Who says men don’t belong in the kitchen? One of Osceola’s most anticipated spring flings, the Scouts’ Fellers’ Cake Bake, takes place 6:30 p.m. Monday,

March 20, in the Clarke Elementary cafeteria. Viewing begins at 6:15 p.m.

The cake auction pairs Cub Scout and Boy Scout participants with a father, brother or older male figure. The ultimate goal is creating delectible desserts

— and raising money for scout activities.

“Osceola is one of the few groups that really tries to pay for our kids to do things.

Kids who can’t participate in other things can still take part,” said Cubmaster Callie Shields.

Money from the cake auction goes toward camp fees, camping supplies and activities held throughout the year.

How much do the cakes go for?

“Anywhere from $30 up,” says 2017 Cake Bake

Co-chairperson Rose Grief.

“The sky is the limit.”

In the past, businesses have spent hundreds of dollars on the most outstanding entries. According to Grief, it’s an investment in the community, and gives the boys a reward for the effort

they’re making toward becoming good citizens.

Those who would like to contribute without participating in the auction may contact Sara Whirrett at 641-414-3486 or Rose Grief at 641-414-2989 or mail a donation to 2178 290th Ave.

came too late for Murray to amend their budget to reflect the loss.

The council’s earlier decision had its share of supporters.

Twenty years later, there are people in all three Kedley t o w n s questioning why the contributions come from Osceola instead of Clarke County. The manner and the timing of the vote left the towns’ and county’s hands tied.

“We’ve already done our budget,” said Clarke County Supervisor Bill Black.

“There’s no money for Murray or Woodburn. It wasn’t a consideration. We didn’t know about it.”

While addressing the council, Fotiadis referenced a letter received from Murray City Administrator Denise Simmons.

“In the heat of the letter, there were things said, like ‘unethical’ and ‘immoral’,” he said.

In the letter, Simmons took issue with the manner in which the decision on the casino contributions was made. Murray officials were not notified before the issue came up for vote or before Murray created its budget for the year. The town receives roughly $30,000 a year through the agreement.

Those funds were incorporated into the city’s budget and earmarked for road construction.

“It would have been different if they’d talked to us in January,” said Simmons, noting the decision

Yard and Garden: Proper Spring Planting Windows For Garden Vegetables AMES – Spring planting season is upon us, and it’s time to think about how gardens will be populated with vegetables to yield a bountiful harvest later in the year.

All vegetables have an optimal planting time that helps them properly mature and maximize their potential.

How do those times shake out?

ISU Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help answer your questions about proper planting windows for garden vegetables.

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

When should I plant potatoes?

Potatoes should be planted in early spring. Appropriate planting times are late March or early April in southern Iowa, early to midApril in central Iowa, and mid to late April in northern portions of the state.

Since potatoes are susceptible to several diseases, buy certified, disease-free potatoes at garden centers or mail-order nurseries. Gardeners can purchase seed pieces (tubers that have been cut into sections) or whole potatoes. Small potato tubers may be planted whole.

Large potatoes should be cut into sections or pieces.

Each seed piece should have one or two “eyes” or buds and weigh approximately 1.5 to 2 ounces.

After cutting the tubers into sections, place the freshly cut seed pieces in a humid, 60 to 70 degree Fahrenheit location for one or two days. A short “healing” period allows the cut surfaces to callus or heal over before the seed pieces are planted. Healing of the cut surfaces helps prevent the rotting of seed pieces when planted.

Plant seed pieces (cut side down) and small whole potatoes 3 to 4 inches deep and 1 foot apart within the row.

Rows should be spaced 2½ to 3 feet apart.

When should I plant cabbage?

Cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower can be planted outdoors in early April in southern Iowa, mid-April in central portions of the state, and late April in northern counties. Harden (acclimate) plants in a protected location for a few days prior to planting. Cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower perform best in fertile, moist, welldrained soils. Space plants 24 inches apart within the row. Rows should be 24 to 30 inches apart.

When should I plant onions?

Onions can be planted from early April to early May. Onions may be grown from seeds, sets and plants.

Plant seeds in rows 12 to 15 inches apart. Cover the seeds with ½ to ¾ inch of soil. When the seedlings are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin the planting. For large, dry

Monday, March 7, the Osceola City Council approved the fiscal year (FY) 2018 budget. A notice appeared in the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune Feb. 23, but City Administrator Ty Wheeler reported no public comments or requests were made to review the budget.

This was a surprise given the posted deficit in spending of over $1 million.

Budget Basics for FY2018 The total revenue for FY2018 is $17,029,210, which includes $2,496,143 in property taxes. The estimated total tax levy rate remained $14.32 per $1,000 in assessed value.

“This represents no change from prior years,” said Wheeler at Tuesday’s meeting, though the same couldn’t be said for city spending. “The budget posting for this year showed a deficit in the spending of $1,244,670.”

Advance refund savings “For a one-year snapshot, it would make it appear as though we’re spending way more than what we’re taking in,” said Wheeler, but the numbers aren’t quite what they seem.

“That’s not a deficit as it relates to operations,” he said. “We did an advance refunding of an outstanding bond in 2015. The bond isn’t called until 2018, so those proceeds were accounted for and put in a reserve, and now they’re being spent in 2018 to pay off that outstanding bond.”

The reserve balance is $1,483,535.

Wheeler said the ad-

vanced refund saved the city $84,815.13 in interest payments.

Local investments “The budget includes the replacement of one police vehicle, one cemetery vehicle, additional improvements at Q Pond and also $15,000 for street improvements,” said Wheeler.

Capital improvement projects for FY2018 center on downtown restoration plans, with street lights, underground utilities and sidewalks taking top priority.

The majority of our budget, however, goes to the health and safety of Osceola residents.

“Almost half of our tax dollar budget goes to public safety,” said Wheeler.

Public support Bill Trickey, executive director of Clarke County Development Corporation, commended the council and Wheeler for a wellplanned budget.

“I know Ty doesn’t just look at things in just this year, but he looks out five years when he’s doing these plans,” said Tricky.

“He always looks at your competency plan. I think that’s smart. One of the burdens we face down here is low-assessed valuation in rural Clarke County which causes a heavy burden on everybody in the city limits... I think you guys are doing a great job on behalf of all of us.”

Councilman Dr. George Fotiadis also commented on property value, and the way it limits both the city and county budgets.

“What I’ve noticed over the years is always the complaint about the high rate, and it is true about the

onions, plants should be spaced 2 to 3 inches apart after thinning.

Plant onion sets at a depth of 1 to 1½ inches in rows 12 to 15 inches apart.

For dry onions, plant sets 2 to 3 inches apart. Sets grown for green onions can be planted closer together.

Place plants 1 to 1½ inches deep in rows 12 to 15 inches apart. To produce large, dry onions, space plants 2 to 3 inches apart.

When should I plant radishes?

Radishes can be planted as soon as the ground

can be worked properly in spring. When feasible, begin planting in late March in southern Iowa and mid-April in northern counties. Successive plantings can be made every 7 to 10 days through May. Several plantings can also be made in late summer (mid-August to late September) for a fall crop.

Sow radish seeds one-half inch deep in rows that are 12 inches apart. When the seedlings emerge, thin the planting so remaining plants are 2 inches apart.

high individual cost,” said Fotiadis. “You’re looking at shoe string budgets for about five or six counties in

this area. You have to give a hand to the county supervisors for doing the same thing.”

Online service enables Iowans to follow legislative process Thanks to an online subscription service offered by the Legislative Services Agency (LSA), there is now an easy way for citizens to follow bills and administrative rules through Iowa’s legislative process.

The “Bills & Rules Watch� subscription service is available to anyone who visits https://www.legis.iowa.gov/subscribe and sets up an account. Users can then elect to follow bills and rules; subscribe to legislation, rule makings and publications by topic or category; maintain collections; and receive email notification when the status of watched bills and rules

change.

For example, individuals who are interested in legislation that may affect older Iowans could use the service to track a specific bill by number; track bills sponsored by their local legislator; or track bills that pertain to specific topics (e.g., Medicare, veterans affairs, estate tax) or categories (e.g., Health, Human Services). The service can also be set up to follow legislation that pertains to certain chapters and sections of Iowa Code, such as Chapter 231: Department on Aging - Older Iowans.

The time to invest in Iowa culture is now

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Barbara Paulding Russell

President Trump firmly believes that President Obama ordered someone to bug his phones in Trump Tower. There is absolutely no factual basis for this belief. FBI Director James Comey has asked the Justice Department to come out and categroically

Father David Polich Osceola

As most people know, the minimum wage in Iowa is $7.25 per hour. We also know that this is not a wage anyone can live on.

Our newly-minted legislature in Des Moines has decided

deny this.

But the President’s aides all say the President really believes this. President Trump also firmly believes that three to five million illegal people voted for Clinton in November, that he has had his picture on the cover of Time more than anyone else, that his inauguration crowd was the biggest in history, that he

received more electoral votes than anyone since Ronald Reagan, that the rain on inauguration day stopped as soon as he started to speak, that the press doesn’t report on terrorist attacks, etc.

Maybe someone should have the courage to tell President Trump that just because he believes something does not make it true.

to tackle this problem. They want to 1) freeze it at the current level statewide and 2) force four counties who actually care about their working people to roll back the local increases they have voted in. This comes months after a presidential election campaign which featured a call for more good jobs for

Americans.

The Statehouse’s disrespect for public servants and teachers has already been made manifest recently. Now they are focusing on those even lower on the economic ladder and greasing the rungs. Are they willing to work for $7.25?

Last month, the legislature passed a mid-year budget cut that scooped the Iowa Cultural Trust to help close a gap in the state’s current budget. The legislature had created the endowment fund in 2002 as a tool to support Iowa’s arts, history and culture through grants from the interest earned on the principle, which the legislature had gradually built to $6.1 million.

In response to the recent decision, the Iowa Cultural Trust’s board of trustees, who are appointed by the governor and legislature, sent a letter to every lawmaker at the statehouse to express their disappointment and request that the trust be fully restored. This request was echoed by the boards of directors of the Iowa Arts Council, State Historical So-

ciety of Iowa and Iowa Museum Association, and as leaders of these groups, we feel it is our duty -- and the duty of the legislature -- to help right this wrong and replenish the trust as a resource for longterm growth.

The Cultural Trust is invested by the State Treasurer’s Office and has earned only modest interest due to laws that govern the investment of state funds. However, standard calculations for private-sector endowments suggest that a $6.1 million investment could create a lasting legacy for Iowa communities and their cultural institutions.

As cities and towns of every size invest in their cultural assets to honor the past and shape a more vibrant future, Iowa’s museums, theaters, orchestras and other cultur-

The Old Town Home

By Lynnette Davis,

Clarke County Historical Society

In July, 1867, the railroad had made it as far as the fork of Brush and Gooseberry creeks in Clarke County. The town that sprung up in this valley was Woodburn. Some of the interesting laws of yesteryear follow.

The first ordinance in the incorporated town in 1878 prohibited hogs from running at large in the town. A judgment against a lady for delivering her hogs from the pound illegally was rescinded.

In June, 1880, an ordinance to tax dogs was repealed. A town marshal was hired in 1881 for $50 a year.

Across 1. Island rings 5. Cut, maybe 9. Perry Como’s “___ Loves Mambo” 13. Money in the bank, say 15. Kosher ___ 16. “Our Time in ___” (10,000 Maniacs album) 17. Flat 18. Acquire 19.

44. An end result 47. Smaller

That year the mayor also made a motion that during council meetings only one person talk at a time and to take the floor. An 1885 ordinance prohibited cows from running loose at night.

The rule established for board sidewalks was: All sidewalks shall be 4 ft wide laid with boards not less than 1-1/2” in thickness and not less than 6” in width to be laid crosswise of three stringers 2” thick and 4” wide laid on edge lengthwise of the street. Said boards to be well nailed to said stringers with sixteen penny nails.

In 1890, the town well was constructed at the costs of: $23.25 to

dig and put a top on the well, $37.25 for lumber and brick, 20 cents for nails, $1.75 to make a trough, and $24 for the pump. They also purchased a plow for use on the road and hired a street commissioner for $30 a year. The marshal was paid $8 a month and he was to keep the crossings clean of snow and mud.

The council met to devise a plan to light a portion of the town in November, 1890. Ordinance 37: The private citizens shall furnish lamps for lighting of the streets to the number of six. Town shall furnish oil to run lamps and they shall be lighted each night by 7 p.m. It is the duty of the mar-

shal to light or cause to be lighted said lamps.

Failure shall be of 10 cents for each not lit.

He shall receive $2 per month for lighting, payable quarterly.

Boys were prone to jumping on and off the trains as they slowed down through town. An ordinance was passed to prohibit this while trains were in motion.

Two boys were fined $2.25 for this offense in 1894. Ordinance #43 stated that any person under the age of eighteen was not to be on the streets after 9 p.m. except under control of

their parent or guardian. Ball playing on the streets was declared a nuisance.

The telephone started arriving in June, 1900, and electricity in 1915.

Consideration was given to fire protection in 1906 and a chemical fire engine was voted down in 1907. (This after large fires in 1904 and 1905 burnt many businesses).

In 1913, they bought two dozen buckets and ladders. 1911 and the more prevalent use of cars brought about the speed limit law of 10 miles per hour within the town. And so the town moved into the modern age……..

al programs can be a major catalyst for economic vitality. More than 70,000 Iowans work in the state’s creative sector, and arts, history and culture consistently rank among the top reasons that travelers visit the state. So the time to invest in Iowa culture is now.

A recent national study found that cultural nonprofits generate $5 in tax revenues for every $1 they receive from local, state and federal governments. This kind of return makes public investment in Iowa’s arts, history and culture essential for our state to remain competitive.

We understand the legislature has to make some tough decisions to balance the budget, but we firmly believe in the reason that lawmakers created the

Cultural Trust in the first place: to create a reliable funding mechanism to support Iowa culture. As our partner in growing Iowa’s cultural community and creative economy, we respectfully request that the Iowa Legislature join us in a bipartisan commitment to restoring the $6.1 million Iowa Cultural Trust.

Turkey season begins in April Hunters will be going through their equipment, patterning their guns and securing vacation days to pursue the elusive Eastern wild turkey as Iowa’s premier spring hunting season is almost here.

Spring turkey hunting begins with the youth only season April 8-16, followed by the first of four regular seasons on April 17.

“Turkey’s have home field advantage,” said Jim Coffey, forest wildlife research biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. “We are

going to his turf and trying to get him to act in a way that goes against nature. It’s a challenge.”

The good news for hunters is there is always a new population of two year old gobblers to call each spring. Those two year old birds will likely be anxious to show off their moxie as they try to establish themselves as the dominant Tom for the flock.

Hunters may purchase two spring turkey licenses, with at least one valid May 3-21 during the fourth season.

“Girls will be able to come pick a dress of their choice,� said Baysinger. “We will have dresses of all size, colors and styles. They are all gently used and kindly donated.�

Additional services will be available April 21 - 22 at the same location, helping girls with their hair and make-up leading up to the Clark and Murray proms. “They will have the oppor-

tunity to sign up for nail appointments all week leading up to those prom dates,� said Baysinger. Karla Ciecelone is donating her time and supplies.

Though they brought details together quickly and collected over 35 dresses and a dozen pairs of shoes, Baysinger and Jubell-Cook are new friends who saw a common goal. They have started collected men’s shoes as well. “I would love to help guys too,� said Jubell-Cook. “I am trying to figure out away to do that.�

Cover Crop Field Day Planned for Afton AMES — Iowa Learning Farms, in partnership with Union Couny Natural Resources Conservation Service, will host a cover crop field day Wednesday, March 29, 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at Nick and Andrea Lacina’s farm, rural Afton. The field day is free and open to the public and includes a complimentary lunch.

Union County farmers Nick and Andrea Lacina, who farm with their sons Cain and Cole, added cover crops to their operation in 2014. Reducing soil erosion is one of the motivating factors that led to the addition of winter cereal rye, oats and wheat cover crops. As cattle producers, they are grazing their cover crops to help maximize the return value through a supplemental feed source. Weather permitting, attendees will visit the nearby cover crop fields.

Also speaking at the field day is Joe Sellers, beef specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. He will share information and recommendations to maximize the

feed value of cover crops.

Liz Juchems, Iowa Learning Farms events coordinator, will lead a discussion on spring management considerations for both grazing and row crop production and share on-farm cover crop research updates and recommendations. Â The field day will be held at the Lacina Farm on Pheasant Avenue, Afton.

From Creston, head east on US-34 for nine miles. Turn left to go north on Pheasant Avenue. The farm is located on the east side of the road across from Green Lawn Cemetery. Lunch will be served inside the shop and weather permitting, the program will take place in the nearby cover crop field.

The workshop is free and open to the public, but reservations are suggested to ensure adequate space and food. Contact Liz Juchems at 515-294-5429 or email ilf@ iastate.edu. For more information about Iowa Learning Farms, visit the website: http://www.extension. iastate.edu/ilf/.

Woodburn and Murray expressed similar frustrations. It wasn’t just the revenue lost, but that it was lost without warning. The decision took place before citizens had the chance to make their case. “In hindsight, we probably should have taken no action that day and tried to get ahold of Murray,� said Councilman Doug Gay. “That’s the only regret I feel. Other than that, it doesn’t make a whole lot of financial sense.�

It’s a fairly unique arrangement between city governments, with one gifting sizable amount of money to the others with no control over how the funds are used.

It’s also unique in that no legally binding contact exists that controls the terms of the agreement.

Simmons also said Osceola Mayor Thomas Kedley insinuated the casino funds would disappear if the council didn’t vote in support of the new reservoir agreement earlier this summer. “Fearing that Murray was considering reneging on its commitment to the reservoir project, a discussion was held about Osceola’s continued support of Murray,� said Kedley. “I wasn’t trying to influence their votes. I wanted to stop funding them.�

Further, Simmons said, the June, July and August casino contributions were held up until after Murray approved the agreement. Kedley denied the contributions were held

ment said it helped demonstrate to the communities one way the whole area could benefit. If it had been intended as a long-term plan, it would have been made that way.

Others say the contributions were initially offered to swing votes in support of the casino. Fotiadis disagrees. “I know people in Murray. I know people in Woodburn,� said the councilman. “They can’t be bought. They can’t be bullied. Some of them are here proving that.�

The careful wording of Fotiadis’ motion made it clear the funds will not be used for political leverage, a sentiment echoed by others on the city council.

Said Gay, “They should vote however they want.�

until after Murray’s vote of approval. A look at Woodburn’s accounts showed the same months’ payments were delayed. Officials said it was due to city staff constraints.

In the end, said Simmons, Murray approved the new agreement based on a thorough discussion of the project. Once the council understood the new terms, the measure was passed.

to stop back over when he had more time to visit.

“You know,” he said, “I was really dreading coming over here, because last time we trimmed our trees, some people over here got pretty upset.”

“Really?” I was more puzzled now. “Did big branches fall on the church or something?”

“Nope,” he shook his head. “I think they just didn’t like losing some shade, that’s all.”

I thought, What? His trees, his yard…really?

Besides, trees need to be trimmed! “But,” I answered, “Even Jesus said that pruning is necessary – if we want to stay healthy.

Those trees will be even fuller and better looking when they bud back out.

The shade will be even better then!”

He smiled (the first smile I’d seen so far), “They’re getting a major pruning.

Way back. We don’t want to lose any of the scraggly branches if we get an ice storm like we got a while back.”

“Well, like I said, I think it’ll be great when they sprout back out in the spring. They’ll come back stronger, fuller, and probably better looking too!”

Here’s what Jesus said about that: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. You are already clean because of what I have said to you. Stay joined to me, and I will stay joined to you. Just as a branch cannot produce fruit unless it stays joined to the vine, you cannot produce fruit unless you stay joined to me. I am

Late one afternoon, the church doorbell rang. One of the church’s neighbors stood outside the door, nervously shifting from one foot to the other. What could be wrong? Was someone sick or in trouble? As I opened the door and the man began to speak, it was obvious he was nervous about something.

“Umm…sorry to bother you…” Yep, he was pretty nervous.

I asked how I could help. As he shifted his weight back and forth once more, he announced, “We’re going to have the big tree right there trimmed. Just, ummm…, wanted to let you know, because they’ll be coming with a big truck and equipment to get it done, probably this week.”

I thanked him for letting us know and told him how I admired what he and his wife had done with their patio and yard. After a bit of this kind of conversation, he seemed to be less nervous.

“I was hoping things could be different, and when you waved and said hello to us out your office window, well, I hoped….”

OK, now I was puzzled.

They seemed to be wonderful people, and I hadn’t heard anything different from other people. I thanked him again for coming over, and invited him in.

He declined, saying he had to get back home. I told him he was always welcome at the church and invited him

the vine, and you are the branches. If you stay joined to me, and I stay joined to you, then you will produce lots of fruit.” (John 15:1-7) That conversation began a new relationship with those neighbors. When they went on an extended trip, we kept an eye on their house. When our church was broken into, they stood by us, talked with the police, and now keep a closer eye on the church when we’re not there.

Like those trees, it seemed our relationship needed pruning so it could produce more fruit. When

he took the risk of ringing the church doorbell that day, he accepted the “pruning” of old dead branches in his relationship with his church neighbors. Old “branches” which were not bearing any fruit were removed, and buds of new relationship branches began to grow.

As I write this chapter, it is winter and those trees look pretty bare. But I know they’re going to look wonderful with all the new growth (and resulting shade) that will come in due time. Spring’s coming!

PREP BOWLING

From Osceola to Sioux City LeeAnn Helgevold signs with Morningside for bowling ■

By RYAN KRONBERG OST sports editor rkronberg@osceolaiowa. com

OSCEOLA — Clarke’s LeeAnn Helgevold already has an idea of what college bowling will be like, having seen older brother Damon compete at Waldorf College in Forest City.

The Lady Indians senior will put her skills to the test at the next level starting this fall.

LeeAnn Helgevold signed her letter-of-intent to bowl collegiately at Morningside College in Sioux City starting this fall.

The daughter of Dale and Lori Helgevold is ready to see what she can do at the college level.

“In terms of bowling, it’s going to be way more competitive,” LeeAnn Helgevold said. “The competition is going to be the biggest difference.”

She heads to Sioux City coming off an impressive high school career.

As a Lady Indian, she has been the team leader, particularly the past three seasons.

She capped her career with a 17th-place finish in the Class 1A state tournament this season.

As a junior, she took fifth at state, to go along with a 21st-place finish as a sophomore.

Clarke High School senior LeeAnn Helgevold, front, center, signs her letter-of-intent to bowl at Morningside College in Sioux City. Looking on is her father, and Clarke High School coach Dale Helgevold, front, left, mother Lori, front right, brother Damon, who bowls at Waldorf College in Forest City, back, left, and younger sister and teammate this season Landi, back, right.

In her senior season, she was named the Class 1A Central District Bowler of the year and a first-team all-state selection in Class 1A and first-team all-central district selection. She was also named to the Iowa High School Bowling All-Academic team.

On the lane, she had the high average in regular season meets with a 178.5, which increased to 182.4 with regionals and state.

Now she’s off to join Morningside coach Stephen Gonshorowski’s team in Sioux City.

Gonshorowski watched

LeeAnn at state.

“Watching her, he realizes he’s getting a special individual,” said Clarke coach, and LeeAnn’s father, Dale Helgevold. “She has a passion for the game, is willing to do what it takes to continue to improve.”

Gonshorowski understands what’s coming to Sioux City this fall.

“It’s nice to have bowlers that are well-coached and familiar with bowling,” Gonshorowski said. “She has a good background and good coaching. You can see that pretty quickly.”

The margin for error at

the college level is much tighter than in high school..

“The biggest thing is keeping the speed the same, making sure you’re on the same board all the time,” Gonshorowski said. “If you’re a board off at the high school level, you can get away with it. If you’re a board off at the college level, you’re off.”

The team works well together, Gonshorowski noted.

“A lot of the time, it’s not the coaches, it’s somebody on the team, a junior or a senior that will step up and help them,” Gonshorowski

said.

The competition level in college is intense, he noted.

“It’s really competitive,” Gonshorowski said.

LeeAnn Helgevold looks forward to that challenge.

“In terms of bowling, it’s going to be way more competitive,” she said. “That’s going to be the biggest difference.”

College bowling continues to grow and expand, Gonshorowski noted.

Camaraderie within the college bowling community makes it special.

“They all get along and support each other,” Gon-

shorowski said. “It’s fun, exciting. People are talking across three, four, five lanes.

It’s almost like a league night at the bowling alley.

These kids all know each other.”

Bowling, academics and Sioux City’s big city atmosphere added up to the right fit for LeeAnn. She plans on majoring in elementary education or special education.

“When it comes to bowling, to school, what I’m going to go into, it’s where my heart’s at,” she said. “I’m going to enjoy every minute of it.”
