Changes made to hospital meeting sCheduleBy CAITLIN WAREGuthrie Center Times

The Guthrie County Hospi-tal Board of Trustees changed the schedule of their monthly meetings during the November 3 meeting.

Previously, meetings have been held on the first Thursday of ev-ery month at 6 p.m. Moving for-ward, they will now be held on the second Thursday of every month at the same time.

The decision was made be-cause hospital CEO Patrick Pe-ters felt it is difficult to present accurate financial reports from the previous month during the meetings. There are only a few days to compile financial data from the month before, much of which does not even come in until the second week of the following month. As a result, the reports given during meetings are often incomplete, because not all of the information has been sent to the hospital yet.

“It’s difficult for us to get num-bers in from all the folks we need to collect data from,” Peters said. “(This way) they’ll be less of us giving you a caveat. More times (the reports) will be better, more accurate, real-time, for you all.”

The board agreed that the new schedule would help create a full-er financial report, and decided to switch weeks. All board meet-ings remain open to the public, and the next one will fall on De-cember 8.

The AC/GC drama depart-ment will present “The Mu-sic Man” this weekend at the high school auditorium in Guthrie Center.

The first production of the funny, warm, roman-

tic and touching musical will be Saturday, Novem-ber 12 at 7:00 p.m. and the second, Sunday, Novem-ber 13 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students.

“We have been working on this production since the end of August, often spend-

ing time together before and after school, as well as work-ing late into the evenings,” said Kelsey Moran, who is directing the production.

In September, the cast was fortunate to take a field trip to Mason City where they toured The Music Man Mu-seum.

“The magnitude of the tal-ented Meredith Wilson was felt, and the story came alive for all of us,” Moran said.

The 35 member cast and crew are comprised of stu-dents who do a little bit of everything at AC/GC, Mo-ran says.

“We are athletes, dancers,

student council and Nation-al Honor Society members, fine arts enthusiasts, FFA and FCCLA members, and the list goes on,” she said. “We are proud of the well-rounded students we get the privilege to work with.”

World War ii bombardier shares memories for Veteran’s dayBy CAITLIN WAREGuthrie Center Times

Floyd Sayles sat in an over-stuffed black leath-er recliner with a matching black photo album resting at his feet. As the 93-year-old’s weathered hands flipped through the clear plastic pages, he grinned.

“It’s mostly girlfriends,” he said with a chuckle.And he’s right. Scattered across each of the

pages are yellowing black and white photos of young women, many with a love note to Sayles scrawled on them.

“I was engaged to her,” he said, and gestured to a small picture of a slender woman outside a house.

“I was engaged to her too,” he added, pointing to an image of another woman with a short bob. “But she broke up with me because she caught me dancing with another gal at a night club.”

His hand paused over a snapshot of a bru-nette with a wide smile and porcelain skin: the woman he ultimately married, Patricia. She was as beautiful as in the photo all the way until she passed away seven years ago, Sayles said.

ASHLEY SCHABLE, Editor

The scrapbook is a visual doc-umentation of Sayles’ life be-tween 1942 and 1946, when he was in the U.S. Navy Air Corps during World War II. Mixed in with the photos of flings of the past are pictures of him with a mop of sandy hair, looking too young to be wearing a uniform, thanks to a lack of facial hair. From pictures of his first days of enlistment and his fellow military “buddies,” to photos of nights out on the town and a standoff with Japanese soldiers, Sayles chronicled just about every experience he had dur-ing the war.

Originally from Des Moines, Sayles enlisted at 18, right af-ter graduating from Dowling High School. At first, he des-perately wanted to be a pilot. He made it through all of the necessary tests, until he was disqualified for having a cur-vature in his spine, left behind

by childhood polio.“So I said, ‘Ok, if I can’t be

a pilot, I’d like to be a bom-bardier,’” Sayles said. “All red-blooded American boys want-ed to fly back in those days. And bombardier was the best I could do.”

During the Great Depres-sion, Sayles went around his neighborhood shooting squir-rels and rabbits, and sold them for 10 cents each. All of the practice made him an excel-lent shot, and an ideal candi-date for sighting and releasing bombs from planes. He went on to boot camp in Chicago, and eventually served by bombing Japanese ships during the war. He flew a PBY-Catalina plane — which he and other pilots affectionately called “black cats,” because of their color and official name.

“I could hit a Volkswagon from 10,000 feet,” Sayles re-called.

To this day, Sayles does not like sharing “war stories” about his time in the Philip-

pines, Hawaii, Guantanamo Bay, and other places he served. Instead, he prefers to remember the times that made him laugh, despite often being so scared he found himself in tears. One of those memories took place during a volunteer mission in Borneo, an island in Asia. He and his crew had been assigned the task of flying into the area and gathering intelligence on where Japanese troops were going to build a railroad. Dur-ing the trip, they flew over a spot where Japanese soldiers were stationed. They were given strict instructions not to drop any bombs or hurt any of the soldiers. But Sayles could not resist a prank. He and his crew dumped a case of beer over the side of the plane, and watched as the men below panicked, while the bottles whistled like bombs on their way down.

“It was the funniest thing any of us had seen in a while,” Say-les said. “I think that’s a cute story, rather than blood and machine guns and stuff.”

Another time, while stationed in Samar — an island in the Philippines — Sayles woke up one morning to find his whole face was swollen. After a trip to the doctor’s tent, he found out he had been bitten by a tarantula.

“I said, ‘Oh shit, I’m dead, huh?’” Sayles remembered.

Fortunately, the bite was treatable, and despite his ini-tial horror, he can now laugh about the incident.

Although Sayles liked to keep things positive, he did end up going to see a psychiatrist while in active duty to cope with the constant fear being in a war zone causes.

“There were lots of times I was so scared I cried,” Sayles said. “I was an 18-year-old kid up on the wing of an airplane loading bombs. Snow flurrying around me. Big loud speakers playing Christmas carols. And

I’m cranking up big bombs get-ting ready to go out to look for a Jap’ sub to bomb. And I had tears in my eyes.”

After the psychiatrist unsuc-cessfully tried to treat Sayles by hypnotizing him, Sayles decided to make a deal with God. He proposed that if he lived through the war, Sayles would settle for dying at 40, instead of living a longer life.

“I said, ‘Instead of me getting killed today, or next week, or living to be 100, how about we make a deal that I’ll live to be 40, and you take me on that day,’” Sayles said. “‘Because I can live a pretty good life be-tween now and then. I can have a wife and family by 40.’ So we made that deal. And when I was 40 years old, my wife (planned) a surprise birthday party. And I (was) still alive. He didn’t take me on my 40th birthday.”

These days, Sayles spends most of his time out at his property on Lake Panorama, which he bought in 1968 for only $5,000. Before settling in Guthrie County, after leaving the military following four years of service, he went on to op-erate a factory in Des Moines, which produced hunting ap-parel. He eventually settled down with his wife Patricia, whom he dated both before and after the war, and raised a family.

Although his military service is now just a chapter in a scrap-book, he still loves to trap and skeet shoot whenever he can to keep his skills sharp. He also enjoys golfing, and spending time with his five children, 19 grandchildren, and four great grandchildren.

“I’m about the happiest guy in the world,” Sayles said. “I live on a little piece of heaven here. I celebrate spring, sum-mer, and fall here, and after a white Christmas with my family, I go to Hawaii for four months. And then I come home to start all over again here. I’m pretty doggone lucky.”

Seasoned public servant Jack Lloyd came out on top after the 2016 election, picking up the Guthrie County Supervi-sor position to represent the 1st District.

Capping off the election with 551 votes, Republican candidate Lloyd outperformed Jerome Caraher — a 28-year-incum-bent in the position — who earned 424 votes.

“I think it’s time for change, get some new blood in there,” Lloyd said in a previous inter-view.

Before running for supervi-sor, Lloyd was on the Bayard city council for six years, and served as the town’s mayor for an additional 14. In his newest political role, he hopes to turn his attention to the bridges and roads within Guthrie County, and ensure they are properly maintained.

In the race for the 5th District Supervisor position, Republi-can incumbent Mike Dickson picked up his third term. Dick-son received 656 votes, putting him ahead of his opponent, po-litical newcomer David Wood, who earned 437. Looking ahead to the next four years, Dickson plans to continue working on making Guthrie County safer, more efficient and more tech-nologically modern.

Marci McClellan ran unop-posed in the race to County Auditor, and received 4,611 votes. There were also 35 scat-tered votes cast. McClellan has almost 20 years of local gov-ernment experience, and her biggest goal for her new posi-tion is to create a strong team environment among the other county offices.

“I am very pleased with the strong show of support, and look forward to serving the citizens of Guthrie County,” McClellan said.

Marty Arganbright also ran unopposed, earning 4,768 votes, and his third term as Guthrie County Sheriff. An additional 94 scattered votes were cast.

“I got into law enforcement to help people and to try to make a difference, that’s what I want to do,” Arganbright said in a previous interview. “I’m looking forward to several more years.”

Tristen Richard won the position of County Recorder with 3,617 votes. Her oppo-nent Rhonda Miller earned 1,644, and there were seven other scattered votes.

Of the 10 candidates on the ballot for a spot on the Guth-rie County Hospital Board of Trustees — an unusually high number — incumbents Chris Schafer and Mary Sheeder were reelected, and newcomer Mike Underwood picked up the third open seat.

Donald Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States.The Republican nominee won early Wednesday morn-

ing after capturing Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes, putting him over the 270 threshold. Trump won Iowa’s six electoral votes.

He upset Democrat Hillary Clinton, who would have be-come the first woman to serve in the Oval Office.

FoUr sTUdenTs selecTed For all-sTaTe choir

Four AC/GC students were selected to participate in this year’s All-State Choir. Being selected for this ensemble is the highest individual music honor available in Iowa. The students include: Klare Sheley, Soprano 2; Malena Rumelhart,

Alto 1; Ross Rumelhart, Tenor 1; and Collin Stowe, Bass 2. The group auditioned together as a quartet.

The 2016 Iowa All State Festi-val will celebrate the 70th anni-versary of the prestigious event. There were six district audition

sites for the 281-piece Band, 201-piece Orchestra, and the 601-piece Choir. Approximately 17 percent of the students who audition are selected for mem-bership for these ensembles. Participants will rehearse in Ames at Iowa State Univer-sity on November 18 and 19, and the Festival Concert will be presented to the public at 7:30 p.m. in the Hilton Coli-seum on Saturday evening, November 19.

Iowa Public Television will record the concert for re-broad-cast and will air on Thursday, November 24 at 7:00 p.m.

On Saturday, October 22, eight AC/GC high school

music students travelled to Atlantic high school

to audition for All-State Band and Choir. Students

auditioning for choir are able to auditions as a solo, duet,

trio, or quartet. Students learn all pieces selected for the

choir and are expected to sing parts a capella from the

pieces in the audition process.

perform a concert that night at 4:00 p.m.

During the week of Sep-tember 19, roughly 16 seventh and eight grade students au-ditioned for the Iowa OPUS Honor Choir. Students who auditioned learned a chunk

from one of the selected pieces and recorded them-selves performing a scale, “My Country Tis of Thee”, and their audition cut. The recordings were sent in on-line and are judged by various choral music professionals.

artist showcase nov. 19 at ed & eva’s

Ed & Eva’s, located in the War-ren Cultural Center on the Green-field Square, will host an Iowa Artist Showcase on Saturday, November 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Iowa artists will be pres-ent to showcase their handmade items.

Veterans Day

honoring america’s veterans includes meeting their unique needs

Many Americans do not real-ize that one in four of all deaths in the U.S. are Veterans. As the nation honors these American heroes for their military service on Veterans Day, November 11, it’s important to remember that they also deserve recognition and compassionate care when dealing with a serious illness.

As a ‘We Honor Veterans’ Hos-pice Partner, Hospice of the Mid-west is providing specialized care to Veterans who are facing a life-limiting illness.

The National Hospice and Pal-liative Care Organization in col-laboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs created ‘We Honor Veterans’ to empower hospice and other healthcare providers across America to meet the unique needs of seriously ill Veterans and their families.

“Through ‘We Honor Veter-ans’ we are taking a giant step forward in helping healthcare professionals and volunteers un-derstand and serve Veterans at the end of life,” said J. Donald Schumacher, NHPCO president and CEO. “It is time that we step

up and acquire the necessary skills and fulfill our mission to serve these men and women with the dignity they deserve.”

Within the WHV program, there are four levels of distinc-tion that Hospice of the Midwest can earn based on its involve-ment with Veteran education and its interaction with the Veterans and their family members that they are caring for. The goal of these levels is to ensure the very best care is being provided to those who have served our coun-try. Hospice of the Midwest has achieved Level 2 of the ‘We Honor Veteran’s’ program and presently working on Level 3.

“We have provided Veteran’s Educational Programing to our staff, to community members as well as held Veteran’s celebra-tions,” Schmumacher said. “Our Veteran patients and spouses receive special recognition for their service and sacrifice. As we celebrate our nation’s heroes this Veterans Day – and every day of the year – we must not forget that it is never too late to give them a hero’s welcome home.”

Hospice of the Midwest is delivering veteran-centric care to those who served our country

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey says the weather was nearly ideal for harvest last week and farmers took advan-tage by harvesting 86 percent of corn and 95 percent of beans statewide.

“The warm and dry weather has also been very good for es-tablishment of cover crops and allowed good progress building new conservation practices and getting other work done on the farmm,” Northey said.

Despite six days suitable for fieldwork statewide during the week ending November 6, 2016, corn for grain and soybean har-vest progress remains behind both the previous year and the five-year average, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. A wide variety of activities were performed dur-ing the week, including chopping and baling corn stalks, tillage, tiling, and manure and fertil-izer applications. Corn for grain

continued to be piled outside as storage be-comes tighter.

Topsoil mois-ture levels rated 1 percent very short, 7 percent short, 85 per-cent adequate and 7 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 5 percent short, 83 percent adequate and 11 per-cent surplus.

Eighty-six percent of the corn crop for grain has been harvest-ed, 4 days behind last year and 1 day behind the five-year av-erage. Moisture content of all corn for grain being harvested in Iowa dropped to 16 percent. Ninety-five percent of the soy-bean crop has been harvested, 1 week behind last year, and 5 days behind normal.

MEMoriAl donATion To AC/GC ArTS dEpArTMEnTS

A Memorial Donation has been made to the AC/GC Arts Departments in the name of Ila Sloss Lydon. Ila lived and worked in the Casey, Guthrie Center and Adair communi-ties. She encouraged her fam-ily (children, grandchildren and great grandchildren) to be involved in music, drama, and art. She enjoyed the en-tertainment provided by all participants in the school sys-tem and communities.

We know it would have made her smile to see the growth and success of three great commu-nities joining to offer a more complete educational oppor-tunity to our youth.

We hope all her friends will honor Ila by attending and sup-porting all arts. Ila will be there in spirit!

Back Pack Programs receive donaTion From

landUs cooPeraTive

“The donation should last all of the programs to the end of the school year in May,” said Scott Fredrickson, Landus Co-operative Feed Merchandising manager.

The donation is part of the Main Course Project, whose goal is to provide these nutri-tious food sources in backpacks that is distributed through local, backpack programs supported by Drive to Feed Kids. These backpack programs struggle to provide protein to children due to the lack of shelf-stable options and the expense.

Through the Main Course Project, programs ensure that backpacks containing Main Course Project meat sticks pro-vide the necessary protein they need to maintain a nutritious, healthy diet.

According to Drive to Feed

Kids, protein is a vital nutrient needed for proper development and often times is overlooked in a child’s diet. Proteins provide amino acids, the building blocks of growth for children to pro-duce things like enzymes and hormones, build muscle tissue, skin and bones and transport nutrients. Unlike other protein sources, animal protein is the only complete protein, provid-ing the nine essential amino acids to healthy development.

These nutrients first go to maintain vital body functions and then toward physical growth and development. Lastly, pro-teins go toward brain develop-ment. This is why adequate pro-tein is needed to not maintain not only physical growth and development but brain devel-opment.

A child can look normal but

may not be getting sufficient nutrients for normal brain de-velopment leading to learning problems, cognitive thinking issues, social and behavioral disorders. This is why the high-ly nutritive, high quality meat protein is so vital for young, developing children.

For more information about the Main Course Project and how to participate, visit www.drivetofeed.com.

Jazz singer max Wellman to perform at Warren Center

Jazz vocalist Max Wellman will bring his vintage style to the War-ren Cultural Center on Saturday, Nov. 19, 7 p.m., as part of the cen-ter’s Premier Performance Series. This central Iowa favorite is quickly gaining national attention, match-ing his smooth tenor voice to jazz trios and big bands alike, draw-ing favorable comparisons to the sounds of Sinatra and Connick.

Tickets are on sale now at Ed & Eva’s store in the WCC, 154 Public Square, Greenfield; by phone at 641-743-2566, or online at www.warrenculturalcenter.com. Admis-sion for open seating is $25 for adults; $10 for students (under 18). Doors to the Norman Lear Theater open at 6:15 p.m. for the 7:00 p.m. concert. Wine, beer, soft drinks and snacks will be available.

Coming off the release of his full-length big band album, ‘Just In Time,’ Wellman is serving as the first entertainment director at Noce, a new state-of-the-art jazz club in the heart of downtown Des Moines. He can be found regu-larly performing there, as well as at The Drake Hotel’s Coq D’or on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago.

Over the years, Wellman’s re-cordings ‘Comes Love’ EP (2009) and ‘Max Wellman Live with His Big Band’ (2010) have earned rave reviews, as was ‘You Must Believe In Spring’ (2014). He also routinely sells out his Songbook Project sub-scription service – a project that sheds light on dozens of treasured standards every year.

Wellman will be joined on stage by Ron Roberts on guitar and Steve Charlson on bass. Roberts is a Chi-cago area native who worked ex-tensively in the Chicago jazz scene before moving to Ames to pursue his “day job” in engineering re-search at ISU. Charlson is equally versed in classical and jazz mu-sic, playing with the Des Moines Symphony among others. He has enjoyed a successful career play-ing alongside the likes of Rose-mary Clooney, Mel Torme, The Les Brown Band, & many more.

The WCC’s Premier Series is made possible by the support of these sponsors: Adair County Abstract Co., Adair County Farm Bureau & Farm Bureau Financial Services, Adair County Health Systems, FNB Bank, Greenfield Fareway, Greenfield Rehabilita-tion and Healthcare Center, Ha-vens Accounting, Clint Hight PC, Marion E. James P.C., Jungmann Law Office, Olesen Law Firm, Pro Team Insurance, Jensen Law Of-fice, Southwestern Community College, Stalker Chevrolet, Taylor Financial, Varley Law Office, and Union State Bank.

Landus Cooperative and its Feed Ingredient Supplier NutraBlend Corp has donated 5,500 meat sticks to the area Back Pack programs at elementary schools in Panora, guthrie Center, Adair and Stuart as part of the Main Course Project. Scott Fredrickson (left), Landus Cooperative Feed Merchandising manager and Sarah Carstens, co-coordinator of the back pack program at Panorama Elementary School are pictured with the donated meat sticks. The donation should last all of the programs until the end of the school year next May.

Max Wellman is serving as the first entertainment director at Noce, a new state-of-the-art jazz club in the heart of downtown Des Moines. He can be found regularly performing there, as well as at The Drake Hotel’s Coq D’or on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago.

review gear before shotgun deer seasons begin

hunter education classes filling quickly

Iowa DNR

The fist of Iowa’s shotgun deer seasons begin Decem-ber 3 giving hunters ample time to get their gun, cleaned, oiled and patterned before heading to the timber.

“Most hunters want their guns sighted in for deer sea-son. We suggest they come to a shooting range and begin at 25 yards and work out dis-tances where they feel com-fortable taking a shot in the field,” said Megan Wisecup, hunter education adminis-trator for the Iowa Depart-ment of Natural Resources. “Practicing and knowing how the gun will perform before opening day is a good way to prepare for a successful hunt.”

Ranges managed by the Iowa Department of Natu-ral Resources can be found at http://www.iowadnr.gov/Hunting/PlacesToHuntShoot/IowaShootingRanges.aspx

Sighting in the gun one part of a pre-hunt checklist hunters should have that in-cludes visiting with the land-

owner or landowners where they plan to hunt to confirm they have access, go through their equipment including the blaze orange to make sure it is in working order and the blaze orange hasn’t faded to noncompliance.

“Hunters want to be seen by other hunters so we en-courage them to wear more than the minimum amount of blaze orange required by law. Blaze orange can fade after years of wear so be sure that vest, hat or jacket is still bright and in good shape, or replace it before the season begins,” Wisecup said.

Hunters in Iowa’s two shot-gun deer seasons often use a technique of hunters push-ing the timber forcing deer toward other hunters who are blocking their exit. While this is a popular technique, it is not the only way to participate.

Individual hunters or those in groups of two or three can approach the hunt by focusing on deer travel lanes, bedding areas or food sources similar to the approaches taken by muzzleloader or bow hunters.

Iowa DNR

Hunters who need to satisfy the hunter education require-ment need to act quickly – a few seats for the classroom courses are still available in November, but students will need to travel to participate. Classes can be found online at www.iowadnr.gov/huntered.

Prospective students can see which courses or field days are near them; how many seats are available for the class or if the class is full and a waiting list is available. There is also a map showing the location along with the instructor’s name, a course overview and any special in-structions.

Iowa law requires all hunt-ers born after Jan. 1, 1972 to satisfactorily complete a hunter education course in

order to purchase a license. Children as young as 11 may enroll in the course, but their certificate of completion will not become valid until their 12th birthday.

Each year, around 12,000 students complete hunter education in Iowa.

Online Only Course Op-tion for Adults

The online only course for adults is designed for Iowa residents 18 years of age or older that have prior hunt-ing and/or firearms handling experience.

The course covers the same material as the class-room course, allowing the student to complete the en-tire course, including the fi-nal test, in an online setting. Certification is received at the successful completion of the online course.

GUTHrIE COUNTY BOArD OF SUPErVISOrS

rEGULAr SESSION OCTOBEr 25, 2016

The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors met in regular session with the following mem-bers present: Jerome Caraher, Tom Rutledge, Everett Grasty, Clifford Carney and Mike Dick-son. The meeting began at 9:00AM.

Motion Grasty seconded Rutledge to ap-prove the agenda. All ayes.

Robert Ammann, with Elderbridge Agency on Aging reviewed their FY15-16 annual report with the board. The return on the County’s investment with Elderbridge for FY15-16 was 2850%. Ammann requested funding for FY17-18 of $8,170.95 or $2.85 per senior in Guthrie County per the 2010 census.

Motion Caraher seconded Grasty to ap-prove Elderbridge Agency on Aging’s FY17-18 funding request of $8,170.95. All ayes.

Minutes for 10/18/16 and 10/20/16 were reviewed and approved.

Claims in the amount of $483,365.97 were reviewed and approved.

Stephen Patterson told the board that the new scales at the transfer station were up and running but that the stop and go lights were not up yet. Patterson gave the hauling fees from surrounding counties and proposed wording to put on the recyclable bin. The board was fine with the wording of depositing of non-recyclable items in or around the recy-cling bins is considered littering and may be prosecuted as such.

Patterson gave the board a copy of the current hauling agreement to review as a start-ing point in writing a RFP for hauling services for the transfer station. There was discussion as to whether it should be per load or per ton. Patterson said that if per ton pricing was re-quested that there would need to be two rates one for garbage and one or recycling. There was discussion on the minimum cubic yards of capacity and the number of axels that would be required for tractors and trailers. Rutledge was going to look into the requirements stated in the current agreement and get back with Patterson. Patterson will have a draft RFP for hauling services for the transfer station on 11/03/16 for the board to review.

Josh Sebern and Evan Subbert opened bids for the re-letting for HC14-3. Bids were opened and the apparent low bidder was J&K Contracting with a bid of $101,030.00. Se-bern and Subbert will review the bids and the contract will be awarded next week.

Rutledge told the board that the survey stakes were set at the County home and ready for the board’s review.

Motion Carney seconded Rutledge to ad-journ at 10:40AM. All ayes.

rEGULAr SESSION OCTOBEr 27, 2016

The Guthrie County Board of Supervisors met in regular session with the following mem-bers present: Jerome Caraher, Everett Grasty and Clifford Carney. The meeting began at 9:00AM.

Motion Grasty seconded Caraher to ap-prove the agenda. All ayes.

Marty Arganbright gave the monthly hours and activity reports for Guthrie Center to the board. Kent Gries and Arganbright spoke to the board about current scams and skimmers used to get credit card information. Gries showed the board examples of evidence that needs to be destroyed and reviewed the pro-cess that has to be followed to gain permission to destroy it.

Dave Garland gave the board an IT update. Garland was able to use the new wiring put in by Thinkspace to network a new printer in the Sheriff’s office. Garland suggested the board consider refreshing and updating the County’s website. The board asked for a quote on up-dating the website and Garland suggested to make the quote more accurate that depart-ment heads have input on what changes or information they would like posted for their departments. A meeting will be scheduled.

Andrew Randol thanked the board for hav-ing an engineer who has patience and was willing to work with Panora Telco. on the fiber project to come up with a solution that worked for the County and Panora Telco.

The survey of the County home was dis-cussed. It will be put on the 11/01/16 agenda for a decision.

Motion Grasty seconded Carney to adjourn at 10:05AM. All ayes.

Senior Ross Rumelhart stars as Harold Hill and Moran said it was as if the part was written just for him.

“He brings such a special spark of enthusiasm, we call it chan-neling his inner Harold,” Mo-ran said. “This young man had the infamous “Ya Got Trouble” song memorized not a week after the cast list was posted,” Moran said. “And if anyone knows this incredibly long-winded, wordy tune, you know this is no small undertaking.”

AC/GC sophomore Klare She-ley plays leading lady, Marian Paroo, River City’s only piano teacher, whose moral standards are really quite high.

“This little lady has truly blos-somed in the fine arts depart-ments, as she continues to amaze

Moran said the production has an amazing pit orchestra under the direction of Kyra Babcock. It’s comprised of local talent, as well as teachers and community members from the surround-ing areas.

“It has truly been a joy to work with these talented individuals,” Moran said. “I hope you make time this weekend to come and enjoy this magical production.”

soybean harvest in southwest and south central Iowa con-tinues to lag behind the rest of the State.

Grain movement from farm to elevator was rated 62 percent moderate to heavy. Off-farm grain storage availability was rated 69 percent adequate to surplus. On-farm grain stor-age availability was rated 62 percent adequate to surplus.

Livestock conditions were de-scribed as excellent with drier than normal feedlots for this time of year when compared to the previous 2 years.

It was an exceptionally mild week across Iowa with temper-atures averaging well above normal every day resulting in weekly temperatures of 12.4 de-grees above normal. Afternoon high temperatures reached 70 degrees or higher somewhere in the state every day of the week with Donnellson recording the highest temperature at 81 de-grees on Tuesday (1st). A handful of locations barely dipped below

the freezing mark on Thursday (3rd) and Friday (4th) morn-ings. Battle Creek reported the lowest temperature with 30 de-grees on Thursday morning. The only rain of consequence came Tuesday night into Wednesday afternoon when showers and thunderstorms were widespread over the southeast one-half of Iowa. A few locations picked up more than an inch of rain during this mid-week event but most places saw less than one-quarter inch. There was also some scattered drizzle or very light rain over portions of north-ern and western Iowa on Mon-day (31st). Donnellson report-ed the most rain for the week with 1.61 inches while most of the northwest one-half of the state, plus small areas of south-west and south central Iowa saw no measurable rain. The statewide average precipitation was 0.17 inches while normal for the week is 0.55 inches. Fi-nally, soil temperatures at the four inch depth were averag-ing near 50 degrees in extreme northwest Iowa to the upper fifties in the southeast corner as of Sunday (6th).

Footballcross country

Landon Foster Cale Billheimer Ross Rumelhart Logan Scheuermann

By CAITLIN WAREGuthrie Center Times

After starting out the season in a point of transition due to the merger between the Adair-Casey and Guthrie Center school districts, AC/GC High School’s boys cross country team went on to cruise into third place in their class at the state meet.

For the senior members of the team, the triumphant end of the season also meant the end of their cross country ca-reers at AC/GC. With the state meet over and done with, four members of the team have run their last strides on the home course, and sat down with the guthrie Center Times to share their thoughts. THE NEWCOMER

When it comes to sports, Lo-gan Scheuermann, 18, is a jack-of-all-trades. Over his almost four years in high school, he’s played football and baseball, was on the wrestling team, and ran track. But one sport he was never involved with was cross country. That is, until a football injury early this season left him unable to play his senior year.

“I had to stay in shape some-how, so I figured I’d try cross country instead of idling,” Scheuermann said.

He soon found that the sport was more than a way to stay physically fit. Not only did he enjoy bonding with his new teammates, he learned just how hard he could push himself.

“I really wish I would have started doing cross country at a younger age,” Scheuermann said. “It was a lot of fun. It’s a lot of fun being around the team and the energy that we had.”

Although he only got to run with the team for one season, Scheuermann is proud to have been a part of it. He believes he performed better as a long distance runner than he could have predicted, and the team’s overall achievements exceeded any expectations he had.

As of now, Scheuermann is not sure what he wants to do after graduating in the spring. He is weighing his options be-tween attending the University of Iowa, where he would play baseball, and going to Central College, where he would wres-tle and play baseball. Whatever school he chooses, he plans to pursue a “premed” program, and later go to medical school.THE “POSITIVE ONE”

For Ross Rumelhart, 17, the decision to join the cross country team his junior year stemmed from severe boredom. He had too much free time on

his hands, and wanted to try something new. So he decided to give cross country a shot. His younger sister was already in-volved, and it looked like fun. Little did he know how much he would end up liking it.

“Last year I did it, and I (was) like, ‘Wow, I feel really good after doing this,’” Rumelhart said. “It was more the feeling of running, I really enjoy it. I decided to do it again because why not.”

The more time that went on, the more Rumelhart began to notice the positive results run-ning brought into his life. He is a naturally creative person, and found that running cleared his head, and inspired him musi-cally and artistically. His self confidence grew, his physical health improved and perhaps most importantly, he had fun doing it. His genuine enjoyment of running cross country, and his desire to see his teammates succeed, is why people dubbed him as the one who brings a “positive aura” to the team.

“It’s a great recreation,” Ru-melhart said. “Running longer distances has given me some time to think and reflect on who I am. It’s taught me how to be a better person overall.”

Personally, Rumelhart was thrilled to have met his goals for himself during his final season. Since joining the cross coun-try team, he wanted to get his time for the roughly 3.1 mile races down to 22 minutes. His first year he came close, with a personal record of 23:40. This season, he was able to bring his personal record to 21:48.

“I think I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish,” Ru-melhart said. “It’s not really about how high you place, at least not for me. I’m more fo-cused on myself and basically not stopping during a race.”

Rumelhart already knows what the immediate future holds for him. After graduation, he will be attending Northwest Mis-souri State University to study computer science, and pick up a minor in music. He is not sure if the school has a cross country team. But if it does, he would like to practice with them, al-though he does not anticipate officially joining the team and competing at a collegiate level. THE ExPERIENCED ONE

Up until this season, Cale Bill-heimer, 18, was a cross coun-try runner for the Adair-Casey Bombers. But after the AC/GC merger, he suited up in Char-ger black and gold and hit the course.

Billheimer started running in the eighth grade, when a senior

suggested he go out for cross country. From there, he never looked back.

“I just enjoyed it all around,” Billheimer said. “I felt like I was pretty good at it, so I should keep going.”

Billheimer, a three-time state cross country participant, be-lieves he ended his final high school season the way he want-ed. Not only did the newly formed team perform above and beyond anything he could have predicted, but he finished the season running his best, with a time of 16:49.

“We did a lot better than I ever thought we would,” Billheimer said. “We won like five meets, which is more than I thought we’d win. (We were a) state team, and got third there. I felt like I ran where I should have been.”

Looking ahead, Billheimer plans to continue running cross country at the collegiate level, and is looking at Simpson Col-lege or Buena Vista University. He would like to major in politi-cal science, or sociology.THE VETERAN

Landon Foster, 17, has been on the cross country team since he was in middle school. It all started with his dad encourag-ing him to join. At first, he did it just to give it a try. But he did so well at his first junior high meet that he stuck with it for the next six years.

Foster believes that things turned out well his last season. Last year, the cross country team was small, and did not perform at top standards. The school

merger brought in more run-ners, and new friendships, and the team excelled all the way to the state meet.

“It really strengthened our team, which helped a lot,” Foster said. “I think we all got along really well from the start. I think cross country has more of a family aspect than any other sports I’ve ever been involved in. I think we’re really well bonded most of the time, and I think I’ll miss the family aspect of things.”

Personally, Foster met his goal for the season by mak-ing it into the top 15 group of runners at the state meet. Ad-ditionally, he thinks his time on the cross country team taught him a lot about himself, and what he can accomplish.

“I think it teaches you a lot about yourself, about how far you can push yourself,” Foster said. “Distance running is 80 or 90 percent mental. If you’re willing to work harder and push yourself harder than anyone else, you can do great things.”

After graduation, Foster will enlist in the Marine Corps Re-serve, and head to boot camp immediately. From there, he plans to attend college and study agricultural business. He is not sure where he wants to go yet. He would like to study at Iowa State University. However, he might end up going else-where for two years and then transfer. Either way, finding a school where he could con-tinue running is in the back of his mind.

On Saturday, October 29, FC-CLA hosted a haunted house at the AC/GC High School for kids 3rd-12th grade. Their goal was to provide fun for the commu-nities and to raise money for the organization. Also, some members used this function for a STAR event project and a Families First project.

FCCLA members sold tick-ets prior to the event at all of the AC/GC school campuses. Decorating took place Friday

night and Saturday morning. When asked if it was suc-

cessful Cathy Lange, FCCLA advisor, responded, “Most def-initely, with everyone’s help made it super easy!”

The group would like to thank Joni Thompson, Mo-nique Smith and Relay for Life for donationating decorations. The group also thanks Crystol Hansen, Lisa, John, and Danny Sherwood for their help. “With-out them it would’ve been im-possible,” says leader, Cathy Lange. A total of over $300.00 was raised. The club’s plan is to do it again next year.

The cross country state quali-fiers Emma Swanson, Kate Craw-ford, Cale Billheimer, and Landon Foster were interviewed about their season before they made the trip down to state last weekend.

Kate was ranked 17, Cale 21, and Landon 22. All four runners agreed it was an amazing feeling making it to state. Swanson said “I was excited, but even more, wanted my team to make it.”

Foster, Billheimer, and Swan-son had goals of placing in the top 15, and Crawford in the top 5.

While running, Crawford had a mind set that when she finished the race, she could eat. Billheimer thought about finishing the race and not letting his brother beat him. Swanson and Foster tried to pass as many people as pos-sible and keep moving.

When asked of their most memorable moment, Foster and Swanson both agreed that when the teams made it state; it was something they would

never forget. Crawford says her most memorable moments were finishing the races with her best friend Swanson.

Billheimer’s best moment was getting his personal record at Stuart, with a time of 16:49.

The four runners were all ner-vous for the weekend, but ex-cited. They all agreed they had a passion to be very good as a team.

Swanson said Crawford pushed her to be her best. Crawford said “At my first meet I won, and it pushed me to even better.”

Billheimer and Foster agreed they wanted their team to win and tried to focus on the guys ahead of them.

Crawford became a state champion, winning the state meet. Swanson got eighth over-all, and Foster got 15th.

The boys team got third and the girls team got 11th.

Swanson said “The season was the best yet because we were not just a team but a family, and that it better than running as an individual.”

On November 12 and 13, AC/GC schools is putting on the mu-sical “Music Man.” This musical is about a man, Harold Hill, who cons people into buying band instruments and uniforms. He then promises them he will help organize the band but leaves and takes their money. It’s on No-vember 12 at 7:00 p.m. and Nov. 13 at 2:00 p.m. and will be in the auditorium. Tickets will be sold at the door and will be $5 for adults and $3 for students.

Hunter Vasey, one of the cast members, is very excited for it.

“I’m very excited to show the community how hard we have worked,” Vasey said. “It’s so cool to see how far we have come in making this a great musical. It’s such a great experience to be in the musical.”

Mikayla Jackson is another member of the musical.

“I think it’s going to be very good and very excited to share it with the community this week-end,” she added.

United Methodist church begins window projectBy CAITLIN WAREGuthrie Center Times

Guthrie Center’s United Method-ist church has begun a preservation project to repair the building’s 25 stained glass windows.

Since 1891, the windows have been a part of the church. They survived the ravages of two fires in the 1900s, and withstood the progress of three building remodels over the years. But over time, the colorful panes of glass have fallen into disrepair, with cracks appearing and leading that has peeled away. To preserve the history and beauty of the glass, a $38,000 fundraising project has been put in motion.

The fundraiser is spearheaded by Becky Carico and Patricia Sleis-ter, both members of the church’s congregation. The windows have held a special place in the wom-ens’ hearts for several years, but up until now, they were unable to get approval from the church’s board to repair them.

“The stained glass windows are a must, that’s our priority now,” Carico said. “It needs to be done. (It’s been) put off for five years.”

When Carico and Sleister first got started on the project this time last year, they thought the best option might be to have the windows re-placed. However, after a represen-tative from a stained glass repair company looked over everything, they found out the type of glass used is so old, it is no longer produced. The representative also said that the glass might have come from Europe, making it very precious.

Based on that information, the women opted to repair the win-dows instead. All of the windows will be repaired on site, to help pre-vent damage or getting lost during transport. In addition to repairing cracks and breaks, and fixing the gaps in the sills, all of the windows will receive a specialty covering to protect against future damage.

To raise the money for the proj-ect, all of the church’s stained glass windows are up for “adoption.” Adoption entails covering the cost to repair an individual win-dow. Donors can combine funds and partner up to adopt, or only put up a portion of the amount needed for a window. And being a member of the congregation is not a requirement for donation. Since the project started at the be-ginning of October, 10 of the 25 windows have been adopted, and about $10,000 has been raised.

“It’s a part of the history of our community that I’d like to see pre-served,” Carico said. “The com-munity has worked so hard the last few years redoing the down-town, and preserving the history of the community. I’d like to see the church be a part of that too.”

To help raise extra funds, do-nations of any amount are being accepted, and “prayer rocks” are being sold for $6 each. The win-dow repair appointment has been

scheduled for April 17, 2017, so all fundraising must be completed by then.

“I was an applied art major at Iowa State, so anything creative like this is just my passion,” Sleis-ter said of her involvement in the project. “My part of it started with kind of a redo and refresh of the sanctuary itself. It just kind of blos-somed from there. It became ob-vious that we needed to do the windows too.”

As an additional part of the proj-ect, Carico and Sleister are trying

to put together an inventory for all of the windows. The inventory will eventually become a pamphlet for self-guided tours, and will include a picture of each window, and a history of the names and symbols on them. Many of the windows in the collection were donated in memory of someone, and feature

different names on them. Others bear intricate designs and sym-bols, the meanings of which are unknown. The women are request-ing that anyone with information on the people listed on the win-dows, or the history of the win-dows themselves, contact them to help compile a record for the

generations to come.“There’s gotta be a story behind

these windows, even if we don’t know it exactly,” Carico said.

To find out more about the proj-ect, submit historical information, or adopt a window, Sleister can be contacted at 641-524-5389, and Carico at 641-747-3697.
