Auditor, supervisor candidates offer insights about their platforms at forum By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Two candidates for Calhoun County Auditor and three candidates vying to be the next Calhoun County Supervisor answered audience questions at a forum in Rockwell City Thursday evening. Sponsored by the American Association of University Women group, the forum attracted about 50 attendees. Dick Finley, an independent, David Hiler, a Democrat, and Carl Legore, a Republican, are running to replacing retiring District 3 Supervisor Gary Nicholson. “I feel I have a moral obligation and duty to give back to this county,” Legore said, explaining his decision to seek elected office. Legore returned to Rockwell City, where he grew up, in 2015. A graduate of Iowa State University, Legore retired from the military after 29 years of service, much of which was spent as a broadcast journalist. That experience, combined with 10 years as a senior enlisted advisor hearing concerns of military service members and finding ways to address those problems, uniquely qualifies him to work as a supervisor, he said. “It gives me experience of how to talk to people,” Legore said. “More importantly, it taught me how to listen to people.” Finley, who has lived in Rockwell City for more than 40 years and who grew up in Calhoun County, highlighted his experiences working for the federal government with the U.S.

Department of Agriculture and his long career as a soil scientist and conservationist. He explained his familiarity with drainage districts, which make up a large portion of the work the supervisors do. Hiler, also a native of Rockwell City, said he is a quick study and would be able to easily learn the duties of a supervisor that he doesn’t already know. A farmer and the father of three young daughters, Hiler said he brings a younger perspective to the table, and said he thinks he could be a good liaison between farmers and city residents in the county. “I care about Calhoun County,” he said. “I care about young people moving back. There’s a lot that I can give to this county.” All three candidates said they support the Calhoun County Expo and all were interested in finding ways to increase mental health services within the county. They were less familiar with the county’s recent decision to join the National Flood Insurance Program. All three said they wanted to see the county continue to direct significant efforts to fight the Des Moines Water Works lawsuit. Finley said he wanted to see more data that pinpoints the source of the nitrates the water works’ attorneys and experts claim comes from drainage districts. Not all land in the county is in a drainage district, he said, and some farms immediately adjacent to creeks and ditches may be draining into the watershed but not be part of an official distric.

Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Davis said last week he has warned activists interested in protesting the Dakota Access pipeline construction sites here that they won’t get any warnings if they come back and start trespassing again. Davis and a handful of Iowa State Patrol troopers last week followed protesters to a number of sites around Calhoun County. At those protests, Davis warned the protesters that if they came back to Calhoun County again, he would follow a different tactic. Next time, Davis said, Dakota Access’ security will have “no trespassing” signs posted on all sites; if security officials see protesters leaving the public easements – the road and shoulder – then security crews can film or photograph the protesters and get the license plate numbers of protesters’ vehicles. “I will just issue warrants for their arrest,” Davis said during the Oct. 18 Board of Supervisors meeting. He doesn’t have a problem with legal protests, he added. And he doesn’t want to have to arrest protesters. “If they were protesting legally, we wouldn’t have to worry about it,” he said. “But they don’t. They trespass.”

SCC receives $1,000 check as Case reaches top 15 of national football coach poll By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor

South Central Calhoun football Coach Bryan Case told high schoolers Friday he was humbled by the community support that propelled him in to the top 15 high school football coaches in a contest last week. “You guys are the ones that went out there and voted,” Case said during a ceremony at the high school. “Any time you were voting for me, you were voting for the school.” U.S. Cellular sponsored The Most Valuable Coach contest. Company representatives visited the school with a $1,000 check for the school and stadium seat cushions and other goodies for students and staff. More than 2,000 people voted for Case who finished in 12th place. Case said he didn’t do anything out of the ordinary to earn the honor. “I’m me,” he said. “I don’t do anything special.” According to U.S. Cellular, the person who nominated Case noted how the coach helped Southern Cal and Rockwell City/Lytton students form a united front during the school merger. “Coach Bryan Case has been instrumental creating a joint community culture after our school merger,” the nomination form said. “He really brought not just the team, but

the communities together as a new Titan Nation. Bryan deserves to be honored because he has not only given many years to our school district but he has shared his compassion and leadership to all of the young men that he has had the opportunity to grow.” SCC Athletic Director Mark Schaefer told the students how much the district appreciates Case. “We just love having him,” Schaefer said. “I really feel honored that we have him at our school.” Schaefer said many community members may not realize the work Case puts in with students yearround. Case’s football teams may be successful, but that isn’t the coach’s ultimate goal, Schaefer said. “I know him well enough, if he had the opportunity to choose between winning and the influence he has on kids’ lives, he would pick influencing kids’ lives,” Schaefer said. Community members can now vote on the top 15 coaches; the two that receive the most votes by Nov. 18 will be honored at a ceremony during a high school all-star game New Year’s Day in Florida, and will each receive $5,000 for their school. Community members can cast their ballots at themostvaluabecoach.com and may vote once per day. As of this weekend, Case had risen to seventh place, receiving 4.6 percent of the vote.

A creek is seen running through University 40 park Oct. 16. GRAPHIC-ADVOCATE PHOTO/ERIN SOMMERS

Conservation board outlines University 40 plan By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor The Calhoun County Conservation Board has big plans for University 40 Park. The park is located just south of Lohrville. Calhoun County purchased the land from the University of Iowa in 1960. “We feel there’s a lot more opportunity for our county to highlight the county,” Conservation Board member Joe Berger told the Board of Supervisors Oct. 18. “It’s a beautiful place.” Located on Cedar Creek, the park now has one cabin and room for tent cabins. No hunting is allowed within University 40, though it is permitted at Union Wildlife Area, a 115-acre area that has native grasses and is home to pheasants, deer and turkeys. The board has already hired an architect to design improvements to the park, Calhoun County Conservation Director Keith Roos said. So far, that architect has met with area residents and park users to determine some of the needs at the park. Roos said the proposal, which may cost about $250,000, is planned to be implemented over then next 10 to 20

years. The first step, Conservation Board President Jerry Chizek said, is replacing the park’s existing well. The board would also like to construct new restrooms on the east and west sides of the park, then update the signs bringing visitors to the park, and signs within the park to explain the history and significance of the area. Replacing the main shelter’s safety railing, which Chizek noted is currently made of livestock fencing, is also high on the list. “It’s an opportunity for us to take another part of our park system and make it something we can be proud of,” Chizek said. Higher concept improvements include creating a creek walk with stone steps leading into Cedar Creek, which runs through the park. Board members and the architect agreed that such a project might give the biggest bang for the buck. “It’s just a magnet,” Berger said. “To expose the creek some, I think it’s a positive thing.” Eventually, the board would like to install 10 concrete pads, and the accompanying electrical outlets, for recreational vehicles. They suggested moving the existing cabin to the park’s west side, adding two more cabins and designating a tent camp-

ing area as well. To accommodate the camping, as well as the service clubs that serve pancake breakfasts in the shelter on Sundays in the summer, the board is planning an update of the electrical services within the park. Long-term, Chizek said, the board would like to see a bike trail built from Lohrville to University 40 Park, with some kind of safe crossing designated on Highway 175. A number of nearby landowners and small business owners have already offered volunteer labor and services to bring down the cost of the improvements. The board asked the supervisors to provide about $50,000 annually for several years to cover the costs of the updates. Roos questioned the board about $300,000 that should be in the county’s conservation trust fund, noting that some of the budget paperwork he had didn’t show that money being available. Auditor Judy Howrey was not at the Oct. 18 meeting; on Friday, Howrey told The Graphic-Advocate the money remained available, and the smaller amount Roos and the conservation board referenced having at their disposal was just the amount they had asked to spend this year.

Lake City Council reviews pool numbers By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor With pool season over, the Lake City Council took a look at the endof-year report at their Oct. 17 meeting. Councilman Michael Schleisman expressed concern about the number of pool users most days.

“How come we don’t get more attendance,” Schleisman asked. “We don’t have one day where there were 200 people. Have we upset people?” Attendance reached about 180 people several days. Council members also looked at pool costs and revenues. The pool lost about $20,000 this year. “That’s really not that bad,” Councilwoman Tami Green said, adding she can remember years in which the

losses topped $30,000. Schleisman asked the city to consider a sidewalk on the south side of the pool complex, to give people who use street parking a way to reach the entrance without walking through the grassy area between the pool and the street. Not all pool users are parking in the parking lot to the west of the pool, Schleisman said. The council also accepted low bids for demolition of two properties.

B Aw are off Be What Your Kids are Doing Online Talk with your kids about cyberbullying and other online issues regularly. • Know the sites your kids visit and their online activities. Ask where they’re going, what they’re doing, and who they’re doing it with. • Tell your kids that as a responsible parent you may review their online communications if you think there is reason for concern. Installing parental control filtering software or monitoring programs are one option for monitoring your child’s online behavior, but do not rely solely on these tools. • Have a sense of what they do online and in texts. Learn about the sites they like. Try out the devices they use. • Ask for their passwords, but tell them you’ll only use them in case of emergency. • Ask to “friend” or “follow” your kids on social media sites or ask another trusted adult to do so. • Encourage your kids to tell you immediately if they, or someone they know, is being cyberbullied. Explain that you will not take away their computers or cell phones if they confide in you about a problem they are having. source: stopbullying.org

Middle school’s new reading intervention program already showing success, teacher says By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor

MIDAS wherever life takes you.

South Central Calhoun Middle School students are bucking a national trend. None of the students interviewed there last week reported seeing or being the victim of bullying recently. Nationally, 70 percent of students report witnessing bullying. “Our school is pretty good about that,” fourth-grader Adlen Wheelock said. Gabe King, a fifth-grade student, agreed. “I’ve heard some stuff about bullying,” King said, but added he had never seen any himself. South Central Calhoun School District officials frequently mention their anti-bullying efforts at the middle and high school level, and the two groups of students interviewed Thursday seemed to have taken the lessons to heart. They were able to articulate the difference between bullying and teasing. “Bullying is when someone is verbally or physically abusive,” Sophie McKinney, a sixth-grade student, said. “It can’t be just one time,” Wheelock added. Teasing, King said, should really be limited to friends. They were quick to recommend talking with teachers and administrators if they encountered a problem, and they recounted times using the advice from teachers to diffuse tense situations in class, such as during group projects when group members started to argue. “Our football team, we had a lot

of disagreements,” King said, but it didn’t devolve into bullying. “When you say (a criticism or disagreement), don’t be screaming,” Wheelock added. She was realistic about how often the anti-bullying advice is used, though. “Sometimes we use it. Other times we just yell at each other.” The younger students said they sometimes wondered if there wasn’t too much talk about bullying. “I think it’s exaggerated a little,” Emma Myers said, particularly the discussions about cyber-bullying. “I feel like cyber-bullying doesn’t happen as much as (in-person) bullying.” The school’s older students emphasized the success they have had with approaching adults when they experience problems with classmates. Seventh-grader Mike Smith said he did just that. “(The adults) talked to the person about what they were doing,” Smith said, adding that resolved the situation. Eighth-grader Kennadie Machovec recounted a similar story. Neither student characterized the situations as bullying, just conflicts. The school’s emphasis on bullying prevention is good, they said. “So people don’t do it,” Brodie Voith, a seventh-grade student, said. Eig ht h-g r a der Hailey Dav is agreed. “So it lowers the chance of people getting bullied,” she said. They also enjoy Titan Time, the anti-bullying program the school uses, which has introduced them to students in other grades they didn’t know.

In the past, struggling fourth- to sixth-grade readers at South Central Calhoun Middle School had a difficult time finding books at their comprehension level, reading interventionist Allison Kinney told the SCC school board Oct. 17. That has changed since the school adopted a new approach to literacy instruction and brought in a new curriculum for the school’s younger students who aren’t up to grade level in reading, she said. “It’s neat for them to get a new book every day” that is at their reading levels, Kinney said, adding the students show less frustration with reading now that they can access

so many books that they can read. “There are a ton of different genres that allow the students to (really engage with texts). … The students respond well to having different genres at their level.” The curriculum, Fountas and Pinnell Leveled Literacy Intervention, offers dozens of titles for students to choose, Kinney said. The books target phonics, fluency and vocabulary, helping students build their confidence as they are able to read more. Kinney’s work with the students starts with “word work,” which focuses on spelling, pronunciation of multisyllabic words and other wordoriented tasks. Students complete a short vocabulary lesson, then end with a comprehension-related task. “It’s intensive,” Kinney said. “They’re definitely getting skills and strategies to meet their needs.

It’s very focused.” The program is also fast-paced, with students picking up new titles daily. Kinney is working with 15 fourthgrade students, 12 fifth-grade students and 16 sixth-grade students, she said. Julia Jacobs, the high school technology teacher, updated the board about what new technology the district purchased this summer, and what the upcoming technology needs will be. SCC High School now has a 3-D printer in Jacobs’ classroom, and she has plans for students to begin using it later this year. Students in her graphics and multimedia class will use the printer, she said. She has the software to design items to be printed, and has sample printed items from Iowa Central

Community College. The elementary school added two Chromebook carts, and all classes in kindergarten through second grade now have short throw projectors. The middle school also added two Chromebook carts. Through donorschoose.org, t he m iddle school also received four additional Chromebooks. Superintendent Jeff Kruse told board members the district did not appear to lose any enrollment this year, based on unofficial enrollment numbers. The district had 920.85 students last fall and 920.10 students this fall. Kruse said he was working on dates with architecture firm FEH for the next step in drafting a plan for a facilities expansion. He hoped to have a date set for the two-day workshop by the end of the week.

Attorney: Board of Supervisors has power to stop pipeline construction By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor The attorney for nine Iowa landowners is pressing the Calhoun County Board of Supervisors to exercise its authority to stop construction of the Dakota Access pipeline. Bill Hannigan, who represents those landowners in an ongoing civil lawsuit, sent several letters to the Calhoun County Board of Supervisors this month asking the board to take action. After the Oct. 11 board meeting, when an ISG inspector told landowners and the supervisors he had no authority to stop construction, Hannigan reached out again.

Evan Del Val’s assertion that he can’t make Dakota Access crews stop is wrong, Hannigan said. And if Del Val doesn’t want to stop the pipeline company’s contractors from damaging farmland, the board does have the power to petition the Iowa Utilities Board, Hanigan said. The problem is, he added, that’s not a step the supervisors seem interested in taking. “This is another accommodation for Dakota Access, right?” Hanigan told The Graphic-Advocate during a phone interview Thursday. “The Board of Supervisors, they don’t need or want the extra responsibility. The county hires an inspector. The inspector has the authority to stop construction. His job is easier if he

finds a way to be satisfied (with how Dakota Access responds to concerns about violations during construction).” Since Del Val and ISG haven’t stopped construction on the property where crews have been working in muddy conditions and leaving large rocks and metal behind, Hannigan said the supervisors need to take action in a timely fashion. “(The board) has to do its job at the very next meeting,” Hannigan said, adding there’s the “easy way and the hard way” to ask a board to take action. He declined to say whether his clients would consider additional litigation if the board did not take action on the request.

Board Chairman Mike Cooper said he is encouraging ISG and its inspectors to be proactive in dealing with farmers’ complaints. “We’re continue to explore (the situation),” Cooper said Thursday. “We’re continuing to communicate with Mr. Hannigan.” Cooper said he’s also hoping for some of the situation to resolve itself with drier weather. “We’re hopeful the weather calms down and we get through this,” he said. The original civil lawsuit, which is filed in Polk County, alleges the IUB incorrectly granted Dakota Access eminent domain authority.

Empty Nest By Curt Swarm “Spider Catches Pig!� “Spider Catches Pig!� was the caption under the picture on the front page of the Mt. Pleasant News. Karl Schaefer (the pig) had proposed to Amy Johnson (the spider) in Mt. Pleasant Community Theater’s production of “Charlotte’s Web.� Both “Mt. Pleasant News� and “The Hawkeye� newspapers were there to record the event. The year was 2004. Karl likes to say they met in “Oklahoma,� fell in love in “The Music Man,� and he proposed to her in “Charlotte’s Web.� This is a true life, for real, community-theater love story, folks. You can’t write it any better than this. Karl is the manager of Becker’s Jewelry in Mt. Pleasant. Amy works for United Way of Johnson and Washington Counties. They live in Mt. Pleasant and have a six-year old son, Colin. Karl was a music and dance major in college. He is also a Massage Therapist and has taught ballet and acrobatics. Amy has a degree in theater from UNI. There is 11 years difference in their age, but you would never know it. They both act like two peas in a pod. Amy had just graduated from college and had returned to Mt. Pleasant before she pursued her career in acting. She thought she would get a couple of productions under her belt before she went off to Minneapolis or New York. She landed the leading lady part in “Oklahoma� for Mt. Pleasant Community Theater. Karl played a funny but major role, and was awfully friendly. Before Amy went on stage, they would sit at the back of the set and talk. The actors were having trouble lifting Amy in a dance routine. They were squishing her. Karl taught them how to raise her arms and lift. He thought, “Hmm, this is fun.� They didn’t see each other for two years. Amy was auditioning for the leading lady role in “Music Man� for Mt. Pleasant Community Theater.

She thought Karl would be the ideal leading male role, but she didn’t know where to find him. As luck or fate would have it, they ran into each other at the post office. She easily talked Karl into trying out. She said, “It would be great if you and I were the lead. We would have so much fun and have a lot of good chemistry together.� (She was thinking with her theater brain.) “We could jive this!� Karl swallowed his Adam’s Apple real hard. He auditioned and got the part. During productions of “Music Man� they would dance together off stage to intermission music. Though Amy and Karl didn’t know it, they were falling in love. But all of their friends and family knew it. All you had to do was see them together to know that their relationship was more than just “friends.� Karl’s buddies teased, “You need to ask her out.� “Yeah, fat chance of that,� Karl joked. “She would never go out with me.� But Amy got up her nerve, walked into the jewelry store and told Karl, “We need to talk.� Karl asked, “Have you been getting the same feedback about us that

I have?� Amy said, “Well, what would be wrong with that?� Karl fainted and had to be revived with smelling salts. During dress rehearsal for “Charlotte’s Web� something strange was happening. The cast was acting giddy. Amy’s mother and one of Karl’s best friends were there, which was unusual. During an intimate scene between Amy and Karl, Karl was all over the place. But he had a tendency to go off book, and Amy knew how to get him back on script. But before she could, Karl pulled off his costumed hoof, and presented her with a ring. Flash bulbs popped, the cast, crew, family and friends erupted in cheers and applause. Amy and Karl have been married 11 years now. Karl carved her halfcarat diamond wedding ring himself. They are active in community theater, and people still come up to them and ask, “Remember that night the spider caught the pig?� 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. Curt’s stories are also read at 106.3 FM in Farmington.

Protesters from page 1 One problem with the protests, he said, is that he doesn’t think protesters realize how much they disrupt law enforcement while they are trying to disrupt the construction. Chasing protesters from site to site keeps law enforcement officers from attending to other duties, Davis said. At least eight Calhoun County residents participated in the protests. Davis said the Calhoun County protesters stayed on the public road and did not trespass. Pipeline officials were not happy with how Davis handled last week’s

Davis said his deputies do routinely patrol past the construction sites at night, and the pipeline uses bright lights as a deterrent to vandals, too. Two people were arrested following the protests. Ed Fallon, a former state legislator and vocal pipeline opponent, entered a not guilty plea Oct. 19 to a trespassing charge. Cyndy Coppola has also asked for a jury trial.

NHS ceremony set for Nov. 8 The tapping ceremony for the South Central Calhoun High School National Honor Society will be Nov. 8 in the high school auditorium at the end of the school day. At this time new members will be tapped for membership. They will become official members at the induction ceremony held the following Tuesday in the high school auditorium at 7:30 p.m. The following is the process used to select new members. South Central Calhoun’s procedures comply with the constitution of the National Honor Society. A candidate must be a sophomore, junior, or senior and have at least a 3.0 grade-point average. The students who are eligible must submit a resume indicating their interest in

becoming a member. Teachers fill out a recommendation form rating each student, considering the four ideals of the society: scholarship, character, leadership, and service. These faculty recommendation forms are tallied giving each student an averaged rating. A faculty council made up of five teachers meets to decide the new members, carefully considering the results of the faculty recommendation averages. A person is ineligible to be on the faculty council if he/she has a child who is a candidate for membership. The advisor facilitates the process, but has no vote in the selection process.

Help with harvest

The Graphic-Advocate

Candidate from page 1 The donations from agriculture businesses and organizations is a good thing, Legore said. He criticized the water works for filing the lawsuit at all. “I feel the Des Moines Water Works lawsuit is an attack on our rural way of life,� Legore said. But, he added, “we as citizens of this county have a responsibility to make sure we’re not putting excessive (amounts of nutrients in the ground.� Hiler said he feels a strong responsibility, as a farmer and a parent, to protect the land and the water sources. Farmers are careful about using fertilizers, he said, and maybe they could become even more so, by using other chemicals to stabilize the anhydrous ammonia when it goes on the ground or taking other steps to use even less of certain kinds of inputs. “It’s going to be an inconvenience, but it’s something we can do,� Hiler said. “To have better water, I think it’s worth it.� Two women, both of whom now work for retiring Auditor Judy Howrey, talked about their passion for the work the office does and their interest in taking office. Republican Robin Batz has worked for Calhoun County 22 years, 11 years with the Secondary Roads Department and another 1 years in the Auditor’s Office. Her duties now include payroll and accounts payable. Prior to working for the county, she worked for a bank. With a new computer software program coming soon, Howrey’s retirement and a supervisor’s seat open, Batz said she isn’t looking to make major changes in the office

The community came together Oct. 18 to help Calhoun County farmer Les Schleisman with harvest following the death of Schleisman’s son-in-law Todd Irwin. Irwin, of Lidderdale, worked as Schleisman’s hired man. Those who helped with harvest included: John Grote, Chad Kanne, Neil and Deb Kanne, Willard Kemper, Craig and Shannon Knobbe, Russ and Kim Knobbe, Jeff Kock, Dan Otto, Marc Schumacher, Adam Schleisman, Alex Schleisman, Craig and Kathy Schleisman, Lyle Schleisman, and Justin Sievers.

right away, if she is elected. She is excited about some of the software changes, she said. “I love learning new things,� Batz said. “I feel like with the changes (coming to the auditor’s office), I’m a good person to transition in to that.� Running for office, going door to door and meeting with potential voters, “has been an incredible experience,� she said. She said she is interested in talking with the office staff, finding out where their interests and skills are and seeing if any duties should eventually be switched. Independent Karen Norine said she has been the bookkeeper for Norine TV in Rockwell City, her husband’s business, for more than three decades. She said she has worked closely with Howrey to learn the intricacies of municipal budgeting. She also has enjoyed learning about the election process. “Elections is one of my passions,� Norine said. “It’s so interesting. There are so many details. Most people don’t realize how much is involved.� Both auditor candidates assured forum attendees that the risk of election fraud is low in Calhoun County. They outlined security details for absentee ballots that are submitted prior to the Nov. 8 general election. Norine said auditor staff occasionally counts the ballots, making sure the number of sealed envelopes within the locked canister matches the number of ballots the election computer program said the county has received. Walk-in absentee voting continues for several more days.

The Bible tells us God wants a close connection with us. Go with God.

So talk and listen to God this week. Do that this week in church.

This week, begin your conversation with God in church.

Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness. Habakkuk 1:1-4, 2:1-4

LOHRVILLE My thought for the day is: Take the time and space you need - even if other people are wanting something from you. The Trivia question for the week is: Beginning in 1928, what newspaper was among the first in the nation to use airplanes for news gatherings? On Friday, Jill Luhman Brozek and a friend Barbara of Zion Illinois, were guests of Bette Knapp. They had attended the funeral of Jim Boner at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. Jill got to see several of her classmates there. She and Jim were in the same class at the Lohrville Consolidated School. Susan Clapper brought supper to Bette’s house and visited with Jill. Rose Heath also came to see Jill. On Wednesday, the Lohrville Fire Department held their open house. A nice crowd enjoyed hot dogs, chips, and bars/cookies. Several prizes were awarded. We are so lucky to have a well trained department available for us. Thank you firemen! On Tuesday, the VFW Ladies: Dor-

othy Siemann and Shirley Riedesel, had as their guests Rose Heath and Bette Knapp. They ate at the Wagon Wheel in Lake City. On Wednesday, funeral services were held for Josette Custer. She will be missed and our sympathies go out to her family and many friends. On a lighter note, Kathryn and Ron O’Conner of Prairie City visited her mother, Bette Knapp, on Saturday. They all attended Cassie Kavanaugh’s wedding to Dominique Winkfield at the Lohrville United Methodist Church. Congratulations Cassie and Dominique! Our birthday best wishes go out to: Terry Schamel on the 25th, Pam Haberl on the 27th, Jennifer Hood on the 28th, and Bob McCullough on the 30th. Hope you have a good one. The answer to the trivia question is: The Des Moines Register and Tribune. So until next week, have a good one.

SUNNY KNOLL We are getting ready for Halloween at Sunny Knoll. We would like to invite all the town trick-or-treaters to join us on beggars night. We will have lots of candy to hand out and look forward to seeing all the little ones in their costumes. We also took time to paint the pumpkins this week that Randy Hammen donated to us. We got our residents, staff and family painting pumpkins on Wednesday afternoon. Thursday, we picked who had the best pumpkin. Special congratulations to Zoann Ewing for winning! Although everyone did a great job! We also got into paint Thursday morning, but this time we painted with pencils! We used the eraser of the pencil dipped into paint and put dots all over a black piece of paper. Before we had started I had taped white paper bats on each piece. Then once everyone had covered their pa-

per we let them dry a bit and took off the white bat to reveal our works of art. Everyone was quite skeptical of how they would turn out, but they looked amazing! We even had a few staff members jump in and give it a try. It was a fun and messy morning! Thursday afternoon the St. Paul Lutheran Ladies Sara circle joined for a birthday party. We had cupcakes and drinks. And Jean Peck told us a couple of stories and led us in a sing along. It was a fun afternoon spent with friends. Next week, our staff is going to be having a scare crow contest in the front yard. We have invited all of our staff to join us in making a scare crow to put out in the yard. We plan on letting the residents pick our winner. So if you drive by next Friday, you will see what everyone has come up with. Jennifer Roberts-Activity Director

We have been busy getting creative at Shady Oaks in preparation for Halloween! In anticipation of decorating for the Trick-or-Treaters, residents assisted in drawing faces on large round pumpkins. Once the faces were finished, they added lots of color with acrylic paints. The personalities of the pumpkins really took shape as crooked teeth were filled in, warts were added to noses, earrings hung from ears,

Our friend Carol Cafferty passed away on Saturday, October 15, 2016. A resident of Sunnyview, she had recently moved to Shady Oaks Care Center in Lake City. Funeral services were held on Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Lake City. We were blessed to know her and she will be missed. Carol was a gem. Her smile lit up the room. She cared about us are we cared about her. We offer our sympathy to her family. Happy Halloween! When you walk down the hallways, you may appreciate that the suite doors look festive with fall decorations. We understand that beggar’s night is October 31. Do you have your costume ready? And the next day is All Saints Day. A new jig-saw puzzle is underway. This 1,000 piece 20 by 26 inch photo of a landscape looks like fun. The picture of those towering cliffs next to a watering hole brings a question to mind. How did those rugged treeless vertical cliffs form next to that flat area of water? The Lord works in mysterious ways. Have you heard about the “Lunch and Learn� meetings at the Rockwell City Public Library? A meeting was scheduled for Thursday October 20 at 11:45 a.m. to hear Darcy Maulsby, author of Calhoun County and A Culinary History of Iowa: Sweet Corn, Pork Tenderloins, Maid-Rites and More. The plan was to bring your own sack lunch. Maybe there will be

more meetings. Appetizing aromas waft from the Sunnyview kitchen. Periodically the Sunnyview menu features a pork entrĂŠe, a beef entrĂŠe, or a chicken entrĂŠe. This brings to mind the following. If baby pigs are called piglets, why aren’t baby bulls called bullets and baby chickens called chicklets? Speaking of pigs, perhaps you have heard of the following: “Where does a pig park his car? In the porking lot.â€? Then there is: “Why do you not tell secrets to a pig? Because he is a squealer.â€? And finally: “Why do you not want to play basketball with a pig? Because he will hog the ball.â€? Since the daylight hours are decreasing, it must be coming up on the Daylight Savings Time change. It looks like we “fall backâ€? one hour on November 6. That is closely followed with Election Day on November 8. Then, could it be possible we will have a break from political ads for a while? That will be an adjustment. It seems that time has a funny way of getting away from us. There are certain times for certain activities. For instance, if it is mid-morning, then it must be time for coffee. If it is noon, then it must be time for lunch. And what time do you go to the dentist? (2:30) “Tooth-hurty.â€? Remember, our website is sunnyviewil.com and the coffee is always on.

CENTRAL SCHOOL REMEMBERS October 1971 45 Years Ago

About 300 Lake City Alumni have made reservations for the Alumni Dinner to be held October 9, and more are expected this week. Nearly every class is represented. The class of 1945 has registered the largest number to date. Lake City Celebrity: Mrs. Glenn Smith-Bain, a lifelong resident of Lake City will celebrate the 100th anniversary of her birthday on Monday, October 4th. Mrs. Bain was born in the family home on the land now owned by Alva Hicks in west Lake City. She is the daughter of Cyrus and Elsie Zane Smith; she is the granddaughter of Peter Smith, the second settler in the pre-Lake City era. Writer’s Note: Eb Comstock was the first. Core’s Sports Corner (by Bob Core): Neil Dial, a 1970 Lake City graduate, is currently on the football squad at the University of Northern Iowa at Cedar Falls. Dial was a four-sport letterman at Lake City as he usually started in football, basketball, track and baseball. The 1969 Census Calhoun county report issued this summer shows that

the value of farm land and buildings in the country was $202,968,716.00; and farmers had an investment of $19,046,010.00 in machinery and equipment. While there was no estimate of investment in livestock, farmers had 57,400 head of cattle and calves, 93,049 hogs, 9,293 sheep and 46,048 chickens on hand when the 1969 census was taken. Farm production expenses totaled $27,560,424.00. Record Corn Production: The nations’ 1971 crop is estimated at 5.4 billion bushels – 640 million bushels above the previous record in 1967. U.S. Corn acreage for 1971 was 64.1 million acres. Writer’s note: 2014 records 13.016 billion bushels @ 96 million acres. (https://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Corn_production_in_the_ United_States) Super Value: Beef roast .55c lb.; ground chuck .89c lb.; Beer .79c a six pack; apples 3 lbs. for .49c. Markets: Corn: $1.01; oats .65c; beans $2.86 Don Morrow, operator of Morrow Standard Service in Lake City, was among 12 Standard dealers honored at a special awards dinner held at the Pin Oaks in Carroll on Thursday night, Oct 14, as Top Winners,

receiving highest regional awards in the companies Midwest Regional Appearance and Cleanliness contest. Service Men: Sp. 5 Duane Sporleader, who has been in the armed forces and served as a crew chief on a helicopter the past 13 months in Viet Nam, arrived home October 17. He received an honorable discharge at Ft. Lewis, Washington. After spending a month’s leave with his parents Darrell Ausborn reported to Oakland California. From there he flew to Viet Nam for further duty with the armed forces. Debbie Deuel was crowned Homecoming Queen at the October 7th Lake City High School pep rally. She was attended by Janet Conrad, Kathy Hart, Nancy Walters and Sheila Bruggeman. Her “favorites” start with the Lake City Eagles then Mr. Lyons and Miss Sharp, and when “real courageous” Mr. Yunek.

October 1921 95 Years Ago

Prominent Citizen Dies: The community was greatly shocked Monday morning upon learning of the death of George E. Pearen, who for many years has been a prominent citizen

and business man in Lake City. Mr. Pearen was born May 27, 1859 at Stanly Mills, Ontario, Canada. He died suddenly at his place of business October 24, 1921 at about eleven o’clock a.m. While living in Glidden, Iowa he became a U.S. citizen. In 1881 he came to Lake City where on March 1st, 1889 partnered with C. E. Bain to establish the Pearen & Bain Department Store. The business was so successful that in 1898 the firm erected the brick block on the south side of the town square. Writer’s note: one building still exists, it is currently the Lake City Hardware Store. 1921 Home Town Patriotism: The body of Leslie Sifford, parents Mr. and Mrs. Fred Sifford, killed in action August of this year will arrive home the last of this month of October. October 19, 1921 Pomeroy - military services for Albert Albrecht, killed in Argonne, France (WWI) was held with thousands in attendance. The procession of cars following the hearse was reportedly over 2 miles in length. October 24th, 1921 Pomeroy – military services were held for Edward J. Voss, killed in Argonne Woods,

France (WWI). The funeral was held in the park with about 4,000 people in attendance. Nemesis: - not a goddess, but any wife who has discovered an incident in her husband’s life which he would just as soon have forgotten! When is Indian summer? Not the fine days of autumn that most of us have been taught. As shown to us by our Native Americans, Indian summer is a short season of pleasant weather, usually occurring about the middle of November. It is a time where the Indians would avail themselves of this delightful time for harvesting their corn, and the tradition is that they always had this second summer of nine days just before the winter set in. At this mid-November time, there is enough light and heat to prevent the sensation gloom or chill whilst the nights were expected to be a bit frosty. Markets: corn - .30c; old oats - .24c; eggs - .35c & hogs - $5.50$7.00 J. L. Bradley Meats: Sirloin - .25c; porter house - .25c; roast beef 1820c. Love and Marriage: An emanate French doctor declares that love is a disease of the emotions. Not being

cynics, we should describe marriage as a long and pleasant convalescence! Lake City Community Building in Vermont: Former resident H. A. Wood was visiting the small town of Bethel, Vt. on October 15 of this year when he saw and article in the Ford International Weekly written by R. P. Crawford. The article told of a small town in Iowa…that of Lake City and how they had built an $80,000.00 Community Building. Mr. Wood was pleased to see an article about his home town and wrote that Lake City is a place where, “the people have a way all their own in doing things”. Writer’s Note: this seems true even now in 2016; reader remember the times were hard and the money short in 1920! Lake City Motor Company, October, 1921: Ford Touring car with starter - $495.00; Runabout with starter - $465.00; Sedan with starter – $740.00; Ford trucks – $510.00. Orange Juice, a teaspoon at a time, stained free from all pulp, is the most delightful drink for very young children. The acids in the fruit play an important role in the destroying of germs which create gasses and cause auto intoxication.

St. Anthony recognized by Healthgrades as Five-Star Recipient for hip fracture care St. Anthony has been named a Five-Star Recipient for Hip Fracture Treatment by Healthgrades, an online resource for information about physicians and hospitals. St. Anthony is the only hospital in Iowa to

earn this distinction for six consecutive years (2012-2017). “St. Anthony proudly accepts the Healthgrades recognition signifying our team’s commitment to patient care and exceptional results,” said

Ed Smith, St. Anthony President and CEO. “Our team’s dedication to serving others extends beyond knowledgeable and skilled care, coupling quality and compassionate care for the best possible experience.” Every year, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance at nearly 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 34 of the most common inpatient procedures and conditions. The new report demonstrates how clinical

performance continues to differ dramatically between hospitals regionally and nationally. This variation in care has a significant impact on health outcomes. St. Anthony’s five-star rating indicates the hospital’s clinical outcomes are, statistically, significantly better than expected when treating the condition or performing the procedure being evaluated. Research shows, from 2013-2015, patients treated for hip fracture care in hospitals with

five-stars have on average a 44.2 percent lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the hospital than if they were treated by hospitals with one-star. “Hospitals that have achieved Healthgrades five-stars in hip fracture care have demonstrated a commitment to exceptional quality care for their patients,” said Evan Marks, chief strategy officer, Healthgrades. “In an environment where consumers have more choices about where

to receive their care, a hospital’s commitment to achieving a superior degree of quality for their patients is more important than ever.” For more i nfor mation about Healthgrades, to download a full copy of the Healthgrades 2017 Report to the Nation or to get information about hospital and physician quality, visit: www.Healthgrades. com/quality today www.healthgrades.com/quality.

This week in the middle school we are finishing volleyball, football, and cross country, and next week we start basketball. We can’t wait to start new sports, but we are excited to have a little break. Another break we had this week was on Monday – we didn’t have school due to teacherin service. When we came back we started a normal school week. In reading, we are studying for our test over most of what we have done this quarter (author’s purpose and characterization). In math, we are learning about negative decimals, fractions, and mixed numbers, and learning how to turn a fraction into a decimal. In advanced math, we are learning how to simplify algebra equations. In civics we are learning about the amendments of the United States constitution. In science, we took our test over Newton’s Laws of Motion and will be starting something new. Here is a quick school joke: Q: Why did the kid study on an airplane? A: Because he wanted a higher education.

For the term of this franchise, the Company is granted the right of eminent domain, the exercise of which is subject to City Council approval upon application by the Company. This franchise shall be effective for a twenty-five (25) year period from and after the effective date of this ordinance. Section 2. The rights and privileges hereby granted are subject to the restrictions and limitations of Chapter 364 of the Code of Iowa 2015, or as subsequently amended or changed. Section 3. Company shall have the right to excavate in any public street for the purpose of laying, relaying, repairing or extending gas pipes, mains, conduits, and other facilities provided that the same shall be so placed as not to unreasonably interfere with any above or belowground utility services or facilities which have been or may hereafter be located by or under authority of the City. Section 4. The Company shall, excluding facilities located in private easements (whether titled in Company exclusively or in Company and other entities), in accordance with Iowa law including Company’s tariff on file with and made effective by the Iowa Utilities Board as may subsequently be amended (“Tariff,”) at its cost and expense, locate and relocate its existing

facilities or equipment in, on, over or under any public street or alley in the City in such a manner as the City may reasonably require for the purposes of facilitating the construction reconstruction, maintenance or repair of the street or alley. Relocation expenses for other hard surfaces, including pedestrian and non-motorized vehicle pathways, will be paid by the City. If the City has a reasonable alternative route for the street, alley or public improvements or an alternative construction method, which would not cause the relocation of the Company installations, the City shall select said alternative route, or construction method. The City shall be responsible for surveying and staking the right-of-way for City projects that require the Company to relocate Company facilities. If requested the City shall provide, at no cost to the Company, copies of its relocation plan and profile and cross section drawings.

State offers new way to report, investigate food poisoning The Iowa Department of Public Health last week announced a joint initiative with the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals that should reduce the impact of reported foodborne illness in Iowa. “These departments have joined forces to establish a statewide one-call system Iowans can use to report illnesses associated with food poisoning,” said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “Once a call is made to the IowaSic hotline (1-844-469-2742), trained specialists will begin an investigation into the cause and source of the illness, which could greatly reduce the number of ill Iowans.” The 2013 Cyclospora outbreak, which was responsible for sickening at least 127 individuals in Iowa, Nebraska, and other Midwest states, is an example of how foodborne illness investigations are conducted. During the 2013 outbreak, epidemiologists and food safety specialists, working in collaboration with the State Hygienic Laboratory, were able to trace the cause of the Cyclospora outbreak to fresh produce grown and packaged in Mexico. The contaminated product had been distributed to a national restaurant chain where it eventually was consumed by patrons primarily in Iowa and Nebraska. “Iowa was the first state to positively identify the cause of the outbreak, which permitted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to trace it back to the source,” Quinlisk said. “Had the IowaSic hotline and supporting processes been in place in 2013, it’s possible the duration and impact of the outbreak could have been reduced.” The IowaSic hotline will be answered by IDPH specialists who will ask callers about the illness, symptoms, onset and duration, and also complete a history of all foods consumed for the past several days. Illnesses associated with foods purchased from or consumed at food establishments will be investigated by staff in DIA’s Food and Consumer Safety Bureau. Food poisoning happens after eating or drinking contaminated foods or beverages, and occur at any time throughout the food preparation process, including growing, distribution processes, storage, cooking, and service. Often, foodborne illness is the result of cross-contamination, poor hygiene, or improper heating and cooling of prepared foods. If you suspect food poisoning after consuming an item from a restaurant, grocery store, convenience store, market or public gathering, call IDPH’s IowaSic hotline at 1-844-469-2742.

FROM THE TITANS’ DESK Teacher Spotlight: Mr. Handlos By Lindsey Sweeney and Cody Schumacher If you ask the question, “who is a great teacher, has fun classes, and is a routine guy,” most of the students from SCC would answer with, “Mr. Handlos!” Mr. Handlos has been a teacher for the district for twelve years. It wasn’t always his occupation; however, for a vast majority of his adult life, he ran a farming operation. After making the late life decision to teach, Mr. Handlos said, “The reason I got into it is I was looking for something I could do and enjoy; I wanted to help

young people.” The best part of teaching, according to Mr. Handlos, is working with young people who bring excitement, while the negative aspect is the people who don’t appreciate the opportunities they have. Mr. Handlos’ favorite subject to teach is American History. He enjoys teaching what we have done as a nation, where it has taken us to, and the lessons we can learn. If he wasn’t a teacher, Handlos’ dream job would be to still do something to help other people. Mr. Handlos is not only an amazing teacher, but is also a great person who genuinely cares for his students and other people around him.

Teacher Spotlight: Mrs. Maske By Sydnie Schultz and Brendan Henkelman Señora Maske is a new teacher in our high school this year. She is the freshman-senior Spanish teacher. She has been teaching Spanish for eight years, and for seven of those years, she taught at East Sac County High School. Mrs. Maske graduated from Bel-

mond Klemme High School. She then went to college at Iowa Central and Buena Vista with a major in Spanish and Education. She enjoys being a teacher, because she can make a difference in students and work with many people. She enjoys teaching teenagers things they will not learn from other people. Mrs. Maske says, “ I do not just teach them Spanish, I teach them about life.”

Publications class offers new opportunities this year By Lindsey Sweeney When the yearbook class dissolved and the publications class was formed, there was a spur of interest in the new group. Publications started out a little rough, but students believe they have accomplished a lot, such as reinstating senior spotlights, writing newspaper articles, and designing yearbook layouts. Class members have plans to make the yearbook great, and improve their

By Keaton Hammen, Chase Mosbach, and Colten Mosbach “White rabbit,” was the first thing Mr. Lantz said when interviewed, his way of indicating the first day of the month. This type of comment is one of the fun-loving quirks students have come to expect from the ag teacher. Mr. Lantz has been teaching 36 years, starting at Lytton, going to Rockwell City, and finally moving

Mr. Lantz didn’t always want to be a teacher, but felt directed after there wasn’t a place left for him back on the farm. He decided to teach agriculture because of his background and for the opportunity to do something for the Lord. His favorite part of teaching is seeing his students become successful, as well as helping them get their Iowa degrees.

Rally for the Cure golf tournament raises breast cancer awareness The 14th Annual Rally for the Cure golf tournament was held at the Lake City Country Club June 17. The ambassadors for the event were Kerri Shipley and Pam Reece. The Rally for the Cure is a grassroots program that works to spread awareness about breast cancer in support of the Susan G Komen Foundation through volunteer organized golf, tennis, and social events. The Rally was created to empower people to take action in the fight against breast cancer by educating women about the disease and reminding them to get their annual screening to ensure early detection. This year there were 52 women who participated. The event begins with a balloon release to honor those who have survived breast cancer and those who have passed. Throughout the day the women are catered to by male and female volunteers as they make their way around the course, with different activities at each hole. The tournament concludes with prizes, drawings, silent auction, and a catered lunch specially prepared by the volunteers. All the women re-

ceived a door prize. First place went to Rachel Seil and Toni Rist, second place went to Kerri Shipley and Kathy Knauss, and third place went to Tasha Skei and Connie Hilts. Several local businesses and indi-

viduals made donations to the tournament this year. This year, the rally raised nearly $3,700. This money will be used to support life-saving cancer research, education, screening, and treatment programs.

Titans clinch playoff berth By Doug Dornath South Central Calhoun’s varsity football team is once again playoff bound after a big win against rival East Sac County Friday, Oct. 21, in Wall Lake. The Titans, 6-1 in Class 2A, District 7 play and 7-2 overall, secured a second place finish in the district following its 49-6 victory over the Raiders.

BH/RV finished 8-1 overall and won its district, Class 2A District 1, with a 7-0 record. “I couldn’t be more proud of our kids,� said SCC head coach Bryan Case following the win over ESC. “Our backs have been against the wall the last three weeks, and our kids have responded each and every time. The victory tonight wrapped up a spot in the 2016 playoffs. This is the first time in South Central Calhoun’s seven years of existence that our senior class has qualified for state every year. I’m happy for our guys, but there’s more work to do. We don’t want to be satisfied with just making it into the post-season. We want to continue to improve this week and see just how far we can go.� The Titans finished with 405 yards of total offense against the Raiders last Friday night, while holding ESC to 179 total yards of offense. SCC’s

Zane Neubaum, who was a perfect 7-for-7 on point-after kicks on the night for SCC, booted his first extra point through and SCC led 7-0. With 2:04 remaining in the first quarter, Kody Case scored the first of his three touchdowns in the contest on a two-yard run.

In the third quarter with 5:14 remaining, Case scored the final

touchdown for the Titans with a 57yard run. East Sac County’s lone score came on a Sam Scott one-yard run with 24 seconds remaining in the third. Scott led the Raiders in rushing with 10 carries for 44 yards and he completed nine passes for 80 yards and an interception at quarterback. The Titans defense came away with one take-away in the contest as Hunter Muhlbauer intercepted a Scott pass with 10:36 remaining in the first half.

thank you Life is sometimes hard and it doesn’t always go as we would have it. We are humbly reminded that despite our hopes, ultimately it is the Lord’s purpose that will prevail. It is hard, but even in the troubled times, His grace and mercy shines through in those around us, and for that we are very thankful. Despite our loss, we DUH DPD]HG DW DOO ZH KDYH WR EH JUDWHIXO IRU 7KDQN \RX WR WKH ¿UVW UHVSRQGHUV /\WWRQ YROXQWHHU ¿UHPHQ Sac City ambulance crew and Loring Hospital emergency staff who responded so quickly and skillfully in attending to Earl’s needs at the time of his heart attack. Because of you, we were given several more days to tell him how much we loved him. Thank you to everyone who sent cards or words of encouragement via texts, Facebook or phone calls. Your support and prayers carried us when we grew weary. Thank you to the school and community for all the ways that you remembered Earl after his passing from this life. We always knew he was an amazing husband, father, grandpa and great-grandpa, but were humbled that others also saw those special qualities. Your expressions of comfort and friendship, and the memories that you shared with us, somehow provided us joy during a time of deep sadness. Thank you to the bus kids who decorated the bus, left notes, shared stories or came to the visitation or funeral. He truly loved and cared for you by name and we are sure he would be hoping for much peace and many blessings for each of you. Thank you to all those who helped with the harvest. Your generous giving of your time and equipment when harvest was calling all equally allowed time for Earl’s family to make the trip to Des Moines to be with him, without the added worry of feeling a pull to be at home. It was welcome help and so very appreciated. Finally, and most important, thank you to our Father above for sending him to live in our home and to be a part of our family, community and school. He was a special man and we feel blessed to have had him as part of our lives. Sincerely, the family of Earl Bartels, Nelda, Barb and Doug, Teresa and Kurt, Doug and Jamie, Julie and Ryan
