Stewart Memorial
Community Hospital
acquires new scanner

Certified radiology technologists Jenni King and

Marilyn Mumm demonstrate the new computed tomography (CT) scanner recently acquired by Stewart Memorial
Community Hospital.

Director of Radiology Mary Reiter explains, A
CT scan is a diagnostic medical test that, like traditional
x-rays, produces multiple images or pictures of the inside
of the body.

The cross-sectional images generated during a
CT scan can be reformatted in multiple planes, and can
even generate three-dimensional images.

CT images of internal organs, bones, soft tissue
and blood vessels typically provide greater detail than
traditional x-rays, particularly of soft tissues and blood
vessels.

The hospital purchased the scanner which will
provide a quality exam while reducing the dosage of radiation to the patient. All of the radiology technologists
employed by the hospital received extensive training pertaining to the use of the CT scanner.

For more information about the radiology services available at SMCH, call the Radiology department
at 712-464-4207 or visit their website at www.stewartmemorial.rog

SV Agriscience Teacher
attends Professional
Development Institute
Steven Kehoe, agriscience educator at Southeast
Valley High School recently attended an eight (8) day
professional development institute at South Dakota State
University to teach the course titled Introduction to Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources; Curriculum for
Agricultural Science Education (CASE) course in Kehoes program. This is the second course that he has been
certified in (Natural Resources and Ecology in 2014).
CASE is an instructional system that is changing
the culture of agriculture programs in the United States
through intense teacher professional development; inquiry-based, student-focused lessons; assessment; and certification. CASE equips teachers to elevate student experiences in the agriculture classroom, and prepares students
for success in college and careers emphasizing science,
technology, engineering and math (STEM).
While at the CASE Institute, Kehoe spent 65 hours
working through nearly every lesson in the year-long
curriculum and learning how to deliver lessons in an
inquiry-based way that will shift focus in the classroom
from teacher-led to student-directed learning.

Power tools, potatoes and holes in the bucket (list)...

Power tools and potatoes are on my bucket list.
One I want to use. The other I want to grow. Ill let you
take it from there.

Theres an allure to ripping wood with a band
saw or being locked and loaded with nail gun. Ka pow!
Pure, formidable, wieldy, strong power tools.

Likewise, theres a certain appeal to planting
tubers and waiting for them to sprout. Ka ping! Mashed,
baked, fried or cheesy potatoes.

I hadnt thought about combining the two
potatoes and power tools until I read up on potatoes on
Pinterest. Then the connection became clear.

One enticing post described the ease and functionality of growing potatoes in a large plastic container.
You dont even need a garden! Just dirt, sunshine and
water. And a large plastic container (or garbage bag in a
pinch). Its practically magic!

Before I could wave my wand and start the
show, I had to prepare the container. Potatoes like water,
but they dont want to sit in it. In order to avoid soggy
spuds, I needed to create a means of drainage by boring
holes into the bottom of my container. This took me from
potatoes to bucket list item number two: power tools, or
more specifically an electric drill.

I needed to find one.

I dont own a drill. Luckily my husband does.
He owns lots of power tools. When we do home improvement projects, he gets to hold them. I am the assistant.

But not last Tuesday. I had my potato project
and he was conveniently not at home. I found his drill
and assorted bits (the spiral doohickeys that do the hole
making). The bit currently in the drill was that of Phillips
head screwdriver. Im no power tool aficionado, but I
sort of figured a screwdriver was not the preferred bit for
my boring job. I found a smaller one and set out to figure
how to remove the Phillips and replace it with the little
bit. Simple enough.

Not really. This turned out to be more complicated than it sounds. It required multiple views of various You Tube instructional videos as well as a thorough
understanding of the anatomy of a drill. I learned the
section of the drill that holds the bit in place is called a
chuck. My solution rested in loosening chuck to release
the bit. Unfortunately my chuck was not a cooperative
sort.

I went back online and watched another video
about dealing with stuck chucks, which seems to be a
common problem with drills. After an additional 30
minutes of prying and prodding, my chuck proved to be
an unyielding, immovable piece of metal. He refused my
attempts to get him to turn (righty-tighty, lefty-loosey)
and I was beginning to think chuck didnt want me to use
the drill while my husband was unavailable to supervise

my power tool proficiency (or lack thereof).

Still, I was determined and wasnt ready to
chuck the project just yet. The Phillips head sat immobile
as I contemplated my options. I did not want to let the
darn drill win; but my back was against the wall and my
choices limited.

I plugged that bad boy in, gave a squeeze of the
trigger and felt the satisfying vroom of the drill in action.
I indulged in a moment of power tool induced euphoria.
And then I went to work.

Turns out the Phillips head drill bit is not the
logical or preferred choice for boring holes into a plastic
container, but it works in a pinch. I got my drainage job
done and had the potatoes planted before my husband
returned home. When he did, I showed him my project.

He nodded appreciatively at my handiwork and
said, Too bad there arent drainage holes in the bottom.

There are, I said. I made them myself.
(Pause.) With your electric drill.

My drill? His look was disbelieving. I
thought you didnt like power tools.

I got a chuckle out of that.

SUPPORT ETHANOL &

AGRICULTURE!
We need your help to urge the Obama Administration and the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to restore strong blending levels for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).
On May 29, 2015 the EPA unveiled a proposal that would reduce
the RFS and jeopardize rural economies like ours.
POET is asking for your help! You are encouraged to write personal comments in support of
agriculture and ethanol. Tell the EPA not to reduce the RFS. Please write your comments on
the cutout form below and return to POET, 1562 320th St., Gowrie, IA 50543 by July 15.
The EPAs proposed cuts could lead to higher prices you pay at the pump,
increased dependence on foreign oil, higher greenhouse gas
emissions and lost opportunities for family farms.
We hope you will join us by writing your comments today.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

The 4th! Remember why....

As we approach July, we often think of hot summer weather and the things we can do on a sunny day,
most often at church on Sunday closest to the 4th we usually sing a few patriotic hymns or anthems, especially
My Country Tis of Thee and most definitely The
Battle Hymn of the Republic.

The latter hymn has been in the hymnals of
most mainline churches and even the Catholic Church for
many years.

I checked the last three editions of the Lutheran
church hymnal and they have all used the same words and
basically, the same arrangement.

These are the same words that so enthrall and
captivate us when the All Iowa High School Chorus
ends their program, especially when they slowly sing the
words to the third verse, In the beauty of the lilies Christ
was born across the sea, With a glory in his bosom that
transfigures you and me; As he died to make men holy,
let us live to make men free, While God is marching on,
then back on tempo for the ending refrain.

So often my heart palpitates and my eyes moisten. In researching I found there are other verses yet the
three familiar to us are most frequently heard. Julia Ward
Howe was the author and I am not positive that she wrote
any of the other verses.

There were two different reports on her having
written the poem. It was during the Civil War and she
had visited a Union Army Camp and was moved to write
them after the visit.

Another says that in Washington, D.C. she witnessed a company of soldiers marching down the street
singing John Browns body lies a mouldring in the
grave and later that day wrote the words which are now
sung to that same tune. Sounds plausible.

This year July 4th falls on a Saturday thus giving
many of us a popular three day weekend.

So, how many will be off in so many directions,
camping, visiting friends and relatives, entertaining, going to celebrations, taking mini-vacations, just hanging
out?

Will many churches be sparsely attended and
the few voices singing those great songs? How many will
actually stop to remember forefathers whom if not on and
in this land, somewhere fought for freedom and unity of
country?

I have previously mentioned a great grandfather
who served in a Union Army unit during the civil war.
My Dad was too young for WWI but he had cousins who
were in the army, one being gassed and suffering from
its effects the rest of his life.

His twin wasnt assigned to the same unit. Dad
was too old to be drafted during WWII but I had a number
of cousins who were in the services during its duration,
all serving in danger zones and fortunately all came
home to live out their lives.

My two older sons were in the Navy, the eldest
doing 20 on both surface craft and his favorite, submarines.

The eldest served a mission during Desert Storm
and says he has no exact idea where they were. He was
flown from the west coast to the east and then on to the
Mediterranean, put on a submarine at a still undisclosed
location.

They were submerged the whole tour and at
its end a helicopter picked him up and flew him to an
airport in Italy and he came home again.

The other served as an Aviation storekeeper,
most of the time in California except for short tours on
carriers and sometimes in rescue/cleanup assignment for
downed planes.

A grandson was in the Air Force and was with a
unit that built and repaired airport landing areas in different parts of the world.

His son is now serving in the Navy assigned to
an aircraft carrier doing a similar job as his Grandpa did.
I am proud of my family members for their desire to serve
their country.

Now we hope that our boys and girls can
stay home or at least be stationed in safe places. It
seems each time our country is involved in a conflict that
the tales we hear are getting worse.

This July 4th and throughout the year, let us
hope and pray that we can keep most of them on our land
and shores.

In remembering The Fourth of July, Independence Day, I will give special thanks that not only have I
had relatives close to me that have served, I had ancestors who were around and helped preserve the nation.

Possibly (because so far family trees have not
been traced back to another country) I had some around
at Revolutionary times and prior. I, barring any unforeseen snags or emergencies, plan to be in church on
July 5th and sing My Country Tis of Thee and Mine
Eyes Have Seen the Glory and others praising God for
watching over our land and its people.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
HANG YOUR
FLAGS AND HAVE A GREAT, SAFE FOURTH EVERYONE!
Danielle Clancy
named new
Gowrie City Clerk
By Tyler Anderson

Since June 1, a new nameplate has sat at the
Gowrie city office off of Market Street.

Adorned with bold, blue letters, the nameplate
signifies that Danielle Clancy is the new City Clerk of
Gowrie.

Her workspace is neat and orderly, as folders
and organizing materials surround the desk. Despite the
new position and employer, Clancy is a familiar face
among the Gowrie community.

Ive been in Gowrie since 1995, Clancy said.
But I grew up in Moorland, so I went to school here.

Being a graduate of Prairie Community of
Gowrie, Clancy has kept herself planted in the area.

I worked at Electrolux in Webster City before it
closed, Clancy said of her previous places before working for the City of Gowrie. I went back to school at Iowa
Central Community College for two years and got my
administrative specialist degree. In the process of waiting for a job, I worked at Prairie Valley Elementary and
Southeast Valley Middle School and then I came here.

Clancy was sworn in at the last Gowrie City
Council meeting on June 15.

I have come into the office and done a lot of
organizing, cleaning and doing the basics, Clancy said
of her job responsibilities.

Because she has been hard at work with cleaning things, Clancy does have set goals while serving the
City of Gowrie.

Id like to see everything budgeted, Clancy
said. Basic, simple, routine. If the Mayor wants to know
the revenues and the expenses, I can provide that. That is
our goal, to make life easier for everybody.

Clancy has family all over the place, starting
from Moorland outward.

Her family goes far and wide, as Clancy has an
uncle in Florida, who moved back to the United States
from Bermuda a few years ago.

Unfortunately, Clancy never had the chance to
visit Bermuda.

Danielle is in the office from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. She can be contacted at the City
Clerks office or at gowclerk@wccta.net.

Danielle Clancy, the new Gowrie City Clerk,
works at the city office in the Gowrie Community Center.
Clancy began her work at City Clerk on June 1.

The Phil & Pam Morgan

family perform July 12
at Gowrie City Park
Gospel music recording artists The Phil &Pam Morgan Family will be appearing at The Gowrie City Park
on July 12th, gathering at 4:30, potluck at 5, concert at
6. (In the case of inclement weather, the event will be
held at Gowrie United Methodist Church) The concert
will begin at 6 p.m. and is part of their national Take A
Stand Ministry Tour.
The multimedia presentation combines close family
harmony with accomplished instrumentals for a fun, motivational experience. Take a Stand is not only the groups
signature song, it is a triumphant theme considering Pam
was once told she would never stand or walk again.
The husband and wife team from Kansas City, MO
began singing together full-time in 1996, but their ministry came to an abrupt halt Sunday afternoon, June 4th,
2000, when the couples van crashed into a bridge. Pam
was thrown onto the roadside, suffering numerous injuries including a broken neck that left her completely paralyzed from the chest down.
Top surgeons said she would never feel or move
most of her body again. The couple immediately began a
prayer chain from their PhilandPamMorgan.com website
that soon circled the globe. Much to the doctors amazement, feeling and movement began to gradually return
to Pams lifeless limbs. In one year she progressed from
being wheelchair bound to walking unassisted.
The specialists still have no explanation for Pams
miraculous recovery, but the Morgans attribute her healing to the power of God. Exactly one year after the accident, Phil and Pam walked into a Nashville studio to
record Living Proof. Phil, an award-winning songwriter,
composed all the songs on that CD as well as many recordings that followed.
Pastor Mark Young has hosted several of the Morgans concerts. Phil has an amazing gift of writing their
personal journey of faith into music that relates to everyone, he said. His lyrics speak truth and offer hope in a
way that is truly impressive.
When tragedy struck our family, God was the only
One who got us through, Pam said. My prayer is that
through our story and music, others will be motivated to
walk with God everyday, no matter what life brings.
The Morgans message of hope and encouragement
has attracted much media attention. Their story has been
told on Oprah, Montel, TBN, Discovery Healths Only
A Miracle and The 700 Club, as well as in many national
newspapers and magazines including Womans World.
Their music is heard on Christian radio across the United
States, Australia and Europe, and their live appearances
inspire audiences nationwide with an an unforgettable
blend of music, humor and heart-to-heart honesty.
For more information about the concert, contact Annette Kruse at 515-352-3715.

SE Valley applies for Iowa Leadership,

Compensation grant totaling $347,328
Iowa Teacher Leadership and Compensation (TLC) Grant...
By Jim Henrich; Submitted by Rich Stoffers

During the 2013-2014 school year, public school
systems across the State of Iowa had the opportunity to
apply for the Iowa Teacher Leadership and Compensation System grant. Schools not receiving or not applying
for the grant in 2013-2014 are now in the process of applying for funding that would be used in the 2016-2017
school year. Southeast Valley falls into this second category, and the districts are in the process of applying for
the grant at the present time.

Southeast Valley is creating a grant writing
committee that will be made up of parents, community
members, teachers, administrators, and members of the
school board. The purpose of this team is to design a system of teacher leadership for the Southeast Valley School
District.

If awarded, the total grant funds for the district
would be $347,328 (based on current enrollment statistics) to become effective in the 2016-2017 school year
after the grant application is accepted.

This grant money will be used for increasing
starting teacher salaries, for salaries of newly created
teacher leadership positions, and for salaries of other
teachers needing to be hired to fill vacancies created by
the new leadership positions.

The money will also be used to support the TLC
training and implementation process.

The TLC grant rewards effective teachers with
leadership opportunities and higher pay, attracts promising new teachers with competitive starting salaries and
more support, and fosters greater collaboration for all
teachers to learn from each other.

The philosophy driving the TLC system is the
thought that improving student learning requires improving the instruction they receive in the classroom every
day.

One of the very best ways to do this is to em-

power our best teachers to lead the effort. Through the

TLC system, teacher leaders take on extra responsibilities. These duties include helping colleagues analyze
and effectively use data, and helping them fine tune instructional strategies with collaborative coaching and coteaching.

Bipartisan legislation created a four-year process to fully develop the statewide Teacher Leadership
and Compensation System, with the goal of all school
districts voluntarily participating by the 2016-17 school
year.

The goals of the Teacher Leadership and Compensation System are:

Attract able and promising new teachers by offering competitive starting salaries and offering shortterm and long-term professional development and leadership opportunities.

Retain effective teachers by providing enhanced
career opportunities.

Promote collaboration by developing and supporting opportunities for teachers in schools and school
districts statewide to learn from each other.

Reward professional growth and effective
teaching by providing pathways for career opportunities
that come with increased leadership responsibilities and
involve increased compensation.
Improve student achievement by strengthening instruction.

The deadline for this application submission is
Oct. 16, 2015. Announcement of the scoring of the grant
application and hopeful acceptance will be in early Dec.
2015.

Additional information on the TLC grant can be
found on the Iowa Department of Education website.

note. After the week of play, the Lady Jags have improved to 17-9 in the 2015 campaign thus far.

Newell-Fonda 2, Southeast Valley 1: Coming
back from splitting the Humboldt triangular, the softball
team dropped a 2-1 decision Monday to Newell-Fonda in

the dish, going 2-3 and hitting a double.

Cindy Carstens of Gowrie, Vice President of Nursing and Ancillary Services at Stewart Memorial Community Hospital (right) describes the Patient and Family Advisory Council to SMCH Auxiliary member Pat Albright (left). SMCH is
currently seeking members for the newly formed council.
SMCH seeks applications for Patient

and Family Advisory Council Members
Enhancing the patient experience is about focusing
on healthcare through the eyes of others. Stewart Memorial Community Hospital is seeking volunteers who
are interested in working with patients and families to
engage them in helping to make SMCHs care the best
it can be. To do this, SMCH is now creating a Patient
and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) and is recruiting
members. The rewards of participating on the PFAC will
be many, from meeting new friends to hearing the voice
of others, and making an impact on the care of patients.
Its your opportunity to make a difference and enhance
the patient experience.

As an organization, we constantly work to improve services. In forming the PFAC, we believe the patients voice can help us understand from their perspective which processes and tools can facilitate improved
patient centered care. Our goal is to create a council that
embodies partnership and communication. The council
will be reflective of the diverse communities we serve
diversity in terms of income level, racial and ethnic
makeup, health status and religion to name a few. The
council will be composed of patients, family members
and/or friends of patients and community leaders, as well
as health care professionals, says Cindy Carstens, Vice
President of Nursing and Ancillary Services at SMCH.
The mission of PFAC is dedicated to strengthening collaboration between patients and family members and the healthcare team, by being involved in decision making. The Council is committed to creating an
environment of safety, dignity, respect and honesty, in
delivering the highest standards of comprehensive and
compassionate healthcare.
The PFAC will be comprised of patients and
family members, SMCH, McCrary Rost Clinic and Community Pharmacy staff. This group will plan and develop
truly responsive services. Members should be willing
to make a commitment to meeting with SMCH leaders,
physicians and staff, work as a team, share experiences,
provide honest feedback, respect the perspective of others, meet with other patients and families, work on program development projects and other projects outside
the monthly meeting, educate the leadership and staff,
and work to enhance the patient and family experience.
Members should plan to participate in meetings lasting
two to three hours and attend PFAC orientation programs. Additionally, members will engage in additional
work outside the meetings for program development and
to meet with patients and families about their experiences.

Anyone who is passionate about working to improve SMCH is welcome to apply to be on this volunteer
council. Applications are available at SMCH, McCrary
Rost Clinic locations in Lake City, Lake View, Rockwell
City and Gowrie and online at www.stewartmemorial.

Restored Lehigh jail cell showcased

at Lehigh River Days Parade

Whats up, friends? For those in the Gowrie
News area, I believe that I have been missed. I have
missed you too. Your feedback in my news stories and
columns have been great. Keep those coming, because
I want to get better at knowing this part of the world. It
will be a process, but I want to be honest with you every
single step of the way.

Last weekend, I made the trip to Waverly to
catch the Gentlemen of the Road stopover. I caught My
Morning Jacket (you know, the band Stan Smith loved to
death in an episode of American Dad?) on Friday, then
enjoyed The Flaming Lips and Mumford & Sons on Saturday. Before the final concert though, oh man, was it a
mess.

I camped with a couple of friends over Friday
night. At 7:30 in the morning, a strong storm rolled into
Waverly. The sirens were blaring and the police were
advising us to head to The W The Wartburg-Waverly
Sports & Wellness Center. My friends and I spent a few
hours there, and me being my curious self, had the urge
to explore the place.

Dear Lord, is that place immaculate. It has an
indoor track and field, weight rooms up to the eleven and
has a basketball arena inside. It was certainly nicer than
West Texas A&M and according to my friend, nicer than
Iowa States recreational center. Well done, Wartburg.
Well done, Waverly.

Next, we found out that our tent flooded. Bummer. Luckily, I only had a deflated air mattress and
a cheap, throwaway pillow in there. I felt bad for my
friends, who had to give up a sleeping bag and a few other
things. Nothing too valuable though.

We had to get our cars. The night before, we
parked in a hay field and hiked into the open plain where
the concert was held.

With the massive amount of rain, that hay field
became a mud pit. It was not friendly to my pair of Nikes
and our vehicles.

People were getting stuck. Thank goodness for
my grandfather teaching me how to drive in hay fields
and experience with driving around in mud.

Not as much as other folks, but enough for me
to not spin my wheels and wait until the field dried off. If
that was the case, I would have had to wait until Monday.
Relic from late 1800s found, recovered in Burnside...

By Tyler Anderson

At the Lehigh River Days Parade, a curiosity
was among the many entrants of the river towns showcase of floats and vehicles on a bright, Saturday morning.

Enclosed in its confines was the Mayor of
Lehigh, Paula Martin, who sat on the cushion on top of
its metal frame bed.

While many chuckled at the mayors present
situation alongside the parade route, the jail cell she was
held in is a hallmark of Lehighs storied past.

The jail cell was recovered, restored and given a
new lease on life. The jail cells renewal was all thanks to
a group of Lehigh historians.

Not happening with our proverbial deadline day
at the Dayton Review-Gowrie News.

We found some nice parking spots within city
limits and went about our day. The rest of the day from
there smoothed over quite well. In short, it was a fun
time.

So there is my fun explanation of why I was nowhere to be found on Lehigh River Days. I would like to
give a massive kudos to Jeff Heck for all of the wonderful
pictures he took of the parade and a few of the events.

Jeff has been an all-star for us as of late, and I
sincerely appreciate all of the work that hes done. Especially coming in on a Sunday afternoon and allowing me
to upload pictures to the Dayton Review-Gowrie News
Facebook page. Again, thank you so much, Jeff.

On one last note, Im looking forward to the
Fourth of July Celebration in Gowrie this upcoming
weekend. I can assure you that I will have my camera
handy and I will snapping away at all of those awesome
floats at the parade.

Jeff may be there too, so if you spot us dodging and ducking, be sure to wave hello. Were more than
happy to wave back and say how do you do?

Im also looking to that awesome fireworks display.

I found it as I was driving through Burnside,
and there it was, you can see it from the road, Doug Linn
said of his discovery. Thats how we found it again; it
was sitting in a bunch of bushes.

Doug Linn, a prominent member of the Lehigh
Historical Society, then called his good friend Roger
Smith. Coming across the jail cell, Linn and Smith saw
that it was in rough shape.

One of its sides was missing, and its frame was
bent out of shape.

According to Smith, the cell door alone took
three to four hours to get it to open and close properly.
When the cell was removed from its location, it was torn
out with little regard, bound for the junk heap.

We got it hauled here and it was sitting on the
ground, Smith said. I got Doug Zuspann to look at it.
He does a lot of body work. He fell in love with it and
said, we need to fix that. He came in and we spent three
days fixing it up.

Smith then had the material donated from a
friend of his, figured to be up to $100.

We donated the work, so we didnt put any
money into it, Smith said. It turned out pretty good.

As with any lost treasure, the jail cell had quite
a history to it. According to Linn, its origins were calculated to be from the late 1800s.

It was in the bottom of the old post office in
Lehigh, Linn said. Before that, it could have been
somewhere else in town and put there when they built the
post office in 1904.

The cell, according to Linn, could have been
around a lot longer, in an older post office building that
caught fire in the beginning years of the 20th century.

Smith chimed in, recalling a fond memory of the
cell being in the post offices basement.

I can remember it when I was a little kid going
to school, Smith said. After school, my friends and I
would run to the post office and peek in the basement
window and see who they had in jail.

Another part of the cell was the metal floor, possibly to prevent a prisoner from an underground escape.

It had a part of a metal floor in it, but we were
afraid that someone would get cut, Smith said. It was in
bad shape and it was all rotted away.

After the parade, the cell returned to Smiths
home in Lehigh. It will sit outside during the summer,
allowing the elements to give it a rustic patina.

The jail cell will make a return at the Dayton
Rodeo Parade, before finding its permanent home at the
Lehigh Historical Museum.

The cell, whose interior is shown, was housed in the old
post office in Lehigh. Linn calculated that the cell's origins
date back to the late 1800s.

Southeast Valley 9, Greene County 3; Interstate 35 (Truro) 4, Southeast Valley 1; Southeast
Valley 4, Iowa Falls-Alden 2: Throughout Saturday, the
South Hamilton tournament in Stanhope and Jewell was
quite favorable for the Southeast Valley softball team.

Avenging an early season loss, the Lady Jags
snapped a four game win streak by the Rams, defeating
Greene County in a resounding 9-3 victory.

Next, they would encounter a stellar Interstate
35 squad, dropping a tough 4-1 loss.

To end the day, the girls rebounded with a 4-2
win over Iowa Falls-Alden. Incoming freshman Morgan
Castenson picked up the victory on the mound.
