Magic act kicks off local summer reading programs
By CAITLIN WARE | [email protected]
K
eith West and his assistant Miss Kitty The
Library Lady brought a touch of magic to
inspire local children to read as part of local
libraries’ summer reading programs.
To kick off the programs, the
Des Moines-based magician duo
held shows for the Panora Public
Library and the Mary J. Barnett
library in Guthrie Center on June
9. Every year, the state decides
what the program theme will be,
and all Iowa libraries plan their
summer activities around it. This
year, the theme is “On Your Mark,
Get Set, Read,” which was the
main focus of the performances.
West and Miss Kitty started
the day off in Veterans Auditorium in Panora, where they
performed for an audience of
nearly 40 children from town
and Little Panthers Daycare, as
well as several Lakeside Village
Assisted Living care residents.
After a few warm up card tricks,
West’s first volunteer Evynn Stagg,
6, came to the front of the auditorium. West made a series
of red foam balls appear in her

the GCAC seeks to bring in a variety
of artists, all with a different skill
set. This time around, the mediums
on display ranged from painting,
photography and pottery to glass
work, sewn items and henna body
art. The artists chosen for this year
were of all ages and experience levels, and hailed from all over Iowa.
About half of them were Guthrie

Panorama Schools Superintendent Shawn Holloway has
proposed a possible change to
the school eligibility rules for
participation in extra-curricular
activities.
Holloway informed the Panorama school board Monday
evening “guilt by association“
is being dropped. Currently a
student present at a forbidden
activity, but who does not participate, is ineligible.
All other provisions for eligibility would remain the same,
though the overall wording has
changes.
The superintendent was slated to present what he calls the
“Good Conduct Provision and
Rules” to the School Advisory
Improvement Committee yesterday (Wednesday) for their
input.
Eventually any changes will
be approved by the school board
after the “conduct and provision” revision by Holloway is
checked out by the school’s attorney.

“He’s about to feel a draft in
about 18 places,” West joked.
To the surprise of the younger onlookers, the poles came
through the table and passed
through the top of the wooden
covering without harming Kline.
Murmurings of “he’s still alive”
and “I thought he was going to
die” passed down the rows of

The show took a turn for the
terrifying when West brought
out a table with 18 sharp poles
protruding out the top, and informed volunteer Hunter Kline,
6, that he would be climbing on
top of it.
The children in the audience
glanced nervously at each other — some even covered their
eyes — and Kline shook his head

The construction project on County Road N54
continued with County Engineer Josh Sebern
getting approved for a $1.5 million advance
during the June 14 Guthrie County Board of
Supervisors meeting.
The concrete overlay on the 10.9-mile section
of road from Highway 44 south to County Road
F65 began in May. Now that the concrete has
been laid and dried, attention will shift to road
shoulder work. The first leg of the $4 million
project was paid for with a $2 million advance
from Guthrie County State Bank. In order to
pay for the remaining work to be done, Sebern
asked for another advance of $1.5 million.
“I’m needing more [money], since the majority of the paving is done,” Sebern said. “The
bills are coming in for the work.”
All of the money for the construction advanced through the bank will be paid back
through Tax Increment Financing (TIF). The
process allows income gathered through wind
turbines north of I-80 near Adair to be put towards the road, as well as local bridge projects.
In addition, the board approved Sebern’s
agreement with the Iowa Department of Transportation to replace the “Richland 306” bridge
with the help of federal funding. The bridge is
located on Victory Avenue, northwest of Jamaica, in Guthrie County. Due to its age and
deterioration levels, the bridge is unusable for
most agricultural needs, as it is only load rated
to hold 18 tons.

Bacon and biking come together at 3rd annual BACoon Ride
By CAITLIN WARE
[email protected]
Since 2014, exercising and
snacking have found a happy
marriage in the annual BACoon
Ride, and this year is no exception.
Put together by the Iowa Bicycle Coalition, the Blue Ribbon
Bacon Festival and the Register’s
Annual Great Bike Ride Across
Iowa (RAGBRAI), the BACoon
bicycle ride allows biking enthusiasts to experience the Racoon
River Valley trail while sampling
bacon themed treats along the
way.
The 3rd annual ride — dubbed
“BACoon Ride Tr3s” — will take
place on Saturday, June 18, from
7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.
The official map for the ride
starts in Waukee and passes
through Adel, Redfield, Linden, Panora, Yale, Herndon,
Jamaica, Dawson, Perry, Minburn and Dallas Center, before
ending back in Waukee for the
night. The entire route is 71 miles
long, although bikers have the
option of starting at different
points to shorten the length of
the ride. Riders are expected to
be in Panora Saturday between
8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Because it is not a mass ride,
there is no universal start time
where everyone has to launch
at once. Riders just have to leave
from Centennial Park in Waukee — or their preferred starting point — between 7:00 and
10:00 a.m.
All of the official stops in
each town will prepare a bacon themed snack, and some
will offer drink specials that in-

The $5,000 donation to

“This building will be a

Sheriff’s office
Warnings
and citations
up during
recent STEP
patrol
By CAITLIN WARE
[email protected]
The Guthrie County Sheriff’s
Office made seven narcotics arrests during its most recent “STEP
” patrol.
The office conducts waves as
part of the state’s Special Traffic
Enforcement Program (STEP).
During holiday weeks and some
weekends, extra officers are sent
out on patrol to gather data on
the number of offenses encountered. Those numbers are then
submitted to the state for record
purposes. In exchange, the department receives several thousand
dollars from the state for equipment each year.
This most recent period ran
from May 23 to June 5, according
to Guthrie County Sheriff Marty
Arganbright. Over the course of
two weeks around Memorial Day,
the sheriff’s office issued 168 citations and wrote 335 warnings.
The most citations — 22 — were
given for speeding. The highest
number of warnings also went
to speeding, with 90. There were
also seven citations given out for
operating under the influence of
alcohol or drugs, as well as seven
narcotics arrests and four felony
arrests.
The goal of the program is to
remind people not to speed, drink
or text while driving, and to adhere
to safety regulations — whether
through warnings or tickets.
“We’re really not doing this to
make people mad,” Arganbright
said in a previous interview. “It’s
really to educate the public.”
OBITUARIES
Keith D. Wirt, 85, son of
Alva Wirt and Angie Dickey
Wirt, was born on a farm
south of Panora, Iowa on
March 19, 1931. He passed
away on Wednesday, June 8,
2016 at the same farmhouse
where he was born.
Funeral services were Monday, June 13, 2016 at the
Panora United Methodist
Church. Burial in the Morrisburg Cemetery, rural Stuart.
Memorials may be left to the
Panorama Athletic Department.
Keith graduated from Panora High School in 1948 and
married Betty J. Wine at the
Little Brown Church in Nashua on June 2, 1951. Keith was
a life-long farmer taking over
the family farm in the mid50’s and continued farming
and raising cattle up to the
time of his death. He loved
sports and followed and sup-
ported his own children and
grandchildren throughout
their high school careers and
maintained an active interest
all of his life. He would often
remark that he should be
home planting corn or combining soybeans but his true
love for athletics always took
precedence.
Keith also gave much to his
community, serving on various boards including the local
telephone, school, township
and REC organizations. He
took great pleasure in serving the Guthrie County REC
for over 25 years and rose to
be an active member serving as president of the Central Iowa Power Company.
For a man who would brag
that he’d never read a book
he could be seen later in life
donning a businessman’s suit
and briefcase and hopping a
plane for meetings in various
cities around the country. He
gave much of himself for others. Keith also was a lifelong
member of the local Methodist church. Many considered
him a man of honesty and
integrity and kindness.
He is survived by sons,
Douglas (Jean) Wirt of Ankeny; Kevin (Kate) Wirt of
Panora; Tobin (Robert) Wirt
of Sandwich, Massachusetts; and daughter, Cynthia
(David) Chew of Madison,
Mississippi; 8 grandchildren
and 17 great-grandchildren;
sisters, Juanita Putney of
Indianola, Iowa; and Virgie
Ravetz of Chico, California;
and many loving nieces and
nephews.
He was preceded in death
by his parents, wife Betty in
2003, and 6 brothers and sisters.

Special to the Vedette
jefferson
Wild Rose Casino & Resort in
Jefferson has rolled out a summer entertainment line-up with
something for everyone.
It’s a little bit country, and a
little bit rock ’n’ roll, with some
laughs thrown in for good measure.
Among the headliners in the
Greene Room Events Center are
Blood, Sweat & Tears, Hairball
and BJ Thomas as well as comedians John Caparulo and
Z*Stonish (hypnotist and comic).
“From day one, a major part of
our value proposition to Greene
County and the surrounding area
hinged on filling the publicly recognized entertainment void with
quality music, concerts, shows
and events,” said Aaron Harn,
marketing director. “While it may
be trite, ‘if you build it, they will
come’ aptly describes what we
have experienced over the past
year as we featured a mix of old
favorites and rising stars.”
“We are continuing that momentum this summer and offering music or other entertainment
nearly every week,” he added.
The Greene Room
Events Center’s summer
lineup includes:
June 18 — Blood Sweat and
Tears, featuring Bo Bice and
Dylan Elise
July 8 — John Caparulo, (Chelsea Lately, Vince Vaughn Wild
West)
July 14 — Z*Stonish Hypnotist
and Comedian Dinner and Show
Aug. 5 — Hairball, Anniversary Celebration, arena rock

A WILDLY COMPETITIVE EVENT
Another opportunity for new bands and local artists to
strum their stuff occurs on Saturday, Aug. 13, with “Wild
Battle of the Bands.” The competition features a cash prize
pool of $1,750, with winners judged on a rubric of four
criteria that includes crowd response. Bands are already
signing up for the battle. The deadline for sign-up is Aug. 1.
“Audience connection and interaction will be a big part of
this event, so we’re inviting participating bands to work
their social networks and bring their fans,” Harn explained.
“The Wild Battle is a way for us to support local music and
expose our guests to a variety of talent.”

CAR BUYING TIPS
Is leasing a car right for you?
Some people like to drive a
new car every two or three
years. Leasing isn’t only a
dollar and cents question,
it’s about personal taste and
priorities.
Leasing is simply an alternative of financing. The first
thing to do is establish the
purchase price. Then compare
leasing and financing side by
side. Obviously payment is the
simplest thing to compare. In
most cases a three year lease
payment is similar to a five
year conventional loan.
Leasing usually allows you
more vehicle for the money
because with a lease you’re
not paying for the whole car,
rather just paying to use it for
two or three years and then
turning it back into the leasing company.
When you set up your lease
you should make sure you are
covered under warranty the
whole time and do not have to
replace tires or brakes. This
is a big advantage of the lease
because you can set it up so
your payment, gas and oil
changes are the only outgoing costs in a lease.
Some people are concerned
that you don’t have equity in
a lease, however, there is no
risk of being upside down
and you know what price you
can purchase the vehicle for
when you sign the lease. So if
the car is worth more at the
end of the lease than what
you can buy it for then you
could purchase it and sell it
for a profit. If it is worth less
you can walk away with no
strings attached.
When you want to learn
about leasing it would be
wise to have someone who
understands both leasing and
buying options on your side.

OPINION
douglas
burns
taking note
Why we need
at least six
political parties
R
aising the topic of more viable parties in American
politics is an awful lot like speculating about a cure
for the common cold. It would seem inevitable, and
do so much good. It’s also something of a head-shaking lost
cause.
But if former New York
Mayor Michael “Nancy Nanny” Bloomberg thinks he can
pry gulpish-sized sodas from
the fleshy hands of millions
of overweight people in his
city, envisioning an American
political system with more
than organized Democrats
and well-heeled Republicans
isn’t entirely ridiculous.
Yes, money and the influence of the Citizens United
decision is devastating to our
democracy.
But having watched campaigns for two decades the
primary problem I see is this:
it’s a zero-sum game. If Mitt
Romney or Donald Trump’s
campaign stumbles because
one said something silly
about Hispanics or someone
only loosely in his ideological
camp pumps out comments
on women more appropriate
for the boozy office of “Mad
Men’s” Don Draper, we see
Hillary Clinton or President
Barack Obama’s fortunes
climb slightly.
Should job numbers
emerge weaker than expected at the end of a quarter,
or if Jeremiah Wright delivers a provocative sermon, or
a new spin on the Clinton
email server hits the media,
then throw the dynamic in
reverse. The daily cascade of
emails and blog posts and
talk radio spouting reflects
this. Build up, knock down,
build up, knock down. It’s
like match play in golf.
In this two-party circus
of big tents, New York’s Al
Sharpton and West Virginia’s
Joe Manchin, are both Dem-
ocrats, and Terry Branstad
and Bob Vander Plaats, the
latter with his pre-Iowa statehood era perspective, call
themselves Republicans.
This contributes to a politics turning more on cult of
personality than platforms
of ideas. Obama is either the
secular Black Jesus or a foreign interloper. Imagine the
fate of the Democratic Party
for two election cycles had
John Edwards been its standard-bearer as he carried on
with a paramour. Let’s not
forget, he was the vice presidential candidate in 2004.
The way to curtail this
destructive politics and to
jettison the hero worshipping and the devil casting
is not just the addition of a
third party, the pipe dream
of good folks in the middle
coming together around
someone with an accountant’s eye for numbers and a
special-education teacher’s
patience.
No we need at least six viable political parties: Social
Conservative, Libertarian,
Liberal, Democratic Moderates, Republican Moderates
and something akin to The
Green Party, one operating
with the noble philosophy
we are but temporary stewards of the planet. Maybe
even a Rural Party — since
we are 20 percent of the population and could build a
political organization to fight
in a world where the demographics are trending against
us on central issues.
Iowa State University’s Steffen Schmidt has talked about
the multi-party concept as
well. He suggests four parties.
Too often, taking the
Americans Elect approach,
attempts at the third party
are made with an eye on
White House politics, Which
makes sense. It’s national.
The whole country is watching.
But what if a collection of
the ideological elite selected
one state — say Iowa, since
we are something of a political Garden of Eden — and
established multiple parties, recruited candidates
for county and legislative
offices, established platforms and headquarters. All
at once. The year 2000 saw
the temporary relevance of
the Green Party in the form
of Ralph Nader as a spoiler.
That’s destructive and plays
into the zero-summing of
politics.
With more parties, Americans could build loyalties
to ideas, to platforms, that
would have at the top of
them leaders who are easily exchanged, more disposable servants of the agenda
than indispensable personalities. Edwards cheats on
The Liberals? Get someone
else. Some candidate for The
Social Conservatives gets
caught in a state park restroom with a boy? Cut him
loose.
Think how the news cycles
and the flow of political dialogue would change. If the
Democratic Moderates took
a PR hit it wouldn’t necessarily — by default — boost
the standing of the Moderate Republicans. Our elected
officials would have to develop coalitions to govern. Its
takes the skills of builders to
do this.
The experiments of the
Greens and the failure of
Americans Elect aren’t bold
enough. You can’t build just
a third party. The change will
come when several advocates of new parties pick a
common spot and develop
the infrastructure with an eye
on a state legislature.
Spend the billions now
on advertisements and
PACs and tilt one election or
change the system for the
long haul. Of course, columnists are great at spending
other people’s money.

the themed goodies were no
longer guaranteed. Registration will remain open all the

ing any merchandise.
After paying for the amenities needed for the ride, such
as highway patrol and portable
bathrooms, all of the proceeds
gathered through the registration fees will go towards the
Iowa Bicycle Coalition and
Iowa-based charities. By the
time the dust settled from last
year’s ride, that number was
$53,000.
“It’s a good fundraisert all
across the board,” said Executive Director of the Iowa Bicycle Coalition Mark Wyatt,
who participates in the ride
every year.
Last year, approximately 2,850
riders registered, and Wyatt anticipates having just as many,
if not more, ready and raring
to ride this weekend.
For those looking to start the
festivities a day early, there will
be a pre-party in Waukee on
Friday, June 17. “Bacon Sizzles
Waukee,” as the party is being
called, will take place in Centennial Park from 5:00 to 10:00
p.m. There will be vendors offering “bacon delicacies,” live
music and a beer garden.

Miss Kitty The Library Lady and Keith West get some assistance from Evynn Stagg, 6, as the
Des Moines-based magician duo held a show for the Panora Public Library on June 9 at
Veterans Auditorium in Panora. Stagg said her favorite part of the show was getting to be a
volunteer, although she was a little scared when she had to stand on top of a table.
LIBRARY
FROM Page 1A
“It didn’t even hurt,” Kline
said with a grin.
Other tricks included a dancing handkerchief trapped inside
of a bottle, making a volunteer
levitate and pulling coins from
behind the ears of spectators.
“[It went] very well,” said
Panora Public Library Director Kim Finnegan of the hour
long show. “I thought they did a
good job. The kids like that kind
of entertainment. It was great.”
Panora’s summer reading
program rewards participants
with a prize for every five books
they read.
“Kids feel good when you
reward them for reading,”
Finnegan said.
At the Mary J. Barnett Library a few hours later, West
and Miss Kitty performed the
same routines for an audience
of 26 children and their parents, with a tighter focus on the
importance of libraries. West
compared libraries to travel
agencies and time machines,
because the books they hold
have the ability to teach readers about places and eras they
will never be able to experience
for themselves.
“The library can take you anywhere in the world,” West said.
“We can treasure the knowledge
we get from books and materials here in the library. Coming to the library can be a life
changing experience.”
Participants lose one-fourth
of a season of eligibility for involvement with such things as
alcohol, drugs, tobacco, theft,
vandalism, weapons, hazing
and non-minor law violations.
Self-reporting of an offense lessens the penalty to one-eighth
of a season.
As for academic eligibility, the
school uses guidelines put out
by the Iowa High School Athletic Association. Junior high
eligibility is based primarily on
administrative decision.
Holloway said dispositions
for a lawsuit the school and
four other schools are involved
in should take place in July or
August.
They are seeking reimbursement from an Indiana firm that
sold them KUNO tablets, which
the schools say are ineffective.
Holloway, the information tech
person and various faculty
members will be interviewed.
Principals Mary Breyfogle (elementary) and Thad Stanley
(middle/high school) supplied
the board with graphs showing the proficiency (percentage
meeting a standard) of students

Keith West brought a touch of magic to inspire local
children to read as part of the Panora Library’s summer
reading program on June 9.
Mary J. Barnett Library Director Pat Sleister originally came
up with the idea to have West
and Miss Kitty visit as part of
their summer tour after seeing
advertisements for the group.
The library had not had a magician in a long time, and since
the Panora library also booked
them, both venues got a discount on the performance.
“I loved it, I thought it was
great,” Sleister said.
The Mary J. Barnett Library
summer reading program rewards young readers with prizes
based off of the number of minutes they read, or are read to.
“Kids lose so much during
the summer when they don’t do
anything. That’s what we want
to do, keep up those skills. Keep
them busy, keep them in the
library, keep them reading.”

Lady entertains the crowd

Library’s summer reading
kick-off on June 9.

The anticipated total cost of
the replacement is $475,000.
Eighty percent of the amount
will be paid for with federal
dollars, and the remaining 20
percent will be paid for with
local dollars. The 20 percent
will come from local property,
produce and gas taxes. Currently, the bridge is only in
the design phase, so it is uncertain when construction
will start.
“As things progress [and]
we get through our design reviews, then we’ll start to nail
down when construction will
take place,” Sebern said.
Director of the Guthrie
County Conservation Board
(GCCB) Joe Hanner also announced the hire of a new
GCCB Natural Resource Manager. Monroe, Iowa resident
Ethan Vander Pole was chosen
in math, reading and science.
The data was based on Iowa
Assessment results and included all students and also those
who’d attended just Panorama.
Board members Deb Douglass
said there’s been a decline in
some grades in the latter category.
“We have increased the time
for literacy,” Breyfogle said, and
the staff will continue to ask
“is it (a method)) doing what
we want it to?”
Stanley said increased student growth comes through
professional development by
the faculty. He pointed out some
faculty members volunteer time
to aid struggling students with
special attention.
“The parents appreciate it,”
he said. In board action, Caden Duncan was hired for elementary
PE and Lindsey Kruse for middle/high school special ed. The
go-ahead to transfer was given
Laurie Behrends from Title I
reading to third grade and Kelly
Blomquist from kindergarten
to second grade.
Several fees were increased
slightly. The cost for driver’s ed
will raise $25.00 to $250.00.
Meals are raised a dime to
$1.60 for student breakfasts
and to $2.10 for adult lunches.
Substitute teacher pay is now
$110, a hike of $10.00 per day.
Okay was given for a cross
country fundraiser of pumping
gas and washing windows at
Casey’s on June 25 for a free-will
donation. And the board signed
off on overnight trip to Carroll
by the girls basketball team for
a team camp July 21-22.
Jessica Prince resigned as
high school speech coach and
as an athletic coach.
Anderson Erickson Dairy had
the only bid for dairy products.
No bid was received for bakery items, but the board did
approve a contract in advance
with Bimbo, which is expected
to submit the only bid.
Permission for open enrollment out was given two students.
The board approved four
legislative priorities: 1. Setting
supplemental state aid, 2. No
unfunded mandates, 3. Keeping the state penny sales tax for
infrastructure and 4. Greater
flexibility by local school boards.
Also - There were 11,382
lunches and 4,067 breakfasts
served in May.
The next regular board meeting is Monday, July 11 at 6:30
p.m.
from a pool of 19 applicants.
Of that number, seven were
selected for an interview. After one candidate withdrew,
and the remaining six were
interviewed and evaluated,
Vander Pole was deemed the
best person for the job.
“Through that whole process, we came to the conclusion that [Vander Pole] was the
best fit out of the candidate
pool that we had for the job,”
Hanner said. “He did a good
job in the interviewing process, he had very good references and recommendations,
it looked like a good fit.”
In the past Vander Pole has
held seasonal positions with
the Jasper County Conservation Board and the Marion
County Conservation Board,
where he currently works.
Nothing is set in stone, but
Hanner anticipates Vander
Pole will start work around
the last weekend in June. He
will be taking over the posi-
tion formerly filled by Brad
Halterman, who started work
this month as project manager for the Lake Panorama
Association. Vander Pole and
his wife will be moving into a
residence in Nations Bridge
Park as soon as he finishes
his last few days of work in
Marion County.
As part of his new role in
Guthrie County, Vander Pole
will handle roadside vegetation management, spot spraying, park trails and wildlife areas within the scope of GCCB.
“I think he’ll bring a good
base of experience from his
past positions, and for sure
enthusiasm and willingnesss
to learn,” Hanner said. “We’re
hopeful it will be a tremendous
addition to the conservation
staff and program.”

eled from Des Moines, Ames,
Boone and other towns.
Attendees were able to stroll in
and out of different booths and
visit with the artists, while being serenaded with musical performances by Chad Elliott, Jake
Kemble, Brick Imerman and Dale
Menning & the Stardusters. And
when they got hungry, PJ’s Drive
In restaurant was on site serving
up burgers and root beer floats.
Visitors were also encouraged to
explore the historical buildings in
the village. In honor of the event,
the typical fee to tour was waived,
and everything was open to the
public for free.
“Guthrie County Art Council’s
mission is to promote and support the arts,” said council copresident Lynsi Pasutti. “So the
event is driven by that, providing an opportunity for area artists
to display and sell their artwork,
[and] providing an opportunity
for area residents to experience
the arts.”
First-time participant Sarah
Norman came to share her work
with henna body art — a traditional form of temporary tattooing that dyes the skin a brown or
orange color. Norman specializes
in maternity henna, where she
covers pregnant women’s bellies
in vibrant patterns. What sets her
apart from other henna artists is
that she makes the ink she uses
herself to ensure it is organic. Unlike most inks, she uses no preservatives or additional dyes. Her
recipe consists of leaves from the
henna plant, powdered lemon
juice, lavender and sugar.
“That way I know it’s fresh, safe
and of the highest quality,” Norman said.
She explained that although
the organic henna takes longer to fully dye the skin — two
to three days — it stains darker
and lasts longer.
“Real henna takes more care, but
it’s totally worth it,” Norman said.
People interested in getting a
henna tattoo were able to pick
a design and a price range, with
the option of topping them off
with glitter.
Recent graduates of West Central Valley High School in Stuart
Cole Hawley, 17, and Hailey Gross,
18, were also there for the first
time, and were some of the youngest to present artwork. Hawley
displayed a collection of photographs, mostly of local nature and
sights in Iowa. Gross brought a
mix of drawings and paintings
created with charcoal, acrylics
and scratch boards.
“I work on a little bit of everything,” Gross said. “Mostly brightly
colored, in-your-face kind of stuff.”
Both recently became members
of GCAC and plan to pursue their
passion for art as they continue
their education in the fall. Hawley will attend Des Moines Area
Community College and major
in network telecommunications
with a minor in photography.
“I want to keep expanding, having fun and enjoying one of my
passions,” Hawley said.
Gross intends to go to University of Nothern Iowa where she
will double major in art education and art therapy. Her experiences with seeing the impact
art can have on people is what
led her to decide to also study
art therapy.
“I’ve learned how my art can
affect people, how it can affect
them emotionally,” Gross said. “I
just want them to enjoy it.”
Urbandale high school art
teacher by day Chris Kimble
started making pennants about
a year ago in his free time, and
brought a collection of them to
his booth. Some had images and
phrases from “Star Wars,” or were
emblazoned with the message
“crayons rock.”
“I like giving nerdy things a
little ra-ra,” Kimble said.
Others bore a more playful
design, such as one green and
white pennant that read “Iowans
have a huge caucus” along side
a grinning state of Iowa flashing
a thumbs up. In addition to the
pennants, Kimble also brought
several prints he made. He said
he experienced some negative
feedback from people who passed
through his booth because of a
print of Hillary Clinton he had
on display.
“I don’t want to make anything
I wouldn’t hang on my own wall,”
Kimble said of the reactions.
Kim Hutchison traveled from
Des Moines to share her mission to create environmentally
responsible bags. Hutchinson
has been making clutches and
over the shoulder bags for the
past six years. She tries to use recycled vintage fabric or clothing
for many of the bags she designs.
One bag on display in her booth
was made from a combination of
an old pair of pants and a skirt.
Even the price tags on her products were cut out of recycled cereal boxes.
“There’s a lot of stuff out there in
the world, clothing has become so
much more disposable,” Hutchison said. “I like to reuse as much
as I possibly can.”
When she does purchase new
fabric for her designs, she tries
to find ones that are “made with
conscience.” It was her first time
participating in Art in the Village,
and based off her experience this
year, she would like to come back.
“It’s a great event,” Hutchison
said. “I love the setup and the music. I’m very excited to be here.”
Fewer people attended this
year’s event than in the past,
which Pasutti attributed to how
hot the weather was.
“I would definitely like to see
more visitors [come] to the event,”
Pasutti said. “I was a bit disappointed with the turnout, but not
really surprised because of the
forecast. It was hot. That definitely
affected the crowd. It was much
slower than past years. But overall, I think the people that did
come out enjoyed themselves
and bought some art. We really
appreciate everyone that [came]
out [to] support the arts.”

Panthers get first
win against Tigers
The Panorama softball team
continues to hit the ball and posted four wins on the diamond,
upping their record to 9-4 overall.
The Panthers got off to a hot
start on the road against Guthrie
Center on Tuesday, scoring three
runs in the top of the first inning,
and defeating the Tigers 7-3.
Panorama got a one-hitter
from senior Aaron Klinge
on the hill and the Panthers
scored just enough runs to win
their first game of the season,
4-1, over Guthrie Center on
Monday, June 14.
Klinge gave up just one hit
-- a single by Guthrie Center
sophomore Caden Wardyn
-- and kept the Tiger batters
off balance all night.
The Panthers plated two
runs in the third and sixth innings. Guthrie Center scored
their lone run in the bottom
of the sixth.
Freshman Gabe Rowley took
the loss for Guthrie Center. He
threw the first three innings,
allowing two runs on two hits
and a walk. Senior Trey Wickland finished the game, giving
up two runs (both earned) on
four hits with a one and six
strikeouts over four innings.

runs scored for the Panthers.
Senior Aaron Klinge had two
hits, two RBI and scored a run.
Others driving in runs for
Panorama were Jeramy Randol and Blaine Barber. Tanner
Godfrey also had a single for
the Panthers.
A trio of Panthers worked
on the hill, including a pair of
underclassmen. Freshmen Jacob Iseminger threw 4 innings,
allowing 6 runs (4 earned) on
3 hits with three walks and 2
strikeouts. Sophomore Barber
pitched 3 1/3 frames, allowing 2 runs (both earned) on
3 hits with two walks and a
pair of K’s. Senior Trent Sloss
worked 1/3 of an inning and
issued one base on balls.

Panorama sent two teams
to the State Coed Class 1A golf
tournament held at the American Legion Golf Course in Marshalltown on Tuesday, June 7.
The Panthers set two new school
records.
Adrienne Powell and Reid
Cobb came into the clubhouse
first for the Panthers and finished their 18-hole round with a
score of 87 which tied the school
record set by Jaron Smool and
Ashley Marks in 2007. Five minutes later, the Panorama team
of Christin Koch and Will Babcock carded an 84 to break the
school record.
Winning the tournament was
the brother-sister team of Jaden
and Logan Schweinefus from
South Winneshiek shooting a
round of 70.
“Although they didn’t come
home with medals, it was a
great day of golf and breaking
the school record was an added
bonus,” said Panther coach Debbie Rockwell. “The tournament is
meant to be a fun, enjoyable way
to end the season play and that
was definitely accomplished.”

retriever named Lambeau (after
the iconic Green Bay, Wisconsin,
football stadium beloved by its
owners).
In the first-of-its-kind hearing
at City Hall — a pooch trial, if you
will — Council members heard
the case of Lambeau, a dog Carroll police defined as a vicious
animal after it attacked and bit
the chest May 22 of a passerby,
20-year-old Broderick Swantek,
on North West Street, sending
Swantek to the St. Anthony Regional Hospital emergency room
for treatment.
Swantek, 1764 N. West St., who
was walking to work as a baker at
Dunkin Donuts, 821 U.S. Highway
30, said the wound bled into his
shirt. The dog’s rabies shot had
expired in February, but Swantek
said he had no further health issues after the attack.
The dog’s owners, Jacob and
Katie Landon, 1618 N. West St.,
challenged the police department’s vicious ruling before the
Council.
“I love my dog too much,” Katie Landon told the Daily Times
Herald before defending Lambeau at the Farner Government
Building podium.
The City Council voted 5-0 to
affirm the police department’s
assessment of the dog.
According to City Code, the
Landons have three days to remove the dog from town, something Katie Landon told this newspaper she would do.
Katie Landon sought to portray the episode with Swantek on
the North West Street sidewalk
in front of her house as a onetime incident.
No one testifying suggested
Swantek did anything to provoke the dog.
Police say when they did a welfare check on the Landons’ house
the dog exhibited aggressive and
threatening behavior.
“Jacob held him back and even
held his mouth shut,” said Carroll
Police Officer Alex Klever.
Klever said the dog lunged at
him as he entered the Landons’
house announced.
“When I walked into the room,
it came at me,” he said.
Klever added, “I didn’t want to
get bit that day so I didn’t pet it.”
Katie Landon said Lambeau
had no prior history of violence.
Mopeds spooked the dog, which
stretched a retractable leash from
Landon’s mother, Pat Phillips, who
was visiting from Muscatine, and
watching the dog as the Landons vacationed in Las Vegas, Katie
Landon said.
What’s more, the dog’s reaction
to a police officer in the family
home is a natural one, Landon
said.
Council members, after asking questions, voted to back up
Klever’s call.
“I’m having a hard time understanding why she could not
keep that dog under control,” said
Councilwoman Carolyn Siemann.
Mayor Eric Jensen said retractable leashes don’t work well.
Swantek has mixed emotions
about the dog who bit him and
the City Council’s decision.
“I think it’s fair,” Swantek said.
“But I still feel bad for the dog
and its owner.”
When asked by the Daily Times
Herald if Swantek had been holding a carry permit and armed with
a firearm, Carroll Police Chief Brad
Burke said police likely would
have considered use of a gun on
the dog self-defense.
Burke went on to say city policy
on removal of the dog may not
go far enough as the vicious ani-
mal can now jeopardize people
somewhere else.
“Unfortunately, the information is probably not going to follow it,” Burke said.
Burke said if he were Lambeau’s
owner, he’d put the dog down.
Swantek’s father, Philip Swantek, who has a doctorate in swine
science from North Dakota State,
offered a different take after the
meeting. He said the dog may
get a new leash on life outside
of Carroll.
“In a different environment, it
could behave differently,” he said.
Carroll City Attorney David
Bruner said the Landons have
72 hours from the time they are
issued an order today to remove
the dog from the city limits. If the
Landons don’t, police can seize
Lambeau and remove it from
town or kill it.
Burke said he believes this was
the first vicious-dog hearing in
the history of the city, an historical assessment he says is backed
up by former Carroll Police Chief
Jeff Cayler.
The Daily Times Herald has
not covered such a hearing in
the last 20 years.
First Iowa
exceedance of new
ozone standard
An ozone monitoring site
in Scott County Park north
of Davenport recorded an
eight-hour average ozone
level of 71 parts per billion
yesterday, June 13. The U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency’s eight-hour average
health threshold is 70 parts
per billion.
Clouds and possible thunderstorms are expected to
keep ozone levels below the
health threshold today.
Iowans with respiratory
or heart disease, the elderly,
and children are the most
susceptible to ozone above
the level of the health standard and should consider
limiting prolonged outdoor exertion when levels
are high.
EPA strengthened the federal eight-hour ozone standard on Dec. 28, 2015, from
City Council members
determined that this dog,
Lambeau, is vicious. Its
owners have three days to
remove Lambeau from the
city limits.
75 to 70 parts per billion.
The Scott County Park exceedance is the first recorded
exceedance since the new
standard took effect.
Light winds, clear skies
and high temperatures favor the formation of photochemical smog. In these
conditions, volatile organic
compounds react with nitrogen oxide resulting in an increase in ozone. Volatile organic compounds are emitted from the evaporation of
consumer and industrial solvents, such as the evaporation from gas tanks in vehicles or mowers. Nitrogen
oxides are created by combustion, and are contained
in the exhaust from vehicles
and coal-fired boilers.

map is available online at

Water summary update notes
dry areas in south central,
above normal streamflows
DES MOINES
A small patch of Iowa is abnormally dry for this time of
year, according to the National
Drought Monitor, with the rest
of the state in a normal range.
The dry area in south central
Iowa covers about 15 percent of
the state. This is the first indication of dryness in Iowa since
December 2015.
Temperatures across Iowa
have averaged slightly higher
than normal since the beginning of April, while precipitation
has been greater than usual over
the western one-third of Iowa
and below normal in the rest
of the state.
Streamflow conditions remain
above normal for approximately
half of the state. Streams in northwest Iowa, along with portions
of the Iowa and West Fork Cedar rivers in north central Iowa,
have streamflows much above
normal.

with our kids fishing and playing
by the water, we can slow time
down, if only for that moment,
and create a memory that will
last forever.”

GUTHRIE COUNTYEXTENSION NOTES
Summer Lawn Care
Summer officially starts
June 21st, and with it comes
the need for lawn care. When
mowing your lawn, mow at a
height of 3-3 ½ inches during
summer months and 2 ½-3
inches in the spring and fall.
There are two options when
deciding to water your lawn.
You can do nothing and allow the grass to go dormant
or you can water during dry
weather to maintain a green,
actively growing lawn. If you
decide to water, 5 am to 9 am
is the best time to water so it
soaks deeply into the soil. To
control white grubs, there are
3 approaches. You can apply
a preventive insecticide to the
lawn annually, apply a curative
insecticide only when damage symptoms appear, or do
nothing and repair your damaged lawn when grub damage
occurs. Mid-June to late July
is the best time to apply preventive insecticide.
Dealing with
Picky Eaters
When parents & children engage in mealtime battles, nobody wins. Parents should focus on preventing power struggles over food & make mealtime fun. Establish healthy
routines & give kids the opportunity to make their own
healthy food choices. Model
healthy eating behaviors and
remove distractions, like television & electronic gadgets during mealtime. Eating habits
won’t change overnight, but
the small steps you take each
day can help promote a life-
time of healthy eating.
Move for Thought
Summertime is here and it’s
also time for children to go outside and play! Children need
60 minutes or more of physical activity each day. Families that are active together
improve their physical as well
as their emotional health. Include physical activities, such
as walking, playing outside,
helping with chores, taking
the stairs, picking up toys, or
walking the dog. For strength
and flexibility, encourage tumbling, swinging, martial arts,
rope climbing, pushups, or yoga
2-3 times a week. For aerobic
exercise, cycle, run, do relay
races, play basketball, swim,
play kickball, or play soccer
3-5 times a week.
