Keokuk County Ambulance
Crew Gets Anhydrous Training
By Amber Kephart
Travis Handy with Agriland FS, Hedrick held anhydrous ammonia training
for the Keokuk County Ambulance crew
Friday, April 10. Travis went over what
anhydrous ammonia could do if an individual came into contact with it, the
proper protective wear and how to care
for an individual that did come into contact with it.
Travis used a banana peel to show what
the anhydrous will do to a person’s skin,
a grape to show what it will do to a persons eyes and a dollar bill to show how
it will take the moisture out of a persons
skin. He expressed how important constant flow of water is if a person were to
come into contact with anhydrous. The
banana peel cracked into several pieces
from being bent, the grape shattered and
the dollar bill shrank in size from all of
the moisture that was sucked out of it.
When dealing with the anhydrous or
an individual that comes into contact
with it you should always wear goggles
and appropriate gloves. Casey Thompson
brought a pair of regular latex gloves that
are always on the ambulance and submersed them in the anhydrous for just
over one minute. This was to show how
important it is to wear the proper gloves.
In that time frame the latex glove was frozen. It is also important to roll the cuff
of the gloves to catch any anhydrous that
may leak down the glove.
The proper care for someone that comes
into contact with anhydrous is to have a
constant flow of water on the body. Even
if you don’t have access to clean water any
water is better than nothing. If an individual gets anhydrous in their eyes keep
the eyes open and a constant flow of water in their eyes.

Iowa Students Deserve A Strong
Investment In Our Schools
Iowa’s high school graduation rate
is the highest in the country. More
than 90 percent of Iowa high school
students graduate within four years,
compared to a national graduation
rate of 81 percent.
Iowa’s four-year graduation rate has
climbed statewide for the fourth year
in a row while dropout rates continue to fall, according to the Iowa Department of Education. Graduation
rates increased for almost all subgroups of students, including those
whose first language is not English
(7.4 percent increase), students with
disabilities (3.6 percent increase),
students who are eligible for free or
reduced-price lunch (3.6 percent increase), and Hispanic students (2.2
percent increase).
This is great news, but we must
ensure that when our students graduate, they are well prepared for 21st
Century jobs, higher education and
worker training. After all, they’ll be
competing with students from across
the country and world.
That’s why investing in our students and schools is a priority for
me. Iowa is already more than $1,600
below the national average in annual
per-pupil investment. The result is
that student achievement in other
states is increasing in other states
faster than in Iowa.
Earlier this session, Senate Democrats approved a 4 percent increase
in basic school funding, but House
Republicans voted for a much smaller 1.25 percent increase for our
schools. That is not enough to keep
up with rising costs, let alone allow
our students to compete with other
states.
Last week, Senate Democrats offered a compromise proposal to
increase basic school funding next
school year by 2.625 percent -- exactly halfway between the Senate and
House proposals. Unfortunately, Republicans refused to budge, despite
widespread reports that a meager
1.25 percent increase would result
in more crowded classrooms, fewer
course offerings and extracurricular
activities, and higher property taxes.
Iowa students are eager to achieve.
They are graduating from high
school. We must ensure that when
they do, they are ready for the 21st
Century jobs, education and training that await them. We must do the
right thing for Iowa’s future by investing in our students and schools.
Keokuk County
E911 Board Reminders
The Keokuk County E911 Board
is reminding all property owners/
occupants of the critical importance
of maintaining their individual addressing signage. These signs must
be conspicuously displayed at each
address site in order for the emergency service providers such as law
enforcement, fire and medical personnel to locate and arrive at the service location as soon as possible.
Each city within the county determines their respective addressing
system and signage display requirements. City residents are therefore
encouraged-to contact their city
clerk to learn those details and comply with those requirements.
The rural residents are subject to the
county addressing ordinance which
provides that although the initial
individual address sign is prepared,
provided and erected at E911 Board
expense, the subsequent maintenance and replacement thereof is the
responsibility of the property owner.
These rural address signs must meet
certain specifications established by
the E911 Board. Rural residents are
therefore urged and encouraged to
contact and arrange the replacement
of damaged or missing E911 individ-
ual address signs through the office
of the Keokuk County Attorney who
will contact the rural signage contractor to perform the replacement
services.
All Keokuk County residents are
further requested to report damaged
or missing rural E911 signage to the
Keokuk County Engineer or County
Attorney for the replacement thereof. The E91l Board maintains rural
street intersection signs as well as the
individual address signage.
The E911 Board also strongly suggests that all cell phone users ascertain that the Phase II chip in their
cell phone is activated. That chip
must be activated in order for the
location of the cell phone call to be
transmitted to the Public Safety Answering Point, which receives the
call and dispatches the service provider to the call scene.
Finally, the Board encourages
parents to educate their children
in the use and process of making
911 calls. Children, when alone of
their caretaker is disabled or otherwise unavailable, are particularly at
risk and in need of immediate assistance when confronted with a dangerous situation.

Week 13 was a busy one filled with
floor debate early in the week and
then continued committee meetings
to work on the budget. The budget is
the final project we must work on before the session is over. This week, I
will be discussing an issue facing our
state and the tax payers who live in
this wonderful state. Although I am
not in the Government Oversight
committee, I have been keeping a
close eye on this project because of
how important I feel it is to protect
the taxpayers. Over a year after the Iowa State
Penitentiary at Fort Madison was
scheduled to open, the prison sits
empty. Guards patrol the perimeter
and inside of the buildings, lights
are on and electric bills are being
paid but there is still no set date to
transfer prisoners. As costs continue
to rise, the House Oversight Committee continues to seek answers and
find solutions to this seemingly endless problem.
After two inmates escaped the
maximum security prison in 2005,
plans were created for a new, state of
the art prison. In 2008, the estimated construction cost of the prison
was $130.7 million, and in October
of 2013 a ribbon cutting was held.
Since that time the new prison has
faced multiple equipment problems
and design flaws that have prevented
the prison from being occupied.
In late 2013, prison officials found
problems with the geothermal system. Pumps installed with the geothermal system were found to be the
wrong size in many buildings and
corrective changes had to be made.
These changes could cost the state
$6.7 million. As of today, the geothermal systems have been fixed and
Department of Corrections Officials
believe they will continue to work.
After the geothermal issues were
fixed, the prison failed a required
smoke evacuation test. In order to
receive a certificate of occupation
from the fire marshal, smoke must
Letter to The Editor:
Another Easter Passover/resurrection Sunday has come and gone;
and judging by the usual, standard
fare of televangelists, and not a few
mega church preachers, one should
not carelessly follow a personable
religious leader merely because he
“preaches Jesus” or urges the audience to “receive the Spirit”.
“Jesus” is quite popular among
worldly people today, but not the
true Jesus. The popular Jesus may

be able to be cleared through the
ventilation system. Unlike a regular
building, windows cannot simply be
opened in a prison to clear smoke.
The solution for this problem has
yet to be found, but approximately
$350,000 has been spent to design
and test solutions. The actual cost for
the fix has yet to be determined, but
it is expected to be costly. It is unclear who will pay for these changes.
Two additional problems have also
been brought to light in the past few
months. Air leaks in some of the
buildings have required water to be
shut off when temperatures dropped.
Officials are working to find the air
leaks and a solution to the problem.
As of now, there is no estimated cost
for repair to these air leaks. Additionally, there are more problems
with the ventilation system, separate
from the smoke-clearing problems.
There is no estimated time or cost for
these repairs.
Almost a year and a half after the
projected opening date, there is still
no end in sight to the problems at
Fort Madison. The House Government Oversight Committee has continued to review documents sent by
the Department of Administrative
Services and the Department of Corrections. Unfortunately, there is no
quick solution to these problems but
the Oversight committee is working
to ensure these issues never happen
again in a public project and that the
parties responsible for these problems cover the costs and not the Iowa
taxpayer.
I have been getting many emails
from constituents over the past few
weeks about issues that are important to them. It is important to hear
from the people who I represent in
order to form an opinion on policy.

2015 Vietnam Veterans
Recognition Day
from Keith Blair, Keokuk County
Veteran’s Affairs Administrator
The Iowa Department of Veterans
Affairs will host the 2015 Vietnam
Veterans Recognition Day Remembrance Ceremony on Thursday, May
7, 2015. The ceremony will begin
at 11:00 a.m. at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial located south of the
Iowa State Capitol building in Des
Moines. Governor Terry Branstad is
scheduled to officiate the ceremony
as he did in 1984 when the memorial
was dedicated.
This year’s ceremony has a special
meaning. Recently a group of dedicated veterans learned that the name
of an Iowa Army veteran of the Vietnam War could be missing from the
Iowa Vietnam Veterans monument.
After a vast amount of research and
record checking, it was confirmed
that this Iowan was missing from the
roll call of our Iowa monument. His
service biography is as follows:
Douglas Eugene Peterson was born
May 18th, 1949 in Fairfield, Iowa, the
son of Darrell E. and Fayelda M. Peterson. He passed away 40 years ago.
He is survived by his parents and his
two sisters, Julie Glueck (David) and
Karen Vorhies (Roger), niece Crystal
McCabe (Shae), nephews Ryan Reinier and Spencer Vorhies.
Douglas Peterson entered boot
camp in November 1967 and served
in Company D, 1st BN, 505th Infantry Regiment, 82nd ABN Division.
Specialist Four Peterson was severely
wounded October 1, 1969 in Vietnam and was evacuated initially to
Camp Drake, a U.S. hospital installation in Japan. He suffered severe
wounds in his lungs, spleen, and
spine from enemy small arms fire
and never fully recovered. He died
on March 9, 1975 – age 25 – as a result of those wounds. He is buried in
Evergreen Cemetery in Fairfield.
Peterson was awarded the Purple
Heart Medal for wounds received
on October 1, 1969 and the Army
Commendation Medal with “V” device for heroism in ground combat
on July 12, 1969. The Commendation Medal citation read in part:“For heroism in ground combat in
the Republic of Vietnam on 12 July
1969. Private First Class Peterson
distinguished himself by heroism
be saved.” Finally, it is this Jesus
“who shall judge the quick and the
dead at his appearing and his kingdom.”
Jesus, as he really is, is not the
popular Jesus of T-shirts and
bumper stickers, politicians and
entertainers. He “was despised and
rejected of men” (and still is); so
they “crucified the Lord of glory”;
and would no differently today.
He is the mighty God, the perfect
man, the only Savior, the eternal
King of kings and Lord of lords.
God-ordained leaders will not
preach an imaginary Jesus who
appeals to the flesh, but rather the
true Christ of creation and salvation.
Wendall E. Carr
- Ottumwa
on 12 July 1969, in connection with
military operations against a hostile
force while serving as a rifleman in
Long An Province, Republic of Vietnam. During an ambush patrol in
which Private First Class Peterson
was a member, an enemy force of
unknown size was taken under fire.
As soon as he commenced fire, the
enemy retaliated with intense AK-47
automatic rifle fire from a range of 15
to 20 meters. Private First Class Peterson kept up a heavy volume of fire
– despite the intense hostile fire directed at his position – and silenced
the enemy. A search of the contact
area revealed the body of one North
Vietnamese soldier and valuable
documents. Through his outstanding courage, Private First Class Peterson was most instrumental in the
success of the mission. Private First
Class Peterson’s personal bravery
and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of
the military service and reflect great
credit upon himself, his unit, and the
United State Army.”
“By direction of the Secretary of
the Army under the provisions of AR
672-5-1. James E. Fritz, Major, AGC
Adjutant General.”
The Peterson family is extremely
appreciative of the efforts of these fellow veterans who were determined
to see that their son and brother is
being recognized on the Iowa Vietnam Veterans Memorial. They have
requested their privacy and are asking that media inquiries be directed
to: Colonel Robert King, Executive
Director, Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs, 515-727-3444.

Many Diggers Put Themselves
at Risk by Not Calling 811
Before you do any digging this
year, remember to call 811 at least
three days before turning dirt. Just
last year, more than 319,000 of our
customers, contractors and city
workers called 811 to locate buried
lines. That’s the most calls to 811 our
area has seen in at least the last six
years.
“That’s great progress,” said Richard Sublett, senior manager of compliance and operational performance
– Alliant Energy. “Our data shows
that calling 811 can save your life and
save you a lot of trouble.”
When you call 811, local utility
companies are notified where and
when you want to dig. Within a couple days, we send a locator to mark
the approximate location of our underground lines, pipes and cables.
That way you know what’s below and
can dig safely.
Calling 811 isn’t just a good idea;
it’s also the state law. Last year there
were 363 hits to our lines. That’s a 6%
increase over 2013. For all Alliant
Energy customers, 17% of those hits
happened because no one called 811.
That’s an increase from 2013 where
15% of hits didn’t start with a call to
811.
Calling 811 isn’t the only way to
be safe while digging. You need to
stop using power tools and hand dig
within the safe zone, which varies
from 18 to 24 inches depending on
where you live. Just last year, 26% of
hits came from digging with power
tools in this safe zone.
“Safety is a top priority for our customers and employees,” said Sublett.
“We hope customers, contractors
and others put safety as their top priority too.”
In Iowa, you must call at least two
business days in advance. Check out
alliantenergy.com/call811 for more
information.

MidWestOne Bank
Makes Award-Winning
Financial Literacy
Program Free for
Local Classrooms
Local students are getting a free education in how to manage their money.
MidWestOne Bank is working with
Banzai, a national award-winning financial literacy program, to make curriculum available to North English,
Thornburg and Sigourney schools
completely free.
“Banzai is a web-based financial literacy program. Kids get their own
accounts, and they work through assignments that are based on real life,”
Morgan Vandagriff, co-founder of Banzai, said. “But because MidWestOne
Bank is sponsoring it, local schools get
it for free. More than ever, it’s important
that kids develop sound financial skills
to prepare them for the real world, and
MidWestOne Bank realizes that and
they’re doing something about it.”
Banzai is an interactive, online program supplemented by printed workbooks which aligns with state curriculum requirements for personal finance
education. It has become the largest
program of its kind, servicing more
than 14,000 teachers in all 50 states.
MidWestOne Bank has offered time,
money, industry experience, and a variety of credit union resources to help
North English, Thornburg and Sigourney schools teach personal finance in
the classroom. Students using the program are exposed to real-life scenarios
where they learn to pay bills and balance a budget--but it’s not always easy.
Students must learn to manage unexpected expenses such as parking tickets,
interest charges and overdraft fees. The
educational program also introduces
students to auto loans, bank statements,
entertainment costs, savings and more.
“Too often students get out of school
and they just aren’t ready for the financial roller coasters life can give us,” Vandagriff said. “Banzai teaches students
to navigate those twists and turns and
come out on top. We’re excited to work
with MidWestOne Bank to improve
financial literacy in North English,
Thornburg and Sigourney.”
Teachers interested in using the Banzai program can visit midwestone.

Tales of the Ancient Sportsman
By Burdell Hensley
Spring is just busting out all over.
My daffodils and tulips are exploding with blooms and I love the spring
flowers. The lilacs and flowering crab
trees are pregnant with promise of
additional beauty and the magnolias
are glorious. Another thing I have
enjoyed in my journeys through the
countryside is the drab brown of
the pastures turning to an emerald
green. It reminds me of Ireland.
The April showers are not only
bringing spring flowers, they are
causing havoc with athletic schedules. Tuesday evening I drove down
to Ottumwa for a sophomore track
meet that Alec and Chris were to run
in. When I pulled into the parking
lot and did not see one school bus,
I suspected something to be amiss.
The boys were just leaving practice.
The meet had been cancelled and
they had practice instead. There
were thunderstorms in the area and
threatening weather was in the forecast. It doesn’t take much to cancel
an event anymore.
Saturday was the Osky Relays and
I was able to watch my grandson
run for Ottumwa and cover the Pella
teams for the Pella Chronicle. I like
it when I can kill two birds with one
stone. It is just like getting two birds
with one covey break. If Knoxville
had been in the meet, I would have
gotten three.
It was a beautiful Saturday for a
track meet and that is a plus for the
Osky Relays. Many of you old timers can recall days at the Relays that
were not so good. There were times
in the days of the old cinder track
that the mud would get pretty deep
in lane one. Then there were the days
when a cold north wind would howl
through the stadium from the open
north end. Those meets were run,
but in today’s mindset they would
have been cancelled.
The best showing by an area school
in the relays was turned in by the
Sigourney girls. The Lady Savages
won four relays and two individual
events on their way to a second place
finish in Class B with 127 points. Au-
Jane Green Larson
tumn Barthelman won the 100 and
200 dashes and the shuttle hurdle;
distance medley, sprint medley and
4 X 200 relays also grabbed the gold.
Four Sigourney girls, Barthelman,
Leah Carter, Jordan Carter and Sierra Davis each took home three gold
medals.
The North Mahaska boys notched
a third place finish in Class B with 74
points, but had only one winner. Cole
Rozendaal captured the high jump
title for the Warhawks. The Warhawk
girls finished fifth in the Class B girls’
race and they had a double winner
in Julia Groenenboom with wins in
the shot put and the discus. Jadelyn
Williams pulled out a win in the 400
hurdles for North Mahaska.
Wednesday we enjoyed a nice little
day tour to Rock Island, IL and the
historic Circa 21 Dinner Theatre.
The show was the Church Basement
Ladies Final Potluck Dinner, which
was the fifth and final show of the
Church Basement Ladies series. The
show was a delightful stroll through
yesterday for those of us who grew
up in a rural or small town church
where the church basement was the
hub of all social activity. We all could
identify ladies in our home churches
that could have been one of the characters on stage.
Sunday evening the Ancient-ess
and I journeyed down to Union Liberty Church southeast of Bussey for a
Concert with Journey Bound Quartet. The parking lot was full and the
church was packed for the concert
and it was a great time. After the concert, the Church Basement Ladies of
Union Liberty did their thing and
they do keep everything humming
in the basement. As much as I would
have liked to partake, I had to pass. I
have been battling some blood sugar
issues and what they served would
not do me any good.
I have been itching to get back on
the golf course, but things keep getting in my way. Thursday I was just
getting ready to go to the course
when I heard the rumble of thunder
that was followed by an April shower. I watched baseball on the tube
and put a 1000 piece puzzle together
instead.
I was saddened this week by the
passing of Danny Paxton of Fremont.
Danny was one of my bowlers when
I coached bowling at Eddyville. Danny loved his sport and he used all the
talent he had to the utmost. But most
of all, Danny loved his teammates
and was concerned for all of them.
He was the same way with his family. He was a super guy and definitely
will be missed.
The Major League Baseball season
is off and running. My Cardinals are
sputtering a little, but appear to be
getting it together. The team that is
really catching my attention now is
the Kansas City Royals. I have enjoyed watching them when I can
get their games. It would be nice if
the Cardinals and the Royals would
meet in the World Series again. But
this time, don’t even let Don Denkinger anywhere near the diamond.
If they only would have had instant
replay challenges in 1985.
It is time again to see what happened in our yesterdays. 100 years
ago: April 17, 1915- Iowa University
beat Penn 9-1 in a listless game on
the diamond in Iowa City. Severding
led the Hawks offensively. Gregory
pitched well for the Quakers, but was
given ragged support.
75 years ago: April 16- Eddyville
nips What Cheer 3-2. Eddyville
managed only two hits off of Lyle
Greeno, but used eight What Cheer
errors to pull out the win. Simmers
and Dale Heckenberg combined to
pitch the win. April 17- Bobby Feller pitched an opening day no-hitter for the Cleveland Indians. April
17- Ora Brown slammed a three run
home run in the bottom of the seventh with two out to give Cedar a 6-3
walk off win over New Sharon. April
17- Elliott hurled a no-hit game as
What Cheer blanked Rose Hill 2-0
Shacklett had two hits for the Warriors. April 20- DM East won its fifth
consecutive Osky Relays title. Osky
finished sixth and had wins from the
medley relay team of Bob Novak, Bob
Mason, Hal Robinson and Schafatal
and Bill Gillespie in the pole vault.
April 20- Herschel Lester outdueled
Just Reminiscing
Hilda Souer
Jack
Stanley
in a 2-0
BC
win
over
New
Sharon. Lester
allowed one hit and
Stanley was touched
for two hits. April 22- Eddyville captured the Wapello County title with a 29-5 win
over Eldon and a 19-6 drubbing of
Farson.
50 years ago: April 17- The team of
Norris and Loretta Caves and Don
and Lucile DeWitt won the mixed
doubles tourney at Crown Bowl.
April 20- It was DM Tech in Class A
and Ankeny in Class B at the Osky
Relays. Oskaloosa’s Mike Fleener set
a new record in the pole vault. Ron
Miller of English Valleys set a new
standard in the 100 yard dash. April
21- Penn’s Chuck Henry won the
Javelin throw at the Iowa Conference
Relays while Jim Freeze was third in
the Shot Put. April 21- Eddyville
tops Fremont 3-1 on the diamond.
Back-to-back doubles by Jim Powell and Roger Evans gave winning
pitcher, Jerry Schleir, all the runs he
would need.
25 years ago: April 20- Pella Christian was second in Class B at the
Osky Girl’s Relays. Winners for the
Eagles were; Sandi Van Wyk in the
400 hurdles, Anne Bruxvoort in the
100 meters, Denise Sinclair in the
100 hurdles and the 4 X 200 team
of Sheri Rozenboom, Van Wyk, Kris
Plate and Bruxvoort. Eddyville was
fourth and the Rockets had wins
from Holly Barnes in the 3000 and
1500, Robin Grim in the 400 and the
4 X 800 team of Grim, Kim Welsch,
Sonia VandeKieft and Barnes.
Have a great week and watch out
for the corn planters. They are going
to be moving.
my dad that she was concerned about
me because I had a big imagination.
My dad responded with, “Don’t worry
about her, she will grow up and face
reality.”
I do remember mother used to read
a little book about Jesus’ birth and the
pictures showed Jesus and his earthly
parents, the angels making the wonderful announcement of the birth of a
Savior, shepherds coming from their
fields, wisemen coming with gifts,
etc. The book ended with a picture of
Mary holding baby Jesus with these
words below, “And Mary pondered all
these things in her heart.” I loved that
word, “pondered.” I remember looking
it up and the definition was to think
deeply, or consider carefully.” I remember the first time I heard a pastor
telling about Mary pondering all these
wonderful happenings in the Bible.
When older, I looked up to see if there
were other words of ponderings in the
Bible.
I thought I might write them down
for you. Proverbs 4:26 tells us “to ponder the path of our feet, and let all
God’s ways be established.” What a
great thought. Proverbs 5:6 tells us to
ponder the path of life, and still another, Proverbs 21:2 says, “Every way of a

There was quite a crowd at the
Deep River Firemen’s Breakfast
Sunday. We went after church and
so did several others. The food
was good and so was the service.
I was so excited to visit with Andy
Widmer, who was helping. I hadn’t
seen him for quite some time. He
used to help Cecil chore.
Monday I went with Kenny Fayer
to Grinnell for some tractor parts
at International. We had breakfast
at McDonald’s.
Tuesday Ellen Zimmerman and
I went to North English Nursing
home for Thyme band. We had to
miss last time because of the slick
roads. Ellen picked me up.
I have been messing around in
the kitchen this week and checking
out some of my cookbooks.
I went with Kenny to Osky Thursday to see about selling his Buick.
We went early and had breakfast at
McDonald’s. I saw Kenny Thorpe’s
friend Jim from Oskaloosa and visited with him. He was going to visit
Kenny in the nursing home in Ottumwa. They always went to a lot
of sales, that’s where I got to know
him. He and Kenny went to Iowa
City and shopped and went to the
big sale off I-80 they have every
Wednesday.
Pam Flanders and I went to Pella
and Osky Friday. In Osky we went
to the Outreach Store and I got one
cookbook. They had lots of kid’s
clothes that are really reasonable.
Pam and I had breakfast at McDonald’s as we went early and were
home form dinner and my soaps.
My cousin Sharon McKay called
and said her brother Denny and
wife Julie are coming from Germany this summer to see the people
who came over a few years ago to
check out relatives. Denny wants
man is right in his own eyes, but the
Lord pondereth the hearts.” I would
say today, as an adult, if the Lord ponders the heart of man, then we should
be very careful what we are thinking
about, or considering or mediating
upon. Our minds often wander, but
listen to this wonderful verse found
in Isaiah 26:3, “God will keep him in
perfect peace, whose mind is stayed
on Him, because we trust in Him!” Pondering on these and other scriptures, I can say the Word of God truly
has great benefits! May God bless you
today. Happy ponderings to you!

Ponderings of the Heart
I was recently at a gathering when
a lady who reads my weekly Ponderings of the Heart approached me and
asked where I came up with that name
for my writings. I told her I had been
doing it for years. However, I must
admit when I first started writing for
the What Cheer Paper I called most
of my writings, “Memories of an Iowa
Farm Girl.” But even at a young age,
probably around sixth grade, I often
wrote happenings and simply marked
at the top the word, “Ponderings.” I
do recall overhearing my mother tell
319-461-5767
Just got to thinking again about
some unusual, or some might say
odd, pieces of furniture or appliances. Well the other day I was
thinking about an unusual refrigerator my parents had as I recall
its name was “Ice Ball” and I don’t
know if that was the actual name of
it or what my parents called it.
Anyway, the refrigerator itself
was like today’s chest type freezer
and had a special “slot” to the back
of the right side. This slot was for
the special/unusual refrigeration
piece. This piece reminded me of a
large dumbbell by the shape.
To use this unusual shape piece
that had two large balls attached
at each end of a large arch that
was hallow and of the same metal.
I’d watch mother head one of the
balls over a portable burner, then
the heated ball was placed in a special shaped tall tub of water. This
caused the Freon to then go to the
empty ball.
The next step was to go to the box
or chest-shaped freezer and place
the Freon ball inside with the arch
in the special slot leaving the empty ball on the outside of the chest
freezer.
Doing these steps with the special pieces allowed the different
foods to be refrigerated or kept
cold as necessary. I also recall my
parents saying it was better than an
icebox, which required blocks of
ice to keep foods cold.
Then remembering this and the
time necessary makes me appreciate the refrigerator and freezers
today.

interested in this family tree stuff;
my granddaughter Amy Fontinel
does the genealogy. I told Sharon
it was a bunch of baloney to me, as
I have a time keeping track of the
ones still living. Sharon has a large
book finished and is getting some
made for her kids and grand kids.
What a job!
Bobby Rauch calls me about everyday, he is busy with gardening.
He has some things planted already.
Leigh Armstrong was working on our grounds and Cheney’s
across the road by the Deep River
Creek were working on theirs. It
was such a nice day!

Sunday, April 26, at the EV History

since 1971, Humanities Iowa offers

of Midwest Living magazine, published by Meredith.
Dan also hosted Midwest Living Radio Magazine, which aired
on more than 100 stations in the
region. He is the author of three
books about the Midwest and
Iowa: Best of the Midwest, Taste of
the Midwest, and Parklands of the
Midwest. Long a popular public
speaker, Dan now spends his time
primarily in Urbandale and Spirit
Lake with his wife, Julie, their two
children and two grandchildren.
In his program “Iowa’s Hidden
Treasures,” Dan discusses the years
he spent traveling in almost every
one of Iowa’s 99 counties in search
of close-to-home attractions and
getaways to share with his loyal readers and viewers. You’ll be amazed to
learn what surprises you don’t know
await right in your own backyard –

A.K.’S Take on
World Events
By Aaron Kitzman
Good news everyone, I.S.I.S. has lost
all control they had in Iraq. Now the
bad news is it has doubled the area it
controls in Syria. This is without doubt
a sign that Syrian government cannot
fight I.S.I.S. alone. While we have provided airstrikes, they are done with
little understanding of where we are
bombing, the Syrian government has
offered to give us information on the
targets so that we can be more calculative in the strikes, but for whatever reason the Pentagon is refusing to do so.
I hope whatever reason they refuse to
passes soon, and I hope this age where
we seem to be blowing up town’s with
reckless abandon ends, and we begin to
truly fight alongside our middle eastern
allies in order to defeat I.S.i.S.
Spanish Trip Fundraising SENIOR SPOTLIGHTS
By: Maddie Berg,
Lily Hammes, Danielle Stout
As all of you know, the Spanish club
is going to have the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica next year. Along with
all their excitement, they are beginning
to start their efforts for fundraising.
Amanda Atkinson, the spanish teacher
and spanish club leader, said, “So far, we
have a lot of great ideas for fundraising,
but haven’t actually gotten much started yet. We are currently focussed on
running the concession stand for the
soccer games.” When it comes to the
goals for fundraising, they are more towards individual. The students will earn
their fundraising money according to
the work they put into it. The students
who want to earn the majority of their
money by fundraising will work harder
than those who don’t need fundraising
money as much. The students just started fundraising, so there is a long way
before they will meet their goals. As far as ideas, there is a lot of great
things coming! Amanda Atkinson
added, “Very soon we will start a That’s

In the coming weeks that we have left
of school, we are switching the “Heap of
the Week” up to teachers only because
for some reason the student parking lot
has a plethora of really nice cars,. We
will be coming exclusively straight from
all of our teachers’ garages.
This week’s heap comes from the one
and only, Coach Jensen. Besides the
Durango, Jensen also has a blue 2005
Cadillac CTS with 130,000 miles. He
has owned this Caddy since 2010. Jensen said that his favorite part of the car
is the Northstar engine that came with
the car. There is a ton of power in the
engine and with the smaller framed car
there is a lot of “get up and go.” Before
Jensen owned this car he owned a 2007
Ford Mustang. Unfortunately, he had to
get rid of it because the backseats would
not fit all of the kids. Even though Jensen does have a Cadillac that most any
of us would drive, he still misses his
mustang. This story is coming exclusively from the Jensen Garage.
‘Rear Window’ A Movie Review
By Adam Hames
Professional photographer L.B.
“Jeff ” Jeffries (James Stewart) breaks
his leg while getting an action shot
at an auto race. Confined to his New
York apartment, he spends his time
looking out of the rear window observing the neighbors. He begins to
suspect that a man across the courtyard may have murdered his wife.
Jeff enlists the help of his high society fashion-consultant girlfriend
Lisa Freemont (Grace Kelly) and his
visiting nurse Stella (Thelma Ritter)
to investigate. !
I saw this movie on the top 250,
and it’s #14 on top of that! I mean, it’s
gotta be great or a classic, right? Also,
I’m a fan of the Simpsons, and I got
the 6th season where Bart breaks his
leg and has to watch the kids outside
and accuses Flanders of murdering
his wife, Maude. I watched it with
commentary and the writers said
this was taken from the movie “Rear
Window”, I had to see this movie! I
know it sounds silly that I was more
inspired by a show, but it’s a good reference if it’s from The Simpsons.
“Rear Window” is an excellent
movie and a great classic that should
never be forgotten! After 51 years,
this is still a well talked about movie
,and I can see why. Jimmy Stewart,
he’s just so great as L.B. I loved his
madness and his dark comical role.
He doesn’t even try, but you can’t
help but laugh at a lot of his lines, the
way he looks, and the way he presents every scene. He didn’t have a
lot of movement, he is confined to a
wheel chair, but he is so effective and
perfect. No one could have replaced
him as L.B., he’s a terrific actor! Grace
Kelly, what a beauty! Beauty and talent, what a great combination and
she had it. Playing Liza, I loved her
character so much. She started out as
this extremely feminine lovely woman who is struggling with L.B., because he is having doubts about marrying her, and you can tell she loves
him so much and is willing to do
anything for him and to make their
lives work, despite his adventurous
side as a photographer and her being
an indoor kitten. When L.B. talks of
the murder to Liza, she is doubtful
but never dismisses that it could be
a possibility, and stays with him into
the end. She finally goes into danger
and grabs it by the you know what
and wins L.B.’s heart. I loved the ending, to me it was just one more good
laugh with L.B. and Liza. I won’t tell,
you’ll just have to trust me, it was
a brilliant way to breath and smile
again after all the suspense and drama. “Rear Window” is a true classic
and I’m extremely grateful to the reviewers of IMDb who saw this movie and gave it great reviews, and the
writers of The Simpsons! If it were
not for you guys, I nor other members of my generation would probably not view it! Let’s keep this classic
alive! 9 out of 10

Sigourney sophomore Kaden Bensen
A Strong Opening Week for Sigourney Golf
By Adam Meier
Regional Sports Editor
It was an exceptional week for
both the boys’ and girls’ Sigourney
varsity golf teams. The Savages combined to finish with three wins and
one loss during the week, with just
one stroke separating them from a
perfect week.
Sigourney started out its season
last Monday at Keota and got a 181
EV’s Davis Axmear
to 193 win from the boys, and a 203
to 271 win from the girls.
Stacy Mohr started her season
with a bang, coming through with
a round of 47; three strokes ahead
of Kendall Streigle (50) and four
strokes ahead of Katie Dillon. Ashley Shadley rounded of Sigourney’s
top four, with a 55, while Hannah
Redlinger and Sydney Striegel each
shot 68s.
For the boys, sophomore Kaden
Bensen was terrific, scoring the
lowest round of any golfer during
the day, with a 40. After Bensen,
the Savages had solid performances from Jordan Albert, who shot a
45, and Cole Streigle, who shot a
46. Blane Long rounded of Sigourney’s top four with a 50, while Colby
Kerkove shot a 53 and Tanner Halleran shot a 58.

EV Golf Opens
Up at Iowa Valley
By Adam Meier
What better way to open up the
2015 season than to do it at one of
the trickiest courses in the conference?
That’s what the English Valleys
golf team did last Tuesday, starting
its season at Iowa Valley in a dual
meet with the Tigers.
Coach Jeff Kingland’s boys were
very impressive, taking down Iowa
Valley by a count of 194 to 202.
Andrew Kerkove was better than
almost everyone last Tuesday, earning runner-up medalist with a score
of 44. Iowa Valley’s Gavin Collingwood took medalist with a 43.
Other than Kerkove, the Bears
had solid showings from Casey
Blaylock, who shot a 47, and Luke
Ackerman, who shot a 51. Brennen
Grimm rounded out EV’s top four
by shooting a 52.
On the girls’ side, the Bears were
led by Rylee Voss’s 53 and Sydnie
Stephenson’s 57. Despite those two
solid performances, EV was outpaced by the Tigers, 217 to 234.
Freshman Lexie Miller finished
third for the Bears with a 61, while
Claire Kingland rounded out the
top four by shooting a 63.
The Bears golfed at Brooklyn
on Monday, before hosting Belle
Plaine on Tuesday, April 14.
The team then made a trip to Belle
Plaine the following day and picked
up another impressive win.
Bensen led the charge again, finishing with a 41, to lead the Sigourney boys to a 179 to 184 win over
the Plainesmen.
Just behind Bensen was Streigle,
who shot a 44, along with Kerkove,
who shot a 46, and Albert, who shot
a 48.
Sigourney’s girls were just one
stroke away from completing a perfect week for the Savages, falling by
a narrow deficit of 214 to 215, at
Belle Plaine.
Despite the loss, the Sigourney
girls still had a very positive evening.
Katie Dillon took home medalist
honors from the meet, scoring the
lowest round of the night with a 50.
Mohr was also solid for the Savages, coming through with a 53. Ashley Shadley added a round of 54,
while Kendall Streigle shot a 58.
The Savages golfed at Brooklyn on
Monday, April 13, before hosting
Lynnville-Sully the following Monday.

Keota Golfers Break Out Their Clubs
By Adam Meier
Play began for the Keota varsity and junior varsity golf teams last
week with a pair of meets – one at
home at Lagos Acres Country Club,
and one on the road at Montezuma.
Both the Keota boys’ and girls’
squads were defeated in both meets,
but the Eagles put together some solid rounds, nonetheless.
Against Sigourney last Monday,
coach Rod Hill’s boys’ squad was defeated, 181 to 193, and was led by senior Grant Hill, who shot a nine-hole
round of 46.
Coming in just two strokes behind Hill, with a 48, was senior John
Mather, who was one stroke better
than junior Zach Mousel, who shot
a 49. Sophomore Avery Conrad was
next in line with a 50, ahead of Cole
Brenneman’s 54 and Cole Stout’s 56.
On the girls’ side, the Eagles were
outpaced by the Savages by a score of
203 to 271.
Grace Shemanski was far and away
the top performers for the Keota
girls, coming through with an excellent nine-hole score of 50. Abby
Schulte and Brooke Sieren each finished with 71s, while Elise Swanstrom shot a 79 and Caroline Reeves
finished with an 85.
Keota’s girls had a more well-rounded showing later in the week at Montezuma.
The Eagles lowered their team total
by eight strokes, losing to the Braves
by a tally of 230 to 263.
Again, Shemanski was the team’s
top performer, finishing with a 56.
Sieren, a senior, lowered her score by
six strokes from earlier in the week,
finishing with a 65. Senior Maitland
Sieren opened up her season with a
69, while Schulte shot a 73. Swanstrom finished her week with a 77,
four shots ahead of Reeves, who shot
an 81.
Collectively, Keota’s boys weren’t
quite as sharp as they were earlier in
the week against Sigourney.
The Eagles fell to the Braves by a
score of 173 to 198, and were led by
Mather’s 48 and Stout’s 49.
Riley Conrad came through with a
nice round of 50, while Avery Conrad shot a 51.
Keota’s top six varsity scorers were
rounded out by Jack Eakins and his
54, and Grant Hill and his 57.
Freshman Cole Brenneman was
fantastic for Keota’s junior varsity
squad, coming in with a terrific score
of 43. Hunter Wilson also played
well, finishing with a 54.
Keota is off until Monday, April 20,
when the Eagles battle against BGM
and HLV.

Wild Weather Doesn’t Slow Panthers, Savages
By Adam Meier
Nothing could stop the Pekin
or Sigourney boys’ track and field
teams from running well on Thursday, not even a severe thunderstorm
that spawned a tornado warning
just across the county.
The Panthers and Savages, along
with the likes of Cardinal, Van Buren and North Mahaska, waited out
the storm Thursday afternoon and
battled through gusty winds in the
Pekin Invitational.
The six-team field was largely
dominated by the Panthers, who
won the meet with 175 points; nearly doubling second-place Van Buren’s point total. The Savages placed
fifth with 73 points.
Pekin’s Matthew Jones (124’ 3’’)
and J.D. Hollingsworth (116’7’’)
placed one-two in the shot put,
while Sigourney’s Peyton Crawford
(112’7’’) came in third. The Panthers also finished one-two in the
high jump, with Colton Lanman
and Zack Conger each clearing 6’0’’.
Sigourney’s Avery Moore placed
second in the long jump (19’5.5’’),
ahead of Pekin’s Zach Buller, who
jumped a distance of 18’7.5’’.
Sophomore Tyler Copeland took
first in the 100-meter dash, clocking
in with a time of 11.6 seconds, while
Sigourney’s Jordan Albert placed
second (11.71) and Crawford finished third (11.91).
Albert avenged his second-place
finish in the 100 by taking gold in
the 200, crossing the stripe in 25
seconds, just ahead of Pekin’s Cody
Hassinen (25.45).
Sophomore Ryan Millikin fin-
ished two seconds ahead of North
Mahaska’s Trent Wanders to win the
1,600, while Malcolm Myers took
third and Tyler Crawford finished
fifth.
Before finishing third in the
1,600, Pekin’s Myers won the 3,200
in impressive fashion, clocking in at
10:36, over twenty seconds ahead of
second place Trevor Albert of Cardinal. Pekin’s Nate Kielkopf took
third in the 3,200 (11:51).
Sigourney is scheduled to compete at Iowa Valley on Tuesday, before running at Lynnville-Sully on
Thursday, April 16.
