Road to Somewhere
Part I in a series
Rural roads pose unique
challenges with funding

Editor’s Note: This article is part
of a series looking at the unique
challenges involved in maintaining
rural roads and bridges in the face
of aging infrastructure and uncertain budgets.
Keokuk County Supervisor
Daryl Wood has heard the claim
that rural counties keep Level B
and Level C roads open as a revenue generator.
Working on the farm late one
evening, Wood had on a radio
with the dial tuned to a talk show.
The host cited the idea as a given – rural counties simply used
the roads as a way to make money.
Given actual revenues versus
the total cost of keeping up those
roads, Wood rejects the premise.
Indeed, the money is negligible,
Wood believes.
Instead, the issue is ensuring
farmers and other landowners a
way to get to their land.
Level B and Level C roads receive lower levels of maintenance
than do Level A roads, but they
still have importance.
“We have to provide them
[farmers and landowners] access
to their property,” said Wood.
The alternative would be legal
challenges from affected landowners were the county to close
off their access.
Keokuk County Engineer Andrew McGuire concurs with
Wood’s assessment.
For McGuire, income generated
by keeping rural roads open is not
a big source of revenue.
“It is minimal,” said McGuire.
“It’s less than we spend on dirt
roads.”
As such, Level B and Level C
roads operate at a net loss, year
after year.
The road may be used by only
a handful of people. The road
may be in need of continual upkeep. Yet, closing the road is a
non-starter.
For larger counties, higher
traffic rates are a given. Such
high-traffic rates help to lock in
funding from state and federal
authorities.
Keokuk County does not have
those rates of traffic, putting the
county road system down the list
to receive any funding.
“You don’t have a lot of
high-traffic roads in our county
road system,” said Wood.
That puts the county in a quandary. The same rains and the
same cycles of freezing and thawing and the like still hit Keokuk
County roads, just as they do to
roads in counties with larger populations.
Keokuk County also sees, as do
other rural counties, heavy use
from farm machinery and big
trucks, vehicles that can cause significant wear and tear on roads.
While a single-passenger vehicle may cause minimal damage to a roadway, even if done
25 times in a day – the cutoff for
“high traffic” use of roads – the
repeated use of a Level B or Level
C road by heavy farm machinery
can cause damage that far exceeds
what small vehicles can do.
If a piece of farm machinery is
loaded at 37,000 pounds, that will
do more to the roadway than a
fuel-efficient hybrid vehicle fresh
off the assembly line. The physics
are different.

projects tackled by Keokuk County over the last year as the county deals with aging infrastructure. Photo by Steven Seeley
When a representative from
U.S. Senator Joni Ernst’s office
approached the board of supervisors recently about their concerns, it didn’t take long for the
conversation to turn to roads and
bridges.
“One of the main things…is
the road system,” said Supervisor
Mike Hadley.
Over 20 large projects have
been tackled by the county just in
the last year.
That’s a big investment for a
small county.
Gas tax revenues and sales tax
money help, but they go only so
far.
For Wood, restrictions on the
federal level are a major headache.
With funding come myriad restrictions on local government
bodies, restrictions that add to
the difficulty for projects.
For Hadley, the uncertainty is
a major problem. Not knowing
how much revenue to expect creates confusion.
If counties knew they would
have only a certain amount of
money to work with each year,
that knowledge at least could
be used in budget calculations.
Changes along the way, especially during the middle of a budget
cycle, are not helping.
“I just need some stability,” said
Hadley.
City talks nuisance property plans
signred@lisco.com
Sigourney City Council is looking
at how to proceed with a nuisance
property that may soon be sold.
In September, council opted to
give the property, located at 102 W.
Clark St., and which is owned by
William Rasplicka, until Dec. 31 to
be brought into compliance.
With a possible sale of the property, council discussed how to
handle nuisance abatement for the
property.
Precise details about the sale were
lacking, which gave council members pause.
“I’d be totally comfortable with
it if we had a purchase date,” said
Councilman Randy Schultz.
While the property itself is supposed to be brought up to code by
no later than Dec. 31, the prospect
of a new owner who could then demolish existing structures on the
property and build new, was of interest to council members.
That would allow for both abatement of the nuisance and put additional value on the property in the
form of a newly-built home.
Council members opted not to
take action on the property pending
gathering additional information.
Also during the Oct. 21 meeting,
council discussed the possibility of
forbidding parking on the west side
of the 300 block of South Stuart.
According to Mayor Terry
Hollingsworth, the city had been
approached about vehicles blocking access for use of a bus.
Hollingsworth was reluctant to
see banning parking.
Council took no action to close
that section of street to parking at
this time.
The next meeting of Sigourney
City Council is set for Wednesday,
Nov. 4 at 6 p.m.
Cargill requests Urban Renewal District
signred@lisco.com
A request for establishing an urban renewal district was presented to Keokuk County supervisors
Monday but was not granted immediate approval.
Jane Fallon, vice president and
general manager for Cargill Pork,
was joined by SADC Executive
Director Jim Dickinson and Robert Josten, a partner in the Dorsey
& Whitney legal firm, to ask for
Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
through an urban renewal district.
“We are basically finished with
construction of our feed mill in
Hedrick, Iowa,” said Fallon.
According to Fallon, establishment of such an incentive had
been part of an understanding
between the company and the
county back in the early days of
the project.
Supervisors did not agree with
that assessment and questioned
the value to the county.
For Supervisor Daryl Wood,
with the facility already having
been built, the question came
down to why the county should
offer such an incentive given that
the facility is already a done deal.
“What’s in it for our county?”
questioned Supervisor Michael
Berg.
Berg noted that other businesses in the county were operating,
with more employees in some
cases, than the 15 employees Cargill will utilize, but that those other businesses have not received
similar assistance.
The use of county infrastructure, for example traffic on county
roads, was an issue for Supervisor
Michael Hadley.
Deferring some taxes for Cargill
would not help the county’s road
situation.
Josten advised supervisors that
the request was not all or nothing but rather could be modified,
for example to include some area
roads within the urban renewal
district.
Supervisors sought input from
Keokuk County Engineer Andrew McGuire about this, and
McGuire noted that such arrangements are not unheard of.
Josten cautioned that the deadline for action was rapidly approaching. The window for the
county to take action to set public
hearings would be no later than
two weeks down the road.
Supervisors opted not to give
immediate approval on the request at Monday’s meeting.
Sigourney moving ahead with seeking drivers
signred@lisco.com
Following action at the board’s
most recent meeting, the Sigourney Community School District
is pushing forward to increase
the pool of available drivers for
the district.
The board voted Oct. 14
to act to attract more staff.
“The district will revisit the
bus driver’s pay scale when
this contract is up in Spring of
2017,” said Sigourney Superintendent Dave Harper. “The salary scale will remain the same,
but the district will be offering
driver incentives for new drivers
of $1,500 and current drivers will
receive $500.”
Hiring additional drivers is
planned.
“The district is currently still
looking for one route driver and
also sub drivers,” said Harper. “Sub
drivers would drive for various
athletic events and field trips.”
Harper said he hoped for good
results from the changes.
“We are fully expecting to see
an increase interest in community members interested in driving
a school bus,” said Harper. “We
feel the incentive being offered
should attract drivers to drive for
the district.”

Pekin Elementary continues to grow
Student enrollment up, curriculum director APR certified
By Hailey Brown
News Editor
In the midst of county wide talks
about decline in rural schools, Pekin
schools continue to see growth.
Pekin Elementary K-5 Principal
Kim Ledger has said that student
enrollment continues to climb for
the school, putting the number this
year at about 315 students.
Ledger expressed appreciation
that the Pekin School Board agreed
last spring to have three sections
of Kindergarten instead of two, as
more students came to Pekin after
the deadline.
“We’re at nineteen [students]
across all three sections,” she said.
“I’m very grateful, as are the Kindergarten teachers, that we’re in three
sections instead of two.”
The number of students is not the
only thing growing for Pekin Elementary. Ledger says BRI and FAST
testing has been completed and
FAST testing expanded this year to
include K-3 grade.
Ledger was also able to send
four teachers to the “Handwriting
without Tears” conference in Des
Moines and the school received one
set of free materials for four different grade levels.
“It is a research based developmental program from Kindergarten on
up,” she said. “It does manuscript, it
also does cursive.”
She mentioned that with the growing
need to keep up with technology, keyboarding is also an important skill to
expand on in the future. She said there
is a “Keyboarding without Tears” seminar available as well for consideration.
One of the biggest points emphasized by Ledger during the Pekin
Elementary School update was the
Ciriculum Director responsibilities.
“We are now APR certified,” said
Ledger. “And that is a very big deal.”
APR (Annual Progress Report) is
part of the required state reporting that
all schools completed by Sept. 15. The
report includes information regarding
academic proficiency, academic goals,
dropouts, graduation rates, attendance
rates, and post-secondary data.
“Districts analyze student achievement data to determine if goals are
being met, and devise a plan for increased improvement,” said Ledger.
“Our plan was certified and did not
require revisions.”
With the growing student population and an array of busy schedules
for parents and teachers, a presentation is scheduled for Nov. 5 on “How
to Get Kids to Mind Without Losing
Yours” at 6:30 p.m.
“We are tying it in conjunction with
parent-teacher conferences,” said Ledger. “We thought it was a good time
with parents already in the building.”
Ledger hopes that with no school the
next day parents may be willing to stay
a couple of hours to hear the seminar
presented by Jim Garnett.
“If you’re free that evening and you’re
a parent, come on down,” she said.
There will be concessions available
during the evening as well. Ledger
said FCCLA has agreed to provide
childcare for everyone who needs
it that night, however it will be on a
pre-registration basis.
“This is open to the public, it is not
just a Pekin Community School parent event,” Ledger said.
Perhaps the most talked about
item on her progress report during
the board meeting was concerns
about classroom counselor guidance, something that used to be covered by the school.
“[Classroom counselor guidance]
is something we put on the wayside
when we did a reduction in force,”
Ledger said. “I’m looking for a way
to fi ll that need that is there.”
Ledger told members of the board
she was seeing a void in emotional
and social support for students. Although there is a guidance counselor on hand, she said that is more for
one-on-one issues with students and
not whole-class instruction.
“Individual needs, referrals, sensitive
issues that require one-on-one from a
counselor are being covered,” said Ledger. However, she believes the need for
whole-class guidance is still there.
“I believe classroom guidance is a
preventative program that directly
teaches students about appropriate
social interactions, communication
skills, study habits, and a variety of
other topics that would be included in
lessons,” said Ledger.
The board discussed that this position was not budgeted for this year and
may be something to consider in the
future as a shared position with another school. It was not an action item, so
no motion was made at this meeting.
“I truly understand the need for it,”
said Superintendent Dennis Phelps.
“The best thing I could do is explore
and see if anyone would be interested
[in sharing a counselor] and then come
back to the board.”
The next Pekin School Board meeting will be held Nov. 9 at 6 p.m.

United States.”
Organizers hope that by conducting this mock caucus, students will
understand how the process works
and the experience will motivate
them to get involved with the actual
Iowa Caucus when they turn 18.
Another factor making this a
truly unique event is its bipartisan
nature. Instead of holding one specific event for each party to attend,
both may come together to cast
their votes.
“Students will participate in both
a Republican and Democratic Caucus and cast votes for the presidential candidate of their choice in
both parties,” organizers emphasize. “The results will be tallied at
the site. Statewide vote totals will
be reported that night by Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate.”

Bernadine Gordon
Bernadine Gordon, age 93, of Sigourney, died Monday, Oct. 19, 2015, at the
Keokuk County Health Center in Sigourney.
Bernadine was born June 10, 1922 in the farm home near Lancaster homesteaded by German grandparents
Christopher and Matilda Fauth Seaba
first child of parents Roy Earnest and
Louie Pearl Vandament Seaba. She
was a member of the ‘great generation’
who lived through World War II and
the depression. Bernadine learned to
be fiercely independent. She shared
many stories including how her
mother squeezed back “egg money” to
buy fabric for a high school home ec
project. She graduated from Sigourney High School in 1940 and went to
Ottumwa Business School. She was
employed in the personnel department at John Morell’s, then became
head bookkeeper for Wimmer’s three
Department stores before being hired by the Keokuk County Assessor. She
worked under three different assessors for 34 years retiring in 1991.
Bernadine was a member of Sigourney United Methodist Church, Martha
Circle of UMW, former Sunday school teacher, Lydia’s Red Hat Ladies, and
Keokuk County Arts Council when they were raising money to repair the
fountain. Bernadine especially loved working in the craft and candy booth
at the fall church bazaar. She was a champion divinity maker. Bernadine was
both mother and father to her three children. Not an easy task in the fifties. At
times she worked two jobs, leaving the office to go to another job after work.
She never complained and gave all lovingly. Christmas was her special love
with all the shopping and giving. She gave equally and when one gal or guy
opened a gift, the others knew immediately what they were getting. Then the
gathering and making would begin for next Christmas. She enjoyed many
kinds of crafts including sewing, ceramics, painting, and especially Brazilian
embroidery. Each year she learned a new craft during her Texas stay...one
year it was wood carving. Grandma B loved to travel and had visited Hawaii,
Great Britain, Italy, and the Holy Lands as well as many bus trips to various
states. She had wintered in Florida, Arizona, and Port Aransis, Texas for ten
years with dear friend, Jean Duncan. She treasured coming home with souvenirs, pictures of her feet, and stories for all her loved ones. With declining
health due to congestive heart failure, she left her home in Sigourney in January 2015 and has since then only wanted to go home. Her hands are still,
resting and now she has gone home on Monday as she said she would to be
with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 93 years, 4 months, and 9 days of service on God’s earth.
Survivors include three childen: Linda (Roger) Fritchen of Sigourney, Larry (Sonda) Petermann of Grinnell and Rick (Dalene) Gordon of Florida;
grandchildren: Chanda Petermann and Andrea (Clint) Albert of Sigourney;
great-grandchildren: Carter and Chloe Wallerich of Sigourney and Garrison
Petermann; sister: Sarah Taylor and brother: Dean Seaba, both of Sigourney;
two nieces: Valerie (John) Hill of Fairfax and Brinda (Mark) Porter of Ames
and two great nieces: Carlyn and Laine Hill. She was preceded in death by
her parents; grandson: Timothy Lee Fritchen; brother-in-law: Ronald Taylor;
sister-in-law: Marcelene Seaba and nephew: Lynn Seaba.
Funeral service was held on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2015, at the Sigourney United Methodist Church, with Pastor Vince Homan officiating. Burial will be at
Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Sigourney.
A memorial fund has been established for the Lewis Memorial Fountain,
KCHC Activity Department or Sigourney United Methodist Church. Powell
Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Sigourney is caring for Bernadine
and her family. Tributes may be left at www.powellfuneralhomes.com.
Irene Vogel
Irene V. Harkins Vogel, 83, died Oct. 19, 2015 at the Keokuk County Health
Center in Sigourney. She was born Oct. 9, 1932 to Paul and Marjorie Messerschmitt Harkins at the Ottumwa Hospital. Irene attended country schools; in
kindergarten she rode her horse to the rural Ben Butler School in Highland
Center. The family moved to the family farm at Rose Hill; there she attended
the “Little Red Schoolhouse” for the
first grade. They moved to Keswick to
a rural farm in the fifth grade, and she
walked into town to school. During
her 8th grade year, Irene’s family
moved into Keswick. Irene graduated
from Keswick High School in 1950 as
valedictorian.
Irene’s fondest memories are of the
Keswick Kittens basketball team making two trips to the State tournament
in 1948 and 1949. Those teams were
winners of several district and sectional championships games along the

It’s party time
Richland Pink Party for a Cure raises over $11,000
By Hailey Brown
News Editor
Being from a small town in Iowa does
not mean someone or a group of people
cannot accomplish great things.
A prime example is the Richland Pink
Party for a Cure.
Founded by Darcy Hackert, Kathy
Coleman and Sandy Williams in 2008,
the Richland Pink Party for a Cure
mission is, “To inspire Southeast Iowa
breast cancer patients and caregivers; by providing proactive planning
and awareness, monetary support
and continued healthcare education.”
As a non-profit organization that raises money for breast cancer patients in
Jefferson, Keokuk, Mahaska, Wapello
and Washington counties, each hospital
the organization contributes to directly
receives the donated funds to assist with
individuals in need, ensuring that the
money impacts those in the Southeast
Iowa community.
“With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we wanted a
way to do something in the community knowing our proceeds stayed in
our community,” reads the Richland
Pink Party website. “Darcy came up
with the idea as she was diagnosed
in 2004 and then declared cancer
free in 2005. So in 2008, she said, ‘We
should do something this fall during
October.’ And it was off from there.”
Each year Richland Pink Party for a
Cure holds the annual event in October.
Following a free-will offering dinner,
there is an auction where the organiza-
Sandy Williams watches the
auction portion of the Richland Pink Party for a Cure at
Mother Cabrini on Oct. 17. The
event was held for a non-profit
organization that raises money
to help breast cancer patients
in Keokuk, Wapello, Jefferson,
Washington and Mahaska Counties. Photo by Hailey Brown
tion auctions off donated items.
The proceeds go back to patients
undergoing treatment and also goes
towards scholarships created to help
those entering a medical field that have
been affected by breast cancer in some
manner, according to the organization’s
website.
This month the Richland Pink Party
for a Cure was held at Mother Cabrini
Hall in Richland on Oct. 17. According
to Libertyville Savings Bank, the Richland Pink Party for a Cure raised over
$11,000 this year and year-to-date they
have raised over $70,000.

ter and into the spring.
Nor does it help that my undergraduate alma mater is 500 miles away,
and there is a snowball’s chance on a
hot summer day of ever seeing my old
school’s games televised out here. Part
of a school that was officially pacifist,
my school’s mascot was a beaver –
hardworking, industrious and, importantly, non-violent – in keeping with the
school’s beliefs. Even if we could muster
up an impressive season, I doubt the
networks would be clamoring for the
broadcast rights.
Baseball offers some relief during the
rest of the year, but I’m hard-pressed to
name a team with whom I would feel
comfortable. The Cubs have recently
made headlines, and I’ll admit some
charm there. More so than even the
team itself, Cubs fans are just impressive. Through thick and thin, they stay
loyal.
Practically nobody knows loyal the
exact same way a Cubs fan knows loyal.
That’s dedication.
Still, I would feel uncomfortable
latching on to the Cubs right as they
have had a great season.
Better to take my lumps for a few
years and earn the privilege of being a
loyal Cubs fan through years of frustration and then appreciate it all the more
when they do have that winning season.
Which leaves me looking at the prospect of being bereft for the coming
months.
I could mourn this loss, but instead,
I’m thinking I can turn the situation to
my advantage. Since I’m largely without a major Big 10 affiliation, maybe I
can be borrowed. Apparently, there is
a tradition of this, for example at the
Olympics, going back at least as far as
the Seoul Summer Games in 1988, with
enterprising individuals offering to provide your team with vocal support from
the bleachers.
With a hefty travel commitment
– to Southeast Asia, in that case – it
made some sense. While the Big 10
doesn’t quite involve that far to travel,
its growth over the last few years has
made the organization a sprawling behemoth, stretching from Nebraska to
the Atlantic Ocean. At last count, it’s
up to 14 teams. The math doesn’t quite
make sense to me, but, hey, I’m willing
to overlook such a quibble.
Factor in other conferences, exempla gratia the ten teams of the Big 12
Conference (which like its counterpart
seems to have some unique math in
play) and you have quite the territory.
It’s a vast, multi-state area, including
numerous states and traveling teams
who could use a vocal supporter.
I don’t quite vouch for my knowledge
of every sport’s intricacies. I think that
ship sailed too long ago for me to catch
up, no matter how fast I tread water.
So, you won’t be getting a knowledgeable fan.
Maybe this is for the best. I know my
own limits. As such, I can guarantee my
chances of ever arguing with a referee’s
call are rather slim.
I’ll take the expert’s word for it.
What I lack in knowledge, though,
perhaps I can make up for in enthusiasm.
Give me something to wave, a good
seat and some tailgating grub, and I’m
all set.
Brats, hamburgers, hot dogs, chips,
deviled eggs, it’s all good.
Let the bidding commence.
Playoff time returns
It is playoff time already, and I can’t believe the
nine game football season is gone. It just flew
by, and now we are in the post season. The first
round of the state playoffs are Wednesday night
and hopefully we will have some area winners to
talk about next week.
Sigourney/Keota punched its playoff ticket
with a 26-0 whitewashing of West Marshall Friday night. The Cobras will host Hudson Wednesday night with “Dome Dreams” dancing in their
heads. Pekin will also be hosting a playoff game
Wednesday despite a 16-12 loss to Winfield-Mt.
Union in a battle for the district title. The Panthers will host the Hawks from Lynnville-Sully.
Pella Christian qualified as a three seed, and the
Eagles will travel to Wilton Junction to take on
a tough Wilton Community team. Friday night
the Eagles played top ranked Iowa City Regina
tough before falling 31-14. The Eagles piled up
446 yards of offense in the game, and that is the
most that any team has put up against the Regals.
Other playoff games featuring teams in our
neighboring areas include; Fairfield at Pella, Twin
Cedars at Lenox, Iowa Falls at Albia and Belmond-Klemme at Pleasantville.
The Regional Cross Country meets were held
Thursday afternoon, and several area kids made
the state field. When you talk about Regional
Cross Country, Pekin always is there. Coach Davis Eidhal had been coaching for 50 years, and his
teams always seem to peak at this time of year.
Tales of the
Ancient
Sportsman
By Burdell Hensley
Columnist
And true to form, the Panthers won both the
girl’s and boy’s regional titles.
Probably the most incredible feat of all the regions statewide was the effort turned in by the
Pekin girls. The Panther girls had all seven runners place in the top 15, and they won the meet
easily. Gwynne Wright won the individual title
and Shea Dahlstrom was second. Following the
leaders were: Taylor Lock in fourth, Zoey Wright
ninth, Hunter Lock tenth, Holli Looper eleventh
and Peyton Lock fourteenth. Those seven reasons
alone lead me to believe that Pekin has to be favored to win the Class 1A state title this weekend.
The Pekin boys won the meet as well, but they
were not as dominant as the girls. The Panthers
still put three runners in the top 15 lead by a second place finish by Ryan Millikin. Also making
All-Region were Malcom Myers in eighth place
and Austin Farris in ninth place. Pella Christian’s
Grant Dunsbergen was the tenth place finisher.
In Class 3A, Oskaloosa sent three runners to
state. In the girl’s race, Lauren Coon was seventh
and Sienna DeJong was ninth. In the boy’s race,
Austin Scholes was 13th.
There is a heartwarming story out of the Regional meet at Columbus Junction that has made
National News and it demonstrates that we still
have young people that believe character counts.
Davis County’s Zach Hogland won the individual race by a long ways and as he was watching the
other runners come in he noticed a problem.
A Mediapolis runner was suffering a medical
problem and was staggering and falling as he approached the finish. Hoagland was appalled that
nobody was going to the aid of the young man, so
he went back onto the course, picked the Mediapolis runner up and guided him to the finish line.
The rule states that no runner may aid or be
aided while on the course; therefore both runners
were disqualified, and Hoagland’s victory and
state qualification were taken away. Hoagland
said after the meet that he would do the same
thing again. First place was not that important
because the Mediapolis runner obviously needed
help, and he was hospitalized after the meet.
There is good news. The top three teams in each
region go to state and Hoagland’s teammates rallied to grab that third spot by four points. Zach
will be in the state field also and I can assure you
that all eyes will be upon him. What a great story
and I applaud Zach Hoagland.

Newton 30-0. Roe Campbell scored three times
while Burrell Smith and Don Bowen each had
a TD. Oct. 26- Bussey came from behind to nip
Hedrick 9-6. Joe Young scored for Hedrick while
Visser stood out for Bussey.
50 years ago: Oct. 25, 1965- Penn breaks a 23
game losing streak with an 18-14 win over Iowa
Wesleyan. Chuck Henry led the Statesmen with
178 yards and two TD’s. Oct. 30- Sigourney

to Rick Dill and Rex Pershio while Bill Stirlen and
Ken Arduser ran for touchdowns. Pekin’s Bob
McCormick ran for a score and Gordon Mitchell
caught a TD pass from John Collett.
25 years ago: Oct. 26- Eddyville’s Holly Barnes
won her fourth District Cross Country title while
Matt McKenna qualified for the boy’s state meet
with a sixth place finish. Oct. 26- The Sigourney
Girl’s Cross Country team qualified for the State
Meet. Members of the team are Angie Billman,
Heather Bombei, Sally Snook, Erin Strobel and
Jenny Bucklin. Oct. 27- Sigourney crushed Class
1A No. 1 ranked Iowa Valley 36-6, but missed the
playoffs. The play of both offensive and defensive lines stood out as well as the inside-outside
game of Chris Coffman and Mark Greiner. Oct.
27- North Mahaska clinched a playoff spot with
a 33-8 win over Eddyville. B. J. Smith returned
an interception for a TD and then threw scoring
passes to Ben DeBoef and Andy Lindenman.
Rob and the grandsons came up Saturday and
winterized our house, so I guess we are ready. The
thought of winter disturbs me a little, but in the
meantime, let’s enjoy some playoff football and
tournament volleyball.
Remembering favorite pets
In thinking about “pets,” I’m certain
we’ve each had different ones, but also
a favorite. I know this is true of myself. I’ve had pet dogs of all sizes and
kinds, the same for cats, also a pony,
horses and a goat.
Of these, the goat was not a “most
favorite,” but I also didn’t keep it very
long, partly because it kept getting out
of where it was supposed to stay. In
regard to horses or a pony, “Old Dell”
was the horse I rode when Dad was
putting hay in the haymow. Later, I
had a riding horse, “Goldie.” A family
friend loaned my brother and [me]
a pony named “Tony.” The pet dogs
we’ve had varied from smaller, indoor
kinds to the larger outdoor ones.
Of all the pets, “Jerry, the cat” was
probably a favorite, especially in my
childhood. You see Jerry could go “in
and out” of our house on his own. He
was a short-haired part Persian and
the fur was kind of striped. Now to
go “in and out” it was via the screen
door in the kitchen of our house.
When “Jerry” had the need to go outside, he’d go to this screen door, push
it with his head and a front paw and
then walk out. To return, he would
use his right front paw and pull out
a little then to put his nose in a little

With the Hawkeyes plowing through
the remainder of the season, I’m facing
the approach of a span of time with no
team allegiance, at least until football
season kicks off again next year.
My wife, a graduate of the University of Iowa, came from a divided home.
While she was a Hawkeye, her baby
brother is an Iowa State alumnus.
For those keeping track, that is one (1)
Hawkeye alumna plus one (1) Cyclones
alumnus, making two (2) alumni – two
somewhat vocal alumni, to be precise.
With the wife, it’s the Hawks year
round, but I find myself in a quandry
as she prepares to simply switch over
to cheering on the Hawks in another
sport. I never really bonded with Hawkeye basketball or other non-football
sports during my time at the University
of Iowa, leaving me at a loss come win-

ways, then keep pushing to get his
body inside.
Not only did “Jerry” go in and out,
he also stayed in the kitchen and dining rooms only. Then later he learned
to put himself in my wicker doll buggy…and on his own!! I first learned
this when I when I went to get the
doll buggy I’d left one time in the
dining room. So, I took him for a
ride that first and many other times.
I soon learned he liked to sleep in the
doll buggy.
After learning he liked riding and
sleeping in this buggy, I decided to
treat him like a doll and put a bonnet
on him…and he didn’t object!! (so I
did this many more times). He’d also
take his naps with the bonnet.
An “outdoor” cat we had was also
special to me and also during my early childhood. It was one of the “barn
cats.” During the years before my parents got milking machines, I would
help with the milking but only with
certain cows. Quite often, some of the
“barn cats” would sit behind a cow
along the wooden beams along the
floor. One of the cows I milked was
“Polly,” and I soon became aware of
this same gray cat, sitting and staring
at me.
One time when I was milking Polly, I squirted some milk at this gray
cat. On my second try doing this, he
opened his mouth and caught some
milk! After that, he would be sitting at
this same place just waiting for me to
“send” or squirt milk to him! Sometimes, there would be another “barn
cat” with him, but could never open
its mouth at the right time to “catch”
the milk. Yes, one did occasionally
but not like the gray cat.

The first item on the agenda was a dangerous animal complaint. Mike Spilman talked

that he had been approached by two dogs running at large before, but on Sunday, October 4,
2015, these same two dogs came upon him and
the medium sized white one, that appeared to
be a bulldog, attacked his dog. He called the
Sheriff’sofficeandtheytoldhimtofileareport
with the City and then the Council can contact
the City Attorney, if they want to proceed with
any action. Due to this complaint and many others about these dogs, Greiner made a motion
to have the City Attorney write a letter and have
the Sheriff serve papers to the owner of the dog
to have it removed from the City by Friday, October 30, 2015, or to ask for a hearing with the
Council by that date. Bunnell seconded. Roll
call – all ayes. Motion carried.

in the City. This was discussed at the October
2, 2015, meeting and there were several neighbors in attendance that were concerned about
the location of the rescue center, as well as the
barking. The City Attorney discussed several
regulations that could be adopted, as well as
the barking being considered a nuisance. Bunnell made a motion to have Jeremy Greiner and
Mike Mefford talk to the owner of the Animal
Rescue Center to see what their intentions are
for the future and report back to other Councilmembers by the November meeting. Frye
seconded. Roll call – all ayes, with Cernic abstaining.
The Clerk reported that the Civic Center
Committee may apply for the Keokuk County
Community Endowment Grant for electrical upgrades at the Civic Center, if the bid is reasonable. The Council talked about applying for the
grant for security cameras in the City. If a bid
is obtained, the Clerk will apply for a grant for
cameras.
Greiner made a motion to adjourn at 8:21

DELTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2015
6:00 P.M.
DELTA CITY HALL
The Delta City Council met in regular session Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2015 at the Delta City
Hall. Mayor Votroubek called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Councilmembers answering roll
call were as follows: Walker, Todd Fisher, Barb
Fisher and Whitmore. Absent: Rostami. Others
present for the meeting were Haley Brown and
the City Clerk.
Upon motion by Walker and second by
Todd Fisher, the consent agenda was approved
as presented. Roll Call Vote: Walker, aye; T.
Fisher, aye; B. Fisher, aye; Whitmore, aye.
Old/New Business discussion consisted
of the ongoing nuisance abatements. Walker
made a motion to have the City Attorney, Dustin
Hite, proceed with legal nuisance abatement of
the property at 408 N. Center Street; Barb Fisher seconded the motion, all ayes. The owner
has had plenty of time to clean up the property
and has failed to do so. Also included in the discussion was the property at 206 N. 1st Street
W. The contract owner has been given 60 days
by the Court to clear the property of junk cars
and debris and if they do not, the City will then
proceed to clean it up.
The Council and Mayor discussed the
next two properties to be on the agenda to be
cleaned up. The City Attorney, Dustin Hite has
advised the Council to do only two nuisance
abatements at a time as they are quite costly
and time consuming.
Walker made a motion to approve use of
the City Hall for the Republican Caucuses to be
held Monday, Feb. 2, 2016 in the evening. Barb
Fisher seconded the motion. All ayes.
The lagoon improvements were discussed and upon motion by Todd Fisher and
second by Walker the bid was awarded to Bill
Tremmel for the estimate of $9,500.00 to repair
the dry ponds. Vote on the motion, all ayes.
(Troy Demoney was also contacted by Mayor
Votroubek for an estimate but did not get back
in touch with him.)
An animal ordinance amendment for
livestock inside City limits was discussed and
a draft will be sent to the City attorney to look
over.
The Mayor/Maintenance report was given
and discussed.
There being no further business to discuss at the time upon motion by T. Fisher and
second by B. Fisher the meeting adjourned at
6:30 p.m. All ayes. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2015 at 6:00 p.m.
at the Delta City Hall.

This is a weekly feature highlighting some of Iowa’s unsolved homicides in the hopes that it
will lead to new tips and potentially help solve cases. The project is a partnership between this
newspaper and other members of the Iowa Newspaper Association.
DORIS ELAINE KONECNE
Doris Elaine Konecne, secretary for
Union County Attorney Robert Rolfe,
was found dead on the kitchen oor
of her Creston apartment the morning
of October 28, 1973. Overturned and
broken furniture as well as numerous
bruises around Konecne’s neck indicated she had been strangled after a struggle.
First to arrive at the crime scene were
Union County Deputy Sheriff James
Hildebrand and Marion Manley, acting
chief of police for the Creston Police
Department. With foul play clearly evident, the two began taken evidentiary
crime scene photos. Shortly after photographing the full crime scene, County Attorney Rolfe and County Sheriff
Don Loy arrived on the scene and conducted their own walk-through. Once
those two nished and left the scene,
Hildebrand and Manley reentered the
apartment, where they found the crime
scene had been tampered with. Hildeb-
rand and Manley asked that an autopsy
be conducted, but Loy and Rolfe denied the request, claiming that Konecne had died from an unfortunate accident while drinking alone.
Konecne was rumored to be involved
in an extramarital affair with both Rolfe
and Loy. On the night of the death,
Loy’s 15-year-old daughter allegedly overheard an explosive argument
between her parents and her father’s
secretary/mistress, Jule Sturzenegger,
followed by a discussion among those
three and County Attorney Rolfe, on
how all of them would handle the unfortunate incidents that had transpired.
No calls to the BCI (now known as
the Iowa DCI) to request investigative
assistance into Konecne’s suspicious
death were ever made. An autopsy was
not conducted. No criminal investigation took place. Konecne was buried in
a turtleneck sweater to hide the choke
marks on her neck.
Doris Elaine Konecne | Age: 38
Died: October 28, 1973 | Hometown: Creston

ANYONE WITH ANY INFORMATION concerning Doris Elaine
Konecne’s unsolved murder is encouraged to contact the FBI at (712)
258-1920 or contact Special Agent in Charge Mike Motsinger at the

‘Cinderella’ Comes to SHS
By Summer Barthelman
“Cinderella” is the school musical
for this year. The practices will start
after winter break; however, there
could be some ballroom dance lessons late this fall. The main fund-
Finishing XC
On the cross country team there
are 3 seniors. They are Lily Hammes,
Madeline Berg, and Danielle Stout.
Two of them, Lily and Danielle, have
the same favorite memory, which is
hiding from Coach Harter. Madeline’s favorite memory is when Jesse
Fritz ran into a pole and ripped his
shorts while running.
This year, officials have added an
extra .6 mile to the girls’ distance
to make it equal for both boys and
girls. Madeline and Danielle both
like it better because they run the
same distance as the boys, but Lily
does not really notice the change
in distance. All three girls will be
running after high school to stay in
shape and for fun. Danielle Stout’s
favorite part is that she gets to run
with her friends. Madeline Berg’s favorite part is making fun of Coach
Harter and team dinners. Then lastly, Lily Hammes’ favorite part is that
the team is tight.
A Movie Review
By Adam Hames
A group of teenagers are being
haunted by a cruel serial killer
named Freddy Krueger who kills
his victims in their dreams. When
the survivors are trying to find a
reason for being chosen, Freddy
won’t lose any chance to kill them
as soon as they fall asleep.
Well, this was the beginning of
“Freddy Krueger,” who certainly
became famous in the horror movie genre. Of those horror films that
spawned numerous sequels (this
one, Halloween, etc.) this was the
best of the “opening” shows. It definitely is frightening.
It has the usual crude teenagers,
some gratuitous sex, wild Krueger

for showing Johnny Depp’s film debut. Boy, does he look young! He
looks about 16 years old, as does
Heather Langenkamp, who went
on to play in several more of these
“Nightmare” stories. This was the
only movie in which she was foulmouthed. It’s nice to see Rony

This film is a classic and a lot of fun.

Devastating district is Sigourney’s demise
By Adam Meier
Regional Sports Editor
Second-ranked Bellevue, 9thranked Regina and 13th-ranked
Central Elkader were all a part of
the Class 1A Cedar Rapids district
in the boys’ field last Thursday. In
the girls’ field, 2nd-ranked Central
Elkader, 6th-ranked Regina, 9thranked Starmont and 15th-ranked
Marquette Catholic, along with Durant’s Alyssa Williams, who is the
top-ranked girl in Class 1A, all met
in Cedar Rapids as well.
This meant the Sigourney varsity cross country team had itself
a mountain to climb at the State
Qualifying Meet at Seminole Valley
Park on Thursday.
Despite an absolutely stacked field,
the Savages still held their own.
Coach Andy Harter’s girls came
through with a 10th-place finish as
a team, while his boys earned 12th.
Freshman Summer Barthelman ran as well as any Savages on
Thursday, ending her season with
a 47th-place (out of 113) finish in a
time of 22:59.
Behind Barthelman, in 56th-place,
came senior Maddie Berg. Berg
capped her prep career by running
a time of 23:39.
In 69th and 72nd came a pair
of freshmen. Paige Thompson
clocked in at 24:24 to place 69th,
just ahead of Lainey Graff and her
time of 24:41.
Senior Lily Hammes wrapped up
her cross-country career by finishing in 85th and running a time of
25:45.
Megan Montgomery (25:59) finished up her junior season in 90th,
and Sarina Gretter (27:04) did the
same in 101st.
The conference-champion Sigourney boys were led by a 21st-place finish by Tyler Crawford, who crossed
the stripe in 17:58.
Will Flanegin was next in line for
Sigourney, running a time of 18:27
to place 44th, while Luke House
placed 65th in a time of 19:12.
Sigourney’s fourth-fastest runner
at Cedar Rapids, freshman Tristan
Bell, clocked in at 20:09 and finished
85th, and Sigourney’s fifth-fastest
runner, Tommy Stout, ran a time of
20:23 to place 91st out of 155.
Junior Aaron Michael rounded
out the Savages on Thursday, finishing in 101st by running a time
of 20:50.
Without a senior on the boys’ roster, Sigourney appears to be the runaway favorite to repeat next season
as SICL champions.

C.R. marks finish line for EV
By Adam Meier
There will be no 2015 State qualifiers this season for the English
Valleys cross country team – that
doesn’t mean the past three months
haven’t been a success, though.
The Bears’ season culminated last
Thursday at Seminole Valley Park in
Cedar Rapids, at the State Qualifying Meet for EV’s Class 1A district.
Coach Kiley Blythe’s girls entered
competition on Thursday without 2014 SICL champion Hannah
Greene, who sat out after fighting a
nagging leg injury all season. Without Greene, the Bears would be led
by their freshmen duo of Isabel
Schneider and Isabella Fisher.
The two capped their freshmen
campaigns in impressive fashion, finishing in the top-50 of the
113-person field.
Schneider and Fisher stayed close
for the entire race, with Schneider
eventually placing 43rd in a time
of 22:54, and Fisher coming in
44th at 22:57.
Those two, along with the return
of a healthy Greene, will make the
Bears dangerous in 2016.
EV, however, will no longer have
the always-consistent Taylor Gerard
come next fall. Gerard wrapped up
her prep cross-country career by
finishing in 77th on Thursday, running a time of 24:55.
Meanwhile, the EV boys claimed a
13th-place finish, out of 21 teams on
Thursday at Seminole Valley Park.
Only two of the team’s seven runners finished outside of the top-100
on Thursday, as it was led by freshman Jacob Glandon, who ran a
time of 18:41 and finished in 52nd
out of 155.
Clayton Moore, another freshman,
clocked in at 19:02 and placed 61st,
while Zach Axmear, a junior, ran a
time of 19:25 and finished in 69th.

who finished 78th in a time of 19:52.
Also notching a top-100 finish was
junior Thomas Glandon, who ran a
time of 20:43 to finish in 98th.
Senior exchange student Moustapha Kebe capped his season with
a 129th finish, crossing the line in
22:12, while freshman Cooper Andreassen was right there with him,
placing 131st and running a time
of 22:14.
The young and talented Bears appear poised to improve on this year’s
4th-place SICL finish, not just next
year, but for the foreseeable future.
Don’t tempt fate...
That text can wait!

Winfield-Mt. Union 16
Pekin 12
Helplessly watching the opposing
team take a knee and run out the
clock at the end of a game has got
to be one of the most discouraging
things in sports.
Especially after a near comeback.
And especially in a game that
matters more than most.
The Pekin varsity football team
watched unbeaten Winfield-Mt.
Union kneel down twice a escape
and gutsy Panther comeback on
Friday night in Mount Union.
The Wolves survived a second-half
rally by the Panthers after leading
16-0 at the half and clinched a district title, holding off Pekin, 16-12.
The loss brought Pekin’s regular
season mark to 7-2, with a first-round
playoff game at home against 6-3
Lynnville-Sully on Wednesday, October 28. A win on Wednesday would
mean another playoff game on Monday, November 2, with the opponent
and location not yet known.
Before the Panthers even knew
what hit them on Friday, they were
trailing 8-0. A 48-yard touchdown
on a wide receiver screen later in the
first half quickly made Pekin’s deficit 16-0.
Good teams with good coaching
staffs, however, thrive on making
halftime adjustments. After more
or less running wild on the Panther
defense in the first half, the Wolves
were met with a harder-hitting,
much more physical Pekin defense
in the second half. Pekin’s defensive
backs shut down WMU’s horizontal passing game in the third and
fourth quarters, while the linebackers and front-four wrecked havoc
on quarterback Kolt Rossiter and
running back Darren Hunter.
The Pekin defense didn’t just start
hitting harder, though, it started
trying to rip the ball out of WMU’s
hands relentlessly, play after play.
After the Panthers got on the
Sigourney-Keota 26

board via a five-yard touchdown
run by Trever Northup on 4th-andgoal in the third quarter, Pekin registered its first of three second-half
fumble recoveries.
With the help of a WMU personal
foul, which was one of three by the
Wolves on the night, the Panthers
cashed in again, this time of a seven-yard run by Keaton Winn. However, failed two-point conversions
on both touchdowns left Pekin
trailing by a score of 16-12, heading
into the fourth quarter.
Winn ran seven times for 54
yards, and Northup added ten rushes for 51 yards. Northup and the Pekin passing attack was completely
shut down by Winfield-Mt. Union’s
defensive backfield in the game; the
junior quarterback attempted just
four passes all night, completing
none.
Another fumble recovery by the
Panthers led to an offensive possession that ended inside WMU’s
10-yardline on a 4th-and-short that
was stopped short by the WMU defense. However, WMU’s third lost
fumble of the half gave the Panthers a chance with four minutes
still on the clock. Again, though,
the Wolves’ defense held strong and
A win over two-win West Marshall on Friday kept Sigourney-Keota in front of Pella Christian for
good, for the two-seed in Class 1A,
District 6.
SK’s suffocating defense pitched
its first shutout of the season, as the
Cobras controlled West Marshall
from the get go.
The Cobras held West Marshall to
168 yards of total offense and were
led with a monster performance
from Noah Boender. Boender, a junior defensive lineman, ended the
game with a ridiculous 3.5 sacks, to
go along with his eight tackles. Boender was joined by Alec Schuster’s
7.5 tackles and Carson Crawford’s
1.5 sacks, in SK’s 26-0 win.
Short touchdown runs by Craw-
ford and Jacob Wickenkamp allowed SK to build a 14-0 halftime
lead.
Crawford’s second touchdown
run of the night, late in the third
quarter, bumped the Sigourney-Keota lead to 20-0, before a short
touchdown run by Luke Greiner
capped the Cobras’ scoring at 26.
Carson finished with 47 yards on
11 carries, while older brother Peyton had a relatively lite workload,
rushing 16 times for 111 yards.
Greiner went for 70 yards on 14
attempts, and Wickenkamp added
22 yards on the ground and three
catches for 60 yards.
The win, SK’s fourth-straight,
sealed a two-seed for the Cobras
in the 1A District Playoffs, with
their first-round game coming on
Wednesday, October 28, against a
very good 7-2 Hudson team.
A win over Hudson would mean
another playoff game for the Cobras
on Monday, with the site and opponent yet to be determined.

the Panthers turned the ball over
on downs, and Winfield-Mt. Union
ran the final minute out to win the
district title.
Chase Copeland led Pekin’s offensive attack with 131 yards on 27 carries, while Tyler Copeland added 75
yards on 17 carries.

It was as big of a mismatch on the
court last Tuesday, as it was on paper.
A 5-19 Van Buren team came to
21-5 Pekin for the first round of Regionals last week, and didn’t stand a
chance.
The Lady Panthers rolled past Van
Buren for their 22nd win of the season, winning easily in three sets: 255, 25-9, 25-14.
The win sent Pekin to Cardinal (197) on Tuesday, for a second-round
matchup in the Class 2A Regionals.
Coach Ashley Bartels’ Panthers
used 24 assists from Courtney Comstock, ten kills from Beth Atwood
and nine kills from Cassidy Tolle to
cruise past Van Buren.
Shelbie Williams and Maci Gambell each added four kills, and Madi
Lathrop and Kennedy Coleman
pitched in two apiece.
As a team, the Panthers rattled off
22 aces on the night.
A win over Cardinal would send
Pekin to a Regional semifinal match
against the winner of 3rd-ranked
Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont and
Pella Christian, on Friday in Eddyville.

Regional rivalry goes Sigourney’s way
By Adam Meier
It’s not every day that two schools
from the same county and same conference meet up in postseason play.
That happened last Wednesday when
Keokuk County and South Iowa Cedar League members Tri-County
and Sigourney matched up with one
another in the first round of the Class
1A volleyball regionals in Sigourney.
After already beating the Trojans
in three sets earlier in the season in
Thornburg, Sigourney handled its
business again, with everything on
the line.
The Savages dominated the first
and third sets on their way to a
three-set win over Tri-County: 2514, 25-19, 25-10.
It was Sigourney’s tenth win of the
season, while the Trojans saw their
season end with two wins and 22
losses.
The win sent Sigourney to a sec-

ond-round matchup with 10thranked New London on Tuesday,
October 27, in New London.
Senior hitter Sierra Davis finished
her night for the winning Savages
with 12 kills, ten digs and three aces.
Setter Leah Carter registered 26 assists and four aces, and Anna Ohland
pitched in four kills and Autum Barthelman added three.
With the loss, Tri-County said
its goodbyes to a group of five
hard-working, persevering seniors:
Emma Bair, Taylor Markham, Jessie
Maxwell, Ginny Schmidt and Kelsey
Towns.
Leading the Trojans into 2016
will be Michaela Lundy, who led
the team in kills (91), and Myrissa
Garber, who led the team in assists
(101) and aces (21). Hitters Natalie
Steinkie and Nikayla Dowd, along
with Skyler Fisher, have pivotal roles
next year for the team as well.
