Football field-track complex taking shape

panora
Things are rapidly taking shape
at the new Panorama football
field-track complex in Panora.
The track has been paved. Artificial turf is down on the football field. Some bleachers are
up and the concession standrestroom-storage building has
taken shape.
Local contractor Dave Arganbright is a liaison between the
school and contractors. He remains optimistic the project will
be finished in time for the first
football game on August 28. “It
will be ready for use as long as
everything is safe,” he said.
He complimented the contractors. “They want to do it right
and not compromise or cover
things up just to meet a deadline.”
Arganbright believes the bulk
of the work will be done by August 21 with the punch (check)
list completed and details finished by August 28.
The football field was being
finished up this week with the
numbers and the midfield logo
being added to the turf already
installed.

side are in place. Installing the
home bleachers ran into a short
delay as some of the legs had to
be shortened. They expect them
to be installed next week.
The steel roof of the concession
stand was slated to be placed on
this week as plumbers and electricians finish up inside.
The wooden press box will take
4-8 days to erect, Arganbright
said. Part of it will be pre-made
panels.
Grading work on the parking
lot is finished. It will be paved
soon when some of the other
activities are done.
The track asphalt needs to cure
21 days from July 30 before a
special coating can be added
and the lanes marked. A punch list is set for Monday
at the new high school locker
rooms as small details are being
completed this week.
Used lockers have been temporarily installed as the original
order for new ones was cancelled
and new ones ordered. They’re
aiming for mid-October to install the new ones.
Arganbright said the temporary lockers -- hall-type not
athletic -- do provide a secure
place for students to leave their
belongings.

Something for everyone
at Panorama Days
By REBECCA MCKINSEY
A committee’s hopes of changing how the Guthrie County supervisors are elected, with one voter
decrying what she called the board’s “good ol’
boys’ club,” were dashed Tuesday evening when
county residents voted to keep the current election system in place.
A special election, called per Iowa code after a
bi-partisan committee collected more than 400
signatures on a petition, allowed residents to reassess how they would later elect their county
supervisors. The ballot gave voters three voting
options to consider.

Two present members filed for the Panorama
school board while a veteran member is retiring.
After serving nine years, Tom Arganbright is not
seeking reelection in Director District 3. Deborah
Westergaard filed for that seat, which is much of
the south half of the school district.
Bryice Wilke, board president, is running again
from District 5, comprised of a small portion of
Panora coupled with a large area of Lake Panorama.
Terms for the two positions are four years.
Jenny Van Gundy was appointed in March to
fill a vacancy until the September 8 school board
election. She now seeks to serve the remaining
two years of the term from District 1, the north
part of the Panorama district.
Last Thursday, June 30 was the deadline to file.

The annual Panorama Days celebration had a little something for
everyone in Panora over the weekend.
Whether you preferred being a
spectator or wanted to be part of
the action, the celebration drew a
huge crowd.
“It’s a celebration of our community,” said Chaille Crandall, who
has served as executive director of
the event the past three years. “We
hope everyone has a good time.”
Some come for the music, some
come for the games and some come
for the food.
The fact that they keep coming
back is proof that the celebration
has something for everyone, said
Crandall.
“Everything was well attended
again this year,” she said.
The Panorama Days festivities
opened Friday and continued
through Sunday. This year’s summer fun celebrated 50 years of Lake
Panorama becoming part of the
Panora community.
“I thought the weekend went
well,” said local volunteer Jaime
Waddle. “The Kid Zone is always a
hit, especially because of the facepainting artists. They continue to
have an ongoing line.”
This year the celebration added a
Human Foosball Tournament and
a Watermelon Feed at Michael Mills
Park on Sunday. Six teams competed in Foosball, with the Eric and
Ammy Webster family taking the
first-ever title.
“I thought we’d lose early and
then get some work done at home,”
Eric joked.

Cheryl Castile presents the Panora
Citizen of the Year Award to John
Rutledge during a ceremony on the town’s
square Saturday afternoon. Rutledge,
General Manager of the Lake Panorama
Association, said he accepts the award on
behalf of so many people that make the
community a great place to live, work and
raise a family.
A “patient” is treated during an emergency exercise at the Guthrie County Hospital Saturday, July 25.
By Sandy McCurdy | Special to Guthrie County Vedette
W
hen a town with a normal population of 1,569
people, in a county with 10,687, hosts a large
weekend event for 20,000 to 50,000 people,
emergency management becomes a major concern.
Officials at Guthrie County Hospital
in Guthrie Center wondered, could
they handle a catastrophic emergency? Many questions needed to
be answered, as Guthrie County’s
River Ruckus approached. The annual event draws tens of thousands
for camping and attending the concerts during the three-day country
music festival at the Guthrie County
Fairgrounds.
With such a large number of people being in the city for the weekend, the Guthrie County Hospital,
city and county officials spent time
planning for the event.
To prepare for any emergency that
could occur, two scenarios were created for a practice exercise to be carried out during the River Ruckus.
Setting the scene
Prior to starting the emergency
response drill, two scenarios were
created under which participants
would respond to a mock disaster.
The first occurred at approximately
3:35 on Friday, July 17, with the scenario of a F1 or F2 tornado touching
down in various places throughout
Guthrie Center. The drill included
responding as if the hospital sustained moderate damage to the roof
areas over the emergency room and
the medical/surgical care areas. The
remainder of the hospital remained
operational.
The Guthrie County Hospital is
a critical access hospital, with an
average daily census under 10 and
under five designated emergency
department beds.
In an effort to maintain continuity of care to the community, the
hospital requested a portion of the
Mobile Health Care Facility from the
Iowa Department of Public Health
to temporarily provide a facility to
offer emergency room services to
the community as well as short
term medical care beds. The hospital also requested staffing support
from the IDPH’s Public Health Response Teams (Iowa Disaster Medical Assistance Team, Environmental
Health Response Team and Logistical Support Response Team). All
the requests were granted by the
director of the IDPH.
SANDY MCCURDY | VEDETTE
The IDPH used the Iowa Statewide
Emergency Registry of Volunteers to
alert and activate volunteers of the
Iowa Department of Public Health
EHRT, LSRT and DMAT. The LSRT
and a portion of the MHCF arrived at
9:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 18, where
they were met by Guthrie County
Hospital administration, preparedness coordinator and facilities management.
The IDPH staff worked with the
Guthrie County incident command
staff to define how the hospital operations would be coordinated with
MHCF operations. Communication
pathways were established. IDPH
provided two shelters from the
MHCF near the front emergency
room/ambulance bay entrance
along with cots and patient dividers. The hospital provided all other
supplies and equipment needed for
patient care.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
Mike Huckabee: Trust in God, and
don’t vote for the other Republicans
By REBECCA MCKINSEY
Although Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee
made it clear to Guthrie Center
residents last week that he wants
their votes, he asserted that he
isn’t the answer for the country
— God is.
During a campaign stop at Prime
Time July 30, Huckabee spoke to
about 50 people, covering a wide
variety of topics as he asked those
in attendance to caucus for him
early next year.
The return presidential candidate spoke at length about the
FairTax Act, which would replace
income, employment and estate
taxes with a national sales tax.
“A twist of the screwdriver and
a tap of the hammer is not going
to fix the tax structure,” he said.
Huckabee, who is the only presidential candidate supporting the
act right now, said he believes its
passage would solve many problems, including by bringing manufacturing jobs to the United States
and reducing the influence of the
donor class in politics.
“I know I’m making it sound like
the FairTax is a magical elixir …
but it will fix a lot,” he said.
Also important, he said, the
FairTax Act would eliminate the
Internal Revenue Service.
“I’ve never met anyone who says,
‘Oh, I really enjoy (the IRS); I don’t
want them to leave,’” he said.
He described the IRS as a “rogue
criminal enterprise targeting people they don’t agree with politically.”
Huckabee also discussed illegal
immigration, promising that if he
is elected he will have the borders
secured by the time he’s been in
office for a year.

Rutledge
named
Panora’s
Citizen of
the Year
By ASHLEY SCHABLE
panora
John Rutledge, general manager at Lake
Panorama Association, was named Panora’s
Citizen of the Year Saturday during the town’s
annual Panorama Days celebration.
Rutledge, who was clearly surprised at the
announcement, said he is appreciative of the
award.
“This is a great place to live, work and raise
a family,” he said. “There’s a lot of people who
do a lot of work for things I work on, so I’ll accept this award on behalf of everybody who
puts in their time.”
Rutledge grew up in Guthrie Center, graduating from high school there in 1992. He and
wife Tricia, a 1994 Panorama high school
graduate, live in Panora with son Kael and
daughter Emma. Rutledge serves on numerous
committees in the community. He has been
president of the Panora Area Development
Group, PRIDE, active in the Panora Chamber of Commerce and serves on the Midwest
Partnership board.
He has done an excellent job,” wrote Dale
Grotjohn in a letter nominating Rutledge for
Citizen of the Year.
Grotjohn has worked on the Rural Improvement Zone (RIZ) board with Rutledge
for eight years.
“It is with John’s leadership that this board
has been so successful,” Grotjohn wrote.
A nomination letter from Brian and JoAnn
Johnson touched on the leadership of Rutledge during the passage of the RIZ legislation.
“The credibility John Rutledge brought to
the effort will have long-term benefit,” they
wrote, adding, “Building a strong community is evident through John’s tireless efforts.”
Barry Monaghan, in his nomination letter, said Rutledge is a very capable leader and
an individual who is unafraid to make those
tough decisions that fall into the “grey” area.
“With John at the helm, I have seen the community progress through tough times and
through good times,” Monaghan wrote. “His
leadership during the Mother’s Day tornado
of 2014 was outstanding.”
Monaghan said the future of Lake Panorama
is in excellent hands with Rutledge at the lead.
In a fourth nomination letter, Steve Brannan, who has worked with Rutledge on various committees, said he is most worthy of
the award.
“John has an amazing ability to balance his
time between work, community service and
family time,” Brannan said. “John is always
well prepared for meetings and whatever task
at hand. John is an asset to Lake Panorama
and the Panora community.”

Guthrie and Dallas are two of
19 Iowa counties declared disaster areas by President Barack
Obama due to damage from
storms during the period of
June 20-25.
This makes federal funding
available to state, eligible local governments and others on
a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair and
replacement of facilities.
This could open up state
funds for uninsured Panora
homeowners who had flooding damage from torrential rains
on June 24.
The City of Panora lent support to FEMA in hopes of a similar declaration for the heavy
rainfall here on June 28 as Panora has had its share of flooded
basements this summer.

Western Iowa Folk Alliance to meet August 18
Submitted by Nancita (Nancy)
Wernett-Squires, Of The Earth
Studios: Iowa artist, musician
and educator
We are a group that meets
together to play music, share
ideas, songs, original, traditional and favorites. The group
plays in a round robin format,
unplugged with each person
getting a turn to play a solo,
play with the group accompanying them, or playing along
with others.
Guthrie Center Main Street
Committee has graciously provided a place for us to meet
and play music at the Activity Center, downtown Guthrie
Center. Much appreciation and
thank you goes to them for
their efforts in improving our
community and Main Street
Guthrie Center and for supporting this idea to enrich our
community members.
Our next scheduled Folk Alliance is on August 18, at the
Activity Center, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Coming this fall, we are also
going to create a Western Iowa
Writers Alliance for people who
write original music, poems
and stories and would like
to share them, sing the, act
them out and be a part of a
group who loves original art
and music. If you are a singer
songwriter, if you write poetry,
come read your original work,
theatre and drama actors and
writers, this is perfect for you
all. The place and time will be
announced towards the end
of August.
The idea for a Folk Alliance
was originally founded by eastern Iowa Natalie Brown. We
are a sister program to Natalie’s folk gathering in Eastern
Iowa. In fact, the Eastern Iowa’s Folk Club two year anniversary event is August 31,
in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, at Brewhemia. The Western Iowa
Folk Alliance has been officially invited to attend. “Based
on the folk clubs experienced
in Scotland, musician Natalie Brown hosts this monthly event established August
2013. Any style, any age, any
level - Don’t let the folk club
name fool you, truly any style
of music is welcome.
Please come along and share
a tune, song or just come to
listen and meet folks in and

format, musicians are invited
to jam along unplugged with
each other.
Again, much appreciation
goes to Julie Bailey, Main Street

Pedaler’s Jamboree?
“A laid-back bike ride”
and “a really nice festival”
By Chuck Offenburger
Two veteran bicycle riders
from Iowa who took part in the
7th annual Pedaler’s Jamboree
on the KATY Trail in central Missouri on Saturday & Sunday,
May 23-24, came away from
the event with very favorable
feelings about it -- despite having to deal with some heavy
rains while camping late Saturday night and early Sunday
morning.
Ann Dickinson Nida and her
husband Craig Nida, of Ankeny, said the 60-mile round-trip,
two-day tour was “definitely a
laid-back bike ride,” in Ann’s
words after it was over. The
route was from Columbia, Mo.,
south and west to Boonville,
where there was overnight
camping in a nice trailside
park. There were music venues
in villages along the trail and
in the Boonville campground.
“There was a big crowd, and
so it got crowded sometimes
on the KATY Trail, but everybody seemed to be patient,
and it was a lot of fun,” she
said. “The music was good. It
impressed us that one of the
bands they had had come in
from New York, there were a
couple others from other states,
and then several of the bands
were more local.”
We had asked the Nidas for
their impressions and photos
after the event, especially since
the same organizers of the Pedaler’s Jamboree in Missouri are
going to have their first Pedaler’s Jamboree in Iowa on Sept.
5-6 on our Raccoon River Valley Trail in west central Iowa.
That ride will begin on Saturday morning in Waukee, and
use the RRVT’s north loop for
a 56-mile ride to an overnight
stay in Jefferson -- with music
at several venues in the trail
towns enroute. After a festival
on the courthouse square in
Jefferson Saturday night, the
Jamboree riders on Sunday
will return to Waukee using
the RRVT’s south loop -- another ride of 56 miles -- and
there will be music along the
route that day, too.
Ann Nida said she wore an
Iowa bicycling jersey, and several others on the Pedaler’s Jamboree on the KATY Trail told
her they planned to come to
Iowa in early September for
the new jamboree.
“Especially after the rain
came Saturday night and Sunday morning, a lot of people
were saying they’d really be
looking forward to the jamboree in Iowa because they

know that the RRVT is a paved
trail,” she said.
The KATY Trail has a crushed
rock surface, a really well-established one. But as you can see
in the Nidas’ photographs below here, when there’s significant rain, a crushed rock trail
will still be “soupy.”
“The rain must have started
about 10 or 10:30 Saturday night,
but the bands kept playing right
through it,” Ann Nida said. “After
a while, we just got in our tent,
and of course we could still hear
the music and it was enjoyable.
“Sunday morning, it was kind
of a drizzle when we woke up,
then it would pour for a while,
then drizzle again, and it was
still like that at 8 a.m. or after,”
she continued. “They had a big
breakfast there in the campground -- sausage-egg burritos,
pancakes, the whole works -- and
that was good. Many of the riders -- probably over 50 percent
of them -- decided they were
going to wait and get a sag back
to Columbia instead of riding
in the rain. But my husband
and I decided that since it wasn’t
cold, what the heck, we’d just go
ahead and ride and get wet. So
we did that, and after we rode
for a while, the rain stopped, it
cleared up and the rest of Sunday was beautiful! In fact, by
noon, we were hot. It may have
been a little more enjoyable ride
than Saturday since it wasn’t as
crowded.”
She said in “just a guess,” she
thought there might be 4,000
people riding and participating
in the jamboree. Pedaler’s Jamboree organizer Michael Denehy said 2,200 registered for the
rider’s pass for the event, and
there were more for the various music venues, especially
Saturday night.
The Nidas said Denehy’s company, which is called “Off Track
Events,” had the Pedaler’s Jamboree impressively organized.
“It was well-done because the
staff was never real visible, but
the luggage drop-off and pickup worked great, there were
bleachers where they needed
them, there were portable toilets in place, there were a lot
of bands that were good -- all
nicely done,” Ann Nida said.
Local organizations set up
food stands, and at most of the
music venues, there are beer gardens. But things never got rowdy.
“I felt like it was a really nice
festival atmosphere,” she said.
“The focus was much more on
enjoying the music than on the
beer sales. People were having
a few beers, but they were not
obnoxious or over-drinking.
“There were lots of families
on this ride -- with kids maybe
as young as 8 riding their bikes,
while littler ones were being
pulled in trailers by the moms
and dads. We even saw a couple
of young mothers breastfeeding tiny babies they brought on
the ride. I really enjoyed seeing
the younger crowd. My husband and I are in our 50s, and
while there were definitely a few
people older than us who were
riding, I’d say a majority were
younger than us.”
She said there were no injuries among participants that
she saw.

Incredibowl re-opens in Guthrie
Center, offers dinner, late-night bar
By REBECCA MCKINSEY
Chris Long has bowled at
Guthrie Center’s bowling alley since he was 8 years old.
He came full circle in May
when he and his wife, Melissa,
bought the business, most recently called Gutterz, which
had closed last year.
In about six weeks, they
painted and cleaned the building, built in 1965, put together a
menu and picked a new name
— Incredibowl. They opened
last Monday, and business has
been brisk.
Although some suggested
“Long Lanes,” a play on the
owners’ name, the Longs
chose Incredibowl because
they didn’t want the business
to be about them, they said.
In addition to its eight lanes,
the alley has a bar and restaurant area, a spot to shoot
darts, pool tables, online gaming and gambling machines
and an outdoor seating area.
Dart leagues are already
forming.
About 60 people showed up
the first night the alley was
re-opened, and it’s been busy
ever since.
“We’ve had good community
support already,” Melissa said.
And although the bar draws
in some patrons, the bowling
alley is family-friendly.
“We want this to be a place
for families to come and have
a good time,” Melissa said.
Down the road, the Longs
also hope to have students visit
the bowling alley during school
as part of their physical education classes.
Chris and Melissa both
cook — “good old bowling
alley food,” Chris said. That
includes greasy cheeseburgers
and hand-breaded tenderloin
and chicken strips.
They’ve made up their own
specialty items, including the
Incrediburger and the Barnyard. The latter is appropriately named as it contains
beef, chicken and bacon —
“everything in a barnyard,”
Melissa joked.
The specialty burgers include a bacon weave.
The bowling alley has already played host to adults,
families and a class reunion.
Some come just for the drinks
and darts, while others bring
their bowling game.
Eventually the bowling alley
will be open for lunch — and
on Sundays for leagues — but
for now, it’s open from 5 p.m.
until the bar closes Monday
through Friday, and from 11
a.m. until close Saturday.
The business will open for
leagues on Sundays around
when the school year starts.
The Longs have four kids, all
of whom bowled growing up,
and two grandkids — the old-

It’s an important business to

“We’re going to be here a long
time,” Melissa said.
Decades after he began bowling at the alley, Chris said he
enjoys running it now. He joked
that purchasing it is his midlife
crisis.
“I thought, ‘It’ll be an adventure,’” he said.

Crews worked at midfield putting field turf down on the
Panorama football field Saturday afternoon, August 1. The field
is expected to be ready when the Panthers open the season
hosting Ogden on August 28.
After the field turf is laid in 10 yard sections, crews stretch the turf from east to west before it is rolled over several times. Crews
began placing the turf last weekend, reaching mid-field by Saturday afternoon and the five-yard line by early Sunday.
Work continues at the new concession stand at the Panorama
Athletic Complex. Rafters were installed last week.
Surfacing of the new eight lane track at the new Panorama
athletic complex was in full force on Wednesday, July 29.
The asphalt work is in the final stages at the new Panorama
athletic complex and field turf began over the weekend.

PANORAMA
FROM Page 1A
to Panora with their families for
the weekend, had a lot of fun.
“Wow, you really feel like you
are in the game,” Mark chimed.
“I feel like the guy in the game
moving around on the pole.”
Waddle, who served as the
tournament official, said many
teams are already talking about
next year.
“I know several of the teams
will be back,” she said. “We will
continue to make changes from
the experience to make it even
better.”
A Kids Cake Walk and Pedal Pull,
a 5K run and fireworks were also
on the schedule, along with a variety of music and a Bill Riley Talent Show. The show was arguably
highlighted by a stunning performance from Senior Division winner and Panorama senior-to-be
Annie Kemble. Kemble advances
to the State Fair with the title.
“She has a beautiful voice,” a
listener whispered in the crowd.
Saturday featured a Bass Fishing tournament at Lake Panorama, the annual Panorama Days
Parade, the Treasures & Beyond
Flea Market, a Classic Car Show,
Bags Tournament and hours of
music in the Gazebo.
In a presentation on the Town
Square, John Rutledge, general
manager of the Lake Panorama
Association, was named Panora’s
Citizen of the Year. (See related
story on Page 2).
The Lake Panorama Ski Show
entertained boatloads of fans on
the water and a packed South
Shore on land Saturday afternoon. Four-year-old Hope Kargarzadeh might have stolen the
show as the youngest member of
the team with her “Just Ducky”
routine. Hope is the daughter of
Reza and Katie (Lewis) Kargarzadeh and the granddaughter of
Neil and Marcia Lewis of Bayard.
The former Katie Lewis is a 1997
graduate of Guthrie Center, where
she excelled as a student-athlete.
New to the Ski Show, in its 31st
year, was a “Big Tow” routine with
the boat pulling two separate pyramids — one after another. Sixteen girls, in the largest grouping
ever for the Lake Panorama ski
team, took off the dock together
to perform a striking Girls Line
routine.
The annual Alumni Banquet
was held Saturday night at Panorama high school. In a new event
this year, former Homecoming
Kings and Queens were recognized as a royal court. Honored
were the classes of 1965 and 1990,
marking their 50th and 25th anniversaries. Beverly George Hagerty and Mike Ketelsen spoke for
the former and Stephanie Snyder
Francis for the latter. Francis, a
1990 graduate, delivered an entertaining speech. She’s lived in
seven different states and had her
four children in attendance. “I
brought them here because I want
them to know you can do whatever you want in life,” she said.
Several attended the Street
Dance with “The Sons of Gladys
Kravitz” performing outside the
Owl’s Nest on Main Street, while
others relaxed at Main Beach for
a Boat In/Beach Movie to end
the night.
Crandall and Waddle, who were
both found all around the community volunteering at various
events, say they have already
started planning for next year.
“A lot of work goes into it,” Crandall said. “We want to continue to
make it bigger and better.”
Wakeboarder Eric Reese jumps over wakeboarder Bre Neel during the Lake Panorama Ski Show Saturday. The high-energy
act was a crowd-pleaser.
Mark and Eric Reese hold a bar above their head while Kylee
Tessman performs during a Trios Act during the Lake Panorama Ski Team’s “Hollskiwood” Show Saturday.
A 6x4x2 pyrmaid skis by the crowd on the south shore of
Lake Panorama during the team’s 31st annual show held
during Panorama Days Saturday, August 1.

The 2015 Iowa High School
State Baseball Tournament
wrapped up last weekend
at Principal Park in Des
Moines and four schools
were crowned state champions throughout the four
class sizes.
In 1-A, top-ranked Newman Catholic of Mason City
defeated No. 4 Pleasantville
10-0 in the championship
game. The Knights saw their
ace pitcher Joey Verstegen
throw a no-hitter and in the
fifth inning, they collected
all 10 of their runs to end the
contest in five innings. The
victory was Newman Catholic’s fifth state title.
In 2-A, sixth-ranked Clear
Lake defeated No. 4 Columbus Catholic of Waterloo 11-1
in five innings to claim the
title. The Lions used a fiverun second inning and a sixrun third inning to jump out
on the Sailors. Adam Brock
pitched all five innings for
Clear Lake and he gave up
just one run off two hits. The
win gave the Lions their second state title in three years.
In 3-A, second-ranked Waverly-Shell Rock defeated No.
7 Harlan 11-1 in five innings
to earn its first state title in
school history. The Go-Hawks
exploded for eight runs in
the fifth inning after already
leading 3-1 to end the contest early. Alex Robson allowed just one run off two
hits during his five innings
on the mound for WaverlyShell Rock.
In 4-A, unranked Southeast Polk defeated No. 8 Iowa
City West 6-2 in the championship game. The Rams
saw Thomas McLaughlin go
the distance on the hill, allowing two runs off six hits
in a complete-game effort.
Southeast Polk opened up
the contest by scoring four
runs in the top of the first
inning and adding another
run in the second and sixth
frames. With the victory, the
Rams have won back-to-back
state titles.
Best of the Best
Throughout the four classes, there were some extraordinary performances by
some of the best baseball
players around the state of
Iowa. Henry Sam of Southeast Polk led the entire state
tournament in hits with nine,
Josh Fitzgerald of Newman
Catholic scored the most runs
with eight, Mitch Keeran of
Clear Lake tallied the most
RBI with six, Pleasantville’s
Zeb Adreon recorded the
tournament’s lone home run
and Tanner Foster of Martensdale-St. Marys racked up
the most strikeouts of any
pitcher with 22 in 11 innings.

INA names All-State Teams for 2015
des moines
The Iowa Newspaper Association announced its 2015 All-State
Baseball selections Tuesday, selecting first, second, third teams
and team captains for classes 1A,
2A, 3A and 4A.
The four seniors who were selected as team captains are 4A –
Zach Daniels, Cedar Rapids, Kennedy; 3A – Jake Velky, WaverlyShell Rock; 2A – Brock Adams,
Clear Lake and 1A – Kaden Wadle,
Newman Catholic, Mason City.
Cedar Rapids Kennedy’s Zach
Daniels was a standout at the plate,
in the field and on the mound,
and was named Class 4A captain.
Daniels, a three-time all-state
selection as a middle infielder,
capped his senior year by leading
the Cougars to the state semifinals. Daniels hit .519 with 70 hits,
including 19 doubles, five triples
and two homeruns. The University
of Iowa recruit had 27 RBIs and
scored 46 runs, stealing 26 bases in
27 attempts. Daniels, a two-time
Mississippi Valley Conference divisional Player of the Year, posted
a 4-2 pitching record with a 2.52
earned-run average, tallying 54
strikeouts in 50 innings pitched.
Waverly-Shell Rock senior Jake
Velky was voted first team captain for Class 3A. Velky, a four-year
letter-winner, made 10 starts for
the Go-Hawks in his final season
donning the black and gold. He
crafted a 7-2 record with a 2.26
ERA. He got the nod against Boone
in the state semifinal, where he
worked all five innings, allowed
one earned run off seven hits and
struck out four en route to his
seventh victory of the season. Offensively, the Go-Hawks’ leadoff
man hit .375, slugged .516 and
recorded a .487 on-base percentage. Velky went 3-for-10 with a
pair of doubles and five RBI at
the state tournament. He was a
perfect 30-for-30 in stolen base
attempts.
Clear Lake senior and Class 2A
captain Brock Adams allowed just
four earned runs this season and
finished with an 8-1 record on
the mound. He finished with a
0.44 ERA and won five postseason games. He tossed a two-hitter
in the state championship game
against Waterloo Columbus. At
the plate, Adams hit .417 and
drove in 36 runs. He also scored
a team-best 46 runs and tied for
the team lead with 48 hits. Adams helped the Lions to two state
championships in his career. As a
sophomore, Adams started on a
team that won the Class 3A state
championship.
Kaden Wadle of Newman Catholic, Mason City was chosen as the
captain of the class 1A all-state
team. The future Kirkwood Community College player finished
his career with 26 wins and only
one loss. Wadle, who was 8-1 on
the mound with an ERA of 1.60
for the Class 1A state championship season, also hit .451 at the
plate. Wadle recorded 51 hits, led
the class with 21 doubles, while
also recording 42 RBI and scoring 46 runs.

DRILL
FROM Page 2A
SANDY MCCURDY | VEDETTE
The two shelters from the
MHCF, along with a vestibule
and trailer boot, were assembled
and staged for patient care. Volunteers from the DMAT were
on site to provide supplemental
assistance to the Guthrie County
Hospital staff members. The
DMAT functioned under the
authority of the Guthrie County
Hospital. The EHRT monitored
all environmental issues outside
of the main hospital. The MHCF
was activated for patient care
at 3:30 p.m. on July 18.
Two additional shelters were
set up in the parking lot south
of the hospital’s rehabilitation
center. These shelters were
equipped much like the emergency room shelters, intended
to provide an overflow patient
care area should it be needed.
Both of these operations continued throughout the following week.
At approximately 8:05 p.m.,
on Saturday, July 25, the scenario imagined an explosion
occurring at the Guthrie County
Fairgrounds, causing equipment to be knocked over. A large
scaffolding holding lighting
equipment crashes down on
the performing stage, causing it
to collapse. The ensuing panic
causes the festival attendees to
stampede. Reports began coming in, indicating 30-50 mock
casualties and the potential for
some mock fatalities in the drill.
The onsite incident commander radioed the dispatch
center requesting additional
response resources and to tell
GCH to activate their disaster
plan.
The drill
With scenarios set, the exercise drill begins.
Volunteers are given cards
with their personal information, including their name, age,
and the extent of their injuries.
The patients were then taken
to one of the shelters, where
they were “checked” in, giving
their information to the staff
located inside the shelter.
Staff then determined where
the patient was to go for treatment. With the influx of many
“patients,” it looked like a lot of
confusion inside the shelter, as
volunteers were not sure what
was going on.
Logistical Support Response
team members were on hand
to help, keeping an eye on the
operations to make sure all was
well. As patients were checked
in, they were taken to different
areas for treatment, depending
on how badly they were injured.
The whole exercise wasn’t so
much about the actual medical
treatment of the patients as it
was about the communication
required to handle a large-scale
emergency.
Besides the command center
for treatment and dispersing of
the “patients,” there was also an
exercise for the Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team,
which included a small field of
fatalities. These “bodies” were
tagged, and, using GPS coordinates, locations were recorded.
Every item around them was
tagged.
One of the disasters that was being practiced involved fatalities. Here, the scene is being examined, and staff is taking notes about the scene.
A “patient” is treated for injuries during the emergency exercise held at the Guthrie County
Hospital.
The mock fatalities had to be
identified scientifically — by
dental records, surgical scars,
tattoos, etc. since disasters such
as explosions or plan crashes
often make identification difficult.
The drill included locating the
actual scene, setting up a temporary morgue, and creating a
family assistance center. A team
of several volunteers worked
the scene with the fatalities.
At the end of the exercise, the
group was to figure out what
worked and what didn’t.
Deputy State Medical Examiner Dennis Klein, MD, was the
leader of the IMORT team on
the scene.
The state is prepared to handle emergencies, but if the severity is too great, a stop gap is
created until Federal response is
available, which can take up to
three days. Rural Iowa doesn’t
have the resources to handle
large numbers of deceased individuals. These exercises are
important as they help volunteers to identify personal needs
in different protocols.
This exercise allowed partici-
Patients were checked in to the first of three joining tents,
telling personnel their symptoms before being directed
where to go for treatment.
This is one of the “fatalities” in the drill. He has been
tagged and his position marked to help officials with the
investigation of the explosion and to help identify the
victim.
pants to test a new computer
program under development to
manage mass fatality events.
The volunteers on site indicated
that more of these exercises are
needed. One every three years
or so isn’t enough, they said.
In the emergency patient
scenario, the massive influx of
people needing medical help,
but not knowing where to go,
caused tremendous confusion
for participants.
This reporter’s duty as a player for this exercise was to get
into a place where the media
isn’t suppose to be. I got away
with being in the check-in tent. I
went through the other shelters
and took pictures, without being questioned or asked to stop.
At about the end of the exer-
cise, when numbers were being transferred to the incident
headquarters, I was asked what
I was doing there then told to go
to the media conference room
inside the hospital.
Command Central was located in the room to which I
was sent. Media is to stay away
from patients because of privacy issues related to HIPPA.
Command Central was keeping everything organized and
rolling.
Ginny Renslow, the Guthrie County Hospital Emer-
gency Department manager
was the disaster coordinator
for this event. Roger Madsen,
director of plant operations, at
the hospital also participated.
The exercise was over by
noon, as scheduled.
Luckily for all involved with
the River Ruckus in any way,
shape or form, there wasn’t a
tornado the week before, and
there was no explosion causing fatalities.
But, thanks to the drill, the
hospital staff is better prepared
should a disaster ever strike.

HUCKABEE
FROM Page 2A
He told the audience that it’s
necessary to secure the borders
before talking about what would
be done with the illegal immigrants already in the country —
sharing those plans beforehand
would encourage more illegal immigrants to cross the borders to
avoid the penalties later, he said.
“If we don’t control the borders,
we’re not a country anymore,” he
said. “We’re not a mean country, but we need to control the
borders.”
Huckabee also noted that anyone who has ever paid into Social Security should be entitled
to its benefits — a sometimes
unpopular position among his
party, he said.
The former Arkansas governor
touched on providing better services to veterans and strengthening the military — “The best way
to win a war is to have a military
no one in the world would dare
pick a fight on,” he said.
He added, “We need to make
sure if someone touches a hair
on the head of an American, the
price will be the life of the person
who thought to do that.”
In response to one audience
member’s question about how
to combat communities in the
U.S. that try to instate Sharia
law, Huckabee said the quickest way to stop the decision is
to cut off federal funding to that
community.
Addressing recent allegations
that Planned Parenthood sells
fetal body parts, Huckabee said,
“It is so disgusting. … To sell the
parts of a human baby as if they
were parts of a used Buick is beneath a civilized society.”
He noted that if the country
doesn’t quickly make changes on
a variety of planes, his grandchildren will be living “the American
nightmare.”
One of Huckabee’s main points
was that the U.S. needs to depend on God.
“Getting America back on its
feet will never happen unless
America gets back on its knees
again,” he said.
“No president can be perfect,
but you need a president who
in his imperfections can lean to
the God who is perfect and the

to vote for all supervisors, the
majority of voters — 924 — chose
Tuesday to keep the current system, Plan 3, which includes set
districts for supervisors and allows the residents of each district
to vote only for their individual
supervisor, rather than for all five.
A total of 774 people voted for
the committee’s proposed plan,
while 18 people voted for a third
option, Plan 1, that would allow
all residents to vote for all supervisors and also remove district
residency requirements for supervisors, according to results
from the county auditor’s office.
Panora resident Corinne Hummel voted for the committee’s
proposed plan Tuesday evening.
The lack of district requirements for voters would have
allowed more people to be involved in electing each of the
supervisors — a good change,
she said.
“It would change the good ol’
boys’ club,” she said. “I think the
supervisors would pay more attention to what people feel, even
Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee speaks
with residents at Prime Time in Guthrie Center July 30.
people who are better at it than
even he is.”
Huckabee asked those listening to his presentation to caucus
for him early next year.
“If you’re going to be committed to caucus for me next February, I need you to be ready to go
through sleet, snow, ice, whatever it takes to caucus,” he said.
He joked that if they decide instead to support one of the “other 342 Republicans running for
president” — “I can’t imagine how
you would,” he added — then
they should just stay home out
of the weather that day.
Although, he added, “Any one
of them on that stage would be
better than the person in the
White House right now.”
Huckabee ran unsuccessfully
for the Republican nomination
in 2008, when he was “central
to the faith-based GOP voters,”
said Steffen Schmidt, a professor
of political science at Iowa State
University whose areas of study
include presidential politics and
Iowa caucuses.
“Now, he has to compete with
15 others,” Schmidt continued.
“And faith based is now so common that he is overwhelmed and
his message stepped on by Scott
Walker, (Bobby) Jindal and others.”
He noted that poll numbers
suggest Huckabee won’t draw
enough support, and that pollsters and analysts believe he will
be an early dropout in the race.
But in Guthrie Center, Huckabee’s message resonated with
some.
Joking with the audience members that he wouldn’t speak too
long so that they could get back
to their farming, Huckabee noted
that some Guthrie Center residents know what it means to
struggle.
“I hear the president saying the
economy is in recovery,” he said.
“But folks, I don’t think I have to
tell you in Guthrie Center that for
a lot of people, the economy is
not in recovery.”
Rita King, treasurer for the
Guthrie County Republican Party,
said she believes the audience
responded well to Huckabee’s
presentation.
“He’s doing excellent,” she said.
“He’s right up at the top of the lot
of (the Republican candidates).”
She especially appreciated
Huckabee’s comments on Planned
Parenthood and the military.
His policies on illegal immigration are also significant and
could affect some businesses in
Guthrie County, King added.
“I think he’d do an awesome
job,” she said.
if they’re not in their districts.
This would change the downhome politics.”
The current supervisors were
split on the committee’s proposed
change, with some arguing that
allowing all residents to vote on
all supervisors would cause elections to lean unfairly toward more
highly populated areas of the
county, while under-representing the county’s rural residents.
But Board of Supervisors chairman Tom Rutledge said he supported Plan 2, the change advocated by the committee.
“You make decisions for the
whole county and represent
everyone in the county, so I’m
not sure why we can’t be voted
on by the whole county population like every other elected
official,” he said.
He added that he was glad to
see how many county residents
were paying attention and decided to vote.
“It’s not the end of the world;
government will still go on with
it this way,” he said. “Change like
that is hard to get passed.”
Steve Brannan, a Panora resident who helped head the committee, said he believes misinformation was spread during the
weeks leading up to the election,
including that voting for Plan
2 would allow Lake Panorama
residents to control the county’s
government and money, and that
the committee had set the date
for the election — rather, election
dates are set by the Iowa code.
“The issue got lost, and that
was sad,” he said.
He noted that the committee
and other supporters of Plan 2
had tried to “take the high road”
during the election process by
offering facts and explaining
why they felt residents should
have more voting power for their
county supervisors.
“Unfortunately, we got beat up
on that road,” he said. “Sometimes, I guess you just gotta go
down in the gutter and get with
them.”
The committee and other Plan
2 supporters won’t stop trying to
make sure county residents are
fairly represented, Brannan said.
“Hopefully our county supervisors we have will come to the
table and possibly try to work
together a little bit more now,
after this is over, than they have
been here lately,” he said.

Greening Up Your Yard: What You Can Do
Iowa Department
of Natural Resources
Climate change, greenhouse
gases, carbon footprints, water
quality— the problems are huge
and the impact we can deliver
seems minimal. But, you can
do something simple—cut back
on yardwork.
Most people don’t think
about the carbon footprint left
by their lawns and lawn care.
Green is green, right? However,
if you add it all up, America’s
31.6 million acres of turf have
a big impact. Lawn care for an
individual household can add
up to one-third of the water bill
during summer months.
That water takes energy to
pump and treat—costing about
$4 billion and using 56 billion
kilowatt-hours of electricity per
year on a nationwide scale. Fuel,
fertilizer and carbon emissions
all have their costs to the environment, too.
But we can make a difference, one yard at a time. Simple
changes in your management
style and landscaping can save
more than money. Use these
tips to save energy, time, greenhouse gas emissions and water.
10 Cost-free Tips
1. Set your mower high to
leave two to 3.5 inches of grass
blade. Cut no more than onethird of the grass blade at a
time to increase plant health
and retain moisture.
2. Let lawns go dormant during the hottest weeks of summer.
Most turf grasses will survive

more than a month without
water.
3. If you must have green
grass, water during the early
morning (most preferable time
to prevent disease problems) or
evening to reduce evaporation.
4. Sprinklers put water on
sidewalks, streets or lose spray
to the air. Use drip hoses or soak
systems to place water where
it’s needed to cut water use up
to 50 percent.
5. Don’t over water. Add rainfall and watering together by setting up a rain gauge or an open
tin can. Most lawns need about
one inch of water per week, so
only water enough to make up
for lack of rainfall.
6. Use alarm clocks, kitchen
timers, outdoor water timers or
rain sensors to make sure you
turn the water off.
7. Water deeply and slowly.
Give water time to soak into the
soil to promote deep roots and
healthy plants. You’ll prevent
water pollution, too, by keeping nutrients in your yard, not
in runoff.
8. Take advantage of rainfall
by directing downspouts into
shrubs and gardens, and away
from your foundation.
9. Minimize fertilizer (often
made using natural gas) use,
particularly in dry years. Heavily
fertilized turf uses more water
and can actually stress plants
during a drought. That dark
green color is actually a sign
of over-fertilization – a healthy
lawn is a medium green color.
The most important time to fertilize is during the fall, so plants
go into winter with strong root
systems and extra food supplies.
Use a slow release product and
apply it during dry spells.
10. If washing your car at
home, park it on the lawn to
take advantage of the runoff
and keep pollutants from storm

sewers. Or use a commercial
car wash, where the rinse water is collected and treated.
10 Low-cost Tips
1. Use mulch around plants
and in gardens to reduce evaporation and keep weeds at bay.
2. Add compost, cow manure,
peat or other organic matter
to increase your soil’s capacity to absorb water and add
nutrients.
3. Start a compost pile to de-
compose yard wastes instead
of sending them to a city facility.Tutorial: Learn How to
Compost at Home
4. Add composted leaves and
grass clippings to the top layer
of your lawn to provide organic
matter and soil nutrients.
5. Consider replacing annuals
with native ecotype perennials
for low maintenance and lower
water requirements. Generally, native plants will perform
better and require less water,
fertilizer, and pest or disease
management because they
have adapted to local conditions over thousands of years.
7 Native, Easy to Care For
Plants for Your Yard
6. Consider downsizing
large expanses of lawn, replacing turf grass with native
plants that also attract birds
and butterflies. You’ll reduce
time and gas used for mowing, while decreasing maintenance and costs for fertilizer
and pesticides.
7. As you plan garden areas,
put plants with the same moisture requirements in groupings
so you can water according to
their needs.
8. Use a mulching lawn mower to cut down on mowing time
and carbon emissions while
adding organic matter and
fertilizer to your lawn.
9. Consider an electric mower
to reduce air and noise pollution. Or, in a small yard, a
modern push mower can limit greenhouse gas emissions
while providing a calorie-cutting workout.
10. Check garden hoses and
hose fittings for leaks. Fix leaks
and replace washers in the hose
ends. Just 12 drops per minute can add up to 52 gallons
per month or 631 gallons per
year. This can save you money
inside your house, too.
