Keokuk County Supervisors Michael Hadley, Deke Wood, County Engineer Andrew McGuire and Mick Berg hold up a check for $82,436 for the Belva Deer Trail Project during their meeting on Monday, Nov. 21.
County receives Riverboat grant to continue Belva Deer Trail work By CJ Eilers News Editor The Keokuk County Board of Supervisors kicked off the holiday season early after receiving an $82,436 grant from the Washington County Riverboat Foundation for the next phase of the Belva Deer Trail Project. County Engineer Andrew McGuire applied for the grant on the behalf of the county after requesting support from the Board on September 26. In order to begin phase two of the trail project- restoring the trail, making it handicap accessible and addressing several erosion/drainage issues- the county still needed the $82,436. Since the trail was graded in 2010, the Board has insisted that no local taxpayers dollars were to go into this project, and high construction costs have delayed the project. This was the
second time a grant was requested for the project. “We are glad to get to this point through the grant matching the necessary amount needed to finish this project,” the Board of Supervisors said. “Once we complete phase two, we will be able to open the trail again to the public and later pave the surface. We hope the public will come out in support now that we have reached this point again.” The next step in the process will be to have the Department of Transportation give clearance to begin the project once again, then the county will begin to take bids. According to McGuire, a consultant will be hired for the project, which will be included in the $637,180 budget. County employees will have little to no involvement in the construction process, with the winning bid
working on the trail hopefully by the summer or fall next year. “To be able to put a project like this together and say we haven’t tap into the local property tax to do so, that’s a huge accomplishment,” McGuire said. “Now that we have this grant from the Riverboat Foundation, we feel very comfortable with proceeding at this point.” Phase three funds to pave the trail are still being raised, as the county has hit roughly 50% of their goal. The county plans to raise the rest of the funds through various grants to continue avoiding use of road funds. Already, the trail has received grants from the Keokuk County Endowment Fund ($5,000) Keokuk County Conservation Board ($40,000), and the Regional Planning Affiliation ($509,744).
By CJ Eilers News Editor Keokuk County Medical Clinic will have a familiar face as a new nurse practitioner for the clinic when Jin Zhou starts inpatient services beginning on Monday, Nov. 28. Zhou, a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, will be responsible for diagnosing and treating patients for acute and chronic illnesses and filling prescriptions for those patients. She joins Robert Castro, M.D; Brian Murphy, ARNP; Lucia Obradovich, M.D. and Shelly Edwards, ARNP, in the medical clinic, which opened its doors this year in the late summer. Her first day will be Monday, Nov. 28 and she will work Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at the clinic from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Zhou went through her clinicals for her postgraduate studies at Keokuk County Health Center through Brian Murphy. During her time in Sigourney, Zhou feels she grew to respect Murphy and the hospital itself for its personable approach and dedicated staff. During her time with Murphy, Zhou talked with patients and wrote assessments for patients, with her proctor asking her questions and teaching her every step of the way. “I really like this hospital because the employees spend time with every individual,” Zhou said. “I learned a lot working here under Dr. Murphy and everyone here are such team players.” Zhou received her Masters in nursing from the University of Iowa in 2007 and worked as a staff nurse in NICU at the University Children’s Hospital for five years.
Jin Zhou, FNP-C She also worked in the University Institute for Clinical and Translational Science department, where she performed research work. Originally, Zhou had gone into computer science, but entered in a program at U of I dedicated to transitioning into healthcare and realized she’d found her passion. “I joined the healthcare field because it’s more about working with people,” Zhou said. “Everyone has a different personality, and working with all those personalities is like an art form. Some like to get as involved as possible with their health care, while some just want to hear their diagnosis and be through. I enjoy getting to know people and providing them with the best care possible.” The Zhou family-Jin, her husband Jason, son Andy and daughter Sophia-live in Iowa City. In her free time, Zhou enjoys spending time with her family and attending her children’s activities. She also enjoys cooking healthy Chinese meals. “I look forward to seeing familiar faces again from my clinicals here, as well as new faces I have never met before,” Zhou said.
Tri-County School Board discuss new security for school By CJ Eilers News Editor The Tri-County Board of Education met for their regular monthly meeting at Tri-County High on Monday, Nov. 21. Phelps is continuing to look for a new keycard security system for the school, and received a bid from Infrastructure Technology Solutions out of Monticello to place card readers on several doors in the high school and elementary for $11,000. Bids will continue to be collected. In addition, repairs were considered for the gym, band, weight room and preschool doors, all of which have been damaged over the years. The Board also discussed placing cameras on the school buses, with three or four cameras for each vehicle. Cameras would allow administrators to view any issues that took place on the bus or record any other vehicles endangering the bus for authorities later. After approving the agenda and the minutes of the October 17 meeting, Business Manager/Board Treasurer Stacey Kolars gave the financial report to the Board. General fund revenues for October were at $639,658.90, expenditures at $206, 359.83, and Kolars said the school was within its goals expenditure wise. The Board approved the resignation of Valerie Glover as High School Wrestling Cheer Coach, and hired her as High School Basketball Cheer Coach. Also hired were Bari Parrott as Junior High Girls’ Basketball Coach, Brandi Meyer as High School Wrestling Cheer Coach, Chad Little as Assistant
Girls High School Basketball Coach, and Wade Maxwell as High School Volunteer Girls’ Basketball Coach. Natalie Steinke and FFA Advisor discussed the Tri-County FFA trip to the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, IN last month. Steinke talked about several opportunities the students had on the trip, including touring Fair Oaks Farm, the career show at the convention, and judging the ag issue contest. The Board also visited with Tri-County Band Director Melanie Tygart about the recent donation of instruments and supplies from her former instructor Jim Garbercht. Tygart said the students are very pleased with the instruments and are working harder than ever. Tri-County received its numbers for certified enrollment for 2016, with a positive increase of certified students from 265 to 283 students. This number signifies actual enrollment in the school and not students by open enrollment. Superintendent Dennis Phelps commented that this number was encouraging and hopes to maintain strong numbers into the future. The Board approved to apply for additional spending authority from the School Budget Review Committee because of their increased enrollment, totaling $117, 978.90. This is not cash, but rather allowing more money to spend on students because increased enrollment.
Construction has begun at Sigourney BP for the addition of A & W.
A & W coming to Sigourney in early 2017 By CJ Eilers News Editor Sigourney BP has announced an A & W restaurant will be added on to the gas station, complete with a full menu, sit down or carry out options, and ice cold root beer made right in their new location. Crews have already begun working on the sign for the restaurant, and will be making renovations to the kitchen and sitting areas before opening A & W in late February or early March. The tentative hours will be 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Breakfast will still be served at BP, with a separate warmer being established. “This was a business opportuni-
ty I saw a good time for us,” Laurie Cobb, Vice President of Cobb Oil and owner of Sigourney BP said. “We feel [A & W] will fill a void in Sigourney that was present.” A & W will provide both a sitting area and will allow people to order carry out. The franchise’s full menu including burgers, chicken, pork tenderloins, fish sandwiches, shrimp will be available, along with a “sweets and treats area”, and will serve fresh root beer made in the restaurant. “We’re very excited to bring A & W to Sigourney and look forward to doing business with the local residents.”

Charlotte Kitzman
Charlotte Kitzman, 85, of Oskaloosa passed away Monday, November 21, 2016, at the MHP Hospice Services Serenity House in Oskaloosa. Charlotte Marie Kitzman was born on October 14, 1931, in Davenport, Iowa to Ole and Antonea (Johnsen) Iversen. She was the sixth of seven children; she had five sisters and one brother. Charlotte was baptized and confirmed at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Davenport and talked fondly of her friends and church activities as a teenager. She graduated from Davenport High School in 1949 and worked at the Annie Wittenmeyer Home as a bookkeeper. Charlotte met John W. Kitzman, originally from What Cheer, IA, when he rented an apartment across the street from the Iversen home. The two were married on December 22, 1951, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Davenport. They made their home in Davenport until John was drafted and entered the Army in 1953. Upon his discharge, the couple returned to south-central Iowa, where they farmed near Barnes City, Delta, Lancaster, and in the Sigourney area. The couple celebrated 50 years of marriage in 2001, and in 2003 they built a home in Oskaloosa, where they retired. Charlotte and John were active members of Hope Lutheran Church in Sigourney, and they were instrumental in building the church there. Prior to that, they were members of the Hedrick Lutheran church. Over the years, Charlotte served as church treasurer, taught Sunday School, led Luther League, sang in the choir and served in various other capacities, particularly enjoying women’s groups and activities. Most recently, she and John were members of St. John Lutheran Church in Oskaloosa. Charlotte’s faith was always the center of her life. John and Charlotte were parents of two sons, John William Kitzman II (Jack) and Steven Scott Kitzman. Jack and Pat Joachim Kitzman live in Oskaloosa, IA, and Steve and Jennifer Kitzman live in Gilman, IA. Beloved grandchildren include Alissa Kitzman, Fairfield, IA; Katie Kitzman Schutjer(and Derek Schutjer), Wesley, IA; Tyler Kitzman, Dover, DE, Jessica Kitzman, Clifton, NJ; and Blane Kitzman, Gilman, IA. Flowers and flower arranging were a favorite past-time for Charlotte—her flower beds were especially lovely and well-tended, and her arrangements at church, for weddings, and gifts were exquisite. She worked for a period of time at a flower shop in Sigourney. Keeping up with their grandchildren’s school, athletic and music activities was a major pastime for John and Charlotte. The couple also enjoyed travelling to Hawaii, Alaska, and Europe. John Kitzman died in 2009. In addition to her parents, Charlotte was preceded in death by her siblings: Laurense Knack, Christine Nickerson, Andrea Watkins, Anna Allen, John Iversen, and Maxine Buttrick. Prior to their deaths, Charlotte took special care of her sisters, Christine and Andrea. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Friday, November 25, 2016, at Hope Lutheran Church in Sigourney with Rev. Richard Meyer and Rev. Sam Beltz officiating. Burial will be in Garrett Cemetery in Keokuk County. Visitation will begin at 11 a.m., Wednesday, November 23, at Garland-Van Arkel-Langkamp Funeral Chapel; the family will be present from 3-6 p.m. to greet visitors. Memorials may be made to Hope Lutheran Church (Sigourney), St. John Lutheran Church (Oskaloosa), MHP Serenity House (Oskaloosa), or the Alzheimer’s Association. Memories and condolences may be sent to the family by visiting the online guestbook at gvlfuneralchapel.com.

She was born September 15, 1960, in Ottumwa, the daughter of Rex Harold and Dorothy Clingman Johnson. Karen graduated from Hedrick High School with the class of 1978. Following graduation Karen attended one year at Indian Hills. On November 25, 1978, she was united in marriage to Ivan Roquet at the Trinity Nazarene Church in Ottumwa. Following their marriage they moved to Des Moines. While living there, Karen worked as a secretary at Capital City Electric. After a few years the couple moved back to the family farm near Hedrick. Karen stayed home to care for her family and home. She also helped Ivan on the farm. When her children were of school age, she worked for a few years at Bank Iowa. Karen had also worked as a sales representative for Stampin’ Up! and Thirty-One Gifts. She enjoyed crafting, quilting, playing cards with friends, and planning parties. She looked forward to getting together with her family and friends. She delighted in seeing her grandchildren. Karen spent many hours helping her daughter and son-in-law at their restaurants in Ottumwa. Her family includes her husband of nearly 38 years, Ivan Roquet of rural Hedrick; two children and their spouses, Sabrina and Bubba Knapp of Hedrick and Eric and Katie Roquet of Muscatine; four grandchildren, Austin Knapp, Madison Knapp, Annie Knapp, and Sofie Roquet; two great grandchildren; her mother, Dorothy Johnson of Ottumwa; two sisters, Judy Kilmer of Ottumwa and Diane Hall of Denver, Colorado; two brothers, Lyle (Lorene) Johnson of Cheyenne, Wyoming and Dennis (Jeanine) Johnson of Allegan, Michigan; her step mother in law, Gladys Roquet of Ottumwa; and sister and brother in law, Leann and Gary Little of Houston, Texas; and many nieces and nephews.

EDITORIAL / L OCAL Just reminiscing
By Hilda Souer On September 3 and 4, 2016, the annual Delta Days were held. A parade was held on the first day to begin this annual event that began in 1975. Tractor and pickup pulls are the main event and held in the area that is part of the Delta Town and Country Center or the former football field. Other events take part in the former gymnasium of the Delta School. In addition to the parade, tractor and pickup pulls, there are also activities in the gymnasium and/or outdoor areas for adults and chil-
dren not involved in the pulls. A shelter adjacent to the field featuring the tractor pulls has sandwiches and soft drinks available and also in the gymnasium’s kitchen. This weekend event concludes on Sunday with a worship service downtown near the replica of Delta’s historic covered bridge. Note: this was first held near the historic bridge and park prior to being lost due to arson. These two special Delta Days were first held in the year 1976 on the weekend following Labor Day.
Klein Re-Elected House Majority Assistant Leader This week, Rep. Jarad Klein (R-Keota) was re-elected by fellow House Republicans as a House Majority Assistant Leader. “I am honored and humbled to be elected by my peers to serve as an Assistant Leader for our caucus,” said Rep. Klein. “I am excited for the upcoming session where House Republicans will continue to create job opportunities, reduce burdensome regulations on Iowa businesses, and balance the budget by spending less than the state collects. I would also like to thank my constituents in House District 78 for the honor of representing them in my caucus and in the Iowa House.” Rep. Klein was just elected to serve his fourth term in the Iowa House. He has served as an Assistant Leader since 2013.
Rep. Jarad Klein (R-Keota) When not serving in the Legislature, Klein is a family farmer and small business owner in Keota, where he lives with his wife, Rachel. Jarad and Rachel have four children.
Lawsuit against Paws-N-Claws pending in District Court By CJ Eilers News Editor A lawsuit between the City of Hedrick and Paws-N-Claws Rescue and Rehab is pending in the District Court for Temporary and Permanent Injuction against PawsN-Claws. This comes after more than a year of ongoing issues with the business, located in a residential area of Hedrick. Last year in November, owner Aimee Crow was cited on a Municipal Infraction when one of the dogs ran across the deck of a neighbors yard. Then in May of this year, another dog described as “not naturally tame or gentle, and which is of a wild nature or disposition”
attacked a beagle on E. 3rd Street in Hedrick, leading to Simple Misdemeanor charge. Crowe was sent a discovery: a set of questions that had to be answered by mid November. Questions involved if the owner had a license of business by the state, location of business and why they feel they aren’t violating the Hedrick Ordinance. Wehr encouraged nearby residents to record times when disturbances from the dogs occur and build up evidence. The petition for permanent injunction would ban the business from being in Hedrick. The City of Hedrick is waiting for a court date to be determined.
County awards bid to replace 170th Street bridge outside What Cheer By CJ Eilers News Editor The Keokuk County Highway Department awarded a bid to replace the bridge on 170th Street five miles east of What Cheer in March of next year, according to County Engineer Andrew McGuire. McGuire presented bids to the Board of Supervisors during their regular meeting on Monday, Nov. 21, having received two bids and awarding Herberger Construction Company out of Indianola the contract for $143,212. Crews will begin working on the bridge in March of next year. The current bridge will remain open and serviceable, yet is considered deficient by the county. The county already has much of the material for the substructure
of the bridge collected. Herberger Construction will provide the rest of the material and hope to finish by June. Herberger Construction will have 40 working days, depending on weather conditions. McGuire also stated that Herberger is planning on potentially finishing a bridge replacement project on 195th Street in Washington Township, located in section 23 and more than a mile east from Highway 21. The company has already demolished the bridge and built the substructure, and have communicated they will form the deck of the new bridge on Saturday, before winter weather rolls in. If Herberger does not finish their work this fall, they will continued in the spring of 2017.
FSA reminds farmers/ranchers of upcoming deadline Annually producers MUST report fall seeded crops such as wheat and rye and perennial forage crops such as alfalfa, clover, mixed hay and pasture. These crops must be reported to the FSA office by Dec. 15, 2016 to avoid late-filing fees. Late filing fees can be as much as $46.00 per farm.
County Office employees are in the process of contacting farmers who we know have had the above mentioned crops in the past. If you have a new seeding, please contact the Keokuk County Office at 641622-2800 to ask about your reporting requirements.
Tales of the Ancient Sportsman By Burdell Hensley Goodbye Summer, hello Winter! I definitely was not ready for this. Maybe I should say that I along with most everyone else had been severely spoiled. We left Branson Friday morning with sunshine and 60 degree temperatures. With every stop as we proceeded to the north, we noticed a sharp decline in global warming. By the time we arrived in Oskaloosa, the wind was howling and the wind chill must have been zero. By the time I got my last travelers unloaded in Newton, it was worse. The only good thing I could see was that on the way home from Newton, I used very little gas as I had a huge tailwind all the way. Our tour to Branson was one of the best we have ever done. It started with “Moses” at Sight and Sound Theatre and that was incredible. We made it across the Red Sea and didn’t even get wet. The next morning it was “All Hands on Deck”, a 1942 radio show at the Dutton Theatre. It was a very patriotic show and a trip down memory lane. The afternoon found us in the Welk theatre for the Daniel O’Donnell show. Daniel sings music that I can understand and the variety is great. I guess I would have to say that he speaks well to my generation. In the evening we were at the Baldknobbers show and we were able to visit with Megan Mabe, who used to be Megan McCombs from Pella. She is one of the lead singers and is married to Brandon Mabe, the MC of the show. On Thursday we started the day with “Twice Adopted,” a Gospel music show by a family of 10 adopted children from Guatemala, Columbia and the US. Only seven of the children are with the show now as the older ones have other jobs. Their show was very inspiring. At lunch time we were in downtown Branson. We also had some time to shop and most of us found Dick’s 5 & 10. If they don’t have it, you don’t need it and most of what they do have, you don’t need either. I have been doing tours to Branson for 17 years, and the next place we visited was new to me. College of the Ozarks was overbooked and could not take us, so my receptive suggested Dogwood Canyon. Wow! What a beautiful place. The waterfalls in the canyon were so impres-
Tales of the Ancient Sportsman By Burdell Hensley Columnist sive and our tram tour took us right up to Whitetail Deer, Elk, Buffalo and Longhorn Steers. The streams in the canyon were filled with trout and one pool contained Golden Rainbow Trout. They were not like gold fish, but were yellow in color. After the tram tour, we were treated to a cookout at the chuck wagon and a little time around the campfire. The fact that it was 70 degrees made this a really nice experience. While we were away, the State Championship Football games were played and I kept abreast of what was going on by way of my dumb phone. It appears that Bob Howard’s Webster City team gave Pella a tussle, but Pella pulled out a 28-18 win for their 41st consecutive win and their third consecutive state title. Congrats to Coach Jay McKinstrey and the Little Dutch. It is basketball time and girls play has gotten underway. A few area games were played this past weekend. North Mahaska rolled past Tri-County 74 – 31 on Friday and Saturday evening Pella Christian topped Van Meter 56-43. More games will be played this week and then following Thanksgiving the boys will get into the action. Thanksgiving is a very special time for families and the Ancient-ess and I hope to be able to spend some time with grandkids over the weekend. All of us have so much to be thankful for this year. We have been blessed with a beautiful fall and a bountiful harvest. And now that the election is past except for the crying, I am pleased that my remote is still working. I told you last week that the micro-film at the library is not available for anything from 1968 on back until after the first of the year. So I have decided to do the history section for 45 years ago, 25 years ago and 15 years ago. Let’s see what I have found. 45 years ago: Nov. 29, 1971 – Osky stomps Grinnell 73-31. Bill Barnhouse led a balanced Indian attack with 19 points. Dave Rouw added 13
points while Chuck Converse added 11 and Jon Hanna scored 10 points. Nov. 29 – Tri-County sweeps Fremont. 30 points by Ron Denison led the T-C boys to a 74-68 win. Fremont was led by Dave Hibler with 20 points and Ray Witzenburg with 17. The T-C girls rolled to a 86-51 win as Bonnie Foster poured in 41 points. Tricia Moore led Fremont with 16 points. Dec. 1 – Sigourney girls beat Iowa Valley 79-74 with Pat Joachim scoring 39 points and Amy Marget adding 36. The Savages took a 75-64 win with Don Arduser scoring 26 points. Dec. 1 – A free throw with two seconds left by Dan Huyser gave Pella Christian a 75-74 win over Johnston. Dan Jonker led the Eagles with 21 points. 25 years ago: Dec. 1, 1991 – The Pella Christian girls got past Osky 58-55 in overtime. Tara Bandstra led the Eagles with 21 points and Kendra Vander Wilt added 20 points. Deanne Fick led the Indians with 29 points. Dec. 4 – The Eddyville girls shocked Moravia 66-65. A bucket by Heidi Blizzard with 23 seconds left was the winner. Blizzard led the Rockets with 28 points and Jennifer Harter added 23. 15 years ago: Nov. 28, 2001 – Pella Christian takes two from Chariton. The girls blasted the Chargers 6825 with five players scoring eight points or more. Andrea Christensen led the way with 13 points while Lindsey Van Wyk and Mindy Vos each scored nine points. The PC boys posted a 62-51 win as David Klyn and Tim Zwiers each scored 13 points. Kyel Sletten and Ryan Groenenboom were next in line with 12 points apiece. Nov. 28 – The North Mahaska girls topped Keota 49-33. Angie Lloyd led the Warhawks with 17 points while Sarah Ryan and Megan Ryan each scored eight points. Dec. 3 – 24 points by Grant Stout and 22 by Trevor Harkema led North Mahaska to a 77-47 win over Keota. Derek Greiner led the Eagles with 21 points and Luke Jager added 12. Dec. 3 – Eddyville’s Ryan Reed won the 152 pound title and Matt Adreon took gold at 160 points at the Bondurant-Farrar Wrestling tourney. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and remember that family and friends are the chocolate chips in the cookie of life.
FSA County Committee Election The election of responsible agricultural producers to FSA county committees is important to ALL farmers and ranchers with large or small operations. It is crucial that every eligible producer take part in this election because county committees are a direct link between the farm community and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Committee members are a critical component of the day-to-day operations of FSA. They help deliver FSA farm programs at the local level. Farmers who serve on committees
help decide the kind of programs their counties will offer. They work to make FSA agricultural programs serve the needs of local producers. USDA encourages farmers and ranchers to make their voices heard by voting in the upcoming Farm Service Agency (FSA) County Committee elections. FSA began mailing ballots on Monday, Nov. 7, 2016. Producers must return ballots to their local FSA offices by Dec. 5, 2016, to ensure that their vote is counted. Producers must participate or co-
operate in an FSA program to be eligible to vote in the county committee election. Farmers and ranchers who supervise and conduct the farming operations of an entire farm, but are not of legal voting age, also may be eligible to vote. This year farmers and ranchers in Prairie, Adams, English River, Washington and Van Buren Townships will be voting for a representative to serve on the Keokuk County FSA Board. Ballots will be counted on Dec. 8, 2016 at 9:00 am at the Keokuk County FSA Office.

UMC Youth chill outside for homelessness awareness By CJ Eilers News Editor Saturday night marked on of the coldest nights thus far this fall, so naturally the United Methodist Church Youth Group camped outside in cardboard boxes held together by nothing but duct tape and an hour’s worth of work. Approximately 29 youth and three brave adults slept outside in the cold conditions for National Hunger & Homelessness Week, held each year the week before Thanksgiving. Participating junior and senior high students
and their families put together the makeshift shelters from large boxes beginning around 5 p.m. and finished an hour later. A soup supper fundraiser was held in the basement of the church, where the courageous souls got one final hot meal before bundling up again to spend the night outside in their cardboard homes. The group also packaged 12,960 meals earlier that day in the church basement for those in need of food this season. This was the 11th year the United Methodist Church has done these events.

By CJ Eilers News Editor When you spend money at any of Iowa’s numerous casinos, the money winds up back into the community in one form or another. Since its creation in 2005, the Keokuk County Community Endowment Foundation (KCCEF) has provided thousands of dollars back to the county for various projects and remodels that benefit the communities. KCCEF was created when new state legislation dictated that every county should receive a percentage of gambing from the state’s casinos, rather than just the counties that had one. Counties were to createe a foundation to accept and channel the funds through. Each year, KCCEF receives anywhere from $75,000 to $100,000 from the state. Laurie Luettjohann was chosen as chair of the organization, which consists of a board of directors rep-
resenting every community in Keokuk County. Together, the board of directors considers applications submitted by non-profit organizations or city/county government projects in need of funds. Projects and needs include street improvements, lighting, repairs for the fair and expo buildings, computers for schools, and fire department equipment. Chosen applicants are provided no more than $5,000 through KCCEF’s pass through grant program. “Our members are dedicated to the communities that they live in and get to help others who feel the same,” Luettjohann said. “We try and balance the funds as evenly as possible to each city in the county through things such as law enforcement and service organizations such as fire dept and civic groups, hospice and hospitals, senior housing and meals, and the cities themselves to help support building of sidewalks

Over the past few meetings, members have discussed what they can do with their permanent endowment fund, which is money they save each year as a backup fund and eventually for larger projects after reaching a certain amount. “We are trying to think of a new fund that will impact the community outside of the work we are already accomplishing,” Luettjohann said. “One option we are considering is setting up a scholarship fund for each of the five area schools, but we have been advised to think of other options since all these students are likely leaving the county for their education. We need to consider how to keep this money in the area.”

LIFE THROUGH A LENS
A Historical Perspective Harper
By CJ Eilers News Editor This is the penultimate installment of our weekly look at the various towns in Keokuk County and the surrounding areas. We will look at the unique history of the towns, as well as compare and contrast the then and now for each town. This will be a collaborative effort from all of us here at The News-Review and Keota Eagle. We hope it will provide a great insight into the towns that make up our communities. As the wheel of industry chugged along, so did the railroad into Keokuk County. The Rock Island Railroad entered the county in the 1870 with great promise, and many communities scrambled to have even one line pass through. Others towns, on the other hand, found themselves just outside the railroad’s might reach, and became extinct within years. Meanwhile, new towns began to sprout from the seed that was the railroad, including an area to the west of Keota. A small town called Baden anticipated the Rock Island line to pass through their tiny community, but was missed by a mile and a half. Baden quickly fell into obscurity, while the community of Harper came to be from the shadow of the railroad. Harper was officially incorporated in 1879, seven years after the Rock Island line was completed through to Sigourney via Washington. Levi Whistler, an early settler of Lafayette Township, was the first man to bring a business to then unnamed area. Whistler was born in Shenandoah County, Virginia and was a dealer of prescription drugs, stationeries and other goods. He was also a great admirer of “Harpers Weekly”, a magazine published by the Harper Brothers out of New York, and chose to name the new community after the publication. When the Harper Brothers learned of the town’s existence, they donated funds towards the erection the

Teacher of the Week
By Brooke Donald and Sloane Magill We sent out a poll to all of the junior and high school students. It was a list of all the teachers. It asked them to vote on who they think should be “Teacher of the Week.” There were 164 total re-
sponses and Mr. Crawford won with 37 votes. We asked him how he felt about being “Teacher of the Week”. He answered, “I feel it’s a real honor to be selected by our students. We have a lot of great teachers here at SHS so to be selected is very humbling.”
High School Upgrades 2016/2017
by CJ Witkowski There is a minor construction project happening at the high school. The main front entrance of the school is getting a face lift. The cement right outside both main doors is being replaced because some students have slipped and injured themselves. There was even a student who broke his leg. Another project that is going to take place later this year is the track. Construction will start the spring of 2017. In addition to a new track, the school will also be adding a science lab and new science rooms. This will start on the last day of school. You can expect these renovations to be finished by the school year next year.

telling me about his car and had said that the brakes went out twice on him while driving in town. The hub cap is an issue because it fell off not too long ago. As well as the hub cap his breaks have been making some weird sounds lately.
By Luke Hames This is the third installment in my series of reviews of the notorious ‘As Seen On TV’ products, and this week we’ll be looking at the infamous ‘Shake Weight’. I like to think of this product as a newborn giraffe - unstable in the beginning, and rather awkward the rest of its life. This modified dumb bell’s purpose is to engage the muscles in the arms, shoulders, and back, increasing upper body muscles by 300%, opposed to regular free weights. Ok, let’s address the large elephant in the room - this product has been drowned in a sea of laughter because of the imagery that it conjures up in the minds of today’s youth. Let’s all forget this product ever existed.

Cale Jarmes- Sigourney’s Artist of the Month.
Artist of the Month
By Avery Moore This month our artist of the month is a very talented young man, Mr. Cale Jarmes. Cale is the son of the local legend, Gary and Jaci Jarmes.. Cale was named Sigourney’s Artist of the Month. When asked if any artist has in-
f luenced Cale’s work, he simply replied, “Nope, I just go with the f low. I usually don’t know what I am drawing until I am finished.” I guess you could say that Cale’s laid back personality is ref lected in his art. His favorite piece of work he has created is a painting of a ret-
ro pair of Air Jordan shoes. When asked about the painting he said, “This one is by far my favorite, I don’t know why, but it just kind of looks cool.” Cale is very deserving of this award and has a bright future ahead of him artistically and academically.
The Question of the Week by Heather Cline The question of the week was: “Are you happy with who won the election for president. Jessica Meier said,”Mr. Trump was not my choice for president, but that’s
the cool thing about living in a democracy. We get to choose.” Drew Bahlmann said,“ Nope, but to be honest, I didn’t want either one to win. Bernie Sanders was my homeboy.” Charles Witkows-
ki said,“ Yes because he is going to make America great again in my eyes.” Lannie Palmer said, “I’m not happy with Trump being elected because I don’t agree with his ideas. “

Steel Effort Brings Oohs and Aahs
By RD KEEP The Sun NEW SHARON – Anyone sitting in the North Mahaska gymnasium Friday was aah-mazed at what they saw, including North Mahaska girls coach LE Moore and Tri-County’s Chad Little. North Mahaska freshman Kassidi Steel established a new freshman scoring record pouring in 40 points to lead the Warhawks to a 74-31 victory. Tri-County senior Michaela Lundy had a respectable 23 points, but could not match the output of Steel. “I was extremely nervous,” said Steel. “I didn’t know what to expect with my first high school basketball game. It’s all my teammates. If they hadn’t done their job on defense I wouldn’t have been able to score the points. Coach Little said it was quite a show to watch. “I really felt sorry for the girl I put on her,” said Little. “She didn’t play that bad, Steel was just on tonight.” Tri-County’s Katlyn Little hit the first bucket of the night 13 seconds into the game, but it was the last lead for the Trojans. Steel hit a pair of short jumpers, a layup and a
Lundy going strong to the hoop. 3-pointer to jump out to a 9-5 lead. The Warhawks defense forced turnovers and limited TC to two points in the final four and a half minutes. Steel hit a trey with 2 seconds left for her 17th point of the game. She was limited to two points in the second quarter, but her teammates

Tri-County in using Lundy and Little. “Lundy’s a good player and she’s going to get her points,” said Moore. “She’s a tough handle for a lot of teams. We knew if we could keep doing what we do best on defense, push the transition game and play as a team, we could come out on top.”

Tri-County’s defense forced the Warhawks to work more on the perimeter than they wanted to, but that opened up NM’s long ball. “I was supposed to play the post, but the way it played out I had to come out as an outlet,” said Steel. “My teammates did their job and we
came away with a team W.” Coach Little said there was not a lot different a team can do when the other team is hitting that well. He said you play the game and try to do what you are able to do. Tri-County was held to single-digit scoring in three quarters and gave up 25 points in two different quarters. Moore was a bit wary entering the season opener. “I wondered how we would come out with a bunch of freshmen on the court,” said Moore. “That group of girls is pretty seasoned. We wanted to push transition because we are much faster than most teams. Good first game for us. The young kids are making everyone on the court better. My older players love it because we can go sideline to sideline. “This team is very deep and they love to play hard. They go 32 minutes and that is what we have been looking for. We are very fortunate to have this group of girls coming through. My seniors are leading the way and the juniors helping out.”
