$19.6M awarded to Iowa towns for infrastructure, housing Nearly 60 rural Iowa communities received funds from the Iowa Economic Development Authority, including Bedford, Lenox, Mount Ayr and Murray. n

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

Grant money totaling $19.6 million has been dispersed to 59 rural Iowa communities for improvement projects, the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) announced Tuesday.

IEDA awarded the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), which is federally funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to communities for infrastructure improvements, downtown renovations and single-family owner-occupied

housing rehabilitation.

Some of the towns that received funding are Bedford, Lenox, Mount Ayr and Murray.

“Strategic investments like these federal funds allow us to (ensure) Iowa’s smaller communities are assisting all areas of our state to be development-ready,” said Debi Durham, director of IEDA. “As a result of these projects, thousands of Iowans will see infrastructure improvements, rehabilitated housing, new community facilities and exciting enhancements in their downtowns.”

The CDBG funds are

administered annually to non-metropolitan areas of the state. This year, IEDA received 124 applications for funds, totaling $36.3 million in requests. The recipients were selected based on the potential benefit to lowand moderate-income citizens, financial need of the community, project impact and commitment of local resources to the project.

The funds will be used for projects that vary from one town to another. Some projects include improvements to water and sewer systems and to housing conditions for low-income homeowners, as well as pro-

viding facilities for disabled and at-risk individuals.

Bedford Bedford was awarded an amount not to exceed $500,000 to be used toward an estimated $350,000 needed for the construction of water main improvements to replace old, undersized lines.

Lenox Lenox was awarded $500,000 to be used toward an estimated $1.99 million project for the installation of a new Submerged Attached Growth Reactor (SAGR) system to meet GRANT | 2A

INSIDE Death

Velma Stewart Omaha, Neb.

Velma Joyce Stewart (Kirkpatrick) died May 15, 2016, at Maplecrest Care Center in Omaha, Nebraska, at the age of 78.

B o r n Stewart on the farm in Polk County, she moved to Omaha and married Vern Stewart.

A computer operator at Methodist Hospital, upon her divorce, fulfilled her lifelong dream and went to North Carolina to live in

the mountains before moving to Fremont, Nebraska.

She worked in Valmont Industries before returning to Creston where she had a long career at the gummy bear factory. After her retirement, she settled in Omaha with her family.

The family will hold a private service, but memorial cards may be sent to Sheri Neve, 806 N. 49th St., Omaha, NE 68132. Joyce is survived by two daughters, Cody Ferris of Burlington and Sheri Neve of Omaha, Nebraska; sister Evelyn Schrodt of Murray and brother Don Haggerty of Loveland, Colorado. She is preceded in death by mother Mildred Haggerty and sister Betty Westlake.

DNR investigating Taylor County manure spill LENOX – Tuesday afternoon the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) received an anonymous complaint of an overflowing manure pit in Taylor County.

When the DNR investigated, its staff found evidence of a manure spill at Barrans Farms, owned by Steve Kerns, a small hog finishing farm about three miles southwest of Lenox.

Cleanup is now underway and Kerns will work with a contractor to empty the manure basin and clean up spilled manure on the site.

The outdoor pit that collects manure from buildings at the site was not overflowing during the investigation.

However, DNR field staff saw a path where manure flowed into an unnamed tributary of the east fork of the One Hundred and Two River.

Field tests showed elevated levels of ammonia in water flowing into the tributary, but DNR staff did not find any dead fish.

The DNR is continuing to investigate the incident and will consider appropriate enforcement action.

GRANT:

ward projects estimated to cost more than $2 million.

Murray received $300,000 for improvements to the city’s water system to provide a safe, reliable source of water and allow the city to comply with state standards.

The other grant is $300,000 to work on Murray’s storm water drainage issues.

Denise Simmons, Murray city administrator, said the city will install all new water mains.

“A lot of our water mains are small in diameter, which is not giving us proper flow to the homes, so we’re try“The funds will be used for Murray ing to enlarge those so we’ll upgrades to the waste water Murray was awarded two have proper flow to the plant to be in compliance CDBG grants to be used to- homes as well as better fire

flow in case of emergency,” Simmons said. “It’ll also give us a FLUTe (multi-level groundwater sampling) system, which will give us better reliability of the system.”

Simmons said the other project, focused on storm water drainage issues, will allow the city to fix the drains to keep water off of Murray streets.

“We’re really excited to start the work,” Simmons said.

protect gun rights and improve public safety.

“All the political rhetoric right now, and Twitter and Facebook ... is polarizing us, telling us we’re in one camp or another,” said Jonathan Metzl, a professor at Vanderbilt University who studies guns and mental health.

“Maybe after the election we can come to terms with this.”

Nathan Gibson of Johnston, Iowa, has seen the polarization firsthand. For three years, Gibson and his daughters, 12 and 10, have lobbied to repeal an Iowa law that requires handgun users to be at least 14 years old. The law prevents his girls from competing in some shooting sports, requiring them to drive to neighboring states.

The Republican-controlled Iowa House approved a change in February that would allow children to use handguns under parental supervision.

Critics called it the “toddler militia” bill, and Clinton accused the NRA of trying to get more guns in the hands of children. Leaders of the Democratic-controlled Senate killed the bill.

Gibson said he saw Clinton’s position as hypocritical, noting that she has talked about hunting as a young girl.

“I’m not a very big fan of Donald Trump, but I also think he won’t mess with the Second Amendment,” Gibson said. “When it comes down to it, I’ll vote for Trump to make sure Hillary does not get into office.”

children to gun violence.

She’s become a forceful advocate for restrictions meant to reduce the nation’s 33,000 annual gun deaths.

The dual appearances highlight the opposing positions the candidates have staked out on gun rights and safety, the prominent role the issue might play in the campaign and the national policy implications for the next president.

“If you cherish Second Amendment rights, the stakes have never been higher than they are in this election,” NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker said.

The NRA – which Clinton listed as an enemy in a debate last year — is warning its 5 million members that Clinton would appoint anti-Second Amendment justices and “implement a radical gun-control agenda,” Baker said.

Clinton has said she supports the Second Amendment but that commonsense safety measures are needed to keep firearms out of the w r o n g hands.

She has called for expanding background checks to sales at Clinton gun shows and online purchases, and for reinstating a ban on assault weapons.

She has often campaigned with families of

“I have enjoyed meeting lots of new friends in my club and doing fun activities as a club, such roadside clean-up, being on our club livestock judging team and serving at our ice cream social. I also like working on my projects, and my favorite is showing cattle.”

What are you most looking forward to at the Union County Fair this summer?

“At the county fair, I am most looking forward to having fun in the cattle, sheep and horse barns where I get to be with my friends. I am also looking forward to going to the rodeo, camping and seeing all the projects that other 4-H members bring to the fair. I also look forward to showing my cattle, sheep and horse.”

If you could meet someone famous, who would you want to meet and why?

“If I could meet someone famous, I would want to meet Fallon Taylor. Taylor is a world champion barrel racer. I watch Taylor on TV

during the National Finals Rodeo (NFR). She has a horse named Babyflo, she has an interesting riding style and she wears really fun clothes in the arena. If I had the chance to talk to her, I would ask her how old she was when she started riding, how many hours she spends practicing and what it feels like to win the NFR.”

“I’m not trying to take away anyone’s gun. I’m just trying to make it less likely for my daughter to get shot on her way home from school or my son to get accidentally shot on a play date.”

Gun sales have boomed during Barack Obama’s presidency despite, and perhaps in part because of, several mass shootings and persistent gun violence in cities. His calls to expand background checks have been stymied by the GOP-controlled Congress.

He has taken modest steps through executive orders, and Clinton vows to build on that work.

States are moving in vastly different policy directions: Gun-friendly lawmakers keep making it easier to buy and carry guns. Gun-control supporters keep adding restrictions.

California, already among the nation’s toughest states on guns, will vote in November on a ballot initiative that would require buyers of ammunition to pass background checks and outlaw high-capacity magazines. Meanwhile, other states are moving to allow people to carry concealed weapons in more places, including on college campuses, and to do so without having to obtain a permit.

The divide can be exasperating for those who seek a middle ground that would

gun violence victims and will rejoin many on Saturday as the keynote speaker at an event sponsored by the Trayvon Martin Foundation. The fatal shooting of the unarmed black teenager in 2012 continues to be a flashpoint in the debate. Former neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman recently said he planned to auction off the gun he used in the slaying.

Trump, who often notes that he has a concealed-carry permit, has called for making it easier for law-abiding citizens to carry guns for self-protection, saying they could help prevent terTrump rorist attacks and mass shootings. He argues the existing background check system should be fixed, not expanded, and that assault-weapons bans do not work.

The latter view marks a change from 2000, when Trump wrote in a book that he supported the ban on assault weapons as well as a slightly longer waiting period for gun purchases.

Supporters of gun control have been energized by Clinton’s campaign and fear a Trump presidency would maintain a national policy that favors easy access to guns.

Clinton “is in tune with what’s happening on the streets,” said Tanya Keith,

Thieves thrive while you fly Dear Heloise: When we fly and use the LONG- OR SHORT-TERM PARKING LOTS, we always take our vehicle registration and insurance documents with us.

A friend of ours once parked his car at a large amusement park, and the car was stolen. The thieves drove to his home, opened the garage door with the opener and had their way with the house without any neighbors knowing anything was wrong. – Tasha M., Fountain Valley, Calif.

Tasha, this is pretty darn crazy! However, it’s possible, and more frightening if the vehicle is in an airport long-term parking location – a good guess the owner will be gone for some time. While on this subject, if you are going to be gone for more than a day or so, fix the garage door so it CANNOT be opened with an opener.

Many have an “off” button on the wall assembly. Stay safe! – Heloise

SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com

For Saturday, May 21, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today’s Full Moon is an accident-prone situation for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Guard against knee-jerk reactions.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)The Full Moon today is an indication of financial stress or strain for your sign. Disputes about shared property might arise. Be cool.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This can make you short-tempered with partners and close friends.

Be patient, because this is gone in 48 hours.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Because the Moon is your ruler, you feel the Full Moon every month. This particular Full Moon could create tension at work or temporary problems with your health.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Tension with a friend might occur today because of the Full Moon energy. Just be patient, because this will dissipate very quickly. (Patience is the antidote to anger.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today you feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your job, career and your public life.

This is one reason a Full Moon is challenging!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be mindful of everything you say and do today, because the Full Moon energy is distracting and can create accidents.

People feel emotional and reactionary during a Full Moon.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Disputes about money might come to a head today because this can happen during a Full Moon. Stay calm and do not react; this tension will release itself by tomorrow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This year there are two Full Moons in your sign!

(That’s quite unusual.) The first is today, and the second is on June 20. Keep things light and breezy. (Yes, you can make a wish.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be patient with co-workers and customers today, because of the Full Moon energy. This will be an easy Full Moon for you. Relax.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Be patient with kids, and be

Hints from Heloise EASY MOVE – NO LOST PARTS Dear Heloise: I recently found another use for those plastic sleeves that our newspaper comes in. I just moved after living in the Houston area for more than 40 years – I had a lot to move. I paced myself and tackled each room, one at a time.

Whenever I took apart a piece of furniture, I’d put the nuts and bolts in the sleeve.

When finished, I would tie a knot on the sleeve. I moved on to the next piece of furniture, and the objects from that piece were placed in the bag, and another knot was tied above them.

Each “pouch” was labeled so I could put my furniture back together once settled. All of the pouches were put in one container to keep them together. – Patrick H., now in San Antonio Welcome to San Antonio, my hometown! Enjoy some breakfast tacos and our “subtropical” weather. – Hugs, Heloise

DATED CALENDAR Dear Heloise: I recently attended a bridal shower, and one of the gifts that the bride-to-be received was a hit. The maid of honor managed to get calendars to both sets of parents. Their task was to enter as many birthdays, anniversaries and other special family dates for the year. The maid of honor then gifted both calendars to the bride and groom as a shower gift. They were very appreciative and thankful. – Barbara H., Springfield, Ill. NONSTICK PROTECTION

Dear Readers: Want to protect your nonstick pots and pans from getting scratched during storage?

Place a paper towel, paper plate or a worn-out washcloth between the pans to protect them from getting BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker scratched when stacked. – Heloise RECORD THE NOISE Dear Heloise: My truck made this “knock” noise only in the morning. It would do it more during warm months. I recorded the sound on my smartphone so my repairman could hear what it sounded like. When my mechanic heard the sound, he was able to determine the problem and fix it. – Sparky in Arizona (c)2016 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

Horoscope patient with romantic partners today. The Full Moon energy can trigger heightened emotions and arguments. Hey, these so-called arguments are just big emotional reactions!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Issues with parents and family might be stressed because of the Full Moon today. Do not expect to get your way. Be flexible and ready to compromise.

(You have no choice.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are not a quitter. You’re courageous, hardworking and

involved in life in society around you. Great news! You are now heading into one of the most powerful years of your life – a time of accumulation. This is a good year to buy and sell. Whatever you have done in the past will now ripen because it’s your time of fruition. At last!

The Numbers Game

9-0 Chris Sale’s record after his second straight complete game Thursday.

National Digest

Cavs up 2-0 CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James recorded a triple-double and Cleveland improved to 10-0 in the playoffs with a 108-89 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals.

James had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists as the Cavs became the fourth team to start the postseason with 10 straight wins, joining the Los Angeles Lakers (1989, 2001) and San Antonio Spurs (2012).

Playing at a different level than the rest of the field, the Cavs are now two wins from appearing in their second straight NBA Finals and trying to end Cleveland’s 52year sports championship drought.

Kyrie Irving scored 26 and Kevin Love 19 for Cleveland, which swept Detroit and Atlanta and has beaten Toronto by a combined 50 points in two games.

Game 3 is Saturday in Toronto.

Sale 9-0 CHICAGO (AP) White Sox ace Chris Sale went the distance on a masterful four-hitter Thursday night, becoming the first major leaguer since 2008 to win his first nine starts, and the Chicago White Sox edged the Houston Astros 2-1 to snap their four game losing streak.

DES MOINES — Creston head girls track coach Clay Arnold saw some positives here Thursday at the 2016 Co-ed State Track Meet.

He also saw some things that could have gone better. His hope is that his team worked out all of its jitters heading into a busy schedule in today’s slate of events.

Sophomore Breanna Wallace, who has battled several injuries over the course of the entire season, tied her PR and cleared 5-1 for the first time all season to tie for 11th place in the Class 3A girls high jump

competition.

Wallace easily cleared on her first attempts at both opening height of 4-9 and 4-11. After a miss at 5-1 on her first attempt, last year’s sixth-place finisher in the event sailed over the bar.

In total, 16 girls cleared 5-1 and moved on to 5-3.

“That was awesome. She loves jumping up here,” Arnold said. “(She) looked really good today, really smooth. That second jump when she got over 5-1, that was just as pretty as the one last year when you took that good picture of her getting over that. It looked really good.”

Wallace nearly cleared at 5-3 on her final attempt, but knocked the bar off ending her campaign for a

repeat state medal in the event.

Nine girls cleared 5-3.

“She’s right there at 5-3, just needs some strength.

You could tell she was worn down by the time she got there,” Arnold said.

“We got to the point a couple of times, we didn’t even think she’d be able to finish the season period, let alone compete at this level.”

Jitters A pair of seniors provided more highlights for the Panthers, as Taylor Briley and Jessica Beatty blazed the first two legs of Creston’s 4x800 relay, which finished 13th overall.

Briley, who came through the 400-meter mark battling for fourth PANTHERS | 4S

Spieth rebounds IRVING, Texas (AP) — Jordan Spieth covered his mouth in disbelief on the 16th green when his long eagle putt stopped short of falling in for a share of the lead.

His group then rushed to complete the final two holes before dark.

Spieth finished with consecutive pars for a 6-under 64 on Thursday and was within a stroke of the lead when the first round of the AT&T Byron Nelson was suspended because of darkness.

The world’s No. 2-ranked player and Dallas native, whose first PGA Tour event was the Nelson as a 16-year-old amateur six years ago, is playing only his second tournament since squandering a fivestroke lead on the back nine at the Masters. He missed the cut last week at The Players Championship, but had only one three-putt to start at rain-softened TPC Four Seasons.

Sergio Garcia, Danny Lee and Johnson Wagner shared the lead at 7-under 63. Garcia played in the morning, and Lee and Wagner, like Spieth, were just able to complete the round that started 2 1/2 hours late after early morning rain.

Dustin Johnson and Freddie Jacobson matched Speith with 64s.

Tom Hoge, one of 30 players who have to finish their first rounds Friday morning, was 6 under through 14 holes.

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — Nodaway Valley senior Destiny Scar kicked off her final Co-ed State Track Meet with a fifth-place medal and Mount Ayr senior Kyle Dolecheck earned a seventh-place medal here Thursday.

Scar picked up the first medal of the meet for the Creston News Advertiser coverage area, finishing fifth in the Class 1A girls 3,000 meters Thursday afternoon.

The Wolverine senior ran in a lead pack of three for the first five laps of the race before East Mills freshman Janette Schraft and AGWSR junior Bethany Lippert began pulling away.

Scar faded to fifth and just held off Southeast Warren sophomore Elise Emmick for fifth place in 11:31.54 to

Emmick’s 11:31.92.

“At the beginning, it was a really fast start. I knew it felt really fast, but I had a plan to stay in the top three and I did that,” Scar said.

“I’ve been having problems with shin splints the past two weeks. I had to take a couple of days off here and there to try to heal up. I don’t know if that helped any or not.”

Scar said she mentally defeated herself in the final three laps. She comes back today in the distance medley relay, before running in the 800 meters and 1,500 meters on Saturday.

Panther doubles teams return to state tournament Medical situation ends championship match early

By LARRY PETERSON doubles team as sophoCNA senior sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

NORWALK — In the preseason interview for the News Advertiser, Creston/O-M head tennis coach said a lot of lofty goals were on the table for his senior-laden girls team in 2016.

“If you ask do we have a chance to be in the (state) Final Four as a team? Yes,” Cooper said at the time.

“Do we have a chance to win the Hawkeye 10 this year? Yes. Do we have a chance to have somebody in the state championships of doubles? Yes. But it’s all potential. You have to go out and prove it.”

None of those things are off the table yet. Creston/O-M won its first Hawkeye 10 Tournament title on Tuesday. In the team dual postseason, the Panthers face Shenandoah Saturday in Atlantic for the right to play the first round of the State Tournament Monday in Norwalk.

And, Thursday on those same Norwalk courts, two doubles teams earned repeat trips to the Class 1A State Tournament by placing first and second in regional play. Taking first place in regionals for the second straight year was the senior doubles team of Jenna Taylor and Alli Thomsen, who placed sixth in last year’s state tourney.

Finishing second for the second time was the senior duo of Sydney Dunphy and Caitlin McIlravy, seeded third in the regional with a 7-5, 6-2 triumph over second-seeded Meredith Ossian and Olivia Astavita of Ballard. Those two Ballard seniors went to state as a

mores, but did not play together last year.

Upset victories In addition, senior Gracie Russell nearly made it in singles, falling one spot short in placing third after going into the tournament unseeded. Along the way, she knocked off the No. 4 and No. 3 seeds, losing only to No. 1-seeded Emily Jurgensen of Ballard in the semifinals.

Another senior, Ann Waigand, also competed in singles Thursday for the Panthers, winning her first match without yielding a point before falling to second-seeded Melanie Gustafson of Saydel, who earned a trip to state by finishing runner-up.

“We couldn’t be more proud of how the girls performed today,” said Panther head c o a c h K e v i n Cooper.

“Everybody was Cooper able to secure a win today. To end up with a first place, second place and third place is a great sign of how hard this group of girls has worked.

Saturday we match up against Shenandoah and the winner of that match is considered a state qualifier, so now we focus on that!”

Medical delay The championship doubles match between the two Creston/O-M doubles teams lasted only three games, and ended in an injury default win for Taylor and Thomsen.

Jenna Taylor of Creston/O-M returns a shot near the net while teammate Alli Thomsen covers the baseline during a 6-0, 6-1 regional semifinal victory over Ballard’s Emi Bendler and Bry Ronca, which clinched the Panther duo’s second straight berth in the Class 1A state doubles competition. Thompson and Taylor defeated teammates Caitlin McIlravy and Sydney Dunphy by medical default in the finals. Both teams advanced to state.

two rounds, McIlravy and Dunphy had a much tougher battle in reaching the finals, particularly the semifinal match that nearly went to a first-set tiebreaker.

On one of the rare warm days of the season in the 70s for temperature with virtually no wind, McIlravy showed signs of dehydration during warm-ups for the finals, and collapsed during a changeover of sides with

Taylor and Thomsen leading, 2-1.

“When we were warming up she wasn’t hitting the same,” said Dunphy, McIlravy’s partner. “And then after our split at 2-1, she came over and said, ‘Sydney, I can’t see!’ I told her she should probably sit down, but she said she’d be fine. Then, she stopped and said, ‘Actually, I’m going to pass out.’ Then she laid

down on the court.”

Russell was playing for third place on an adjacent court, and somehow maintained her concentration enough to win that match, despite the distraction of frequently looking over to see if her teammate was OK. Dunphy, Taylor and Thomsen remained on the TENNIS | 3S

MEDALS: CONT. FROM | 1S

Lohmann stayed within striking distance of medal contention for much of the race, before losing several spots in the final two laps.

She is believed to be the first state meet representative for Diagonal since the 1960s.

Mount Ayr sophomore Bailey Anderson just missed out on a medal in the 400 meter dash, running 1:01.33 for 10th place. She finished just .64 seconds out of eighth place. Nodaway Valley senior Kenna Lundy missed qualifying for finals of the 200 meter dash by just .06 seconds, finishing 11th in 27.18.

Dolecheck medals

Mount Ayr senior Kyle Dolecheck added to his collection of state meet medals with a seventh-place finish in the Class 1A boys 400 meter dash.

The fast heat of the 400 meters included eight runners separated by just a half second throughout the year, making it anyone’s race to win.

Dolecheck finished sixth in the fast heat, running 51.25

seconds, with Boyer Valley’s Zach Ambrose knocking him off from the second heat.

Raider teammate Trevor Anderson finished ninth over- Dolecheck all in a PR of 51.32. East Union’s Gabe Nixon ran 52.67 for 16th place.

“There were eight runners within half a second at some point in the season,” Mount Ayr head coach Brad Elliott said. “Anybody can win that race and it ended up that way. Jesup snuck in there and won it. There’s a very tight window of 400 runners in the state for Class 1A and it showed in that race.”

Mount Ayr senior Nick Wurster missed making finals of the long jump by just half an inch, finishing ninth with his mark of 20 feet, 2.50 inches.

Nodaway Valley sophomore Brycen Wallace finished ninth in the 3,200 meters, with junior teammate Shane Breheny 10th. Wallace ran 10:19.91 and Breheny clocked a 10:22.80.

Critical events

Mount Ayr still harbors hopes of bringing home a team trophy for the third straight year, but need solid performances today and Saturday to make that a reality.

“We’re going to have to really lay down a time in that first heat of the medley. Our 4x2 is going to have to battle from an outside lane,” Elliott said. “We’ve got prelims in the 4x1 and prelims in the 4x4.

Outdoor news Spring fishing Crappies and bluegills are biting in small ponds and lakes across Iowa. Spring panfish fishing is a great opportunity to introduce beginners of all ages to fishing.

“Late May and early June is an excellent time to take kids fishing since many species are spawning and do not spook as easily,” said Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Bureau.

“Parents can make the trip more memorable by bringing snacks, taking photos and celebrating each fish

as if it were a record breaker,” said Larscheid. “Sharing and teaching fishing skills to our kids will help pass along this Iowa tradition.”

Look for any type of structure in the water, like rocks or a pile of brush or gravel to find bluegills or crappies.

Bass will be around brush or boat docks or rock piles. Pinpoint panfish hotspots with downloadable fishing structure location maps available on the DNR’s Fishing Maps website.

“Keep the hooks, bobbers and bait small because panfish have small mouths,”

Mount Ayr senior Nick Wurster flies through the air during the Class 1A boys long jump competition Thursday at the Co-ed State Track Meet. Wurster finished ninth with a leap of 20-2.50.

Fishing report Larscheid said. “The biggest problem we see is anglers using too heavy of line with large bobbers and hooks.

Use as light of tackle as you can. I suggest using four pound line, a bobber the size of a quarter and a size 8 hook.”

“We have a lot of good fishing opportunities close to home,” Larscheid said.

Anyone catching their first fish is encouraged to take a photo of it and send it in to receive the DNR’s first fish award. The DNR will commemorate the event with a certificate.

Junior Hannah Hood finished 23rd in the discus competition with her throw of 97-9.

“Hopefully she’s got all the jitters out now before tomorrow and will be ready to go in that shot,” Arnold said. “Should be ready to come back strong. She’s got a lot of potential in that discus. Hopefully she’s willing
