Floral Tributes

The meaning of Memorial Day By Rebecca Peter The day was windy and damp, but the Garner community once again paid tribute to fallen servicemen and women. Memorial Day services at Garner were held at the high school auditorium, Monday, May 27. Ivan Dodd, a Navy veteran and former mayor of Garner, gave this year’s Memorial Day address. He thanked the volunteers, who the Friday before, put up the flags at Central Park. Each flag honors veteran, now deceased. “It is a beautiful sight to see,â€? he said. Memorial Day is a legal holiday set aside to honor those who are deceased who served our country. “We are joining millions of people across United States‌remembering those who have served and died for this country. They were heroes.â€? “Why do we go to different foreign countries to serve, sometimes losing our young men and women? As a veteran of Vietnam I can tell you honestly, sometimes we have to go overseas to other countries to protect what’s ours at home. I firmly believe that.â€? Dodd recalled the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and the bombing at the 2013 Boston Marathon. “Today, we are at war. It’s a thing called terrorism and it’s an ugly word. Those people who died that day at the World Trade Center and those who passed away at the Marathon‌paid the ultimate price. I don’t think we as citizens should ever forget that,â€? he stated. Last year, Dodd went on the eighth and final Honor Flight Winnebago, which transported veterans to see the World War II Memorial and various other monuments in Washington, D.C. The flight included veterans who received the Purple Heart.

Services were held at high school due to inclement weather. (Leader photo by Rebecca Peter) They were met by former Garner resident, retired Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Dennis Hejlik. “[Hejlik] made a quote that day I wanted to share with you. He said, ‘Why in the world would anybody want to earn the Purple Heart? To earn the Purple Heart you had to be wounded in battle. I’m sure that for every day someone who earned the Purple Heart didn’t get up and say, ‘Well, I’m going to earn the Purple Heart today. I’m sure that was not on their mind’.� “But that is what our young military men and women do every day. They put their lives on the line for the protection of our freedoms.� “It’s one of those things that those

Rotary exchange student bids Garner adieu By Rebecca Peter GARNER - It has been a year of new experiences and new friends for Leonard Heurtebize of Laval, France. The 17-year-old was a part of the Garner community through the Rotary International student exchange program for the 2012-13 school year. He is the son of Bruno and Christine Heurtebize. He also has two older brothers. Laval is a city of about 60,000 southwest of Paris. The region is known for its dairy industry. From a young age, Heurtebize wanted to visit the United States. He previously participated in a three-month exchange program to Germany. “That made want me travel even more,� he said. He knew about major cities in the United States such as New York and Los Angeles. When he learned he was

who have served ‌really understand the personal sacrifice.â€? Dodd also quoted General Dwight D. Eisenhower: “I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can. Only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, and its stupidity.â€? He concluded, “As we go today, I ask you to remember those who have given the supreme sacrifice so that we as citizens can live in peace and harmony. Remember, all gave some. Some gave all.â€? The Memorial Day program included a welcome by VFW Commander Gary Madsen, invocation and benediction by Rev. Harvey Opp, and the reading of MEMORIAL DAY to page 14

going to Iowa, he did some research to learn more about the state. “At first I really didn’t know what to think,� he recalled. His father, a high school German teacher, encouraged him to come to Iowa. In a smaller town, Leonard would have the opportunity to get to know people and find out what rural America is like. “He’s actually right,� Leonard said. “I enjoy being here a lot. I have some really close friends. There are other places to visit in the United States, but if you want a place to live the whole year, being in a smaller area, is good.� Leonard arrived at Garner last August. His first host family was Dave and Joan Zrostlik followed by George and Nina Greiman. He is finishing a three-week stay with Dean and Beverly Cataldo. He will return home on June 8. What was most enjoyable about his time at Garner? “Pretty much everything,� he responded. “Garner is a small town so everybody knows each other. People are really close to each other. I really enjoyed that.� Probably one of the most challenging aspects was English as spoken in America. In school, Leonard learned English as spoken in Great Britain. “There’s a lot of slang,� he explained. “At first you don’t pick up everything if you’re not used to English all the time.� The language challenge lessened as the year progressed. Heurtebize was a senior at GarnerHayfield / Ventura where he studied anatomy, English, American history, American government, statistics, health, and sociology. School at GHV came as a pleasant surprise. A little apprehensive initially, Heurtebize discovered it was easy to fit into school. “This first year of whole grade sharing, the students from Ventura were also new at the high school, so I got

He will return to his home country of France this week. (Leader photo by Rebecca Peter) along with the Ventura kids a lot,� he said. Leonard found it easy to talk to his teachers at GHV and was comfortable asking them questions about the lesson. Extra curricular activities included vocal music, football, basketball, and soccer. He scored the winning goal in overtime against West Sioux during the sub state semifinals in boy’s soccer in May. “School is way different in France,� he said. Hours are between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. There are no schoolsponsored sports teams or extra-curricular activities. Such activities are outside of the school. Students who have an interest in music or the arts attend schools that focus on that curriculum or take private lessons.

GHV Homecoming, prom, and commencement were also new experiences. Leonard had the opportunity to attend football and basketball games at Iowa State University, visit Florida and the Mall of America in Minneapolis. He met with other Rotary exchange students at the University of Northern Iowa and at a national conference in Oklahoma. On May 19, Heurtebize was given a Certificate of Attendance during Garner-Hayfield / Ventura commencement. He will have one more year of high school upon returning to France. His future plans include attending college and possibly a military career. He appreciated recognition of veterans and their families during Garner’s HEURTEBIZE to page 14

Bash on the Farm June 21-22 in Forest City FOREST CITY – More than 50 artists will perform this year at Bash on the Farm, on June 21-22 at Heritage Park in Forest City. The festival will feature Christian music from a variety of genres throughout the weekend. Pop/Rock artist Jason Gray and hard rock band Disciple will headline the 2013 event. The festival will run from approximately 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday, and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday. A new addition for the 2013 festival will be a Saturday afternoon lineup of gospel music on the Yard Stage. “We’ve always had easy listening style music on the Yard Stage but have added national touring gospel groups throughout the weekend this year, mainly on Saturday afternoon,� said Rebekah Lorenz, Band Coordinator for Bash on the Farm. Among the gospel groups featured on Saturday will be The McClellan Singing Sisters, a southern gospel group comprised of four sisters ages 11-21 from Adams, Neb., and southern gospel trio Crimson River from Hampton, Ill. Headlining Friday evening singer-songwriter Jason Gray brings an inspirational message for all ages through both his life story and music. Gray says. “With all my songs, I want to be conscientious of the person who feels like an outsider, excluded because of their pain. I hope by acknowledging difficulty,

heartbreak, and pain that I can cast a line for them to hold onto and be drawn in.� Saturday’s headliner, Disciple, will appeal to those who like it loud and are ready to rock, both young and old alike. Disciple lead vocalist Kevin Young says. “Live, everything is tuned up a notch, and not just the volume: the energy, the intensity, everything. It’s a feeling of being wrapped up in the music, of being lost in the music. We’re going to be loud enough that you won’t be able to mistake it.� Many more popular groups from across the country will be performing during the weekend including Ashes Remain, Children 18:3, The Wedding, The Madison Letter, White Ribbon Day, Cord of 3, Hyland, Zac Svoboda, and many more. Camping will be available throughout the weekend with both tent and electric RV sites available. Camping registration for the weekend will be $25 for a tent site, $40 for an electric site. Preregistration is not available. Please visit www.bashonthefarm.com for more camping details. Bash on the Farm is a familyfriendly Christian music festival that has been held annually since 2001. In 2012 Bash drew approximately 3,300 people last year at its new location in Forest City. About 250

June is here. School is over (or almost for some) and learning can be put on hold until August. Right? Not exactly, learning continues as youth experience new things over the summer and build upon what they already know. It does not matter whether they are playing sports all summer or working. For example, they associate seatbelts with safety. According to the 2011 national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), only 7.7% rarely wear a seatbelt when riding in a car with someone. They also know smoking is unhealthy. Despite what they know about healthy and safe choices, nationally, alcohol continues to be the number one drug used and abused by youth. To date, 70.8% of students had at least one drink on at least one day during their life (YRBS, 2011). How does this translate to North Iowa? According to the 2012 Iowa Youth Survey (IYS), 33,262 students (47 percent) reported having their first drink at or before the age of 16. According to the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health (2011), “youth who start drinking before the age of 15 are five times more likely to develop alcohol dependence or abuse in their lifetimes than those who begin drinking at age 21 or older.” In addition, youth drinking is estimated to account for between 11% and 20% of the US alcohol market. To put this into perspective, 11% is 3.6 billion drinks per year. Drinking trends among youth in North Iowa are beginning to shift.

This is a slow process. For example, in Hancock County from 2002 to 2010, the percentage of eighth grade students who have not had a drink in the past 30 days increased from 85.8% to 89.5 percent. How do we keep this trend going? We need to not only buy into this, but also carry out the Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking. But before we can address the six goals indentified to reduce the number of underage drinkers and prevent youth from beginning to drink, we need to first, define “we.” Who is going to do this? Can one person help? Sure, but the Call to Action asks for a culture shift. It asks for “we” as a community to change how we view alcohol use. “We” can be defined as the convenience store staff member who refuses to sell alcohol to a minor. “We” can also be the parent who says even though he drank in high school he is not going to allow his children to do the same. “We” can also be defined as the community volunteer at the local summer street dance who refuses to serve a person she knows is a minor, even though the individual acquired a 21 or older bracelet, granting him the ability to buy a glass of beer in the beer tent. Relax this summer. Enjoy beautiful weather activities and do not be afraid to ask someone, what have you done to prevent youth from drinking today? Submitted by: Meagen M. Wentz, MS, Prevention Specialist, Prairie Ridge Addiction Treatment Services

The end of the 2013 Legislative Session is here and as legislators go back to their regular jobs, get the crops into the fields and continue on with their family activities, it is worth looking back at important issues in order for us to move forward. Property Tax Reform - Senate Republicans have advocated all session for much-needed comprehensive tax reform. A bill was passed by both the House and Senate and sent to conference committee. The result was the largest property tax cut in Iowa history that rolls back commercial property taxes to 90%, and residential and agricultural property taxes to 3% growth valuation. Further, the bill gives a dramatic cut to apartment complexes and assisted living facilities. While this legislation enables small businesses to create jobs and Iowa families to keep more of their hardearned money, Senate Republicans believe Iowans are taxed enough already and more relief can be achieved. We will continue to fight for reforms such as locking down property tax valuation increases. Alternative to Medicaid Expansion - The federal government is marching toward universal healthcare with the nation-wide push for Medicaid expansion. The program funds are uncertain as the federal government struggles with spending issues and seems to have no regard for healthy outcomes of its participants. Senate Republicans want Iowa to take own-

ership of its healthcare program and find solutions that enable citizens to become healthier. Iowans deserve affordable healthcare; however, allowing our state to become beholden to the federal government by expanding a flawed system is not the answer. Working to identify solutions to help Iowans lead healthier lives will reduce healthcare costs without saddling Iowans with higher taxes to pay for an unsustainable program. Education Reform - Senate Republicans have been working toward education reform since 2011. While we believe the education reform passed by both chambers could be more focused on student outcomes rather than funding, Senate Republicans are proud of our many victories this session. These reforms include independent accreditation of nonpublic schools, establishment of private instruction by a teaching parent that is exempt from school district reporting requirements, parental instruction of driver’s education, and parental instruction for up to four non-related students. Senate Republicans offered other innovative reforms this session, including Education Savings Accounts, an end to the tuition set-aside program, 2% allowable growth, and changing the measurement of student instruction time from days to hours. Income Tax Relief - This session Senate Republicans crafted a bill changing the tax code for the benefit

QUESTION: There are so many kinds of sunscreen on the market how do I know which one I should buy? ANSWER: Jennifer Rosenmeyer, ARNP, Hancock County Health System medical staff, providing treatment and care for the whole family at Britt and Kanawha Medical Clinics and Med Spa, Elements of Aesthetics. The important thing to remember about sunscreen is to purchase one that is broad spectrum, which means it protects you from both types of harmful ultraviolet sun rays, UVA and UVB. UV radiation is the #1 cause of skin cancer. UVA rays penetrate deeper than UVB rays and prolonged exposure can lead to breakdown of our skins collagen and elasticity causing photoaging such as brown spots and wrinkles. UVB rays penetrate less deeply but play a key role in the development of skin cancer. UVB rays are the primary cause of sunburn. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that everyone should wear a broad spectrum sunscreen with a SPF (sun protection factor) 30 or greater and water resistant. Remember to apply to all areas of skin exposed to the sun, including lip protection. One ounce of sunscreen is the normal recommended dose to cover exposed areas. Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before going outdoors and reapply every 2 hours as well as immediately after swimming or sweating. Look for a product with the Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation which guarantee’s that a sunscreen product meets the highest standards for safety and effectiveness. Sunscreen should be worn everyday all year round starting at the age of six months, regardless of skin type and color. Children under the age of six months should not be in the sun. Additional measures to reduce your

The Future Is Now It’s been a couple weeks since the Xbox One announcement but the industry is still churning over the revelations about Microsoft’s plan for the future of gaming. Not surprisingly though, the bulk of the discussion centers around something not formally announced at the press conference, but during the frantic interviews immediately after. Not impressed with the cable TV features or hand waving controls for the new system, video game journalists hunted down Microsoft employees in a position to speak on a subject conspicuously not mentioned. Will the Xbox One play used video games? The answer, unofficially, is ‘No.’ At least not the way gamers are accustomed to. The prevailing speculation is that games from the Xbox One will follow in the footsteps of the PC industry. For most PC games, a game disk is virtually worthless nowadays. When you go to a store and buy a $60 game for the PC, what you’re really paying for is the 20-diget activation code. If you read my column regularly, you already know this. You also know that for some time now I’ve been predicting that the console gaming industry will someday follow suit. Well, today is that day. Naturally, the Internet is outraged.

want to rent a game for the weekend, this looks like the end of the line for them. And before you brush off this outrage as nothing more than an overreaction from frothing Internet fanboys, note that GameStop’s stock dropped 19% in the week after the Xbox One announcement. This sort of thing will have very real consequences in the industry. I understand the outrage. Used games and rentals were major parts of my gaming life growing up. The only thing more exciting than visiting Premier Video or Blockbuster to pick out a game to play for a weekend was tracking down elusive FuncoLand stores in Minneapolis or Des Moines to see what used games they had available. And even today my little brother’s collection of Xbox and Xbox 360 games consists entirely of pre-owned games and hand-me-downs. But, at the same time, things need to change. If the used game industry falls, something else will take its place. In the PC world we’re seeing that already. Just this weekend I bought “The Walking Dead” as part of the weekly ‘Humble Bundle’ sale. It’s a fascinating economical experiment. Several games are packaged together

in a bundle and customers are invited to name their price. Generally the games bundled are lesser known titles that didn’t sell well in the first place, so the developers are literally selling them for whatever they can get. The kicker is that the amount each customer decides to pay is tallied and calculated into an overall average, and if you spend more than the average they will throw in a more popular game. In this case it was “The Walking Dead,” which was named Game of the Year for 2012 and generally sells for $25. To get it in this week’s Humble Bundle requires beating the average payment of about $5. Some people paid $100. Others paid the bare minimum. I paid $10 and got a game I really wanted along with a bunch that I probably never would have purchased otherwise. So while I understand the fear that gamers on a budget have over the possibility of used games costing as much as new ones, I’m confident that the industry will adjust itself to fill that void. Travis Fischer is a newswriter for Mid-America Publishing and is embracing the future… as long as it’s at least 50% off.

Looking back as 2013 Legislative Session comes to an end The View from Here by Dennis Guth

Iowa State Senator District 4 dennis.guth@legis.iowa.gov • 641-430-0424 of Iowans and enabling hard-working taxpayers to keep more of their money. The bill provides for a comprehensive overhaul of the Iowa income tax system giving Iowans a choice when paying their income taxes: either the current system or the new simplifed system. Compared to current law, the proposed plan provides an overall 5% reduction in income tax liability in the first year of enactment, an overall 10% reduction in liability in the second year, and an overall 15% reduction in liability in the third year and beyond. Unfortunately, Senate Democrats blocked the bill; however, Senate Republicans will keep fighting for tax relief. Constitutional Authority - Legislation offered by Senate Republicans attempted to put Iowans first and make the lawmaking process more transparent. The proposed bill required a statement of constitutional authority for each bill, providing greater government accountability for Iowans. Unfortunately, Senate Democrats put government first and decided against advancing this common sense measure. Senate Republicans remain committed to working toward greater government accountability. Voter ID - Voter fraud in Iowa is

a growing concern and has the potential to skew election results and damage the integrity of our election system. Senate Republicans believe any amount of voter fraud is unacceptable and should be stopped. We are committed to strengthening our election process and providing Iowans a protected voting system in which every vote counts; therefore, we offered a bill and an amendment requiring a person to provide proof of identity to a precinct election official on Election Day before being allowed to vote. Protecting the integrity of Iowa’s election process is an important goal for Senate Republicans and we will continue to fight for commonsense voter ID measures to provide Iowans greater confidence in casting their vote. Senate Republicans worked in a bipartisan fashion on many issues this session to pass legislation that will have meaningful and lasting effects on Iowans; however, the fight for conservative policy continues as most of the Senate Republican legislation offered was disregarded or was voted down this year. We remain committed to fighting for fiscal responsibility and conservative values as the General Assembly continues next year.

DES MOINES, IA – State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald is encouraging Iowans across the state to be on the lookout for this week’s Great Iowa Treasure Hunt publication. “We are currently holding over $258 million for over one million accounts,� Fitzgerald stated. Iowans are encouraged to check their local papers and see if their name or the name of someone they know is listed. The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt is a free service provided by the treasurer’s office. “My office wants to reach as many Iowans as possible to make them aware of this program,� Fitzgerald said. “The more people who know about the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt, the more money we are able to return.� The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt program has returned over $160 million

in unclaimed property to more than 394,000 individuals since Fitzgerald started the program in 1983. Unclaimed property refers to money and other assets held by financial institutions or companies that have lost contact with the property’s owner for a specific period of time. State law requires these institutions and companies to annually report and deliver unclaimed property to the state treasurer’s office, where it is held until the rightful owner of the property is found. The money could be from forgotten or inactive savings/checking accounts, utility refunds or deposits, uncashed insurance benefit checks, lost stock and dividends or even abandoned safe deposit box contents. Visit greatiowatreasurehunt.com to see if the state treasurer has property belonging to you.

Old business was that no one was going to attend the State Convention this year. New business was the introduction of our new officers for next year: President, Connie Greiman; Vice President, Dorothy Denny; Secretary, Sharon Kraus; Treasurer, Lois Woiwood. A motion was made and seconded, that the group try to have meetings changed to afternoons at 1:30 p.m. on the 1st and

3rd Thursday of each month. This can be changed by the hostesses, if needed. Installation of the new officers was then held followed by the Torch Bearer’s ceremony. The meeting was then closed with the Closing Ritual, followed by the Mizpah. Lunch was served by the hostesses and enjoyed by all.

Kick Start Your NIACC Degree with Past Work Experience North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC), through the Council on Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), is now offering a prior learning assessment and an opportunity for people to earn college credit for their non-classroom experiences. These experiences may come from work, military service, non-credit course, employer training programs, volunteer or community service, or personal experiences. “More and more adults are returning to school to retain their current jobs, to find employment, to compete for higher-paying positions, or to complete a degree they started years ago. But the traditional structure and organization of higher education often makes it difficult for them to stay in school and graduate,� said Lyn Brodersen, Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs at NIACC. “When people receive college credit for what they know from life and work experience, they earn their degrees and credentials faster, saving money on tuition,� Brodersen said. “They also learn the value of their experience, which gives them confidence to complete their degrees. CAEL helps adults earn college credit for what they already know.� To be successful in this program, interested people must have the following: High School Diploma or GED;

Access to a computer with high-speed internet; Be motivated and have some experience or interest in online learning; Be self-reflective; Be willing to commit to understanding what constitutes college-level learning; Have college-level competency in written English or be willing to get help by signing up for a 1-semester-hour mastery writing class along with the non-credit Portfolio class. Other important details of the program: • Those interested must meet with a counselor to determine what NIACC certificate, diploma, or degree they want to earn credit towards. • Enrollment in the NIACC noncredit Continuing Education course “Developing your Portfolio for College Creditâ€? is also required. This course is a self-paced online, non-credit class that guides the person through the preparation and development of their learning portfolio. You would complete this course on your own schedule but must submit your portfolio within six months of the start date of the noncredit course. • After developing your portfolio it would be submitted to CAEL for evaluation of credit. • Up to 12 credits are possible in the same subject portfolio. There is no limit on the number of portfolios you can submit, but a limit of 30 semester hours

Waldorf College Hosts Piano Camp August 1-7 Forest City, Iowa – Students entering grades 5–12 who are interested in advancing their piano playing skills are invited to attend piano camp at Waldorf College August 1-7. Directed by experienced and gifted teachers, Waldorf piano camp prepares students for all aspects of being a pianist. “Camp is a fun and exciting opportunity for students to develop their piano skills and meet other kids interested in playing,â€? said Dr. KristĂ­n Taylor, associate professor of music and keyboard area coordinator at Waldorf. “At camp, we build on the skills they already have and learn new ones, helping them become better pianists.â€? Students entering grades 5-8 will attend camp August 1-4, while students in grades 9-12 will be in camp August 4-7. Students must be level B/C in the

Iowa Teacher’s Association syllabus or using Level 3+ lesson books. Instructors include Dr. Taylor, Dr. Elaina Burns, Amanda Setlik, and Ellen Bjorge.

Register now for Family Economics and Financial Education Training AMES, Iowa – Iowa school children may be counting the days until summer vacation begins, but they may not realize summer means “back to school� for teachers. Registration is now open for the fourth annual Iowa Family Economics and Financial Education (FEFE) Teacher Training workshop. This workshop focuses on teaching middle and high school educators to use new tools and build their skills to teach financial literacy to their students. Research compiled by Cynthia Fletcher, a professor and family economics specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, shows that many educators feel they are not well prepared to teach financial skills to their students. “While 89 percent of the teachers surveyed agree that students need financial education, relatively few teachers believe they are adequately prepared to teach personal finance topics,� said Fletcher. “The summer workshop is our direct response to that professional development need in Iowa.� In 2012, educators who attended the ISU training workshop were asked to fill out a survey. Only 27 percent felt

they were well prepared to teach financial education to their students coming into the workshop. After the course, 87 percent felt that they were well prepared. “These surveys show dramatic change in the confidence and preparation to teach this content after the workshop,� said Fletcher. The Iowa FEFE Educator Training workshop is Aug. 6-8 at Iowa State University. To register, visit the registration website at http://www.ucs.iastate.edu/ mnet/fefe/home.html. The registration deadline is July 15. Licensed Iowa educators will receive a discount on the workshop price. Attendees will receive hard copies of the FEFE curriculum, learn about new technologies and identify ways to customize the information learned during the workshop to fit their classroom.

Kids' 4H Club closes out year West Hancock Afterschool Kids’ 4-H Club ended their Tuesday meetings on April 30 with Sonny and Chrysta Bruns telling them about 4-H Shooting Sports. The club started meeting on January 29 when they picked pets and science as their project area. Speakers included Linda Friedow telling them about dogs and how to train them, Sydney Harle and Jade Oberhelman giving them information on rabbitshow to care for and show them, and Crystal Drake and Laurie Hadacek, the horse project leaders, who told them about horse care and what the horse shows at the fair involve. Club members also learned how to make a lava lamp, silly putty, why Ivory soap floats, how to color milk, and how to make ping pong balls float in the air. Their field trip was going to Iowa State University to the Molecular

Biology Building. Here Mike Zeller, Biotechnology Outreach Education Coordinator, helped them collect their DNA, showed them how to test DNA to solve a crime, and had them create a Reebop from a genetic code. Their community service project was having a donation drive for the Mason City Humane Society. They set up collection sites and made posters for their classrooms so students could donate items for the pets. West Hancock Afterschool Kids’ 4-H Club is for grades 3rd-5th and they meet on Tuesdays during the school year. Members pick the project area they want to learn more about and have the opportunity to help pick speakers, where to go for a field trip, the community service project, and take turns at being a leader for the meetings. They are sponsored by the Hancock County Extension Council

with funding through a Youth Development grant from the Iowa Department of Health.

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 • The

Rough Start for GHV Baseball Baseball season for Garner-Hayfield/ Ventura opened with a full schedule of games last week. The Cardinals’ first action of the week featured a road trip to Clarion on Tuesday but a road trip to North Union on Wednesday was washed out. GHV entertained their home crowd for the first time this season on Thursday with a game against Hampton-Dumont and then finished the week at Rockford on Friday. Tuesday’s game at Clarion began as a defensive battle until the third inning when the Cowboys plated three runs. Clarion added single runs in the fourth and fifth inning before ending the game with a five-run sixth inning. Offensively GHV finished the game with four total hits, led by Nick Roberts with a double in the fifth inning. Zach Buseman, Nathan Hrubes and Jimmy Ermer all added singles for the Cards. Buseman started on the mound for GHV, surrendering four runs on four hits and a walk with one strikeout. Josh Theobald relieved Buseman in the fifth inning to give up four runs on one hit and two walks while fanning two. Nick Roberts came in during the sixth inning to surrender a pair of runs on four walks. Another close game got away from GHV in Thursday’s home opener against the Bulldogs. After a scoreless first inning Hampton scored once in the second inning and plated two more in the third to gain an early lead. The Cardinals scored once in their half of the third inning only to see the visitors extend their lead with three runs in the fourth inning. Hampton then brought an early end to the game with nine runs in the fifth to hand GHV a 15 – 1 loss. The Cardinals managed to pick up three hits against Hampton as Nick Roberts, Josh Theobald and Cory Boeckman all singled. Heath Hutcheson started on the mound for GHV, giving up nine hits and five walks with three strikeouts. Matt Schroeder relieved Hutcheson in the

Derek Lonneman finished the night on the Cardinal mound, allowing two hits and a walk. Friday’s game at Rockford proved to be much closer in spite of GHV dropping a 5 – 1 decision. The Cardinals gained an early lead as Nick Roberts hit a one-out single in the first inning and eventually scored on Braden Meints’ ground out. That would prove to be the only offensive highlight of the game for GHV while Rockford tied the game in the bottom of the second inning and then scored three times in the third for the lead. A Warrior insurance run in the fifth sealed the win for Rockford as lightning forced an early end to the game. Roberts, Heath Hutcheson and Keith Schwickerath all singled in the game to account for all of the Cardinals’ hits. Josh Theobald went the distance on the mound for GHV, surrendering only two earned runs while giving up six hits and a walk while fanning six. The Cardinals will have several chances to pick up their first win of the

season this week. GHV will travel to Fort Dodge on Memorial Day for tournament action before going to Bancroft on Wednesday to make up the rained out game against North Union. North Iowa Conference play begins on Friday at home against Newman and the Cards will see more tournament action on Saturday at Lake Mills. Box scores from last week’s games follow.

Ten letterwinners return to West Hancock baseball The West Hancock baseball team is returning ten letterwinners from last year’s roster this season. This will be the largest amount of experienced varsity players returning for the Eagles since Coach Sonius took over. Coach Sonius kicks off this third season at the helm of the West Hancock program with assistants Tyler Jansen and John Paulus. The Eagles eagerly welcome back seniors Josiah Eckels (center field), Jon Burgardt (third base), Mason Muth (second base), Cory Formanek (outfield), and Zach Paulus (catcher). Remaining letterwinners include junior Tim Smidt (pitcher), sophomore Trevor Nalan (pitcher) and freshmen Connor Sonius (first base), Nate Paulus (shortstop) and Nelson Barranca (outfield). “This group of experienced players will really help us out this season, it

feels good to have a group of pitchers coming back with some experience also.� Coach Sonius also noted that junior Mark Roth will “give us some depth at catcher and outfield. We have a strong group of eighth graders that could see a little spot duty as runners and batters in varsity.� The Eagles were 4-17 overall for the 2012 season and 2-12 in North Iowa Conference action. “Our goal this season is to try and finish in the upper half of the conference, which would be a great finish as this is one of the premier conferences in the state with Newman and Forest City,� said Sonius. A key factor to reach their 2013 goals will be “getting good outings from our pitchers and giving them some support offensively where we struggled last year nightly.�

The Eagles kicked off their season with a 5-4 victory over Clarion-Goldfield on Monday, May 20. Clarion took control through first two innings leading 3-0 before the Eagles scored four in the third to pull ahead 4-3. West Hancock added their final run in the fourth to make it 5-3. Clarion came close, adding an additional run in the sixth, but the Eagles were able to hold them off in the seventh to earn the victory in the season opener. Nate Paulus led at the plate with three hits, Jon Burgardt added two, while Connor Sonius, Zach Paulus and mason Muth added one hit apiece. Zach and Burgardt each earned two RBI’s, while Nate stole twice. Tim Smidt and Sonius took to the mound for the Eagles pitching four and three innings respectively.

The Eagles played their second game on the season last Friday in their conference opener against Forest City on the road. West Hancock dropped the 3 ½ hour game 7-11 to the Indians. The game was postponed one hour due to rain. Smidt and Sonius shared time on the mound again. Smidt pitched 3 2/3 innings while Sonius threw for 2 1/3. Smidt struck out three and walked two while giving up three hits and nine runs (five earned). Sonius struck out two and walked one while allowing three hits and two runs (one earned). Burgardt connected for two hits and two RBI’s, while Eckels, Smidt, Sonius and Formanek each recorded one hit apiece. Formanek’s hit earned a double and brought in two runs.

Cardinal Boys Top N-K After an extended layoff caused by wet weather, the Garner-Hayfield/Ventura baseball returned to the field on Friday only to have their North Iowa Conference opener washed out in the third inning. The Cards then traveled to Lake Mills on Saturday where they picked up their first win of the year. GHV had a tough start in their first round game with St. Ansgar. The Saints jumped out to a big lead, scoring four runs against the Cards in the top of the first inning. GHV cut the gap to 4 – 2 with a pair of runs in the bottom of the first only to see the Saints add solo runs in the second and third innings to make the score 6 – 2. GHV responded with a run in the third but St. Ansgar kept the Cards down with more runs in the fourth and fifth innings. Down 8 – 4, GHV scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to keep the game exciting but the Saints shut the door in the seventh to preserve the win. The Cardinal bats had a big game finishing the contest with a dozen hits. Zach Buseman led the way with a double and two singles followed by Heath Hutcheson, Braden Meints and Keith Schwickerath all with two base hits each. Spencer Shaw, Josh Theobald and Jimmy Ermer all added a single to complete the hitting total. Hutcheson went the distance on the mound for the Cardinals, surrendering 11 hits and three walks with two strikeouts. The first inning of GHV’s consolation game against Northwood-Kensett had a similar beginning. The Vikings plated four runs in the top of the first inning, appearing to take control of the game but the Cards answered with a pair of runs in their half of the first. GHV took advantage of several miscues to get back into the game and then surged ahead with three runs in the second courtesy of more Viking errors. N-K knotted the scored at 5 – 5 with a run in the third inning only to see GHV score in the bottom of the third to retake the lead. The Cards added another run in the fourth, but a two-run fifth for the Vikings retied the score. GHV scored the go-ahead run in their half of the fifth and then added an insurance run in the sixth on the way to a 9 – 7 win. Heath Hutcheson had a big game at the plate, leading GHV with three RBI’s on a double and two singles. Nick Roberts, Braden Meints and Keith Schwickerath all added base hits to the Cardinal offense. Nick Roberts started on the mound for the Cards, giving up four hits and four walks. Schwickerath relieved Roberts in the second inning, fanning four Vikings while giving up four hits and four walks. Josh Theobald took over in the fifth inning, picking up the win by holding Northwood hitless while striking out four and walking one. The Cardinals are now 1 – 4 on the season with a full week of action ahead. The Cards will travel to Lake Mills on Monday before hosting Osage on Wednesday. GHV will then travel to Clear Lake on Thursday before hosting Forest City on Friday. Box scores from last week’s games follow.

Cardinal Girls Open Softball Season

GHV softball coach Christi Weiser knew from day one that her Cardinal squad would feature mostly young and inexperienced players. That combination proved to be a humbling experience last week as the Cards faced three veteran teams fielding lots of upperclassmen. The result was three lopsided non-conference losses for GHV, but Weiser and her squad remain optimistic that good things lie ahead for them. The Cardinals traveled to Clarion on Tuesday for their opening game of the season. The Cowboys gained control from the beginning, holding GHV scoreless through the first three innings while plating one run in the first, five in the second and four more in the third. The Cardinals got on the board in the fourth inning as GHV took advantage of two Cowboy errors to score a run. Clarion answered with two runs in the bottom of the fourth to end the game in the fifth inning by ten-run rule. Mallory Van Oort’s fifth inning single was the only offensive highlight of the night for GHV as the Cardinal bats produced only the one hit. Taylor Reising surrendered nine hits in her pitching debut for GHV, walking six while fanning one. Coach Weiser commented, “It was a tough opening game loss but it gave us a lot of direction for what to work on.� After a rainout on Wednesday, the Cardinals returned to their home field on Thursday to host another strong North Central Conference team. Hampton-Dumont brought a very impressive pitcher to the diamond as the Bulldogs outscored GHV 16 – 0 in a no-hit shutout. GHV eighth-grader Brooklyn Ossman went the distance on the mound, giving up nine hits and seven walks. “The score is nowhere indicative of

the improvements made since Tuesday, but it is a good indicator of how much growth we need to make to compete in every game,� remarked Weiser. “Fortunately this group shows each day a great willingness to grow and learn.� On Friday the Cards traveled to Humboldt to face one of the better teams in the NCC. Good pitching by the Wildcats combined with some Cardinal miscues on the defensive side resulted in a 12 – 0 victory for Humboldt. Madee Hejna’s single in the first inning was the lone Cardinal hit of the game. Taylor Reising pitched a solid game for the Cards, giving up six hits and a pair of walks with two strikeouts. “This game showed us both the potential we have for success in our first two innings and the work we need to do during the third inning,� noted Coach Weiser. “Our pitchers are putting us in a position to succeed but we need to improve both offensively and defensively. Fortunately the kids are willing and able to do the needed work. It’s still very early and we are getting better every day.� The Cardinals will return to their home diamond this week with games against Mason City on Wednesday and Newman on Friday. GHV will then travel to Lake Mills on Saturday for tournament play. Box scores from last week’s games follow.

Last week’s wet weather not only forced the cancellation of Wednesday’s non-conference softball game with Mason City, but it also sent the Cardinals indoors for practice. The field eventually dried out on Friday, allowing Garner-Hayfield/Ventura to open the North Iowa Conference play against Newman Catholic. The Cardinals then traveled to Lake Mills on Saturday for a pair of tournament games. GHV played two innings of flawless softball against Newman on Friday, but the Knights combined three walks with three hits in the third inning to break the scoreless tie with three runs. Newman then resorted to their bunting game in the fourth inning to produce six more runs. GHV scored a run in the sixth inning to avoid the shut out, but Newman plated three more runs before the end on the way to a 12 – 1 win. The Cardinals finished the night with two hits on the offensive end as Mallory Van Oort and Tiara Van Gerpen each singled. Taylor Reising started on the mound for the Cards, surrendering nine hits and seven walks with a pair of strikeouts. Brooklyn Ossman relieved Reising in the fourth inning, giving up two hits and three walks with four K’s. Garner-Hayfield/Ventura lost two games at Lake Mills on Saturday. The Cardinals suffered a lopsided loss to Central Springs while falling in a onerun decision to Northwood-Kensett. In the Northwood game GHV found themselves in a hole early as the Vikings scored four runs in the first inning. The Cardinals scored single runs in the second, third and fourth innings to keep things interesting while N-K added a run to their total in the second. GHV plated another run in the sixth inning and had the tying run on second base when the Vikings put an end to the Cardinal rally. A scoreless seventh inning led to the 5 – 4 loss for GHV. The Cardinal bats had one of their better showings of the young season in spite of the loss. Maddie Tusha had a big game at the plate going four-forfour to lead GHV. Tiara Van Gerpen, Mackenzie Van Gerpen and Sadhna

Ades all added singles to the offensive effort. Taylor Reising went the distance on the mound for the Cards, giving up nine hits and two walks with five strikeouts. Central Springs could be one of the strongest softball teams in the area and the Panthers produced a lot of runs against GHV. Central Springs had plenty of base runners throughout the first four innings of the game, opening up a 7 – 0 lead after five innings. The Panthers then had their biggest inning of the game, scoring five times in the sixth to put the game away. GHV used a single by Maddie Tusha combined with Grace Tusha’s double to score a run in their half of the sixth and avoid the shutout. GHV finished the game with five hits as Grace Tusha finished with a single and a double to lead the way. Maddie Tusha, Brooklyn Ossman and Tiara Van Gerpen all singled as well. Ossman started on the mound for the Cards, giving up six hits and 10 walks with three strikeouts. Sydney Childress relieved Ossman in the sixth inning and walked five Panthers. There will be no rest for the Cardinals this week with games scheduled every day. GHV will travel to Lake Mills on Monday and CWL on Tuesday before returning home on Wednesday to face Osage. The Cards will then host Rockford on Thursday and Forest City on Friday before traveling to Algona on Saturday for more tournament play. Box scores from last week’s games follow.

Eight letterwinners return to play baseball for the Panthers

The CWL baseball team returns eight letterwinners from last year’s roster along with four new faces to compile a small, but determined team of twelve. The Panthers were unable to pick up a win last summer, but that doesn’t mean they did not come close and will only use that as motivation to pick up some victories this season. Coach Ryan Wagner will begin his seventh season at the helm of the program and he noted that the team’s number one goal is to be competitive every night out and win some games. “We had a couple of chances last year to get in the win column and we would have one bad inning of fielding. They need to realize if we can make some of the routine plays we would improve tremendously.� The Panthers welcome back letterwinners Randy Cram, senor pitcher/short stop/third baseman; Josh Hilbert, senior third baseman and pitcher; Johnny Studer, senior center fielder and pitcher; Esden Carroll, sophomore shortstop and pitcher; John Genrich, sophomore outfielder; Tyson Halsrud, freshman outfielder; Darek Garman, freshman catcher; and Alex McGregor, freshman second baseman. The team welcomes Andy Hauswirth a senior first baseman and pitcher along with eighth graders Blake Teepe (outfield), Gavyn Gronbach (second base) and Dawson Anderson (second base). “We have had a slow start to practices due to the weather, but they have been working hard the couple days we have been outside,� noted Coach Wagner. “They have come a long ways I think since last May and the comments that some of the kids have made about thins are good. If we can get a win or two early and be competitive I think this group could do some good things in our last baseball season here at CWL.� Coach also noted that with only 12 on the roster it is important for his players to stay healthy. The team looks to North Union, HLP and WBM to be top conference competition this year. Due to weather postponements and cancellations the Panthers will kick off their season this week. CWL traveled to West Bend Mallard on Monday and then to Northwood on Tuesday. They will wrap up their week Thursday against CAL at home.

CWL softball kicks off with three returning letterwinners The CWL softball team will return three letterwinners to this years roster along with five returning key varsity players and five up and coming teammates. Jim Fisher, who is entering his seventh season at the helm of the program, and assisted by Kristy Riggert coaches the Panthers. The Panthers were unable to pick up a win a year ago, but that doesn’t mean the team isn’t ready to change that this season. Liz Carlton, catcher; Shali Nygaard, second baseman/pitcher; and Sadie Poldervaart, pitcher/first baseman all return for their senior season as letterwinners for the Panthers. They are joined by junior catcher Steph Nielsen, sophomore catcher/ second baseman/right fielder Jordan Nygaard, and freshmen Marilou McPeak (second/rightfield) and Gabbi Tiili (pitcher/first/second). Coach Fisher noted that they are very young and will need everyone to learn as they go. Fisher pegged North Union and West Bend as the top conference competition this year. The Panthers opened their season last Thursday against Clarion-Goldfield. CWL fell to Clarion 3-12.

Sadie Poldervaart pitched six innings giving up 12 runs (four earned) on seven hits. Poldervaart struck out five and walked eight. The Pantehrs runs were scored in the first, third and fifth innings, while Clarion scored four int eh second and fourth innings, one in the fifth and three in the sixth. Poldervaart connected for two hits, while Liz Carlton, Gabbi Tilli and Marilou McPeak all had singles. “This was a good game to start the season,� said Coach Fisher. “We have seven new position people so I thought we played well except giving up five runs with two outs on tow different occasions. We can fix errors.� The Panthers headed to Northwood on Friday where they played a short two inning game losing 17-1. CWL scored one run in the first inning to Northwood’s four, but the second inning got away from them quickly after NK drilled out 13 runs to end the game. The Panthers kicked off this week with a double header against West Bend Mallard on the road Monday. CWL then hosted Garner-Hayfield Ventura on Tuesday and will head to Northwood this Saturday.

The remaining letterwinners include sophomores Whitney Burgardt (shortstop), Bailey Eisenman (outfield/third base), Mallory Becker (pitcher), and Nicole Burgardt (utility). “All of our seniors are key varsity players for us this season, as well as our main pitcher Mallory Becker,� noted Coach Shawn Mallen. “Bailey Eisenman will be a starter somewhere for us this year and freshman Cara Francis will be a back up catcher and help us with hitting in our lineup as a DH.� The Eagles compiled a 13-13 record last season and 5-9 in conference play. “It is always our goal to play in the conference championship,� said Mallen. “We believe we can compete for and in the top half of our conference if we can clean up our defense and have consistent strong pitching.� Coach Mallen pegged Osage, Belmond and Newman as top conference competition for the 2013 season.

Cardinals Denied State Soccer Appearance GHV boys’ soccer coach Eric Williams was hoping for a little luck and a little magic last week as his Cardinal boys began Class 1A tournament play. He got both in the Cardinals’ first round victory on Wednesday but GHV’s dream of qualifying for the state tournament fell short on Saturday. Soccer matches don’t get much more exciting than Wednesday’s Cardinal victory over West Sioux. Brad Nedved scored GHV’s first goal of the match early in the first half on a ball that was bouncing around in from of the West Sioux goal. The Cards maintained the 1 – 0 lead through the first half but West Sioux used the wind to their advantage in the second half to tie the score at 1 – 1 and force overtime. Williams saw his team challenged in the first half of overtime. “ West Sioux put a lot of pressure on Nathan Hrubes who was up to the task and stopped everything from going in.� Thirty seconds into the second half of overtime Jimmy Ermer was fouled at mid pitch resulting in a free kick. “Leonard Heurtebize took the free kick,� noted Williams. “With the wind at his back and from mid pitch, Leonard blasted the ball towards the goal where it took a big bounce and went over the goalie’s head and into the net for the win.� The Cardinals recorded eight shots on goal in the match as Brad Nedved recorded three, Alex Van Gerpen and Teddy Zrostlik each added two and Patrick Terhark had one. Ermer, Zrostlik and Nedved were each credited with

two shots in the match while Van Gerpen and Jack Bertilson added one. Nathan Hrubes recorded seven saves on the day as the Cardinal goalie. “Three years into our program we won our first substate game in exciting fashion,� stated Coach Williams. “The match was extremely exciting and was well played by both sides. I couldn’t have asked for more from the student athletes, winning our first post-season game ever.� GHV was hoping to make history in Saturday’s substate final match against MOC Floyd Valley. MOC scored four minutes into the match and continued to put a lot of pressure on the Cardinal defense as the game continued. The Cardinal defense was able to handle MOC’s offense, keeping the score at 1 – 0 until intermission. During the second half with the wind at their backs the Cardinal offense produced several opportunities but were unable to find the back of the net. MOC scored a second goal with 25 minutes remaining in the match to seal the win. Brad Nedved led the Cardinal offense with two shots on goal while Teddy Zrostlik recorded one. Blake Johnson, Aaron Boehnke, Nedved and Zrostlik were all credited with one shot apiece. Goalie Nathan Hrubes finished the match with five saves. “Overall I’m so proud of our team for competing so hard this season,� remarked Coach Williams. “To make it to the final 16 in the state for Class 1A during our third season I believe is

GHV Goal keeper, Nathan Hrubes, makes a save during the Cards 2-1 OT win over West Sioux. a huge milestone. We are really going to miss seniors Brad Nedved, Alex Van Gerpen, Nathan Hrubes and Leonard Heurtebize but we have some great underclassman that will step up and fill the roles nicely. Things are looking very strong for the GHV soccer program. I want to thank the seniors for playing hard every match and setting a high standard of what it means to be a student athlete for the GHV soccer team. There isn’t anything more that I would have asked them to do differently.� Williams noted that Brad Nedved is in the history books for the most goals

of any athlete in soccer. Nathan Hrubes holds the record with the most wins and saves of any goalie. “This season has had its challenges but when we were at full strength we played extremely competitive,� stated Williams. “When we had all of our players and were not sharing with track, or trap shooting we were 3-2, losing in overtime to Humboldt and then today against MOC Floyd Valley. What an amazing accomplishment for a young program. In the years ahead we will be expecting great things and seeing great results.�

Heartbreaking Losses in GHV Girls’ Soccer Garner-Hayfield/Ventura completed the regular season in girls’ soccer action last week with a pair of onegoal losses. On Monday the Cards dropped a 3 – 2 decision in overtime at Webster City before suffering a loss at home to Mason City by the same score on Tuesday. Monday’s match at Webster City couldn’t have been more exciting. Emily Spilman scored GHV’s first goal of the night just over 23 minutes into the match after a nice assist by Renae Lau. Spilman scored her second goal of the night eight minutes into the second half, this time courtesy of a Tiara Van Gerpen assist. Webster City managed to score a pair of goals during regulation, forcing overtime. The game remained tied throughout the overtime period resulting in a shootout. The Lynx were able to score the gamewinning goal in the shootout to seal the victory. Spilman finished the evening leading GHV offensively with eight shots on goal. Mackenzie Haag added six shots on goal while Bri Bier was credited with three. Goalie Sam Betz recorded a total of nine saves in the match. Cardinal coach Josh Banse commented, “This loss was a heart breaker, but I am proud of how our girls kept their heads up and left it all on the field. Having Maddie Tusha and Tiara Van Gerpen back full time really adds a different dynamic

to our team. All of the girls are playing very well together. All of these games lead up to May 28th when we take on Gladbrooke-Reinbeck in regionals. I know we will open many eyes on that night.� Tuesday’s home match against Mason City featured two evenly matched teams. The Mohawks gained the early advantage with a goal at 12:55 into the first half. Ninety seconds later Payton Bamrick tied the score with a goal for the Cardinals. The Mohawks then scored later in the first half to take a 2 – 1 lead into intermission. Each team added a goal to their total in the second half resulting in a 3 – 2 victory for Mason City. Bri Bier scored GHV’s second goal of the match thanks to a nice assist by Emily Spilman. Bier finished the night with three shots on goal while Spilman had a pair of shots on goal. On the defensive end of the field Samantha Betz had a good night at the goalie spot, recording 15 saves in the match. “Losing back to back games like this is tough, especially by only one goal late in both games,� noted Banse. “Most teams would be way down after a week like this but this team is not. They are still ready to go and give Gladbrooke/Reinbeck a fight.� The Cardinals will begin regional tournament play on Tuesday with a match at Gladbrooke-Reinbeck.

I cannot be happier with the progress that our girls have made this year. Our future is bright considering the quality of our returning girls.� Banse was also grateful to the efforts of the seniors on the team. Jesslyn Prohaska, Bethany Nannenga, Kelly Babcock, Renae Lau and Sarah Marmaro participated in the final game wearing a Cardinal uniform. “These girls have been great leaders this year and they will be missed.�

A great deal of improvement was shown on the Garner-Hayfield/ Ventura girls’ soccer team this season but it wasn’t enough to overcome a first round regional matchup against a highly-rated opponent. On Tuesday, the Cardinals traveled to Gladbrooke-Reinbeck for Class 1A tournament play where the Rebels cruised to a 10 – 0 victory over GHV. It was a tough night on the offensive end for the Cards as GHV managed only four shots on goal in the match. Bri Bier and Emily Spilman each had a pair of shots while Sam Betz recorded 14 saves for the Car-

Parents Can Help Preteens with Abduction Concerns Council approves budget amendments taches to the city’s skid loader, to pick up tree limbs and brush. The bucket worked very well and saved several days of labor, according to Randy Lansing, city administrator. The council approved the Board of Adjustment’s decision to rescind the off-street parking requirement for Tami Eastman’s salon business at 155 west 13th Street. Eastman has decided she will be the only operator at the salon, eliminating the need for the extra off-street parking, according to Lansing. If Eastman decides to bring in more operators into the business in the future, she will have to bring her request before the Board of Adjustment again. In other matters, a pay request for $150,575.52 to Municipal Pipe Tool Company was approved. The payment was in connection to the recent sanitary sewer slip-lining project. Parks and recreation department instructor/coaching contracts for the summer were approved for the following persons: Megan Waddingham (5th-6th grade softball), Alicia Savoy (7th grade softball), Bethany Nannenga (head soccer coach, GHV color guard coach), Andrea Hughes (3rd-4th and 5th-6th grade softball), Jasmine Doble (7th grade softball) and Kristin Stromer (5th-6th grade softball). Other discussion included the proliferation of cats running loose in town.

Supervisors okay permit application for Hawkeye Pride By Rebecca Peter Hancock County Board of Supervisors approved the permit application for construction of five new poultry layer chicken facilities for Hawkeye Pride Egg Farms near Corwith. A public hearing for permit was held Tuesday, May 28. The site in Section 21 of Magor Township was originally zoned in 2009 for ten buildings, however, only five were constructed before the permit expired earlier this year. Andy Buffington, zoning administrator for Hancock County, reviewed master matrix requirements and recommended approval. Buffington indicated that a site visit was done and nothing has changed from the original permit requirements.

The application recommendation will be forwarded to the Department of Natural Resources. In other business, supervisors approved the following: •Certification of drainage district levies for collection with fall taxes in 2013. •Amended an article to the personnel policy pertaining to employee health insurance coverage. •Signed confirmation of a Medicare Secondary Payor addendum for Wellmark. •Signed the contract with Rognes Bros. Excavating, Lake Mills, for an open ditch clean out of Drainage Ditch District No. 13, Lateral 7. The contract amount was for $62,500.

from eXtension.org/parenting: • Give hugs and reassurance as you talk to your child about the frightening experience. • Avoid frightening media stories that might be upsetting to some children. • Point out ways your child has learned to stay safe, such as saying “noâ€? and running away when they are concerned about a situation. Rader encourages parents to watch their children closely for signs of anxiousness. Being open to talk about those feelings while developing safety strategies can help children feel in control of situations. They can learn to make good choices when faced with possible unsafe circumstances, while still enjoying some of the carefree aspects of childhood. “Be open to how your child might be feeling and talk with him or her with sincerity and honesty,â€? Rader said. This is an opportunity to discuss any number of issues with teens

and preteens — from not putting themselves in particularly dangerous situations to how to react when they sense they might be in potential danger, Rader said. “This is a teachable moment, so use it! But doing so in a calm, reassuring manner will help your point come across more clearly without raising unhealthy fears in young people,â€? the ISU Extension specialist said. The following signs are normal reactions to severe stress, Rader said. However, if one or more of the signs continue for more than a week, seek outside help. • Depression — Signs include sleep pattern changes such as difficulty falling asleep, frequently waking in the night or too early in the morning, continual sleeping; personal care changes such as skipping baths and shampoos; physical or mental changes such as overeating or under eating, feeling numb or continually tired, losing the ability to concentrate or crying constantly.

• Parenting problems, such as the inability to cope and give needed attention to children • Behavioral problems, such as children acting up frequently or getting into trouble with authorities • Isolation — not having anyone to talk with • Inability to face reality — not wanting to admit how serious the problems really are or to begin work on them “Help is available,â€? Rader said. “You don’t have to face these problems alone. If you note any signs of anxiousness or depression in your child or your self, talk with a mental health professional, your family doctor or clergy. These people can provide extra support when you need it.â€? Iowans can call the ISU Extension and Outreach Iowa Concern Hotline, 800-447-1985, for help and referrals for dealing with stress, crisis and loss.

While the year and a half drought has received significant media coverage since it began; the fact the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) has been unavailable since October 1, 2012, has remained relatively unknown. CRP is a voluntary program that provides an annual rental payment to farmers and landowners in exchange for them to “set aside� environmentally sensitive and often difficult to farm acres. These areas are then planted to vegetation that will stabilize the soil, help protect water quality, and provide important wildlife habitat. In this time of record farm profits, more and more sensitive land is going into row crop production. This is resulting in dramatically increased amounts of soil erosion, increased amounts of soil and farm pollutants entering our public waters, and alarming decreases in populations of

wildlife dependent on these grassland acres. It is not only huntable wildlife like the ring-neck pheasant and bobwhite quail that are on the decline. Unfortunately, iconic grassland birds like the Dicksissel, Meadowlark, and Bobolink are also suffering the consequences of the loss of millions of acres of CRP in the last five years. Fortunately, there is a silver lining! USDA is again accepting applications for all CRP and the drought that has been plaguing the Midwest appears to be waning. General CRP signup 45 is currently underway and will conclude on June 14th. Another exciting bit of news is that the CRP rental payments have been updated and have risen significantly to be more attractive to potential participants. CRP rental rates of $250$300/acre are now possible with certain CRP practices in certain lo-

cations. Also, some CRP practices are also eligible for a onetime bonus $100/acre - $150/acre signup incentive payment and up to 90% cost share for eligible costs associated with initially establishing their new CRP. This return of wetter weather has been bittersweet to local farmers who are both worried about restoring subsoil moisture and now trying to get all of their crops planted. Wetland basins that have been dry the last couple of years due to the drought are once again temporarily ponding with water. Fortunately with the return of CRP, landowners and producers in this situation have another option through the Farmable Wetland Program (FWP). Signup up for this CRP practice can be an attractive alternative to the expense of tiling and the risk of violating USDA wetland compliance regula-

tions. Additionally, the heavy rains also caused many gullies which can potentially be repaired and seeded down with the Grass Waterway CRP practice. Anyone interested in learning more about CRP and how it can complement their farming operation and provide soil, water, and wildlife benefits at the same time is encouraged to contact their nearest Private Lands Wildlife Biologist. Josh Divan, Farm Bill Wildlife Biologist with Pheasants Forever, is the contact for North Central Iowa. To schedule a farm visit and discuss your property, please call Josh at 641-750-6525 or send an email to jdivan@pheasantsforever.org. You can also contact your local USDA Service Center for more information about available programs.

Yard and Garden: Selecting Fruit Varieties AMES, Iowa — What fruit varieties will perform well in Iowa? Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach answer questions about selecting plum, pear, cherry and peach varieties. What are some good plum varieties for Iowa? Cold hardiness is an important factor when selecting plum varieties (cultivars) for home gardens. Japanese plums are not reliably cold hardy in Iowa. However, several European and hybrid plum

Ricke named to Grand View dean’s list Des Moines, IA – Rachel Ricke of Garner, was recognized for outstanding academic achievement as a Grand View University student for the 2013 spring semester. The students are named to the Dean’s List for earning a grade point average of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 scale while carrying at least 12 hours of classes. MEMORIAL DAY from page 1 departed veterans by Gerald Edgar. Girls State delegates Maddie Tusha and Emily Brown led the Pledge of Allegiance. The VFW and American Legion Auxiliaries, and the Garner Girl Scouts presented floral tributes. The Ventura/Garner-Hayfield Jr. High Band, under the direction of Nate Benzing, provided music. HEURTEBIZE from page 1 Memorial Day Services on May 27. He especially liked the dedication of flags to veterans. Heurtebize has a word of advice to young people contemplating studying abroad. “Don’t be shy or afraid to try new things. Try to take as many opportunities as you can,� he said. “Listen to everyone and their point of view. Then with all the information, make your own judgment.� Leonard thanks his Garner host families for their hospitality. “Also the Rotary for giving me the opportunity to spend this year here and taking care of me, and all the people I met at school and my friends, for making this year such an awesome experience.�

cultivars can be successfully grown in the state. European plum cultivars that perform well in Iowa include ‘Mount Royal,’ ‘Stanley’ and ‘Damson.’ ‘Mount Royal’ produces small fruit with bluish black skin and greenish yellow flesh. ‘Mount Royal’ can be grown throughout Iowa. ‘Stanley’ (dark blue skin, greenish yellow flesh) and ‘Damson’ (blue skin, yellow flesh) are not reliably cold hardy in northern Iowa, but can be successfully grown in the southern two-thirds of the state. Several hybrid plum cultivars (introduced by the University of Minnesota) possess excellent cold hardiness and can be successfully grown throughout the state. Hybrid plums include ‘Alderman’ (burgundy red skin, yellow flesh), ‘Pipestone’ (red skin, golden yellow flesh), ‘Superior’ (red skin, yellow flesh), and ‘Underwood’ (dull red skin, yellow flesh). European plums are self-fruitful. A single tree will bear fruit. Hybrid plums are self-unfruitful. Two or more hybrid plum cultivars must be planted to ensure cross-pollination and fruit set. ‘Toka’ is an excellent pollinator for ‘Alderman,’ ‘Superior,’ ‘Underwood’ and other hybrid plums. What are some good pear varieties for Iowa? Pear varieties (cultivars) that perform well in Iowa include ‘Summercrisp’ (University of Minnesota introduction, large fruit, matures early August), ‘Moonglow’ (introduced by USDA, medium to large fruit, matures mid-August), ‘Bartlett’ (large fruit, matures late

August, susceptible to fireblight), ‘Luscious’ (developed at South Dakota State University, medium-sized fruit, matures mid-September), ‘Patten’ (originated in Iowa, large fruit, matures mid-September) and ‘Seckel’ (sometimes called Sugar Pear, small fruit, matures mid-September). ‘Moonglow’ and ‘Bartlett’ are not reliably cold hardy in northern Iowa. They should be planted only in central and southern portions of the state. All of the other aforementioned pear cultivars can be successfully grown throughout Iowa. Which sour (tart) cherry varieties perform well in Iowa? ‘Northstar’ and ‘Meteor’ are two of the best performing sour cherry varieties (cultivars) in Iowa. Both cultivars were introduced by the University of Minnesota and possess excellent cold hardiness. ‘Northstar’ is a dwarf tree that commonly grows 8 to 10 feet tall. Its fruit have a mahogany red skin, red flesh, and are 3/4 inch in diameter. ‘Meteor’ is a semi-dwarf tree. Trees may eventually reach a height of 10 to 14 feet. The fruit of ‘Meteor’ are slightly larger than ‘Northstar’ and have a bright red skin and yellow flesh. Another possibility is ‘Mesabi,’ a cross between a sweet and tart cherry. Its red-fleshed fruit are sweeter than ‘Northstar’ and ‘Meteor.’ Can sweet cherries be successfully grown in Iowa? ‘Gold,’ BlackGold™, and WhiteGold™ are sweet cherry varieties (cultivars) that can be successfully grown

in the southern two-thirds of Iowa. ‘Gold’ has golden yellow skin. It is self-unfruitful. Another late blooming sweet cherry cultivar must be planted for pollination and fruit set. BlackGold™ and WhiteGold™ are self-fruitful, mid to late blooming cultivars from Cornell University in New York. BlackGold™ has dark red skin, while WhiteGold™ is light yellow with a reddish blush. Other possibilities for southeastern Iowa include ‘Hedelfingen’ (self-unfruitful, red fruit), ‘Kristin’ (self-unfruitful, purplish black fruit), ‘Sam’ (selfunfruitful, dark red fruit) and ‘Van’ (self-unfruitful, reddish black fruit). Are there any peach varieties that can be successfully grown in Iowa? Peaches are not reliably cold hardy in most parts of Iowa. It is possible to grow ‘Reliance’ (yellow flesh, freestone) and ‘Polly’ (white flesh, clingstone) in the southern one-third of Iowa. Growing peaches in Iowa is challenging. Cold winter temperatures may destroy the flower buds on peach trees. A late frost or freeze in spring can damage or destroy the flowers. As a result, peach trees often bear few, if any, fruit. Gardeners in southern Iowa can anticipate a good crop about once every three or four years. Peaches also are short-lived in Iowa, often dying within eight to 10 years. To have additional questions answered, contact Hortline at hortline@iastate.edu or 515-294-3108.

By Rebecca Peter The Garner City Council approved various fiscal year-end amendments to the city budget for the year ending June 30, 2013. No objections or comments were heard at the hearing held May 28. Included in the list of amendments were various capital and public works projects, public safety, equipment repairs and purchases, among other expenditures and transfers. The program amendments were due to increased operating and project costs. The increases will be paid through grant funding, use of fund reserves, bond proceeds or transfers from other funds. The council accepted the low bid of $8,350 Hunt’s Electric, Britt, to change the existing lighting in the city’s public works garage to energy-efficient T-5 high-bay linear fluorescent light fixtures. Alliant Energy conducted an energy audit of the building and recommended the change. The work is to be completed by Sept. 15. Clabaugh Electric, Klemme, also submitted a bid for consideration. The city purchased grapple bucket for curbside pickup of brush and tree limbs from Jess Pringnitz of Big J. Sales, Garner. Pringnitz’s bid of $2,675 was the low of two bids submitted to the council. The city also received a bid from Keith Larson Sales of Ventura. The street department recently rented a grapple bucket, which at-

AMES, Iowa – Parents naturally are concerned for their children’s safety, particularly when there is news of a child abduction that happens close to home. Finding the balance between emotions and the “teachable moment� as parents talk to their children is important, an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach specialist says. According to Malisa Rader, an ISU Extension family life program specialist, preteens and older school-age children might be dealing with their own fears based upon what they are seeing on TV or hearing from others. “It is important at this time that parents react with a sense of calm and reassurance,� Rader said. Parents can take this opportunity to share with their children important information to help avoid potentially dangerous situations, but need to approach it in a manner that doesn’t create unhealthy fears in children. Rader offered some suggestions
