BARNES CITY – City offi-cials of Barnes City are seeing the plans and work of the past few years come to fruition. The City of Barnes City is currently under-taking a major project to improve the water distribution and storage system in town.
The existing water distribution system was constructed in 1956, and has seen few improvements in the past 60 years. The purpose of the project is to reduce water loss from the distribution system, and to replace and aging pressure pumping and storage system.
According to project leader Ste-phen Pedrick of French-Reneker
of Fairfield, said the project in-cludes construction of approxi-mately 14,400 linear feet of water main, installing 60 water meters and pits, installing 54 wa-ter meters, and construction of a 50,000-gallon water tower.
The construction on the project began in August of 2015, and is expected to be complete during the summer of 2016. It is expect-ed the system will deliver water more efficiently to the residents of the town.
The project is funded through a USDA-Rural Development loan/grant; Community Development Block Grant; and local user fees.
Barnes City Water System Upgrades Continue
OSKALOOSA – Mahaska County Emergency Manage-ment Agency, in conjunction with the National Weather Service in Des Moines, will be conducting weather spotter training on Feb. 23.
According to Jamey Robinson, Mahaska County Emergency Management Agency Director, 911 Administrator citizens are a vital link in the timely and accu-rate flow of weather information into and out of weather forecast
offices. Trained storm spotters and long-term observers sup-port the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) mission of climate mon-itoring and protecting life and property through accurate weath-er forecasts and warnings..
The weather spotting class is being held at the Mahaska Coun-ty ISU Extension o ffice from 6-8 p.m. This class, which takes ap-proximately two hours, will in-struct spotters on what to look
for in the event of severe weather. Every citizen of Mahaska County is encouraged to plan and prepare for the coming weather.
“As we all know, in Iowa the weather can change at any sec-ond,” Robinson stressed. “Ev-ery home should have a NOAA weather radio, emergency kit and other supplies.”
Robinson said citizens of Ma-haska County are also encouraged to sign up for emergency notifica-tions from the MahaskaA!ert sys-
tem. The system gives real time notifications via text message, email and voice via phone.
For further information, plan-ning ideas or to sign up for emer-gency alerts, go to www.mahas-kaready.com and follow the links on the Mahaska Ready page. If you have questions or need fur-ther assistance, please call Ma-haska County Emergency Man-agement Agency at 672-1209.

Fremont Lions hosts Blood Drive
FREMONT – Members of the Fremont Lions Club theatre group are busy with rehearsals for their annual play. The cast of “Virgil Wins The Lottery” will present the show Feb. 12, 13 and 14 at Fremont School.
The play is another hillbilly sto-ry of Virgil (Shannon Bethune), a simple country boy, who buys a lottery ticket. Everyone dreams of striking it rich by winning the lottery except Virgil’s wife, Mar-garet (Jeanene Calhoun). Marga-ret thinks it’s a waste of money until Virgil wins the $10,000 Lickskillit lottery.
As soon as Margaret and Virgil get the news, Virgil quits his job, they join the posh (well, posh for Lickskillit) social club and over-night start living in high cotton. And then they get more news: They didn’t actually win the
$10,000 lottery. Shamefully ex-posed, Margaret and Virgil start eatin’ crow and learn that life is good, with or without the win-nings, and then they get the big-gest surprise of all.
The cast is filled with a num-ber of returning actors includ-ing Sandy Eckley, Janice West, Bill Ward, Sharon Van Ringeles-tein, Mark Hansen, Paul Horn and Christina Kime. Also Dollie Horn, Sherri Baxter, Ryan Keep, and Gary Mitterer. A number of “others” may make cameos in this year’s production. Directors for the production are Scott Bet-hune and Mindy Archer.
Show times will be at 7 p.m. on Feb. 12-13 and at 2 p.m. on Sun-day. Seating is limited, but tickets are available at the door. Look for a review of the play in the Feb. 4 edition of The Sun.
Thespians Prepare for Annual Fremont Lions’ Play
Preparations for the Fremont Lions Club production of “Virgil Wins the Lottery have begun. The show will take the stage at Fremont school Feb. 12-14. Pictured is Virgil (Shannon Bethune), Margaret (Jeanene Calhoun), Sue Ann Drake (Sherri Baxter) and Ryan Keep (John Drake).

North Mahaska’s reader’s theatre ensemble prepares for district completion with their performance of “Saturday Matinee.”
Baillie Benson of Oskaloosa has joined the North Mahaska music department as a student teacher with Ms. Carolyn Brick-ley for the next seven weeks. Benson, a graduate of Oskaloosa High School, transferred to Wil-liam Penn University from the University of South Dakota to complete her music education de-gree in 2014.
At WPU, she is a member of the Pride of Penn Marching Band, bass player for the jazz band, and tuba player for the concert band and various small ensembles. Outside of music, she is the lead-er of the southernmost chapter of the Belegarth Medieval Combat Society in Iowa and an artist with a passion for metalworking.
While student teaching at North Mahaska, Benson said she will be
combining a little music and little history by teaching a unit on me-dieval music.
“We will be looking at the dif-ferences between modern and medieval notations, listening to interpretations of their music, and having some hands-on time with the modern descendants of medi-eval musical instruments,” said Benson.
“I am incredibly excited to be student teaching here at North Mahaska,” said Benson. “It is very full circle for me since Ms. Brickley was my first music teacher! I attended North Ma-haska from kindergarten through third grade, and my mother, Kim Benson, taught high school band here from 1988-1998.

Blakesburg-Fremont Rocket Robotics competed in the FIRST Lego League (FLL) Regional Qualifying compe-tition at IHCC on Dec. 5. FLL is a worldwide competition that incorporates building, designing and programming a robot to complete mis-sions to earn points. Other components include re-searching a real world problem and developing an
innovative solution as well as focusing on teamwork and gracious professional-ism.
The team included a member from each of the district’s buildings. CJ Waldren from EBF Junior and Senior High, Lute Judy, a sixth grader from Fremont Elementary, Carson Stetter, a sixth grader from Eddyville Elementary and Lauren Wells, a sixth grader from Blakesburg Elementary. The
team improved signi icantly from last year’s competition. They won the robot division of the competition by out-scoring the other 27 teams by a comfortable margin, but did not advance to the state level.
The team’s research project focused on food waste. The team collected wasted food in their lunch-rooms, and from this rep-resentative sample they learned that EBF throws
over 15,000 pounds of food away in a school year. They completed research and met with a composting profes-sional to evaluate the possi-bility of returning this waste to the earth as fertilizer.
Students report that FLL is a fun experience that teaches valuable lessons about teamwork, engineer-ing, life lessons and other social skills.

BARNES CITY NEWS TAINTOR-GRANVILLE-LYNNVILLE
PARSON TO PERSON
By KEVIN GLESENERVermeer Chaplain Each morning I read Rick
Warren’s devotional. It comes to my email box at about 5 a.m. Warren is the pastor at Saddle-back church in Orange County, Calif. One of the largest churches in America. He is the author of the NY Times best-selling book, “The Purpose Driven Life.” He has prayed at the inauguration of several US Presidents.
Pastor Warren said in his devo-tional one morning a few weeks ago, “God’s dream for your life is exponentially bigger than your dream.” Most of the time I really think what he has to say is ex-tremely helpful and right on, but this one at first struck me wrong. Yeah right I cynically thought! Spoken by a true celebrity, mega-church pastor trying to say what
people want to hear. My big dream has always been to live the life of an introverted artist, quiet-ly holed up in my ocean side stu-dio turning out masterpieces for people to enjoy in fine art galler-ies in trendy neighborhoods. That has never happened!
But then I got to thinking maybe he is right. God seemed to have a different dream for me. An ex-ponentially bigger dream. God’s dream for me was to send me to study at Duke University, pastor a great church that grew from 300 to 600 members, and travel by corporate jet too far off places to minister to folks in the workplace as a chaplain. Wait a minute, there might be something to this! I never thought I would be doing things like that. All those are be-yond my wildest imagination.e something to this! What’s God’s
dream for your life?God’s got a big dream for all
of us. God’s dream is bigger be-cause it is eternal. God is build-ing the Kingdom through Jesus Christ. Some day through Christ the Kingdom will be realized on earth. We are invited to par-ticipate, according to our gifts, talents, abilities, and passions in God’s dream of redeeming a fall-en world.
There is a big difference how-ever between God’s dream and our dream. Our dreams tend to be small and self- focused. God’s dream is expansive and eternally affects people. God uses us to achieve it. Whatever we bring to the table. He made us and knows what is best for us and works it into his plan. I truly feel had I fol-lowed my dream to be an artist I would never have had the op-
portunity to positively affect the lives of as many people. I would not have been able to go to as many places I’ve been and meet the people I have met.
I still use my art work for min-istry (I got interviewed on KNIA radio recently about that. Some-thing else I never dreamed I would be doing), but I also use my introversion. Introverts are good listeners and are good one-on-one. That’s why I am a chap-lain. When I can be who I am and help people then I am fulfilled. But your personality is special and unique also. You have much to offer. You may not fly in a cor-porate jet but you may fly great distances to touch the lives of many people using your gifts.
Realizing God’s dream for your life is a matter of listening to God through scripture, prayer,
and a process of discernment that comes through the Holy Spirit and godly people in the church. Look at your circumstance right now. Whatever they are there is some big problem God wants you to solve, or some big purpose God wants you to fulfill. Within that contains God’s big dream for your life and people who will be positively affected for eternity through you. Finally, once you feel you have a direction, it is a matter of taking a step of faith (very hard sometimes) and acting on it, and knowing God will pro-vide for what you need to fulfill that dream.
It’s been quite a ride so far, following God’s dream rather than my own. It’s an adventure and a journey I look forward to every day. Blessings on following God’s dream for you.
“God can do anything, you know - far more than you could even imag-ine or guess or request in your wild-est dreams.” Eph. 3:20 (MSG)
I a l s o r e a d Te r r y P o l -lard the scripture today from “The Pray! Prayer Journal”Genesis 12-14, the story of Abram and how God would make a great people through him. That’s a pretty big dream!
“All humans dream; but not equal-ly. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dan-gerous, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.” “Lawrence of Arabia” aka T. E. Law-rence, 1922

CHURCH DIRECTORY
By SHERYL L. CARTER Recently, there has been a lot
of conversation about the upcom-ing Iowa Caucus on Monday, Feb. 1. This first in the nation caucus always garners a lot of press and interest as we see vari-ous candidates coming into Iowa for events and gatherings to hope-fully explain their position on many issues and how they would tackle these issues should they become president.
This all falls under the mantle of “politics”. And what are politics? I think some of us have a very unfavorable opinion of politics—only seeing the fighting, back-biting, lying and under-handed dealing that always seem to ac-company these activities.
But politics are actually (to quote a couple of dictionaries) the science of government or govern-ing a nation, and the administra-tion and control of its internal and external affairs. Or maybe this definition is clearer: the activi-ties, actions, and policies that are used to gain and hold power in a government or to influence a gov-ernment.
So politics are very important as this is how our government is run. Or not run, as the case may be.
I checked out some facts about a caucus on the internet and this is what I found: A caucus is a local meeting where registered mem-bers of a political party in a city, town or county gather to vote for their preferred party candidate and conduct other party business. The caucus is the oldest method of choosing delegates in the U.S., widely acknowledged as originat-ing in the English colonies before the American Revolution. Sixteen states hold caucuses to determine political party candidates. Iowa holds the first, and most signifi-cant, caucuses in the presidential election cycle.
In Iowa, caucuses are held all over the state. There are 1,774 precincts in Iowa, meaning 1,774
churches, libraries and other buildings where caucus-goers will gather on Monday, Feb. 1.
For the Republican Caucus, supporters of various candidates can speak a few minutes. After the speeches, a secret ballot is taken, the results are counted, announced and given to the me-dia. This is also the time the Re-publican Party Platform is gone over and voted on. For the Demo-cratic Caucus, the room is divided according to candidates and sup-porters join that particular area to show their support.
For both parties, caucus night is also the time when delegates are elected to serve at the county con-vention, followed by the district and state conventions, and finally the national convention.
This is a great example of grassroots democracy. What are the grassroots? Us! You and me, sitting in our homes, offices or places of work, reading this newspaper--we are the grassroots of our country. Participating in a caucus gives “We the People” the opportunity to vote and speak our piece and make decisions that can affect our lives and our country through our party platform, which is a document that lays out who we are and what we believe.
I applaud Franklin Graham as he is traveling around the country challenging citizens at every state capitol to get involved in this po-litical process—to pray and then to vote. It is only as we lift up our country before the Most High God, that our nation can be whole again.
Jeremiah 2:11 & 13: Has a na-tion changed their gods, which are yet no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me the foun-tain of living waters and hewed them out broken cisterns, that can hold no water.”
By ROSEMARY SCHMIDTThe Sun CorrespondentAgain
this week I looked out my north kitchen window to see the sights and there were nine deer standing in Kevin Van’t Sant’s cornfield. I continued to watch them as they ate leftovers of corn. Then the largest one (I presume the oldest one) started to walk over to the road.
This was a little after 5 p.m. and the busy time of the evening when all our neighbors are com-ing home from work. I hoped that they would see the deer. When the one deer got up to the road, I could not believe what I was seeing. The deer looked left and then right. After feeling confident that no one was coming, it went across the road, the next one in line did the same thing and then the third one did also. Then after six had checked the traffic and went across safely, the last three were younger, smaller deer and they didn’t look at all, but bound-ed across. After running through the field across the road, here came all the working traffic. I was thankful that they were safely out of the way.
Today I saw a rooster and a hen pheasant across road. They are beautiful birds and I’m enjoying seeing those kind of birds again. There was time when they were
really scarce. Also I have one big rabbit I see all the time out by the gooseberry bush.
I’ve been reading those garden catalogs that I have been get-ting in the mail and dreaming of all the things I’m going to grow. Those pictures look so inviting and I’m already hungry for those fresh vegetables. After making a long list, I think of all the work that it requires and then I short-ened the list. Oh, well I have a few months to dream and then the time will roll around.
On Thursday I went to Pella to shop after staying home for 11 days. Let’s see…is that a record for me? It is so much easier to stay home when the weather gets so cold. The bank, Fareway, Wal-Mart, Hy Vee, Theisen’s and Vander Ploeg Bakery were a few of the stops I made. I went to Vera Versteegh’s and took lunch to her. Crimp bread sandwiches, po-tato chips and a homemade sour cream raisin pie. My step-grand-son Scott also joined us and gave him my moist chocolate cake (which he loves). We enjoyed a good time of visiting and looking at pictures. She gets new birthday and get-well cards in the mail, so she gave me some to use to send to people.
While at Fareway I ‘ran into’ Carrol and Carolyn Bandstra. Of
course we spent some time visit-ing. Like I say, the grocery store is a good place to meet people!!!
A lot of wood has been packed in to put in the fireplace. I’m able to pack most of it in myself this year. It sure is good exercise and builds up the muscles. Don’t need to go to town for therapy, just do it here in the country in the cold weather. Reminds me that peo-ple did not go to the gym to ex-ercise….they just did their own work. Times have changed!
Does anyone know where I can get some corncobs to use for kindling in the fireplace? I think corncobs are ‘history’ with the invention of the corn picker. But, there is nothing better to start fires with.
Recently I ran across Jan (Mike) Chapman in Wal-Mart. We stopped to visit. She said she had been to see my step mother Mildred Klyn as they both go to 1st Reformed Church. Also saw another of the Chapman girls and I think she was Berniece. They all look alike to me…pretty gals.
Do any of you get the magazine, Our Iowa? It has beautifu l pic-tures of Iowa farms and scenery along with stories of life on the farm. Kenny and Shirley Hoks-bergen have it sent to me as a gift. During the winter months it makes for good reading and
makes me know again that we live in the greatest place on the planet. If you’re interested in sub-scribing to it here is the email or mailing address. www.ouriowa-magazine.com or P.O. Box 5774, Harlan, IA 51593-1274. It costs $18.98 for a year’s subscription.
****A small town editor had repeated so often to his eager but inexperienced new assistant, “Always remember that names make news”. Then on his next as-signment the reporter began his report, “Fire last night destroyed Farmer Alvin Heimerdingers’ barn, claiming the lives of three cows named Bossy, Bessy and Gertrude”.
****LOST CIGARETTES. An old carpet layer, who had a tough time seeing clearly, had just fin-ished installing a carpet for a lady. He stepped out for a smoke, only to realize he’d lost cigarettes. In the middle of the room, under the carpet, was a bump. “No sense pulling up the entire floor for one pack of smokes,” the old guy said to himself. He proceeded to get out his hammer and flattened the hump. As he was cleaning up, the lady came in. “Here” she said, handing him his pack of ciga-rettes. “I found them in the hall-way. “Now”, she said, “If only I could find my gerbil”.
OSKALOOSA – Does your child struggle with having con-versations, fidgeting or finishing projects? Is reading, writing or math a struggle? These behaviors and challenges could be signs of Attention Deficit Hyperactiv-ity Disorder (ADHD). Mahaska Health Partnership Pediatrician and ADHD Expert John O’Brien, MD, offers tips on identifying symptoms in your child and ways to manage them.
“It’s normal for kids to struggle from time to time with focusing and sitting still,” Dr. O’Brien ex-plained. “However, if it becomes a routine problem, it can take a toll on schoolwork and other responsibilities. It’s important to share your concerns with a trained professional to see if addi-tional assistance may be needed.”
According to the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC), ADHD is one of the most common neu-rodevelopmental disorders chil-dren face. It is usually diagnosed in childhood and lasts into adult-hood. “Children with ADHD may struggle with daydreaming, for-getfulness, squirming, inability to focus, trouble taking turns and getting along with others,” Dr. O’Brien shared. “However, these symptoms alone are not abnor-mal, so diagnosis may be difficult for some children and may take time to pinpoint the exact cause.”
For children with ADHD, dif-ferent treatment options are avail-able. “Each child is different, so it’s vital to work with parents to determine the best treatment so-lution for them and their child,” Dr. O’Brien explained. “Often-times, a combination of behavior therapy and medication can do
wonders for a child struggling with focusing and impulsive be-haviors.”
Along with professional treat-ments, Dr. O’Brien has a few tips for parents who want to help their children at home and school. “In children with ADHD, structure and routine with minimal dis-tractions can really help. Try to keep the same schedule for wake-up and bedtime and keep your child’s backpack and other daily items in the same location so they are less likely to lose them. For help with focusing, make sure to turn off the TV and any other distractions, especially during homework time. Limiting choices and using goals and rewards can also help keep your child from becoming overwhelmed while also motivating them to stay on task.”
According to Dr. O’Brien, the best thing parents can do is be involved with their child’s treat-ment and progress. “I encourage parents to research and educate themselves on how to help their child who is struggling with ADHD. If you try something and it doesn’t work, look for new ways to approach the same is-sue. By working as a team we can all help your child manage their ADHD and reach their full po-tential in good physical and emo-tional health.”
Dr. O’Brien is now accept-ing new pediatric patients on the MHP campus in Oskaloosa. He is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p. m. For an ap-pointment call 641.672.3360.
MHP Educates on ADHD Symptoms in Children
OSKALOOSA – The Digital Communication program at Wil-liam Penn University has had an exciting year. Its partnership with KYOU Fox-15 is in full swing, with a student crew working to produce a weeknight newscast for the Ottumwa community. On Thursday, Jan. 21, the Digital Communication department will
be hosting a Business After Hours event to celebrate its success in the Oskaloosa community and its new partnership. The event will take place at the Musco Technol-ogy Center (MTC) on William Penn University’s Oskaloosa campus at 5 p.m.
The Digital Communication program began its partnership
with KYOU earlier this fall, em-ploying seven WPU students to assist in producing nightly news in the newly upgraded studio in the MTC. KYOU News can be viewed on Channel 15 in Ottum-wa .
Business After Hours is a pro-gram hosted by the Oskaloosa Chamber of Commerce and the
Diplomats, who serve as a wel-coming committee for the Cham-ber. The event is meant to be ca-sual and allows community mem-bers an inside look at a new busi-ness or new developments of an existing business in Oskaloosa.
This event is free and open to the community.

SIGOURNEY – Turnover game again plagued the youthful North Mahaska girls’ basketball team Friday. The Warhawks gave up 22 points off turnovers as host Sigourney won the South Iowa Cedar League matchup 55-27.
Sigourney held the visiting Warhawks to single digits in all but the third period.
Sophomore Mallory Klinker and junior Kalleen Chamberlain battled for the Warhawks to score nine points apiece. Sophomore Tessa Fuller chipped in five.
The senior-laden Savages used strong outside shooting by Si-erra Davis, who finished with 21 points. The strength of Sigourney came in the ability to grab of-fensive rebounds and earn sev-eral second chance opportunities. Coupled with the miscues created a situation the Warhawks could not overcome.

EDDYVILLE — Success from the fall has spilled over to the winter for the girls at Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont. Follow-ing a conference crown and state tournament appearance in volley-ball, many of those same players are guiding the basketball team to success. Friday, the Rockets topped Davis County, 62-35 to complete the season sweep and ran their league mark to 9-0.
EBF jumped out early 12-6 and slowly pulled away from Davis County 30-20 at intermission. Except for a 14-point tally in the second period, EBF held Davis
County to single digits in the oth-er three quarters. DC held their own in the second quarter with EBF holding an 18-14 edge.
Most of the first half was the type of game Davis County had a shot of winning. The Mustangs frustrated the Rockets with a de-fense that caused every half-court pass to be contested and prevent-ed EBF from scoring in transi-tion.
M’chelle Allen, a junior at Da-vis County collected eight points and six rebounds in the opening half to try to keep her team mov-ing, but too many missed chances led to their demise.
EBF’s inside play proved to be too much. Karlie Taylor and Taylor Leffler combined for 21 rebounds with Taylor leading EBF with a double-double of 18-points and 11 rebounds.
EBF (11-4, 9-0) will be back on the floor for a huge home chal-lenge Monday in non-conference action against ninth-ranked (4A) Fairfield.

Strong Rebounding Lifts EBF Boys
EDDYVILLE – Though the score was seemingly close, it was the ability for Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont to rebound especially on the offensive end, that led to a 78-69 win over Da-vis County. The victory also com-pleted the season sweep for the Rockets.
E BF accumulated 27 offensive rebounds while Davis County managed just 12 on both ends. Those second chance opportuni-ties was beneficial fro EBF, (4-9, 3-6).
Despite the efforts of EBF they had to use a 13-1 run in the final four minutes of regulation to help
put away the second win of the season against the Mustangs.
The game had plenty of runs by both teams. EBF was able to gain a 20-9 advantage only to see Davis County crawl back to 41-37 at halftime. Much of the rally belonged to the efforts of Davis County’s Zach Houf, who led all scorers with 23 points including a buck just before the intermission.
Peyton Walker highlighted a 19-point night for the Rocket senior with several shots from behind the arc including back-to-back shots down the stretch.
The Rockets led by a basket at 64-61 with under four minutes left and Davis County bringing the ball up looking for a potential game-tying 3-pointer. Instead, EBF picked stripped Houf as he brought the ball up the floor and turned it into a lay-up that would ignite the closing run that would clinch the Rockets’ fourth win of the season.
EBF Girls Stay Perfect in SCC
EDDYVILLE — It seems a nightly accounting – a member of the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont basketball team scoring a double-double. Tuesday night it was Karlie Taylor, and three teammates scored in double fig-ures in Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont’s 65-31 win over Albia Tuesday night.
Taylor poured in 21 points and grabbed 14 rebounds for the Rockets. She added four assists, three steals and three blocks. To-rie Alexander finished with 14
points, seven rebounds, six steals and four assists while Taryn Swartz and Randie Richmond both had 10 points.
Swartz had seven steals and five assists and Richmond added two assists, two steals, one re-bound and a block. Claire Jager collected six points, three re-bounds, three assists and a pair of steals. Taylor Leffler grabbed six rebounds, two assists and a team-high six blocks. Briana Ver-Steegh recorded two blocks and a steal.

SIGOURNEY – Sixteen min-utes of basketball provided North Mahaska with a gentle lead 31-26 at halftime. Enter Sigourney senior Alex Stuhr and the game change. The Savage wide body disrupted the inside game of the Warhawks and pumped in 13 points including the game winner with 1 second left to play to give Sigourney a 60-58 South Iowa Cedar League win.
The two teams were well-matched and made runs at each other. Sigourney built a 12-7 lead with 2:20 to play in the first pe-riod. North Mahaska’s Brandt Fleener scored six first quarter points and Milan DeJong scored
off a steal and hit three free throws to tie the game at 12 after one period.
North Mahaska pulled away slightly outscoring the Savages 19-14 in the second quarter and held the halftime advantage.
Stuhr, who sat out the first half, stepped into the middle. The 6-foot 3-inch center, who is built more like a lineman, kept North Mahaska’s middle game of Fleen-er and Cole Rozendaal from gain-ing any ground in the second half. Stuhr also provided inside offen-sive presence.
“They couldn’t match up with us in the first half,” said North Mahaska Coach S eth Streebin. “I told them they had to match height with physicality and we
didn’t really do that.”North Mahaska did build a 39-
30 lead, but Sigourney rallied to take a 45-43 lead at the end of three periods. Fleener and De-Jong picked up the tempo from long range hitting a pair of treys to pull within one with 6:22 to play. DeJong drilled two more and Fleener added a free throw to give NM the 55-50 edge.
Stuhr hit a bucket and on their next possession Jordan Albert hit a bucket on an offensive rebound to close to 55-54. NM added a trey to gain a 58-54 lead with a minute and a half to play.
Blaine Gretter hit a bucket and with half a minute left Stuhr added another to tie the game. Sigourney was able to get off a
couple shots in the closing sec-onds before Stuhr hit the two-foot jumper for the victory.
“Our kids have earned a win,” lamented Streebin. “At Belle Plaine and here, they are working so hard. We’ve got a lot of basket-ball to play, but this one hurts.”
Fleener led all scorers with 24 points and DeJong finished with 22.
Sigourney had four in double figures. Gretter had 18 followed by Stuhr’s 13, Albert had 11 and Denny Haines finished with 10.
North Mahaska will host Col-fax-Mingo Tuesday and travel to Lynnville-Sully Friday.

Stuhr-ing Performance sinks NM
COLFAX – North Mahaska’s wrestling team was able to ac-complish something they had not been able to do in the past two seasons – defeat a host team. That occurred Thursday when they topped Colfax-Mingo, 31-28. They also defeated English Val-leys 42-30 and fell to Tri-County-Montezuma 41-24.
“Last night’s duals ended up be-ing one of the best nights that this young Warhawk team has had in the last three seasons,” said coach Matt Strasser via Facebook. “I could not be prouder of how the kids performed. With only eight and nine weight classes be-ing filled for us, we had to win matches by falls to even be close to competing.”
It was a good night on the mat for the wrestlers with four win-ning all three tilts. Tyler Strasser at 120-pounds, Jarrett Stodghill at 126, Luke Groves at 160 and Re-ece Strasser at 182 each picked up wins in each dual.
Tyler Strasser decisioned Ty Carlson of C-M 6-0 and won by forfeit in the other two matches. Stodghill pinned C-M’s Joseph Carolus in 3 minute 12 seconds, won by forfeit against EV and pinned TCM’s Travis Lewis in 2:19.
Groves pinned all three of his opponents. Colfax-Mingo’s Mar-shall Maple in 2:48 was the first victim followed by John Fisher of EV in 2:52. Closing out the day with a pin of Taylor Staton of TCM in 1:18.
Reece Strasser opened with a 14-0 major decision against Sky-ler Aikin of CM and pinned EV’s Bentley Schott in 19 seconds. He was given a forfeit in the TCM match.
