Council approves demolition bid
By R.D. KEEP
The Sun
New Sharon residents will see an
eyesore disappear in coming weeks
after accepting a demolition bid
from Fox Construction. The decision came at the May 6 council
meeting. The decision was among a
busy night of hearings.
The property at 501 North Elm
Street contains a rundown home that
cannot be repaired. The yard is also
in disarray. The city has obtained
the property and is hoping to clean
off the home and brush and sell the
property to put the property back
onto the tax roles. Fox Construction
submitted a bid of $3,750.
The meeting opened with Sharon
Dawley of Scooters talking about
the weekend generally known as
Spring Festival weekend. Dawley
said a number of groups had scheduled class reunions and there is a
need for a place for them to go since
the normal Spring Festival is not oc-
curring this year.
Dawley was asking permission to
allow blocking of the street for Friday June 12-13. She said the Lucas
Beebe Band will perform on Friday and Saturday will be a Karaoke
night. Chief of police Kevin Lamberson said he and reserve officer
Jesse Sanders will be on duty both
2
nights. Lamberson and the council
discussed the possibility of using the
sheriff’s posse to assist. Lamberson
said he would look into it, but felt he
and Sanders could handle the situation.

with strength and perseverance. He
passed away Aug. 19, 2008.
The event seeks to honor Jace’s
memory and help the children of the
New Sharon community in numerous ways, such as individual needs
in the school and classroom settings,

This spring, members of the horticulture class at the high school
have been spending their time
outside in the greenhouse and garden. Their produce is now ready
for purchase.
Early in March, FFA members participating in this class
planted several different species
of plants. The seeds were started
in the classroom where it was
sure to be warm, then transported
them to the greenhouse after the
weather had warmed up. Among
the planted species, there are three
different tomato varieties, five petunia varieties, and two marigold,
pepper, and geranium varieties. To
best ensure good growth, two different kinds of potting soil were
compared: MiracleGro and Hyponex. MiracleGro performed much

many visits to a Sushi place. Although
I may take a group there some time. It
would be an unforgettable experience
for my travelers.
Another new experience was taking
a stage coach ride at Mahaffey Farms
and stage coach stop. I can’t imagine
riding several hundred miles in one of
those things, but I have rode school
buses that were not a whole lot different.
My travel group is quite adventurous and in Lynchburg, VA on the last
tour they had a neat experience. I took
them snow tubing on Liberty Mountain which is a part of Liberty University. It is not snow, but the whole
side of the mountain is covered with a
white synthetic surface. The surface is
kept slightly damp and it is slick. The
evening we were there folks were skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing.
Our folks started on the bunny hill,
but it wasn’t long before they decided
that they were ready for the big hill.
The lift took them up to the top of the
big hill and they would rocket down
something like a bobsled track. You
could get lots of speed on that track
and you would end up on a ledge
where help was standing ready to
catch you. If you really got it going
you would shoot into a foam barrier.
Who said old folks can’t have fun? We
certainly did.
Saturday we went over to Griswold for a graduation party for Kasi
Amos, a granddaughter of my sister.
The Ancient-ess announced that she
needed to stop in Valley Junction at

was that they didn’t have everything
she needed. Oh no! That meant that
Hobby Lobby was the next stop. She
didn’t get exactly what she wanted,
but she was able to cover her needs.
The farmers in western Iowa are behind us quite a bit. They have a lot of
corn not in the ground yet. One of my
buddies told me that he would be just
about ready to plant and another rain

Tales of the Ancient Sportsman
Tales of the Ancient Sportsman
By Burdell Hensley
I love this time of year. It is so nice
to throw open the windows and let the
breeze pass through the house. The
spring flowers are giving way to the
summer plants and the Iris in front
of my house is stunning. The Peonies should be here soon and in some
cases may already be here. And I love
it when I can drive through the countryside and see the rows of new corn
emerging.
I went down to Fremont Friday to
have Rob fix my bad hair. I noticed
some fine fields of new corn on the
Cedar flats and between Cedar and
Fremont. Now the attention can turn to
beans and that planting will be in full
swing soon.
I was in Kansas City for the first
four days of the week for the Missouri
Travel Exchange. It was nice to see old
friends there and it was a good conference. We did a couple of site inspection tours and I did find them interesting.
Most any conference I attend offers
something new and different and this
one was no exception. I made my own
Sushi roll. The making of it was rather
easy, but then we had the two rolls we
made for lunch. I was not impressed
and only ate less than half of it.
One of the rolls contained crab meat,
avocado slices and a cucumber stick.
You finished it off by sprinkling sesame seed all over it and dipping it in soy
sauce. The second contained spiced
tuna and a cucumber stick. They could
not convince me that the tuna was not
raw. I have cleaned enough fish in my
day to know what raw fish looks like.
We were given a green spread to doctor it up a little. I ask what it was and
I couldn’t spell it or pronounce it, so
I tried it anyway. ZOWIE! It was the
strongest horseradish I ever tasted. My
eyes watered, my nose ran and my sinuses were open.
Needless to say, I will not be making

would come. They haven’t had a lot of
rain, but just enough to keep them out
of the field.
Sunday we attended the senior recognition service at the Presbyterian
Church and Logan was one of the 17
seniors. We attended the early service
at our church and that gave us time to
be there. They had a nice service to
honor the seniors and it was good to
see several old friends and travelers
there.
The spring sports season is quickly
drawing to a close. Most conference
meets have been held and this week it
is the district meets on Thursday. By
next week we will know who has qualified for the big show on the blue track
in Drake Stadium. And we do have
several area kids who should make the
show.
Next on the docket is high school
baseball and softball. That means we
will soon be sitting in lawn chairs
swatting bugs and keeping an eye on
the weather.
Let’s take a glance over our shoulder and see what happened in our yesterdays.
100 years ago: May 10, 1915- The
Oskaloosa Braves made their debut
into the amateur baseball circles by
forcing a fast Avery team to go 12 innings to beat them 7-6. Hatchitt and
Kemp each had two hits for the Braves.
May 12- Two Eddyville boys earned
medals at the Tri-State track meet in
Fairfield. Paul Thayer took the bronze
in the 440 dash and Alfred Keller won
a bronze in the hurdle race.
75 years ago: May 10, 1940- Cedar
beat Conrad 5-4 in the district tourney in Marshalltown. Ralph Scharff
pitched the win and Raymond Towns
poked a pair of hits. May 11- What
Cheer advances in district play with
a 6-2 win over Urbana while Cedar
dropped a 6-2 decision to Hudson.
May 12- What Cheer falls to Manchester 10–8. Wilcox had three hits
for What Cheer and Armstrong belted
a triple and a single. May 14- New
Sharon nipped Lacey 1-0 behind the
one hit pitching of Jack Stanley. Ken
DeWitt tossed a two-hitter for Lacey,
but Keith Miller singled and scored
on an error for the win. May 15- Rose
Hill’s John Hart doubled with two out
in the bottom of the seventh to break
up a no-hitter by Albert Stewart of
Barnes City. BC won 4-0 as Stewart
and Claire Beach each had two hits.
50 years ago: May 10, 1965- Pekin’s Mike White qualified for state
in the shot put. Sigourney’s Rex Perisho qualified in the mile run and Tom
Pfaff qualified in the high hurdles. The
Savage medley relay team also made
the state meet field. May 11- Oskaloosa’s Brent Slay won the 440, 220 and
anchored the mile relay to a win at the
district track meet in Fairfield. Joining Slay on the mile team were Ken
Rexroth, Larry Walraven and Dave
Kennedy. Mike Fleener won the pole
vault and Dan Miller took the 120 high
hurdles. May 11- English Valleys finished second in Class B and had five
winning events. Jerry Foubert won the
discus, Ron Miller won the 100 dash
and the 440, 880 and mile relay units
were victorious. Tom Smith was second in the 100 dash to qualify for state.
Tri-County’s Don Ross won the pole
vault and Loren Schmidt won the 120
high hurdles. May 12- Jerry Schleier
tossed a three-hitter as Eddyville beat
West Burlington 4-2 in district play.
Dennis Johnson slammed a two run
homer for the Rockets. May 13- West
Des Moines Dowling slips past Eddyville 4-1 in the district final. May
12- English Valleys finished second
at the Class B State Track Meet. The
results were not legible.
25 years ago: There was no area
sports activity in this week.
Have a great week and enjoy the
springtime.

1927-2015
Frank Laverne Dugger was born February 16, 1927 in What Cheer, Iowa
the son of Donovan and Hazel (Colbert) Dugger.
He was raised in What Cheer and attended school there. In December of
1944 he enlisted in the United States Navy. He served overseas on the USS
WASP and was only 100 miles off the coast of Japan when World War II
ended. He was honorably discharged
at the rank of Seaman First Class on
July 29, 1946.
Frank then found work as a crane
operator in New Jersey and later for
the J.I. Case Company in Bettendorf, Iowa. He decided it was time
for a career change, so Frank entered
and graduated from the Elgin Watch
School in Elgin, Ill. He eventually
moved to Lincoln, Nebr., where he
and his business partner, Don Thomas, owned a jewelry store. After a
few years in the store, Frank became
a jewelry salesman, and in his travels
he discovered Knoxville, Iowa. He
became a partner in Modern Jewelers with Vance Wymore. Following
Vance’s death, Frank purchased his
interest and became sole owner. On April 15, 1988 he was united in marriage to Kathy Ewoldt. Frank retired and closed the store after 36 years at Modern Jewelers.
Throughout his career in Knoxville Frank was very civic minded and actively involved in many organizations including the Jaycees, Chamber of
Commerce, Rotary, Civil Service Board, Marion County Savings & Loan
Board and the Stanbrough Realty Bank Board. He had a passion for antique
tractors and cars and was a member of the Early Wheels of Iowa Club and
the Model A Club. He will be remembered as a friendly man who was always with a grin and a funny old saying or bit of wisdom.
Frank passed away on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at the Knoxville Hospitals
and Clinics, with his family by his side, at the age of 88 years.
He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers: Dennis, Duane and one
in infancy and his daughter, Lynn.
Those left to cherish Frank’s memory include his wife, Kathy, daughters:
Lisa Gade of Des Moines and Mary Dugger of Sacramento, Calif.; grandchildren: Blake Dugger, Alexis Johnson, and Sara Galeazzi; step-children:
Cindy Wisner, Sandy Coon and Jeanie (Larry) Ball; step-grandchildren: Jamie Ball, Christina (Cody) Moore, Madison Wisner and Jon Wisner; greatgranddaughter, Wrenley Johnson; step-great grandchild, Liam Moore and
many other family members and friends.
A Mass of Christian Burial for Frank Dugger was held on Saturday, May
9, 2015 at 10 a.m. at St. Anthony Catholic Church. Burial, with Military
Honors, will follow in the Graceland Cemetery. Visitation began after 2 p.m.
Friday at the church where the family received friends from 6 to 8 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Knoxville
Fire and Rescue Assn. Online condolences may be left at BertrandFuneralHomes.com.

Prayer: Just old hat?
By MARLENE SMITH
I’m writing this article for The Sun just one day after the National Day of
Prayer (Thursday, May 7) and I’m wondering if God’s people remembered
to pray. I’m wondering if God’s people even knew about the National Day of
Prayer. Maybe God’s people don’t think a day set aside for “national” prayer
is all that important; maybe prayer is just “old hat.”
Did you know that the last time the word “sin” was mentioned in a presidential proclamation for the annual National Day of Prayer was in President Eisenhower’s proclamation in 1953? Maybe that’s why God’s people
don’t pray much anymore…sin has been eliminated from our vocabulary.
We seem to believe that we are generally good people-we’re not! The good
book tells us that “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Our
nation is made up of individuals who all stand in the need of the blood of
Jesus; it is our only hope as individuals as well as our nation.
On the National Day of Prayer, God has asked us to pray for those in authority; that includes a lot of people from President Obama to our own city
council, police chief, and school board members. Do we pray that these leaders realize a need for Jesus in their own lives that they be given God-inspired
wisdom, that they value and regard not only the Ten Commandments but
honor and obey the entire Word of God? We—God’s people—“have not
because we ask not—or because we ask with wrong motives.” (James 4:2-3)
Do we understand the times we are living in? Psalm 11:3 says, “When the
foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?” In the words
of Franklin Graham, “God longs for His people to humble themselves and
to seek forgiveness and pray for guidance. God’s Word says, ‘Blessed is the
nation whose God is the Lord’ (Psalm 33:12). The Bible commands that we
repent of our sins and turn to Almighty God. And because we are confident
that we serve a God of mercy and compassion, we know that He stands ready
to respond to our cries out of the abundance of His divine wisdom.”
Is prayer “old hat?” If we are discerning the times, we will understand that
as God’s people there is no other answer to our society’s crumbling foundations but to call on the name of our Lord in prayer with humble and contrite
hearts. While it is still day…

“A Bonhoeffer Moment in America”
By SHERYL L. CARTERBottom
of Form
Top of Form
Bottom of Form
Recently I was privileged to read an
article by several well-known Christian leaders. The first was by Rick
Scarborough, President of Vision
America Action. He stated: “There
is a growing concern about the nature of the ruling the Supreme Court
will hand down in June on same-sex
marriage. We believe that the majority of the Court will rule in favor of
elevating what we have always taught
to be a sinful lifestyle to the stature
of a civil right—forcing us to choose
between their ruling and our religious
convictions that are based on Scripture. This ruling will conflict with our
deeply held conviction and religious
belief.
“With the current administration,
there is every reason to believe that
the Executive Branch will use the full
weight of the Federal justice system
to enforce this. We must be prepared
for that possibility.
“I am speaking as a minister to the
moral and biblical ramifications of
this expected ruling. This would be a
decision as incorrect and as tragic as
Dred Scott. Because of the trends and
cultural shifts that we have witnessed
in culture over the past 40 years, we
have all known that this day would
likely come and Christians would be
put at odds with the culture and the
courts.
“I believe we are there. We are approaching a Bonhoeffer moment in
America.
“Outrageous penalties are now being assessed against people of faith
and conviction who haven’t changed
their position on marriage. Rather it’s
the courts that have changed the definitions, the rules and laws that now
govern us. They are ruling against
Nature’s Law and Nature’s God.
Christians are being declared the lawbreakers when we are simply living
by what we have always believed,
and by a set of laws that the culture
historically has agreed to.
“My desire as a pastor is to see another Great Awakening, and I pray
that those caught up in any sin will
find Jesus and God’s grace, but that
can only come when there is a biblical standard lifted up and acknowledged as truth. Right now the courts
are changing the playing field and
declaring that what the natural eye
can see and natural law reveals is not
truth. Therefore, this is a Bonhoeffer
moment. What will we do, and how
will we respond?”
*First of all, who was Dietrich
Bonhoeffer? He was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian, and antiNazi dissident. His writings on Christianity’s role in the secular world
have become widely influential, and
his book The Cost of Discipleship
became a modern classic. Apart from
his theological writings, Bonhoeffer
was known for his staunch resistance
to the Nazi dictatorship, including vocal opposition to Hitler’s euthanasia
program and genocidal persecution
of the Jews. He was arrested in April
1943 by the Gestapo and executed by
hanging on April 9, 1945, just two
weeks before Allied forces liberated
the camp. He was 39 years old.
Bonhoeffer’s promising academic
and ecclesiastical career was dramatically altered with Nazi ascension to
power on Jan. 30, 1933. He was a
determined opponent of the regime
from its first days. In April 1933,
Bonhoeffer raised the first voice for
church resistance to Hitler’s persecution of Jews, declaring that the church
must not simply “bandage the victims
under the wheel, but jam the spoke
in the wheel itself.” He argued that
Christians should not retreat from the
world but act within it.
“Silence in the face of evil is itself
evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to
act is to act.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
1906–1945 (Previous two paragraphs
taken from Wikipedia.com)
The next comments are by Mat
Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel.
“Let me address the seriousness and
the basis for engaging with resistance
to a Supreme Court decision that
could go the wrong way. Once you
elevate same-sex marriage to the level of protected status, whether on the
federal or the state level, you begin
to change and transform the face of
society. In my view, it will result in
the beginning of the end of Western
Civilization.
“When you make a government
policy that says that this is a relationship between humans that is so critical, so fundamental, and so essential
to our society and to our future that
we are going to protect it by law and
surround it with laws and benefits
that are designed to protect that relationship as a policy matter, you are
taking a big step. You are essentially
saying that boys and girls don’t need
moms and dads—that moms and
dads are irrelevant.
“Gender becomes pointless when
government adopts same-sex marriage. It creates a genderless relationship out of a very gender-specific
relationship. It says that it doesn’t
matter and that two moms or two
dads are absolutely equivalent to a
mom and a dad.
“Immediately, when elevated to
that level of a constitutionally protected category, it is given the same
status as race. What you cannot legally do with respect to race, you will
not be able to do legally with respect
to same-sex unions and sexual immorality.
“Anything that you can imagine on
the basis of race discrimination will
apply to this issue of sexual preference. There is a huge collision coming. Those examples will be intensified significantly.
“Roe v. Wade was a time when the
church should have said no, regardless of what seven Supreme Court
justices said. The difference is Roe
was a wrong decision that resulted
in a loss of life, but people were not
forced to participate. With this issue,
people will be forced to participate
and affirm it. It will affect licenses
for counselors, attorney disciplines,
and every licensing profession will
be affected.
“In the history of the Supreme
Court, they have reversed themselves
about 230 times, and other Supreme
Court decisions have been overruled
by new laws or Constitutional amendments. Two were especially bad decisions. There was the Dred Scott decision in 1857. The Supreme Court told
Scott he was not entitled to full citizenship, because people believed that
“blacks are inferior human beings.”
That was contrary to the Constitution, natural law and revealed law,
but we still went along with it, and
we ended up in a civil war.
“In 1992, Planned Parenthood v.
Casey was argued in the Supreme
Court. During that week they voted,
and it was a 5-4 vote to overrule Roe
v. Wade. For thirty days William
Rehnquist was writing the opinion
to overrule it. For those thirty days,
O’Connor and Justice David Souter
lobbied Justice Anthony Kennedy
who was part of the majority to overrule it.
“After thirty days, they broke
through, and he wrote a note to a
fellow justice Harry Blackmun who
wrote the decision in 1973. Kennedy
switched his vote, so the Opinion
was taken away from Rehnquist and
given to another justice. So Roe v.
Wade was upheld, rather than over-
ruled. O’Connor said in that Opinion that even if Roe v. Wade was
decided wrongly, we have to uphold
it because the power of the Court
rests solely in the confidence of the
people.
“Unlike the executive branch,
which enforces the law, or the legislative branch, which enacts the law,
she said that the Supreme Court has
no power to enforce our law: the only
way our orders have enforcement
is because the people voluntarily
comply. The executive branch must
uphold it. Upholding Roe v. Wade
was necessary, she argued, to uphold
the power of the Court and the confidence of the people that what they
do is right. She said in her Opinion
that upholding the decision of Roe v.
Wade was a necessity to maintain the
authority of the Court and the power
of the institution.
“Just laws are laws in conformity
to higher law we have a duty to obey.
We also have a duty to disobey laws
that are against higher law but be
prepared for the consequences of the
wrath of the civil authorities. We still
cannot obey the unjust laws.
“In 2004, same-sex marriage came
to Massachusetts. Catholic charities
refused to place orphans in same-sex
homes, so they stopped doing adoptions. What they should have done,
and now what we should do, is to say
we are called on a mission and that
is to place orphans in homes with
moms and dads. We will not run
from that calling, but we will also
not violate our consciences and The
Bible by placing them in a place that
is sinful and immoral. If you disagree
with it, bring your civil authority after us because we will not voluntarily
cease with our calling.
“The photographer out in New
Mexico, the baker in Oregon, Washington florist Barronelle Stutzman—
they are all facing the same thing. We
either all stand together, or we hang
separately. This is indeed a Bonhoeffer moment. They might be able to
pick us off individually, but collectively they can’t. Whenever someone
gets targeted, we must gather around
them and say no.
“In Alabama, the Supreme Court
has made a decision to refuse to enforce same-sex marriage (read the
decision at LC.org). When you read
the decision, you don’t get the impression that the Alabama Supreme
Court justices are waiting for the
June decision to see what the U.S.
Supreme Court decides. They are
making their stand now that they will
not go along with it, and their minds
won’t be changed.
“It’s one thing to say you will
stand; it’s another to withstand the
fines and the potential of loss of your
entire livelihood (such as Barronelle
Stutzman). We must collectively support and stand with them and say we
will not cross that line. We need to
let them know now where we stand.
Tell them now that if they cross that
line, they will become an illegitimate
institution, that the Supreme Court
will lose the respect of the American
people and therefore lose its authority.”
*I had never heard that the Supreme Court actually had decided 23
years ago to overrule Roe vs. Wade
and for the next month, Justice Anthony Kennedy was influenced to
change his decision, which he did,
resulting in many more unborn children being killed. All because, “We
have to uphold it because the power
of the Court rests solely in the confidence of the people.” That is chilling.
My prayer is that the nine Justices
will vote against changing our fundamental laws concerning marriage
between one man and one woman
which have stood for millennia.

Once again it is a busy time of year.
Farmers are busy with the planting season. We all need to share the
road with the many slower tractors
and machinery that are on the road.
Motorists must have patience. Do
not pass if you can’t see around the
machinery; do not follow too close;
give farm machinery lots of room.
Both farmers and motorists need to
be on guard all the time. Drive careful and be safe. Have a good day.
Lower Grove News
LOWER GROVE NEWS By ROSEMARY SCHMIDT
Monday was the day for a muchneeded haircut, so I went to Define
Styling and Deana made me look pretty…quite a job, actually!! Anyway I
felt uplifted and fresher. Isn’t that a
great feeling to ‘lower your ears’ as
the men say when they get their hair
cut.
By the way, I stopped into Earl’s
barbershop the other day and did you
know that he now has a drive thru
business. Someone’s car had jumped
the curb and drove into his front window, so there is a piece of plywood
there now. The sign on the plywood
says, ‘Coming soon, ‘Earl’s Drive
thru, Hair cuts in the privacy of your
car’. I’m sure the person who accidentally hit the window does not think it
is so funny, but it sure did strike my
‘funny’ bone.
On Monday evening some of our
class and friends met at Janice Vander
Linden’s home to enjoy a potluck sup-
per. We met to visit with Pam Jackson and Jo Jo Angelo while they were
here to have a ‘celebration of Barbara
(Jackson) Vos’s life.’ Those attending
were; Lois Ann(Wehrle) Van Wyk,
Janice (Van Baalen) Vander Linden, Ed Davis, Ginger (Grosenbach)
Klinker, Gayle (Fleming)Ferguson,
and myself.
On Sunday, May 3, I attended ‘Barbara’s celebration’ at the McVay Family Center in New Sharon with Barbara’s relatives and friends. Pastor Dave
Pinkerton was the master of ceremonies and he asked for people to share
their memories of Barbara.
Several people reminisced about
Barbara’s intellect, kindness, sweet
spirit and the way she would make you
laugh with her dry wit. Miriam Vos
commented how she and Barbara had
played duets together and then favored
us with a beautiful piano solo, ‘Softly
and Tenderly’.
I met Georgia Vos (sister-in-law
of Barb’s) the wife of the late Howard Vos. She was a sweet person who
was originally from Ireland. Others I
visited with were: Jimolene Walston
, Esther Thorton, Anna Mae Williams,
Shirley Hoksbergen, Ginger Klinker,
Leroy & Millie Wanders, Janice
Vander Linden, Ed Davis, Roger Van
Baalen, and Max Jacobs. Roger and
Vivian Robinson from the HollandCoble Funeral Home were the gracious hosts. The 50-Plus Club met on Monday,
May 4 at the McVay Family Center
for a potluck dinner. Art Kennis welcomed us and introduced Harvey and
Marg Calvin along with Danny Mitchell who entertained us with country
music and gospel music. Many people
were there that I knew including, Larry and Dixie Wheeler, Mary Quillen,
Frances Ferguson, Anna Mae Williams, Art Kennis, Jimolene Walston,
Howard Sutton and friend, and Marvin
Wolvers and friend.
Phyllis Clayworth was also there

and danced with quite a few friends.
Then she came over to ask me to dance
and I didn’t know if I could do it. But,
decided to try and see if I could. Phyllis ‘was game’ to lead, so we took off
and I made it through the whole song.
My legs were tired, but it was a good
feeling to know that I could dance.
Don’t think I’ll be doing any ‘jitterbugging’ though.
Last Saturday I went to Pella to help
with the garage sale at Geneva Jansens. I made a whole $25….do I think
it is worth it??? Good question, but at
least I am rid of a few things.
Wednesday, Janice and I went to
several New Sharon businesses to help
support the Golf Tournament that is
coming up on June 13 at the Prairie
Knolls Country Club. We stopped in
at the East Market Grocery and Deli
for a cup of coffee and a cherry pastry.
I went on to Lynnville to meet
Norma Conover and daughter Ruth
Jansen for lunch at the Riverside Junction. What a unique place and a good
place to find cute antiques. The lunch
was delicious and we all had a cup of
taco soup and a panini sandwich. Then
we shopped for a while and Norma
bought an area rug for her TV room.
We loaded it in my van and I took it to
her place. We wondered how we were
going to get it unloaded, but we managed it. What a woman won’t do when
she wants something!!
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
HAVE ADOPTED CHILDREN
Teacher Debbie Brown’s first graders were discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture had
a different hair color than the other
members. One of her students suggested that he must have been adopt-
ed. A little girl said, “I know all about
adoption, I was adopted”. “What does
it mean to be adopted?” asked another
child. “It means,” said the girl, “that
you grew in your Mommy’s heart instead of her tummy.”
A TEACHER WHO IS WISE,
BUILDS SELF ESTEEM IN A
CHILD
Whenever I am disappointed with
my spot in life, I stop and think about
little Jamie Scott. Jamie was trying out
for a part in the school play. His mother told me that he’d set his heart on
being in it, though she feared that he
would not be chosen. On the day the
parts were awarded, I went to school
with her to collect him after school.
Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining
with pride and excitement, “Guess
what Mom,” he shouted, “I’ve been
chosen to clap and cheer. Those words
will remain a lesson to me!!

By
JEREMY
FOX
OSKALOOSA – Wednesday Night
was full of action packed racing
as the winged warriors from the
Shottenkirk.com Sprint Invaders
invaded the Southern Iowa Speedway. 89 drivers signed in to compete in six classes on Pepsi Cola
Mahaska Bottling Company Night.
First feature of the night was IMCA
Sport Compacts ten lap feature and
it was John Whalen leading from
start-to-finish just like he did one
week prior. This time though he
held off challenges from Chuck Fullenkamp and his brother Bill Whalen to take the win. Trent Orwig and
Curt Myers rounded out the field.
After the initial start called back in
the Budweiser IMCA Stock Cars
18 lap feature event, it was Donnie Pearson grabbed the lead and
look to be comfortable out front
despite having Brad Pinkerton and
Zack Vanderbeek right behind him.
Vanderbeek and Pinkerton swapped
position several times before finally Vanderbeek took second and
then took the lead away from Pearson on lap 11. Vanderbeek lead
the remaining laps to take the win,

Brad Pinkerton finished second and
Pearson faded back to sixth. Mike
Hughes was third, Todd Reitzler was
fourth and Cayden Carter was fifth.
Next up was the Shottenkirk.com
Sprint Invaders 20 lap feature event
and it was Tony Shilling, who won
the shake-up dash and drew two
for the feature. Shilling grabbed the
top spot from the outside front row
starting spot and had a big lead over
Jamie Ball when he started getting
into lap traffic, that allowed Ball to
chase him down. On lap nine, Shilling and Ball got together but they
both continued and it allowed Ball to
take the lead. Ball lead and not even
the caution on lap 13 for debris or
the caution on lap 15 for Jon Agan,
Russ Hall and Dakota Hendrickson
getting together in turn one. Ball
went on to take his first Sprint Invaders win over Nate Van Haaften,
Front Row Challenge Promoter Terry McCarl, Joe Beaver and Shilling.
In the KBOE Radio IMCA Northern

he did the week before it was Jason McDaniel taking the early lead.

ture that went green-to-checkered.
Curtis VanDerWal finished second for the second week in a row.
Brayton Carter was third, Trent
Brink was fourth and last week’s
winner Brett Lowry was fifth.
Up next was the IMCA Pepsi Cola
IMCA Hobby Stocks feature event.
Aaron Martin lead the first two laps
in the 15 lap feature but then Bobby
Greene took the lead on lap three.
Greene’s time out front was short
lived as Dustin Griffiths worked his
way from tenth to the lead on lap five.
Griffiths went on to take his first win
at Osky this season. Greene finished
second, Danny Thrasher, Martin and
Dale Porter rounded out the top five.
Final Feature of the night was the 18
lap Musco Lighting IMCA Modifieds feature event and it went greento-checkered. Scott Dickey lead all
18 laps but had to hold off late race
challenges from Tyler Groenendyk
and Cayden Carter at the same time
there was a three car battle for fourth,
Carter VanDenBerg, Andrew Schroeder and Todd Shute. Dickey took
the win with Groenendyk in second
