ALS Ice Bucket
Challenge ‘Week’
Annual
Delta Days
Celebration
TC Starts the Year
with Stars and Stripes
Submitted
On Tuesday, Aug. 19, TriCounty Community Schools kicked
off the 2014-15 school year with a
flag raising ceremony for grades
7-12.
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.

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

Moines to remain updated on safety
regulations, attending all E911 meetings, release news statements and

Ice Bucket challenge that has been
sweeping the globe. They respectively declined.

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.

US Cellular Donates
Senior Citizen Menu
To Classroom Projects Aug. 28 - Sept. 3
US Cellular will donate $1 million to fund classroom projects
through its Calling All Teachers
program. Iowa Public school
teachers are encouraged to submit their projects for consideration.
Last year, US Cellular contributed $500,000 toward educational
materials for improved classroom
experiences. US Cellular funded
120 Iowa projects worth $70,820
that benefited 8,950 students
throughout the state.
K-12 public school teachers
simply need to register online at
DonorsChoose.org and affiliate as
a US Cellular teacher. Teachers
can post their projects on the site
through Sept. 21 for potential
funding. 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.
For more information, visit

There is a suggested donation
for persons 60 years of age or
older and their spouses of any
age.

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.

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. Several new buildings were
put up during the past season,
as altogether the place has the
appearance of a thrifty, energetic
town. We hope to visit it again
when we shall expect to see many
evidences of it continued prosperity.”

us to see the Lord in all his glory.
Yes, we shall see him as he really
is, and in all wisdom, and majesty.
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.

Warren Township is proud to
have another Century Farm.
Page Williams bought the farm
in 1908 southwest of Delta. It is
on 250th St., 1/2 mile from the
Keokuk-Mahaska line. The farm
passed to his son, Jessie Williams,
to his son Lloyd Williams and is
now owned by his daughter and
son-in-law, Shirley and Earnest
McBeth of Ottumwa.
This award was presented at
the State Fair and recognizes the
deep roots of the Iowa agriculture
special bond existing between
Iowa families and the land they
farm. Accepting the award were
the McBeths and their sons, Mark
and Chris.

sTEP into Safety this
Labor Day Weekend
As part of the National
Drunk Driving Campaign,
“Drive Sober or Get Pulled
Over,” Iowa law enforcement officers, including the Sigourney Police
Department
and
the
Keokuk County Sheriff’s
Department, will beef up
their commitment to saving lives on Iowa’s streets
and highways. 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
the
first time this
season,
the
SigourneyKeota football
players got a chance to take
out their aggression against
someone other than their own
teammates.
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.
