THURS

Alliant Energy has proposed installing a loop feed so that a downed line will no disrupt as many business and homes like it did May 26. The loop would connect to the pole behind Fisk Farm and Home on Bulldog Blvd. and the junction cabinet north of the swimming pool.

The concern is the potential future placement of a sidewalk/trail. The placement of the sidewalk has been put on hold until the next meeting, June 20.

The vacant council seat was a topic of discussion, since no one has come forward to fill it. The council decided to wait until the

The company would do a feasibility study, which would include talking to businesses, people and monitoring traffic. However, if the company decides early on that it would not be feasible to open a hotel, then some of the money would be returned. The council decided to pursue more information about the study.

The council also asked the fire chief, Dave Smith, for the fire departments help with cleaning the streets with fire hoses in preparation for Hay Days.

Dispatches From The Past

Hay Days Comes Once Again to Monona Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor Saturday, June 18 will see Hay Days returning to Monona. The day long festival will be held in downtown Monona. Parts of Center Street and Main Street will be shut down to accommodate the festivities. This is the second year Hay Days has been organized by Monona Chamber of Commerce and the second year for Hay Days to be held downtown. The events will begin Friday, June 17 with the walking taco dinner at 6 p.m. in the park and the night will end with the glow run starting at dusk.

Saturday’s events will begin at 7 a.m. with a pancake breakfast.

Free music will be played via DJ starting at noon. Then at 8 p.m., a live band will play until midnight.

Saturday’s events will wrap up with the crowning of the king and queen of the MFL MarMac All-Class Reunion.

The first Hay Days was held on June 22, 1986. It resembled the same things that have been in more recent Days events. Parades for young and old were held with prizes

given to the best float. Local groups helped donate and work different events throughout the day. The first year was praised for its parade and community members seemed pleased with the overall results. It was held in the park.

The following years were successes except for the literal looming cloud over the annual event. The rain kept a glooming mood year after year until 1993.

Although it is not clear why Hay Days stopped, the weather kept putting a damper on Days year after year.

The next year, Monona tried to host a “Park Picnic” but the turnout was low and there were no further attempts at a summer festival.

Hay Days was long thought dead until almost 20 years later when the Lions Club decided to resurrect the once loved summer event. The Monona Lions Club organized the vendors, events and activities.

The first year was a success.

However the next year would be more problematic. Besides the core members of the Lions Club, not many wanted to volunteer. After organizing for a third year, the

HAY

Lions Club decided that they could not organize a huge event without much help.

“We were getting burned out,” Jane Radloff, president of the Monona Lions Club, said. “We were getting spread too thin.”

In 2015, the Monona Chamber of Commerce decided to take up the mantel of organizing the yearly event. One of the first things that were discussed when the Chamber took over was no one group could handle the load of work required.

“It was too big for one group to organize,” Rogeta Halvorson director of the Chamber of commerce, said.

Halvorson downplayed the role of the chamber saying it is just “a place to meet” when it comes to planning the event.”

The idea was that it was an event by the town, for the town. Hay Days relies on the people in the community to contribute.

“I would like to see more groups in town to participate,” Halvorson said.

Halvorson says that 120 volunteers have signed up to help with the booths and to run the events.

“It takes a village’ and this is living proof of that,” Halvorson said.

According to Halvorson, the reason to have Hay Days is two-fold for local groups. Local groups are encouraged to get involved since it is “providing entertainment for the community and gets their names out there.”

Another reason for groups to participate is the fundraising aspect.

Some groups might “break-even” while others can make some money from selling goods or hosting activities. Monona itself will “break-even” in terms of making money. Money raised at the car show will be used for next years Days, for advertisement and other expenses.

With this year’s festivities coming closer to commencing, the future of Hay Days is left up the people of Monona and, hopefully, the surrounding areas. This year has already seen some expansion, including a larger beer tent outside.

There is even room to expand with more activities and food stands in the upcoming years. The sidewalks and streets have more room for vendors and activities.

DAYS

Monona in 1916, 1966 and 1991

In this monthly feature, we take a look back at yesterday’s news. Flashback by Nolan Porter, Outlook Editor.

100 Years Ago…

William A. McGonigle was born in what is now Center Point, Linn Co., Iowa, on the 8th day of May, 1846, and was a son of Bartimous and Catherine McGonigle. He was reared on the large farm belonging to the family just west of town. He received a liberal education. When he was 23 years of age he engaged in schoolteaching, and was afterward employed as a clerk in a drug store at Postville and Winthrop, where he received a thorough knowledge of the business: in 1874 he was employed in the graded school for Monona for two years. He served as deputy recorder of Clayton County for a short time, when he returned to Monona, and was again in the schools. In April, 1881, he went to Rock Rapids, Lyons County, Iowa, where he took charge of the schools in that place, and remained a short time.

In 1878 Mr. McGonigle married Ella Egbert, a daughter of Daniel and Catherine Egbert. They were the parents of one child, Bessi K, McGonigle, who was born January 1, 1880. She lived but a few years. Later, he was engaged in business eterprises with his brotherin-law, A. C. Bingham, and at a later period he moved to Cosby, Missouri, where he conducted a drugstore. It was in this latter place, on June 1, 1916 that Mr. McGonigle came to his death, after a lingering illness of several months. He is survived by a brother, John H. McGonigle, and a sister, Mrs. A. C. Bingham.

The deceased was at one time a member of the First Congregational Church, Monona, where he was an active worked in the choir. Possessed of a talent for music, he was in a most happy situation when singing the great hymns of the Chruch. In disposition he was jovial and social, and made many friends where he went.

Especially was this true in the place where he died.

Mr. McGonigle’s mother was a religious woman who believed in teaching children the Word of God. She had implicit faith in the goodness of God, and her teachings and her prayers followed her son. Oft times going astray, yet in the latter part of his life, when he had time for meditation, his heart and mind went back to his mother’s teaching, and consolation of the last sad days were the sweet memories of his Christian mother.

50 years:

Clayton County Supervisors to appoint interim County Auditor At a Monday (6-6) meeting, the Clayton County Board of Supervisors approved a motion of intent to appoint an interim Auditor to replace Auditor Dennis Freitag, who retired June 1. Before the motion was made, Board Chairman Ron McCartney asked Chief Deputy Auditor Peggy Lane if the office could continue operating the way it has been.

Lane said that it could, but that the office need someone in charge and that it will need more clerical help for elections and in handling software for some new financial reports. She also said that other county offices have offered help for the staffing, and that the software company that installed

the equipment can help, and that Hacker, Nelson & Company, P.C. can also help with the reports.

“We cannot appoint anyone today,” McCartney said. “We first have to make our intent know that we plan to appoint an interim auditor and that the electorate can call for a special election to fill the post, which would be costly for the county, but we absolutely need to appoint someone.”

After further discussion, Supervisor Larry Gibbs made a motion of intent to appoint Chief deputy Auditor Lane as interim auditor at the board’s June 27 meeting and to notify the public of its ability to request a special election. The motion passed unanimously.

Nature and Disc Golf go hand-in-hand

James “Hubie” Porter, Jr. and Nolan, age 5, enjoy a day at Six Flags, St. Louis.

Circa 1996

Kenny Slocum In a previous life, I had a limited understanding of Iowa’s fascinating ecology. Mostly, my “identification” skills were limited to plants that stung or itched, and various scars would indicate my skills were lacking. Occasionally, I could recognize a delicious berry, a mulberry or blackberry if the timing was right, but generally I observed the wisdom of my mother who insisted I avoid putting unidentified things in my mouth.

My interest grew when something forced me to start examining the natural world around me more closely. Chasing a small, round piece of plastic repeatedly into the undergrowth, I would flip over logs to send bugs scurrying or reveal gelatinous fungi. I learned to identify plants, if not by scientific name, by dermatological reaction.

Chasing that same object into mucky streambeds and lakeshores, crayfish and darting minnows distracted from my goal: find that plastic.

After all, I couldn’t finish my round without it. Disc golf played a big role in helping me appreciate Iowa’s natural beauty. An obsession with the game allowed me to experience our state’s phenology, whether I knew it or not. Playing round after round at the same park, with errant throws acting as unintentional “nature guides,” I came to appreciate the changes each week brought to the forests and prairies.

Now, in my current life, I wear the title of “naturalist” with great honor. Everyone embodies that title a little differently, but for me, I look back to one of the primary ways I came to know and love the outdoors in my youth.

Clayton County Conservation has already found great ways to enmesh our organizational goals with the ever-growing sport of disc golf. Jay and Des Reading, Iowa Natives and professional disc golfers from E.D.G.E. (Educational

Disc Golf Experience) graciously hosted an introductory workshop on May 24th at Elkader City Park.

A tremendous turnout on a “school night” demonstrated the region’s hunger to experience a great lifelong hobby.

E.D.G.E. also provided the CCCB with a generous donation of portable baskets, discs, and curriculum materials to enable traveling introductions to the sport at area schools. A visit with each grade level at Elkader Central, 205 students total, on June 2 proved phenomenally as a successful test run, which the CCCB hopes to expand next school year.

Coming up in August, the Turkey River Recreational Corridor will host an amazing event unlike any other. At the Quote-Unquote Triathlon, a “competition” for people just trying to have fun participants will “race” inner tubes on a short stretch of the Turkey River, complete a one-mile “turkey hunt” fun run, and throw 9 holes of disc golf. This event promises to be an absolute blast for people of all ages and abilities.

I am not alone in falling in love with our state’s natural wonders through the sport of disc golf. Thousands of Iowans throw thousands of rounds every year throughout the state’s 170+ courses, almost all of which cost nothing

to play. Indeed, our courses-percapita ranks first in the nation, and our courses attract worldclass tournaments every year. Des Moines will play host to the PDGA Masters World Championships in the summer of 2017.

Disc Golf has much to offer someone looking to recreate and enjoy Iowa’s outdoors. The average 18 hole round requires nearly two miles of walking, in addition to throwing, squatting, bending, and cursing when things go horribly wrong. With courses in Elkader, Aurora, Oelwein, Prairie du Chien, Waukon, New Vienna, Waterloo, Decorah, and Dubuque, area residents need never drive more than half an hour to find a great way to play outside. From a conservation perspective, the ratio of impact to usability is unparalleled. Unlike the complex chemistry of golf course fairways and greens, disc golf courses require only the occasional mowing to be in tournament-shape.

Therein lays Clayton County Conservation’s interest in the game.

CCCB has ambitions to install a high-quality course right here at Osborne, creating a fantastic new way for the public to use their park and enjoy Iowa’s natural beauty.

So if you’ve never played, give it a shot this summer! Just watch where your disc lands or you may just end up a naturalist.

The Millennial’s’ Distopian Utopia I’ll never forget when our oldest son came home from college and declared the welfare state to be legitimate because “we” voted for it.

I can’t think of a better illustration of “democratic socialism.”

No founding father ever had a good thing to say about democracy.

They intended to design a republic, not a democracy.

The candidacy of Bernie Sanders presents an opportunity to examine democratic socialism.

It is extremely important because vast quantities of millennials (not all of them) are belching forth from schools with the same ideas that Hans formed while at UNI. They flock to Bernie events like Beatles concerts. When you get old, time goes faster. It allows you to see trends more clearly. The trend is toward the worship of government as the provider of all things and away from self-sufficiency.

I was listening to a conservative talk show the other day and this person was so befuddled that Bernie (Sanders) called himself a democratic socialist. He believed democracy is the opposite of socialism. This is the kind of numbskullery that enables people like Bernie to garner such a fervent following. People, like this talk show host, don’t recognize that nation building, space exploration, or medical research are every bit as socialistic as an unwed mother on welfare. But if this radio celebrity had denounced democracy as the fuel that drove socialism, he would also have to denounce his own preferred transfers of wealth by saying, “We voted for it.”

Venezuela voted for it, and it is incredibly timely that Bernie is pushing for the same system here.

The fact overlooked most often by promoters of socialism is that, while youthful idealism might inspire us to work to promote the common good for a while, the need for food and shelter enter the picture soon and cause a change of heart. All this free stuff has to come from somewhere.

Hugo Chavez, after being democratically elected in Venezuela, expropriated 1,200 farms and companies in an effort to fund his benevolent programs, even giving away houses. If you wanted to start or expand a business, with the ever-present threat that the government could seize it for the common good, would you?

On an interview show on public radio (Fresh Air with Terry Gross) the subject of the Venezuelan catastrophe was repeatedly referred to as being caused by falling oil prices. The New York Times reporter interviewed, who lives in Caracas, glossed over the fact that the entrepreneurial climate in Venezuela had been destroyed by socialism. It was interesting to hear a resident of Caracas give first- hand accounts of the long lines, empty shelves, and hunger, but never relate it to Venezuela’s “business friendliness” ranking by the World Bank as 186th out of 189.

Apparently his paycheck from New York City sets him apart from the victims of socialism in Caracas.

I implore any millennials who might read this to consider the consequences of a democratic

socialist system. Also, conservatives should consider the benefits of privately run and funded businesses they have traditionally accepted as things that needed to be done by government; such as the nation building, space exploration, and medical research mentioned above.

Thomas Jefferson said government will inevitably grow.

I now see that the federalist idea is what was intended as a way to impede socialism. But starting with Lincoln’s war, then Johnson’s Great Society and Civil Rights Act, our property is no longer ours to use as we see fit. States as well, have no ability to compete, or should I say they only compete through subsidies and tax breaks (plainly more socialism).

So the democracy we now suffer under is still offered as a solution to the problems created by democracy.

The vote, as a means to circumvent limited government, worked in Venezuela and it will work here if we let it. Venezuela has the highest murder rate in the world.

I wish these millennial democratic socialists could have their own state where productive people like Hans (who soon saw the light) could move elsewhere. The socialists could remain and put up a billboard saying, “Welcome to the Distopian Utopia.”

Father’s Day Nolan Porter

Outlook Editor Break out the grills and crack open a cold one; it’s Father’s Day. Every third Sunday in June is a chance to celebrate the role of fathers and to give thanks to them.

Although it is now being marketed as another excuse to sell more lawnmowers and yard tools, the origin has a more benign beginning.

The idea came about in the early 1910’s as a counterpart to Mother’s Day. The founder was afraid that it would be commercialized like Mother’s Day and promotion of Father’s Day dipped until the 1930’s. Father’s Day became official in 1972.

My father never wants anything special for the day of his title. He never wants cards and never says he wants gifts, although he has never turned down any gifts. My dad says the same thing every year, “it’s just another day.” My friend’s fathers treat it differently. They like to have little get-togethers and will have a party, using the excuse that it is Father’s Day.

And why not? Dads have to put up with a lot.

I rode my dad’s shoulders when I was too hot and tired to walk. I would pester him to play basketball after work, even though he just got done working on a hot, stinking garbage truck all day. I would push him to the edge of insanity as a kid, bugging him about the dumbest things I could think of.

And the list goes on. However, he always was there. He always supported me and took care of me.

He worked a job that literally broke down physically over the years. He would miss the big game or the race, just so he could spend time with me. He taught me to ride a bike and how to become an expert at exterior illumination around Christmas time. And the older I got, the more we fought. He is from the Baby Boomer generation and we would butt heads over stupid things long forgotten. In the end, it doesn’t matter because he is still my dad.

No gifts or cards that say “Happy Father’s Day” will ever be able to express how truly thankful I am for my father. For my father and all the other fathers out there: thank you, dad. I love you.

Monona Chamber Community Connection “Discover Monona” at Hay Days Rogeta Halvorson Monona Chamber

“Discover Monona” is this year’s Hay Days theme, and it’s coming up fast this Friday and Saturday. Workers and volunteers around town are busy making last-minute enhancements. The city streets crew will be street sweeping downtown around Center and Main, and the fire department will be power washing sidewalks, all in anticipation of hundreds of guests walking over them this weekend. Prominently positioned in downtown, the old opera house’s wind-damaged façade has been cleaned up and stabilized. A couple of building owners including the bank have worked on or finished their Spring cleaning and maintenance projects. If you have a small project to finish to spruce up or enhance your building’s or home’s façade -- be it as simple as sweeping your sidewalk, pulling down the cobwebs, or planting a new bucket of flowers -- then let’s all finish up and put our collective best foot forward to leave a positive lasting impression on our weekend’s guests. This is a sure way to get them to “Discover Monona” and potentially return to spend more time and money, or maybe even move in or start a business here.

Speaking of enhancements, we encourage you to partake in Monona’s design workshop on Saturday, June 18 at any time between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. as one of the many activities of Monona Hay Days. Your public input and ideas play an important and

valuable role in this visioning and enhancement process. Stop into Monona Community Center’s design workshop for a bit during the pancake breakfast, after the parade, in between playing Hay Days games, or at the final 2 p.m. presentation to listen to the overall concept design review.

We appreciate any amount of participation you may give to become part of shaping the future look and feel of Monona.

There’s always room for your float in Saturday’s Hay Days parade, per Adam Ewing at 563-880-0943.

Show off your classic car or truck competitively (as well as in the parade) through Megan Keehner at 563-880-4762, with prizes awarded via Mayor’s / Kids’ / Peoples’ Choice voting. There’s the fire department’s 5K Glow Run plus lots of other fun and entertaining things to do to support our area non-profit organizations and clubs who are providing Hay Days food and games to raise money for their projects and causes. New 2015 residents, the Schmidts organized a downtown Scavenger Hunt. Our area businesses have greatly contributed to the marketing and expansion of Hay Days, which we expect to keep growing for many years to come MFL Class of ’76 got involved by hosting its 40th class reunion during Hay Days, plus entering its class float in the parade. All-class Reunion King & Queen Peoples’ Choice Award voting takes place from 5 to 10 p.m., with crowning at 10 p.m. and anyone may win!

Lastly, we’ll “Discover Monona” and together kick up our heels at the live music street dance under the stars. Learn about more things to do this weekend on Monona Hay Days’ Facebook page.

In Remembrance of

JIM MOOSE 12/11/1960 – 1/23/2016

“It takes a village” is a phrase that is typically used to reference the importance of everyone working together to nurture, provide guidance, and to support the needs of youth within a community. However, it should also be used to acknowledge the “gift” of community outreach in support of one another during difficult times. Our family has been truly blessed to be a part of such supportive communities that include Monona, Waukon, Elkader and the surrounding areas in addition to all those who have ties to those communities and to our family. Your support, encouragement, and the many acts of kindness expressed to our family at this most difficult time have been truly phenomenal, greatly appreciated, and will never be forgotten. It was just amazing to learn how many lives Jim touched in one way or another.

We would especially like to thank all of those who responded promptly to provide emergency medical care when Jim collapsed including those that helped immediately with CPR and calling 911, the Waukon Police Department, the Allamakee County Sheriff’s Department, and the VMH Emergency Response Team including Dr. Nesseim. We would especially like to thank Pastor Kim for all her comforting words and sharing her talents to help us truly celebrate Jim’s life; and, also to Pastor Sam for coming to the hospital and praying with us there. We would also like to thank everyone who assisted with chores and caring for our livestock; all those who helped us make the right connections so Jarred and Shelby didn’t have to drive home from Chicago alone; those who called or came to the house providing caring words of comfort; those that provided food, beverages, plants, flowers and memorials; those that provided additional inspiration and support through your calls, messages, cards, letters and poems; and to all the staff at Grau Funeral Home in Monona for your many acts of kindness and professional courtesy. There are so many people who have been there for us all, including all of our employers, co-workers, and our ag business partners, that we hope you all know how much your support has meant and continues to mean to us as we go forward as Jim would have wanted us to do.

Through faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ, we ask for your continued prayers for strength and healing, and also for God’s blessings on each and every one of you!

So God made a farmer. (Paul Harvey)

The pole behind Fisk Farm and Home on Bulldog Blvd. and the junction cabinet to the north of the swimming pole need to be connected to complete this loop. The connection circuit would take place on the west side of Bulldog Blvd. It is difficult to tell from the picture submitted if there was space available for a sidewalk/trail if the City decided to install one in the future.

Osborne to host “Chewing the Scenery” event

Archery Donation Pictured L to R Clayton County Pheasants Forever Chapter President, Gerry Ommen, Clayton County Conservation Board Director, Jenna Pollock, and Turkey Valley Sportsmen President, Maury Glesne.

The Clayton County Pheasants Forever Chapter along with the Turkey Valley Sportsmen each presented a $500 check to the Clayton County Conservation Board to assist in the acquisition of new archery equipment for the Environmental Education Program.

The Clayton County Conservation Board purchased a dozen Genesis compound bows, 5 block targets, and materials for the construction of a new bow rack storage case.

The bows will be available for use by Clayton County schools participating in the NASP (National Archery in the Schools Program),

Physical Education Classes, Hunter Education Classes, Junior Naturalist Camps and other Environmental Education Programs hosted by County Conservation. Clayton County Conservation Board Director, Jenna Pollock, utilized reduced pricing through the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Shooting Sports NASP Program to replace recurve bows that had surpassed their longevity. The new Genesis compound bows have an adjustable draw-weight up to 20lbs and are user friendly for youth 4th grade on up.

The “Chewing the Scenery” event will be held on Sunday, June 26th at 10:00 a.m. in Bloody Run County Park. No reservations are required.

Celebrate summer's bounty with Clayton County Conservation on Saturday, June 26th at 10:00 AM and see what delicacies Mother Nature has cooked up at Bloody Run County Park.

This free introduction to wild edibles will cover the basics of safe and sustainable foraging, and most importantly will come with a whole lot of delicious foods to try.

Dress for the weather, as the event will place rain or shine. Meet at the second campground loop, across the train tracks from the main campground Bloody Run Campground is located off HWY 18 about two miles west of Marquette, IA. Turn down the gravel road and travel for less than a mile.

Central Community Hospital to hold CT open house June 15 The doctors and staff of Central Community Hospital invite you to join them for an open house featuring the new Toshiba CT Scanner. The open house will be held Wednesday, June 15 from 1-3 pm at Central Community Hospital, Elkader. Refreshments will be served following your tour. The open house is being held to not only thank those who donated to the fundraising campaign but also to help the public better understand the process of CT scans.

CT is a “3-D” imaging tool used to diagnose diseases or injuries that conventional x-rays cannot. A CT scan can visualize almost all parts of the body. It can be used to

image patients who are suspected of having a stroke, have experienced trauma, who are acutely ill, and many other indications. A CT scan can also be used to plan medical, surgical, and radiation treatment.

The new Toshiba CT Scanner is an advanced technology which allows scanning to be acquired at much lower radiation doses and faster scan times. The CT table is wider and more comfortable for the patient. The opening of the CT gantry (“donut”) is also larger and less confining, The hospital now offers new CT studies, such as CT Lung Cancer Screening, which allows for early detection of lung cancer.

Bowfishing tournaments permitted on Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge The Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge has been notified of the issuance of fishing tournament permits to bowfishing groups in Wisconsin and Iowa. The Wisconsin Bowfishing Association (WBA) will hosted a night-time bowfishing tournament in Upper Mississippi River Pools 4, 5, and 5A on June 11, 2016 and will host another in Pools 8, 9, and 10 on July 30, 2016. Both tournaments hosted by the WBA have been permitted by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WIDNR).

The Bowfishing Association of Iowa (BAI) has received a permit from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to host a night-time bowfishing tournament in Pool 10 on July 23, 2016. WBA President Jeb Verhalen and BAI President Zac Miller both spoke with Refuge Manager Sabrina

Chandler to discuss tournament “red zones” which are areas to be avoided by tournament participants.

They also discussed concerns that were raised in response to a large scale bowfishing tournament held in July 2015 on Pools 9, 10, and 11. Mr. Verhalen and Mr. Miller have taken appropriate measures to ensure that tournament participants are aware of the red zones, Refuge and State regulations, and that participants are considerate to other recreational users of the Refuge.

Bowfishing is allowed on Refuge lands in accordance with State law.

Currently, fishing tournaments are regulated through the respective State DNRs and in compliance with a compatibility determination completed through the Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan in 2006.

Any concerns or observations of violations should be reported to the proper authorities. Refuge specific

Obituaries Elmer Arthur Stangeland, 92, of La Crosse, passed away Thursday, June 2, 2016, at Hillview Health Care Center, La Crosse. He was born January 16, 1924, to Joseph Adolph Stangeland and Emma (Kloster) Stangeland in Ossian, Iowa.

Elmer will be remembered for being a strong, hardworking man, a man that loved his family and friends, and who shared a love of gardening at the side of his wife, Shirley. Passersby would often stop and compliment the couple on their

In addition to many wonderful friends over the years, Elmer’s co-worker, Doug Olson and Doug’s entire family came to be like a second family.

The family would like to extend our sincere thanks to the staff at Hillview Health Care Center for their excellent and loving care of Elmer in these last five months.

A private gathering of friends and family will be held at a later date.

Enjoyable ways to spend Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Many dads and father figures will attest that Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is special because they get to spend it with their families. While the gifts might be nice, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time together that dads truly cherish.

Family members who want to make Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day extra special this year may want to put extra effort into customizing Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day fun rather than shopping for gifts.

So what equates to a fun-filled and enjoyable day for fathers? That all depends on Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests. While no two fathers are the same, there are some universal ideas that can make for a memorable Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day.

chores that may be tackled on Sundays or even responsibilities that Mom often relies on him to tackle.

Special dinner On this special day, Dad may deserve a dinner that stands apart from more routine family meals.

A specially cooked meal that the entire family prepares together or a reservation at a favorite restaurant will no doubt bring a smile to Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. Make sure that the meal includes his favorite foods.

Favorite activity Plan the day around an activity that Dad enjoys. If heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an avid fisherman, this could mean taking the rods out and spending a few hours seeing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biting. Or it may involve attending a ballgame, watching his favorite movie or playing a few rounds of golf.

Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is a special day that many fathers would insist is even better when spent with family.

Rest and relaxation Fathers do a lot for their families, and many fathers have hectic daily schedules. Come Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, Dad may just desire a day when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not called on to do anything. Provide this for him by removing many of the responsibilities that can bog your father down. This includes

Ed-Co scored two in the bottom seventh to knot the scoreat 3-3.

In the eight inning Becca Harms doubled to lead off the inning.

Brenna Boland, running for Harms, scored on a single by Hannah Schutte to put the Bulldogs up 4-3.

Mollie Ward then retired three of four in the bottom of the eighth to secure the win.

Hannah Schutte led the Bulldogs

going two for four with three RBI’s.

Jayde Schubert was two for four with two doubles.

Game Two: Lost 10-2 The Bulldogs scored single runs in the second and fifth innings. Ed-Co scored one in the third, one in the fourth, and eight in the fifth. The Bulldogs committed four errors.

Ward pitched four and a third innings, giving up six hits, six runs, and four earned runs.

Coach Jerald Kleve said, “Once again the Bulldogs let one bad inning decide the game.”

The Bulldogs scored two runs on seven hits. Getting hits were Stocker, Picha, Harms, Jayde Schubert, Moose, Schutte, and Kinley.

Bulldogs continue to improve as young pitchers do a great job chad drahn

outlook sports Monday: Game One: lost, 16-2, Coach Brandon Burke explained, “Mike Egan pitched great once again for us, but after five innings he reached his maximum pitch count and was removed from the game. Once we went to the bullpen, we struggled to throw strikes and moving forward we need to find more guys who can consistently come in during the latter stages of a game and throw strikes.”

Game Two, lost, 12-2 Eighth graders Kaleb Tilson and JT Stocker both looked great on the mound and aside from a seven run first inning, they really kept a great North Fayette lineup at bay for most of the night.

Coach Burke said, “ I’m very pleased at how these two young men pitched against one of the best team’s in the conference. Tilson struggled in the first inning but found a way to work through it, that speaks volumes to me. He could have cashed it in and given up, but he kept battling out on the mound.

For eighth graders to step in against such a tough lineup and find success, it speaks volumes of their talent and mental toughness. The competitive nature and toughness

of our freshman and eighth graders has been super impressive this season.” He concluded by saying, “They all have been put in tough situations and more often than not they get their job done. I couldn’t be more proud of the young kids on our team.”

Last Thursday, June 9, the boys played two against Ed-Co in Edgewood.

Game One: lost, 14-4 Bryce Burke and JP Murphy each had two RBI’s in game one.

Burke also added two doubles.

Burke noted, “Korby Keehner and Garret Keehner gave us some great at-bats and continued to put a charge into the baseball. Our pitching struggled to keep the ball down in the zone and we paid for it by giving up a grand slam and a two-run home run in the third and fourth innings.

Game Two: lost, 4-3 After a rough game one, the Bulldogs played great baseball in game two of the doubleheader in Edgewood before losing the game in heartbreaking fashion.

Cedrick Drahn pitched great for the Bulldogs in his first career varsity start on the mound, giving the team seven great innings.

The team had a 3-1 lead going

y Two-Da ndly ie r F Family- tival Fes

into the bottom of the seventh and couldn’t quite close the deal.

Burke said, “With such a young team, this was the first time we were in this situation, and the pressure got to us and caused a few mistakes. This is the type of game we won’t lose in the future, but our inexperience came back to bite us in this one. A few ‘Texas Leaguers’ and three errors led us to blow the two run lead in the seventh. As I told the guys after the game, the game wasn’t lost in the seventh inning, we had three or four opportunities to score more runs in the early innings of the game.

Saturday, the Bulldogs played in a tournament at Riverfront Stadium in Waterloo. The faced English Valleys in the first game where they picke up the win in eight innings.

Game One: won, 8-7 Kaleb Tilson started on the mound and gave the Bulldogs four and two thirds innings of great pitching.

Coach Burke noted, “He continues to experience a high level of success as an eighth grader, pitching exclusively for the varsity squad. Bryce Burke came in to pitch the final three and a third innings and came away with his team leading second win. Both of the guys came in and threw strikes and put us in a great spot to win.”

He added, “We had a golden opportunity to score in the bottom of the 7th, with the score tied at four each. Kyle Adam had a clutch double to start the inning but we couldn’t drive the run in. In the top of the eighth, Burke recorded two quick outs before an error, two

walks, a double and a passed ball allowed English Valleys to score three runs.”

Burke hit a double to start the bottom of the eighth and Garret Keehner followed with a double of his own to drive in Burke. Korby Keehner reached first on a dropped third strike and the team was in business. Rob Reichard was brought in to pinch run for Korby and then Mike Egan drove in Garret Keehner with an RBI single. JT Stocker then singled to load the bases. Ethan Stubbs kept the hit parade going and singled to drive in Reichard. After a Zach Trudo strikeout, Nathan Johanningmeier drove in the winning run with an infield single to the second baseman.

The coach concluded by saying, “This was a win the team needed after losing a heartbreaker on Thursday night. The team battled the entire game and I really couldn’t be more proud of the guys for putting together the four run rally in the bottom of the eighth inning.

The Bulldogs played Western Dubuque in game two of the tournament.

Game Two: lost, 15-0 Western Dubuque gave the team its toughest test to date.

Coach Burke said, “Although the score was ugly, we put together quality at-bat after quality at-bat.

Sadly, we didn’t have anything to show for it. Michael Egan and JT Stocker pitched very well, but Western Dubuque hit the ball extremely well for the lopsided victory.”
