Urban Goose Hunt
Saylorville Reservoir will be dosed to Urban Goose
Hunt scheduled from September 1-9. Closure is due to
busy recreational use during the Labor Day period and
low water conditions making access extremely difficult
to popular marsh areas on the reservoir.
This closure includes the reservoir from Saylorville
Dam to Highway 17 Bridge. All other hunting seasons
on Saylorville Lake federal lands and water remain un-
changed.
If you have questions concerning this change, visit
the Saylorville Lake website at http://www2.mvr.us

Local HCI Hospice Care
Volunteer Honored
Iowa has the second highest volunteer rate in the
nation thanks to the 38 percent of Iowans who donate
their time to brighten the lives of others. Volunteers are
as essential to hospice care today as they were when
they spearheaded the hospice movement more than 30
years ago. Mary "Mickie" Sevde, Norwalk, is one of
these dedicated volunteers for HCI Hospice Care Ser-
vices and has been recognized for her contributions by
the Hospice and Palliative Care Association of Iowa
"I find volunteering for hospice rewarding," Sevde
said. It's interesting getting to know the patients and
their families and hearing their stories."
For the past three years, Sevde has provided her time
and talent to help brighten the lives of patients served
by HCI Care Serv'u:es. :Sevde offers her companionship
to patients by sharing stories, going on walks and read-
ing the sports page to sports fans.
"Mickie is a very caring person with a big heart who
works hard to brighten patients' lives," said Carol
Peterson, local HCI Care Services volunteer coordina-
tor. "She is always willing to help and is a wonderful
advocate for hospice."
From helping patients celebrate the New Year with
grape juice to transporting patients to see Holiday Lights
during Christmas time, Sevde continuously looks for
new ways to bring cheer to patients' lives. "She is a de-
lightful lady who goes the extra mile to make a patient
smile," said Peterson. "She often brings the patients
something special like a home baked treat, ice cream
shake or colorful flowers."
HCI Care Services, formerly Hospice of Central Iowa,
is seeking more volunteers like Sevde. Those interested
in volunteering are encouraged to contact Carol Peterson
at (515) 271-1304. Offering companionship, running er-
rands and assisting with clerical duties are some of the
volunteer opportunities available through HCI Care
Services.
