Pictured are (from left) Kevin Kipp, Paige Kipp, Teresa Kipp, Heidi Kipp, Kendall Kipp, and Ron Eike, owner of Wood Duck Tree Farms, who donated a variety of eight trees for the memorial park. ‘Everybody liked Grandpa’ Tree Planting in memory of Eugene Kipp lays groundwork for Memorial Park By ASHLEY SCHABLE Guthrie County Vedette staff Eugene Kipp will continue giving to the community of Yale for many years to come. Kipp, who spent 25 years work- ing for the city of Yale, passed away on November 14, 2015, at the age of 71. A Community Memorial Park has been established with the planting of eight trees in his memory. Ron Eike, owner and operator Primary elections Lloyd wins contested Republican race for Supervisor of Wood Duck Tree Farms, and a longtime friend of Kipp’s, donated a variety of shade trees, including Locusts, Oaks and Maples. Eike planted the trees last week in the memorial park, located along Main Street in Yale, across the road from Farmer’s State Bank. “It’s another community involvement to honor all he did in his lifetime here,” Eike said. “This just extends his community development.” Eugene Kipp not only worked as maintenance man and water superintendent for the city of Yale, but he was instrumental in some of the biggest community projects during his time. He worked on the Main Street project, which saw all the old buildings come down, and the mini-mall development around 1993. He was part of the new fire and municipal buildings in the late 90’s, early 2000’s, as well as the new community building in 2009. “He got in on a lot of those projects,” said his son Kendall Kipp. “He really played a part.” ART Local creators to display, sell at 5th annual Art in the Village By CAITLIN WARE Kendall Kipp and his wife Teresa, along with their daughters Paige and Heidi, and his brother, Kevin, admired the trees in the new memorial park last week. Eugene’s wife Karen, who still resides in Yale, Kevin’s wife Julie, and Kendall and Theresa’s son Walker, also plan to visit the new park. MEMORIAL, Page 10A STAFF Herald Publishing Co. welcomes new Guthrie, Adair counties reporter Guthrie County Vedette staff Guthrie County Vedette staff Although challenged by two other candidates, Jack E. Lloyd sealed the Republican nomination for the First District Supervisor seat in the Guthrie County primary elections with 47 votes. “I’m feeling relieved,” Lloyd said. “I didn’t think there was a pretty good turn out. But it seemed I got enough to win. “I want to thank everyone for coming out and voting for me, and I hope to see them again in November.” Lloyd’s win makes him the candidate to face off in the general elections against Democratic incumbent Jerome F. Caraher, who ran unopposed. “You never know about elections,” Caraher said. “I knew no one was running against me, [but] I didn’t know who my opponent was going to be. I’m glad I won, but nobody was running against me. I was all by myself.” Jerri Christman — the current County Auditor — finished the race for the Republican nomination for First District Supervisor with 33 votes, and James Carroll with 21. Some incumbent candidates ran unopposed this year, including Mike Dickson for Republican Fifth District Supervisor, earning 48 votes. Sheriff Marty Arganbright was also uncontested for the Democratic Sheriff nomination, where he picked up 266 votes. Arganbright is running for his third term as Guthrie County Sheriff. While there was no one entered for the Republican nomination, there were 28 scattered votes. Marci McClellan ran unopposed for the Republican County Auditor spot and collected 323 votes. Although she did not have any immediate opposition, McClellan said there is always the worry that the public will not put anything down. Central Valley High School in Stuart. “This will give both recent graduates valuable experience as they pursue their interest in the arts after high school,” said Lynsi Pasutti, co-president of the Guthrie County Arts Council and the event’s coordinator, in the news release. Those attending the event are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and stay a while; area musicians Chad Elliott, Jake Kemble, Brick Imerman and Dale Menning & the Stardusters will perform throughout the day. When Caitlin Ware was 6 or 7 years old, she hand-wrote scripts for plays — not movie scripts, she admonishes. They typically featured talking animals who taught a lesson of some type — bigger doesn’t always mean smarter, or if you do Caitlin this bad thing, Ware you’ll get sat on by an elephant. She’d then grab paper and scissors and try to make costumes to act out the plays before inevitably learning each time that paper costumes aren’t very effective. Now, Ware, 21 and a recent graduate of Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, has shifted the focus of her writing through her study of journalism and is starting work this week as a reporter with Herald Publishing Co. in Guthrie and Adair counties. She will write for the Guthrie Center Times, the Guthrie County Vedette, the Lake Panorama Times, the Adair County Free Press and The Fontanelle Observer. Ware was born in Mississauga, Canada, but has lived most of her life in New Jersey. ART, Page 9A REPORTER, Page 10A PRIMARY, Page 3B We have the tools to do repairs right! Sheri Heiland, a potter and co-president of the Guthrie County Arts Coundil, is one of the artists who will be featured at Art in the Village Saturday in Panora. By REBECCA MCKINSEY | Guthrie County Vedette staff For five years, Iowa-crafted art, music and historical buildings have blended amicably in Panora each June. The fifth annual Art in the Village, held by the Guthrie County Arts Council, will be held from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Saturday at the Guthrie County Historical Village at 206 W. South St. in Panora. This year’s event will feature 30 artists this year from Guthrie County and throughout central Iowa. Their work includes paintings and drawings, photography, mixed media, woodwork, jewelry, pottery and more, according to a news release from the Guthrie County Arts Council. The featured artists will include Cole Hawley and Hailey Gross, both who graduated recently from West We Have State-of-the-art Diagnostic, Wheel Balancing and Alignment Machines to give you the best results!

Both “Tour The Raccoon” and RAGBRAI’s Dream Team will be riding from the Des Moines area to Jefferson on Saturday, camping overnight, and then returning to the Des Moines area on Sunday. It will be a good weekend to be a visitor in Jefferson, as the community’s annual Bell Tower Festival will be in full swing, with special activities happening all over town. The Des Moines Cycle Club’s 8th annual “Tour The Raccoon” is open to the public, and typically attracts up to 100 bicyclists, some of them from other states around the Midwest. Georgie Libbie, president of the DMCC, said numbers will be down this year, probably to “about 35 to 45 riders,” because the club got a late start organizing the ride. That happened, she said, because the club’s leaders were in disagreement with some new rules and requirements for group events on the trail that are now required by the three county conservation boards that own and operate the RRVT. The disagreement has been at least temporarily resolved, and “Tour The Raccoon” -- one of the best rides for experiencing the whole RRVT -- is rolling again. Online registration and more information is available at www. dmcycleclub.com. “Tour The Raccoon” riders will be camping at the Trailhead Campground in Jefferson. RAGBRAI’s Dream Team, now in its 21st year, has done training rides in past years on portions of the RRVT, but this will be the first time the team of 40 teen riders and about 15 adult mentors will ride the full trail. They had planned to do the full trail ride last July, but were forced to cancel when wild thunderstorms with lightning raked the area on that Saturday. But hopefully the weather will cooperate this year, and the Dream Teamers will be camping at Greene County High School in Jefferson. Since 1996, RAGBRAI, the Bike World bicycle shop and other supporters in Des Moines have put together a team of girls and boys, teenagers in their middle school & high school years, to learn about bicycling and experience RAGBRAI. About 40 are picked each year after being recommended by school counselors, pastors and at-risk youth program workers. Most of the team members are ASHLEY SCHABLE | VEDETTE Each Friday on Panora’s Historic Town Square, a Farmer’s Market, celebrates local gardeners, bakers, artisans, and ordinary folks in and around Guthrie County by providing them a venue by which they can show and sell their items to the community.

The construction crew working on repairing the road was out of sight when what witnesses described as a white pickup truck drove through the freshly laid strip of concrete around 9:30 a.m. The driver immediately backed the truck out and drove off, leaving behind deep ruts. The road in question was closed for construction, except for local traffic, and was marked with road closure signs and a fence. Sheriff’s Deputy Jesse Swensen from the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and believes it is possible the incident could have been the result of the truck’s driver not being able to tell where the wet portion of the highway started and the dry portion stopped. “I’m sure they went around the barricade thinking they could just get down the road,” Swensen said. “The wet concrete and the dry concrete are about the same color. Flying down the highway it could be hard to make that distinction between the two.” It is unlikely that the act was intentional, according to Guthrie County Sheriff Marty Arganbright. “I don’t think it was criminal, I don’t think they intentionally did it,” Arganbright said. “What it looks like is they went into it and were like, ‘Oh my goodness, it’s sinking in,’ and they backed up.” DAMAGE, Page 7A Field day will explore two farmers’ experience using a custom-built roller-crimper CHURDAN Cover crops are an increasingly common sight on Iowa farm fields, but roller-crimpers, an implement that can help extend some of the benefits of cover crops offer by letting farmers delay termination, are still a rarity in the Midwest. “Roller-crimpers aren’t that common in the U.S., but they’ve been used for about three decades in South America,” says Billy, who farms at FC Hunter IRRV Trust near Churdan. “With roller-crimpers, you can let cover crop biomass grow taller and longer into the spring than what a conventional farmer might do.” He says this extra cover crop growth extends the soil and water quality benefits cover crops provide while helping to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. He adds that, while many university-led roller-crimper experiments have focused on organic systems, conventional farmers who want to reduce their use of herbicides have also found roller-crimpers to be helpful. Billy, along with George Naylor, a neighbor who also farms, will showcase the results of their own experiment with using a rollercrimper ahead of planting soybeans at a Practical Farmers of Iowa field day they are hosting on FIELD, Page 7A DORIS E.

STEM Council to launch six more school+business partnerships in Iowa Proposals to be an Iowa STEM BEST model will inspire youth and spur local economic development The Iowa Governor’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Advisory Council has designated a portion of legislative funding to help establish six new Iowa STEM BEST® (Businesses Engaging Students and Teachers) models across the six STEM regions. A STEM Council priority for FY2017 is to drive additional community partnerships where schools work together with local employers to build and teach STEM curriculum related to local industry applications. Eight of these STEM education models, known as Iowa STEM BEST, already dot the state, serving as examples for other partnerships to follow. “Learning how to align what students learn in the classroom with what exists in Iowa’s jobs of today and the future is the signature goal of the Iowa STEM BEST program,” said Lt. Guthrie County Road N54 receives attention from around the globe Guthrie County Vedette staff A concrete overlay project on county road N54 in Guthrie County is getting a lot of attention. Manatt’s Inc., a paving contractor from Brooklyn, Iowa, began the concrete overlay project on a 10.9-mile section, from Highway 44 south to County Road F65, just north of Adair, on May 19. The original pavement was constructed in the mid-1950s in three stages. The twentytwo feet wide, 7-inch Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) carried over four decades of traffic before it was overlaid. In 1993, a single 3-inch asphalt overlay was constructed using the same 22-inch width. In an effort to improve ride quality for N54 patrons and Panora Boys Scout Troop 153 Annual Breakfast Fundraiser Sunday, June 12th 7:00a.m.- Noon Atthe PanoraCommunityCenter We will be serving eggs, sausage, biscuits&gravy, coffee, milk andjuice! Gov. Kim Reynolds, co-chair of the STEM Council. “Students who get to experience a STEM BEST environment not only develop invaluable soft skills like collaboration and communication, but they also build relationships with future employers in the communities where they live.” Applied learning has a long history in the realm of career and technical education, including courses like consumer science and industrial technology. What the Iowa STEM BEST models aim to create are similar learning experiences in core areas of study like mathematics and science. “The current eight STEM BEST models represent major business and industry sectors across Iowa,” said Kemin Industries President and CEO Dr. Chris Nelson, co-chair of the STEM Council. “From industrial manufacturing and technology innovations to entrepreneurship and engineering, communities are learning how to work together to introduce their students to the skillsets needed and opportunities available to them in their hometowns across Iowa.” Beginning today, June 1, the STEM Council invites school+business partnerships across Iowa to submit their proposal to build a STEM BEST model at www. IowaSTEM.gov/STEMBEST/ Proposal. All Iowa private and public schools and school districts serving students in any of grades K-12 are eligible to apply. All six awarded applicants will receive $25,000 to be matched with local costshare and will be designated as an Iowa STEM BEST model. The application window will close on Friday, September 23, and recipients will be announced in early November. To learn more about Iowa STEM BEST, please visit www. IowaSTEM.gov/STEMBEST or register today for the STEM School+Business Innovation Conference set for June 29 at www.IowaSTEM.gov/SchoolBusiness-Conference. to keep the project cost-effective for the County, Guthrie County Engineer Josh Sebern researched the available options and found that the concrete overlay option was the most cost-effective. With an overlay in the plans, Sebern joined forces with the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center in Ames to work on a specific concrete mix design to improve durability and longevity of the pavement. Once the mix design was established, Steve Reneker of Kirkham Michael Consulting Engineers designed the plans. “To pavement nerds like us this is a neat project,” said John Cunningham, Iowa Concrete Paving Association. “It’s increasing the durability of the concrete.” Cunningham said the concrete in Guthrie County will last decades. There are currently five miles of the 10.9-mile project completed, and Cunningham said depending upon Iowa weather, the paving crew will continue to complete slightly more than one mile of paving each day.

Billy and George received a Sustainable Education Research and Education (SARE) grant from North Central SARE FarmerRancher program to test using a roller-crimper to terminate cover crops in corn-soybean production systems, and to determine how an organic bio-soil enhancer affects soil properties and plant health. The event – “Effects of a Custom-Made Roller-Crimper on Rye Cover” – is free to attend, and will feature a lunch provided by local chefs Tony Pille and Chris Place. RSVPs are requested for the meal. Please contact Lauren Zastrow at [email protected] or (515) 232-5661 by Friday, June 10. The field day will take place at George’s farm, Naylor Farm, located at 1204 120th St., a few miles northeast of Churdan. The event is sponsored by Blue River Hybrids Organic Seed, Greene County Soil and Water Conservation District, Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES), North Central SARE and Organic Crop Improvement Association International. Guests will see a field on George’s farm with soybeans emerging from a cereal rye cover crop terminated with the roll- er-crimper a few weeks earlier. They will get to help assess how well the roller-crimper did at terminating the cover crop, and whether the resulting straw mulch is providing weed suppression. Attendees will also get to see the roller-crimper, which was manufactured locally by Minnehan Metal Works, and hear from the builder, Anthony Minnehan. Other speakers will include Ajay Nair and Kathleen Delate, with Iowa State University’s Department of Horticulture, who will share details on 10 years of experience terminating cover crops using a rollercrimper in vegetable and grain production. Billy is in the process of transitioning to organic certification and is incorporating many no-till principles. George raises corn, soybeans, oats and alfalfa, and is transitioning to organic on part of his farm. In preparation for the organic transition, both farmers have recently added buffers and pollinator strips as Conservation Reserve Program quail habitat to attract beneficial insects. Billy has begun beekeeping with two hives. From Ames or Carroll: Take U.S. 30 to Jefferson. At the intersection of U.S. 30 and IA Hwy 4, go north on IA Hwy 4 and travel 8 miles toward Churdan.

DAMAGE TORI’S ANGELS receives DONATION FROM Page 3A The Sheriff’s Office is pursuing the investigation, but so far has not been able to identify the truck and driver responsible for the damage. The only known witnesses to the incident were unable to provide any specific details about what they saw; only that the truck was white. Attempts to search vehicle registration records in Guthrie County for white pickup trucks in the surrounding area were unsuccessful, as the pool of results would have been too large to sift through without any other information about the vehicle. For now, the best course of action would be a tip from the public. The damaged area is part of an 11-mile-long portion of road being repaired, which reaches from Highway 44 to White Pole Road. The original cost of the project was more than $4 million, and it is uncertain how much repairing the damaged road will add to the total, said Guthrie County Engineer Josh Sebern. SPECIAL TO THE VEDETTE Mary Beidelman, treasurer, presented a donation from the Women’s Service Organization to Bill Ridgley, CEO and board chairman of Tori’s Angels Foundation. The latter pays for all expenses not covered by insurance for families with children who have life-threatening conditions.

They begin training and then riding in March, and continue thru July. If they complete RAGBRAI (and nearly all do – about 500 of them over the years), they keep the bicycle and equipment. It costs about $1,000 per Dream Team rider for equipment, training and related expenses.

Bate Law C Inte W 6 wa 5 C to h f page 8A | | THURsday | 06.09.16 politics Judge: Trump will drag Grassley down By DOUGLAS BURNS Guthrie County Vedette SPECIAL TO THE VEDETTE In his nearly 60 years of public service — having first been elected to the Iowa Legislature in 1958 — U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley has run on tickets with many Republicans. Now his name is on the ballot under Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, and that will prove devastating for Grassley’s reelection hopes, Patty Judge, the Democratic candidate for the Senate seat, said in an interview with this newspaper “I think Donald Trump is a liability to Republicans up and down the ticket,” Judge said. Judge, a former lieutenant governor and Iowa secretary of agriculture, says her name recognition and statewide support are crucial in a November match-up with Grassley, a six-term incumbent. “We don’t have time between now and November for people to know who someone is,” Judge said. Judge, 72, said Grassley, 82, has had a career in Congress that has simply spanned too much time. “I think we should talk about term limits,” Judge said. She added, “I don’t think all that tenure is working for us at all.” Judge’s chief line of attack on Grassley is what she terms his “obstruction” of President Barack Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland. Grassley has refused to hold hearings on Garland as chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. Concerns about that decision cross party lines, Judge said. “Republicans are asking him tough questions about why are you doing what you’re doing,” Judge said. W h at ’s more, Judge said, Trump is feeding the obstruction- Patty ist narrative Judge in the Grassley campaign as the presumptive GOP White House nominee takes on an Hispanic judge involved in Trump’s own legal battles. In a Wall Street Journal interview, Trump said U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel had “an absolute conflict” in presiding over civil fraud lawsuits against Trump University given that he was “of Mexican heritage” and a member of a Latino lawyers’ association. According to The Journal, Trump said the background of the judge, who was born in Indiana to Mexican immigrants, was relevant because of his campaign stance against illegal immigration and his pledge to seal the southern U.S. border. “I’m building a wall. It’s an inherent conflict of interest,” Trump said. Judge, in the local interview, said the comments represent ethnic and racial baiting — and that Grassley, as well as Trump, will have to answer for them in the election.

It was developed specifically to enhance the durability of concrete in climates with extreme winters. The PEM concrete on Sebern’s project will be studied by the National CP Tech Center to monitor its durability. The concrete is also being placed directly over the old pavement and is commonly referred to as “whitetoppping”.

This new vegetable looks a little like a tiny cabbage with heads that are loose and composed of greenpurple leaves similar to kale. Crossing kale with brussels spouts is natural since both are from the same group, which also includes cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli. Kalettes combine the best traits of each of its parent vegetables with a fusion of sweet and nutty. Look for them at your local grocery store so you can saute, grill or enjoy them in a salad! infamous as carriers of Lyme disease, an illness that can be transmitted from other infected mammals to humans through ticks. When ticks latch onto humans they can then transmit the Lyme disease if they are infected. When a tick is found, remove it immediately by using tweezers & grasp the tick’s mouthparts where they enter the skin. Pull the tick away from the skin and clean and disinfect the site of the bite. The main outward sign of Lyme disease is a bull’s-eye shaped skin rash at the site of the bite. Other symptoms include arthritis, facial paralysis, neurological & cardiac problems, & general fatigue. Identifying Ticks to Prevent Lyme Disease Ticks are active from March through November. The three most common ticks are the deer tick, wood tick, and the lone star tick. Ticks have become Keeping Fresh Produce Fresh W hen buying fresh produce, avoid placing produce in a sealed plastic bag on your countertop. This slows ripening and may increase off-odors and decay. Store tomatoes, onion, potatoes, melons, bananas, pumpkins and winter squash at room temperature, making sure they are clean, dry, well ventilated, and away from direct sunlight. Avacados, kiwi, peaches, nectarines, pears, and plums should be ripened on the counter, then stored in the refrigerator. Most other fresh produce keeps best stored in the refrigerator. 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.

The N54 project makes use of a new fabric that is incorporated underneath the concrete overlay. In areas on the existing roadway that require patching, the fabric is placed on top of the new patch directly before the new concrete is placed by the slipform paving machine. The fabric interlayer material, as it is known, is relatively new in the United States, but has been in use for some time in Western European countries. The fabric resembles a very thick felt and comes in large rolls, similar to what one might see in a carpet store.

An activity booth will target kids, and the Historical Village’s 12 buildings will be open for viewing, according to the release. Event organizers welcome a free-will donation to support arts efforts in the area. The event will feature a variety of artists whose work will be displayed and sold, including Hailey Gross, Sheri Heiland and Jessica Plotz. Hailey Gross Hailey Gross, 18, grew up in Stuart and has been an artist for as long as she can remember. “I’ve been painting coloring books since I was 4,” she said with a laugh. Gross is a multimedia artist; she does colored pencil drawings, acrylic and oil painting, scratchboard and sculpture. “I’m willing to try a little bit of everything,” she said. She works from her own ideas but by commission as well. She enjoys bright, bold pieces and complimentary colors. “Communicating a message may be with bright textures and colors,” she said. She often incorporates cartoon or pop-culture aspects into her work, typically shying away from realism, but she will create “anything relevant at the time,” Gross said. She creates sculptures as well; a recent piece is a footlong hot tamale made of hot tamales. Gross just graduated from West Central Valley High School and is attending the University of Northern Iowa this fall to study art education and art therapy. She’s looking forward to the chance to paint murals in children’s wings at a hospital in the future and hopes to incorporate art therapy into her work. “If there’s any way I could help someone through some- Hailey Gross, who just graduated from West Central Valley High School in Stuart, will be one of the youngest artists featured at Art in the Village Saturday in Panora. thing or help them with what they’re struggling with in life using art, I’d love to do that,” she said. Sheri Heiland Sheri Heiland has been a potter for decades, first using a pottery kick wheel in high school. She grew up in Panora and has spent time in Eastern Iowa and Oklahoma, and after her move to Guthrie Center about eight years ago, she became actively involved with arts efforts in the area as the Guthrie County Arts Council was created. She became truly interested in pottery when she took a pottery-wheel class in Oklahoma. “It was like I’d just learned something magical,” she said. Heiland also has done silversmithing in the past, but she has concentrated on pottery for years, making pots, bowls, pitchers, jars, coffee mugs, goblets and more. She works exclusively with pottery wheels. “Once you learn a technique of actually being able to make something useful, it’s very soothing to be able to just make something, and you know someone is going to use that eventually to drink their coffee out of or serve their vegetables out of at dinner,” she said. In fact, when Heiland was Artwork from Stuart resident Hailey Gross, such as this black-andwhite cheetah scratchboard piece, will be displayed and sold at Art in the Village Saturday in Panora. living in Eastern Iowa, her daughter Kate visited a college friend in Council Bluffs and was served food from one of Heiland’s bowls. Heiland, 63, has experimented quite a bit lately with new methods in her pottery. She has used pit firing for some time — a process that involves firing her pieces in a brick fire pit outdoors and incorporating sawdust, seaweed, salt, copper carbonate and more. Now, she also is dabbling with obvara firing, which incorporates a fermented liquid, and aluminum foil saggar firing, through which she uses ferric chloride, steel wool, salt, twine and other additives to add different colors to pieces. “I’m stretching myself in my old age,” Heiland said with a laugh. “I’m trying new things — it’s kinda fun.” Jessica Plotz, a clothing designer and crafter, has an inhome workspace in Beaverdale that often includes her children. Her work will be featured at Art in the Village in Panora this Saturday. Jessica Plotz’s children’s clothing designs, which she sells through her business, Gia Rose, will be for sale at Art in the Village Saturday in Panora. Jessica Plotz Jessica Plotz always knew she liked clothes. As a child, she’d draw out clothing designs, even making paper dolls and then crafting clothing items for them. “I’ve always had a love for clothes,” she said. She studied apparel design and merchandising in school but didn’t start making clothes until she had her first daughter, Gianna Rose. People began asking her about her daughter’s clothes, and Plotz’s clothing business, Gia Rose, was born about six years ago. Plotz has an Etsy shop online where she sells her designs; she typically creates a fall and spring collection, although she also takes some custom orders. She designs everything she sells and sews the majority of it, working with two additional seamstresses when she is particularly busy. Plotz, 30, now has three children: Gianna, 6; Cora, 3; and Daxton, 9 months. They all wear her designs — and so does their mother. The family lives in Beaverdale, near Des Moines. More recently, Plotz expanded into women’s clothing as well. The designing is her favorite part of the work, but she loves sewing and meeting customers as well. Plotz describes her designs as modern and trendy, using popular fabrics. This is her first year being involved with Art in the Village, although she knows other artists who have participated in the past. She’s looking forward to being a part of the mix. “I like when it’s hand-made items,” Plotz said. “That’s my niche.” ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME...WITHOUT THE WORRIES! Got Radon?

The Kipp family plans to add a sign or a stone that shares what the park is about with hopes to have it in place by the town’s annual Fourth of July celebration. Paige Kipp, who shares a July 29 birthday with her grandpa, said he wouldn’t want all this fuss over him. “He wouldn’t want this attention,” she said. Still, she’s glad to have a place that reminds her and her family of him. “Everybody liked grandpa,” she said. Her Canadian birthplace is a great icebreaker, and Ware has enjoyed return visits to the country throughout the years, but she doesn’t consider herself a Canadian, she said. “But I am proud to be connected to the country,” she said. “It’s a beautiful country.” Her family now is in Newton, New Jersey, where Ware spent the last decade growing up on a hobby farm that has included cows — Ware isn’t a fan of the bovine beasts — as well as Boer and Saanen goats, silkie and Rhode Island Red chickens, cats, a dog, sheep and formerly a horse. Her mother keeps a garden and orchard there, and her father grows hay. Ware’s parents are Sheila and Mike Ware of Newton, New Jersey. Mike is a chemical engineer, and Sheila, who previously worked at a bank and as a model, has been a stay-at-home mom for all of Ware’s life. Ware has three siblings: Austin, 29; Kristin, almost 16; and Collin, 11. She cycled through a variety of career plans before settling on her final choice. She’d considered pediatrics, forensic science and more. She ultimately selected journalism because of her lifelong love of reading and writing, when a lastminute college decision required a switch in major. “I was like, all right, life change, let’s go,” she said. “I picked journalism because it’s something I’m good at. I thought, ‘I’m not gonna pick rocket science, because I just can’t build a rocket.’” Her boyfriend, Ethan Stoetzer, also just graduated from Rowan University and is working as a reporter at the Mitchell County Press, based in Osage, and living in Mason City. They met first in a class, when Stoetzer sardonically chronicled the entire class on Twitter — Ware hated him then — and later worked together at Rowan University’s student newspaper. They ended up in the same apartment complex, where Ware, who also studied psychology, determined that proximity contributed to the inevitable — they began dating and have been together for about a year. “I do not hate him anymore,” she joked.

Someone would approach me on the street; in a school or in the courthouse; at the open window of my car. “So, I hear you’re leaving.” Before I’d ever made a formal announcement of any sort, the word was out, so to speak. But that’s Guthrie County, I’ve found. As of this week, I’ll be leaving the Guthrie County coverage I’ve done for two years and writing full-time at Herald Publishing Co.’s Carrollbased newspaper, the Daily Times Herald, where I’ve spent about half my time since I began working for this company. So, I’m not leaving — I’m just shifting a bit. Ashley Schable, editor of the Guthrie Center Times, the Guthrie County Vedette and the Lake Panorama Times, and Caitlin Ware, our newest reporter who is living in Panora, will continue to cover everything going on in Guthrie County. You’ll be in good hands. And I won’t disappear. Guthrie County’s businesses, its art shows, its schools, its restaurants, even its jail — and most of all, its people — have become a part of my life.

Ware will be living downtown in Panora with her young cat, Flynn, a tabby — although she’d love to You overwhelmed me. From the people who patiently walked me through the c o u n t y ’s workings, to those who bonded with me ov e r o u r pets, to the Rebecca strangers McKinsey who waved when passing me on the street, every time — Guthrie County has made me feel welcome. I haven’t had the chance to personally say goodbye to everyone I’ve met or worked with during the last two years, and I apologize for that. Know, though, that I appreciate you all. Thank you for welcoming me into your homes, businesses, offices, classrooms, patrol cars, hospital rooms and lives. Thank you for taking my last-minute calls for interviews and for answering my “urgent” emails about naming every single child in the photos I took. Thank you for reading and reacting to my articles — even when you didn’t like them. Thank you for enveloping an outsider who now feels very much at home in your county. You can still reach me anytime at [email protected]. Cat photos are always welcome. say he has some Bengal in him, because it sounds more exotic, she said. She adopted Flynn just before leaving New Jersey, and he made the 17-hour trek with her.

THURsday | 06.09.16 | June is Great Outdoors Month Guthrie County fair retirees recognized Iowa DNR The 2016 summer recreation season is just getting started and there are plenty of days ahead to enjoy the outdoors. Governor Terry Branstad recently proclaimed June as Great Outdoors Month, encouraging all Iowans and visitors to take the time to enjoy the state’s recreational opportunities, take in its scenic beauty and make a commitment to stewardship of our natural resources. Great Outdoors Month is designed to focus on the importance of simple outdoor activity and appreciation of Iowa’s natural resources, by promoting biking, swimming, hiking, paddling, fishing, hunting, boating, bird watching, camping and general nature exploration of our lakes, prairies, woodlands, rivers and wetlands. “Iowa has outstanding opportunities for safe, fun outdoor recreation,” says DNR Director Chuck Gipp, “and getting outdoors promotes good health and helps create lasting memories with friends and family.” The economic impact of outdoor recreation nationally exceeds $650 billion in annual expenditures, and in Iowa, it supports an estimated 105,000 jobs. Iowa’s parks, forests and wildlife areas reflect the state’s natural and cultural history and attract millions of recreationists each year. Iowa’s state parks alone expect to host more than 900,000 overnight stays and nearly 15 million day visits this year. “Enjoyment of Iowa’s outdoors allows us to celebrate the commitment of our state to conserve and protect our air, water, wildlife and lands,” says Gipp, “and also contribute to conservation efforts through various licenses and fees. Iowans understand, as well as anyone, the direct relationship between natural resource conservation and the quality of life in our state.” For ideas on what to do or where to go to enjoy Iowa’s great outdoors, visit: www.iowadnr. gov; www.traveliowa.com or www.mycountyparks.com SPECIAL TO THE VEDETTE Guthrie County Fair President Grant Sheeder (center) presents plaques to Estel Sharon (left), a longtime groundskeeper and maintenance person for the fairgrounds, and Betty Whitehead, a longtime superintendent of the Art Hall, to recognize their years of service with the fair as they retire.

This past spring, 20 schools and/or communities received more than $62,000 in Trees For Kids grants to plant more than 900 trees around the state. Over the life of these trees, they will save more than 310,000 kilowatt hours of electricity by shading buildings and more than 68,000 therms, by slowing winds and reducing building heat loss. During their lifespan, the 900 trees planted this spring will help reduce flooding by intercepting more than 39.8 million gallons of storm water, and will reduce more than 5.3 million pounds PRIMARY | page 3B Not interested in sleeping in a tent?
