Twice as great:
Star Class 2010 has four sets of twins By DEB NICKLAY deb.nicklay@globegazette.com
It’s not unusual to have one set of twins in the Globe Gazette Star Class. What is unusual is having four sets of twins. Andrew and Matthew Little, 18, of Mason City High School; Kaitlyn and Morgan Dornbier, 18, of Newman Catholic High School; Dean and Blair Berhow-Goll, 18, of Ventura High School; and Kellie and Lauren Schaefer of St. Ansgar High School, will all accept recognition during Star Class ceremonies today. Being a twin has its own set of dynamics. Each said their sibling provided additional incentive to excel — and

that there was a closeness among twins that is unlike other sibling relationships. “She takes care of me,” said Dean Berhow-Goll of his sister, Blair. “That’s what I am going to miss” once they head to college. Blair rolled her eyes — but grinned.“He is my best friend.” They both have been active in sports and music while in school.
Kaitlyn Dornbier
Morgan Dornbier
Dean and Blair will head different directions: Dean to Iowa State University to pursue a career in sports journalism and Blair to Central College in Pella, to earn a psychology degree, so she can be an elementary counselor. The Dornbiers will also head to different colleges — Morgan to the University of Northern Iowa to enter a pre-med program, and Kaitlyn to the

University of Iowa, where she wants to study mechanical engineering. “We’re competitive,” said Morgan, adding that she and her sister began challenging the other once they hit high school. “That really helped us to achieve our potential,” agreed Kaitlyn. That competitive streak was also typical of the Schaefers’ school years. “It helps to have some-

one push you,” said Lauren Schaefer. Both participated in the same sports — cross country, basketball and track — and both will head to the University of Iowa this fall. That’s where their paths will diverge, they added. “We’re not rooming together,” said Kellie, said with a laugh. See TWINS, PAGE 3

North Iowa, nation need responsible leaders Congratulations to members of the 2010 Star Class! I hope you and your family members feel a great sense of accomplishment in your selection to this group of young North Iowans. It is a pleasure for us at the Globe Gazette and globegazette.com to recognize you for your stellar academic and/or athletic performance. I encourage you to read about your fellow Star Class members. I think you’ll be impressed with them and their achievements and ambitions. Most of you will go on to further your education, and I suspect will
become leaders in your communities and great contributors to their social, economic, cultural and educational well-being. I know it sounds like a lot of responsibility, which may not be foremost in your mind right now. But while there’s a lot of fun ahead of you, there is a lot of responsibility. Communities in North Iowa and nationwide need good leaders, people who have studied issues and are willing to respectfully voice their opinions on them so that the best decisions can be made. While I suspect most of you will be going on to further your education —
and I’ll put in a plug for general education studies at NIACC if you’re not already committed Joe Buttweiler but know you want to Globe Gazette further Editor your education — some of you are or will shortly be looking for employment. While things are opening up a little, it’s still a tight market out there, and may be for years to come. I’d encourage you to think about entrepreneurship, either now or
later. North Iowa needs more people who are willing to try implementing their good ideas for businesses. And there are many great resources, including people right here at NIACC’s Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center, who are willing to help you. Besides a job for yourself, you could end up providing dozens or hundreds for others in our region. And with what we’ve lost in recent years, we could sure use them. There are many opportunities ahead of you. I hope you and your families are mindful that our greatest asset in North Iowa — our best crop of
all, if you will — is the young people who are committed to developing their talents and to helping others. No matter where you go, I ask that you stay plugged in to North Iowa through globegazette.com and on Facebook, where I know one or two of you spend a little time already, wink-wink.. It’s another great way for you to keep up with the North Iowa communities in which you live and maybe will leave, but will always care about. I wish you all continued success, and again, congratulations for being named to the Star Class of 2010.

Burford Award winners understand meaning of courage By JARED PATTERSON jared.patterson@globegazette.com
MASON CITY — It’s hard to comprehend what our Burford Courage Award winners have gone through in their final two high school years. For Belmond-Klemme’s Seth Johnson and Lake
Mills’ Tyler Olson, overcoming adversity has been a daily occurrence. For Johnson, his life changed on March 8, 2009. While on a trip to visit his brother and sister in Des Moines, Johnson was involved in a car accident
that killed his mother and grandmother. He and his father survived and were taken to the intensive care unit at Iowa Methodist Hospital in Des Moines. Seth’s injuries were nearly fatal. He had brain swelling and fell into a deep coma.
Doctors couldn’t tell the family whether he would come out of the coma or what his long-term prognosis would be. He spent more than two months in a coma. Once he came out of the coma, he had to develop his mental and physical
skills that had been severely damaged in the accident. His physical problems kept him from walking, loss of hand dexterity and hand/eye coordination. His speech was severely

mom, Laura, works with Habitat For Humanity and the teenagers have had lots of practice swinging hammers on Habitat homes in the community. While they will both attend ISU, they will sep-
arately establish their own circle of friends. It’s time, they said. Still, all the twins said, the bonds between them and their siblings will withstand college. Although, admitted Kaitlyn Dornbier, going
to a different college than her sister was OK — to a point. “If Morgan was going too far away, I’d cry. Really. But we’re both in Iowa, so it’s OK. Otherwise, I would be worried.”
“Look into these, the faces of our future, and you will believe the best is yet to come.”
I applaud your perseverance in pursuit of academic and athletic accomplishments. I wish you luck as you pursue your passion, follow your dream and reach for the stars.

As the president of NIACC, I also want the very best for you. Your communities and your families have high hopes for you. Having been an educator for 30 years, I can share with you so many stories of students who have touched my heart as shining stars and been an inspiration to my professional practice. So, here is what I have learned from my students: • Be patient with yourself. College is a big step and there are many changes that will challenge you. • Know that others have walked before you and that your instructors, counselors, and advisors
know the ropes and will help you. You don’t have to know it all at first. • Be persistent and don’t give up. Even when you may be having a really tough semester, seek help from tutors, mentors, and your instructors. There are often strategies that you can use, that you may not be aware of, to bring your challenges into perspective. • Have a plan. If you have a plan, you will know what to do, step by step. But, as I have said many times, keep the plan flexible. We never know in life what will be thrown our way and it is okay to alter the plan to be sure our overall goals are met.

excelled academically and in sports — earning All-American status in track and sweeping the Class AA Illinois State Track high jump event with a jump of 6-11. He said he was inspired by his teachers and chose to enter the education field. Jumper recalled working in Chicago’s South Side during the summer of his freshman year in college, teaching classes to inner city kids. “I found I could connect with kids whose
lives were a whole lot tougher than the life I had — I realized I needed to make the most of the gifts I’d been given,” he said. Today, Jumper has become a pivotal administrator at the JAMS-high school grades 7-12 complex, playing an instrumental role in redesigning the programming to more accurately address the needs of its students. Jumper and his wife, Laura, have three children, Alyson, Ella and Jordyn.
What is Star Class? Since 1995, the Globe Gazette has recognized the “best of the best” of North Iowa graduating high school seniors during its annual Star Class event. This year is no different, as we honor and applaud the achievements of 230 students. Faculty, administrators and athletic directors are asked to nominate their top senior students who excel in one of seven categories: mathematics, social sciences, arts, science, music, language and technical education. They are also asked to choose their top male
and female athletes. Students are honored during a special event held at North Iowa Community Auditorium. Special recognition is also given to our Mike Burford Courage Award recipients, and our Partners in Education Money To Learn Scholarship winners. All students are featured in this special section of the Globe Gazette. The event is made possible by Partners in Education sponsors who, in addition to the Globe Gazette, are NIACC, Landfill of North Iowa and Walmart Super Center.

Koehler, Bisbee are Star Class Money to Learn Scholars MASON CITY — Two North Iowa graduating seniors have earned the Globe Gazette’s Partners in Education Money To Learn scholarships to North Iowa Area Community College. Larissa M. Koehler of Rockford Senior High School and Bradford Bisbee of St. Ansgar High School will each receive $500. The awards were made on the basis on essays required of application with the theme, “What’s Below the Surface.” Both students talked of the many facets of their characters — not easily seen by others. “Determination is not visible to the outside but there is a ton of it below the surface,”
Bisbee
Koehler
Koehler wrote, adding that she valued patience, a non-judgmental personality and good listening skills. She said her integrity was born of her faith and upbringing. Bisbee calls himself a “technology geek” who is also a swine and beef farmer. He has earned the Iowa FFA Degree, the highest state degree that can be bestowed upon a member. He has also volunteered for activities, including ringing bells for the Salvation Army.
