OFFICER DOWN Martin is irreplaceable, police commander says By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Jayne and Randy Martin last saw their son, Justin, alive on Oct. 30. The Rockwell City couple regularly made the trek to Urbandale on the weekends to see Justin, their oldest child, who joined the Urbandale Police Department in late 2015. “He was off to do some weightlifting,” Jayne said, recalling that last encounter. “He was going to do some grocery shopping. He was off to eat sushi.” She laughed a little, recounting how she asked him if he had ever eaten sushi, and suggesting he find something else to order. He said he couldn’t go to a sushi bar and eat something other than sushi. “I was lucky enough to give him a big hug Sunday,” she said. “We said, ‘I love you,’ and off he ran.” Three days later, Justin was killed while working an overnight shift, shot to death by a man with a history of run-ins with police.

Martin’s death echoes 2013 Rockwell City officer killing By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor

IN THIS WEEK’S ISSUE Worship/Obits ..........page 5 Classifieds ................page 6 Legals ...................page 8 - 9 Sports ........................page 8

Janet Sterrett doesn’t have to imagine what Urbandale Police Officer Justin Martin’s parents are going through this week. Sterrett, who lives just blocks from Randy and Jayne Martin, is the mother of Rockwell City Police Officer Jamie Buenting, who was shot and killed while on duty in September 2013. “It just really opens the wound and

brings back the moments when we heard about Jamie,” Sterrett said last week. Rockwell City Police Chief Larry Schoop, who knew Martin, agreed. “I think about Jamie pretty much every day,” Schoop said Nov. 3, while standing in the Martins’ front yard. “This is definitely opening old wounds.” So much of the planning in the Martins’ home echoed the work done to prepare for Buenting’s funeral, Schoop and other officers said, from the funeral home in An-

keny used to prepare both officers’ bodies for burial to the route used to bring Buenting’s and Martin’s bodies back to Rockwell City. Both funerals were held at South Central Calhoun Middle School. “I was hoping I would never go through this again,” Schoop said. Sterrett said she heard about Martin’s death Nov. 2, and headed down to see his parents later that day. “I know exactly what they are going through, the pain, the unbearable pain,” she said. “There is nothing you can say to make it easier.”

Two officers ambushed, killed in Central Iowa By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Des Moines and Urbandale police officials say a 46-year-old Urbandale man is responsible for the assassination-style deaths of two officers last week. Scott Michael Greene was charged Nov. 3 with two counts of first-degree murder for the shooting deaths of Urbandale Police Officer Justin Martin, 24, a native of Rockwell City, and Des Moines Police Sgt. Anthony “Tony” Beminio. Police

say Greene approached both officers while they were in their vehicles and shot them multiple times. Martin’s was the first line-of-duty death in the Urbandale Police Department’s history. Urbandale Police Chief Ross McCarty told Justin Martin’s parents he doesn’t believe Martin had any chance to react to the “devastating” assault. “I’m fairly confident he was incapacitated immediately,” McCarty said. “It was as much an assassination as anything.”

Justin, who graduated from Rockwell City/Lytton High School in 2011, knew police officer Jamie Buenting, who was killed while on duty here in 2013. Jayne said her friends would occasionally ask her if she was worried about Justin’s choice of profession, given the dangers of the job. Buenting lived on the same block as the Martins, and his mother lives at the other end of the same street. But Justin had wanted to work in law enforcement since middle school, Randy said. It was a job he was called to do, and one he excelled at, Jayne added. “He loves his job, he’s proud of who he is,� she said. “How could I ask for anything more than that?� That didn’t stop her from checking in with him. “Every time I was with him, I would say, ‘Are you all right?’� Jayne said. “He would say, ‘mmmhmmm.’� That wordless affirmation always came in a positive tone, she added. A child who loved the outdoors, Justin often told Jayne he couldn’t imagine spending all day, every day indoors. The Rockwell City walk park, which runs past their home, was his backyard, Jayne said. He was well-known at the Rockwell City pool, where he worked as a lifeguard for many years. Justin headed to Simpson College after high school, initially playing football while studying criminal justice. After his first year, Randy said,

Justin questioned whether he could give enough effort to his classes while playing sports, and eventually opted to give up football. His dedication to law enforcement caught the attention of high-ranking officers at the Urbandale Police Department, where he interned while in college. Justin intuitively knew what questions to ask and when to keep quiet, one officer told the Martins Nov. 3. Urbandale Chief Ross McCarty said he usually waits until applicants are a few years out of college before considering hiring them. But Justin had made a good impression. “We don’t look for perfect people,â€? he told the Martins when he visited with them Nov. 3, adding the department looks for people who have made and learned from mistakes. “He’s about as perfect a person as I’ve seen when we’re doing background (checks).â€? Justin lived up to that reputation. McCarty said he saw the future of the Urbandale police department in Justin. “I don’t think he’ll be replaceable,â€? the chief said. “Justin’s one of those gems who don’t come along. Maybe generational. ‌ He was everything you’re looking for in the modern police professional.â€? Shawn Schossow, a long-time friend of Justin’s, said he saw hints of the police officer Justin would become when they worked together as lifeguards at the pool. “He very deeply cared about the

people for whom he worked and blessed with his friendship,� he said. “He wanted to help people; this was the driving force behind his desire to be a police officer.� Schossow and Justin saw each other regularly, most recently just before Halloween. Schossow described Justin as kind-hearted and generous. “This is what I want the world to remember about him: his positive attitude, the way he treated people, and his joyful persona,� Schossow said. “He served as a role model for those in his work and anyone who knew him. He brought happiness and a feeling of trust to everyone who had the honor of knowing him.�

At a prayer vigil Nov. 3, clergy read from social media posts shared after Martin’s death. In one, a mother wrote about her young daughter’s encounter with Martin a few weeks ago. The woman’s daughter had been riding in a car driven by a friend’s mother when a drunk driver rearended them. The woman praised how Martin calmed the girls, staying with them after the drunk driver had been removed from the scene. “A very scary and potentially dangerous situation was handled quickly and professionally by a great community police officer,� the woman wrote.

Old Wounds from page 1 What helps, she said, is for people to be there with the grieving, to hold them and talk with them. Sterrett praised Iowa Concerns of Police Survivors, better known as Iowa COPS, which comes in to help families of fallen law enforcement officers.

“You gain a whole new family with law enforcement, on that you don’t understand, you don’t know until you’re there,� she said. “They get your pain. They feel your pain because they know that officer did give the ultimate sacrifice.�

Empty Nest By Curt Swarm Fiddl’n Granny I must say, a truck load of people showed up for our housewarming/ open house. We told the caterer to prepare enough food for 100 people, and at least that many people came. Ginnie set out eight dozen (96) paper plates, and they were all used up. That’s the best we can do for a count. We had a guest book for people to sign, but you know how that goes. Some do, some don’t, which put a real strain on Ginnie writing “Thank you’s.� The telephone book, Google and Church Directory only go so far when it comes to looking up addresses. Then there was the problem of figuring out who brought what. In the heat of “howdies� it’s hard to keep track. We’re still trying to figure out who brought the the pretty blue vase, and bottle of wine. If you know, please let us know so that we can send proper “thank you’s.� We hadn’t really intended for people to bring housewarming gifts, this was as much an open house as anything. But the gifts are appreciated. One couple’s gift was the chairs we used at the tables. I knew we didn’t have enough chairs. A lady at church told us to ask so-and-so, that he had plenty of chairs and would loan them out. I ask the guy, and he said, no, he didn’t loan out chairs, but as a housewarming gift he would pay to have rental chairs delivered. I was flabbergasted, but it was right nice of him, and it worked out perfect. Purt’n near everyone who needed a place to sit while eat’n were able to park it. People from our Presby Church in Mt. Pleasant came as well as Ginnie’s former Presby Church in Ottumwa. What tickled me immensely was that some of my Empty Nest readers came from far and wide. I had put an open invitation in my weekly column, and readers came!-even 92-year old Wilbur Swindler from Ottumwa. He got lost on the way, and wound up in Missouri, but eventually found us. Wilbur was particularly pleased to see Buddy, and Buddy him. A “Chris� from Fairfield, I think, brought a homemade pumpkin pie—delicious! She didn’t sign the guest book so we can’t send her a “thank you.� An interesting guest was a fella

WHAT’S HAPPENING

who happened to run out of gas right in front of our house. He walked up to the garage. Someone said, “Get in line,� and he did. After eating, he thanked me for the food and asked about gas. I showed him where the gas can was and told him to use what he needed, replace it and bring the can back. At the end of the day, I noticed the gas can was full and back in its place. People are really pretty honest, especially when you feed’m. Many people thanked us for having what they called, “An old-time get together,� and that, “People should do this more often.� As I explained, this is Ginnie’s and my version of a “blowout.� Get’n up there in years, we’ve become what you might call, “socially conservative.� I don’t drink anymore, and don’t even like to leave the house after dark. An allnight shindig is not our version of a good time. I could never stay awake,

anyway. So, a wingding like this on a Sunday afternoon is just about as wild as it gets for us. And having friends visit is God’s blessing. The only thing missing was a band. Some live country western or heavy metal would have been the cat’s meow. Maybe next year. However, a lady from Fairfield, Joanne Ancell, one of my readers, showed up with a fiddle. Yep. She’s known far and wide as “Fiddl’n Granny.� She says she likes to “play around.� After eating she commenced to entertain us with “Chinese Breakdown,� “You Are My Sunshine,� and “Golden Slippers.� Perfect.

He apologized to the Martins for not visiting the day of Martin’s death, explaining said he stayed in Urbandale while officers mounted the hunt for Greene. The department caught a lucky break the morning Martin was killed, McCarty said, because a witness woke up right after the shooting happened, noticed a man walking away from Martin’s patrol car, and then later noticed the police officer’s car had not moved. It was too late for the witness to render aid to Martin, McCarty said, because the young officer had already died.

The witness was able to describe the alleged shooter, McCarty said, and the Urbandale Police Department was familiar with the man. Greene has a history of confrontations with the department, McCarty said, most recently at an Urbandale football game in October. Greene recorded officers asking him to leave the football game, after he apparently brought a Confederate flag on to school property. School officials asked officers to remove Greene, because the flag is not permitted to be on school grounds. Greene turned himself in to an

Iowa Department of Natural Resources officer less than nine hours after the shooting. He was in a field south of Redfield, which is where Martin’s dad, Randy Martin, grew up. On Friday, Greene appeared in court for his initial appearance. A judge set his bond at $10 million, and scheduled a preliminary hearing for Nov. 14. McCarty called the killings a “very evil and unjustifiable act.�

Attorney: County needs inspector reports before making pipeline petition decision By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor The Calhoun County Board of Supervisors isn’t ready to file a petition with the Iowa Utilities Board, as requested by one family who owns and farms land in the county. But the board did instruct Calhoun County Attorney Tina Meth Farrington to collect the daily status reports and any violation reports from ISG, whose workers are inspecting the Dakota Access pipeline here. No one has yet filed such a petition with the IUB, Farrington told the supervisors, though Keokuk County supervisors did consider it in July and August, at the request of landowners there. “We have the burden of proof,� if the county files such a petition, she added, and it would be incumbent on the county to tell the IUB what corrective actions and remedies county officials would like to see, if the IUB agreed that Dakota Access was not following the agricultural mitigation plan. One problem, Farrington said, is that even the IUB’s own attorney

doesn’t know how quickly such a proceeding will take. “It’s an area that hasn’t been tested yet,� Farrington said. “There’s no timeline in the administrative code or Iowa Code. Even if you ask for an expedited process, it could take months.� Ken Anderson, whose family, working as Prendergast Enterprises, owns the land, said he just wants to see someone make Dakota Access’ contractors come on to the farmland near Somers and clean up garbage and construction debris. ISG’s inspector, and the supervisor for all of the inspectors following the pipeline work across the state, haven’t responded to Anderson’s complaints and requests, the farmer told the board. “He could have made them pick up those rocks before they were buried,� Anderson said, referring to rocks he said pipeline workers drove over, forcing the rocks deep into the subsoil. Dakota Access’ construction timeline said they would begin rough cleanup on Anderson’s land Oct. 30. Anderson said the subsoils have been smoothed back into place, but

the garbage and rocks remain, in violation of state law. “Part of the mitigation plan is, they’re supposed to pick up the debris and they haven’t,� he said. “I just want them to stop on my property until they get the rocks out.� The compaction is so bad, Anderson said, he doesn’t expect that a deep chisel will remove all of the rocks and garbage. He passed around photos showing rocks, wood, paint brushes and metal strips, all of which will end up working their way toward the surface and end up in his equipment or the equipment’s tires. Board of Supervisors Chairman Mike Cooper said he needed more information, including the daily status reports from the ISG inspector, which should document interactions between Dakota Access and the inspection workers. “I understand what you’re saying, stuff can get pushed in the ground,� Cooper said. “We have nothing that says that’s what happened.� Anderson said he would bring the supervisors proof of the buried debris. Anderson’s attorney has offered to write the petition for the board.

By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor On a stunningly beautiful morning, unexpectedly bright and sunny for early November, the Urbandale Police Department brought Officer Justin Martin home. More than a hundred people stood at attention Sunday morning on Main Street, soundlessly watching the arrival of dozens of police cars, which parked in silent tribute to the first Urbandale officer killed in the line of duty in the department’s history. But Martin, 24, a Rockwell City/ Lytton graduate, wasn’t the first police officer with ties to our small town who was killed, and Sunday’s processional echoed one on another fall day just three years ago. When Americans debate, we often mention the high cost freedom demands, all while knowing that most of us will never have to pay that price, let alone have close ties to someone who does. We know, in theory, the exacting price that the world demands in exchange for safety and security. Far too often, it seems, the payment comes in the form of taking one of the best and brightest among us. Any bright, successful, popular

and dedicated young man dying in his 20s is tragic. But Martin’s death goes beyond mere tragedy and becomes something much worse. He was targeted, not for something he did, but because of what he represented. His murder was a calculated assault on so many of the things we hold close in this country. I didn’t know Martin. But I do know his friends and family. I know the community that nurtured him, that provided his youth league coaches and that cheered him on when he took to the athletic fields. Rockwell City is full of the kind of people who would have put blue bulbs in their porch lights even if they didn’t know two police officers who had been killed in the line of duty. They are the people who have rallied around Jamie Buenting’s family every day since he was killed in 2013, and they’re the people who will support Martin’s family every day going forward. Sometimes, you worry that an outpouring of support is just for show; that people are going through the motions because others are watching. Or worse, you worry that people are being hypocritical, outwardly mourning while inwardly criticizing the person who died. But Rockwell City residents don’t just grieve all police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. The city,

year-round, overflows with respect for law enforcement and the challenges officers face. The people of Rockwell City will continue to hope for a day when angry people stop targeting police officers. Martin knew precisely the potential cost of pinning on that badge at the beginning of each shift. He knew Buenting personally, if not well. But he went to work each day, acknowledging both the burden of his calling and the blessing that he could be to the people he met each day. Martin’s most recent public Facebook post was from the anniversary of Buenting’s death. “I wasn’t as fortunate to know Jamie as well as some of my friends,� Martin wrote. “However, I was lucky enough to be able to be taught by him on how to use a handgun (skills I still carry today in my career), and hear about his passion for law enforcement in the community. Just those few hours with him made me more eager to become a police officer. Unfortunately this job doesn’t come without real danger, and an ultimate sacrifice was made three years ago. Calhoun County lost a man of many honorable titles, and a true guardian of the community. I’ll never forget that smile. Rest Easy.� The least we can do today is offer those sentiments back to him.

FROM THE TITANS’ DESK Health Occupations hosts blood drive

SCC S CC SENIOR

By Sydnie Schultz and Brendan Henkleman

Spotlight

On Oct. 27, the Health Occupations class, taught by Lorie Otto, put on a blood drive. The drive took place in the high school gymnasium with help from Lifeserve Blood Center. There is a lot of preparation that goes into putting on the blood drive. There are 13 students in the health occupations class. They start getting ready for the drive a week and a half before. They make signs for the school and businesses to promote their upcoming event. They also call people in the community to get them signed up to donate. On the day of

the blood drive, the students make snacks for the donors after they are done. The students lend an arm and bring water to the participants, as well. The community plays a big role in the blood drive. Businesses provide gift cards and snack items for door prizes and trivia rewards that high school students can win. Some of the participating businesses include Casey’s General Store, Subway, Lake City Drive In, Capri Theater, and Opportunity Living. Every year, the class makes a goal for units of blood donated. “The student body is great at helping us meet our goal,� Otto says. The goal this year was 74 units of blood, and they received 83 units, enough blood to save up to 249 lives.

Teacher Spotlight: Mrs. Davis By: Cody Schumacher Mrs. Amy Davis has been teaching for nineteen years total. She has gone back and forth from teaching and home schooling her own children, but once they both graduated, she is teaching for good now. Mrs. Davis’ favorite topic to teach is biology, and her inspiration is the students. When asked if she always wanted to teach, she responded enthusiastically, “Yes!� Mrs. Davis said, “student success is most memorable to me, whether it is academic, art, athletic, music, speech, or vocational.� She says her first year was hard, and it was the most time consum-

ing. When asked if 10 years ago she thought she would be here now, she said she hoped so, as that was always her goal. She says the best things from students is them being excited about learning or being excited about class. If she was not a teacher, she would want to be a doctor. Her advice for students and new teachers is to do your best at not only being a student or teaching, but to do your best in life. Mrs. Davis has always been one of my favorite teachers. She’s energetic and eager to teach. She is a great role model for other students and me. Mrs. Davis has been a great influence in my life, and I wanted to say thank you from not only me, but everyone that you have ever taught.

City’s true colors shine after tragedy

Jordan Ludwig By Brendan Henkleman After high school, Jordan Ludwig plans to attend college. Some of her favorite memories from high school are the always entertaining skit nights. She is very involved in cross country, vocal, band, speech, dance team, track, and volleyball. One thing she will miss is seeing all of her friends. She looks forward to a new environment and new friends while in college. In 10 years, she envisions herself with a job, house, spouse, children and pugs. If Jordan could have dinner with any three people she would choose Johnny Knoxville, Bo Burnam, and Al Gore. Jordan’s favorite movie is “Fight Club,� and her favorite song is

“Blonde Hair Black Lungs.� Jordan is very inspired by people. Some of Jordan’s favorite pastimes are drawing, writing, and making music. Jordan’s advice to under classmen is to take as many college courses as possible.

Ryan Brown By Caleb Reiss Ryan M. Brown, son of Rich and Michelle Brown, plans on attending the University of Iowa. His activities include being senior class treasurer, participating in academic decathlon and FFA, and being yearbook editor. In 10 years, he sees himself becoming a doctor and traveling. His advice to underclassmen would be, “always try new things because you never know what you’ll like.� People that he will miss the most are his friends because of the great conversations that they had. The

things he’s looking forward to most are big city life and being well educated.

My thought for the day is: If something comes with gravy use it. That’s the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat. The trivia question for the week is: Where is the home of Well’s Dairy? Best known for Blue Bunny products. What a great turn out for the Halloween Party at the Community Building in Lohrville. Approximately 100 children and adults attended. The door price was won by Malachai Heartman. At the parade of costumes, Case Kraft came as the Green Skeleton, Ehulec Green as the Princess Witch and Anastasia Hobbs as Bat Girl, each won a prize. Others that may have won came an hour after the prizes were won. The Friends of the Library and the Lions Club sponsored the event. Those helping were: Carol Hardy, Allison Kinney, Joan Nepple, Mariah Hardy, JoAnn Alspach, Ann Gembering, Shiela Berger, Carol Hood, Bette Knapp, Marge Hobart, Pam Haberl, Lucinda Smith, Frankie Olesen, Kristi Vogel, Morgan Vogel, Kris Kavanaugh, Jane Beschorner and Audrey Hood. A big thank you goes out to all those who attended and helped. It was a lot of fun. Kristi Vogel (volunteer) won a $20 gift card from United Bank of

Iowa. On Monday Unit #510 met at the Legion Hall in Farnhamville for their October meeting. Eight members pledged allegiance to the American Flag led by Unit President, Cee Winklebaur, who also welcomed everyone. The Legion Soup Supper plans were firmed up. It will be held on November 11th at 5:00 pm at which time the winner of the quilt raffle will be announced. Eula Mae Wilson, their Gold Star Mother, thanked the group for the flowers she was given. Dues were accepted. The Unit will put up the Christmas tree in the Bank on November 28th. The tree will be decorated with pictures of Veterans. Their next meeting will be in April or May 2017. Our birthday best wishes go out to: Mike Burger on the 11th, Teresa Knapp on the 13th and Bryon Kirby on the 14th. Hope you all had a good one. A reminder of the Craft and Vendor Show on November 12th at the Lohrville Community Building. There should be something for everyone. The answer to the trivia question is: Le Mars, Iowa. But I’m sure you all guessed that one. So until next week, have a good one.

SUNNY KNOLL It is with a heavy heart that we said goodbye to a special lady this week. Our thought and prayers are with the family of Lois Hoyt. We are all saddened to hear about the passing of Officer Justin Martin. Our condolences and prayers are with his family and those who knew and loved him. We had a spooktacular Halloween this year! We had staff and residents dress up for the day. Jim and Sandy VanScoy had brought it masks and costumes for our residents. We had staff dressed like cowboys, Bernie Sanders, and a chef. We also had a couple four legged friends come in with costumes. I had brought my dachshund dressed up like a hot dog to go with my chef’s costume. He waddled around in bun costume all day; giving everyone quite a laugh. We had Cupcake dressed up in her Halloween dress and Layla come as a cowgirl dog. Monday afternoon we had a perfect wicked Halloween party. The staff competed in a mummy race while the residents enjoyed cookies made by Bonnie Debolt. Thank you to Bonnie for thinking of us. We had 3 teams of 2. Each team had a full roll of toilet paper that they had to wrap around

their partner from head to toe! We cheered them on from the side lines and they did pretty good job, nobody fell over, or got too dizzy. A big thank you to the staff who participated! Next we gathered in a big circle to play a few rounds of pass the pumpkin. Pass the pumpkin is like the old game hot potato. If you get caught with the pumpkin when the music stops, then you’re out of the round. I have to tell you we have played many versions of this game once with a corn cob, and coconut. Every time we play I have to remind everyone to not throw it, because they get wild! Nobody wants to get caught with the pumpkin when the music stops! It is so fun to watch and participate in. I would like to thank the South Central Calhoun 4th Grade for coming and brining treats to us. We enjoyed them and meeting you! A big thank you to the parents for bringing in their trick-or-treaters in. We love to see the little ones in their costumes. We are busy planning for a tea party in November and of course Christmas is just around the corner! Stop in and see us, we would love to see you. Jennifer Roberts-Activity Director

SUNNYVIEW Wonder Woman visited the Sunnyview dining room for the dinner hour on Halloween. She was bright and energetic and looked a lot like Jana of the kitchen staff. As it turns out, Jana’s Wonder Woman cape and red shirt originated at the Congenital Heart Disease Awareness “superhero heart run� a few weeks ago at Werner Park in Omaha. It sounds like they had fun. Jana’s grandson Landon, age 6, has this heart condition and Jana likes to help -- she participated in the run. Each child with CHD (including Landon) took a “victory lap� when his/her name was announced. Beside the run area, tents were set up with games, free food, and lots of give-aways (this is where Jana got her shiny gold superhero cape). For more info about the CHD foundation, see www.superheroheartrun. com. Meanwhile, Landon is looking forward to a Make-a-Wish Foundation trip. This will be a Disney cruise to “Island Cast-Away Cay� in February on his birthday, accompanied by his mom and brother, all of Council Bluffs. We wish for all the best for Landon. Our hearts are with the families of Officer Justin Martin and Sgt. Anthony Beminio, who were killed in the line of duty in the Des Moines area on Nov. 2. It is hard to believe. Officer Martin is one of us, and a lot of us know the family. We salute you, Officer Martin. We remember what it is like when a friend who is a police

officer is killed in the line of duty. We remember what it is like to lose a friend who is a fire fighter. We honor all the law enforcement officers, fire fighters, and other first responders. Lord help them, and Lord help us, and Lord help the families. A reminder: the Veteran’s Day Program at the SCC Middle School Gym is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11. Thank you to Stella and Roger Hepp who brought a box of pears on Thursday, Oct. 27 to the Sunnyview dining room. From what we could tell, those pears were huge -the largest that some of us had ever seen. It’s hard to imagine such large pears on a tree – it would seem that the boughs would break! Have you seen the dancing leaves? A friend used to tell us how the autumn leaves blowing around on the ground (especially on concrete) looked like they were having a dance. How about some chocolate lasagna? It includes ingredients such as Oreo cookies, butter, cream cheese, sugar, Cool Whip, instant chocolate pudding and mini chocolate chips. This was the dessert on Nov. 3 in the Sunnyview dining room, and it looked like it was well-received. (Say, was there someone licking out that “empty� pan?) Remember, our website is www. Sunnyviewil.com and the coffee is always on.

SHADY OAKS The Kaleidoscope Factory Residents enjoyed a trip to Pocahontas to the Kaleidoscope Factory. They had the opportunity to watch owner Leonard Olson mold a chunk of wood into an egg shaped kaleidoscope on his lathe. While piecing together important components of the kaleidoscope, Leonard explained how the mirrors and lenses work inside to create the beautiful images

everyone anticipates. With questions asked and stories told, residents enjoyed viewing Leonard’s wide collection of kaleidoscopes which included vintage ones and many others he had made. A quick trip across the street to Pizza Ranch for pizza and chicken, followed by a little bus tour concluded this fun trip to Pocahontas!

November 1946 70 Years Ago

Before burning soybean straw after combining, it’s a good idea to consider whether you can afford to take the loss. County Extension Director L. A. Parker says leaving bean straw on the land has two main values. It’s important for plant food and organic matter contained, and it serves to reduce soil erosion. Also nitrogen is the main plant food lost by burning. Dr. Glenn S. Rost of the McCraryRost hospital, was recently notified that he had been rated as a Diplomat of the American Board of Surgery. It

Museum board holds final meeting The Calhoun County Museum Board met Oct. 18 at the museum for the last meeting of 2016. This was a special meeting to explain the new bylaws that the board updated. Toni Kerns sent a letter to all the lifetime museum members, so they could read the bylaws and approve them; only three lifetime members were present. The bylaws were read, discussed and passed. During the regular meeting, the minutes and treasurer’s report were read and approved. We have moved the log cabin to the front of the museum, where the Boys Scouts are

working on it. This log cabin has a very interesting history, which we will have written up and will display for all to read. Since having our museum’s website online, we have had calls from out-of-state people wanting to come, so it has helped draw attention to the museum. The website is calhouncountyiowamuseum.org. Go there to see updates. The museum board would like to thank the people who have toured this season. We hope to have new things for activities next year.

LIHEAP applications available customers pay heating bills this winter

Winter is quickly approaching, so MidAmerican Energy Company wants to remind customers that applications for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) are being accepted now in Iowa for the elderly and disabled. All other qualified individuals can begin applying Nov. 1. LIHEAP is a federally funded energy assistance program designed to help low-income families who are having trouble paying their heating bills. Last year, approximately 90,000 households in Iowa received benefits from LIHEAP. The average payment was $445 per household. “During the bitter, cold days of winter, LIHEAP helps to keep the heat on for those in our community who need it most,” said Terry Ousley, vice president of customer satisfaction for MidAmerican Energy. “The reality is, when temperatures drop, energy consumption rises and in turn, bills go up. This results in difficult decisions for some, such as choosing between staying warm and buying groceries. We encourage all customers who think they may have challenges paying their bills this winter to apply for LIHEAP or call us to learn about our different payment options.” LIHEAP funds are received in the form of a grant from the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Community action agencies throughout each state process applications and administer the funds. Grants are determined based on household income, household size, type of primary heating fuel, type of housing, and other factors that assure households with the greatest need will receive the highest level of assistance. To be eligible, the total household income for an applicant must be at or below 175 percent of the 2015 federal poverty guidelines. For example, a singleperson household can qualify with an annual gross income of $20,790 and a family of four can qualify with an annual gross income of $42,525. Customers are encouraged to sign up early for LIHEAP to ensure they receive the assistance they need. LIHEAP application forms are available at any community action

agency. For more information watch a video on LIHEAP or visit: https:// humanrights.iowa.gov/dcaa/liheap. Don’t qualify for LIHEAP? MidAmerican Energy customers who are not eligible for LIHEAP but are having difficulties managing their energy bills should call MidAmerican Energy at 888-4275632 to discuss the company’s many payment and billing options, including Budget Billing. Budget Billing spreads your annual energy costs out evenly throughout the year, so you pay the same amount each month. While Budget Billing is not a discount program and offers no savings or lower rates, you do get the convenience of a consistent, predictable bill. Want to help someone stay warm this winter? Customers who want to help those in need stay warm this winter should consider donating to MidAmerican Energy’s I CARE program. I CARE raises funds for local community action agencies to assist customers who qualify for LIHEAP. I CARE funds come from customer donations, with a 25 percent match from MidAmerican Energy. Every dollar given goes directly toward providing assistance to those in need; money is not used by the company. Donations are tax-deductible and stay within the benefactor’s community. Giving to I CARE is as simple as adding a dollar amount to your monthly MidAmerican Energy bill and noting on the bill stub or online that the overpayment should be applied to I CARE. Customers can also contribute by filling out an online pledge form and making a one-time or recurring donation. In addition to I CARE, individuals looking to support a family member, friend or neighbor in need can make a phone payment to be applied directly to that customer’s account by calling MidAmerican Energy at 888-427-5632. Payments can be made anonymously, or MidAmerican Energy can send the recipient a gift receipt. There is no charge to either the giver or receiver for this service.

Income has grown in rural Iowa by nearly 10 percent over the last decade

Boy Scout Troop 94 member Colin Johnson is restoring this early 1900s cabin for the Calhoun County Museum. The restoration project is his Eagle Scout project. GRAPHIC-ADVOCATE PHOTO/ERIN SOMMERS

Johnson spearheads cabin restoration for Eagle Scout project By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Area Boy Scouts converged on the Calhoun County Museum lawn Oct. 30, armed with saws, hammers and other tools. The scouts, members of Rockwell City based Troop 94, were helping one of their own, Colin Johnson, with his Eagle Scout project.

“It’s an early 1900s cabin that we got from Lake City, by the rodeo grounds,” Johnson said, explaining the project while he placed new shingles on its roof. “The museum asked if I would work on it.” First, Johnson and the scouts poured a small, concrete pad, on which the cabin now sits. Located in front of the museum, between the main doors and High Street, the cabin is easily visible to passersby.

Next, the scouts tore off the inside walls. Within those walls, Johnson said they found a squirrel, nuts, a Converse tennis show and a 1950s or 1960s license plate. The first music teacher in Lake City once lived in the cabin, Johnson said. He said he had a hard time imagining someone living in the small structure. “That would have been a little cramped,” he said. “It would have

been a little cozy.” The building is surprisingly sturdy for its age, he added, but taking on the project has been a little nervewracking, Johnson said. Once the new roof is in place, the scouts will put cement board on the inside walls, install a new window and a new door. Eventually, the museum will erect signs, inside and out, to talk about the building’s history and significance.

Lutheran Family Services adds staff member to expand mental health services Lutheran Family Ser vice announced last week the addition of a staff member at their Fort Dodge location. Daun Keefe, a licensed Independent Social Worker, comes to Lutheran Family Service with more

than 20 years of experience serving others. Keefe has availability Monday through Friday and works with adolescents, adults, and couples. Keef has experience working with veterans, those with dementia, and most recently as a therapist at Rabin-

er working with adolescent males. “Little did I know what joy and satisfaction would come working with boys from trauma backgrounds,” Keefe said. “I am convinced there are no ‘bad’ kids. Instead, there are plenty of families who need help

raising children.” Lutheran Family Service has been serving families in Iowa for 115 years. Potential clients need not be Lutheran, or Christian to use the organization’s services. For more information, call 515-573-3138.

The United States Census Bureau released its report on income and poverty in urban and rural America in September. While the report focused on nationwide trends, Iowa State University associate professor and extension rural sociologist David Peters was more interested in how rural Iowans had been affected over the last decade. “The results were a bit surprising,” Peters said. “Despite recent concerns of a decline in rural Iowa’s income, this proved not to be the case. Over the last decade rural households are doing well and, in fact, are doing better than urban Iowans and better than other rural areas in this country. The statistics certainly fly counter to the narrative that you can’t make a living in rural Iowa.” The 2015 median household income in rural Iowa was $60,223, almost 11 percent higher than urban incomes ($51,705). Rural Iowans also have become wealthier than rural residents in other states. After being on par with national rural averages prior to 2012, incomes of rural Iowans were about 10 percent higher than those living outside the state. “I would have suspected rural incomes to go up and down mirroring market trends,” Peters said. “When commodity prices were high we didn’t see a huge jump in income and didn’t see a corresponding decline as prices have gone down.” Peters attributes that steadiness to a decoupling of farm and rural economies. Many rural residents are able to easily commute to larger cities for jobs, meaning that for many residents income is consistent even when farm commodity prices decline.

“Unlike states like Nebraska or the Dakotas, Iowa has a number of fairly good sized cities spread out throughout the state,” Peters said. “Most rural Iowans can reach one of these cities after driving for only 25-30 minutes. People who choose to live in small towns can still easily be engaged in a meaningful career in larger cities.” Incomes in rural Iowa have also grown faster than those in urban parts of the state. Since 2005, the median income of rural Iowans has grown by 9.6 percent while urban Iowans have seen their income grow by just 3.7 percent. Iowa ranks 21st nationally in rural median income, with its rural income growth of nearly 10 percent over the last decade the sixthhighest growth rate in the country. Conversely, Iowa has the 30th highest urban income average and its 3.7 percent growth is 26th-best. “Iowa needs to focus on professional service jobs,” Peters said. “High-end technology and service jobs are wonderful to target and Iowa should continue to pursue those type of jobs. However the state has to pay attention to middle skill jobs because they provide good incomes and are more stable through periods of recession. There must be a focus on good high school and technical degree granting jobs; you can make a good living in rural Iowa and those industries are thriving.” Detailed information on income trends in both rural and urban Iowa can be found in Peters’ publication, “Household Income Trends in Iowa and the U.S, 2005-2015: Rural versus Urban Differences.”

trending lower will quickly convert to nitrate. While ammonium will mostly stay attached to the soil, nitrate will flow with water. “If we get more rain than the soil can absorb this fall or next spring, the nitrate is at risk to leach into groundwater, tile water, and streams,� says Eric Hurley, nutrient management specialist with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service in Des Moines. Since most of the nitrogen in liquid swine manure is in the ammonium form, it should also be applied when the soil temperature is cold and the soil microorganisms which convert ammonium to nitrate are relatively inactive, says Hurley. Nitrogen losses can also impact crop development, says Barb Stew-

In recognition of National Diabetes Month, the St. Anthony Chronic Care Center will host Detox Your Kitchen from 5 to 6 p.m. Nov. 14. This free community education program will benefit anyone interested in organizing their kitchen in order to make healthy meal choices, promote weight loss and build a support network. Certified Diabetic Educator Deb Dieter and guest speaker Gloria Ahrendsen will lead the event on the fourth f loor of the surgery center. “Most of us spend our lives in a hurry. When we’re on the run, it’s easy to overlook our eating habits and opt for meal options that are convenient rather than healthy,� Dieter said. “In this program, we will focus on ways to minimize the effort of eating healthy, find ways to make healthy foods more enticing and make it easier to put a nutritious meal on the table.� The program features 12 steps to detoxing your kitchen, including preparation, likeness, accessibility, containment and evaluation. Facilitators will also share insight on how to be successful in healthy meal selection, decluttering kitchen space,

who to eat meals with, organization and portion sizes. “We will encourage participants, just as we do our patients, that they should not expect perfection,� Dieter said. “This is an opportunity to continue your education and look for ways to build health habits along the way.� Dieter developed a personal interest in helping others with diabetes following her own diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes 40 years ago. She is passionate about diabetes education and positively impacting outcomes. She believes continued education gives those living with diabetes the power to control the chronic health condition. Ahrendsen has a passion for growing, cooking and promoting healthy foods. She loves to improve recipes to boost nutrition. She has also written a children’s book to encourage kids of all ages to eat vegetables and try their hand at gardening. The presentation is open to the public and free to attend.

Influenza activity in Iowa is currently very low; however, Iowa’s influenza season typically starts in November and peaks in January or February, so it can begin any time. The Iowa Department of Public Health urges Iowans to get their annual flu vaccination now if they have not already done so. “Since it takes up to two weeks after vaccination for the body to develop full protection against the flu virus, being vaccinated now means you’ll be protected before the f lu starts spreading and for the rest of the flu season,� said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. Nationally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports out of the 150 flu viruses collected by U.S. laboratories, 92 percent were shown to match one of the four strains included in this year’s seasonal influenza vaccine. “What that means for Iowans is that if you get a f lu shot this year, you’ll be protected from almost all of the flu strains going around this season,� said Quinlisk. Basically, every Iowan over 6 months of age should receive the flu vaccine. It’s especially important for some people to be vaccinated against influenza because they are at higher risk of developing serious complications, like pneumonia, if they get sick with the flu. These groups in-

clude: Pregnant women (by getting vaccinated when pregnant, the woman not only protects herself during this vulnerable time, but she will pass on protection to her newborn who is too young to receive a vaccine.) Children, especially those younger than 2 years of age Older adults, especially those aged 65 years and over People who have certain medical conditions like asthma, diabetes and chronic lung disease The f lu is a respiratory illness caused by viruses. Illness typically lasts two to seven days. The f lu comes on suddenly and may cause severe illness or even death, even in healthy individuals. The stomach bug, which causes diarrhea and vomiting, is not caused by the influenza virus but usually by a different virus called norovirus; thus, the flu vaccine will not protect you against this illness. What will the upcoming flu season be like? No one can predict that, but one thing is certain: your best defense against getting the flu is an annual vaccination. In addition, by getting vaccinated, you will prevent spreading the f lu to those around you. For more information about Iowa influenza tracking and monitoring, visit idph.iowa.gov/influenza/reports.

Veterans Day events scheduled at SCC Middle School The SCC Middle School will be holding their annual Veterans Day Program at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 11 in the Middle School Gymnasium in Rockwell City. Color Guards from Lake City, Lytton and Rockwell City will be participating. The program will be a tribute in word, song and vision to honor the veterans in our communities and will be followed by a short reception in the lunch room. Veterans are asked to arrive between 1:10 p.m. and 1:25 p.m. to register and be seated. They will be asked to stand or be recognized when their names are read during the Roll Call. Any and all veterans, as well as the general public are invited to attend this program. Capt. Kevin M. Beasley will be the featured guest speaker. Beasley began his military career July 2003 at Fort Benning, Ga.. After completing Infantry Basic Training, Beasley served in the 2nd Battalion, 54th Infantry Regiment and the Infantry Training Brigade as a light infantryman. In 2005, Beasley accepted a commission as a Second Lieutenant of Armor from the United States Army Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning. As a Second Lieutenant, Beasley deployed to the Republic of Korea and served as a Platoon Leader and Executive Officer in 4th Squadron, 7th US Cavalry, stationed at Camp Hovey, South Korea. Upon his return to the United States, Beasley deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Afghanistan. While there, Beasley led a specialized team of Counter-IED personnel in one of the most active regions of Afghanistan at Camp Wright, Kunar Provence. After more than 15 months, 100 missions, and multiple actions of direct combat, Beasley was awarded the Bronze Star for exemplary performance and service.

After leaving Afghanistan in 2008, Beasley attended the Maneuver Captains’ Career Course at Fort Benning and was assigned to the 3d Cavalry Regiment at Fort Hood, Texas. Beasley arrived at Fort Hood in May 2010 and deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn, Iraq, in August 2010. Serving 13 months at Camp Delta, Wasit Provence, Iraq, Beasley served as the Assistant Operations Officer of 2nd Squadron, 3d Cavalry Regiment, and as the Chief of Operations, 3d Cavalry Regiment, Camp Kalsu, Iraq, Beasley helped plan and direct the final withdraw of forces from the eastern provinces of Iraq and was once again awarded the Bronze Star for exemplary performance and service to the United States Army. After leaving Iraq, Beasley returned to Fort Hood, and served as the commander of Dragon Troop, 2nd Squadron, 3d Cavalry Regiment, and Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 2 nd Squadron, 3d Cavalry Regiment. In 2014, Beasley once again deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom as the Operations Officer for the 3d Calvary’s Regimental Support Squadron. Beasley’s awards and decorations include the Bronze Star (second award), the Army Commendation Medal (second award), the Joint Service Achievement Medal, the Army Achievement Medal (second award), the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, the Afghan Campaign Ribbon (with two stars), the Iraqi Service Ribbon (with two stars), the NATO Medal, the Overseas Ribbon (5th Award), the parachutist badge, and the Combat Action Badge.

ISU Extension and Outreach publication provides tips for planting and caring for trees Trees serve many purposes within a community. They beautify the community, accenting streets with spring flowers and vibrant autumnal leaf colors, and help create tranquil public spaces. They also improve air quality, provide wildlife habitat and reduce energy consumption during the summer and winter. Keeping trees healthy requires diligence, both before and after they have been planted. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach has revised a publication that provides current recommendations for tree selection, planting and post-planting care. The publication “Community Tree Planting and Care Guide� (HORT 3054) was created and revised by Jeff Iles, professor and extension specialist in horticulture at Iowa State, and is available through the Extension Store. “When planting trees, especially if you are watching over volunteers, it is good to have everyone on the same page,� Iles said. “This publication does its best to show the right way to plant a tree. This is a publication that can be taken to the planting site and used to help avoid pitfalls. Planting a tree is a huge investment and you want to do it right from the beginning so the tree will have a long life and pay dividends for years to come.� Careful planning must take place before planting any tree. Trees must be able to comfortably grow into their intended location and not pose difficulties with pedestrian traffic or a city’s infrastructure. “Not every site is appropriate for

Yard and Garden: Handling and maintaining houseplants during winter Houseplants provide much-needed beauty and color to a home during winter’s cold blast, but they do require some special care to keep them vibrant during freezing temperatures, even inside. What are optimal suggestions for houseplants in winter? Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help answer your questions about houseplants and how to handle them during the winter. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu. How often should houseplants be watered in winter? In general, houseplants require less frequent watering during the winter months than in spring and summer. Watering frequency depends upon the plant species, composition of the potting mix, environmental conditions (temperature, light and humidity), and other factors. When watering houseplants, continue to apply

water until water begins to flow out the bottoms of the pots. Discard the excess water. Should houseplants be fertilized in winter? Fertilization is generally not necessary during the winter months as most houseplants are not growing during this time. Indoor gardeners should fertilize their houseplants on a regular basis in spring and summer when plants are actively growing. What are suitable temperatures for houseplants in winter? Most houseplants prefer daytime temperatures of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit and nighttime temperatures of 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or rapid temperature fluctuations may harm some plants. Keep houseplants away from cold drafts, radiators and hot air vents. Also make sure houseplants don’t touch cold windows. How can I raise the relative humidity indoors for my houseplants dur-

ing the winter months? Many houseplants prefer a relative humidity of 40 to 50 percent. Unfortunately, the humidity level in many homes during the winter months may be only 10 to 20 percent. Humidifiers are an excellent way to increase the relative humidity in the home. Simple cultural practices also can increase the relative humidity around houseplants. Grouping plants together is an easy way to raise the humidity level. The water evaporating from the potting soil, plus water lost through the plant foliage, will increase the relative humidity in the vicinity of the houseplants. Another method is to place houseplants on trays (saucers) filled with pea gravel or pebbles. Add water to the trays, but keep the bottoms of the pots above the water level. The evaporation of water from the trays increases the relative humidity around the plants.

planting a tree,� said Iles. “It is critical to plant trees in a place where they can thrive and do well without causing problems above or below the ground. You especially don’t want a tree to become a problem for the city or town to deal with down the road. It is important to match the tree to the site and to strive for species and age diversity when planning the community forest.� The publication provides useful information on what to look for when purchasing a tree from a nursery or garden center. Trees should be checked for size, form, vigor and appearance before being purchased. Care also must be taken during planting to ensure the tree’s success. “The biggest key to a successful planting is getting the tree into the ground at the appropriate depth and creating a quality planting site,� Iles said. “The hole the tree is planted into needs to be dug to the correct depth and width for the tree to grow and thrive. The overall goal is to create a planting site that promotes vigorous root growth because nothing good happens unless the roots are happy. There is much more to planting a tree than simply digging a hole.� Check with the local government before planting to ensure compliance with any local restrictions and with any appropriate utility companies to determine the location of any buried power lines or other utilities.

Registration opens for college scholarship program Registration is open for a scholarship that offers 30 Iowa high school seniors a chance to receive $2,000 for college while learning important financial literacy skills. In addition, each recipient’s high school will receive a corresponding $500 award. High school seniors may register for the Iowa Financial Know-How Challenge: Senior Scholarship at w w w.IowaSt udentLoan.org/SeniorScholarship between now and Feb. 17. Iowa Student Loan will award $2,000 scholarships to 30 students who complete two online financial literacy tutorials and score highest on a related assessment. Registered students also receive emails highlighting financial literacy tips, such as the importance of early career and college planning and ways to reduce student loan indebtedness. After registering for the scholarship, students receive emailed instructions for completing the three required online components. The two tutorials — Student Loan Game Plans and the ROCI Reality Check

— were developed by Iowa Student Loan to help students understand the consequences of college borrowing and discover how to maximize their return on college investment, or ROCI. A related multiple-choice assessment will check students’ understanding of the concepts in the tutorials. The 30 high school seniors who score highest on the assessment test will each receive a $2,000 scholarship that will be sent directly to their colleges in fall 2017. If topscoring students tie, those students will be asked to write and be judged on a short essay so winners can be determined. Each scholarship recipient’s high school will also receive a corresponding $500 award to be used toward scholarship and financial literacy programs. “Besides financially benefitting the scholarship recipients and their high schools, for students who use the tools, this program helps prepare them to pay for college,� said Steve

McCullough, CEO and president of Iowa Student Loan. “As a student loan company, we often hear from borrowers who say they didn’t understand how their debt would affect them later. This is one way we educate students before they ever take out their first student loan.� Chris Hensley, Iowa Student Loan board chair, concurs. “The suite of tools students experience through the scholarship process is really designed to help them understand how to borrow less and to make wise student loan decisions based on expected starting salaries for their intended college majors. The Iowa Financial Know-How Challenge: Senior Scholarship is open to legal U.S. citizens who are permanent residents of Iowa; are seniors at an Iowa high school during the 2016–2017 school year; and attend college in fall 2017. It is a no-purchase-required program, and full rules and details are available at www.IowaStudentLoan.org/SeniorScholarship.

We Salute OurVETERANS I was that which others did not want to be, I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, And reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness.... should I fail. I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging of cold fear And enjoyed the sweetest taste of a moment of love. I have cried, pained and hoped, but most of all, I have lived times others would say went best forgotten. At least someday I will be able to say I was proud of what I was A Soldier By George L Skypeck Vietnam Veteran
