IUB to Dakota Access: Avoid topsoil replacement if dirt freezes By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Dakota Access should avoid using frozen soil as backfill during construction cleanup when possible, the Iowa Utilities Board said Thursday. But the board didn’t go so far as to prohibit the Texas-based pipeline company from using frozen dirt, over the objections of at least one group of landowners affected by the pipeline. The agricultural impact mitigation plan, which the IUB passed earlier this year, “includes a provision requiring the suspension of final clean-up activities and topsoil replacement if the subsoil is frozen and cannot be uniformly redistributed across the right of way because backfilling the trench with frozen subsoil would not allow the subsoil to settle and consolidate until it thaws, potentially leading to low and soft spots in the field,” an IUB order, approved Thursday, said. Another section of the agricultural impact mitigation plan instructs Dakota Access to fill with unfrozen material to the extent possible, and then waiting until spring to finish filling settled or low areas. “Staff concludes these provisions address the primary concerns as-

sociated with frozen soil, including recognition that it may be better to delay some actions until spring,” the order said, but then avoided telling Dakota Access to not use frozen soil. “The Board finds that the plan

should not prohibit use of frozen soil as backfill in all circumstances, so long as all other criteria are satisfied. In some situations, it appears using frozen soil and addressing any issues in the spring may be the best

available option. And, as the staff report says, ‘the Plan recognizes that trench backfill with unfrozen soil is preferable, but makes provision for additional remedial action if frozen soil is used.’”

Students give thanks for family, freedom South Central Calhoun Elementary first-grade students performed a variety of Thanksgiving songs and readers theater pieces Friday afternoon for parents and family friends. Selections included a Pilgrim, Pilgrim, a reworking of the children’s classic book, “Brown Bear, Brown Bear,” asking pilgrims what they saw as they came to the New World in search of freedom, and a performance of “The Scarecrow’s Hat,” a tale about trading items to get just the right thing, and then keeping it, no matter who wants it. The children are all students in Sherry Ricke’s class. GRAPHIC-ADVOCATE PHOTOS/ERIN SOMMERS

By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor The Calhoun County Economic Development Corp. board has selected Jill Heisterkamp as its new executive director. Heisterkamp, a Lake City native who has lived and worked in Michigan, Kansas City and Storm Lake, said she had been looking for a chance to move closer to her family when she learned of the CCEDC opening. “It’s been really great getting reacquainted with people I grew up with,” Heisterkamp said last week. “Being back home, it’s something that you don’t realize is such a great thing until you get away from it.” She joined the CCEDC at the end of October, replacing former director Pam Anderson, who resigned in September to move closer to her husband’s family in Kansas. Heisterkamp has spent her career working in marketing and communications, and has her own marketing and copywriting business. She spent 12 years working for a number of corporations, including Sprint, in Kansas City before moving to Storm Lake three years ago to take a marketing position with Buena Vista University.

Four in five Calhoun County voters cast ballots this year By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Just more than 80 percent of Calhoun County’s voters cast ballots in this year’s General Election. That’s considerably higher than the national turnout rate of 55 percent, which CNN reported last week was the lowest voter turnout since 1996. Calhoun County registered 135 new voters on Election Day, Auditor Judy Howrey said last week. Another 135 voters updated their registration information, she said. Despite the high turnout, the number of votes cast for a presidential candidate dropped slightly from the 2012 General Election. This year, 5,159 presidential votes were cast in Calhoun County, compared with 5,268 in 2012 according to data provided by the Iowa Secretary of State website. The Board of Supervisors canvassed the election results Nov. 15, officially certifying the preliminary results. Republican Robin Batz defeated independent candidate Karen Norine to become the next Calhoun County Auditor, with 2,741 votes to 2,040 votes. Batz carried eight of 10 precincts, all but Cedar and Reading, which Norine won. Republican Carl Legore defeated two candidates to become the next District 3 Supervisor. Legore received 545 votes, while Democrat Dave Hiler received 339 votes. Independent candidate Richard Finley received 203 votes.

Health board selects new Public Health administrator By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Cal hou n Cou nt y’s Boa rd of Health, as well as Public Health officials, had hoped to divide administrator duties between a handful of long-time employees within the department, Barb Riley told the Board of Supervisors Nov. 15. Unfortunately, Riley said, that didn’t work as efficiently as the groups had hoped. “It was hard to get everybody together to make decisions,” Riley said. On Nov. 16, the Board of Health selected Riley as the department’s new administrator. She has budgeting experience, both from her recent work for the department, and from previously running Public Health’s home health care aid budget. At its peak, that program had about 40 employees. Riley provided a brief update to the

supervisors about Public Health’s most-recent activities. “It seems like most of our time is focused on promoting healthy behaviors and filling gaps,” Riley said. “We are doing more and more partnerships with Webster County Health.” The department has seen an increase in children diagnosed with mental health issues. Riley said one educator she knows said it used to be that just a few young students suffered from mental health problems. “Now it’s a few kids that don’t,” she said. Riley, who has worked with families of young children for years, helping families access a number of community services, said she has seen a shift in family status. These days, too, she said, if a family member is abusing drugs, but the family is still functioning, Iowa Department of Human Services inspectors may not even investigate a complaint, let alone remove children from the home.

Public Health workers continue to encounter county residents living in substandard housing. “We have one gal that has a possum that comes up through the f loors,” Riley said. “The landlord won’t fix it. We have codes, but no one enforces them.” Board member Scott Jacobs asked Riley to return with more detailed information about how the department spends its money. He noted Calhoun County Public Health has a bigger budget, even after the county closed the home health care aid program, than some surrounding counties of similar populations. “Calhoun County gets more services from their Public Health Department,” Riley said, adding she would get that information for the board. The county’s medical home program, a partnership with Stewart Memorial Community Hospital, has become a model for neighboring counties, she said.

In her work, she said she has helped start-up businesses, a skill she thinks will come in handy in Calhoun County. She said she recently attended an event in Manson, where her sister and niece live, and met with a number of small vendors who asked her questions about marketing. “They don’t know how to get their name out,” Heisterkamp said, adding she would like to offer some marketing education to Calhoun County businesses. That would “help businesses grow themselves.” She also wants to educate business owners about creating and maintaining an online presence, even if it is as simple as a website with hours and contact information. Heisterkamp said she plans to follow in Anderson’s footsteps, working with other area economic development groups, such as the Midwest Iowa Growth Partnership. She also plans to go to business owners throughout the county, to introduce herself and find out what sort of needs those businesses have. Her goals, as she begins working for the CCEDC, include helping businesses grow, which could, in turn, help boost the county’s population. In a statement, CCEDC Board Chairman praised Heisterkamp. We believe that Jill’s experience will bring a new perspective and insight to our economic and county development initiatives and are excited for her to get rolling in this position,” John Hepp said. “As you see her out and about in the community, I encourage you to introduce yourself and share your thoughts and ideas with her.”

County honors long-serving election workers By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Ruth Jesse has been working at Calhoun County precincts for four decades. But it was this month’s general election that was the biggest – and busiest – she has ever seen. “It’s interesting,” Jesse said of being an election worker. “You’re doing a service but it’s still fun.” Jesse said she first signed up to be an election worker after talking with her neighbor, who was already working on election days. Jesse first worked in the Sherman Township precinct, and now works in Pomeroy. “I just love being around people,” Jesse said.

Calhoun County Auditor Judy Howrey said the county used to have 21 precincts. That number dropped to 10 when federal officials instituted the Americans with Disabilities Act – many of the old precinct locations didn’t meet the accessibility requirements under that act, Howrey said. Too many of them had steps but no ramps, or other obstacles to entry, she said. Howrey honored Jesse for being the longest-tenured election worker in the county last week. Howrey also presented certificates, signed by Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate, to Ruth Lange, George Mack and Joyce Gadbury, who are all at least 90 years old. They are the county’s oldest election workers. “A big thanks to Ruth Lange, Joyce Gadbury, George Mack and Ruth

Jesse for their service and helping to make elections run smoothly and successfully,” Howrey said. Gadbury was Knierim’s city clerk; when she retired, Howrey called her and ask her to work at elections. She started in 1988. People who want to join the county’s election worker staff “have got to be pretty quick,” Gadbury said. The workers praised the new computer voter registration system, which they said made the sign-in process move along quickly. For Gadbury, the best part of the job is the people she sees each election day. “You get to meet your neighbors,” she said. Lange works at the Rockwell City precinct. Mack works in Pomeroy, and formerly worked in Jolley.

Frozen Soil from page 1 The Northwest Iowa Landowners Association argued for a complete ban on using frozen soil. Dakota Access argued against it. “Such a prohibition could have more adverse consequences than the occasional use of frozen soil,” the IUB staff report said, summarizing the oil transportation company’s argument. “If there is insufficient unfrozen soil at a location to backfill the trench, a prohibition on use of frozen soil would force Dakota Access to leave the trench open during the winter months, which may pose a greater risk of harm to the soil than the use of some frozen soil for backfill.” The order also allows Dakota Access to defer any “post-construction corrective activities” – the measures Dakota Access must take to restore farmland to its original condition following the winter construction – until spring. Dakota Access did not object to that proposal. The IUB rejected several other requests by the Northwestern Iowa Landowners Association, including a recommendation that all landowners be provided with copies of the winter construction plan. Dakota Access ar-

gued that 96 percent of the trench has been backfilled in Iowa, so the majority of landowners would not be affected by winter construction. About half of the cleanup and land restoration is done, company officials said in their monthly construction report to the IUB, filed last week. And the company has completed hydrostatic tests – water pressure tests – on about 61 percent of the pipeline. The second test in Calhoun County was scheduled for late last week. One test was done earlier this fall. In other pipeline related updates, the board learned the oral arguments in the landowners’ lawsuit against Dakota Access and the IUB, over the use of eminent domain to secure easements for the pipeline, are set for Dec. 15. The IUB has received 23 complaints about the pipeline since March; 15 have been closed with the remaining eight still going through the IUB process. A staff attorney told IUB members most of the remaining complaints have reached the point of having a proposed resolution. Two representatives of Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement addressed the board, reiterating the objections to the pipeline. Caro-

lyn Raffensberger, who also works with the Science and Environmental Health Network, said she and other ICCI members volunteered to act as independent monitors at several construction sites. They never once saw any of the US Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration inspectors. Raffensberger said she also often met county supervisors who were unaware of their roles in following up on construction violations. “The county boards had to come before you and prosecute any kind of complaints,” Raffensberger said. “They were overwhelmed and could not manage that.” A handful of Calhoun County landowners asked the Board of Supervisors here to intervene, after several unsatisfying interactions with ISG inspectors, whom the county hired to do inspections here. The Board of Supervisors deferred action on that request, waiting for the county attorney to provide a legal opinion on the county’s ability to file such complaints. The IUB took no action on ICCI’s comments at Thursday’s meeting.

Empty Nest By Curt Swarm Mt. Pleasant Resident Stricken With West Nile Virus Randy Stroud of Mt. Pleasant is a large man, well over six foot tall. He used to weigh about 270 pounds. He is also a well-known business owner in Mt. Pleasant and marathon runner. So, when he came down with a backache after doing yard work in September, he and his wife, Marcy, didn’t think too much of it. Formerly from Indiana, Randy took off with a buddy for a Notre Dame versus Duke football game. When he returned, the backache had spread up his back. Within a couple of days, he was vomiting and had an unbearable headache. They new something was wrong. After multiple trips to two different Emergency Rooms, a doctor’s office visit, and an admission to the University of Iowa Hospital, a spinal tap revealed West Nile virus caused by a mosquito bite. (Wear bug repellant!) Note: West Nile virus has all but been forgotten in the wake of the Zika virus, also spread by mosquitoes. But trust Randy Stroud on this one, West Nile virus is still around. And deadly! Some people, when they get West Nile virus, don’t even know it. They may have flu-like symptoms and then recover. For others, like Randy, who also had encephalitis in 2001, it can be nearly fatal. Iowa recently recorded its first West Nile virus death in six years. Randy Stroud was close to being its second. Very close. In fact, Randy thought he was going to die. He asked a priest for last rites and they were delivered—something Randy doesn’t remember. A University of Iowa immunologist informed Marcy that Randy’s case was one-inten-million, and that it could be fatal. Through the month of October, Randy didn’t sleep more than 45 minutes at a time. He was feverish and his entire body was racked with horrifying tremors that included his spleen, making it difficult to breathe. He had opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome—tremors of the eye and eye lid. He couldn’t remember where he lived, or how to write his name, or how to form letters. If he hadn’t been in such good physical condition from running, he probably would have died. Specialists at the University of Iowa Hospital paraded by to witness the one-in-ten-million case of West Nile virus. He was given three doses of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) infusions of a highly purified, carefully screened blood product that comes from the plasma of 10,000 to 50,000 donors, hoping there would be an antibody that would fight the infection. (Think mega bucks.) He was also given three massive doses of prednisone, which caused psycho-

SCC EVENTS sis. There were times when Marcy couldn’t watch the agony her husband was going through. She had to leave at night to let the professionals at the University of Iowa Hospital do their work. Randy broke restraints and pulled out feeding tubes and IV’s. Finally, after a month of not sleeping and his body worn down from tremors, he began to show improvement. He was able to sleep some, like a drowning man grabbing for a life preserver. He was transferred to the Great River Medical Center in Burlington for rehabilitation. While there, as if he hadn’t been through enough, he suffered a gallbladder attack, which he thought was a heart attack, and his gallbladder was removed.

His stepson Pat is a First Team AllConference football running back at Mt. Pleasant Community High School. Randy had to miss Pat’s football games, but listened to them streamed live on his smart phone. He also had to miss his beloved Cubs World Series Championship, which he watched, but can hardly remember. However, Randy is recovering, a process that may take a couple of years, or a lifetime. He has lost 50 pounds, and still has tremors, although not nearly as severe. He is looking forward to coming home and running again. His goal is to run the Indianapolis Half-Marathon in May. I am betting he makes it. Keep up the prayers! He is very appreciative of all the great people and care he received at Henry County Health Center, the University of Iowa Hospital, and Great River Medical Center, and all the get-well wishes from friends and strangers on FaceBook. One Saturday, Marcy looked out the window of their house in Mt. Pleasant to see a church youth group raking their yard. There will be a benefit for Randy on December 4 at The Coffee Depot in Mt. Pleasant, of which Marcy and he are co-owners. Have a good story? Call or text Curt Swarm in Mt. Pleasant at 319217-0526, email him at curtswarm@ yahoo.com or find him on FaceBook.

Election Results from page 1 Calhoun County voters gave their resounding support to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Two-thirds of county voters – 3,468 – cast their vote for Trump, while 1,398 voters cast a ballot for Democrat Hillary Clinton. Libertarian Gary Johnson received just more than 3 percent of the presidential votes, 173 total, making him the only third-party candidate to get more than 1 percent of the vote here. Trump won the national election by a wide margin of electoral college votes – 290 to Clinton’s 232 – but appeared to have lost the popular vote, nationwide, by more than a million votes.

Community groups offer parents, students info on preventing pornography use By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor For much of the past year, community volunteers have been talking about how Calhoun County can address the growing use of pornography by young adults. The discussions first started in early 2016, at a community meeting to address a number of health-related concerns. Meeting attendees raised the issue of pornography while discussing domestic violence. Some of those meeting attendees began talking with local school officials, who reported learning of children as young as 7 years old being exposed to pornography at home. Teresa VanHulzen, family liaison at South Central Calhoun Elementary School, said new reports show as many as 93 percent of boys have seen pornographic materials by the time they are 18 years old. Some of it, she said, comes in the form of advertisements on websites students may frequent. Other times, children are seeking it out. To better equip parents to talk with

their children about pornography, and to better equip students to learn how to avoid it, presenters with the organization “Fight the New Drug� will speak with community members at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 30 at SCC Middle School, and then with 6th- to 8th-grade students and high schoolers the following day. “It is not religious or political, but purely based on science,� VanHulzen said. The group will present researchbased information on the impact viewing pornography can have on developing brains, VanHulzen said. According to information provided by Fight the New Drug, studies have

found that “frequency of porn use correlated with depression, anxiety, stress and social problems.� Further, the organization said, pornography can create an unhealthy cycle, in which the viewer rewards the brain’s pleasure systems with more and more pornographic images. The images, researchers said, are not an accurate depiction of healthy sexual relationships, and can in fact limit the user’s ability to have such healthy relationships. The brain can become addicted to viewing pornography, too, researchers said. More information about Fight the New Drug is available at fightthenewdrug.org.

Federal refunds delayed to Feb. 15 for Iowa taxpayers claiming two key tax credits The Internal Revenue Service today reminded Iowa taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit to plan on a refund delay until Feb.15. A recent federal law change aimed at making it easier for the IRS to detect and prevent refund fraud, requires the IRS to hold the refund of any tax return claiming either the

EITC or ACTC until Feb. 15. By law, the IRS must hold the entire refund not just the portion related to these credits. “I want to remind folks that as we move into the holiday season, some refunds will be delayed next year so they should plan ahead,� said IRS spokesperson Matt Leas. “To avoid any further delays, it’s important

that taxpayers file as they normally would and not wait until later in the filing season.� As of June 2016, 206,000 working individuals and families in Iowa received $470 million in EITC alone, putting an average of $2,279 into the pockets of low-income working individuals and families. Similarly, 138,700 working individuals and

families in the state received a total of $187.95 million in ACTC, an average of $1,354 per individuals and families. The IRS emphasizes that these are full-year totals for both of these credits and that only those claims filed before Feb. 15 will be affected by the new law. To avoid any further delays on their refunds, the IRS asks Iowa taxpayers to file their returns as they normally do, not wait to file later in the season. Whether or not claiming the EITC or ACTC, the IRS cautions taxpayers not to count on getting a refund by a certain date, especially when making major purchases or paying other financial obligations. The IRS issues more than nine out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days, some returns however, are held for further review. Because the entire tax refund and not only the credit portion will be held until February 15, the IRS encourages taxpayers to file a complete and accurate return the first time which will likely result in a faster refund. Amended returns take up to 16 weeks to process. The IRS also encourages taxpayers to consider a tax-withholding checkup. By adjusting Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, taxpayers can ensure the right amount is taken out of their pay so that they will not have to pay too much tax or wait until they file their return to get a refund. Taxpayers should submit the revised form to employers, and employers will use the form to figure the amount of federal income tax to be withheld from pay. For help, use the Withholding Calculator on IRS.gov.

The Graphic-Advocate

St. Paul’s volunteers stitch together quilts for worldwide distribution By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor For as long as anyone can remember, St. Paul’s Lutheran and Presbyterian Church volunteers have been quilting together. Mary Voith started attending the church in the 1960s, and women back then were making the quilts, which are given to Lutheran World Relief for international distribution. Voith didn’t join the group, which now has about eight regular members, until after she retired, she said. Over the years, participation has dwindled. The group now makes about 100 full-size quilts a year; previous groups were likely piecing together twice that many blankets, Voith said. It’s fun each April to see just how many quilts the group has finished, Voith said. Being part of the sewing circle is enjoyable, too. “We have such a good time,� she said. “There’s never quiet. Somebody is talking all the time.� One regular quilter, a former Rockwell City resident, now drives all the way from Lake Panorama to participate, Voith said, and the group would welcome more quilters. Volunteers don’t need to attend St. Paul’s, she said. “We have really good fellowship,� she said. “We get really excited when we pack (the quilts to be shipped).� From Rockwell City, the quilts go

to a church in Fort Dodge, which packs them on a truck to take them to Minnesota. From there, Lutheran World Relief takes over distribution, Voith said. On the Lutheran World Relief website, officials describe the impact the quilts can have on recipients. “Imagine the comfort that comes from a hug at the time when you need it most,� Lutheran World Relief officials said. “That’s the feeling you can share with an LWR Quilt. Through a simple combination of fabric and thread, you can reach out to people in their time of greatest need with a strong message of hope — you are not alone.� The organization puts a few restrictions on the quilts – all must be new, and the fabrics cannot have military or patriotic-themed prints or patterns. Religious symbols, or the name of the sending church, are also prohibited. In addition to using the quilts as blankets, recipients can use them as small tents, floor coverings or to wrap a baby to a mother’s back. Almost all of the quilts the St. Paul’s sewing circle makes go to Lutheran World Relief, though Voith said the group will also occasionally pass one along to a local family that has a need, or put one in a silent auction or other fundraising benefit. Quilt groups remain common, even as participation numbers dwindle – Voith knew of groups in Lytton and Fort Dodge that also make quilts for Lutheran World Relief.

local news

ADAZA The Churdan Post 198 of American Legion and their Auxiliary thank all who patronized their soup supper on Veterans Day. The Legion will be able to replace more flags that are put up in the cemeteries on Memorial Day, thanks to the generous donations received. Election Day in Churdan also featured a Building Fundraiser for the Churdan Public Library at the Churdan Grill. Many folks, both young and “older�, enjoyed placing their orders with library volunteers, then selecting a beverage and dessert and visiting with friends and neighbors. It was a success for the library and they thank everyone who came and gave. Some of the same customers also went to the Library for a presentation by an author from Bremer County, who has written several books on

the Prohibition era in her part of Iowa. Those stories on bootlegging and moonshine are fascinating, but also becoming distant memories as the years go by. Secrets aren’t written down, and some folks don’t tell things out of fear, even in these much later years! The author is gathering material now on the C.C.C. Camps of the 1930’s which were set up during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt for young men who were out of work during the Depression. And she’s also searching for information on the Prisoner of War Camps that were built up in Iowa during World War II. Thanksgiving greetings to all our readers from the Adaza Folks! We’re thankful for many gifts and the friendships we enjoy in our neighborhood.

We have so many things to be thankful for that we spent a little time on Thursday discussing them. We made leaf door decorations. On each leaf we wrote down things we are thankful for and then tied them together to make a hanger for their doors. Health, friends, family were just some of the things we were thankful for and of course ice cream! We also talked about some of favorite dishes to have on Thanksgiving. I was surprised to learn how many people did not serve turkey. Instead of serving turkey many had ham, ham balls, goose or chicken. We will be having Roger and Sharyl Netz join us on November 29, 2016 at 6pm in our main lobby. We

invite anyone who would like to see the show to join us. Roger and Sharyl sing all kinds of songs. It will be a fun evening for us. We also have the Garfield Gleemers coming on Sunday December 4, 2016 to play bingo and celebrate the Christmas season with our residents. It is hard to think that the Christmas season is upon us! Mother Nature has provided us with such wonderful weather that it is hard to believe the holidays are upon us. We are busy planning our family Christmas parties for our residents and families. We are also starting to plan our staff Christmas celebration as well. Jennifer Roberts-Activity Director

My thought for the day is: Angels urge us to take risks and will always catch us if we stumble. The trivia question for the week is: What town was named for Orrin Sage of Ware, Massachusetts? A banker who helped finance it’s establishment. Rose Heath and Cecil Cook met Rose’s family at the Starlight in Fort Dodge last weekend. Those present included: Ted and Sue Heath, Kim Becher and family, Fay Huster and family, and Shirley Zanley and family. The food was wonderful and everyone had a great time reminiscing. On Tuesday, the VFW Ladies, Shirley Riedesel and Dorothy Siemann had as their guests, Rose Heath and Bette Knapp at the Pizza Ranch in Rockwell City. The Craft and Vendor event was held last week and it was a great success. The refreshment stand spon-

sored by the children’s sunday school class of the United Methodist Church really appreciated you attending their stand. Several people attended the Soup Supper at Farnhamville last Friday, Honoring the Veterans of all wars. The winner of the quilt made by Rita Kail was revealed. We owe a lot to our veterans and what you can tell one when you see them is thank you. Our birthday best wishes go out to: Chuck Schmitt on the 26th, Jeff Wirt on the 27th, Teri Vote on the 28th and Brian Knapp on the 29th. Hope you all have a happy one. The answer to the trivia question is: Osage. So until next week, have a good one and have a good thanksgiving. Edythe Cavanaugh’s 101st birthday is coming up, be sure to wish her a “Happy Birthday�!

SUNNYVIEW Friday afternoon, November 11, was the Veteran’s Day Program at the SCC Middle School Gym in Rockwell City. We understand that the program was very good and that veterans who happen to be Sunnyview residents attended the program. We salute all of our veterans and all who are serving in our military. Hooray! God bless America. The Sunnyview dining room was a sea of blue on November 7 and 8. Residents and staff wore blue to honor the two fallen police officers who were killed in the line of duty in the Des Moines area on November 2. One of the officers, Justin Martin, was from Rockwell City. We honor all of our law enforcement, fire departments, EMTs – all first responders. Did you see the Super Moon? On November 14, the Super Moon was predicted to be larger/closer than it has been since 1948. We heard that some residents saw it on Monday night and that it was quite impressive. We heard from some who saw it on Tuesday night at about 7 p.m. and that it was still large and beautiful. Incredible things have been happening. For instance, the Cubs won the World Series, the first time in 108 years. On Saturday, November 12, the University of Iowa Hawkeye football team beat the highly ranked Michigan team, even though Michigan was expected to win by a large margin. We were able to watch the game on national television, includ-

ing the “storming of the field� after the win. Hmm, could any of this have to do with the Super Moon? What often falls down at the North Pole, but doesn’t get hurt? “Snow�. We don’t need any of that white stuff for a while, although we could use some moisture. Our beautiful autumn weather has been a blessing, and the farmers have been busy. Speaking of snow, there is always the possibility of bad weather and a big snow around Thanksgiving. A Dubuquer remembered a notable snowfall on Thanksgiving, with snow remaining on the ground all the way through until the next March. Several people have mentioned that “a little snow� at Christmas would be OK, but a few of us are hoping for a “green� Christmas. This is an old story, but have you heard about the little boy who went to visit his grandmother and discovered that she was not at home? Later his grandmother told him that she had gone to get her hair fixed. “Oh,� said the little boy, “was your hair broken?� Happy Thanksgiving! In some ways it’s a lot quieter since Election Day is over. No more phone calls, or political ads on television, and the mail carriers get a break from delivering political flyers so they can start delivering Christmas catalogs. Remember, our website is www. Sunnyviewil.com and the coffee is always on.

CENTRAL SCHOOL REMEMBERS November 1976 40 Years Ago

Alumni: Joyce Wiederin – was born on September 24, 1958 in Manning, Iowa. She is the daughter of Mrs. Marylyn Wiederin and the late Floyd Wiederin. Joyce spends her spare time having fun, especially after summer softball games. The activities she is most interested in are: early morning golf, softball, basketball, bicycling and riding horses. Her favorite dinner is chicken from the Spoke, which she munches while listening to Yesterday by the Beatles. She likes the Beverly Hillbillies and Candid Camera. Capri Theater: Across the Great Divide, show times – 5-7-9:00 PM Service Men: Robert Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Smith, was honored recently at a retirement ceremony at San Diego, California following 20 years of service in the U.S. Navy. Lake City again led the county in taxable sales and in the amount of retail tax collected, according to a report released recently by the Iowa Department of Revenue. Although just the third largest community in Calhoun County, Lake City recorded sales of over $9.7 million and collected $292,591.00 in taxes for the twelve month period. Markets: corn - $2.17; beans $6.50; oats - $1.48. Alumni: Deb Dowling, a student at South Western Illinois University at Carbondale, Illinois, has recently

been initiated into Pi Lambda Theta, an honor and professional organization for men and women in education. Deb is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Dowling.

Nov 1926 90 Years Ago

Diet for the Beautiful: A women’s athletic association announces that the woman who would be both beautiful and fit must secure 60 hours of sleep a week, eat only fresh fruit between meals, drink a pint of milk, relax for 30 minutes, and take an hour’s outdoor exercise daily. It seems the early nervous strain of modern life to both men and women is taking its toll. Its extractions begin early in life and continue until age and disability takes one out of the active whirl. As soon as the teens are reached the youth are literally engulfed in a maze of activities in and out of school. Writer’s Note: And this was 90 years ago! There is nothing new under the sun. Farmers are up in arms over the slaughter of chickens and other fowls on the highway by automobiles. Iowa has over 104,000 miles of highway traffic. If Iowa killed only one chicken per week per mile, that would be a total of 5,048,000 killed in a year’s time, and if the average value was .75c each that would mean a loss of $4,056,000. Farmers are asking that drivers have a little care when driving. Farm Bureau News Notes: It costs the average farm owner family in

Iowa over $1,800.00 a year for its living in 1922 – 23. Of these families, it was discovered that on the average about 40% of their living came off the farm.

Last Thursday afternoon, the local football team journeyed to Scranton where they met the said team on a slippery field which made for good football almost an impossibility. At the beginning of the fourth quarter the players were so covered in mud that it was difficult to carry the ball.

FROM THE TITANS’ DESK Student reflects on the Thin Blue Line By Makayla Patterson Police officers do so much for our communities every day. They put their lives in danger to protect us. They go to the call no matter if it’s a dangerous situation or not. If we are lost and can’t find our way home, they will help. If we are broken down with a flat tire, they are there to help. Speeding? Don’t worry; they will write you a ticket to teach you a life lesson. Everything they do is to protect their community. The past few weeks, I’ve never seen our community come together before like ours after our recent loss. I watched a community so small, yet so big come together to support one of our own families. Blue ribbons all around the town, blue lights at so many doors, and officers entering our town to support one of our own; I’ve never been so inspired. I asked some people how police officers have affected our lives, and I received many different responses. Ms. Morten, our new choir teacher, said, “Seeing police officers present in communities I’ve lived in gives me comfort and security in my personal safety and in the safety of those around me.”

Academic Students Decathlon preps discuss for new season Thanksgiving celebrations By Jordan Ludwig South Central Calhoun’s Academic Decathlon team is gearing up for another successful year. This year, the topic is World War II. The team is reading through and studying seven areas of academics. All of the materials relate to the war. Some of the areas are math, science, art, and music. In addition to these subjects, competitors prepare a speech, write a prompted essay, and are interviewed. To help ready themselves for the regional competition, the majority of the team members attended a study day at the University of Northern Iowa. At this study day, the team listened to two lectures by guest speakers. One lecture was focused on the science portion of this year’s material and adventurously titled, “How to Build an Atomic Bomb.” This lecture was given by the university’s physics professor, who elaborated on the technicalities of how and why an atomic bomb works. The other lecture focused on art. It gave techniques to propaganda as well as military tactics used to disguise ships. Overall, the information helped to expand the material that the team had been learning in the classroom.

Activity Corner: Jazz Choir By Caleb Reiss Jazz choir is a collection of students who participate together in singing and dancing. They showcase their skills at concerts for different groups and people. Some of the songs song at a recent concert include “Lullaby” and “Mayberry.” Recently, the choir sang for a study group in Rockwell City. Four songs were prepared: “Bring Me Little Water, Silvy,” “Mayberry,” “Non Nobis,” and “Home.” In both “Home”

and “Mayberry,” there were solos. The soloists were Nic Englin, Hannah Seil, Anna McChesney, Makayla Patterson, Mitchell Clark, and Caleb Reiss. The performance was at the United Methodist Church during school Nov. 1. Everyone enjoyed the performance. Jazz choir can help with characteristics such as self-discipline due to the early morning practice schedule. This is an activity that everyone should try, because it’s a good experience to have in your high school years.

By Austin Wiskus Thanksgiving is a very important time of the year for many families. It is a time for people to get together and bond. Some families have a big feast. After they eat, they socialize and play poker with each other. When interviewed, many students stated they went somewhere to eat, and then returned home to watch football. Others watch the Macy’s parade. One student even remarked that his family watches the dog show before eating with his family. Many students celebrate Thanksgiving, each with their own unique way of bonding. Some stay home, others go on vacation. What’s most important is that they are with loved ones, spending time with them.

Army Insight

Student review: Stranger Things

By Cade Carstens

By Lindsey Sweeney and Cody Schumacher

On Nov. 9, the United States Army came to SCC, and the student body got a look at the army’s smaller version of their obstacle course. There were eight obstacles you had to conquer as a team of five or six. One obstacle made it seem as though you were crawling under barbed wire in mud, but it was made of string for demonstration purposes. Another obstacle counted on you to communicate with others as a team to try to walk on wooden planks. The hardest obstacle was trying to flip a tarp while your entire team is standing on it. After everybody finished, you moved to a four-way tug of war, which was possibly the best obstacle of the day. This competition required the teams to work together to pull the other three teams towards you and past a cone. Once completed, students were able to ask the recruiter questions.

SCC cheerleaders head to state By Myk Schoop On Nov. 5, the South Central Calhoun cheerleaders traveled to Des Moines and competed at the 2016 state cheer competition. Schools from all over the state of Iowa came to compete. This year’s team is made up of four seniors, two juniors, and five fresh-

man. All of the cheerleaders performed in a time-out cheer, which received first place out of 17 teams. SCC also brought a small group stunt, which took home fourth place out of thirteen teams. The team worked very hard this year. They couldn’t have done it without their three coaches, Brittanie Dusenberry, and Mackenzie and Karen Gorden.

Teacher Spotlight: Mr. Francis By Caleb Reiss and Mariya Streck Mr. Francis decided to be a teacher after he spent a few summers at a community recreation league for baseball. He was coaching and enjoyed all of it, especially when the kids accomplished what they set out to do. He wanted to be a teacher, because the kids make each day inter-

esting. His favorite memor y of high school was having success in sports at the state level. It’s exciting to him to see students having fun competing and succeeding in their activities. His advice to students is to follow your passion and do your best every day. In his free time, Mr. Francis enjoys following the Iowa Hawkeye sports, coaching, and spending time with his family.

In the beginning of 2016, Netflix released a new original show entitled “Stranger Things.” It starts with a young boy, Will, heading home from a friend’s house when he sees something terrible. Nearby in a government lab lurks a terrible secret. Lucas, Mike, and Dustin are distraught by the disappearance of their good friend. While searching for him, they encounter a girl, Eleven. The three boys and their new friend

go through a whirlwind of adventures in hopes of finding Will and getting him home safely. In the eight short episodes, you become fond of the characters and are invested in their lives, which keeps you watching. “Stranger Things” is very different from other shows on the air right now, especially considering it is set in the eighties. The first season has a story that is told in a clear way, with appropriate timing. The sense of mystery combined with horror and humor keeps the audience captivated. Sneak peeks of the next season have viewers on the edge of their seats in anticipation.

Students reflect on first-quarter struggles By Aspen Ellis and Myk Schoop In high school, the first quarter is always the most difficult. Freshman are just getting used to being in high school. They have to adapt to a new building, teachers, students, and schedules. For seniors, they have to figure out what they want to do after high school. Deciding where to go to college stresses a lot of seniors out. For most people, like the seniors, the first quarter seems to go by fast. Others feel like it goes extremely

slow. The first quarter for athletes is emotional as fall sports come to an end. People think the second quarter will be better and go faster. Kids have their schedules down by now and they have figured out their dayto-day responsibilities. They know what to expect. Fall is coming to an end for the school year, but winter activities are soon to start. Basketball season is just around the corner and students are looking forward to that, as well as the concerts and activities SCC has planned.

SCC student review: The Flash By Seth Stamp “The Flash” is a DC Comics television show on the CW and Netflix. The show is now in its third season, and it seems to be becoming more and more popular with each season. “The Flash” focuses on Barry Allen, the titular character, as he and his partners race to stop crime in Central City. The hero faces many threats, including attempts to destroy the city or even the Flash’s own timeline. The show keeps you entertained with short, one episode

long stories, with a bigger story interwoven throughout the season for suspense. “The Flash” is joined by other superhero shows on the CW, including “Arrow” and “Supergirl.” The other shows do crossover episodes combining multiple heroes and shows in one or two episodes. “The Flash” uses the gray area between science and sci-fi to entertain the viewer with fictional ideas based in scientific background. The show is a must see for and DC Comic fans and for anyone who enjoys long, suspenseful, action packed TV shows.

SCC In the Middle By Sayer Steig and Peyton Riley In 7th grade reading, we are writing vocabulary synonyms and antonyms and we are taking a quiz Friday over the story “Zoo.” In English, we are learning about verb tenses which are past, present, and future.

The Middle School boys have their first basketball game Nov. 17 and the girls have their first basketball game Nov. 18. Both games are in Rockwell City. Joke: What did the pencil sharpener say to the pencil? Answer: Stop going in circles and get to the point!

Spotlight Sydnie Schultz By Anastasia Sackfield Sydnie Schultz is a senior at South Central Calhoun High School and is always busy with softball, wrestling managing, 4-H, and serving as secretary for National Honor Society. With what little free time she has, Sydnie usually spends it with her friends and family, working at the Kid’s Spot, and playing sports.
