� e 2015 session of the Iowa Leg-islature has concluded with compro-mises and important steps forward, according to Senator Kevin Kinney of Oxford. “Helping Iowa’s working families dominated my work during this session,” said Kinney. “While more could and should have been done, I agreed to compromise rather than be stuck in political gridlock. My e� orts did help increase funding for local schools; extend the college tuition freeze for a third year; improve Io-wa’s infrastructure and create jobs; and balance the state budget respon-sibly.” Kinney said work needs to be done during the next legislative session to create more opportunities and ex-pand Iowa’s middle class. “Next year, our � rst step must be to do more for education. Educational opportunity helps Iowans get ahead and we count on our schools’ grad-uates to become the next generation of Iowa community leaders, workers and entrepreneurs,” said Kinney. � e 2015 session was the � rst of the 86th General Assembly of the Iowa

Legislature. Bills approved this year by only one chamber are still eligible for debate in the second year of the session, which begins next January. “� e Senate approved several bills, many with strong bipartisan sup-port, that have yet to be debated by the Iowa House,” said Kinney. “I’m proud to have helped the Senate pass tougher laws against wage the� , an increase in the minimum wage, an-ti-bullying legislation that is strong-ly supported by Governor Branstad, and a responsible, highly-regulated approach to medical cannabis to help su� ering Iowans.” � e new state budget and most new legislation will take e� ect begin-ning on July 1, 2015. “Many people from my district contacted me during the session with ideas, suggestions and concerns,” said Kinney. “During the coming months, I’ll be discussing this year’s accomplishments at meetings and in my newsletter, listening to local con-cerns and preparing for 2016. I can be reached at Kevin.Kinney@legis.iowa.gov or (319) 631-4667.”

� e Department of Veterans Af-fairs (VA) will conduct a series of one-day events to raise awareness and celebrate the stories of women Veterans. � e events, to be held in � ve locations across the country, will provide an overview of services and bene� ts available to women Veter-ans. Experts will be available to an-swer Veterans’ questions, and exhib-itors will share information on their many resources. “We have found that our women Veterans o� en put the needs of oth-ers’ � rst,” said Elisa Basnight, Direc-tor of VA’s Center for Women Vet-erans (CWV). “We encourage them to make themselves a priority, to learn about the bene� ts and services which they’ve earned through their dedicated service. We are bringing our experts to them, where they are.”  VA sta� , as well as local communi-ty supporters and agencies that assist women Veterans, will be available for face-to-face interaction. All VA facil-ities are encouraged to participate in activities to celebrate and honor the women who answered the nation’s call.  � e scheduled events and local activities are part of a new nation-al VA campaign, Women Veterans: Celebrating Our Stories of Service, which launched in late March 2015. � e vision for the national VA cam-paign was born out of the realization that when our women Veterans from all eras and generations surrender the uniform, they retain the intan-gible—that combination of resolute resilience and the unbeatable skills they will incorporate into their rein-tegration and readjustment process. 

� rough this campaign, CWV will be engaged in going to these wom-en Veterans to raise the awareness of VA’s commitment to them, and to fa-cilitate the conversation around what more needs to be done in serving the unique needs of women Veterans.

� e sessions for women Veterans will be held between June and Sep-tember at the following locations: St. Petersburg, FL – June 12, 2015 San Diego (Oceanside), CA – July 10, 2015 Houston, TX – August 7, 2015  Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN  – Sep-tember 14, 2015 Washington, DC –  September 22, 2015 

Women Veterans represent one of the fastest growing segments of the Veterans population—about 9.2 per-cent of the total Veterans population. Today there are an estimated 2 mil-lion women Veterans nationwide. VA continues to improve bene� ts and services for women Veterans and is diligently transforming its culture to embrace this growing pop-ulation, through other collaborative initiatives with Federal/state/local governmental and non-governmen-tal stakeholders.For more information about VA’s Women Veterans Campaign and VA’s commitment to women Veter-ans, visit www.va.gov/womenvet.

Letter to the Editor: � e School Improvement Adviso-ry Committee and the School Board have had discussions on improving the facilities at both the elementary and high school. � ese improvement projects are normally funded by PPEL. � e PPEL (pronounced “peb-ble”) levy is a levy that can be used for a number of expenditures including construction of buildings, purchas-ing property, buses and technology equipment, and energy conservation expenditures. � e PPEL levy cannot be used for sta� salaries or supplies – those expenditures must come from the school district’s General Fund. � ere are two types of levies under PPEL. � ere is a Board Approved PPEL that the board has to be ap-proved every year at a tax rate of $0.33 per thousand of valuation. � e Board Approved levy generates about $50,000 per year to use towards the expenses list above. � e second levy is known as a Voted PPEL and this is voted on by our community mem-bers and is in e� ect for 10 years. � e Voted PPEL would be taxed at a rate of $1.34 per thousand valuation. A Voted PPEL would allow the district to complete several projects that cannot be completed due to the lack of funds generated by the Board Approved PPEL. Some of the proj-ects that the School Improvement Advisory Committee, Sta� and Ad-ministration team have identi� ed are a remodeled chemistry room, playground, upgraded classrooms and hallways, purchase of new buses,

roof replacement and improve the track and athletic areas. If the dis-trict had a Voted PPEL this would help with the purchase of new buses, which cost about $80,000 per bus or a remodeled chemistry room that is estimated to cost around $50,000. As you can see the Board Approve PPEL does not generate enough to make sure we have safe and modern bus-es and classrooms for our students. � e district has done a tremendous job on managing the facilities with the funding available, but there is a need to ensure our buildings are in the best condition possible for our students. � e district does not take lightly by asking our community to con-sider a Voted PPEL, but we are in a situation where we could improve our facilities without initially raising taxes. Our district is committed to providing the highest quality edu-cation to the students of our district and I encourage you to contact me at dave.harper@sigourneyschools.comif you have questions about the use of these funds.

Treasurer Fitzgerald Urges Iowans to be on the Lookout for the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt

Michael L. FitzgeraldState Treasurer of Iowa(515) 281-5368 • treasurer@iowa.gov • www.treasurer.state.ia.us

� is week, State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald is encouraging Iowans across the state to be on the lookout for the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt an-nual spring publication. “We are cur-rently holding more than $295 mil-lion for over one million accounts,” Fitzgerald stated. Fitzgerald encourages all Iowans to check their local papers and see if their name or the name of some-one they know is listed. “� e more people that know about the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt, the more mon-ey we are able to return,” Fitzgerald stated. “New unclaimed property is added every year, so even if you have claimed property in the past, it could be worth your time to search GreatIowaTreasureHunt.com and see if there is new property waiting for you to claim.” � e Great Iowa Treasure Hunt pro-gram has returned over $190 million

in unclaimed property to more than 457,000 people since Fitzgerald cre-ated it in 1983. Unclaimed property refers to money and other assets held by � nancial institutions or compa-nies that have lost contact with the property’s owner for a speci� c peri-od of time. State law requires these institutions and companies to an-nually report unclaimed property to the state treasurer’s o� ce. � e assets are then held until the owner or heir of the property is found. Common forms of unclaimed property include savings or checking accounts, stocks, uncashed checks, life insurance pol-icies, utility security deposits, and safe deposit box contents.Visit the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt at GreatIowaTreasureHunt.com to be-gin your search. Be sure to like Great Iowa Treasure Hunt on Facebook and follow the program on Twitter @GreatIATreasure.

Arlene Mae Tinsley Arlene Mae Tinsley, 81 years of age, passed away May 31, 2015 in the early morn-ing at Community Hospice McGraw Center in Jacksonville, Fla. Arlene fought breast cancer since 1985 until recently in 2014 when the cancer attacked her again and after chemotherapy it spread to her liver causing her death. Arlene was born to Lester and Helen Liter in Pella, on December 21, 1933. She had a happy childhood in Pella and especially liked tulip time and the tulip festival in the spring. She liked to swim and spent her summer days at the Pel-la swimming pool. She was very proud of her Dutch ancestry. At the age of 11, she moved to Afton and attended Afton schools and graduated from Afton High School in 1951. She became interested in sports at Afton High and was a four-year starter on the Afton basketball team as well as playing on the softball team. After graduating from Afton she attended and graduated from a business school in Omaha, Neb. to become a secretary and operate business machines. She then accepted a secretarial position with a company in Des Moines and worked there for three years. Sixty years ago in 1955, Arlene married Ronald Tinsley who was also originally from Iowa, but was living in Chicago, Ill. Arlene moved to Chicago and began the life of raising a family and becoming a homemaker. Over the following years Ar-lene and Ronald had four sons. They were Curtis Randall, Scott Evan (deceased after birth), Scott Arnold and Todd Alexander. Until recently all three of the sur-viving sons lived in the Jacksonville, Fla. area. Todd and his family recently moved to Concord, N.C. These three sons produced a total of nine grandchildren and one great grandchild. Curtis Randall (Shannon and Emily), Scott Arnold (William and Ryan), Todd Alexander (Taylor Alexander, Katrina, Alyssa, Helen and Pearl). Since all three sons were involved in club and high school sports, Arlene and Ronald spent most of their leisure time either at sports events or practices. Arlene liked to play the piano and enjoyed music of all types. Both Curt and Scott were able to play several instruments because of Arlene’s interest in music. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother and will be dearly missed by all. The family will have a visitation Wednesday, June 3rd from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at Hard-age-Giddens Funeral Home, 1701 Beach Blvd., Jacksonville Beach, Fla. The me-morial service will be held Thursday, June 4th at 11:00 a.m. at Ponte Vedra United Methodist Church at 76 S. Roscoe Blvd., Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. with Pastor Jeff Bennett presiding. Burial will follow in H. Warren Smith Cemetery, Jacksonville Beach, Fla.

Tales of the Ancient SportsmanBy Burdell Hensley

Welcome to summer with its heat, humidity, gnats and other assorted pests. It has been a good week on the baseball and softball diamonds with lots of games played and few if any cancellations. I was at Pella Christian Monday night for the PC – Pleasantville game. It was a good game with the Trojans riding the pitching of Josh Luna to a 3-0 win. Tuesday I was in Oskaloosa for the Osky – Knoxville game. Osky used great pitching by Peyton Crouse, sharp defense and timely hitting to upset the unbeaten Panthers 8-4. Wednesday I witnessed one of the finest high school games that I have seen in some time when I covered the Pella – Dallas Center Grimes game at Pella. It was a classic pitch-ing duel between DC-G’s Cole Baker, an Iowa recruit, and Pella’s Tanner Wood. Pella scored an unearned run in the first with a hit, a walk, a hit batter and an error and that would be the only run of the game. Thursday I went to Albia for a dou-ble header with Osky. The Indians won 12-2 and 9-1 and grandson Lo-gan had a good pair of games. Friday night the Indians swept a pair from Pella Christian 1-0 and 7-3. I didn’t get to see those games as we were on our way to southern Missouri for a Hensley family reunion. I was able to listen to most of the games as I picked up KBOE all the way to Brookfield, MO. Although I didn’t cover any softball last week, we do have some teams in the area that are doing quite well. Oskaloosa is ranked No. 2 in Class 4-A, and the Indians took a 4-1 win from Pella Christian Friday. The Ea-gles are ranked No. 6 in Class 2-A and Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont is ranked No. 7 in 2-A. The Rockets had a huge 8-1 win over SCC rival Clarke this week.

There was another baseball per-formance in the area last week that I feel was phenomenal. Pekin’s Keaton Winn pitched a perfect game in a 5-0 win over Lone Tree. The incredible thing is that Winn struck out 20 of the 21 batters he faces. Shucks, his fielders had just as well have brought their lawn chairs to the game. The family reunion was an invigo-rating time with family and friends that I may see only once a year. It was also a reminder that I am a part of the last generation. There were only two family members there that were older than I. And to rub it in a little, this Tuesday I will celebrate my 75th year on this planet. My eyes first saw the light of day on June 9, 1940 in my grandparent’s house at the intersection of highways 92 and 48 in Griswold, Iowa. I was the first grandchild and we were poor. I had no crib, so they wrapped me up and laid me in a suitcase. For that reason, I have declared that I was born to travel. I have told this story before, but at 75 I have earned the right to re-peat my stories. The city fathers in Griswold have erected a monument over my place of birth. It is a Casey’s General Store and what goes better with travel than a Casey’s. So if you should happen to pass through Gris-wold on highway 92, stop and leave your respects. Their donuts are good. The news this week has been too much of Fred Hoiberg and Bruce Jenner. I will deal with the Jenner fiasco first. Bruce Jenner was one of my he-roes back in the 70’s when he was the Olympic Decathlon champion. He and the liberal media are trying to sell the idea that for him to become a woman is perfectly normal. Hog-wash! God’s take on it is found in the first chapter of the book of Romans and I will stand by that rather than the media ideas. I will never refer to

Jenner as anything but Bruce. God created us as we are and He doesn’t make mistakes. Now Fred Hoiberg. I have a hard time understanding why a guy would leave a place where he is treated as deity to go to a place where he is hired to be fired. In Ames, Fred had a perpetual honeymoon going, but in Chicago the honeymoon could be short. I feel that Fred should collect all of that 25 million, invest it and then retire for life. Sunday evening we thoroughly en-joyed a trip down to Union Liberty Church near Bussey for a concert by the Bluegrass Blondies. The Amos family from Ottumwa is a Blue-grass group of Dad, Mom and three daughters and they do a very nice job. It is always fun to go to Union Liberty as many of my former stu-dents from both Eddyville and Twin Cedars are there. That makes it extra special. Let’s take that little stroll through our yesterdays. 75 years ago: June 14, 1940- Rose Hill blanks Leighton 4-0 in fast pitch softball. Don Wisse tossed a two-hit-ter for the Hillmen and he slugged a homerun to break a scoreless tie. June 14- The Keokuk County Base-ball League will operate this summer with teams entered from Hayes-ville, Farson, Webster, Barnes City, Sigourney and South English. June 15- Oskaloosa downed Albia 18-7 in town team women’s softball. Mildred Farrington blasted a home run and a single while Crist belted two dou-bles and a single and V. Scull added a double and a single. 50 years ago: June 8, 1965- Pella Christian advances in the Adel Softball Tourney with a 21-15 win over Urban-dale in nine innings. Ruth Van Ee led the Eagles with two homeruns and a triple. June 8- Eddyville edges Ottum-wa Walsh 5-4. Jerry Schleier and Jim Powell split the pitching chores with

Pow-ell getting

the win. Ted Gal-

lagher, Rick Schleier and Jer-

ry Schleier had hits for the Rockets. June 9-

Oskaloosa Connie Mack sinks - Legion 4-3 on a two

out two run homer by Tom Rhoades in the seventh. June 12- Sigourney rolls past Belle Plaine 17-2. Dave Tremmel tossed a three-hitter for the win and Randy Wiley led the offense with two singles and a double. June 15- Pekin girls romp past West Burlington 24-5. Carol Ann Brown pitched the win and Susie Myers blasted a home run and a single. 25 years ago. June 9, 1990- North Mahaska’s Jim Hicklin raised his record to 3-0 with an 8-4 win over CMB. Hicklin also smashed a home run and a double. Brett McGriff dou-bled and singled and Andy Linden-man and Laird Dahm each poked a pair of singles. June 11- No. 1 ranked Pella Christian edged Ottumwa 3-2 for the Eddyville Softball Tourney ti-tle. Emily Grimes scattered five hits and Karen Vande Voort drove in a pair of runs. June 12- Troy Vander Molen pitched a four hitter and rapped a triple and a double as Pella Christian ripped Twin Cedars 11-1. June 15- North Mahaska girls belt-ed Lynnville-Sully 13-2. Amy Smith pitched a four-hitter for the win and Nikki Upton, Angela Conover, Tam-my Boughton and Smith each had two hits. Have a wonderful week and be sure to support your favorite team.

Ponderings of the HeartJane Green Larson

Seldom do I get my dander up (Webster says dander means to make angry; lose, or lose one’s temper), but after reading one of my favorite newspapers, The Des Moines Regis-ter, this morning, my dander is up! Seldom do we get a weekday Des Moines paper, but always the Sunday paper as it is delivered to our door. My husband surprised me today with a paper. I suppose you can say I like it because living in Des Moines 50 years we usually brought a paper on the way to work. On any given day, one of my favorite columns is the “Two Cents Worth.” I suppose the title tells you what it is about without any further explanation. People from all over Iowa write in or call in their “Two Cents Worth.” Included in the column this morning was a small

article from an Iowa City Guy who said now that school is out, many children will be hearing the dreaded words, “Time for Bible School.” Now, possibly it is because I have been spending much time in organiz-ing the What Cheer Baptist Church’s Vacation Bible School curriculum and even more time praying for vari-ous individuals who plan to attend - I prefer to write our own Bible Studies and I try to gear it to what the chil-dren are concerned about in the com-munity. We are having four different age groups this year, “Pre-School to first grade, 1st grade to 3rd grade, 4th grade to 6th, and we’ve added a class, 7th grade and up!” We have some Ju-nior High and High School students that will be helping us with many of our activities so we added a class for the helpers! The title of our three-day program will be, “He’s Got the

Whole World In His Hands.” We are also adding a new Puppet class that we are calling Bible Theater for those who are interested in performing a daily skit. We’ll have a new Kitchen “Gospel” Band, a Bell Choir and a tambourine brigade, lots of new Bible Choruses with a newly printed chorus book, recreation, crafts, all with the main emphasis of Bible teachings. Of course, we can’t forget about refresh-ments, we’ll be serving the Kids Club’s favorite recipes! How will we get it all in is what my husband wants to know, I said, “for the first time, we are going to have many options for the partic-ipants!” I am so excited, I can hard-ly wait for July 15, 16 and 17 to roll around. I have prayed much, studied, prepared and organized and I pray when the What Cheer Communi-ty hears that we are having Vacation Bible School, I don’t believe in any

child’s mind it is going to be “dreaded words.” However, first things first, we have four boys going to the East Bible Camp, Rural Route, Deep River be-fore Bible School begins! I must be patient! I know I shouldn’t allow my dander to get up, right? As I had devotions this morning, I see that I have cir-cled, Ephesians 4:26 in my Bible, want to know what it says? “Be ye angry, and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” Indeed, I am sor-ry that “Iowa City Guy” (that is how he signed his article in his two cent’s worth writing, has never looked for-ward to daily Vacation Bible School! I wish I knew his name and address, I would invite him to attend. My prayer is that he is blessed today. Hey, I pray you are blessed too! See you next week, same time, same place!

Just ReminiscingHilda Souer

Earlier I’ve shared some clippings we’d kept for several years. I’m sure most of you readers enjoy a good laugh and keep the clippings also. The following is one we’d kept not only from years ago, but also when there were more trains. Here’s hop-ing you’ll also have a good laugh after reading it.

Stolen Laughter

Three Hillbillies from Arkansas and three Texans are traveling by train to the Super Bowl in Flori-da. At the station, the three Texans each buy a ticket and watch as the three Hillbillies buy just one ticket between them. “How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?” asks one of the Texans. “Watch and learn,” answers one of the Hillbillies. They all board the train. The Tex-ans take their respective seats but all three Hillbillies cram into a toi-let and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train departed, the conductor comes around collect-ing tickets. He knocks on the toilet

door and says, “Ticket please.” The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The Texans see this and agree it was quite a clever idea. After the game they decided to copy the Hillbillies on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that). When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Hillbillies don’t buy a ticket at all! “How are you going to travel without a ticket?” says one of the Texans. “Watch and learn,” answers the Hillbilly. When they board the train the three Texas cram into a toilet and soon after, the three Hill-billies cram into a toilet close by. Shortly afterward, one of the Hillbillies leaves the toilet and walks over to the toilet, where the Texans are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, “Ticket please.”

Now if you have ever ridden a train, I doubt this was something you or a family member did.

It has been quite a week; first it rained, then it stopped a while, and then rained some more. Good for the crops. Leigh Armstrong’s beans on our place are up and going. Pam Flanders and her little grandson Jordan and I went to Grinnell and shopped at Second Mile and Goodwill and had lunch at McDonald’s. Jordan got a nice truck and loves to go shopping. He is a cute little kid and has curly hair. My cousin Dennis Wolf has or-dered books printed of the one he put together of our ancestors on the Wiedow side. My family is all getting one. Dennis did a super job in making them. David Maxwell preached in Mill-ersburg, so he wasn’t at the Deep River Church. Jean Fisher and her sister Ellen Zimmerman went to Kansas City for a few days. Fern Taylor’s brother and sister-in-law visited her recently. Millersburg had 100 at their get-together Saturday. Tuesday Ellen Zimmerman and I went to North English Nurs-ing Home for music. Lori Wolf ’s mother came over from the as-sisted living apartment and visit-ed with us. While there we visited with a friend who will be 100 years old soon, she doesn’t look over 70! She likes the old tunes we do. Kenny Fayer and I went to Chari-ton to check out a bail trailer. We ate lunch at McDonald’s on the way home. Kenny’s son, Ron and wife Kristie, came to our house for sup-per and we had a nice visit. Dolly (our little dog) entertained as usu-al. They were stopping at Malcom Cemetery to put a real neat deal on his mother’s and sister’s graves. It lights up and changes colors in the dark. On his sister Linda’s grave he had a neat little angel that lights up too. My son Steve called me this week and said Trudy is still at Her broth-er’s in Davenport. Emily Roberts and Allison War-wick joined the United Church of Deep River Sunday and did most of the service. Gwin Rick and her sister Marilyn Warwick went to the dance recital of Marilyn’s grand-daughter, Tarah. She went with her grandma “Gah Gah”, that is what she calls Grandma Kim, who she is spending a few days with her. Tyler Gieger did the “Special Mu-sic” at the United Church of Deep River Sunday. Quite a crowd was there. The What Cheer Opera House is hosting a Variety Show on Satur-day, August 1. This is not a com-petition, just a fun night!! Entry deadline is July 14.

Panthers Improve to 3-4 with Two Conference Wins

Pekin Baseball Off to a Sizzling Start

By Adam MeierRegional Sports Editor

The early season conference schedule for the English Valleys boys hasn’t been especially diffi-cult but, nonetheless, the Bears are steamrolling everyone in their way so far. The Bears picked up two more SICL wins last week, bringing their season run differential in con-ference play to ‘+ 48’. After wins against HLV and North Mahaska last week, EV has now outscored its SICL opponents 52-to-4. Coach Jeremy Thomas’s Bears got the chance to play in Cedar Rapids last Tuesday, at Veteran’s Memorial Stadium, against HLV. The Bears absolutely scolded the ball, finishing with three triples, two doubles and a homerun. In addition to the big time offense, EV got a six-inning no-hitter from senior Adam Kerkove. Kerkove struck out 13 batters and walked just two, in the 10-0 win. The Bears got off the bus swing-ing, scoring two runs in the first in-ning, before tacking on three more in the fourth and four in the sixth. Senior Cody Seaton had a game he’ll never forget. The third base-man went three-for-four with a triple, four RBIs and an inside-the-park homerun that hit high off the left field wall. The Bears also got triples from Andrew Kerkove and Brennen Grimm, along with a double from Casey Blaylock and two hits from Tanner Icenbice.

EV finished things off in confer-ence play last week with a 14-3 win at North Mahaska. On the mound, Grimm went five innings, giving up two hits while striking out nine. At the plate, Grimm went three-for-five with two runs and two doubles. Andrew Kerkove also finished the day with three hits, while driv-ing in three. Icenbice and Adam Kerkove also had two hits on the night, giving the Bears 13 for the game, to go along with singles by Davis Axmear, Sheldon Ealy and Seaton. The Bears capped their play last week in tournament play at Wilton on Saturday. Against Mediapolis in their first game of the day, the Bears got a homerun from Grimm – his third of the season – and a no-hitter from Adam Kerkove – his second of the season – in a 5-1 win. Kerkove struck out seven and walked none in the win; only de-fensive miscues by the Bears cost the senior a perfect game. The Bears scored three times in the first, before adding runs in the third and fourth. Tanner Icenbice and Andrew Kerkove also added hits for EV, as did Adam Kerkove, who doubled in a run. English Valleys (5-1, 4-0) played at Belle Plaine on Monday and hosted Lynnville-Sully on Friday. The Bears then play at Montezuma on Friday, before playing at Sigour-ney on Monday, June 15.

The Pekin varsity baseball team has gotten off to a terrific start this sum-mer. After beating Mediapolis, 3-2, in the season opener, the Panthers have won four of their last five games and already sit with a 5-1 record, includ-ing a perfect 4-0 in conference play. Last Monday the team traveled to Lone Tree and was part of a perfor-mance that can’t really be described in one word. “Phenomenal”, “Elec-tric”, or downright “Perfect” each describe the performance of junior pitcher Keaton Winn pretty well last Monday at Lone Tree. Winn was nearly as perfect as per-fect can be, striking out 20 of the 21

batters he face, while allowing no hits, no walks and no base runners. Winn threw a perfect game, helping Pekin win 5-0, and was one ground-ball short from striking out every single batter he faced. In addition to all of that, Winn went two-for-three at the plate with a two-run double and three RBIs. Cole Reighard also added two hits, while Joel and Ryan Swanson each had sin-gles. The Panthers continued their mo-mentum from the Lone Tree game into the next night, when they host-ed IMS. In their first home game of the year, the Panthers rattled off nine hits, in-cluding three from Reighard, in their 11-10 win.

Pekin entered the bottom of the sixth trailing by a score of 9-6, but scored five runs over the last two in-nings to get the walk-off win. Jake Huff and Ryan Swanson add-ed two hits apiece for Pekin, while Chase Copeland went one-for-four with a run. Sophomore Garrett Greiner got the win, going three and one-third innings, allowing three hits, one earned run and striking out four. Coach Pie Reighard’s Panthers then got an easy 21-6 win the next night at WACO. Pekin entered the top of the sev-enth leading 13-6, before exploding for eight runs in the final frame. Trever Northup led the offensive charge for Pekin, going three-for-five

with four runs scored. Huff, Winn and Joel Swanson each added two hits for the Panthers, while Chase Copeland got the win, striking out eight batters in four innings of work. Over the weekend the Panthers picked up a nonconference win against North Mahaska in Eddyville, 8-6, be-fore losing 4-0 to Pella Christian. The team got a terrific start from junior Drew Wells against North Mahaska. Wells went six innings, allowing three hits and four earned runs, while striking out six. The Panthers hosted Louisa-Mus-catine on Monday, before playing at Winfield-Mt. Union the next night. The team then plays at Wapello on Thursday and hosts Highland on Fri-day, June 12.

The Pekin varsity softball team notched a couple of much-needed wins in SEISC North play last week. After losing three of their first four games of the season, the Panthers railed off back-to-back wins to start last week, beginning with a 7-2 road win at Lone Tree. Pekin entered the fourth trailing 2-1, but finally managed to get its offense going. The Panthers went off for three runs in the top of the fourth, followed by one run in each of the last three in-nings. As a team, the Panthers tallied ten

hits, including four doubles. Catcher Sloan Reighard accounted for two of those doubles, while Madelyn Baker and Bridget Fritchen had one apiece. Courtney Comstock and Emily Bemis also added two hits each. In the circle, sophomore Ashlyn Zook threw well, giving up seven hits, no earned runs and no walks in seven innings of work to get the win. Zook was nearly as effective the next night, as she tossed three innings of three-hit ball in Pekin’s 14-2 win over IMS. After not scoring in the first, the Panthers went crazy in the next two innings. The team scored six times in

the second and ended the game early by plating eight more runs in the third. Kaylee Linder scored three times for the Panthers, while Baker, Comstock and Fritchen each scored twice. Zook led the way with three hits for the Panthers, while Fritchen went two-for-three and Reighard drove in three runs. Pekin ended its week on Friday against a solid Davis County squad that plays against primarily 2A and 3A schools. The Pekin offense was shut down by 8th-grader Abby Vaughn, who gave up just five hits in seven innings. After trailing 2-0 heading into the

bottom of the third, the Panthers got on the board when Reighard, who had two hits on the night, scored from third on a wild pitch. That was the only of-fense the team could generate, though. The Mustangs made play after play in the field, preventing the Panthers from developing any serious scoring threats. Davis County tacked on two runs late in the game and held on for the 4-1 win. The Panthers hosted Louisa-Musca-tine on Monday and played at Win-field-Mt. Union on Tuesday. The team then goes to Wapello on Thursday, June 11, before hosting 5th-ranked Highland on Friday.

Trojans Triple Win Total in One Week

By Adam MeierRegional Sports Editor

Coming off of a 15-0 loss to Belle Plaine to end the month of May, the Tri-County varsity softball team needed to start the month of June on a positive note. With a solid BGM team coming to town last Monday, the Trojans had a chance to pick up their big-gest win of the young season. Coach Chad Little’s group did just that, roughing up BGM fresh-man pitcher Molly Baldwin to get its second win of the season, 7-0. The Trojans needed a few innings to get things cooking on Monday, ultimately breaking through with their first run in the bottom of the third. That single run would have been enough for pitcher Katlyn Little, who threw an absolute gem against the Bears. Little threw a complete game three-hitter, and struck out nine, while walking just one. Little was also huge at the plate for TC, driving in four of the team’s seven runs and finishing with a team-high three hits. Tri-County had two runs in the fifth and gave itself a comfortable

cushion by scoring four more runs in the sixth. Catcher Megan Striegel added a two-for-four performance at the plate, while sophomore outfield-er Nikayla Dowd had one hit and scored twice. Myrissa Garber, Jes-sie Maxwell and Ginny Schmidt also added hits for the Trojans. Two nights later the team suffered a tough 14-2 loss to 6th-ranked Lynnville-Sully, on the road. The Trojans wouldn’t stay down for long, though. After the loss in Sully, the Trojans responded with a great win against Iowa Valley on Friday. With the game tied at two in the bottom of the sixth, Tri-County came through with four runs, giv-ing pitcher Katyln Little more than enough support to finish off the Ti-gers. Little allowed five hits on the night, while the Trojans finished with eight as a team. The team hosted Keota on Mon-day, before hosting Twin Cedars on Tuesday, June 9. The Trojans then play at Sigourney on Wednesday, before hosting a double-header with HLV on Friday.

With eight games on the docket last week for the Sigourney varsity softball team, the Savages had a lot to play for and a lot to gain, and they played like it. Coming into the week the team held a 2-1 record – leaving the week it sat at 8-3. The Savages started the week by taking down Belle Plaine, 9-2. At first glance, it may have appeared to be an easy win for coach Shelly Strei-gle and her squad, but it was any-thing but. Sigourney entered the bottom of the fifth trailing 2-1, but proceed-ed to break loose in a big way. The middle of the Sigourney lineup ex-ploded, helping the team score seven runs and take an 8-2 lead. RBI hits from Sierra Davis, Jordan Carter, Brooke Waechter and Kendall Strei-gle gave the Savages all the offense they needed. Sigourney added one more in the sixth, to give Jordan Carter more support in the circle – not that she needed it. Carter gave up four hits and no walks in seven innings of work to get the win. At the plate, Carter went four-for-four with a double and a triple. The Savages got swept in a dou-ble-header the next night by an ex-cellent Fairfield team. Fairfield won

the first game, 13-4, before winning the second, 13-3. After getting shown up by Fairfield, Sigourney responded by winning twice the next night at HLV. The Savages needed only six in-nings in the first game to beat the Warriors. 18 hits, including three each by Carter, Waechter and Anna Ohland, helped Sigourney cruise past HLV, 12-2. Streigle, Allison Schroeder, Autum Barthelman and Madison Schauf each had two hits apiece in the game. Sigourney then completed the sweep over the Warriors, beating them 6-2 in the second game. Streigle got the win for Sigour-ney, striking out six batters in seven innings of work, while also going three-for-three at the dish. Sigour-ney also got three hits from Barthel-man and a homerun and three RBIs from catcher Leah Carter. With Friday off, the Savages turned

their focus to tournament play on Saturday at West Branch. The team played great on Saturday, outscoring its three opponents by a total of 22-to-5 and winning all three games. The Savages got things started with a 9-3 win over West Branch. Two hits apiece from Schauf, Streigle and Leah Carter gave starting pitcher Jordan Carter more than enough support. Carter tossed seven innings and gave up five hits and no walks. The team then got a great start from Streigle in the second game, helping Sigourney take down Louisa-Musca-tine, 7-1. Streigle gave up just three hits in six innings of work. 8th-grader Summer Barthelman had two of the team’s nine hits in the game. Coach Streigle’s team closed things out last week with a 6-1 win over Lone Tree on Saturday. Carter tossed a complete-game four-hitter, and had two doubles at

the plate. Meanwhile, Waechter went three-for-three and scored twice. Sigourney played at BGM on Mon-day, before hosting Tri-County on Wednesday, June 10. The team then plays at Iowa Valley on Friday.

After a difficult 3-2 loss to Belle Plaine, in which the Sigourney base-ball team allowed just one single hit, the Savages decided that enough was enough. Coach Lee Crawford’s Savages headed to Victor two nights later to play HLV and came home with 14 hits, 15 walks and a 21-16, nine-in-ning win. Scoring runs was never going to be a question for either team, as the Warriors answered Sigourney’s four-run first with three runs of their own. HLV then took a 5-4 lead in the sec-ond by plating two more runs, before things really started getting wild. Over the next three innings, the two teams combined to score 20

runs, including five by the Savages in the fourth and five by the Warriors in the fifth. When it was all said and done, Sigourney held a narrow 15-14 lead after six innings of play. After gaining that one-run lead, the Savages turned to Peyton Craw-ford to shut down the Warriors for the final four-plus innings. Crawford relieved Jake VanEe and Colby Kerk-ove, who combined to allow 14 runs in four and two-thirds innings. Sigourney went scoreless in the top of the seventh and, with HLV need-ing just one run, allowed the War-riors to tie the game at 15 in the bot-tom of the seventh, on an unearned run. Crawford and the Savages main-tained a tie, though, surviving the scare to head into extra innings. Neither team scored in the eighth,

but the Savages had had enough in the top of the ninth. Sigourney erupted for six runs in the frame and took a 21-15 lead into the bottom of the ninth. HLV scored once off of Crawford, but he and the Sigourney defense got the job done and held on for the 21-16 win. Crawford gave up one hit and one walk in four and two-thirds innings, while striking out 11. At the plate, the junior was a monster going four-for-five with a homerun, eight RBIs, five runs and two walks. Kerkove joined Crawford in the long-ball brigade, go-ing three-for-seven with a homer and five RBIs. VanEe also added two hits and two RBIs, while Cole Streigle and Avery Moore each scored four runs and Tanner Bos scored twice. The next night the Savages played

at Lynnville-Sully in what was sched-uled to be their first game of the sea-son. After falling behind early, 5-1, Sigourney rallied by scoring three runs in the fifth and one more in the sixth. A two-run error by the Hawks in the fifth helped the Sav-ages cut their deficit to 5-4 before a bases-loaded groundout tied the game in the sixth. However, the sixth inning was a missed opportunity for the Savages, as they managed just one run despite having the bases loaded with no one out. The team hit into an unconventional double-play to end the inning, with Cole Streigle getting caught up at second base and Tanner Bos getting caught in a run-down trying to score from third. The Hawks took advantage of Sigourney’s missed opportunity and re-took the lead in the bottom of the sixth, 6-5. The Savages left one man on base in the seventh and fell by a count of 6-5. Jordan Albert finished two-for-four on the night and tossed six strong innings, allowing five hits and four earned runs. Three of those runs came on a three-run homer by Caleb James in the second. The team got back on track the next night with a 10-9, nonconfer-ence win at Moravia. Took a 10-9 lead in the top of the eighth and got two hitless innings from winning pitcher Peyton Craw-ford. Crawford also had three of the team’s ten hits, while Kerkove and Albert each had two, and Streigle and Moore each had one. Sigourney looked to continue its momentum at BGM on Monday, before playing at Mid-Prairie the next night. The Savages then host Tri-County on Wednesday and play at Iowa Valley on Friday, June. 12.
