Attorneys for the Des Moines Water Works argued last week that drainage districts in Iowa should not be immune from having to pay monetary damages in tort cases. The water works has sued 10 districts alleging farmers are polluting the Raccoon River, seen here near Lake City, with nitrates. GRAPHIC-ADVOCATE PHOTO/ERIN SOMMERS

Des Moines Water Works lawsuit • Attorneys argue drainage code before state’s highest court By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Iowa Supreme Cour t justices pressed an attorney for the Des Moines Water Works about the utility’s end game in a lawsuit brought
against 10 drainage districts in three northwestern Iowa counties. The case has been filed in federal court; justices there sent several questions to the state Supreme Court, asking the state justices to weigh in on whether Iowa law really does protect drainage districts the way the counties and their attorneys argue it does. “Let’s say you win your case 100 percent,” Justice Edward Mansfield asked attorney John Lande. “What is the injunction against the drainage districts going to say?”

• Farm Bureau offers funding to covers Water Works lawsuit costs By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Earlier this year, supervisors in Calhoun, Buena Vista and Sac counties had to end their association with a legal defense fund that offered to foot the bills in a lawsuit brought
against 10 drainage districts by the Des Moines Water Works. Supervisors said the ended the relationship when the Agricultural Defense Fund, part of the Agribusiness Association of Iowa, refused to disclose the names of individuals and organizations that had made donations. Last week, two of those organizations – the Iowa Farm Bureau and the Iowa Corn Growers Association – stepped out of the shadows, vowing to cover the remainder of the costs facing the drainage districts through the completion of the federal lawsuit, as well as to keep the names of donors public.
Fall flowers bloom around Lake City square, thanks to volunteers By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Renee Stauter just wanted to see some color around the Lake City fountain. Stauter, who served on the fundraising committee to get the fountain installed in the city square, initially took it upon herself to brighten up the corners of the paved square around the fountain itself. She planted flowers of the same color in each corner, always before Mother’s Day. Her goal, she said, was to have bright, blooming flowers in time for Lake City’s Western Days celebration, at the end of June.

Linda Hammen said. “Can they do that? It sat there for about three weeks.” She said she never saw the water being pumped, but she did see a pump and generator at the site of the ponded water. She asked, hypothetically, if she and her husband would be allowed to pump the water di-
rectly to the ditch, if it ponded there again. “I don’t think we would do that,” Hammen said, adding that she is fairly certain Dakota Access’ crews did.
Landowners raise concerns about pipeline construction process By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor A Calhoun County farm family is questioning whether Dakota Access had permission to pump ponded water in to a drainage ditch.
Gary and Linda Hammen approached the Calhoun County Board of Supervisors Sept. 13 to ask the supervisors about several concerns they had about the construction on their property north of Rockwell City. After construction crews removed soil and laid the 30-inch pipeline in
the ground, then replaced the dirt, Linda Hammen said she noticed a large pond of water where water had never collected before construction. A crew member asked her if he could pump that water on to the farm fields. The Hammens said no. “Dakota Access pipeline pumped (that water) in to a dredge ditch,”

Emma King’s story is the kind that doctors use to remind parents to trust their instincts. In February, Emma, who lives in Coon Rapids, had visited Dr. Susan Hornback at Stewart Memorial Community Hospital a few times. Emma had stomach aches and a few other worrisome, but not necessarily serious, symptoms, Hornback and Emma’s mother, Jenni King, said. “The most common cause of abdominal pain in children is constipation,” Hornback said last week. But Hornback took King’s concerns seriously. The two women work together at the hospital, where King works in the radiology department.
“When the mom is persistent and says something’s not right, you really have to listen,” Hornback said. As King tells the story, Hornback met with King and Emma late one afternoon, and then decided to refer the girl to a gastroenterologist. To speed up the process, King said, Hornback ordered a full blood panel – a series of blood tests to check a variety of health measures. Hornback had done that before, and the tests came back normal. Hornback left the office, asking her staff to call her about the blood tests. King and Emma left, too, heading home. King’s cell phone rang as she drove – it was Hornback’s partner, who said Emma’s white blood was abnormally high – so high, King said, Emma shouldn’t have been running around and laughing, as she had been at the office. Hornback gave King two options: return to Lake City and get Emma admitted to the hospital there, through the emergency room, or head straight to Des Moines, to Blank Children’s Hospital. Hornback had called ahead to the hospital and spoken with an oncologist there,
who cleared the way for the Kings to bypass the local hospital and meet with a specialist as soon as possible. King called her husband, Matt, and told him to start packing a bag, because they needed to head to Des Moines. She said she didn’t go in to details just then. The next few days were a whirlwind. Doctors diagnosed Emma with leukemia and quickly plotted a course of treatment. They were able to catch the disease much earlier than with most patients, probably only six to eight weeks after it began. Emma hadn’t displayed any of the classic symptoms of leukeumia, King said. Emma’s prognosis is good – she faces about 2.5 years of treatment, after which 87 percent of patients reach the five-year mark cancer free. For now, Emma and King head to Blank Children’s Hospital each Monday, most weeks for chemotherapy. Emma also gets routine spinal punctures. “They check the f luid (in her spine),” King said. “Leukemia cells like to hide.” Doctors also then flush out any po-
tential cancerous cells in her spine with chemotherapy. As treatment has progressed, Emma has had fewer reactions requiring hospitalization. And most days, Emma seems like any other kindergartner. A student at Coon Rapids, Emma said she enjoys kindergarten, especially lunch. Mashed potatoes is one of her favorite school lunch items, she said, while learning to read is a classroom favorite. Her favorite books, she said, are about Clifford the Big Red Dog. “I miss school a lot” when she goes to Des Moines for treatment, she said. She keeps King close for the treatment itself. “I just sit on my mom’s lap and squeeze her hand when it hurts.” Emma’s doctors encouraged King to let Emma attend school, as long as she’s feeling up to it. “I very much trust the oncology team,” King said. “They said, ‘Let her be a kid. Don’t put her in a bubble.’” King did provide hand sanitizer, in bulk, to Emma’s kindergarten teacher, and offered to bring more when the initial supply runs out.

Empty Nest By Curt Swarm Two Books Here are two books, both by female authors, and both, I’ll tell you before hand, I’m awarding the coveted Empty Nest 10. By and large, I find female authors more sensitive, better writers, and better story tellers than men—not always, but generally; also more descriptive with their prose, better at creating images, and more able to draw the reader into a story, often with the first sentence, like bees to a hive. Ann Proulx has a new book, it’s called “Barkskins.� What or who are “Barkskins�? Good question. Proulx never does define “Barkskins� per se, but prefers to tease the reader’s imagination with descriptive prose. “Barkskins� could simply be old-fashioned woodcutters, the kind who felled trees with an ax; or “Barkskins� could be material Native Americans used to make the sides of canoes; or “Barkskins� could be the leather tough, sun burned, mosquito-bitten skin of the oldtime woodcutters who ventured into North America’s virgin forests to lay the earth bare. Proulx isn’t sure herself, what “Barkskins� means, and admits that she may have made it up. Only a Pulitzer Prize winning author can take such license. “Barkskins� tells the stories of two 17th Century families, the Sels and Duquets, who make their way to North America, first as indentured servants, then as wood cutters. The Duquets, later, Duke, over the centuries, become lumber barons, stripping the earth of its natural resources. The Sels marry into a Native American tribe and attempt to protect the land, wildlife, and flora. In this gut-
gripping, multidimensional tale, the forest is the protagonist, with a theme of conflict between man and nature. Everything is linked to the forest, including what we now call “climate change.� If there’s a conflict in the reader’s mind, Proulx views that as good. I’ve never read anything like “Barkskins.� It’s completely different from Proulx’s “Shipping News� and “Brokeback Mountain.� I have no idea how she spun such a yarn. A talent such as hers is beyond my comprehension. I only know that I could not put the book down, and once it was finished, I wanted to (and did) curl up in a ball to lie fallow from reading for awhile, like after your dog dies, and you don’t want another one for a period of time. But alas, my funk lasted only until the next morning. Reading, like an addiction, must be fed. I picked up “Eat, Pray, Love, 10th Anniversary Addition,� by Elizabeth Gilbert. I had heard of this book, but never paid any attention to it, thinking it too much of a chick read. Silly me. This book has as much, maybe more, to offer men. It’s follow your heart, no matter where it takes you. Being just about to start my life work, “Eat, Pray, Love� was, for me, the perfect book at the right time because, “I want God to play in my bloodstream the way sunlight amuses itself on water.� “Destiny...is also a relationship—a play between divine grace and willful self-effort. Half of it you have no control over; half of it is absolutely in your hands, and your actions will show measurable consequence. Man is neither entirely
a puppet of gods, nor is he entirely the captain of his own destiny; he’s a little of both. We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side horses—one foot is on the horse called ‘fate,’ the other on the horse called ‘free will.’ And the question you have to ask every day is—which horse is which? Which horse do I need to stop worrying about because it’s not under my control, and which do I need to steer with concentrated effort?� Two books: one new, one old, one historical fiction, one autobiographical self-help.

Lohrville council delays attorney vote pending new contract terms By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Members of the Lohrville City Council are still ready to retain an attorney to pursue litigation against a contractor who installed the city’s septic system. But at their Sept. 13 meeting, Mayor Donny Hobbs told council members he was still awaiting an updated contract that would ref lect some kind of contingency payment plan, instead of a straight fee for service. “He said he is open to this,� Hobbs said of the attorney, who is already litigating another lawsuit against
Lessard Contracting out of Sioux City, for septic systems near Storm Lake that exhibiting the same problems – causing water to back up in to homes – as happened in Lohrville. Councilman Leonard Moran said he saw the septic tank a crew removed, one that had never been used. “It was cracked on the inside,� Moran said. He contacted the tank manufacturer, who reported hearing rumors that Lessard crews used an excavator to tamp down on the tanks to make them level. Lessard representatives have not been responsive to the city’s most recent requests to remediate the septic

system problems. Moran also questioned whether the council should pay an outstanding bill to engineering firm ISG, because of ongoing issues with the septic tank project. ISG was the engineering firm that handled that project. “Once we’ve settled, we have zero recourse� to compel ISG to address problems with the septic tank situation, Moran said. “What did all of these eyes on the project lead us to? We’re still unhappy with the project.� The city did close out most of those bills several years ago, but officials at the time had a verbal commitment from Lessard that the company
would address the few incomplete parts of the project, and the backflow problem. It’s too late to call the performance bond, the insurance document that is supposed to give a city enough money to finish a project if a contractor fails to, or if the project isn’t done correctly, Hobbs said. “At the time, we didn’t know they should call out the bond,� Hobbs said. “They said they were going to fix it.� Council members agreed to set a special meeting for later this month, at a date to be determined, to meet with ISG to review problems with the project and discuss the unpaid bills.

This story is part of a two-week series about pediatric cancer.
Telling stories to remember By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor This week and next week, The Graphic-Advocate is bringing you stories about two area families dealing with childhood cancer diagnoses. These stories are neither easy to tell, nor easy to read. September marks Pediatric Cancer Month, and while that was part of my motivation to reach out to these families, I had another reason, more personal, that really challenged me to preserve their stories. In 2013, Angel Eaton was diagnosed with cancer. She was just shy of her 15th birthday. I knew Angel when we both lived in Hawaii – her mom, Kim, worked with me at West Hawaii Today, and I saw Angel grow from a precocious third-grade student to a young woman poised to enter high school. In the summer of 2012, Kim decided to move back to Alabama, where she grew up, and we continued to stay in touch through social media. My heart broke at Angel’s first diagnosis, cheered when she was declared cancer free in early 2015 and cried when her cancer came back suddenly in April. Sunday after noon, Angel, an 18-year-old with dreams of being a makeup artist on Broadway, died of cancer. I can’t cure cancer, but I can make sure people know her name and remember her. Her hometown
of Tuscaloosa, Ala., is far from here, but I hope you will indulge me and spend a few moments reflecting on a young life extinguished too soon. I watched as Angel grew up, navigating her way through the obstacles that so many preteens face in middle school. I saw her experiment with hair dyes, and learn how to incorporate a budding, eclectic, fashion sense in to her wardrobe. For 15 months, Angel was cancer free, attending high school, going to concerts, playing with her nephew. And then, in April, the cancer came back, savagely. Doctors began talking with Angel, a senior just a month from graduation, who had college plans and was expectantly awaiting the birth of her first sibling, a sister due in August, about how to manage her quality of life. To those of us watching from afar, too far to really do much to help Angel and Kim, the most we could do was pray. And those prayers brought answers. The weekend before Angel’s Friday night graduation ceremony, she was bedridden in a hospital. Suddenly, her symptoms subsided and her doctors agreed to send her home. She attended her graduation ceremony, walked up to receive her diploma and threw her cap in to the air, just like everyone else. She was able to attend on last concert by a favorite band, at a music festival she, her mom and uncle trav-
The idea of two more years of treatment is exhausting, King said, but she focuses on the end result. “I’ll have a healthy kid,” she said. “I’m very thankful she won’t remember the majority of it. It will be a blip on the radar.” These days, King said she finds herself reaching out to moms whose children have been newly diagnosed, offering them comfort and encouragement. She has benefitted from the support of friends and family – her parents in Lake City help watch her son, who is 2, when she has to take Emma to a doctor appointment. Friends also organized a large fundraiser last spring and started an online fundraising account to help with
medical costs. Stewart Memorial has been helpful, too, allowing her to adjust her work schedule around Emma’s appointments and needs. The routine of work “helps me deal with it some days,” she added. In the days following Emma’s diagnosis, King was inundated with phone calls, text messages and emails from friends and family members hoping for more information. She started a Facebook page, where she posts updates. The ability to update via social media can be a double-edged sword, she said. While she appreciates not having to update people individually, if she doesn’t update frequently, people start ask-
ing her for updates. No news, she said, is usually good news. September marks Pediatric Cancer Awareness month, which wasn’t on King’s radar until Emma’s diagnosis. “Before this, I knew nothing about how common it was,” King said. “And only 4 percent of (cancer research) funding goes to it.” In the future, King said she would like to be able to support organizations such as Alex’s Lemonade Stand, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House, which either help fund pediatric cancer research or help families whose children have been diagnosed with cancer.
basis,” she said. Dakota Access’ pipeline is already buried on the Hammen’s farm. But as of last week, days after the pipeline was placed underground, the couple was left wondering when, if ever, the pipeline company’s contractors would be back to repair a drainage ditch. “There’s a lot of mud and nothing’s moving,” Linda Hammen said. “We’re concerned because they didn’t clean it back out.” Water is building up on the north side of the ditch, she said. The contractors did seed the sides of the ditch, she added. The supervisors suggested Hammen contact an inspector with ISG, the engineering firm Calhoun County retained to inspected county drainage ditches and facilities. The Hammens said they did try reaching out to ISG and to Dakota Access, but since the couple also forced the pipeline company to exercise eminent domain to gain an easement to their land, they felt they weren’t getting timely or helpful responses from ei-
ther company. “Do you have any plan to make sure those are cleaned out?” Linda Hammen asked the supervisors. Dakota Access is required by state law to restore the land to its original state, Supervisor Gary Nicholson said. The pipeline itself isn’t a problem for the couple, Gary Hammen said. “They’re not listening” to the couple’s concerns, though, he said. “We’ve never been against technology,” Gary Hammen said. “Just the way they treated us has been terrible.” The Hammens also raised questions about damage to tiles in their farmland. Much of it was repaired, Gary Hammen said. But he was concerned about other tiles that could have been damaged but that remain unseen, for now. The land seems to be much more compact now than it was prior to construction, Linda Hammen said. “I just don’t see how drainage will happen for years,” she said.
Pipeline from page 1 eled to at the last minute. She held on, getting sicker, while her sister grew and developed. The week Angel entered hospice, her sister, Autumn, was born. Each of those things, those unexpected milestones, the chance to hold her little sister, were small miracles. They weren’t the miracle Kim wanted. Thousands of people – even ones I know don’t have much faith of their own – prayed for a miracle. But the miracles we saw happen weren’t the miracle that allowed a bright, spunky and precious 18-year-old to pursue her dream of being a makeup artist on Broadway. They weren’t the miracle that would let a six-week-old baby grow up with a big sister who loves her. Those things were amazing, but they weren’t the miracle we really wanted. Today, I remember the little girl who made a gingerbread house that we left on display in our newsroom long after Christmas had passed. I remember the girl who, in the Hawaiian convention of using familial terms as a way of showing respect, called me Auntie Erin. The girl who played with my older son after he was born. The young woman who traveled to New York City while still going through chemotherapy to see “Wicked” and meet the makeup artists who transformed actors for the performance. I hope you will, too.
Supervisor Scott Jacobs suggested Hammen reach out to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, which may require a permit for moving water in that way. DNR spokesman Kevin Baskins, in an email to The Graphic-Advocate Sept. 14, said the pipeline company is acting within the scope of its permit. “There is an exclusion in federal law that exempts interstate oil and gas pipelines from needing to have storm water permits during construction,” Baskins wrote. “It could, however, still be a violation if pollutants were being pumped into a surface water. Keep in mind that if this was pooled/ponded water from rainfall, it would eventually seep into the ground and into the drainage ditch through tile.” Dakota Access spokeswoman Vicki Granado also confirmed that the permit allows construction crews to move the water. “Additionally, there are DAPL and county inspectors up and down the line who monitor our work on a daily

Lions test children’s vision at SCC Elementary By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor In a darkened room at South Central Calhoun Elementary School, Roger Hepp aimed a boxy camera at Breckin DeVore’s eyes, a red light helping Hepp center the focal points on the boy’s pupils. With a quick click, Hepp snapped a photo. “Do you want to see your eyes,” Hepp asked the boy. “There’s the picture we took. You did well.” And with brief glance at the photo, DeVore was on his way, back to his
preschool classroom. The brief interaction allowed Hepp, a member of the Rockwell City Lions Club, to capture an image that vision experts at the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital can use to diagnose a number of eye problems. Last year, the Lions screened about 100 young students, club member Diane Vavak said. “It’s very important to get children as early as possible, so that they can keep from having problems in school, so they’re able to learn better,” Vavak said. “It’s something that our club holds very dear.” The club has participated in the Lions vision screening program for
years. Most of the young children do just fine with the set up – sitting on a chair in the dark, about four feet from a volunteer wielding the camera. Club members then submit the photos to KidSight, a joint project of the Lions Clubs of Iowa and the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital. Ophthalmologists at the hospital view the images, looking for certain ref lections, or lack of ref lections, that can indicate a variety of vision problems. The club members were planning to conduct the same screening of preschoolers in Lake City this week.
Program offers help with heating bills for winter The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program is designed to assist low-income Iowa households (homeowners and renters) in the payment of a portion of their residential heating costs for the winter heating season, to encourage regular utility payments, to promote energy awareness and to encourage reduction of energy usage through energy efficiency, client education, and weatherization. All clients applying for this program will simultaneously be making application for weath-
erization assistance as required by state law. Applications are accepted on a first come/first serve basis at the New Opportunities Calhoun County Family Development Center at 334 Richmond in Rockwell City from Nov. 1 through April 30 (Oct. 1 for households with an elderly/ disabled member). Applicants will need to furnish their Social Security cards or I94 card, a copy of their most recent heating and electric bill, and proof of all household members’ gross income for the past three
months or for the past year. The utility bill need not be in the applicant’s name to apply. This program is not designed to pay a household’s total energy costs. The program will provide supplemental assistance based on several factors. Those factors include total household income, household size, dwelling type, and type of heating fuel, among others. There are income limits for the program.
State observes Farm Safety Week The Iowa Farm Safety and Health Week will be held Sept. 18-24. This year’s theme is “Farm Safety…A Legacy to be Proud Of.” This is the 73rd observance of the National Farm Safety and Health Week that was originally declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt signed the first proclamation for farm safety in 1944 because
of the high injury rate in agriculture that was impacting the nation’s production efforts during World War II. Nearly 75 years later agriculture still ranks as the most dangerous industry in the United States. Today, safety professionals use this week to remind those working within the industry to be careful. Agriculture has the highest annual death
rates per 100,000 workers in the nation, surpassing all the other industries including mining, construction and manufacturing. Agriculture’s death rate is more than five times higher than all U.S. industries combined. This high death rate is why Iowans must use safe farming practices during harvest and throughout the year.

The Adaza Thursday Club went to the Varceis Club luncheon in Scranton on the 8th. Ten members and two guests with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adaza Connectionsâ&#x20AC;?, Janice Tilley and Rexine Johnson, enjoyed the tastey food and program of humor on â&#x20AC;&#x153;School Daysâ&#x20AC;?. Everyone can relate to that theme. Several of the group won door prizes. The program for the next year was planned, and dues will be collected then. Many attended the visitation and funeral Mass September 12th at St. Columbkille Church, in Churdan, for Rosemary (Monahan) Minnehan. She died on the 7th at Sunnybrook in Carroll, at the age of 89 years. Survivors are her husband, Philip â&#x20AC;&#x153;Budâ&#x20AC;?; sons, Quentin (Linda) Minnehan of Churdan and John Minne-

SHADY OAKS â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fall in Love with Shady Oaksâ&#x20AC;? was our theme for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community scarecrow contest. Team members had a great time working together to assemble the scarecrow display. Although we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t this years winner, we still have a lot of fun participating! Jenna Hanson commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was excited when I was asked to work on decorating the scarecrow. I love autumn and everything it brings. Spending time with team members to work on the project was an added bonusâ&#x20AC;?. The scarecrows adorning the
square was a great way to get the community in the spirit for Lake Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fall Fest, including the Dell Blair Chili Cook-Off. Jennifer and Brittany enjoyed a sunny but crisp day at Fall Fest representing Shady Oaks by hosting a temporary tattoo booth free of charge. It became a popular spot for the kids, right next to the bounce house! Together at Shady Oaks we continue to strive for excellence, integrity, and teamwork while serving our community and each other.

LOHRVILLE My thought for the day is: When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch you. The trivia question for the week is: How many cups of coffee can the Stanton water tower hold? Lohrville class of 1960, got together in Branson, Missouri. Those attending were: John Anderson and wife Marylin, Twila (Humm) Beckman and husband Larry, Ron Brown and wife Paulette, Larry McClure, Jill Roxie (New Banks) Rapino and husband David, Jane (Miller) Taiber and husband Lyle. They saw the Dullonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Moses. Bother really good shows. We enjoyed catching up with everyone. Ron wantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everyone to know he did dishes one morning. Told him I would put it in the paper.
Going back next year. On Wednesday, Cecil Cook brought treats for the Coffee Group at the J.J. Hands Library. Thanks Cecil, that was good of you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of year again, when the library is providing after school programs. There are several to choose from: Lego Club, Readers Theater, and Elementary Book Club. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget Story Hour for the little tykes. Our birthday best wishes go out to: Cheryl Grosvenor and Maggie Anderson on the 21st and Bob Anderson on the 14th. Hope you all have a good one. The answer to the trivia question is: 480,000 cups. So until next week, have a good one.
SUNNY KNOLL This week, we celebrated Bernadine Gentry turning 92! She was so happy to see her flowers, balloons and cards that she started to cry. Everyone sang her happy birthday. Bernadine told me that her faith and family is what helped her make it through all these years. I would like to thank everyone who has been bringing us in goodies from their garden. Our wonderful neighbor, Sandy Feld, has been bringing over tomatoes. Lynne and Dale Gentry brought us in green peppers, which we made stuffed peppers out of for lunch one day. The Knisleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Hinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have been bringing in lots of goodies from their garden. I cannot thank everyone enough for thinking of us! Our residents love all the fresh produce and we have had fun snapping beans and reminiscing about canning and gardening. I would also like to thank everyone who has donated jewelry, trinkets, old cards, and magazines. We put everything to good use! If I have missed anyone who brought in goodies, I do apologize. We are blessed to have such a giving community. I would like to thank Janet Lind-
strom, who battled the pouring rain last Friday to bring her kitty in for a visit. Everyone enjoyed seeing him and we hope that they can visit us again. We try to have pet therapy every week. Many of our staff members bring their four legged friends in to visit. This week, Courtney brought in Buddy. Buddy is a 2 pound Shinpoo. He was just the cutest thing ever and he was so happy to meet everyone! Everyone, and myself included, offered to puppy sit anytime. Just wanted to remind everyone; that Gary Weldon is rescheduled to perform on Friday, September 30th at 2 p.m. in the Sunny Knoll lobby.

The Greene County Historical Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s September meeting was on the 9th at St. Patrick Church on Cedar, in rural Churdan. The dinner was served by the preservation committee to about 30 guests. After the business meeting, Sheila McGregor Pound, of Jefferson, spoke on the music history of Greene County. It was interesting and brought back many memories to attendees. Theresa Ward, of Papillion, NE, came on Sunday, the 11th, to Paul and Pat Schmittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. They went to the visitation for Rosemary Minnehan in the afternoon, then visited Kathy Schmitt at Sunnybrook in Carroll and had supper. Theresa returned home after the funeral on Monday. Helen Babcock of Sioux Rapids also attended the funeral. Theresa and Helen are sisters of Paul, and Rosemary was their first cousin.

A birthday party was held on September 3rd to honor Delores Smith on her 90th birthday. Family and friends gathered in the Sunnyview Big Lounge from 2 to 4 p.m. for ice cream and cupcakes. All close relatives were from distances such as Tennessee, Sioux City, St. Louis, Michigan, and Minnesota. One grandson from Montana was not able to come. What a beautiful and happy occasion! They all had lots of fun. On Saturday evening, there was a catered dinner for the family. Many thanks go out to everyone, especially Sherry & Tom Padgett and Roger & Gail Smith. (Happy birthday, Delores!) How about that storm on Thursday night, September 8th! Word has it that Sunnyview received 2.9 inches of rain. We heard a preliminary report that Fort Dodge received 3 inches. We suspect that there were some wet basements. There is a saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lord willing and the creek donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rise.â&#x20AC;? Well, the creek had good reason to rise. Now we know the winner of the Iowa/Iowa State game. Did your team win? Oh well, there is always next year. We marked the 15th anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attack on the United States. We remember that on 9-112001, four commercial jet liners were hijacked by radical terrorists. Around 3,000 people were killed that day, including heroic police and fire officers who went into the horror to help others. A lesser known aspect of 9-11 is the evacuation of Manhattan Island
by boat, in an action that was â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigger than Dunkirk.â&#x20AC;? According to https:// news.usni.org/2014/07/23/coastguard-led-9-11-water-evacuationbigger-dunkirk, we understand that evacuation from Manhattan Island was aided by a multitude of boat pilots who worked for many hours to ferry stranded people from Manhattan Island to the mainland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The U.S. Coast Guard led a water evacuation of more than 500,000 people from Manhattan following the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on the World Trade Center towers in an action that moved more people from the island than the 1940 evacuation of Allied troops from France, according to an oral history of former USCG commandant, Adm. James Loy. Hundreds of thousands were trapped on the southern tip of the island unable to escape by bridge, Loy said. Tugs, ferries, New York police and fire boats and private vessels were used to evacuate the southern tip of Manhattan, Loy said.â&#x20AC;? Let us not forget our history and the heroes of that day. Let us be vigilant now and in the future. God bless America. Speaking of history, have you caught any of the recent programs on Iowa Public Television? There was a series on the American Presidents, a program about Winston Churchill and a documentary of the 9-11 terrorist attack at the Pentagon with interviews of people who lived through it. Remember, our website is www. sunnyviewil.com, and the coffee is always on.

September, 1936 80 Years Ago
The A & P store moved the first of the week from the corner of Main and Illinois street to Central Main in the Boldes building. The store puts on an entirely new appearance, with new shelving, new fixtures, and new decorations. A meat department is a new added feature in the store. Four new duck pin bowling alleys will soon be installed in the northwest corner building from which the A & P store will move this week, according to an announcement made by A. C. Van Sickle, manager in charge. Prices received by Iowa farmers for most farm commodities averaged higher than August 15 than on July 15, according to a report released
Drainage Code from page 1 Lande tried repeating language presented in the water works’ court arguments, that the utility wanted the courts to order the districts to abate a nuisance – namely the introduction of nitrates in to the Raccoon River. Mansfield interrupted Lande, asking for a more specific answer. Lande started again, and Mansfield broke in for a second time, again asking for a specific example of a remedy. “The drainage districts could change the way their ditches are structured, change their end of pipe, stop water during low-flow periods,” Lande said. “Pollution does not have to be an inherent part of drainage.” Removing any immunity from drainage districts – attorneys for the districts have argued that a century of legal precedent prevents anyone, including the water works, from seeking financial compensation from the districts – would incentivize farmers to implement more environmentally friendly practices, Lande said. The immunity has had the opposite effect on farmers for years, he argued, allowing farmers to send nitrates, from fertilizers, in to the rivers without consequence. “What if it costs less to remove nitrates at one place, where the water works removes nitrates (in its water treatment plant), than it would cost at the individual drainage districts” to implement new practices, Justice
Thomas Waterman asked. “At this stage of the case, it isn’t necessary for the court to resolve that issue,” Lande answered. “Des Moines Water Works is not suggesting that we rip up the drainage infrastructure in northwest Iowa and replace it with something else.” Later, during his rebuttal argument, Lande said the drainage districts are abandoning their duty to public health and safety by allowing pollutants to enter the watershed. Mike Reck, an attorney with the firm representing the districts in Calhoun, Buena Vista and Sac counties, took the podium to reiterate the counties’ arguments that the water works cannot sue the drainage districts and seek monetary damages. Reck said he was critical of federal court decision to have the state high court certify the questions, noting that the federal court seemed to understand what state law and precedent on the questions were, but that the federal judge just didn’t seem to like the answer. “You told us it’s right,” Reck said of state law and the financial protections for the drainage districts. “The Legislature has left it in place. If the Legislature wanted to overturn this doctrine, they could have. …These entities, drainage districts, are merely vehicles for effectuating the will of the legislators. Once there’s a decision that a drainage
district is created, you have two duties, restore flow if it’s plugged (or increase flow). We’re not allowed to slow flow.” What if a tiling crew performed work on a district and the landowners refused to pay for the work, Mansfield asked. Can that company owner not sue to get the money back? The owner could sue, Reck said, adding such a situation is covered by contract law, not tort law, which is the type of argument the water works has made. “Are the drainage districts doing anything different than they have for the last 100 years?” Chief Justice Mark Cady asked Reck. “No,” Reck said. “They are doing exactly what they have been instructed to do, which is drain water.” Reck also raised the question of whether a drainage district would even have to pay damages, a federal court ordered them to. After all, Reck said, districts are empowered with the remonstrance process, in which landowners in an effected district can come together and vote against improvements and other costs. Cady said the court would consider the arguments and issue a ruling at an indeterminate point in the future. The court has ruled as quickly as two weeks on some issues, taking much longer on others.
Monday by Leslie M. Carl, federal agriculture statistician. the farm price of corn advanced from 51c a bushel on June 15 to 76c on July 15 and the state average on August 15 was $1.06 a bushel. This is the highest farm price reported for Iowa corn on August 15 since 1920. Mr. and Mrs. Murry Peebles and Ole Miller drove to Atlantic today where President Roosevelt’s special train, enroute to Des Moines, made a short stop. They report that a crowd of four or five hundred people gathered at Atlantic to see the President who, according to the Lake City visitors is “a fine looking man, apparently in the pink of condition.” Cane Sugar, 10 Lb. cloth bag, 52c; Cracker Jacks, 3 1 3/4 oz. pkgs., 10c; Mild American Cheese, Lb., 23c —A&P Food Stores. Material to be used in the construction of culverts on No. 151 east of Lake City is being hauled to the place of work and already detour signs are erected directing traffic north at the east end of Main street, and activities on the paving project are already in progress. Gabble Tattle Prattle – Four local men plan to go to Minnesota on a fishing trip soon. The group will include a farmer - who knows how to catch fish, a butcher - who knows how to clean them, a café owner who knows how to fry them, and an office manager - who knows how to eat them. Truly an unbeatable combination.
Extensive remodeling and redecorating at the McVay Memorial hospital and at the hospital residence property east, has recently been completed and with the new arrangement, rooms which were much needed have been added. At the residence property, hardwood floors were laid, and all rooms redecorated. A new furnace was installed and each room will be individually heated. The upstairs was converted into sleeping quarters for the nurses, while the hospital kitchen and a few rooms for patients occupy the lower floor. A convenient passage way connects the two buildings. With the removal of the culinary department from the hospital proper, there is adequate room for about five more beds. Gabble Tattle Prattle – During a recent windstorm, a young fella on a farm east of town left the house and started quite urgently for one of the smaller buildings on the place. Just after he got out of the house a terrific gust of wind drove him into the woodshed. In a few minutes, thinking that the wind had subsided, he made a dash for his destination, but he was wrong about the wind! It had blown the “small edifice” right up to the woodshed to meet him. (It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good.) Rockwell City, Sept. 22 –Sheriff M. E. Dawson has been maintaining a rather “full house” of late. For weeks there have been eight to a dozen housed in the county jail, among them prisoners being housed for civ-
ic bodies other than Calhoun county. Since the recent jail deliveries at Sac City, and the Sac county sheriff declares that none but “drunks” will be placed in the Sac county jail, which he declares is little stouter than a “cow shed.” A sac county prisoner, Joe Johnston, was this week sentenced to serve ten years at Fort Madison after pleading guilty to the charge of larceny of an auto. The seriousness of the offense is increased by that fact that Johnston is a paroled man. Although the charge is being prosecuted on the grounds of only one theft, he is alleged to have stolen several cars and run them as long as they would give him service. His sentence was passed Monday, but he was returned to the Rockwell City jail for safekeeping until the Sac county deputy should take him to Ft. Madison later this week. Another occupant of the county “dormitory” is Walter Walker, of Lake City, who has been annoying Rockwell City householders by seeming to “peep” after nightfall. Walker’s explanation of this is that much of his bonus money was spent for “the cup that cheers” and as a consequence it was frequently impossible for him to find the residence in Rockwell City where he was supposed to be rooming. His “peeps” had no motive other than to locate his own dwelling place he declares. Visit us online tralSchool.com

Farm Bureau from page 1 “Anything that’s going to be paid to legal defense will be made public,” said Ben Albright of the Calhoun County Farm Bureau, following a meeting Sept. 13 with the Calhoun County Board of Supervisors. “We all knew this needed to be funded. Our membership is in favor of it.” Albright attended the meeting with the board accompanied by nearly 40 other farmers. He said earlier decisions to not be public about the Farm Bureau paying for some legal costs were made at the state level. Locally, he said, farmers understand the implications of any ruling against the county and the drainage districts. The Des Moines Water Works filed suit against the 10 districts, only one of which is in Calhoun County, in early 2015. The water works board, its CEO and its attorneys have argued that the use of drainage tiles in northwestern Iowa is contributing
to high levels of nitrates in the Raccoon River watershed, with the water works uses as a primary source of drinking water. Those high levels of nitrates in late 2014 and early 2015 caused the water works to run a denitrification plant more often than the organization had budgeted to do. Albright and a representative of the Iowa Farm Bureau told the supervisors they did not yet know if the offer would cover unpaid bills that have mounted in the past few months, since the withdrawal of the Agribusiness Association of Iowa. Representatives of the Sac and Buena Vista Farm Bureaus were meeting with those counties Sept. 13, too. The offer is open to each county individually, as well as collectively. “We’d really like you to take a strong look at this proposal,” Albright said. “We want the strongest, best defense we can have for our county.”
Farm Bureau members want to avoid placing the burden of the defense – which they said had topped $2 million – to fall on county taxpayers. Calhoun County drainage attorney David Wollenzien said the county had so far paid just $15,000 of its own money; officials have previously said that the law firm representing the counties, Belin McCormick, continued to work for the counties even after the Agricultural Defense Fund stopped paying the bills. Board members said they would not be able to act on the offer until after a meeting with supervisors from the other two counties in the suit. “All three counties have consistently taken the point that this lawsuit has to be won,” Wollenzien said. “We’re very grateful for the money we’ve had so far. We will look at this with a great deal of interest.”

Calhoun County Museum When sitting at the museum one Sunday, a group of people came in with Gabe Blaskovich to tour the area. The group was a class reunion, around fifteen, from Lohrville. Gabe is a great supporter of the museum and was anxious to have them see the many items in the machine shed, as well as the museum building. I am sure the Lohrville school trophy display created some interest. They spent several hours and during conversation I heard one say, “I saw my Dad’s yearbook and I never knew he went out for sports.” Looking in the registration book, we had around 50 people tour the museum during “Corn Daze”. Someone brought in a book about
a tornado in Pomeroy in 1895. There were so many interesting things about what happened during that storm. The book told how many survived, how many were killed, and those left behind who had nothing. Someone asked the railroad to send two sleeper cars, so they would have a shelter to pass out clothing and food in. At one time there were 40 doctors there. The museum has a big collection of bells at the entrance this year. They were donated by Bonnie Schopeke. Stop in and see the display. The Calhoun County Historical Museum is open Saturday and Sunday from 1-4 p.m.. Submitted by Lola Zimbeck

But after about a decade of caring for the flowers, especially the 30 minutes spent water the plants a few mornings a week, Stauter was tired, and passed the mantle on to Jane Johnson, whose mother, Mickey Goins, had owned a greenhouse in Lake City for many years. Stauter had purchased f lowers from the greenhouse Johnson and her daughter ran. As Johnson took over, she decided perennials would be a better choice than annuals, and began rearranging the look of the gardens, trying new plants that would bloom in different seasons.
“Trial and error” was how Johnson settled on plants for the gardens, she said. “What works one summer won’t work the next.” Lynn Dobson, who took over tending the garden from Johnson this year, with the help of Karen Willis, said he enjoys the surprises he finds while gardening. “It’s a matter of, every few days it changes,” he said. “Different flowers start blooming and others quit.” Dobson make a few decisions about what flowers should stay and which shouldn’t for next year. He motioned to a flowerbed on the foun-
Forty leaders from across Iowa, including Calhoun County’s Andrew Lauver of Lauver Agribusiness, LLC. & Lauver Family Farms, have been selected as members of the 2016-17 class of Leadership Iowa, the premier issues-awareness program of the Iowa Association of Business and Industry Foundation. The eight-month program is designed to foster a passion for civic engagement in current and emerging leaders. “We are excited to welcome a new group of our state’s brightest leaders to take part in this enriching program,” said Mike Ralston, president of the Iowa Association of Business and Industry and a 1991 graduate of Leadership Iowa. “For the past 34 years, Leadership Iowa has been helping to shape participants who

tain’s north side. “This was an aster over here,” he said. “It just took over. I eradicated it.” Two more asters – one purple, one white – remained in their f lowerbeds during a visit Friday morning, but Johnson and Dobson quietly discussed the merits of pulling the plants, which spread quickly. Johnson said she had tried, and pulled, other plants over the years that tried to dominate the flower beds. A heavy rainstorm left many of the fall blooms around the square looking a bit water logged Friday morn-
ing, but bright colors still remained – the dark yellow of black-eyed Susans, a purple hardy mum, one last stalk of pink snapdragons, covered in raindrops from Thursday night’s storms. Stauter, whose insurance office is on the square’s east side, walks around the fountain each morning to check out the flowers. And she occasionally hears from people in other parts of the state who drove through town and saw the colorful plants. “Coming in to town, it’s just wonderful to have this gorgeous view,” she said. “It’s amazing.”
have gone on to make great strides as leaders in our communities, our businesses and our state.” The 2016-17 class will travel to communities throughout the state for a series of two-day sessions from October through June. Topics covered during these sessions include agriculture and renewable energy, education, government, health care, economic development, advanced manufacturing and transportation. Since its inception in 1982, Leadership Iowa has graduated more than 1,000 people from both the private and public sector, representing each geographical region of Iowa. Each year, approximately 40 talented individuals are selected from a large applicant pool based on achieving the best balance of qualified candidates for a particular year.

SCC Titans roll to big win at Shenandoah, 64-22 By Doug Dornath South Central Calhoun amassed nearly 700 yards of total offense in its 64-22 varsity football victory at Shenandoah Friday, Sept. 16, as the Titans moved to 2-0 in Class 2A, District 7 play and to 3-1 overall. To be exact, the Titans had 688 total yards, including 491 yards rushing, while the SCC defense held Shenandoah to only 78 total yards in the contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a great night for the Titans,â&#x20AC;? said SCC head coach Bryan Case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a long road trip, but the kids came out focused and ready to play. A lot of kids got quality playing time, because we still have to continue building our depth. We have to keep pushing forwad and
work to get better every day.â&#x20AC;? The Titans scored five touchdowns in the first quarter and scored twice more in the second period to lead 48-0 at halftime at Shenandoah. SCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kody Case was responsible for three of the first period scores as the Titans first score of the contest was scored by its defense as Case recovered a Mustang fumble and returned it 36-yard as SCC led 6-0 with 10:43 remaining in the first period. Just over a minute later, SCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense was on the field for the first time and the Titans scored on its first offensive play of the game as Case hauled in a 65-yard touchdown reception from Hunter Muhlbauer, and a Jonathon Frantz 2-point conversion run made it 14-0 Titans with 9:21 left in the first quarter.
The Titansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third touchdown of the first quarter came on an Ashten Halvorsen 3-yard run with 4:45 left in the first period while Case scored his third touchdown of the contest with 1:43 remaining in the first period on a 77-yard run. With 12 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Chase McAlister helped make it a 34-0 lead on a 52-yard reception from Muhlbauer. In the second period, Frantz score on a 5-yard run with 7:05 left to go in the first half while Halvorsen added his second touchdown run of the game with 1:14 remaining in the half as the Titans led 48-0 at the break. In the third period, Shenandoah scored its first points of the game on a Nick Swanson 1-yard run with 7:17 left in the third period as he also added a two-point run, and with 5:04
remaining in the third period, Kyle Owens recovered a bad snap on a Titans punt attempt in the end zone for a touchdown with Swanson again scoring a two-point conversion to make it a 48-16 SCC advantage. SCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tanner Campbell scored the first points of the fourth period on a three-yard touchdown run with 11:57 remaining in the game, and Justin Dick added the two-point conversion run to make it a 56-16 Titan advantage. Shenandoah scored its final touchdown of the game on a Reece Kreifels 1-yard run with 10:29 remaining. SCC scored the final points of the contest with 6:36 left on a Justin Dick 3-yard run while Hunter Riedesel added a two-point conversion. Leading rusher for SCC in the contest was Case with four carries
for 118 yards. Case led in receptions with two for 88 yards. McAlister had three carries for 76 yards and one reception for 52 yards for SCC while Tanner Campbell finished with 13 carries for 70 yards rushing and Frantz was fourth on the team in rushing with seven carries for 65 yards. Tanner Fistler finished with 36 yards rushing against the Mustangs while Riedesel had 31 yards rushing and Tanner Macke had 28 rushing yards in the win. Dick ended the night with 23 rushing yards and Muhlbauer had 17 rushing yards and was 6-for-9 passing with 197 yards and two touchdowns. Cody Schumacher led the Titans defense with three solo tackles and four assisted tackles against Shenandoah, three of his tackles were for
losses. Tyler Jones finished with one solo tackle and nine assists along with one tackle for a loss. Also having a tackle for a loss were Logan Fonken, Brian King, Joey Schrage and Jacob Schultz. Brendan Henkelman had six assisted tackles while Macke finished with five. SCC returns home this Friday night, Sept. 23, for Homecoming 2016 and will host Clarinda at 7 p.m. in Lake City. Clarinda is 0-2 in district play and 0-4 overall as the Cardinals fell to Kuemper Catholic at home last Friday night 49-8.
