SHERIFF’S OFFICE
Deputy
dismissed,
department
seeking
new officer
By REBECCA MCKINSEY
Guthrie Center Times staff
Rod Pavelka, one of the Guthrie
County Sheriff’s Office’s newest
deputies, was terminated from
the position
during the last
few days of his
probation.
Pavelka,
who previously served as the
Guthrie Center
police chief, began working Rod
with the sher- Pavelka
iff’s office in July
after the county
took over the city’s law enforcement and the Guthrie Center Police Department was dissolved.
The sheriff’s office is accepting applications for the deputy
position until noon Feb. 1. For
more information or to receive
an application, call the sheriff’s
office at 641-747-2214.
Arganbright said that Pavelka didn’t do anything unethical
while working with the sheriff’s
office but simply wasn’t a good
match for the office.
Pavelka’s probationary period
would have ended Dec. 31.
“I hope the best for him,” Arganbright said.

Estate funds new equipment for firefighters
By REBECCA MCKINSEY
An estate gifted to the Guthrie
Center Volunteer Fire Department more than a year ago has
financed a round of new equipment — and needed equipment,
firefighters say.
The department was able to
purchase two trucks, a thermal
imaging camera and 14 LED
flashlights with money from the
Mary Howey estate — about
$400,000 that was gifted to the
fire department in 2014.
“We’re just blessed to have
that kind of estate given to us,”
Fire Chief Dave Embleton said.
“It’s great for the community
and just beyond our belief. We’ve
never had that kind of money
we could work with.”
The largest purchase was a
2015 2,300-gallon tanker truck,
used to haul water to rural fires
or fires in town that aren’t near a
fire hydrant. It has a side pump
— updated from older tankers’
front pumps — and includes
scene lights.
The department’s other tanker
is more than 20 years old and
holds less than 2,000 gallons of
water, volunteer fireman Craig
Kintz said.

Emergency
Management
By REBECCA MCKINSEY
A group of over 35 friends from California, Tennessee,
and all across the Midwest will converge on icy Lake
Panorama in Panora this weekend in an annual sporting
competition. Panora residents Jay and Sue Merryman will
host the Sixth Annual Merryman Broomball Tournament
in Horseshoe Cove.
Action begins at 10:30 a.m.
and is expected to finish by
6 p.m.
Broomball is a sport similar to hockey. However, rather than skates that make it
easy to move around, players
wear snow boots or athletic
shoes that give them little
traction. Furthermore, in-
stead of a hockey stick and
puck, players use duct-taped
brooms to pass and shoot a
small soccer ball through a
goal. These differences make
Broomball an exciting game
for everyone, as rookies and
seasoned veterans alike slip,
swoosh, and swarm around
the ice.
While it is said that Broomball was invented by Canadian street-car workers
nearly a hundred years ago,
tournament commissioner
Josh Merryman believes the
game has been perfected in
Iowa. Merryman, an agronomist from Adel, says, “We’ve
been playing Broomball since
our days at Iowa State, when
games were only scheduled
after midnight once the club
hockey team finished practicing. It didn’t matter if I had six
finals the next morning, I was
out there.” Following the inevitable string of graduations,
the group found a new way
to get their Broomball fix: An
annual outdoor tournament.
BROOMBALL, Page 10A
EMERGENCY, Page x
In 2011, Merryman organized the first tournament,
which was attended by 20
people. The inaugural event,
held in Guttenberg, Iowa on
the Mississippi River, featured
rink walls made out of snow.
Since moving to Lake Panorama in January 2014, the
group has built numerous
upgrades. The Red Arena
Rink now features four-foot
walls, anchored goals, night
lighting, and video coverage.
Clark Bowden, a Kansas City
construction engineer and
vice president of rink facilities, has been impressed with
the improvements. “I’ve built
For a fourth year members of the
private sector (business and industry) in Adair and Guthrie Counties
are joining with the public sector
(city and county governments) to
support the budget needs of the
Adair and Guthrie County Emergency Management Programs.
Adair and Guthrie County Emergency Management Coordinator,
Robert Kempf says, “Emergency
Preparedness is not just the responsibility of our local governments. Emergency Management
and Preparedness are a team sport
- everyone has a part to play. The
participation by the private sector
is critical to accomplishing our
planning and response goals and
objectives.”
In 2015, they introduced the
Mobile App.
“The App is free through the
Goggle Play Store and I-Tunes
and is the first of its kind in the
state” said Kempf.
It is a one stop shop for basic
information about preparedness,
to get emergency information,
current emergency management
updates, weather, utility outage,
closing and road condition information. Residents can also use the
App to sign up for the county’s
emergency notification system
and to report damages to their
property from storms.
Kempf says the App also contains contact information for all
the emergency service units in
Adair and Guthrie Counties.

“We needed a better tanker

more feasible to use.”
The tanker arrived in December and was just recently put
into service.
The department also has a
new city pumper truck, purchased by the City of Guthrie
Center.
The second purchase the estate made possible was a 2015

HUNTING
With the close of the late muzzleloader and archery seasons
Jan. 10, deer hunting is complete
— and it was a fairly typical year,
a local conservation officer said.
In Guthrie County, there were
875 does, 771 antlered bucks, 186
button bucks and eight shedantler bucks — totaling 1,840
deer — harvested during the
2015 hunting seasons, according to an Iowa Department of
Natural Resources report.
The report also notes that there
was one turkey harvested during the fall turkey season and
185 harvested during the spring
turkey season.

operation and how the business has changed over the past
nearly 100 years and now four
generations.
About Deal’s Orchard
Deal’s Orchard is a familyowned and operated farm, located about three miles west of
Jefferson, Iowa. For nearly 100
years, the Deal family has called
it home, and for much of that
time has relied upon the apple
crop as their main source of
income. Deal’s Orchard has a
retail store on the farm and also
goes to Farmer’s Markets early
in the season. They wholesale
apples and cider to about 50
grocery stores. By diversifying
over the years, the Deal Family
has tried their hand at raising
livestock (both beef and dairy
cattle), row crops, fresh cider,
caramel apples, homemade
pies, cherries, pumpkins, tomatoes, sweetcorn, gift baskets,
agri-tourism, hard cider production, and even Christmas
trees. Since they first set foot in
Greene County, Iowa in 1917,
the four generations of Deals
have seen many changes, but
most of their faithful customers
will tell you they keep coming
back to the orchard because
so many things have remained
the same.
Glidden Mutual Insurance Association
celebrates 125th anniversary
Glidden Mutual Insurance
Association of Glidden, Iowa,
celebrated 125 years of service
to their policy holders in 2015.
The Mutual was organized on
March 24, 1890 as Farmer Mutual Fire and Lightning Insurance Association with Eugene
R. Graves as president and J.G.
Merritt as secretary. Initially
only fire and lightning claims
were covered and the Board
of Directors consisted of six
members. Today Glidden Mutual Insurance is managed by
Dave Lake and the Board of
Directors is made up of six
members. Many local farmers have served on the Board
of Directors over the years.
Dave Lake, manager, says
“Since its humble beginnings
in Glidden Township, Carroll
County, Iowa, the Mutual has
expanded its writing territory
to include all of Carroll County plus Greene, Calhoun, Sac,
Shelby, Crawford, Audubon
and Guthrie counties.
Our charter limits us to this
writing territory. Within this
territory Glidden Mutual has
365 members, $213,834,907
of gross risk-in-force and is
approaching $1,000,000 in
written premiums. Several
decades ago the Mutual began issuing agency contracts
and today we have 10 agencies
with 12 locations and a total
of 43 agents that represent
Glidden Mutual in our writing territory. We began 125
years ago as a farm property
mutual and today 75 percent
of our business is still farm
property, with the remainder
homeowners.”
The anniversary year will
culminate with the Mutual’s
annual meeting on Tuesday,
January 26, 2016. In order to
thank each policy holder for
their business over the years, a
gift of appreciation was mailed
to all insureds and agents during the summer of 2015.
State Treasurer Fitzgerald announces 2016
College Savings Iowa deduction amount
DES MOINES
State Treasurer Michael L.
Fitzgerald announced that
the Iowa income tax deduction has once again been raised
for those saving with College
Savings Iowa.
“Iowa taxpayers can deduct
the first $3,188 they contribute per beneficiary account
from their state taxable income,” Fitzgerald said. “This
means a married couple with
two children will be able to deduct up to $12,752 in College
Savings Iowa contributions on
their 2016 state taxes.”
New this year, Iowa taxpayers
may elect to contribute to their
College Savings Iowa account
up through the tax deadline for
filing an individual Iowa state
income tax return. “This means
there is still time to contribute
for 2015,” Fitzgerald added. “All
Iowa taxpayers can still contribute for the 2015 tax year
up through May 2, 2016, and
claim a tax deduction of up
to $3,163 per College Savings
Iowa account.”

Proposed Flood Hazard
Determinations for Guthrie County, Iowa
and Incorporated Areas
The Department of Homeland Security’s
Federal Emergency Management Agency has
issued a preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM), and where applicable, Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report, reflecting proposed
flood hazard determinations within Guthrie
County, Iowa and Incorporated Areas. These
flood hazard determinations may include the
addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations, base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard
Area boundaries or zone designations, or the
regulatory floodway. Technical information or
comments are solicited on the proposed flood
hazard determinations shown on the preliminary FIRM and/or FIS report for Guthrie County,
Iowa and Incorporated Areas. These flood
hazard determinations are the basis for the
floodplain management measures that your
community is required to either adopt or show
evidence of being already in effect in order to
qualify or remain qualified for participation in
the National Flood Insurance Program. However, before these determinations are effective for floodplain management purposes, you
will be provided an opportunity to appeal the
proposed information. For information on the
statutory 90-day period provided for appeals,
as well as a complete listing of the communities affected and the locations where copies of
the FIRM are available for review, please visit

Tips for Better Wildlife Photography
Iowa DNR
Anyone can take a picture of
an animal, but it takes skill to
get a good one. Whether you’ve
got a secondhand point-andshoot camera or a top-of-the-line
DSLR, remember these tips to
help you get your best wildlife
shots this season.
Have a Plan
While chance encounters
can be great for photos, you’ll
have better luck getting a really good shot if you know what
you’re looking for ahead of time.
Research the wildlife you want
to photograph – find out what
it eats, what habitat features
it likes, its most active times
of the year etc. - then look for
locations near you that would
be attractive to that animal. If
you already know you’re looking for something big and fast,
like deer, or small and slow, like
caterpillars, you don’t have to
fuss so much with modes and
adjustments when your subject
shows up.
Get to Know
the Subject
All the planning in the world
still won’t guarantee a helpful
subject. After all, a wild animal
doesn’t really care if there’s a random tree in your shot or the light
would be better a little to the
left. So, after you’ve successfully
located a wildlife habitat with
the desired residents, visit a few
times to learn the specific animal’s mannerisms and habits.
Then, use that knowledge to help
you pick a good spot to shoot
from. Obviously take into account any safety concerns with
your plan, and avoid scaring the
animal out of its home whenever possible.
Time it Right
So you’ve got a location and
a subject, now what? Sometimes the honest answer is to
hurry up and wait. Patience is
key when you can’t communicate with your subject, and different times of day will vastly
alter what the scene looks like
based on sunlight. Try to avoid
peak sun times like 10:00 a.m.
to 2:00 p.m. as you’ll have very
few shadows to work with and
the direct light is generally less
flattering than softer morning
or mid-afternoon light. Weather
will affect your light as well, and
color will pop more easily when
the sky is dark and cloudy. This
can be great for delicate colors
of flowers or portraits, which get
washed out in heavy sunlight.
Clouds can also give a sense
of depth when photographing
birds in flight, or give a more
somber mood to a wide angle
landscape.
Long Shot
While there is no one-and-only
way to photograph wildlife, if
you’re going to invest in gear,
get a telephoto lens. They’re a
must for animals you can’t or
don’t want to get physically close
to, and by staying back you’re
less likely to disturb any subject.
While different fixed-length telephoto lenses are good for different things, these lenses are bulky
- so you’re probably better off
starting with a zoom telephoto
lens. These cover a wide range
of focal lengths for less money,
allowing you to get a good picture whether your subject is 100
or 500 feet away with the same
lens. If you have the funds and
want to invest in fixed-length
lenses, look into purchasing
a teleconverter to make them
more adaptable. While you will
lose some resolution and stops
of light, these little gadgets can
make one telephoto lens very
versatile and they won’t break
your back.
Ready Steady
On the topic of gear, a tripod
is great for extended shooting
and crisp photos. If you need to
move around more than a tripod allows, consider a monopod
instead. They’ll still save your
shoulders from fatigue and your
photos from blur, but they take
a little more effort and practice
to use. As a rule, the longer the
lens, the easier it is to get a blurry
image, so account for supporting your lens itself and not just
the camera body if you’re using a telephoto. A less expensive support option is a beanbag, but you’ll probably have
to look around for something
taller to set it on.
Hands Off
Another cool piece of gear to
keep in mind is a remote shutter button. These are great for
long exposures in low light, or
for people who notice consistent blur in their images. Many
amateur photographers will press
the shutter button too quickly
or just too hard, causing motion
and blur, and others will incur
the same problems from unintentionally breathing in abruptly
when they take a picture. These
problems can be avoided completely with this small remote,
which triggers the camera to take
a picture without you having to
touch the camera itself. This little gear trick does wonders for
many people trying to get sharp
photos - only downsides are you
have to buy the remote and set
up your shot on a tripod or other
surface. There is also a delayed
shot option or timer built in to
most cameras, so play around
with this first to see if your movements are making a noticeable
difference in your shots.
Hands On
If you want clear pictures and
want to press the shutter button
yourself, make sure you’re using the appropriate body posture for holding your camera.
Use both hands and tuck your
elbows in against your body or
rest them on a large stable object
like a rock. For a DSLR, technically your right hand should be
wrapped around the camera and
your left should be flat underneath for support, but that can
change based on your stance
and hand availability. For a
point-and-shoot it’s tempting
to only use one hand because
they’re so light, but using both
will substantially reduce blur
and help you take the picture
you meant to.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Sheriff’s Office partners with Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division
Plans to enforce,
educate on tobacco,
alternative nicotine
and vapor products
The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office has taken a pledge
to keep tobacco, alternative
nicotine and vapor products
out of the hands of Guthrie
County’s youth.
Known as I-PLEDGE, the program is a partnership with the
Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division (ABD) to educate local
retailers and to enforce Iowa’s
tobacco, alternative nicotine
and vapor product laws. Due to
a change in Iowa law, alternative
nicotine and vapor products are
now considered age-restricted
products and will be part of the
I-PLEDGE program’s compliance initiatives this year.
Since the program’s inception in 2000, the statewide
tobacco compliance rate has
grown to 93 percent. By participating in the program, the
Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office
has committed to do its part to
increase the compliance rate
even more this year.
I-PLEDGE places emphasis
on retailer training. Clerks who
successfully complete an online training course and then
pass an exam will become IPLEDGE certified. This allows a
retail establishment to use and
affirmative defense against a
civil penalty if the certified clerk
makes an illegal sale. Although
clerks are not required to retake
the training if currently certi-
fied, ABD encourages them to
repeat the training after October 3 in order to familiarize
themselves with the newly agerestricted products.
“I-PLEDGE’s retailer training is a great way for clerks to
prepare themselves to refuse
illegal tobacco, alternative nicotine and vapor product sales,”
Guthrie County Sheriff Marty
Arganbright said. “The training
also assists retailers to ensure
they maintain a compliant and
responsible establishment.”
Guthrie County deputies and
reserve officers will also be conducting compliance checks on
local establishment as part of
the I-PLEDGE program. Underage customers, under the supervision of law enforcement
officials, will enter into illegal
sales as part of the checks.
Criminal penalties for selling
tobacco, alternative and vapor
products to a minor include a
$100 fine for a first offense, a
$250 fine for a second offense
and a $500 fine for third and
subsequent offenses. However,
handing out citations is not the
intent of the I-PLEDGE program.
“By partnering with the Iowa
Alcoholic Beverage Division,
we hope to educate clerks and
maintain a compliant retail environment in our community,”
Arganbright said. “Moreover,
we pledge to help keep tobacco,
alternative nicotine and vapor
products out of the hands of
Iowa’s youth.”

HUNTING
FROM Page 1A
Jeremy King, DNR conservation officer for the area, said
the DNR’s biologists believe,
based on studying counties’
deer populations, that only
about 70 percent of hunters
do so.
“There’s 30 percent of people out there that could do a
better job,” he said.
The harvesting numbers allow biologists to keep track
of each county’s deer populations and to make recommendations for the coming
years.
There were 1,950 antlerless
or doe tags available for Guthrie County in 2015, and all
of those were sold, said Rich
Smith, executive officer in the
Iowa DNR’s license section.
The total number of tags
available for the county used
to be 3,300 before Bluetongue
disease wiped out much of
the county’s deer population
several years ago, King said.
The population has slowly
been rebuilding, he said.
“I’d say from last year we’re
up, and from two years we’re
up, but we’re nothing like we
were five years ago,” King said.
The year’s hunting season
also saw the usual huntingrelated crimes, King said.
Many complaints and violations involve trespassing
and deer baiting.
He said that this year was
fairly typical as far as the number of violations but noted
that there were more complaints this year about people
using trucks or motor vehicles
to chase deer and radios or
cellphones to communicate
deers’ movement.
“What’s helped us is good
civilians who call in and file
complaints,” King said.
Trapping seasons for coyotes, minks, muskrats, weasels, opossums, foxes, raccoons, beavers, otters and
bobcats are underway, with
most ending Jan. 31 and beaver season ending April 15.
However, trapping complaints are drastically down
this year — King said he only
has received about two complaints throughout this season, when typically he might
receive two a day, and he
doesn’t recall writing a trapping ticket this season.
Why? Because almost nobody’s trapping, he said. Typically he could pull up to any
culvert and find traps, and
this year, he’s seeing very few.
“It’s basically because the
price of fur is zero,” he said.
“The Russia and China markets — with both those economies not doing well, they’re
not buying.”
King noted that all hunting and fishing licenses expired Jan. 10 and need to be
renewed.

Gamblers pour $116 million into Jefferson’s slots
By DOUGLAS BURNS
jefferson
Penny for your slots?
As it turns out, yes, if you
are at the Wild Rose Casino
in Jefferson.
73 billion of them, in fact.
Wild Rose Jefferson’s Dec.
14 filing with the Iowa Racing
and Gaming Commission
reports that gamblers had
played $73 million on penny
slot machines alone since
the casino opened July 13.
Include all the slot ma-
chines — from 1 cent to $5
— and that figure jumps to
$116 million (of which the
casino kept about $9.4 million).
In that fiscal-year-to-date
report, which runs from the
opening through November,
Wild Rose counted admissions of 206,780 to the gaming floor and $10.3 million in
gaming revenue. This doesn’t
include money spent on food
and drink and concerts.
In a separate report, from
September through November, Wild Rose Jefferson pro-
vided slot-machine gamblers
with the second-best odds
of the state’s regulated casinos.
According to official filings, the casino’s payback
percentage stood at 91.8 percent — meaning the casino
took in 8.2 percent of the
money dropped into the 519
slot machines.
Of the state’s 19 regulated
casinos, only Prairie Meadows Racetrack & Casino
posted better odds with a
92.1 percent payback.
The Horseshoe in Council
Bluffs had the worst odds for
the three-month period with
an 89.3 percent payback.
For t he mont h of November, Wild Rose Jefferson pulled in gaming revenues of $1.89 million with
admissions of 34,215.
Gamblers wagered $21.5
million on the slot machines
and $803,629 on the 12 table
games in November.
For that month, the casino
paid $9,450 to both Greene
County and the City of Jefferson, and $377,989 in state
taxes.
When I worked as a salesman at a small dealership in
rural Iowa there was a lady who
walked in and wanted to buy a
truck. She was in her late 30’s
and had six children following her like little ducklings.
I greeted her with my usual,
“Good morning. What brings
you in today?” She simply said
what she wanted and pointed
to a pickup, “I want that truck.”
I started to get the keys so
she could test drive it but she
said that wouldn’t be necessary. She simply wanted to
purchase it now. So we sat
down at my desk and I gave
her a competitive price that
would be good anywhere in
Iowa. She agreed and I started
the paperwork.
As I was writing the purchase order she asked to use
my phone. She dialed the number and it rang and she said,
“Guess what I did? I bought
a truck”. She was talking to
her husband and told him he
could pick it up in a couple
days and he did.
Everyone has a different approach to buying a vehicle. In
this case it was a new truck so
the pricing is a little more controlled than used. She could
have already done her research
and knew it was a good price.
But if she hadn’t how would
she know it was a good price.
Dealerships are usually very
friendly and try to keep you
as happy as they can. They
do that so they can make as
much money as they can. That
is the reason they go to work
just like you to make money.
But you need to save as much
money as you can so do some
research and get a professional
consultant to help you. It’s your
money so protect it.

Participants of the 2015 Broomball tournament
competition held at Lake Panorama in Panora, including
nearly 30 people on 6 teams. Six teams will battle for the
2016 title on Saturday, Jan. 16 in Horseshoe Cove.
A 2015, 2300 Gallon Tanker Truck, was one of four items purchased by the Guthrie Center Fire Fighters Association with
Mary Howey Estate money that was gifted to the department.
2015 Broomball teammates (from left) Sam Schmidt,
Madison Cronk, Daniel Fischer, and Ben Schmidt take
a break from the action. The team will return to the
ice Saturday, Jan. 16 where competitors battle in two
20-minute matches, with the finalists playing four.

bridges, dams, and skyscrapers, but the new Broomball rink
is my greatest work - it’s really a
thing of beauty,” Bowden said.
In addition to the rink, the
group has made plenty of other
upgrades. Last year, Madison
Merryman, an Adel graphic
designer and spirit captain,
made T-shirts to honor all of
the prior years’ champions.
Ben Ellefson, an Ames marketing manager and tournament film director, has produced annual videos showing
the games’ highlights (often
himself scoring many goals!).
And new this year will be a
live Periscope stream of the
festivities, with viewers planning to join in all the way from
Germany.
This year’s competition figures to be just as ferocious as
years’ past. Back again is the
three-time champion and
feared goalie, Lea Sullivan, the
notorious bearded Schmidt
brothers, all-time first pick,
Deni, and plenty of other new
and familiar faces. Head Scout
Mark Sullivan, a Minneapolis
endodontist, said, “The players have really been training
hard during the off-season. I
can’t imagine a team expecting to win the Golden Broom
Trophy by taking any days off.”
Visitors are welcome to stop
by the Horseshoe Cove this
Saturday to watch the excitement. As long as there is ice

quickly, Kintz said.
The truck holds 250 gallons
of water and has a 12-gallon
foam tank. The department
received it last summer and
already has used it.
With that purchase, the department now has three fourwheel-drive trucks.
The new thermal imaging
camera hooks onto firefighters’
equipment so that they can grab
it when needed. It allows them
to look for hot spots in a wall,
people in a burning building
or people thrown in a crash.
“Even if you’re at a scene of
a wreck and you know bodies have been thrown, you can
search and search and search
and not find anything,” Kintz
said. “If you take one of these,
you see the body right away.”
The department has borrowed thermal imaging cameras when possible but has never
owned one, he said.
The rechargable LED flashlights — 14 of them — are carried in the fire department’s

to see it right now and we are
executing a style of wrestling we

expect improvement from this

Guthrie Center got a solid
defensive effort and scored
just enough points to defeat
Woodward-Granger 39-35 on
the road Friday, Jan. 8.
The Tigers held WoodwardGranger to seven points in each
of the first three quarters.
“We had a hard time scoring points, but our scrappy defense - both in the full-court
and half-court - kept us in the
game,” Guthrie Center head
coach Jordan Waddell said.
The Tigers trailed 21-20 entering the fourth quarter of play.
“We kept fighting and ultimately our aggressiveness is
what won us the game,” Waddell said.
Madison Berger, Madison
Waddell and Morgan Meacham
each scored seven points to
pace a balanced Tiger offense.
The Tigers were 42 percent from
the field on 11 of 26 shooting,
including 3 of 4 from behind
the three-point line. They made
14 of 24 foul line shots.
Rachel Long cleared a teamhigh 10 rebounds for the Tigers.
Mady Smith pulled down six
and Madison Waddell and Rachel Courtney had five each.
Both Smith and Berger
passed out three assists. Leigan
Laughery had three steals.
“Leigan Laughery provided

and high intensity all game,”
coach Waddell added.
The Tiger boss said her team
looks forward to a couple more
opportunities this week.
Guthrie Center plays at Madrid Tuesday and will host Ogden Friday night at 6 p.m.
VAN METER
Guthrie Center suffered a 5727 loss to Van Meter on Tuesday,
Jan. 5. The Tigers trailed 16-5
after the first quarter and were
out-scored 26-2 in the second
frame.
“We were lethargic from
the get-go,” Tiger coach Jordan Waddell said. “Didn’t show
a lot of fire. Van Meter is one
of the best teams in the conference, and they showed it.
The turning point in the game
was when they turned up the
pressure in the full court. They

Jan. 5, and lost a road game
at Woodward-Granger (62-44)
Friday, Jan. 8.
WOODWARD-GRANGER
Sam Courtney poured in 20
points to go with four rebounds,
six assists and four steals in the
loss for Guthrie Center. T.J. Wickland added 12 points and eight
rebounds for the Tigers, who
fell to 2-8 overall.
“I really thought this was a
game we could get, and it started out looking that way,” Tiger
coach Jake Mohling said.
Guthrie Center opened the
game on an 11-2 run, but then
fouls and turnovers turned the
game around, Mohling said.
At halftime, Guthrie Center
trailed just 25-16, but Woodward-Granger utilized a press
that worked well against the
Tigers and Guthrie Center was
never able to make the necessary stops to get back in the
game.
“Until we take care of the
ball for an entire game we
will struggle to be in games,”
Mohling said. “I thought our
defense was good and has been
getting better, but WoodwardGranger made shots when they
needed to.”
VAN METER
Guthrie Center dropped a 6335 contest against a talented Van
Meter club on Tuesday, Jan. 5.
TJ Wickland scored 21 points
and grabbed seven rebounds
to lead the Tigers, who trailed
26-11 at the half.
Sam Courtney tossed in 10
points and added five rebounds
and four assists.
The Tigers made 11 of 16 foul
line shots.
“I was happy with how we
played at times and made
adjustments on the fly,” Tiger
coach Jake Mohling said. “I really think we can compete with
Van Meter because the score
did not get out of hand until
we subbed at the end of the
game. As a team that is young
and growing, we look for the
positives while continually trying to learn from our mistakes.
Our biggest area of concern is
our turnovers. We had 22 total.
When you only have around
50 possessions, 22 of them being turnovers, it is very hard to
win games.
“If we want to compete on
the scoreboard, we will have to
learn how to take care of the
ball better.”
Guthrie Center traveled to
Madrid Tuesday and will return
home Friday night against Ogden.

Guthrie Center senior Jocilyn Smith says she’ll miss
sports and becoming friends with different people that
she never would have expected when she leaves high
school behind.
Smith has been active
student-athlete at GC
have definitely been hard on
her, but she always manages
to push through it,” she said.
“She has to take care of and
put up with us three kids all by
herself. It isn’t easy, and she’s
not perfect but she is trying
her best. She has taught me
the most about life.”
During her high school career she has been involved in
student council, NHS, FCCLA,
show choir, fall play, volleyball, basketball, and softball.
Jocilyn believes her greatest
strength is studying and getting good grades; her greatest
weakness according to her is
time management.
Her favorite high school
memory is taking part in a
basketball camp and the team
staying at coach Jordan Waddell’s house. She said, “The girls
really bonded there as a team.”
If she could change one thing
about high school, it would
be to bring study halls back.
As a senior, she enjoys being one of the oldest in the
school and being a leader to the
younger students. She dislikes
all of the stress that is put on
you as a senior. She says that
what she is going to miss about
high school is sports and becoming friends with different
people that you never would
have expected.

Jocilyn, “Joci” Paige Smith
daughter of Ray and Kelli Smith
was born March 17, 1998. She
has three siblings: Joshua (25),
Madylin (15), and Noah (11).
Her classes this year have/
will include: Intro to Psychology, Intro to Sociology, Health
2, Government and Economics, Intro to Health Careers,
Medical Term 1 & 2 and CNA
1 & 2. She feels that her science and health career classes, as well as FCS classes have
been the most beneficial to
her high school academics.
Jocilyn’s motto is to “be the
best you.”
Jocilyn is deciding where
she wants to go to school between the University of Iowa
and Mercy Medical School, to
major in nursing. Jocilyn has
changed a lot since freshman
year. She feels she has grown
to be more outgoing, less shy,
and more sure of herself. Her
advice for underclassmen is
to always try your hardest,
especially the first two years
of high school and that GPA
really does matter.
Jocilyn admires her mother, Kelli Smith, the most because she never gives up.

By Mallory Chance

the La Villa, the Mexican restaurant in town, Tuesday,
December 15. In their class
they have separate groups
that cook food from different
regions around the world.
Hansen, Hunter Lynch, CJ
Melton, Emma Swanson,
and Cadeyn Wardyn.
“We had a unit on Mexico, and taking a trip to the
Mexican restaurant was
what we did to tie up the
unit,” Lange said. She also
said that she asks students
questions about Mexican
food and Mexican ways of
life while they eat.
They chose to go to the Mexican restaurant because Mexican food is from a different
area of the world. They enjoy
cooking foods from around
the world because they get
to try a variety of delicious
foods.
Students in Foods Class include Jose Anticona, Hailey

Matthew William Vannatta,
otherwise known as “Matty-Ice,”
was born to Karen and George
Vannatta on October 26, 1997.
Matthew has one younger brother, Samuel, who is a junior at
Guthrie Center High School,
and two older siblings, Steve
Vannatta and Karen Vaske.
Football, basketball, track,
baseball, FFA, 4-H, academic
team, show choir, choir, FCCLA, individual and large group
speech have consumed Matthew’s high school career. He
has invested himself into all of
these activities and has had a
wonderful time participating in
all of them, but track will always
be his favorite sport.
From freshman year to senior year, Matthew feels he
has changed a lot. He has matured and has come out of his
shell. With four year’s of experience under his belt, Matthew
has some advice for his fellow
underclassmen as they continue their journey through high
school, “Try your hardest and
be involved with different kinds
of activities.”
Matthew is looking forward
to going out and meeting new
people and doing new things after graduation. Leaving behind
a bunch of friends and not seeing them as often is something
that he is not looking forward to.
“Lions don’t lose sleep over
the opinions of sheep” is the
motto that Matthew lives by every day. As he looks back on his
high school career, Mrs. Mills’s
classes have prepared him the
most for his future. Mr. Davis
has taught Matthew a lot about

Students ring in 2016
with new resolutions
By Monica Breslin
GCHS Senior
With the old year gone and
the new year here already,
many Americans welcomed
in the new year with family,
friends, and the wonderful,
well known New Year’s resolutions. Statistics show that 45
percent of Americans usually
make New Year’s resolutions.
The top New Year’s resolutions
pertain to self improvement or
education. Out of all the ages
of people that make New Year’s
resolutions each year, those
most likely to accomplish their
goals and keep their resolutions are people in their 20’s.
After the Guthrie Center
students got back from their
Christmas break, some of them
were interviewed concerning
their New Year’s resolutions.
Here are some of their re-
sponses:
Zoie Shook wants to start
running again this year.
Whitney Bates plans on
making proper preparations
for her future.
Kassandra Sheeder would
like to continue building her
cow herd and would also like
to start a diet.
Taylor Gruber wants to focus more time on her studies.
Also another goal she has is to
try not to worry what people
think of her and start to worry
more about what she thinks.
Kaitlyn Geckler is determined to lose weight and to
become fit, to not let technology get in the way of her social life.
Nick Anderson would like to
maintain healthy relationships.
Taylor Bates wants to make
new friends and get mentally
prepared for college.
HAMBLETON BENEFIT: A benefit will be held Friday, Jan.
15 at Guthrie Center High School to help the family of Doug
Hambleton, a longtime Guthrie Center resident and businessman, who died Jan. 3 following a two-year battle with cancer.
He was 62. The benefit will begin at 5 p.m. with a free-will donation beef burger meal and silent auction. Auction winners
will be announced at halftime of the boys’ basketball game.
construction and also about values. Attending 2015 Hawkeye
Boys State is his favorite high
school memory. He admires his
mom the most. He says that she
goes without a lot so she can
take care of both him and Sam.
Looking ahead into his future,
the one thing that motivates Matthew is his desire to succeed. He
believes that his greatest strength
is that he always gives 100 percent and never settles for less.
With that being said, he believes
that his greatest weakness is his
habit of procrastination.
After graduation, Matthew
plans to attend either UNI or
Central College to major in
history to eventually become
a history teacher. He says he will
always remember high school,
but he is more than excited to
take all the opportunities that
college will offer him.
