English River Watershed Management Authority seeks to prevent future flooding and water quality issues

By CJ Eilers News Editor The English River watershed, which partially loops down the northern edge of Keokuk County, contains approximately 639 sq miles and is home to an estimated 21,700 Iowans in Keokuk, Poweshiek, Iowa, Johnson, and Washington Counties. Of the 1,400 miles of streams and tributaries in the watershed, which is an area where drainage goes into a waterbody, 60 percent of the landscape is used for row-crop production.

However, in recent decades, flooding has impacted the English River watershed, especially in Kalona in 2008. Communities in Keokuk County, such as Keswick, Webster, Gibson and Kinross lie near the watershed, and while they are not in any immediate danger of flooding, heavy rains have washed phosphorus-rich top soil and an excessive amount of nitrates into the waterways. This affects water quality for residents of these areas, along with those who live further down as far away as the Gulf of Mexico.

After the 2008 flooding in Kalona, local leaders gathered to discuss what could be done to combat flooding in the system. The

This table shows the six “subwatersheds” in Keokuk County and includes the cities located in each area, as well as test results from each.

State of Iowa authorized a “watershed authority” to form and help research the English River watershed. The entity created was the English River Watershed Management Authority, which is represented by all the counties listed above. Individual towns, such as Keswick, also have individual representation with English River WMA. Those towns inside the watershed are invited, but not required to be members of the Authority.

Jody Bailey was hired to create the English River WMA in 2013, when they began a large assessment of planning project to find ways to keep flooding from growing severe and seeing where phosphorus/nitrate levels were at their highest. The assessment was completed in 2015, with varying results. While Keokuk County does not have the largest area in the watershed, concerns are still present.

“Before we began this assessment, we knew very little about the English River,” Bailey said.

“We’ve learned a lot through collecting samples, and monitoring streams. One concern we have is for flooding in the South English River area, and phosphorus/nitrate levels in Poweshiek County near Gibson. While we’re not seeing these areas as vulnerable per say, we are developing goals to reduce flooding severity and make sure our water quality is up to standards.”

After conducting the assessment, Bailey and the watershed authority created a set of improvement goals: Reduce nitrate loading in the English River watershed from urban and agricultural landscapes by 41% from 2010, reduce phosphorus loading in the English River water by 29% from 2010 levels, reduce sediment loading in the English River

Watershed by 30%, continue to monitor water quality parameters, educate and promote the best management practices that reduce runoff and hold water, expand their partnerships and membership into the English River WMA. “Best management practices are ways people can use their landscape to keep runoff and flooding from being an issue,” Bailey said.

“Farm ponds, pastures, wetlands and buffers keep rain from building up into the watershed and flooding it. For urban areas, you can create a rain garden that will allow plants to absorb water into their soil, and don’t over apply fertilizer and chemicals that get into our water system.”

Mick Berg, Chairman of the Keokuk County Board of Supervisors, represents the county at the watershed authority. With several county towns inside the water-

Keokuk County Health Center discusses growth during board meeting

By CJ Eilers News Editor The Board of Trustees for the Keokuk County Health Center (KCHC) held their monthly meeting on Thursday, Sept. 29, where they discussed the exponential growth since moving upstairs into the rural clinic.

After calling the meeting to order and approving the agenda, Board Chair Jim Eschenbrenner proposed that the Board adopt the use of a Consent Agenda beginning next month. Eschenbrenner explained that having a Consent Agenda would allow approval of multiple agenda items at once, unless a Board member requests a certain item be discussed separately. The Board approved the idea unanimously, and will implement the Consent Agenda during their next meeting October 27.

The Department of Inspection and Appeals and Fire Marshal has approved both the hospital and rural clinic, reporting very minor changes addressing alarms that needed to be moved away from certain vents. These issues have been addressed, according to CEO Matt Ives and

Director of Ambulance and Ancillary Services Casey Thompson. During the financial report, Ives reported earnings for KCHC were $25,543 for August. Inpatient revenue was reported at $232,997 and out patient revenue was $891,283. August proved to be a strong month because of the new rural health clinic upstairs.

The Board approved the report unanimously.

Casey Thompson gave the Buildings and Grounds report.

Crews are finishing up the new storm drainage system, which will include bigger intakes. According to Thompson, the project had to be done in phases because of the concrete involved.

The new ambulance garage is also near completion, as it will now need wiring and a concrete approach. Keokuk County Health Clinic is nearly completed upstairs. Signs are informing people where to go inside the building and there is less confusion. The two outdoors signs are to be replaced, as they are “yellowing” and the light in front of one is not working properly.

shed, Berg feels it’s essential for everyone to come to the table and listen to what is being discovered about the English River watershed.

“I am concerned about water quality and soil conservation,” Berg said. “[Keokuk County] needed a representative, and I feel it’s worthwhile. If we do our part, we can slow the water down, which prevents flooding using ponds, terraces. Any little method helps.”

“We are not here to set off any alarms in the community. We just want to make people aware of how they can help reduce future flooding, which can cause thousands of dollars in damage. The more people we can bring to our table, the better off all the counties and their cities will be.”

Board of Supervisors vacates two rural properties Jodi Greiner of Keota

Ron Kurtz of Sigourney

By CJ Eilers News Editor With the resignation of Keokuk County Health Center Board of Trustees members Brian Horras and Tony Latcham, the remaining board members invited Jodi Greiner and Ron Kurtz to fill in the vacancies until they can be formally elected in November.

Jodi Greiner of Keota chose to join the Board because she wanted to be more involved in the community, and saw the hospital as one way of doing so. Greiner feels KCHC is thriving, and wants to be a part of continuing the success. She and her husband Chris have three sons, Gage, Petter and Sammy, loves SK Cobra football, and their Hawkeyes too. Greiner currently works at MidwestOne Bank in Sigourney.

Ron Kurtz of Sigourney has a previous family tie to the Board of Trustees. His father served on the Board until suddenly passing away in 1999, when Brian Horras stepped in. With Horras retiring, Kurtz says he felt obligated to be part of the board like his father. Kurtz believes that KCHC has been proactive in recent years and has lead them to becoming a strong business because of that. As a member of the Board, he wants KCHC to remain proactive and progressive, as he feels it sustains not only KCHC, but Sigourney and Keokuk County as well. Kurtz farms just outside of Sigourney, near Dumont Museum. When not hard at work, Kurtz works on his 1972 Chevy Nova, enjoys welding, and getting to know people.

Greiner, Kurtz chosen for KCHC Board of Trustees

By CJ Eilers News Editor The Keokuk County Board of Supervisors met on Monday, Oct. 3 for their regular board meeting and also held two public hearings for vacating properties.

The first property is “a portion of the road right of way in the northwest quarter of the southwest quarter lying south of the centerline of 295th Street, except the north 40 feet thereof and excluding Auditor’s Parcel A,” according to the minutes.

The county has no need for the excess right of way, but adjacent landowners and tenants felt they would be unable to get onto their fields. The decision to approve vacating the portion of road was tabled until the landowners could come to an agreement.

The second property “is the road right of way of all that part of 300th Avenue from the north right of way line of 200th Street north approximately 1 mile to the south right of way line of BOARD MEETING to page 2

The Greatest Pirate Story Never Told comes to the stage on Thursday, October 6.

A Swashbuckling Adventure at The Greatest Pirate Story Never Told “Pirates of the Caribbean” meets “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” with a splash of “Monty Python” and even some “Mad Libs” tossed into the mix – The Greatest Pirate Story Never Told is a swashbuckling musical adventure for the whole family! The Greatest Pirate Story Never Told comes to the George Daily Auditorium stage on Thursday, October 6 at 7:00 p.m.

Flung into the future by a musical-loving Sea Witch, a crew of misfit pirates-turned-actors must now perform the greatest pirate epic ever seen on stage! But when their script is partially destroyed by squid link, the crew must turn to the audience to fill in the missing plot. Cast members will improvise their musical adventure, seamlessly weaving the audience suggestions into scenes, songs, and more! Full of swordplay and wordplay with a boatload of laughs for pirates age 4 to 104, this musical pirate adventure is great for both kids and grown-ups.

“I think everyone should come to this show,” said Andy McGuire, the Education Director. “It’ll be a great experience to see improvisation in action. I mean, it’s pirates, it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

The Greatest Pirate Story Never Told is the first performance of the

20th season at the George Daily Auditorium. The first professional show the auditorium brought to Oskaloosa was the Dixie Power Trio in the fall of 1997. Over twenty seasons, the auditorium has presented more than 200 professional performances of a variety of genres.

“There’s a lot of people who can’t normally access professional performing arts in Oskaloosa and surrounding communities. I’m so proud of what we’ve been able to do,” said Randall Wright, who has been the Executive Director of the George Daily Auditorium for 17 years.

Season tickets for the 20th season are available now. A season ticket guarantees you a seat of your choice to all the shows in the professional touring season at a 10% discount.

Season tickets are $105 for adults and $45 for students.

HEALTH CENTER from page 1 Stuhr gave her report, and announced that all nursing positions have been filled. She reported that while work has been hectic since the opening of the rural clinic, staff has worked hard even with being short staffed. CNA Janice Weber will retire after 16 years with KCHC and Stuhr is already looking for potential candidates. KCHC is also looking to hire a Phlebotomist.

For the Ambulance/Ancillary Director Report, Thompson said there was little to report. Ambulance Services is interviewing paramedics to fill in vacancies, but they have yet to find a candidate that fits their needs.

Thompson concluded the report by saying they have received 612

calls on the year, 58 in September as of September 29.

Human Resources Director Annette Shafranek discussed that several events are coming up for KCHC and KCHC Auxiliary. First, on October 14, the rural clinic will host an open house from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. On October 20, the Auxiliary will host the “Books are Fun” fundraiser in the Auxiliary lobby.

Ives reported that Mammography mobiles services through Mercy will be discontinued on December 31 and alternatives will be explored.

The University of Iowa Health Care has established Cardiology services on Friday, Orthodontics on Wednesdays, and Pulmonary on the first Wednesday of each month.

The upstairs rural clinic has an area for these providers and downstairs as well. With no further comment from the Board, the meeting was adjourned.

BOARD MEETING from page 1 190th Street,” according to the minutes. The one-mile dirt road is located near four landowners who have communicated between each other. The Board approved vacating the road.

The Board held their regular meeting with Keokuk County Engineer Andrew McGuire. After considering applications for a full time Equipment Operator, McGuire recommended the Board approve the hiring of Jacob Wonderlich for the position. His hiring was approved and will begin on October 17 with a pay of $19.83 during the six-month probation period.

Heads from several of the county offices joined in on the Board’s discussion of a new real estate/tax software program called Tyler 10.

The new program is an enhancement of the current system in place at the county courthouse. Each county office has expressed interest in the program, which would cost the county around $260,000 over two years, possibly more or less.

Concerns about the cost and other needs led the Board to table the decision to buy it.

John Ogden

John D Ogden (age 64) of What Cheer, Iowa passed away peacefully at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa on Sunday September 25, 2016 after a strong battle against cancer.

John was born January 14, 1952 to Wilson Dean and Julia Ogden. He graduated from Tri-County High School in 1970 and attended Drake University. He worked construction in Des Moines and later returned to What Cheer to partner with his dad in running the family business; Ogden Oil Company. John was the third generation to own and operate Ogden Oil Company and did so for almost 40 years.

To many, he was known as “big John”. His massive size made him quite recognizable and his kindness and generosity was as big as he was. He was active in many organizations in the community over his lifetime such as What Cheer City Council, Lions Club, Commercial Club, Keokuk County Fair Board, and What Cheer Ball.

He married Berdette Walston on November 28, 1987. They shared a great life together for 28 years. On weekends, John liked sitting with Berdette on their deck enjoying the morning. John and Berdette were blessed with what John considered to be three amazing kids; Logan, Erin, and Zoe. He was very proud of their accomplishments and loved each of them very much.

SADC Raffle Operational Manager Matt Stockdale hands over the keys to Brothers Market manager Rick Landgrebe

Sue Merz, representing the Keokuk County Hospice Foundation, accepts a raffle ticket from Judy Frank, Administrative Assistant of Sigourney Area Development. Keokuk County Hospice was the winner of last year’s SADC Raffle. Jeff Graff of Sinclair Tractor sold the winning ticket to the Hospice.

Landgrebe will be a key Hedrick City Council meeting to Brother’s Market success

Amie Van Patten Regional Editor Brothers Market is in full swing at their new location in Sigourney.

With Sigourney being the seventh store opened, this chain store also has locations in Cascade, Grundy Center, Lisbon, Parkersburg, and Denver, IA as well as Tonganoxie, KS owned by brothers Jared, Jay and Darian DeVries.

Operational Manager Matt Stockdale has been at the Sigourney location and is now handing over the keys to Rick Landgrebe, who was named manager of the Sigourney Brother’s Market and took over this position on October 3.

With this change will come a new interior as well as exterior look, but the one thing you can expect is a great experience by shopping local.

With over 22 years in the grocery business, Landgrebe said, “I am coming home to serve my town and the people I love.”

Landgrebe is excited to be more involved in the community. With an already well-developed staff, he says he is confident that the customer service will be second to none. He

hopes that more locals will notice the deals that will be offered and will utilize the special orders such as meat and cheese trays.

Brother’s offers a full service meat counter and will provide custom meat orders for restaurants and local shoppers, as well as large custom orders for special events and more.

With 20 years of meat counter experience, Landgrebe will be working with the staff to help provide more variety when it comes to special order cuts. Brother’s also offers courteous carry out and in town delivery.

With a small delivery charge of $2, Brother’s will deliver your groceries right to your doorstep.

Another great feature of Brother’s is their seasonal grilling every Tuesday and Friday at a low cost for a grab and go meal. Brothers will also still offer a deli section with seating available. With prices adjusted to compete with larger franchise companies, Brother’s will still offer the small town experience. To keep up to date, you can visit Brothers Market Sigourney on Facebook for all of the local up to date deals as well as health information and recipes.

By CJ Eilers News Editor The Hedrick City Council held their monthly meeting on Monday, Oct. 3 in the Hedrick Public Library.

Secretary Ann Spilman reported that the city earned $68,383.24 in September. $64,088.28 was reported for city expenses.

Shea Earlywine from J & S Electronic Business Services came to discuss with the council about a new computer maintenance system. The city is buying coverage for six computers, including two new computers and the four computers they already have.

Spilman will receive one of the new computers, while the city librarian will use the other new computer. The library will get the older computers to allow students to study their homework. The agreement with J & S includes 24/7 monitoring and response within one hour or remote help if a problem doesn’t require techs to come out. They will also update the library anti-virus and firewall. The cost to the city will be $380/month.

City attorney John Wehr sent a discovery question to Paws and Claws over issues with animal control. In legal terms, a discovery is the formal process that information from the opposing side is gathered, without being under oath. No other updates were available at the meeting.

Norris Asphalt replied and said that street improvements to Lake, Spring and West Streets will happen this fall. No time is set for completion as of October 3.

Spilman collected suggestions for how to use The Keokuk County Endowment Fund for Hedrick. Ideas that were made included updates to

the bathrooms in the city hall/library, working on removing gravel and bushes in the front of city hall and library, and setting up an Internet access point on water tower for wi-fi security cameras and more points if needed. A suggestion for new city signs outside Hedrick was also brought forth.

As the meeting came to a close, the council discussed their current snow plow on one of the city trucks.

According to Mayor Crawford, the current plow is “junk” and the blade was old when bought. The council looked at new plows in a BOSS catalog. A recommendation was made for a new V-blade plow, but only discussed. With no public comment, the meeting was adjourned.

OPINION/EDITORIAL Tales of the Ancient Sportsman

By Burdell Hensley My heroes have always been cowboys. Willie Nelson sings those words so well and they are so true. As a young boy, I relished a Saturday night at the Globe Theatre in Griswold, IA. Often the Saturday night menu featured the cowboys of the silver screen and most of the kids in the area would be there.

The theatre was a great service to parents, as they were able to do their shopping and visiting while the kids were at the movie.

Roy was the “King of the Cowboys”, but Gene and Hoppy were not far behind. Not long after I fell in love with the cowboys of the silver screen, I found some new heroes. We moved into our first house that had electricity and my parents bought a little electric radio. Each evening I listened to Harry Carey and the Cardinals on KFEQ St. Joe, MO. Suddenly I had some new heroes like Stan the Man, Red Schoendist, Enos Slaughter and others. But I refused to give up my cowboy heroes.

This past week I spent Thursday and Friday immersed in the Cowboy culture as I visited Custer State Park in the Black Hills of South Dakota for the annual Buffalo Roundup. During the week before the buffalo are driven out of the hills and down to the lower part of the park. On Friday morning they begin to move them toward the corrals with the plan to get them into the corrals before noon.

This is an unbelievable spectacle and I could not believe the size of the crowd. It was stated that the parking would begin at 6:15 a.m., so I left the motel at 5:00 a.m. I arrived at the park entrance at 5:45 a.m. and headed down the wildlife loop.

I crested a big hill and traffic came to a stop. All you could see was a ribbon of red tail lights. I got in line and watched a beautiful sunrise as I waited. I finally got to the parking lot at 7:30 a.m. and the distance from where I started to the parking lot was eight miles. This was just the line to the north viewing area and there was an equal sized lineup at the south viewing area as well as 40 or 50 busses. All busses were sent to the south area. The crowd estimate for the event was between 15,000 and 20,000.

After the cowboys, cowgirls and ATV’s drove the 1300 buffalo into the corrals, the circus began. The buffalo each received their shots, the calves were separated and branded and some of the adult buffalo were up for auction. I took the shuttle bus down to the corral where food was available and you could get real close to those huge beasts. But the fence was always between me and the buffalo.

I will definitely be going back with a bus load next year. We will do the Buffalo Roundup, the lighting ceremony at Mt. Rushmore and the Wild Horse Sanctuary for sure. I picked up a flyer on the Wild Horse Sanctuary at the motel and decided to go check it out. This is an amazing place and an amazing story. Over 700 wild horses have been rescued and turned loose to run free on 1400 acres of mountain wilderness. Our tour guide took us through the range to several herds and told of much of the Native American lore on the ranch including cliff writings and some dwelling places.

I was able to get on the road for home around 3:00 p.m. and once I got to I-90 it was full speed ahead. The interstate speed limit in South Dakota is 80 mph and I turned Miss Scarlet, the sassy red Prius loose. She got the cobwebs and the carbon blown out.

It was Friday night and you know where I usually am on Friday night. It was about 6:00 p.m. as I approached the little village of Presho, SD and I noticed Friday night lights. Miss Scarlet

Tales of the Ancient Sportsman

By Burdell Hensley Columnist veered to the exit and soon I was pulling into the football field of the Lyman County Raiders. It was homecoming night and the Raiders were hosting the Phillip Scotties.

Both schools had less than 100 students in high school and the number of players on each team was not many. I ask a fan if it was an 8-Man game and he told me that the small schools in South Dakota play 9-Man Football, but they do not use a smaller field. The two guards are eliminated so they have a center, two tackles and two ends on the line and a full backfield.

On a full 100 yard field there is a lot of ground for nine players to cover and if a team has speed, they are very hard to deal with. The Scotties had speed and the Raiders didn’t. The Phillip running back was unstoppable and he went around end or off tackle for seven first half touchdowns. It was 54-0 at halftime and the Raiders were ready to start the homecoming dance early. The band was good, but the football, not so much. I headed on down the road at halftime.

It was harvest time in South Dakota and in the east part of the state the beans were pouring through the combines along with some corn. In the west central part of the state it was grain sorghum and sun flowers.

I was impressed as I left the hotel Thursday morning. The heads of the sun flower plants were bowing toward the sun. I thought to myself that there is a spiritual application here. As we get close to harvest time, our heads should bow toward the Son every morning.

It is time to see what happened in our yesterdays.

100 years ago: Oct. 9, 1916 – Oskaloosa overwhelmed Knoxville 68-0 and Fremont topped Sigourney 187. Oct. 14 – Penn trampled Central 69-6 with Oldham and Utterback starring on offense 75 years ago: Oct. 8 – Lacey belted Rose Hill 9-5 behind the pitching of Fred Hite. Ray DeWitt blasted a triple to lead the offense. Oct. 9 – Dale Elliott tossed a one-hitter as What Cheer thumped Eddyville 9-1. Oct. 11Ralph Scharff pitched and batted Cedar to a 7-1 District Baseball win over Diagonal. Oct. 11- Sigourney beats Bloomfield 6-0 for its first win as Bud Kriese scored the lone touchdown.

Oct. 12- Worth McCracken had the only hit as Cedar was bumped from the tourney by Martensdale 7-1. Oct. 13- What Cheer is the Keokuk County Baseball champion as they whipped Martinsburg 20-6 and Webster 9-4 in the final four. Elliott and Armstrong led the attack.

50 years ago: Oct. 15, 1966 – Oskaloosa beat Davis County 26-2 for a homecoming win. Craig Muhl broke the school passing record in the win.

Oct. 15- Keota and Sigourney battle to a 6-6 tie. Keota scored first on a two yard dived by Steve Hammes. Sigourney answered with a one yard plunge

by Ken Arduser.

25 years ago: Oct. 12, 1991- North Mahaska beats Twin Cedars 12-2 in a rugged homecoming battleNM scored on a four yard run by Travis Smith and a 21 yard screen pass from Brian Thomas to Travis Hanselman.

The harvest is well underway and those mountains of gold are beginning to appear. Keep up the good work folks and have a great week.

Just reminiscing

By Hilda Souer Do you ever clip something from a newspaper to save for re-reading or to save?... or perhaps to use for some brief program? Well, this is something I’ve done for several years and lost or put away for “some day.”

Then, when looking for something else, my lost item is often found. The following is something I’d put away for a quick program and was not found when needed! The following is what I temporarily lost.

Beatitudes for friends of the aged!

Blessed are they who with a cheery smile stop to chat for a while; Blessed are they who never say, “You’ve told that story twice today.”

Blessed are they who understand my faltering step and palsied hand.

Blessed are they who seem to know my eyes are dim and my mind now is slow.

Blessed are they who know my ears today must strain to catch the words they say.

Blessed are they who make it known that I’m Loved, Respected, and not alone.

Blessed are they who listen to my words, even though maybe it’s just for the birds.

Blessed are they who might remember – once we were there for them ever so tender.

Blessed are they who know I’m at a loss to find the strength to bear the cross.

Blessed are those who ease the days on my long journey home in loving ways.

Letter to the editor

What if we changed our Election Process to a Selection Process? If a qualified person wanted to fill a government office from president to dogcatcher, he would place his name in the hat. On Selection Day, a name would be selected from the hat and that person would do the job for one or two terms. The Selection Process eliminates all political ads on TV, radio, phones, lawns, etc. It does away with political parties.

It levels the field for women and minorities. They have just as good of a chance to have their name drawn as the rich white guy. No influence peddling, back scratching and most lobbying.

By the way, this would cost nothing.

Joni Ernst, Bruce Braley and two or three others spent an estimated 60 million dollars to fill Tom Harkins senate seat. If they had drawn one of their names from the hat, they would have had a qualified senator at a cost of nothing. We know they were qualified or they would not

have been on the ballot.

To get a new president, they could poll all of the seated governors and ex governors and see if they would be interested in being president. Governors have lots of experience leading a large number of people, and of course they would have to meet all the legal qualifications-age, citizenship, residency, etc.

Personalities would not be a factor. We are not crowning a king; we are looking for someone to lead our country.

So the next time you are enjoying a great meal or watching a good movie and you get called to the phone to take a short survery about the election, think about this Letter to the editor.

Camp: Mary reported this year’s camp girls were easy to work with and very appreciative.

Philanthropy: No report Cheer: Throughout the summer Pat sent 14 get well cards and 10 sympathy cards.

The auditing committee will give a report at the next meeting.

Tip night at the Pizza Ranch was discussed. Karen will ask Cherie to explore some possible dates.

Discussion was held about making a donation to the Project Fund

to assist them in their current financial struggles. A motion was made to donate $200 to the Project Fund.

Motion was seconded and passed.

Bills: A bill in the amount of $19.60 was presented for postage to be used by the cheer committee. A motion was made to accept the bill. Motion passed.

City of Sigourney approves Tobacco Compliance Agreement, Trick or Treat Night

By CJ Eilers News Editor The Sigourney City Council met on Wednesday, Sept. 14 for one of their two meetings each month.

The Council and Police Chief Allan Glandon discussed and approved a 28E agreement to have a minor go around to local businesses to purchase tobacco, alternative nicotine or vapor products, all of which require you to be the age of 18 to purchase. Businesses caught selling these products to the underage person will be reported to their licenser and to the State of Iowa, and risk losing their right to sell these products. According to Chief Glandon, a business in Sigourney has not failed since the late 90s, back when the Food and Drug Administration ran this enforcement program. The State of Iowa now is responsible for paying the Sigourney Police Department to carry out this program.

Trick or Treat Night for residencies in Sigourney will take place on Monday, October 31 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. A trick or treat event will also be held on the Sigourney square at a date to be announced later.

All public works employees of the City of Sigourney will attend a safety meeting, sponsored by the Keokuk County High Department.

The event takes place on Friday, Sept. 30 from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Don Northrup, Director of Public Works, will attend the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities 22nd Annual Water and Wastewater Operators Training Workshop on November 15-17. All cost for both events are covered by the City.

Iowa Newspaper Foundation scholarships for students preparing for careers in media 2017- 2018 Academic Year

This past flea market had more vendors that in the past with most staying through Sunday

Flea Markets raise community funds Amie Van Patten Regional Editor Another year of the flea market has passed. From September 29 to October 2, the town of What Cheer was flooded with what the locals call “fleas”-those who come to sell or find a deal at the yearly Flea Market, that is.

Although some come looking for treasure, some just come to volunteer. Beyond the sales, many clubs and organizations work in order to raise money for their group. These groups include the fair board, Delta Ruritans, Town and Country, English River, What Cheer Community Club, What Cheer fireman, Keswick ball, Lion’s Club, Peter Britton and Tri- County Community Schools.

Each of these organizations are allotted a certain amount of slots to have filled and when working them, the money profited is then divided and given to each organization to put towards their events.

What Cheer Community Club is one of the newer clubs to join and they use their funds mainly to put on activities sponsored by the club during the Fourth of July as well as helping pay for the fireworks display.

These clubs are always looking for volunteers to help during the Flea Market and Fair. If you would like to help, contact a member of any of those organizations.

Clubs and organizations work shifts at the Flea market for community projects

During harvest season, many farmers reap the benefits of advancement in agricultural technology. With the help of GPS auto-steer devices, farmers are able to decrease driver error and maximize productivity. Yet despite these advances, safety risks remain. September 18-24 is National Farm Safety and Health Week, and to help farmers stay out of harm’s way, Safe Electricity shares tips for a safe harvest.

GPS with auto-guidance provide farmers with real-time, accurate location data about a field, which can be used for crop planning, map making, navigation assistance, and machinery guidance. During harvest, this technology allows drivers to have their hands off the steering wheel as the combine maneuvers itself through the field. Thanks to this technology, farmers can more easily and efficiently maintain accuracy even during low light conditions, which enhances productivity.

“One critical part of safety around electricity is awareness,” explains Kyla Kruse, communications director of the Safe Electricity program.

“It’s important to remember that farm machinery is vulnerable to hitting power lines because of its large size, height, and extensions. Being aware of the location of overhead power lines and planning a safe equipment route can help reduce accidents.”

In equipment with auto-guidance systems, less focus is needed on steering, which may lead some drivers to think that they do not need to be as aware of navigation issues.

However, even while using a GPS with auto-steering, farm workers need to keep safety in mind and stay focused on their surroundings.

Putting safety first requires alertness, focus, and knowledge of potential hazards and safety steps.

Varying pass-to-pass accuracy levels and potential issues, such as power poles not being correctly plotted in the system, reinforce the need for drivers to stay focused on the location of the farm equipment while in the field and to be ready to take action if necessary.

Regardless the technology used on the farm, keep the following electrical safety guidelines in mind: Use a spotter when operating large machinery near lines.

Keep equipment at least 10 feet from lines at all times, in all directions.

Look up and use care when moving any equipment such as extending augers or raising the bed of grain trucks around power lines.

Inspect the height of farm equipment to determine clearance.

Always set extensions to the lowest setting when moving loads to prevent contact with overhead lines.

Grain augers should always be positioned horizontally before being moved.

Never attempt to move a power line out of the way or raise it for clearance.

If a power line is sagging or low, contact your utility.

If equipment does make contact with a power line, do not leave the cab. Immediately call 911, warn others to stay away, and wait for the utility crew to cut the power.

The only reason to exit equipment that has come into contact with overhead lines is if the equipment is on fire, which is rare. However, if this is the case, jump off the equipment with your feet together and without touching the ground and machinery at the same time. Then, still keeping feet together, hop to safety as you leave the area.

For more information on electrical safety, visit SafeElectricity.org.

Use caution on unprotected streets, without stop or yield signs.

Give right-of-way.

Pekin announces Homecoming Court and school events

By CJ Eilers News Editor Homecoming 2016 continued with the Pekin High School Homecoming crowning of Queen Bonnie Becker and King Malcolm Myers, with the festivities continuing through October 7.

Sunday, Oct. 2 kicked off Homecoming Week with Powder Puff from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the football field. Seniors were matched against freshman, and sophomores and juniors squaring off. The upperclass emerged victorious in the first round, setting up a match between the two classes. A last minute touchdown by the junior girls sealed the deal, though the seniors made a valiant effort to score with only around 15 seconds on the clock. Warrior Volleyball followed 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the high school gym, where the same matchups were set. Again, the junior class won the day, and the bragging rights in the hallways.

With the excitement of the games over, the football team auctioned off their senior jerseys to raise money of new jerseys in the future. Not one, not two, but three Michael Hadleys spoke about legacy, acknowledging that Pekin Schools, which has been in existence for 55 years, has built its own and all encouraged the students to create their own. Michael Hadley Senior, Vice Chairman for the Keokuk County Board of Supervisors, spoke of starting a fund for supporting students as they graduate from the system.

This year’s Homecoming Court consisted of Ryan Millikin, Garret Greiner, Malcolm Myers, Zach Con-

Queen Bonnie Becker and King Malcolm Myers ger, Brad Pregon, Tyler Copland, Aspen Clark, Mackenzie Martin, Shea Dalhstrom, Emily Hadley, Bonnie Becker and Makayla Hammes. Last year’s Homecoming Queen, Madi Lathrop, presented King Malcolm

Myers and Queen Bonnie Becker with their sash and crown after each was announced.

Bonnie Becker is the daughter of Becky Conger of Ollie and Aaron Becker of Kansas City. She is in-

volved in track, cross country, FFA and Yearbook. Her future plans are to attend college to be a CNA and eventually a nurse. Malcolm Myers is the son of Mike and Jenny Myers of Packwood. He participates in cross country, track, FFA and HD. In his free time, Malcolm enjoys riding horses. His future plans are to attend Iowa State and study Animal Science.

Even with school out Monday for the district, students decorated the halls for Homecoming from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. When school resumed Tuesday, students dressed up for a big trip on “Tourist Day” for their first dress-up day. Homerooms were also being provided colors and brushes for sidewalk square painting to be completed by the end of the week. Wednesday is “Disney Day,” and students will show off their inner Walt Disney by continuing to work on their square paintings. “Frat Day” is Thursday, but the administration clarifies to dress preppy; no togas allowed. For the junior high, they can break out the controllers for “Video Game Day.” Last but not least, Friday is Spirit Day, with a parade outside the school starting at 1:45 p.m., videos in the gym, a pep assembly, announcements of all band, musical, cheerleader, cross county, volleyball and football participants, along with a few words from the coaches and sponsors. The FFA Cook Off will begin at 5 p.m., followed by the football game against Winfield-Mount Union at 7 p.m.

Finally, students can returned to the school at 9:30 p.m. for the Homecoming Dance.

The old Masonic Lodge in Martinsburg

Amie Van Patten Regional Editor This is the ninth installment of our weekly look at the various towns in Keokuk County and the surrounding areas. We will look at the unique history of the towns, as well as compare and contrast the then and now for each town. This will be a collaborative effort from all of us here at The News-Review and Keota Eagle. We hope it will provide a great insight into the towns that make up our communities.

Martinsburg was named after Daniel Martin, a gentleman who laid out and sold land lots in 1855. With two railroads running east and west-the Central Iowa and Burlington Westand two churches-the Methodist and Presbyterian-as well as a schoolhouse that housed 160, this town was located on two acres of high rolling ground and accommodated eight to ten thousand people.

Throughout the years, the town had a flowing well owned by Dr. A.N Gowe that tested the medical properties of water with healing power.

Martinsburg was also home to a tile factory, creamery, broom factory, steady run mills, J.M. Richardson, Dr. Mallonee, Samuel Pollock, grain elevator, Dr. A.N Gowe, Fleener and McCreery, Mrs. A.W. Glass, Glass Bros, W.C. Cathey, Shanafelt and Gaston, the commercial house.

The Billiard Parlor, Eyestone Bros., and Martinsburg Journal were a few of the well-known companies throughout Martinsburg history.

The Martinsburg Journal was

published weekly on Thursday with a subscription price of $1 a year when first published on July 9, 1855.

Horrace Greeley was the first to issue the paper.

Just 16 years after the first settlement, Mt. Zion church was built and was well attended. In 1976, the decision was made to restore and Harold skinner began work on the building.

In 1859, a committee organized the Presbyterian Church, which stood until the mid 30’s. The Hopewell church was organized in 1865. A frame church was erected in the fall of 1868 for the expense of $1,200 and dedicated in the winter of 1868. In 1962, the building was destroyed by high winds. The Methodist church first appeared in the annual conference in 1859. In 1861, the building was completed and in 1867, a bell and bell tower were added. In 1886, the church was destroyed by a windstorm and in 1887, and a new church was built. In 1924, a complete basement was put under the church.

In 1886, William Jones informed the public that he would be manufacturing hay stackers for the low price of eight dollars.

In 1898, the first bank was incorporated in Martinsburg. In 1915, the bank remodeled and put in elegant woodwork and new floors. During this time, business was booming.

However, frozen assets caused a suspension in 1926 and in 1928, the bank closed and the three buildings were sold. One used for a lodge room, one for a barbershop and the last for an office and general work-

what are you grateful for?

The Cobras have been led all season by the big boys up front who have helped them establish one of the most dominant rushing attacks in the state thus far. SK has always depended on their offensive line historically, and the success of each season has always been dictated by the athletes they have up front, and their ability to control the line of scrimmage. This year is no different as they have controlled things up front and have sparked a 5-1 mark thus far. Five seniors in the bunch help make this such an experienced group of guys, but there is of course some youth mixed in there as well. They have good size, but more importantly with the offense that SK runs they have excellent speed, which in many ways makes up for a lack of size. The Cobras had 460 plus yards on the ground this past week between five different runners and were led by these guys up front throughout this one. That is why the entire offensive line is your football athlete of the week a much-deserved honor for each and every one of these young men.

Volleyball

Audrey Grove, English Valleys

Audrey Grove is the volleyball athlete of the week, with her fantastic play on Saturday, Oct. 1 at New London. She helped the Bears win their first game of the season against Louisa-Muscatine, which was big for her and her team. She finished the day with 20 kills, four digs, 14 blocks; she also had one assist and was 28/29 on serves with five aces. The junior was terrific throughout the day and helped spark her team to a much-needed victory. She has played well all season and is very deserving of this honor.

Cross Country Malcolm Myers, Pekin

Malcolm Myers has been terrific all season long and that success continued this past Thursday at a meet hosted by City High. He finished behind his teammate Ryan Millikin by only two seconds to take third overall at the meet running a personal best time of 16:44. He is now ranked sixth overall in his class and is primed for a state run and should push hard individually for a state title. Not to mention the success that Malcolm has had has had a direct correlation to the success the Pekin Panthers have had. Myers has steadily been of the top runners in each meet he has participated in this season, and along with his teammates will continue to do so.

Sigourney volleyball plays HLV tough, but falls in four games Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor VICTOR- Brooke Waechter, Leah Carter and Caleigh Dale all played very well for Sigourney on Monday, Oct. 3. Dale especially helped keep Sigourney in this match in game three with her serving, and also their big comeback in game number three.

Sigourney was down 11-4 in the fourth game, but made a furious comeback going on a 12-5 run to tie everything up at 16 before eventually falling.

“We played hard and had moments of greatness, but were also inconsistent at times. We have to learn to play scrappy from the beginning and be aggressive throughout. We got lots of touches on blocks tonight and need to keep getting better at blocking. Our offense is picking up and we need to continue to be aggressive and smart.” Coach Chris Carter on her team’s performance on Monday.

Leah Carter had ten kills; Sloane Magill and Autum Barthelman had

eight a piece. Carter also had 25 assists to lead the team. Waechter had 17 digs

showing good hustle once again and Dale was 34/35 on her serving .

This Thursday at home against North Mahaska Sigourney will be celebrating 30 years of SHS volleyball. They will be inviting all alumni back to be their special guests at the match. Recognition will take place between the JV and Varsity contests. For more information check out the schools website or Facebook page.

Tri-County volleyball lose to Lynnville-Sully 0-3 Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor SULLY- Tri-County lost against Lynnville 0-3 on Monday, Oct. 3. Their first two games they really did not play to their full potential. However, they finally started playing up to their full potential in the third game. “We hustled, moved our feet on defense and were playing smart, aggressive offense. We had a big run leading with 20 and Lynnville having 11. Nikayla Dowd had a seven point serving streak as well as led the team in aces with five. We ended up falling to Lynnville 24 to 26. I was proud of how my girls came out strong the third game but we have had issues with keeping our lead and finishing the game this whole season. When we have that big of lead we need to keep it and finish strong” Coach Sydney Davis about her team after their loss Monday night.

Even though the season is almost over, the girls know they always have things they need to improve on. Michaela Lundy ended the night with six kills and four blocks. Myrissa Garber ended the night with 13 assists and 12 digs. Both Kearstan Schmidt and Katlyn Little added five kills for the night as well.

Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor NORTH ENGLISH- EV played a tough match against Lynnville-Sully on Thursday, Sept.29, however they fell short against a stingy Lady Hawk volleyball squad. Two sets were very competitive; the middle one was not so much. EV has had a tough go of things this season still looking for their first win as a team. They continue to play hard and attempt to make small strides towards turning things around.

Seasons like this one show more about an individual’s character in this sports writer’s opinion more so than a season in which a team sustains success. When the chips are stacked against you and things don’t seem to go your way, how you handle those situations shows who a person really is. From the outside looking in these girls haven’t lost their spunk

EV volleyball has mixed results at New London Saturday Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor NEW LONDON- English Valleys volleyball got their first win over the weekend in one of three matches they had at New London High School on Saturday, Oct. 1. They opened things up with a loss to 13th ranked New London (821, 14-21). They played better than the scores would indicate, and they came away from that match feeling pretty good.

EV them got its first win of the season against Louisa-Muscatine in three sets (21-9, 17-21, 15-10). They controlled sets one and three but fell in a close one in game number two. They showed good resilience to come back after a disappointing second set to secure the victory in set three.

They then dropped a match that they probably should have won against Winfield-Mount Union 2-1 (17-21, 2118, 7-15). They definitely would have enjoyed going 2-1 on the day, but just getting that first victory is a great feeling for this bunch of hard working girls.

Head coach Becky Becker had the following to say about her team after their matches in New London Saturday; “We realistically hurt ourselves against WMU, that is one we probably should have had. We won against L-M, which is a great feeling, but we made it closer than it needed to be. We will continue to work on finishing strong as we finish up our regular season and move into the post season.”

EV had nine kills against New London as a team out of 19 attack attempts.

Audrey Grove led them with three kills.

Sydney Olson led the team with six digs, and Alexis Berstler had five assists in the two games against New London.

Grove had ten kills in the Bears win over Louisa-Muscatine to lead the team in that category. Grove also had five blocks in the match to lead the Bears in that category as well. The Bears were 28 out of 68 hitting putting together a good kill ratio. There was a lot to build of for the EV Bears and they will be looking to add to their win total before the end of the season.

Sigourney-Keota continues to roll winning 52-7 at Columbus Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor COLUMBUS JUNCTION- The Cobras had no problems handling Columbus Junction on Friday, Sept. 30.

The Cobras got things going early and often on the ground. SK racked up 462 yards rushing on the night, averaging 11.3 yards per carry. Avery Moore had another big night with 247 yards rushing on only 18 carries and four touchdowns. Luke Greiner had 8 carries for 111 yards and two touchdowns. SK only punted the ball one time on the night also, which is always a great sign.

Cian Borra broke through in this game more than likely establishing himself as the kicker for the team with a 7/7 night kicking extra points, and also had a 31-yard field goal. Cian a foreign exchange student from Belgium won the job actually on Thursday and may prove to be a big weapon down the line for the Cobras. He also put five of his eight kickoffs deep in the end zone for touchbacks. Tristan Sypherd had 5.5 tackles for SK to lead the team. Noah Boender and his little brother Zech had six tackles between them, but 4.5 for loss. Will Magill had

two interceptions in the game and Avery Moore had one.

The Cobras have really controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball this season and that has played a huge role in their success. SK will look to continue their dominant play against Louisa-Muscatine this Friday before they have two big games against Wapello and Wilton to end the regular season. They continue to control their own destiny as far as the playoffs are concerned now as they are 5-1 on the season.

EV falls to 0-6 on the season with a 51-0 loss at Easton Valley Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor PRESTON- EV’s growing pains continued on Friday, Sept. 30. They traveled to Easton Valley where they struggled again to get things going offensively and making stops defensively. Turning things around takes time and is measured in baby steps often. The numbers are their as far as kids on the team, but they are very

young and should make strides in the future as a core even if it isn’t this year. Now, that being said the Bears are not giving up on this season, with three weeks left they are going to do everything in their power to get that elusive first win.

Sam Kingland was 3/6 passing for 68 yards, while Cael Hester was 3/17 for 50 yards and a pick. Caleb Peach led the team in rushing with 37 yards

on 12 carries. Ambrose Coffman had two receptions for 61 yards. Andrew Fisher led the team with seven tackles. Nolan Grove had six tackles, and Caleb Peach had four tackles. Sam Kingland had two fumble recoveries for the Bears defensively. Next week EV will host Iowa Valley who are 5-2 on the season, they will be gunning for an upset next Friday.

Chandler Eckley was in good position to make a play on the ball, but a great catch by the Lynnville-Sully receiver spoiled an excellent defensive play.

Pekin falls at home to Lynnville-Sully 43-14 Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor PEKIN- The Panthers fell in a game that the score doesn’t reflect how close the game was on Friday, Sept.

30. Pekin hung around for the better part of three quarters. Two long passes for touchdowns at inopportune times really hurt the Panthers in this one. One was a marvelous juggling catch by a Lynnville-Sully receiver to put the Hawks up 15-0, then with the score 15-7 with three seconds left until halftime the Hawks chucked a pass deep and connected for a 62yard Hail Mary that hit about five Trevod Northup runs down a players hands before ending up in a Lynnville-Sully runner.

Lynnville-Sully players arms giving from the tailback position on a HB Sully a 22-7 lead at the half. pass connecting with Chandler Eck With eight minutes left in the ley for 75 yards and the score. The third Trevor Northup threw a pass Panthers won the turnover battle,

but were unable to move the football consistently on offense. Their struggles to run the football were very evident throughout the night. The Panther defense was strong though until they were worn down by the time the fourth quarter came along.

Northup had a nice interception in the first half and the Panthers recovered two fumbles winning the turnover battle 3-1 with their lone turnover, a fumble, not happening until the fourth quarter.

The Panthers playoff hopes are all but gone now, but they still have an outside chance, of course needing some help now to achieve that goal.

Pekin will hope to get back over .500 with a matchup this upcoming Friday against Winfield-Mount Union who sit at 1-5.

Alexander Holt Regional Sports Editor VICTOR- Things did not go well on Friday, Sept. 30 for Tri-County at HLV, Victor. After a few weeks where they were very competitive, Tri-County just struggled against a strong HLV squad. HLV had six rushing touchdowns from four different players. Tri-County was unable to get Walter McKay or Tegon Fogle going on the ground as the two combined for 32 yards on only nine carries between them. Fogle did have four receptions for 27 yards, but that was about the extent of Tri-County’s offense.

Defensively Fogle led the way with

nine tackles. Dylan Seaton had five to finish second on the team in tackles. David Carruthers and Brayden Monroe did have two fumble recoveries for the defense, but as a whole they struggled to control the line of scrimmage. The Trojans have had their ups and downs this year and have come up on the short end of a couple hard fought games, of course this one they were overmatched against a good HLV team. They will continue to look to build and become a better team over these last three weeks, beginning with a home game against Moravia who sits at 3-3. Tri-County is now 1-6 on the season and looks to finish strong.
