Law enforcement officers from Iowa and across the country attended Urbandale Police Officer Justin Martin’s funeral service Tuesday at South Central Calhoun Middle School. GRAPHIC-ADVOCATE PHOTO/ ERIN SOMMERS

‘We were not prepared to have Justin’s life stolen from us’ • Rockwell City’s Martin laid to rest By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor One by one, Urbandale Police Department officers approached Randy Martin Tuesday afternoon at Rosehill Cemetery. Each officer gripped Martin’s hand, the emotions on their faces offering nearly silent condolences for the death of Martin’s oldest son, Justin. One young officer came to Martin with arms wide open, and the two embraced, heads bowed, eyes filled with tears. Officer Brady Farrington grew up in Rockwell City with Farrington – they joined Boy Scouts together, earned their Eagle Scout honors together, graduated from Rockwell City/Lytton High School together in 2011 and, last year, were both hired by the Urbandale Police Department. Justin Martin wanted justice for everyone, Farrington, told the thousands of mourners who attended Martin’s funeral Tuesday in Rockwell City. And Martin never hesitated to answer the call when dispatched during his brief tenure with the Urbandale Department. “Justin Martin wanted to be a part

of something bigger than himself,” Farrington said during a moving tribute. “Justin dedicated his entire life to bettering his community.” Martin had walked the halls of the school that hosted his funeral. His father, Randy, was his high school principal there. No matter the situation, Martin had a knack for “putting on the right hat” for the moment, Farrington said. The morning Martin was shot and killed in Urbandale, Des Moines Police Sgt. Tony Beminio was also ambushed and killed. Farrington said to honor the fallen officers, “We must continue to do what Justin and Tony started, to make the world a better place, one person at a time.” Farrington thanked Martin’s parents for raising a hero, and Rockwell City for being the kind of town that nurtures young people, encouraging them to enter public service. Urbandale Police Chief Ross McCarty, too, thanked Rockwell City for its sacrifice. He praised Martin, whom the department decided to hire right out of college – an unusual decision. “He was a man of integrity,” McCarty said, his voice breaking with emotion. “We were not prepared to have Justin’s life stolen from us.” McCarty said while people consider all law enforcement officers a broad kind of family, those working in law enforcement don’t always see eye to eye on all issues. When an of-

ficer is killed, though, those differences are set aside. “When an outsider decides to pick on our sister or brother, we’ll pick up that fight for them,” McCarty said. The gym, which seats about 1,600 people, was full, as was the middle school cafeteria. More funeral attendees were seated in the auditorium, and as many as 300 police officers stood at attention outside of the school. Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds attended the ceremony, sitting near the back of the gymnasium. Martin was buried at Rosehill Cemetery. A riderless horse, a common symbol during military and police funerals, walked through the cemetery before Martin’s casket was carried, by a police honor guard, to his burial site. Family members released doves, another frequently seen symbolic gesture at such events. During the service at South Central Calhoun Middle School, Brian Lantz performed one of his original tunes, listing Martin’s positive attributes, and drawing a chuckle with a reference to a tattoo Martin had on his heart. Rev. Anita Bane, talking about Martin’s strong faith, offered encouragement to the attendees. “Somehow, the sun still rises,” Bane said. “People all across the world are standing with you and praying with you today.”

Beasley: Honor veterans through service By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Americans don’t need to don a military uniform to perform selfless service, U.S. Army Capt. Kevin Beasley told veterans and community members Friday at South Central Calhoun Middle School. “The best way to thank (veterans) is to wake up and ask, ‘How do I make my community better than it was yesterday?” Beasley said during the annual Veterans Day program at the school. “There is no better thank you to our hallowed dead and our veterans. Let our actions today and every day honor them, their family and our great nation.” As he looked around the gym, full of veterans of many ages, and middle school students who had prepared a program to honor those veterans, Beasley said his generation is picking up the mantle of community leadership from veterans who are retiring from those positions. And the community should look to the future, when the students in the gym are ready to take on leadership roles. Beasley encouraged the young people in the room to proudly pick up that mantle. A native of southeastern Kansas, Beasley entered the Army in 2003. He served multiple tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. He ended his service in February and now lives in Abilene, Kan. His father, grandfather and great-grandfather all served in the military. One of his best friends, Capt. David Van Camp of West Virginia, was killed in Iraq in June 2011. “He believed in the honor and the integrity of the American people,” Beasley said.

Quoting Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Beasley said servicemen and servicewomen “pray for nothing but peace.” Principal Marc DeMoss started the ceremony with a moment of silence for Urbandale Police Officer Justin Martin and Des Moines Police Sgt. Tony Beminio. The goal of Friday’s

program, DeMoss said, was to honor the community’s veterans. “Freedoms and democracy come with a price,” DeMoss said. “These (veterans), along with their families, had to make great sacrifices to do their duty … so that we may live in a country filled with opportunities for all.”

Republican candidate for auditor Robin Batz bested opponent Karen Norine for the second time this year, this time securing the spot to replace retiring auditor Judy Howrey, according to unofficial results posted online by the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office. Batz secured 2,738 votes in the countywide election, while Norine receive 2,039. Howrey, who has worked for Calhoun County for four decades, had endorsed Norine as her preferred replacement. In the District 3 race to replace retiring Supervisor Gary Nicholson of Rockwell City, Republican Carl Legore emerged the winner with 838 votes to Democrat David Hiler’s 590. Independent candidate Richard Finley received 311 votes.

“I’m just honored to be able to serve,” Legore said Friday. The top concerns he hears from Calhoun County residents are worries about the Des Moines Water Works lawsuit, issues relating to the Dakota Access pipeline and comments about hog confinements. On the latter, Legore said, he hears people speaking out for and against permitting confinements under the existing rules. “One thing people have got to realize, this is an agricultural county,” Legore said. Several officials were uncontested in their re-election bids. Sheriff Bill Davis, a Democrat, and Supervisor Mike Cooper, who took office last year as an independent candidate and ran this year as a Republican, will both return to office in January. The results remain unofficial until the Board of Supervisors meets and canvasses them. Newly elected officials will be sworn in in January.

Community invited to facilities discussions By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor South Central Calhoun School District residents will get a chance to take a closer look at some of the proposed building upgrades at a series of community meetings next week. “The main purpose (of the meetings) is the district’s trying to develop some long-range plants to meet the students’ educational needs,� SCC Superintendent Jeff Kruse said last week. The SCC school board hired FEH Construction to help create that long-range plan; architects met with students, teachers, school board

members and the district’s community facilities committee in September to talk about what sort of needs different groups see at all three buildings. The community meetings, which are set from 8 a.m., 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at SCC Middle School’s art room, located on the east side of the building, just south of the North Complex in the main building. These meetings are a part of a two-day design workshop FEH is running. At the final meeting, at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, SCC school board members will hear FEH’s updates and proposals. The district has been discussing the building needs for nearly a year.

Three Dakota Access pipeline protesters asked a Calhoun County magistrate for a jury to hear the case against them. The protesters – Emma Schmit of Rockwell City, Heather Pearson of Logan and Mahmud Fitil of Omaha, Neb. – were arrested Oct. 30 at a pipeline construction site east of Rockwell City. They entered the work area carrying a written note from landowner Shirley Gerjets, which stated the protesters were wel-

come, while Dakota Access’ crews were not. Pearson, after the court hearing, read a statement explaining her action. “This pipeline does not qualify as a public utility,� she said, adding that Gerjets is fighting the eminent domain action that condemned an easement on her farmland to accommodate Dakota Access. “The Dakota Access Bakken pipeline is all risk, no reward for Iowa landowners.� Schmit, who described her as a mother and student, said she became involved in the protests because of her concerns about the environment. “We are in a climate crisis,�

Schmit said. “Now is not the time to be building more pipelines to further dirty energy.� Fitil agreed. “What do you do when you, your people are under attack?� Fitil said. “You stand up and fight back.� Robert Frazier and Jesse Horn, who were also arrested Oct. 30, entered Alford pleas to the charge. An Alford plea is a plea in which a defendant concedes that the state has the necessary evidence to secure a conviction. Magistrate Andrew Smith gave Horn and Frazier no jail time – the charged carried a 30-day maximum, but no minimum – and a $65 fine, a $125 charge and a 35 per-

cent surcharge, for a total of $272.50. The low fine ensures “no martyrs are made,� Frazier said. “That’s one side of it. It’s the state making it as easy as possible to keep it as quiet as possible.� Frazier, of Cedar Rapids, after the hearing, said he wanted to attend the hearing to support his fellow protesters, but decided to wrap up his own charges. “It’s good to see there are landowners that are fighting the use of eminent domain,� Frazier. Smith said he would set the trial for January or February.

SCC preschool earns top marks in state ratings review By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor

A combination of documenting the good processes already in place and making some adjustments has brought the South Central Calhoun preschool programs state recognition. An assessment of the district’s programs in Lake City and Rockwell City resulted in five-star ratings for both under the Iowa Quality Rating System. That is the highest rating available. “Our programs were really highquality before we started the process,� SCC Elementary Principal Nicole McChesney said. “We did make some changes to meet some health and safety inspection (standards).� Some of the changes included tightening bolts on playground equipment, others had to do with better securing the cords on window blinds in the classroom. The rules also spell out how long students should be washing their hands, for example, so the school installed

new timer lights in the bathrooms, so children know when they have washed the appropriate amount of time. South Central Calhoun has been working its way up to the five-star level for several years, following the steps the state sets out to reach that achievement. McChesney said the rating system also looks at the types of materials students and teachers use. To better meet the recommended standards, the district added new activities for indoor recess and diversified the kinds of paints, blocks and other items students use in class. An outside observer, usually from the Iowa State Extension Service, visits each classroom to evaluate the teachers and the program, McChesney said. “I’ve known all along that these four teachers are of the highest quality,� McChesney said. “It’s very validating to have someone from outside the district recognize that.� She said the ratings system also demonstrates the rigor of the preschool classes. “Preschool is not just about playing all day,� McChesney said. “These are clear standards for the teachers and programs.� South Central Calhoun has the only Department of Education preschools in the county; the ratings systems are also available for private daycare centers and preschools. Only the school programs have achieved a five-star rating, said Rebekah Hungate, a child care consultant with Mid-Sioux Opportunity Inc., which helps preschools and day care centers in Calhoun and Webster counties. Webster County, which

does have more preschools, does not have any five-star programs, she said. Hu ngate g uided the dist r ict through the application and evaluation process. She said the ratings program is designed, in part, to help parents compare preschool programs. Achieving the top rating in Iowa also means that programs would be considered “high average� on a number of national standards for preschoolers, she added. Rating program officials are planning to revamp the program system in the next few years. SCC’s fivestar rating will stand for the next two years, at which point the school will

apply to renew the rating. In Emily Stelling’s three-year-old preschool class earlier this month, students listened as Stelling read “Room on the Broom.� Students then headed to their tables to arrange pictures from the book in their journals. Stelling said she doesn’t think the public always realizes how much academic work even her youngest students are undertaking. “I think people just think kids come to school and play,� she said. “(Getting the five-star rating) feels like an acknowledgement of the hard work that we’re putting into the program.�

Empty Nest By Curt Swarm Honest Man It was late Saturday night, or late for us, anyway—10:00 p.m. Ginnie and I were returning home from a busy fall day of getting the stink blown off us. I pulled up to our mailbox to retrieve the mail. My phone rang. It was a 641 area code. “Is this Curt Swarm?� came a male voice. “Y-Yes,� I answered. “Were you at the BP station in Batavia tonight?� “Y-Yes. I got gas.� “Well, I found your wallet lying on the ground by a gas pump.� I felt my hip. Sure enough, no wallet. Gulp. My whole life is in that wallet. Besides more cash than I should be carrying, there are credit cards, driver’s license, even an insurance and Medicare Card. The man went on. “I found your name on your driver’s license, and searched the White Pages, but came up with a phone number that didn’t work. I’m sorry, but I had to look through your wallet. I found your business card with a phone number and you answered. I know if I lost my wallet, I would appreciate it being returned.� “What’s your name?� I asked. “Are the credit cards and cash still in the wallet?� “Yes, sir. Cash and credit cards are still there. My name is David Mullins. I live in Rose Hill, over by Oskaloosa.� “Well, David,� I said, relieved. “How can we get together? There will be a reward for you.� The next day, Sunday, after church, Ginnie and I met up with David Mullins in Ottumwa. He’s a youngish man, with a beard and friendly face. He was at a garage where he and some pals were working on restoring a ‘55 Ford. Of course, I gave him a reward. He had rescued my wallet, credit cards and identity, saving me from all kinds of grief. Thank you, David Mullins! There are honest people in this world. It reminded me of a few years ago while vacationing in Kauai. I was

WHAT’S HAPPENING

jogging along the beach early in the morning, enjoying the spectacular view of waves crashing on rock cliffs. I came upon a campsite from the night before, and spotted a wad of cash lying on the sand. Not wanting to leave it there, I picked it up and was able to get it returned to the rightful owner. What goes around comes around. I have also been in Rose Hill, where David Mullins lives. I have insurance clients there. Rose Hill, like its name implies, is a pristine little town of a couple of dozen homes, just off Highway 92, east of Osky. From what I know of Rose Hill residents, they are inordinately trustworthy and friendly. When I was visiting my clients in Rose Hill, I noticed a doe hanging around their barn. I asked about it and was told the story. They had found the fawn after its mother had been killed by a car. They bottle fed the fawn, and

raised it until it could survive on its own. They opened the gate to the paddock, but the young deer, named Rosie, after Rose Hill, refused to leave. They drove Rosie out, which hurt her feelings, and shut the gate. Rosie jumped back in. So there you have it. Why leave Rose Hill? My wallet being returned to me intact is part of what I believe has happened to me all my life. I am protected. I’m embarking on my life work, which is a book I’m calling, “Protected.� The story about my wallet being returned may be one of the chapters. If you haven’t seen “Hacksaw Ridge� yet—see it!

SCC In the Middle focuses on veterans’ service By Brodie Voith, Abby Stelling and Claire Kalous As a part of the SCC Middle School Veterans Day program, the 7th grade students wrote letters to deliver to veterans. Below are samples

from a few of those letters. Dear Veteran – To me, Veterans Day is a day to thank people who served our country. I also think about their families. Veterans Day is also to remember soldiers that have died or lived through war. Thank you for keeping us safe and giving us the right to be free. (Brodie Voith)

EXPECTING? WHERE WILL YOU DELIVER?

Veterans Day is a day to celebrate our freedoms. It’s a day to reflect on our history and thank everyone in the military. Thank you for having the courage to leave your home and serve this country. You are the reason I am proud to be an American and proud to live in this beautiful country. (Abby Stelling)

I want to take the time to say “thank you.� Thank you for leaving behind your family, to protect them and protect us. Thank you for all that hard work, training, and commitment to protect our rights and for giving us a better life, and having to put your life at risk to save ours. (Claire Kalous)

Iowa Central reiterates intention to located high school program in Lohrville, if bond passes By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor If voters in nine counties approve a $29.5 million bond on Dec. 6, Iowa Central Community College officials are ready to start scouting a site for the college’s next Career Academy. “If this goes through, I’m 99 percent sure we’ll build it right here,� ICCC President Dr. Dan Kinney said during a meeting in Lohrville Thursday night. “I haven’t looked at property yet. I don’t want to put the cart before the horse.� K i n ney ha s d r ive n t h roug h Lohrville, though, checking for a building site, or even better, a building that could be converted to accommodate a Career Academy. The college’s first such academy opened a few years ago in Eagle Grove, Kinney said, and has been a resounding success. Students from Eagle Grove, Fort Dodge, Clarion and other towns there have been able to study advanced manufacturing, bioprocess technology, engineering and teaching, as well as take high-level college

courses, Kinnney said. Students who complete two tracks – juniors and seniors are both allowed to take classes at the academy – can graduate high school with nearly 40 college credits and save families, on average, about $6,000 in college tuition. Iowa pays school districts to cover the costs of enrolling high school students in college courses, Kinney said, so students pay nothing for those credits. The program is designed to supplement, not supplant, college course offerings at local high schools. “It’s been a great adventure,� Kinney said of the college’s first career academy. “We’re trying to keep our youth in the area.� Logan Mogler, who serves on the Lohrville City Council, asked Kinney what Lohrville can do to attract Iowa Central to the town. Lohrville already has what Iowa Central wants, Kinney said. The key to selecting Lohrville is its location – within a 30-mile radius of all of the schools the academy would serves. Districts that would be able to send students to the academy include South Central Calhoun, East Sac County, Southeast Valley, Manson Northwest Webster and Jefferson.

K i n ney said he had wal ked through Lohrville School before it was sold and demolished. In some ways, he said, he regretted that the college wasn’t able to move faster to decide to locate the academy in Lohrville and find a way to use that building. On the other hand, he said, he needs a site with lots of shop room, and less classroom space than a traditional school building. The bond Iowa Central officials are asking the public to support will fund safety improvements at all ICCC locations, infrastructure upgrades, including improvements to classroom space. The college wants to centralize student services, Kinney said, in an effort to better support nontraditional students who don’t always know where to start when asking questions about college processes. Kinney said the college wants to do a better job of helping students select and stick with a major, and make sure more students are finishing their degrees. The bond would add about $1.04 per month to the tax bill of a homeowner with a house valued at $100,000, Kinney said

What’s the point of getting arrested? Examining the motivation of pipeline protesters By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor I spent two Saturdays last month watching out-of-town protesters converge on Calhoun County fields, showing their opposition to the Dakota Access oil pipeline with chants and, eventually, acts of trespassing. It’s not, I was quick to tell my friends, how I would choose to spend half of my weekend. As I thought about it more, I do have to admit that it is the kind of news event that the reporter in me can enjoy. Every time the pipeline protests come up, the conversation inevitably takes the same turn, with the person learning about the protests pointing out that no amount of protest is going to stop the Dakota Access pipeline from being built. After all, people tell me, the pipeline is in the ground. True enough. I have huge doubts about the ability of these protesters to stop this particular project, though perhaps the protesters in North Da-

Klement’s Sausage Company, Inc., a Milwaukee, Wis. establishment, is recalling approximately 1,689 pounds of beef and pork products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The ready to eat beef and pork snack stick products were produced on May 13, 2016. The following products are subject to recall: 1-oz. plastic packages containing 2 pieces of “KLEMENT’S ORIGINAL SNACK STICKS NATURALLY HARDWOOD SMOKED NO MSG ADDED GLUTEN FREE� with a sell by date of 11-16-17 and case code of 3262. The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 2426B� inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to vending distributors in Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The problem was discovered Oct. 6, when a consumer complaint was filed to the FSIS Des Moines District Office. The Des Moines District Office was notified and began an in-

vestigation. The FSIS Eastern Laboratory found several additional pieces of foreign material ranging in size from 1 to 4.88 mm in other unopened packages. The company has received one report of an oral injury associated with consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/ recalls. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Becca Herrmann, Director of Marketing, at (414)-744-2330, EXT. 273.

ably playing at the same long game. They absolutely want to stop this pipeline – and all the ones that may come later. Eight protesters walked on to a Dakota Access construction site near Rockwell City Oct. 30 with specific intentions of getting arrested. They carried with them a note from the landowner that denied giving permission to Dakota Access to use the land, and that explicitly gave the protesters the right to be there. It’s a specific legal strategy, an opportunity to go to court and argue against the use of eminent domain to benefit Dakota Access. These protesters also likely know they’re not going to win the first time they get to court. They are facing years of appeals, with the intention of forcing the courts to clarify Iowa’s eminent domain laws. It’s a hard fight and not one they’re guaranteed to win. But as much as I don’t have any intentions of going out and protesting with them, well, I can kind of understand how they got there.

kota, with a century-old treaty in hand, may fare better. But the point of a protest isn’t always just to stop one project. Think about this: two weeks ago, I cast my ballot in the 2016 presidential election. My mom, my grandmother, my sister, my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law and my female cousins did the same. The fact that I can vote is ‌ routine, mundane, even at this point. I’ve voted in five presidential elections. And yet, women born a century before me never thought they would get that chance. We all learned about Susan B. Anthony in school – born in 1820, she was a suffragette, fighting to give women the vote. It was an effort that did not achieve her ultimate goal in her lifetime – she died in 1906, 13 years before Congress ratified the 19th Amendment. Were her protests in vain? Or was she playing the long game? Certainly she would have wanted to cast a ballot, but barring that, at least the women who came after her were able to. The pipeline protesters are prob-

Northey: Water quality remains top priority for new legislative session By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor The dust from last week’s election is still settling, but Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship Secretary Bill Northey said the brainstorming about the upcoming legislative session has already begun. Water quality is the biggest piece Northey hopes to be working on come January, he said during a visit to Rockwell City Friday morning. “The challenge this time, there’s not a lot of dollars,� he said. “I don’t think they (the majority caucus) are very interested in raising taxes in these trying times.� Funding those water quality initiatives aside, Northey said he does feel confident that legislators will tackle the question of water quality protections. He also wants to see his $500,000 request to create a disaster response program fulfilled. The program would prepare Iowa for another livestock disease outbreak similar

to last year’s avian flu outbreak, “so we could limit the impact of an outbreak.� Northey stopped in Rockwell City on Veterans Day to view the Calhoun County Freedom Rock on his way to another engagement in northwestern Iowa. Calhoun County Chamber and Development Director Theresa Hildreth filled Northey in on the rock’s history, and pointed out the individualized details placed there just for Calhoun County veterans. Northey, who said he has seen a number of the rocks, marveled at artist Bubba Sorensen’s talent in creating the rocks, and the entrepreneurial spirit that led Sorensen to start making and marketing the memorials. “It’s brought communities together,� Northey said. “I don’t see how he does it. He’s just amazing.� Hildreth told Northey the Calhoun County rock, which is located on the courthouse square in Rockwell City, was the result of hundreds of volunteer hours and thousands of cash donations.

SHADY OAKS Shady Oaks Salutes Our Veterans Post #31 saluted our Veterans as they entered the dining room for an afternoon planned in their honor. Veterans Day was celebrated at Shady Oaks on Thursday, Nov 10th. This year the program had an extra special touch with men from the spring of 2016 Honor Flight gracing our presence. Life Enrichment Coordinator, Deb Jones invited men from the Honor Flight consisting of veterans who served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. A video was shown of their trip to Washington, DC which was clearly full of memories and pride. Through tears and smiles, the rest of the program included music, poetry, and praying while honoring those who have served our country. During

ADAZA The Adaza Thursday Club's November meeting was on the 3rd , a dutch treat lunch at BURGERS, DOGS & MORE in Churdan at noon. Nine members answered roll call and enjoyed the great food and service. Next meeting is a Christmas party at Jane Beschorner's home on the 8th of December. Liz Guess, Marty Henessey and Barbara Winkelman attended the Greene County Historical Society's meeting on the 4th at the Scranton United Methodist Church. The program was a talk by Marilyn Hoskinson of Grand Junction on the country school era in Iowa, bringing back memories for many goldenagers who

began their education at one of those schools. Shirley Hamilton and Barbara Winkelman enjoyed the annual ham dinner at the United Methodist Church in Paton on Sunday the 6th of November. Shirley Hamilton went to the Calhoun County 4-H Awards Program Sunday afternoon at the Lake City Union Church. Her grand-daughter Olivia Hanlon received an award. Steve and Liisa Schmitt of Minneapolis were weekend visitors from Nov. 4th to 6th at Paul and Pat Schmitt's home. Their sons, Patrik, Lukas, Erik and friend Kristin came for Saturday overnight.

SUNNYVIEW Pictured is Pauline Walters standing beside a huge box of story books for South Central Calhoun schools. Mia found out from her grandma that there are children in homes without books to read. She gathered up books from her home and sent them to Rockwell City. Mia Postorio is 8 years old, step-daughter of Nicholas Lindstrom, Pauline’s grandson. They live in Barrington, IL. Our friend Lois Hoyt, a former Sunnyview resident, passed away recently. Several years ago she moved from Sunnyview to Sunny Knoll. We remember her as being full of life and laughter, with a loving family, and ready for fun. God bless you, Lois, and our sympathy to the family. The community turned out to salute Officer Justin Martin, one of two police officers who were killed in the line of duty on Nov. 2 in Urbandale and Des Moines. At the visitation, many of us offered our sympathy to the family. Many of us attended the funeral on Nov. 8, in a packed gym in the SCC Middle School, accompanied by hundreds of law enforcement officers from across the country. God bless you, Officer Martin, and we give our ongoing support to your family. We honor you and all our law enforcement officers. Meanwhile, the election is over. God bless America as we move forward together. On November 14, 2016, we can get set for the Supermoon, the closest full moon to earth since 1948. According to www.timeanddate.com/

astronomy/moon/super-full-moon. html “A Supermoon happens when a Full Moon or New Moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth; also called perigee. A Super Full Moon looks around 12% to 14% bigger than its counterpart. . . . The Supermoon on November 14, 2016, will be the closest a Full Moon has been to Earth since January 25, 1948.� Let’s hope we have clear skies that night. For some of us, it takes a while to get used to the daylight savings time change, and to adjust to having darkness descend around suppertime. Even though our fall weather has been marvelous, maybe it’s time to find those mittens, boots and snowsuits. Do you have wax for your sled? Are your ice skates sharpened? At some point, you might need an ice-scraper for your car windows. However, here at Sunnyview, don’t worry about shoveling snow. That is done for you, one of the “perks� of living here. Thanksgiving is fast approaching. Remember the pumpkin pie; this is one desert that helps us get our daily requirement of vegetables. You wouldn’t want to miss all of that Vitamin A! Directly after Thanksgiving, decorating will begin in earnest here at Sunnyview. The Christmas advertisements may have already started. Did you notice whether any of them appeared before Halloween? Remember, our website is www. Sunnyviewil.com and the coffee is always on.

SUNNY KNOLL Everyone at Sunny Knoll would like to take time and thank all of our Veterans and those currently serving in our armed forces. At Sunny Knoll we have 2 Army veterans Norton Prince and Aaron Carlson. I wanted to share a poem with you that we shared with our Veterans. This poem was written by Timothy Emmons. Still A Soldier I lay here today a soldier I know some don’t understand I will try to explain So maybe you can I served my country For many a year I retired long ago The soldier still here I put on my uniform I wore it to foreign lands The soldier I was

Is still in the man I have been a husband, father, and friend To some of you here But I’ve been a soldier all along Even after so many a year My final salute I render today I’m still a soldier I’m just on my was November is a busy month at Sunny Knoll. We have a tea party scheduled for 21, at 2pm. I am looking forward to an afternoon of fun. We are also excited to be having Roger and Cheryl Netz joining us on Tuesday November 29, 2016 at 6pm for a performance in our lobby. We invite everyone to come and attend.

My thought for the day is: As for mashed potatoes, ask if they are made with skim milk or whole milk. If it’s skim, pass. Why bother? It’s like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission. The trivia question for the week is: How much did the Art Institute of Chicago pay for Grant Wood’s painting, American Gothic? Well the election is over and now we start a new era. We wish our new President good luck in leading our country. Last weekend, Bette Knapp had as

her visitors her children: Bob Knapp, Tom and Sue Knapp of Des Moines, Susan Clapper of Manson, Jordan Clapper of Des Moines and Kathryn and Ron O’Connor of Prairie City. Our birthday best wishes go out to: Gary Imhoff on the 16th, Bonnie Enabnit on the 17th, and Tim Woodward on the 20th. Hope you all had a good one. The answer to the trivia question is: $300. Isn’t that amazing? So until next week, have a good one.

CENTRAL SCHOOL REMEMBERS November 1986 30 Years Ago

The stone marker for the Lake City Time Capsule has been received and is now on display at the Lake City State Bank. The marker will also be displayed at the First Federal Savings and Loan some time next spring. Time Capsule Committee members are: Ted Anderson, Chairman; Steve Huffman, Pati Jo Daisy, Chris Eichhorn, Mark Mittelstadt, Dave Plooster and Peg Scanlon. Lake City residents met with wife of Senator Charles Grassley and their daughter on the local campaign trail Saturday, when Barbra Grassley and Wendy Grassley Speckerman made a walking tour of the community. After nearly three decades of working for Chuck Grassley’s successful

November 1936 80 Years Ago

Roosevelt and Garner Choice of Nation: Revised and corrected figures, as we go to press, give President Roosevelt a plurality of more

than 9 million votes over Gov. Landon in the race for President of the United States. In the race for Governor of Iowa, Nelson G. Kraschel appears to have been elected, leading his Republican opponent, George A. Wilson, by only a small margin. Headlines! Lake City Eagles Neither Beaten Nor Tied During 1936 Season! Writer’s note: As of the end of 1936 a perfect football season had never been had by the Eagles, this was a first! Headlines: The Loss Estimated At Over $15,000: Blaze Threatened Business Section – Damages in the fire last Friday threatened to lay in ruins a major portion of the business section in Lake City have been estimated at $15,000.00. In checking the blaze in the Easton Block after two and one half hour fight, fire-

man averted a potential fire disaster, which in possibility of damage has never been paralled in the history of Lake City. Help was summoned from Auburn, Lohrville, Sac City and Rockwell City. Four pumper trucks were used in combined efforts to kill the fire. Grain Market: corn - $1.00; oats .40c; hogs - $8.90; eggs - .26c. Groceries, Cash Food Market: Oxydol - .19c; Quaker Oats - .19c; Opal Coffee - .25c lb; hamburger – 2 lbs. .25c; pork chops - .23c lb. Reminiscences in the Life of an Old Man by J. M. Pickle: in part – concerning husking corn by hand: “Whenever we husked a red ear we’d yell out ‘Democrat,’ and a calico ear yell out ‘Republican,’ and how the Democrats and Republicans came out at the end of the day’s husking

was something great! We husked fifty bushels of corn a day and thought we did pretty well, as we had to take all the ribbons and silk from each ear of corn before it went into the wagon. Gabble Tattle Prattle: That there was a big fire in Lake City last Friday night was known at the time by some persons a hundred of miles away, while others who lived scarcely two blocks from where the blaze was, didn’t know about it until they came up town the next morn. What with eggs now costing more than 3c each, the old saying has changed to “Scarce as hen’s eggs!� A small town is one where people stand in their windows to see who goes driving, to see how many are standing in their windows to see what their neighbors are doing!
