Occupation: Farmer 1. Why are you running for reelection to the District 4 State Senate seat? I am running for re-election because I desire to defend our Federal Constitution by promoting religious liberty and championing our Second Amendment right to protect ourselves. I believe in and want to defend the right to life of all innocent human beings from conception to natural death. I feel strongly in reducing the size of government to protect our tax dollars as well as eliminating the red tape that kills jobs and hurts small businesses. I believe it is essential to protect our state’s rights from an increasingly powerful, invasive, and out-of-touch government. I want to defend Iowa’s “Right to Work” law to keep our economy moving and to protect jobs. What are your qualifications? I have been married to my wife Margaret for 38 years. We have five adult children and 9 grandchildren, seven of which live in this district. I graduated from Iowa State University with a B.S. in Agricultural Mechanization have farmed outside Klemme for 39 years. I served in many local organizations and the state board of The Family Leader prior to running for the Iowa Senate in 2012. I was elected to the Iowa Senate in 2012 and have enjoyed serving four years in that position. 2. What do you believe should be the goals and/or priorities for the 2017 GUTH to page 15

Occupation: Speech language pathologist 1 Why are you running for election to the District 4. State Senate seat? What are your qualifications? I’m running because I want to make life better for my fellow Iowans. I want to restore common sense to state government and work collaboratively with other lawmakers. I’d like to focus on bringing more good paying jobs to Iowa and supporting education: K-12, community colleges, and our state universities. My qualifications: I worked full time as a speech language pathologist for the area education agency for 30 years, currently work part time. I also worked part time as speech pathologist for Kossuth Regional Health Center. I was a small business owner for five years.

gleadernews@qwestoffice.net GARNER – Mollie Hueneman likes to read. She also likes to share her love of books and reading with others. So, when Hueneman learned about the “Little Free Library” organization on the Internet she signed up and became the first charter member in Garner. “Little Free Library” boxes are appearing in neighborhoods throughout the U.S. According to the non-profit organization’s website (www.littlefreelibrary.org), as of June of 2016, there are over 40,000 registered Little Free Libraries box exchanges in all 50 states in over 70 countries. “Take a book, return a book” is the heart of the exchange. The book boxes come in all sorts shapes and sizes. Many have a touch of whimsy. Participants can build their own or they can be purchased through the website. The rules are simple and function on the honor system. Anyone may contribute or take books. While you do not need to return that exact book, you are asked to contribute a book (or books) in exchange. After checking first with city hall, Mollie set up her library Sept. 1 on the corner of her lot at 715 Maben Ave. Lance and Alicia Hejlik designed and built the library. “I can tell that people have been in it by things being moved around, but

book you leave, just a book to keep the library stocked.” Mollie posted her library on her Facebook page and the comments have been positive. Kids are excited to come and check it out, she reports. “I like to read. It doesn’t matter what, as long as I can get lost in the book, whether it be a fantasy book and love story, or action packed thriller about solving a murder,” she said. “I just finished re-reading the Harry Potter series again, I have read the twilight series a few times. I enjoy authors Janet Evonavich, Liane Moriarty, EL James, Ransom Riggs, Ellen Hopkins, Suzanne Collins to name a few.” Ten years ago, Mollie turned her formal dining room into a library – filling shelf after shelf with books. “I wanted my kids to have access to anything they may need for a book report, history lesson, English paper.” “I love to read, and I wanted to be able to share this with anyone who may possibly have the same passion,” she continued. “Sometimes for unforeseen reasons, and child may not have access to a library. This is the reason for my Little Free Library. Because no child or adult for that matter should ever be denied the chance to escape into another world while reading a book, even if it is just for a few minutes at a time.” 514 West Lake, Ventura Mike and Christie McGuire have set BOOKS to page 2

KANAWHA – The appointment of a new, part-time police officer was just one of the topics discussed at the Kanawha City Council meeting on October 11. Sonny Bruns was appointed parttime officer as assistance to police chief Tony Rasmussen. “We have one currently, but our current chief is not always available, so it was nice to have a part-time officer to help out,” councilperson Judy VanderPloeg said.

The Kanawha Community Pool was also allotted $3,000 to go toward its yearly insurance and operating costs. Additionally, the council approved $200 that will be used for an ice skating rink at the baseball diamond park, an idea the group had a year ago but could not get finished in time for winter. “We were hoping to have it, but we didn’t do it in time for the cold weather,” VanderPloeg said. “We had checked into getting some heavy duty

Duffy Hudson amazes with one-man Poe show

offering, this writer randomly selected a passerby to inquire as to whether they’d be willing to offer their thoughts. Her name was Betsy Moretensen, a resident of Britt for the past 25 years. “I have the same feeling every time,” Mortensen said. “I want to keep coming back and I keep bringing new fans with me. (Hudson’s) great.” Mortensen mentioned that she had seen “Every one of (Hudson’s) performances,” and the more she spoke, the more this writer’s suspicions arose. Betsy Mortensen was the woman Hudson nearly hit with his car many moons ago. Hudson made his way over and offered her a hug, to which Mortensen declared him her “hit and run friend.” Just one of those magical “things” that seem to follow Hudson around. For the next 10 days, Hudson will travel around Iowa doing various performances including Poe and George Burns. As Poe, Hudson revealed a “bonedeep memory of (Poe’s mother’s) presence.” Those who witnessed “The Shadow of the Raven” surely feel the same way about Duffy Hudson.

It was as though the audience were presented with an opportunity to peer through a window from another time, to catch a glimpse of something it wasn’t supposed to see. When award-winning actor Duffy Hudson made his way between the rows of seats to the main performance area of the Britt Public Library on October 13, he did more than recite selected stories from Edgar Allan Poe, he had become that window. Hudson noted that “Good acting is (the viewer) taking the journey with me,” and truer words were never spoken. Hudson was like a human tractor beam that pulled the audience in from the moment he appeared in a disheveled costume, one shirt-flap untucked, looking as though he had just stumbled home from a dark tavern where an attempt to drown his sorrows had failed. Hudson squinted, struggling to focus with the murky demons lingering within Poe’s mind and delivered a first person account from Poe’s background with exasperation. From the loss of Poe’s mother, foster mother and wife to the Red Death of tuberculosis to a strained relationship with his foster father and a less than ideal job interview at the White House. The anger, pain and despair of Poe were palpable. Hudson’s performance perfectly captured the paranoia and desperation of a man who was “helplessly, hopelessly lost.” Hudson estimates that he has performed the one-man Poe show about 1,200 times, and insists that the passion and energy are “in the words.” BOOKS from page 1 up a Little Free Library at the end of their driveway at 514 West Lake, Ventura. “We had seen a few of them around while traveling and thought it was a great idea,” explained Christie. “Prior to moving to Ventura in 2013 we had lived on an acreage outside of Garner and didn’t think it would work as well on the gravel country road.

“At first, we didn’t know how it would be received, especially with the rather bold color scheme but several people have commented that the design and colors are their favorite parts.” “We know the house is visited on a regular basis by the number of books that are borrowed and more so by the new books that are put into it by visitors on a regular basis. We have even had a few people donate entire boxes of books to help keep it going.” McGuire added, “It seems like with such busy lives there’s never as much time as you’d like for reading but when we do get the chance we enjoy a wide variety of things from fiction to ‘how to’ books.” More about how the Little Free Library organization and how to locate one near you is available on their website.

Election House Calls. integrity Bringing healthcare to you.

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate released the following statement Monday afternoon: “I take the integrity of our elections very seriously. It is my number one priority. As the state’s Commissioner of Elections, I can assure you Iowa’s elections are not rigged. My pledge to every Iowan is that you will be able to cast your vote and your vote will count.” “Iowa is one of the best states in the nation for both voter participation and voter integrity. Participation and integrity are not mutually exclusive. We work on a bipartisan basis every day with Republicans and Democrats, and all 99 county auditors, to maintain the integrity of the vote. I will do everything in my power to ensure Iowa’s elections remain clean and fair.”

How important is getting a mammogram? Mammography is reported to be the single most effective method of early breast cancer detection, since it can identify cancer several years before physical symptoms develop. When breast cancer is detected early, women can begin treatment earlier in the course of the disease, possibly before it has spread, and may have access to more treatment options. In the midst of recent debate in the medical community over when women should begin routine mammograms, the American Cancer Society (ACS) stands by its recommendation

that annual mammograms for healthy women should start at age 40. Although many women are concerned about radiation exposure, the dose required for a mammogram is very small and radiation exposure is minimal. Mammography does, however, have limitations. Not all breast cancers will be detected by a mammogram, and some that are detected may still have a poor prognosis. In spite of these limitations, the benefits of a screening mammography far outweigh the risks for many women. To schedule a mammogram with HCHS, call 641-843-5190.

Super Hero Rundown I was planning on doing a column of the noteworthy new shows on the air for this fall’s television season, but having already looked at “MacGyver,” “Lethal Weapon,” and “The Exorcist,” there honestly aren’t enough new arrivals left to make a column out of. So instead, let’s check in on the state of comic book adaptations this week. It’s hard to believe that less than a decade ago superheroes on television were a rarity. For the longest time, the closest we had was a Superman series that refused to put Superman in a costume. Now look at the TV landscape. Four color characters as far as the eye can see. Starting with… Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. After years of holding back, “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” has finally started doing what people expected them from the start. They’ve got Marvel super-heroes on the show. Not long ago Marvel Studios regained the rights to Ghost Rider from Sony. After two failed movies with Nicholas Cage starring as Johnny Blaze, the most famous incarnation of the character, people have been waiting to see what Marvel Studios would do with the property. (My money was on a Netflix original) The TV version of Ghost Rider is Johnny Blaze, but is instead Robbie Reyes, a very recent addition to the lore. (And I only just now realized those names rhyme.) With only a single 12 issue run to his name, there isn’t a lot to the character, making it easier to flesh out on-screen. There’s already talk of Ghost Rider getting his own spin-off series, but this show has already failed to launch a spin-off once so I wouldn’t hold my breath. Arrow Time has not been kind to “Arrow.” It may be the progenitor of the CW’s DC’s television universe, but the show has been in a perpetual identity crisis since its second season. Once upon a time, “Arrow” was about a lone vigilante facing off

against corrupt businessmen and realistically re-imagined Batman villains. Lately though, nearly everybody on the cast is either a vigilante or working with one. This season there appears to be a shake-up with the cast, introducing a new wave of vigilantes to the mix. I’m not sure that’s what the show needs, but I’ll keep watching anyway. The Flash “The Flash” may be a spin-off, but it’s safe to say that it’s surpassed “Arrow” in quality. Who would have thought that The Flash would become TV’s most popular super-hero? In the third season of The Flash, it seems that Barry Allen is still messing around with alternate realities. No telling yet who the big-bad of the season is going to be, though one can hope we won’t have three consecutive seasons of Barry going up against another speedster and struggling to get even faster. D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow Being super-hero shows, “The Flash” and “Arrow” have built up quite the roster of secondary characters. Rather than shelve them in limbo, The CW has given some of the more popular characters a show of their own. (Including Iowa’s own Brandon Routh, who once played Superman and is currently The Atom.) It’d be easy to write off “Legends of Tomorrow” as a B-Team show, but their time travel high jinks were pretty entertaining for their first season and I don’t see them slowing down for the second. Supergirl “Supergirl” had a solid first season on CBS, but it apparently wasn’t getting the ratings it needed. Fortunately, Greg Berlanti, who is the

show runner for three previously mentioned shows, found a home for Supergirl on The CW. Moving production from Los Angeles to Vancouver might have cut costs, but it also comes with a price. Specifically, the downgrading of Calista Flockhart from the main cast to a recurring character. Still, there is an upside. After a season of off-screen teases, Superman has finally made a full appearance. The new location will also make crossovers with other CW shows easier, so expect fair number of team-ups in the future. Gotham Over on Fox, “Gotham” remains the most interesting show with the least interesting main character on TV. The drama around Jim Gordon’s journey to becoming the Police Commissioner we know and love isn’t particularly compelling, fortunately the wacky antics of the Penguin, Riddler, and the increasing number of super-criminals more than makes up for it. Outside of super hero fare, there’s also “Lucifer” and “iZombie” drawing inspiration from comic books. Later this season we’ll also see “Powerless,” an NBC comedy about insurance adjusters in the DC universe; and “Riverdale” a CW teen drama based on “Archie Comics.” Not a bad line-up, all things considered. The inner kid in me will never stop being amazed that there’s a super-hero show for every night of the week.

I’d hate to own a bumper sticker company right now. “None of the above” just doesn’t cut it when we are struggling to be positive. I’ve shied away from the presidential election in this column because my optimistic side wants to believe it doesn’t matter. If you’ve used my short reading list (The Law, 1850) you’ll know that Frederic Bastiat rightly points out that in a nation with law, elections should be of little consequence because law applied in its proper use restricts government to preserving the rights of individuals as long as there is no right taken from someone else to that end. All the other functions of society can best be guided by free association in a free market. The reason the presidential election has become so prevalent in the news is because there is so much at stake in this “advance auction sale of stolen goods,” as H.L. Mencken describes elections. People seem flabbergasted that out of 320 million Americans we are now faced with choosing between The Donald and Hill. There are actually 1,910 people (I assume they are people) who have filed with the Federal Election Commission. But the media only sees fit to present two for our perusal. I guess there might be one out of the 1,910 who is literate and would stand by his oath, but with all the loot that’s at stake in this auction there is not much chance we will ever know who that is. Since government has evolved into a force of theft (democracy), the

good people have decided to stay out of it. They are productive in the private sector instead of sticking their noses into other peoples’ business. They don’t see a need for forcing people to buy “alternative” energy that the market has determined to be too expensive. They don’t see a need to tell other countries how to run their own affairs and they don’t see a need to tell people here at home how to live their lives either. But politicians truly believe that bureaucrats and committees can manage society better than an aggregate of millions of personal choices. They believe totalitarianism can provide greater prosperity than freedom. That ignorance of economic principles is what drives them to seek public office. And the belief that productive endeavors further the good things in society better than government edict is what keeps the good people out of the political realm and on the job. I haven’t watched any of the “debates” because my time is too valuable, but the word is that a school yard brawl is more civil and productive and the debates only reflect on the unsuitability of the candidates and the socalled moderators. But maybe these people are exceptionally suited to an office that has evolved from executing constitutionally legislated law to crime boss.

Under the Golden Dome Too By State Representative Linda Upmeyer House District 54 / Speaker of the House linda.upmeyer@legis.state.ia.us (515) 281-4618

Budgeting principles protect taxpayers Farmers are spending hours in their fields, the leaves are changing colors, and the temperature outside continues to cool. Fall is certainly here! The Revenue Estimating Conference (REC) met last week to issue their latest revenue projections for the current budget year as well as the next. The REC is made up of three members, one from the nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency, one from the State Department of Management, and David Underwood (of Clear Lake) who represents the private sector. The REC reviews several economic indicators like the agricultural economy, the labor market, consumer spending, and many other factors. After reviewing this data, the REC projects how much revenue the state stands to collect in tax revenue. At their meeting, the REC made revenue projections for the current fiscal year (FY17), which began on July 1, and the next fiscal year (FY18) which begins July 1, 2017. The REC revised the FY17 forecast down by $71.9 million compared to the March estimate, projecting that the state will collect $7.308 billion this fiscal year. FY18 also saw a reduction, though slightly smaller, of $52 million, projecting total revenue of $7.607 billion next year. The REC largely attributed the reductions to the weakening state of the agricultural economy. Commodity prices are significantly lower than the cost of production, and that has caused many farmers and small businesses to reevaluate their spending plans for the coming year. This has caused a ripple effect in many other industries that rely on the agricultural economy to perform well. Going forward, we will need to find ways to make our REC forecasts more reliable. For the past few years, the REC has made revenue estimates that end up being revised upwards or downwards quite dramatically. The legislature needs data that we can depend on when putting together the state’s budget to guard against dramatic cuts when the economy isn’t grow-

ing as fast as projected. Fortunately, Iowa has been able to weather unreliable budget forecasts over the last few years thanks to House Republicans’ responsible budgeting principles. Over the last six years, House Republicans have built the state budget using four common sense principles: We will spend less than the state collects; we won’t use one-time funding to pay for ongoing needs; we won’t balance the budget by intentionally underfunding state programs; and we will return unused tax dollars back to the hardworking taxpayers of Iowa These are the same budgeting principles that Iowa families and businesses use every day. Government should be no different. Had the Legislature spent to the levels that Democrats were pushing last session, the state would be in a very difficult financial position. We all remember the days of Chet Culver where state spending wasn’t in line with ongoing revenue for a number of years. Those days culminated with across-the-board cuts to education and many services that Iowans count. House Republicans’ responsible approach to budgeting has allowed us to invest in Iowa’s priorities. We’ve been able to put more money into our K-12 schools, Regent universities, and community colleges. We’ve invested in public safety, courts, and healthcare. We’ve also been able to return more money back to the pockets of Iowa’s taxpayers through a handful of tax relief packages over the last six years. House Republicans will continue a path of responsible budgeting so that small businesses have certainty and families can keep more of their hardearned money. As always, please keep in touch. I look forward to traveling the district and much of the state continuing to visit with Iowans over the coming months. If you would like to touch base in the meantime, you can reach me at linda.upmeyer@legis.iowa.gov or 515-281-3521.

Author of ‘Orphan NIACC Performing Arts Train’ to be at NIACC Presents Peter Rabbit

Christina Baker Kline author of Orphan Train, will be at the North Iowa Community Auditorium on the NIACC campus at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2016. This presentation is part of the 2016-2017 Performing Arts and Leadership Series. “Christina Baker Kline’s Orphan Train makes for compulsive reading– this is a story of resilience in the face of tremendous odds and oppressive loneliness. Meticulously researched and yet full of the breath of life, Kline’s novel takes us on an historical journey where survival depends upon one’s own steely backbone, and the miracle of a large and generous heart.” Helen Schulman Between 1854 and 1929, so-called orphan trains ran regularly from the cities of the East Coast to the farmlands

of the Midwest, carrying thousands of abandoned children whose fates would be determined by pure luck. Would they be adopted by a kind and loving family, or would they face a childhood and adolescence of hard labor and servitude? Moving between contemporary Maine and Depression-era Minnesota, Orphan Train is a powerful tale of upheaval and resilience, second chances, and unexpected friendship. To learn more about the NIACC Common read visit www.niacc.edu/ common-read, or watch a video at www.niacc.edu/palvideos.

Enchantment Theatre’s Peter Rabbit Tales will be presented at the North Iowa Community Auditorium on the NIACC campus at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2016. This presentation is part of the 2016-2017 Performing Arts and Leadership Series and part of the NIACC Literature to Life School Series. Many of Enchantment Theatre’s productions are fable-based, and the extraordinary catalogue of children’s literature has been a remarkable treasure chest filled with tales that are particularly well suited to their mission. In that regard, no author (and illustrator) is more valuable than Beatrix Potter and her remarkable creation, Peter Rabbit. Peter is the

GARNER from page 1 The ordinance, however, also includes a provision, which states, “the operator shall not travel on or across U.S. Highway 18 or Iowa Highway 69 including any portion of their right of ways.” The Code of Iowa Chapter 3211.3(1), 3211.4(1) and 3211.10(3) is cited. Several local business persons have expressed a desire to use their utility vehicle in town for business purposes. Whether or not the vehicles can legally cross state highways was an issue that was discussed at previous council meetings. City administrator Randy Lansing has requested written confirmation concerning the DOT’s position on ATV’s crossing primary highways from Iowa DOT Director Paul Trombino. In a Sept. 30 email to Lansing that was included in the council’s packet of

information for the meeting, City Attorney Phil Garland said, “If [State DOT Director Paul Trombino] states that we cannot cross 18 and 69, then we need to make it crystal clear in the ordinance that travel is prohibited for even crossing those two roads.” The council passed the first reading of the ATV ordinance. Second and third readings of the proposed ATV/OUV ordinance will be held at the Oct. 25 and Nov. 8 council meetings. In other matters, the city will allow Willis Davison, 1080 Peddlestone, the option of excavating the storm sewer line on West 11th to allow him to connect his sump pump drain line to it. Other future requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Davison is concerned about water and ice build-up on the sidewalk and driveway during the winter. In the summer, the problem is water on the

sidewalk has saturated his lawn as well as the neighbor’s lawn and cannot be mowed. Other action by the Garner City Council was as follows: •Accepted a bid of $1,100 from Bergo Environmental for asbestos removal from the former Garner Café in preparation for demolition. •Approved a storm water management plan for Dan Ollenburg’s storage unit at 560 Cottonwood Drive. •Approved the purchase of flood insurance for the public works garage, 1220 Crown St. •Approved pay requests for $10,373.78 to Cornerstone Construction and change orders for $456 and

Program helps Iowa caregivers plan for long-term ﬁnancial security As the state’s older population continues to increase, many Iowans eventually will be providing some level of care for an elderly parent or relative. Although taking on that caregiving role may have an emotional benefit, it also may have a negative financial impact, if the caregiver has to take time off from paid work or quit working altogether. That’s why Iowa State University Extension and Outreach along with North Iowa Area Community College are piloting “Finances of Caregiving,” a program to help Iowans protect their own long-term financial security as they plan for taking on a caregiving role. Caregiving has financial risks, said Suzanne Bartholomae, a family finance state extension specialist and

adjunct associate professor in human development and family studies. “Family caregivers absorb many costs and may have reduced income and retirement savings as a result of their caregiving responsibilities. One research study found that caregivers spent an average of $8,000 of their own money on long-term care-related expenses. Iowa caregivers can protect their own financial security through planning and understanding their options,” Bartholomae said. That’s where “Finances of Caregiving” comes in. The ISU Extension and Outreach family finance team created this five-week program that is specific to Iowa laws, policies and programs. In the first lesson, participants begin to document their own financial situation. They also take a look at the finances of the person for whom they are or will be providing care, to see what resources might be available to pay for that care. Next, participants begin to organize legal documents for the person receiving care, so that as the caregiver they can make necessary financial and medical decisions. They also can lay the groundwork to be paid for providing care, if resources are available.

As the program continues, participants examine the financial implications of caregiving that specifically will affect their retirement. In addition, they learn about communication techniques they can use with their families when discussing these difficult issues. “Some people think they can’t get it all done, but you work at your own pace,” Schmitt said. The first session of Finances of Caregiving begins at 6 p.m. in Britt at the Library on Oct. 24 or Lake Mills Public Library on Oct. 25. The remaining 4 classes will meet on Tuesday evenings (November 1, 8, 15 and 22) either at the originally listed locations or on line. Each class is 90 minutes long, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. To register, call NIACC at 1-888466-4222 ext 4358.

Aspen Hills expands ice cream cookie dough recall

Public urged to be LifeServers by donating blood

DES MOINES, Iowa – Blood is all you need to save lives in your community this month. Ninety percent of Americans experience the need for blood in their lifetime, but less than 10 percent of the population donates regularly. A regular blood donation only takes an hour and can save the lives of up to three local hospital patients! You’ve got what it takes – all you need is blood! Be a LifeServer! Give blood at the Kanawha Community Blood Drive on Tuesday, November 1, from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Kanawha Fire Station, 104 S. Main St. Those willing to donate can also schedule a blood donation appointment online at lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 800287-4903. LifeServe Blood Center was established in April 2010. As one of the 15 largest blood centers in the country, LifeServe Blood Center provides blood and blood products to more than 100 hospitals located across Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota.

GARNER – Aspen Hills, a manufacturer of cookie dough, has initiated a voluntary recall of a limited quantity of ready-to-eat cookie dough products because of potential exposure to Listeria monocytogenes. The company issued the recall on Oct. 9. There have been no reports of illness, to date. Statement from company spokesperson Jon Austin read, “There’s no evidence of any such exposure – to the contrary, our lab results for all of our products are negative for L-mono and we have no reports of any illness attributable to this product – but we are acting out of an abundance of caution because a thorough review of our manufacturing environment has revealed instances where we may not have met our food safety standards.” “Some of the issues that were identified included inadequate documentation of protocol, failure to wear proper uniforms and the possibility of cross-contamination. Other issues involved the failure of our personnel to consistently follow our standard operating procedures.” The statement continues, “Any one of these issues is a matter we would take seriously, but collectively they represent to us an unacceptable lapse in the standards our customers – and we – expect.” “Accordingly, we chose to err on the side of caution and initiate a voluntary recall of a limited quantity of our product. We did so knowing that

such an action is disruptive and unwelcome for the customers who are directly affected, but also with the knowledge that all of our customers share our commitment to the safety of those who consume our products.” Austin said the recall affects only the ready-to-eat cookie dough produced between July 15 and Sept. 30. The product involved went to approximately 27 customers, “All other products – such as our cookie dough products for baking – are not a part of the recall.” Austin said the company coordinated the recall with the FDA. Wells Enterprises, Inc., based in LeMars, Iowa, has recalled two lots of the company’s Blue Bunny Hoppin’ Holidoodle ice cream that contained snickerdoodle cookie dough pieces recalled by Aspen Hills. A company announcement posted on the FDA website says LOT 60001 MM 19115 6228 and LOT 60001 MM 19115 6229 were distributed in Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arizona, and Texas. Texas-based Blue Bell Ice Cream has also expanded their recall of all ice cream products that were made with a cookie dough ingredient supplied by Aspen Hills. The products were made from Feb. 2, 2016 through Sept. 7, 2016. The announcement from Blue Bell on the FDA website says the products were distributed in following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

GHV’s Carlie Knutson gets a kill for the Cards during their win over West Fork.

The GHV volleyball team won their own tournament on Saturday.

GHV wins Cardinal Tournament title Regular season action concluded for the GHV volleyball team last week and the year ended with a great momentum-builder for the Cards. After dropping a three-set match at Clarion on Tuesday, the Cardinals rebounded on Saturday to win their own tournament title. GHV’s match at Clarion was not what Cardinal coach Kelsey Steffens was hoping to see with the post-season regionals rapidly approaching. The Cowboys pulled away in set one for a 25 – 20 win and then rolled over the Cards 25 – 13 and 25 – 14 for the match win. Hannah Lau and Mackenzie Van Gerpen recorded eight and six kills respectively to lead GHV at the net. Carlie Knutson added ﬁve kills with 14 digs while Bailee Frayne and Lydia Seelhammer were credited with 10 and seven assists respectively. GHV’s tournament on Saturday featured

some of the top area teams in an eight-team competition. The Cardinals placed second in their four-team pool to qualify for bracket play. GHV prevailed in the semi-finals and then followed with an exciting win in the finals to earn the team title. The Cardinals’ first opponent of the day was no slouch as GHV faced 13th-ranked (2A) Central Springs. The Cards gained the upper hand early with a 21 – 17 win in the first set but the Panthers responded with a 21 – 14 win in game two. The deciding set was close all the way with GHV picking up a 17 – 15 win. Hannah Lau and Mackenzie Van Gerpen each recorded nine kills to lead the Cardinal offense. Taylor Gerdes scored four kills while Bailee Frayne was credited with 18 assists. Defensively, Van Gerpen recorded a dozen digs followed by Carlie Knutson with nine, Lau

with five and Jacki Van Oort with five. GHV faced Newman Catholic in their second match of the day. The Knights had been struggling all season and the Cardinals were able to comfortably earn a two-set match win. The Knights stayed relatively close in the first set with GHV winning 21 – 18 but the Cards pulled away for a 21 – 15 win in game two. Lau and Van Gerpen scored seven kills apiece with Frayne picking up six assists and Lydia Seelhammer adding four. West Fork is another strong team from the east side of the TIC and the Warhawks were able to win the pool by taking two straight sets from GHV. Both sets were very close with West Fork winning 21 – 18 in the first game and 21 – 19 in game two. Lau and Van Gerpen scored eight kills apiece to lead GHV at the net. Frayne finished the

match with 18 assists while Knutson led the defensive effort with seven digs. The Cardinals faced Northwood-Kensett in their semi-final match. The Vikings fell behind early with GHV posting a 21 – 10 win in the first set. Northwood rebounded to make game two very close but the Cards prevailed 22 – 20. Lau led GHV with 10 kills and Van Gerpen added six kills. Frayne finished the match with 17 assists while Van Gerpen led the defense with a dozen digs. Van Oort added six digs to the win while Knutson, Lau and Fede Monteleone were all credited with four. In the tournament finals GHV was looking to avenge their prior loss to West Fork. The Warhawks appeared to be on the way to the title after winning game one 21 – 10 but GHV responded with a 21 – 12 win in game two. The momentum stayed with GHV in the third set

Late surge pushes New Hampton past GHV

game clock. GHV had one last shot at moving downfield for the winning drive, but the Chickasaw defense denied the Cardinals any shot at scoring. The Cardinals featured a balanced rushing attack in the game as Nick Joynt led the team with 74 yards on 15 carries. Conner Shaw lugged the ball 20 times for 60 yards while Chase Theobald added 33 yards on two carries. New Hamptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense neutralized the Cardinal passing attack as Ryan Meyers completed only three of seven passes for 16 yards. Joynt finished with a pair of receptions for 17 yards. On the defensive side of the ball, GHV held a potent Chickasaw running game to 104 yards on the night but their passing game proved to be too much. New Hampton finished the game completing eight of 24 passes for 116 yards. Joynt led the defensive unit with six solo tackles and two assists followed by Theobald with three solos and six assists. Grady Umbarger added two solos and four assists and Jace Pringnitz added a solo and six assists. Cardinal coach Scott Van Dusseldorp commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more proud of our team. They played with heart and fought a great fight. Next week we will be playing for pride and I have no doubt that these young men will play as hard as if they were playing for a playoff spot.â&#x20AC;? The Cardinals are now 5 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 overall and 3 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 in Class 2A district play. They will conclude the season this week at Osage. Selected statistics from Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against New Hampton follow.

THE

GHV found themselves in a must-win football game last week and for the first three quarters of the contest the Cardinals appeared to be headed to post-season play. A big momentum shift in the fourth quarter led to a pair of Chickasaw touchdowns that proved to be the difference in the game. After trading punts to begin the game, GHV assembled what proved to be their only touchdown drive of the night. Midway through the first quarter the Cardinals moved from midfield to the end zone on a six-play drive to the goal line. Chase Theobald scored the touchdown on a 33-yard scamper to put the Cards ahead 6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0. The two-point PAT attempt failed but GHV had the upper hand at 6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0. New Hampton threatened to score on their first possession of the second quarter. The Chickasaws marched 78 yards on 11 plays, penetrating deep into Cardinal territory. GHVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense rose to the occasion on a fourth down play inside the five-yard line to thwart the scoring threat. The game became a battle between two stingy defenses for the remainder of the first half. With neither team able to mount a scoring drive, intermission arrived with GHV still clinging to a 6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0 lead. The defensive stalemate continued into the second half with neither team able to move into scoring position. The Cardinals finally gained the advantage late in the third quarter with a drive that penetrated into New Hamptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s red zone. With fourth down and three yards to go from the Chickasaw nine-yard line, GHV elected to kick a field goal. Connor Burke split the uprights from 26 yards out, pushing the lead to 9 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0 and seemingly putting GHV in the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat. New Hampton responded with a scoring drive on their ensuing possession, making the game even more exciting. The Chickasaws moved 66 yards on nine plays, mixing their running game with an effective passing offense that produced a nine-yard scoring run. The PAT kick failed, closing the gap to 9 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 6.

ANSGAR – The West Hancock football team traveled to top-ranked St. Ansgar and stormed back from a 21-6 deficit to make it 21-20 in the fourth quarter, but a late touchdown gave St. Ansgar a 28-20 victory and its third consecutive district title. The Eagles had their six-game winning streak snapped, but finished second and qualified for the playoffs. Due to technical difficulties, the story was unable to be retrieved and will run in full in the October 26 edition of The Leader. GARNER – Though they did not emerge with a victory in three matches, the West Hancock volleyball team closed out its regular season at the Garner-Hayfield/Ventura tournament

with its best volleyball of the season. The Eagles fell to Northwood-Kensett 21-14, 23-25, 21-6, Northern Iowa 21-14, 21-9 and Rockford 2118, 21-21. WHHS will travel to West Bend-Mallard for the first round of the playoffs on October 18.

MASON CITY – Kaylee Hudspeth and Natalie Lemmon and six middle school runners established personal records at the Top of Iowa conference meet held at North Iowa Area Community College on October 13. Rachel Leerar placed 11th for the middle schoolers. Due to technical difficulties, the story was unable to be retrieved and will run in full in the October 26 edition of The Leader.

Brown sets personal record for West Hancock cross country Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom

FOREST CITY – Austin Brown demolished his personal record to lead the West Hancock High School cross country team at the Forest City Cross Country meet on October 10. Brown knocked 90 seconds off of his previous best time in the 3.1-mile run, finishing with a time of 19:56. “Austin did an amazing job and reached a goal of running under 20 minutes,” West Hancock head coach Holly Lang said. While Brown was thriving for the boys, the girls “ran very well,” too according to Lang. Kaylee Hudspeth BANGERT from page 1 to sit down with Democrats, Republicans, farmers, environmentalists, and everyone else involved with this issue to come up with a bi-partisan, longterm solution that works for everyone and doesn’t place undue burden on our farmers. •Funding for education: Giving our kids a great education should be one of the most important functions of government. Iowa has been a leader in public schools, but if we don’t support them, we can’t keep it up. The state legislature must start paying schools the money they need to operate on time. By not allowing the districts to know when or how much they will be paid, it makes it more difficult to plan effective programs for their students. We need to increase funding in order to support vital programs. 1.25% increase in allowable growth is enough to keep our schools open this year, but in five years, many schools in District 4 will be bankrupt. As State Senator, I will fight to support our schools, our students, and our teachers, so that we can prepare the next generation of Iowans for life and give them the skills they will need to get good jobs. •Medicaid/health care/mental health issues: Both Medicaid and our mental health system are in crisis, and both are examples of Governor Branstad putting the cart in front of the horse. With the Governor’s unilateral privatization of Medicaid, we have seen the makings of a disaster. This process was done without legislative approval, and was rushed into reality. Now we have patients having trouble getting the healthcare they need, and medical providers (doctors, clinics, and others) having to close because the corporations running the program aren’t reimbursing them. With the closing of two of the state’s four mental institutions, Governor Branstad again acted without legislative involvement. As a result, Iowa now ranks 49th in the country in mental health beds. This is leaving vulnerable Iowans out in the cold, because the alternatives the Governor has proposed aren’t actually available today. As a State Senator, I will fight to make sure the legislature has a stronger voice, so that no Governor can cause these kinds of problems to Iowa’s healthcare system, or anything else. Every Iowan deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare, whether they face mental or physical illness. I will fight to fix these two broken systems, so that this can be a reality. •Jobs and economic development incentives: Iowa has a great opportunity to be a leader in the 21st century economy. Our clean energy industry is already leading the way. We produce more wind energy per capita than any other state – 30 percent of our power comes from wind, and we also lead the way in ethanol production. We are an innovative, hard working people-the envy of many states. The key to bring great jobs to our region is by making sure Iowans are prepared to take the jobs. We need to

completed the course at 23:58 and Natalie Lemmon crossed the finish line at 28:23. The middle school athletes had a fine showing, as well, paced by Rachel Leerar’s jaunt of 10:45, which was good for eighth place for the girls. “All six (middle schoolers) did very well,” Lang said. Grace Rosin completed her run at 12:12, followed by Noah Klaas (12:35), Paige Kudej (13:12), Riley Eden (14:12) and Chance Eden (15:35). The Eagles’ next competition will take place at North Iowa Area Community College on Thursday, October 13. invest in job training programs and expand public-private partnerships, like the programs offered at Iowa Lakes Community college that train Iowans for good – paying jobs in its wind energy program. This is what we need more of: common sense programs that benefit Iowa businesses, Iowa students and Iowa taxpayers. Another way to create jobs is to support our Iowa entrepreneurs with their start-ups through mentorship and education programs that provide advice, guidance and venture capital. We also have to make companies want to come to Iowa. Providing them an educated workforce is one the biggest parts of that, but we should also focus on building our communities so that companies want to be here. That means providing a healthy environment, with clean water and air, recreational trails, arts and culture, good schools and health care. •Eminent Domain - Far too often, eminent domain is used by private companies to enrich their company’s bottom line, instead of following the original purpose to use it only when it truly benefits the majority of people. The use of eminent domain needs to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure that it is truly in the public interest. •Public Safety - I know how important it is to keep our communities safe. My husband was an Algona police officer for 30 years and Chief of Police for 25 years. My son has served in the River Falls, WI Police Department for 6 years. Both of them are avid hunters and sportsmen-when my son was home last weekend he hunted in the morning, came back and hunted in the evening. My sisterin-law is also an avid hunter and an expert skeet shooter! A number of years ago, while on our way to celebrate Christmas with family in Kansas, my husband received a phone call that every police officer dreads: there was a fatal shooting in Algona and we needed to get back immediately. It turned out to be worse than that. A family member murdered his entire family with a carbine semi-automatic weapon. I am in favor of second amendment rights, but understand that sometimes it endangers public safety. This problem should not be a partisan issue, but a public safety issue that needs careful consideration on both sides as to what is best for the majority of Iowans. Law enforcement will have no bigger champion than me in Des Moines. I will also make sure they have all of the resources they need to keep us safe. 3. Other comments: There are a lot of issues that require us to come together in order to find solutions. As your State Senator, I will be an advocate for programs and policies that will solve problems. I want to be a State Senator who gets things done and makes the lives of my fellow Iowans better. It is not about what is best for my party or me-It is about what is best for IOWANS! I want to work across the aisle and come up with bi-partisan solutions to the challenges we face.

GHV girls place third at TIC race

In the final week of regular season action, the GHV girls’ cross-country team appeared to be peaking at the right time of the year. The Cardinal girls placed third in the team standings at Monday’s race at Forest City and then followed with a third-place finish at the TIC meet on Thursday. GHV was just four points out of second place at Forest City on Monday. Newman easily outclassed the field on the way to the title with 33 points followed by Bishop Garrigan with 92. GHV recorded a team score of 96 to edge St. Ansgar’s 98. GHV’s top four finishers at Forest City recorded personal record times in the race. Hannah Whelan led the way placing seventh overall in 21:33. Rebekah Larson was 12th in 22:18 followed by Nicole Upmeyer (18th, 22:39) and Rachel Sokol (25th, 23:16). Sadie Oulman completed the team total placing 34th in 24:02. Also running for GHV were Elixis Carrison (38th, 24:10), Mara Anderson (44th, 24:25), Jillian Heitland (45th, 24:25), Emma Whelan (46th, 24:32), Emily Howke

(50th, 24:52), Hannah Wellik (64th, 26:30), Taylor Boggs (78th, 28:26), Katie Oetken (82nd, 29:25), Kayla Leerar (89th, 30:44) and Teak Hennings (93rd, 33:21). Cardinal assistant coach Emberly Albertson is pleased with the progress made by the girls’ team in recent races. “The girls ran great at Forest City. We had 10 girls run their best times of the season with only a few meets to go. We have some “hungry” girls looking at cutting off more time to place higher in the conference and at the regional meet. Exciting things are happening as the season is coming to an end.” The Cardinal girls ran well as a team at Thursday’s TIC event. GHV scored 63 points against TIC West competitors to place third among those teams while finishing with 176 points to place sixth in the overall standings. Hannah Whelan was GHV’s top finisher, placing second in the TIC West race and 14th overall with a time of 21:39. Rebekah Larson recorded a personal record time of 22:13 on the way to placing third in the west division

individual standings and 23rd overall. Also scoring for GHV were Rachel Sokol (23:20, 17th, 47th), Nicole Upmeyer (23:38, 20th, 44th) and Sadie Oulman (23:41, 21st, 48 th). Completing the varsity roster for the Cards were Elixis Carrison (27 th, 60th, 24:39) and Mara Anderson (na, 72nd, 25:01). In junior varsity action Jillian Heitland led the Cardinals with a time of 23:42. Also running JV for GHV were Emma Whelan (25:20), Emily Howke (25:25), Hannah Wellik (27:15), Taylor Boggs (27:33), Katie Oetken (29:56) and Kayla Leerar (29:57). Coach Albertson noted that in addition to Larson running a personal record time, Sadie Oulman, Jillian Heitland and Kayla Leerar also improved their best times in this race. The Cardinals appear to be ready for this week’s Class 2A State Qualifying Meet to be held on Thursday at the Garner Golf Course.

Cardinal boys roll at TIC race

Another year, another conference cross-country title for the GHV boys’ squad. After winning the Class 2A title last season and sitting on top of the ratings this year, bringing home the TIC trophy may seem a bit anticlimactic, but nevertheless GHV’s enthusiasm peaked for last Thursday’s race. It was the second event of the week for the Cardinal runners as they also ran at Forest City on Monday. GHV finished fourth overall at Forest City on Monday, not bad considering that the Cardinals’ top runners were taking the day off to remain rested for Thursday’s race. Newman won the team title with 37 points followed by Forest City and Osage with 61 and 67. GHV’s team score on the day without their three top-twenty (Class 2A) competitors in the field was 91 points. The seven runners on the varsity roster were competing to fill the final two open slots for Thursday’s TIC race. Mason Wirtz secured one of those positions by leading GHV, placing 14th in 18:22. Tyler Oberman placed 17th in 18:34 followed by Dalton Kelly (19th, 18:46) and Nathan Larson (20th, 18:48). Andy Schreur completed the team score by placing 22nd in 18:51. Also running in the varsity race

for GHV were Lucas Rayhons (26th, 18:58) and Dalton Hawe (37th, 19:42). Cardinal assistant coach Emberly Albertson commented, “The boys ran great at Forest City. We had 14 boys run their best times of the season with only a few meets to go. This meet determined the last two runners to fill the varsity squad for the conference meet. Mason Wirtz and Tyler Obermann ran their way onto the varsity squad for the TIC meet.” In JV action, nine individuals completed the course in personal record times. Competing in that race for GHV were Seth Miller (19:48), Luke Brown (19:50), Patrick Carew (20:27), Andrew Dornbier (20:35), Braden Hess (20:46), Keegan Clark (21:14), Sam Childress (21:25), Austin Mohlis (21:31), Jordan Upmeyer (21:33), Drew Furst (21:49), Austin Case (22:34), McKinley Hawe (24;12), Luke Hansen (24:37) and Derek Neuberger (24:56). GHV entered Thursday’s TIC race hosted by NIACC as the clear favorite to win the title and the Cardinals easily lived up to those expectations. Against TIC West teams GHV finished 25 points ahead of the runner-up Eagle Grove. The winning margin was even greater when the two divisions were

GUTH from page 1 legislative session as they pertain to: •Agriculture and the environment: Agriculture is the backbone of Iowa’s economy. The environment affects us all so we must find responsible ways to enable Agriculture to do its part in improving water quality while allowing responsible production on our farms. University research can identify methods that make a positive impact on nutrient loads in our waterways. Some of those are more expensive than a farmer can afford. That is when government may step in with cost-share funds. Farmers should be able to choose what works for their farm. They know their farms best, and we want them to strive to make water quality improvements rather than just complying with the mandate. •Funding for education: Funding education should be established in a timely fashion. I co-sponsored SF 2041, a bill that would default State Supplemental Aid (SSA) to the average of the previous three years of inflation according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) when SSA isn’t set on time. To ensure responsible budgeting under the bill, SSA would be limited to no less than zero percent and no more than three percent. In years when the legislature is unable to come to agreement on what SSA should be, schools would automatically receive between zero and three percent SSA, allowing them to move forward with their own budgeting decisions. I also believe we should reduce inequities in funding across the state. SF 2104, which I co-sponsored, is an attempt to remove two of the largest inequities in school funding: cost per pupil and transportation costs. This legislation would allow any student to experience equal academic opportunities regardless of where they live. •Medicaid/health care/mental health issues: The recent privatization of Medicaid has been difficult and many have had trouble getting services. Many of these difficulties could have been avoided by: a slower transition to MCOs; moving the healthiest group to private first; working out the program bugs before including another group. I support the privatization of health care and mental health as a necessity to reducing abuse and contain costs. •Jobs and economic development incentives: A robust economy is the best and the only engine to drive growth in rural Iowa. We have many excellent

businesses providing great jobs in this district. We must not encumber them with more regulations that do nothing but create unproductive paperwork and expense. When businesses flourish, they invest in the community they are a part of and everyone benefits. I will strive to reduce the tax burden on the engine that drives our economy and eliminate as much of the red tape as I can. I also see Tax Increment Financing (TIF) as a tool that fits our area well. TIF allows the new tax revenue generated by a new business to be invested in infrastructure to support that business. I will support the continuation of TIF. •Eminent Domain: Property rights are a key element of our society and our nation’s exceptional success in the world. Property rights give the citizen an incentive to work and invest in infrastructure for the future. The taking of property through Eminent Domain should only happen when the greater good of the community is clearly at stake and the large majority of property has been voluntarily offered. Private entities should have very limited access to Eminent Domain. •Public Safety: It has been said that he who gives up some of his liberty in exchange for security will soon find he has neither. Public safety requires participation from all of us. The Second Amendment was written for this purpose and I am committed to defending it. 3. Other comments: I am running for a second term because I want to represent Biblical values in state government. My intent as a legislator is to propose or support legislation that will go to the root of our society’s woes rather than waste time and money on Band-Aids for the symptoms. I believe that when we encourage personal responsibility, we will have less need for government. For example, let’s give farmers the opportunity to decide how to best improve water quality on their farm rather than stifling initiative by forcing regulations on them. University research can help identify various methods that reduce nutrient loads on our waterways. Government can help fund the more expensive applications. Farmers chose what fits their farm and they have a stake in the outcome. When we take away responsibility for the outcomes of our actions, there can never be enough government to care for the needy or to punish those who take advantage of others.

combined with GHV scoring 32 points compared to runner-up Eagle Grove’s 78. Reece Smith literally ran away from the competition, completing the course in a personal record time of 15:59 to win the individual title. Logan Dalbeck finished in 16:41 to place second against TIC West competitors and third overall. Ray Cataldo was also a top-ten finisher, placing fourth in the TIC West standings and sixth overall with a time of 17:17. Austin Siegrist is peaking at the right time, recording a personal record time of 17:36 to finish seventh and tenth. Completing the team score was Derek Brown placing 10th and 16th overall in 18:08. Rounding out the varsity roster were Mason Wirtz (13th, 25th, 18:37) and Tyler Obermann (26th, 63rd, 19:50). The Junior Varsity race was completely dominated by GHV in both points and competitors. The Cardinals finished the JV team competition with 24 points with six runners finishing among the top-ten places. Racing in the JV race for GHV were Nathan Larson (18:46), Dalton Kelly (19:07), Lucas Rayhons (19:23), Andy Schreur (19:31), Seth Miller (19:50), Luke Brown (19:50), Braden Hess (20:57), Matt Heineman (21:04), Patrick Carew (21:05), Austin Case (21:15), Andrew Dornbier (21:20), Dalton Hawe (22:08), Drew Furst (22:21), Keegan Clark (22:31), Luke Hansen (22:31), Austin Mohlis (22:57), Sam Childress

(22:03), Jordan Upmeyer (23:08), McKinley Hawe (23:56) and Derek Neuberger (25:34). The TIC race gives the Cardinals great momentum as they head into this week’s state qualifying meet on Thursday. GHV has a unique privilege this year as they will host the Class 2A Qualifying Meet at the Garner Golf Course. Team scores from the Forest City race as well as the TIC competition follow.
