Sigourney Elementary Holds Bike Rodeo

Allison Glandon NR Editor Keokuk County Ambulance Service came to Sigourney Elementary Friday, May 8 to educate children on bicycle safety. The children were fit and given helmets if they didn’t already own one, and taught the proper rules for riding bicycles. The children were also taught how to distinguish different signs when riding and proper riding attire.

The Ambulance Service holds a Bike Rodeo every 3 years and attend Sigourney, Keota and Tri-County Schools. The helmets that are given are either bought from a memorial account, which are donations from people who have passed away, or donated from another party. This year the Kiwanis donated a large amount for the helmets.

Keokuk County Ambulance service along with Sigourney Police Department, reward children by giving out prizes if they see them wearing bicycle helmets and promoting bicycle safety. The prizes they can receive are either a free ice cream cone from Walk “ER” Drive Thru, or a free game of bowling at the Keokuk County Bowling Alley. All these prizes are donated from the Keokuk County Bowling Alley.

IEDA Evaluates Sigourney’s Square Allison Glandon NR Editor The Iowa Economic Development Authority team visited Sigourney’s square Wednesday, May 6. The IEDA team, Jim Engle, Debi Flanders and Tim Reinders, walked around the downtown area with community leaders, Rick Landgrebe, John Wehr, Shirly Holm, Lucas Meier and Donna Grossman. The team evaluated the square based on appearances of shops, restaurants and other businesses, sidewalks, alleys, and more. After a tour by the community leaders, the IEDA team discussed privately what they thought the downtown Sigourney area could use to be more inviting. A meeting was then held and the IEDA team discussed things that could be changed and how to get the grants to do so.

Some of the suggestions made were: enforcing lower floor residents to clean up trash and make

the sidewalk clear; repainting businesses; fill vacant buildings; widow and sign displays; placing trash dispensers on the square; and fixing broken windows. The IEDA Team would also like to see Sigourney show more of the Historical side of the community. “Sigourney has many hidden gems, and you should play off of the historical side by doing tours, and maybe opening up a theater in Memorial Hall. A USDA grant could get something back into that building,” said IEDA member Tim Reinders.

The IEDA team did give good feedback while on this visit. They were impressed with the new street lamps being installed, the new City Park, restoration of the fountain and how certain businesses displayed themselves. Before leaving, the team gave information on how to obtain a grant that could give up to $500,000 to redo the square.

City Council Meeting

Allison Glandon NR Editor The Sigourney City Council held a meeting Wednesday, May 6 at City Hall on the square in Sigourney. With a full agenda, The Council started with Dr. Tony Vanden Bush and his request to continue his venture in opening VBJ LLC at 1400 N. Cherry St. in Sigourney. This property would allow light manufacturing of infused alcoholic beverages. This business would include bottling, mixing and storing these beverages. The Council agreed that if Dr.Vanden Bush gets approval from the state and the site of his business passes inspection, they will support this new business in the community.

The Council agreed to put in a ramp at Memorial Hall to make the building more accessible.

Michael and Trudy Welter of 315 N. Jefferson St. in Sigourney are granting their property to be used for the new ramp.

The community will see changes in the Fourth of July festivities this year. The Council is donating $3,000 to the July Fourth Committee and have made changes to the past years activities agenda. This year’s activities will be held at the EXPO Fairgrounds instead of Legion Park, where it has been held in the past. Some things you can expect to see at the EXPO are: food vendors, bands, beer tents, luncheons, inflatables and much more. There will be a fee at the gate, in hopes that in the next few years this celebration will be self-supporting.

Lastly, The Council spoke with Don Northup about changes needed at the Sigourney Pool.

Northup and The Council discussed the need for a new floor in the bathhouses after this pool season. The floors are slick and need new paint.

Putting in rubber mats is a temporary fix for this season. Northup also asked The Council for approval of purchasing a new PA and radio system.

The new system is all in one, and will be more user friendly for the Pool Staff. The new PA and radio system is estimated at $1,000.

On the Hill with Klein

By State Representative Jarad Klein This week was supposed to be our last week, but as with the past we are going to go a couple weeks overtime.

This week’s letter is a little late since I went back and changed my subject.

I was originally going to discuss our budget targets, instead I am going to focus in on a developing emergency.

On Monday, April 27, 2015, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) issued a press release that authorities are responding to five probable cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in commercial poultry farms in Osceola, O’Brien and Sioux Counties in Northwest Iowa. These five new cases join three confirmed cases of the disease in Iowa. State officials have quarantined the premises and if the initial tests are confirmed, all birds on the property will be humanely euthanized to prevent the spread of the disease. Also on Monday, Iowa Agriculture Secretary Northey appeared before the House Appropriation Committee to describe this outbreak and what additional state financial resources are being used by the state/IDALS in this investigation and eradication and clean-up effort.

Also discussed were what additional funds might be needed in this effort.

Monday’s press release describe generally the location and type of poultry farm involved and what the status is for the specific farm.

The five farms identified Monday are in addition to the three farms acknowledged last week with breaking with this animal contagion and

the Secretary in his comments to the Committee appraised it of Monday’s press release that was issued after the Secretary’s meeting with the House Appropriation Committee. As I write this letter, additional cases are being confirmed with no real end in sight.

The Secretary and the press release noted that Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Iowa Department of Public Health considers the risk to people from these HPAI H5 infections in wild birds, backyard flocks and commercial poultry, to be low. No human infections with the virus have ever been detected there is no food safety risk for consumers.

The United States has the strongest Avian Influenza (AI) surveillance program in the world. As part of the existing USDA avian influenza response plans, Federal and State partners as well as industry are responding quickly and decisively to these outbreaks by following these five basic steps: 1) Quarantine – restricting movement of poultry and poultry-moving equipment into and out of the control area; 2) Eradicate – humanely euthanizing the affected flock(s); 3) Monitor region – testing wild and domestic birds in a broad area around the quarantine area; 4) Disinfect – kills the virus in the affected flock locations; and 5) Test – confirm that poultry farms in the area are free of the virus.

While prior press releases and articles have reported that these virus strains can travel in wild birds without those birds appearing sick,

professional development leaders will be crucial to student success. Tri-County has worked diligently to prepare students to be able to have a successful future, post high school.

A Minnesota news story published also on Monday from the University of Minnesota Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at http://www.cidrap.umn. edu/news-perspective/2015/04/avianflu-hits-more-farms-iowa-minnesota reported that in the Minnesota there is no evidence of the disease in wild birds sampled in that area. According to the CIDRAP article-- “Although officials believe the H5N2 virus was brought to the Midwest by wild birds, a wide-ranging sampling program in Minnesota has failed to find any wild birds infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) so far, according to Michelle Carstensen, PhD, wildlife health program supervisor for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR).

IDALS is cooperating in partnership with the Iowa Department of Public Health are working directly with poultry workers at the affected facility to ensure proper precautions are being taken. People should avoid contact with sick/dead poultry or wildlife. If contact occurs, wash your hands with soap and water and change clothing before having any contact with healthy domestic poultry and birds. The IDALS press release advised that all bird owners, whether commercial producers or backyard flock owners, should continue to practice good biosecurity, prevent contact between their birds and wild birds, and report sick birds or unusual bird deaths to state/federal officials, either through their state veterinarian at 515-281-5321 or through USDA’s toll-free number at 1-866-5367593. Information will also be posted to the IDALS’ website at www.iowaagriculture.gov/avianinfluenza.asp.

I anticipate this issue to require some sort of appropriation, however much like the disease itself much is still unknown. I will be watching this closely and doing what I can to work with the different departments to ensure we are responding accordingly.

Next week we will continue finalizing our budgets and any last minute policies we need to address. While it may be late in session I still want to hear from you. Be sure to continue to contact me with any further issues or concerns you may have. My email is jarad.klein@legis.iowa.gov and my cell phone number is 515-689-5430. In order to insure that I respond to the great people of House District 78 first, please include your address.

He is survived by his significant other Judy Lewis, mother Virginia Orman, daughter Jessica McNally (Brien), granddaughter Evaleene McNally, and brother Christian Orman. A celebration of Larry’s life will be Thursday, May 14 from 5pm to 8pm at The American Legion, 3016 Muscatine Ave, Iowa City.

Nettie Wanda Fisher Long time resident of the What Cheer area, Nettie Wanda Fisher, age 97, died

December 16, 2014, at Manor House care Center in Sigourney where she had resided since December 2002.

Nettie was born November 23, 1917 in Tilton to Cloyd Clover and Amy (Rose) Fisher. She was the third of nine siblings and is survived by four of them. Surviving siblings include: sisters Neva Ewald of Sigourney, Norma Alpers of Gibson, and Sharon (Russell) Fogle of Cedar Rapids and brother Cloyd Fisher, Jr. (Mabel) of Sigourney. Brotherin-law Marion Hymes of Marion, 23 nieces and nephews, as well as great nieces and nephews, colleagues and former students also survive her.

Nettie attended school in Tilton to begin with but eventually went on to Gibson where she graduated in 1936. She had moved there with her parents and siblings to a farm east of What Cheer where she helped with housekeeping and other domestic work when a neighbor had a baby. She and her sister Neva harvested corn by hand for 5 cents a bushel while the wagon was pulled by a team of horses.

She also worked briefly as a file clerk in an insurance office in Des Moines but returned to her Keokuk County roots on the family farm shortly after. In 1947, Nettie enrolled in summer school at William Penn College and began teaching in a rural school by fall. She juggled teaching and enrollment in night classes, summer school, and Saturday classes for 12 years, graduating with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from William Penn College. When the rural schools closed down she pressed on with educating, teaching in Rose Hill and then in Oskaloosa, where she taught until her well-deserved retirement in 1984.

During the years following her retirement, she purchased and made her home on the family farm. She enjoyed gardening, crocheting, sewing and cooking. She loved raising chickens and Arabian horses. She also made an Arabian costume that was worn during some of the horse shows.

Nettie will be remembered as a loving aunt who often welcomed the “clan” for various family gatherings such as the annual “Ice Cream Bash.” She especially liked to have the family over when sorghum making time rolled around in the fall. The family would come together to strip, cut, and press cane and cook sorghum. In addition, uncles, aunts, cousins and acquaintances alike would gather to celebrate the harvest that was an annual event for years. Nettie was known to always have “sweets” on hand such as cookies, candy, cakes, or pies. Deviled eggs were almost considered Nettie’s signature food on many special occasions.

Nettie is predeceased by parents Cloyd and Amy, an infant brother, siblings and their spouses; Velta and Harold (Chuck) McBride, Virgil and Juanita Fisher, sister Dorthy Hymes and brothers-in-law Ray Ewald and Virgel Alpers as well as nephews Jerry McBride, LeRoy Ewald and niece Dr. Betty Fisher.

Nettie may be gone but she will not be forgotten. A memorial service is planned for Saturday, May 16, at 10 a.m. at the Gibson Presbyterian Church, located on the corner of G-13 and V-21 in Gibson. Following the service, there will be a time of fellowship and remembrance at the church before the inurnment at Sixteen Cemetery near Thornburg.

Evelyn Mary Bohrofen Evelyn Mary Bohrofen was born March 20, 1920 in Morning Sun, the daughter of Oscar and Ola (Harris) Baird. She graduated from Morning Sun High School and received cosmetology training. She lived in California for a couple of years and then moved to Keota in the early 1940’s. On January 21, 1945 Evelyn was united in marriage to Dennis Bohrofen at St. Mary Catholic Church in Keota. She worked as a beautician for 35 years, and ran Evelyn’s Beauty Shop in Keota for many years, retiring in 1973. In 1996 Evelyn and Dennis moved to Wellman. She was a past member of TTT. She enjoyed spending time with her family, boating, being on the water, and she loved her cats. Evelyn died on Friday, May 8, 2015 at Windmill Manor in Coralville at the age of 95 years.

Evelyn is survived by a son Monte Bohrofen and wife Judy of Clive; a daughter Tracy Bohrofen and husband Kent Behrens of Omaha, Neb.; and a sister Marian Haney of Mediapolis. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Dennis, and a sister Leora Jackson.

A private graveside service will be at a later date in the St Mary Cemetery in Keota. The Powell Funeral Home in Wellman is in charge of the arrangements.

Sande, Ehret Recognized by Governor for Academic Excellence From the Iowa High School Athletic Association Emiliy Sande and Dalton Ehret were recognized by Governor Branstad for outstanding academic achievement at the Thirteenth Annual Governor’s Scholar Recognition Ceremony on April 26 at Hyvee Hall in Des Moines. Sande is a student at Sigourney Junior/Senior High School, and Dalton Ehret is a student at Tri-County High School.

The statewide program, sponsored by the Iowa Governor’s Office, Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) and the title sponsor Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF), honored 436 high school seniors from across Iowa.

“Iowa Farm Bureau members believe that by investing in our youth and communities, we’re investing in the future of Iowa,” said IFBF President Craig Hill.

“We are so proud to honor such exceptional students and proud to be a leading contributor to educational programs and annual scholarships for our youth.”

Each high school was invited to select their senior student or students with the highest academic ranking, based on grade point average for their first seven semesters. Students that were selected for the award also had the opportunity to recognize their favorite or most influential teacher and will receive a photo plaque of their meeting with Gov. Branstad.

“The principles learned through academic success, like those learned from participation in education-based activities, help develop outstanding leaders and citizens,” said IHSAA Executive Director Alan Beste.

98 percent of students recognized also participate in extra-curricular school activities, with more than 80 percent participating in at least one interscholastic sport. Nearly 60 percent of the group plans to continue their education in Iowa.

Happy Birthday Granny Gayle!!

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure In December the Susan G. Komen–Iowa organization based in Des Moines and the Susan G. Komen of Southeast Iowa organization joined forces bringing together the strengths and assets of both groups.

Gayla Harrison, a recent board president of Komen Southeast Iowa, notes this will “allow volunteers to focus on the most important aspect of our work; translating the generosity of the people of southeast Iowa into funds for programs that will save lives and end breast cancer forever.”

Having administrative support from Komen Iowa allows local volunteers to focus on raising the funds to help end this disease that affects millions of people. Susan G Komen is the world’s largest breast cancer organization and since its inception has funded over $847 million dollars in research and 1.8 billion dollars for screening, education, treatment and

psychosocial support for people affected by this disease.

Komen–Southeast Iowa has been actively raising funds each year by organizing the local Race for the Cure and other events. These funds from and used across a ten county area in southeast Iowa have helped women obtain mammography and other support services for those affected by breast cancer. These are friends, neighbors and family. Komen-Iowa has funded over $5 million dollars for community breast cancer programs in a 91 county service area in Iowa. One of the major grant recipients has been the Iowa Department of Public Health – “Breast Cancer Screening for Iowa’s Underserved, Low-Income Women”. This program alone has provided screening and diagnostic services to over 680 women providing access to mammography and other diagnostic services that

would otherwise be unavailable to them. Given the unusually high rates of breast cancer in southeast Iowa being able to provide this type of service is of particular importance.

So after a year’s hiatus, Race for the Cure will be back in Ottumwa in 2015 on May 9 at Greater Ottumwa Park! Veteran volunteers and new ones are preparing again to host this well-known event. It will include a timed 5-K race, a non-competitive 5-K Run/Walk, a 1 mile Fun Run/ Walk and a Kids Fun Run. An event will be held to honor local survivors, as well as hosting a Survivor luncheon in October in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness

month.

A new concept this year for this event will be encouraging teams to fund raise above and beyond their entry fees. There will be an online registration through the Komen organization which allows for teams to raise funds and to compete with other teams in fund raising. You will be able to track your team’s progress on-line. There will be team prizes in various categories to add to friendly rivalry.

• SGL - Single Sample Result • TCR - Total Coliform Rule GENERAL INFORMATION Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water posed a health risk. More information about contaminants or potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-4264791).

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly,

and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.

EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-4264791).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. WHAT CHEER WATER SUPPLY is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested.

Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline~or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Rusty Zook of the Hedrick Ball Team Board addressed the Council about a situation that happened in the past where a parent had been banned from the ball fields. This parent has been paying restitution according to a court ruling and has been attending games at the ball fields and staying in the vehicle.

It would be noted that the properties with dilapidated houses on them could be purchased with a ninety (90) day time limit to have the structure removed. Mefford seconded.

All ayes, with Cernic abstaining. Motion carried.

La Verne Cavin, President of the Carl Craft Civic Center Commission, updated the Council on the Civic Center. Brunches are continuing to be held with good attendance and they plan on purchasing a lift to change lights, etc. from Duane McBeth. There was a concern about scratches on the gym floor and he is looking into ways to repair those.

A conference call via cell phone was held with Keokuk County Sheriff, Casey Hinnah regarding vicious animals in the City. The concern was enforcing the ordinances. Aimee Crow had been to several meetings about this. Sheriff Hinnah stated that they would respond as soon as possible to any vicious animal complaints. The City Attorney stated that a municipal infraction could be filed against someone with a vicious animal.

A citizen had come to City Hall and was concerned about the speed limit of 45 mph going through the City when the new Dollar General store is finished. The citizen asked about a reduction in speed due to the turning traffic on the highway with the new store. Bunnell made a motion to contact the Department of Transportation to see about the procedure to get this changed. Mefford seconded. Roll call – all ayes.

Motion carried.

Greiner made a motion to approve the Investment Policy for the City of Hedrick. Bunnell seconded. Roll call – all ayes. Motion carried.

Dustin Crawford, Public Works Director, told the Council about a recent visit from the DNR at the Water Plant.

He also told them about his need for a computer to do the water report each month.

Shawn McBeth addressed the Council during Public Comment. He asked about the possibility of having golf carts being legal to drive on city streets. This will be looked into further.

Greiner made a motion to adjourn at 10:05 p.m. Greiner seconded. Roll call – all ayes. Motion carried.

Keokuk County Society News Tales of the Ancient Sportsman

By Burdell Hensley

I love this time of year. It is so nice to throw open the windows and let the breeze pass through the house.

The spring flowers are giving way to the summer plants and the Iris in front of my house is stunning. The Peonies should be here soon and in some cases may already be here. And I love it when I can drive through the countryside and see the rows of new corn emerging.

I went down to Fremont Friday to have Rob fix my bad hair. I noticed some fine fields of new corn on the Cedar flats and between Cedar and Fremont. Now the attention can turn to beans and that planting will be in full swing soon.

I was in Kansas City for the first four days of the week for the Missouri Travel Exchange. It was nice to see old friends there and it was a good conference. We did a couple of site inspection tours and I did find them interesting. Most any conference I attend offers something new and different and this one was no exception.

I made my own Sushi roll. The making of it was rather easy, but then we had the two rolls we made for lunch.

I was not impressed and only ate less than half of it. One of the rolls contained crab meat, avocado slices and a cucumber stick. You finished it off by sprinkling sesame seed all over it and dipping it in soy sauce. The second contained spiced tuna and a cucumber stick. They could not convince me that the tuna was not raw. I have cleaned enough fish in my day to know what raw fish looks like. We were given a green spread to doctor it up a little. I ask what it was and I couldn’t spell it or pronounce it, so I tried it anyway. ZOWIE! It was the strongest horseradish I ever tasted.

My eyes watered, my nose ran and my sinuses were open. Needless to say, I will not be making many visits to a Sushi place. Although I may take a group there some time. It would be an unforgettable experience for my

travelers.

Another new experience was taking a stagecoach ride at Mahaffey Farms and stagecoach stop. I can’t imagine riding several hundred miles in one of those things, but I have rode school buses that were not a whole lot different. My travel group is quite adventurous and in Lynchburg, VA on the last tour they had a neat experience. I took them snow tubing on Liberty Mountain, which is a part of Liberty University.

It is not snow, but the whole side of the mountain is covered with a white synthetic surface. The surface is kept slightly damp and it is slick. The evening we were there folks were skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing. Our folks started on the bunny hill, but it wasn’t long before they decided that they were ready for the big hill. The lift took them up to the top of the big hill and they would rocket down something like a bobsled track. You could get lots of speed on that track and you would end up on a ledge where help was standing ready to catch you. If you really got it going you would shoot into a foam barrier.

Who said old folks can’t have fun?

We certainly did.

Saturday we went over to Griswold for a graduation party for Kasi Amos, a granddaughter of my sister.

The Ancient-ess announced that she needed to stop in Valley Junction at the scrapbooking store. The bad news was that they didn’t have everything she needed. Oh no! That meant that Hobby Lobby was the next stop. She didn’t get exactly what she wanted, but she was able to cover her needs.

The farmers in western Iowa are behind us quite a bit. They have a lot of corn not in the ground yet. One of my buddies told me that he would be just about ready to plant and another rain would come. They haven’t had a lot of rain, but just enough to keep them out of the field.

Sunday we attended the senior recognition service at the Presbyterian

Church and Logan was one of the 17 seniors. We attended the early service at our church and that gave us time to be there. They had a nice service to honor the seniors and it was good to see several old friends and travelers there.

The spring sports season is quickly drawing to a close. Most conference meets have been held and this week it is the district meets on Thursday.

By next week we will know who has qualified for the big show on the blue track in Drake Stadium. And we do have several area kids who should make the show.

Next on the docket is high school baseball and softball. That means we will soon be sitting in lawn chairs swatting bugs and keeping an eye on the weather.

Let’s take a glance over our shoulder and see what happened in our yesterday. 100 years ago: May 10, 1915- The Oskaloosa Braves made their debut into the amateur baseball circles by forcing a fast Avery team to go 12 innings to beat them 7-6. Hatchitt and Kemp each had two hits for the Braves. May 12- Two Eddyville boys earned medals at the Tri-State track meet in Fairfield. Paul Thayer took the bronze in the 440 dash and Alfred Keller won a bronze in the hurdle race.

75 years ago: May 10, 1940- Cedar beat Conrad 5-4 in the district tourney in Marshalltown. Ralph Scharff pitched the win and Raymond Towns poked a pair of hits. May 11- What Cheer advances in district play with a 6-2 win over Urbana while Cedar dropped a 6-2 decision to Hudson.

May 12- What Cheer falls to Manchester 10–8. Wilcox had three hits for What Cheer and Armstrong belted a triple and a single. May 14- New Sharon nipped Lacey 1-0 behind the one hit pitching of Jack Stanley. Ken DeWitt tossed a two-hitter for Lacey, but Keith Miller singled and scored on an error for the win. May 15- Rose Hill’s John Hart doubled with two out in the bottom of the seventh to

Ponderings of the Heart Jane Green Larson Have you ever noticed how often our prayers are answered through other people? Early one Sunday morning before getting dressed for Church I noticed my heart seemed heavy. I could not actually tell you what it was but I woke up early to many thoughts running through my mind of my son, Joe, who passed away two years ago and I felt “down” in my spirits. We’ve all had these things happen to us, but I wondered why such things were running through my mind this day. I had experienced an extremely blessed week. I also recalled no one had mentioned Joe’s name recently and this particular morning I missed him - his voice, his face, and other thoughts of him would not go away.

Upon my arrival to the Church, I immediately put my Sunday School papers out for the children and my music on the organ - the same thing I do every Sunday morning.

I sang the opening song to Sunday School with the adults and children and still lacked the joy I need-

ed to be a teacher of the gospel!

However, the Sunday School class with the children went very well.

We talked of the love that Jesus has for each one of us and how God was willing one day to ask Jesus to come to earth to save us from our sins. We rejoiced at the thought that Jesus loved us so much that he actually laid down his life for us.

After the class ended, I hurried off to my seat at the organ, the prelude was played, prayers were said, and congregational singing was uplifting but still a lingering sadness surrounded me.

When it came time for the sermon, I thought to myself, “I must listen intently today and receive from the Lord his message” as I definitely needed my heart lifted. As my husband took his place behind the pulpit, I found a seat in the congregation and one of the little girls from my Sunday School class slipped into the seat beside me. We smiled at each other and as my husband preached, she whispered, “Jane, could I ask you a question?” I whispered back,

“Sure.” She looked up into my face and asked, “Jane, someone told me you lost your son, how did you lose him?” For a second, I was lost in thoughts of her question. I knew this was a time that a serious answer was necessary. So, I quickly whispered back quietly in her ear and with a smile, “Oh, I did not lose him, honey, but one day Jesus came for him and my son had been waiting for him a long time and he was glad to see him and go with him. My son is in heaven now and I am going to see him one day!”

It seems saying those words, my heart was completely lifted at my own answer.

Now, I can’t quote my husband’s sermon, but at the end of it, he announced, let’s turn to the song, “Face to Face with Jesus.” I stepped to the organ and confidently played and sang the song. There is surely coming a day when all our troubles and our heartaches will be over! Truly, Jesus is the lifter up of our heads and our hearts! May God richly bless you this day. See you next week, the same place!

The other day I was thinking about how some words are spelled quite differently than how they sound. In thinking of this, I remembered having some examples on paper; then while looking for something else, I found the paper.

I am certain you know of other words to add to the following.

Coffee- a person who is coughed upon Counterfeiters- workers who put together kitchen cabinets Control- a shot, ugly inmate Eclipse- what an English barber does for a living Frisbeetarianism- the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck there

Gargoyle- an olive flavored mouthwash Heroes- what a guy in a boat does Lymph-to walk with a lisp Misty- how golfers create divots Negligent- describes a condition in which you absent-mindedly answer the door in your nightgown Paradox- a pair of physicians Parasites- what you see from the top of the Eiffel Tower Pharmacist- a helper on the farm Polarize- what penguins see with Primate- removing your spouse from in front of the TV Relief- what trees do in the spring Rubberneck- What you do to relax your wife Selfish- what the owner of a seafood store does

Sudafed- brought litigation against a government Official.

Deep River News Janet Rauch Tuesday Ellen Zimmerman and I went to North English Nursing Home for Rhythm Band. We visited with some of the residents before we left. Lori Wolf ’s mother was getting a perm, but we got to visit with her before we left.

Pastor Michelle Williamson gave the sermon at Deep River United Church. She is feeling better and said the sale went over well in spite of the rain. They put things at 1/2 price before noon so they didn’t have much left over.

Joe Morrow, son of Woodrow Morrow, formerly of Deep River passed away in Indiana at 70 years of age. His funeral was held at Burlington. His father Woody and his brother Ollie owned the hatchery next to the cafe in Deep River. Woody’s daughter, Delores, was in my class at Deep River and a best friend. When we moved to Wapello I was really upset at losing her. She had a younger sister, Frances and an older one, Shirley, they lived in the Lois Evan’s house across from the DX Station.

Thursday Pam Flanders and I went to Pella and took her little grandson Jordan. His mother, Jennifer, wanted pictures of him with the tulips. We went to the Christian Thrift Store and one other where I got some bargains. Pam got some outside toys for Jordan, who will be three in August and is very smart and polite.

I stopped at my daughter Shelby Kurk’s before we left for Pella to see if she would help me pick a plant to give to a friend, as my green thumb isn’t too green! She is so good with flowers and plants.

Once my Grandmother Meme left to go see her son for a few days and left me in charge of her plants. People couldn’t believe they were still alive when she came home! I said

she didn’t stay long enough! Ha Ha Ellen Zimmerman’s brother and wife came to visit Friday morning to visit. Ellen went to a meeting in the morning. She has been taking food to the men in the field, they have been busy with field work.

With the What Cheer Flea Market going on the roads have been busy. There are usually lots of yard sales also. I went to Amy Armstrong’s Saturday morning. She had several from the flea market come.

Friday my daughter, Shelby, and I went to Grinnell to shop.

Crash data shows that passenger vehicle occupants are buckling up more during the day than at nighttime. This mobilization across Iowa and the entire United States is created to heighten seat belt enforcement 24-7, but focused enforcement efforts will take place between the nighttime hours of 6 p.m. and 5:59 a.m. due to the significant number of violators and fatal crashes during this time.

Over the last ten years, Iowa has averaged 5.3 traffic fatalities during the three-day Memorial Day weekend. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration nearly half of the 21,132 passenger vehicle occupants who were killed on our nation’s

roadways in 2013 were not wearing seat belts. That number jumped to 67 percent for males aged 13 – 15.

Buckling up in the back seat is just as important. Half of all front-seat occupants killed in crashes in 2012 were unrestrained but 61 percent of those killed in back seats were unrestrained. Keep in mind that those fatalities aren’t just statistics; they are someone’s family member or friend.

The Iowa Department of Public Safety and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau want you to remember that the single most effective way to reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes is to wear a seat belt every day, every trip!

EmilyBy Elise Sande Taylor Albaugh

Emily Elise Sande is the daughter of Curtis and Jill Sande and older sister to Samantha. Some of the things you will find Emily doing here at SHS are: digging a spike on the volleyball court, shooting threes on the basketball court, and shooting down clays in trapshooting. Along with sports, Emily has participated in National Honor Society, FCCLA, PBIS, band, and enjoys going to youth group at the Sigourney United Methodist Church.

A few of Emily’s nicknames are Em, Sando, and Sande. Some of Emily’s favorite bands include Justin Moore, Randy Houser, Luke Bryan, and Jason Aldean. Emily’s favorite childhood memory is going camping with her family to Yellowstone National Park every summer. Her favorite high school memory was creating and being apart of the skits for Boom Night.

Emily doesn’t like when people chew and talk with their mouth full. Emily’s advice for underclassmen is, “Nothing we do changes the past - everything we do changes the future so cherish yesterday; live today; and reach for tomorrow.” The number one thing on Emily’s bucket list is to travel the world.

After graduation Emily plans to attend South Dakota School of Mines and Technology for a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Biological Sciences and a Master’s in Biomedical Engineering.

Abdul Ghani Ibrahim Jammal

By Mallory Shaw

This week’s senior spotlight is Abdul Ghani Ibrahim Jammal, also known as AJ, Hot Chocolate, or Apple Juice. He is the son of Trisha Kerkove and brother to Rame Jammal and Ronya Black. His favorite childhood memory is when he fell asleep in the living room and teleported into his bed later that night.

AJ has been in yearbook this year and says his favorite high school memory is the time he got his camel over 60mph!

AJ’s number one pet peeve is having things change because change isn’t for him, and he leaves this advise to the underclassman to not wear hats in school! After graduation AJ hopes to move on with his gaming career and to one day travel to new places to experience other people’s life styles. His favorite quote comes from Carl Sandburg, “I’m an idealist. I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m on my way.”

Adam Lee Gragg

by Peyton Crawford

Adam Lee Gragg is the son of Mickey and Connie Gragg, and the younger brother to Amanda, Tamara, DJ, and Sara. Adam’s high school activity is baseball, where he plays third base and on the occasion, pitches for the varsity team. Adam, or as some like to call him, “Addy”, loves the song “Savin” Me”

by Nickelback. He has many childhood memories, but his most fond memory has to be the time when he “drop” kicked his brother off of their moped because he wasn’t sharing.

Adam’s favorite high school memory was last summer when the baseball team got to play at Principal Park against Pleasantville. One thing that “Addy” can’t stand is lying; lying because in the words of Adam, “It gets you nowhere in life”. Some wise advise that he would like to pass on to underclassmen is to enjoy school while you can; it goes by fast, and you only go through high school once. Something that is on Adam’s bucket list, and that he can’t wait to do, is take a vacation to Hawaii. After graduation, he plans to play his final season of baseball and then get a job. Adam Lee Gragg’s Senior Spotlight would not be complete without his favorite quote though, and that is: “Failure is not an option, everyone has to succeed.”

Jordan Elizabeth Carter By: Emily Sande

Jordan Elizabeth Carter is the daughter of Natches and Chris Carter and the older sister to Leah. Jordan has been very active during her high school career. Her most common nickname is “Jay” and her favorite band is Florida Georgia Line. During the school year you can find her participating in volleyball, basketball, track, softball, band, PBIS, FFA, LEAP Leadership, and the Sigourney United Methodist Youth Group. Among the many favorite memories, Jordan’s favorite childhood memory is when her and Leah practiced for the greased pig contest. They would put their cats into a cooler and then shake it up . From there, they let the cat go and chased it as it ran around the farm. They caught the cats by their back legs and returned them to the cooler.

They won the contest on the Fourth of July six years in a row! Her favorite high school memory was her 2014 mission trip to Puerto Rico.

Jordan’s number one pet peeve is when people don’t use the talent they are given. Her advice for underclassmen is, “Cherish every moment because it goes by in the blink of an eye.” Jordan’s bucket list may be long, but one specific thing is go go back to Puerto Rico. She wants to see if everything she did on her mission trip in 2014 has changed. She also wants to see all of her Puerto Rico friends she met during her trip. After graduation, Jordan plans to attend Marshalltown Community College and then transfer to Coe College to obtain a degree in Elementary Eduction. With this Elementary Education major, she also wants to minor in Special Education. During her college experience, Jordan will be playing volleyball. Jordan’s favorite quote is, “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.”

His favorite high school memory is when he danced in front of the entire student body in cheerleading uniforms with his friend Bryce. His number pet peeve is when his shoes come untied because he has to stop and take the time to retie them. His advice to the underclassmen is “Don’t take high school for granted. These are the easiest and best four years of your life..so far.”

One thing on his bucket list is to see the Flavian Amphitheater in Rome, Italy. Colby’s plans after high school are to attend Iowa Central Community College for 2 years, majoring in athletic training, then attending UNI to finish his schooling for his masters degree.

Throughout the halls, you can hear his fellow students calling him by his nickname, “Cole”. When it comes to music, Cole’s favorite bands are Rise Against and Five Finger Death Punch.

Of all his childhood memories, wrecking his bike and puking at Bryce Brown’s birthday party are two of his favorites! During high school, Cole’s favorite memory was the entire football experience.

His number one pet peeve is when people act immature for no reason. It bothers him because it makes other people look immature even if they aren’t doing any dumb stuff. His advice to the underclassmen is “ Be yourself, and don’t be afraid of upperclassmen. Work as hard as you can and be the best that you can be. It is seriously the best four years of your life so far. So go out all out and enjoy it!”

J.C.‘s favorite childhood memory was going to the Monticello County Fair with his brother and a few other friends for a concert. His favorite high school memory was competing in state FFA contests his sophomore year. The team received 5th place out of 18 teams in the state of Iowa. The thing that irritates JC the most is when someone breaks something of yours, and does not tell you.

His advise for underclassmen is to enjoy high school while it lasts because it will be over before you know it. J.C. really wants to become a successful farmer as he gets older and more experienced at it. J.C. is planning to attend Indian Hills for machine technology. His favorite quote is ’’This lifestyle isn’t just about animals it’s about beliefs and values passed down through generations.

Sigourney Girls Highlight Successes at SICLs

Gwynne Wright blows away the competition in the 800

Ahead of the Rest

By Adam Meier Regional Sports Editor The Pekin girls’ varsity track and field team won its ninth-straight conference title last Thursday, and it was even close.

The Panthers outscored second-place Mediapolis by a 64-point margin and finished first in nine separate events.

Claiming first in three of those events was junior Gwynne Wright.

Wright won the 800 (2:30), 1,500 (5:10) and 3,000 (11:25), and is

poised for yet another great showing at State next week.

Wright was also part of Pekin’s first-place distance medley crew, which consisted of Kaylee Linder, Sloan Reighard and Shea Dahlstrom, and clocked in at 4:29.

The Panthers also took gold in the 4x100 (Mallory Reed, Reighard, Courtney Comstock, Linder) and 4x800 (Reighard, Dahlstrom, Payton Lock, Mackenzie Martin), and got a second-place finish from Payton Lock in the 3,000.

Linder and Reed also earned individual first-place finishes on Thursday, with Linder winning the 100 and Reed winning the 100meter hurdles.

Junior Shelbie Williams broke 40 feet, yet again, in the shot put, winning it with a mark of 40’4.5’’, while Bridget Fritchen finished fifth in the discus with a season-best throw of 106’7’’.

Beth Atwood and Kaysha Dodson finished second and fourth, respectively in the high jump on

Chelsea Lanphier and McKenna Gambell in Payton Lock in the 4x800 the open 400

Thursday, and Chelsea Lanphier clocked in at 1:07 to place fourth in the 400.

The Panthers also got a third-place finish from Taylor Lock in the 1,500 and a fifth-place finish from Martin in the 800.

Next, the Panthers will head to WACO on Thursday, for the State-Qualifying Meet. Field events are scheduled to start at 4pm and running will begin at 4:30.

Kaylee Linder to Sloan Reighard in the distance medley

By Adam Meier Regional Sports Editor The Sigourney girls’ track and field squad captured the only two conference titles of any area team a last Tuesday’s South Iowa Cedar League in Belle Plaine.

After a 30-minute lightning delay, the Savages got things going in the shuttle hurdle relay. After placing fourth a last year’s conference meet, the Savages improved on their time an won gold this time around.

The crew of Allison Schroeder, Leah Carter, Sarina Gretter and Autum Barthelman ran a time of 1:11.75 to win it.

“I think from how we did last year, we were really hoping to win it this year,” said Sigourney’s Allison Schroeder. “We knew that Autum could take Becca [Ohland’s]spot and that each of us would have to step up a little bit.”

“We’ve improved tremendously from the start of the year,” added Leah Carter. “We’ve put in a lot of work to get here.”

The team’s second gold medal was won shortly thereafter, when Barthelman edged Belle Plaine’s Shannon Murray in the 100-meter hurdles.

“It feels great!” Barthelman said after the race. “I could feel [Belle Plaine’s Murray] right on my tail the whole time. I knew I had to keep pushing the whole way through.”

Kingland’s Crew Takes It All

By Adam Meier Regional Sports Editor Cold, windy conditions made for an intriguing day of golf on Monday at the South Iowa Cedar League Meet in North English.

Despite the subpar conditions, the host English Valleys Bears made the most of their home-course advantage and cruised to a 16-stroke win over second-place BGM, earning themselves a conference championship.

EV’s top four golfers each shot under 90, through 18 holes, to finish with a team tally of 345.

Coach Jeff Kingland’s Bears were led by junior Andrew Kerkove, who tied for fourth overall with a score of 84, while Brennen Grimm finished at 85. Seniors Davis Axmear and Adam Kerkove rounded out EV’s top four, with Axmear shooting an 87 and Kerkove shooting an 89.

The Sigourney Savages also turned in a solid performance at Knoll Ridge, placing fourth as a team.

Sophomore Kaden Bensen was better than anyone on Monday, shooting a very impressive 79 and winning himself the title of Confer-

ence Champion. Bensen finished one stroke ahead of BGM’s Keaton Rhinehart and two strokes ahead of Lynnville-Sully’s Ben Trettin.

Cole Streigle tied for 12th with an 89, and Jordan Albert finished 17th at 91. Tanner Halleran shot a 110 for the Savages, rounding out Sigourney’s team tally at 369.

Coming in fifth-place as a team was coach Rod Hill’s Keota Eagles.

The Eagles, who were led with a 15th-place finish and score of 90 by senior John Mather, finished with a team score of 373.

SICL Action Takes Place at Belle Plaine

By Adam Meier Regional Sports Editor You could see it coming. When 4:30 rolled around last Tuesday, a storm coming from the south was already rolling in. By 5:30, during the long jump and 3,200-meter run, it was absolutely pouring. It wasn’t until a minute later, when lightning struck nearby, that the SICL track and field teams were ordered off the track for a 30-minute delay. After the mandatory delay, it was host Belle Plaine that stormed to a conference championship.

The Plainesmen tallied 136 points – 15 more than second-place Montezuma.

Our four area boys’ squads were led by Sigourney, who finished seventh with 49 points. Keota placed eighth with 38 points, while English Valleys placed tenth (7.5 points) and Tri-County placed 11th (6 points).

While there were no conference champions among the four area teams, there was a slew of top-five finishes.

Sigourney’s Avery Moore matched the top finish of any other area boy at SICLs, finishing third in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:00.03.

The Savages also got a fourth-place finish from Peyton Crawford in both the shot put (41’11’’) and discus (114’7’’), while Will Magill placed fourth in the 110 high hurdles (18.06 seconds) and Moore finished fifth in the long jump (17’8’’).

Sigourney also got sixth-place finishes from Jordan Albert in the 100 and from Tyler Crawford in the 1,600.

Sigourney’s best relay finish came in the 4x100, when Blane Long, Moore, Bryce Goldman and Albert

clocked in at 47.03 seconds and placed fourth. Those same four also finished fifth in the 4x200.

Keota was led by its formidable sprinting duo of Ben Horras and Nate Sieren. Horras finished third in both the 100 (11.48) and 200 (23.27), while Sieren got fourth in the 200 (23.68) and fifth in the 100 (11.64).

Horras and Sieren, along with Jacob Wickencamp and Luke Greiner, helped the Eagles notch a pair of topfive finishes in sprint relay events, as well. Keota’s 4x200 placed third with a time of 1:37.8, before its 4x100 finished fifth (47.48).

Coach Larry Lyle’s squad also got a fifth-place finish from Turner Klein in the 3,200 (11:09) and an eighthplace finish from Zach Mousel in the long jump (17’3.75’’).

English Valleys notched a fourthplace finish from Kellan Coppinger in the long jump (17’8.75’’) and a sixth-place finish from him in the high jump (5’6’’).

Tri-County’s best result at SICLs came in the distance medley relay, when Dalton Ehret, Cameron Krumm, Walter McKay and Jacob Bombei combined to run a time of 4:10 and finished fourth. Those same four also combined to place eighth in the 4x200.

Luke Bombei managed a ninthplace finish in the discus (98’8’’) and Ehret placed tenth in the long jump (17’0.75’’).

The Trojans, Bears and Savages will all compete at the State Qualifying Meet at BGM on Thursday, May 14, while Keota goes to WACO. The State Track and Field Meet will be held from Thursday, May 21, to Saturday, May 23, at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.
