The young man was riding his bike to Kum& Go and was struck by a dark-colored Chevy HHR. The driver sped off, leaving him with a broken hand and a concussion. On Friday May 20th an arrest was made by the Muscatine Police Department but no name was released at press time. His bike was broken, and he got home in the rain. His mother, Angela Stevens, said, “I told him when he left that he was probably going to get wet. When he came home he was soaked and I started to laugh. He said, ‘It’s not funny, Mom. I got hit by a car.’” They rushed to the emergency room. Alex relies greatly on his bike. “Being autistic, he’s never going to drive, so his bike is how he gets around,” said Stevens. Alex’s bike was pink and from a thrift shop. His neighbor had agreed to help him paint it in upcoming weeks because Alex was worried he would be teased about the color. While it wasn’t a perfect bike, it was his, and it was devastating when it was rendered un-ridable. The family set up a gofundme.com account to raise money to purchase a new bike and to help pay for medical bills. Hearing this story, Kevin and Margaret Whitgrove, owners of Diamonds on the Avenue in the Quad Cities, decided to get involved. “Margaret and I grew up in large families, and we didn’t have much,” said Kevin Whitgrove. “My bike was a hand-me-down, and while it wasn’t much, it was still mine. When we heard about this, it hit us in the gut. We knew we had to get involved.” The Whitgroves, along with Anthony “Tony Tone” Loconsole, worked with Alex’s mother to surprise him at Harper’s Cycling and Fitness in Muscatine. “I told Alex we had to go to Fruitland to pick up some pots I was going to buy. I told him along the way we could go look at bikes,” Stevens said. When Alex walked in, he real- ized that this was a special trip for him. Slightly embarrassed but smiling, he began the fitting process with Greg Harper. Harper tried out a few bikes until they found the perfect fit: a black and silver Trek bicycle with trigger shifters and hand brakes, along with a new black bicycle helmet. Alex said, “I’m excited. Thank you.” Stevens added, “The generosity of the community has been amazing. His bike was from a thrift shop, and now he has a bike that he has always wanted.” For more information and updates as they are made available visit VoiceOfMuscatine. com.

Caitlyn Ryan, Marketing Director at Sunnybrook Assisted Living, wanted to do something to recognize the men and women of the Sheriff, Police, and Fire Departments. May is also national barbecue month, so on Wednesday, May 18 the staff of Sunnybrook welcomed all officers, deputies, and firefighters to enjoy a meal off the grill. Ryan said, “Our residents have all benefited from the work that these people do, so we wanted a chance to say thank you.” 95.1 FM “No matter where you go, you’ll always be a bobcat” Washington Elementary School 1973-2016 Last Students of Washington Elementary School 2016 Angelina Abonz Jovony Abonza Noel Abonza Dominic Adams Sydney Adams Jolet Aguirre Escobar Ey’Naya Apantenco Ey’Nelia Apantenco Ey’Nessa Apantenco Penelope Arciniega Shawn Ashbaugh Maxwell Awani Kodi Axtell Brayden Baars Silas Baars Mackenzie Baraks Dillon Barclay Isaac Barclay Dominic Barker Joseph Bear-Duran Noah Beason Stella Bender Mackenzie Black Michael Bonnichsen Arin Brand Korbin Brewer Jagger Brink Mitchell Brockert Haley Brokaw Gavin Brookhart Lincoln Brookhart Vaughn Brookhart Andres Brooks Anita Brooks Howard Brooks Chelsea Brown Jonathan Bucio Kendra Bueno Cesar Buenrostro Eva Buenrostro Vanessa Burk Jaley Burke Landon Burnell Caydn Caliger Alina Cardona Juliette Carmona Gabriela Carmona-Linares Mia Casillas Joseph Casteel Kayla Casteel Giovanni Castro Christopher Chavez Allison Cole Ellie Collins Miguel Corona Emily Cron Brianna Cross Troy Cross Erick Cruz Dillan Davis Ami Denyo Hailee Diaz Amerie Dirzo Brandon Dirzo Jaiden Dirzo Kiya Dixon Anthony Dominguez Catherine Duo Addison Eagle Isabelle Eagle Haylie Echevarria Chloe Edaburn Andrew Edwards Nevaeh Einfeldt Ethan Elder Teegen Elliott Kaidee Estrada Lilian Estrada Dylan Feagins Isrrael Flores Liliana Flores Mia Flores Zachary Flores Fernando Frausto Jimena Frausto Antonio Frye Evin Fuller Olivia Fullerton Anthony Garcia Orlando Garcia Hailey Garrison Whitney Gaucin Caleb Gault Kingsto Giovanazzi Colin Glynn Fiona Glynn Sunny Golden Jesus Gonzales Sopheara Gonzales Isabella Gonzalez Joziah Gonzalez Michael Goodson Kaiden Gordy Olivia Haller Phoenix Hammond Levi Harmon Logen Harmon Brendan Holladay Degan Holliday Melissa Holt Raenie Holt Jazmin Hooker Sebastian Hooker Emily Hopkins Katelyn Hopkins Madison Hopkins Owen Howell Michael Hurlbut Novalee Jara Ricardo Jara Jr Bryce Jennings Cayden Jennings Abigail Jones Arabella Jones Gabriel Jones Jonathan Joseph Logan Joseph Aleah Kemp Alexis Kemp Collin Kilburn Julie Kilburn Austin Knerr Damon Knight Grace Kreitner Lillyana Krueger Ulises Lagunas Landon LaPlant Brenda Leaver-Harland Isabella LeMaster Leslie Lemus Charles (Chale) Lewis Elsie Lewis Madyson Leza Pablo Liendo Camila Lobos Felipe Lobos Tyler Lowry William Maher Mercedes Mariani Emmanuel Marquez Horacio Marquez Thaddeus Marquez Alondra Martinez Darlyn Martinez Emilia Martinez Izabella Martinez Noel Martinez Daine Martz Devin Martz Armando Mata Jordan Mata Laizha Mata Rylee Matthews Aurora McBride Gracyn McClanahan Gaige McDowell Damien McKillip Zoey McKillip Jennifer Medley Camila Medrano Graciela Medrano Malena Medrano Samara Medrano Alesi Mendez Aidan Mendoza Angel Mendoza Caidee Messer Colton Messer Zuri Middagh Logan Miller Rogelio Molina Alyssa Moncivais Jazmine Moncivais Alissalyn Monroe Landon Montagna Jasmin Montes Jarely Montoya Billy Moore Edward Moore Brianna Muse Brooklynn Muse Haleigh Muse Adelynn Nagel Cielo Nunez Lucia Nunez Frye Angelica Orona Nathan Osborn Kahina Ourkhou Andrew Peirce Brooklyn Peniston D’Anna Peniston Jaydon Peniston Nadine Pesina Jacob Pewee Aubrianna Plank Carson Platt Elexi Rada Alexa Ramirez Dalia Ramirez Iliaz Ramirez Matthew Ramirez Tessa Ramirez Emma Ramos Zane Reed Amyrra Reid Rickey Reid-Owens Keelin Reinier Devyn Riley Noel Rincon-Willits Avak Robinson Lauren Robison Isabel Rodriguez Keily Roman Gabrielle Ross Lennon Ruffner Presley Ruffner Sarah Russell Angel Sanchez Tyler Sedam Liberty Smiley Caitlyn Snyder Matthew Sotelo Ashlynn Speck Austin Staley Brenden Steele Emma Steele Jeremiah Szymanski Alexis Taylor Ava Taylor Kamryn Taylor Reese Terlisner Broden Toborg Brayden Tordai Lexi Tordai Cameron Trevino Roberto Trevino Liam Truitt Tristan Valenzuela Yazmine Varela Ashley Vaye Zaye Vaye Alexia Verdinez Aubri Villalpando Halli Villalpando Kristin Wadden Katie Wagner Makaela Walker Delaney Wieskamp Jonas Wieskamp Rowan Wieskamp Alexis Wilder Landen Wilder Lillian Williams Rylee Williams Madyson Wyatt Jack Zaehringer Collin Zellmer Emma Zellmer Jaimie Caffery Kerri Conard Melissa Coss Denise Dirth Beth Elshoff Sandi Eversmeyer Marcy Gear Michelle Haller Leigh Anne Harris Jennifer Hexom Konnie Hurlbut Alexis Husko Katelyn Jacob Jackie Kilburn Trisha Latimer Faye Lindsey Belen Marquez Diane Mayer Day Alicia McCall Amanda McKillip Sarah Meyers Cheryl Middagh Megan Moellenbeck Brendan Nagel Deb Ortiz Maureen Paetz Sherry Porter Melissa Ramsey Amanda Raya Deb Reinier Amanda Roelfs Hayli Scheffler Pam Schellekens Nicole Scherrer Emily Schroeder Kalli Shelangoski Shelly Kopf-Sides Kathleen Siler Paige Sours Lorana Spitznogle Alyce Spoto Deborah Sulzberger Heidi Summitt Anita Valenzuela Brian Walthart Amanda Whaley Sarah Williams Christine Young Staff 2016 Once a Bobcat, Always a Bobcat! By Mary Mason As the school year drew to a close for the Muscatine Community School District, the end meant something a little different to the students, staff, and families of one elementary school. Washington School held an open house on May 19 to celebrate the impact that the school has had on the community in the past 43 years. Due to a declining enrollment trend over the past several years that is projected to continue for several more, Washington will close its doors at the end of the 20152016 school year. Principal Brian Walthart has been at Washington for six years. He explained how the ending of each year is bittersweet in its own way. Walthart says the open house was planned as a way to celebrate Washington and to help students and families focus on the fun and relationships that have come from being together in the building. Throughout the event, current and past students could be seen talking with faculty and staff from years past. The halls were lined with murals and posters proclaiming “Bobcat Pride,” “Bobcat Braniacs,” and “Once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat.” The open house event was organized by the Parent-Teacher Organization of Washington. According to Walthart, the PTO awards a scholarship every year to a Washington alum, and the PTO plans to continue the tradition even after the school shuts its doors. The hope is to continue to provide the scholarships though at least the current fifth-grade class’s graduation, and hopefully through all of the grades, down to current kindergarteners. Meals were served at the open house by Hy-Vee, with a portion of the proceeds going to the scholarship fund. Walthart says one of the traits of Washington that he will miss most is the feeling of family that has developed over the years. “I am amazed at the level of closeness that Photo by James Weston Marnee Acker Pollianna Adams Krista Aird Paul Ales Susan Allison Beckie Anderson Sarah Axtell Sonia Baars Kim Barnum Sara Bautista Kathrine Becker Casey Brennan there is amongst the families, and between the families and the staff. I am really going to miss that.” One testament to that closeness can be seen through the efforts of the PTO. While the bounce houses were open to the entire community in the evening, the students had a sneak peek. The large inflat- ables were on school grounds during the school day, allowing the children time to play and have fun. Walthart says it is all part of the PTO’s plan to emphasize good memories of the school. All current Washington faculty and staff, along with current students, wore matching shirts for the open house. The front of the shirts declared, “Once a bobcat, always a bobcat,” while the back showed a large pawprint. The shirts for the current Washington family were purchased by the PTO as part of the send-off. Though the decision to close the school was not a welcome one, Walthart says he knows how hard it was for the school board to make. He says that upon hearing the news, the general feeling among the teachers was to keep a positive attitude and keep an eye on the big picture. A time capsule was buried in 1998 to commemorate the 25 year anniversary of the school. Items from the capsule were on display at the open house. Included in the items from the capsule were crafts, pictures, and even a t-shirt. Other items suffered water damage while in the capsule. Students from Washington will attend Jefferson, McKinley, and Franklin elementary schools in the 2016-2017 school year. Visiting days have been held to help facilitate the process for the students.

Page A2 Local News Muscatine Y expansion phase 1 begins By Bret Olson Our Muscatine Community YMCA is making progress on its expansion plans! The only hiccup is that we still have a lot of money to raise. Beginning in August, you can expect to see a lot of changes at our Y. That’s because we’ve raised enough funds for Phase I of construction, and we’ve been planning for months (and in some ways even years) for this expansion. Phase I will include a new Kids’ Adventure Center, new Welcome Center, redesigned Teen Center, as well as new office space and meeting rooms at ground level. We’ll also be adding a second floor! All ex- ercise equipment and weights, cardio area, a new exercise classroom, and more will be located on a new upper level. We’re excited about all these new spaces, but it doesn’t end there. We’re at approximately 71% of our goal, and we still need to raise additional funds so we can execute Phase II and III of construction, which includes a new indoor flattened track suspended from the ceiling, new Youth Gymnasium, Family Locker Rooms, redesigned Indoor Cycling Room, and more! Many local businesses and supporters have been very generous and helped us raise 5.1 million dollars so far. To those supporters, we are very grateful. Now, we need our members and the community to step in and help us raise the rest of the money. Every amount helps and moves us one step closer to our goal. A lot of people think that their $10 or $20 dollar donation isn’t enough, and that’s simply not true. Don’t get me wrong; the $100 and $1,000 dollar donations are great, too, but even the coins under your car seat will help! We’ve made it very simple to make a donation. You can make a one-time gift, or you can set up a recurring payment on a credit card or out of a YMCA Summer Kids Club Wednesday, May 25, 2016 bank account. If you make a one time $10 donation, it will help. If you make a $10 donation every month for 12 months, that’s $120. Or if you commit to two years, that’s $240, and that makes an even bigger impact. Multiply that by 10 people and you can see how quickly it adds up when we all work together! We’re excited for our expansion because we know we can reach more people and make our community even better with these new spaces! We need everyone’s help. Will you please make a donation and help us grow? WE’RE EXPANDING AND WE NEED YOU! Visit our website at www.muscatiney.org Click the ‘DONATE’ or ‘Make a PLEDGE’ button. Please give today.

Muscatine Community YMCA YMCA Swim Lessons P ) 563 263 9996 YMCA 4th of July Picnic Gilda’s Club launches new program Beginning May 26, 2016, Gilda’s Club is offering four Intervention Groups of From Cancer to Health™, a program to help people recently diagnosed with cancer, including those undergoing treatment, to manage the stress of diagnosis and treatment. Funding for this program is made possible through a Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine grant. Led by Program Manager Kelly Hendershot, From Cancer to Health™ empowers people with cancer through six weekly group meetings designed to teach effective strategies and techniques to better cope throughout the cancer journey. Participants may choose one of four 6-week long Intervention Groups to attend: Intervention Group 1: Thursdays, May 26 – June 30, 2016, from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. at Muscatine Community YMCA, 1823 Logan Street, Muscatine, IA. Intervention Group 2: Thursdays, August 4 – September 8, 2016, from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. at Muscatine Community YMCA, 1823 Logan Street, Muscatine, IA. Intervention Group 3: Thursdays, October 6 – November 10, 2016, from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 401 Iowa Avenue, Muscatine, IA. Intervention Group 4: Thursdays, January 12 – February 16, 2017 from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. at Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, 1514 Isett Avenue, Muscatine, IA. “More than 1.5 million people will be diagnosed with cancer this year,” said Barbara L. Andersen, professor of psychology at The Ohio State University and lead developer of From Cancer to Health™. “People diagnosed with cancer feel a great deal of stress, and over time the stress can disrupt the healing process and a patient’s wellbeing.” Research shows that patients participating in a trial of From Cancer to Health™ demonstrated less stress. Participants developed stronger immune systems, experienced greater social support, kept healthier diets, and had fewer physical side effects from treatment. From Cancer to Health™ was designed by an expert panel of health psychologists at The Ohio State University through grants from the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute. Each week, patients will learn: • Strategies to help manage stress • Ways to lessen the impact of physical symptoms of cancer • Skills to cope with com- Fun in the sun and sand!

He was three years older and had zero interest in Barbies, having a tea party, or playing dress-up. On the other hand, I didn’t enjoy Hotwheels, basketball, or GI Joes. So we were left with compromising. Occasionally, GI Joe and Barbie would have a play date on the basketball court (which was an old barn’s leftover concrete foundation in the backyard), but most often we could be found playing catch or using his BB gun. Oh, the fun of the good old days! What’s considered “fun” might have changed over the years, but summer still gives brothers and sisters, plus neighbors and friends, an opportunity to explore. We’re lucky to have so many things to see and do right here in our neck of the woods. So why not plan your “stay-cation” today? The Muscatine County Conservation Board hosts a series of free camping weekends complete with Saturday evening programs at Saulsbury Lodge. Find their schedule on Facebook or call them at 264-5922.

However, beginning with the 20162017 school year, Happy Time will have a new home. The preschool will be partnering with Live, Laugh, Love Childcare Center, located at 1112 Fillmore in Muscatine. The childcare center will be a way for parents who are not able to provide transportation to and from school to place their children in a center onsite. Happy Time’s Natalie Lospiech says the preschool will still offer both three-year-old and four-year-old classes. The classes will be larger in size than the present classes. Currently, two four-year-old classes are held at a time, in two separate classrooms. The new facility will allow the classes to be combined. Due to this change, there will be an additional associate teacher in each class. Each class will have a main teacher and two associates. The preschool staff anticipates being completely out of the current location at Grace Lutheran church by the end of May. www.kriegers.com 1-800-358-4406 The quietly different dealer.

Student Life Page A6 A song of determination By Mary Mason At the Central Middle School orchestra concert on May 17, families of orchestra students were treated to a special show. Listed in the program between composers Larry Clark and Richard Meyer was the name Zane Brockert. Zane is a sixth-grade student at CMS who plays the viola in the orchestra and percussion in the band. He composed the price to accompany a story that he is writing. Zane says he began working on the story in November, outside of school. When completed, the book will be a fantasy about three individuals defying a cruel leader in a dystopian society. Orchestra teacher Jessica Blanchard says she was not aware that Zane was working on the music until he brought the pages into class. Zane wrote the entire piece, including music for four sections: the violin, the viola, the cello, and the bass. Blanchard says this can be a challenge because each instrument has a different range of notes. Zane first wrote the music for his viola and a piano, recording one section to play back so he could listen to the sections together. He explains that he bought a program to assist in the process. and excited to give it a try. Blanchard says that overall, there were minimal changes that needed to be made to correct small timing errors and basic troubleshooting.

Come to the store TODAY and enter to WIN! YPN keeps growing By Joel Kraushaar The Muscatine Young Professional Network celebrated their tenth anniversary earlier this year. The group’s mission is to create a place for young people to network and find other professionals in Muscatine who may be in a similar place in their life. The organization has several committees, including Community and Professional Development (CPD), Social, Membership, and Public Relations. Each committee serves a vital function. CPD is in charge of programming a lunch-and-learn series on topics ranging from real estate transactions to resumé development. The membership committee oversees recruitment and member relations, while PR is the communications voice of the organization. The social committee is in charge of one of the more popular YPN events, Third Thursday. The Third Thursday events are designed to be a fun, social get-together where the organization programs announcements so that the members know what is going on in the organization and in town, but there is also a fun mixer activity to encourage camaraderie and social networking. This past week, the May Third Thursday took place at the Missippi Brew for their annual bean bags tournament in The Brew’s beer garden. Seth Munier of Bridgestone Bandag and Ruhl and Ruhl Realty, who serves as the chairperson of the social committee, said, “These events are important because it is a fun, relaxed way for YPN members to hang out and have some fun.” YPN identified that these structured, activity-based events are great, but at 7:30 the event ends. YPN has now decided to begin a program called Third Thursday: After Dark. This program is an organized way for folks to continue networking throughout the evening in a more relaxed and less structured setting. “It will be a way for us to get together and play cards or do something else without the structure of the Third Thursday meeting. Everyone will already be together, so it’s a way to get some more participation,” Munier said. In June, YPN will host an intern mixer for all the summer interns who will be working at various industries in Muscatine. Spot Prizes iPad Air 2 (value $399) 16GB, WiFi, space gray.

Republican Primary June 7, 2016 ! e t o V Paid for by Committee to Elect Gary Carlson Now, if you remember, we left off with your bluegill baited and in the water. I usually have about five feet of line on the ditty pole, just in case I get into a step-bank situation where I need more line to get to the water. I normally like my bait to be just barely under the surface, depending on whether the river is rising or falling. I know some guys like to submerge their live bait with a weight. I’m not saying that is wrong, but I feel the bait will get complacent and not swim around, causing a commotion and calling attention to itself. So I take the excess line and wrap it around the top of the ditty pole until I get the bait hanging right where I want it. Now let’s talk about the rules, according to Iowa DNR, about ditty poles. A licensed angler is only allowed five poles with no more than two hooks per line. A tag, visible somewhere or legibly written on the pole itself, must contain your name, address, and phone number. Ditty poles cannot be in the same location for more than a 24-hour period. Here’s the important one that gets anglers into trouble. It is legal to use any legal fish, caught by legal means, as bait. Yes, you could use a 16-inch bass for bait. Why you would is a different story. Here is the kicker: the bait needs to be caught out of the same body of water your ditty pole is in. You cannot take a bucket full of bluegill from Discovery Park and transport them to use as bait on the Cedar River or any other body of water. Back to fishing. Like I said, I like to go around dusk. I start downriver, looking for spots to place my poles: bends, log jams, mouth of creeks, just about any place I figure a big old catfish will swim into looking for a meal. Once I get the last pole baited and in place, I kill the motor and let the current drift me back downstream until I get to my first pole. Depending on the time of year and how far apart I spread my poles from one another, it should be getting dark by this time. I take a flashlight and shine it on the pole to check for any movement. Believe me, you will know if there is something on it. It takes a pretty good-sized fish to make a ¾-inch PVC pole dance. Here is the fun part. While the pole is banging away in the dark, I pull up beside it and gently lower my net under the fish before I grab the line. I have lost many a big catfish by getting too anxious. Lo and behold, you’ve got a monster. I’ve caught lots of monster catfish this way. Have fun and enjoy!
