Mr. Denny Phelps, the new superintendent, is a big advocate for this tradition, something he did when he was at Tri-County as principal starting in 2005. “We live in a country where we have choices - the greatest freedom we have is freedom of choice,” Mr. Phelps said. “Our school system is built on the promise of teaching everyone..everyone has an opportunity and a chance. What they do with it is entirely up to them when they walk through these doors. We are here to serve, and I like to make sure all of these freedoms are recognized and honored at the beginning of a new year.” The ceremony began with Mr. Phelps addressing the student body with a special guest appearance by Mr. Cowan. Legionnaires from the VFW post in Keswick were present to raise the flag, after which Student Council members Emma Bair and Megan Striegel led the Pledge of Allegiance. Mrs. Diana Pollard, the incoming Vocal Music instructor, then began the Star-Spangled Banner and was joined in singing by all present. Later in the morning, the ceremony was repeated for the elementary grades, so that every student had the opportunity to participate in honoring our country.

Keynote, “Machinery Pete” in Richland Author, television host and farm equipment authority, Greg Petersonwidely known as “Machinery Pete” will be the keynote speaker at the Vision AG LLC/ Winfield Answer Plot Knowledge event on Thursday, Sept. 4 in Richland. Peterson presents data and commentary on trends in used farm equipment values. He also reports on what he sees as highly dynamic and complex market due to lower row-crop commodity prices, uncertain status on the Section 179 tax limit, and large inventories of large late-model equipment on dealers’ used lots. “We’re closely watching this shifting market,” said Peterson, Founder and Principal, “There are some widening price disparities all across the country, and there will be both winners and losers in the used equipment space. Peterson is also be available to autograph copies of the new 2014 Machinery Pete Classic Tractor Price Guide. With over 400 pages and 52 equipment brands, this guide is the most comprehensive compilation of auction data on classic equipment. “I love every opportunity I can find to interact with farmers,” added Peterson, “Whether on social media or face-to-face, it’s great talking about trends in values and reminiscing on the classics. My audiences are passionate about their iron!” The event is Thursday, Sept. 4 at the Richland Vision Ag Shop. 709 Highway 78 East at 5:00 p.m. For more information, contact Vision Ag, LLC 319-456-6141 Keokuk County Historical Society Open House The Sunday afternoon of Sunday, Sept. 14 has been selected for the annual Society Open House.

The board first met with County Attorney, John Schroeder, to further discuss the possibility of creating a manger position for E911. He presented a list of duties that the manager would perform. A few of the duties include, attending meetings in Des Moines to remain updated on safety regulations, attending all E911 meetings, release news statements and manage the E911 database. Keep in touch with vendors and coordinating equipment related acquisitions and maintenance contracts and upgrades. Serve as the main contact for the public, other agencies and any other inquires. More details are available in the ad for the job when published in the newspaper. Schroeder challenged the supervisors to the ALS (more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease) Ice Bucket challenge that has been sweeping the globe. They respectively declined. Andy McGuire, Keokuk County Engineer, met with the board. He said the railroad would be working on the railroad crossing on W-15 north of Richland on Thursday and Friday, weather permitting with a detour via V-67 through Ollie to Highway 92. Tammy Gilliland, Keokuk County Community Services Administrative Assistant, gave the board the monthly community services update. In July there were two committals and 21 requests for assistance. There are three programs in development: The Rap program, which is a group therapy program, the Tenco Crisis Home and ER Outpatient program with Hillcrest Family Services. Meetings attended were: 911 meeting, SEMCO, English Valley WMS Meeting and County Empowerment meeting. By Robin Handy, NR Managing Editor It may have been the hottest week thus far for the summer of 2014, but the cooling effects of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge were felt across Sigourney with challenges expounding across the county and beyond. According to the organizers at Sigourney Care Center & Windsor Place Assisted Living, their small internal challenge snowballed into a three-part event last Thursday afternoon. Anita Yoder was challenged by some family members and the avalanche started from there... The first group included mainly staff members from the Sigourney Care Center & Windsor Place Assisted Living with a few friends thrown in: Father Charles Fladung, Paul Diment, June Rice, Jacque Palmer, Julie Wilson, Trisha Kerkove, Anita Yoder, Sherry Kerr, Jason Van Der Veer and Jae Cavin [photos by Robin Handy]. The second group included Care Center staff Nena Schimmelpfinnig and Allison Olson along with Keokuk County Attorney John Schroeder and Father Fladung (just for fun). The third group that afternoon were members of the Sigourney Police Department and Keokuk County Sheriff’s Department a.k.a. the law enforcement group. Organizers at the Care Center agreed this event and the donations have far exceeded their expectations, but are just as proud of the awareness this event has brought to the community for ALS. Jacque Palmer issued a challenge to all of the teachers at Sigourney Elementary School and Allison Olson challenged her father, Allan Glandon. In turn, these people and groups challenged their own ‘friends.’ One of those ‘friends’ were the teachers at Sigourney Elementary School: Crista Harper, Charlette Claywell, Diana Kerr, Tabitha Hahn, Laurie Hammes, Schay Moore, Shelly Streigle, Jenny Gay, Terri Glandon, Amy Jones, Julie Tremmel, Angela Bond, Jenny Bell, Mitch Eslick, Jolie Crawford, Sara Fowler, Alyssa Weber, Klynt Weber, Becky Shaw, Amanda Alderson, Deb Schultz, Deanna Hutchings, Jessica Meier, Amanda Russell and Lora Helm added a twist on Monday, Aug. 25 and SCSD Supterintendent Dave Harper stunned them all with a swan dive from the high board fully clothed, shoes and all.

Early symptoms of ALS often include increasing muscle weakness, especially involving the arms and legs, speech, swallowing or breathing. When muscles no longer receive the messages from the motor neurons that they require to function, the muscles begin to atrophy (become smaller). Limbs begin to look “thinner” as muscle tissue atrophies. Open House Jumps Starts Pekin’s New School Year The 2014-2015 Pekin school year began with a well-attended Open House on Monday evening, August 18th. Elementary and middle school students found their classrooms, brought supplies, and met their teachers. Pekin seniors, McKenna Gambell, Shelbi Talley, Maggie Brown, Madelyn Baker, Whitney Horras, and Mallory Reed greeted middle and high school students, answered questions, and handed out schedules. At 7:00, Karen Gale from the FBI spoke with parents and students about Internet safety. Ms. Gale reminded parents that just as the school has rules for computer usage, parents also needed to have rules. She encouraged parents to talk with students regarding their technology usage and to set expectations. Despite the rain, Pekin CSD students came to school on Wednesday, August 20th, with high expectations and great excitement. The year began with the presentation of the colors by Richard Bond, Frank Neff, Leroy Robison, Jim Archer and Paul Steele. Pekin student council president and vice-president presided over the elementary and secondary student body recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. Next, Pekin High School music students led the singing of our national anthem. Pekin Secondary students stayed in the gym for information regarding schedule changes, the opportunity to zip-line with the National Guard in physical education classes, and meet new staff. New Dean of Students, Tim Hadley, gained the students’ (and staff) attention when he appeared to drop a baby. He used the opportunity to remind students that a school year is a new opportunity- so “don’t drop the baby.” Middle school students returned to class, while high school students began an informative morning. In high school DENS, students received their new 1:1 technology tool. The Pekin school board approved the purchase of Dell Chromebooks for all 6-12 grade students. Despite some glitches, students signed Chromebook agreements and had an opportunity to explore their device. Throughout the morning, students heard about the multiple opportunities that we have for involvement. Tim Magill, student council supervisor, talked about homecoming, while fine arts teachers, Erin Almelien, Brenda Hagedon, Derrick White, and Chandra Snicker encouraged student participation in vocal music, art, instrumental music, and speech and drama. Antoinette Wittrock and Joe Donovan spent time going over the state’s No Pass No Play policy, Pekin’s academic eligibility policy, and Pekin’s Community Service and Silver Cord requirements. Thursday morning, students continued with Google lessons, Zip-line rides, and discussions over the student handbook. Seniors and Juniors had opportunities to discuss graduation and prom. Jostens representatives provided information to sophomores on class rings and seniors on graduation. Indian Hills staff, Sigourney superintendent, Dave Harper, Sigourney secondary principal, Shannon Webb, and Pekin principal, JoAnne Morenz, welcomed students to the Keokuk County Career Academy at orientation on Thursday evening. School counselor, Tim Magill, and TAG coordinator, Lori Eads, met with Pekin students taking online college-credit classes through Indian Hills on Friday. All Indian Hills classes (online and through the Keokuk County Career Academy) begin on Monday, August 25th. Students attended their morning classes during the afternoon Wednesday, and their afternoon classes during the afternoon Thursday. The week culminated on Friday with the Fall Sports Preview and a Back to School Dance sponsored by the yearbook sponsor, Erin Almelien, and her class. Students in attendance at the dance received their 2013-2014 yearbook.

Selected projects will be announced in October. “Teachers play such a transformative role in student achievement, and we want to help ensure they have the necessary tools to provide a positive learning experience,” said Erryn Anderson, U.S. Cellular’s director of sales in Iowa and Nebraska. “The Calling All Teachers program allows us to impact teachers and students in our entire footprint and create unique opportunities for teachers to engage, inspire and educate in the classroom. DonorsChoose.org is a charity website that helps teachers identify funds from corporate and individual donations for classroom projects. Through US Cellular’s ongoing commitment to the community and education, the company has contributed more than $7 million through this and other philanthropic programming. US Cellular has funded more than 4,500 classroom projects through DonorsChoose.org, which include technology tools, art equipment and science experiments. “Teachers are often looking for resources to improve students’ educational experiences, and we want to help ease the process, “said Charles Best, founder and CEO of DonorsChoose.org, “We’re pleased to join US Cellular for a fourth year in their efforts because funding teachers’ classroom projects to this magnitude can have a lasting impact on students and schools.

The News-Review Wednesday, August 13, 2014 Tales of the Ancient Sportsman Ponderings of the Heart By Jane Green Larson by Burdell Hensley I’m back again for a little while. We just spent three days in Ocala, Fl and four days on the road. Why anyone would go to Florida in August is beyond me, but grandparents do strange things. Our twin grandsons were playing in the Babe Ruth 14 year-old World Series in Ocala and we wouldn’t miss it. The warm weather we are having in Iowa right now doesn’t feel bad compared to the heat and high humidity in Florida. The plan was to play all the games in the evening, but that idea was foiled when the lights on the main diamond kept going out. (They were not Musco lights). Finally they had to give in and play the games in the afternoon. When the Ottumwa kids played their final game, it was 98 degrees with humidity of about 95 percent. That is brutal, but they did well and won that game 10-0 over a pretty good team from New Jersey. There were 10 teams in the series and pool play was used. There were five teams in each pool and the top three advanced to the finals. Ottumwa lost the first three games to dig a deep hole. Pacific Northwest beat them 11-1, Tri-County Texas topped them 8-4 and the host Ocala team beat them 12-7. In both the Texas and Ocala games we led after five innings, but could not hang on. A win in either of those games would have put us in the finals. But it was a great experience for the kids and the parents and grandparents enjoyed it as well. There was a stark contrast to this world series and the Little League world series. No big crowds, no beautiful stadium, no ESPN coverage and in fact I’m not sure the local newspaper was there. The playing field was OK, but the seating was terrible. I sat in the box seats behind the right field fence. That would be my lawn chair parked under the Spanish moss hanging from the large trees. The shade made it about 10 degrees cooler. I took my golf clubs and was going to get in a round or two, but when I stepped out of the hotel at 8:00 a.m. it became evident that golf was not the order of the day. So the Ancient-ess and I drove around the countryside to see what we could see. On Monday we drove to the east and went through the Ocala National Forest. I didn’t see a great lot that impressed me. On Tuesday we went to the southwest and took in the lake area around Hernando, Fla. That was a much more scenic area with some real fancy horse farms. We got back into Ocala in time for lunch at the Cracker Barrel. We had a little over an hour to kill before we went to the ball park. As we drove along, what to our wondering eyes should appear, but a Hobby Lobby with palm trees in front of the entrance. The Ancient-ess was in paradise and I was perfectly willing to soak up their air conditioning. They really need to put some benches in those stores. It is good to be back and we are just in time for high school sports. I am more than ready. There are a few volleyball matches this week, but most of the action does not kick off until next week. I am not sure who will be tough on the court this fall, but I look for Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont to be a force to reckon with. It is Friday night lights this week and I look for some great games in the area. My assignment is Pella at Washington and it should be a classic. I believe that Washington was the Class 3-A runner-up last fall and Pella was the team they knocked off to get to the Dome. I look for the Eddyville-BlakesburgFremont at Pekin battle to be a war. Likewise the Pella Christian at PCM contest should be interesting. The Sigourney-Keota game at BGM should draw some attention as will the Lone Tree at North Mahaska game. Tri-County should pick up a win at Moravia and the English Valleys game at Twin Cedars could be a tossup. The Osky game at Winterset is hard to call. I went to the Osky Old Shoe game Friday night and noticed some talent, but when the two teams are divided equally, it is a little hard to tell how things will shake out. Sunday was a neat day. I filled in for Pastor Don Job at the Searsboro Church and it was great to see some old friends and some new faces. It is great to see a little rural church holding together when so many are closing their doors. After church we headed for Ottumwa for a couple of baseball games. Logan is playing for the Oskaloosa Senior Babe Ruth club and they are participating in the Ottumwa Fall League. TriCounty’s Jake Brumbaugh is also on the Osky team and he gives them some pop with the bat and some versatility on defense. Both Jake and Logan had good games as their team won 6-1 and 8-2. Yes, it was hot, but not Florida hot. It is time once more to look over our shoulder and see what happened yesterday. 100 years ago: Aug. 31, 1914- The Deep River News By Janet Rauch This past week everyone was busy bringing their campers home from the fair. I have yet to see the trophies Casey and Bobby got from the tractor pull. Tuesday, Ellen Zimmerman and I went to the North English Nursing Home to hear the Rhythm Band. Georgia Warner rode along with us. Ellen stopped at the store, then we ate at the Malt Shop. Kenny and I went to the West Liberty Church twice to hear Ted Knight at the Gospel meetings. Kenny hadn’t been feeling well, so we had to miss a few nights. Lavone and Zeld Rauch were there one night . Lavone is Lavern’s twin brother. We enjoyed visiting with those we knew. Kenny used to go to church at West Liberty so he chatted with quite a few folks. The 50+ Club went to Pizza Ranch in Grinnell on Wednesday. Three members went: Mary Ross, Darlene McClenathan and Fern Taylor, who drove. They shopped afterwards and had a good time. Several members has appointments, etc. and couldn’t make the trip so they didn’t get to play Bingo. Mary and Bert Ross and some of their family went to the flea market. They had a lot of farm toys to sell. Mary and Bert went to Grinnell on Friday and shopped. Mary also went to Ottumwa to get a perm from her daughter, Mardalene. Trudy, my granddaughter, won first prize at the Waterloo Truck pull. She loves doing this. Kenny and I went to Cedar Rapids on Saturday afternoon to shop. Trudy met us at Aldi’s to visit before she went to a friends she had introduced to me. We then ate at Long John Silvers. Jamie Cranston called and said he was staying over at his Uncle Jerry’s for a night. He will be back to work at McDonald’s on Sunday. He has worked there for quite some time. Jerry Cranston celebrated his birthday on Sunday. He is now 79 years old. Lois Evans was to be dismissed from the hospital on Sunday. Her son, Edd, was at church. He said she would be taking therapy. Bill Warwick is feeling better. He and Marilyn went to the fair. Bill is now getting dialysis in his arm. Their daughter took Bill to dialysis, while Marilyn went to the fair. Jeanie Fisher left after church last Sunday and spent a few day’s with her son. She came home on Wednesday.

TriCounty will depend on the running of Travis Moore and Scott Edmundson to improve their position in the SICL. Sigourney is looking to reclaim the SICL title. Bob Howard is preparing a backfield of Chris Coffman, Aaron Schott, Mark Greiner and Greg Patzner to run behind a pair of big tackles in Dan Bower and Chris Webb. Have a super week and get ready for the game. It may be warm now, but in about six or seven weeks we will be bundling up to go to the game. Playoffs will be here before you know it. Delta News By June Rice As a farm child many evenings were spent sitting at the kitchen table in our family’s farm house cutting out paper dolls from an outdated Sears and Roebuck or Penney’s catalog. My mother loved to help, especially on cold and snowy nights. On a Saturday morning when I was in seventh grade, I overheard my dad come into the kitchen for mid- morning coffee. I was playing with the paper dolls upstairs in my room. I heard my dad ask my mother where I was and what I was doing. Mother said, “She is upstairs playing with her paper dolls.” She continued to explain how concerned she was because I was getting much to old to pretend and play with paper dolls. I remember her comment made me very sad. Since I did not want my parents to be disappointed in me, I instantly began to pick up all those homemade paper dolls and one by one, I placed them in an empty shoebox that I had stored under my bed. Instead of putting the box back under the bed, I stored it in the closet. I never took them out again, however, I was tempted, but I knew, “I was much too grown up to be playing with paper dolls, because that is what my mother told my dad! The Bible tells us in I Corinthians 14:11 and 12, “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man (woman), I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face, now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known.” Those are powerful words. You see, we as Christians must put away our childish thoughts and ways, and even though we may not understand all about the Lord, we shall one day see him face to face when either the death angel is dispatched from heaven for our appointed time of death or when he returns in the air for those whom are called the Bride of Christ. What a wonderful thought for By Hilda Souer With this year’s Delta Days “being just around the corner” (Sept. 6 and 7), I looked in Mother’s scrapbook to see if I could find some of Delta’s past history. And I did! When Mother was living I never hesitated to ask her about such events of the past. I remembered that Delta celebrated their centennial on July 4 and 5 in 1975. I found. In the scrapbook I found a clipping. Incidentally, as I read this information and knowing Mother was born in 1902, I read names and knew that Mother had told about them at sometime. I’m sure some of you readers may also have heard or read some of their names also. The following is from the Nov. 29, 1877 issue of the “Oskaloosa Herald”: “DELTA- This town is on the C.R.I & P. Railroad, equidistant from Rose Hill and Sigourney, seven miles from either place. It is a very neat and thrifty place. We took a run down there last week and chatted with the business men thereof. The stereotyped cry of dull times prevailed there as elsewhere. The roads were in bad condition and consequently farmers were not coming into town as usual. Notwithstanding the complaint of hard times, we found the town building a handsome brick twostory school house, 42X60 across at the cost of $4000. It presents a fine appearance and is a credit to the place. Benjamin Binns of Oskaloosa did the stone and brick work, which is sufficient guarantee that it is well done. Among the business men of the place we noted Reed Brothers, Dealers in general merchandise. They have a fine room on the corner just opposite of the “Delta House”, and carry a large stock for its size. Moode Brothers and Elliot, also deal in general merchandise, largely dry goods, of which they have a large line. The Moode brothers are well known to many of our Mahaska County people, they have done business for several years at Agricola Prentiss Brothers. The brothers deal in hardware, stoves and agricultural implements. They carry a large stock of stoves and supply that section of the country for miles in every direction. They sold the past season, nine threshing machines. James Bethard carries on the saddle and harness business. C.C. Wilson has a large and fine store filled with unusually large stock of drugs and books. He is one of the pioneers in this section, having for many years, been a practicing physician at Springfield. William Merryfield has a bakery and restaurant near the depot. Stanley Brothers do a general merchandising business and also keep the post office. I.E. Stanley being Nasby, Amos Schott & Brothers carry on the lumber trade doing a lively business. N.C Eaton & Son have a large grain elevator, they also buy stock, poultry, etc. A.H Heber is the station agent and a good one he is too, courteous and obliging, never too busy to attend to all who have inquiries to make or business with him. Delta has an incorporated area of one square mile ,is nicely situated, the ground being sufficiently sloping to admit of good drainage.

The Bible tells us that he is coming back not a babe in a manger, but instead as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. There is a little song that I love to sing, it is named, “Until Then.” The chorus goes like this, “Until then, my heart will go on singing, Until then, with joy we’ll carry on, Until the day our eyes behold his beauty, Until the day, Christ calls us home!” What a blessed day that will be when our Jesus we shall see! My prayer today is that we have put away all our childish thoughts and our false ways, and we will be ready to meet Him. Scripture tells us that no man knows the day or hour, only that he is coming soon and it will be quickly, even in a twinkling of an eye. Oh, Reader, I pray, we are all ready for that great and glorious day. God bless you. Thanks for listening. Just Reminiscing . . . - Warren Township is proud to have another Century Farm.

This initiative is part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) effort to save lives by focusing on drunk/drugged drivers. Together with law enforcement agencies across the nation, Iowa will have more than 250 city, county and state law enforcement agencies participating in this heightened enforcement event beginning August 25 and running through September 7. “Driving drunk or drugged is a life threatening undertaking not only for those who do it but for all of those who use Iowa’s roadways,” says Patrick Hoye, Bureau Chief of the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau. One of the deadliest and most often committed, yet preventable of crimes, drunk driving, has become a serious safety epidemic in our country. Hoye further advises that, “Through high visibility enforcement, officers will remain vigilant, not only addressing drunken driving issues, but all traffic violations. Our number one goal is to save lives.” Last year in Iowa, there were 317 citizens who died in motor vehicle crashes and 75 of those were attributed to drivers impaired by alcohol or other drugs. According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, there were 4 fatalities during the 3-day Labor Day Holiday last year, one of which was alcohol related. Crash data has shown in the past five years, the months of August and September are the most deadliest months of the year. For additional information, go to www.iowagtsb.org or www.nhtsa.dot.gov.

The WACO Warriors, who finished 5-5 last season, visited the Cobras on Friday for a friendly Gatorade Scrimmage between the two squads. Sigourney-Keota opened up the scrimmage on offense and broke off the first big play of the night, when Nate Sieren took handoff from Blaine Gretter 80 yards for a touchdown on the very first play. First-string, second-string and third-string players from both teams all got ample opportunities to make plays and gain experience in front of the big crowd on Friday, making the scrimmage a valuable learning experience for both sides. No score or time was kept. The Cobras open up their season this Friday, Aug. 29, at 2013 Class A runner-up, BGM. 641-622-3771 EvErything you’vE BEEn Asking For in A MulE . . .
