A total of seven cygnet Trumpeter Swans hatched
over the weekend at the Highway 169 pond in Hum-
boldt. They are part of a program coordinated by the
Iowa Department of Natural Resources to bring back
the Trumpeter Swan to Iowa. Just 46 wild pair of Trum-
peter Swans nested in Iowa last year.
On April 8 of this year the DNR relocated ve Trum-
peter Swans from the Humboldt location, three to
southern Iowa and two to Palo Alto County. It was a

Renwick Donkey Daze
County approves new video system
By Kent Thompson
After 16 years of having
their meetings videotaped and
aired on local cable television,
the Humboldt County Board
of Supervisors agreed Monday
to purchase their own record-
ing equipment.
The board had three choic-
es in regard to future record-
ings.
The board could continue
with Video Concepts of Hum-
boldt, the company that has
been recording and making
available for broadcast the
countys meetings in the past.
The company has charged
the city of Humboldt approxi-
mately $400 per month to re-
cord and air the supervisors
meetings.
In a budget cutting move,
the Humboldt City Coun-
cil decided last winter that it
would no longer pay for the
charges for the county supervi-
sor meetings after July 1, and
informed the board of supervi-
sors of such.
Video Concepts offered to
continue to record the meet-
ings at a charge of $40 per
hour, along with a half-hour
editing time. Any additional
editing would be billed at $75
per hour. With setting up for
Skype or video conferencing
for an additional hourly rate.
The board received a par-
tial quote for equipment for
Next Generation Technology
of Buffalo Center. The com-
pany quoted the board a price
of $1,350 for a microprocessor
personal computer, $189 for a
camera and $340 for a remote
microphone, but failed to pro-
vide the board with further
details and costs regarding set-
up, installation and additional
equipment.
The board elected to go
with a quote from Electronic
Specialties of Algona, for its
own video/audio system.
The equipment will include
a surface-mount indoor-out-
door, vandal-resistant camera
with a 1080 progressive scan/2
megapixel high resolution ca-
pability for more than $1,600.
The equipment will also in-
clude an HDMI monitor, and
Audio Technica microphone,
pre-amp power source and as-
sociated cabling, modular plug
and switch. With labor and
drive-time and mileage charge
for install, the total cost for the
county will be $3,672.35.
The recording can be up-
loaded to our Web site (www.
humboldtcountyia.org) the
same day without a lot of extra
work, board secretary Peggy
Rice reported.
The board was also in-
terested in the new system
because it would allow for
the additional cameras in the
courthouse for security moni-
toring, something the board
has been looking to upgrade.

Much of Mondays meet-
ing concerned county drain-

Incumbents secured wins
for the Humboldt County
Board of Supervisors seats on
Tuesday, while Diane Amund-
son outanked a strong le
of Republican challengers for
the right to run for Humboldt
County Recorder this fall.
Countywide, of the 6,921
registered voters, 1,256 or
18.14 percent cast ballots in
Tuesdays primary.
All of the contested races
came on the Republic side,
with a battle for two of three
supervisor districts, a six-per-
son battle for county recorder
and a ve-person race for U.S.
Senator.
For Supervisor District
1, incumbent Harlan Hansen
topped the three-person eld
with 107 votes, compared to
80 votes for Brian Ernst and
45 votes for Dean Potratz, the
two challengers.
For Supervisor District
3, incumbent Rick Pedersen
topped challenger Kevin Cla-
baugh 134-76.
District 2 Supervisor Carl
Mattes ran unopposed and re-
ceived 206 of the 212 votes
cast.
No Democrats sought the
ofce of county supervisor.
Amundson marched to a
clear-cut victory in the Repub-
lican county recorder race. The
seat is being vacated by Linda
Fort, who is retiring after 19
years as recorder and 40 years
working in the recorders of-
ce.
Amundson collected 585
votes, or 52.5 percent. She was
followed by Melissa Vaudt
with 194, Katherine Kathy
Erickson with 154, Kathy
Christianson with 151, Heath-
er Wilson with 20 and Terri
Bryant Stufebean with eight.
Humboldt County Trea-
surer Jana Bratland and Hum-
boldt County Attorney Jon
Beaty both ran unopposed and
were selected in the primary.
In the U.S. Senate Race,
Red Oak State Senator Joni
Ernst polled nearly identical
numbers as she did statewide
in winning the Republican Pri-
mary. She collected 605 votes
in Humboldt County, almost
56 percent of the votes cast.
Ernst collected 56.2 percent
statewide with 88,692 votes.
Sam Clovis with 193 votes,
Mark Jacobs 191, Matt Whita-
ker 74 and Scott Schaben 14,
were the other Republican to-
tals in Humboldt County.
U.S. Rep. Steve King ran
unopposed and received 907
votes.
In a bit of a surprise, Re-
publican challenger for Gov-
ernor, Tom Hoeing, took 21
percent of the vote in Hum-
boldt County over incumbent
Terry Branstad. Branstad won
with 841 votes to 228 for
Hoeing. Statewide, Brans-
tad received 83 percent of the
vote to nearly 17 percent of
Hoeing. Hoeing is from
Lohrville in nearby Calhoun
County. Branstad is seeking a
record sixth term as the states
political leader.
There were no contested
races on the Democratic bal-
lot in Humboldt County. Lone
county candidate, Glenda Col-
well, for Humboldt County
Recorder, ran unopposed and
received 82 of the 97 ballots
cast, with 15 write-ins.
Bruce Braley for U.S.
Senate, Jim Mowrer for U.S.
Rep. District 4, Daryl Beall
for State Senate District 5 and
Jack Hatch for governor were
all selected by the local Demo-
crats in the primary vote.

Promoter Dwight Lindquist of Fort Dodge decided to
combine a couple of things he knows something about: be-
ing a veteran and promoting concerts, to develop a free Vet-
erans Appreciation ConcertHeres to the Heroes, right
here in Humboldt.
The concert event will be at Joe Sheldon Park west of
Humboldt, on Saturday, June 28, with gates opening at
4:30 p.m., and the opening ceremonies to begin promptly
at 5:30 p.m.
The concert will feature a short opening ceremony to
honor all veterans conducted by Retired Army Brigadier
General Gary Eischeid.
That will be followed a performance by the Iowa Army
National Guards 34th Army Band, The Brass 5.
We were very fortunate to get them for this show.
They are headquartered out of Faireld and will be doing
a concert in Cedar Rapids earlier in the day. Immediately
after our show, they will be packing their gear and ying to
Kosovo, to entertain our troops stationed there, Lindquist
said.
He said the Brass 5 will perform between 5:45-6:30
p.m.
That will be followed by the opening act, Ken Kugel
and the Mudpuppies. Headquartered in the Iowa Falls area,
the group is a regular act at The Rails in Eagle Grove and
503 in Iowa Falls. The group performs at many town cel-
ebrations in north central Iowa and has performed with acts
such as Lovin Spoonful, Head East and Black Oak Arkan-
sas. The band has also served as the house band at the Surf
Ballroom in Clear Lake for the British Buddy Holly Soci-
ety Luncheon.
The three-member band plays an eclectic mix of clas-
sic rock, modern hits, blues and country. Their cover list
includes everything from Elvis to Van Morrison, to Muddy
Waters, Merle Haggard, Green Day and Lady Gaga. The
group also has a few of its own songs.
Kugel is a Navy veteran, who was stationed in Italy dur-

For Marlene Thompson,
cancer has affected her family
in many, many ways and now
it has affected her. Breast can-
cer was discovered at a regular
mammogram this past Decem-
ber.
The news that you have
cancer is the result you never
want to hear. I never thought as
an insurance
agent that I
would have
to say that
now Im un-
insurable. I
have always
told pros-
pects that it
only takes
one day to
change your
health. It
couldnt be
scarier, but
then it was
okay, I knew with prayers
and support from family and
friends that I could deal with
this. This, which I got to know,
was true as I had lots of groups
praying for me, lots of help
from friends, family and cli-
ents and wonderful support
from the doctors, nurses, ra-
diation techs and receptionists,
which I will be forever grateful
to you all.
Marlene had a choice to
makewhether to have a
mastectomy or a lumpectomy.
She did some research and
found a lumpectomy was just
as successful, so in January of
this year she had surgery. Af-
ter surgery, it was determined
chemotherapy would not be
effective on her type of can-
cer tumor. Instead she went
through a regiment of radia-
tion treatments at the new can-
cer center in Fort Dodge.
Marlene continues to take a
daily pill, which is designed to

Preparations are complete
for the ninth annual Arts Fes-
tival this Saturday, June 14,
from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at John
Brown Park in Humboldt.
Jenny Boswell, HAAC
president and chairman for the
childrens art, has been col-
lecting, sorting, preparing, and
organizing supplies all year.
We planned projects for
children to explore different
art mediums, explains Jenny,
that they would be able to
expand in larger scale at home
such as weaving a bookmark,
grass art boxes, music-themed
rain-makers, and art boxes
which include writing paper,
drawing paper, pencil, and
crayons.
There will be a budding
artist table for the youngest
participants, along with face
painting, clay sculpting, paint-
ing, wood sculpting, and jew-
elry making.
Dabbling in the arts is not
just for kids, adults are also
encouraged to pick up a paint
brush and join in a community
painting of an art deco ren-
dering of the Sumner Avenue
Bridge.
A nostalgic image of the
Sumner Avenue Bridge pho-
tographed by Maureen Powers
will be available for purchase
during the festival. Maureen
has been an artisan at the festi-
val for the past four years and
has several Humboldt images
to choose from.
New to the festival this year
are Bettina Perkins, a water-
color artist from Anthon and
LeRoy Husske, a realist oil
painter from Fort Dodge. Le-

ing his tour of duty.
The Mudpuppies will en-
tertain the audience with a
two-hour set of music.
That will be followed by an
introduction and recognition
of all of the sponsors for the
event and a T-shirt giveaway.
Several years ago at some
of the concerts I promoted I
decided to give away T-shirts. I
have collected T-shirts from all
the branches of service: Army,
Navy, Marines, Coast Guard,
Air Force and National Guard,
and well be throwing quite a
few out to the crowd during in-
termission, Lindquist said.
The headliner for the
evening will be Ricky Lynn
Gregg. Known for his edgy
brand of country and rangy
voice, Gregg was named Bill-
board Magazines No. 4 Top
New Artist in 1993, for his
self-titled debut album on Lib-
erty Records. He followed that
with Get A Little Closer, in
1994, and Careful What You
Wish For, on the RMG label
in 2001.
His singles include If I
had a Cheatin Heart, Can
You Feel It, and Careful
What You Wish For.
Gregg was also a mem-
ber of the Midwest rock band
Head East for three years, add-
ing his writing and producing
credits to the album Choice
of Weapons in 1988.
Gregg has toured with
and sang duets with the late
country music legend George
Jones.
He is sandwiching in his
Humboldt appearance between
a string of dates in Mississippi
and Texas this summer.
Gregg is expected to take
the stage at 9:20, and will play
for around 90 minutes.
Lindquist said he his ex-
cited about the event and the
venue.
We have been promoting
the concert and have 30 spon-
sors, 12 from Humboldt, 12
from Fort Dodge and six from
other areas around the state.
He said his reason for host-
ing the concert is pretty sim-
ple, to give something back to
those who protect us.
What inspired me is that
there were some concerts to
honor vets, but they werent
very close by. Lincoln, NE,
had one, and Fort Madison had
one, and Camp Dodge hosted
one with only military bands.
I thought, why cant we have
one here?
After exploring Fort
Dodge, Lindquist decided on
Humboldt.
I talked to Todd Lee with
the Humboldt County Conser-
vation, and he was receptive to
the idea, Lindquist said.
Lindquist has been work-
ing on the concert since Febru-
ary 2013.
The reason its free, is be-
cause I dont think you should
charge a veteran to get into a
veterans event, Lindquist,
a 22-year veteran of the U.S.
Navy, said.
He said the event is open to
all ages and families are wel-
come. Parking will be located
in Lower Sheldon Park, south
of the bandstand. Golf carts
will be available to transport
DAV and handicapped citizens
to the concert area.
Concertgoers are encour-
aged to bring lawn chairs and
blankets. There will be abso-
lutely no coolers or containers
allowed beyond the front gate.
Don Thul of Thuls West River
Meats in Rutland will be pro-
viding some of his avorful
Iowa-raised meat.
The Dakota City VFW Post
will be operating a beer garden
on the grounds. Persons must
be 21 or older to purchase al-
cohol at the event.
I really enjoyed coming
to Joe Sheldon Park when
ABATE was here. Its a great
location and a great place for
a concert. I hope everyone
comes out and has a good time
in supporting our veterans and
enjoying some good music,
Lindquist said.

Theres space for up to 30
vendors at the 2014 Humboldt
County Fair.
This year, vendors will open
on Friday night of the fair
(July 25) and be open Friday
night, Saturday and Sunday
(July 25-27).
Laurie Beilke, a former
4-Her, 4-H leader and a vendor
for many years has taken over
coordinating the vendors at the
fair this year.
That is the highest trafc
volume times and hopefully
those new times accommodate
more people willing to exhibit
since they wont have to take
vacation time to be a vendor,
Beilke said.
The vendors set up in the air
conditioned Humboldt County
Events Center (just north of
the food court). The deadline
for signing up to be vendor is
July 6.
Those interested can contact
Beilke to sign up or for rate
information by email at llbeil-
ke@gmail.com, or at info@
humboldtcountyfair.com, or
check out the Humboldt Coun-
ty Fair Facebook page.
We also want to have lots
of variety to attract even more
people in to see the vendors,
Beilke said.
Last year, the Humboldt
County Historical Society of-
fered ice cream sandwiches
and offered chances for a
quilt. The Methodist Church
had craft activities for kids.
The Revue had furniture on
display. Beilke, a Pampered
Chef consultant and her team ,
has had a display of Pampered
Chef items in the past.
Were excited about the
changes to help the vendors
and give people more oppor-
tunities and more selection,
Beilke said.
Beilke encourages people
to not only visit the vendors,
but also to make sure they see
the various 4-H projects of the
youth.
To me, the whole reason
we have a fair is for the kids
and their projects. Kids work
hard all year round. We need
to go and check out their proj-
ects. We need to check out the
entire fairgrounds. The Fair
Board works very hard and
spends a lot of time and effort
making sure the fairgrounds
are ready. Weve got a great
fair, Beilke said.
The 2014 Humboldt County
Fair is July 22-28.
Deadline to sign up as Fair Vendor is July 6
The Dakota City Council
met in special session Wednes-
day, May 28, for action on two
items.
The council approved an
amendment to the 2013-14
budget that will include an ad-
ditional $940,000 in revenue
and $1,110,000 more in ex-
penditures. The majority of the
revenues and expenditures are
for the Dakota Heights Addi-
tion infrastructure project that
is going on this summer. There
was also an additional $30,000
allocated for community and
economic development.
The amendment will reduce
the citys ending fund balance
by an estimated $147,847,
leaving the city with a fund
balance at the end of this cur-
rent scal year (the end of this
month) of $779,457.
The council also discussed
the purchase of a submersible
water pump from Cahoy Well
and Pump Service of Sumner
for an estimated $12,000. The
pump is needed to operate the
citys backup water well.
The DC Council met in
regular session this week.

ties in and around the Forest
Estates Mobile Home Park on
the citys west side.
In addition to the Forest Es-
tates area, the Blackbird First
and Second Additions, the
Wildwood Addition and por-
tions of the new Eagle Ridge
Addition were part of the
drainage assessment.
The purpose of Mondays
meeting was to have a reclassi-
cation hearing on the Drain-
age District known as No. 59.
Drainage engineer Rick
Hopper with Jacobson-Wester-
gard and Associates of Esther-
ville, reported that there was
just short of 400 acres in the
district.
And while $143,000 of
the $190,000 total project as-
sessment was for residential
properties and city streets, the
few farmers that are subject to
the assessments, who attended
Mondays meeting, did not
feel the charges were fair.
Tom Gillis, owner of Gil-
lis Farm Inc., said this is the
third time within the past half
dozen years hes been hit with
large drainage assessments. In
addition to Drainage District
No. 59, part of this ground
fell in the DD 16 and 55 im-
provement ve years ago, and
he also had land in the newly
established DD 126.
I own 160 acres south
of the housing development.
There is 18-inch tile there
that is more than adequate to
drain my farm. Then they put
in a housing development in
a ood plain, and then charge
me to drain the water. This as-
sessment ($30,000) is the third
in ve years, totaling $100,000
on my property. Its totally un-
acceptable, Gillis said.
One person can le
a claim but it takes a super
majority to get it overturned.
I dont see why this is in a
drainage district and not in a
municipal storm water system,
handled and paid for by the
city, Gillis stated.
Members of the board and
Hopper explained that county
drainage and the establishment
of drainage districts is a awed
early 20th century agrarian
system that was established
when several town residential
areas were all rural.
The drainage district ben-
et commissioners are two
farmers, who along with Hop-
per, use a complex formula to
assess points of value to drain-
age improvements.
We are trying to make de-
cisions that are good and fair
as can be given the current
conditions, Hopper said.
We are replacing that 18-
inch tile with a 36-inch main,
so all of the ag land that sys-
tem is going through is going
to see an improvement. We are
replacing 100-year-old tile,
Supervisor Rick Pedersen
said.
But residential property
owners were not pleased with
the process either.
Paul Lynch, who owns the
Forest Estates Mobile Home
Park, and has for 22 years, said
the trailer court area has had
some standing surface water
after heavy rains in low-lying
areas, but ooding had not
been a problem.
Our tile runs north of the
trailer court to the intakes and
has nothing to do with the
drainage work that was done
here. Ive seen ooded ground
and people out in row boats on
that side of the road, Lynch
said, referring to properties
south of Wildcat Road.
Lynchs assessment was
under $2,000.
When asked about the citys
responsibility, it was agreed
that larger cities with urban
planning have storm sewer
districts, rather than drainage
districts. The citys bill for this
project will be $11,200.
The county also received
three written objections to the
reclassication assessments.
Including one from Renee
Neddemeyer, who said she
paid $3,940 in 2011 (assess-
ment from work in another dis-
trict) and is now being billed
$7,000. It didnt improve the
drainage on my farm and this
wont either. The engineer is
not a certied land appraiser.
This reclassication is not jus-
tied, Neddemeyer said in her
letter.
Hopper said the recourse
for property owners who feel
their lands have been unfairly
classied and assessed is to
le an objection in district
court, and to have the matter
heard by a judge.
The board then approved
the reclassication and associ-
ated assessments for benets.
In other drainage matters
the board began a drainage
reclassication hearing for
Drainage District No. 7. The
large 8,342-acre district north
and northwest of Rutland had
a ditch clean out completed
several months ago, amount-
ing to $200,000. Hopper said
the average price per acre is
$24.
Property owner Karen
Jensen asked about a parcel
of ground within the district.
Hopper said he would need to
check out the property in ques-
tion.
The board agreed to con-
tinue the hearing to June 16, at
9 a.m.
The board also oversaw a
completion hearing on Drain-
age District No. 33, branch
A, located northwest of Hum-
boldt.
Hjelmeland Excavating of
Algona completed the nal ex-
cavation work and installation
of 1,300 foot of pipe.
Ron Thompson mentioned
some washing from the origi-
nal project. He was told to
monitor the situation and reex-
amine it after the crop is taken
out.
The board approved the
work and agreed to a $3,290.60
payment to Hjelmeland Ex-
cavating and an $8,600 crop
damage payment to Thompson
for 8.6 acres.
The board also approved
Pat Hill and Brent Kuehnast
as drainage district commis-
sioners for work in Drainage
District No. 114.
The saga over the Lanes
Timber Bridge on 260th Street
continues.
Humboldt County Engi-
neer Paul Jacobson reported
to the board on costs for the
purchase of multi-plate steel
pipe and installation. It would
be more than $115,000. The
board is still looking at cut up
railcars for the crossing.
The board received three
bids for the re-roong of the
Dakota City Shop roof.
The roof has been in place
since the late 1970s, and sus-
tained storm damage last year.
Bids received were $37,121
from Hauck Post-Frame
Builders, $29,250 from Dick-
ey Construction and $25,903
from Gronbach Construction
of Dakota City. The board
approved going with Gron-
bachs. Jacobson said insur-
ance should cover nearly the
entire cost of the replacement
and installation.
In other action the board:
Approved 2014 striping
from Vogel Trafc Services
in an amount of $30,485. The
work includes center line and
edge striping. Jacobson re-
ported that the county tries
to do about one-third of the
county pavements annually, on
a three-year rotation.
Approved a progress pay-
ment to Weidemann Inc. of
Dows for construction and
installation of a 6-foot square
box culvert north of Bradgate.
The payment was for
$43,315.35, about 64 percent
of the total project cost. The
board also approved a $1,000
change order to remove buried
abutment.
Approved an amendment
to the permit for dust control to
Pro Cooperative for treatment
at 1274 230th St.
Approved the sale of recy-
cled asphalt to Manatts Inc.,
of Brooklyn, for $13 per ton.
Jacobson said the county has
just shy of 8,000 tons of the
material for a total lump sum
payment of $103,363.
Approved the hiring of
Kenzie Shelgren as a part-
time jailer at an hourly rate of
$12.63, retroactive to June 2.
Approved general claims
of $304,353.94 and drainage
claims of $31,857.38.

To The Editor:
The Bode Library wishes
to thank the Humboldt County
Community Foundation for
the grant that we received.
It was used for the purchase
of two new computers for our
library patrons.
The Bode Library has been
given a book about a well-
known man and his wife that
operated the Imperial Cafe
here in town for many years.
Marvin and Verna Kropf
and their three daughters were
all a part of this very success-
To The Editor:
Well, when I got home the
other day, after I had placed
the rst letter to the editor, I
found one of those stray cats
in my garage with a surprise.
I now have seven cats in my
garage (6 kittens).
Now I am responsible for
seven cats that I never wanted.
We called the vets in town and
there is no room for any cats.
The shelters are also full.
So what are we to do? The
kittens are going to be old
enough to leave their mother
pretty soon and then we will
have six (6) new strays in the
neighborhood.
Also, whomever had this
mother cat rst had her de-
clawed!
So, she is out in the world
declawed and unable to protect
herself or hunt for food, but
she is still able to have more
kittens.

Watch for Different Risk Levels of
Muni Bonds
Are you thinking of investing in municipal bonds? If so, you may
have good reason, particularly if you are in one of the higher tax
brackets. After all, municipal bond interest payments typically are
exempt from federal income taxes, and possibly state and local in-
come taxes, too although some munis are subject to the alterna-
tive minimum tax. However, since not all municipal bonds are the
same, youll want to know the differences especially in terms of
risk.
Municipal bonds, like corporate bonds, essentially face two types
of risk: interest rate risk and default risk. Interest rate risk becomes
clear when market interest rates rise, causing the value of your exist-
ing municipal bonds to fall. No one will pay you full price for your
bonds when newly issued bonds carry a higher rate so if you plan
on selling bonds before they mature, you risk losing principal. You
can largely ignore this type of risk simply by holding your bonds
until maturity, at which point you will receive the face value back,
provided the issuer doesnt default.
And that brings us to the second type of risk: default risk. Histori-
cally, municipal bond default rates have been much lower than those
of corporate bonds, particularly lower-quality bonds. But different
types of municipal bonds carry different levels of default risk. Heres
a quick look at the two main categories of municipals and their risk
characteristics:
General obligation bonds General obligation bonds generally
nance projects of a municipality. A general obligation bond issuer
is required to do everything in its power, including raising new taxes,
to ensure that interest payments are paid on time and in full. This
requirement helps support the creditworthiness of general obligation
bonds.
Revenue bonds Revenue bonds, which nance schools, hos-
pitals, utilities, airports, affordable housing and other public works,
are paid by dedicated streams of revenue. For example, revenues
generated by the sewer system pay the interest on a sewer system
revenue bond. Because revenue bonds have more restricted revenue
streams than general obligation bonds, they are generally viewed to
be riskier. To compensate for the added risk, revenue bonds usually
pay a higher rate of interest than general obligation bonds. When
studying the risk factors of revenue bonds, you also have to con-
sider the type of revenue bond involved. For example, some sectors,
such as housing and health care, may be more volatile, as are some
industrial revenue bonds. (These bonds, which are generally used
to support a specic project, such as a new manufacturing facility,
are sponsored by a government entity but the proceeds go to a
private, for-prot business.)
Of course, when evaluating the risk potential of municipal bonds,
you dont have to rely on guesswork. The major bond rating agen-
cies Standard & Poors, Moodys and Fitch review municipal
bonds to determine their creditworthiness. There are no guarantees,
but by sticking with the bonds that are investment grade, you can
help reduce the risk of owning a bond that goes into default.
Municipal bonds can be valuable additions to your portfolio. Be-
sides providing income thats free of federal taxes, these bonds offer
you a chance to help support valuable projects in your community.
But, as weve seen, different munis have different risk factors
so make sure you know exactly what type of bond youre purchasing
before you write the check.

A Humboldt man has
pleaded not guilty to all charg-
es, including two counts of
vehicular homicide/operating
while intoxicated, both class B
felonies.
Cody John Weisbrich, 18,
Humboldt, entered the plea
in a written arraignment led
with the Humboldt County
District Court on May 10.
A pre-trial conference has
been set for June 30, at 9 a.m.,
with a jury trial set for Tues-
day, July 8, at 9 a.m.
In addition to the vehicular
homicide charges, Weisbrich
is accused of serious injury by
vehicle, operating while under
the inuence, possession of a
controlled substance, posses-
sion of drug paraphernalia and
failure to maintain control.
Weisbrich is being repre-
sented by Derek Johnson, an
attorney from Fort Dodge.
Johnson has led a motion
to produce with the court. The
motion seeks all written and
oral statements made by the
defendant or any co-defen-
dants to agents of the state or
in recorded interviews.
The motion also seeks all
documents concerning eld
sobriety tests, blood tests,
urine tests, saliva tests, chemi-
cal tests and all laboratory re-
sults related to such tests. As
well as any other physical evi-
dence related to the case.
The motion also seeks any
and all books, papers, docu-
ments, photos or tangible ob-
jects, or copies of them taken
by and within the custody of
the states to be used as evi-
dence at the trial, including
copies of all trafc citations
and any video taped evidence.
The defendants counsel
also seeks the names and ad-
dresses of all witnesses.
The charges stem from a
trafc accident that occurred
last Aug. 17, that killed two of
Weisbrichs high school class-
mates, and seriously injured
another.
Humboldt County Attorney
Jon Beaty said he expects de-
positions to be taken in con-
nection with the case begin-
ning in early July.
Weisbrich has been re-
leased on his own recogni-
zance since the charges were
led in April.
Cody Weisbrich

Its been reported that for-
mer Rolfe Police Chief Don
Westering has settled a civil
lawsuit with the city and city
ofcials out of court.
Legal representatives for
the parties have not released
any details of the settlement.
In December 2012, Wester-
ing led a suit against the city
and city council members
Joni Ham, Lana Pratt and Al
Kuchenreuther, as well as
Rolfe citizens Dan and Mary
Allen
At an Aug. 27, 2012, Rolfe
City Council meeting, coun-
cil members and citizens
commented on Westerings
performance as police chief,
some speaking against his per-
formance, and other people
speaking in favor.
At that meeting, it was re-
ported that Westering was too
aggressive and threatening
to be effective as the towns
peace ofcer.
On a 4-1 vote, the council
voted to remove Westering,
with council member Joe Ra-
maekers joining the council
members named in the suit in
voting yes. Councilman David
Thoren voted against Wester-
ings removal.
However, under Iowa law,
authority to dismiss and hire
the chief of police lies with the
towns mayor.
Rolfe Mayor Mike Hayek
delayed a decision, saying that
Westering could serve until his
term in ofce expired at the
end of December 2012.
However, at a Dec. 13,
2012, meeting, the Rolfe City
Council elected to contract
with the Pocahontas County
Sheriffs Ofce for police
protection, effectively leav-
ing Westering without a job.
He resigned as police chief on
Dec. 27, 2012.
Westerings civil suit con-
tended that defendants named
in the suit raised false and de-
famatory statements against
him, causing irreparable injury
to his reputation and nega-
tively impacting his ability to
work as a police ofcer.
The suit was dismissed
with prejudice.

The Archaeological Report
on the Larson Memorial Test
Excavations at an 1855-1943
Mill Site in Humboldt County,
Iowa has been received from
Cynthia Peterson, the Project
Archaeologist for the dig. The
Report is extensive, printing
out to 84 pages.
Over the years, the mill op-
erated as McKnights Sawmill,
Charles Bergk and Co. Mill,
the Dakota Flouring Mill, C.H.
Brown and Sons Mill, Brown
and Sons, Dakota City Roller
Mills and Brown Feed Mill.
The Report makes fascinat-
ing reading for anyone inter-
ested in the history of the Mill,
the work done on the dig in the
summer of 2013, the artifacts
found on the dig and much
more. There are many photo-
graphs, graphs and tables that
augment the Report.
Many people helped Pe-
terson gather the data for the
report. Brothers Roger Larson
and Palmer Larson, Jr., of rural
Eagle Grove, bequeathed a gift
to the Humboldt County His-
torical Association, without
which this excavation would
not be possible. The Report
gratefully acknowledges their
generosity. At the Humboldt
County Historical Associa-
tion, Sandra Back and Carolyn
Logan were a great inspira-
tion, their passion for learning
about, sharing and promoting
local history is contagious.
(18551943). No remnants of
the earliest mill manifestation,
McKnights Sawmill, were
identied. It is probable the
later ouring mill obliterated
any traces of the sawmill.
Archaeological testing re-
vealed the site is eligible for
listing on the National Regis-
ter, due to its relationship to
patterns that inuenced the
development of Iowas milling
industry, the sites association
with persons of signicance,
because the property possesses
distinctive characteristics il-
lustrating the mills congura-
tion and because the site con-
tains signicant, below ground
(archaeological) resources.
The sites historic integrity is
moderate-to-high.
A copy of the report has
been placed in the Humboldt
Public Library. Personal cop-
ies can be obtained from Caro-
lyn Logan by contacting her
by phone at 515-332-9037 or
by email: carolyn@goldelda-
ccess.net.
Over three hundred vol-
unteer hours made the project
possible. Volunteers includ-
ed Sandra Back, Pat Baker,
Nathan Bear, Dave Brown,
Steve Curry, Jacob Halvor-
son, Krystal Larsen, Marvin
Lindemann, Carolyn Logan,
Jim Mallory, Michael Perry,
Joanne Peterson, Ann Phillips,
Shelly Phillips, Katelyn Skow,
Jennifer Skow, Noah Skow,
Harrison Tille, Greg Tille,
Nick Torkelson, Steve Wit-
tmer, and John Zeitler. Ardis
(Severson ) Sandsgaard lived
on the property as a child, and
she graciously shared family
photographs and stories about
the land.
Summary and recom-
mendations
Today, substantial above-
ground ruins remain at the
site, related to the two main
mill buildings (grain elevator
and milling building), the wa-
ter ume, and the dam. Prior
to the present investigation, it
was unknown if any signi-
cant below ground deposits
were preserved. Archaeologi-
cal testing revealed a wealth of
preserved subsurface remains,
including features and intact
artifact deposits, such as evi-
dence of the 1943 re; remains
of an earlier, northern addition
to the mill building complex;
and evidence of a forge and as-
sociated foundation.
Following the re, the site
had the potential to become
contaminated with later farm
and dairying related refuse.
However, archaeology dem-
onstrated that the vast major-
ity of artifacts from the site
date to the period of mill use

Marlene is a Humboldt na-
tive, graduating from Hum-
boldt High School in 1975.
She is a self-employed real-
tor, property and casualty in-
surance agent, life insurance
agent and stockbroker. Mar-
lene has been active in her
community, currently serving
as BPW President, serving as
a Hospice volunteer, dona-
tions chair of the American
Heart Association, and serving
on the stewardship commit-
tee of our Saviours Lutheran
Church.
She has always wanted to be
able to pay it forward, if I can
help someone else in the time
of need please contact me.
When my son got diagnosed
with cancer I contacted anoth-
er mother who had a son with
cancer and have allowed my
phone number to be given to
the oncologist and nurse to be
given to moms who have had
a child diagnosed with cancer
to call me. Over the years she
has visited with several moms.
When she was diagnosed she
turned to other people who had
gone through breast cancer
and found these discussions
to be very helpful. Now she is
offering to have anyone who
needs a listening ear to call her
with questions.
Marlene is married to her
husband, Randy. Randy is em-
ployed by NAPA Auto Parts in
Fort Dodge.
They have one son, Cooper,
who works for Nationwide
Insurance in Des Moines in
the IT department. He and his
wife, Katie, a nurse at McFar-
land Clinic in Ames, have a
10-month old daughter, Ains-
ley, making Marlene a proud
grandma.
It was 10 years ago that
Cooper battled testicular can-
cer and went on to lead the
Survivors Lap at the Hum-
boldt County Relay for Life.
Now, Marlene has been asked
to lead the Survivors Lap with
Nadene Blanchard at the 2014
Humboldt County Relay for
Life on Friday night, June 27,
at the Humboldt High School
track. Marlene and Nadene
became friends through their
cancer treatments and car-
pooled together for their treat-
ments together to Fort Dodge.
They encourage all to take part
in the Relay for Life at the
High School on Friday night.
In addition to Coopers
battle with cancer, Marlenes
father died of colon cancer in
1992, her sister died of cancer
at age 50 (the cancer started
as melanoma) and her mother,
who is 91, has had two mas-
tectomies (20 and 30 years
ago) and now breast cancer
has returned. Marlenes family
has had its share of cancer, as
many families have had. One
out of three people will get
cancer, that is crazy! Now I too
have to say I have had cancer,
but can walk as a survivor!
Thompson said many
friends, family and clients
wanted to help. My friend,
Louise Hauck, asked what
the Relay for Life team could
do to raise money. Louises
sister, Ellen Vanderhoff, is a
nurse and suggested having
a bake sale at the Humboldt
County Memorial Hospital,
Thompson, has served on the
hospitals board of trustees for
many years. A Relay for Life
bake sale was held on May
28, in Marlenes honor at the
Humboldt County Memorial
Hospital, raising over $1,200.
A silent auction for cancer
was also held raising another
$1,400 for Relay for Life.
Marlenes Relay for Life
team is Marlenes Breast
Cancer Support Team. Dona-
tions for Relay for Life/Ameri-
can Cancer Society can be sent
to my ofce at 1717 8th Ave.
N., Humboldt, IA 50548, un-
til the Relay for Life event on
Friday, June 27, I encourage
all to take part in the event.
Marlenes hope is that one day
there will be a cure and an end
to breast cancer and all cancers
with new research.
I enjoy being involved in
the Humboldt County Relay
for Life. The American Cancer
Society provides such great in-
formation and research. Its a
great event, Thompson said.
I would encourage women
to have mammograms every
year. Ask your doctor ques-
tions about anything you have
concerns about. Early detec-
tion is very important. Eat nu-
tritiously, exercise and thank
the Lord for each day you can
be healthy and remember to
keep the ght so we all can
celebrate many more birth-
days.

How many people out there LOVE to mow their yard? That
is exactly the word Barb Adams used when she shared with me
some of her activities and hobbies. She said, I LOVE to mow
my yard. She also does her sons yard out in the country. She
loves being in the quiet of nature, she told me.
Barb Adams started her life in Emerson NE, and graduated
from Emerson-Hubbard High School. She met her late husband,
John, while working at the Nebraska State Bank in South Sioux
City, NE. She was the only single girl working there at the time
when this new single guy was hired to also work at the same
bank. All the employees kept trying to get them together but
Barb says, I ignored him for a couple of years! After a couple
of years they did start dating and ended up getting married June
1, 1969. Barbs mother is Helen Oetken of Madison, SD. Her
father is deceased.
John was raised in Humboldt and graduated from the Hum-
boldt High School. He earned his business education at NDT
School in Sioux City. His parents were Lloyd and Mary Ad-
ams. When Johns dad was retiring from farming John and Barb
moved back to Humboldt and farmed on the family farm that
their son, Doug, now farms. Barb said she didnt really want to
come to Iowa to live on a farm, but after a couple of years she
gave in. Eventually John was employed and retired from Bank
Iowa here in Humboldt. Barb worked as a Program Technician
for Farm Service Agency for 22 years before she retired from
there. After her children were a little bigger, she attended Iowa
Central in Fort Dodge for a year.
Barb has two children and six grandchildren. Her daughter,
Julie, lives in Georgia and works at BB and T, which is a bank.
She works as an Investment Counselor. Her son Doug farms
the family farm and also works for NRCS. Dougs wife, Kim,
is a Microbiologist working at the Fort Dodge Labs in Quality
Control.
Barbs six grandchildren are Austin Saathoff, who just grad-
uated this spring and will be going to Northwestern in Orange
City. John Felix will be in the sixth grade when school resumes
this fall. Doug and Kims children are Elena, 9; Dalia, 6; Tyler,
4; and Tommy, 3.
Barb belongs to Faith United Methodist Church in Humboldt
and is active in several other organizations. She is in Chapter
BV of PEO; on the Mission Committee at her church; adult
Sunday school class; United Methodist Women and Rebecca
Circle. Barb added, I guess Ive gone to Sunday school all of
my life. She is also in a prayer group and has helped organize
and gone on many mission trips. Her hobbies include reading,
tending to her many owers and loves her lawn mowing as I
stated earlier.
When eating alone, she enjoys just eating a salad. Her
grandchildrens favorite meal would be a ham dinner, including
mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and a salad. Scotcha-
roos are a favorite of her grandchildren, also. Barb shared some
good sounding recipes, two of which are easy to prepare ahead
and store easily so are used on their mission trips.

Market begins June 28

Finished planting the gar-
den? It is time to put down a
good layer of mulch.
Why use mulch? Mulches
are attractive, conserve mois-
ture, control uctuations in
root and help to inhibit weed
growth. Mulch also helps to
control disease in plants, such
as tomatoes, by preventing
fungal spores in the soil from
reaching leaves by splashing
rains or irrigation.
Mulch plants soon after
planting for best results. Ap-
ply mulch about three to four
inches deep over moist soil. If
laid over dry soil, mulch can
act like a sponge and remove
moisture from the soil. Be sure
to water thoroughly after ap-
plying a mulch to prevent this
from happening. Keep mulch
about an inch away from plant
stems, to help prevent rot,
pests or disease.
Mulching materials such as
wood chips and bark are avail-
able for purchase. A more eco-
nomical option may be to visit
your local tree disposal site for
wood chips to use as mulch.
You may need to sift through
to remove larger pieces, but by
doing so, you are helping to
recycle and also saving money
as well.
Other effective mulches
for the garden include pieces
of old carpeting, shredded of-
ce paper or four or ve lay-
ers of newspaper. Be sure to
water these well after applying
to prevent them from blowing
away.
Grass clippings can also be
used as mulch if allowed to dry
well before use. Avoid clip-
pings that may include weed
seed, and never use clippings
from a lawn that has been
treated with an herbicide.
An unfortunate drawback
to using a plastic mulch or
landscape fabric is that plastic
does not break down to add or-
ganic matter, which improves
the soil. Plastic also needs to
be removed from the garden
site each year.
Did you know? Mulching
around newly planted trees and
shrubs can prevent mower
blight - mechanical damage
from lawn mowers and weed
trimmers, which can girdle
bark and cause plant death.
For further information on
using mulch or other garden-
ing questions, contact Yvonne
McCormick at yvonne@ia-
state.edu.
Much ado about mulch!

Marv and Bev Allbaugh wrote the grant applica-
tion for the paint to paint the Red Barn located on the
grounds of the Museum. Submitted photo.
The Erickson barn is located on the grounds of the
Humboldt County Museum. It is also known as the Red
Barn and is in need of a new coat of red paint. Submit-
ted photo.
By Carol Saul Logan
Thanks to Bev and Marv
Allbaugh, who applied for the
grant, the Humboldt County
Historical Association has re-
ceived a 2014 project award
from Diamond Vogel Paints
and Paint Iowa Beautiful.
The project is to paint the
1941 Erickson Barn on the
grounds of the Museum and
the grant gives us 12 gallons of
Diamond Vogel paint.
The two-story 2,300 square
feet wood barn was moved to
the cement slab on the Muse-
um grounds in 1971, from the
Adrian Erickson farm east of
Rutland. Two side rooms have
been added since then.
Entering the barn through
the split Dutch style door, a
visitor can see a veterinary dis-
play with operating table, car-
penters tool and wood turning
lathe, milking and horse tack
with life size cow and horse,
range of water pumps, tin-
smith tools, ice cutting saws
and old tools, many of them
handmade and/ or brought
from the old country. Upstairs
houses plows, a potato planter,
limestone tools and photos of
Humboldts limestone build-
ings, wooden pipes, and other
farming implements.
The project has to be com-
pleted by the end of 2014, and
it was estimated that 20 gal-
lons of paint were needed for
the job so we need more paint
and management / volunteers
for the job.
Please contact the Museum
director at 515-332-5280 or
Historical Association presi-
dent Greg Stoebe at 515-332-
2353 if you are interested in
being part of this project.

USDA Rural Development
in Iowa has established a cen-
tralized delivery system for its
Direct Home Loan Program.
This program, which helps
low-income households in ru-
ral Iowa make home purchases
with no down payments, has
$11 million in funding avail-
able.
The demand for USDA
direct home loan funding has
historically been strong in
Iowa and nationally, said Bill
Menner, USDA Rural Devel-
opment state director in Iowa.
This change in how we
deliver the program to rural Io-
wans will help us as we strive
to provide efcient, predict-
able and timely loan review,
along with high customer ser-
vice and satisfaction.
All inquiries, pre-qualica-
tions and applications for the
USDA Rural Developments
Direct Home Loan Program
are to be directed to the email

ing address USDA Rural De-
velopment, 210 Walnut Street,
Room 87, Des Moines, Iowa
50309.
To be eligible for the pro-
gram homes must be pur-
chased in rural areas which
are typically dened as com-
munities of less than 20,000
residents.
Staff in the 10 USDA Rural
Development Area Ofces in
Iowa will continue to assist the
housing needs of rural Iowans
by servicing the more than 440
USDA-nanced multi-family
housing complexes which pro-
vide more than 9,000 rental
units around the state, as well
as delivering the agencys
home repair and improvement
loan and grant program.
We look forward to serv-
ing the housing needs of ru-
ral Iowans in new and effec-
tive ways, Menner added.
Expanding and preserving
homeownership and housing
opportunities is a major part of
the foundation for a stronger,
more prosperous rural Ameri-
ca.

velopment for more informa-
tion, call (515) 284-4663 or

nually on Labor Day weekend
in Humboldt, its living by its
motto.
Weve always called our-
selves The Festival with the
Personal Touch! and weve
tried to live by that, Midwest
Polka Fest Chair Mary Mulli-
gan said.
This year, the festival is
gearing up for its Silver Anni-

bands playing on three wood-

sense of family.
We like to have a good
time and make people feel at

dances of years gone-by and

tival in Humboldt?

Joyce Hulley of Sandborn, and Keith Laue of

Fest in Humboldt . You could say they really are festival
fans. Humboldt Independent photo.
The Midwest Polka Fest is all about having fun,
something Gerald Reinsch of Stanhope, and an uniden-
was a good idea, it was. She
was Miss Humboldt when it
came to promoting the town,
Polka Fest Committee mem-
ber Margie Martin recalls.
Riedinger had a kindred
spirit when it came to com-
munity tourism. That being
longtime Chamber of Com-
merce director and volunteer
Fred Meyer. Fred operated the
local movie theater and never
missed a chance to promote
his adopted hometown. Fred
moved to Humboldt to operate
the theater in the early 1950s.
A committee comprised
of Riedinger, Hamand, Mulli-
gan, Martin and Meyer, along
with Paul Wright, Dick Hake,
LaVon Runkle and Maynard
Wiemers, made up the initial
group that decided the Hum-
boldt County Fairgrounds
would be the location for the
Midwest Polka Fest. They also
decided that the festival would
be held on Labor Day week-
end.
We were fortunate to have
Dick Hake on the committee.
He was the Humboldt City
Clerk, but had a background in
radio, so he helped us with his
voice for promotions, Mulli-
gan said.
The committee printed
up yers, made colorful red,
white and black banners and
made cardboard fans to help
the high-spirited polka step-
pers cool off between sets.
The rst festival was mod-
est in comparison to what the
event became.
It was a one-day event, Sat-
urday, Sept. 1, 1990. It was
sponsored by the Humboldt/
Dakota City
Chamber of Com-
merce and fea-
tured one dance
oor with four
bands.
The bands per-
forming at the
initial Midwest
Polka Fest were
the Peter and
Paul Wendinger
Band and the
Johnny Helget
Polka Band, both
from New Ulm,
MN, Al Landins
Last Polka Band
of Ames, and
Beckys Ivanhoe
Dutchmen from
Cedar Rapids.
The 880 people
attending and en-
joying the after-
noon and evening
of dancing sur-
prised the orga-
nizers. Everything
they heard from
guests was posi-
tive, with the only
comment, we
want more!
It was a tremendous turn-
out, far above expectations,
Meyer said at the time.
One of the surprising
things we kept hearing from
people was that even though
it was the rst year for it, they
said it was the best one they
had attended, Meyer reported.
The committee quickly
marshaled volunteers to be
able to handle the large throng
of attendees expected when
word got around dancing cir-
cles that the Midwest Polka
Fest was an event that was not
to be missed.
The key was the bands.
Fred Meyer always said you
have to have good bands to at-
tract a crowd, Martin remem-
bers.
The second year the event
expanded to two-and-one-half
days, and within a few years,
the festival mushroomed to
three days on three wooden in-
door dance oors.
The committee booked a
dozen bands to play over three
days, providing for 36 hours of
music.
All of that did not come
without a lot of hard work
from the committee and volun-
teers, and a lot of fun as well.
We rented a Master Dance
portable oor out of Califor-
nia. We booked more bands
and were expecting larger
crowds, so we had to have
more volunteers, Mulligan
said.
I remember traveling
throughout the Dakotas, Mon-
tana, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
all over, looking for and listen-
ing to bands, original Com-
mittee member Paul Wright
said.
I remember construct-
ing stages and working on the
wood oor in the horticultural
building at the fairgrounds
(what is now affectionately
referred to as Polka Hall). We
worked until 4 in the morn-
ing sanding that old oor,
Committee member Maynard
Wiemers said.
Another key was having
plenty of space. Unlike some
fairgrounds located on the
outskirts or outside the city
limits, the Humboldt County
Fairgrounds are close to every-
thing.
Located one block south
of a major state highway, the
fairgrounds is just blocks away
from restaurants, gas stations
and shopping, and only eight
blocks north of Humboldts
downtown.
It was easy to get to, and
we really promoted and part-
nered with the town, to high-
light attractions and other
things that might be going on,
Mulligan said.
Having the Chamber spon-
sor the event added legitimacy
to the tourism efforts. In the
early years, there were com-
munity garage sales, restau-
rant and retail specials and
other activities, but the main
attraction was and always has
been the music and the danc-
ingalong with the fun and
socialization.
We just love coming here,
Melvin and Phyllis Miredrich
of nearby Algona, said at the
2013 Midwest Polka Fest.
Weve only missed one in 24
years, and that was due to a
family wedding.
For music and fun, this is
the Cadillac of Polka Fests,
said Will Geary of Menasha,
WI. We love it! It gives us a
chance to renew old friend-
ships and make new ones, his
wife Rosie added, in a 2008
Humboldt Independent inter-
view.
The personal touch is ex-
emplied early and often dur-
ing the course of the Labor
Day weekend. It begins with
familiar committee members
taking tickets at the front gate,
visiting with and kidding at-
tendees and helping them with
any personal needs or ques-
tions.
Mary Mulligan can eas-
ily be spotted wearing a Polka
Fest T-shirt and maybe wear-
ing a Midwest Polka Fest
badge.
We printed badges for the
rst 17 years, said Martin and
Mulligan, who still have a large
collection of them. The dance
oors have honored birthdays,
anniversaries and other special
occasions.
Its all about making peo-
ple feel special and making
sure they have a good time,
Mulligan said.
Sometimes, it seems as if
the music never stops.
A lot of the musicians just
love playing. Theyd be up
playing jam sessions back by
the horse barns until the wee
hours, Wiemers said.
The Midwest Polka Fest
reached its zenith for atten-
dance in the late 1990s and
early 2000s, when 3,000 peo-
ple would attend the event.
A large grassy parking
area west of the events center
reached a high-water mark of
180 motor home campers in
2003.
Once the gas prices rose,
the number of out-of-state
guests declined, Wiemers
said.
Still, it is not unusual for
the Midwest Polka Fest to
draw well in excess of 1,000
dancers on a given Labor Day
weekend.
The local committees com-
munity support has extended
to service clubs and churches.
The Humboldt Evening Lions
Club and Our Saviours Lu-
theran Church have provided
a wide selection of avorful
food for the dancing souls with
homemade pie a la mode one
of the favorite specialties. The
festival committee handles the
beverage license for the dis-
pensing of beer and wine cool-
ers.
A morning church ser-
vice and a pancake/omelette
breakfast on the Sunday of the
festival have become regular
traditions, with a non-denom-
inational Polka Mass held for
the attendees and the public
for the past several years.
The Wendinger Band of
New Ulm, MN, has even
played polka masses at the
local Lutheran and Catholic
churches in Humboldt.
As a group that hasnt
missed a Midwest Polka Fest,
band leader Peter Wendinger
says the group always sets
aside Labor Day weekend to
venture to Humboldt.
The organizers have al-
ways advertised it as the Fes-
tival with the Personal Touch,
and Id have to agree with that
statement. The committee al-
ways has went out of their way
to make people feel right at
home, and they always have a
good lineup of bands.
Just as the Wendinger Band
is a family tradition (Peters
nephew Jon, now runs the
band,) so are the many polka
festivals in the Upper Mid-
west.
Its one big moving happy
family, Peter Wendinger said.
Youll see people at one
festival and two weeks later
at another one. They cant get
enough.
Thats reason enough to ex-
plain the success of the Mid-
west Polka Fest in Humboldt,
celebrating 25 years of being
the Festival with the Personal
Touch!

They say a rising tide lifts all boats, or in this case canoes and kayaks. Sixty-seven
boaters took advantage of gorgeous weather and a steady but gentle current Sunday
for a canoe oat hosted by the Humboldt County Chapter of Pheasants Forever. The
group left the Dakota City Park and traveled the East Fork of the Des Moines River
to Gotch Park. Humboldt Independent photo.
Many kayaks were among the non-motorized boats enjoying a trip down the riv-

Wildcat senior soccer player Chelsea Kritzer
goes downeld with the ball late in the Wildcats
3-2 loss to Webster City on June 3 in Humboldt in
rst round regional tournament play.
Webster City scored two goals midway through the second half
and held off Humboldt, 3-2 in a Class 1A rst round regional
girls soccer game in Humboldt last week (June 3).
In a contest played at Mason Maach Field, which was ham-
pered by steady rain, Humboldt came up short in its bid to put
together a post-season tournament run.
We didnt come today and play our best soccer, Wildcat
second-year head coach Christiane Lessa said. All season we
showed up and got better and better. But today we didnt play
as composed as we usually do. We didnt play our defense the
way we should have.
Webster City played better today and deserved to win and we
didnt play at our best, Lessa said. Its disappointing to lose on
our home eld in the rst round regional because we have played
so well at times this season.
Webster City scored the rst goal of the game and led 1-0 at
halftime. Humboldt got on the board early in the second half
when the Wildcats Morgan Weydert punched in a kick to make
it 1-1. Five minutes later at the 25:02 mark, Humboldt senior
Maddie Thomas, who will take her talent to Wartburg College
in the fall, scored for the Wildcats and a 2-1 Humboldt lead.
The Lynx added a goal at 19:30 to play to tie the game at 2-2.
The Lynx added another goal shortly after that at the 17:43 mark
to take a 3-2 lead as the rainfall became heavier.
Humboldt had their chances in the nal 10 minutes, including
a shot that hit the side bar of the Lynx goal.
Humboldt, which completed its second season of elding
a soccer team, nished with a 6-5 record. Webster City (9-8)
advanced into a regional seminal round contest against Clear
Lake, which beat Garner-Hayeld/Ventura 4-0.

Another strong eld of golfers
will be on hand for the 63rd an-
nual George Lee Memorial Golf
Tournament to be held Saturday,
June 14 at Humboldt Country
Club.
Tournament director Nate
Mueller, who begins his second
year at the helm, says a host of
past champions and challengers
will return for the event.
Last year Ryan Kinseth of
Fort Dodge shot a four-under-
par 102 to win his rst title after
being a challenger for several
years. Kevin Ault of Fort Dodge
was second with a 111. Kinseth
sank a 50-foot birdie putt in the
pouring rain on number six in the
championship ight that all but
sealed the victory.
Kinseth will not be available
to defend his title this weekend,
but past champions who will
be back include Humboldt na-
tive and Decorah resident Todd
McDonough (1997), and 2011
winner Blake Bengurd of Orange
City.
Last year we had 91 golfers
and this year we will have just as
many, if not more with several
Humboldts Cassie Shimon bunts the ball into play last
week for the Wildcat softball team. Independent photo.
Humboldts varsity softball team entered this week with a 7-2
overall record after a busy slate of games last week, capped by a
1-1 performance in their own triangular last Saturday (June 7).
The Wildcats were 3-1 in the North Central Conference last
week, capped by a victory at home on June 6 over Eagle Grove.
Wildcats 8, Cherokee 3
Humboldt came back in the second game at home on Saturday,
earning an 8-3 triumph over Cherokee.
Terwilliger pitched all seven innings and gave up eight hits,
three runs (3 earned), walked three and struck out seven. HHS
backed her up with no errors and 10 hits on offense.
HHS scored one run in the second inning, one in the fourth,
two in the fth and four in the seventh inning.
Friesth singled and also stole two bases and scored twice. Beht
Dufeld singled, scored and had an RBI and two stolen bases.
Terwilliger tripled in two runs. Kaylee Sawyer scored. Sarah
Peters tripled and homered with two RBI and one run scored.
Maggy Dufeld scored a run and Kelsey Peters doubled and
scored. Thomas singled twice with an RBI and a stolen base.
Also, Halie George had a base hit and Olivia Birdsell scored
once.
We came out and played a very fundamentally sound softball
game to win 8-3, Van Pelt said. It was tied late in the game and
we pushed across four or ve runs late to get the win. It was a
gritty performance and a good bounce back effort after a disap-
pointing opening game. Im happy to see the kids came back to
play a quality game.
Mason City 13, Wildcats 0
Mason City shutout the Wildcats 13-0 in ve innings on June
7 in Humboldt.
Cats go 1-1 in home triangular Terwilliger pitched one and two-thirds innings and allowed
seven hits, seven runs (four earned), one walk and two strikeouts.
Shelbie Miller pitched the next one and one-third innings and gave
up two hits, one run and one walk. Lizzie Tecklenburg pitched
the nal two innings and allowed four hits, ve runs (4 earned),
three walks and one hit batter.
Offensively for Humboldt, Beth Dufeld singled and stole
a base. Lauren Friesth stole a base. Sarah Peters doubled and
Maddie Thomas singled.
Mason City hit the ball all over the place and we werent
ready to play at 10 a.m. on a Saturday. It was a good learning
experience, Van Pelt said. Mason City pounded the ball all day.
They play in the Des Moines Metro so they see good pitching
all the time and can hit the ball. They have a group of kids who
have been playing a long time. They just lack some pitching.
We didnt do much offensively to put pressure on them.
Defensively we didnt make the play when they did hit it at us.
They also hit a lot of gaps, Van Pelt said. We got taken to the
woodshed and we have to learn from that. Mentally you can
control how you respond to it.
Wildcats 5, Eagles 3
Terwilliger pitched a ve-hitter and struck out ve with one
walk in seven innings as the Wildcats topped Eagle Grove, 5-3
in an NCC game in Humboldt on June 6.
HHS, which totaled six hits, pushed across two runs in the rst
inning and added one in the second and two in the fth.
Terwilliger had two hits and an RBI to lead Humboldts of-
fense. Beth Dufeld singled and stole a base while Lauren Friesth
stole three bases and scored twice. Sarah Peters, Maddie Thomas
and Halie George each had a hit. Taylor Gidel and Maggy Dufeld

Brenden Schnell pitched a 2-hit-

Humboldt High baseball team to
a 5-0 shutout victory over Iowa
Falls-Alden Monday night (June
9) in Humboldt.
The triumph lifted Humboldts
season record to 9-1 overall, 3-1
in the North Central Conference.
Schnell pitched all seven innings
and allowed no walks. The Wild-
cats backed him up with ve hits at

had two. Brady Shelgren, Devon
Clark and Nick Laing each hit a
single.
The Wildcats jumped on the
Cadets for two runs in the rst in-
ning and added one in each of the
second, fourth and sixth innings.
You had two good pitchers out
on the mound tonight, Wildcat
coach Jason Thurm said. Brenden
Schnell was dominant. The thing
that impressed me the most about
him was that he was so efcient.
Lots of innings with 13 pitches
or less. Quality innings. He didnt
walk anybody. He looked real sharp
tonight.
Offensively we were oppor-
a great game for us. Thats his rst real
varsity experience pitching. He did a
super job. When he walked a few batters,
he was able to work out of his trouble,
Wildcat head coach Jason Thurm said.
He was also big-time at the plate with
two hits and a home run. We struggled
offensively in this game but we hung
around and were able to get some run-
ners on in the bottom of the seventh and
Dillon Fevold came up bit with a hit for
us so we were able to squeak one out,
Thurm said.
Wildcats 12, C.Springs 9
A five-run sixth inning keyed the
Wildcats to a 12-9 victory over Central

Central, coached by former Humboldt
player Ethan Miller, totaled 11.
Wildcat starting pitcher Marcus Inman

from B front
HHS softball continued from B front
both scored.
The victory improved Hum-
boldts record to 3-1 in the
NCC.
We scored early in taking
a 3-0 lead and then didnt do
much after that, Van Pelt said.
It took us until about the sixth
inning when we got kids in
scoring position. It was one of
our best defensive efforts of the
year. It was a good solid win.
There arent any easy wins
in our conference. One night
you can have a slugfest and then
the next night its a low-scoring
3-2 type of game. You have to
be ready to go, Van Pelt said.
We had three quality confer-
ence wins to get us going on
the right track.
Wildcats blast Lions, 19-0
Humboldt had no trouble in
picking up a conference win at
home on June 5 against Clear
Lake, blasting the Lions 19-0
in three innings.
Humboldt scored 12 runs in
the rst inning and added seven
in the second as they clubbed
20 hits total. A total of eight
players each had two hits for
the Wildcats, including Kelsey
Peters, who hit a grand slam
homer.
Avery Terwilliger pitched
the rst two innings and struck
out three and Shelbie Miller
worked the nal inning with
one strikeout as they combined
to pitch a no-hitter.
When you score 12 in the
rst inning, you are in pretty
good shape, Van Pelt said. We
hit the ball into the gaps and we
hit it hard and forced them to
make mistakes.
Clear Lake had some kids
gone on a school trip so Im
sure it will be a tougher game
next time around, Van Pelt
said. We were flawless of-
fensively and defensively.
We needed a quick night like
this with a very busy week of
games.
Wildcats top H-D in 8, 8-7
Humboldt rallied from a
one-run decit to nip Hampton-
Dumont, 8-7 in eight innings on
June 4 in Hampton.
The Wildcats totaled 13 hits
on the night, led by Beth Duff-
ield and Avery Terwilliger each
with three hits and Lauren Fri-
esth, Sarah Peters and Maddie
Thomas with two each. Kelsey
Peters socked a home run to
help Humboldt, which scored
one run in each of the seventh
and eighth innings to gain the
win.
Terwilliger pitched all eight
innings and scattered 10 hits,
seven runs (5 earned) with two
walks and two strikeouts.
This was a good rebound for
us coming off the Garrigan loss
from two nights earlier, Van
Pelt said. The same thing hap-

pened in this game where they
got a jump on us but this time
we battled back. We did a great
job being resilient and ghting
back. We tied it up and took the
lead once or twice. They would
tie it up and re-take the lead.
We were down one going
into the seventh and pushed one
across to force extra innings.
We scored one in the eighth,
Van Pelt said. Defensively
they got the leadoff kid on sec-
ond base with nobody out and
we got out of it. It was a very
gutsy effort by our kids. We
were put into a situation where
we had to battle back. It was a
good building block for us that
you have to be mentally tough
and stay in the ballgame.
We did a great job hitting
the ball and made a few mis-
takes on defense, that but that
will happen. We didnt give up
the big inning, Van Pelt said.
Im most pleased with the
way we battled back the entire
night.

We had our big inning in
the second and they got theirs
in the fourth. I didnt think
we did much offensively after
that, Humboldt coach Doug
Van Pelt said. Iowa Falls is one
of the best hitting teams in the
league. They took it to us, got a
lead and we didnt get anything
going after that.
Defensively we did a nice
job tonight. We had some nice
relays and cuts. We put the bat
on the ball. There are going to
be nights like tonight where
they will hit it hard and into the
gaps, Van Pelt said.

Lessa, who also serves as the womens head coach at Iowa
Central Community College, looked back on the season which
saw the Wildcats again make steady improvement. HHS was 3-7
in Lessas rst year at Humboldt in 2013.
Im sure tomorrow when I look back on the season, Ill be
happy as I reect on how much our program has improved in two
years. We have several girls who have only been playing soccer
the last few years, Lessa said.
We have girls who have never seen a soccer ball up to this
point and now they are doing so well, Lessa said. Four girls
played soccer when they were younger but the rest never did. So
yes, in the big picture, Im proud of how hard we worked and the
focus of the coaching staff and the girls.
Soccer will continue to develop in Humboldt. We have a good
structure here in Humboldt. If theres a will, theres a way, Lessa
said. Im very proud of all of them for being in the program and
making history here in Humboldt.
The game marked the end for several Wildcat senior class
members, who include Karlee Peyton, Thomas, Chelsea Kritzer
and Jen Bentz. Krizter plans on playing at Iowa Central next year
under Lessa.
Im so proud of the seniors. They will be a big loss for next
year. Those girls were the core of the team and so well have to
nd another core that will step up and play leadership roles for
us. It will be hard to nd girls like them, Lessa said.

Marcus Inman did a nice job

Thurm said. Offensively we
had chances, we werent able
to get that timely hit.
Wildcats 5, Eagles 2
Humboldt broke a scoreless
game with three runs in the top
of the sixth and two more in the

and two-thirds innings allowing
two runs off of ve hits with no
walks and 10 strikeouts. Witzke
pitched one and one-third in-
nings allowing no runs, one hit

Austin Zylstra did a super
job pitching. He didnt walk
a batter all night long. Witzke
came in to get the save. We
didnt walk anybody. Thats
the name of the game, dont
beat yourself, Thurm said. A
couple big hits late in the game
helped us out. Those included
sacrice bunts. Super job ex-
ecuting to score runs. It was a
good, hard-fought win.
Wildcats 9, SE Valley 3
Humboldt jumped on South-
east Valley for six runs in the
rst inning en route to a 9-3

We shoot for getting off to
an early lead and we were able
to do that tonight and score runs
early, Thurm said. We made
their starting pitcher throw 40
pitches in the rst inning. The
kids had a great game plan and
swung at their pitches and made
them work.
Defensively we made plays.
We have been pretty solid all
week long on defense. Nick
Laing did a nice job on the
mound and Marcus Inman came
in pitched well, Thurm said.
Wildcats 10, Bulldogs 5

bined for 14 strikeouts on the

tunistic. Their kid was wild
early in the game and we got
some runners on and scored.
We found ways to get runners
across the plate, Thurm said.
Hit totals werent quite there
but we need to do a better job at
the plate facing two strikes. We
have to be more aggressive. Its
early and well gure it out.
Wildcat
boys
from B front
nal one and one-third innings
with three strikeouts.
Our approach at the plate
on offense was much better
tonight, coach Thurm said.
We put the ball into play and
Hampton threw the ball around
a little bit. A lot of times its
not necessarily winning, but
not beating yourself. We put
pressure on them offensively
and got out to a nice lead.
Brenden Schnell was domi-
nant on the mound for the rst
ve innings. He ran out of gas a
little bit in the sixth but Austin
Zylstra came in to get us out
of a jam in the sixth inning,
Thurm said. It wasnt the pret-
tiest game we played, but we
played well enough to win.
Garrigan 7, Wildcats 3
Bishop Garrigan clubbed 11
hits and upended Humboldt,
7-3 in a North Central Confer-
ence opener for the Wildcats on
June 2 in Humboldt.
Humboldt starting pitcher
Chris Witzke took the loss on
the mound as he worked six in-
nings giving up 10 hits, six runs
(5 earned), no walks and struck
out 10. Austin Zylstra worked
one inning in relief and gave up
one run, one hit and struck out
one.
Humboldts six-hit attack
was led by Brenden Schnell,
who had two hits and two RBI.
Jordan Edwards had one hit,
along with Nick Laing. Brady
Shelgren singled in a run and
Zylstra doubled and scored
twice.
Bears pitcher Reece Wadle
struck out 14 and allowed six
hits, one walk and one earned
run in seven innings.
The Bears scored two runs
in each of the second, third and
fth innings while Humboldt
pushed across one run in the
rst, fourth and sixth innings.
We faced a really dominant
pitcher in Reece Wadle. It was
a situation where you have to
battle more when you are fac-
ing two strikes, Thurm said.
Hes a good pitcher, but I think
we need to shorten things up a
little bit with our approach at
the plate. We need to do all we
can to put the ball into play at
the plate and make them eld
the ball.
Our pitchers did a ne job
for us. They went out and threw
strikes. Our walks were down as
well. But Garrigan was able to
put a few more balls into play
and that was the difference in
the game, Thurm said.

The American Red Cross
urges Iowans to make sure
homes, schools and businesses
are prepared for severe weath-
er including rain, strong winds
and possible tornados.
The National Weather Ser-
vice in Des Moines recognizes
that severe weather is preva-
lent during the hot and hu-
mid summer months. Severe
weather, including tornadoes,
may happen overnight, so citi-
zens should make sure they
have a way of receiving warn-
ing information in the night.
Tornadoes that occur over-
night are often the most dead-
ly, said Dan Cataldi, region
disaster ofcer, for the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
Make sure you have a
weather radio or download the
Red Cross Tornado App and
designate your safe space be-
fore you go to sleep. The area
should be a basement, storm
cellar or an interior room on
the lowest oor away from
windows.
As with any disaster, prepa-
ration can be the difference
between life or death. The Red
Cross recommends that indi-
viduals and families prepare
for tornadoes by:
Creating and practicing
a Home Tornado Plan: Pick
a safe room or uncluttered
area without windows where
family members and pets
could seek shelter on the low-
est oor possible: a basement,
a center hallway, a bathroom
or a closet. Putting as many
walls between you and the
outside provides additional
protection.
Assembling a Emergency
Preparedness Kit: Kits should
contain a rst aid kit and es-
sential medications, foods
that dont require cooking or
Red Cross offers mobile tornado app
refrigeration and manual can
opener, bottled water, ash-
lights and a battery-powered
radio with extra batteries and
other emergency items for the
whole family.
Heeding Storm Warn-
ings: Listen to your local radio
and TV stations for updated
storm information. A tornado
WATCH means a tornado is
possible in your area. When a
tornado WARNING is issued,
go to the safe room you picked
to protect yourself from glass
and other ying objects. If
you are outside, hurry to the
basement of a nearby sturdy
building. If you are in a car or
mobile home, get out immedi-
ately and head to the nearest
building for safety. If you are
outside and there are no build-
ings, lie at in a low-lying area
or ditch and cover your head
with your arms and hands.
Preparing for High Winds:
Make trees more wind resis-
tant by removing diseased and
damaged limbs, then strategi-
cally removing branches so
that wind can blow through.
Install permanent shutters on
your windows and add pro-
tection to the outside areas of
sliding glass doors. Strengthen
garage doors and unreinforced
masonry.
Move or secure lawn fur-
niture, outdoor decorations or
ornaments, trashcans, hanging
plants and anything else that
can be picked up by wind and
become a projectile.
Download Tornado App
The American Red Cross
Tornado App is available in
English or Spanish and gives
iPhone, iPad and Android
smart phone and tablet us-
ers instant access to local and
real-time information, so they
know what to do before, dur-
ing and after a tornado.
The free app includes a
high-pitched siren and tor-
nado warning! alert that sig-
nals when a NOAA tornado
warning has been issued. This
feature allows users to make
critical decisions and to take
actions to help keep them-
selves and their loved ones
safe even in the middle of the
night. An all clear! alert lets
users know when a tornado
warning has expired or has
been cancelled.
Other features of the app in-
clude:
Location-based NOAA
tornado, severe thunderstorm
and ood watch and warning
alerts;
Enhanced weather maps
and information provided by
Weather Underground, a digi-
tal brand of The Weather Com-
pany;
One touch Im safe mes-
saging that allows users to
broadcast reassurance to fam-
ily and friends via social me-
dia outlets that they are out of
harms way;
Preloaded content that
gives users instant access to
critical action steps, even with-
out mobile connectivity;
Toolkit with ashlight,
strobe light and audible alarm;
and
Locations of open Red
Cross shelters.
If a tornado is threatening
your area, listen for alerts and
warnings, grab your emergen-
cy preparedness kit and head
to your designated safe area,
Cataldi added. Be prepared to
evacuate if necessary.
The Tornado App, along
with other apps, can be found
in the Apply App Store and the
Google Play Store for Android
by searching for American
Red Cross or by going to red-
cross.org/mobileapps. People
can go to redcross.org/tornado
for more safety tips.

Lee Miller, Jolene Johnson, and

farm equipment traveling on 1st Street;
The council was made aware of the farm
equipment that has been exiting the eld
and entering and traveling on 1st Street;
during the conversation it was stated that
heavy equipment (such as the combine
and loaded wagons) would not be driven
on that street at anytime, as the street is
not equipped to carry the load of such
equipment. The council was also made
aware that there would be times that
the need to access that road would arise
and the equipment that would travel that
road, not exceed the weight limit, and is
comparable to the weight of our snow
plow or tractor. Following discussion a
motion was made by Douglas, seconded
by Robinson, to grant access to the eld
when it is needed from 1st Street. All

Sixty-seven water enthusiasts from the novice to the well experienced gathered at the bridge at the Dakota City
Park Sunday for a leisurely canoe and kayak ride downstream on the East Fork of the Des Moines River. The
Humboldt County Pheasants Forever sponsored the event for the sixth time. This was actually only our third
time, because high or low water forced cancelations our other years, Pheasants Forever spokesperson John
Kollmorgen said. The number of canoeists and kayakers exceeded our expectations, Kollmorgen said. We had
30 kayaks and 20 canoes in the water. While Pheasants Forevers main goal is to support wildlife and especially
pheasant habitat for sportsmen and women, we want people to be involved in nature and get outdoors and recre-
ate. We had a perfect day for that Sunday, Kollmorgen said. Humboldt Independent photo.

A total of seven cygnet
Trumpeter Swans hatched
over the weekend at the
Highway 169 pond in
Humboldt. When this pho-
to was taken on Monday
afternoon, two remained
in the oating nest and
ve were paddling around
the water. They are part
of a program coordinated
by the Iowa Department
of Natural Resources to
bring back the Trumpeter
Swan to Iowa. Just 46 wild
pair of Trumpeter Swans
nested in Iowa last year.
On April 8 of this year
the DNR relocated ve
Trumpeter Swans from the
Humboldt location, three
to southern Iowa and two
to Palo Alto County. It was
a good year last year with
six being born and ve sur-
viving. In 2012, three were
born and just one survived
to be relocated.
The new swans are vis-
ible from Highway 169
or the Cottonwood Trail.
People are asked not to
feed the swans. See more
