After weeks of low to moderate influenza levels in Iowa,
the Iowa Department of Public
Health (IDPH) reports statewide
surveillance indicates flu activity is increasing. The flu season
typically peaks in February and
can last as late as May. The most
current surveillance shows cases
of influenza have been confirmed
by the State Hygienic Lab (SHL) in
every region of the state and the
geographic reach of influenza is
now categorized as ‘widespread,’
the highest level.
The Guthrie County Sheriff’s
Office is looking to make the
courtroom safer after a woman
kicked, scratched and bit several officers during a sentencing Dec. 1.
Sheriff Marty Arganbright
spoke with the Guthrie County
Supervisors about his goals for
the courthouse last week.
Ideally, Arganbright said, he
would like to see the courthouse
have only one entrance, equipped
with a metal detector and staffed
at all times by a deputy. The Dallas
County courthouse has a similar
setup, he said.
“That’s the only way to make
it so it’s totally secure,” he said.

Segebart:
Interstates
80, 35 in
Iowa should
be toll roads
By REBECCA MCKINSEY | Guthrie Center Times staff
Allen Sayre starts with a cable.
It might be 1/8-inch thick and 8 feet long.
Another is 5/64-inch thick and 4 feet long.
With deft movements, he attaches various
parts, using a punch press — which cuts holes
in metal — to hold everything together.
By DOUGLAS BURNS
State Sen. Mark Segebart, RVail, last week offered a solution to improve Iowa’s roadsand-bridges budget: turn the
interstates into toll roads.
“They need to be a toll road
if you really want to know,”
Segebart told the Carroll City
Council.
Segebart, who was talking
about gas tax proposals and
transportation budget matters, did not identify which
interstates in Iowa he wanted
to see become toll roads.
In an interview after the council meeting, Segebart said he
thinks Interstates 80 and 35
should be tolled.
“I would think Interstate 80

Sayre makes snares by
hand and sells them through
his Guthrie Center-based
company, Hilltop Outdoor
Supply. He has run the company for about two years, although he has been a trapper
most of his life.
“I just love what I do,” Sayre
said. “I enjoy the people; I enjoy helping people succeed.”
He makes snares that range
in size — some are for rabbits and minks, and others
are for hogs or alligators. He
doesn’t just sell in Iowa, and
on his website, he specifies
that those buying the snares
need to make sure they are
doing so legally, depending
on the laws in each state.
Sayre started putting his
products online about two
years ago. Before long, orders
were pouring in — now, he
makes, sells and ships snares
and trapping supplies full
time, seven days a week. He
said that on a typical day, he
might ship 50 or more orders.
His business still expands
almost every day, he added.
Most times, snares are sold
by the dozen, although he
sells them in any quantity.
And they go everywhere.
Not just throughout the U.S.,
but outside it. Sayre said he
gets many orders from Australia and the UK.
For now, Hilltop Outdoor
Supply is mostly just Sayre,
although several people help
out, including his wife, Jodie.
The business gets its name
from its location, atop Roost
Lane in Guthrie Center.
“We’re about as top-ofthe-hill as you can get,”
Sayre said. “If it’s a windy
day and you come up here,
you’ll know it.”
In Iowa, it’s common to
trap muskrats, beavers, foxes,
badgers, minks, raccoons,
bobcats and coyotes.

HUNTING
Iowa deer
harvest
similar to 2013
Iowa Department of Natural
Resources
Heading in to the final weeks
of Iowa 2014 deer hunting season, hunters are on pace to harvest an estimated 100,000 deer,
which would be similar to 2013.
The reported harvest was
trailing 2013 totals until hunters
reported a 40 percent increase
during the second weekend of
the nine day second shotgun
deer season, pushing the second season harvest 3 percent
higher than 2013, but 35 percent
lower than the peak of 2006.
Harvest for the year to date is
4,300 more deer than the same
time last year, led by an 11 percent increase in the buck harvest. The doe harvest is down
1 percent which is the result of
regulations changes.
The late muzzleloader season is Dec. 22 to Jan. 10, 2015,
which is the final opportunity
to hunt deer this year, after the

John and Vera Kock sit in Vera’s room at Sunnybrook. The couple spend most of their time there.
After 70 years of marriage, Carroll couple still flirts, laughs
By REBECCA MCKINSEY
A faded photo, 70 years
old, shows a young man
and woman, faces bright,
beaming.
It’s mounted on a piece of
worn lace, almost as old, and it
hangs on the wall next to where
Vera Kock sits at Sunnybrook.
It’s her and John Kock on their
wedding day — Oct. 24, 1944.
If you ask them now, they’ll
say they didn’t necessarily expect to make it to 70 years of
marriage. But then, they didn’t
plan for anything different.
They made the promise, “till
death do us part,” and they
meant it.
Vail was where they spent
most of their lives, but it was
near Westside that they met.
The setting was a local dance
— most everyone went to the
dances in those days, said Vera,
now 90.
And John was there with another girl.
Indeed, it was that girl, Vera’s
first cousin, who introduced
the pair. And that was it.
“I thought he was handsome,” Vera said. “He still is.”
As for John, now 92, he just enjoyed being with Vera.
“After awhile, we started dating, and that’s the end of the
story,” Vera said.
Six months after they met,
they were married.
“I just asked her if she wanted to keep house for me,” John
joked — on the way home from
another dance, he recalled.
But it wasn’t the end, far from
it. The couple had seven children — Keith, Kathy, Shirley,
Marilyn, JoAnn, Annette and
John — with about 15 years in
between their boys.
“It wasn’t as hectic as you
think it would be,” Vera recalls now.
Despite the large family, the
house was always neat, Marilyn
said. She jokingly remembered
a childhood friend coming over
to the Kocks’ house and asking
what chores she needed to do.
“I remember Saturday afternoon, five girls, and Vera would
be shampooing and putting
Vera Kock looks at a family photo in her room at Sunnybrook.
An old family photo hangs in Vera Kock’s room at
Sunnybrook; John and Vera Kock, in the center, are
surrounded by their children and grandchildren. Enough
time has passed since the photo was taken that the youngest
child pictured, on the left, is now an adult.
up their hair,” John said. “Every Saturday. And they always
looked nice.”
And she shined their shoes,
preparing them for Mass the
next day.
John farmed for the first
few years, and then he ran
a hardware store. During
the years that followed, Vera
worked with him at the store.
It was a “mom-and-pop” store,
they said, and it offered appliances, plumbing, air-conditioning and heating supplies and
services. And it was a family
operation — as they grew up,
the kids worked there, too.
The years filled with memories. Education was important.
The family took trips when each
child graduated high school —
all from Kuemper — and visited
Colorado, Yellowstone, St. Louis.
They’ve traveled further, too —
Alaska, the Bahamas, Ireland.
It wasn’t always easy. Kids got
sick. John battled cancer at one
point. But they never gave up.
“I don’t think either of them
would ever tell you there was
ever a doubt they were going
to spend their whole lives together,” Marilyn said. “That
was definitely a commitment
they made.”
Their family expanded,
greatly. On top of their seven
kids, they have 20 grandchildren and more than 20 greatgrandchildren.
“As they get older, it’s gotten to be a closer relationship,” said Marilyn, 65. “You
can tell they have their own
inside jokes. They certainly
have their own way with one
another that’s unique to them.”
As much as possible, holidays
are spent with family. For years,
that meant packing the house
in Vail with kids, and their kids,
and their kids.
“How many did we bed
down?” John tried to recall.

Carroll Mayor Adam Schweers
has a message for his city. Watch
what’s happening to the east in
Jefferson and Greene County.
Earlier this month, Schweers
delivered a wide-ranging, halfhour speech to a crowd of about
40 people at the Knights of Columbus hall during a public forum on housing in Carroll.
Schweers said he was not trying to strong-arm a Kansas City,
Kansas, developer’s 32-unit, affordable-housing complex into
the city. An earlier meeting in
which the Carroll City Council
rejected local incentives to help
the company leverage an application for federal tax credits
through the state got “out of
hand,” Schweers said.
In framing the challenges before Carroll, Schweers pointed
to the recent cascade of positive developments in Greene
County, noting that there will
be job opportunities in Jefferson and Scranton.
“For us to be entirely, entirely sitting still, just waiting for
people to come into their own,
is going to put us also at a disadvantage as we move ahead,”
Application Deadline
Approaches for
students seeking YES
Abroad Scholarship
The application deadline for
the 2015-2016 Kennedy-Lugar
Youth Exchange and Study (YES)
Abroad scholarship program is
January 7, 2015. The program
provides full scholarships to
American high school students to
experience overseas communities and cultures, preparing students to collaborate on today’s
global challenges such as human
rights, community development,
workforce development, climate
change, and global health.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the YES
Abroad program enables students
to study for one academic year
in countries that may include
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ghana,
South Africa, India, Indonesia,
Macedonia, Malaysia, Morocco,
Oman, Philippines, Thailand, and
Turkey. The merit-based scholarship covers domestic and international travel; applicable visa
fees; medical benefits; room and
board; tuition at the local high
school; orientations; and fees for
educational and cultural activities.
Participants in the program
fully immerse themselves into
the culture of their host family
while attending local high school.
Erica, a current scholarship re-
cipient from Wisconsin, who was
named the October 2014 American Abroad of the Month by the
State Department, said: “My time
in South Africa has given me a
chance to learn from daily life
in my host school, while focusing my attention outward to my
host family and community. Every day I am both a student and
teacher to my peers, and I have
learned so much not just about
what it means to be Zulu, Xhosa, or Afrikaans, but also what it
means to be an American. I have
found that it is in the informal
conversations between classes
and sport where I have learned
and shared the most.”
A 2012 participant, Hannah,
who studied in Malaysia for
one year, stated that “the YES
Abroad program opened my
eyes. I learned about a new culture and shared my own. I now
have two homes, two families and
countless friends from around
the world.”
Interested students should visit www.yes-abroad.org to learn
more the program and to apply.
Contact the YES Abroad program
at [email protected] or 800237-4636 x2151 if you have questions about the program or application process.
SAFETY
bought a $260 case to house a
defibrillator in the courthouse
hallway. Making the courtroom
safer is the next step for improving the courthouse, Arganbright
said.
After Malissa Lou Brooks swallowed a bottle of pills and struck
out at officers during her sentencing earlier this month, medical
bills for both her and several officers approached $2,500.
Arganbright hopes to avoid
similar situations in the future.
“I hate to think this, but what
if somebody had a gun in there?”
Arganbright said. “We’ve been
lucky, but we don’t want our luck
to run out.”

Schweers said. “We’ve got a lot
of things going on in Greene
County. You hear a lot about
a new casino and new Hy-Vee
and McFarland Clinic and a few
other things
that they’ve
got going on,
some expansions in their
manufacturing, at a time
when we’ve
got businesses here that
Carroll
are looking to Mayor Adam
expand and a Schweers
pool of workers that doesn’t
really exist.”
Schweers said Carroll needs
to do more to create a climate
to attract and retain employees, or see them go elsewhere.
“I can tell that we’re going to
have to get fairly aggressive in
our thinking again, and a little
less taken for granted,” Schweers
said. “Because there’s people
that are creating jobs all around
us and doing additional housing projects that reflect their
wages, and doing some of these
different things that are making it a lot harder for us as we
look forward as policymakers
to create a future.”
However, the metal detector
likely won’t happen immediately,
Arganbright said. Simpler measures that the sheriff’s office can
implement sooner include patting down people who come in
from the street for sentencing
and buying a hand-held, wandlike metal detector.
Arganbright said the office
will immediately make the first
change and will look into buying
the hand-held metal detector in
the next year.

Center in 1965 where she
enjoyed her life as a wife and
mother. She took great pride
in her home, her cooking,
and her flowers and garden.
The family enjoyed camping
and traveling across the
United States. The title of
“grandma” was very special
to her when Matthew joined
the family. Madeleine was an
active member of the Faith
Bible Church of Panora.
Madeleine and Max were
married at her parents’ rural
home by North Branch,
Iowa on December 20, 1954.

to home. She also enjoyed
spending time outside with
activities that included
vegetable gardening, flowers,
yard work and camping with
family and friends as long
as she did not have to sleep
in a tent. Venene’s favorite
things to collect were green
depression glass, pitchers,
snowmen and bunnies. Some

HHS AWARDS
$43.1 MILLION
HHS awards $43 million to
Iowa test an innovative plan
to improve health care quality,
accessibility and affordability.
Iowa will receive up to $43.1
million to implement and test
health care payment and service delivery models that will
improve health care quality and
lower costs, Secretary of Health
and Human Services Sylvia M.
Burwell announced today, December 16, 2014.
Iowa’s plan for health system
transformation builds upon the
Accountable Care Organization
(ACO) model that currently cov-
ers the state’s expanded Medicaid population, called the Iowa
Health and Wellness Plan. This
population-based model also
will align with quality measures
and payment methodology utilized by the Wellmark commercial
ACOs. In addition, the state will
work with the same data analytic contractor as Wellmark so
that provider organizations have
consistent and usable data to
transform their practice from
volume-based reimbursement
to value-based reimbursement.
By the end of the performance
period, the Medicaid ACOs will
be accountable for the long term
care and behavioral health services of their attributed patients.
Iowa will use funding to integrate
community-based resources into
the ACOs by providing technical assistance through various
partners. The state also will leverage and spread existing community transformation initiatives
focused on the social determinants of health.
“We are committed to partnering with Iowa to advance the
goals we all share: better care,
smarter spending, and, ultimately, healthier people,” said
Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell. “We’re seeing states do some
very innovative things when it
comes to improving the ways we
deliver care, pay providers, and
distribute information. Those
funds will support Iowa in integrating and coordinating the
many elements of health care including Medicaid, Medicare,
public health, and private health
care delivery systems - to the
benefit of patients, businesses,
and taxpayers alike.”
Nationwide, 28 states, three
territories and the District of
Columbia will receive over $665
million in Affordable Care Act
funding to design and test health
care payment and service delivery models that will improve
health care quality and lower
costs. Together with awards released in early 2013, over half of
states (34 states and 3 territories
and the District of Columbia),
representing nearly two thirds of
the population are participating
in comprehensive state-based
innovation in health system
transformation.
States will engage a broad
group of stakeholders including health care providers and
systems, long-term service and
support providers, commercial
payers, state hospital and medical associations, tribal communities and consumer advocacy
organizations. Transformation
efforts supported by this initiative must improve health, improve care and lower costs for
Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance program
(CHIP) beneficiaries. In addition,
the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) will
identify best practices among
state-led transformations that are
potentially scalable to all states.
The State Innovation Models initiative is one part of an
overall effort to help lower costs
and improve care through the
Affordable Care Act. Initiatives
like Accountable Care Organizations, the Partnership for Patients and others have helped
reduce hospital readmissions
in Medicare by nearly 8 percent
between 2007 and 2013 - translating into 150,000 fewer readmissions - and quality improvements have resulted in saving
50,000 lives and $12 billion in
health spending from 2010 to
2013, according to preliminary
estimates.
Descriptions and project data
are estimates provided by the
state and are based on budget
submissions required by the State
Innovation Models initiative application process.
For more information on the
awards announced today, please

initiatives/State-Innovations.

Iowa Democrats
choice of narrator
The Guthrie Center high
school student council and
national honor society are
doing an event focusing on
all different types of cancers
during the varsity basketball
games on Friday, January 9.
This event is replacing the
“Pink Out” and will be benefiting people affected by all
cancers. There will be a silent
auction and also a cake auction between the girls and boys
basketball games.
Proceeds from all parts of
the event will be donated to
the American Cancer Society.
T
he least-known candidate for chairman of the
Iowa Democratic Party is the best choice. And that
stands to reason. The party must re-acquaint itself
with Iowa’s countryside, the land of the Three Democratic
Giants. Tom Harkin sprang from Cumming, Henry A.
Wallace is from Orient, and Harold Hughes, as his memoir
framed it, was “The Man From Ida Grove.”
The party is in desperate
need of rural relevance, of a
fighting spirit with a smallguy-versus-big money economic message — “The
Democrats are with you
where it matters.”
In a few weeks, the Iowa
Democratic Party’s central
committee faces an author’s
choice for its story going
forward. Who will be their
narrator?
Tim Tracy, the co-chairman of the Carroll County
Democratic Party, is the
right man at the right time
for the state party.
He’s a terrific public
speaker with strong organizational skills and background in many of the
rural reaches of the state,
from Carroll to Ottumwa to
Denison to Harlan to Oskaloosa, where he has, among
other successes, excelled in
advertising and chamber of
commerce and economicdevelopment work.
The future of the Iowa
Democratic Party starts
right now,” Tracy said during a recent speech to the
central committee. “That
future is built on our core
strength, that the Iowa
Democratic Party cares
about and works to better
the lives of all Iowans. We
are on their side. We have
their back. We have the
Deer Veer
Another example of “never
veer for a deer.”
Elizabeth A. Smith of Denison was southbound on Highway 141 at 105th Street when
she swerved to miss a deer. She
lost control of the 2003 Jeep,
entered the ditch, hit an embankment hard which caused
the right front tire to come off
the bead leading to possible
mechanical issues.
Damage was listed by the
Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office at $500 in the 5.39 a.m.
accident. The vehicle was
owned by William A. Smith
of Denison.

late January antlerless deer

A new rule change allows
Iowa residents the option of
using a crossbow during the
late muzzleloader deer season,
in addition to a regular bow,
muzzleloader or handgun as
a method of take.

back of the working families in Iowa, those who are
doing well and those who
aren’t doing so well.”
Why didn’t the party do
better in November?
“From Washington, D.C.,
to Washington, Iowa, frankly, we assumed too much,”
Tracy said. “We took it for
granted that Iowans understood that it was the policies of President Obama,
Democrats in the House
and Senate, and Democrats in our Statehouse, that
brought us back from the
brink of a Republican nearDepression. Every economic indicator is pointing
in the right direction now,
and we assumed people
knew that. And we assumed
wrong. We didn’t hammer
away at that point.”
Tim’s one of the better
opening acts I’ve seen for
Iowa Democratic candidates. He translates what
we know, that the Koch
brothers and dark forces
of greed have hijacked the
system, rigged it for their
ever-rolling profits at the
expense of a disappearing
middle class, into terms
that are not only digestible,
but motivating.
There’s something more.
Tim will stand by unpopular candidates and forcefully advocate for them with
a voice of cloud-clearing
optimism. Ask Jack Hatch
about this. Tim campaigned
with him on the final two
Sunday nights of the 2014
election cycle.
I know Tim well. He’s
worked as an advertising
consultant with our family of newspapers for years.
Each business day, Tim
interacts with small businesspeople from a wide
swath of west-central Iowa,
from Sac County to Adair
County, from Crawford
County to Boone County.
His job: earn the trust
needed to learn what
makes those rural entrepreneurs succeed and help
them craft their message to
customers.
A native of Des Moines
and a Dowling Catholic
High School alum, Tim
knows the capital city well.
But in rural Iowa, where he
has spent the lion’s share
of his adult life, Tim is one
of us.
We live in the era of identity politics. Joni Ernst
earned a U.S. Senate seat
with a brilliant self-portrayal as an all-access Iowan, a
politician with whom many
have an instinctive connection. She projects a churchpotluck friendliness. You
could see yourself buying a
Sloppy Joe or walking taco
from her at the Red Oak
High School booster club
booth. We’ll soon see how
real she is.
The Iowa Democratic
Party would be smart to
consider the rural Iowa
Rotary Club front-door test.
The audience has to accept
the narrator or the Democrats’ story — no matter
how layered with wit and
wisdom — falls on reluctant, or even dismissive
and distrustful ears. Who
connects right away? Who
speaks the language?
For too long now, the
Democrats in Iowa, leading
with a Des Moines-centric
voice, have practiced the
Art of False Familiarity with
rural Iowa.
It’s time for the Iowa
Democratic Party to get to
know Tim Tracy, and in so
doing, rediscover a statewide voice.
Home Fires Top Disaster Threat in Iowa
This year the Iowa Red

ed financial support to 611
households after home fires to
help replace lost belongings
and begin the long road to
recovery. Nationally, the Red
Cross responds to a disaster
in the community every eight
minutes and the vast majority of these are home fires.
“While tornadoes, floods
and hurricanes tend to dominate the headlines, people
often underestimate the
frequency and devastation
caused by home fires, and
that’s where the Red Cross
comes in,” said Leslie Schaffer, Regional Executive for
the Iowa Region. “Our work
doesn’t end after the smoke
clears, every day local volunteers are helping people to
recover and get better prepared.”

Safely Handle FreshCut Christmas Trees
Live, fresh-cut Christmas trees
add life to any home during this
time of year. Live Christmas trees
can last for 3-4 weeks in a home,
depending on the tree species.
Remove the tree from your home
when its needles become dry
and brittle. When you dispose of
your tree, you can place the tree
in your yard or garden for use
by birds and other wildlife. The
branches provide shelter from
strong winds and cold. Food
can also be supplied in the tree.
You can also prune off branches
and place over perennials as a
winter mulch. Chip the tree and
use for mulch around trees or
shrubs. Don’t burn your tree in
a fireplace or wood stove as this
could lead to flue fire.

In 2014, about 18,500 trappers
applied for annual harvesters’
licenses, down from last year’s
peak, which numbered more
than 20,000. Several years of
increases led to last year’s high
number before it increased in
this year, mostly because the
fur market is down, said Vince
Evelsizer, the Department of
Natural Resources’ state furbearer and wetland biologist,
based in Clear Lake.
Sayre doesn’t make traps, but
he does sell them, as well as
other trapping supplies.
Trappers choose between
snares and traps for a variety
of reasons, Sayre said. Traps
are more old-fashioned, while
snares are newer tools. Traps
require more planning; they
have to be set in a good location, covered and baited. Snares
are set in animals’ paths and
catch them as they pass, rather
than attracting them.
Evelsizer added that snares
are cheaper and quicker, and
can be set up in a variety of
places. Steel traps cost more,
but some trappers say they
damage an animals fur less.
The legal fur trapping and
harvesting season opens the
first Saturday in November and
runs until Jan. 31.
Trapping season falls in the
winter because it’s not the animals’ breeding season, and their
fur is in its prime during the
cold weather.
“Trapping is a useful management tool to help keep the
populations in check, especially
the critters that don’t have a
lot of natural predators,” Evelsizer said.
The best example in Iowa,
including in Guthrie County, is
raccoons, he said. When there
are too many of the animals,
they have too much interaction
with each other and disease sets
in, typically distemper.
“Trapping keeps numbers
lower and disease lower,” he
said. “And with the numbers
high, most coons are killed on
the road, which is a waste too,
and something people don’t enjoy doing.”
Evelsizer added that the DNR
has best-management practices
for trappers to use to make sure
the activity is done humanely.
“It’s a really great outdoor
hobby that a lot of trappers
enjoy, because they’re outside, and it’s pretty hard work
to trap,” Evelsizer said. “Quite
a few Iowans enjoy it.”
Sayre said he might have described trapping as a dying art

is packed with photos of the
couple’s grandchildren and
great-grandchildren — there’s
barely room for more, although
they’ll make it if need be. Evidence of both the husband and
the wife are clear in the contrasts — the battered leather
jacket tossed atop a soft blue
afghan.
It’s tough to live apart after
all these years, the couple say.
“I wake up at the night, and
she’s not there,” John said.
How do they make it work?
Love. Trust. Praying together.
A lot of laughter.

years that I’m married to a

a couch near his wife. “She
has to be, to put up with me.”
And Vera burst out laughing.
Just a typical day.
for a while, but he sees more
and more people getting into
it again. And as a grandpa, he
particularly enjoys seeing kids
get involved with trapping.
“Kids are not as active now as
they were in the old days,” he
said. “It’s exciting and rewarding to see young kids out there
trapping and hunting, and not
sitting inside with an Xbox or
texting.”

It was more than 40, Vera replied — and they were wall to
wall. Six bedrooms were filled,
and in the basement, dividers John built, covered with
drapes Vera sewed, created
more makeshift bedrooms.
Marilyn recalls those visits, recalls pulling mattresses
out from under beds to make
sure each family fit into one

In the mornings, they had
sticky cinnamon buns and pecan rolls. So many were needed
that Vera usually made them

Several years ago, long after all the kids were out of the
house, John and Vera moved

other than that, most of his

Thank You! I Had A Whale Of A Time!
I would like to thank all the people that I had the honor of doing
business with the past 37 years. Thanks to those who were able to
attend my retirement party, the many cards, gifts, text’s, and emails.
The many friendships that were formed over the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s,
00’s, 10’s are everlasting. It truly has been a great privilege selling
real estate at Panora/Lake Panorama & surrounding areas. I want
to give a special thanks to Larry Squires who gave me my start in
1977 which in turn led to a 27 year journey of building the strong
foundation that Lake Panorama Realty/Squires Moylan Realty has
today! A special thanks to the Guthrie County State Bank and their
partnership the past 18 years. Thanks Guthrie County Abstract
Company for outstanding service over the years. And of course,
my fellow co-workers—who made it a pleasure to come to work
each and every day…..I will miss you all. Last but not least my
family, especially my wife Deb for having to put up with the hectic &
unpredictable schedule the past 5 decades. Again, thanks from the
bottom of this Irish heart.
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your
back
May the sun warm upon your face
The rains soft upon your fields
And, until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of
his hand

Segebart said. “I wouldn’t rule
anything out at this point.
It all kind of depends on
where the federal government comes in. What if they
throw another 20 cents (gas

and 35 if they’re in that desperate of shape,” Segebart
said.
How does Segebart envision a toll system working?
“Like any toll,” he said. “I
suppose you come in, you go
through a toll both, and when
you cross the river and throw
your coins in a machine.”
Segebart said he would
have to see how the discussion on transportation funding goes in the Legislature
before he would draft a tollroad proposal.
“Certainly that captures all
that traffic from out of state
that has been notoriously
filling up before they get to
Iowa and then driving all the
States. Segebart said “they
do it all over.”
“Iowa’s the only place you
don’t run into that,” Segebart
said.
Segebart said there is a
“strong possibility” that he’ll
suggest tolls on interstates
to his legislative colleagues.
“If nobody’s even mentioning it, somebody should at
least mention it,” Segebart
said.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
Federal Highway Administration, the 46,730-mile Interstate System includes approximately 2,900 miles of
turnpikes.
Federal transportation officials had not returned a call
as of press time seeking more
information on the nation’s
toll system.

Christmas
Joy from

By LEIGAN LAUGHERY
GCHS, sophomore
Four year old Alexis Van Bochove from Hawarden, Iowa
had one wish this Christmas.
Alexis has been fighting
brain cancer since last May.
All she wanted was for people
all around the world to send
her Christmas cards. Her wish
came very true.
Students wanted to do a community service project, so Mrs.
Lange thought this would be a
perfect opportunity. In addition to that, Mrs. Lange grew
up around Hawarden, Iowa so
she wanted to do this as well.
The Guthrie Center High
School and Elementary decided to volunteer with this
act of kindness. With a total
of 426 creative, colorful Christmas cards, they sent them to
the Van Bochove’s. Her family receives hundreds day after
day even from people across
the globe.
Spreading Christmas cheer
is exactly what this little girl
needed.
Dear Santa,
I would like a science kit to
do with the human body
and an ipad or kindle. I
would like the science kit
to include a skeleton, a
heart, a liver, a kidney, all
of the muscles in the body,
the lungs, a sculpture of
the digestive system, an
eye, a nose, a mouth, all
of the organs, and much
more. Thank you, Santa
Claus.
Signed, Kiersten Knobbe
Dear Santa,
I have been good most of
the time. I would like an
orange tractor, a combine,
and a rake. I love you!

HEALTH
FROM Page 1
In the last reporting week, the Iowa
Influenza Surveillance Network indicated 130 influenza-related hospitalizations, mostly among those aged 64
or greater. Several flu outbreaks have
been reported in long-term care facilities, especially in central and west-
School students went down
to the Guthrie Center Elementary to hand out candy canes
and holiday messages. FCCLA

ern Iowa. The most common flu virus
circulating is the influenza A(H3N2)
strain, although four different strains
have been identified. In years when
A(H3N2) viruses dominate, the flu season tends to be more severe with more
hospitalizations and deaths. Based
upon CDC’s national estimates, an
average of 300,000 Iowans get the flu
every year and together, flu and its
complication of pneumonia cause an
average of 1,000 deaths yearly in Iowa.
The flu vaccine is the best defense
against getting influenza; however,
because some of the A(H3N2) viruses
may only be partially covered in the
vaccine, it’s even more important to
take personal actions to help prevent
the spread of illness. Remember the
3Cs: Cover your coughs and sneezes;
Clean your hands frequently; and Contain germs by staying home when ill.
Anti-viral medications are an important second line of defense to treat
the flu in persons at highest risk of
developing more severe illness. Antiviral medications can make flu illness shorter and reduce the risk of
ending up in the hospital or dying
from influenza. Antivirals work best
if started within 48 hours or sooner
of when flu symptoms begin.
The flu is a respiratory illness caused

School students and staff
members are getting ready
for the holidays and Christmas break with their families. They shared some of
their holiday traditions.
Art teacher Kelly Nielsen
said that when she was a
little girl all the little kids
would gather around the
Christmas tree and listen
to the Night Before Christmas and afterwards would
gather around the piano
while grandma played the
piano and everyone would
sing. She said that her husbands family is Danish so
they make oyster stew for
Christmas, and they make
mashed potatoes and put
a peanut in the mash potatoes and whoever got the
peanut gets a prize.
Morgan Vaughan, sophomore, said her mom makes
sugar cookie dough the
night before Christmas
then she bakes the cookies in the morning for family and sprinkles on top.
Lauren Hansen Junior
said her family makes
Aebleskiver, and decorate
cookies, play games, and
hangout.
Karen Vannatta and her
two sons Matthew Vannatta and Sam Vannatta go
to Christmas eve church.
When the boys were little,
when they got home they
sprinkled magic reindeer
food so the reindeer would
see it so Santa would remember to stop by, and
they also had a key so Santa would be able to get inside to put presents underneath the Christmas tree.
Then they have a special
Christmas eve dinner.On
Christmas morning, they
open presents and go to
grandma’s house afterwards
eat and then play games.
by viruses. The flu comes on suddenly and symptoms may include
fever, headache, tiredness, cough,
sore throat, nasal congestion, and
body aches. Illness typically lasts two
to seven days. Influenza may cause
severe illness or even death in people such as the very young or very
old, or those who have underlying
health conditions. (The “stomach bug”
which causes diarrhea and vomiting
is not caused by the influenza virus
but usually by norovirus; thus, the flu
vaccine will not protect you against
this illness.)
Influenza is not a ‘reportable disease’
in Iowa, which means doctors are not
required to notify IDPH each time a
patient tests positive for influenza;
however, IDPH conducts year-round
influenza surveillance through the
Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network.
This surveillance indicates what types
of influenza viruses are circulating and
how widespread influenza illness is.

carroll
The annual Tiger-Knight Invitational was held by the Carroll High and Kuemper Catholic
varsity wrestling teams Saturday,
Dec. 20. Nine teams were in attendance with Guthrie Center
finishing in seventh place with
103.5 team points. The final team
standings are as follows: 1. Pocahontas Area 153, 2. Carroll 141,
3. Greene County 136.5, 4. Bondurant-Farrar 132, 5. Kuemper
114, 6. Denison-Schleswig 106,
7. Guthrie Center 103.5, 8. Manson-Northwest Webster 92.5, 9.
Exira-EHK 74.5.
Guthrie Center had seven
place-winners, including Zach
Fees (6th) at 106 pounds, Logan
Scheuermann (2nd) at 138, Lane
Rumelhart (1st) at 145, Cole Stetzel (6th) at 152, Teddy Daggett
(5th) at 170, Austin Laabs (1st)
at 195 and Cale Crowder (1st)
at 220.
In Crowder’s championship
match, the third-ranked (1-A)
Guthrie Center senior won over
Kuemper’s unranked Seth Gehling by a 4-2 decision. The first
period went scoreless before Gehling earned the first point of
the match by an early escape to
open the second period. Crowder
took a 2-1 lead with a late period takedown and increased his
lead to 4-1 over Gehling with a
reversal to start the third period.
Gehling earned another escape
to cut Crowder’s lead to just two
points, but the Tiger veteran held
on for the win.
Austin Laabs, No. 3 ranked,
ran his record to 19-2 with a 19-2
win over Lane Ring of Elk HornKimballton in the 195-pound
from Denison-Schleswig. Rumelhart and Bondurant’s Caleb
Coleman were set up to be in
