and Cardinal coach Kelsey Steffens is no doubt pleased with the progress of her squad. The Cardinals opened the week with a three set sweep of Eagle Grove on Tuesday and then added four more wins to their record at Saturday’s Bishop Garrigan Tournament.

GHV may have been a little too relaxed on Tuesday against winless Eagle Grove. The first set was probably closer than it should have been with the Cardinals winning 25 – 21.

The margin grew to 25 – 18 in game two while the 25 – 14 win in the third set was no doubt more to Steffens’ liking.

Hannah Lau and Mackenzie Van Gerpen each collected 10 kills against the Eagles to lead GHV at the net. Van Gerpen added four ace serves in the win and Carlie Knutson picked up an impressive nine digs.

Bailee Frayne and Lydia Seelhammer were credited with 11 and 10 assists respectively while Jacki Van Oort was perfect at the serve line on a dozen attempts.

“It was a great night for all three teams as each earned a win Tuesday night,” noted Steffens. “Two areas we focus on with the varsity team is keeping our energy constant and running a quick offense. Our serve receive kept us out of both Tuesday night, so that has been our focus at practice in preparation for the Bishop Garrigan tournament.”

Garrigan’s tournament has always been a grueling day for all participants as the teams involved play six matches with very limited break time scheduled. The Cardinals opened the day against a Clarion-Goldfield squad that arrived ready to go. Clarion’s offense clicked as GHV sputtered in losses of 21-10 and 21 – 8.

Jacki Van Oort, Taylor Gerdes and Hannah Lau each recorded three kills while Mackenzie Van Gerpen

GHV’s Abby Kale makes a save during the Cards 3-0 win over Eagle Grove. scored two. Bailee Frayne finished with seven assists and Carlie Knutson was served perfectly in six attempts.

Lake Mills always seems to out-perform their opponents at Saturday tournaments and the Bulldogs handled GHV in that matchup. Lake Mills earned a pair of 21-10 victories against the Cards. Lau and Van Gerpen each scored four kills and Knutson added three. Lydia Seelhammer finished the match with nine assists and Van Oort chipped in four digs.

GHV regrouped after the opening pair of losses to pick up their first win of the day in their match against

Bishop Garrigan. The Cards prevailed 22 – 20 in the first set against their hosts and then used the momentum to post a 21 – 13 win in game two. Van Gerpen and Lau led the way with 11 and eight kills respectively with Knutson scoring four.

Frayne had an exceptional match recording 20 assists while picking up two aces on 12 of 12 serves. Lau and Knutson also played some great defense as the duo were credited with six digs each.

North Iowa had beaten the Cardinals in the season-opener TIC match last month, giving GHV motivation to upend the Bison. North Iowa pre-

vailed 21 – 17 in the first set but the Cards turned the tables in game two with a 21-17 win. GHV then got rolling on the way to a 15 – 4 win in the deciding set.

Lau added eight more kills to her resume while Van Gerpen and Knutson scored four and three respectively. Frayne was credited with 15 assists in the match while Bretta Carolus scored three aces on 14 of 14 serves. There was plenty of strong defensive effort displayed with Lau recording eight digs followed by Van Oort and Carolus with five apiece.

GHV found themselves in another competitive match as Manson Northwest Webster proved to be a worthy opponent. Manson gained the upper hand with a 21-17 win in the first set but GHV answered with a 21-16 win in game two. The deciding set was close all the way, with the Cards finishing on top 16 – 14.

Van Gerpen, Lau and Knutson led the offense with eight, six and three kills while Frayne tallied 15 assists.

Van Gerpen collected 10 digs while Knutson collected five and Van Oort finished with four. Knutson and Frayne were also tough at the serve line with six and five aces respectively.

After a long day on the court the Cardinals needed an easy match and Eagle Grove fulfilled that role.

GHV cruised to a 21-9 first-set win against the Eagles and then finished the day’s action with a 21 – 6 win in game two. Van Gerpen and Lau scored six and five kills and Frayne recorded nine assists. Frayne and Van Oort led GHV in serving with five and four aces.

“After starting the tournament 0-2, our focus turned to serving and pursuing every ball,” remarked Steffens.

“The girls were able turn the day around and work together to maintain our energy and finish the day 4-2.”

Coach Steffens noted that heading into the day Hannah Lau was sec-

ond in career kills with 731. Emily Mathews was GHV’s kill leader in the Cardinal record book with 749 and Hannah surpassed that effort on Saturday. Her 34 kills on the day put her in that top spot with 765. Mackenzie Van Gerpen is not far behind

and ranks third overall with 629 kills.

The Cardinals are now 4-3 in TIC play and 11- 6 overall and have one match on the schedule this week, a non-conference trip to Hampton.

Eagles end losing streak Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom

After a week of practice to prepare, the West Hancock High School volleyball team took the floor for a tournament in Dunkerton and brought its twelve-match losing streak to an end.

Dropping each of the first four matches, two of which West Hancock (2-13) coach Jennifer Hammer felt would have been won had the Eagles had their full compliment of players (some were unable to make the trip for the tournament), West Hancock finished the day strong.

“We were able to have one successful match to end our day, plus we gained a large amount of needed court time,” Hammer said. “It is quite difficult to be in game mode after one whole week of practice only, so we took advantage of this opportunity.”

Due to the inability of some roster members to attend the tournament, the Eagles had “new faces in new positions” according to Hammer, but had two matches that would have been won with a full compliment of players.

Falling to Turkey Valley in a pair of 21-15 results, Hammer noted “This was a close contest,” and continued “I’m confident that we would have beaten this team if our regular team was playing.”

Later, West Hancock fell to Van

Buren 21-14 and 21-13, to which Hammer again acknowledged “another good contest,” and “Ditto with the potential of beating this team.”

The other two matches found the Eagles losing to host Dunkerton 21-7 and 21-11, as well as Clear Creek-Amana 21-4 and 21-11.

West Hancock continues to work on return of serve, but the absence of several regulars only enhanced that challenge.

“We had a difficult time serve receiving and attacking today,” Hammer said. “Our inconsistencies in the passing department are rather frustrating as this is an aspect we work on constantly.”

Hammer pointed to Sydney Zamago and Marissa Eekhoff as a tandem of players who stepped up in the absence of regulars. Zamago performed as the Librero and Eekhoff started after thinking she would only be tracking stats. Eekhoff played in place of Brooke Anderson, who was unable to make the tournament.

Eekhoff had an 11-point serving run against Van Buren, but was not alone with regard to statistical contribution. Faith Hammer finished the day with 18 assists, while Kaylee Hudspeth paced the team with 10 kills, followed by Sydney Burgardt’s seven and Amanda Chizek’s six.

West Hancock will travel to Belmond-Klemme on September 27.

Upmeyer releases information on Iowa legislative page program DES MOINES, Iowa – Speaker Linda Upmeyer (R-Clear Lake) has released information on the Iowa legislative page program. Each year the Iowa House of Representatives and the Iowa Senate employ Iowa high school juniors and seniors to serve as pages for the legislative session that begins on Monday, January 9, 2017.

Duties of the House and Senate pages vary slightly, but they generally provide valuable assistance to representatives or senators and staff.

Tasks include running the chamber switchboard, delivering messages, distributing legislation, assisting committee chairpersons and sorting

amendments. Pages are paid, and many schools offer class credit for a student’s work in the Legislature.

Upmeyer is encouraging local students to apply for the 2017 Page program. “The legislative page program is a great way for high school students to see their state government in action. I hope area students will apply to serve as Legislative pages next session,” said Upmeyer.

The application for the 2017 Legislative page program is due no later than Friday, October 7, 2016. To see more information or fill out an application, visit:https://www.legis.iowa. gov/agencies/careers/page.

HCHS expands ultrasound service

BRITT - Hancock County Health System’s radiology department has expanded the hours it provides ultrasound services, giving patients fulltime access. A certified sonographer is now on-site at Hancock County Memorial Hospital, Britt, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

“We are extremely excited to offer this level of quality service on a consistent basis,” said Jami Hagen, director, HCHS Radiology Services.

Benefits to the patients and their families, Hagen said, include receiving services close to home, eliminating the need to travel outside the area.

Certified technicians will be providing the service, ensuring the highest quality of care.

HCHS’s certified sonographer is Amanda Pappas. Pappas comes to HCHS from Mercy Medical Center – North Iowa where she had been employed for 12 years as a sonographer.

“We are certain she will be a great addition to our team here at HCHS,” Hagen said.

Health care professionals use ultrasounds to view the heart, blood ves-

Jami Hagen sels, kidneys, liver and other organs.

They also use it during pregnancy to view the fetus. Ultrasound examinations can help diagnose a variety of conditions and assess organ damage following illness and, at times, is used to detect and treat soft-tissue injuries.

To access HCHS’s radiology department, call 641-843-5190.

By Lori Hayungs, Barbara Dunn Swanson and Laura Sternweis, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa – Teenagers may view getting a job simply as a way to earn money, and that’s a valid reason to work. However, employment may bring additional benefits to teens and perhaps a few concerns for their parents, say the Science of Parenting bloggers from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

“Teens who have earnings from a part time job can learn how to save and budget their money.

This is important, because money management is an essential life skill,” said Lori Hayungs, a human sciences specialist in family life.

“Research shows that youth also learn responsibility and gain time management, record keeping and social skills from being employed,” Hayungs said. “But parents may worry that teens who take on a part time job may let their school work slip.”

To ease that concern, Hayungs pointed to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which notes several studies indicating a positive relationship between working 20 or fewer hours per week and higher levels of subsequent educational attainment.

“Today’s teens need educational and work experiences that will enable them to compete for jobs, excel academically and live healthy lives,” added Barbara Dunn Swanson, also a human sciences specialist in family life.

Swanson shared statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor showing that 50 percent of American teenagers are employed informally by age 12, doing jobs such as babysitting or yard work. Nearly two-thirds of American teens have been employed in some way by age 15. By the time they graduate from high school, 80 percent of teens will have been employed part-time at some point during the school year. The average high school student works 20 hours per week, and about 10 percent work 35 or more hours per week.

University of Virginia researcher Christopher Ruhm and Charles Baum from Middle Tennessee State University found evidence that working part-time as a high school senior leads to future career benefits, including higher hourly wages, increased annual earnings and less time spent without employment. This holds true not only in the short-term after graduation, but also 25 to 30 years later, as shown for individuals now in their

While getting vaccinated against the flu is an important step in remaining healthy this flu season, here are other tips to avoid getting sick.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Stay home when you are sick to avoid spreading viruses that cause the cold or flu.

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then immediately throw the tissue away. If you don’t have a tissue, cough into the sleeve of your shirt.

• Wash your hands often with soap

40s and 50s, Swanson noted.

Clear Lake Bank & Trust named a top Iowa workplace for 6th consecutive year CLEAR LAKE, IA – Clear Lake Bank & Trust Company has been awarded a 2016 Top Workplaces honor by the Des Moines Register. It is one of only 10 companies in the state to have been named to the list annually since the award’s inception.

The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a research firm specializing in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace

culture were measured including alignment, execution and connection, to name a few.

“We devote a significant amount of energy into our hiring process, which is reflected in the outstanding talent we employ,” Mark Hewitt, president and CEO, Clear Lake Bank & Trust Company, said. “This award is a celebration for everyone in our organization, and I am thankful for their continued support of the bank and each other.”

Clear Lake Bank & Trust is a family

owned bank established in 1934 with four locations in Clear Lake, Garner, and Mason City. WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, headquartered in Exton, PA, WorkplaceDynamics specializes in employee feedback surveys and workplace improvement. WorkplaceDynamics is a founding B Corporation member, a coalition of organizations leading a global movement to redefine success in business by offering a positive vision of a better way to do business.

MaxYield Cooperative receives 2016 Top Workplaces in Iowa award WEST BEND, Iowa - MaxYield Cooperative has been awarded a 2016 Top Workplaces honor by the Des Moines Register. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including alignment, execution and connection, just to name a few.

“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest, and oftentimes people assume it’s all about fancy perks

and benefits.” says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health, and who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together.”

Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top

Workplace.”

MaxYield Cooperative invests in its team members through internships and trainee programs, said MaxYield CEO Keith Heim. “We also invest heavily in our team and their well-being through education, training, wellness and industry-recognized safety programs.”

“We are proud to receive this honor as a top Iowa workplace for the second time,” Heim went on to say.

“Once again, a very large percentage of our team members responded to the survey, and we are again excited that they overwhelming said MaxYield is a great place to work.”

Carol Laubenthal, Algona client care leader, presents Bernie Becker with a contribution to Hunting with Heroes. The contribution pays the airfare to fly soldiers to Iowa for a weekend of hunting in November.

MaxYield provides airfare Sixth annual Hunting with Heroes banquet Nov. 13 Bernie Becker, co-founder of Hunting with Heroes, recently accepted a contribution totaling $2,500 from MaxYield Cooperative.

Hunting with Heroes provides a weekend of pheasant hunting at several farms near Lakota to injured active-duty U.S. Marines from the Wounded Warrior Battalion at Camp Lejeune, N.C. “MaxYield has been one of our original donors, and has always asked what they can do,” said Becker. “Airfare is a big expense, and they have covered it each year. We are so grateful to them for thinking of our wounded heroes and making their travel here possible.”

The contribution from MaxYield Cooperative will pay the airfare to fly the Marines to Iowa for the event, which is held each November during Veteran’s Day weekend. The weekend concludes with a Veterans Appreciation Banquet Sunday, Nov. 13, held at the Lakota Eagle Center. This is the sixth year for the event.

“The doors open at 4:45 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 13,” said Becker. “We

encourage all veterans, surviving spouses of veterans and our sponsors to attend this event. We do need to know how much food to prepare, so we ask that those attending contact us early.”

To RSVP for the event, contact Cathy Kelly at 515-538-0572 or Denny Murra at 641-562-2198.

All area veterans, their spouses or surviving spouses are invited to the banquet, which is a free event thanks to the support of several sponsors.

During the banquet, the Marines from Camp Lejeune will be introduced, and a program where gift cards are given to widows and widowers of veterans and veterans will be eligible for a free raffle of a Henry Golden Boy rifle.

“MaxYield has been involved with Hunting with Heroes since its inception and we continue to be a proud supporter of this event,” stated Chad Meyer, MaxYield client relations and communications leader. “The benefit Hunting with Heroes provides the soldiers who visit Iowa is amazing and humbling. The recognition and appreciation our local veterans, spouses and widows receive during the banquet makes this event secondto-none.”

“I’m excited, happy and look forward to being part of a team that continues to do what is right for adding value to our soybeans and how that relates to policy, the environment and all the things farmers deal with on a daily basis,” Renner said. “I’m looking forward to working on the policy side to help shape and plan the next farm bill. Additionally, my involvement in my area watershed led me to ISA and I’m looking forward to continuing to facilitate and help improve water quality.”

Renner will participate as a board member in the ISA Policy Conference in December and be officially seated during the January meeting of the 22-member board.

POE SHOW from page 5 said.

The Cincinnati native identifies with the Midwestern mentality, considers himself “one of them” and a big factor with regard to why he continues to return to Iowa despite tremendous success in the bustling entertainment world of Los Angeles.

“Every year at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, they have an Edgar Allan Poe night where some of the greatest magicians in the world show up and do their best ten minutes, including Pendragons,” Hudson said.

The tricks performed are given a Poe twist to the delight of the crowd, but the show always wraps with Hudson taking the stage to perform “The Telltale Heart.”

For the past decade, Hudson has followed some of the most celebrated magic acts the field has to offer, yet Hudson is the only act in the event’s history to have ever received a standing ovation.

“And I get a standing ovation every year,” Hudson said.

Which brings us back to one more account of a “thing” presenting itself.

On Hudson’s first trip to Britt eight years ago, he proved that whether it be the sprawling metropolis of L.A. or a quaint town like Britt, traffic can sometimes just leap out at you.

“I’m driving down the street and I can’t quite remember if this lady

walked out in front of me or I wasn’t paying attention, but I think it might have been both,” Hudson recounted.

“All of a sudden, I’m slamming on my brakes and there’s this woman standing in the middle of the street. She’s looking at me and I’m looking at her. She was flustered and I was flustered, and she moved on.

I kind of laughed at it, thinking I was glad that I didn’t hit that lady. Then that evening I’m doing my show and there’s that lady sitting in the audience.

She came up to me after the show and

we spoke for just a moment and I apologized for almost hitting her and she apologized for running out in the middle of traffic.

Traffic in Britt, Iowa, right? I mean, she was the only person within a hundred yards,” Hudson said.

Each time Hudson has returned to perform at the Britt Public Library, however, for Poe and twice for “A Christmas Carol,” that same woman has been there.

It has proven a recurring theme.

“Every time I go, there are more and

more people in the audience,” Hudson said. “It’s just more and more packed.”

While most of that is due to Hudson’s unique and notable talent, Hudson feels that some of it may have to do with Britt Public Library director Linda Friedow.

“Linda gets the word out, but the last time I was in Britt, there was a sandwich board out in front of the library and it just said ‘DUFFY’S BACK!’ The sign led to another moment of realization for Hudson.

“I just remember thinking, ‘Wow, I’ve made it in Britt, Iowa.’”
