County studies merging Hancock emergency dispatch with Winnebago Rebecca Peter
gleadernews@qwestoffice.net GARNER – Hancock County supervisors learned last week that consolidating emergency dispatch services and the jail with Winnebago County could have an estimated cost savings of about $100,000. Winnebago County is building a new Public Safety Center at Forest City. “There are a lot of variables that
might make that number increase or decrease,” according to Andy Buffington, Emergency Management Director for Hancock and Winnebago County. “The end goal, other than just saving money, would be to offer a higher level of service. In this scenario we would likely have two operators on duty at all times which takes a lot of burden off the demands on a single person during a critical event.” Hancock County currently employs six full-time and two part-time
dispatchers. Winnebago County has 5 full-time dispatchers and one parttime. Dispatchers at both counties occasionally have jail duties when a jailer is not available. Buffington noted if the communications center moves to Forest City, the Hancock County Sheriff would either have to move the inmates at Hancock County or hire additional staff to cover those times where dispatchers filled that role.

Britt council discusses sidewalk repair Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom
Sidewalk repair and sump pump testing were among the topics discussed at the Britt City Council meeting on October 4. The sidewalks were delayed from the last meeting because councilman Paul Verbrugge, who is in charge of sidewalks, was unable to attend the September 20 meeting. The council continues to discuss the matter because “there are some sidewalks that need to be repaired” due to tree roots
pushing them up among other things, according to councilman Dwight Leerar. “We want to stay with our repair program to fix what we’ve got,” Leerar said, as opposed to full replacements, though the council still needs to determine it that will be the case in certain areas. The city will also be conducting a sump pump test to determine whether there are any homes with sump pumps illegally dumping into the sanitary sewer, which may involve smoke. The council also granted permis-
sion to BIDCO to negotiate with any contacts or bidders for the Burgardt property where the motel approved for demolition sits. Though BIDCO can negotiate on the city’s behalf, the city maintains final say on any deals struck. Finally, the city logo will be changed in the near future. “The symbol we had we’ve had forever,” Leerar said. “We thought it was time for a change, make it look a little more modern.” Though some final details need to be worked out, the logo will contain images of cotton, a hobo and a horse-drawn plow.

The nasty storm that hit the area the week of September 25 did some damage to the solar-powered traffic warning sign at the intersection of Highway

Though the repairs and replacement took place immediately, it was done through the utilization of the back-up pole, which left the city in need of a new spare for the flashing beacon. LIGHTS to page 11

Prairie Energy Cooperative celebrates National Co-op Month Being part of a cooperative means being part of something special. Prairie Energy is celebrating National Cooperative Month in October, along with 40,000 other cooperative businesses serving more than 120 million people nationwide. “Cooperatives Build” is the theme of this year’s National Cooperative Month. “This year’s theme is excellent, because there are so many ways that cooperatives help to build a stronger rural America,” says Prairie Energy Cooperative Executive VP/GM Becky Bradburn. “Our cooperative had approximately $23 million in sales last year, with most of those dollars being returned either to our members or reinvested in the co-op. Those dollars circulate close to home, helping to strengthen the local economy.”
Co-ops Vote is a non-partisan project of America’s Electric Cooperatives designed to inform its members on the key issues facing electric co-ops and encourage them to vote and support their coops and the communities they serve when they go to the polls. We do not endorse or recommend any candidates for election. During the 2012 Presidential election cycle, there was an 18% drop in voter turnout in rural areas -- more than twice the drop in urban and suburban parts of the country. Rural Voter Turnout Drops 18% in 2012, by Bill Bishop and Roberto Gallardo, November 29, 2012. http://www.dailyyonder.com/rural-voter-turnoutdrops-18-2012/2012/11/29/5514/
Cooperatives Build Trust Most co-ops strive to adhere to seven key cooperative principles, which combine to help build trust between the co-op, its members and the community. For example, the first principle is Voluntary and Open Membership, which means that we are a voluntary organization open to all people to use our services and willing to accept the responsibility of membership. The second principle, Democratic Member Control, gives members a voice in the cooperative’s policies and decisions. Through the fifth principle, Education, Training and Information, we enable members to contribute to the development of our cooperative.
Cooperatives Build Community The seventh cooperative principle is Concern for Community. Cooperatives work for the sustainable development of their communities through employee involvement in local organizations, through charitable contributions to community efforts and through support for schools.
Cooperatives Build Jobs Cooperatives generate jobs in their communities, keep profits local and pay local taxes to help support community services. Cooperatives often take part in community improvement programs, ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to benefit from the cooperative experience.

What are the risk factors of breast cancer? There are several risk factors for breast cancer, including those that involve genetics, lifestyle choices and general body composition. Here are just some risk factors: • Aging: On average, women over 60 are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer. • Gender: Although nearly 2000 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer each year, breast cancer is more common in women. • Family history: Having a family history of breast cancer, particularly women with a mother, sister or daughter who has or has had breast cancer, may double the risk. • Inherited factors: Some inherited genetic mutations may increase your breast cancer risks. Mutations on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are the most common inherited causes. • Obesity: Weight gain during adulthood and excess body fat around the waist may also play a role. • Not having children: Women who have had no children or who were pregnant later in life (over age 35)
may have a greater risk of developing breast cancer. • High breast density: Women with less fatty tissue and more glandular and fibrous tissue may be at higher risk for developing breast cancer than women with less dense breasts. • Menstrual history: Women who start menstruation at an early age (before age 12) and/or menopause at an older age (after age 55) have a slightly higher risk of breast cancer. The increase in risk may be due to a longer lifetime exposure to the hormones estrogen and progesterone. • A sedentary lifestyle: Physical activity in the form of regular exercise for four to seven hours per week may help to reduce breast cancer risk. • Heavy drinking: The use of alcohol is linked to an increased risk of developing breast cancer. • Birth control pills: Using oral contraceptives within the past 10 years may slightly increase the risk of developing breast cancer. The risk decreases over time once the pills are stopped. To schedule a mammogram with HCHS, call 641-843-5190.
Be a Manufacturing Voter Guest Editorial By: Donna Popp-Bruesewitz, Communications Manager, Stellar Industries, Inc. and I Make America Ambassador As an employee owner of an area ESOP manufacturer, I find this election of great importance. While my intent is not to sway your vote, it is to encourage you to educate yourself on the options. I want to share several websites that are available to help in that education process. They are slightly biased to the manufacturing world, but here is why it is important for everyone in this area to check them out. Manufacturers in Iowa account for 18.3 percent of the total output in the state, and employ 13.7 percent of the workforce1. Output from Iowa manufacturing has been rising and was $31.15 billion in 20141. Exporting the goods manufactured here is the strongest part of our Iowa economy, and has the potential to double if Congress would pass more pro-export legislation1. In addition, Iowa small businesses comprise 82 percent of Iowa’s exporters and account for 27 percent of total state exports1. That’s
big business and lots of jobs for our state. Don’t you think having the right people representing us on a state and federal level is important to continue this success and to encourage growth for our area businesses? So how do you learn more? There are great resources online. Check out www.imakeamerica.com. The Association of Equipment Manufacturers sponsors this site. It provides information on a national level based on manufacturing in the equipment and agricultural markets. It advocates for policies that expand and preserve the economic growth of our nation. It covers issues that affect manufacturing, how the candidates stand on these issues, and how you can support efforts to encourage elected officials to pass legislation that supports the industry. Other resources include www.iavotes.com. It provides nonpartisan, unbiased information about Iowa issues, actions you can take, and a way to spread the word to other Iowans about making educated decisions in November. The final resource is from the National Association of Manufacturers. http://www.nam.org/Election-Center-2016/Voter/. This site presents key issues manufacturers across the US, and specifically in Iowa, are facing. November 8th, don’t be just a voter – be a manufacturing voter!

Vice vices
This year’s Presidential election race has introduced a lot of interesting characters to the political scene, but up until last week there have been a couple of conspicuous absences. Senator Tim Kaine and Governor Mike Pence have spent the bulk of this campaign standing in the shadows of their running mates, all but absent from the campaign trail. It’s an odd shift from previous years. Joe Biden continuously made his presence known as Barack Obama’s right hand in 2008 and 2012. Paul Ryan was a high profile GOP congressman before he campaigned with Mitt Romney and as Speaker of the House is now closer to the presidency than Romney ever got. And Sarah Palin, one could argue, all but overshadowed John McCain after he pulled her from obscurity. Yet last week’s debate was the first time for many to be exposed to the two men looking to be the vice-president this time around. As far as introductions go, Kaine could have done better and Pence could have done worse. If you were keeping score at home, Kaine was factually correct more often than not, and in general offered greater detail on the policies of his running mate. But these traits were overshadowed by his frequent interruptions and aggressive tendency to redirect any particular topic at hand towards Donald Trump’s many flaws. From a pure optics standpoint, it’s clear that Pence came out looking the better of the two. Pence interrupted less frequently and spoke with far more composure and grace than his opponent. His background as a radio host served him well as he offered a calm and polished alternative to Kaine’s manic performance.
Particularly since Pence was operating under a handicap. While Kaine had Clinton’s extensive expertise to draw from, Pence had the near impossible task of extrapolating a coherent policy out of Trump’s inflammatory and often contradictory statements. Instead of offering a clear and concise answer, Pence relied on his skills as an orator to filibuster his way out of tough questions with meaningless platitudes. Well, that and the utter denial of objective reality. Both men cherry picked facts to their liking, as is expected of politicians, but Pence’s gift for poise make even the most outlandish statements seem reasonable and he pushed that gift as far as it would take him. But there was one assertion from Pence that no amount of smooth talking could make believable. That was the notion that it was Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, running the “insult driven campaign” in this race. Pence said it with such authority that I’m not sure he’s met his own running mate. This is, after all, a man who made giving his opponents derogatory nicknames a cornerstone of his campaign. Personal attacks aren’t simply a reality of the Trump campaign. They’re an ever present component. In fact, if Pence had access to his phone during the debate, he would have seen Trump tweeting out insults live. As for attack ads, it is true that the Clinton campaign has put out some devastating material. I’m not entirely
sure you can call them “attacks” or “insults” though. Yes, there are insults present in the ads, but that’s because the Clinton campaign has taken the strategy of compiling the terrible things Trump says on a regular basis and presents them verbatim. If judging purely on the basis of being likable and convincing voters to be okay with having you a heartbeat away from the presidency, there’s no doubt Kaine lost. However, that didn’t appear to be his primary goal. Instead, Kaine’s objective seemed to be to put Pence on the defensive as often as possible. Within twelve hours, the Clinton campaign released another “attack ad” composed of Pence denying that Donald Trump has said terrible things, immediately followed by the video proof. I can’t say I approve of such a strategy. I would have liked to see what these two had to say about themselves, rather than each other’s running mates. That said, it will probably be effective. By the time this column sees print, we’ll already be back to focusing on the main candidates. Few will remember Kaine’s hyperactive debate performance, but the clip of Pence denying that Donald Trump didn’t know Russia had invaded the Ukraine will go on forever. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and still wishes Hillary would have picked Bernie Sanders as VP.

I was 10 years old and under the covers with my transistor radio; my folks thought I was asleep. When they looked, they saw a lump under those covers, but I was really at the game. Vin Scully had taken me there. Vinny’s retirement makes us remember all he has done for us. Transistor radios filled in the blanks at the game and away. When TV went digital a few years ago, we decided we’d had enough. We’d planned our lives around getting in for the news and sat like zombies through hours of trash in order to see a couple minutes of TV worth watching. TV was worse than shaving or smoking; eliminate a lifetime of it and we could be happy and productive for another ten or twenty years. Instead of being mesmerized a la George Orwell, we worked, looked at birds, read, talked to each other; stuff like that. Now the TVs are smaller, and everywhere. Out in public, we see people dining together looking at their “devices.” Is Big Brother in there commanding them to believe... “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”? Now we are thinking of getting a TV antenna, for baseball. Upon moving to Iowa, I adopted the Cubs as my team because I root for the underdog, Chicago has blues, and it’s close. Now the Cubs are on a tear, and the Dodgers aren’t bad. I continue to think baseball represents life better than any sport. Pick a reason, but I think it is because

there is no clock, there are limitless opportunities for those with ambition, and no one to blame but yourself. I’ve read several articles about Vinny lately that mentioned the transistor radio, after years of believing I was the only one. Could it be that all those sleepy students were pretending to be asleep so they could listen to the Dodger game? Sorta illustrates the value of revisionist history, doesn’t it? Scully is the only living man I’ve known longer than my barber. He started with the Dodgers the year I was born, 1950. He moved with them from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1957. He will call his last game Sunday afternoon with perennial rival, the Giants, who moved from New York to San Francisco that same year. Can you imagine having the same job for 67 years? Do you think Vin Scully always had everything fall into place for a perfect job? No. But he made it right for himself, and we all profited from his effort to please himself through his job to bring this game to our ears. He stuck with it for 67 years. Thank you, Mr. Scully. The recent death of superstar pros-
pect, Jose Fernandez, makes it all the more moving that Vinny has given so much and also that so much is at stake. Fernandez defected from communist Cuba on his third try. He saved his mother’s life when she fell off the boat. He was jailed after his first two attempted flights to freedom. Another player sparked a parting commentary this year by Vin Scully, as a tiny rebuke to the leftist drivel coming from most other celebrities. Hernan Perez was up to bat for the Brewers (love that name). Scully mused of how Perez might think of the conditions he faces here compared to his home in Venezuela: “Socialism failing to work as it always does, this time in Venezuela. You talk about giving everybody something free and all of a sudden there’s no food to eat. And who do you think is the richest person in Venezuela? The daughter of Hugo Chavez. Hello. Anyway, Oh and Two.” Any comments on these articles are welcome through a letter to the paper or to 4selfgovernment@gmail.com. My blog might interest you as well: www.alternativebyfritz.com

Garner Progressive Club welcomes Upmeyer as guest speaker The Garner Progressive Club met at the home of Vivian Bovenmyer on October 3 for its first meeting of the club year. The group was privileged to have Iowa House of Representatives Speaker Linda Upmeyer as its guest speaker. Linda shared personal experiences and many aspects of her political goals and accomplishments while serving as a public servant in the House. Preparing to be a good leader was important in her decision to serve in her present capacity. There are different responsibilities preparing new members and candidates. While doing this, there are also many local events and functions that are scheduled, as well as state and national meetings. Not only are the important issues of the state a priority, but also training good leaders, setting up workable bud-
gets with regard to education, human services and the environment, and keeping the capitol building in excellent repair for all to appreciate and be proud of. As a female in the leadership role, Linda has found that serving as Speaker of the House has sparked an interest in young girls and women to be interested and prepare for different careers. Questions followed Upmeyer’s presentation, and everyone enjoyed the program and the information presented. President Lou Pinnekamp later called the regular meeting to order, and roll call was answered by 11 members. The program for the year was presented. It was noted that the recipient of the Garner Progressive Club scholarship grant, Autumn Weaver, is attending college.

Webinar to address common misconceptions about drainage and water quality By Julie Whitson, Jacqueline Comito and Matt Helmers, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa – Iowa Learning Farms has hosted a number of field days in 2016 where farmers, landowners, agriculture professionals and many others have come together to learn about conservation farming practices. At these events, many attendees have had common questions, and sometimes common misconceptions, about water quality and drainage. Matt Helmers will explore some of these misconceptions during the Iowa Learning Farms’ monthly webinar on Wednesday, Oct. 19. The webinar is free, and all that is needed to participate is a computer with internet access. Many have asked what might need to change to reach our nutrient reduction goals. “Many people are surprised by the magnitude of change needed,” said Helmers. “Under some scenarios, we need on the order of 7,600 wetlands and 120,000 bioreactors on the land, in addition to cover crops on over 10 million acres.” The webinar will address common misconceptions about how various practices including nitrogen manage-
ment, cover crops and perennials work to reduce nitrogen losses. In addition, the webinar will touch on drainage practices that you might hear about more in the future such as drainage water recycling. Helmers is the dean’s professor in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering at Iowa State University, where he has been on the faculty since 2003. His research and extension activities include studies on the impact of nutrient management, cropping practices, drainage design and management and strategic placement of buffer systems on nutrient export from agricultural landscapes.
The Iowa Learning Farms webinars are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 1 p.m. To log in, go to: https://connect.extension.iastate.edu/ ilf/ at 1 p.m. on the afternoon of the webinar and log in through the “guest” option. Webinar participants can ask questions during the presentation using the chat function. The webinar will be recorded and archived on the Iowa Learning Farms website for viewing at any time at: https://www.iowalearningfarms.org/page/webinars. ILF has hosted a webinar every month since January 2011. To date, there are 69 webinars to view on a wide range of topics including soil erosion, water quality, cover crops, and farmer perspectives.

Annual roadside survey results for small game released
By Adam Janke, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa – For those living in rural Iowa, the sight of a brood of young game birds, like Hungarian partridge, bobwhite quail or ring-necked pheasant, is probably a common and welcome sight on morning drives down dusty roads. Sometime during August there was a different sight on those roadways, wildlife biologists from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources slowly surveying the roadside. That’s because the Iowa DNR logged 6,000 miles counting birds and rabbits in their annual August Roadside Survey. The results released on Aug. 30 showed little change from last year, a promising result for gamebird populations that have shown population declines in most years of the survey’s 55-year history. Survey data analysis conducted by the Iowa DNR revealed that although there were slight increases or decreases in some regions, almost all of these changes, particularly within the core distribution of each bird’s range in the state, were within the margin of error in the survey. This year’s survey results builds on three consecutive years of relatively strong small game populations in the state after conspicuous declines in pheasants, bobwhites and, to a lesser extent, partridge that had been ongoing since the early 2000s. In fact, the 2016 bobwhite index from the roadside surveys suggests bobwhites are more abundant in Iowa’s southern counties this year than they have been since the late 1980s.
Electrocutions can happen in an instant
By Charles Schwab, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa— During National Farm Safety and Health Week, Sept. 18-24, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach wants to remind everyone to look up and avoid contact with power lines to prevent farm injuries and deaths. This is the time of year when oversized, tall equipment such as portable grain augers and combines are moved from place to place on the farmstead, or are transported on public roads. Any time this type of equipment is moved there is a risk of contact with overhead power lines. “It is important to treat all power lines above or those that have fallen as energized,” said Charles Schwab,
ISU Extension and Outreach safety specialist. Use the following precautions to reduce the potential electrocution hazards on the farm: Maintain at least 10 feet of clearance from any overhead lines; know where all overhead power lines are located and inform workers about their locations; plan routes between fields, to bins and elevators, and on public roads so that low-hanging power lines are avoided; lower all portable grain augers before moving, no matter how short the travel distance; be sure everyone on the farm knows what to do in an electrical emergency. “If your combine or tractor connects with a power line, stay put, unless
you’re in immediate danger from a fire or other hazard,” Schwab said. “If you must get off the equipment, then jump as far away from the machinery as possible and after landing, move further away by shuffling your feet. “The goal is never to touch the earth (ground) and the equipment at the same time and is why you jump off the equipment. Shuffle your feet because long striding steps can create enough electrical potential for a shock. Never go back and touch the equipment until power to the utility line is turned off and you have been given the clearance by the electrical company,” Schwab said.

Be your own social network Why do seniors get lonely? Contrary to what some people might think, seniors aren’t typically lonely because they’re too ‘frail’ or ‘grumpy’ to socialize. Most senior loneliness stems from circumstances that are beyond their control. During our youths, we typically spend our days working in people-packed environments or with families. Retirement, children leaving and bereavement mean that older people tend to get far fewer social encounters on a daily basis than they used to. Seniors aren’t lonely because they’re losing touch with their friends and family, they’re lonely because their lives have simply reached a stage where casual social interaction does not occur during the course of the day. Why is loneliness dangerous? Humans are powerfully social animals. Even the most introverted individual will need some human company from

ing. It can impair immune function, advance dementia, and increase one’s risk of heart disease. A lonely person, it seems, can quite literally die from a broken heart. Needless to say, this is all deeply worrying. What can you do about it? Getting out and about to social events isn’t always easy, and those who live in isolated locations may find that the social calendar in their area is lacking. Fur-
thermore, friends and family have their own commitments to deal with, and – however good their intentions – may well not have as much time as their ageing loved one really needs. Seniors who want to avoid loneliness often have to take some seriously proactive steps – steps that can be painful. If you live in an isolated area, for example, it may be a good idea to move somewhere with more social potential. If this isn’t an option (or you’re already there), try some of the following suggestions. Visit an Elderbridge congegate meal site in your area. The food is great and so is the companionship! Start a small business. This will both provide an income and keep you in touch with the world at large. Use the internet. There are websites that exist
nowadays for the purpose of connecting people. This can be a great starting point for meeting new people and organizing face-to-face social events. Volunteer. Charity work is a fantastic way to give back to the world while gaining a great social life at the same time ! Go for walks. Heading out into the world for a stroll will not only keep you fit, but provide a wealth of casual ‘how-dedo’ encounters. Admit your feelings. If you’re feeling lonely or depressed, tell someone. If there’s nobody to tell, reach out to one of the many charities, organizations, and churches that can.

West Hancock volleyball drops home finale Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom
The West Hancock High School volleyball team was swept for the sixth consecutive match in a 25-13, 25-12, 25-11 loss to Bishop Garrigan, Algona in its final regular season home match of the season on October 4. The Eagles have now dropped 14 consecutive sets since their last victory over Waterloo Christian School at the Dunkerton tournament on September 24. Brooke Anderson, Sydney Burgardt and Kaylee Hudspeth all finished with three kills apiece, while Amanda Chizek and Anderson both contributed two total blocks. Faith Hammer had a fantastic night for West Hancock (2-15), leading the team with four digs and dished out
10 of the Eagles’ 11 assists. West Hancock played well in spurts, but couldn’t maintain consistency throughout the match. “I reamed them out at one time out and they went out and bam, bam. Side out, side out. Point, point. And then it all just kind of fell apart again,” West Hancock head coach Jennifer Hammer said. Courtney Kirsh and Whitney Hovey paced Bishop Garrigan, Algona (14-15) with seven kills, and Hovey added a match-high six aces. Jenna Boelter also turned in a tremendous performance with match bests of 23 assists and nine digs. Hammer wished that the final home match for a number of seniors had gone better. “We struggled once again with our serve reception, we just didn’t want to move our feet to serve receive nor dig,” Hammer said. “Garrigan was

For a team that has worked as hard and learned as much as the West Hancock High School volleyball team this season, they finally enjoyed the fruits of its collective labor, snapping an eightmatch losing streak with a 21-15, 21-15 victory over Newman Catholic at the Buffalo Center tournament on October 8. The win was the first for the Eagles since they downed Waterloo Christian School on September 24, and was particularly satisfying for head coach Jennifer Hammer. “We were very pleased to obtain our third match victory of the season over Mason City Newman Catholic, a revenge win from earlier this season,” Hammer said. West Hancock (3-19) were swept at home by Newman on September 15. The Eagles’ triumph was bookended by losses in the first two matches of the day to North Iowa (21-15, 21-16) and Estherville Lincoln Central (219, 21-11), then the final two against West Bend-Mallard (21-18, 21-14) and North Butler (21-15, 21-15). West Hancock’s performance for the tournament was a “pleasant surprise”
according to Hammer. “We played together as a team unit today with average serve reception and an excellent display of attacking,” Hammer said. Amanda Chizek led the team with 15 kills, followed by Kaylee Hudspeth’s 12 and eight from Sydney Burgardt. Faith Hammer had a terrific day in setting up the attacks with 43 assists, 13 of which came against North Butler and 10 versus Newman. Ryann Hagen finished the day with a team-high 16 digs and Sydney Zamago went 26-for-26 serving at the varsity level for the first time. Freshman Marissa Eekhoff and Emily Ryerson along with sophomore Sydney Hudspeth also found their way into the rotation to gain valuable experience. Coach Hammer noted that the tournament was the best the team had executed all season long, and spoke about the character of the roster. “Our performance today again showed that our ladies are resilient,” Hammer said. “We managed to keep our heads throughout the five matches in this tournament.” The Eagles have one tournament left in the regular season at Garner-Hayfield/Ventura on October 15.
most definitely a team that we should have played with, so for the seniors to play the last time on their home court, that was hard to take.” Hammer continued, “What we’re lacking right now is confidence. The girls can play. They have built up so much knowledge about the game this season that they can play, it’s just so frustrating that they can’t do it consistently.” Bishop Garrigan, Algona (14-15) snapped a two-match losing streak with the win. West Hancock will travel to Buffalo Center for the North Iowa tournament on October 8, matches that Hammer feels the Eagles can do well with. “It’s going to be a very good tournament for us,” Hammer said. “We’ll play five matches with teams just like us and any team is beatable on any given night.”
Last week proved to be very productive for the GHV volleyball squad. The Cardinal girls completed their TIC schedule on a winning note and also added a conference crossover victory to their record. Tuesday’s win at North Union resulted in GHV finishing the league race in third place behind powerhouses Lake Mills and Forest City. North Union has fielded a fairly strong program in recent years and the Cards traveled to Armstrong expecting a tough match. GHV coach Kelsey Steffens was no doubt pleased with the play of her squad as the Cards topped North Union in three sets. All three games were somewhat close with GHV pulling away at the end for victories of 25 – 19, 25 – 17 and 25 – 18. As usual, Hannah Lau and Mackenzie Van Gerpen provided most

At the serve line, Knutson scored three aces on 14 of 15 serves while Frayned added three aces on nine of 11 serves. Coach Steffens stated, “The girls knew they had to come out with energy, push points, and serve aggressively because their conference placement depended on this match. The girls played their best match of the season and it gives us great momentum as we enter post-season play.” The Cardinals faced an unfamiliar opponent on Thursday with GHV

“We feel good that we were able to control the ball and play good defense against a good passing offense,� Eagles coach Bob Sanger said. Hunt also led West Hancock (61) with four tackles, just one of a jaw-dropping 23 players who contributed to at least one tackle on the night. Kolby Goepel and Ben Eisenman each picked up 3.5 and Weiland contributed three. The Eagles came up just 26 yards shy of the magical 400-yard mark, the first time in five games that West Hancock’s dominant rushing attack has failed to achieve that plateau. The Eagles have a daunting matchup next week (October 14) when they face off with undefeated Saint Ansgar (7-0) on the road. The Saints have won each of their games by an average of 35 points on the season. “We’re going to have to play good, solid offense, keep the ball away from them as much as we can and play good defense, be a three-andout type of game,� Sanger said. “You know they are a very good football team and I hope I can match wits with (Saint Ansgar head coach) Drew Clevenger.

Post-season expectations are high for the GHV boys’ cross-country team and last week’s action at Eagle Grove gave the Cardinals more reason to be excited. Reece Smith continued his streak of individual titles while propelling the Cardinals to a third place finish against some of the toughest teams in the state. Two ranked teams from Class 3A finished ahead of GHV in the team standings as Gilbert won the title with 25 points followed by Humboldt with 61. GHV placed third with 73 points while the remainder of the field was well behind. Smith is currently the top-rated runner in Class 2A and the GHV sophomore placed first overall in 16:25. Ray Cataldo and Logan Dalbeck are also ranked among the top twenty individuals in the state and they placed 13th and 21st overall in 17:40 and 18:03. Austin Siegrist followed Dalbeck to the finish line,
placing 22nd in 18:06 and Derek Brown completed the team total by placing 26th in 18:17. Completing the varsity roster were Dalton Kelley (40th, 19:00) and Nathan Larson (54th, 19:25). Kelley’s time in this race was a 30 second improvement over his previous personal record. Andy Schreur led the GHV junior varsity racers with a time of 19:29. Also racing for the Cardinals in JV action were Mason Wirtz (19:51), Tyler Obermann (20:16), Lucas Rayhons (20:33), Luke Brown (20:36), Dalton Hawe (20:45), Patrick Carew (22:02), Matt Heineman (21:38), Seth Miller (21:46), Sam Childress (22:54), Braden Hess (23:07), Drew Furst (23:16), Jordan Upmeyer (23:28), Luke Hansen (23:23), Keegan Clark (24:30), Spencer Formanek (24:27), Austin Mohlis (24:30), Austin Case (24:47), McKinley Hawe (24:38) and Derek Neuberger (26:07).
Cardinal coach Jeff Short commented, “The team ran well on a hilly course against some of the best teams in the state. Reece’s winning time was only eight seconds off of his personal record. Ray also ran well to finish as our number two runner. Many of the guys appear to be peaking at the right time with only three meets to go before districts.� The Cardinals have a big week ahead of them with a meet at Forest City on Monday and the TIC conference race on Thursday.

Cardinal girls run at Eagle Grove
GHV faced some of the strongest competition of the season to date last week at the Eagle Grove cross-country meet. The Cardinal girls found themselves running against three Class 3A ranked teams along with some other fairly strong programs. In spite of placing eighth out of nine teams, it was a productive day as Cardinal runners continue to work toward the post season with two varsity and two junior varsity racers recording personal record times. Hannah Whelan completed the course in a personal record time of 21:50 to lead GHV by placing 16th. Rebekah Larson was 37th in 23:33 followed by Nicole Upmeyer’s 38th place finish in 23:48. Rachel Sokol was 45th in 24:37 and Sadie Oul-
man completed the team total by placing 47th in 24:54. Also in the varsity lineup at Eagle Grove were Emma Whelan (49th, 25:09) and Jillian Heitland (50th, 25:23). Heitland’s time was a personal record in her first season on the cross-country roster. In junior varsity action Emily Howke and Taylor Boggs recorded personal record times of 26:13 and 27:30 respectively. Hannah Wellik also ran in the JV race for the Cards, completing the course in a time of 28:19. GHV assistant coach Emberly Albertson commented, “The girls ran well on a hilly course against some of the best teams in Iowa. Hannah’s 16 th place finish earned her a medal and was 15 seconds better than
her previous personal record time. Several girls appear to be peaking at the right time and we are excited about what our runners are accomplishing at this time.� The Cardinals will run on Monday at Forest City’s cross-country meet and will then compete in the TIC conference race on Thursday at NIACC.

THE
five minutes remaining in the game. GHV was able to trim the deficit thanks to an exciting 66-yard punt return by Nick Joynt. Ryan Meyers found Joynt on a pass for the twopoint PAT, making the score 33 – 22. GHV’s onside kick attempt was unsuccessful and the Cadets were able to run out the remaining time on the clock. Crestwood’s size advantage on the line made it tough for the Cardinal running backs to gain yardage. Conner Shaw picked up 48 yards on a dozen carries to lead the Cardinals while Connor Burke added 30 yards on nine carries. The Cardinal passing attack was called upon frequently throughout the night as Meyers completed 11 of 21 passes for 199 yards. Joynt finished the game with six receptions for 102 yards and Chase Theobald added three catches for 69 yards. Anthony Sherwood and Shaw each had a reception for 18 and 10 yards respectively. Defensively GHV had difficulty stopping the Cadet running game as Crestwood’s big offensive linemen provided plenty of openings for ball carriers. Crestwood finished the night with 309 yards on the ground while completing three of five passes for 64 yards. Joynt had a busy night on the defensive side of the ball, finishing the game with nine solo tackles and 11 assists. Shaw added six solos and two assists while Grady Umbarger was credited with three solos and eight assists. Other leading defenders included Jace Pringnitz with four solos and two assists, Dane Whipple with two solos and five assists and Burk with a solo and six assists. Cardinal coach Scott Van Dusseldorp commented, “I was very pleased with how we came off the bus and played well early. The team never quit and fought to the end. This week we play New Hampton at home. This is a playoff game for us as if we want a chance to continue on into the post season we have to win these next two games. We will continue to try to get better every week as we always have things we can improve upon.� The Cardinals are now 5 – 2
West Hancock runs over Rockford
Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom For the third consecutive game, Dylan Eckels did not need to throw a single pass as the West Hancock High School football team rushed for 374 yards and eight touchdowns in a 65-6 obliteration of Rockford on October 7. Colton Francis once again led the way with 133 yards on just eight carries, and found the end zone twice, with a long of 37 yards for the Eagles. Though he only got seven opportunities to carry the ball, Jordan Weiland made the most of them, pacing the team with three touchdowns will accumulating 46 yards. Bennett Bruns finished with 72 yards and a score on nine carries, while MaCoy Yeakel, Nick Lemmon and Chase Eisenman all reached pay dirt once. While Eckels wasn’t required to throw a pass, he did convert on three point after attempts as well as a pair of two-point conversions, and returned an interception 25 yards for a touchdown. Nick Hunt and Yeakel also added interceptions.

GHV’s Smith wins again
GHV’s Jace Pringnitz (20) blocks for Dylan Mahlstedt (3) during a kickoff return in the Cards 33-22 loss to Crestwood.
It would be an understatement to say that GHV’s game at Crestwood (Cresco) on Friday was pivotal. The Cardinals, with a post-season appearance on their mind, could have virtually sealed a trip to the playoffs with a win over the league-leading Cadets. That scenario did not play out for the Cards as Crestwood downed GHV 33-22. The Cardinals’ chances for a post-season appearance will now require victories in their final two district games of the season. GHV received the opening kickoff but failed to sustain their first drive of the game and were forced to punt. The Cadets had a much better first possession, marching 89 yards in 14 plays for the game’s first touchdown. The PAT kick put Crestwood on top 7 – 0 heading into the second quarter. GHV got on the board midway through the second quarter thanks to a big play by the Cardinal offense. Quarterback Ryan Meyers connected with Nick Joynt on a 70yard scoring pass. The PAT attempt failed but the Cards had cut the deficit to one point. The momentum stayed with GHV for only a short time as Crestwood answered with a six-play scoring drive on their next possession. The PAT was again successful, pushing the halftime score to 14 – 6. GHV desperately needed a stop on Crestwood’s first possession of the second half, but that didn’t happen as the Cadets marched 62 yards early in the third quarter for their third touchdown of the night. The PAT failed giving the home team a 20 – 6 advantage early in the second half. The Cardinals were able to answer with a five-play 57-yard scoring drive on their first possession of the second half. Conner Burke found the end zone on a three-yard run and Conner Shaw added the two-point PAT closing the gap to 20 – 14. Crestwood then slammed the door with two more touchdowns, one coming late in the third quarter and the other midway through the fourth. Those two scores put the game out of reach as the Cardinals now trailed 33 – 14 with just over

8a The Leader • Wednesday, October 12, 2016
West Hancock volleyball coach Jennifer Hammer speaks about the team at Homecoming Coronation on September 29.
Landon Evanson | The Leader
A long journey begins with a single step Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom
It’s not always about wins and losses. For some teams, it’s about the journey to find an ultimate destination. For the West Hancock High School volleyball team, those initial steps have been taken this season. When Jennifer Hammer was appointed as head coach in June, she inherited a team that did not have much experience or knowledge about the game, and didn’t always get along. The first challenge was finding a way to bring the team together. “She knuckled down on us,” junior Sydney Burdgardt said. A sentiment shared by Hammer’s daughter Faith, a senior in just her second year of volleyball. “There was a lot of negativity in the past, so once we got past that I think that helped,” Faith Hammer said. “My mom doesn’t really put up with bad attitudes, so that kind of got pushed down right away so there really wasn’t a chance for it, which was good.” Coach Hammer stressed early and often that for the team to come together, they needed to like one another inside the gym and communicate, which would build trust. It has been a strategy that has paid off thus far. “We definitely get along way better
than we ever have before, in any volleyball season since I’ve been in high school,” junior Ryann Hagen said. One of the newcomers, freshman Amanda Chizek agrees. “(Coach Hammer) helps us with team bonding, she’s a big part of that,” Chizek said. “Our tournaments on Saturdays bring us together, we bond during the car rides.” Once the team began to gel and trust one another, it was time to preach the fundamentals that would provide the building blocks of success down the road. “In order to be good they have to work on it, work on their skills, and that is outside of the season,” coach Hammer said. “That’s before practice, after practice, through the season.” From practice alone, the players feel that they have made great strides in their tactical approaches not only as a team, but as individuals, as well. “(Coach Hammer) stresses that we need to hustle and not be frustrated when we make a mistake,” Chizek said. “She wants us to do everything right and use correct form in whatever we’re doing. I came along so much from last year,” Chizek continued, “I didn’t know how to jump and now I’m blocking like crazy and trying to do as much as I can to help the team.” Staying upbeat has been something the team has strived for all year.
The fall colors are out...
That means winter is coming! Make sure your tires are ready BEFORE the snow hits. Good thing my coat is always ready!
“(Coach Hammer) keeps telling us that we have a lot of potential, and we do,” Burdgardt said. “We just always get down on ourselves right away, so we’re trying to fix that now.” “I think it’s really important to stay positive and keep the game a positive because if you’re just negative all the time, you’re not going to want to keep going,” Faith Hammer said. Coach Hammer pointed out that “I do need to lay the pathway for the future volleyball players of West Hancock. We need to have open gyms, they need to go to team camps, plural, this summer to hear information and skills aside from me.” The concept of staying positive, striving to improve and putting in the work to accomplish that were on full display at a practice following the Eagles’ sweep at the hands of Forest City on September 13. “We’ve had our ups and downs, but at the coronation rally (September 26) I used the term resilient because we just got blasted by Forest City,” coach Hammer said. “The next day, we come to practice and we had the best practice that we’ve had all season long.” Though the team has not reached its stage of development where success can be measured by wins and losses, coach Hammer still pushes herself and the team to reach that goal. “When you look at our record (2-15), nobody should be content or pleased with that,” Hammer said. “I take that personally because that’s a reflection of what I am doing out here to teach these kids about the game. We knew right from the get-go that this season was not going to be about wins and losses, it was going to be about learning the fundamentals, learning more about the game and getting better each and every day.” Hammer continued, “I expect them to play to the best of their ability, but I also understand that it’s not something that’s going to happen overnight or in one season. We’re in a situation where it’s going to take three to five years to rebuild.” Though turning the volleyball program around will take time, the players on the current roster are committed to continue on with the journey that began back in June, not just for themselves, but for coach Hammer, as well. “She really stepped up for us,” Hagen said. “Nobody wanted us, basically. She chose to take a risk and try to go for it, so we really respect her for that and we want to show her that we’re going to give it our all.”

The football game scheduled in Garner on Friday, Oct. 14, 2016 (GHV vs New Hampton) has been designated as the 2016 Football Coaches vs Cancer Pink Out night. Football Pink Out events began at GHV in 2011. To show support for the GVH Cardinals for a Cure Pink Out, various fundraising items will be available for sale including: buttons, wristbands and glow sticks.

The 46-second drill competition will be held between the fans during half-time. A 46-second drill is explained as follows: “This year in Iowa, 46 people will be diagnosed with cancer every day. To remember those 46 people, we are going to put 46 seconds up on the clock and during that time the volunteers will run through the stands with buckets. Let’s join forces and try to raise as much money as possible in these 46 seconds to beat this disease so no one else has to hear the words, you have cancer” Funds raised on the New Hampton side will benefit the Chickasaw County Relay For Life. Funds raised on the GHV side will benefit the Hancock County Relay For Life – all

Klemme Council okays soil boring test Rebecca Peter
gleadernews@qwestoffice.net KLEMME – Klemme city council members approved a contract with Chosen Valley Testing Inc. (CVT) in connection to on-going improvements to the city’s sanitary lagoon system. The council met on Oct. 3 Ken Weiland, public works director, reported that he has been in contact with the engineering firm Veenstra and Kimm, on a proposal for CVT to complete a geotechnical soil boring investigation for $3,595 or $4,645 if groundwater is encountered during drilling. The council approved the contract with CVT. Veenstra and Kimm is working with the City of Klemme on plans for a hybrid aerated lagoon in order to meet DNR water quality discharge standards. “The geotechnical investigation is a required step in the design of our lagoon improvements. The key purpose is to determine the suitability of the soil for the construction of a Equalization Basin,” noted Mayor Ken Blank. In other matters, the council was updated on the sale of the former
bank building. “The bank building has been listed with a realtor,” said Mayor Blank. “Our goal has been not just to sell a building but to help a business locate there. We want to make sure the business is something the town wants and that it has a chance to succeed. The city will offer financial assistance, but we do require a complete business plan. We have had inquiries and are currently working with a party on summiting a business plan.” Finally, the council set Oct. 31 for Halloween Trick or Treat Day at Klemme. Kids Club The council approved the use of the Klemme Community Room as a meeting place for an afterschool kids’ club. Pat Teeter of Garner, is a field staff member for the non-denominational InFaith organization in North Iowa. A free afterschool kids club is for children ages 5-12. The club will meet after school until 5:25 p.m. on Thursdays from Oct. 27 through Dec. 8. Teeter along with other volunteers, will lead the club in games, songs, and other activities.
LIGHTS from page 1 “We had the spare on hand so (Hagen) rebuilt it and it right back up as quick as possible, but we were running without a back-up,” councilman Dwight Leerar said. A replacement spare was approved by the City Council on October 4, and will cost $2,735. The equipment should arrive “within the next couple of weeks,” according to Leerar.
“That solar-powered unit is compatible with the stop signs, as well,” Hagen said. The light that was downed serves as a warning light that flashes yellow to communicate an oncoming stop sign to drivers, while the stop sign flashes red. Because the next damaging storm could arrive at any moment, “We just like to have one on the shelf in the shop,” Hagen said.
GARNER from page 1 let for bids this fall/winter with construction in the spring/summer of 2017. •Cottonwood Drive Storm Sewer – The re-estimated cost of a 2014 plan is about $1.2 million, including engineering, easements, permits and bonding. Lansing noted that the city does not have the money on hand for this and will have to bond for it. Bonding over a 20-year period at 2.5 percent interest will result in annual payments of about $77,000. Funding options also include an increase in storm water fees; local option funds; amend the city’s Urban Renewal Plan to include the project in a TIF District; and increase the debt service levy. •Hejliks 3rd Subdivision – The city has learned that it can purchase 7 acres for a 3rd addition to the Hejlik’s Subdivision for $20,420 per acre. •Southside Storm Sewer Project – Veenstra and Kimm is studying options for dealing with storm water problems at high school, downstream from the high school and on Allen Ave. Possibilities range from $200,000 to create a large detention area in the school property, and construct facilities through Sesame/Lyon Street property owners backyards to $1 million to significantly size up Allen Ave. storm sewers and build a storm line form the school to the Iowa River. •Multi family housing development – The city is considering the purchase of the current school baseball field property for $196,000 for possible multifamily housing development. The city has $150,000 for the purchase and the balance can come form local option funds. Other business With the retirement of Sgt. Mark Yates, the council appointed Senior
Patrol Officer Cory Graham as temporary second in command of the Garner Police Department and increased Graham hourly pay $.25 per hour to $22.84 per hour for additional duties in effect until the end of the temporary appointment. The council accepted the bid of $14,445.67 from Johnson Sign Service of Mason City to replace the messaging sign in front of city hall. The city also received a $7,500 grant from the Hancock County Foundation, which will be applied toward the cost. Fair Labor Standards Act Lansing reported that three city employees who are currently salaried, will be affected by the Executive, Administrative and Professional (EAP) Wage Exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Effective Dec. 1, salaried employees performing executive, administrative and professional duties are required to be paid a minimum of $47,476 ($22.82) per hour under a 2,080 hour work year. They are: Park & Rec Director Sarah Swanson, City Clerk Daisy Huffman and Library Director Ellen Petty. Swanson is currently salaried at $44,065; Huffman ($45,456) and Petty ($40,951). Lansing is recommending advancing Swanson’s salary to the minimum FSLA salary of $47,476 and hold the salary at that for two years. He also recommended also keeping city clerk Daisy Huffman salaried at the $47,476 but eliminating the $40 per meeting pay that she currently receives. No formal action was taken by the council on either recommendation regarding Swanson or Huffman. In the case of Ellen Petty, the library board of directors will bring a recommendation to council at a later date.
DISPATCH from page 1 “Adding staff would likely eliminate any savings to Hancock County,” Buffington said. “That decision is the Sheriff’s to make and the Board of Supervisors is keeping all those elements in mind as we continue to explore the possibility.” The E911 Service Boards would continue to retain their independence. “They were created by a vote of the people in each county,” he said. “We are not rushing in to anything right now. We want to go slow and get all the information we can,” he continued. “The decision will ultimately be made in Garner by the Board of Supervisors and in Forest City it will be decided primarily by the board in conjunction with the Winnebago County Public Safety Commission.” Hancock County Sheriff Scott Dodd said that in the event the two counties merge their emergency dispatch services, the Hancock County Jail will likely become a temporary holding facility. Hancock County generally averages about five inmates a day. “Recently it’s been around ten per day,” he said. The
county also accepts inmates from other counties on work-release programs and female inmates from Winnebago County. Dodd noted that Iowa has about 100 911 centers around the state. Consolidation of services is being encouraged by the State. Dodd is generally positive about the possibilities that consolidation of dispatch services could bring to the law enforcement, fire and ambulance services of both counties. He noted that equipment and personnel needs are still being researched. “I’m going to be for it as long as it saves money and serves the people,” he said. The Hancock and Winnebago boards will meet on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 2 p.m. at the community room at TSB Bank in Forest City to continue discussions.

Kanawha fifth graders complete entrepreneurial project Landon Evanson
hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom
MASON CITY – The fifth grade class at Kanwha Middle School were introduced to the basics of business on September 29, but were able to apply and expand upon what they learned with a second, hands-on project at North Iowa Area Community College’s John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center on October 6. While the first day touched on planning, financial literacy, marketing and team-building skills, the second day provided the opportunity to see such concepts in action. Jennifer Hammer’s class was divided into four groups of five, with one child serving as entrepreneur and the remaining four kids as employees. The children were instructed about the ins and outs of simplified cash flow statements and balance sheets, but were asked to develop a business, complete with name, slogan and bank loan that outlined the monies needed to get their operation off the ground. The groups wee asked to choose a product to manufacture such as cell phones, flatscreen televisions and cupcakes, but had a budgetary cap under which they had to make purchases of necessary materials such as tools and Play-Doh, from which they would assemble their goods. The kicker, however, was that no one was allowed to use their hands. The fifth-graders needed to be creative and work together. “This is kind of the fun day for them,” presenter Catherine Hansen said. “They had to do a lot of listening before, but today they actually get to get in there, and I think the purpose of today is for them to understand what it’s like to work together cooperatively. They do that in school, but in business it’s such a bigger deal.” Hansen touched on the idea of working as a team and the challenge of taking direction from someone who might be a peer, but also working as a cohesive unit to accomplish the goals of the group. “They have to use a lot of creativity and have to figure out how to work within limitations,” Hansen said. “They can’t use their hands and there

Fifth graders from Kanawha’s West Hancock Middle School assemble their products at North Iowa Area Community Colleges’s John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center in Mason City on October 6. are limited resources (in the classroom), so they have to learn how to be creative when resources run out.” The project was set to a 15-minute timer, which established the idea of deadlines and the lack of an indefinite window for project completion. It’s an experience that builds confidence. “When they come in they think they know it all, when they leave they know more,” Hansen said. “ That confidence comes from the opportunity to employ a strategy that may not have worked perfectly, but could be reflected upon at the end of the day when the class discussed the idea of different ways to approach the project were they given the chance to come back the following day. “It’s interesting to hear some of the things they say,” Hansen said. “Often times they will take one tool and there’s five people who need a tool,
they can’t use their hands. So they figure out to start out with enough tools for everybody, or some even pick different products because they found out that what they chose was too complicated to make.” Hansen continued “Those are the sorts of things that the kids start to learn, and there’s only so much you can learn in one day, but it starts to open their eyes a little bit to this idea that there is more that they can do.” Above everything else, the two-day NIACC project is an interactive experience that shows the children that there are many parts to starting a business. “It’s not just a matter of having a good idea and going to do it,” Hansen said. “They start to realize that they have to depend on people and they have to come up with resources.” The main example Hansen utilized was the idea of a lemonade stand.
“Most of the kids think that they’ll just go into the kitchen (of their homes) and get the lemonade and go out and sell it,” Hansen said. “(At NIACC), we’re hoping for them to realize that they have to go someplace and buy materials, so they have to learn about gathering supplies,” and continued “there are many parts to it, and there may be more to it than they thought, but they can do it.” Watching the youngsters pick up on the concepts is a treat for Hansen, whose primary employment is as a substitute teacher. “I love it. I can see them progress by the end of the day. Often times I’m just doing what the teacher assigned, but it might be a much longer project than I ever get to see the end result of,” Hansen said. “I get to see the little light bulb go on. It’s very rewarding.”

BRITT – School bus safety is in the forefront of the community’s collective mind whenever summer comes to a close and children begin toting backpacks and lunches to board for the first day of school, but the reality is that it is critical all year. Keith Deunow, the Public Resource Officer for Post 8 in Mason City stopped by the West Hancock Elementary School on October 7 to review and educate the kindergarten through fourth grade classes about proper bus safety from crossing the street to getting on and off, how to behave while on the bus and even instructed them on emergency exits in the event of an accident. Deunow began his teaching with a story of a young girl from Northwood who was killed in a bus accident in 2011 as an example of the importance of what he was sharing. “You don’t want to scare the kids so much, but you want to get their attention to understand that this is a real problem that has happened and that it’s why it is important that they listen,” Deunow said. The demonstration was about more
than just the physical aspects of using the hand rail when getting on and off the bus during the winter because of slippery steps and how to maneuver the emergency exits, it focused on the importance of being respectful to the driver. “We want them to understand being respectful on the bus to the bus driver because their job is very important, getting them to school safely,” Deunow said. The 11-year veteran explained to the children that sitting forward and talking lowly would allow the driver to not only see them, but that would also make it easier for the driver to focus on traffic behind and to the sides of the bus, as well. “We try to do this every year in most of the schools to reiterate how important it is that they’re paying attention to what’s going on,” Deunow said. Beyond safety and respect for the driver, Deunow also touched on the idea of bullying. “That’s a big issue that we’re seeing throughout the nation in schools and it can start on the bus before they even get to school,” Deunow said. The officer urged children to report any bullying to their bus driver if they were experiencing or seeing it on their

GARNER – Hancock County students were able to see first-hand what career opportunities exist in manufacturing locally on Friday, Oct. 7 – Manufacturing Day. Stellar Industries opened its doors on Friday, to more than 25 students from Garner-Hayfield-Ventura in the Garner facility and over 50 West Hancock students at the Kanawha facility as part of an effort to change people’s perceptions about today’s manufacturing environment and draw attention to the outstanding opportunities that a career in manufacturing can provide. Activities included watching several videos regarding manufacturing, about the products Stellar makes, and other manufacturing opportunities. Students also toured the man-
rides to and from the learning facility. Deunow’s position was formerly known as Public Education Officer and delves much further than just bus safety. Deunow also offers programs for internet safety, winter safety and more, which are available to schools and businesses in his eight-county coverage area. At the end of the day, Deunow simply wanted the children to grasp the importance of vigilance and safety every day, in school or out. “The last thing anybody wants to see is a child get hurt or killed just trying to go to school or trying to cross the road to get the mail for their parents,” Deunow said. “Even just learning to look both ways, even when they’re not getting on the school bus, it’s important that they realize that they need to be careful.”

Enjoy the outdoors this fall
By Brianna Sholly, conservation education intern, Cerro Gordo County Conservation Board With summer in the rearview mirror and winter fast approaching, many people take fall as a time to slow down and enjoy the little things indoors – like pumpkin spice lattes and homemade apple pie. But, there is still plenty to do outside. Let’s explore some options at Cerro Gordo County parks. Hunting and Fishing Cerro Gordo Conservation Board manages 19 public areas that allow hunting. Each offers a variety of game, so check them all out. Whether it’s ring-necked pheasant, white-tailed deer, wild turkey, waterfowl, or squirrel and rabbits you’re after, we’re sure to have an area perfect for your hunt. Reminder: non-toxic shot is required. If it’s fish you’re after, check out one of the six county fishing ponds, ranging from the 0.65 acre Blair Meadows Preserve to the 40 acre Bluebill Wildlife Area. In these areas, you can find species such as bluegill, largemouth bass, channel catfish, crappie and yellow perch. Fall is a great time to try to catch some dinner. Prairie Hike While many people attribute the colors of fall to trees changing color, prairies are equally beautiful at this time. The stem of bluestem grass turns red, the goldenrod and sunflowers create a sea of yellow, asters and false boneset bring in pops of white, and blazingstar offers shades of purple. If you’ve never experienced an autumn prairie, check out Blazingstar Prairie, Haugen Wildlife Area, Limestone Prairie Preserve, Walch Wildlife Area, Wilkinson Pioneer Park or the trails at Lime Creek Conservation Area today. Wildlife Viewing Herps – Reptiles and amphibians hibernate in the winter, so fall is your last time to spot them before spring, which can seem like forever away. Try searching under rocks and logs, around ponds and streams, and on the edges of woodlands. Just keep in mind that if you are lucky enough to
find some, most of Iowa’s herps are protected and it’s illegal to capture or kill them. Feel free to take pictures though. Birds – Spring migration is one of the better times to go birding, since many species are decked out in colorful plumage and migration tends to be less spread out, but fall can be an excellent time to birdwatch as well. Be sure to bring binoculars and a field guide and wear earth-toned clothing. Try to learn “field marks” before going out, like bird shapes, sizes, types of bills, and markings (around eyes, wings, breasts, tail, and crown, for example) or join experienced bird watchers for help in discerning important features and calls. Don’t be discouraged if it takes time to learn. Stop by Lime Creek Nature Center to pick up a checklist of Cerro Gordo County birds today.
Insects – There are more species of insects in the world than any other type of animal, so they definitely sport a challenge for those wishing to identify them Many collectors keep an observation notebook, including information like the collection date, location, habitat, and the collector’s name. All you need to get started is a tweezer (to pick them up), containers to hold small insects, a jar with alcohol and a paper towel (if you plan to collect them), and a net. Mammals – Most mammals are nocturnal and secretive, so it might be a bit of a challenge to spot them, but that makes it all the more fun. To increase your odds, try to learn to identify tracks and scat so you know what to look for in the area. You don’t need any special equipment, but camouflaged clothing, a field guide and binoculars might help you out. Early morning and late after-
noon are the best times to search, so go ahead- put it on your schedule. Virtual Geocaching Cerro Gordo County Conservation Board provides a “virtual geocaching” program. Rather than looking for a cache, you search for a specific landmark, feature, park sign, etc. on a county area. GPS coordinates and clues are available for landmarks. Successful location of landmarks can be verified at Lime Creek Nature Center during business hours, or by mail, or email. Find landmarks online at www. co.cerro-gordo.ia.us; then go to departments, conservation, conservation menu, virtual geocaching. Good luck. There are still quite a few activities to enjoy on our county areas this fall, so pack some hot chocolate, grab a jacket, and let’s get exploring!

ooler temperatures, beautiful changing leaves and the familiar scent of pumpkin pie spice are all signs of fall. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hosting a pumpkin carving party or decorating sweet treats with family, celebrate the season with maple-flavored leaf-shaped cookies, pumpkin patch cupcakes and hot apple cider. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crisp air seems to inspire us all to start baking again,â&#x20AC;? said McCormick Executive Chef Kevan Vetter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Create an autumn frosting palate with our new Color from Nature Food Colors, which are made from ingredients such as beets and turmeric. You can combine the trio of starter colors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; berry, sunflower and sky blue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to make everything from a maroon glaze for an Autumn Leaf Cookie to orange frosting for a Pumpkin Patch Cupcake.â&#x20AC;? The Color from Nature Food Colors can be used in icing, beverages and other no-bake recipes for best results.
