The Beast must win the love of Belle before he can once again become a prince.

several years that we have done a musical that can also appeal to our much younger audience members, and this Disney show certainly has universal appeal.” Elizabeth May is the drama director. “We have 48 members in the cast and one of the challenges of doing a musical is always scheduling.

Oh deer

Many years ago our garden was being whipped by the wind and so we decided to plant a row of bushes to protect it. Later, we built a small feedlot south of there. A row of trees next to the bushes made sense to keep snow out of the feedlot and the cattle comfortable. We have been buying seedlings from the soil office fundraiser for as long as I can remember. Those people do a great job promoting soil conservation. It must be frustrating for them. The tradition of farmer as master over the land usually trumps the idea of working with nature instead of destroying it for short term gain. It is too bad that the people at the soil office are having their work destroyed by a related government agency. Yesterday I discovered several trees had been shredded by deer. We had watered, weeded, and mulched those trees for years and they had finally taken off. Now they are torn to shreds. I’ve come up with a few simple measures that could not only save lives and money, but also aid the hungry. Many taxpayer dollars could be saved if the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) were restricted from jurisdiction over private property. When deer are on our property they should be subject to our rule not the rule of the state. Did you know it is illegal to sell harvested deer meat? Restaurants in the United States that serve venison, import it from New Zealand. Dumb. Then there are all the hungry people who get food stamps to buy groceries. I remember back in my days in the mountains of western Montana, going to apply for food stamps. Even before the Spotted Owl scam, jobs were pretty scarce at times in timber country. I looked at all that paper work and walked out. I lived with a couple guys

who could shoot straight and I could help carry, so we survived on a diet that lacked the diversity of a grocery store. It is incredible to me that an animal that costs $4 billion and 200 lives a year in vehicle crashes is managed to provide sport for a tiny minority. That we need a license from the state to shoot a deer should be shocking to people in a free country. We’ve spent $4 trillion on a war on terror that hasn’t impacted as many Americans as the deer. In fact, much of that $4 trillion acted as a recruitment tool or incitement, not as a deterrent. Without the incentive of our air bases in Saudi Arabia, 9/11 very well could have never happened. And our reaction to it was the most costly part. I’m not trying to discount the threat of jihad, I’m only offering perspective on another problem caused by excessive government power. I couldn’t ﬁnd a solid number on the cost of deer damage to crops and residential plantings, but even without those added, one motorcyclist hitting a deer on the interstate should be enough that our government should not only stay completely out of the deer management business, but should encourage any hungry person to seek one for their freezer at any time. It would be ﬁne with me if the DNR stuck to enforcing trespass laws. That would take care of all the environmental issues they are presently responsible for. Individual people should be accountable, not an easily manipulated bureaucracy. Any comments On this column are more than welcome through a letter to the editor or directly to me at 4selfgovernment@gmail.com. There is also plenty I’d like to share at www.alternativebyfritz.com.

House Calls. Bringing healthcare to you.

Last week, we learned that living healthier can reduce the chance of getting diabetes type 2. How can a person develop a healthier lifestyle? Here are some tips from the National Diabetes Education Program to help you make gradual lifestyle changes that can help you prevent type 2 diabetes. If you are overweight, set a weight loss goal you can meet. Check in with your healthcare provider before starting any weight loss plan. Aim to lose about ﬁve to seven percent of your current weight and keep it off. Keep track of your daily food intake and physical activity in a log book and review it daily. For support, invite family and friends to get involved. Make healthier food choices everyday. Keep healthier snacks such as fruit and vegetables at home and at work. Pack healthier lunches. Select lean meats and poultry. Choose more ﬁsh, beans, peas, nuts and

Jennifer Snyder seeds as protein sources. Strive to become more physically active. Take a brisk walk during lunchtime. Take the stairs instead of the elevator or park further away from your ofﬁce. If you are in need of diabetes education or nutrition counseling, call HCHS diabetic educator Jennifer Snyder at 641-843-5014.

Iowa Voting System is Secure Guest Editorial By Paul Pate Iowa Secretary of State Our most fundamental rights as Americans come from the ability to choose our representative form of government. It is up to us, we the people, to defend and maintain these rights. The easiest way to do that is to vote. Thousands of our fellow Iowans fought and died to protect those freedoms. As the state’s Commissioner of Elections, I urge every Iowan to honor our veterans casting a vote on or before Election Day. “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction,” Ronald Reagan once said. Those words still ring true today. There has been a lot of talk in the past few months about cybersecurity and the integrity of our elections system. My pledge to every Iowan is that you will be able to cast your vote on Election Day and your vote will count. I take the integrity of our elections very seriously. In fact, it is my number one priority. My office is working with all 99 county auditors to do everything we can to protect the integrity of elections. Let me clear up a few misconcep-

tions: Our voting systems are not accessible through the internet. They are also not connected to each other. Therefore, a system-wide intrusion into the system is all but impossible. Also, Iowans vote on paper ballots, not machines. As for the voter registration database, we have full-time staff dedicated to preventing the Iowa voting records from being compromised. We have multiple levels of programs and protocols in place to automatically detect any attempted intrusions. We also rely on the 10,000 serving on the frontline of our elections. Our neighbors are our pollworkers and pollwatchers. The system is bipartisan to ensure the integrity. You have my assurance that the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office is dedicated to keeping Iowa’s elections clean and fair. I also want every eligible Iowan to register to vote and to participate in our elections. Please, make your voice heard. There is much more than the presidential race on the ballot. Offices in the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Iowa Legislature and in your county are being contested. These elections impact you, your family and your community. Be a voter. If you need any help finding your polling place or any more information related to casting your ballot, visit sos.iowa.gov and click on the ‘General Election Information’ icon.

Counting down the days It’s almost over. Thank the deity of your choosing because this is America and, for at least the next few days, the First Amendment still gives you that right. But no, this column is not about Donald Trump, or even the presidential race at all. Plenty of print has been dedicated to the disaster at the top of the ticket. Instead, let’s take a step back and remember how we got to this point. A point where so many people are so sick and tired of our dysfunctional government that a candidate whose scandals are too numerous to list has still made it within spitting distance of the presidency simply by running on the platform of “burn it all to the ground.” It’s not likely that Trump will win. Anything could happen, but it’s looking increasingly likely that President Trump will not be “draining the swamp.” Which is a shame because that’s probably the one campaign issue he’s right about. In fact, I can think of a particular turtle that definitely needs to be relocated out of Washington D.C. Unfortunately, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell isn’t up for re-election until 2020. Fortunately, many of McConnell’s fellow Republican congressmen are up for re-election this year. So, before we go to the polls and finish this election for good, let’s take a walk down memory lane. Remember back to that ancient time of 2008 when President George W. Bush’s eight year disaster finished big with the worst economic recession since the Great Depression. The newly elected President Obama came into office with an overwhelming popular mandate to fix the mess. Republicans at this point had two options. Concede defeat gracefully and work with the Democratic majority to set things right; or dig in, double down, and prevent anybody from doing anything in the hopes that if they could keep the President from doing anything productive, people would vote them back into power. They chose the latter. Before President Obama even took office, Republican leadership made the decision to turn every issue, big or small, into a partisan battle. Obama’s first term in office was met by a record setting number of Re-

publican filibusters, including the filibuster of a bill to provide medical care for 9/11 first responders. As former Senator George Vonovich famously admitted, “If he was for it, we had to be against it.” Compromise and bi-partisan cooperation on even the most pragmatic of issues was taken off the GOP platform. The result was the least productive congress since before World War II and the fostering of a toxic political environment that lead to our current political fiasco. Remember 2011, when the word “debt” triggered Republicans into a fiscally suicidal march against raising the debt ceiling, a non-controversial matter of business that sounds bad but really just means that the United States Government promises to pay their bills. This dangerously irresponsible game of chicken with the economy threatened an international stock market crash and resulted in the downgrading of the government’s credit rating. One year later, they were at it again. With the Bush Tax Cuts set to expire at the end of 2012, it was up to Congress to decide whether or not to extend them. Democrats proposed to extend the tax cuts for everybody making less than $250,000. This proposal was filibustered in the Senate by Republicans, who decided that if the wealthy didn’t get to keep their tax break, nobody would. Make no mistake, the GOP used my paycheck and yours as leverage to negotiate for continuing tax breaks for the wealthy. Then we get to 2013. After their 45th failed attempt to kill the Affordable Care Act, Congressional Republicans decided to just stop funding the government all together, resulting in a 16 day government shutdown that put 800,000 people on furlough, shut down government services across the country, and cost the economy billions of dollars. This is not how you govern. This is a party that has put politics over pragmatism at every opportunity. Their obstruction has done untold economic harm to this nation and only resulted in further political po-

larization. And it goes on today as Judge Merrick Garland continues to set the record for the longest wait for a Supreme Court nomination hearing in U.S. history. Garland will probably not fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Antonin Scalia. Not because he’s unqualified, he is. Not because he’s too liberal, he’s as centrist a pick as you’ll ever see. He won’t be selected because Republican leadership has never accepted that Barack Obama was voted in as President and they aren’t going to start now. And that obstruction is set to continue. In March, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and our very own Senator Chuck Grassley excused their abandonment of responsibility by saying that the next president should be the one to choose Scalia’s replacement. Apparently the people who decided Barack Obama should be president in 2012 weren’t good enough to listen to. Today, before this election is even over, they’re already preparing to move the goal posts further. Hillary Clinton hasn’t even been elected yet, but if she is, congressional Republicans are already throwing around the idea that that they’ll continue to hold up the process for another four years. In this, the GOP and Donald Trump couldn’t be more alike. They only accept the results of the elections they win. And don’t even start with “both parties are equally bad” line. They aren’t. You know they aren’t. Being the opposition party means finding compromise, not sabotaging the foundation of our civilization. The damage the Republican party has done to our system of government is objective reality. So when you go to the polls next week, don’t just think about the White House. That’s only one branch of power. If you really want to “drain the swamp,” down ticket is where you start.

Joe Pritchard named Professional of the Year by Auto Rental News Auto Rental News honored two individuals as Professional of the Year award winners on October 27 at an awards ceremony held during the 2016 Auto Rental Summit in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. This year, a Professional of the Year award was presented in a new category dedicated to an associate from a vendor company to the car rental industry. The criteria for this award was based on customer service, operations management, sales, leadership, and industry and community involvement. Joe Pritchard, president and CEO of Pritchard Companies, which includes Pritchard Auto Group and Pritchard Commercial Sales, was selected as the winner of the Professional of the Year in this sector. His company serves the rental industry through fleet and commercial sales and service support with Ford, General Motors and Fiat Chrysler franchise vehicles. Starting as a detailer, Pritchard served in many positions within the

Joe Pritchard company including service, sales, controller, sales manager, general manager, dealer principal, and now president and CEO. To help improve satisfaction among customers and employees, Pritchard has an open-door policy and welcomes input from every employee and customer. He utilizes the advice and knowledge of others to grow his

business. For example, he institutes internal and external customer surveys annually to set goals, increase efficiencies, and resolve problems. Pritchard’s leadership is demonstrated by his actions. He won’t ask or expect anyone to do something that he can’t or doesn’t do himself. He treats every customer the same — from a mom-and-pop customer with a fleet of 15 to 20 vehicles to a Fortune 500 customer with a fleet of 30,000 vehicles. Pritchard is also recognized for his generosity and caring support toward his community. In honor of the company’s 100th anniversary, Pritchard donated $100,000 to local community charities where the seven dealerships are located. He is involved in every community where he operates a store and participates in many of his customer/business partners’ charities and communities. The company was recognized as Outstanding Philanthropists by the North Iowa Fundraising Professionals and by the North Central Iowa Leave a Legacy.

“I would like to thank Auto Rental News, my family, and our employees for the honor and privilege of the nomination and award of the Professional of the Year as your vendor,” said Pritchard. “Our company is proud to be serving the industry for over 100 years and five generations strong. Our philosophy is very simple — our internal customers (our employees) and our external customers are like family. We believe in developing strong relationships, both personally and professionally, that allow us to grow together and position your companies to be the most successful in your industry. I especially want to recognize Perry Ressler, our president of rental and livery, who is responsible for our growth and success in the rental industry.” Pritchard Family Auto Stores is a fifth generation, family-owned and operated business. Its dealerships represent all domestic vehicle manufacturers, with seven locations in: Britt, Belmond, Clarion, Mason City, Garner, and two locations in Forest City.

Births Buckner family welcomes baby girl Ben and Jen Buckner of Renwick are pleased to announce the birth of a daughter, Alayna Margaret Buckner, born on October 28. Alayna came into the world weighing 8 pounds 9 ounces. Alayna has three older siblings: Kaileigh, age 12; Brayden, age 10; and Harley, age 8.

‘Purple Pinkie’ project held at GHV to end polio worldwide On October 24, in recognition of World Polio Day, the Garner Rotary Club gave a presentation to Garner Hayfield Ventura students. The club asked parents to be part of the eradication of polio worldwide by sending donations with their child on that day. For every $1 donated, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated $2 to vaccinate six children. For students who donated $1 or more, rotary club members dyed their pinkies purple that day.

Polio is a disease that was eliminated from the United States 36 years ago. With the help of many volunteers and donations, Rotary has helped to eliminate polio in 122 countries. Only three countries remain. Polio has symptoms similar to the flu, although not everyone presents symptoms. The most severe symptom is paralysis, which can lead to death. The disease has no cure, but it is preventable with the polio vaccine.

Grandparents are Paul and Kim Kraft of Renwick and Scott and Linda Buckner of North English, Iowa. Great-grandparents are Jerry and Veronica Johnson of Kanawha, Carl and Lois Kraft of Corwith, and Norman and Lorraine Grimm of Millersburg, Iowa.

By Richard Jauron and Greg Wallace, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa – While farmers work in the fields to harvest their crops, home gardeners can do the same. With luck, there’s more than anyone can use in a week or two, which means storage is needed. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help answer questions about storing produce and maximizing its potential. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-2943108 or hortline@iastate.edu. How do I store winter squash? After harvesting, cure winter squash (except for the acorn types) at a temperature of 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity of 80 to 85 percent. Curing helps to harden the skin on winter squash and heal any cuts and scratches. Do not cure acorn squash. The high temperature and relative humidity during the curing process actually reduce the quality and storage life of acorn squash. After curing, store winter squash in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Storage temperatures should be 50 to 55 F. Do not store squash near apples, pears or other ripening fruit. Ripening fruit release ethylene gas, which shortens the storage life of squash. When properly cured and stored, the storage lives of acorn, butternut and hubbard squash are approximately five to eight weeks, two to three months and five to six months, respectively.

How do I store sweet potatoes? After harvest, cure sweet potatoes for one week at a temperature of 80 to 85 F and relative humidity of 90 to 95 percent. Curing promotes healing of minor cuts and bruises, prolonging the storage life of the sweet potatoes. Curing also improves the flavor of sweet potatoes, as starches are converted to sugars during the curing process. After curing, store sweet potatoes at a temperature of 55 to 60 F and relative humidity of 85 to 90 percent. Storage temperatures above 60 F may stimulate sprouting. Sweet potatoes may develop an off-flavor and the flesh may become discolored when stored at temperatures below 55 F. If properly cured and stored, sweet potatoes can be stored for four to six months. How do I store parsnips? Harvest parsnips in mid- to late November, as cool fall temperatures convert starch to sugar and give parsnips their distinctive flavor. After harvest, trim the foliage back to within 1 inch of the roots. Store parsnips at a temperature of 32 F and a relative humidity of 95 to 98 percent. Small quantities can be placed in perforated plastic bags and stored in a refrigerator. A basement storage room or root cellar are suitable storage sites for large quantities. How do I store salsify? Harvest salsify in mid- to late November, as cool fall temperatures enhance the oyster-like flavor of the roots. After harvest, trim off the foliage 1 inch above the roots and store the salsify at a temperature of 32 F and a relative humidity of 95 to 98 percent.

A variation of traditional Halloween “trick or treating” at Corwth was “trunk or treating.” Instead of going to door to door and ringing doorbells, youngsters traveled from trunk to trunk to receive their treats from costumed participants and decorated cars that were parked downtown on Sunday evening. The event was hosted by the Corwith Community Club.

By Andrew Buenger, Elderbridge Communications Specialist In a world of smartphones, blazing fast internet, self-driving cars and Amazon delivery drones, it’s very easy to be a little overwhelmed. In the face of all of this innovation, however, seniors are defying the stereotypes and breaking through as one of the fastest growing new technology users on the market. Recent studies have shown that some of the fastest growing groups joining Facebook are seniors. With all of these innovations, it can be hard to find the ones that are most useful to our day-to-day lives. Luckily a number of products are coming out that can give seniors more independence or even just more time to enjoy their retirement. A smart option for those who find themselves busy well after retirement is a programmable slow cooker. Users can simply fill the slow cooker with ingredients, set the time and temperature, then walk away while it cooks. Some even use phone apps to change time, temperature, and notify users when their meal is ready. Other options include sleep tracking beds that monitor body temperature, breathing, blood pressure and movement, all of which can help improve

sleep quality and help doctors find any potential sleep problems such as sleep apnea. In the 1950s, many believed that the automated home and the introduction of domestic robots would revolutionize the way we think about chores. While we still have many things we must do to keep homes clean, innovations such as the iRobot Roomba allow us to cross a few off the list. The Roomba is a small, robotic vacuum cleaner that can be programed to clean floors overnight or while you’re away from home. Sensors on the Roomba help to keep it from running into or over obstacles and, over time, it learns the layout of rooms to make cleaning faster. As technology advances, we can expect more innovations to come about to help us ease the burdens of our daily lives, especially as we age. While we may not live in the “World of Tomorrow” proposed by Disney and others, there is definitely no better time (technologically speaking) to be alive. For more information on a variety of aging related issues, contact Elderbridge Agency on Aging at www.elderbridge.org, or by calling 800-2430678.

Garner Catholic Daughters urge public to stand with them to eliminate sexual exploitation Members of the Garner Catholic Daughters are shown tying large white ribbons around the trees on the St. Boniface property. These white ribbons represent their support to rid our country of the hardcore pornography and sexual exploitation

problem so rampant in our country. Victories are being made. Overstock. com has stopped selling pornography. Hilton, Hyatt and other hotel chains have been convinced to get rid of pornography in all their hotels around the world by the end of this year.

These Catholic Daughters hope you will stand with them and help change policies that count. Go to EndSexualExpoitation.org and support with a donation to this very important cause.

St. Paul Lutheran Church, 810 State St., Garner, will hold its ninth annual ethnic bake sale on Saturday, November 12, and Saturday, December 3. The sale will be held in the basement fellowship area of the church from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. There will be a wide variety of ethnic baked goods for sale, with the main item being lefse. Last year, the “lefse ladies” made 1,470 rounds of lefse. In addition to lefse, there will be kringla, flat bread, kavring, kolaches, pizzelles, rosettes, Dutch letters, Belgian cookies, krumkake, stollen, various breads and much more. Orders will be taken in advance for lefse and kolaches by calling Darlene at 641-923-3010 or the church at 641-923-2261. Coffee, cookies, and samples of some of the baked goods will be available at the sale.

Yard and Garden—

Handling ornamental grasses for fall foliage and winter coverage By Richard Jauron and Greg Wallace, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa - Fall brings with it beautiful colors across the state. Most identify trees with those spectacular vistas, but ornamental grasses also can provide great color for landscapes. Which grasses are best for fall foliage and which are best equipped to deal with winter’s cold conditions? Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help answer questions about ornamental grasses and how to handle them during the winter. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu. Are there ornamental grasses with colorful fall foliage? Several ornamental grasses develop good fall color. Switchgrass (Panicum spp.) cultivars with colorful fall foliage include ‘Rehbraun’ (reddish brown), ‘Rotstrahlbusch’ (burgundy red), and ‘Prairie Fire’ (wine red). In fall, Miscanthus cultivars ‘Purpurascens’ and ‘November Sunset’ have orangered and golden orange foliage respectively. Little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) has yellow to burnt orange fall color. The fall color of little bluestem cultivar ‘Blaze’ is orange to reddish purple, while ‘Blue Heaven’ develops a burgundy red color in autumn. ‘Red October,’ a cultivar of big bluestem (Andropogon

gerardii), has burgundy red foliage in fall. The fall foliage of ‘Cordoba’

purple moor grass (Molinia caerulea ssp. arundinacea) is golden yellow.

‘Tara’ prairie dropseed (Sporobolus heterolepis) develops an orange-red fall color. When should I cut back my ornamental grasses? Many ornamental grasses provide color, sound and movement to the winter landscape. Because of these winter features, cut back ornamental grasses in April in Iowa. Cut back the grasses to within 2 to 4 inches of the ground with a hand shears, lopping shears or hedge trimmer. I planted fountain grass in the garden this spring. Will it survive the winter? There are several species of fountain grass. Perennial fountain grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides) is a perennial grass. It is hardy in much of Iowa. Annual fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum) is a widely grown annual grass. The most popular annual cultivars are those with reddish purple foliage, such as ‘Rubrum.’ Annual fountain grass will not survive the winter in Iowa. The central portions of several of my ornamental grasses are dead. Why? The centers of ornamental grasses often die as the plants get older. When this occurs, it’s a good time to dig and divide the grasses. When the grasses begin to grow in spring, dig up entire clumps, cut out and discard the dead center portions of each clump, cut the outer portions into sections and replant.

GHV falls in regional volleyball semifinal

Game four was close all the way but the Cardinals were unable to force a fifth game when Clarion pulled away at the end for a 25 – 20 win. The Cards went down swinging as evidenced by Hannah Lau’s 15 kills and Mackenzie Van Gerpen’s 13. Carlie Knutson and Jacki Van Oort added six and four kills to the offense while Lydia Seelhammer stepped in at setter to record 32 assists with seven digs. As a team GHV played outstanding defense with Knutson leading the way with 20 digs followed by Van Gerpen and Van Oort with 18 digs apiece, Lau with 10 digs and Fede Monteleone with six digs. Lau and Seelhammer were credited with three and two blocks respectively and Lau recorded an ace on 11 of 11 serves. “The girls finished their season playing competitive volleyball,” remarked Steffens. “While it’s always tough to end a season, the girls have much to be proud of this year. The girls continued to improve throughout the year and together they became a cohesive team.” GHV finished the season with an overall record of 18 – 10.

GHV’s Lydia Seelhammer sets the ball for the Cards during their 3-1 season ending loss to Clarion-Goldﬁeld. Seelhammer led the Cards with 32 assists, 7 digs and was 12 for 12 serving.

In volleyball, as with most sports, unless you win the state title your season is going to end with a loss. For the GHV volleyball team, the end of the season arrived last Tuesday with a loss in the Class 2A Regional Semifinal match. It was a hard fought loss for the Cardinals as Clarion-Goldfield needed four sets to win. GHV had high hopes heading into the match after playing their best volleyball of the season over the last two weeks. The Cards had previously been swept by Clarion twice this season but head coach Kelsey Steffens was confident her squad could pull off an upset against the Cowboys. Steffens knew it would be a challenge to beat Clarion and the task got even tougher when starting setter Bailee Frayne went down with a bad ankle injury on Monday. In spite of the setback, the Cardinals came out inspired and surprised the Cowboys with a 26 – 24 win in the first set. Clarion seemed to recover from the game one loss to outlast GHV 25 – 19 in the second set. The Cowboys appeared to be clicking in the third set and handled GHV 25 – 13.

Eagles take flight over Hudson West Hancock overcome penalty-ridden Class A football playoff

By Kristi Nixon BRITT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Big plays in the early going helped West Hancock despite momentum-killing penalties in the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 30-7 Class A opening win against Hudson at home on Friday, Oct. 28. Veteran coach Bob Sangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team took the opening kickoff and went 76 yards in seven plays that was capped by a 46-yard touchdown run by Jordan Weiland and the Eagles never trailed, taking an 8-0 lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had more team speed than they did and we got loose on the field and that caused them a few problems,â&#x20AC;? Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played hard, we just have to clean up the second half.â&#x20AC;? Even though Hudson (8-2) answered on its first possession, the Pirates opted to kick as West Hancock

retained the lead at 8-7 and then the Eagles went on to score on their next two possessions. The first was set up on a 37-yard gainer by Colton Francis as Weiland scored his second and final touchdown of the night from nine yards out. Francis then cut loose from 58 yards on the second play following a Hudson 3-and-out. Francis, who carried the ball 25 times for 210 yards, set up the next West Hancock touchdown with a 53yard gainer on first down to set the Eagles up first-and-goal from the nine. Two plays later, quarterback Dylan Eckels kept it for a one-yard touchdown with 5 minutes, 29 seconds left until half. Little did anyone know that was the last time either team was to reach

the end zone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Penalties just kept getting our kids down in the mouth and we were always second or third and long and it was frustrating for us,â&#x20AC;? Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to cut that out. We were able to move the ball, but not when you get third and 25 or first and 25 and all of that kind of stuff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our kids played with a lot of intensity that first half. The flags were certainly a concern of ours.â&#x20AC;? A grand total of 20 flags were thrown during the course of the game for 155 yards between both teams. One penalty was offsetting and two were declined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of that stuff, our kids play aggressive and they called us for everything you can think of,â&#x20AC;? Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I

guess you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say much about it.â&#x20AC;? The Eagles benefited from the return of junior defender Hunter Hagen, who led them with eight total tackles, including two and a half for losses and one and a half sacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just come back â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hurt and now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad to see heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100 percent,â&#x20AC;? Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good deal. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play the last game of the season. That makes a big difference for us because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty good football player.â&#x20AC;? Hagen said he was excited to return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really motivated, actually, because the Nashua game I wanted to be out there so badly,â&#x20AC;? Hagen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big game, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything but watch my teammates kick butt. It was fun to watch them.â&#x20AC;? One of Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top running backs

West Hancockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hunter Hagen brings down a Hudson ball carrier behind the line of scrimmage during the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 30-7 playoff win. They move on to play at Algona Garrigan on Friday, Nov. 4. Cameron Fulcher went out of the game in the Piratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first series after an 11yard gain and never returned. Fulcher, a 6-foot, 198-pound junior, had accumulated 368 yards this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw that,â&#x20AC;? Hagen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was kind of sorry about that, but it was a relief to not worry about a run gainer. It helped out our secondary a lot, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were prepared for anything. Shotgun, Power-I, because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem all that organized in the backfield. We kind of watched tape all week long in class at school. We studied them.â&#x20AC;? Sanger added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were aiming to throw the ball around and I think we defended that very well. I was very happy with our defense, I think that played very well. We were on the field a lot on defense in the second half.â&#x20AC;? The victory set up a Class A quarterfinal match-up for the Eagles (82) against Algona Garrigan (10-0). Hagen had very definitive thoughts about playing the Golden Bears after last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 26-8 loss for the district title on the line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Revenge, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all I want,â&#x20AC;? Hagen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They beat us in the district championship last year and we wanted them second round. Nothing will make me happier than beating them out of the playoffs.â&#x20AC;?

Cards place fifth at State Cross-Country Photos by John Jensen and Kristi Nixon, MAPC

GHV’s quest to defend their Class 2A State Cross-Country title fell a few points short on Saturday. The Cardinals have been perched on top of the Class 2A rankings virtually all season and appeared to be well on the way to bringing home another championship trophy, but they were denied that achievement by some very talented competitors representing several very strong teams.

GHV’s Reece Smith has been eyeing an individual state title all season and as the state’s top-ranked runner in Class 2A seemed prepared to reach that goal. Smith had to settle for the runner-up spot however as Ogden’s Andrew Stumbo pulled away from the pack to finish the race as the individual champion. Smith ran an impressive race, finishing the course 25 seconds ahead of the next runner with a time of 16:02.2.

Senior Logan Dalbeck completed his career with a top-ten finish after placing sixth overall in 16:39.4. Ray Cataldo was GHV’s third runner, placing 33rd overall in 17:49. Completing the Cardinal total were seniors Austin Siegrist and Mason Wirtz. Siegrist placed 38th overall in 17:56 while Wirtz placed 84th in 19:05.9. Also running for the Cards in the state meet were sophomore Nathan Larson (96th, 19:50.4) and senior

Derek Brown (104th, 20:36.0). Cardinal coach Jeff Short was no doubt a bit disappointed with the outcome of the race but still maintained a positive outlook on the day’s results. “I was very proud of the team this year, we had a great season. It did not finish like we would have liked, but it still was a great season. I tell the runners that a season is not determined in one race, nor is a runner’s legacy. I thought

it was great to have the number of students and fans at the State Meet supporting the program. Many of them were underclassmen who will be the needed to fill the holes left by this year’s departing seniors.” Team scores from the Class 2A State Cross-Country race follow.

Area student participates in Dordt College theatre production SIOUX CENTER, Iowa - Zachary Dirksen, of Woden, participated in the Dordt College theater production, “Much Ado About Nothing.” He played the role of Don Pedro and was a part of the costume shop crew. Dirksen is a freshman majoring in digital media production and theatre arts with emphases in acting and directing. “Much Ado About Nothing” is a Shakespearean classic that is driven solely on deception in order to break apart one romantic couple out of jealousy and bring together two stubborn people in marriage. However, along the way there is much miscommunication, confusion and lying that creates a twisted path to the inevitable conclu-

sion of confessions and a marriage. Dordt’s adaptation of “Much Ado About Nothing” brings in a new take on a classic comedy by setting it in 1950’s Hawaii while still using the original language of the show. Fifty-eight students worked on this show, which ran two weekends with six performances. The show opened October 13 and closed October 22. Dordt College’s active theatre program serves the community with two fully mounted main stage shows each year, as well as numerous smaller student-directed or classroom-based projects. Dordt College, in Sioux Center, Iowa, is a Christian college, home to more than 1,450 students.

By Adam Janke, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa – Chronic wasting disease is a neurological disease that affects white-tailed deer and other members of the deer family found in North America like elk and moose. The disease is caused by an abnormally shaped class of proteins which cause holes in the brain, degraded neurological function and ultimately death. While currently only found in a small pocket of Allamakee County in northeast Iowa among wild deer, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach encourages all hunters, landowners and farmers to stay vigilant throughout the state for signs of the disease to help monitor its distribution. “Chronic wasting disease is a challenge because it is persistent in the environment and fatal,” said Adam Janke, assistant professor and extension wildlife specialist at Iowa State University. “However, many states have been dealing with the disease for some time and we can beneﬁt from what they have learned about the disease and how it affects deer populations.” Janke has authored a publication discussing CWD and also created a video with additional information about the disease. The disease was discovered in Colorado in 1967 in captive mule deer and was not seen in the wild until 1981. In the last 35 years, it has slowly spread throughout the United States and Canada. While it has been present in states bordering Iowa since as early as 2001 in South Dakota, CWD was not found inside Iowa until 2012 when it was detected in captive herds in three counties. The disease was not detected among wild deer until 2013. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has tested more than 50,000 wild deer since 2002 with six

deer testing positive, all in Allamakee County in far northeastern Iowa. CWD is transmitted from sick to healthy deer through bodily ﬂuid exchange. Indirect transmission of the disease through contaminated soil also is possible.

when there is nose-to-nose contact, the disease appears to be spread that way. The other way is through contact with an environment that might be contaminated with the proteins that causes CWD. These proteins are shed in saliva, feces and urine. These animals can be affected by contacting these infected materials.” To help stop the spread of the disease, take the following steps: Report any deer that appears to be sick to local conservation ofﬁcers. Don’t concentrate deer around artiﬁcial food or mineral sources. Don’t harvest animals that appear sick. Minimize contact with portions of the deer with the highest CWD concentrations (brain, lymph nodes, spinal cord, spleen). Remove bones from meat and avoid sawing through bone or the spinal cord during processing. Safely dispose of carcasses where other deer will not contact them. Submit heads from deer harvested in or near CWD-positive areas for testing and discard meat from CWD-positive deer. For captive facility operators, ensure wild deer have no interactions with captive herds. “There is no proven solution for controlling or getting rid of this disease from free-ranging deer, elk or moose,” said Blanchong. “Some of the recommendations are to minimize practices that cause deer to congregate because we know direct contact can cause transmission. Things like feeding deer could potentially increase contact rates that could increase transmission. There are also concerns that the environment these animals might be attracted to then might become places where the disease builds up and animals might come along later and contact the disease.” Visit the ISU Extension and Outreach website for additional information about chronic wasting disease in Iowa.

Council discusses pros and cons of shared county communications Rebecca Peter

gleadernews@qwestoffice.net GARNER – What are the benefits of combining Hancock and Winnebago County emergency communications into one facility at Forest City? What are the drawbacks? Andy Buffington, emergency management director, and Hancock Sheriff Scott Dodd, answered questions and addressed concerns from the Garner City Council about the future of the Hancock County communications center and jail. Winnebago County is in the process of constructing a new Public Safety Center. Buffington is Emergency Management Director for Hancock and Winnebago Counties. The two counties have been investigating the possibility of combining communications services. He said three questions that are being explored are: 1. Does it make sense financially? 2. Can it be done without becoming too cumbersome? 3. Does it improve services? “So far, all the answers are saying yes,” Buffington said. “Obviously, a lot is at play. It’s not as simple as turning the lights off here.” Buffington explained that Hancock County dispatchers also serve as jailers after hours. “We believe that it’s not just about cost savings. We really believe we can offer a better product to the consumer [medical emergency, fire

department, law enforcement] at a price that is a little cheaper. Is it going to save millions of dollars a year? No, it is not.” Buffington estimated the move could save the combined EMS budgets of Hancock and Winnebago about $100,000. The boards of supervisors from Hancock and Winnebago will meet jointly on Nov. 15 at Forest City. “We’re going talk about what’s next,” he said. Councilman Dennis Drabek was concerned about the reach of radio communications across the county should dispatchers be moved to Forest City. Drabek is also a member of the Garner Fire Department. The communications tower and communications infrastructure in place at Garner will remain, Buffington responded. There will be fiber connection from Forest City to Garner. “What we do is a microwave link to provide back-up,” he said. “It’s going to be originating from a different center.” Cost savings would be realized in personnel. “We’re only going to be dropping one – possibly two people. We’re losing duplication of services.” So if we move everything up there, would we be paying Winnebago County for the service?” asked councilman Tim Schmidt. “That’s what has to be decided,” Buffington responded. “Because we’re providing services to political subdivisions…there has to be some

give and take.” “I think the biggest concern is anytime we send a service out of town, it becomes a service that Garner no longer has,” said Mayor Ken Mick. “That bothers me.” Buffington noted that Hancock County supervisors also have questions about what would happen if the county should want out the arrangement at some time in the future. “I just want everybody to go in with eyes wide open,” he said. Council members were invited to attend the Nov. 15 meeting. “Are we needing some upgrades for the city?” asked Garner City Clerk Daisy Huffman. “Assuming something would happen and take out the communications center, I struggle with the concept with having two counties down,” commented Dan Kadrlik. “You have 24,000 people at risk versus 15,000 or 11,000.” “We’re still going to retain the infrastructure in Hancock County,” replied Buffington. “Yeah, if we got hit by a tornado it would be a problem.” Sheriff Scott Dodd answered questions about the radio communications and the future of the jail. “We’re going to have a new statewide radio system that is going to be night and day different from what we have now,” Dodd stated. “This new system is going to be top notch and increase our communications.” He continued, “Our jails are inspected every year. The jail inspector has told me we should have full-

time staff there. Not just dispatchers. If the dispatchers get busy and something happens in the jail, we have a liability.” The new facility at Winnebago County will include a 40-bed jail. He didn’t anticipate a problem with surrounding counties accepting Hancock County inmates. The Hancock County jail won’t be closed, however. Dodd and the sheriff’s deputies are also certified jailers. “We’ll still maintain the jail,” he stated. “I can handle inmates that are brought in by the Garner Police Department, Britt or Kanawha. If they are held overnight or can’t get out on bail, then they will go to the Winnebago County Jail. Dodd said that if the present jail were to be closed, the jail a couple things would happen. Dodd continued. “If we close the jail and chose to open it again down the road, it would have to be brought up to new modern standards. That could be quite costly.” “With technology changing more and more, I don’t feel it’s going to hurt [the Sheriff’s Office] a lot. We’ll have a little more transportation cost, certainly,” he said. “We work together well. We’re going to make things a lot better. I know we can make this work,” he said. “We are in the business of protecting people and saving lives. If we have more people in our dispatch center to handle all the calls…we are going to provide a better service. I truly believe that.”

Council has second reading of ATV ordinance Rebecca Peter

gleadernews@qwestoffice.net GARNER – The second reading of a proposed ordinance to allow all terrain vehicles (ATV) and off-road utility vehicles on Garner city streets did not pass without comment at the Oct. 25 Garner City Council meeting. City Administrator Randy Lansing summarized a letter from Iowa DOT director Paul Trombino which stated that the Code of Iowa does not allow the Iowa DOT to issue a crossing permit for ATVs or UTVs where a

city street crosses a primary highway. Trombino said that the Iowa Code does allow the Iowa DOT to issue a crossing permit for an ATV “trail” crossing, however, city streets are not considered “trails.” During the public hearing, Gerald Edgar voiced opposition to the ordinance. He referred to safety warnings from several ATV manufacturers to not operate the vehicles on public streets. He also cited a study by the University of Iowa concerning ATVs

and fatalities. “They are for off-road use,” he said. There were also comments from several proponents of the ordinance at the meeting. “Those of us who are wanting the ordinance. We’re using it as a work vehicle,” said Joan Gouge. “We’re running from business to business. We’re not out running the streets. We’re respectful. It makes it sound that those of us who are running these machines are reckless. And we’re not reckless.” “We’re not out joyriding. I think there’s a big misconception that the streets of Garner are going to be running rampant with ATVs. Come on – let’s use a little common sense here.” “There is a certain part of the University of Iowa study that factual,’ commented Dan Kadrlik. “What they’ve forgotten to tell you is na-

tionally, 60 percent more of ATV use is on roadways than it was at the time. It’s the same argument you hear for cars. Eighty percent of motor vehicle accidents happen within 20 miles of home. Why is that? Because more than 80 percent of your driving is within 20 miles of home.” Kadrlik continued, “You can twist the facts and statistics anyway you want, but the reality is there are a number of people in this town who would like this ordinance. “We have said from the beginning, if it’s being abused, we absolutely want the laws enforced.” Attorney Jim Wetterling noted manufacturers put safety warning labels on everything because of the potential for a lawsuit. “We don’t want to live in a bubble,” he said. The council approved the second reading of the ATV. Councilpersons Lynn Smith, Marline Lewerke, George Smith and Tim Schmidt voted in favor. Councilman Dennis Drabek cast a dissenting vote. The third and final reading will be held Tuesday, Nov. 8. In other matters, the Garner City Council: •Approved Duane Hutchinson’s request for a storm sewer intake connection to connect his sump pump discharge to the back of the storm sewer intake at the southwest corner of Maben and East 11th Street. •Approved a change order for $2,640 with Concrete Foundation in connection to the Touchstone RISE Project for repairs to several field tile lines. •Approved a pay request for $118,842.80 to Concrete Foundation in connection to the Touchstone project.
