A little rainy weather didn’t damper the spirits of Guthrie’s Rockin’ Retro Car Show on Satur-day afternoon in Guthrie Center.

Visitors stopped by during the gathering to look at over

100 vehicles, do a little shop-ping, enjoy some great food and listen to music.

“I just want to say thank you to everybody that showed up today with their cars,” said Stephanie Carlson, president of Hellkat Racers, who organized the event for a third straight year, with

help from many members of the club. “I know it was a little bit of a challenge with the weather, and I am so appreciative of all of you that did brave it today because I know that with our car, there’s a lot of shows that we miss because we don’t get to go in the rain, so I really, re-

ally do appreciate you show-ing up today and supporting the cause.”

Carlson also thanked the lo-cal businesses who supported the car show and everyone who showed up to check out the cars.

“I’m appreciative for all the local businesses between Guth-

rie Center, Panora and Adair that support my show,” she said. “Without them it would be extremely hard for me to put this show on. I appreciate all the local people that came and walked around today and took a look at all these really nice rides that showed up today.

My hat is off to you guys for showing up.”

Car enthusiasts were able to take a close look at a wide va-riety of cars, including vintage models, hot sports cars, modi-fied trucks, and antiques.

WORKSHOP, PAGE 11A

Those present at the dedica-tion included Rebecca Castle, project coordinator for Golden Hills RC&D, artist Hilde DeBruyne of Cumming, Dowd Drug Own-ers Jim and Janice Vandevanter and Main Street Guthrie Center (MSGC) Executive Director Dana Buster.

At the ceremony, Castle gave background information regarding the project, Buster thanked every-one who made the project pos-

sible, and DeBruyne explained the inspiration behind her art piece. Jim and Janice Vandevanter, who own the park west of Dowd Drug where the sculpture was placed, cut the ribbon.

A native of Belgium, DeBruyne is inspired by the wide open skies and rolling hills of Iowa. In prepa-ration for the project, she made visits to Guthrie Center, researched local history and listened to sto-ries from local people. She told

attendants that she wanted the sculpture to reflect the community.

“I wanted to play with the idea of wind, and driving up here, there’s such beautiful landscape,” De-Bruyne explained in a previous interview. “The wind has had a big impact on life here because it’s so open.”

The wind and landscape of rural Iowa inspired DeBruyne to cre-ate the sculpture in the shape of a windmill. In researching wind, she discovered a Native American proverb that she felt described the community of Guthrie Cen-ter well.

The proverb, which is engraved on the sculpture, reads “Listen to the wind, it talks. Listen to the silence, it speaks. Listen to your heart, it knows.”

LiHeAP to assist iowa households

In addition to raising money for Kid Zone Early Learning Cen-ters in Adair and Guthrie Center, the dance provided an opportu-nity for mothers and sons to step away from their busy lives and spend time together as a family.

The theme was superheroes, and both sons and their moth-ers arrived in costume. At the event, superheroes and their moms enjoyed minute-it-to-win-it games, played musical chairs and simply spent an af-ternoon together.

Young superheroes also had the opportunity to pose for pho-tos in front of two superhero-themed banners.

“I think the boys enjoyed get-ting to dress up,” said event or-

ganizer Shannon Neff-Muell. Between 50-60 superheroes

and moms attended the event, which raised approximately $600 after expenses.

Sponsors for the event includ-ed Guthrie County State Bank, La Villa, Robert Carr State Farm, Ja-cobsen Inc., Fay Pharmacy, Royal Neighbors, Exchange State Bank and NAPA Auto Parts in Adair. In addition, five members of Royal Neighbors volunteered their time at the dance.

“We were happy with the group that came out, and we’re thankful that we had the financial support from several sponsors,” said Neff-Muell. “We’re certainly wanting to continue to grow the event and have it be an annual thing.”

DES MOINES

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa Crop Progress and Condition report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“There are a handful of fields across the state that have been combined, but we are likely a week or two away from wide-spread harvest. We are seeing corn being chopped for silage and seed corn harvest taking place across the state,” North-ey said.

The weekly report is also avail-able on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Steward-ship’s website at www.IowaAgri-culture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia. The report summary follows here:

CROP REPORTIt was mostly dry in Iowa with

above normal temperatures for the week ending September 17, 2017, according to USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 6.2 days suitable for fieldwork. With increased heat and little moisture, crops matured rap-idly in the past week. Activities for the week included seeding cover crops, spreading manure, harvesting seed corn, chopping corn silage, and hauling grain.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 21 percent very short, 30 percent short, 49 percent adequate and 0 percent surplus. According to the September 12, 2017 U.S. Drought Monitor, parts of south central and southeast Iowa re-main in extreme drought status. Subsoil moisture levels rated 20 percent very short, 34 percent short, 46 percent adequate and 0 percent surplus.

Eighty-eight percent of the corn crop has reached the dent stage or beyond, eight days be-hind last year and three days be-hind the 5-year average. Thirty

percent of corn had reached ma-turity, six days behind last year and average. Reports were re-ceived from throughout the state that corn harvest for grain has begun. Corn condition declined slightly to 59 percent good to excellent. Seventy-four percent soybeans were turning color or beyond, two days behind last year but one day ahead of aver-age. Thirty-one percent of soy-beans were dropping leaves, one day behind average. Scattered soybean fields across most of the state have been harvested. Soybean condition dropped to 58 percent good to excellent.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay is nearly complete at 96 percent. Pasture conditions worsened over the past week with 47 percent poor to very poor. Livestock conditions re-main good, although there were scattered reports of flies and pink eye being an issue.

I OWA P R E L I M I N A RY WEATHER SUMMARY

It was a warm week across Iowa with temperatures aver-aging from one degree above normal southeast to 6 to 8 de-grees above normal over the north and west. It was very dry through the workweek with widespread rain finally arriv-ing over the weekend. Nearly all of the week’s rain fell between Friday (15th) morning and Sun-day (17th) morning. Rain totals varied from none over most of Scott and Clinton counties to 3.97 inches at Manning in Car-roll County. The statewide aver-age precipitation amount was 0.68 inches while normal for the week is 0.79 inches. Rains of one-half inch or better were widespread over most of the west two-thirds of Iowa. Tem-perature extremes varied from a 39 degree low at Lowden in Cedar County on Monday (11th) morning to highs of 94 degrees at Des Moines and Perry on Fri-day (15th).

The Low-Income Home Ener-gy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is designed to assist low-income Iowa households (homeowners and renters) in the payment of a portion of their residential heat-ing costs for the winter heating season, to encourage regular utility payments, to promote energy awareness and to en-courage reduction of energy usage through energy efficiency, client education, and weath-erization. All clients applying for this program will simulta-neously be making application for weatherization assistance as required by state law.

Applications will be taken by appointment starting Oc-tober 2, 2017, for households with elderly/disabled mem-bers (applications for oth-er households will be taken starting November 1) for the 2017-2018 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LI-HEAP). Applicants will need to furnish identification, a copy of their most recent heating and electric bill, and proof of all household members’ gross income for the past 30 days or the past calendar year.

Leftovers Don’t Last forever

For safe leftovers, follow these safe leftover tips: Set your re-frigerator temp at 40 degrees or below. When storing hot foods, store them in a shallow container. If leftovers are not eaten by the fourth day after storing, throw them away. Leave a pen and sticky notes near the fridge to label leftovers with the date when you prepared them.

How to Protect YourseLf from faD Diets

Fad diets are popular because they promise fast results. It is important to remember that if you’re overweight, you didn’t put that weight on overnight, and it’s unrealistic to think it

can be removed overnight or in 10-20 days. Protect yourself from fad diets that promise fast weight loss, restrict certain food groups, promotes specific food combinations or claim there is no need to be physically active.

Thank You from The Guthrie Co. Fair Board

Thank you’s are not easy to write because you are always afraid that you are going to forget someone. We want to thank the little guy that came to the secretary’s

window and gave us a quarter as a donation because the rides were free this year. We want to thank the many volunteers that put in massive hours of work and

donated materials to make our fairgrounds beautiful once again. We want to thank the lady that gave us a $20 bill for a $10 ticket as a donation. Thank you to our fair’s sponsors, many of you were new sponsors for the fair. Thank you to the

many donors that gave monetarily so that our fairgrounds could be brought back to a source of pride in Guthrie County. To all of you, we say thank you.

We took a gamble on offering free carnival rides this year. This new venture took several months of discussion at the fair board meetings. We all held our breath

as we absolutely did not know how it would turn out. We heard a few naysayers’ comments, but there are always those that see the glass as half empty. Progress

always requires a bit of a gamble and a lot of positive attitude. We rolled the dice and we came out winners. The daily attendance and open class exhibitor

numbers were the largest in years. Were there a few glitches? Of course there were. Growing pains always yields a

few glitches. We have already made a list of what needs to be fi xed or remedied before next year’s fair.

The two new barns were showcased with pride. We can never express our thanks enough to everyone that made those new barns possible. A few exhibits were

moved around and our fair turned into a U-shaped continuous hub of activity and fun for everyone.

So, to everyone involved, big or small, THANK YOU! It was truly a wonderful fair that will go down in the record books on many levels.

Sincerely,

The Guthrie Co. Fair Board

During September

it is time to ditch WOTUS

WOTUS or Waters of the United States is in the news again. WOTUS in the form as proposed in 2015 by the Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] and the Corps of Engineers [COE] would greatly expand the jurisdiction of the Federal government via the Clean Water Act of 1972. These two agencies proposed to do that under authority of administrative rule making that ultimately has the force of law without involving the legislative process of the Congress.

The Clean Water Act was originally limited to those waters that were considered to have been historically navigable for purposes of commerce. The intent of Congress was to limit the extent of “dredge and fill” activities within those navigable waters. It was intended to be limited to major rivers and streams and also to established wetlands. It was not intended to cover, as proposed in 2015 by the EPA and COE, such areas as ditches, riparian areas, non wetland areas, ponds, puddles, gullies, rivulets, etc; essentially every place that rain falls where that rainwater could ultimately flow into a river or stream that was historically navigable as originally defined by Congress in 1972. The 2015 WOTUS definition uses the term “significant nexus” which means any type of “connection” with a navigable river or stream. With this broad interpretation, basically every area, both rural and urban, would come under the jurisdiction of the EPA and the COE. About 97% of Iowa would be covered. This inclusion would come with heavy regulatory burdens and related expenses and non conformance could result in large fines and penalties. Implementation of this 2015 EPA and COE interpretation of the Clean Water Act has been delayed due to a nationwide stay of the rule by the US Court System since 2015. However, this may be only a temporary delay.

Now is the time to make our voices heard in support of the rescission of the 2015 version of WOTUS. We have until September 27, 2017 to support recission by making comments. You can do that by accessing the National Corn Growers Association website at www.ncga.com\wotus.

We can be assured that people are making comments in favor

of keeping the 2015 proposed interpretation of WOTUS that would result in much regulation and potential large penalties, fines, and litigation across basically all of Iowa. While we all want clean water, this burdensome, heavy regulatory approach is not the common sense way that works in Iowa. I urge you to make your comment now to rescind the 2015 version of WOTUS!

To the Editor:Beginning Monday,

September 25, we celebrate the first national Rail Safety Week across the country. The week, which is coordinated by Operation Lifesaver, a national rail safety organization, is intended to remind people to be safe around trains and railroad tracks and level crossings.

According to Operation Lifesaver, a train hits a person or vehicle about once every three hours in the United States. In Iowa, statistics from the Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis show there have been 476 highway-rail incidents since 2008. This year alone, at least five people have died and 23 have been injured from collisions with trains at level crossings or due to illegal trespassing on railroad tracks.

Railroads are an essential feature of the Iowa economy and play a key role for manufacturers, like the ethanol industry, throughout the state. Many Iowa communities have at least one railroad level crossing and, for most Iowans, trains are a familiar part of daily life. That’s why effective rail safety education programs are critical in promoting responsible behaviors on or near railroad tracks.

The Iowa chapter of Operation Lifesaver is dedicated to promoting rail safety in Iowa communities to help

prevent accidents involving trains. The organization’s “See Tracks? Think Train!” campaign includes educational materials such as a large model rail display and presentations about rail safety and the dangers of ignoring grade crossing signals, going around crossing gates or trespassing on train tracks. The information and presentations provided by Iowa Operation Lifesaver are targeted to schools and community groups, farmers and livestock operators, truck drivers and industrial facilities that rely on railroads for their businesses.

Educating citizens on the hazards of railroad tracks and promoting responsible behaviors around level crossings is an important endeavor that goes beyond a weeklong celebration. My company, Flint Hills Resources, owns and operates five ethanol plants in Iowa including the plant in Menlo and we rely heavily on railroads to support our business. Promoting safety is a top priority inside our company as well as in our local communities. That’s why we are proud to partner with Iowa Operation Lifesaver as well as local fire departments, first responders and others who are committed to helping make our communities safer.

During Rail Safety Week, Iowa Operation Lifesaver, along with sister chapters across the country, will take part in numerous rail safety education activities and presentations. The week kicks off with the signing of the Rail Safety Week Proclamation by Governor Kim Reynolds at the State Capitol. For more information on activities or to get involved, please visit Iowa Operation Lifesaver’s website at www.iowaoperationlifesaver.org.

As we acknowledge the upcoming Rail Safety Week, let us all remember that when we see railroad tracks, we immediately think trains.

Guthrie County Arts Council receives grant funding from Arts Midwest Touring Fund

Guthrie County Arts Council receives grant funding from the iowa Arts Council

The Guthrie County Arts Coun-cil is pleased to announce that it has received an Art Project Grant from the Iowa Arts Council, a di-vision of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs. Grant funds will support ‘A World of Music with Todd Green’ during the last week of September, consisting of four 60 minute school assemblies, a public lecture demonstration, and a 2 hour public concert per-formance. Global Multi-Instru-mentalist Todd Green will present and perform 25 musical instru-ments from all over the world at each of the engagements.

The ‘A World of Music with Todd Green’ program supports the Guthrie County Arts Coun-cil mission in bringing aware-ness of artistic endeavors to the community at large by present-ing performing and visual arts programs. Although the school programs will take place at AC/GC High School in Guthrie Cen-ter and Panorama High School in Panora, students have been invited to be bussed from the Coon Rapids-Bayard and West Central Valley districts as well. Country View Estates has also been invited to attend the day-time programs. Both evening pro-grams – lecture demonstration at the Saints Center for Culture

and the Arts in Stuart and con-cert performance at AC/GC High School in Guthrie Center – will be open to the public. The primary goal is to bring this highly edu-cational and culturally diverse program to our geographically underserved communities in or-der to foster understanding and tolerance towards peoples of oth-er cultures. The desired cultural impact is to vastly broaden the musical and cultural horizons of our rural residents who would need to make numerous trips to major metropolitan areas to experience the same.

“We are so thankful to have received grant funding for this project,” states Guthrie County Arts Council President Lynsi Pa-sutti of Stuart. “I believe the high quality of programming this proj-ect provides continues to elevate the arts and cultural impact our local arts council provides to the community. We are very excited to bring such an acclaimed per-former to our county and I really hope we have great attendance throughout the week – it really will be a one-of-a-kind experi-ence!”

Support for ‘A World of Music with Todd Green’ provided by the Iowa Arts Council, a division of the Iowa Department of Cul-

tural Affairs, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Guthrie County Arts Coun-cil brings together the artists of our county, encouraging them in their talents by providing means to display and sell their work, as well as brings aware-ness of artistic endeavors to the community at large by present-ing performing and visual arts programs. The Guthrie County Arts Council aims to create an atmosphere of appreciation of the uniqueness of artistic en-deavors for our community and encourage youth in their pursuit of the fine arts.

The Iowa Department of Cul-tural Affairs and its three divisions – the Iowa Arts Council, Produce Iowa-State Office of Media Pro-duction and the State Historical Society of Iowa – empower Iowa to build and sustain culturally vibrant communities by connect-ing Iowans to the people, places and points of pride that define our state. The department’s work enables Iowa to be recognized as a state that fosters creativity and serves as a catalyst for inno-vation where the stories of Iowa are preserved and communi-cated to connect past, present and future generations. www.iowaculture.gov.

The Guthrie County Arts Coun-cil has been selected to receive funding from Arts Midwest Tour-ing Fund, a program of Arts Mid-west, generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts with additional contribu-tions from the Iowa Arts Council and the Crane Group.

Arts Midwest Touring Fund engages people in meaningful experiences with the fine arts of dance, music, theater, and other performing arts forms. Inter-state touring and the engagement of professional artists is central to the work of Arts Midwest.

Arts Midwest Executive Direc-tor David J. Fraher says, “Arts Midwest is proud to support the Guthrie County Arts Council in their upcoming engagement of ‘A World of Music with Todd Green.’ Arts events like this not only provide uplifting experi-ences for audiences, they also create meaningful jobs for those employed in the arts industry – thus amplifying the effectiveness of our funding.”

‘A World of Music with Todd Green’ consists of four 60 min-ute school assemblies, a pub-lic lecture demonstration, and

a 2 hour public concert perfor-mance, all featuring 25 musical instruments from all over the world, played by Global Multi-Instrumentalist Todd Green, dur-ing the last week of September. The primary goal is to bring this highly educational and cultur-ally diverse program to the geo-graphically underserved com-munities of Guthrie County, in order to foster understanding and tolerance towards peoples of other cultures. The program has a potential cultural impact

You are hereby notified that there is a petition on file in the office of the clerk of the above court which petition prays for a judg-ment in rem against the property involved in this action for the sum of $139,871.50 with interest at 4.000% per annum from and in-cluding November 1, 2014, on the promissory note executed by Robert Dean McVey, a mar-ried person and mortgage executed by Rob-ert Dean McVey and Lesli McVey, husband and wife to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., as nominee for Gershman In-vestment Corp., its successors and assigns and assigned to Plaintiff, who is the sole and absolute owner thereof.

Plaintiff also prays in said Petition for the foreclosure of said mort-gage dated March 26, 2010 recorded in Book 2010 Page 0650 in the Recorder’s Office of Guthrie County, Iowa, with said note dated March 26, 2010 on the following described property, to-wit:

That portion of the West Half of the East Half of the Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter (W ½ E ½ SE ¼ SW ¼) of Section Thirty-three (33), Township Seventy-eight (78) North, Range Thirty (30), West of the 5th P.M., Guthrie County, Iowa, described as: Beginning at the Southwest corner of the North 860 Feet of said W ½ E ½ SE ¼ SW ¼ thence North 00°00`00” East along the West line thereof, 220 Feet; thence North 89°16`30” East 138 Feet; thence South 01°01`30” East 84 Feet; thence South 89°16`30” West 10 Feet; thence South 01°01`30” East 136 Feet to the North right-of-way line of North 2nd Street (formerly Nassau Street); thence South 89°16`30” West along the North right-of-way line 132 Feet to the point of beginning; EXCEPT a 10 Foot wide portion described as commencing at the Southwest Corner of said North 860.00 Feet of the W ½ E ½ SE ¼ SW ¼ (the West line of said tract is assumed to bear N. 00°00`00” E.); thence North 89°16`30” East, along the North right-of-way of North 2nd Street, 132.0 Feet; thence North 01°17`53” West, 136.00 Feet to the point of beginning; thence con-tinuing North 01°17`53” West, 84.00 Feet; thence North 89°16`30” East, 10.00 Feet; thence South 0l°17`53” East, 84.00 Feet; thence South 89° 16`30” West, 10.00 Feet to the point of beginning.

and also asking that said mortgage be declared a prior and superior lien to that of each of the above named Defendants; for appointment of a receiver; for the amount paid by Plaintiff for attorneys’ fees, abstract expense, costs and accruing costs of this ac-tion; that special execution issue for the sale of said real estate to satisfy said judgment, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs and for such other and further relief as may be just and equitable.

FOR FURTHER PARTICULARS, SEE COPY OF PETITION NOW ON FILE.

YOU WILL HAVE NO RIGHT OF REDEMPTION AFTER THE SALE. THE PUR-CHASER AT THE SALE WILL BE ENTITLED TO IMMEDIATE POSSESSION OF THE MORT-GAGED PROPERTY. YOU MAY PURCHASE AT THE SALE.

Todd Green has astounded au-diences across the country with his original music performed on over 30 string, flute and percus-sion instruments from all over the world. His concert will be enhanced by three five-chan-nel “loopers,” which allow him to layer many instruments for his trademark “solo-ensemble” performance. As fascinating to watch as to listen to, Todd inter-sperses his playing with enter-taining explanations of the music and the instruments. Prepare to be amazed.

“Todd Green comes highly rec-ommended by many arts coun-cils, colleges and concert asso-ciations all over the country and his artistic mission ‘to help break down the barriers that divide us by experiencing other cultures through their music’ is an admi-rable one in our ever-shrinking world,” said Guthrie County Arts Council President Lynsi Pasutti of Stuart. “This program is very much in line with our mission ‘to bring awareness of artistic endeavors to the community at large by presenting performing and visual arts programs.’ Simi-larly, our vision is ‘to create an atmosphere of appreciation of the uniqueness of artistic en-deavors for our community and encourage youth in their pursuit of the fine arts.’ We believe the extraordinary culturally diverse and artistic excellence of Todd Green’s presentations will vastly broaden the cultural horizons of our community members,

and we are so thankful to have received grant funding to make it all happen.”

The week-long program tar-gets a wide audience throughout the county with four 60-minute school programs, a lecture dem-onstration, and two-hour pub-lic concert performance, each featuring 25 musical instru-ments from all over the world, performed by Todd Green. Both Panorama High School (Mon-day) and AC/GC High School (Thursday) will host a morning and afternoon program, one each for 3rd-5th graders and 6th-8th graders, as well as high school art and music students. Students from each of the county’s school districts have been invited to at-tend, as well as individuals from Country View Estates.

On Tuesday evening, Todd Green will be joined by mod-erator Sophia S. Ahmad of Des Moines for a public lecture and demonstration at the Saints Cen-ter for Culture and the Arts in Stuart at 7:00 p.m. Sophia is cur-rently the Senior Director of De-velopment for Mercy Founda-tion, and formerly the Director of Marketing and Public Relations for the Des Moines Symphony and Academy, as well as more recently, the Vice President of Public Relations for the Great-er Des Moines Partnership. So-phia is a professionally trained classical pianist with a Master of Music from Eastman School of Music. In a ‘Forty Under 40’ feature by Business Record in 2016, Sophia was quoted say-ing, “Communicating through instrumental music is what I believe to be one of the most

abstract yet profound methods of interaction, and it is a joy to use many elements of this skill set on a daily basis.” The lecture demonstration will be a casual and informal opportunity for at-tendees to get a closer look at the many instruments Todd Green plays, while conversing with both musicians in a discussion likely to compare Western music his-tory and education with other cultures’, and more. The lecture demonstration is a free-will do-nation program and is open to the public, but please no unac-companied children.

The week-long programming will conclude on Saturday eve-ning, with a two-hour concert at the AC/GC High School Audito-rium at 7:00 p.m., preceded by a half-hour quiet, strings-only live prelude (starting at 6:30 p.m). Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for seniors, and $5 for youth unless accompanied by an adult. All are welcome to attend this public performance with admission fees contributing to the Guthrie County Arts Council’s matching grant funds.

Todd Green has been writing and performing his own music professionally since the age of fifteen. He studied composition, arrangement and performance at Berklee College of Music and privately with Guitar Greats George Benson, Pat Metheny, Christopher Parkening and Mick Goodrick. He has also studied ethnic instruments, including the Indian Bansuri Flute with masters Sachdev and Steve Gorn, and many other instruments with players from around the world who now reside in New York City and San Francisco. Most of Todd’s 45 years as a profes-sional musician were spent on the East Coast, especially New York City, where he performed with the top echelon of studio musicians and toured extensively with bands throughout the Unit-ed States, Canada and Europe. In 1988, Todd decided to trade in the manmade mountains of New York City for the real ones in Montana to pursue his own

music full time. Todd stopped playing the electric guitar to con-centrate on acoustic music and has since performed as a solo art-ist for concert associations, arts councils and colleges throughout the United States and Canada. His column on improvisation and composition has been published in Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine, where he also received kudos for his first recording “Awakening.” Currently a resident of the Lake Tahoe area, Todd’s discography include his companion record-ings, Sequel to an Unfinished Sto-ry, Vol.1, “Celebration” and Vol. 2, “Meditation,” each with 24 tracks of original music, performed on well over 40 instruments from around the world, followed by “The Voice Within” dedicated to the Feminine, “Beneath a Starlit Sky,” his most versatile record-ing with Jazz and Blues pieces added to his World Music, and “Composing the Silence,” featur-ing 26 tracks of solo improvisa-tions on 22 string instruments He is also the author of Sparks from Life’s Flint--Meditations for the Future Soul, Today, a book of 365 poems. Todd is a 2017 Art-ist Fellowship recipient, Nevada Arts Council’s top artistic rec-ognition, as well as a recipient of an Award of Excellence from Traditional Association for Cul-tural Harmony.

Support for ‘A World of Music with Todd Green’ provided by the Iowa Arts Council, a divi-sion of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Additionally, this presentation is supported by the Arts Mid-west Touring Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional con-tributions from the Iowa Arts Council and the Crane Group.

to go to a particular business. “If I’m passing on the highway

and I google ‘clothing boutique’ and you guys aren’t on the map, I’m not coming in,” Johnson told attendants. “That means I’m not going to stop and get gas or lunch or check out the other stores in town.”

Johnson explained that busi-nesses who have their infor-mation on Google Maps have a positive effect on all other businesses in the community. If potential customers find what they are looking for on Google and come into town, they are likely to spend money at other local businesses as well.

According to Google, 100 per-cent of businesses are eligible to be on Google Maps. The ser-vice is free, but if owners wish to have added features and come up closer to the top of a Google Search, AdWords, a paid service, is also an option.

“At last count, 35-40 percent of businesses were on Google search,” said Johnson, “so we still have a lot of work to do.”

To get a business on Google, owners can go to www.gybo.com/business and follow a three-step process to get started. A Gmail account is all that is required, and

WORKSHOPFROM PAGE 1A

the process can be completed from a desktop computer, lap-top, tablet or smart phone. An application called “Google My Business” is available for cell phone use.

Users can add information such as location, hours and phone numbers for the business. In addition, guests can leave re-views on Google, and the owner can read and respond to them.

“You want all of your infor-mation at people’s fingertips,”

said Johnson. “Essentially what you want when people search for your business is to be close to the top.”

Johnson strongly suggests adding photos, using various social media platforms and get-ting others to leave a positive review when first starting out.

Anyone wishing to get their business on Google Maps who needs additional assistance can contact Lynsi Pasutti at Midwest Partnership.

The goal of the Byways of Iowa Public Art Initiative is to encourage arts engagement by installing art along the Scenic Byways of Iowa. A total of 15 Iowa communities, including Guthrie Center, were chosen for the project.

Planning for the art piece began in April of 2016 when MSGC was notified that Guth-rie Center had been selected as a location for the project. An Art Selection Committee was formed, and members of

the committee included Jim and Janice Vandevanter, Kel-ly Nielson, Pat Sleister, Greg & Heather Opseth, Nancy Smith and Darwin Hughes. In Octo-ber, DeBruyne was selected to create the sculpture.

This project was made pos-sible thanks to the contribu-tions of the Western Skies Sce-

nic Byway, the Guthrie County Community Foundation, Jim and Janice Vandevanter, Guthrie Center Main Street, the Byways of Iowa Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Iowa Byways, the Iowa Arts Council, Casey’s General Stores, Golden Hills RC&D and private dona-tions.

SPORTSacgc looks to bounce back at tri-center neola

Guthrie Center Times

Kate Crawford raced to her fourth individual title of the season at the Panorama Cross Country meet on Thursday, Sep-tember 14 and lead the ACGC girls to a second place team fin-ish in Panora.

Emma Swanson finished fifth and Lauryn Embleton seventh for the Chargers, who scored 91 points and trailed host Panora-ma who tallied 43 to win the 14-team championship.

Keely Vasey finished 29th and Jackie Trujillo-Garcia 49th to round out the scoring runners for the Chargers on the Par 3 West Golf Course at Lake Pan-orama in Panora.

Noah Nelsen ran to a fourth place finish to pace the ACGC boys team. The Chargers fin-ished sixth in the 19-team field.

“This was by far the largest field that we had competed with, and one of the most talented for both the girls and boys teams,” ACGC coach Colin Shawgo said.

Shawgo said Crawford was able to pull away at the beginning of the race and cruise to her fourth first place finish.

“The rest of the girls team had gutsy races to beat a ranked Tri-Center team to finish second to Panorama,” Shawgo said. “The team was dealing with a lot of injury and sickness, but still proved that they deserve a top 15 ranking.”

The Charger boys, Shawgo said, faced a daunting task. Of

the teams competing, seven were ranked including the Chargers. To make matters tougher for ACGC, they entered the meet without Clay Billheimer, who consistently scores for the Chargers.

“The Charger pack really helped pick up the slack and fin-ished higher up then they usu-ally do,” Shawgo said. “Overall, coach (Aaron) Dose and I were extremely happy with how the boys team fought through the adversity.”

For a second week in a row, the ACGC offense struggled to find it’s rhythm.

AHSTW of Avoca returned a punt 75 yards for a score late in the second quarter to build a 22-0 lead at the halftime break, and went on to defeat the host Chargers 36-0 in a Class 1A Dis-trict 7 football game played in Guthrie Center on Friday night.

“We felt like the right team came out to play, the boys came out ready to play hard and ag-gressive,” ACGC head coach Mark McDermott said, comparing his team’s start to a lackluster one in a 42-6 loss to Missouri Val-ley a week earlier. “We kind of lacked some of that when we played Missouri Valley so we were happy they came back this week and went out and tried hard.

We took a lot of positives away from the game.”

AHSTW took an early 14-0 lead and the Chargers had some op-portunities to keep it close at the half.

“A play here or there, it could have been 14-0 or 14-7,” Mc-Dermott said.

Offensively, the Chargers struggled to get anything going.

“I thought we’d be able to run the ball a little better than we did,” McDermott said. “They are big up front and have a nice line-backer, No. 34, he’s tough and quick and likes to hit and we had some trouble with him.”

Cole Boyer rushed 15 times for 47 yards to lead the Chargers, who were held to just 56 yards rushing on 34 carries. Sophomore quarterback Bryce Littler threw

The Adair-Casey/Guthrie Center volleyball team went 5-0 and captured first place at their home tournament played at the high school gym in Guthrie Center on Satur-day, September16.

The Chargers defeated Un-derwood, Coon Rapids-Ba-

yard, and Glidden Ralston to win their pool. In the tourna-ment portion, the Chargers beat Audubon in the semi-final game and Colfax-Mingo in the championship game. Senior captains Mady Smith and MaKayla Hoing earned all tournament team honors.

“Winning the tournament was a total team effort,” said Charger head coach Lyndsey Noe, who has her team at 13-5 on the season. “Everyone con-tributed and played hard all day.”

Smith and Hoing earned their all tournament team honors offensively by lead-ing the team in kills while Chelsea Larsen assisted them. Olivia Laabs and Genevieve Hoover had a great day from the serving line, and defen-sively, nothing was getting by them, said Noe.

Jadeyn Carrick, Savana Full-er, and Sierra O’Brien were credited for being forces at the net with strong blocks to clutch kills.

“This is definitely the mo-mentum we need going into this week,” Noe said, look-ing ahead to key conference matches against Des Moines Christian Tuesday and Ogden Thursday in Guthrie Center.

The Chargers (1-3 overall, 0-2 in the district) will travel to Neola Friday to battle Tri-Center (1-3 overall, 0-2 in the district) in a 7:00 p.m. contest.

“We look forward to this week, going to Tri-Center and hopefully we can get another win on the road,” McDermott said. “They are 1-3, same as us, they’re score with Avoca was 43-0, so there’s a good comparable. They have a big, physical fullback in (Ben) Sorenson that we’ll have to take care of, so we’ll get a plan de-veloped for that.”

Sorenson has rushed for 561 yards and nine touchdowns on 73 carries this season. He is also the team’s leading tackler with 18 solo stops, including four for loss.

The Charger boss said he ex-pects to see some good things from his club this week.

“One at a time,” McDermott said. “We have Tri-Center so hopefully we can go there, and there’s some things we think we can do to their defense and get our offense back on track.”

The No. 3 ranked Audubon football team had another big week on the field when they hosted the Hawks from West Harrison in homecoming ac-tion on Friday. The Wheelers who were 3-0 man-handled the Hawks, shutting them out by a final of 68-0. Audubon picked up their fourth straight mercy rule win after continu-ous clock took affect at the start of second quarter after putting up 35 points on the home side of the score board in the first frame.

Audubon scored on their first possession after West Harrison was force to punt on a 4th and 15. The Wheel-ers took just three downs to punch in their first touchdown on the night when Wheeler quarterback Tyler Riebhoff handed the ball to Dustin Andreasen for a short one-yard trek into the end zone. Audubon’s Roope Niskanen continued to hone his kick-ing skills giving the Wheelers a 7-0 lead.

Midway through the quarter Nolan Smith put another six points on the Audubon side of the scoreboard on a four-yard gain leaping into the end zone. Niskanen made it a 14-0 lead.

Josh Lange was at the right place at the right time when he caught the Hawk’s punt and returned it 37-yards for his first TD of the night. Nis-kanen remained perfect hit-ting his third extra point.

On the Wheelers next pos-session Riebhoff found Lange at the 27-yard line. Lange scored for the second time in the quarter.

The Hawks fumble on the 12-yard line which was caused by Audubon’s Luke Mosinski. Lane Lawsom picked up the lose ball and returned it to the end zone putting the Wheelers up 35-0 as the clock ran out in first frame action.

Lange struck again when he caught the Hawks punt returning it 35-yards for the Wheelers in second quarter aciton. Niskanen’s PAT was off but the Wheelers continued to cruise scoring with both their offensive and defense on the field.

With 6:07 left before the half Riebhoff kept the ball and trekked 15-yards into the end zone pushing the Wheelers up 48-0 which a successful PAT.

Smith wrapped up first half scoring action with another 15-yard run for the goal. Ni-skanen went 7-8 in first half PAT’s and at the break Audu-bon led 55-0.

The Wheelers big lead gave Audubon’s underclassmen the opportunity to get some play-ing time. Backup quarterback Skyler Schultes gave the ball to Jackson Jensen for a short five-yard jaunt into the zone to extend the lead 61-0 after a missed PAT in the third quar-ter. The Wheelers posted six points in the third quarter.

Freshman Joel Klocke scored a final time for Audubon on four-yard run into the south end zone with 7:53 remain-ing on the clock.

Students from AC/GC High School went on a trip to Greece and Italy through the Travel Club July 24-August 2.

Junior Noah Nelson said that he en-joyed, “walking around Athens and see-ing the Acropolis.”

Blaine Beeler, a junior, thought that the Sistine Chapel looked much dif-ferent than any of the pictures on the internet or on tv.

Sophomore Reagan Rumelhart was shocked that most of their roads were still cobblestone, not paved.

Many students including Noah Nel-son, Reagan Rumelhart, Kaitlyn Ken-yon, and Emily Pavelka got souvenirs blessed by the pope; Kelbie See got a

coffee mug that says “Roma.”Blaine Beeler’s favorite souvenir was a lava rock necklace from Pompeii. Even though every student had their own experiences, there was one thing in common; they all said they would do it again.

Jason Goff, son of Patricia Goff, moved to the AC/GC School Dis-trict from West Orange High School in Winter Garden, Florida, about 12 miles west of Orlando.

The sophomore says AC/GC is smaller than his previous school, the students are nicer, and it’s just better overall.

He has three brothers: Cody Goff, Michael Goff, and Chase Black. Some of his favourite school subjects include Alge-bra II and English II.

Meet one of AC/GC’s new-est students, Aubrey Chmeler. Daughter of Larry and Micki Chmelar, Aubrey will be added to AC/GC’s junior class. Raised in Washington, Iowa, Aubrey grew up with her siblings Nicole, Tif-fany, Grace, Beth, Chris and Tim Chmelar. Change for the Chme-lars is something they’ve been looking forward to.

Before attending with the Chargers this year, Aubrey was homeschooled at Mid-Prairie Schools. Although, she com-pares AC/GC to be much bigger, Aubrey has enjoyed participat-ing in cross country and PE. She hopes to take advantage of the classes offered here to aspire a cosmetology career. Although we’re only a few weeks into this school year, Aubrey already has one thing in common with the rest of the student body; she is anxious for this school year to be over.

July 24-august 2, students from ac/Gc High School went on a trip to Greece and Italy through the Travel club.

They had a lot of different experiences and wanted to share some of them with the entire school.

Many of the students’ favorite part was the Vatican City, but senior Kelbie See said her favorite site was , “The

Coliseum, because it was so big and beautiful and has so much history inside of it.”

David Mendez, son of Cre-cencio and Eivila Mendez and brother of five other siblings, Erika,Agustin,Oscar,Mariela,and Jrobi Mendez, is a new student at AC/GC. David is a freshman and has had previous education at Oaxaca, Mexico.

When David was ask how AC/GC High School was compared to his previous school, he said he thinks that AC/GC is bigger and has a lot more to offer.

As for activities, David is in-terested in joining the basket-ball program. His favorite school subject is Spanish. In the future, David aspires to speak more Eng-lish by the end of his freshman year. What David is excited for this year is the chance to make new friends, participate in ac-tivities, and learn a lot.

Ms. Lyndsey Noe is the new Eng-lish teacher and head volleyball coach at AC/GC. Ms. Noe has previously taught at two other districts, West Branch Commu-nity School and Cardinal Com-munity. Her inspiration to be-come a teacher was the love to work with kids at a daycare and because her sister was a teacher. She didn’t want to teach at first but ended up loving it. Compared to her previous schools, she says this community is more involved with many of the activities and “show a lot of support for our athletic activities.”

Ms. Noe manages her new class-room with expectation and a bal-ance of rules and work. She be-lieves if the students work hard enough, they get privileges in the classroom. She would enjoy seeing everyone give each other respect and for her to see herself adapt to the classes and personality of students.

One of her biggest challenges that she will have to face is grad-ing.

What she wants students to know about her is that she cares

about them, and they can come to her any time. They should be successful in what they do.

“Every kid is important,” said Ms. Noe.

Friday, September 8, auditions were held for this year’s musi-cal The Wizard of Oz. The cast has been chosen and rehears-als have already begun. AC/GC musical director Kelsey Moran said she decided to do The Wiz-ard of Oz this year because, “It’s always been my favorite mu-sical, and everyone knows the story, plus, it requires a huge cast that can be versatile with gender and talent. It’s also fan-tasy, which makes it a little more fun and less technical than last year’s show.”

What was different this year compared to previous years? “We had over 40 auditions this year, partially because everyone in choir this year was required to take part in the musical in some way. This actually pushed up total numbers to 65 people tak-ing part. This also meant that for the first time ever, callbacks were required for all the major parts.”

One of the hardest parts was, in fact, choosing the cast. Mo-ran judged the students on a mix of talent, reliability, and dependability.

However, Moran is excited for one thing in particular. “I played Dorothy my senior year at Coon Rapids-Bayard, and next week I’m actually going down there and picking up costumes. So the same dress I wore in my production is going to get worn here, and I just think that’s re-ally cool.”

One last thing to say to any-one wondering if they should go to the show. “Get down here and watch the awesome show all these amazingly talented kids have put together; you won’t be sorry.”

ISU Athletics

AKRON, OHIO

With his long hair, full beard and lanky build, Jacob Park looks more like a rock star than a quarterback. He was both on Saturday afternoon.

Park passed for 317 yards and two touchdowns, including a 43-yarder to Marchie Murdock, as Iowa State pulled away in the second half for a 41-14 victory over Akron.

The 6-foot-4, 210-pound ju-nior completed 24 of 33 throws without an interception and also scored on a 14-yard run for the Cyclones (2-1), who equaled a school record by topping 40 points for the third straight game to start the season.

“Jacob is just so wild out there, but that’s his way of playing,” said wide receiver Allen Lazard, who caught a 7-yard TD from Park. “Even when he’s running

around and is off-balance, he just throws the ball around and is having fun.”

Park offered no excuses for his freewheeling style, which allowed him to make the key play of the game after Akron (1-2) had trimmed Iowa State’s lead to 20-14. He used a spin-move to elude a defender then sprinted to his right before hit-ting Murdock in stride over the middle for the TD that deflated the Zips’ dreams of an upset.

“Jacob is a different cat,” Mur-dock said, chuckling. “It shocked me when I got the ball because I was on the back side of the play and he was still running, but he put it right on the mon-ey. That was a tough play, and to his credit, he made it easy for me.”

Sophomore David Mont-gomery rushed for 127 yards and a score as the Cyclones set a school mark by gaining

400 yards for the sixth game in a row.

Park has thrown for more than 200 in all six — and over 300 in three of the last four — but insists that his team can be better.

“We should be scoring 50 or 60 a game because we’ve left points on the table by shoot-ing ourselves in the foot a lot,” Park said. “If we play like this against Texas, we lose. That was (coach Matt) Campbell’s point to everyone.

“But that’s why I love this place. You’ve got to earn ev-erything. It was fun today.”

TAKEAWAYSIOWA STATE: The Cyclones

outgained Akron 170-45 in the first quarter, but lost their mojo after taking a 14-0 lead. Once the third period began, they rode Park and Montgomery, who combined for nine consecutive touches totaling 87 yards. The

strategy was sound and kept the Zips guessing. “I thought it was great the way we fought back after halftime, but we must get better,” Campbell said.

AKRON: Senior Thomas Woodson displayed strong re-solve despite being sacked five times in the first half, finish-ing 25 of 40 for 240 yards. The third-year starter tossed a pair of second-quarter touchdowns, highlighted by a 45-yarder down the left sideline to Kwadarrius Smith. “We were able to con-nect on a deep ball and make some pass plays, and that’s what got it going,” Zips coach Terry Bowden said.

KEY NUMBERSIOWA STATE: LB Joel Lan-

ning, who started 14 games at QB over the last three seasons, recorded his first career inter-ception and sack. He had 1 1/2 sacks and a team-high eight tackles. .
