Jindal plans Sigourney appearanceGOP presidential candidate will make Sigourney stop

By Michael HohenbrinkNews Editor

Republican presidential hope-ful Gov. Bobby Jindal will visit Sigourney. Keokuk County Republican Party Chair Tanya Webster is enthusiastic about the stop. The Sept. 30 stop, at the Haines farm, 18278 Highway 92, marks the first formal stop in the Sigourney area by a presiden-tial candidate this time around, though other regional stops have taken place. “It is interesting to note that he is the first GOP candidate to stop through our county in this cycle,” said Webster. “Both Rick Perry and Rick Santorum did stop at the Wooden Wheel vineyard earlier in May and July respectively. But this is our first in-county event!” Candidates Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Rick Perry and Rick San-torum have passed through the area with Bush making a brief

stop, but no formal events with a candidate have taken place in the city. Currently in his second term as governor of Louisiana, Jin-dal is among the GOP hopefuls seeking his party’s nomination for the 2016 presidential race. A former Rhodes Scholar at

Oxford, Jindal was elected in 2004 to the 109th Congress and re-elected in 2006. Webster said she hoped to see a high turnout for the event. “With it being the beginning of the long harvest season and the farmers and growers of our county being the target audi-ence during this campaign stop, we are very hopeful for a good turnout,” said Webster. “Being involved in agriculture myself, I know the value of a sunny dry day, so it may be a very last min-ute decision to attend for most. We understand that and will take that into account. However, that is why we pushed the event a lit-tle earlier if farmers are wanting to get into their combines right after lunch.” Webster outlined the itinerary

Fountain leak leads to early winterizationBy Michael Hohenbrink

News Editor Workers have been addressing a situation with a leak at the Lewis Memorial Fountain. “It had a pretty good leak,” said Don Northup, Director of Public Works for the City of Sigourney. “We were losing quite a bit of water.” Sigourney City Council was briefed during its Sept. 16 meet-ing on the state of the fountain. Addressing the problem led

to the decision to winterize the fountain. “We shut it down kind of early this year,” said Northup. The fountain will be turned on again in the spring. Removal of ash trees from the courthouse square earlier this year will also help with fountain upkeep, Northup said. Rather than vacuuming out the fountain multiple times per week,

Tri-County hears about grant writer sharing ideaNew board members welcomed


The Tri-County school board heard about a tentative idea for rural school districts in the re-gion to cooperate on seeking grant funding for their respective districts. Superintendent Dennis Phelps

addressed the school board Mon-day night about some early dis-cussions being held involving re-gional districts. At issue is the difficulty of se-curing state and federal grants, a process that typically involves a professional grant writer.

Pipeline lacks easements for most properties in Keokuk County


Most properties in Keokuk County that would be affected by the Dakota Access Pipeline proj-ect lack easement agreements, re-cent filings with the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) reveal. The massive multi-state pipe-line project has enjoyed mixed

success with securing easements. While most easements are in place for the project as a whole, locally easements are proving to be an issue, one that could lead to the use of eminent domain. Most of the easements needed for the project have been secured, a fact being touted by the compa-ny. “At this time, we are focused on continuing to work through the

IUB process towards a final de-cision on our permit,” said Lisa Dillinger, a spokesperson with the project. That number is right around two-thirds of the total. “As of today, we have more than

67 percent of the tracts along the pipeline route in Iowa secured by voluntary easement agreements,” said Dillinger. “That number con-tinues to change as we continue to actively negotiate voluntary easement agreements with land-owners.” Yet, a review of materials sub-mitted by legal counsel for the pipeline to the IUB shows many properties locally have yet to have their easements secured. At press time, 21 properties in Keokuk County still lack ease-ments, the company’s filing showed. Don Tormey, a manager for the Iowa Utilities Board, confirmed that total. “The 21 properties is a correct number according to an IUB staff report on Exhibit H filed in our Electronic Filing System (EFS) on Sept. 14,” said Tormey. A total of 18 Iowa counties lie along the route. While Keokuk County’s total of easements is not

by itself high, the county is the second-shortest section, by coun-ty, of the proposed line, but the county has a total of sought ease-ments right about in the middle of the pack. A total of 5.93 miles of pipeline are planned for Keokuk County. Jasper County has 34.44 miles of proposed pipeline, the longest portion for any county in Iowa. Next door to Keokuk County, Mahaska County has 30 prop-erties lacking easements for a 32.97-mile stretch of pipeline. If easements are not secured, eminent domain proceedings could take place. “Eminent domain proceed-ings will be discussed during the Board’s scheduled evidentiary hearing, which begins Nov. 16, 2015, but it’s unlikely that a de-cision will be made on this issue during the hearing,” said Tormey. “There is a clear line between what the Board does (decides

PIPELINE to page 2

Counties vary by how many parcels need easements vs. number of miles of pro-posed pipeline. Information from IUB staff report

PIPELINE from page 1whether Dakota Access can exer-cise eminent domain) and what the county compensation commissions may do in the future (decide how much Dakota Access has to pay for a condemned easement).” Appeals are possible. “When the Board has decided the case, either initially or on ap-peal from a proposed decision, any party to the proceeding may file for rehearing within 20 days,” said Tormey. “Once a final decision has

been made, any party may appeal to District Court within 30 days.” Before that time, affected landown-ers would have to be served with an order from the IUB. “The Board is required to serve this order on all owners of record and parties in possession of property that is subject to a request for the right of eminent domain,” said Tormey. “Landowners have until October 2 to intervene as parties to the proceed-ing.” The company insists no change is

planned in when construction would start. “Our timetable has not changed,” said Dillinger. Tormey outlined the planned time-line for IUB action. “Based upon the record to date, the Board intends to conduct the evidentiary hearing as follows: First, Dakota Access will move the admis-sion of its pre-filed evidence (unless admission has been stipulated by all the parties) and the Dakota Access witnesses will be made available for cross examination,” said Tormey. “Next, parties supporting issuance of the permit will do the same, in an order to be established. Board staff will then be made available for cross- examination. After that, parties op-posed to issuance of the permit will do the same, after which the Office of Consumer Advocate, a division of the Iowa Department of Justice, will do the same.” Consideration of any parcel-specif-ic issues affected properties will pro-ceed on a county-by-county basis. “The counties will be scheduled based upon the number of condem-nation parcels in each; that schedule will be established at a later date, when the final number of condem-

nation parcels in each county is more firmly established,” said Tormey. “That will permit parties who are only interested in the condemnation of a specific parcel of property to at-

tend only the relevant day (or days) of the hearing.” When complete, the pipeline would stretch over 1,100 miles, linking the Bakken and Three forks production

areas in northwestern North Dakota with facilities near Patoka, Ill.From there, the oil would continue on to Gulf Coast refineries.

JINDAL from page 1for the event. “Upon arriving from a stop in Bloomfield that night before, the Governor will be given a private tour of the dairy’s robotic milking parlor and will then look to mingle and vis-it with attendees,” said Webster. “He will address the crowd Town Hall style at noon and follow up with a question session. One of the things that we love about Governor Jindal is that he will stay and visit until the last guest leaves and then head on his way toward his Iowa City event that evening.” Jindal’s visit comes as a crowded field has candidates seeking to dis-tinguish themselves to Iowans. Webster noted the withdrawal of at least one GOP contender, Rick Perry. “While I am very saddened to see [the] former Texas Governor leave the race, I do believe that this con-cession of low polling candidates will help the voters make the best deci-sion,” said Webster. Webster also offered her own pre-dictions as to how the race would shape up in coming months. “Ironically, as blessed as we are to have so many competent [candi-dates] to choose from, it can be mind boggling. We do need to get to our top six by the new year to not scare away our caucus goers. So, I would look for nine more to fall away in the next few months.

FOUNTAIN from page 1the fountain will instead now require less work. According to Northup the fountain went for two weeks at one point over the summer without vacuuming, a major improvement. The winterization came after the fountain’s 75th anniversary celebra-tion saw hundreds gather in down-town Sigourney to share memories of the historic attraction. According Angie Alderson, Sigour-ney City Clerk and a leading orga-nizer for the fountain’s preservation efforts, fundraising for the fountain is now at around $111,000. A goal of $150,000 remains in place. Also during the meeting, coun-cil approved temporary street clos-ing for the Sigourney High School Homecoming Parade set for Friday, Oct. 2 and for the second annual

Sigourney Elementary Color Run set for Friday Oct. 9. The next regular meeting of the Sigourney City Council is set for Oct. 7 at 6 p.m. at Sigourney City Hall.

TRI-COUNTY from page 1 With significant training and expe-rience often a prerequisite to success-ful grant application, that’s a high bar for small districts to get over. Phelps informed board members that six districts in the region have had some discussion about the pos-sibility of going in together to share a single grant writer. Cost would split into manageable amounts for each district, rather than a single district bearing the burden. Districts involved in the discussion so far include Pekin and Tri-County locally as well as other regional dis-tricts. A number of grants might see local districts qualify, but often go unap-plied for by local districts. “The money is out there,” said Phelps. At this time, it’s a matter of discus-sion only. Board members expressed interest in at least pursuing the discussion. “We would be foolish not to,” said Matthew Steinke. With the Sept. 8 school election, two new faces have joined the school board. Departing members Justin Leer and Jody Schroeder were pres-ent for their final meeting while Jer-emiah Hoylman and Chelsea Moly-neux came onto the board. Karen Sieren, up for re-election during the Sept. 8 vote, also returned to the board. A talking point for the board Mon-day included the idea of a commu-nity service requirement for gradua-tion. Phelps stressed the issue of pro-ceeding carefully with this, noting that whatever was required would have to be one that was enforceable by the school.

Another man’s treasure The headline’s claim was intrigu-ing. Some individual, whose claim to expertise was that she had made money by selling items online, was being cited as having claimed that the average person has junk worth thousands of dollars lying around. And, no, it likely was not in the form of large piles of cash or jewelry. Rather, the claim involved selling your old clutter items online, for example with electronics, ideally by knowing just how to price the item and reaching the right buyer. With some items, I can grasp the idea behind such a claim, perhaps with that vintage Detective Comics # 27 featuring the first appearance of Batman. If you knew that already, my hat is off to you (but it’s a sign that you may well be the target demographic for attending comic book conventions and that you might secretly have a shrine devoted to Linda Carter or Commander Adama tucked away in your man cave). That legendary Honus Wagner

baseball card that so many kids might dream of trading for? Again, score…but it’s probably outside of the realm of possibility for actually turning up in your home. A first edition copy of the Guten-berg Bible? Marginal notes by Eras-mus? Sorry, Charlie. That’s likely never going to turn up amidst your hoarded collection of old hunting magazines, used soda bottles and TV listings from the Jimmy Carter presi-dency. Your old boxes of saved homework assignments, dating all the way back to the first grade, are not secretly covering a forgotten Andy Warhol painting. For the rest of us, it’s not necessar-ily all about such truly outstanding items as lost artwork, first edition books and rare collectibles as much

as the slightly less glamorous items, such as an old lunch box emblazoned with your favorite 1950s TV charac-ter or other nostalgia items. That limited edition Flintstones™ board game, the Beatles White Al-bum, etc.? To collectors, that’s still big stuff. And, apparently, it’s valuable to an extent. Such finds are easy to understand. Many of us, in our lives, may have actually handled items like these that, had we been in the know of their potential worth some day, we might have kept. After all, that first edition appear-ance of Batman was, once upon a time, on sale at newsstands every-where for just a few cents. It’s only as it became scarce that the price climbed into the stratosphere.

Likewise with our own childhoods, some vintage Pac-Man lunchbox, a He-Man action figure or a limited edition promotional item for a short-lived television program – gone in six episodes – might be the “it” item for collectors right now. And all of us might once have held just an item… and then junked it. Which has me thinking that, in the recesses of our office, could lie a trove of old junk. Typewriters, old printing equip-ment, decades-old newspapers and the like adorn the newspaper’s build-ing. Maybe, for the right individual, that’s valuable stuff. Likewise, in a local business, I no-ticed recently that a flag with 48 stars hangs on the wall. (For those count-ing, that’s a couple shy of the current total.) With a historian, though, it could be of interest. Better yet, with a Hollywood movie outfit, looking to make a film about the Cold War or something along those lines, perhaps it’s just that item that they need to design a set.

Imagine it… a new TV show, set in the deep recesses of 1983, is being held up in production because of the lack of 1980s paraphernalia. Or perhaps Robert Downey, Jr. is being prevented from setting foot on his latest flick, because enough rolls of shag carpeting cannot be found. Plastic cases for holding 3.5 inch floppy disks and a framed picture of Ronald Reagan might be the final pieces needed to start filming a Cold War-era spy thriller. In which case, a Nehru jacket or that collared floral shirt from the 1970s isn’t a fashion faux pas… it’s money in the bank. That’s an argument I can use if my wife asks me to clean out my old junk. “I’m not a hoarder,” I can respond. “I’m just holding on to our invest-ment.” Maybe she’ll even buy the excuse. If not, and she does make me throw it all out, perhaps the junk man will find a treasure of a lifetime. And he can be the one laughing all the way to the bank.

Milking was an enjoyable chore

Just ReminiscingBy Hilda SauerNR Columnist

As a young child and before starting to school, my parents bottled and delivered milk to different families in town. Since I was a girl and the youngest child, I was the person taking the bottle or bottles to the designated place at a person’s home. In doing this, I didn’t think of it as being a difficult or hard job. Actually I often thought of it as fun. Why? Because there was sometimes humor at some places; for example one place had parrots in cages in the small porch, and this was where the milk was to be left. Then, quite often a parrot would say “hello there!”…and it was a place I thoroughly enjoyed delivering their milk to. In remembering this, another memory comes to mind. This was the year I was in grade school and would walk by there daily the same path. At one place the man would often be sitting behind their large front windows and “wave” as I walked by. Then, not far I would turn left to go down a short street with a small building at one side. Upon seeing a large door open, the owner would be sitting there doing some task and always say “good morning” or “hello there.” Then, not far from this location there was one time when I was to stop there. As I got to their back screen door, [I] knocked and the lady soon came to the door, opened it and said “come in girlie or the flies will”….I didn’t say it out loud, but in my mind I said to myself “I thought you were blind!” Now, these are only two of the memories I have during the time I helped my parents when it was legal for them to deliver the milk. You see there were certain things to be done before the milk could be delivered. At that time period my parents did not have milking machines. Instead, the milking was done by hand. When I was old enough I could milk a cow or two, but Polly was a favorite. Why? Because a favorite “barn cat” would sit a little behind Polly and wait for me to squirt milk in its direction…and I seldom missed the squirt going into its mouth. When doing the milking by hand, and before it could be bottled for delivering, it was taken to [a] small build-ing located at the northwest corner of our house. In it was the separator used to first bottle the milk to be de-livered, then separate it with the cream going to a cream can to be delivered via a cream truck for delivery to the former English Valley Creamery in North English. At that time my parents had an “Icy Ball” refrigerator to keep the milk for delivery and for foods needed to be kept cold/cool.

When it rains, it poursTales of the Ancient

SportsmanBy Burdell Hensley

My, but it did rain. A heavy rain on Friday night is not a good deal for teams and admin-istrators. As a former athletic director, I must look at it from the angle of the administra-tor. Small schools, strapped by tight budgets and government regulations, have to depend on gate receipts. And if you are hosting a big game with a big gate possibility and the weather is bad, your gate is most likely cut in half or worse. Such was the case at Pella Christian Friday night when the Savage Cobras of Sigourney/Keota visited for a game that was big in dis-trict play. Heavy rain, thunder and lightning engulfed the field about an hour before game time and lingered. The biggest problem Ath-letic Director Brad Engbers, and the officials had to deal with was lightning. The lightning moved out and they were able to get the game started at 8 p.m., just an hour late. Even after the game began, the howling wind blew sheets of rain over the field. Despite the miserable weather, both teams were able to move the ball. Pella Chris-tian built a 28-20 lead at halftime. After half-time, the Savage Cobras took over with their thundering single wing attack. Peyton Craw-ford proved to be unstoppable as he rumbled for four touchdowns to go with the two he had in the first half. Crawford’s eye-popping numbers included 29 carries for 357 yards and six touchdowns. Next week, I get a chance to check out the Eight Man game. My assignment takes me to Twin Cedars for the game between Wayne and the Sabers. I always enjoy going to Saber Land as I started my teaching career there 53 years ago. That makes it a homecoming for me. Some of my kids will be there, but they have all gotten as old as I am. How about that Hawkeye game? I was sure it was going to overtime, and I didn’t think we could hold off the physical Pitt team in over-time. But Koehn came to the rescue with a 57-yard bomb for the win as the clock ran out. I thought he might have a chance if he hit it well. All of his kickoffs were deep into the end zone, so there was no doubt that he had enough leg. That was just a super win for Iowa.

On the flip side, the Cyclones suffered a painful loss to Toledo. Now, bear in mind that Toledo beat Arkansas last week, so they must be pretty decent. I really feel bad for Paul Rhodes. I think he is a pretty good coach, but he has struggled at ISU. He seems to get a few good athletes, but not enough of them to carry them in the rugged Big 12 Conference. The Major League Baseball season is wind-ing down and those pesky Flubs are making it tough on my Cardinals. At least the Cards were able to steal one on Sunday to stop the bleeding for a while. I guess I shouldn’t worry because the Cardinals seem to do a swan dive every September and then pull it out in the end. They have already qualified for the play-offs, but they really want to win the division. I was able to cover a couple of volleyball matches last week. On Monday, I went to Twin Cedars for a triangular with Twin Cedars, Moravia and Wayne. I found that volleyball on the Class 1-A level is much different than volleyball in Class 2-A and 3-A. Moravia won both of its matches while Wayne split and Twin Cedars dropped both games. Tuesday night found me in Pella for a match between the Lady Dutch and the Grinnell Tigers. Pella won all three matches, but they were competitive matches. I did manage to spend a beautiful after-noon on the golf course Tuesday. I didn’t play particularly well, but on hole No. 17 at Edmundson I thought I might have gotten a hole in one. It is a little over 170 yards to the hole, and I hit my three iron quite well. The ball was right in line with the pin as it took a couple of bounces and rolled on to the green. I went to the green and I did not see a ball. Oh my! Could it be in the cup? I checked, but there was no ball in the cup. Then I noticed something white in the rough grass behind the green. Drat! My good friend, Jerry Bottenfield tells me that he has gotten two holes in one this sum-mer already. Wow! I’m still looking for my first. I figure that if Floyd White could get one when he was 97, there is still hope. Sunday afternoon the Ancient-ess and I attended the Jim Brady Trio concert at Pella Christian. Jim sang with the Booth Brothers for 13 years, and now he and his wife, Melis-sa, decided to form their own group. They in-vited talented pianist and singer Tim Parton

to join them to make up the Jim Brady Trio. They are extremely good, and we enjoyed them very much. Let’s see what happened in our yesterdays. 100 years ago: Sept. 24, 1915 – A young and green Fremont Football team gave Osky a battle, but wore down and lost 28-0. Larimer and Kemp each scored twice for Osky. 75 years ago: Sept. 24, 1940- Berle Kerr tossed a pass to Carroll Visser for the game’s only score as Bussey beat Hedrick 6-0 in Six Man Football. Leatherby and Lynn were the Hedrick lead-ers. Barnes City beat Cedar 10-9 to claim the Mahaska County Baseball title. Albert Stew-art pitched the win for BC and Howell, Min-er, Pitman and Ronald Sanders each had two hits. Durant Barnard was the Cedar star with a triple and two doubles. Sept. 28- Sigourney whips Wellman 21-0. Don Pfaff scored twice for the Savages and Howard Hammes once. Sept. 28- Kenny DeWitt hurled a no-hit game as Lacey bested Rose Hill 8-0. Eugene DeWitt tripled and Ken Walston, Bob Gatton and Ken-ny DeWitt each had two hits. Sept. 28- New Sharon took over first place in the Keomah Six Man league with a 24-0 win over Bussey. Bill Miller scored twice while Bud LeCocq ran for a TD and passed to Gordon Berg for another. Sept. 30- What Cheer beat Webster 12-4 to win the Keokuk County Baseball title. Dale Elliott pitched the win in relief of Armstrong. Arm-strong led the hitting with two doubles and a single. 50 years ago: Sept. 24, 1965- Pekin rolled past Eddyville 13-1 in Sectional Softball play. Carol Ann Brown and Cheryl Schreiner each tripled and Karolyn Greeson singled twice for the Panthers. Cheryl Schneider tripled for the Rockets. Sept. 25- Hedrick scored with eight seconds left to beat Toledo Juve-nile Home 7-0. Dennis Brown fired a 35 yard pass to Dennis Johnson for the winning TD. Sept. 25- Tri-County beat HLV 20-6 behind the strong running of Jim Little who scored all of the Trojan points. 25 years ago: Sept. 29, 1990- North Mahas-ka beat Colfax 25-16 Second half TD’s from Josh Boughton and Ben DeBoef rallied the Warhawks. B. J. Smith and Brett McGriff scored in the first half. Sept. 29- Sigourney/Keota blasted BGM 49-6 as Chris Coffman scored five touchdowns for the Savage Co-bras. Have a great week and look out for com-bines. It is going to get real busy this week.

CARDSOF THANKS

Kimberly Loose died in a one-car accident af-ter leaving her best friend’s 16th birthday party. Authorities determined she was thrown from the passenger seat of a car driven by Jeffery Daily. Also in the car were Daily’s best friend, Craig Petersen, and his brother, Kevin Petersen. Dai-ly, who wasn’t injured, was charged only with operating a vehicle while under the in uence of alcohol.

The Loose family was initially told that Kim’s death was a freak accident — that the vehicle’s passenger door had fallen open while alleged-ly traveling 20 mph over a speed bump in

a parking lot — and that Kim had fallen from the vehicle, broken her neck and died.

In 2011, Kim’s family obtained copies of police reports and autopsy photos which were inconsistent with what they were told 25 years earlier. The sheriff’s of ce reopened the case, calling the death “suspicious,” but closed it again shortly after, ruling the death an accident. The family doesn’t know what transpired from the time the death was ruled suspicious and the case reopened, until it was ruled accidental and the case closed.

ANYONE WITH ANY INFORMATION about the deaths of Kimberly Loose or Craig Petersen is encouraged to contact the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation at (563) 284-9506 or the Iowa DCI at 515-725-6010.

Craig Petersen died just over one day after Kimberly Loose died in the company of Pe-tersen’s best friend, Jeffery Daily. Petersen dis-appeared the morning of Sept. 28, 1986 while walking across the Interstate 280 bridge south of Davenport. Two days later, his body was found oating two miles west of Montpelier on the Mississippi River. No conclusive evidence ever proved whether Petersen had jumped (voluntari-

ly or by coercion), fallen, or been pushed from the bridge into the river.

Both Loose’s and Petersen’s deaths were con-sidered suspicious and perhaps related, given the victims’ association with Daily, yet in the nearly three decades since the two young victims died, con icting reports of what happened that week-end still leave loved ones wondering if they’ll ever nd answers or closure.

KC Retired School Personnel gatherSubmitted by Mary Williams

Secretary The Keokuk County Retired School Personnel met on Wednesday, Sept. 16, at the Hope Lutheran Church in Sigourney. Lunch was served by the la-dies of the church at 11:30 a.m At 12:10 p.m. Charlie Becker from Camp Courageous in Monticello was the featured speaker. A former teacher, Mr. Becker explained that Camp Cou-rageous is open for business 12 months a year. The camp currently takes care of 7,000 patients a year. Mentally and physically disabled people of all ages attend Camp Courageous. About 100 camp counselors work at the camp in the summer; about 50 the rest of the year. Many of the counselors are vol-unteers, especially in the summer. 97% of the people attending Camp Coura-geous are from Iowa, 3% from outside Iowa. People from all 50 states have at-tended Camp Courageous. A collection was taken up for Camp Courageous at the end of the presentation from the members present. A total of $333.00 was collected for Camp Courageous. Mr. Downing called the meeting to order at 12:50 p.m. Mary Williams read the minutes of the May meeting. Min-utes were approved as read. Phyllis Cl-

ingan gave the Treasurer’s Report. Mr. Downing stated that at the State Con-vention coming up in October, paying for one meal for a new member was going to be discussed and voted on. The consensus of the members present was to continue doing that for new mem-bers. Dues will go up to $15.00 per year instead of the current $12.00 per year. Doris Conner reported for Lois Ro-mine on volunteer hours that were turned in by the membership. Mem-bers should continue to send their volunteer hours to Lois Romine. It was suggested that in the new year when members turn in volunteer hours, their names should be put into a drawing for a free meal. This year 9,128 volunteer hours were turned in by 28 members. This was 2,511 less hours than last year. Doris encouraged members to re-spond to the e-mail request sent out for lunch reservations. Members need to give Doris Conner their e-mail address so they can be contacted about meet-ings. After thanking the cooks for a won-derful meal, the Door Prize for a free meal was awarded to Jan Wallerich. 38 members attended this meeting. Meeting adjourned at 1:05 p.m.

Nichol’s NibblesStill time for salsa

By Nichol HohenbrinkNR Columnist

When my husband discovered he was getting back into the field of edit-ing newspapers, one of the things he told me was that he wanted to resurrect something I did at a previous paper of his – my cooking column. While I was flattered, I’m still in the beginning stag-es of getting my kitchen in order. To make things simpler with this move, we took very little with us. I pushed off his request for the time being. Then, one of the many friend-ly faces in our new community pulled up alongside our family while we were out on one of our walks. The man asked if we could use some tomatoes and offered to drop them off at our new house. I sometimes forget the joys of moving to a new small town. You don’t know whom you just talked to, but they already know where you live. That said, I love to cook. It was a habit I had to pick up in college. I remember the year I got my first apartment, one of the gifts from my parents was a cook-book. As I opened it to see what great recipes it contained, I was shocked to see it blank. I gulped as a turned to my mom and asked, “What are you trying to say about my cooking abilities?” She shook her head and explained that it was to write down recipes in that I liked. Tomatoes are one of the food items I’ve discovered as an adult while retry-ing them that they aren’t as evil or dis-gusting tasting as my childhood mind made them out to me. I lean toward salsas, pasta sauce, etc. for my tomato consumption. So, if you still have some tomatoes of your own that you’re looking to use up, please feel free to try my new recipe. I look forward to sharing more of my recipes with you in the weeks to come.

What’s going on in ArtBy Kam M.

In art, the non independent art stu-dents are working on various things like clay, watercolor, pencil, and ink art projects. The art teacher’s favor-ite art is clay art. She doesn’t real-ly have a favorite artwork that has been handed to her, but she did say the best artist = best attitude. In the teacher’s opinion for the seniors, who would graduate this year, Tanner H. and Josie T. might become artists. For the independent art students,

some are just finishing up their artwork while others are still working on theirs. One of them is just finishing up a scene from “One Piece”, the anime, with the main character Monkey D. Luffy in it. They are thinking of making a mask out of clay instead plaster. Although Tanner would be a great artist, he isn’t going to be a full-fledged artist. Tanner is thinking of getting a major in graphic design and a minor in culinary arts, but sometimes he might make something with paints, clay food, pencils or anything else. He said he would, hopefully, be making some beau-tiful art work.

Tanner likes all of his art projects, and says that, “All art is beautiful and to be admired and even if an artwork isn’t good, it doesn’t mean it has to be judged harshly.” As for Josie, she is currently work-ing on local landmarks in Sigourney, but when she’s finished, she’s going to be working on landmarks around the area like the Delta Bridge. Her favor-ite artwork was her “Starry Night”, and she likes the victorian and 50’s style art. She says she isn’t going to be an artist because she’s thinking of going into a field in biology.

The Beginning of The EndBy Adam Hames

In this article I interviewed several seniors, asking them questions like, what’s next, do you regret anything, and would you do it over again if you could? Adam Hames: Next for me is com-munity college, and then, hopefully, the University of Iowa. I regret noth-ing. Yes I would do it all over again, but I would lose a lot of weight.

Austin Smothers - 1. Going to col-lege to get my associate’s degree. 2. I wish I had gotten more involved in things like sports. 3. I don’t really think so. I’m happy with the end re-sult of my time in high school, and I look forward to the future. Madaline Berg - 1. I plan on attend-ing a university and earning a degree in something; I haven’t quite decided on exactly what major yet! 2. I regret not taking more college courses and trying harder in school. I regret not

being more involved in sports during high school. 3. If I could do it all over again, I definitely would. I would cherish the memories and the time more. Plus I would have more time to decide on a major. Jordan Albert- I plan to attend col-lege in the fall of 2016 major in some science related such as zoology or biology. I don’t regret much in high school; I loved every day of it.

Meet the CheerleadersBy Summer Barthelman

Jenny Thompson is the football cheerleaders’ sponsor, and her fa-vorite thing about the season is to be with the girls and to get ready. Over the past years, her team has sold T-shirts to raise money for the new uniforms they purchased this year. She also loves the Getting to know the new cheerleaders. Jenny said that her biggest responsibility is to watch over the girls and to make sure they have fun. Madison Schwenke is one of the new cheerleaders. She tried out

because she wanted to be the first cheerleader in her family, and foot-ball season is a really fun season. Madison’s favorite part of being a cheerleader is hanging out with the squad and doing the cheer, Snap, Crackle, Pop. Madison is also in-volved in volleyball, dance, SWAG, competition dance, softball, band, and will be hopefully moving on with cheerleading. Sydney Striegel is a sophomore, and this will be her second year as a cheerleader. Sydney likes to cheer because she has always wanted to be a role model and loves game nights. Things that make Sydney better at

cheering are volleyball, basketball, golf, band, and practices, and her fa-vorite cheer is Hey Mighty Cobras, and other cheers with her team. She is also hoping to move on with cheer next year. Sierra Davis is also one of the new cheerleaders; she decided to tryout because she had participated in it for two years, and she missed it. Her favorite part of being a cheerleader is being a part of a team, doing the new alligator cheer, and game nights. Things that she thinks make her a better cheerleader are softball, bas-ketball, track, volleyball, and band.

About the New Teacherby Kam M.

Tyler Scholl, new science teacher, really enjoys it here, in Sigourney. It reminds him of Garner, Iowa, his hometown. He also says he likes the fact that Iowa City and Des Moines

are not very far away. He and his wife like it here because people are ‘nice’ and ‘welcoming’ when they moved into Sigourney. This is Tyler Scholl’s first teaching job, and he enjoys it. He says he takes pleasure in teaching his own classes rather than substitute teaching like he did last year. Tyler’s

exact reasoning for moving here, in his own words, were “My wife and I were able to get jobs close to each other, and it worked out that I got one here and she got one in Ottum-wa.”

New Faces at Sigourney HighBy Summer Barthelman

Nick Ives is new to Sigourney. He moved here from Keota to get a bet-ter education. He is making plenty of new friends and is really enjoy-ing Science 10. The activities Nick is involved in are football, wrestling,

track, baseball, and band. Cody Cundiff is a new student to Sigourney High School, and he is a senior who is originally from Geor-gia. He is playing football and will be playing baseball next spring. His favorite class is Ag Machinery where he has made some new friends. He came to Sigourney because of family.

Gonzalo is new to the school here as a freshman; he came from Burgos, Spain to learn more about English. For the time Gonzalo is here, he is running cross country, and making lots of new friends. The class he en-joys most is Spanish.

Eagles battle with two SICL contenders

By Adam MeierRegional Sports Editor

Two of the South Iowa Cedar League’s top contenders stood in the way last week of the Keota varsity volleyball team and its first win. The Eagles began last week with a home contest against on Monday against Iowa Valley, who Keota edged for the conference title a season ago, but lost to in the Regional playoffs. The Tigers overmatched the new-look Eagles in this one, winning all three sets: 25-19. 25-10, 25-7. Marissa Ward finished with 16 kills, while Cherisse Ward added 22 assists, eight kills and four aces. The Eagles were led with an eight-ace, four-kill performance by senior Cortney Hyman. Addison Sprouse finished with a team-high 14 digs on the night, while seniors Grace Shemanski and Alyssa White each recorded a kill. Coach Brandi Cave’s group put to-

gether a better performance later in the week, on Thursday, at Belle Plaine. After dropping the first set 25-17, the Eagles stormed back with a 25-22 win in the second set. However, back-to-back wins by the Plainesmen in the third and fourth sets (25-21, 25-11) finished off Keota in four sets. It was an extremely balanced effort on Thursday by the Eagles, with six players finishing with two or more kills on the night. Erin Chapula and Hyman each fin-ished with five kills; Olivia Sieren and White each had three; and Raigan Sprouse and Abby Schulte each had two. Schulte also added 16 aces. As a team, the Eagles recorded 16 aces, including four each from Ch-alupa and Hyman, and three each from Addison Sprouse and Mallory Woltering. Next up for Keota is a road battle at Tri-County, in its only match of the week, on Monday, Sept. 21.

Panthers move to 3-1 in SEISC North


The Pekin varsity volleyball team put its loss to Mediapolis in the rear view mirror last week by disposing of a pair of conference foes. The Panthers won at Highland on Tuesday and then beat IMS at home on Thursday, to improve their over-all record to 11-3, including 3-1 in SEISC North play. At Highland, the Panthers start-ed off playing some of the best ball they could play, dismantling the Huskies in the first set by a score of 25-8. In the second set, howev-er, Highland upped its level of play substantially, giving the Panthers all kinds of problems. “We started off playing our level of game in the first set,” head coach Ashley Bartels said. “Then, in the second set, we dropped our level of play. Highland is very scrappy and was hustling after everything. They would send the ball over on the second touch, so that threw off our girls.” Highland’s unorthodox style of play helped the Huskies take down Pekin in the second set, 25-23. The Panthers bounced back in the final two sets, giving Highland no hope for a comeback. Pekin took care of the Huskies in the third and fourth sets, winning each by a score of 25-15. Beth Atwood led the way for the Panthers with 18 kills, 11 digs, two blocks and two aces. Cassidy Tolle added 11 kills, while Shelbie Wil-liams finished with seven kills and a team high five blocks. Libero Emily Bemis recorded a team high 13 digs and setter Courtney Comstock fin-

ished with 27 assists. Pekin had less trouble with IMS on Thursday, winning in three straight sets: 25-20, 25-14, 25-12. Atwood, Tolle and Williams each finished with double-digit kill to-tals, while sophomore Maci Gam-bell went 13-for-13 on serves with five aces. Next up for Pekin is the SEISC Conference Tournament on Thurs-day and Saturday, Sept., 26, should the Panthers advance.

Two nail biters go against SavagesBy Adam Meier

Regional Sports Editor

The Sigourney varsity volleyball team hasn’t been playing bad what-soever early in the 2015 SICL season – it just hasn’t been playing quite good enough to pull off any wins. The Savages fell in two more hard fought conference matchups last week, dropping them to 0-3 in South Iowa Cedar League play. Last Monday the Savages hosted HLV in their home opener and fell three sets to two. After losing the first set by a score of 25-16, Sigourney bounced back by winning the second set, 25-17, be-fore falling behind once again with a 25-21 loss in the third set. How-ever, with the help of an energetic home crowd, the Savages kept hopes alive by taking down the Warriors 25-21 in the fourth set, forcing a de-cisive fifth and final set. Sigourney was unable to complete the come-back, though, as Brooke Kuesel and

the rest of the Warriors took down Sigourney 15-12 in the final set. Kuesel finished with ten kills and six aces on the night. Sigourney was led with a 23-dig, 14-kill, three-ace performance by senior Sierra Davis. Anna Ohland added 12 kills, while Leah Carter finished with 31 assists and four kills. Brooke Waechter fin-ished with five kills and Autum Bar-thelman added four. SICL newcomer Colfax-Mingo hosted the Savages that Thursday, in a match that resulted in similar fashion to the one against HLV. This time, however, Sigourney fell behind two sets to none after losing the first set, 26-24, and then the sec-ond, 25-22. The Savages stormed back in im-pressive fashion by winning the next two sets (25-17, 25-16) before finally falling 16-14 in the decisive fifth set. Davis was fantastic for the Savag-es, going for 32 kills, while Carter dished out 32 assists and added eight

kills. Junior Ally Schroeder added some major contributions, record-ing 13 digs and seven kills, while Barthelman added five kills and Montana McRunnels added two.

Sigourney hosted BGM on Mon-day, before playing at Tri-County on Thursday, Sept. 24. The team then plays in a tournament at Mid-Prai-rie on Saturday.

Trojans slip to 0-6 on the seasonBy Adam Meier


The difficult season continued last week for the Tri-County varsity vol-leyball team, as the Trojans fell in two more matches, dropping their season mark to 0-6. The Trojans started things off at home against Lynnville-Sully last Monday, losing to the Hawks in

three straight sets. After falling in the first set 25-11 and in the second set 25-13, the Tro-jans flashed their potential in the third set, playing their best volley-ball of the night. Tri-County kicked its defense into gear to make a game of it in the third, but ultimately fell by a count of 25-22. The Trojans finished with 37 digs

and four blocks on the night, in-cluding nine digs apiece from Ginny Schmidt and Myrissa Garber, and three blocks from Michaela Lundy. Lundy also recorded a team high six kills in the loss, while Schmidt and Taylor Markham each added two. Jes-sie Maxwell finished with a team high two aces, to go along with her one kill. Tri-County fell at Iowa Valley later in the week in three straight sets: 25-

12, 25-6, 25-11. Lundy led the effort with three kills and a block, while Garber, Markham, Natalie Steinke and Nikayla Dowd each finished with one kill. Next up for the Trojans are home matches with Keota on Monday, and with Sigourney on Thursday, Sept. 24.

area sports: CROSS COUNTRYEnglish Valleys hosts meet at Knoll Ridge


The trend of wonderful weather for area cross country runners con-tinued last Tuesday when English Valleys hosted its annual meet at Knoll Ridge Country Club. Along with the likes of Clear Creek Amana, Durant, Tipton and Highland, the Sigourney Savages, Keota Eagles and English Valleys Bears all gave it a go last Tuesday in North English. On the boys’ side, Keota sopho-more Logan Sieren had the best day of any area runner, finishing 11th with a time of 19:23. Highland’s Keiffer Sexton won in a time of 17:44. Joining Sieren in the field for the Eagles were Turner Klein (20:25) and Jason Ree (23:38), who finished 28th and 76th, respectively. Just behind Sieren of Keota was a pair of Savages: Will Flanegin and Ty-ler Crawford. Flanegin came in 12th with a time of 19:25, while Crawford placed 13th in a time of 19:26. Luke House was next in line for Sigourney, placing 43rd in a time of 20:59, with Tristan Bell coming in 52nd at 21:17. Tommy Stout finished in 56th with a time of 21:23 and Zane Kracht was in 70th at 23:09.

Aaron Michael rounded out the field for the Savages, running a time of 23:44 to finish 77th. The girls’ race was largely domi-nated by the trio of Durant, Tipton and Wilton, with the three school’s accounting for ten runners in the top-15. Durant’s Alyssa Williams took first in 19:33; more than two minutes ahead of the second-place runner, Kenzie Mente of Tipton. The contingent of area runners was led by EV freshman Isabel-la Fisher, who took 14th place in a time of 24:50. Behind Fisher for the Bears were Isabel Schneider (25:52), who placed 25th, and Taylor Gerard (26:50), who finished 39th. The Savages were paced by senior Madaline Berg and her fantastic run of 25:32, which landed her in 23rd place. Behind Berg was freshman Summer Barthelman, who placed 28th in a time of 26:00, and Jasmine Abel, who ran a time of 26:20 to place 33rd. Sigourney also got a 36th place finish from Megan Montgom-ery (26:30), a 42nd place finish from Paige Thompson (27:03) and a 55th place finish from Sarina Gretter (28:41). Lily Hammes rounded out the field for Sigourney, coming in 57th with a time of 28:44.

Panthers demolish New London, move to 3-1By Adam Meier


Pekin 47New London 20

� e once struggling Pekin o� ense found its groove on Friday night at New London. Despite wet conditions and a kicko� time that was pushed back two hours, the Panthers still compiled nearly 400 yards of o� ense it their 47-20 win over New London. Already leading 7-0 a� er one quar-ter of play, Pekin found the end zone

three more times in the second quar-ter to build a 28-7 hal� ime lead, be-fore scoring three more touchdowns in the third quarter to put the game out of reach. Quarterback Trever Northup com-pleted four-of-six passes for 143 yards and three touchdowns, all of which were caught by Keaton Winn. Winn � nished with 126 yards re-ceiving and three touchdowns, while Chase Copeland caught one ball for 17 yards and ran 13 times for 41 yards. Tyler Copeland led the ground at-

tack for the Panthers, carrying the ball 13 times for 91 yards on the night. Northup added two rushing touchdowns, including one for 36 yards, and Brady Donovan ripped o� a 72-yard rushing touchdown as well. Defensively, the Panthers were led by Skyler Juhl and Winn, who combined for 14.5 tackles, includ-ing � ve for loss. Zack Conger added two tackles for loss, while Connor Reed had 3.5 tackles, including one for loss. Sophomore Kaden Baker pitched in four tackles on the night in Pekin’s big win. Next up, the Panthers will host Van Buren (0-4) on Friday.

Massive second half propels CobrasBy Adam Meier


Sigourney-Keota 52Pella Christian 35

Coming into the 2015 season, Pella Christian was looked at as one of the best teams in all of Class 1A. On Fri-day, Sigourney-Keota displayed why perhaps the Cobras should be in that conversation instead. By outscoring the Eagles 32 to 7 in the second half, the Cobras picked up their second win of the season, 52-35, heading into Friday’s huge matchup with Mid-Prairie. SK entered the second half trailing

28-20, but kicked its o� ense into gear by scoring three touchdowns in the � nal ten minutes of the third quarter.

Bears battle, fall short v. Grand View ChristianBy Adam Meier


Grand View Christian 25English Valleys 7

An hour and a half rain delay, cou-pled with standing water on the � eld, made for an interesting Friday night in North English. English Valleys hosted Grand View Christian of Des Moines on Friday night and put up a strong defensive e� ort.

� e Bears fell behind 3-0 a� er a � rst quarter � eld goal by Grand View Christian, but locked in defensively for the next few possessions. With the EV o� ense unable to sustain any long drives in the � rst half, the Bears’ defense was dealt the duty of keeping things close. EV’s defense did just that, holding Grand View Christian to just nine � rst half points. EV’s o� ense � nally got into gear in the late portions of the third quarter. A short touchdown run by seniors Casey Blaylock cut EV’s de� cit to

just 9-6, before a successful extra point by Andrew Kerkove made the score 9-7. However, the Bears were unable to slow down GVC during the � nal pe-riod, giving up a pair of touchdowns en route to a 25-9 loss. Kerkove led the o� ensive attack for EV, � nishing with 97 yards on the ground and 26 through the air. Meanwhile, Blaylock threw for 32 yards and rushed for 23 and a touch-down. Receiver Kellan Coppinger � n-

ished with four catches for 32 yards, while Blaylock added two catches for 26 yards. Defensively, Coppinger’s 10.5 tack-les led the Bears, with Kerkove added 9.5 and Gabe Trimpe recording 6.5, including one for loss. Chad Owens added 5.5 tackles and Matt Burlage � nished with � ve. Freshman Caleb Peach came through with 4.5 tackles and Je� Montgomery added four. � e Bears play at Don Bosco (2-0) this Friday.
