Judge dismisses voter misconduct, perjury charges for Rinard felon who voted By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Mark Hennings didn’t dispute that he cast a ballot in the November 2015 Rinard city elections. Hennings, who lives in Rinard, testified on his own behalf Nov. 29, during a brief trial before District Court Judge Kurt Wilke at the Calhoun County Courthouse. But, Hennings said, he told precinct workers that he had been convicted of a felony, and thought an order by former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack had restored his rights. Wilke dismissed a perjury charge, which alleged Hennings knowingly signed an oath that he was eligible to vote when he was not, and a voter misconduct charge, because he was a felon without voting rights who cast a ballot. Wilke pointed to lan-

guage Hennings used at the voting precinct, in which he indicated he thought his rights had been restored, but didn’t say definitively that they had been. “That leaves a little gray area,” Wilke said. “My feeling is, in our jury instructions, we always talk about reasonable doubt. If you’re unsure, that’s reasonable doubt. That’s how I feel about this case.” Both charges were Class D felonies. Charles Schulte, Hennings’ attorney, argued Hennings didn’t intentionally commit either crime. Hennings, 35, was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon and committing a hate crime in 2008, after he struck a black teenager with his car. Hennings served five years in prison for the crime. In 2005, Vilsack issued an announcement that he would restore the rights of felons once they exited prison; Gov. Terry Branstad

reversed that order when he returned to office in 2011. Hennings testified that he doesn’t read well, and when he went to vote, he was handed a card that indicated he could vote, even as a felon, if his voting rights had been restored. The precinct worker he spoke with, Helen Schroeder, called the Calhoun County Auditor’s Office the day of the election, to see how to proceed, after Hennings said he wanted to vote and was a felon. Schroeder spoke with Deputy Auditor Karen Norine, who noted their conversation in a written log kept during each election. Norine, reviewing her notes from last year, said she told Schroeder to let Hennings vote if his rights had been restored. When Norine entered Hennings’ address and birth date into the state voter registration database, she discovered he was not eligible to vote. The charges stemmed from that discovery.

Iowa Central celebrates 50 years with bond request By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Not long after smaller colleges in Fort Dodge, Eagle Grove and Webster City were combined to form Iowa Central Community College, Shirlee Ashbaugh of Rockwell City decided it was time to earn the college degree she had wanted for years. “When we got married, my husband was still a student in veterinary school,” Ashbaugh told The Graphic-Advocate during a recent interview. “He wanted me to go to Iowa State.” She became pregnant with the first of the couple’s four children and didn’t begin her degree then; she waited until the youngest child entered school, then she and a friend signed up for a psychology class at Iowa Central, which had just one building on its campus at the time, maybe a year or so after it opened

in 1966. In fact, Ashbaugh said, the class she took was located at Fort Dodge Senior High School, because the college campus only had one building at the time. That first class kicked off years of association with the community college, first as a student, then as an employee. Ashbaugh took as many classes as she could at ICCC before transferring to Buena Vista University in Storm Lake to finish her degree in elementary education. “It’s been a fantastic college,” Ashbaugh said. “It was so much harder than going to Buena Vista. I think the classes at Iowa Central were superior.” Ashbaugh ref lected on her time at ICCC a week before residents of nine counties, including Calhoun, were set to vote on a $29.5 million bond issue to fund infrastructure improvements at ICCC’s campuses. The vote was set for Tuesday. Results will be in the Dec. 14 edition of The Graphic-Advocate.

Hennings also testified that he asked for a provisional ballot, though he had a difficult time pronouncing the word and said he wasn’t entirely certain what it was. Voters who aren’t certain of their eligibility to vote may request a provisional ballot, which is kept separate from other ballots. A specially appointed commission reviews provisional ballots and determines whether the ballot can be accepted or not, Norine said. Norine and Schroeder both testified they could not prohibit Hennings from voting, because voting is a constitutionally protected activity. That right does not extend to having one’s vote counted, they added. “The ultimate decision to vote that day was Mr. Hennings’,” Calhoun County Attorney Tina Meth Farrington said in her argument, adding Wilke should convict the Rinard resident.

brary. He touted plans to expand the career academy program, which would be funded by the bond, as well as the college’s steady enrollment numbers. “It’s important we start exposing students to career pathways even as early as junior high,” Kinney said, explaining that with more career academies, school districts can start encouraging students to considering what careers they would like to pursue. “We’re the number one penetrating community college in the state of Iowa in our high schools.” This region of Iowa has more than 1,000 unfilled jobs, positions employers say they cannot fill without properly trained employees. As ICCC attracts more students from across the state, local businesses will get the first shot at hiring those graduates for positions here, Kinney said. Nationally, community colleges lost about 20 percent of their enrollment since 2008. That hasn’t happened for Iowa Central, though, he added. Some of the students who are no longer attending community colleges are headed to four-year universities. Kinney said when he first started at ICCC, the state’s three public universities didn’t try to recruit Iowa high schoolers. Today, those colleges are recruiting heavily. “Some (of the lost enrollment numbers across the country) aren’t going anywhere,” Kinney added. Kinney said colleges in Iowa need to keep an eye on their costs to students. State schools in Nebraska and Kansas are significantly cheaper than Iowa’s – enough lower per credit hour to entice students to go out of state. One class in Kansas costs the same as one credit hour at ICCC, he said. That’s mostly attributed to how state colleges are funded here. When ICCC opened in the late 1960s, a majority of the funding came from state sources. Today, Kinney said, most of the revenues come from student fees.

Feds won’t issue pipeline permit in North Dakota By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor After months of protests by Native Americans and their allies in North Dakota, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Sunday it won’t issue a permit for Dakota Access to cross under a lake that provides water to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The decision halts construction on the pipeline, which was set to bring oil from North Dakota through Iowa to a port in Illinois. The Department of the Army will not approve an easement that would allow the pipeline to cross under Lake Oahe in North Dakota, JoEllen Darcy, the Army’s Assistant Secretary for Civil Works, said in a statement issued Sunday. “Although we have had continuing discussion and exchanges of new information with the Standing Rock Sioux and Dakota Access, it’s clear that there’s more work to do,” Darcy said. “The best way to complete that work responsibly and expeditiously is to explore alternate routes for the pipeline crossing.” To that end, Darcy said the corps will complete an Environmental Impact Statement, with the full public input that entails. Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault II praised the decision in a statement released Sunday. “We wholeheartedly support the decision of the administration and commend with the utmost gratitude the courage it took on the part of President Obama, the Army Corps, the Department of Justice and the Department of the Interior to take steps to correct the course of history and to do the right thing,” Archambault said. “Throughout this effort I have stressed the importance of acting at all times in a peaceful and prayerful manner – and that is how we will respond to this decision. With this decision we look forward to being able to return home and spend the winter with our families and loved ones, many of whom have sacrificed as well. We look forward to celebrating in wopila, in thanks, in the coming days.” Archambault thanked the people across the country who supported tribe members who had encamped near the construction site. Some protesters have been injured in conflicts with Dakota Access’ security officials and with local law enforcement agents; the violence peaked in November, when law enforcement officials turned water cannons on protesters on a freezing night. Archambault said he hoped to see the tribe members’ relationship with local law enforcement officers improve. “To our local law enforcement, I hope that we can work together to heal our relationship as we all work to protect the lives and safety of our people,” he said “I recognize the extreme stress that the situation caused and look forward to a future that reflects more mutual understanding and respect.” The tribe had protested the pipeline in part because of concerns about the proximity of the pipeline to its water sources. Tribe officials said they were not properly consulted by federal officials before construction began, and that the construction was being done in violation of a treaty between the tribe and the federal government more than 100 years ago. “Treaties are paramount law and must be respected, and we welcome dialogue on how to continue to honor that moving forward,” Archambault said. “We are not opposed to energy independence, economic development, or national security concerns but we must ensure that these decisions are made with the considerations of our indigenous peoples.”

Volunteer steps down from baby cap deliveries after two decades By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor

“I was a beauty operator for 25 years,� Buttolph said. “I guess I have to keep my hands busy. I have never sat down without something in my hands.� She said she inherited that trait from her mother. “My mother tatted and crocheted,� she said. “That’s what my mother did in the evening, listening to the radio.� Buttolph had to stop crocheting, though, because of a condition that developed in her neck, the result of years of looking down at her hands to work. “I’ve got tendonitis and arthritis in my neck,� she said. Buttolph, who was the fifth gen-

Lois Buttolph of Rockwell City didn’t really know what Facebook was, but her grandson recently showed her some messages sent through the social media site. The messages said the senders still had the baby caps Buttolph crocheted and donated to Stewart Memorial Community Hospital’s obstetrics ward. Buttolph, who is 92, recently delivered her last batch of the pastel-colored hats to the hospital, bringing her tally to 640 total hats. She began crocheting the hats several years ago.

Over the years, she has been involved with the Good Sam Club camping chapters in Fort Dodge and Storm Lake. She made hats for children with developmental disabilities in northwestern Iowa. In 2015, she received a Governor’s Volunteer Award from Gov. Terry Branstad, recognizing her for her years of service. Buttolph’s grown children now live across the country – Roger is in Washington state, Duff travels fulltime in a recreational vehicle, doing volunteer work in parks, and daughter Linda lives in Des Moines. Stewart Memorial Community Hospital’s obstetrics director, Jenni Macke, told The Graphic-Advocate she still has the hats she received when her own children were born. “From what I’ve heard, new parents absolutely love these homemade hat,� Macke said in an email. “Being a new parent at SMCH (16, 23, and

Grants bring faster internet speeds to Rockwell City library By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Internet connection speeds are about to pick up at the Rockwell City Public Library. A protracted process came to a culmination last week, when a crew began the final steps to install the fiberoptic cable. Library patrons should be noticing faster download and upload speeds by the end of the year, Librarian Denise Pohl said Friday. “We needed to do something to keep up with the demand on our internet,� Pohl said. “Someone recommended the (Iowa Communications Network), which is fiber. We were thinking long-term and trying to keep up with technology and its

changes.� Many days, internet users can see as the connection slows down, Pohl said, particularly as more users log on. Right now, the library gets about 1 megabyte of download speed. With the ICN line, that should increase to 6 megabytes, with the potential to go faster if the need presents itself, and if funding becomes available. ICN provides fiberoptic internet connections to school, hospitals, sheriff’s departments and libraries across the state. With grants from the Rockwell City Rotary Club, the Calhoun County Community Foundation, the Roy. J. Carver Charitable Foundation and the Rockwell City Library Foundation, library officials came up with the roughly $20,000 needed to bore the route for the cable and have the fiberoptic line installed.

Speaker encourages South Central Calhoun students to avoid pornography By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor In the late 19th Century, advertisers touted the use of cocaine drops to ease toothache pain. In the early part of the 20 th Century, beer makers claimed drinking their brew benefitted nursing moms and infants. Just 60 years ago, cigarette manufacturers would place colorful ads in magazines showing what percentage of doctors preferred their brands. All of those seem ridiculous to modern audiences, though, speaker and writer Robbie Tripp told South Central Calhoun Middle School students Thursday morning. “Back then, we didn’t know any better,� Tripp said, explaining why people accepted that the substances were safe as advertised. “We didn’t have the experience, we didn’t have the science.� The same goes for pornography, which Tripp said too many people treat as a private, harmless activity. With the advent of the internet, and even more with the invention of internet-connected cell phones, pornography is far easier to access now than even 30 years ago, he said.

Tripp spoke at the middle school and the high school, as well as with community members, on behalf of the antipornography organization Fight the New Drug, which is using studies to show how pornography is as addictive as narcotics and other unhealthy behaviors. “We now have the science and research to show how harmful this is,� Tripp said. Much like with using drugs, viewing pornography activates a number of brain chemicals, stimulating the brain’s pleasure centers. And, like with drug use, “we actually start to build up a dependency to these chemicals and that release,� Tripp said. “It actually changes and rewires the way the brain works.� Tripp said organization officials interviewed one drug addict who also developed a pornography addiction. For that man, it was easier to stop using drugs than stop using pornography, because even if he wasn’t actively seeking out pornographic images, he still had the memory of the images in his head, that he could think about any time. Viewing pornography is also bad for relationships, Tripp said, citing another survey in which one group was shown no pornographic material and a second group was regularly

exposed to such images. “The (second) group reported a significant decrease in satisfaction in real relationships,â€? he said. “They trained and conditioned their brains to only be excited ‌ when they were alone with a phone or a screen. Porn kills love. It makes it extremely difficult to be in a relationship.â€? Much like society has come to understand that cocaine isn’t a good way to relieve tooth pain, that alcohol isn’t safe for babies and that doctors shouldn’t be recommending patients smoke cigarettes, Tripp said he hopes today’s students are the generation to normalize the idea that pornography is unsafe, too. “I think we can be the generation that understands the science and the facts,â€? Tripp said, encouraging the students to take a stand against pornography. “This is not cool. This is not normal. This is not natural.â€? Fight the New Drug sends speakers to about 400 schools annually. A group of Calhoun County Public Health officials, school representatives, community volunteers and clergy funded the group’s programs this week. More information about the research behind Tripp’s presentation is available at fightthenewdrug.org.

Empty Nest By Curt Swarm Little Food Bank Matthew 6:1 Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. No, it’s not a Book Loaner Box, although it looks like it could be one. On the west end of Madison Street in Mt. Pleasant, next to the street, is a free Little Food Bank, like a grocery store on a stick. People in need of food or a few other essentials are encouraged to take what they need, 24/7. People are also encouraged to contribute items. Goods found in the Little Food Bank are cereal, soup, toilet paper, vegetables, peanut butter, etc. On the glass face of the Little Food Bank, its purpose is clearly stated, “Take what you need, Give what you can. Above All, Be BLESSED.� The builders of the Little Food Bank wish to remain anonymous, following Matthew 6:1. They just want to be able to help people in need, just as they were helped at various times in their lives. One of the builders, a single parent with two children, remembers receiving food baskets at Christmas and Thanksgiving. The Little Food Bank has been in existence for a while, and has had some use, but not near enough. There have been FaceBook postings, and word of mouth, but the owners would like to see the free service utilized more than it has. One of the owners would like nothing more than to have to go and buy food items to restock the pantry. Not so unusual, the item taken the most from the Little Food Bank, has been toilet paper.

WHAT’S HAPPENING Friday, December 16: J.J. Hands Library Christmas Open House @ 5:30 p.m.

Unlike other Community Food Pantries, this one is available around the clock, no questions asked, take what you need. The builders of the Little Food Bank point out that “food insecurity� has been on a steady rise in Henry County, even though the poverty level has been decreasing. They are going to make fliers to be distributed to churches and other public places. The word needs to get out, and you can help. The Little Food Bank is quite a nice looking box, very well constructed, and decorated professionally. If I

needed food, I wouldn’t hesitate to use it. I also wouldn’t hesitate to contribute. Drive by the west end of Madison St. and take a look for yourself. There are people, a lot of people in this world, who care and are willing to extend themselves. God bless these people and the work they do. Pass the blessings along! Have a good story? Call or text Curt Swarm in Mt. Pleasant at 319217-0526, email him at curtswarm@ yahoo.com or find him on FaceBook. Curt’s stories are also read at 106.3 FM in Farmington.

Kids dish best holiday cooking tips By Erin Sommers Graphic-Advocate Editor Bet we e n T h a n k sg iv i ng a nd Christmas, Americans have entered the holiday eating season. Last week, first-grade students in Sherry Ricke’s class at South Central Calhoun Elementary School began talking about nutrition, and offered their takes on how to help prepare traditional holiday fare. Hayden Holm’s favorite holiday dish is green bean casserole. To make it, she said, “you get green beans and casserole and you mix them together and cook them.� What’s in casserole? “No idea,� Holm said. David Legore said he isn’t a fan of green bean casserole. When he

started listing the traditional foods he does like, though, the result was a well-rounded menu that would please almost anyone. “Corn with butter, peas, broccoli, mashed potatoes, ham, turkey,� he said. Corn is an easy one to cook, he added. “There is a can and you dump it in a pan and then you cook it,� Legore said. He also offered this tip for making cheesy mashed potatoes – just add cheese to regular mashed potatoes. Emery Kramer helped make deviled eggs. “You get the boiled egg, you cut them in half,� she said. “Get the yolk out and you mix it together. You put it back in the egg.� On top, she said, was a spice, but

she couldn’t recall the name. Paprika, maybe? Yes, she said. Max Hardy said he didn’t do much of the cooking for Thanksgiving – that job fell to his mom. But he did describe how to cook a turkey. “You put it in the oven,â€? he said. Cole Judisch agreed that cooking the turkey is a tough job. His contribution this year, he said, was helping make a cherry and chocolate pie. “You roll up the dough, you flatten out the sides,â€? he said, adding the filling goes in, then more dough on top. Judisch said he also liked to help make candy. “We find some dough,â€? he said. “We find this mold. Then we ‌ spread food on it.â€? The candy comes in rectangle, triangle, circle and diamond shapes, or can look like Christmas trees, he said. “It’s fun and a lot of work,â€? he added. The students were especially excited to offer tales of cooking gone wrong, though it seemed none of the stories were from this year’s Thanksgiving celebration. Many said a family member’s cooking had triggered a smoke alarm, at least once. Fixes for that type of situation ranged from turning off the alarm to grabbing a fire extinguisher. Korie Kraft said she was allowed to cut fruit for a fruit pie, which she described as having blueberries, pineapples, strawberries and grapes, kind of like a fruit pizza. For Taylen Secory, it’s just not a holiday spread without Jello, he said. An avid baker, he also helps make pie, cookies and a caramel dessert. Kase Kraft said he loves pumpkin pie, but he doesn’t cook. “My mom cooks,â€? he said. “I play outside.â€?

SMCH receives 2017 Women’s Choice Award as one of America’s best hospitals for obstetrics Stewart Memorial Community Hospital recently earned the 2017 Women’s Choice Award as one of America’s Best Hospitals for Obstetrics. This places SMCH among the top 15 percent of hospitals considered the best in which to have a baby. Approximately 400 hospitals nationwide met the award’s robust evidence-based criteria that consider female patient satisfaction data, clinical excellence and feedback from women about what they want from a hospital. “We are pleased to receive this award,” said Jenni Macke, SMCH Manager of Obstetrics. “Birth is a celebration of life and our staff understands and anticipates the needs of moms-to-be. We partner with them to support their birthing choices and women can trust that our caring hands will deliver their miracles in a healing, family-centered environment.” SMCH is known for its family focus, which encourages family members to participate in the birthing process. As part of this approach, exclusive breastfeeding and skin-toskin contact are promoted, enhancing the bond between mother and child. “New moms have many choices when it comes to having their baby, so choosing the best birthing experience is right up there with choosing the best doctor. We’ve made it easy for moms to select a proven hospital to deliver an outstanding experience,” says Delia Passi, CEO and Founder of the Women’s Choice Award. In 2015, the hospital’s auxiliary raised funds to purchase two new labor and delivery beds for the obstetrics department. The new beds are designed with the safety of expectant moms in mind. Ergonomic features of the new beds help the mom with multiple positions for comfort dur-

ing labor and delivery. “The dollars raised by the Auxiliary represent a commitment to provide an exceptional experience for moms and babies,” says Macke. “We are grateful to the Auxiliary for its efforts in ensuring our patients continue to receive the best care possible.” According to the Women’s Choice Award organization, award winners offer exceptional obstetric services which ranked above the national average for patient safety. The scoring process is also unique in that it is the only national list that is evidencebased and focuses on female patient satisfaction. Awarded hospitals ranked above the national average for patient recommendations, as indicated by the data reported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers

and Systems (HCAHPS) surveys. Additional considerations included having a NICU on-site and a low early elective delivery ranking. SMCH has been serving the patients since 1962. To learn more, visit www.stewartmemorial.org, call 712-464-3171 or follow us Facebook. The Women’s Choice Award sets the standard for helping women make smart choices through education, empowerment, and validation. Awards are determined by evidence-based research and identify the brands, products and services most recommended and trusted by women. Visit www.WomensChoiceAward.com to learn more.

At its peak, “Gilmore Girls” was something like the 160th most popular television show in America. And yet, its fans have clamored for a revival of the show since it left the air in 2007. Last month, I joined millions of Americans in watching the four new episodes over just two days. The binge watching was a necessity, I told myself, because to wait too long would drastically expand the risk learning the ending from someone on social media, rather than being able to enjoy the buildup as it occurred on screen. I remember loving the show a decade ago, when it was at its peak. I didn’t watch a ton of TV while I was in college – no money for cable and no time to dedicate to a weekly viewing anyway. But just after I graduated from college, my mom introduced me to the show and the first few seasons on DVD. I think I even bought her a season or two as a Christmas present, then borrowed them back as soon as I could. The original show deserved the superfans’ praise – witty dialogue, obscure pop culture references, a town too quirky and adorable to be true. Rory’s love interests were perfectly symbolic, too, for the stages of real or hoped-for romance – the hometown boy who we’ll always view as a safe bet, the well-read rebel with a heart of gold, and the rich guy who can buy all of our problems away. As I turned on the television and

called up the episodes on Netflix, watched in the background while I cleaned and folded laundry on a Sunday afternoon, I felt myself return to 2005. This time, though, I was cleaning a house that I owned, not a tiny apartment in a sketchy complex. I was matching endless pairs of tiny white socks, trying to remember which ones are the smaller size, so I could put them in the right dressers. The wearers of those socks made loud noises all over the house, always ending up right next to me, something I definitely didn’t experience the last time I sat down to watch “Gilmore Girls.” The thing is, as the story progressed, I felt a little let down. Don’t get me wrong – I was as happy as any other fangirl to hear some of my favorite characters spit out snappy, snarky dialogue. I laughed, loudly and often, during each episode. But I think what struck me is how much I’ve changed since the show aired, and how hard it is to go back to characters that have been static for so long. It’s a little like picking up one of your favorite books from childhood, and realizing the story is far more stilted on paper than it was in your imagination, or unwrapping a favorite childhood candy and finding the flavor too sweet for your adult palate. What seemed to me to be aspirational in my 20s – prep school and lots of reading and becoming a globe-trotting journalist – seems clichéd and silly to me now. Sure, people graduate from Ivy League schools and become freelance writers all the time, but that isn’t the

life I want anymore. And it was weird to see the character I identified with a decade ago become the character I railed against now. Rory, the youngest of the three women who make up the titular Gilmore Girls, became unmoored, choosing a homeless lifestyle for a year while she tried to recover her lost writing career. The people I know who have had such career crises in their 30s have recovered much better, and with less whining, probably because they aren’t TV characters, and have actual bills to pay. The 30-somethings I know work hard and enjoy their lives, but we all must be a little nostalgic for the less encumbered days of our late teens and early 20s, or else this “Gilmore Girls” revival would never have had the audience that it does. Watching the show and critiquing it gave me a chance to reflect on myself and the changes in my life in the last decade. I never became the international correspondent I thought I wanted to be in college, but I have lived and worked in four states since I graduated. My idea of success has moved away from the idea of bylines printed in multiple languages and articles being read by millions. I’ve learned to enjoy my life as it comes, one day at a time. I experience and appreciate each miracle – and there are many – without losing time worrying about wasted potential. It also reminded me about how we love to tell and then retell the same story, with different details to emphasize different life lessons. That, more than anything else, was what made the new episodes satisfying.

Much of the pipeline construction has been finished in Iowa. Most construction sites in Calhoun County, through which about 30 miles of pipeline has been laid since summer, were recovered by this weekend. Bold Iowa Director Ed Fallon, a former state legislator who has opposed the pipeline since it was announced, issued a statement Monday praising the corps’ decision not to issue the permit. “Getting that call, hearing that news, was nothing short of an ecstatic moment,� Fallon said. “This is not complete victory, but it’s like scoring the go ahead touchdown with little time left in the game. Because of the President’s action, this pipeline will not be completed any time soon. And if it’s not running oil by January 1, 2017, investors may withdraw from the project.�

ADAZA The Adaza Thursday Club’s December meeting is changed from the 1st to the 8th. It will be a noon dinner at Jane Beschorner’s. Instead of exchanging gifts, members are asked to bring a donation of food or money to be taken to local food pantries.

Shirley stayed overnight and came home Friday morning.

Carroll, Tom and Brittany Sickels and Morgan of Charles City. Barbara Winkelman’s holiday guest was her brother, Gerald Wright of Jefferson. Shirley Hamilton hosted a cooperative dinner on the 26th for the annual Fox-Hamilton family reunion dinner at her home on the 26th.

when people are smiling and signing along! We cannot wait until they come back and sing again! This week, the theme was all things Christmas! We got the Christmas tree put up and fluffed! I think that is the hardest part of putting the tree up is to fluff the branches. Nadine Adkins and Dan Winterboer helped to fluff, while Doris Hildreth sang us Christmas carols. We spent Thursday afternoon decorating the tree; of course the lights from the year before did not work! So we went and got all new lights to fill the tree. It looks amazing! The ladies all helped to hang the decorations and the tree looks amazing! We have our resident Christmas party on Friday, December 9. So we have everything decorated for the party. We are having a soup supper, carolers, sing alongs with Diane Vavak and a reading of ‘Twas the Night before Christmas’ by Lynn Gentry. I think it will be a fun evening for everyone!

LOHRVILLE My thought for the day is: Holiday Eating Tips; Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a holiday party is to eat other peoples food for free. The trivia question for the week is: Nicknamed “The Roland Rocket�, who was the first to sport All American at Iowa State? Thanksgiving dinner guests of Cee and Jim Rosmanith were: Cecil Cook and Rose Heath. Thanksgiving guests of Nystrom in Boone were: Terry and Gerry Hendricks, Annette and Tracy Sankot of Cedar Rapids and Linda Haynes of Boone. Dorothy Siemann and daughter, Carol Presley of Lake City, were Des Moines guests of her granddaughter, Jennifer. On Thanksgiving Day, Leland Jones was a visitor of his daughter, Pat and Jim Hill at Ellsworth. There will be a Christmas Open House at the J.J. Hands Library on Friday, December 16th at 5:30 PM. The Lohrville United Methodist Church held their annual Cookie Walk on Saturday. Everyone stocked up on cookies and candies. They also

enjoyed rolls, coffee and fellowship with friends and neighbors. Winter has arrived. We had snow on Wednesday this week. Not enough to go sledding, however. The Annual Kick Off to Christmas was held on December 2nd, with the lighting of the Christmas tree downtown, singing of Christmas Carols, then back to the Library and Community Building to do crafts and visit Santa.The ambulance department served a soup supper and/or hotdog to help out our local ambulance service. A great time was had by all. A big thank you to everyone who decorated the tree up town. It looks wonderful! Former Lohrville area resident, Mary Ann Jacobson Reuter, passed away last week. She will be remembered for her cake decorating and so many other things, and will be missed. Our birthday best wishes go out to: Annette Rossmanith and Alex Anderson on December 13th. Hope you both have a nice day. The answer to the trivia question is: Gary Thompson. So until next week, have a good one.

SHADY OAKS What’s better then coffee? FREE COFFEE!!! Through the month of December, Shady Oaks has partnered with Sweet Things once again to sponsor Complimentary Coffee Tuesdays! This promotion, running through the holiday season, will be available for all dine-ins. You’ll enjoy your free coffee served in a special Shady Oaks coffee mug. The Shady Oaks Team appreciates any and all community support we receive throughout the year. What’s

better then supporting local business? We strive to give back when possible, even if it’s something as simple as a cup of coffee! Never visited Sweet Things? It’s located on the Historic Town Square in Lake City on East Main Street. They have a variety of all-day breakfast items, varying from biscuits and gravy to delicious breakfast sandwiches. They also serve wonderful daily lunch specials.

We had such a wonderful time at the tea party. I want to give many thanks to Diane Vavak, who helped make cupcakes, played the piano and helped with cleanup. I also want to thank Doris Hunt for helping serve and clean up. I have some of the best volunteers around! I would like to thank everyone who came as well; you made the party a success. We served tea in pumpkin teacups and had pumpkin tea pots, all made by Diane Vavak at her ceramic shop. They were just so dainty and cute! I have to confess, it was a very stressful day, the city shut the water off to Rockwell City, and it is kind of hard to have a tea party without water. Thankfully, we have an emergency supply and I was able to boil water on the stove. Halfway through the party, the water was turned back on and we were able to serve coffee as well. I would like to say a big thank you to Sharyl and Roger Netz, who came and sang for us Tuesday night! We had a wonderful time and let me say, they put on a heck of a show. I love

It’s time to get the Christmas card list out -- ready or not, here comes December! Have you brought out your garlands and lights? Sunnyview has been decorated. As you might guess, this was a big job, not for the faint-hearted. First, the trees were sorted and assembled. Next it was time for lights and ornaments. Several (we counted at least ELEVEN) residents joined in the process. Some specialized in tree assembly, some specialized in lights and decorations, and some did everything. Now two decorated trees are in the front lobby and two more are in the Big Lounge (or Great Room). But wait, there’s more. Delores and helpers decorated Carene’s lovely Christmas tree in the TV lounge. Many residents have decorated the doors to their suites with wreaths and other arrangements. In the Sunnyview dining room, each table sports a small shiny tree centerpiece. Sunnyview is ready to celebrate -- thank you, everyone! With the holiday season upon us, we feel for those who have lost loved ones. The lives of two Des Moines area police officers were stolen from us on November 2. This includes our own Justin Martin. We honor our law enforcement officers and all our first responders. Also, we offer our sympathy to the family of Jeanie Warneke, who passed away recently. We remember Jeanie, a caring person, during the time that she lived at Sunnyview before moving to Sunny Knoll. God bless you, Jeanie.

Do you remember where you were on December 7, 1941, the “day that will live in infamy?� What were you doing when you heard the radio broadcast that the United States had been attacked? We remember the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor on Wednesday. For many people, Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, signals the start of Christmas shopping. Did you go to the stores? It sounds like an adventure. We understand some stores started Black Friday on Thursday. Some of us wonder whether Black Friday shopping would be good training for “running with the bulls� that we have seen on television. That is an exciting and dangerous tradition -- people risk being gored and trampled while they voluntarily run with stampeding bulls through the streets in Pamplona, Spain. Perhaps it is less hazardous to “run with the early shoppers.� Many of us are thankful that Sunnyview is all on one level. No stair steps here, except to the basement. And someone else shovels the snow. And the coffee is always on. Perhaps a piece of warm pumpkin pie would go well with that coffee. There is a lot of nutrition in a pumpkin. Roasted pumpkin seeds are good, too, and don’t forget pumpkin bread. Say, what do you use to fix a broken pumpkin? A pumpkin patch. Remember, the website is www. sunnyviewil.com and the coffee is always on.

CENTRAL SCHOOL REMEMBERS December 1951 65 Years Ago

Obituary: Lake City’s Oldest Business Man Dies on Christmas Day. L. D. Hawkins 83, died Tuesday afternoon, Christmas day, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. Weisbrod, in Des Moines. Author’s Note: Mr. Hawkins set up his Center St. photography business in Lake City in or about 1883. Much of his photography work available today gives us a visual reference to Lake City as it was and to its early families as they once were. Many of his photos can be seen at Central School Museum in Lake City. Servicemen: Pfc. Paul E. Lasher, son of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Lasher, has been awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge, a symbol of close-

quarter fighting with the enemy, while serving with the 25th Infantry Division in Korea. Servicemen: Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Brooks, formerly of Lake City, received a letter Tuesday from their son Al, informing them that he is a prisoner of war in Korea. Brooks was reported missing in action on November 2, 1951. The letter was written in his own hand and signed “Pep�. Al was known as “Pepper� in Lake City. Our Vexing Problems by Gerald Nollen: Today we need Government economy and we need it badly, while we are being heavily taxes for war expenditures is no time to burden us with the cost of unnecessary public projects. We are told with good authority that our Government

is spending from 5 to 10 billion dollars each year on projects that could be entirely eliminated, or postponed until the war expenditures are greatly reduced�. Author’s Note: Again, nothing is new under the sun. During the last several months, our national debt has increased by about $4 billion. This amounts to a boost of $21 for each man, woman and child in the nation. Our national debt will reach its legal limit of $275,000,000,000.00 billion in about one year. Author’s Note: Update - Our nation al debt today is about $20,000,000,000,000.00 trillion which is about $61,538.50 for every man woman and child @ 350 million population, just saying‌ Gabble Tattle Prattle: Don’t know how the experts figure, but it seems to me that the most important subjects for youngsters to learn in school now is arithmetic, and especially subtraction. When they grow up and

get into the process of paying off the national debt, they’re going to do a lot of subtracting from their incomes – if they have any. Corner Grocery: Butternut coffee – 1 lb .79c; Ritz crackers - .35c per box; Northern bathroom tissue – 3 rolls, 25c. Markets: corn - $1.67; soybeans $2.65; oats - $1.00. Gabble Tattle Prattle: T.R. Hackett, late father of Marguerite and Ethel Hackett of Lake City, was the pilot of the first “iron horse� to steam into Lake City on the Chicago & Northwestern. It was November 29, 1882 and the next night the whole town went out to celebrate. Gabble Tattle Prattle: History has it that the arrival and the celebration of the first “iron horse� to Lake City was a wild affair, there being two saloons in town at the time, and the gang of track layers was unable to go to work the next day.

Gabble Tattle Prattle: Old Timers – At the time of this writing, Perry Fulkerson and Harry McCullough are two old timers who were on hand when the first locomotive pulled into Lake City November 29, 1883.

“If‌Thank Youâ€? Dear Friends: I have been on the journey of my life! A journey nearly impossible without the prayers and well wishes from friends and family near & far. If you expressed well wishes to me, I soaked that up and absorbed your sincerity. I thank you. If you prayed for me alone and in your own time and space, or you prayed for me as a group – it doesn’t matter – I felt every single word uttered and directed to the only power with the power to make this tragedy bearable, I thank you. If you opened up your purse or wallet to help keep the lights on and gave me that light to see the wounds that have run deep, I thank you. If you joined with friends to create an opportunity for fellowship in my name, I thank you. If you attended and joined a fellowship, I thank you. If you anonymously donated to the efforts of my future, I thank you. If you lovingly prepared a meal for my family & I to make sure we were nourished, I thank you. If you put up a wall or laid the groundwork to create a space that was safe for me – you hit that nail on the head and I thank you. If you donated supplies or labors of love, I thank you. If you were “just doing your jobâ€? and did it with the knowledge to make a difference in my healing, I thank you. Obviously, this was an unexpected set back in many ways. But everything you all have done for me personally and my family has lessened my load of worry and concern, I thank you. To South Central Calhoun Schools, Staff and students, your support and kindness has been encouraging. Without your digging deep to make accommodations for my absence I would have felt anxious about my hopeful return. 1RZ WKH PLOOLRQ GROODU TXHVWLRQ Âą Âł:KHQ ZLOO \RX EH JHWWLQJ \RXU SURVWKHWLFV"´ , DP ZDLWLQJ IRU WKH ÂżQDO \HV VR WKDW , FDQ EH VWUDLJKW XS DQG down and tall, putting the proverbial foot in front of the other.

He will show me and give me the continued courage to achieve the next stage of healing and reminder that things will never be the same for me. I’ll be holding my head up high, in order to hear and see, from here on out, what I can do for Him. I am very grateful that my healing & strength came from prayer and LOVE! And for that I thank God! Thank you God for the serenity to accept the things I can not change – thank you Lord God for the courage to change the things I can – and most of all, thank you Lord for the wisdom to know the difference.

St. Anthony’s 10 Holiday Tips to Save Time and Simplify Holidays bring family, friends and fun together each year. The holiday season is a time to celebrate what we are thankful for and make memories with loved ones. However, the fastpace of get-togethers, food preparation and gift buying can cause unnecessary stress during a time we should be focused on family. St. Anthony has put together a list of ways to help you save time and simplify the holiday season this year: 1. Start your holiday calendar: Pull together a list of all holiday events. From family Thanksgivings and traditions to work gatherings and charity events, you can manage your time best when important dates are laid out in one place. 2. Update your address book: Retire your old address book, and save the contact information of your friends and family members on your computer. Consider transferring one page a day or enlisting assistance from a tech-savvy child or friend. For holiday cards, print the addresses onto self-adhesive labels, and use decorative scissors to trim the edges

before adhering them to envelopes. 3. Take a day to work alone: Try to find one day you can devote your entire time to holiday preparations. Consider taking a vacation day from work, swapping childcare with a friend or neighbor, or enlisting support from parents or in-laws. 4. Wrap presents ahead of time: Start wrapping presents early, but add ribbons, bows and tags later. Unadorned boxes are stackable and easier to store and transport. Just be sure to label gifts with sticky notes so you can identify the gifts later on. 5. Shop local: Grow your community by shopping local. This not only saves time and money, but will also benefit the community by boosting the economy and keeping money intown. Make a quick trip downtown for one-of-a-kind gifts, and spend less time driving and making exchanges. Some local stores will even deliver right to your doorstep. 6. Set a budget and gift list: Draw up a budget and holiday gift list before you shop this season. This will ensure even distribution, cut down

on the number of trips to the store and help you avoid unnecessary spending. 7. Stock up on baking staples: Cut back on last-minute grocery trips by stocking up on baking ingredients prior to the holidays. Be sure you have the basics you will go through quickly: butter, flour, granulated and brown sugars, baking powder and soda, yeast and vanilla extract. 8. Clear counters and space: Before holiday gatherings, relocate your coats from the hall closet so that guests will have a place to hang theirs. Clear out the refrigerator to provide ample room for the holiday meal. Clean and wipe down counters, empty the dishwasher and fill the sink with hot, soapy water to make clean-up a breeze. 9. Cook double, early: To save time on regular family meals, cook double batches of as many things as possible. If you’re cooking a turkey or ham as the main entrÊe, cook it the day before the holiday meal. This can save a lot of hassle and free the oven the day of the event for other dishes. Simply warm the turkey or ham up the next day, and it’s ready to serve. 10. Make hot drinks in a CrockPot: Allow your holiday guests to serve themselves with Crock-Pot beverages. Hot chocolate or apple cider are great options to keep guests warm and hydrated. Set up your Crock-Pot away from the main cooking area to give yourself space in the kitchen.

(2) The child has been removed from the physical custody of the child’s parents for a period of a least six consecutive months. (3) There is clear and convincing evidence that the parents have not maintained significant and meaningful contact with the child during the previous six consecutive months and have made no reasonable efforts to resume care of the child despite being given the opportunity to do so. 232.116(1)(h)

The court finds that all of the following have occurred: (1) The child is three years of age or younger. (2) The child has been adjudicated a child in need of assistance pursuant to 232.96.

FROM THE TITANS’ DESK SCC In the Middle By Jacob Kalkwarf and Ian Geerdes First off we want to say we hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

In civics, we are learning about presidential powers and the cabinet. In

English we are learning about verbs (perfect and progressive). In science, we are learning about electricity. In ,eading we are studying for a Unit 2 test. Some other events: on Thursday we had an assembly about “The New Drug.� In 26 days it’s going to be Christmas. Make sure to buy presents. That is all we have been doing this week.

The Commandments of the Holidays By Jordan Ludwig, Anastasia Sackfield, and Ryan Brown Around the time that Halloween ends, there is always an ambush of holidays that strike our homes. These holidays are Thanksgiving and Christmas. While both of these holidays are important, they can be stressful times of the year. Cooking, buying presents, organizing events, all of these obstacles rear their heads. We are going to help you make the most stressful time of the year, the best time of the year. There are some standard rules that apply to the holidays. We call them the three commandments. The first commandment applies to appreciating the holidays one at a time. Christmas is exciting, and we un-

derstand that, but if we all go crazy from Christmas music by mid-December, imagine how bad it will be if we start playing it earlier and earlier in the year. The second commandment is: Thou shalt avoid thy family as completely necessary. If you know that your family is going to aggravate you with their cheer (or lack thereof), skip a conf lict and keep your distance. Holidays are a happy time. Don’t spoil that. The final commandment, and perhaps the most important, is: Thou shalt not engage in aggressive shopping habits. We know that your daughter really wanted that rose gold iPhone 7, but is it really worth the possibility of being charged with assault? The holidays are a fun time, and in following these commandments, you can ensure that you get the most enjoyment out of them.
