The silence was broken only
by the clinking of dishes and
a woman in a hairnet singing
“Amazing Grace.”
But in the next moment,
the Guthrie County Hospital’s
“Sneakers Cafe” was abuzz as
Sen. Joni Ernst swept in, to pose
for photos and chat — about the
hospital, about food and about
how much she likes Casey’s pizza.
It was a cheerful end to the
senator’s Feb. 17 tour of the hos-
pital, her Guthrie County stop
on her 99-county tour of Iowa.
Her day also included stops in
Audubon and Jefferson — Ernst
joked that the busy day kept her
out of trouble.
“I’ve learned something new
every time I do a tour of a county,” she said.
Guthrie County Hospital CEO
Pat Peters and Director of Nursing Greg Opseth led the senator
through the facility, pointing out
patient rooms and the hospital’s
specialty clinic as Ernst asked
about pneumonia cases and
farm accidents, shook nurses’
hands and cooed over a baby.
The group stopped at the
hospital’s radiology area and
toured the rehabilitation center and equipment — one of
the hospital’s draws, Peters said.
“For a town of this size, (Ernst)
was impressed with that,” he said.
The tour closed with a private
meeting between Ernst and the
hospital’s board, before she backtracked to the kitchen to chat
with the staff who feeds the hospital’s occupants.
“You can come and eat with
us anytime,” food service worker
Semone Magill told Ernst.
Ernst described Guthrie County Hospital as “fantastic.”
“The fact that you have such
a quality hospital in a county
of this size is wonderful,” she
said. “Going through the rehabilitation area here, the level of
equipment and track … this is
far and above what I’ve seen in
other areas.”
Although the hospital was
Ernst’s only stop in Guthrie
County Feb. 17, she has visited
the county before and said she
loves that “it’s rural.”

Community residents and
business persons will have a
chance to chime in as part of
the Downtown Guthrie Center

Julie Bailey, Main Street Guthrie Center director, said a special project team assembled by
Main Street Guthrie Center initiated work on the project this
week. MSGC, the local non-profit group spearheading downtown Guthrie Center’s revitalization efforts, is performing the
study to fine-tune and enhance
downtown business development and marketing strategies.
Bailey said the study will in-

Fatal accident involves Casey man
The Iowa State Patrol and
Madison County Sheriff ’s
Department reported a fatal
accident in the early morning
hours of Feb. 21 in rural southern Madison County.
An investigation shows that a
Jeep Cherokee containing four
people from Casey lost control
on a gravel road, and rolled off
a curve at about 4:20 a.m. The
driver, 24 year old Austin Ayers,
of Casey was ejected from the
vehicle and died at the scene.
Three other individuals were
injured in the crash; 23 year old
Cody Zimmerline, 15 year old
Drew Steckelberg and 22 year
old Shy Terry, all of Casey. The
State Patrol’s report indicates
that Ayers, Zimmerline and
Terry were not wearing their
seat belts at the time of the accident. Terry was transported
by Life Flight to Des Moines
Methodist Hospital. Both Zimmerline and Steckelberg were
transported by Madison County
Ambulance to Madison County
Hospital.
The condition of the three
individuals is unknown.
The cause of the crash is still
under investigation.

Guthrie Center wrestler Austin Laabs finished his senior runner-up season with
a 44-6 record and throughout his career at Guthrie Center, qualified for the state
tournament four times and was a two-time place winner. Tiger coach Shawn
Danker said, “He’s our first-ever four-time state qualifier and racked up around
175 wins and when you can count on a guy like that, it makes everything else a
little bit easier. We’ll miss him as an individual as well as the asset he was to our
whole team.”
A recently formed committee will call
on an outside force to help determine
if Guthrie Center’s law enforcement is
best covered by the county.
The Guthrie Center City Council unanimously approved Monday the use of a
consultant to examine the Guthrie Center Police Department and the Guthrie
County Sheriff’s Office, to speak with city
residents and to make a suggestion on
whether the sheriff’s office should absorb Guthrie Center’s policing.
Having the county pick up the city’s
law enforcement would circumvent the
“revolving door” of police turnover that
Guthrie Center — and many other small
cities — have seen, Guthrie Center Mayor
Dennis Kunkle said.
“For the long-term betterment of Guthrie Center, the goal would be to get more
consistent law enforcement with Guthrie
Center,” he said during a recent county
supervisors meeting.
With the proposed arrangement, the
Guthrie Center Police Department would
cease to exist and Guthrie Center would
pay the county each year — Kunkle suggested about $250,000 — to provide law
enforcement for the city. Data from the
Iowa League of Cities, although several
years old and not complete, indicates
that as of 2013, more than 100 cities in

looking forward to the hiring and
training phase of the project,”
said Mike Couch, general manager of Wild Rose Jefferson. “In

Channel Achievement Series
Puts Seedsmanship to Work
Putting Seedsmanship at
Work® into practice, local Channel Seedsman Matt Bryan of
Greenbrier Ag LLC participated in
the Channel Achievement Series
event at the Des Moines Marriott Downtown on Friday, January 23, 2015. Matt serves Dallas,
Greene and Guthrie counties in
Iowa as a Seedsman, a denotation
reserved for Channel brand corn
and soybean seed dealers. He
was joined by approximately 50
of his Channel Seedsman peers
from around Iowa.
The Channel Seedsmen were
provided with exclusive access to
industry professionals presenting on agronomic topics ranging
from corn breeding, corn trait
development, and the use of
naturally occurring microbialbased products from Monsanto
BioAg. Matthew Bennett, of Bennett Consulting, shared expert
insights and strategies on how to
navigate global grain commodity markets. Future technology
sessions hosted by The Climate
Corporation and Precision Planting highlighted the expanding
role of data science and equipment advancements on the farm.
The annual event aims to educate Channel Seedsmen on the
latest seed and trait product offerings, the latest farming technologies and best business practices. “We want to empower our
Seedsmen,” said Channel Brand
Marketing Lead, Mieka Puzniak.
“The Channel Achievement Series reinforces the Seedsman’s
role in his or her community to
work with local farmers and deliver expert advice, customized
service and elite seed products
to help improve productivity and
profitability on the farm.” That
philosophy, Mieka explained, is
summarized in the brand’s tagline: Seedsmanship at Work.

Each year usually in October they held an Annual Country Fair to rase money for the
Stonecroft Ministires. Members
provided home baked items,
jams, jellies, items they made or
produce they had grown. Many
local businesses donated items
to be used for the silent auction.
The fair was a money maker
for the club. A couple of years
netted over $2,000 to be sent
to Stonecroft.
Each month the next month’s
meeting was promoted. Celia
Reynolds usually presented a
skit or some other humorous
way to get the attention and
hopefully bring new time guests
to the meeting. She was always
entertaining and everyone
looked forward to her antics.

Guthrie County Hospital and GCH
Pediatrics bring local communities
together in commemoration of
National Poison Prevention Week
As part of National Poison
Prevention Week, Guthrie
County Hospital and GCH
Pediatrics will be attending
all area elementary schools
to discuss the dangers of potentially poisonous medicines
and chemicals and to outline
preventative steps people can
take to ensure their safety and
that of their loved ones.
Guthrie County Hospital
hopes that these events will
bring people together in commemoration of National Poison Prevention Week, to ultimately mitigate the number
of people who are involved
in poisoning each year, especially poisonings in the
home - the most commonly
reported poisonings.
The events will be held the
first week in March at area
elementary schools.
“By educating local residents
about preventative steps in
the home and in their lives,
I believe that we can make
serious progress in keeping
our loved ones safe,” said Dr.
Cody Silker, GCH Pediatrician. “It is vital that people
arm themselves with basic
information on poison prevention in the home, such as
keeping chemicals out of the
reach of children and carefully reading the labels and
dosages on all products.”
“Teaching poison awareness to children is imperative to their safety and should
begin at an early age,” said
Dr. DeeAnn Wedemeyer Oleson, Pharm.D., GCH Director
of Pharmacy and Administrator of Clinical Services.
“Children should be given
clear and consistent messages that medication is not
candy, and that medication
should only be administered
to them by an adult.”
More than 2 million poisonings are reported each year to
the Nation’s poison centers.
According to the American
Association of Poison Control
Center, approximately 90 percent of poisonings happen at
home, and 51 percent of poi-

tree’s trunk and main limbs can
warm to 15 degrees higher than
the air temperature. As soon as
the sun’s rays stop reaching the
stem when the sun sets, the tree’s
temperature plummets, causing injury or permanent damage to the bark. The two common types of injury are sun scald
and frost cracking. The effects
of sun scald and frost cracking
can be reduced by sound arboricultural practices to maintain
overall health and by covering
the trunks of young, susceptible
trees with a suitable tree wrap.
Winter is a good time to
prune. “Most skilled arborists
prefer pruning when trees are
dormant,” says Andersen. “With
no leaves on the tree, the arborist is better able to evaluate its
architecture and spot dead or
diseased branches. In addition,
since the ground is frozen, damage to the turf underneath the
tree due to falling limbs and tree
care activities is negligible. This
is also a good time to check trees
for diseases and other damage.”
Here are some other things
TCIA recommends to improve
the health of your living landscape. Aeration in thawed soil
around trees helps improve water and air movement in the soil:
This strengthens the tree’s root
system and reduces soil compaction. When planting, choose
hardy trees available in your area
as they have better chances for
survival in severe weather conditions. Choosing the best location and following proper planting procedures should be your
highest priorities. Stop fertilizing
trees in early fall to allow them
to prepare for winter. In case of
moderate storm damage, restoring the tree to its former health
and beauty may take some time,
but it generally can make a full
recovery. Broken, hazardous
limbs should be removed immediately. Pruning to remove
broken stubs and restore the balance of the crown can be put off
a little while, but shouldn’t be
delayed more than one growing
season. To contact the Tree Care
Industry Association, a public and
professional resource on trees
and arboriculture since 1938.

WINTER STRESSES
ON TREES AND SHRUBS
Heavy snow and ice, as well as
frozen soil conditions, can damage cherished trees and shrubs
in residential landscapes. Even
areas without major snowfall experience high winds and huge
fluctuations in temperatures
during winter. But homeowners can lessen the adverse effects
of winter weather with preventive maintenance.
What can happen in winter, and how can you avoid ti?
“Branches of trees can break due
to the excessive weight of ice or
snow,” says Tchukki Andersen,
BCMA, CTSP and staff arborist
with the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA). “Proper pruning
encourages the formation of the
strongest possible branches and
branch attachments. When pruning alone isn’t enough, properly
installed cables and rigid braces
can add support to a weakened
part of the tree.”
Winter winds cause evergreens
to lose moisture from their needles. Even some deciduous trees
suffer from winter drying. If water is not available as moisture is
drawn from living cells, permanent damage will result. The best
prevention consists of planting
only hardy species in areas of
prolonged exposure, watering
plants adequately in the fall, and
mulching to insulate the soil and
roots from severe cold.

The program pays producers for
fostering clean water, better soil
management, improved habitat, and other natural resource
benefits.
As part of the CSP application process, applicants work
with NRCS field personnel to
complete a resource inventory
of their land to determine the
conservation performance for
existing and new conservation
activities. The applicant’s conservation performance will be
used to determine eligibility,
ranking and payments. Contracts are awarded to those offering the highest level of environmental benefits, with NRCS
working down through the list
of eligible applicants until acreage allocated to the particular
state runs out.
In addition, producers who
received a CSP contract in 2011
have the opportunity to renew
their contract for another fiveyear period. Renewal applications
must be received by March 31,
2015 to ensure a seamless transition into their next contract
without a lapse in payments. Renewal contracts do not compete
with new applicants.
Potential applicants can call

Guthrie Center fourth grader Kiersten Knobbe gets her book autographed by singersongwriter and author Chad Elliott during a Literacy Night at the school last week.
Paint, songs and jokes twine
together during Guthrie Center event
It’s never boring writing
with kids, as local singersong w r iter Chad El liott
proved several times over
during an informal concert
last week at Guthrie Center
High School.
The event stemmed from
the recent release of Elliott’s
children’s book, “Wilderman’s
Treetop Tales,” which is centered around children’s songs
he wrote, some of which he
has sung to his three children
for years. The songs have accompanying artwork, which
Elliott painted on large canvases before scaling them
down for the book’s pages.
Elliott, a singer, songwriter,
artist and author who grew
up in Guthrie Center and
lives in Coon Rapids, held
a book signing and visits
after the evening concert.
During the concert, Elliott
performed several of the new
book’s songs.
Elliott also sang other songs
he has recorded, often charming the audience with introductions to the songs.
“When I began songwriting,
I learned you have to have
two types of songs — a train
song and a murder ballad. If
they’re the same, it’s probably a Johnny Cash song, and
you can’t redo that,” he said.

Chad Elliott entertains the crowd at Guthrie Center high
school last week with some of his songs from his latest
children’s brook and album, Wilderman’s Treetop Tales. “This is just a train song.”
He has a new album, “Wreck
and Ruin,” which was record-
2,500 patients a year, and the
hospital admits about 413 people a year.
About 425 surgical procedures
are performed at the hospital
each year, Peters said. Several
surgeons offer services at the
hospital, including Marc Miller,
a general surgeon whose work
includes appendectomies, gall
bladder removals and endoscopies, and Jeffrey Wahl, an orthopedic surgeon whose work
includes joint replacements.
Having access to an orthopedic
surgeon is unusual for a hospital of its size, Peters told Ernst.
The hospital also has clin-
ed in Nashville and will soon
be released — it’s a more “radio-friendly” album, he joked.
ics in Adair, Stuart and Panora,
which receive about 8,000 visits
a year total.
One of the newest additions
the hospital has added is access
to a behavioral health specialist at UnityPoint Health in Des
Moines. After Guthrie County
patients see Susanna Funk, a
board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric
nursing, in person in Des Moines
for their initial visit, they are
able to use a large TV monitor
at Guthrie County Hospital to
speak with her during subsequent appointments.
In the next several months,
USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Chief
Jason Weller announced today a
renewal option through March
31, 2015 for eligible agricultural producers with 2011 expiring Conservation Stewardship
Program (CSP) contracts. These
producers must adopt additional
activities to help them achieve
higher levels of conservation on
their farms.
USDA is also extending the
deadline two weeks for farmers to submit applications for
the general CSP signup, until
March 13, 2015.
CSP is offered through a continuous signup, but NRCS periodically makes funding selections. Last year, Iowa NRCS obligated more than $4.5 million
through 436 contracts covering
201,000 acres.
The program emphasizes conservation performance – producers earn higher payments for
higher performance. Through
CSP, producers install conservation enhancements to make
positive changes in soil health,
soil erosion, water quality, water quantity, air quality, plant resources, animal resources and
energy.
“CSP producers are established conservation leaders who
work hard at enhancing natural resources on private lands,”
said Weller. “By extending the
deadline for general sign-up
applications, we are ensuring
that landowners will be able to
take advantage of a program that
will enroll up to 7.7 million acres
this year.”
Changes in the 2014 Farm
Bill will allow CSP participants
with expiring contracts to renew
them by exceeding stewardship
thresholds for two or more existing natural resource concerns,
such as improving water quality
or improving soil health.
CSP also supports the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy through
various enhancement options.
The Iowa strategy includes practices designed to reduce nutrient loads from nonpoint sources
such as farm fields.
A CSP self-screening checklist is available to help producers determine if the program
is suitable for their operation.
The checklist highlights basic
information about CSP eligibility requirements, stewardship
threshold requirements and
payment types.
Learn more about CSP by visiting the Iowa NRCS website or
your local NRCS field office.
the hospital also plans to begin offering podiatric surgery
and a pain management clinic.
Peters said he appreciated
the opportunity to show the
hospital to Ernst.
“I think it went really well,”
he said. “We were able to show
the senator what services we
have here, what equipment we
have, so that she knows that
it’s a state-of-the-art facility. I
think that’s important. And she
was able to talk to our board
members and get a good feeling
from them on what our challenges are.”
STUDY
FROM Page 1A
“The raw data and numbers
that we’re reviewing now is
good, important information,
but we’ll be digging deeper to
explore opportunities for downtown Guthrie Center,” Bailey
said. “We’re excited to gather
the perspectives and ideas of
Guthrie Center area residents,
visitors and business persons
who will be participating in surveys. As a result, we’ll gain a
better sense of what downtown
Guthrie Center can be in the
future, and how the community
can focus its efforts to make
positive things happen in the
downtown.”
“Ultimately, the information
and input will be used to create strategies aimed at retaining and developing a quality
mix of businesses and uses
that, based on solid market
data, show the best potential
to succeed in downtown Guthrie Center” said Bailey.
Special components of the
study, scheduled for completion
this fall, include business and
consumer surveys designed to
identify and assess opportunities for business expansion and
recruitment in the downtown
business district, and recommendations for the implementation of related projects and
activities.
“Throughout all phases of
the project, we’ll actively seek
input from all sectors of the
community. We’ll be asking lots
of questions and exploring a
broad range of scenarios in an
attempt to determine a direction that’s right for downtown
Guthrie Center,” Bailey said.
Guthrie Center is receiving
technical assistance and support from Main Street Iowa in
2015 to complete a local market study. United States Department of Agriculture Rural Community Development
Initiative funding and Community Development Block Grant
funding were procured by Iowa
Economic Development Authority to underwrite market
analysis training and technical
assistance furnished to select
Main Street Iowa communities in 2015.

study and opportunities to participate, contact Julie Bailey at

almost 50 Iowa counties have

The conversation about having Guthrie County take over
Guthrie Center’s law enforcement has been a continued one,
and both the city and county agreed recently to form a
committee, comprising city
and county government and
law enforcement officials, to
examine the idea. Choosing
to consider a consulting firm
was one of the committee’s
first decisions.
Requests for proposals are
being sent out, and the committee hopes to have bids from
responding firms by March
23. If Guthrie Center chooses
to hire a consultant, the city
will cover the cost of the firm’s
work, Guthrie Center City Clerk
Laura Imerman said.
“I don’t think anybody knows
what the right direction is,”
Imerman said. “We’re hoping an outside consultant can
come in and provide some
clarity.”

Needles and terror: Getting
2 more holes in my head
By REBECCA MCKINSEY
[email protected]
When you leave the bars at 8
p.m. on a Friday night, there’s
really only one place to go.
The place you’ve been avoiding for weeks.
Yup. The tattoo parlor.
Heaven knows, I’d been
putting it off.
I’d talked my friends’ ears
off about it. In the way of a
well-spoken wimp, I had an
end goal in mind but waffled
when it came to any sort of
action.
The mission: to put two
more holes in my head.
The proposed venues: A
superstore, a hair salon, another city, my own home …
or a tattoo parlor.
I wouldn’t call myself a
wimp. Or queasy. I’ve lived
and worked in the Middle East,
stood next to a man performing open-heart surgery and
tweeted at the celebrity that
I plan to marry (the scariest
task of all). Someday, I’m planning to jump out of a plane.
And it’s not like I’d never
been in a tattoo parlor before.
But letting someone push a
needle through my ears? That
was a little too much for me to
handle, despite the fact that
I’d already gone under the gun
(of the Wal-Mart piercing variety) once, about 15 years ago,
after a prolonged campaign
that wore down my parents.
Needles aren’t something I
handle well — along with olives, beer, bread, trying to be
a vegetarian at an Iowa rodeo,
the phrases “whatever” and
“good enough,” people who
don’t use turn signals, people
who don’t love Josh Groban,
and women who date Josh Groban. But mostly just needles.
So I kept putting it off, even
as I continued to talk about
my plans to double pierce my
ears and hashed out the spe-
cifics of the
plan with my
friends. It’s
ea s y w hen
it’s just talk,
as I found.
But when
you r best
friend walks
Rebecca
you into the McKinsey
tattoo parlor
— just to ask
questions; that was the plan
— there is only so much talking left to do. Not that I didn’t
try to drag it out. I probably
asked the poor piercer, “Will
it hurt? How much?” 10 different times, in 10 different
ways.
A 4-year-old who was hanging out in the tattoo parlor
with his dad watched all this
with amusement, probably
thinking about what a wimp
I was.
Finally, a friend of the piercer’s, who may have just been
there visiting, said, “Tell you
what, I’ll do it first so you can
watch.”
I have no idea if she’d
planned to get another piercing that day, but she agreed to
let the piercer stab her first so
I could see how easy it was.
And it was easy. No flinching, no tears, no screams. One
second, and it was done.
I can do this, I thought. My
friend’s promise to watch a
weepy chick flick with me afterward sweetened the deal.

Before I could change my
mind, I was handing over
some cash, signing my life
away and sitting down on
the big leather chair.
Everything was sterilized,
dots were penned onto my
ears, and before I knew it,
a needle was being poked
through my skin.
I may have jumped, but I
didn’t scream.
“Oh, you’re a bleeder,” the
piercer said, mopping me up.
Several minutes passed.
“You’re still bleeding. That’s
unusual.”
One ear to go.
The second was probably a
little worse, because I was anticipating it more, but about 15
minutes after I’d walked into
the tattoo shop, with months
of talking behind me and several very patient people putting up with my fears, I left
with two more holes in my
head. The 4-year-old, who
probably stayed up later than
me that night and is much
cooler than I am, promptly
forgot about me.
As everyone — including
the people I’d just met — kept
telling me, I’d made this whole
ear-piercing thing much scarier in my mind than it actually was.
Maybe I’ll do my tongue
next.
Many local vocalists and musicians performing included Kathy
Hopkins, Karen Voegtlin, Kathy
Moon, Dean Porter, Nancy Smith
and Joanne Alumbaugh - piano
and cello duet, Gary Freeland,
Karyn Brinkmeyer who was also
a speaker, Jan and Jay Pattee,
Judy Wasson and Michelle Bell
- piano and violin duets, many
local middle school and high
school students who sang and
were a delight to have younger
people involved.
Their sponsors were always
a very important part of getting advertisements out. Each
month a different business
would sponsor that month’s
printing, that also gave them
a great way of advertising their
business as well. Each month
each person at the meeting received two card invitations, one
to keep and one to invite another person. Newspapers in
Adair, Dallas, Guthrie and Green
counties received a news item
to place in their paper promoting the upcoming meeting with
information about the feature,
speaker and musician.
The Panora After 5 Club - a
Stonecroft Christian Ministry held it’s final outreach meeting
at the Cabbage Rose Tea Room in
Guthrie Center February 9, 2015
in celebration of their 25th year
and final meeting. Fifty people
were in attendance including
Iowa State Representative Karen
Langstradt from Indianola and
Jeanne Chapman Regional Representative from Des Moines.
Scott Patton from Gilbert, IA
who is a wildlife artist was

Ernst on being president: ‘Never say never’
By DOUGLAS BURNS
U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst’s meteoric
rise from an obscure, and initially lightly funded, GOP primary hopeful from rural southwest Iowa to nationally televised
profile delivering the rebuttal to
President Barack Obama’s State
of the Union won’t lead to a White
House candidacy for her any time
soon, the freshman senator from
Red Oak said in an interview with
the Guthrie Center Times.
According to a Des Moines Register Iowa Poll earlier this month,
58 percent of
likely Republican caucus-goers say Ernst has
“what it takes to
become president one day.”
What’s more,
at Congressman U.S. Sen.
Steve King’s Joni Ernst
Iowa Freedom
Summit in Des
Moines late last month, former
Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, a conservative Republican, said Ernst
should have been delivering the
main speech to the annual joint
session of Congress as president.
So does Ernst herself think
she’s ready to be commander
in chief or vice president?
“No, I am not, and you know
that,” Ernst told the Guthrie
Center Times in an interview.
“I love where I am, and I love
being a representative for Iowa,
and serving as their United States
senator.”
Ernst said Oval Office ambitions are not a part of her life
— for the 2016 election cycle.
“This is not something I am
considering,” Ernst said. “I would
never say never.”

Tiger wrestlers finish strong

Austin Laabs takes
2nd, Cale Crowder 8th
regional final
AC girls
fall short
of trip to
state
red oak
After falling behind by double digits in the first half, the
Adair-Casey girls basketball
team rallied in the second before falling to Fremont-Mills
65-58 in a Class 1A regional
final on Monday night.
Fourth-ranked FremontMills will make their first
5-on-5 appearance in Des
Moines next Monday at 3:15
p.m. against No. 11 Springville. Adair-Casey closed at
20-5 and return their entire
starting line-up next year.
Freshman Madie Sorensen
paced the Bombers Monday
with 22 points, while Shelby
Sorensen added 12 and Miranda Plowman 10.
Freemont-Mills got contributions from a number of
different spots on Monday,
including sophomore Jenna
Nelson.
Nelson, who averages 4.5
points per game, drained four
triples and scored a careerhigh 14 points in the first half.
Eight of Nelson’s points came
in the first period, staking the
Knights to a 15-11 lead. She
added six more in the second
while Andrea McClary added
seven. It was part of a 21-9
second quarter that pushed
their advantage to 36-20 at
the half.
Adair-Casey, though, refused to lay down. The Bombers, who were looking for their
second straight state tournament appearance, had five
different players score in
an 18-8 third quarter to put
them right back in the game.
By MARTY BALL
des moines
Guthrie Center put two wrestlers in the top eight as the Class
1A Iowa High School state wrestling tournament wrapped up at
Wells Fargo Arena on Saturday.
Senior 182-pounder Austin
Laabs paced the Tigers with a
second-place finish and classmate Cale Crowder finished
eighth at 220 pounds.
“It was such a great tournament this year and both of those
boys really enjoyed the whole
experience,” Guthrie Center
head wrestling coach Shawn
Danker said. “You know, they
wanted to get down there and
take care of business, but as seniors, it seemed like they really
just kind of soaked up the atmosphere while we were there.
“I think that type of situation
and reaction might be a little bit
different when you compare it
to taking a bunch of underclassmen to state. Being there as seniors, there last trip down there, I
think they took in more than just
wrestling, winning, losing and
all of that. They really enjoyed
themselves and that made it a
lot more more fun for the rest
of us too.”
Laabs, coming into the state
tournament Thursday ranked
third with a record of 41-5, drew
the second-ranked wrestler in
the state for his opening match.
Derek Kohlmeyer, a SumnerFredericksburg senior sporting
a 40-3 record was the favorite
going into the first-round bout,
but Laabs upset the Cougar by
earning a 5-3 decision victory
that advanced him out to the
quarterfinal round Friday afternoon.
There, Laabs encountered No.
8 Steven Gregory of Treynor (415) and defeated the Cardinal 9-3
to move out to the semifinals
Friday night. With the secondround win, Laabs secured a spot
on the 1-A, 182-pound medal
stand and could finish no worse
than sixth place.
In his semifinal match, Laabs
was matched up with Steve Huber, and unranked wrestler from
Maple Valley-Anthon Oto with
50 wins and three losses. The
match came down to the wire
with Laabs coming out a narrow winner by a 6-5 decision.
The victory propelled the Tiger
to the state finals, which would
be held Saturday night in front
of a sold out crowd.
As exciting as the semifinal
victory was, Laabs found himself paired against a familiar foe
in top-ranked Evan Hansen of
Exira-EHK (56-0) in the finals.
The Spartan was responsible for
four of the five losses on Laabs’
season record and added yet another victory over the Tiger Saturday night. Defeating Laabs by
an 18-6 major decision, Hansen
accumulated his second straight
state tournament title. With the
defeat, Laabs finished his senior
runner-up season with a 44-6 record and throughout his career
at Guthrie Center, qualified for
the state tournament four times
and was a two-time place winner.

Guthrie Center’s Austin Laabs (left) found himself paired against a familiar foe in top-ranked Evan Hansen of Exira-EHK

another victory over the Tiger Saturday night as Laabs lost by an 18-6 major decision.
could win that one, we could get
Austin into the finals and that
was our goal,” Danker said. “We
fell behind 4-nothing but made
some big moves to take the lead
and eventually the match. As long
as he wrestled the way he had
been and set the tone early on,
we knew Austin would end up
in a great spot which he did.”
Danker said in the finals
against Hansen, who had beaten
Laabs nine times, was mentally
tough for the Tiger wrestler.
“Our plan was to hope for the
best, wrestle as best of match we
can and maybe get an opportunity to score on a big move,”
Danker said. “We wanted to capitalize on the mistakes Evan made
but he just didn’t make any. The
kid’s a great wrestler, he always
stays in good position and wrestles almost flawless when the
pressure’s on.”
Danker said Laabs has been
one of the best wrestlers to come

of that success came while
senior stars McClary and Taryn

period with four fouls.
The Bombers continued to
chip at the lead in the fourth.
After Macy Williams drained two
free throws to push the Knights

Williams, though, continued

“He’s our first-ever fourtime state qualifier and
racked up around 175 wins
and when you can count on
a guy like that, it makes everything else a little bit easier,” Danker said. “We’ll miss
him as an individual as well
as the asset he was to our
whole team.”
Crowder, coming into the
state tournament ranked
fourth with a record of 45-3,
drew No. 9 Robbie Carrothers
of Alburnett (35-10) for his
first-round match. Crowder
kicked off his state tournament stretch with a 3-2 decision victory over Carrothers
and advanced to the quarterfinal round along with Laabs.
There, Crowder did battle
with Sibley-Ocheyedan’s Matt
Naig, an eighth-ranked sophomore sporting a record of 32
wins and six losses. In another close 3-2 match, Crowder
found himself on the short
end of the stick and was sent
to the consolation side of the
bracket. To earn a spot on
the podium, the Tiger needed
to win his next match or he
would be eliminated from
competition.
Crowder successfully went
on to defeat Bret Blackburn
of Southwest Iowa (34-7) by
a 6-0 decision and in doing
so, claimed all-state status.
In his next match however,
Crowder lost by pin to No.
10 Jared Brinkman of Iowa
City Regina (37-6) in just
45 seconds. The loss would
send Crowder to the seventh
place match where he was
then beaten by No. 7 Dustin
Brown of West Lyon by a 3-1
decision.
Finishing in eight place
in the 220-pound bracket,
Crowder capped off his senior campaign with a 47-6
record. He qualified for state
twice throughout his career
and, like Laabs, was also a
two-time place winner.
“Cale had a great season
and a great career with us,”
Danker said. “I know he wanted to place higher at state
with as many close matches
as he had, but as a whole I
think he finished strong and
made a lot of progress.
“As a person and a student,
he’s done really well throughout his years here. And as an
athlete, he’s a perfect example
of showing how hard work
pays off. Cale has been a guy
that some of the younger kids
can look up to and see what
it takes to be successful in
our wrestling room.”

in Truro. The two wrestlers are
seniors Cale Crowder and Austin
Laabs. Laabs has qualified for the
state tournament all four years of

When talking to Coach Danker,
he said, “I’m excited as always!
Can’t wait. This is what we’ve
been working for all year.”
Laabs says, “I’m pumped; its
what you work for all year! My
goal is to win it!”
Crowder also said, “I’m excited
because its my last year of high

also got a card-and chocolate.
Mercedes Wolfe spent
in the right way. Lane’s advice
to underclassmen would be to,
”spend time with friends, be
responsible, and study hard.”
Lane’s favorite high school
memory would be when Hayley Wilson asked him to homecoming in front of the whole
lunchroom. What he will miss
most about high school is sporting events with his classmates.
One thing Lane wishes he could
have changed about his last year
in high school is study halls.
Lane admires his Grandfather
Roy the most because he has
worked to get where he is at
today and sets a good example.
After graduation, Lane plans
to attend either Central College or Buena Vista University.

Animal Science
By Zoie Shook
GCHS junior
Mr. Jim Calvert is teaching a
new college credit animal science
class second block this term. Mr.
Calvert has never taught a class
like this before, so it is something
new to him. The class is all about
different kinds of livestock, how
to care for them, diseases, breeding, etc.
The class recently took a trip to
Mr. Calvert’s farm for some hands
on experience that included banding, docking tails, giving shots, and
ear notching lambs. The class is
made up of all girls, so some were
reluctant to get the job done, while
others were excited for the new
experience. Eventually, everyone,
including the student teacher, Mrs.
Katie Akers gave it a try.
Mr. Calvert enjoys teaching this
class because he loves livestock
and it’s something new to teach.

Cheinie Case is the daughter
of Kellie Case and was born
April 16th,1996. Cheinie has
two sibilings: a younger sister, Stormie (15) and an older
brother, Chet (23).
Cheinie’s favorite elective
classes while at GCHS include all the art classes she
has taken. She thought that
all of the teachers have taught
her many great things that she
will use later on in life. Cheinie
thought that all of her classes
have taught her something that
she can use in the future.
While attending GCHS, Cheinie was involved in student
council. Her motto for life is,
“The minute you stop making
mistakes is the minute you stop
learning. –Miley Cyrus.” Her
advice for underclassmen is,
“try hard and listen to your parents because they know what
they are talking about.”
Cheinie’s says, “making memories with my friends will always be my favorite.” She will
miss how easy high school is
and all of her friends. If she
could change one thing about
high school, she would like to
have open campus.
Cheinie admires her mom
the most because she always
puts others first.
After graduation, Cheinie
plans on attending the University of Northern Iowa and
studying chemistry.
