Student Teachers Making a Difference By RD KEEP The Sun

NEW SHARON – Student teachers are not only the ones who are preparing young people for tomorrow, they are preparing themselves to lead them. Two of those student teachers, Ryan Westmoreland and Katelyn Buckalew, have become familiar figures at North Mahaska. Westmoreland and Buckalew are both William Penn University students who are completing their 16week program that ill lead to their

teaching degrees. Westmoreland is working under Terry Malone and Steve Ehret while Buckalew is under the auspcies of Bonnie Dawley. Westmoreland, who is also serving as an assistant football coach for the Warhawks, is a native of Bolivar. He is teaching American history, world history and government. “Government is my favorite, but I like teaching history too,� said Westmoreland. He said he is in week of five of the program and when he graduates will have Iowa endorsements in history

and government. Westmoreland played four years of football at William Penn and served as vice president of the school’s charter class of the WPU History Club. Buckalew, a senior from Granger, will spend her 16-week adventure in a variety of roles. She is teaching part of her time in K-12 special education and will spend the later part of the term under Mary Woods in elementary physical education. Buckalew feels her breadth of interest and experience will aid her

when it comes time to find a job. In addition to physical education and special education, she will also earn a degree in sports administration. “I would like to stay in Iowa, but will see where life takes me,� said Buckalew before her students came into the room. “I like all ages, but prefer working with the older kids. I am just glad I get to do my whole placement here at North Mahaska.� It is obvious by the interaction with the students that these two are well equipped to prepare the leaders of tomorrow.

A Swashbuckling Adventure at ‘The Greatest Pirate Story Never Told’ OSKALOOSA — “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, Oct. 6 at 7 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 G@I8K<J kf gX^\ )

Big Crowd Supports NS Firefighters By RD KEEP The Sun NEW SHARON – Patrons of New Sharon and nor ther n Mahaska County attended the annual appreciation supper Sept. 24. The department, which recently had members respond to the Mississippi flooding, displayed equipment, talked with patrons about the department and provided burgers and hot dogs. The annual event serves two purposes, two show off equipment provided by the financial support from the townships, city and other entities, but more importantly to say

thank you. Chief Steve Gerard talked about an ice sled, which was purchased following an incident near Montezuma. He said the sled provides a safe way to rescue a person who has fallen on or into icy water and can be used in water rescues. The orange unit has two floats connected by bars and a rope that is connected to shore to assist a rescuer as they bring in a victim. “We saw the need after that incident up at Montezuma last year,� said Gerard. “It is going to be a big help if we need it.� The department has developed the reputation to respond to disasters in

the state and through the country. In recent years members have been to Mississippi two or three times, Oklahoma for tornado response, and Iowa for flood response. In the most recent response, the responding members received a key to the city. Gerard, in an emotional moment at the department’s monthly meeting, gave it to the department. At the dinner, kids were able to enjoy a bouncy house while the adults ate and talked with firefighters. The department has a number of items available for a raffle. Tickets may still be purchased.

Just Before the Battle Mother, A Visit from a Civil War Soldier

Kids went heads-over-heels with fun at the bouncy house during the New Sharon Fire Department appreciation dinner.

The Well Celebrates Renovation On Saturday, Oct. 8, The Well celebrates its new facility with an open house. Featuring self-guided tours, lunch, and door prizes, The Well open house will take place at its newly renovated building at 419 East Oskaloosa Street in Pella. The open house begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. Enter through the East door. “We have planned an exciting and educational day for both adults and children,� said Jayson Henry, executive director of The Well. “It is our chance to thank all those who are helping The Well fulfill a community vision of uniting community service resources in one space.� On their building tour, adults will qualify for prizes by finding fun facts located throughout the building. They can also view re-purposing demonstrations. Children’s activities include face painting, corn box play, hands-on decorating of pumpkins and gourds, along with oversized Jenga and Connect Four games, and more. The Well began in 2012 when area churches and social service agen-

cies saw a need for combining and centralizing their services. The Well began its ministry of walking alongside people in difficult situations. In 2015, the Pella Thrift Shop Foundation donated its inventory to The Well, and its board of directors saw the opportunity to centralize services by renovating the huge building at 419 E. Oskaloosa Street in which the thrift store was located. The Well now combines its thrift store, bicycle ministry, medical loan closet, resource center, and getting ahead class at one location. More information about these services can be found at The Well website, also newly renovated: http://thewelliowa. org/ The newly-renovated Well facility now also provides space for Pella Community Food Shelf, Good Samaritan Free Medical Clinic, and Congregate Meals, along with a meeting room for Vital Men and a Cadet youth group. All groups will be represented at the Open House to talk with visitors about their organizations.

In 1895, Swiggett, using his personal experiences as his story’s essence, published a book about his prison life entitled “The Bright Side of Prison Life.� On display will be Swiggett’s original family photo album as well as other Civil War artifacts provided by Fargo and BHPS. Fargo will also bring a searchable electronic Civil War roster of men who served in and from Iowa so participants can search for ancestors who served.

Navy & Gold Gala Rescheduled OSK ALOOSA – The William Penn University Athletic Booster Club has announced that the annual Navy & Gold Gala, originally set for October 8 at the Lacey Recreation Complex, has been rescheduled for Saturday, April 8, 2017, at the National Guard of Iowa Armory in Oskaloosa. The change in date and venue has been attributed to potential issues beyond the control of the university that could possibly impact the event. This fundraiser will still feature

an evening of trivia and all funds raised will go to support athletic scholarships for students. In 2015,

Navy & Gold Gala proceeds helped fund transportation improvements. The 2014 event helped to fund the purchase of a passenger van, filling necessary transportation needs. In 2013, the event helped with stadium improvement projects at the Lacey Recreation Complex. The 2012 event helped with the purchase of William Penn Uni-

versity Track & Field equipment.

Now in its fifth year as an event, the evening includes an interactive trivia contest, appetizers, and a night of friendly competition for friends of William Penn University. Tickets are $30 per person or $240 for an eight-person table. To reserve your seat or to reserve a table, contact the William Penn University Office of Advancement at 641-673-1044.

LOWER GROVE NEWS By ROSEMARY SCHMIDT The Sun Correspondent Wednesday I made two peach pies for the First Baptist Church’s soup supper on Thursday evening. That was a good way to use some of those peaches that I froze this summer. Using the oven on a cool day always makes the house feel ‘homey’ and smells good too. Friday I went to Oskaloosa to the courthouse to pay my property tax. It was a nice day to be out and about, but I can think of nicer things to do rather than pay taxes!! So I stopped at Dollar Tree and of course Wal-Mart. Then Thursday, Friday and Saturday was garage sale days. I joined Charlene at Lilburn and Geneva Jansen’s home in Pella for days of getting rid of all that stuff that I thought I needed. Every year I wonder why we buy all that ‘stuff’ and then seemingly don’t need it anymore! I just hate the process of deciding what to keep and what to sell. My closets have a lot less clothes in them now after purging them. It’s a wonderful feeling when you can get your clothes all hung up in the closet and you can see what you have. My place is starting to look a little less cluttered and most of the excess stuff left needs to be burned (that’s next) Saturday was breakfast at Happy Joes again with the gang. Then I went to two garage sales. Need to quit that, but the season is almost over anyway. In the evening Kalvin, Carrie and I went to Rathbun Country Theater. Beth Hunter and Harvest Band performed there. We knew brothers Tom and Jim Robinson from years before. Jim had played drums in our band several times over the years. They put on a good show and played many of the old songs that we like and know. We visited with them afterwards.

On Monday Nancene Bruxvoort and I attended the funeral for Iris (Van Kooten) Vander Hart of Peoria. She was married to Gilbert Vander Hart and to this union four children were born: Michael, Judy, Myrna and LeAnn. She was a quiet, reserved person, but was faithful in sharing her faith. Her nephew Rev. Robert Van Kooten spoke of remembering his aunt and how she shared her home and food to everyone. The minister Rev. George Den Oudsten conducted the service using scriptures that Iris wanted him to share with the congregation. The grandchildren sang on a recording of Tell Me the Story of Jesus and Ancient Worlds. Everyone was invited to the Peoria Gym for lunch and fellowship. The sweet spirit of Iris will be missed. The farmers who have farm and on the bottoms sure had to hurry and get it harvested after that big rain in northern Iowa. The river got bank full but did not flood the land. We all were thankful because to see those beautiful crops of corn destroyed would have been tragic. October, can you believe it? I love this time of year, but also know that all the fall jobs need to be taken care of. We need take a lesson from the squirrels as they store the acorns so they will have food this winter. Doesn’t it make you wonder how they remember where they buried the nuts? The garden is the same as done with just a few cucumbers hanging on the vine. Kalvin put up a fence this spring and then I planted the cucumbers so they would vine up the fence. This works just wonderful. Then you don’t have to bend over to pick them. The flowers are still blooming and looking great, but their days are numbered. ALL FIGURED OUT A six-year old boy told his grandfather that he wanted to marry the little

girl across the street. The grandfather, being modern and well-schooled in handling children, hid his smile behind his hand. “That’s a serious step,� he said. “Have you thought it out completely?� “Yes� his young grandson answered. “We can spend one week in my room and the next in hers. It’s right across the street, so I can run home if I get scared of the dark.� “How about transportation?� the grandfather asked. “I have my wagon and we both have our bicycles� the little boy answered. The boy had answered every question that his grandfather asked. Finally, in exasperation, the grandfather asked, “How about babies? “When you are married, you are liable to have babies you know.� “We have thought about that too� the little boy replied. “We’re not going to have babies. Every time she lays an egg. I’m going to step on it!� DOWN MEMORY LANE Do you remember these? 1. Horse drawn vans delivering milk 2. Tipping over the outhouse on Halloween 3. Kids missing school because of rheumatic fever, scarlet fever, polio 4. CCC, PWA, WPA federal programs 5. Fireside Chats with FDR 6. Tractors with huge iron lugs that would tear up farm roads 7. The steam train coming to town and the race to see if you could beat it, while trying to avoid the black cinders from the smoke that would fall on your white Sunday school shirt 8. Memorial Day parades with the WWI veterans marching in their puttees 9. Outdoor silent movies 10. Black face minstrel shows

TALES OF THE ANCIENT SPORTSMAN By BURDELL HENSLEY Ancient Sportsman 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 Cow-

boys�, 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 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

FROM THE VINE

Cedar-Fremont Baseball Team Photo Found By JACKIE PERKINS From the Vine FREMONT – You just never know how what you do today may mean to someone in the future. It may even be someone you don’t know, or perhaps someone who isn’t even born yet. Back in the 1970s there was a very active Little League program in the Cedar-Fremont area. Many times the coaches were young and perhaps didn’t even have children playing on the teams. John Bouma and Greg Perkins were two of those coaches. The home games were played at the ball field in Cedar next to the brick schoolhouse west of town. When it was time for practice or a game, those needing a ride would show up at the coach’s

house, pile in their car and off they went. Overloaded cars and seatbelts were not even considered unsafe. A while back I was going through some of my many “saved treasures� and found a black and white photo of the Vikings, coached by these two “guys.� The team members we can identify are: Bruce Deitch, Allen Wissler, Sam Fredrickson, Steve Lappin and Bobby Carter in the first row. In the second row, Mike Vanden Heuvel and Rodney Ashman, and in the back row, Coach Bouma, Gary Steele, Larry Boer, Bruce Versteegh, and Coach Perkins. If anyone can give us names of others, we would be grateful. Upon finding the photo, I made a copy of it and took it to our now neigh-

bor, Coach John Bouma. The other day, his wife, Wanda, told us that she had shown the photo to her grandson, Evan, and he was so impressed, he took it home, framed it and it now sits on his mother, Brooke Bouma’s desk. Many of you enjoy seeing Fremont native, Brooke, each weekday morning as she reports the news on WHO TV. So now all of you pictured know that Brooke is looking at you! Another connection to Greg’s Little League days was when he reported to his physical therapy appointment a few weeks ago and Physical Therapist, Bobby Schertz introduced him to his co-workers by saying, “This is my Little League Coach.� Oh boy, what time will do to you!

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 18-7. 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. 11- Ralph 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. 12Worth 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.

COUNTRY GIRL’S CORNER

On the Homefront

By SHERYL L. CARTER The Country Girl

Greetings! I just had a call from an old school friend, who had read right here in The Sun about my recently published book, The House on Cadron Creek, and wanted a copy. So I will be mailing out an autographed copy to her. Several are showing an interest in getting a copy or copies for themselves and other family members. I would like to have some book signings, but need to let things settle in a bit more around here. Loren is doing pretty well these days, but I still have some outside work that needs to be accomplished and right now the arthritis in my fingers are preventing that. I did see my good doctor yesterday who gave me a prescription for inflammation (which hasn’t kicked in yet) and an order for occupational therapy. So we’ll see how this all pans out. Monday afternoon, Loren’s brother, Larry, and his wife, Beth, from Lusby, Md., drove in late in the afternoon. We had also called up Gaylor’s and Lawrence’s to come join us, so we were able to have a nice supper together, visit awhile, and take some pictures. We got a really good one of Loren and Gaylor—smiles, too! Larry is the oldest of the five brothers, and still a pretty healthy guy. He and Beth like to go kayaking and both work with a home repair ministry out of their church. We had made a big potato salad on Sunday afternoon—that is, Loren made it and I directed. We served sandwiches, salad, vegs and Norma brought a tray of cheese and crackers plus a nice batch of grapes that were delicious. I didn’t do a whole lot on Tuesday beyond some wash, and then out to a friend’s house for our every two week Home Bible Study. We are taking turns hosting now. On Wednesday, I switched up my usual day to go into town. I had a meeting with Bob Leonard of KLWS/ KNIA Knoxville-Pella radio stations, as he wanted to interview me about my new book. He is an excellent interviewer. For a number of years I was on

the other side of the mic or notebook as I interviewed many people for our local Diamond Trail News, so I appreciate thoughtful questions. Hopefully, I will be able to let you know in time for when that interview airs. Right after that was my doctor appointment, and then I swung by the chiropractor before doing the last of my errands and heading for home, which is always a good feeling. As I drive back up the windy, twisty road to Sully, and just before going downhill to the South Skunk River bottom, I can look through the trees and see the Sully Co-op Towers on the far northern horizon. Today has been more errands— which my husband did. I drove us around and he did the getting in and out of the car. Tomorrow is cookie day at our bank uptown, so I plan to drive him up there so he can get his weekly allotment. Everyone has been missing him at all these places, Casey’s, the bank, our mechanic’s garage, etc. The ladies up at Casey’s just think he is wonderful and ask about him. I can’t believe this is the end of this month already—it just started! Saturday will be October first, and fall will begin to come down on us in all its’ glory. Some of the trees around here are just beginning to turn. According to the photos my sister has sent from Colorado, their trees are well into changing color. It was really chilly here in the house this morning, so I turned on the furnace for a bit. I confess, I put my cozy flannel sheets back on the bed the other day. Trying to warm up cold sheets with a chilly body just doesn’t work, so I see no sense in delaying. I see we have a number of October birthdays right here in our family: our three step-grandchildren, our oldest son, and his little girl, who will turn 6 years old just a few days after her Daddy’s. Although I would love to be outside today in the garden closing things up, these fingers need to feel a whole lot better than they do now, so will wait on that. But the weather is just beautiful out there. Also, my supply of garlic in my bloodstream must be waning, as the black bugs have jumped on me

with both feet—or all four or six? — Whenever I venture out there. Nasty little critters. I can’t see how something so tiny can bite so badly. One day I was ready to smear garlic juice on myself before I found something else instead. Hey, when you’re desperate, you try anything. Ha! OK, best close—I won’t say what I thought about the debate Monday night. My land. Well, maybe I will. Think about the next four years, people. Supreme Court justices will be replaced—probably a bunch of them. They shouldn’t have as much power as they do, but their decisions for the next many years can either further erode our country or give us an edge back. This is the most crucial election in my lifetime—people are praying—people are seeing the need to be wise and discerning. We can’t just sit this one out—doing that will only give another vote to someone that really should not be in office—anywhere. Yes, one candidate is brash, mouthy, loud, and has a checkered history, but the other one has a history stretching back for many years that to me is a whole lot worse and much more troubling than the first one. I encourage everyone to get a free copy of the September issue of Decision magazine—it’s free to every household. Every article is excellent and well written and gives where each candidate stands on the issues. Also the platforms of both the Democratic and Republican parties are printed. I wish everyone in this country had a copy in their hands. To get a copy of “Two Visions, Two Americas” contact the following: Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, 1 Billy Graham Parkway, Charlotte, NC 28201. You can also call toll free: 1-877-247-2426 or you can go online to this address https://billygraham.org/ decision-magazine and read every article for yourself. It’s on there. Until next time, we all need to remember God is in control, but we also need to acknowledge Him and give Him back His rightful place in our beloved country or we aren’t going to have one.`

EBF Unable to Stop Hawks By RD KEEP The Sun

On the final play of the half Moore hooked up with Gaige Berryman who looked to be able to score but was stopped two yards short. A score there and if the Rockets had not fumbled earlier could have changed the complexity of the ball game. “If we make that touchdown in the second quarter and don’t have that fumble it gives a bit of light,� said EBF coach Brian Koehler. “If we don’t turn the ball over as we are going in it is an 18-12 game. Neither team could move the ball in to score in the third period. The Rockets drove down to the 5-yard line, but a fumble recovery by Central Lee erased the promising drive. EBF took over the ball with just under one minute left in the quarter and as the final stanza began benefitted from an interference call and defensive holding to move the ball down the field. Dakota Boyer bounced in from the 2-yard line for the Rockets’ only score. The 2-point attempt failed. Central Lee took the next possession and with 3:23 left to play Tennant rushed in from the13 for a touchdown. The extra-point gave Central Lee a lead 25-6, and Tennant added another touchdown on a short run in the final second to make the final score 31-6. The final score

EDDYVILLE — Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont did many things right Friday night, just not enough of them. Central Lee took advantage of opportunities to capture a 31-6 win at Eddyville. Two plays and the game score would have been different. Central Lee stopped the Rockets on the opening drive and a 27-yard pass, the Hawks’ only completion, and a 19-yard scramble by Zachary Schulte set up a 1-yard drive by quarterback Chase tenant and the extra point by Richard Galle put the Hawks in front with 4 minutes 43 seconds to play in the first quarter. Early in the second the Rocket defense stopped Tennant and company and forced a short punt that went dead at the Rocket 4-yard line. A fumble found the pigskin spinning in the end zone and Central Lee recovered. The Hawks went for two points and led 15-0. Galle added a solid 35yard field goal with 1:29 to play in the half. EBF took the kickoff to midfield and engineered a drive deep into Hawk territory. Wyatt Klyn hauled in an 18-yard pass from Trey Moore. Moore hit Ryan Adams for nine more yards and Klyn again for five.

came with five seconds to play. On the extra point, the Rockets overpowered the line and pummeled the holder and kicker as the ball never got off the ground. “The kids have bought into the program,� said Koehler. “These kids were prepared. It may not have shown it all the time, but these guys watched film and worked hard. “They wore on us some, but we wore on them some as well. We’ve got to bounce back. We have PCM coming in and its homecoming. We have lost two district games so we need to get to work.� The passing game was the weak link for the Rockets. Moore was 7-for-19 for 46 yards. Several of the balls were drops while others were thrown out of reach. We did have too many dropped balls,� said Koehler. “We have to get better.� Ryan Adams led the rushing forps for EBF with 44 yards on six carries. Moore had 36 on 15 totes. Central Lee amassed 283 total yards, 256 on the ground. The rushing duo of Adam Rooney and Austin Gaylord accounted for 77 and 71 respectively. Score by quarter C. Lee 7 11 0 13 – 31 EBF 0006–6

EBF Dominates Twin Cedars EDDYVILLE —Monday night for the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont volleyball team stepped out of conference play and stepped up for a dominant sweep over Twin Cedars, winning 25-6, 25-13 and 25-5. “This was a great match for EBF after coming off a heartbreaking loss to Centerville last week. This was a fun game to boost some confidence

Tri-County Falls 55-0 on the Road VICTOR – Tri-County had hoped to mar HLV’s homecoming with an 8-man upset, but the host Warriors had other ideas. HLV’s defense provided the thrust holding the Trojans to 57 total yards of offense to score a 55-0 victory. Freshman Tegon Fogle provided Tri-County with help on both sides of the ball. He had 27 yards in receptions on four catches., 11 yards rushing and led the team in tackles with nine. He also accumulated 264 yards in returns. Senior Lane Williams passed for 25 yards. Senior Walter McKay rushed for 21 yards on three carries. Tri-County will host Moravia Oct. 7 before going on the road to Meskwaki Settlement before ending the season at Colo-Nesco.

NEW SHARON — Momentum seemingly came to a halt for the North Mahaska volleyball team Monday. The Warhawks have won matches recently using last minute hitting and serving, but they were unable to receive enough when Lynnville-Sully came to town. The visiting Hawks won the first set 25-15, but refocused Warhawk squad came back for a convincing 25-12 victory to even the match. The final two sets were a battle to see who could survive and take the South Iowa Cedar League match. L-S won 25-18 then outlasted NM 25-23. “We didn’t make the plays when we needed to,” North Mahaska coach Alicia Arkema said. “We had a lot of unforced errors, which killed us. They all played tentative, all scared of making mistakes.” Playing Lynnville-Sully in any sporting event brings up emotions for the rivals. Add on a contest with conference implications and it takes it to a new level. The Hawks made a statement early in the confrontation going out to a 6-0 lead in the opening set and never looked back. Brenna Lanser, who was a major force against the Warhawks all night, used strong net play and served the final three points with the last coming on an ace. North Mahaska was struggling and fell behind 7-1 when senior Jensen Kelderman went for a ball and hit the floor hard. She left the set and went to the locker room. She would return later in the match. The Warhawks rallied to take an 11-10 lead freshman Paige Lay-

man served to 17-11 including aces on points 16 and 17. Later Mallory Klinker added aces at 19 and 20 and served to give the Warhawks a 24-12 lead. On an ensuing volley L-S mishit a ball to give the victory over to NM. Lynnville-Sully came back in the following set with four straight points for a quick 4-0 advantage. North Mahaska battled, but could not overcome the initial deficit. North Mahaska got off to a fast 5-0 start in the final set, only to see Lynnville-Sully even the set at 6-6. An ace by Lynnville-Sully’s Carson Fisk to pull away to a 1713 lead followed hitting errors by North Mahaska. A seven unanswered points by the Hawks followed a kill by Kelderman. A kill by Lanser and her two aces made the score 24-14. Boender scored another kill to give the Warhawks the serve. NM senior Katie Koehler served eight straight points to get the Warhawks to within 24-23. Boender scored three of her 12 kills in that run, but North Mahaska hit the ball out on the final point of the night. Lanser also had 20 digs, nine kills and was a perfect 27-for-27 from the service line with seven aces. Jataya Meyer had eight kills. Jelissa Rozendaal had 30 digs and Fisk had 23 assists and four aces. Boender had six blocks on the night and Haley Pinkerton added seven. Kelderman had six kills, six digs and an ace. Kalleen Chamberlain had four kills, one ace and three digs. Koehler contributed two kills, 21 assists and seven digs while Klinker had four aces and three digs. Tessa Fuller had six digs as Bailey Ferguson and Kobi Evans had three digs each.

Four years later, he returned to the hospital due to severe seizures. Doctors discovered a shunt malfunction and had to do the first of several shunt revisions. Konner lived for

months with a feeding tube so that he could gain weight and strength. Coach Brian Koehler and the Rockets gave the young man an autographed football. Decked out in his black and gold, emblematic of his Rockets and Hawkeyes, he was excited when the team gathered around him just before the kickoff.

Unfortunately for Guyer his exuberance was not enough as both his Rockets and Hawkeyes suffered losses. Despite that part of the celebration, Guyer has been an inspiration to Eddyville Elementary and should not be long before he captures the hearts of Canton Elementary and the Canton Tigers.
