Concern over drainage tile repairs
Evan Hatcher, a second grade student in Mr. Gottos class
at Taft Elementary School in Humboldt, throws the toma-
hawk toward the target during the annual Bucksinners
Rendezvous held at Sheldon Park in Humboldt last week.
By Kent Thompson
The sale of a couple of
public buildings owned by the
county were the main items of
business at Mondays Hum-
boldt County Board of Su-
pervisors meeting, however
county drainage and the video-
taping of weekly board meet-
ings drew most of the discus-
sion.
During the public comment
portion of the meeting, Gilm-
ore City area farmers Bob
Lynch and Gary Naeve both
spoke about the Drainage Dis-
trict No. 2 tile repairs.
Naeve claimed the project
has been mishandled from the
start, and placed most of the
blame at the feet of profes-
sional engineer Rick Hopper
with Jacobson-Westergard
and Associates of Estherville,
the countys engineering rm
for drainage matters, and the
board of supervisors them-
selves.
Lynch said merely that still
no work has been completed in
repairing tile joint seals on his
property.
I just want to make a point
that the longer this is delayed,
the more the crop damage will
be and the higher the expense
to the district, Lynch said.
Mr. Hopper is supposed
to be documenting his actions
and is letting Schany Con-
struction know that time for
repairs is running out and the
county will be looking at an-
other contractor, Humboldt
County Attorney Jon Beaty
reported.
Lynch inquired about the
GPS coordinates for the failed
tile, which are held by Schany.
At last weeks meeting,
Hopper said he had received
half of the GPS locations.
Supervisor Harlan Hansen
reported that there is still ap-
proximately $78,000 due the
contractor, including retain-
age.
Supervisor Jerry Haverly
said the county could seek
reimbursement from the con-
tractors bonding company for
work not performed satisfacto-
rily.
Weve just got a mess.
Ive been saying for years that
we need another engineer on
these drainage projects. Look
at the engineering and lawyer
fees on some of these projects.
Go back to Gary Vinsands. I
spent $50,000 and you spent
$50,000, and none of that
gets reported in the paper, G.
Naeve said.
Eddie Shelgrens project
was screwed up and so was
Mark Daggys. The same way
with the schoolhouse project.
[Drainage District No. 125
was established to help drain
the new Humboldt Middle
School.] There was a 17-inch
tile coming in from the north,
but Rick Hopper said it didnt
have anything to do with
draining that area, so a whole
new system had to be installed
on the south.
On this Drainage District
No. 2, the last two sink wells
(the tiles replacing them) were
four or ve inches deeper than
they needed to be. Well be
lucky if we can nd them. Im
very frustrated with it, Naeve
told the board.
Camera concerns
The board also heard from
Tim Nehring with Video Con-
cepts, the local videography
company that has recorded the
boards weekly meetings for
the past 18 years.
During that time, the city
of Humboldt has picked up the

Dallas Clark demonstrates
Hometown Pride at
Chamber annual meeting
By Kent Thompson
You dont have to be a
star in the National Football
League to give something back
or show your hometown pride.
Its some-
thing you
can do every
day by giv-
ing a favor,
showing you
care or offer-
ing a smile.
That was
the message
from Liver-
more native
and NFL
All-Pro tight
end Dal-
las Clark,
who spoke
last Friday
to members
of the Hum-
boldt/Dakota
City Cham-
ber of Com-
merce at
their annual
meeting. The
luncheon was held at Rustix
Restaurant and Reception in
downtown Humboldt.
Im from Livermore, but
Ive always considered Hum-
boldt home. It was where
wed get groceries or go to
the movies or go bowling. Or
grab some Tootsie Rolls at Jim
Crabtrees store, Clark said.
Dallas learned about the
importance of community and
living in a small town early on
in his life.
My moth-
er passed
away before
I graduated
from high
school, and
the outpour-
ing of love
and support
from the
communi t y
was amaz-
ing, he said.
Through
my life and
travels, Ive
come to
learn that
its all about
communi t y
and people
like your-
selves who
make the
communi t y
good, Clark said.
Dallas is currently shuttling
back and forth between Zions-
ville, IN, a suburb of Indianap-
olis, about 5,000 folks larger
than Humboldt County, and
his hometown of Livermore.
As he contemplates the fu-
ture for himself and his fam-
ily, Dallas says he would like
to nd an acreage somewhere
between Livermore and Hum-
boldt and make his home,
where his roots are the
place where his heart has never
left.
Im a little selsh because
I love the way we re brought
up, running in the woods and
all that stuff. Id like my kids
to have a chance to experience
that.
Clark said having pride in
your hometown is an attitude
that you carry with you. Some-
thing you want to tell others
about.
My teammates dont get
it. When I talk about my home-
town, Im sure it looks boring
to them.
Reggie Wayne (Dallass
former Colts teammate) knows
about Humboldt, Iowa. He
asks me, is that where we go to
get groceries?
That line drew a big laugh
from the Chamber members in
attendance.
Dallas is not nave enough
to believe everything about
small town life will be as idyl-
lic as it was to him as a child.
Everyone is afraid of
change. Thats human na-
ture. But change is not always
bad. Thats a challenge to you
folks, to take change and turn
it into something positive for
yourselves, your businesses
and your community.
Our small towns are not
what they once were. Our
county has changed. I was a
1998 graduate of Twin River
Valley High School and it no
longer exists, but its how we
react to that change and what
we can do to meet the chal-
lenges of today and tomorrow
that determine what we will
become.
Dallas recalled idolizing
his brothers Derrik and Dan
and watching their athletic ac-
complishments growing up.
When I was a kid, I want-
ed to go to Indiana and play
basketball for Bob Knight. I
would practice and shoot bas-
kets in the gym. I remember
Bill Francis, the coach at that
time, telling me to keep work-
ing on my game and maybe
one day I could play for the
Hoosiers.
Well, I never made it to
Indiana as a basketball player,
but I played against them in
college in football, and played
professionally there in the
states capital.
Livermores Dallas Clark was
the featured speaker at the
May 9 Humboldt/Dakota City
Chamber annual meeting.
Clark said hes not sure what
the future holds for him as a
professional football player, but
he has to train to be ready if he
wants to keep playing. Hum-

Administrative and classi-
ed staff contracts were ap-
proved by the Twin Rivers
Community College District
Board of Directors.
During their regular month-
ly meeting on May 8 in Bode,
the board approved a 4.4 per-
cent salary package increase
for the 2014-15 school year.
For a number of years the
staff at TR had to take a pay
cut or pay freeze when nan-
cial times werent as good,
School Superintendent Greg
Darling said. The board
wanted to add a little more to
the contract to help recover
from those lean years.
Final contract numbers are
not available because we are
waiting for the nal health in-
surance numbers to come in,
Darling said. When those
come in, we might be able to
put more onto the salaries.
In other action, the board
set a public hearing for June
12, 5:50 p.m., to discuss the
proposed school start date of
Monday, Aug. 18.
The board hosted a brief
reception to recognize the
2014 scholarship recipients.
The students must be senior
class graduates of Humboldt
High School who continued
their designation with the
Twin Rivers School District.
Each student received $3,500.
The students include Aubreah
McLeland, Katie Struthers and
Samantha Seifried.
Each student mentioned
Humboldt has been a good t
for them, Darling said.
Elementary principal Don
Hasenkamp reported on sev-
eral topics. Hasenkamp said
Skate Night was April 28-30.
He also explained informa-
tion on STEM professional
development and said teachers
would be attending AIW (Au-
thentic Intelligent Works) and
Early Literacy Training this
summer.
Hasenkamp also said stu-
dents visited the Davis Dairy
Farm on May 9 and grades
K-5 students would be visiting
Waters Edge Nature Center
on May 13. The elementary
spring program is set for May
17. He also n oted students
would be visiting the Algona
YMCA on May 15.
Hasenkamp said the Pre-
school Desk Audit met all
standards and is complete. He
also noted Twin Rivers stu-
dents were featured in a recent
Humboldt NOW! Magazine
story.
Darling reported repairs are
planned for the summer on the
lower level bathrooms due to
water damage from a broken

cost of recording and airing
the county supervisors meet-
ings on Channel 12 through
Mediacom. The county meet-
ings are also now available
on Goldeld Access cable TV
outlets within the city.
In February, Humboldt
City Administrator Aaron Bur-
nett said the city would not be
continuing to pay for the re-
cording and airing of the coun-
ty board meetings after July 1.
Video Concepts charges the
city $100 per meeting, or ap-
proximately $400 per month,
based on four meetings.
The county board recently
made inquiries into getting
some costs and information
on having its own system or at
least exploring options.
Nehring said he felt like his
company was being attacked
or pushed out.
I understand that for 20
years, youve been getting
this service for free, and now
you are going to have to pay.
I understand you are looking
at your own system and you
will still have to pay someone
to put it on the Web for you,
Nehring said.
He mentioned that the
microphone and video equip-
ment presently used to record
the meetings belong to Video
Concepts.
We get paid for 30 min-
utes to go home and edit the
tape and put in the titles. It
may take us an hour, it could
take us three hours, Nehring
told the board.
Right now, we are just
gathering information, Super-
visor Carl Mattes said.
Supervisor Rick Pedersen
agreed. Were pursuing ideas
and evaluating what may work
best for the county. The reason
an Algona company was men-
tioned (at a previous meeting)
was because we had visited the
Kossuth County Law Enforce-
ment Center and we were in-
terested in their system, Ped-
ersen said.
Mattes suggested Nehring
submit a bid or proposal to
have Video Concepts continue
to record the meetings, and the
associated cost to the county
for such a service.
One of the options the
county seeks is a portability of
platforms to air the broadcasts,
so it is available to a wider au-
dience throughout the county.
Gary Naeve suggested
the meetings be streamed on
the Internet like the Webster
County Board of Supervisors.
The board responded that
they would like that option
also.
County buildings for sale
The board held a public
hearing for the disposal of pub-
lic propertybids received for
the purchase of the Gilmore
City county maintenance shed
and the south unheated pole
building owned by the county
in the town of Rutland.
The Gilmore City mainte-
nance building sits at 507 SE
4th St. on a lot described as
being 196 feet long by 95 feet
wide. The 60-foot by 28-foot
steel frame building is insu-
lated, has forced air natural gas
heat and is connected to Gilm-
ore City water and sewer. The
back 10 feet of the building is
a small ofce and restroom.
The county also offered the
south building not the main
shop at its headquarters in
Rutland, 307 2nd St. N. The
unheated wood-frame pole
building with sliding doors is
40-foot by 42-foot, on a 50-
foot square lot.
Seven bids were received
for the Gilmore City building.
They were as follows, from
high to low:
Ron Dickey$21,125.50
Richard Benja-
min$18,200
Don Trexel$12,500
Ronald Meier$10,105
Tim Smith$8,642.46
Denzel Weemers$5,700
Paul Kipfer$5,500
Four bids were received for
the Rutland south shop build-
ing. They were as follows from
high to low:
Steve and Tom Grego-
ry$7,600
James and Alecia
Tille$5,610
Jay Bancroft$5,151
Dale Behrens$5,100
Lynch asked the board if
they were certain about vacat-
ing a presence in Gilmore City,
never to return?
You never say never ever,
but thats our plan, Supervisor
Carl Mattes reiterated.
Supervisor Jerry Haverly
then moved to accept the high
bids as submitted by Rob
Dickey and Steve and Tom
Gregory. The board unani-
mously approved.
The new owners are ex-
pected to take possession of
the county buildings on or be-
fore Aug. 15.
In other action the board:
Approved a request for
construction in the county
right of way from MidAmeri-
can Energy Company to install
an underground primary elec-
tric line to a new residence lo-
cated south of Lone Tree Road
and 220th Street.
Approved, upon engineer
Hoppers recommendation, a
project to clean out Drainage
District No. 18, lateral H, lo-
cated in Section 15 of Vernon
Township, northwest of Ren-
wick. The board agreed to hire
Rick Pederson of Humboldt
(not the county supervisor)
to perform the approximately
one-half mile of open ditch
clean out.
Agreed to a repair in
Drainage District No. 103, lo-
cated at the east edge of Bode
and east of Bode. The repair
will be to replace 415 feet of
existing tile with 18-inch rein-
forced concrete tile.
Approved a health insur-
ance renewal contract for the
county with no increase in pre-
miums and an addendum sent
to Wellmark Blue Cross/Blue
Shield.
Approved rescheduling
the May 26 meeting because
of Memorial Day weekend
holiday, and setting the weekly
meeting for Tuesday, May
27, at 8:30 a.m., in the super-
visors meeting room at the
courthouse.
Approved $168,425.47
in bi-monthly claims with no
drainage warrants.

The point is, dont stop
chasing your dreams. Dont hit
cruise control. Lifes too short.
Always be around someone
or something that challenges
you, Clark said.
Regarding hometown
pride, the NFL veteran want-
ed to offer something back to
students in the area. So, seven
years ago, he started the Dal-
las Clark Foundation, a way
for people to offer support
to area students who plan on
furthering their educations, as
well as students who are still
in school.
When I was in school, I
got a booster club scholarship,
but I wasnt in the top ve in
my class (academically), but I
felt that I worked really hard to
study and improve my grades.
Thats what these scholarships
are for. For students who work
really hard, Clark said.
This year, the foundation
will offer eight $3,000 schol-
arships and two $2,000 schol-
arships. The scholarships are
awarded to students in the
greater Humboldt and Kossuth
County area, including CWL
and West Bend-Mallard/Gilm-
ore City-Bradgate.
The big fundraiser for the
foundation is the annual Dallas
Clark Golf Tournament. This
years event will be Saturday,
June 14, at the Spring Valley
Golf Course. One of Dallass
former teammates, Hunter
Smith, a one-time punter for
the Colts, has a great country
band that will be providing en-
tertainment after the golf out-
ing and charity auction.
Another aspect of the
foundation has been promot-
ing recycling among school
students. Dallas has visited
several schools in the area and
talked about the importance of
recycling for our environment
and our livelihood.
Grants through the founda-
tion have awarded $5,000 in
family swimming pool passes
to families in Humboldt and
Kossuth counties, with other
funds going toward the recy-
cling promotion efforts.
Clark said future plans are
to provide community im-
provement grants for parks or
other public areas.
Im excited to talk to kids
about something thats impor-
tant. I think everyones a role
model, but I like to be a person
that a kid can look at and say,
he did it the right way.
Clark encouraged the
Chamber members to take
pride in their craft and their
community, and to show their
love through their actions and
not be complacent.
I see the new subdivisions
going up in Humboldt, and I
think thats great. I challenge
you to look at what we can do
in the future and think three
or four steps ahead of where
things are now.
Im hoping and praying I
can be a part of it with you,
Clark said.

To The Editor:
Why I retired to Iowa.
Last Friday, May 9, my
wife and I were on a day trip
visiting central Iowa winer-
ies and parks when we had a
at tire while in the town of
Rutland. A passing by good
Samaritan helped me locate
two mechanics in town, but
since the at was caused by a
broken valve stem they could
not x it. They did get the tire
off, and the rst man drove
me to Humboldt to get the tire
repaired. None of the three ac-
cepted any money. They only
extended the handshake of
friendship.
New friends like these are
three of the reasons that we re-
tired back to Iowa. This is truly
a great state, and Rutland is a
great town.

By Kent Thompson
While the city of Humboldt
plans to construct a conven-
tional hangar building that
will house one twin-engine
and two or three single-engine
aircraft at the Humboldt Mu-
nicipal Airport in the near fu-
ture, last Thursday was a day
to celebrate much of the work
that has already been accom-
plished at the airport.
Laura Sands, an aide to
U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, was in
Humboldt to recognize part-
nerships forged between the
senator and local communi-
ties.
Part of the In the Footsteps
of History, tour, Harkin and
staff members plan to visit all
ninety-nine counties this sum-
mer and fall. They will visit
local projects that are keeping
Iowa communities healthy and
safe; those aimed at targeting
education; research; economic
development; local agriculture
and conservation; and efforts
to mitigate natural disasters,
like the Iowa oods of 1993
and 2008.
From 2003 to 2012, the
Humboldt Municipal Airport
received $620,769 from the
U.S. Department of Transpor-
tation (DOT) and Federal Avi-
ation Administration (FAA)
for structural improvements,
land acquisition and the con-
struction of a T-hangar build-
ing at the airport. Harkin is a
senior member of the Senate
Appropriations Committee
that provides funds for the
DOT.
The conventional han-
gar project, slated for scal
2014-15, is expected to cost
$446,800, with city funds ac-
counting for $16,600, and the
rest coming from the Federal
Aviation Administration.
Harkin (D-Cumming), who
will be retiring from Congress
after 40 years in ofce this
December, said now is a good
time to thank local partners
who have made a difference in
their communities.
Id like to give an account-
ing of my work with leaders
and residents of Humboldt
County to build a legacy of a
stronger local economy, bet-
ter schools and educational
opportunities, and a healthier,
safer community, Harkin said
in a prepared release.
Between 2001 and 2013,
community leaders have
worked with the federal gov-
ernment to secure more than
$465,000, and have success-
fully acquired nancial assis-
tance from programs provid-
ing more than $62 million to
the local economy.
Of course my favorite
memories of working together
include funding for environ-
mental restoration and the
great work community lead-
ers have done to secure money
from the FAA for the Hum-
boldt Municipal Airport. En-
suring that the airport has the
resources it needs to stay mod-
ern is important to maintaining
safety and efciency. Depend-
able air service is a signicant
factor for growing businesses
as a well as increasing tour-
ism in the area. I look forward
to seeing the improvement of
these improvements that are
important for the airport and
the local economy, Harkin
said.
Harkin highlighted some
of the local accomplishments
during the past decade and be-
yond.
Economic Develop-
mentWeve worked togeth-
er for important economic de-
velopment projects including
improved roads and bridges,
modernized sewer and wa-
ter systems and better hous-
ing for residents of Humboldt
County. Working with mayors,
city council members and lo-
cal economic development
ofcials in Humboldt County,
Ive fought for environmental
restoration projects totaling
$435,000. City leaders have
worked to obtain more than
$620,769 in grants from the
FAA to improve the airport.
School GrantsEvery
child in Iowa deserves to be
educated in a classroom that
is safe, accessible and modern.
Ive worked for funding for the
innovative Iowa Demonstra-
tion Construction Grant pro-
gram, better known as Har-
kin Grants for public schools
Humboldt County benets from federal programs

Start Saving Today for Tomorrows
College Bills
Another school year is drawing to a close. If you have young
children, you might be planning for their summer activities. But
you also might want to look even farther into the future to the
day when your kids say goodbye to their local schools and hello
to their college dormitories. When that day arrives, will you be
nancially prepared to pay for the high costs of higher education?
Consider this: For the 20132014 academic year, the average
cost (tuition, fees, room and board) was $18,391 for an in-state
student at a four-year public college or university, and $40,917 for
a private school, according to the College Board. And these costs
may well be considerably higher by the time your children enter
college.
Of course, these are just the sticker prices; some families
pay less, thanks to grants and tax benets, such as the American
Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit. Still,
you may encounter some hefty college bills down the road.
But college is still a good investment in your childs future. Over
an adults working life, an individual with a bachelors degree can
expect to earn, on average, nearly $1 million more than someone
with only a high school diploma, according to the U.S. Census
Bureau. So youre saving for a good cause.
Unfortunately, you may not be saving enough or you might
not be making the most of your savings. To save for college, more
parents use a general savings account than any other method,
according to Sallie Maes How America Saves for College 2014
study. These types of accounts carry two signicant drawbacks:
They typically earn tiny returns and they offer no tax advantages.
However, you do have some attractive college-funding vehicles
available, one of which is a 529 plan. Your 529 plan earnings
accumulate tax free, provided they are used for qualied higher
education expenses. (529 plan distributions not used for qualied
expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax and a 10%
IRS penalty.) Furthermore, your 529 plan contributions may be
deductible from your state taxes. But 529 plans vary, so be sure to
check with your tax advisor regarding deductibility.
A 529 plan offers other benets, too. For one thing, the lifetime
contribution limits for 529 plans are quite generous; while these
limits vary by state, some plans allow contributions well in excess
of $200,000. And a 529 plan is exible: If your child decides against
college or vocational school, you can transfer the unused funds to
another family member, tax and penalty free.
While a 529 plan is a popular choice for college savings, it is
not the only option available. You also might want to consider a
Coverdell Education Savings Account, which, like a 529 plan, can
generate tax-free earnings if the money is used for higher education
expenses. You can typically only put in a maximum of $2,000 per
year to a Coverdell account, but it does offer more exibility in
investment choices than a 529 plan.
Your children may be young today, but, before you know it,
theyll be packing their bags for college. So, no matter which
college savings vehicles you choose, put them to work soon.

Over the past 15 years, these
grants of more than $132 mil-
lion, have helped school dis-
tricts building and maintain
their schools, in collaboration
with local public and private
dollars. Humboldt County has
received $307,750 in Harkin
Grants and another $20,000
from the Iowa Star Schools for
Technology program.
Agriculture and Rural
DevelopmentBeing from
a small town in rural Iowa,
Ive always tried to be a loyal
friend and erce advocate for
family farmers and rural com-
munities, Harkin said. As a
member of the House or Sen-
ate Agriculture Committee for
40 yearsI have championed
farm policies for Iowans that
include effective farm income
protection and commodity
programs; strong, progressive
conservation assistance for
agricultural producers; renew-
able energy opportunities and
robust economic develop-
ment for our rural communi-
ties, Harkin said. Since 1991,
through programs authorized
by the farm bill, Humboldt
County had received more
than $61 million in loans and
grants.
Keeping Iowa Commu-
nities SafeI rmly believe
that our rst responders need
to be appropriately trained
and equipped to handle local
emergencies and statewide

challenges, such as the meth-
amphetamine epidemic. Since
2001, Humboldt Countys re
departments have received
more than $159,000 for re-
ghter safety and operations
equipment.
Disability RightsGrow-
ing up with a deaf brother,
Tom Harkin saw rsthand the
discrimination and obstacles
he encountered. A goal as a
U.S. congressman was to pass
legislation to provide equal
opportunity, full participation,
independent living and eco-
nomic self-sufciency for citi-
zens with disabilities. Nearly
25 years have passed since
Harkins bill the Americans
with Disabilities Act passed.
Harkin said he is pleased to
see the physical changes to
curb stops and buildings, but
more importantly, the full par-
ticipation in society of people
with disabilities. The changes
have increased economic op-
portunities for all citizens of
Humboldt County, both those
with and without disabilities.
It makes us proud to be a part
of a community and country
that respects the worth and
civil rights of all our citizens,
Harkin said.
Harkin said work has been
empowering others, including
people in Humboldt County
to fulll their own dreams and
initiatives.
This work is never com-
plete. Even after I retire from
the Senate, I have no intention
of retiring from the ght for a
better, fairer, richer Iowa, the
senator said.

A district court judge has
ruled in favor of Humboldt
County in the lawsuit over
the operation of the Reasoner
Dam in Humboldt, but the case
will still be going to trial.
Second Judicial District
Court Judge Gary McMini-
mee sustained a motion for
summary judgment led by
the defendants in the case, the
Humboldt County Board of
Supervisors and the Humboldt
County Conservation Com-
mission.
The judge dismissed a peti-
tion for a writ of mandamus re-
quested by the plaintiffs, Bret
and Debra Harklau of Hum-
boldt.
A writ of mandamus is one
brought that would command
a tribunal, board, corporation
or person to perform or not to
perform an action which the
law states is a duty resulting
from that persons or entitys
ofce, trust or station, ac-
cording to Iowa Code Section
661.1.
One year ago, Bret and Deb
Harklau brought suit against
the county boards alleging
that they had failed in their
duties as public servants with
respect to the operation and
maintenance of the Joe Rea-
soner Dam, also known at the
Humboldt Dam, on the West
Fork of the Des Moines River
in Humboldt.
The Harklaus are repre-
sented by attorney Scott Bu-
chanan of Algona, with the
Buchanan, Biber, Gabor and
Meis law rm.
In the suit, the Harklaus
claim that the actions or in-
action of the county boards
caused the impoundment
above the dam to loose depth
and ll with silt, inhibiting the
recreational purposes of that
area of the river.
In the writ of mandamus,
the plaintiffs sought to com-
pel the defendants to develop
plans and specications for the
restoration and operation of
the components of the Hum-
boldt Dam to re-establish suf-
cient water depth to permit
recreational boating. It also
sought the defendants to estab-
lish such contacts as necessary
to carry out the plans, and to
appropriate such funds as nec-
essary to carry out the plans.
The Humboldt County
Board of Supervisors and the
Humboldt County Conserva-
tion Commission, through its
attorney, Rene Charles Lapi-
erre of the Klass law rm in
Sioux City, led the motion
for summary judgment on the
grounds that there is no statu-
tory or regulatory authority to
do the things the plaintiffs are
requesting.
Built in 1911, the dam in
Humboldt was owned and
operated by the Iowa Public
Service Company until 1966.
It was used for power genera-
tion.
In 1966, the ownership
of the dam in Humboldt and
the Rutland Dam upstream
was transferred to Humboldt
County and the state of Iowa.
According to transcripts of
a July 28, 1966, public hear-
ing on the transfer, the dam
and contiguous properties will
be transferred to Humboldt
County. The headgates, mill-
race and tailgates located in
the power generating structure
and adjoining properties will
be transferred to the state of
Iowa. A water pipe from the
millrace served as the main
water supply for the state
owned and operated Humboldt
sh hatchery.
At the time of the agree-
ment, it was stated that Hum-
boldt County would operate
the Humboldt Dam with the
use of ashboards. The boards
were to be removed during
ood stage and replaced at
low-water times to supply suf-
cient water for boating above
the dam and the sh hatchery
below.
During the hearing before
the Iowa Natural Resources
Council (now known as the
Iowa Department of Natural
Resources), Mason Knight
a member of the Humboldt
County Conservation Board
at the time, said the Rutland
Dam would be operated with-
out ashboards because of
the silting situation above the
dam there, which had already
reached a point that the water
depth was low and not much
good for boating.
The situation is quite dif-
ferent at Humboldt at the pres-
ent time. However, in the fu-
ture it could silt in to where we
cant use it, but we gure we
have several years of good use
above the dam for boating,
Knight said in 1966.

sued by the Iowa Natural Re-
Judge rules in favor of county; trial about dam still on

FOR CONSERVATIVE VALUES

Diane Amundson has so many fun and interesting things to
share; I hardly know where to begin! Diane and her husband
Eric have resided in Humboldt for nearly 25 years. They started
dating at their ve-year high school reunion. Diane is from El-
gin and is a graduate of NITI Secretarial/Business program in
Calmar. Eric is from Clermont and is a graduate of Hawkeye
Tech Aviation program in Waterloo. Diane and Eric moved to
Humboldt in 1990 when Eric started Fort Dodge Flight Support
at the Fort Dodge Regional Airport. He is an aircraft mechanic
and sells aircraft fuel. You can take ying lessons from his busi-
ness.
Diane worked at Dunscombe Dental Clinic, then North Park
Family Dentistry until deciding to stay home when their young-
est child was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 5. For the last
nine years Diane has worked at Bank Iowa as a loan processor.
It was just recently that Diane decided to run for the Humboldt
County Recorder in the June Primary Election.
Diane and Eric are parents of three boys. Scott (27) is an
Aerospace Engineer for General Atomic and lives in Hesperia,
CA. The company makes unmanned aircraft. David (25) is a
Marine currently serving his seventh year of service. He is on
his third deployment now somewhere in the Middle East on the
Mesa Verde, which is a helicopter aircraft carrier. Peder (19)
just nished his freshman year at Iowa State majoring in bio-
chemistry.
Both Diane and Eric are active members of Our Saviours
Lutheran Church. Diane said, Now that their nest is empty, a
favorite outing is to take their little pop-up camper and bicycles
out and explore all the wonderful biking trails Iowa and neigh-
boring states have to offer. They also enjoy cross-country ski-
ing in the winter months. Diane enjoys walking, reading, grow-
ing owers, and sewing.
Those of you who know Diane know that she has made some
fun entries for the Humboldt Encore Art Auctions. She enjoys
the fun and unusual. She found a large door at the Habitat for
Humanity Restore in Fort Dodge and knew it would make a
great center island for her kitchen. Eric cut off the top of their
old upright piano, removed all the innards, and now it truly is
their piano bar. Another favorite kitchen piece is the butcher
block her father cut meat on for over 30 years in his grocery
store.
Diane shares with us some of the recipes out of her fam-
ily cookbook she made for each of her boys and herself. The
cookbook also includes photos of the boys helping to cook. She
stated that even now with their empty nest, she really isnt cut-
ting back on the family size recipes. They just eat leftovers lon-
ger, which leaves more time for the fun stuff!
The Oatmeal bread recipe came from a Bank Iowa customer
and has become a family favorite, especially with Dianes dad,
Harold Halverson, who will turn 98 in June and still lives in
his own home. Eric gave Diane a grain grinder a few years ago
and Diane enjoys experimenting with grinding different wheat
berries. Erics hometown of Clermont used to have a sorghum
plant and Diane has fond memories of going with her dad to get
sorghum for his grocery store. A sorghum plant looks like corn
only without the ears. Juice is extracted from the plant and then
boiled down.

The poppy is the ower that says remember. Remem-
ber the sacrices of our veterans. Share the beautiful me-
morial ower and remember. It is a small thing to wear a
poppy, but the act has a great meaning for the nation. As
long as America remembers the sacrices of her sons and
daughters, there is hope for the future. Hope that one day
there will be no more wars.
That makes Poppy Day important for every American.
When you see a local American Legion Auxiliary vol-
unteer on Poppy Day, Friday, May 23, with a bouquet of
poppies made by a veteran for the support of veterans and
their families, make a freewill donation and wear the ower
with pride. Adams Post No. 119 American Legion Auxiliary
members will be offering the owers in front of the Hum-
boldt Post Ofce, Fareway and Hy-Vee. Veterans served for
you and died for you. Can you forget them?

sources Council on Aug. 4, 1966, granting the permit of opera-
tion, it states that the order is subject to the following condi-
tions.
No material change in the operation or maintenance shall
be made or undertaken unless rst authorized by the Iowa Natu-
ral Resources Council.
The owner shall be responsible for the proper maintenance
and for such safety measures that are necessary for public use of
the facility.
The applicant shall obtain such titles, easements and rights
of way as required.
No legal or nancial responsibility arising from the op-
eration and maintenance shall attach to the state of Iowa or the
Iowa Natural Resources Council due the issuance of this order.
The owner may install and use 18-inch ashboards on the
west dam and 24-inch ashboards on the east dam, or maintain
a height on either crest to a maximum elevation of 99.25 feet.
An operational procedure for use of the ashboards shall
be submitted by the applicant and approved by the Iowa Natural
Resources Council.
The language of the permit to the county for operation of the
Rutland Dam was essentially the same, without the conditions
regarding the ashboards.
Later, Humboldt County elected to repair the Rutland Dam
using oodgates, after many complaints, and a state administra-
tive order was received in 1997.
In a November 2011 report prepared by Recreation Engi-
neering and Planning, a follow-up to a 2009 Reconnaissance
Report issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, it stated
the (Lake Nokomis) impoundment is currently used for a lim-
ited amount of power boating because of siltation. It indicated
the gate assembly includes a wench and a vertical stop gate con-
guration that is rarely moved because of the fear that the gates
may become inoperable.
In an afdavit led with the court, Bret Harklau claims that
when the dam was operated by the power company, the gates
were opened every night to ush silt through the dam. He said
following transfer of the dam to Humboldt County, the gates
were used to release ood water and sediment, and to lower the
depth of the impoundment for maintenance purposes.
For the past 20 years or so, the gates in the dam have been
either only partially operable or dysfunctional completely, and
the county has ceased utilizing them on any systematic basis. It
is my belief that they have not operated to their full depth for at
least 30 years or more, Harklau goes on to state.
The plaintiffs claim that summary judgment could not be
issued because material fact issues about Council Order No. 66-
186 exist, and the scope of the countys duty to fulll that order.
In his decision, McMinimee concluded that there are no is-
sues of material fact and that the defendants are entitled to sum-
mary judgment.
McMinimee goes on to state that while Council Order No.
66-186 permits Humboldt County and the state of Iowa to op-
erate and maintain in accordance with the application, it does
not require the county to operate the dam as it was historically
operated, but rather as it was set forth in the application plans
and specs.
The only evidence regarding the application plans and
specications before this court regarding the Humboldt Dam
is the transcript of the public hearing before the Natural Re-
sources Council. From the statements of Mason Knight at that
hearing, it is apparent that Humboldt County intended to control
the water level of the impoundment with ashboards and had no
intention of operating the dam gates to remove silt.
McMinimee goes on to state that contrary to the plaintiffs
claim, the duties of Humboldt County regarding the Humboldt
Dam are substantially different than its duties regarding the
Rutland Dam, despite the similarity of language in the permits
of operation.
There is nothing before this court suggesting that Hum-
boldt County is not operating the Humboldt Dam, including the
gates, in accordance with the application plans and specica-
tions submitted in support of the Humboldt Dam permit, the
judge ruled.
The cost associated with the ruling will be assessed to the
petitioners.
Despite ruling in favor of the county on the summary judg-
ment motion, a trial on the matter is still planned, with a trial
scheduling conference slated for this week.

Tomatoes are one of the
most popular garden plants
grown over 85 percent of
all gardens include tomatoes!
When selecting tomato plants
at your local greenhouse, there
are several points to consider
for healthy plants.
Larger tomato plants are
available, some with blossoms
and may even have small fruit.
These larger blooming plants
typically do not adapt well to
transplanting, as most of the
plants energy is going towards
making fruit, rather than estab-
lishing a healthy root system.
Choosing smaller tomato
plants may be a better choice,
as they will establish quickly
in the garden and usually sur-
pass larger plants in a short pe-
riod of time.
If available, choose plants
growing in larger, individual
growing compartments, as the
larger cells allow more room
for root growth and do not dry
out as quickly.
Select plants with short,
stocky stems, free of any yel-
lowing leaves.
Foliage should be a rich,
green color, free from mottling
or curling at the edges, which
may be a sign of pests or dis-
ease.
Tomatoes have two main
types of growth habits, de-
terminate and indeterminate.
Determinate tomatoes, or bush
types, grow to a certain point
and typically produce fruit all
at once, during a four to six
week time period.
This heavier production
usually occurs earlier in the
season and is handy for can-
ning or making sauces. Culti-
vars such as Big Boy or Ce-
lebrity, a semi-determinate
plant, are popular choices.
Indeterminate tomatoes,
or vining types, keep growing
and produce fruit all season
great for vegetable burgers
and salads all summer long!
You will need to provide these
hefty plants with support and
they should be pruned to no
more than four main stems.
Better Boy, Big Beef and
Jet Star are good indetermi-
nate tomato choices for Iowa
gardens.
Did you know? Tomatoes
cultivars will differ in amounts
of sugar content, and also may
taste different to different
people - try several varieties
to nd your favorite. Perhaps
try an heirloom cultivar such
as Brandywine or Cherokee
Purple, both are indetermi-
nate plants and very avorful
choices.
For further information
on growing tomatoes or other
gardening questions, con-
tact Yvonne McCormick at
yvonne@iastate.edu.
Buying tomato plants - is bigger better?

The Humboldt County Sher-
iffs Ofce (HCSO) reported one
trafc accident and no arrests in
the county during the past week.
The HCSO received a report
of a car/deer accident on Friday,
May 9, at 3:54 p.m. on U.S. High-
way 169, near the intersection
with Maplewood Drive.
According to the report, a
1997 Nissan Altima driven by
Kurt G. Paeper, 67, Humboldt,
was traveling northbound in the
2500 block of Highway 169, when
a small deer entered the roadway
and struck the car, causing an esti-
mated $1,000 damage to the front
end of the Nissan sedan.

Humboldt won two events and placed third
in the team scoring of the rain-soaked North
Central Conference track and eld champion-
ships held on Monday (May 12).
The Wildcats 4x800-meter relay of
Brittney Nilles, April Jones, Beth Duff-
ield and Maddie Kampen finished first
in 10:08.78. Senior Sam Larson won the
3,000-meters in 10:49.66. Humboldt was also
second in ve other events.
Humboldt nished with 105 team points
to end up behind champion Algona (149) and
runner-up Webster City (111).
I thought overall we had a pretty good
night, HHS head coach Dean Clasen said.
It wasnt one of our better nights. We had
Wildcat girls 3rd in NCC track
our sights set on second but Sophia Luu was
injured and that had an impact on what we
were able to do. We held Caitlyn Wadsley out
because she had a sore calf, so we had to do
some juggling.
Sam Larson won her second conference
3,000-meters title. The 4x800 ran pretty well
to win that event easily. Maddie Kampen
ran a 2:27 split and Brittney Nilles ran a
2:29, Clasen said. We had a bunch of good
performances that ended up second. Maggy
Dufeld was second in the 100-meter hurdles
and that was probably her best performance
of the season at 16.29 seconds.
In the 800-meters, Maddie Kampen was
challenging Tiffany Christensen of Eagle
Grove for the top spot and picked up second.
Brittney Nilles was second in the 400-meter
hurdles. Sam battled Tiffany in the 1,500 and
ended up second but again, ran a pretty good
race, Clasen said. We had other races where
we competed really well.
Beth Dufeld was a little bit ill and wasnt
her full self. Hopefully shes ready to go on
Thursday, Clasen said. Kate Curran was
fth in the 1,500 and dropped her time by
10 seconds from what she did a week earlier
when she ran the rst time. Our JV 4x800
of Olivia Hildreth, Avery Terwilliger, Kate
Curran and Kaylee Sawyer ran a 10:59 and

Humboldt head boys track coach Greg Wickett liked
what he saw from his squad in Mondays North Central
Conference meet held at Hampton.
The Wildcats nished fth in a competitive meet as
senior Jacob Miller won the 3,200-meters in 10:27.88.
Tyler McKibban was second in the discus with a toss
measuring 130-feet one-inch while Kenny Kuyper was
third in the 110-meter high hurdles and the distance med-
ley relay of Jordan Olson, Jordan Edwards, Reed Burres
and Ivan Rasmussen took third in 3:56.57.
Marked improvement
I could not have been happier with how we per-
formed in the meet, Wildcat head coach Greg Wickett
said. It was hands down the best we have looked all
year. It is nice to see that all the work we have done all
year came together at the right time.
Jake Miller winning the 3,200 was a great way to
set the tone for the night. We had a number of races that
came down to a lean at the tape. The shuttle hurdle relay,
the 4x200, 4x100 and 4x800 relays all were extremely
close at the nish, Wickett said.

1-2 at
Waverly
Humboldt went 1-2 in a trio of games
in the Waverly-Shell Rock soccer tour-
nament last Saturday (May 10).
The Wildcats defeated Postville in a
PK shootout after the two teams battled
to a scoreless tie after regulation play.
Humboldt lost to Benton Community
1-0, and to Decorah in another PK
shootout after a 0-0 regulation contest.
The win against Postville got us
into the winners bracket and we came
close to having a very, very good day,
Wildcat coach Joe Hadar said. The
games were only 60 minutes, but our
defense rarely looked like giving up a
goal, conceding just once in the second
match.
Unfortunately, we couldnt nish
our chances and didnt create enough
ourselves, Hadar said.
Our record was 1-2, not great, but
we didnt score a goal and managed to
almost win three games. The goal for us
is to get our offense going this week,
Hadar said.
Jack Curran did a great job in
goal and the solid wall in front of him
consisting of Mike Madsen, Jonah
Haselhuhn, Michael Bowden and Brett
Fishel deserve all the credit for a solid
performance Saturday, Hadar said.
And, I cant blame the forwards either
as they didnt get many chances. We
need to continue to develop our buildup
play against quality opponents. Thats
our key to improving. Stringing passes
together and breaking down defenses.
In the junior varsity portion of the
tournament, the Wildcats lost 1-0 to
Spencer and then 3-1 to Cedar Falls.

ran with the varsity and were
actually third in the overall
combined race. Weve got some
pretty strong half-milers and it
was nice to see the girls perform
the way they did.
Humboldt 2nd at Mason City
Humboldt won four events
and nished second in the Ma-
son City Mohawk Relays on
May 6.
The Wildcats Sam Larson
was a double winner, taking
first in the 3,000-meters in
11:08.03 and also took the
1,500-meters in 5:13.11. Mad-
die Kampen was first in the
800-meters in 2:31.56. HHS
also captured the 4x800 relay
in 10:16. Brittney Nilles, April
Jones, Beth Dufeld and Kam-
pen comprised the winning
relay.
It was good to get back
on the track after losing two
meets last week to the weather,
Wildcat coach Dean Clasen
said. The lost meets were a
mixed blessing as we had some
people who are nursing injuries
and the time off helped them
but we also needed to continue
to compete to help maintain
our racing sharpness. Despite
windy conditions, we had an-
other pretty good outing.
We nished in second place
as a team once again, making
this the fourth time in ve meets
that weve been runners-up.
We have some races that we
can run very well and we have
really good quality depth in the
distance races, Clasen said.
We just lack the two or three
additional varsity-type sprinters
to help us get over the top in the
team race.
We lost Brittney Nilles to
illness after the shuttle hurdle
relay so that impacted the team
score as she was one of the top
two 400 hurdlers in the eld,
Clasen said.
Overall I was very pleased
with the performances of the
girls. I ran Beth Dufeld in the
400 and she came through with
a 1:01 to nish second in that
race, which moves her near the
top of the conference and state
qualifying lists, Clasen said.
She continues to run well in
the 200 where she is also among
the leaders in the conference
and state qualifying.
Sam Larson and McKen-
nan Myott went 1-3 in both the
1,500-meters and 3,000-meters.
It really boosted our team scor-
ing, Clasen said. The 4x800
relay and the distance medley
continue to be strong events
for us. The shuttle hurdle relay
improved their time despite
the windy conditions. They are
getting closer to the 1:10 or
1:11 they need to run to have a
chance to qualify for the state
meet.
Amaris Runia threw a per-
sonal best in the discus with a
101-4 throw and Kelsey Peters
had a break through perfor-
mance as she threw 101-4.5 to
win the JV discus, Clasen said.
Those were two significant
improvements for the both of
them. It was nice to see both
of those girls get over the 100-
foot mark as that makes them
much more competitive moving
forward.
The JV 4x800 of Olivia
Hildreth, Kate Curran, Avery
Terwilliger and Kaylee Sawyer
were again very competitive
running 10:59 and beat several
varsity teams again. Kaylee
ran her first 400 hurdle race
and turned in a very good time
of 1:17, Clasen said. Kate
Curran had a very good overall
night, running a 2:38 800-me-
ters, a 1:07 400-meters and
she ran her rst 1,500-meters
in 5:45 to win the JV race.
Acacia Reimers had a PR in
the shot at 27-2.5 and both
Acacia and Spencer Jensen ran
in the 19-second range for their
100-meter hurdles.
Overall there were a lot of
girls competing pretty well,
which is exactly what we ex-
pect of them at this time of the
season. Well see what we can
do in the state qualifying meet,
Clasen said.
State qualifying meet
Humboldt will run in a Class
3A state qualifying meet on
Thursday, May 15, at Nevada.
The coed meet begins at 4 p.m.
The top two placewinners in
each event advance to state,
along with the next eight best
events across the state in each
event. The state track and eld
championships will be held in
Des Moines May 22-24.
Weve got a number of
events that have a chance to
reach state. Our 4x800 relay
is real solid. If we just run like
weve been running, that should
be pretty good. Its sixth in the
state time-wise for our class,
Clasen said. Sam has a tough
field in the 3,000 and 1,500
where some of the states best
will be on hand. She has the
second-best time in our region
in the 3,000 going in and shes
sixth in the state overall. There
are some really talented people
who will be on hand. Same with
the 1,500-meters. We have a lot
of high-quality distance runners
in the eld.
But the meet will also be a
situation where we dont know
what the individual coaches
will do with some of the better
runners. Boone has Deanna
Slight who runs everything
from the long jump, 200-meter
dash all the way up to 800s and
1,500s. Theyve got some fast
relays. They have a lot of op-
tions with her. That will open
up some spots somewhere and
close some other ones for some
other people, Clasen said.
Well look at what we have
and run what we feel we can do
best and give ourselves the best
chance to compete for that state
slot, Clasen said.
For our younger girls, I
consider these meets to be a
stepping stone to better things
in the future, Clasen said. You
want to have this experience so
hopefully next year you are one
of those people challenging for
a state berth. Well get out there
and compete as hard as we can
in the eld and running events.
We have some capable people
and so well go out and see what
happens.

We came out on top across
the board in these races. That
effort is what it takes in a big
meet like this and I was excited
to see us compete like that,
Wickett said. Tyler McKibban
in the discus and Kenny Kuyper
in the 110-meter high hurdles
were big scorers for us. It was a
real team effort and I am proud
of how the guys responded.
HHS 3rd at Garrigan
Humboldt placed third in the
rain-shortened Sundall Relays
on May 8 in Algona hosted
by Bishop Garrigan. The eld
events were cancelled due to
wet grounds.
Senior Jacob Miller won the
3,200-meters in 10:36.91 to
lead the Wildcats.
Wildcats 4th at Algona
Jacob Mi l l er won t he
3,200-meters to lead the Wild-
cats in their fourth-place team
nish at Algona on May 6.
It was nice to nally be able
to get a track meet in. Losing a
weeks worth of meets due to
poor weather is never good, but
it did give us a chance to train
hard last week, Coach Wickett
said. I think that will help us
in the long run.
We ran pretty hard at Al-
gona. It was great to see Jake
Miller get down to around
that 10:30 mark in the 3,200. I
was also happy with our sprint
times. Despite some strong
winds we were able to get
some good times in the 4x100
and 4x200 relays. Our discus
throwers are coming along
well, Wickett said. We have
three good ones with McKib-
ban, Jensen and Stockale, all
capable of winning the discus
on a given night.
I was also very happy with
some of our younger kids in the
JV section. We looked good in
the JV events and that is nice
to see for the future of the pro-
gram, Wickett said.
Humboldt will run in a state
qualifying meet at Nevada on
Thursday, May 15, starting at
4 p.m. The rst two placewin-
ners in each event and the next
best eight statewide times and
distances will advance to the
state meet in Des Moines May
22-24.

The North Iowa Knights,
the mens semi-pro, full-
contact football team based
in Pomeroy, dropped its rst
game of the season to the
Iowa Sharks on Saturday,
May 3, by an 11-0 count.
The game was only 4-0
into the fourth quarter of play
before the Sharks added a
touchdown to salt the game
away.
Humboldts James Lar-
rabee was a standout on
defense for the Knights. Ac-
cording to team statistics,
Larrabee totaled 22 solo
tackles and two assists from
his defensive line position.
The 6-6, 290-pound lineman
recorded six tackles for losses
of 11 total yards and also
recorded three quarterback
sacks for losses of 14 yards.
He also had one deflected
pass and one block.
He had quite a game, said
offensive lineman and team
publicist James Casey.
Among other local play-
ers on the team, Humboldts
Preston Peterson was the
placekicker and punter for the
Knights. He had one kickoff
going for 52 yards and eight
punts for a total of 338 yards,
an average of 42.2 yards per
punt.
Humboldt running back/
defensive back Blake Bailey
had one solo tackle.
Running back and team
general manager R.J. Higgins
of Badger had six rushes for
17 yards and caught one of
the three completed passes
on the night, for ve yards.
The team opened its home

Smartphones, tablets and
iPods all have one signifcant
thing in commonapps.
Apps, otherwise known as
applications, are all the rage
right now. Companies and
people all over the world are
constantly making new ones
for people to download onto
their devices. They can pro-
vide very much help, such
as GPS apps, but others can
be an utter waste of time,
like Candy Crush Saga.
Since Apple released
their iPhone back in 2007,
apps have gotten more and
more popular. Apple has
their own application store,
called the App Store. All
Apple products with internet
access use this application
store. Android uses their
own store as well, known
as the Play Store. On both
of these devices, there are
thousands of apps available
to download. Some are free,
and others cost money. Most
apps range from $0.99 to
$2.99, but others can cost
much more. BarMax: Cali-
fornia Edition costs $999.99
on the App Store. This app
assists students studying
for the California bar exam,
and $1,000 might not be too
much compared to the text
versions of this app, which
can cost up to four times as
much.
Although the BarMax:
California Edition may
seem pointless to you, at
least it can help students
learn. Many other apps are
downright useless. Virtual
Candle simulates a candle.
Sim Stapler allows you
to press the stapler on the
screen, and it makes a sta-
pling noise. There are so
many pointless apps, its not
even worth going through
all of them..
Since the beginning of
apps for smartphones, there
have been many pointless
apps. They can be a waste
of time, and sometimes
a waste of money. Back
in 2008 there was an app
called I am Rich which
put an animated gemstone
on the screen and alerted
you that you have money
in the bank. As if this app
werent pointless enough,
the company who made it
charged $999.99 for it, the
highest possible price that
you can charge for Apple
apps. The worst part about it
is that eight people paid for
it and downloaded it within
the frst 24 hours oI it being
available according to The
Los Angeles Times.
Apps might seem point-
less to you, and quite frank-
ly most of them are. Some
have no real use to them, but
others can help out in a way
never possible before. But,
just remember that up un-
til the 21st century, people
got along fne without these
apps.
All anyone ever wants
is to be happy, fnd that
hidden key that will
make their life a bright,
sunny, and Disney-prin-
cess-esque place mixed
with puppies and kittens
and fippin` rainbows,
with unicorns prancing
through felds oI smiley
Iace fowers and people
in plain white tunics danc-
ing around in circles with
dreamy smiles on their
faces and everybody gets
along and takes over the
world with hugs and other
happy things. Frankly, this
idea is slightly ridiculous
and scary, but Im a natu-
ral cynic so dont listen
to me. But do! Because I
have some good advice
within the next couple
paragraphs.
Now, some might think
that being happy is just an
emotional ordeal, how-
ever, scientists say oth-
erwise. Being happy is a
mental and physical com-
bination that can be very
easy to achieve, given
the right mindset. Mak-
ing yourself happy can be
quite simple and in some
cases can be achieved via
easy habits that will im-
prove your life both phys-
ically and mentally.
On the mental stand-
point, its often a simple
point of view that can
change your day. Tak-
ing things too seriously
can cause you to stress,
which can cause a bad
mood, which can cause a
bad day, which is a bad
thing. These domino ef-
fect days turn into domino
effect weeks, months and
years, and its up to you
whether its a positive
domino effect or a nega-
tive one. Mentally, you
have the power to decide
how you deal with any
given situation, whether a
big problem or a small is-
sue and that can infnitely
affect your mood. Staying
positive is important, even
when you feel negative or
have a natural predisposi-
tion towards unhappiness.
Raising your activity lev-
el helps happiness exponen-
tially. More activity fghts
morning grogginess, gets
your blood fowing, pumps
up your energy, and is gen-
erally good for your health.
Whats not to love? Getting
more active can consist of
little more than putting that
extra effort in whatever
game is going on in P.E.,
parking at the back of the
parking lot instead of the
front, or speeding up your
walking pace past the typi-
cal turtle speed.
Learning something new
that youre interested in
or even taking joy in what
youre learning in school
can restore your child like
curiosity. Expanding your
mind and learning more,
even if you dont have to
is an easy way to feel ac-
complished and could even
come in handy later on. Who
knows when youre going to
need to know the average
fn length oI a great white
shark or when a quote from
Shakespeares The Mer-
chant of Venice might come
in handy or even save your
life?
Connecting with other
people and letting them into
your life is important as
well. Feeling as though you
have someone to be there for
you who will back you up
and support you is a great
feeling for you and for them.
Friendships are important,
no matter how small they
are. Striking up conversa-
tion with someone you dont
normally interact with can
be the start of a new and
exciting friendship for the
both of you. Plus, you never
know when youre going
to need a second player for
Call of Duty or someone to
braid your hair (Or whatever
girls do when they hang out
usually we end up talking
about books and obscure
TV shows, but Im a nerd so
what do I know?).
ANYWAY, being happy
is within your power to at-
tain. You have the choice to
be happy, so go for it! You
wont regret it.
THE
PP STORE
There is a lot of talk about
what sports are the toughest
to play. What really is the
toughest sport? This is more
of an opinion based question
and in my opinion, baseball
is the toughest sport. Its
played during the hottest
time of the year, there is so
much going on (even though
it may not seem like it), its
90 percent mental and 10
percent physical, and the
list goes on. Mentally, base-
ball is the toughest game to
play and to be the best you
can be, you have to be men-
tally tough. You could have
the best arm, be extremely
fast, and have a great bat,
but those skills wont even
come into play if you cant
keep your cool and be men-
tally tough.
The toughest sport in the
world, and possibly the most
dangerous, is gymnastics.
In gymnastics, there are no
days off and to be very suc-
cessful, you have to start at
a very young age to get the
basics down early. It is a
very demanding sport and
maybe one of the toughest
conditioning sports. You
need to be perfect and at the
top of your game every day.
I know that goes with every
other sport, but in gymnas-
tics, just one sudden finch
or twitch could ruin the
whole thing.
Boxing comes third on
the toughest sports list. It is
a very violent and vicious
sport. Throwing punches
left and right requires a lot
of strength and taking on
punches takes a lot of physi-
cal toughness. Boxing also
takes a lot of hard work,
repetition, will power, and
determination. To be the
best in this sport you have to
be mentally and physically
tough, determined to win,
and be one bad dude.
Swimming is another
sport where you need to be
very determined. Theres a
lot of mental and physical
toughness that comes with
this sport. Being in the best
shape you can be will help
you so much. To be success-
ful, there is no half speed.
Its 100 percent the whole
time. Just one tenth of a sec-
ond delay changes the whole
output of the race. If you are
not successful then there
isnt anyone else to blame
but yourself.
Baseball, gymnastics,
boxing, and swimming are
four of the toughest sports
because there are so many
things to do that will prepare
you for success in them.
Starting at a young age in
these sports will help drasti-
cally. All of these sports and
many others require men-
tal and physical toughness.
There are no days off, and it
takes a lot of hard work and
determination to become the
best you truly can be.
These strange sounds
heard around the world since
2011: are they a sign of an
apocalypse? Some people
think that these sounds
could be Irom scientifc re-
search or the approaching of
an alien invasion. Research-
ers and scientists have not
been able to confrm where
these strange sounds are
coming from, but one other
possibility is that this sound
is coming from ocean waves
over continental shelves
which produce vibrations.
This strange sound was
heard in New Jersey in the
towns of Galloway, Frank-
lin, and Wild Crest. The
scientists who recorded it
described it as a shaking
hum. Scientists say that
because these towns are 100
miles away from the coast
line, that would explain
why there is seismic activ-
ity. There are many videos
of these strange sounds all
across the world.
Some people say these
videos are hoaxes, but there
are so many being recorded
around the world, its hard to
know if these videos are real
or just a recording of a simi-
lar sound. The frst sound
was heard in June in Terrace
by a girl named Kimberly
Wookey. The sound was
described as a melody. The
second time it was heard, the
lady in Terrace ran and got
her camera. She recorded
this strange sound for ten
minutes.
Some people believe that
these sounds are to be su-
pernatural origin and these
people ignore the evidence
and data which shows this
being a possibility of super-
natural origin. The mind has
a tendency to believe what
it wants and supernaturals,
ghosts, and other things sim-
ilar to these mysterious crea-
tures. Our minds want us to
believe things that we cant
actually make connections
with, things like ghosts and
other supernatural beings.
These strange sounds
have been heard all over the
world in the last few years
and since then there have
been more and more people
posting videos of this sound.
There are many different
opinions on what this sound
is and where its coming
from. It is hard to believe
that it could be from aliens
but its more believable to
be from ocean waves over
continental shelves. What-
ever this sound is it has been
heard all over the world and
it is making more people
concerned.

Amazon Fire TV has re-
cently made its way to the
market. It is very similar
to Apple TV in that it is a
media player device that
hooks up to any HDTV and
streams many different apps
using the internet. Amazon
Fire TV has similar apps as
Apple TV does, but iTunes
is not one that is available.
Although, it has apps that
easily replace iTunes like
Pandora and YouTube. In
addition to these apps, there
are the basic Netfix, Hulu,
and Amazon Instant Video
as well. Games can be pur-
chased for this device too.
For instance, Minecraft-
Pocket Edition and The
Game of Life are some
games available for users to
purchase.
For Amazon Prime
members who receive
free streaming on a select
amount of television shows
and movies, there is Ama-
zon Prime Instant Video
available. This is an app
version of the instant video
that is offered on Amazon.
com. Also, for people who
love to watch movies, there
is a Showtime app available.
Like Apple TV, Amazon
Fire TV also has a low-cost
movie rental option for new
releases.
One thing that sets Ama-
zons product apart from
Apples is the voice search
feature. According to Ama-
zon.com, Amazon Fire
TVs remote has a built-in
microphone so you can in-
stantly search TV shows,
movies, actors, directors,
and genres using just your
voiceno more typing with
your remote to fnd what you
want. This is good because
it helps save an individuals
time and patience. There
is also an option in which
a family has an ability to
create profles Ior each per-
son, so the parents` profles
would be separate from the
children`s profles.
Apple TV has a feature
where a user can AirPlay
content from any other Ap-
ple product up to their televi-
sion. Amazon has developed
the same sort of feature, but
using the Kindle Fire HDX.
Amazon users must have
a Kindle Fire HDX, which
costs $229 with the least
amount of features(storage
size, offer type, and con-
nectivity). This option is
perhaps better for Apple us-
ers due to the large majority
of products they can use to
AirPlay.
Amazon allows viewers
to watch with the luxury of
1080p HD. In order to be
able to use Amazon Fire TV,
one must frst have HDTV,
and HDMI cable, high-speed
internet, and according to
Amazon.com an(optional)
big bowl of popcorn. Like
Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV
costs $99. It is likely that
Amazons product will do
well. Amazon Fire TV is
easy to set up and is a great
option for individuals who
want to get more out of their
television.
