Hear nancial
updates
By Phil Monson
Over the last 10 years, the
LuVerne and Corwith-Wesley
school districts have worked
hard to reduce spending to
maintain a viable school dis-
trict.
But bigger decisions appear
to be just around the corner for
both boards as they try to deal
with declining enrollment and
the corresponding reduction in
funding.
During a regular meeting
of the LuVerne board on Nov.
7, in which members of the
Corwith-Wesley board were
also in attendance, School Su-
perintendent Tom Fey updated
the boards on their nancial
situations.
Budgets for the 2011-2012
school year have been led
with the Iowa Department of
Education. Figures show the
LuVerne district had a positive
unspent balance of roughly
$55,000 on June 30, 2012. The
Corwith-Wesley district had
a negative unspent balance of
$124,666.
State ofcials require dis-
tricts to maintain an unspent
balance of 10-15 percent of
their total budget, which al-
lows districts to continue to
pay salaries and bills during
the months of July, August and
September when little tax rev-
enue is coming in.
Fey says projections for the
2012-13 and 2013-14 school
years dont look better and
school ofcials will have to
make some hard decisions.
We had a nice discussion
about the viability of the dis-
tricts and the future of the dis-
tricts, from a nancial sense
only, Fey told the Indepen-
dent afterwards.
Corwith-Wesley went
negative unspent balance in
scal year 2011-2012 and
LuVerne was positive. But
the year before LuVerne had
been negative (-$30,000),
Fey said. The only saving
graces we would have: 1) if
our enrollment drastically in-
creased, which its not going
to and we know that. Were
on a downward slide. 2) If the
state somehow throws a lot of
money at us, which we know
they are not going to do. 3) Or
if our expenditures decrease
signicantly.
Quite frankly, we cant cut
any more. We are offering a
good, solid program. Every-
thing the state mandates, we
offer. Any teachers we would
cut, we would nd ourselves
not offering what we are re-
quired to offer, Fey said.
There is really no where to
cut the amount of money we
would need to cut to be able
to continue long-term into the
future, Fey said.
I gave the boards some
things to chew on and we will
meet again here shortly and
talk about those things, Fey
said. I wanted to plant some
things into their heads so they
can start giving those things
some thoughts.
Im very proud of both
boards. They understand
where they are at and they un-
derstand everybody our size
around us has changed and
were about the last surviv-
ing soul of our size, Fey said.
We had a really good discus-
sion of our current nancial
situation and what we see in
the future.
Fey shared options available
for the two boards to consider.
The only options allowed
to a school district are whole-
grade share with somebody
else, dissolve the districts or
re-organization with a neigh-
bor. Those are the only three
options, Fey said.
I want to make it clear that
this is not going to happen to-
morrow. This is a few years
away at the least because there
are timelines that have to be
met and decisions to be made.
It will take a few years. But its
time the boards look at all the
nancials and look at what is
possible to continue operating
in some way shape or form
to best serve the students we
have, Fey said.
Fey, who has served both
districts on a part-time basis
over the past 12 months, says
hell continue to work with
school-wide principal James
Rotert to provide information
on options available.
Im going to get the board
some information on whole
grade sharing. The state has a
restructuring manual that the
board will have to read clearly
so they know everything thats
in there, Fey said. The next
step is becoming more in-
formed of what the possibili-
ties are.
Fey, mindful of cutting
measures the districts have un-
dertaken over the last several
years, says there is no more
room for cuts to ensure long-
term viability in offering a
K-12 program.
Wed like to be able to
sit down and try and come
up with more cuts for cost-
savings, but there are no more
cuts that we can make, Fey
said. Weve got one bus route
in Corwith. We have one cook.
One custodian. One secretary.
Weve got a couple of multi-
age classrooms where six or
eight rst graders and nine or
10 kindergarteners are in the
same room so we can have one
teacher instead of two.
Our high school teachers
are teaching full loads, but
teacher-required. If we did cut
something, we would not be
meeting state mandates, Fey
said.
The 2012 Humboldt-Dakota City Chamber of Com-
merce Lighted Christmas Parade will be on Saturday,
Nov. 17, at 5 p.m.
The parade route will begin by Northwest Bank, con-
tinuing through Sumner Avenue into Dakota City, Main
Street. It will end at the VFW in Dakota City. A free will
soup supper with Santa will conclude the evening.

It was election day in Hum-
boldt County Nov. 6, but not
all of the politicians were sit-
ting around waiting for the re-
turns.
Iowa Lt. Gov. Kim Reyn-
olds was in north central Iowa,
continuing a series of business
and industry visits around the
state.
Last Tuesdays stops were
at Hagie Manufacturing in
Clarion and Liguria Foods in
Humboldt.
Liguria is a producer of
specialty meat toppings, pri-
marily pepperoni.
Liguria Foods management
and local Humboldt County
Development Association of-
cials took the lieutenant gover-
nor on a brief tour of the plant
followed by a short question
and answer session.
Reynolds said Gov. Terry
Branstads administration has
been successful in bringing
stability back to the state. She
said the administration has es-
tablished a budget surplus and
is working toward comprehen-
sive tax reform for residential,
commercial and industrial
classes.
The corporate tax struc-
ture in the state is not competi-
tive. It needs to be revised, Lt.
Gov. Reynolds said.
If we can bring it down it
will expand and improve the
business climate for industries
like Liguria Foods.
Reynolds said the Healthi-
est State Initiative is a way to
not only improve the overall
health of Iowans, but to reduce
health insurance rates and
decrease overall health care
costs.
Thats why the governor
and I agreed to pay 20 percent
of our health insurance costs.
We want to empower Iowans
to take ownership of their own
health and dont believe tax-
payers should be on the hook
for the entire cost of state-
employee health insurance,
Reynolds said.
Another big push is educa-
tion reform. Reynolds is co-
chair of the governors STEM
(Science, Technology, Engi-
neering and Mathematics) ex-
ecutive committee.
Reynolds said there are a
lot of opportunities for two-

Lieutenant governor visits Liguria Foods
year degrees in specic STEM
areas that can aid industries
like Liguria Foods.
She asked about the labor
availability pool in the area
and if Liguria has difculties
in nding workers.
Unemployment is about
4 percent, so there has been
some issues in nding factory
labor. There is some increas-
ing competition with the new
plants opening in Fort Dodge,
Liguria Chief Financial Of-
cer (CFO) Paul Simkus said.
We are a United Food and
Commercial Workers Inter-
national Union plant and we
have a good working relation-
ship with the union and look
forward to maintaining that,
Liguria Chief Executive Of-
cer (CEO) and President Jehan
Saulnier told the lieutenant
governor.
Liguria Vice President
Gary Piearson said the com-
pany has increased its starting
minimum wage to $10.50 per
hour with sizable increases af-
ter 60 days and ve months.
People can be making $14
per hour within a few months,
Piearson said.
Business has been good
and revenue for specialty food
products has been growing,
Saulnier said.
Prices for our raw materi-
als (pork trimmings) has been
volatile, as has any animal
protein product. Thats largely
been driven by the corn price
and that has been driven by
ethanol, the CEO said.
So far, any inationary
price trends have not been met
with resistance from Ligurias
customers, largely indepen-
dent pizza shop owners, who
really favor the traditional red-
wood smoked pepperoni Ligu-
ria produces.
We just focus on our core
product and satisfying our cus-
tomers. Fortunately, a lot of
people eat a lot of pizza and
pepperoni is the number one
topping sold on pizza, Saul-
nier said.
I read where 96 to 97 per-
cent of the people in the coun-
try ate pizza within the last
year. Im trying to gure out
who the other 3-4 percent are,
the CEO joked.
We have 1.8 million
pounds of pepperoni currently
hanging in the plant, Piearson
proudly states.
We slice about 600,000
pounds per week, Saulnier
said.
We focus on providing a
better product and consistently
high service and that seems to
work, Saulnier said.

GOP takes
Humboldt County
Christianson re-elected
to Supervisors
By Kent Thompson
Election night 2012 went pretty much as expected in Hum-
boldt County, with few contested races and few surprises.
It was a good night for Republicans as Mitt Romney and
Steve King outpolled their Democratic challengers for president
and U.S. representative.
Romney defeated President Barack Obama in Humboldt
County, 3,099 to 1,967. He won by a similar percentage in Kos-
suth County. Statewide, Obama had the edge, outpolling Rom-
ney by nearly 85,000 votes, putting Iowas six electoral votes in

Saulnier said.
Well be putting in about
$2 million in capital improve-
ments this year, so its pretty
substantial, Piearson added.

Food safety emphasis
has probably been the biggest
change during my 25 years in

Reynolds concluded the
visit by thanking the Liguria
executives for their commit-
ment to the Humboldt commu-
nity and the state.
I want to thank you for
your investment and expan-
sion.

selves that keeps Iowa grow-

I would like to welcome all
of you here today for attend-
ing this very special occasion
to honor our service members
past and present and to re-
member their sacrices they
have made and the courage it
takes to defend honor, duty,
and country.
I appreciate this oppor-
tunity to speak to all of you
about something that is very
near and dear to my heart and
that is patriotism and love of
country. We are here today to
honor our heroes, to remember
their achievements, and to say
Thank You for their sacri-
ces. We are gathered here to-
day in the midst of patriots and
the family and friends of those
who have nobly served. I hope
that with this opportunity that I
have been given, you will walk
away from this public gather-
ing with renewed respect and
love for all military serving in
all capacities in all parts of the
world.
For nearly 250 years, men
and women have underwrit-
ten our freedom by their duty,
honor, and seless service.
Through these nearly 250
years we have experienced
what the author Andy Andrews
calls The Buttery Effect.
In this book Edward Lorena
presents a hypothesis to New
York Academy of Science. His
theory, stated simply, was this:
A buttery could ap its
wings and set molecules of air
in motion, which would move
other molecules of air, in turn
moving more molecules of air
eventually capable of start-
ing a hurricane on the other
side of the planet.
Of course this idea was
laughed at, and thought to be
ridiculous. It is ridiculous but
at the same time fascinating if
you stop to think about it and
apply it to our country and its
freedom. The effect when ap-
plied to our countrys history
also resembles the domino
effect. We have a history of
conict and war going back to
the Revolutionary War, Span-
ish American War, Civil War,
right up to the present day war
in the Middle East. From each
of these wars, lessons have
been learned, and the rewards
have been unique to each. But
through all of these, our free-
dom of the United States of
America has stood rm and
unwavering. Through each
and every one of these wars,
the symbol of our country,
Old Glory, has own proud
and high. For this we as proud
Americans should forever be
grateful. With the ag blowing
proudly everywhere we go it
creates that Buttery Effect
that I mentioned before, and
the effects of that ag blowing
have been felt in many places,
especially right here in our
own country.
I would like to share with
you a selection that was sent to
me by my sister this past week.
Old Glory was published in
her local newspaper and this is
how it goes:
I am the American ag.
Listen to me and Ill tell you
my story. My colors are red,
white and blue. I have a eld
of 50 stars and 13 stripes. I am
also known as The Stars and
Stripes and Old Glory. I
am honored to be in all public
places. I go to schools where
the children pledge allegiance
to me. I attend all sporting
events and stand proud and
y high as they sing my song,
The Star Spangled Banner.
I am honored when I go by in
a parade and my people salute
me.
Yes, Im the American ag.
I served under 40 some presi-
dents. I was in peace and war. I
was at the battle of Bunker Hill
and Valley Forge where I saw
the soldiers starve and freeze
to death. I was with General
Washington as he crossed the
Delaware. I was in the Civil
War where I saw father and
son, brother and brother ght
against each other to save
the Union. I was there when
they freed the slaves. I was
at Gettysburg with President
Lincoln, where in a few min-
utes he gave the most famous
speech ever heard, The Get-
tysburg Address. I went along
to the trenches in France in
World War I, the beaches of
Normandy in World War II,
the day which lives in infamy
at Pearl Harbor, the sands of
Iwo Jima, where a few soldiers
planted me in the sand to y
high with honor over them. I
was in many wars and places
with the people of my country.
The farthest distance I have
traveled is to the moon where
Im also ying high to honor
my country.
I am the American ag. I
stand for freedom, but freedom
has its price. Freedom doesnt
prevail without tyranny. I was
disgraced many a time. I was
spit on, stepped on, shot at and
burned. I saw racism and oth-
er violence in my country, but
I have overcome, for I y over
America, the greatest country
there is. A land of freedom, lib-
erty, opportunities, a place to
dream and live your dreams,
a land of bounteous blessings,
a land of milk and honey. A
land to worship your Lord and
Master. If we would just open
our eyes and hearts and be-
lieve in God and ourselves we
could move mountains. What a
great country I stand for. Im
proud of my patriots. May they
be proud of me!
I am the American ag.
I am at the boot camp where
the morning reveille is played.
I am the cover over the casket
when one of my servicemen
or servicewomen who have
served their country reaches
their nal resting place. And
Ill y high with honor while
taps are played for those who
have served their country and
have paid the price. They gave
their all so that I may y free.
Yes, I am the American ag.
May I long wave over the land
of the free and the home of the
brave.
God Bless my Country!
God Bless America! Long may
She live!
As many of you already
know, I wore a POW bracelet
during and after the Viet Nam
conict. I have had the great
pleasure of meeting and get-
ting to know this very special
veteran. What a dynamic man
he is. The rst time that I met
him, I was able to thank him
personally for his sacrice for
me and for this country. His
response was this, No thanks
needed. I was just doing my
job. This is the way it seems
to be with most veterans that
I have talked to. But I know in
my heart that even though they
have hung up the uniform, they
will always be soldiers of this
country. Their sacrices are
truly worthy of all the recog-
nition and honor that they get,
and yet they receive it so hum-
bly.
In closing I would like to
share one nal story taken from
the book Chicken Soup for the
Veterans Soul. This story was
shared by John McCain, who
as we know was a POW in Viet
Nam as well, along with my
POW. This story has to do with
the American Flag as well. Its
called Mikes Flag.
Mike was a Navy bombar-
dier who had been shot down
in 1967, about six months be-
fore I arrived. He had grown
up near Selma, AL. His family
was poor. He had not worn
shoes until he was 13 years
old. Character was their
wealth. They were good, righ-
teous people, and they raised
Mike to be hardworking and
loyal. He was 17 when he en-
listed in the Navy. As a young
sailor, he showed promise as a
leader and impressed his su-
periors enough to be offered a
commission.
What packages we were
allowed to receive from our
families often contained hand-
kerchiefs, scarves and other
clothing items. For some time,
Mike had been taking little
scraps of red and white cloth,
and with a needle he had fash-
ioned from a piece of bamboo,
he laboriously sewed an Amer-
ican ag onto the inside of his
blue prisoners shirt. Every
afternoon, before we ate our
soup, we would hang Mikes
ag on the wall of our cell and,
together, recite the Pledge of
Allegiance. No other event of
the day had as much meaning
to us.
The guards discovered
Mikes ag one afternoon
during a routine inspection
and conscated it. They re-
turned that evening and took
Mike outside. For our benet
as much as Mikes, they beat
him severely, just outside our
cell, puncturing his eardrum
and breaking several of his
ribs. When they had nished,
they dragged him bleeding and
nearly senseless back into our
cell, and we helped him crawl
to his place on the sleeping
platform. After things quieted
down, we all lay down to go
to sleep. Before drifting off,
I happened to look toward a
corner of the room, where one
of the four naked light bulbs
that were always illuminated
in our cell cast a dim light
on Mike Christian. He had
crawled there quietly when
he thought the rest of us were
sleeping. With his eyes nearly
swollen shut from the beating,
he had quietly picked up his
needle and thread and began
sewing a new ag.
This is Honor, and there are
way too many people in this
country who no longer under-
stand it.
The true soldier ghts not
because he hates what is in
front of him, but because he
loves what is behind him.
A veteran is someone who,
at one point, wrote a blank
check made payable to HIS
COUNTRY for an amount of
up to and including his life.
Again I say, God bless my
Country. God bless America.
Long may She live.

By Phil Monson
Twin Rivers technology
director Fred Johnson is step-
ping down at the end of the
rst semester.
During a regular monthly
meeting of the Twin Rivers
Board of Education on Nov.
8 in Bode, the board accepted
the retirement of Johnson, who
serves the district on a part-
time basis. Johnsons depar-
ture will be effective Dec. 21,
2012.
School Superintendent Greg
Darling says Johnson is going
to begin work in the private
sector. Darling said the dis-
trict will utilize the services of
Humboldts technology per-
sonnel.
In other action, the board
approved participation in the
Drug and Alcohol testing pro-
gram for 2012-2013.
The board also approved a
ve percent English Language
Learning contingent with the
Humboldt district, contingent
on approval by the Humboldt
board at its Nov. 19 meeting.
The board approved an ap-
plication with the State Bud-
get Review Committee for
increasing enrollment, open
enrollment out and excel LEP
costs.
The board also approved a
list of goals for the 2012-2013
school year. Prior to the meet-
ing, the board received a pre-
sentation by preschool teacher
Tricia Gargano, whose class-
room this year is now located
in the former home economics
room in the Bode school.
Gargano outlined the dis-
tricts preschool program and
gave a presentation on the
SmartBoard located in her
classroom listing the goals of
the program for students. Her
class was previously held in
the outdoor portable building,
which were abandoned, sold
and moved off the Bode school
grounds during the summer.
Principal Don Hasenkamp
reported on several topics.
Hasenkamp said students re-
ceived a bowling trip for reach-
ing their reading minute goals.
He discussed the 60-inch tele-
vision that is now in the cafete-
ria/gymnasium, which will be
used for various educational
activities for students.
Hasenkamp said the Iowa
Assessments testing are cur-
rently in process. He said par-
ent-teacher conferences went
well. He also noted fourth and
fth graders helped with the
outdoor landscaping project in
front of the school on Oct. 24.
Fencing near the play-
ground west of the school
building has been installed.
Hasenkamp also told the board
that D.A.R.E. graduation will
be Dec. 6, for fth graders.
Superintendent Darling re-
ported on AEA ow-through
money, which pays for profes-
sional development and spe-
cial education. Darling also
updated the board on certain
services the district maintains
each year.
Regulations require cer-
tain services school districts
have to comply with. Any-
thing from monitoring as-
bestos, boiler guidelines, re
extinguisher requirements.
There are a number of services
schools have to comply with,
Darling said.
The board approved the
rst, second and third reading
of an extensive list of policy
series items.

We are running on a bare

ing a great job and our test
scores prove that. But theres
no areas where we can signi-

Our kids are doing wonder-

Our scores prove that. Were

these kids are getting in grades
K-12, Fey said.
The nancial balances will
not get better for either district
in the next few years. If our en-
rollment stays the same, costs
will go up and teachers will
get a small raise. Our teachers
have been wonderful at taking
very small raises because they
want to keep the place operat-
ing, Fey said.
We have functioned and
functioned and functioned
but now it has caught up to us,
Fey said. The board will have
to look at some other possibili-
ties and make some difcult
decisions. Not immediately,
but in the years to come.
Were going to the state
School Budget Review Com-
mittee to see if we can get the
Corwith-Wesley decit taken
care of, but it is highly unlikely
they (state) will approve that.
Ive talked to the state depart-
ment of education and they
have said, you need to make
immediate cuts, or the SBRC
will not approve your plan,
Fey said. Ive told the SBRC
we cannot make any more
cuts, or we wont be meeting
state teaching standards. We
have to plan ahead as best as
we can for the next few years.
Fey and Rotert say some of
the rst changes will start with
sharing activities for the 2013-
14 school year. They have
already talked with neighbor-
ing districts about the possi-
bility of sharing activities and
some classes, but nothing has
been formally presented or ap-
proved.
We will be seeking some
sharing of activities for next
year. Thats mostly due to low
numbers of kids, Fey said.
For example, I think we only
have seven junior high boys
next year, and we play eight-
man football. Our junior high
football coach has resigned.
We dont have enough players
and we dont have a coach, so
we are going to look at sharing
of some activities.
Rotert reported on district
enrollment. LuVernes enroll-
ment has increased from 68 to
76 students over the past year.
Since the ofcial count
date on Oct. 1, we have lost
two or four students. But the
other day we had a new stu-
dent come in. I am amazed at
how mobile our society is,
Fey said.
In action items, the board
approved on-time funding for
modied allowable growth for
increasing enrollment.
When your enrollment
goes up, you can apply for
on-time funding. It doesnt in-
crease our budget, but it guar-
antees our funding is on-time,
Fey said. They dont do it for
the LuVernes of the world,
they do it for the Waukees of
the world, who see an increase
of 500 kids in one year and
they have to go out and hire
10-15 teachers to serve those
kids.
The rule is in place and we
will take advantage of it and
make the application for that
funding, Fey said.
In personnel matters, the
board accepted the resignation
of the middle school football
coach Paul Garman.
The board also accepted a
bid of $55 per hour from Mc-
Peak Excavating to provide
snow removal for the upcom-
ing winter. The board also ap-
proved payment of bills for the
end of the month, along review
of committee meeting minutes
involving the site visit the state
conducted last winter.
The last step of our site
visit from last year was our
SIAC/CTE committee meet-
ings and minutes. James
(Rotert) submitted those to the
state department of education.
That is the last ofcial step for
our site visit, Fey said.
The boards next regular-
meeting is set for Dec. 12.

Humboldt and Webster
County Emergency Man-
agement Agencies have an-
nounced that they will be
conducting a free weeklong
training academy for any-
one interested in becoming a
CERT (Community Emergen-
cy Response Team) volunteer.
The class will be training
preparation for CERT mem-
bers who will be part of a
mock mass casualty exercise
that will be held in downtown
Humboldt from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
on Saturday, Dec. 8. The mock
disaster will be a simulated gas
explosion at the Finch build-
ings, 611/613 Sumner Ave.
CERT members are com-
munity volunteers who are
called to aid in emergency and
disaster situations and are de-
ployed by the authority of the
county emergency manage-
ment director.
They can be asked to per-
form a variety of duties includ-
ing but not limited to trafc
and crowd control, search and
rescue, identication and basic
triage of emergency disaster
victims, assistance as assigned
by other on scene emergency
departments.
We are not trying to be
reghters or police ofcers,
said Ron Vought, Webster
County CERT training coor-
dinator, who is organizing the
class in early December.
We are willing hands and
bodies who can assist rst re-
sponders at an accident or di-
saster scene, Vought said.
CERT teams combine the
services and skills of the Civ-
il Air Patrol, amateur radio
emergency service, and indi-
viduals from all walks of life
with administrative, medical
and technical backgrounds.
The Humboldt County
CERT group currently has
around one dozen members
and is seeking more communi-
ty-minded volunteers to help.
The current CERT team mem-
bers have undergone extensive
in-class and in-the-eld train-
ing, as well as participated in a
number and a variety of mock
disaster drills.
The class will be offered
free of charge. Volunteers must
attend all ve sessions and
take and pass a nal quiz to be
certied as a CERT volunteer.
All of the classes will be
held at the Humboldt County
Emergency Operations Center
located east of the Humboldt
County Law Enforcement
Center. The street address is
430 Sumner Ave.
Classes will be held in the
evenings, Monday, Dec. 3-Fri-
day, Dec. 7.
Mondays class will in-
clude disaster preparedness,
re science and safety and util-
ity controls. Tuesdays class
will cover disaster medical
operations. Wednesdays unit
will be triage basics and CERT
organization.
Thursdays class will be
about disaster psychology and
a primer on terrorism. Fridays
class will be light search and
rescue operations.
Saturday, Dec. 8, there will
be a course review and quiz
beginning at 1:30 p.m., fol-
lowed by preparations for the
mass casualty exercise and the
exercise itself at 5:30 p.m.
The course will include
both classroom instruction and
eld simulated hands-on exer-
cises.
In addition to seeking
CERT volunteers, people who
would like to serve as by-
standers, worried parents and
relatives and mock disaster
victims are asked to contact
Vought. All they have to do is
sign a waiver of liability form
and show up by 4 p.m. on
Saturday, Dec. 8. All ages are
needed for this drill.
It is important to remem-
ber that disasters are not a mat-
ter of if it will happen, but
when it will happen. It is up
to each one of us to be person-
ally responsible and prepared
and also to train others to take
appropriate action when the
time comes, Vought stated.
To sign up to take the train-
ing class or be part of the di-
saster exercise, contact Ron
Vought at (515) 269-4665, af-
ter 3:30 p.m., or e-mail him at:

DONT OVERLOOK FINANCIAL RISKS IN RETIREMENT
When you retire, you may well have accomplished some
important nancial goals, such as sending your children through
college and paying off your mortgage. Yet, you cant relax just yet,
because your retirement could easily last two or three decades,
which means youll need at least two or three decades worth of
income which, in turn, means youll need the proper savings
and investment strategies in place. And, just as importantly,
youll also need to be aware of the types of risk that could threaten
these strategies.
Lets consider some of these risks:
Longevity None of us can say for sure how long well live.
But its still important to have an estimate, based on your
health and family history. So if you think you may live, for 25
years in retirement, youll want to withdraw enough from your
investments each year to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle but not
so much that you deplete your funds before the 25 years have
passed.
Ination Weve experienced pretty mild ination over the
past few years. But over time, even a low rate of ination can
seriously erode your purchasing power. To illustrate: If your
current monthly costs are $3,000, with only a 3 percent annual
ination rate, that would be about $4,000 in 10 years. 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, its important to have at least some investments
that offer growth potential, rather than only owning xed-
income vehicles, such as certicates of deposit (CDs). Youll
also want to consider sources of rising income potential, such as
dividend-paying stocks. (Keep in mind, though, that stocks can
reduce or discontinue dividends at any time and are subject to
market uctuation and loss of principal.)
Market Fluctuations When you retire and begin taking
withdrawals from your investment portfolio that is, when you
begin selling off investments youd obviously like prices to be
high. After all, the classic piece of investment advice is buy low,
sell high. But its impossible to try to time the market this way,
as it will always uctuate. Thats why you may want to consider
sources of income whose value is not dependent on whats
happening in the nancial markets. Your nancial advisor may
be able to recommend investments that can provide you with this
type of income stream.
Low interest rates 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. 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. Consequently,
youll still likely need balance between short, intermediate, and
long-term investments to provide for a portion of your income in
retirement.
Retirement can be a rewarding time in your life. And you
can help make your retirement years even more enjoyable by
understanding the relevant investment risks and taking steps to
address them.

Cook of the Week
HONORING THE AMERICAN LEGION AND
AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
This past Sunday at 11 a.m., the country took time to remem-
ber our veterans and thank them for their sacrice and service.
This is the second week of the Cook of the Week columns
salute to Veterans Organizations.
This week we are spotlighting the Humboldt County Ameri-
can Legion Posts and their related organizations.
The American Legion was chartered by congress in 1919, as
an organization focused on service to veterans, service mem-
bers and communities. The nations largest wartime veterans
service organization, the American Legion is committed to
mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in
our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promot-
ing strong national security, and continued devotion to service
members and veterans. Today there are over 2.4 million mem-
bers in 14,000 posts worldwide.
Also founded in 1919, and now at almost one million mem-
bers from all walks of life, the Auxiliary administers hundreds
of volunteer programs. It donates thousands of hours to its com-
munities and to veterans and raises millions of dollars to sup-
port its own programs and other worthwhile, familiar charities.
This is all accomplished with volunteers.
As the worlds largest womens patriotic service organiza-
tion, the Auxiliary embodies the spirit of America that has pre-
vailed through war and peace. Through its nearly 10,500 units,
the Auxiliary and the American Legion stand behind America
and her ideals.
Adams Post #119 in Humboldt was formed and chartered
in 1919; the Auxiliary in 1925. Otto Field #415 in Livermore,
Cloverleaf #524 in Bode and Liest Veerkamp #525 in Ottosen
soon followed. (Post Hartnett-Johnson #239 in Gilmore City is
in Pocahontas County.) Most of the Posts have Auxiliaries, al-
though some may have dissolved. Livermore, however, has a
new Auxiliary that was chartered in September 2012.
The American Legion also has another branch, known as
The Sons of the American Legion (S.A.L.). Originally formed
in 1932, The Sons of the American Legion members include
males of all ages whose parents or grandparents served in the
U.S. military and were eligible for American Legion member-
ship. Livermore also has a chapter of The Sons of the American

By Carolyn Saul Logan
For some, genealogy and
family histories are boring; just
names and dates and places.
However, interwoven in those
names and dates and places are
the stories that connect ones
family to history. Then history
becomes personal.
Take the case of Mary Ann
Bodkin McCoy who lived in
Doe Hill, VA, at the time of
the Civil War. Her obituary
provides the rst chapter in the
story of her experiences during
that war: Her rst husband
was Henry McCoy, who died
of smallpox in 1862, during
the Civil War, when the neigh-
borhood of Doe Hill was smit-
ten with that terrible scourge,
and she with her own hands,
helped to bury the dead, there
not being men enough at home
to bury the dead. At the time
of her husbands death, Mary
Ann was 51 years old and had
given birth to 13 children.
Smallpox deaths during
the Civil War were common.
Both Union and Confederate
Armies required their troops
to be vaccinated against small-
pox and re-vaccinated if nec-
essary. However, these regula-
tions were not always met and
as a result many new recruits
who had not been exposed to
the disease or had not been
vaccinated as civilians ended
up getting the disease and dy-
ing from it.
How did Henry McCoy
contract smallpox? He al-
most certainly was in contact
with the Union or Confeder-
ate troops who were both in
the area around Doe Hill. And
some of them had smallpox.
But the presence of troops
in Doe Hill robbed Mary Ann
not only of her husband. One
of her sons, Benjamin, had al-
ready joined the Union Army.
Then two of her remaining
three sons signed up with the
Confederate Army. One of
these, Henry by name, was
captured three days after he
joined up and died in a Fed-
eral prison. Andrew, her oldest
son, joined the 25th Virginia
Infantry Regiment. In 1863,
a year after his fathers death,
Andrew writes from Brandy
Station near Culpepper, VA,
where his regiment was dis-
mantling the Orange and Al-
exandria Railroad and sending
the iron to Richmond.
It is from Andrews let-
ters that we learn of another
nancial loss for Mary Ann.
Andrew writes, I was sorry
to hear of mothers misfortune
and loss of her horses and the
great drawback it will cause
upon her with her work. But I
suppose from what I can learn
that there is no chance for her
ever to get them back again. It
is a great pity but what (could
she do). Also the thieving ras-
cals that taken them should
share the punishment that they
so justly deserve. I am also
ashamed to know that southern
men will be guilty of such dis-
graceful depredations on our
own people, especially a poor
helpless woman that is left in
her situation, but I hope that
such men will meet with the
doom that becomes such vil-
lains.
Andrew angrily condemns
the thieving rascals but that
doesnt help Mary Ann get her
horses back to work her farm.
In a letter written six months
later, Andrew gives us a clue as
to how Mary Ann worked out a
way to get the Confederates to
pay something for her loss. I
got my barrel, Andrew writes.
There was seven cheeses in it
that Mother wanted me to sell
for her. I will try to sell them
to the best advantage and send
the money home to her. At
least she would get some mon-
ey out of the thieving Confed-
erate rascals.
Mary Anns third son Ben-
jamin signed with the Union
Army in 1861, enlisting in the
Third West Virginia Volunteer
Infantry. At the end of nine
months service he was dis-
charged on account of disabili-
ty and set out to return home to
Doe Hill. His sympathy for the
Union cause was well known
and along the way he was at-
tacked by rebels as well as by
the guerrillas who infested that
section. According to the His-
tory of Hamilton County Iowa
1912, When, only by exercis-
ing the utmost caution, he had
thwarted several of their plans
to shoot him, he deemed dis-
cretion the better part of valor
and concluded to leave that
part of the country. Benja-
min went west and ended up
in Hamilton County, where he
farmed for many years and af-
ter his death was buried in the
Webster City cemetery.
Andrew survived the war
and returned to Doe Hill. He
predeceased his mother Mary
Ann and is buried in the same
cemetery as his father. It was
Mary Anns second son, Ben-
jamin, who was at her bedside
when she died at the age of 91.
The stories of these ordi-
nary peoples lives during the
Civil War make that terrible
struggle real and personal.
One can relate to the smallpox
that took Mary Anns husband,
the rebel raiding party that ran
off with her horses, the ideolo-
gies that drew two sons to the
Confederate cause and sent
one halfway across the con-
tinent to escape death for his
support of the Union.
Family trees can give the
dates but it is worth digging to
nd out your family story in
history.

'I DARE YOU'
Award presented
As we gather to give thanks
and enjoy time with family and
friends, Thanksgiving tables
will take center stage. These
quick and beautiful center-
piece ideas may give you some
inspiration. Most of these can
be put together in 15 minutes
or less using ingredients from
your yard and the grocery
store.
The only trick may be
quantity. Instead of a pair of
candlesticks, use three pair.
Instead of one pumpkin, use
ve. This will give a rich abun-
dant look with little expense.
Choose one and make some-
thing beautiful!
1. Candles and leaves
candlesticks and candles
preserved or fresh leaves
or branches
Arrange candlesticks (or a
variety of pillar candles) ran-
domly down the table, with
tallest ones in the center. Set
fall leaves on the tabletop
around the bases of the candle-
sticks. If you wish, decorate
with a few pinecones, min-
iature turkeys, or even foil-
wrapped chocolate turkeys.
Tip: When using fresh
leaves make sure they are not
moist so wood isnt damaged.
To make the arrangement por-
table, set a tray underneath.
2. Potted green plant
green plant (ivy is nice)
fall leaves
mini pumpkins
Choose one beautiful green
plant with trailing branches
such as an ivy. Place it in the
center of the table (in a basket,
cache pot, hollowed out pump-
kin, or even a soup tureen). In-
sert a few fall leaves into the
plant and add a few more down
the table. Nestle several mini
pumpkins either into the plant
or near the trailing vines.
Tip: If you have a large
pumpkin left from Halloween,
hollow it out and use it for a
unique and seasonal cachepot
for a potted plant. Be sure to
use a plastic water tray inside
the pumpkin (under the plant).
3. Pumpkin patch center-
piece
1 large pumpkin
2 medium pumpkins
2-4 small sugar pumpkins
6-10 mini pumpkins
Fresh, silk, or preserved
fall leaves
Set the large pumpkin in
the center of the table with the
medium pumpkins on either
side, spaced about 4-8 apart.
Continue adding the smaller
pumpkins at each end, lling
in the spaces with mini pump-
kins and fall leaves.
Tip: Protect your table
from pumpkins by using plas-
tic circles or glass plates un-
derneath.
4. Votives and moss
votive candles in glass
containers
moss (dry or damp)
preserved or fresh leaves
or branches
twigs, small pinecones,
mini-pumpkins (optional)
Place a length of felt (if us-
ing dry moss) or plastic (for
damp moss) on the table. Lay-
er on moss, leaving a few open
areas for votive candleholders.
Decorate with fall leaves here
and there. Garnish with small
pinecones, twigs, or a few
mini-pumpkins. This is a low
arrangement that could also
be enhanced with taller pillar
candles or tall taper candles.
Tip: Use plastic under
damp sheets of moss to keep
your table clean and dry.
Tip: Keep dried materials
well away from candle ames.
5. Cedar forest
small cedar potted plants
preserved leaves
moss
Purchase several miniature
evergreen trees (6-15 high)
from a orist or garden center.
Use these as your focal point.
Cover the pots with moss (at-
tach with hot glue or wire) or
place into decorative contain-
ers. Set the trees on the table
and garnish the tabletop with
fall leaves, votive candles, and
mini-pumpkins.
Tip: Arrange tallest tree(s)
in center. Always place fresh
plants on water trays, glass
plates, or in decorative con-
tainers to protect your table
from water damage.
Hint - This arrangement
can easily be updated to a
Christmas theme in December
by adding sparkling ribbons
and ornaments.
6. Cake plate and pump-
kin
pumpkin (or assortment
of fall fruits)
leaves, grapes, berries
Arrange one large pumpkin
(or assortment of fall fruits) on
a pedestal cake plate. Garnish
with small twigs of berries, ivy
strands, and a few fresh or pre-
served fall leaves. Hang a few
bunches of mini champagne
grapes over the edge of the
plate.
Tip: If necessary use heavy
toothpicks dipped in oil of
clove (available in a pharma-
cy) to help hold rolling fruits
together (oranges, apples, etc.)
The oil of clove or oil of cinna-
mon should make apples stay
fresh longer.
Tip: Use unusual fruit for
interest (pomegranates, ts,
kiwi, star, etc.) For another
way to use fall fruits, see our
One Bowl Arrangements.
7. Fall mums
low growing fall mum
plants
moss
rafa
votive candles
Place several small fall
mum plants in a grouping in-
side a large basket or in cache-
pots. Or, wrap the pots with
sheet moss and secure with
lengths of rafa. Or arrange
fall items around a mum plant
for a simple fall look.
Tip: Use a drip tray or plate
under the plant to catch any
water.
8. Glass and fruit
clear glass container
leaves
colorful fruit (gs, limes,
persimmons, apples, pears)
Make a trip to the grocery
store and purchase a variety of
small colorful fall fruits such
as pears, gs, pomegranates,
persimmons, etc. Pile them
in a large glass bowl, vase,
or even inside of a tall glass
hurricane shade anchored to a
plate with orist clay. As you
layer in the fruit add a few fall
leaves here and there.
Tip: Use a variety of sizes
and colors for eye appeal.

Cort Kallansrud and his family
of Humboldt were special guests
of ISU Athletic Director Jamie
Pollard at the ISU homecoming
football victory over Baylor on
Oct. 27.
One of the special guests Cort
got to meet was Seneca Wallace,
former ISU quarterback and cur-
rent NFL free agent.
He also got to meet the Cy-
clone mascot, Cy.
Pollard invited Kallansrud to
be his guest in his suite after meet-
ing Cort at the Cyclone Tailgate at
Rustix last summer.
They loved it. Jamie Pollard
was busy and we werent able to
see him, but Iowa State won the
game and we all had fun, Corts
mother, Emily Rees said.
Cort and his cousins, Daven
and Hanah Rees, all had footballs
autographed by Seneca Wallace.
Iowa State kept the footballs and
is getting more autographs before
they send them back to Humboldt.
Cort is a sixth grader at Hum-
boldt Middle School who just
turned 12. Hes missed a lot of
school this year as he continues
to ght a build up of uid in his
stomach.
A benet was held last Feb-
ruary at Taft Elementary to help
send Cort to Boston for special
treatment.
He had a procedure called
sclerotherapy twice. During
sclerotherapy doctors inject medi-
cine into his kidneys to try to
shrink the disease and reduce the
seepage.
He returns to Boston on Jan.
24 for more sclerotheraphy and
for further testing for his thoracic
duct.
If hes a candidate for thorac-
ic duct treatment, which we hope
he is, then it could solve the uid
problem, Rees said.
She said Cort continues to
miss lots of school this year be-
cause as the uid is drained, he
loses sodium and ends up having
to be hospitalized to get his so-
dium levels back up.
We are hopeful they will be
able to do the thoracic duct treat-
ment. And then maybe he can get
the tube out (used to drain the u-
id) and get his hernias taken care
of, Rees said.
He loves sports and wants
to participate so bad. But if
something would happen to that
tube.its his lifeline.
The trip to the Iowa State
game was sandwiched around
hospital stays for Cort, but served
as a spirit booster for him.
He wants so badly to be like
everyone else. Cort had a great

time at the game. We are very ap-
preciative to Jamie Pollard and
Iowa State, Rees said.
Cort is a very special boy and
I am so glad we were able to pro-
vide him a small break from his
daily struggles. I am truly inspired
by his courage and have been im-
pressed by his positive attitude on
life. We will continue to pray for
Cort and his family as they work
to overcome his medical challeng-
es, Jamie Pollard, ISU Athletic
Director, said.

Of the nine swing states,
Obama took eight by narrow
margins with Romney claim-
ing only the 15 electoral votes
in North Carolina.
Pundits credited Obamas
win being due to stronger vot-
ing margins among women,
minorities and younger voters.
King topped challenger
Christie Vilsack in newly
drawn U.S. Senate District
4, which includes portions of
northern, western and central

ster County. Shaw received

397, unofcially.

polling Marilyn Stein and Cas-
sandra Smith. Will Spellmeyer

expired term on the Extension

Denny Davis and 14 for Cleo
Boles.
In the city of Livermore,
Crista Jensen outpolled

In local races, Sara Cur-
tis and Harley Kohlhaas were

of Fenton. For the Fenton City
Council, Paul Jorgenson edged
Ryan Harms, 81-74.
Strong turnout
With more than 5,000 votes
locally for president, it was a
strong turnout.
Humboldt County Auditor
Peggy Rice reported that 5,184
Humboldt County citizens vot-
ed, of the 7,033 registered, or
73.7 percent. That slightly tops
the percentage for the 2008
general election, when 5,161
voters of 7,076 registered cast
ballots, for 72.9 percent par-
ticipation.
Final party afliation tal-
lies werent available because
of same-day registrations. Just
prior to the election, of the
6,985 registered voters in the
county, 40 percent declared no
party, 38 percent were regis-
tered Republicans and 22 per-
cent Democrats.
Rice reported few glitches
with the election last week de-
spite some long lines at some
of the voting precincts.
Voters were very accom-
modating and understanding.
We had a few people show up
at their former voting sites,
which had changed in some
cases because of the Supervi-
sor redistricting. We will work
on ways to better inform the
public on changes. I think
posting the maps in public li-
braries or city halls might be a
good idea, Rice said.
The auditor said the vol-
untary scanning of drivers
licenses or voter registration
cards worked well in helping
to speed up the process .
The only precinct where
we didnt use the scanners was
the Bode Precinct, Rice said.
She said there has been no
case of voter fraud in Hum-
boldt County at any time in
recent memory. Only four pro-
visional ballots were cast last
Tuesday and three of those
were because late registrants
didnt have an ID with them.
Absentee ballots continue
to gain popularity among vot-
ers. In Humboldt County,
2,130 people voted absentee,
compared to just over 1,800 in
2008.
Rice said the ve-member
special elections precinct
board that counts the absentee
ballots places all of the secre-
cy sleeves in one pile and the
election ballots in another after
envelopes are discarded, so the
voters identity remains secret.
We had fairly steady turn-
out of people voting (in our of-
ce) prior to the election and
on the Monday prior to elec-
tion day, Rice said.
The auditor said a record-
ing tape at the Gilmore City
precinct would not print out,
but the ballots were all count-
ed and when the machine and
reader card were brought to
the auditors ofce, the tape
from the machine printed ne.
Rice said the auditors of-
ce has to keep abreast of any
federal or state changes in
election law.
While she doesnt expect
any bold changes, her ofce
has to be able to adapt and let
the public know.

By Kent Thompson
Humboldt High School
completed a rst Saturday,
Nov. 3. Its rst ever state com-
petition in competitive cheer-
leading in the cheer/dance di-
vision.
While there has been much
debate about whether or not
cheerleading is a
sport, according
to the denition of
sport by Websters
New World Dic-
tionary, it certainly
meets the criteria.
Sport is any
recreational ac-
tivityrequiring
bodily exertion,
says Websters.
Cheer l eadi ng
denitely meets
that denition and
then some. Bod-
ies are moving and
there are athletic
movements that
require strength,
agility, balance,
coordination, stamina and an
overall level of physical tness
that rivals other sports.
Anyone who has tried to
toss a 100-pound person in
the air and catch that person
would realize that it takes
some athleticism and skill. Its
not something a person is like-
ly going to be able to do well
in their rst attempt.
Cheerleading is very com-
parable to gymnastics in the
fact that there are ips and
tumbles and acrobatic rou-
tines.
Cheerleading also has ele-
ments of ice dancing and syn-
chronized swimming, which
are both Olympic medal
sports.
Cheerleaders compete, are
judged and have to practice
and stay in condition to per-
form, all elements of any com-
petitive recreational activity.
So, lets focus on the Hum-
boldt Competitive Cheerlead-
ing Squad, how it came to be,
and what they have been doing
for more than four months.
The team is comprised of
11 girls and one boy and begin
practicing in earnest in July,
although its kind of a year-
around activity, according to
Humboldt cheer coach Karin
Thiele, who guided the team
during its season.
Last spring, several of
the girls came to open gym to
learn new stunts and to work
on their routines, Thiele said.
In July, the group began
practicing as a unit, learning
choreography and tumbling
moves in anticipation of the
competitive events.
The standard formation for
students is a nine-person base
for the back and three yers,
girls who are lifted to the top
of the formation.
The large and small group
squads participated at the Tri-
ton Challenge in Fort Dodge
in late October, and then in the
state competition on Nov. 3 at
the Iowa State Fairgrounds in
Des Moines.
Humboldts large group
squad nished 14 of 15 schools
in the Class 3A cheer/dance di-
vision.
The stunt group A team of
Kenzie Shelgren, Rachel Buss,
Kelsy Applegate, Alyssa Carl-
son and Paxton King placed
24
th
of 32 teams in their rou-
tine. The stunt group B team
of Lizabeth Gonzalez, Macy
Larsen, Tori Hamilton, Ashlyn
Nicholson and Gloria Beltran
were 22
nd
of 32 teams.
The small group teams are
a group of ve girls during
continuous stunts for one min-
ute.
There are 160 teams in the
state and 3A is one of the more
difcult divisions, Thiele re-
ports.
Last year we
participated in
the sideline di-
vision but there
were no stunts,
tumbling or
dancing, so this
is all pretty new
to us, the cheer-
leading coach
said.
Most of the
girls couldnt
tumble and not
too many had
dance experi-
ence, so we start-
ed learning those
things this past
summer, Thiele
said.
Chantel Fridolfson helped
some of the members learn
their tumbling moves during
the summer.
Erin Olson, who was a
cheerleader at Iowa Central,
and Shondel Beaman, the high
school wrestling c heerleader
coach and a teacher associate
at Mease School, have assisted
Thiele in coaching the group.
Kelsy Applegate is a senior
member of the team and is so
enamored with the sport that
she hopes to pursue cheerlead-
ing in college.
I was a football cheer-
leader and then I decided to
do this, too. You have to have
a lot of energy and be strong
enough to lift people and do
the stunts. It takes a lot of time
(to practice). You have to learn
how to lift correctly, so you
dont injure yourself, Apple-
gate said.
There is a lot more to it,
than people think. There is
learning the routine, getting in
the right spot and learning the
right kicks, jumps and moves,
Applegate said.
Id like to cheerlead in
college, so I hope I can get a
scholarship for competitive
cheerleading, the senior said.
I enjoy doing the stunts
but dont like the dance or
tumbling much, said senior
Kenzie Shelgren, who has
been involved in cheerleading
all three of her years in Hum-
boldt, and on the competitive
cheer team the past two years.
She said its not unusual to
spend 15-20 hours per week
practicing.
Its as demanding as being
out for a sport, and just as ath-
letic. I know I go home sore.
The only thing Im not doing is
running, said Shelgren, who
has also been active in track
and softball.
Rachel Buss was a mem-
ber of the United All-Stars
cheerleading squad out of Fort
Dodge for three years and de-
cided to join the Humboldt
School squad this year. Rachel
is a sophomore and is one of
the yers.
I like ying. You have to
be smaller and exible and it
allows you to pull off some ac-
robatic moves, Buss said.
Thiele said the routines
are judged on difculty, form,
sharp motions, accuracy and
creativity.
The team is pretty con-
dent in its performances and
is working toward reaching its
goals and someday competing
for a rst place trophy, Thiele
said.
For now, the squad is happy
with continual improvements
and having a safe and com-
plete routine.
Thiele said the team hopes
to have a local performance in
December and to perform dur-
ing halftime of a Wildcat bas-
ketball game.
As we gain experience and
exposure, we hope to get more
people interested in becom-
ing involved. People with a
tumbling or dance background
who are looking for an athletic
activity, should denitely con-
sider competitive cheer, the
coach says.

SDSU lineup
Humboldts successful 2012
high school volleyball season
was evidenced by the selection
of four players to the North
Central All-Conference team.
League coaches released the
all-conference team. The Wild-
cats, runners-up in the league
with a 7-2 match record, 21-9
overall, had a rst-team unani-
mous pick in senior middle
hitter Kaitlynn Vought.
Wildcat senior outside hitter
Erica Lane was named second-
team, along with junior outside
hitter April Jones. Junior setter
Sarah Peters was chosen third-
team.
Vought led Humboldt up
front with 269 kills as she con-
verted 504 of 591 spikes. Lane
was second with 198 kills while
Jones made 117. Peters served
266 of 290 with 27 aces. Peters
led the squad in assists with 331
and collected 112 digs.
Vought served 250 of 274 for
a team-high 39 aces. She also
led the squad in blocks with 91
total, which included 50 solos.
She had 113 digs. Jones had 36
blocks while Lane had 27. Lane
was second on the team in digs
with 137.
Humboldt coach Connie
Rasmussen, who wrapped up
her 13th year as head coach
of the Wildcats, had praise
for her squad on the season.
The junior varsity, coached by
Justin McDaniel, tied for the
conference crown with Iowa
Falls, Garrigan and Algona at
7-2. They were 13-5 overall.
The Wildcat freshman squad,
coached by Kathi Beach, went
8-1 and tied for second in the
NCC. They were 19-6 overall.
Overall, it was a very good
season and a very good season
for all three clubs, varsity, ju-
nior varsity and ninth grade,
Rasmussen said.
When all three clubs can
nish second or better in the
North Central Conference,
thats saying something about
the success we have had this
season, Rasmussen said.
Humboldt won their own
tournament and later took the
Estherville tourney title. The
Wildcats saw their season end
in the rst round of regional
play in a match at home with
Spencer. Eventual state cham-
pion Charles City emerged as
the regional champion.
We started out the year
and played well in our home
tournament. One of our goals
was to win conference. I dont
think anybody saw Iowa Falls
to become as good as they were
this season and win the league,
Rasmussen said. After we beat
Webster City, I thought that was
a good win since they were the
defending conference champi-
ons.
Iowa Falls made it to the
state tournament and played
really well. To end up 7-2 in
the conference is nothing to
hold your head down about.
The girls should be very proud
because it is one of our best
nishes in the conference in
the history that Ive been here,
Rasmussen said.
Looking back, there were
some missed opportunities. I
felt we should have performed
better in the Carroll tourna-
ment. But then we had great
matches in the Estherville
tournament two to three weeks

By Phil Monson
Uncertainty may have existed
when the Humboldt High School
girl-boy cross country teams began
their season three months ago.
But there is nothing uncertain
about the Wildcats future after
wrapping up the 2012 season re-
cently. The Wildcats saw extensive
growth in several areas that are
fueling optimism for 2013.
That was the message Wildcat
head coach Dean Clasen presented
at the team banquet held last week
(Nov. 6) at the middle school caf-
eteria.
Clasen, Humboldts veteran
coach, greeted a squad of newcom-
ers when practice began back on
Aug. 6. A total of 13 seniors from
the 2011 squad had graduated,
including five of the top seven
runners from both the boys and
the girls teams, so it was no secret
that Humboldt had a number of
positions to ll
Banquet honors Wildcat cross country team
Add to those losses an ad-
ditional three members of the JV
boys team that didnt return and
it was easy to assume that our
number of runners would be re-
ally low, Clasen said. As always
seems to happen, we had several
upper classmen join the boys team
for their rst cross country experi-
ence and their presence, along with
a nice-sized freshman boys class,
boosted the boys numbers to 21.
More than we had a year ago.
The girls situation looked
pretty grim at the rst practice.
With just four girls returning from
last years squad (two of which
had been rehabbing injuries) and
a lone freshman, it didnt take a
genius to gure out that we might
have trouble earning a team score
in the upcoming season, Clasen
said.
By the end of the rst week,
the recruiting efforts of the tam
were rewarded with the addition
of three more girls, Clasen said.
Yet another girl joined us late in
the season to bring the total to nine
runners for the girls.
As the season unfolded, it
quickly became evident that all of
the girls would be needed to insure
having a scoring team. A variety
of injuries, most of them chronic,
sidelined several of the girls for
multiple meets which impeded
the progress of the team, Clasen
said. The boys, on the other hand,
remained pretty healthy throughout
the season. There were a couple of
JV runners who missed meets but
those who ran varsity remained
healthy enough to run in nearly all
of the meets.
The Wildcat varsity girls were
hampered by the absence of junior
Karlee Peyton, who sat out much
of the season with a stress fracture
discovered in one of her feet in late
August. Peyton didnt return until
the conference meet in Algona on
Oct. 9.
The newcomers came along and
saw growth in helping the girls and
boys squads compete. The boys
nished fth and the girls were
seventh in the conference meet
scoring. While the girls saw their
three-year reign as NCC champion
end optimism prevailed as Clasen

Simms has stepped right into the starting lineup
for the South Dakota State University squad this
season.
Simms, of Gilmore City
and a 2012 graduate of Hum-
boldt High School, is holding
the 133-pound spot in the
Jackrabbit lineup. Simms
helped usher in the debut of
rst-year head coach Chris
Bono, whose squad went
2-1 in the Huskie Duals last
weekend.
Simms is now 7-3 on the
season, including a 56-sec-
ond pin over Indianas Quin-
ton Murphy in SDSUs 19-18
victory over the Hoosiers. Murphy was a four-
time state champion in New York state and was
the states all-time leader in wins.
SDSU lost 26-12 to Northern Illinois but
Simms won a 5-1 decision over Thorian Twyner.
SDSU also defeated Tiffin University and
Simms lost in sudden death overtime to Michael

Zittritsch on Dubuque
mens cross country team
The Dakota City Demolition Crew hosted the Eastern Iowa
Outlaws (Dubuque) on Nov. 3 in Rolfe and came up on the short
end of a 181-147 score.
The local squad, with just six skaters, took on EIOs bench of
10 deep and battled the visitors from start to nish. DCDC trailed
just 71-69 at halftime.
DC/DCs Jammer McNothing earned Most Valuable Player
honors while blocker MizzChiff also earned MVP honors.
DC/DC skaters on the night included McNothing (Jenny
Randleman), Havoc (Jessica Schade, team co-captain), MizzChiff
(Domino Brundage), Livid Red GRRL (Heather Kimbrough, vice
president), Iron Hyde (Charity Thilges), Pale Burnhardt (Lauren
Walter, captain) and coach El SuperBeasto (Eric Schade).
We are gaining quite a reputation for taking on teams twice
our size with just a bench of 6-9 skaters and are doing remarkable
well due to our teamwork and endurance levels, Havoc said.
DC/DC will close the 2012 season on Dec. 15 when they travel
to Rock Island, IL, and play Farmfresh Roller Girls.

for the varsity squad in the 2012 season.
Zittritsch placed 159th overall in the NCAA Division III
Regional held Nov. 10 in Northeld, MN. Zittritsch ran the
8-kilometer course in 39:09.4. In the Iowa Conference meet on
Oct. 27 in Cedar Rapids, Zittritsch nished 54th in 29:41.2.
Zittritsch is a 2012 graduate of Humboldt High School.
Rutz goes 2-2 at ISU Open
Humboldts Tre Rutz, a second-year member of the Grand
View University wrestling team in Des Moines, went 2-2 last
Saturday (Nov. 10) in Nichols Invitational ISU Open in Ames.
Rutz, competing at 141 pounds, pinned ODarius Williamson
(2:20) and won 7-4 over Matt Leibforth (St. Cloud State). He lost
6-4 to UNIs Gunnar Wolfensperger (placed sixth) and 11-5 to
Steve Rodriguez (Illinois). Rodriguez placed fth in the tourna-
ment.
Tre is off to a good start this year, Grand View head coach
Nick Mitchell said. He competed at 149 during his redshirt year
and this season he has made the commitment to be at 141, which
is a better weight for him.
He put in a lot of time this summer and has improved a ton as
a result, Mitchell said. Last year he may have given some older
guys or some guys who were supposed to be good a little too
much credit and hes changed that. He has a different approach
this year and because of that, hes already a guy were talking
about who could be a difference maker for us in March.

later, Rasmussen said. It was
disappointing that we didnt
win our regional tournament
opener over Spencer. That was
hard because we wanted to
play in the regional nal in our
home gym.
But none of it was from
a lack of effort. Sometimes it
isnt in the cards to meet every
goal you set out to do, Ras-
mussen said. But again, as we
look back, overall it was a very
successful season.
Rasmussen has compiled a
career won-loss record of 261-
169-10 at Humboldt. Other
top finishes in her tenure at
Humboldt include runner-up
in 2008, runner-up in 2005 and
rst in 2007.
The Wildcats bid farewell to
a senior class of nine athletes
who have played an integral
part of recent success. The class
includes Bri Carda, Jenny Halv-
erson, Christina Jensen, Caitlin
Kohlhaas, Anna Tecklenburg,
Taylor Weydert, Kinzie Wright,
Lane and Vought.
Nine seniors is a lot of
seniors. In the last few years
Ive had some larger groups,
but this is a testament to them
to stay with it, put in the time
during the off-season and a
few of them knowing they
probably werent going to get
a lot of playing time. It meant
a lot to all of them to be part
of the team. They were great
leaders in practice. They will
be missed. Each brought some-
thing unique to the team and
they did work well together,
Rasmussen said.
I credit those girls for stick-
ing it out. Having nine seniors
is a big number. Im proud they
enjoyed volleyball and wanted
to be a part of that team aspect.
We try to do fun things during
the season besides just playing
matches. To me its more about
what they learn being together
with each other, what its like
being part of a team and you
might have to sacrice and a
lot of those did sacrifice for
this team to be successful,
Rasmussen said.
They should all be proud
of what they accomplished this
year, Rasmussen said.
We have always had re-
spectable teams, even if we did
nish in the middle of the pack
in the conference. The NCC is
a strong volleyball conference,
Rasmussen said.
7-2 is a really good nish
and Im proud of that and the
girls should be proud of it. We
always want to compete and be
in the race for the conference
title every year, Rasmussen
said. We put ourselves into po-
sition and the girls are already
talking about the off-season
preparation for next season.
The freshmen went 8-1
in the NCC and the JV were
7-2. Those are very, very good
seasons. Those girls got a lot
of playing time and gained ex-
perience. The sophomores and
juniors will be looked upon to
NCC VB continued from B front
ll quite a few positions next
year, Rasmussen said. Well
get the ball rolling in the off-
season and get ready for when
next August rolls around.

Every year there are an
abundance of movies that
are released to provide en-
tertainment. Most of the
time, everyone wants to see
it as soon as it comes out, or
they choose to go to a mid-
night premiere of it because
they cant wait. So what are
some of the upcoming mov-
ies that people would want
to see?
One of the more popular
movies that will be released
is The Twilight Saga: Break-
ing Dawn Part Two. Its
about the follow up of their
frst child, vampire husband
and wife team Bella (Kris-
ten Stewart) and Edward
(Robert Pattinson) must
battle against a league of
vampire clans. The clans are
all claiming that the baby is
an immortal monster that
doesnt deserve to live.
A movie that would be
enjoyable for a younger
audience is the upcoming
movie Wreck-It Ralph. This
is an animated movie about
a bad guy voiced by John
C. Reilly. He longs to be as
beloved as his games per-
fect good guy, Fix-It Felix
(Jack McBrayer). Problem
is, no one likes a bad guy,
but they do love heroes. So
when a modern, frst person
shooter game arrives featur-
ing tough-as-nails Sergeant
Calhoun (Jane Lynch),
Ralph sees it as his ticket to
heroism and happiness.
Another movie that peo-
With the way that the econo-
my is and how much every-
thing costs, people are al-
ways looking for better ways
to make money fast. While
many people are applying
for jobs they also have to be
prepared for what they have
to do before they get the job.
Many people are not ready
for their interviews but here
are some tips to help.
The frst thing to an inter-
view is the frst impression.
When going to an interview
you always want to dress up
more than what you think
is necessary. When walking
into an interview the em-
ployer can take one look at
you are able to judge wheth-
er or not you are put to-
gether, clean, and organized.
One trick to looking proper
for an interview is wearing
neutral colors. You always
want to look nice and have
the employer paying atten-
tion to you and not your
clothes. Next thing is al-
ways try to wear clothing
that has minimal pockets.
While talking to the em-
ployer they want to know
that you are confdent and
interested in what they
are saying. The last tip on
clothing is not overdoing
your outft with accesso-
ries. While accessories can
make an outft look very
nice and put together, you
do not want to be fdgeting
with bracelets, messing
with necklaces, or digging
in a purse.
Keeping the interview
on a good path is mak-
ing sure that your resume
shows how organized
and professional you are.
When an employer is read-
ing through a resume they
should be able to read the
resume with ease. The re-
sume should be one page,
clean, not cluttered, and
have enough information
to leave the employer with
no questions about recent
jobs, but only leave them
to ask you how hard of a
worker you truly are.
While you are in the in-
terview you should always
have your portfolio on
hand. In this portfolio you
should have many things
such as, Table of Con-
tents, Traditional Resume,
Skills and Abilities, Three
Letters of Recommenda-
tion, Awards and Honors,
Degrees, and Transcripts.
While not everyone will
have all of these docu-
ments, reasons to have
them are to distinguish
yourself from the other ap-
plicants, turn the interview
into an offer, prove the abili-
ties and records in your re-
sume, and help the employer
fnd the position that is right
for you.
While in the interview,
the employer likes to know
that you are paying attention
at all times. There are many
ways to do this while eye
contact may be one of the
most important. While an
employer is talking to you,
you should have eye contact,
arms uncrossed, for ladies
ankles crossed not knees,
hands out of pockets, and a
slight lean forward towards
the employer. When doing
this, the employer will be
able to tell that you are pay-
ing attention and interested
in everything they are say-
ing.
After being asked a ques-
tion in the interview it is not
a race to answer the ques-
tion frst. Take your time,
talk slow, and show them
how calm and collected you
are. Answer the questions
in a positive and collected
order while using facts that
the employer mentioned be-
fore to prove how well you
were listening. During the
interview the employer is
looking for someone who
is confdent, able to do the
job well, handle on the spot
questions, and someone who
has done their research.
The best thing to do be-
fore an interview is research.
You do not have to know ev-
ery detail about everything
that happens, but rather be
able to impress the employ-
er on that you know what is
happening with the business
and how you would be able
a positive addition to the
team.
At the end of an interview
it is always good to leave
them with a positive image
of you in their head. The
simplest yet most important
way to do this is with a frm
handshake. Even though the
interview may have went
great many of the employers
put a huge deal of the deci-
sion the last hand shake.
While there are many parts
to an interview and much to
get ready for, the best thing
that you can do is practice.
Although you are always
able to sit down with friends
or family and ask questions,
the greatest practice is to go
in for a formal interview at
another business. Although
your interview may have
went well but were not able
get the job, always be pre-
pared for the next. While
going through the interview
process may be long and
exhausting, it will pay off
in the end. You just need to
keep your head up high and
be ready to get them in the
next interview.
ple may enjoy is The Hobbit:
An Unexpected Journey. The
adventure follows the char-
acter Bilbo Baggins (Martin
Freeman), who is swept into
a quest to reclaim the lost
kingdom, which was long
ago conquered by the dragon
known as Smaug (Benedict
Cumberbatch). Approached
out of the blue by the wiz-
ard Gandalf the Grey (Ian
McKellen), Bilbo fnds him-
self joining a company of
13 dwarves led by a warrior
known as Thorin (Richard
Armitage).
Of course, those movies
arent the only releases com-
ing out soon. There are many
other movies people might
enjoy. This is just giving a
little preview of some of the
movies that will be coming
out in the near future.
Living without a real
home, a real bed, and a real
job creates new struggles
each and every day, and
when one might think that
this problem is not relevant
to the small state of Iowa,
it is. Over 17,900 homeless
people inhabit the state of
Iowa.
November 10-18th is
National Homelessness
Awareness Week, and Hum-
boldt High School is plan-
ning on participating in an
impactful way. The senior
students enrolled in Mrs.
Brenda Rushs Economics
class right now are discuss-
ing the topic of homeless-
ness around the nation and
in Iowa. Mrs. Rush decided
to discard the normal essay
option for the closure of
this unit, but instead, create
a project that will impact
and inform more than just
the individual.
The students are planning
on making the community
aware of the problems that
homelessness causes by
creating a Tent City on
the Humboldt High School
grounds to display the
types of environments that
homeless people live in.
The students will be dis-
playing the correct propor-
tion of each population of
homeless people including
but not limited to veterans,
children,unaccompanied
minors, and people feeing
domestic abuse. Each dis-
play will have props, signs,
quotes, and symbols that re-
late them to a population of
homeless people that they
represent.
But this is not the only
thing that HHS will be do-
ing to create awareness for
homelessness. Each stu-
dent had the choice to par-
ticipate in one other event
that involved working with
people in the community
and school. One option
that students could choose
is to give tours of the tents
displayed on the lawn of
HHS. The students will be
responsible for inviting the
public and leading them
through the city. Each tent
will have a specifc address
and each group is to make a
brochure guide for the tour-
ists to follow.
Another event that HHS
is creating is an Eat or
Starve program one day
at lunch. Students in the
high school may volunteer
to be a part of the program,
in which they will draw
a card. Each card will be
color-coded representing
either upper class citizens
(receiving more than av-
erage food), middle class
citizens (receiving an aver-
age serving), or lower class
citizens (receiving a small
portion of food). This event
will hopefully teach the stu-
dent body to be aware that
others may not be as fortu-
nate as themselves.
One of the groups is
in charge of student body
education, awareness, and
publicity. The last group
was a small group of stu-
dents who were in charge
of advocating the subject to
public oIfcials at the city,
county, state, or federal
levels about the problems
of homelessness in todays
society.
As students, we believe
that this is a problem worth
taking the time to study and
educate others, especially
when it is happening in our
communities. Mrs. Rush
created this project in hopes
that the senior class would
strive to make a difference,
and although this project is
just underway, students are
really excited for the out-
come. To kick off the week
on Monday, HHS is hav-
ing a school wide assembly
with guest speakers from
the Beacon of Hope Mens
Shelter in Fort Dodge,
Iowa. This should get the
student body excited about
stepping up and making a
difference.

Isabella Qi, one of Lori Runkles 10th grade AP Eng-
lish students at Beijing No. 4 High Schools Internation-
al Campus in China, held up Runkles absentee ballot
in their classroom on Nov. 5, for other classmates to see.
Students in China are concerned about Barack Obama
and Mitt Romneys stance on Americas relationship
with their country. Submitted photo.
Teaching AP English at Bei-
jing No. 4 High Schools In-
ternational Campus in Beijing,
China poses some daily chal-
lenges including messages lost
in translation and government
blocked websites like YouTube
and Facebook, but I never sus-
pected voting in the presiden-
tial election would be one of
those international incidents.
I felt quite responsible and
very American requesting my
absentee ballot in mid-October
2012, but when the ballot had
not arrived by regular mail on
Nov. 1, panic seeped into my
rst-class citizen living abroad
plans. My initial inquiry e-
mail response about the bal-
lots whereabouts from Hum-
boldt County Auditor Peggy
Rice was that it was mailed out
in a special military/overseas
voter envelope on Oct. 17. Her
following e-mail in early No-
vember went something like
this:
Lori Yes your ballot is in
the mail. You can vote if it ar-
rives after the election but it
will not count, Iowa law re-
quires that all absentee bal-
lots have a postmark the day
before the election, which
would be Nov. 5 and arrive in
the Auditors ofce by the time
of the canvas, which will be on
Tuesday, Nov. 13.
I know it is expensive to
send things by Fed-Ex etc., but
it is an option you can use.
You have two options:
1. Wait and see if your
mailed ballot arrives, make
sure it is postmarked by the
day before the election (Nov.
5), mail it back to us and hope
it arrives by Nov. 13, the last
day to count any absentee bal-
lots.
Getting out the vote
in Beijing, China
2. Ask for an e-mail ballot,
print it off, vote it and send it
to us postmarked no later than
Nov. 5 (the sooner the better)
and hope that it arrives by
Nov. 13.
Im sorry that your choices
are limited at this time. Let me
know what you would like to
do.
That was not the reassuring
or inexpensive answer I de-
sired, but since I knew many
friends who had used a get out
the vote e-mail option while
living overseas, I asked Ms.
Rice about this alternative.
With the speedy and efcient
assistance of Ms. Rice, the
presidential First Class Mail
Ofcial Absentee Balloting
Material arrived from Dakota
City, attached as a PDF le to
my Yahoo e-mail on Nov. 3.
All I needed to do was print the
documents, sign my name on
the appropriate line, provide
an address, ll in the corre-
sponding presidential bubble,
scan the completed form, and
e-mail it to a designated get-
the-ballot-to-the-courthouse
on time man. The clock was
ticking until election day.
The nal step of the voting
process involved Tom Tierney,
my designated ballot delivery
hero, printing and delivering
the electronic right and privi-
lege to the Humboldt County
Courthouse on Nov. 5, with
one day to spare.
The nal e-mail I received
from Peggy Rice was on Mon-
day, Nov. 5.
It said: Lori Tom delivered
your completed ballot to us to-
day!
Hurrah! I am now an ofcial
Iowa e-voter living in Beijing.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL MEETING
DOCKET NUMBER E-22104
Humboldt County, Iowa
MidAmerican Energy Company (MidAmerican or Company), a public utility with its principal place of business at 666 Grand Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50309, is proposing to construct a 345,000 volt
(345 kV) electric transmission line in Iowa from a proposed substation near 300th and Starling Avenue in OBrien County easterly and southerly across public and private property in OBrien County, Clay
County, Palo Alto County, Kossuth County, Humboldt County and Webster County to an existing MidAmerican substation located in Webster County.
The proposed electric transmission line corridor Humboldt County is generally depicted on the enclosed map and will use an existing 161kV line corridor as much as practical by rebuilding this into a
double circuit electric transmission line on single pole structures. This new 345 kV line will assist in providing for additional electric transmission capacity to enable new renewable generation develop-
ment, relieve congestion on the existing electric transmission system and increase electric transmission system reliability in Iowa. MidAmerican will seek easement rights from landowners for the pro-
posed line to be constructed across private property. The new easement width requested will generally be 150 feet.
In accordance with the Iowa Code, an Informational Meeting concerning this project will be held at the following time and location:
9:00 AM December 6, 2012
Humboldt County Fairgrounds
311 6th Avenue North - Humboldt, IA 50548
As a landowner or a party in possession of, or residing on property, affected by the location and construction of said electric transmission line, you have the right to be present at the Informational
Meeting mentioned above.
You also have the right to le with the Iowa Utilities Board, 1375 E. Court Street, Room 69, Des Moines, Iowa 50319-0069, objections to the location and construction of the proposed line as described.
A representative of the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) will preside over this Informational Meeting and will distribute and review a statement of the legal rights of landowners as required by law. Qualied
representatives of MidAmerican will also be at the meeting to discuss the project and answer your questions.
Persons with disabilities requiring assistive services or devices to observe or participate should contact the IUB at (515) 725-7300 in advance of the scheduled date to request that appropriate arrange-
ments be made.
Following the meeting, right-of-way personnel from the Company will begin contacting landowners to purchase voluntary easements. Later, the Company will le a petition for a franchise by county
with the IUB for permission to build the electric line and, if necessary, will request the right of eminent domain (condemnation) on property where voluntary easements have not been obtained. The IUB
decides whether to approve or deny the franchise through a hearing process. The IUB's decision is based on the record created at that hearing.
The duty of the IUB is to determine if the proposed electric line promotes the public convenience and necessity and meets the other requirements of Iowa law and IUB rules that apply. The IUB may
appoint an administrative law judge to preside over the hearing and issue a proposed decision. The administrative law judge's decision will become the nal decision of the IUB unless appealed to the
IUB by a party to the case within the time limit provided for in the proposed decision. When the IUB has decided the case, either initially or on appeal from the administrative law judge's proposed deci-
sion, the IUBs ruling may be appealed in the courts.
The IUB, in considering a petition for the right of condemnation, does so in an open and public process. If the IUB grants the right of condemnation, the Company will petition the chief judge of the
judicial district for the county involved to appoint a compensation commission. The compensation commission sets the compensation amount. The Company posts the amount of the award with the
Sheriff to be claimed by the landowner. The Company may then proceed with the work. The landowner or the Company may appeal the amount determined by the compensation commission to the
courts.
When this project is completed, the Company will meet with landowners to settle construction damages.
If in the event of inclement weather, determined by the cancellation or early dismissal of school/classes in the Humboldt School District due to weather on the date of this Information Meeting, the
meeting will be held on December 13, 2012 at 9:00 AM at this same location.
If you can not attend the meeting previously mentioned, additional meetings will be held at the following:

The Humboldt High
School Drama and Music
Departments proudly pres-
ent the Rodgers and Ham-
merstein Broadway musical
South Paci c this Thurs-
day, Friday and Saturday,
Nov. 1, 2, and 3, in the R.
W. Carlson auditorium.
South Paci c is a Rodgers
and Hammerstein classic,
which won a Pulitzer Prize
for Best Drama, as well as
10 Tonys when it debuted in
1949. Despite the passage of
60-plus years, it retains its
signi cance today, address-
ing themes of race, bigotry
and identity. Along with the
serious themes, many light-
hearted moments ll the
stage.
The Humboldt cast is led
by Jen Bentz as the hopeless-
ly romantic Nellie Forbush,
and Jake Helvick as French
planter Emile De Beque
singing the Richard Rodgers
classics Im Gonna Wash
That Man Right Outta My
Hair, and Some Enchanted
Evening. James Sobkoweak
plays Lt. Joe Cable who falls
in love with islander, Liat
(Andra Niles), and delivers
the central message of the
show in Youve Got To Be
Carefully Taught. Miranda
Pederson adds comic relief
with the character Bloody
Mary who tries to sell sou-
venirs to the sailors as well
as pair her daughter with
saxy Lt. Cable.
Most fun of all is watch-
ing the ensemble of sail-
ors and nurses, led by Sam
George as Luther Billis,
head of the bases laundry
operation. Sam leads the
talented sailors in a rousing
version of There Is Nothin
Like A Dame, and wiggles
around in a grass skirt and
coconut bra during Honey
Bun. The nurses are very
busy keeping track of Nel-
lys emotions in Im Gonna
Wash, and Im In Love
With A Wonderful Guy.
They also put on an unfor-
gettable Thanksgiving Fol-
lies show for the sailors of
the base.
Tickets for the show are
$6 adults and $3 students,
and are available in the high
school of ce. The curtain
will rise at 7:30 each eve-
ning. Dont miss this grand
musical performance.
Supervisors
approve funds
for Ottosen
By Kent Thompson
Worried about setting
a precedent, the Humboldt
County Board of Supervisors
begrudgingly approved a pay-
ment of $1,000 to the city of
Ottosen for street repair on
Monday.
The payment are funds the
city contends is owed them,
because it believes the work
should have been done by the
county in the rst place.
Ottosen Mayor Richard
Kinseth and Council member
Jason Fowler were at Mon-
days meeting, and explained
an issue with the intersection
with County Road C-20, the
main east/west thoroughfare
through town, and 2nd Street.
The city said there was 10
feet of the approach from 2nd
Street to C-20 that was not n-
ished, leaving a large drop off.
According to county re-
cords, C-20 was resurfaced
through Ottosen in 2004. The
work included milling off four
inches of surface, replacing
with a four-inch cold and place
and three-inch asphalt overlay.
Kinseth said County Engi-
neer Paul Jacobson told them
that the approach was not
nished because 2nd Street
was not up to grade. Kinseth
explained that the town coun-
cil had received several com-
plaints from citizens about
the road and contracted with
Blacktop Service Company of
Humboldt to make the street
repairs and lay 10 feet of as-
phalt to connect C-20 and 2nd
Street. In a letter to the super-
visors, the council asked for
$1,200 to pay for the repairs
for road work that was com-
pleted that it believed should
have been the countys respon-
sibility.
Even in towns under 500
population, we (the county)
run the paving through the
town corporate limits with a
20-22-feet overlay with a ve
foot ll on the side streets
and alleys, Jacobson told the
board.
Jacobson said the issue is
not unique to Ottosen, as there
are a number of city streets in
smaller towns that are not up
to grade. Look at K Road in
Livermore. Thor also had an

Planting a new
seed: H
um
boldt business expands
Theres a new building
rapidly going up on High-
way 3 East.
Its TRI County Agron-
omy, a Pioneer seed dealer-
ship owned by Joe Olson
and Dan Thompson. They
are constructing a 180 by
60 building, along with a
42 by 36 of ce area on the
south side of Highway 3 just
between John Deere and
Johns Ag Service.
The new building will
allow them to hold all their
seed and crop protection
products before spring. With
18 high sidewalls, theyll
be able to stack the Pioneer
Pro Boxes three high in the
warehouse.
It was an opportunity
to increase our capacity and
take delivery of all our ship-
ments whenever they are
ready. Ultimately it makes
us a more reliable supplier
for our customers, Olson
said.
With the purchase of the
lot, dirt work started in Au-
gust. They hope to fully be
in the new building by mid-
November and are planning
an Open House in Decem-
ber.
Both Olson and Thomp-
son agree this is an excit-
ing opportunity for them to
increase their services and
Pioneer footprint in the area.
Plans call for the instal-
lation of ve bulk soybean
Dan Thompson (left) and Joe Olson stand in front of the new location of TRI County Agronomy, located on High-

and they hope to be operating out of the new location by the middle of November. Submitted photo.

Humboldt County REC
earns million hour award
By Kent Thompson
In 1980, Ronald Reagan was energizing the electorate, Ab-
scam was uncovering public bribery, Pac-Man was gobbling
dots and ghosts and former Beatle John Lennon was assassi-
nated.
It was also the year that Humboldt County REC began a
streak that few organizations can equal, that is still going strong,
more than 32 years since it began.
On April 10, 1980, Humboldt County REC began day one of
not having a lost time accident.
Now, over one million employee work hours later, the elec-
tric cooperative celebrated with a recognition dinner Oct. 23,
honoring present and past employees for their accomplish-
ments.
The streak has enduring during the tenure of three general
managers, several board presidents and numerous employee
safety directors.
Henry Lenning was the general manager in 1980, succeeded
by Dennis Fuller in 1984, and Steve Long in 2000. Longs ten-
ure will be coming to a close at the end of this year, as Hum-
boldt County Rural Electric Cooperative will cease operations
after 76 years, merging with Midland Power Cooperative of Jef-
ferson.
Through it all, one constant has been an emphasis on safety,
REC present and past of cials, said at the celebration.
Long said the cooperative has built a culture of safety over
the years.
The key elements are supervision, education and training,
along with work rules and proper equipment, the general man-
ager said.
A lot of what we do today was started back in 1980. Were
still concerned about reliability, quality of service, commitment
to the members and commitment to safety.
This cooperative has always had the attitude that safety is
everyones business and everyone has taken on that responsibil-
ity, Long said.
Safety milestone is rare accomplishment

ring bells at any of the loca-
tions or dates, please contact
UDMO at (515) 332-3631 or
