At the time the WPRA media talked about her sport and talked to Foutch. It wrote the following: “Barrel racing is a timed horse race in which the cowgirl rides her horse in a pattern around three barrels. The goal is to avoid knocking a barrel over while completing as quickly as possible. The clock starts as the rider enters the arena and crosses the starting line. Riders are not penalized for tipping a barrel as long as the barrel remains standing upright. Should they knock a barrel over, a five second penalty is added to their time. “While visiting the Great Lakes Circuit Finals Rodeo in Louisville, (continued on page 4)

Eldora woman caps a stellar season By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – Three barrels, and a stopwatch, deceptively simple sounding, according to one writer for the rodeo media. But barrel racing is all the rage in the women’s sport. And the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association website was testimony to that recently, clogged with results from last fall, as riders from around the country went first to their respective regional championships, and the best then qualified for the Super Bowl of the sport, the RAM Nationals in Florida. Eldora’s Natalie Foutch pretty much ace’d the first test, taking one of two spots representing the northern Great Lakes Region, making her one of just a couple dozen riders from across the nation bound for Florida.

Performance Series Steinway artist comes Saturday at 7 p.m.
by Rick Patrie News Editor SOUTH HARDIN – If you haven’t had the pleasure yet, this weekend is a great chance to see and hear the difference that’s been made in the South Hardin High School auditorium. The Hardin County Performance Series is bringing international Steinway artist Jim McDonough to Eldora this Saturday evening, and master that he is on the keyboard, they promise his sound will be even more striking when the recent additions to the school’s audio equipment are engaged. McDonough brings his art to the new state of the art sound system in the South Hardin High School Auditorium, all performed on a Steinway grand piano brought in for this performance. He will also be joined on stage by his professional 14-piece orchestra. This exciting show features spectacular arrangements of songs from the silver screen and Broadway, as well as favorite big band, patriotic, Rat Pack, inspirational, country and classical music. “We are so excited to have Jim McDonough and orchestra come to Hardin County” says Christie Pence co-chair of HCPS. “This is our premier and final event for the 2015/16 season and will be an outstanding
Spring cleanup ELDORA – Residents are invited to take the opportunity to cleanup and dispose of some otherwise notso-easy-to-dispose-of items. The city has set Saturday, April 30 as its annual cleanup day, with pickups times between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. Items for pickup have to be out at the curbside ahead of time, however, so they should be placed the prior evening of Friday, April 29 to be sure. The city can’t guarantee pickup of items placed after that time. Stone Sanitation will do the (continued on page 2)

Tickets may be purchased at Iowa Falls Chamber and all locations of Hardin County Savings Bank and Green Belt Bank & Trust or call 641-939-3407. Advanced purchase of tickets is highly recommended.

McDonough will appear here April 23 at the South Hardin High School at 7 p.m. He graduated from Wartburg College in Iowa with a degree in Music Education, and he took a job as band director for the senior high school in Waukon.
