discussion
with A-C

The Guthrie Center and AdairCasey school boards continued
discussions in a joint meeting
regarding possible future sharing options between the districts
April 13.
“They are nitty-gritty discussions from both boards perspectives and what each district is
thinking,” said Steve Smith, who
serves as Superintendent for both
Guthrie Center and Adair Casey
schools.
Smith said at this point AdairCasey is meeting and listening to
school boards at Guthrie Center,
West Central Valley and CAM Anita.
“We won’t make any decisions until we have listened to
all three boards, but certainly
want to make a decision within
the next few months about having a serious partner,” Smith said
for Adair-Casey.
Guthrie Center and Adair-Casey
districts currently share several
activities, but Smith said it would
be a different kind of relationship
- jumping in and sending more
kids - moving forward.
The police management
consulting firm tasked with
exploring whether Guthrie
Center should keep its police
department has retreated, saying there is no clear answer for
the city right now.
Des Moines-based Moulder
and Associates spent the last
month analyzing both the Guth-
rie Center Police Department
and the Guthrie County Sheriff’s
Department in an attempt to
recommend whether the city
should continue with its police
department or contract law enforcement services out to the
sheriff’s department.
But for the moment, the city
isn’t ready to move forward
with that decision, said William Moulder, the firm’s owner.
Several roadblocks kept the
firm from reaching a recommendation, Moulder said. One was
the schedule Guthrie Center police officers hold, which typically entails two- or three-day
shifts during which an officer
is on duty for 10 hours and on
call for 14, totaling periods of 48
or 72 hours before the officer is
completely off-duty. Historically, the city has kept that schedule with two officers, although
the department includes only
Chief Rod Pavelka at the moment, bolstered by part-time
officers.
“(The schedule) was not anything that my associate (Stephen
Niebur) and I had ever encountered,” Moulder said. “The work
schedule they’re using in Guthrie
Center — there’s not anything
wrong with it; we’ve just never
seen anything like it.”
In order to have an officer

Guthrie Center students grades
7-12 are taking part in Career
Day today, Wednesday, April 22.
Nine local businesses have
been invited to take part in the
event.
“What our kids need to know
out here in rural Iowa is what
kinds of jobs are here,” superintendent Steve Smith said. “They
really don’t know. Engineering they think there is nothing here,
but we’ll have those from the
county and from Rose Acres here.
Kids don’t always know, they think
those jobs are in the Metro.”
Smith said our shrinking in
rural Iowa will continue unless
kids are educated here.
“That’s our plan,” he said. “It
may not work. We’ll see what
comes out of it.”

creativity.”
She is excited to offer a full-service quilting shop — with quilting
services, fabric, notions and classes
— and is looking forward to sharing
tales and ideas with other quilters
once the store is open.
The store will offer pre-cut fabric
for busy quilters or those for arthritis, saving them time and effort and
allowing them to jump immediately
to quilting, Joanie said.
Seven J’s Creations also will also
work with several other people and
companies to offer hand-made candles and soaps.
But it won’t just be a quilting shop.
Jim builds custom furniture — often
re-purposing discarded wood and
metal bedframes and other pieces
— and refinishes furniture and creates metal items, including custom
plasma-cut signs. Implementing both
woodworking and welding, he has
created benches, shelves and more
in his shop at home for years.
“I like taking nothing and turning
it into something,” he said.
Jim added that one of the best indicators of a satisfied client is an immediate request for another item.
“It just feels good to have your
work appreciated,” he said.
Between the two of them, Jim and
Joanie have five kids, all with names
beginning with J. That sparked the
idea for a name incorporating “Seven
J’s” years ago, Jim said.
Their children are spread out: Joshua and Sabrina Grace live in Iowa

owned by Jim and Joanie Grace, will
open May 1 and will have a grand
opening soon after. Joanie will provide quilting services, while Jim will
offer custom-made furniture, signs
and other items.
Joanie used to think quilting was
too difficult, but when she was looking for a bench cushion pattern, she
stumbled on a quilting pattern and
thought, “I can do that.”
Now, she’s been quilting for several
years, and she enjoys the relaxing
nature of running the store’s longarm quilting machine.
“It’s almost like fabric is paint,”
she said. “You can take the same

Criminal charges are pending
against a 51-year-old Huxley man
who shot his friend in the face
while the two were turkey hunting on Saturday near Panora, according to a state conservation
law enforcement officer.
Here’s what the shooter, Brent
Richman, told the officer had
happened:
Richman and his friend Richard Groom, 51, of rural Guthrie
Center, found a spot in a timber
3 miles west of Panora to hunt
that morning. They planned to
sit next to each other under a
mulberry tree, drink beer and
wait for turkey.
Both had the necessary licenses
to shoot a turkey, which is tough
to hunt because of its keen eyesight.
Richman, however, forgot his
turkey call — a device that mimics turkey sounds that hunters
use to lure the birds closer. He
walked back to a pickup truck
to retrieve it, and rain started to
fall outside.
Richman waited for the rain
to quit, smoked a cigarette and
walked back to the spot where
he had left Groom.
Groom was gone.
Richman looked about 30 yards
into the timber and saw what he
thought was a turkey, pointed his
shotgun and pulled the trigger.
The blast sent four pellets into
Groom’s face.
Richman called 911 about 7:10
a.m., and an ambulance took
Groom away shortly before Jeremy King, a state Department of
Natural Resources officer, arrived
to investigate. Groom was later
treated for the gunshot wound
at a Des Moines hospital and
went home.

SPECIAL TO THE GUTHRIE CENTER TIMES
Governor Terry Branstad signs Senate File 426, which supports open discussion and rapid resolution when unanticipated
healthcare outcomes occur, April 14, 2015. Pictured with the governor from left to right are representatives from the Iowa
Medical Society and Iowa Association for Justice, who jointly drafted the legislation, including: Brad Lint, IAJ Executive
Director; Kate Strickler, IMS Staff Attorney; Dennis Tibben, IMS Director of State Government Affairs; Russ Hixson, IAJ
member; Brian Galligan, IAJ President-elect; Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds; Rep. Bobby Kaufmann; Jeff Maire, DO, FACOS,
FACS, IMS President; Clare Kelly, IMS Executive Vice President; Megan Bendixen, IMS Legislative & Policy Analyst;
Cheryl Peers, IMS Legislative Coordinator; Sandi Jacques, IMS Contract Lobbyist; and Lisa Davis- Cook, IAJ Director of
Government Affairs.
Gov. Branstad Signs Early Disclosure Legislation
Law Supports Open Discussion, Rapid Resolution
When Unanticipated Healthcare Outcomes Occur
An historic and unprecedented partnership between physicians and attorneys in Iowa
has led to a new law that both
sides say could greatly benefit
patients by reducing the need
for some lawsuits while improving patient safety.
Representatives from the
Iowa Medical Society and Iowa
Association for Justice joined
Governor Terry Branstad in his
formal office this afternoon for
the signing of Senate File 426.
Coined Candor, for Communication and Optimal Resolution, the innovative measure
jointly drafted by physicians
and trial attorneys facilitates
an open discussion between
a physician and patient in
the event of an unanticipated
healthcare outcome.
“This new law is an extraordinary accomplishment. It will
encourage transparency and
honesty, protect the rights
of patients who have been
harmed by avoidable events,
improve patient safety, reduce
litigation, facilitate healing for
both patient and physician,
and ultimately cut health care
costs,” said Jeff Maire, DO,
FACOS, FACS, IMS President.
“I thank the legislature and
Governor Branstad for their
support, and applaud the IMS
and IAJ for this tremendous
achievement.”
Brian Galligan, IAJ Presidentelect, said, “We believe this
new law will lead to more open
and honest communication
between patients and medical care providers. Patients
and their loved ones deserve
the whole truth about medical errors that result in injury or death, and health care
providers deserve a candid
forum to explain what happened and explore how errors
can be avoided in the future.
Ultimately, all Iowans benefit
when medical errors are confronted candidly and systematically.
“SF 426 is an important step
forward for patient safety. It
preserves injured patients’ constitutional rights and honors
the medical care providers’
oath. Governor Branstad is to
be commended for signing it
into law,” Galligan said.
DMACC welding lab earns industry accreditation
The Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) Center for Career and Professional
Development at Southridge Iowa
Institute of Welding has been
named an Accredited Testing
Facility for the American Welding Society (AWS).
“This accreditation is a great
honor,” said DMACC Welding
and AWS Certified Testing Instructor Bill Mann. “The accreditation solidifies DMACC’s as one
of the premier places to train
students for a career that is in
demand. This is the only place
in central Iowa where students
and welding professionals can
be tested for this universally
recognized welding standard.”
The accreditation means that
students who have completed
the DMACC welding program
or welders outside of DMACC
can be tested to become an

Vermeer Corporation Manager of Welding Engineering
and 2015 AWS President Dave
Landon said this industry certification validates skills and
increases employability.
“I am very excited to hear
that DMACC has become an
Accredited Testing Facility for
the AWS,” said Landon. “Manufacturers in Iowa and across
the country are seeking skilled
welders. Vermeer Corporation,
like many other manufacturers,
values this certification and the
validation and professionalism
it brings to welding careers.”
Landon said the U.S. Department of Labor predicts a need
for 375,000 more welders in the
U.S. by 2024 and 5,500 more in
Iowa.
The DMACC Southridge Iowa
Welding Institute is one of the
largest welding labs in the state
with 32 calibrated multi-process machines and 6 calibrated
high frequency machines. The
Iowa Welding Institute opened
in August of 2013.
“This is a great thing for
DMACC students. Passing this
test helps a student start their
welding career,” said Mann.
“This certification can often
lead to higher paying jobs.”
Mann said once students pass
the AWS test their name goes
into a data base that employers can use for finding skilled
workers.
The testing facility was established through the Iowa Advanced Manufacturing Trade
Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career
Training grant funded by the
U.S. Department of Labor.
In recognition of National
Volunteer Week (April 12-18),
established by the Points of Light
Foundation in 1974, the American Cancer Society applauds its
approximately 2.5 million volunteers who continue to pour
their passion into finishing the
fight against cancer.
“Our volunteers are the heart
and soul of the American Cancer
Society,” said Kim Durst, Community Manager. “Our volunteers inspire us, showing us each
and every day how one person
can make a difference in the
fight against cancer.”
“A life is not important except
in the impact it has on other
lives,” said Jackie Robinson. This
is a quote that Julie Gilge, Relay For Life Co-Chair/Volunteer, holds close to her heart.
“I Relay for family and friends
who have heard those words
‘you have cancer’ and for my
grandkids to never hear those
words,” said Gilge.
“Our volunteers are the VERY
best! They are showing us all
how much our mission means
to them,” added Durst. “Everyone who volunteers with Relay
For Life of Guthrie County is
with us because they have been
personally touched by cancer,
and want to do all they can to
help make a difference in the
lives of those diagnosed and
fighting cancer and to honor
their loved ones they have lost.

“For many volunteers, their
motivations are personal and
their willingness to give of
themselves is inspirational,”
said Durst. “There are no words
that can possibly express our
gratitude for all they do. They
selflessly give their time and talents to make sure we end this
disease. Everything the American Cancer Society is doing to
end cancer is possible because
of their dedication.”

Habitat Volunteers Step Up, Seek Homeowners to Assist
All geared up and ready to
go. That sums up the volunteer experience so far this first
year as Heart of Iowa Habitat
for Humanity takes hold in
Guthrie County.
Volunteers answered the call
in February when it was announced the Christian housing ministry was expanding to
provide housing assistance to
low-income residents of Guthrie County. Since that time
volunteers have been organizing themselves to begin
serving families this summer.
Guthrie County board of
directors members include
Lynn Zajicek of Panora, Patty
Stanton of Yale, Ron Carper of
Menlo, plus Kris Langgaard,
Randy Hansen and Dennis
Way of Guthrie Center. Joining the Heart of Iowa affiliate board are Steve Stanton of
Yale along with Bev Mills and
Pastor Denis James of Guthrie Center. Additional main
operating committees have
also been filled.
With volunteers and committees in place, efforts have
turned to finding families to
assist through the Helping
Hands home repair program.
Existing homeowners with
external home repair needs
such as roofing, siding, paint,
windows, doors, and landscaping repair are encouraged to
contact Habitat for Humanity at 515-432-1168 or 515-386-
3093 for additional information on the Helping Hands
program, including the application process. Information is also available from local
churches and on the Habitat
website: www.heartofiowahabitat.org.
Helping Hands partner
families are income-qualified, work alongside volunteers, if able, and repay the
cost of materials used through
a five-year no-interest loan.
Typical monthly payments
are between $50 and $100,
depending on project size.
Volunteered labor is always
free of charge. Grant opportunities may be available to
elderly homeowners through
Region XII Council of Governments or USDA Rural Development.
With a significant number
of volunteers stepping up to
launch Habitat for Humanity
in Guthrie County, the only
need now is for houses to repair. Local volunteers hope to
announce their first projects
very soon.
Habitat for Humanity is an
international Christian housing ministry dedicated to the
belief that all should have the
opportunity for safe, decent
and affordable housing. Heart
of Iowa Habitat for Humanity first organized in 1995 and
today serves Boone, Greene
and Guthrie Counties.
Helping Hands is a community betterment program using
volunteer labor to substantially
reduce the cost of home repairs for qualified homeowner
families. There is no charge for
volunteer labor and no profit is
added. The homeowner pays
only for purchased materials,
services and project support
costs through a no interest loan.

Carol Bernita
Nelson
Christensen
Stuart with family by her side.
Carol attended school in
Menlo, IA. On February 7,
1944, she married Virgil Jay
Christensen. After Virgil’s
death in 2012, the family discovered the two newlyweds
kept their marriage a secret
at first from their families.
After spending some time in
California while Virgil served
his country in the Navy during World War II, the couple
farmed in the Menlo and
Casey area the rest of their
lives. Virgil and Carol were
blessed with one son, Gerald.
When grandchildren came
along, Carol enjoyed having
them sleep over, play dress
up with them, feed them her
delicious homemade noodles and heavenly angel food
cakes. She also enjoyed being
outside caring for her chickens and numerous family
dogs.
Carol was dedicated to her
role as a “farmer’s wife” and
you very seldom saw Carol
without Virgil during their 68
years of marriage. It is true
to say that when Virgil died,
so did Carol mentally, but her
body was strong and didn’t
give up until after a lengthy
battle with Alzheimer’s.
Carol was preceded in
death by her husband, parents, one brother, Donald
and a sister, Virginia Caltrider. She leaves to cherish
her memory her son Gerald
and his wife Sheryl of Stuart; grandchildren: Michael
Christensen (Lori), Jodi Sackett (Dean) of Stuart, Daniel
Christensen (Alicia) of Menlo and Elli Mason (Josh) of
Diamond, MO and 13 greatgrandchildren. Carol is also
survived by her brother William (Marlene) Nelson of
Aurora, CO and several nieces and nephews.

Forty local residents attend the legislative coffee at the Panora Telco Solutions Center
Saturday.
Area legislators report on 2015 session
By SUSAN THOMPSON
Special to Guthrie Center Times
Panora
The stalemate in the Iowa
Legislature over school funding was the first topic Saturday
morning at a legislative update
held at the Panora Telco Solutions Center in Panora.
Sen. Jake Chapman of Adel
told the 40 local residents in attendance the Iowa Legislature is
supposed to wrap up business
around May 1. “I do believe in
miracles, but that would be a
substantial miracle if it happened this year,” he said.
Chapman said he believes
the Iowa House of Representatives did the right thing when
they passed a bill that includes
a 1.25 percent increase in school
funding. “We spend 55 percent
of our state budget on schools.
The House bill would provide
another $100 million for Iowa
schools. It’s unfortunate the
dialogue from some people
makes it sound like this bill
would cut state spending for
schools,” he said.
A Senate proposal on school
funding began with a 4 percent
increase, which has since been
reduced to 2.65 percent. But
that’s still $50 million more than
the House proposal. “I’m a father of five, and education is
important to me,” Chapman
said. “But I’m not willing to
follow the Washington, D.C.,
style of government and run
up credit card debts, spending
more money than the state is
taking in.”
Rep. Clel Baudler of Greenfield expressed disappointment in school districts that
brought children to the State
Capitol to protest the House bill.
“They give them signs and have
them march around. They aren’t
teaching them anything, except
how to protest when they don’t
get what they want,” he said.
Iowa’s budget must be developed based on projected
revenues developed by the
state’s three-person Revenue
Estimating Conference. At its
March 19 meeting, the group
estimated $180 million in new
money for next year.
“The House has already committed $100 million of that to
Rep Clel Baudler (left) and Senator Jake Chapman (right)
discuss the stalemate in the Iowa Legislature over school
funding Saturday morning at a legislative update held at
the Panora Telco Solutions Center in Panora.
schools, which leaves just $80
million for social services, prisons, agriculture and more,”
Baudler said. “To get the House
to agree to a higher increase in
school funding, we will demand
changes in the state’s collective
bargaining agreement.”
Baudler talked about a House
Government Oversight Committee public hearing held earlier in
the week where a series on the
Des Moines Register took center stage. The series dealt with
the state’s civil forfeiture laws,
under which law enforcement
agencies can seize property if it
can be shown the property was
likely used to commit a crime
or furnished in exchange for
a crime.
Baudler, who is a former
state trooper, said the Register series was “trying to create a
huge problem that doesn’t exist. I was sad and mad about
the way law enforcement was
portrayed. Now there is talk of
trying to change the law when
there is no need.”
On another topic, Baudler
said the House passed a bill
that will make some changes
to the Iowa Code that allows
Rural Improvement Zone (RIZ)
districts to be created. Guthrie
County has two RIZ districts,
one at Lake Panorama and one
at Diamondhead Lake.
Baudler said it’s a “good bill”
and he doesn’t expect any attempts to amend it when introduced in the Senate. John Rutledge, Lake Panorama Association general manager, thanked
Bayard woman arrested
after fight in Guthrie Center
A Bayard woman is facing
several charges after authorities were called to a fight at
a residence in Guthrie Center last Tuesday. According
to the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office, a minor inside a
residence in the 600 block of
North 5th Street called to report the fight around 5 p.m.
Tuesday. Sheriff Marty Arganbright and Deputy Jesse Swensen initially responded to
the call and had to physically
restrain the suspect. During
the struggle, both Arganbright
and Swensen report receiving minor injuries. The suspect, 31 year-old April Lynn
Hofbauer is charged with Interference with Official Acts
Causing Injury, an aggravated misdemeanor, along with
a Class ‘D’ Felony charge of
Child Endangerment. She remains in the Guthrie County
Jail and is being held on $7,000
bond. The Guthrie Center Police Department also assisted
at the scene.
Baudler and Chapman for their
support of the proposed RIZ
legislation. “It’s a complicated
issue, and we appreciate your
hard work,” he said.
The two legislators were asked
if they anticipate any changes
to the current “master matrix”
law. County boards of supervisors use the matrix when a livestock confinement facility that
would house more than 2,500
animals applies for a permit to
locate within its county.
Chapman said those who
want a change in the matrix
say they are doing so because
they want more local control.
“But it’s clear the desire for more
local control is actually a desire
to stop livestock confinement
facilities,” he said.
“We need to recognize we
are an agriculture state. If we
lose agriculture, the state’s budget will be hurt even more and
property taxes will go higher.
I’ve talked with my colleagues
in the Senate and there is no desire to make a legislative change
to the matrix,” Chapman said.
“The matrix is a way to have
everyone go through the same
process to determine the best
place to site these facilities.”
Baudler said there also is no
movement in the Iowa House
on this issue. “I would oppose
giving counties more authority
than what the matrix already
allows,” he said. “We need to
keep young people in rural Iowa,
and livestock production is one
thing that helps make that possible.”

The meeting of the Montheith
Community Club was held on
Tuesday, March 10, 2015 at the
Homestead. The meeting was
called to order by president Vanessa Branson. In the absence of
secretary Jan Sheley, Judy Riley
kept the minutes of the meeting
and took roll call, asking those
present to respond to roll call by
answering “do you make a point
of wearing green on St. Patrick’s
Day”? There were six members
present and three guests.
The upcoming Monteith Reunion, scheduled for June 14 at
Nations Bridge, was discussed.
Vanessa asked if anyone has pictures of Monteith to share for reunion to bring to the next meeting.
Joanne Zeiser discussed the announcements for the radio stations. She will make the contacts.
Also, posters should be done by
May 1. Monteith City Council suggested doing an auction at the
reunion to help offset the cost of
the rental fee for the part. Dalton
Hoover volunteered to donate
one of his cedar boxes for the
auction. Suggestion was made
by Vanessa to also possibly have
a pie auction. Several members
volunteered to make pies.
Vanessa said she would bring

Board of Supervisors
Guthrie County
Regular Session
March 31, 2015
The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors
met in regular session with the following members present: Mike Dickson, Everett Grasty,
Clifford Carney and Tom Rutledge. The meeting began at 9:00AM.
Motion Grasty seconded Carney to approve the agenda. All ayes.
Scott Smith, Loss Control Representative
with IMWCA, commended the board for getting people home safe but suggested that the
County consider implementing pre-placement
physicals/functional capacity examines. The
physical would be at the employer’s expense
and if needed reasonable accommodations
may have to be made for the individual. Finding a provider that offers functional capacity
examines may be more difficult using an occupational therapist might be an option. Glenda
Edwards, Becky Benton and Josh Sebern were
also present.
Minutes for 03/24/15 and 03/26/15 were
reviewed and approved.
Motion Carney seconded Grasty to approve the IGHCP documents: MSP addendum,
SBC employer form, Wellmark rate sheet and
consulting agreement. All ayes.
Motion Carney seconded Dickson to adjourn at 10:12AM. All ayes.

Regular Session
APRIL 2, 2015
met in regular session with the following members present: Jerome Caraher, Mike Dickson,
Everett Grasty, Clifford Carney and Tom Rutledge. The meeting began at 9:00AM.
Bill Heckroth, Lucas Beenken and Kristi
Harshbarger from ISAC were present to talk
about HF 615 which relates to the establishment, operation, dissolution or extension of
rural improvement zones (RIZ). Heckroth told
the board only four counties have RIZs with
Guthrie County having two. Two pieces of legislation were introduced. One was introduced
by Ken Rozenboom who worked with ISAC and
the other by Clel Baudler who worked with the
RIZs. The two bills were combined. Key items
mentioned by Heckroth were changing the
shall to may for the initial approval of a RIZ,
on request for extensions the supervisors shall
grant the 20 year extension if the engineer’s
report finds the area is in need of improvements, revenue sharing depending on the age
of the RIZ, and water quality has been added
to the definition of improvements. If approved
this legislation would null and void all previous agreements. Dickson commented that the
legislation was setting the County up for a life
long agreement because of the shall in the language for the extension. Those in favor or HF
615 were Grasty, Carney and Rutledge those
opposed were Caraher and Dickson.
Motion Dickson seconded Carney to adjourn at 9:43AM. All ayes.

with the board.
Motion Grasty seconded Caraher to adopt
the 2016 Guthrie County road construction five
year plan as presented. All ayes.
Sebern then reviewed the IDOT budget
telling the board that it differs from the County
budget only because of the increase of approximately $500,000 in revenue from increased
gas taxes and the related increased expenses
in bridges and culverts and roads.
Motion Carney seconded Grasty to adopt
the FY15-16 IDOT road budget as proposed.
All ayes.

projects.
Minutes for 3/31/15 and 4/02/15 and

fail to comply with the foregoing order; the

Philip Littler gave an overview of the sanitary district’s project for which the bonds are
being sold by the County on behalf of the sanitary district. One new lift station is being put
in that will eliminate two old ones. The new
one will be providing service to 110 homes.
Carney asked how it would be paying for the
bonds, rates were raised 20% and the balance
is being paid through property tax assessments. Also the new system will eliminate a
lot of the maintenance costs. Carol O’Connor
and Stephen Patterson were also present.

Denise Ballard gave a review of the IGHCP
renewal.

documentation purposes. The board asked
that he provide an inventory list and to sketch a
drawing to show where the gates were placed.
Kipp also asked about the water system and

Northey: California
water woes could

Creations and Quilting when the store opens May 1.

live in Guthrie Center, working
as certified nursing assistants.
The Graces are also expecting
two more grandchildren.
The couple lives south of Guthrie Center.
“The community support is
amazing,” Joanie said. “We’re
thankful we’re in this community.”
Jim retired from the U.S. Postal
Service two years ago and now
works at Orscheln Farm and
Home. Joanie travels often for
her work as a nurse. Balancing
the store with their other work
will be an interesting challenge,
they said.
The couple is renting the State
Street storefront and began putting the store together in March.
They hope to eventually to have
the store open Tuesday through
Saturday, although it might be
open mainly by appointment
at first.
“We’ve been told we have some
pretty good ideas, so we’re going
to run with it,” Jim said.
A long-arm quilting machine will keep busy at Seven J’s Custom Creations and Quilting,
which opens May 1.

Professionals will attend the
Career Day from the Guthrie
County Hospital, The New
Homestead and Rose Acres.
They have lumped County
Supervisors to talk to the students about jobs at the County
and on the Government side of
the courthouse. Barry Monahan, from Guthrie County State
Bank, will discuss banking and
financing with the students.
Students will be divided into
nine groups of 20 or 30 and meet
with professionals for 15-minute sessions.
“Every kid will have to listen to everyone’s story,” Smith
said. “Maybe we won’t like it
that way and maybe we’ll want
to get more specific in years to
come. I know they can’t cover
everything.”
When Bill Northey reads
about California’s historic
water-shortage problems he
thinks of cows.
Not cows for California.
But cows for Iowa’s dairy
industry.
Northey, Iowa’s secretary
of agriculture, tells the Guthrie County Vedette, that he’s
been having conversations
with Iowa ag businesspeople
about possible ways the Hawkeye State could take advantage of the increasingly desperate water problem facing
California, one of the nation’s
biggest agricultural regions.
Are there opportunities
for Iowa?
“You know, I think there
might be,” Northey said. “Certainly there have been California farmers, with the dairy
industry especially, they’ve
been so big and successful in
California, that have either
had growth move out in the
past — maybe it wasn’t around
drought — but certainly could
be around drought now and
around feed production for
those dairies. I think we certainly could bring some dairies here from California because of those challenges.”
California is in its fourth
year of severe drought. Projections aren’t great either, leading to water-use restrictions
focused mainly in the cities.
According to The Los Angeles Times, the majority of
California is experiencing extreme to exceptional drought,
according to the U.S. Drought
Monitor, and the state’s condition isn’t expected to improve
in the near future.
The Drought Monitor, which
collects data from 50 different
weather indicators, has shown
an increasingly red California since 2011, the last time
the drought map was clear,

The Times reports.
In the interview with The
Guthrie County Vedette,
Northey said
t hat when
Ca l i for n ia
wa s ment ioned, h is
m i nd went
to dairy right
away. But the
potentia l
doesn’t stop Secretary
there, he said. Bill Northey
“I c a n’t
help but believe there could be some
crops as well,” Northey said.
Almonds and cotton and “a
large amount” of wine grapes
wouldn’t be in Iowa’s wheelhouse, Northey said.
But he thinks there will be
crop opportunities stemming
from drought in California
and elsewhere.
Northey said the California
question has been starting to
come up in Iowa ag circles.
“I’ve had just a few conversations,” Northey said. “I think
we’ll have more.”
Northey said he expects
to take a trip to California to
scout potential for Iowa agriculture. He sees the outreach
being with dairymen.
“I’d certainly be interested
in ratcheting that effort up,”
Northey said.
Northey said dairy farms in
California have expanded to
Iowa in the past. With water
rights being more valuable
in California, a farm may be
able to sell those to a city and
move its dairy operations to
Iowa.
“I think it’s a matter of tone,”
Northey said. “I think you’re
not about trying to profit off
of somebody else’s problem.
What you’re trying to do is
make sure that everyone has a
chance to decide on their own
individual business where the
right place to be is and what
they want to do.”

couldn’t have dinner and
a glass of wine; you couldn’t
get away.”
Learning of the city’s police schedule put the firm “up
against a brick wall,” Moulder
said.
He added that ultimately,
it was impossible to make a
recommendation for city- or
county-run law enforcement
for Guthrie Center because
the city has not indicated how
many officers it is willing to
budget for down the road if it
continues seeking to provide
24/7 service.
The report noted that the
sheriff’s office believes it would
need three additional deputies
to provide service to Guthrie
Center, and that there is no
research indicating how many
officers the city will support.
“What we finally concluded was … the city of Guthrie
Center didn’t really need us
to give them recommendations, at least not at this stage,”
Moulder said. “They need to
make a decision on whatever
law enforcement services they
want to have, and then look
at their options.
“It’s a political decision, and
it will cost money.”
A survey was sent out to
Guthrie Center residents with
their utility bills, and responses are still being evaluated,
Moulder said. So far, they
tend to show that residents
are satisfied with the service
they receive now and want to
continue having a separate
city police department.
“There are frictions between
the police, city administration,
and the mayor that adversely
affect any resolution,” Moulder
and Associates’ report states.
“Those seem to be born of
good intentions but broken
communication.”
The report continues, “Our
conclusions at this point are
that to mitigate the turnover,
additional officers are needed.
To contract with the sheriff
would increase the cost as
well. The internal frictions
will continue to degrade any
solutions unless addressed.”
The city initially planned
to pay the firm $5,000 for
its investigation. However,
Moulder and Associates noted in its report that it would
not charge the city because
it had not been able to reach
a recommendation.
“There is a lack of a clear
understanding between the
concerned parties — the
mayor, council, city, sheriff,
Board of Supervisors, police
officers — of how much the
city wants and is willing to
pay for,” Moulder said.
He added that he enjoyed
working with the committee
comprising city and county
officials.
“I enjoyed the people and
the commitment of the sheriff’s office and the police chief
to provide services,” he said.
“They should take a great deal
of satisfaction in that. I just
didn’t know how to get them
from where they are to where
they’re trying to go.”

FROM Page 1A
“He’s lucky his friend is a
terrible shot,” King said. “A
tree between them took the
brunt of the shot.”
Here’s what King has deduced about the incident:
The “turkey head” Richman claims he saw could
have been a red-and-white
Budweiser can that Groom
apparently drank from.
King found two empty cans
near where Groom was shot.
He found another half-full
Miller Light can stuck in the
mulberry tree from which
Richman had shot.
“It’s not illegal to hunt
drunk,” King bemoaned.
“Some of these people don’t
think a gun can go ‘boom’
unless you have a buzz going.”
“He knew someone was
out there,” King said of Richman, “but he wasn’t able to
see what he was shooting at.
... And they were experienced
hunters.”
King expects to file at least
one criminal charge against
Richman this week, but he
declined to specify what
charge Richman might face.

Danker signs with Northern Illinois University
Guthrie Center senior is school’s first
to sign with D-I volleyball program
By ASHLEY SCHABLE
GUTHRIE CENTER
Guthrie Center libero and defensive specialist Sydney Danker
has committed to play volleyball
at Northern Illinois University
beginning in the fall of 2015.
The 5-foot-5 Danker, a twotime first team All-Stater, led
Guthrie Center with a striking
469 digs averaging 7.22 per set
in her senior campaign. She also
led the Tigers at the service line
with a blistering .943 (265 for
281) efficiency and a team-best
38 ace serves. She had 19 kills
and 32 assists.
The three-time All-District
and West Central All-Conference first team performer also
considered Division II Lindenwood University in St. Charles,
Missouri and Division III Central
College in Pella.
“I’ve always wanted to play
Division I volleyball so it’s fun
to be able to do that,” Danker
said. “I’ll have to work hard.”
Danker, daughter of Shawn
and Jennifer Danker, becomes
the first Guthrie Center prep to
sign with a Division I volleyball
program. She attended summer
camp at the college in DeKalb,
Illinois and returned for a visit.
“I talked to their coaches and
went on a visit and liked what we
saw, and then they offered me a
spot,” Danker said. “I didn’t know
if I wanted a smaller school or a
bigger school. A smaller school
I thought maybe I’d play right
away or a bigger I would work
my way up.”
Danker, who leaves Guthrie
Center as the school record holder in most career digs (1,640),
most digs in season (507), most
digs in a game (42), most career aces (137), said she knows
she has some work to do before
joining the Huskies program this
summer.
“Lots of lifting,” she said. “I
need to get stronger.”
She will play a libero and defensive specialist for the Huskies
and says she looks forward to
the pace of the college game.
“It’s so much faster,” she said.
Danker plays USA Club Volleyball for Iowa Power Volleyball
Alliance (IPVA) and coach Joe
Morton in Ankeny. The team
has qualified for the National
tournament in July. She has also
played for Central Iowa Select
and coach Emilio Mendoza and

Competing on the gridiron

collegiate level has long been
a mission for Cale Crowder.
The Guthrie Center High
School senior achieved that goal
on Saturday, signing letters of
intent with the Waldorf College
football and baseball teams.
“It’s always been a dream of
mine,” Crowder said. “I’m really
excited to have the opportunity
to play at the next level.”
Crowder, a 6-foot-1, 220-pound
fullback, rushed for 921 yards
and 21 touchdowns during the
2014 season. He helped Guthrie
Center to a 7-3 record and its
second consecutive trip to the
state playoffs.
“From the football standpoint,
he brings us the true fullback
position,” Waldorf football coach
Kent Anderson said.
According to Anderson, the
Warriors have utilized large
tailbacks as fullbacks during
his first three seasons in Forest City. Crowder, who averaged
5.8 yards a carry, is expected to

Valley girls post shutout over Riverside
The Nodaway Valley/West Central Valley/Adair-Casey varsity
girls soccer team defeated Oakland Riverside 9-0 at home on
Monday.
Against the Bulldogs, the Valley
Girls scored six of their goals in
the first half and the remaining
three in the second. Madi Foster punched one in seven minutes into the period, teammate
Alicia Urquhart added another
five minutes later, Josi Ocheltree
and Logan Jensen each found
the back of the net shortly after
and Foster scored her second
and third goals with 4:20 and :20
left on the first-half play clock.
In the second half, Foster tallied her fourth goal of the match
after teammate Christina Boss
had scored and before Emily
O’Brien made it 9-0. With just
over 16 minutes left to play in
the contest, NV/WCV/A-C played
solid defense to keep Oakland
Riverside off the scoreboard. The
Valley Girls tallied 30 total shots
compared to the Bulldogs’ one.
Goalkeeper Hannah Link made
one save for the Valley Girls. Responsible for the assists throughout the contest were Boss (3),
Urquhart, Abby Miller, Carly
Renslow and Hailey Gross.
“It was a very windy night and
the girls did a great job of playing
with a strong crosswind,” said
NV/WCV/A-C head coach Michael Krawczyk. “This was a good
team win as we had six different
girls score which shows how the
girls work together as a team. We
passed the ball well and they
did a great job on getting the
ball out wide and crossing it.”
“The defense did another
great job of stopping any attacks
[Riverside] made,” he continued. “Our defensive mids did
a great job helping to control
the midfield and set up the offense. The coaches are proud of
the girls on their play tonight.”
The Valley Girls are now 4-1
this season and play in Greenfield at Treynor (3-2)on Tuesday
afternoon.

Changes in cross country coming
Three significant changes recommended by the Cross Country
Advisory Committee and recently
approved by the IHSAA Board of
Control and IGHSAU Board of
Directors will go into effect for
the 2015 cross country season.
1. The committee has increased the number of state meet
individual qualifiers. If an individual finishes in the top 15 at
one of the five state qualifying
meet sites, he/she will become
a state meet qualifier. This is an
increase from the top 10 finishers as in past years.
2. In the past, prior to the
fourth Monday in September,
boys’ sub-varsity races were allowed to be shortened to 2 miles.
With the girls now running 5000
meters, a new policy has been
implemented for both genders.
The policy now reads, “For the
first four weeks of competition,
sub-varsity races may be shortened to 4000 meters; however, a
common finish line is required
for all sub-varsity and varsity
races. Starting the Monday of
the fifth week of competition,
all competitors must run 5000
meters.” Again, this policy gives
host schools the option of run-
ning a shorter race at the subvarsity level; it’s not mandatory.
The policy allowing meet managers to shorten races in case
of inclement weather has not
changed.
3. The last change approved is
in regards to practicing on the
state qualifying meet courses.
The new policy reads, “Once the
state qualifying meet team assignments have been posted,
the state qualifying meet site is
closed. No team or individual is
permitted to practice or be on
the state qualifying meet course
except for a school that uses the
course for its regular practice
and any school competing in a
regular season meet held there
after the release of the team assignments until 12:00 Noon on
the day of the state qualifying
meet. Violation of this rule will
result in the school not being
allowed to compete in the state
qualifying meet.”
These changes will be addressed in the online rules meeting and cross country manual
posted prior to the first day of
practice, so everyone will be reminded of these changes as the
start of the season get closer.
solidify the position.
“He gives us a dimension
that we like,” Anderson said.
“He can catch the ball and he
can do a lot of things with the
ball, so we’re really excited
about him. Plus, he’s physical.”
Crowder was a first-team
all-district selection as a senior. He caught nine passes
for 72 yards during Guthrie
Center’s first year season of
eight-man football. Starting
at linebacker for the Tigers,
Crowder recorded a team-high
89.5 tackles. He intercepted
three passes and returned one
for a 65-yard TD. Crowder also
recovered two fumbles.
A four-year varsity starter
for Guthrie Center’s football
team, Crowder earned alldistrict honorable mention
recognition as a sophomore
and was named to the alldistrict second team the following year.
Crowder is a National Honor
Society member and excels
on and off the field.
“What really excites us as
well is that he’s a great student, he’s an Iowa kid and he’s
a hard worker,” Anderson said.
During high school, Crowder
was a four-sport athlete. He
was active in wrestling and
was a two-time place winner
at 220 pounds in the Class 1A
state tournament.
“You can just see that by his
wrestling, football and baseball careers, he’s dedicated to
his crafts,” Anderson said. “We
know he’ll be fully committed to football and baseball
as well. He’s a real find for us
and we’re thrilled.”
This summer, Crowder enters his fifth season as a starter
on his high school baseball
team. He led the Tigers with
a .371 batting average, .542
on-base percentage and a
.529 slugging percentage as
a junior.
“He’s a big, strong kid that
can swing it,” Waldorf baseball
coach Joe Tautges said. “We’re
excited about having him in
the program for four years.”
Crowder cranked 26 total
hits and finished with 16 RBIs
in 2014. He hit one home run
while providing six doubles
and a triple. Crowder scored
17 runs and collected 13 stolen
bases in 14 attempts.
Throughout Crowder’s career, he’s served as a pitcher,
first baseman and outfielder.

record on the mound last season and struck out 92 batters.
“We’re really excited about

Last year, Crowder recorded
a 2.32 earn run average and

honors for the second straight
year following all-conference
honorable mention recognition as a sophomore.
Crowder is the son of Gus
and Angie Crowder. He plans
to pursue a criminal justice
degree at Waldorf. The dualsport athlete said he chose the
college due to its academic
offerings and the warm welcome he received from the
coaching staffs.
“I really like the coaches and
the criminal justice program
is really awesome,” Crowder
said.
The opportunity to play
both sports also made it an
easy decision.
“They’re my two favorite
sports and I get to play them
both in college, so it’s like a
dream,” Crowder said.
Tautges, a first-year head
coach, said Crowder fits the
culture he wants in his program. He expects him to continue to excel for both Warrior teams.
“I know he’s got a good head
on his shoulders,” Tautges said.

GCHS senior
GCHS Senior
Guthrie Center High School
students have been allowed to
take Des Moines Area Community College online classes
the last couple years, but this
year they have been able to
choose from a wider variety
of classes. Many students find
it very helpful because they
can take the class and earn
college credit without having
to pay for it.
Hannah Grizzle, a senior at
GCHS, said, “I took Intro to
Criminal Justice and Developmental Psychology.” She
likes taking the classes because you get to work at your
own pace and on your own
time. “I took Intro to Criminal
Justice as well,” TJ Wickland
said. He likes that they work
on their schedule.
Grizzle said, “It can be hard
to communicate with the instructor though because it can
sometimes take them a couple
of days to get back to you.”
Wickland, on the other
hand, said, “I found it easy
to communicate with my
teacher. I just emailed them
when I had a question about
things.”
There are drawbacks to the
online classes though. “You
can’t get as much help as you
may need in the class, and
procrastination can hurt you
too,” Wickland said.
Other classes that students
are taking are Sports Nutrition, Intro to Business, and
Police in Society just to name
a few. Most students enjoy the
classes provided, and they feel
as if there is a good selection
to pick from.
Guthrie Center Schools
will be taking the 6-traits
writing assessment Friday,
April 10th, coordinated by
Ms. Judy Bauler, curriculum
coordinator, who said, “The
main purpose behind doing
the 6-traits assessment, is to
help show the administration
more of an authentic background on where the school
system is and what it needs
to do to make it better.”
Also she said, “It is a good
component to show student
ability and evaluate where
to put emphasis on the following year’s curriculum.”
She could not tell the actual
writing prompts that they
will be using this year since
she doesn’t want students
to know them in advance.
Then she said, “It is not
required by the state, technically, but the state makes
us do a certain amount of
assessments to stay up to
date on where we need to
work on things and make
improvements.”
In a recent teachers’ inservice, Bauler administered
the six traits assessment to
the faculty. Following the assessments, they evaluated
the writings based on the rubrics used for students. When
asked about if the teachers’
inservice was at all a beneficial tool as to how they
would do the assessment,
Ms. Bauler answered by saying she doesn’t think that it
will change the way they administer it, but it made teachers aware of how every student is different about how
they prepare themselves for
tests, or for things like these.

Students attend FCCLA state convention
By Hannah Zoe Langgaard
GCHS Junior
From March 29 - 31, five selected students from FCCLA
got to go to the FCCLA State
Convention in Des Moines, IA.
The students who got to go
were CJ Melton, Zoie Shook,
Haley Sheeder, Anita Alvarez,
Cassidy Simmons with their
teacher Mrs. Cathy Lange.
The reason they went was
because the students had pro-
grams to do, and they had go
get updated on State FCCLA.
They all mentioned that they
had a really good time, and
learned a lot of new stuff. Highlights were opening ceremony,
STAR events, award ceremony,
the dance and eating a lot of
food.
Mrs. Lange mentioned that
all conventions are unique in
their own way; none of them
are the same.
For awards,Cassidy Sim-
mons won silver in job interview while Anita Alvarez and
CJ Melton won silver in chapter service. Haley Sheeder, CJ
Melton and Cassidy Simmons
got a Certificate of Achievement in Financial Fitness.
For CJ Melton, it was her first
time to go, and if she got the
chance she would go next year
too. She learned a lot about
FCCLA that not a lot of people
may not know.She discovered
that FCCLA is a lot more than
STAR events, and Peer Education Group. CJ Melton says the
best thing about state FCCLA is
all the people you get to meet.
For Cassidy Simmons, she
learned that FCCLA is totally
different than FFA. If she had
the chance to go to the FCCLA
Convention again she would
definitely go.
Cassidy says that the most
memorable moment was
spending time with the other girls.

assessments that are aligned
with the core curriculum. It
is an untimed assessment
measuring growth in reading, math, science, and language arts. The state of Iowa
requires multiple assessments
and their results reported back
to the state. Students are only
required to credential in two
out of three of the assessments
throughout the year.
Mr. Smith said, “It is a logical assessment to take that
hits our core curriculum.”
Mr. Ruth said, “I like it because it is based off of our
curriculum, and it’s not your
typical test. If you miss a question, the test levels and it will
give you an easier question
and then gradually get more
difficult.”

This year’s prom theme is
“Frozen in Time“ This year’s
prom is different because the
juniors no longer have study
hall to prepare and decorate
for prom.
Each year the juniors try to
outdo the previous class.
The juniors started already in
December planning for prom
and buying decorations.
It’s always Mrs. Nielsen who
is the head of the planning and
arranging, and Mr. Bolton and
Mr. Davis who are the adults
helping with the planning.
It’s always very stressful to
plan prom but also a lot of fun.
Some of the juniors are already helping making decorations for prom and helping
plan what has to be done. And
on the 24 of April, the whole
junior class gets out of their
classes to help decorate the
commons area, the junior high
gym, and the high school gym
where the grand march is going to be held.
The junior class has spent
approximately $3,000 on prom
this year.
Mrs. Nielsen says that everything is going according to plan
and that everything is bought.
So now the students just have
to get ready for the big day.

A look at preventing illness in schools
By Ashley Young
GCHS sophomnore
According to the school
nurse at Guthrie Center high
school and elementary, Mrs.
Paige Norgart, this time of
year is “high sickness.” “Lately
we have seen approximately
12 students absent from the
elementary a day due to illness. In the high school those
numbers seem to be slightly

lower on a daily basis,” said
Norgart. The main things that
have been going around are
the flu, stomach bugs and
strep throat.
What should be done to prevent the school illness going
around? “The most common
ways would be is hand hygiene,
covering coughs and sneezes,
disinfecting areas, and most of
all staying home if symptoms
present to prevent them from
spreading. The actions parents and teens should take is
first of all keep the child home
until they have gone 24 hours
fever and vomit free. This is
the best thing to prevent it
from spreading. If the child
is not improving with current
treatment, a doctor visit may
be recommended. The best
thing for sick students is to
rest and get fluids, Mrs. Paige
Norgart said.

On April 2, the Guthrie Center FCCLA had their own Easter Egg Hunt. It involved 35
members from FCCLA, and
they went outside and hunted
for 93 little eggs with numbers inside. They had to match
up the numbers to prizes inside in Mrs. Lange’s Room.
The prizes ranged from juice
pouches and candy bars.
Mrs. Lange said that FCCLA has had Easter Egg
Hunts in the past but not in
recent years. The officers of
FCCLA came up with the idea
to have a little bit of fun for
the members. It was a good
way to have a blast in the nice
weather and to appreciate FCCLA. The FCCLA would like
to keep this Easter Egg hunt
around for years to come. Mrs.
Lange thought it went really
well and is looking forward
to doing it next year.

White-nose syndrome confirmed in Iowa;
more than half of all states now affected
Department of Natural Resources
White-nose syndrome has
been confirmed in Iowa, making it the 26th state to confirm
the disease of hibernating bats
that has killed more than 5.7 million bats since 2006.
Three bats collected in Des
Moines County were confirmed
to have white-nose syndrome
(WNS). Two little brown bats
and one northern long-eared
bat observed near a cave entrance showed visible signs of
WNS during monitoring for the
disease. The USGS-National Wildlife Health Center in Madison,
Wisconsin confirmed that the
bats had WNS.
Pseudogymnoascus destructans (P. d.), the fungus that causes
white-nose syndrome, was also
detected on additional samples
collected from the cave, which
as recently as February 2014 had
no visual signs of WNS. WNS
was also confirmed in four little brown bats collected in Van
Buren County this winter after a
concerned citizen reported bats
flying around outside.
P. d. had previously been detected in caves at Maquoketa
Caves State Park in 2011, 2012,
and 2013, but it was not detected
in the last two winters.
The Iowa DNR conducted routine monitoring and surveillance
at other sites and is investigating
an unconfirmed report of possible WNS in another county. Additional samples are still being
analyzed by the National Wildlife
Health Center.
The confirmation of WNS in
Iowa is not a surprise. Monitoring found P.d. in the state in
2011 and the DNR took steps
to help delay the arrival of the
disease through seasonal cave
closures and public education
about decontamination procedures to prevent transporting the
fungus between sites. The caves
at Maquoketa Caves State Park
remain seasonally open.
WNS affects bats during hibernation. Bats awaken more often
and use up fat reserves needed
for survival through winter. They
may also emerge from hibernation too early and starve or freeze
to death. Mortality rates for little
brown and northern long-eared
bats have exceeded 95 percent
in infected caves in other states.
Bats are crucial to a healthy
ecosystem. They eat insects that
can damage agricultural crops,
saving us at least $3 billion annually in pest suppression services.
The five bat species known to use
caves in Iowa are susceptible to
WNS; little brown, big brown,
Indiana, tri-colored, and northern long-eared bats. Indiana and
northern long-eared bats receive
protection by the U .S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) under
the Endangered Species Act.
WNS is not known to pose a
threat to humans, pets, or livestock. It is transmitted primarily
from bat to bat, but fungal spores
may be inadvertently carried to
caves by humans on clothing and
caving gear. Iowa citizens can
help bats by following all decontamination requirements if entering caves and continuing to
avoid disturbing bats, especially
during hibernation.
Iowans can also help bats by
volunteering to monitor bat populations in the state. Acoustic
monitoring surveys that rely on
recording bat echolocation calls
are an efficient way to monitor
bat populations to identify areas of high bat activity in Iowa.
Volunteers are needed in Boone,
Clayton, Dubuque, Hamilton,
Hardin, Jackson, Lucas, Marshall, Story, and Warren counties. For more information visit
the DNR website at www.iowadnr.gov/volunteerwildlifemonitoring/ or email the Volunteer
Wildlife Monitoring Program at
vwmp@dnr.iowa.gov. The volunteer acoustic monitoring planned
for this summer is funded by a
WNS grant from the USFWS.
Do not touch or handle bats. If
you see sick or dead bats, please
report them to the DNR.
Record Setting Spring Walleye Netting Season
Department of Natural Resources
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ spring fish spawning season is over and Iowa’s two
walleye hatcheries are filled to capacity as netting crews caught and
spawned 1,021 quarts of walleye
eggs at the Spirit Lake hatchery
and more than 779 quarts at the
Rathbun hatchery.
Walleyes were caught at East and
West Okoboji Lakes, Spirit Lake,
Storm Lake, Clear Lake, and Rathbun Lake from March 28 to April
8. The effort from all the lakes
combined collected more than
250 million eggs.
This year’s walleye netting produced the third highest number
of quarts of eggs from Storm Lake
since the walleye broodstock collection efforts began here in 1988. “We
harvested over 370 quarts of egg
this year,” said Ben Wallace, DNR
fisheries biologist. “In the previous
five years, we haven’t harvested
over 160 quarts in a given year.”
DNR fisheries staff reported a
large number of 19-20 inch females in Storm Lake that hadn’t
been tagged in previous years’ col-
lections, meaning this was their
first year through the hatchery. “We
should continue to see these fish
in future gillnetting seasons,” said
Wallace. “All the fish we collected
looked very healthy and healthier
fish should produce good numbers of eggs.
At Spirit Lake, fisheries staff netted over 3,400 walleyes in nine
nights on Big Spirit Lake and East
and West Okoboji Lakes. The Spirit
Lake Hatchery also cultures muskie
and northern pike and staff collected 312 muskies and 407 northern
pike providing eggs for hatching.
