Slick road sends truck into tree, injuring three

Icy roads were the cause of a pickup accident Saturday morning that sent three people to the hospital, according to the Buena Vista County Sheriffs Office. Mireya Rodriguez-Placido, 40, of Cherokee, was driving east on C49 from M36 at 10:39 a.m. when she lost control of her vehicle. The pickup entered the north ditch and collided head-on with a tree. Rodriguez-Placido and two children were trapped in the vehicle until emergency personnel were able to open the doors of the pickup. Rodriguez-Placido, an 11-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl were all taken to Buena Vista Regional Medical Center by ambulance with minor injuries. The vehicle sustained $5,000 worth of damage. The Storm Lake Fire Department, Storm Lake Police and Buena Vista County Sheriffs Office assisted at the scene. Rodriguez-Placido was cited for failure to maintain control and no drivers license.

BV ROADS LAG FOR LACK OF STATE FUNDING

Board mulls property tax hike to make up shortfall
Engineer says county roads are 3 years behind
BY JOEY AGUIRRE Buena Vista County Engineer Jon Ites believes that more funding is needed to help keep roads up to date. He says the county is behind on its road repairs. Ites said Buena Vista County has roughly 1,000 miles of road, 750 miles of gravel and 250 miles of paved road. I think right now were probably 30 miles behind where we should be as far as

Radio on again for Fondas PD chief

Sheriff doesnt like Leus forays outside of town
CITY, COUNTY REACH TRUCE
Pocahontas County Sheriff Robert Lampe instructed radio dispatchers Friday to quit communicating with Fonda Police Chief Alex Leu because the chief is traversing too far afield. Lampe told The Storm Lake Times that he has tried over two years to convince Leu to stay within the city limits of Fonda to no avail. The sheriff or his deputies continue to greet him at accidents or crime scenes in or around Laurens, Palmer and Varina when he has not been called by the sheriff or local first responders for assistance. Leu responded by taking to state radio over the weekend and posting Lampes fax order on the citys Facebook page. That engendered a debate that City Clerk Phyllis Menke had to shut down and partially clear from the social networking site on Monday. Leu also got his story on the front page of The Des Moines Register on Monday. By Monday night, city and county officials agreed that Leu can be on the county radio dispatch system. But he must not respond to emergencies outside Fonda without first being requested via mutual aid. Leu pointed out that he is a certified emergency medical technician. I can get there quicker than everyone else, Leu told The Register. Lampe sent Leu a couple letters over the past couple years urging the chief to rein it in. Leu told The Register that he did not respond to the letters. The fax boiled up after Leu covered an accident near Varina. What if the Pocahontas County Sheriff came into Buena Vista County to cover an accident? I dont think Gary (Launderville) would like that very well, Lampe said. Leu said he is simply trying to help keep the public safe by responding when he can. He has the citys support. Lampe says Leu might not be insured when he leaves the city limits without first being called out on mutual aid by another CONTINUED ON PAGE 2A

Ites gets three-year contract

Engineer says he will retire in 15
Buena Vista County Engineer Jon Ites has notified the Board of Supervisors that he plans to retire in spring 2015 after over 20 years of service. Ites, who was given a new three-year contract by the Board of Supervisors last week told The Storm Lake Times hes looking at 2015 unofficially. Chairman of the Board Paul Merten said even though he may not fulfill his three-year contract, its the way hes always done it. Ites has been working as county engineer since May 31, 1994. The way hes always done his contract is its always been a three-year contract, Merten told The Storm Lake Times. And in the final year of his contract but before he got to the final year, he would always bring in a new three year one. Ites contract pays him $98,220 for the 2014 fiscal year and $99,940 for fiscal years 2015 and 2016, even though he may not be around for the third year. Theres no pay raise that third year of the contract so thats why its in there for three years, Merten said. Even though his retirement right now is tentatively set for July of 2015. He may need to go another month or two depending on insurance and stuff like that.

IMMIGRATION: Storm Lake learns from many years of experience

Continued from page one multicultural communities are the new normal, and to those who have asked, Whens it going to pass, regarding the influx of new immigrants, he replied, Its not. He shared the statistics: Over 25 languages are spoken in Storm Lake and non-Anglo students comprise over 83.9% of students at Storm Lake Elementary School. But he stressed, I cant say enough, how much the positives outweigh the negatives. With the aid of a Power Point, Prosser listed the effects immigrants have had on Storm Lake: Expanded city borders, record childbirths, added jobs, full to overflowing schools and increased cultural events and attractions. He added, I would say that when compared to students from other towns, our students have a better view of the world when they leave here. Prosser shared lessons learned throughout the years. A task force on unmet needs in 1991 was one of the first to bring leaders together to address new challenges. Serving the new population led to ESL classes, neighborhood outreach programs, staff trainings and finding translators. Presenters from University of Northern Iowa, the Commission for Latino Affairs and the Vera Institute of Justice were invited to speak on issues of diversity. Certain ideas werent successful, Prosser stated. Multicultural potlucks werent well attended by Latinos, partially

People think its total mayhem here. Its not. Its the best move I ever made.
Storm Lake School Superintendent Carl Turner, on moving here

They say you cant change people. You cant expect to change people, until you change yourself first.

because, in their background, being invited to an event shouldnt require bringing food. Another diversity event was a flop because it was scheduled at the same time as a soccer tournament across town. The police department had to learn that failure to make eye contact is in some cultures, a sign of respect, not a signal that the person is lying. When his department purchased a Lao software package a dozen years ago, this was a huge step, we thought. That was until it was discovered that it could only be used by a Lao speaker. WHEN A GENTLEMAN from Alta asked if the schools in Storm Lake are good, Prosser deferred to Superintendent Carl Turner who was in the audience. Turner started out saying that when he took the job two years ago, people told me, Man, youre insane. People think its total mayhem here, he said. Its not. He called his move to Storm Lake, the best move I ever made. Addressing the issue of quality education, he said the Storm Lake schools are models for others across the state and that the charter school unjustly makes our graduation rates appear low. He praised the charter school for making higher education possible for many immigrants. Other basic questions came from the audience. How do you get a school board that is accepting? asked a man from Orange City. How do we welcome people? asked Carmen Hernandez, a Catholic sister who is working with Latinos in Hampton. PROSSER SUGGESTED that school boards and other community governing boards need to take ownership. They have a duty to serve the people who are here. They say you cant change people, he said. You cant expect to change people, until you change yourself first. He shared some personal information. I grew up in an urban area with predominantly African American neighbors, he said. He mentioned racial slurs. I used them and my family used them. It was common. His transition happened early in his law enforcement career. Now even a hint of racism is not tolerated in the Storm Lake Public Safety Department, Prosser said. Employees are told ahead of time, If you say an offcolor joke or use a racially oriented term, youre fired. Theres no second chance, he told the group. IN THE SHARING Best Practices in our communities segment of the forum, panelist Judy Hauswald of Center For Assistance, Service and Advocacy of Sioux County stressed the importance of having the support of industries that employ immigrants. By sponsoring a lunch for Sioux Center industries (Natural Food Holdings Golden Krisp, Center Fresh Eggs and the Western Iowa Dairy Alliance), CASA developed a relationship that would later bear fruit. Not only did the businesses sponsor a successful Latino festival in Sioux Center, they voiced their opinion for immigration reform to Chuck Grassley and other politicians. They said, If you dont do something about immigration, well have to close our doors, said Hauswald. Yet 83% of Sioux County voters supported Steve King over Christie Vilsack for Congress. King has compared immigrants to cattle and said most young Latinos are drug runners. ANOTHER TOPIC discussed was the need to help immigrants navigate our legal and social systems. Translators and interpreters are in demand. It was agreed that the job cant be expected of volunteers. Its a big challenge, said Lynnette Esquivel Ohana who works as a translator for Avera Holy Family Hospital in Estherville. I dont want to be condescending, but its hard to adjust what youre saying into laymens terms. It was discovered that a program at Northwestern College in Orange City is training students in that very field. Afternoon sessions addressed action needed in the political arena. According to Matt Hildreth of CASA of Sioux County, one of Saturdays facilitators, leaders in Iowa need to embrace legislation that would allow ALL immigrants who can pass a driving certification process to obtain a drivers card. Many of us are hoping that there will be changes in the law that will allow for testing, temporary licensing and mandatory insurance for immigrants living and driving in our communities who can prove identity and residence, said Di Daniels, an organizer of the forum. A number of states already have done this. MAXINE LAMPE of Storm Lake was a panelist during the final session. She shared aspects of her work as a member of the state board Latina/o al Exito. She hopes to bring initiatives to Storm Lake such as the Latina Project whereby Latina women work with Latina girls to prepare them for college. Lampe is also applying for a Monsanto grant that would bring Iowa State Universitys Juntos project to Storm Lake. Through this initiative parents learn to obtain scholarships and grants for their children. I was disappointed that there weren't more non-Caucasian people there, she said of Saturdays forum, but she praised the event as a whole. I thought it was an excellent first step of working towards comprehensive immigration reform.

BV ROADS: Property taxes might increase to fill funding pothole

FONDA: Sheriff states concern for liability

Continued from page one agency. The Register reports that Fonda City Attorney Jim Hudson believes city squad cars are covered under insurance outside the city. City Councilwoman Angela Podraza also rose to Leus defense. I feel as a City Council member that we should support our police chief, she said. Its ridiculous that its had to come to this point. Leu has encouraged Fondites to contact him directly via his city-issued cellphone if the county wont patch callers through. Lampe says it is better to file all police calls through a central dispatch so they can be tracked properly. Lampe said that the dispatch center received 55 calls for service in 2013; Leu received 119 cellphone calls for service last year. Lampe insists that his concern is for liability. If he keeps doing this, were all going to get sued someday, Lampe said. Its not a matter of if, but when. For his part, Leu said it is Fonda city policy to respond to nearby calls outside the city limits.

same time. They can even be sexy, if youre into that kind of thing. Life changing stories could be sent along with votes. Esquire has previously sponsored contests for the Most LifeChanging Fried Chicken, Ribs and Pizza. Victor and Cristina Bautista started the Sioux City restaurant in 1998. They had previously owned a food truck in Los Angeles, Calif. The Storm Lake location opened 11 years ago. Roberto is Victors cousin. He and Margarita moved from Chicago and became affiliated with the family business in 2006. The secret of the success of the burrito is all handmade cooked-from-scratch ingredients, says Victors son Victor, 26, who works at La Juanitas in

Sioux City. Everything is made here in the restaurant, he said. The meat is bought directly from Tyson and sliced into cubes by hand. Beans dont from a can. Theyre dry beans cooked on the stove. Hot sauce and the Mexican-style pickled carrots are also family recipes. The Bautistas originate from Jalisco, Mexico. Publicity from the poll brought in a lot of customers who hadnt been here, said Victor Jr. It was a crazy weekend. Storm Lakes most reliable customer base are guys from the college, said Roberto, who come in after 6 p.m. And a burrito sells for only $4.50. That just might be sexy to the right guy.

Continued from page one have, the more expensive it is. Ites said that is costs nearly $200,000 to overlay a mile of road, meaning to lay three inches of new asphalt. The high costs could lead to asphalt roads becoming gravel. We had a short stretch of asphalt south of the lake that weve converted back to asphalt already, Ites said. According to state officials, a proposed increase of ten cents to gasoline and diesel fuel taxes would raise an estimated $230 million. That would be enough to cover the $215 million annual shortfall to meet the most critical needs. Ites said raising property taxes could help fund the roads and bridges in the county but no decision has been made. According to Ites, there are roughly 138 certified bridges in the county and for a bridge to be considered certified, it must be at least 20 feet long. Oh, maybe six or seven structures behind where we should be, Ites said when talking about keeping the bridges up-to-date with maintenance work. Maybe more than that. According to a report published by The Des Moines Register, the State of Iowa has 114,320 miles of roads and a majority, roughly 90,000 miles, are part of the cash-strapped county road system. County roads require annual statewide spending of $814 million but actual expenditures have been running about $690 million, according to the Iowa County Engineers Association. There are 19,114 county bridges and one of every five are rated as deficient.

Following graduation from Aurelia High School, Dan graduated from Buena Vista University in Storm Lake before returning to the farm. Dan has been working to preserve the small town way of life that makes Iowa great. He will continue to work to grow rural Iowa.

Dan and his wife, Barbara, are members of St. Pauls Lutheran Church in Aurelia where Dan has served on numerous boards and committees.

In the House, Huseman serves as the Chair of the Transportation, Infrastructure and Capitals Appropriations subcommittee the committee in charge of transportation funding throughout the state. He also serves on the Natural Resources, Public Safety, Appropriations and Transportation committees.

$10K grant MidAmerican phone scam for fluoride residents treatment SL should notify
The City of Storm Lake is pleased to announce the receipt of a $10,000 grant from the Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation. The grant will be used to improve the process of applying fluoride in drinking water through the purchase of additional equipment to analyze and monitor fluoride feed rates. The City of Storm Lake has supplemented naturally occurring fluoride levels for many years, but varying concentrations of naturally occurring fluoride through different wells have made targeting the optimum recommended treatment levels a challenge. We are very grateful to Delta Dental for their support to the City of Storm Lake to help us provide a consistent high quality water product to our customers, Mayor Jon Kruse said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recognized water fluoridation as one of the top 10 greatest public health achievements of the 20th century, Dr. Ed Schooley, DDS, dental director for Delta Dental of Iowa said. The key to fluorides protective benefit is having a little fluoride on your teeth throughout the day. Brushing your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day, drinking fluoridated water and limiting between-meal snacking on sugary or starchy foods will help keep most children and adults teeth decay-free. The City will be purchasing and installing the equipment within the next two to three months and the system should be up and running within 90 days.

police if they get a call

The Storm Lake Police Department is warning the community of a telephone scam that presented itself in the area illegally using the MidAmerican Energy Company name. Police have learned that citizens and businesses in the Storm Lake area are receiving phone calls from an 800 number with the caller representing themselves as a representative of Mid American Energy. The caller tells the customer that he/she either has a past due bill or needs immediate repairs to a service. The customer is advised to acquire a Green Dot Cash Card and then call the 800 number and give the cash card account number to the person who answers the phone. MidAmerican Energy confirmed this afternoon to the Storm Lake Police Department that these calls are scams and to not provide any personal or financial information to the callers. Citizens and business owners are asked to notify local law enforcement in the event they receive one of these fraudulent calls. For more information contact the Storm Lake Police Department at 712-732-8010.

MACDONALD HOSKINS

PHOUTHONE LOUGIU

MAN CONVICTED OF FORGERY

Man forges checks that add up to almost $10K
On Monday MacDonald Hoskins, 53, of Storm Lake was convicted of forgery and sentenced to prison for five years. Between June 25 and Sept. 11 of 2013 Hoskins stole 15 checks and then completed the checks out to himself from a Storm Lake victims checkbook. The total amount stolen was $9,982. Hoskins was originally charged with ongoing criminal conduct and 15 counts of forgery. On Dec. 9 Hoskins pled guilty to a single count of forgery pursuant to the plea agreement that he had struck with the prosecutor. In exchange Hoskins had to agree to be sentenced to prison. At the sentencing Hoskins had the opportunity to address the judge. Hoskins pled with the judge to take mercy on him citing his drug addiction to heroin; however, the judge cited to the plea agreement and Hoskins substantial criminal history from Illinois in sending Hoskins to prison. Hoskins was ordered to pay the victim back the full $9,982, along with $1,350 in fines and surcharges associated with the criminal conduct and a $125 law enforcement initiative. The fines and surcharges were suspended.

SL man pleads guilty to burglary, theft charge

On Monday, Jan. 6 in the District Court for Buena Vista County Phouthone Lougiu, 25, of Storm Lake, pled guilty and was sentenced for burglary and theft. The burglary charge came from an incident in April where Lougiu entered a Storm Lake womans home without permission. At the plea Lougiu admitted that he entered the home, got into bed with the woman and began fondling her without her consent. Judge Nancy Wittenburg concluded that the offense was sexually motivated and Lougiu was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but the prison term was suspended and the defendant was placed on probation for three years. The judge cited the defendants substance abuse problems and ordered as part of his probation that Lougiu was to complete in-patient treatment at the Residential Treatment Facility in Sheldon. Often it takes several weeks for a bed to open up at the treatment facility. Lougiu will be held in custody at the Buena Vista County jail until a bed is available and Lougiu will also be required to register on Iowas Sex Registry for 10 years. Lougiu also appeared in court for a theft charge unrelated to the burglary. Lougiu pled guilty to theft and admitted that he stole a gold necklace valued at $4,000. Judge Wittenburg sentenced Lougiu to prison for five years but suspended the prison term and ordered him to be placed on probation for three years.

Some famous (and infamous) visitors

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Fire Calls
Storm Lake Fire Department Jan. 9 Thursday morning at 10:03 the fire department was called to Otsego Place Apartments at 520 Otsego St. because of an automated fire alarm. Firefighters determined that smoke from burnt food in the dining room had activated the alarm. There was no fire and no damage. The Storm Lake Fire Department was called to 1520 W. Fifth St. #6 because of a report of a burning odor coming from a furnace on Thursday at 5:53 p.m. Firefighters determined that the air filter in the furnace unit was plugged causing the furnace to overheat. There was no fire and no damage. Jan. 10 On Friday at 2:50 p.m. the Storm Lake Fire Department was called to Faith, Hope and Charity because of an automated fire alarm. Firefighters determined that an aerosol spray being used in Charity Home activated a smoke detector in one of the bedrooms. There was no fire and no damage.

uring the early days of Buena Vista County, one might presume that the county was an agrarian society of plain and simple folk with limited cultural aspirations, out of the traffic of mainstream America, and where the greatest excitement was county fairs and hoedowns. One would be wrong. True, it was an agrarian society, but it was a dynamic society of industrious people building a society of government, politics, law, education and culture. It was also a portal for transportation and communication from the eastern mainstream to the western frontier. Besides a study of the progressive settlers and citizens themselves, a glimpse of some typical (and not so typical) visitors and travelers can provide some insight into different and interesting facets of the county and its people. Abner Bell (right) was one of the first visitors and eventual settlers of the county in 1856. A typical frontiersman, he hunted and trapped, lived in a shack which he built, wore clothes that he made himself out of animal hides, never bathed, wore his clothes until they rotted off, and was otherwise an eccentric (and odorous) pioneer. Yet, he eventually became what some would call the father of the county. He was instrumental in organizing county government, filled numerous government positions and in many other ways developed the foundations of the county. Inkpadutah was an infamous and despicable visitor to Buena Vista County. A renegade outcast of the Santee Sioux tribe, he was as ugly in temperament as he was physically (right). In 1857 he, with his band of 14 vicious renegades, invaded the county and performed despicable depredations among the early settlers along the upper Little Sioux River. The atrocities were so intimidating that the majority of settlers abandoned their settlements and farms and retreated to Fort Dodge and Sac City, not to return for some time. After its terrorism of the county settlers, the band of savages departed for their ultimate depredation the Spirit Lake Massacre. In 1876, a troop train arrived in Newell and disgorged a large number of troops from the U.S. 7th Cavalry for a rest. A m o n g them were Col. George C u s t e r (right) and his wife Libby. The town was all a-twitter with having the awesome commander of the famed U.S. 7th Cavalry in their midst. Custer had been in Washington (in a bit of trouble with the administration) and was heading back to Fort Lincoln (North Dakota). Unfortu-

nately, it was to his final destiny. A few weeks later he led his troops into the catastrophic Battle of the Little Bighorn. On a dark night in the late 1870s, several men in Newell had been hired to maintain a vigil against horse thieves at the livery stable. It was a chilly night and they built a bonfire at the entrance to keep warm. All was quiet until they heard the quiet sound of muffled horses hooves. There, just within the edge light of the fire, was a group of eight mounted horsemen. From wanted posters that they had seen posted throughout the area, they recognized the two leaders Jesse and Frank James. It was the infamous James and Younger brothers gang of outlaws. They were wanted by the law and had a heavy price on their heads for the 20 bank and train robberies they had committed over the years. It was the most feared gang of outlaws in the country. The gang paused, but continued on its way. It apparently was headed for Northfield, Minn., to rob the bank, but several days later they were in a famous gun battle with law enforcement. The gang suffered several wounded and captured, and the rest scattered. The folklore is that, having visited the stagecoach hotel several times, Jessies ghost haunts it. In the early days of Buena Vista College, there was a controversy among the locals whether the college should be a religious institution or a prep school. In 1891 President Hayes (right) visited the college and very possibly influenced its future. There was an educational institution in Fort Dodge that was a prep school and President Hayes voiced his concern that he didnt feel the need for another prep school in the region, and that he envisioned that Buena Vista would become a full liberal arts institution. While visiting the town, he made the comment that Storm Lake is a classical little city. 1901 was a year in which Sioux Rapids was the site of a bank robbery, and Albert City the site of one of the worst gunfights in Iowa history. Three strangers rode the rails into Sioux Rapids: Lewis Banks, the ringleader; Albert Phillips and a third unidentified companion. After casing the town, the trio one night robbed the bank, then disappeared. The alert was quickly spread throughout the region to be on the lookout for the trio. They appeared in the Albert City railroad depot waiting for the train on which to leave town. A sheriffs posse had been waiting for them and a tremendous gunfight ensued. The sheriff and one of the posse members were killed, as was the unidentified trio companion. Banks and Phillips surrendered, were tried and sentenced to be hanged. The New World Theater was being constructed in Storm Lake in 1911. Jack B e n n y (right), the comedian, was scheduled to be the act of the theater opening. Benny arrived in town during a snowstorm in November (I am certain that it was before he had

acquired his sidekick, Rochester, his wife Mary, or his Maxwell automobile). The theaters construction had not yet been completed, but the show went on under hardship conditions! Benny played both a matinee and evening show for five days, to the managers dismay that the shows were all the same! Years later, and after becoming famous, he and Bob Hope had a show on CBS in which they did a skit about Bennys Storm Lake experience. During the Great Depression years, bank robberies were sweeping the nation. On Jan. 24, 1934, the Ba r row Gang better known as Bonnie and Clyde (right) and their two cohorts drove into Rembrandt in their tan four-door Ford. It was 1:00 oclock in the afternoon. They entered the bank and, while holding three people hostage, robbed it of an undetermined amount of cash. When the gang departed the bank they took the bank clerk with them as a hostage until they dropped him off at the edge of town. The three hostages later reflected on how the gang was very professional, calm and courteous. They were very fortunate the Barrow Gang had robbed innumerable banks, killing 13 people in the process, nine of whom were police officers. The gang continued its rampage of bank robberies and killings until Bonnie and Clyde were killed in Louisiana in a hail of bullets by Texas and Louisiana police officers. During the Great Depression, Storm Lake was the site of at least two hobo jungles providing temporary refuge for transients riding the rails. Late one night one of the local citizens was camping out in one of the jungles. A train had just come in and stopped nearby. As the local citizen was eating his supper at his campfire, a young man appeared out of the shadows between railroad cars. Our citizen invited him to share his supper, as was the custom of the hobo jungles. The young man was reticent but polite and finally shared in the food, but stayed in the semi-darkness of the fringe of the firelight. The young man then thanked him for the hospitality and disappeared into the darkness. A week or so later, while using a newspaper to start his campfire, our citizen saw a picture of the same young man on the front page. He read the story. The young man was Donald Lammey, a confessed shotgun killer and fugitive wanted statewide with a price on his head. He was later captured and returned to Des Moines for trial. And our citizen camper had an interesting story to tell. Storm Lake was the site of a popular Chautauqua educational and entertainment facility and was visited by many notable national and international persons from about 1900 until the Great Depression diminished all but local activities. Such attractions included Paderewski (right) the internationally renowned pianist and composer; Booker T. Washington, African-American leader; William Jennings Bryan (right)

politician, orator; William Howard Taft, president, chief justice; James Whitcomb Riley, writer, poet, author; Billy Sunday, evangelist and innumerable other notables who contributed to the education and culture of the county. During the 1930s and 1940s, the popular and famous Cobblestone Ballroom attracted many of the famous orchestras during The Big Band Era. They brought the culture of the time and the appreciation of good music, as well as entertainment and recreation, to the region. Some of the nationally and internationally notable bands included Glen Miller, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Harry James, Louis Armstrong, Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington, Lawrence Welk, Sammy Kaye, Jan Garber, Eddie Howard, Russ Morgan and innumerable others. They were musicians of musical education, talent, knowledge, discipline and were otherwise true musicians who created and demonstrated the magic of orchestral music. The list of interesting famous and infamous visitors goes on and on, each of whom reflected different aspects of the culture, and who contributed in some way to the development of the society and its institutions. The county was an interesting place, in interesting times, evolving into the dynamic and diverse modern Buena Vista County of the 21st century.

Living within our means

ounties across Iowa are having a hard time keeping their roads and bridges up to date. Buena Vista County has more challenges than most with a higher number of paved miles than average. The State of Iowa has a purported shortfall of nearly $250 million because of declining road use tax revenues and increasing maintenance costs. People are driving less and cars are more efficient. Bigger cars that were lucky to get 20 mpg 10 years ago now notch 42 mpg on the highway. Chevy and Ford have plug-in vehicles, and Ford has a solarpowered car in testing. The problem of road use tax revenues is bound to get worse. Yet we continue to add paved miles, widen highways and refuse to give up on any dirt road. Rural counties are losing population but continue to maintain a road system designed for the horse-and-buggy era. In Pocahontas County, the board of supervisors lusts over wind turbine property tax revenue currently flowing to schools (PomeroyPalmer and Newell-Fonda, primarily). In BV County the supervisors are mulling an increase in the property tax levy for roads. Truth be told, we probably have twice the mileage in roads that we need. Four families do not live on a section these days. We have buried the four-row plow. We have farm tractors that could ford just about any landscape. Its not as if they need that B-level road. Iowans do not favor an increase in the fuel tax, polls indicate. Gov. Terry Branstad does not favor an increase. Farm Bureau does. The road construction lobby does. The Hwy. 20 expansion lobby does. We cannot afford all the roads we have. In the past, we could not afford not to have the web of gravel and asphalt roads leading to every nook and cranny. That road network was necessary to build the worlds most efficient granary. It is not so necessary now, thanks to larger farms and machinery. Road costs become a drain on efficiency in that they levy a tax on roads that are not used but for twice a season. First, BV County should start to vacate roads. Then people would know that this business about road-use revenues is for real. We could raise taxes this year and be forced to increase them again in a couple years as fuel consumption falls hurrah! We will have to come up with new revenue ideas, no doubt. All of them are deeply unpopular, such as toll roads or taxing electric vehicles at a higher rate (a tax on conservation?). The only course open to local counties is to start restricting the road network to what we actually need. That is a discussion that no Iowan wants to have. They would prefer to talk about how nice it is to hop on Hwy. 20 at Early and not see another car until Fort Dodge.

No, it could not happen here

Shared ignorance

either side can shoot straight. Thats why we still dont have a farm bill. First, the Republicans in the House held up passage of a farm bill for two years over an unrealistic demand to cut $40 billion in spending on food stamps. House and Senate negotiators knocked that number down to $9 million. So it appeared that the main legitimate sticking point had been cleared. Not so fast. Last week, House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R, Okla., reported that the farm bill probably will not pass in January as he had hoped. (The last farm bill expired Dec. 31.) Thats because the ranking member of the committee, Rep. Colin Peterson, D-Minn., insisted on a boost to the dairy program that House Speaker John Boehner has been running against for 23 years. Petersons move stalled the farm bill yet again. Good thing Peterson is a congress critter and not a brain surgeon. This thing was done until the Minnesotan mucked it up. Sure, everyone had to hold his nose while agreeing. But we need a farm bill for rural housing, sewer and water programs, a safety net for corn and cotton growers, a strong dairy program and, yes, nutrition programs for children, the poor and elderly. Peterson was never one to listen much to his own caucus in the name of getting something done. He gave former Senate Ag Committee Chairman Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, fits over the previous two farm bills. Its because Peterson, like so many Tea Party radicals, thinks of his own interests as being more important than those of the USA. Throw him out with Steve King and the nation will be better off.

ov. Terry Branstad was doing his level best Monday to play hospitable Iowan to Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey before the assembled statehouse press corps. Lets wait to see how this bridge scandal plays out. Christie was direct in his own press conference, expressed sadness and disappointment, and chopped off a couple heads for good measure. That is what I call leadership, Branstad said. And of course Christie is more than welcome to campaign for President in Iowa, the governor declared. Then one of those reporters asked Branstad, a direct and honest guy, if something like this could happen in Iowa. Branstad intimated that being governor is very hectic and you just cant know everything that is going on. So yes, it is possible these kinds of things can happen, Branstad said. Not in Iowa. First, we do not have the busiest bridge in the world run by New York and New Jersey political hacks. We have some impressive bridges. Never, ever, in a million years and that is how long he has been governor would someone from the Branstad Administration order the Hwy. 20 bridge to East Dubuque shut down at Iowa bar closing time just to get back at the mayor of Dubuque. It would create a traffic jam back to Strawberry Point. If the DOT or state patrol blocked off the bridge you can bet Branstad would know about it within five minutes. No, these kinds of things dont happen in Iowa. Thats one reason we prefer it to New

Jersey. The hottest political scandal in Iowa Branstad did not know about because he was not invited. A long time ago in Mingo a bunch of Democrats got together for a bachelor party with a woman in a red dress and bad things reportedly happened, the kind of stuff that is supposed to go on in East Dubuque. The fellows who sinned were run off from the Statehouse and seldom heard from again. I have a friend from Mingo who is still trying to restore his towns image. Iowans have an elephants memory. They remember Branstad telling not one but two troopers to step on it while the governor and his Siamese twin Kim Reynolds were riding in the big black SUV with top-secret license plates. Branstad claims that he was so busy in the back seat discussing important policy matters with his lady in waiting that those two different troopers must have exceeded the posted speed limit without his knowledge. The troopers were duly reprimanded and the governor expressed regret at his inattention. The governor did not reprimand himself or the lady in waiting. A more typical form of political retribution is for the Poca-

hontas County Sheriff to tell the dispatchers to quit listening to the Fonda police chief when the Fondite is outside the city limits. The Fonda chief took to Facebook to air his laundry with the sheriff. A senate hearing is not required. Fonda and Pocahontas County have a way of sorting these things out. It works like this: You leave Fonda alone and Fonda will leave you alone. The governor also probably was not aware that they were locking children in cells at the state juvenile home in Toledo for up to a year. This was not a political scandal. It is a human scandal. The governor fired some people and promised to close the state home for nondelinquent children with no home. So he took care of that problem. Scandals do happen in Iowa. Just not the political kind. We hope. Iowa Republicans already were skeptical of Christie. He runs well back in the pack among GOP activists who control the Iowa caucuses. For starters, he does not believe Earth literally was created in six days during normal business hours with no booze sales on Sunday. They didnt care about whether he closed a bridge into New York City. They just know he is not one of them. Scott Walker from Wisconsin is the sort of guy they can relate to: a squeaky clean penny pincher willing to bust a teachers union without knee-capping the mayor of Oshkosh. Christie went and hugged Obama. Thats the real scandal with the base. You just cant trust a guy like that. Branstad would never hug Obama.

Rubbering and telephones

ou are probably thinking what a strange name for a Cracker Barrel story. You are correct. This was the name given when people listened in on the phone conversations of other people. Years ago everyone shared phone lines, especially rural phone lines. Jeans parents had five other people on their phone line. Their phone number was 9F5. The nine was the phone number, the F was for farm and the 5 meant five rings. When I would call their number, I would hear receivers lifting and knew others were listening to our conversation. When I was done talking to her, I would say, Goodnight all, and then listen for the eavesdroppers to hang up. My parents lived in Missouri Valley and they had one other phone on their line. The other party used the line much more than they did. One day during a blizzard I was trying to call and see if Jean got home ok. She was a rural school teacher. The other party was on the phone. I told them it was an emergency but

CRACKER BARREL
they kept talking. I got the call through and Jean was safe and ok. She had been trying to get through to me to let me know she was safe. Years ago, telephone operators were like nurses, They often had to help people with problems. If you asked, they would give you the correct time. They did more than just say, Number please. One time I was trying to call our doctor but couldnt get an answer. I told the operator my problem and she said shed try to locate him. She got a hold of him at the golf course and he came to our home to take care of our son.

Years ago phone numbers were simple. The store I worked in had two phones. One had #43 and the other had #44. One business had phone #1. I dont remember what business it was but I can remember seeing it listed. Not long ago our home phone went haywire. I went to the Hy-Vee store to report the phone. No one works for the phone company in Storm Lake. I kept getting recordings telling me what to do next. After five recordings I finally talked to a human being. She was in Indiana working for the company. I told her how nice it was to talk to a person and not a recording. She said that a repairman working in Spencer would fix my phone. He came the next day and replaced our phone. With direct dial, cell phones and other changes, operators are all gone. We call this progress. The operators were a great asset to any town. A person could get a good job at the telephone company without going to college and so it goes.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Concern about police conduct
Today, I celebrate the fact that I feel totally protected by the Storm Lake Police. My daughter, who happens to be 4 foot 10 something, was stopped by one of our local finest. The officer first stated her crime was driving without a seatbelt on. He realized after getting to her car that she indeed did have her seatbelt on and changed his reason to not having the seatbelt on properly. How he deduced that is beyond me; since, due to my daughters lack of stature youd have to be in the car with her to confirm this egregious flaunting of the law. Did I mention this same officer almost pulled out in front of my daughter at the intersection just before this terrible crime? Does this reflect at all on his attention to detail? Did I mention this officer claimed my daughter admitted guilt to this criminal conduct when, in fact, the only conversation she had was in reference to her insurance card? Did I mention my daughter is Hispanic with dark hair and complexion driving a white SUV? Did I mention another police officer stopped my daughter just a short while ago for the same flagrant criminal behavior, but apologized when he discovered his mistake. Do I suspect profiling? Do I expect a fair and just outcome? Stalemate? Did I mention my daughters job depends on her having a drivers license and on having an exemplary driving record? My daughter knows this and would never knowingly break any motor vehicle law. Its quite apparent that the local police officers dont worry about this. Speeding, changing lanes without signaling, turning right or left without signaling, right turns on red without first coming to a complete stop, not wearing seatbelts and following too close for safety in adverse conditions are but a few of the violations Ive noted recently. Hell, I worry more about meeting one of our finest on the road than my daughter. Some of you might remember my incident with dodging a police car in front of Puffs last summer. Nearly ended up being a statistic due to his or her driving. Wouldnt it be interesting if all the readers of this letter would jot down the violations they note and report them all? Might be a safer place. Safer than worrying about whether my diminutive daughter put her seatbelt on properly. JON ITES Newell The Storm Lake Times welcomes your opinions.

OBITUARIES

Wilbur Carlson

Wilbur Carlson of Reeds Spring, Mo., died on Jan. 6, 2014 after complications of recent heart surgery. He was 77. Arrangements are pending at Stumpff Funeral Home in Kimberling City, Mo. Wilbur Leroy Carlson was born March 7, 1936 to George and Marie Carlson of Alta. Wilbur was referred to as the saint by his siblings for being the youngest and they said the favorite. Wilbur worked much of his adult life for Farmers Mutual Hail Insurance of Iowa, starting in 1960 as a field man and eventually state supervisor before early medical retirement in 1995. Wilbur re-married in January 1993 to Mary Everett. A loyal companion and a no-nonsense nurse, Mary would later need those skills to help Wilbur recover from multiple health scares. Wilbur and Mary lived in Stromsburg, Neb. When health issues forced an early retirement the couple moved to Reeds Spring, Mo. They lived a stones throw from Table Rock Lake and spent a lot of time fishing with Maxi, Dads dog. He was passionate about his work and fishing and was rumored to hire based on a mans boat over his skills. He once said Its not the

top skill Im after but it sure doesnt hurt a candidates chances. Did I say he loved fishing? Wilbur was a loyal friend and would go the extra mile with a stranger such as his work with AA and other self-help programs. He had an infectious smile and belly laugh that made you laugh. Wilbur leaves his wife Mary and her grown children: Tim and Joy Everett, Elizabeth City N.C., Jerry and Tracey of Reeds Spring, Mo., Mike and Amy Everett of Prospect Ky., and Janella Everett of Reeds Spring, Mo. Also ex-wife Kathryn Carlson of Deshler, Neb. and their adult children: Mike Carlson from Longmont Colo., Chip and Kendra Carlson, Centennial Colo., Greg and Shawn Carlson, Lincoln Neb., Carolyn Riley, Deshler Neb., Robert and Rebecca (Carlson) Makovicka of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; 20 adoring grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

ndrea Hogrefe of Albert City has always loved libraries. Now she is the director of Alta Public Library and also helps part-time at the Storm Lake Public Library. Ive always loved to read, Andrea commented. When I was in high school, I helped out in the library there. In college, they had me work in the library for my work-study job. So when I was struggling to pick a major, I thought, I like working in libraries. Now I like my position a lot. Ive always loved libraries plus I like helping people and I like information. Its like youre a detective, finding reliable information for people. I want to encourage everyone to come in and see us at the library, she added. If you dont read, we have computers. We have all kinds of resources for everyone. Andrea earned her BS degree at Iowa State University in 2004. She worked as circulation clerk at the Ames Public Library and the Johnson County Library in Shawnee Mission, Kan. as well as library director at Webb Public Library and assistant library director at Albert City. Andrea was also serials assistant at Creighton University Law School Library. Through the years, she has worked on a ranch in Montana, taught ESL one summer to Sripatum University students in Bangkok, Thailand and while in Omaha, was a volunteer with

the Big Sister program. I moved back because I was homesick for family, Andrea smiled. She moved to Albert City in August 2012 and became Alta Library director in December 2012. Andreas parents are Janeen and Dennis Hogrefe. Her sister, Julie Bjork, teaches at Albert City. Julie and her husband Chad Bjork have four children, from first grade to a senior. Her brother Clint is pastor of Oakdale Evangelical Free Church in Meriden. He and his wife Greta have three children. In her free time, Andrea enjoys reading and crocheting. Ive made blankets for most of my nieces and nephews. When I finish the blanket Im working on, I have one more to go, she explained. As for reading, I like non-fiction and fiction like Iris Johansen and Christian fiction. Lately, its been audio books because Im in my car zipping around. Andrea belongs to Albert City Evangelical Free Church where she teaches Sunday School to preschool and kindergarten students as well as high school students. I teach both ends, she smiled. These are Andreas favorite recipes.

Monday morning we did some secretarial work for some friends again. We really enjoy being secretaries. Its a lot of work but we enjoy it. Monday afternoon we finished up with our secretarial duties. We had an assembly line putting everything together. When we were done everything was where it should be. We were so glad of that. Tuesday morning we clipped more coupons for our military families overseas. As always our good friend Delean came over and helped us out. We are almost out of coupons and really could use some so if you know of anyone who has any bring them on in we will use them. Tuesday afternoon we had our Dice Bowl tournament for January.

A big thanks to Ralph, Don, Lola, Janet and Ann for taking the time to help us play our favorite game. After bingo we enjoyed coffee and cookies. Friday morning we played a card game from when we were younger. We played old maid. Boy did we have a lot of fun. I was the one who got stuck with the old maid card every game we played. Well, I guess if it had to be someone Im glad it was me! Friday afternoon we had church services with Pastor Marshall and his mom Carol played the piano. Thanks Pastor Marshall for sharing the word of the Lord with us. Thought for the week: Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

Little girl with big heart

Aurelia second grade teacher Ms. Kruger gave each student in her class an envelope with $5 inside. Before Christmas vacation she asked each student to give the money to someone they thought could use it best. Kayla Mongan visited Sunset Knoll Care and Rehab Center to donate her $5 to the facility. You might call Kayla the little girl with the big heart. Earlier she used her own birthday money to help purchase mittens and hats for school children. Kayla has compassion for others and enjoys making a difference in the world. This is the second gift of money the facility has received from the second grade class. Earlier, Jack Bloom donated his $5 to the facility.

Aurelia second grader Kayla Mongan and resident Anna Larsen.

A blizzard party has been planned for the second grade class and the residents on Jan. 21. There will be plenty of ice cream for everyone and many toppings to choose from. We think is wonderful to have young people in the community who make a difference in the lives of others. Thank you Kayla Mongan for making us smile.

Windbreak financial assistance available

Windbreaks are common sights around Iowa farms and acreages. A well-planned windbreak will help moderate hot and cold temperatures and save money for the home heating costs. Windbreaks should be located on the north and west sides of the area to be protected. Ideally, a windbreak would contain eight rows of trees and shrubs. Windbreaks play an important role in the protection of livestock, particularly in young animals and in areas with cold northerly winds during the winter and early spring. Properly placed windbreaks can provide benefits to feedlots, livestock pastures and calving areas. Reducing wind speed in winter lowers animal stress, improves animal health and increases feeding efficiency. Livestock windbreaks provide significant amounts of wildlife habitat, and protect the working environment in and around the livestock area. Each windbreak should be designed to meet the specific livestock operation. A well-thought-out and properly cared for windbreak protects livestock in both the winter and summer and will provide economic benefits to the landowner over the long term. Financial assistance is provided by Natural Resource Conservation Service. Resource Enhancement and Protection will assist landowners with 75% financial assistance up to $1,500 per landowner per year. Request for assistance may be applied at 1617 N. Lake Ave., Storm Lake or call at 732-3096 extension 3.

NOTES FROM YOUR ALTA LIBRARY

BY JOYCE SANDINE Happy New Year! 2014 is here. Its arrival has not been auspicious for me. After a wonderful time in the South (Tennessee) over Christmas, I came home to the reality of winter in Iowa. Not only the very low temperatures, but I also contracted a horrible cold. I dont get sick very often, but when I do, it really gets me down. This was a vicious head cold and I was miserable. So what is the best thing to do under these circumstances? Escape from them in the pages of a book, which was exactly what I did! I was sick long enough to enjoy, The Book Thief, Me Before You, The Children of Men, F is for Fugitive and Wait Till Next Year. A veritable feast. But now I am well again and am here to report on things at your library. New acquisitions include old favorites and new authors: Karen Kingsbury, Fifteen Minutes; Doris Kearns

HOME MOVIE FILM TRANSFERRED TO VIDEOTAPE OR DVD

You probably havent seen your home family movies shot years ago due to the fact that your projector hasnt worked for the last 10 years. Meanwhile the priceless movies gather dust and grow brittle as the years pass. Also the kids have grown and each child wants a copy of the family home movies. Bring the home movie film (8mm, Super 8mm or 16mm) to me and I can transfer all of the movies to videotape or DVD so all the children can have their own copy.

Applications available for Shirley Sorbe scholarship

Application forms for the Shirley Sorbe Memorial Scholarship are available at the Buena Vista County Farm Bureau office in Storm Lake. The Shirley Sorbe Memorial Scholarship is open to any high school senior residing in Buena Vista County planning to attend a vocational school, college or university. Deadline for applying for the Shirley Sorbe Memorial Scholarship is March 1. Scholarship applications have been sent to all the area high schools. They can also be obtained by contacting Nelda Nelson at the

www.stormlake.com

Buena Vista County Farm Bureau office, 1707 Lake Ave., Storm Lake or calling the Farm Bureau office, 732-4004. The Shirley Sorbe Memorial Scholarship was established by friends and family of Shirley Sorbe as a lasting tribute to an outstanding individual. She was a long-time resident of Buena Vista county having lived in the Alta and Rembrandt areas. She was an office assistant at the Buena Vista County Farm Bureau office in Storm Lake, starting her 39th year of employment when she passed away in 1995. The amount of the scholarship is determined by the interest earned on funds established for this purpose. Interest on this fund each year will be used to fund the scholarship program. The scholarship winner will be named this spring and the money presented in September.

SLIDES TRANSFERRED TO VIDEOTAPE OR DVD

Bring your slides to me and I will transfer them to videotape in the order that you desire. You determine how long you want each slide to appear on the final videotape. Instead of dragging out the old slide projector and setting up the movie screen. Simply pop the final videotape into your VCR and watch your slide show any time you want to. If you want a particular slide on longer, just hit the pause control on your remote control. I can make as many copies as you want for all members of the family to enjoy. The videotape comes complete with whatever title you wish and music. The slides are dissolved from one to another - that means that one slide fades while the other slide comes into view - which gives your videotape a truly professional look.

HAVE YOUR HOME VIDEOTAPES TRANSFERRED TO DVDS

I can transfer all types of videotapes, including VHS, VHS-C, Betamax, 8mm, Mini DV, and Digital 8mm videotapes to DVD. Your home videotapes quality deteriorates over time. To preserve your home videos forever have me transfer them to DVD.

BVU regroups in second half to finish off Loras

Beavers use 16-0 run to win by 13 points
Cole Darrow scored a gamehigh 18 points and Nick Clark added 14 as Buena Vista used a critical 16-0 run midway through the second half to take control and finish with a 77-64 victory over Loras last Saturday at Siebens Fieldhouse. A three-pointer by the Duhawks 6 minutes into the second half put them in front 50-46 before back-to-back layups followed by a 3-pointer by Darrow put BVU in front 53-50. The Beavers continued to pour it on, getting another three from Darrow to push it into double digits for the first time at 60-50 before Kennedy Dreys turn-around jumper in the lane made it 62-50 with 9:01 left.

Storm Lake cage teams struggle at LeMars

Game gets away from boys in third quarter
LeMars used a 16-0 run over the final few minutes of the first half and the entire third quarter to take control of the game as the Bulldogs outscored Storm Lake 52-27 in the second half to win 84-57 in a Lakes Conference game last Friday. Storm Lake led 16-11 after the first quarter, but LeMars made a 3-pointer with 2 seconds left to go in front 32-30 at halftime. It was 64-46 Bulldogs after three periods of play. Yach Deng scored 27 points to lead Storm Lake, now 1-5 in the league and 1-9 overall. Kuony Deng added 17. Ross Dewerff scored eight and Parker Lange five. Storm Lake was 11 of 13 from the free throw line. LeMars made 20 of 32. They hit three threes right out of the chute and it took us a long time to score, Storm Lake coach Bob Grant said of the third quarter. They started the quarter on an 11-0 run. Even as they got ahead, we had it down to 12 with 2 minutes left. We still had some chances at it, but we never could get back over the hump. They were better than us. They have a lot more depth. Jake Irwin led LeMars with 29 points. Tyler Borchers added 22. Fisher said. We were flat on both ends of the floor and couldnt locate their shooters. Right now we are struggling to put together two games in a row with a higher energy level. Rylee James led Storm Lake with five points and two steals. Teondra OBrien added four points and four rebounds. Dezirae Reyes, Haylee Lindquist, Madnsion Gaffney, Nyajouk Lam and Naomi Castillo all scored two points. Lam grabbed four rebounds. Reyes charted three assists and Gaffney tallied three steals. Storm Lake made 9 of 39 field goals for 23 percent.

Flat start hurts girls in 66-19 setback

LeMars scored the first 20 points of the game and the Bulldogs were never threatened after that as they went on to hand Storm Lake a 66-19 setback in a Lakes Conference game last Friday at LeMars. LeMars held a 22-2 lead after the first quarter. It was 44-5 at halftime and 56-13 heading into the fourth period. It was not a good night for the girls, Storm Lake coach Mel

The Titans held a 17-9 lead after the first quarter. It was 3720 at halftime and 60-31 heading into the fourth quarter. Riley Lenhart charted six points for the Panthers.

BOYS PREP BASKETBALL

Sioux Central cant recover from slow start

Christian Sylvester scored 18 points and handed out three assists, but it wasnt enough as Prairie Valley defeated Sioux Central 49-42 in a Twin Lakes Conference game last Friday at Sioux Rapids. Prairie Valley jumped out to a 12-7 lead after the first quarter and led 23-18 at halftime. It was 32-29 heading into the fourth period of play. Parker Habben had 15 points, 15 rebounds, three blocked shots and two steals for the Rebels, now 1-2 in the league and 3-5 overall. Tim Saunders added five points, 10 rebounds and two assists. Chris Ripke had four points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals. Karver Brown contributed three assists and two steals. Sioux Central was 16 of 57 from the field for 28 percent. We were not able to recover from a slow shart and Prairie Valley hit some big shots down the stretch, Sioux Central coach Stephen Tjaden said. We have to do a better job on offense of taking better shots, and as a coach, I have to do a better job of putting our guys in a position to succeed.

No. 1 Newell-Fonda too much for Pocahontas

Mustangs start fast in 60-50 triumph
Brady Dicks finished with 19 points, six rebounds and four steals to help send No. 1-ranked Newell-Fonda to a 60-50 win over Pocahontas Area in a Twin Lakes Conference game last Friday night at Newell. The Mustangs jumped out to a 16-10 lead after the first quarter. It was 34-24 at halftime and 44-36 entering the fourth period of play. Dalton Anderson netted 18 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals for the Mustangs, now 10-0. Brady Bohe added eight points and two steals. Adam Mullen had five points and four rebounds, while Dillon Anderson charted four points and four assists. Connor Wolterman tallied three points and three rebounds. Mason Scheidegger scored three points. Newell-Fonda made 23 of 60 field goals for 38 percent, including 5 of 21 from 3-point range. It was a tournament atmosphere with a full gym, NewellFonda coach Paul Loos said. We played a solid game defensively, holding a good Pocahontas Area team to 50. We didnt shoot well from the field, but credit has to go to Pocahontas for creating difficult shooting opportunities. We had solid performances from Brady Dicks and Dalton Anderson. We were able to force Pocahontas into 24 turnovers, which helped make a difference in the game. Free throw shooting and rebounds were almost equal. It was a good conference win for us.

Ridge View edged by Ar-We-Va in close Western Valley contest

Zach Tokheim finished with 12 points and nine rebounds, but it wasnt enough as Ar-WeVa got past Ridge View 55-54 in a Western Valley Conference game last Thursday night at Holstein. Ridge View held a 19-15 lead after the first quarter. It was 30-26 Ar-We-Va at halftime and 40-40 going into the fourth quarter of play. Jackson Graff netted 11 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals for the Raptors. Logan Richard had eight points, three assists and two steals. Daniel Jeckell tallied eight points and four rebounds. Noah Frahm contributed eight points and two rebounds. Garret Lamp charted seven points, five assists and two steals. Ridge View made 24 of 45 field goals for 53 percent. This was a good game for 31 minutes as both teams made runs at each other, Ridge View coach Ken Slater said. We were up five points with a minute left to go, but had a hard time closing the game out. All the credit goes to Ar-We-Va as they made the plays they needed for the win. Our guys executed offense pretty well except the second quarter and played pretty good defense for the majority of the game. Ar-We-Va is a solid ball club as they are still undefeated on the season, Slater added. We didnt win the game but we showed more improvement from our other games, so that is step in the right direction. We also learned some valuable lessons that will help us in tight games in the future.

Alta-Aurelia has little trouble dispatching Southeast Webster

Alta-Aurelia jumped out to an 18-4 lead after the first quarter and the Warriors were never threatened as they rolled to a 71-35 win over Southeast Webster-Grand in Twin Lakes Conference play last Friday at Alta. The Warriors, now 7-3, led 43-15 at halftime and 63-19 heading into the fourth period. Alex Larson led Alta-Aurelia with 11 points. Zach Sliefert had 11 points and two steals. Josh McCormick netted nine points, eight rebounds and two blocked shots. Ben Wetherell had nine points and four rebounds. Jayden VanBerkum scored eight points. Ross Friedrich and Kale Nelson each added five, Mitchel McDonald four and Sean Berg three. Jake Berg, Trey Sliefert and Jack Sliefert all scored two points. Jake Berg grabbed five rebounds and Jack Sliefert four. Trey Sliefert handed out three assists. VanBerkum came up with four steals. Alta-Aurelia made 26 of 61 field goals for 43 percent, including 6 of 20 from 3-point range. It was a good opportunity to get everyone on the roster some significant minutes, AltaAurelia coach Chris Abaray said. The goal for the starters was to execute early so we could get some different personnel looks into the game. Alex Larson came off the bench and hit three threes and looked pretty confident in doing so. He is someone who figures to see more time as this season goes on in certain situations. His commitment to getting better in practice is evident.

Stumbos efforts not enough for L-M

Tyler Stumbo finished with a game-high 28 points and added three assists and three steals, but it wasnt enough as Graettinger-Terril/Ruthven-Ayrshire knocked off Laurens-Marathon 54-46 in a nonconference game last Thursday night at Laurens. Graettinger-Terril/RuthvenAyrshire took an 11-8 lead after the first quarter. It was 24-22 Titans at halftime and 35-28 entering the fourth period of play. Laurens-Marathon managed to pull within two points late in the fourth quarter, but the Titans pulled away with a run to finish the game. Keegan Jamison scored seven points for the Chargers, now 3-6 overall. Chase Oehlertz chipped in with six. Tre Seiler scored three points and Riley Maschino two. Seiler grabbed four rebounds and handed out two assists. Jamison came up with two steals. Although it was a loss, there were a lot of positives from this game, Laurens-Marathon coach Brett Stumbo said. When we played them in December, we struggled both defensively and offensively. G-T/ R-A took a big lead early and never looked back in our first game against them. They have a nice team. This game, we were able to show a much-improved defensive effort along with better offense, Stumbo added. Our players are continuing to gain varsity experience and we our making adjustments in our game both offensively and defensively based on how the player and team development is coming along.

East Sac County too much for L-M

Tyler Stumbo scored 20 points and added eight rebounds and three assists, but it wasnt enough as East Sac County defeated LaurensMarathon 75-46 in a Twin Lakes Conference game last Friday at Laurens. The Raiders held a 17-10 lead after the first quarter. East Sac County outscored the Chargers 25-6 in the second quarter to take a 42-16 lead at halftime. It was 59-26 entering the fourth period. Keegan Jamison finished with 11 points for the Chargers, now 3-6. Riley Maschino scored seven points and Cahse Oehlertz four. Tre Seiler and Devin Grossnickle each had two points. Jamison and Seiler each grabbed two rebounds. Jamison also charted four assists and three steals.

Ridge View cant hold lead on No. 9 Ar-We-Va

Lexi Johnson scored 12 points, but it wasnt enough as ninth-ranked Ar-We-Va outscored Ridge View 28-8 in the fourth quarter to come away with a 43-33 win in a Western Valley Conference game last Thursday at Schaller. Ridge View led 8-6 after the first quarter. It was 13-11 Raptors at halftime and 25-15 after three periods of play. Paige Danner led Ar-We-Va with a game-high 29 points, including 20 in the fourth quarter. We improved in a number of areas as we were able to hold Ar-We-Va to 15 points in their first three quarters, Ridge View coach Tyler Phelan said. Unfortunately, everything in the fourth was the exact opposite. Ar-We-Va was able to take nearly every steal from their press and turn it into layup opportunities or were able to get to the free throw line. Our improvements were led largely to our team attacking the offensive glass, Phelan said. This was huge as our shooting percentage needs improvement. This gave us additional possessions and an aggressive attack to the hoop. I felt we should have taken care of the ball, especially when it came time for the game to be closed out. There is a reason that ArWe-Va is rated as high as they are, Phelan continued. We played great, but our girls are not satisfied. Theyll come back ready to work again and hungry to get a victory.

Mustangs win 57-52 in CNOS Classic
Newell-Fonda passed part II of its three-headed monster tests last week. The Class 1A No. 1-ranked Mustangs dropped a game to Class 2A No. 5-ranked Hinton for part I last Tuesday, but rebounded to beat Class 3A No. 5ranked Unity Christian 57-52 in the CNOS Foundation Classic last Thursday at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City. The game was tied 11-11 after the first quarter. The Mustangs led 30-28 at halftime and 40-35 entering the fourth period of play. This was another great test for us, Newell-Fonda coach Dick Jungers said. The opportunity to play at the Tyson Events Center against one of the top-ranked teams in 3A was great for us. We were able to create some problems for Unity and we found ways to score against their size and speed. Claudia Larsen led the Mustangs (9-1) with 14 points, 13 rebounds, three blocked shots and two steals. Renee Maneman added 13 points, seven rebounds, six assists and three steals. Maddi Morenz had nine points and Brianna Wells five points and two assists. Jordan Wilken, Jade Hess and Hailey Falline all scored four points. Taiyler Schrank and Abby Christensen each scored two points. Schrank also had four rebounds. I was very impressed how we found ways to be successful and to meet the challenges as they arose, Jungers said. Unity is a very good team. We did a much better job on the boards and limiting their second shot opportunities in the second half and that was a differencemaker in the game.

No. 1 Newell-Fonda ends challenging week with victory over Pocahontas Area
Renee Maneman poured in 30 points and added nine rebounds and four assists as No. 1-ranked Newell-Fonda ended a difficult week with a 55-40 win over Pocahontas Area in Twin Lakes Conference play last Friday at Pocahontas. The Mustangs, now 10-1, held a 17-13 lead after the first quarter. It was 34-18 at halftime and 46-26 heading into the fourth period of play. This was the third great challenge we had this week, Newell-Fonda coach DIck Jungers said. Pocahontas is a very dangerous and athletic team. They do a great job of working the ball around and hoisting up 3-pointers. Defensively, they played very aggressive and they did a lot of nice things. I was very pleased with our effort and intensity, Jungers added. We rebounded the ball well and found ways to get the ball where it needed to go. What a great crowd and environment. The atmosphere was electric and that heightened the game. Taiyler Schrank tallied nine points for the Mustangs. Claudia Larsen added six points, 13 rebounds, six assists and two blocked shots. Maddi Morenz charted five points and five rebounds. Jordan Wilken netted three points and three rebounds, and Abby Christensen had two points. Brianna Wells grabbed three rebounds. Newell-Fonda was 21 of 51 from the field for 41 percent, including 6 of 15 from 3-point range.

Sioux Central doubles up TLC foe Prairie Valley

Nicole Hamilton finished with 13 points, eight rebounds, four steals and two assists to help Sioux Central knock off Prairie Valley 53-27 in a Twin Lakes Conference game last Friday at Sioux Rapids. The Rebels led 16-5 after the first quarter. It was 26-10 at halftime and 40-20 heading into the fourth period. Bailey McGuire had 11 points and five steals for the Rebels.

Micah Barnes had another solid game for us and Jenna Snyder hit some big shots toward the end of the game. Izzy Hinkeldey and Tena Heschke played very good games in the low post and were a solid rebounding force.

Free throw disparity hurts Buena Vista in IIAC setback to Loras

Susan Kies scored a gamehigh 22 points while Shelby Wiederhoeft added 13 points and 10 rebounds, but it wasnt enough as Loras hung on for an 83-79 victory over Buena Vista last Saturday at Siebens Fieldhouse. Kies hit on 7-of-20 attempts from the field, including 4-of-8 from 3-point range to go along with six assists. Wiederhoeft finished 4-of-8 from the field and 5-of-5 at the free throw line. Lexi Fisher hit four 3-point baskets in the game and tallied 16 points while grabbing five rebounds. Malarie Gilley contributed 11 points while posting a game-high four blocked shots. Loras used a 9-0 run early on to take a 19-10 lead before going in front 23-13 midway through the half. The Beavers hung around and pulled back even at 34-34 on a Kies 3-pointer with 3:37 remaining. The game was back-andforth the rest of the period with the Duhawks clinging to a 41-40 lead at intermission. Kies put BVU in front by five at 50-45 with another three just half. BVU pulled within three at 60-57 when Kies hit yet another three and tied the score at 65-65 on a Lacey Vokt three with 5:24 left. Loras, who attempted 27 more free throws than BVU in the game, scored 12 of their final 18 points at the charity stripe to secure the win. BVU shot 43 percent from the field, including 9-of-22 from 3-point range while also sinking 16-of-19 at the free throw line. The Duhawks (7-6, 2-0 IIAC), meanwhile, shot 45 percent from the field, but scored 34 points at the free throw line in 46 attempts. In the end, we could not overcome the free throw deficit, Buena Vista coach Janet Berry said. I thought we really did some good things but just could not close it out. We really need to play for 40 minutes. Our league is really balanced top to bottom. We just need to keep fighting and we will be fine. Buena Vista dips to 6-7 overall (0-2 IIAC) and will play at Simpson today.

record eight points and grab five rebounds. Nick Wuebker finished right behind Heitkamp with seven rebounds. We played very well defensively, Buena Vista coach Brian Van Haaften said. Our 5 men, Brett Heitkamp and Nick Wuebker, had very good defensive games. Our offense was just good enough, but we need to improve in that area. We did not have great movement. To our guys credit, they did a great job of coming back in the second half and playing both ends with a better sense of urgency. BVU improves to 7-6 overall (2-0 IIAC) and will play Simpson today at Indianola.
