Pipeline protests continue in Calhoun County • Protesters set up camp in Calhoun County

• Protesters arrested at Sigourney Avenue pipeline construction site

By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Ask Shirley Gerjets why she opened her Calhoun County property to pipeline protesters, who established an encampment there last week, and she waves her hand to the north. There, maybe a quarter of a mile beyond her backyard, Dakota Access construction crews work beside towering piles of dark, black dirt. “That’s why, right there,” Gerjets said. “It’s just sickening to watch them rip up the dirt.” Like many farmers who have spoken with The Graphic-Advocate in recent weeks, Gerjets has little faith that the construction won’t cause permanent damage to the fertile topsoil and rich subsoils. She’s doubtful of assurances from pipeline officials and ISG inspectors that contractors have removed all of the dirt that could be classified as topsoil – too much dark dirt was left on the ground for that to be true, she said. And she doesn’t expect the compaction, caused by construction crews driving heavy equipment back and forth across her fields, to go away in her lifetime. “The compacted soil will not recover,” she said. Her dad bought the property, located on the corner of 270 th Street and Sigourney Avenue in 1950. Her late husband farmed with her dad, and the Gerjets moved into the family home when her parents moved to town decades ago. When Gerjets’ husband died in 1995, she and her son kept farming the land there, and still do. Gerjets ignored the phone calls and messages from Dakota Access officials earlier this year. She wasn’t interested in signing a voluntary easement with them. After the Iowa Utilities Board granted Dakota Access eminent domain powers last spring, Gerjets ended up in a condemnation hearing. She’s appealing the amount the condemnation board awarded her, but knows she won’t have a chance to make her arguments for months. She decided to let Bold Iowa pro-

testers use her yard, to the west of her home, as a protest encampment because she wanted to bring more attention to the plight of farmers like her. “There’s still a lot of people, if they’re not close to it or involved in it, they don’t pay attention to it,” she said. “We’ve got to get people to pay more attention.” Br uce Hopkins of Sioux City joined the protests in Calhoun County for several reasons. He doesn’t trust that the pipeline won’t leak, for one, he said. He doesn’t see many Iowans working on the pipeline, despite Dakota Access’ promise of jobs for state residents. More importantly, the attitudes he sees from the workers who are on the job sites just don’t represent the Iowa he knows, he said. “Ethically, we don’t stand for what we see (from the workers),” he said. What’s missing, he added, is a “sense of decency, fair play” and a sense that the state government is representing and protecting Iowans’ interests. Instead, what Hopkins sees is a project that was pushed through by state officials without adequately proving that it would benefit Iowans. At the encampment last week, Bold Iowa’s Ed Fallon said the ultimate goal is to stop the Dakota Access pipeline from continuing work across the state. It’s hard to say how long the protesters will remain on site, he said. “(Dakota Access’ crews) are moving pretty aggressively today,” he said. “People are here to make a statement and take action when we

need to.” Fallon organized the protesters who came to Calhoun County Oct. 15. He and Cyndy Coppola of Des Moines were arrested that day on land Coppola’s family owns south of Somers. Both pleaded not guilty to trespassing charges and both have requested a jury trial. Fallon expected about 20 protesters to camp at Gerjets’ property.

Lake City residents could be shopping at Dollar General by the end of the year. Dollar General spokeswoman Crystal Ghassemi told The GraphicAdvocate the company anticipates a soft opening in December, with a grand opening ceremony in January. “Obviously, construction progress

can alter the exact timeline,” she added. Once open, the store will employ six to 10 workers, depending on the store’s needs, she said. Word of Dollar General’s interest first reached Lake City in January, when a Lake City Council member brought up reports of Dollar General representatives meeting with a real estate agent. In April, the company’s design firm filed plans for a 9,000-square-

foot store on West Main Street, across the street from Macke Motors. Lake City’s Planning and Zoning Board initially deferred a vote on the proposal, citing a need for more information about the company’s plans. Board members also questioned the proposed location, which is outside of the city center, where zoning officials have tried to direct commercial growth.

See Dollar General Page 10

Dakota Access pipeline protesters tried a new tactic Saturday. A group of about 25 protesters, many of whom had been camping on farmer Shirley Gerjets’ lawn since Tuesday, parked on a field north of her home, just south of a construction site. The protesters then walked

through the field to the site, where the pipeline crossed under Sigourney Avenue, east of Rockwell City. They brought with them a document stating Gerjets gave them permission to be on her land – all of it, including the pipeline’s construction easement. Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Davis and more than half a dozen other law enforcement officers were waiting, as were Dakota Access’ security guards. When the protesters stepped from the recently harvested field on to the disturbed soil, or up on the piles of topsoil that line the pipeline route, they were apprehended, arrested and taken to the Sac County Jail, where the charges would be formally filed against them.

SCC Elementary students cast ballots in mock election By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor The presidential election may not be until next week, but the South Central Calhoun Elementary School kid election is already done. Technology teacher Marleta Smith treated students to the full election experience last week, talking with the kids about how to cast a ballot. “You’ll sign in,” Smith said, explaining that adults have to do the same at voting time. “I’ll give you a ballot. You will choose who you vote for.” Students were rewarded with an “I Voted” sticker, just like their adult counterparts will be on Nov. 8. First-grader Tucker Berner said he already got one of those stickers, when he accompanied his mom to a voting booth once. Berner easily explained democracy, using a recess example. If a class votes and 10 people want to stay inside, but 13 want to go outside, the group will go outside because the majority wins. Voting is important, he added, “because if you wanted to have something, (you should vote for it).” John Patterson, another first-grade student, agreed that voting is important.

“Because if you vote for the wrong person, other people might vote for that person, too and bad things might happen,” he said. Bailey Solko was able to correctly answer Smith’s question about the age at which Americans can vote. “You have to be 18,” Solko said, adding she knew that “because my mom told me. It was awhile ago.” People want to be president, she said, because “they want to make the world better.” Students cast 259 useable ballots, Smith said. In the presidential race, Republican Donald Trump edged out Democrat Hillary Clinton 95 votes to 86 votes. Green Party candidate Jill Stein received 31 votes, while Libertarian Gary Johnson received 27 votes. Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party received 16 votes. In the U.S. Senate race, incumbent Charles Grassley, a Republican, bested four challengers, winning with 73 votes. Democrat Patty Judge received 49 votes, while James Hennager and Michael Luick each received 44 votes. Charles Aldrich received 19 votes. Republican Steve King beat Democrat challenger Kim Weaver in the vote for U.S. House of Representatives. King received 122 votes to Weaver’s 115.

Empty Nest By Curt Swarm Haunted House I opened Facebook and the first picture I saw was the house I grew up in at Monroe. I did a double take. My childhood flashed before my eyes: fishing in ponds, baling hay, idyllic days of hunting rabbit, squirrel, and pheasant. I’ve written about Maple Hill before, as it is sort of famous, or has a reputation anyway, of being haunted, thus the reason for it being on Facebook: Halloween is just around the corner. Maple Hill has been featured on some national haunted-house shows, and has been on Iowa Public Television. It is a behemoth, pre-Civil War, Colonial structure that made headlines once again a couple of years ago when it was moved. Some wealthy person came along and bought it, had it moved, and began restoration. Did the ghosts accompany the structure?-that was the big question. Balderdash! There were no ghosts at Maple Hill, and I otta know. We lived there for 10 years. One of the main rooms featured as the “ghost room,� wallpapered with airplanes, was my bedroom. My mother wallpapered that bedroom. I made a comment on Facebook as to my doubts that the house was haunted. As the day progressed, more people, some of them classmates of mine who had also lived in the house at various times, commented. They all told the same story: no ghosts. So, how does this stuff get started? There’s some wild tale about there being a tunnel from the house to the barn, which was across the road, and that the house was a station on the Underground Railroad. Trust me on this one, if there had been a tunnel I would have known it. Like a spelunker, I explored every nook and cranny in that house, from the dirty coal room to the mousy attic. There

is no tunnel, nor is there signs of what used to be one. I still have dreams about the house: I’m a writer in isolation, holed up in an upstairs room, writing the great American Novel, looking out the window at the Grant Wood setting. I’ve questioned relatives who stayed at the house at various times as to whether they witnessed anything strange. (Only me, they said.) But a niece tells the story that when she was little, she became lost in the home’s many staircases and hallways. She began to cry. An old woman dressed in 19th Century clothing took her by the hand and led her out. My niece has no idea who the old woman was. One of the bedrooms had a window overlooking a stairwell. A nephew, upon awaking in the night, saw an old woman through the window, who was very angry, telling him to get out of the house, that he didn’t belong there. The old woman then turned into a young, beautiful woman fighting with an old man. The old man was on fire, and the flames spread to the young woman’s dress. To this

day, my nephew believes that what he saw was real. So, why would people who didn’t live in the house have seen these ghosts, but not us? Perhaps we belonged there? I’ve taken Ginnie to see the house at its new location. It doesn’t seem right that it is no longer at the top of a hill surrounded by maples. The few trees there are scrub oak and scraggly piss elms. From the safety of my car, I study the windows to see if a face appears. Nothing. But this Halloween, I’m sure the house will be a feature on spook shows once again, with tales of bizarre happenings and other paranormal nonsense. Let it be known that I lived in that house and nothing unusual, except for typical family stuff, happened there. Except... 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 on 103.6 FM in Farmington.

The Calhoun County Board of Supervisors took no action on a request from Calhoun County landowners and their attorney to petition the Iowa Utilities Board for sanctions against Dakota Access. Cyndy Coppola, whose family owns land south of Somers, brought her appeal to the board Oct. 25. Her attorney wrote to the board Oct. 13 to make the same request. She explained to the board why she wanted the board to ask the IUB to intervene and stop Dakota Access from work-

ing on her property until the construction mess has been completely removed. “They’re letting they’re contractors park their personal vehicles on the fields,� Coppola said, adding she doubted her late father would have done that. “Some are probably leaking fluids, and they are compacting the land more. They have clearly exhibited they have no respect for Iowa land.� Coppola is one of nine Iowa landowners who banded together to sue the IUB in Polk County District Court after that board granted Dakota Access eminent domain powers to seize easements for the oil pipeline.

Board Chairman Mike Cooper said the county hasn’t been able to respond to her attorney’s letter. “At this point, our county attorney is tied up,� Cooper said. “We really don’t have an answer at this point.� Calhoun County Attorney Tina Meth Farrington has been prosecuting trials this month and hasn’t had a chance to respond to the letter or request, Cooper said. Coppola didn’t think the supervisors needed to wait for Farrington. “I don’t think it’s that hard to fill out a petition,� she said, adding she has filed several complaints about the construction process and Dakota Access with the IUB, using that agency’s online forms. She said the supervisors should not allow Dakota Access to continue to drive construction debris – the synthetic material coating the pipe that comes off the pipe when it’s cut, the remnants of pipe left after cutting, wood and other items – in her family’s land. “I do believe in taking care of the land,� she said. “I do believe Dakota Access should not be burying debris in the land.� The IUB’s ruling allowing eminent domain has made the supervisors stewards of the land, she added. The board should “make it clear Dakota Access cannot leave debris on the land.� Coppola received a letter Oct. 24 from Evan Del Val, who is supervising the ISG inspectors tasked with making sure Dakota Access follows the provisions set forth by the agriculture impact mitigation plan. In the letter, Del Val told her Dakota Access is allowed to leave the debris until final cleanup. One problem with that, she said, is Dakota Access is using the easement on her land as a road to reach their construction site in rest of the section. “I just don’t think they’ll pick it up,� she said.

Protesters from page 1 At least two protesters successfully scaled the tall dirt piles before being grabbed by security guards. The second man to do so was grabbed from behind by a guard and appeared to have been dragged to the ground. A woman watching the incident began shouting at the security guards, accusing them of using unnecessary force to detain the protesters, who will likely face trespassing charges. Gerjets posted signs on trees around her home noting Bold Iowa and Iowa Concerned Citizens Initiative supporters were invited to be on her land. “She wanted to make it clear that we are welcome and the pipeline is not,� Bold Iowa’s Ed Fallon said. “I’d like to stop the pipeline construction from happening. I hope that the way

OPEN HOUSE

this action goes, it allows us to bring up some (arguments) in court that haven’t been addressed.� Specifically, Fallon said, is the doubt that some farmers, such as Gerjets, have about the state granting Dakota Access eminent domain authority. Gerjets didn’t want Dakota Access to bury a pipeline under her farmland and has fought the decision from the beginning. At least seven protesters were arrested. Jeanette Hopkins of Sioux City was waiting on Gerjets’ lawn Saturday afternoon, before Fallon began issuing instructions to the protesters. “I just think it’s amazing the new of patrolmen the pipeline has ahead of time,� Hopkins said. “Then they blame the protesters (for causing that

many officers to respond to protest sites). ‌ We’ve got a (law enforcement) car for every (water) protector.â€? Sandy Eccles, of Missouri, came to Manson to visit her mother, and to join in the protests. She considered making the trek to North Dakota, where Native Americans and environmental activists clashed with security guards and law enforcement officers last week, in protests against the same pipeline there. “I’m turning 70 and I decided it’s time to start doing something,â€? Eccles said. “We’re just headed to environmental disaster. I want to leave a legacy other than being an art teacher, gypsy, hippie grandmother.â€?

Retreat attracts quilters from across the Midwest By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Twice a year, quilters from across Iowa and the Midwest make the trip to Twin Lakes Christian Center. There, the quilters – all women this fall – learn a new quilt pattern, compare techniques and enjoy the company of similarly minded crafters. Mary Van Loh of Chicago has been coming to the fall retreat for years. She has gone to retreats in Chicago, too. The ones at Twin Lakes are better, she said. “Here you have socialization and fellowship and trust that you don’t there,” Van Loh said. Marcia Ahlrichs of Rockwell City convinced Van Loh to try out the quilt retreat. The two were camp counselors together, decades ago. Ahlrichs has also attended the retreat for years; she started in 2003, after she retired from teaching. “When you sew, you need a block of time to really get things done,” she said. The retreat provides that, as well as space to work, people to offer tips and feedback and food. Several of the two dozen attendees mentioned how much they appreciated that bit of assistance – they didn’t have to stop to cook or clean up after a meal, which gave them more time for sewing. Ahlrichs had already learned the four-patch kaleidoscope pattern retreat instructor Marlene Armbrecht was teaching. For the retreat, Ahlrichs tracked down several brightly colored fabrics, which she planned to use to recreate a favorite set of

placements. Raynette McGonegle has been coming to the retreat since 1996. “It’s a fun time to get away with other like-minded family members,” she said, while arranging and cutting fabric. “You learn new stuff every time you come, too.” At the next table over, Marlene Jensen of Atlantic fed fabric through a Singer Featherweight sewing machine that was manufactured in either 1936 or 1938. “They’re good little machines,” she said, adding the sewing machine doesn’t have some of the capabilities of a newer, fancier machine. “I just do the quilts that have straight lines. That’s most of them.” Armbrecht has been teaching at the retreat since the 1980s, she said.

“I roam around (the room in which sewing takes place),” she said. “I help everybody individually.” She recently attended another quilt retreat, and her personal interest these days is in paper piecing and Judy Nieymeyer patters. “They’re very involved,” Armbrecht said. “They’re challenging. It’s fun.” She also enjoyed the four-patch kaleidoscope pattern she was teaching. Her quilt in that pattern took one intricately patterned fabric and turned it into fabric artwork. “It’s just so colorful and so fun seeing what you can create with just one fabric,” she said. The quilters will return to Twin Lakes for their next retreat in March.

High schoolers organize blood drive By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor A blood drive at South Central Calhoun High School Thursday gave Lorie Otto’s health occupations students a chance to try their hand at working with patients. The students hope to enter the medical profession, in a variety of fields. Makayla Patterson, a senior, wants to work in the surgical service for the U.S. Air Force. “My dad was in the Army for 13 years,” she said. “I just want to follow in his footsteps. I want to be in health care.” Keely Hammen is interested in sonography. “I think I saw it on a list (of health care jobs),” Hammen said. “My

mom’s a nurse. I always knew I wanted to work in health care.” Meghan Dietrich has a different medical path in mind – she’s interested in studying acupuncture and massage therapy. “I really like the idea of an alternative therapy that will give relief without putting a drug in you,” Dietrich said. The students all said they planned to try to donate blood themselves during the drive. They were waiting, though, for the community members, teachers and students who had signed up for appointment times. Donors arrived at the gym with positive attitudes, Patterson said, and occasionally nerves about donating a pint of blood. Notable this year, teacher Otto said, was the prevalence of firsttime blood donors. More than half of

donors – 45 total – had never given blood before. Otto said the goal for the drive was to get nine first-time donors. In all, donors gave 83 units of blood, exceeding the goal of 74 units, she added. “The student body is always awesome,” Otto sad. “They really support each other in all areas.” The students get support from the community, too, she said, and not just in the form of blood donors. A number of businesses, including Opportunity Living, Lake City Drive Inn, Subway in Rockwell City, the Capri Theater and Casey’s General Store provided items and gift cards for the blood drive. Otto said she always has one additional hope for the blood drive. “My goal is to get kids to donate the rest of their lives,” she said.

Obituaries Joanne Brandt Joanne L. (Jensen) Brandt, age 71, of Flower Mound, TX, formerly of Galva, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Saturday, October 22, 2016 at her home of Flower Mound, TX after being diagnosed two months ago with gallbladder cancer. She is now with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. A funeral service was held on Friday, October 28, 2016 at 1:30 PM at the Nicklas D. Jensen Funeral Home of Holstein with the Rev. Paul D. Egger officiating. Burial was at the Galva Township West Cemetery of Galva. A visitation will be held one hour prior to the service starting at 12:30 PM at the funeral home. Joanne Lynn (Jensen) Brandt was born in Holstein, Iowa on March 5, 1945. Joanne graduated from Galva High School in 1962. She has two children, Don Brandt, Jr. from Oakville, Ontario, Canada and Kris Vaughn from Dallas, TX. Her children were foremost in her life, and she worked very hard to support them. When living in Lake View, IA she worked at a number of jobs (popcorn plant, waitress, dry cleaners, Dr. Durst’s office, Contel). Joanne’s 25-year career at Contel / GTE / Verizon began as a Customer Service Representative. Over the years, she was promoted to positions in Iowa locations (Knoxville, Chariton, Newton) and then to the GTE World Headquarters in Dallas, TX in 1992. Highlights of her career included implementing the GTE billing system from Caracus, Venezula, as well as Tampa, FL. Ultimately, she received the prestigious Verizon President’s award prior to retiring in 2003 as Manager of Bill Design. Upon retirement, Joanne needed to keep busy and began working in 2007 for

Joanne Brandt The Strategic Solution as their data-entry consultant. She loved every challenge that was presented to her and the people she worked with worldwide even more. As if this wasn’t enough, she also became a Scentsy consultant. Joanne had a presence that radiated a maternal instinct and all those who were lucky enough to meet her called her “Grandma Jo�. She identified as Grandma Jo in every aspect of her life: Scentsy website address, Christmas letters, bright yellow luggage strap, etc. She was introduced to everyone as Grandma Jo. She organized, planned, and funded many family trips with food and crafts for her grandkids to enjoy. Visits to Grandma Jo’s house always included fun events and special memories for her beloved grandkids. During her 24 years in Flower Mound she built three beautiful homes. She was an avid gardener and was recognized with Yard of the Month in Newton and twice in Flower Mound. Joanne didn’t see a rock she didn’t like. Grandma Jo loved to decorate for the holidays at home and in the office. She inherited the love of baking from her dear mother, Lois. Her specialty was cinnamon rolls that covered a plate. Joanne is survived by her son, Don Brandt, Jr. (Susan) and daughter Kris Brandt Vaughn (Trent).

LOHRVILLE My thought for the day is: From now til Christmas, I will be putting in “Holiday Eating Tips�. Today’s is: Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately and go next door where they are serving rum balls. The Trivia question for the week is: What is the name of the official governors residence? Our birthday best wishes go out to: Dave Nepple on the 9th, Mark Irwin on the 10th along with fellow columnist, Pat Schmitt on the 10th. Hope you all had a good one. On Wednesday, October 26th the Lohrville United Methodist Women met at the home of Bette Knapp for a pot luck dinner. President, Toni

Kerns welcomed eight members by reading Joshua 24:16. The Unit received a Silver Award for being devoted to working in UMW Missions. Nila Spenser had the program on the World Thanks Offering and read from Hebrews 16. She offered prayer at the beginning and end of her program. A card was signed for a Missionary’s birthday. A report was given on the Unit’s trip to Beacon of Hope Missions in Fort Dodge, where they took a meal. The Annual Cookie Walk - which is the first Saturday in December - was planned. A very nice pot luck was enjoyed by all. The answer to the trivia question is: Terrace Hill. So until next week, have a good one.

SUNNY KNOLL We were busy this week celebrating birthdays! Nadine Adkins and Kay Meyer celebrated birthdays with cake and ice cream on Wednesday and Thursday. Both ladies seemed to enjoy their special day with friends and family and of course presents. The week before, Doris Hildreth had celebrated her birthday, I think we have eaten enough cake to last us a month, but we always seem to make room for cake and ice cream! We had a chance this week to talk about the beautiful weather and how it really does not feel like fall. We have the trees changing colors and the leaves falling to remind us of the time of year. We also talked about the upcoming winter and how snow is probably just around the corner with November. We took predictions on when the first snow will fall in Iowa. Many of us think we are in for a long winter with lots of snow. We are gearing up for the elections. We are voting here on Wednesday,

November 2, 2016. We have had Johnson, Trump and Clinton supporters in our building spreading their messages and reminding everyone how important it is to get out and vote. We are fortunate enough to have the Calhoun County Auditor’s office make it so easy for our residents to participate in every election! Remember to get out and vote. I would like to remind everyone that we offer social hour several times a week. We have Happy Hour, Tunes and Treats on Tuesday’s at 2 pm. We also have Ice Cream Social’s every Friday at 2 pm (rain or shine). We have a men’s coffee group that meets every Friday morning at 9:30 am and a ladies coffee group that meets every Thursday (except the 2nd Thursday, that’s ceramics day) of every month at 2 pm. We invite everyone to come and join us and visit with friends. Jennifer RobertsActivity Director

Thank you to Martin & Peggy Hildreth who arrived at Sunnyview a few nights ago bringing root beer floats for everyone. We heard that the Hildreth’s were well-received, and we would guess that the treats just hit the spot. By the time this is in print, it looks like the World Series will be over. Did your team win? Speaking of baseball, here is a question. Harry: “What would you get if you crossed a baseball player with a Boy Scout?� Jerry: “I don’t know, but I bet he sure could pitch a tent.� Happy Birthday to our November birthday people: Jimmy, Dale, Ron and Liz. Also, best wishes to all the farmers who are busy in the fields. According to www.timeanddate. com/sun/usa/des-moines, the sunrise in Des Moines on 10-26-16 was 7:40 a.m. and sunset was 6:10 p.m., and that already seems like a short amount of daylight. With the upcoming Daylight Savings change, things will get even more offset. So, do we fall forward or fall back? (We fall back one hour.) The adjustment goes into effect on Sunday, Nov. 6, and it can be tricky to change all the clocks. Somehow the whole thing feels a bit like jet lag. Meanwhile, the daylight hours will continue to dwindle. Thank goodness, after the Dec. 21 solstice (the “shortest day�) the amount of daylight will start to lengthen. Are you looking for an opportunity to honor our veterans? Here’s

an idea! There is a Veteran’s Day program at the SCC Middle School in Rockwell City on Friday, Nov. 11 at 1:30 p.m. The Veteran’s Day program has been exceptional in previous years (we understand that it all started at the former Lytton school). See you there! During certain afternoons in the Sunnyview bird room (the site of card games and jig-saw puzzles), you might wonder what the ruckus is about. Those card games can get loud and sometimes noisy. It’s good to hear about all the fun going on, and maybe more people will join in since the weather seems to be changing! How about an escape from the routine? It wouldn’t have to be far away -- it might even be a mystery. This brings to mind the following mystery about an escape artist. A kangaroo kept getting out of his pen at the zoo. Knowing that he could hop high, the zoo officials decided to put up a ten-foot fence. He was out the next morning, just hopping around the zoo. A twenty-foot fence was put up. Again he escaped. When the fence was thirty feet high, a camel in the next pen asked the kangaroo, “How high do you think they’ll go?� The kangaroo replied, “About a thousand feet, unless somebody starts locking the gate at night.� Remember, our website is sunnyviewil.com and the coffee is always on.

County offers voter check-in options Calhoun County voters will again have the option of using an Iowa driver’s license or their voter ID to expedite the check-in process at the Nov. 8 General Election. County Auditor Judy Howrey said barcode scanners will be available to voters in all precincts.

The scanners read the barcode on the back of the voter’s driver’s license in order to search for and select the correct voter. The process is fast and accurate, but it is the voter’s choice whether to use their driver’s license.

CENTRAL SCHOOL REMEMBERS November, 2006 10 Years Ago

Four Southern Cal High School vocal music students have achieved the highest honor awarded to an Iowa high school musician. On Saturday, October 21, sophomores Karel Zenor, Cathleen Watters and Jordan Otto and junior Nicholas Kavanaugh auditioned and were selected to participate in the 2006 Iowa High School All State Chorus. These four students, together with senior Erin Thieszen, juniors Jaclyn Wernimont and Evan Kavanaugh and sophomore Beth Korleski practiced and prepared eight songs for the auditions. The Lake City Pool Committee would like to start off by thanking the community for showing great interest in this endeavor, and they look forward to working with everyone toward the common goal of building our future into a brighter, better place to live and work. They believe that the youth as well as the adult population of Lake City would benefit from this facility. The Long Range Pool Committee put many hours into carefully putting together a plan to best serve our community. The fundraising committee has been working hard over the past few months laying the ground work to raise the funds needed to build our community a

new pool. Starla & Doug Winter, owners of “Once, Then & Again Antiques & Collectibles� along with family and friends are hosting a community Thanksgiving Dinner. This dinner is a community spirited Thanksgiving meal for those without family to spend the day with, whether it be due to work conflicts, travel problems or any other reasons. The dinner will be held at the Lake City Community Building on Thanksgiving Day beginning at 4:30 p.m. This will be a first come first service basis. The Southern Cal National Honor Society recently held an induction ceremony for newly inducted members. The new members include: Kristen Meyer, Emily Pudenz, Marcus Irwin, Todd Irwin, Nicholas Kavanaugh, Natalie Gemberling, Sydney Snyder, Stephanie Trost, Jordon Otto, Heidi Reynolds and Cathleen Watters. Current members: Gavin Crandall, Keaton Hildreth, Cyle Johnson, Adam Reynolds, Bekah Corkrean, Jenna Jacobs, Erin Thieszen, Emma Hucka and Jeff Redenius.

The Iowa Drainage District Association is already preparing for the Iowa Legislature’s 2017 session. “Legislatively, I think that water quality and funding for water quality improvements is going to be a very hot topic this year, as it was last year,â€? Director John Torbert told The Graphic-Advocate last week. “(Last year), they were not able to come to a conclusion. ‌ I think we’ll see a lot of those same ideas back on the table.â€? One variable, come January, will be the new legislators, elected this month. A big challenge, he said, will be for legislators to find a permanent funding source for water qual-

ity improvements. While Gov. Terry Branstad is on board – he’s been championing the need for such projects – Torbert said it isn’t easy for legislators to generate new revenue. He said he does see leaders in both political parties interested in helping farmers implement water quality improvement practices. The IDDA has taken care not to advocate a particular improvement process or proposal, Torbert said, in part because the group is awaiting the outcome of the Des Moines Water Works lawsuit. Once that’s resolved – something Torbert acknowledged could take years – it might be easier to begin advocating for specific water quality programs. Supervisors, who serve as the drainage district trustees the IDDA represents, are beginning to feel some fatigue as the lawsuit has

dragged on, Torbert said. Torbert remained firm in his opinion that the lawsuit won’t reduce nitrate levels in Iowa rivers. “This lawsuit is going to do nothing to improve water quality in the state,� he said. “It’s not going to have the outcome in terms of (creating) clean water in the state.� Remember, he said, the drainage districts themselves have no authority to tell farmers how to use their land, and no staff to create or enforce new rules. About 16 percent of Iowa’s land is covered by drainage districts. “You’re not going to achieve statewide results with 16 percent of the land,� Torbert said. “I think it’s great that we’re talking about clean water. Suing drainage districts is not going to get that resolved.�

Titan choirs perform

Haden endorses Batz for Auditor To the Editor: My name is Ron Haden and I retired in 2015 after 25 years as the Calhoun County Engineer. During that time I had the opportunity to interview and hire Robin Batz as the office manager in the County Engineer’s office. As she learned the variety of duties in my office, I was impressed with her hard work and dedication. She is very thorough and excellent with computer programs. She used computer programs for various duties including payroll, entering bills and sending out invoices. She created an Excel spreadsheet to track use and balance of vacation, sick leave, overtime, and other time off. She then linked the individual employee sheets to provide monthly reports for the office and shops. She also expertly handled phone calls from constituents. These phone calls often times included complaints and Robin handled whatever the situation was, as well as all her office duties,

very professionally. After 11 years in the engineer’s office Robin had the opportunity to move to the auditor’s office where she took on many new duties. I continued to work with her on many issues and on the county insurance committee. She was involved in all aspects of the auditor’s office and could answer questions and solve problems when the auditor was out of the office. Robin is now the Republican candidate for the office of Calhoun County Auditor. From my 20+ years of working with Robin I believe she is the most qualified candidate and will work tirelessly to fulfill the duties of County Auditor. I encourage you to vote for Robin Batz for County Auditor. With her commitment, dedication, work ethic and abilities, the Calhoun County Auditor’s office will be in good hands. Ron Haden Lytton

To the Editor: I am supporting Karen Norine for Calhoun County Auditor and asking your support for her as well. I have worked under Karen’s supervision as an election worker for six years. Karen and Judy Howrey, the current Calhoun County Auditor, are the only ones in the office that oversee the training. Karen is the only candidate that is a Certified State Election Administrator (which takes 40 hours). The duties she has been responsible for as Deputy Auditor include maintaining voter registration files, managing and testing voting equipment, preparing all supplies for electios, training election workers, training and overseeing the nursing home boards, staying up to date with Continuing Education and setting up training, absentee voting and testing election equipment, beginning five to six weeks ahed of the election. Karen trains for accuracy, voter’s privacy, respect and is very attentive to details. Some of the duties she has been responsible for as Deputy Auditor include preparing the county budget for the last six years and serving as a substitute clerk for the Board of Supervisors. She is the only candidate who attended three days of auditor schooling, the only candidate to chair the Census Board. She also compiles levies for all taxing authorities, such

as townships, cities, schools, county, assessor, ag extension, E911 and EMS. She also prepares MATRI and construction permit applications for board hearings, publishes notices and sends to surrounding landowners, is a passport agent, for which she accepts new passport applications and submits those to the U.S. Department of State and assists the public in preparing passport renewals, processes real estate transfers in software programs, updates the plat books, assists the public with searching property descriptions and deeds. Karen is also familiar with payroll and claims processes and is currently training on new software. Working with Karen, I have witnessed her courteous and friendly services to all citizens. Karen is married to Brian Norine and together they own and operate Norine TV, for which she has kept books for the past 26 years. They have two grown sons and three grandchildren. I am Norma Barkhaus, a 40-year resident of Calhoun County and have worked for the Auditor’s office for 10 years as an election worker for all elections. I feel Karen is the most qualified candidate and encourage you to check out her qualifications and vote for her on Nov. 8. I take great pride in endorsing Karen Norineas our next Calhoun County Auditor. Norma Barkhaus

J.J. Hands Book Club to meet Nov. 10 The J.J. Hands Library Book Club will discuss two books with Iowa influences in November. The first is “By the Iowa Sea: A Memoir” by Joe Blair. “Heralding the arrival of an original American voice, “By the Iowa Sea” is a wrenching, unsentimental account of the heartbreaks and ecstasies of marriage, fatherhood, and small-town Midwestern life. After his first cross-country motorcycle trip, Joe Blair believed he had discovered his calling: he would travel; he would never cave in to convention; he would never settle down. Fifteen years later, he finds

himself living in Iowa, working as an air-conditioning repairman and spending his free time cleaning gutters, taxiing his children, and contemplating marital infidelity. When the Iowa River floods, transforming the familiar streets of his small town into a terrible and beautiful sea, Joe begins to question the path that led him to this place.” The second book is the 2016 All Iowa Reads selection, “Lila” by Marilynne Robinson. “Marilynne Robinson, one of the greatest novelists of our time, returns to the town of Gilead in an unforgettable story

of a girlhood lived on the fringes of society in fear, awe, and wonder. Lila, homeless and alone after years of roaming the countryside, steps inside a small-town Iowa church – the only available shelter from the rain – and ignites a romance and a debate that will reshape her life. She becomes the wife of a minister, John Ames, and begins a new existence while trying to make sense of the life that preceded her newfound security.” Please plan to join the book club on Nov. 10 at their winter start time of 5:30 p.m.

Dreaming of a New Career?

The new Dollar General building is seen in Lake City Friday. Company officials expect the store to open by the end of the year. GRAPHICADVOCATE PHOTO/ERIN SOMMERS

Dollar General from page 1 “When choosing store locations, meeting customers’ needs is Dollar General’s top priority,� Ghassemi said in an email to The GraphicAdvocate last week. “The company looks for places where we can offer customers an easy and convenient shopping choice. We know convenience is a major factor in our customers’ shopping decisions as we generally serve customers within a three- to five-mile radius, or 10-minute drive. We also take demographic trends, competitive factors, traffic patterns and community concerns into consideration.�

In May, a representative of Dollar General’s exclusive development agency told the zoning board the company couldn’t find a suitable lot large enough in downtown to build a standalone store. The Planning and Zoning Board ultimately sent the rezoning request to the city council with a positive recommendation. Dollar General is also planning to build another store in Calhoun County, to be located on the south side of Manson. Dollar General already operates a store in Rockwell City.

Homeward Inc., Clarion-based organization that provides loans and grants to low-income homeowners in 42 counties, including Calhoun, is taking steps to bolster its trust fund as the need for matching contributions has increased. Started in 1998, Homeward Inc. is owned by eight rural electric cooperatives, including Calhoun County REC, which joined in 2013. “Our mission has always been to assist rural families with their homes,� Program Manager Deb Prehm told the Calhoun County Board of Supervisors Oct. 25. Homeward Inc. accomplishes that mission by offering loans and grants to low-income homeowners to help with repairs and maintenance, as well as helping renters with one-time deposit and utilities assistance. Calhoun County residents have received about $220,000 from the program. Prehm said one of the reasons that figure falls short of the amounts distributed in other counties – fig-

ures that reach to $3 million – is the relative newness of the program here. Her partnership with Calhoun County’s General Assistance program does bring her into contact with families who qualify for the grant and loan funds, she said. Right now, Homeward’s financial stability is being threatened by an increasing need to provide matching funds. A primary source of Homeward’s funding has been from state sources, and those sources now want Homeward to match what they provide. That has drawn down the Homeward Trust Fund, Prehm said. “We’re asking for $5,000 per county per year,� Prehm said. She said Homeward’s board would like an answer from the counties soon, but wouldn’t need the money until 2018. If not all counties commit to providing the funding, Prehm said the program may just shut down. Prehm said she has tried to implement some of Homeward’s other programs in Calhoun County. “I tried in Manson to do a couple houses,� she said, referring to a program that provides home construction loans. “It just didn’t work out.�

SCC falls to Nighthawks in 2016 football playoffs By Doug Dornath South Central Calhoun’s varsity football team held an early 10-7 second quarter lead over the BoydenHull/Rock Valley Nighthawks following a Zane Neubaum 30-yard field goal with 11:27 remaining in the first half in Hull Friday, Oct. 28 in the first round of the 2016 Iowa high school football playoffs. However, little went right for the Titans after that as the Nighthawks would score 42 unanswered points to advance in the 2016 Class 2A playoffs with a 49-10 victory. SCC concludes the season at 7-3 overall while BH/RV (9-1) advances to play Kuemper Catholic (9-1) Friday, Nov. 4, at Denison in the Class 2A quarterfinal round of the 2016 Iowa High School Athletic Association’s high school football playoffs. “This was not the way we wanted our season to end, but none-the-less, our team had a nice year,� said SCC head football coach Bryan Case. “I’m proud of our kids and the way they competed tonight. We just ran into a buzz saw and things got out of hand in the second quarter. Our kids have a lot to be proud of and they can hold their heads high knowing that they represented the Titans with class.� The Titans were limited to 245 yards of total offense in the contest, while the No. 2 Nighthawks amassed 583 yards of total offense including 476 yards of rushing. The Nighthawks were led by quarterback Brett Moser, who finished with 13 carries for 135 yards and two touchdown runs and he added 7-for11 passing for 97 yards and a touchdown. Teammate Jacob Schafer had 181 yards rushing on 14 attempts and a touchdown run of 39-yards. Shane Solberg had nine carries for 71 yards and two touchdown runs. SCC was led by Kody Case, who had nine carries for 128 yards, and the Titans lone touchdown of the game in the first period on a 66-yard run. Case also caught four passes from Titan quarterback Hunter Muhlbauer for 21 yards. Muhlbauer finished with six completions for 26 yards and two interceptions while he added 30 yards rushing on 10 attempts. Tanner Campbell was third in rushing against the Nighthawks with nine carries for 26 yards. The Titans’ defense against the Nighthawks was led by Tanner Macke with six solo tackles and two assisted tackles. Muhlbauer had six solos and an assisted tackle while both Case and Tyler Jones were third in tackles with 5.5 total tackles for the game. Logan Fanken had three solos and three assists to go with a

fumble recovery while Cody Schumacher had two fumble recoveries and finished with three total tackles. Scoring began in the game with 2 minutes and 39 seconds remaining in the first period as Moser scored from 1-yard out. Logan Block kicked the extra point to put the Nighthawks up 7-0. Moments later, SCC’s Case ran one in from 66 yards out with 1:51 left in the first period and Zane Neubaum tied things up at 7-7 with a successful point-after kick. With 56 seconds remaining in the first period, the Titans recovered a Nighthawk fumble at the 45-yard line of SCC. The turnover was converted to points as Case would break loose on the first play of the second period from the Nighthawk 47-yard line with a 45-yard run to set up a first and goal at the BH/RV two-yard line with 11:49 left in the first half. A pair of procedure penalties committed by the Titans would push them back and force a field goal by Zane Neubaum, who converted the 30yard field goal with 11:27 left in the first half and gave SCC its only lead of the game at 10-7.

The Nighthawks would score touchdowns on their next four possession of the first half, including the recovery of an onside kick which was later converted into a touchdown drive, to lead 35-10 at the break. BH/RV would score one touchdown in the third period and had one more touchdown drive in the fourth period. All three of the Titans losses on the season were to teams still alive in the 2016 playoffs including 10-0 Carroll High in Class 3A and BH/RV (9-1) and Kuemper Catholic (9-1) in the Class 2A playoffs. Graduating players for the 2016 Titans varsity football team included a list of 18 seniors: Justin Dick, Kody Case, Micah Lantz, Tyler O’Tool, Ashten Halvorsen, Logan Fonken, Alexander Campbell, Cody Schumacher, Tanner Campbell, Jordan Feldhans, Ben Wozniak, Brandon Assman, Jaden Nesbitt, Jesse Casey, Cade Carstens, Brendan Henkelman, A.J.
