NUMBER 46, 153RD YEAR
Local Youth Learn
Appreciation for
Homelessness
To help junior and senior high school
students understand how it feels to be
homeless in Iowa on a cold November
night, Sigourney United Methodist Church
youth group leaders, Jaci Jarmes and Kelly
Mousel, are encouraging their youth group
members to build individual cardboard shelters and spend the night sleeping in them
on the church lawn on Saturday, Nov. 16.
A soup supper for the community is held
in conjunction with the group’s homeless
awareness “sleepout.”
This is the fifth year the youth group
has built cardboard shelters and spent the
night sleeping in them. Each year they’ve
learned to rely on their faith and each other
to get them through the cold night. Through
their experience they’ve strengthened their
personal relationships with Christ; they
strengthened their relationships with each
other, and they’ve learned about homelessness “first hand.”
While the members of the youth group
are building shelters on the west lawn of
the church, Sigourney UMC youth group
parents are sponsoring a soup supper in
the church dining room from 5-7 p.m. The
purpose of this meal is to increase the community’s awareness of homelessness in our
area and in the United States and to raise
funds for a local mission work (the Sigourney
Ministerial Alliance) and the youth group’s
2014 global mission trip. Items on the menu
include a variety of homemade soups, desserts and drinks. A free will offering is being
received.
Although homelessness may not appear
to be a significant problem in the Sigourney
area, the Ministerial Alliance has been
called on in recent years to assist several
different families with children to “get back
on their feet” after they arrived in town with
no place to stay and few possessions besides
what they could transport in their vehicle.
The Ministerial Alliance has also provided
temporary one-night lodging for those facing
a crisis situation and having no shelter.
As area residents make plans to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with their
families, the UMYF encourages members of
the community to take time to attend their
soup supper and to give generously to the
Sigourney Ministerial Alliance and the youth
group’s upcoming mission trip.
Landscapes of Art and Friendship
Iowa artist Grant Wood first
discovered the Amana Colonies
during visits in the mid 1920s.
He not only appreciated the
Amana scenery, but the craft
tradition and friendships he
found within the seven communal villages. Beginning in
1928, Wood became a friend
and mentor to Amana artist,
Carl Flick. He urged his Amana
friends, particularly Flick, to
appreciate their surroundings,
and to preserve the handcrafts
and simple architectural lines
he believed would be threatened
by the community’s transition
away from communal living in
1932.
Peter Hoehnle is an Amana
native and the author of the
Amana People: The History of
a Religious Community. He
received his Ph.D. from Iowa
State University in Agricultural
History and Rural Studies in
2003, and he is a highly regarded Iowa historian.
At the English Valleys
History Center, on Sunday, Nov.
17, at 2 p.m., Peter Hoehnle
is discussing Wood’s relationship with Amana, the artistic
awareness he nurtured in the
community, and, finally, the art
work he produced during his
visits, including the sketches
for his noted landscape, Young
Corn.
The EV History Center is
located at 108 N. Main Street
in North English, and all are
encouraged to attend this event
at no charge.

instrumental in organizing the
reunion for Webster residents
that is held at EXPO each year.
She has also been involved in
community choirs throughout
her life, starting with her high

Valleys when the “Messiah”
was performed each year at
Christmas time.
Wright graduated in 1969,
and later moved out of state,
until returning to this area
to work. Her brother, Kenny

money for her treatment, and to
show support for her as a community as she starts her fight
against cancer once again, by
having a potluck dinner. There
are also be door prizes that
night.
As a part of the entertainment evening, the “Messiah”
will be performed. The original
music score that was performed
at English Valleys over 40 years
ago has been discovered and
will be used for the performance. The poinsettias that
decorate the church are available after the performance for
a donation [see an organizer for
more details].

➥
If I am admitted to the hospital as a result of an emergency, how much will VA pay?
This depends on you VA eligibility. VA may pay all, some,
or none of the charged.
For service connected conditions, here are some of the
criteria that must be met:
1. Care of services were
provided in a medical emergency;
2. VA or another federal
facility were not feasibly available;
3. VA was notified within
72 hours of the admission.
4. Ask your local VA
Medical Center’s Non VA (Fee)
Care Office for further eligibility
guidance.
For non service connected
conditions, here are some
of the criteria that must be
met:
1. Veteran is enrolled in the
VA Health Care System;
2. Veteran has received
health care services from VA
within the previous 24 months;
3. Veteran has no other
health insurance coverage;
4. Ask your local VA
Medical Venter’s Non VA (Fee)
Care Office for further eligibility
guidance.
How do I know if I have a service connected condition?
A service connected condition refers to an illness or
injury that was incurred in
or aggravated by military service and has a rating assigned
by the Veterans Benefits
Administration.
How long do I have to file a
claim for reimbursement for
emergency medical care?
File you claim with the
nearest VA Medical Center
quickly because time limits
usually apply. For non service
connected care, the time limit
is 90 days. Again, consult you
local VA Medical Center for
more information.
Will VA pay for emergency
care received outside the
United States?
VA will only pay for emergency care outside the U.S.
if your emergency is related
to a service connected condition. For more information
about care provided outside
the U.S., contact the Foreign
Medical Program (FMP) at 877
345 8179, or go to the FMP
wedsite at www.va.gov/hac/
forbeneficiaries/fmp.
➥
At some time in your life, you
may need emergency care. This
explains what VA might be able
to do for you. When it is not
possible for you to go to a VA
Medical Center, you should go
to the nearest hospital that has
an emergency room. If you are
in an ambulance, the paramedics will usually take you to the
closest emergency room.
What is an emergency?
A medical emergency is
an injury or illness that is so
severe that without immediate
treatment, it threatens your life
or health.
How do I know my situation
is an emergency?
Your situation is an emergency if you believe your life or
health is in danger.
If I believe my life or health
is in danger, do I need to call
the VA before I call for an
ambulance or go to an emergency room?
No. Call 911 or go to the
nearest emergency room right
away.
When should I contact the VA
regarding an emergency room
visit?
You, your family, friends
or hospital staff should contact
the nearest VA medical center
as soon as possible, preferably within 72 hours of your
emergency, so you are better
aware of what services VA may
or my not cover. Provide VA
with information about your
emergency and what services
are being provided to you. Ask
VA for guidance on what emergency charges may or may not
be covered so you can plan
accordingly.
If the doctor wants to admit
me to the hospital, must I
obtain advance approval fro
the VA?
If the admission is an emergency, No, although prompt
notification of the VA is necessary.
If the admission is not an
emergency, Yes.
If a VA bed is available and
I can be safely transferred,
do I have to move to the VA
hospital?
Yes, if you want VA to continue to pay for your care. If
you refuse to be transferred,
VA will not pay for any further
care.

The City of Sigourney saw a total of 391 voters at the polls last Tuesday [Nov. 5]. This number reflects 27 percent of all registered voters
[as of Sept. 30] in the City of Sigourney, according to the Keokuk County Auditor’s office.
• The First Ward saw 82 voters for two At
Large contested races and a contested Mayoral
race.
• The Second Ward saw 97 voters for an
unopposed incumbent race, two At Large contested races and a contested Mayoral race.
• The Third Ward saw 94 voters for two At
Large contested races and a contested Mayoral
race.
• The Fourth Ward saw 118 voters for an
unopposed council member seat, two At Large
contested races and a contested Mayoral race.
• The remainder of votes were cast via absentee ballot.
While this number doesn’t set precedent, it is
considered a good voter turn out in a city general election.
Some Keokuk County communities saw a
fraction of their registered population at the
polls. The official results were released by the
Auditor’s office in the afternoon of Tuesday,

Fall Fitness
By Ashley Berg
On Tuesday, October 15,
Sigourney Junior Senior High School
took part in their second “Fall Fitness
Day”, a day where teachers and students dedicate the day to learning
about healthy eating, different forms
of exercise, and how to stay fit.
This year, afternoon sessions
included ATA Tae Kwon Do with
instructor Tamara Schuster, Jung’s
Tae Kwon Do with teacher Drew
Bahlmann, Bootcamp Madness with
Kimi Wood and Carlos Frias, an
information session with Mahaska
Health Partnership Dietician Lea
Rice, and a circuit workout with
Fountain Fitness trainer Heather
Jaeger. Everyone’s time and donation of resources and skills was
greatly appreciated in making Fall
Fitness possible!
Students and teachers also took
part in a scavenger hunt across town
during the first half of Thursday,
October 17 as part of Fall Fitness
Day. The scavenger hunt included
tasks for students to do at each
stop and putting puzzles together
as the clue to the next stop on the

Preston McNurlen
By Ashley Berg
This week I wanted to recognize an important member of our school: Preston McNurlen.
Preston is one of the special needs students in
Sigourney who is currently enrolled as an eighth
grader. I had the chance to ask primary caretaker, Sonia McNurlen, more about what Preston
does throughout the day.
First thing in the morning, Preston gets a question at 8:15 to wake him up, such as the day of
the week or his age. He attends physical education or art class during the morning, then English.
Afterwards, he has the choice of computer time
or listening to music on the radio. In the after-
noon, he sits in on English, math, social studies,
and science. Preston can not verbally communicate so much of his education is focused on
giving him the choice and turning things on and
off. He can consciously decide to continue music
playing.
Preston enjoys listening to the radio, and likes
being around people and listening to them talk.
Camping is one of his favorite things to do and
he likes going outside when it’s nice out. I asked
Sonia why she thinks it is important for Preston
to be enrolled in school. “I think it is important
for kids to be aware of him and understand more
about him. They are all very accepting of him.”

High school students Katie
Dillon, Jolie Erbacher, and Ashley
Berg are raising money throughout
the school year for an organization
called Mary’s Meals. Mary’s Meals
is a non-profit organization that
uses donations and money raised
by volunteers to feed children one
meal a day in their place of education. It costs $16.80 to feed a child

school and college years, naming the business Sellers Tree
Service. He consulted in landscaping, disease and insect control, and was a tree surgeon; he
also was a consultant, speaker,
and panel member at various
conferences regarding issues in
his chosen field. Harold became
a lineman and tree specialist for
Iowa Southern Utilities, a forester for Iowa Power and Light
Company, and a forester for Polk
County Conservation Board. He
was a former staff member of the
Iowa State Auditors’ Office and
Coordinator of the Iowa Pesticide
Department. He assisted the
Iowa Secretary of Agriculture
and eventually ran for Iowa
Secretary of Agriculture. He later
became President and CEO of Iliff
reading and family dinners. She
especially enjoyed her ministry of
sending cards for all occasions,
for encouragement and to share
God’s love with others.

personal and professional accomplishments, Harold’s greatest
achievement in life is the value of
family he taught to all his family.
No matter the situation, he successfully passed on, as the most
important of his heirlooms, his
advice, his wisdom, his sense of
humor, his heritage and his faith
in God, which all have benefited
from and continues to share with
future generations.

Pekin JH XC Excels at State
By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor
10-19-2013
The Pekin junior high cross country team
competed in the Junior High State Meet on
October 19th in Saydel and flexed its muscles for
the rest of the state to see.
Both the seventh-grade boys’ and girls’ teams
won the team championships, while the eighthgrade boys placed second and the eighth-grade
girls finished fourth.
Each of the four Pekin seventh-grade boys
placed in the top twenty on the way to the
team title. Pacing them in 11th place was
Tony Deutschle with a time of 15:11. Following
Deutschle in 13th with a time of 15:27 was Jacob
Weber. Blaze Muntz (17:27) and Tyler Reynolds
(18:37) finished 17th and 18th, respectively.
The
seventh grade girls
had an even
more impres-
sive showing, placing four Panthers in the top
ten. Leading the way with a fourth-place finish
was Zoey Wright with a time of 14:38. Kelly Myers
was just behind Wright in fifth place with her
time of 14:52. Hunter Lock earned another topten finish for a Pekin runner, coming in seventh
with a time of 15:03. In tenth place came Ayren
Essary with a mark of 15:08. Hollie Loper ran a
time of 15:21 and placed 11th, while Kameron
Fears finished at 17:10 in 19th place.
The eighth-grade girls brought home fourth
place in Saydel, with Hailey Bean running their
fastest time of 15:22, placing her in 13th. Jordyn
Earnest finished in 21st and ran a time of 16:12.
In 31st came Kodi Daley with a time of 17:19
and Mackenzie Manley ran an 18:35 and placed
36th.
Eighth-grade boy Sam Roth clocked in at
12:35 and helped the Panthers place second as
a team with his fourth-place finish. Finishing
in 21st for the eighth-grade boys with a time of
15:06 was Tyler Loyd. In 23rd
with a time of 15:28 was Simon
Bollinger, and Hunter Weinhold
placed 29th with a time of 16:32.
Alec Coleman finished in 32nd
with a time of 17:25.
The junior-high Panthers
proved that the future of Pekin
cross country will be just as
bright as the present.

Panthers’ Wild
Ride Ends at
Brooklyn
11-4-2013 • Pekin 27, Lisbon 6
11-8-2013 • Pekin 8, BGM 29
By Adam Meier, Regional Sports Editor
Last Monday the Panthers proved that they were one of
the best teams in Class A, but on Friday BGM proved that the
Panthers weren’t quite a State championship-level team.
The Pekin football team manhandled Lisbon in the second
round last Monday, 27-6, before falling at BGM on Friday, 29-8,
to end its season with a 9-3 record.
The Panthers blew out Lone Tree in the first round before
earning a rematch with Lisbon; the same team that knocked
them out of the 2012 playoffs.
Pekin set the tone early with – you guessed it – the running
game. Chase Copeland broke loose down the left side on a big
gainer to quickly get the Panthers deep into Lisbon territory.
Petie Clubb powered into the end zone a few plays later to give
Pekin an early 6-0 lead.
The stingy Pekin defense shut down quarterback Logan
Rickard and the rest of the Lisbon offense for most of the first
half, allowing the Panthers to increase its lead to double-digits.
A 20-yard catch and run by Body Long set the Panthers up
again deep inside Lisbon territory. This time, Chase Copeland
plunged into the end zone from three yards out for the score. A
successful two-point conversion made the Pekin lead 12-0.
Copeland ran for 169 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries.
Clubb found the end zone again later in the first half to give
the Panthers a 19-0 lead. Clubb ran 16 times for 122 yards and
two touchdowns.
Lisbon managed to get on the board late in the second quarter to make the score 19-6, but the Lions left Pekin enough time
to go back to work on offense. Quarterback Kolby Allsup and
the Pekin offense took advantage of every last second and the
Panthers soon found themselves inside Lisbon’s 30-yard line
with 20 seconds left in the half. On the next play Allsup tossed
a perfectly thrown ball down the left side. Single-covered Cade
Millikin timed his jump perfectly to bring down Allsup’s pass in
the corner of the end zone for the touchdown, giving the Panthers
a 25-6 lead. Allsup added the two-point conversion on a bootleg
run to make the score 27-6 at the half. Allsup ran for 49 yards
on the night.
Neither offense did much in the second half until the Pekin
offensive line started shoving around Lisbon again early in the
fourth. The Panthers ran the ball at will on the early fourthquarter drive until Copeland lost a fumble inside Lisbon’s five
yard line.
The Panthers got the ball back on Lisbon’s following drive via
a Keaton Winn interception. Winn, a sophomore safety, finished
with two interceptions and two tackles.
The Pekin defense held strong for the rest of the game to
close out the Lions by a count of 27-6.
Tanner Adam led the team with 11 tackles while Clubb added
ten, including three for loss. Jared Bond finished with nine tackles, including two for loss. Cole Reighard added seven tackles
and Colton Lanman recorded six.
All in all, the Pekin defense held Lisbon to just 235 total yards
after the Lions had been averaging over 43 points per game.
With second-ranked BGM on the horizon in the State
Quarterfinals, the Panthers didn’t have much time to bask in the
glory of their big win. Pekin got three days to prepare for a BGM
team that beat the Panthers 19-7 just two weeks earlier.
Early in the big matchup in Brooklyn on Friday the two
teams looked like even sides. However, a pair of bad breaks
quickly gave the Bears a 9-0 lead. After coming up with a stop to
force a BGM punt, the Panthers took over inside BGM’s one-yard
line. Pekin ran a quick handoff to Copeland but the elite BGM
defensive line and linebacker core got enough penetration to
bring him down in the end zone for a safety. BGM running back
Jack Kline ran for a touchdown on its following possession. Kline
ran for 206 yards and four touchdowns on 42 carries.
BGM increased its lead to 16-0 with another short Kline
touchdown in the second quarter, but the Panthers amped up
their game to get back into it.
The Pekin offensive line started to do work against the Bears,
opening holes for Clubb, Copeland and eventually Allsup. Allsup
got his team on the scoreboard in the second quarter when he
found the end zone after making a tackler miss on an impressive
designed run. The Panthers then got to within 16-8 with the twopoint conversion on a beautifully designed bootleg and pass to a
wide open Cade Millikin.
BGM found the end zone again late in the second quarter to
extend its lead to 23-8 at the half.
With winds consistently gusting into the 20-to-30 mile per
hour range, neither team was able to produce much offense
through the air, making a comeback extremely difficult for
Pekin.
The teams traded a pair of turnovers in the third quarter,
but neither led to points. With the wind negating Pekin’s passing
game, the BGM linebackers flew to the ball all night long. Senior
All-State linebackers Kyle Gritsch and Adam Hawkins combined
for 25 tackles, including six for loss and a sack, while Thompson
intercepted Allsup in the fourth quarter. The strong athletic BGM
linebackers consistently outran Copeland and Clubb’s blockers
to make the play and limit Pekin’s running game.
The Bears added another touchdown in the fourth quarter to
make the score 29-8 and end the Panthers’ excellent season just
one game short of the Dome.
The Panthers will have some rebuilding to do before the
2014 season. They need to find replacements all over the field
and groom Trever Northup into a dependable quarterback. Eight
seniors will be gone from this year’s team in 2014 and the younger Panthers will need to grow into their roles to replace them.
As for this season; a trip to the state quarterfinals and consistent ranking as one of Class A’s top ten teams is anything
from a failure. Incredible season, Panthers!
Clockwise: 1) Kolby Allsup drove for the pylon for Pekin’s
only touchdown at BGM. 2) Cade Millikin made this great TD
catch right before the half at Lisbon. 3) Petie Clubb got the
corner on this second-half run at Brooklyn. 4) Body Long
couldn’t quite catch up to this pass in the second quarter at
Lisbon. Center: Jared Bond put pressure on the quarterback
as ball released in Lisbon [photos by Adam Meier].
