Seatbelt Safety
This Thanksgiving
Holiday Season
Law Enforcement Makes
Seatbelt Enforcement a
Top Priority During the
Thanksgiving Holiday
Iowa
law
enforcement
including the Sigourney Police
Department will be out in force
again this Thanksgiving Holiday
with increased visibility and
aggressive traffic enforcement.
The Iowa Governor’s Traffic
Safety
Bureau
(GTSB)
is
announcing extra city, county
and state officers out in force
ensuring traveler’s buckle up,
slow down and drive responsibly in order to save lives and
reduce crashes.
This high visibility traffic enforcement event begins
Monday, Nov. 25 and run
through Sunday, Dec. 1.
“The number one priority of
this Special Traffic Enforcement
Program (sTEP) is to SAVE
LIVES,” says Randy Hunefeld,
sTEP Coordinator with the
GTSB. “According to the Iowa
Department of Transportation,
nine traffic fatalities occurred
during the 2012 Thanksgiving
Holiday, which is just not
acceptable.” Six of those nine
deaths were motorists NOT
using seatbelts.
• Iowa has already lost 255
drivers/occupants to traffic
fatalities during 2013, as of the
28th of October;
• 43 less than a year ago at
this time.
• Almost 39% of these deaths
were reported as not wearing
their seat belts, while 26% are
listed as unknown or could not
be determined.
These statistics clearly prove
we must make seatbelts a top
priority.
• More than 50% of all fatalities, not including motorcycles
and pedestrians, are the result
of drivers/occupants not taking
the time to buckle up.
Iowa law enforcement wishes
everyone a safe Thanksgiving
Holiday and requests every
occupant buckle up when you
are in your vehicle. The data
clearly shows buckling up alone
increases your odds of surviving
a serious crash by 50%.
“Buckle Up!
Every Trip!
Every Time.”

KC Board of Supervisors Meet
Supervisors held the official
canvas of election results for all
16 cities in Keokuk County as
part of their regular meeting on
Tuesday, Nov. 12. Totals were
reviewed and corrected as needed.
County
Engineer
Andy
McGuire gave updates on the
highway department. The annual
safety day was held, followed by
a retirement gathering for retiring employees last week. The
remaining openings for equipment operators are almost filled.
Pavement patching is underway
and progress continues on the
Kinross bridge.
A resolution approving a contract with English River Watershed
Authority was approved as recommended by County Attorney
John Schroeder. All concerns
Schroeder had about language
were corrected.
An agreement with Alliant
Energy allows for the General
Assistance office to log into clients accounts to view bills and
usage. The office itself can’t be
the user, it must be an individual. The name was updated to
Tami Gilliland to allow her access
to the needed data.
A conference board meeting
will be held on Monday, Dec. 2 to
discuss the options for the spring
flyover. Costs of the flight, who
should do the flight as well as
other details will be discussed at
this meeting.
Emergency
Management
Coordinator Larry Smith discussed a recent manure spill.
Hazmat was contacted by a local
fire chief even though hazmat
is not needed for manure spills.
Smith wanted to discuss a possible protocol for this type of
situation. There will be follow-up
on this situation at the 911 meeting.
Supervisor
Deke
Wood
attended a 10-15 meeting.
Supervisor Mick Berg attended
Aim Empowerment, Decat and
Mental Health meetings.
The Supervisor then met for a
short regular meeting on Monday,
Nov. 18. County Engineer Andy
McGuire gave updates on projects in the county.
The Kinross bridge’s deck has
been poured. The bridge was
raised three feet. With decent
weather, the bridge will continue
to progress quickly.
No scoring information has
been received yet about the Lacey
bridge near What Cheer.
The County was approved
for $150,000 in Transportation
Safety Improvement funds to
cover the match amount needed
for the High Risk Rural Roads
(HRRR) funds. The HRRR fund
approved $500,000 for the W15
project. This now allows all funds
to be paid from state money for
the entire project.
Comments from residents
were discussed, from the amount
of rock on road to the type of
rock on the road. Also big trucks
versus little truck advantages
were discussed. The highway
department uses about 300 ton
of rock per mile of rural road.
Approximately, 100,000 ton is
used per year on the roads in
Keokuk County. The department
tries to rotate the roads allowing each road to be rocked every
third year.
English River Watershed
Authority will hold a meeting at
the Sigourney Public Library on
Thursday, Nov. 21 at 7:00 p.m.
This is the first annual meeting
of the group.
The basement of the courthouse needs new shelving and
organization. Items were moved
away from the walls when work
was being completed and are
now in no particular order. This
is making it difficult for some
offices who need access to information in the basement.
Supervisor Deke Wood attended a Pathfinders meeting and the
County Safety Day. Supervisor
Mike Hadley attended the 911
meeting, ISAC and the County
Safety Day. Supervisor Mick Berg
visited with residents around the
county about the English River
Watershed Authority and it’s
upcoming meeting.
Supervisors will meet again
on Monday, Nov. 25 at 8:30 a.m.
in the board room at the courthouse.
Iowa Fraud Fighters To Honey Creek Resort
Iowa
Insurance
Commissioner Nick Gerhart
announced the Iowa Insurance
Division (IID) is bringing the
statewide “Iowa Fraud Fighters –
Shield Your Savings” public education program to Honey Creek
Resort in Moravia on Thursday,
Nov. 21. The program educates
and empower Iowans to combat
and report investment and insurance fraud.
“Con artists are targeting
Americans age 60 and older,
swindling more than 5 million
Americans out of almost $3 billion
each year,” said Commissioner
Gerhart. “Unfortunately, many
smart Iowans have fallen victim
to these very slick and sophisticated investment scammers, and
some have lost their entire life
savings.”
Martha-Jo Ennis, a retired
school teacher from Marion,
said she never understood how
anyone could fall for an investment scheme until it happened
to her—and she lost her retirement savings and the money she
invested from the sale of her family farm.
According to Linn County
District Court records, Ennis was
one of numerous Iowa victims
who lost millions of dollars in a
Ponzi-type scheme orchestrated
by Noah Aulwes, former owner
of Covenant Advisors of Cedar
Rapids. Aulwes plead guilty last
year to theft in the first degree,
securities fraud and money laundering and received a prison sentence of up to 10 years. Victim
impact statements read during
the hearing stated Aulwes preyed
on retirees, using charm and
Christianity to get a foot in the
door and gain victims’ trust.
“Iowans need to take the
time to double-check investment
offers and verify with our agency
whether the adviser and offer are
legitimate,” says Commissioner
Gerhart. “Our goal is to educate
Iowans on common scams and
arm them with tools and tips
to prevent fraud from happening to them. The Iowa Insurance
Division and our partner government agencies are attacking this
senior fraud problem at the forefront—we are coming to Honey
Creek Resort to help southeast
Iowans prevent fraud.”
Commissioner
Gerhart,
and representatives from Iowa
Attorney General Tom Miller’s
office, Iowa Department on Aging
and Senior Health Insurance
Information Program (SHIIP)
are presenting the Iowa Fraud
Fighters program and panel discussion.
Complimentary bus transportation is provided from 10
Iowa county seats, including
Fairfield, Keosauqua, Bloomfield,
Sigourney, Ottumwa, Oskaloosa,
Albia, Chariton, Corydon and
Centerville. Registration begins
at 11:30 a.m. and the luncheon
and program runs from 12-1:30
p.m. Informational booths staffed
by agency representatives, as
well as forum assistance providers Milestones Area Agency on
Aging and AARP, close at 2 p.m.
“This forum gives Iowans the
opportunity to speak with several government agencies and
learn about the state resources
available to help prevent fraud
from happening to them or a
loved one,” said Gerhart. “We
also want Iowans to know we are
here to help them take charge in
the fight against fraud and the
importance of reporting fraud to
state and federal agencies when
it occurs.”
Iowans are encouraged to
visit www.IowaFraudFighters.gov
to learn about common investment and insurance scams, and
discover tips and tools to prevent
fraud. The site includes answers
to frequently asked questions
and a checklist of information
to gather from investment advisers to verify the legitimacy of the
offer and the investment adviser.
The Iowa Insurance Division
(IID) has general control, supervision and direction over all
insurance and securities business transacted in the state, and
enforces Iowa’s laws and regulations. Consumers with insurance
or investment questions or complaints may contact the IID tollfree at 877-955-1212, or visit the
division at www.iid.state.ia.us.
Veterans Day at Keokuk County Health Center
Keokuk County Health Center was honored by veterans Leroy James, Bill Rees, Don Lane
and John Wilkening on Monday, Nov. 11. These men gave recognition to Leroy Brown, who
served in World War II in Europe. KCHC is recognizing these gentlemen for making us realize
the importance of the men and women who have served and those who are still fighting for our
freedoms.
TD&T Financial Group
Announce Name Change
TD&T Financial Group, P.C.
has announced they are changing their name to TD&T CPAs
and Advisors, P.C., effective
immediately. Though ideas of a
name change have been in progress for some time, TD&T’s firm
has come to a concise decision
on how to move forward.
“We couldn’t be more excited
for this change within our firm,”
said Dick Donohue, Managing
Principal at TD&T. “We want our
clients to know we are still committed to what we have done for
the past 30 years, and we want
our local communities and nonprofits to know who we are and
what we believe in. I believe this
name change will accomplish
just that.”
According to TD&T principal Joe Ryan, “Changing our
name isn’t changing who we are.
Our new name is only explaining to the public what financial
group really meant to us. We
have always been CPAs and business advisors, and we wanted
to more clearly communicate
that through our name. CPAs
is clearly the foundation of what
we do, but “advisors” lets businesses across Southeast Iowa

WRIGHT BENEFIT POTLUCK
A Benefit Potluck for Denise
Wright is Saturday, Nov. 23 from
3-6:30 p.m. at Webster Methodist
Church Basement.
Letter to the Editor:
Senator Chuck Grassley
voted recently against a Senate
bill that would protect people
from discrimination based on
their sexual orientation. He
voted against this, he claimed,
based on religious grounds. To
be clear, Chuck Grassley believes
some American citizens should
be treated unfairly, treated worse
than other Americans, simply
because he does not like who
they are attracted to. Grassley
believes his God (who instructs
us to love our enemies, to treat
our enemies, just as we love and
treat those close to us) wants us
to treat some people we don’t like
unfairly. Maybe he believes his
God is so petty that Grassley’s
own eternal soul would be at
risk for voting to extend protection from discrimination to those
who Grassley and his God do not
approve of. That’s a juvenile God
right there.
I am assuming here Grassley
claims to be a Christian, a follower of Jesus like myself. If that’s
the case, he does not understand
his own God very well—for his
actions are not in line with what
his own God has instructed him
to do. WWJL—What Would Jesus
Legislate? What laws did Jesus
instruct us to pass in his Holy
Name? What people did Jesus
instruct us to withhold protection from? What people did Jesus
tell us to treat as less than other
people? Oh wait, I know this:
none of them.
If God is so powerful, does
he need Chuck Grassley to balance the scales of eternal justice
against the sinful homosexuals,
here in the Land of Equality? Or
maybe, just maybe, should we
expect our senators to vote in line
with the principles of our mortal,
earth-bound government that is
made to govern all citizens, and
leave the religious and eternal
soul judging to God? He doesn’t
need Chuck Grassley’s help.
When your (mistaken) religious
beliefs make you vote against
the fundamental principles of
our nation—equality, freedom—
maybe it’s time to get out of politics. If you want to preside over
people according to your religion,
there’s always the seminary. But
if you’re going to be a lawmaker,
stop defying the principles of our
Constitution for any reason (and
particularly because you can’t
read the Bible).

Letter to the Editor:
An FBI ‘sting operation’ that

California sex-trafficking ring
last July has highlighted the vulnerability of foster children. The
LA Times reported 60 percent

sex-trafficking had been in the
custody of child protective services. Many times when children
are rescued from sex-traffickers,
they are placed back directly into
the foster care system to repeat
the same vicious cycle.
A 2011 audit of Sacramento,
Calif., foster care facilities
revealed the addresses of more
than 1,000 registered sex offenders matched the addresses of
licensed foster care facilities
and homes; almost 600 of these
offenders were considered to be
‘high-risk’.
Now that sex-trafficking and
pedophilia have moved out of
isolation; and into a worldwide
internet-based community of
people sharing images and techniques; the demand for available
children has skyrocketed. Of the
millions of pornographic images on the internet, 10 percent
of infants and toddlers; while
76 percent are of pre-pubescent
children. As such, nearly 90 percent of all internet porn involves
exploited children.
The sordid industry of human
trafficking is far more lucrative
than the sale of drugs/weapons
because the children involved are
considered to be ‘reusable assets’;
the ‘consumers’ of which include
doctors, lawyers, business executives, teachers, coaches, clergy
and everyone in between; they
don’t necessarily look evil, but
obviously they are.
There’s an old American cliche
which states that “as California
goes, so goes the nation”; and
that would definitely include
Iowa; as the Hawkeye State currently boasts a morally-perverted State Supreme Court Justice
system; and the University of
Iowa perpetually flaunts its own
blatantly- pornographic “hawk’s
head” school logo, emblazoned
on jackets, license plates, sweatshirts, and a host of other items,
‘ad infinitum ad nauseum’. Yes,
We Have No Shame.
Wendell E. Carr, Ottumwa
Working Out
Today, as I sit in my study
and ponder, my thoughts draw
me to a scripture I read, that
used to really bother me. It is
a verse found in Philippians 2:
12 where Paul says, “work out
your own salvation with fear and
trembling.” When I first read this
verse I put down the Bible and
panicked, knowing there was no
way I possessed the skills necessary to accomplish what this
verse was saying. I had the fear
and trembling part down pat, but
the working it out on my own
part panicked me. I felt so illprepared for this task and worried somehow I had reached the
un-climbable wall. There I stood
in fear and trembling down to my
tippy-tippy toes. What was I to
do? Like every red blooded chicken, I ran for my life away from
this verse. I avoided it, skipped
over it, and refused to face it for
some time.
Finally, I could stand it no
more. I decided to face the music
and search out the way to work
it out by digging into the original Greek text of the Bible for
guidance. The Greek was very
clear. When Paul wrote to the
Philippians, salvation was never
the question. He and they knew
it could not be earned or worked
for. The words, “fear and trembling” in the Greek expressed the
meaning of deep reverence and
respect. The words for “work out”
meant put into action. Then the
verse became clear. What Paul
told them was to put into action
God’s saving work in our lives.
Step out in action. That made
sense. Step out with reverence,
respect and confidence in God’s
power. I now felt better. But
wait, there was more. In the very
next verse Paul said “in order to
accomplish these things God will
work in you as you walk, giving
you the desire and power to do
what pleases him.” Wow! All we
have to do is take the first step.
Risky? Sure. Worth it? You bet
ya.
The 2013 holiday season is
upon us. What a perfect time to
put into action the loving and
power gifts God has given to each
of us. Allow God to empower you
to share the many blessings He
has bestowed on you. Express
thanksgiving, joy, kindness and
love to another this season, starting now.

County Bank‛s home loans feature
FDIC
the first time any Savage has
met that milestone since Chris
Carter’s first season coaching
at Sigourney in 2001. Keota
finished fifth in the conference
at 6-4 and lost in the first
round at Sigourney. Senior
Kelsi Sieren ended her career
with back-to-back First-Team
SICL honors, while Madison
Sheetz and first year starter Abby Schulte were named
Second-Team All-Conference.
The Eagles will look forward to
a strong 2014 season after losing only Kelsi Sieren to graduation. Meanwhile, the Savages
will have a much different look
next fall, but return Carter,
who – I’ll say it – is the SICL’s
best player.
Tri-County took a step in
the right direction by winning its first set in two years.
The Trojans won the first set
against English Valleys late
in the season to give them
something great to hang their
hats on this season. The Bears
wrapped up their season with
four wins and were led by
junior Rylee Voss, who led the
team in blocks and in kills.
In addition to Voss, EV will
return outside hitters Lauren
Miller and April Lee another
season with hopes of dramatically increasing its win total.
Pekin rebuilt its squad
from the ground up this fall
after losing a number of talented seniors. The Panthers
managed an 11-10 record
and fifth-place finish in the
SEISC North. Sophomore Beth
Atwood earned First-Team AllConference after playing very
little as a freshman. Setter
Whitney Horras ended SEISC
play fifth in the conference
with 144 assists; most of which
went to Atwood, Tiana Slaney,
Peyton Atwood and Madelyn
Baker. The Panthers should be
a team to reckon with in 2014
when they return three starters and a number of talented
reserves.
No one played BGM tougher on the gridiron this season than Pekin. The Panthers
finished their season at 9-3,

Storylines upon storylines
surrounded the fall sports
teams in Keokuk County entering the 2013-14 school year.
With high expectations for
some and a clean slate with
renewed hope for others; teams
around the area prepared all
summer for what they hoped
would be a special fall.
They say you’re supposed
to save the best for last, but
when a state champion is
involved, traditional protocol
can be ignored.
The Pekin girls’ cross country team was the best Class 1A
team in Iowa this year; running away with the State title
in Fort Dodge by a comfortable
margin. The Panthers did it
with one senior, five sophomores and a freshman, and
also without one of its top runners, freshman Bonnie Becker.
Pekin placed three girls in the
top 21 in the Class 1A field and
was led by Gwynne Wright,
who placed seventh with a
time of 15:17. The Pekin boys
also made a splash by qualifying as a team for the State
Meet. Sophomore Austin Fariss
placed 17th overall in Class 1A
by running a 17:11, marking
his second State appearance in
as many years.
Staying on the topic of
cross country State Meet, the
area had one more runner
whose name needs mentioned.
English Valleys’ Allison Hewett
reached Fort Dodge in her
senior season after coming up
one spot short as a junior.
Hewett placed 71st out of 126
runners in Class 1A, giving her
great momentum for track and
field this spring. As a team,
the Bears came through with
a third-place finish at SICLs
in Lynnville and had impressive seasons from Hannah
Green, Amelia Koehn and Abby
Westhoff.
After winning the South
Iowa Cedar League in 2012,
the Sigourney boys fielded
an almost entirely new squad
this fall, yet still managed to
maintain a high level of performance. The Savages finished fourth as a team in the
SICL this fall and were led by
freshman Tyler Crawford, who
placed fifth in the conference
and 20th at District. Another
freshman,
Will
Flanegin,
proved more than capable of
making an impact by finishing
14th at SICLs, while Nathan
Fritz continued to perform by
finishing 16th.
On the volleyball front,
Sigourney and Keota each put
together solid seasons after
returning a majority of their
players from a year ago. The
Savages finished second in the
SICL at 8-2 and were playing
their best volleyball at season’s end. Sigourney came up
brutally short at Winfield-Mt.
Union to end its postseason
run, but had two First-Team
SICL selections (Jordan Carter
and Sydney Davis) and one
Second-Team
pick
(Becca
Ohland). Ohland, a senior,
surpassed 1,000 career digs
this season, while Davis did
the same with assists; marking

SK’s Ben Horras kept eye
contact on the ball.

The Pekin bench reacted after a block.
two of the losses coming to
BGM, who plays in the Class
A Championship Game this
weekend. Pekin blew out Lone
Tree in the first round and
dominated Lisbon, 27-6, to
reach the quarterfinals, before
falling in Brooklyn to end its
season. The Panthers ran the
ball and played defense as good
as anyone in the state this fall.
Sophomore Chase Copeland
led Pekin with 1142 yards on
the ground, while Petie Clubb
averaged 7.5 yards per carry
and rushed for 918 yards.
Quarterback Kolby Allsup ran
for 571 yards and ten touchdowns, while also throwing for
seven. Tanner Adam averaged
13 yards per carry, running for
407 yards on just 31 carries.
Jared Bond all but ensured
another All-State selection after
leading Pekin with 110 tackles
from the defensive end position. Linebacker Cole Reighard
finished just three tackles shy
of 100, while Clubb, Tanner
Adam and Eric Adam each had
over 80. The Panthers recorded an impressive 18 interceptions on the year, with Allsup
and Keaton each nabbing four.
Outside of the Panthers’ win
at Lisbon, their 22-15 win at
Montezuma in the seventh
game was the highlight of the
season. It was the Braves’ first
loss of the season and left the
Panthers unbeaten in district
play.
Outside of the two losses to
BGM, Pekin’s only other defeat
was in its second game against
Sigourney-Keota. In arguably
the Cobras’ biggest highlight of
the season, SK’s Blaine Gretter
scored the winning touchdown
by getting to the pylon after
scooping up a low snap on a
field goal try; giving the Cobras
the 27-21 win. Decimated by
LE
injuries throughout the year,
the Cobras finished at 5-4 and
missed the postseason in a
loaded district that included Regina, Wilton and West
Branch, who beat SK 47-46 in
overtime midway through the
year. Nate Sieren and Kolton
Greiner each ran for eight
touchdowns on the season,
while Peyton Crawford averaged
eight yards a carry and rushed
for almost 300 yards. After
starting the first four games of
the year, senior quarterback
Luke Lyle sat out the next
four with an injury. Sophomore
Blaine Gretter filled in nicely,
finishing with 258 yards, five
touchdowns and no interceptions. Defensively, Jeremiah
Green and Cole Streigle each
finished with over 80 tackles,
while Ben Horras had 75. The
Cobras started the season at
4-1, but dropped three of their
last four games in the meat of
their schedule.
In the same district as Pekin,
BGM and Montezuma, English
Valleys found wins hard to come
by this fall. The Bears finished
at 1-9, but their one win was
a 54-20 Homecoming blowout
against Southeast Warren. EV
began the year with a heartbreaking 6-0 overtime loss to
Iowa Valley. Both defenses
dominated the game, but the
Tigers managed to find the end
zone in their first overtime possession. EV’s first play of overtime ended with a controversial
lost fumble by Brennen Grimm,
who looked to be already down.
Grimm was a beast this year,
running for 1057 yards and finishing with 49 tackles. Senior
Dillon Sanders rushed for nearly 400 yards and also had 49
tackles, while Colton Miller led
the Bears in tackles with 80.

each eclipsed 50 tackles on the
season.
Tri-County finished the
year with three wins, including
a 72-point explosion against
Seymour and a last second
win at Grandview Park Baptist.
Another team riddled with injuries, TC was led by Nick Watts,
who threw for 805 yards and
13 scores, while also leading
the team with an impressive
six interceptions. Watts also
ran for 369 yards and five
touchdowns. Senior wide out
Trenton Steinke was easily
Watts’ favorite target. Steinke
caught 29 balls for 12 touchdowns and 468 yards: an average of 16 per reception. Zach
Kitzman, another TC senior,
led the Trojans with 371 yards
on the ground and 77 tackles.
Ethan Bair, Tyler Lally, Kyle
Leer and Jacob Weber were
each monsters on TC’s defensive line. The four of them each
finished with between 56 and
60 tackles.
So that’s all she wrote for
fall sports in Keokuk County.
Basketball and wrestling is
very close on the horizon and
that’s something to be pumped
up for – I know I am.
This Savages’ duo - Sydney Davis (2) set up for
Jordan Carter (1) - was a staple this season.
English Valleys’ Abby Westhoff and Amelia
Koehn each placed in the top 30 at SICLs.

When Tanner McClenahan was little he would wake up at six in the
morning to run on the treadmill.
“I don’t remember what grade I was in, but in elementary school I’d
get up at six in the morning and watch TV while I ran on the treadmill,” Coe College junior and Keota alumni Tanner McClenahan
said. “My dad has always been a runner and I just liked to do
it,” he added. “I wouldn’t really say I was good at running, but
it always interested me and I had a lot of energy when I was a
kid. I never really took [running] seriously, though.”
Now for the first time in his life, Tanner has completely
invested himself in the art of running and is taking it seriously, to say the least, as a member of both Coe’s cross
country and track and field teams.
McClenahan originally attended Coe College for the
opportunity to play baseball. After failing to make the
team, Tanner began working out on his own and soon
built himself into excellent shape. Before he knew it,
McClenahan was garnering attention for Coe’s cross
country staff and second-year assistant Hannah Weiss,
who came to Tanner offering a chance to discuss joining
the team.
“I went to the cross-country meeting and met with
Coach (Ben) Mourer,” said McClenahan. “I was a little
skeptical because cross country was new to me. Two
miles used to be a long run for me, but they sent me a
packet for training and I ran all summer. Then I ran in
the team’s 3K time trial and did pretty good.”
“Within ten minutes of meeting with him, [Tanner]
agreed to do cross country,” Coe head coach Ben Mourer
said. “He was in the best shape of anyone this fall and
really surprised us by beating some of our returners in the
time trial before the season. He didn’t skip a mile all summer. He’s the hardest worker on our team and does exactly
what we want him to do.”
Tanner and the Kohawks wrapped up their 2013 season on
Saturday at the NCAA Regional Championships and finished in
21st out of 26 teams. Mourer and his Coe squad are in “rebuilding mode” and have just enough members to field a team; they did
just fine considering the circumstances.
“We’re lucky to have Tanner,” said Mourer, who first met him
when Tanner worked as a student janitor at the Eby Fieldhouse on
campus. “He was a huge addition and stepped up right away as our sixth
guy.” McClenahan finished in 172nd overall and sixth on his team Saturday
with a time of 31:09.
The road to becoming a collegiate runner took more work for Tanner than you may realize. Although
McClenahan has always been
a talented athlete, he has always had the build of a distance runner. He has dropped
twenty pounds since beginning workouts and has transformed his body to fit the role of distance running through mental toughness
and relentless work.
“I can’t imagine missing a practice or workout or not going as hard as I can at something,” McClenahan said. “I’ve always been that
way. I always try to do extra because I felt I had to or I’d fall behind.
“The coaches have been great about building [my conditioning] up,” he added. “I’ve been pretty surprised with my improvement. This
is the most supportive team I’ve ever been on and that makes a big difference.”
Tanner will be putting in extra effort in the next few months just like he’s been doing since the summer. On top of balancing the
academic workload of his Fitness Development major (strength & conditioning emphasis), McClenahan is already gearing up for the
track and field season, which starts next week for cross country members. Tanner is a middle-distance runner and plans on running
800s and maybe the mile this year in his first season on the Kohawk track and field squad.
Three years ago Tanner might not believe you if you told him he’d be running cross country and track in college. Along with baseball, a major reason McClenahan chose to attend Coe College was the music scholarship money he was offered for being a member of its
choir. Tanner still sings in the choir and also has a passion for making music, all while running ten miles a day and doing the academic
work necessary to one day become an athletic trainer.
Tanner is the definition of what a student-athlete is supposed to be, which in this day and age, isn’t as common as it should be.

• Beth Atwood, So.,
Pekin — After receiving vir-
tually no varsity playing time
as a freshman, Atwood stormed
onto the scene in impressive
fashion as a sophomore. Atwood
led the Panthers in numerous
statistic categories on the way
to an 11-10 season.
Her 111 kills in conference
play ranked second in the
North behind on IMS’s Olivia
Yutzy. Overall, Atwood averaged
2.9 kills per set while leading
the Panthers with 40 blocks.
Atwood also led the Panthers
with 184 digs and finished the
season second on the team with
22 aces.
Honorable Mention
• Jenna Swanson, Sr., Pekin
— Swanson, one of Pekin’s six
seniors, finished fifth on the
team in digs with 91. Swanson
was far and away Pekin’s top
server, going 132-for-136 with
11 aces. Her 97 percent serving
efficiency ranked fourth in the
