Warmer temps affect
area in varying ways
By REBECCA MCKINSEY
Guthrie Center Times staff
Many were digging out their
sunglasses and rolling down
their car windows during an
earlier-than-usual thaw last
week.
Temperatures approached 60
last Thursday and Friday and
remained warmer than usual
on Saturday, providing a nice
break for many tired of winter
temperatures — but, for others, the thaw meant extra work.
Volunteer obser vers for
Guthrie Center reported to
the National Weather Service
high temperatures of 56 last
Thursday and Friday, and 49
on Saturday.
The higher temperatures
were in part a result of upperlevel ridging moving through
the central United States and
bringing “more of a southerly
flow,” said Mindy Beerends,
a National Weather Service
meteorologist in Des Moines.
“Warming winds,” also called
Chinook winds, also raised the
temperature.
The National Weather Service
keeps track of records at about
eight sites throughout central
Iowa, Beerends said, and found
that a record was broken at the
Des Moines airport. The low of
45 on Friday was the highest
low since the previous “high
low” of 44 in 1930.
“We do see from time to time
when we get those warmer days
in January and February, but
this is somewhat unusual be-
cause we did get a record value,”
Beerends said. “But a warmup here and there in the winter is pretty typical for Iowa’s
climate.”
The days following the warm
spell were a bit more typical for
this time of year, with temperatures ranging from the midto-high 30s to the mid-40s
throughout this week, with
Saturday looking to be pretty
warm again, Beerends said.
She added Monday that there
was a small chance of snow
Wednesday night.
“It was just one of those couple-day warm-ups,” Beerends
said. “It was just nice to have
after it’d been kinda cold for a
couple weeks.”
The warm days had varying
effects throughout the area.
In Guthrie Center, the schools
didn’t see much opportunity to
take students outside yet during
those warm days, in part because of an early out on Friday
and in part because of the mud.

Rusty Pearson
accepts job in
West Des Moines
By REBECCA MCKINSEY
Guthrie County’s assessor has
resigned and will work his last
day March 2.
Forrest
“Rusty” Pearson, who has
held the position since January of 2011, will
soon start a new
position with
Wolf Construc- Forrest
tion in West Des “Rusty”
Moines, and Pearson
Guthrie County
will go through
the process of finding a new assessor.
Pearson will work as a project procurement manager with
Wolf Construction, a commercial contractor — a job that will
share some ties to his current
work but will offer new variety
as well.
“This is more of the bricks and
boards type thing, more of the
building process,” he said. “We
use that in assessment — I’ll go
out and appraise a property, similar to what you do in construction. But for us here, it goes to the
next step, setting the value and
asking that golf carts not be
driven at the Panorama West
Golf Course for now.
“With the spring thaw and
wet conditions, carts can do
serious damage to tender turf,”
the LPN Weekly newsletter said.
“As always, the course is open
to walkers.”
County roads employees had
an interesting few days with
the thaw, County Engineer Josh
Sebern said.
Guthrie’s River Ruckus: Lineup complete,
Ferris wheel and mechanical bull added
By REBECCA MCKINSEY | Guthrie Center Times staff
Those attending this year’s Guthrie River Ruckus will have
the chance to watch popular country music artists perform
from atop a Ferris wheel. That’s one of the additions planned for
the annual country music extravaganza that has been held at the
Guthrie County Fairgrounds for eight years now. A mechanical bull,
as well as bags and volleyball tournaments, will be featured as well
at the massive event planned for July 28, 29 and 30.
And that’s not counting the music; a variety of names, many of
them new to the River Ruckus, will
play the fairgrounds’ main stage
on Friday and Saturday evenings,
including Frankie Ballard, Craig
Campbell, the Casey Donahew
Band and Dylan Scott on Friday
and Thomas Rhett, Scotty McCreery, Courtney Cole and Clare Dunn
on Saturday.
Rhett, whose song “Die A Happy
Man” spent weeks at the top of Billboard’s country music chart, will
be a popular draw for attendees,
organizer Grant Sheeder predicted.
“We’re fortunate to have Thomas
Rhett,” he said.
On Thursday evening at a smaller
stage closer to the campgrounds,
Iowa artists Brad Morgan and Casey
Muessigmann will perform as well.
On Friday and Saturday during
the day at the smaller stage, local
artists — winners of a radio contest being held at Prairie Meadows
— will play.
Near the show area, a Ferris wheel
will be offered for the first time. At
the campgrounds, Zipp’s Pizzaria
out of Adair will offer breakfast
pizzas, cinnamon rolls and biscuits and gravy for a free-will donation. Part of the proceeds from
the breakfast will go into a fund
for a showerhouse at the campgrounds, Sheeder said.
There will be bags and volleyball tournaments offered near the
smaller stage by the campgrounds,
as well as a mechanical bull, which
hasn’t been offered at the River
Ruckus for several years.
As in past years, organizers will
work with state troopers with the
Iowa State Patrol as well as a private security firm from Des Moines
to provide security at the event.
Ticket sales are ahead of schedule
this year, with almost 10,000 sold
so far, Sheeder said. The event will
be capped at 15,000. About 12,500
people attended last year’s event.

Patient
transportation
program seeking
volunteers
By REBECCA MCKINSEY
When Guthrie County residents hop into
the van on Tuesdays to head to the hospital
with driver Bill Sparks, he jokingly tells them
that the transportation service they’re taking advantage of is a great one — the only
drawback is that they have to ride with him.
Sparks is one of the volunteer drivers
with the Guthrie County Hospital’s courtesy transportation program for patients.
The program is looking for several volunteers to drive the vans once a week.
The program has been offered for about
10 years through the Guthrie County Hospital Foundation.
The service is free, with donations accepted. It is open to patients going to the
Guthrie County Hospital or its clinics in
Panora, Stuart and Adair for appointments,
as well as people who go to the hospital for
congregate meals.
Lonna Brock, an administrative assistant
in physical therapy, coordinates scheduling
for the transportation service. Those needing rides can contact her at 641-332-3810.
“A lot of patients either don’t have family
around or don’t have family that can take
off during the day when they may need a
ride to one of our clinics or to the hospital,”

Lakeside Village management
offers local, regional expertise
Several Lakeside Village residents made tissue paper flowers to decorate the library and classrooms, in conjunction with the Panorama Elementary
School’s annual book fair.
By SUSAN THOMPSON | Guthrie Center Times staff
T
he Lakeside Village on Lake Panorama’s main
basin is an independent, assisted living and
memory care retirement community for seniors
55 and older. A new team took over in August, which
includes a regional management company with local
residents filling key onsite management roles.
Dr. Mark Menadue has had a
home at Lake Panorama since
1989. He purchased The Port
in 2004 and built the attached
22-suite hotel in 2006. His next
investment was the 64-unit Lakeside Village, which opened in
November 2007. Last year, he
decided to research possible
national and regional senior
housing management groups
to oversee Lakeside Village.
“This process was daunting in
its scope, but we quickly identified a regional leader in Senior
Housing Companies,” Menadue
says. “They were highly recommended by their current clients
and are very active in ongoing
development and state-of-theart care in senior housing.”
Menadue says he was impressed with Senior Housing’s
mission statement — “Our top
priority is tending to wants, needs
and comfort of our residents.
And our fundamental beliefs are
based on five core values: Integrity, Innovation, Compassion,
Commitment and Expertise.”
Senior Housing Companies,
based in Cedar Rapids, was
founded by Allen Phillips, who
serves as president. The 12-yearold company now manages 17
retirement communities in Iowa.
The company’s theme is “Rolling out the red carpet for you!”
Allison Law, Senior Housing’s vice
president of operations, says the
company’s philosophy is based
on residents being the “number
one priority. Each of our managed communities is dedicated
to satisfaction and quality of life
for our residents.”
While Senior Housing employees provide technical support, ad-

She earned her graduate degree at Iowa.
“I completed a
residency out-ofstate and then moved
back to the Iowa
City area. Now I’m a
clinical pharmacist at

Hospital specializing
in cardiology and
internal medicine.”
“There’s something
for everyone at Iowa,
so take advantage
of that and get
involved. Iowa City
is a great town
and there’s always
something going on.

Sunset Beach
Playground
donations continue
By SUSAN THOMPSON
Special to Guthrie Center Times
Another $2,200 in donations
was received in the first six weeks
of 2016 to support a new destination playground at Sunset
Beach. Friends of Lake Panorama now has raised $57,000 towards its goal of $80,000 for the
playground.
The first $30,000 was raised
in late 2014 through August
2015. A mailing to LPA members last November announced
Friends is working to raise an
additional $50,000. The Lake
Panorama Association board
voted to match that amount
if the money is raised no later
than August 1, 2016.
Since the first of this year,
there have been three $500 donors, and four donors who gave
$100 each. Another $300 came
from The Port, which hosted a
Super Bowl Party February 7,
with a portion of the proceeds
going to the playground project.
Friends of Lake Panorama is
a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All contributions are tax deductible,
and donors receive a letter of
thanks as their receipt. The
Friends nonprofit is separate
from the Lake Panorama Association, and has a goal of improving recreational amenities
at Lake Panorama.
In January, Friends made a
down payment on the playground equipment to avoid a
5 percent price increase that
would have occurred. Kirk Fischer, president of the Friends board
of directors, encourages donors
to make a 2016 tax-deductible
contribution now so the playground can be installed this
summer.
“We know people often wait
until the end of the year to make
their charitable contributions,”
Fischer says. “But we’re asking
past donors to make another
tax-deductible donation this
spring. And we’re asking new
donors to join existing donors
to help us raise the final amount
needed.”
While donations of all sizes
are welcome, only donors of
$500 or more are recognized
on the Friends website. In addition, a sign listing these larger
donors will be erected near the
playground.
A special fundraising event
is planned for Friday, May 6,
at the Lake Panorama National
Conference Center. Plans include a dinner, raffles, silent and
live auctions and live music. If
money still is needed to reach
the playground goal, proceeds
will go to that fund. If that goal
has been reached, proceeds will
be used for other projects endorsed by the Friends board.
Sponsors and hosts will be
sought for 30 tables of eight.
Each table will be individually decorated with a different
theme. Sponsors will be able
to choose whether to do their
own decorating, or have a volunteer do this, and participants
will vote on a “People’s Choice”
award for the best-decorated
table. Ticket sales will get underway in March, and donated
items are being sought for the
raffle and auctions.
The main playground structure includes multiple slides,
bridges and climbing opportunities. Several smaller structures
surround the main area, including hop rocks, bongo stumps,
and modern takes on the oldfashioned merry-go-round and
teeter-totter. Donations can be made in
someone’s memory or in honor
of someone. Donations by check
can be mailed to Friends of Lake
Panorama, PO Box 488, Panora,
IA 50216. Donations also can
be accepted electronically on
the Friends website.
Donations of securities
(stocks, mutual funds, etc.) are
welcome, and will be sold once
transferred, with the proceeds
deposited into the Friends bank
account. A securities account
has been established with GCSB
Investment Center in Panora.
In addition to the Sunset
Beach playground, donations
also can be made to six separate
funds or a combination of funds.
There is a general fund, plus
funds for Boulder Beach, Shady
Beach, Sunset Beach, Panorama
West, and Lake Panorama National. Money donated to these
will be used at the discretion of
the Friends board.
Questions or suggestions can
be emailed to staff@friendsoflakepanorama.org. The website is www.friendsoflakepanorama.org.

Caring for
Fruit Trees
With spring just around
the corner, it’s time to start
thinking about the care of
your fruit trees. Late February to early April is the best
time to prune fruit trees.
They should be pruned annually before they begin to
leaf out in the spring. A dormant oil spray should be ap-
Call Paul Today at 641-740-0029
or 641-747-2014
plied in late March or early
April to control aphids, spider mites, and scale.
Take Control
of your Blood
Pressure
February is Heart Month,
a time for us all to think
about heart health. High
blood pressure is a leading cause of heart disease
and stroke. One in every
six Americans have high
blood pressure. People with
high blood pressure are four
times likely to die from a
stroke and three times likely
to die from heart disease.
To prevent this from happening, ask your doctor
what your blood pressure
should be and check it every
few months. If your doctor
prescribes blood pressure
medicine, take it as directed. If you smoke, quit…and
if you don’t smoke, don’t
start. Reduce the amount
of sodium you eat. Cook
more food at home and eat
less food from restaurants.
Buy fresh vegetables and
low sodium soups, sauces,
and ready-made dishes.
What new healthy habit
can you start this week
that will make your heart
happy and healthy?

Guthrie County Board of
Supervisors Regular Session
FEBRUARY 9, 2016
The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors
met in regular session with the following members present: Jerome Caraher, Tom Rutledge,
Everett Grasty, Clifford Carney and Mike Dickson. The meeting began at 9:01AM.
Motion Grasty seconded Rutledge to approve the agenda. All ayes.
Joe Hanner gave the board GCCB minutes to review. Hanner told the board Dallas
Co. is not interested in raising bike trail fees
and there would be no more free weekends.
Rutledge suggested taking sealed bids using a
Craig’s List listing or an April Laughery auction
for the sale of the three point broom. Hanner told the board that there is still one FEMA
worksheet to be signed. Hanner told the board
it was imperative that he get a budget amendment in late April or early May. Dickson asked
that Hanner keep the board up to date on it.
The board discussed the additional health
insurance options that were changes to the
drug card. Dickson said the changes in the
drug card were not making a huge difference in
the premiums. Rutledge asked Marty Arganbright what he thought. Arganbright said he
thought we had good insurance and asked Ron
Allen what he thought. Allen said an increase
in premiums would cause a loss of money on
the raise, they go hand in hand and he would
see how it was going to go. Arganbright asked
Jerri Christman her opinion who said the consultant is recommending the change in the
Wellmark plan and though it puts more risk on
the County it is being addressed in the selffunding balance. Christman said she would
change to the recommended Wellmark plan.
Rutledge said he liked alternative one
Grasty agreed. Dickson said by changing the
Wellmark plan it absorbs some of the 12% increase putting the County at more risk but he
feels the County can handle it.
Motion Rutledge seconded Grasty to go
with alternative one changing the Wellmark
plan. All ayes.
Jotham Arber gave the board public health
employee policies to review saying the first 27
pages were the same as those for courthouse
employees except for the work week on page
8. The board is to review the document and
Arber said he would go over them with it in a
couple weeks. Dickson asked Arber to bring
the cost analysis on public health’s car next
time he was down.
Minutes for 02/02/16 and 02/04/16 and
mental health advocate expense were reviewed and approved.
The board reviewed budgets saying the
following departments were okay as presented
– auditor, EMA, veteran affairs, general relief,
E911, public health, treasurer, conservation
with a change in salaries to what is approved
by the board, recorder with the part-time person staying at 25 hours per week, transfer station with the addition of scales and the Sheriff’s office with the removal of the car lease expense. The board discussed secondary roads.
Josh Sebern will bring more information and
review it with the board on Thursday. Sebern
was asked to submit his capital projects budget. Sebern said he would discuss it with the
board Thursday too.
Jerry Caraher said he received a call
regarding the appointments to the eminent
domain commission. The board will review
the appointments and make any appropriate
changes.
Motion Carney seconded Rutledge to adjourn at 11:55AM. All ayes.
Carney.
Motion Grasty seconded Carney to approve a 1.0% salary increase for FY16-17.
Ayes-Grasty and Carney. Nays-Caraher and
Dickson.
Claims in the amount of $111,289.42
were reviewed and approved.
Josh Sebern said he moved the cold storage building to another line item in his budget
and that he was even in expenses and revenues. There was discussion on what should
be included in Sebern’s capital budget. It was
decided to include the road and three bridges,
the Larson, Rose Acres and Beaver 33, approximately 6.5 million.
Sebern also gave
the board a survey previously requested by
Decatur County in 2014 on brine. Sebern also
told that board the County’s sand salt ratio is
three to one instead of two to one. Sebern
also told the board if brine is run 24/7 then it
is fine if you don’t then it freezes up and you
have trouble.
Diane Jackson spoke to the board about
a possible 28E agreement between Greene/
Guthrie/Audubon in which 5% of her wages
would be paid by the three County’s out of the
general fund so that the person in her position could continue to do work such as HIPAA
and verifying claims for those receiving mental
health services are correct which would be
work outside the region. Jackson also spoke
about a Memo of Understanding. The FY1617 budget will have to be amended if the 28E
agreement is approved.
Ron Allen and Brandon Thompson explained to the board what they plan to do with
the handicap parking at the courthouse. The
current ramp has been grandfathered in but if
there is new construction then it would have to
meet current ADA requirements.
Motion Caraher seconded Grasty to adjourn at 11:30AM. All ayes.

Guthrie County Board of
Supervisors Regular Session
FEBRUARY 11, 2016
The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors
met in regular session with the following members present: Jerome Caraher, Everett Grasty,
Clifford Carney and Mike Dickson. The meeting began at 9:01AM.
Motion Grasty seconded Caraher to approve the agenda. All ayes.
Dickson read an email from Tom Rutledge
stating that he was at a state supervisors
meeting and if the board came to an agreement on wages he was okay with that if not it
will have to be figured out at Tuesday’s meeting. Dickson said that the compensation board
had recommended a 5.0% increase. Marty
Arganbright reminded the board that some
do not take insurance in his office so it affects
them more if there is no cost of living increase.
Arganbright also told the board dispatchers are
24/7 and that he can’t get them off the street.
Ron Allen said the salary increase should not
be based on the insurance increase. Grasty
said that we should look at insurance differently some places only pay single and that
we may need to look at how it is structured.
Darcia Robson said there was a difference in
benefit between single and family coverage.
Grasty said he would like it to be more equitable. Carney said the school provides single
coverage for employees and then employees
pay the difference for family coverage. Arganbright asked what other Counties do. Carney
said as of right now this is where we are at
and most in the room take family. Grasty said
it was discriminatory towards those that don’t
take it or have single. Carney said insurance
was a tax free benefit to the employee. Grasty
said it was too late to look at insurance this
year.
Motion Caraher seconded Dickson to
have no increase in salaries for the FY16-17.
Ayes-Caraher and Dickson. Nays-Grasty and

ber to assist Bristle with health
care services. She and her husband Luke and their two children
moved to Panora seven years ago.
Marla Hammer has worked in
the Lakeside Village kitchen for
more than four years, and was
named culinary coordinator last
fall. She oversees the culinary
staff, coordinates meal plans
and assists with special events.
Under her guidance, additional
meal and snack options now are
available to residents.
Marla’s husband, Mark, recently was hired as maintenance coordinator. The Hammers moved
from Riverside, Calif., to Lake
Panorama in 2007. He has responsibility for maintaining
the community building and
grounds, plus all related equipment.
The newest member of the local management team is Kim
Vogel, who started her position
as life enrichment coordinator
February 15. Vogel, a retired Panora cosmetologist who lives on
Burchfield Cove, is responsible
for planning and conducting daily activities and special events,
and creating a monthly activities
calendar for residents.
There currently are 12 universal workers who provide direct
support to residents, and four
culinary workers. “Half of these
are long-time employees and half
are new,” Eckley says. “This has
provided a great blend to our
staffing needs.”
Eckley says she’s always looking for more “great people. We
offer full benefits such as health
insurance, vision, dental and 401
K. But the best benefit is the reward of working with the residents and making a difference
in their days and lives. We become one big family,” she says.
Along with the increase in personnel has come an increase in
activities and events. “Many of
our activities and events now
are free and open to the public,” Holloway says. “The number of educational opportunities,
meetings and participation in
the community has increased
immensely.”
One of the first new activities
implemented when Senior Housing took over was the Live 2B
Healthy program, an on-site fitness training program tailored
just for seniors. Classes are taught
by certified instructors and designed for both fun and fitness.
Classes are held Tuesdays and
Thursdays at 9 a.m. and last about
45 minutes. The classes are free
and open to the public, as well
as to Lakeside Village residents.
Another new program just for
those in the memory care program is Music Speaks. A board
certified music therapist visits
Lakeside Village twice a month,
and uses songs and musical instruments to help increase social
interaction and communication.
A new community connection
has been made with a reading
group at the Panorama Elementary School. A Lakeside craft project
resulted in tissue flower decorations for the school’s book fair.
Monthly Bingo parties got underway in January that are free
and open to the public. Popcorn
and beverages are provided and
prizes awarded. Future dates are
March 16, April 20 and May 18,
all beginning at 1 p.m. and lasting one hour.
An Alzheimer’s/Dementia
Caretaker Support Group was
having an impact on the taxation process, and that won’t be
part of (the new job). There are
similar parts of the job but also
lot of differences.”
Pearson spent the first 20 years
of his career in construction,
and the last seven in government work — five in Guthrie
County. He’s excited about the
new job.
But he’ll miss his current job,
he said, especially the people
he works with.
“We have a great team here,”
he said. “I think it’s ready for
another person to come in and
hit the ground running.”
The assessor’s office has begun using new technology during the past few years and has
good relationships with the cities
in Guthrie County, banks and
appraisers, as well as residents,
Pearson said.
“Taxes, honestly, are never
fun,” he said. “They’re a necessary part of the society we live
in, but nobody wants to be the
face of taxation — I’m not going
to miss that part of it.”
Despite that challenge, Pearson said, Guthrie County has
been good to his office.
“I just want to say thank you
to the people of Guthrie County,”
Pearson said. “What we do in
our businesses is naturally controversial; it’s not your favorite
thing when the assessor comes
knocking on your door, but as
a whole, Guthrie County has
been receptive to that.
A county Conference Board,
comprising the county’s supervisors, the mayors of each city
in the county and school board
members from throughout the
county, makes decisions pertaining to the assessor’s office and
will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday in
the courthouse meeting room.
The meeting, already planned
to serve as a public hearing for
the assessor’s office’s budget for
the upcoming fiscal year, will
also allow the board to discuss
finding a new assessor.
Iowa law requires that group
of three people — called an examining board and appointed
by the conference board — interview and help select a new
assessor. The individual must
be on a list of candidates who
have passed the State of Iowa
assessor exam, a free test that
is offered twice a year. Those
who are eligible apply for and
interview for the job as usual,
with the examining board handling the interviews and making a recommendation to the
conference board.
The selected candidate will
be appointed to fill the rest of
Pearson’s current six-year term,
which started in January of this
year, before having to apply for
reappointment in 2021.
No one else in the Guthrie
County assessor’s office has taken the assessor exam. However,
former deputy assessor Nikki
Carrick was recently named the
office’s chief deputy and is able
to serve as the acting assessor
until a new one is hired, Pearson said.
The office also includes appraiser Jessi Lawrence.
Pearson said he appreciates
the opportunity to work as the
assessor for the last five years.
“I think (the office) is a better place than was when it was
when I started,” he said. “And
that was my goal coming in.”

started in January, with monthly
meetings. Those who are caring for or assisting in caring for
a person affected by Alzheimer’s or a related dementia, plus
family members and friends,
are encouraged to participate
in this free support group. The
next meeting will be March 16
at 6 p.m.
An Alzheimer’s Awareness
movie series was presented the
first three Thursdays in February. These movies were leadins to an open house planned
in the Lakeside Village memory
care program March 3 at 2 p.m.
Those attending will be able to
tour some of the 20 apartments
in the memory wing, experience
life enrichment and sensitivity
activities, and at 3 p.m. learn
about warning signs from a representative of the Alzheimer’s
Association.
On March 15, Lakeside Village
is hosting a community blood
drive from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Appointments to donate blood
can be made by calling LifeServe
Blood Center at 800-287-4903,
or at www.donorsaves.org.
Residents have the chance to
take trips in the Lakeside bus
for shopping, lunch, musical
events, the Panora library and
other locations. In late January,
a trip to Saylorville Lake was a
chance to see bald eagles and
pelicans.
Church services, Bible studies, daily chair exercise options,
and men’s and women’s coffees
are offered. Craft activities, Sunday afternoon movies, musical
entertainment, outside speakers and birthday parties fill the
monthly calendar. Pontoon rides
on Lake Panorama will be offered this summer.
Marcia Harris has been living at Lakeside Village nearly
five years. “I really appreciate
the monthly tenant meetings
to which all tenants and family members are invited,” she
says. “This gives us an avenue
to voice complaints and give input into planned activities. They
have been doing their very best
to make these things happen.”
Lora Koch’s mother, Betty
Lippincott, has been living at
Lakeside Village for more than
a year. “When Mom needed
more help and wanted to live
closer to us, the first place we
looked was Lakeside Village. The
recent change in management
has only improved all they have
to offer,” Koch says. “Mom es-

Lindsey Juarez and Tom Waselchuk will perform the best
love songs of country’s classic artists during a “Sweet
Dreams and Honky Tonks” performance at the Warren Cultural Center in Greenfield on March 6.
Classic country
comes to Warren
Center March 6
The music and lives of Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Hank
Williams and Patsy Cline will
take center stage at the Warren
Cultural Center in Greenfield
when “Sweet Dreams & Honky Tonks” performs Saturday,
March 6 at 7 p.m.
This new revue by a sixmember band from Wisconsin
presents the best loved songs of
these classic artists along with
stories of their colorful lives and
careers. It’s impossible to crown
any one performer as country
music’s biggest star, but these
four would all be near the top
of any list. Each broke barriers
and changed country music
and popular culture forever.
“The music was as familiar
as an old friend, but the singing and style were fresh, exciting and before the first song
had ended, the audience was
captivated,” said one reviewer.
Tickets are on sale now at Ed
& Eva’s in Greenfield, call 641743-2566, or online at warrenculturalcenter.com. All seats
are $25 for this Premier Series
show, presented in the WCC’s
Norman Lear Theater.
This presentation is supported by the Arts Midwest
Touring Fund, a program of
Arts Midwest that is funded
by the National Endowment
for the Arts, with additional
contributions from the Iowa
Arts Council, the Crane Group
and General Mills Foundation.
The “Sweet Dreams” show
caps a weekend of cultural variety at the WCC. On Friday,
March 4, 7 pm, the University
of Iowa Latin Jazz Ensemble
will perform. Admission is by
donation ($10 per adult suggested).
On Saturday, five awardwinning artists will conduct
a workshop and talk. Winners
of the 2015 Iowa Arts Council
Artist Fellowships will be at the
WCC to talk about their creative work. A free “Zine” making
workshop (simple comic-book
like art and writing) will start
at 2 pm, led by Rachel Buse
and Rob Stephens. At 4 pm all
the artists will talk about their
work, followed by a reception;
others are Matt Drissell, Larassa
Kabel, and Lisa Schlesinger.
The music and lives of Johnny
Cash, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams and Patsy Cline comes
to life when “Sweet Dreams &
Honky Tonks” takes the stage at

the colorful lives and careers
of the stars who sang them in

WEATHER

“The roads definitely softened up,” he said. “But the continued dryness has helped a lot,
and the wind and sun helped
a lot; we were able to get out
and do our regular maintenance.”
The warm weather was
worth it personally, even if
it caused more work on the
roads, he noted.
“We have a lot of experience
on the road crew, and it’s not
our first rodeo,” he said.
Road graders were out to
reshape roads that had been
frozen, and employees were
hauling rock to cover up softer spots. They addressed the
muddiest areas first.
“There’s usually a thaw in the
winter, but not to this extent,
and it was a little early,” Sebern
said. “We had to switch gears.

HOSPITAL
FROM Page 1A
Brock said. “It helps the patients be independent and still
get to their doctor’s visits.”
Brock estimated that more
than 100 people use the service in a year, with some using it as often as several times
a week. The van goes out each
day, she said.
“(Patients) think it’s a marvelous service,” Brock said. “I’ve had
countless patients that use it and
say they don’t know what they’d
do without it. They’re thankful
for it.”
“Permanent drivers” have a set
day they drive each week; there
are three right now, after several
people left the program recently
because of work responsibilities
or moves. Several backup drivers fill in when possible.
Permanent volunteers receive a free lunch at the hospital’s Sneakers Cafe on the days
they work, as well as a membership with the hospital’s fitness
center if they want to work out
in between rides.
“Everyone seems to really
appreciate the feature and program,” said Megan Vaughan, who
does outreach and marketing for
the hospital. “The volunteers get
a lot out of it. It’s all volunteer,
but we definitely need people
to volunteer.”
Brock is looking for permanent
drivers for Monday and Thurs-
It was the normal springtime
activity — it just came early.”
That included pulling snow
plow equipment off of trucks
so that they could haul rock —
even though the plows might
still need to be used again this
winter.
“If we get a cold spell, it
freezes again or there’s a big
wet snow, we might have to go
through it all again,” he said.
“It’s spring-winter in Iowa, I
guess.”

Don Walters, who lives in
Guthrie Center, drives on

2012. He started after his wife
died.
“I wanted to get out,” he said.

anyway, and I wanted to get out

Walters said he enjoys the
chance to spend time with people and to feel that he’s helping them.

Sparks, the Tuesday driver, has
been driving with the program
for about eight years.
“I thought it was something I
could do to pay back somebody
else, and hopefully if the day
comes that I need somebody,
they’ll be there,” he said.
Some days when he’s taking
patients to clinics throughout
the county, he’ll drive more than
200 miles — Sparks described
himself as very social, and the
long drives are a nice time to
chat, he said.
“But even on short rides, you’d
be surprised what you can cover
in a mile or two,” he said.
Sparks said he’ll continue with
the program as long as he can.
“It’s rewarding when somebody tells you thank you for doing it,” Sparks said. “Somebody
gets some good out of it.
“You don’t get paid in cash,
but sometimes there are better
rewards than cash.”

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will release trout in
10 locations in areas that would
not support them during warmer
months.
Bringing trout to cities and towns
offers a “close to home” way for
Iowans who might not normally
travel to northeast Iowa to discover trout fishing.
The popular program is supported by the sales of the trout
fee. Anglers need a valid fishing
license and pay the trout fee to
fish for or possess trout. The daily
limit is five trout per licensed angler with a possession limit of 10.
A family friendly event is often paired with the stocking to
help anglers have success and
fun while fishing.
“We do these events to create
excitement about fishing,” said
Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources
Fisheries Bureau. “The fish are
here, easy to catch and good to
eat. For someone who has not
tried it before, grab your neighbors, friends and kids and get out
there. It’s time well spent.”
Once you have purchased your
trout fee, it can be used all year long
to fish any of the urban lakes and
trout streams in Northeast Iowa.
Children age 15 or younger can
fish for trout with a properly licensed adult, but they must limit their catch to one daily limit.
The child can purchase a trout
fee which will allow them to catch
their own limit.

Juergensen brothers too much for Tigers
Paton-Churdan 59, Guthrie Center 38 | Tigers
close first year under Mohling at 7-15
By MATTHEW REZAB
manning
The Guthrie Center basketball team knew to expect
heavy doses of zone defense
and Noah Juergensen in its district clash with Paton-Churdan.
It just couldn’t do anything
to stop it.
The Tigers season ended with
a 59-38 defeat at the hands of
Paton-Churdan in the Class
1-A District 14 quarterfinals
Thursday night in Manning.
Juergensen, a senior allconference selection, and his
brother Chase pushed PatonCurdan to an 11-3 lead after the
first quarter and the Rockets
never looked back. The duo
combined for 32 total points,
18 from Chase.
The Rockets got 15 points
from Joe Tower.
Paton-Churdan’s packed in
zone defense bothered the Tigers all night.
“That was what we scouted
them to do,” Guthrie Center
head coach Jake Mohling said.
“We tried to prepare for it, but
they ran it well, especially when
they went to the box and 1.”
Mohling said Noah Juergensen was a big factor his
team couldn’t find an answer for.
“He’s a very good player. We
knew that coming in,” he said.
Senior Sam Courtney and
sophomore Quenton Spack
led the way for the Tigers with
10 points apiece.
“As a team we just came
out flat,” Mohling said. “They
played extremely well and deserved to win that game. They
played tough, made shots and
they went 16 for 18 from the
free throw line. They just outplayed us in every aspect of
the game.”
The Tigers finished 32 percent from the field on 14 of
44 shooting, including 5 of
18 from the three-point line.
Guthrie Center made 5 of 8
foul line shots.
Senior TJ Wickland added
seven points and seven rebounds for the Tigers. Noah
Nelsen chipped in five points,
Cadeyn Wardyn four and Collin Stowe two.
Paton-Churdan shot 19 of
36 (53 percent) from the floor,
including 5 of 12 three-pointers. The Rockets made 16 of
18 free throw attempts.
The Rockets (16-5) advanced
to face Exira/EHK Tuesday
night in Manning at 6:30 p.m.
The Spartans defeated Coon
Rapids-Bayard 46-33 Thursday evening.
Guthrie Center ended its season at 7-15. The squad will return three 2015-2016 starters
next season, all of whom are
sophomores this year.
Mohling said he’s looking
forward to building on the
squad’s improvement this
season going into next year.
“When you lose your seniors from the year before
and that team only had one
win, and you come in and
you have two senior starters
and the rest are sophomores
and freshmen and you come
out and win seven games in a

2-A conference, that showed
Guthrie Center’s Cadeyn Wardyn (14) and Collin Stowe (54)
a lot of growth to me,” Mohgo after a rebound in a district game against Paton-Churdan played in Manning on Feb. 18. The Tigers lost 59-38.

Scheuermann places Adair-Casey
knocked out
sixth for Tigers
of tourney
by CAM
Des Moines
The 2016 Iowa High School
State Wrestling Tournament
wrapped up action on the mat
Saturday night inside Wells Fargo
Arena in downtown Des Moines.
Of the three Guthrie Center high
school athletes that qualified,
one made it through the third
day of competition and was recognized Saturday night during
the state finals for securing a
spot on the top-eight podium.
Junior Logan Scheuerman
was the lone place-winner for
the Tigers, earning a sixth place
medal in his first trip to the state
mat at 138 pounds.
“He definitely didn’t have an
easy road to attain that state
medal,” Tiger head coach Shawn
Danker said. “He lost his first
match, which was a really strange
situation with more blood and
break time than wrestling which
took us out of our match. We
are in superior condition and
couldn’t use that to our advantage. Plus some situational instances that we didn’t get some
points due to blood.”
Danker said it was a tough
first-time state meet match for
Scheuermann, who went on to
win some nice matches inside
Wells Fargo Arena.
“We came out the back side of
the bracket winning some major
battles by beating the fourth and
fifth ranked kids enroute to his
6th place medal,” Danker said.
At 220 pounds, junior Cade
Suhr had a tough draw for his
first trip to the state mat with
the No. 2 guy in his bracket and
eventual state champion.
“Cade’s second match was
a 3-2 loss to a really good and
much larger guy,” Danker said.
“Having an opportunity to get
these great experiences and getting on that mat in Wells Fargo
Arena and mixing it up with the
best wrestlers in the state was a

Class 1-A No. 11 ranked AdairCasey 51-50 in a girls regional
quarterfinal on Tuesday, Feb. 16.
Adair-Casey had previously
beaten the Cougars (12-11) by
scores of 61-25 and 63-39.
The Bombers finished a shining year with an 18-4 record. They
say goodbye to six seniors, who
made a trip to the state tournament as sophomores and
reached the regional final as
juniors. Adair-Casey will join
Guthrie Center next season as
the schools begin a whole-gradesharing agreement on July 1.
Adair-Casey sophomore Madie
Sorensen poured in 28 points
on 12-of-16 shooting to lead the
Bombers Tuesday. She pulled
down a team-best six rebounds,
while dishing five assists and
snagging three steals.
Senior Zoey Dinkla added 19
points and five rebounds for the
Bombers.
Adair-Casey shot 19 of 44 (43
percent) from the field,including
5 of 11 from the three-point line.
They made 7 of 11 foul line shots.
The Bombers trailed 28-26 at
the half, but outscored CAM 12-8
in the third period.
Junior Felicity Jackson led the
way for CAM with 19 points, while
McAfee and Madison Gettler each
added 10 for the Cougars.
CAM finished 18 of 42 (43 percent) from the floor, hitting 4 of

CAM was stopped short of a
regional final on Friday, Feb. 19
when they fell 49-42 to Mount
Ayr. Mount Ayr advanced to the

Moines with a 56-51 win over
Grand View Christian on Monday, Feb. 22.

Newell-Fonda finds
win through the
spokes of Audubon
By MARK SCHAFER

Logan Scheuermann (right) from Guthrie Center tries to escape Austin Hellman from
Don Bosco-Gilbertville in a 138-pound first-round match. Scheuermann lost 6-5 but rallied in the consolation bracket with a 4-2 win over Pedro Rodriguez from Sibley-Ocheyedan.
ida grove
Going into Monday night’s
game Audubon head coach Darran Miller knew his Wheeler girls
basketball team would have to do
two things if they wanted to advance into the state tournament.
The first was to break down the
Newell-Fonda full-court press

and the second was to disrupt the Newell-Fonda offense.
Audubon was able to get
their offense going, but
Newell-Fonda had more
speed to gain the 65-47 victory in the Class 1-A Region
8 finals at Ida Grove.
“Coming into the game I
was really nervous for how
we’d be able to handle the
press, but I thought we did
a great job of handling the
pressure,” Miller said. “We
had a few turnovers from
the press, but overall I was
pleased on how we attacked
the press.”
While some teams during
the postseason have completely been shut down by
Newell-Fonda’s turnover
hungry defense, the Wheelers showed no fear in the
face of the constant pressure. Throughout the game
Audubon’s attack on offense
was as simple as it was effective. They’d simply wait
until one of their teammates
ran down the floor past the
Newell-Fonda defense and
feed her the ball.
“Like my motto this year
has been, keep it simple and
play hard,” said Miller.
Although it may seem like
a basic strategy, it worked
well throughout the first
quarter. And while NewellFonda was able to generate
a touch more offense, Audu-
bon kept the score within
striking distance, closing
within three points before
the end of the quarter, but
the Mustangs extended their
lead 17-12 after one quarter.
“In the end what this game
came down to was (Erin)
Gerke who we couldn’t stop
tonight,” Miller said. “She
was able to get good penetration all night, at the end
of the day I thought we did
a good job on her, but she
handled our defense well
and we just couldn’t handle
her penetration.”
Although the Wheelers
had kept the game close
throughout the first quarter, Newell-Fonda found a
break in the Audubon defense that allowed them to
build their lead.
From the second quarter
on, Newell-Fonda would
take the ball at the top of
the key, fake one way, and
then sneak through the other side inside for a layup or
a foul, most of the attack being led by the junior Gerke,
who scored eight straight
points during a two-minute
stretch.
Audubon tried to adjust to
the pressure by extending
their zone defense to span
the width of the floor, only
to force the Mustangs into
a track meet in which the
Wheelers struggled to keep
pace with.
A 21-point quarter by Newell-Fonda allowed them to
hold a 38-23 lead at halftime.
Audubon emerged from
half with a new mindset as
they fired off three-point
attempt after three-point
attempt, but many toyed
with the Audubon fans by
dipping inside the rim before bouncing out. On the
defensive side, the Wheelers shored up their defense
with an extra player in the
post.
The extra inside defender
helped the Wheelers stop
Newell-Fonda’s attack, but it
also came at a cost, as three
quick fouls were called on
the Wheelers.
With key defenders bordering on the brink of foul
trouble, Audubon backed
off their aggressive defense,
as Newell-Fonda carried a
51-34 lead into the fourth
quarter.
Defensive rebounds ruled
the final eight minutes of
the game as both teams lost
their shooting touch, as evidenced by Audubon’s freethrow shots that seemingly
leaped away from the rim.
The Wheelers tried to close
the gap late in the game,
but Newell-Fonda held on to
the ball, draining the clock
and ultimately the season
for Audubon.
“We are going to lose
our leading scorer in Emily Haubrich who has been
great for us all season,” Miller said. “All four of the seniors were good models who
came and worked hard every night. I’m just happy
with the way we played all
around this season.”
Audubon finished the year
with a 16-8 record.
