Benefit for Eric Luppen to be held June 23 By Rebecca Peter Like most 10-year-olds, Eric Luppen would rather be outdoors enjoying summertime activities with friends and family. The son of Al and Linda Luppen, rural Garner, Eric is dealing with severe scoliosis (curvature of the spine). Eric is scheduled to have spinal fusion surgery on July 15. The surgery will involve metallic implants (rods) to help correct some of the curvature of his spine. A bone graft will also be done at this time to fuse the vertebrae together permanently. Eric was diagnosed with early on-set scoliosis at age 4. “At the beginning we pursued bracing and through the years other therapies,� said Linda Luppen. “They would work for a while and then they wouldn’t. We wanted to keep him off the surgical table as long as we could because of the impact of surgery.� Linda attributes part of the problem to Eric’s growth spurts. “That’s why it’s so hard to keep a rein on it,� she said. “Bracing didn’t help. It’s hard to brace a curve that’s up in between the shoulder blades.� Al and Linda have been working with Shriners Hospital for Children in Minneapolis. In February, the curvature of his spine had progressed to 114 degrees. It was determined surgery is the best alternative to lessen the risk of complications to Eric’s lungs and heart. “One thing with his scoliosis, is so severe he would get tired quickly. He would get winded,� Linda said. Eric has to spend 23 hours as day in halo traction. His bed has also been modified to accommodate the traction. The halo traction is necessary in order help reduce the curvature prior to surgery. “This is strictly to straighten him up,� Linda explained. “Because his scoliosis is so severe, they wanted to get his curve down to around the 70s so the surgery wouldn’t be so severe.� The traction appears to be working. The curvature in Eric’s spine was down to 73 degrees. The surgery will take place at the University of Minnesota Hospital in Minneapolis. Eric will be in the hospi-

Eric Luppen (center) will undergo surgery on July 15 to help correct severe, early on-set scoliosis. In preparation for the surgery, Eric is in traction to help lessen the curvature of his spine. He enjoys playing Wii games with his brother, Ethan, Nick Davis and Austin Mohlis, and sister, Alyssa. (Leader photo by Rebecca Peter) tal about a week following the surgery. If all goes as expected, recovery will take about three months. Eric will be a 6th grader at GarnerHayfield. His favorite subjects are math, spelling, science and social studies. He attended school until this past April. He finished up the school year by doing his homework at home. “The teachers were very helpful,� Linda said. Being confined to the house a majority of the time, however, is frustrating for a boy who would rather be doing the things active 10-year-olds normally do. “He has a hard time being in it when the weather is nice,� said Linda. “Surgery’s a big deal, but you almost look forward to it so he can get on with life.�

To pass the time, Eric likes to play Wii and computer games and looks forward to visits from his friends, Kaiden Lackore and Nick Davis. What is Eric looking forward to once his recovery is complete? “Ride the ATV,� he responds without hesitation. Al and Linda also look forward to the opportunity for their son to have a normal life. “I am thankful for the miracle of modern medicine,� said Linda. “There’s still a lot of research yet to be done. It’s hard to do with scoliosis because every kid is different and every one has different circumstances.� Luppen said since Eric is basically otherwise healthy, he is part of study on

how doctors treat sever scoliosis. Eric says when he gets older he would like to do what his Dad does (testing high-flow gas meters). (CEESI) The public is invited to a benefit for Eric on Sunday, June 23, at the USDA Building in Garner. The benefit will offer a pulled pork lunch, served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (free will donation), bake sale, a silent auction (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.), and a homemade pie auction and live auction beginning at 1 p.m. The benefit is hosted by members of St. Paul Lutheran Church with additional funding by Hancock County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

Klemme council okays Ag Day plans KLEMME - Street closures pertaining to the 2013 Ag Day celebration at Klemme were approved by the city council, June 3. The celebration is Saturday, June 15. The council approved a request from Ken Weiland, Ag Days committee chairman, to close the four streets around the park, and Main Street from the southeast corner of the park to the west edge of city hall from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for activities and parade. Hancock Street in front of the fire station will also be closed. The council approved a Special Occasion Outdoor Liquor Permit for the Shamrock Restaurant & Lounge for the Friday before Ag Day. City officials also approved special event beer permits for Klemme Fire Department for their annual fund-raiser during the celebration. Quasquicentenial Leftover items and memorabilia from Klemme’s 1989 centennial at City Hall will be donated to the Quasquicentennial Committee to sell.

Klemme will celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2014. The next planning meeting is Thursday, June 20, 7 p.m. at city hall. Everyone is welcome to attend. Award Bid On a 3-1 vote, the city council approved the purchase of an end loader from Zeigler Caterpiller, Mason City. Councilmen voting in favor were Dave Abele, Leland Hummel and Maurice Crotty. Council member Roberta Carolus cast the dissenting vote. Ken Weiland, public works director, reported on asphalt work being done in town. Weiland is working on getting price quotes for tree removal. In other business: •The council learned Iowa Codefication has completed the initial phase of updates to city ordinances. •City hall will be closed July 4 and 5 for the holiday. The next council meeting will be 6:30 p.m., July 1. •A property owner on Jerusalem Street will be contacted about having noxious weeds sprayed.

Goodell searches for lagoon site GOODELL - The City Goodell will have to continue a search for a site on which to construct a lagoon. At the June 3 council meeting, Mayor Ryan Halfpop received a letter from the USDA-Rural Development concerning the delineator’s response to the land west of Goodell that was under consideration for the lagoon site. The land was not approved for the second time. The council approved a pay raise for city clerk/treasurer Dixie Revland. Revland has been doing the monthly water and garbage billing for almost two years without further compensation. She previously had done it on a quarterly basis. The

council unanimously voted to increase her salary by $50 to $550 per month. Thirty-five dollars of that amount is based upon the last two years of doing monthly bills and all future monthly billing and $15 is a 3% increase in overall wages combined to make a $50 a month pay increase. This is first raise in salary in three years for the city clerk. Tom Bonjour, a member of the Goodell Betterment Board, informed council members of a poker run to benefit Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines. The event was held Saturday, June 8. The Goodell Fire Department will

be having the pork loin supper sometime during the latter part of June, according to Alan Pralle, fire chief. Details will be published later this month. In other business, the council met with Gene Christenson of Jasperson Insurance. After some discussion the council accepted the bid of $11,098 from Continental Western Insurance as opposed to the bid of $12,223 from Employee Mutual Company. Volunteers have improved the burn pile site on 4th Street and the balance of the debris will be disposed of as soon as possible.

Yard and Garden: All about Irises AMES, Iowa — Available in nearly every color, bearded iris is a beautiful spring flower. My bearded irises are no longer blooming well. Why? The bearded irises may need to be divided. Bearded irises should be divided every three to five years, as the plants quickly become overcrowded and don’t bloom well. July or August is the best time to dig, divide and transplant bearded irises. Lack of sunlight could be another possibility. Bearded irises bloom best in full sun (plants need at least six hours of direct sun per day for best flowering). Plants in partial shade may not bloom well and should be transplanted to a sunny site. When and how do you divide bearded irises? While bearded irises are easy-to-grow perennials, they need to be divided every three to five years. If not divided, plants become overcrowded and flower production decreases. Crowded plants are also more prone to disease problems. In Iowa, July or August is the best time to dig, divide and transplant bearded irises. Bearded irises grow from thick, underground stems called rhizomes. Carefully dig up the iris clumps with a spade. Cut back the leaves to onethird their original height. Wash the soil from the rhizomes and roots with a steady stream of water. Then cut the rhizomes apart with a sharp knife. Each division should have a fan of leaves, a healthy rhizome and several large roots. Discard all diseased or insect damaged rhizomes. Bearded irises perform best in fertile, well-drained soils and full sun. In clay soils, incorporate compost,

sphagnum peat moss or well-rotted barnyard manure into the soil prior to planting. When planting bearded irises, dig a hole large enough to accommodate the rhizome and roots. Build a mound in the center of the hole. Place a rhizome on top of the mound and spread the roots in the surrounding trench. Then cover with soil. When planted, the rhizome should be just below the soil surface. Finally, water each plant thoroughly. To obtain a good flower display, plant at least three rhizomes of one variety in a group. Space the rhizomes 12 to 24 inches apart. How can I control the iris borer? The iris borer is a serious pest of bearded irises. The mature stage of the iris borer is a grayish moth. Female moths lay eggs on iris foliage and other nearby plants in late summer/early fall. The eggs hatch the following spring. The small larvae (caterpillars) bore their way into the iris foliage and feed on leaf tissue. Over time, the larvae tunnel down through the leaves and into the rhizomes. The caterpillars continue to feed inside the rhizomes and eventually destroy much of it. When fully grown, the larvae move into the soil and pupate. Adults (moths) emerge in late summer. Bacterial soft rot often invades rhizomes damaged by iris borers. Rhizomes infected with bacterial soft rot become soft and foul-smelling. Iris borers can be controlled by sanitation and the timely application of insecticides. Remove and destroy dead iris foliage in late fall or early spring. This will eliminate many of the iris borer eggs. An insecticide

should be applied in spring when the new shoots are 4 to 6 inches tall. An application of an insecticide at this time should destroy small iris borer larvae before they have the opportunity to bore into the iris foliage. Products that contain carbaryl, permethrin, acephate or spinosad should be effective. As always, carefully read and follow label directions when using pesticides. Gardeners with questions about irises and other garden plants may contact horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach at Hortline, hortline@iastate. edu or 515-294-3108.

By John Howe Make no mistake. What a person does with Jesus has eternal consequences. We can choose to ignore Him, as most do. Or we can choose to investigate Him. And our search to find Him, as C.S. Lewis summarizes in Mere Christianity, leads us to conclude He is either a lunatic (thinks he is God), liar (knows he is not God but tells everyone he is), or Lord (He is God). A blind man from birth in John 9 and 10 experienced Jesus as many did when he walked with us. This unlearned beggar met this man Jesus, and Jesus changed his life. What followed the miracle of sight was a lengthy conversation with Pharisees and Jewish leaders, the most knowledgeable of the Jewish faith. No one could dispu8te the man miraculously received his sight even though the Pharisees and leaders tried. They interrogated him twice. But in the end, the discussion finally centered around, “who is this guy, Jesus?” It is the same question we are challenged with today. Each of us chooses to seek the answer to “who is this guy?” or ignore Him. The Pharisees and Jewish leaders chose to believe Jesus was not from God, believed Jesus was a sinner, argued over where he came from, and concluded Jesus was a lunatic. But does a lunatic heal the blind? A luna-

tic might lie that he is God, but does a liar heal the sick, and raise the dead? Jesus tells them they were spiritually blind (John 9:39-41). These Jewish leaders chose not to seek the truth following a miracle they and so many other people witnessed. Their authority was threatened by this Jesus guy, and they wanted him dead! But this formerly hopeless blind man came to a completely different conclusion, as did many who knew him, than the Pharisees and Jewish leaders did. He worshipped Jesus, not a lunatic, not a liar, but as Lord! Jesus will open anyone’s eyes who want them opened. It does not take a theologian or Bible scholar to become a believer in Jesus Christ. Recognizing our need for a Savior, taking the initiative to seek Him with an open heart, and then admitting our need for Jesus, the Savior of the world, will, like the blind man, lead us to worship Him. Consider this a challenge! Seek the truth of who Jesus is – a lunatic, liar, or the Lord God, who gave Himself as a sacrifice for our sins and raised Himself from the dead to “bring us back to God” (1Peter 3:18). What we choose to believe does have eternal consequences. Join us for worship at the New Life Ministry Center on Hwy. 18 in Garner, 10 a.m. Sundays, and find out more about Jesus and why we worship Him!

Lunatic, Liar, or Lord!

Hits and Misses of the TV Season Well summer is here, which means one thing. It’s time to catch up on some reading now that the regular television season is over! What, did you think I was going to suggest going outside? Anyway, with the TV getting a break after another season of shows, let’s go over some of the new contenders that hit the airwaves and see how they did. 666 Park Avenue I wanted to give this “haunting of the week” series a shot but only made it through a couple episodes before giving up. The concept, while by no means original, wasn’t too bad, but there just wasn’t enough there to justify coming back week after week. I clearly wasn’t the only one who thought so either. The show was canceled after just a couple months. Arrow The Year of the Archer ended with a brand new show for comic book geeks to enjoy. Surprisingly not a spin-off of “Smallville,” which featured the same character for years, “Arrow” establishes a new take on the D.C. Universe. One of the most interesting things about the show is how they answered the question of “How does a superhero maintain the usual no-killing code when his primary weapon is designed to put holes in people?” The answer, oddly enough, is “He doesn’t.” “Arrow” does a decent job of throwing away conventional superhero tropes in favor of a more grounded setting, but the occasional cyborg-assassin or earthquake machine is always there to remind the viewer of the show’s roots.

Defiance Joss Whedon’s “Firefly” may be no more, but its spirit lives on in “Defiance,” a similarly styled sci-fi/ western. A bit too ambitious for its budget, “Defiance” has still managed to create an interesting universe populated with compelling, if not entirely original, characters. I may not be inclined to give it such high praise if there were more alternative options, but sci-fi television isn’t that easy to come by these days and beggars can’t be choosers. Hannibal Bryan Fuller, never stop doing what you’re doing. The mind behind “Dead Like Me,” “Wonderfalls,” and “Pushing Daisies,” has now reinvented fiction’s most famous cannibal killer. The show only just started in April, but it comes in under the wire as one of the most compelling new series of the season. Definitely not for the faint of heart, the show pulls no punches when it comes to its gory content so viewer beware. That said, when it comes to psychological thrillers, “Hannibal” is at the top of the list right now. Last Resort I thought this show about a rogue nuclear submarine trapped on the brink of World War III would either go very bad or very good. As it turns out, it just seemed to tread water. It wasn’t offensively bad, but it never quite lived up to its full potential ei-

ther. Its merciful cancelation did give the show enough time to wrap things up in a fairly satisfying manner. Not bad if you consider it as a 13-episode mini-series. Revolution In spite of the goofy premise, I was willing to give J.J. Abrams’ “Revolution” the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, the handful of interesting characters in the show just weren’t enough to overlook its flaws and bring me back after its mid-season hiatus. The show’s been picked up for a second season, so maybe I’ll give it another chance down the road. After all, I gave up on “Fringe” early on and turned out to be wrong about that. Speaking of which, I hear “Elementary” turned out to be pretty good as well. Maybe I’ll give that a try after all. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and has finally come to terms with the fact that “Firefly” won’t be coming back… so let’s get “Firefly: The Next Generation” going already!

be quite as apparent with facial expressions. Botox is injected into the muscles in small amounts with thin, fine needles. Discomfort is minimal and brief with treatment and you can choose to have the area numbed before treatment with a cold pack to further reduce discomfort. The injections are often painless. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes with no “downtime” afterward. Results will be noticeable within a few days and the results may last up to 3-4 months. Botox results are temporary and regular injections can be part of your treatment plan. It is important to first have a comprehensive consultation with a trained healthcare provider to determine if Botox is right for you. Your provider will help you develop a treatment plan that is right for you and your goals.

QUESTION: What is Botox Cosmetic and is it the right treatment for my wrinkles? 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. Botox Cosmetic is a safe and FDA approved treatment for both men and women for facial wrinkles. Botox works well to reduce and soften the fine lines and wrinkles that develop over time between the eyebrows, the forehead and around the corners of the eyes (Crow’s feet). These wrinkles often give us the appearance of “scowling”, being tired and aging. Botox works by blocking the nerve impulses to the injected muscles, which reduces the amount of muscle movement that cause wrinkles to form over time. Botox specifically blocks the release of acetylcholine which triggers the muscle contractions that cause wrinkles. You will still be able to make facial expressions however the wrinkles will not

Registration for 4-H Robotics Challenge Now Open

The City of Britt hired M&M Construction during an emergency meeting held last Thursday night. M&M won the bid at $3,574 to tarp the old bank building’s roof, located at 10 Main Ave N. The roof will be tarped along with the removal of sinking air conditioners located on the roof, and secure broken windows in an attempt to seal up the old building and defer further deterioration and damage from the elements. (Leader photo by Sarah Freesemann)

Veterans Memorial Path

The memorial path has been laid at the Britt Veterans Memorial Building on Main. The bricks were sold as a fundraiser for the building and the community is now able to walk the path and view the memorial stones along the way. Landscaping work continues forward on the grounds as weather allows this summer, which will include two more park benches, light poles and a memorial sculpture in the near future.

AMES, Iowa – Youth can register now for the fourth annual Bratney Companies 4-H Robotics Challenge at the 2013 Iowa State Fair. The senior division (grades 9-12) will participate Sunday, Aug. 11, and the junior division (grades 5-8) will participate Monday, Aug. 12. The challenges on both days are from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the 4-H Exhibits Building at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines. Iowa youth will show off their robot designing and programming skills in this “real-time� challenge, said Holly Bignall, 4-H youth program specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Robotics clubs or teams composed of three to 10 youth and up to two adult leaders/ coaches may participate. Registration for the event is open now until June 30. Applications will be reviewed and teams will be notified by July 1 and asked to confirm. At least one member of each team is required to be a member of 4-H. Youth can join 4-H at their county Iowa State University Extension and Outreach office. “A real-time challenge means your team arrives at the event not knowing what the challenges will be. The challenges are then announced at the event and the teams must work together to design a robot to meet each of the challenges. At the end of the working period, teams will enter the Challenge Field and set the robots loose to the cheers of spectators,� Bignall said. Teams will compete in the LEGO MindstormsŽ NXT Challenge where they will design, build and program a robot that can accomplish a specific goal outlined the day of the competition. They will also compete in a surprise junk drawer challenge, which is designed to test engineering and teamwork skills by presenting a novel situation and everyday household materials to work with. Youth teams then must design a robot capable of accomplishing a task using only the materials in the “junk drawer.� For more information visit http:// www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/ StateFair/roboticschallenge.

Cards Fall in Close NIC Baseball Games Garner-Hayfield/Ventura baseball coach Paul Childress knew before the season began that the games between North Iowa Conference teams would be very competitive. GHV’s action in league play seemed to support that thought last week as the Cardinals dropped three very close conference games. The Cards dropped a 4 – 3 decision on Monday at Lake Mills and then came up two runs short in a pitchers’ duel against Osage on Wednesday. GHV then finished the week with another two-run loss, this time to Forest City. After a scoreless first inning at Lake Mills the Cardinals plated two runs in the top of the second to gain an early lead. The Bulldogs answered with three runs in their half of the second and GHV knotted the score at 3 – 3 with a run in the third inning. Lake Mills scored what proved to be the winning run in the fourth inning as neither team

threatened through the final three innings. Braden Meints led the Cardinals at the plate with an RBI on a pair of singles. Heath Hutcheson and Keith Schwickerath each added base hits to the GHV offense while Spencer Shaw and Nathan Hrubes were both credited with an RBI. Zach Buseman went the distance on the mound for the Cardinals, scattering six hits and two walks while fanning four Bulldog batters. The Cardinals returned to their home field on Wednesday looking for their first conference win of the year. Osage scored two runs in the top of the first inning and that proved to be the difference as the Green Devils edged GHV 3 – 1. The Cards had a number of opportunities throughout the game, including putting two runners in scoring position in the bottom of the sixth inning. Each time the Cardinals appeared to be rally-

ing Osage would manage to hold them off. The Cardinal bats produced plenty of offense in the game, finishing the night with eight hits. Keith Schwickerath had a pair of doubles to lead the Cards and Nathan Hrubes chipped in two singles. Also picking up base hits in the game were Spencer Shaw, Heath Hutcheson, Zach Buseman and Jimmy Ermer. Josh Theobald pitched a complete game for GHV, finishing the night with five strikeouts while scattering six hits and three walks. GHV’s non-conference schedule may be one of the toughest in the area and the Cardinals faced one of the state’s top Class 3A teams on Thursday. The Cards traveled to Clear Lake to face the third-ranked Lions in what would prove to be a disappointing night for GHV. The Cardinals gave up one run in the first inning and stayed close until the Lions plated eight runs in the fourth to break the game open. Clear Lake added another run in the fifth to end the game by ten-run rule. Nathan Hrubes led GHV’s five hit attack with three singles while Josh Theobald and Zach Buseman each added a base hit. Derek Lonneman started on the mound for the Cards, giving up eight hits and a walk. Matt Schroeder relieved Lonneman in the fourth inning to finish the game by allowing four hits and five walks. Fans who like seeing offense were treated to a real show in Friday’s game with Forest City. The Indians opened the game with a five-run first inning and GHV answered with two runs in their half of the first to keep the game close. The Indians added a run in the second inning to extend their lead but the Cards came roaring back with three second inning runs, making the score 6 – 5 with plenty of action to follow. The third inning was scoreless, but Forest

City added one run to their total in the fourth. GHV then gained their first lead of the night with three runs in the fourth inning to pull ahead 8 – 7. The scoring wasn’t over yet as the Indians answered with four runs in the fifth inning and two more in the seventh, appearing to have the game iced with a 13 – 8 lead. GHV’s seventh inning rally produced three runs but the Indians escaped with a 13 – 11 victory. Josh Theobald had a big night at the plate for the Cardinals, hitting a double and two singles with three RBIs. Nathan Hrubes added three RBIs on two hits followed by Spencer Shaw and Braden Meints each with a pair of singles. Completing the offense for GHV were Heath Hutcheson and Zach Buseman with base hits. Spencer Shaw gave up 11 hits and three walks with five strikeouts as GHV’s starting pitcher. Heath Hutcheson relieved Shaw in the fifth inning, allowing three hits and two walks with a strikeout. The week’s action puts GHV at 0 – 3 in North Iowa Conference play and 1 – 8 overall. The schedule this week will see the Cards traveling to Belmond on Monday and Algona on Tuesday before hosting North Iowa and West Fork on Wednesday and Thursday. GHV will then finish the week at West Hancock on Friday. Box scores from last week’s games follow.

Cardinals Gain First Softball Win It’s been a very challenging season for Christi Weiser’s Garner-Hayfield/ Ventura softball team. After three weeks of action, the Cardinals were finally able to pick up a win as GHV earned their first victory of the season at the Algona tournament on Saturday. The tournament got off to a rocky start for the Cards as North Union handled GHV in three innings to open the day. The Cardinals recovered later for a 5 – 4 victory over Prairie Valley. GHV’s first game of the day was one that Coach Weiser and the Cards will want to forget. North Union proved to be a very strong team both offensively and defensively, scoring four runs in the first inning and eight in the second while holding GHV to no hits. Brooklyn Ossman started on the mound for the Cards, giving up nine hits and four walks while fanning one. Sydney Childress relieved Ossman in the second inning, getting the only batter she faced to fly out to left field. GHV picked up a much-needed win in their second game of the day with a one-run victory over Prairie Valley. The

Cardinals gained the early lead with two runs in the bottom of the first inning only to see Prairie Valley tie the score in the top of the second inning. The Cards regained control with a run in their half of the second and again Prairie Valley answered to tie the score in the next inning. Just as before, GHV scored a run in the bottom half of the inning to retake the lead and held that advantage until Prairie Valley knotted the score again in the top of the fifth. In what would prove to be the bottom of the final inning, Tiara Van Gerpen led off with a base hit and scored on Grace Tusha’s game-ending double giving GHV the 5 – 4 win. Tusha finished the game with two RBI’s on the fifth inning double along with a first-inning sacrifice fly to lead GHV offensively. Autumn Weaver added an RBI on two singles while Tiara Van Gerpen and Maddie Tusha also connected for a pair of base hits. Mallory Van Oort completed the list of offensive leaders with two RBIs on a base hit. Taylor Reising went the distance on the mound for the Cardinals to earn

the pitching win. Reising tossed a twohitter with three walks and three strikeouts. Coach Weiser has maintained an optimistic outlook in spite of the rough start to the season. The first-year Cardinal coach is seeing improvement and continues to look for positives. “I think we are starting to figure out who we are as a team,� noted Weiser. “The kids are beginning to thrive in their roles. They continue to work hard and learn every game and our win against Prairie Valley was an earned all-around team effort. We are getting positive contributions from not just from one through nine in our lineup but every kid on our bench who is bringing a tremendous energy and attention to detail to every game.� The Cardinals will begin week four of the season hoping to improve on their 1 – 11 record. GHV will travel to Belmond and Algona on Monday and Tuesday followed by Wednesday’s home game against North Iowa. The Cards will return to the road on Friday to face West Hancock.

Cardinal Softball Breaks into Win Column It would be an understatement to say that the Garner-Hayfield/Ventura softball team has endured a challenging season to date. The young Cardinal squad has been knocked around quite a bit this season, but GHV was finally able to pick up a win during tournament action over the weekend. Softball fans were treated to a lot of offense in GHV’s game at Lake Mills on Monday. In their most productive inning of the season, the Cardinals scored six times in the top of the first inning and appeared to be on the way to their first win of the season. Lake Mills had other ideas though, answering with six runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning to make the game interesting. The Bulldogs then added three runs in the second inning to take control, but GHV plated a run in the third to keep the game in doubt. Lake Mills added another three runs in their half of the third to gain some cushion, but the Cardinals rallied again with three runs in the fourth to stay within striking distance. GHV scored again in the fifth, but were shutout in the final two innings while Lake Mills scored an insurance run in the sixth to make the final score 13 – 11. Autumn Weaver had a double and two singles with two RBI’s to lead GHV at the plate. Tiara Van Gerpen added three hits to the offensive effort followed by Maddie Tusha with two hits and two RBIs. Grace Tusha also finished with a pair of singles while Mackenzie Van Gerpen doubled. Com-

looked tough in Wednesday’s game at Garner. After pulling ahead 2 – 0 in the first inning, Osage exploded for a dozen runs in the second inning to put the game away. The Cardinals scored once in their half of the second to avoid the shutout, leading to a 14 – 1 three-inning victory for the Green Devils. GHV finished the game with only three hits with Autumn Weaver’s triple creating the most excitement for Cardinal fans. Tiara Van Gerpen and Maddie Tusha each singled to account for GHV’s remaining hits. Brooklyn Ossman started on the mound for the Cards, giving up five hits and seven walks while fanning three Green Devils. Sydney Childress relieved Ossman in the second inning and gave up three hits and two walks with two strikeouts. GHV had hopes of picking up their first win of the year in a non-conference game against Rockford on Thursday. Those hopes were quickly dashed however as the Warriors scored four runs in the first inning and two more in the second to pull ahead 6 – 1 early in the game. The Cardinals shut out Rockford during the next four innings only to see the Warriors add four insurance runs in the sixth inning on the way to a 10 – 1 victory. GHV had a good night offensively finishing the game with seven hits. Tiara Van Gerpen and Grace Tusha each singled twice to lead the Cards while Maddie Tusha, Mallory Van Oort and Miranda Jackson all added base hits. Taylor Reising started on the mound for GHV, giving up 10 hits and five walks while fanning three. Brooklyn Ossman relieved Reising in the sixth inning, holding Rockford to two hits with a strikeout. Forest City typically fields a talented softball team and the Cardinals were no doubt expecting a challenge on their home field on Friday. The Indians started strong, scoring six runs in the top of the first inning but the Cardinals answered with two runs in their half of the inning. GHV then added another run in the second inning and two more in the third, closing the gap to 6 – 5 and keep the game exciting. Forest City added one run to their lead in the fourth inning and then exploded for seven more in

Hiscocks smashes 3 homers for Eagles Haley Hiscocks launched three homeruns for West Hancock as the Eagles recorded a 2-1 week in conference action. The Eagles opened their week with a 12-2 win over Belmond-Klemme last Monday, before dropping a 7-10 decision to North Iowa on Wednesday. West Hancock rebounded Friday to pick up a win over Mason City Newman 4-2 on the road. Hiscocks hit two centerfield home runs against North Iowa and an additional centerfield bomb against Newman. The senior has nine hits, including one double and one triple and 12 runs batted in to accompany her three homeruns so for this season. Mallory Becker pitched all three games for the Eagles, starting off with a six-inning showing on the mound against Belmond-Klemme. Becker struck out six and walked three Broncos. Multiple hits were earned by Whitney Burgardt (3), Anna Mallen (2), Abby Paca (2), Jessica Gray (2) and Caitlin Wilson (2). Mallen connected for a triple, while doubles went to Burgardt, Gray and Wilson. Mallen crossed home plate three

times for the Eagles, Paca, Gray and Cara Francis twice apiece. Burgardt drove in four runs, Kellie Schmit three and Paca two. “We played a pretty good complete game offensively and defensively,� said Coach Shawn Mallen. “We scored in all but one inning and stranded only four. We gave up too many hits so we have to get better on that end as the season draws on.� 1234567 RHE BK 100100 292 WH 1 1 1 4 0 5 12 14 2 Becker struck out three and walked two against North Iowa, allowing six earned runs in the Eagles 7-10 loss. Hiscock’ two massive homeruns scored a total of five runs for West Hancock. Schmit, Mall and Hiscocks led the Eagles with two hits apiece, including a double from Mallen. “We misplayed two balls in the outfield that cost us four runs, the difference in the game,� pointed Mallen. “We don’t seem to match up with North Iowa very well, our defense needs to be better and we gave up too many hits. We stranded seven and just got not find the holes in their defense.� 1234567 RHE

That was until Hiscocks hit a monster two run homer over the right center fence to take the lead 3-2. The Eagles received an insurance run from Mallen in the top of the final inning with a sac fly from Gray to score Mallen who had reached second on an error and moved to third from a Schmit single. Schmit led at the plate with three hits including a double, Francis connected for two singles. Mallen’s solo hit on the night was good for a double. Mallen crossed the plate twice for the Eagles, Schmit and Hiscocks touched for the two remaining runs. Becker pitched all seven innings striking out five and walking two. “Becker pitched very well keeping their bunters off balance,� noted Mallen. “Our defense was excellent in this game topping if off with a game ending diving catch from Mallen in the bottom of the seventh.

Flooding Impact and Crop Insurance FAQ The frequent rains that have soaked Iowa this year have left many corn and soybean fields unplanted or with flooded areas. Many producers are wondering what options they have under their multiple peril crop insurance (MPCI) policies. Fortunately, more than 90 percent of the insured corn and soybean acres in Iowa are covered by MPCI, which includes replant, delay and prevented planting coverage. Q: What should a producer do if their planted crops are affected by the flooding? A. Notify their crop insurance agent within 72 hours of the loss. If they qualify, the replant option provides a payment reflecting 8 bushels of corn or 3 bushels of soybeans per acre times the projected price of $5.65 per bushel corn and $12.87 per bushel soybeans, respectively. So replant will provide about $45 per acre for corn and over $38 per acre for soybeans in 2013. Q: What if a producer didn’t have their crops planted yet, what are the late planting dates in Iowa? A. May 31 – Final planting date for Corn June 15 – Final planting date for Soybeans in Iowa, the crop insurance “late planting period� for corn begins on June 1. Corn can still be planted after this date, but the insurance guarantee on those acres is reduced by 1 percent per day until they are planted. Corn acres planted after June 25 will receive insurance coverage equal to 60 percent of their original guarantee. Producers should keep accurate re-

cords of planting dates on all remaining acres. The late planting period for soybeans in Iowa is from June 16 through July 10. Beginning June 1, corn producers with unplanted acres have three choices: plant corn as soon as possible with a reduced guarantee, shift to soybeans with full insurance coverage, or apply for prevented planting. Prevented planting acres are insured at 60 percent of their original guarantee. Those acres may have a cover crop established on them or may be left idle (black dirt). Q: Isn’t there a 20-20 rule for coverage? A. Yes, to qualify for an indemnity payment under the replanted, delayed or prevented planting provisions, a minimum area of 20 acres or 20 percent of the insured unit, whichever is smaller, must be affected. A unit could be a field or a farm – if you elected an optional whole farm or basic unit. An enterprise unit could also have been elected. This choice reflects the insured’s corn acres combined in a particular county to determine loss or their soybean acres. Q: I chose enterprise units to save on premium. Can I now change to basic or optional units because flooding has damaged my planted crop acreage? A: Because unit structure impacts the premium cost, and in the case of enterprise units, also the premium subsidy, the policyholder’s decision to elect enterprise units is made no later than the sales closing date to

reflect the binding contractual agreement between the two parties on or before March 15, 2013. Changing the enterprise unit structure would be a contractual violation between the approved insurance providers and the policyholder, and leave the government vulnerable to a breach of contract. Therefore, any change to the contract at this time shifts risk to approved insurance providers from previously negotiated financial commitments within the terms and conditions of the Standard Reinsurance Agreement. Q: If I am physically unable to get to a field for planting am I covered by prevented planting? A: Prevented planting payments can be made if an insured cause of loss resulted in there being NO way into a field that otherwise could be planted. These types of cases are expected to be very limited. If there is ANY way into the field, even if it means the producer has to drive out of the way to reach the acreage, then the producer would be expected to do so if the field was dry enough to plant. Prevented planting payments would not be made if there was any access to the acreage. Producers, however, are not expected to go to extreme measures like airlifting equipment into a field. Q: If I am prevented from planting by the final planting date, what are my choices under the terms of my policy provided I meet all other policy provisions and I do not qualify for double cropping?

A: You may plant the insured crop during the late planting period, if applicable, and insurance coverage will be provided. The late planting period is generally 25 days after the final planting date but varies by crop and area. For most crops, the production guarantee is reduced 1 percent per day for each day planting is delayed after the final planting date. Plant the insured crop after the late planting period (or after the final planting date if a late planting period is not applicable), and insurance coverage will be provided. The insurance guarantee will be the same as the insurance guarantee provided for prevented planting coverage. Leave the acreage idle (black dirt) and receive a full prevented planting payment. Plant a cover crop and receive a full prevented planting payment provided the cover crop is not hayed or grazed before Nov. 1, or otherwise harvested at any time. If the cover crop is hayed or grazed before Nov. 1, the prevented planting payment on the first crop is reduced to 35 percent of the first crop prevented planting guarantee. Plant another crop (second crop) after the late planting period, or after the final planting date if no late planting period is applicable, and receive a prevented planting payment equal to 35 percent of the prevented planting guarantee. Q: If my first insured crop was planted and failed, what are my choices under the terms of my policy provided I meet all other policy pro-

AMES, Iowa — Why is the ash tree in the front yard dropping leaves? What are those brownish, orange things in the cedar tree out back? Why are my ash trees dropping leaves? The leaf drop is probably due to anthracnose. Anthracnose is a common fungal disease of trees in Iowa. Anthracnose may occur on ash, sycamore, maple, oak, walnut and other deciduous trees. Cool, rainy weather in spring favors anthracnose development. Symptoms of anthracnose vary with the tree species. On ash, brown or black blotches typically appear on the leaflets. Affected leaflets often become distorted (they tend to curl toward the blighted areas) and fall from trees. Fortunately, anthracnose does not cause serious harm to healthy, well established trees. The affected trees con-

tinue to leaf out. Leaves that develop later in spring usually are not affected, as weather conditions are less favorable for anthracnose development. There is no need to apply a fungicide to affected trees. There are some strange looking brownish orange structures in my cedar trees. What are they? Cedarapple rust is likely responsible for the brownish orange structures. Cedar-apple rust is a fungal disease. It requires both an apple and cedar or juniper to complete its life cycle. On the cedar, the fungus produces reddish brown galls that are up to golf-ball size on young twigs. During wet weather, these galls swell and begin to push out bright orange gelatinous tubular structures. Wind carries fungal spores from these gelatinous structures to suscepti-

ble apple or crabapple cultivars. Infection occurs when these spores land on a susceptible apple cultivar and moist conditions exist. Small, yellow spots begin to appear on the upper leaf surface shortly after the infection. Spots gradually enlarge and become a bright yellow-orange color. These brightly colored spots make the disease easy to identify on apple leaves. Heavily infected leaves may drop prematurely. In late summer, small tube-like structures develop on the underside of the apple leaves. Spores are released from these structures and are blown by wind back to susceptible cedars or junipers, completing the disease cycle. In most cases, cedar-apple rust does not cause serious harm to cedars (junipers), apples and crabapples. Apple cultivars, such as Haralson, Red Deli-

cious, Redfree, Liberty and Jonamac, are resistant to cedar-apple rust as are many crabapple cultivars. There are gray-green patches on the trunk of my tree. What are they? Are they harming the tree? The gray-green patches are probably lichens. Lichens are unusual organisms. They consist of two unrelated organisms, an alga and a fungus. These two components exist together and behave as a single organism. The alga provides food via photosynthesis. The fungus obtains water and minerals for itself and the alga. Lichens are common on trees because the bark provides a suitable place to gather sunlight and grow. They grow especially well on dead branches because they receive more sunlight. In addition to growing on the trunks and branches of trees, lichens can be found on exposed soil surfaces, rocks, wooden fence posts, shingles, gravestones, stone walls and other sunny surfaces. Lichens may be flat, leafy or branched and hair-like. The lichens on trees are often gray-green. Other species may be orange, yellow, slate blue or black. Lichens are fascinating, unique organisms. They do not harm trees. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach answer questions about trees; to have additional questions answered contact Hortline at hortline@iastate.edu or 515-294-3108.

visions and I do not qualify for double cropping? A: Several choices under what is called “first crop-second crop coverage.� If it is not practical to replant the first insured crop: The acreage may be left idle (black dirt), or planted to a second crop and not insured, and receive a full indemnity for the first insured crop; Plant and insure a second crop and receive a 65 percent reduction in indemnity for the first insured crop – the policyholder pays 35 percent of the premium for the first insured crop; If there is not a loss on the second crop, the policyholder will receive the remaining 65 percent of indemnity on the first insured crop and pay the full premium on the first insured crop; or If the second crop receives an indemnity, the first crop indemnity remains at 35 percent and the second crop indemnity is fully paid (no reduction). The policyholder may choose to not accept the second crop indemnity and receive a full indemnity on the first insured crop.

If it is practical to replant the first insured crop and it is not replanted, no coverage for the first insured crop will be provided. If it is practical to replant the first insured crop and the first insured crop is replanted, a replanting payment will be made and coverage for the first insured crop will remain at the production guarantee. ISU Extension Resources - More details can be found in the ISU Extension publication “Delayed and Prevented Planting Provisions,� file A1-57 on the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Ag Decision Maker website, at www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/. An electronic decision spreadsheet is also available to help analyze alternative actions. Producers should communicate with their crop insurance agent before making decisions about replanting or abandoning acres.

Avery’s “Silver Screen� installed

The screen and 240 yards of “sound fold� drapery for the Avery Theater in Garner were installed last week. The 32 x 12.5-foot screen was ordered through Midwest Cinema of Des Moines. Above: Avery project volunteers Mark Ricke and Lloyd Bier assist Paul Aswegan of Johnston with installing the screen. Inset: Lou Heinen of Des Moines pleats the sound fold material. Flooring to match the original Avery tile floor was installed in the theater entryway by Bob Becker of Swaledale. (Leader photo by Rebecca Peter)
