West Hancock to perform â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Anne Frank and Meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By Sarah Freesemann The West Hancock drama departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall play takes on a more serious production. The department will perform â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anne Frank and Meâ&#x20AC;? next week, a play with a more serous script and message.

The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past plays have been comedies and musicals, this fall the actors and their audience will experience a more emotional plot.

The play is a modern-day take on the classic story of Anne Frank. A group of high school students are studying The Diary of Anne Frank when one student, Nicole, suffers an accident and travels back in time to Paris in 1942. During her time in Paris, Nicole and her family are sent to Aschwitz where she meets Anne Frank on the train ride to the concentration camp.

West Hancock students have been busy

not only practicing for the performance over the past weeks, but also learning more about the Holocaust to allow them to get into character the best they can.

The play is sure to be an emotional, educational and enjoyable production that all spectators and cast members will not forget.

Performances will be Friday, November 1 and Saturday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 3 at 1 p.m. There will also be a soup

supper on Nov. 1 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the cafeteria.

The cast members include: Alyssa Wood, Leah Christ, Emma Chizek, Uziel Romero, Sam Smith, Cassi Jackson, Nathaniel Jackson, Miriam Garcia, Dusty Kraft, Macey Harms, Taylor Glawe, Willie Kreitlow, Tre Lehoe, Brice Kudej, Natalie Wood, Danni Quastad, and Elizabeth Eckels.

G-H adopts resolution of intent to pursue reorganization

By Rebecca Peter GARNER - Roark Horn, chief administrator for Area Education Agency 267 met with Garner-Hayfield and Ventura boards of Education during a special joint session, Monday, Oct. 14. The two districts are in the second year of a whole grade sharing agreement.

The AEA chief congratulated both boards on â&#x20AC;&#x153;how smoothly whole grade sharing has gone.â&#x20AC;?

The best time to pursue reorganization is from a position of strength, he said. He believed that description applies to both districts.

Horn presented information from the Iowa School Board Association Restructuring Manual on procedures and

timelines leading to a possible school merger.

He reviewed what is required for a reorganization petition: â&#x20AC;˘A description of the legal boundaries of the proposed school district. â&#x20AC;˘The name of the district. â&#x20AC;˘Number of directors on the initial or regular board of the new district. â&#x20AC;˘Method of electing or selecting those directors. â&#x20AC;˘The petition may include a provision that a voter-approved PPEL be voted on in conjunction with the new reorganization election. â&#x20AC;˘The petition may also address the division of assets and liabilities.

He said the AEA is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;neutral partyâ&#x20AC;?

in the reorganization process. The AEA board will review the petitions to determine if it meets requirements. The AEA will set a public hearing date as well as the finial date objections can be filed.

At the hearing, the AEA board rules on objections and sets the boundaries for the proposed district.

The AEA also sets the date for an election. School district consolidation requires approval by a simple majority of voters in both districts. A reorganization election must be held in the calendar year prior to the year in which the reorganization will take effect.

The soonest reorganization could take place, if approved, is 2015-16 school G-H CSD to page 17

Quilt Extravaganza

The Garner Public Library was the setting for a quilt show, Saturday afternoon, Oct. 19. Thirty quilts from Garner area quilters were on display. Quilts for the show were supplied by Country Threads staff and other local quilters. Quilt patterns ranged from traditional to contemporary. Visitor Mari Albers of Garner (left) and library director Ellen Petty hold up a quilt made by Connie Tesene. The pattern is from a book by Jo Morton. This is the first such event held at the library, according to Petty.

The library hopes to host another in the future. The library plans to have other programs that will appeal to adults during the fall and winter season. (Leader photo by Rebecca Peter)

The Leader launches new website, improved e-edition

After much research and preparation, the Leader launched its state-of-the-art website and e-edition subscription last week at www.theleaderonline.net.

The site is computer, iPad, and smartphone friendly, and will be updated often with local news, sports, death notices, weather, and other information. It also serves as a jumping off point for the Leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as an easy way for the public to submit news like wedding and birth announcements.

In the future, users will be able to buy photos they see in the paper through the website via a photo service called Smugmug. Photos will be available in almost any size and will arrive in the mail about a week after an order is placed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very excited to help bring the Leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online presence up-to-date,â&#x20AC;? said Mid-America Publishing web administrator Molly Angstman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its readers deserve a modern, easy-to-navigate site with current content.â&#x20AC;?

According to Angstman, the best part of the new site is the improved e-edition, an online replica of the printed newspaper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Users access the e-edition through a username and password, but otherwise itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot like the normal paper.

Instead of turning pages with your hands, you just click with your mouse instead,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on an iPad, you just tap the screen to keep reading.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition to our print edition of the newspaper, The Leader is excited to utilize 21st Century technology to keep our readers connected to their hometown,â&#x20AC;? said Rebecca Peter, editor.

E-editions are handy for people who travel often or out-of-towners who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to wait to receive the paper in the mail. Others just like the tech-savvy way of reading the news, says Angstman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a link mentioned in a story or an ad within the e-edition, you can actually click on it and your WEBSITE to page 17

The Leader â&#x20AC;˘ Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013

Meet the Candidates

www.theleaderonline.net

City elections are Tuesday, Nov. 5 The Leader posed the following question to candidates: What do see as goals/priorities for your community for the next four years? How do you propose these issues be addressed?

Candidates from Garner, Britt, and Klemme are featured in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paper.

Garner Candidates Garner residents will elect three to the city council. Candidates are Tim Schmidt and incumbent councilmen George Smith and Dennis Drabek.

Ken Mick, current mayor, is also unopposed.

Tim Schmidt

As a life long resident, it has been amazing to watch the progress Garner has made in the past years. While some of our neighboring towns have seen declining population and business, Garner has had an influx.

It is very important to bring new business and industry to Garner, but I think sometimes we forget about the businesses we already have. We need to do everything we can to promote and help our existing businesses. I think keeping a close relationship between the city and the Chamber of Commerce is vital to having a healthy downtown. The new Garner Facade Revitalization Project will help our businesses in the long run. First impressions go a long way, and if we have our main street looking â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;top notchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, it will reflect on our city as a whole.

Addressing Garnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing issues is a concern of mine. While serving on the Garner Housing Board, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen first hand how important it is to stay ahead of our housing needs. Right now we

have a need for $125,000 to $150,000 3-bedroom homes. The tax abatement we have in place on new construction of homes has been helping. It can mean the difference between a family deciding to move to Garner and building a new home, or choosing to live in a different town. We are in strong competition with our surrounding communities on attracting families, so we need to do everything we can to help them choose Garner.

Watching out for the taxpayer dollar will be a top priority of mine. I believe in any business or organization, there is a certain amount of excess spending that can be addressed. We need to grow Garner while keeping our taxes in check. We have a lot to be proud of in our town, and can thank all the people before us with great visions they turned into reality for making Garner the town it is today.

George Smith

Goals and priorities for the next four years starts with ensuring the City remains â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Financially Soundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, not only for the today, but also for the future. As a councilperson, this is always a concern of mine. The council addresses this issue during our annual strategic planning work sessions where we can prioritize the cities needs for today and the

Boy Scouts teaches valuable life skills To the editor: This letter comes to you in support of a long time youth program, Boy Scouts.

Yes, this organization has been subject to what the media deemed â&#x20AC;&#x153;newsworthyâ&#x20AC;? information this past year.

However, what the media has not focused upon and what should be the most worthy of the news is â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the Boy Scout program does for the boy.â&#x20AC;? After all, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that what is the most important?

The boys can join at age 11, usually eager to learn about that first campout and what they get to eat there, but as they grow older, their interests in the program expand and we start to see visual changes in the Scouts. The Scout makes many new friendships, he learns valuable life skills such as first aid and what to do in the case of an emergency.

He embarks on new adventures; from summer camps to Boundary Waters or even the National Jamboree in West Virginia. Each adventure is one he will not forget! For some, they have even

had to band together to save their lives such as during the tornado in 2008 at the Little Sioux Scout Ranch. Such a tragedy, and, yet, it showed what they had learned from the Scouting program!

A Boy Scout acquires leadership skills, responsibility, commitment, and has to set goals for himself. He also knows what it is like to achieve those goals, especially, if he achieves the rank of Eagle Scout!

Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that what we, as parents, want for all of our children? For our children to challenge themselves, achieve their goals, and receive personal growth as they make their way into becoming an adult?

When looking for an extra curricular program for your son, grandson, or nephew, please consider Boy Scouts (ages 11-17). A program where the skills they learn will stay with them forever!

Tim Schmidt future. Talks/discussion need to continue with the board members of the golf course about the possible acquisition of the Garner Golf Course by the city to ensure this valuable asset remains open for the residents of Garner. The council and board members need hammer out the details of the purchase or lease to ensure a win/win outcome for everyone in the community. If the acquisition is completed, improvements need to be made to make this asset a family oriented attraction.

One option would be to construct a playground so that children have a place to play while their guardians enjoy the other amenities. I would suggest that we apply for grants, partner with the Park and Recreation Board, enlist volunteers and seek donations to finance this addition.

We need to make sure that we continue to maintain and improve our cities infrastructure. Streets, sewer and the wastewater treatment plant need to be evaluated each year to ensure they are meeting our needs and that proper maintenance is performed.

The library renovation project will continue to be a priority. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to work with the public, the library board and the building committee to ensure we get the library weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been anxiously awaiting. We need to continue looking for possible solutions for a bike path for the Wildridge and Country Club kids, so they have a safe way to get into town. This task becomes more and more challenging each year, as funds arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available; however, I still feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

George Smith equally as important and needs to be on the radar.

Last but not least, we need to ensure that our Veterans Memorial Recreation Center, Parks and Recreation, and the Garner Aquatic Center continues to offer a wide variety of programs for our patrons an continue to grow. This is accomplished by having a great board, director, and feedback from the public and support from the council.

Dennis Drabek

As a thriving community we have many projects in progress. At present we are working on storm sewer intake replacement, sludge storage at the wastewater plant and continuing the sidewalk program. Future plans include purchasing the Golf Course, Housing Rehabilitation Program, a Downtown Revitalization Program and remodeling of the public library.

I think it is important to keep up with the wants and needs of our town, but still be financially responsible with the taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money. We need to do as much as we can without the burden of higher taxes.

In the next four years I hope to keep Garner moving in a positive direction so that all of us can be proud to call this great city our home.

Ken Mick

Incumbent mayor I am completing two terms as Mayor of Garner, eight years of activity and

Dennis Drabek growth. I feel there are so many challenges and projects on the horizon that I would like to be a part of. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with that in mind that I wish seek reelection and I ask your support on Nov. 5.

The next four years are going to be busy and exciting. Garner has an opportunity to continue doing things that makes Garner the place to live. Just a few thoughts regarding the goal and priorities of the next four years: â&#x20AC;˘Financial and infrastructure: Maintaining the financial and physical foundation of the communities are constant priorities and goals and will continued to be. â&#x20AC;˘Housing: Economic Development in communities of our size is largely driven by housing. It will be necessary to address a variety of housing needs including: seeking methods to expand the availability of single family homes, multiple occupancy facilities, assisted living and other desired housing needs.

Garnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location is conveniently located for access to employment locally as well as in the surrounding communities. Our goal is to help meet housing needs.

Main Street Support: Small towns continue to face challenges everyday to maintain their main street retail. Currently Gamer is taking the first step to look at a Downtown Revitalization Project, one that would put a new face and new excitement in our business community. This project hopefully will occur over the next few years. The success of this project remains to be seen, however, it is important today and cer-

Ken Mick tainly important tomorrow and the future of the community.

Local Industry: Continued support of our local industry. Provide assistance when and where we can. Employment is critical to attracting and maintaining a quality work force and the strength of a desirable community. â&#x20AC;˘Quality of Life: Projects of recent years that have been critical to attracting new people to our community have been the Aquatic Center and Veterans Memorial Recreation Center. As we continue to provide a desirable place to live, we will be looking to improve and broaden the recreational opportunities provided by our Garner Golf Course.

We will be looking to improve and strengthen services provided by this facility.

Education: For many years Garner has been proud of the reputation for quality education. Our facilities have received the best of care. Continuing to maintain and update to meet the demands of the times. The rapid changes in education have required major decisions locally as well as that at the state and national levels. Recent whole grade sharing with Ventura schools has brought into view possible decisions relating to the future needs of this partnership. The city will be ready and willing to assist as needed.

These are items on the current radar.

We never know what emergencies or other important issues may arise to challenge city management, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up to the challenge.

Meet the Candidates

Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013 • The

Britt Candidates Voters at Britt will elect two persons to 4-year terms on the city council, and one person to fill a 2-year unexpired term. Candidates are: incumbent Mike Ostercamp (4-year term), Jay Ryerson (4-year term), and Chad Luecht (2-year term).

Voters will also elect a mayor. Gary Gelner, a candidate for mayor, is unopposed.

As a community we need to continue to revitalize the downtown area to both attract new businesses and retain and update existing ones. We are in need of affordable housing both to purchase and to rent.

We are also short of industrial expansion space. If you don`t have space Britt won`t even be considered as a potential site by businesses.

Some of this can be paid for with various grant moneys, but some government funding, and a considerable amount of private investment are necessary.

Positive attitudes and follow through are and absolutely essential.

Mike Ostercamp

My goals and priorities are one and the same. I would like to see us continuing to work on our next street project, some of our original blacktopped streets are now 45+ years old and badly in need of replacement along with the sewer and water mains which run under them.

I would like to see efforts to improve the visual attractiveness of the city: eg, Freedom Rock, gazebo park, veterans park, the new mural, continue. I would like to see the city and business owners work together to apply for funding for a main street facade upgrade, similar to what surrounding communities are doing.

I would like some organization in the community put on a concert night at the gazebo park one night a month using

Chad Luecht

different musical groups from around the area, whether Malek’s Fishermen band, high school band or any other area entertainment. I feel if we are to attract new business or industry to the area, we have to make our community as appealing as possible, after all, every community in the state is after the same thing, attracting new growth.

(2) I feel the only way these issues can be addressed is by the entire community coming together, working together. some of these projects, such as street improvements, will be costly, some such as entertainment need not be. I feel the past city councils have been very conservative in the use of public funds, refinancing bonds whenever possible to obtain the best interest rates available thereby making funds available for other projects. By the entire community working together and taking pride in Britt, we can continue in our efforts to make Britt the best little town in Iowa.

Chad Luecht

The City of Britt has a very good school system, aquatic center, beautiful hospital, stores, a welcoming community, and much more. Our city has a great foundation for growth. There are currently things the city is working on that are being addressed by the city that are all important, but I feel economic growth of Britt is a priority of mine.

Right now we have businesses that go above and beyond to serve the needs of Britt. They are with out a doubt assets

of the community. We have business that survive and thrive, which, in other surrounding towns, that are larger, used to have, but no longer do. That speaks volumes about our businesses and the owners.

How we see our town, visitors , and possibly potential residents is important. The City of Britt and store owners have done a great job investing in Britt, with the mural on main, Chamber radio advertising, many new store fronts. All of this and much more makes downtown very appealing.

Addressing this goal and many others, will come, when I have more knowledge of issues, and my commitment to investing time in them, through working with the experience of the council, and the city leaders. What I can say about our growth right now is buying locally essential. We hear the phrase over and over, and it is very important for the growth of our town, through tax revenue and for people/family’s that own them, they are our community leaders, friends, and neighbors, and they count on us. Buying local, will help our community grow, and will also bring new businesses to Britt.

When I entered my ballot for council, I was overwhelmed with positive input from people and their ideas, on making Britt an even better community then it already is. It was a good feeling knowing that people care about their city, as I do, and want to see it grow, their voices, and ideas, I hear, and hopefully they, and others, will bring their ideas to council meetings also. Thank you.

Let me start with a little about myself. As many people in Britt have noticed, I have recently become a new member of the community since moving here in July of this year.

Some may ask, “why Britt?” I have to say that with the many friends in the area along with my desire to help out and be active in the community, my decision to relocate to Britt was an easy one.

For three years now, I have been involved in the Armstrong Annual Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre, spent countless hours as a volunteer for the Hobo Day Committee, and have enjoyed working with and volunteering for the Britt Veterans. I have also been a strong supporter of Britt by being a patron of many of the businesses within the community. Over the past few years of volunteering in Britt and becoming more involved in the community, I learned that the people of Britt have a lot to say about Britt, much of it good and some not as good.

With that being said, when I attended my first city council meeting this month, I was surprised to see how low the attendance was. Community involvement is but one of the many important things for us to work on.

Our city leaders are here to serve and lead the community, however I would like to work towards more community involvement by the community themselves. I believe its very important to have as many Britt people attend the

council meetings as possible in order to help the City Council determine what is best. There are many things that I look forward to working on. Some of those items include but are not limited to: 1. Assure a financially-sound city and pursue a balanced and sustainable local economy.

2. Help continue to provide a safe community to live, work, and play.

3. Continue to expand and provide public infrastructure. We need to provide our various public service departments the tools and equipment to do their job efficiently and effectively in order to continue to keep our community in the best condition possible.

4. Preserve and cultivate the quality of Britt. Lets make everyone that lives here, proud to live here, and increase the sense of Britt spirit by promoting our community. Help promote and expand our existing businesses along with making sure that we are an attractive community to new businesses.

5. Foster community involvement, communication, and trust by being open and transparent with the business of Britt.

I know that the two-year term for which I am running, is a short time to accomplish these goals but it never hurts to get a good start. I have enjoyed volunteering in Britt these past three years and I have already grown very fond of Britt.

Thank you to the residents of Britt in advance for giving me this chance to serve our community. In best regards for the future.

Klemme Candidates Three positions on the Klemme City Council expire this year. Candidates for city council are incumbents Morris Crotty and Roberta Carolus. David J. Welsh and Kody Trampel are challengers.

Here are their responses to the question: What do see as goals/priorities for the Klemme community for the next 4 years? How do you propose these issues be addressed?

Morris Crotty

I think the first priority is our sewer update to meet the new state requirements. I also think that we need to keep up on our streets and also to keep our water supply at a high standard. We also need to watch our budget and to keep our community in good financial condition.

We have a great community and I am proud to be a part of it.

Roberta Carolus

The most important priority for Klemme is our wastewater treatment facility. We have no choice but to do this to comply with all the new DNR regulations. We have hired Veenstra and Kimm, Inc. to help us with this. Our two most economical options range in price from $0.8 million to $1.4 million.

I do take people’s complaints to the council and will vote “no” if I do not believe something is right for our town.

My goal for the next four years is to help make Klemme a more attractive and safe community for families and all residents.

There is a great foundation and I hope my contributions will help take it to the next level.

possibly help with startup funding.

Kody Trampel

One of my goals for the town of Klemme over the next four years, if elected, is community growth. Growth can be in many ways, whether that is population or business growth. There are many opportunities for affordable housing within the community for the younger generation like myself.

On the other side of growth, with business, there are many empty buildings along Main Street that would be great places for a small business to start up with potential to grow. One way I would address my goal is to propose a new committee within the community

New Materials - Fiction Conley, Susan; Paris Was The Place - When Willie Pears begins teaching at a center for immigrant girls who are all hoping for French asylum, she has no idea it will change her life. As she learns their stories, the lines between teaching and mothering quickly begin to blur. Willie has fled to Paris to create a new family for herself by reaching out to her beloved brother, Luke, and her straight-talking friend, Sara.

She soon falls for Macon, a charming, passionate French lawyer, and her new family circle seems complete. But Gita, a young girl at the detention center, is determined to escape her circumstances, no matter the cost. And just as Willie is faced with a decision that could have potentially dire consequences for both her relationship with Macon and the future of the center, Luke is taken with a serious, as-yet-unnamed illness, forcing Willie to reconcile with her father and examine the lengths we will go to for the people we care the most about Deaver, Jeffery; The October List Gabriela waits desperately for news of her abducted daughter. At last, the door opens. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the negotiators. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the FBI. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kidnapper. And he has a gun.

Kellerman, Faye; The Beast Throughout his years with the LAPD, Peter Decker has handled a number of tough cases and strange killers. But few of his previous assignments compare to his latest caseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the most bizarre of his storied career. When Hobart Penny is found dead in his apartment, the cops think that his pet catâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an adult female tigerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;attacked the reclusive elderly billionaire. But it soon becomes clear that the beast that killed the eccentric inventor is all too human. Digging into the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, Decker and his col-

leagues, Detectives Marge Dunn and Scott Oliver, discover that Penny was an exceptionally peculiar man with exotic tastes.

Perry, Anne; Midnight At Marble Arch - In this superbly accomplished new Charlotte and Thomas Pitt adventure, Anne Perry takes us beneath the glittering surface of wealthy Victorian society into a nightmare world of fear and intimidation, where women are too often blamed for the violent attacks against them, and powerful men take what they want, leaving others to pay the price. The horrifying rape and apparent suicide of Catherine Quixwood, wife of a wealthy merchant banker, falls outside the new jurisdiction of Special Branch head Thomas Pitt, but so pervasively offensive are the rumors about the victim that Pitt quietly takes a hand in the investigation.

White, Stephen; Compound Fractures - The Line of Fire merely set the stage for Compound Fractures. The explosive conclusion to the decades-long saga, Alan is forced to acknowledge that the perils that may bring him to his knees are not the dangers he recognizes, nor are they orchestrated by the nemesis he has long feared. Instead he is confronted by unexpected threats from unanticipated adversaries and by intimate betrayal from those who have been closest to him. He is compelled to reconsider what he has long believed about trust and about love while he is trying to cope with overwhelming loss and grief.

New Materials: Non-Fiction Hitt, Jack; Off the Road. A modern day walk down the pilgrimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s route into Spain - Off the Road is an unforgettable exploration of the sites that people believe God once touched: the strange fortress said to contain the real secret Adam learned when he bit into the apple; the sites associated with the murderous monks known as the Knights Templar; and the places housing relics ranging from a vial of the Virgin Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk to a sheet of Saint Bartholomewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skin. Along the way, Jack Hitt finds himself persevering by day and bunking down by night with an unlikely and colorful cast of fellow pilgrims -- a Flemish film crew, a drunken gypsy, a draconian Belgian air force officer, a man who speaks no languages, a one-legged pilgrim, and a Welsh family with a mule.

NIACC Offers Opportunity to Explore College Options North Iowa Area Community College will host Explore 2014 in the North Iowa Community Auditorium on the NIACC campus on Nov. 6 beginning at 6 p.m. Explore 2014 is designed for high school seniors to explore their options after high school.

High school seniors and their parents are invited to join the faculty and staff on the NIACC campus as they make important decisions about their future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very exciting time for seniors and we want seniors to see firsthand the many wonderful opportunities available at NIACC,â&#x20AC;? said Rachel McGuire, Director of Admissions at NIACC. One of the most popular aspects of the event is the annual NIACC Clubs and Activities Fair that is held at the end of the evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is where we really shine,â&#x20AC;? McGuire said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun for us to showcase our clubs and activities because so many high school students are surprised at the opportunities available to them at NIACC. Students learn what types of activities they can become involved in while on campus and meet students who have similar interests as them.â&#x20AC;?

Explore is more than just learning about why a student should attend NIACC. It also gives them career potential and possibilities that they might not have learned yet. Members of the NIACC faculty will give students a complete picture of their college education as well as potential future endeavors with the different career areas.

Students and parents will attend an opening session on financial aid then choose sessions on areas such as selecting a major, how to be successful in college and specific program areas of study such as teaching, engineering, wind turbine, welding, computers, health care, business and more.

Session information will include the areas of Agriculture; Business; Choosing NIACC First; College Success; Communications & Journalism; Criminal Justice; Education; Engineering; Health Care; Human Services & Social Work; Industrial; Mathematics; Performing & Visual Arts; Science; Social Sciences; and Wellness, Exercise Science & Leisure Services.

4-H is the most recognized youth development organization in our nation, with over 6 million young people involved. In Iowa alone 23, 771 youth participated in 4-H in 2021-2013. Hancock County is home to more than 175 of those 4-H members and nearly 40 4-H volunteers. More than 70 K-3 graders got to participate in Hancock County Clover Kids last year.

Clover Kids is 4-H for the younger grades. They have group meetings where they begin to learn about being great leaders and citizens by doing fun crafts, activities, and more. Traditional 4-H is for youth grades 4-12. They meet with one (or more if they choose) of the 13 clubs in Hancock County. Some clubs meet based on location and some clubs meet based on project. Right now Hancock County hosts seven robotic engineering clubs and one Shooting Sports club.

Many 4-H and Clover Kids activities and events would not be possible without local support. Last year local supporters contributed over $3,000 to the 4-H program. This does not include the $10 per member that MaxYield contributes toward state membership fees.

If you or your business would like to help support 4-H please contact the Hancock County Extension Office at 641-923-2856. 4-H sponsorship levels are: Platinum Sponsor - $200 and above; Gold Sponsor - $100-$199;

Silver Sponsor: $50 - $99; and Bronze Sponsor - $49 and below.

Do you need more facts to be convinced that 4-H is a good investment?

The 4-H program has helped youth have fun while learning valuable life skills for over 100 years. The Tufts Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development has proven 4-H to be beneficial for young people. This research has shown that youth in 4-H: Excel in school and sciences, get better grades; Are committed to improving their communities; Make healthier choices including, eating healthy, exercising more, lower drug, alcohol and cigarette use; Have less depression than peers.

In 2012-2013 the following businesses supported Hancock County 4-H. Their contributions are greatly appreciated. Hancock 4-H is also very grateful for the many businesses, individuals, and community groups who have contributed numerous in-kind donations to the 4-H program.

Quilters Guild The Lake Area Quilters Guild will meet on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. in the Clear Lake City Hall Community Room. Program will be presented by Betty Heginger, The Apron Lady, from Sheffield.

The public is encouraged to attend.

Refreshments will be served.

Autumn Stargazing Program Scheduled Friday, Nov. 1, the Winnebago County Conservation Board is holding an Autumn Stargazing Program at Thorpe Park. The 45-minute program will be held at the entrance to the park, beginning at 7 p.m. During the program, Winnebago County Naturalist Lisa Ralls will give an informal tour of the autumn nighttime sky. Participants will learn how to identify year-round constellations such as the Big and Little Dippers, Draco the Dragon, and Cassiopeia, as well as seasonal constellations such as the fading Summer Triangle and the emerging Taurus the Bull. Fascinating facts about the stars and constellations will also be shared.

The Autumn Stargazing Program will be free and is open to people of all ages. People should bring along a pair of binoculars, if possible, although

some pairs will be available to use that evening. Star charts will also be handed out for people to take home. If skies are cloudy that night, the program will have to be postponed or canceled and that announcement will run on KIOW Radio (FM 107.3), as well as on the WCCB Facebook page and Twitter feed (@WinnebagoCCB). If anyone has any questions about this program, or any of the WCCBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs, they can contact Winnebago County Naturalist Lisa Ralls at 641-565-3390 or at lralls@winnebagoccb.com. $GYHUWLVLQJ LV ZHOO UHDG (YHQ D $IWHU DOO [ \RX DUH UHDGLQJ WKLV DGYHUWLVHPHQW

Old Creamery Theatre visits

Performers from the Old Creamery Theatre visited two local schools last week. The troupe gave a program called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Totally Terrificâ&#x20AC;? at Garner-Hayfield Elementary on Wednesday and at West Hancock Elementary (above) on Thursday. The program featured stories about characters who learn lessons involving the Six Pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. They shared a great message and also gave youngsters an unforgettable experience with live, professional theatre. The Old Creamery Theatre is Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest professional theatre company. The theater is located near the village of Amana. (Leader photo by Sarah Freesemann)

Prison inmates â&#x20AC;&#x153;give backâ&#x20AC;? through Leader Dog Program

By Rebecca Peter The inmates of the Fort Dodge Correctional Facility (FDCF) are there for a variety of crimes. The Leader Dog Program at the prison gives inmates an opportunity to â&#x20AC;&#x153;give backâ&#x20AC;? to society. The program trains dogs for the visually impaired.

James McKinney, acting warden at Fort Dodge, introduced the program at the facility in Rockwell City in 2001. McKinney started the Leader Dog program at Fort Dodge in 2010.

According to Brenda Birchard, Coordinator of FDCF Leader Dog Program, there are currently 66 â&#x20AC;&#x153;handlersâ&#x20AC;? at the Fort Dodge facility. Leroy Seiler and Mark Greiman, formerly of Garner, are two of the puppy handlers at Fort Dodge. Seiler has been incarcerated since 1980.

Mark Greiman since 1999.

Birchard noted, the number of assigned â&#x20AC;&#x153;handlersâ&#x20AC;? fluctuates with the number of puppies ready for training and â&#x20AC;&#x153;sponsorsâ&#x20AC;? for those puppies. (A â&#x20AC;&#x153;sponsorshipâ&#x20AC;? costs $500).

Dogs used in the program are purebred or a mix of one of the three accepted breeds: Labrador retriever, German shepherd or Golden retriever. They enter the Fort Dodge facility at approximately 12 weeks of age to begin training as guides for the blind.

The dog handlers under go training for the program as well. Any of the inmates at FDCF are allowed to attend the training classes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but for one of these men to be assign a puppy, that man must hold and retain the highest behavioral level that this institution expects from them,â&#x20AC;?

Birchard said.

The dogs and their handlers are together for a year. The dogs are taught a series of basic commands (sit, lay, stay, leave it, etc.).

Afterwards the dogs â&#x20AC;&#x153;graduateâ&#x20AC;? to even more intensive training at the Leader Dog Campus in Michigan before they are ready for a career as a dog for the visually impaired.

Lynn Smith and Jim Arnold, Garner Lions Club members, are puppy â&#x20AC;&#x153;sponsors.â&#x20AC;? The Leader Dog program is supported by the Iowa Lions Club organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I found out [Seiler] was a part of the Leader Dog program, I wrote him a letter and started communicating,â&#x20AC;? said Smith. Eventually Smith visited Seiler at the prison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had his dog with him, because when they train the dogs theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re with them 24/7.â&#x20AC;?

Smith attended his first â&#x20AC;&#x153;Puppy Daysâ&#x20AC;? last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program is put on by the inmates,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so impressed with the whole program I decided to sponsor a dog.

I got to name a dog. His name is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Garnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife, Kathy, was a little skeptical about me communicating with someone in prison - much less going to see them.â&#x20AC;? he continued.

Smith got Kathy to go to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Puppy Days event at Fort Dodge, on Aug. 23.

Kathy Smith became an enthusiastic sponsor - only this time, she wanted to pick the name for the dog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like Lynn said, this is something that gets infectious,â&#x20AC;? Jim Arnold stated. Arnoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement began two years ago when he was a trustee for the Lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was fortunate enough to be assigned as the contact for the Leader Dog program in the prison,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the most eye-opening event Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had in my life. I saw we were actually getting something back

from people who are serving time, that will carry on and benefit a lot of lives.â&#x20AC;?

Occasionally a dog just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out as a leader dog. Those dogs are given a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;career changeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (perhaps as a helper dog for a disabled person) and still lead useful lives, Arnold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m extremely proud to support the program,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Another Garner club, the Garner Modern Homemakers, sponsors a Labrador retriever named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Linnsu.â&#x20AC;?

Greater independence District Lions Governor Gary Schriver of Mason City, can personally attest to thoroughness of the training for dogs. Legally blind for 30 years, Schriverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog is Logan, an eight-year-old Labrador.

Leader dogs are an alternative to using a white cane, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a very independent person. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to sit around and wait for people to take me places I need to go or having to ask someone where I have to go.â&#x20AC;?

At first skeptical, Schriver applied for and received a dog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best thing that ever happened to me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are taught to get the blind person to where he needs to go, in the most safe manner possible.â&#x20AC;?

The dog is also trained to evaluate the situation when he gets to the corner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He will basically watch the traffic for me,â&#x20AC;? Schriver said.

Shown how to get to a place just once, Logan will take Gary there - to the grocery store, to the mall or even to a specific store in the mall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can go any place now with this dog and be confident of where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;?Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really amazing.â&#x20AC;?

Because of the Leader Dog Program, it cost Schriver nothing to acquire Logan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I had to buy this dog, it would cost about $40,000.â&#x20AC;?

Benefits to inmates The benefits of the Leader Dog Program to the visually impaired are obvious. But what about for the inmates at Fort Dodge? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel there are a plethora of benefits for these men, but also for those in the community,â&#x20AC;? said Brenda Birchard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some [inmates] have lost a sense of self assurance, but went on to nurture another living creature that went on to guide a visually impaired person, has re-instilled self-confidence into that person that hopefully will enable that person to reenter our community with a positive mindset, making it safer for all who come across their paths.

Birchard has witnessed inmates who upon either receiving a puppy for the first time or saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodbyeâ&#x20AC;? to one, exhibit publically, emotions, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that their court records would testify directly opposite to!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All in all, I feel these precious creatures heal the mind sets of these men more than weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever know,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe while the puppies are residing with us, they are inadvertently guiding these possibly psychologically impaired handlersâ&#x20AC;Śbut upon reentry they will now adhere to the standards that society expects from them - all thanks to a furry four-legged creature.â&#x20AC;?

Cardinals Roll Over Estherville

Heading into Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game with Estherville Lincoln Central, GHV football coach Scott Van Dusseldorp knew his team needed a win to preserve any hopes of qualifying for the playoffs.

The Cardinal team obviously knew the importance of winning as well as GHV played impressively in their final home game of the season. From the beginning there was no doubt about the eventual outcome of the game as the Cards scored on every first half possession on the way to a 30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8 victory over the Midgets.

GHV fans have watched Cardinal kicker Braden Meints begin almost every game by booting the opening kickoff into the opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end zone, but the game had a different start on Friday.

This time Coach Van Dusseldorp decided to show confidence in his defensive unit by trying to catch the Midgets off guard with an onside kick. ELC was able to retain possession after the tactic, but the Cardinal defense came through by forcing the Midgets to punt after gaining only 11 yards on their first possession of the night. GHV then made a big statement offensively as the Cardinals assembled a 16-play drive, marching the ball 95 yards for a touchdown.

Meints capped the drive on a five-yard scoring run but the PAT attempt failed, giving GHV a 6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0 lead late in the first quarter.

The Cards held ELC to three-andout on their next possession and then proceeded to march the ball 54 yards in nine plays for another touchdown.

Meints found the goal line for his second score of the game, this time from nine yards out. The PAT attempt again failed, giving GHV a 12 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0 advantage early in the second quarter.

Esthervilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense had no success on their next possession, managing to gain only two yards against the stingy Cardinal defense. An impressive Midget punt pushed the Cardinal offense into their own territory but GHV continued to show offensive success. The Cards assembled their third scoring drive of the night, moving 71 yards in 10 plays to extend their lead. GHV used their passing game to find the end zone this time as Spencer Shaw found Shawn Murphy for a 19-yard touchdown pass.

Meints followed with the two-point PAT giving the Cards a 20 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0 lead with just under two minutes remaining in the first half.

GHVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense forced the first turnover of the game on the next play from scrimmage as Meints stepped in front of a Midget receiver for a pass interception. The Cards moved into ELCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s red

zone, but with the first half clock rapidly ticking away elected to kick a field goal. Meints split the uprights from 30 yards out, pushing the halftime score to 23 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0.

The Cardinals picked up where they left off as the second half began. GHV opened the third quarter with a 10-play offensive drive that covered 53 yards for another touchdown. Meints got the call again, scoring this time on a oneyard plunge followed by his PAT kick.

With the score now 30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0 early in the second half, the Cardinals were easily in control.

The tempo of the game slowed drastically with Estherville still unable to drive against the Cardinal defense, but the Cardinal offense fumbling away possession on their next two offensive opportunities. ELC did manage to finally find the end zone late in the game to make the final score 30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8.

GHV has lived off of their running game this season and Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game continued that pattern. The Cards finished the night with 360 rushing yards as Braden Meints accumulated 236 yards on 37 carries. Tyler Buck added 52 yards on seven carries, Nic Tusha chipped in 24 yards on five carries and Mark Wellik gained 23 yards on five carries. GHV completed some timely passes as the Cards finished with 39 yards through the air. Shaw completed three of five passes, with Shawn Murphy catching a 19-yard touchdown pass. Allan Devora and Nick Tusha also had receptions for 12 and eight yards respectively.

GHVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense completely denied Estherville any rushing success as the Midgets finished the game with -32 yards on the ground. ELC did manage to gain 147 passing yards in the game but gave up a pair of interceptions in the process. Meints and Colton Knutson each picked off a Midget pass while recording three and two solo tackles each.

Matt Sonquist, Nic Tusha and Logan Miller were each credited with two solos and three assists to lead the Cardinal defensive unit. Zac Scholl and Mark Wellik both added three solo tackles to the effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played a good game,â&#x20AC;? noted Coach Van Dusseldorp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The offensive and defensive line had great games.

Braden Meints ran the ball very well as did all of our backs. This week we finish up the regular season with Forest City. I expect a tough game since Forest City always plays very physical and will come ready to play. We will have to play well if we want to be successful.â&#x20AC;?

GHVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gabe Umbarger(67) leads the way for Braden Meints(12) during the Cards 30-8 win over ELC. Meints led the Cards with 236 yards rushing. (Photo by Rick Ermer) Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win pushes the Cardinal record to 6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2 overall and 3 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2 in Class 2A district play. GHV has secured a playoff appearance with the win, but needs a victory at Forest City on Friday

to improve their playoff seeding.

On Friday, Oct. 18, a Coaches vs. Cancer event was held at the Garner-Hayfield-Ventura Football game. During the event, attendees were asked to show their support for the American Cancer Society by signing the 100th anniversary banner. At half-time the 47-second drill was held. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year in Iowa, 47 people will be diagnosed with cancer ever day. To remember those 47 people we are going to put 47 seconds up on the clock and during that time the cheerleaders will run through the stands with buckets. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s join forces and try to raise as much money as possible in these 47 seconds to beat this disease so no one else ever has to hear the words, You have cancer.â&#x20AC;? Thank you for the Garner-Hayfield-Ventura fans, the Emmetsburg fans, GHV Cheerleaders, AD Matt Graham, Announcer Skip Nevill, Relay Teams â&#x20AC;&#x153;Racing for the Cure,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cardinals for a Cure,â&#x20AC;? and Clear Lake Bank and Trust for their help with this event. Over 175 signatures were collected on the banner, which will be on display at all 2014 Relay events. A total of $556.82 was raised during the 47-second drill.

Jordan Weiland led the Eagleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running game with 78 yards on 15 attempts including one rushing touchdown.

Sonius kept the ball eight times to collect 44 yards, while Roth rushed 34 yards on seven carries for one touchdown and a two-point conversion.

Weiland also led the defense wrapping around for 11 tackles (nine solo and two assists). Trevor Nalan collected eight tackles, while Hejlik and Nelson each had five and Allen Schleuger and Sean Smidt earned four apiece.

The Eagles (0-8) will have one final attempt to earn a W for the 2013 season this Friday on the road against Mason City Newman (3-5).

The CWL Panthers fought a good fight last Friday night in week eight of the football season. CWL took on the North Iowa Bison where they came just five points shy of the victory. The Panthers fell 26-30 to move to 2-7 overall and 1-5 in the district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The effort these kids showed Friday night was phenomenal. They gave us everything they had for 48 minutes.

Unfortunately it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, they played extremely hard and I was proud of the way they played,â&#x20AC;? noted Coach Wagner.

The Panthers led after the furs quarter, 6-0, after Sam Ludwig passed to Grant Carroll for the 16-yard touchdown.

Both teams found paydirt in the second quarter. Ludwig passed to Esden Carroll for a seven-yard touchdown; Grant Carroll caught the conversion to extend the Panther lead 14-6 heading into halftime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a game that we controlled the ball in the first half and came up about a foot from scoring again in the first half as time expired. We battled back from a couple scores down in the 2nd half, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the onside kick or the ball loose in the closing minutes.â&#x20AC;?

The Bison scored twice in the third to take the lead from the Panthers 18-14.

Both teams found the end zone twice in the final quarter.

First, Ludwig ran in a two-yard touchdown. The final Panther TD came when Ludwig passed to John Genrich for a 22 yard score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of those Friday nights that both teams played hard and left everything on the field. It was a fun game to be part of. We had some great hits, which was great to see after playing two powerhouses the last two weeks.â&#x20AC;?

Esden Carroll led the Panther rushing game collecting 112 yards on 31 carries, while Grant Carroll added 28 yards on nine attempts and Ludwig eight yards on seven quarterback keeps.

Ludwig connected for eight completions on 12 attempts for 147 yards. Esden passed twice for one completion and 15 yards.

Grant led the receivers with three catches for 89 yards. Genrich tucked in two passes for 36 yards, while Esden claimed four receptions four 21 yards

Prairie Valley was able to hold the Eagles out of the end zone while scoring twice to take the lead 20-15 at the half.

West Hancock remained stuck at 15 points, while their opponent found paydirt twice more in the third quarter to extend the lead over the Eagles 3615.

Regular season volleyball action has officially concluded for the season and that means the announcement of postseason honors for North Iowa Conference players. Garner-Hayfield/Ventura was represented well with five players being named to various all-conference rosters. Two Cardinals were selected by the NIC coaches to receive first team recognition while two more GHV players earned second team honors. A fifth

Cardinal completed the list of GHV players by earning honorable mention status.

Heading the list of Cardinals on the all-conference rosters was senior middle hitter Emily Mathews. Mathews led the North Iowa Conference at the net with 156 kills and 50 blocks. In addition, Mathews was listed among the leaders in both ace serves (21) and digs (60).

Joining Mathews on the NIC first team roster was senior setter Courtney Younge. Younge was the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top setter with 298 assists and was also among the leaders in ace serves with 17. In spite of spending half of the time in the back row, Courtney was able to rank highly in blocking, finishing league play with 15.

Second team honors were awarded to senior outside hitter Shelby Rayhons

and freshman middle hitter Hannah Lau. Rayhons was a consistent performer for the Cardinals, completing the conference season with 44 kills, 59 digs and eight ace serves. Lau became a strong player at the net, recording 89 kills and 15 blocks in league play.

Earning honorable mention honors for GHV was junior libero Mallory Van Oort. As a defensive specialist, Van Oort accumulated 72 digs in league

play while ranking third on the team in ace serves with 13.

GHV completed regular season NIC play as the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runner up in dual matches with a record of 6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1. The Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; highlight of the season was defeating NIC champion Lake Mills in

the conference tournament semi-finals before dropping the championship match to Forest City in five sets.

A complete listing of the North Iowa Conference all-conference rosters follows.

Five Cardinals Earn NIC Volleyball Honors

Cards Win Title at GHV Volleyball Tourney Last week marked the end of regular season play for high school volleyball teams and it was a great week of action for the GHV squad. The Cardinals traveled to Rockford on Tuesday where they swept the Warriors in a non-conference dual match. GHV then hosted a season-ending tournament on Saturday where they outclassed the competition.

The Cardinals went through the day losing only one set on the way to winning the championship.

GHV has been playing some very good volleyball in recent weeks and Rockford was not able to compete with the Cardinals on Tuesday. After pulling away for a 25 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 15 win in the first set of the dual, the Cards easily completed the sweep with wins of 25 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 12 and 25 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 10 in games two and three.

Strong serving has been a trademark for the Cards this season and the GHV girls continued that trend at Rockford.

Courtney Younge finished the night with an ace on 18 of 18 serves while Mallory Van Oort was also perfect in 16 attempts. Miranda Frederick added an ace on seven of seven serves and Emily Mathews scored two aces on 10 of 11 serves. Emily Spilman also had a strong performance at the serve line connecting on eight of nine serves.

Mathews score eight kills with nine digs to lead GHV on the night. Shel-

by Rayhons followed with four kills and five digs while Hannah Lau and Mackenzie Van Gerpen chipped in 12 and four kills respectively. Courtney Younge was credited with 21 assists in the match.

Cardinal coach Kelsey Steffens commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rockford put up a solid block which provided our hitters with excellent opportunities to cut and tip aggressively. Our goal is to keep fine-tuning our game as we head into tournament play.â&#x20AC;?

GHV continued to fine-tune their game on Saturday through pool play and bracket play of the Cardinal Volleyball Tournament. The Cardinals added five match victories to their won-loss record on the day with the five wins being earned on four sweeps.

The Cardinals opened the day against Central Springs where GHV posted wins of 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8 and 23 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 21. Courtney Young played a strong match finishing with three aces on 11 of 11 serves to go with 16 assists. Miranda Frederick scored an ace on six of six serves with four digs while Mallory Van Oort added three digs and nine of nine serves.

Emily Mathews led GHV at the net with nine kills followed by Hannah Lau, Mackenzie Van Gerpen and Shelby Rayhons all with three kills.

GHVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Courtney Younge sets for the Cards during their 3-0 win over Rockford. Younge led the Cards with 21 assists on the night.

(Photo by Rick Ermer) play was Mason City Newman. The Knights have had a tough season recording only one match victory to date, meaning the Cards should be in for an easy win. That was the case as GHV almost recorded a shutout in the first set before winning 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3. The Cards then cruised to a 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 13 win in game two.

Shelby Rayhons scored an ace on 10 of 10 serves with three digs and two kills to lead GHV in the win. Courtney Younge was credited with 10 assists and four digs while Emily Mathews chipped in five kills and three digs.

Hannah Lau scored seven kills and Mallory Van Oort served perfectly in five attempts.

Northwood-Kensett provided the strongest challenge for GHV on the day as the Cardinals needed a third game to pick up the match win. After cruising to a 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 12 win in game one against the

Vikings, N-K surprised their hosts with a 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 12 win in game two. That may have served a wake up call to the Cardinals as they handled N-K 15 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 6 in the third set.

Mallory Van Oort and Miranda Frederick were both perfect at the serve line in eight and six attempts. Emily Mathews scored on nine kills to lead GHV at the net followed by Mackenzie Van Gerpen with four, Shelby Rayhons with three and Sola Stephenson also with three. Courtney Younge recorded 15 assists against the Vikings.

In bracket play, GHV faced West Fork in a semi final match. The Cardinals controlled the match, defeating the Warhawks with scores of 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 14 and 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 15. Five Cardinals were perfect at the serve line in this match. Mallory Van Oort connected on nine serves, GHV VB to page 17

The CWL Panther volleyball team played their final two matches of the regular season and school history last week. The Panthers fell to both CCE last Tuesday and NEH on Thursday.

CWL opened the week with a 0-3 performance against Clay Central Everly 18-25, 11-25, 20-25, before dropping an 0-3 decision to Northeast Hamilton 17-25, 15-25, 19-25.

Starr Haler led the defense with 11 digs, adding three aces and two assists, while Jordan Nygaard added two kills,

two aces and four digs for the Panthers.

“We finished our conference competition against CCE where I thought we played hard and did a better job controlling the ball on serve receive,” said Coach Wagner. “We set the ball up more which means we had good passing. The girls communicated well on the court. It was nice to see the girls finish the conference playing hard and having fun.”

CWL’s final home game last Thursday also marked senior night and the final home volleyball game in the Panther gym ever.

Jessica Nielsen led the offense with four kills. Nielsen also led in aces with five and dug up seven balls against NEH.

Haler added two kills and led in digs with McPeak at eight apiece, while Kara Hauswirth led in assists with five.

Hauswirth also put down three aces on a perfect 13/13 serving performance and dug up five attacks.

“The girls played hard and our scores reflect that. We again did a great job on serve receive and our passing was good. Some girls had some excellent serving plays as well. This game was a great way to end the regular season playing hard and playing together as a team,” praised Coach Wagner.

The Panthers finished the regular season 0-21 overall and will play the winner between North Iowa and Bishop-Garrigan on Tuesday, October 29 at 7:00 in Algona.

The announcement was made by the NIACC Board of Trustees during the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business meeting Thursday evening.

Schulz attended the meeting with his wife Cathie and daughters Lindsey and Caitlyn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so pleased to have Dr. Schulz as our incoming president,â&#x20AC;? said Board President Toni Noah. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very important day for the College.â&#x20AC;?

After the announcement, Schulz signed his new contract, which begins Dec. 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so excited for this next step,â&#x20AC;? he said during a break from the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the beginning, this just felt like the perfect choice for me and my family.â&#x20AC;?

Noah said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could not have been more pleased with the selection we had before us. Our consultant, Dr. Larry Ebbers did a wonderful job bringing us terrific applicants and helping us through this process. Now, we look forward to working with our new president.â&#x20AC;?

GARNER â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The staff and residents at Concord Care Center and Cardinal Grove welcome our new Director of Nursing, Laura Studer, BSN, RN, to the team.

We are pleased she decided to continue her career as a Nurse at our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Garner, as Laura is a native of Garner.

Laura started in the nursing field as Certified Nursing Assistant at Concord Care Center from 2000 to 2004. This particular job at Concord made her choose Nursing as her career. Laura graduated from Garner-Hayfield High School in 2003. She then attended Mount Mercy College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa from 2003 to 2007 and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in 2007.

After obtaining her BSN, Laura worked at Mercy Medical Center North Iowa in Mason City on the 4 West Surgical Oncology unit from August 2006 to July 2012 as Registered Nurse and was promoted to Clinical Nurse Leader for the last year and a half. She decided to be closer to home and worked at Hancock County Memorial Hospital in Britt as a Medical/Surgical and Emergency Room Nurse from July 2012 to September 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am thrilled to be back working at Concord Care Center where I originally discovered my passion for helping others and my chosen career of nursing.

I have been extremely impressed by the facility and what they have to offer their residents and also with the dedication and teamwork present among the staff members,â&#x20AC;? says Laura Studer, new Director of Nursing at Concord Care Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of my ties to Garner, I am also really looking forward to the community involvement opportunities with this new position.â&#x20AC;?

Currently, Laura lives in Britt with her husband, Josh Studer and their 2 1/2 year old son, Wesley. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends.

The Concord team is excited about the ideas Laura is bringing to our care center. Her ambition and excitement is certainly easy to see. Laura has an open door policy, so please stop by her office if you have questions or concerns. We encourage all families, friends, volunteers and our community to come and introduce yourself to Laura Studer.

By Sarah Freesemann A component of to the Affordable Care Act in health insurance was launched Oct. 1. This component is the ability to shop and enroll on the Federal Marketplace for individual and small business insurance plans.

The Federal Marketplace, also referred to as the health insurance â&#x20AC;&#x153;exchange,â&#x20AC;? is a new tool for those purchasing their own health insurance plans individually for their small business with 1-50 full-time equivalent employees.

Detailed information and access to the application using the Marketplace can be found at www.healthcare.gov. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Health care insurance has been revolutionized,â&#x20AC;? noted Rennae Padderud of Insurance and Financial Solutions in Britt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will allow people to make some life choices they were unable to make before regarding things such as retirement or starting a business. People will be able to choose their own health insurance instead of the health insurance companies choosing them.â&#x20AC;?

The following are some of the changes to health insurance coverage and new ways to purchase it. â&#x20AC;˘Guaranteed issue and renewable coverage. Meaning no one can be denied coverage for medical reasons and there are no lifetime limits on how

much the insurance company will pay in benefits. â&#x20AC;˘Product Standardization. All health qualified plans must contain 10 essential health benefits such as maternity and newborn care, mental health, pediatric vision etc. â&#x20AC;˘Subsidies and tax credits are now available to help with the cost of premiums for those eligible. For those not eligible, other options are now available in addition to the ones on the marketplace and SHOP (Small Group Health Options Program.), which would be compliant with the affordable care act provisions. â&#x20AC;˘If enrolled before December 15, 2013 coverage begins January 1, 2014.

The deadline for those uninsured or looking to shop around and change their plans for coverage in 2014 is March 31, 2014. There will be penalties for most uninsured in 2014 according to the Affordable Care Act. A good way to avoid them is to enroll in one of the new Affordable Care Act approved plans. Padderud noted that Information continues to be updated, so it is important to make sure to have the latest information for your own situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important to work with a professional who can guide you in the process, if help is needed, as it may seem overwhelming,â&#x20AC;? she stated.

We pride ourselves on being an innovator and first to market, and these are prime examples of that process. We have had six consecutive quarters of increased sales order backlog.

Supreme Court rules against further review of Seiler case GARNER - The Iowa Supreme Court has ruled against further review of the sentence of a former Garner man. Leroy S. Seiler is serving a life sentence at the Fort Dodge Correctional Facility for the 1982 murder of Wilmer Giles.

The Supreme Court issued the order to deny further review on Oct. 9.

In July, the Iowa Court of Appeals upheld a decision in Hancock County District Court to deny an appeal filed

by Leroy S. Seiler, formerly of Garner.

Wilmer Giles was found beaten to death in his tavern on March 6. 1982.

Seiler, who was 19 at the time, was convicted of first degree murder and has been serving a life sentence for the conviction.

Seiler claimed the mittimus issued following his sentence states he is to be committed to the department of corrections for the rest of his life less 134 days

for time spent in jail prior to sentencing.

Seiler claimed the sentence is inherently flawed because he cannot be given credit for the 134 days he spent in jail prior to sentencing because he is committed until his death. He also argued the failure to credit him these 134 days is a violation of his right to due process and equal protection.

The Court of Appeals concluded the sentence is not illegal or unconstitutional as he would be granted credit in the event his sentence is commuted to a term of years. The court also concluded the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Seiler a restitution hearing.

First degree murder is a Class A felony, and carries a sentence of life without parole. Release is only possible if the governor commutes the sentence to term of years.

Ventura Council Accepts Hwy. 18 Water Main Project Teresa Stroesser, Dominique Forte and Caitlyn Kinney, students at Waldorf College, were among the visitors Pilot Knob State Park, Sunday, and enjoy the view of fall foliage from the tower.

Pilot Knob tower undergoes makeover

By Rebecca Peter If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been to Pilot Knob State Park recently, here are some reasons to make the trip. A number of improvements have been made at the park in recent years, according to Deb Coates, DNR park ranger. The trees around the tower were cleared in 2010 to open up the view. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trees had grown so tall that they blocked 80 percent of the view,â&#x20AC;? said Coates.

This summer the tower (originally built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps) was tuck-pointed, received a new doorframe and cap. The bottom of the support beams that were rotting, were cut off and cement supports were poured to support the beams. Graffiti was sand blasted off the tower.

Other park improvements include having the four entrance portals to the park tuck-pointed and new caps were put on. The amphitheater was sand-

blasted, tuck-pointed, a wall was reinforced, and new seat pedestals were built to replace the broken and missing ones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are now in the process of getting a new shower built, dump station, and camp host site,â&#x20AC;? Coates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project should be completed by the start of the 2014 camping season.â&#x20AC;?

Pilot Knob State Park is located about 4 miles east of Forest City in Hancock and Winnebago County. According to

the Iowa Department of Natural Resources website, Pilot Knob State Park is one of the oldest units in the state park system. The park was dedicated in 1923.

Standing atop the tower on Pilot Knob, the second highest point in Iowa, visitors have a spectacular view. In earlier times, pioneers used the Pilot Knob as a guide as they traveled west in covered wagons, giving the park its name.

G-H CSD from page 1 year. If the proposed merger fails, there is a six-month wait before it can be put to a vote again.

Resolution of Intent Upon adjournment from joint session with Ventura, the Garner-Hayfield board approved a resolution of intent to pursue reorganization with the Ventura Consolidated School District. The Garner-Hayfield board voted to hire attorney Rick Engel, Des Moines, to proceed with the possible reorganization process.

Similar items were on the agenda at

regular meeting of the Ventura Board of Education on Monday, Oct. 21.

Reports Curriculum reports for October included an overview of visual arts and Talented and Gifted program from Deb Hill. Hill discussed how the arts could be part of an interdisciplinary program.

Hill is the faculty advisor for the high school mock trial program.

Amy Ewert, Katie Gaffney and Ashley Young discussed the 5th and 6th grade reading enrichment programs.

Jim Haag, high school principal, reported the regular season for fall sports

is winding down and heading into tournament play. Fifty-five students are participating the fall play. The high school marching band received II at state conference, although the rating was somewhat controversial.

Elementary principal Cindy Yakelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reported on recent safety drills. The Old Creamery Theatre from UNI performed at the elementary school on Wednesday for a Character Counts assembly.

High school students reading to elementary students during homecoming week were a huge hit, Yakel said.

Student enrollment for the GarnerHayfield School District for 2013-14 appears to be up slightly. The total number of resident students is 798.65 (up 13.67). The total number of students served by the Garner-Hayfield School District is 841.15 (up 14.87 students).

Williams discussed the need for another full-time custodian at the elementary building. The board gave permission to advertise the position.

The board tabled action on increasing services provided by Accelerated Rehabilitation to student athletes. Currently Accelerated Rehabilitation is under contract for home games.

In other action, the Garner-Hayfield Board of Education: â&#x20AC;˘Granted permission for a trip by the Spanish class on an every other year

basis, starting in June of 2014. Last month, Spanish language teachers Katrina Klooser (high school) and June Bahnsen (7-8 Spanish) asked about the possibility of high school Spanish II, II and IV students taking a trip to Spain in June. The tentative dates are June 3-10.

The teachers will see what kind of interest there is in a trip. â&#x20AC;˘Approved a change of the salary schedule lane for Lori Griesert form BA+24 to BA+36. â&#x20AC;˘Reduced the contract of Elizabeth May, who is on leave, from 1.0 FTE for the fall drama production to .5 FTE. Scott Wood, who is assisting May, was hired at .5 FTE for the fall play. â&#x20AC;˘Voted to not offer an early retirement benefit this year.

By Rebecca Peter VENTURA - The Ventura City Council approved a resolution of the Highway 18 Water Main Repair Project. The council met Oct. 14.

McKinness Excavating of Mason City was contractor. The council approved final payment of $41,346.87 to McKinness. The water main break occurred in May. Mike Quinn, public works director, is completing out the main meter and value on the city well. Street sweeping is being done on a regular schedule in an effort to keep ahead of the fall leaves.

Quinn has ordered a supply of heavyduty blades for the winter. Alliant Energy has replaced some light poles with LED lights.

A new light for the flagpole has been ordered and is pending installation, he said.

Public Forum The council heard from Scott Peder-

son and Larry Shaffer during the public forum portion of the meeting.

Scott Pederson asked when the next meeting of the Ventura Protective Association will be and when the fire protection contracts will be discussed.

Councilman John Quintus said that the next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 31.

Larry Shaffer asked if the city initially made the proposal to take over the fire department.

The fire department made the initial request, city attorney John Sorenson, responded.

Sorenson noted, although the transition of ownership is being contemplated by the Ventura Protective Association, nothing at this point in time is assured.

Shaffer told the council he appreciated the removal of the permanent stop signs near the school. It made it nice for farmers hauling grain into town this year, he said.

but would need a repeat performance to win the tournament. That task proved to be no problem for the Cards as they posted wins of 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 11 and 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 15.

Emily Spilman had a great match at the serve line, recording four aces on 10 of 10 serves. Mallory Van Oort also served perfectly in six attempts. Emily Mathews and Hannah Lau each scored five kills and Courtney Younge added 15 assists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This past week of practice weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on being aggressive on out of systems balls,â&#x20AC;? noted Coach Steffens. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I am very proud of the girls and their win at the home tournament.â&#x20AC;?

The Cardinals completed the regular season with an impressive record of 24 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7. They will be idle this week in preparation for their first round Class 3A regional tournament match. The Cards will host Clear Lake on October 28 in a regional quarterfinal contest with the winner to face Forest City on October 31.

Two Towns, Two Chili Contests...

Britt Chamber announces Chili and Salsa Contest Winners The Britt Chamber of Commerce held the 9th Annual Chili & Salsa Cook Off Friday, Oct. 18, prior to the home football game. There were 13 chili entries and 10 salsa entries across three categories (mild, spicy & unique).

Roughly 190 patrons attended to sample, judge and fill their bowls with their favorites.

The traveling trophy for best table display went to the Titanium Lunchbox. First place winners for various categories were: Farmers Trust & Savings Bank (mild chili), Titanium Lunchbox (spicy chili), Kelly Real Estate (unique chili), Pritchard Auto (mild salsa), West Hancock Schools (hot salsa), and First State Bank (unique salsa).

First second and third place for the chili and salsa categories were: Chili Mild: 1. Farmers Trust and Savings Bank, 2. Britt Fire Department and 3. (tie) First State Bank and Craig and

Who left the lights on?

How many times do you walk in a room where the lights are on but no one is there? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so easy to flip the switch and yes, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spoiled by the instant light. I wonder what it was like to light a lamp, clean a lamp, carry a lamp, when you needed light. And if the electricity goes off and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re left in the dark, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it one bit.

Lights are a simple place to start the energy use conversation with your kids.

Have the kids go through the house and count all the ceiling lights and lamps.

Then put a glass jar labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;lightsâ&#x20AC;? and a dish of paper clips or pennies on the kitchen counter. Every time someone turns off a light she puts a penny in the jar. Every time Mom or Dad enter an empty room and find a light left on, they take a penny out of the jar. Try this activity for a week and see how full the jar gets. This is a visible way for everyone to keep track of this habit.

Another idea is to take the kids with you to the store to look at light bulbs.

Help them compare incandescent, fluorescent and LED products. The kids will be amazed at the options. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t started converting light bulbs, decide as a family where to begin.

Maybe the kids will want to try new products in their rooms.

What have you done in your family to tackle the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lights left onâ&#x20AC;? problem?
