Buddy Bench: Girl Scout Brownie Troop 57 of Ida Grove donated a Buddy Bench to the Battle Creek-Ida Grove Elementary playground in Ida Grove. Troop 57 held a dedication assembly at the elementary school and explained to their fellow students how the bench works; they also made posters for the students to sign, pledging to be a buddy. The idea behind the Buddy Bench is that no child feels lonely on the playground. Rules of the Buddy Bench are as follows: if you choose to sit on the bench, you must say yes to the first friend who invites you to play; if you see a friend when you are sitting on the bench, invite them to play, and two friends sitting on the bench can invite each other to play together. The girls raised funds for their Buddy Bench by selling cookies, nuts, chocolates and receiving cash donations. They teamed up with Thrivent and had a community action team that taught them about helping in the community. Pictured with the new Buddy Bench are, from left to right, Kasey DeVine, Ella Boysen, Troop Leader Allyson Iversen, Lexi Robinson, Jenessa Kolar, Journey Iversen, Kylie Petersen, Allison Moore, Troop Leader Jenna Koontz, Tori Wallace and Ashlyn Frye.

Tom and Diane Gardalen of Holstein have been foster parents for 73 children since they became licensed in October 1992. Approximately 50 to 60 of those foster children, their husbands, wives and children will come to Holstein June 3-4 for a much-anticipated reunion. The couple currently has two boys and a girl in their home. When asked what led to the couple becoming foster parents, Diane said, “My husband often served as guard-
ian ad litem for children in need of assistance and one day went to visit a young boy at the Mental Health Institute. The boy was fascinated by his watch and all the features it had on it. Before leaving Tom took it off and gave it to him. The boy was so touched and overwhelmed that someone who didn’t know him would do that for him. “After Tom related some of his other experiences, coupled with doing some (continued on page 2)

. . . foster child reunion
(continued from front page) research and talking with other people who were foster parents, we realized how much of a need there was for more homes. We decided we would like to help some of these children by providing a home and a caring environment.� What is one of their most memorable experiences? “In October 1992, we received our license and waited, and inally in April 1993, they called and needed a home for four children under the age of four. We said ‘yes.’ Since that weekend, we hope we have made a difference in some of the children lives, as they have made in ours,� said Diane. “We have been lucky to
have very supportive people on our journey. My mother, who was a grandmother to every one of them, who gave them unconditional love and never judged. We have great family and DHS workers who have always been there for us. And, good friends, Dave and Judy Ehler, who also fostered children and are a huge support system to us and our children, along with the community members, teachers and staff. We couldn’t have done it without them. “There are so many children needing foster care. We would recommend it to anyone interested in opening their hearts and homes to give to a child in need.� What have been some of the
changes in nearly 25 years of caring for foster kids? “The DHS workers, over the years, have become more overloaded with bigger case loads resulting in less services for the children. Also, we have seen the children’s issues becoming more complicated due in a large part to more chaotic lifestyles of their parents.� Gardalen said, “This reunion has been a dream of ours for a long time. To be able to have many of the children who have graced our home over the years together again. Many of the children coming have never met each other, but they all share a common bond. They have called our house ‘home’ and they have been ‘loved.’�
Holstein council approves budget amendment The Holstein City Council approved the 2016-17budget amendment during a special meeting May 22. No one was present to speak for or against the budget amendment. City administrator Kay Hanson said, “The amended figures are not necessarily amounts that will be spent, but the potential is there that funds beyond the original budgeted amounts will need to be spent before the end of the fiscal year, June 30. The amended figures are as follows: revenues—$11,000 for taxi donation and $35,000 for hotel/motel tax. Expenditures are: taxi—$11,000 (repairs/replacement), countywide law—$8,150 (budget shortfall projection from county), library—$6,000
(due to library director retirement benefit pay out), debt service—$45,250 (unbudgeted bond payments), pool—$2,000 (potential expense overages), parks— $3,000 (park shelter damage claim), community center—$45,000 (increase in ball fees, facility repairs and equipment replacement), hotel/motel—$25,000 (higher than anticipated revenues – 50 percent to developer) and fire department—$5,000 (funds were to be budgeted for turnout gear). The council approved a special Class C liquor license to the City of Holstein. The city is hosting the Northwest Iowa League of Cities meeting on June 15. In order for the city to provide beer, wine and wine coolers for sale at
this event, the city must obtain the special permit. The city examiner RFP (request for proposals) was approved. The city had a three-year agreement with Hunzelman, Putzier and Co., to conduct the city’s annual examination. This agreement expired in 2016. If the city wishes to use a private CPA firm, in lieu of using the State Auditor’s Office, the city is required to use a written RFP process to engage a CPA firm to perform the required annual examination. RFP’s will request a three-year contract, for 2017-2019. The council voted to move its July meeting to Wednesday, July 5, at 5:30 p.m. Councilpersons Danny Gebers and Rod Regennitter were absent.

Morrow Memorial Scholarship, which is presented to four high school students and two post-high school students annually. Applicants were required to complete the designated online entry form and answer an essay question in no more than 500 words. This year’s question was: “According to the 2014 Assets and Opportunities Scorecard published by the Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED), more than 68 percent of Iowa students graduate from higher education with student loan debt and, of that, more than 13 percent are in default. How are you inancially preparing for the cost of higher education? How does your credit union play a role in your inancial well-being? Please answer both questions and share personal examples as able.” Struck was awarded $1,000 for her entry. “My credit union and its staff have been instrumental in my community and my personal experiences. I truly appreciate the way credit unions put their members above individual pro it. I look forward to supporting my credit union as a member in return for all it has done to support me ever since I was a Kirby Kid,” quoted from Struck’s essay. This year, ICUF awarded a total of $5,750 to its scholarship recipients, an illustration of its goal to help Iowans in their journey toward inancial independence. “The mission of the Iowa Credit Union Foundation (ICUF) is to help Iowans build wealth, responsibility and independence,” said Jaimie Miller, executive director, ICUF. “We do this through critical programs such as the Warren

Out of the Past Forty years ago Odebolt-Arthur’s Lou Arbegast placed fourth in the 220-yard hurdles and ifth in the 100-yard hurdles in the class A state track meet in Des Moines. Hartley Memorial Hospital in Battle Creek has suffered from steadily declining occupancy in the past few weeks. Administrator George Hemness says he hopes the decline is only temporary and may be due to the “summer slump” hitting the hospital early. The hospital had to close for a short time last fall, but a committee was able to raise $25,000 from donations, which allowed the hospital to reopen. Specials at John’s Super Valu in Ida Grove include six-pack cans of Dr. Pepper 99 cents; three 16 ounce cans of pears $1; bacon $1.09 per pound and 6.5 ounce cans of tuna 49 cents.

Holstein veterans: Area American Legion Posts are hosting services to commemorate Memorial Day next Monday, May 29. Here, Holstein veterans from the Spanish American War and the Civil War gathered at the Holstein Cemetery for Decoration Day sometime in the early 1900s. The exact date is unknown, but it is believed to be in the teen years prior to World War I. Decoration Day became what is now known as Memorial Day. Memorial Day was borne out of the Civil War and a desire to honor the dead. It was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868, by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.), in his General Order No. 11. “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land,� he proclaimed. The date of Decoration Day, as he called it, was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particular battle. From left are, Rev Pruitt, Spanish American War; Abe Fulton, Civil War; unidentified Civil War veteran; Teddy Bochman, Civil War; Phillip Brechwaldt, Spanish American War; Art Hass, Spanish American War and Bill Werner, Civil War. The Civil War Veterans are wearing their G.A.R. medals signifying they are veterans of the Union Army.
Letter to the Editor To the editor: To the citizens of the O-A/ BC-IG district, I would like to encourage everyone to vote yes on June 27 in support of reorganization. This is now the third vote, and probably the last. I know, for me, it will be the last one that I will vocally support. Third time’s a charm, right? After the last vote, I was angry and hurt. There was a lot of misinformation that spread like wild ire and, unfortunately, it worked to persuade some to vote no. Fear is a powerful, honest emotion. The unknown is
scary, and, honestly, we don’t know what lies ahead of us. That is clear with the budget reductions the boards were faced with this year. Small schools are closing all around the state; just ask Charter Oak–Ute. The only way I feel we can avert that possibility for the foreseeable future is through the irm commitment of reorganization. Is it an ideal situation? No. It isn’t. Ideally, we could all afford to have our own schools, like we did decades ago, but that isn’t realistic in this day and age. Over the course of the last 10 years, our communities
have become intertwined. We are the alphabet soup school. Most other school districts don’t decipher between the four towns. We are the OABCIG Falcons. So let’s make it of icial and be the OABCIG Falcons. My anger has subsided for the most part. Am I still a little hurt? De initely, but this vote isn’t personal. It’s business. We have to let go of our fear, of our misconceptions, of our anger and hurt, and vote for what’s best for all of our students. Please vote yes on June 27; I will. Kim Claussen Ida Grove

Balloon lift off: Residents at Odebolt Specialty Care held a balloon lift off May 15 as part of National Nursing Home Week activities.
May is National Foster Care Month May is National Foster Care Month. It’s a time to raise awareness for children in foster care and a time to celebrate the workers, families and advocates who make a difference in their lives. It’s also a time to consider stepping up to serve Iowa’s most vulnerable population: the thousands of children and youth in foster. Children enter the foster care system through no fault of their own. They have often experienced neglect, abandonment or abuse. The ultimate goal of foster care is reunification with the child’s
birth family. A foster family provides temporary care in a safe, supportive home until the child can return to their birth family or find a new permanent home through adoption. In Iowa, more than 2,500 children were referred to foster care in 2015. But there are only 2,300 licensed foster families in Iowa. “We have to work together to change that number,” said Kai McGee, recruitment and retention manager with Iowa KidsNet. “Every Iowa child deserves a safe and nurturing environment.”
Wishing this Teacher of
33 Years
a very happy Retirement!
DEADLINE FRIDAY 3 PM
Iowa KidsNet encourages all Iowa residents who can provide a stable home for a child to inquire, including single adults, married and unmarried couples, homeowners and renters. Foster families come from all sexual orientations and racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Iowa KidsNet is the single statewide contact for those interested in becoming foster or foster adoptive parents.

What’s in your shopping cart? When trying to shop for healthy foods, buying groceries can be an overwhelming experience; but it doesn’t have to be. Here are some simple, helpful tips that will help keep you on track. •Make a list: When you make a grocery list of healthy foods before going to the store, you’re less likely to ill your shopping cart with junk foods. Plan your menu ahead of time and make a list based on the meals you plan. Once you arrive at the supermarket, stick to your list. •Eat before you shop: You’re more likely to purchase unhealthy foods if you’re hungry when you get to the store. •Downsize your cart: When you’re pushing around a fullsize cart, it’s easy to fall into the trap of tossing in “just one more thing” - multiple times. Use a smaller cart or handheld basket, which only has room for the essentials. •Pick produce irst: Fill up on colorful fruits and vegetables. Although fresh is usually best, frozen or canned fruits and veggies are also good choices—just be sure to opt for the plain frozen veggies and not the ones in creamy sauces. •Hug the perimeter: In many grocery stores, the inner aisles are stocked with
sugary, fatty and high-calorie snacks and packaged goods. The outer areas of the store usually stock fresh produce, lean meats and low-fat dairy foods. The inside aisles offer some healthy options like olive oil, canned beans, canned tomato products, some whole grains and frozen fruit and vegetables, so when you do venture to the middle, be sure to grab only what you need. •Get on the whole-grain train: Whole-grains add texture and lavor while also delivering a boost of health bene its. Instead of re ined white breads and pastas, go for whole-grain breads and pastas and brown rice. •Shop alone whenever possible: You’re more likely to give in and purchase unhealthy foods if your children are begging for them or if you’re distracted by other people. •Read nutrition labels: Look for foods low in calories, saturated fat and sugar.

Best of show: Ridge View junior Naiila Flores won the best of show award for her journaling artwork titled “Late December-April 2017” at the Ridge View Fine Arts show May 9. The judge said of Flores’ piece, “This work demonstrated a great understanding of line, color and composition that creates visual interest. It is easy to see the growth of the artist as she juxtaposes the text, photo and drawing into the piece that is no longer just twodimensional, but rather, interactive.” Above, Flores holds her award while her winning piece is to the left in the image on a music stand. At the show, the high school visual arts, along with industrial technology classes, had many works on display.

Oldest diocesan altar boy notes anniversary The following story and photo are reprinted with permission of “The Catholic Globe.” By JOANNE FOX joannef@scdiocese.org Dr. Leo Samson (of Ida Grove) will note two anniversaries on June 2. The irst is his 97th birthday. The second claim to fame is starting his 91st year of serving as an altar boy. Samson and his wife, Margaret (Peg), became daily Mass-goers following his retirement in 1985. Peg died in 2013 at age 93, and her husband continued attending weekday Mass. Samson had approached former pastor Father Gerald Fisch in the early 1990s, when it was clear there was a scarcity of altar servers. “I asked if he would like some help on the altar,” Samson said. “He was just tickled to death, so I asked the next pastors, Father (David) Hemann and Father (Richard) Ball if they would like my help, and they said yes.” Samson recalled being invited to serve at the altar immediately following his irst Communion at Onawa St. John Church. “Father Louis Savage took two of us second graders and two third graders to one side and said, ‘I’m going to show you how to be altar servers,’” he said. Samson went on, “I remember I wasn’t very big or very tall and, in those days, you had to move the Epistle book and the Gospel book, and it was a chore to reach up to the lectern and move those heavy books.” Celebrating Mass in those days meant learning all the Latin, Samson noted. “Oh, yes, I recall it,” he said and without a moment’s hesitation continued, “In nomine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti. Fratres, agnoscamus

peccata nostra, ut apti simus ad sacra, mysteria celebranda…” Most likely, Samson would have kept going if this reporter hadn’t waved to stop. Samson continued as an altar server until he graduated high school in 1938. He attended Creighton University, graduating from dental school in 1945, and enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a dentist in World War II. Samson was stationed in California, where he met his wife, Margaret “Peg,” who was serving as a Navy nurse. Peg was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1946. She and Leo were married that same year in Pennsylvania. The couple made their home in California, until Samson’s 1947 discharge from the service and then lived in West Point, Neb., for several years before moving to Ida Grove in 1950. The dentist remained with the Navy reserve until 1969. The greatest joy Samson receives from serving at the altar is that of being “helpful” to the pastor. “I also get the satisfaction of experiencing Christ in that way at Mass,” he said. “It’s hard to explain the joy you
have doing this.” Sporting a bright red sweater and khaki pants at the First Friday Mass on May 5, Samson was entirely at ease in the sanctuary, be it preparing the altar or ringing the bells during the consecration. He even relaxes Father Ball, the pastor of Sacred Heart Parish, Our Lady of Good Counsel, Holstein, and St. Martin, Odebolt. “He brings a sense of joy that young people just do not,” the priest said. “We teach the young servers to be solemn and reverent and that’s what they are – to the point they seem too scared to be joyful.” Samson’s altar involvement doesn’t stop as a server. His resonant baritone voice boomed out the Alleluia. “I was in the choir for about 40 years, and I have lectored and cantored,” he said. What seemed to elude him was the priesthood, Samson mused. “Father Savage and Msgr. (Percy) Gearen tried to steer me in that direction, but I never had that call,” he said. “The stronger call was my high school coach, who told me I had good eye/hand coordination and I should be a dentist.”

SPORTS Falcon so ball team off to slow start O-A/BC-IG’s softball team posted a 1-3 record to open the season last week. Coach Cindy Wilcke noted the team is working through some injuries and growing pains with some of the younger members of team early in the season. “It’s been an interesting season so far,” noted Wilcke. “We have starters out with injuries and we have had starters out with illness so we have had freshmen stepping up to ill in those holes and moving kids around to play positions they don’t normally play. Overall, I have been very pleased with these kids’ efforts as they have come to the ield ready to battle and do their best. “We’ve had some trouble getting over committing errors. It seems like if we have one error we are going to have two or three in a row. That’s the youth showing through, as a team we need to learn to put the error behind us and move on. We will get there. Right now we are just concentrating on competing each night and with our pitching staff we have been able to do that.” Pocahontas 4, O-A/BC-IG 3 Pocahontas Area nipped O-A/BC-IG in eight innings in a season opening contest in Battle Creek May 22. After falling behind 3-1 after ive innings, the Falcons tied the game with a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. Pocahontas scored the game winner in the eighth. “Even though we didn’t come out on top in this game, I was very happy with how the girls played,” noted coach Cindy Wilcke. “Their effort was top notch. We had a few mental errors that ultimately cost us, but overall I was extremely pleased for our irst time out together as a team. We have some freshmen stepping up for us and they performed above expectations.” Wilcke added that pitchers Ellie Dotzler and Halle Hemer showed great maturity on the mound. “Their hard work over the off season was evident and is going to pay off in leaps and bounds for them and our team.” The pitchers combined numbers were three walks,
seven hits and eight strikeouts. “Summit Nielsen had a great night collecting three hits and defensively she had an outstanding play at shortstop, diving and laying out to snag a ball. It was pretty cool,” noted Wilcke. “Carrie Miller did a great job behind the plate as well. Jordyn Hedberg went two for four and as a team we collected seven hits.” O-A/BC-IG 4, MV-A-O 3 The Falcons scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs to knock off conference rival MVA-O May 23. Coach Wilcke noted the game was “Strike Out ALS” night (a fund raiser for the father of one of the players who has ALS) and the game results could not have been scripted any better for the Falcons if they had tried. The Falcons were trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the seventh with two outs when Ellie Dotzler hit a single. Sarah Petersen entered the game as Dotzler’s courtesy runner and stole second. Bree Henningsen then hit a deep single to score Petersen. Jordyn Hedberg came up to bat and hit a deep double scoring Henningsen. Carrie Miller steps up to the plate and smokes a line shot up the middle for the walk off hit scoring Hedberg. “Like I said, we couldn’t have wrote a better ending to this game,” noted Wilcke. “The girls played pretty well defensively, recording only one error. Our second inning was a little shaky mentally and that’s when MV-A-O scored their two runs. We were able to shut them out the rest of the game. Ellie Dotzler pitched a great game for us and went the distance on the mound.” Dotzler collected seven strikeouts and gave up just four hits. She did not walk anyone. Offensively, the Falcons collected nine hits. Bree Henningsen, Jordyn Hedberg and Carrie Miller collected two hits apiece with Hedberg hitting one double. Dotzler, Kirsten Dausel, and Kelsey Dausel each collected one hit apiece.
“We left eight runners on base so we need to do some tweaking in the line up to get those runners across the plate,” noted Wilcke. Storm Lake 6, O-A/BC-IG 2 Storm Lake took advantage of Falcon errors to claim a non-conference win in Battle Creek May 24. “We came out lat, but picked it up at the end of the game, however, we were not able to pull this one out,” noted coach Wilcke. “Mentally, we made way too many errors both on the base path and defensively. Some of this is caused by our youth in the in ield and not being quite sure of each other yet. More playing time will cause these mental errors to lessen. Offensively, we need to learn our limitations and adjust accordingly.” Freshman Halle Hemer, took the mound for O-A/BCIG pitching a complete game. She struck out a whopping 13 batters and gave up four base on balls. “She did a great job of keeping the batters off balance for the most part, it’s just that those darn walks came back to bite us,” said Wilcke. The coach added her club struggled on offense. “We were not patient and staying balanced when we hit. We were up on the front leg, which caused us to hit easily ielded ground balls. The girls need to transfer what they are being taught to actually doing that on the ield. Too often we slip back into our bad habits when put into a pressure situation.” Jordan Hedberg, Summit Nielsen, Carrie Miller, Kirsten Dausel, Halle Hemer, and Kelsey Dausel each collected one hit a piece for six hits total. Ridge View 5, O-A/BC-IG 2 Ridge View downed the Falcons in a conference game in Galva Thursday. The Raptors scored once in the third frame to grab the early lead. O-A/BC-IG came back in the top of the fourth to tie the game at 1-1. Ridge View tacked on two runs in the home half of the fourth to go up 3-1. They never trailed after taking the lead. O-A/BC-IG stats were not available at press time.

O-A/BC-IG baseball club collects first win at expense of Raptors The O-A/BC-IG baseball team dropped its irst two games of the season last week, but managed to get in the win column Thursday with a victory over rival Ridge View in Holstein. Pocahontas Area 5, O-A/BC-IG 1 The Falcons dropped the home season opener 5-1 to Pocahontas Area May 22. “This was a pretty evenly matched game, we just had a few misplays that led to some runs for them that made the difference. Defensively, we had four errors that lead to four unearned runs for Pocahontas,” said coach Dan Dotzler. Dotzler added Pocahontas offered a stiff challenge for his club to open the season. “I think they had 22 wins last year and returned almost everyone. This was a good test for our team early on and will make us better. Ours boys played hard and determined all game. I like how we played competitive ball all game, despite being down.” Both teams recorded four hits. Falcons with singles were Gabe Malcom, Grant Conover, Landon Ray and Brandon Schwade. Junior Tyler Anderson pitched the irst four innings and allowed four runs (one earned), striking out nine and walking three. Eighth grader Cooper DeJean took over in the ifth inning and inished the game, pitching three innings allowing one hit and one unearned run, striking out one and walking two. “Our pitching was solid,” noted Dotzler. “Our misplays were on more routine plays,

ones that the boys will make a high percentage of the time. We were in the game all the way. We were just a big hit away from making some noise. “All in all we did some very good things on the ield. We would like to win every time out, but the boys played hard and good things will happen in a long season when they do that.” MV-A-O 12, O-A/BC-IG 4 MV-A-O scored ive times in the top of the second to set the stage for its win over the Falcons in O-A/BC-IG’s conference opener May 23 in Ida Grove. The Falcons chipped away and it was a 7-3 game entering the seventh inning. The Rams would plate ive runs in the seventh to put the game out of reach. “We simply gave them too many free passes at the plate,” stated Dotzler. “We hit ive Ram batters and issued eight walks. When you give a team 13 free base runners you are playing up hill all game. “We made a game out of it and had opportunities to close in further, but in the end we just couldn’t get over the hump.” The Falcons outhit the Rams seven to six. Seven different batters had hits for the Falcons, with Ethan Mortensen (double) and Rhett Ketelsen (triple) garnering extra base hits. “All in all our plate appearances were better in this game,” said Dotzler. “We left quite a bit of traf ic on the bases and didn’t get that timely hit.” On the mound, Adam Grote
suffered the loss, pitching two innings allowing ive runs, only one hit, ive walks, one hit batter and striking out three. Ketelsen came in and pitched four and one third innings and did a good job of holding the Falcons in the game. Gabe Malcom also pitched and Will Grote inished the game getting the inal two outs. “The numerous Ram base runners caused us some issues and we didn’t execute fundamentally like we needed to in several areas,” said Dotzler. O-A/BC-IG 13, Ridge View 4 The Falcons picked up a conference road win Thursday in Holstein by a score of 13-4. “The team played a lot better baseball overall and had a higher level of energy,” noted Coach Dotzler. “We controlled this game from start to inish and did a good job on the base paths. The boys responded well after a couple early season losses.” Ethan Mortensen pitched six strong innings for the Falcons, allowing three hits, three runs (two earned), striking out nine and walking four. “Mortensen threw strikes early on and was very ef icient and his command was very good,” said Dotzler. Mortensen helped his own cause by going four for four at the plate with ive RBIs. He had three singles and a bases loaded clearing triple in the seventh. The Falcons tallied nine hits. Gabe Malcom had two hits and three RBIs for the Falcons. Grant Conover, Rhett Ketelsen and William Grote had the other hits.

Raptors go 0-2 to open season Ridge View’s baseball team came up empty in the win column in their first two games of the season last week. K-P 9, Ridge View 5 A five-run fifth inning provided Kingsley-Pierson with the punch it needed to subdue the Raptors in a conference game in Kingsley May 23. It was the season opener for Ridge View. Ridge View owned a 3-2 lead when K-P came to bat in the fifth frame. K-P’s five run fifth produced a lead the Panthers never relinquished. “Even though we lost, we saw a lot of good things to build on moving forward,” noted Ridge View coach
Shannon Tesch. Karlo Weldon had two of Ridge View’s five single hits. Jaxon Franken, Jake Mitchell and Jacob Tokheim each had one hit. Franken and Weldon both had one RBI. Franken and Cole Degen shared the pitching duties. Franken took the loss. K-P charted nine earned runs on eight hits, and six walks. Ridge View pitchers fanned nine K-P batters. O-A/BC-IG 13, Ridge View 4 O-A/BC-IG took a 9-0 lead into the bottom of the sixth inning before the Raptors were able to score in their 13-4 conference loss to the Falcons in Holstein Thursday.
Ridge View got the bats going late, scoring four runs in the last two innings, but as coach Shannon Tesch noted, “it wasn’t enough to overcome the Falcons.” Ridge View generated six single hits. Karlo Weldon had two of the hits. Picking up one hit each were Jaxon Franken, Jake Mitchell, Cole Degen and Tyler Wingert. Wingert had two RBI and Degen had one RBI. The Raptors used three pitchers in the game. The starter, Austin Degen, took the loss. The pitchers combined to allow seven earned runs. The Falcons had eight hits, drew four walks and struck out 10 times.
Raptor girls open with two WVC wins Ridge View’s softball team defeated Western Valley Conference foes Kingsley-Pierson and O-A/BC-IG to open the season last week. Ridge View 4, K-P 2 The Ridge View softball team got the season off to a good start by defeating Kingsley-Pierson 4-2 in Kingsley May 23. “It was a good way to open the season and get a win over a conference foe,” said coach Scott Phelps. “It was a well played game on both sides of the ball for both teams. The coaches were happy with the win and how our kids kept making adjustments as the game went along. “We were down 2-0 going into the sixth inning and scored two runs in both the sixth and seventh innings. We like the way the kids battled until the end.” Emerson Else who threw all
seven innings got the pitching win. She gave up two runs with one being earned. Else gave up two hits with four walks and ive strikeouts. “She threw a nice game and our defense made some nice plays behind her. It was a good team effort,” said Phelps. Leading the way at the plate for the Raptors was Kara Richard and Beth Pickhinke who both had two hits and a RBI. Also collecting RBI’s were Kinzey Dutler and Kennedy Mason. Ridge View 5, O-A/BC-IG 2 Ridge View continued to show signs of putting together a good season as they downed O-A/BC-IG on the Galva ield Thursday. Coach Scott Phelps noted the game was a hard fought win over a very good Falcon team. “The coaches were happy with the way the kids hit the ball. Our kids at the top
of the line-up were getting on and Beth Pickhinke and Kara Richard were driving them home with solid hits.” The Raptors pounded out 12 hits. Pickhinke went fourfor-four with two doubles and two RBIs and stole a base. Richard went two-forfour with a double and a RBI. She also stole a base. Kinzey Dutler went two-for-two and stole two bases. Gracie Chance went one-for -three and had two RBI and Emerson Else went two-for-three and scored a run. Emerson Else notched the pitching win with relief help from Katie Brinkman. Else threw four strong innings and gave up two runs, one was earned, on four hits while walking one and striking out one. Brinkman came in and gave up one hit while giving no runs and no walks and no strikeouts.

Design winner: Sue Knop asked Kate Beyke’s graphic design class at Odebolt-Arthur/Battle Creek-Ida Grove to develop a t-shirt design for the Trail of the Dragon 50K-50-mile ultra run to be held at Moorehead Park on Aug. 19. Students creating designs were, front from left: teacher Kate Beyke, Jennifer Godbersen, Teah Tollufsen, Sue Knop and Savanna Means. Back: Carter Arnburg, Bailey Newman, Caleb Nicholson, Austin Behrendsen, Samantha Landon and Luke Johnson. Teah holds her winning design.
Trail of the Dragon design selected Earlier this year, Sue Knop asked Kate Beyke’s O-A/BCIG graphic design class to create a t-shirt design for the “Trail of the Dragon” 50K/50mile run at Moorehead Park Aug. 19. Students had to go to Google Maps and use the run map somewhere in the design. They also were limited to three colors and needed to include the run information.
Knop said she decided to call the run the Trail of the Dragon because the Google Map looks like a dragon. The run is being held in conjunction with the Moorehead Park Trail Mazathon. Once the students created their t-shirt design, Knop put her top ive picks on different running sites and held a vote. The winner was Teah Tollufs-
en. Knop told the students they did a great job and that she had a dif icult time narrowing the designs down to ive. Other students participating in the design contest were Jennifer Godbersen, Savanna Means, Carter Arnburg, Bailey Newman, Caleb Nicholson Austin Behrendsen, Samantha Landon and Luke Johnson.

She grew up in Willow Springs and lost both parents at the tender age of 12. She relocated to Arthur, where she lived with her uncle, Bill, and aunt, Delia Wonnell. She attended school and graduated in 1949 from Arthur High School. On Oct. 1, 1949, Peggy married Donald H. Sievers in the Ames Methodist Church at Ames.

Her sweet disposition and friendly smile made her many dear friends along the way. She will be fondly remembered as “Grandma P,” by those who knew her well. She earned this enduring name from her grandson, Kyle, when he was young, and it just stuck with her throughout the years. Left to cherish her memory are her loving husband of 67 years, Don Sievers of Odebolt; a daughter, Kim, and husband, Kent, Schroeder of Odebolt; three grandsons: Kyle Schroeder of Odebolt, Keith and wife, Alli, Schroeder of Granger and Korey Schroeder of Omaha, Neb.

From left to right: Patty Lingren-Conard; Dr. Jose’-Marie Griffiths, DSU president; Dr. LTG Susan Lawrence; Courtney Van Ginkel; Julie Garoutte, and Kelli Whiteing, executive assistant to President Griffiths. Also attending were Travis, Avery and Hayden Van Ginkel.
IG na ve gives DSU commencement address Susan Lawrence of Alexandria, Va., was the commencement speaker at Dakota State University (DSU) in Madison, S.D. Lawrence is a retired lieutenant general, U.S. Army, having served the nation for 41 years. Lawrence spoke to a large crowd gathered for DSU’s graduation ceremony. She began by telling the graduates that she grew up in Ida Grove, a small town with no traf ic lights or convenience stores at that time. She enlisted at age 18 in the U.S. Army in 1972. She spoke to the graduates and encouraged the young men and women to do their best to change the world. After her basic training, Lawrence said she was assigned to a commanding of icer who challenged her to do more than what she thought she was capable of achieving. The challenges included parachute training, of icer’s school and enrolling
in college to earn a degree. Lawrence went on to earn a bachelor’s degree at Campbell University in North Carolina and later received a master’s degree in information systems management from the University of Georgia. She was commissioned in 1979. In her introduction of Lawrence, Dr. Jose’-Marie Grif iths, DSU president, told the graduation attendees that Lawrence had commanded personnel ranging in size from a platoon to the U.S. Army’s Signal Command and had supervised a communication network valued at 10 billion. Before retiring as a lieutenant general, Lawrence had served as the Army’s Chief Information Of icer and had reported directly to the Secretary of the Army. During the ceremony’s keynote address, Lawrence spoke about “achieving unimaginable goals” and remaining committed to helping people
change the world. She offered a list of personal characteristics that would help them. They include: collective ingenuity, passionate service, champion hearts, courage, learning from failure, ferocious integrity and speaking truth to power. Lawrence said, “Do what is right and hold yourself and others accountable. Find that mentor to help you succeed.” Before Lawrence’s commencement address, she was presented with an honorary doctorate of science degree from Dakota State University. She was honored for her 41 years of service in the U.S. Army and holding the values and commitments to her life’s work. Lawrence currently is a senior vice president of Booz Allen Hamilton. BAH is a consulting irm, which is involved in consulting data science, engineering and computer analytics.
