Josie Tremmel, Abby Danowky and Mateer Strong were selected from the submissions by SCSD Band Director, Jessica Meier (left) and SCSD Choral Director, Randy Stichter (not pictured) to become IAM’s this summer [photo by Robin Handy].

Three Selected as Music Ambassadors Iowa Ambassadors of Music European Tour, 2014 Submitted Local high school musicians, sophomore, Mateer Strong; freshman, Abby Danowsky and sophomore, Josie Tremmel, all from Sigourney High School are touring Europe with the Iowa Ambassadors of Music (IAM) July 3-18.

These local students are part of a select group of 378 student musicians, advisors and parents from across Iowa. The 2014 tour is a 20 day event including four days of rehearsal in Ginnell, with a 16 day tour covering England, France Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy and Liechtenstein. The students are performing in each country except Liechtenstein.

Iowa Ambassadors of Music tours Europe on alternate years. To be considered for membership in IAM, students must be recommended by their school music teachers as having superior music skills and possessing high character.

After this initial recommendation, the students are contacted about the opportunity to participate in the tour. This year the students perform in either the 200 member band

News-Review Deadlines Are Always Friday @ 5 p.m.

or 150 member choir on the tour. Strong plays clarinet, Tremmel plays saxophone and Danowsky is performing with the choir. Jessica Meier, Sigourney Band Director and Randy Stichter, choir director, nominated these students.

Being a member of the Iowa Ambassador of Music tour means that through performance, the participants participate in a sharing of cultures. Most tourists’ visit and take from their experiences, the Iowa Ambassador of Music also gives. One of the highlights from past tours has been when the students realize the USA’s national march, the “Stars and Stripes Forever” by John Philip Sousa, is a well-known and popular march in Europe. The choir’s opportunity to perform its selections in settings with over a thousand year heritage gives the students a chance to add a new page in the cultural venue of Europe.

Dr. Morgan Jones, Professor Emeritus from the University of Iowa conducts the Iowa Ambassadors of Music Band, and Peter Westphalen, of Cedar Rapids Washington High School, conducts the choir. Forty Iowa music teachers/musicians are going to assist in the musical preparation of the ensembles. The music teachers instruct the students and serve as advisors on the tour.

The 2014 European tour is IAM’s fourteenth trip. Since the group was established in 1988,over 5,000 students musicians have delighted European audiences with their performances as Iowa Ambassadors of Music.

Just Thinking Again

By Robin Handy, NR Editor

A few months shy of a decade in service to the readers of The News-Review and I’ve decided to embark upon a new adventure.

After several months of deliberation, I’m returning to college to pursue a degree in healthcare.

I love working with people, so this will just be a different branch of public service. I started classes this week at Indian Hills Community College in the nursing program.

Planning Has Begun for 5th Annual NNO

The Sigourney Elementary fourth grade class of Mrs. Glandon delivered their donations to the Keokuk County Lord’s Pantry last week. This is part of their annual philanthropic endeavors to help the less fortunate within their community.

The Keokuk County Lord’s Pantry will aid several children and families with food throughout the county this summer [photo submitted]. The KC Lord’s Pantry gladly accepts donations throughout the calendar year.

SPL Recipient of ‘Big Blue & Polly’ Last year, Kinze Manufacturing wrote, illustrated and published an original children’s book that retells a true story from the 1974 Farm Progress Show. This month, Kinze donated more than 250 copies to libraries across the country spanning the Midwest and East Coast.

The Sigourney Public Library received two copies and they are available to check-out.

The libraries that received the books all reside in communities where Kinze has dealerships. Kinze’s vice president and chief marketing officer Susanne Veatch believes that “people are our greatest asset, and that extends beyond our building walls. We want to play an active role in the communities we work in, and are happy to do so by encouraging children to learn about advancements in agriculture in a fun way.”

The book, “Big Blue and Polly,” features Big Blue the tractor and Polly the plow who were some of Kinze’s most talked-about products at the time.

The book is the first in what Kinze hopes will become a series of children’s books focused on agricultural advancements and innovations.

KC Represented at State Level Dixie Shipley and Helen Dumont represented Keokuk County at the annual meeting of the Central Iowa Tourism at Honey Creek Resort recently. A report was give on the Epic Iowa Road Trip. It was 9 days traveling Iowa to 46 communities and 60 unique destinations. It started on Friday, May 2. The keynote speaker was Arron Thomas of Applington- Parkersburg.

Area Youth Interested in Engineering & Construction Join the Town Square Park Committee and the 1-95th Army Reserve Unit out of Iowa City for some free hands-on training at the Community Work Weekend, June 6-8.

All interested parties are encouraged to attend and help in “raising” the park.

For more information, contact Jodi Greiner at MidWestOne Bank, 641-622-2381 or join the fun at the TSP (across from Memorial Hall).

After the presentation of the colors, the entire audience sang the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ and pictured on the right is Veteran Jim Stout, who shared a couple of poems including the one below [photo by Robin Handy].

Sigourney Memorial Day Service

By Robin Handy, NR Editor The spatter of spring rains didn’t stop a nice audience from gathering at the Hope Lutheran Church, Sigourney for the 2014 Memorial Day Service.

Emcee, Commander Craig Downing helped keep the audience engaged with his encouragement to sing along with vocalist, Frank Besser. The songs sang included ‘Star Spangled Banner’ and ‘God Bless America.’

Six Sigourney Elementary fourth grade students, Sam Greiner, Ethan Shifflett, Reagon Rozenboom, Cade Molyneux, Isabella Ireland and Samantha Stanley, were invited to recite their winning essays entitled, ‘Why I Love America.’

The three young ladies attended and shared their essays; each girl reflected on the beauty of our country and our freedoms (voting, marriage, children, medical and equality).

Josh Vermillion and Norman Atwood created a very moving video and Jim Stout shared a few thoughts and a poem (written by a Chinese survivor).

Stout ended with a question, “Was the sacrifice worth it?” And then, he read a poem entitled, ‘It is the Veteran.’

“It is the Veteran” It is the Veteran, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the Veteran, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Veteran, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble.

It is the Veteran, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Veteran, not the politician,

The Sigourney Police Department and Police Auxiliary is sponsoring the fifth annual National Night Out. National Night Out is scheduled for Tuesday, August 5 from 5-8 p.m. on the Sigourney square.

Last year was a huge success.

With the community’s help organizers hope to continue this family oriented night out.

National Night Out (NNO) is “America’s Night Against Crime.” Communities across the country celebrate with a variety of different events and activities. NNO is designated to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, strengthen neighborhood spirit and togetherness, and build police-community partnership.

In order to have another successful event organizers need help. They are looking for organizations, businesses, churches, etc. to participate and either have a booth with an activity and/or make a donation.

A booth could promote a business or organization but please make the activity the main focus. Any family friendly or educational activity is encouraged. Donations can be anything from money to purchase prizes, promotional items from a business or organization, or personal time and assistance in organizing this event.

Booth registration and participation is free of charge but each booth must register. A few booth suggestions are listed below, but please feel free to use imagination. Organizers also need a variety of food vendors. Last year NNO provided free entertainment, which was enjoyed by many.

Registration is open and accepted at any time, but for planning purposes please register the booth, activity or entertainment by Friday, June_27, 2014. Contact Mallary Snakenberg at the Sigourney Police Department with any additional questions.

The plan is to stay at the NewsReview for twelve more weeks to finish up several projects as well as continue to bring you the News-Review each week.

It has been an honor to work along side the entire community of Sigourney and Keokuk County. I’ve been able to develop a stronger bond to the area and make several new friends.

I had to laugh the other day because I don’t remember what it feels like to be a ‘regular’ person and not the ‘camera lady’ or ‘newspaper girl.’ I hope everyone rallies around the new person and continues to support the News-Review.

“The Preacher’s Corner”

The Two Frogs in the Cream

By Pastor Kim One night two frogs found themselves in a dairy. Hopping and jumping around as frogs do they both jumped into a milk pail half full of milk. After swimming around for some time they tried to get out. But the inside of the pail was too slippery and there was nothing on which they could rest so that they could jump out. One frog thought it was useless trying to swim on and just gave up hope and sunk and was drowned.

The other carried on swimming, hoping against hope something would turn up. He swam and he swam until he began to feel tired. But by this time the milk, which was full of cream, had become thick. When the frog had swum some more the cream had been stirred so much it became a solid lump of butter.

On this the frog could scramble and rest. And from it he could easily jump out of the pail into safety.

When we find ourselves in impossible situations keep paddling and soon the solution will naturally present itself. The Apostle Paul says, “Forgetting what is behind I focus on what is ahead, until I reach the finish line and the prize God has waiting for me.’

from Keith Blair, Keokuk County Veteran’s Affairs Administrator The Dedication of the Prisoner of War Monument is Saturday, June 7, at 1:30 p.m. at the American Legion Post 403 Reception Center, 910 Main Street, Van Meter.

Good Turn Out for Kinross Class Reunion Submitted The biannual all school Kinross High School reunion was held Sunday, May 25, at the English River Church of the Brethren. 41 graduates, spouses, relatives and friends were in attendance.

The earliest graduate in attendance was Helen Seitsinger Romberg from the class of 1931.

The first Kinross high school class graduated in 1904.

There were 418 graduates between 1904 and 1958, the final year in which high school students attended the Kinross facility.

A digital display of graduation class pictures and sports trophies was viewed by attendees.

The 2016 reunion will be held at the English River Church of the Brethren Sunday, May 29, 2016 at 6 P.M. Reunion officers are President, Robert Moyer (55), Vice President, Lonnie Miller (57) and Secretary-Treasurer, Roger Borup (55).

Managing Concerns About Falls Submitted The fear of falling can be just as dangerous as falling itself. People who develop this fear often limit their activities, which can result in severe physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater. Many older adults also experience increased isolation and depression when they limit their interactions with family and friends.

A Matter of Balance can help people improve their quality of life and remain independent.

A Matter of Balance is designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults.

Participants learn to set realistic goals to increase activity, change their environment to reduce fall risk factors, and learn simple exercises to increase strength and balance.

Milestones Area Agency on Aging is offering A Matter of Balance workshop June 4-27, 2014 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at the Hedrick Community Center located at 109 N. Main. Classes are twice a week (Wednesdays and Fridays) for four weeks.

Program available on a contribution basis. Books will be available. To register, contact Barb Schmidt at 641-622-3266.

Mckayla Lambert

By Nathan Vest This week’s Senior Spot light is Mckayla Marie Lambert.

Makayla is the daughter of Melvin and Kim Lambert. Mckayla has two siblings, Mackenzie Lambert and Amanda Berg.

Mckayla was involved in basketball, softball, FCCLA, yearbook, volleyball, and wrestling manager. Mckayla’s only nickname is Kayla. Her favorite band/singer is Luke Bryan.

Mckayla’s favorite childhood memory is when Mackenzie beat up a kid on the bus in St. Louis because he was making fun of her hair. Her favorite high school memory is when Emily ran straight into a truck after a football game freshman year.

Mckayla’s number one pet peeve is when people complain about things that they have the power to change, if you have a problem with it change it.

Quote for underclassmen,”It is okay to make mistakes just make sure you learn from them.” One thing on Mckayla’s bucket list is to take her mom to an Iowa bowl game because she has always wanted to go to one. Her plans after graduation include attending Kirkwood Community College to get her RN then go to The University of Iowa to obtain my BSN.

Tales of the Ancient Sportsman

Reminiscing

By Hilda Souer

by Burdell Hensley

The spring sports season has drawn to a close now it is time to dig out the lawn chair and head to the old ball yard.

Some high school games will be played on Monday (Memorial Day) and there are a lot of games scheduled for Tuesday.

Oskaloosa opens at noon on Monday, but I will not be able to be there. It is “Decoration Day” as they used to call it and we have a number of cemeteries to visit in western Iowa.

Those cemetery visits always result in a stroll through days gone by. Visits to Dillavou Cemetery near Scranton, Griswold Cemetery, Whipple Cemetery up in Wright Township and others always bring back many memories and most of them precious memories. It seems that when we walk through those places that the whole neighborhood is there.

This past week I was consumed by the state track meet as I spent all three days there. I must admit that I was as excited as a young kid going to the candy store. Having coached track for over 30 years and starting meets for nearly 25 years, the state meet is in my blood. One of the best things about the meet is meeting and visiting with old friends that I haven’t seen for some time.

Thursday I was so keyed up that I left the house without a jacket or a sweatshirt. After all, it was supposed to be nice and warm on Thursday. Wrong! It was pretty chilly in Des Moines.

I checked in and went up to the press box expecting a place in the penthouse of the press room. I was informed that they did not assign a spot for the Pella Chronicle but I could share the last room at the north end of the top level with Radio Ottumwa. OK, at least it wasn’t the outhouse. Jason Van Arkel and I got along fine and that room became my headquarters

for three days.

There were lots of thrills at the meet, but the top thrill for me was seeing EddyvilleBlakesburg-Fremont win the shuttle hurdle relay. Karlie Taylor ran a blistering anchor leg to bring home the bacon for the Rockets. The last time the Rockets won a hurdle relay was in 1977 and again in 1978.

Those were teams that I coached and it was a special thrill then.

I must admit that this one was just as sweet and congratulations to Sadie Baugher, Tasha Alexander, Bailey Baker and Taylor.

The weather was beautiful after a chilly start on Thursday morning and the athletes responded with multiple state records and all time bests. Most impressive was the Class 3-A 3200 meter run. Three boys went under nine minutes and all three were under the alltime best. Thomas Pollard, son of Iowa State Athletic Director, Jamie Pollard won the event in 8:50. In was a phenomenal run.

In that same race, Oskaloosa’s Spencer DeJong set an Oskaloosa school record as he topped the time set by my son in 1988. Great job Spencer.

Another thrill was seeing Mount Pleasant’s Leslie Taylor win her third long jump title in Class 3-A and her sister, Sydney, joined her on the winning shuttle hurdle team. Yes, those Taylor girls are part of the fleet Taylor family of Eddyville and I can assure you that hurdling is in their genes.

Also a girl from my home town Griswold Tigers won four events at the meet and that is as good as you can do. Rebekah Topham won the 3000, 1500, 800 and 400 Hurdles setting state records in a couple of the events. The Tigers were shooting for their fourth consecutive state team title, but had to

settle for second this year. For a while it looked as if Topham might win the Class 1-A title by herself, but North Linn had too much depth and overtook the Tigers down the stretch.

Pekin stayed right in the hunt in the 1-A girl’s class, but ended up fourth. Gwynne Wright led the Panthers as she was second in the 3000, 1500 and 880 meter runs. She anchored the distance medley team of Kaylee Linder, Sloan Reighard, and Samantha Wright to fifth place. Also the 4 X 100 team of Mallory Reed, Jessica Horras, Nikole Arendt and Linder took sixth place. In the field events Shelbie Williams took second place in the shot put.

The Pekin boys had three sixth places and a seventh place.

The 4 X 200 team of Chase Copeland, Tyler Copeland, Brody Long and Christian Wittrock was sixth as well as Colton Lanman in the high jump and Eric Adam in the shot put.

Jared Bond grabbed a seventh place in the discus throw.

North Mahaska’s Lorraine Brown leaped over the bar at 5’ 2” to take the third place in the 1-A girls high jump.

It is time one again to take a look back at our yesterdays.

100 years ago: May 30, 1914 – Keota gets tripped up at Washington as Washington scored in the bottom of the ninth to squeeze out an 11-10 victory.

75 years ago: May 31, 1939 – The New Sharon Indees slipped past the Oskaloosa CCC Camp 5-4. B. Hull pitched the win and fanned 12 batters. J. Hull led the hitting with a pair of hits. June 5 - In a twin-bill at Lacey, Blythe and Givin tied 7-7 while Rose Hill beat Lacey 9-4. Hunt poked three hits and Bracy added two for Blythe while Stringfellow cracked a pair of hits for Givin. Romine blasted a home run to lead Rose Hill.

depot was not far south of the second service station along this street. Then I remember my parents telling me of a pickle plant located east of this service station.

The second service or gas station building remains standing today. Back then the telephone office was across the street from it and west of the men’s clothing store or today’s Delta Grocery.

Earlier I told of the band playing on Saturday nights in the Summer was another form of entertainment would sometimes occur on the south side of the second street. This is where outdoor movies were shown in the lot east of the small cafe. Those wanting to see the movie sat on long wooden boards fastened to tile legs.

If reference to the men’s clothing store, on the top floor was a dentist’s office. Then, many years later there was a pool hall and large entrance area. Then, later still, was a skating rink in the basement level and a small grocery to the north of the men’s clothing store.

In thinking about the railway depot I remember going there at least twice to board the train.

Another time was to wait for the train at the crossing not far from my daughter’s piano teacher.

Another second story place was above the business at the north end of those on the west side of the main street. At the front was a doctor’s office and the lodge hall for use of Masons and Order of the Eastern Star members. The north, and across the street was the fire station and town hall.

In thinking about the cafe (Brainard’s Cafe) located adjacent to Delta ‘Merc’, I recall this was where I had my first frozen candy bar. Then, a Three Muskateer was a favorite because it was not one, but three small bars, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Today it’s the same size but one flavor.

By Janet Rauch

By Jane Green Larson It seemed the longer we sat with him in the two-seated swing, we really could hear it! In the stillness of the darkness on a hot summer night, I was absolutely sure I could hear the corn grow.

Sometimes the next morning I would go to the field and look at the many rows of corn and I was confident that he was right, that corn in the field had grown over night. He would often say, “A good crop of Iowa corn should be knee high by Fourth of July.”

I always hoped it would be at least that high so he would not be disappointed.

Since moving back to What Cheer after fifty years living in the city, it seems to me, the corn in the fields grow faster than it used to when I was a child. I have loved traveling around Keokuk County, seeing the crops, watching the trees bud and turn ever so green. I also love to see the cattle enjoy such green pastures and see the baby calves in the fields.

Sometimes I say to my husband, “This is such a joy to live where the farm land is so rich.”

It truly makes my heart glad. I am well aware these are blessings given to us by our Heavenly Father.

Now...I will look again as I did as a child, to see if the corn is knee high by fourth of July.

Last year I told my husband, “It looks like it is more than waist high by fourth of July.”

May each of you enjoy His many gifts that He daily bestows on our lives.

Just got to thinking about “things and places back then”.

One of the first things that came to mind when my father played his bass drum. This was when the local band played on Saturday nights (in summer) in the bandstand, yes Delta had a bandstand. It was located in the area North of the bank and near the alley.

While the band was playing Mother spent her time visiting with her friend, Ruth Sturdevant who was in charge of the dry goods area of the Delta Mercantile (familiarly called ‘Delta Merc’).

My brother spent our time with friends and we would walk up and down the sidewalks, and listening to the band. In remembering this, I thought of the changes along this same street The Delta ‘Merc’ was on the West side of the street. The North part of the store had a large assortment of groceries. The two areas that were of special interest (to me) was the large assortment of candies behind the glass counter.

Then, hanging not far from this area were two bundles of bananas. When a customer asked for bananas the clerk would be told the number desired and then the clerk would cut off the desired amount.

At that time, and on the same street, there was a drug store, barber shop, butcher shop, dress shop hardware, men’s clothing store and lumber yard. Today this is the area where highway 21 goes through Delta. On the other street back then were two service stations (one had a small ice house and the other had a hoist to service cars). Also there was a bank, two cafes, a furniture store, another grocery, a bakery and the post office. Adjacent to the post office could be seen some of what was part of the foundation of a hotel. A hitching rack was along the street adjacent to this.

Deep River News

Ponderings of the Heart Have you noticed the rows and rows of corn planted and coming up ever so green in the fields? This is a wonderful time to be living in Iowa, and in Keokuk County, don’t you think? I recall my Dad always wanted to have the corn planted

by Memorial Day each year.

After the fields were planted, and before it was time to cultivate, sometimes our family would spend evenings sitting in a two seated swing.. Often, as we glided back and forth...and as darkness fell upon earth, we would spend time searching for the Big and Little Dipper, along with all the other constellations. Dad would keep track of dates of the full moons when they would appear in the sky by the Farmer’s Almanac. I wonder these days if farmers use the Farmer’s Almanac. Gliding back and forth, our family would spend many hours, talking, laughing and singing. (Now this time of my life was long before we had a television set in our living room.) Of course, when darkness came, my sister and I would chase lightening bugs and put them in jars. Do you think children still do this today? I recall going to sleep with those bugs glowing on and off as the jar sat on my dresser.

Always in July, my Dad would ask us, “Girls, can you hear the corn growing?” He would encourage us to listen... and listen...saying, “Can you hear it grow?” I would listen and listen. He would say he could hear it, so I would listen again.

50 years ago: June 1, 1964Mt. Pleasant topped the Osky Connie Mack team 3-1 in the Ottumwa Holiday Tourney. Mel McKie was the hard luck pitcher for Osky. Tom Adreon had the only two Oskaloosa hits. June 2 - Pella Christian splits softball games with Roland. PC won 9-3 and then lost 9-5. Tina DeHaan pitched the win and was backed by 16 hits. Carolyn Van Arkel took the loss in game two despite allowing only four hits.

June 4- Bob Swanson fired a no-hitter and slammed a grand slam home run as Osky Connie Mack decked Tama-Toledo 6-1.

25 years ago: May 30, 1989 - North Mahaska finished second at the Class 1-A State Track Meet. The Warhawks won the medley, 4 X 200 and 4 X 100 relays. Brett McGriff, Chris Bouma, Curtis DeJong and John Knoot made up the 4 X 100 and 4 X 200 teams.

Travis Beyer was a close second in the 1600 meters and Lance Dahm was sixth in the 400 hurdles. May 30 - Montezuma’s Lance Elliott was victorious in both the 1600 and 800 runs at the Class 2-A State Track Meet while Pella Christian’s Jeff Zylstra was sixth in the long jump. In Class 3-A, Pella’s Kevin Hackert was the 800 champion. May 31- Eddyville’s Chris Edgren tossed a three-hit shutout and belted a pair of doubles in a 10-0 win over Monroe. May 31- Oskaloosa finished fourth at the State Tennis Meet. June 2- Emily Grimes fired a no-hitter as Pella Christian blanked Pella 11-0. Kim Pothoven led the Eagles with four hits and Karen VandeVoort blasted a home run and a double. June 5Tri-County falls to Keota 15-11 in a slugfest. Eric Stein clubbed a grand slam home run and two doubles for Tri-County.

Have a great week and be sure to grab the bug spray before you head out to the ball game.

Sigourney Public Library June Book Chat

The Sigourney Public Library is holding a book chat on Saturday, June 28 at 10 a.m.

The book to chat about this month is The Bite of the Mango

by Mariatu Kamara with Susan McClelland.

The astounding true story of one girl’s journey from war victim to UNICEF Special Representative.

As a child in a small rural village in Sierra Leone, Mariatu Kamara lived peacefully surrounded by family and friends.

Rumors of rebel attacks were no more than a distant worry.

But when 12-year-old Mariatu set out for a neighboring village, she never arrived. Heavily armed rebel soldiers, many no older than children themselves, attacked and tortured Mariatu.

During this brutal act of senseless violence they cut off both her hands.

In this gripping and heartbreaking true story, Mariatu shares with readers the details of the brutal attack, its aftermath and her eventual arrival in Toronto. There she began to pull together the pieces of her broken life with courage, astonishing resilience and hope.

The P.E.O. sisterhood is passionate about its mission of promoting educational opportunities for women. Our sisterhood proudly makes a difference in women’s lives with six philanthropies that include ownership of Cottey College, and five programs providing higher educational assistance.

Jack Smith Scholarship – Jeremiah Green Presented by SCSD Activities Director, Lee Crawford, “The Scholarship is awarded to a senior wrestler who participated in wrestling throughout their high school career and helped push their team mates toward success. This individual who is receiving the scholarship showed great leadership on and off the mat - Jeremiah Green.”

Sigourney Care Center & Windsor Place – Ashley Berg Presented by Staff member, Betty Waechter and Administrator Ryan Larmore. The Sigourney Care Center/Windsor Place Assisted Living are proud to be able to present this years’ scholarship to Ashley Berg. Ashley has shown great giving of herself to help those in need with compassion and consideration through community service.

U.S. Marine Corp. Scholastic – Rebecca Ohland Presented by Sgt. Matthew Gettler, “The Scholastic Excellence Award reinforces the “tough and smart” image of the Marine Corps by recognizing noteworthy academic achievements as well as leadership excellence. Nominees should be exemplary students who are role models and leaders of their peers. Recipients need not be “Straight A” students, but can be students who show the most academic improvement in the past semester or year.”

U.S. Marine Corp. Semper Fidelis Award – Ashley Berg Presented by Sgt. Matthew Gettler, “High school musicians embody many virtues that we, as Marines, admire. By and large, a high school musician is someone who gives 110 percent throughout the year. Not only does the young musician have to maintain a high degree of proficiency with an instrument through practice and rehearsal, but he or she has to maintain passing grades and devote time to the extracurricular needs of the band or orchestra. In doing so, the high school musician displays traits that Marines consider essential to being a good leader... endurance, knowledge, unselfishness, dependability, enthusiasm and loyalty. To help high schools promote recognition of achievements and sacrifices their musicians make, the Marine Corps provides the “Semper Fidelis Music Award,” a tradition that dates back to the days of John Philip Sousa and his role in making the Marine Corps Band the premiere musical unit it is today — The President’s Own.” U.S. Marine Corp. Athletic – Jeremiah Green and Sydney Davis Alliant Energy Scholarship – Gretchen Witzenburg Cobra Club Scholarship – Kevin Weber and Shane Swearingen Presented by Lucas Meier, “Cobra Club looks at academics, community involvement, extracurricular activities, and leadership. The applicant needs to be going to a 2 or 4 year college in the fall of the that year. A lot of the winners tend to be football players because the Cobra Club is the booster club for the football team, however being a football player is not necessarily a requirement.”

County Bank Scholarship - Shane Swearingen Presented by Lucas Meier, “We offer one $600 scholarship to a graduating senior who will be attending Indian Hills Community College the following year. This is offered to students in Keokuk, Iowa, and Poweshiek Counties. We don’t take the applications, but Indian Hills present us with a list of applicants available and we look heavily at community involvement and extracurricular activities.”

By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor We’ll start with the bad news. The bad news is that Rod Hill’s boys’ and girls’ golf teams were eliminated from State contention in their first action of the postseason; the good news is that the Eagles were still represented on an individual basis at boys’ District at Oskaloosa.

By finishing in the top four of the individual standings at Sectionals on May 16 in Keota, senior Kolton Greiner advanced to Districts on Friday, May 23, at Oskaloosa Golf Course. Greiner finished his first nine holes with a 42, before finishing his

last nine holes with a 39 to end the day with an 81.

BGM’s Colton Ryan and HLV’s Blake Kuesel tied for first with 79s; BGM’s Keaton Rhinehart placed third with an 80.

Finishing behind Greiner for the Eagles were Grant Hill and Avery Conrad, who each shot 99s. Zach Mousel rounded out Keota’s top four by scoring a 102, while John Mather finished up with a 103. Senior Sam Ollinger scored a 126 in his final prep meet.

On the girls’ side, Keota’s Grace Shemanski had the best day for Keota at Regionals at New London last Monday and finished with a 111, including 52 on her first nine holes.

The Eagles’ only other girl at New London, Madison Sieren, ended her day with a 134.

5-16 Sectional Golf @ Keota (boys) 5-19 1st Round Regionals @ North English (girls)

By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor Only one team at girls’ Sectionals in North English last Monday finished with a score of less than 400, and that one team was none other than English Valleys.

Jeff Kingland’s EV girls’ golf team advanced to the Regional Finals by finishing its day with a total score of 397 -- 16 fewer strokes than second-place North Tama.

The Bears had three golfers finish in the Top 5, including Rylee Voss, who placed third overall with a 94. North Linn’s Jessica Franson took the individual title by finishing with an 83, while Dunkerton sophomore Brittany Norem got second with an 85.

Ending her day a single stroke behind Voss was EV’s Sydnie Stephenson.

Stephenson shot a 47 through her first nine holes, before shooting a 48 throughout her second nine to finish with a 95 and place fourth. In fifth place overall finished EV senior Paige Hester with

a 98, while sophomore Claire Kingland rounded out the Bears’ top four with a 110, bringing EV’s team total to 397.

The Bears will golf for a trip to State on Tuesday, May 27, at Reinbeck’s Oak Leaf Country Club.

Three days earlier Kingland took his boys’ squad to Keota for Sectionals. Unfortunately, though, the Bears didn’t play well enough to advance either as a team or individually, ending their season shy of Districts.

The 1A boys’ State Golf Meet will be held at Marshalltown’s American Legion Golf Course on May 30 and 31. The 1A girls’ meet is on June 2 and 3, also in Marshalltown.

Savages and Trojans Fall Short 5-16 Sectional golf @ Keota (boys) 5-19 1st Round Regionals @ New London (girls)

By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor There will be no magical postseason runs for either the Sigourney or Tri-County golf team. The Sigourney and Tri-County boys’ teams got Sectional play underway on Friday, May 16, at Keota, and were outdone by BGM and HLV. The Bears (332) and Warriors (345) advanced on to Districts in convincing fashion. Meanwhile, the Savages didn’t bring their ‘A’ game and finished in fifth out of eight teams with 385 points; Keota finished fourth (381) and English Valleys placed third (357).

The top performer for the Savages at Sectionals was junior Colby Kerkove. Kerkove climbed back to shoot a 43 on his last nine holes to finish with a 90, after shooting a 47 through his first nine.

Not far behind Kerkove was freshman Kaden Bensen, who ended his day with a score of 92. Behind Kerkove and Bensen were Jordan Albert (101), Kevin Weber (103) and Shane Swearingen (107).

The Tri-County boys finished in seventh out of eight

teams and were led by Nick Watts’ 96. Along with Watts, the Trojans had a solid performance from sophomore Mason Garber, who ended his day with a 97. Senior Tyler Lally (100) and sophomore Chase Sellers (112) rounded out TC’s scoring, bringing the Trojans’ final tally to 405.

The Sigourney girls’ squad failed to muster any postseason magic either. The Savages played at New London on Monday, May 19, in the first round of Regionals, and they placed third as a team with a score of 429. New London came out on top with a score of 366 and Winfield-Mt. Union placed second with 401.

Stacy Mohr led the effort for the Savages and placed seventh individually with a score of 100. Just behind Mohr in a tie for eighth overall was Sigourney junior Brooke Schroeder and her score of 104. Sigourney’ third-best effort came in the form of Kendall Streigle, who ended her day with a 109. Ashely Shadley (116), Katie Dillon (122) and Hannah Redlinger (129) rounded out the Savage girls at New London.
