DC Council approves budget amendment, street bids

Supervisors say ‘no’ to GC-B Daycare request By KENT THOMPSON

The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors on Monday rejected a request from the Gilmore City-Bradgate Community Schools for a $5,000 quarterly donation to that community’s in-school daycare center. The request came in the form of a letter from GC-B Superintendent Jeff Herzberg and the GC-B Board of Education, signed by Board President Tawny Hoover. The letter starts by asking for a formal request for $5,000 per quarter for the Gilmore City-Bradgate School Daycare, to match the county funds being expended for the non-profit Kiddie Cats Child Care and Learning Center in Dakota City, which went online in June 2018. “We appreciate the opportunity to have county funds supporting quality daycare throughout the entire county and thank you for the $2,500 donation made in 2018.” The letter asks that the quarterly funding begin on July 1, and continue for a period of three years, to be negotiated again in the spring of 2022. According to the letter, funds will be used for literacy curriculum materials, purposeful play centers, toys, equipment, technology and staff wages. The letter states that since moving into the school building in August 2014, the center has added many chilSEE SUPERVISORS, 3A

In 37 years I’ve been with the company she’d never been to the plant. How many

other spouses of employees and their children had never been in the plant? We decided to open it up to the public to show what we do.” Inside the 180,000 square foot facility, the 130 employees manufacture pulleys and rollers for conveyor systems. “If you fly your bag has been moved on a Chantland pulley.

The city of Dakota City will have $319,000 less in its fund balance to start the coming fiscal year (July 1) that it did a year ago. The city well project, upcoming water plant improvements and storm sewer projects were all contributing factors. At the Dakota City Council meeting on Wednesday, May 8, the DC Council unanimously agreed to amend the budget by increasing revenues by $203,375 and increasing expenses by $550,000. The breakdown was $61,000 for community and economic development expenses, including the purchase of the Davis Holland property and other low-tomoderate income expenses. The city’s share of the well improvement project was $250,000. There was $60,000 for engineering expense for the water treatment plant upgrade and $29,000 for storm sewer projects. Transfers in and other accounted for $150,000. On the revenue ledger, the city received $53,375 in community development block grant loan proceeds that were previously unaccounted. The city is using reserve cash funds to make up for the $319,981 shortfall. The city’s ending fund balance on July 1 will be an estimated $817,391, compared to $1,137,372 on July 1, 2018.

Now, 2 1/2 years later, LuAnn is working in both Alcohol Ink and Encaustic Wax and she has taught classes in Manchester, Fort Dodge and Humboldt, sharing her knowledge with all who want to learn. As mentioned, LuAnn works in two different mediums; alcohol ink (AI) and

The 14th annual Humboldt Arts Festival features something for everyone when it comes to town on Saturday, June 15. The event will be at the Humboldt County Historical Museum grounds, 905 1st Ave. N., Dakota City. The event will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with children’s art ending at 2 p.m. Amber Olson and Kate Smith are serving as the cochairs for this year’s Festival. Olson assisted Lori Curran last year. “The event is a way for us to give back to the community with a free event that celebrates the arts in all of its manifestations,” Olson said. For example, there will be creative artistic expression through a number of activities and crafts for children, the display of handmade items by the 20 or so artisans who will be displaying and selling their wares. There will be live entertainment — musical and comedy. The Arts Festival is not only a great way to celebrate the arts in Humboldt County, but also to achieve a goal of the Humboldt Area Arts Council, to integrate artistic expression in the everyday lives of adults and children. The main entertainment will be the Nedd Freeley

Fun Band, who will be performing on the fair stage from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The local band was formed in 2015 and has developed quite a following in a short time. Band members are very familiar to people in touch with the local music scene and includes Donny “DWags” Wagner, Jack Dimond, Elden Landolt, Scott Dahl and Steve Curry. The group promises a variety of music, classic rock n’ roll, classic country and everything in between. The group can be seen performing in the area on numerous occasions. The band notes that they were voted the best band in Livermore in 2016. Providing a break in the day’s musical entertainment will be Dan Geers, a balloon artist from the Des Moines area who goes by Zounds the Clown. He will be strolling the grounds making balloon animals for the kids from 10 a.m. to noon and then will have a stage show for them from noon to 12:30 p.m. See what kind of balloon animals he can make! Speaking of children, a popular part of the Arts Festival is the children’s art tent where fun art and activities will be going on. Corteva and Kent Berte will be be having a scientific learning station where children will get a chance to make a genetic bracelet craft.

Goodenow named new principal/ director at GCB By PHIL MONSON

A number of personnel items highlighted last week’s regular monthly meeting of the Gilmore City-Bradgate School Board. In their meeting held on May 8 in Gilmore City, the board approved hiring Jessica Jessica GoodeGoodenow now to become the school’s new elementary principal and daycare director. Goodenow’s first day in the district will be on July 29. Goodenow will be hired full-time to serve both positions. She’ll replace principal Jeffrey Fenske and daycare director Wendy Herzberg. Fenske has been with the district for two years, where he had a half-time contract. He’ll return to California, where he has an extensive background in education. His wife continues to teach in California and his children also attend college in California. Wendy Herzberg has served the district for the past five years. “We are real excited about Jessica coming to our district. She has served as a fourth grade teacher in the Tipton School Disrict. She and her husband have four young children. He is also a teacher and so he will be looking for a position in the area,” GCB School Superintendent Jeff Herzberg said. “Gilmore City-Bradgate is an exciting school and day care center to be a part of. With their growing numbers and attention to educating the whole child, I was thrilled to accept the position as principal,” Goodenow told the Independent. “I am eager to build relationships with staff and students while learning about the culture of the school. Many amazing things are happening at GCB and I can’t wait to support and extend that,” Goodenow said. “North central Iowa is our speed, rural and kind. We are coming from a rural community and value knowing our neighbors and investing in the community,” Goodenow said. “A network

“Many amazing things are happening at GCB and I can’t wait to support and extend that.” New GC-B principal Jessica Goodenow of great people reached out to support us in our move to the area this summer.” The board also approved a contract for Sasha Wieth to serve as half-time literacy teacher and half-time art teacher. Wieth is an Eagle Grove native and currently teaches in the Pocahontas Area School District. The board also approved two special education positions, one full-time and one half-time. Laura Merrit will be a new full-time special education teacher and Angela Duffy was approved for a half-time special education teaching position. Wieth and Duffy will be first-year teachers. The board approved a 28E service agreement with Prairie Lakes Area Education Agency to share the contract of Jeff Herzberg for another year. Herzberg is president of the AEA and also has served the GCB district on a part-time basis for the past six years. GCB will continue to pay the AEA $30,000 for Herzberg’s contract. Herzberg serves the district one day per week. The board also approved renewing a contract with Prairie Lakes AEA to share the services of Michelle Dowd, who serves the district as board secretary and business manager. This past year was the first year of the shared business manager contract. GCB will pay the AEA $30,000 for Dowd’s services. “Both of those shared positions generate operational sharing dollars for the district through financial incentives provided by the state,” Herzberg said. “The district actually makes money on my position and they break even on the other position, so it serves the district well.” The board also approved the resignation of Joan Enockson as music and TAG instructor, effective at the end of the summer lesson schedule. Enockson has accepted a full-time position in the Estherville-Lincoln Central School District. The board also accepted the resignation of Tiffany

Thumma as food service director at the end of the school year. “We are now advertising for a music teacher with the potential to share with a neighboring school district,” Herzberg said. Fenske reported to the board on several activities, including assessment testing and a recent ‘Leader In Me’ retreat he took students to in Clarion recently. Fenske said about 12 students went to Clarion and also met up with students from Alden. He labeled the event ‘a great experience for the kids.’ Fenske shared information with the board on how the Leader In Me program works. Superintendent Herzberg apologized for cancelling school on Monday, May 6, due to an anticipated city water shut off expected to take place. “We were told late Friday night on May 3 that the water would be shut off on Monday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jeffrey and I communicated about this on Sunday and I called the city to confirm this,” Herzberg said. “We have about 200 kids in the building now and we just cannot have water. With some input from a couple of board members, we made the decision to cancel school the next day.” “As it turned out, the water wasn’t off for very long at all,” Herzberg said. “I apologize to the board for the late decision and lack of communication.” “This will not impact our last day of school, which will still be on Friday, May 31. We count educational hours instead of days, so we have met our educational requirements,” Herzberg said. “Teachers will have their workdays on June 3 and 4.” During the recognition portion of the meeting, the board honored Enockson and Kelsey Wigans for their efforts in recent activities. Enockson was lauded for her students’ spring music concert while Wigans was honored for her Ag innovation showcase event.

the plant. One is a welding robot and the other is a material handling robot. The robot recognizes what it’s welding with laser sensors. “Automation creates better paying jobs, higher skill level jobs. It creates an opportunity in the community,” Nicholson said. The work environment has been improved with a state of the art ventilation system, safety programs and 5S organization as part of the LEAN manufacturing process. There’s even a concrete tornado shelter for employees within the plant. Like many companies in the state of Iowa, Chantland Company is in need of more employees. “We could hire 30 more right now. We’re producing all we can put out the door,” Heathman said.

Tube steel all used to be cut by hand, but now is cut automatically by a $1.2 million machine. Tube steel is loaded by the bundle and moved by an overhead crane. No one lifts over 50 pounds in the plant. “There are plenty of opportunities for advancement with the company. We are in need of welders, machinists and CNC operators. We are willing to train,” Heathman said. Heathman is an example of working his way up with the company. He started work at the plant after high school, and worked parttime for two years while he went to Iowa Central. He went full time after graduating from Iowa Central in 1981. He worked various jobs on the plant floor before going into sales. He became

President three years ago. Al Chantland started The Chantland Company in 1943. In 1969, the company was purchased by Douglas and Lomason. In 1998, PVS, a chemical company, purchased the company. Nicholson’s father sat on the board of Douglas and Lomason and knew it was a good business so purchased it to diversify their holdings. “We wanted to diversify and have something outside of the chemical arena. It was a big departure for the company. There’s a great leadership group in place that know what they are doing,” Nicholson said. “We’re excited about the opportunity on Saturday to show people what we do,” Heathman said.

dren, causing the need for increased staff and materials. The daycare is serving almost 120 children full and part-time on a daily basis, with a staff of 27. While the growth has been fantastic, it’s been difficult to purchase needed supplies and maintain competitive staff wages, Superintendent Herzberg and Board member Hoover state in the letter. The Board said the $5,000 per quarter request is not in their 2019-20 budget. The Board of Supervisors was unsure of the exact amount of loan payments to the Kiddie Cat Child Care Center. According to records, five public bodies, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, the Humboldt City Council, the Dakota City Council, the Humboldt County Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees and the Humboldt Community School District pledged to pay $7,000 each yearly for the debt service on a $500,000 community loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development to support the non-profit daycare center in Humboldt. The county, city of Humboldt and HCMH then underwrote a $500,000 commercial loan in early 2017 for the daycare as well. The county’s financial exposure for that is $15,000 per year for 20 years. The city of Humboldt shares a like amount, with $7,500 to be borne by HCMH. Those loan funds could be repaid to the public bodies from either private fundraising or daycare revenues. The two loans mean Humboldt County has $22,000 in public funds going out per year toward the Kiddie Cats Child Care and Learning Center, which was constructed across the street from the courthouse and was opened last June. Supervisor Erik Underberg said the Board would like more information explaining the request and the need. “Pocahontas (County) doesn’t do it (provide funds for the GC-B Daycare). Start-up funds OK, but they should be self-sustainable. County residents shouldn’t have to pay for child care,” Supervisor Chair Dave Lee said. “There is the idea that if parents don’t have daycare, they won’t be able to come to work,” Supervisor Bruce Reimers said. The Board agreed that they would like to get figures on funds going to the Kiddie Cats Child Care Center and receive more information on the school daycare at GC-B.

Swimming Pool Pass Program Low income families can apply for help in paying for a pool pass through Upper Des Moines Opportunity (UDMO). UDMO pays $75 and the family pays $75.

Supervisor Sandy Loney said she agrees providing a competitive wage for help is tough when convenience stores are paying $11 or $12 per hour. Supervisor Rick Pedersen of Humboldt moved to deny the request with Reimers seconding the motion and Underberg and Loney also agreeing. The Board heard from Humboldt County Engineer Ben Loots. He reported that paving operations by Manatt’s has begun County Road P-33 north of Rutland to Bode. Traffic will be limited and/or rerouted during construction. The public should follow all road signs and posted detours during construction. Loots said about 1.5 miles was completed last Friday. Paving has been completed on County Road P-66 north of Hardy. Blacktop Service Company has its asphalt work done in the city of Hardy. “Once shouldering work is completed that road will be open to the public,” Loots said. Coring and asphalt patching is being conducted near the Griffith Quarry on County Road P-29 and one mile south of Thor on P-66. Three hundred feet of asphalt overlay in the city of Bode is also being completed. Loots said the county hopes for good weather so rock can begin being hauled. He said Humboldt County’s secondary roads are actually in better shape than most surrounding rural counties because of the strong limestone base. Loots reported

that county road crews are about 1.5 months behind schedule due to the weather. Underberg advised to pay attention to the crown in the roads as they are built back into shape. The lone business item regarding secondary roads was an approval of an application to work in the county right of way for Phil Hendrickson for dust control. Hendrickson prefers Deano’s of Mason City with its calcium chloride application over the tree sap used by Pro Cooperative, with whom the county contracts for the other gravel roads requesting dust control. Secondary roads will have more funds to work with. The Board approved three transfers of funds to secondary roads from general basic in the amount of $39,471, rural services in the amount of $493,350 and rural services local option sales tax dollars in the amount of $275,000. The transfers are standard operating procedures for the county as the department budget nears the end of the fiscal year. Speaking of which, the county changed its public hearing date on the 201819 budget amendment from May 20 to Monday, June 3 at 8:35 a.m. The Board elected to cancel its meeting for Monday, May 27 in observance of the Memorial Day holiday. The Board approved bi-monthly claims of $19,009.19 for general expenses and $16,065.25 for county drainage.

The Council held a public hearing on the disposal of the west 10 feet of the north 66 feet of the north/ south alley between 1st Avenue South and 2nd Avenue South. The Council then conveyed the right of way to Lawrence and Phyllis Torkelson of Dakota City. Mayor Sean Phillips signed a quit claim deed to complete the transaction. The Council approved a payment to Reding’s Gravel and Excavating Co. of Algona in the amount of $18,261.31 to complete their contract for work on the city’s drinking water well project of 2018. The Council then certified final completion of the project and accepted a release of claims by the contract. The total cost of work for Reding’s portion of the well project was $215,230.75. The Council set a public hearing for a Community Development Block Grant application for water plant improvements for Wednesday, June 12 at 7 p.m. in Dakota City Hall. CDBG funding will likely be applied for in June. MSA Professional Services, the city’s civil engineering firm, has submitted plans, specs and construction permit applications to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR)

for review. An intended use plan will be reviewed by the DNR and the State Revolving Fund for July consideration. MSA reported that the LMI surveys were mailed out and the required 220 surveys in the community were returned. The surveys showed low-to-moderate income requirements at 51.07 percent of respondents, and at least 51 percent is required, so the city will be continuing with CDBG funding for both housing rehabilitation and the city water plant project. In a related matter, the Council unanimously approved resolution 2019-08, a pledge of $8,430 in local match funds toward administration costs for the 2019 CDBG Housing Rehabilitation project, if state funds are awarded. The city opened sealed bids received for the city’s 2019 street improvement project. One bid was received, that being from Blacktop Service Company of Humboldt. The company quoted $1.95 per yard for single bituminous seal coat for various city streets and $3.90 per yard for double bituminous seal coat. Clerk Angelique Berry said the quotes last year were $1.80 per yard for the single coat and $3.60 per

The Des Moines artist will be on the grounds from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will create a personalized “fat head” drawing of you for only $5.

as we have seven brand new artisans and the created items will range from fine jewelry, to alcohol ink, encaustic wax, woodworking, mixed media art, silk scarves, handmade paper art, painting, rag rugs, handbags, books, really something for everyone,” Rasmussen reported. “We are planning a shopping incentive program again this year to enhance purchases from the artisans. Customers will receive a ticket when they make a purchase from an artisan and the tickets may be submitted for an hourly drawing. Winners may choose a prize of artwork donated by festival artisans with a winner selected every hour,” Rasmussen said. The featured artist will be Humboldt’s LuAnn Burgers (see related story in this issue). “We can’t stress enough how important it is to support the talented artisans who bring their work to the Humboldt Arts Festival. We want to show them a fantastic Humboldt welcome so

they return year after year,” Rasmussen said. Of course, what’s a festival without great food? There will be a little bit of old and new from this year’s food vendors. Burrito Mexpress will be at the Festival and will be selling build your own nachos, walking tacos and taco salads, along with lemonade and strawberry lemonade. Hy-Vee will have its grill and will be cooking up brats and hot dogs, along with chips, pop, water and coffee. Also new will be dean Potratz with his Kettle Korn popper for hot caramel-flavored popcorn. Caribbean Coffee House will be offering smoothies. PEO will have a stand with desserts and snacks. “We appreciate the support and cooperation of the community and the very receptive attitude of the Historical Museum in letting us use their grounds and buildings for this event,” Olson said. Again, the Humboldt Arts Festival is Saturday, June 15 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Congratulations to Mrs. Yoakam on her retirement! It is of major concern to me and other parents that she will not be replaced. Her duties are to be absorbed by Drew Barker and the new hire at the Middle School (Sam Johnson has resigned). This will most certainly and if not immediately compromise the quality and integrity of our band program here in Humboldt. I strongly urge you to join us at the next school board meeting at the High School in Bode on Monday, May 20 at 5 p.m. Every kid needs something, and some kids need music. Please help us show support of the fine arts by filling the boardroom. THANK YOU, SHAUNNA HALVORSON

Here are a few to consider: Put the brakes on risky moves. To keep themselves safe, experienced cyclists regularly do two things: They keep their brakes in good shape and they don’t take unnecessary risks, such as whipping around blind curves. As an investor, you can combine these two actions by putting your own “brakes” on risky moves. For example, if you’re tempted to buy some hot investment you heard about, you may want to think twice before acting. Why? In the ﬁrst place, most “hot” investments don’t stay hot for too long, and may be cooling off by the time you hear of them. And even more important, they might not be appropriate for either your risk tolerance or your need to diversify your portfolio. When you invest, you can’t eliminate all risks, but you can reduce them by avoiding impulsive moves and sticking with a disciplined, long-term strategy based on your needs and goals. Get regular ﬁnancial tune-ups. Avid cyclists keep their bikes in good shape through regular maintenance. When you invest, you usually don’t need to make a lot of drastic moves, but you should periodically “tune up” your investment portfolio, possibly with the help of a ﬁnancial professional, during regular reviews. Such a tune-up may involve any number of steps, but the main goal is to update your portfolio so it reﬂects where you’re at in life – your goals, risk tolerance, earnings and family situation. Protect yourself from bumps in the road. All serious bicyclists – and all bicyclists serious about keeping their heads intact – wear helmets when they are riding, because they know the dangers of rough terrain. Likewise, you need to protect yourself from the bumps in the road that could impede your progress toward your objectives. For starters, life insurance can help your family meet some essential needs – pay the mortgage, educate children, and so on – in case something were to happen to you. And you may need disability insurance to replace your income temporarily if you became injured or ill and can’t work for a while. Also, you might want long-term care insurance, which can help you guard against the potentially catastrophic costs of an extended stay in a nursing home or the services of a home health care worker. Don’t stop pedaling. When going long distances, bicyclists ride through rain, wind, sun and mosquitoes. They elude angry motorists and they change ﬂat tires. In short, they persist in reaching their destinations. As an investor, you will pursue some goals that you may not reach until far in the future, such as a comfortable retirement, so you too need to demonstrate determination and persistence by continuing to invest, in good markets and bad, through unsettling political and global events – and even despite your own occasional doubts. Whether you’re an avid cyclist or not, following these principles can help keep your ﬁnancial wheels moving along the road to your goals.

Morenz obtained a warrant for a urine sample from Ismail. It states that seven hours after the accident she had a blood alcohol concentration of .101, over the .08 legal limit. In his report, Morenz said Ismail’s level of intoxication directly affected her unsafe driving manner, leading to the crash and the death of David Fliehe. Bond was originally set at $100,000 cash, and was later reduced to $25,000, cash or surety. Surety bond was posted and Ismail was released last week with pretrial release agreement filed by the Iowa Department of Correctional Services. Ismail has pleased not guilty to the charge. A pretrial conference in Webster County District Court has been set for Oct. 28, 2019.

According to Iowa State Patrolman Neil Morenz in his complaint filed with the Webster County Attorney’s Office, “based on interviews, statements from the defendant and my own observations at the scene, it was determined that the defendant’s vehicle was making an unsafe pass of Heuck’s vehicle when it collided head-on with David Fliehe’s vehicle.” Morenz said Ismail was going 70 miles per hour at the time of the crash, while Fliehe was traveling about 55 or 60 miles per hour.

Two Iowa youth honored for volunteerism at national award ceremony in Washington, D.C. Award-winning actress Viola Davis pays tribute to Humboldt and Keystone students Iowa’s top two youth volunteers of 2019, Samuel Sexe, 18, of Humboldt and Raegan Junge, 14, of Keystone, were honored in the nation’s capital for their outstanding volunteer service during the 24th annual presentation of The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. Samuel and Raegan, along with 100 other top youth volunteers from across the country, received a $1,000 award and personal congratulations from awardwinning actress Viola Davis at an award ceremony and gala dinner reception held May 5, at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program, sponsored by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), named Samuel and Raegan Iowa’s top high school and middle level youth volunteers in February. In addition to their cash awards, they each received an engraved silver medallion and an allexpense-paid trip with a parent to Washington, D.C., for four days of recognition events. Samuel, a senior at Humboldt High School, has responded to more than 200 service calls as a volunteer emergency medical technician in his rural community since completing the rigorous training required to become a member of the Humboldt County Memorial Hospital EMS squad. Samuel is carrying on a family tradition: His father has served as an EMT for more than 30 years, and all three of his siblings are EMTs as well. “I knew from my father’s experience the lifelong impact an EMT can have,” Samuel said. “I have many memories as a kid of some of his former patients

stopping him in a grocery store or coming up to him at a restaurant to thank him for his service.” As soon as he turned 17, the minimum age to become an EMT in Iowa, Samuel began riding along on EMS calls to observe and help with non-technical tasks. At the same time, he enrolled in a five-month EMT program at a local community college, attending four-hour night classes two or three times a week while keeping up with his high school studies. At the end of the class, he had to pass three challenging tests in order to become certified. The following summer, Samuel spent 40 hours a week on his EMT duties, helping with everything from simple transports to multiple-casualty car accidents. Now, while in school, he has permission from his principal to respond to emergency calls during the school day if necessary. “There is a national shortage of EMTs, which especially affects rural services such as our own,” noted Samuel. “I felt that becoming an EMT would be very beneficial to the community.” Raegan, an eighth-grader at Benton Community Schools, has raised nearly $50,000 over the past seven years to send relief supplies to victims of natural disasters across the United States and overseas, and to provide homeless veterans with essential items and an annual Christmas party. When she was 6, Raegan saw an elderly couple on TV who had just lost their home to a tornado in Joplin, MO. “I felt that I had to do something to help,” she said. She began making beaded bracelets and setting them out at local stores, soliciting donations. When she had accumulated $1,600, Raegan and her family drove for eight

hours to deliver the money to the homeless couple in Missouri. After seeing the destruction and despair in Joplin, “I knew this was something I wanted to continue to do,” said Raegan. She ramped up her bracelet-making initiative, and raised additional funds by seeking sponsors and hosting garage sales and other fundraising activities. With the support of friends, classmates, 4-Hers and members of her community, Raegan acquired hygiene items, flashlights, batteries, gloves, diapers, clothes and other things needed after disasters strike, and began shipping packages to places devastated by Mother Nature. With money left over, she purchased tents, blankets, hand-warmers, shoes and other items for veterans living on the streets or in shelters. She also throws a holiday party for local vets each year, complete with gift bags and a traditional Christmas dinner. “After almost eight years of helping, I have learned anything is possible,” said Raegan. “We’re impressed and inspired by the way these honorees have identified problems facing their communities and stepped up to the challenge to make a difference,” said Charles Lowrey, chairman and CEO of Prudential Financial, Inc. “It’s a privilege to celebrate their leadership and compassion, and we look forward to seeing the great things they accomplish in the future.” “These students have not only done important work in support of people in need – they’ve also shown their peers that young people can, and do, create meaningful change,” said Christine Handy, president of NASSP. “We commend each of these young volunteers for all they’ve contributed to their communities.”

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) develops drinking water Health Advisories (HAs) to provide information on contaminants that can cause human health effects and are known or anticipated to occur in drinking water. These HAs are not enforceable. The HAs are intended to provide technical guidance to public water supply systems and public health officials when contamination situations arise. The guidance includes limits in drinking water below which health effects are not expected to occur.

They began farming in Minnesota and a year later returned to Humboldt County and sharecropped farms near Humboldt, Livermore, Thor, and Hardy. In 1995 they moved into a home in Hardy. Following Clarence’s death in 2005, Margaret continued to live in Hardy until moving to Humboldt Care Center North in February 2019. She retired as Hardy’s Postmaster in 2005 at the age of 79 after 30-plus years serving first as the post office clerk and then the postmaster. Margaret is survived by

The Mason-Lindhart Funeral and Cremation Service of Humboldt was in charge of arrangements.

Thousands of boaters expected on Iowa waters for Memorial Day weekend The peak season for boating in Iowa usually begins with the Memorial Day weekend when tens of thousands of boats hit the water, many for the first time for the year. Susan Stocker, boating law administrator and education coordinator for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, is encouraging boaters to spend a few minutes going through the boat in their driveway to help avoid problems later on the ramp or water. Lifejackets should be in good condition and the right size for each person onboard. Check the fire extinguisher, boat and trailer lights, whistle, and throwable floatation. Boaters are reminded about the requirement that drain plugs and other water draining devices must be removed and/or remain open during transport to avoid spreading invasive species. Anglers leaving with fish are recommended to put them on ice, whether in a cooler, a bucket or a live well (plug must still be removed and/or opened). Just like any party on land, boaters should plan ahead to have a designated sober operator that is cautious with speed and on the lookout for other vessels. It would also help the boat operator to have a passenger watch for floating or submerged obstacles that may have washed in or shifted from spring rains and runoff. “We promote safety on the water all year long, but especially in the spring when our boating skills may be a little rusty, and the water may be stained from spring rains and runoff that can hide obstacles just under the surface,” Stocker said.

In 2018, there were 32 reported boating incidents on Iowa waters: 17 of those were personal injury; 7 were property damage incidents and 8 resulted in fatalities. Iowa has more than 231,000 registered boats. BOATING SAFETY TIPS

• Wear your lifejacket - it floats, you don’t. • Alcohol and boating don’t mix. Wind, sun glare and heat can enhance the effects of alcohol hindering the operator’s ability to make decisions. • Check for open ramps or water hazards before heading out. • Before leaving the house, check the trailer lights, wheel bearings and the hitch. • Make sure there is a current fire extinguisher and horn/whistle, a wearable life jacket for everyone and a USCG approved flotation device onboard. • File a float plan with a friend, including your destination, expected time of return and type of boat. • Inflatable lifejackets are light weight, comfortable and USCG approved. Wear it. • Take a boater education course available online at http://www.iowadnr.gov/ Things-to-Do/Boating/Boater-Education. It has valuable information and many insurance companies will offer a discount on boat insurance. Familiarize yourself with Iowa’s boating laws. • Top two safety violations in Iowa are having inadequate life jackets and operating too fast and too close to other vessels.

Help stop aquatic hitchhikers The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds all boaters and anglers to “Clean, Drain, and Dry” their boats and equipment this Memorial Day weekend to protect Iowa lakes and rivers from aquatic hitchhikers. Aquatic hitchhikers are invasive species – everything from zebra mussels to Eurasian watermilfoil – that move from one waterbody to another by hitchhiking on boats, in bait buckets and on other equipment used in the water. They often grow quickly and spread fast when brought to another lake or stream due to lack of natural controls. “The best way to control the negative impacts of aquatic invasive species in Iowa is to prevent their spread to new waterbodies,” said Kim Bogenschutz, aquatic invasive species coordinator for the Iowa DNR. These aquatic invasive species can create serious problems for Iowa waters by reducing native species and making lakes and rivers unusable for boaters, anglers and swimmers. Boaters and anglers can unintentionally spread aquatic hitchhikers if they do not take the proper precautions each time they leave a lake or river. CLEAN any plants, animals, or mud from your boat and equipment before you

leave a waterbody. DRAIN water from all equipment (motor, live well, bilge, transom well, bait bucket) before you leave a waterbody. DRY anything that comes into contact with water (boats, trailers, equipment, boots, clothing, dogs). Before you move to another waterbody either: Spray your boat and trailer with hot or high-pressure water; or Dry your boat and equipment for at least five days. Never release plants, fish, or animals into a water body unless they came out of that waterbody and empty unwanted bait in the trash. It is illegal to possess or transport prohibited aquatic invasive species. It is illegal to transport any aquatic plants on water-related equipment in Iowa. Signs posted at public accesses remind boaters to stop aquatic hitchhikers and identify infested waters. Boaters must also drain all water from boats and equipment before they leave a water access and keep drain plugs removed or opened during transport. It is also illegal to introduce any live fish, except for hooked bait, into public waters. Find more information about aquatic invasive species and a list of infested waters in the current Iowa Fishing Regulations or at https:// www.iowadnr.gov/ais.

Humboldt man uninjured in vehicle rollover north of Humboldt Rent-All The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) responded to an unusual single-vehicle rollover accident that totaled an older model Ford pickup, but the driver escaped injury. The HCSO was called to Montana Avenue on Tuesday, May 7, at 4:04 p.m., for a rollover accident. According to the report, a 1998 Ford Ranger pickup driven by Kyle D. Soenen, 39, of Humboldt, was northbound on Montana Avenue, following a lawn mower. An unknown vehicle was traveling southbound and kicked up dust, altering Soenen’s vision. When the dust settled, he was coming up close to the lawn mower. Soenen told the HCSO that he swerved to miss it and entered the east ditch where the older model pickup rolled three-quarters of a turn, coming to rest on the passenger side. Kyle D. Soenen was not injured. His 1998 Ford pickup was totaled in the accident with an estimated $2,000 damage. No charges were filed. The HCSO was called to a hit-and-run accident in the town of Thor on Friday, May 10. The accident was reported to have occurred around 7:30 p.m. According to the report, a 2002 Buick LeSabre Limited was parked in angled parking south of the Thor Fire Station. The owner said when she returned to the car she discovered damage to the rear driver’s side and the Buick had been pushed approximately two feet forward. There was an estimated $3,000 minor damage to the Buick LeSabre. IN OTHER RECENT NEWS: APRIL 26

Northwest Bank celebrates Financial Literacy Month with Humboldt students! Northwest Bank employees shared an important lesson on saving money to Humboldt students as part of the American Bankers Associations’ Teach Children to Save Day! The educational presentation involves bankers teaching students financial skills through activities, interactive scenarios and sharing real-life experiences. The lessons cover the basics of saving, how interest makes money grow, how to cut spending, bill management, how to create a budget and how to distinguish needs

from wants. The ABA Education Foundation’s Teach Children to Save Program along with other financial education initiatives have reached 10.5 million young people with the help of more than 260,000 bankers who increase financial literacy through hands-on learning and raise awareness about the important role that banks and bankers play in helping young people develop lifelong saving habits. “Familiarizing students with financial education fundamentals at an early

age puts them on a path to becoming smart moneymanaging adults,” said Doug Berte, Bank President. “Teach Children to Save is a great opportunity for us to share our passion for financial education and improve our local community.” Northwest Bank was able to educate over 1,761 students this year. We are truly passionate about educating our youth about financial literacy and look forward to these special events each year giving our youth a foundation for financial success in the future.

Wildcats advance 13 events to state track Humboldt wins team title at Carroll By PHIL MONSON

While his team has won every single meet they have competed in this season, Humboldt boys’ track coach Greg Wickett and his squad have focused on peaking at the end of the season. Humboldt came full circle last Friday night (May 10) in a Class 3A state qualifying meet held in Carroll by winning the team title and advancing 13 events to the state meet in Des Moines. The Wildcats scored 157 points to surpass a talented Atlantic team, which was second with 143. Humboldt won five events and placed second in five other events to earn automatic berths in the state meet. They picked up three additional positions in the state meet based on performances. “It has been a while since we have won a team title in a qualifying meet. You don’t necessarily approach those with the idea you are going to try and win the team title,” Wickett said. “You are looking for the best combinations to get as many events to state as possible.” “But our team is pretty deep and we thought we

could fill in some holes with some guys who can definitely score some points and the kids really stepped up tonight to beat a really good Atlantic team,” Wickett said. “They were state runners-up last year. They are one of the best teams around so it was nice to get a team win with them.” “It was definitely a tough qualifying meet. Some of those guys in that meet will be state champions next week. A lot of those guys will be going in seeded number one in those events,” Wickett said. “We definitely had to fight for everything we had.” Humboldt’s first-place finishes last week include Joey Busse in the 110-meter high hurdles (15.84), Quinton Orr in the 3,200 meters (1:34.74), the 4x100 relay, the sprint medley relay and the shuttle hurdle relay. The 4x100 relay (44.10) consisted of Jamison Heinz, Cale Hundertmark, Tyler Vitzthum and Matt Miller while the shuttle hurdle relay, which finished in 1:01.53, was comprised of Sawyer Savery, Caden Mat- Joey Busse, shown here winning the 110-meter hurdles for Humboldt in the recent conference track meet, earned a trip to state in the event last week after winning in a state qualifying meet at Carroll on May 10. son, Busse and Vitzthum.

Competing in a qualifying meet which included the defending state champion, the Humboldt girls’ track team more than held their own and placed third in the team scoring of the Class 3A qualifier in Carroll on May 10. Humboldt qualified seven events into this week’s state championships, to be held May 16-18 at Drake Stadium in Des Moines. Humboldt totaled 104 points to finish behind Glenwood (182) and Atlantic (108). Creston was third with 98 in the eight-team field, where the first and second-place finishes automatically qualified for the state meet, along with the next best entries statewide to round out the field of 24 entries. “We got a number of events advanced to the state level, which we are very

pleased with,” Humboldt coach Dean Clasen said. “In many cases our girls performed very well. We had a few situations where I’m sure the kids can look back and wish they could do it over again, but that’s the nature of it. You don’t get to do over. In a meet like this you trust the training you’ve done and go out and compete as hard as you can, regardless of the event,” Clasen said. Sophomore discus thrower Kendal Clark was first with a school record throw of 132-7. Bryce Gidel was second in the 3,000 meters in 11:06.60, finishing behind Glenwood senior and Iowa State recruit Janette Schraft, who timed 11:00.69. Carlie Thompson also earned a trip to state by finishing second in the 100 meters in 13.38 seconds. The Wildcats’ shuttle hurdle was also second and advanced with a time of 1:08.06.

Kailee Dettmann and Lily Groat comprised the relay for the Wildcats. Groat’s third-place time in the 400 meter hurdles 1:09.46 was good enough to earn a state trip. Paige DeWinter ran third in the 200 meters in 26.85 seconds, which also qualified for state. The Wildcat distance medley relay ran third in 4:28.64, good enough to run this week at state. The relay consisted of Mady Lange, Varangkounh, Kirstyn Beaman and Gidel. “Kendal Clark had a really good night in the discus. All of her throws were in the mid to upper 120s and then she threw a new school record of 132-7. That was really nice for her to win,” Clasen said. “Bryce Gidel ran a very efficient race in the 3,000. She runs a lot of races and it takes its toll, but she ran well

Iowa Falls-Alden halted Humboldt’s four-game win streak with a 2-1 victory over the Wildcats on May 6 in Humboldt. Max Mason scored the only goal for the Wildcats. “We outshot them and dominated play, but couldn’t get the ball into the net tonight,” coach Hadar said. “It was our fourth game in five

days, so tired legs was a factor tonight.” Humboldt’s junior varsity traveled to Garner on May 11 and took on host GHV and Spencer. The Wildcats lost 3-1 to GHV and tied Spencer 3-3. “It was a great new event to get our JV players more development time in actual competition. It is a chance to test ourselves against the current level of competition other than practice,” Hadar said. “Everyone got significant minutes but we held ourselves accountable to win.” The Wildcats are at Webster City on May 16 to close out their regular season.

shots you have to lay up and place, specifically because of the water and creek that goes through the entire course.” “I’m glad we got to play it before regionals. A couple of the girls are going to go and practice it again. It’s a flat course, but it has a creek and ponds that go all throughout the course and create a hazard,” Harklau said. “We just had some bad holes.” “Everybody struggled on one hole, which was a par five. I told the girls it was best to do it today instead in the regional meet. They will know what to do and what club to use and how to play each hole,” Harklau said. “You might have to use a pitching wedge and get it on the left side of the fairway so your approach shot to the green will be better. One hole has a tree right in front of the green,” Harklau said. “The course was in really good shape and has some nice, big greens.”

The top two teams and the top six individuals advance to the state meet, to be held May 28-29 at Otter Creek Golf Course near Granger. “Atlantic looks like the team to beat based on scores this season with us behind them,” Harklau said. “As long as we show up and are ready to play, we should be okay.” “I expect everyone to have a bad hole, but still be able to focus on continuing to play and bounce back and shoot well,” Harklau said. “All we can do is trust our swings and do what we have been doing all

Austin Zylstra, a senior on the Northwestern College baseball team this past season, was recently named second-team all-conference by the coaches of the Great Plains Athletic Conference. Zylstra Austin was one of Zylstra five players chosen to post-season honors. Also an all-conference pick as a freshman in 2016, Zylstra solidified the heart of the Red Raiders lineup with his return to the field after missing 2018 due to injury.

He boasted a 99 percent fielding percentage at first base, making just three errors in 281 chances. Northwestern ended its season in a 9-6 loss to the University of Jamestown in the first game of the final day of the GPAC tournament on May 4 in Orange City. The Red Raiders ended their season with an overall record of 23-25. Zylstra had a single with one RBI in four at-bats in the final game of his career for the Red Raiders.

Former Humboldt High baseball standout Chris Witzke and his Des Moines Area Community College baseball team ended their season regional tournament play last weekend. In a regional tournament game played in Clinton on May 10, DMACC fell 10-0 to Kirkwood Community College of Cedar Rapids in a game that lasted just six innings.

Witzke was the third pitched used in the game and the second reliever. He threw two-thirds of an inning facing six batters and allowed two runs (both earned), four walks and one strikeout. DMACC bounced back with a 7-4 elimination game win over NIACC on May 11, then fell 8-3 to Northeast Community College of Nebraska on May 12 to bow out.

DMACC finished the year 38-17 overall and were 21-7 and first in the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference in 2019. They took a No. 1 seed into the tournament. Witzke pitched two-thirds of an inning and gave up two runs in the loss to Northeast. Witzke is a 2016 Humboldt High School graduate.

enough to finish second and qualify for state,” Clasen said. “Our shuttle hurdle relay of Jori, Claire, Kailee and Lily ran their best time of the season at 1:08.06. They have all run very well at different times this season and we just haven’t gotten all four of them to run their very, very best at the same time, so we know there is a little out there – but having said that, they sure ran well tonight,” Clasen said. “Glenwood has a very strong shuttle hurdle team and we were right with them,” Clasen said. “That’s a real credit to those girls and hopefully we can build on that as we move in.” “Carlie was an excellent surprise in the 100 meter dash. She got off to a really fast start and was able to hold people off. Another state qualifier and a great thing for her,” Clasen said. “Paige DeWinter has been pretty consistent and successful in the 200 this season. She got out to slow start and ended up finishing third, so we had to wait another day before finding out she gets to run again, this time at state,” Clasen said on Monday. “Lily Groat’s time in the 400 meter hurdles of 1:09.46 is one of her better times. She gets third but ends up getting a chance to run at state as well,” Clasen said.

“Our distance medley got through running a 4:28.64. Bryce out-leaned a girl at the very end and that ended up being the difference in the race. That group of Mady, Claire, Kirstyn and Bryce all get a chance to race another time and see if we can lower our time some more,” Clasen said. “You look up and down our lineup and you see good performances. Our 4x400 relay ran their season’s best of 4:18. I think our 4x200 and 4x100 relays ran among their best times,” Clasen said. “We had a lot of stuff that was going very well.” “It wasn’t a great night for us but there wasn’t any place in our lineup where we did bad. It was one of those things where we didn’t have our very best time or performance of the season in some areas,” Clasen said. “In looking at it overall, we have a lot of young girls on our team and it was a great experience for them. Most of these girls will be coming back next year and that gives us a chance to build on what we’ve done this season,” Clasen said. “Elizabeth Hildreth closes out her career with a 2:41 split in the 4x800 which was one of her better splits this year. She also ran a 5:37 1,500, which is her secondfastest ever. You like to see people like that end their careers on such a high note,”

The sprint medley relay, which ran 1:34.74, was made up by Vitzthum, Hundertmark, Heinz and Miller. Placing second for the Wildcats was the 4x800 relay of Calvin Carlson, Joe Kunert, Noah Helmer and Eric Wittrock in 8:18.27. Miller was second in the 400 with a PR of 50.24. Tyler Moen of Atlantic was first in 49.68. Heinz finished second in the 200-meters in 22.63 seconds and Quinton Orr was second in the 1,600-meters in 4:36.94. Senior Justin Jones was second in the shot put at 50-11.75. Kunert’s third-place time of 4:37.27 was good enough to qualify for state, along with Owen Terwilliger’s third-place throw of 5010.75 in the shot. Heinz was fourth in the long jump field at 20-8.5. “We had events that we thought had a really good chance to qualify that ended up third or fourth. Even though they didn’t qualify automatically, those guys were in the top 10 statewide, like Jamison in the long jump, Owen in the shot put and Joseph in the 1,600. That shows you how tough the meet was,” Wickett said. “We always talk about trying to peak at the right time and the number of season’s bests and PR’s we had tonight was definitely what we were trying to do and the kids responded well,” Wickett said. “Several of our relays had their best times of the entire year. Several kids had their best performances of the season.”

“Justin Jones put it together tonight and threw the shot two feet further than he has recently and qualified for state to finish second. That was impressive,” Wickett said. “Matt Miller’s 400-meter time was his best of the year so far. Overall I was happy with the way our kids came together,” Wickett said. “The weather was just about perfect. I appreciate all of the schools changing the meet to Friday, because it would have been really miserable had we run it the night before,” Wickett said. “That was a good move and the kids took advantage of it.” Wickett, focused on one more meet, briefly took time to reflect on his team winning the team score on Friday night. “The interesting thing about the perfect season people are talking about is that we had some meets this past season where we necessarily didn’t run everybody hard. In a few of those meets a lot of young kids stepped up and filled in for some of the spots and did a nice job doing what they were supposed to do,” Wickett said. “Every kid on our squad had something to do with us winning every meet this season,” Wickett said. The Class 3A state championship will be held at Drake Stadium in Des Moines Thursday through Saturday (May 16-18). Wickett is entering the state meet with the focus on performing as well as possible in each event and let the

trict competition. Humboldt coach Scott Birdsell looked back on the 2019 season. “For the most part we had a successful season. The only dual meets we lost were to Spencer, Clear Lake and Webster City,” Birdsell said. “The Clear Lake and Webster City meets I think we let get away from us. Only seven strokes away from winning those two meets and the conference dual title.” “We didn’t play well in the conference tournament in Mason City and still got third. It was a miserable weather day for our sectional meet in Orange City, but I have to give the guys credit, they didn’t complain and went out and played in that bad weather.” “We are going to miss our two seniors, Jack Arndt and Hudson Gargano. Those two have been on the varsity for four years and have done a lot of good things for our golf program,” Birdsell said. “I just wish we could have made it to the state tournament one time for them.” “Looking ahead, if we want to keep competing in our conference, we need to practice and play golf in the

Clasen said. “Annie Boyd is another senior who ended her career. She didn’t reach the 34-foot mark that she hit earlier in the season, but a pretty good performance for her overall,” Clasen said. “She’s one of a group of seniors we have to say good-bye to and we appreciate the efforts they had.” “We were in secondplace throughout the meet in the team scoring and ended up getting edged out for third. To score as well as we did against some good teams means we were able to do well in a lot of events,”

Clasen said. “We had a lot of good things going on. I’m real pleased overall.” “We had a fantastic night to compete. The wind was calm and it was 60 degrees. Overall I was pretty pleased with the effort we had Friday night,” Clasen said. State action in 3A begins at 9 a.m. on Thursday, May 16. Look for updates online at www.humboldtnews.com.

] chips fall in terms of where the Wildcats will end up in the Class 3A team race this weekend. The veteran coach is fully aware of how the dynamics are to win a state title. “The thing about state is, one or two really talented kids can carry a team and really score a lot of points and impact the team standings. Guys who can score 30 to 40 points by themselves,” Wickett said. “I don’t know if we necessarily have that kid, but you never know.” “Back in 1995 when we won the state title and in 2007 when we placed third, some of those kids that were kind of in the position we are in now stepped up to get first or second and surprised people. I don’t know what this week will end up being,” Wickett said. “We’ll see if some of our kids step up.” “Somebody told me 11 of our 13 events are in the top 10 going in. If you start in the top 10 and move up a little bit, you can score points. But there are some good teams out there with some great talent. Sergeant Bluff-Luton had a kid who is ranked number one in several events and anchors some relays. The Becker kid from Atlantic is really good. It is a matter of getting the kids to believe that they can and they have the right attitude now going in,” Wickett said. Look for late-night scores and updates online at www. humboldtnews.com.

The statewide program, sponsored by the Iowa Gov-

including the half million dollars in scholarships we provide each year. Our 17year title sponsorship of the Annual Governor’s Scholar Recognition Ceremony is just one way we celebrate Iowa’s exceptional high school students,” said IFBF President Craig Hill. “We all recognize the need for supporting youth, because they hold the keys of Iowa’s continued innovation and economic success,” said Hill. Each high school was invited to select a senior student with the highest academic ranking, based on grade point average for their first seven semesters. Students selected for the award also had the opportunity to recognize their favorite/ most influential teacher and will receive a photo plaque of their meeting with Gover-

nor Reynolds and Lt. Governor Gregg. “The principles learned through academic success, like those learned from participation in educationbased activities, help develop outstanding leaders and citizens,” said IHSAA Executive Director Alan Beste. “The partnership between the IHSAA and the Iowa Farm Bureau, along with the great cooperation of the Governor’s Office has made this prestigious event possible for many years.” Ninety-nine percent of those recognized also participate in extra-curricular school activities, with more than 80 percent participating in at least one interscholastic sport. More than 60 percent of the group plans to continue their education in Iowa.
