ASHLEY SCHABLE | GUTHRIE CENTER TIMES WEather Pool, camping open for holiday weekend By ASHLEY SCHABLE Guthrie Center Times staff The Guthrie County Conservation Board announced Tuesday that Lenon Mill Park in Panora is back open for camping. The upper camping pads at Nations Bridge Park near Stuart are also re-opened. Guthrie County Conservation director Joe Hanner said campers should enjoy camping at both sites this holiday weekend. “The bottom campground at Nations Bridge Park will remain closed however for multiple repairs to the campground due CRASH Bayard man dies in car crash to the flooding,” Hanner said. Hanner said due to major flooding on the Raccoon River, the campsites were temporarily shut down last week. Crews worked to clean up and fix the damage left by the flooding. Severe thunderstorms barreled through the region last Wednesday night, dropping golf ball sized hail, threatening with several tornadic funnel clouds and knocking down tree limbs with winds in excess of 70 miles per hour. MidAmerican Energy reported 223 households in Guthrie County were without power during the storm. Most customers had service returned to them by the time the storms exited the area. Guthrie County and Adair Emergency Management Coordinator Bob Kempf said the damage was minimal. At the recommendation of Kempf, the Guthrie County Board of Supervisors declared relay for life a countywide state of emergency, due to flooding caused by the storms. Kempf says this could open up the door for some residents to possibly receive assistance from the state’s Individual Assistance Program.

The change will dissolve Guthrie Center’s police department and make the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office the city’s main law enforcement entity. The agreement will create a four-year contract, called a 28E agreement, between the city and county. The sheriff’s office will hire two additional deputies as a result of the agreement, through which Guthrie Center will pay the county $197,045.36 a year to pay for the deputies’ salaries, benefits, vehicles and equipment. Three county supervisors — Tom Rutledge, Everett Grasty and Clifford Carney — voted for the agreement, while Supervisors Jerry Caraher and Mike Dickson voted against the change. The Guthrie Center City Council has also voted to approve the contract. “Apparently it’s positive, or else you wouldn’t be here supporting it,” Grasty told Guthrie County Sheriff Marty Arganbright during Thursday’s meeting. “If this works, then it’s a really good deal for the county.” Arganbright, who worked with Guthrie Center to calculate the cost of taking on the city’s law PLOICE, Page 7 Guthrie Center High School graduate Ryan Wedemeyer and wife Jennifer carry the Relay for Life banner to lead the Survivors lap around 6 p.m. Saturday night at the Guthrie County Relay for Life fundraiser.

More than $60,000 raised so far in 2015 campaign fighting cancer By ASHLEY SCHABLE | Guthrie Center Times staff he rain let up and the sun shone just in time for Guthrie County Relay for Life to march to more than $60,000 in fundraising for the American Cancer Society. The community joined together to celebrate cancer survivors, remember those lost, and fight a disease that has taken so much from so many. The event culminated with an 11-hour walk around the Guthrie Center High School track on Saturday, June, 27. “What an incredible day we had,” said Kim Durst, community manager, Relay for Life, Midwest Division. Durst reported Guthrie County has raised $60,000 so far this season, and do- nations received through Aug. 31 will count toward the campaign. The final total will be announced this fall. Durst said two teams Team Wichita and Breastfriends - each raised $10,000 this year. “Their tireless passion and hard work in the fight against cancer is incredible,” Durst said. The one-day event added a new tradition this year with a special survivor dinner and entertainment inside the Guthrie Center school.

Douglas Burns, co-owner of the Guthrie County newspapers, lobbied three members of Iowa’s congressional delegation and their staffs for a National Wildlife Refuge designation for Dunbar Slough during three days of economic-development sessions last week in Washington, D.C. focused on west-central Iowa. Burns, a member of the Carroll Area Development Corporation, Greene County Development Corporation, Midwest Partnership (Adair, Audubon, Greene and Guthrie counties) and the Orient-based Wallace Centers of Iowa, spoke directly with U.S. Sens. Joni Ernst and Charles Grassley and Congressman Steve King, all Iowa Republicans, about the hunting, conservation and economicdevelopment benefits a key federal designation for Dunbar could provide for the region. Burns joined King and a small group of western Iowans for a dinner in Northern Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., where a number of other business and farm issues were discussed. “The Dunbar designation would be a regional lift, creating a waterfowl hunting mecca in between Carroll and Jefferson and Lake Panorama, all pros- July 3rd - July 9th The Stuart Fremont Theatre pering commercial centers,” Burns s a i d . “O u r part of the state is well positioned for an attraction like the Neal Douglas Smith Nation- Burns al Wildlife Refuge in central Iowa. A National Wildlife Refuge would fit beautifully with other outdoor attractions as well as the Wild Rose casino opening in Jefferson and Carroll’s continuing draw for events and visitors.” Burns noted that a Dunbar Slough refuge would be a perfect place for Ernst, King and Grassley to interact informally with high-profile political visitors who enjoy hunting. “It’s really not that far from Boone, Senator Ernst, where your Roast & Ride is taking place every year,” Burns said. “Imagine the opportunities for bringing Republican presidential candidates to Dunbar for waterfowl hunting.” The National Wildlife Refuge designation could apply to both Dunbar Slough and much of the surrounding Southern Prairie Pothole Region — a 23,500acre area. The area stretches roughly from south of Ralston to Bayard. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service would designate boundaries for additional land that could be added to the refuge.

The office conducts the wave as part of the state’s Special Traffic Enforcement Program. This most recent period ran from May 18 to May 31, according to information from the sheriff’s office. Officers made two operating while intoxicated arrests during the period, one felony arrest and three narcotics arrests, in addition to serving three arrest warrants. There were 12 speed citations and 153 warning issued during the STEP wave. Other citations and warnings were given for seat belt, stop sign, driver’s license, registration, dark window, insurance and other violations. During the period, the office assisted 19 motorists and investigated two accidents. The STEP program sends extra officers on patrol during holiday weekends to gather offense numbers for the state’s records. The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office has participated in the program for years, Sheriff Marty Arganbright said. Speed citations were up during this period; during the last, over the St. Patrick’s Day weekend, five speed citations were written. For the most part, warnings are issued during these periods, rather than citations, officers have said. “Hopefully, when you get warned, you realize, ‘I need to slow down,’” Arganbright said in a past interview.

She passed away Monday, June 29, 2015 at The New Homestead, Guthrie Center, Iowa. She graduated from Guthrie Center High School in 1944. On March 18, 1945, she married LaVerne Johnson at the Christian Church in Guthrie Center, Iowa. They made their home on various farms until the 1950’s when they moved to a farm Northeast of Panora. In 1981, they moved into Panora.

At one wedding, Supreme Court decision a happy surprise rebecca mckinsey THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED The date they planned for their wedding was very strategic. My uncle Paul and his partner, Dave, got married in Chicago this weekend, on the sixyear anniversary of the day they started dating. Their wedding fell on the day before Chicago’s annual Pride parade — a fun coincidence, but not something they had planned, they said. It also fell on the day after the U.S. Supreme Court voted to declare same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states. Definitely not something they could have planned, but boy, did it color the ceremony. Same-sex marriage has been legal in Illinois for more than a year; as soon as that decision was final, my uncles joke that they didn’t waste any time — Paul immediately proposed to Dave. That was celebration enough for them, but finding out that the Supreme Court had reached its decision a day before their wedding — and their six-year anniversary — brought a new dimension to their day. This wedding was pretty typical in many ways. Goodlooking, happy spouses. Guests in “fabulous” attire, per the wedding invitation instructions. Dancing. Lots and lots of champagne. And it had its share of special moments. A venue that was booked at the last minute (after all, this is two guys we’re talking about). An officiant — the friend who had introduced the couple — who shed his share of tears during the ceremony; just about everyone, the grooms included, followed suit (one attendee joked later, “You guys really know how to ruin a room.”). The vows were sweet, read off cards the grooms pulled from their pockets. Dave’s vow finished with the promise, “I choose you.” When Paul’s vow included the same line halfway through, he laughed through his tears and swore he hadn’t stolen the line, pointing to his card and saying, “I promise, I wrote that down.” Throughout the night and the following day, the Supreme Court’s decision was on everyone’s minds. Like the officiant: “I now pronounce you married — here, there and everywhere.” And the chef, as he prepared a brunch for the guests the next morning: “They had perfect timing with the Supreme Court. Who could have planned that?” These are my uncles — I love them, and they love each other. They weren’t trying to make a point or contribute to a national debate during their wedding Saturday night. They were celebrating their marriage with a small group of friends and family. It just so happened that all over the country, people were celebrating alongside them.

The Nashville-based performing and recording artist has roots here and the group loves the Iowa fans. Zach’s grandfather was Fire Chief in Casey years ago. Zach says, “These people put their lives on the line to protect their communities. We all need to support these folks.” Lasy year, the band made the trip to Iowa following a show with Ricky Skaggs and Peter Frampton, and was overjoyed at the hometown crowd. This year, the band arrives after a 7-week multi-state tour. The goal for this year’s show is to draw folks from the greater area — Adair, Menlo, Stuart, Greenfield, Guthrie Center and beyond — the same area these folks serve in times of emergency. Zach Stone’s producers are donating the show, so every dollar generated from the event goes to the Casey Fire Department. This is a chance to see an arena-level performance in your own back yard! If you want a sneak peak, check out the videos on “YouTube: Zach Stone Country”. You can also link to zachstonecountry. com for a taste of some original recordings. Zach Stone invites everyone to attend Casey Fun Days on Saturday, July 11. The Beer Garden opens at 7pm and the band kicks off at 9pm. Area newspapers will publish more information about Casey Fun Days, but that Saturday night you and your friends will want to be at the Casey Fire Hall for some “HighOctane Country.” SATURDAY, JULY 11, 9 P.M.

Wind, sun, glare and heat can enhance the effects of alcohol, hindering the operator’s ability to make decisions. Before leaving the house, check trailer lights, wheel bearings and hitch. Make sure there is a charged fire extinguisher and horn/ whistle, a wearable life jacket for everyone and a U.S. Coast Guard-approved throwable device onboard. File a float plan with a friend: include your destination, time of return and type of boat. Wear your lifejacket—it floats, you don’t. Inflatable lifejackets are light weight, comfortable and USCG approved. Wear it. Take a boater education course. It has valuable information and many insurance companies offer a discount on boat insurance. Iowa’s top two safety violations are having inadequate life jackets and operating too fast and too close to other vessels. MAIN STREETUPDATE LOCALFOCUS Compiled by the Guthrie Center Times staff The Main Street Approach Changing attitudes is what the Main Street program is all about. It is an incremental process which, over time, makes a large difference to the communities it serves. In Guthrie Center, the façade renovations are done but there is no finish line. The 50115 Fest is over but there is no finish line. The downtown beautification efforts are wonderful but there is no finish line. There are many projects completed and many still in progress but there is no finish line. We need to keep the momentum going and volunteer development is critical. If everyone did just one thing for Main Street Guthrie Center just think of what could be accomplished! Even if you have limited time, but want to help, contact us and we will find the perfect fit for you. If you are a member of a community group that would like to learn more about the Main Street program and the results we are seeing in Guthrie Center, we would love to come and share with you. Preserve Iowa Summit Becky Carico and Julie Bailey from Main Street Guthrie Center attended the Preserve Iowa Summit last week in Winterset. What a great two days learning more about historic preservation and creative placemaking! The keynote speaker was Ed McMahon, a nationally known speaker and authority on economic development and land use. His talk, “The Secrets of Successful Communities”, was excellent and very thoughtprovoking. Other sessions included: The Architectural Language of Historic Commercial Buildings, Historic Tax Credits, the Historical Research Development Program grants, Approaches to Masonry Restoration, Preserving Local Records and many more. guthrie county extension notes “Water in the Garden” Webinar The second “Growing Season Webinar” being offered this summer will be “Water in the Garden” on Wednesday, July 8th, from 6-8 pm at the Guthrie County Extension office. Learn various water saving techniques to apply to the garden and how to incorporate creative water features. If you are interested in this webinar, please call 641-747-2276. Keeping Roses Healthy If you have round holes in the foliage of your roses, most likely leafcutting bees are responsible. Leafcutting bees are beneficial as they are pollinators. Damage to roses and other plants is usually minor and control efforts are rarely justified or necessary. If small green “worms” are eating the foliage on your roses, pick the roseslugs off by hand and destroy. If you have a large infestation, it can be controlled with in- secticides, such as insecticidal soap. Blackspot is a common fungal disease of roses. Blackspot develops by warm, wet weather. Careful rose selection, cultural practices and fungicide treatments can be used to control blackspot on roses. Reduce the amount of overwintering fungi by carefully cleaning up leaf debris in the fall. Eggs and Poultry: Safe to Eat Avian influenza has been in the news a lot lately. It does not impact the foods we eat and cannot be contracted from properly cooked and prepared meats. Be sure you wash hands after handling raw eggs and poultry, clean and sanitize cutting boards, cook poultry to at least 165 degrees, cook eggs until the yolks and whites are firm, and use pasteurized eggs or egg products when making recipes that call for undercooked eggs, such as Caesar salad dressing and homemade ice cream.

More than 30 survivors walked the lap while team members cheered them on around the track. RELAY FROM Page 1 Afterwards, the 41-year-old, father of three, shared his story. “I think I’ve been over-sold as a speaker, but we’ll give it a shot,” Wedemeyer began. Wedemeyer, who lives in Johnston with wife Jennifer, sons Andrew and Luke and daughter Alena, was diagnosed with colon cancer two and a half years ago. He said his diagnoses came with choices. “You have to make choices and I’m really proud of the choices some of my team members have made,” he said. “Each of you here tonight is part of my team. You’ve chosen to be here to raise money for the Relay and that money does a lot of things. I can attest to that. “It’s amazing what people are doing right now in cancer research - it’s because of funding and stuff like this and your generosity. I want to thank you for it.” Wedemeyer touched on choosing faith or fear, but not both. “If you chose fear it’s a tough journey and if you chose faith you can get through it,” he said. Don’t waste your cancer, he said. “You waste your cancer if you’re focusing more on statistics, focusing on numbers,” Wedemeyer said. “I’m a banker, I’m a numbers guy, but if you focus on numbers and not on God than you are missing the point. It doesn’t matter what the numbers say, the only thing that matters in the fight is that you want to be educated and you want to do what you can.” Know what’s on your bucket list, he said. “If you aren’t doing what would be on your bucket list for life than you might want to do something different,” Wedemeyer said. A bucket list can include ballgames, track meets, and dance recitals. “They’re sitting around having coffee on the deck with your wife, playing a round of golf with buddies - that’s a bucket list,” he said. “I’ve never wanted to do anything else. I love going to work, I enjoy the people I work with and that’s what I want to Kiersten Knobbe checks the luminaries lining the Guthrie Center high school track in preparation for special luminary lighting ceremony during Saturday’s Relay for Life in Guthrie County. U.S. Sunbeam 4-H club members (from left) Maddie Knapp, Hope Arganbright and Lydia Knapp help light luminaria bags during Saturday’s Relay for Life event in Guthrie Center. Luminaria bags and candles are dedicated to those who have battled or are currently battling cancer during Relay For Life Luminaria ceremonies. do.” Fill up your life with what you want. Love more, hug more. Do all that. That’s what is really important, he said. Wedemeyer said he focuses on three things everyday: Being spiritually strong, mentally strong and physically strong. “If I can focus on those three things, no matter what treatment I have to do, whatever comes in life, I am ready,” he said. “I keep it simple, that’s what I do.” During a recent visit to the Mayo Clinic for his treatment plan, Wedemeyer said he was prescribed by his doctor to walk an hour every day. “So I did for the last four treatment cycles, so for a couple months,” he said. “I went back and the scan showed it was smaller. It’s powerful. You make choices, you do what you can do, and you leave the rest up to the Lord.” Wedemeyer walked his hour Saturday, inviting others to join him on the track. “This is a win for today and when you go to bed tonight, you have won today,” he said. “That’s really, really important to recognize each day. We have longterm goals - my kids, my wife, family and friends, but we have to win today in order to get there.” Sid Sutton also spoke about the importance of prevention and he thanked Guthrie County Hospital for catching his cancer Walking together during the Survivor’s Lap at Saturday’s Relay for Life are (from left) Larry Kenyan, Flora Wise and Ilene Tallman. The Panorama High School cheerleaders lead the Relay for Life crowd in a spirit cheer after the Survivor’s Lap Saturday and taking excellent care of him. “I laid in the sun, putting baby oil on to get a tan,” Sutton said. “Laying in the sun in Hawaii, laying in the sun in the Phillipines, laying in the sun in the Bahamas. I cam back to Guthrie years later and found out I had really abused myself.” Sutton was diagnosed with five different types of cancers, each of them diagnosed at the Guthrie County Hospital. “I went there for a check up, which is what everyone should do,” he said. “If you can catch these things in the early stages, you can be in good shape. Early detection up here on the hill has done a job for me and I’m thankful to be here today.” Besides themed laps, music, dancing, food and luminaria lightings were again all part of Relay. Dozens dropped by for a few hours while others stayed all day. Gravel Travel got everyone dancing on the track and the evening closed with a beautiful luminaria ceremony. Durst said of the support in Guthrie County to make Relay a big success every year, “We can’t thank the committee, volunteers and the entire community for their incredible support. We can’t do this alone.” Donations can be made to Relay at Guthrie County State Bank in Guthrie Center, through the American Cancer Society website or by contacting the ACS at 1-800-227-2345.

The change will fill out the office’s schedule, allowing for 24/7 coverage. In addition, the city is paying for two full-time deputies but asking for only 60 hours of service each week, allowing for a free 20 hours of additional coverage for the county. “When you’re 24/7, that means you’ll have someone already out in a car to take on a call,” Arganbright said. “As soon as a call comes in, they’ll be able to respond.” On the city’s end, contracting with the sheriff’s office will remove the “revolving-door” problem Guthrie Center and other small cities see, as officers join police forces, go through training and leave soon after for jobs in larger areas, Mayor Dennis Kunkle has told the supervisors. The change rids the burden of covering the city’s law enforcement from Chief Rod Pavelka, currently the only member of Guthrie Center’s police department, a position that includes substantial on-call time on top of the more formal on-duty time. “The problem with the city is that when you’re on call with two guys, there’s so much oncall time that it burns you out,” Arganbright said. “We won’t have that now.” One of the main questions the supervisors have asked while considering the contract is why some of Guthrie County’s smaller cities — Bagley, Bayared, Casey, Jamaica, Menlo and Yale — don’t pay to use the BURNS FROM Page 2 made available to help expand and manage the refuge, which would broaden further as private landowners voluntarily became involved. “This is sure no federal land grab, please understand that,” Burns said. “This designation has broad-based support in our region and would celebrate a quality of life and flourishing culture of active outdoors living and hunting.” Burns stressed that much of the refuge’s land would remain sheriff’s office’s services. At their direction, Arganbright contacted the mayors and councils of those cities to begin discussing a change. “We understand that small town governments do not have much surplus in their budgets,” states the letter sent to each city. “However, State of Iowa code does indicate that municipalities are responsible for providing law enforcement services, and are able to tax accordingly.” The sheriff’s office already has been going through a hiring process to fill a county deputy position approved by the supervisors during the county’s last budgeting process. With the agreement between the county and Guthrie Center, the sheriff’s office will add three new deputies. Blake Michelsen of Belmond will begin July 1 as a deputy, as will Pavelka. All of the office’s deputies were involved with the hiring processes, Arganbright said. Both officers started working with the department July 1. A third deputy has been conditionally hired and dis expected to begin mid-July. “We had really good applicants,” Arganbright said. The new deputies, who are already trained officers, will go through several weeks of training and should be included on the sheriff’s office’s schedule by the beginning of August. They will bring the department’s officer total to nine, including the sheriff, jailer and deputies. “We’re really about where we should be for our size of a county,” Arganbright said. “We just fell behind and we’ve been there a long time; now we’re getting up there to where we should be.” privately owned, with an emphasis on farming conservation practices. The current acres designated as Dunbar Slough fall within western Greene County, but the refuge’s expansion could eventually touch Guthrie and Carroll counties as well. Burns traveled to Washington, D.C. with the Carroll Area Development Corporation’s Access Washington delegation. Other issues of interest to the area: strong support from Carroll delegation for the four-laning of U.S. Highway 30 from Carroll to Jefferson and advocacy for rural hospitals. 7 Tips to Prevent Drowning Iowa DNR Each year, drownings affect a wide swath of outdoor users, from people swimming in lakes and rivers, standing on docks and wading in rivers to warm-weather anglers, ice anglers and boaters. As hotter summers push more Iowans toward water, drownings can increase. Luckily, many of these deaths are preventable. The main causes of drowning are: lack of swimming ability, alcohol use, failure to wear life jackets, lack of barriers to unsupervised swimming areas, lack of close supervision while swimming, location and seizure disorders. Heed these statistics and top tips to stay water safe. Some are common sense, but others require skills or action to avoid tragedy. Become Proficient Roughly one-third of Americans lack adequate swimming skills. Swimming is a life-saving, life-long skill worth knowing. CASEY FROM Page 1 for the volleyball tournament at the Park.

Wear properly sized, U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets regardless of the distance traveled, boat size or swimming ability. In 2007, 29 percent of boating deaths nationwide occurred on boats that were anchored, docked, moored or drifting.

In the time needed for paramedics to arrive, your CPR skills could save a life or prevent permanent damage. If already certified, learn the latest techniques and refresh your skills by recertifying. Inquire at your local hospital, workplace or doctor’s office for classes. Have Eagle Eyes Close By A responsible adult needs to constantly watch young children when swimming or playing near water as drowning occurs quickly and quietly. Be close enough to touch the child at all times. A submerged person is often difficult to find due to Iowa’s low-visibility water. Know the Terrain Iowa rivers and lakes can have sudden dropoffs, holes, submerged shelves, foot holds and rock ledges. Exercise caution near all waters. Current strength is often deceiving even for strong swimmers. Avoid Obvious Hazards On rivers, stay clear of sweepers and strainers—fallen trees and logs that lay across portions of waterways where currents can hold watercraft and occupants underwater.

To Help a Drowning Person: To rescue a drowning person, remember the Reach, Throw, Row and Go steps from The American Red Cross: First try to reach victim with whatever is available. Stay onshore and extend a branch, pole or rope to pull victim ashore. Second, try to throw a line, buoy or floating object. Or remove your shirt, kneel down while holding one sleeve and throw out the other sleeve. Remove pants to tie one leg to sleeve to increase reach. Row, or use a watercraft, when the victim is farther out. In a canoe, kneel and paddle alongside so the victim can grasp the side to tow to shore. Go as a last resort only if the first three steps can’t be used. Keep eyes on victim and remove shoes and excess clothes. Jump, do not dive, into water. Carry a shirt, pants or towel clenched in your teeth. Swim near enough to extend clothing and tow victim. If you have nothing to extend, approach victim from behind and tow to safety by the hair. Don’t allow victim to latch onto you and never attempt a rescue beyond your swimming ability. Your Farm Auction Specialists!
