Big BACooN Bike Ride consumes Panora

F
rom Waukee to Adel, Redfield, Linden, Panora, and Yale, up to
Perry and down through Dallas Center and back to Waukee
(with a few other little towns in between) cyclists braved the
humidity to participate in the Iowa “BACooN Ride” Saturday.
The ride took place along the
beautiful Raccoon River Valley
Trail, and all along the way, riders
were tempted with a variety of bacon treats and beverages to wash
them down.
Panora was again one of the
PassPork Lunch stops and it did not
disappoint with it’s Bacon Jalapenos
Popper Sliders.
“We served roughly 3,500,” said
P.J’s owner Joe Weisz of the grilled
sliders. “We saw probably 4,000 bikers and they stayed and partied until about 2:30 -- the live band was
good.”

rocking classics all day, bringing

several cyclists front and center

Bourbon and Whiskey Bacon Bar.
P.J.’s also featured an adult lemonade vodka stand with bacon infused drinks and fresh squeezed
spiked lemonades were stationed
in the beer garden.
“I’d say our most popular this
morning has been the Moscow
mules,” said Chris Piper, who worked
under the tent in his first BACooN
Ride experience. “This is really fun.”
Bikers were also delighted by fresh
fruit smoothies and Bacon pralines
ice cream sundaes at P.J.’s.

When the LPA needed to recruit a new employee to replace a 20-year employee, they didn’t
have to look far. Brad Halterman grew up in
Guthrie Center, graduated from high school
there, and has been working the past 13 years
as natural resources manager for the Guthrie
County Conservation Board.
Halterman started work for the LPA in midMay, replacing Randy Holl, LPA senior administrative assistant, who is retiring the end of
June. Holl’s job title is retiring with him, as
Halterman’s title is project manager. His re-

breast — where her battle with cancer began. Now 20 years since her
initial diagnosis, Nolte-Pinkert, 61,
is cancer free, and plans to share
the story of her experiences with
the disease as the Honorary Survivor Speaker at the 2016 Guthrie
County Relay for Life on Saturday,
June 25 at the Guthrie Center High
School track.
Nolte-Pinkert got involved with
the event after she heard Senior
Community Manager for Relay for
Life Kim Durst in a radio interview
Emily Albers wanted to give
people a little something more
during the annual Fourth of July
festivities in Yale last year, so she
planned the town’s first-ever 3
on the 3rd - a 5K run/walk held
on July 3.
Over 100 individuals showed
up to participate last year and
several more stood at the finish
line to cheer on their friends and
family. In an attempt to continue the fun and grow the event,
Albers is again planning the 5K
run/walk - this year on Sunday,
July 3 at 5:30 p.m.
“I’m looking forward to our
second annual 3 on the 3rd and
really hope it’s just as successful
as last year,” Albers said. “I”m
looking forward to handing out
more medals this year.”
Entry cost is $25, which includes a race day T-shirt. Proceeds go towards the Yale 4th of
July to continue providing new
and exciting activities during the
celebration.

partial Emergency Department
remodel. Phase II will not occur

some disruption during this
time and know that the entire
project is estimated to conclude
by the end of December 2016.

50115 Fest returns
for second year
By CAITLIN WARE
Guthrie County Vedette
Back for the second time, the
Guthrie Center 50115 Fest will
incorporate local businesses,
activities and music into a townwide celebration.
The fest got started last year
because Guthrie Center did not
have a community festival. The
desire for the town to have a
community festival coincided
with the upcoming date at the
time, May 1, 2015, or 5/01/15 —
the zip code of Guthrie Center.
“We decided that [since]
Guthrie County didn’t have a
community festival, we could
build a festival around that,”
said Main Street Guthrie Center
Executive Director Julie Bailey.
The dates did not line up
to reflect the 50115 zip code
again, so the date for the 2016
fest was moved to June 24 to
stand a better chance of having
warm sunny weather.
The lineup for the day starts
with a new addition to this year’s
festivities: the Eulenspiegel Puppet Theatre Company. They will
be at the Mary J. Barnett Library
from noon to 1:30 p.m. to host
a puppet making workshop,
along with Mexican Children
Song and Games afterward
from 2:00 to 2:30.
“They’re absolutely wonderful,” said Bailey of the puppet
company. “They are the utmost
professionals at what they do.
They build all their puppets and
create their own stories. It’s going to be a great addition to
the festival this year.”

Also new to the fest is an antique tractor display held on S.
4th Street between State Street
and Prairie Street, and a bags
tournament. Returning from
last year is the human foosball tournament. For a $30
entry fee, teams of six will get
to compete against each other. All of the money collected
through the entrance fee will
be given back to the winners
of the tournament.
“Obviously as a Main Street
community, we want to give
things back, and that’s one way
in the festival that we can,” Bailey said. “We have the money
in the budget to cover the cost
of the festival. We would rather
give that entry fee back to get
people to come and participate.”
Many local businesses will
have vendor booths, including
Art On State and Dowd Drugs.
In total, there will be 20 vendors open for the fest, in addition to the local restaurants
that will be open.
From 7:00 p.m. until midnight there will be a street dance
on a blocked off portion of N.
4th Street. Admission is $5, and
once inside, participants old
enough to drink can enjoy a
beer garden while listening to
the musical stylings of the Jay
Clyde Band and Elegant Gypsy.
The Jay Clyde Band will perform a mix of country, southern
rock, rock and 80s 90s music.
Elegant Gypsy will lean more
towards a combination of soul,
jazz, and rock.
“It’s a good opportunity to
get together with your friends
and neighbors and have a good
time,” Bailey said. “It’s a great
celebration. Each community should have a festival. We’re
hoping that this continues to
grow each year, and that people
will continue to support it.”

The Fourth of July is best
known for celebrations with
family and friends, enjoying the
summer weather with food and
drinks.
These celebrations often include drinking alcohol which
can lead to impaired driving.
According to the National
Highway Safety Administration, 164 people were killed in
motor vehicle crashes involving
at least one driver with a blood
alcohol concentration of .08 or
higher over the three-day July 4
holiday of 2015.
In reality, 40 percent of the
total fatalities were more than
likely preventable.
The rate of alcohol impairment
for drivers involved in fatal crash-
es was over three times higher
at night than during the day.
To date, there have been 154
fatalities on Iowa roadways this
year, up 31 or 25 percent from
this time last year.
State and local law enforcement agencies will step up their
efforts Friday evening, July 1
through the morning of Tuesday,
July 5 to eliminate drunk drivers
and reduce speeding in order
to protect the motoring public.
What can motorists do to reach
their destination safely, not only
this July 4 but every day?
•Do not drive after drinking
plus plan ahead and arrange a
way to get home.

VERN
SLAYBAUGH
near Yale until Vern retired
from farming in 1972. Then
they moved to Panora where
he worked as machinery
set-up mechanic for the
local John Deere implement dealer. Moving to town
didn’t stop Vern’s passion for
farming. He and Marjorie
had a beautiful garden that
seemed to get a little bigger each year. They canned,
froze and shared the produce
with friends and neighbors.
Many weeks you could find
Vern and Marjorie at the local
farmer’s market selling their
garden produce along with
Marjorie’s baked goods and
bouquets of flowers.
After retirement Vern and
Marjorie took up dancing at
jam sessions every Saturday
evening for many years. For
their 50th anniversary they
celebrated with a dance to
the surprise and delight of
their daughters, family, and
friends. They also enjoyed
traveling in their retirement
years with trips to Alaska, the
Northeast to see the fall colors and the National Parks of
the West with their daughter, Linda. Several times
they traveled to Branson,
Mo, besides trips to see their
daughters and families.
Vern is survived by his
daughters, Verneta Reed of
Anderson, SC; Linda (Red)
Schlichting of Medford, OR;
and Barbara (Denis) Feichtinger of Boise, ID; eight
grandchildren, seven great
grandchildren and a sister-inlaw, Betty Slaybaugh of Guthrie Center. He was preceded
in death by his parents, his
wife, Marjorie; brothers, Ivyl
and wife, Lila, Ollie and wife,
Dorothy, Walter, and his sister, Nyla.

Thank you to the Bowman Chapel ladies for luncheon
preparation and serving.
Thank you to the many relatives and friends who shared
their love, prayers, phone calls and visits. Ted shared with
our family his appreciation for the many people who were
praying for him and that he could feel their prayers like a
loving hug wrapped around him.
God’s Blessing to each of you,
Lila Shoesmith, Gary Shoesmith and friend, Lori Marvin,
Darrell and Young Soon Shoesmith, Bryan Shoesmith and
fiancé Jessican Henderson, Christi and Tim Pierce, Nathan

Whole Grain
Goodness
Whole grain options are
endless…multi-grain, whole
wheat, 100% wheat, bran, or
7-grain. Current recommendation are to make at least half
the grain products in your diet
whole grains. Whole grains
promote heart health, aid
in good digestion, and may
help you maintain a healthy
weight. With all the labeling deception, how do you
know if you are choosing a
whole grain product? When
choosing a grain product, read
the ingredient list. The first
ingredient should be whole
wheat, whole wheat flour,
whole grain, stone ground
whole grain, brown rice, oats/
oatmeal, quinoa, bulgar, graham flour, or wheatberries.
Another good rule of thumb
is to look for the 100% whole
grain or whole wheat stamp
on the package.

President Zajicek presented
a check of $900 to Panorama
superintendent Shawn Holloway as the school’s share of
the Java Jazz Variety Show held
in April.
A new patch for the club banner states it’s the home of past
district governor Pat Parker. The
club will donate $375 to the Lions International Foundation.
Pat Parker presented a plaque
to outgoing president Lynn Zajicek for his service the past year.
Upcoming events for the club
are Relay for Life on June 26,

meeting on July 7 and the July
18 blood drive at the Panora

CHEF
FROM Page 1A
Liz teaches second grade at
Panorama. His father Bill, who
is an LPN golfing member, is an
electrician and owns his own
business. Labath, who turns
30 years old in July, says he’s
spent half of his life cooking
for others. He started cooking
as a 14-year-old in the kitchen at PJ’s in Panora, where he
worked until he graduated
from high school. He moved
to Cedar Rapids and entered
the Kirkwood Community
College culinary program,
graduating in 2009.
While in school, he gained
experience working in a steakhouse, a Marriott hotel, and
in the Cedar Rapids Kernels
baseball stadium kitchen. After graduation, he moved to
North Carolina to work in a
small restaurant in a renovated
house. Next up was four years
in a full-service restaurant. He
also catered some events on
his own, including a few weddings.
Two more jobs allowed Labath to gain additional experience. He worked for Earth
Fare, a chain of health food
stores, where he says he learned
a lot about fresh foods, traveled
and helped open new stores.
He also worked in 2014 at The
Masters for a company that prepared and served food on the
grounds, as well as to people
flying in and out on private jets.
Labath moved back to Iowa
a year ago to work as the head
chef at The Port on Lake Panorama’s main basin. Moving
with him was his girlfriend,
Taylor Marcellino. The pair met
in North Carolina, although
she’s a California native. Once
back in Iowa, Labath proposed
and the couple’s wedding is
June 25 at The
Port.
W hen t he
LPN executive
chef position
opened, Labath says he
decided to apply because he Andrew
saw it as a way Labath
to advance in
his culinary
career. “Working at The Port
was great, but it was more seasonal. At the LPN, I’ll have a
chance to push myself a little harder because it’s busier.
There is a good group of people
working here to help me get
better at every aspect of my
job,” he says.
Labath says he’s lucky to be
joining a kitchen that already
has two experienced employees. Richard Holbrook has been
working in The Links kitchen
for nine years, and TJ Gliem has
been there two years. “They
stepped up to fill in the gap
before I was hired, and I really
respect them for that,” he says.
“I’m lucky to have them here,
and I look forward to working
with them.”
Labath also is impressed
with the upgrades done in the
LPN kitchen this spring. “The
kitchen is fantastic. It’s spacious, and offers a lot of prep
area that is well organized. That
helps us get the food out faster,
and keeps the food as fresh as
it can be,” he says.
Some tweaks to The Links
menu will come, Labath says,
but for now his focus is on what
patrons like on the current
menu, and what else they’d like
to see there. “I love talking to
people and getting feedback,”
he says. “I know the flatbread
pizzas are popular, as are the
tenderloins and burgers. I’m
not going to mess with what’s
working.”
Labath says he likes to try
new things, and plans to offer
a daily sandwich or other dish
as a special item that isn’t currently on the menu. Customer
comments will help him decide
which items should return as
future daily specials, or perhaps be added to the regular
menu. He’s also offering a fresh
soup daily.
He enjoys making pastas
such as ravioli, and creating
his own salad dressings and
sauces. He especially enjoys
creating desserts, and hopes
to eventually offer a tray of
desserts for patrons to consider after their meal. His specialty is crème brulee, which
is a rich custard base topped
with a contrasting layer of hard
caramel. Labath says he has
created about 30 versions.
Another favorite of Labath’s
is cooking with fresh fish. He
looks forward to offering some
fresh fish specials on Friday
and Saturday nights, once
the busy banquet season is
behind him. He’d also like to
offer cooking classes to small
groups in the fall and winter
months, and dinners that pair
food with wine or specialty
cocktails. Next summer, he’d
like to serve Lake Panorama
boaters by grilling at Boulder
Beach or Spikes.
Labath took the LPN executive chef position with
full knowledge of how busy
the kitchen is during summer months, when wedding
receptions and golf tournaments fill the weekly calendar.
At the same time, he’s responsible for daily business in The
Links and Spikes.
“Right now, my focus is on
providing good, consistent food
served in a timely manner,” he
says. “If you’re going to have a
big group of people, I encourage you to make a reservation.
We’re always happy to see
big groups, but things do run
more smoothly if we know
you’re coming.”
As he settled into his new
job, Labath welcomes comments and suggestions. “I
have a lot of my own ideas
about what we can do here.
But when I’m presented with
a new idea by someone else,
that’s when I really strive to
see if we can make it happen,” he says.

HALTERMAN

sponsibilities include communications, managing the
LPA farmland, overseeing the
LPA-managed Rural Improvement Zone (RIZ) conservation
projects, and other miscellaneous duties.
Although Guthrie County is
home to Halterman, he spent
many years studying and working in other parts of Iowa. He
earned a four-year bachelor’s degree in mass communications
from Grandview College in Des
Moines. As he was wrapping that
up, he decided to add a second
bachelor’s degree in conservation and wildlife management.
He did that by attending Upper
Iowa University in Fayette for
one year.
It was during that year he met
his future wife Brenda, who grew
up in Stuart. Over Christmas
break, he had seven weeks off
from school. His parents were
living in Des Moines at that time,
so he went to the Walmart there
to apply for a job. Brenda was the
personnel manager who hired
him to work during the Christmas rush.
When he returned to Fayette,
he learned the lumberyard he
had been working at part-time
had closed, so he called to ask if
he could continue working weekends. Brenda agreed so he drove
back and forth between Fayette
and Des Moines each week that
spring. The couple married July
15, 1995.
Immediately after graduating
from Upper Iowa, Halterman was
hired by the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources to work at Lake
Rathbun. Yet he wanted to work
in county conservation. So after
nine months he took at job in the
Des Moines County Conservation office, and he and Brenda
moved to Burlington.
The couple wanted to be closer
to home, so when a job was advertised in the Greene County
Conservation office, Halterman
interviewed and was hired. That
moved them to Jefferson for two
years.
Halterman says his goal was
always to be a county conservation director, so when the
Jones County director position
opened, he was hired, and the
couple moved to Anamosa. They
were there for six years before
the opportunity to come back
home.
By then they had two kids, and
wanted to be closer to family.
So when the position of natural
resources manager in the Guthrie County Conservation office
opened, Halterman applied and
was hired.
For the past 13 years, the family
has lived at the Nation’s Bridge

A DIFFICULT DECISION MADE EASIER
When Dwayne’s wife suddenly passed away last year, he found himself in an all too common
position of what to do next! Dwayne lived with his daughter and her family for some time and
then after some health complications, spent a few months in rehabilitation. When the time
came to be discharged, Dwayne and his family had to make a decision. He was still very much
independent, however, realized that he could no longer manage to live completely alone, but
did not want to burden his children either. His family heard about The Lakeside Village from
relatives, toured the community and determined this was the perfect fit for Dwayne.
Does Dwayne’s story sound similar to yours or someone you know?
The Lakeside Village, a 64-apartment Independent, Assisted Living and Memory Care Retirement Community
is located right on beautiful Lake Panorama, just north of Panora, Iowa. Whether you just need a little extra
help, like Dwayne, or are living with dementia and need Memory Care, The Lakeside Village can promote your
independence and privacy with its many options of retirement living. It’s perfect for a single person or married
couples, especially those requiring different levels of care. Our friendly and caring staff is here to make life easier
and a lot more exciting! There are many apartment styles and floor plans available to meet your preferences.
There is no buy-in, no monthly maintenance fees or lease agreements; just month to month rentals.
Most retirement communities categorize and charge residents according to levels of care. The Lakeside Village
customizes this approach to meet each resident’s personal and health needs through Individual Service Plans
(ISPs). This document is used to determine which Activities of Daily Living a resident needs assistance and
calculates charges based on the total minutes of assistance needed by the resident. Activities of Daily Living
include assistance with bathing, mobility or medication management, just to name a few. The benefit of an ISP is
that each resident pays only for what they need and nothing that they don’t.

county park between Panora
and Stuart. “That meant I was
involved in a lot of things. I was
the park ranger, naturalist and educator,” Halterman says. “Guthrie County Conservation owns
1,100 acres of parks, wildlife areas, campgrounds and river accesses and I was responsible for
all of that, as well as the county
roadside program.”
Halterman says he didn’t know
it at the time, but his previous
jobs, especially the last two, were
preparing him to work for the
LPA. “I gained a lot of experience
with budgets, rules and regulations, safety, natural resources
and working with the public. All
of that has made it possible for
me to transition nicely to this
new opportunity,” he says.
Halterman says the new job has
allowed him and Brenda to do
something they’ve long wanted
to do — buy their own home.
“We lived at Nation’s Bridge for
13 years, and prior to that we
lived in the Jones County park
residence. Living in a park is a
great place to raise kids, but the
downside is you’re always at work,
even when you aren’t,” he says.
The family now lives in Panora.
Brenda works at West Des Moines
Dental as a dental assistant and
office manager. Bryce will be a
senior and Brooke a sophomore
when they return to classes at
Panorama this fall.
Growing up in Guthrie County, Halterman is no stranger to
Lake Panorama. He says he had
friends who lived at the lake. “I
always liked the community aspect, and when I saw the job announcement, I thought it would
be a nice fit for me and my family,” he says. “I spent 22 years in
the conservation field, and was
happy with my job with Guthrie
County Conservation. But this

freshing change.”
Of his new responsibilities,
Halterman calls the communications aspect “huge. The
weekly Prompt and quarterly
Panorama Post that Randy established are very important. I
look forward to continuing to
provide these and other communications pieces that will
keep LPA members informed.”
He’s also looking forward to
managing LPA farmland, and
coordinating with government
agencies and RIZ on two wetlands
projects that will help keep silt
and nutrients out of the lake.
He’ll also take the lead on other projects that come along,
and be charged with “developing new ideas to enhance what
Lake Panorama already has, or
take old ideas and make them
new,” he says.
Halterman says while he was
familiar with Lake Panorama,
he faces a big learning curve.
“The nice thing is besides learning about my direct responsibilities, I’ve been spending a couple
of days each week with different
departments. I got to go onto the
dredge and learn how it works,
and I helped haul logs out of the
lake. I’ve worked with the water
department installing meters,
and learned about the operation
of the dam and water plant. I’ve
mowed and I’m spending time
with security and lake patrol,”
he says.
“Coming from the outside, I
knew a lot goes on at Lake Panorama, but I really didn’t have a
clue about how much gets done
every day,” Halterman says. “The
amount of work that is accomplished by the LPA staff is absolutely amazing. I look forward
to working with each of the departments and office staff to help
keep Lake Panorama a premiere
location for LPA members.”

Caution advised
as peak boating
season approaches
Iowa DNR
Heading toward the peak of
Iowa’s boating season; boaters
and other on the water recreationists are urged to observe
safety first, on or near their
favorite lake or stream.
Traditionally, the 4th of July
weekend is the busiest period on Iowa waters. Boating,
paddling, fishing and swimming are even more popular
with what are often the warmest temperatures of the year.
Before you set out, though,
help make sure everybody
stays safe.
“We urge boaters…including
passengers…to remain alert
to activity around them,” advises Susan Stocker, boating
law administrator for the Department of Natural Resources.
“Don’t overload your craft. The
U.S. Coast Guard, along with
manufacturers, determines the
capacity of each boat and it is
visible on virtually all boats.”
Operators can brush up on
rules and regulations, by taking the DNR boating safety
course. Iowa law requires any
person 12-17 years old, who
will operate a motorboat over
ten horsepower or a personal
watercraft, to successfully complete the education program.
It is available online at http://
www.iowadnr.gov/Things-toDo/Boating/Boater-Education
Stocker reminds everyone on
board that they need a properly fitted lifejacket. Safety officials also urge you to wear it.
“It is similar to seat belts
on the road. You won’t have
time to grab it and put it on,
when facing an emergency
situation,” she said.
Other lake or river enthusiasts—from paddlers and anglers to swimmers—can avoid
problems, too, by wearing a
lifejacket, especially during
heavy periods of boat traffic.
“With the variety of activities
out there, a life jacket provides
added safety while you are enjoying yourself,” said Stocker.
The effects of sun, waves
and wind over a day on the
water are tiring; especially if
alcohol is involved.
“Alcohol has a dehydration
effect. It can impede judgment,” warns Stocker. “A sober designated boat operator
is vital on board.”
In Iowa, there are more than
235,000 registered boats. Many
of them will be out over the
coming weekends. With everyone aware, everyone stays
safe on the water.
Boating Tips
Don’t drink and operate a
boat
Take a boating safety course
Always wear a lifejacket – it
can’t work if it’s not on
Have a throwable floatation
device on board
Review boating laws
Remember, youth under
age 13 are required to wear
a lifejacket while the boat is
underway
Have patience and be courteous on the ramp and water
Get a weather forecast before heading out
Keep watch for other boaters, swimmers, skiers, debris
or other obstacles in the water
Have a fully charged, usable
fire extinguisher
Maintain your boat trailer
[lights, wheel bearings, tires]
Have a working horn or
whistle
Prepare your boat in the rigging lane prior to launching
Don’t operate in a careless
or reckless manner
Don’t violate buoys, as they
are the road signs of the water
Iowa DNR: 30
years, 30 natural
resource successes
DES MOINES
July 1 marks the 30th anniversary of the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources, established
by the State Legislature when
several state agencies consolidated in 1986. To help commemorate the 30th anniversary, the DNR is highlighting
30 success stories for Iowa’s
natural resources during the
last three decades.
The DNR oversees compliance with water, land and air
quality regulations, as well as
wildlife, fisheries, forests and
state parks.
“We spend a lot of time working on, and talking about, how
Iowa’s natural resources need
to improve, and we will continue that hard work,” said DNR
director Chuck Gipp. “Now is
the perfect time to also reflect
on some amazing accomplishments that have truly improved

saying speakers were needed.
“I guess you could say I offfered
my services,” Nolte-Pinkert said.
She plans to incorporate
humor and positivity into her
speech as she talks about her
experience with the disease .
“Sometimes when you hear a
story like mine, where someone
has gone through it three times,
and 20 years later from the first
time they were diagnosed, they
are still here, it gives hope,” NoltePinkert said. “It’s not a death sentence, always.”
This year’s event will have a
shortened schedule in an attempt
to draw out more participation.
In years past, it ran from noon
until midnight. But this time
around, it will only last from
3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
“This year we’re hoping to get
it a little better attended,” said
Caroline Kness, a member of the
Survivor Committee for Relay
for Life. “It should be a great
turnout.”
Twenty teams are participating
in raising funds for the American
Cancer Society this year. So far,
through fundraising and donations, $30,600 have been raised,
according to Durst, as compared
to $67,000 in 2015.
Dancers from the Adair Dance
Academy and Main Street Dance
Studio in Panora will kick off the
afternoon, followed by opening
ceremonies and the presentation of the 20 teams registered.
Both cancer survivors and caregivers will be celebrated with a
ceremony at 6:00 p.m. Anyone
who has been diagnosed with
cancer is encouraged to participate in a walk around the track
as onlookers cheer for them in
a “demonstration of support
and celebration,” according to
a press release.
There will be a variety of auctions this year, including a silent auction, pie auction and live
auction. Quilts, gift baskets and
handmade needle point pictures
are among the items available
in the silent auction. For the pie
auction, community members
were asked to make and donate
pies to be sold. All of the proceeds
from the sales will go towards
the American Cancer Society.

According to Gipp, the key to
most of these accomplishments
has been partnerships. “These
are not just DNR success stories,” said Gipp. “Many citizens,
businesses and communities
have worked tirelessly to help
improve natural resources and
Iowa’s quality of life during the
last three decades.”
Many of these successes have
happened with leadership from

After a 4-1 win over Guthrie
Center on June 14, the Panorama
baseball team struggled to four
losses on the diamond this week.
The Panthers (1-12 overall)
dropped a doubleheader at
Woodward-Granger on June 16,
falling 12-5 and 2-1, then lost at
home on Monday 10-4 to Des
Moines Christian and on the road
at Earlham Tuesday night, 9-5.
The Panthers will play at Woodward Academy today, Thursday,
before hosting Madrid Friday,
June 24 and Ogden on Monday,
June 27.
WOODWARD GRANGER
In a 12-5 loss to WoodwardGranger in the first of the doubleheader last week, the Panthers
collected 10 hits, but couldn’t
string any more runs together.
Aaron Klinge, Bryce Halterman and Justin Rolfes were all
multiple hitters for the Panthers,
each going 2 for 4 at the plate.
Trent Sloss added the team’s
only RBI.
Luke South, Jeramy Randol,
Blaine Barber and Tanner Godfrey each connected for a hit.
South, an eighth grader, took
the loss in five innings on the hill.
He allowed eight runs (6 earned)
on six hits with three walks and
a strikeout. Both Trent Sloss and
Barber threw an inning. They
combined to give up four runs
(2 earned) on three hits, walk
two and struck out one.
In the second game with the
Hawks, freshman Jacob Iseminger was the losing pitcher. He
allowed two earned runs on four
hits, walked four and sat down
three.
Aaron Klinge was 3 for 4 at
the plate to lead the Panthers,
including a double. Luke South
and Bryce Halterman had the
Panther’s only other hits.

created. If the slots reserved for
Iowans aren’t filled by Aug. 9,
players on the wait list will be
allowed to register.
The 2015 professional winner,
Adam Schenk of Vincennes, Ind.,
won’t be returning this year to
defend his title, because he’s finding success elsewhere. Last fall
he played in 16 Latin America
PGA Tour tournaments, ranked in
the top 10 five times, and ended
up 13th on the money list. So
far in 2016, he has played in 10
Web.com tournaments, where
he has two top-10 finishes, and
is 18th on the money list.
Many past hole sponsors are
returning for the 2016 Brokers
International Iowa Open, and
new ones are being recruited.
Hole sponsorships are $200. Hole
sponsors receive a color sign with
logo, two tickets to the pro-am
drawing party and recognition
on the daily pairing sheets and
the Iowa Open website. Sponsors also are being sought for
the driving range and putting
green, at a cost of $500.
Gary Soreide is in his second
year as tournament director. For

NATURAL GAS SAFETY INFORMATION
Whether your home uses natural gas or not, you may have buried natural gas pipelines under your
property. Transporting natural gas through pipelines is a safe and reliable means of delivery to
customers. MidAmerican Energy Company regularly tests our pipeline system to ensure the safety
and reliability of our facilities.
Gas Detectors
Gas detectors are available for residential and commercial use to alert the
presence of a potentially hazardous natural gas leak. The device sounds
an alarm to warn persons in the area that a leak is occurring, providing the
opportunity to evacuate. From a safe location call MidAmerican Energy at
800-595-5325 to report the leak. This is a free call.
Using Your Senses
Natural gas pipelines are designed to provide safe and reliable natural gas
service. However, at times a pipeline may leak. MidAmerican Energy adds
an odorant to its natural gas so the general public can detect the leak. The
odorant is called mercaptan and smells like rotting eggs or an unpleasant
skunk smell. Even if you only detect a slight odor of natural gas, take action
and leave your home or area immediately.
DO NOT rely on your sense of smell alone to detect the presence
of natural gas.
For some persons sense of smell alone may not be enough to forewarn the
presence of natural gas. Some people cannot detect the odorant because they
have a diminished sense of smell, or have smelled the same odor for a long time.
Sometimes the odor is masked by other smells in the area. Also, if a natural gas
leak occurs underground the surrounding soil can cause the odor to fade so you
will not be able to rely on your sense of smell to detect the leak.
Knowing how to recognize and respond to a possible gas leak is an important
part of natural gas safety. Trust and use all of your senses.
While we work diligently to monitor and maintain our delivery system, we rely on you to follow all
natural gas safety rules and report any suspicion of leaks. Because of the importance of natural gas
to our economy and everyday life, we all have a stake in the safety of the natural gas pipelines.
You may recognize a natural gas pipeline leak by:
Sight
• Discolored or abnormally dry soil or vegetation
• Continuous bubbling in wet or flooded areas
• Blowing dirt
• Dead or discolored plants in an otherwise healthy area of vegetation
• Frozen ground in warm weather
Sound
• Quiet hissing to a loud roaring sound
If you observe any of these signs:
• Extinguish smoking materials and other small flames
• Do not attempt to extinguish a burning gas leak
• Turn off and abandon equipment; do not attempt to move any machinery
• Eliminate other sources of ignition (e.g., a nearby car with the engine
running, cellphones)
• Leave the immediate area
• From a safe distance, call MidAmerican Energy at 800-595-5325 and/or
call 911. (MidAmerican Energy will investigate the gas leak at no charge
to the caller.)
Do not re-enter the area until you have been advised
that it’s safe.
Potential hazards of natural gas:
Fire or Explosion
• Extremely flammable – easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames
• Will form explosive mixtures with air
• Vapor may travel to ignition source and flashback
Health
• Leaking natural gas is a health hazard; it can cause loss of coordination,
dizziness and headache
Prevention measures:
• Regular inspections and maintenance of your gas appliances
• Keep the area around gas appliances and gas piping free from obstructions
and combustible materials
• Provide access to the meter and equipment when necessary
• Never store flammable liquids in your home or near fuel-burning appliances
• Have gas appliance connectors checked for defects by a qualified
plumbing and heating dealer
• Always place approved end caps on pipes after removing gas dryers or similar
appliances. Relying on a valve alone to stop the flow of natural gas on open
ended pipe is not compliant with codes.
CALL BEFORE YOU DIG!
To make sure you follow the law and don’t strike
underground natural gas and electrical lines, dial
One Call at 811 at least two business days before
digging. One Call: It’s the law!
