Rebecca Peter
GARNER – Garner-Hayfield-Ventura
school board of education will seek
bids on the high school and elementary renovation projects.
StruXture Architects of Waterloo,
is working with the district. At the
March 9 meeting, the board voted to
have the firm prepare specifications
and bid sheets for the high school and
elementary.
Superintendent Tyler Williams
showed revised renovation plans to
the board. A new maintenance storage
shed will be attached to the west end
of a new bus barn, instead of as separate structures.
The new bus barn, baseball and soccer field and concession stand are being proposed for the property south of
the high school.
Other options for the high school include:
•New classrooms for special education and physical science.
•Remodeling the east vestibule.
•Expand the commons.
•The addition of a wrestling facility,
athletic performance room and a fine
arts storage area.
Remodeling plans for the elementary building in Garner include:
•Creating separate student drop off
sites for school buses and parents to
reduce traffic congestion.
•Moving the elementary building offices to the current band room to create
a more secure entrance.
•Converting the existing office space
into space for small groups.
School officials hope to have the elementary portion ready by next fall.

CRYSTAL LAKE - A family outing at
Crystal Lake Park in Hancock County took a tragic turn. Joel Nedved, the
4-year-old son of Jeremy and Mindy
Nedved of Crystal Lake, was with his
family, enjoying the nice day at Crystal Lake Park with the family dog on
Friday afternoon, March 13.
Approximately 2 p.m., the child
was reported missing to the Hancock
County Sheriff’s Office. Law enforcement and EMS personnel were
dispatched to the scene to assist in the
search.
According to a press release from
Hancock County Sheriff Scott Dodd,
Joel was found in 4 feet of water about
100 feet from shore at 5 p.m.
Joel was transported by the West
Hancock Ambulance to Hancock
County Health Services in Britt. He
was then transferred by Mercy Air
Med to Mayo Clinic where he died
Saturday night.
Laura Blocker is a neighbor of the
Nedved family. She is also a member
of the Crystal Lake Fire Department
and was at the scene on Friday.
“As soon as I found out who we
were looking for, my heart just broke,”
Blocker said on Sunday. The search

Council approves
lease agreement for
golf course clubhouse
Rebecca Peter
GARNER – Effective immediately, the public will be available to
rent the upper level of the clubhouse at the Garner Golf Course
for special events. On March 10,
the city council approved the rental
agreement and amendments to the
golf course operating agreement
with the Garner Golf Course Foundation, pending approval by the
Foundation.
The council set the rental fee for a
day at $400 and the security deposit at $200. Rental inquiries as well
as rules and regulations regarding
the facility, should be directed to
city hall.
City clerk Daisy Huffman noted there have already two events
booked.
The council learned minor repair
work was done to the clubhouse
deck and the deck is now usable.
Budget Hearing
No comments or objections from
the public were heard during the
hearing for the city budget for fiscal 2015-16. The new budget goes
into effect, July 1.
The $6.6 million budget includes
$1.3 million in tax askings. The
city’s property tax rate will stay the
same at $13.23 per $1,000 valuation.
The FY16 budget includes
$1,125,000 for various capital projects: library renovation/remodeling
project, downtown revitalization
program, sidewalk replacement
program, housing rehabilitation
program, repainting the interior
of the north water tower, sanitary
sewer televising and slip lining.
The council adopted the budget
for fiscal 2015-16 and a five-year
capital improvement plan as presented.
Chamber Request
Andrew
Eisenman,
Garner
Chamber of Commerce director, presented a request from the
Chamber to host a Music & a Movie series this summer. The events
will be held May 27, June 24 and
August 26 at Central Park in Garner.
In a letter to the council, Eisenman said the live music and movie
events will be free to the public.
“The Garner Chamber of Commerce is very fortunate to have the
show mobile and we want to take
advantage of every opportunity to
showcase it and let our community
use it,” he said. “We are planning
to open the event to vendors and
non-profits in a similar fashion to
Duesey Days. We are expecting
area organizations will also want to
set up tents and offer food to the
families in the park.”
The council approved the request. “I’m excited there is going
to be something at the park and the
showmobile,” said Deb Schmidt,
council member.
High school students participating in the YIELD program this
year were also at the council meeting. Students at the meeting were:
Kelsey Obermann, Taylor Lackore,
Brett Formanek and David Cook.
In other matters, city officials
agreed to explore installing a storm
sewer intake to relieve ice and water runoff issues from the buildings,
parking area and alley from Hovda
Law Office to Clear Lake Bank and
Trust to drain the southwest corner
of the East Third Street and Maben.
A letter and photos from Reliance State Bank, raised concerns
about potential ice and liability
issues.
In the letter, Reliance Bank offered, at its expense, to install underground piping from its sidewalk
to the pipe for its roof water to
drain directly into it. The bank also
offered to pay for 50 percent to resurface the parking area damaged
during the installation process.
In other action the Garner City
Council:
•Approved the first reading of
an amendment to an Animal Protection and Control Ordinance requiring any person owning keeping sheltering harboring, walking,
having custody of caring for an
animal to clean up the animal feces
on public or private property other
than the owner’s.
•Approved the purchase of a new
handheld radio water meter reader
and receiver from Ferguson Waterworks for $5,800.

Travis Squires of Piper Jaffrey discussed financing options. The entire
cost of the project is expected to be
less than $8 million.
The GHV Board plans to use existing one cent local option sales
tax dollars (SILO) and the Physical
Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL)
to buy down this amount, the fund
through SILO and PPEL funds, according to Superintendent Tyler Williams.
“[The GHV board] is very optimistic there will be tax tax asking from
our public,” he said.

Quilting for the county fair
GARNER – “A stitch in time saves
nine” is a familiar proverb. A group
of Hancock County volunteers gathered at Garner Education Center to
stitch together a quilt that will serve
as a fund-raiser at the 2015 Hancock
County District Fair.
Packets of quilt blocks for the 2015
“Star Pattern” quilt were purchased
for $5 per packet at the 2014 fair. The
blocks were stitched together by the
purchasers at the fair or taken home to
complete.
The completed quilt blocks were delivered to Kay Kopacek, Britt, in January.
Late in February, group of volunteer
gathered at the Garner Education Center to assemble the individual blocks
in a quilt. The completed quilt will fit
a queen-sized bed.
“It’s fun to see the different fabrics
put together and what you can come
up with,” Kopacek said. “It’s just fun
to get together with the girls like this
and see what we can put together.”
“It’s a creative outlet and it’s really
interesting to see how different fabrics
and patterns work together,” added
Marilyn Leerer, Crystal Lake.
Leerar took up quilting after retiring
from teaching Family and Consumer
Sciences at Crystal Lake and North
Iowa schools. “When I was teaching I
didn’t have time,” she said.
Cindy Schleusner, Garner, has been
quilting about 15 years. “I do it because I have quilts my grandmother
made me and I feel they’re heirlooms.
So I make them for my children and
grandchildren. It’s something special
you’ve made for somebody.”
Schleuner enjoys working with fabrics with warm colors. “Maybe the
‘Farmer’s Daughter’ pattern is probably my favorite pattern,” she said.
The Star Pattern quilt will be auctioned off at the conclusion of the
Hancock County District Fair. The
proceeds from the auction will go
toward upkeep of the open class textile, arts and craft building on the fairgrounds at Britt.
The ladies plan another quilt sewing day at this year’s fair. They say
the project is a great way to showcase
the talents of sewers from throughout
Hancock County.
West Hancock
Education Assn.,
Board begin
bargaining
for 2015-16
Emilie Jenson
leadernews.map@gmail.com
The West Hancock Education Association and the West Hancock Board
of Education have begun the process
of bargaining for the 2015-2016 year.
The WHEA presented their proposal
with a request for a 7.04 percent increase, which would be equivalent to
$2,200 for salary A staff and $1,500
for salary B staff. The current base
salary generator is $25,786.
The board proposed a 3 percent increase for a total of $101,194. A possible 7.5 percent increase was also presented as a possibility over the course
of two years with a maximum increase
of 3.9 percent either year. That increase
also covers FICA, IPERS, schedule A,
schedule B and insurance increases.
service program next year will be
handled locally. The district will advertise for a food service director.
Last December, the board heard a
presentation from Lunchtime Solutions, a privately held food service
company from North Sioux City.
“I think we can do it, and we can
do it on our own,” Williams stated.
Williams met with the current food
service staff about modeling the
school nutrition program after what
was presented in December, “but do
it on our own.”
“The key is to have the right person in the director’s job,” he said.
Williams proposed that school
lunches will include two entrees, salad bar, fresh fruit and vegetable bar
daily.
School lunch prices are likely to
increase, but the quantity and quality
of the food will increase as well, he
said.
“We understand if we’re asking for
an increase in lunch prices, you want
better meals,” he said.
“I’m excited to hear we’re moving
forward on it, because this has been
a topic for a long time,” said GHV
board member Pam Roberts.
The superintendent presented a
preliminary school calendar for
2015-16. Depending on what the
Iowa Legislature does, Garner-Hay-
field-Ventura could either start on
Aug. 24 or Aug. 31.
In other action, the GHV Board of
Education:
•Set April 13, 5:30 p.m. as the date
and time for the GHV budget hearing. The hearing will be held at the
high school media center.
•Accepted a quote from Comm 1
for Internet service at the high school
for next year.
•Appointed board members to
committees for the remainder of the
school year: finance - Tim Tusha and
Pam Roberts; buildings and grounds
- Steve Watson and Jack Toppin,
transportation - Allison Linahon,
and negotiations - Dave Zrostlik.
•Discussed technology services
provided by Next Generation Technology.
•Agreed to allow Pat Schmidt,
business manager and board secretary, to stay with Datateam (Harris
Computers) accounting systems,
since that is what she the program
she is most familiar with.
•Discussed transportation and bus
route needs for 2015-16 with Kevin Hanson, transportation director.
Hanson said two buses will bring
students from Ventura to Garner and
six buses will be needed to transport
students from Garner to Ventura
mornings and afternoons.

drink after midnight. It will up to your
doctor to advise you on taking your
medications. Please don’t hesitate to
ask.
Q: What happens after a colonoscopy?
A: You will be encouraged to pass
flatulence afterward (gas). This will
definitely help you feel more comfortable.
• Generally, you will be able to leave
30 to 60 minutes after the procedure
with your relative or friend. Have a
responsible person stay with you or
be readily available for the next 24
hours. You may feel sleepy when you
get home, but this feeling will slowly
wear off.
• Avoid drinking alcohol or taking
sleeping pills for the next 24 hours.
• Avoid driving or operating machinery the day of your procedure or for 24
hours, as instructed by your physician.
• Do not make any important or legal
decisions for the next 24 hours.
• Do not return to work for 24 hours,
or as instructed by your physician.
• You may experience symptoms
such as gas, slight bloated feeling,
drowsiness or forgetfulness and mild
abdominal pain.
House Happenings
Representative Terry Baxter
House District 8
(515) 281-3221 • Terry.Baxter@legis.iowa.gov
Let me give an update from the eyes
of a freshman. Moving up to funnel
week was hectic. I arrived at the Capitol around 7 a.m. each morning and
didn’t leave until after 7 p.m. Many
times we worked right through lunch.
On top of that, there were many meetings with people, phone calls, emails
and correspondence with constituents
and the general public.
With funnel week behind us, the
pace has been changing fast at the
State Capitol. We are now moving
from committee and sub-committee
meetings to debate on the floor on the
volume of bills that were passed out of
the various committees. Many bills
have already died. Other good bills
did not make the deadline to clear a
committee. They will be ready for
consideration at the beginning of the
2016 session.
Two monumental and historically
significant bills debated on the floor
of the House this week were HF 527
and HF 573. I am pleased to say that
HF 527 is the best gun rights bill ever
passed in the House of Representatives in the history of Iowa. It now
awaits action in the Senate.
HF 573 might even be more significant. It is a bill that requires that an
abortion doctor certify that an expectant mother have an ultra sound and
hear the heartbeat of her baby prior
to having an abortion. I want to acknowledge the courage of our party
leadership and the unity of the Republican caucus, in bringing this bill
to the floor for debate. It is opening
a long neglected but crucial dialogue
on “life” in the state of Iowa. I am unashamedly pro-life. I strongly believe
that our attitude about life in the womb
affects our view of life after birth.
It amazes me how difficult it is for
some people to connect the dots of
“cause and effect sequences.” Nearly every crisis we are dealing with
in our budget shortfall as a state and
nation can be traced to the 55,000,000
citizens we have aborted since 1973.
This one thing alone accounts for the
short fall in social security for the
“baby boomers” who were born prior
to 1973 and who are now facing retirement.
But it goes much deeper. Declining
school enrollments, school consolidations, national recession, increased tax
burden, shrinking western population
and world influence, the coming Asian
and Islamic world dominance and
even the decline of the family farm all
have direct connections back to this
missing portion of our population.
The fix is clear. We need to promote
conservative principles, strong marriages, larger families, a love for children and a return to God in America.
The data is in and very clear to interpret. The many tentacles of liberalism
are ushering in a tragic and soon irreversible decline of America. It will not
be an easy fix, but this bill is a small
step in the right direction.

Crossing The Streams
Who would have thought that the
battle of the sexes would be fought out
in Ghostbusters?
Rumors of an all-female Ghostbusters movie started circulating
last year when Paul Feig (director of
“Bridesmaids” and “The Heat”) was
brought on for the latest attempt at a reboot. This speculation was confirmed
in January when it was announced that
Feig’s cast would feature Melissa McCarthy, a no brainer considering she’s
been in his last three movies, and “Saturday Night Live” stars Kristen Wiig,
Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon.
Being honest, I can’t say I don’t have
reservations about the cast. The original movies relied largely on subtle and
low key humor. Those are not words
one would use to describe Fieg and
McCarthy’s other collaborations.
Still, I’ll give them a shot.
After all, at least it’s fitting that the
cast selected to follow in the footsteps of Dan Aykoryd and Bill Murray
would consist mostly of “Saturday
Night Live” players.
Personally, my biggest disappointment with the cast is that Gillian Anderson and Emma Stone should have
gotten leading roles, but I suppose that
could be said for most movies.
However, not everybody felt the
same way.
“Women aren’t funny!” “The feminists are at it again!” “Now they’re
making Ghostbusters with only women! What’s going on!” “Burning all
my Ghostbusters memorabilia, because this movie will destroy the first
two.”
These are all things said by actual
people on the Internet. Most of them
from anonymous commentators, but
one is from Donald Trump, just to give
you a sense of how off the rails they
are.
And of course, on the other side of
the debate were the “reasonable” people.
“It’s not like they’re erasing the original movies!” “You can always watch
the older one.” “We’ve had one with
all guys, why not have one with all
girls?”
And those “reasonable” people
held on to those points right up until
last week when Sony announced the
creation of Ghostcorps, a production
company dedicated to the maximum
exploitation of the Ghostbusters franchise.
Their first order of business, announcing that the Russo Brothers
(who directed “Captain America:
Winter Soldier”) and Channing Tatum
will make a male-led “Ghostbusters”
movie to follow the female-led Paul
Feig film.
Suddenly the idea of a movie fo-
cused on one gender didn’t seem like
such a great idea anymore.
“This news is pretty much the worst
ever.” “I wish Channing Tatum would
just go away.” “All this is doing is
making me hate Ghostbusters.”
Again, these are all things said by
actual people on the Internet who, two
months ago, probably had no idea how
hypocritical they actually were. (And,
to be honest, probably still aren’t
aware of it.)
For months these people dismissed
the idea that the existence of an all-female Ghostbusters movie would
somehow diminish the original movies, and yet as soon as the next film
was announced they turned around
and started exhibiting the exact same
behavior.
This has become an increasingly
public issue with what I understand is
called “Third-wave feminism,” which
seems to be less about striving for
equality and more about scoring social justice points on the Internet and
maintaining a sense of perpetual outrage.
Two phrases come to mind. “Haters
gonna hate” and “Two sides of the
same coin.”
So now everybody is angry.
If I wanted to be cynical, I’d say this
was probably the plan all along. After
all, making one group of people mad
is good exposure, but making two
opposing groups mad is the gift that
keeps on giving.
It’s already working. After all, here I
am writing about it.
This controversy will feed itself and
the outrage will likely carry Sony all
the way to the bank.
My biggest hope is that this argument somehow stays out of the actual
films.
It would be a pleasant surprise if
Paul Feig’s movie ends up being about
a team of Ghostbusters that happens to
all be women and the Channing Tatum
movie ends up being about a team of
Ghostbusters that happens to be all
men.
And even when they team up for
the inevitable crossover, I hope they
leave the gender politics out of it. Not
only because it would be the last thing
anybody would expect, but to really
hammer home the point that it really
doesn’t matter who is carrying the proton pack as long as they are funny.
Ultimately, the two sides of this controversy aren’t split between the “feminists” and the “misogynists.” Both
of them fall into the same category of
“people who will never be satisfied,”
which is contrasted with its own opposing group of “people who are just
happy to see more Ghostbusters.”
Count me in the latter group.

The View from Here
by Dennis Guth
Iowa State Senator
District 4
dennis.guth@legis.iowa.gov • 641-430-0424
Spring is definitely in the air. As a
farmer, my heart tells me it’s time to
be out enjoying God’s good earth.
This makes it especially frustrating
when I see legislators, who view it as
their duty to regulate every detail of
society, ramble on and on needlessly.
However, I am optimistic I’ll be out
planting soon enough, and that is a
happy thought.
This week, the Senate dealt with
school start dates. After a very spirited debate, we passed a bill that would
give local schools the power to determine their own start date. I can support
this, but I was disappointed at the failure of an amendment to require school
boards to make more of an effort to
get parental input. I have heard several
parents say they never knew when the
start dates were discussed. I believe
the House version of the bill still has a
statewide start date so it remains to be
seen how this issue will be resolved.
Senate File 1 is a bill which would require a state agency, seeking bids on a
project of less than half a million dollars, to give preference to Iowa-based
companies. This may sound good at
first glance, but as I talked with constituents in counties bordering Minnesota, I heard concern. They worried
out-of-state companies would not
bother to submit a bid because Iowa
companies would be guaranteed the
opportunity to match their bid. This
would reduce overall competiveness
and could result in Iowa taxpayers being taken advantage of.
Also, surrounding states have laws
in place that would reciprocate by giving their state preference over Iowa
companies bidding in their state. I
wonder why we would want to trigger
retaliation by forcing all state agencies in every situation to go through a
complicated process to determine if a
company is truly Iowa based, in order
to give them an advantage. This bill
passed the Senate but will probably
fail in the House. I agree we should
have the ability to prefer an Iowa business, but I don’t think we need to add
another layer of complexity to the process and mandate compliance.
I had many people visit from around
the district including FFAs from Algona, North Union and Estherville, each
accompanied by Farm Bureau members who demonstrated how to lobby.
I enjoy watching the next generation
learn the process and get engaged.
When I have time, I take those who
visit the dome a great adventure with
a wonderful view! I will be in forums
on March 20 in Wright County at Eagle Grove Library at 8 a.m.; Clarion
at the Train Depot at 9:30 a.m.; and
Belmond City Hall at 11 a.m. I will
also be back in Algona on March 21,
9 a.m. at the library. If you can’t make
any of those times, you can reach me
by emailing dennis.guth@legis.iowa.
gov or by calling 641-430-0424. I
welcome your calls and emails. A
parting thought that I wish more legislators would consider: Your character
is shown by what you do when there is
nothing to do.

Q: What kind of preparation is needed before having a colonoscopy?
A: Two days prior to your examination, avoid seeded and pulpy fruits and
vegetables, beans, tomatoes, corn and
nuts, as these foods are difficult to digest.
• Twenty Four hours prior to the procedure, you may only consume clear
liquids which include broth, jello, apple juice, cranberry juice, coffee, tea
and pop.
• A large amount of water needs to
be consumed throughout the day to
assist with the prep to do it’s job. We
have different surgeons that use different preps. One prep includes first taking four dulcolax tablets and then an
hour later taking a Gatorade/Miralax
prep, which is 238 grams of Miralax
powder mixed with 64 ounces of Gatorade. Both of these products are sold
over the counter and no prescription
is needed. The second one requires a
prescription and is called Supre. Six
ounces of this product is mixed with
10 ounces of water. Then two to 16
ounces of water need to be consumed
within the next hour. This will then
need to be repeated six hours before
the exam.

important for young adults, but also to
imprint lessons about what the family
truly values.

Benefit to help Belmond family
A fundraiser is planned in support
of the Berneman family of Belmond.
The event is scheduled for Saturday,
March 28. A pulled-pork dinner will
be served from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. with
an auction to follow at the Goodell
Community Center.
The lives of the Brad and Julie
Berneman family were changed on
Dec. 1, 2014. That was the day Brad
received results from a biopsy taken
before Thanksgiving from a sore behind his ear. The pathology report confirmed that Brad had cancer, stage IV
malignant melanoma.
Brad endured extensive surgery in
December to remove the mass behind
his ear and lymph nodes in his neck.
A second surgery in January removed
more malignant lymph nodes that
were located in his cheek. Brad also
received intense Interferon treatments
daily for a month and continued with
another eleven months of these treatments three days a week.
Brad’s cancer diagnosis was not be

the only misfortune the family had
to endure. Two days after Brad’s first
surgery, their 14-year-old son, Chanse,
was injured in an ATV accident and required surgery in Des Moines. Chanse
dislocated and fractured his hip which
resulted in a sprung pelvis. The surgery
to pin his pelvis required he be confined
to a wheelchair / hospital bed for the
next five weeks. Another surgery was
needed to remove the device from his
pelvis.
To complicate matters, their older
son, Chase, had a previously scheduled
hip surgery in Rochester in late January.
The Bernemans live in Belmond
where they are both employed and
Chanse is an eighth grader. Their older son, Case, also lives in the Belmond
area.
The public is invited to show their
support at the fundraiser. Monetary
gifts can be deposited at Northwest
Bank in Belmond. Matching funds will
be provided by Thrivent Financial.

By Judy Grandgenett
Corwith Community Club held a
community meeting to discuss possibilities for the Corwith-Wesley-LuVerne School building in Corwith.
Club president Mervin Krauss welcomed everyone to the meeting on
Monday, March 9 at the Corwith
Community Center. Around 40 people
attended to listen and voice their comments. After Merv briefly explained
that the meeting was held to open up
the conversation to the community
about the future of the school building.
Merv introduced Rebecca ‘Becky’
Waltman, who was formerly a citizen of Corwith and an alumni of the
Corwith-Wesley High School. Becky
presented a slide show entitled “The
Future: Let’s Start a Conversation.”
She is an architect and her present position is as Director of Facilities Planning and Management of the Carver
College of Medicine at the University
of Iowa.
Becky is a third generation Corwithian. Her grandparents Waif and Stella
Waltman were the first and her parents,
Eugene and Pat Waltman were the second generation. Becky posed the question “Why me, why now?” She went
on to say, “I believe in this place, this
community, in you and what we have
in Corwith is valuable.” Some of the
topics Becky spoke about concerned
“spirit of place,” what brings young
people back and her own realization
that our community was a “safe place
to try on things.”
She described how she felt that with
all the activities she participated in
during her school years and odd jobs
in the community and how they had
led her to be the person she is today.
She quoted Robert Frost’s poem “The
Road Not Taken.”
During her presentation, she compared having raised her children in the
bigger city and how even though they

had more things to do they were not
able to participate the same as she had
been able to do. She said how much
her children had always enjoyed coming to Corwith to their grandparents
home and the safety of walking uptown to the store and the other little
things that small town life offer. Becky
brought excitement about possibilities
of capitalizing on arts, culture and
farming.
President Krauss then talked about
the committee that had been formed
of community members to look at the
feasibility of keeping the newer part
of the school building. They will be
looking into the ongoing costs of running the structure. A decision needs
to be made and presented to the Corwith-Wesley School Board by June
15. Comments and concerns were
brought out by the public present. Examples of other small towns and their
situations of closed school buildings
and their uses were talked about.
The group present agreed that without having the money in hand it is
hard to make a decision to go forward
with the Community Club buying the
building. Right now about $20,000
dollars is needed to even hire an architect to do preliminary work. Some
of the citizen’s comments were about
possible grants available, and in looking to the future having something in
the community that young people will
want to move, live and raise their children here.
One of the questions that city mayor
Dave Wagner ended the meeting with
is, “What direction do you want to see
the community going?” Even if you
are not from Corwith currently, but
you have it in your heart to help, look
at the Corwith- a Town with a Heart
face book page for the pledge sheet for
a possible contribution to the cause of
preserving older buildings.

Family Funeral Home
was extremely talented, innovative and
creative. You could always find him out in his pole shed. When he wasn’t
tinkering on one of many projects you could find him fishing. He especially
enjoyed fishing with the “Iowa Boys”. Ralph was a person who would pick
up an object, need to take it apart, put it back together and customize it in his
own way. He had a talent for seeing things in a different perspective.
Survivors include his wife, Rita of Eden Valley, Minn.; children, Mindy

Jennifer (Sherman) Roeser of Watkins, Minn., and Jeffrey (Angela) of Eden

grandchildren, Emilee, Tyler, and Noah Lahr, Josh, Justin and Jake Blommer, Claire and Seth Roeser, and Dylan, Luke, Jenna and Chloe Haan.
Ralph was preceded in death by his parents; granddaughter, Kaitlyn Lahr;
infant brother, Timothy; and sister, Roberta Spear.
The family would like to thank all of the wonderful and caring staff at the
St. Cloud Hospital and CentraCare in St. Cloud and Paynesville who helped
him surpass the odds and gave us twelve precious years. Memorials are preferred to the American Cancer Society or the Relay for Life.

board at this time.
Transportation Director, Kevin Hanson, addressed the board concerning the bus routes,
shuttle trips, etc. as we prepare for the 20152016 school year. He indicated that two busses
would be bringing students from Ventura to
Garner and that six busses would be needed
to transport students from Garner to Ventura
mornings and afternoons. He also asked the
board to consider a bus replacement schedule
as we have an aging fleet.
Supt. Williams showed new renovation plans
to the board. The board requested that Supt.
Williams contact Struxtures and ask that the
maintenance storage shed be added to the
west end of the proposed bus barn. Motion by
Zrostlik, second by Toppin, to approve Struxtures to prepare specifications and bid paperwork to seek bids for the high school renovation
and the elementary office renovation, with the
elementary project to be separate. All voted in
favor.
Discussion was held with Travis Squires from
Piper Jaffrey on financing options. Board member Zrostlik left during this discussion at approximately 8:33 p.m.
Supt. Williams reported to the board that
changes would be forthcoming in the food service department that will be handled locally.
An advertisement will be prepared for a food
service director. Changes include two entrée
items daily, a full salad bar, and a fresh fruit and
vegetable bar daily. Lunch prices are likely to
increase, but quality and quantity would also
increase.
Supt. Williams indicated that a calendar for
2015-2016 will be on the April agenda with either an August 24th or 31st start date, dependent on what the legislature does.
Motion by Tusha, second by Linahon, to accept the quote from Comm1 for high school internet service for the 2015-2016 school year. All
voted in favor.
Superintendent Williams updated the board
on technology services received by the district
from Next Generation Technology.
Board committees for the remainder of this
year were set as follows:
Finance – Tusha and Roberts
Buildings & Grounds – Watson and Toppin
Transportation – Linahon
Negotiations – Zrostlik
Board Member Zrostlik returned to the meeting at 9:12 p.m.
Acting Sec. Schmidt addressed the board on
accounting systems and indicated that since
she was most familiar with Datateam (Harris
Computers) she would prefer to stay with that
company. The board saw no issue with that.
Mrs. Schmidt indicated that there would be a
$1,000.00 charge to consolidate the information
from the current two databases into one.
There being no further discussion items for
the board at this time, upon motion by Tusha,
seconded by Watson, and unanimously carried,
the regular board meeting was adjourned by
Vice-President Roberts at approximately 9:21

with the board and the board gave input on income surtax and a cash reserve levy. The budget hearing will be April 13, 2015, at 5:30 p.m.
in the high school media center.

adjourned by Vice-President Roberts at approximately 10:12 p.m.

box. You can figure out
the order in which the

already provided in the
boxes. The more numbers
you name, the easier it
gets to solve the puzzle!

Garner golf course clubhouse
Garner Golf Course Update
GARNER - The City and the Garner
Golf Course Foundation are excited
about the upcoming golf season.
A year ago the City of Garner
acquired the Garner Golf Course
maintaining a quality amenity in our
community. The City moved into the
ownership of the facility and placed
the golf course operation under the
Management of the Garner Golf
Course Foundation, Inc.
“We have now completed our first
year of operation and take this opportunity to share these results with the
community,” said Mayor Ken Mick.
“We are pleased to report the golf
operation was successful, providing
a positive experience to the local and
area golf community.”
The Foundation reported a 20 percent increase in membership, a significant increase in Green Fee users and
most important an overall profitable
operation.
“In a time when golf courses have
experienced difficult financial times,
our season ended with excess funds
to be placed in the “Capital Improvement Fund” for use in the ongoing
operation. A big thank you for your
support.”
For the 2015 season, the city will
again offer 2 free 9-hole rounds of
golf per Garner residential household,
compliments of the city of garner. Call
city hall for details.
New For 2015
In recent city council action, a decision was made to open the upper
level of the Golf Course Clubhouse
for community rentals. This will provide a location to hold special events:
anniversaries, weddings, graduations,
business meetings and etc.
The facility will be open for public
rental from March 15 to November
15. Call city hall for specific rental details and to make reservations.
“We are pleased to make this facility
available,” said Mick. “Have a great
summer and we hope to see you at the
golf course.”

Eagle girls’ 2015 season
The West Hancock girls’ basketball
team finished their 2015 season 14-10
overall and 13-7 in North Iowa Conference action.
The Eagles took in half of their
losses for the season in the first three
weeks of play. West Hancock was 2-5
until winning three straight before the
Christmas break.
They returned in 2015 to lose just
two and pick up seven wins until the
final week of regular season action
where they dropped two and won one
to finish 13-9.
West Hancock beat Belmond-Klemme
in the first round of the post-season, before falling to St. Edmond ending their
season February 17th.
As a team the Eagles scored 1387
points, averaging 57.8 points per game
on the season. They hit the second
most three’s in conference action with
106, made the most free-throws in the
NIC with 273 and had the second best

averaging 13.8 points per game. She
handed out 56 assists and led both the
Eagles and the conference in steals
with 122. Gonzalez grabbed the second most rebounds for the Eagles with

to make their way to the ‘Well’ in Des
Moines.
Being one of just eight teams in Class
1A to make it to the State Tournament
is a huge accomplishment for any
team, and it will surely be one that all
involved will never forget.

Monday, March 9th.
Connor Sonius and Nate Paulus each

twice and Paulus, Eckels and Ibarra all
had one each.
Savoy blocked two shots, Nalan and
Eckels both earned one.
Danville moved to lose to Maple
Valley-Anthon-Otto 59-57 in the semifinals and to Earham 63-52 to finish in
fourth place.
West Hancock’s four regular season
losses were to eventual state qualifier
Forest City 74-57 & 81-73, Lake Mills
79-64 and Clarion-Goldfield 70-67.

eight between December 19th and January 23rd.

the second most across the state. Averaging 75.7 per game (third), the Eagles
hit 721 field goals (fifth in the state), 206

Garner City Officials attend
Iowa League of Cities Legislative Day
Mayor Ken Mick, City Administrator Randy Lansing and City Clerk
Daisy Huffman spoke with state representatives and senators during the
Iowa League of Cities Legislative
Day February 24 in Des Moines.
A tradition for more than 40 years,
Legislative Day provides an opportunity for city officials and legislators to talk about issues important
to cities. Elected and appointed city
officials from across the state meet
in Des Moines each year to hear the
latest information on city legislative
issues and to connect with state legislators.
The day included a workshop on
economic development, a legislative briefing presented by League
staff and meetings at the Capitol.
During the day winners of the “If I
were mayor…” contest, a program
to encourage 7th graders to learn
more about local government, were
also invited to the Capitol to be recognized.
“It’s so important for city officials
to talk with their legislators about
city issues,” said Alan Kemp, Executive Director for the Iowa League
of Cities. “The League’s Legislative

lationships.”
The Iowa League of Cities is
the oldest, continuously operating
municipal league in the country.
Founded in 1898, the League is a
not-for-profit organization that advocates for issues affecting cities
throughout Iowa. The League provides wide-ranging services for cities including legislative advocacy,
research, workshops, reports, publications, pooled investments, and risk
management. Garner is a member of
the Iowa League of Cities.
AMES - Spring is just around the
corner, and many folks are looking
forward to spending time outdoors.
Water Rocks! invites visitors to Iowa
state parks to join in a real-world
hunt for hidden treasure, specifically
geocaches. Geocaching is an activity that combines technology with an
appreciation for the outdoors.
Water Rocks! is a statewide youth
campaign to bring an awareness
and an appreciation of water and is
working with the Iowa Department
of Natural Resources to place geocaches in selected state parks. Currently, Water Rocks! has geocaches
hidden in 13 Iowa state parks. McIntosh Woods State Park, located on
the shores of Clear Lake near Ventura, contains three Water Rocks! geocaches.
“Geo” is short for geography and
“caching” is the process of hiding
materials. A geocacher enters the latitude and longitude coordinates of a
cache into a global positioning system (GPS) device or GPS-enabled
phone and then navigates to that area
to search for the hidden cache. The
cache is a waterproof container that
holds a logbook for finders to sign
and sometimes contains trinkets to
keep or exchange. The cache is then
put back where it was found for the
next geocacher to locate.
Water Rocks! encourages families
to get outside and appreciate Iowa’s
natural resources, and taking kids on
a treasure hunt at a state park may
be a great way to start. “The Water
Rocks! geocaches are unique because they are educational, as well
as interactive and fun,” says Nathan
Stevenson, Water Rocks! geocache
coordinator. “The best way to learn
about our natural resources is to experience them in nature, and what
better place than our state parks?”
The Water Rocks! website provides GPS coordinates for the geocaches and gives clues to help with
the hunt. Go to the “Join the Treasure Hunt” page and click the X’s on
the treasure map to reveal the coordinates for the caches at each state
park; there are multiple caches per
park. For example, this clue is for
the “Turn Up the Basswood” cache
in McIntosh Woods State Park:
“There’s a tree in the park that is big
and round, and rumor has it there’s
treasure abound: N 43 07.325, W
093 27.452.”
Visit www.geocaching.com to join
the worldwide organization for free,
get coordinates for caches hidden
all over the world, report your finds,
and network with other geocachers.
The Water Rocks! geocaches are
listed on this website, as well.
In addition to geocaching, Water
Rocks! has many ways to learn about
water, soil and other natural resources, all for free. These include K-12

Robinson taught himself how to read
and write music.
His performances are primarily jazz
and ragtime and include several of his
own compositions.
“Popular music, such as jazz, has been
our focus this year,” said Dr. Taylor.
“This has some historical emphasis,
because without American genres like
ragtime and jazz, we wouldn’t have
much of the music we have today.”
The Strongman was Robinson’s first
demo, beginning his musical career in
1992. He has since had several pieces featured in theatrical performances
and independent film production. In
2004, he was awarded the prestigious
John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur
Award for his innovation in ragtime.

These Ellingboe pieces are perfect for
the Waldorf Choir because of the composer’s strong identity with his Norwegian-Lutheran heritage, according to
Robison.
This being his first concert as director of the Waldorf Choir, for Robison,
this concert holds special meaning. “I
am excited to conduct my first concert
with the choirs here at Waldorf,” he
said. “The students have worked very
hard on these challenging choral pieces. There is nothing like the connection
that happens between singer and audience member as music, or “time art,”
is performed. You cannot imitate that
experience by listening to a recording.”
Performances by Sankor, women’s
ensemble, and Schola Cantorum, a mix
of music and non-music majors, will
also be featured. Concert conductors
include Brett Robison and Travis Beck.
Accompanists include Nancy Farndale
and Melissa Knudtson.

The Water Rocks! videos, “Treasures of Iowa,” continue the pirate
themed treasure hunt, but they herald Iowa treasures in a greater sense.
The series follows two bungling pirates, seeking treasure. In each episode they are shown a different Iowa
treasure: state parks, seasons, natural
resources and more. The pirates are
so focused on finding gold and jewels that they can’t appreciate these
Iowa gems.

Kevin Boehnke
Nathan LaCaria
Dalton Hansen
If Kevin Boehnke could walk in someone else’s shoes for a day, he would walk
in Freddie Hubbard’s because he is such an incredibly talented musician and has
inspired Kevin for years. Kevin Thomas Boehnke, the son of Tom and Janet
Boehnke, was born on June 6, 1996.
Kevin has three sisters, Kara, Shana and
Brittany, and a dog, Cali.
Kevin has an extensive list of favorites
including jazz and rock music, peanut
butter M&M’s, the color blue, Nike, the
TV show Fresh Prince of Bel Air, the
movie American Sniper and the childhood memory of hanging out with Logan Ryerson every day. If Kevin could
win a lifetime supply of anything, it
would be custom guitars, specifically
Fender Stratocasters.
Playing guitar and trumpet are a couple
of Kevin’s hobbies. A fun fact is he really
likes apples. His biggest pet peeve is when people say “legitly” instead of “legitimately.” “Shades on, haters off,” a quote by Josh Miller, is the best advice Kevin
received this year. Kevin’s favorite homecoming memory is engineering float mechanics at Colby Reid’s farm, and his favorite high school memory is playing rock
‘n’ roll with Zach Powers.
In high school Kevin has been involved in football, basketball, track, band, jazz
band, choir, Impulse, Student Council, FFA and NHS. Making the Jazz Championships and playing on the big stage is the high school achievement of which Kevin
is most proud.
After high school Kevin is most looking forward to meeting new friends. Kevin’s dream job is to be a pediatrician or professional musician; to make his dreams
come true Kevin will be attending UNI to double major in biochemistry and jazz
performance.
A fun fact about Nathan LaCaria is that he loves ketchup. Nathan is the son of
Robbie and Josette Duncan and has a brother, Stephan LaCaria, and a dog, Gismo.
Nathan was born on June 12, 1995.
Nathan’s favorites include Sports Illustrated, The Simpsons, Harry Potter
books, today’s hit songs, Christmas,
the quote “Don’t give up,” the Charlotte Bobcats, Reese’s peanut butter
cups, Reebok, the color red, Applebee’s,
grapes, chocolate ice cream, P.E. and
basketball. Nathan’s hobbies include
shooting hoops, taking videos and playing PS3. His favorite birthday present is
PS3 games.
Nathan’s nervous habit is biting his
nails, and the celebrity he thinks he looks
most like is LeBron James. If Nathan
could be an animal, he would be a monkey because he likes to make noise.
Nathan’s favorite childhood memory is anything that he did on a sports team,
and his favorite high school memory is making a shot in a varsity basketball game.
Nathan’s role model is JJ Loschen because he is a good friend, and if Nathan could
walk in someone else’s shoes for a day, he would walk in Mackenzie Van Gerpen’s
because “she is a pretty nice girl.”
Being crowned homecoming king is Nathan’s favorite homecoming memory,
and the high school achievement of which he is most proud is making a lot of
friends. That being said, Nathan’s advice to underclassmen is to make a lot of
friends.
During high school Nathan has been involved in basketball, soccer and the Special Olympics. After high school Nathan is most looking forward to going to the
REACH Program at the University of Iowa, and his dream job is to become a
professional basketball player.
Making Mr. Baumgard get all worked up a time or two is Dalton Hansen’s favorite high school memory. Dalton was born on March 14, 1996, and is the son Rick
Hansen and Shirley Hansen. Dalton also
has four siblings: Justin, Jared, Katie and
Paige along with a Golden Doodle.
Dalton has many favorites including reading Diesel Power magazines,
watching Street Outlaws and Fast Five,
country music, Case IH, the color red,
Applebee’s, vanilla ice cream, apples,
Snapchat, football and shop classes. Dalton’s favorite birthday present is money.
Biting his nails is Dalton’s nervous
habit, and being bothered when he is
trying to do something (like his hobby
of working on his pickup) is his biggest
pet peeve. If Dalton could win a lifetime
supply of something, he would choose
Mountain Dew.
Mr. Baumgard is Dalton’s role model because he is a smart man. Dalton’s favorite homecoming memory is senior sweep, and being in FFA all four years while in
high school is the achievement of which Dalton is most proud. Dalton’s dream job
is to be a farmer.
Dalton’s advice to underclassmen is to do your work and pay attention in class.
While in high school, Dalton has been involved in FFA. He is most looking forward to learning more about diesel engines after high school. His future plans are
to attend NIACC in the fall.

Jacob Hessler
Mikah’s Musings: The Variety Show
Helping with the school’s house project is the high school achievement of which
Jacob Hessler is most proud. Jacob was born on Oct. 2, 1996, and is the son of
Larry Hessler and Dawn Hessler. Jacob
also has four siblings: Phillip, Chris, Megan and Lisa along with a pit bull named
Sparta and two chocolate labs named
George and Tori.
Jacob has many favorites including
reading Everlost by Neal Shusterman,
watching Futurama and The Interview,
Dodge cars, the color lime green, Morgan Freeman, Christmas, Kit Kats, the
49ers, Taco Bell, vanilla ice cream,
apples, Snapchat, football and taking
power mechanics class. Jacob’s favorite
birthday present is his 49ers shorts, and
his favorite quote is “Ain’t nobody got
time fo’ dat.” Jacob also enjoys listening
to hip-hop, metal and rock music.
A fun fact about Jacob is that he likes to hang out with his friends and play games.
In fact, his favorite childhood memory is getting a Play Station 2 for the first time.
Jacob’s dream vacation is to travel to Great Britain, and his dream job would be
welding or working in construction.
People talking about something they know nothing about is Jacobs’s biggest pet
peeve. Playing video games tops his list of hobbies, and if he could win a lifetime
supply of something, he would choose money. Jacob’s father is his role model
because he raised Jacob and always listened to him when something bothered him.
Jacob’s advice to underclassmen is to complete and turn in your schoolwork on
time and never be late for class. While in high school, Jacob has been involved in
building a real house. He is most looking forward to living by himself after high
school, and his future plans are to attend NIACC for welding.
As an avid participant in many activities and a habitual procrastinator,
I’ve had my fair share of hectic days.
These next few weeks, however, might
take the cake for the most going on at
one time. With the variety show preparations underway and a five-day New
York trip to pack for, the days seem to
blur into one giant, messy all-nighter.
The only things keeping me from pulling my hair out are the idea of taking
cheesy pictures at the various landmarks in New York City with my fellow choir members and the excitement
of putting on my last variety show with
my friends.
Even with all the stress that comes
with having a full schedule, I’ve come
to realize how lucky I am to be a student at GHV. It truly is a community of
opportunity with endless ways to get
involved. A prime example of an opportunity GHV offers that many other
schools don’t is the variety show.
A showcase for the talent at GHV and
a great opportunity for students to work
together outside of the classroom, the
variety show is a tradition of sorts that
has been something students looks forward to every March for the past three
years (and years before that at Ventu-

ra). Like any other school production,
the variety show serves as a creative
outlet for students. What sets the show
apart, however, is one minor detail. The
adults graciously, and with extreme
caution, hand over control of the show
to the students. For the record, I’m not
sure who thought this was a good idea,
but we’ve certainly made the best of it.
As a member of the planning committee, the variety show holds a big
spot in my heart. I like that students
are given another opportunity to show
what they’re good at to their peers and
those from surrounding communities.
After raising over $1,500 for last year’s
prom, the variety show is not only a
great way for students to step out of
their comfort zone but also has evolved
into a new and fun way for the school
to deviate from the usual fundraising
methods.
This year’s variety show is on two
nights, Friday, March 20, and Saturday,
March 21. Members of the community
are invited to join in for some great music, big laughs and even a few surprises
appropriate for all ages. At 7 p.m. the
curtains will open in GHV’s auditorium
where this year’s hosts, Alek Goll and
Chase Ulven, will take the stage and
announce the first act.
Students Compete at District Individual Speech
GHV speech students travelled to
Clear Lake to compete in the district
individual speech contest on Saturday,
Feb. 28. Of the 19 performances, 12 are
moving on to the state competition. In
order to move on to state, performers
must receive a Division I rating at the
district competition.
Students continuing their performances at state include Carlie Knutson
in prose, Madison Benzing in musical
theater, Anna Williams in poetry, Candie Cueva in original oratory and public
address, Emily Howke in poetry, Tiara
Van Gerpen in poetry, Parker Schnieders in radio news, Keegan Clark in
radio news, Ana Nannenga in storytell-
ing, Adyson Hook in poetry and Star
Pralle in acting.
Students receiving Division II ratings
included Ali Scott in literary program,
Emily Schreiber in musical theater,
Paige Rasmuson in acting, Sam Luscombe in acting, Holden Oulman in
acting, Sarah Sperr in storytelling and
Samantha Haugen in acting.
State speech will be held on March
21 in Starmont, Iowa.

Emily Spilman
by Anna Oppedahl
A fun fact about Emily Spilman is that she loves glow sticks. Emily, born Sept.
18, 1996, is the daughter of Paula and Dennis Spilman. She also has two siblings,
Macey and Bradey. Basketball, volleyball, soccer, longboarding, hiking,
hanging out with friends and family and
watching Hawkeye football games are
Emily’s hobbies.
Emily has many favorites that include
the book Divergent, watching Game of
Thrones, the movie Step Brothers, listening to any type of music, the color yellow, taking science classes, Facebook,
Nike and celebrity Rob Dyrdek. Emily
also enjoys eating at Northwest Steakhouse, chocolate, strawberries, cookie
dough ice cream and celebrating Christmas. The Iowa Hawkeyes are Emily’s
favorite sports team, basketball is her
favorite sport and her favorite quote is
“Make every place you go a better place because you have been there.”
Having traveling team sleepovers is Emily’s favorite childhood memory. Learning how to surf is on Emily’s bucket list, and going to Greece is her dream vacation.
Emily’s nervous habit is giggling, and her biggest pet peeve is when people talk to
her as if she is dumb. Beyoncé is the celebrity that Emily says she resembles, and if
she could win a lifetime supply of anything, she would want Nike apparel. If Emily
could be any animal, she would be a bear because it is her spirit animal.
Emily’s parents are her role models because they are amazing people who live
life to the fullest. If Emily could walk in anyone’s shoes for a day, she would walk
in Rob Dyrdek’s shoes because his life is interesting and fun. Bringing her friend
Miranda her Elder Wand from Harry Potter when Miranda actually wanted Emily’s curling iron wand is Emily’s favorite homecoming memory while playing
sports with her teammates is Emily’s favorite high school memory. Maintaining a
high GPA while being highly involved in the school is the high school achievement
of which Emily is most proud.
During high school Emily has been involved in volleyball, basketball, soccer,
NHS, Teen Council, FCCLA and AAU basketball and volleyball. The best advice
Emily has been given this year is “Don’t stress; make the best out of your last year
of high school.” Emily’s advice to underclassmen is to take calculus pass or fail.
After high school Emily looks forward to experiencing new things and meeting
new people. Her future plans are to attend UNI and figure out God’s plan for her.
Emily’s dream job is to help people around the world.
GHV Competes at Regional Mock Trial
by Riannan Kadrlik
One of GHV’s two mock trial teams
placed in the top four at regional competition and is advancing to state competition later this month.
Since the beginning of second semester, the mock trial teams have been
working very hard on this year’s case.
This year’s civil mock trial case is the
plaintiffs Kendall, Macy and Amie
Greenwood vs. the defendant PrairieZephyr Corporation. The Greenwood’s believe that toxic waste from
PrairieZephyr’s operations is the source
of Kendall’s liver cancer and Amie’s
autism. They claim the company was
negligent, that it trespassed on their
property and that it is a nuisance.
This year’s Team OMS consists of
Ben Baumgard, Olivia Buseman, Candie Cueva, Andrew Dornbier, Riannan
Kadrlik, Jordan Nelson, Dane Neuberger, Theo Schoneman, Cole Schreiber
and Anna Williams. Team INO consists
of Cassandra Davis, Samantha Haugen,
Adyson Hook, Gracie Hulbert, Conner
Kiss, Tehya Mitchell, Star Pralle, Parker Schnieders, Alaina Scott and Emma
Whelan. The teacher coaches are Mrs.
Hill and Mrs. Baumgard, and their attorney coach is Phil Garland.
Regional mock trial competition was
held Thursday, March 5, at Marshalltown. The teams arrived at competition
a little before 8 a.m., set up the courtroom for the first round and then waited
for the judges, who are normally late.
FCCLA: Row 1 (l to r): Carlie Knutson, Kyleigh Slaichert, Morgan Graham, Betshaida Larson, Alaina

Family, Career and Community
Leaders of America (FCCLA) is a
national career and technical student
organization that provides personal
growth, leadership development and
career preparation opportunities for
students through family and consumer
sciences education.
One of the many pledges FCCLA
members can take is to eat at least
three meals a week with their family.
The leisurely family meal, a staple for
countless generations of Americans,
has been taken off the table by the realities of 21st Century lifestyles. Parents juggle long workdays, daily commutes, their children’s after-school
activities and endless demands of running a household. There just isn’t time.
But families that eat meals together
reap long-term benefits that feed the
body, mind and spirit, and that’s why
FCCLA is launching a national campaign, FCCLA@TheTable, by asking
its more than 200,000 members to take
a pledge to plan and prepare healthy
meals for their families.
The 40+ members of the Garner-Hayfield/Ventura chapter of FCCLA have taken the pledge to eat with
their families. They also conducted
“Smarties for Smarties” last fall by
standing at the entrances of the high
school parking lots with stop signs.
People who stopped and were wearing their seat belt were “smarties” and
then received Smarties. Members sold
Casey’s donut and pizza cards as part
of a fundraiser to raise money for the
chapter, and most members attended
the district meeting last December in
Fort Dodge. Mrs. Marian Greiman advises the GHV chapter.
Students who are in FCCLA often
experience the gratifying feeling of
helping others and their community.
Senior Tiara Van Gerpen, who has
been involved in FCCLA for four
years, says, “It makes me appreciate
my family more than I did in middle
school.”
The week of Feb. 8-14 was National
FCCLA Week. The local chapter celebrated by having a smoothie party on
Monday the 8th with expert smoothie maker Sam Luscombe making the
smoothies. On Thursday they had a
“photo booth.” They gathered props
from the prop room and showcased
their FCCLA style for photos for the
yearbook. Finally, on Friday it was a
red out.
The GHV chapter of FCCLA has
fulfilled its goal of bringing high
school students closer to each other
and their families.

Raspberries, a favorite of many
home gardeners, are relatively easy to
grow, and are hardy and productive in
most of Iowa. If given proper care, a
100-foot-long row of red raspberries
can produce 100 to 150 pints of fruit.
Proper pruning increases berry numbers and size and is required to obtain
maximum yields.
Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach offer
tips on the proper way to prune raspberries. To have additional questions
answered, contact the ISU Hortline

Cook’s Choice
summer-bearing red raspberries in late
winter or early spring?
Summer-bearing red raspberry cultivars include ‘Latham,’ ‘Boyne’ and
‘Killarney.’ All summer-bearing red
raspberries should be pruned in the
same manner.
In March or early April, remove all
weak, diseased and damaged canes at
ground level. Leave the most vigorous
canes, those approximately one-fourth
inch in diameter when measured 30
inches from the ground. After thinning, remaining canes should be
spaced about 6 inches apart.
Also, prune out the tips of the canes,
which have died due to winter injury.
Cut back to live tissue. If the canes
have suffered little winter dieback, remove the top one-fourth of the canes.
Cane-tip removal or “heading-back”
prevents the canes from becoming
top heavy and bending over under the
weight of the crop.
fall-bearing red raspberries in late
winter or early spring?
Popular fall-bearing red raspberry
cultivars include ‘Heritage,’ ‘Caroline,’ and ‘Autumn Bliss.’ Fall-bearing red raspberries naturally produce
two crops. One crop is produced
in summer on the previous year’s
growth. A second crop is produced in
late summer or early fall at the tips of
the current year’s growth. Fall-bearing
red raspberries can be pruned two different ways in March or early April.
One pruning option is to prune out
all weak, diseased and damaged canes
at ground level. Leave the largest,
most vigorous canes. Cut back the tips
of the canes that remain. Remove approximately the upper one-third of the
canes. This option provides two crops
during the year.
The second option is to prune all
canes back to the ground in late winter/early spring. This pruning option
produces a single crop in late summer or early fall. (The summer crop
is eliminated.) While only one crop is
produced, total crop yield is actually
rapidly. What should I do?
Red raspberries spread rapidly as
they sucker profusely from their roots.
To prevent the planting from becoming a wide, unmanageable thicket,
red raspberries should be confined to
a one- to two-foot-wide hedgerow.
Shoots growing beyond the one- to
two-foot-wide hedgerow should be
destroyed using a rototiller or spade.
Early spring is an excellent time to remove shoots growing beyond the oneto two-foot-wide hedgerow.
