Hedrick debates
animal shelter
By Michael Hohenbrink
News Editor
The City of Hedrick will continue to see the presence of a
shelter for animals while council
looks at how to address resident
concerns over noise and animals
potentially getting loose.
“I’m not against the idea of it,” said
Council Member Jeremy Greiner.
“I’m against the location of it.”
Meeting Monday, council
heard concerns from residents
about the shelter.
Aimee Crow opted not to speak
about the operation on what she
said were instructions from her
lawyer.
“I’ve been instructed not to
speak at all,” said Crow.
Residents of the city voiced
concern over the operation.
“It’s a good thing she’s doing,”
said Daryl Dehne. “It’s just the
wrong location.”
One issue raised was zoning, particularly with regard to
whether the shelter constitutes
a “business” in terms of zoning
requirements.
Council Member Kathryn
Cernic expressed concern over
liability for the city.
“You are opening the city to a liability suit big time,” said Cernic.
Cernic voiced concern over
targeting a single individual with
an ordinance.
Council took no action Monday.
In a separate matter, council
heard about a dog getting loose
in the area of the corner of 5th
and Young.
“We had a dog incident Saturday,” said Mayor Robert Crawford.
With the incident, Crawford
argued that the situation needed
to be addressed.
“I consider it a vicious dog, and
it needs to be taken out of town,”
said Crawford.
After the meeting, the mayor
noted previous correspondence
sent to the animal’s owner.
Regarding the issues of both
the animal shelter and the separate dog incident, Crawford
expressed interest in holding a
special session of city council
before next month’s meeting to
take care of both issues sooner
than the normal meeting schedule would allow.

Presidential race comes to Sigourney
News Editor
A visit by GOP presidential hopeful Gov. Bobby Jindal saw the contender hit hard at the GOP’s frontrunner, Donald Trump, as well as
stressing points ranging from the
governor’s budget experience to his
pro-life views.
Meanwhile, a second GOP hopeful
is in the works to visit the area as Sen.
Ted Cruz looks set to appear locally.
Jindal’s stop at the Haines farm in
rural Sigourney saw the candidate
working to distinguish himself, particularly on his experience on the
budgetary front.
With experience on the state level
as a governor, Jindal said he had actual experience in tackling the issue.
Jindal also came out swinging at
President Barack Obama, saying
the president had done a number of
things, which were problematic.
“That’s a pretty long list,” said Jindal.
Still, one issue stood out for Jindal.
“You can undo taxes and regulations,” said Jindal.
Rather, another issue was more
central for Jindal.
“They’re trying to redefine the
very idea of America,” said Jindal.
For Jindal, this plays out in the following way.
“All of us think the American
dream is to have the government
take care of you,” said Jindal.

Keokuk County’s portion of shared
multi-county costs for involuntary
committals is drawing concern from
Keokuk County’s Board of Supervisors.
At issue is an hourly cost that works
out to be around $2,100 per hour.
For Keokuk County, the current
system works out to a bill of just under $4,000. Yet, the county has utilized only 1.75 hours of service.
Supervisors expressed concern at
that cost per use ratio.
When neighboring counties have
more involuntary committals, their
rate per hour works out to more
manageable figures. Total money
paid doesn’t change, but the economy of scale appears more favorable.
The current system is new, formed
after responsibility for paying for the
service shifted from judicial to county shoulders.
At present, multiple counties in the
area are sharing the cost with individual counties paying differing totals for the service.
So far, Keokuk County has not
seen much use of the service, though
numbers might shift.
“Maybe it evens out over time,”
said Supervisor Daryl Howard.
For Supervisor Michael Hadley,
the current system has some merit.
“You can budget a cap,” said Hadley.
Supervisors discussed the issue but
did not take any action.
In other business, supervisors
heard from Keokuk County Engineer Andrew McGuire that a number of road projects were making
progress.
Favorable weather well into the fall
would be beneficial for the success of
county projects. McGuire noted he
has seen good weather up to Christmas and beyond. That would be a
boon for the county.

Peggy Winn of Ollie was recently named the 2015 Volunteer of the
Year for Mahaska Health Partnership
Hospice Services in Keokuk County.
According to MHP Hospice Volunteer Coordinator Lisa McNulty,
the award was presented by the Hospice & Palliative Care Association of
Iowa. Winn has been a faithful hospice volunteer since 2013.
“Peggy started volunteering at the
Serenity House in Oskaloosa, and
then took our patient care training
course,” explained McNulty. “She
currently volunteers weekly at the
Hospice Serenity House, which is an
80-mile round trip! In addition, she
takes on patient care assignments,
visiting patients in their homes or in
other care facilities.”
McNulty said that in the two years
she has been a patient care volunteer,
she has not declined a patient care
assignment. It doesn’t matter who

Serenity House staff, patients and
family members alike often comment on Peggy’s special gift as a volunteer.
“She comes every week with a twinkle in her eye and an ornery giggle;
getting right to work doing whatever
needs to be done,” McNulty shared.
“If her shift at the Serenity House
happens to get cancelled, she sends
messages with sad faces and says she

McNulty said that hospice volunteers are always needed for a variety

Dorothy Schimmelpfennig Thomas, 97, passed away on Sept. 28, 2015, in
Sigourney, after a long and wonderful life. She had been living at the Sigourney Care Center for the past few years.
Dorothy was born on Feb. 19, 1918, in Iowa City, the only child of Edith
Conklin. As a child, Dorothy lived
in Detroit, Mich. and several towns
in and around Keokuk County. She
graduated from North English High

On Nov. 26, 1939, she married

him manage the Schimmpfennig

J.D. and Robert. In 1959, they moved
to Kankakee, Ill., where Dorothy
worked for General Foods until her
retirement. After retirement in 1973,
Dorothy and Vernie moved back to
Sigourney but traveled extensively,

death, Dorothy entered Iowa Wesleyan University and traveled to the Holy Land as part of her course on Religions
of the World. Around this time, she also joined the Toastmaster’s Club. In
1984, Dorothy married Bill Thomas, a former high school classmate, and was
with him until his death seven years later.
Dorothy has been very active in the community. She worked with Hospice, was on the Foster Care Board, worked with For Kids Sakes, the Blood
Bank and served on the Arts Council, as well as participating in several of
their plays. She was a member of P.E.O., the Red Hats Organization and the
Farm Bureau, where she was a member of the beloved Kitchen Band for many
years. In 2006 she was selected Co-grand Marshall of the Fourth of July Parade and in 2007 received the Governor’s Award for Volunteerism. Dorothy
was also a great baker and shared her cakes and cookies with many friends.

Cobra Club receives MidWestOne donation
By Hailey Brown
Regional Editor
The weight room at Sigourney
High School has been the center of
fundraising efforts for some time
and those efforts are starting to pay
off.
Last week Sigourney MidWestOne
Assistant Manager Jodi Greiner delivered the first of two $2,500 installments to the Cobra Club.
“Their donation helped pave the
way toward our $12,000 goal this
year which we did meet,” said Klynt
Weber, Assistant Head Football/ Assistant Head Boys Track Coach.
The club has been fundraising to
improve their current weight room
equipment, which needs some updating.
“A proper weight room will create a
safer environment that will help the
students become better athletes,” said
Sigourney MidWestOne Second Vice
President Jeff Johnson. “It will help
the students perform better resulting
in more successful teams; building
self-esteem and pride in the school.”
Johnson says private donations to
the school, like the ones MidWestOne Bank is providing, also allow
more tax dollars to go towards education.
Weber says the donations provided
by community members and businesses will have a significant impact
on student-athletes, but they are still
working towards a higher goal to
make upgrades.
“MidwestOne’s donation will impact our student-athletes by fur-

more of the, shall we say, pragmatic,
in my approach to coffee.
Is it 1.) hot, 2.) less than a day old
(and I’m negotiable on this point)
and 3.) not decaffeinated?
If it meets these criteria, it’s good
enough for me.
Really, age is not a problem.
If wine can improve over time,
why is coffee necessarily “bad” just
because it has aged?
That’s a reassuring idea as I myself
find my age creeping up there.
And unlike Mr. Benny, I’ve opted
not to keep insisting I’m still “39.”

From the Cheap Seats
Some tourist stops hold surprises
I’ve written about my fascination
with bald eagles several times over
the past few years. It began with a
trip to Guttenberg about a decade
ago and hasn’t waned much since.
It certainly doesn’t hurt that we’re in
the heart of bald eagle country and
that it’s not all that unusual to see
them here in Grundy County.
As Lynnette and I were traveling
up the Mississippi River a couple of
weeks ago, one thing she suggested
was stopping at the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, Minn. She’d
heard good things about the center
(her dad likes eagles as much as I do)
and thought I would enjoy it.
This is one of those times when my
skepticism about tourist traps almost
got the best of me. I’d been to socalled eagle centers before and had
usually found one or possibly two
caged birds along with some information on their migration and maybe what had drawn them to the area.
And, let’s face it, most things located
along or just off a highway are there
for one reason ... to make money for
their owners.
Lynnette wanted to stop, and a
quick glance at reviews of the place
online were positive, so I agreed that
this might be fun. That said, I confess
to having pretty low expectations.
Those expectations didn’t increase
when we drove up to a building and
they charged several dollars to get in.
I feared we were paying for something we could get through in maybe
15 minutes. Boy was I wrong.
We lucked into stopping as one
of the presentations about eagles

was only starting. The presenter
was fun, passionate and sounded
like she knew what she was talking
about. After maybe 10 minutes she
brought in the start of the show, a
14-year-old female bald eagle named
Columbia who had been brought to
the center after being hit by a car. A
broken wing meant Columbia could
not survive in the wild, meaning that
the Eagle Center would be her home.
As the presenter talked, Columbia
watched intently ... sometimes interacting with her handler and certainly
eying the strangers who were as fascinated by her as she was of them.
The presenter had warned us of
what Columbia might do if she got
a little uneasy, and lucky for us she
did. That meant a show of her wings
and even an escape attempt. It actually made for great theater and even
better photo opportunities.
The presentation itself made me
feel a lot easier about the admission
cost. I’d seen an eagle as closely as
I ever had before, had gotten a few
special pictures ... and that wasn’t
even the highlight. After the show,
they directed us into the eagle room.
There, sitting on their perches, were
not just Columbia, but three other
beautiful birds. All that separated
the public from the birds was a, may-

“Coffee’s made,” a coworker announced.
What musical words.
On a Tuesday, as the pages are
being laid out, coffee is a welcome
friend.
Staring at pages, straining to catch
an errant comma, while looking at
pages shrunken down for printing
out, might be enough to make anyone bleary-eyed.
Having spent years grading student essays and additional years
poring over copy editing work, it’s
difficult to “let go” and let an error
slip by and make it into print.
To fuel such effort, though, takes a
bit of the black stuff.

be, an 18-inch open barrier. Calling
it a fence would be a misnomer, as
we could have very simply stepped
over it into the eagles’ environment.
There was no cage, no mesh ... just an
open look at four eagles (three bald
eagles and one golden eagle) who
were pretty much oblivious to the
public. Lynnette said I looked like a
kid on Christmas morning when I
saw them. I was in absolute awe!
One of the things that shocked me
about the Eagle Center was its photography policy. I’ve been to a lot of
places that won’t allow flash photography or, occasionally, photography
at all for fear of it distracting the
wildlife. Not here. Their policy was
basically “have at it.” We could take
all the photos we wanted, they let us
use flash and we could get as close
as we wanted (within reason). There
was no need for special equipment ...
a cell phone camera would take great
pictures here.
After maybe 10 minutes in the eagle room we explored the rest of the
center. It was pretty much what you
would expect. My mind, though, was
on returning to the eagle room when
there weren’t as many people there. I
had my mind on a cool picture with
just Lynnette and maybe myself with
the eagles. It was also fun to talk to
the on-duty naturalist.
I’ll still take watching eagles in the
wild over seeing them in a setting
like this, but I must confess that this
place was way cool and someplace
I’ll certainly visit again if I’m ever in
the area.

I’ll live with some “vintage” coffee.
Perhaps some day, in the not too
distant future, we may become coffee snobs, with professionals evaluating how well coffee “ages.”
With wine, you have professional
sommeliers, experts with experience, training and education. They
may spend years learning their craft.
Such experts, at least at the finer
restaurants, can be on hand to help
guests correctly pair their dinners
with just the right wine.

Just Reminiscing
Organizations helped the community
By Hilda Sauer
Columnist
The other day I got to thinking
about the different activities and/
or organizations I’d been involved
in…as a member or to enjoy doing. One was the CWF (Christian Woman’s Fellowship) in our
church…although we no longer
have meetings.
In thinking of this I remembered
finding a paper about the CWF
history in regard to our church, the
Delta Christian (Disciple) Church.
In reading it, I found I’d done this
history in 1989 when it was the 35th
anniversary. It was in January 1954
that the Delta CWF was organized;
prior to this, the church women
did missionary work and had other
names or titles for their work.
For many years it was known
as CWBM or technically Christian Women’s Board of Missions.
In 1916, the membership was 59
as every lady in the church was a
member. Mrs. Nellis Dunn was
president for many years or about
twenty. In the 1930s, the name
CWBM was changed to Women’s
Missionary Society. Then later it
merged with the Ladies Aid and
was then known as CWF or Christian Women’s Fellowship.
According to some notes I found,
Miss Helen Gilbert, state CWF secretary, was a guest at a special CWF
meeting with 34 present. Other
CWF records show that group
sponsored such events as flower
shows, serving the local alumni
banquet, sharing with ladies of the
local Methodist Church, World
Day of Prayer, collecting in observance of World Community Day,
serving fall suppers, and Junior-Senior banquets, Christmas treats for
elderly of the community, etc.
Through the years and until there
were less ladies, the CWF continued monthly meetings until more
recent years and less ladies in the
church and also some having daytime employment. However, many
“ladies of the Church” continue to
share in some of the events of the
local Methodist church as well as
when needed for some local activities, e.g. blood drives, bereaved
families and when needed by the
church for special purposes.

If coffee gets its just desserts, and
is recognized as is wine, we might
see it more respected in the not-toodistant future.
I can picture a trained expert, uncorking old coffee, sniffing it and
swishing it around.
“Ah, a fine vintage,” he might say.
“Brooklyn, 1992.”
It could happen.
Or not.
If I do really start imbibing coffee
that old, then it could be fair to say I
have crossed the line.
When, and if, I ever reach the stage
when I’m taking my coffee intravenously, then it will well and truly be
time to quit.
Until then, my coffee addiction
can remain my quasi vice.

Case remains a mystery
Marshalltown woman’s body found in Tama County in 1973
JOHN SPEER
Toledo-Tama News
Halloween day, Oct. 31, 1973, was typical of many in
late fall in Iowa — cold, overcast and threatening rain.
But it also included the discovery of the body of Helen Mae Bown, 61, of Marshalltown, on the bank of the
Iowa River northwest of Montour in Tama County. Her
body was found that day by Iowa Division of Criminal
Investigation agents. Bown, a widow, had been reported
missing to Marshalltown Police on Oct. 7.
The cause of Bown’s death was listed as drowning but
the circumstances never revealed.
Those on the scene of the discovery in 1973 included
Tama and Marshall county sheriff’s ofcers, Marshalltown police, agents of the then-named Iowa Bureau of
Criminal Investigation, Tama County Medical Examiner
Dr. C.W. Maplethorpe, as was Tama County Attorney
Jared Bauch.
Bauch said recently in an email response for this article: “I remember the case and the scene. Ms. Bown had
been in the water several days. As I recall there was an
idea that she had been drinking quite a bit at the time she
disappeared and her companions were rough customers.
The DCI was on the case from the outset. I think we concluded she got in the Iowa River near Marshalltown and
that it was likely a Marshall County case.
“Her appearance in Tama County was probably due to
the vagaries of the Iowa River currents. We had nothing
to tie her to a Tama County location at the time of her
death. We did consider hers to be a suspicious death.”
And it was suspicious to Marshall County authorities.
Then-Marshall County Attorney Ron Kaiser convened a
grand jury on Nov. 7, 1973, according to a news report
in the Marshalltown Times-Republican. He told the T-R
the reason for impaneling the grand jury “was to present
evidence that has been uncovered.”
However, no indictment was handed down and the
newspaper report said Kaiser “would not comment” on
whether he thought “foul play may have taken place or
the nature of the evidence.”
The state medical examiner had ruled the death due to
“probable drowning.”
Over the years no one was ever arrested nor the case of her death ever ofcially
closed.
Recently, current Marshalltown Police
Chief Mike Tupper reviewed the Bown case
le which he termed “interesting to read.
“I believe it is one of those cases which
could be resolved with a piece of information here and a piece of information there,”
he said.
Some details of the investigation are not
public because the case does remain technically active, Tupper said, admitting “I asked
around some of long-tenured police department employees and they were completely
unfamiliar (with it.)”
Tupper lled in some details not initially
reported, however.
Bown was reported missing by a visiting county health
nurse who apparently had been caring for Bown at the
time. County health nurses then and now often call upon
patients who are in their own homes.
In response to rumors which reportedly circulated in
Marshalltown taverns at the time, Tupper said, “From
Keokuk County Art & Craft Fair
The NexT SADC MoNThly FAir iS
Saturday, Oct. 10 - 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
some of the details it does look like ofcers did investigate multiple possibilities and did review comments
people made.”
He said he was uncertain why the then-termed Iowa
Bureau of Criminal Investigation (now Iowa Division
of Criminal Investigation) was called into the case. But
he said protocol then may have been similar to today:
“What we would now do.”
Current Marshall County Attorney Jennifer Miller replied to an information request: “My ofce doesn’t have
any records or information on this case ... so sorry!” Helen Bown’s obituary in the Nov. 7, 1973 T-R said her husband, William, had died in 1972. The couple had always
lived in Marshalltown.
Tama County Sheriff Dennis Kucera and Deputy
Bruce Rhoads both said they have no direct knowledge
of the case as neither were serving with the sheriff’s ofce then.
A native of Red Cloud, Neb., Bown had married her
second husband, William, in 1964. She had previously
married Orville Berger in 1926 when she was 14 years
old. They had two sons.
Bown was buried in Riverside Cemetery in Marshalltown.
The website - iowacoldcases.org - includes this information about the case:
In a Des Moines Register article dated Nov. 2, 1973,
one ofcial not directly connected with the case said the
manner in which the investigation was being handled
would lead one to believe “the Watergate tapes or the
atomic bomb secrets” were involved.
Additionally, the paper also reported that “no one in an
ofcial capacity would say why the search for the woman was concentrated in the area northeast of Le Grand.”
The Bown case was the second time in which a Marshalltown woman’s body would be discovered in Tama
County. Earlier that year, the body of Rochelle Lass,
Marshalltown, was found on a rural Tama County road
north of Montour on Feb. 22, 1973.
That case was solved with the arrest and subsequent
conviction of her husband, Dennis Lass, for rst-degree
murder.
Lass, who had been employed as an insurance adjuster, died in prison in April of 2014 at age 73, while serving
a life term.
The couple had lived in Toledo for a period of time
before moving to Marshalltown.

EV offense explodes in Homecoming loss
By Adam Meier
Meskwaki Settlement 82
English Valleys 48
82 points is a heck of a lot of points
no matter what way you slice it.
However, take three of Meskwaki’s
touchdowns away, and you’ve got
a shot (at least) at English Valleys
making a game of it.
The Meskwaki Warriors returned
two kickoffs for touchdowns and
took back an interception for a score,
in addition to two other interceptions, in their 82-48 win over the
Bears in North English on Friday on
Homecoming Night.
Despite EV’s offense putting together its best performance of the
season, Meskwaki’s three non-offensive touchdowns made it impossible
for the Bears to close the gap.
EV trailed by four touchdowns at
the half, before coming out firing on
all cylinders in the second half.

the stretch, but Meskwaki’s Terrell
Grant and Kade Brown did more
than enough to propel the Warriors
to their third win.
Grant ran for four touchdowns and
230 yards on just 13 carries, while
Brown rushed for four touchdowns
himself, and gain 107 yards on ten
carries.
For the Bears, Coppinger caught
nine passes for 102 yards and three
scores, and added 38 yards and one
score on the ground. The senior
now has 295 receiving yards and five
touchdowns, on 25 catches.
Quarterback Andrew Kerkove finished with 139 yards rushing and
two touchdowns on 30 carries, along
with going 15-for-30 through the air,
for 186 yards.
EV’s Jeff Montgomery added 48
yards on the ground, and Wyatt Olson finished with three catches for
58 yards. Ambrose Coffman added a
13-yard reception in the game.
The Bears will host HLV, who lost
last week to Don Bosco, 56-8, on Friday, Oct. 9.

SK exhales, executes, emerges
By Adam Meier
Sigourney-Keota 48
Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont 6
Each of Sigourney-Keota’s first five
opponents were ranked at the time
they played the Cobras. Finally, at
what marked the start of the second
half of the regular season, coach Jared Jensen’s team got the ‘luxury’ of
matching up with an unranked opponent – the first of what appears to
be four in a row.
With the brutal stretch of the
schedule now in the rear-view mirror, the SK football team took a brief
moment to exhale, before turning its attention to a one-win Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont team.
Any frustrations fostered by the
Cobras after their five-week trek
through ‘murderer’s row’ were taken out on the Rockets on Friday.
Brilliant execution for four quarters
helped SK leave no doubt, as the
Cobras dismantled EBF on Homecoming night by a score of 48-6, and
emerged as a power in the district.
At 2-1 in district play, Sigour-
ney-Keota sits in second with Pella
Christian, behind 4-0 Regina. No
other district team has more than
one district win.
Scoring six total touchdowns, including five in the first half, was SK
senior and Homecoming King Peyton Crawford. Included in Crawford’s four first-half rushing touchdowns were runs of 60, 57 and 46
yards, along with his 43-yard reception from quarterback Luke Greiner.
The senior’s monster first half
helped the Cobras jump out to a decisive 35-0 halftime lead.
EBF finally got on the board midway through the third quarter on a
short touchdown run, but touchdown runs by both Peyton and Carson Crawford put the game out of
reach for good.
All in all, Peyton ran for 265 yards
on just 14 carries – an average of almost 19 yards per attempt. For the
season, Crawford’s 1010 rushing
yards rank fourth in all of Class 1A.
Junior Jacob Wickenkamp continued his stellar play, running for 63
yards on just ten carries, while Luke
Greiner rushed for 40 yards on six
tries.
While at first glance the story of
Friday night appears to be the dominance of the SK offense, the Cobras’
defense was even more dominant.
The Cobras allowed just 84 total
yards on the night and held EBF to
4-for-15 on third-down attempts.
Senior linebacker Lane Boender,
A winless Cardinal Comet team
was no match for the Pekin Panthers
on Friday night, as Pekin cruised to
its fifth win of the season by a score
of 50-0.
The win kept Pekin tied for first
in the district with unbeaten Winfield-Mt. Union at 4-0, prior to the
Panthers’ big showdown with 3-1
Lone Tree this week. Lone Tree fell
to Winfield-Mt. Union by a score of
30-20 in the last week of September.
For the second straight week the
Pekin defense was absolutely stifling,
shutting out Cardinal and holding
the Comets to just 91 total yards and
five first downs.
The Panthers have outscored their
last two opponents 107-0.
A scoreless first quarter quickly
gave way to four Pekin touchdowns
in the second period, including two
by running back Chase Copeland.
Copeland had a relatively lite workload on Friday, running 11 times for
53 yards.
A short touchdown run by Hunter
Conger, along with a 14-yard fumble
returned for a touchdown by Ryan
Swanson, propelled Pekin to a 26-0
Tribulations continue for Trojan Football
By Adam Meier
Dunkerton 57, Tri-County 6
Coming into last Friday’s home
game with the Trojans, the Dunkerton Raiders were carrying an 0-6
mark, putting coach Scott Edmundson’s Tri-County team in the warpath of an inspired Dunkerton contingent.
With Tri-County circled with an
orange highlighter on the Dunkerton schedule, the Raiders came out
and played their best game of the
season, disposing the Trojans by a
score of 57-6.
The result left both teams sitting at
1-6 for the season.
An efficient offensive attack by the
Raiders overmatch Tri-County in the
game, as Dunkerton’s Nic Fettkether
and Jackson Hoeft each rushed for
over 100 yards. Meanwhile, quarterback Alex Stumme completed all
three of his pass attempts, totally 102
yards through the air.
Tri-County managed to compile
one of its better offensive showings
of the season, despite the lopsided
final score.

the team’s leading tackler with 50 on

two for loss. Defensive back Avery
Moore added two tackles for loss and
six total in SK’s controlling victory.
The team now takes a trip to Highland (3-3, 1-3) on Friday, before
hosting Columbus (2-4, 1-2) the following week, in SK’s regular-season
home finale. The Cobras wrap up
their regular season at West Marshall
(2-4, 1-2).
You can listen to the games on
KIIC Radio, 96.7 FM.
Thomas ran for an impressive 123
yards and a score in the game, bringing his season total to 518 yards
and seven touchdowns. As a junior,
Thomas rushed for 166 yards and
three touchdowns.
Walter McKay added 40 yards
rushing on nine carries.
The Tri-County passing offense
also came through with a good
showing, as both Lane Williams and
Austin Purdy each completed two
passes. Thomas led the way with two
catches for 17 yards, while Williams
caught one ball for 11 yards and
sophomore Hunter Kappel added a
one-yard reception.
Defensively, junior Clay Harper
was the man of the game for the Trojans, leading the team with 9.5 tackles, including two for loss. Senior
Luke Bombei, the team’s leader in
tackles (86.5), finished with 8.5, including one for loss, on Friday. Austin Purdy added seven tackles, Dylan
Seaton added 2.5 and Zach Bolinger
finished with one.
The Trojans play at Meskwaki Settlement on Friday, before ending
their regular season at Don Bosco
two weeks later, on Oct. 23.

Pekin’s aerial assault came alive
right away in the second half, with
the Panthers scoring on a 21-yard reception by Brady Donovan, and a 33yard reception from Keaton Winn,
to give them a 40-0 lead.
Donovan led Pekin with four
catches for 65 yards, helping quarterback Trever Northup finish 10for-13 for 130 yards and two scores.
The ever-efficient Northup is averaging 21 yards per completion this
year as a junior; he’s 33-for-44 for
701 yards, ten touchdowns and no
interceptions.
Fellow junior Tyler Copeland, who
rushed for 72 yard on eight carries,
added a 30-yard touchdown run in
the fourth for good measure.
The Panthers forced five turnovers on the night and were led in
tackles by Connor Reed and Kaden

Solid stretch persists for Savage VB
By Adam Meier
As a reward for winning back-toback conference matches, against
BGM and Tri-County, the Sigourney
varsity volleyball team was graced
with a visit from the SICL-leading
Iowa Valley Tigers last Monday.
Although the Savages wound up
getting swept in three sets by the
Tigers (18-6, 8-0), coach Chris Carter’s team was able to build off of
the positives it saw during play in
Mid-Prairie’s tournament just two
days prior.
The Savages came out with great
defensive poise and a patient offensive approach. Sigourney’s high-effort play led to a rattled Iowa Valley
team that just couldn’t finish off the
Savages, time after time. Eventually,
though, the Tigers pushed passed
Sigourney to win the first set, 25-20.
Sigourney continued its inspired
play in the second and third sets
against 18-win Iowa Valley, but simply wasn’t able to generate enough
firepower on offense. Iowa Valley
took the second set, 25-15, before
winning the third, 25-16.
Sophomore Brooke Waechter finished with an impressive 22-digs,
while Stacy Mohr registered eight
digs and went 12-for-12 on serves.
Autum Barthelman also went a
perfect 12-for-12 on serves, and finished with three aces and three kills.
Leah Carter came in with 16 assists,
ten digs and four kills on the night,
and Allison Schroeder pitched in
nine digs. Sierra Davis, who sits at
third in the SICL in kills per set, recorded nine kills and nine digs on

the night, while freshman Sloane
Magill pitched in two kills.
The Tigers finished the match
with nine blocks and went 73-for75 on serves. Meanwhile, Sigourney
finished 51-for-52 on serve attempts.
Sigourney got back on track the
next night, at English Valleys, with a
three-set win over the Bears: 25-13,
25-11, 25-19.
Davis led the attack with a teamhigh 12 kills, with Anna Ohland
adding seven and Barthelman finishing with five. Senior Montana

On Monday, Oct. 5, Sigourney
kept up its excellent play, beating
Keota in three-straight sets and
marking the third time this season
that the team has won back-to-back
matches.
The Eagles made them work for
every single point, but the hitters for
the Savages were too much for Keota to handle, as Sigourney won all
Saturday’s tournament at New
London gave the English Valleys
varsity volleyball team a tour of the
eastern-most part of the state and a
glimpse of a potential second-round
Regional opponent.
The Bears began their tournament
with a match against an excellent
New London team, which is ranked
11th in Class 1A. New London sent
EV to a quick defeat, winning the
first set 21-8 and the second set 21-4.
The chins of the EV Bears didn’t
stay down, though, with a match
against winless Louisa-Muscatine
looming right around the corner.
Unwilling to represent the first
win of the season for L-M, English
Valleys came out aggressive, continuously feeding hitters Audrey Grove
and Sydney Olson.
Grove and Olson combined for
28 kill attempts in the match, with
Grove registering six kills and Olson tallying two. Two kills each by
Grace Andreassen and Sam Stewart
supplemented the EV offense just
enough, helping the Bears clinch
their third win of the season: 21-13,
21-14.
Grove added a team-high eight
digs to the effort for the Bears.
Meanwhile, senior setter Claire Kingland finished with eight assists and
six digs.
The Bears wrapped up their tournament with a two-set loss to po-
three sets: 25-15, 25-19, 25-20.
The win over Keota improved the
Savages’ record to 6-10, including
4-4 in SICL play. Sigourney has now
won four of its last five conference
matches, after losing its first three.
The Savages play at Lynnville-Sully on Friday, Oct. 9, before
playing at Washington on Saturday
and hosting Montezuma on Monday, Oct. 12.

Pekin remains
one back of Mepo
By Adam Meier
Conference wins last week
against Louisa-Muscatine and
Lone Tree kept the Pekin varsity
volleyball team within a game of
SEISC North-leading Mediapolis.
Mediapolis, who knocked off
the Panthers on September 10, is
sitting at 7-0 in conference play,
with matches against Highland
and IMS remaining. Meanwhile,
Pekin holds a conference mark of
5-1 and, following this Tuesday’s
match at WACO, has contests remaining with Wapello and Columbus.
After blowing past Louisa-Muscatine last Tuesday, Pekin returned
home for a game with a solid Lone
Tree team two nights later.
The Panthers topped the Lions,
25-15, in the first set, before losing 25-20 in the second set. That’s
when Pekin stopped messing
around.
Coach Ashley Bartels’ team
topped the Lions in the next two
sets, 25-11 and 25-13, to take the
win and improve to 18-5 overall.
Twenty kills by Beth Atwood,
ten by Cassidy Tolle and eight by
Maci Gambell led the way for the
Pekin offense, as setter Courtney
Comstock ended her night with 30
assists.
The Panthers host Wapello on
Thursday, Oct. 8, in their final
home match of the regular season, before playing at Columbus
next Tuesday. The team will host
Van Buren on Tuesday, Oct. 20, at
7 pm, in its first-round Regional
match. The winner will play Cardinal, in Eldon, on October 27.
