SENIOR SPOTLIGHT
Jacob HoxsieThis week’s senior spotlight is on none other than Jacob Hoxsie, son of Brian & Shandi Kennebeck and Daniel and Angela Hoxsie.
We were curious to know what Jacob’s plans were after graduating this Spring at G-R, so we asked, and here’s what Jacob told us: “I plan to go to DMACC in Carroll to obtain my General Education. After that I will decide what I would like to major in. I would like to go into Nursing or Mental Health Therapy.”
And what about ten years from now? What does Jacob envision himself doing? Here’s what Jacob told us: “10 years from now I see myself working hard at whatever job I have now. I will hopefully have a house and loving family to come home to also.”
And when it comes to inspiration, Jacob gets his from a lot of places, but we asked him who was most inspira-tional in his life, and he told us: “My father is the most inspirational to me. He has taught me the morals I have and has always taught me to do what makes me happy, not what makes others happy.”
Favorite Teacher - If you were to catch Jacob walking down the halls at the school, you’re most likely to find him heading towards Mr. Fisher’s classroom because that’s his fav teacher. Here’s what Jacob told us: “My fa-vorite teacher by far is Mr. Fisher. Even if I am having the worst day ever, he understands. He doesn’t push me to go at everyone’s pace. He allows me to go at my own. He also never fails to put smiles on other people’s faces.
What about secrets? Surely Jacob has one that he feels nobody else knows right? Here’s what Jacob told us: “I don’t think people know that I have a love for all animals. Big or small I love all animals. I have always wanted to get a Corgi. They are by far the cutest dogs!” Nice!
Let’s talk about advice shall we? We wanted to know what advice Jacob would like to give all the G-R under-classmen since he’s graduating. Here’s Jacob’s advice: “I would tell underclassmen to explore and not be afraid. Do what you want to do and do your best. Have fun while you can. Go out with friends, go to sporting events, join
clubs, do whatever you want! Also do as well in school as you can from freshmen year and up. Even if you don’t plan on attending college now, if you decide to go on to college later on you have the grades and knowledge to be accepted if you want to.” Great advice Jacob!
Lastly, let’s talk food! We all were wondering what in the world would be Jacob’s favorite. When asked, Jacob told us this: “I love chicken nuggets, chicken breast, fried chicken, any kind of chicken. My favorite chicken to eat is the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich from Hy-vee Market Grille. I could always go for it, no matter what time of day!” Gotta love chicken!
Congratulations Jacob on your upcom-ing graduation at G-R this Spring, and here’s wishing you all the best the fu-ture has in store for you!
NEWS FROM THE IOWA HOUSE WEEK 10
SAVEHouse File 546 (the SAVE extension bill) passed the House with a 96-3 margin. Currently the sunset date will take effect in 2029. This bill will add twenty more years to 2049. It is im-portant to pass now because bonds often times mature in twenty years. At this time, the SAVE money is only guaranteed through ten more years. Obviously that makes it harder to receive bond money and sometimes even if that money becomes available, a higher interest rate will be paid. Without the SAVE penny, the only al-ternative is to use general obligation bonds that fall on the backs of local property tax payers. Other provisions in the bill include the prioritization of school safety. The bill prioritizes se-curity efforts in all attendance centers by using the funds to provide secure entrances, cameras, and other safe-ty enhancements. The bill will also provide new and better science labs, computer labs, and technical labs for skilled trades. This will encourage Career Technical Education which will help students get hands-on expe-rience with career options in technical fields. The state of Iowa has a huge shortage of skilled workers.
Bipartisan Children’s Mental Health Legisla-tion Passes House
In the past several years, we have tried to improve adult mental health and have made strides. Now the focus is on children’s mental health. Act-ing on recommendations from mental health providers, advocates, and par-ents, the House passed legislation this week that develops the framework
for a community-based mental health system specifically de-signed for the children of Iowa. The bill focuses on building the infrastructure necessary by bringing together mental health professionals, parents, and ad-vocates (as well as educators and other representatives) from Iowa’s K-12 system.
The bill will also ensure that parents can easily seek help when their child needs mental health support. Each mental health region will have a lo-cal care coordinator dedicated to assisting parents to connect with providers near their com-munity to find treatment for a child with a mental health is-sue. A state-wide 24 hour crisis line will also now be available to assist with finding mental health treatment options for both children and adults.
Flooding in Iowa
Much of Northern and West-ern Iowa is experiencing sig-nificant flooding in what was a perfect storm of intense rain and snow followed by warm temperatures that caused snow melt runoff over still frozen ground. This has particularly devastated many communi-ties along the Missouri River where several levees have been compromised. Governor Reynolds issued a disaster dec-laration for 57 out of 99 Iowa counties. Carroll, Audubon and Crawford counties are includ-
Brian Bested. She met with Vice President Mike Pence and Nebraska Gov-ernor Pete Ricketts last week to participate in a flyover of flood damage on both sides of the Missouri River. She asked for a federal disaster declaration and over the weekend President Trump approved of $1.6 billion for the flooding aid. The Gov-ernor also released information to help Iowans impacted by the recent flood. Applying for assis-tance can be done via phone at 1-800-621-3362 or go online to disasterassistance.gov.
Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says he “absolutely” will call for an inquiry into the Army Corp Engineers’ actions like order-ing the town of Hamburg to re-move reinforcements from a le-vee which protected the town in the 2011 floods. “When a town was trying to help themselves and then have to take protection down and then get flooded like they have now, where it’s prob-ably worse than it was in 2011,” Grassley says. “We have to have a complete review of the manual that governs all that”.
Our next forum will be on Sat-urday March 30th at 10:00 AM. This will take place at the Le-gion Hall in Westside.

just developed its goals this winter. This group hopes to fill needs for the school, like sup-
plying names, calling individuals or businesses, lining up speakers or tours—the little jobs that take time that teachers don’t always have to round out their lessons. Bentz had co-chair Diane Thelin line up the interviewers and evaluators for her projects and make the connections for Bentz to give the students more incentive to put effort into these two projects.
The committee is now planning with teachers Payton Ball and Kayla Schwanz and aide Cindi Onken for an all-school community-service day to be held the morning of April 26. Karen Garringer, Instructional Coach, supplied some guidelines; Kreg Lensch, Superintendent, has given permission and encourage-ment for the project, as well as man-dated it to the staff.

St. Anthony to Host Third Annual Girls Night Out
St. Anthony Regional Hospital is pleased to present the third an-nual Girls Night Out, a “To Your Health” community event for women, on Wednesday, April 10 at Carrollton Centre in Carroll. Women of all ages are invited to socialize, shop and participate in the program. Vendor booths will open at 5:00 p.m., and the program will begin at 6:30 p.m.
The wildly popular event fo-cused on women’s health is de-signed to engage women in can-did conversation about a variety of topics, including balancing schedules and personal health. Dialogue is encouraged, and at-tendees may submit anonymous questions prior to the event by email to [email protected] as well as during the event.
“By setting aside time to talk specifically about women’s health issues, it is our goal to let the women of west central Iowa
know that we, as health care providers, are here to listen and to help,” said Suzy Feigofsky, M.D., of the Iowa Heart Center located at St. Anthony.St. Anthony medical staff mem-bers will be on site to lead dis-cussion as well as a question and answer session. Physicians will include: Dr. Feigofsky; Amy Canuso, D.O., St. Antho-ny Mental Health; Tina Flores Schechinger, M.D., St. Antho-ny Clinic; and Michelle Heim, D.O., McFarland Clinic.
“Women give so much of them-selves – to their family, commu-nity, and careers,” said Dr. Ca-nuso. “This is an opportunity to relax and have some fun while we learn how important it is to be healthy - mentally and physi-cally.”
Event planners have created an inviting environment for learn-ing and sharing.
“This is an opportunity to make women’s health a priority, in a fun, friendly environment,” said Dr. Heim. “We hope to discuss a variety of topics in a comfort-able setting, to educate and en-courage women to make their health a priority in 2019 and beyond.”
Girls Night Out will remind women to make their own health a priority.
“As women, it’s easy to fall into our daily routines and allow our health concerns to take a back-seat,” Flores said. “By bringing attention to the importance of women’s health, it is our goal to spark discussion and improve the well-being of women in our community.”
To register for the free commu-nity event, contact St. Anthony Regional Hospital at (712) 794-5243 or [email protected].
