Kassidy Cook shares Japanese experiences Kassidy Cook Special for the Herald

As part of the Honors Biology class that am taking this semester at Northwestern College in Minneapolis, Minn., I had the privilege of spending what was supposed to be nine days in Japan, four of which were spent in Misaki at the Misaki Marine Biology Station (MMBS) studying marine biology. Misaki sits right on the coast of Sagami Bay, roughly a two hour train and bus ride south of Tokyo.

The beach was extremely peaceful, and as you looked across the bay, Mount Fuji rose from the haze.

During our work there my nine classmates and I would work with eight Japanese students from the University of Tokyo and four other universities in Japan who were looking to study marine biology while improving their English skills. Little did we know, we were in for much more than expected. We left from the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport Thursday, March 3, and after a 12-1/2 hour, non-stop plane ﬂight, complete with a descent so rough many

The Upper Explorerland Regional Planning Commission (UERPC) held a special meeting this past Thursday, March 31 in Postville to review bids and hold a public hearing regarding the remodeling of their new ofﬁce at 325 Washington Street, Decorah, the former Bruening Building. During the time allotted for the public hearing, the Reverend Gary Catterson of Postville’s Community Presbyterian Church asked the Board how their original $60,000 remodeling estimate had grown to nearly $250,000 – stating that with their building purchase of $525,000, they’re effectively spending threequarters of a million dollars to move out of Postville. Though the Reverend’s question was not immediately addressed, Board Chairman Warren Steffen thanked him for the comments. With no more input from the public, the public hearing was closed. It was later speciﬁed that having a second tenant in their new location necessitated a remodel to a portion of the building not originally considered, subsequently leading to the higher estimate. Three bids were received for the project. Cresco Builders bid approximately $232,000; ProBuild in Elkader bid approximately $212,000;

when walking through the doorway. I found this to be quite common throughout my stay in Japan. Thanks to our jet lag, all ten of us and the professor were wide awake by 5:30 a.m. the next morning and went down to the beach to look at the marine life as well as take in Sagami Bay.

The beach was extremely peaceful, and as you looked across the bay, Mount Fuji rose from the haze. The Japanese students arrived that day, and we began to get to know each other. For the next four days we spent around ten hours per day in the lab conducting our group’s study.

people made use of the motion sickness bags, we touched down in Tokyo. Once we got through customs and immigration, we boarded a bus to Yokohama (about an hour-and-a-half drive) and from there jumped on the train for Misaki. Before leaving for Japan, our professor, Dr. Winslow, informed us of some cultural norms and basics that we would need to know when we arrived. One of them was that buses and trains were generally expected to be quiet. When we boarded the bus we remained quiet, afraid of offending the Japanese passengers. An announcement played on the speakers in both Japanese and English that thanked us for riding and then informed the passengers, “Please do not talk on cell phones because it annoys other passengers.” I liked Japan already! Once we got on our train in Yokohama I got my ﬁrst conﬁrmation that Japan really is the third-safest country in the world. It was rush hour there and the trains were packed, but there was a little boy standing alone in our train car that was probably 6-years-old who was on his way home from school. To put it in perspective, Yokohama has a population equal to Los Angeles. I don’t know anyone who would let their 6-yearold travel home from school alone in LA, much less during rush hour, but in Japan it is perfectly safe. We arrived at MMBS that night and got settled into our dorm rooms, which were tiny. Even being only a bit over six feet tall, I had to duck a couple inches

The Onsen and the Buddha That night the Japanese students took us to a nearby onsen, an outdoor hot springs bath consisting of natural hot spring water and many minerals that are good for your skin. It cost 500 yen ($5) and an extra 100 yen for a small washcloth that you put on your head. Like anything else in Japan, though, there was a process to the onsen. First, you took your shoes off and put on the provided slippers (which never fit me wherever we went), and then

“The beach [at Sagami Bay] was extremely peaceful,” noted Cook, “and as you looked across the bay, Mount Fuji rose from the haze.” went into your respective changing rooms where you got undressed and took a shower. During this shower you sat on a small stool and washed every inch of your body. When you were done there was a large bowl that you filled with water and dumped over your head. You could then go into the onsen (there is one for each gender with a wall in between). This onsen overlooked Sagami bay and was extremely relaxing. Basically, visualize a giant hot tub overlooking the sea. After the four day lab concluded, we said goodbye to our Japanese friends and went to Kamakura, about an hour train ride from Misaki. Kamakura is home to the “Great Buddha,” a bronze Buddha that is 45 feet tall. As with all Buddhist and Shinto shrines, this one was extremely peaceful and relaxing, since the religion encourages getting rid of distractions in your life. After a few hours of shopping, including some time in the 100 yen store (Japanese dollar store), we went back to the MMBS for one final night before heading out to Tokyo. Tokyo, by way of Ueno The next morning I got up early and went down to the beach to soak up the beauty and peacefulness of Sagami Bay and Mt. Fuji one last time. Fortunately, the view that morning was the clearest it had been all week, and Fuji was absolutely stunning.

We left for Tokyo that morning and got to see the countryside of Japan, something we didn’t get the chance to see when we came down since it was dark out. We arrived in Ueno, a town in the northern part of Tokyo, and walked about ten minutes to our hotel. For the remainder of the day, we split up into two groups. One group, led by Dr. Winslow, went to Ueno Park, home of the famous Sakura (cherry blossom) Festival, and the Japanese National Museum. I chose to go to Shibuya to see the Meji Shrine and Harajuku, an area known for its interesting fashion trends. Takuya and Sae, two of the Tokyo University students we studied with at MMBS, joined us as our leaders and translators. We had a great time, and I checked off one of my “goals in Japan” by trying a McDonald’s teriyaki burger. As we were heading back to Ueno on the train, we saw on the monitor that one of the train lines was delayed due to an accident. We asked Takuya what type of an accident it was, and he informed us of a sad truth in Japan. “Accident” was actually a less graphic way of saying that someone had committed suicide by jumping in front of a train. Japan is a society that lives and dies by working hard, often seven-days-aweek, and honoring your family. Takuya told us that losing your job is a very big deal there, and many people can’t handle the thought that they brought shame to their

family. We asked him how often an “accident” happens, to which he solemnly replied, “At least once a day somewhere in Tokyo.”

A traditional Japanese supper Both groups met back up at the hotel and we then went out to supper at a traditional Japanese restaurant. In this type of restaurant, you take off your shoes before sitting down at the table. There are no chairs, only cushions on the floor, and the table is about a foot off the floor. Being a rather large guy, especially by Japanese standards, it was quite the spectacle to see me try to get my legs under the table. Fortunately after a few minutes of struggling and muscle cramping I got under the table and our meals were delivered: eel, sashimi (raw fish), tempura (battered shrimp), soup, white rice, and pickled radishes. I had already had everything except the eel before this meal, so I knew what to expect. The eel, however, was definitely an experience, one that I will never repeat.

Statewide Tornado Drill

If you pinch a feather star’s arm, it detaches the arm from the body at that pressure point, leaving you holding the end of that arm. Over the next couple of months they then grow that arm back. Our group, led by a Tokyo University professor named Kondo-sensei (-sensei means teacher or professor), took one of the arm tips and put it through a series of soaking in various chemicals, a process that took over six hours. Once it was put through the proper chemicals we put it in three different stages of paraffin wax in order to preserve it in a block; and once the wax was hard, we put it on a machine that cut the specimen and wax into a 10 micrometer slice (1/100 of a millimeter) and put them on a microscope slide to look at. Being a math education major, this entire process and even what we were looking at under a microscope was a bit confusing, but I went with the flow and learned a lot nevertheless. On the third day of the lab we had finished our main lab and then spent a day working on crinoids’ immune cells with Dr. Winslow. Crinoids are the family that contains sea urchins, starfish, and sea feathers. Basically, we would go in with a syringe to get fluid from the animal and then watch the different types of clotting and immune cells go to work. This was much more interesting for me because in this lab we spent most of the time playing around with the animals and stabbing them with needles (no worries, they can’t feel pain).

Family Favorites by Fran Fran Schager

A simple request turns in to an activity for residents When Good Samaritan Society resident Donald Levenhagen mentioned that he had always wanted a denim quilt, he said it to the right person: former quilter Janice Brainard. Janice had been an avid quilter for years, but as life got busy, she hadn’t sewn one in over ten years. Don’s wish was the motivation Janice needed to dig out her quilting supplies and help Don realize his dream. Janice Brainard, a staff member at Good Samaritan Society –Postville, is one of Don’s caregivers. She asked Administrator, Sharese Van Sloten, if she could set up a quilting frame at the center and help piece together a quilt for Don. Sharese loved the idea, and staff members began bringing in old blue jeans that Don used to cut into squares. Janice pieced them together, and several residents helped in tying the three sections – squares, lining, and backing –

together. The quilt generated a lot of interest, and a second quilt was cut, sewn, and tied by residents. They are now starting their third quilt, which will go to a staff member who has always wanted a cozy, soft quilt. Good Samaritan Society resident Violet Hangartner is helping piece together the quilts and says she is happy to be back at the sewing machine. “We love doing it,” she says. “We want to keep going until we’ve made one for everyone here that wants one.” They may reach that goal. Violet has already made over 200 quilts in her lifetime, with all but the one on her bed given away to family and friends. A local church women’s group is getting involved, too. Women from St. John’s Lutheran Church in Arlington, Iowa bring in some of their quilts for oversees mission projects

Mueller travels to Guatemala as member of HELP International medical mission team of Huehuetenango the group traveled first to the capital of Guatemala City where they boarded buses to the military base at Huehuetenango. Huehuetenango is a city in the highlands of western Guatemala. It is located about 165 miles from Guatemala City. The name Huehuetenango means place of the ancients and many of the inhabitants are poor people who cannot afford medical care. Although Cici was a member of the medical team, a stove team also was a part of their group. She said, “Our group which originated out of St. Cloud, Minn. had 120 total volunteers. This included 14

Postville’s Cici Mueller, who retired last year after teaching family and consumer science at Postville High School for over three decades, is not spending her days idly. Rather, she is beginning to explore some of the many opportunities on her list of “Things to Do.” A top priority, to experience a mission trip, was fulfilled this winter when she traveled to Guatemala with HELP International as a member of a medical team. With a final destination

high school students from Guatemala City who served as translators.” The stove team, she explained, went into homes and built stoves for the families. Most families, Mueller explained, just build a fire in the middle of the house to cook. Beside being unsafe, the smoke can cause many respiratory illnesses. The addition of 1,000,000 stoves can add billions to the local economy as they use one third less energy as the open fires. The wood supply in the area is dwindling rapidly so the installation of stoves is also vital to the preservation of the environment. The cost to install one

stove, Mueller said, is $225 and the families are asked to pay $25. She said, “When the family pays a portion of the cost, they feel more pride in the accomplishment of ownership. Many families are also making a partial payment for a water filter.” HELP International also sends agricultural teams to teach the residents how to grow and sell their crops. One of the main goals of HELP International is to assure those in need that change can happen. It is their goal to change lives and impact nations. Medical trips, Cici explained cost $35,000 each.

their best when being seen by a doctor.” She added, “Each of the children were given a quilt and ‘Beanie Baby’ when they arrived at the clinic. They were also given ‘health kits’ with personal hygiene products. Their eyes just sparkled when they were given the gifts. I would encourage anyone having ‘Beanie Babies’ they no longer want to donate them to this mission.” Although the majority of each day was spent helping those in need, Mueller said she was able to visit a school where stoves were being installed in the kitchen. The school, she explained, was for students in grades K-6 and was operated by the government. Students were well-groomed and dressed in uniforms. They also visited a coffee plantation and visited some Mayan ruins. When asked about becoming a HELP International volunteer, Cici said, “The cost for the week-long trip was $2,000 and I am most grateful to Community Presbyterian Church who helped fund my experience” HELP International, which was begun in 1984, is not supported by any specific religious denomination. Yet, she said, it has a strong religious background, and encourages people to share their faith as they serve those in need. The mission of the organization is “Fighting poverty while empowering people.” Mueller said she hopes to go back next winter as a member of the Stove Team. She explained, “I want to go into the homes and meet the people and learn more

The people coming to the clinic were very poor and many were unable to read or write.” Being able to be seen by a medical team was an extreme blessing for the people who came to the clinic and they never complained even when they were sometimes forced to wait in line the better part of a day.

Clayton Supervisors hear concerns over RC&D funding County WIC Clinic discussed, RC&D funding may fall short due to cuts

Pat McTaggart Area Correspondent The Clayton County Board of Supervisors Wednesday, March 30, held a discussion with County Visiting Nurses Director Nancy Yelden about the possibility of moving the WIC (women, infants and children) clinic from the County Ofﬁce Building to the recently purchased DeLong building. Yelden requested the move after receiving an email from the Iowa Department of Health, which included a letter written by a Clayton County WIC recipient complaining about the current clinic site. In part, the WIC

recipient’s letter cited cases of dead flies and filthy conditions in the clinic’s bathroom and the presence of mold in the building, which caused sneezing and allergies to flare up. “Now there are cockroaches in the building,” the letter stated. “I’m uncomfortable taking my child into a building like that.” Yelden asked the Supervisors if it would be possible to move the two day a month clinic to the DeLong building, which will eventually house all offices currently in the more than 100 year old County Office Building. Supervisor Ron McCartney said he had reservations about moving the clinic to the new

building right now because of manufacturing materials and equipment still in the building that could be harmful to children. He also noted that if there were health issues for clients at the current building, there are also health issues for those that work there. Supervisor Chairman Larry Gibbs agreed. “It’s not practical to go there now,” he said. “We still need to come up with $1 million for moving the offices to the DeLong building, but the cost of remodeling the current office building and bring it up to state and federal standards will be $3 million. It’s only common dollar sense to move forward with the DeLong building as soon as we find the funding.”

‘Reality 101’ educates over 250 seniors from area schools

“Reality 101,” held this past Wednesday, March 30, allowed Postville, MFL/Mar-Mac, Waukon and Kee High seniors to get a feel for the ﬁnancial constraints of the real world.

Over 250 graduating Seniors from Postville, MFL/Mar-Mac, Kee High and Waukon schools attended “Reality 101” at the Waukon High School Wednesday, March 30. Over 80 individuals and businesses volunteered their time to create a real life ﬁnancial scenario for all of these students preparing for graduation. Each student was given a career and monthly income based on northeast Iowa wages, and was then required to visit each of the 30 stations to open a bank account, pay their taxes, purchase an automobile and insurance, pay for daycare, groceries, household supplies, vet expenses, health and life insurance, etc. They were also visited by a roaming ofﬁcer who issued

many tickets for trafﬁc violations, and a roaming nurse who had to charge full price for medical services to any students who had not elected to purchase health insurance. In addition, they were also dealt fate cards that caused them additional out of pocket expenses due to ﬁctitious scenarios such as broken water pipes or vehicle repair - all things that can and do unexpectedly happen in real life. The students had to balance their checkbooks and prove they had a positive balance in order to exit the event. Those with a negative balance had to visit the “SOS” table and brainstorm ways to get themselves out of debt. “We were so happy to be able to host all of the schools in the hospital’s service

area this year for the event. We were all impressed by how seriously the students took this opportunity, and how polite and friendly they were to all of the volunteers working at the event,” states Cheryl Livingston, EMT-P, of Veterans Memorial Hospital, Reality 101 Event Coordinator. “Even the most apprehensive students ﬁnished Reality 101 having learned many life lessons, unintentionally. This alone is an awesome sense of accomplishment for all the dedicated volunteers willing to facilitate Reality 101.” Many of the businesses helping with the event go to the work of providing reallife costs of their products ahead of time so these students can “purchase” items at today’s prices, making the event as realistic as possible. Participating businesses and organizations this year included the following: R.W. Pladsen, Torkelson’s of Waukon, Bieber Insurance and Real Estate, Fidelity Bank and Trust, Freedom

Yelden said a plan needs to be developed to address the WIC clinic issue, and suggested other options would be to make sure the clinic area is very clean when the clinic is in session or to try and find another location, such as a local church or a bank community room. She also stated that the state has to be notified 60 days in advance of any clinic move. The Supervisors decided to draft a letter, which will be sent to the state and to county WIC recipients, stating they share the concerns of the clients and will work to fix

A Still Mind

Bethlehem Presbyterian Ludlow Township

Cemetery & Landscape Lettering

Locally Owned Full Service Monument Companies Thomas & Dave Luhman, Owners

In the hustle and bustle of our hectic lives we often need to slow down and quiet our minds. The following meditation is intended to still the mind and calm the soul: “My still mind reflects only peace and holiness. Even if I am unaware of it, peace and holiness are still there. Let my mind reflect only peace and holiness.” Often times we appear calm on the surface but underneath our minds are racing. We are like ducks that appear calm on the surface of the pond but underneath their feet are paddling frantically. If at times, this describes what your life feels like, then repeat this meditation, or some version of it, whenever you have the chance. “My mind is still and calm, reflecting only peace and holiness. Even when I am not aware of it, peace and holiness surround me. May I reflect only peace and holiness.” Don’t worry if you don’t have it memorized exactly. The important point is simply to affirm that your mind is calm and still, reflecting only peace Be still, and know that I am God. and holiness, and that you are New K.J.V. Psalm 46:10 surrounded by peace and holiness.

Opinion

Wednesday, April 6, 2011

The more things change... There is an old adage of French origin which states: plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose Which loosely translates to English as... the more things change, the more they stay the same. It is an interesting passage to ponder, especially as you – again – browse through a changed Herald. Two Octobers ago, 74 issues ago, I took over the Herald and changed not only the name, but the look. A necessary step at the time to break the mold and change your perception of newspapers. Now, as we embark upon issue 75 under my influence, it was necessary again to challenge convention. While it was functional, it was ultimately limiting...

and as such it was time to rethink the front page and each of these inside pages. The design process is, fortunately or unfortunately, a living process; and while I can say with certainty there will be no more big changes (at least for 74 more issues) - as we progress through this experiment of publishing together, you may notice “tweaks” to the page headers, layouts, etc... or you may not. It may be such a case where I am overanticipating all-out riots over this... For those of you who have been pondering the adage, it is my hope its relationship to the “new” logo was not lost on you... as for those with no clue, ask someone who remembers a Herald sans Leader. -JLM

Clayton County Continued from Page 5... the situation with better sanitary conditions. They also said they would find a temporary home for the clinic if necessary, but their preference was to rectify the problems with the current facility while ultimately working toward a better long term solution. Approval was given for a Clayton County Flood Plain Management ordinance change, which changes the designation of the Mississippi River to a flood way. Health and Zoning Administrator Janet Ott said the changes are necessary because of new flood insurance rate maps and that they will only affect certain areas along the river. “For persons wishing to erect new buildings or add on to current buildings, an engineering study will have to be done to show how it will affect water displacement,” she said.

“A lot of it is based on topography, and it does not prohibit building in designated areas. A person will just have to do a little extra work to do it.” Lora Friest, Northeast Iowa Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Council coordinator, brought the Supervisors up to date on federal cuts in the program. The RC&D was started during the midst of the 1980s farm crisis by the United States congress to address conservation and economic development on the local level. Anyone can propose a project to the RC&D, and the local board will then look at and evaluate it to see if it is viable. Grants are then written for the project to help finance it. Funding, which is very competitive, has been obtained for tourism, promotions and community infrastructure such as the Guttenberg Marina Project, community art preservation and child care facilities. Other areas served by RC&D grants are forestry promotion, invasive species monitoring for such things as Gypsy moths and Emerald Ash Borers, business development and water quality monitoring. “We compete for grants across the state and across the country,” Friest said. “Your tax dollars are going towards all sorts of projects, but they don’t necessarily come back to our area unless you write and compete for grant money. We try to get our state dollars back into Iowa by looking for funding

sources and grants, and we try to create infrastructure that will foster economic development.” Friest said the House of Representatives has recommended 0% funding for RC&D, while the U.S. Senate has called for a 50% decrease in the RC&D budget. “We don’t know what the end result will be,” she added. “If funding is cut, the

Northeast Iowa RC&D will have to find ways of getting private or local government funding for operations to continue to serve local communities.” The Northeast Iowa RC&D Council, which operates out of Postville, serves Allamakee, Winneshiek, Howard, Fayette, Buchanan and Clayton counties and is one of 375 RC&D councils in

Upper Iowa University Wrestling team 19 Pirate Soccer set to open season at home this Friday Joel Rucal, Wilmer “We have a good group of Selvin Chuy, Octavio in DII All-Academic Wrestling Teams Top 20 Sharon Drahn Lopez, Hernandez, Luis Toj, Emilio freshmen and sophomores Valenzo, Jatniel Sanchez,

The Upper Iowa wrestling team finished 19th in the 2010-11 Division II AllAcademic Wrestling Teams Top 20 presented by the National Wrestling Coaches Association thanks to a team grade point average of 3.005. The NWCA also cited five Peacock student-athletes that earned individual honors for the year. The University of Indianapolis (3.419) is this year’s Academic National Champion, while UIU is just one of five Northern Sun Conference members to earn the recognition. Joining Upper Iowa is Northern State (4th, 3.340), Augustana (5th, 3.292), U-Mary (7th, 3.237) and St. Cloud State (12th, 3.154). In order for a studentathlete to be nominated for

the Division II All-Academic Team, he needs to have a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale. He must also be in at least his second full year at his school, be a varsity member on his team or a key reserve, demonstrate a degree of skill and have a minimum of two letters of recommendation (academic advisor and coach) submitted on his behalf. Upper Iowa’s Carl Broghammer, Kyle Pedretti and Mitch Schultz all were named to the first team. Wade Gobin was honored on the second team, while Blake Hilmer earned recognition as an honorable mention. Broghammer is a redshirt freshman that is majoring in management with a 3.18

Schroeder is member of Team Braemar Synchronized Ice Skating team

Lily Schroeder

Lily Schroeder, a junior in high school from Rosemount, Minn. is a member of Team Braemar synchronized ice skating team that recently placed third at the World Competition. The team has earned several accolades in recent months. The team traveled to Rouen, France where they

placed first in mid-February. Two weeks later they traveled to Ontario, Canada for Nationals where they captured second place. The World Competition was in Neuchatel, Switzerland where they finished third. This competition was against the top 22 synchronized teams in the world. The winners were the top two teams from Finland, followed by Team Braemar, of which Lily is a member. This is the highest a team from the United States has ever finished in the competition. Lily, who began skating at the age of 18 months, is the daughter of Dave and Angela Schroeder. Her grandparents are Mel and Gerry Cook of Postville, Dave and Carolyn Smith of McGregor and her greatgrandmother is Josephine Smith of Monona.

GPA. Pedretti earned the honor for the second time; he was named to the second team following the 2008-09 season. The redshirt junior is majoring in physical education with a 3.15 GPA. Schultz, a redshirt sophomore, is on the AllAcademic First Team for the second straight year. The financial management major is carrying a 3.92 GPA. Gobin, also a redshirt sophomore, also made the team for the second straight year. Last year he was also on the second team. The Cannon Falls, Minnesota native is an agricultural business major with a 3.54 GPA. Hilmer made the honorable mention list for his efforts in the classroom pulling a 3.09 GPA with a social science education major.

Manuel Garcia, and Juan Pablo Perez. Also joining the team is Edosa Grau from Elkader Central. Team strengths, the coaches noted, are experienced players, team speed and the ability to work hard. “The team”, Schultz said, “has set lofty goals for this year. Everyone is in agreement that they want to get further than they did last year.” When asked about things the young players need to work on, Schultz replied, “We still need to improve on our passing and team defense.” Because a limited number of schools have soccer, the Pirates play many larger 2A schools. According to early predictions, the teams to beat this spring are Decorah and Waverly.

Pirate Golfers a ‘fun group with realistic expectations,’ says coach With their first match already behind them, the golfers of Coach Scott Denner’s Postville Pirate Golf team look to face North Fayette tomorrow, Thursday, April 7 at the Tri-City Golf Club in rural Luana at 4 p.m. On the 2011 roster for the Lady Pirates are seniors Morgan Deering, Monica Lansgaard and Kelsey Schnuelle. Sophomore Amanda Lage and freshmen Hannah Dougherty, Katie Knaggs, Mariah Mostaert and Jessica Ott round out girls’ team. Deering, Schnuelle and Lage are returning to the team from the 2010 season. Junior Hannah Radloff is unable to play this season due to an injury. An unfortunate circumstance for the lady golfers, and a “big loss” according to Coach Denner. In addition to the loss of Radloff, Denner noted that

the loss of graduated senior Tina Converse is a challenge to overcome this season. “We will have to find a new ‘number-one’ golfer that will accept that role,” stated the coach. He continued saying that the team does have experience returning this season, and that all the girls have been working really hard so far. “We will count on some of our younger golfers to step up and contribute as the year goes forward,” added Denner. Returning to the boys’ roster is senior Josh Harms and juniors Ben Jacobs, Cody Jarmes, Justin Kruckenberg and Alex Rogers. They are joined by senior Ryan Guese, junior Alex Enyart, and sophomores Pedro Lopez and Jacob Ohloff, along with freshmen Jayce Bohr, Garret Ohloff and Chance Chager. “We have a number of

returning golfers who gained a lot of valuable experience a year go,” noted the coach. Coach Denner also noted that the development of consistency is an area of concern for the boys and girls team. For both the teams, Coach Denner cites the ability to keep the ball in

the fairway and keeping the number of strokes down as the key to a successful 2011 season. “I would like to be able to help all of our golfers understand the importance of staying in the fairway, having a controlled swing, and take as few shots on the green as possible,” relayed the coach.

“Ultimately, that is what develops consistency, which leads to the most success, and when kids are having success, they are having fun.” He continued, “I do not have a goal set in place record-wise, but if we can improve our scores from day-one to conference, I think we will be happy.”
