The Guthrie Center School District Board of Education’s Jan.
19 meeting touched on several
topics, including goals, finances
and the future of the school.
During the working meeting, board members were able
to tour the buildings — visiting
buildings and classrooms, and
sometimes sitting in a classroom
and visiting with students and
teachers, before reporting back
to the meeting.
“This is always a good day, and
I think the board members appreciate the day that was spent,”
Superintendent Steve Smith said.
“We talked about things you
don’t always have a chance to
talk about, maybe because it’s
not on the agenda.”
The Iowa Small Business Development
Center For North Central Iowa aims to partner
with rural communities to fill empty storefronts with thriving businesses, regional director Jamie Kilian told a group of business
owners and community leaders in Guthrie
Center last week.
Located in Fort Dodge, the center serves
Audubon, Calhoun, Carroll, Greene, Guthrie, Hamilton, Humboldt, Pocahontas, Sac
and Webster counties.
The center provides free counseling services
to entrepreneurs and existing businesses
with less than 500 employees. It also works
with local governments and organizations
to provide low-cost workshops ranging from
how to start a business and manage marketing to succession planning for owners looking to transition their business and retire, a
process that should start two to three years
before the owner hopes to leave, Kilian said.

Main Street Guthrie Center led a discussion
group referred to as the “Partners Group”
last Thursday to further discuss 2015 goals
and priorities for Guthrie Center. The Partners Group is comprised of representatives
from not only Main Street Guthrie Center
but the Guthrie Center Chamber of Commerce, Guthrie Center Economic Development, City of Guthrie Center and Guthrie
Center Revitalization. This group last met
in late September 2014 and will continue
to meet quarterly throughout 2015.
The main purpose of this series of meetings is to increase communication among
the partnering organizations and also to
the public about the work that is happening within the Guthrie Center community.

business construction projects.
Project officials predict that the
construction work being done on
about 17 downtown businesses
is on track to meet the project’s
extended deadline of April 30.
Construction and design representatives for the project typically meet with city officials and
building owners once or twice a
month. During the last meeting
on Jan. 15, they discussed parts
of the project that will need to
be delayed until the weather is
better.
Although the work originally
was slated to be completed by
Dec. 31, weather delays caused
the Guthrie Center City Council
to agree early in December to extend the project until April 30.
Now, City Clerk Laura Imerman
said, construction workers — out
of Koester Construction in Grimes
— might need to pause their work
completely after the end of the
week until the weather improves.
Additional work, such as painting, stucco work and caulking,
can’t be done when it’s too cold,
she said.
She added that the April 30 deadline doesn’t mean the work will
necessarily last that long. The proj-
ect could be completed earlier,
depending on the weather.
The project is a result of a
$500,000 grant awarded to Guthrie
Center in 2013 through the federal Community Development
Block Grant program. The grant
is intended to revitalize business
buildings whose conditions are
determined to be fair to poor, said
Scotney Fenton, a partner with
RDG Planning & Design, the Des
Moines company handling the
architecture and design end of
the project.
Having the local newspaper
shut down can be tough on a
small community.
When it happened in Elk Horn,
a small Danish community about
40 miles to the west — the Danish
Villages Voice printed for the last
time around Christmastime —
several residents tried to fill the
gap the paper’s leaving had left.
But their solution — a Facebook news page sustained by
submitted content — isn’t viable,
said Douglas Burns, co-owner
of Herald Publishing Co., which

Gentiva Hospice
Introduces Memory
Care Program
FarmersOnly.com
dating site boasts 2
million members
PANORA
‘City folks just don’t get it’
In an effort to better support
the needs of the community,
Gentiva Hospice, a member of
the Gentiva Health Services
family of home health and
hospice providers, is bringing a new concept to its hospice care. Gentiva’s Memory
Care specialty is the first of
its kind, reaching out to the
growing number of patients,
families and caregivers who
suffer from the effects of Alzheimer’s and other forms of
dementia.
As the national leader in
homecare, Gentiva has created this specialized care to
address what amounts to
an epidemic in the country. The statistics speak for
themselves. According to the
Alzheimer’s Association, dementia, which includes Alzheimer’s, is the sixth leading
cause of death among those
65 or older, and half of those
over the age of 85 suffer from
the disease. In addition, dementia often accompanies
other conditions, and any
diagnosis accompanied by
dementia leads to a greater
need for care.
“Dementia is reaching a
crisis state in this country,
and going forward, caring for
this sector of the population
is only going to become more
urgent.” said Gentiva’s Senior
By DOUGLAS BURNS
You’ve seen the
commercials. That
catchy country jingle
— “You don’t have to
be lonely” — may even
be bouncing around
between the ears now.
FarmersOnly.com — a loveconnection website for rural
Americans (and Canadians) —
has grown from an idea in 2005
to a paid social network with
more than 2 million members.
Yes, farmers and ranchers
are a central part of the site.
The culture around those rural enterprises drives FarmersOnly, gives it its character and
ethos. But FarmersOnly is not
exclusively for folks involved
in production agriculture, says
Nicole Stivers, community marketing director for the Pepper
Pike, Ohio-based online dating site.
“It’s more about the lifestyle,”
Stivers said in a phone interview
this week from her rural home
in California’s Central Valley.
FarmersOnly is for people
who respect and appreciate the
ways of small-town America,
of farms and main streets and
straight talk and strong values,
she said.
“I like to call ourselves the
mom and pop store of dating
sites because everything we do
is so personable,” Stivers said.
She said the FarmersOnly
business model is based on
a keen understanding of rural life and farmers.
“Without them, our whole
economy would be nothing,”
Stivers said. “It’s the backbone
of our economy. They are the
people that feed you three times
a day.”
Isolation can make connec-
tions difficult, and there is often a cultural disconnect between rural and urban patrons
on other dating sites, she said.
According to Stivers, FarmersOnly.com is the brainchild of
Jerry Miller who has done marketing and public relations for
thousands of farms and ranches
across the country. While talking to one farmer, Miller had a
revelation: Recently divorced,
the farmer expressed her frustration of how difficult it was
to meet someone new.
She signed up on one of the
biggest national dating sites
soon after their conversation.
The woman’s take on that:
“I tried that, and people just
don’t understand. They want to
meet at coffee at 9 a.m. (which
is not convenient for all people
in production agriculture).”
A month later, Miller asked
her how her luck was with online dating. She replied, even
more frustrated, “The men who
have been contacting me don’t
understand the lifestyle of a
farmer,” she told Jerry. “They
don’t have a clue!”
This would, according to
Stivers, later lead to the site’s
slogan. “City folks just don’t
get it!”
Stivers said the site has a mission to keep rural American
vibrant through making connections that allow families to
have offspring who continue
a way of life.
“We’re doing a helping hand
in keeping American farm families alive,” Stivers said. “We do
our small part in keeping these
families going. We’re building
this community that is just beyond our wildest dreams.”
One dynamic prevalent on
the site is women from cities
looking for rural men to date.
“A lot of those boys were
raised to be gentlemen,” Stivers said. “That’s a hard thing
to find. That brings a lot of city
girls to the site.”
The site is careful to screen its
members. No married people
are allowed. The majority of
love connections are between
heterosexual couples, but the
site is open to same-sex arrangements.
The site allows patrons a
trial run and offers a variety
paid packages. A quick review
of the site shows male and female members from rural Iowa.
Stivers said members can
be from age 18 into their 80s.
“We’ve had people well into
their 80s actually find somebody who is a success story,”
Stivers said.
National Hospice Medical Director, Dr. Ronald J. Crossno,
MD, FAAFP, FAAHPM. “Gentiva is responding to this need
with specialized training for
its clinicians, social workers,
and others who work with
patients and families.”
In addition to this training,
Gentiva’s Memory Care program incorporates measures
to help with the symptoms
of dementia and to assess for
vulnerabilities prevalent with
those with dementia, such as
falls and infections. Gentiva
has also created a caregiver’s guide that helps educate
families about how to care
for someone with dementia
and Alzheimer’s. And all of
this is supported by Gentiva’s
network of national and local
medical directors with expertise in the care and oversight
of dementia patients.
“Having this program in
our community is a gift,”
said Crossno. “It is something that will truly reach
so many people and provide
the help they need in a way
that no one else in hospice
is addressing.”

Sparky’s
fight results
in several
charges
Three Guthrie County residents
were charged after a report of
an assault in Bayard.
The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office received a call Jan.
12 regarding an alleged assault
at Sparky’s One Stop in Bayard.
Through video surveillance,
statements and interviews, officers discovered that a verbal
fight inside the store had become
physical in the parking lot. The
incident resulted in several charges. Amy L. Chapman of Bagley
was charged with assault and
disorderly conduct. Johnathon
Kennedy of Bagley and Randy
D. Esslinger were both charged
with disorderly conduct. All of
the charges are simple misdemeanors.
CRIME
Man arrested
following
accusation
of gun threat
A local man was arrested after
he was accused of shoplifting
and threatening to bring a gun
to a store.
The Guthrie County Sheriff’s
Office was called to Sparky’s One
Stop in Bayard the evening of Jan.
17 with a report of shoplifting.
The man in question had left
when officers arrived at the store.
Clerks told officers that Collin D. Richards, 18, of Bayard,
had been caught shoplifting and
told clerks he would return to the
store with a gun. Officers found
Richards at his home soon after.
They did not find a gun, but they
did find that Richards had drug
paraphernalia in his possession
when he was arrested. He was
charged with intimidation with
a dangerous weapon, a felony,
as well as three counts of firstdegree harassment, possession
of drug paraphernalia and fifthdegree theft, all misdemeanors.
Richards was booked into the
Guthrie County Jail before posting bond and being released.
CRIME
Firearms
found in
felon’s home
A convicted felon received
several new citations last week.
During a search of Jamie D.
Christensen’s residence in rural
Redfield Jan. 14, officers found
marijuana, numerous long guns
and a significant amount of ammunition.
Christensen is a convicted felon, after a 2008 Guthrie County
conviction of operating while
intoxicated — third offense.
He was cited with possession
of marijuana — first offense, a
misdemeanor, and felon in possession of a firearm, a felony.

Wildlife surviving winter
WEDDING
By Joe Wilkinson
Iowa Department of Natural
Resources
no wildlife feeding
A week of subzero cold early
this month—and more yet to
come—provide a quick jolt of
Iowa reality. It gets uncomfortable in the winter! Still, we
humans can escape the elements when needed. We just
go inside. Not so, with wildlife.
Some take the easy way out.
“Waterfowl are smarter than
all those other critters. They
have wings. They fly away,”
explains Al Hancock, of Clear
Lake. Of course, he would feel
that way. He’s an Iowa DNR
waterfowl specialist.
“It’s a simple balancing act.
Geese need very little open water. As long as they can find
fields to feed in--windswept,
bare crop fields—they will remain,” says Hancock. “When
it takes more food to maintain
energy to survive up here…
they fly right out.”
Some look for a cold weather oasis.
“Ducks do it even more so,”
says Hancock. “A ‘micro climate,’ say a city waste water
lagoon, a stream or the drainage just below? If it’s out of the
wind, a few mallards will stick
around.”
Mammals have various survival methods. Some hibernate.
Others lie low, but eat as much
as they can.
“You might find deer moving
earlier to feed; in the afternoon
rather than as dusk falls,” notes
DNR forest research technician
Jim Coffey. They have larger
body mass; larger frames—
efficient for maintaining core
temperature.
“Deer have hollow hairs, in-
Pour out some corn for the
pheasants? Worst thing you
can do.
If it’s near a food source;
great. That needed cover is
nearby.
You may have your heart in
the right place. However,
predators also enjoy it.
Dumping grain pretty well
guarantees anything with
paws, claws, beaks and
bellies will get their fill, as
well.
Also…waterfowl watchers,
and more recently deer
biologists, point to the
spread of disease as a
reason NOT to concentrate
wildlife in one location.
Disease can be spread
by close contact, such as
dozens of deer muzzles
browsing on the same food
source.
Want to help game birds
get through the winter?
Plant the habitat they need.
sulating them from the cold,”
says Coffey. “That’s why you see
them (bedded down) and covered with snow. It won’t melt.”
In the woodlands, it is adapt
or die. Found around Iowa, the
20-pound-plus eastern wild
turkey is the largest of five subspecies in the U.S. Again, its
larger body mass is more efficient. Black and brown feathers
absorb heat. By fluffing those
feathers, they hold in heat.
“They will minimize heat
loss, by roosting downhill,
out of the wind,” says Coffey.
If it gets too cold, they hunker
down. They can go ten days
without food; or wade through
ten inches of snow (to find it).”
Pheasant populations, survival and lack of habitat in Iowa
have been well documented in
the last decade. They do well
for about eight months a year.
It’s the cold weather season
that does them in.
“Four years--2007-2011--really brought to our attention
the extreme winter weather,”
stresses DNR upland wildlife
technician Mark McInroy. “It
has drawn our focus to more
winter habitat; for survival in
extreme conditions.”
That means more than native
grasses; even cattail marshes;
which protect pheasants and
other grassland birds in first
level snowstorms.
“A lot of times they fill quickly,” warns McInroy. “(Then,)
we’re talking shrubs; really
course, heavy stemmed stuff.
Ragweed, willow bats; shelter belts with several rows of
shrubs and pines are good.”
Put them near a food source
and most pheasants can ride
out the extreme weather that
has collared Iowa recently. And
that the same cover helps other
wildlife species, too.
On the plus side, Iowa’s favorite game bird has staged a
bit of a comeback. “Our bird
numbers are getting to probably the best we’ve seen in six,
eight years. We finally had a
break this winter from all the
extremes. It’s been a pretty good
hunting year,” he proclaims.
DNR
Acres remain
for landowners
wanting to improve
pheasant habitat
Iowa Department of
Natural Resources
Time is running out for
landowners in Iowa’s 46 best
pheasant counties to secure
funding to restore pheasant
habitat in Iowa’s core pheasant range.
The Iowa Pheasant Recovery – State Acres for Wildlife
Enhancement (SAFE) program is for Iowa landowners who want to restore top
notch pheasant habitats to
their property. It is a new
USDA continuous CRP practice designed to restore native grasslands and wetlands
where they will be the most
beneficial for ring-necked
pheasants.
Iowa received 50,000 acres
split between the 46 primary
pheasant counties (37,500)
and the 31 secondary pheasant counties (12,500). The
31 secondary counties enrolled all 12,500 acres before the 2014 pheasant season opened. An estimated
20,000 acres remain in the 46
primary pheasant counties.
“We are getting a lot of
pressure from landowners
in the secondary counties to
release these acres so they
can make offers to enroll,”
said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife biologist with
the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
“Landowners in primary
pheasant counties who are
interested in this program
shouldn’t wait to contact us
because acres may be shifted
to the secondary counties,”
Bogenschutz said.
Primary pheasant counties are Adair, Adams, Audubon, Boone, Bremer, Buena
Vista, Butler, Calhoun, Carroll, Cass, Cherokee, Clay,
Dickinson, Emmet, Franklin, Greene, Grundy, Hamilton, Hancock, Hardin, Humboldt, Ida, Iowa, Jasper, Johnson, Keokuk, Kossuth, Lyon,
Mahaska, Marshall, Muscatine, Obrien, Osceola, Palo
Alto, Plymouth, Pocahontas,
Poweshiek, Sac, Sioux, Story,
Union, Wapello, Washington, Webster, Winnebago
and Wright.
Pheasant and other grassland birds are particularly
vulnerable to harsh winters
and wet springs. Restoring
top quality winter and nesting/brood-rearing habitat
will help pheasant populations recover and could boost
annual harvest by 100,000
roosters.
CRP rental rates are at an
all-time high in Iowa. Landowners should contact the
Iowa Department of Natural
Resources Wildlife Bureau
private lands staff to discuss
eligibility and cost share assistance. A map of DNR staff
contacts and a factsheet on
the Iowa Pheasant Recovery
program is available at www.

a school year = 282,000 words
and 50th percentile. Student “C”
reads 1 minutes each day - 180
minutes in a school year = 8,000
words with 10th percentile.
By the end of 6th grade Student
“A” will have read the equivalent

“B” will have read only 12 school
days. Which student would you

so no on ever quite knows what’s
up their sleeve; seldom finishes
anything they start; has a reputation that they are not to be
trusted; dismisses other people’s
ideas without due consideration;
interrupts others frequently; perceived others as a threat when
they are successful or come up
with good ideas; refuses to admit mistakes or weaknesses; is
always evasive, refusing to give
a straight answer to a question;
is uninterested in what is important to others.
If a coworker has exhibited two
or more of the above characteristics, it’s official - you have a
difficult person on your hands.
“If you’re like most people,
you’ve got at least one difficult
person in your life or at your
job - perhaps several,” says Dr.
Alan Zimmerman, PhD, author
of the payoff principle: Discover

You Want Out of Life and Work.”
They could be called coworkers,
vendors, customers, partners,
etc. The problem is those difficult people are making your life
a lot less pleasant and your job
a great deal more challenging,
unless you have the right remedies to deal with them.”
Dr. Zimmerman, who has spoken in front of more than a million people over the last thirty
years to a variety of organizations
from Fortune 500 companies to
small and medium-sized businesses, offering the strategies
that can be employed to take
charge of any workplace situation and actually put sanity and
productivity into those difficult
relationships.
In constructive, actionable
commentary, Dr. Zimmerman
will offer - 5 characteristics of
all difficult people ... so you can
spot them ... on the spot; 8 strategies for taking care of yourself
when someone is irritating you,
hurting you, or driving you crazy;
recognizing the different types
of difficult people and how they
can destroy your career, your
relationship, and your mental
health; applying simple, practical, and effective communication
strategies to stop Critics, Control
Freaks, Martyrs, Exploders, Silent
Types, Complainers, Know-ItAlls, and Tanks
Alan Zimmerman, PhD has
spoken to more than one million people across the United
States and around the world, giving them the tools they need to
achieve their goals on and off the
job. As a prominent, sought-after author and speaker, Dr. Zimmerman works with a variety of

The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors
met in regular session with the following members present: Mike Dickson, Everett Grasty,
Clifford Carney and Tom Rutledge. The meeting began at 9:00 AM.
Motion Grasty seconded Carney to approve the agenda. All ayes.
Lisa Calvert reviewed the Compensation
Board’s minutes and discussion with the supervisors. Also present from the Compensation Board were Donna Albright, Lyle Laughery
and Trudi Tam. The compensation board did
not speculate on other County’s insurance
benefits and concentrated on comparative salary information. The Compensation Board’s
recommendation was 5.4% increase for all
elected officials. This was based upon 2.4%
for the CPI and 3.0% to try to catch up with
their peers’ wages from other Counties. Calvert reviewed an example of the Treasurer’s
Office when compared to surrounding Counties and Counties of like size a raise of 7.47%
to 11.51% would be needed to get to last
year’s average salary.
Motion Grasty seconded Carney to table
action on the Compensation Board’s Recommendation until 01/13/15. All ayes.
Josh Sebern asked the board about using
a building at the County Home for storage of
equipment. The board was going to verify it
was not being used. Sebern also asked the
board about having the janitors clean the secondary roads offices. The board suggested
Sebern get quotes from outside services.

What would Henry A. Wallace do on
climate change and renewable energy?
By HENRY SCOTT WALLACE
Many Iowans might be
astonished to learn that
Henry A. Wallace was a
Republican. After all, didn’t
he serve under Franklin D.
Roosevelt throughout the
entirety of his presidency,
as secretary of agriculture,
secretary of commerce and
vice president?
The reality is that he grew
up a Republican, the scion
of an Iowa farm family so
prominent that both his
father and grandfather were
offered the job of secretary of
agriculture under Republican
U.S. presidents. (His father
accepted, but his grandfather
declined.)
Henry A. was a Republican,
too, when FDR offered him
the same job, and it didn’t
occur to him to change
his party registration to
Democratic for another
four years, at the age of 48.
Frankly, it didn’t matter
much to him, or to FDR.
What mattered was simply
restoring the farm economy,
so badly battered by the
Depression and the Dust
Bowl. His legislation to help
farmers passed Congress
with broad bipartisan
support. In his sunset years,
he endorsed Republican
Dwight Eisenhower for the
presidency.
Well, I can say with
confidence that my
grandfather would
be appalled at his old
party today — at their
obstructionism on issues
affecting American farming.

The grant often is awarded
to Main Street communities,
although Guthrie Center received the grant before becoming a Main Street community.
“This is going to benefit the
entire town, and all the citizens and the local economy,
to get these buildings fixed
up,” Fenton said. “That’s the
point of the grant, to invest
in downtown and help people who want to keep their
businesses open downtown.”
Local business owners
were given the opportunity to participate in the re-

Next to soil, the most
important factor in farming
is climate, and there is
overwhelming evidence that
the rapidly accelerating pace
of global warming will have
disastrous consequences for
agriculture in Iowa. And yet,
the uniform position of Iowa
Republican candidates these
days is to flatly refuse to do
anything about it.
According to the 300
experts who conducted
the 2014 National Climate
Assessment for the National
Academy of Sciences, the
unpredictable jumble of
climate extremes — heat
waves, too little rain, too
much rain — will lead to
declines in agricultural
productivity and increased
stresses from weeds, diseases
and insect pests. Steady
increases in the average
number of days without
precipitation will lead to
drought and suppressed
crop yields, especially for
corn. Heavy downpours and
flooding don’t simply balance
out the dry spells; the sudden
runoff overwhelms manmade defences (as in the
Cedar Rapids floods, which
caused $6 billion in damages,
or more than $40,000 per
resident) and accelerates
soil erosion. Wetter springs
reduce yields and profits,
as growers switch to lateplanted, shorter-season
varieties. Increasing
heat waves are predicted
specifically for Iowa, which
particularly suppress yields if
occurring during pollination.
And as the world’s
population balloons from 7
billion to 9 billion over the
next generation, increased
instability of food supplies
will inevitably fuel global
problems of famine,
migration, political turmoil
construction project if they
kicked in 25 percent of the
cost to complete whatever
work each individual building needed.
The project’s contract
was finalized in June, and
construction work began
in July, Fenton said. One of
the surprises construction
and design workers faced is
structural concerns at several of the buildings; those
might include the discovery
that steel is more rusted than
expected once decades-old
siding is removed.
Most of those problems
have been dealt with, though,
leaving painting and other
exterior work that needs to
be done in nicer weather; of
the 17 buildings involved,
many are down to the final
details, Fenton added.
One of the buildings with
the most work left to be
done is 310 State St., home
of graphic design company
DVision. Although it currently is boarded up, the building’s glass should arrive in
the next few weeks, Imerman said.
As of now, Fenton said, the
project is on track to be completed at the end of April.
“We appreciate people
stepping forward and putting up with the construction dust,” Fenton said. “It
takes a lot of patience to go
through construction projects.”

and violent conflict.
Henry A. Wallace would
simply not sit still and let this
happen. Regardless of what
causes it, he would focus on
what we can do to fix it, for
future generations. To be
sure, as a scientist, he would
find it absurd to casually
dismiss the overwhelming
scientific consensus that
the increasing climate
extremes are caused by
humans burning carbonbased fuels for energy.
He favored biofuels over
oil, and liked to quote
the warning of President
Theodore Roosevelt (another
Republican): “To skin and
exhaust the earth will
undermine the days of our
children.”
If 99 out of 100 experts
tell you that something you
are doing is harming your
children, would you ignore
them?
That’s what today’s
Republicans are doing. U.S.
Sen. Joni Ernst says she
doesn’t “know the science”
of global warming and can’t
say what the impact is, but
is dead set against fixing
it – even to the extent of
killing the one agency that
is doing anything about
it: the Environmental
Protection Agency. Third
District Congressman David
Young insists there are
“credible studies” on “both
sides,” but thinks that global
warming might be caused by
volcanoes. Rep. Steve King
dismisses climate change
as “more of a religion than a
science,” and thinks it may
actually be a “good” thing
— because he personally
prefers to be warm rather
than cold.
And why is there any
controversy about renewable
fuels? Even if there’s a
remote possibility that
global warming is caused
by volcanoes rather than
burning carbon-based fuels,
why not focus like a laser
on carbon-free alternatives
which will increase jobs? To
the suggestion that a strong
renewable fuels standard
could create 75,000 jobs in
Iowa, Ernst simply opposes
such a standard and says “in
a perfect world it would not
exist.”
Whose side is she on?
Renewable fuels are putting
money in farmers’ pockets
and growing Iowa’s economy
— all while replacing dirty
carbon-based energy. No
state in the nation gets more
of its energy from wind (27.4
percent) than Iowa. Why not
celebrate that leadership?
Blocking renewable energy
standards and refusing to
do anything about climate
change would outrage my
grandfather, whichever
political party he belonged
to. As a politician and public
servant, ordinary people
always came first, and the
party line dead last.

WINTER CAR CARE
When it comes to winter car
care, many motorists think of
antifreeze and batteries, but
vehicles need extra attention
when temperatures drop below zero. These quick tips will
help your vehicle perform at
its best during cold weather
months.
Keep the gas tank at least
half full; this decreases the
chance of moisture forming
in the gas lines and possibly
freezing. Check the tire pressure, including the spare, as
tires can lose pressure when
temperatures drop. Consider
special tires if snow and ice are
a problem in your area. Have
the exhaust system checked for
carbon monoxide leaks, which
can be especially dangerous
during cold weather driving
when windows are closed. If
you’re not trying to defrost the
windshield or warm the interior,
modern cars are ready to be
driven right away. Idling longer
than 30 seconds in most cases
is unnecessary for the sake of
warming up the engine. The
best way to warm up your car
is to drive gently at the start.
Change to low-viscosity oil
in winter as it will flow more
easily between moving parts
when it is cold. Drivers in subzero temperatures should drop
their oil weight from 10-W30
to 5-W30 as thickened oil can
make it hard to start the car.
Consider using cold weather
washer fluid and special winter
windshield blades if you live in
a place with especially harsh
winter conditions.
Sub-zero temperatures can
have a real impact on your vehicle. Winter magnifies existing
problems such as pings, hard
starts, sluggish performance
and rough idling, and very cold
temperatures reduce battery
power. If you haven’t had your
vehicle checked recently, a thorough vehicle inspection is a
good idea so you can avoid the
aggravation and unexpected
cost of a breakdown in freezing weather.
For more helpful auto care
information, motorists can order a free copy of the recently updated 80-page Car Care
Guide for the glove box at www.
carcare.org/car-care-guide.
Blood donations are critical BRANSTAD INAUGURATION
during winter months
LifeServe Blood Center needs
regular blood donors, as well as
new first time blood donors to
roll up their sleeve this winter
to help save lives.
Typically during the winter
months, blood donations tend
to decrease simply because of
the cold and flu season and
treacherous road conditions
which can inhibit donors from
reaching their donation destination. However, the need for
blood remains constant and
can often spike in the winter
because of automobile accidents and increased surgeries.
Members of the community can help ensure lifesaving
blood is available for local hospital patients by giving blood
at an upcoming blood drive.
It takes less than one hour to
save a life. Schedule your appointment now.

Local Resident Wins Free Fuel from Cenex
Tanks of Thanks program rewards Adair resident for making
a difference in the community
A local resident has received
a special thank you for her contribution to the community. Susan Jahde of Adair, Iowa, was
selected to receive free fuel
from Tanks of Thanks®, a program that rewards people who
do good deeds to help make
their communities just a little
bit better.
The Tanks of Thanks program from CHS and Cenex®
retailers encourages people to
nominate friends, family and
neighbors for free fuel as a way
to say thank you for doing good
in the community. Each month,
CHS and Cenex give away more
than $5,000 in free fuel through
the Tanks of Thanks program.
Jahde was nominated for donating over 500 dresses to little
girls in Africa. Each dress she
makes is made from a pillow
case and decorated with donated lace. Recently, Jahde was
selected to receive a $50 Tanks
of Thanks gift card, which is redeemable at any Cenex location.

Habitat for Humanity, the international Christian housing
ministry, is laying down roots in
Guthrie County and looking to
assist volunteers with providing
improved housing opportunities
for local low-income families.
Guthrie County is being welcomed by the existing Habitat
affiliate neighboring north and
east of Guthrie County, now
formerly known as Habitat for
Humanity of Boone and Greene
Counties. With the expansion,
the combined three counties will
operate as Heart of Iowa Habitat
for Humanity.
The work of enlisting volunteers and finding families to serve
has begun, with hopes to repair
houses across Guthrie County in
2015 under the locally-developed
and nationally-recognized Helping Hands home repair program.
There will be many opportunities for volunteers to become
involved in Guthrie County, including the actual construction
work. Others may choose to assist with selecting and supporting
partner families, while others will
focus on recruiting and coordinating volunteers to do the work.
Jeff Lamoureux of Jefferson
is associate director of Heart of
Iowa Habitat for Humanity and
has primary responsibility for introducing and directing the program in Guthrie County. He will
also support volunteers in Greene
County as they continue to build
upon their many successes over
the past five years since Greene
County was formally joined with
Habitat for Humanity of Boone
County.
The affiliate executive director is Erich Kretzinger, a Boone
County resident and Jefferson
native. In addition to assisting
with expansion of services into
Guthrie County, his responsibilities will include support of

Every year, all across the state of

enormous contributions to wildlife conservation.

“We don’t have enough staff in

coordinator Stephanie Shepherd.

explains Akhtar Hussain, CHS

According to Hussain, Tanks

Tanks of Thanks is easy, and anyone can nominate or be nominated for any act of kindness
– big or small.”

“While I’d prefer to work myself out of a job and see all of
our local families living in safe,
decent and affordable housing,
reality shows the housing need
is greater than ever and our work
is far from done”, said Kretzinger.
“We’re stretching to serve even
more families by expanding into
Guthrie County and I look forward
to making many new friendships
as we work to make an immediate and lasting impact in the lives
of these families.”
“While I’m still fairly new with
Habitat, learning the many things
that come together to make it
all happen, I have a lot of enthusiasm for what we’ll be doing in Guthrie County”, stated Jeff
Lamoureux. “I’ve already learned
that what Habitat does isn’t only
critical for the families assisted,
but it also provides an important
opportunity for local Christians
to live out their faith in service
to others. We’re going to have a
great first year together.”
Both Lamoureux and Kretzinger
have been meeting with clergy
from the many Christian churches
across Guthrie County in anticipation of a strong ecumenical
partnership. While being Christian is never a requirement for
volunteers or partner families, it
is the local Christian community
that will typically band together
in service to others.
There is never a charge for volunteered labor, and Habitat partner families provide their own
sweat equity working alongside
volunteers.

training workshops that prepare
volunteers to collect data on some
of Iowa’s critical wildlife.
So what are these critical wildlife species?
One training workshop focuses
on some of Iowa’s more spectacular
bird species such as bald eagles,
osprey, peregrine falcons and colonially nesting waterbirds such
as herons and egrets. Volunteers
collect data on specific nesting
sites around the state and submit pertinent data such as how
many young birds fledge.
“This data collection requires
lots of patience and some good
optics in order to watch the nest
from a distance and not disturb
the birds,” Shepherd said. Last
year volunteers reported on 76
bald eagle nests and 11 colonial
waterbird rookeries.

BURNS
FROM Page 1A
owns the Guthrie Center
Times and Guthrie County
Vedette, and the organization’s vice president for news.
Burns spoke with Iowa Public Radio’s Ben Stanton during an interview on “River to
River” on Thursday.
The Facebook page, Danish
Villages News, was started by
Keith Menter, pastor of Elk
Horn Lutheran Church, and
Linda Goos, one of the former editors of the Elk Horn
newspaper. The page covers
Elk Horn and Kimballton.
Its news and updates are
heavily sustained by submissions from community
members — photos they took,
scores from games they attended, their opinions on
events. There hasn’t been a
city council meeting since
the page was started, but its
organizers are considering
covering those meetings as
well, Goos said.
Menter came up with the
idea for Danish Villages News
earlier this month.
“We invite everyone to post
their selfies on that, and see
if we can’t get news information shared on that like when
we had the paper,” he said.
However, Menter and Goos
acknowledged that not everyone wants news digitally. In fact, 74 nursing-home
residents in the area can’t access the page, Menter said
— so its organizers also put
together a print product to
distribute, the most timeconsuming part of the job.
Speaking from a more traditional newspaper standpoint,
Burns said he admired the
efforts of the Danish Villages
News’ creators.
“You can certainly tell the
community passion in the
pastor’s voice, and the effort
he and the former editor have
there — I’d describe it as noble, futile and unsustainable,”
Burns said.
He described the Danish
Villages News as a combination of crowdsourcing and
citizen journalism. It works
for some types of coverage,
Douglas Burns
he said, but what about the
county supervisors coverage,
the school board stories?
“Who’s going to cover the
nuts and bolts of that local
coverage? ” Burns asked.
“Who’s going be at the supervisors’ meetings? Who’ll
catch the misspellings in obituaries and spend hours cultivating sources, making sure
the legals and other items are
published properly?”
He said that some nonjournalists view reporting
and writing in the same way
that non-golfers look at the
sport on television.
“It looks easy, like anybody
can do it,” Burns said. “And
that’s just not the case. There
is skill in distilling the information, and the community
expects a dignified presentation of information.”
A news organization run
entirely on Facebook will become clogged among pictures
of cats, snapshots of cute children and bad jokes, he added.
“I just don’t think it’ll give
the community the same kind
of voice that a newspaper
does,” he said.
The newspapers owned by
Herald Publishing Co., including the Daily Times Herald
in Carroll, use Facebook and
Twitter to guide people to the
paper product or the e-edition
online, a PDF version of the
print product, he said.
The company is taking that
philosophy to other communities in which it has bought
newspapers: Jefferson and
more recently in Guthrie
Center, Panora, Greenfield
and Fontanelle.
“We believe in rural America,” Burns said. “And we believe in our business model,
which is providing robust
news in a community. We
really load up on the news
side and dedicate more resources to content production and news-gathering in a
traditional shoe-leather way
than other papers do.”
Community newspapers
are successful when they play
a role in driving a community’s economic development
and seek out good stories but
don’t shy away from keeping
its public officials accountable, Burns said.
“A strong newspaper really
does need to get involved in
the community … and be
involved in economic-development organizations, and
work whenever there’s an opportunity to attract business
and attract residents,” he said.
“And that doesn’t mean you
throw out the sheriff’s report,
or that you don’t run a story
on the front page if there’s a
rape in the community or a
murder in the neighboring
town.”
Jake Krob, editor of the
Mount Vernon-Lisbon Sun,
which covers Mount Vernon,
Lisbon and Bertram, Iowa,
also spoke on the expansion
of small newspapers — his
company owns seven weekly
papers in eastern Iowa.
“Economically, it makes
sense to have a group of
newspapers, so we can share
resources and staff to some
extent,” he said. “I believe in
small towns. I think people
move to these small towns
because they want to be engaged with their community;
they want to be involved. And
part of that involvement is
reading their weekly newspaper.”
Burns agreed, saying newspapers offer a way to learn
about communities “amid
the electronic clutter.”
“Small newspapers are still
really strong in rural Iowa,”
he said. “And for rural Iowa
to continue to have a strong
voice, people need to subscribe and support papers.”

He noted that discussions
centered around outside and
inside facilities, as well as student achievement.
During its meeting, the board
also discussed Teacher Leadership. After a grant approval,
the district will begin planning
work next year to prepare for
the program’s implementation
in 2016-17.
Board members discussed
finances and the district’s solvency ratio.
“If you look at it today, they
are very good, but we always
have to be concerned about
the future,” Smith said. “When
you are looking at declining
enrollment, which all of us face
in rural Iowa, those are issues.
We talked about, how do we
overcome those?”
The Guthrie Center school
district’s future was also discussed.
“Are we going to be a single district? Is that going to
change, and if it changes, what
might that look like?” Smith
said. “Who might our partners
TOOLS
FROM Page 1A
Last year, the Fort Dodge
center counseled 204 clients,
racking up 1,067 counseling
hours. Counseling can include
brainstorming on what business to open, how to manage
cash flow, use of social media,
how to differentiate a business
and what sources of financing
are available, said Kilian, who
spent more than 20 years working in commercial lending.
The statistics show that 80
percent of businesses fail in
the first three years, she said
— the goal of the center is to
make entrepreneurs aware of
the challenges, the hours required, the slow return before
they start a business, as well
as providing ongoing support
for small businesses.
In fiscal year 2014, the center helped open 26 new busi-
be? What should we do to encourage conversations there?”
Guthrie Center has done
some sharing with the Panorama Community School
District, but when the Panora schools switched back to a
modified block schedule, the
schools didn’t match up.
“It fit their needs, but it made
it more difficult for us to share,”
Smith said.
Panorama is on the lookout for a new superintendent, something Smith said
the board members brought
up during the meeting.
“We had that discussion, as
far as, should we be looking to
share superintendents?” he
said. “If those are conversations
people are serious about, we
should talk about it, and if not,
we shouldn’t talk in circles.”
In other news:
School principals talked
about Iowa Assessments that
will be coming up.
Smith also briefed the board
on the Attendance Center
Rankings that will be coming out.
“The new legislation and certain criteria will layer in and
update gradings,” Smith said.
The rankings are expected
to come out in pieces, looking
at student achievement and
growth, teacher retention and
attendance.
The board approved the hiring of Ashley Wendl and Liz
Davis as co-head girls golf
coaches, and it is looking for
a head softball coach.
Guthrie Center students will
be attending a leadership conference at Earlham High School
March 6. The focal points of
the conference will include:
Event planning, leadership
skill development, effective
communication, self-assessment and integrity, positivity and passion, and conflict
resolution.
“In schools, we need to do a
better job of encouraging positive leadership,” Smith said.
“We try to do that inside our
walls, but it’s always a good
thing to get outside our walls
and listen to speakers. I think
it needs to be a focus for kids.
I sometimes think we just expect kids to be leaders, but we
don’t talk about what a good
leader is and what a good leader does.”
nesses, create 96 jobs, retain
77 jobs and infuse more than
$3 million in capital in local
communities via loans or equity. Sales in the region covered
by the center also increased
nearly $6 million.
“We have a strong economic
impact,” Kilian said.
Statewide, the Small Business Development Centers
helped more than 250 new
businesses get off the ground
in 2014, creating 1,196 new jobs
and sending $52 million in
investments into Iowa communities.
Stefanie Boeckman, business counselor with the North
Central Iowa SBDC, encouraged local business owners
to get online.
Information needs to be up
to date, she stressed — 10 percent of desktop searches and
50 percent of mobile searches
have local intent.
Online reviews are also in-
creasingly important, Boeckman said. In addition to traditional social media sites like
Facebook and Twitter, Yelp
is one example of an online
platform that features reviews
of restaurants and local businesses. If a customer is happy
on their way out the door, encourage him or her to post a
review online, she said.
The Small Business Development Centers, funded
primarily by state and federal
governments, offer the only
certified entrepreneurial services in the state, Kilian said.
The Fort Dodge center has
been operating for 25 years.
It runs out of 15 offices, often
located on community college
campuses or in extension offices, she added.
Her goal this year is to provide at least one workshop in
every county the center serves.

Iowa State sent a clear message to Kansas and the rest of
the Big 12: The Cyclones aren’t
about to let the Jayhawks breeze
to an 11th straight league title.
In fact, Iowa State is ready to
make its own run at the championship.
Naz Long scored 20 points and
11th-ranked Iowa State held off
No. 9 Kansas 86-81 on Saturday
night, recording back-to-back
wins over the Jayhawks for the
first time in 14 years.
Georges Niang had 15 points
for the Cyclones (13-3, 3-1 Big
12), who shot 9 of 20 on 3s in
snapping Kansas’ five-game
winning streak.
“To win 10 straight is just an
amazing accomplishment. In order for us to compete with them
for the league championship,
we had to win this game,” Iowa
State coach Fred Hoiberg said.
The Cyclones came somewhat
close to blowing it though.
Long followed a long 3 with a
layup to give Iowa State a 71-57
lead with 6:26 left. But the Cyclones allowed Kansas to pull to
82-79 before Niang sealed the
win by drawing a crucial charge
with 14 seconds left.
Frank Mason III scored 21
points and Perry Ellis had 19
with 11 rebounds for Kansas (14-
3, 3-1), the last team in the Big
12 to lose a conference game.
This was perhaps the most
highly anticipated home game of
Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg’s
five-year tenure in Ames.
The Cyclones didn’t disappoint.
After a back-and-forth first
half, Iowa State pushed its lead
to 51-39 and seemed poised for
a blowout win. But the Jayhawks
responded with 10 points in four
minutes to keep their hopes alive.
That’s when Iowa State’s Jameel McKay took over.
McKay had three buckets in
81 seconds — including an alley-oop dunk over Landen Lucas
— and his block set up a Niang
3 that put the Cyclones back in
front 66-55.
Kansas coach Bill Self burned
so many timeouts trying to slow
down the fast-paced Cyclones
that he had had none left for
the final 6:26.
“He can really run,” Self said of
McKay. “I thought he did a good
job of protecting the rim, too.”
McKay scored 11 points with
three blocks and Monte Morris had 11 points, 10 assists and
seven rebounds for Iowa State,
which allowed the Jayhawks to
hang around until the very end
by hitting just 10 of 18 free throws
in the second half.
“It’s very satisfying. It really
is,” Long said.

Meet Antoinette
Clairmont-Barr
By JOJO WOOD
GCHS staff
Antoinette Clairmont-Barr
was born on September
11, 1996. Her parents are
Rhonda and Lonny Barr.
She has an older brother
Frank,19, a younger brother
John,17, and a younger sister Casey,15.
Antoinette’s family calls
her “Toni,” but everyone
else at school calls her by
her full first name.
In high school, Antoinette’s favorite electives were
art classes. The art teacher, Mrs. Nielsen, taught her
the most. Antoinette says
that the most valuable
thing Mrs. Nielsen taught
her was,“Nothing is perfect.” Mrs. Nielsen is also
the person Antoinette most
admires because she is so
understanding and tells Antoinette valuable things. Antoinette says,”Mostly all of
my classes have helped me.”
She participated in softball. Her favorite high school
memory was the activity bus
rides.
Antoinette’s philosophy in
life is, “Don’t waste time on
people who don’t deserve
it.” The best advice she has
for underclassmen is to not
be mouthy. Everyone goes
through the same stages of
high school, so get over it.
The thing Antoinette is going to miss most about high
school is being around her
friends and seeing everyone
every day. There is one thing
about high school that Antoinette would change, and
that is the drama and cliques
between great friends.
After graduation Antoinette plans on working for
a year and then attending
a cosmetology school. She
does not know where or
which cosmetology school
she will want to attend.

History made

Senior review
Meet GC Senior Hannah Grizzle
Hannah Grizzle
By STORMIE CASE
GCHS Sophomore
Senior Hannah Grizzle, born
on February 10, 1997, is the
daughter of Vaughn Grizzle
and Becky Benton. Hannah
also has three siblings: Malorie, 25, Broderick, 20, and
Grace, 11. Following gradu-
ation, Hannah is going to attend Iowa State to major in
psychology.
Hannah’s favorite elective
class was Mrs. Lange’s food
class. The teacher who taught
Hannah the most was Miss
Jones, now Mrs. Hunt. She
taught her the good work
ethic, maturity, and kindness
to others. Hannah is involved
in football cheerleading, Student Council, National Honor
Society, and FCCLA.
Her motto of life is a quote
from Italo Calvino, “Reading
is going towards something
that is about to be, and on
one yet knows what it will be.”
All of the math class Hannah said were the ones that
helped her prepare for the
future. Her advice to underclassmen was, “Work hard, be
kind, have school spirit, and
enjoy high school. It goes by
fast!” Hannah’s favorite high
school memory was cheering
on the Tigers at the sporting
events and being surrounded
by friends while doing so!
What she will miss the most
about high school is being
close to her little sister, Grace
and spending every day with
her. Hannah admires her sister
Malorie; she makes the best
out of life, works hard and is
kind. She has become successful from all her hard work.
The only nicknames she
has is Griz or Han. Hannah
said that she wouldn’t change
anything about high school,
because she learned from
everything she experienced
in high school and matured
from it!
It had never happened before, until this week. Iowa solidified itself as a basketball state
with 3 teams reaching the Associated Press Top 25 for the
first time ever.
Iowa State led the way after jumping 2 spots to No. 9,
switching spots with the team
they beat on Saturday. The
Kansas Jayhawks fell 2 spots
to number 11.
UNI, after going 2-0 in conference play this week, jumped
3 spots to No. 20. The ranking
is one spot short of the program’s all-time highest position
achieved by the 2010 squad.
Iowa, meanwhile, competed
the trifecta, debuting in the AP
poll at No. 25. The Hawkeyes
picked up a pair of Big Ten wins,
which included completing a
season sweep of Ohio State on
Saturday.
The state of Iowa stands as
the only state in the nation with
three currently ranked teams.
It wasn’t all that long ago
when Iowa and Iowa State
weren’t very good in men’s
hoops. And this is the first year
UNI has been ranked since its
Sweet 16 run of 2010.
So enjoy.
