Baxter, Huisinga seek election to District 8 House of Representatives
Corwith man charged with kidnapping, domestic abuse CORWITH – A Corwith man has been charged with first degree kidnapping and one count of domestic abuse assault. R a n d y Dann, 45, of Corwith, is being held at the Hancock County Jail in lieu of Randy Dann $100,000 cash bond on the kidnapping charge, and $1,000 bond on the assault charge. According to a press release, the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of domestic violence in the Corwith area on Oct. 11. The report was relayed by the Kossuth County Sheriff’s Office, which originally took the call. Upon investigating the matter, a Hancock County deputy sheriff arrested Dann on the charge of domestic abuse assault, an aggravated misdemeanor.
A criminal complaint alleges that Dann bound the victim with black zip ties and assaulted her repeatedly at their home in Corwith throughout the evening of October 10 and into the morning of October 11. The complaint says the alleged victim showed injuries consistent with the allegations. Black zip ties were allegedly recovered at the Dann residence. Hancock County Attorney Davis Solheim filed trial information concerning the assaulting and the kidnapping charges on October 21. First degree kidnapping is a Class A felony and carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison. Domestic abuse assault with injury, first offense, is a serious misdemeanor and carries a penalty of a minimum 2 days in jail, maximum 1 year in jail, minimum $315 fine, maximum $1875 fine, mandatory completion of Iowa Domestic Abuse Program. Arrangement is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 1, at 9 a.m. at the Hancock County Courthouse.

BRITT – Several topics concerning the police department were discussed at the Britt City Council meeting on October 18. There has been a proposed dog ordinance for some time that continues to be tweaked and adjusted, and it was decided that the committee, police chief and city council review and revise the proposal as needed, and continues to be a work in progress. The council was asked to approve attendance at the police academy for new officer Codi Thompson, which was passed at a total cost of $8,218.47. With Thompson in tow, the department has grown to a total of four individuals, and as a result “there was a need to move outlets and add BRITT to page 12

A look at repairs to back alleys and the City Hall roof have been underway and in some cases completed in Kanawha.
GARNER – Former Lt. Governor Patty Judge (D-Albia) recently campaigned in Garner. Judge is challenging incumbent Senator Charles Grassley (R) in the Nov. 8 election. Judge is also a former Secretary of Agriculture under Tom Villsack. She shared her views on agricultural issues and on what will likely be debated by Congress in the 2017 Farm Bill. If elected, she plans to ask to be on the Senate Ag Committee. The current farm bill was passed in 2014 and will expire in 2018. It will come up for debate in 2017. “Since that period of time until now, we’ve had pretty strong prices,” Judge

October is Cooperative Month
What is a Cooperative? A Cooperative is a business owned by its users. These users, called members, elect a board of directors from their ranks. The directors hire a general manager, who hires the employees needed and sees that the business is properly run on a day-to-day basis. There have been over 45,000 cooperatives launched in the U.S. over the past 250 years. By banding together cooperatives can get better prices by buying in bulk. Meeting people’s needs for all kinds of goods and services results in credit unions, electric and telephone service, housing, farm marketing and farm supply, health and day care, news services, insurance and many other cooperatives. So check out the cooperatives in your neighborhood. You can belong to several. Your local cooperative may invest in larger regional cooperatives to further enhance their services.
Here’s how the Cooperatives help our economy:
Total Employees............................................... 636 Total Payroll ............................... over $30,428,071 Total Property Taxes .................... over $2,106,874 Total Sales: ............................ over $1,477,177,849 Total Members .................................... over 12,838

Switching it up
Just The Issues:
The Presidential Race By Travis Fischer Election Day is coming up quickly and while most have already made up their mind about which candidate they are voting for, there are still those out there undecided between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. In a campaign flush with scandals, insults, and larger than life personalities, the actual policies and platforms can get lost in the shuffle. And while either candidate will have a difficult time convincing Congress to pass all of their proposals, it is important to know where each stands on the issues that affect the lives of their hopeful constituents.
Taxes Currently, income tax in the United States is divided among seven brackets ranging from 10 percent for the lowest earners (less than $9,275 annually) to 39.6% for the highest (more than $415,050 annually.) The average Iowan falls into the 15% bracket, making between $9,275 and $37,650 annually. Clinton’s proposal for tax reform would leave these brackets as they are, however an additional bracket would be created, taxing annual income over $5 million at 43.6 percent. Clinton would also enact the “Buffett Rule,” which would establish a 30 percent minimum tax on people with adjusted gross income of over $1 million. In comparison, Trump would propose a tax reform plan that reduces the number of tax brackets from seven to three. Tax rates would start at 12 percent for individual income up to $37,500. Above that, income between $37,500 and $112,500 would be taxed at 25 percent, and income above $112,500 would be taxed at 33 percent. These brackets would be doubled for married-joint filers, with the Head of Household deduction eliminated completely. Trump would also increase the standard deduction from $6,300 to $15,000 per person. Deductions would be capped at $100,000. Under Clinton, the standard deduction would remain the same and deductions would be limited to a tax value of 28 percent, with the exception of charitable deductions. Regarding the estate tax, commonly known as the death tax, estates valued at more than $5.45 million currently pay a 40 percent tax on the remaining amount. Clinton would see the exemption returned to its 2009 amount of $3.5 million and increase the top rate on estates worth more than $500 million to 65 percent. Trump would see the estate tax removed entirely, however capital gains valued over $10 million would be subject to taxing. For businesses, Trump would lower the business tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent and eliminate the corporate alternative minimum tax. At the same time, Trump would eliminate the deduction for domestic production and other business related credits, save the research and development credit. Trump would also approve a 10 percent tax holiday to repatriate corporate profits held overseas. Clinton would leave the tax rate where it is, but quadruple the size of the startup deduction from $5,000 to $20,000 and expand the Affordable
Care Act’s tax credits to small businesses, along with new tax credits for profit-sharing and apprenticeships. Clinton would also focus on closing tax shelters and loopholes that allow large businesses and the wealthy to pay lower effective tax rates. In reports from The Tax Foundation, it is predicted that Clinton’s tax plan would result in a 2.6% reduction of growth in the GDP over the next ten years. Likewise, wage rate growth would be reduced by 2.1% and 697,000 jobs would be lost. At the same time, Clinton’s plan would increase government revenues by $1.4 trillion over 10 years, reducing the national debt by an estimated $1.6 trillion in that time. In a polar opposite, Trump’s plan is predicted to result in a 6.9-8.2% increase in GDP growth, a 5.4-6.3 percent increase in wage rate growth, and add 1.8-2.1 million jobs. However, it would also reduce government revenue by as much as $5.9 trillion, adding an estimated $7.2 trillion to the national debt. Economy In matters of the economy, Clinton’s plan centers on a major investment in infrastructure to improve airports, public schools, transportation, and internet access across the country. Her $10 billion “Make it in America” plan would fund programs to support domestic manufacturing, crack down on foreign influences on the market, and provide incentives to keep jobs in the United States. Locally, Clinton proposes an expansion of Rural Business Investment Companies, establishing greater capital networks in rural areas for small businesses. Likewise, small town banks would be separated from the regulations and red tape meant to restrain billion dollar financial institutions. For farmers, Clinton would double the funding for the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development program and the Farmers Market Promotion Program. Expansion to the Local Food Promotion Program would also allow small producers to sell their product directly to schools, hospitals, and retailers. For energy, Clinton would launch a $60 billion Clean Energy Challenge, focusing on increasing advancements in renewable electricity. This plan also includes doubling loan guarantees for biofuel production and expanding access to E15, E85, and biodiesel blends. Trump’s policy largely centers on his tax cuts, but also includes eliminating regulations such as the Waters of the U.S. Rule and the EPA’s Clean Power Plan. On energy, Trump supports hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, and offshore oil drilling. Neither candidate says they will approve the Trans-Pacific Partnership and both would hold China accountable for its practices, such as dumping low quality steel into the market and the theft of American trade secrets. Trump would go further still in foreign trade relations, intending to renegotiate NAFTA under the threat of a complete withdrawal. Domestically, Trump would issue a moratorium on new regulations not approved by Congress or are found to be in the interest of public safety.
Family Care A major part of Trump’s campaign has been his proposal for reducing the economic burden on parents. Trump’s plan would adjust the current child care tax benefit. Currently childcare expenses up to $3,000 for a child or up to $6,000 for two or more children can qualify for a 35 percent tax credit. Trump’s plan increases the number of maximum qualifying children from two to four, up to the age of 13, and replaces the tax credit with an income tax deduction capped at the average cost of care in that state. In Iowa, the average cost of child care is roughly $9,000 per year. Assuming $9,000 is spent on child care, a family that earns up to $75,000 annually would receive a tax reduction of $1,080 per child. A family that earns up to $225,000 annually would receive a tax reduction of $2,250 while a family that earns up to $500,000 annually would receive a reduction of $2,970. Families with income over $500,000 would not be eligible for the tax deduction. Similarly, Trump’s proposal would allow families to file a $5,000 deduction on expenses centered on caring for elderly family members, reducing their taxes by $600, $1,250, or $1,650, depending on their tax bracket. For lower-income parents that already have no income tax liability, Trump’s plan would also provide an Earned Income Tax Credit boost of up to half of the payroll for the lower earning parent, up to an income limitation of $31,200. Trump’s plan would also give parents the option of opening a dependent care savings account, which would allow families to annually contribute up to $2,000 in a tax free account that can be drawn from to pay for higher education or other expenses. Low income families will receive 50 percent matching funds of up to $500 per year from the government. For child care itself, Trump recommends reducing daycare staffing regulations that lower the child-to-staff ratio, allowing daycares to reduce costs by hiring fewer staff. To encourage more businesses to provide child care, Trump would also propose an expansion to the 2001 legislation that gives businesses with on-site daycare facilities a 25 percent tax credit on expenditures and 10 percent of resource and referral costs, up to $150,000 per year. Trump would increase that cap and allow different companies to pool their resources to get more out of the tax credit. On maternity leave, Trump would allow new mothers to receive six weeks of unemployment insurance after having a baby. In comparison, Clinton’s plan would require employers to give up to 12 weeks of leave to both parents and provide tax relief subsidies to parents that spend more than 10 percent of their income on child care. Clinton’s Respect and Increased Salaries for Early Childhood Educators (RAISE) initiative would fund state and community programs that increase pay for child care providers and early educators. Likewise, Clinton would propose doubling investments in Early Head Start programs and funding universal preschool for four-year-olds. PRESIDENTIAL RACE to page 10
After literally years of speculation, Nintendo finally released the first solid details of their next-generation system, the Nintendo Switch. Previously known under it’s development name, the NX, the rumor mill surrounding Nintendo’s next system has been churning for years. Strangely enough, the rumors were pretty much all correct, starting with the new console’s defining gimmick. The Nintendo Switch isn’t just a home console, but a console/handheld hybrid. The main unit of the device is really just a portable LCD screen with some heavy duty hardware inside. You can set the main unit into a dock which transfers the main screen to your television, or you can snap on a controller accessory to each side and use it as a portable gaming device. The rumor that Nintendo’s next system would be a hybrid always seemed outlandish. Nintendo has maintained a very profitable grip on the handheld market for decades. Why compete with yourself in an area you already dominate? But the rumor continued to persist, The more time passed, the more believable it became, if only because this is exactly the sort of decision Nintendo would make. It’s never enough for them to just make a system that plays games. For ten years now they’ve had to be different. The Nintendo Wii had its motion controls. The Wii-U had its tablet controller. Now we have the Switch which, to be fair, is as close to a traditional console that Nintendo has made in the last decade. In theory, you could never remove the system from its dock and it would effectively function identically to a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. However, performance is another matter. Once again, Nintendo remains behind the curve when it comes to graphical prowess. In a best case scenario, the Nintendo Switch will be almost as powerful as the three year old Xbox One, while still costing as
much, if not more, due to the expensive LCD screen attached to it. That’s a hard sell for anybody that isn’t enamored by the novelty of playing home based video games on the go. Another seemingly unlikely rumor that ended up being true was that the new system will be cartridge based rather than disk based. This is a bold move for Nintendo considering their history with the format. In the mid90s, when Sony entered the gaming market with the CD based PlayStation, Nintendo steadfastly held to their tradition of cartridge based games. Because CDs could store more data while still being produced at a fraction of the cost of cartridges, Sony’s PlayStation was a much less risky choice for developers to make games for. Nintendo did eventually switch to a disk based system in 2001 with the Nintendo GameCube, but by then the damage had been done. The decision to stick with cartridges in 1996 was one of the turning points that lead to Nintendo’s fall as the top dog in the industry. But times have changed. Solid state media has come a long way in the last two decades. And, of course, cartridges come with advantages of their own. Where diskbased systems require power consuming moving parts, and fans to cool those moving parts, cartridges use less space, less power, and are less prone to damage during everyday use. I’ve long ago stopped trying to predict whether or not Nintendo’s latest scheme will wildly succeed or backfire spectacularly. I think there’s little chance that their next system sees any more success than their last one, but who knows. This could be the one that catches lightning in a bottle again and takes the world by storm. I’ll get one either way. I already have a PC for mainstream gaming, so all I really need from Nintendo is my Mario and Zelda fix. That’s enough.

Rotary Club Recognized
The Rotary Club of Garner, Iowa has been recognized by Rotary International for outstanding achievement. The club earned the Presidential Bronze Citation, one of the most prestigious recognitions bestowed on local clubs. The honor was given by K. R. Ravindran of Sri Lanka, Rotary International President for 2015-2016. Ravindran recognized clubs that excelled in membership growth, financial contributions to the Rotary Foundation, Humanitarian service, local service projects and other criteria. Rotary District Governor, Joe Gitta, of Cedar Falls, said the recognition was not easy to attain. “This citation was given to only five clubs in our district, which is comprised by 54 Rotary clubs. The local Rotary Club worked very hard to earn this honor, and is a great asset to this community.” The Rotary Club of Garner is involved in many local service projects
including: Renovation of the Wildridge Park playground with a major financial contribution and volunteer labor as well as donating time at Cardinal Park both in Garner; “Purple Pinky” project educates GHV 4th graders on the effects of polio in the world & Rotary’s International mission of eradicating polio. The club organizes the Duesy Day Parade, volunteers monthly at the Avery Theatre, and volunteers at the concession stand for GHV events. The Garner Rotary club donates to numerous projects in the community. The club sent 3 high school students to RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) and gave a $500 scholarship to a GHV senior. Garner Rotary along with 3 other clubs created the North Iowa Rotary which organizes fundraisers which are donated to a local nonprofit. In 2015 the clubs “Octoberfest Fund Raiser” donated $15,000 to FAVA based in Forest City. Internationally the club puts together
shoe boxes for children in underdeveloped countries which includes clothing, shoes, school supplies & a toy. The club works with a Jamaican Rotary club sending school & sports equipment to local school children; also donated a $1000 to an International well project.

There are 54 clubs in District 5970, which comprises the Northern one-third of Iowa. Clubs meet weekly to enjoy fellowship, networking and local community service projects, while getting involved in international service projects like Polio Plus. Rotary International is credited with nearly eradicating Polio through its fundraising and immunization clinics held throughout the world over the past 25 years.
5 Loaves 2 Fish to sponsor Winter Outerwear Giveaway Nov. 5
Have you noticed large boxes in your favorite local businesses? These boxes are being utilized to collect donations of new or gently used winter outerwear, such as coats, snow pants, boots, hats, gloves, scarves and mittens for 5 Loaves 2 Fish’s Winter Outerwear Giveaway. The Winter Outerwear Giveaway will take place on Saturday, November 5, from 9 to 11:30 a.m., at the Goodnature Store. 5 Loaves 2 Fish is a local, non-profit that started out serving lunches to kids in the summer, but has expanded into much more. Last winter, 5 Loaves held a small winter clothing drive and worked primarily through the GHV school nurses and teachers to equip kids in need of warm winter gear. The need for winter outerwear was apparent, so they decided to see what surrounding communities were doing. A few of the board members went to Clear Lake’s winter clothing drive, Engage, last winter, and that is where this year’s idea for the Winter Outerwear Giveaway came from. There is no doubt about it, Iowa winters are very cold, and it is important to
be bundled up on your walk to school or work, on the playground at recess, while running errands, building a snowman, or scraping your vehicle. With the Winter Outerwear Giveaway, 5 Loaves 2 Fish hopes to equip kids and adults of all ages with the proper winter gear to comfortably fare the cold, winter conditions. Donations of any size winter coats, snow pants, waterproof boots, hats, waterproof gloves, scarves and mittens are greatly appreciated to stock the racks and tables at Goodnature’s for the upcoming event. Vo l u n teers are needed for the week leading up to the giveaway, as clothing will need to be organized for the day of the Winter Outerwear Giveaway. Also, many volunteers are needed on Saturday, November 5. Would you consider lending us an hour or 2 in any of these ways? Advertise for the outerwear distribution day at GHV parent/teacher conferences. Volunteers are needed to man tables on Tuesday, October 25 and Thursday, October 27 at the four GHV schools. There will be a display

The Potpourri Club of Klemme is hosting a scalloped potatoes and ham harvest supper on Saturday, Nov. 5, from 5 to 6:30 p.m., in the Klemme Community Building. The menu will include scalloped potatoes and ham, salad, roll, pie and beverages. Carry-outs will be available, as well as delivery in Klemme. Tickets will be available at the door. Supplemental funds will be given by Comm 1. The Potpourri Club holds two fundraisers each year - the harvest supper in the fall and soup and pie sales in the spring. Last year, a total of $1900 was given to various organizations including the Klemme Homestead Museum, Klemme Ag Day, Klemme Community Building, Klemme Public Library, Klemme Fire Department, Klemme Methodist Church, Klemme United
Church of Christ, Belmond-Klemme Scholarship Fund, Hancock County Food Bank, God’s Pantry, Garner Ambulance Services, Habitat for Humanity, and the Red Bird Mission trip. Since the organization of the Potpourri Club in 1979, the amount of money this small club has given totals to a sizeable figure. Following the supper, at approximately 6:30 p.m., the American Legion will conduct its Feather (Bingo) Party. The name “Feather Party” originated because prizes for the Bingo party originally were turkeys, ducks, chickens etc., in preparation for Thanksgiving. Now cash prizes are awarded. The American Legion uses these proceeds to send young people to Boys’ and Girls’ State.
Klemme Potpourri Club members share stories and plan upcoming events The Klemme Potpourri Club met on October 17 at the Klemme Community Building. President Karen Priebe opened the meeting. Gladys Wessels read a meditation entitled “The Nest” which dealt with an unexpected comfort through a dove’s nest and clutch of eggs for a grieving mom. For the news moment, Sue Kaduce shared a story of love and rescue that has made Hillary Clinton a hero to Kaduce’s adopted Russian born 9-year-old grandson, Max. The boy knew that, in 2011, Hillary played a large part in successfully negotiating the reinstatement of U.S. adoptions of Russian children, which ultimately brought Max and his brother to a loving family in the U.S. Roll call for the evening was “my latest road trip” which ranged from a cruise down a river to a visit to an
apple orchard to other destinations still being thought about. Dues for the year and donations for the “Angel Tree” were collected. President Priebe announced that Comm 1 has matched the charity grant that Potpourri Club received from Aureon. Potpourri Club will now go ahead and purchase 15 arm chairs for the Klemme Community Room. Plans were then finalized for the scalloped potatoes and ham Harvest Supper which will be held on Saturday, November 5, from 5 to 6:30 p.m., in the Klemme Community Building. Following the supper, the Klemme American Legion will conduct their “Feather Party” (Bingo). The snow date for those two events is Saturday, November 12. Lunch was served by co-hostesses Rev. Donna Buckman and Carol Hinman.

Orthel Jolly Workers 4-H Club holds monthly meetings The regular August meeting of the Orthel Jolly Workers 4-H club was held on Sunday, August 28, at the Lions Park in Britt following a county-wide family potluck. President Cassie Engstler called the meeting to order at 6 pm. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Heather Engstler. Roll Call was “Favorite Sport.” Minutes from the June meeting were approved as read. There was no Treasurers report. Under old business, the Summer Exploration events were discussed. Sondra reported that the food that was collected at the fair had been distributed to God’s Pantry and the Britt Food Bank. The club handed out 30 tickets for ice cream at the fair for patriating in the Fair Parade Challenge.
Under new business, it was stated that the club would have an opportunity to serve food at a farm auction on Saturday September 10. Each club family was asked to furnish a pan of bars and to help with the concession stand. It was discussed that the club has a limited amount of volunteers, so the leaders were to ask another club to help out. The next meeting was scheduled for Saturday September 24, at the Kluver home. The 4-H Pledge was led by Anna Wirtjes and the August meeting was adjourned. The regular September meeting of the Orthel Jolly Workers 4-H club was held on September 24, at the home of Leader DeEtta Kluver. President Cassie Engstler called the meeting to order at 9:30 am.

Abigail Wirtjes made a motion to pay these bills and Heather Engstler seconded it. Under old business, the family potluck was discussed. Members felt they had a good turnout. The concession stand they served yielded $398.90. Nicole Lampe made a suggestion that they give $150 of the proceeds to the new “First Lego League”
for helping them. Elise Wirtjes made a motion to make the donation and Abigail Wirtjes seconded it. Under new business, re-enrollment was talked about. It was stated that this needed to be done as soon as possible, preferably before awards nights in November. Election of officers was held. The officers are as follows: Corria King, vice-president; Katey Tegtmeyer, secretary; Alyssa Tegtmeyer, treasurer; and Anna Wirtjes, photographer. The next meeting was scheduled for Saturday, October 22, with the plan to deliver tie blankets to the women’s shelter in Mason City. Time was to be determined. The 4-H Pledge was led by Corrina King and the meeting was adjourned.
HCHS supports the Great American Smokeout
BRITT – Hancock County Health System will join the American Cancer Society on Thursday, November 17, in recognizing the Great American Smokeout. This “informal holiday” is aimed at encouraging citizens to quit, or plan to quit, smoking for at least 24 hours with hopes that this decision will continue on forever. “This is an effort to reduce cases of preventable cancers as well as secondhand smoke emissions while improving the health of all Americans,” said Denise Hiscocks, director, HCHS Community Health Department. According to the Centers for Disease Control, smoking is responsible for one in three cancer-related deaths, and one in five deaths from any cause. Worldwide, tobacco use causes more than five million deaths per year. Life expectancy for smokers is 10 years less than that of non-smokers. A middle-aged man who smokes, triples
Denise Hiscocks
his risk of dying from some type of heart disease.
“While the stats are scary and stacked against smoking,” Hiscocks said, “There is a bright side for those who quit. There are many benefits of quitting that are noticed right away.” Those benefits include: food tastes better; money will be saved; the sense of smell returns to normal; breath, hair and clothes smell better; teeth and fingernails stop yellowing. Quitting also helps stop the damaging effects of tobacco on how you look, including premature wrinkling of your skin, gum disease and tooth loss. Here is a look at the benefits minute by minute, week by week and year by year. Twenty minutes after quitting, your heart rate and blood pressure drop. Twelve hours after quitting, the carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal. Two to three weeks after quitting, your circulation improves and your lung function increas-
es. One to nine months after quitting, coughing and shortness of breath decrease. One year after quitting, the excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of someone who still smokes, and your heart attack risk drops dramatically. Five years after quitting, your risk of cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus and bladder is cut in half, and cervical cancer risk falls to that of a non-smoker. Your stroke risk can fall to that of a non-smoker after two to five years. Ten years after quitting, your risk of dying from lung cancer is about half that of a person who still smokes, and your risk of cancer of the larynx (voice box) and pancreas decreases. Fifteen years after quitting, your risk of coronary heart disease is that of a non-smoker’s. If you need help quitting, call HCHS Community Health at 641-923-3676 or Quitline Iowa at 1-800-784-8669.

Tree of Life ceremonies will honor the spirit of life
MASON CITY - As traditional as the holiday season, Hospice of North Iowa will hold its annual Tree of Life ceremonies in which evergreen trees will be “brought to light” during special ceremonies in eight communities throughout the North Iowa area. Trees are lit at special ceremonies in memory of loved ones and in honor of the living. The lights symbolize the presence of those honored and remembered. Donations to the Tree of Life celebrations honor your loved ones and help extend hospice services needed to allow patients to live out the last months of their lives with dignity, often in the comfort of their own homes. There is no minimum donation required to remember and honor at a Tree of Life ceremony. Please note, publication of your loved one’s name in the program is not automatic and must be requested. Names are not continued from year to year. Your loved one does not need to have been a hospice patient to be recognized at the Tree of Life ceremonies.

Season comes to a close for eagles volleyball Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom
WEST BEND – Two days after playing some of its best volleyball of the season, the West Hancock High School team’s season came to a close in a 25-13, 25-14, 25-23 defeat at West Bend-Mallard in the opening round of the Top of Iowa Conference tournament on October 18. Sydney Burgardt and Amanda Chizek led the way with four kills apiece, while Chizek added a teambest three total blocks and went 7-for7 on serves. “Going into this match, we knew
that we would need to play well as we gave (West Bend-Mallard) a run for their money at the North Iowa tournament a couple of weeks ago,” West Hancock coach Jennifer Hammer said. “We struggled in the area of serve receiving, plus West Bend has a very low ceiling that caused some issues. We just weren’t clicking as well as we have the last two outings. Again, our schedule is not favorable for momentum when there are numerous days of practice rather than competition,” in reference to a pair of tournaments that were a week apart leading into the playoffs. Faith Hammer and Ryann Hagen both turned in fantastic performances,
particularly when considered against team totals. Hammer finished with 14 of West Hancock’s (3-23) 16 assists, and Hagen collected seven of the Eagles’ 13 total digs. Emily Ryerson and Brigid Smith combined to go 9-for-9 on serve attempts, as well. “Looking into the future, the underclassmen were fired up in the locker room for next year,” Hammer said. “I reiterated to them that in order to make a major change to this volleyball program, it is going to take individuals working outside the season. No slipping on their crusty, stinky volleyball shoes on August 1.”

GHV’s Mackenzie VanGerpen gets a kill for the Cards during their 3-0 tounament win over Hampton Dumont. VanGerpen had 14 kills and 13 digs for the Cards.
Cards advance in regional volleyball Win or go home. Regardless of the sport, that phrase pretty much sums up what’s at stake when tournament time begins. The GHV volleyball team found themselves in that situation with the opening round of Class 3A regional action on Wednesday. The Cards were able to use a combination of home court advantage with momentum from last weekend’s tournament performance to extend their season at least one more week. GHV had already faced their first round opponent, Hampton-Dumont, on one occasion this season and the Cardinals were hoping to avenge that five-set loss to the Bulldogs. In this match it was “mission accomplished” for GHV as the Cards rolled to a three-set victory.
The Cardinals took control of the evening in set one with a 25 – 19 decision over Hampton. Game two was tight all the way with GHV pulling away at the end for a 27 – 25 victory. That momentum carried over into the third set with the Cardinals pulling away for a convincing 25 – 13 win to end the match. Hannah Lau was virtually unstoppable at the net recording 22 kills on 40 of 42 attacks while finishing the net with five blocks. Mackenzie Van Gerpen also created defensive problems for the Bulldogs as the senior hitter scored 14 kills. Taylor Gerdes added five kills and three blocks at the net. Setter Bailee Frayne was credited with 33 assists and four digs for the Cards and Carlie Knutson had a

great night defensively with 18 digs. Other defensive leaders included Van Gerpen with 13 digs, Jacki Van Oort with eight digs and seven digs from Lau and Fede Monteleone. Cardinal coach Kelsey Steffens commented, “While we were focused on aggressive serving and passing to target, our main focus was on energy. Their determination was crucial as we trailed most of the second set. The girls know how to fight and push points; the combination of determination and energy helped them be successful on the court.” The Cardinals are now 18 – 9 overall and will face Clarion-Goldfield in the Class 3A Regional semifinals on Tuesday at Forest City.
GARNER – Though some of its best volleyball of the season was played over the course of three matches, the West Hancock volleyball team was unable to emerge with a victory in losses to Northwood-Kensett (2114, 23-25, 21-6), North Iowa (2114, 21-9) and Rockford (21-18, 2112) at the Garner-Hayfield/Ventura tournament to conclude its regular season on October 15. “Overall, our play was satisfactory,” West Hancock head coach Jennifer Hammer said. “We came out quite strong the first match versus Northwood-Kensett, but couldn’t quite maintain that same level of intensity, communication and drive following that.” In the opening match with N-K, Brooke Anderson, Sydney Burgardt and Kaylee Hudspeth all came away with five kills, while Amanda Chizek delivered three. Faith Hammer dished out 16 assists, and Hudspeth and Ryann Hagen each picked up seven digs. Burgardt, Chizek and Brigid Smith combined for six solo blocks for the match.

“We did many solid things both offensively and defensively,” Hammer said. “I always say to the girls that when we can get an attack out of a mistake, we are playing some smart volleyball. We did not come out with a match victory, but we did push Northwood-Kensett to a third set, which is a good accomplishment for us.” Along with improved served reception and passing, the Eagles also went 27-for-31 on serves, including three aces from Anderson and Smith. In the second match against North Iowa, the team waivered a bit. “We were extremely quiet during this match, and as a result we were unable to be active in all aspects of the game,” Hammer said. “We were not playing aggressive defense to get blocking tips, nor make any attempts for digs.” Faith Hammer delivered four assists, while Emily Ryerson stepped up to contribute four kills in the absence of Chizek. Anderson, Burgardt and Sydney Hudspeth teamed for four kills and Hagen led the way with three digs. West Hancock’s (3-22) final match was much improved over its second,

as they were “able to play right with Rockford even though they had a big hitter,” Hammer said. “Communicaiton was improved, but not aggressive defensively again.” Kaylee Hudspeth paced the team with three kills, followed by Anderson and Burgardt with two apiece and Ryerson with one. Hammer doled out seven assists, while Kaylee Hudspeth had three digs and Hagen two. “It is that time of the year when your team should be peaking, and I can say that we are at that point,” Hammer said. “Between last weekend’s tourney at North Iowa and a good showing today, we have played our best volleyball.” Hammer continued, “As we are closing in on the end of the season, we can reflect and easily recognize our improvements. It is more apparent here within the past two weeks, but I count that toward confidence. Last weekend, and even (October 15), I have heard my players say that this is fun.” The Eagles will travel to West Bend-Mallard for the first round of the Top of Iowa Conference playoffs on October 18.

GHVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chase Theobald (4) heads to the end zone on a 48 yard touchdown reception during the Cards 42-13 win over Osage.
Cards complete season with win at Osage
With a playoff appearance out the picture, the GHV football team bounced back from a devastating threeweek stretch to record a 42-13 victory at Osage in their season finale. The Cardinals were in the thick of the playoff hunt after opening the season 5 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0, only to suffer successive losses to Clarion-Goldfield, Crestwood and New Hampton. In situations such as this, coaches will encourage their teams to â&#x20AC;&#x153;play for prideâ&#x20AC;? and the Cards obviously responded to that message. GHV began the game moving the ball with their potent ground game throughout the first quarter but were unable to assemble a scoring drive. A missed field goal and a lost fumble thwarted Cardinal drives but GHVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense scored three touchdowns in the final five minutes of the first half to build momentum. Connor Burke started the scoring barrage with a 13-yard touchdown run and then added the PAT kick. Four incomplete passes on Osageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next drive led to GHV regaining possession just 51 seconds later. The Cards took full advantage of the quick turnaround, needing only 5 plays to march 54 yards for another score. Conner Shaw crossed the goal line to cap this drive scoring on a four-yard run. Burke added the PAT kick and the Cardinals appeared to be on the way to a 14 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0 halftime lead. Osage then gifted the Cardinals with one more possession before intermission after fumbling the ensuing kickoff. The Cardinals wasted no time after covering the loose ball, scoring another touchdown on the very next play. This time Ryan Meyers connected with Chase Theobald on a 48-yard scoring pass. Burke split the uprights again on the PAT and the score stood at 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0 with just over a minute remaining in the first half. The Green Devils then successfully executed their two-minute offense, driving 66 yards on nine pass plays to find the end zone as the second quarter clock expired. The PAT kick closed the gap to 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7 at halftime. The two teams traded punts to begin the second half before GHVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense put together another scoring drive. This time Shaw broke loose on a 44-yard scoring run but the PAT failed making the score 27 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7. Osage managed to assemble another scoring drive early in the fourth quarter, closing the gap to 27 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 13. The Cardinals answered on the kickoff as Jace Pringnitz scampered 55 yards on the return giving GHV possession inside the Green Devil red zone. Two plays later Nick Joynt crossed the goal line on a nine-yard run and Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PAT kick stretched the margin to 35 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 13. The Cardinal defense completely shut down Osageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense through the remainder of the game and the GHV
offense put another score on the board before the final horn. Joynt got the call again, scoring this time on a 27-yard run followed by Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PAT kick to make the final 42 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 13. The Green Devil defense was unable to slow down GHVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running game as the Cardinals finished the game with 306 yards. Shaw finished his career with an impressive effort, running for 223 yards on 42 carries. Joynt added 65 yards on eight rushes followed by Burke with 19 yards on three carries. Ryan Meyers had an effective night throwing the ball, completing seven of eight passes for 155 yards. Chase Theobald caught three passes for 79 yards and Joynt added two receptions for 50 yards. Burke and Zach Abbas each had single receptions for 14 and 12 yards respectively. On the defensive side of the ball, GHV totally destroyed the Green Devil rushing game as Osage finished the night losing 21 yards on the ground. The Devils were forced to resort to their passing game, tossing the ball 42 times with 21 completions for 265 yards. Joynt was credited with four solo tackles and two assists to lead GHVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive unit. Theobald finished the game with five solo tackles and Burke added three solos and two assists. Grady Umbarger added three solos and an assist while Dane Whipple finished with two solos, three assists and a fumble recovery. Meyers added two fumble recoveries to the effort and Shaw had a pass interception. Cardinal coach Scott Van Dusseldorp commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played a very good game. It was nice to have a game where I feel everyone was healthy and could play up to our teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential. It was a great way to end the season. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy the seniors were able to finish their high school careers with a win. They leave some very big shoes to fill. Heading into the offseason it is important that the junior class steps up immediately and takes on a leadership role so we can have a successful 2017 season. To the seniors, thank you for all you have done for this program. Good luck with the rest of high school and the GHV Cardinal Football team will miss you.â&#x20AC;? The Cardinals ended the 2016 season at 4 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 in Class 2A District play and 6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 overall. Selected statistics from Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Osage follow.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonight, we executed pretty well, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to execute when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re facing tough teams, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working to get better at.â&#x20AC;? The Eagles received the second half kick-off, and after it was mishandled by front men, Weiland picked up it and scampered 72 yards for a touchdown to make it 48-0 just 12 seconds into the third quarter. The senior standout scored the first time he touched the ball in both halves, and totaled three touchdowns for his final regular season home game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That feels amazing,â&#x20AC;? Weiland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I expect every time I touch the ball, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great feeling. My line does a great job and I appreciate it.â&#x20AC;? Weiland continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of sad (the final regular season home game), but we have the playoffs now, so hopefully we make a deep run.I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of momentum and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of things to prove, and it would be nice if we saw St. Ansgar in the Dome. It would be a nice rematch.â&#x20AC;? With the clock running because of the lopsided score, Eckels connected with Bruns on a one-yard scoring pass to make it 55-0 with 39.9 seconds to go in the third. West Hancockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final tally came when Jordi Rodriguez took a pass
away from a Nashua-Plainfield (3-6) receiver and returned it three yards for a defensive touchdown. All told, the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense came away with five sacks, two fumble recoveries and Rodriguezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score to post their first shutout of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting better every week defensively, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take going into the playoffs,â&#x20AC;? Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve improved (defensively) more than anyplace.â&#x20AC;? The 63-0 final was the most lopsided victory of the season for West Hancock. Francis led the team with 148 yards rushing on 13 carries, while Weiland went for 75 on four chances, Yeakel finished with 30 on three totes, Bruns had 27 on seven opportunities and the trio of Eckels, Rodriguez and Nick Lemmon had 33 yards on nine attempts. The Eagles will begin the playoffs next Friday against an opponent yet to be determined, but Sanger feels happy about where the team is at the moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel good because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re healthy, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a big thing,â&#x20AC;? Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Staying healthy at this time of the year is very touch sometimes and especially going into the playoffs, you want to have your best team.â&#x20AC;?
ANSGAR â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jordan Weiland exploded for a 71-yard touchdown run to give the West Hancock High School football team an early lead, but they would play catch-up from that point forward in a 28-20 loss to Saint Ansgar on October 14. The victory gave the Saints their third consecutive district title and ensured that West Hancock (6-2) would finish second. Despte the loss, the Eagles locked up a playoff spot for the upcoming tournament. Weilandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scamper came just over 90 seconds into the game to give West Hancock a 6-0 lead in the opening quarter. It took a bit but Saint Ansgar (8-0) found pay dirt when Ryan Peterson hauled in a 26-yard pass from Ben Boerjan that gave the Saints a lead they would never relinquish with 3:38 left on the first quarter clock. Boerjan added a five-yard scoring run with 7:21 left in the half, the only score of the second quarter, which gave Saint Ansgar a 14-6 lead as the teams headed into the locker room. Dayton Smith escaped Eagles defenders for a 31-yard touchdown run with just north of four minutes left in the third, as it began to look as though the Saints would pull away. West Hancock would not go down without a fight, however. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the deal, when you go against a good team youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to deal with some controversy and coming from behind, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to figure out ways to score,â&#x20AC;? West Hancock head coach Bob Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We left our defense on the field way too much in the first half, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest thing right there. But in the
second half we were much better with that, we were moving the ball and making things happen.â&#x20AC;? Dylan Eckels raced in from 18 yards out to make it 21-12 with just 20 ticks left in the third. The Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; signal caller found the end zone again on a one-yard plunge moments into the final stanza, and Eckelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; twopoint conversion pulled West Hancock to within one, 21-20 with 10:38 left in regulation. It was as close as the Eagles would come. Though it was back and forth from there, John Pattersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-yard touchdown run with 5:27 to go was the final tally of the contest, and ensured Saint Ansgarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We matched up well and all sights were on coming out with a victory, but it it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen,â&#x20AC;? Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a very good football team, they played very well and I think we played well, too but we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make some adjustments that we needed to make quick enough and we got ourselves in a whole right away.â&#x20AC;? Jordan Weiland led West Hancock with 103 yards rushing on 12 carries, while Colton Francis added 67 on 22 attempts and Eckels accounted for 56 on just eight totes. The Eagles rushed for 224 yards but allowed 265. The first time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be outrushed since their Week 1 match-up with Garner-Hayfield/Ventura. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed to have a game like that, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just be blowing out people all the time and think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to help us be a better football team,â&#x20AC;? Sanger said â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed a team that we were going to battle with and get ready for the playoffs.â&#x20AC;? West Hancock will conclude its regular season against Nashua-Plainfield at Bob Sanger Field on October 21.

BRITT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One week after a heartbreaking loss to top-ranked St. Ansgar, the West Hancock High School football team responded with its most impressive victory of the season in a 63-0 drubbing of Nashua-Plainfield on Senior Night at Bob Sanger Field on October 21. N-P picked up a first down on its initial drive, but would not cross midfield for the entire half thanks largely to the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense which picked up four sacks on the first six Huskies possessions. West Hancock (7-2) had no such troubles once they had the ball. Jordan Weiland took a hand-off from Dylan Eckels on WHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first play from scrimmage 55 yards for a touchdown, which opened the floodgates. WH scored on each of its first six possessions, including touchdown runs of 11 and one yards from Colton Francis and a 13-yarder from MaCoy Yeakel that had the Eagles ahead 26-0 at the end of the first quarter. After a Weiland score made it 34-0 with 10:35 to go in the half, the ensuing kickoff was not fielded properly by N-P, which gave West Hancock the ball

GHV boys will defend state title
With GHV sitting atop of the Class 2A Boys’ Cross-Country rankings all season, it was really no surprise to see the Cardinals win the title at last week’s District Championship race. The Cards were expected to emerge as the team champion and with three racers finishing among the top four places winning the title was pretty much “business as usual”. The meet was hosted by GHV at the golf course on Thursday, giving the squad a great opportunity to compete in front of a home crowd. Cardinal coach Jeff Short was appreciative for this opportunity. “It was incredible to run a Regional Meet on our own course. I think it was great for the runners, fans, and the community. There was a lot of work involved organizing and running the meet, but with all of the willing volunteers, it went great! I would like to thank the City and the Foundation for allowing GHV to showcase our Cross Country Program!” The boys’ race was not the only event at the Garner Golf Course as 14 Class 2A girls’ teams were also competing for a trip to the state meet.

Eagle cross country comes to a close at state qualifying meet Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom
ANKENY – The trio of runners who comprise the West Hancock High School cross country team competed in the state qualifying meet in Ankeny on October 20. Though none qualified, they concluded the campaign with strong showings in the final race of the season. Freshman Austin Brown finished 83rd out of 134 on the boys’ side with a time of 20:33.9, and has made an impression on head coach Holly Lang. “This was an awesome experience for him, running against older, more experienced runners,” Lang said. “(Brown) has the potential to be a top-place runner and I’m looking forward to seeing what Austin and Natalie (Lemmon) can do in the future in cross country.” On the girls’ side, Lemmon finished 90th and earned a personal record time of 27:20.2 in her first state qualifier as a sophomore and “had a really strong race all the way throughout,” Lang said. The lone senior on the team, Kaylee Hudspeth, finished her high

Hudspeth placed 69th out of 121 runners.
GARNER – Kaylee Hudspeth and Natalie Lemmon both achieved personal records for the West Hancock High School cross country team at the Top of Iowa conference meet in Garner on October 13. Austin Brown added a time of 20:24, one meet after setting his own personal record. Coach Holly Lang spoke with pride about her varsity runners. “They come every morning ready to run,” Lang said. “They might be tired, but they did whatever I asked and put in the effort and saw improvement in their times. Kayle was a leader and encouraged all season, Natalie always comes in with a positive attitude and Austin came in ready to run.” Lang also wanted to offer recog-
nition for freshman football player Tristan Hunt, who came in two or three times a week to run with Brown. “These kids work together and cheer each other on at each practice and every meet,” Lang said. The middle school runners also finished the season strong as all six competitors attained PRs, led by Rachel Leerar, who placed 11th on the girls’ side. Lang noted that every middle school athlete improved their times by three-to-five minutes over the course of the season. All told, eight of the nine Eagles runners achieved personal best times. While the season has come to a close for the middle schoolers, the varsity runners will compete in the state qualifying meet in Ankeny on October 20.

PRESIDENTIAL RACE from page 3 For student parents, Clinton proposes scholarships of up to $1,500 per year to go towards child care costs and would see increased funding for campus-based child care centers. Healthcare Like all Republican presidential candidates since 2012, Donald Trump’s healthcare reform policy begins with the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, eliminating the health care exchanges, the personal mandate to purchase health insurance and penalty for those that don’t, and the regulations that prevent insurance companies from enacting life-time coverage limits and denying applicants based on pre-existing conditions. In its place, Trump would modify existing laws to allow the sale of health insurance across state lines, though insurance companies would still have to comply with state regulations. For consumers, Trump would allow individuals to deduct the cost of health insurance premiums from their taxes and establish tax-free Health Savings Accounts that can be used to save for major health expenses. To increase competition, both Trump and Clinton would allow imported drugs into the domestic market. Continuing the work started by President Obama, Clinton would expand the Affordable Care Act with the ultimate goal of offering a public-option insurance plan. To that end, Clinton supports and expansion of Medicaid that would allow people

over 55 that aren’t normally eligible for Medicaid to buy into the program. To reduce the cost of prescription medication, Clinton would increase funding to the FDA’s Office of Generic Drugs to clear out the backlog of generics that have yet to be approved. Drug companies would also no longer be allowed to pay for arrangements that keep generic drugs off the market. Likewise, Clinton would eliminate corporate tax write-offs for consumer advertising for pharmaceutical companies. The increased tax revenue would then go towards investments in research and making a permanent R&D tax credit. On the consumer end of things, Clinton would require that health insurance plans cap out-of-pocket expenses for drugs at $250 per month. Outside of regular health care, Clinton also plans to implement a $10 billion initiative to combat drug and alcohol abuse, providing funds for prevention programs, treatment and recovery, and criminal justice reform that prioritizes treatment of non-violent drug offenders rather than incarceration. The plan also involves providing naloxone training to first responders, which can prevent a fatal opioid overdose. Immigration Immigration reform has been central to the Trump campaign, with its cornerstone being the construction of a border wall spanning the Mexico/United States border. Trump has repeatedly assured supporters that Mexico will pay for the wall. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has made it clear he has no intention of paying for the construction of a wall, however Trump has a plan he believes will force Pena Nieto’s hand, starting with a proposed rule to rewrite wire transfer laws to require legal documentation of lawful presence before money can be sent outside of the United States, making it difficult for illegal immigrants to wire money back to their families. Trump would not implement this rule if Mexico agrees to pay for the wall. If that doesn’t work, Trump would propose import tariffs, increased visa fees, or outright canceling visas until the wall is built. Along with the wall, Trump intends

For illegal immigrants already in the country, Trump would reverse President Obama’s two executive actions that deferred action against illegal immigrants that were brought into the country as children and illegal immigrants that have children who are American citizens. To enforce immigration laws, Trump intends to triple the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation officers and create a Deportation Task Force to identify illegal aliens and detain them until they can be deported. Sanctuary cities that do not cooperate with federal authorities in tracking and detaining illegal immigrants would be cut off from federal funding. For those that do enter the country legally, a biometric tracking system would be implemented to ensure that visitors do not overstay their visa,
which is the leading source of illegal immigration. In contrast, Clinton’s immigration reform plan centers on a pathway to full citizenship. She would continue to support President Obama’s executive actions, allow families regardless of status to buy into the Affordable Care Act exchanges, and focus deportment on illegal immigrants that are a threat to public safety. For immigrants already in the country, Clinton would create the Office of Immigrant Affairs, with $15 million in funding for naturalization programs such as adult English learning and citizenship education. Military In matters of the military, both Clinton and Trump support ending the sequester on defense spending. Trump proposes increases in recruitment and military spending to build up to 35 Marine Corp battalions, 350 naval ships and subma-

rines, and 1,200 aircraft fighters, along with updates to missile defense and cyber warfare. Clinton’s platform also involves strengthening the military, encouraging recruitment with compensation and benefit reform and improving on family services with an expansion of spouse employment programs and greater access to child care. However the bulk of Clinton’s plan focuses more on VA reform, using the “New Bradley Plan” to streamline the claims process and eliminate the VA’s notorious backlog of claims and appeals. The VA would work closely with the Department of Defense to ready themselves for outgoing veterans so they can be entered into the VA system more quickly. The expansion of VA services would also include more services for female soldiers and increased funding for mental health providers and programs that provide treatment for veterans with suicidal tendencies.
Outside of the VA, Clinton wants to continue support of the GI bill and expand the Work Opportunity Tax Credit to provide credit for businesses that hire disabled veterans. For Trump, his plan for VA reform starts with a turnover of personnel, appointing a VA secretary empowered to terminate or discipline the federal employees that have allowed the VA’s claims to backlog as far as they have. Trump would also create a commission to investigate the VA and present those findings to Congress to inform legislative reform. Individual issues with the VA would be addressed by a 24 hour hotline to the White House and the ability for veterans to seek care at private service providers. Reform of the visa system is also part of Trump’s plan, concluding that with fewer immigrants in the country, more health care resources will be available for veterans.

Bottlenecks in the mental health system create costly and dangerous problems across the state By Travis Fischer Everybody has had a bad day. Some people’s bad days are worse than others. Some people react to their bad days worse than others. Sometimes people react to their bad days so poorly that law enforcement has to step in. When a person has become a danger to themselves or others, they can be ordered by the court to be taken to a mental health facility where they can get the care and attention they need. This may mean a couple days of observation for them to calm down and get their head on straight, or it may mean addressing some long term issues. But in either case, finding a place for people who need mental health care has become a difficult and time consuming task in recent years as mental health resources have declined across the state, creating a variety of problems for everybody involved in the system, particularly when it comes to emergency committals. The emergency committal process begins with a call to law enforcement. Perhaps the subject just went through a bad break-up and is acting destructively. Perhaps they have had a little too much to drink at a family gathering and things are getting out of hand. It could be an individual in the middle of intense crisis or somebody with a history of issues that has finally gone too far. Whatever the reason, when an emergency committal is requested a sheriff’s deputy will escort the subject to the nearest emergency room where they can be checked out. From that point on, that deputy is legally bound by Iowa code to remain with

the subject until they can be placed in the custody of a hospital with a mental health unit. While the subject is being examined by the emergency room staff, the paperwork for emergency committal begins. Details of the case are given to the magistrate judge for review and, if they agree that the subject is in need of mental health treatment, an order is given for the deputy to transport them to the appropriate facility. However, that order cannot be completed until there is a facility willing to accept the subject. This is where law enforcement runs into the bottleneck. “We run into a problem when it comes to looking for bed space,” says Franklin County Chief Deputy Linn Larson. “The system is not staffed. It does not have enough beds to adequately care for those that are in need.” Bed space, in this case, doesn’t merely refer to an available room with an unoccupied mattress. It means that the hospital is staffed with nurses and psychiatric professionals capable of evaluating and caring for somebody with mental health needs. In a perfect world, when a deputy brings a subject into the emergency room for committal, the hospital would call the nearest mental health unit and ask them for a bed for the patient. During this time, the appropriate magistrate judge would be contacted to sign off on the court order for committal. Once a bed for the subject is found, the court order would be finished and hand delivered to the deputy, who would then transport the subject to that location and resume his normal duties. However, with the scarcity of available beds for mental health patients, every step in that process is extended. A deputy may have to wait several hours for a hospital to find an available bed. If the nearest mental health unit has nothing available, emergency room staff must go down the list of the next closest options, making phone calls until a bed can be found. Inability to find a bed quickly not only consumes the attention of hospital staff, but extends the time it takes for the deputy to complete their duty. Moreover, the longer it takes to find a bed, the more likely it is that the bed will be a considerable distance away. Larson says that it’s not uncommon for deputies to transport subjects as far as Davenport or Council Bluffs, each three hours away from Franklin County. This becomes a six hour round-trip for not just the deputy, but also the ambulance and crew required to transport them. “When one of our two ambulances in the county are out on a transfer, that’s a problem,” says Larson.

forcement to get people the care they need quickly. “Ames is a shining light,” says Larson. “The only time that they’ve turned us down is when they are full.” Some steps have been taken to speed up the committal process. Last year the state launched the CareMatch database, which syncs up the state’s mental health units to show in real time how many beds are available and where they are. However, Franklin County Magistrate Andrea Miller says that hospitals either aren’t using the system or don’t update it frequently enough for it to be useful. As the magistrate that signs off on mental health committals, Miller shares the frustration that law enforcement has with finding beds for patients and she is far from the only one. “That is the frustration throughout the state. There just aren’t enough beds available,” says Miller. “I know that the legislature has tried addressing this issue, but nothing that they have changed has made a dent in the issue of not having beds.” The number of available beds in the state has been on a steady decline for years, but a recent push by the state government to close state-run facilities has exasperated the issue. In a 2016 study from the Treatment Advocacy Center, Iowa ranks 51 in the nation for state hospital beds. Since 2010, the state has gone from 149 state hospital beds to 64, leaving two beds for every 100,000 people. “Those beds are gone and we don’t have fewer people,” said Miller. “Iowa somehow needs to attract more professionals in the line of mental health.” In 2015, Governor Terry Branstad unilaterally shut down two state hospitals, one in Mount Pleasant and another in Clarinda. The decision resulted in a bi-partisan attempt from the state legislature to re-open the facilities, however that bill was vetoed by the Governor, anticipating that private organizations and community services would pick up the slack. “Not only did they close beds, they closed the only facilities that specialized in psychogeriatrics and substance abuse,” says Russell Wood, Community Services Director in Franklin County. Wood says losing mental health care for the elderly and substance abuse specialists affects two large Iowa demographics, resulting in an increased strain on hospitals that are less equipped to effectively treat those specific needs. Instead, the state is continuing to shut down mental health units. Earlier this year the governor ordered the closure of 15 beds at the Independence Mental Health Institute. These beds were part of the Psychiatric Medical

Once at the receiving hospital, deputies can face additional delays as some hospitals won’t accept mental health patients without doing in-house examinations, even if the subject was already examined. Depending on how busy the hospital is, these additional tests can take several more hours. In addition, if the subject has committed a crime during their mental health crisis, a deputy will be needed to transport the subject back for their hearing, adding another multi-hour round trip to their duties down the line. The time it takes to process an involuntary committal from start to finish often consumes the bulk of an eight hour shift. In more extreme cases, it has taken as long as 59 hours to get somebody the care they need. The difficulties in finding bed space for mental health patients isn’t just a logistical issue for the Sheriff’s department, but a financial one as well. Needlessly tying up a deputy for six or more hours means not only does the Sheriff’s department pay for an otherwise out-of-commission deputy, but they must also bring in an off-duty officer to fill in for the occupied deputy. If no replacement officers can be found, that leaves a gap in the protection of the rest of the county. Every hour spent sitting in a hospital or driving halfway across the state is an hour that a deputy is not available to respond to other emergencies. “It becomes a nightmare issue for us,” says Larson. “We can have a lot of people on the road. But even fully staffed we can run out of people.” Adding to the frustration is the fact that hospitals are not obligated to take committals. Larson says that it is difficult to find beds for subjects that are belligerent, which can often be the case when handling an involuntary committal. “Not everybody is happy to go to the hospital,” says Larson. “Sometimes it does require people to physically restrain them.” Subjects that have been drinking can also be difficult to find beds for. Larson says that hospitals will sometimes make his deputies wait until the subject’s blood alcohol level has dropped before accepting them. “A lot of medical facilities pick and choose who they take,” says Larson. “We have no recourse. There’s no way to check that. We have to keep going down the list.” The difference in acceptance policy is different from hospital to hospital. Where some are particular about which patients they accept, others have become a reliable resource for law enforcement. Larson sings praises for Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames as an example of a mental health unit that works with law en-

Institution for Children unit. Juvenile cases are even more complicated than normal committals. With fewer facilities staffed to handle juvenile committals, Larson says that his deputies can often spend twelve hours just finding a bed for a juvenile subject. Like law enforcement, the strain that the lack of state beds has on the mental health system is also a financial issue for hospitals, particularly if the subject is on Medicaid. Once accepting a patient, hospitals are legally required to keep them, but Medicaid will only pay for medically necessary treatments. This leaves hospitals effectively eating the cost of caring for patients for weeks or even months at a time. It’s not all bad news for the state’s mental health system though. In place of hospital rooms, community based alternatives are cropping up to handle acute and long-term needs of people who need help. Wood says that Hope Wellness Center in Woodward is developing a Crisis Stabilization Unit where people in need of mental help can stay for up to five days for no charge so long as they aren’t in imminent danger. For people capable of realizing that they need some help, it is a resource they can use before a bad day becomes a dangerous one. On the other end, Wood says that transitional living centers are being established in Iowa Falls, Newton, Norwalk, and potentially in Ames. For people with nowhere to go, these facilities will help arrange low income housing, therapy, benefits, job placement, and community placement to get people back on their feet. “It costs a lot less and it’s more therapeutic to provide services in your community than in an institution,” says Wood. It is hoped that these kind of resources can alleviate the demand for bed space, either by giving people a place to go before intervention is needed or reducing the time they spend in a mental health bed. By expanding community based resources, it is hoped that the stigma of mental illness may fade away as well, encouraging people to get help before

they run into a crisis. “People, unfortunately, make a lot of poor choices when they’re in crisis,” says Wood. With little hope of reopening the state-run beds, a focus on community based preventative measures seems to be the direction that the state legislature is moving as well. “I think the goal is that we ultimately have more beds throughout the state at the sub-acute level for intervention,” says Iowa House Majority Leader Linda Upmeyer. “Then hopefully it won’t rise to the level where law enforcement has to take care of them.” At the legislative level, Upmeyer says one of the biggest challenges is the lack of mental health providers. A variety of strategies have been attempted to attract mental health professionals to the state, but few seem to work. “It’s a tough one, and I think it’s shared in many states across the country,” says Upmeyer. “We’re very interested in trying to find solutions.” For Deputy Larson, he’s hopeful that more preventive measures will help alleviate the demand for bed space, but he’ll believe it when he sees it. Regardless, he still insists that more attention should be given to increasing the number of beds. “I hope it works,” says Larson. “But there needs to be more beds in the state.”

Countersuit filed in Rayhons civil case Rebecca Peter
gleadernews@qwestoffice.net GARNER - The stepdaughters of a former state legislature filed a counter suit in Hancock County District Court. Suzan Brunes, Klemme, and Linda Dunshee, Urbandale, filed a counterclaim of alleged defamation against former state legislator Henry Rayhons of Garner, and against his son Dale Rayhons, Forest City. On April 22, 2015, jury acquitted Henry Rayhons of 3rd degree sexual abuse charges. The charge stemmed from a complaint that allegedly he engaged in sexual activity with his wife, Donna, an Alzheimer’s patient, on May 23, 2014, after being told she was not capable of giving consent. Donna Rayhons, the mother of Brunes and Dunshee, was a resident at the time at Concord Care Center in Garner. She died on Aug. 8, 2014. The trial triggered a nation-wide debate on whether or not a person with dementia has the capability to consent to sex and received extensive state and national coverage by news media. In July, Henry Rayhons filed suit against Brunes and Dunshee asking for an unspecified amount of punitive
HUISINGA from page 1 Representing the interests of the people of the district is of utmost importance, as well as bringing our share of state monies to the district to ensure we provide the supports and services needed in this rural area in which we live. What are your qualifications? I am known as a problem solver and a hard worker with an ability to produce solutions that may not occur to others. My talents include combining elements and individuals in order to produce a completely different slant on an idea or product or use. I have a wide range of experience in the workforce and have advocated for people all of my life in many areas and stages of life. I was reared in the district, have lived in several other places, returning to my home area 30+ years ago. I bring a wide perspective, having been influenced by experiences and places quite different from my home. I have volunteered all of my life and attempted to use any talents that I was given for the greater good. I have been a public health and hospice nurse for most of my 30-year career in nursing with a deep interest in mental health. 2. What do believe should be the goals and/or priorities for the 2017 legislative session as they pertain to: •Agriculture and the environment: It is imperative that we continue to develop clean, renewable energy in Iowa, decrease our dependence on fossil fuels, and protect our environment. We are leaders in wind energy and should continue our efforts to be leaders in our commitment to energy efficiency. We need to increase consumption of and investment in locally grown JUDGE from page 1 the theory very well whether or not the crop insurance safety net works.” “We have always had direct subsidy supports of some type,” she said. “There’s been some kind of safety net for producers that kicks in below the cost of production to help farmers whether through a low-price time.” “That’s what people have talked about as being ‘hand-outs’,” she said. “The truth of the matter is that it’s price supports that benefit consumers. If we had to pay for our food in accordance with the cost of other goods and services that have risen over the years, we’d be paying much, much more at the grocery store for everything we put in our mouth.” The Farm Bill, she said, has helped to stabilize agriculture. “There has to be something there to make certain family farmers can stay in business. Small, independent family farmers, that have been the backbone of this state are very much are at the mercy and whims of the market.” During her tenure as Iowa Secretary of Agriculture, Judge “learned very quickly about the differences in agriculture across the country. “We are so oriented in Iowa to commodity crops corn and beans, beef and hogs, she continued. “What may work for us may not work for someone growing rice in Louisiana.” “It’s hard to quantify what a family farm is. It’s hard to put a dollar sign to is or even an acreage. All those issues are on the table and believe me, they can lobby as hard as we for their portion of agriculture.” Judge said soil and water conservation will be another issue.
damages following his acquittal of the sexual abuse charges last year. Dr. John Brady, ABCM Corp. (Concord Care Center), and prosecutor Assistant Attorney General Susan Krisko were also named as defendants. Krisko has since been dismissed from the case. In their counterclaim on filed Oct. 11, Brunes and Dunshee state that after August of 2014, Henry Rayhons “participated in interviews with numerous media outlets in which he communicated to audiences statements that were defamatory” and “resulted in injuries” to Dunshee and Brunes. They also dispute Rayhons’ allegations that they denied access to Donna Rayhons during the last weeks of her life; that they demanded criminal charges be brought against Rayhons; and that they placed Donna in the nursing home without his knowledge. Likewise, in their suit against Dale Rayhons, they claim that Rayhons “participated in interviews with numerous media outlets and on social media in which he communicated to audiences statement that were defamatory” which “resulted in injuries.” In both instances they asked the court to enter judgment for defamation and for such other and further relief. foods. Encourage crop diversification and maintain leadership in ethanol production. •Funding for education: Education is the number one priority and needs to be funded as such. Iowa’s status as number one in education has plummeted to 26th -36th, depending on what is being measured. Our schools need to be fully funded and the legislature needs to be compliant with their own laws regarding the funding time-table. Districts are anywhere in size from two to 555 square miles. Rural Iowa schools need a funding mechanism that does not reduce funding for the educational programs. Supplemental State Aid needs to be granted 14 months prior to certification of a school district’s budget and at the rate of state growth. We need to trust the administrators to have local control of their budgets. Currently administrators have control over 8 percent of their budgets. We need to invest in our community colleges and work to freeze tuition at state universities and should make available increased grants for private colleges while supporting any effort and / or plan for school loans to be refinanced. The rate of interest on education loans is exploitive. •Medicaid/health care/mental health issues: The changes to Medicaid~ Managed Care Organizations or MCOs have been an abysmal failure and have created havoc for patients, providers and agencies who need to do business with them. Many smaller service providers have had to close their doors due to inefficiencies and failure of the MCOs to pay their bills on a timely basis. Patients’ choice for providers is reduced, reimbursement is decreased such that many providers opt out, placing a larger burden and decreased funding to those agencies that continue to do business with the “It is critically important that we continue the hard work people have been doing to conserve the soil in Iowa,” she stated. “Our water quality issues become more serious every year. We are at a point now where we cannot deny that. We are going to have to take measures.” Judge wants to make certain there will be assistance for family farmers to put soil conservation measures in place. One successful program in Iowa has been cost sharing where the producer put up a percentage and the state also puts up a percentage of the cost of construction structure. Judge also commented on the contentious 2016 presidential election. “We have not been at this point before,” she stated. “We need to pull back and reassess what’s going in this country for the sake of the country.” “For the sake of this democracy we have to get back on track and start listening and talking to each other across the political aisle.” She said she was able to work with Republicans during her tenure as a state senator and as Iowa Secretary of Agriculture. She worked as a mediator between farmers and lenders during the farm crisis of the 1980s. “It’s tough, tough work, but I learned how to listen and how to get to a consensus.” That’s the kind of model I think we need to get back to.” “We can’t go into another presidential term with the opposition party – be that Republican or Democrat – with the idea we’re going to obstruct … cause gridlock and do everything we can to make the other party look bad.”
Goodell hires new city clerk Rebecca Peter
gleadernews@qwestoffice.net GOODELL – The Goodell City Council approved the appointment of Veronica Barrus of Belmond as the new city clerk. Barrus will begin her new duties on Nov. 1. The council set her pay rate at $12 per hour. Barrus was one of two applicants for the position. The current city clerk, Janet Dietel, will continue on a part-time basis through March 1, 2017 to train Barrus and for completion of the fiscal 2017-18 budget. The city was recently awarded a grant from the Hancock County Foundation. The matching grant will be used to purchase new computer software for utility billing and bank reconciliation. Dietiel and Barrus will attend a software training session at Clear Lake on Nov.10. The City of Goodell is eligible for additional franchise fee
money from Alliant Energy, according to Mayor Ryan Halfpop. Currently, the bulk of the fee goes to Hancock County with the city receiving a smaller portion. The council voted to have the city apply for the additional franchise fee from Alliant. The fee would go towards the city’s general fund. Halfpop also reported that an old city truck that was listed on Craig’s List received only one bid of $1,500. The council voted to accept the bid. In other matters, councilman Tom Bonjour reported that the Goodell Community Center continues to be a busy place. Councilman Alan Pralle reported that two members of the Goodell Fire Department attended a training school at Fort Dodge. The fire department will have a practice burn in two week, weather permitting, Pralle said. A van west of the fire station will be utilized for the training session.
MCOs. There is no explanation for adding a layer of administration across the entire spectrum of what was formerly known as Medicaid in Iowa, and expecting to save money in the delivery of care. The state run Medicaid program was efficient . It was not without room for improvement, but was far superior and less expensive than the MCOs. Mental Health Care - That we have cut our psychiatric bed availability in the state is deplorable. It is inexcusable that two of the four MHIs in the state were closed without offering increased community supports or access to and coordination with evidence based programs for self care. This leaves patients and their families in vulnerable positions, in crisis and becomes a law enforcement issue rather than a health care issue. We need local care for emergent situations of all types in all areas of the state. For the chronically mentally ill, we need to encourage availability and coordination of programs that focus on teaching self care and maintenance to strengthen our communities •Jobs and economic development incentives: We need to work to raise the minimum wage. No one who works forty hours per week should live in poverty. Women make $0.77 for every dollar that men make, and is worse if you are a woman of color. We need
equal pay for equal work. It is the right thing to do. Iowa companies should have first option at state contracts to keep business in the state. Corporations that fail to pay their workers need to be prosecuted and small businesses should have state’s protection from unfair competition. •Eminent Domain: We need to refrain from using eminent domain as a means for usurping land owner’s rights for anything other than an imperative project for the public good. We need to absolutely stop using eminent domain for private profit. Currently the Bakken pipeline is being built diagonally through 18 Iowa counties without the company having obtained all permits, using eminent domain and will necessitate building the pipeline under major rivers including the Mississippi, placing our rich land , arguably the richest in the world , and our water in jeopardy. •Public Safety: We need to teach our communities “emotional CPR” and Mental Health First Aid so that mental health patients do not become law enforcement issues. We need to support our law enforcement officials with the equipment they need both practical and educational to support the services that communities expect to keep them safe, including adequate training and education to ensure quick response times for first responders.
BAXTER from page 1 around the entire state of Iowa and gotten to know people and issues on a grass roots level. My first term in office has been a huge learning experience and provided much personal growth and relational connection across the state and in both parties in the House and Senate. I look forward to building on this foundation and making a difference for my constituents and for all of Iowa. What are your qualifications? Apart for being a long-term public servant in pastoral ministry, I am also an avid outdoorsman and very connected to rural Iowa. This past session I sat on five committees in the legislature. They were the Judiciary Committee, the Environmental Protection Committee, the Local Government Committee, the Public Safety Committee and the Economic Development Appropriation Subcommittee. These committees have given me extensive insight into the needs and challenges of Iowa moving forward. I have been named by Farm Bureau as a “Friend of Agriculture”, endorsed by the NRA and named a “Friend of Business” by the ABI. I am a broad based conservative and not focused on only one or two issues. I have a track record of working with legislators from both parties to get things done. 2. What do you believe should be the goals and/or priorities for the 2017 legislative session as they pertain to: •Agriculture and the environment: Our biggest challenge we face in the next session is coming up with a reliable and ongoing revenue source for water quality. I am open to look at all of the idea’s, but am protective of education funding. Iowa has been making measurable progress in recent years, but we have much work to do. Our farmers have cut down the amounts of herbicides and pesticides do to new GMO’s and innovative farming techniques. Iowa is leading the way with voluntary new practices of grass waterways, buffer strips. cover crops and bio-reactors.
More farmers need to participate in these voluntary measures. Toward the end of last session we also had a presentation on a promising new municipal nitrate reduction treatment technique that is being refined. We have a problem, but science, technology and our great Iowa universities are focusing on this issues. Behind every problem is an opportunity for innovation and new economic development. I expect Iowa innovation and technology to will lead the way in developing effective ways to clean up Iowa and the environment around the world. •Funding for education: Education funding will be my top priority for new money spending for the 2018 budget. We have a great education system in Iowa and statistics do not tell the full story. For example, Iowa tests every student while some states test only their top tier students. That is not a fair comparison. We need to address transportation costs in our rural districts and move to an equal per student allowance in all districts. Many rural school districts are struggling with declining enrolments while at the same time getting up to $175 less per student in supplemental school aid than larger urban schools. I believe in equal aid for all districts. •Medicaid/health care/mental health issues: The Governors Managed Health Care rollout has had a shaky start, but is making steady progress. Prior to his program, medicaid in Iowa was growing at 16% annually and was unsustainable. Within a few short years it was going to bankrupt the state leaving no money for education, the criminal justice system, maintenance and repair or infrastructure rebuilding. The challenge now is improving services, reeling in the Obama Care mandates and addressing our mental health care system in Iowa. There is no doubt that closing down two of our older mental health care facilities in Iowa left us with a bed shortage. I was very concerned about the timing. Looking ahead, I believe we can stream line the system, work with local hospitals and possibly build new regional facilities

Decreassing entrollment in schools topic of discussion Landon Evanson hancockcountynews@midamericapubcom
BRITT – Decreased student enrollment in schools was the key topic discussed at the West Hancock School Board meeting on October 17. “We’re down 38 students and that’s a huge drop from last year,” board member Wayne Kronemann said. “We were down 16 last year, so that’s 54 (kids) over the last two years and when you take that times the state aid that you get per student, that’s a loss of $350,000 in revenue. Kronemann touched on the fact that has been stuck at zero to 2.5 percent over the past couple of years, which is also a concern. “Couple that with the fact that you’re losing 54 kids and state aid is very low in the last few years along with increased transportation, book and electricity costs and you just can’t make it. Luckily for West Hancock, we have been very frugal and staff-minded and budget-minded,” Kronemann said. “We have very good budget balance, but the fact is that when you add staff salary increases (three or four percent), which is 78 percent of our budget, your fund balances are going to go down very fast if we don’t start to do something.” Kronemann noted that what the legislature in Des Moines were doing
strongly affected school districts. “Though we still have 500 kids,” Kronemann continued, “The unfortunate part is that about 40 percent of our legislature are home school people, they don’t give public schools the same considerations that we got maybe 20 years ago. I think (the legislature) have an agenda to force schools into more consolidation, to eliminate small schools and work toward county schools,” Kronemann said. “That would be my guess, and those things have been mentioned (at School Board meetings).” Kronemann pointed to West Hancock’s budget balancing as a positive, and hoped that things would improve in the coming years. “We’re not in a panic mode, but we’re in a be careful mode,” Kronemann said. “Careful what we’re spending money on and hope to God that it’s just a couple year trend and we’re losing so many kids.” On another topic, Stacey Goepel noted revelaed that there had been two bids for fans in the high school gymnasium, both of which were in the $30,000 range. The board discussed the possibility of finding other solutions that included gathering other bids on less expensive models and what West Hancock High School principal Dan Peterson referred to as “financially feasible.”

Fast. Cheap. Easy. KANAWHA from page 1 spring,” Litch said. “They will address the intersection at 5th and Main streets,” which is “the main turning point for trucks and is just too narrow (at the moment).” Litch noted that other areas of concern will receive attention, as well, including repairing the drain tile on North Elm Street and repair to the side walls of City Hall. “Other streets will get paved and there is set money for addressing the problem of dilapidated houses.” The loan is scheduled to be paid off in ten years.
BRITT from page 1 others for a cost of $700,” according to council person Dwight Leerar. After rearranging the squad room, such adjustments were necessary. The high school and elementary schools currently utilize portable stop signs during school hours, but the council felt it was necessary to install additional signs because “There is a lot of after-hours activity at the school and we have two city parks that border that street.” Leerar said. “We felt a need to control the traffic a little better.”
that have less maintenance costs and offer better services. We also need to focus on addiction prevention and rehabilitation programs. Addictions left untreated add substantial new caseloads annually to the already overloaded mental health care system. Unfortunately, our current system dumps many people with mental health care issues into our prison system. We have a lot of work in front of us to fix this problem. •Jobs and economic development incentives: Many regions in Iowa have adequate jobs. The big lack is a willing workforce and suitable entry level housing. Unfortunately, our over generous government entitlement programs in Iowa have put a lot of able workers on the sidelines rather than in the work force. This needs to be addressed and changed! I beehive in helping people do and become their best. We need a graduated system of entitlement reform that diminishes assistance as career development and job income increases. We should also implement a mandatory drug-testing program for assistance recipients similar to random workplace drug testing. Unfortunately, our welfare fraud investigation process in Iowa is also hampered because much of the entitlement funding comes from federal money. There is an intentional effort to give away more entitlements each year to justify a higher budget request for the next fiscal year. This is counterproductive and contributes to a shrinking workforce. •Eminent Domain: I am opposed to eminent domain being used against the will of the clear majority of the people of Iowa to push a corporate project like the Clean Line which only had 15% support. I joined the fight to stop that abuse. However, I don’t want to take it totally out of the toolbox if a development project is clearly in the best interests of Iowa and has the support of the majority of the people. I do believe that affected landowners should be compensated at or above fair market value. I am equally op-
posed to using eminent domain for a “possible future project” that has not been viewed and approved by the public with specific target dates and funding in place. •Public Safety: Our number one public safety issue in Iowa relates to our shrinking State Trooper numbers. We are now down to the smallest force in many years and face a huge retirement rate in the next several years. We seldom have new academies and our training facility at Camp Dodge is infested with black mold. This is only one example of the state neglecting timely maintenance and repair on state facilities because of budget shortfalls only to cost more in the long run. As mentioned earlier, we also have a huge drug and alcohol addiction problem in Iowa. Prevention and rehabilitation needs to be addressed. It is a big public safety and mental health care issue in Iowa. Finally, Iowa needs to continue proactive programs to identify and weed out homegrown terrorist threats. We are safer than other states, but the danger is still present. 3. Other comments: I want to thank the people of District #8 for their vote of confidence in me as a public servant. I am constantly learning and willing to discuss issues that affect my constituents whether we agree or not. I am a fiscal conservative and will work to protect our taxpayers money and not spend more than we take in each year. I will also work to get rid of unnecessary programs and modernize existing services and send the savings back to our taxpayers. I will fight to ensure that we fulfill our budget commitments to the people of Iowa while not burdening them with unnecessary trivial new taxes that are clearly against the will of the majority of the people. If I ever do support a tax increase no matter how small, it must clearly be demonstrated that it is the will of the majority of the people of Iowa and even then I will first look for alternative ways to fund the initiative. I believe in small and limited government.

Local farmers haul grain to the MaxYield elevator at Garner. According to the latest the USDA Iowa Crop Progress and Condition report, 6.1 days were suitable for fieldwork last week, however the 2016 harvest for corn and soybeans remains behind the previous year and the five-year average. State-wide, about 52 percent of the corn crop has been harvest – about 4 days behind average. About 77 percent of the soybean crop is harvested. The statistics for the North Central Iowa District show about 58 percent of corn and 91 percent of soybeans are harvested.
New childcare center being organized Rebecca Peter
gleadernews@qwestoffice.net GARNER – A shortage of childcare services in Garner has prompted a group of volunteers to organize the non-profit Garner Community Christian Child Care (GC4). The center will meet in the south wing of St. Boniface Catholic Church, 680 Bush Ave., Garner (in the former Head Start program rooms). The tentative start date is Jan. 2, 2017. A “meet and greet” for parents and others interested in learning more about GC4 will be held Thursday, Nov. 17, 4 to 7 p.m. at the St. Boniface classrooms. “There are many families who need to take their children to other towns for child care,” said Heather Gorder, a member of the GC4 committee. “Many child care centers and daycare homes have waiting lists. Some day care providers in Garner have retired and others plan to close their home daycare in the near future.” The GC4 committee has been working with the Department of Human Services and Child Care Resource and Referral and has toured childcare centers around Iowa to gather information and make plans. Plans include the following: •Enrollment will be limited to 75 children, ages 6 weeks to 12 years. •Hours will be 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. •GC4 is non-denominational but
will have a faith-based curriculum. Age-appropriate activities, nutritious meals and snacks, and comfortable places to relax and sleep will be offered. •The center will have a director and staff who meet qualifications, including background checks. •Rates have yet to be determined. Donations welcome As with any new endeavor, there are a number of start-up costs involved. Start-up costs for the Garner Community Christian Child Care are an estimated $150,000. This includes building modifications, rent, furnishings, supplies and hiring a director and staff. The GC4 committee is seeking tax-deductible donations to meet these needs. Parents and volunteers interested in learning how they can support this community opportunity are invited to attend the Nov. 17 information meet and greet or contact Heather Gorder at 641-425-2230.

Addams Family Values, the 1993 dark comedy, is a sequel to the 1991 The Addams Family and continues with the story of a growing family: Gomez and Morticia are expecting; and Uncle Fester becomes engaged to the new nanny. It will be at the Avery Theater on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. as part of its Turn-Back Tuesday offerings; it carries a PG-13 rating. The movie Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will not be shown on this date. On the first Tuesday of each month, a classic movie is shown at 7 p.m. In lieu of regular admission, patrons bring personal care products (soaps, shampoos, shaving items, etc.) for God’s Pantry, a Garner-based food closet. The free movie encourages patrons to support the local community through regular donations to God’s Pantry. The movie reunites the original cast of characters: Raul Julia as Gomez Addams, the patriarch; Angelica Houston as Morticia, the matriarch; Christopher Lloyd as Uncle Fester; Christina Ricci as daughter Wednesday; Jimmy Workman as son Pugsley; John Franklin as Cousin Itt; Carel Struyken as Lurch, the butler and chauffeur; and Christopher Hart’s Hand as Thing. New to “Addams Family” are Carol Kane as Grandmama Addams; Dana Ivey as Mrs. Itt; and Joan Cusack as nanny Debbie Jellinsky. Christine Baranski and Peter MacNicol are Becky Martin-Granger and Gary Granger, respectively, the husband and wife in charge of Camp Chippewa. According to CommonSenseMedia.org, the sequel is “more complex and just as witty as the first film... Joan Cusack is marvelous as the greedy black widow, and the addition of Pubert to the family offers a lot of laughs, especially when we learn how much his parents are enjoying Morticia’s painful labor. However, a lot of violent action (with too-near misses) involves him, and some parents might feel uncomfortable with it …The scenes at camp are among the movie’s cleverest.

more violence and sexual innuendo than the first. In his review dated Nov. 19, 1993, for the Los Angeles Times, Peter Rainer wrote: The movie’s central joke is that the Addamses are a lot more stable--they have better “family values”--than the straight-arrows on the outside. The camp that Wednesday and Pugsley attend is a nightmare of enforced cheerfulness where the sunny blond apple-polishers are favored and the nerdy, the minorities and a Jewish boy (David Krumholtz) with a crush on Wednesday are squelched. The film could use more interaction between the Addamses and the “real” world… The Addamses are, by definition, subversive, and a few more scenes like [that] would have worked wonders. Next, the original 1947 “Miracle on 34th Street,” starring Maureen O’Hara and the young Natalie Wood, comes to the Avery on Dec. 6.

Bob Baumgard, Garner-Hayfield-Ventura (GHV) FFA Advisor, Josh Chizek, GHV FFA president and Ana Nannenga, GHV FFA secretary, recently accepted a $2500 contribution from MaxYield Cooperative for the chapter’s new greenhouse project. The GHV FFA also accepted matching funds from Land O’Lakes Foundation and CoBank’s “Sharing Success” program on MaxYield’s behalf, which increased the total contribution to $6500. MaxYield agronomy specialist Kody Trampel presented the contributions to the GHV FFA. The new greenhouse will expand learning opportunities and the agricultural curriculum for GHV students and the FFA chapter.
Wesley Public Library receives Level III accreditation from the State Library of Iowa DES MOINES, Iowa – The State Library of Iowa has announced that the Wesley Public Library has met the conditions for the highest level of state accreditation as outlined in “In Service to Iowa: Public Library Standards Sixth Edition.” Achieving accreditation requires a significant ongoing local commitment to high quality library services.
The Wesley Public Library has been recognized for its efforts in all areas of library operations including governance and funding, staffing, library collection, services, public relations, access and facilities. The accreditation is valid through June 30, 2020. Accredited libraries receive a higher rate of compensation through
the State Library’s Enrich Iowa program. They also receive a Certificate of Accreditation signed by Governor Terry Branstadt, Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds, State Librarian Michael Scott and Iowa Commission of Libraries Chairperson Dale Vande Haar.
MaxYield hosts grain importers from Mexico On Thursday, October 20, MaxYield Cooperative hosted representatives from five Mexican grain importers at their grain facility in Belmond, IA. The grain buyers were visiting cooperatives, grain end-users, and corn growers in Iowa prior to the U.S. Grains Council Export Exchange scheduled October 24-26 in Detroit, Michigan. “We were thrilled to host this team in Belmond,” stated MaxYield CEO Keith Heim. “It is important that we further develop and strengthen the relationships between Mexican corn buyers and Midwest cooperatives and grain exporters. Even with local feed and ethanol demand for corn, there is still a large demand for Iowa corn outside the U.S.” The grain buyer’s began their Iowa tour October 19th in Jefferson, before
traveling to other cooperatives and grain users, ultimately to MaxYield’s facility in Belmond Thursday morning. “As the largest buyer of U.S. corn, Mexico continues to be a bright spot for U.S. ag exports,” said Iowa Corn Growers Association Directory Jerry Maier, a farmer from Eagle Grove. “U.S. corn exports reached a record high this marketing year. Our Mexican grain and feed buyers rely on the quality and availability of U.S. corn and distillers grains which are shipped directly from states like Iowa, keeping transportation cost low. We look forward to further expanding this important market in the future.” In the 2015/2016 marketing year, an estimated 13.3 million tons of U.S. corn was exported to Mexico, a 17
percent increase from the previous year of 11.3 million tons and a 75 percent increase from 2010/2011. In addition, distiller’s grains experienced a 19 percent increase from the previous marketing year, increasing from 1.59 million tons to an estimated 1.9 million tons. Held every other year by the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) and the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), Export Exchange brings together international buyers with U.S. sellers of corn, sorghum, barley, distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS), corn gluten meal and corn gluten feed. This year’s Export Exchange conference is slated to be the largest on record with more than 215 buyers and end-users from more than 35 countries organized into 19 USGC trade teams.

Without public notices, how would you know?
A hidden notice is no notice at all. Public notices in our newspaper let everyone know what is happening that might affect them. Legislators in Iowa understand an informed citizenry is the core of our democracy. “Let the people know the facts, and the country will be safe,” is how Abraham Lincoln put it.
Improving legislative intent Since knowing is so important, we joined the other newspapers in Iowa and also publish our public notices online at www.iowanotices.org. You can quickly find notices about things that might affect you no matter where they are printed. All notices, in one location, at no cost to you. It is a public service to our readers because we believe in democracy just like our legislators.

WE STAND TOGETHER IN THE FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER! Medical experts agree that early detection is a woman’s best defense in overcoming breast cancer. In fact, the National Breast Cancer Foundation reports that when breast cancer is detected in the early, localized stage, the five-year survival rate is 98 percent. The organization encourages every woman to develop an early detection plan consisting of breast self-exams, clinical breast exams and mammograms based on age and health history. To learn how to perform a monthly breast self-exam, go to www.nationalbreastcancer.org or ask your healthcare professional. A family physician or gynecologist should perform a clinical breast exam as part of an annual visit, and can advise women on the frequency of mammography scheduling. Share the aware on Facebook and Twitter to show your support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. Share Tweets and posts from Twitter and Facebook to help save lives with important screening information, healthy lifestyle tips, early detection guidelines and more.
In recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, these sponsors have voiced their support for a cure through donations for Breast Cancer Research. We thank them for taking action in the fight for a cure. Tesene, Maurer & Maurer Dental
