Solheim is Independent candidate for County Attorney David Solheim was appointed in February of 2013 as Hancock County Attorney to fill the unexpired term of Karen Kaufman.

Solheim is now running for election as Hancock County Attorney as an Independent candidate. He is unopposed in the Nov. 4, General Election.

The Leader asked Solheim to share his goals for the office as well as some of challenges and accomplishments since being appointed Hancock County Attorney.

•Why are you running as an Independent candidate?

I’m running as an independent because I view the County Attorney [office] as a non-partisan office. The judicial process should be blind to party politics, just as it should be blind to race, religion, and socioeconomic status. Every person who walks through the court doors should feel assured that they will be treated fairly and that their case will be judged on

the merits alone.

•What are your goals for the Hancock County Attorney’s office?

My primary goal is fairness—to treat similarly situated defendants the same. Although the law allows a judge to take individual circumstances into consideration at sentencing, my goal is to make the charging and case management decisions based solely upon application of the facts to the law. I can rarely control the judge’s sentencing decision, but I can ensure that the case is handled fairly and impartially by my office.

My secondary goal is to handle cases as quickly as possible. Many county attorneys allow cases to sit open for a year or more. I try to close the vast majority within six months or less. This approach has the benefit of keeping witnesses and evidence fresh and allows for greater certainty for both the defendant and the victims in moving on with their lives.

David Solheim •Since taking office in February of 2013, what has been your biggest challenge? Your most satisfying accomplishment?

The biggest challenge was Hancock County’s recent conversion to the Electronic Document Management System. Legal filings used to be handled entirely on paper. In order to file a charge against a defendant, I had to draft

the trial information and minutes of testimony, sign the documents, track down a judge for the judge’s signature, and physically file them with the clerk of court. Now we submit everything electronically. I can press a button on my computer and the documents whiz into cyber space to initiate the judicial process. This system is much more efficient but much less personal.

The most recent jury trial conviction is always the most satisfying. There’s nothing quite like winning a jury trial. I love this part of my job.

•Other comments: Gatsby (my wife) and I would like to thank everyone in Hancock County for the warm welcome and continued support as we get settled in the community. After coming from a big city, everyone here seems so friendly and helpful. It has been a wonderful experience.

We’re looking forward to the next term.

Studebaker automobile fan for life Rebecca Peter

gleadernews@qwestoffice.net GARNER – On the road trip that is Tony Urich’s life, the Studebaker automobile has been a fixture.

Studebaker autos were manufactured from 1902 until 1964. The rural Garner man has a collection of three vintage Studebaker autos and one Studebaker truck.

“Studebakers have been a part of my life since birth,” Urich said. “I was brought home from the hospital in a Studebaker. My dad [Clement Urich] was a devout Studebaker car enthusiast all his life and was not willing to change brands when Studebaker stopped production of the vehicles in 1964.”

Tony noted his father started locating and purchasing cars around the area to accumulate parts cars and decent non-running cars to insure that he could continue driving his Studebakers.

“As a child I would sit in these cars and pretend driving them,” he recalled.

“When I came of age to start driving to school, dad told me if I got one of the many cars stored throughout the trees running, he would license it for me.”

Tony’s first car was a 1959 Lark with a V-8 engine and 3-speed overdrive.

“This lasted through my junior year [of high school] when I acquired our 1962 Lark.”

After graduating from Garner-Hayfield in 1974, Urich enlisted in the Army. He needed a vehicle to drive to

Colorado Springs.

“My brother’s 1961 Hawk was available,” he said. “He was trying to fix some rusted areas on the front fenders, but farming wasn’t allowing him the time. I bolted the fenders back on, test drove it and the next day threw my bags in the trunk for the 850 mile trip to Colorado.”

That 1961 Hawk was Tony’s favorite car. The car was white with a red interior, a Studebaker 289 CI engine with 4-barrel carburetor, a four-speed shift on the floor and a twin traction differential.

“It was a real eye turner with its styling and those fins,” he noted. “I sold this car when I was transferred to Germany in 1976. When I returned home from the service most of the cars that were rusting in peace had been taken to the crusher.”

“With the farm being mostly a dairy operation there was little time for any further restoration of the remaining vehicles,” he said.

Tony and his wife Sue were married in1982. Matt was born in 1984 and Drew in 1986. Between careers and raising a family, there was little time and money to spend on cars.

In 1989 Tony’s grandmother, Albina Urich, was no longer able to drive her 1952 Champion Starlight Coupe.

He became the owner of the car and joined the Studebaker Drivers Club and the Iowa Hawkeye Chapter Studebaker Drivers.

In 2003 he acquired a 1963 GT Hawk.

Supervisors support Home Base Iowa GARNER – Hancock County supervisors signed a resolution supporting the Home Base Iowa Initative during the Sept. 29 meeting.

Home Base Iowa is a non-profit, public-private partnership to match military veterans with available jobs. The initiative was launched by Governor Terry Branstad.

The initiative consists of two programs: Home Base Iowa Businesses and Home Base Iowa Communities.

The resolution encourages Hancock County to become a Home Base Iowa Community and Home Base Iowa Business.

Ed Berg, Hancock County Economic Development Director, stated, Home Base Iowa is a “win-win” for veterans and employers.

“We think it’s important because its another avenue to find workers for the employers here in Hancock County.”

Berg said becoming a certified Home Base Iowa county would allow Hancock County to be a part of the Iowa program. “We would be on the Iowa program and be on the Iowa website and the promotions they do. We would also be eligible to send companies or representatives of Hancock to military bases the state uses to recruit potential employees to the county.”

Berg said the goal is to get at least 10 percent of major employers agree to be Home Base Iowa employers.

“They agree to list their jobs on the Iowa website as well as our own,” Berg said. Home Base Iowa business are asked to make a pledge of how many veterans they would like to hire by 2018.

Berg noted the financial assistance for half the cost for developing and promoting the county’s Home Base Iowa program will come from a grant from the Hancock County Foundation.

“I think we’ll be pretty successful in getting this accomplished,” he stated.

Supervisor Jerry Tlach noted veterans have a good work ethic, and many

have young families. Hancock County is looking for good workers to fill the manufacturing jobs that are being advertised.

County supervisors signed two other proclamations recognizing special events in October.

The board signed a proclamation declaring Oct. 3, 2014 as National Manufacturing Day. Hancock County is the home of many manufacturing companies that are vitally important to the prosperity of the county, according to the proclamation.

The board also declared their support for National 4-H Week, Oct. 5-11. Four members of the Hancock County 4-H Council – Kiersten Jass, Trevor Kluver, Nathan Nedved, and Nicole Burgardt – were present for the signing.

Other recent action by Hancock County supervisors includes the following: •Signed an agreement to provide employee consulting services with Kingsgate Solutions.

•Signed a federal aid agreement for a highway bridge replacement project between sections 5 and 6 in Bingham Township. The project will be a 80/20 split between federal and local funding. The projected cost of the bridge replacement is $300,000. Hancock County anticipates $240,000 in federal dollars.

•Approved a universal payment voucher for payment in the amount of $25,948 from the Farm-to-Market fund to Century Link for telephone cable relocation.

“This is probably my favorite car to drive because its styling is so unique and it attracts so much attention while on the road,” Urich continued. “Since this purchase I have acquired numerous other vehicles in varying state of repair.”

Urich’s Studebaker collection includes: a 1948 Champion Deluxe 4 door, a 1955 Champion Conestoga Wagon, two 1963 Lark Wagonaires, and a 1964 Champ pickup. The 1949 1½ ton farm truck was used to haul grain and livestock is stored in the barn.

Urich does most of the mechanical work on the cars. He is trying to improve his skills in bodywork.

There are about 12,000 members registered in the Studebaker Drivers Club internationally. About 100 members belong to an Iowa chapter.

“With this many members we have a very good outlet for parts and vendors,” he said. Tony attends a Swap Meet in South Bend, Ind., the home of Studebaker, annually to get parts.

“I try to attend the week-long annual International Studebaker Meets throughout the US and our local five state zone meets, along with our monthly chapter meetings that are hosted at different locations around the state.

Urich served as secretary to the Iowa chapter for about 6 years before being elected president. He served two years as president and is currently in his second year as vice president.

er decided to end production of cars in the United States. Canada continued to produce the Lark models through 1966, but was also forced to close down.”

“One wonders what the Studebaker would have evolved into if they were still in business today,” he added.

Does Urich plan to add to his collection?

He replied, “Not at the moment, but one never knows when a good deal may come along!”

Memorial Service Planned for Those who have Experienced Early Pregnancy Loss MASON CITY -- The Mercy Medical Center – North Iowa Birth Center will conduct its Annual Memorial Service for families who have experienced a pregnancy loss.

The service, open to parents, family members and friends, of anyone that has had a pregnancy loss, will be held on Wednesday, October 15, 2014, at 5:30 p.m. at the Fullerton Funeral Home, 123 2nd SE in Mason City. Following the memorial service, a prayer service will be held at the Elmwood – St. Joseph Cemetery in Mason City.

Anyone who has had a loss at any gestation and at any time, even prior to this past year, are welcome to attend. “It is our desire to continue giving support to those families with current and past losses at any gestation,” said Andrea Campbell, RN, Bereavement Coordinator at Mercy

Birth Center and one of the organizers of the event.

Mercy Birth Center and Mercy Mission Services began establishing a bereavement program for patients who have experienced a pregnancy loss at any stage of gestation.

However, babies delivered before 20 weeks of gestation have been interred in cemetery lots purchased by Mercy – North Iowa. A monument has been placed to designate the memorial area.

“Our prayer is that this service will assist people who have experienced this type of loss in their journey of life, to bring comfort by saying good-bye, and to find closure, healing and hope for the future,” Campbell said.

Those wishing to attend are asked to call 641-428-7213 with approximate number of people attending.

Don’t forget -

Farm vehicles need a lot of space to turn.

You may see them, but they may not see you.

Practice safety by using caution on the road when passing slow moving farm vehicles.

It’s A Strange New World Well this is an unusual problem.

Too many things to write about this week. Time for some bite-sized commentary on each topic.

Windows 10?

Microsoft has announced that the successor to Windows 8 will be…

Windows 10.

Why? Well, nobody knows.

There are many theories abound.

Some have suggested that there’s a technical issue involving legacy code from Windows 95 and Windows 98 that would make “Windows 9” annoyingly complicated for its developers. Others wonder if it’s because reception to Windows 8 was so bad that Microsoft don’t want their next operating system to be so closely associated with it.

Some claim that Microsoft is trying to break the Windows curse.

Much like Star Trek movies, every other version of Microsoft Windows has been a disaster for quite some time. People loved Windows 98, but hated Windows ME. They loved Windows XP, but hated Windows Vista. They loved Windows 7, but hated Windows 8.

Perhaps there is a curse. Perhaps Steve Jobs, jealous of their ability to resize windows by grabbing anywhere on the frame, used his dark magic to create suffering for PC users. In that case, messing with the numbering might cause the evil demon responsible for the Metro design to get confused and end the curse forever, no longer sure which version of Windows it’s supposed to ruin.

If that’s true than good for Microsoft.

On the other hand, it’s also possible that the “curse” is the result of Microsoft having no idea what people want from their operating systems, causing them to release a terrible product, only to turn around

and release the same product again minus everything people didn’t like about it.

Which is exactly what happened with Windows Vista and Windows 7. And judging from the fact that the very first thing Microsoft says about Windows 10 is that it’s bringing back the Start Menu, is what’s happening here as well.

In that case, changing the numbering won’t help anything, but at least odds are good that Windows 10 won’t be terrible.

Tetris: The Movie If you thought that Hollywood hit the bottom of the barrel when they made the “Battleship” movie, you were mistaken. This week it was announced that Threshold Entertainment will be developing a movie based on “Tetris.”

Yes. That “Tetris.”

Falling blocks, Russian backgrounds, and catchy music “Tetris.”

Threshold Chairman Larry Kasanoff wants to turn the beloved video game into an “epic sci-fi story.”

And I will see this movie.

I will absolutely see this movie, if only to witness the storytelling alchemy required to conjure a plot out of falling blocks.

I mean, even “Battleship” has a tiny sliver of a narrative to draw inspiration from, even if the movie whittled it down to “ships shooting at things.” What can you possibly make out of “Tetris?”

half a century, there was no Saturday morning cartoon block to be found anywhere on network television.

The tradition of Saturday Morning Cartoons has been in decline for years. Once upon a time, Saturday mornings were the only place for new cartoons to broadcast. Today, cable channels have freed them from that limited timeslot. “Star Wars: Rebels,” premiered last week, not on Saturday morning, but on Friday night primetime.

My childhood was defined by the cartoons on CBS, ABC, and Fox, but all three networks have long since abandoned the practice. Up until last week, the CW’s “Vortexx” block was the last man standing, airing re-runs of “Justice League Unlimited,” “Spectacular Spider-Man,” and Dragon Ball Z Kai,” among some newer shows I don’t recognize.

Of course the loss of the Saturday Morning Cartoon block is really a forbearer to the ultimate end of programming blocks in general.

The idea of watching television on somebody else’s schedule is rapidly becoming as outdated a concept as the home phone or the printed encyclopedia.

I may lament the loss of such a beloved childhood tradition, but in the end we’re all in a better place now.

Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and had to go uphill, both ways, in the snow, to watch Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles when he was growing up.

QUESTION: My mom is 78 years old and lives alone. Recently she has been having trouble sleeping, seems very irritable, and has lost interest in her favorite hobbies – like baking and playing cribbage. Should I be worried about these recent changes in her behavior? ANSWER by Kasie Christensen, Psychiatric RN, BSN, Program Director for Senior Life Solutions, a program dedicated to addressing the emotional and behavioral health of adults over the age of 65 at Hancock County Memorial Hospital.

It sounds like your mother may be suffering from depression. Depression is a psychological illness that impacts millions of Americans each and every year. The National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that nearly seven percent of adults in the United States suf-

2015 Medicare Part D Plans Announced Time for a Check-Up

DES MOINES - October is the month for Iowans on Medicare to start their annual Part D check-up. During this month Medicare announces its prescription drug plans (Part D) for 2015. “Iowa will have 29 stand alone drug plans in 2015, compared to 32 for 2014,” says Kris Gross from the Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP). “It is very important that Iowans do a Part D check-up and see if their current plans will still provide the best coverage for 2015.”

There have been several plan changes which will impact Iowans.

Seven plans were dropped and four new plans were added. Thirteen plans show reduced premiums and thirteen plans increased theirs. The lowest premium will be $15.70.

None of the plans cover brand name drugs in the coverage gap, but several cover generic drugs. There are five plans which are available at $0 for people who qualify for the full Part D extra help.

The maximum Part D deductible for 2015 is $320. The coverage gap is reached when total drug costs (what you and the plan pay) equal $2,960. You get out of the coverage gap when your out-of-pocket drug costs equal $4,700.

Every Part D plan offering a plan in 2015 must send an Annual Notice of Change to plan members by September 30, 2014. This notice explains formulary (drugs covered), benefit and premium changes for 2015. It is very important to watch for this notice and read it carefully.

You may be able to save a lot of money by changing plans for 2015.

Anyone whose plan will not be available in 2015 should receive

a plan termination letter by Oct. 2. Those who have drug coverage through an employer provided plan must receive a notice by Oct. 15 telling if their coverage for 2015 is at least as good as Medicare’s. This is called a creditable coverage notice.

By Oct. 15 you will be able to go to www.medicare.gov and do a comparison of the Medicare drug plans available for next year. This Internet tool can help you decide if you want to stay with your current plan or switch to a plan that better meets your needs for the next year.

If you don’t use a computer consider asking family members to help you, go to your local public library or call SHIIP. SHIIP is a free, confidential service of the State of Iowa with counselors available across the state to help you compare Medicare drug plans. For Hancock County, call SHIIP Counselor Ron Kindwall at 641-923-3269 for an appointment.

To find a site near you in other counties, you can call 1-800-351-4664 (TTY 1-800-735-2942) or go to www.therightcalliowa.gov.

Should you choose to change plans, you must enroll in the new plan between Oct. 15 – Dec. 7, 2014.

During this same period you can enroll in a Medicare prescription drug (Part D) plan if you missed the enrollment deadline earlier this year.

SHIIP counselors can assist you with enrollment in a Part D plan also. If you’re happy with the plan you have and how they will be covering your drugs next year, you don’t need to do anything. Your enrollment will continue into next year.

Halloween Hike at Lime Creek The Cerro Gordo County Conservation Board and Lime Creek Nature Center Foundation are sponsoring their twenty-eighth annual Halloween Hike on Tuesday, Oct. 28 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Lime Creek Nature Center. The theme is “Wild about Wetlands!”

Groups of hikers will be led through the trails of Lime Creek on a 40-minute hike, encountering various creatures along the way. The hike will not be scary, but will be a fun and educational experience for the whole family. A majority of the hike will be held on the hard-surface Easy Access Trail, but the final segment will occur on a trail inaccessible to wheelchairs. Refreshments will be served following the hike.

Children ten years old and under are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes and are welcome to participate in a costume contest that will be held in conjunction with the hike.

Reservations are required. Members

of the Lime Creek Nature Center can make reservations starting Monday, Oct. 13, at 8 a.m. Non-member registrations will be taken starting Tuesday, Oct. 14, at 8 a.m. Call 423-5309 to make reservations or for more information.

Registration will be limited to a maximum of ten people per caller. Every six children at the hike must be accompanied by at least one adult. The cost is $3 per person for all ages. Registrants will be required to pay for unannounced no-shows.

Elizabeth McNutt and Shannon Wettstein formed Calliope Duo eleven years ago while pursuing their doctorates in contemporary music performance practice at the University of California at San Diego. Focusing mainly on the last fifty years, Calliope Duo presents the most original, innovative and excellent newly composed music.

The Waldorf Community Artist Series prides itself in bringing artists from all around the country, as well as popular local musical groups, to perform in Forest City. Through musical performance, the campus and community are exposed to cultures, genres and aesthetic techniques that they may have never had to opportunity to experience.

Susan Kirsch of Wesley, has been employed with the Unites States Postal Service for 31 years. In an interview with Susan she tells of her years of service and of her family. Susan is married to David Kirsch and they have four daughters. When she started in the summer of 1987 she had two of the four girls already. The other two were born during her years of working at the post office.

When asked why Susan started this journey she stated “I was looking for a job and decided to take the postal exam”. At the time the head office was in Mason City. It has changed over the years to Sioux City and is now in Des Moines. She became an official Unites States Postmaster in October of 1993.

In her 31 years she has helped out at many offices in the area.

Many patrons have been so much a part of the job. They have been interested in her and her families lives throughout the years. Susan commented on all the people she has enjoyed

getting to know and how in that many years so many have now passed away.

There were so many attending her farewell coffee and cake reception on Tuesday, September 30 (her last day of work) that I had to return in the afternoon to continue the interview.

So many expressed their appreciation for her in doing such a good job for our community and wishing her well in her future activities. When asked, Susan said it was the people she met and got to know, that she enjoyed most about her job and also that she would miss the most. She felt very blessed to have had good offices, employees and patrons to work with throughout her years of service.

Her next chapter in her journey after retirement includes helping David on the farm, babysitting their grandson occasionally, making cards, weaving with looms and gardening. She wants to stay in touch with the Corwith community. Everyone wishes Susan and her family the best.

Waldorf Lutheran Association annual meeting

The Waldorf Lutheran Association of Congregations will hold its annual meeting at Waldorf College on Oct. 9 beginning at 10 a.m. in the ballroom.

Association President, Pastor Rod Hopp of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Forest City, will preside over the meeting.

For more than 100 years, association congregations have played a vital role in the prayer and financial support of the college, and have encouraged their young members to consider attending Waldorf.

The new Association of Congregations, formed in 2010, falls under the umbrella of the Waldorf Lutheran College Foundation – the link between the colleges past and its future. The Foundation is a separate, nonprofit entity from the college and is the vehicle for all tax-deductible donations.

The Foundation funds scholarships, campus ministry programs, and alumni relations events /publications that

directly benefit Waldorf students and alumni.

To date, the new Waldorf Lutheran Association of Congregations is comprised of 25 churches from Iowa and Minnesota. Pastors and delegates from member congregations are invited to attend the annual meeting. However, any Lutheran church is welcome to send a delegate to the annual meeting if they are considering joining the Association.

Each member congregation receives several benefits including Learning Partner Status with Waldorf College and Columbia Southern University, meaning members qualify for discounts on courses at Waldorf or CSU and at the Waldorf College Bookstore.

They also receive complimentary tickets to Waldorf athletic and fine art events.

For more membership information, contact Rita Gilbertson at gilbertsrita@waldorf.edu or 641-585-8140.

Garner E-Free Church welcomes all women from the community Saturday, Oct. 11 - 9a-3:15p Watch a conference with Bible Teacher Beth Moore, worship by Travis Cottrell, and connect with other women.

This event is FREE! Lunch will be provided.

Enjoy Halloween fun whether you’re young or simply young at heart

Halloween hijinks include dressing up and scouring the neighborhood for free candy. Halloween is the typically the best day of autumn for children who have eagerly been awaiting the sweets free-for-all since the start of the school year.

But Halloween is not just for youngsters. Many adults are equally enamored with Halloween, the one day of the year when men and women can don a costume, act silly and let loose for an evening.

Some adults may wrestle with the decision to get dressed up for Halloween. But one trip to the costume store can shed light on just how popular Halloween is among adults. Costumes devoted to older Halloween revelers often exceed those set aside for kids. The choice in adult costumes is vast. Dressing up is not right for every occasion, but when done correctly, it can enhance the fun of Halloween.

Costumes at the workplace may not always be acceptable. It is wise to check with human resources personnel to learn the company policies on costumes. If management announces an in-ofďŹ ce costume contest or something similar, then this is an indication that costumes are acceptable.

Make sure you understand the parameters of getting dressed up and play by the rules, or you could ruin the fun for employees in subsequent years.

Steer clear of any costumes that may send inappropriate messages or use off-color language. You never know who might be in attendance at a Halloween party, and certain costumes may be offensive.

Choose a costume that ďŹ ts your personality or one that’s the complete opposite of what others would expect you to wear. A Halloween costume allows you to try on a completely different persona for a night.

Recognize there are particular costumes for all sorts of popular characters and ďŹ gures. Then there are the same costumes in risquĂŠ versions. Use discretion with regard to how much skin you want to show. Let the type of event (i.e., ofďŹ ce Halloween party or gathering with friends) you are attending help determine which costume you wear.

Select a comfortable costume. You want to be able to mingle at a Halloween party. Having a costume that constricts movement can impede your ability to have fun. A large, cumbersome costume also might take up too much room in a party space, and you may end up bumping into other guests.

Remember to have fun. Embrace looking foolish for one night and wear your costume with pride. If you are conďŹ dent in the costume you choose, you can pull off just about any outďŹ t and still have a good time.

Autumn is a great time to embark on road trips and take in the awesome spectacle of fall foliage.

Plan your fall foliage road trip

Come autumn, thousands of motorists take to the highways and backroads to experience the ever-changing landscape made beautiful by leaves changing colors. Fall foliage road trips make for a fun way to spend a weekend afternoon.

With cameras in hand and provisions at the ready, motorists can make the most of their next fall foliage road trip. ¡ Know when to go. Learn the best times of the year to see the peak leaf colors. Mountainous regions and many located in northern latitudes will see changes in leaf color earlier than other regions. Drivers living in certain areas of Canada, regions of the Rocky Mountains or in particular parts of New England can expect to witness leaves changing color as early as September, while much of the midwest can expect peak color in mid- to late-October. Southern regions may not see leaves change color until November. ¡ Aim for a weekday. Many people plan fall foliage road trips on

Falling leaves present a beautiful safety hazard (409 words, US, UK, CAN) Watching leaves turn brilliant shades of color and fall from the trees is a favorite activity each fall.

Drivers travel near and far to witness spectacular and colorful displays of fall foliage, hoping to catch the peak hues in their respective areas of the country.

While falling leaves can be a sight to behold, those leaves can become a nuisance to drivers in various ways. Understanding certain inconveniences and safety risks posed by falling leaves can help motorists protect their vehicle and themselves.

Staining Leaves can do more than just stain driveways; they also can damage a vehicle’s paint job. Should wet leaves, sap and other chemicals that leach out of the leaves stay on a car for an extended period of time, they can cause an outline stain and damage to the paint.

It’s important to manually pick leaves off of the car’s surface right after they fall. Do not sweep them away; otherwise the leaves can scratch the paint surface. When all the leaves have been removed, thor-

oughly wash and dry the vehicle.

Should stains be present already, use a commercial leaf-stain remover or automotive paint cleaner. Tackle one stain at a time.

Clogging Leaves that fall can become trapped in air intake vents, eventually impeding ow and causing odors.

Leaves that fall in the groove of the windshield by the windshield wipers should be removed. Use a high-powered shop vacuum to remove any leaves that are imbedded in the venting.

Check other areas of the car where leaves can become problematic, such as under the vehicle or in the rear exhaust pipe.

Slippery surfaces The Car Care Council notes that wet leaves on the surface of roadways can be hazardous. Wet leaves can make roadways quite slippery, even as slippery as roadways when snow is falling. Drivers should slow down when roads are covered with wet leaves and take turns and offramps more carefully.

Dry leaves also can pose problems, as they tend to accumulate at the edges of roads, where they easily can obscure curbs or street markings. Leaves may ďŹ ll potholes, giving the false impression that a road is smooth and causing damage to tires and suspension systems when drivers drive over them.

Autumn leaves may be beautiful to see, but they can complicate driving and fall car care. Motorists should keep their cars clear of leaves and use caution on roadways. FC14A557

Schedule your own trip for a weekday so you can avoid most of the crowds and enjoy a more serene environment for hiking excursions or countryside visits. ¡ Book accommodations early. If you plant to stay overnight, book your trip as early as possible and don’t be surprised if costs are high.

Autumn is not only a peak time for leaf color changes, but also it’s a prime time for vacationers interested in comfortable temperatures and amazing scenery, so autumn lodging rates may be equal to or exceed the rates charged during the height of summer vacation season. Verify room rates and openings well in advance if you have your heart set on staying in prime leaf color country. ¡ Employ a few tricks of the photography trade.

Eagle Homecoming Victorious West Hancock trailed Newman 6-8 after the first quarter, but the Knights gave the Eagles great field position twice in the second which West Hancock converted into touchdowns to lead 22-8 at the half.

The Eagles returned to add six points in the third and seven in the fourth to secure the win.

West Hancock’s rushing game was key as Bates rumbled for 157 yards on 34 carries to lead the ground game.

Weiland compiled 93 yards on 14 carries, Connor Sonius 64 on 10 and Fran-

cis 36 yards on nine rushes.

Weiland wrapped around for 11.5 tackles, 10 solo and three assists, Trevor Nalan added 11 more tackles for the Eagle defense (nine solo/four assists), while Sonius brought down 5.5 tackle and Sean Schmid five.

West Hancock moves to 3-3 overall and 2-1 in district play.

The Eagles have three regular season games left on the schedule, including Belmond-Klemme (3-3) on the road this Friday.

Football coaches typically wonder how their teams will perform after a week of homecoming festivities. Will all of the hoopla create a distraction that carries over into the game or will the exaggerated display of school spirit motivate the players to achieve? The answer for GHV coach Scott Van Dusseldorp was very satisfying as his Cardinals put together one of their best offensive shows of the season in Friday’s 42 – 6 win over Osage.

The score and the stats indicate complete dominance by the Cards, but that was not evident whatsoever during the first half of the game. Even though most of the first quarter was spent on Osage’s side of the 50-yard line, the Cardinals were not able to cross the goal line until late in the period. Conner Shaw eventually put the Cards on top on a 32-yard scoring run and Connor Burke’s PAT kick gave GHV a 7 – 0 lead heading into the second quarter.

The Cardinal defense contained the Green Devils on their first possession of the second period. An Osage punt pinned GHV deep in their own territory but the Cards responded with an 11-play drive covering 90 yards to reach pay dirt again. Harley Forry answered the call this time, as the junior back scampered 15 yards for a Cardinal touchdown. Burke’s extra point kick put GHV ahead 14 – 0 midway through the quarter.

GHV’s defensive unit forced another Green Devil punt on the next possession, but a Cardinal miscue gave Osage an opportunity to keep the game close.

GHV fumbled on their own 30-yard

Completing the list of GHV junior varsity racers were Dane Neuberger (20th, 22:18) and McKinley Hawe (22nd, 22:44).

Competing on the Cardinal junior varsity girls’ squad were Delores Gonzales (fourth, 17:46), Angela O’Hara (eighth, 18:42), Autumn Weaver (10th, 18:52), Melissa Rich (14th, 20:36), Emily Howke (16th, 20:39), Shelby Scott (19th, 21:09), Kayla Leerar (33rd, 23:29) and Elly Johnston (37th, 24:53).

Cardinal coach Erik Jolivette com-

mented, ““I wasn’t sure how we would feel after racing on Saturday at the University of Minnesota, but the varsity stepped up great and competed hard. I liked the fight I saw in the girls’ team that earned a runner-up finish behind Osage, and the boys defended their home course with a win over Osage. We had about half the team set new personal records, so as a coaching staff we are very excited to see everyone running fast as the second half of the season approaches.”

Action this week includes a race at Eagle Grove on Tuesday.

line to give the Green Devils a short field and Osage took advantage of the gift. The Devils managed to cross the goal line but failed on the PAT attempt, bringing the score to 14 – 6 at intermission.

Osage appeared to be getting right back into the game in the early minutes of the second half. GHV was held to three-and-out on after receiving the third quarter kickoff and the Green Devils then snuffed a Cardinal punt to take over on the GHV’s 22-yard line.

Osage advanced to the 10-yard line but the Cardinal defense rose to the occasion, keeping their guests out of the end zone.

GHV’s offense failed to move the ball on the next possession and the Green Devils found themselves in Cardinal territory for yet another chance at tying the game. Van Dusseldorp’s defensive unit rose to the challenge again, denying Osage any yardage on the short field. The Green Devils elected to punt pinning the Cards on their own one-yard line with their backs against the wall. GHV methodically moved the ball out of the shadow of their own goal posts before Shaw broke free for a 67yard scoring run. Burke’s PAT kick split the uprights again giving the Cards a 21 – 6 lead late in the third quarter.

The 99-yard scoring drive appeared to break the will of the Green Devils as the fourth quarter was all GHV. Shaw added two more touchdowns to the tally, scoring on runs of seven and 12 yards with Burke adding the PAT kick on both occasions. Late in the game, senior lineman Corey Hauptman was given an opportunity to carry the ball.

Hauptman, lining up in the backfield, lumbered 32 yards with just over a minute remaining in the game for the first touchdown of his career. Burke remained perfect on the PAT kick, making the final score 42 – 6.

GHV’s offense put up some impressive numbers against Osage. Their 441 yards rushing is the fifth best effort in school history while their offensive total of 477 yards is tied for the 11th best performance ever. Conner Shaw toted the ball 31 times and finished the night with 229 rushing yards, a new record for a sophomore running back.

Harley Forry also had a great night on the ground, picking up 144 yards on 10 carries. Colby Reid and Corey Hauptman chipped in 34 and 32 yards respectively. Lucas Prohaska completed both of his passing attempts, one a 26-yard aerial to Forry and the other a 10-yarder to Ben Baumgard.

Defensively, GHV held the Green Devils to 82 rushing yards and 31 yards

GHV’s cross-country teams set the stage for an exciting week of homecoming activities as the Cardinal boys added another team title to their record.

Johnny O’Connor and Mason Wirtz completed the varsity roster placing 13th (18:12) and 17th (18:32).

Smith, Dalbeck, Cataldo, Siegrist and Wirtz took advantage of GHV’s fast course to post personal record times in the race.

Osage ran away from the field in the girls’ race, winning the team title with 22 points. GHV/WH was a distant second with 80 points while West Fork placed third with 82.

“Our offensive line did a fantastic job sustaining blocks,” remarked Coach Van Dusseldorp. “Defensively I am very pleased with where we are. We still have things to work on, but things are going in the right direction. This week we play a very good Estherville team. We need to come prepared to play our best as we go into the last part of the regular season. Every game has playoff implications.”

Cardinals Rally to Beat Garrigan It appears that a new rivalry may be developing in the expanded North Iowa Conference as GHV hosted Bishop Garrigan in volleyball action on Tuesday. A gym full of Golden Bear and Cardinal supporters loudly supported their teams as GHV and Garrigan competed in the final match of the league schedule. The Cards had just beaten Garrigan at Algona on Saturday, so the Golden Bears were looking to avenge that loss.

GHV outlasted Garrigan 25 – 20 in their first set of the night, but the Bears answered with a 25 – 17 win in game two and then gained the advantage with a 25 – 22 victory in game three. The Cardinals responded with a fierce 25 – 20 win in the fourth set before earning the match win with a 15 – 10 decision in the fifth set.

Mackenzie Van Gerpen was perfect at the serve line in 18 attempts while Mallory Van Oort and Madee Hejna also served 100% in 16 and 11 attempts. Hannah Lau and Van Gerpen led GHV at the net with 24 and 11 kills while Grace Tusha and Lau each recorded three blocks. Van Gerpen led GHV on the defensive side of the net with 11 digs while Carlie Knutson

and Van Oort were credited with nine and seven. Sydney Younge finished the night with 33 assists to her credit.

Cardinal coach Kelsey Steffens commented, “The girls did an excellent job of finishing the match strong and placing fourth in regular season conference play.”

Garrigan had an opportunity to avenge the loss at Saturday’s North Iowa Conference Tournament as the two teams met in first round action at Lake Mills. Both teams knew it was a critical match as the winner would no doubt advance to Monday’s tournament finals.

The match went down to the wire again, with Garrigan winning the first set 21 – 17 and GHV rebounding with a 21 – 19 victory in game two. Garrigan surged to the match decision by a 15 – 8 score in the third set.

Stacy Hackenmiller was perfect in 14 serves while Carlie Knutson, Mackenzie Van Gerpen, Mallory Van Oort and Sydney Younge all went five-for-five. Van Gerpen scored six kills with seven digs in the match while Hannah Lau added five kills and Van Oort was credited with seven digs. Young recorded a dozen assists

in the match.

GHV has faced West Hancock a few times this season and has yet to lose a set to the Eagles. That trend continued as the Cardinals topped West Hancock 21 – 14 and 21 – 17.

Van Oort and Younge led GHV at the serve line with perfection in seven and six attempts respectively. Emily Spilman, Grace Tusha and Hannah Lau all scored five kills against the Eagles while Van Gerpen and Madee Hejna scored four apiece. Van Oort picked up seven digs followed by Van Gerpen and Hackenmiller with six.

Younge finished the match with 17 assists.

North Iowa has been a pesky opponent throughout the season and the Bison stole a game from GHV on Saturday. The Cardinals had an easy time in the first set with a 21 – 16 win but North Iowa won game two 21 – 14 to force a deciding set. GHV responded with a 15 – 6 win in that game. Great serving was a key in the win as seven different girls were 100% at the line.

Carlie Knutson was perfect in 17 attempts to lead the way while Emily Spilman, Hannah Lau, Mackenzie Van Gerpen, Sadhna Ades, Sydney Younge and Tjaden Kramer all served

100%. At the net, Lau recorded 10 kills followed by Van Gerpen with six and Spilman with five. Younge had another good match as setter picking up 16 assists.

Lake Mills always seems to find a way to win and that was the case when GHV faced the NIC powerhouse. The Bulldogs recorded a 21 – 10 win in game one and then rallied from a deficit in the second set to record a 21 – 15 victory. Serving perfectly in the match were Knutson, Spilman, Younge and Kramer. Lau and Van Gerpen each recorded five kills with Younge picking up 10 assists.

“The girls played their best volleyball of the day against Lake Mills,” noted Steffens. “Our offense struggled against Bishop Garrigan but continued to get stronger as the day progressed. It is disappointing to not be playing on Monday night but now we’re focused on part two of the season.”

The Cardinals finished North Iowa Conference play in fourth place at 7 – 3 and are 17 – 9 overall. They will be idle this week with their next action scheduled at home on October 14 against Rockford.

Hejlik honored among nation’s best athletes

A former Garner resident and National Bronze Medalist in Judo, Ashley Hejlik, has been awarded a Travel & Training Grant by the Women’s Sports Foundation.

The Women’s Sports Foundation, and its national sponsor Gatorade, awarded a total of $100,000 in 2014. The Travel & Training Fund provides direct financial assistance to aspiring athletes – in individual and team sports - with successful competitive records who have the potential to achieve even higher performance and rankings.

These grants allow serious female athletes a chance to fulfill their potential on the national or international level through assistance for coaching, specialized training, equipment, tournaments, and travel.

Past grant recipients include Olympic medalists Brooke Bennett (2000, gold in swimming); Chrystie Gaines (2000, bronze in track and field); Michelle Kwan (1998, silver; 2002 bronze in figure skating); Tara Nott (2000, gold in weightlifting); Maureen O’Toole (2000, silver in water polo); Nikki Stone (1998, gold in aerial skiing); Jennifer Rodriguez (2002, bronze in speedskating) and Picabo Street (1998, gold in alpine skiing).

“It’s an honor to be associated with such inspirational, talented athletes and to be a part of the Women’s Sports Foundation,” said Hejlik, after getting notified of the award.

Ashley is the daughter of the daughter of Larry Hejlik of Slinger, Wis. and Cindy Hejlik of Vero Beach, Fla. Since the start of 2014, Hejlik has climbed the judo rankings, both nationally and internationally. Hejlik is currently ranked 7th in the United States and 134th in the world. She plans to use the funds to pursue her goal of making the 2015 Pan American Team.

Within the next few months, Hejlik will head to Burnt Hills, N.Y., Dallas, Texas, Toronto & Montreal, Canada, and New South Wales, Australia to earn valuable points for the 2015 Pan American Team and 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

STORM LAKE – The Buena Vista volleyball team returned home on last Wednesday night, and the Beavers kept their recent momentum going, as they went on to pick up a 3-0 sweep of Simpson College to earn their first victory over the Storm in eight years.

BVU took a 1-0 lead with a 25-19 victory in set one before rallying all the way back from an 11-5 deficit in the second set to win, 25-22. BVU then held off a late Storm rally in the third set to win, 25-23.

Sophomore Maddie Bardole totaled a matchhigh 17 kills to help lead the way offensively for BVU, while freshman Jade Schaap followed with 13. The duo also tallied double-doubles with 12 and 11 digs, respectively. Bardole’s total moves her past 800 kills in her career.

Emily Mathews (Garner-Hayfield High School graduate) chipped in with nine kills and five block assists. Also defensively, senior Jordan Henningsen surpassed 1,000 career digs in the second set and finished the night with 21.

Freshman Laura Barry dished out 42 assists, while adding 12 digs and a pair of block assists.

As a team, the Beavers posted a .271 hitting percentage, including a .326 clip in the second set while posting 18 kills.

The win gives BVU multiple Iowa Conference victories in a single season for the first time since going 2-8 back in 2008.

By Josh Brandt, Wildlife Area Manager Cerro Gordo County Conservation Board

The autumn months yield a multitude of outdoor recreation opportunities right here in North Iowa, and I can’t imagine a better time to unplug the electronic devices, turn off the television, and introduce a kid to a new experience in nature. Whether you are an avid hunter/fisherman or someone who simply enjoys being outside, we all play a role in trying to rectify the disconnection that many of our youth today have with the outdoors. By encouraging our children and young adults to participate in outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, and hiking, it is arguable that we will have happier, healthier children, who will have a greater appreciation for our natural world.

In order to encourage youth participation, and a higher probability of success, the State of Iowa has designated youth hunting seasons for deer, waterfowl, turkey, and pheasants. Usually a week or two prior to the opening of the regular hunting season, the youth season is your opportunity to take a child out and introduce him/her to hunting with limited pressure from other hunters. It is a great time to work on safe firearm handling and hunting techniques with fewer distractions. We are also right in the middle of the designated seasons for doves, squirrels, and rabbits. These small game species provide excellent opportunities for beginning hunters to learn the ropes. If you do not have a child, consider mentoring a niece, nephew, grandchild, neighbor, or any other youth who you think may be interested in giving it a try. Please refer to the Iowa DNR hunting regulations for hunting season dates and other regulations specific to

your target species.

Hunting with a firearm not your thing, not a problem! Take a kid on a hike through an open timber, forest edge, or grassland, and challenge them to spot a softball or volleyball on the ground, because September and October are the prime months to hunt for edible giant puffballs (which could be mistaken for misplaced sports equipment). Or how about an introduction to paleontology, what child would not be excited to hunt for and discover the fossilized remains of a critter that lived here hundreds if not thousands of years ago?

Fortunately, the Cerro Gordo County Conservation Board manages over 30 areas that provide the perfect setting for introducing a child all of these outdoor activities. For a complete list of county parks and wildlife areas, stop by the Lime Creek Nature Center or visit www.cerro-gordo.ia.us and click on the outdoors tab. Whether your target is a bird, mammal, mushroom, or fossil, hunting can be a great way to spend some one on one time with a kid, get some exercise, and get outside!

The Lime Creek Nature Center is also hosting a series of active, outdoor activities entitled G.A.I.N. (Get Active In Nature), which provide children and their parents or guardians the opportunity to have an outdoor experience with a little more guidance. Some of the G.A.I.N. programs to date have included hiking, nature games, and snowshoeing. You can find specific program dates and details of future G.A.I.N. activities on the CGCCB web page.

Hanson Foundation supports the Avery

Yard and Garden: Applying Herbicide and Fighting Fall Weeds Fall is the ideal time to prepare a lawn for the months that lie ahead before spring, making sure it emerges healthy and happy.

Here are some tips from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach on how to apply fall herbicide and control fall weeds, with help from ISU Extension horticulturists.

When is the best time to apply a broadleaf herbicide to the lawn? Fall (late September to early November) is the best time to apply broadleaf herbicides in Iowa. In fall, perennial broadleaf weeds are transporting food (carbohydrates) from their foliage to their roots in preparation for winter. Broadleaf herbicides applied in fall will be absorbed by the broadleaf weed’s foliage and transported to the roots along with the carbohydrates, resulting in the destruction of the broadleaf weeds.

Spring applications are generally less effective than fall applications.

Which herbicides are effective in controlling broadleaf weeds? Effective broadleaf herbicides include 2,4-D, MCPP, dicamba, triclopyr and others. The most effective broadleaf herbicide products contain a mixture of two or three herbicides, as no single compound controls all broadleaf weeds.

What is the proper way to apply broadleaf herbicides to the lawn?

Broadleaf herbicides can be applied as liquids or granules. Before applying

any herbicide, carefully read and follow label directions.

When applying liquid formulations, apply just enough material to wet the leaf surfaces. If only a few areas in the lawn have broadleaf weed problems, spot treat these areas rather than spraying the entire lawn. Liquid formulations have the potential to drift. Spray drift problems can be avoided by following simple precautions. Don’t spray when winds exceed 5 mph. Also, don’t spray when temperatures are forecast to exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit within 24 hours of the application. Since coarse droplets are less likely to drift than fine sprays, select a nozzle that produces coarse droplets and use low sprayer pressure when applying liquid broadleaf herbicides. When spraying, keep the nozzle close to the ground.

Granular broadleaf herbicides are often combined with fertilizers. Apply granular broadleaf herbicides and fertilizer/broadleaf herbicide combinations when the foliage is wet.

Broadleaf herbicides are absorbed by the weed’s foliage, not its roots. To be effective, the granules must stick to the weeds and the herbicide must be absorbed by the weed’s foliage. Apply granular products in the early morning when the foliage is wet with dew or irrigate the lawn prior to the application.

Which lawn care practices enhance the absorption of broadleaf herbi-

cides? To ensure adequate leaf surface and herbicide absorption, don’t mow the lawn two to three days before treatment. After treatment, allow three to four days to pass before mowing. This allows sufficient time for the broadleaf weeds to absorb the herbicide and translocate it to their roots. To prevent the broadleaf herbicide from being washed off the weed’s foliage, apply these materials when no rain is forecast for 24 hours. Also, don’t irrigate treated lawns within 24 hours of the application.

How do I control creeping Charlie in my lawn? Ground ivy (“creeping Charlie”) in lawns can be controlled with broadleaf herbicides. Products that contain 2,4-D or triclopyr are most effective. 2,4-D is an active ingredient in many broadleaf herbicide products. Triclopyr can be found in Ortho Weed-B-Gon Chickweed, Clover and Oxalis Killer for Lawns and several other products. In Iowa, herbicide applications should be made between late September and early November. Two applications are necessary to effectively control ground ivy.

The first application should be made in late September/early October, the second a month later.

To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate. edu.

MedSpa has new line of medical makeup Glo Minerals supports skin health and treats skin conditions

BRITT – Hancock County Health System (HCHS) MedSpa is complementing its current skin care services with a clinically advanced mineral makeup system—Glo Minerals. The makeup covers, corrects and protects while providing flawless coverage and fabulous color palettes.

“Only pharmaceutical-grade ingredients are used in Glo Minerals products,” said Dr. Jennifer Rosenmeyer, DNP-ARNP, medical provider for HCHS MedSpa. “The makeup is ideal for supporting healthy skin and for treating skin conditions such as acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation, as it provides healing and calming benefits and does not irritate the skin.”

Glo Mineral makeup is dfferent from other mineral makeup lines: • It does not contain any talc, though it is commonly found in traditional makeup lines as a bulking agent. Products containing talc require a heavier application due to lack of pure pigment, causing the makeup to settle into fine lines and larger pores.

This means that the powder is much finer and will lay smoothly on the skin.

• Non-cosmedogenic formulations contain pharmaceutical grade ingredients and powerful antioxidants for additional skin benefits.

• Pharmaceutical-grade ingredients are paired with very powerful antioxidants including Green Tea and Vitamins A, C, and E to nurture and help improve the health and condition of the skin while protecting it from free-radical damage.

• Glo Mineral makeup also offers broad-spectrum UV protection.
