IN THE NEWS
IT’S OFFICIAL: NITRATE LAWSUIT IS ON
Water works board votes to file
litigation against three counties
BY TOM CULLEN
Des Moines Water Works
Board of Trustees voted unanimously Tuesday to sue Buena
Vista, Sac and Calhoun counties
for excessive nitrate levels in the
Raccoon River.
DMWW’s board held a special meeting Tuesday afternoon
to vote to file a lawsuit against
the three northwest Iowa counties. The board voted unanimously to proceed following
DMWW’s intent to sue filed on
Jan. 14. The intent to sue came
with a 60-day period for the two
parties to negotiate.
DMWW CEO and General
Manager Bill Stowe said the
state hasn’t budged since the
initial notice was filed.
“Actors at the legislative,
agricultural and legal level have
made no attempt to solve our
nitrate problem,” Stowe told
The Storm Lake Times. “We’ve
seen a lot of saber rattling from
powerful interests.”
The crux of the suit is excessive nitrate levels in the Des
Moines area water supply,
drawn from the Raccoon River,
from which the utility draws
drinking water for its 500,000
customers. The cause of high
nitrate levels is runoff of nitrogen from agland, Stowe says.

Going big meant more work for the kids,

Health center plans
dental unit expansion
UCHC wants to GROUNDBREAKING SUNDAY
cut waiting time FOR SM PARISH CENTER/3A
United Community Health
Center (UCHC) has announced
a dental clinic expansion project that will begin this spring.
The project involves an approximately 1,500 square-foot, onestory dental clinic addition to
the east side of the existing
clinic at 715 West Milwaukee in
Storm Lake.
The expansion will add two
treatment operatories, bringing
the total dental treatment
rooms to five, and also a second
operatory for the dental hygienist. A larger working lab will be
added as well as some additional provider space for administrative purposes.
UCHC currently employs
one dentist, Dr. Brian J. Smith
DDS and one dental hygienist,
Lea Allbaugh. The nucleus of
the dental team has been with
the clinic since its inception,
with Dr. Smith joining the group
A fight between two women
and one man early Wednesday
led to a residential search in
which Storm Lake Police discovered several explosive devices.
Police took a report of a fight
at 919 East Fifth St. on Wednesday at 12:06 a.m. Police met
with two women at the police
station, one of whom was
bleeding from a cut to her head.
Police learned that the two
women were at the East Fifth
Street address when an argument broke out between the
two women and a man at the
house. One of the women allegedly shoved the man, who
punched her in the face causing
her nose to bleed. The second
woman armed herself with two
kitchen knives and threatened
to stab the man. At some point
the man armed himself with a
glass bottle and struck the second woman in the head, lacerating her head.
Police identified the two
women as Alexandria Pratt, 19,
of Wall Lake, and Alyssa Dowdy,
20, of Cherokee.
Officers investigating the incident saw the man who was allegedly involved in the fight
leave the residence as a passenger in a vehicle. Police stopped
the vehicle and took the man
into custody, identifying him as
a 17-year-old male of Storm
Lake. Police noticed the teen
was also suffering from a laceration to his head.

OUTLOOK FOR TODAY’S INVESTORS:
LESS CERTAINTY - BUT POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES
The world of today is vastly different from the one that existed in, say, 1974. Innovations such as the Internet, smartphones, tablets, Facebook, Twitter and so on have made
our lives more enjoyable, efficient and productive in many ways, and have vastly improved our access to the world’s knowledge. Yet when it comes to one important area
of our lives — investing for the future — many of us may actually face more challenges
today than we might have in the past.
At least two main factors are responsible for this apparent regression. First, following
a quarter century during which U.S. workers’ income rose fairly steadily, “real” wages
— that is, wages after inflation is considered — have been flat or declining since about
1974, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Secondly, during this same time period, we’ve seen a large drop in the percentage of private-sector workers covered under
a “defined benefit” plan — the traditional pension plan in which retired employees receive a specified monthly benefit, with the amount determined by years of service, earnings history and age.
So unlike your counterparts in the 1950s and 1960s, you may not be able to count on a
rise in real wages, and you may not have the promise of a regular pension. What, then,
can you do to improve your prospects for eventually achieving a comfortable retirement?
First of all, in the absence of a formal pension, you will need to create your own retirement plan. That means you will need to consider all the opportunities available to
you. If your employer offers a 401(k) or similar account, such as a 403(b), contribute
as much as you can afford — at the very least, put in enough to earn your employer’s
matching contribution, if one is offered. And even if you participate in your employer’s
plan, you may also be eligible to open an IRA. If you’re self-employed, you still have
options such as a SEP IRA or a “solo 401(k).” While these accounts may differ from
each other in terms of eligibility, income restrictions and contribution limits, they both
offer the same key benefit: the ability to defer taxes on your earnings for many years,
typically until retirement.
As for your next main challenge — the need to compensate for stagnant real wages and
the subsequent difficulty of boosting your savings — what can you do? For one thing,
you will need a reasonable percentage of your portfolio — both inside and outside your
IRA, 401(k) and other retirement plans — devoted to growth-oriented investments. It’s
true that the value of growth vehicles, such as stocks and stock-based instruments, will
always fluctuate. But you can help control this risk by owning a mix of investments, including stocks, bonds, Treasury bills, certificates of deposit (CDs) and other securities.
Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can reduce the impact of volatility on
your holdings, it can’t guarantee profit or always protect against loss.
As far as attaining rising wages and enjoying guaranteed retirement payments, we don’t
have the “certainties” that many people had in the 1950s and 1960s. But you can still
help brighten your future — through diligence, discipline and the determination to explore the opportunities available to you.

EXPANSION: Project
expected to begin in
spring, end in fall
with Dr. Smith joining the
group in 2013.
United Community Health
Center began its dental clinic
operations in July 2009 and has
served approximately 7,500 patients with more than 18,000
visits since that time.
UCHC provides affordable
dental services to all patients,
regardless of their financial status.
All types of insurance are accepted, along with Medicaid
and Iowa Wellness Plan participants.
A sliding fee discount program is in place to help uninsured patients afford dental
care as well.
One reason for the expansion is the lead-time on dental
appointments is currently
longer than the clinic would like
to see, said UCHC Director Rich
Gehrig. The additional operatories are required in order to get
patients into chairs sooner and
increase access to dental services at UCHC.
The project is expected to
begin in late spring and be
completed sometime in the fall
of 2015.
UCHC management and
the Board of Directors expect
only minimal disruption of
dental services and none to
medical clinic operations during the construction process.
An advertisement for bids
will begin soon with the total
cost of the project estimated at
$600,000 to $700,000.
UCHC received a federal
grant to pay for approximately
40% of the project and the balance will be funded by the
clinic.

Excess nutrients — from
commercial fertilizer, nitrogenfixing plants like soybeans and
microbial activity in the soil —
are
discharged
through
drainage pipes into watersheds.
The collection of pipes are
sorted into districts, which are
the responsibility of the district’s
respective county board of supervisors. This, according to
Stowe, is why the counties are
responsible for the pollution.
The water works seeks to
have drainage districts’ effluent
regulated by permit as cities are
with sewage treatment systems.
DMWW cited 64 affected
drainage districts in Buena
Vista, Sac, and Calhoun in January.
Buena Vista County Board of
Supervisors Chairman Dale
Arends, R-Newell, disagreed
with Stowe’s assertion of no bargaining. Arends turned the
blame on Stowe, saying he is
negotiating in bad faith.
“What (DMWW) wants is
clean water for central Iowa. We
want productive farmers in our
county,” Arends told The Times.
“If we want to move discussion,
he shouldn’t have done it this
way. (Stowe) is paying us nothing but lip service.”
Both parties claim they are
willing to negotiate and the
other party isn’t. Arends said he
couldn’t repeat what he thought
at the notion of Stowe being
willing to negotiate.
DMWW and the three counties will enter federal court
under the Clean Water Act.
DMWW will be represented
by Rick Malm of Dickinson
Mackaman Tyler Law & Hagen
Law of Des Moines. The three
counties will be represented by
Belin McCormick Law Firm of
Des Moines. Both are funding
their legal costs internally.
DMWW has already received
private contributions to its legal
defense fund, and the counties
have been in contact with ag
advocacy groups.
Stowe would not reveal the
names of the contributors since
they might face retaliation as a
result of their contributions.
National interests from Farm
Bureau to the Natural Resource
Defense Fund are weighing in
on the closely watched controversy. It could set national water
quality policy under the Clean
Water Act, which sets pollution
standards for surface waters.
Stowe alleges the three
counties upstream caused nitrate levels in DMWW’s service
region to swell above the federal
limit of 10 milligrams per liter
(mg/L). DMWW surveyed 73
samples from watersheds in the
Des Moines and Raccoon rivers
and found nitrate levels as high
as 39.4 mg/L.
Mitigating the nitrates to
federal standards requires the
operation of DMWW’s Nitrate
Removal Facility, the largest nitrate facility in the world. The facility has been operating for 97
days straight, which Stowe
claims is unsustainable.
“Replacement (of our facility) is imminent. There’s no way
we can handle 97 days of operation,” Stowe said.
Stowe said operation costs
$7,000 per day and the replacement costs exceed $100 million.
Arends claimed DMWW is
overstating its costs.
“(Stowe) has no desire to settle,” Arends said. “He’s offered
us nothing. He just wants us to
build a new facility for him.”
Various Iowa agricultural
groups have spoken on behalf
of Buena Vista, Sac and Calhoun
counties. The Iowa Corn Growers Association released a statement deeming DMWW’s filing
“expensive and unproductive.”
“Iowa corn farmers are very
disappointed in this shift away
from a collaborative, results-oriented model that has been the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s (EPA) gold standard
for improving water quality,”
the statement read. “The Des
Moines Water Works lawsuit implies an unrealistic ‘one size fits
all’ legal solution will improve
water quality.”
Local
legislator
Gary
Worthan, R-Storm Lake, has
also spoken on behalf of the
three
counties.
Worthan
claimed DMWW’s suit “insulted
every Northwest Iowa farmer”
in January.
“[T]o have someone insinuate that I would intentionally
send that legacy down the river
due to bad farming practices,
it’s an affront to me,” Worthan
said on the Iowa House floor.
Worthan farms next to the Raccoon River.

Widening from
Correctionville
to Early in next
three years
The final legs of Highway
20 to be widened to four
lanes are underway after a
recommendation by state
transportation officials to
fast track completion.
During a work session
Monday, the state transportation
commission
voiced support for the staff
proposal, which calls for
spending an additional $220
million over the next three
years, between Correctionville and Early, according
to the Sioux City Journal.
“We’ve been waiting for
this since the 1960s. It’s just
time to finish this project because it’s so far along and so
much work has been done,”
said Shirley Phillips, president of the U.S. 20 Corridor
Association.
This project is one of the
numerous projects that the
Department of Transportation staff recommended allocating revenue generated
by the 10-cent fuel tax increase.
Construction on a 12mile segment of Highway 20
from Moville and Correctionville is ongoing, with
paving of the two additional
lanes scheduled for 2016.
The completion of Highway
20 is set for 2018. There are
29 miles remaining.
The construction will be
split into segments: Correctionville to the Hwy. 59 intersection near Holstein; Holstein to County Road M27;
and M27 to the Hwy. 71 intersection at Early.
By doing all of the remaining construction in one
big section, the state will
save about $45 million over
earlier cost estimates, Commissioner Charese Yanney of
Sioux City said.
EXPLOSIVES: Bombs
‘certainly could create
some damage,’ says
SL police chief
search warrant at the East Fifth
Street address, in connection
with the investigation. Upon executing the search warrant, police found a person standing
outside the residence and took
him into custody, identifying
him as Dion Caldwell, 28, of
Storm Lake.
During the search of the East
Fifth Street address, police
seized evidence in connection
with the fight. In addition police
found homemade explosive devices.
The canisters were filled with
gunpowder, according to Public
Safety Director Mark Prosser. “It
certainly could create some
damage. The metal would turn
to shrapnel that could damage
anything from 40 to 50 feet
away,” added Prosser.
At 4 a.m. the SLPD Tactical
Entry Team executed a second
search warrant at 811 Elmwood
Dr. in connection with the fight
investigation. No additional evidence was located.
The 17-year-old, Pratt and
Dowdy were all examined by
medical staff, with Dowdy declining medical attention, and
both the teen and Pratt were
treated and released at Buena
Vista Regional Center for injuries sustained in the fight.
Police charged the 17-yearold boy with two counts of willful injury, two counts of assault
while participating in a felony
and one count of going armed
with intent. He was processed
and transported to the Youth
Detention Facility in Cherokee
with his charges forwarded to
the Juvenile Court System.
Pratt was charged with going
armed with intent and assault
while participating in a felony.
She was booked into the county
jail on a $10,000 bond.
Dowdy was charged with assault. She was booked into the
county jail on a $300 bond.
In connection with the
seized explosive devices police
charged Caldwell with possession of explosive devices with
intent and public intoxication.
He was booked into the county
jail on a $10,300 bond.

SL RAGBRAI theme gives nod to ‘60s tie-dye era
Majority of riders
are ages 45-60
BY WHITNEY ROBINSON
“Give Our Shores a Spin” is
the theme for the Storm Lake
RAGBRAI® XLIII July 19
overnight stay. The theme, logo
and mission statement were
presented and unveiled to the

The theme was derived from
wanting to invite visiting riders
to enjoy the lakeshore and to
entice them to return to The
City Beautiful. The logo is a stylized bike with wheels that incorporate a spin effect, creating
movement. The bike gives way
to a splash of water represent-

Students with 2
‘F’ grades drop
from 20% to 3%
BY WHITNEY ROBINSON
Storm Lake High School is
seeing less failing students this
year. Principal Beau Ruleaux
said they have been working to
increase graduation rates and
their efforts are paying off.
Students receiving two “F”
grades have dropped from 20%
to less than 3%. With this trend,
Ruleaux hopes that graduation
rates will increase. In 2010, 41%
of the students were getting a
“D”, “F” or incomplete grade.
The first semester of this year
that percentage dropped to
37%. Also in 2010, 21% were
getting one “F”, but that has decreased to 8%.
The graduation rate in 2013
was 63%, not including the
charter school. The graduation
rate including the charter
school was 90%, which is above
the state average.
Of Storm Lake’s 136 2014
graduates, 110 students plan to
pursue post-secondary education.
The dropout rate for the
2012-2013 school year was 21,
equaling 2%. Of the 21 drops, 13
were female, eight were male,
two were white, zero were
black, five were Asian, one was
Pacific Islander and 13 were
Hispanic.
Ruleaux thanked the work of
TeamMates for connecting with
students; he believes that the
connection is making a difference in the students’ lives, creating a better graduation rate.
Teachers are working with
different curriculums to better
the students’ learning experience and their hard work is paying off, added Ruleaux at the
school board meeting in February.

BV Board of Supervisors
approves county budget
isting machines are 10 years old.
County Auditor Sue Lloyd,
who oversees elections, wants
to replace them with newer
units from the same company,
Elections Systems and Software
of Omaha. “It’s getting to the
point where I don’t want them
to fail on a big election,” Lloyd
said.
The budget also includes 3%
raises for a majority of salaries,
while there were a few promotions and changes that happened this year.
Within the budget are legal
fees for the pending Des Moines
Water Works lawsuit and the
pipeline inspections. “We don’t
know if we will need this money,
and we hope we don’t, but we
wanted to have some set aside,”
said Supervisor Paul Merten.
The budget year begins in
July.

Urban property
taxes to raise 4.2%
BY WHITNEY ROBINSON
The Buena Vista County
Board of Supervisors approved
its budget for FY 2015-2016 on
Tuesday.
Total property tax collections
for BV County next year are
budgeted to increase 4.3% while
spending is projected to decline
3.9%. The tax rate on urban
property will increase 4.2% to
$7.12 per $1,000 taxable valuation. The rate on rural property
will rise 2.8% to $10.26 per
$1,000. Total spending is budgeted at $18,291,096, down by
$746,000. Total property tax collections are set at $9,189,765,
rising by $387,400.
“This is manageable at these
levels … it is not as high as we
had hoped,” said Chairman
Dale Arends. “We receive a bulk
of our money twice a year with
property taxes, so it is nice when
our treasurer can help move
money around to areas where
we need it most.”
The biggest increase in capital spending is $120,000 for 15
new voting machines. The ex-

further enhance the festive

who designed the final logo.
She noted the bright colors,
movement and simplicity offer
many directions that vendors
and other RAGBRAI committees can use.
The logo and theme
stemmed from the event’s mission statement: “Cast a wide net
of activities, entertainment and
diverse opportunities to showcase Storm Lake and encourage
return visits.”
The Storm Lake RAGBRAI
committees and subcommittees will continue to meet regularly to plan the various activities for the July 19 visit.

What is the Iowa Public
Information Board?
Question: What are the powers and duties of the IPIB?
Answer: The IPIB is an independent agent authorized by statute
(Iowa Code chapter 23) to issue advice, or declaratory orders with
the force of law, regarding the applicability of the open meetings
(Chapter 21) and open records (Chapter 22) laws.
It can receive and investigate complaints alleging violations of
the laws and seek resolution through an informal process. If a
complaint cannot be resolved informally, and the IPIB has probable cause to believe the law has been violated, the board may prosecute the government body or official in a contested-case proceeding under the Administrative Procedures Act (Chapter 17A). The
IPIB can issue subpoenas to investigate complaints and prosecute
cases, and it can also issue orders with the force of law to require
compliance with the sunshine laws.
The IPIB also offers training in Chapters 21 and 22 to government bodies, disseminates information to the public, submits an
annual report to the Governor and Legislature and makes recommendations relating to access to government information.
Question: What are the limits of the IPIB jurisdiction?
Answer: The IPIB does not have jurisdiction over the judicial or
legislative branches, or over the Governor and Governor’s office. A
complaint must be filed with 60 days from the time the alleged violation occurred or the complainant could have become aware of
the violation with reasonable diligence.
Question: Do I have to file a public meetings or records complaint with the IPIB instead of going to court? If I file a complaint
with the board and am dissatisfied with the result, can I appeal?
Answer: Any person, the Attorney General or a county attorney
seeking to enforce open meetings and records laws can bring the
complaint before the IPIB, or the individual can bring an action in
state district court, as under current law. If more than one party simultaneously brings an action before the IPIB and in court, the
court shall stay the case pending resolution of the complaint by
the IPIB. A final IPIB order is subject to judicial review.
Question: Where can I find out more information about the
IPIB?
Answer: The IPIB has a website: www.ipib.iowa.gov. You can
also contact the IPIB staff by phone at 515.725.1781, by fax at
515.725.1789 or by email at [email protected].

Group seeks funds
to help teach special
children how to hunt
BY WHITNEY ROBINSON
Your Local
News Paper
The Storm
Lake Times
Anyone is welcome to volunteer or join SYC. There is no
age limit. SYC hunters vary
from anyone having a physical
challenge, special need, or have
(had) a life-threatening disease
or injury.
Special Youth Challenge is
holding a fundraising event on
Monday, March 16, at 5 p.m. at
the Storm Lake Pizza Ranch.
SYC is a non-profit, faithbased ministry that takes children with special challenges,
physical or mental, out hunting
for deer and turkey near Webb.
There are 160 acres near
Webb that private landowners
let SYC use. “We have a house
that the kids stay at that is
handicapped-accessible with a
barn that we are turning into a
bunk house,” said volunteer
Jaymie Bral. The ranch, as they
call it, includes a trap shoot and
3-D archery shooting range.
SYC is run by volunteers and
is free for the kids who want to
participate. The organization is
not only for kids, but veterans
are welcome too.
“We have one big fundraiser
in August that includes a raffle
and auction to support the purchase of equipment and other
necessities,” added Bral. Other
events include youth and veteran turkey hunts in the spring
and youth and veteran deer
hunts in the fall.
Bral noted that kids from
other states come to the area to
hunt with SYC.
Everything at the ranch is
handicapped-accessible; the
bunkers, house, hunting blinds
and the guns. SYC has a tripod
that holds the gun for kids who
are not strong enough to hold it
themselves. The tripod gives
he/she the opportunity to look
through the scope and pull the
trigger. If a child cannot pull the
trigger, they have a device the
child can hold that has a button
for them to push, added Bral.
Bral has volunteered for SYC
since last summer. “When I
found out about this, I knew
right away this is something I
wanted to volunteer for. My
heart was in it right away,” said
Bral. “It brings me great joy to
help kids do something that
they may not get the chance to
do.”

OPINION
E D I T O R I A L S
Victory for persistence
A
fter 60 years of praying, planning and lobbying, Highway 20
boosters may now celebrate that the Iowa Transportation
Commission this week endorsed a plan to install the final
four-lane stretch from Early to Correctionville by 2018. The
agreement came after the Iowa Legislature approved a 10-cent-pergallon tax increase on fuel this year. Congratulations to those who
stuck with the cause when the odds seemed so tall for so long.
We have taken the position through the years that we should not
be building new expressways until we take care of the highways we
have. Take a drive along Hwy. 3 sometime to see how good its shape
is. Several years ago, the Department of Transportation had planned
for a “Super Two” Highway 71 from Storm Lake to Carroll that would
include turning lanes. That project was buried by political demand
for a widened Highway 20.
Western Iowans want the four-lane road to promote economic
development. Early got a new Casey’s General Store out of the deal.
You take your development where you can get it. The Minnesota Department of Transportation found in a study that four-lane expressways did not increase the amount of trade along the route. MnDOT
studied Rochester and Jackson. Jackson is located at the intersection
of Highway 71 and Interstate 90. Jackson County has lost population,
Buena Vista County with two-lane roads only has grown in population. A four-lane road certainly does not hurt economic development.
Neither were we big fans of a fuel tax increase. Iowa has too many
miles of secondary roads built at a time when farm populations were
10 times higher than they are today, and when machinery was 10
times less powerful. At least the tax increase will help cities and counties avoid using property taxes or debt for road projects.
The completion of the long-awaited four lanes on Highway 20 is
clearly a victory, however, for a part of the state that often feels neglected for good reason. To his credit, Gov. Terry Branstad has made clear
to the transportation commissioners and directors that he has appointed over the decades that finishing Highway 20 was his priority.
We are grateful for the commitment, happy for those who have
worked so hard on the project, and eager to see its completion so that
we might move on to more urgent transportation needs.

Elusive start date
owa legislators remain divided about when school should start
— in mid-August or in early September. The Senate on Tuesday
passed a bill 32-17 with bipartisan support that would allow local
school districts to decide when they want to start. The House appears bound to approve a bill that would call for school to start no
earlier than Aug. 23. This all comes after the governor’s office declared
that the Iowa Department of Education would no longer automatically approve waivers to the state law requiring school to start in September.
The Iowa State Fair and other tourism groups want school to
start later. Educators counter that participation rates for extra-curricular activities, such as football, volleyball and marching band,
could suffer if start dates are shoved back too far.
No doubt, King’s Pointe would love a few extra days in late August to keep its outdoor waterpark open. It means real money to the
city-owned facility, which counts on high-school students for a large
part of its seasonal help.
Allowing every school to set its own start date would be a coordination nightmare. For example, the League of Schools at Iowa Central Community College in Storm Lake needs a common schedule
among area high schools in order to offer vo-tech classes. The state
must offer some guidance.
At this point, the House bill appears to be the better choice. It
tries to strike a middle ground between those who would start in midAugust and those who would prefer to start around Labor Day. Storm
Lake Superintendent Carl Turner is using it for his guidance, telling
us that he would start classes on Aug. 31. Turner himself sounds conflicted. He worries about extra-curriculars, but he also is sensitive to
Storm Lake building up its tourism trade.
Legislators should cut to the chase and set a starting date no earlier than Aug. 23. If it creates too much hardship, the legislators may
always resume the argument next year when they have nothing else
to argue about.

list cut to 11
Did your child graduate

CITYVIEW
E
leven people apparently have made the
cut for second interviews with the Grassley pals who are screening applicants to
advise him on whom to back for two open
federal judgeships in Iowa. Yes, Chuck Grassley is
a Republican and Barack Obama is a Democrat,
but Grassley isn’t just any Republican; he’s chair
of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which must
approve any Obama appointees before they get
to the full Senate. And Iowa no longer has a Democratic Senator. So look for a deal — a deal that
will affect the Iowa judiciary.
The 11 are — Cityview is told:
State court judges Sean McPartland of Cedar
Rapids and Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger, Larry
McLellan and Karen Romano of Des Moines; federal magistrate judges Helen Adams of Des
Moines and Len Strand of Sioux City; federal
bankruptcy judge Thad Collins of Cedar Rapids;
assistant United States attorneys C. J. Williams
and Patrick Reinert of Cedar Rapids, and Steve
Locher, a lawyer with the Belin firm in Des
Moines.
Romano was the choice of former Sen. Tom
Harkin, but the name was sent to the White House
late in the year and was one of scores that the
White House never acted on.
Two Des Moines lawyers who are tuned-in to
things like this say you might want to put your
money on Judge Ebinger. She’s a Yale Law School
graduate, clerked for federal Appellate Judge
Michael Melloy and was an assistant U.S. Attorney both in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines before
being appointed to the state bench by Gov. Terry
Branstad in 2012.
If Ebinger ultimately joins the federal bench in
Des Moines, it would mean that all three active (as
opposed to senior) judges — Ebinger and John
Jarvey and Stephanie Rose — will be people who
spent their entire lawyering career as prosecutors.
An Ebinger ruling will be the subject of an Iowa
Supreme Court hearing this week. Former Indianola city attorney John Hoyman is appealing his
fraud conviction of last year. Among other things,
he says Ebinger should have recused herself from
the case since her daughter was the flower girl in
the wedding of Rob Sand, the assistant attorney
general who prosecuted the case. Sand and
Ebinger’s husband, Des Moines lawyer Louis
Ebinger, are friends, court documents say.
Ebinger sentenced Hoyman to 10 years in
prison.
YOUR TUITION DOLLARS AT WORK: The
four-year graduation rate for the entering class of
2010 at the three state universities was 45.7%, according to data prepared for this week’s meeting
of the Board of Regents. The six-year graduation
rate for the class of 2008 was 70% at the University
of Iowa, 68.9% at Iowa State University and 63.8%
at the University of Northern Iowa.
The average employee at the universities
missed 7.2 days because of sickness last year. That
cost the schools $42.5 million. The average employee took 17.8 days of vacation — about threeand-a-half weeks — in addition to the nine paid
holidays and two unscheduled days off that are
part of state policy.
And the universities spent $563.2 million for
insurance and retirement programs last year.
About 24,000 employees are covered by the TIAACREF retirement plan, and the universities contribute a sum equal to 10% of an employee’s salary
into the plan; the employee contributes another
5%. Another 5,500 or so employees are covered by
IPERS; the universities contribute 8.93% into
IPERS and the employee contributes 5.95%.
Finally, the average salary for a professor at the
University of Iowa in 2013 was $135,342 for an academic year; at Iowa State, it was $122,279, and at
UNI it was $77,274. At the University of Iowa
medical school, the average was $315,500.
ERIC BRANSTAD — one of the governor’s
sons — and his wife, Adrianne, have bought a
five-bedroom, four-bathroom home on 1.3 acres
on 51st Street, south of Grand Avenue. The home
was owned by Sheldon and Roselind Rabinowitz
and is part of a three-home compound that backs
up to Ashworth Park.
The other two homes are owned by Rose
Pomerantz, the widow of Marvin Pomerantz, and
Harry and Pam Bookey. Roselind Rabinowitz and
Marvin Pomerantz were siblings. The conversations could be pretty interesting when Branstad
and Bookey meet in the driveway; Bookey is one
of the town’s more fervent Democrats.
The Branstads paid $447,500 for the ranchstyle house, which was built in 1961 and is assessed at $436,800. The house has about 3,800
square feet of living space, and the lot includes a
tennis court that was built in 1980. County
records also list the Branstads as owners of a
house in West Des Moines that they bought for
$210,000 in 2008 as well as a condominium in
West Des Moines that he bought for $130,000 in
2004.
Eric Branstad is the Iowa director of America’s
Renewable Future, a nonprofit political organization that works to make sure the government
keeps the so-called renewable fuels standard,
which greatly helps Iowa’s ethanol companies.
A stately, 95-year-old home at 5500 Grand Ave.
has sold for $900,000, the highest price for any
single-family home in Polk County so far this year.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 4,000square foot brick-and-stucco home was sold by
the Tamara Stroh trust to William and Amy
O’Brien. David Stroh bought the home in 1998 for
$375,000.
At about the time of the sale, Tamara Stroh
purchased a somewhat smaller brick home on
half an acre at 147 34th St., where 34th runs into
Elmwood Drive. She paid $529,000 to Zachary Eubank, who bought the house in 2008 for $501,000.
It is assessed at $412,900.
COMMENT: THE REGENTS
Mary Andringa and Patty Cownie are well-educated, well-liked, well-known, well-connected
— and wealthy — Iowa Republican women.
They surely will do a good job as new members of the Board of Regents.
And they surely will be confirmed by the Iowa
Senate.
Still….
The appointments once again show Gov. Terry
Branstad obeying the letter of the law but just
laughing at the spirit of it, sticking his thumb in
the eye of the Iowa voter. For with the addition of
the two Republican women, the nine-member
board will have just two Democrats on it. And one
of those was a registered Republican as recently
as 2010 and before that was registered as an independent.
Iowa law dictates the makeup of boards. If a
board has nine members, no more than five can
be of the same party. So the new Regents board
will comply. Republicans Andringa and Cownie
will join fellow Republicans Bruce Rastetter, Milt
Dakovich and Larry McKibben on the board.
The other four? Subashi Sahai, a doctor from
Webster City, has been a registered Democrat for
at least the past 10 years, though his only political
contribution to a state candidate in the past eight
years was a $5,000 check to Branstad last year.
Katie Mulholland, an educator from Marion, was
a “no party” registrant until June 2010, when she
became a Republican. A month later she registered as a Democrat; shortly thereafter, she was
appointed a Regent — which already had a full
complement of Republicans. Recently, she has
contributed modestly to politicians of both parties.
Sherry Bates, the Scranton social worker appointed to a two-year stub term last December, is
registered as a “no party,” though she has been a
Democrat in the past. And Rachael Johnson, the
recently appointed student Regent, also is a “no
party,” according to state records.
The departing Regents are Iowa City lawyer
Bob Downer, long a moderate Republican; Cumming businesswoman Ruth Harkin, whose Democratic credentials are never in doubt, and University of Iowa senior Hannah Walsh, whose
experience includes stints as an intern in the Mitt
Romney campaign and work for two Iowa Republican legislators.
The Board of Regents historically has been
nonpartisan. That image started to slip a bit under
Gov. Chet Culver — he pressed for a pro-labor
vote on a key issue — and now there is little doubt.
The shabby treatment of the proposed Harkin Institute and of Sen. Tom Harkin — Iowa State graduate and prodigious gatherer of federal funds for
the Regents schools — by then-Board President
Craig Lang is the most outrageous political play,
but there are other examples. The latest: the exclusion of labor from the committee screening
candidates for the presidency of the University of
Iowa.
A Regent is supposed to act in the best interest
of the taxpayers and the students in overseeing
the administration of the universities, the hiring
and firing of presidents, the dealings with the LegCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Buena Vista Memorial Park
Cemetery.
Glenn Thomas Harrington
was born Sept. 26, 1920, in
Sioux Rapids, the son of Brett
and Emma (Knadel) Harrington. He was baptized, received
First Communion and was confirmed at St. Mary’s Catholic
Church in Storm Lake.
He attended St. Mary’s
School where he graduated in
1939.
On Sept. 20, 1942, Glenn enlisted in the United States Navy
during World War II. He was
with the West Coast Blimp
Squad 1 as an Airship First Radioman. He was honorably discharged in November 1945.
On Sept. 10, 1947, Glenn was
united in marriage to Ardis Jean

for over 35 years, overseeing all
the paving of the roads in
Buena Vista County. He retired
in 1983.
Glenn was a commander at
Amvets Post 66 and an Elk

He was an avid fisherman,
especially for walleyes. Glenn
enjoyed playing snooker at
Max’s Cigar Store. He received a
lot of pleasure from working in
his garden. Glenn loved going
south to Padre Island for the
winter and traveling to other
places. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, greatgrandfather and friend. He will
be greatly missed.
Those left to cherish his
memory include his children:
Cynthia Harrington (M.R.) of
Omaha, Neb.; Vincent (Pat)
Harrington of Storm Lake;
Leigh Ann (Gregory) Schriber of

brothers, Ray and Edward Harrington; and one sister, Violet
Frederick.
Agriculture’s Clean Water Alliance is leading a $713,000
Water Quality Initiative in the Elk
Run Watershed to engage farmers in parts of Sac, Calhoun and
Carroll counties in discussion
and implementation of water
conservation practices outlined
in the Iowa Nutrient Reduction
Strategy.
“As agriculture retailers, we
recognize the need to reduce nutrient loss across the agricultural
landscape and elevate the awareness and adoption of water quality practices,” Ray Carpenter,
ACWA president, said. “Through
our water monitoring program,
we recognized a need in this watershed and are excited about the
opportunity to demonstrate
practices and create one-on-one
dialogue with farmers.”

Through on-farm evaluations, collecting water samples,
implementing practices from
the Nutrient Reduction Strategy
and uniting farmers, partners
and urban entities the Elk Run
WQI will strive to further awareness and ultimately implementation of water quality conservation practices.
“We will complement the
conservation practices already
established in the area and add
new ones to create an environment where farmers can learn
what practices will have the
most impact on their operations,” said Roger Wolf, ACWA
executive director. “We hope to
have meaningful collaboration
throughout the watershed with
crop and livestock producers
and project stakeholders.”
Outreach events across the
watershed will highlight various
technologies that significantly
reduce loss of nutrients while
maintaining productivity. Additional conservation practices to
be implemented include bioreactors, saturated buffers, cover
crops, nitrification inhibitors
and drainage water management.
“We will target and showcase
both in-field and edge-of-field
practices that reduce nutrient
loss to surface waters,” said
Harry Arenholtz, ACWA chairman. “The WQI funding and industry collaboration make this
possible.”
The Iowa Department of
Agriculture and Land Services
provided $354,000 to the project
as part of the latest WQI projects
announcement. The IDALS
funding will be dispersed over
the course of the three year project in addition to partner and
landowner contributions.
Other project partners include the Iowa Farm Bureau

islature, the reining in of the
board staff, and the overall atmosphere at the universities.
Most issues that come to the
board are routine, but some require open and robust debate
— debate that can shape the atmospheres of the campuses, the
futures of students, the health of
the universities and the pockets
of taxpayers.
That debate is stifled in
boards that are run by dictate or
that are made up of people who
think alike. Where is the robust
debate on the University of
Iowa’s continued ranking as one
of the top party schools in the
nation, on its appearance on a
list of the top 10 schools that
threaten free speech on campus, or on the outrageous athletic budgets at the University of
Iowa and Iowa State University?
For example.
Andringa and Cownie, and
presumably student Johnson,
will be fine additions to the
board, without a doubt. There’s
no doubt that Andringa and
Cownie are dedicated Iowans
who love the state and who will
do their homework, think independently and speak out during
the next six years.
Still….

s the so-called Islamic State
waging a “holy war?”
Clearly their aggression, terror and murder are self-justified by their own twisted,
apocalyptical and sectarian interpretation of Islam. But does
that mean their self-styled war
is a “holy war.” I don’t know
what is in their minds; I don’t
much want to give it any sense
of legitimacy anyway. But what
I do know is that even if they as
well as some pop propagandistic prognosticators do think it is
a “holy war,” they clearly have
not done their homework.
When I first heard that this
term was being tossed around
concerning the so-called Islamic State’s terror, I was reminded of an excellent article
by an Old Testament professor
from the Catholic University of
Louvain, Belgium (in its proper
Flemish: Katholieke Universiteit
Leuven): Prof. Marc Vervenne,
“‘Satanic Verses’? Violence and
War in the Bible” (in Roger
Burggraeve and Idem, eds.,
Swords into Plowshares. Theological Reflections on Peace
[Louvain Theological & Pastoral
Monographs, 8], Louvain:
Peeters Press, 1991, pp. 65-126).
Spanich rice, corn, sliced
peaches and roll
Tuesday: Chicken and gravy,
mashed potatoes, broccoli, applesauce and roll
Wednesday: Hamburger,
seasoned potatoes, carrots and
sliced apples
Thursday: BBQ chicken
sandwich, baked beans, salad
and pineapple
Friday: Italian dunkers,
salad, carrots and pears
In that article, Prof. Vervenne
shows how the term “holy war”
has been misappropriated in
many ways, including interjecting it into Old Testament translations as well as using it to describe battles and wars in the
Old Testament. For example, in
Joel 4:9a, the Hebrew text says,
“Sanctify (a) war, which means,
‘Prepare yourselves religiously
for a war’” (p. 73). Yet the 1970
New English Bible, translates
this as “Declare a holy war.” I am
even more chagrinned that the
2011 New American Bible Revised Edition translates this
similarly: “Announce this to the
nations: Proclaim a holy war!”
Commentators on the OT, beginning especially with WW Iera German scholars, too, have
used “holy war” to describe any
number of battles and wars in
the OT wherein the people of
God believe they are guided by
God in their war efforts (pp. 94104).
But this is, at best, anachronistic, because “holy war” is a
term that arises out of the Greek
amphictyony: Holy war (hieros
polemos) then, “was conceived
as a kind of punitive expedition
against those members of the
tribal confederation who did not
fulfill their obligation” to the
league of tribes (= amphictyony).
Prof. Vervenne sums up:
“The term ‘holy war’ has a very
specific meaning. The expression as such, does not occur in
the texts of the Old Testament
which, nonetheless, occasionally speaks of the ‘wars of
YHWH’ (milhamot yhwh: see
Num 21:14; 1 Sam 18:17; 25:28).
…the term ‘holy war’ is of Greek
origin and functions within a
well-defined context, the amphictyony. [Commentators] …
uncritically applied [it to a] …
totally different culture….
Today the same mistake is
made by those who make a
connection between the socalled jihad, an Islamic term,
and the ‘holy war’ in the Old
Testament” (pp. 106-107).
I certainly wouldn’t expect
many people to be familiar with
this excellent article, but for
those who have been so insistent about calling the so-called
Islamic State’s aggression what
it really is, I would hope they
would also do some solid research to make sure not to call
it what it is not. The so-called Islamic State’s terrorism is not a
“holy war,” and jihad, which
means “struggling” or “striving,”
cannot simply be translated as
“holy war”, even when the term
jihad is used in the context of
war or terrorism. At best such
equivalence between jihad and
“holy war” is anachronistic and
culturally incorrect; at worst,
such mixing of terms may be
grounded in malevolent bias.
Even more egregious would
be any suggestion that the
United States of America is engaged in a “holy war”—at any
time and against any enemy,
even the so-called Islamic State.
That shows not only ignorance of
the true meaning of the term, but
also risks debasing what may be
a legitimately just cause, or “just
war” (for another time, perhaps).

THE STORM LAKE TIMES KING CROSSWORD
Students, faculty, administration, staff and community members filled the gym all day at
the 2014 St. Mary’s Then Feed Just One packaging event.
St. Mary’s helps
starving children
in Honduras with
food packaging
Storm Lake St. Mary’s School
will hold its sixth annual food
packing event to help provide
nourishing meals for starving
children in Honduras in cooperation with the “Then Feed Just
One” organization of LeMars on
Wednesday, April 15. Their mission follows the principles behind Mother Teresa’s famous
words, “If you can’t feed 100
people, then feed just one.” The
St. Mary’s students may not be
able to eliminate hunger completely, but we sure can make a
difference in the lives of many.
In Honduras, 50% of the
population lives in extreme
poverty and must survive on
less than $1 per day. The children of Honduras suffer the
most. Nearly 30% of the children in Honduras suffer from
“stunting,” an irreversible condition that causes their bodies
to be physically weaker and
their minds to be intellectually
weaker as well because they are
not receiving proper nutrients
when they are young. As a re-
sult, those children will learn
less, will earn less later in life,
and will be more vulnerable to
disease. This is such a tragic injustice when our world produces more than enough food
to feed everyone.
The food the students pack
is a highly nutritious meal comprised of four major food ingredients: rice, soy, freeze-dried
vegetables and a powder of
minerals and vitamins needed
in the bodies of children who
are malnourished and hungry.
Fortunately, the meals are very
inexpensive. One bag of food
packed can feed six people and
only costs 96 cents. One box of
food we pack can feed 216 people and only costs $34.
Christians are currently in
the midst of the Lenten season
and Lent is a time dedicated to
prayer, fasting and helping
those less fortunate. Through
this project, St. Mary’s students
and other packaging volunteers
essentially can practice all three,
according to moderator/educator Ryan Berg. Volunteers can
give money to help package
food, pray for those living in
Honduras who desperately
need the food packaged and
can also fast on their own to at
least feel a little of what it is like
to go without.
Ways you can help
Make a donation to the
event ($34 will provide 216
meals).
Make a donation and come
work with the students and
staff. The event will run from
roughly 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.. Come
when it fits for you.
Check with your employer
and see if they would like to donate as well.
Pray for the people of Honduras and for this event so we
can be of help to as many people as possible.
All are welcome to make a
donation and come work a shift
with St. Mary’s. Once volunteers
see how the process works, it is
so much easier to understand
how meaningful the event is
and how many people it really
helps. Also, please check with
your workplace and see if they
would be willing to donate to
our event.
Every dollar helps us feed
more people. If you have any
questions about the event or
would like to volunteer to work
a shift, please contact Berg via
email at [email protected] or by phone at
732-4166. You may also log on
to thenfeedjustone.org for more
information about how the
whole process works.

we made M&M Chocolate Oat
Bars. They looked fairly simple
to make so we thought we
would give them a try. Here is
the recipe for you to enjoy:
M&M CHOCOLATE
OAT BARS
1½ C. oatmeal
1½ C. flour
1 C. brown sugar
1 C. butter, melted
1 can sweetened condensed
milk
1 bag milk chocolate chips
2 T. butter
1 C. M&Ms
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl mix oats, flour,
brown sugar and 1 cup melted
butter. Remove one cup and set
aside. Press remaining mix into
a 9x13 greased pan. In small
bowl melt chocolate chips with
milk and 2T. butter. Pour over
bottom layer. Sprinkle left over
topping and then sprinkle on
the M&Ms. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool and enjoy.
Wednesday afternoon we
had Bible study with Diane
Mangold. Thanks Diane for
sharing the word of the Bible
with us.
Thursday morning we had
hair day. Thanks to Christy for
taking the time to make us always look our best.
Thursday afternoon we
played our favorite game of
bingo. We enjoyed pop and
popcorn as we waited for Ralph
to call out our numbers. Thanks
to Ralph, Don, Shirley and
Remy for taking the time to help
us out. After bingo we enjoyed
coffee and cookies.
Friday morning we played
dominoes again. We love to play
dominoes. Only a couple of us
won today but we really don’t
mind if we lose though it’s the
laughing that we enjoy
Friday afternoon we had
church services with Steve DeGangi. Thanks Steve for sharing
the word of the Lord with us.
Thought for the week: Generosity lies less in giving much than
in giving at the right moment.

‘PHOTOGRAPHY
IS MY PASSION’
There is just no other way to
explain “my” photography. I am
self-taught and I do not consider myself a professional, with
still so much more to learn.
Growing up I always had a camera of some kind. In 2004, I was
going on a mission trip to Mexico. Knowing I would be able to
capture a whole new world I
have never experienced before,
led me to purchasing my first
digital camera. In 2007 our son
would be graduating and I decided to take his senior pictures
myself. Since then I have taken
other seniors and some family
pictures. In 2009 we were planning a trip to Hawaii and my
camera I’d been using quit
working. That is when I pur-
chased my Canon Rebel XTIDSLR and continue to use this
same camera. Capturing the
Ssun, scenic landscapes, old
barns and nature/wildlife pictures are what I enjoy taking the
most! Accomplishments I have
made are “My Claim to Fame”
for having a picture chosen for
the annual Around Siouxland
calendar, I have received purple
ribbon honors for Best of Class,
three billboards have been
made with three different photos I have taken, and the latest
is along Hwy. 59 just south of
Holstein. A local farmer had one
of my photos of the Holstein Avenue of Flags made into a scenic billboard on the east end of
his cattle shed.
At times I am asked, what
piece of advice do I have to give
when it comes to taking pictures. I say; “Do you have a
camera? Start using it and enjoy

If it is for a Wedding Anniversary take photos from your parent’s wedding album, or family photos or
slides of your parents through the years. Some people include video clips of their friends wishing them
well on the final video. You are the director, include anything you want. This videotape will be a wonderful keepsake for your parents and you for years to come.
When your spouse celebrates one of their milestone 40th, 50th, etc birthday’s, surprise them with a
videotape of your lives together for a lasting memory. This videotape will be a collection of family memories such as photos, slides or videoclips from your years together. I will follow any recipe that you have
for this tape. It always proves to be a hit for any milestone birthday celebration.
Have you ever thought to put pictures from your wedding album on videotape? It is a wonderful way
to celebrate you and your spouse’s anniversary.
HOME MOVIE FILM TRANSFERRED TO VIDEOTAPE OR DVD
You probably haven’t seen your home family movies shot years ago due to the fact that your projector
hasn’t worked for the last 10 years. Meanwhile the priceless movies gather dust and grow brittle as the
years pass. Also the kids have grown and each child wants a copy of the family home movies.
Bring the home movie film (8mm, Super 8mm or 16mm) to me and I can transfer all of the movies to
videotape or DVD so all the children can have their own copy. Since I retain all the original footage on master digital videotape, everyone’s copy will look as good as the original. The final family videotape or DVD
has a family title and music to add to your enjoyment.
SLIDES TRANSFERRED TO VIDEOTAPE OR DVD
Bring your slides to me and I will transfer them to videotape in the order that you desire. You determine how long you want each slide to appear on the final videotape. Instead of dragging out the old
slide projector and setting up the movie screen. Simply pop the final videotape into your VCR and
watch your slide show any time you want to. If you want a particular slide on longer, just hit the pause
control on your remote control. I can make as many copies as you want for all members of the family to
enjoy.
The videotape comes complete with whatever title you wish and music. The slides are dissolved
from one to another - that means that one slide fades while the other slide comes into view - which
gives your videotape a truly professional look.
HAVE YOUR HOME VIDEOTAPES TRANSFERRED TO DVD’S
I can transfer all types of videotapes, including VHS, VHS-C, Betamax, 8mm, Mini DV, and Digital 8mm
videotapes to DVD. Your home videotape’s quality deteriorates over time. To preserve your home videos
forever have me transfer them to DVD.

a championship. So much hard work and
dedication goes into it that it is almost
surreal that the season has come to an end.
It also marks the end of an opportunity for
me to continue working with our seniors who
have put so much time and passion into the
season,” stated head coach Dick Jungers.
The group of girls showed that they
wanted to push their limits and went to
work during every practice right away. The
girls were great at executing game plans and
playing defense at a very high level. It was
amazing to see students excel so greatly
because they do play a sport, especially when
they also have other things to worry about.
Between going on in the school, work, and
homework, the girls managed to get it all
done and showing that hard work does pay

Newell-Fonda’s Dicks selected
as Times Player of the Year
BY JAMIE KNAPP
This season was a transition in more ways than one for
Newell-Fonda’s Brady Dicks.
First, he was playing for a new head coach in Shad Coppock. Second, he was asked during the offseason to make the
switch from his forward position under the basket to a small
forward spot on the perimeter.
Dicks handled both transitions well as he had a stellar season in which he led the area in scoring and was one of the top
rebounders and defenders as well.
Dicks was the most complete player in the area this season, and for that reason he is the 2015 Times Player of the Year.
The Mustang forward had an extraordinary season, averaging 19.0 points and 6.5 rebounds a game while shooting 48
percent from the field and leading the team in every major
statistical category.
“We actually moved him from the 4 spot that he played last
year where he scored the majority of his points on the interior to the 3 spot this year,” Coppock said. “It was a risky transition as we were taking our best low post scorer and moving
him to the perimeter. He scored inside and out this year and
made the transition to the perimeter very smoothly. I think he
had a remarkable year.

42 percent. Lange was 73 of 101
from the free throw line for 72
percent.
Lange also charted 32 rebounds, 36 assists and 21 steals
for Storm Lake.
“Parker really matured this
season as an offensive threat,”
Storm Lake coach Bob Grant
said. “Scoring 17.5 points per
game was not an easy task as he
was always the point of emphasis of our opponents’ defense. He worked hard in the
offseason on his shot. As his
mid-range game improved, I
found that it took pressure off
of the 3-point line and opened
the lane for him to penetrate.
Parker is well on his way to be a
1,000-point scorer for his high
school career.”

player for two years as the main
ball handler, but also gathers a
high number of rebounds and
is an excellent defender,” Poca-
hontas Area/L-M coach Brian
Heide said.
Josh Demers
Storm Lake St. Mary’s
A senior, Demers was a second team all-Twin Lakes Conference choice this season.
The guard led the Panthers
in scoring with 323 points in 22
games for an average of 14.7 a

216 field goals for 44 percent,
including 33 of 82 from 3-point

“Austin, for being a sophomore, has been at or near the
top of scoring, rebounding and
blocks in both years for us and
works hard to be even better,”
Pocahontas Area/L-M coach
Brian Heide said.
Jackson Graff
Ridge View
A junior, Graff led the Raptors in scoring this season. The
forward scored 299 points in 22
games for an average of 13.6
points a game.
Graff made 101 of 209 field
35 percent. He was 71 of 102

Graff charted 88 rebounds,
43 assists, 27 steals and nine
blocked shots for Ridge View.
“Jackson is a complete
player as he is able to hit the
perimeter shot and take it to the
rim to score,” Ridge View coach
Ken Slater said. “He is a tough
matchup and teams were most
concerned in stopping him. He
also plays solid defense. We
work a lot of our offense
through him.”
Ross Friedrich
Alta-Aurelia
A senior, Friedrich was a second team all-Twin Lakes Conference selection this season.
The point guard led the Warriors in scoring this season with
236 points in 21 games for a 13.1
average. He made 82 of 215 field
27 of 88 from the 3-point arc for
31 percent. Friedrich was 45 of
68 from the free throw line for
66 percent.
Friedrich led his team in assists with 81 and also charted 31
steals and 74 rebounds.
“Ross was our floor general,”
Alta-Aurelia coach Chris Abaray
said. “He had as smart of a basketball mind as anyone I have
ever coached. His ability to understand game plans and execute them was tremendous. He
was capable of playing all five
spots on the floor, if necessary.
He was at his best from the
point guard position. He was
another player who had multiple 20-point outings this season. He was at his best when he
was scoring 10-12 points and
getting everyone else involved
so we could achieve the balance
we were always aiming for. You
don’t just up and replace a guy
like this. He has been one of the
craftiest and smartest players in
the area. His contributions will
be sincerely missed.”
25 more points than shot attempts in a season is an impressive stat for a young player,
including his game at Pocahontas where he scored 31 points
on only 15 field goal attempts.
He also grew tremendously at
the defensive end and was able
to play multiple positions and
use his quickness to cover lots
of ground. I saw a lot of maturity and growth in both his
game on the court and how he
works in the gym when no one
is in the stands. He has a very
bright future in this program.”

percent.
Scheidegger grabbed 98 rebounds and charted 18 steals,
12 assists and 10 blocked shots.
“Mason had a nice year inside for us,” Newell-Fonda
coach Shad Coppock said. “He
really worked on his outside
shot last summer and was able
to stretch defenses some for us
this year. Mason has great footwork that enabled him to keep
his body between his defender
and the basketball. When you
can do that you have great opportunities to score the ball.”
Zach Tokheim
Ridge View
A senior, Tokheim was second on the Raptors in scoring
this season.
The forward scored 242
points in 22 games for an average of 11.0 a game. He connected on 90 of 182 field goals

from 3-point range for 33 percent. Prior was 51 of 79 from the
free throw line for 65 percent.
Prior was second on the
team in rebounding with 71. He
also had 10 assists and 13 steals
while blocking nine shots.
“Mac had a very strong year
for us, especially on the offensive end, and considering that
he was drawing the opponents’
best defender every night out
makes his numbers that more
impressive,” Sioux Central
coach Stephen Tjaden said.
“What impressed me most
about how he played this year
was not necessarily the stats but
how he evolved as a scorer.
Through the first half of the season he was able to get open
looks on the perimeter off of
1-2 screens or simply by beating
his man to a spot. However, as
scouting reports caught up to
him, those open looks shrank
quickly. From that point on, he
really started looking for new
ways to get open and score, either through dribble penetration, transition, getting to the
free throw line or by reading the
defense and taking what they
were giving him.
“He was very efficient when
it came to points versus shot attempts,” Tjaden added. “Having

Ridge View coach Ken Slater

game, passes well, and he has a
high basketball IQ. He loves the
game of basketball and gives
everything he has every night.”
Michael Demers

He made 70 of 175 field goal attempts for 40 percent. From the
free throw line, Sliefert was 63 of
112 for 56 percent.
The guard also recorded 45
assists, 26 steals and 67 rebounds.
“Zach recovered nicely from
ACL reconstruction from an in-
jury late last season,” Alta-Aurelia coach Chris Abaray said. “He
was as explosive getting to the
basket as anyone in the area. He
got better as the season went
on, regaining his confidence.
He was quiet on the floor. He led
by example and is one of the
hardest workers I have ever
coached. Whoever steps into his
role will have huge shoes to fill.
He finished this season averaging 11 points, but had multiple
20-plus point nights.”
Aaron Aljets
Pocahontas Area/L-M

and scoring stats,” Pocahontas
Area/L-M coach Brian Heide
said. “He has also been a leader,
going as hard in practice as he
does on game day.”

“Adam had a nice year inside
for us,” Newell-Fonda coach
Shad Coppock said. “He is long
and has great length with the
ability to get in and out of tight
spaces and still get his shot off
with a great amount of touch.
Adam was extremely active on
the boards for as well and had
the potential to do more, but he
battled foul trouble all year
which limited his effectiveness
in some games. He was also terrific for us defensively this year
with his length and his movement he was able create a lot of
havoc for opposing teams.”
Garret Lamp
Ridge View
A junior, Lamp was third on
the team in scoring this season.
The guard totaled 214 points
in 22 games for an average of 9.7
a game. He made 80 of 164 field
32 of 76 from the 3-point arc for
42 percent. Lamp was 22 of 36
percent.
Lamp led the team and was
second in the area in assists
with 95 (4.3 pg.). He also tallied
71 rebounds and 39 steals.
“Garret is our floor leader
and he gets us going offensively,” Ridge View coach Ken
Slater said. “He is a gunslingertype guy as he takes chances.
He has great vision and a high
motor, which makes him diffi-
“Transitioning to a new position heading into your senior
year is as tough as it gets, but we
told him prior to the summer
that this move was coming,”
Coppock added. “I think the results of his offseason work
speak for themselves.”
Coppock measured the impact that Dicks had on the team
this season.
“Brady did so many positive
things on the court for our team
this year, but one thing that
goes overlooked sometimes is
how good a defender Brady is,”
he said. “He played the other
team’s best player each night regardless of the position he
played. If their best player was
a post, Brady defended him. If
their best player was a point
guard, Brady defended him.
There’s not a lot of players that
can defend any position on the
floor, but Brady gave us that
ability.”
There’s one clear trait that
makes DIcks such a special
player.
“Brady is a special player because he is such a hard worker,”
Coppock said. “Everything he
has accomplished, he has
earned. He made himself a low
post scorer. He made himself a
scorer from the perimeter and
he made himself a great defender. All of these things are
accomplished in the offseason
while no one is watching,
spending time in the weight
room and in the gym.”
Coppock talked about how
Dicks made everyone around
him better.
“Brady was the focus of our
opponents’ defense nearly
every night he stepped on the
floor, which naturally created
spaces for his teammates to
work in,” Coppock said.
Talented players come along
every season, but they don’t always possess the traits necessary to be special.
“I have coached talented
players before, but what made
Brady so much fun to coach
was his work ethic, his willingness to be coached, and his desire to be a good teammate,”
Coppock said. “Talented players don’t always have those
three qualities, but Brady has all
three in force.”
cult to guard. He led in assists
and 3-point percentage (42 percent). He also plays tough onthe-ball defense.”
Josh Werge

The Tornado guard scored
average. Werge connected on 77
of 204 field goal attempts for 38

beyond the 3-point arc for 32
percent. Werge was 21 of 36
percent.
Werge grabbed 55 rebounds
and led the team in assists and
steals with 39 and 32, respectively.
“Josh was a pleasant addition to our team,” Storm Lake
coach Bob Grant said. “His attitude and effort were outstanding every day this season. Josh
is an explosive player who has
the ability to score from anywhere on the court. Josh was
one of our statistical leaders in
every category. He just has the
knack for making things happen.”
Adam Mullen
Newell-Fonda
A senior, Mullen was a third
team pick in the Twin Lakes
Conference this season.
The Mustang forward

an average of 5.5 a game. He
also tallied 38 blocked shots, 35

Newell-Fonda teams place first at tourney
Fourth grade (above), sixth grade (below left) and eighth grade (below right) teams
from Newell-Fonda participated in the 32nd annual Bucketmakers Tournament last Saturday in Onawa. All three teams captured first place trophies.
For the first time this season
Buena Vista trailed in a game,
but the Beavers would overcome a 5-0 deficit to score a late
run and edge Carroll University
(Wis.) 6-5 on Tuesday morning
to wrap up its season-opening
trip to Tucson, Ariz.
The Pioneers scored single
runs in the first and second innings before adding two more
in the third and one more in the
fourth to take the 5-0 lead.
BVU, which combined to
score 25 runs in a doubleheader
sweep of Bethany Lutheran on
Monday, was held in check
early on but wasn’t going to be
held scoreless for long. They
began to chip away at the lead
with two runs in both the fourth
and fifth innings.
Bryce Wessels put the
Beavers on the scoreboard with
an RBI groundout while Eric
Gurbacki followed with runscoring single. A pair of RBI
groundouts put BVU within a
run through five innings.
Michael Zellar evened things
up with his RBI single in the
sixth before Tanner Truesdell
put the Beavers in front for the
first time with his double, scoring Brandon Wessels. Truesdell
now has a team-leading eight
RBI on the season.
The Pioneers threatened in
the eighth, loading the bases
with no one out, but Lucas
Hadaway entered the game and
worked out of the jam, getting a
strikeout and a big assist from
rightfielder Bennett Mann, who
caught a fly ball and threw a
bullet to home plate in time to
gun down the runner trying to
score, completing the inningending double play.
Hadaway came back out for
the ninth and worked around a
two-out double en route to his
first save of the season.
Truesdell also tripled in the
game and finished 2-for-4 with
two RBI and a run scored as
Gurbacki went 2-for-3 with a
walk and an RBI.
Brandon Wessels doubled
twice and scored a pair of runs.
BVU finished the game with 13
hits, including six for extra
bases.
Ian Grigsby made his first
start since 2013 after serving as
the team’s closer last season. He
worked the first three innings
and was charged with four runs
on five hits while walking three
and striking out one.
Jake Lewis came on and was
solid in relief, working the next
three innings and allowing just
one run and scattering four hits
while also striking out four.
Cam Beatty surrendered two
hits and two walks over his one
inning of work before Hadaway
allowed one hit and struck out
two in his two innings.
Buena Vista, now 5-0, will
travel to Nebraska Wesleyan
this Saturday and Sunday for a
three-game weekend series.
