By Tyler Anderson/Despite possessing a 4-1 lead as late as

the fourth inning, the Southeast Valley Jaguars

baseball team fell to the Maple Valley-Athon-OtoRams (19-10), 5-4, on July 22 at Merchants Parkin Carroll. The Jaguars end their season with a21-7 record and enjoyed a remarkable inauguralseason. In the rst inning of the ballgame, startingpitcher Curt Castenson found himself in a jam asthe Rams eventually loaded up the bases. How-ever, freshman Dakota Jaeschke and the Jaguardefense held Maple Valley-Anthon-Oto in check,as Jaeschke caught a foul ball popped up in shal-low left eld while the ineld played its part withelders choices to get out of the inning. As Maple Valley-Anthon-Oto start-ing pitcher Korey Kuhlmann kept the Jaguarbats locked down, the Jaguar elders held theirground. While Jaeschke hauled in another foulterritory catch, the Jaguars strand another threerunners on base. The Rams break the ice in the third in-ning, as senior third baseman Logan Buth wouldcross the plate with the help of a single from ju-nior rst baseman Derik Via.

While Maple Valley held onto a 1-0 leadin the bottom of the third, Southeast Valley batsnally struck their pitches. Starting with a wildpitch from Kuhlmann on the third strike that

allowed sophomore Cameron Anderson ontorst base, sophomore centerelder Cade Kingwould drop a hit to lefteld and get away fromleftelder. As Anderson crossed the dish after awild throw that zoomed past junior catcher Dar-rik Kerns, King would turn on the jets to beat thethrow home and score an inside the park home-run.

Southeast Valley continued to batterKuhlmann in the bottom of the fourth inning,which saw sophomore utility man Andrew Dor-age chop in a double to shallow center, Jaeschkebring in Dorage with another double. With thelead stretched to 3-1, a Spencer Johnson bunt

would confuse the Rams inelders to load upthe bases. Then, King would hit a sacrice y tobring in Jaeschke to extend the lead to 4-1.

Unfortunately for Southeast Valley, theirstrings of runs would end as Dancso would catcha pop y from freshman [position] Myles Davisto get the Rams out of the inning.

Over the next two innings, Maple Valley-Athon-Oto began to gnaw away at the Jaguarlead, with a sac y by Conor Collins to bring inKerns and Buth in the fth inning. The follow-ing inning saw the Rams complete the comebackas Kuhlmann would hit an RBI double to bring

in eighth grader Colby Seuntjens as Kuhlmannwould score due to a elders choice to rst toput the Rams ahead, 5-4. The bottom of the seventh inning looked

as if it was a case of dj vu for the Jaguars, asKing would hit a double while Davis advancedKing by way of a sacrice bunt. Sadly, Casten-

son chopped a Kuhlmann pitch and saw the ballfall in between the pitcher and rst base. The se-nior gave his all in the following sprint, but wastagged out before reaching rst.

The Dayton Review and Gowrie Newswould like to extend a job well done to the South-east Valley Jaguars players and coaching staff ona wonderful and memorable season.

It seems that school just got out for thesummer and yet for most Iowa children it willopen again very soon. The lists are or soonwill be out for the supplies each child is to have

when they start or return to school. The kidsare concerned about this, of course, but theyare more interested in seeing what the shops areshowing for the well dressed child or teen-ager. They want to be part of the in crowd.Parents are concerned about how they are go-ing to work these additional expenses into theirfamily budgets. I know I am happy not to havethis to contend with. Last year in Des Moines the lists of sup-plies needed by just grade school children cost

Do you remember the mail order days?an average of $50.00 each, even at the specialprices the discount stores were offering. Mychurch has adopted a local grade school and,as last year, will be collecting school supplies

to take to the school for those children whoseparents are not nancially able to provide allthe necessities. This school is one where 100%qualify for either reduced price or free schoollunches. We also provide jars of peanut butterand jelly during the school year to put in Fri-day back backs for a number of the children.In passing I have noticed that much of chil-drens clothing is often nearly as expensive asthose for adults. I am trying to remember back to myown grade school years long time ago, youknow. I think we went to school with a BigChief large page, wide lined sheets tablet 5

cents, a couple no. 2 yellow lead pencils, alsonot too costly, a packet of basic eight colorcrayons, perhaps a spiral notebook or two forarithmetic and writing, etc., probably anotherten cents each. We could get the initial thingswe needed for less than a $1.00. Of coursecoffee was only around 35 cents a pound andto be made weaker if it was getting low be -fore the household money was replenished.There were no school prepared lunches thenso most of us, except perhaps town kids, tookour lunches from home.

Another thing I remember was gettingthe new Sears & Roebuck and MontgomeryWard mail order catalogs and pondering overthem again and again. I would nd a dress,skirt or blouse I liked and show it to Mom.Guess what -- there was no immediate order inthe mail for that clothing. There might be onefor material if a trip to Boone or Fort Dodgeto the dry goods section of one of their storeshad not occurred. Then maybe before schoolstarted or shortly thereafter I would have somenew clothes that were quite similar to thosepictured in the catalogs. My Mom wasnt theonly mother who sewed quite well and thatwas still on the old treadle machine. She had a

knack for changing a basic pattern into a mod-ern miracle.

There was another catalog that cameto our house and that was (hopefully spelledcorrectly) Spiegels. I dont think many itemswere ordered from them but it must have beenoften enough to keep the catalogs coming. The Sears and Wards catalogs hadmany other enticing items in addition to cloth-ing. There were all kinds of gadgets and ap-pliances for homes, hardware items, somefurniture, and TOYS and BICYCLES! AfterI got my bike I would look and look at the ac-

cessories you could get for bikes. I eventuallygot a basket for the front. That was after mov-ing into town. It came in handy in the summerwhen I would run store errands for Mom. Ialso had a special pad that I put in it hoping toget my little Tina dog to want to ride in it. Shewould have none of it, preferring to ride in thecrook of my left arm, snuggled close to me.While still on the farm I evidently had man-aged to save some of my coins and amassedenough to order a siren for my bike and I wasallowed to get it from the catalog. It attachedto the front wheel fork and had a chain run-ning up to the hand grip on the left side. Whena rider got the speed up on the bike, the chaincould be pulled and a small rod like part of thesiren made contact with the sidewall of the tireengaging siren which emitted a surprisinglyloud realistic sound. Bonnie, my friend fromHope Station, and I had a great time playingcops and robbers then. The cop got the bikewith the siren and yes, I did let her be the coponce in a while and lock me in the corn cribjail. Those catalogs offered many hoursof wishing enjoyment over and over, untilthe new seasonal ones came and the old ones

were relegated to the outhouse.

Along with the creation of a man-made lake to enhance the atmosphere of IowaCentral, the new Triton Cafe looms in the distance - created to accommodate the growingstudent population of the Fort Dodge campus.

By Tyler AndersonSince its establishment in 1966, Iowa

Central Community College has been at theforefront at combining a two-year degree planwith a four-year collegiate atmosphere. Servingnine counties, the recent years have seen IowaCentral take leaps and bounds to remain a leaderin the region. When onetravels to the maincampus on the westside of Fort Dodge,what was once a ve

building campuswith no studenthousing in the mid90s has expandedto a sprawling 12building campus with14 student housingfacilities. Tower Drive, once snaking down tothe Administration Building, is now a spaciouspedestrian mall with lush landscaping and wideopen space. In short, Iowa Central has underwenta complete metamorphosis compared to pastyears. However, theres more to Iowa Central

than just new buildings and strategicallyplaced trees, shrubs and a manmade lake. Toillustrate the changes, what was then a daycareat the Administration Building now houses thespacious, inviting ofce of Dr. Dan Kinney, thePresident of Iowa Central Community College.

Weve changed quite a bit a lotactually, Kinney said, after speaking about thetransition from the daycare to administrativeofces and talking about the overall changesconcerning the college. This is mainly becauseof growth and whats happening with the

Iowa Central Community Collegeoffers 4-year collegiate atmosphere

art one of three. . .

number of students that were getting. Going up the hallway and to the front ofthe building is the corner ofce of Tom Beneke,the Vice President of Enrollment Managementand Student Development. Along with Kinney,his ofce reects a sports theme. From a pictureof Larry Bird at Indiana State University to

numerous Iowa Centralmemorabilia, Benekedescribed what makesIowa Central stand outfrom other communitycolleges.

Weve createda real collegiateatmosphere that Ithink students lookto when they wantto continue theireducation, Beneke

said. Were unique when you look at uscompared to other community colleges in thestate, if not the Midwest. We have a very largeathletic department and we have a very largeperforming arts department. We also have anarray of clubs and organizations that studentswant to be involved in when they continue their

education from high school.

Our number one goal is toprovide a skilled workforcefor our region and to provide

students within our ninecounties an affordable andaccessible education.

Kinney echoes the same sentimentas far as sponsoring numerous athletic andperformance arts programs.

Were a community college unlikemost community colleges, Kinney said. Youdont nd a community college that houses over1,100 students and have the number of activitieswith athletics and ne arts. Were a four-yearschool that offers two-year degrees. Weregiving students the experience. Former students and Triton alumni can

see that the Hanson Center once a place wherenumerous students congregated in betweenclasses along with housing the residential dininghall is now home to a Culinary Arts program.Students formerly traveled a few ights of stairsof the Liberal Arts building to reach the libraryand computer lab.

In moving out of the Hanson Centerand Liberal Arts building respectively, theseplaces of activity moved to the new StudentResource Center and Triton Caf. Another

important part of the community college, theBookstore, moved from the small locationinside the Decker Auditorium building tothe Student Resource Center. These changeswere designed to accommodate the growingstudent population and create a more collegiate,spacious environment.

A lot of changes have evolved throughhere at Iowa Central, Kinney said, linking thechanges done by Iowa Central to its overallmission to provide a solid education. Ournumber one goal is to provide a skilled workforcefor our region and to provide students withinour nine counties an affordable and accessibleeducation. Our changes are driven by whatshappening with economic development in ourregion, in our state and in our nation. With these changes, Iowa CentralCommunity College aims to remain at thecutting edge. Along with developing newbuildings and shifting around departments formore space, Iowa Central is constantly educatingits students to be immediate contributors to thecommunities and setting the foundations for thefuture.

The Bioscience & Health ScienceBuilding is a testament to the expansionof Iowa Central Community College andits quest to prepare students for an ever-changing working world.

Here in Iowa, we have one of the beststate governments in the country. Republicanand Democratic legislators are always lookingfor ways to ensure government runs efcientlyand offers good service to Iowans.Those efforts have made Iowa one of the top threebest run states, according to 24/7 Wall Street. Ourhigh ranking is a result of our strong agriculturaleconomy, low unemployment, perfect creditrating and strong budget.Each year, we balance the state budget withoutraising taxes and set aside money for a rainy day.Iowa has a budget surplus of about $881 million.We also have $650 million in our rainy day funds,

the largest amount in state history.Not only do we budget responsibly, it is easy forIowans to see how their tax dollars are spent.Iowa was one of only eight states to receive anA grade from the U.S. Public Interest ResearchGroup in their 2014 Follow the Money report,which grades states on spending transparency.Iowas easy-to-use State Transparency Website

allows citizens, experts and watchdog groupsto nd information on a variety of expenditures.The site at http://data.iowa.gov offers datasets,charts, tables, maps and other resources onIowas nancial, tax and performance data. Iteven provides information on money recoupedby the state when recipients fail to deliver theagreed-upon results, an accountability practicethat sets us apart from most other states.If legislators do discover problems in stategovernment, we address them. For example,when we learned that taxpayer money hadbeen paid to former state employees in secretsettlements, the Senates Government Oversight

Committee immediately began looking into thematter and continues to work this summer tond out what happened and how to prevent theproblem in the future.As your state senator, Im here to listen, learnand work with you to make Iowa the best it canbe. Please call or e-mail me if you have ideas forhow state government can better serve Iowans.

Commitment to good Iowa Government...

Soaking up the sun from the bow of hisboat while listening to waves splash against theport, Phil Hammen can cast away the hard timeshes weathered in the past year. In a three monthspan, Hammen lost his mother and brother andthen was diagnosed with a life threatening ill-ness. It was a very dark time in my life, re-members Hammen, a Rockwell City, Iowa na-tive who enjoys family time boating on TwinLakes. When Im on the water with my family,it makes me feel like I dont have a care in theworld. Life is perfect.

Feeling perfect was hard to musterfor Hammen earlier this year. After he facedthe death of his two family members, Hammenstarted to have pain in his stomach. He madean appointment at McCrary-Rost Clinic and hewas treated for an ulcer.

A few weeks later, Hammens stomach

still bothered him despite taking his prescriptionfor an ulcer. Hammen scheduled a follow up ap-pointment with Barb Weber, ARNP-C. Aftervisiting at length with Barb about my condition,she recommended I have an ultrasound, recallsHammen.

When the results came back, Barb We-ber shared the news with Hammen during hisappointment. I was shocked to hear the newsshe gave me. I wasnt expecting bad news fromthe test, recalls Hammen. I remember beingstunned and the care and concern Barb showedme while she explained what our next stepswould be.

A computed tomography scan, alsoknown as a CT scan, conrmed Barb Weberssuspicion. Hammens left kidney had a mass onit the size of a golf ball. While the news wasscary, I took comfort in the care I received fromthe medical team. They kept me informed andanswered my questions, says Hammen. At SMCH we believe it is essentialfor our medical providers, nurses and supportstaff to work together as a team. This helps theprocess of patients receiving the right care asquickly as possible, states Dr. David Frate,Board Certied Family and Internal Physician

at McCrary Rost Clinic Lake City. The next step was to schedule Hammento see a specialist in Des Moines. There, a sur-geon conrmed the mass was cancerous, andhe was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma.On March 6th, a successful surgery removedthe mass. Renal cell carcinoma, or RCC, is themost common type of kidney cancer, account-ing for about 9 out of 10 kidney cancers, accord-ing to the American Cancer Association. Whilethe cancer is common, it can go undiagnosedbecause the cancer can grow quite large with-

out causing any pain or other problems. Eachyear, nearly 14,000 people die from the disease.Barb Weber points out that RCC is resistant tothe most common treatment of cancer, chemo-therapy.

At Stewart Memorial Community Hos-pital, Heather Cain, CEO says quality care ismeasured by the voices of patients. The phrasequality care is dened at SMCH as patientsgetting the health care services they need, whenthey need them, in the right way, to achieve thebest possible results. This means we strive toprovide the care patients need to stay healthyand recommend appropriate tests and proce-dures to achieve that.

This philosophy at SMCH is reected inthe voice of patients served. Patient satisfactionsurvey results show SMCH ranks above otherhospitals in Iowa in the categories of Room

and Bathroom Always Clean, Overall HospitalRating, and Denitely Recommend Hospital(see graph). These results are reported on thewebsite www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare.

For Hammen, he says giving a voice tothe care he received is important. What savedmy life is the thorough care I received. Themedical staff took the time to address my healthconcerns and helped me through a difcult time.Saying thank you seems insufcient for whatthey did. I know the medical team feels they arejust doing their job, but they went above andbeyond in my book, and I am very grateful.

Welcome to POET Biorefning - Gowrie Our emphasis at POET Biorening-Gowrie has been the mantra of See it. Own it.Solve it. Do it. We have been preaching and practicing that all year long and we have seen

some great results from this focus. To that end, POET Biorening-Gowrie produced over

65,000,000 gallons of ethanol and shipped 11,000 tons of Voil corn oil.

To further improve productivity, we made numerous updates, improvements, andchanges. Along with improving efciencies, the team at POET Biorening-Gowrie made

safety and training a key priority. We had 0 OSHA recordables for 2012, which we are very

proud of.

If theres one thing we can truly be proudof at POET Biorening-Gowrie, its our com-

munity involvement. The list of events and or-

ganizations we were able to support is lengthy,

but it ranged from donating Thanksgiving tur-

keys for local families in need. Just a few of

the other many activities include supportingthe local schools with after-Prom events, sponsoring the Dayton Rodeo, partici-

pating in several holiday donation activities, sponsoring the Webster County 4-H
