Cardinals’ Thompson 

Receives Post-Season Award 

Garner-Hayfield junior Josh 

Thompson has added another 

football award to his resume. 

The Cardinal receiver completed 

an amazing year, finishing with 

virtually every pass reception mark 

in the record book for a single 

season. Cardinal football coach 

Cam Smith recently learned that 

Thompson has been nominated as 

an Old Spice Red Zone Player of 

the Year. 

As a result of this achievement, 

Josh is among a select group 

of players who are eligible to 

be selected as a national Red 

Zone Player of the Year and be 

honored in a full-page feature in a 

national print publication. For the 

ninth straight year, Old Spice is 

recognizing high school football 

players who go above and beyond 

the call of duty, particularly in the 

Red Zone. The program honors 

athletes who are able to elevate 

their play and step up when the 

heat is really on. These athletes 

embody leadership, performance 

and desire, and serve as examples 

to their teammates on and off the 

field. 

Thompson now becomes eligible 

to be named one of 50 National 

Players of the Year. The top 50 

players nationwide will be named 

Red Zone Players of the Year and 

will receive a plaque and other 

awards. 

Josh is expected to continue

G-H Cheerleaders Perform 

On Iowa Honor Squad 

Two Garner-Hayfield senior 

cheerleaders performed as members 

of the Iowa Honor Squad. Hilliary 

Hayes and Amber Sankey, along 

with 250 other cheerleaders from 

across the state, performed a routine 

at half-time of the Iowa Football 

Championship on Saturday, Nov. 

21. 

The routine was choreographed 

by Robin Clark of Cedar Falls, and 

incorporated stunting, tumbling, 

dancing, and cheering. This 

performance was sponsored by 

the Iowa Cheerleading Coaches 

Association, and it was the first year 

that Garner-Hayfield cheerleaders 

have been a part of the squad. The 

girls attended an all-day practice at 

Ames High School on Sunday, Nov. 

15 where they learned the five minute 

routine. They practiced again at UNI 

on Friday, Nov. 20 in preparation for 

the performances on the 21 st . 

Garner Wrestlers Gain Three Wins 

Garner-Hayfield wrestlers finished 3 – 2 in dual 

meet action while competing in their toughest 

week of the season. The Cardinals opened the 

week with a double dual at Newman on Tuesday 

followed by Thursday’s Quadrangular at Nashua. 

G-H then finished the week at the Sumner- 

Fredericksburg tournament. 

G-H opened the week with a 35 – 34 win over 

Fort Dodge St. Edmond at Newman. The Cards 

trailed 18-0 after three matches but battled back 

with a forfeit, two pins and a decision. The match 

stayed close for the remaining weights and ended 

in a 34 -34 tie when all was over. The Cardinals 

were awarded a point on criteria (most match 

wins) to pick up the dual victory. 

Stuart Blank, Levi Paulsen and Brad Young all 

added pins to their individual records at 130, 135 

and 152 pounds. Richie Kozisek added a decision 

to the score at 119 pounds, as did Dakota Schuver 

at 145 pounds and Jordan Paulsen at 171. 

Newman proved to be too strong for the 

Cardinals in Tuesday’s second dual of the night 

as they came away with a 41- 30 win. The Cards 

scored on four pins and a forfeit in what proved 

to be a long night of wrestling. Stuart Blank and 

Brad Young scored their second falls of the night 

while Rick Young and Kenny Bell gained pins at 

140 and 285 pounds. 

Cardinal coach Jeff Short commented, “This 

turned out to be a very late night for us. There 

weren’t many quick matches in the three duals 

and we found ourselves putting in a very long day. 

Overall we wrestled pretty well.” 

Nashua-Plainfield is one of the strongest 

wrestling teams in the area and the Huskies came 

dangerously close to shutting out the Cards on 

Thursday. Nashua won all but one of the matches 

on their way to a 75 – 6 win over the Cardinals. 

Levi Paulsen’s pin at 135 pounds near the end of 

the dual put Garner on the scoreboard. 

G-H recovered with a 42 – 35 win over Turkey 

Valley. The Cardinals scored 30 points on five 

forfeits and added a pair of pins to the total to 

insure the win. Brad Young recorded a secondperiod 

pin at 152 pounds and Stuart Blank scored 

a fall at 130 pounds. 

Garner-Hayfield finished the night with another 

close dual as the Cards defeated Valley of Elgin 

42-40. Three Cardinal forfeits in this dual kept 

the score close but G-H was able to pull away 

with five pins. Aaron Babcock added a pin to his 

record with a first period fall at 112 pounds. Drew 

Henely and Stuart Blank added pins at 125 and 130 

Drs. Tesene, Maurer & Maurer 

Edward Jones Investments 

Family Eye Care Center 

Farm Bureau Financial Services 

pounds while Levi Paulsen scored an 18-second 

pin at 135 pounds. Brad Young completed the list 

of Cardinal winners with a fall at 152 pounds. 

“I was real pleased with how things went 

especially after the very late night on Tuesday,” 

noted Short. “ I was afraid we might still be a little 

tired but the guys performed well.” 

Garner-Hayfield’s week concluded with a 

four team round-robin tournament at Sumner on 

Saturday. The Cards finished the day with three 

individual champions and a runner-up. 

Zach Schuver had a good day for the Cards, 

scoring two falls and a decision to win the 130pound 

weight class. Levi Paulsen added two 

pins to his record on the way to the 135-pound 

title while Jordan Paulsen scored two falls and a 

decision at 171 pounds. Dakota Schuver earned a 

pin and a decision to place second at 145 pounds 

while Rick Young and Brad Young earned falls 

with a third-place finish at 140 and 152 pounds. 

“I like the opportunity to have the guys see 

some different wrestlers at this tournament,” 

remarked Short. “Overall it was a good day for us 

and hopefully this kind of competition will help 

prepare us for the upcoming tournaments.” 

The Cardinals will have a fairly light week of 

action ahead, traveling to Lake Mills on Thursday 

for a triangular.

Cardinal Boys Win Three Straight 

After looking sluggish against 

two Class 3A opponents last week, 

the Garner-Hayfield boys responded 

with three impressive victories this 

week. The Cards added two North 

Iowa Conference wins to their 

record on Thursday and Friday and 

then handled Clear Lake in nonconference 

action on Saturday. 

G-H traveled to Buffalo Center 

on Thursday to play a previously 

postponed game with the Bison. 

The first quarter of the game was 

very competitive with the Cardinals 

edging ahead 11 – 9. A strong 

defensive effort by Garner in the 

second period allowed the Cards 

to extend their lead to 27 – 15 at 

the half. An offensive explosion by 

the Cardinals put the game out of 

reach as G-H pulled ahead 47 – 24 

heading into the fourth quarter. 

North Iowa closed the gap some in 

the final period, but when all was 

over Garner-Hayfield finished with a 

57 – 42 win. 

Jace Engstler poured in 23 points 

to lead Garner on the offensive 

end of the floor. Josh Thompson 

followed with 15 points including 

five defensive rebounds and seven 

offensive boards. A.J. Haag and Alex Bruggeman 

added seven points apiece to the total while Nick 

Svare added a three-pointer and Zach Greiman 

scored two. 

Cardinal coach Joe Albertson commented, 

“Neither team came out on fire in the first quarter, 

but some very important ground work was done 

early. First, our intensity level was much higher 

than it had been in the past week. That credit goes 

to our JV team. Cody Roberts, Tyler Clay, Michael 

Boehnke, Tim Molencamp, Jared Clay, Blake 

Risius, Joe Ermer, and Damon Quandt pushed the 

varsity players during practice and cheered the 

team on with each big play. That kind of support 

gave us an edge we needed. Second, the team took 

the ball strong to the hole and got some of the key 

North Iowa players in foul trouble and opened up 

some perimeter shots. A key moment in the game 

came late in the first half, when we were able to 

get a break away lay-up just before the buzzer 

sounded. This gave us a double-digit lead and the 

momentum going into the second half. It was a 

very important win for our team.” 

An amazing offensive display in the first quarter 

of Friday night’s game with Belmond saw the 

Cardinals soar to a 23 – 12 lead after one quarter 

After a series of narrow losses before Christmas, 

the Garner-Hayfield girls’ basketball team is now 

on a winning streak. The Cards began their streak 

at St. Ansgar on January 9 and added a pair of 

consecutive victories to their record this week. 

G-H traveled to Buffalo Center on Thursday to 

make up a snowed-out game from the previous 

week. The North Iowa gym is typically a tough 

place for the Cards but the Garner girls had 

little difficulty in this game. Both teams scored 

nine points in the first quarter but G-H pulled 

ahead 22 – 17 by halftime. Garner-Hayfield then 

essentially put the game away in the third quarter 

by expanding their lead to 41 – 22. The Cardinals 

were able to maintain their advantage through the 

final period, connecting on 12 of 23 free throws in 

the quarter to help seal the win. 

Alicia Savoy had a big night offensively, 

connecting on nine of 16 field goals on the way 

to scoring 19 points. Lauren Opp followed with 

10 points and five assists while Jasmine Doble 

and Libby Kropp chipped in seven points each. 

Kristin Stromer and Anna Pinneke scored five 

and four points with Jenna Wellik completing the 

scoring with a free throw. 

Cardinal coach Jim Haag commented, “We got 

off to a very good start in this game and it was 

indicative of how our night was going to go. We 

jumped out 7-0 and really built some confidence 

from there. We also came out in the beginning of 

the third quarter and went on a 12-3 run to take 

control of this game. I thought we put together 

a very good game plan and the girls executed it 

very well. We knew that North Iowa is a very 

well coached team, and we needed to be able to 

counter and adjust to whatever they threw at us. 

From a defensive standpoint, we did a very nice 

job of taking away their strengths and keeping 

them off balance so as not to let them get into 

any rhythm or flow offensively. And from man 

offenses standpoint, I thought that we were very 

effective and efficient in our sets and did a nice job 

of taking what the defense gave us. Traditionally, 

North Iowa is a very difficult place for us to win. 

We have not had a lot of success there. Therefore, 

this is a big win against a quality team on their 

home floor!” 

Haag credited a number of individuals in the 

win, complimenting Anna Pinneke for a great 

defensive game and Libby Kropp for providing 

a nice boost off of the bench. Other keys to the 

win were Alicia Savoy’s ability to attack North 

Iowa’s big post player, Lauren Opp’s effort at the 

free throw line in the fourth quarter and Jasmine 

Doble’s leadership on the defensive end of the 

floor.

of play. The offense continued to roll in the second 

quarter as Garner essentially put the game away in 

the first half, leading 44 – 22 by intermission. G-H 

then shifted to cruise control in the third quarter 

while still managing to extend their lead to 58 – 34 

at the end of three quarters. Reserves saw action 

in the fourth and the game ended with a 70 – 50 

Garner-Hayfield win. 

Alex Bruggeman was near perfect from the field, 

converting on 10 of 13 field goals and two of two 

free throws to finish with 22 points. Josh Thompson 

owned the boards, grabbing a dozen rebounds with 

10 points while Ben Lau connected for 10 points. 

Jace Engstler was credited with eight assists to go 

with nine points followed by Nick Svare and Zach 

Greiman with six points each. A.J. Haag and Tim 

Molencamp completed the scoring with five and 

two points. 

“We didn’t show a bit of soreness after playing 

the night before as the offense played one of their 

better halves of the season,” remarked Albertson. 

“The team did a great job finding our interior 

players in both halves. The inside-out game was 

working early as Josh Thompson and Brug found 

points inside, AJ Haag, Ben Lau, Jace Engstler, and 

Nick Svare hit from the arc. We built a nice 22-point 

half time lead and never let it get under 20 the rest 

G-H improved to 

2 – 5 in North Iowa 

Conference play with a 

home court victory over 

Belmond on Friday. 

The Cardinals came 

out sizzling, scoring 

three three-pointers 

and a field goal on their 

first four possessions. 

The exceptional start 

propelled G-H to a 17- 

12 first quarter lead. 

Belmond then rallied 

in the second period 

to take a 29 – 28 lead 

at halftime. G-H had 

a repeat performance 

of the first quarter to 

regain the lead at 46 – 

41 heading into the final 

period. Garner’s offense 

then rolled through the 

fourth quarter on the 

way to a 67 – 53 win. 

A season-low nine 

turnovers combined 

with 48% shooting 

from the field, 46% 

shooting from the arc 

and 82% shooting from 

the free throw line 

provided the fuel for 

the Cards to produce a 

season-high 67 points. 

Belmond did manage 

to out-rebound Garner, 

but that advantage was 

negated by the Bronco’s 

18 turnovers and failure 

to convert from the 

three-point line. 

Jasmine Doble finished the night with 19 points 

resulting from a four-of-seven effort from the arc 

along with seven assists to lead Garner in the win. 

Kristin Stromer had her best effort of the season, 

finishing the night with a dozen points on six of 10 

field goals while Anna Pinneke added 10 points 

and five rebounds. Jenna Wellik, Alicia Savoy and 

Lauren Opp chipped in eight points apiece and 

Libby Kropp added two points to the scoreboard. 

“Coming off a big win against North Iowa, I 

was a little concerned how we would respond 

playing back to back nights,” remarked Haag. 

“Once again, we got off to a very good start in 

the first quarter knocking down some early three 

of the night. t was good overall night 

for the team, but we will have to do 

a better job or guarding the perimeter 

the next time we face Belmond.” 

The Cardinals jumped out to an 

11 – 0 lead on their way to a 20 – 10 

first quarter advantage in Saturday’s 

non-conference game against 

Clear Lake. The Lions chipped into 

Garner’s lead in the second period 

but the Cardinals still managed to 

hold a 33 – 26 halftime lead. Garner 

then used a combination of inside 

scoring with perimeter shooting to 

extend their advantage to 50 – 39 

going into the final quarter. When 

the final buzzer sounded, G-H had 

maintained their lead for a 60 – 49 

decision. 

Josh Thompson led Garner 

offensively with 16 points followed by 

Alex Bruggeman with 14. Thompson 

was also credited with six rebounds 

and five assists and Bruggeman 

grabbed nine boards. Jace Engstler 

hit four three-pointers on his way to 

scoring 14 points with seven assists 

and A.J. Haag connected on three 

from behind the arc to finish with 

nine points. Zach Greiman and Ben 

Lau completed the scoring total for 

the Cards with four and three points respectively. 

“Once again, the coaches were worried about 

tired legs as we were playing for the third night in 

a row,” noted Albertson, “but we were able to jump 

out to an 11-0 lead to start the game. The guys did 

a great job setting the tone early by hitting eight 

first quarter shots in the paint. Alex Bruggeman, 

Josh Thompson, and Michael Brown did a nice job 

defending their post players and our guards limited 

their penetration. After building an early 10-point 

lead, we found it hard to guard their best perimeter 

shooter who hit three three-pointers in each half. 

We will have to emphasize player recognition 

and proper close outs in next week’s practice. The 

second quarter lead was maintained by the hot 

shooting of two bench guards, AJ Haag and Ben 

Lau. Jace Engstler’s three third quarter three-point 

shots helped push our lead to 11 going into the 

fourth. It is evident that we play well when we get 

our post players involved, and hopefully we can do 

that in our three games next week.” 

The Cardinals are now 4 – 3 in NIC play and 

7 – 5 overall. They will begin the second round 

of league play this week, traveling to Osage on 

Tuesday and West Hancock on Friday.

pointers to build a 11-6 lead midway through the 

first quarter. Getting off to a better start is an area 

that we have been emphasizing lately and the 

girls have really taken it to heart. It has also been 

really nice to see that we are getting contributions 

from a lot of different players in many areas. Our 

offensive rebounding, assists to turnover ratio, 

and bench production have all improved over 

the last seven games as players are gaining more 

experience and have accepted their roles on the 

team and are playing very unselfishly. I thought 

in the second quarter we got in a hurry a little bit 

offensively and Belmond-Klemme was able to 

take advantage of our lack of patience on offense 



Cardinal JV Boys Play Well 

There’s been plenty of basketball 

action for the Garner-Hayfield 

junior varsity and freshmen boys’ 

basketball teams. The JV Cardinals 

have soared to a 5 – 3 record during 

the first half of the season while the 

freshmen have won three of five 

games. 

Garner’s JV squad opened their 

season on December 5 at home 

against West Fork. It was a tough 

way to start the year as West Fork 

handed the Cards a 45 – 27 loss. 

Cody Roberts finished as leading 

scorer for the Cardinals with six 

points followed by Damon Quandt 

and Michael Brown with five points 

apiece. Jared Clay chipped in four 

points, Seth Williams and Tyler Clay 

scored three points each and Michael 

Jolivette added a free throw. 

The JV boys got into the win 

column on December 11 with a 44 – 

36 win over West Hancock. Michael 

Brown had a big night offensively 

for Garner, finishing with 14 points. 

Alex Van Gerpen added 11 points 

to the Cardinal total followed by 

Damon Quandt with eight. Rounding 

out Garner’s scoring were Jared Clay 

with three points, Cody Roberts with 

two points and a free throw from 

Michael Boehnke and Tylcer Clay. 

Newman Catholic handed the 

Garner JV a 46 – 30 loss on December 

15. The Knight defense allowed no 

Cardinals to reach double figures as 

Michael Brown’s nine points paced 

Garner. Blake Risius followed with 

six points while Brad Nedved, Alex 

Van Gerpen and Tim Molencamp 

all scored four points. Cody Miller 

added a bucket and Damon Quandt 

hit a free throw. 

The Cardinal JV recovered for 

a 46 – 21 win at Lake Mills on 

December 18. Joe Ermer exploded 

for 15 points to lead Garner in the 

scorebook. Cole Greiman and A.J. 

Haag followed with seven and six 

points respectively while Cody 

Miller, Michael Brown and Cody 

Roberts scored four points apiece. 

Completing Garner’s scoring were 

Damon Quandt, Blake Risius and 

Zach Greiman all with two points. 

The Cardinals’ made it two in a 

row with a 38 – 28 win over Central 

Springs on December 19. Michael 

Brown’s 12 points led Garner and 

A.J. Haag added seven points. Also in 

the scorebook for the Cardinals were 

Seth Williams with four points, Cody 

Miller, Michael Boehnke andDamon 

Quandt all with three points, Brad 

Nedved, Blake Risius and Alex Van 

Gerpen all with two points and a free 

throw each from Drake Stadtlander 

and Cody Roberts. 

Osage posted a 35 – 31 win 

over Garner in the Cardinals’ final 

game before Christmas break on 

December 21. Damon Quandt was 

the only Cardinal to reach double 

figures as the sophomore guard 

finished the night with 10 points. 

Alex Van Gerpen chipped in six 

points, followed by Michael Brown 

and get back into the game. We made 

some adjustments at halftime to focus 

on slowing down their leading scorer 

Dana Christiansen, who had hurt us 

immensely in the first half. I thought 

in the second half were very solid 

both offensively and defensively. 

Once again, we came out in the first 

three minutes of the third quarter 

and executed very, very well to get 

control of this game. From there, we 

were able to take advantage of some 

Belmond-Klemme miscues and put 

the game out of reach. A very nice 

team win and we seem to be turning 

the corner and beginning to create 

some momentum here in the secondhalf 

of the season.” 

Round two of NIC play begins 

this week with the Cardinals heading 

to Osage on Tuesday and West 

Hancock on Friday. G-H will then 

host Rockford in non-conference 

action on Saturday.

Forest City. Blake Risius and 

Michael Brown led Garner with 13

NFL Playoffs Gone Wild 

by Nick Svare 

Have you been enjoying the cold 

weather, loud domes, screaming fans 

and hard hitting? Because that is 

what the NFL playoffs are all about. 

Year after year the match-ups keep 

getting better and the upsets bigger. 

This year it doesn’t look as if anything 

is going to change. 

The first round of the NFC playoffs 

featured rematches of games 

from the last week of the season. The 

Dallas Cowboys silenced their critics 

and kept their momentum going 

as they manhandled the Philadelphia 

Eagles for the second week in a row, 

this time coming away with a 34-14 

victory. Numerous analysts called 

the Cowboys the hottest team in the 

playoffs, but the Minnesota Vikings 

challenged that opinion with a 34-3 

beat down of the NFC East champs. 

Brett Favre threw four touchdown 

passes, and the defense absolutely 

smothered Tony Romo. 

The second NFC wild card rematch 

featured the Green Bay 

Packers and the Arizona Cardinals. 

Despite the Packers having the second-ranked 

overall defense, this was 

a game of offense as the two teams 

combined for over 1000 yards of total 

offense and 96 points in a 51-45 

victory for the Cardinals. They rode 

Let us put

that into New Orleans where they, 

too, suffered a whooping; the Saints 

crushed them 45-15. 

This weekend’s NFC Championship 

game between the Saints and 

the Vikings should be an exciting 

match-up as both teams are hungry 

to make it to the Super Bowl. Both 

teams have very high-powered offenses, 

and it will be interesting to 

see if the Viking defensive line can 

duplicate their performance of this 

past week and this time disrupt Drew 

Brees and the best passing offense in 

the NFL. 

This year the battle just to make 

the playoffs went down to the wire 

in the AFC. The New York Jets and 

Baltimore Ravens were the two 

teams who simply had to win the last 

week of the season to be in, and both 

did. That set up the third rematch 

of the playoffs, this time between 

the Jets and the Cincinnati Bengals. 

The Bengals had rested many 

of their starters the last week of the 

season and were expected to dismiss 

the Jets, but the underdog Jets came 

away with a 24-14 victory. That sent 

them to San Diego last week to play 

the AFC team sporting the best winning 

streak entering the playoffs. 

Most people predicted an end to the 

Jets’ run, but with the help of three 

missed field goals by perhaps the 

most accurate kicker in the league, 

former Iowa Hawkeye Nate Kaeding, 

and penalties and turnovers, the 

Jets rode their underdog mentality to 

a 17-14 uprooting of the Chargers. 

The second game of the AFC wild 

card round featured the New England 

Patriots, always strong at home, 

and the Baltimore Ravens, notorious 

for winning on the road in the playoffs 

in past years. It was the Ravens 

who continued their trend; they beat 

the Patriots 33-14. But the Ravens 

streak came to a quick end when they 

took a trip to Indianapolis and were 

pounded 20-3 by the Colts, who are 

now looking pretty smart for resting 

some of their starters. 

The AFC championship game 

will find those underdog NY Jets going 

to Indianapolis to face a Peyton 

Manning-led, efficient offense and 

a fast defense. Still, Rex Ryan’s defense 

has been up to every task so far, 

and the Jet offense under Mark Sanchez 

has been scoring just enough to 

make their defense’s efforts pay off. 

Be ready for another weekend of 

last minute scoring and maybe an 

upset. I can’t wait to see who reaches 

this year’s Super Bowl!

A Girl Scout cookie can do a lot. It 

could help pay for a fresh change of 

clothes for an abuse victim rushed to 

a shelter. It could cheer up a soldier 

far from home. It could help buy 

school supplies for needy kids, or fly 

a group of girls from the Midwest 

to Washington D.C. Some of these 

girls will come back to Washington 

as congresswomen or senators. One 

day, just you wait, our first female 

president will reminisce about the 

time she visited Washington D.C. and 

stood inside the Lincoln Memorial 

with her Girl Scouts friends. 

The purchase of Girl Scout cookies

H programs including scholarships, 

4-H camps and National 4-H 

Conference. 

This is the second annual 4-H Day

Compensation Board Recommends 

1% Pay Raise For County Officers 

Acknowledging that times are tough, 

the Hancock County Compensation 

Board recommended a 1 percent pay 

raise for elected county officials. The 

board met Tuesday, Jan. 12. 

Proposed salaries for fiscal 2010- 

11 for county officers are as follows 

(current salary in parenthesis): 

Hancock County Auditor, Recorder, 

Treasurer - $48,182 ($47,705); 

Hancock County Sheriff – $63,559 

($62,930) Hancock County Attorney 

– $76,886 ($76,125), and Board of 

Supervisors – $28,704 ($28,420) each. 

“The Compensation Board is very 

pleased with the elected officials 

with whom we are blessed,” stated 

board chairman Earl W. Hill, Britt. 

“We, of course, would like to have 

recommended a larger increase for 

each. But, with some people off work 

and other economic issues with which 

to contend, the Board did not feel it 

could recommend anything larger.” 

Salary recommendations from 

Compensation Boards in other North 

Iowa counties has ranged from a salary 

freeze to 1.5 percent for their elected 

officials. 

The pay proposals will be forwarded 

to the Hancock County Board of 

Supervisors who may accept them as 

FUTURE OF EDUCATION 

from front page 

teachers and students becoming more 

enthralled with the novelty of new tech 

than its practical use. “Technology is 

only a resource. It’s all in how you use 

it.” 

Tyler Gasper matched this sentiment, 

emphasizing the importance of the 

human element in teaching and noting 

that a computer is not a replacement 

for a teacher. 

“You don’t learn as much if you are 

completely focused learning through 

technology rather than with an actual 

person,” said Gasper. 

Connor Kline expressed his interest 

in the one-to-one laptop initiative and 

felt that putting a personal computer in 

every student’s hands would increase 

not only learning opportunities, but 

give students needed experience in 

computer use. 

“It’s what they’re going to use in 

college and what they’re going to use 

in the real world,” said Kline. 

Nathan Tornquist reminded the 

boards that while censorship is 

ultimately necessary when dealing 

with the internet in the classroom, 

steps should be taken to make sure that 

the rules designed to protect students 

don’t become a hindrance to them. 

“As a school, you have to regulate 

what students have access to, but I’d 

like to discourage the use of extensive 

censorship to the point that it’s 

inhibiting to the individual student.” 

Using Facebook as an example, 

Tornquist described how while it 

may be blocked by schools to prevent 

distraction, the social networking 

site was crucial to him in completing 

a group project with classmates in 

different cities over the holidays. 

As even e-mail becomes obsolete 

to the newest generation, social 

networking sites like Facebook can 

become the most efficient, if not 

the only, means of communication 

between groups. 

Moving away from technology, 

Katie Wencl expressed a desire to 

see more focus on foreign language 

studies, especially at an earlier age. 

With the United States traditionally 

behind the curve when it comes to 

second languages, Wencl noted that 

in a global market, knowing multiple 

languages can put kids from other 

countries at a significant advantage. 

“They’re learning English at such 

a young age and they’re going to be 

competing with us when we’re old 

enough,” said Wencl. 

As the evening concluded, the 

school boards heard from Dr. Fisher, 

Clear Lake School Board President 

Tom Lovell, and IASB member Susan 

Shaw, who continued to discuss the 

task of renovating the education 

system and doing so on an ever 

decreasing budget. 

“We need to prepare our kids for a 

different world than the one we were 

prepared for,” said Dr. Fisher.

The salaries would go into effect July

In addition to Hill, Hancock County 

Compensation Board at the Jan. 12 

meeting were: Gerald Thiedeman, 

Garner; Lowell Solberg, Forest City; 

Steve Templeton, Garner; and Lynn 

Patterson, Britt. Other members of the 

board are Dan Kadrlik, Garner, and

districts not submit a memorandum

cited concerns with language requiring 

school boards to engage in collective 

bargaining regarding interventions for 

persistently low-achieving schools.
