CWL Softball Drop Games in Conference Play 

CWL softball enjoyed a light 

schedule last week as they played 

Monday and Friday against two 

conference match-ups. On Monday 

they dropped a pair of games to West 

Bend-Mallard at home by scores of 

0-11 in seven innings and 0-12 in 

three innings. They then traveled 

to Ruthven on Friday to take on 

Ruthven-Ayshire where they also 

dropped two one-run games 3-4 and 

11-12. 

In Monday’s game, Alannah Carroll 

pitched 4 2/3 innings against 

West Bend-Mallard in the first game, 

giving up six hits and nine runs 

(three earned) with five walks and 

six strikeouts. Maggie Ludwig relieved 

Alannah to finish out the 2 1/3 

innings where she gave up five hits, 

two runs and recorded three K’s. 

The Panthers connected for five 

singles. Alesha Carroll led the team 

with two, while Alannah, Ludwig 

and Haley Grein all had one.

Extreme weather impacts soybeans 

ANKENY - Though it’s relatively 

early in the growing season, Iowa 

soybean farmers have already experienced 

a wide range of extreme 

weather conditions. 

David Wright, Iowa Soybean Association’s 

(ISA’s) director of contract 

research, says, “In central 

Iowa, farmers have had too much 

moisture. We’ve also experienced 

multiple weeks of cool soil and air 

temperatures, followed by unusually 

hot, windy conditions. All of these 

weather factors have an impact on 

soybean development.” 

The extended forecast for Iowa 

continues to be for above normal 

precipitation and above normal high 

temperatures, a combination that 

can put additional stress on soybean 

plants. 

In areas of soggy soils, Wright 

says, soybean root development is 

slowed by lower levels of oxygen 

and higher levels of carbon dioxide. 

“This slower root development 

could reduce the number of root tips, 

which is a primary factor in a plant’s 

ability to uptake essential elements,” 

Wright explains. “Water and nutrients 

are taken up just behind the root 

tip so the more root hairs a plant has, 

the greater its ability to compensate 

for heat and reduced soil moisture.” 

If conditions aren’t too extreme, 

Wright says, it is actually preferable 

to have somewhat dry conditions 

during vegetative growth stages. 

“Where it is drier, soybeans will develop 

a more complete root system 

which will enable the plant to take 

up more water and nutrients during 

its reproductive phase,” Wright says. 

Research conducted in the 1980s 

concluded that young soybean plants 

are fairly resilient to stress during 

vegetative stages of development. 

The greatest yield loss comes when 

stress occurs between R3 (beginning 

podset) and R5.5 (seedfill nearly 

complete) growth stages. 

While there’s little a farmer can do 

midseason to compensate for weather’s 

effects, Wright notes that understanding 

what goes on underground 

can help with future management 

considerations. 

One of the most obvious is to note 

wet areas that may need tiling. Less 

obvious would be the need for fungicide 

and insecticide seed treatments. 

In addition, farmers might consider 

making the transition to narrow 

rows and/or no-till practices. Iowa 

State University has documented a 

4.5 bushel advantage for soybeans 

grown in narrow rows compared to 

30 inch rows. Narrow rows develop 

an earlier canopy, which can help 

keep the vegetative tissue cool during 

periods of high heat. 

No-till practices can also improve 

drainage by building soil structure 

so water doesn’t stand on compacted 

ground. No-till reduces fuel, labor 

and equipment costs, while improving 

soil and water quality. 

Wright says, “Using management 

practices that can help a crop withstand 

Iowa’s increasingly extreme 

weather conditions can result in a 

more resilient soybean production 

system. It’s not too early to be thinking 

of management considerations 

for future crops.” 

Children and Sports: Fun or Stress? 

By: Malisa Radar, ISU Extension 

Family Life Specialist 

Baseball, softball, soccer, tennis, 

swimming and golf are just some of 

the organized sports children may be 

involved in this summer. The hours 

spent may be a time of fun or a time of 

stress, said Malisa Rader, Iowa State 

University Extension family life program 

specialist. 

“This largely depends upon how 

you, the parent, approach your child’s 

participation. Remember, you are a 

role model and your actions and attitudes 

will impact your child’s actions 

and attitudes,” Rader said. 

“Begin by understanding where 

your child is developmentally,” the 

ISU Extension specialist recommended. 

During the middle childhood years 

(ages 8-12), children’s physical development 

varies greatly. Children this 

age have a need to belong, are eager 

for recognition and approval and want 

to have fun. 

“We’re seeing a trend toward children 

dropping out of unhealthy competitive 

activities at this age,” Rader 

said. 

Studies of stress in young athletes 

suggest those who are constantly 

pushed by parents and coaches run 

the risk of developing sports burnout. 

This is a total loss of interest in sports 

caused by anxiety and stress associated 

with competition. 

“You can help your child develop 

a healthy life-long interest in sports 

by eliminating the pressure to excel,” 

Rader said. 

Rader offers these suggestions to 

help make sports enjoyable for the entire 

family. 

· Take a positive approach; praise 

children for the positive aspects of 

their performance. 

· Focus on the child’s developing 

skills and not the final score. 

· Match a child’s temperament to the 

right sport. Be realistic about a child’s 

physical abilities. 

· Use sports as a way to teach children 

about limits and strengths, goal 

setting and the importance of sports as 

a means of relaxation. 

· Provide a variety of sports. There is 

time for specialization when the child 

is a teen. 

· Allow the child to determine the 

importance of sports in his or her life. 

Parents should not use their children 

to relive their own athletic past or to 

fulfill unmet athletic goals. 

· Control emotions and actions at 

sporting events. Support and respect 

the coaches and all the children playing. 

• Be a positive role model. Enjoy 

sports.

Conservation Reserve 

Program Sign-Up Benefits Iowa 

USDA announced that it will accept 2.8 million acres offered by landowners 

under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general sign-up that was 

completed last April. The selections preserve and enhance environmentally 

sensitive lands, while providing payments to property owners. 

CRP is a voluntary program that helps agricultural producers use environmentally 

sensitive land for conservation benefits. Plant cover established on 

the acreage accepted into the CRP will reduce nutrient and sediment runoff 

in our nation’s rivers and streams. This reduces soil erosion that may otherwise 

contribute to poor air and water quality, and provide valuable habitat for 

wildlife. The CRP has restored more than two million acres of wetlands and 

associated buffers and reduced soil erosion by more than 400 million tons 

per year. 

For Additional information about the Conservation Reserve Program and 

other programs administered by FSA contact your local FSA office or at

The Hancock County FSA reminds area producers of the upcoming June 

30 deadline to certify planted crop acreages. In order to timely report crops, 

producers need to come to the local office with the following information: 

crop planted, acres planted, plant date, and intended use of the crop. 

Many FSA programs required that producers certify their crops to be eligible

Cardinals Fall in NIC Softball Standings 

After picking up their first North 

Iowa Conference victory recently, 

the Garner-Hayfield softball team 

was hoping to add some games to the 

win column in league play this week. 

The Cards have shown improvement 

in recent outings, but were unable to 

pick up any wins through the week’s 

action. 

One bad inning cost the Cardinals in 

Monday’s game with West Hancock. 

After taking a 1 – 0 lead in the second 

inning, G-H saw disaster strike as the 

Eagles erupted for 11 runs in the top 

of the third. That proved to be too 

much to overcome as West Hancock 

went on to win 16 – 3. 

Megan Waddingham had two 

RBI’s and two hits to lead Garner 

offensively. Bri Bier added a pair of 

singles for the Cards while Jasmine 

Doble, Karah Huinker, Alicia Savoy, 

Kristin Stromer and Mallory Van 

Oort all singled. 

Kelly Babcock started the game on 

the mound for Garner, giving up nine 

hits and three walks. Doble relieved 

Babcock in the third inning and 

allowed nine hits with a walk. 

Garner-Hayfield’s only nonconference 

game of the week was 

Tuesday’s road trip to Clear Lake. 

That game proved to be a well-played 

match up with the Lions finishing on 

top of a 5 – 2 decision. 

Mallory Van Oort and Kristin 

Stromer each singled twice to lead 

the Garner offense while Megan 

Waddingham had two RBI’s with a 

base hit. Jasmine Doble, Bri Bier and 

Liz Tusha all singled for Garner in 

that game. 

Doble gave upt 10 hits and a 

walk with three K’s while going the 

distance in this game. 

Garner-Hayfield lost a close 

decision to Newman in their first 

meeting of the season so the Cards 

were hoping to pull off an upset over 

the Knights this time around. Garner 

played a strong defensive game, 

holding Newman to only four runs 

but the Cardinal bats were unable to 

produce any runs in the losing effort. 

G-H finished the game with a total 

of only four hits as Mallory Van Oort 

and Karah Huinker each singled 

twice in the game. Jasmine Doble 

allowed nine hits and a walk with four 

strikeouts while going the distance on 

the Cardinal mound. 

The Cardinals fell short again 

on Friday as Lake Mills posted a 

5 – 3 decision over G-H. A pair of 

Cardinal runs in the second gave 

Garner a short-lived 2 – 1 lead. Lake 

Mills tied the score at 2 – 2 in the 

fourth inning but Garner answered 

with a run in the fifth to retake the 

lead. Lake Millscored twice in the 

sixth to go ahead 4 – 3 and then added 

an insurance run in the seventh on the 

way to the win. 

Taylor Nelson had two RBI’s and 

a base hit to lead Garner at the plate. 

Kristin Stromer added two singles to 

the offense while Mallory Van Oort, 

Jasmine Doble, Karah Huinker and 

Bri Bier all singled. 

Doble gave up seven hits and 

fanned eight Bulldog batters in her 

pitching performance for the Cards. 

G-H played a non-conference 

nightcap against the Bulldogs on 

Friday. In that game Lake Mills was 

able to pull out a 5 – 1 victory over 

the Cards. 

G-H managed only three hits in this 

game with Maddie Tusha, Megan 

Waddingham and Kristin Stromer 

all picking up singles. Brittany Hall 

threw this game for the Cardinals, 

giving up seven hits with two 

strikeouts. 

The Cardinals are now 1 – 9 in North 

Iowa Conference play and hosted 

the Garner-Hayfield Tournament on 

Saturday. Details from those games 

appear in a separate story in the 

Leader Sports section.

West Hancock Softball 

team improves 

conference record 

The Eagle softball team picked up two more conference victories this 

past week over Garner-Hayfield 16-3 and Belmond-Klemme 14-1. 

The team traveled to Garner last Monday to take on the Cards where 

they brought home the victory in six innings. The Eagles went scoreless 

through the first two innings before pounding 11 runs in the third to 

give them a commanding lead over the Cardinals 11-3. The Cards went 

scoreless through the rest of the game while the Eagles added one run in 

the fifth and four more in the sixth to make the spread more than ten runs 

and end the game in six. 

The Eagles racked up 18 hits on the night, 9 of them coming from their 

explosive 11 run third inning. “It is very tough for any team to come 

back after that,” said Coach Mallen. 

Defensively the Eagles played solid with only one error. Pitcher Anna 

Mallen walked two batters on the night and allowed eight hits. 

Taylor Formanek and Anna led the team with four hits. Brooke 

Heusinkveld was right behind them with three while Abby Paca and 

April Burgardt both added two. 

Heusinkveld batted in four runs for the Eagles while Anna added three. 

Paca also had two RBI’s while Sarah Mallen, Burgradt and Colbie Bates 

all brought in one. 

The Eagle’s Wednesday game against Forest City was rained out and 

has been rescheduled to this Thursday in Britt. 

On Friday the team traveled to Belmond to take on the Broncos in a 

quick five-inning 14-1 NIC victory. The game belonged to the Eagles as 

they scored three in the first, five in the third and three in both the fourth 

the fifth. The Bronco’s lone run was earned in the first. 

The Eagles scored 14 on just seven hits. “It was a tough game to get 

any consistency at bat,” said Mallen, “But a good win for us none the 

less.” 

The three-day break didn’t do the Eagles any favors with their timing 

at the bat according to Mallen. They capitalized on some Bronco miscues 

with aggressive base running to bring in the runs. 

Anna Mallen continues to be the woman of the mound allowing just 

three hits, one passed batter and one strikeout. 

Formanek batted in two runs and had three hits. Sarah, Kellie Schmit, 

Paca and Jessica Gray all earned one hit for the Eagles. Schmit and Paca 

also brought in one RBI a piece. 

The Eagles finished out their week in their last season tournament at 

the Hampton Invitational. The Eagles were downed by AGSWAR in the 

first game 6-16 and then by West Fork 4-20. 

“We played terrible in this tournament and the other teams played their 

best game at the plate,” said Mallen. “With that combination the score 

can get ugly and it did.” 

A positive outcome of the tough and ugly games were the practice and 

experience the outfield gained. “Our outfield got more work than they 

have all season,” commented Mallen. 

Sarah Mallen shined in the grass as she ran down and made the catch 

on three potential doubles or triples. Formanek remained strong at the 

plate for the eagles as she went four for four between the two games. 

“We need to play well next week as we play the top teams in the conference,” 

said Mallen. The Eagles are now 5-3 in the conference and 

according to Mallen, “if we play well and find wins this week we would 

place ourselves in a very good position in the NIC.” 

The Eagles will finish up their regular season with games Monday 

against North Iowa in Buffalo Center, Wednesday against Newman in 

Britt, Thursday with Forest City also in Britt, and a double header Friday 

at Lake Mills. Their final regular season game will be next Tuesday at 

home against Osage. 

Cardinals Play Well at G-H Softball Tourney 

Garner-Hayfield picked up a win 

while suffering two narrow losses to 

rated teams at the Garner-Hayfield 

Classic Tournament on Saturday. The 

Cards opened the day with a win over 

Clarion-Goldfield before dropping 

close decisions to eighth-ranked (2A) 

Emmetsburg and 15th-rated (1A) 

Woden-Crystal Lake/Titonka. 

The Cardinals scored early and 

often in their opener against Clarion- 

Goldfield. G-H plated two runs in the 

first inning followed by three more in 

the second and four runs in the third. 

That would prove to be enough as 

Garner cruised to a 9 – 1 win over the 

Cowboys. 

Jasmine Doble collected three RBI’s 

with a base hit to lead Garner at the 

plate followed by Taylor Nelson with 

two RBI’s on a single. Also picking 

up base hits in the game were Maddie 

Tusha, Karah Huinker, Megan 

Waddingham and Kristin Stromer. 

Doble fanned seven batters while 

scattering nine hits on her way to the 

pitching win for the Cardinals. 

Before the season officially opened, 

Garner-Hayfield saw Emmetsburg 

in a scrimmage several weeks ago. 

In that meeting, the Cardinals failed 

to score against the E’Hawks. Since 

that time G-H has shown marked 

improvement as Emmetsburg posted 

a narrow win over the Cards. After 

two scoreless innings the E’Hawks 

erupted for nine runs in the third 

inning to seemingly take control of 

the game. Garner responded with 

five runs in their half of the third 

and added two more in the fourth to 

keep the game close. The E’Hawks 

added a run in the fifth to conclude 

the scoring in the game. 

Megan Waddingham had a big game 

at the plate for the Cards, picking up 

three RBI’s on a pair of hits. Karah 

Huinker added two RBI’s on two 

singles followed by Maddie Tusha 

and Jasmine Doble with two hits 

apiece. Jori Meints added a pinch-hit 

single to the Cardinal offense. 

Brittany Hall went the distance on 

the mound for Garner, surrendering 

10 hits and three walks with three 

strikeouts. 

In spite of dropping their last game 

of the day, the Cardinals had to feel 

good about their 5 – 3 loss to WCLT. 

The Cardinals scored first in the game, 

picking up a run in the fourth inning. 

The Tigers scored twice in the fifth to 

take the lead but Garner knotted the 

score at 2 – 2 with a run in their half 

of the fifth. The score remained tied 

through seven innings and the Tigers 

plated three runs in the eight to gain 

the upper hand. G-H scored a run in 

the bottom of the eighth but the rally 

fell short. 

Garner was held to four hits in 

the game as Maddie Tusha, Kristin 

Stromer, Taylor Nelson and Alicia 

Savoy all singled. Jasmine Doble 

went the distance on the mound for 

Garner, scattering eight hits an a walk 

with five strikeouts. 

The Cardinals are now 7 – 21 

overall. They will begin their final 

week of regular season action this 

week at Osage on Monday, followed 

by Tuesday’s non-conference game 

at Algona Garrigan. G-H will then 

complete NIC play with games 

at Forest City and North Iowa on 

Wednesday and Thursday before 

hosting Belmond on Friday.

Cardinals Drop NIC Baseball Games 

A lighter schedule combined with 

a rain out gave the Garner-Hayfield 

baseball team some much needed 

rest for their pitching staff. The 

Cardinals faced West Hancock and 

Lake Mills at home on Monday and 

Friday and traveled to Mason City 

to face Newman on Wednesday. 

Tuesday’s double-header against 

Bishop Garrigan was cancelled due 

to soggy field conditions. 

The youthful Cards were hoping 

to improve their North Iowa 

Conference record against the Eagles 

on Monday. The two teams played 

even through the first four innings, 

with each squad scoring once in the 

second, twice in the third and three 

times in the fourth. West Hancock 

gained the advantage with two runs 

in the fifth and another in the sixth 

while holding Garner scoreless. The 

Eagles added an insurance run in the 

seventh and a Cardinal rally attempt 

fell short making the final score 10 – 

7. 

The Cardinal bats had great 

success against the Eagles but 

stranded 11 base runners through the 

course of the game. Zach Buseman 

led G-H at the plate with two RBI’s 

on two hits. Joe Ermer and Josh 

Theobald each added two hits with 

an RBI while Blake Risius also 

singled twice. Nick Roberts, Lance 

Austin and Spencer Shaw all added 

singles to the Cardinal offense. 

Risius started on the mound for 

Garner and gave up 11 hits with 

a walkd and two strikeouts. Zach 

Buseman relieved Risius in the fifth 

inning to finish the game with three 

hits and a strikeout. 

Mason City Newman has 

dominated the North Iowa 

Conference through the past decade 

and their emphasis on baseball 

continues to keep them on top of 

the league. The Knights had little 

difficulty handling the underdog 

Cardinals as they rolled to a 15 – 0 

four inning decision on Wednesday. 

The Knights threw their ace 

against Garner, resulting in a perfect 

game for the Newman hurler. G-H 

was able to send only 12 batters to 

the plate in the four-inning contest. 

Lance Austin allowed six hits and 

six walks with a pair of strikeouts in 

his starting appearance against the 

Knights. Heath Hutcheson relieved 

Austin in the third, giving up five 

hits and a walk. 

Lake Mills is one of the North 

Iowa Conference’s top teams 

this season and the Bulldogs are 

currently ranked ninth in Class 2A, 

making Friday’s game another tough 

task for the Cards. The Bulldogs 

threatened to make a short night 

of this contest, surging to a 10 – 1 

lead after three innings but the 

Cardinals put together some offense 

through the remainder of the game, 

scoring once in the third, twice in 

the fourth and three times in the fifth 

to keep the game interesting. Lake 

Mills added an insurance run in the 

seventh on the way to a 13 – 8 win 

over the Cards. 

Joe Ermer had a good night 

offensively for Garner, collecting 

two RBI’s with a double. Zach 

Buseman also had two RBI’s with 

a single and Josh Thoebald added a 

pair of base hits to the offense. Blake 

Risius, Nathan Hrubes and Lance 

Austin all singled for Garner in the 

game as well. 

Joe Ermer went the distance on the 

mound for G-H, scattering 15 hits 

and four walks with a strikeout. 

Garner-Hayfield is now 1-9 in 

North Iowa Conference action 

and 3 – 18 – 1 overall. The Cards 

are scheduled to travel to Osage 

on Monday and Forest City on 

Wednesday before hosting Belmond 

on Friday.

(Open ‘til 8 on Thursday) 

WH Baseball splits 

in Conference Play 

West Hancock’s full schedule last week quickly turned into a light 

one as they only played games Monday and Friday. The Eagles were 

to play Forest City on Wednesday and Lake Mills Thursday, but both 

were rescheduled due to wet conditions. They will now take on Forest 

City at home this Thursday and Lake Mills away in a double header 

Friday. 

Last week, the men beat Garner-Hayfield for the second time this 

season in Garner 10-7. Both teams went scoreless through the first 

inning before they stayed plate for plate for the next three. They both 

scored one run in the second, two in the third and three in the fourth 

to keep the game interesting. The score was 6-6 heading into the fifth 

inning. 

The Eagles pulled ahead in the fifth with two added runs and one 

more in the sixth to bring the score to 9-6. They added one more in the 

top of the seventh for good measure before the Cards answered back 

in the bottom of the seventh, but their one run wasn’t enough as the 

Eagles walked away with the 10-7 win. 

Jonny Eeckhoff took to the mound for the Eagles striking out seven 

and walking four before Tim Smidt closed in the seventh striking-out 

one. The Cards were only able to strikeout three Eagles as they connected 

for 14 hits on the night. 

Zac Paulus drove in three runs and had a double for the Eagles. Ryan 

Fedders, John Burgardt and Eeckhoff all added doubles. Burgardt connected 

for three more hits and Eeckhoff for two resulting in two RBI’s 

each. Josiah Eckels, Smidt and Fedders all added two hits each to complete 

the 14 hits for the Eagles. 

Friday the men headed to Belmond-Klemme to take on the Broncos 

where they lost 1-2 in nine innings. The game was a quiet one at the 

plate as both teams went scoreless through the first eight innings. Tim 

Smidt pitched giving up seven hits and two runs with two walked batters 

and striking out ten. 

The Eagles managed four hits on the night. Josiah Eckels batted two 

of them while Tim Smidt connected for one and Zac Paulus hit a single 

to bring in Eckels to score the first run in the game in the top of the 

ninth. 

Both teams decided the ninth inning was the time to bring in runs 

as the Broncos answered in the bottom with two runs to steal the win 

from the Eagles. 

The men enter their final full week of regular season with a full 

schedule playing games every night. Monday they head to North 

Iowa, Tuesday they return home to take on Central Springs. Wednesday 

will be in Britt against Newman and Thursday will also be in Britt 

with Forest City. Friday they will head to Lake Mills to play a double 

header and next Tuesday marks their final regular season game against 

Osage at home.

Celebrate…Remember…Fight Back 

Hancock County cancer survivors (above) had plenty of reason to “Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back.” The 2011 Hancock County 

Relay for Life raised an estimated $91,500 for cancer research and other programs supported by the American Cancer Society. 

The group of approximately 70 survivors gathered in front of the bleachers for a photo Saturday evening. (Leader photo by Rebecca
