NUMBER 5, 155TH YEAR
Administrative Changes For
Tri-County Schools
By Amie Van Patten
Editor
There are many changes occurring at Tri- County Schools.
Perhaps the largest is the opening
for principal. Current principal
Sandy Steinke is set to retire at
the end of the 2015-2016 school
year, and plans are underway to
find a replacement. Gerald Mercer hired Sandy Steinke in the
summer of 1985 and throughout her 20-year teaching career
she taught grades K, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
and 8. In 2005, she became the
PK-6 Principal, and throughout
the past 11 years the position
evolved into the PK-12 Principal position. She states the biggest reward of her job has been
watching preschoolers and kindergartners blossom into talented, eager young adults prepared
and ready to graduate and begin
a new chapter in their lives. This
is one of the beauties of a small
school on one campus.
The interview process has begun and on Monday night, a stu-
dent and community committee
will have the chance to sit down
and meet the final candidates
and assess the qualifications of
each candidate and what they
could offer the distract as they
move forward. This committee
is made of community members
Susan Koehn, Brooke Zitterguen, Chad McCain, and Heather Bombei as well as students
Nikayla Dowd, Myrissa Garber,
Dillon Ehret and Quintin McAdams. Sophomore Myrissa Garber
states she is excited to be part of
this committee. When asked if
she would like the new principal to bring any changes to the
district she responded, “I want
to see more teamwork being applied in school and more working together other than it being
just certain groups of people. I
would like to see more where
kids have a decision on some activities and a say. I would also like
to see more pride and spirit in all
we do! “ Nikayla Dowd added
that she is excited to have a part
of the interviewing process as she
thinks that students need to be
close to the administration aspect of schools to ensure they are
part of their education process
Principal Steinke said that
while she is sad to be leaving such
a great school district, she knows
that the administration has the
schools best interest in mind and
will pick the perfect candidate for
the school district. Her advice
as the district looks at hiring her
replacement to the students and
community is embrace all the
marvelous things Tri-County
Schools has to offer and diligently work for continuous school
improvement. The News-Review, Keota Eagle

County,” says Van Patten.

Free Tax Preparation Located In Sigourney
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide
By Amber Kephart
Regional Manager
AARP Tax-Aide is the nation’s
largest free, volunteer-run tax assistance and preparation service.
The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide
program will be available to low
and moderate-income residents
from Feb. 1 to April 15. AARP
Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers
are trained to assist you in filing
certain tax forms and schedules,
including the Form 1040. However, the Volunteer Protection Act
requires that volunteers stay in
the scope of the program. Keokuk
County residents and surrounding counties can come to the
Sigourney Senior Center at 214
S. Main St. to see Ernest DuBuis
or Yvonne Pitsch for their free
tax preparation including Efiling.
You must call to schedule your appointment at 641-622-3266.
For 28 years Ernest has been volunteering his time helping people
file their taxes. Yvonne has been
assisting Ernest for the last three
years, going into her fourth year.
Yvonne volunteers her time because she enjoys helping people
and she enjoys utilizing her accounting skills and background.
“It is enjoyable,” says Pitsch.
DuBuis says,” It’s the knowledge of
providing a service that the county needs.” Both Pitsch and DuBuis
have to be re-certified every year
through AARP and the IRS, to be
able to file tax returns.
This service offered by DuBuis
and Pitsch is completely free to
those filing a tax return. While it
is free, there are some restrictions
on the returns they can prepare.
They cannot prepare Schedule C,
Complicated Schedule D, Schedule F, 2106, 3903, 8615, Portions
of Schedules A and B, Schedule
K-1 or other rental income or
business income. There are not restrictions on age or if you rent or
own your home. When filing your
return you can plan to be there
less than one hour and have your
return before you leave. If you are
Efiling, you can anticipate getting
your return a week earlier than
waiting for a check to be mailed.

Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said on
Feb. 28 that the application deadline has
been extended for a fellowship program
in his state offices for Iowans with recent military service. Applications are
now due Feb. 15.
“This program is designed to help
veterans gain experience in the civilian
workforce, and in this case, provide constituent services and outreach through a
Senate office,” Grassley said. “It’s a good
opportunity for the candidates to build a
resume. It’s also a good opportunity for
my office to have more eyes and ears devoted to serving our veterans in Iowa. I
appreciate the experiences and insights
that returning service members can offer
to help identify the needs and challenges
that veterans face integrating back into
their communities.”
Grassley would like to have two fellows in his Veterans Fellowship Program, one in Des Moines and one in
Cedar Rapids. The candidates can expect to meet with veterans and service
organizations on Grassley’s behalf, including visiting with County Veterans
Service Officers, the National Guard,
the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown and Department of Veterans
Affairs hospitals and clinics across the
state. The fellows also will have the opportunity to learn more about working
in Grassley’s state offices, as they will
assist with constituent correspondence
and casework.
Grassley launched the fellowship
last year with a Vietnam-era, U.S. Air
Force veteran serving in Grassley’s Des
Moines office as the first fellow in the
program.
“I’m glad the first year of the fellow-

ship was so successful, and I look forward to continuing the fellowship again
this year,” Grassley said. “I encourage
interested Iowans with recent military
service to visit my website or offices for
an application.”
The application is available on Grassley’s website. Hard copies are available
in Grassley’s Iowa offices in Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des
Moines, Sioux City and Waterloo.
Stephanie and Norman Atwood’s children visited Sigourney

‘Hey! Is this Heaven? No… it’s Iowa’
Southeast Iowa has countless treasures skillfully hidden as we nonchalantly accept the reputation from
many as the “flyover state”. These
naysayers often pass us overhead
in an earnest attempt to get back to
their busy locations and us nice Iowans are sure not to let the door hit
them on their way through. Unless
you choose to live in or are from
Iowa, when people quote “Is this
Heaven? No… it’s Iowa” from the
1989 movie Field of Dreams, it probably means little or nothing to you.
We never argue being chalked up
as just corn and soybeans, and for
good reason. It’s like your favorite
morel mushroom hunting spot or
the farm pond buried off the gravel
roads in the country. You learned
(likely from your father or grandfather) that the less people who know
about your treasured spot, the more
you get to enjoy it in peace and quiet with friends and family. When
everyone knows about it, everyone
will flock there for a short time, fish
all the good stuff out, and move on
to the next best thing. And it’s no
wonder that we don’t want the frenzied masses of New York City or
San Diego taking selfies at the future KeWash Trailhead in Keota or
throwing their trash in the historical
Lewis Memorial Fountain in Sigourney. We aren’t a tourist attraction,
we work hard to build and maintain
our treasures, and we certainly don’t
mind our solitude.

bumper-to-bumper traffic, reservation only restaurants. To us, the
money in our pockets or the college
we went to or how expansive our social circles may be does not define
our happiness.
Iowa happiness is measured in
acres farmed per day, in time spent
away from work with our loved ones.
For me, it’s measured in sunrises and
sunsets watched from a sandbar on
the Skunk River. It’s the buffalo tak-
Feeling sick and miserable
What a miserable weekend! I contacted one of those deep chest colds and I
was totally shut down. After the KBOE
5th Quarter show on Saturday morning, I could feel it setting in. My eyes
were watering, my sinuses were burning and my chest was congested. That
deep cough that goes with all of that
was kicking in. I went home and shut it
down for the day.
By Sunday morning it was worse
and I holed up in the reclining chair. I
spent most of the day watching Hallmark movies and Hawkeye Basketball.
The Hawks played pretty well, but I still
complain about their lack of baseline
defense.
I watched the Hawks Thursday night
at Maryland and I thought they played
poorly. Yet they were able to stay close
to the No. 8 team, despite their poor
shooting. Jared Uthoff had a nightmare
night with only four points. Any production from him at all and we would
have won the game. But anyone who
has ever played the game knows that
games like that can happen.
As I was incapacitated Sunday, my
thoughts went back to the old time
treatments my mother used to use. She
got most of her medical products from
the Watkins man and also from the
Raleigh and McNess salesmen. Those
guys traveled the side roads of Iowa
showing their wares to every farm wife
that would listen to them. According to
those salesmen, their products would
cure anything that ails you.
She always bought this menthol salve
from the Watkins man. When I would
come down with a chest cold, she would
rub that stuff into my chest and back,
put an old tee shirt under my pajamas
and send me to bed. It always worked,
but sometimes it would take a couple of
days.
She also bought a product from the
Raleigh man that took care of a tummy
ache. I would occasionally get an upset
stomach and she would make me take a
chug of that stuff. Within five minutes
I was sure to toss my cookies and I felt

much better. The stuff tasted horrible,
but it worked. There were other things
that we used and those country peddlers were our version of a Walmart
pharmacy.
One more day and the politicians will
be gone. My phone has just rung off the
hook and we often don’t even bother to
answer it. If we do answer the phone, it
will be after the third ring and if there is
no quick response we hang up quickly.
The Queen Bee was in town a few
nights ago and I passed on that. She was
fighting for me again and that is scary.
Every time she goes to fighting, my
expenses go up and my income goes
down. Case in point, one of my meds
that my cardiologist says in must have
used to cost me $50 for a refill. This past
week, I was informed that it would be
$563 for a refill. So much for affordable
health care for old folks. I’m sure some
of you have experienced like situations.
My congratulations to the Tri-County
boys team on another win this week. I
think the Trojans have won more games
this year than they won in the past two
years combined. It appears that the Keota boys are closing in on the SICL East
Division title. I think the Pekin girls and
the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont girls
are both close to clinching their respective league titles.
My week of basketball coverage was
slowed somewhat as I only had games
on Tuesday and Friday. Tuesday night
I was in Pella for the Pella-Grinnell
games. Both games had championship
implications and Pella won them both.
The girls pulled out a 62-56 win and the
boys destroyed Grinnell 89-52. Both
Pella teams are solidly in first place in
the Little Hawkeye Conference.

work on this thing, the bigger the monster seems to get. This is going to take a

Friday evening I went down to Knoxville to cover the Knoxville-Centerville
games. The Knoxville girls did not lead
until 17 seconds were left in the game.
At that point Centerville was leading 38-37 and reserve Sierra Findley
launched a three for a 40-38 Knoxville
lead. A pair of free throws at the very

Iowa happiness is finding enough
morels in a season to share with our

Iowa happiness is the high school

Iowa is not ready
for Medicaid transition
This is a legislative update from
State Senator Kevin Kinney, representing Keokuk, Washington and
Johnson counties. For newsletters,
photos and further information, go to
www.senate.iowa.gov/senator/kinney.
Senate Democrats have submitted a letter to President Obama and
other federal officials about our
concerns over Governor Branstad’s
unilateral decision to privatize Iowa’s Medicaid program.
We appreciate the decision by
federal officials in December to
delay implementation of Medicaid
privatization until at least March 1.
It’s clear they recognized that the
Branstad/Reynolds Administration
was trying to do too much, too fast
and failing to protect vulnerable
Iowans.
But Iowa still isn’t ready. Since
the delay by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
more than 40 days ago, we have
seen no evidence that the Iowa
Medicaid Enterprise and the outof-state companies picked to help
privatize Medicaid have taken
the steps necessary to ensure the
health and wellbeing of more than
560,000 Iowans.
The concerns CMS expressed
about Iowa’s Medicaid privatization in December are equally valid today. They include: Arbitrary
and unrealistic implementation
timeline; Failure to establish adequate provider networks in advance; Disruptions of longstand-
ing patient-provider relationships;
Diminished quality and access to
health care services; Compromised
patient care; Inadequate communication with patients and providers.
We’re also worried about media
reports regarding fraud and mismanagement by the Managed Care
Organizations selected for Iowa
that have resulted in hundreds of
millions of dollars in fines.
For all these reasons, we are calling on President Obama and other
key federal officials to deny Iowa’s
application to establish a statewide
private managed care system for
Medicaid. Instead, Iowa should
continue improving patient outcomes, increasing access to care
and making the existing public
management of Medicaid more efficient.

OPINION/EDITORIAL
On the Hill
with Klein
By State Representative Jarad Klein
Time
to address synthetic drugs
We have had a very eventful third tion controlled substances can have the
week in Des Moines. Even though we
are in the third week we are still receiving our regular state updates, this week
we heard from General Timothy Orr
in regard to the condition of Iowa’s National Guard. Committees have continued to get bills and pass them through.
Floor debate started up this week with
the House passing what I consider one
of the most important bills of every session, school funding.
As I mentioned last week, I have finalized my bills and decided what bills
I will be running on the floor. One of
the bills that is very important to me in
House File 2049 which will put a stop
to deadly synthetic drugs. Many folks
think this is not a problem in Keokuk
and Washington counties, but after
much research over the years I can assure you this is a local problem.
Last year we fought to stop the spread
of synthetic drugs in Iowa. Unfortunately, politics got in the way and it
didn’t make it to the Governor’s desk.
This year we are again addressing the
issue. House File 2049 is similar to legislation proposed last year that aims to
curb synthetic drugs in our state and
keep children safe.
House File 2049 focuses on four key
areas in the law: 1) changing how synthetic drugs are categorized; 2) ensuring imitation controlled substances are
appropriately prosecuted; 3) allowing
the legislature two years to evaluate the
temporary designation of scheduled
substances; 4) addressing sentencing
differences between convictions for cocaine and crack cocaine.
Under current law, the chemicals that
make up common synthetic drugs are
scattered throughout the code. This
makes it difficult to determine what
drugs are truly schedule I and what
drugs aren’t currently listed. HF 2049
properly lists synthetic drugs as schedule I controlled substances and adds
several more synthetic drug formulas
to the list. Keeping these chemicals categorized as schedule I substances helps
keep these drugs off the streets and ensures those selling them will face appropriate penalties.
County attorneys have had trouble
prosecuting sellers of synthetic drugs
when the drug is being sold as an imitation controlled substance. An imitation controlled substances is not a
controlled substance, but is mistaken
for one, because of its appearance.
Synthetic drugs, not on the schedule
drug list, can be packaged to look like
an illegal synthetic drug. These imita-
same deadly effect as a scheduled drug.
Selling imitation controlled substances is how many dealers attempt to get
around the law. HF 2049 includes imitation controlled substances in the same
category as simulated and controlled
substances. Under the proposed bill,
the penalty for selling an imitation controlled substance would be the same as
selling a simulated or actual controlled
substance.
Under current law the Board of Pharmacy can designate a new substance as
a controlled substance if federal law also
designates that substance the same way.
If the Iowa General Assembly does not
affirm the boards designation within
60 days of the beginning of session, the
designation will be repealed. HF 2049
would allow the Iowa General Assembly two years to concur with the Board
of Pharmacy designation. This ensures
there is enough time for the legislature
to understand the substance and determine if the designation should become
permanent.
Finally, HF 2049 addresses sentencing
differences between cocaine and crack
cocaine. The bill changes penalties
based on the amount of crack cocaine
a person possesses. Under current law a
person possessing 50 grams of crack cocaine could face up to 50 years in prison
and a fine of up to $1 million, the bill
proposal is to raise the amount. I am still
looking close at this piece and trying to
find a good middle ground between the
different interested groups. The bill also
alters the possession requirement for
class B and C felonies with regards to
crack cocaine possession. I fully intend
to see some amendments to the bill in
its current form.
As HF 2049 moves through the committee process, amendments will be
considered to ensure this bill is helping
target those distributing deadly synthetic
drugs. I look forward to moving this bill
quickly to the Governor’s desk without
the political hurdles faced last year.
I would like to thank you all for continuing to reach out with any questions
and concerns you may have. I ask that
you continue to do so. My email is jarad.
[email protected], you can also reach
me by call or text on my cell phone at

Unemployment holds
Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained at 3.4 percent
in December. The state’s jobless rate
was 4.3 percent one year ago. The U.S.
unemployment rate remained at 5.0 percent in December.
“Iowa’s economy ended on a high
note in December, maintaining the
growth we have seen since the beginning of the year.” said Beth Townsend,
director of Iowa Workforce Development. “Iowa’s nonfarm employment
gained jobs for the ninth time this year,
expanding by 1,100 jobs in December.
More importantly, the state’s unemployment rate held at 3.4 percent this
month which continued the downward
trend from the high of 4.2 percent established in January 2015.”
The number of unemployed Iowans
fell to 58,300 in December from 58,800
in November. The current estimate is
15,300 lower than the year ago level of
73,600.
The total number of working Iowans
increased to 1,650,500 in December.
This figure was 3,200 higher than November and 8,500 higher than one year
ago.
Iowa’s nonfarm employment added
1,100 jobs in December, expanding
Iowa’s total nonfarm employment to
1,584,700 jobs. The monthly gain was
the second-consecutive and helped cement a year that was generally positive
for nonfarm employment. Overall, the
state averaged 2,100 jobs added per
month during the year. Private sectors
fueled the job growth this month with
government paring jobs (-1,100) due
to early release of local government
workers. With this loss, government
is down slightly compared to last year
(-1,400). Since last year, the state is now
up 25,600 jobs—a gain of 1.6 percent
versus last December.
Job gains in December were led by
gains in construction (+2,400), and may
be partially attributed to fair weather to
end the year allowing firms to continue
working late into the year. Other services also had a large gain (+1,400).
The growth was an expansion on an
already prosperous year that saw 4,500
jobs added. The education and health
services sector increased in December
(+1,100) due primarily to hiring in private education (+900). Smaller gains
this month included manufacturing
(+300), financial activities (+200), and
mining (+100). Alternatively, trade
and transportation led all sectors in jobs
lost this month (-2,500). Much of this
loss stemmed from a disappointing retail season (-2,000). Professional and
business services shed jobs (-800) with
losses being fueled by administrative
support and waste management occupations.
Annually, construction has added
10,000 jobs since last December—the
most of any sector in terms of jobs
gained and percentage (+12.9 percent).
However, some of these gains may wane
some in 2016 as large-scale projects
come to an end. Education and health
services are markedly up (+6,700), followed by other services (+4,500) then
financial activities (+3,200). Annual
losses were slight in those industries
that are down annually with the exception of manufacturing (-1,700) and information services (-700).
Just
Reminiscing
By Hilda Souer
The other day I was looking for something on my desk and, in doing this, I
found other things I’d forgotten about.
Yes, I also found some items I wondered
why I’d kept! Of course several things,
that had been taken out of newspapers,
were recipes that I or a daughter might
try sometime.
An unexpected item I found was a
small blue notebook my mother had
given to me several years ago. Instead
of recipes it had some thoughts related
to the mid-thirties or around 75 years
ago, and was probably written by a farm
wife.
The following are some these
thoughts:
1. I went to a “hen-party” the other
day and I heard a woman say she’d die
if she had to live on a farm…she would
have had a pleasant way of dying at
least!”
2. “Twas such a pretty sight…two
hungry and very tired babies coming
up the lane, side by side, following an
afternoon’s play in the pasture… a baby
girl and a baby cow (calf.)”
3. “Wasn’t it Emerson who said, “If
you cannot love what you like, try to
like what you have?” Just try it yourself, as you can find something to like
in most anything if you hunt long and
hard enough.”
4. “A friend of mine laments the fact
that she cannot buy expensive toys for
her children…when I watch mine with
their pet lamb, their nine cats, pet duck,
their tractors made out of old wheels
with syrup pails wired on for gas tanks,
radiator, etc. and corn cobs for wheel
lugs, and other contraptions that an active imagination can name. Well, I won’t
say I regret not having the money to
buy playthings. Just think of the opportunities for creativeness to display itself.”
5. “Aren’t women queer creatures?
Here I worried half the summer because I wouldn’t have anything to fill the
empty jars on the fruit shelves and the
other half I worried because I wouldn’t
have enough empty jars for all I needed
to can.”
…and there were 11 more in the
notebook, but these were the ones I enjoyed re-reading the most.

Permit approval by the North Dakota
Public Service Commission moves the
Dakota Access Pipeline project another
step closer to beginning construction
Permits now approved for North Dakota, South Dakota, and Illinois
Voluntary Agreements signed on
more than 85 Percent of the Properties along the Route
The Dakota Access Pipeline Project
continues to finalize its construction
plans and secure the necessary land
easements in preparation to begin
construction of the 1,168-mile crude
oil pipeline. The permit approved
last week by the North Dakota Public
Service Commission brings the total
to three of the four states crossed by
the pipeline authorizing it to move
forward. The South Dakota Public
Utilities Commission and the Illinois
Commerce Commission have also
approved Dakota Access’ permit applications. The Iowa Utilities Board
continues to review Dakota Access’
application having announced a
working session scheduled for early
February. Construction of the pipeline is projected to begin in 2016
upon approval of all required applications and permits.
Dakota Access has signed voluntary easement agreements with
landowners representing more than
85 percent of the properties along
the four-state route. Currently, 89
percent of the properties in North
Dakota, 92 percent in South Dako-
ta, 78 percent in Iowa and 87 percent
in Illinois have been signed. Project
representatives will continue easement negotiations with landowners
during the coming months. The Dakota Access Pipeline is a
$3.78 billion infrastructure project
that will transport approximately
450,000 barrels per day, with a capacity as high as 570,000 barrels per
day, of domestically produced light
sweet crude oil from the Bakken
and Three Forks production areas
in North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois,
where shippers will be able to access
multiple markets including Midwest,
East Coast and Gulf Coast regions.
During construction, Dakota Access will pay substantial state sales
taxes to North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois. Dakota Access
also will pay significant property taxes to the four states once the pipeline
is in service. Additionally, Dakota
Access will employ up to 4,000 construction workers per state to build
the 1,168 miles of 30-inch pipeline.
One hundred percent of these workers will be union contractors with
up to 50 percent sourced from local
union halls. Dakota Access is projected to be in service by late 2016.
Dakota Access has opened offices
in Bismarck, ND, Sioux Falls, SD,
Urbandale, IA, and Springfield, IL,
to manage the ongoing operations
and maintenance of the pipeline. For
more information visit Dakotaaccesspipelinefacts.com or call toll-free
844-708-2639.

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.
DOROTHY RUTH COON
On Monday evening, August 29, 1960, Dorothy
Coon was found dead in a ditch alongside a county road in Lucas County, about 12 miles north of
Chariton. Her body - clad in a dark green dress
and white shoes - was discovered by a farmer
mowing weeds. Her purse was found one mile
away. The gravel road was a shortcut to Coon’s
parents’ farm east of Chariton. Authorities said
Coon had been dead two or three days before her
body was found.
Preliminary reports showed no wounds on
Coon’s body, but authorities noted there were
bruises on the throat area and fractured neck
bones indicating she may have been strangled.
Officials conducted a careful search of weeds
and bushes along a mile of roadside ditches near
where Coon’s body was found, but the search
failed to provide any significant clues to her mur-
der. Heavy rains over the weekend may have
washed away or covered up footprints, tire tracks
or other clues involved in her slaying.
Coons was a department store business office
clerk and divorced mother of two teenage children. Coon and her ex-husband, Richard Coon,
had divorced 10 years earlier after Richard left
Dorothy to be with another woman. Richard
Coon would not pay child support or alimony,
but continued to occasionally meet up with his
ex-wife in Des Moines. Richard eventually married the woman he left Dorothy to be with, and
he and his new wife relocated to Albia the year
before Dorothy Coon’s murder. Richard Coon
was questioned in his ex-wife’s murder, but said
he was home that evening with his new wife and
her son. Polygraph test results were inconclusive.
DOROTHY RUTH COON
| Age: 38 |
Died: August 26, 1960
Hometown: Des Moines
Body Found: North of Chariton

Seniors relaxing in the Senior Lounge.
Senior Lounge
By Adam Hames
The senior lounge has been around
since forever. They had to do away
with it for a few years because no
one was able to supervise the area,
but they’ve brought it back. The new
Senior Lounge area is located out-
side of the school’s library where it
can be monitored by staff members.
The area started out with just a
couch and a coffee table but has now
grown to include several chairs no
longer used in the school. The new
addition includes a flat screen TV.
The future plans for this senior
hangout spot are top secret according to Mrs. Webb, but sources have
it that there may be a coffeehouse
in the future. The only rules for entering the lounge consist of having
good grades, keeping it clean, and
treating each other nicely.
Costa Rica Spanish Trip

Boys Basketball team huddling up for a game.
End of an Era
By Austin Smothers
This year is the culmination of
years of hard work for some seniors.
They’ve reached their final basketball season and are making one last
run at state. Everything throughout
the years that they’ve experienced,
from fetching water, to riding the
bench in earlier years, to taking a
beating in practice from upperclassmen, and everything between, it has
been a long road.
But this year has been no easy
trip. They have seen losses, injuries,
and illnesses that have deterred the
team from reaching greatness. But,
through grit and determination,
the Savages have came every night
to win, and they’ve done just that.
They’ve had a few nail biters, some
tough losses, and even a couple blow
outs, but nothing has rattled the
team. They still show up to practice
hungry for more.
One of the more unfortunate injuries was the broken clavicle of Will
Flanegin. Shattered while going for
a rebound in practice, he has had
to sit out for several weeks since,
but he is still at every practice and
has a presence in the locker room
on game nights as he helps hype his
teammates up for a victory.
The season is winding down, and
with it, some will see the end of their
careers in basketball, but the Savages still have a little more in the tank
before that happens.

Hard Target
A Movie Review
By Adam Hames
Natasha Binder comes to New Orleans looking for her father, who has
gone missing. In doing so, she meets
a very hard man called Chance. He
helps her find out that her father
was killed by an organization that
sells the opportunity to hunt human
prey. They are taking advantage of a
police strike in New Orleans.
John Woo’s first U.S. film is a
hugely underrated, hugely enjoyable action thriller beautifully shot
and bursting with style. This film
is certainly Van Damme’s best, and
in my books is at the top of the action genre. It’s a sort of updating of
1930’s thriller “The Most Dangerous Game.” This is the part of Van
Damme’s career when his acting
wasn’t too bad; the rest of the cast
are mostly a solid bunch of unknowns who prove they’ve got what
it takes to make this a tight, well
made thriller.
Lance Henriksen is great as
Fourchon and Arnold Vosloo equally as good as accomplice Van Cleef.
Even though in my opinion, this is
Woo’s best U.S. film, and it took him
two more attempts to breakthrough
into the Hollywood mainstream in
which he finally struck gold with
“Face/Off.”
“Hard Target” comes out a dark
action thriller packed with a superb
blend of martial arts shootouts and
explosions. I recommend this to
anyone whether you’re an action
junkie, die hard Van Damme fan
or just a general film buff. Up there
with “Die Hard,” this is a true action
classic. I give it an 8 out of 10 slo-mo
gunfights.

Will Magill’s “Heap of the Week”
Heap of the Week
By Austin Smothers
Heap of the week goes to Will
Magill this week. His ride of choice
is his 1996 Ford Ranger. A small,
teal truck with a lot of character.
It has such great features as a custom autobot hood ornament from
the Transformers movies, as well
as a personalized interior, modified
by Will himself. He says one of his
favorite memories with his truck
is ripping the entire ceiling out be-
cause it, “started to sag”. Now he’s
got a one of a kind interior on his
one of a kind truck.
He has about 220,000 miles on it,
so there’s a lot of history to it. However, it’s only been in his possession
for about a year and a half. But in
that time, it’s been his go to vehicle
for most things, despite having a
few other cars amongst his family. It
seems they lack the character of this
small truck.

EV and TCM flex at SICLs
By Adam Meier
Regional Sports Editor
A host of top finishers and solid placing in the
final team standings made Saturday’s South Iowa
Cedar League conference tournament a success
for both Tri-County/Montezuma and English Valleys.
Coming in third place out of ten team’s was
Tri-County/Montezuma, who finished with one
second-place finisher and two third-place finishers.
Coming up a little short at 126 pounds was TCM
senior Travis Lewis. Lewis pinned BGM’s Ethan
Hawkins and won a major decision over Sigourney-Keota’s Nick Ives, but was pinned in the final
by North Mahaska’s Jarrett Stodghill to settle for
second.
At 182 pounds, Clay Harper pinned EV’s Bentley Schott and won in sudden victory over Lynn-
ville-Sully’s Jack Hardin to earn third, while Tyler
Thompson pinned L-S’s Cooper Scandridge to
also earn bronze.
Kale Latcham (132), Dustin Stoner (195) and
Hunter Foubert (220) each settled for fourth after
losing their third-place matches.
Senior Mason Garber fought for a fifth-place finish with a win over NM’s Shaun Clark, and Jaedon
Probasco (145) did the same by pinning BGM’s
Kendall Bunn.
TCM’s Taylor Staton (152) and Denis Torbin
(160) each won a match as well, helping the team
finish with 112 points.
As for English Valleys, the Bears crowned two
champions and placed seventh as a team.
After pinning top-ranked Connor Shulista of Alburnett a week prior, the soon-to-be top-ranked
Zach Axmear (152) did what was expected at SICLs, pinning BGM’s Tylor Kane and winning a
major decision over SK’s Alec Schuster to remain
unbeaten, at 40-0.
Freshman 106-pounder Cooper Andreassen
was equally as impressive, quickly pinning Belle
Plaine’s Spencer Yilek and Iowa Valley’s Nicholas
Hocamp to take gold.
At 138 pounds, Andrew Fisher pinned NM’s
Clark, before losing to BGM’s Dalton Roberts to
settle for fourth.
John Fisher, EV’s 160-pounder, pinned BGM’s
Gerardo Gamboa to take fifth, while Wyatt Olson
did the same to Iowa Valley’s Drew Slaymaker,
earning fifth at 132 pounds.
Caleb Peach (145) and Jacob Jackson (185) won
one match apiece on Saturday and helped the
Bears finish with 90 points, despite fielding fewer
wrestlers than most other teams.
Both TCM and EV will wrestle at Sectionals on
Saturday in North English, beginning at noon.

Rogan Pforts.
At 170 pounds, Ethan Cooksey
claimed third place by pinning
Van Buren’s Brandon Heisel, while
Drake Harbison (138) and Clayton

Sigourney-Keota wrestling dethrones the Tigers
By Adam Meier
The string of four-consecutive South
Iowa Cedar League conference wrestling tournaments won by the Iowa
Valley Tigers has ended.
Originally scheduled to be held at
Montezuma High School, this year’s
SICL conference meet was held in
Sigourney and was won by coach J.J.
Cooper’s Sigourney-Keota Savages,
making them the new face of wrestling in the conference.
The Savages edged second-place
Iowa Valley by 35 points and had three
wrestlers win individual titles.
At 113 pounds, Luke House picked
up his 26th win of the season against
Iowa Valley’s Austin McFall, the only
other competitor in House’s weight
class. House made quick work of McFall, pinning him in the first period.
At 145, highly-ranked senior Lane
Boender pinned HLV’s Dakota Huber
and North Mahaska’s Dylan Comstock, before winning a 9-5 decision
in the final against Iowa Valley’s Dylan
Healey.
SK’s third champ came at 195, with
Noah Boender, who is also ranked,
winning via fall against Colfax-Mingo’s Colton Lourens.
Losing in their title matches were
152-pounder Alec Schuster, who lost a
major decision to top-ranked Zach Axmear of English Valleys; Kaleb Reeves(
182), who was pinned by BGM’s highly-ranked Colton Massengale; and Zeb
Webb (220), who was pinned by Iowa
Valley’s Josh Roggentien.
Noah Reeves (160), Zech Boender
(132), Nick Ives (126) and Cale Jarmes
(106) all bounced back to win their
third-place matches, while Mac Conrad, recorded a pin over EV’s Devon
Hill and placed sixth at 170.
The Savages now prepare for Saturday’s Sectional Meet in North English.
Wrestling is scheduled to begin at
noon.

Defense leads Savages in two straight
Bombei’s career
night propels Trojans
By Adam Meier
It was a senior night to remember
for Luke Bombei.
The senior forward put up the
best numbers of his career on Friday
against Iowa Valley, scoring a career-high 33 points and grabbing ten
rebounds in Tri-County’s 72-53 win
over Iowa Valley.
The Trojans outscored the Tigers
18-10 in the first quarter, on their way
to a 35-26 halftime lead.
With the Tigers still in the mix after three, Bombei and his Tri-County
teammates went on a 21-point tear in
the final eight minutes to push their
lead to a comfortable margin. Iowa
Valley’s scrappy effort wasn’t enough
to pick up a fourth win, as the Trojans
pulled away for the 72-53 victory. Jake
Jordan and Gavin Collingwood each
scored 18 points for the Tigers.
The win was Tri-County’s fourth of
the season.
In addition to Bombei’s monster
game, the Trojans got 16 points from
Jacob Bombei, along with a pair of
3-pointers and six points from junior
Lane Williams. Senior Trevor Clemons added six points, with Joe Haberling, another senior, adding four.
The Trojans played at Sigourney
on Tuesday, before Thursday’s home
game with North Mahaska. The team
then hosts HLV on Monday, Feb. 8.
By Adam Meier
When giving up a total of 38 points in
two games, it’s safe to say that the odds
of winning at least one of those games
are extremely high. The Sigourney girls
did one better, winning both games last
week and improving their overall record to 11-8.
The Savages starting things off with
English Valleys last Tuesday, putting a
hurting on the Bears by a count of 5218.
Sigourney entered the second quarter
with an 11-point lead and proceeded to
allow just two points in the period to
EV’s offense. The lock-down defense
played by the Savages helped them
build a 34-7 halftime lead, before cruising to the 34-point win.
Sierra Davis, the SICL’s second-leading scorer (Belle Plaine’s Morgan
Straight leads at 19.2) at 18.7 p.p.g., finished with 28 points on 10-of-20 shooting and pulled down eight rebounds.
The Savages also got 14 points, on sixof-eight shooting, from sophomore Autumn Barthelman, and four points each
from Summer Barthelman and Brooke
Waechter.
Blaine Gretter meets Zach mousel at the rim.
Although see didn’t score, junior
Anna Ohland returned to the floor
against EV after suffering a scary fall
two weeks earlier.
With her feet now under her, Ohland
made a greater contribution in Sigourney’s road win at Keota on Friday. Ohland’s four points, four rebounds and
four assists sparked Sigourney to the
48-20 win.
The Savages struggled in the second
half, outscoring Keota by a slim mark
of 19-15, but their 29-5 halftime lead
proved to be plenty of cushion for a
win.
Davis went crazy again, this time
scoring 23 points and adding four
steals. As a team, Sigourney grabbed 27
steals, including nine from A. Barthelman and seven from Waechter.
Sigourney hosted Tri-County on
Tuesday, prior to Friday’s home game
with BGM. The Savages will host Twin
Cedars (1-18) on Thursday, Feb. 11, in
regional play. Should they win, the Savages will play the winner of Iowa Valley
(15-4) and Cedar Valley Christian (611) in Marengo on Tuesday, Feb. 16.

18 in a row for perfect Panthers
By Adam Meier
Looking ahead on the schedule for
the Pekin girls’ varsity basketball team,
it appeared that Mediapolis would
be the toughest remaining test in the
regular season. While it wasn’t Pekin’s
most dominating effort, the Panthers
did, indeed, clear the hurdle of a Mediapolis team that had only four losses
entering the matchup.
Sparking the Panthers with a career-high game of 27 points was senior
Sloan Reighard. Reighard went 10-of14 from the field and added three steals
in Pekin’s 67-45 win.
The Panthers took control somewhat convincingly early in the game,
outscoring Mediapolis 18-9 in the first
quarter, before taking a 27-18 lead into
the locker room at the half.
An 18-point, nine-rebound, six-steal
performance by Beth Atwood, and a
14- point, six-assist outing by Gwynne
Wright, was more than enough to hold
off Mediapolis in the second half.
Senior Cassidy Tolle chipped in five
points and five steals in Pekin’s 17th win
of the season.
Tolle had a nice game three nights
later against IMS, scoring seven points
in Pekin’s 18th win of the season.
A massive 24-0 scoring advantage
for Pekin in the first quarter alone propelled the Panthers to a 65-20 win and
clinched at least a share of the SEISC
North title.
After scoring just three points in the
team’s previous game, Pekin’s Maci
Gambell went off for 22 points in the
win over IMS. Reighard added 12
points and Atwood scored seven.
The Panthers played at West Burlington on Saturday and at WACO on
Tuesday, before wrapping up the regular season on Friday, Feb. 5, at home
against WACO. Pekin will then play
the winner of Columbus Junction/Wapello at home on Tuesday, Feb. 16, in
the Regional quarterfinals.

A lack of consistency on the offensive
end of the floor has been troublesome
this season for the Sigourney boys. That
lack of consistency, however, did not
deter the Savages in their 74-46 win
over English Valleys early last week.
Twelve steals, including three by
Peyton Crawford and two each from
Will Magill and Jordan Albert, allowed
Sigourney offense to get extra looks
in the win over the Bears; Sigourney’s
eighth of the season.
The Savages got up an impressive 69
shots in the game, making 31 of them
for a 45-percent clip.
Sigourney’s offense broke out early,

Sigourney’s offense didn’t find its
rhythm until late in Friday’s 57-43 loss
at Keota.
The aggressive mentalities of Crawford and Albert during the fourth quarter of the game at Keota kept the Savages in it, but with only 26 points on the
board entering the final period, it was
too-little-too-late.
