Battle Creek Library by Sheila Peterson BC librarian Where has the summer gone? The children are back in school and fall will be here soon. The four summer reading programs held at the library this summer in July were awesome and were very well attended. “Build a Better World” was the 2017 summer reading theme, and we appreciate everyone who presented programs. Kandice Tomlinson and Laura Johnk from the Ida County Extension Service presented a program on July 6. On July 13, the Blank Park Zoo visited the library and brought four small animals for our enjoyment. Deb and Steve Loger brought their three Sheltie comfort dogs to visit on July 19. The children were invited to the Battle Creek Fire Station on July 27 to learn about ire safety and also about the clothing iremen wear to a ire. They also had fun playing in the water, after the presentation by ire chief Deron Schmidt. First State Bank sponsored the program presented by the Des Moines Blank Park Zoo. North Star Community Credit Union and United Bank of Iowa furnished prizes. Willow Dale and B.C. Bakery and Café furnished treats for all of the programs. On eclipse day, Aug. 21, we had several people view the eclipse. It was a fantastic event. The Ida Grove Public Library shared the eclipse glasses they had received from the STAR Library Education Network, NASA @ My Library and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Thank you to an anonymous donor who furnished glasses the day of the eclipse. Have you joined us yet for coffee time at the library? Coffee time is held Monday through Friday at about 3:30 p.m. every day. There is great coffee (or hot or cold tea), good conversation and even some food, most every day. Everything is donated for coffee time. There are also other things that have come from having coffee time,

and I am going to mention just a few things in this news article. Donations were given by several coffeegoers to purchase a good, used lift chair for someone in the community. Donations were also collected so that we could give money to a person in need of some inancial help, because of health problems. Children’s and adult clothing are collected at various times during the year and given to charity. People also bring in fresh garden supplies for everyone to take and enjoy. As I said, I am mentioning just a few of the things that have come from having coffee time. Please join us. Everyone is welcome. Statistics for July and August were very similar. Ten new books for adults were purchased in July and 15 were purchased in August. Twelve books for children and adults were donated in July, and 15 were donated in August. The average daily number of patrons in the library during July and August totaled 20. Computer usage showed an increase during the month of August. We are appreciative of recent donations and memorials. These donations, gifts and memorials allow us to purchase items that we may not be able to purchase otherwise. As I have mentioned before, all of these are appreciated. Books, magazines and other items recently donated to the library were donated by Dee Boger, Gail Friend, G.T. German, Jeanette Holmes, Billy Jensen, Barbara Kadlec, Georgine Krayenhagen, Rhonda Lee, Joel Leenaars, Mark McGuire, Marian Modrell, Charlie Pierce, Traci Riessen, Jane Schrunk, Ruth Shubin, Valura Tarr, Mareta Vermeys, Corliss Hansen Wheeler and Beneta Witt. Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets for the fundraiser held in July. We would especially like to thank the anonymous donor who donated all of the prizes. Doug Schultz of Battle Creek was the irst place prizewinner of

the $100 cash. Winners of $50 gift cards to Tiefenthaler Quality Meats in Holstein were Susan Bean and Bill Kohnekamp, both of Battle Creek. Laura Loehr crocheted and donated a red, white and blue shawl to the library in July. Tickets were sold, and the winner of the shawl was Doug Loehr. Loehr is doing a wonderful thing and is donating the shawl to Willow Dale. A free drawing will be held on Veterans Day and one lucky lady at Willow Dale will be the winner. What a nice gesture, Doug. Automation will be coming to your Battle Creek Public Library in the near future. Automation is quite involved, but it will be wonderful when everything is in place. Library automation refers to the use of computers to automate the typical procedures of libraries, such as cataloging and circulation. A donation was recently given anonymously to the library to be used for automation. New books for children and young adults that were recently purchased with money from an anonymous donor are: “Happy Dreamer” by Peter H. Reynolds, “What Was the Underground Railroad?” by Yona Zeldis McDonough, “Auggie and Me” by R.J. Palacio, “Dog’s Best Friend” (middle school series) by James Patterson and Chris Tebbetts, “Because

Out of the Past Forty years ago State Fire Marshal Wilbur Johnson told the Ida County Board of Supervisors that he would allow the county more time to bring the irst and second loors of the courthouse up to code, but said his ultimatum still stands for the third loor or the county will have to stop using the third loor. The board of supervisors also came up with a compromise with a group that wants to preserve the courthouse. The agreement put forth calls for renovating the existing building and erecting an addition to meet space requirements. The Ida County Conservation Board voted unanimously against draining Crawford Creek lake for an archeological excavation. The board of supervisors also voted against draining the lake. Federal and state agencies had asked the lake be drained in order to excavate a buffalo kill site. If the lake were drained it would be for about two years and it is estimated that the lake wouldn’t have ish large enough to catch until 1982. Thirty years ago Bruce Snell Jr. of Ida Grove is one of three candidates nominated last week for an opening on the Iowa Supreme Court. The three names will go to Gov. Terry Branstad, who will make a decision within the next 30 days. Snell is a judge on the Iowa Court

of Appeals and was one of the original appointees to the court when it was created in 1976. The Ida Grove Hawk football team coached by Dallas Jensen defeated Maple Valley 10-0 Friday. The win was one of the Hawks biggest victories in several years as Maple Valley came into the game riding a 24 game winning streak in Maple Valley Conference play. The Holstein Fire Department kicked off its fund drive for a new ambulance with a $5,000 check from the ire department and a $1,000 check from the Galva Fire Department. The cost of the new ambulance is estimated at $50,000, including the addition of some new equipment. Stubbs Memorial Library will host an open house Sunday to dedicate the Christina Buettner room. Twenty years ago The Ida Grove Pleasant Valley Trail Committee discussed the possibility of a footbridge over the Maple River, which would connect the existing trail to Moorehead Park. The committee also discussed running a trail extension from the Moorehead Avenue bridge to Pizza Hut, then under the bridge on Highway 59/175 and then back to the northeast along the lood control berm that leads to the Maple Valley Villa Apartments. Galva-Holstein’s girls’ crosscountry team under the direction

of coach Tim Thomas won their home cross-country meet Saturday. Lacey Leinbaugh guided the team with a third place inish. Marguerite’s women’s dress shop in Ida Grove is offering 20 percent off fall fashions. Kevin Wulf bumped incumbent Patty Beyer off the GalvaHolstein School Board in an election held Sept. 9. It was the only area school board race. Ten years ago The Ida County Conservation Board learned that approximately 3,000 ish were killed at Moorehead Park lake in mid-August. The ish killed was caused by warm, cloudy, calm weather for an extended period of time that killed off vegetation, which robbed the lake of oxygen. The DNR will try to ind ish to restock the lake. The BC-IG School Board elected Tony Bennett as board president during it reorganization meeting. Kevin Wulf and Don Friedrichsen were reelected president and vice president, respectively of the Galva-Holstein School Board. The Galva-Holstein School Board approved a resolution supporting the application of the G-H Community Foundation to the CAT program for matching funds for the performing arts center and pledging to support the application in the amount of $600,000 over a ive-year period.

by Doug Clough The ties that bind us… I don’t know how our black and white barrel-chested dog killed the squirrel. All I know is that he – Andy – latly refused to relinquish it to Zazu, a yellow and white mix and, typically, the alpha dog. Apparently, Zazu tried to bully it away and ended up with a bloody eye for her efforts. I can’t say I blame Andy for defending what’s his; a squirrel is like that sweet girl from your high school days, easy to pursue and impossible to catch. It seems that all of my life’s dogs demonstrate this point. Take, for example, my irst canine companion, a black Labrador we called Alabba. Alabba is a ridiculous name for a dog and one that my three-year-old self squealed when seeing the black fur ball. Alabba was run over by a car shortly before prime squirrel irritation phase, but he did pick up a Chihuahua once and shake the livin’ snot right out of it, after it nipped at his nose. A Chihuahua is something of an irritant, so we’ll say it counts. After hearing of our family dog’s demise, we boys cried and our mother poured us a large glass of Pepsi and Twinkies, ushering in my irst eating disorder. Buck was our second family dog. My dad paid a fair sum

Wednesday, September 20, 2017

for him, reasoning that an American Kennel Club (AKC) black Labrador might be good for hunting. It was an odd decision for a man rumored to have only shot his sister’s piano. Squirrels that traversed along telephone pole wires in the backyard made Buck crazy with their squeaky screen door clucking. On one particular August day, we caught a red squirrel in our garden’s rabbit catcher. My oldest brother, Charlie, decided to let the squirrel go in our backyard while our dog was held by his collar, cocked back, a bullet in a chamber. Charlie lifted the cage gate and, somewhat faster than a lash, the imprisoned squirrel shot out of the rabbit cage, digging his claws into Buck’s nose and then scampered away. Abigail, a Labradoodle, was my fourth dog. Being introduced to the backyard, she was instantly feared by all critters. While she never caught a squirrel, she did greet us with dead mice and rabbits as love gifts. She slept with the head of a dead rabbit once; it was a ‘Godfather’ move and even I, who already had a lot of respect for her stalking prowess, gave her a wider berth simply out of admiration. Abby was also smart, knowing what side her bread was

buttered on. No matter how lazily she lay on the back deck, all it took was my wife to whisper squirrel and she’d shoot to the bowels of the backyard, striking fear in everything that moved. No matter how many dogs own a man, there is that one favorite dog, and Abigail was she. Memories of these previous canines wash away while our black and white crossbreed snarls, standing his ground. Three Labradors – two of which were pure bred – could not do what one stodgy, barrelbodied Corgi-wannabe accomplished. It would have been something to see, friends. He eclipsed the alpha dog’s speed and smarts to come away with the prize. Dog neighbors to the left and right swooned in admiration. Who amongst us doesn’t like being swooned after? If we deserve the swooning based on character and indurance, we should relish the moment... humbly, yes, but with extra relish, like on those Nathan’s Famous Premium dogs my mother fed her Clough boys. There now, go after your squirrel in your own backyard; don’t just stand there. Those squirrels are not going to catch themselves. Just ask Andy and all the dog neighbors he didn’t know were watching.

Letters to the Editor To the editor: There has been a flurry of fundraisers this past few months—some for individuals and others for organizations, like the Morningside Healthcare Community (MHC) Auxiliary. We truly appreciate the community support for our functions, including our annual upcoming sub sandwich sale on Sept. 29. However, we also need your help. If you would come to a monthly meeting or assist at any of our functions, it would mean the world to our residents and their families. We can always use an extra

pair of hands for monthly bingo, bus trips or your input at a meeting. The MHC Auxiliary strives to give the residents a better quality of life. This past year, we purchased TVs, beauty shop equipment, folding chairs for family members to have extra seating when they visit, games designed for care centers, a barbecue grill for patio parties, newspapers, magazines and garden supplies, to name just a few. In addition, we have funded trips to the Omaha zoo, Okoboji for a boat ride on the Queen II, spa days, diner’s club, bingo prizes and special

snacks, also clothing mending and repairs for residents who don’t have family members to do this for them. Membership is only $1 per year or $20 for lifetime. We usually meet April through October at 9:30 a.m. on the second Monday of the month. Bingo is the third Monday at 2 p.m. For more details on how you can contribute your time and talent to this worthwhile organization, contact Lisa Hinrickson or Chris Wunschel at Morningside Healthcare Community, 364-3327.

Greetings, moviegoers. This weekend is your last chance to see “Menashe” (PG). Set within the New York Hasidic community in Borough Park, Brooklyn, Menashe follows a kind but hapless grocery store clerk trying to maintain custody of his son Rieven after his wife, Lea, passes away. Since they live in a tradition-bound culture that requires a mother present in every home, Rieven is supposed to be adopted by the boy’s strict, married uncle, but Menashe’s Rabbi decides to grant him one week to spend with Rieven prior to Lea’s memorial. Their time together creates an emotional moment of father/son bonding as well as offers Menashe a inal chance to prove to his

skeptical community that he can be a capable parent. Shot in secret entirely within the Hasidic community depicted in the ilm, and one of the only movies to be performed in Yiddish in nearly 70 years, Menashe is a warm, life-af irming look at the universal bonds between father and son that also sheds unusual light on a notoriously private community. Based largely on the real life of its Hasidic star Menashe Lustig,

the ilm is a strikingly authentic and deeply moving portrait of family, love, connection and community. Coming soon: “Leap” (PG), “Beetlejuice” (1988), “Atomic Blonde” (R), “Friday The 13th” (1980), “Lego Ninjago Movie” (PG), “Young Frankenstein” (1974).

“Try the { ill-in-the-blank} diet.” Every day, it seems a new diet is ready to make weight loss faster and easier than ever before. Most fad diets take a few foods or drinks, give them magic power and show a plan to convince people that eating or drinking these items will promote weight loss. Fad diets might spur shortterm weight loss, but many are expensive, hard to follow and will not lead to lifelong wellness. We have all heard of the diets: Atkins, cabbage, grapefruit, HCG, Mediterranean, Paleo, raw food, Weight Watchers and Zone. From A to Z, the diets are out there, if you want to try them. Unfortunately, there is no magic pill for weight loss and no magic shake to drop 20 pounds overnight. There are no magic fairies that are going to show up and force you to eat better. A healthy diet means eating less, making smarter food choices, drinking water, getting off the couch and moving your feet long enough to break into a sweat. Fad diets that sound too good to be true, are just that. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars a month on the latest craze, why not just get rid of all the junk foods in your cupboards? Why not go for a brisk walk each day after school or work? Why not drink water instead of those four or ive sodas a day? Here are a couple simple tips to lose weight and keep those pounds off: •Don’t skip meals. Eat three small meals and three nutritious snacks a day. •Stop saying, “I will never eat cake, candy, cookies or pie again.” It is about moderation. Having a piece of birthday cake or Thanksgiving pumpkin

pie are special occasions. Save treats for special days. •Cut soda, as it contains zero nutrition and is full of empty calories. •Read food labels and watch portion sizes to lower your carbohydrates. Focus on lean protein, low-fat dairy and good carbs, such as whole grains, vegetables and fruit. •Avoid processed boxed foods, which are high in fat and sodium. •Add green iber foods to your diet, like beans, broccoli, kale, peas, peppers and spinach. •Try something new for breakfast. Instead of sugary cereals, try two boiled or scrambled eggs, oatmeal or peanut butter on whole wheat toast to get more protein into your diet. •Sit down and eat, instead of eating on the run all the time, and avoid the drive-through trap. •Drink a full glass of cold water before each meal to increase water intake and feel fuller, so you eat less. •Show your kids how much fun it is to cook meals together at home. •Put down the fork faster. Eating slower helps you ingest fewer calories and avoid acid re lux. •Make exercise a priority. Each of us gets the same 24 hours a day. Take 30 minutes and do something for your heart.

Flu shot vaccinations available at local Shopko pharmacies As lu season quickly approaches, Shopko is now offering annual lu vaccinations at local Shopko pharmacies. This vaccination, which targets the most common in luenza viruses this season, is the best defense against the lu. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is important to get immunized as early in the lu season as possible. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against in luenza virus infection. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to get vaccinated early in the fall, before the lu season gets underway. Flu seasons vary in severity

based on various factors, such as timing of the season, number of vaccinations, and the characteristics of circulating viruses. Flu season in the United States usually occurs in the fall and winter, with the peak season being anywhere from late November through March. Common symptoms include fever, chills,

SPORTS Ridge View, H-M-S battle in district contest

Photo by: Mike Thornhill | Ida County Courier

Stretch: O-A/BC-IG’s Chase Devitt stretches out to reach the end zone against Tri-Center Friday. Devitt’s score came on the first possession of the game and was the first in six consecutive touchdowns the Falcons scored in a 39-14 district victory.

Falcons score on first six possessions in 39-14 victory O-A/BC-IG scored on its irst six possessions in defeating Tri-Center of Neola 39-14 in district football play in Ida Grove Friday. The Falcons had a 39-0 lead at halftime. Coach Larry Allen said going into the game the coaches talked with the players about the importance of getting the game off to a good start. “In the irst couple weeks of the season we did get off to good starts, but in the loss to I-K-M-Manning in week three we didn’t have that enthusiasm and energy that we had the irst couple of games,” noted Allen. “Last week we emphasized that (playing with emotion and enthusiasm) and the kids responded really well. “Things go so much better when you play with excitement. It gets everybody involved—the players, the sideline and the crowd; it really adds a lot to the game.” The Falcons set the tone for the game early on as they took the opening kickoff and marched 78 yards for their irst score. The drive, which burned six minutes and 21 seconds off the clock ended when Chase Devitt, who rushed for 176 yards on 21 carries in about two and half quarters of work, broke through the Tri-Center defense for a 13-yard scoring run. The PAT kick was no good. Tri-Center fumbled the ball at its own 24-yard line on its irst possession of the game. O-A/BC-IG’s Isaac Endrulat recovered the ball to set the Falcons up for their next score, which came on Devitt’s 19-yard carry with 3:09 to play in the irst quarter. The try for two points was no good. On the ensuing kickoff, the Falcons’ Cooper DeJean recovered the football at TriCenter’s 34 yard line. Coach Allen said the kickoff was not an attempt at an onside kick, the ball just didn’t travel very far. With just seconds to play in the irst quarter, Devitt found the end zone again on a 10yard run, but the score was waived off on a holding call on the Falcons. On the very next play, quarterback Kaden Ladwig connected with Endrulat for a 20-yard scoring pass. Ryan Bumann caught the two-point conversion

pass from Ladwig to close out the irst quarter with O-A/ BC-IG in charge 20-0. O-A/BC-IG put the game out of reach with three long scoring plays in the second quarter including two long scoring runs on consecutive offensive snaps. Carson Godbersen broke free for a 50-yard touchdown run with 9:01 to play in the second quarter. William Grote’s PAT kick made the score 27-0. After a three and out by TriCenter, the Falcons notched a 63-yard run by Devitt on the team’s irst offensive play following Godbersen’s score. The try for the PAT kick was no good. The score gave O-A/ BC-IG a 33-0 advantage. Allen noted the back-toback long scoring runs were the result of every player doing his job. “Upfront we’ve got pretty good size and when we give our running backs a crease to run through the backs do a nice job of getting yards after contact. We were also able to make some nice blocks down ield on a lot of our long runs. Give credit to those guys for doing the unsung work out on the perimeter. It takes all 11 guys on the ield to make every play work,” said Allen. The Falcons’ inal score of the game came on a 41-yard pass from Ladwig to Endrulat at the 3:31 mark of the second quarter. The PAT kick was no good. Neither team scored in the third quarter. O-A/BCIG played its varsity starters early in the quarter, but began to substitute more as the quarter went on. Tri-Center was able to score twice in the fourth quarter against O-A/BC-IG’s JV unit. The scores came on a two yard run at the 11:31 mark of the fourth and on a 44-yard pass with 52 seconds left in the game. O-A/BC-IG rushed for 280 yards on 47 carries while limiting Tri-Center to 86 yards on the ground on 39 tries. “We knew we had to stop their run and force them to throw the ball and we did that,” noted coach Allen. “TriCenter had one nice slant play across the middle, but Jake Nieman was there to stop it. “All in all, we didn’t let their ground game get going. Our kids upfront were really

dominating. Tri-Center never had a lot of opportunities to get up a head of steam, which was really important.” O-A/BC-IG’s record improved to 3-1 overall and to 1-1 in district play. This Friday, the Falcons will play at Logan-Magnolia (2-2/1-1). Lo-Ma lost to I-K-M-Manning Friday 36-32. Allen said he is expecting a hard fought district contest with Lo-Ma. “Lo-Ma is one of four or ive teams in our district that on any given night can be a top dog,” said Allen. “We’ve got to make sure we start well. Lo-Ma is the type of team that can get on you and keep pounding you. They aren’t real big, but their style of play is to get after you and we will have to be able to answer that from the get-go.” Stats OABCIG TC First downs 9 7 Rushes/yds 47-280 39-86 Pass yds. 79 73 Pass/Att/Int 3-7-1 4-9-0 Total yards 359 159 Fum. lost 0 3 Penalties 4-35 6-45 Punts/ave. 0-0 4-22.7 Scoring by quarters OABCIG 20 19 0 0 —39 TC 0 0 0 14 —14 O-A/BC-IG individual stats Rushing: Devitt (21-176 yds., 3 TDs), Godbersen (7-60 yds., 1 TD), Sholty (5-18 yds.), Ladwig (6-11 yds.), Bumann (2-10 yds.), DeJean (4-7 yds.)

Ridge View subdued Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn 26-22 in a key district football game in Hartley Friday that featured six lead changes and one tie. Raptor coach Dale Tokheim attributed the win to his team’s size and solid play on defense. “H-M-S had some quickness and depth advantages on us, but I thought our size and strength helped us in the fourth quarter,” said Tokheim. “We had two drives in the fourth quarter that took up a lot of the clock. “I thought our defense had a great game. They caused a fumble to give us a short ield in the third quarter, with Jake Mitchell causing the fumble and Lance Else recovering. “Jake Kliegl, Mitchell and Dylan Wood had nice games at linebacker, but our defensive line did a great job, especially in the second half. Jake Tokheim’s punts really helped our ield position to help our defense out all night.” Initially, it looked like offense might rule the game as both teams scored on long running plays in the irst quarter. Ridge View got things started with a three play drive that covered 63 yards. Mitchell had the big play with a 49-yard scoring run. The run for two points failed. H-M-S answered the Raptor quick strike with a 66yard run on its irst play from scrimmage after Ridge View’s score. Ridge View blocked the PAT kick. “After the irst possessions both defenses settled in. Our defensive line of Miller, Kai, Brockman and Cuthrell had a great game, especially in the second half,” said coach Tokheim. In the second quarter, Ridge View went up 12-6 on a 20yard run by quarterback Jake Tokheim, which capped a 14-

play, 55-yard drive. The run for two points was no good. H-M-S put together a scoring drive that ended on a oneyard run and two-point run to give the Hawks a 14-12 edge. Coach Tokheim noted his club helped H-M-S keep its drive alive by recording a personal foul on fourth down. “That penalty to keep their drive alive after we stopped them on fourth down hurt us; we need to be smarter than that.” H-M-S took a 14-12 lead into the halftime break. Jake Tokheim connected with Jaxon Franken on a 21yard scoring pass in the third quarter. Tokheim’s two point carry gave the lead, 20-14, back to Ridge View. The one play scoring effort came after Ridge View’s Mitchell forced an H-M-S fumble. Lance Else picked up the loose ball. H-M-S bounced back once again to grab the lead at 2220 on a one yard run and two point conversion with 1:35 to play in the third quarter. The fourth quarter belonged to Ridge View as the Raptors put together a couple of time consuming drives. The irst drive ended at the H-M-S twoyard line on downs. “We had fourth down and short at their two yard line and were going to try and draw them off sides and call a timeout, but our center snapped the ball. Luckily, our defense forced a three and out to set up our last drive,” said Tokheim. After a three and out by H-M-S, Ridge View got the ball back with around four minutes to play and scored on Kliegl’s one yard run with 1:45 to go in the game to give the Raptors’ their inal margin of victory at 26-22. The two point run failed. Overall, coach Tokheim said he was happy with his team’s attitude and effort, but the

team still has room for improvement. “We had some big mistakes at inopportune times, but we didn’t panic; we stayed together and overcame those mistakes together,” noted Tokheim. “Offensively, I need to do a better job of mixing in pass plays and counters. Mitchell and Kliegl did a nice job running the ball getting some tough yards. Our offensive line looked good at times and struggled at times, especially on the back side. We will watch ilm and learn from our mistakes and try to improve. “We did have a couple of dropped passes and a few too many fumbles (four). We recovered all of our fumbles, but they killed drives.” Ridge View improved its overall record to 3-1 and to 2-0 in the district. The Raptors will host Fort Dodge St. Edmonds (2-2/2-0) in Ridge View’s homecoming contest in Holstein this Friday.

New law allows approved pistol cartridges for use in rifles to hunt deer Iowa hunters will have a new option this fall while hunting deer during the youth season, disabled hunter season and both shotgun seasons – rifles that are capable of shooting straight walled cartridges. The new straight wall cartridge law was passed without dissent by the Iowa Legislature, and then signed by then Governor Terry Branstad on April 13. It was enacted to allow for a

lower recoil option for older and younger hunters, but is available to all hunters in those four seasons. The law allows for straight wall ammunition that was previously approved for pistol hunting to be used in rifles. The list of acceptable calibers is in the Iowa Hunting and Trapping Regulations (p. 31, www.iowadnr. gov/hunting) along with criteria for similar sized ammunition not on the list.

Fall is a great time to catch fish

Attack: O-A/BC-IG’s Jatelyn Jessen (14) leaps to attack the ball in a match against River Valley Sept. 12. The Falcons won the match 3-0.

Fall is a great time to be outdoors with family and friends. The air is cool, the views are picturesque, lakes are less crowded and the fish are easy to catch. “Fall fishing is one of Iowa’s best kept secrets,” said Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Fisheries Bureau. “Fantastic fishing opportunities await both new and expert anglers. Get out and enjoy them.” Cooler temperatures and shorter daylight times trigger fish to actively search for food to build energy reserves to survive the long winter. These predictable movements make them easier to find. “Yellow perch, muskies, crappies, walleyes, largemouth and smallmouth bass go on a feeding frenzy before winter,” explained Larscheid. The fall bite in lakes and ponds shifts to the main part of the day. Fish are more active during the day and will be close to shore. Target areas of a lake where the water is warmer, mostly in shallow water bays along the north shore. “Use live bait, particularly minnows, small tackle and fish slowly when fishing in cooler water,” Larscheid said. Look for panfish schools in open water near structure like a brush pile, underwater hump, drop-offs and rock reefs. Largemouth bass will be close to some type of structure during the fall like underwater brush piles, old roadbeds, rock reeks or weed lines. Quickly find fish structure locations with the online fishing atlas or

download structure location maps from the DNR’s Where to Fish website. Fish in streams start to move to their wintering areas in October. Stream flow is often lower in the fall; allowing better angler access. Channel catfish will move downstream from smaller streams to the deepest holes they can find in larger streams. Walleyes will move to the next deepest holes and pike to the next deepest. Find tips for catching yellow perch, crappie, walleye, bass and catfish on the DNR website at www.iowadnr.gov/fishing. Check the weekly fishing report to find out what is biting where.

Depending upon the caliber, some straight wall cartridges will be effective up to 100 yards, but most will be effective to around 50 yards. The new law requires individuals caught with a rifle capable of shooting ammunition not on the approved list while hunting deer to have their hunting privileges suspended for two years and receive a $250 fine.

Ridge View’s volleyball team earned three conference wins last week to keep the team’s league mark unblemished at 5-0. The Raptors improved to 9-5 overall. Ridge View beat River Valley (25-15, 25-11, 19-25, 25-9) and O-A/BC-IG (2519, 15-25, 25-23, 25-16) in a triangular in Schaller Sept. 12 and topped MV-A-O 3-0 (game scores were not available) Sept. 14 in Schaller. No other information was available from coach Monica Bloyer at press time.

Kuemper meet canceled The Carroll Kuemper CrossCountry Invitational slated for Saturday, Sept. 16, was cancelled due to wet conditions. O-A/BC-IG was scheduled to participate in the meet.

F OOTBALL

Pheasant hunters should expect a repeat of 2016 It happens about as often as a total eclipse, but results from the Iowa roadside pheasant survey, conducted during the irst two weeks of August, are not lining up with what is being reported from the ield and by landowners from around the state. “Survey results indicate a statewide average pheasant population decline of 30 percent and quail population decline of 23 percent, but pheasant brood sightings are up statewide and quail are being reported everywhere in the quail range,” said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources who coordinates the survey. So what happened? The lack of dew in Iowa’s ditches and ields during the survey timeframe is likely a major factor skewing this year’s survey results, he said. “Most of Iowa was listed as somewhere between being abnormally dry, in a drought or in a severe drought, during the survey. We need heavy dew when we do our surveys because it’s the dew that causes the hen to move her brood from the protective cover to the gravel road to dry off before they begin feeding,” said Bogenschutz. “We coordinate our routes with that dryoff period. Without the dew, there is no reason for her to expose her chicks.” He said major factors in luencing annual changes in pheasant numbers are over winter hen survival, brood survival and nest success. In years when snowfall is less than 30 inches, pheasant survival is good. Warm, dry springs increase nesting success. A mix of the two will nudge the counts one way or the other. Most of Iowa had a belowaverage winter and a wetterthan-normal spring. Based on those weather indicators, Iowa should have a stable to a slight decrease in the pheas-

ant population. “During the past 54 years, we’ve had three years with weather similar to this year, the most recent in 2015, and in two of those years our pheasant population was status quo and one year it increased. This year’s results do not agree with these past years with similar weather,” he said. “In a nutshell, drought conditions probably lead to a poor survey count in 2017,” he said. Bogenschutz said he expects almost a repeat of 2016 pheasant season, where hunters harvested about 250,000 roosters. He said the drought is also likely responsible for fewer quail counted. “I’ve been hearing from landowners and ield staff who reported numerous males calling this spring, which indicates good winter survival. If a person has ever thought about hunting quail, they should head to southern Iowa this fall. This could be the best quail hunting we’ve had in nearly 30 years,” Bogenschutz said. The complete August roadside survey can be found at www.iowadnr.gov/pheasantsurvey. Habitat trends Iowa is experiencing a gradual change in its upland habitat. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, between 1990 and 2016, Iowa lost nearly 3,000 square miles of small grains, hay land and land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) – all potential pheasant habitat. “That’s equivalent to a strip of habitat 10 miles wide stretching from Omaha to Davenport. With the loss of small grains and hay lands to corn and soybean production, CRP is critical for Iowa pheasants,” said Bogenschutz. CRP is a federal farm program. Congress is scheduled to begin discussion on the 2018 Farm Bill this fall.

Local ishing report The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issues a fishing report compiled from information gathered from local bait shops, angler creel surveys and county and state parks staff. Surface water temperature in area lakes is around 73 degrees. Panfishing has been fair to good in most lakes. The channel catfish bite in rivers and lakes is fair. Expect walleye fishing to pick up as water temperatures cool. For more information, contact the Black Hawk District office at 712657-2638 or go online at iowadnr.com. Black Hawk Lake —Water levels are near the crest of the spillway. Bluegill - Fair: Pick up bluegill just about anywhere along the shoreline in two to five-feet of water. Use a small jig tipped with live bait or a small piece of crawler fished below a bobber off the floating fishing pier, the west stone pier, and the inlet bridge. Black crappie - Fair: Use a jig with a minnow in two to six-feet of water along Ice House Point, the floating dock and the stone piers in Town Bay. Walleye - Fair: Use live bait fished along the Ice House Point shoreline and the rock piles near Cottonwood Point and in the east basin. Expect walleye fishing to pick up near shore in the next couple of weeks as water temperatures cool. Channel catfish - Fair: Use nightcrawlers and cut bait

fished on the bottom near the floating dock, Ice House Point and the rock piles near Cottonwood Point and the east basin. Largemouth bass Good: Catch largemouth bass just about anywhere along the shoreline with topwater lures, twisters or live bait. Storm Lake (including Little Storm Lake) —Surface water temperatures are around 73 degrees. Dredge is in operation in the northeast portion of the lake; boaters must maintain a 100-foot distance from the dredge, booster pump and dredge pipes at all times. Storm Lake has a daily limit of three walleye and all 17 to 22-inch walleye must be released; no more than one walleye longer than 22 inches may be taken per day. Walleye - Fair: Troll shad raps or drift crawlers on the edges of the dredge cuts around the lake. Look for walleye activity to pick up as water temperatures begin to cool over the next few weeks. White bass - Fair: Use crankbaits; most action has been from boat while fishing dredge cuts. Yellow Smoke Park Lake —Bluegill - Fair: Bluegills can reach nine inches or more. Look for bluegills in five to 10-feet of water near the arm north of the swim beach, the flooded timber near the southwest shoreline and the coves on the south shore.

The fruits of our failure (Deacon Derick Cranston, formerly of Odebolt, is pastoral associate for St. Mary Parish in Riverside, Holy Trinity Parish in Richmond and St. Joseph Parish in Wellman. He can be reached at derickcranston@gmail.com.) This article is reprinted with permission of The Catholic Messenger, newspaper of the Diocese of Davenport. Failure. It is a bitter fruit we have all tasted. It started with an apple plucked by Adam and Eve and continued with the cyclic failure of the early Israelite’s in their covenant with Yahweh. It was witnessed by the Apostles in the despair of the cruci ixion and the perceived failure of Christ. A divorced woman re lecting on her failed marriage refers to it as “soul pain.” It is an emotional and spiritual hurt that consumes and overwhelms the spirit. It starts with the sting of rejection that metastasizes and infects the whole outlook of the person. Failure,

rejection and pain: the un-holy trinity that leads to despair and despondency. In a re lection on failure Jesuit author Walter Burghardt writes, “Just because I am trying to do God’s work with every ounce of my being, is no guarantee that my plans will prosper. Just because you love God deeply doesn’t mean you will not fail, not lose your job, your home, your family or your health…but God writes straight with crooked lines. What the world calls foolish, God uses to shame the wise; what the world calls weak, God uses to shame the strong.” And therein lies the key. God uses the weakness found in failure, to humble the strong; the foolishness we experience in defeat, to expose the arrogance of the wise. It is the message found in the Beatitudes, when we discover that blessed are the poor, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs, and blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be

comforted. Ours is a religion of hope; hope that every tear shall be wiped away and that every wrong shall be made right. We are children of the resurrection who look forward to the coming of God’s Heavenly Kingdom. There is a light, which lies underneath the misery of our failure and rejection. This is the light that Jesus saw in the sick and the lame. It is why he shared meals with sinners and tax collectors and forgave the women caught in adultery. The light drives out the darkness and the darkness shall not overcome the light. The un-holy trinity of failure, rejection and pain is transformed into faith, hope and love. The darkness of night is at its blackest just before the irst rays of light penetrate the horizon. It is the dawn of a new day. The tomb is empty and Christ has risen from the dead. The Resurrection is at hand and the Kingdom of God is near…let us rejoice and be glad.

Faith Lutheran Church in downtown Holstein invites everyone to come to the free garage sale on Saturday, Sept. 30, from 8 a.m. to noon, where everything is free. Clothing for children and adults of all sizes – including winter clothing, such as coats, hats and boots – plus toys and household items, will be featured. A free garage sale is just like any other garage sale, featuring clean and gently used items, with one exception: everything is free. This is the seventh year that Faith Lutheran has hosted the free garage sale in Holstein. “We hold the event every year after school has started and before the cold weather sets in,” says Pastor Chris Schroder. “We have found that there is a need especially for children’s winter clothing items.” The slogan for the event is: “If you see something you can use, simply take it home with you.” Everyone from throughout the area is encouraged to come and look through the racks and displays. Faith volunteers receive

hundreds of boxes and bags of items each year. Everything is sized and neatly displayed so guests can browse and visit with friends old and new. For those who would like to donate items, drop them off at Faith Lutheran Church on Tuesday, Sept. 26, and Thursday, Sept. 28, from 3 to 7 p.m., on both days. Please remember to bring only clean, gently used items. Faith volunteers do not have the ability to wash or repair items in time for the event so nothing in poor condition can be accepted. Also,

therein lies the key to penetrating the heart and discovering the secrets within. The journey to self-discovery and unlocking the secrets of our heart begins by placing ourselves in a sacred place and quieting our mind. This is done through prayer and communal worship. The internal prayer of our heart must be framed by the external act of communal worship, and the external act of communal worship must be filled with the internal prayer of our heart. Prayer and communal worship is the key to unlocking the secrets of the heart. If we immerse ourselves in prayer, we hand Christ the keys to our hearts allowing the rays of His love and grace to bathe our souls in the light of His presence. Just as the rays of the sun bathe our bodies in light, so too will the rays of the Son’s love enlighten our mind and soul, observes the Christian writer Tim Keller. But will the clouds part, a shaft of light shine upon us and the heavenly hymns of the angels fill our ears? No. Very few people are granted this gift. But this does not mean we should totally give up on prayer and abandon Christ if we don’t feel an overpowering presence of

He can be reached at derickcranston@gmail.com.) This article is reprinted with permission of The Catholic Messenger, newspaper of the Diocese of Davenport. There is a transcendental beauty in the world that humanity naturally longs for and strives to comprehend. If we look inward, we will find that the unconscious mind can paint the world in colors of a mystical loveliness that makes exquisite the dull and ordinary things of this world. Musicians, writers and artists have seen it at times and make it visible through their work. Saints submerge themselves in it and show it to the world through the life they live. But what about the rest of us? Most of us are not great artists and certainly not saints. It is still possible though, to get a taste of God’s beauty in all its glory and let it nourish your soul. To open our eyes to God’s love, we need to block out the distractions of a hyper-busy world and “go to our upper room and pray in secret, for God knows the secrets of our heart.” And

his love for us. In our self-centered culture and classic American emphasis on work, we often feel we must accomplish something during our times of prayer. We rate our experience by how “good” our prayer was, how heartfelt our devotion was or how focused we were during our time of prayer. This is not the way to a healthy prayer life. All we must do is put ourselves in the presence of Christ. It may feel like he is not there, but he is. In the Gospel we read about Mary and Martha. Martha went around busily getting the house ready for Jesus’s visit, while her sister Mary just sat at the feet of Jesus. Martha wanted Jesus to rebuke Mary for not getting busy with the tasks at hand. But Jesus gently rebukes Martha and says, “Martha, Martha, you are worried about many things, but Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken away from her.” Open your heart and let God’s love penetrate you and unlock the secrets of your heart. Choose the better part, and sit at the feet of the Lord and simply be in his presence. Pray, because it is the better part, and it will not be taken from you.

Jaws of Life: The Ida Grove Fire Department held its annual barbecue fundraiser at the fire station Sept. 11. In addition to the barbecue, there were rides on the fire trucks for kids and a demonstration of the Jaws of Life. Here, members of the department demonstrate how the jaws can be used to take the doors off of a car.

What’s an emergency financial first aid kit? September is National Preparedness Month. My name is Sue Salcido. I am a community health nurse at Horn Memorial Hospital and a member of the Ida County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC). While setting aside stores of water, food, irst aid and supplies is essential to being prepared for everything from a two-day loss of power to a longer, emergency evacuation, have you prepared and protected essential documents and inancial resources? Can you ind the following documents immediately and leave the house with them in ive minutes? Marriage, birth and death certi icates; drivers licenses and social security cards; car, home and health insurance documents; wills and powers of attorney, bank account and credit card information. Having proper identi ication for everyone living in your household can provide proof when proof is needed. Photo ID such as a copy of a driver’s license or other ID should work. Especially important for children is to have a copy of their birth certi icate safe in this emergency kit. Social security cards, military service and pet ID tags are also a good idea to keep

in this kit. Health insurance cards are a must. In the event of a disaster or other emergency, injury is much more likely and health insurance cards can help you get the medical attention you need. Your physician information and immunization records will also provide doctors with your current medical situation and the information they need to provide proper medical care. After a disaster, it’s crucial you’re able to prove and protect your inances and insurance information. Unfortunately, regardless of the emergency, having to pay bills, manage credit cards and debts, etc. doesn’t stop. Certain documents containing housing payments, insurance policies, sources of income and tax statements are important to have for many reasons. Identifying inancial obligations will be much easier with these documents, and you’ll be less likely to forget about something that needs to be paid. Not sure what to put in you emergency inancial kit? Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created an Emergency Financial First Aid Kit (EFFAK) to help you protect your inances. You can download the EFFAK at

https://www.fema.gov. Remember to identify your important documents and place them in a safe space like a safety deposit box at your bank. Have a store of cash that’s appropriate for your family’s needs that can cover at least three days of emergency lodging, food, etc. if you cannot return home. If you would like to join or know more about the MRC, call Patti Andrews at Horn Memorial Hospital at 712364-7311.

BC Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club visits Prairie Pedlar The Battle Creek Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club members opened their new club year with a visit to the Prairie Pedlar north of Odebolt. After coffee and muf ins were served by Betty Petersen, Marcella Segebart and Phyllis Groth, owners Jane and Jack Hogue welcomed the guests. Their business began 32 years ago and relocated to the current location in 1995. In 2007, their daughter requested a garden wedding and thus began the tradition of garden weddings at the Prairie Pedlar. They now host about 20 weddings each summer. Jane explained how the large house on the north side of their acreage was moved from its former location at the corner of L-67 and Highway 20 about four years ago. Their daughter and husband have nearly inished restoring the house. Using fragrant fresh lowers and herbs, Jane gave a demonstration on how to make a Tussie Mussie, a small hand held bouquet. As she added each piece, she explained their signi icance from Victorian times. She remarked that Shakespeare used lower and plant metaphors in many of his plays. Jack led a garden tour and shared his considerable knowledge. They plant about 6,000 annuals each spring for continued color all summer as perennials usually bloom for only a few weeks. Their gardens have evolved over the years and were very vibrant in color on the day of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit. They have added many pollinator plants to encourage bees and butter lies. The members enjoyed lunch at Zimmyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, then held a brief business meeting. Roll call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;name your favorite fall lowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was answered by nine members. The secretaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minutes and the exit report from the band concert were read and approved. The treasurerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report was given and iled. In old business, Larry and Sharon Forthum and Greg Storck were thanked for their efforts to build and dismantle the club loat for the July 4th parade. Those who assisted with the refreshments for the band concert were acknowledged. Appreciation was expressed for the many members and friends that have tended the 38 lower planters this year. They include business-

Brueck reported that the Battle Creek sign committee met twice during the summer and is making progress on two new signs. A memorial service for past president Karen Krayenhagen was conducted.

Quilters honor area veterans Everything is ready for the 2017 Sac County Quilt-A-Fair on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 23 and 24 at the fairgrounds in Sac City. The show committee members are ready to receive the 300 quilt entries on Wednesday and Thursday between 1 and 7 p.m. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food vendors are Kiwanis, Sizzlin J BBQ, TJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Homemade Rolls and Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coffee Bar. The quilt-a-fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special guest, Ami Simms, will welcome visitors in her booth and will present a different lecture each day at 1 p.m. in the 4-H building. The classic tractor ride line up is at 8 a.m. on Saturday and the car/truck show is Sunday afternoon. Every kind of quilt imaginable will be displayed, but visitors will see a large group of

special patriotic quilts. These quilts of valor are made especially for armed service members and veterans of all wars to honor their service and sacri ice. The national Quilt of Valor Foundation has a mission to cover service members and veterans who have been touched by war with comforting and healing quilts. The irst quilt of valor was presented in 2003 to a young soldier from Minnesota who lost his leg in Iraq. Since that time more than 167,750 quilts of valor have been presented to men and women all over the United States. The Sac County Quilt-A-Fair will host a quilt of valor ceremony Sept. 24, at 3 p.m. in the 4-H building. The ceremony

will begin with a color guard composed of representatives from each of the Legion posts in Sac County. Each quilt of valor recipient will be acknowledged individually and will receive his quilt of valor from the individuals who pieced and quilted his quilt, as well as a certi icate of appreciation. At the conclusion of the presentations, Laurie Kluver, Sac County Veterans Affairs director, will share some words of appreciation. Kelly Kilbride, a native of Sac City who participates in Bugles Across America will play â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retreatâ&#x20AC;? and the colors will be retired by the color guard. Most of the quilts of valor will be awarded at the quilta-fair ceremony, but a couple

of them will be presented privately at a later time. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipients are: WWIIâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Robert Williams of Lytton, Mars Domino of Early, Minard Petersen of Lake View, Wilbert Rohde of Wall Lake, William Geake of Wall Lake, Gerhard Ausborn of Sac City, Keith Spicer of Sac City, Jean Lange of Sac City, George Turnquist of Schaller and George Landgraf of Odebolt; Vietnamâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;William Fettes of Sioux Falls, S.D., Jeff Bromley of Peterson, Russ Buddin of Lake View and Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;James Wallace of Lake View. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are inviting the honorees, their families and friends to join us for the ceremony. Recipients, their family and friends who come for the presentation will be admitted to the building at no cost. We expect more than 1,000 people to attend the show this weekend,â&#x20AC;? said Susan Irwin, quilt show chair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past, we have attracted visitors from most of the counties in Iowa as well as 15-20 other states.â&#x20AC;? The buildings where the quilt show activities take place are both handicapped accessible. There is no entry fee for the special events taking place on the fairgrounds, however there is a small entry fee to view the quilts.

Also during conversations with the male, he threatened to shoot law enforcement of icers out of his window. A perimeter was set up and neighbors evac-

uated from their homes. Iowa State Patrol sent a crisis negotiator to assist. The negotiator was able to talk the man into surrendering around 4:15 p.m. The male was taken to an area hospital for an evaluation. No injuries reported. Responding to assist the Sac County Sheriff’s Of ice were the Lake View Police, Department of Natural Recourses Conservation of icer, Iowa State Patrol, Sac County attorney and the Lake View Ambulance. Buena Vista County Sheriff’s Of ice Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) was en route to Wall Lake when the male surrendered.
