MELINDA MACKEY The CD baseball season comes to an end with a call at the plate. We lost by one, and even though it was a tough game, we were there to play it. In all my years of watching the boys play baseball, this was a first for us to play for the district title. We have come so far as a ball club. I remember years playing Southeast Warren and Martensdale St. Mary’s and never getting close to a win. This year we were contenders with all of them. It was the most amazing season, and it is the strangest feeling for it to be over. Six of the team are seniors and that seems to be a lot, but it’s a good strong team that will take over next year.

We’ll always be Cardinals.

Don’t forget the free school lunches for kids 18 and under will still be going on through the month of July: Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Dinners at the Community Center will be on Friday, July 20th ham balls, sweet potatoes, breaded tomatoes and cherry crisp. On Tuesday, July 24th it will be a choice of liver and onions or a hamburger with hash brown casserole, mixed vegetable, and applesauce. Call 773-5436 for questions or to order.

Have a great week!

Your Course to College

By: Dr. Jesse O. Bolinger Education is valuable and is something that everyone should have access to regardless of your circumstances; however, I know that not everyone feels that they have access to higher education.

Therefore, I set a goal to hold at least one workshop related to federal financial aid and college access before the end of my term of AmeriCorps VISTA service. Though a partnership with the Iowa College Student Aid Commission, just such a workshop will take place!

On Saturday, August 4th “Your Course to College” will talk about how to pay for college and much more.

This free workshop will focus on

three main topics: • Getting to college: Choosing a school and major, applying for admission • Affording college: Types of financial aid and how to get it • Succeeding in college: Making a successful transition from high school, completing a degree This free workshop will take place at the Barnum Community Center, 302 NE 4th St in Decatur City beginning at 2:00PM. Elizabeth Sedral, Communications Coordinator for Iowa College Aid says that “College opens so many doors, but we know that getting there can be an intimidating process-choosing a school, lining up financial aid and making the transition from high school. We’re here to guide students and families through every step.”

For those who are unable to attend we plan to live-stream the event via the Decatur county Development Corporation AmeriCorps VISTA Facebook page. We want to ensure that if you are unable to attend the event in person that you are still able to access the information.

Any handouts from the event will be made available via the AmeriCorps VISTA section of the Decatur County Development Corporation website www.dcdciowa.org and Facebook page www. facebook.com/dcdcav.

Over the remainder of my term of service as a VISTA, I encourage anyone who has questions, comments or ideas about how to improve the quality of life in Decatur County to contact me. I enjoy having conversations with

individuals who wish to share their own personal experience and am always willing to visit with any individual or group. Please feel free to contact me by phone at (641)455-2896 or by e-mail at jbolinger@ dcdciowa.org.

Spent the day Saturday with the good friends, the Helseths enjoying a little boating, skiing, tubing and knee boarding. I participated in them all.

I was a little rusty at first on the skis but it is like riding a bicycle...it came back to me...sort of. Ha! Keith warned me at the end of the day that I was going to be sore Sunday.

Boy I hate it that he was right. I could barely move, but it was enjoyable.

Mac even took a liking to knee boarding, well stomach boarding as was in his case. He never wanted to get up on his knees and he was quite content doing his own thing. Ha! oOo Hard to believe that the county fair starts this week. It is great to see all of the youth’s accomplishments that they have been working on this past year. Get out there and support them. They are our future. As for me, I will be looking for help from my girls to take a few photos. No rest this week. Until the next...So Long!

Cardinals Have Great Run in Districts - 12 years Since Played for District Championships

The Cardinal lead off batter Carter Boothe, smacked his first-time career home run over the left field fence, to tie the game 1-1 against Melcher Dallas. (photo by Maizee Lindsey) The Cardinals traveled to Milo three times this past week for post season District games, marking the first time since 2006 for the CD baseball to be playing in the District Championship game. Districts began on Tuesday, July 10, with CD beating Melcher Dallas 5-4 before surprising Moravia with the 9-4 win on Thursday, then bowing out to SEW, 2-3 on Saturday in the District Championship game.

Cardinal baseball ended with a 20-11 record, only the third time that the program has won 20 games (1989 and 2001).

Vs. Melcher Dallas

The Cardinals were the home team against Melcher Dallas in the first round of Districts.

The lead off Melcher Dallas batter, with one strike, scored a run on his home run hit.

The ironic thing is Carter Boothe responded as the Cardinal lead off batter, with one strike also, hitting his first-time home run to tie the game, 1-1 after the first.

The Cardinals allowed only three at bats for Melcher Dallas in the second and third inning while tallying up another 2 Cardinal runs in the second.

Kolby Hewlett lead off with a walk.

Then with two outs, C. Boothe earned a base hit before advancing around the bases on errors by Melcher Dallas, scoring Dakota Reed as courtesy runner for Hewlett and C. Boothe. The Cardinals

held a 3-1 lead after the third.

In the top of the fourth, Hewlett jumpstarted the inning with a strike out before Rylon O’Dell came in to pitch.

O’Dell gave up a walk and a hit but then grabbed the strike out and teammate Michel Evertsen ended the inning on the unassisted out at first.

The Cardinals were scoreless in the fourth and both teams remained scoreless in the fifth.

C. Boothe came in to relieve O’Dell at the mound, holding Melcher Dallas scoreless in the top of the sixth while adding another Cardinal run. The Cardinals at the top of their line-up made some noise. C. Boothe lead off with a single through the right side of second earning second on a stolen base. Kolton Johnson executed his job by placing down a bunt to reach first. Ricky Marcus took one for the team to reach first and advance the runners. With bases loaded, on two outs, O’Dell wore a pitch earning first while scoring C. Boothe. The inning ended on a strike out.

Melcher Dallas was able to wake up their bats and take advantage of a couple Cardinal errors in the final inning, adding 3 runs to tie the game.

The first two batters earned bases on a walk and hit pitch, respectivley.

Evertsen at second made the first out on a caught fly ball followed by C.

took the Moravia Mohawks by surprise with the 9-4 win on Thursday, July 12 at Milo in the second round of Districts.

After the first inning, the Cardinals were down 0-2. Offensively, Carter Boothe lead off for the Cardinals reaching first on a single through the left side before advancing to second on Kolton Johnson’s sacrifice bunt. Ricky Marcus was able to get the bat on the ball on a hit to short stop but was unable to beat out the throw. The top of the first ended on a Cardinal strike out.

The lead off Mohawk batter earned first on a walk, second on a stolen base, third on a fielder’s choice before crossing the plate on a Cardinal error. The second run was scored on back to back singles. The Cardinals retired the inning on a perfect throw down by Tyler Davis to Ricky Marcus at third for the caught stealing attempt.

On one out in the second inning, Rylon O’Dell smacked a ball to center field but was stripped of the hit on the catch. Kolby Hewlett worked to start a rally with a base hit through the left side of the field but was left stranded when Haden Leymaster ‘s hard hit to center was caught.

The Mohawks

lead off batter reached first on balls but was later caught in a run down, with the Cardinals coming ahead on the deal with the tag. Davis started the pickle with a hard throw to Carter Boothe who was ready on second surprising the Mohawk runner. When the runner attempted to steal third, Boothe relayed to Marcus on third. With the rundown in motion, Marcus threw to Michel Evertsen on second before back to Boothe at third base who clearly had the wheels to outrun the Mohawk, ending with the successful tag. The final out was grabbed with Marcus’ quick reaction snatching the hard linedrive. After the second inning, the Cardinals still trailed 0-2.

The Cardinal bats made some noise in the third inning to tie the game, 2-2. Matt Boothe lead off hitting the first pitch hard to right field but the ball was caught.

Carter Boothe was patient reaching first on balls Johnson advances Boothe to second but was out at first on the sacrifice. On two outs, Marcus drops one behind second base to score Boothe and earn second. Marcus advanced to third on a pass ball. T. Davis reached first on a walk. Evertsen hits to short and reaches first on the throwing errow, while scoring Marcus and getting Tyke Hullinger as

courtesy runner for T. Davis to third base. The top of the inning ended on a Cardinal strike out.

The Cardinal defense held tight allowing only three up. The lead off Mohawk batter earned first on a Cardinal error before stealing second successfully but T. Davis said not on my clock will you earn third with the perfect throw to Marcus with plenty of time to put on the tag. Hewlett earned the first out on a strike out and Johnson in center ended the inning with the catch.

The Cardinals added another run for the 3-2 lead after the fourth inning. Hewlett lead off with a hit to short stop but was unable to beat out the throw. Leymaster followed with a walk but was thrown out at second on the fielder’s choice hit to short stop

by M. Boothe. On two outs, the Cardinals rallied again with C. Boothe hitting through the left side of second scoring his brother. Johnson was able to get the bat on the ball but was unable to beat out the throw to first.

The Cardinal defense held the Mohwaks with a quick 1-2-3 strike out by Hewlett at the mound followed with Johnson making a nice catch in center. A hit to right field that David

Boothe earning the strike out from the mound. The top of the line-up hitter smacked another home run in the same spot as the first inning, bringing in three to tie the game.

Evertsen was patient at the plate earning first on balls. O’Dell put down a nice bunt reaching first but T. Hullinger, courtesy runner for T. Davis, was thrown out at third.

Evertsen and O’Dell each advanced a base on a wild pitch, putting them in scoring position. With the new Mohawk pitcher, Hewlett responded with a hit short of left field, scoring Evertsen and just a step shy of scoring O’Dell, ending the inning on the tag at home.

In the bottom of the fifth, the Mohawks were able to answer back with 2 runs to tie the game, 4-4. With two outs, the Moravia hit to Marcus took a high bounce for the unplayable ball, earning the Mohawk a base hit and RBI. The next Mohawk hit to the right field, earning another hit and run but on the attempt to score a second run, the Cardinals had a great relay starting with D. Walker in right field into Evertsen who relayed to T. Davis for the easy tag, ending the inning.

The Cardinals executed another successful rundown on a hit to Boothe, checking the runner and starting and finishing the relay with another tag. The Mohawks earned a couple bases on Cardinal errors but were left stranded on base. The Cardinals had the 5-4 lead heading into the final inning.

The Cardinals finished strong in their last at bat, batting around the entire line-up. Evertsen lead off with a walk, advancing to second on a perfectly placed bunt

by O’Dell. On the pass

ball at first, Coach sent Evertsen home but was surprisingly called out, with O’Dell earning third.

Hewlett reached first on balls. Leymaster followed with a base hit to left field, earning second while scoring Tyke Hullinger as pinch runner for O’Dell. M. Boothe continued the momentum with a base hit through short stop loading up the bases.

C. Boothe followed with a solid hit but Hewlett was forced out at home. With two outs and the bases still loaded, Johnson drives the first pitch to right center cleaning off the bases and earning him a double bagger. T. Davis was disappointed at the plate to end the top of the seventh with the 9-4 lead.

The Mohawks couldn’t have asked for any better position, at the top of their line-up. This had no effect on the Cardinals as they finished the job they came for grabbing a quick fly ball catch in left field by Leymaster.

After the next Mohawk reached first on balls, O’Dell came in to relieve Hewlett at the mound finishing the game with a strike out and the final out on a simple field and throw to first. The Cardinals won 9-4 in the second round of Districts, advancing to play in the District Championships against SEW on Saturday.

Johnson lead the bats with a double bagger that brought in 3 runs, along with C. Boothe with 2 hits and 2 RBIs, Hewlett with 2 hits and 1 RBI, and Marcus and Leymaster each with 1 hit and 1 RBI.

Hewlett recorded the win from the mound pitching 6 1/3 innings, earning 4 strike outs and giving up 5 walks. O’Dell finished the final 2/3 innings recording 1 strike out and giving up no walks.

Vs. SEW In the District Championship game on Saturday, against the SEW Warhawks, the Cardinals were down 0-3 after the second, with a couple of errors in the first inning to give up the first two runs before SEW earned the third run in the second inning.

In the top of the fourth, T. Davis leading off for the Cardinals, hits the first pitch smacking his fifth home run of the season to light up the scoreboard for the Cardinals.

In the top of the fifth, C. Boothe lead off, beating out the throw to earn first. Johnson put down another perfectly placed bunt, wheeling his way to first after SEW bobbled (continued on page 12)

Rodger’s Recollections

by Rodger Gatton The City of Leon furnishes a large container on the site of the old Leon Clinic, and Decatur County has a similar one at the County Yards, at the bottom of the depot hill. These are placed so residents of Leon and the county can leave off their items for recycling.

I have, for years, done my best to recycle everything I can, and I’m now getting the cooperation of one or more of my renters. If you have not started to recycle, I invite you to join the others who have. One of the reasons given for recycling is to prevent the local landfill from filling up so fast. Another reason is to save natural resources that would have to be used to make new items, if recycled materials were not available.

Theoretically, everything that has a number in the recycling triangle found on the bottom of many products, can be recycled.

Some facilities, however, are not able to recycle every type of item that could be recycled. Other items are not recycled because there is no market for them once they are gathered together and sorted. There would have to be a manufacturer somewhere with the capability of actually using the recycled material.

Clear (colorless) glass bottles and jars are welcomed, preferably rinsed and without their caps. I wonder sometimes as I’m rinsing a can, or glass or plastic bottle, if maybe the amount of water I’m using to rinse it might cost more than the recycled material is worth. If I’m using hot water to rinse it, then I’m pretty sure it’s not cost-effective. I recently read or heard that new glass bottles can be made as cheaply from the raw materials as from recycled glass.

However, a web site I checked out just before writing this, from the Glass Packaging Institute, claims that significant energy is saved by making bottles and jars from recycled glass.

Even though the main ingredient is sand, and we probably don’t have to worry about running out of that natural resource, there still would be the cost of mining it, transporting and cleaning it, before it could be used.

These glass or glasslike items are not welcomed, or usable for recycling: colored glass, window glass, ceramics, dishes (including glasses), light bulbs, broken glass, or pottery.

Plastic bottles and jugs can be recycled.

They will usually have a “1” or a “2” in the little triangle on the bottom.

They also should be rinsed and without caps, and flattened if possible to take up less room in the dumpster. The list I am consulting does not seem to restrict plastic bottles to only colorless ones, so I’m guessing laundry detergent, fabric softener, and other colored jugs would be OK. The blue fabric softener bottle I just checked is a number 2.

These plastic items would not be welcomed, nor usable, and will eventually end up in a landfill anyhow, so you might as well put them out with

your weekly trash: motor oil or pesticide containers (likely ones that held engine or gas tank additives as well), Styrofoam of any kind or shape, grocery or trash bags, film, toys, hose, or pipe. Some of those things probably can be recycled somewhere, but will not be useful in the facility where the local dumpsters are going.

Most cardboard and paper is accepted for recycling. This includes cardboard, both corrugated and flat, newspapers and their inserts, magazines, catalogs, and junk mail. I expect your old phone books would be recyclable as well. Cardboard boxes should be flattened to take up less space.

At present, hardbound books are not wanted, nor is tissue paper, and probably not your used napkins, paper towels and paper plates.

Since hard-bound books are mentioned specifically, I must assume that paperback books are OK to place in the bin.

I can’t help but notice, almost every time I haul my recyclables to the bin, there are a number of items people have left which are totally unsuited for recycling, at least with the company where these containers go. Recently, someone had placed about a half-dozen styrofoam containers in the bin, the ones in which you bring your restaurant leftovers home, formerly known as “doggy bags”.

These were all closed and stacked neatly in the dumpster. The facility that Leon and Decatur County uses does not recycle Styrofoam containers, and even if they did they wouldn’t have wanted the ones I saw, which still had scraps of leftover food in them.

Another item to throw in the trash is a pizza box. Pizza boxes are generally a bit greasy on the inside and evidently it’s not easy to separate the cardboard from the grease. Likewise, a brown paper bag could probably be recycled, but if it has held your greasy sandwich or french fries, chances are they can’t use it. Aluminum foil, Saran Wrap, waxed paper, Press ‘n Seal, and sandwich and storage bags used to cover food, or hold food, need to be put in your trash, not taken for recycling. Also, if you’re taking your items to the bin in plastic bags, just put in the items and take the bags back home with you, please. I’m guessing also that bubble wrap is not recyclable.

I look forward to the day when plastic bottles and jugs, and the 5-gallon buckets that once contained motor oil, will be accepted for recycling. It’s sad that they haven’t been before now, because they sure represent a lot of wasted plastic. Plastic is made from petroleum, so it also wastes our oil when new ones have to be constantly produced.

Steel and aluminum food and drink cans are excellent items to recycle. They also should be rinsed. It’s not necessary to remove the labels from cans, but you may if you wish.

Other items that would not be appreciated in the recycling

dumpsters are small appliances and other kitchen utensils, pots and pans, paint or solvent cans, or aerosol cans.

Leon Recycling, south of town can take your scrap metals, maybe even pay you something if you have an accumulation of items.

Yes, I know I’ve talked about this topic before, but from some of the strange items I’ve seen in the bins lately, it appears there are still some who have no clue about what to put in, and what to leave out.

While I encourage you once again to recycle, please keep in mind the items that are useful to the recycling company and not waste space in the big container with things that should go into your trash can.

Motion Kuster/B Rehm to continue with Brian Murphy as Operator for another month.

Ayes: Kuster, B Rehm, Hamilton. Nays: P Rehm. Motion passed.

Burn pile discussion. Johnson offered the option of moving the burn pile west from its current location, and bringing it up to all IDNR requirements such as fencing. Then if each resident within ¼ mile would sign a waiver, the burn pile would be in compliance. B Rehm said he would not sign the waiver, so there was no need to pursue

that option.

B Rehm said to discontinue the temporary contractor agreement to mow the campground and the lagoon, and he would mow them with city equipment.

it, also advancing Boothe.

On a balk, Boothe and Johnson both advanced to scoring position. Marcus followed with a line drive to short stop, for a base hit, scoring Boothe.

When T. Davis was up to bat, D. Reed, as courtesy runner for Marcus, took advantage on a wild pitch earning second. T. Davis with an 0-2 count, was intentionally walked, loading up the bases. Evertsen returned to the dugout on a strike out. O’Dell was able to get the bat on the

ball to short stop, reaching first on a fielder’s choice but Johnson was thrown out at home. The inning ended with a strike out, leaving 3 Cardinals stranded.

With a one run ballgame, the Cardinal defense stayed strong in the bottom of the fifth. With one out, and Warhawk runners on first and second, Hewlett guaranteed the second out, even with the infield fly call. Marcus finished the inning taking charge from the mound

with the strike out.

The Warhawk defense was tight, and the Cardinals continued to swing with confidence, working for opportunities. With two outs, bases were earned with Boothe reaching first on balls.

Johnson followed with a solid single. With Marcus up to bat, both runners advanced a base on a wild pitch. The diving catch by the Warhawk on the hard knock by Marcus, between left and center, left the Cardinals stranded.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Warhawks earned a couple back to back singles, putting base
