Senator Charles Grassley fields questions from employees at Iowa Mold Tooling in Garner.
An annual tradition across Iowa
and Hancock County continued
this year.
Every year, on Good Friday, the
Friday before Easter, horse riders
come together to ride with a purpose during the annual Pony Express Ride to raise funds for Camp
Sunnyside in Ankeny.
Riders began early Friday
morning in Garner where they
rode through downtown collecting donations before riding on to
Klemme and finishing out their day
in Kanawha. A total of 15 people
rode through the Hancock County
countryside on horseback for the
cause.
Hancock County’s ride ended for
the day Friday after a ride through
downtown Kanawha, but would

GARNER – U.S. Senator Charles
Grassley (R-Iowa) toured the Iowa
Mold Tooling plant at Garner,
Wednesday, March 23. The senator
fielded questions from employees on
a variety of topics.
Grassley chairs the Senate Judiciary
Committee, which schedules hearings
on nominees for the Supreme Court.
President Barack Obama has nominated Judge Merrick Garland to fill the
vacancy created by the death of Justice
Anthony Scalia.
The Senator has stated that hearings
on the appointment of a new justice to
the Supreme Court should take place
after the election of a new president.
During an interview with The Leader, Grassley said, “We feel based on 30
years of statements by previous senators, when you have a lame duck sitting president, the vacancy ought to be
kept open for a new president to make
a decision and in the process you give
people a chance to have their voice
heard on the subject.”
He continued, “First of all, you
don’t want to concentrate too much on
the individual, because it’s not about
the individual. It’s about the principle
of the people having a voice in this.”
Trade
Grassley discussed corporate outsourcing jobs overseas.
“We lose jobs to overseas because,
number one, we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world and that
makes us uncompetitive compared to
the average for other industrialized nations,” he said.
Another reason is other countries are
subsidizing exports.
“The U.S. doesn’t have much for
import duties, “but we have plenty of

following a breakfast at the fire
station as they rode mile by mile
to Jewell, in Hamilton County,
meeting up with other riders who
then drove to the John Deere plant
in Ankeny to assemble with riders
from all corners of the state.
Around 300 riders usually participate in the statewide ride from
Ankeny. Last year, the event raised
more than $250,000 statewide. Friday morning members of the Garner Saddle Club collected $383.04.
In total, Hancock County Pony
Express Riders collected $1896.04
in donations for Easter Seals Camp
Sunnyside located south of Ankeny this year through the sale of
raffle tickets and collection of local
donations. All funds raised go to
the camp, which serves more than
1,000 Iowans with disabilities every summer.

(HCHS) generates 230 jobs that add
$9.8 million to the county’s economy, according to the latest study by
the Iowa Hospital Association. In addition, HCHS employees, by themselves, spend $1.4 million on retail
sales and contribute $84,100 in state
sales tax revenue.
“Hancock County Health System
not only takes care of the medical
needs of area residents, but it also
helps create an economically healthy
community, as well,” said Jeff Stampohar, CEO/administrator, HCHS.
“There is no doubt that Hancock
County Health System, with the hospital, its services and the clinics, has a
positive economic impact on the area,
while at the same time, has an equally important role of providing vital
health services to the residents,” said
Executive Director Jill Kramer, Hancock County Economic Development.
“Having HCHS right here is also a
benefit when recruiting businesses to
our area.”
The IHA study examined the jobs,
income, retail sales and sales tax produced by hospitals and the rest of the
state’s health care sector. The study
was compiled from hospital-submitted
data on the American Hospital Association’s Annual Survey of Hospitals
and with software that other industries
have used to determine their economic
impact.
The study found that Iowa hospitals
directly employ 71,348 people and
create another 44,935 jobs outside the
hospital sector. As an income source,
hospitals provide $4.3 billion in salaries and benefits and generate another
$1.8 billion through other jobs that depend on hospitals.
In all, the Iowa health care sector,
which includes offices of physicians,
dentists and other health practitioners,
nursing home and residential care,
other medical and health services and
pharmacies, contributes $15.5 billion
to Iowa’s economy while directly and
indirectly providing 312,821 jobs, or
about one-fifth of the state’s total nonfarm employment.
“With more than 300,000 jobs,
health care is one of Iowa’s largest
employers, and hospitals are by far the
biggest contributor to that number,”
said Kirk Norris, IHA president/CEO.
“That impact carries through to local
communities, where hospitals are often among the largest employers in
Iowa cities and counties.”

House Happenings
Representative Terry Baxter
House District 8
(515) 281-3221 • Terry.Baxter@legis.iowa.gov
This was a very productive week
at the capital. An agreement between House Republicans and Senate Democrats set K-12 SSA at 2.25
percent. That represents 87 percent
of all new spending going to K-12
education. To put that in concrete
numbers, that’s $153.8 million in
new spending.
Under Republican leadership in
the House, this is the sixth year in
a row that schools have received a
funding increase. During that time,
ongoing spending for education has
increased by $660 million. House
Republicans have also provided additional funding totaling $106 million for other purposes including the
final phase of the Teacher Leadership
program. Though there is a lot of
talk about teacher cuts, the number
of full time teachers in Iowa classrooms has increased by 809 over the
past four school years. The average
teacher salary in the state of Iowa is
$55,536, which has increased 37.6
percent over the last 10 years. House Republicans have also been
working hard this session to come up
with a plan for a comprehensive water quality program. I expect details
to be rolled out next week on this
initiative. It will have comprehensive efforts for both rural agriculture
lands and municipalities. It builds on
positive initiatives that are already
being made and cutting edge research. For agriculture applications,
you will be hearing more about terraces, grass waterways, bio-reactors,
buffer strips, saturated buffers and
nutrient removal wetlands. There
are also new and promising innovations for water treatment plants in
communities on the horizon. These
initiatives will be a public-private
partnership, being funded by Iowa
farmers, local communities, the state
and other private sources. Personally, I envision a long-term
strategy that incorporates the Iowa
Water and Land Legacy Trust Fund.
(IWILL) It is not part of the current
plan, but the trust fund embraces
many of the water quality goals and
initiatives we need for a long-term
solution. Our challenge is going to
be finding a way to make the trust
fund affordable for all Iowans. I am
confident that will be a discussion
for the near future.
This was also a great week for the
HF 2279. As you know, the Senate
sent back the suppressor bill with
one minor amendment. It basically
changed the wording of one sentence. Being the House floor manager of the bill, I concurred with the
Senate Amendment and the House
made a bipartisan vote to send the
bill to the Governor for his signature. During a conversation with
him, he assured me of his signature.
I hope to attend the bill signing with
the Governor next week. Though I
had the privilege of being the floor
manager, Representative Windschitl
has been the driving force behind
this bill. He is my hero for all Second Amendment initiatives. I have
learned much from him this session. The View from Here
by Dennis Guth
Iowa State Senator
District 4
dennis.guth@legis.iowa.gov • 641-430-0424
This week, I had the rare privilege
of managing a resolution to honor
some of our country’s unsung heroes.
From 1948-1958, the U.S. military
conducted a number of tests on the
nuclear bomb. Many of those involved were exposed to high levels
of radiation that affected their health
years later. They received a special
status as “Atomic Veterans” that allowed them access to benefits from
the V.A.
In 1977, it was determined there
needed to be further cleanup of radioactive sites in the Marshall Islands. There were 6,000 Americans
dispatched to clean up and monitor
the site. Many of them were also exposed to high levels of radiation and
suffered health consequences later. It
was my pleasure to move the resolution to honor these men as “Atomic
Veterans” on July 16, 2015. Two
brothers and constituents of mine,
Gilbert Amdahl and Willis Amdahl,
of Estherville, served in this capacity
and were honored by the Iowa Senate.
The Senate also passed a bill (43-4)
that allows landowners to carry loaded and uncased long guns while operating ATVs or snowmobiles on their
property. A person with a permit to
carry a handgun would be allowed to
carry a pistol as long as it is secured
in a “retention holster.” Many rural
legislators have heard complaints
about current law impeding farmer’s
ability to protect livestock from coyotes and other predators. The Senate
amended the House version, which
I preferred, but this is still a big im-
provement over current law. This bill
passed the House on Wednesday and
now will be sent to the Governor. Perhaps the item with the widest
interest this week was the passage of
K-12 school funding. This has been
tied up in conference committee for
over a month. Schools will finally
have a firm number to use in their
budgets. We passed an increase of
$153.8 million, which is much of the
new money Iowa has to spend this
year.
What famous politician made the
following quote?
“The budget should be balanced,
the treasury should be refilled, public
debt should be reduced, the arrogance
of officialdom should be tempered
and controlled, and the assistance to
foreign lands should be curtailed, lest
Rome will become bankrupt. People
must again learn to work instead of
living on public assistance.” This
statement was spoken some 2071
years ago by Cicero, 55 BC.
As we move into April, I start looking forward to returning to my “real”
job as a farmer. I have one more town
hall meeting scheduled for April 2 at
the Library in Algona at 10 a.m. with
Representative Gassman. You can
contact me anytime at dennis.guth@
legis.iowa.gov or 641-430-0424.

Monkey Say, Monkey Do?
Political rallies are rapidly starting to
mirror the progression of Black Friday
sales. They used to be relatively civil
events, but the violence is becoming
more commonplace and it seems like
only a matter of time before somebody
gets killed.
But who is responsible?
Donald Trump supporters have become notorious in their treatment of
protestors, cheerfully egged on by the
candidate right up until the word “accountability” pops up.
But while Trump accepts no responsibility for saying things like he’ll pay
or legal fees or recalling the good old
days where protesters were taken out
back and beaten, he does apparently
feel that Bernie Sanders holds a powerful sway over his own supporters.
Which is fair, I suppose. While I applaud their motivations, the methods
of Trump protesters leaves a lot to be
desired.
The difference, of course, is that
while the disruptors at the Trump
rallies are likely Sanders supporters,
Sanders himself doesn’t encourage
that kind of behavior (unless you count
enabling it by allowing rude people to
highjack his own rally). And let’s face
it, you don’t strictly need to be in Bernie’s camp to dislike Donald Trump.
Plenty of people would oppose Trump
no matter who his opponents were.
People like the Make America Awesome SuperPAC, which recently used
risqué photos of Trump’s supermodel
wife against him in Utah. I have to
admit, I didn’t understand the ad at
first. I would have guessed it was proTrump, but apparently my perspective on Melania Trump’s photo shoot
differs greatly from the Mormon demographic.
Interestingly enough, Trump didn’t
strike out at the SuperPAC responsible. Instead, he directed his counter-attack at Ted Cruz, threatening to “spill
the beans” on Cruz’s wife.
As though going after family wasn’t
bad enough, Trump isn’t even going
after the right person. While Cruz may
benefit from the ad, the SuperPAC that
created it is clearly in the “anybody
but Trump” camp.
It’s not fair to blame Cruz for the actions of Trump’s other enemies.
But when does it become fair?
Trump doesn’t have to look for
beans, much less spill them himself.
He has 7.21 million followers on
Twitter. If one tenth of one percent of
those people decide to dig into the life
of Heidi Cruz, that’s more than 7,000
pairs of eyes capable of looking for
dirt and spreading it around for the
world to see.
Meanwhile, while Trump himself
may have missed the mark, his supporters haven’t. Liz Mair, who runs
the SuperPAC that actually ran the
ad, has reportedly received multiple
threats from Trump supporters.
Obviously, at the end of the day, everybody is ultimately responsible for
their own actions. Any large group is
going to have a tiny fraction of extremist elements that go above and
beyond what’s acceptable to the rest.
At the same time, it’s hard to deny
the feeling that people with the ability
to affect those elements should be held
accountable when they incite others to
take action on their behalf.
But where do we draw the line?
This happens outside of politics as
well.
Take Daisy Ridley, whose force leap
to fame via Star Wars has resulted in
giving her 1.5 million Instagram followers.
You might remember a string of
headlines earlier this month about
Ridley “shutting down an online body
shamer.” They were hard to miss as it
generated more than 400 articles online.
Still, if you’re not up to date, here’s
the scoop: Somebody tagged Ridley
in an image of her Star Wars character
with a caption complaining about how
Ridley is reinforcing unrealistic body
expectations and that “real women
have curves.”
Ridley struck back with a reasonably
level-headed response about how all
women are “real women” no matter
the shape or size. Fair enough.
Some of her 1.5 million followers
were… less diplomatic.
But hey, whatever. It’s the Internet
and people play rough. There are better people to feel sorry for than body
shaming jerks who harass beloved actors.
Here’s the kicker, and it’s the part
that the bulk of entertainment media
didn’t report on. Presumably because
they saw something shiny and got distracted.
The image in question was created
by Lyndon Perry, a blogger who used
it as part of a satirical review of the
movie. Perry derived a lot of amusement over the ordeal until he realized
the full extent of what happened. You
see, Perry is not the one who directed
the image to Ridley’s attention, nor is
he the one who received the ire of her
followers.
According to Perry, that distinction
belonged to a teenage European girl
who had apparently made a hobby of
browsing the Internet for Star Wars
images and posting them to her Instagram account. As such, it’s assumed
that this girl came across Perry’s image and simply filed it away with the
rest of her collection. It’s unlikely that
this Star Wars fan meant any offense
or even understood the context of the
image when she posted it. She was just
doing what every Star Wars fan does
and expressing her love of the series in
her own way.
That didn’t save her from being bullied off the Internet by Ridley and her
self-righteous fans. You won’t find a
trace of the girl’s Instagram account
anymore, or much else linking to her
former username.
It breaks my heart to think of a wideeyed Star Wars fan getting dumped
on by one of her heroes in front of the
whole world over a miscommunication. More important though, when
Ridley responded she also put a spotlight on this girl. Within hours Internet
sleuths had worked out the poor kid’s
real name and the city she lived in.
That’s dangerous information to have
out there when the Internet has started
one of its crusades.
That’s the power of having an audience. And, as Spider-Man teaches us,
with great power comes great responsibility.
So where does that responsibility
end?
Bernie Sanders doesn’t call for people to disrupt Trump rallies, but does
he have a moral obligation to discourage such behavior?
Donald Trump skirts the line of the
law with calls for violence, but is he
really responsible for the actions of his
angriest supporters?
Daisy Ridley inadvertently exposed
the real world identity of a teenage
fangirl before shunning her off the Internet. Can something that serious be
written off as an honest mistake?
If there’s a line to be drawn, I’m not
sure where it would go.

Resolution on education funding
This week’s weather has really
kept us on our toes. Bright and sunny one day, rain another, and winter
storms in various parts of the state.
Spring in Iowa continues to keep us
guessing. It’s been great to see so
many folks from home visiting the
Capitol over spring break or coming
in for meetings. Thanks to those who
have stopped by. I have listened and
learned about many topics in our discussions.
While the weather is unpredictable, one thing is for certain, and
that’s that Iowans value a quality education and good K-12 schools for
their kids. I am happy to report that
education funding for next school
year has been determined.
When the legislative session first
began, House Republicans made a
commitment to set school funding
as quickly and responsibly as possible. When we met with our local superintendents from across the state,
we consistently heard that getting
funding settled early was more of a
priority than the increase. House Republicans heard loud and clear that
schools need to plan their budgets
for next school year and they also
need to have funding that they can
count on.
Under the Golden Dome Too
By State Representative Linda Upmeyer
House District 54 / Speaker of the House
linda.upmeyer@legis.state.ia.us
(515) 281-4618
This week, we followed through
on that commitment to set funding
early, as a bipartisan conference
committee struck an agreement to
increase next year’s school funding
by 2.25 percent. While 2.25 percent
may not sound like a big number,
this represents $153 million worth
of new funding for K-12 schools.
Based on current revenue figures,
K-12 education will be receiving 87
percent of all new state spending this
year. That’s a significant investment
in our local schools. Other priorities
like Medicaid and public safety remain as key topics as the remainder
of the state budget is outlined.
All session long, I believed that we
would be able to reach an agreement
on education funding that was closer
to the Governor’s proposed increase
of 2.45%. House Republicans had
the additional resources necessary in
our preliminary budget targets and
were ready to achieve the Gover-
nor’s number.
In my newsletter last week, I talked about how Senate Democrat’s
budget targets are over the state’s
expenditure limitation. For that reason, they were unable to provide any
additional resources above 2.25%.
It’s unfortunate because I believe
House Republicans would’ve been
willing to do so. In the end, we determined that getting this new money
to schools as quickly as possible was
the priority.
A reliable level of funding is a key
principle for House Republicans.
During the Chet Culver era, legislative Democrats had a bad habit of
overpromising and under delivering
on their commitments. It was undependable spending practices that led
to across-the-board cuts and underfunding education that pulled the
rug out from under K-12 schools in
the middle of the school year. This
forced property taxpayers to pick up
the tab when the state didn’t follow
through on its promises.
Since Republicans have held the
majority in the Iowa House over
the last six years, ongoing education spending has increased by $660
million. House Republicans have
also provided additional resources
totaling $106 million for other purposes including the final phase of
the Teacher Leadership program. In
addition, the number of teachers in
Iowa classrooms has grown steadily each year, totaling 809 since Republicans have been in the majority.
Most importantly, we’ve been able
to follow through on our commitments. Each year that we have been
in the majority, we’ve funded a responsible increase that schools can
depend on.
I’m proud of the support that
we’ve been able to provide to Iowa’s
schools and I believe Iowans should
be as well. As always, please keep in
touch. As legislation is moving forward, feel free to send me comments,
questions, or feedback that you may
have regarding issues before us in
the House. I can be reached at linda.

Hunter Thompson bags up an order of hoagies made by the Hobo
Days Committee.
Hobo Days Hogies
The end of the assembly line included wrapping and bagging the
hoagies.
The Hobo Days Committte was hard
at work Friday morning with one of
their bigger fundraisers of the year.
A large group of committee members, family members and volunteers
gathered at the American Legion building to assemble hoagie sandwiches,
which they sold to raise funds to the
annual celebration to be held in August.
The group started at 8 a.m., constructing a total of 3,344 hoagie sandwiches, using more than 270 pounds
of ham, 298 pounds of bologna, and
“lots of cheese.”
The sandwiches were each individually wrapped and bagged to be distributed Saturday morning, March 26
during the community Easter egg hunt
and chamber omelet breakfast.
The sandwiches were pre-sold for three
for $10, six for $15 or a dozen for $25.
With plenty of help the entire process and over 3,000 sandwiches were
complete by just after noon.
The making of the hoagie sandwiches was a group effort by the
committee and volunteers. It took just over four hours to make
more than 3,000 sandwiches.

inding the right daily nutritional balance is no easy feat. Managing sugar, carbohydrate,
fat and red meat intake takes serious effort and planning, but transforming your favorite recipes into more nutritious family meals may be easier than you realize.
Adopting the blenditarian lifestyle is a simple solution to healthier eating. It involves, simply, blending mushrooms into meat to make every day dishes more healthful and delicious.
Adding chopped mushrooms to ground beef at a ratio of at least 25 percent mushrooms can
enhance the taste of dishes, deliver an extra serving of vegetables and beneficial nutrients,
and trim total calories and fat intake.
1/2 pound cremini or white button
mushrooms
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
4 buns
Finely dice mushrooms or gently
pulse in food processor.
In skillet, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium-high heat and add
mushrooms, sauteing 5-7 minutes,
or until golden brown. Remove from
heat and cool 5 minutes.
Transfer cooled mushrooms to
medium bowl. Add ground beef and
salt, mixing until combined. Make 4
patties. Add remaining olive oil to
pan and cook burger patties on medium-high heat until desired doneness. Plate and add desired toppings
to bun.
Topping recommendations: feta
cheese, romesco sauce, sweet peppers and sauteed red onions.
Any mushroom variety will work. Creminis and portabellas lend rich, earthy flavors to any
meal, while white button mushrooms offer a more delicate taste. For the more adventurous eaters,
maitake and shiitake varieties bring a bold woodsy taste and meaty texture to the plate.
The key to blending is developing the perfect mushroom consistency. For example, if using
ground meat for tacos or burgers, chop mushrooms to mimic the familiar crumbled texture,
using a knife and cutting board, food processor or vegetable chopper. For stews, halve or
quarter mushrooms, or slice them to match strips of meat in fajitas or stir-fry.
Practice your blending technique with these recipes and find more deliciously blended
dishes to share with your family at MushroomInfo.com.

Alek
Goll
by Mallory Johnson
Deep-sea fishing is the number one thing on Alek Goll’s bucket list. Alek
Dean Goll is the son of Dan and Traci Goll and has a brother, Erik, and a
sister, Emma. He also has three dogs, two cats, lots of pigs and ducks and
used to have a donkey. Alek was born
on March 11, 1998.
Alek’s favorites include the television show The Diesel Brothers, the
movie Shooter, Thanksgiving, Tucker
Hibbert, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Sour
Patch Kids, Klim brand, the color red,
Buffalo Wild Wings, strawberries,
strawberry ice cream, advanced projects class, Instagram, watching golf
and the birthday present of life. Alek’s
hobbies are showing pigs, fishing,
hunting, golfing and snowmobiling.
Alek’s nervous habit is biting his
nails, and his biggest fear is heights.
A fun fact about Alek is that showing
pigs is his life, and his dream vacation
is snowmobiling in British Columbia.
Alek’s biggest pet peeve is when
people walk away when he is talking
to them, and he wouldn’t do anything
for a Klondike bar because he’s lactose intolerant.
Alek’s favorite childhood memory is all of the years at the Hancock Country Fair, and his favorite high school memory is the day the new vending
machine came. The celebrity Alek thinks he looks most like is Will Ferrell,
and if he could be an animal, he would be a panda bear because they eat
bamboo, something he has always wanted to try. Alek would love to win a
lifetime supply of Spongebob macaroni.
Alek’s role model is his dad, and if he could walk in someone else’s shoes
for a day, he would walk in Shaquille O’Neal’s because Alek could fit in
Shaq’s shoes.
The high school achievement of which Alek is most proud is being an FFA
officer. In addition to FFA, Alek has been involved in football, baseball, basketball, soccer, golf and Student Council.
The best advice Alek has been given this year is to enjoy the time you have,
and his advice to underclassmen is “Have fun.” After high school Alek is
most looking forward to college, and his future plans are to attend Iowa
State University to major in animal science. Alek’s dream job is to be a professional fisherman.
Wyatt
Tollefson
by Hannah Sokol
If he could be any animal, Wyatt Tollefson would be a hawk because of the
view and the fact that he could go anywhere. Wyatt is the son of Eric and
Dawn Tollefson and was born on Aug. 6, 1997. He has a brother, Walker, and a
dog, Lucy. Wyatt’s role models are his
father and brother because they taught
him what he needed to know to live.
Some of Wyatt’s favorite things are
Seven Deadly Sins, Wilfred, Friends
with Benefits, Christmas, Justin Timberlake, the smell of pine trees, the Seahawks, M&Ms, Dodge, the color cerulean, Pastabella, pineapples, chocolate,
physics class and watching NASCAR.
Wyatt’s favorite childhood memory
is going fishing with his family on
vacation, but his dream vacation is
to go to Costa Rica with a boat. His
favorite quote is “What you are speaks
so loud that I can’t hear a word you
are saying.” To own a Dodge Viper
is the number one thing on Wyatt’s
bucket list. When he is nervous, Wyatt cracks his thumbs.
Wyatt’s biggest fear is clowns, but he loves working, driving and fishing.
His pet peeve is when people interrupt. If he could win a lifetime of anything, it would be gasoline.
During high school, Wyatt has been involved in cross country and track.
His advice to underclassmen is to do your homework, and his favorite high
school memory is going to football games with his friends.
Wyatt’s plans after high school are to go to Sheldon for powerline. His
dream job is to be part of a traveling crew with powerline, and he is looking
forward to having his own place.
Gabeby Anna
Umbarger
Williams
A favorite memory of Gabe Umbarger’s is playing on the defensive line with
his brother Grady. Gabe was born on Dec. 29, 1997, and is the son of Carey
Umbarger and Sue Umbarger. Gabe has two brothers, Grady and Sam.
Gabe’s favorite things include Dirt
Late Model magazine, Lucas Oil Dirt
Late Model Series, Remember the
Titans, Christmas, the smell of race
gas, Swedish fish, red, Northern Steakhouse, vanilla ice cream and strawberries, and his favorite sport to watch is
dirt late model racing. Gabe’s favorite quote is “Rule number one: Never
apologize; rule number two: Admit
when you are wrong; rule number
three: You never lose, you either win
or learn” by Jeremy Gouge.
Gabe’s favorite childhood memory is riding dirt bikes with his brother,
and his dream vacation is to go snowmobiling in British Columbia. His biggest pet peeve is when people chew with their mouth open. Gabe’s hobbies
include racing dirt late models and hunting. If Gabe could win a lifetime
supply of something, it would be money and happiness.
During high school Gabe has been involved in football, FFA, NHS, ATLAS
(teacher) and hockey. Gabe is most proud of his good grades throughout
high school. The best advice he received this year also came from Jeremy
Gouge: You have two ears and one mouth; God did that for a reason.
After high school Gabe is most looking forward to all of the new opportunities, and his future plans include getting a four-year degree. Gabe’s advice
to underclassmen is to enjoy high school while it last because it goes by
extremely fast.
CHRONICLE
Brandon
Bell
by Candie Cueva
He collects sneakers, and his hobbies include wakeboarding, snowboarding
and motorcycling. Brandon Bell was born on Jan. 12, 1998, to Dean and Jerilynn Bell. He has a sister, Taylor, and a golden retriever named Hollister. Riding
on the motorcycle with his dad is Brandon’s favorite childhood memory.
Brandon’s favorite things include
Christmas, Ben Affleck, pineapple, the
color red, Criminal Minds, Twitter, the
Iowa Hawkeyes, Reese’s, cookies and
cream ice cream, advanced chemistry class, the Jordan brand, watching
wrestling and Northwestern Steakhouse. His favorite quote is “When
life isn’t perfect, remember it takes
six months to build a Rolls Royce and
only 13 hours to build a Toyota.”
Brandon’s bucket list includes
travelling the world, and his dream
vacation would take him to Venice,
Italy. If Brandon could win a lifetime
supply of anything, it would be shoes
because he collects sneakers. His animal of choice is a lion because he’s king of the jungle.
Brandon’s role model is Mr. Bass because he drives everyone to work
harder. Brandon’s biggest fear is not being good enough, and his biggest pet
peeve is bad hygiene.
Brandon has been involved in football, FFA, golf and speech while in
high school. His favorite memory is defeating Britt in varsity football three
years in a row. He advises underclassmen to enjoy every moment of high
school, the best piece of advice he himself received this year. The high school
achievement he’s most proud of is being on the A honor roll every semester.
Brandon, whose dream job is becoming a biomedical engineer, plans on
attending the University of Iowa and being a Hawkeye. Brandon is most
looking forward to seeing where life takes him.
Logan
Rohlfing
by Megan Jones
If Logan Rohlfing could walk in someone else’s shoes for a day, he would
choose Usain Bolt’s because Logan would like to know what it is like to be
the world’s fastest man. Logan was born May 13, 1998. His parents are Jill
and Corey Coen, and his two siblings
are Lucas and Chase.
Even though the number one thing
on this senior’s bucket list is to swim
with sharks, his biggest fear is still spiders. A pet peeve of Logan’s is people
who chew with their mouth open, and
when he gets nervous, he shakes his leg.
Among Logan’s favorites are Game
of Thrones, Tom Brady, the Celtics,
Skittles, Deadpool, Under Armour,
the color purple, chocolate, psychology class and watching football and
basketball. Logan’s favorite childhood
memory is playing basketball when
his dad was the coach, and his favorite
quote is “We must use time wisely and
forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right” by Nelson Mandela.
If Logan could have a lifetime supply of anything, he would choose money
because it is something we will always need. His hobbies include running,
playing basketball and watching movies. His role model is Tom Brady
because he has a lot of work ethic, and no matter what Logan does, he wants
to be able to work that hard.
During high school Logan has been involved in football, cross country,
basketball and track and field. His favorite memory from high school is winning conference track back to back, and the achievement he is most proud
of is lettering in track. Logan’s advice to underclassmen is to have fun and
enjoy this time because before you know it, high school is over.
Logan’s dream job is to own a restaurant on a beach in Hawaii. After high
school Logan is most looking forward to finding a career he enjoys and seeing where it takes him.
Nick Molencamp
by Megan Jones
The number one thing on Nick Molencamp’s bucket list is to travel to
another country. Nick was born Dec. 27, 1997, to Jeffrey Molencamp and
Gloria Woods. He has four siblings, Cassie, Cody, Niki and Natasha. Nick’s
favorite childhood memory is working for his father, who happens to be
Nick’s role model because he taught
Nick everything he knows.
Among Nick’s favorites are Soldier
X, Halloween, Miley Cyrus, Deadpool, Red Dwarf, the scent of lavender,
the Minnesota Vikings, Nike, War
Heads, the color black, Buffalo Wild
Wings, apples, chocolate ice cream,
carpentry class and watching basketball. His favorite quote is “In the end
it’s not the years that matter, it’s the life
in the years,” and his favorite birthday
present was a drum set.
Nick’s hobbies include fishing and
long boarding, and a fun fact about
this senior is that he is a neat freak.
His biggest pet peeve is people who
complain about their day. His nervous habit is cracking his knuckles,
and his biggest fear is dying.
If Nick could be any animal for a day, he would choose a polar bear because
they are crazy, and if he could win a lifetime supply of anything, he would
choose steak.
Nick’s favorite high school memory is moving back to Garner, and the
high school achievement Nick is most proud of will be graduating. During
high school he has participated in choir, basketball and chamber choir. The
best advice Nick was given this year is don’t believe everything you hear, and
his advice to underclassmen is don’t be a follower.
After high school Nick plans to attend NIACC for two years of building trades
and then start his own carpentry business. His dream job is to be a carpenter.
Ana
Kozisek
by Lydia Seelhammer
A dream vacation to Iraq? That’s the case for Ana Kozisek. Ana was born
on Dec. 18, 1997, and is the daughter of Kevin and Maureen Kozisek. Ana’s
siblings include Sean, Heather, Michael and Kathryne. Ana also has one
cat, Broken. Ana’s “awesome friend”
Taryn is her role model.
Some of Ana’s favorites include The
Bachelor, the Fourth of July and the
color black. Her favorite quote is “To
be a true player, you have to learn how
to play.” The number one thing on
Ana’s bucket list is to travel the world.
Ana’s nervous habit is laughing in
bad situations, and her biggest fear
is rats. Ana’s celebrity look alike is
“probably” Beyoncé. If Ana could
be any animal, she would be a lion
because they’re the head of the jungle.
Skittles, something she loves, tops
Ana’s lifetime-supply wish list.
While in high school, Ana has been
involved in volleyball, cheerleading, track, soccer, FFA and choir. The best
advice Ana has been given this year is that life’s too short to do anything that
doesn’t make you happy. Her advice to underclassmen is “Don’t stress out too
much because it’s probably not that bad.”
After high school Ana is most looking forward to experiencing better
things in her life. Her future plans after high school are to attend DMACC
for two years and then transfer to ISU to become a child life specialist. Her
dream job is becoming a trophy wife.
Kiersten
Jass
by Alyssa McGuire
James Dean’s “Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today”
is Kiersten Jass’s favorite quote. Kiersten was born on March 15, 1998. Her
family includes parents Mark and Beth Jass and sister Courtney.
Show Times, That 70’s Show, Christmas, the Iowa State Cyclones, Tootsie Rolls, Sullivan Supply, Big Steer,
apples, vanilla ice cream, ag class, the
app Pulse and watching basketball
are some of Kiersten’s favorites.
Kiersten’s favorite childhood memory
is showing at her first Junior Nationals,
and one of her hobbies still is showing
livestock. The number one thing on
Kiersten’s bucket list is to make the top
five at the Iowa State Fair, and if Kiersten could be any animal, she would
choose to be a heifer to see what it is like
to be worked with like that.
One nervous habit that Kiersten has
is the jitters, and her biggest fear is
being kidnapped. Money is the one thing of which Kiersten would love to
win a lifetime supply, and her dream vacation is to go to Disneyland. People
chewing with their mouth open is Kiersten’s biggest pet peeve.
Kiersten has been involved in FFA, Student Council, FCCLA and NHS
during high school. Her advice to underclassmen is to enjoy every day
because high school flies by fast. The one thing Kiersten is looking forward
to after high school is going to college; she plans to attend Iowa State to study
animal science. Running a ranch one day is the dream job that Kiersten
would love to do.
10 Cloverfield Lane Review
by Holden Oulman
A car accident, contaminated
air and getting locked up in some
crazy man’s doomsday shelter.
This is not Michelle’s typical day.
Michelle is driving to go visit her
boyfriend when a car hits her off
the road. She awakens inside Howard’s bomb shelter that he had constructed years ago. Michelle tries to
find every way to escape, not believing Howard or Emmett, a construction worker who fought his way into
the shelter, about the contaminated
air outside the shelter.
Michelle didn’t believe either of
them until she realized that people
really are affected by this contaminated air, so she accepts life inside
the shelter. But problems can always
arise: The air ducts stop working,
trust issues arise and questions
surface as to whom everyone was
before the contamination. Emmett
and Michelle joke about Howard’s
crazy conspiracies, but is he wrong?
And is he mentally stable?
10 Cloverfield Lane does not
have a large cast whatsoever, but
the movie does have some talented
actors. The three main actors
Emmett, Michelle and Howard
are played by (in order) John Gallagher (Short Term 12), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Sky High) and
John Goodman (Monsters, Inc.).
Critics have given the movie an
average of 8.4/10. Most critics say
that this movie is significantly
better than its 2008 prequel Cloverfield (which I would not recommend watching).
10 Cloverfield Lane is a mystery/
horror/thriller that is rated PG-13.
The movie did not really give me
that sense of horror, but that is not
say the movie is bad. The mystery
that 10 Cloverfield Lane provides
will put you on the edge of your
seat wondering what will happen
next. The movie seems to have a
way of always getting the characters to have trust issues with each
other, and the story is well thought
out and points out reasons for
everything that occurs in the
movie. 10 Cloverfield Lane is an
hour and forty-five minute movie
currently playing in Mason City’s
Cinema West.

GHV boys field experienced golf squad
Conference realignment will send
the GHV boys’ golf team to a few different courses to face some unfamiliar
teams this season. The Cardinals have
faced essentially the same NIC teams
for the previous four decades, and
many of those teams remain on this
year’s schedule but a few newcomers
on different courses will add some variety to the calendar. GHV coach Ken
Krause is optimistic that his group of
experienced players will compete for
some of the top spots in the new Top
of Iowa Conference.
Krause has plenty of players to consider when assembling his lineup as a
total of 21 young men are competing
for playing time. With five returning
letter winners on the roster, the Cardinals should be able to field a competitive team early in the season. Coach
Krause is expecting the team to build
on last season’s accomplishments that
included a team title at the West Hancock tournament and a third place finish at the conference tournament.
Two Cardinals will lend their leadership to the squad after earning all-conference honors in 2015. Junior Grady
Umbarger along with sophomore
Matthew Heinemenn both brought
home individual hardware from the
NIC tournament last year. Joining
those two are three senior letter winners who saw considerable action in
2015. Jordan Babcock, Alex Goll and
Jake Folkerts are working to keep their
spots on the roster as they work to improve in preseason drills. Working to
break into the Cardinal lineup are senors Todd Finley and Brandon Bell
along with sophomores Tyler Kumsher and Tyler Obermann.
Coach Krause is pleased to work
with his group of players that bring
solid experience and a general love of
the game to each practice. “We should
be a strong meet squad with strong
individuals,” noted Krause. “Grady
should be one of the better players
in the area. Both Matthew and Jordan have improved greatly and have
enough experience to become consistent players.”
The NIC was always a very competitive league with teams such as Forest
City and Lake Mills always providing
a very strong challenge. Those teams
are expected to continue fielding
strong teams and the addition of Bishop Garrigan to the league will provide
an even larger challenge for the Cardinals. Garrigan has established a very
strong program over the years and
Coach Krause looks for them to be the
team to beat in the TIC.
The Cardinals will open their season
on their home course, hosting Clarion-Goldfield on April 4.
The West Hancock Boys’ Track &
Field team welcome back nine letterwinners as they kick-off their 2016
season.
Head Coach, Bob Sanger enters
his 46th season and is joined by first
year assistant coach Matt Welp.
Seniors Vicente Gonzalez (800),
Sam Smith (hurdles), Connor Sonius (sprinter), juniors Dylan Eckels
(400& 800), Nick Lemmon (400 &
800), Glen Smith (mile, 800 & discus), Jordan Weiland (sprints) and
sophomores Colton Francis (sprints)
and Hunter Hagen (discus) complete
the nine letterwinners for the Eagles.
Coach Sanger names freshmen
Bennett Bruns (mid-distance) and
Caleb Eckels (sprints) to be up and
coming prospects for West Hancock
this season.
Gonzalez, Eckels and Smith ran
in the 4x800 at the State Meet last
season, while S. Smith and Weiland
both ran in the shuttle hurdles.

GHV track boys expect to excel
After weeks of preseason workouts
the GHV boys’ track team appears to
be ready for another successful season.
Cardinal coach Kelsey Steffens has
high hopes for her squad as the team returns a nice mix of strong distance performers and sprinters. Four of GHV’s
letter winners will be working toward
a repeat appearance at the Iowa State
Track and Field Meet in late May.
Looking to return to the state meet
in distance events are Chase Smith
and Logan Dalbeck. Smith, a senior, is coming off an individual title in last fall’s cross-country state
meet and is hoping to place high
in the 3200-meter run. Dalbeck, a
junior, was also on the state champion cross-country squad and is
working to earn a state meet medal
in the 1600-meter run. Senior Ezra
Marroquin was a state-qualifier last
season in both the 200-meter and
400-meter dashes and will no doubt
be favored to return in those events.
Senior Sam Cataldo was one of the
state’s top hurdlers and will be working to double-qualify again this year
in the 110-meter and 400-meter hurdles. With every one of last season’s
individual qualifying events returning, Coach Steffens has high hopes
of seeing them make another trip to
the blue track of Drake Stadium.
The Cardinals have a number of
other talented letter winners returning that should add enough depth and
make GHV a very competitive team.
Adding options to the distance races
are Derek Brown and Ray Cataldo.

Schroeder.

Letterwinners returning to run track & field for Garner-Hayfield-Ventura in the 2016 season are: (front row, left to right) Johnny O’Connor, Ezra Marroquin, Ray Cataldo, Derek Brown, (back row) Conner
Shaw, Logan Dalbeck, Sam Cataldo, David Cook, and Chase Smith.
As a junior Brown has plenty of experience on his resume while sophomore Cataldo is also no stranger
to competitive racing. Adding depth
to the sprint events are senior David
Cook and junior Conner Shaw. Johnny O’Connor will lend his experience
to 400 and 800-meter races.
The Cardinals have a total of 21
athletes on the roster this year, many
of them freshmen. Steffens expects
contributions from Holden Larson,
Lucas Rayhons and Kyle Bell in
sprint events, Nathan Larson and
Reece Smith in distance events and
Tyler Nielson in throwing events.
“Compared to the last few years
we are down in numbers so it will
be important to keep our athletes
healthy throughout the season,” noted Steffens. “One of our team goals
is to score in every event at meets.
We have a very talented group of
athletes who are dedicated to track
and field so I am looking forward to
a competitive season.”
Coach Steffens is expecting the
Cardinals and Bishop Garrigan to
be among the leading teams in the
Top of Iowa Conference this year.
The Cards will open the season on
Monday, April 4 at West Hancock.
Cardinal boys
seek soccer success
Soccer at GHV may still be regarded as a relatively new sport by
many local sports fans but with the
Cardinals entering their sixth season of competition the players and
coaches are feeling like veterans.
The Cards have consistently shown
improvement with each season and
GHV coach Eric Williams is hoping
for more growth this year.
After going 0 – 12 in their first
year of play followed by a 1 – 7
mark in season two, the Cardinals
have been steadily adding to the win
column each season. GHV finished
at 5 – 10 overall in 2015 and with 11
talented returning letter winners on
the roster Williams is optimistic that
the number of wins will continue to
grow this year. The Cards picked up
a post-season victory last year, advancing to the second round of sub
state play, and the squad is confident
in their ability to move even deeper
into tournament play this season.
Four seniors will lend their leadership to the Cardinals this season.
Midfielders Dalton Basinger and
Turner Albertson along with forward
Patrick Terhark and defenseman
Colton Raw are hoping for success
in their final season on the turf. The
Cardinal roster boasts several underclassmen letter winners, including
junior defenseman Brandon Feuring and sophomores Dane Whipple,
Jonah Albertson, Colton Schroeder,
Connor Burke, Ryan Meyers and
Nick Joynt. Albertson, Meyers and
Schroeder are midfielders while
Whipple and Joynt are defensemen.
Burke is a forward.
Coach Williams is also anxious for
the return of goalie Aiden McRobey.
Aiden missed last year due to illness but appears to be back at full
strength and ready to step up and
play hard. Williams will also consider using the services of a handful
of freshmen newcomers.
“Entering into the season we have
high hopes. We have returning seniors showing great leadership and
a large group of underclassman who
are eager to learn and are hard working. Put these together and we have
a recipe for not only match wins,
but an overall excitement for: Boys
to become men, players to become
athletes, and individual players to
become mindful of sacrifice for the
team. As a coach I feel that every
athlete that commits to the daily
training and discipline of practice
will highly contribute to the team.
Each and every individual is very
important to the success of the team.
This season is looking great and we
encourage all of you to come out and
support the GHV Cardinals. It’s going to be a great season.”
The Cards will open their season
against one of North Iowa’s toughest
teams as GHV will host Mason City
on April 1.
Letterwinners returning to run track & field for West Hancock in the 2016 season are: (front row, left to
right) Sydney Zamago, Ryann Hagen, Brigid Smith, Maria Gonzalez, Emily Leerar, Faith Hammer, (back
row) Kelly Leerar, Emma Chizek, Sydney Burgardt, Anna Chizek, and Kaylee Hudspeth.

Hudspeth 23rd 1:11.81), and 400

“We graduated a group of seniors
last year who were very dedicated
and active on our track team,” noted
Coach Sanger. “There will be some
big shoes to fill and I am excited to
see who is willing to step up and take
on those new roles. Our underclassmen this year are very talented.”

any season; be competitive at every
meet, improve at every meet, and
pursue the conference and district
titles.
“If we can do those things, I think

Privatized Medicaid Rollout Starts April 1
By Travis Fischer
It’s no April Fool’s prank. On April 1,
560,000 Iowans on Medicaid will have
their coverage transferred to one of three
private companies contracted with the
state to handle the administration of services.
The rollout of privatized Medicaid
marks the end of a long road for Governor Terry Branstad and the Iowa Department of Human Services. Governor
Branstad proposed his Medicaid Modernization Plan last year as a way to stem
the tide of rising healthcare costs.
Along with the normal rises in healthcare costs, the state’s own financial
burden has increased over time as well.
Medicaid funding is split between the
state and the federal government, depending on how well the state’s economy is doing. In 2007, the state covered
the cost of 38 percent of the Medicaid
budget. Today that percentage is closer
to 45 percent.
Looking to reduce the state’s Medicaid costs, the Governors plan would
contract Medicaid services out to private
companies, who are required to provide
the same services while reducing the
cost. Rather than having Medicaid be
administrated by the Iowa Department
of Human Services, recipients would
instead be signed up with a private Managed Care Organization (MCO), using
their network of health care providers
across the state.
Today those three MCOs are AmeriHealth Caritas Iowa, Amerigroup Iowa,
and United Healthcare of the River Valley.
A fourth MCO, WellCare, was originally contracted to take part in the Medicaid privatization program, however a
lawsuit against the company over improper communications with state officials resulted in them backing away and
their contract being terminated by the
state. WellCare’s portion of Iowa’s Medicaid recipients were divided among the
three remaining providers.
However, the three MCOs were unable to establish a sufficient network of
providers by the time the original January 1 rollout date came around. The
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) delayed approval of the
Governor’s plan, giving the state and the
MCOs 60 days to better prepare for the
rollout.
The delay gave the three MCOs additional time to sign contracts with the
state’s healthcare providers and get their
customer service systems up and running. By the end of February, CMS had
given approval for the plan and set a date
for the rollover for April 1.
“When we look across the three
MCOs, we know about 95% of our currently active fee-for-service providers
have signed with at least one,” said Amy
McCoy, Public Information Officer with
the Iowa Department of Human Services.
McCoy says that, as of two weeks ago,
75% of the state’s providers are contracted with two of the MCOs and 68% are
contracted with all three.
These networks are important as they
will determine which healthcare providers Medicaid recipients will have
access to. Where previously Medicaid
was a binary choice, with providers either accepting it or not, now Medicaid
recipients may find that their doctor is
contracted with only one of the three options.
This has been a concern for Medicaid
recipients who require specialty treatment from multiple doctors, as there is
no guarantee that their doctors will be
contracted under the same MCO.
One notable absence from the network
of MCOs is the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. While Mayo Clinic Health Systems’ Iowa sites will be contracting with
AmeriHealth Caritas, clinics in Minnesota and Wisconsin will not accept Iowa
Medicaid after the April 1 rollout unless
special arrangements can be made.
“Mayo Clinic will work with Medicaid-eligible patients in Iowa and their
managed care organizations to make this
insurance coverage transition as smooth
as possible,” said Susan Barber Lindquist, a spokesperson with the Mayo
Clinic in Rochester. “If specialized care
is not available elsewhere in Iowa, Mayo
Clinic will work with patient’s MCOs to
try to get prior authorization to continue
care at Mayo Clinic.”
Knowing which MCO is contracted
with who will be very important for
Medicaid recipients.
Mercy Health Network of North Iowa,
which operates Mercy Hospital in Mason City, eight critical access hospitals,
and 45 clinics in a 14 county area, has
only contracted with two of the three

MCOs, Amerigroup Iowa and AmeriHealth Caritas Iowa.
According to Dr. Teresa Mock, Senior
VP of Mercy Clinic, Mercy is in negotiations to contract with United Healthcare of the River Valley, and hopes to
be finished by June, however there is no
guarantee that will happen.
Medicaid recipients with United
Healthcare will still be treated in cases of
emergency, however Mercy is encouraging them to switch to one of the other
MCOs.
“As of right now, patients should be on
one of the two that we have contracted
with,” said Mock.
To give Medicaid recipients time to
decide which of the three MCOs is right
for them, the state will facilitate transfers
from one MCO to another for any reason until June 16. Afterwards, they will
need to provide a good cause for switching.
Iowa DHS is spending their time
before the rollout working to educate
recipients about the changes to make
sure everybody is on the same page in
regards to which agency will provide
specific services. Recipients are free to
call DHS with questions about which
MCO would be best for them.
“If they have some health needs that
they want to make sure are going to
be covered, they can talk about those
plans,” said McCoy.
In order to help smooth the transition,
continuity of care provisions have been
built into the rollout, allowing Medicaid
recipients to keep their current providers
regardless of MCO contracts for up to
six months for physical and behavioral
health, and up to a year for long term
support.
However, out-of-network doctors will
only receive 90% of their normal reimbursement during this time, a payment
mechanic that the state is using to incentivize health care providers to sign up
with an MCO.
Medicaid recipients were automatically enrolled into one of the three MCOs
last year and should be receiving their
new cards this week. However, this
doesn’t mean its time to get rid of their
regular Medicaid card as there are still
some services being managed by Iowa
DHS.
“The Medicaid card, for many of our
members, is still the card they are going
to use when they go to the dentist,” said
McCoy.
On the other side of Medicaid is the
healthcare providers.
The Sheffield Care Center has contracted with all three MCOs and are
preparing for the changes in their own
administration process.
“We’ve got some work to do yet,” said
administrator Chris Ruger.
Approximately half of the residents of
the Sheffield Care Center are on Medicaid and while Ruger doesn’t anticipate that the shift to privatized care will
change very much in regards to what
services are provided, it will change the
way they handle billing.
“It’s going to be very important that
the care center know which MCO a resident is with,” said Ruger. “Now instead
of billing one agency, we’re going to be
billing three agencies. If we don’t know
who their MCO is and we can’t bill the
appropriate facility, we can’t get paid.”
Ruger does anticipate a new emphasis
on recovery and home care under the
new system as a way of reducing costs.
“I think they’re going to be more involved in admissions and discharges
from the facility and encouraging people
to go home,” said Ruger. “It’ll be more
cost effective for them to do that.”
“This new system only works by helping our members become healthier,”
said McCoy. “By helping them become
healthier and more stable in their care,
that’s how we drive down the cost of the
Medicare program.”
The Governor’s decision to privatize
Medicaid has resulted in a partisan battle among state legislators. The state’s
Democrats have resisted the plan, citing
concerns that the drive to lower costs
will inevitably result in a reduction of
services to Medicaid recipients.
Earlier this year the Democrat controlled Senate passed a mostly symbolic
bill to reverse the Governor’s plan and
restore the previous system, but that bill
was not brought up in the Republican
controlled House of Representatives.
Now that the plan has gained federal
approval, the Senate has redirected their
focus to accountability, rather than repeal.
Two senate files have been drafted to
increase the amount of oversight on the
Medicaid program.
Senate File 2213 would add additional
long-term care ombudsmen, order that
Medicaid savings be re-invested into the
state’s health care system, and create a
Medicaid Assistance Advisory Council
to further oversee the system. The bill
was passed through the Senate, however did not get picked up in the House of
Representatives.
A similar bill, Senate File 2305, does
many of the same things, has been developed in the Senate Oversight Committee and may have a better chance of
getting through the House.
“Hopefully we can still work something out before the end of session,” said
Senator Amanda Ragan. “I still think we
need to have some safeguards. Before
we leave, we’ll work on something to
get some safeguards for members and
providers. We just can’t leave without
doing that.”
In spite of the controversy, the Gov-
ernor’s plan is moving forward and the
state is preparing to make the transition
as smooth as possible.
“We know that there will be some
bumps, just like with any other big initiative that we roll out,” said McCoy. “If
members and providers are having concerns or issues, we really want them to
call us so we can track those and get on
top of them.”
Following a week of speculation,
plans to build a pork processing facility
near Mason City have been officially announced.
Prestage Foods of Iowa formally announced the project on Monday, March
21, declaring their intentions to build a
$240 million plant that will employ up
to 1,000 people.
“We are excited to take the next logical
step in vertical integration by building a
new, high tech pork plant in Mason City,
Iowa,” said Prestage DVM Ron Prestage in a press release. “We see this as
an opportunity to secure the future of our
family business, its employees, and our
contract growers.”
While news of the plant broke only a
couple weeks ago, the North Iowa Corridor Economic Development Corp has
been working for months to prepare the
project to go public.
“We’ve had a pretty crazy couple of
months working with the company, the
state, and local governing bodies,” said
Chad Schreck, head of the North Iowa
Corridor Economic Development Corp.
According to Schreck, Prestage Foods
contacted them about the project shortly before Christmas of last year. While
three months is a historically short
amount of time to organize a project of
this magnitude, much of the prep work
had already been done before the North
Iowa Corridor was contacted.
“We had that first call and we met
with them the next day,” said Schreck.
“There was a lot of legwork done ahead
of time.”
Which is not to say that everything was
ready to go. Since their initial contact,
North Iowa Corridor has been working
to coordinate with agencies at the federal, state, county, and city level to make
sure everybody is on the same page. Everything from fire safety to wastewater
treatment needs to be arranged before
building can begin.
the help of Prestage’s preparations, the
project has been moving forward without incident.
“As far as the project goes, this has
been as smooth and positive a process as
we’ve ever had,” said Schreck.
The next step for the plant is at the
state level, where the state will consider an economic incentive package for
the plant. After that, the Mason City
city council will decide whether or not
to approve the project. Final approval is
expected to be determined on April 21.
Schreck hopes that the new facility
will help reverse the downward trend of
the area’s population by bringing new
workers into the area.
“We’ve seen again that our region
saw another population decline,” said
Schreck. “We see something like this
with the potential to help drive those
numbers in the opposite direction.”
The two year construction process of
the $240 million project is expected to
create a boom in the area economy as
businesses from construction companies
and material suppliers to hotels and food
services benefit from the new building.
Once complete, it’s anticipated that the
facility will have a $375 million annual
impact on the area, including a $40 million annual payroll for more than 900
employees.
“You’re going to see opportunities
across the region,” said Schreck. “The
people that take advantage of apartments, housing, and opportunities like
that are really going to come out well.”
In Hampton, Mayor Brook Boehmler
is optimistic that the new influx of people will benefit the city.
“There’s a lot of workers coming in
and a lot of dollars being spent from
those workers,” said Boehmler. “I think
it’s a great opportunity to highlight our
community. We’d like to make sure that
they know we’re a great place to live.

Garner council awards
library renovation bid

GARNER – Good news for the Garner Public Library. Bids on library
remodeling/expansion came in below
projected cost of $1.5 million.
The Garner City Council awarded
Dean Synder Construction of Clear
Lake the construction contract for the
project, March 22. Synder Construction submitted the low base bid of
$1,175,000.
The city received bids from seven contractors. The construction
bids ranged from the low base bid of
$1,175,000 to $1,507,828.
The project includes several bid alternates: the main entrance planter
and sign; south patio, landscaping and
lighting, high efficiency options from
Alliant Energy, and tuck-pointing.
With the bid alternates, Snyder Construction still had the low bid total of
$1,317,700.
Don Furman, chairman of the committee spearheading the renovation,
said the committee was very pleased
with the competitive bids.
In January, the City of Garner was
awarded a $310,000 Community Attraction and Tourism (CAT) grant for
the project. Several other grant appli-

cations are pending. The committee
is in the midst of a fund-raising campaign in connection to the project.
Renovation of the 1978 building include a 1,834 square foot addition to
the south and east sides of the building. Plans also include installing energy efficient lighting, a drive-up book
drop, multi-media and video conferencing equipment, remodeled staff
areas, bathrooms and meeting rooms,
expanded community kitchenette and
opening up the floor plan of the main
library area.
Downtown Revitalization
Cornerstone Commercial Contractors of Corning was awarded the contract for the downtown revitalization
project. Cornerstone bid of $270,618
was the low of two bids submitted for
façade renovation.
Participating Garner businesses are
Diversified Management Solutions,
Styles in Motion, Needful Things, The
Leader newspaper, Salon Embellish,
Garner Chamber of Commerce and
the Old Creamery Antique Shop.
Action on a revised storm water
detention plan in connection to the
building additions underway at Garner-Hayfield-Ventura High School
was tabled. The council wanted more
information on: 1. The size of the
equalization pipes. 2. The extent of
the pipes. 3. Overflow needs to be addressed.
Council members discussed options
for the city’s roll off yard waste dumpsters. Last year, the dumpsters were
located at the old public works building (by the south water tower) March
through November for residents to deposit garden and yard waste. However,
there have been some complaints from
neighbors about the smell after a period of time. The city administrator will
talk to Absolute Waste, the company
that disposes of the yard waste from
the site, about possible options.
In other action, the Garner City
Council:
•Awarded the bid for asphalt crack
sealing 25,000 linear feet for 2016 to
Fahrner Asphalt Sealers of Dubuque.
Fahrner’s bid of $0.44 per linear foot
was the low of seven companies that
submitted bids for consideration.
•Central Tank Coatings of Elgin,
Iowa was awarded the contract to sand
blast and paint the interior of the city’s
north water tower for $69,600.
•Approved the Garner Golf Course
Foundation’s request to purchase a
used golf cart for $2,900 from the Golf

duties to level the playing field. We
don’t do enough of that.”
Other factors are the cost of production, employee health insurance
programs that are built into the cost
of the product and product liability
lawsuits.
“In this country it could be product
liability lawsuits. You don’t ever want
to face these but you have to be ready
for them. You probably have to pay insurance costs or self-insurance. So we
need tort reform.”
GOP Convention
The Republican Party will meet in
Cleveland in July to pick a nominee
for president. The race between the
three remaining GOP candidates for
president – business mogul Donald
Trump (the current GOP frontrunner),
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Ohio Gov.
John Kasich continues to be contentious.
“I think not much good can come
out of a contested convention,” Grassley stated. “It could be where the top
person is 100 votes short and it’s going
to have to be decided at the convention. But I don’t look forward to that as
a very enjoyable situation.”
Will he support the GOP nominee
for president – who ever that is?
“Perhaps a better way to say that,
is I’m going to do everything I can to
make sure Hillary Clinton is not a third
term of the Obama administration,” he
responded.
He expressed disappointment about
targeted for completion by October.

Adam Van Gorp is project manager.
Larson Construction of Lake Mills is

the tone of the Republican campaign
for president.
“All rules have been broken in this
campaign. It’s different from any presidential campaign I’ve ever been a part
of,” he said. “Agriculture has hardly
been mentioned.”
“I’m not making an excuse for any
presidential candidate, but you could
say it’s a reflection of society as a
whole. Aren’t we all a little less civil toward each other than we used to
be?” he asked.
Terrorist attack in Brussels
The senator said the terrorist attack
in Brussels, Belgian, highlights the
need for “better vetting of people coming into your country.”
Obama’s trip to Cuba
He also commented on President
Obama’s historic trip to Cuba.
“The president has the authority, I
think, to do what he’s done so far,” he
remarked, adding, “The bottom line is
we’ve given a lot and gotten nothing
in return.”
“Congress is going to have to act on
the [existing trade embargo against
Cuba] and I don’t see us acting on
it right away. But if we did, before I
vote on it, I have to see that there is
more political and religious freedom
in Cuba.
“I think there will be more American
investment in Cuba,” he said. “But, I
of think all the American interests that
were confiscated 60 years ago by the
Castro regime. Are we going to be
paid for that?”
“If you want to be a full member of
the community of nations you need to
abide by the laws,” he said.
