The business cycle at Whink wasn’t the most favorable at the time, but now two years on, Steve Throssel says things have turned around, and everyone feels pretty good about having decided to re-invest in Whink for the long haul, rather than put the resources somewhere else. Throssel spoke as the company is celebrating its 70th birthday, and about to fill four staff positions, bringing it back up to the 44 it had employed prior to a small cutback that couple of years ago. Along with the new people, the company will be installing a new production line inside the building site here in Eldora. The new equipment will allow Whink to cut the turn-around time on big orders and in doing so accommodate the needs of some major retailers who are returning to the customer fold. When the likes of Walmart want short notice deliveries, you step up the pace, Throssel says. Last but not least, Throssel also announced he will be naming a new president of operations at the Eldora plant. Throssel will remain very active in the business too, but he says the naming of Curt Lambertsen to the newly created senior post should give a boost to the company and make a down payment on the future. Throssel says that a couple of years ago a combination of adverse circumstances made for a period of introspection at Whink. A strong competitor to Whink had put itself up for sale and part of its sell-off strategy was to increase market share, even if it meant setting unprofitable price levels. It was not a situation which Healthy food makes a healthy mind by Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – Dorothy’s Senior Center says a mind is a terrible thing to waste, and now there is a diet rich in green leafy vegetables, nuts, berries, beans, whole grains, fish, poultry, olive oil and even a little wine, all designed to bulk up your mental fitness. Interested? Stop at the senior center on Friday February 12 at 11:30 a.m. and take part in the informational program. These foods are all part of the MIND diet – a diet showing promise in reducing the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Recent research conducted by Rush University and funded by the National Institute on Aging followed 923 individuals for almost 5 years. What they learned was that people who followed the MIND diet, even moderately, had a 53% reduction in dementia and the development of Alzheimer’s. Join your local meal site’s February’s Fresh Conversations program this month to learn more about the MIND diet and how you can include foods to keep your brain www.eldoranewspapers.com healthy and your memory sharp. February’s Fresh Conversations discussion will be held at the Dorothy’s Senior Center in Eldora on February 12 at 11:30. Local facilitator, Lynette Miller from NEI3A will lead the discussion. The conversation will explore components of the MIND diet, including the foods listed at the beginning of this article. Did you know that blueberries might be your brain’s new best friend? Of those powerful memory foods, blueberries have been shown to be most beneficial. Blueberries are packed with anthocyanins and show promise in lowering blood pressure and preserving memory and reasoning skills. Participants will learn ways to include fresh and frozen blueberries into their diets. An easy-prepare, 3-ingredient blueberry syrup will be the food sample of the month. This syrup is made of all-natural ingredients and can be used on pancakes, ice cream, yogurt or on other food where a topping sauce is desired. (continued on page 2) With business picking up, some new hires pending, Whink Products cleared an area in the shop for a new packing line designed to speed up the turnaround time in deliveries to some of it biggest retail customers. The company has logged in a big increase in sales over the last year and the new production line is part of a decision made a couple of years ago to invest the company’s resourcs back into the production facility here in Eldora. Company head Steve Throssel also announced recently the appointment of a new president of operations at the plant, in Curt Lambertsen. Throssel is shown here with Shane Wood in the area being set aside for the new production line. could be sustained forever, Throssel says, and now the competition has returned to pricing more realistically. He also says that for reasons that were never made clear, a major national retailer who was a big customer for Whink products, decided to cut back on its purchases. Again, that situation has also reversed, and now Whink’s offerings in Walmarts are on the rise again. All that taken together, Throssel says the year finished showing revenues were up sixteen percent. Throssel joined Whink back in 1987 and had returned to his hometown of Eldora in 1980. He grew up here and graduated from the local high school, and says with Whink’s celebrating its 70th birthday, he wants to start introducing some younger people to the management (continued on page 3) Kids sought to push Pork industry County Pork producers offer youth opportunities by Rick Patrie News Editor HARDIN COUNTY – Every year the county pork producers invite some young people to join in and help growers promote the industry.

Farmers urged to respond to survey DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today announced that the Iowa Commercial Horticulture Survey for Food Crops is being mailed statewide to farmers that raise horticulture food crops. Farmers are asked to complete the survey and return to the Department by March 15, 2016. “It has been 15 years since a similar survey was created and sent to producers, and much has changed in that time. This is a rapidly growing and very diverse sector of Iowa’s agricultural economy, and it is vital that we capture reliable and current statistics. The data gathered will provide insights and guidance to producers, researchers, policy makers, agricultural-related businesses, and the public at large,” Northey said. Iowa commercial horticulture producers that have not received a survey by February 10th can request one by calling 515-242-6239 or by going online to request one at http://www.iowaagriculture.gov/ agDiversification.asp. The survey hopes to capture the 2015 data of commercial production of the state’s fruit and vegetable crops as well as that of nuts, honey, maple syrup, and herbs. Data collected will also include information on acres under production, high tunnel and greenhouse usage, information on processed and value-added products, and marketing outlets. The results of the survey will available in December. The survey was the result of a cooperative effort by many organizations including the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Iowa State University Extension & Outreach, the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, the Iowa Farm Bureau, the Iowa Field Office of the National Agricultural Statistics Service, Practical Farmers of Iowa, the Iowa Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association, the Iowa Farmers Market Association, and Eat Greater Des Moines.

Report from the Statehouse (by State Senator Bill Dix who represents Hardin County in the Iowa Senate.) Senate Republicans continue to stress the importance of sustainable spending and honoring our commitments. It is essential this remains our focus moving forward considering we face a challenging budget year. That challenge will result in making tough choices that impact Iowans. One of those tough choices last week was on education funding. Legislators want this matter solved in a timely manner because that is what school board members and school administrators shared with us repeatedly during the interim. At the moment, it appears Legislators agree setting this number early is a priority. What is not agreed upon is the amount of new money that will be allocated to schools. Last week, House Republicans passed Sunday Buffet 11 a.m.- 2 p.m. Seafood - Crab Legs - Fried Shrimp Panda One an increase of nearly $143 million of new funding, which includes $53 million in Teacher Leadership and Compensation money. The Senate took up that bill last Wednesday with Senate Democrats suggesting nearly $228 million of new spending on education, which includes TLC. Now, negotiations can begin in conference committee. Senate Republicans believe it is important our children receive a world-class education. It is our desire to provide them the available resources and tools to compete in our global economy. It is also imperative we keep our promises and budget responsibly when it comes to education. Promising schools tens of millions of dollars only to fail on that promise months from now would be devastating to schools and the students. This is not a scare tactic or rhetoric - it is a reality.

This is not acceptable. I hope the conference committee will come to an agreement on a level of increased funding for schools which recognizes the importance of investing in our students while ensuring we do not over-promise, only to under-deliver when it’s time to pay. If we fail to honor our commitments today, how will our children trust us in the future? I am always interested in hearing from Iowans and listening to their concerns.

The camp will focus on teaching correct mechanics in all areas of softball including offense, defense, base running, the mental game, and specific game situations. “This camp will leave players feeling knowledgeable and confident in their skills,” commented ECC Head Softball Coach Kayla Farnsworth. “They will be ready to dominate this upcoming season.” The cost of the Feb. 21 camp will be $40. The second camp, an ECC Softball Showcase, will be held on Sunday, March 6, for 8th through 12th grade stu- dents. This camp will focus on teaching advanced skill sets in offense, defense, base running and game situations.

Sports Tuesday, February 9, 2016 • page 11 Spartans sweep rival South Hardin cagers by Scott Bierle Sports Editor GRUNDY CENTER- A perfect conference campaign was captured by Grundy Center, coasting past the South Hardin girls’ basketball team, 55-27 during North Iowa Cedar League West play here Friday. The Spartans completed the host’s sweep in the nightcap with a 61-55 win over the Tigers. SCORING WOES FOR GIRLS The scoring struggles continued for the South Hardin girls, producing a season-low output. The Tigers were limited to single figures all four quarters after hitting double digits just one in four periods with West Marshall last Tuesday. “Grundy Center plays hard on defense and we had a hard time ever starting our offense. We did a lot of catch and shooting, instead of working for the good shot,” commented South Hardin coach Matt Thomp- son. The Tigers battled the state-ranked Spartans early, leading 9-8 late in the first period. Grundy scored the game’s first eight points and South Hardin answered with the next nine-in-a-row behind Nina Priske’s seven. The Spartans’ Hailey Wallis’ three-pointer then beat the buzzer for a 12-9 lead after one quarter and ignited a 13-0 run as Grundy tallied the first nine points of the second and never looked back. The Spartans stretched the advantage to 31-16 at the break as the Tigers went the first 3:17 scoreless and 6:10 deep into the second before hitting a field goal – a Lydia Rose three-ball. After Priske’s bucket pulled South Hardin within 31-18 to start the third, Grundy scored the next 13 points sparked by Katie Lindeman’s two three-pointers. Lindeman netted a game-high 19 points, Wallis had 15 and Brooke Flater nine. Wallis sank three treys and Lindeman two. Lindeman had a career-high 29 points in the first meeting – a 60-44 victory. The No. 14 in Class 2A Spartans capped the conference at 12-0 and closed the regular season 20-1 with 15 straight wins. Priske led a short scoring column for the Tigers at nine points with eight for Hannah Tripp and five each for Rose and Miquela Teske. “We need to play more consistent,” noted Thompson. “We came out Tuesday against West Marshall with great intensity and battled, and tonight we didn’t show much intensity.” The loss left the Tigers 5-5 in the league – tied for third and 12-7 overall with a fifth loss in the past eight games. Grundy Center was back on the court just 24-hours after winning a state-ranked showdown 49-44 over West Marshall, No. 9 in Class 3A, Thursday. Scoring by Quarters: South Hardin 9 7 5 6 -27 Grundy Center 12 19 13 11 -55 South Hardin scoring – Nina priske 9, Hannah Tripp 8, Lydia Rose 5, Miquela Teske 5. Three-point goals: priske, Tripp 1, Rose 1. TIGERS FOR TWO- Above, the Tigers’ Nina Priske shoots for two against the defense of Grundy Center’s Katie Lindeman, while below, the Tigers’ Hunter Edgerton sails past two Spartan defenders and to the basket during NICL West cage play Friday. South Hardin lost both games – the girls 55-27 and boys 61-55. COMEBACK FALLS SHORT The South Hardin boys dug a deep hole early and fell just short of climbing out. Grundy Center opened a 19-4 lead after one quarter, scoring the final 14 points and then repelled one charge after another by the visiting Tigers. “We lost that game in the first quarter,” stated South Hardin coach Adam Weig. “The guys did a nice job of coming back, but we didn’t come to play at the beginning.” Back-to-back Grant Weldon threepointers along with two baskets by Jarrett Stoner fueled the Spartans’ early scoring spree. South Hardin then won the next three periods 51-42. The visitors pulled within seven at 30-23 late in the second on a Hunter Edgerton three-ball and in the third were within six at 41-35 on a Dane Butler bucket. Down nine after three, South Hardin sliced the deficit to five at 5348 on triples by Ted Dunn and Jon Weber with 3:15 showing, but each and every time the Spartans had the answer. “When you are down every possession is important and we didn’t handle that well. We executed at time and didn’t at other times,” Weig said. Edgerton’s 15 points led four Tigers in double figures with 14 for Weber and Dunn, and 10 for Butler. Jordin Wilkie’s two points rounded out the scoring. Dunn drained four three-pointers with two for Edgerton and Weber, who had eight rebounds and six assists. The loss was a fifth straight for South Hardin, tumbling to 4-6 in the league and 5-13 overall. The Tigers won the two team’s first meeting 6463 in overtime. The Spartans’ Austin Burroughs buried 16 points for game-high honors with 13 for Stoner. Weldon added nine, Bryce Flater eight and Jared Krausman seven. Stoner had seven rebounds with five assists and four steals for Burroughs. Grundy stands 6-5 in the conference and 10-10 overall with the third straight win. The South Hardin cagers wrap-up the NICL West tonight (Tuesday) against AGWSR in Eldora. Thursday, the boys then play highlyranked Dike-New Hartford in Eldora and the girls travel to Webster City.

THIRD PLACEAbove, South Hardin-BCLUW’s Michael Chapman at 138-pounds battles South Tama’s Dallas Home during a Class 2A sectional wrestling meet Saturday. Chapman pinned Home in 1:02 and eventually captured the bronze medal. AIRBORNE- At right, the Storm’s Ryland Duchane at 160-pounds takes Liam Schevermann of Roland-Story for a ride during mat action at the Conrad Class 2A sectional meet Saturday. Duchane pinned Scheverman and eventually ended the bracket’s runner-up. Showers, Duchane of SH-BCLUW clear wrestling’s 1st hurdle by Scott Bierle Sports Editor CONRAD- The first hurdle of wrestling’s post-season was cleared by South Hardin-BCLUW’s Ian Showers and Ryland Duchane. The two juniors registered runnerup placings at a Class 2A sectional meet and qualified for districts with the top two efforts. Showers scored the silver medal at 113-pounds and Duchane at 160. The third-seeded Showers posted an impressive 10-0 victory over Grinnell’s Alexander Farmer in the semi-finals and lost by fall in 3:07 to state-ranked Brady Fritz of South Tama in the championship match. In the semi, Showers combined a takedown with a two-point nearfall for a 4-0 first-period lead. That cushion held into the third when Showers was awarded a penalty point followed by a takedown and three-point nearfall. The second-seeded Duchane traded falls as he pinned Roland-Story’s Liam Schevermann at 1:09 in the semis and was pinned by Nick Long of East Marshall at 2:39 in the finals. “Duchane and Showers did what they had to do to advance. They knew the semi-finals were big matches and came through with wins,” stated SHBCLUW co-coach Mike Olson. “Overall, it was about what we expected with maybe a couple exceptions. It was disappointing to see Dorow finish fourth after his big showing at conference, but on the other hand, Chapman taking third with a shot at wrestleback was exciting. All the kids fought hard,” added Olson. The Storm registered a 5-2 record with five falls and three byes in the quarterfinals, but then went just 2-6 in the semi-finals. Chapman pinned Nevada’s Luke Ferguson in 49-seconds in the third place bout to earn a wrestleback where the junior was pinned in 1:16 by Grinnell’s Dalton Kies. Chapman opened with a fall at the 1:02 mark in the quarterfinals and was pinned by top-seed Tyson Manzer of RolandStory in the semis. Dorow, the 126-pound NICL Conference champion one week ago, finished fourth. The third-seeded junior opened with a fall in 1:42 in the quarterfinals, but then lost by technical fall 19-4 in the semis to Grinnell’s Lane Milner and was beaten 11-6 for third by R-S’s Koby Hassebrock. The division was solid as Dorow, Milner, Hassebrock and champion Tanner Probasco of South Tama all started the day with 30-plus wins. The Storm’s Coby Willett at 120-pounds and heavyweight Ryne Fuller added thirds with fourths for Cody Richard at 152 and Kolten Rewoldt at 170. Caleb Engle at 182 finished fifth and Jayden Luse at 132 sixth. For the bronze, Willett was a 7-6 winner over Grinnell’s Ethan Kirby and Fuller flattened East Marshall’s Bryce Anderson in 1:18. South Hardin-BCLUW finished fifth in the six-team meet, scoring 122 points with East Marshall fourth at 124 and Nevada sixth at 121. South Tama captured the team title at 225 points and advanced nine matmen to districts, while crowning five champs. Roland-Story scored 205.5 points for second with six top two placewinners and third place Grinnell had seven qualifiers. The first and second placewinners from the Conrad sectional advance to a district meet Saturday in Parkersburg.
