State responds to supervisors’ letter opposing proposed hog confinement By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor A state official acknowledged the Calhoun County Board of Supervisors’ opposition to a proposed hog confinement east of Twin Lakes last week. But, Iowa Department of Natural Resources Environmental Specialist Sheila Kenny wrote, the letter came too late, and raised questions about items over which the DNR has no ju-

risdiction. “We understand the concerns from the board and from local residents regarding odors, (flies) and potential negative impacts on property taxes and recreational activities the area; however the Iowa DNR does not currently have any specific rules or jurisdiction regarding these issues,” Kenny wrote in a Sept. 30 letter to the board. “We appreciate your concerns regarding this site, but the facility appears to be in compliance with current Iowa law.” DNR issued a letter to Brandon

Strutzenberg, who proposed the 2,480-head confinement on land he owns just shy of 2 miles east of the lake, on Sept. 23 authorizing him to begin construction after Oct. 2. Kenny said Strutzenberg must provide updated soil samples for some of the land he planned to use to dispose of the manure. Those samples and updated calculations must be submitted to the DNR within one year. Kenny reminded the board of the minimum separation distances from confinements and manure applica-

tion areas. “The proposed site was reviewed and appears to comply with these minimum requirements,” she wrote. The Board of Supervisors acknowledged receiving the letter at their Oct. 4 meeting, but did not discuss any further action. Because the confinement will house less than 2,500 hogs at a time, Strutzenberg was not required to submit a Master Matrix – the form by which such proposals are graded – nor did he need to seek approval from the board.

Iowa Central seeks bond to fund campus improvements, career academy expansion By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Iowa Central Community College wants to expand its career academies, which serve area high school students. At career academy in Eagle Grove, students from a number of schools can earn 16 to 18 college credit hours in one year, ICCC President Dr. Dan Kinney said during a recent meeting in Rockwell City, during which he promoted the proposed $29.5 million bond. The program can save families about $6,000 in college tuition – the high school students do not pay for the college credits, at either the career academy or for college classes taken at their respective schools, Kinney said. South Central Calhoun School District board members have discussed their support of a career academy several times, noting that a likely location for the one that would serve SCC students would be in or near Lohrville. A message left with an ICCC official last week asking whether a site has been selected was not returned. Kinney said ICCC wants to create two new career academies. “With that, every high school in our district – all 23 – will be able to get to a career academy if they want,” he said. ICCC officials have met with several school district officials, as well as Stewart Memorial Community Hospital administrators, about what vocational needs are present in the communities that the college serves. A health care track is something that could be an option for the Lohrville academy, he said. The goal is to locate the new academies within a 30-mile drive of the schools being served. School districts will bus students to the academies, where students will study for three hours before returning to

Attorneys for Iowa landowners protesting the Dakota Access pipeline are heralding a Sept. 28 Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling in which that court deemed the state had improperly granted a natural gas company eminent domain. Pennsylvania landowners had sued to stop a private company from using eminent domain to take private property to store natural gas underground. The Pennsylvania high court ruled its state’s eminent domain statute “‘confers a broad power on private corporations to take private property of other landowners to store natural gas therein,’” attorney Bill Hanigan wrote, quoting from the court ruling. Unlike in Iowa, where the Iowa Utility Board granted Dakota Access eminent domain power to build an oil transportation pipeline, Pennsylvania officials did not claim the public was the “primary and paramount beneficiary” of the planned use of the property, Hanigan wrote. “Instead, [the state] advances the

their respective high schools, Kinney said. “I think this is really going to help keep our youth, build on our youth,” he said. ICCC opened 50 years ago, and in the intervening decades, has seen the majority funding source switch from state and local taxes to student fees. The state does not provide funding for infrastructure, and much of what the college needs to address in the next few years is a slate of infrastructure issues, Kinney said. One big project will be a student success center, a centralized location for all kinds of student support

services and administrative offices. Kinney said the college has about 900 students who have been enrolled for three or more years but who have yet to complete any degree. Somehow, Kinney said, those students aren’t finding the way to finish the programs in which they are enrolled. Students are also arriving on campus with other problems the college is trying to address, Kinney said. “We never thought we’d be in mental health counseling as much as we are,” he said. With a centralized student center, students who go to the wrong office first can be easily directed to

the person best suited to help them. That’s important, Kinney said, because students may give up – on counseling, on enrolling or on academic advising – if they don’t easily get the help they need. The bulk of the bond will go for general infrastructure updates. The plan for the funding is long-term, Kinney said. For a home assessed at $100,000, the bond will raise taxes by $1 per year. Voters will weigh in on the bond Dec. 6.

proposition that allowing such takings would somehow advance the development of infrastructure in the Commonwealth,” the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s opinion said. “Such a projected benefit is speculative, and, in any event, would be merely an incidental one and not the primary purpose for allowing these types of takings.” But, Hanigan argued, Iowa Code regulating the use of eminent domain is just as broad as the one the Pennsylvania court struck down late last month. “(Iowa Code) would grant the (IUB) a broad power to deputize any private person, company or corporation under any amount of its jurisdiction to take agricultural land with the state’s police power,” Hanigan wrote. “This is the very same broad power of private corporations to take private property which the Pennsylvania court found facially objectionable under the U.S. and Pennsylvania constitutions.” Hanigan continued to argue that private companies should not be able to take agriculture land – something that enjoys special protections in Iowa Code – for purely private ben-

South Central Calhoun Titans fans have a chance to show their appreciation for Coach Bryan Case this week. Case is one of 50 candidates from across the region who was nominated for the U.S. Cellular Most Valuable Coach, and the community can vote for Case to be reach the top 15. Case told The Graphic-Advocate late Friday he initially ignored the emails when he started getting them about three weeks ago. “To be honest with you, I thought every coach across the nation was receiving this e-mail and I thought it was some kind of a hoax, so I deleted everything about it,” he said in an email following Friday night’s game. “I kept getting information, and I kept deleting.” A school official received a call in the office, and told Case he needed to sign something for U.S. Cellular to proceed with the nomination. And again, Case said, he thought it was a scam and didn’t want to participate. “The next day, I started receiving e-mails and text of congratulations for this honor,” he said. “I still had no idea what these people were talking about. I then received a text from Greg Thomas (Humboldt’s Football Coach) telling me congratulation and that there was an article in the Fort Dodge paper. I didn’t believe him at first, but then I saw it for myself. At that point... that’s when I realized that this must be something real.” U.S. Cellular officials told The Graphic-Advocate Tuesday Case had opted out of the program – Case’s name was not initially listed on the vote site, www.themostvaluablecoach.com. On Friday, the company reached out to The GraphicAdvocate again, saying Case had decided to participate. That puts Case two days behind in the voting.

efit. “Because no Iowa company extracts or refines oil, the infrastructure of the (pipeline) is demonstrably less valuable to Iowans than the infrastructure in Pennsylvania,” Hanigan argued. “Pennsylvanians are directly engaged in the extraction of natural gas from the Marcellus

(or other) shales and the storage and transportation of natural gas. If the benefits are too incidental and speculative for a state that is meaningfully engaged in the industry, then surely the benefits are even more attenuated for Iowa, which is not at all engaged in the oil industry.”

Todd Charles Irwin, 28, died Oct. 5 following a one-vehicle crash south of Lake City. According to the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office, Irwin and the vehicle he was driving were found in a private pond about two miles south of Lake City. Family members and law enforcement from Calhoun and Carroll counties participated in the search for Irwin. An autopsy was scheduled for Oct. 6; the results of the autopsy have not been released. The investigation continues pending the results of the autopsy. Law enforcement officials said they did not suspect foul play in Irwin’s death. Assisting with the investigation were the Calhoun County EMS, Lake City Police Department, Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the Carroll and Crawford County Search and Rescue Dive Teams.

Man suspected of embezzling county ambulance down payment receives no jail time in Texas, county learns By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor The man Calhoun County and Missouri officials believe took the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $37,000 down payment intended to begin refitting an ambulance is now serving a deferred sentence in Texas for a similar crime. Calhoun County Board of Supervisors Chairman Mike Cooper said he asked a claims adjuster with the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance provider to see

what had happened to Bobby Daniel Feemster, who had created the contract between Calhoun County and Cross Winds, an ambulance repair and refitting company in Missouri. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(A Texas probation officer) confirmed that (Feemster) was convicted of a similar incident in Haskell County Texas, but received a plea deal,â&#x20AC;? Iowa Communities Assurance Pool senior claims adjuster John Mullarkey wrote to Cooper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is actually out on probation and is required to not break any laws and make restitution for the Texas charg-

es. If he does not follow this, he will be taken into custody and he will serve the reminder of his sentence behind bars.â&#x20AC;? Feemster was convicted in September 2015 of one count of theft by deception, a third-degree felony. He pleaded no contest to the charge and was sentenced to 10 years of deferred incarceration and ordered to pay $67,500 in restitution to Haskell County Ambulance Inc., according to court documents provided to Calhoun County officials. County Attorney Tina Meth Far-

rington said Feemster would face a charge of first-degree theft, a Class C felony, if the supervisors instructed her to pursue charges. The other option, she said, would be to contact the Iowa Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, to see if other Iowa counties had reported similar thefts. If that has happened, Farrington said, the state might decide to pursue charges against Feemster. If the county pursued charges alone, it would incur costs to go to Texas and extradite Feemster and bring him back to Iowa, Farrington said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not impossible,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just how you want to spend your money to recover the $37,000.â&#x20AC;? Cooper said he would like to see Farrington speak with the state Attorney General first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would keep us out of it,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding it would save the county a considerable cost. ICAP, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurer, paid the county $10,000 for the theft claim; the county is still out about $27,000, Cooper said. Cross Winds, which went through an ownership change at about the

same time Feemster allegedly took the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deposit, has offered to replace the ambulance box the county had contracted to replace at no cost over the original price. Calhoun County Emergency Medical Services Director Kerri Hull said the new owner claimed to have mailed a completed contract more than a week before she met with the supervisors Oct. 4. She had not yet received that contract.

Rockwell City plans smoke test to check for storm sewer connections By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Rockwell City residents, particularly those on the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east side, may be seeing smoke in the next few weeks. Rockwell City officials, at their council meeting Oct. 3, discussed the need to conduct smoke tests in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sanitary sewer system to look for unmarked storm sewer connections. Mayor Phil Heinlen said the smoke tests would be one way for the city to identify the source of infiltration and inflow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; water that ends up in the sanitary sewer system that should not be there. Public Works Supervisor Phil Hammen said the weather conditions might be conducive for such tests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to wait for the water levels to be down, which they are now,â&#x20AC;? Hammen said. The water level needs to be low enough for the concentrated smoke, similar to what theatrical productions use, to travel through the pipes and up any connections to the sur-

face. He said he may even try to use sandbags to limit where the smoke can go, so he can check for connections between the two sewer systems block by block. He warned city residents they may find smoke in their basements during the test. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If smoke starts coming out of a storm sewer, you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a cross connection,â&#x20AC;? he said, explaining how the test works. Right now, Hammen said city works find sticks, baseballs, water bottles and pop bottles in the water coming to the waste water treatment plant. Those items show up quickly following heavy rains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For as fast as it gets out there, (the source is) close,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figure (to start) anywhere on the east side of town, work our way north. â&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a needle in a haystack. You just start somewhere.â&#x20AC;? He anticipated spending about an hour per block to conduct the test. Several decades ago, Hammen said, Rockwell City switched some of its storm and sanitary sewer lines; he said the volume of water that ends up at the waste water treatment

plant during heavy rains indicates there are several cross connections still in place that need to be closed. If a large amount of smoke emerges from a storm sewer line, Hammen can then bring in a crew with a camera to check that line for its connection with the sanitary sewer line. The city relined a number of sanitary sewer lines and closed about 200 lines that were no longer in use last year, Hammen said. That did decrease some of the infiltration and inflow, but not enough to resolve the problem entirely, he said. The city council also approved a measure that will allow it to institute a franchise fee at some point. The council did not vote to set a percentage for that fee or act to start collecting the fee. Council members did not take any action on a proposed ATV ordinance for city streets. City Clerk Kelly Smidt said when the city updated its code of ordinances, it incorporated some changes to state law about ATVs; city officials will need to revise their proposed ATV ordinance to reflect those changes before adopting it.

Hanigan directed the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention to the similarities between the Pennsylvania case and the situation in Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both involve a â&#x20AC;&#x153;subterranean invasionâ&#x20AC;? of private property, both affect the land and its future development and both are for companies involved in the transportation of energy resources. Hanigan represents several Iowa landowners, including Cyndy Coppola, whose family owns land near Somers. Coppola has been actively protesting the pipeline. A pipeline crew cleared the pipeline easement on her property in August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how Dakota Access can seize my familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm,â&#x20AC;? Coppola said in a written statement last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dakota Access is a private, out-of-state company and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not right. Worse, we are fighting what I believe to be an unethical corporation transporting hazardous, fracked oil and getting no help from our own government.â&#x20AC;?

Redenius Chiropractic volunteers services to Titans While the community may know Dr. Jeff Redenius for providing chiropractic, nutritional, and preventative health care to the community, being a certified and licensed athletic trainer has also allowed him to treat injuries for community members of all ages. Most recently, he has outreached his services to local high school students around the community, volunteering his time as a licensed athletic trainer for South Central Calhoun County Community School District Redenius primarily works with the SCC football team; however, he offers free evaluations to all student-

athletes when he visits the school on Thursday afternoons. Many community members have probably seen Redenius, a licensed athletic trainer, on the football field on Friday nights at both home and away games, taping ankles and providing necessary care to the student athletes. Athletic training was Redeniusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first passion. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree from Central College and passing the boards to become a licensed athletic trainer, he served as the head athletic trainer for two semi-professional rugby teams throughout his doctoral work. While holding the position as the

head athletic trainer, he had the opportunity to evaluate and treat multiple concussion injuries as well as various other sports related injuries, spending evenings and afternoons with the rugby teams. Redenius uses ImPact Testing to evaluate concussion as well as incorporates the Iowa High School Athletic Association concussion protocol and guidelines to ensure safe return to play for high school athletes. He treats injuries in the clinic as well as in the state-of-the-art fitness center to promote the best opportunities for quick healing.

Rotary expands offerings by adding monthly evening meeting By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor As workplaces and communities changes, so must community organizations, Rockwell City Rotary President Theresa Hildreth says. The club meets at noon each Friday, a time that works for many professionals later in their careers, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accommodate teachers, stay-at-home parents or people who work outside of Rockwell City

or Lake City, she said. With that in mind, the club is testing out an evening meeting time, with the first such gathering set for 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Lynchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Rockwell City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My real goal is to encourage younger membership,â&#x20AC;? Hildreth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need those under 40 members.â&#x20AC;? But, she said, she can understand the challenges facing younger community members when they consider joining a service club. Regular Rotary membership dues include a week-

ly lunch and members are expected to attend as many of the weekly gatherings as possible. Hildreth said the alternative meeting will cost less â&#x20AC;&#x201C; attendees can buy food or drinks if they want â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and just once a month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By design, their group can figure out how often they want to meet, how they can meet and what they want it to be,â&#x20AC;? Hildreth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a little less formal (than the weekly club meetings).â&#x20AC;? Members of the new group will have a chance to plan their own community service events, as well as

participate in the weekly clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a dinner dance each spring, a golf tournament in the fall, Christmas gifts for children in lowincome families and, new this year, a fish fry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rotary is a community service organization,â&#x20AC;? Hildreth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just people who want to make our community better by tackling a lot of projects. So much of our money and so much of what we do stays here at home. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much better than giving to somebody and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where it goes.â&#x20AC;?

Empty Nest By Curt Swarm Housewarming Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all invited! Ginnie and I were married here, we added on here, we want you here. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a housewarming/open house on Sunday, October 9th, from 12:00 noon until 4:00 p.m. Lunch will be provided. We intend to feed you, not fatten you up. The address is 2471 Marsh Ave., Mt. Pleasant. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about two miles east of Mt. Pleasant on Highway 34. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss it. Look for the junk, I mean sculptures, and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Empty Nest Artâ&#x20AC;? sign. Ginnie is having a conniption fit trying to get ready, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll live or not, but Buddy and I will be here, for sure. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to meet Buddy! I might even give him a B-A-T-H. Darn dog can spell. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been intending to have a housewarming ever since we moved in, so Ginnie can invite her Ottumwa friends, and I can invite my cronies. The reason itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken us so long to invite yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;all is because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve added on in a big way. We only had a onecar garage, and Ginnie claimed that right pronto to make her commute to Ottumwa easierâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no scraping windows early in the morning. We added on three more garage spaces, right where we were married. It includes an exercise room and, because we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a basement, a storm-shelter underneath, and an attic overhead for storage. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always maintained, figure out what you need, then double it. A year later it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough. We closed on our little 2 Â˝ acre geezer farm on September 28th last year. Then we got married in the back yard on Oct 10th. So, one day after the housewarming, is our oneyear anniversary. I better not blow this and forget to get Ginnie a little somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like a post-hole digger for the John Deere. Gotta build some fence. I know Sundays are big football days. So, for you NFL fanatics, I promise to have the games on in various rooms of the house and garage.

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HAPPENING

In case of rain, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be eating in the garage, so no problem there. I may ask you to help clear the garden for fall plowing, so bring gloves and work boots. I worked real hard getting the exercise room ready for the housewarming. I installed a tv, painted the room, and laid down carpet tile. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the limits of my handyman abilities. While I was doing all this, I got to thinking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hmm, instead of an exercise room for the treadmill and elliptical machine, how â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bout a man cave?â&#x20AC;? When I broached the subject to Ginnie, she took umbrage and pointed out that I already had the barn. Dangit!

I was looking at the tarp I laid down to protect the floor while I was painting. It reminds me a lot of what you might call â&#x20AC;&#x153;modern art.â&#x20AC;? In fact, I think I just might frame a chunk and put it on display. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll call it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drop Cloth.â&#x20AC;? Gotta go now. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always something to do on the farm. See you on the 9th. This house will serve the Lord. Have a good story? Call or text Curt Swarm in Mt. Pleasant at 319217-0526, email him at curtswarm@ yahoo.com or find him on Facebook. Curtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories are also read at 106.3 FM in Farmington.

Wee Read promotes reading to children from birth What parents want their child to start school at a disadvantage, one that could impact that child for life? A strong reading ability is paramount to a successful education and leads to advantages throughout life. One of the most effective things you can do for your child is to start reading aloud at infancy! The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes the importance of reading to children from infancy. The AAP says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reading regularly with young children stimulates optimal patterns of brain development and strengthens parent-child relationships at a critical time in child development, which, in turn, builds language, literacy, and social-emotional skills that last a lifetime.â&#x20AC;? The Lake City Public Library Friends of the Library now coordinates the Wee Read program which supplies new parents at Stewart Memorial Hospital with a Friends/volunteer-sewn book bag filled with a board book, information on how to read with your child at all ages, the

importance of reading with your child, information about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;1,000 Books Before Kindergartenâ&#x20AC;? program, as well as information about our local library. The Capri Theater has generously supported this program over the past several years. Marci Duncan spearheaded Wee Read for the FOL for the past several years. She recently resigned her position on the Friends board. Mary Gutshall will now be in charge of driving Wee Read. The original founders of the program were a group of teachers who recognized the importance of reading aloud to children of all ages. Jeanne Devine, a longtime teacher at Lincoln School, attended a reading conference and came home inspired to start a reading movement in her community. In 1995, she was joined by other teachers Dottie Loeck, Bernece Frohling, and Mary Voith. They named the program Wee Read, designed the logo and reading bags, planned the contents, filled and distributed the bags to new parents at our local hospital. Later,

Jan Block and Carmen Picht joined the committee. It was initially supported financially by the local school system. Wee Read program gifts an average of 100 bags per year at a cost of approximately $7.50 per bag. Marci Duncan sums up her involvement and dedication to reading by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have loved being part of this program! I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to establish the routine of reading to your child - even before they are old enough to understand what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always treasured that time with my girls at the end of the day and am grateful that we made reading together a priority. I hope that the Wee Read program is encouraging other parents to read with their children and to use the resources in our library along the way.â&#x20AC;?

In school, he participated in football, basketball, baseball, golf, FFA, band and vocal. On June 22, 2012, Todd married Chelsea Schleisman at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Lake City.

He left behind two beautiful babies. Tyler 3, and Tessa, 1. He will forever be guiding them through this tough thing we call life. They love their daddy more than anything and I pray their love always stays strong. He loved me, his wife, more than life itself. And I do the same for him. He was an amazing husband and perfect father. His legacy will live on and our love will stay strong.â&#x20AC;?

Earl Bartels Earl Karl William Bartels was born on December 27, 1937, to Elmer and Hinreka (Hameister) Bartels in the same home that he spent most of his life in and now is home to his son Doug and family. He grew up there with his brother Glen and sister Ruth, who now live in Hanover and Des Moines respectively. He was a life long member of EmanuelSt. John Lutheran Church and found much comfort from his fellow adult Sunday school learners. In his many walks of life, he passed on these lessons: 1) Consider driving a school bus... who knows, you may carry a student who could become your future wife someday. (Earl graduated from Lytton High School in 1955. The following year he started driving a school bus. Nelda (Kreft) Bartels rode that bus. They were married on July 7, 1963. He drove school bus for 35+ years.) 2) Spend time in a friendly game of cards or checkers with those you love, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend the night playing cards when you are supposed to be on a date with that cute young girl who used to ride your bus. She wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it. 3) Take every opportunity to have fun with kids. Earl lived this out by greeting each of his bus kids every morning by name and giving them Snickerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at Christmas. He had a friendly competition with his substi-

Residing at Sunny Knoll Care Centre in Rockwell City, Darlene â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sisâ&#x20AC;? D. Ohrtman-90, d ied Friday, September 30, 2016, at Stewart Memorial Hospital in Lake City, Iowa. Funeral services were held at 2:30 p.m. Monday, October 10, at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lutheran & Presbyterian Church, Rockwell City, with Pastor James Hoover Mossman, Rev. Eric Ohrtman (grandson) and Rev. Craig Groseclose (Loralee Ohrtmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband) officiating. Visitation was held from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday at the Palmer & Swank Funeral Home, Rockwell City. Burial will be at Rosehill Cemetery. Sis had confronted cancer for more than two decades. Most of her life was spent in the Jolley, Fonda, Lytton, and Rockwell City area after her birth on a farm near Jolley, March 22, 1926. Sis attended school in Jolley, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish high school during the War years. She moved into the Wartime work force at the glove factory in Fort Dodge, completing her GED while there. Vowing never to see him again, Sis and her sister Doris shut the window down on Wayne Ohrtmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head during a dance on the second floor of the grocery store in Jolley. Upon his return from the European front, she was united in marriage with Wayne Foster Ohrtman from Lytton

LaVere LaRue, of Wauconda, Illinois, passed peacefully from this world on September 30, 2016, at the age of 95. Born Inez LaVere Wellington, December 13, 1920, to Floyd Bryan and Helen Catherine (Curry) Wellington in Lake City, IA. Growing up in town, LaVere delighted in gatherings with her many cousins; band (concert and marching), orchestra, woodwind groups, and chorus in high school; and dancing, at which she excelled. After graduation, she played in the adult band, giving weekly concerts in the public square band shell. For three years, she was on staff at The Lake City Graphic.

tute bus driver over who was more popular with the kids. (Nelda was his substitute.) 4) Love your family. It will increase the chances of them loving you back and maybe even moving to the area. (Earlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Barb and husband Doug Riley, daughter Teresa and husband Kurt Van Hulzen, son Doug and wife Jamie (Lynch) Bartels, and daughter Julie and husband Ryan Wheelock all live within 5 miles of where he and Nelda lived in Lytton. Grandchildren Colten (and Ashley Toms), Ty and Kortney Riley, Andrew, Sarah and Joshua Van Hulzen, Lily and Jack Bartels and Eli, Adlen, and Sadie Wheelock and his dear great grandson Sawyer Riley love to visit.) 5) Make work fun! Sing when you walk beans and pick up rocks. (Earlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal favorite was â&#x20AC;&#x153;You Are My Sunshineâ&#x20AC;?.) When pulling button weeds out of the corn, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always fun to hide a bit and sneak up behind your fellow workers to scare the Snickers and Pepsi right out of them. 6) Know no strangers. Find out where people are from and keep talking until you find how you are connected. 7) Life is short. Attend all the school events you and your spouse can, do lots of spontaneous things with your family like giving motorcycle rides and fishing with your grandkids, and spend time with

friends drinking coffee at Sparkyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. You may be busyâ&#x20AC;Śtoo busy to take both pant legs out of your boots, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth it. 8) Provide for your family! Ways to save include: checking your oil and fuel efficiency religiously, drive a motorcycle not because it is cool but because it gets good gas mileage, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw things away easily (a calculator watch can be fixed with a little scotch tape if necessary.) Twine stringâ&#x20AC;Śuse lots and lots of twine string. 9) Appreciate the gifts God has given you. Earl would count as gifts his chance to farm, to drive a race car, and the many chances to meet people as he enjoyed his 54+ years of trucking for Glasnapp Transfer. 10) Make faith in God the center of all you do. Earl valued family devotions, playfully quizzing his children on the 10 commandments/ books of the Bible, and holding hands at weekly family meals thanking God for their blessings. Further adviceâ&#x20AC;Ś.go to church and wear your Bible out. On October 7, 2016, Earl began his celebration in heaven with his son Brian and his parents Elmer and Hinreka Bartels. Funeral service for Earl was held at 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, October 11, 2016, at Emanuel-St. John Lutheran Church in Lytton, IA, with Rev. Ben Worley officiating. Burial will be

Darlene Ohrtman December 14, 1945. He never made the mistake of making fun of Jolley again. The couple made their home in Jolley where he worked as a carpenter. In 1957, when their son Dennis was ten, the family followed Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employer to Algona where lumberyards were opened in Algona, Sexton, and Otteson. Although she was a homemaker for most of her married life, Darlene took pride in detailed finish work in each of the houses they built together for living or speculation. Daughter Diane was born shortly after moving to Algona. Hand-in-hand and door-to-door, the two of them became a pair in sales of popular Avon products in the 1960s. She and Wayne were Luther League advisors at First Lutheran in Algona. In 1966 the couple returned to a family farm near Fonda for six years. Wayne returned to native Lytton in 1973 where he and Darlene continued to work in carpentry. She shared her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for fishing although she preferred the motorhome-years to those under blankets and tarps, warmed by lanterns and pestered by mosquitos. In 1985, Wayne and Darlene took a 14-month motor home journey to Lewiston, ID to build a new home for their son Dennis and his family. Wayne passed away in 1991 after their return to Lytton. Darlene

moved to Rockwell City to be closer to one of her sisters, Doris Warner, in 1997 until moving to Shady Oaks in Lake City in 2010. There she began her private war with progressive dementia. After leaving Lytton, she became a member of St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lutheran & Presbyterian Church in Rockwell City. Several years ago she moved to Sunny Knoll. She was preceded in death by her husband; parents, Clarence M. and Adah V. Johnson Ellis; infant brother Dean Ellis; and Pvt. Wayne M. Ellis who was one of the first World War II combat deaths from Calhoun County; twin granddaughters; sisters Doris Warner and Donna Lee Stehr, and brothers-in-law Bud Warner and Daryl Stehr, niece Diane North, and great nephew Randy Hanson. Darlene is survived by her son Dennis Ohrtman and his wife Carol of Lewiston Idaho; daughter Diane Vavak and her husband Timothy of Rockwell City; six grandchildren; three step-grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. Special gratitude to the staff at both Sunny Knoll and Shady Oaks, as well as caretakers Tim and Diane Vavak. Additional thanks to Stewart Memorial Hospital and the Calhoun County Ambulance crews for special attention over the last decade.

During a long visit in Chicago an aunt and her family, LaVere fell in love with the city. She moved there in 1942, where she soon met a young mechanical engineer: Mervin W. LaRue, Jr. They married on May 20, 1945. LaVere chose to be a homemaker and was a fine seamstress, interior decorator, cook, and hostess. The couple celebrated 60 years together in 2005. LaVere cherished her girlhood friends and memories. She served enthusiastically on reunion committees for the Class of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;38, and relished their gatherings. LaVere returned often to Lake City until after her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, in 1996. She last visited over Memorial Day, 2011, meeting up with classmates Mardyce Clark and Bob Adams. LaVere was preceded in death by her husband Mervin, infant daughter Jan, her parents, and her uncles James and Harry Curry. She is survived by daughters MichĂ¨le LaRue

The Graphic-Advocate

County again receives workers compensation discount By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Calhoun County is again receiving high marks from its workers compensation insurance provider. The county will pay $73,000 for workers compensation insurance this year, insurance agent Renee Stauter told the Board of Supervisors Oct. 4, although the full premium is actually $207,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have fantastic safety going on here,â&#x20AC;? Stauter said. Scott Smith, a loss control representative with the Iowa Municipal Workers Compensation Association, praised the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to create a safe workplace, in a letter Stauter brought to the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Calhoun County has made a serious commitment to employee safety and it shows,â&#x20AC;? Smith wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The county has an active and strong safety committee. Their efforts have supported developing a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Culture of Safetyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; within the county and among its employees. They are very committed to making sure the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

employees go home safe. Their efforts have result in both direct savings to the county (in premiums) as well as the indirect costs associated with employees being absent due to workplace injuries (lost productivity, increased stress, overtime fatigue, etc.).â&#x20AC;? Smith said Calhoun County is one of just 11 of IMWCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 527 members to receive the best practice status â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the county has received it for several consecutive years. Factors IMWCA considers when determining which entities receive the award include implementing strategies to identify hazards, to train employees about hazards and how to return to work, Smith said. The result of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts include employees going home safely, reduced lost work time, increased productivity and higher morale, Smith said. Stauter explained to the board that all IMWCA entities start with a score of 1.0 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Calhoun Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety programs and injury rates are considered and scored, and the county ended with a score of 0.74. There are counties, she said, with

scores of as high as 1.2, which means those counties pay more than their premium to offset high injury rates and low safety scores. Stauter also presented information about the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other insurance policies; supervisors asked Stauter to find out if the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liability insurance covers them if they are sued for failure to fully comply with a Freedom of Information Act request. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told by the attorneys (working on) the Des Moines Water Works (case) that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re personally liable for that,â&#x20AC;? Supervisor Scott Jacobs said. Supervisors Chairman Mike Cooper said one attorney told him an elected official who failed to turn over all documents deemed to be public could face loss of office, a $2,500 fine and be required to cover all attorney costs related to a FOIA suit. The board has received several FOIA and Iowa Freedom of Information Council requests this year relating to Water Works lawsuit documents and has turned over a number of documents. Supervisors said they are concerned that they could miss a document and be sued.

In other business, County Engineer Zac Andersen told the board Dakota Access is planning to test the pipeline in Calhoun County with water this fall, if construction proceeds as planned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their original plan was to discharge (the water used in the pressure test) in Calhoun County,â&#x20AC;? Andersen said, adding he had some concerns about that plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to know where the water is being discharged.â&#x20AC;? Now, he said, he heard the water will be discharged in Webster or Buena Vista counties. Dakota Access has a permit from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources for the water discharge, he said. The company completed all 20 road bores along the route from Red Oak Avenue northwest to the county line, Andersen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are starting to put in their temporary entrances (from Red Oak Avenue to the southeast),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to push hard to get here. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still doing work in Story and Boone counties.â&#x20AC;?

ADAZA Many of us enjoyed the chicken and noodle dinner served Saturday October 1st by the United Methodist Church in Lanesboro. Getting the dinner as carry-outs provided a hot meal for those harvesting their fields. Dick Boudrie of Los Alamos, NM, has come to Iowa to help with harvesting this fall. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Barb Winkelmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son-in-law, the former Nancy Winkelman is his wife and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be arriving later. Ten members of the Adaza Thursday Club and a guest, Rita Schmitt, had a very interesting get-together

at Lou Blanchfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home on the 6th. Lou had all the supplies needed for each to paint an item for fall dĂŠcor, on canvas, pumpkins or a glass mug. The results were surprising and amazing! Lou had lunch consisting of caramel apple pie, filled cupcakes, hot cider and coffee. It was sure a cozy way to spend the afternoon with friends, while watching the rain drops bounce on the surface of the nearby pond! Many also paid dues for the next year and agreed on meeting plans for the remainder of the year.

Apple of My Eye Crisp autumn air and a bit of sunshine accompanied Shady Oaks residents to their yearly Community Orchard visit in Fort Dodge.

After indulging in their sweet treat, they ventured around the shop looking at various items the orchard has to offer. From salsa to flavored popcorn,

LOHRVILLE My thought for the day is: There are three types of people: those who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in the world; those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you might succeed. The trivia question for the week is: What were the first names of the Five Cherry Sisters? A Vaudeville act, that was so bad they became popular. On Tuesday, the Helping Hand Club met at the home of Bette Knapp at 1:30. Six members answered roll call with a school memory. Election of Officers was held with Marylin Anderson elected as President, Bette Knapp as Vice President and Sheila Cline as Secretary/Treasurer. The club will be donating $50 to the Lohrville Food Pantry and $25 for a raffle ticket. The proceeds going for

Mike McCartyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip to Honduras. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Subject of Choiceâ&#x20AC;? was given by Bette Knapp on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Early Christmasâ&#x20AC;? and other articles she had collected over the years. Refreshments were served by Bette Knapp and enjoyed by all. David and Frieda Post of Osage and Sally Zuspann of Fort Dodge, were Tuesday afternoon visitors and luncheon guests of Dorothy Siemann. Our birthday best wishes go out to: Alan Lohr on the 18th and Butch Parker on the 20th. Hope you both had a good one. The answer to the trivia question is: Addie, Effie, Ella, Lizzie and Jessie. So until next week, have a good one.

SUNNYVIEW â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have you driven by Jim and Janet Haubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house on Lake Street? They have the most BEAUTIFUL Cockscomb Celosia red flowers blooming in their yard. I asked Jim about it and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you want one?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I thought about it and when Iola told me one was lying on the ground I called and said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, I do want one!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I brought it to Sunnyview, added some cuttings from along the road and placed it in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Great Room.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thank you Jim and Janet, I love the color, the beauty of fall every day when I walk by this showy deep red dried flower.â&#x20AC;? Submitted by Jo Ann Maguire, picture by Marlene Stacy. Several residents stopped in at the Sunnyview front lobby for a flu shot on Wednesday morning, October 5th. We are thankful -- the Stewart Memorial Hospital representatives came to us instead of the other way around. How about this recent weather! Thank goodness, the eastern Iowa flooding has passed and Cedar Rapids did not get another â&#x20AC;&#x153;2008â&#x20AC;? flood. The people on the east coast are in our prayers as they deal with hurricane Matthew. We hope that our snow birds will be safe as they travel south. Technology can be a wonderful thing. Many of us use computers every day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are great when they work! When you get a new computer or a new phone and you start

all over learning how to use it, that might not be so great. At first it may seem counter-productive to make the change when you have everything arranged and organized on you old system. Oh well, such is the price of progress! We might say we are helping the economy, right? Here is an experiment. The next time you are with a group of people and everyone is really hungry, try asking for definitions for the following words. You may get interesting answers. Cold Front: (What you get when you stand in front of an open refrigerator too long.) Appeal: (What a banana is wrapped in.) Assault: (What you use with a pepper.) The Big Dipper: (Someone you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get behind at an all-you-can-eat buffet.) Speaking of the Big Dipper, do you like to watch the moon and stars? We remember from school that our view of the constellations depends on the tilt of the earth on its axis. So, with the winter season we see the stars differently than we do in the summer. No matter what the season, though, on a clear night when the moon is full, we can look for the man in the moon. By the way, how does the man in the moon eat his supper? In satellite dishes. Remember, our website is www. sunnyviewil.com, and the coffee is always on.

SUNNY KNOLL We had quite the show last Friday! Gary Weldon and his â&#x20AC;&#x153;dummiesâ&#x20AC;? came and entertained us for the afternoon. We had a full house and served root beer floats. I would like to thank Duff Buttolph and Doris Hunt for helping dish up floats and pass drinks. Gary sang some Frank Sinatra and danced around the room. We would like to thank everyone who sponsored Gary and his show. We look forward to seeing him again next year. Everyone at Sunny Knoll would like to send their condolences to the family of Darlene Ohrtman. Darlene will be missed by all who knew her. Darlene loved to smile, talk about her family and play cards. I used to harass her that she kept a winning

hand up her sleeve. We focused on fall with our fall collages Wednesday afternoon. We looked through Our Iowa magazines and picked out the things that reminded us of fall. We found lots of pictures with pumpkins and gourds, farmers in the field, the changing leaves and caramel apples. Everyone made their own collages of their favorite things and they we passed them around to share what we had created. It got us reminiscing of the late nights in the fields, the canning for winter and how beautiful the trees are during this time of the year. If you get a chance to look at the doors in the hallways we hung up our works of art for everyone to see. Jennifer Roberts-Activity Director

CENTRAL SCHOOL REMEMBERS October, 1991 25 Years Ago

Wow! What a great week the Homecoming Centennial week turned out to be! There were record crowds at all the events from the opening ceremonies on Monday, September 23, through the closing ceremonies on Sunday, September 29, for both the Alumni and the school’s homecoming activities. On Friday, the Alumni board members on their float joined the students of the Southern Cal School for the parade. On Saturday morning, alumni arrived at Historic Central School for a continental breakfast followed in the afternoon by a concert at the Fanny Howell Auditorium. [Other activities continued through the week for students and alumni.] Bacon, 12 oz., 1.19; 81% Lean Ground Beef, lb., 1.59; Gold Medal Flour, 5 lbs., 1.19 —Jerry’s Foodland. Homecoming Queen and court for the Southern Cal Homecoming last week were Jenny Ahrens, Mickey Fahan, Queen Christy Ludwig, Corey Finley and Debbie Stickrod. Guests at a family picnic in the home of Pati Jo and Jim Daisy Saturday were: George Taylor, Chicago, Il; Leona Daisy, Lake City; Sharon Kirby, Indianola, IA; her children: Shelly & Gregg Priebe, Zachary, Margaret & Tucker, Indianola, IA: John, Carol & Jacob Kirby, Carroll, IA; Kayla & Barry Reese, Jessica & Thomas, Gladbrook, IA; Byron, Diane & Amanda Kirby, Lohrville, IA; Rosemary Mapel, Buffalo, MO, and

her children, Audry & Wayne Green, Nathan & Calvin Urbana, MO; Maxine Berry and son Trenton, Tunis, MO. Virginia & Charles Lane, Lake City, Andy & Deanne Grantham, Katie and Tom of Lake City, Lucinda Smith, Mathew & Allison of Lohrville, IA; JR & Jolene Mapel, Lake City, and their children, Mark & Valerie Mapel, Michelle & Megan, Lake City, Penny & Bob Nissen & Chris of Lake City and Becky Nissen of Spencer, IA; K.C. & Martin Broich & Erin of Alta, Ia. Alumni Report – Every fall thousands of mothers either wave goodbye from the front porch to their five year old child, or deposit him or her at the door of the school where they start their education. And that day is the day when Hester Crosswait stood at the door of the Kindergarten room in Lake with a gentle understanding smile on her face to greet the countless little people who were entering a new world. Her success as a first teacher has been proven by countless visits and letters from those former pupils, by the fact she was made grand marshall of the Western Days Parade, by her countless friends of all walks of life and the dedication of the Hester Crosswait Room at Historic Central School where she taught. Dwight Dial, Executive Board member and first President of the Central School Preservation Corporation, requested the honor of presenting Hester, his first teacher, and her family with the Crosswait History Plaque. Wayne and Fern Huffman recently

donated a 25 foot flagpole and nylon flag to Shady Oaks as a memorial to their late nephew, Steve Huffman. They had worked many years together with Steve, managing the Huffman Funeral Home of Lake City. Because of he deep interest in education, Irma [Spencer Young (Mrs. Pershing Young)] who attended Central School decided to dedicate a window to her youngest brother, Elmo, the victim of a heart attack when he was very young, and just started farming. Very soon after giving the window, Irma decided that the room should be named to honor the entire family and so the former first grade room [Southeast room, main floor] now bears the name of the Spencer Room. It is very fitting that one of the Central School rooms be named for a farmer and his family. Lake City’s economy is dependant on agriculture – which just happens to be the largest industry in the world. Local girls participated in the Civic Dance Troupe Invitational Dance Contest held Sunday, October 6, at the Holiday Inn-Fort Dodge. These girls placed first in their Tap division. The girls are students of Vicky’s Dance Academy of Lake City. They are: Alissa Rogeler, Melanie Iler, Randi Coon, Heather Handles, Jennifer Dowling and Jill Harris. Do to the overwhelming demand and sellout of four performances of “Steel Magnolia,” Village Square Theatre will add another performance at the Victorian Tea Room [in Breda] Friday, November 1, at 7 p.m.

October, 1941 75 Years Ago

A new wayside park, sponsored by the Lake City Kiwanis club, is to be built just west of town, on highway 175. Plans have been okayed by the state highway department and work will start on the project soon. Judges and attorneys of the sixteenth judicial district of Iowa, one hundred per cent, gathered at the court house in Rockwell City Tuesday to pay homage to the memory of the late Judge M. E. Hutchison, of Lake City, whose death occurred August 4, 1941. John W. Jacobs, or Lake City, S. A. Frick and F. F. Thompson, of Rockwell City, represented Calhoun county, and their tributes to a man who was honored for his integrity, both in his personal and professional life, were spoken as only could be spoken by persons whose associations with Judge Hutchison were intimate and friendly. Lake City’s new $19,000 modern hotel, a large attractive two-story building under construction on East Main street since last June, is now nearing completion and will have a formal opening Sunday, Oct. 12, it was announced this week by the owners and proprietors, Mrs. Mary Acklin and son Charles. The hotel, which was built on the site of the old hotel on the lot east of McCrary hospital, is one of the most modern-like structures in this part of Iowa and compares in modern accommodations with metropolitan hotels. The new hotel is both a fine addition and credit to Lake City’s business district

and to its owners. The famous temperance play, “Ten Nights in a Barroom,” in talking picture form, will be presented in the Christian church, with Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist churches cooperating, Friday evening, Oct 10, at 7:30 o’clock. After a thorough survey of program features, the Iowa AntiSaloon League selected this picture as the best method of bringing temperance information to persons of all ages. In addition to the picture there will be a brief talk by the Rev. C. C. McCaw of Des Moines, superintendent of the League, which will deal with the modern liquor problem. Eagles Echoes – Sympathy is what one girl offers another in return for details. The Riverview Saddle Barn, built in keeping with the revival of the old tradition of saddle horse stables is nearing completion on Riverview farm west of Lake City. The exterior of the large stable which has been painted white similar to other buildings on the farm, has an attractive “hobby horse” mounted on the gable. Opening Dance over Jones’ Hardware, Saturday, October 18. Music by Ausie Curtis and his orchestra featuring the electric Sol-O-Vox. Fun for Everyone – Ladies, 20c, Gents 30c. The bleachers for which everyone has been waiting are in the making at West View field. The structure will be located on the north side of the football field. It will be 150 feet long and 18 feet wide. The stands will have a seating capacity of ap-

proximately 400 people. There will be a section in the center for the band. Fencing will be so constructed that no one can walk in front of the bleachers. This is a W. P. A. project and most of the materials are being furnished by the government. Used Cars At Give Away Prices: 1938 DeLuxe Plymouth Town Sedan, $385; 1936 Ford Deluxe Fordor, $265; (2) 1836 DeLuxe Plymouth Town Sedan, $250; 1935 Plymouth Coach, $155; 1935 Ford Tudor $145. —Sherman Chevrolet Company Gabble Tattle Prattle – Was driving south on Center Street at about 10:00 o’clock last Saturday night and it took all of ten minutes to get thru the block past the post office. Cars were double parked the full length of the block on both sides of the street and there seemed to be room for only a single line of traffic through the center. But eventually the throng loosened itself up, nobody was hurt and no fenders were jammed, and after all, there’s nothing like a lot of activity in the business district to make a town prosper.

FROM THE TITANSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; DESK

Spotlight Aspen Ellis By Lindsey Sweeney Aspen Lynn Ellis of Lake City is a part of the South Central Calhoun High School class of 2017. Aspenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan after high school is to join the U.S. Army. In high school, some of Aspenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best memories include staying in the hotels with the cheer team. Aspen was a part of various activities while in high school such as band, flags, basketball and foot-

ball cheer, dance team, and FFA. When asked, Aspen said she would miss the social aspect of high school the most. Aspenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest inspirations include her aunts, uncles, and cousins. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most looking forward to finding out where she will go after basic training. In 10 years, Aspen sees herself in another country, traveling the world. Aspenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice to underclassmen is to do everything you can because the time goes by fast.

Lindsey Sweeney By Aspen Ellis Lindsey Anna Sweeney is from Rockwell City. After college, she plans to go to South Dakota State University to study early elementary education. In the past four years, Lindsey has been involved in FFA, vocal, rotary, and Lady Patriots. Her favorite part of high school is getting

to know the student body. One of her most memorable moments of high school was going to Dairy Queen at 12:30 in the morning to go get ice cream at state FFA. In her free time, Lindsey likes to spend time with her family camping or going to the races. Her advice to underclassmen is to make the most of high school because it goes by fast!

MaKayla Patterson By Cade Carstens During Makaylaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four years of high school, she has played many roles in activities such as football manager, volleyball player, cheerleader, wrestler, and a track and field athlete. She describes her favorite memory as participating in her junior class skit. After high school, Makayla is planning to either attend college or join the U.S. Air Force. After her

adventures, Makayla is planning to work as a surgical technician. Makaylaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest motivation is her future and the goals she has set for herself. When sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not striving to reach her goals, one of Makaylaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite pastimes is watching Netflix, with her favorite movie being â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Out.â&#x20AC;? Makaylaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words of wisdom to underclassman are, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mess around freshman year; it really does mean a lot.â&#x20AC;?

The first rotation of the 7th Grade Music Exploratory Class participated in a Jitterbug Contest at SCC Middle School last week. The contest concluded a unit on Benny Goodman.

Let the Good Times Reel By Jordan Ludwig and Seth Stamp Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all had that moment when you realize you get to watch a film in class. When we were in elementary school, this was easily marked by a TV on a cart. Now, our teachers have the choice to give us advanced notice or to surprise us with a movie. The days that you get to watch movies in class are indisputably some of the highlights of what can be an otherwise bleak high school career. One thing that can either enhance or dull the experience is which movie is being seen. We asked students what the best movie theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in class was, and we received a vast ar-

ray of answers that resonated on a personal level. Some of the answers we received are â&#x20AC;&#x153;300,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gladiator,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frozen,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frailty,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saving Private Ryan,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twelve Angry Men.â&#x20AC;? These films were watched for different reasons: some for historical context, others for deep thinking skills, and one for foreign language recognition. We may have had different emotion reactions to the films as well. Some were riveting, a few were novel, and one was just plain gory. What matters is they all gave us the indescribable excitement that, for one day, we could relax. Let this last statement serve as an open letter to teachers: never stop showing us films in class; we absolutely love it.

Letter to the Editor Reader encourages residents to vote for Batz To the Editor: As we all know it is election time. In Calhoun County there is an important election going on, that is the race for auditor. We have two qualified candidates for this position both work at the Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Having worked for Calhoun County for 28+ years I feel the best qualified person for this position is Robin Batz. She is a valuable asset to the county as an employee and would be very beneficial as our County Auditor. I have had the pleasure of working

with Robin in various aspects of her job in the auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. She is very knowledgeable on every aspect of all the duties that are done in the auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and she is also knowledgeable in the duties of other county offices. When it comes to crunch time she is very level headed, detailed orientated, and will not get frustrated. So therefore I hope that when you vote you will support Robin Batz, for County Auditor. Linda Ellis

By Ryan Brown Every fall, the students at SCC have the option to join speech, a statewide competition. Of the many categories of speech, Improvisation, or Improv, is arguably one of the most difficult. Even though the entire category is making up ideas as you go along, it does consist of some basic rules. There can be up to five people in an improv group, but it can be challenging to find a place for everyone in a group that big, so therefore, a group of three to four people is ideal. The time limit is five minutes, but before that is perhaps the most difficult part: the planning.

One person draws a prompt for three different scenarios and then chooses the best one for their skill sets. There is usually a designated leader in the group that plans most of the improv, because from the moment the group draws, they get two minutes to plan and assign characters for everyone. Once the time is up, the group must perform based on the ideas they created. While this sounds hard and many people wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dream of standing in front of a crowd without being prepared, improv is very rewarding. It can be fun with the right group, and it can help people get over their stage fright. There is also a worthwhile feeling once the contest is finished, knowing you did your best.

Sixth-grade students at South Central Calhoun Middle School are studying Ancient Civilizations in Social Studies this year. One of the projects they have been working on is a group activity where they are in charge of running Ancient Egypt, students had to prioritize their use of money ( sacks of grain), they had to gather the materials and construct items that they would need to build a pyramid, while having to keep the empire running smoothly. Students also learned that they would have to please the people or the people or they would rise up against you and take your money, and you also had to placate gods or the natural world can retribution. Students worked in groups and did a fantastic job, while experiencing daily life in ancient Egypt. PHOTO PROVIDED

Titans bounce back with big home win By Doug Dornath With the 2016 regular season winding down and the high school football playoffs looming in two weeks, the South Central Calhoun Titans varsity team bounced back from its first Class 2A, District 7 loss last week and remained in solid playoff contention by rolling to a 48-7 victory over Underwood in Lake City Friday, Oct. 7. “After last week’s end of the game debacle, I thought our kids bounced back and played much better,” said SCC head coach Bryan Case of his team’s effort against the Eagles. “Underwood has a lot of good athletes and our kids did a nice job of playing responsibility football. I thought we controlled most of the game, but we still did not execute at times. We’re still working to get better and we’re still looking to improve.” The Titans are now 4-1 in District 7 and are 5-2 overall as they host Red Oak (0-5, 1-6) this Friday night, Oct. 14, in Lake City for Parent’s Night and week eight of the high school football season.

Against Underwood, the Titans capitalized on three Eagle turnovers including an interception return for a touchdown by Kody Case, while its offense finished with 348 total yards and the SCC defense held Underwood to 156 total yards. Scoring started for SCC on the opening kickoff as Chase McAlister scored a 77-yard kickoff return to help put the Titans up 7-0 early. SCC made it 14-0 with 5:42 left in the first quarter as Hunter Muhlbauer connected with Case on a 57-yard pass completion and touchdown. The Titans would score twice more in the second quarter to lead 28-0 at the half.With 10:14 left in the first half, Muhlbauer scored on a one-yard run to go up 20-0, and with only 15 seconds remaining in the half, Jonathon Frantz score on a three-yard run. Case added a two-point conversion run following Frantz’s touchdown run to conclude the scoring in the first half. In the third period, SCC’s defense scored the first touchdown of the second half as Case had a 66-yard interception return for a touchdown with 10:37 remaining in the quarter. The Titans made it 42-0 with 4:15 remaining in the third as Muhlbauer and Case connected on a 60-yard touchdown. Underwood’s lone score of the game came with 11:09 remaining in the fourth period as Jared Martin completed a 12-yard reception to Isaiah Humphrey to make it a 42-7 Titan lead following the PAT kick.

In advanced math, we’ve been adding and subtracting fractions when they’re negative or positive, and also multiplying and dividing. In English, we have been talking about the different types of nouns. In civics, we have been learning about government. We have been learning the different types of energy in science. Our daily volleyball practice con-

sists of warming up, running killers, and then we pass the ball and set it. Then we usually do drills that our coach tells us to do or scrimmage. At football practice, the boys do warmups for 20-25 minutes, and then they break into different groups, scrimmage, and do conditioning until their practice is over. That is what we do every day.

SCC In the Middle By Menley Cates and Mikayla Monohan Seventh graders at South Central Calhoun Middle School have had a lot going on lately with school and volleyball (and for the boys football). In reading class, we have been reading stories and quizzing over them.
