Council Hears Water Project Update By RD KEEP The Sun NEW SHARON – although there is no formal project by name, councilors in New Sharon heard an update on an upcoming water project. Jack Pope, an engineer with Garden & Associates in Oskaloosa explained to councilors the steps needed to prepare for the work require to meet De-

partment of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection agency. Pope said there at som end of the month reports he has been working on and preparation for grant applications. He said estimates for the project are $1.6 million, including engineering, legal and administrative fees, and geotechnical assistance to install a four-cell rock filter system at the city lagoons.

He said water system improvements are on the table and grant applications for those will be in January. He said in the immediate future a contract for engineering will need to be made. Randy Pleima of Mahaska Rural Water, told Councilors there is a loan available that would allow the city to borrow funds at no interest to pay for the immediate expenses such as engineering fees. The

loan could be for a period of up to three years. Council also heard reports on the recent smoke testing. Pope is awaiting the report on the testing to be included in his report to the DNR. City council members will likely be asked to consider information at the Oct. 19 meeting or the Nov. 5 meeting. City council approved seeking ap-

plications for a part-time city clerk. The applicant would be asked to work a few hours per week and cover for city clerk Lisa Munn when she is gone out of town on city business or vacation. Councilors approved building permits for Denny and Tina Davis, Jim Reed, and Tammy Rivera, and an amendment to a previously issued one to Craig Deming.

Three more permits will be considered at the Oct. 19 meeting. Shane Farnum and the Assembly of God Church, are asking for permission for a fence at the parsonage, 208 S. Mulberry. Casey’s General Stores is wishing to build an addition on their building at 205 S. Main, and Dave and Sue DeWitt have asked to build a garage and face at 505 W. Market.

Fuller Selected As Member Dogs, Permits Top of All-Iowa Dance Squad Fremont Council Agenda NEW SHARON – Tessa Fuller of North Mahaska Warhawk Dance Team was selected for the All-Iowa Honor Dance Team. The junior dancer will participate this winter at the girl’s state basketball Class 4A championship game at Wells Fargo Arena on Saturday, March 4, 2017. The performance will be televised on Iowa Public Television. Tryouts for the team were held in late August at Ames Middle School. More than 580 dancers from the state of Iowa tried out for a spot on the team. A total of 270 were selected to the team. “As her coach, I am so proud of Tessa,� said Maddie Mitchell. “She started out as my mentee five years ago when we were on the dance team together and now I have the privilege of coaching her. “She has been working hard for the last four years to become the dancer she is today. She puts in extra hours outside of practice and truly has a passion for what she is doing. We were ecstatic to hear that she had been selected for the All-Iowa Honor Dance Team. She is a great leader for our team and I’m so thankful we have her for others to look up to.� The annual dance performance is one of the many highlights during the state basketball tournament.

FREMONT – Dogs and building permits dominated the Fremont City Council meeting Oct. 2. Barking dogs began the meeting from public comment until near the end of the meeting. A decision of what to do is still on the table. Much of Monday’s focus had to do with a barking dog that has been picked up on several occasions for running loose. Councilors have received several complaints. Monday, Brenda Swearingen asked what else can be done. Others in the audience voiced the same question. It was noted by mayor John Van Zante, that this is not the only problematic canine in town, but the one that seems to be receiving the most attention. Councilor Gabby Evans, who was unable to attend the meeting, and Brent Swearingen, along with city clerk Nancy Reed have been looking into an ordinance that would take care of the problem or at least limit its impact on the community. Reed said letters have been sent to the property owner and to the

EDDYVILLE – Demolition of the dilapidated building at 203 Walnut in Eddyville is finally going to come down – just not soon enough. City Councilors have been wrestling with the problem for more than a year, but voted to borrow money to work with ISGroup in Des Moines to get the demolition started. ISG has done the engineering and

environmental studies required and have submitted a cost estimate of $110,000 to raze the building and provide a coating on walls that will be exposed. The council will have two options of covering, which will be determined before work will begin. It will likely be the end of November or December before much Physical work could occur. Councilors Doug Greenlee and Wendell Terrell thought it was in

the best interest to move forward with the project even if it meant going to the bank. “Looks like if we move forward we need to work with ISG,� said Greenleee. “I think we need to go to the bank and get it started,� added Terrell. The city could apply for a grant to assist in paying for the demolition or apply for a state loan, but both of those options would move the demolition further out. City clerk

tenant regarding the dog. Brent Swearingen said without an ordinance the only option is to use the city’s nuisance ordinance to work on a remedy. Barnes City recently passed an ordinance, but enforcement is the real issue. Last month a representative from Claws and Paws in Hedrick attended the meeting and said she would be able to take care of the situation including pickup anytime day or night including weekends, hold the animal until claimed by the owner, and would find homes for animals not claimed. The city could pay a per service fee or a yearly charge. As of Monday, they had not received a formal proposal. Councilors said Stephens Animal Shelter in Oskaloosa would only come out if there was a contract. Cost of that contract would be $3 per capita or approximately $2,250 per year. However, they would not respond at night or on weekends, and someone would have to pick up the animal and hold it until they arrive. Discussion among councilors leaned toward further contact with Claws and Paws for more clarity and cost estimates. Swearingen said

Katie Smith told councilors that whatever direction they go the city would need to contact a binding attorney. Once again, adjacent building owners Robbie Davis and Laura Johnston asked about the covering for their walls which will be exposed. Council did not state for sure what will be done with the exposed walls, but that something will have to done to protect them. N8CELK JK kf gX^\ )

there is no ordinance in place at this time, but he and Evans continue to work and hope to have a proposal for consideration at the Nov. 7 meeting. He said the ordinance would address registration, vaccinations, tags, fees and other issues surrounding animal control. City Councilors and staff will continue to research and obtain information in moving forward to prepare an ordinance to deal with the problem. Three building permits were approved. All three had construction already underway, which frustrated council members. “Not sure why we are doing this if they are already building,� said councilor JJ Howery. Permits were approved for 107 N. Walnut, for a deck; 312 Water Street for a shed, and 204 Harrison Street.

Mahaska Supes Consider $79 879 2UGLQDQFH OSKALOOSA – Off-road vehicles such all-terrain vehicles and utility vehicles could use county roads if the measure passes three readings by the Mahaska County Supervisors. The board introduced the idea and will hold a public hearing at its Oct. 17 meeting to pave the way for passage of the measure. The proposed change came after Keomah Village resident, Mike Sen-

ate, was stopped by a Iowa Department of Natural Resources officer while riding his ATV. Senate uses an ATV ride as a part of a reward for a special needs child. Senate approached the board for a change in the ordinance. The ordinance would make a provision to persons in the county to utilize UTVs and ATVs on county roadways for recreational use. Users would need to follow all applicable laws. A registration system could also be a part of that proposed ordinance. Currently, agricultural use of ATVs and UTVs is permitted, and the ordinance change would not 8KM$LKM kf gX^\ )

Approved a mitigation easement agreement between Mahaska County, Phil Griffin and the Dakota Access Pipeline. Because of the mitigation process on Griffin’s property, a government agency like the Mahaska County Conservation would then be issued funds to finish the project. The pipeline would establish an endowment after the eight-year mitigation project is completed. This is believed to relieve any potential financial burden from taxpayers. The easement passed the board with a 3-0 vote. The board of supervisors approved the Union Contract for Secondary Roads, which will be effective in July of 2017. The contract is in effect for two years.

NM Slips Past DC Junior Gridders BLOOMFIELD – The North Mahaska Junior High football Warhawks have spent the 2016 season playing games on the road. This time the Davis County Mustangs were on the receiving end of a 20-16 defeat. North Mahaska played almost error free football, committing only an interception. The young Warhawks caused a fumble and an interception, turning the tide for them. Gage Mick made the interception and Aaron Hynick recovered the fumble in the end zone to halt a sure touchdown by the Mustangs. The defense came up big time after time by holding DC on fourth down and short four times, including their last drive, which sealed the win for the Warhawks. The NM offense was not to be outdone. The offensive line was responsible for three long drives, opening holes for the running backs and converting on three fourth down situations. The offense used an off tackle play until they scored. Hayden Jones scored twice behind the line and Blake Readshaw scored once on a pass from Ty Kelderman. Kelderman also scored on a 2-point

conversion. The seventh grade had a fifth quarter scrimmage, in which they tied DC 8-8. The Warhawks wrap up the season with another road trip against Montezuma. All five games

/2:(5 *529( 1(:6 By ROSEMARY SCHMIDT The Sun Correspondent Have you ever had a grease spot on a blouse or shirt that would not come out with any product that you bought in the store for that purpose? Material other than cotton can be difficult to remove spots from. But, some time ago I read about using talcum powder for that purpose. You sprinkle the spot with the powder and let sit for a few hours. Then shake it out. I like to use the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner and suck the powder out. It always works for me and I’ve been so grateful to learn this tip. This week I went out to the garden to see if I had any ripe tomatoes. There were a few, but my tomato eating is coming to an end as it does every fall. Those tomatoes that you buy in the grocery store are not so good, although I do like a few of those small tomatoes like cherry and grape tomatoes. At least they make a salad look good. As I was picking tomatoes would you believe it, on one of the tomato plants the leaves were almost stripped clean. Then I saw the tomato worm eating a small tomato. He was huge and about 4-inches long. I did not know they would eat tomatoes, because I thought they only ate leaves. There he was with his mouth right on the tomato and he was not going to let loose. I cut the branch off and (maybe you better not read the next part). I put him in a plastic bag‌. and stepped on him!!! My neighbors Suzy and Dennis Veenstra were telling me that they seen a HUGE spider in their garage. Tried to kill him, but did not succeed. Sure sounds like you better not come to this neighborhood‌we are rough and tough!!! This nice cool fall weather is sure to my liking, even though I know

winter IS coming. The winds have made ‘stick picking up’ a job that needed to be done. I keep telling myself that it is good therapy and exercise. Kalvin mowed the yard and hopes that it will be the last time. Trimming around things again was needed so I did the weed eating. The weed growing is slowing down and can’t say I’m sorry about that. Went to get my flu shot and then about 2 hours later I felt ‘yucky’ so I took my temperature. It was OK but soon all my bones started hurting. They say that the shot does not give you the flu, but you sure could fool me, because I felt like that was exactly what I had. So I just laid around and read a book. I did not take any aspirin or anything else, as I wanted to see just how I was being affected. I went to bed and finally got to sleep, but when I woke up during the night I was still aching. Thank goodness, when I awoke in the morning I was feeling better. I am allergic to mercury and some of the shots have that in them, so I think they mistakenly gave me the one with mercury. Wednesday I took a few antique items to the R Ranch Antique store in New Sharon to sell. While there I looked around at all the antiques. They have many different things to see. If you need anything, I recommend that you peruse their inventory. They have unique ways of displaying the inventory. While in New Sharon, I called Jimolene Walston and asked if she would like some company. Of course she said yes and I told her, see you in an hour. When I arrived she was happy to welcome me and you should have seen the coffee time that she put out, lunchmeat, crackers, cheese, cookies, ice cream and coffee. I protested about such a big bunch of food, but she said that I wouldn’t have to fix supper this eve-

ning. We enjoyed visiting about family and the latest news. Our garage sale went well last week, but we had items left, so decided to open again this week. We are ‘gluttons for punishment’. You would think that once would be enough. We have a fun time together, Charlene, Geneva and I. We were all neighbors when they lived in Lower Grove, so we have a lot to talk about. And then there is the eating! We bring food and usually Geneva makes pot of soup and we take turns in the kitchen devouring the goodies. You know that having a garage sale makes you hungry! HOW TO WASH A CAT Written by a Dog! 1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl. 2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom. 3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lid. You may need to stand on the lid. 4. At this point the cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this! 5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a ‘power-wash’ and ‘rinse’. 6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door. 7. Stand well back, behind the toilet as far you can and quickly lift the lid. 8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off. 9. Both toilet and the cat will be sparkling clean. SINCERELY, THE DOG

TALES OF THE ANCIENT SPORTSMAN By BURDELL HENSLEY Ancient Sportsman

It can’t be “Indian Summer� because we have not had a hard freeze, but whatever it is, I like it. This has been a gorgeous weekend and I was so busy that I didn’t get to properly enjoy it. I wanted to get to the golf course Saturday, but I choose to watch the Hawkeyes and the Cyclones instead and that only added to my anxiety. At least the Hawkeyes won, but it wasn’t easy. Last year everything went so smoothly for them, but this year it is like a square peg in a round hole. To me, the problem is easy to recognize and hard to fix. It starts with the line play on both sides of the ball. The offensive line has not come together and they are not moving people. The defensive line gives up too many easy yards and the pass rush is very poor. If they can fix those two areas, I think we will see marked improvement. If not we might be looking at a .500 season and no bowl game. I am not a cyclone fan, but I am still interested in what they are doing. The thing that amazes me is the number of points they are putting on the board. They have been able to build a lead against some pretty good teams, but they just can’t seem to protect the lead. The whole Big 12 appears to be a wide open offensive league this year while the Big 10 appears to be a bruising defensive league. Saturday night I was able to enjoy a 40-year class reunion with the Eddyville Class of 76. I sure didn’t recognize many of those old folks. They recognized me, so I must not have gotten older. I’m not sure what happened to those kids, but they have caught up with me. I was thrilled by the story one of the girls told me about her brother who was also a student of mine. I has his Doctor’s degree and he is the pastor of a large Black Church in Dallas. That is incredible for a white kid from Chillicothe, IA to be in that

position. She reports that her brother is seeing amazing things happening in that church. Friday night I covered the Pella Christian-Pleasantville game. Both teams were unbeaten and the game was billed as a district championship game. I was expecting a hard fought close game, but it wasn’t. The Eagles put 21 points on the board in the first quarter and then added 35 more in the second period for a 56-6 halftime lead. PC called in the hounds at halftime and the Trojans were able to score twice in the second half to make the final score 56-20. The Eagles dominated in all phases of the game and they were particularly lethal in the passing game. David Kacmaryinski was 15-of-17 for 292 yards and four touchdowns in only one half of play. Sigourney/Keota still has a playoff shot, but they will have to beat Wilton to nab the runner-up spot behind Regina. Oskaloosa is in the same boat as they must beat Washington to get the runner-up spot behind Solon. Twin Cedars and HLV will both get in, but the Sabers will have to beat HLV in the final game to win the district title. Sunday afternoon the Ancient-ess and I attended the Freeman’s Southern Gospel concert at Pella Christian. Tom and Cindy Drost allow us to set up a table to promote our tours at these concert and we are most grateful. It was a good day as we were able to visit with many people and the concert was good. Tuesday night I covered the PellaOskaloosa volleyball match in Oskaloosa and Pella wrapped up the Little Hawkeye Conference title with a three set win. Pella is ranked No. 1 in Class 4A and I think they have a shot to do big things in the tournament. For me the baseball season is over with the Cardinal demise. Folks ask me who I am rooting for now and I just tell them that is whoever is playing the Cubs. From what I can see right now, I would say that the Blue Jays look very tough. The harvest continues under near ideal conditions. It looks like some great numbers pouring through those combines and the mountains of gold will continue to grow. Thank goodness the political cam-

By JACKIE PERKINS Off the Vine

What a beautiful time of the year! Our part of the country is certainly looking different with the harvest opening up the landscape and we can see far away again. We in the Harrison Street Neighborhood had a surprise visit twice in the past week or so. Upon hearing the loud sound of a helicopter, we looked up to see it hovering above and then it landed across the street on the school ball field. Unfortunately that was a sign that someone was in need of some quick medical attention and we hope that the patient is doing well. When cleaning out a corner of the shed a while back, Greg found a few boxes filled with wooden birdhouses that I had accumulated and asked, “Just what are you going to do with all these birdhouses?� Just getting rid of things is difficult for me and I told him I would work on it. So I came up with a plan. Many of you have heard of the new craze of Wine and Canvas where a group will get together and create a work of art while enjoying a glass of wine. I have thought that would be something that I would enjoy but have never taken the steps to do that. So on Friday afternoon I invited a few neighbors over and we created our own version and it turned out to be “Cider and Birdhouses.� Dixie, Wanda, Virginia and I sat under the shade tree in the back yard, painted and drank cider! Everyone seemed to be pleased with the creations they took home, but unfortunately they also took home some nasty bug bites! What are those awful tiny black bugs? We spent the past two Saturday evenings at the Opera House in What Cheer. It is a wonderful thing that community has done to keep this historical building open and used. It is also wonderful that groups travel there to perform, and I just wish more would take advantage of what is offered. Last week we enjoyed the Civil War Band, which was very entertaining and offered a lot of history of the music of that era. This week we saw the Bluegrass Blondies and another group from the Albia area. This group (sorry I can’t recall the name) also included local Charlie Sigafoose of Hayesville. We especially enjoyed Charlie’s eight-year-old granddaughter as she stepped up to the microphone

and sang without a hitch! The Blondies are a fun family group and I was amazed at what they could do even at the age of fourteen! It is also fun just to see who you might run into there. Greg had a little guessing game to figure out he was talking to his teacher from high school, Roger Westercamp of Oskaloosa, and we were also surprised to see former Fremonter, Richard Hoyt and his wife there. Larry and Dixe Maudlin were with us and they got to visit with Larry’s brother and a couple of his cousins! I think there are a few more performances before the Opera House closes for the winter so you still have a chance to see what they have to offer. Wednesday took us on a road trip to Cantril where we were greeted by something new on Main Street there. A deep, chiming sound drew our attention to a huge set of wind chimes on the Dutchmen’s Store. What a cool thing! A sidewalk sale was going on, the place was packed, and we joined in the masses. We didn’t run into anyone we knew there this time but there was plenty to keep you interested. While waiting in the check out line, I did visit with a couple fellas who were enjoying their ice cream cones. One of them told me to avoid “brain freeze� while eating ice cream, you should sprinkle it with pepper and it just won’t happen. I asked how that would taste, and he said “it didn’t.� I think I’ll take his word for that and you can try it if you like.

Our sewing group has accomplished its first project and Becky Sterling is delivering over a dozen lap quilts to the Acute Rehabilitation Unit at the hospital in Ottumwa, where she works as a nurse. Yea! We are ready to move on to the next project in a patriotic theme for Veterans in our area. This group has enjoyed this old fashioned craft along with good fellowship. If you would like to join in, give us a call. The weather is putting me in the mood to start baking some of those treats of the season, starting with neighbor Wanda Bouma’s recipe for Oatmeal Cake. By the way, Wanda and John Bouma became new grandparents again last week with the birth of Bodie John. Bodie is the son of Brooke and Eric Kohosdors of Des Moines. He is welcomed by his nineyear old brother, Evan, and sister, Eliza, age four. Oatmeal Cake Mix: 1cup quick oatmeal,1 stick butter,11/2 cup boiling water Add: 1cup sugar, 2 eggs,1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg,1cup brown sugar,11/3 cup flour,1tsp soda,1tsp cinnamon. Pour into 9x13 inch greased pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Topping: 6 Tbs. soft butter, Ÿ cup milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1cup chopped nuts,1cup coconut. Mix and spread on top of cake. Put under slow broiler until browned.

Getting Healthy

By SHERYL L. CARTER The Country Girl

Now that’s a title I can relate to— heartily. I enjoy getting healthy and trying to stay that way, although I know I still have a ways to go. I start this week’s column off with some sad news as I write this on Wednesday, Oct. 5: one of our good old neighbors passed away last Thursday. He had been suffering with poor health for some time. He and his wife were our neighbors across the street for many years and then they moved to an apartment nearby. Anyway, our friend had recently endured two major surgeries within a couple weeks of each other and his body finally just gave out. His wife is a plucky lady if there ever was one, but it will take time to adjust to a different way of life, especially when you have been married for many years. We were so glad they could come to our 50 th anniversary open house. Last Friday two of my friends and I drove down to Pella to tour the Historical Museum and Village. I have been there many times, one friend had been once, but the other one had never had the privilege, so it was fun to go through it all with her. We had a tour guide for the big Windmill, and boy, he knew his stuff. He gave so many more details than I had ever heard before. It was really fascinating. By the time we had done the Windmill, which, by the way, is the tallest working windmill in North America, it was lunch time, so we headed over to Smokey Row and enjoyed a nice hearty repast. After that was my first occupational therapy appointment over at the hospital, so the girls dropped me off and picked me up after. I met Miss Kelly, who was an instant like, and who zeroed in on these very sore, swollen finger knuckles. I can’t imagine how painful it must be if ALL of your fingers were filled with arthritis! Anyway, she took my history and soon, both hands were being lowered in a warm paraffin bath, covered with plastic wrap, and encased in cozy

mitts—so warm and soothing. Kelly gave me some exercises to do at home and said after we get the inflammation down, we can work on strengthening. So it was a good experience with hope for the future. Then my friends and I drove back to the Historical Village and toured it—the cabin, sod house, mill, bakery, big museum, the row houses all hooked together, the Scholte Church, Wyatt Earp’s house, the library—love that room—and the wooden shoe maker’s shop. We picked out some of our favorite places to live—mine was the large cabin—such a nice one, too, complete with a loom in the corner. Wyatt Earp’s house was very nice and had a nice upstairs with lots of windows and plenty of room. On Saturday, I did some laundry and switched out my seasonal clothes and shoes. That’s usually quite a task, but it went very well this time. I also wound up with a bag of clothes for the Thrift. On Sunday, after Cinnamon French Toast and good coffee, I went to Sunday School and church, and in the afternoon we attended the visitation for our good friend and neighbor. That evening our daughter in California called for a nice visit. Monday was more laundry and doing up some errands. Our friend, the bee man, where we get our delicious honey, has been under the weather, so I packed up a little basket of goodies for him. You know, when you are down and out, you just don’t feel like fixing food very much. That night I tried Susan’s recipe for chicken breasts with mayo and parmesan cheese baked in the oven. Man, were they ever good! Loren peeled some sweet potatoes, so they were laid in the same pan and it all turned out just yummy. We also put together a cabbage salad, so we had a feast. Yesterday, I went into Newton for a few things and this morning was WCF out at church. So maybe I should say something about getting healthy now, you think? We have had a big juicer for a number of years, but like I wrote recently, are

setting it aside in favor of a juicer that will incorporate the whole vegetable/ fruit. My friend lent us her Nutri Bullet, so I gave that a whirl and loved it. However, I thought a more powerful one was in order, as this one didn’t do frozen bananas very well. I found a 900-watt Nutri Bullet at Costco in Des Moines for only— gasp! $75! The 600-watt was selling for $79 locally, so yeah, I snapped that baby up and it has been doing good daily duty since I brought it home. I was thinking I might have a lymph problem going on, so had begun a body brushing routine again. But today my day was really made when I went for my first massage in two years! Wow, Miss Angela Beyer is a wonder. She really knows her stuff and getting a massage from her is a joy worth experiencing. She lives less than two blocks from us, so it was no problem to hop on over there. She confirmed that I probably have an edema (swelling) problem, but pretty sure there is a lymph problem as well. Massage should help this out. Angela is all into essential oils now, plus homeopathic things, and has been taking classes from a teacher in Idaho; a lady who has been in the business for many years and has written a number of books on the subject. So how did I feel during and after the massage? Oh, just super great. This girl has magic fingers. She isn’t very big, but she has strong, supple hands and really knows her business. Just a few swoops on my tight neck area and I thought, hey, if this was all we did, it would be good. If anyone is interested in a fantastic massage—in a warm and comfy room—check out Angela at 480600-5003. If she doesn’t answer right away, just leave a message and she will get back to you. I am going again next week. Yes. I am hoping the massage will help my body get rid of toxins and the excess lymph stuff. Shoot, I feel better already! Even these sore fingers—because here I am typing away! Until next time, stay well!

They’re your dreams. Start building them.

Iowa’s archery deer hunting season opens DES MOINES – The days are getting shorter, nights are getting cooler and tree stands are being moved into place. For bow hunters, the long wait is over. Iowa’s archery deer season began Oct. 1. “Hunters should have another great year,� said Andrew Norton, state deer biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. “Our deer population is relatively stable, keeping things consistent. It should be a pretty good fall.� Iowa’s world-renowned deer herd is the result of a beneficial partnership between hunters, landowners and local wildlife staff all working together. “Our hunters play an important role in helping us to maintain their high quality deer herd,� Norton said. An estimated 62,000 bow hunters will purchase more than 90,000 deer licenses this year. On average, bow hunters take 12 trips to the timber and spend more than three hours out each time before the season sus-

pends on Dec. 2 to make way for the shotgun hunters. “They’re a pretty dedicated group. Having 62,000 pairs of eyes in the field really helps us to identify any local issues, like discovering a local case of hemorrhagic disease, and by hunters providing tissue samples that we can test for chronic wasting disease. We encourage them to talk to their landowners about the status with their local herd and adjust their doe harvest accordingly,� he said. Iowa is unique versus other premier deer hunting states because there is a restriction on the use of firearms during the rut that reduces pressure on the bucks, allows bucks to grow older, which is an important factor for antler growth. Iowa also has mild winters compared to northern states, and excellent soil quality that provides natural vegetation, which also allows deer to grow quickly.

Early in the season, deer will likely be in their summer pattern. Hunters putting in the work studying the changing patterns should improve their odds for success. Deer population varies across the state but high quality animals are available in every county. Population is lower in northwest Iowa and increases along the Mississippi River and across southern Iowa. The highest antlered deer harvest comes from Clayton, Allamakee, Van Buren and Warren counties. For bow hunters, Iowa is the place where dreams are made. Bow hunters harvested nearly 13,000 antlered deer last year. The archery season will close on Dec. 2 for the shotgun seasons, then reopens on Dec. 19 until closing on Jan. 10, 2017. The Iowa DNR has information on the number of antlerless deer licenses available, locations of hunter

education classes, and maps of available public and private hunting land, a list of lockers participating in Help Us Stop Hunger, and more at www. iowadnr.gov/deer Hunters must report their harvest All deer taken must be reported using the harvest reporting system by midnight the day after the deer is recovered. Accurately reporting the kill is an important part of Iowa’s deer management program and plays a vital role in managing deer populations and future hunting opportunities. Hunters can report their deer on the DNR website www.iowadnr. gov, by calling the toll free reporting number 1-800-771-4692, or at any license vendor. For hunters with Internet access, the online reporting of your harvest is the easiest way to register your deer. If no deer is harvested, no report is necessary.

NEW SHARON – When North Mahaska and Montezuma meet the game is always an emotional one. Friday’s battle on North Mahaska’s senior night was no different. Montezuma won the annual US 63 battle, 41-0. North Mahaska learned this week they had lost the services of their leading receiver, senior Brandt Fleener, for the season due to a

hand injury. On the second play of the game the Warhawks lost junior starting quarterback Ben Sherburne when he was sacked. It was the start of a long night for the Warhawks. Montezuma amassed three touchdowns and led 20-0 after one period. North Mahaska regained their footing and limited the Braves to just a single score in the second period. Senior defensive lineman Reece Strasser stepped in as quarterback and seniors Milan DeJong and

WPU to Induct Athletic Hall of Fame Recipients DW +RPHFRPLQJ OSKALOOSA – William Penn University will induct four new members into its Athletic Hall of Fame at this year’s Homecoming celebration, Oct. 13–16. During halftime of Saturday’s football game on Oct. 15 against Peru State, the four former Statesmen athletes will be recognized for their athletic accomplishments. Dale Harter was the definition of an outstanding athlete. That’s what classmates from his era have described the three-sport standout who graduated from William Penn in 1962. He was the first athlete from Indiana that coach Earl Craven recruited, which led to a flood of great student-athletes from the Hoosier state. Ashley Larry was an offensive juggernaut and a softball player that could change the landscape of a contest with one swing of the bat. From 2005–2008, Larry was a team leader and the player with speed that set the table for an offensive explosion. She was a three-time all-Midwest Collegiate Conference and NFCA all-region honoree, helping her team amass an impressive 164–83 overall record and 74–26 conference mark.

Christa Subbert competed from 2008 through 2011 and made a permanent mark on the history of the program. Subbert was a threetime NAIA All-American and allMidwest Collegiate Conference (MCC) honoree, making an impact on the program from day one. She ended her career as the all-time leading scorer in the program’s history with 2,155 points, scoring an incredible 684 points in her senior year (20.7 points per game). Jake Spielbauer was a programchanging force for the William Penn Men’s Basketball team. Competing for the Statesmen from 2003–2007, Spielbauer did it all on the court. He was tough, yet agile, smart but aggressive, and was an academic standout as well. To read more about these exciting for mer Statesmen athl e t e s , v i s i t w w w.w m p e n n . edu / Homecom i ng / a nd click on the name of each recipient. William Penn University staff, faculty and students would like to congratulate Dale, Ashley, Christa, and Jake for being inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame at this year’s Homecoming events.

Griffen Molenburg each created turnovers. Junior Dakota Readshaw also stepped into the act. Strasser had no success running the ball, but connected with fellow senior Cole Rozendaal for a short pass. Strasser was on the receiving end of a 10-yard pass from fellow senior Molenburg. Montezuma led 20-0 and was driving for another TD when DeJong ripped the ball from the hands of

Carson Losure inside the North Mahaska 10-yard line. The Warhawks could not muster any offense and a short punt allowed Monte to take the ball in four plays. Molenburg ended another Monte drive just before halftime with on interception. “I am so proud of our seniors,� said North Mahaska Coach Cass Stubbs. “They stepped up and took control of their situation.�

North Mahaska could not move the ball against the Braves. Although penalties did not affect the outcome, it did, at times, force the Warhawks to play behind the chains. NM had been accumulating large yardage in penalties in recent games. Friday they were flagged three times for 25 yards. North Mahaska (2-5, 1-3) was limited to negative yards rushing and 19 yards passing. Montezuma (5-2, 4-1) passed for

130 and rushed for 218. North Mahaska will be on the road the final two weeks of the season traveling to Winfield-Mount Union Oct. 14, then closing at Cardinal of Eldon on Oct. 21. Former NM assistant Nick Ehret now heads the Cardinal squad so creates a fun night for Warhawk fans. Score by quarter Monte 20 6 15 0 – 41 NM 0000–0

10 6RDUV 2YHU .HRWD 3&0 6SRLOV (%) NEW SHARON — North Mahaska’s volleyball team shook off the effects of the past couple matches and executed when necessary to upend visiting Keota in straight sets, 25-11, 25-8, 25-7. North Mahaska senior Jensen Kelderman’s serving once again provided a punch for the Warhawks. Down by three before their first service, Kelderman led them back to 4-4. Keota, 1-9 on the season, regained the lead, but NM bounced back. Junior Hayley Pinkerton stepped up to serve out the set with the Warhawks scoring 13 consecutive points. North Mahaska, 13-11, jumped on top 5-2, then scored the next six points eventually building to a 22-7 advantage. The Warhawks raced out to an 8-0 lead in the final set and

(%) 7RSV .QR[YLOOH 1HWWHUV KNOXVILLE — Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont’s volleyball team did what they need to do to secure another South Central Conference volleyball crown. They topped Knoxville 25-20, 25-20, and 25-20. However, for a share of the title Clarke needed to upend Centerville. That didn’t happen. “It was an inconsistent night for the Rockets, but we pulled out the conference win,� said EBF head coach Gladys Genskow. “As this last part of our season is underway, we will be working on improvements for this team to become successful for the postseason run we are looking forward to.� Torie Alexander’s 16 kills led the offensive side of the EBF winning equation. On the defensive side, Haegen Boyer had a big night for EBF with 12 digs and Briana Ver Steegh recorded three blocks. Taryn Swartz led the Rockets with four ace serves. Davis County (15-14, 3-1) and EBF (20-9, 4-1) will meet Tuesday in Eddyville for second place in the conference.

Homecoming EDDYVILLE — Most teams select a homecoming team that is considered at least a 50-50 chance of winning. The Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Rockets opted for the district leader, PCM. The district leaders rolled to a 49-0 victory. It took the Mustangs just half a minute to find the end zone at Ike Ryan Field when senior quarterback Sheldon Speers hit sophomore Preston Van Wyk on a 48-yard touchdown pass. Sophomore running back Wes Cummings, who had a 10-yard scamper on the first series for PCM, broke loose for 38 yards on their next possession for another score. It looked like the game was going to be over in the first quarter. EBF had another short series to give PCM another opportunity deep in Rocket territory. EBF’s Ryan Richmond said no, and made a jump to snag down Speers’ pass to end the drive. Just as Richmond stopped a drive, a tipped pass gave senior lineman Levi Telfer a chance to pick off the pass and plow into the end zone putting PCM up 21-0. A Cummings run capped a 28-0 first period and the die was cast. The Rocket defense stepped up to the task and battled even with the Mustangs, but neither found the end

zone until Speers connected with senior Luke Greiner for a 65-yard strike and a 35-0 halftime lead. The second half began with a flourish for the Rockets. Dakota Boyer raced into Mustang territory on the opening kickoff and was tackled at the PCM 19-yard line. It looked like the Rockets were in business. However, the Rockets managed just four yards to reach the 15. EBF gave the ball over on downs. The clock was on continuous with the 35-point margin in the second half. Just when it looked like it could become no worse for the Rockets, EBF defender Gaige Berryman was hit with his second unsportsmanlike conduct penalty of the game, which resulted in his disqualification. The worst part is he will be out of next week’s contest at Clarke. Speers found Greiner for a 28yard touchdown pass with 5:42 left in the third quarter. On the first play of the fourth quarter, the Mustangs scored again as Speers connected with VanWyk for a 31-yard touchdown pass. Each team had just one turnover with an interception. PCM accumulated 460 total yards with 222 on the ground and 238 through the air.
