Demolition of the Wes-
sels Crossroads conve-
nience store on Highway
169 South in Humboldt
is underway to make way
for a new 3,500 square foot
convenience store.
Henry Christensen built
the original gas station,
a full service Phillips 66
station, in 1962 (see photo
from when it opened). It
became a convenience
store in the mid-1970s,
according to Russ Chris-
tensen, who managed the
full service station.
The new store, which
will have a food partner, is
expected to open in Octo-
ber. Sande Construction is
the general contractor for
the project.

Courthouse security issues studied
By Kent Thompson
Courthouse and in particu-
lar courtroom security has be-
come a high visibility subject
following some random acts
of violence and various dis-
ruptions to court proceedings
across the country.
Now, Humboldt County is
faced with a decision about
providing a uniformed law en-
forcement ofcer for district
court, associate district court
and magistrate court criminal
proceedings.
In late May, Humboldt
County Sheriff Dean Kruger
received a letter from District
Court Judge Kurt Wilke of
Fort Dodge regarding court-
house/courtroom security.
Wilke said in 2006, Chief
Judge Jon Scoles sent a letter
to all 22 county sheriffs in the
Second Judicial District about
the matter.
Wilke said it was time to
revisit the issue in light of an
incident in the Madison Coun-
ty courtroom in late March,
where a convicted drug of-
fender brandished a handgun
at a sentencing hearing.
Wilke reiterated Scoles
earlier request to, at a mini-
mum have one uniformed
sheriffs deputy or security of-
cer present when court is in
session.
Wilke said some sheriff
ofces are providing the se-
curity, but most are not, unless
there are special circumstanc-
es or a reason for an ofcer to
be there (testimony in a case,
etc.)
I understand that each of-
ce has budgetary constraints,
but courthouse security should
be a top priority, Wilke said in
the letter.
He went on to say that
while sheriffs departments in
the Second Judicial District
have always been responsive
to specic threats, nonspecic
threats are far more prevalent
in the courtrooms of today
than of a few years ago.
More litigants are appear-
ing pro se and especially in

By Kent Thompson
Humboldt City Administrator Aaron Burnett reports in-
tense interest in ood damage related to work on the Sumner
Avenue Bridge caused by last weeks massive rains and high
water levels.
I posted a video on our city Facebook page and it has
received 9,772 views with 104 people sharing the video. The
city has received many calls, also, the city administrator
said.
Burnett reports that there are no problems with the center
bridge pier that has been constructed.
Obviously, the coffer dams looked to be destroyed and
will need to be rebuilt, and it also looks like the causeway
through the river bed will need to be replaced.
That will contribute to a signicant delay in the project,
but Godbersen-Smith is an experienced bridge builder and
Im sure this isnt the rst time theyve dealt with ooding
issues on a construction project, Burnett said.
He said part of the added problem is the high river level.
The West Fork of the Des Moines River was still 2.6 feet
above ood stage in Humboldt Tuesday morning.
Thats going to delay them a few more days until the
river level goes back down and they can resume construc-
tion, the city administrator reported.
There was some washing out of initial work that had
been completed on the Sumner Avenue sidewalk construc-
tion west of the new bridge, but since that project was just
getting started, the work that had been completed was lim-
ited, Burnett reported.
Hovey Construction of Fort Dodge is handling that proj-
ect.
Outside of pumping some water to bypass the sanitary
sewer system and basement seepage in some homes, there
was really no reports of damage from ooding in the city,
Burnett said.

ened emotions such as dis-
solutions and domestic abuse
issues. The judges and other
court personnel report an in-
crease in the number of people
who appear before them as
powder kegs with short fuses,
Wilke wrote.
County Sheriff Dean Kru-
ger appeared before the Hum-
boldt County Board of Su-
pervisors prior to Mondays
regular meeting to discuss the
matter. The issue was also
brought up during the meeting
with Humboldt County Attor-
ney Jon Beaty.
Beaty said either a full-time
sheriffs deputy or looking at
instituting a reserve ofcer
program where a person would
be trained and responsible for
the courthouse security duty,
would make the most sense.
Kruger said given the cur-
rent structure of the depart-
ment, another deputy might be
needed to perform the duties.
The supervisors reported
that there werent funds in the
budget to hire another deputy
at the present time, but the
board was willing to explore
options and look at possible
solutions.
Beaty said the duty could
take between 50-60 hours per
month, but because court case
schedules are highly exible,
the person might have to be
available to serve within an
hours notice.
Because of added duties of
mental health patient transfers
and other civil matters, sher-
iffs department employees are
putting in more time.
Board secretary Peggy Rice
reported that so far this scal
year (which ends next week),
the sheriffs ofce has turned
in $38,000 in overtime hours.
Beaty explained that there
are good and bad overtime
hours, meaning useful time
spent or time spent just wait-
ing, which could be the case
with some court dates.
The mornings are less of
a problem than the evening
hours because Dean or Brian
(Chief Deputy Ricklefs) are
there. But if one of the shift
deputies is pulled in for court
for a day or two, then some-
one from the evening shift has
to be pulled in, meaning more
overtime, Beaty explained to
the board.
With the copper thefts and
other criminal activity we have
going on in the evening hours,
I wouldnt feel comfortable
with just one deputy on pa-
trol, Beaty said.
Board Chairman Harlan
Hansen noted that with the
exception of Dakota City, who
pays $1,000 per year for law
enforcement protection, none
of the other small towns in the
county pay a fee.
While it wouldnt be a pop-
ular move, the board members
said it might not be a bad idea
to sit down with the town may-
ors and discuss the issue and
hammer out an arrangement.
The board thought perhaps
a charge of $10 per capita
might be a good starting point.
Deans budget is one of
the highest (departments) in
the county. If we dont talk to
the small towns about this now,
it will probably never happen,
Supervisor Jerry Haverly said.
Rice mentioned to the
board that the county has talk-
ed about a law enforcement
levy being imposed to make
improvements to the Law En-
forcement Center, she was not
sure if such a fund could be
used to hire another deputy.
The board agreed to re-
search the matter and look at
possible options.
Power play
The county and represen-
tatives from MidAmerican
Energy continue to have dis-
cussions about a 345-kilovolt
power transmission line that
will be running north to south
across Humboldt County.
At Mondays meeting,
MidAmerican Project Man-
ager Steve Ambrose spoke to
the board again about the proj-
ect. The board also heard from
Assistant County Engineer
Ben Loots about the second-
ary road department concerns
about overhanging lines in the
county right of way.
The county led an objec-
tion to the project in a June
10 letter to the Iowa Utilities
Board (IUB). In the letter,
Humboldt County Engineer
Paul Jacobson seeks clarica-
tion regarding conicts with
future construction and main-
tenance in the roadway.
Jacobson notes that the pro-
posed monopoles are not in the
county right of way, thereby
freeing MidAmerican of any
nancial responsibility, if a
road was required to be wid-
ened and the poles had to be
relocated.
Jacobson notes that Corn
Belt Power Cooperative has
some power poles located in
the road right of way, so they
have a partial responsibility
in cases of roadway conict
costs.
Ambrose reiterated the
highlights of the project, not-
ing that all of the old two- and
three-pole structures will be
removed and replaced with
single-pole structures located
on private property. He said
the new line design will re-
sult in a signicant increase in
line to ground clearance, ap-
proximately 15-16 feet higher
at each structure compared to
the existing poles and lines.
He said there will be 20-25
percent fewer poles placed
along the route than the exist-
ing setup.
He reported that pole loca-
tions at 170th and Quebec Av-
enue and at 250th Street and
Penn Avenue have been moved
out of the road right of way
and located further from resi-
dences on an alternate route.
The route that parallels
Humboldt County roads is
about seven miles with only
a few farmsteads and proper-
ties along the route. Ambrose
reiterated that the routing is in
accordance with state of Iowa
requirements and customary to
locations in other areas of the
state.
Our concern is for the fu-
ture construction and mainte-
nance of the road. We would
like the poles placed in the
county right of way rather than
ve feet off. The overhang
of the line limits us in doing
work, Loots said.
He noted that the seven
miles along county roads in
Humboldt County is more
than any other county in the
120-mile transmission project.
Most are only one mile or
less, he said.
From what I can see, there
is a nine-foot clearance. If we
need to get a backhoe in to x a
draining intake, can they work
with that clearance and can we
nd a contractor that wants to
do it, Supervisor Rick Peder-
sen remarked.
Its a good deal with taller
poles, less poles and a higher
voltage line, we just want to
make sure there is clearance to
do work, Pedersen stated.
Haverly said he too would
like to see clarication from
the IUB on costs of mainte-
nance and repair to roads if
poles need to be relocated.
While it was mentioned
at last weeks meeting that
chances of expansion that
would impact rural roads
would be slim to none,
Loots mentioned that County
Road P-59 in Beaver Township
could be one such road.
Ambrose suggested in such
cases, road expansion is usu-
ally to the road right of way
opposite to where the power
pole is located.
After some discussion,
Ambrose said MidAmerican
would be willing to work with
the county on shared costs in-
curred in the event a roadway
had to be expanded, and would
also be willing to coordinate
with the county and Midland
Power Cooperative in de-
energizing lines when road or
drainage work is necessary in
the area where poles and lines
are located.
Ambrose said the tax rev-
enue the county would gener-
ate out of the project would
be approximately $250,000
per year. He said easements
have been secured with 100 of
101 landowners in Humboldt
County, with the only excep-
tion being a decreased land-
owner with no heirs. MidAm-
erican is seeking the easement
for that parcel to be taken by
right of eminent domain.
We are in no way, shape
or form opposed to the project.
We just have the concerns that
have been outlined, Supervi-
sor Carl Mattes said.
The board agreed to amend
its original objection, stat-
ing that it is not opposed to
the project, but would like
included in the proposal the
placement of poles on the
county right of way for pur-
poses of cost sharing for fu-
ture improvements related to
the maintenance and repairs
of county secondary roads and
drainage structures.
The board approved the
amendment by a 4-0 vote.
In other action the board:
Approved a contract with
W&H Cooperative for scal
2015 fuel handling and deliv-
ery. The board approved the
delivery of an estimated 7,500
gallons of gasohol for a deliv-
ery and handling charge of 10
cents per gallon, an estimated
12,000 gallons of No. 1 diesel
fuel for a delivery and han-
dling charge of 12 cents per
gallon and the purchase of an
estimated 53,000 gallons of
No. 2 diesel fuel at a delivery

Could You Afford to Live to 100?
Heres an interesting statistic: Over the past three decades,
the centenarian population in the United States has grown
about 66 percent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Of
course, this doesnt necessarily mean that you have a good
chance of living to 100 but the possibility may not be as
remote as it once was. In any case, if you do plan to retire in
your mid-60s, and you are in good health, you may well have
two, or even three, decades ahead of you. To enjoy this time
to the fullest and to help prevent the possibility of outliving
your nancial resources you will need to invest for income
and growth throughout your retirement years.
As a retiree, how much income do you need from your in-
vestments? Theres no one right percentage for everyone.
Furthermore, you shouldnt have to rely solely on your invest-
ment portfolio, because you may have other sources such
as Social Security and potentially your employer-sponsored
retirement plan from which to draw income. Nonetheless,
your investments can play a big role in providing you with the
income youll need during retirement.
Many retirees depend on xed-rate investments for a good
portion of their retirement income so its a real challenge
when interest rates are low, as they have been for the past sev-
eral years. Consequently, when you retire, youll certainly need
to be aware of the interest-rate environment and the income
you can expect from these investments. Longer-term xed-rate
vehicles may be tempting, as they typically offer higher rates
than shorter-term ones, but these longer-term investments may
have more price uctuation and ination risk than shorter-term
investments. Ultimately, youll likely need a balance between
short-, intermediate- and long-term xed-income investments
to provide for a portion of your income in retirement.
While its important to invest for income, you cant ignore
the need for growth because you wont want to lose pur-
chasing power to ination. As you know, weve experienced
quite mild ination recently. But over time, even a low rate
of ination can seriously erode your purchasing power. To il-
lustrate: If your current monthly costs are $3,000, they will be
about $4,000 in 10 years with only a 3 percent annual ination
rate. And in 25 years at that same rate, your monthly costs
will have more than doubled, to about $6,200. To help protect
yourself against ination risk, you should consider having at
least some investments that offer growth potential, rather than
only owning xed-income vehicles. And some investment ve-
hicles, such as dividend-paying stocks, can offer both growth
potential and current income. In fact, some stocks have paid,
and even increased, their dividends for many years in a row,
giving you not just income, but rising income. (Keep in mind,
though, that companies are not obligated to pay dividends, and
can reduce or discontinue them at any time.)
To determine the right mix of growth and income vehicles
for your individual needs, consult with a nancial advisor who
is familiar with your retirement plans, your risk tolerance and
your family situation. And it may well be a good idea to plan
for a very long retirement. You may not live to be 100 but
it would be a good feeling to know that you could afford to do
so.

Flash ooding in the morn-
ing hours of Tuesday, June 17,
contributed to a single-vehicle
trafc accident north of Bode.
According to the Hum-
boldt County Sheriffs Ofce
(HCSO) report, a 2004 Ponti-
ac Vibe driven by Jessica Kay
Kellner, 22, Bode, was north-
bound on County Road P-30,
about one mile north of Bode.
Trulner Creek was out of
its banks and water was run-
ning across the roadway.
Kellner lost control of the ve-
hicle when trying to navigate
through the water. The car was
taken to the east shoulder and
then washed into the east ditch
by the current. The ditch was
lling with water at the time of
the accident, reported at 7:46
a.m.
Kellner managed to escape
the car and received assistance
from a passing motorist. She
was not injured.
There was water and front
passenger side disabling dam-
age to the Pontiac in the esti-
mated amount of $5,500.
Kellner was not cited in
connection with the accident.

and Jim and Diane Arndt and
their sons, Jack and Carson of
Humboldt, during their vaca-
tion visit to Washington, D.C.

the opportunity to meet face-
to-face, hear concerns, and an-
swer questions from Iowans.

By Marilyn Dodgen
(Historical research by Pat
Baker and Martha Schmidt).
Four months into 2014, the
number of res across the state
have been signicant. The re-
cent re in Des Moines with
the burning of the downtown,
historic Younkers building is
still being felt by businesses
across and down the street
from the excessive heat from
that re.
Looking back through the
history of Humboldt County,
there have been devastat-
ing res in Livermore, Thor,
Gilmore City, Rutland, Hardy,
Renwick, LuVerne and Hum-
boldt, dating back into the mid
to late 1800s.
Local historians Pat Baker
and Martha Schmidt have
found early newspapers that
thoroughly detail many of
those res. Livermore suffered
two major res, almost 10
years apart that preceded the
moving of the entire business
district from its original loca-
tion on the north side of the
railroad tracks, up the hill sev-
eral blocks to the south, where
it is today.
According to one dramatic
reporters coverage in the
Independent of Dec. 28, on
Sunday, Dec. 24, 1882, Liver-
mores main street was devas-
tated by the re-end, whose
aming torch nearly annihi-
lated the ourishing village. In
the black wreaths of smoke and
the jumping, ickering ames
that danced in diabolical glee,
over the ruin and desolation, it
needed not much imagination
to see gnomes and demons of
destruction enjoying the work
of their hands. His full report
is worth reading.
Fire! Fire!!- these were the
words that aroused our citizens
on Sunday morning last, about
4 oclock a.m. The re started
in the butcher shop and was
well under way before anyone
discovered it. All attempts to
put it out were futile, and in
a few moments, Meaghers
store was ignited and so rapid
was its progress that nothing
was saved in the upstairs and
a large amount of the store
downstairs was consumed.
Miss Meagher barely escaped
with her life from the apart-
ment upstairs.
For a long time it was
thought that the saloon build-
ing might be saved but not-
withstanding all the efforts of
the people, it soon caught re
all recognized that the whole
row would go, to the corner.
All of Hollenbecks household
goods perished in the ames
and but little was saved from
the saloon.
Most of the goods from the
nearby stores were carried out
but in such haste that a great
damage was done to the stock.
There were four families be-
side Meagher and Hollenbeck
living over the stores, includ-
ing this correspondent, who
were able to get most of their
goods out, although badly
damaged.
There were eight buildings
burned, and it is fair to say
that the loss on the buildings
alone is about $10,000, with
insurance of about $3,000. The
damage on stock and house-
hold items came to another
$10,000, with around $7,000
insurance. except for Mr.
Earley, who we understand
was fully insured. Some of
the stock was insured so as to
cover more than the loss, while
others fell far short. James
Goddard, G. C, McCauley, J.
M. Meagher and Hollenbeck
are the biggest losers.
The cause of the re is un-
known, but there are many cir-
cumstances that point to incen-
diary. If so, this is the ends
second attempt, and it is our
opinion that hanging is too
good for him and were he now
known, we doubt if he would
live long enough to be hanged.
As in the case of every large
re, there were some very
much excited, and as soon as
they got their arms lled with
rescued goods, they would get
scared and run for home. As
they regained their courage,
they would go back to the re
and move more stock.
In commendation of the cit-
izens of our town, those who
had homes left, threw open
their doors to the suffering
and homeless and did all they
could to help lighten the bur-
den of those aficted.
Another major re occurred
in July of 1890. Mother Nature
had to accept full blame for
this one. A erce storm, one
that today would be called a
cyclone or straight wind, blew
in the overnight hours, ignit-
ing a re in the coalhouse of
the St. James Hotel. Winds
of ferocious velocity quickly
spread the ames up and down
the main street and beyond.
The cry of Fire shook
residents out of sound sleep,
especially the people asleep
in the hotel. Most ed with
only the clothes on their backs,
several in night wear. People
came from warm beds from
nearby residences, lining up to
carry water to the many res
the wind ignited. Total dam-
age was unbelievable as sparks
and embers blew across town,
igniting bundles of straw and
anything ammable along its
path.
The ames spread across
the street quickly engulng
Turners Livery barn, the St.
James barn, Ells livery and
to Reeves blacksmith and ma-
chine shop where horses and
a few carriages were saved as
the buildings melted before the
horried eyes of the helpless
re volunteers and spectators.
Within blocks, paint blis-
tered on outside siding and
homeowners fought to keep
blowing embers from igniting
their buildings. Another prob-
lem, as the strong winds con-
tinued to blow was the blind-
ing dirt surrounding them. Few
residents and businesses had
full or any insurance coverage
and the losses were unimagi-
nable.
Village residents proved
to be a tough lot as most an-
nounced plans to rebuild be-
fore the ashes cooled. Most
businesses re-built to the south,
uphill to where the commer-
cial area is now located. Many
wells were dug so if another
re took place, there would be
a source of water nearby.
Some 80 years later, in more
modern times, a major re de-
stroyed the Sawyer Super Val-
ue grocery on Oct. 13, 1971.
The dispatcher of the Hum-
boldt Police Department was
notied by phone of the re,
at 5:22 a.m. Fire departments
from Livermore, Humboldt
and Bode fought the blaze that
had a good start causing total
destruction of the store.
Fireghters were able to
prevent the re from spread-
ing to nearby buildings. The
grocery store building was
formerly the John Deere Farm
Equipment Sales until being
occupied as a grocery since
1948. Fire was thought to have
started in the back of the store
where motors and refrigera-
tion equipment were located.
Sawyers was the only gro-
cery supply business in Liver-
more. Later, with no empty
buildings available, banker
Robert Wilson and a business
friend, John Rowles of Fort
Dodge, had a building con-
structed to house a new gro-
cery store.
Arnold
The town of Arnold, north-
east of Humboldt, had a re in
December of 1901 that took
out the building where the post
ofce and telephone ofce
were located. The late Bernice
Smith recalled a re at her fa-
thers (Bradley) store. When
word got to him in Humboldt,
he hopped a train in Humboldt
to get to the re on Arnolds
main street. It is thought that
that re was started when
someone was candling eggs.
The re also destroyed a grain
elevator. The town of Arnold
no longer exists.
Renwick
Renwick had a devastating
re on Nov. 15, 1911, that
took out more than a half block
of buildings on Main Street.
Thor
On May 8, 1934, re took
out one entire side of Thors
Main Street.
Gilmore City
Gilmore City suffered a
devastating re in 1943, when
their grade school/high school
burned to the ground, taking
the life of their English teach-
er, Beulah Edginton.
Buildings all over town
were used to house classes and
a large building from the old
World War II Prisoner of War
Camp in Algona was moved to
Gilmore City for more school
room space.
LuVerne
LuVerne has lost three ele-
vators to re as well as a hard-
ware business on the east side
of their main street.
Hardy
Hardy had an elevator ex-
plosion in 1971 that blew out
windows downtown, causing a
lot of damage.
Rutland
In Rutland, in 1976, a ma-
jor re on their main street de-
stroyed the Tille Building that
housed a variety of businesses
including a hotel, a pool hall, a
grocery store and the Gregory
Hardware store.
Dakota City
Dakota City lost Todds
Cafe to re in 1997.
Humboldt, being the larg-
est town in the county, expe-
rienced quite a number of bad
res. Around the turn of the
century, major res included
the Russell Hotel (Russell had
so many questionable res that
the insurance companies re-
fused to cover him) with sev-
eral businesses to the west that
were attached to the hotel. An-
other re destroyed the opera
house. Wood-framed buildings
were always vulnerable to re.
On Christmas Day of 1948, a
good portion of the south side
of downtown on Sumner Av-
enue, between Taft Street and
6th Street, from the American
Legion building, where the re
stopped, thanks to a re wall.
There was damage in the Le-
gion Hall but the building sur-
vived. The re stopped at Lane
Clothing (now Hjelmeland
Flooring.
The buildings destroyed
were two story with apart-
ments and many families were
left with no place to live. Fire-
men fought the blaze in sub-
zero temperatures. Clark Lane,
who was a teenager then,
helped his mother distribute
warm gloves and stockings
to the remen throughout the
long day.
Six businesses were de-
stroyed including the Coast-
To-Coasts two buildings; the
Jensen Paint Store; the McEn-
taffer Jewelry; Bowen Ben
Franklin Variety Store; and
part of the American Legion
building.
Mabel Molander Erickson,
105, one of Humboldts oldest
citizens, got her wheelchair-
bound husband out of their
Legion Building apartment to
safety and was able to save
most of their photography stu-
dio equipment. After the re,
she set her studio up in the
front, west corner on the main
oor and the room still has
the stairway to the basement
where she had the darkroom.
She said that the front window
had a thick layer of ice on it
the rest of the winter.
Other businesses in the Le-
gion Building were the Mo-
lander Beauty Shop; W. H.
Smith Real Estate; Fred Nel-
son Watch Repair; Dr. Arents
medical ofce; Dr. Wood-
wards Dental ofce; Bert
Neals Barber Shop; Stanley
Nelsons Insurance; and Jack
Russells Radio Shop.
It was thought that the re
was caused by a furnace ex-
plosion in either Jensens Paint
Store or the Coast-To-Coast.
Research shows a lot more
major res in businesses in
Humboldt. The list includes:
Bowlmor Bowling Alley and
the City Clerks ofce, located
in that building at 509 Sum-
ner Ave., in 1951. The theater
on the west and the Masonic
Temple on the east received
only smoke damage due
to re walls; The Anderson
Lumber Co. (located where
the Law Enforcement Center
is) and the Lindhart Chevro-
let next door to the east, were
destroyed (July 1956); also in
the late 1950s, re destroyed
the Glass Craft Boat Compa-
ny, located on the north edge
of Humboldts city limits.
Codys Market on the cor-
ner of First Ave. North and
North 8th Street burned in
1969; Johnnys Steak Har-
bor, located on the north city
limits, burned to the ground
in 1963; The Star Restaurant
and Lounge burned in 1979;
The Sportsmans Lanes and
Lounge burned in 1979; Crest
Pack burned in February of
1983 The All Star Restaurant,
on Johnston Hill burned May
12, 1987; and the Farmers
Coop Elevator burned in 1995.
The last major commer-
cial re in Humboldt was on
March 6, 2114, when re gut-
ted the interior of Pasquales
Italian Restaurant, located on
Broadway and Hwy. 169. The
restaurant was re-built and
opened for business on July
31.
Most of the res took place
in the winter months and fur-
nace malfunctions and faulty
electrical wiring were often
the cause.
From bucket brigades to
modern re ghting equip-
ment, Humboldt is now pro-
tected by 21 volunteer re-
men. They include Chief
Tony Hosford, Jim Gronbach,
assistant chief; Russ Seiler,
secretary; Gary Millang, Jeff
Feaster, Matt Newton, Lyle
Gronbach, Tom Dewinter,
Lance Dewinter, Kim Jensen,
Chris Ubben, Matt Ubben,
Chris Clarken, Josh Harklau,
Kent Clendenen, Dana Jensen,
Monte Vitzthum, Steve Illg,
Austin Vitzthum, Jeff Bowden,
and Rick Stein.
Their new rehouse is locat-
ed on Hwy. #3 and they moved
in in March of 2012.
Firemen today are well
trained and are fortunate to
have modern, up to date equip-
ment. Humboldt County can
be proud of the many volun-
teers that kept it safe in the
past and will continue to keep
it safe in the future.

Humboldt County Memori-
al Hospital (HCMH) considers
itself fortunate to have lled
two positions of its manage-
ment team with qualied can-
didates who have many years
working in a health care set-
ting.
The hospital recently an-
nounced the hiring of Heather
Shaull as the Chief Financial
Ofcer (CFO) and Victor By-
croft as the Chief Nursing Of-
cer (CNO).
Shaull started her duties
on May 28, and Bycroft be-
gan working at the hospital on
June 2.
Shaull comes to HCMH
with more than nine years of
health care ex-
perience. She
served as the
accounting di-
rector and later
the patient -
nancial services
coordinator at
the Jefferson
County Health
Center in Fair-
eld for most of
the last decade.
Prior to that,
Heather worked
in both public
and private ac-
counting disciplines and also
had experience in nancial ac-
counting for non-prots.
The Jefferson County
Health Center in Faireld is
similar to HCMH in that it
is a critical access hospital,
licensed for 25 beds, with a
number of specialty out-pa-
tient services.
Shaull says her duties were
similar to some of the things
shell be doing at HCMH as
well.
I presented the hospital
nancial report to the board
of trustees, and as accounting
director, I helped on making
decisions about purchases and
capital projects.
As the patient nancial
services coordinator, I was in
charge of all revenue cycle
reporting for patient services,
and worked with the health
information director on bill-
ing procedures and policies
and making sure the inow of
money was being directed to
the proper accounts, Shaull
said.
Shaull said the CFO open-
ing at HCMH dovetailed per-
fectly with her professional
and personal ambitions.
My job aspiration has
been to become a CFO at a
hospital. Getting closer to my
home was an added benet.
Heather hails from Latimer
in Franklin County, just an
hour east of Humboldt.
She has a longtime inter-
est in accounting and working
with numbers.
Heather earned her bach-
elors degree in accounting
from the University of North-
ern Iowa in Cedar Falls, and
obtained her masters degree
from St. Ambrose University
in Davenport.
Thanks to satellite learn-
ing with on-
line classes,
Shaull was
able to obtain
her masters
while work-
ing full-time.
Shaull said
she looks for-
ward to pro-
viding the ac-
counting for
the HCMH
Ambul a nc e
Service and
Public Health,
two depart-
ments that were not part of the
hospital structure in Faireld.
She also looks forward
to the afliate relationship
HCMH enjoys with Unity
Point Health and Trinity Re-
gional Medical Center.
Heather is currently com-
muting from Franklin County
and looks forward to moving
here with her husband, Der-
rick, and 3-1/2-year-old son,
Quentin.
I cant wait to check out
day cares and pre-school and
the pool, she said.
In their free time, the fam-
ily enjoys hobbies like travel-
ing, pyrotechnics and ziplin-
ing.
I want to make a differ-
ence, Shaull said. I want to
take whats been done, imple-
ment my skills and knowledge
to the best of my ability and
make it even stronger.
Victor Bycroft
From a prestigious position
in the military to helping save
lives in an emergency room,
Victor Bycroft, HCMHs
new Chief Nursing Ofcer,
has a wealth of experience
in making critical, impactful
and caring decisions that are
outcomes-driven and patient-
centered.
The Illinois native has
modeled his professional ca-
reer in the Midwest, and after
a one-year absence, is very
pleased to be back in Iowa.
This looked like a great op-
portunity to work with a group
of people who are very con-
cerned with the needs of the
hospital and its patients. What
I sensed from the interview
process is this is a very unied
team, Bycroft said.
Victor was a medic in the
U.S. Army and was part of the
volunteer group selected as the
Presidential Honor Guard for
the inauguration of President
George H.W. Bush, the 41st
president of the United States,
in January 1989.
I was on duty to stand
by if needed. I remember sit-
ting in Ceremonial Hall from
5 a.m. to 7 p.m. that day with
my gun and my medic bag.
My number one mission was
to provide emergency care of
dignitaries at the ceremonies,
as well to protect any strategic
areas in Washington, D.C. in
the event of a crisis during the
inauguration parade and cer-
emony, Bycroft said.
His work as a medic in the
Army strengthened his resolve
to become a nurse.
He attended nursing school
and obtained his bachelor of
science degree in nursing from
Blessing-Rieman College in
Quincy, IL.
He worked as a trauma
nurse at the regional hospital
there. Quincy is a city of about
45,000 along the Mississippi
River in western Illinois. At
the same time, he obtained his
liberal arts degree from nearby
Culver-Stockton College in
Canton, MO.
During the next 12 years,
Bycroft worked for three other
critical access hospitals.
He served as director of
education and later chief
nursing ofcer with a hospi-
tal in Monmouth, IL, and in
2008, accepted a position as
chief nursing ofcer with the
Shenandoah Medical Center,
working there ve years.
For the past year, Bycroft
has worked as the CNO at Het-
tinger, ND, a small rural hospi-
tal in southwest North Dakota,
close to the borders of South
Dakota and Montana.
Bycroft said the hospital
in Shenandoah is similar to
HCMH. It is a 25-bed critical
access hospital. One differ-
ence is the Shenandoah hospi-
tal has an OB unit.
Bycroft says HCMHs af-
liation with the Unity Point
Health network is a change for
him, as the other systems he
has worked for have been in-
dependent medical centers.
That was an attractive part
of the package. If you look
at the changes in health care,
its going to be a struggle for
small, rural hospitals to make
it on their own. Having the
backing and resources to keep
things going and provide the
services our patients need, is
important, Bycroft said.
He said there is a big dis-
tinction between being a direc-
tor of nursing and being a chief
nursing ofcer.
Being a director of the
department, your job is being
responsible for the nursing
department primarily. You are
concerned with overall patient
care but the sphere of inuence
is typically smaller and nurs-
ing centered.
The CNO on the other
hand, has the global hospital
responsibility and has a much
greater inuence and impact
on other areas of the hospital
and patient care, Bycroft said.
Our goal as nurses is to al-
ways do whats best for patient
care.
Bycroft said he is excited
to be working at HCMH, and
sees opportunities for growth
and service.
We have a beautiful sur-
gery department and are re-
cruiting a general surgeon.
Thats a wonderful opportu-
nity, and if we grow that ser-
vice line it ties into ancillary
services in laboratory, radi-
ology, physical therapy and
other areas. We have a won-
derful facility here with space
to increase patient numbers,
Bycroft said.
While there are limits to
critical access hospital care,
partnering with and having ac-
cess to an acute care hospital
20 miles away also provides
benets.
There are things a hospital
like HCMH can do as well or
better than a larger hospital. A
big selling point is that people
know those who are caring for
them. They are their friends
and neighbors, Bycroft said.
With visiting specialists
and out-patient clinics, there
are a lot of specialized medical
treatments people can get right
here in their hometown.
Bycroft said he is avail-
able to work in the emergency
room in a pinch.
I like to consider myself
a practicing nurse, not just an
administrator, Bycroft said.
Victor will be completing
his masters degree in health
care administration this sum-
mer.
Another reason Victor is
excited to be back in Iowa is
big game hunting. In Iowa, big
game means deer Victors
weapon of choice is a bow.
Victors wife, Leigh, is
also a nurse. The couple has
one son, Aysah, who will be
a freshman at Humboldt High
School this fall.
We are lucky to have Vic-
tor and Heather join our team
and our community. They both
bring experience and expertise
that will serve us all extremely
well, HCMH Chief Executive
Ofcer Jim Atty said about the
new management team mem-
bers.

Test scores are on the rise
and thats good news in the
Twin Rivers School District.
During a regular monthly
meeting on June 17 in Bode,
elementary principal Don
Hasenkamp reported student
achievement test scores in-
creased notably during the
2013-14 school year.
School Superintendent Greg
Darling noted the progress.
We have made dramatic
gains this past year. We av-
eraged in the 80th and 90th
percentile of prociency in
reading, math and science,
Darling said. Students have
made tremendous gains.
We appreciate the dedica-
tion and efforts of our teach-
ing staff and Mr. Hasenkamp,
Darling said. Its really good
to see those gains. Also the
parents deserve some praise.
The growth was up by 10-20
percent for some students.
Thats tremendous.
Several action items were
on the boards agenda for the
night, including approval of
three teachers to assist the dis-
trict through the Teacher Lead-
ership program which begins
this year.
Tricia Gargano, preschool
teacher at TR, was approved
for a mentor position while
Rachelle Mau, a teacher at
Taft Elementary in Humboldt,
was approved as a TL technol-
ogy integrationist and Lucinda
Boyd was approved as a TL
instructional coach (general).
Rachelle has her masters
degree in education technol-
ogy. Lucinda has already start-
ed working with staff on AIW
(Authentic Intellectual Work)
and Tricia will work with men-
toring, Darling said.
Recently I was visiting
with Ryan Weiss, department
head with the state on the
Teacher Leadership program
and he was impressed with
the fact that TR and Hum-
boldt were the only schools on
consortium to be approved to
receive grant money this rst
year to begin the program,
Darling said. He wants to
visit us and see how it is work-
ing.
Darling was pleased to re-
port that the districts food
program is no longer in a
negative spending ba lance. He
credited sharing with Hum-
boldt in making the program
solid nancially.
This is the rst time in over
12 years that the account has
not nished the year in the
red, Darling said. It has to be
self-sufcient and buying bulk
with Humboldt has saved us
money.
The board also reviewed a
preliminary report from the
State Department of Educa-
tion on the site visit conducted
last winter. While the nal
report hasnt been received,
Darling said the preliminary
report indicates some minor
policy wording changes and
additions. Our summary re-
port should arrive in the next
couple of weeks.
In personnel items, the
board approved the resignation
of Carol McKenna as route bus
driver and Mary Haverkamp as
Art/TAG teacher.
The board also:
approved the open enroll-
ment request of Lincoln Zinnel
from Twin Rivers to Humboldt
for 2014-15.
approved a bid from Dean
Foods for the purchase of
milk products for the 2014-15
school year.
approved a bid from Bim-
bo Foods to purchase bread
products for 2014-15.
approved registration and
lunch fees for the 2014-15
school year.
approved the purchase of
LP gas from K & H Coop of
Wesley at $1.36 per gallon.
approved the rst reading
of policy series 407.1 to 409.2.
approved the second read-
ing of policy series 405.1 to
406.6.
approved the third and -
nal reading of policy series
403.1 to 413.2B on employee
guidelines.
reviewed potential dates
for the July meeting but took
no nal action.

Arts festival chairpersons
Stacy Wempen and Carrie Spell-
meyer opened the ninth annual
Humboldt Arts Festival on Satur-
day, June 14, at John Brown Park.
KHBT had a live broadcast
by Zach Denzer and Kathi Black
using the new sound system pur-
chased with grant money provided
by the Humboldt County Commu-
nity Foundation.
The Humboldt County Com-
munity Foundation Board is a
charitable public foundation es-
tablished by community stake-
holders for the purpose of improv-
ing the quality of life in Humboldt
County by initiating programs,
coordinating resources, and sup-
porting organizations that en-
hance education, community bet-
terment, arts and culture, health,
and human services.
Their mission reects the
Humboldt Area Arts Councils
(HAAC) vision to bring opportu-
nities for the integration of the arts
into the everyday lives of youth
and adults alike.
The expression of art will be
encouraged by dedicated volun-
teers and staff with the growth and
sustainability of the council, de-
pendent upon community support
and fundraising.
The HAAC provides a re-
newed sense of connectivity to an
already bountiful artistic commu-
nity.
Festival participants were able

Artisitc expression on display at annual Arts Festival
By Phil Monson
A master contract with certied
teaching staff was approved by the
Gilmore City-Bradgate School
Board last week.
In the boards regular monthly
meeting held on June 17 in Gilm-
ore City, the board approved a
two-year salary package, which
calls for a three percent increase
in 2014-15 and ve percent in
2015-16.
The board also approved sup-
port staff contracts for the 2014-
15 school year. School Super-
intendent Jeff Herzberg said the
percentage of increases ranged
from two to ve percent.
After conducting a review, the
board is expected to nalize a new
contract for Herzberg in July.
Herzberg also heads the Area
Education Agency, which also
splits a contract with GC-B for
the services of GC-B principal Val
Jergens.
Jergens updated the board
on summer school sessions tak-
ing place in June. The four week
sessions are being funded by the
Early Literacy grant the district
received.
That program is going well
and each week has a theme. The
kids have learned a lot and its go-
ing well. We have 38 kids attend-
ing on a regular basis out of 57 in
the building and some out of dis-
trict students attending who open
enroll elsewhere, Herzberg said.
The board took a building tour
to see where the district-run day-
care will be re-locating for the
fall. School ofcials have decided
to vacate the portable building lo-
cated north across the street.
Well move our preschool,
kindergarten and music class-
rooms to another part of the build-
ing to allow the daycare to take
over those three rooms, Herzberg
said. Theres some work that
needs to be done along with the
installation of air conditioning.
We hope to have it ready for Au-
gust.
Herzberg also reviewed legis-
lative priorities for the 2014-15
session, taken from a list of top-
ics from the Iowa Association of
School Boards.
The board also approved its in-
tent to participate in the Title One
program for the 2014-15 school
year. The actual application will
be due in the fall.
Its about $30,000 that we can
put toward paying for part of our
teachers salary, Herzberg said.
The board tabled action on
registration and lunch fees for the
2014-15 school year. Herzberg
says the matter will appear on the
meeting agenda for July.
The board approved the rst
reading of policy 603.4. As a re-
sult of the recent state site visit,
the district is required to add non-
discriminatory groups to its policy
on le.
The board approved the sec-
ond reading of policy 210.2 and
501.16. Policy 210.2 amounts to
expanding its policy denitions
on homeless children. The sec-
ond policy, 501.16, lists a change
in the meeting time for the board
starting in July. Board meetings
will be held the second Tuesday
of each month.
Herzberg led the board through
a review of the results of the site
visit conducted by the State De-
partment of Education last winter.
Most of the recommended
changes were in making changes
or additions to policy in place,
Herzberg said. One item of non-
compliance says we didnt have a
format intensive assistance plan
for teachers throughout the whole
evaluation process.
The other said we have to beef
up our SIAC (School Improve-
ment Advisory Committee) for
the future. Theyll have an addi-
tional meeting and make recom-
mendations to the board for goal
setting in the upcoming year,
Herzberg said.
We looked at the strengths,
too, and there are a variety of
things, Herzberg said. Our vi-
sioning had no recommendations.
There was a pretty strong report
that what we are trying to do with
our vision is known by the teach-
ers, the board, parents and com-
mittee that came in. So we feel
pretty good about that.
Theres not much confusion
about what were trying to get
done here at GC-B, Herzberg
said. Were excited about the vi-
sioning of our school.
The board also received a re-
port from a representative from
Gallagher Company out of Sioux
City, asking the district to pur-
chase insurance coverage for li-
ability, auto and buildings, along
with workmans compensation,
through a consortium of schools
labeled the Iowa Public School
Insurance Program.
After discussion, the board
voted unanimously to enroll in the
purchasing program. A total of 14
other schools are in the pool of in-
sured districts.
The board also discussed pur-
chasing wheelchair accessibility
equipment. They tabled action un-
til July.
We have a couple of students
who will be in our building this
year that are in wheel chairs for
a considerable amount of time,
Herzberg said.
Im going to visit Eagle Grove
High School and look at a piece of
equipment called Super Trak, that
is able to go up or down steps with
the wheel chair in it. It is a pretty
innovative piece of equipment,
Herzberg said.
We are also considering the
installation of a vertical lift in
our gymnasium for access to the
upper oor, Herzberg said. It
would also be good for people
in the community who visit who
need to get from one oor to the
next without any assistance. We
hope to nalize those purchases in
July.
The board also:
approved the purchase of a
new boiler from Gadbury Plumb-
ing out of Fort Dodge at a cost of
$28,000.
approved pre-payment of
bills for the end of the scal year,
which is June 30.
approved $500 premium pay-
ment for catastrophic insurance
coverage for 2014-15.

Effective July 1, the dis-
posal rate for regular garbage
at the landll known as the
North Central Iowa Regional
Landll charges going up
By Kent Thompson
Storms dropping 5-9 inches
of rain on Humboldt County and
higher amounts to some areas of
the north on June 16-17, 19 and
22, have many Humboldt County
residents scrambling to keep dry.
Flood warnings were issued
throughout the county as a result
of not only the June downpours
but the massive amount of water
owing down the Des Moines
River from the north. Some areas
of northwest Iowa and southern
Minnesota were reporting record
rains for intensity in relatively
short periods of time.
The city of Emmetsburg re-
ported receiving 3 inches of rain
in the span of 30 minutes on June
17.
The National Weather Ser-
vice issued a ood warning for
the East Fork of the Des Moines
River from Algona to Lotts Creek
west of Livermore and for the East
Fork of the Des Moines River at
Dakota City, or from County Road
C-26 to the Des Moines River.
Late last Thursday morn-
ing, the river at Dakota City was
reported at 19.2 feet or .8 below
ood stage. The lower level of
Dakota City Park was ooded, but
the water level has consistently
decreased since that time. The
river level at Dakota City was re-
ported at 15.9 inches on Tuesday
morning, more than four inches
below ood stage.
A ood warning was also is-
sued for the West Fork of the
Des Moines River, impacting
Humboldt, Emmet, Palo Alto and
Pocahontas counties.
In the city of Humboldt, the
West Fork of the river at the Joe
Reasoner Dam was at 13 feet late
last Thursday morning, three feet
above ood stage, which is 10
feet.
The West Fork reached a high
water mark of 13.46 feet at 10:45
a.m. on Sunday, June 22. The river
level has been decreasing slightly
since that time, with a 12.3 feet
reading late Tuesday morning.
Moderate ooding is when the
river exceeds 13 feet. Sandbag-
ging was taking place last Thurs-
day morning in the West River
Drive area of Humboldt.
Localized ooding was report-
ed in the Country Club Drive area
of Humboldt, just west of the city
limits.
Humboldt Mayor Walter Jen-
sen, City Administrator Aaron
Burnett, Sheriff Dean Kruger, As-
sistant Fire Chief Jim Gronbach
and other city employees met last
Thursday morning at Humboldt
City Hall to discuss emergency
measures.
Local ofcials advised resi-
dents to stay away from the river
during this time of high water lev-
els.
Two youths were reported
missing along the Des Moines
River in Fort Dodge early last
Thursday evening, but the boys
were later found not to be in the
river, discovered safe the follow-
ing day.
Burnett said the city of Hum-
boldt has had few issues with
ooding, despite the heavy rains
and inux of water.
We had some large pumps
in the south part of town that we
used to bypass the inux of water
into the sanitary sewer system,
Burnett said.
He reported that there is a
equalization basin at the citys
wastewater treatment plant that
is used for holding water during
high precipitation events. That
was lled up and we had to bypass
the system, he said.
Despite the large amount of
sliplining of city sewers over the
years, a certain amount of inltra-
tion and seepage into the citys
sanitary sewers is inevitable, the
city administrator said.
The Iowa Department of
Natural Resources likes to see that
you are making improvements to
your sanitary sewer system like
sliplining and replacing manholes
and improving connections, and
we have been doing those things,
Burnett said.
The city administrator said he
didnt have a good measurement
on how effective recent city in-
frastructure efforts and drainage
projects have been in diverting
water, but said in talking to resi-
dents who have been here for the
oods of 2010, 1993 and before,
inroads are being made.
I know the 15th Street North
project going from the hospital to
Liguria Foods has made a big im-
provement in the Rainbow Drive
area. I think the 11th Street North
program certainly has helped
those homes in that area. I think
the drainage projects in getting
more water in Drainage District
No. 80 diverted away from the
city has helped. A key is getting
some of the water diverted off
before you hit a saturation level,
Burnett said.
He said berms dug east of the
recycling center and behind 9th
Street South have thwarted high
water in those areas.
Another area of help this time
around was the recently complet-
ed work at the Humboldt Munici-
pal Water Plant.
Lying in the ood plain, the
plant was always susceptible to
ooding.
We put in a ood wall that
is 8-10-feet high. There was only
two inches of water in the lowest
level of the plant from the latest
episode. We used a large pump
and were able to remove the water
with little effort, Burnett said.
Also, we are better prepared.
Leroy (Clapper), city street super-
intendent, had sandbags ready and
everyone knew what they were
supposed to do, Burnett said.
County bridges and roads
Humboldt County Engineer
Paul Jacobson reported Tues-
day morning that the Berkhimer
Bridge just northwest of Hum-
boldt was still closed because of
some tree removal.
Also, the Murray Bridge and
the bridge on 170th Street west
of Bradgate were still closed, as
were some gravel roads with river
crossings and the Devine and Bor-
mann bridges in the northern part
of the county.
We opened the Foster Bridge
Monday, and the bridge where
Trulner and Lotts Creek meet
near Livermore is now open.
That bridge on Nevada Avenue
is scheduled to be replaced with
a box culvert later this year, the
engineer said.
Jacobson said there may be
water damage that caused blow-
outs behind bridge abutments and
there could be underneath damage
to bridges because of the high wa-
ter, but nothing appears severe at
this time.
Crop conditions
Angie Rieck-Hinz, Iowa State
University Extension Agronomist
for north central Iowa, headquar-
tered in Clarion, said she conduct-
ed a tour of Humboldt County on
June 17, before more heavy rains
fell that evening.
She reported a fair amount of
ooded elds and some scattered
hail damage, particularly in elds
near Rutland and to the west.
Some wind damage was also
observed, but the cornelds
will probably right themselves,
Rieck-Hinz said.
Farmers should keep a close
eye on elds where there is still
water standing, she reported.
Given the temperatures last
week and the depth of the water
in the pothole areas, plants that
are submerged for 24-48 hours or
more are not going to make it.
Farmers also need to look at
their nitrogen management plan
and the amount they have applied,
and see if another application is
advisable. If a person has a nutri-
ent management plan through the
USDA, or if you are land applying
manure and have a plan with the
DNR, please consult those before
making a decision, Rieck-Hinz
said.
Nitrogen is mobile and vola-
tile in waterlogged soils and be-
cause plants at this stage have
shallow root systems, they may
not be able to maintain that level
of nitrogen that has been applied.
Farmers will also want to ex-
amine corn and bean plants thor-
oughly for signs of stress, she
said.
Soybeans subjected to wet
conditions are more susceptible to
plant diseases like Sudden Death
Syndrome and Phytophthora root
and stem rot.
Given that it will probably be
a week to 10 days before farmers
can re-enter the elds,
they would really need
to consider the costs
and risks in replanting
beans.
Yield is only go-
ing to be 50-60 percent
of normal amounts
replanting this late.
Plus, you want soil
conditions to be good
for planting. You dont
want to plant in too wet
of soils, Rieck-Hinz
said.
She said crop insur-
ance coverage, prior
herbicide application
and considerations
about soil compaction
are all factors to be
weighed.
Corn planting is
probably not going to
be a viable option un-
less a producer is look-
ing at a corn for a silage
crop.
Rieck-Hinz said
crops in the area were
looking pretty good
prior to last weeks del-
uge. Now there are a lot
of drown out areas.
She said the rain-
fall total for Humboldt
from Jan. 1 to June 23
this year was 19.21
inches. Totals varied
greatly in north central
Iowa, with a low of
15.37 inches recorded
in Rockwell City to a
high of 35.7 inches in
Hampton.

A car/bicycle accident in
downtown Humboldt on Tues-
day, June 17, caused injuries to
a Dakota City teen and result-
ed in charges against a Hardy
driver.
The Humboldt Police De-
partment (HPD) was informed
of a car/bicycle accident that
occurred at the intersection of
5th Street North and Sumner
Avenue. The accident occurred
at 5:15 p.m.
According to the report, a
2006 Chevrolet Uplander van
driven by Erica L. Erickson,
25, Hardy, was southbound on
5th Street North. Ericksons
van was stopped at the stop-
light and was signaling to turn
west onto Sumner Avenue.
A bicycle entered the
crosswalk, operated by Anna
Dreesen, 14, Dakota City.
Erickson did not see the
bicycle and attempted to turn,
striking the bicycle and knock-
ing Dreesen to the ground.
According to the report, Er-
ickson did not stay at the scene
and render aid or answer ques-
tions, as she continued west-
bound on Sumner Avenue.
Dreesen sustained minor
injuries in the accident.
There was an estimated
$200 in damage to the Quest
bicycle Dreesen was riding.
There was very minor damage
to the right front fender of Er-
icksons van.
Erica Erickson was charged
with failure to stop; leaving the
scene of an accident and fail-
ure to yield to a pedestrian in
the crosswalk.
Police were alerted to a
single-vehicle accident that
occurred early in the morning
hours of Saturday, June 14.
The accident occurred at
3:47 a.m.
According to the report,
a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado
pickup driven by Shannon
D. Borer, 33, Thor, was east-
bound on 6th Avenue North,
when the top of his pickup
stuck the underpass below the
Three Rivers Trail, the area be-
tween Humboldt and Dakota
City known as the rathole.
The impact caused the right
front tire to come off the rim.
Borer then allegedly made a
U-turn and drove westbound
approximately three blocks on
a rim, causing damage to grass
in yards and tearing up the
roadway.
Borer was administered
an alcohol breathalyzer test
and was subsequently charged
with operating while intoxicat-
ed, rst offense, and failure to
maintain control.
He was not hurt in the ac-
cident.
Borers Chevrolet pickup
sustained disabling damage
in the estimated amount of
$3,000.
The HPD was called to a
freakish hit-and-run accident
on Friday the 13th.
The accident occurred at
approximately 12:50 p.m., on
Iowa Highway 3, near the en-
trance to the Humboldt Fire
Station.
According to the report,
two vehicles were both travel-
ing westbound on the highway.
A 1992 Pontiac Bonneville
driven by Douglas A. Prime
Jr., 17, Dakota City, was trav-
eling in the outside lane and
a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado
pickup driven by Shawn M.
Robinson, 32, Orange City,
was in the inside lane.
Robinson attempted to
change lanes but saw the Prime
vehicle begin to overtake him,
so quickly switched back.
The two vehicles did make
slight contact. The side of the
pickup Robinson was driving
brushed against the exterior
side mirror on Primes Pon-
tiac, squeezing Primes hand
between the mirror and the ve-
hicle.
The impact and injury
forced Prime to drive over the
curb and then back onto the
highway.
Prime reported it as a hit-
and-run, as Robinsons pickup
did not stop.
The HPD received as-
sistance from the Humboldt
County Sheriffs Ofce. A
deputy was able to stop Rob-
inson in Pocahontas County,
many miles from the scene of
the accident.
Robinson said he did not
realize he had struck the mir-
ror and the hand of Prime.
Prime was taken by private
vehicle to Humboldt County
Memorial Hospital for treat-
ment of non-incapacitating in-
juries.
Robinson was not injured.
There was an estimated
$4,000 extensive damage to
the Pontiac Grand Prix.
Robinsons Chevrolet sus-
tained an estimated $500 mi-
nor damage.
There were no charges led
in connection with the acci-
dent.

Dallas Clark bids
farewell as a Colt!
New Humboldt Middle School baseball
coach Justin Lillie loves the opportunity he
has in front of him.
Lillie is taking the reins of the program,
which is new in 2014. Coaching 30 kids can
be a challenge, but its one the young teacher
coach is eager to embrace.
Its been a privilege to be able to coach
here. When I got the call that I was hired, I
was pretty excited, Lillie said.
I worked with coach Thurm (Humboldt
head coach) at the high school for three
weeks in the spring and so I got to see how
he runs his program and practice sessions,
Lillie said. I do things the way he does and
I add some of the things Ive gained over the
years along with it.
Ive been playing baseball since I was
ve years old and continued to do so all the
way through high school, so Im grateful for
this opportunity, said Lillie, who was an
all-state pitcher/shortstop at Earlham High
School.
Lillie, a 2005 Earlham High School gradu-
ate, attended Iowa State University in Ames
where he walked on to the Cyclone football
team and was a starting tight end for two
New middle coach Lillie
says show them you care
Leads inaugural program
seasons. He graduated from ISU in 2010.
His rst teaching job was in Memphis, TN, a
position he held for three years, before coming to
Bode last August to take an elementary teaching
position at Twin Rivers Elementary School in
Bode.
Teaching and coaching in the inner city of
Memphis was quite an experience. You walk
through metal detector doors and police were
on duty all the time. I felt like I was more of a
baby sitter than a teacher. Constant ghts. It was
difcult to teach down there, Lillie said.
I taught sixth, seventh and eighth grades. I
changed every year. It was a tough age, Lillie
said.
I feel like if I can teach in the city of Memphis,
I can teach anywhere. Somebody told me it might
be a struggle teaching in Bode, but I havent seen
the worst of anything up here, Lillie said.
Lillie says he appreciates being back in the
state of Iowa.
I love being back in Iowa. I was always on
my wife, when are we moving back to Iowa?
I love being in Iowa and this is where I want to
be, Lillie said.
My wife, Danae, is from a real small town in
Kansas, so she is used to small town living. Shes
a farm girl so this suits her just ne, Lillie said.

went the distance on the mound
as he allowed ve hits, one walk

Looking at Clear Lakes
scores, they play tight games
and are able to nd a way to win
at the end, Thurm said. We
didnt feel comfortable all night
long with that one-run lead. We
wanted to score a couple more
for some insurance but were
unable to do it. Clear Lake does
have some very good hitters in
their lineup.
Their kid did a nice job on
the mound and mowed us down.
Right now we are getting great
pitching. Chris did a very nice
job tonight. Defensively were
making plays behind him. Of-
fensively were just lacking a
little bit of condence, Thurm
said. Were struggling a little
bit with two strikes on us and
we have to hit the breaking ball
a little better.
Were going to keep work-
ing at it. Switch some things up
preparation-wise and work our
way through it, Thurm said.

By Phil Monson
Dallas Clark exited the National Football
League the same way he entered 11 years ago
humble and down to earth.
During a special press conference held at
Indianapolis last week (June 18), Clark signed
a one-day contract to return to the Indianapolis
Colts, and then retired for good, capping a bril-
liant 11-year career in the National Football
League, including nine with the Colts.
You couldnt have written a better script for
Clark, a 1998 Twin River Valley High School
graduate who walked on to the University of
Iowa, became an All-American tight end and
eventual rst round draft choice in the 2003
draft.
From there, the story only got better as Clark
was part of a great run of Colts teams, includ-
ing a Super Bowl title in February of 2007 and
a Pro Bowl selection a year later.
Clark was introduced at the press conference
by Colts owner Jim Irsay.
Even Clark, who fought off tears throughout
last weeks press conference, couldnt have
predicted the kind of career he had in front of
him when he walked on at Iowa.
My wife told me to keep it light-hearted,
but I just dont know how to do that because
this place, these fans, and everyone mean so
much to me and my family, Clark said to an
audience, that included his wife, Karen, sons
Dane (6) and Camden (3), along with his
brothers, Dan and Derrik, his grandmother Dee
Johnson and Karens parents, Steve and Jean
Larson.
This is really special. I want to thank the
Irsay family. You changed my life back in 2003
when you chose me and my life hasnt been the
same, Clark said. Never in a million years
after that day of getting drafted would I have
thought I would be here 11 years later, talking
to everyone, thinking I made a difference. I was
just trying to do my job.
Dallas is such a great, great football player.
Really elevated the horseshoe to almost another
level when he came here. I can remember talk-
ing with Bill Polian (Colts general manager)
and Tony Dungy (head coach) on how we
were really zeroing in on him at Iowa. How
we wanted to bring him to the team to really
create matchup problems with Reggie (Wayne)
and Marvin (Harrison) already being here. He
was such a great player. Such a great man. A
playful person. A child at heart. He was such
a joy to be around. He had so much courage,
Irsay said.

HHS baseball continued from B front
One of Peyton Mannings legendary passes was being able to
drop the ball over coverage and Dallas always had the courage
to run his rout in trafc. He didnt know every ball was his but
he would go over the middle and he took some of the toughest
hits but came down with the ball and moved the chains. He really
created greatness for us, Irsay said.
It was really a blessing to have so many great players during
that era, Irsay said. Its really a great moment when you have
somebody like him come back to town. Theres no signing bonus
this time. Theres a lot more meaning behind it than numbers. By
doing this, we really want to express how much Dallas meant to
us.
As I told his grandmother who is here, as great a player as he
was, he was even greater as a person, Irsay said.
Clark, 35, the 24th pick overall in 2003, set franchise records
for receptions (427) and receiving touchdowns (46) by a tight end.
He had the highest receiving yards of any tight end in postseason
history when he had 317 yards in the 2006 playoffs during their
Super Bowl run.
The hard business side of the NFL, the salary cap, forced the
Colts to release Clark in March of 2011. He signed with the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers nine weeks later and played one season
in Tampa before signing with the Baltimore Ravens last August
for the 2013 season.
Clark retires with 505 career receptions for 5,665 yards and
53 touchdowns in 143 games.
Im a Colt and Im very lucky to say that. Theres not 31 other
teams like this. This is special, Clark said.
Former teammates Robert Mathis and Reggie Wayne were
on hand for the conference, along with retired players David
Thornton, Ryan Diem, Hunter Smith and Josh Thomas.
Clark thanked many of his past coaches and teammates, includ-
ing coaches Kirk Ferentz, Reese Morgan and Chris Doyle at the
University of Iowa, along with Dungy and former Colts offensive
coordinator Tom Moore and offensive line coach Howard Mudd.
Clark thanked the Colts fans for their unwavering support and
loyalty.
The best part was those 90-degree plus days in Terre Haute
in pre-season. After a burning two and a half hour practice, I re-
ally enjoyed going over there and talking to those people. Them
cheering. It really brought an environment that made football
fun, Clark said. People would take vacation to come and sit
under a shade tree in Terre Haute and watch us play. That was
when I enjoyed our fans. You guys are the best.
Clark became extra emotional and took a long, silent pause
when he talked about being part of a team.
I love the game of football. We dont have enough time to talk
about what these men mean to me. I cannot thank you enough.
I could spend a day talking about each person, Clark said. Ev-
eryone of you nothing but love - nothing but love. For us to
go out and do what we do there are so many people Im not
going to stand here and think I did it by myself. That would be
a boldface lie.
We have so many great men in this building that helped each
one of us keep playing and to be at the best of our ability every
Sunday, Clark said.
I want to thank Mr. Polian. He saw something in me at Iowa.
I was just trying to make the transition from linebacker to tight
end and so I was learning on the y. They saw something bigger
power the Wildcats past Fort
Dodge St. Edmond, 8-1 in an
NCC game in Fort Dodge on
June 18.
Humboldt put together two
runs in the top of the rst inning
and added four in the third and
two in the fth before St. Ed-
mond got one run on the board
in the sixth.
Humboldts 10-hit attack was
led by Nick Laing who was
3-for-4 with two RBI. Dillon
Fevold (double) and Schnell (1
RBI) each had two hits. Jordan
Edwards doubled in a run and
Brady Shelgren singled in a
run and scored. Witzke singled
and scored twice. Gus Arnold
stole two bases while Shelgren,
Fevold and Zylstra each stole a
base.
Schnells pitching record
moved to 4-1 overall on the
season with the win. He had an
ERA of 1.22 with 51 strikeouts
and three walks in 28 and two-
thirds innings.
Great performance by Bren-
den Schnell. He came out and
threw a great game. A very
efcient game. A double digit
strikeout performance. Attack-
ing early in the count. When he
wasnt striking them out, he was
getting them out on one to two
pitches. He was ahead of them
all night long, Thurm said.
Chris came in and nished
it off with a nine-pitch, three-
strikeout performance in his
one inning, Thurm said.
Offensively we jumped on
them right away and got a few
runs there in the first inning
and kept adding to it and thats
what you want to see. We have a
tendency at times to get up early
and then back off. It was good
to see the offense continue to hit
the ball and be opportunistic on
the base paths, Thurm said.

inning all but buried A-P to end
the game early.
We came out aggressively
and tacked on runs and forced
them into some mistakes.
Thats our blueprint, Wildcat
head coach Doug Van Pelt said.
Defensively we were super
sound. We did make a few
mistakes and got into a couple
of jams, walked a kid and then
got out of it. Thats what you
like to see because you are go-
ing to make mistakes and give
up base runners, but you have
to shut the door on people.
We got contributions from
everybody. Everyone did their
job and it was a good win for
us, Van Pelt said.
Humboldt 13, FC 3
Humboldt pounded Forest
City for 13 hits and Avery Ter-
williger pitched six innings of
six-hit ball to lead the Wildcats
past the Indians, 13-3 in non-
conference action in Humboldt
on June 19.
Terwilliger struck out one
and walked two. Three of the
runs were earned. Terwilliger
(3 RBI) and Beth Dufeld each
had three hits at the plate to
pace Humboldt. Halie George,
Maddie Thomas and Kelsey
Peters (triple) drove in two runs
apiece. Lauren Friesth singled
twice. Taylor Gidel and Olivia
Birdsell (RBI) each had one hit.
The Wildcats pushed across
three runs in the rst inning and
added one in the third, four in
the fourth and ve in the fth.
Forest Citys runs came in the
fth.
We had a one-hour rain
delay and so it was nice to see
the kids come back from that,
Van Pelt said. Offensively we
put a lot of runs up and that
makes playing defense pretty
easy when you can do that.
Thats the name of the game.
You want to see everybody
in the lineup doing their job,
whether its making the pitcher
throwing multiple pitches, get-
ting bunts down, and running
bases aggressively. When you
can do that, you can score runs
and be dangerous offensively,
Van Pelt said.
FDSE 11, HHS 1
Unbeaten and conference-
leading Fort Dodge St. Edmond

league at 8-0, jumped on Hum-
boldt one run in the rst inning

ing across one in the fourth.
Wildcat JV girls in 7-1 victory

Shelbie Miller pitched a three-hitter and Humboldt clubbed
six timely hits in a 7-1 victory at Algona Bishop Garrigan
Monday night (June 23) in junior varsity softball.
The Wildcats, 10-4-1 overall, 6-3 in the NCC, got base hits
from Megan Boyd (double), Olivia Birdsell, Tayla Lange,
Marie Sexe, Lizzie Tecklenburg and Miller.
Tecklenburg pitched a four-hitter over three innings and
walked just one for Humboldt in a 6-2 Wildcat victory over
Forest City on June 19 in Humboldt.
Shelbie Miller pitched one inning and allowed no runs and
struck out one. The Wildcat offense was keyed by Boyd and
Kaylee Sawyer each with one hit. Makayla Lange and Miller
each had an RBI.
Humboldt scattered seven hits and Lizzie Tecklenburg
pitched four innings of six-hit ball to lead the Wildcats past
Fort Dodge St. Edmond, 13-8 on June 18 in Fort Dodge.
Tecklenburg walked six, struck out four. She drove in a run
at bat to help her cause. Taylor McKimmey went 3-for-3 with
a double and RBI. Amaris Runia doubled in two runs. Kaylee
Sawyer singled in a run. Shelbie Miller, Tecklenburg and
Marie Sexe each drove in a run while Olivia Birdsell scored
three times. Megan Boyd stole three bases and scored three
times.
in me than I saw in myself, Clark said. Thank God I was around
such great men. I put my trust in them and they didnt steer me
wrong. Thats what truly special and why this is such a special
time. There are so many great men associated with this team.
I go from coach Ferentz to coach Dungy you cant write
something better than this. You cant make this up, Clark said.
Clark was part of a special era of Colts football when India-
napolis won an unprecedented 12 games in seven straight seasons.
They won seven AFC South division titles, two AFC titles along
with a Super Bowl.
When you have 52 men in a locker room giving everything
they have, for one goal, special things happen. For us, we were
blessed because we just went out and won, Clark said. When I
went to other places, I realized not everyone can do what we did.
The reason why it was so special is because of those teammates.
Such a great group of men who have helped shape me to being
the man I am today. We had so many great leaders, Clark said.
Ive got to thank Reggie. He worked so hard. He was leading
and he probably didnt even know it. I was just hanging onto
your coattails, Clark said. Ive also got to thank Peyton. That
man really showed you what the game of football is and how it
is supposed to be played and being accountable.
Coach Moore talked about being accountable. We were ac-
countable to each other, the coach and to the fans, Clark said.
Thats what you will always remember.
I want to thank my family. I hope Dane is old enough to
remember my playing days, Clark said. The Lord has been so
good.
Karen, thank you so much for being my rock through the
great and the bad. Weve been so blessed that theres more great
than bad, Clark said. Thank you for being so strong.
Clark thanked his grandmother, who was with him when he
signed with the Colts, and his two brothers.
I am so thankful she is with us again here today. And my two
brothers these cats are were so good being role models in high
school. Thank you for your love and support, Clark said. And
Steve and Jean, who have been a great support system for me.

Clark fought off tears when he talked about his mother, Jan,
who died suddenly three days before he graduated from high
school.
I want to thank mom who meant so much to me, Clark said.
When she died, thats when I really grew up and decided theres
more to this whole thing than myself. Thats when I kind of put a
chip on my shoulder and made me appreciate things. Thats why
I cry at this stuff.
Clark, who said his future plans are undecided, capped the
conference in his typical, humble fashion.
Ive gone through stuff that I really do cherish. That I really
do love. You dont know how long this ride lasts. Its been such
a blessing, Clark said. I cannot thank the Colts family and the
fans for all their love.
All I tried to do was do my job and make mom mostly
mom proud of me and make you guys proud of me, Clark
said. Thank you for this wonderful, wonderful closing of this
career I would have never imagined. Its been special.
So many people made it extra special. Thank you for making
this so special and helping me go to the next chapter, Clark said.

Wildcat freshman pitcher
Shelbie Miller went the dis-
tance for the Wildcats from the
throwing circle, walking ve
and allowed six earned runs.
Humboldt, which scored its
only run in the fourth, collected
ve hits as Beth Dufeld was
2-for-2 with a run and three
stolen bases. Avery Terwilliger
singled and stole a base. Halie
George also socked a pair of
singles for the Wildcats.
They had two big innings
and so the game was closer
than that. They only had three
more hits than we did but they
strung them together. We had
kids on base in the rst inning
and had other chances to score
throughout the game. You have
to play well to beat a team like
that. We can compete with them
and hopefully we represent our-
selves better when they come to
town, Van Pelt said.

Humboldt will play at Eagle
Grove on Thursday, June 26 in

The Humboldt High School
Trapshooting team participated
in the Iowa High School state
championship on May 30 in
Cedar Falls with 1,291 students
and 82 schools on hand, mak-
ing for 232 squads and 131
individual shooters.
The Wildcat Blue squad
placed 37th with a score of
442 target hits and the Wildcat
White squad was 97th with 409
target hits. The Blue squad con-
sists of Nicholas Hamand, Josie
Lonning, Michael Brock, Jor-
don York and Tyler Vought. The
White squad includes Patrick
Bailey, Caleb Daughenbaugh,
Jared Diesburg, Kyle Weinert
and Michael Miller.
Other Wildcat squad mem-
bers competing at state include
Louie Currier, Ethan Estlund,
Anthony Hamilton and Skylar
Sandven.
Brian Ernst, who serves
as co-coach of the Humboldt
squad alongside Kent Stern,
and also serves on the state
board, explains how the sport
has been rapidly growing in the
state.
The state trap champion-
ships have been a no-cut pro-
gram, unique in school sports.
Every student who meets the
basic academic and conduct
criteria can participate, Ernst
said.
At state, scores are recorded
both as a squad of ve and as
an individual. This way every
student can participate and
compete for honors. No student
is left out because they dont
have enough shooters to make
a squad, Ernst said.
At state, each student shoots
100 targets. A squad of ve will
then shoot 500, Ernst said.
The Wildcat trap team has
done very well this year and
have been constantly improv-
HHS trap shoot
team competes
in state meet
ing, Ernst said. We shoot
targets in series of 25 and we
have had several students this
year break 25 straight, which
is that rst goal that proves to
themselves that it can be done,
they can do it and then move up
from there.
We have some really good
students with many shooting
in the 90s (out of 100), but the
competition is strong and it
takes almost a perfect 100 to
take the honors at state, Ernst
said.
We are very proud of our
Wildcat trap shooters. Not only
for their shooting ability but for
their conduct and safety at state
and in all of our practices and
regional shooting events, Ernst
said.
Humboldt hosted its third
annual Humboldt Invitational
on Saturday, May 17, with 55
shooters on hand from Bel-
mond-Klemme, Storm Lake
and West Bend-Mallard.
The Humbolt Blue Squad of
Michael Brock, Corey Gibson,
Josie Lonning, Tyler Vought
and Yordon York took first-
place with a score of 214.
Humboldt Gold Squad took
second with 204 points. They
include Patrick Bailey, Caleb
Daughenbaugh, Jared Dies-
burg, Michael Miller and Kyle
Weinert. Belmond-Klemme
was third with 201.
Individually, Josie Lonning
of Humboldt took rst in the
female division with a score
of 45. Kylie Burmeister of
Humboldt was second with 36
and Katherine Viegrad of Storm
Lake third at 34.
In the male division, Trey
Crouch of Storm Lake was rst
with a 47, followed by Jamin
Manus of B-K at 46 and Jared
Diesburg of Humboldt with 45.
Ernst says the sport is grow-
ing rapidly in Iowa with par-
ticipation growing 20 percent
each year. He added that the
governing body may have to
create a qualifying process
for the state meet because of
the huge growth in numbers.
There were 3,200 students from
over 100 schools in the state
participating in spring 2014.
She is a chemical engineer
with Cargill Company in Fort
Dodge. She started working
down in Memphis, which is
why I went down there. She
was able to get a different job
up here in Iowa so thats why
we moved up here, Lillie said.
My wife and I met in Deca-
tur, IL, while visiting friends.
We did the long distance thing
for three years, Lillie said.
Lillie is excited to coach
Humboldts inaugural middle
school program working with
seventh graders.
I coached high school
varsity baseball two years in
Memphis. It was a little differ-
ent down there. Theres more
emphasis on football and bas-
ketball down there, where I had
just 10 kids out for baseball in
a large inner city high school,
Lillie said. A lot different from
here, where I have 30 kids out.
My experience in Memphis
was a good learning opportu-
nity. These kids in Iowa listen
better. Its a lot different, Lillie
said.
I really enjoy teaching and
coaching at Twin Rivers and
Humboldt. Humboldt is big-
ger than my hometown, but it
has that small town feel. Good
kids to work with. They listen
to everything I say. They are
hard workers and Ive had no
problems, Lillie said.
Humboldt head baseball
coach Jason Thurm is excited
to have Lillie on board coach-
ing the program in its inaugural
season.
Justin is going to take the
middle school program and
were extremely excited about
that. Theres a lot of excitement
there at that level , Thurm said.
They will get a lot of games
in. But the thing were most
excited about having a middle
school program is the con-
sistent repetitions in practice
theyll get when they are not
playing games. Theyll be
getting quality repetitions and
quality instruction. Justin has
some head coaching experience
and so hes going to do a super
job with those kids, Thurm
said.
Lillie begins his fth year
in education in another two
months and says Bode suits
him just ne. As a teacher and
coach, he summed up his phi-
losophy that guides him each
day in working with youth.
Number one is show them
you care. If you show them you
really care and want the best for
them, and that you are here for
them youve got them. Show
them you care and theyll do
anything for you, Lillie said.
Show them you know what
you are doing. If they listen,
the tools I give them will make
them that much better, Lillie
said. But my number one pri-
ority is to let them know I care
and that Im here for them.
Thats my philosophy in the
classroom and out in the eld
coaching, Lillie said. When
you get them to know that you
care, thats important. But at
the same time, Im strict in that
I dont like any horsing around.
I have a fun side and can laugh.
Teach them theres a time to
laugh and a time to be serious.
They usually gure that out.
It always comes out that if
they know I care, the kids will
do anything for you, Lillie
said.
Lillie says fundamentals and
laying a solid foundation are the
main focus on the Humboldt
middle school program. The
team plays its games at Rotary
Field, located in Taft Park in
Humboldt.
My goal for this season is
to teach them the fundamentals
of the game of baseball. I want
them to have good fundamen-
tals. When they get up in the
high school, then they can be
more competitive, Lillie said.
You want to win games,
but the more important thing
is learning fundamentals and
getting them all to play. It can
be tough with 30 kids and only
nine positions. Fundamentals
are number one and Im here
to see to it that they get a good
baseball foundation.

The Humboldt County Board of Realtors, rep-
resented by Miranda Gonder (right), presented a
check of $750 last week to the Humboldt Special
Olympics and coach Judy Oberhelman (left). The
funds will go toward purchasing uniforms for the
local Special Olympics athletes. The outts will in-
clude slacks, a T-shirt and a hooded sweatshirt and
will be appropriate for track and eld, basketball
and bowling, the main sports in which the local Spe-
cial Olympians participate. We are very apprecia-
tive of the donations of individuals and organiza-
tions like the Board of Realtors, Oberhelman said.
With the most recent donation, the Special Olympic
athletes are within $1,000 of reaching their goal of
$4,500 to provide uniforms for all of the team mem-
bers. Anyone interested in contributing may contact
Oberhelman at Smith Real Estate and Insurance.

By Carolyn Saul Logan
Last week on Monday, about
100 antique tractors rumbled
onto the Humboldt Museum
grounds. Greg Stoebe, presi-
dent of the Historical Associa-
tion, met them at the entrance
and directed the drivers on
to Kell Mennen and George
Toyne, who managed to line
them all up without anyone be-
ing run over and with no dents
to the machines.
It is the second time that the
tractors have visited the Muse-
um and the schedule was much
the same as on the rst visit
in 2013. The drivers climbed
down from their machines,
shed their weather gear, made
checks on their machines and
then stood around talking to
each other and the visitors
Tractors at the Museum
that came to see them. Some
took the opportunity to view
the buildings that make up the
Humboldt Museum complex.
Close to noon, the rst wave of
riders drifted into the Clancy
Building for a meal served by
Vinnys of Dakota City. Bar-
becued ribs, baked beans and
xings went down well.
Interviews with the driv-
ers turned up interesting in-
formation. The tractors travel
at about 15 miles per hour.
Smaller machines that cannot
keep up the speed do a differ-
ent ride. They have enough
fuel for the days trip so they
dont have to stop to refuel
along the way.
Why putter along at such
a slow speed in all kinds of
weather? Because, stated
Jim Joynt of Clear Lake, You
really see the country. An-
other gentleman pointed out
that you also smell the coun-
try when youre on a machine
instead of inside one. All the
crops smell different, each has
its own particular smell. Corn
and beans and then there are
the farmyards and the trees
when you get into a wooded
area and the river when you
drive along it. Its wonder-
ful. You really experience the
countryside. And Iowa is beau-
tiful now.
The second reason given for
the tractor rides was the social
aspects. Everybody seemed to
know everybody and their trac-
tor and they all stood around
and talked about these things.
That guy over there, his trac-
tor is from Canada. Sure
enough, the big red rig with
the yellow wheels belonged to
Gary Wattnem of Mason City.
It is a 1952 Cockshutt 40 Stan-
dard Western. Evidently the
tractor was later produced in
the US but Wattnems is truly
Canadian.
Randy Renners tractor blew
in with ags ying and when
he was getting ready to leave,
Renner turned on his radio and
blasted out some music. It was
hard to tell if he was pulling
on his rain trousers or dancing
to the music, probably both.
Some kids joined him dancing.
Another gentleman ex-
plained how the various cano-
pies worked in the rain. In his
opinion, some did not keep the
rain off the driver but dumped
it in his/her lap. Others, the
curved ones, threw the rain out
beyond the driver. Sofas, seats
and trunks provided storage
and room for additional riders.
Eskies were de rigor. There
were a few women drivers, a
Gary Wattnem and his Canadian tractor. Submitted
photo.
Randy Renners rig. Submitted photo.
couple were driving for their
husbands who were on another
tractor.
As the weather deteriorated,
one of the leaders of the expe-
dition explained the weather
rules: Pull over for rain and
stop for lightning. For tor-
nadoes, pray. However, the
general consensus from the
drivers was to keep moving.
Evidently a moving target is
better, even if it is going less
than 15 miles per hour.
The weather continued to
threaten so there was talk of
changing the schedule and
towns visited. The second
wave of tractors left a little
earlier than planned in hopes
of missing the rain that threat-
ened and the rumored light-
ning and tornadoes. It got very
quiet out at the Museum as
the last tractor trundled away
along the exit road.
Hopefully, next year, there
will again be tractors visiting
the Humboldt County Mu-
seum. It is a movable history
feast particular to Iowa and its
farmers and their tractors, even
ones from Canada.

DALLAS CLARK
PRESENTS
SCHOLARSHIPS
At the seventh annual Dal-
las Clark Foundation Golf
Tournament and fundraiser
held a few weekends ago at
Spring Valley Golf Course,
north of Livermore, a total of
10 scholarships were awarded
to students in Humboldt and
Kossuth counties. Recipients
of those scholarships were:
Taylor Elvington of Corwith-
Wesley-LuVerne, Kyle Olson
of Humboldt, Sabrina Book
of Bishop Garrigan, Marissa
Guerdet of North Union,
Emma Plathe of Bishop Gar-
rigan, Kristen Schutter of
Algona, Jacob Braddock of
North Union, Tyler Frideres
of Algona, Cameron Lahndorf
of Algona, and Jesse Zinnel of
West Bend-Mallard.
Then on Wednesday, June
18, the former Indianapolis
Colts tight end, Dallas Clark,
a Livermore native and a Twin
Rivers graduate, announced
his retirement at the age of 35,
as a Colt from the NFL after
11 seasons during a press con-
ference that was held in his
honor in Indianapolis, IN.
Clark was the Colts rst-
round draft pick in 2003, and
he played nine seasons for the
team. Hes the all-time leader
in Colts history for catches and
touchdowns by a tight end.
Clark was released by India-
napolis in March of 2012, but
Clark went on to play one sea-
son with the Tampa Bay Buc-
caneers and spent 2013 season
with the Baltimore Ravens.
Over 143 career games, Clark
individually set Colts franchise
records in both career recep-
tions (427) and touchdowns
(46) for a tight end. Clark
caught 505 passes for 5,665
yards and 53 touchdowns. He
was one of the favorite targets
of Peyton Manning and in
2009, Clark caught 100 passes
for 1,106 yards and 10 touch-
downs. Clark was able to help
win the Super Bowl with Pey-
ton Manning in 2006 by a 29-
17 victory over the Chicago
Bears in Super Bowl XLI in
Miami.
Dallas Clark, wife, Karen,
and their two sons spend a lot
of their time at their home in
Livermore on Dallas Clark
Road. Clark said he is not sure
what the future has in store for
him but he was thankful to re-
tire as a Colt and to leave with
his health in pretty good shape.
Clarks hometown fans, say
it is very clear that Clark will
go down as one of the great
Colts in the eyes of his many
fans. All of his fans feel that
Clark was a special player and
a very special person on and
off the eld.
Coming In July, Dallas and
his brothers are also hosting a
football camp that will be held

proclamation of disaster emer-
gency for 13 additional coun-
ties in response to last weeks
ongoing storms: Buena Vista,
Cherokee, Clay, Dickinson,
Franklin, Hancock, Ida, Kos-
suth, Osceola, Palo Alto, Sac,
Woodbury and Wright.
Pocahontas County was one
of ve declared counties and
the only one in the north cen-
tral area that received the proc-
lamation on Tuesday, June 17.
The governors proclama-
tion allows state resources to
Wright, Kossuth, Palo Alto, Pocahontas
declared disaster emergency areas
be utilized to respond to and
recover from the effects of
these storms.
In addition, the proclama-
tion activates the Iowa Indi-
vidual Assistance Program for
Hancock and Kossuth coun-
ties.
The Iowa Individual Assis-
tance Program provides grants
of up to $5,000 for households
with incomes up to 200 percent
of the federal poverty level, or
a maximum annual income of
$39,580, for a family of three.
Grants are available for

ment of clothing or food, and

impacted by the June 13 and
continuing storms. The dam-
age assessments, which will
primarily cover public infra-
structure, will be conducted
jointly with HSEMD and local
ofcials. Results of the dam-
age assessments could be used

be conducted in the following
counties: Buena Vista, Chero-
kee, Clay, Dickinson, Frank-
lin, Ida, Lyon, Osceola, Palo
Alto, Plymouth, Sac, Sioux,

On the farm, you have to wear lots of hats and operate
lots of machines. So when you have ideas on improving ours,
we listen. Take our E-Series Skid Steers. You wanted easier
attachment hookup. Improved reach and height for easier
loading and unloading on mid-frame models. Optional
switchable controls for choosing between ISO, H-pattern,
and foot controls. And an auto-reversing fan that keeps
coolers free of debris. We gathered them all into these
material masters. To learn more, see your dealer or
visit our website.
YOUR IDEAS. HARVESTED.

With the recent heavy
rainstorms in our area, did
your trumpet lily topple,
snapdragons snap, or to-
matoes take a tumble?
Dont abandon your
plants to the elements.
Plants that are exposed
to windy conditions or
newer plants that do not
have a well established
root system are suscepti-
ble to falling over. Provid-
ing support allows your
plants to grow at their best
and there are several op-
tions/methods of staking
available.
Although spring is the
best time to stake plants, it
is still not too late to pro-
vide some type of protec-
tive support. Single stems,
such as lilies or delphini-
ums, may be staked with
bamboo, or better yet, use
green plastic-coated met-
al stakes, or iron rods, as
these will not rot as wood
does. Try to disguise sup-
port structures used, as to
prevent them from taking
away the beauty of your
plants.
Cages or mesh grids
may be used for multi-
stemmed, bushy plants,
such as peonies that may
lodge or fall over from
the weight of their heavy
blooms. An attractive
alternative is to create a
twig support teepee tied
together with twine.
When driving stakes
into the ground, be careful
not to damage plant roots
or bulbs. Staking shortly
after transplanting allows
you to leave enough room
between the stake and the
root system to prevent
damage.
To tie stems to stakes,
use a soft, exible mate-
rial such as twine, foam
cord, or even old panty
hose, to avoid cutting
into stems and harming
the soft tissue. Attach ties
tightly around the stake
and loosely around the
plant. Make a twist in the
tie between the plant and
the stake so the stem does
not come in direct contact
with the stake.
To prevent plants from
sliding down the stake,
secure ties with a knot
just below a branch so
that the plant cannot slip.
Remember to collect tie
materials used at the end
of the season, to prevent
nding pieces of panty
hose or other non-organic
tie materials in your gar-
den in the years to come.
Heavy rains have your
gladiolus laying at in
the garden? Glads may
be rescued by some fast
action. Carefully lift the
glad by the stem to an
upright position and gen-
tly tamp down the mud at
the stem base to return the
spike to standing pose.
Did you know? An ex-
cellent way to get new
gardening ideas is by at-
tending a garden tour or
to visit other gardens.
The Fort Dodge Feder-
ated Garden Club will be
holding their 13th annual
garden tour on Saturday,
July 5,

from 8 a.m. to 2
p.m. Tickets for the tour
are available at Becker
Garden Center in Fort
Dodge or at the rst gar-
den on the tour at 2713
21st Ave. North. Proceeds
go towards horticulture
scholarships.
For further information
on staking plants or other
gardening questions, con-
tact Yvonne McCormick
