Their assistance helpsin successful transition

b y D a n b r e e nS t a ff W ri t e r

SHELDON—Substance abusers’ success in recovery often is only as good as the support systems around them. Unfortunately, N’West Iowa lacks quality support systems according to Maureen Hansen, director of the 3rd Judicial District Residential Treatment Facility in Sheldon. “It’s the missing link in successful re-entry,” she said. The RTF and Love In the Name of Christ of Greater Sheldon are joining forces to create mentoring opportuni-ties for men to minister and show love to RTF clients as they complete their drug and alcohol treatment and re-enter a world of independence. “Sometimes men, when they transi-tion out of the RTF, can feel like they don’t have a lot of support systems around here,” said Love INC director

Lora Petitt. “Our goal as a ministry is that they feel and experience and see hope and love in the name of Christ. Our hope is this would help give them support as they make that transition back into the community.” Love INC and the RTF have had a strong relationship in the past meet-ing needs of clients, but the mentoring program is a new approach. “Our expectations as a mentoring ministry team is to provide a sup-portive relationship as a community, to hold the residents accountable, visit with them and pray for them,” Petitt said. Love INC is looking for four-person teams of men who would meet with a single resident, making contact at least once a week. The relationship would begin during the client’s three- to five-month stay at the facility and continue after they have left for con-tinued support. The program is completely voluntary for the residents. The RTF would seek out individuals it thinks would be open to assistance from a Christian perspective.

“We would recommend it to individ-uals who would be staying in the com-munity who are open to a faith-based connection and are trying to succeed,” Hansen said. All volunteers would receive training on how to interact with the residents as well as achieve the goals set out by the RTF and Love INC. Hansen and Petitt will lead the training at a date yet to be established. Hansen noted many church groups are involved in prison ministries. She thinks this type of mentoring program could be similar. “There’s different mentoring groups throughout the state of Iowa. I think it would be a blessing if we could have

that here, too.” The hope is to dig deeper than the basic physical needs of the residents and impact them in perhaps a more

significant way. “Relationships in life are so impor-tant,” Petitt said. “I believe God cre-ated us as relational beings.”

Presenter urges beingkind like Rachel was

b y a L L I S o n S U e S S eS t a ff W ri t e r

SHELDON—Rachel Scott had pre-monitions she was going to die young and knew she had to make the most of her life. Rachel was 17 years old when she was shot and killed on April 20, 1999, during the shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado. She left behind six journals she filled with her hopes, dreams and personal codes of ethics she lived by each day during her brief life. Although current Sheldon High School students were young when Columbine shooting occurred, Dave Gamache, spokesperson for Rachel’s Challenge, shared Rachel’s story with them Monday, which brought many students in attendance to tears. During her lunch period, Rachel and a friend decided to sit outside the west entrance of the school building when fellow students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold shot her four times in the chest. She was the first of the 13 victims who were killed while 21 others were wounded by Harris and Klebold before they committed sui-cide. It remains the deadliest shooting at a high school ever recorded in the United States. At the time Rachel was a teenager who had a passion for life and being kind to others. She wrote in her journal about want-ing to make a difference in the world. When Rachel was 13, she traced her hands with marker on the back of her dresser and wrote “These hands belong to Rachel Joy Scott and will someday touch millions of people’s hearts.” Her writings became the corner-stone for Rachel’s Challenge after her father, Darrell Scott, discovered her journals and a homework assignment that eventually 20 million people would read. He began studying his daughter’s writings and realized she created formulas for beating preju-dice, a code of ethics she lived by and steps for reaching lofty goals. “In her freshman year journal she said, ‘Every day I’m going to reach out to three groups of students at my school because I think it will make a difference: Anybody who’s special

needs, anybody who’s new at school and anybody who’s being picked on,’” Gamache said. That she did. Rachel would spend a brief time with these students every day, making them feel like they were special. “All she did was walk past them for a couple seconds and give them high-fives, compliments,” Gamache said. “If someone seemed down she didn’t say ‘What’s wrong?’ She’d walk up and say ‘I really like that shirt,’ just try to change their mindset and let them realize how awesome they were. She did this for three years, and never told anyone about her plan. When she died her dad read this and was blown away.” Gamache relayed a story of when Rachel noticed a student, Adam, being pushed around in the hallway. Adam had special needs and was a target for bullying. But one day when a group of boys were pushing him around, Rachel came running down the hall-way and stood between Adam and the boys with her fists doubled up and told the bullies to leave Adam alone. This gesture meant the world to Adam, who had been considering suicide. Rachel’s actions changed his outlook on life because one person stood up for him and told him he was important. She knew that if she looked for the good in others, she would be able to beat her prejudices. “Rachel went beyond first impres-sions,” Gamache said. “She wrote, ‘Give people three chances before you label them. What if someone is suffer-ing from something at home you don’t know about? What if it’s the worst day of their life?’ “If you see someone who looks like they’re mean or angry or having a bad day, she said don’t steer clear of them. Walk past them, look in their eyes and smile,” he continued. “You might get a glimpse of their heart. She went on to say no matter who you’re looking at, if you look hard enough you’ll always find a light, which is their goodness. You can’t find that if you choose to walk away.” Gamache challenged all students to look past the stereotypes and try to see the goodness in everyone before passing judgments. “I want to challenge each and every one of you to challenge the stereotype, the prejudice. All the ways you’ve sized people up,” he said. “Start looking for

the best in everyone. You’ll be amazed at what happens when you do that.” But students today have it tough. Gamache, who used to serve as a school counselor, noted that students today are not dreaming as big as they used to 14 years ago and are faced with more outlets for bullying — like social networking sites — than ever before. “Fourteen years later and the answer today scares me to death because the No. 1 answer is ‘Don’t worry, I’m just looking forward to Friday.’ We’re not dreaming anymore,” Gamache said. “A lot of you are existing, and I thought you might be interested in living your life. Rachel lived hers. She left us a for-mula for getting rid of prejudice, and

it works, she left us a three-step plan to take insane, impossible sounding dreams and make them real.” Gamache shared Rachel’s three-step plan to she used to achieve her dreams:

nDream big.nWrite down your dreams.nKeep a journal to leave a legacy.

“You’ve got one life and no guar-antees you’ll be here tomorrow, why dream small?” Gamache said.

It had become completely dark on Tuesday night as we started off for Sioux Center and Dordt College. In

fact, Peter mentioned what a dark night it was. That probably was the only con-versation we shared the entire distance between Sibley’s Christian Reformed Church where we enjoyed the once-every-four-year Election Night Soup and Pie Supper and our destination for the evening. We were unusually quiet because we were listening on our Sirius radio to both Fox News and CNN News for any new reporting we could glean concern-ing the election. We heard nothing new because there was nothing new at that hour, but we were determined not to miss anything. We switched between the two stations because we didn’t want to miss any news, good or bad, concern-ing the party we were hoping to win. We were anticipating an unusually small audience at the Northwest Iowa Symphony Orchestra’s fall concert: it was election night, there was a special patriotic concert in Orange City, some college games were being held, all mak-ing the choices hard as to which event to attend and dividing would-be attend-ees.

However, when we arrived the audi-torium was fuller than we probably had ever seen. We weren’t late, but we weren’t early either. The lights soon lowered and the symphony began to play . . . our Ameri-can national anthem! People literally jumped from their seats, many right hands lifted to cup their hearts and voices joined the musicians. I turned to look at Peter and tears were stream-ing down his cheeks. It’s what the day was all about; it’s what the past 12-plus months have been all about, and here it all was being summed up in this beauti-ful anthem that we were listening to and sharing in. The entire day had been anxiety filled. The home of my daughter-in-law in Des Moines had been a phone bank location the entire week for Democrats. Months ago CeCe had introduced Michelle Obama during the first lady’s visit to Des Moines. Granddaughter Zoey had stood on Beaverdale street corners urging passers-by to vote for Obama and to honk their horns if they were. One of the people working out of their home was a volunteer from New York who was writing a daily blog. One of the

last days before the election he offered Zoey an opportunity as an Obama vol-unteer to write the blog. She did and she was getting a lot of attention because of that. Of course, Zoey wanted to share her moments of fame with her Grandma-Grandma, but was hesitant knowing how her Grandma, me, felt about Obama and the Dems. “Are you mad at me, Grandma?” she asked. “I’m proud of your writing ability, and I’m proud of your being involved,” I told her. However, I wished she had been as enthusiastic about our GOP as her dad had been when he was alive and writing reports about election night for Time magazine, The New York Times and whoever else he was covering the elec-tion for that night. But as a soon-to-be 14-year-old Zoey was caught up in this country’s greatest freedom; she was learning the process and what it took from everyone. As we all know, the Democrats had a fine-oiled machine that worked! They covered all the bases while the GOP is behind about 20 years, according to Cal Thomas, Laura Ingram, Sean Hannity,

Bill O’Reilly and other GOP pundits. Jeff had called early Tuesday evening to see if his mom had taken an afternoon nap so I’d be able to stay up all night, if need be, watching the results. Sam and Katie were caught up in the excitement and had gone with me in support of Steve King and the GOP; anticipation was high. But I hardly had to stay up past my usual bedtime to hear the dismal results. Hopefully, the outcome will be dif-ferent in four years. But the Grand Old Party has some changing to do before that can happen. The GOP didn’t exactly have a night to be ashamed of, but it is the winner that counts. Nothing seems to have changed; Obama is still president, the Congress is the same, but hopefully there is change coming. This district in Iowa decided to contin-ue supporting Steve King; a good choice. He speaks up for Iowa and represents what we’re all about. God is good.

Shooting victim’schallenge lives on

After Dave Gamache’s Rachel’s Challenge presentation, about 100 students met for a follow-up session in which they were taught ways to perpetuate Rachel Scott’s message in Sheldon High School. the Friends of Rachel Group listened to an educational program presented by Gamache, spokesperson for Rachel’s Challenge. Gamache told the students that the bullies need as much help as the victims and taught them ways to diffuse the situation if they notice students being harassed. Gamache encouraged the students to get together and develop a project the school could work on together. the group has plans to meet next week to discuss a project. Bizzy Feekes, a 15-year-old Sheldon high School freshman from Archer, participated in the Friends of Rachel Group presentation. She noticed a distinct difference in the way her classmates treated one another just in the time between the morning presentation and the training session. “At first i didn’t expect it but when i actually saw it i was really happy people were actually doing it,” Feekes said. “Sometimes we have speakers and not everybody listens to the message, but this one it felt like he was speaking to us, and he could really connect with us. it really helped.”

Witham has workedat college for 15 years

b y a L L I S o n S U e S S eS t a ff W ri t e r

MELvIN—Mindy Witham recently was diagnosed with a rare form of abdominal cancer that’s hard to pro-nounce. “Leave it to me,” she said. “It’s kind of odd.” On Oct. 1, Witham was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma, a form of cancer found in the lining of the lower abdominal cavity. “My very first day, the first hour was a little ‘Eh,’” said the 34-year-old Melvin resident. “Then so many people came up, my close friends came out and I didn’t even know they were coming, they were just there — and my family. You’re not in it alone. You share the diagnosis with everybody.” Her friends and colleagues at Northwest Iowa Community College in Sheldon, where she works as an enrollment management assistant, have planned a benefit to help sup-port the cost of her treatment. The benefit is scheduled for Nov. 18, which is the Sunday after Witham’s second round of chemotherapy treatments. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it,” Witham said, noting that chemo compromises immune system func-tioning for a short time and causes extreme fatigue. “I will be there via Skype,” she added. “I’ll be there, watching you.” Witham first noticed something was amiss over the summer. She felt pressure on her sides, describing it as feeling like there was an elephant sit-ting on her. She also noticed swelling in her abdomen as well, but no pain. She went to the doctor, who pre-scribed medication to help the swell-ing. After the treatment failed, she had laparoscopic surgery in September and a total abdominal hysterectomy later in the month. It was during the second procedure doctors realized it was mesothelioma. “This is not the asbestos kind. Every-body asks me that,” Witham said. “You just get it like you get the flu. They

haven’t said ‘You’ve done this, now you have this’ because it’s so rare.” Mesothelioma almost always occurs in men who have had prolonged exposure to asbestos. Rarely does it manifest itself in women, and particu-larly in younger women. Witham initially was referred to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, but

was told she would not be able to have an appointment until November. After researching peritoneal mesothelioma, she discovered one of the country’s leading experts on the rare disease, Dr. Brian Loggie, was located in Omaha, NE. She made an appointment at the Creighton University Medical Center,

where doctors established a treatment plan including rounds of chemo, which began Oct. 26 at Sanford Can-cer Center in Sioux Falls, SD, and major surgery slated for January. “In the middle of January I’ll have this big, massive surgery,” Witham said. “I call it my personal spa day.” Loggie specializes in the intraperi-toneal heated chemotherapy perfu-sion surgery, which is performed by pumping heated chemotherapy drugs through the abdominal cavity. After the surgery, it is possible she will require a few more rounds of chemotherapy if the surgery did not remove all of the cancer cells. Throughout the process, Witham knows she has a solid support system behind her, including friends, col-leagues and 5-year-old son, Brenden. “He knows that Mommy is sick, he doesn’t really know any details,” Witham said. “He knows that Mommy has to be in the hospital some days but doctors make Mommy better.” Witham informed her friends about her cancer the day she found out. Together, her friends have started call-ing themselves “Team Mindy” to show their support. “We just told everybody that day because that’s just how it was going to be. It is what it is,” Witham said. “I was quite shocked,” said Rod

Borer, Witham’s friend and college at NCC, who serves as the campus store coordinator. The 58-year-old Little Rock resident experienced his own family medical emergency when his daughter was born with heart defects. His friends and neighbors where he used to live in Windom, MN, hosted a fundraiser for the his family to help with the medical expenses. He knew Witham’s medical expenses and stress on her family would be great, so he, his wife, Phyllis, friends and NCC has helped coordinate the benefit for Mindy Witham. “Even way back then I just had it at the back of my mind that if I could help someone, I’d do the same thing,” Borer said. “Mindy has such a posi-tive attitude, we just wanted to keep it positive.” The benefit will include a silent auc-tion and a lunch of soup, sandwiches and dessert. The support has meant so much to Witham, who described the past six months as a roller coaster. “It keeps me positive, but I try to keep myself positive because it is what it is and you can’t get down on yourself,” she said. “It’s not going to change any-thing so I try to stay positive. Each day is a different day if today is a bad day, well, tomorrow is another day.”

Rock Valley schools hostsexhibition for public view

ROCK vALLEY—N’West Iowa was a widely fledging region when the United States came to a historical crossroads in the early 1860s. The Civil War 1861-65 became the bloodiest war in the history of America. Approximately 620,000 lives were lost in battles between the pro-slavery Confed-erate South and the anti-slavery Union forces of the North. Iowans — more than 75,000 of them — helped carve out a victory for the North. However, an estimated 3,500 Iowans died in battle, and more than 9,400 others died from diseases. Area residents have been able to learn more about Iowa’s impact on the Civil War through a traveling exhibit that made its way to the Rock valley School District parking lot this week. “The Fiery Trial: Iowa and the Civil War,” an enclosed 32-foot trailer exhibit, was open Thursday and Friday and will reopen 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday before leav-ing town. The exhibit, which features placards, video presentations and interactive exhibits, was put together by the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs and launched about a year and a half ago. Rock valley Elementary principal Don Ortman said he found out about the possibility to host the trailer through a mailing and thought it would be a good addition for the school’s annual veterans Day program. “I think the one thing that interested me the most was Iowa had the highest per-centage of any state participating in the Civil War,” Ortman said. “Iowa even had some women who dressed up like men.” Rock valley funneled many of its classes through the exhibit Thursday and Friday. Ortman said he hopes the students real-

ize the importance of unifying the country and honoring those who fought for free-dom. He also noted the changing racial demo-graphic of N’West Iowa is not completely unlike the Civil War’s black-and-white battle. He said native Iowans need to treat their immigrant neighbors with the respect and compassion they are afforded by living in a free country. “We have to work hard — no matter what political party you’re for — for the best of our country,” Ortman said.

Mogler competesat national contest

b y a L L I S o n S U e S S eS t a ff W ri t e r

INDIANAPOLIS—Drew Mog-ler has a passion for agriculture and recently was able to share it with thousands of others. Mogler, a 2012 graduate of West Lyon High School near Inwood, placed fourth in the public speaking competition at the 2012 National FFA Organi-zation Convention and Expo. He qualified for nationals after winning the state com-petition in April and traveled along with the West Lyon FFA group to Indianapolis Oct. 24-27. “It was amazing. I really don’t know how to describe it. It was something that exceeded my expectations of myself,” the 18-year-old son of Dwight and Donna Mogler of Alvord native. “I know that my parents were out there, and they didn’t really expect me to go that far, and I didn’t either.” Mogler advanced through three stages to land himself a place in the finals with his speech about the challenges and opportunities his genera-tion will face with feeding the growing population projected at 9 billion by 2050. The global demand for food is expected to double in that time. He focused his presentation about how finding new land to grow crops is becoming a challenge, so the agriculture industry will need to develop and apply efficiency-enhanc-ing technology to meet the demand for food. “I really think that is going to start in the United States,” Mogler said. “We have some of the best educational institu-tions in the world and we open our doors to people from all over the world and just the col-laboration and the innovation from the people from all over the world.” As a freshman agricultural business major at Iowa State University in Ames, the topic of his speech is something he thinks about daily. He researched information about the global food crises to be able to defend his posi-tion when judges posed ques-tions about the topic after his speech. “When I got up there and spoke, that came from the

heart; it was natural,” Mogler said. “When the judges asked me questions, I had to think on my feet.” Although he did not take first place at nationals, Mogler was honored at the prospect of being included in the national finals for public speaking. “My dad did this same compe-tition many years ago. He made it to the national competition, too. He received a silver rating; he didn’t advance on to the second round or the finals,” he said. “When I found out I made the gold round, I had to give my dad a little bit of hard time that he exceeded his achievement. It was kind of unbelievable.”

FAITHContinued from page A1professor of theology and culture at Regent College in vancouver, British Columbia.

“What I want to do is give the kind of lecture that I have given on secular university campuses to model for you what I hope is a way of engaging our friends that are not yet Christians, our friends that are wondering about Jesus Christ in a world of religious leaders, who are wondering about why would I chose to be a Christian when I could choose to be any one of a number of other things.”

Everything is beautiful Before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Stackhouse said there was a general consensus among North Americans that all religions are good. “We might actually think they’re terrible, but at least if we’re liberal, open, tolerant, urbane sorts of people, the sorts of people who work for the mainstream media, the types of people who would work at major universities — the major opinion shapers

— would have a general sense that all the religions are pretty good no matter which one you pick,” he said. “In fact, to go back to a terrible pop song from the 1970s, the attitude was that ‘Everything is Beauti-ful.’” Following 9/11, however, Ray Stevens’ Grammy Award-winning single was put on the back burner as the popularized attitude. “After 9/11 it was now OK, in fact it was now required to say that at least some religions are bad,” Stackhouse said. “The religions that fly planes into buildings are clearly bad; they’re just evil, and by deriva-tion, other religions are bad as well, so the broad tolerant cultural relativism that said all religions are good had to take a step back.”

Births of the lords Stackhouse calls on the births of the lords to understand vari-ous religions. “Narratives of Genesis tell us a lot about the character or a person or movement or an institution, how something gets going stamps it for quite a long time,” he said. “Each of the major world religions has a

narrative about its founder that tells us something not only about the founder but by very strong implications about the religion itself.”

Laozi Laozi was born several hun-dred years before the common era and emerged from his mother’s womb already fully grown. “In fact, he was 65 years old, but in a gesture of Chinese filial piety, he immediately dropped to all fours and acted like a baby for a while and accepted milk and small nourishments, but very quickly after that, he stood to his feet and began his distinctive career as the primary philosopher of the reli-gion philosophy we know was Taoism,” Stackhouse said, add-ing that Laozi’s birth reflects a religion that primarily is about wisdom.

Buddha Gautama Siddharta was born painlessly out of his mother’s side as she leaned against a palm tree. As he was born, flow-ers descended from heaven,

birds sang and the weather rip-ened, indicating an auspicious occasion. The child himself was born with the 33 auspicious signs on his body showing that he was destined for greatness, includ-ing elongated earlobes, golden skin and webbed fingers and toes,” Stackhouse said. “All of these were signs that he was born for greatness.” His father, however, decided he wanted his son to become a great king like himself, so he imprisoned him in a trio of posh palaces, from which he never was allowed to escape. Finally, Siddharta had his driver take him out, and he had a powerful religious experience that led him to pursue Hindu-ism for a while. “He found that didn’t satisfy, so he sat quietly under a tree and thought and meditated and stared out at the world and into his own soul until he saw the way things are, until the lights came on and he became the enlightened one — the Buddha in a sense, which is the word for enlightened,” Stack-house said. “His very birth tells

us that this man would make a huge difference in the world and that all the forces of nature were conspiring together to produce this amazing figure of insight.”

Krishna Before Krishna even was born, there was a threat on his life. “He is an avatar or a per-sonification of the great god vishnu, and the Demon king had threatened to kill him at birth, so he was switched in the womb between his queenly mother and a peasant girl,” Stackhouse said. “What was born in the king’s palace was not in fact Lord Krishna, but he was born instead in the coun-tryside.” Krishna was distinguished by his blue skin, showing his heavenly origin, and his mischievous nature led him to steal sweets when he was young, play his flute, dance and multiply himself into various bodies to make love simultane-ously to multiple women at the same time. “The idea of this fantastic story is that vishnu comes to be close to us, even takes on a form like ours, although not exactly like ours because of the blue skin, and he shows his love and care and affection for us in ways appropriate for a young child and a young man, so that he is the god of approach-ability, the god of kindness,” Stackhouse said. “vishnu is the god we can approach with confidence about his love and care for us.”

Jesus Stackhouse was quick to point out that the story of Jesus is not as interesting as the other three. “It’s just a peasant couple, and they don’t have much money, and they’re stuck without a place to stay, and they have a kid,” he said. “In fact, it’s not even just ordinary, it’s kind of unseemly, because they’re not even married, and this woman has a kid and has to put him in a stable feeding trough.” The angels appear to the shepherds — the least repu-table people in the economy

— to say the savior of Israel has been born, and a sign — a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger will be found. “This is the exciting sign that God has come close to us to save the world is that there will be a baby wrapped up in baby clothes lying in a feeding trough,” Stackhouse said. “That’s the sign, but again, it’s religiously significant, because this religion says that God has come onto us so close to us that he is indistinguishable from anybody else. He doesn’t have blue skin, he doesn’t have gold skin, he doesn’t have a long beard; he’s a baby that is distinguishable frankly only by his poverty. “That’s how you’ll know, that there’s a baby so poor that it’s actually lying in a manger, and that’s going to characterize the work of this great lord.”

Important decisions The main question Stack-house presents is:

How do we decide among the various religious options that are available to us in the global situation which we find ourselves in today? “How would one know and how would you decide? In this welter of religious options, how would a responsible person, how would you say to somebody else here’s how you decide between Christianity and Buddhism?” he said. “The same way we decide anything else, namely: What corre-sponds to your knowledge of the world? What coheres with the other things you think you know? What helps you live as you think you ought to live? Everybody has to decide this for themselves, and that’s how we decide about any big deci-sion. Since religions are about everything, everything per-tains.” In fact, Stackhouse said choosing a religion is so impor-tant, one should do it as if their life depended on it. “That’s actually the most controversial and difficult thing I’ve had to say in public speaking whenever I give this lecture, because most people are not thinking about these issues with the seriousness they deserve,” he said. “In fact, being a middle class North American means spending most of your time comfort-ably not thinking about the big questions in life and enjoying the insulation we’ve wrapped around ourselves in death, about what’s going to happen next.”

‘Think about issues with seriousness they deserve’

Students, faculty and community members filled B.J. Haan Auditorium on the cam-pus of Dordt College in Sioux Center on Monday morning to listen to a lecture by Canadian theology professor John Stackhouse. The presentation was titled “Buddha, Krishna, Muhammad, Jesus: What’s the Difference — and What Difference Does it Make?” (Photo by Rylan Howe)

JOHN STACKHOUSE: nJohn Stackhouse Jr. is a professor of theology and culture at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia. he holds a doctorate in history and theology of Christianity, having attended Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario; Wheaton College Graduate School in illinois; and the University of Chicago in illinois. Author of several books, including “Making the Best of it: Following Christ in the Real World,” Stackhouse also has written articles for the new York times, Atlantic Monthly, the Washington Post and Maxim. he and his family live in Vancouver.

MAXIM: When introducing John Stackhouse Jr., Dordt College junior Dirk Oudman indicated the theology and culture professor’s name once had appeared in the pages of Maxim, a magazine with the motto “The Ultimate Guys’ Guide.” “i don’t know where you dug up that bit about me being in Maxim magazine. that was just for a photo shoot,” Stackhouse joked. “Actually, it is true, but i thought they’d taken that off the net. there is no hiding from the internet. they once called me and said they wanted to ask a question about the problem of evil, and at that time, this was early in their publishing career, and i had no idea what Maxim magazine was, so i gave them a theological answer and it ended up in the pages of Maxim magazine.”

FIRST MONDAY SERIES: nthe First Mondays Speakers Series’ mission is to bring biblically-based thinkers, writer and opinion leaders to dordt College in Sioux Center. through enriching academic experiences, the series equips students, alumni and the broader community to work effectively toward Christ-centered renewal in contemporary life.

RESULTSContinued from page A1receiving 349 more votes than Bos to replace Blythe Bloemendaal, who is retiring after a dozen years at the post. The 48-year-old vander Stoep of Doon is chief deputy of the sheriff’s department, a position he was appointed to in 2001. He made a run for the sheriff in the June 5 primaries but narrowly was defeated by Bos, 43, of Larchwood, a deputy sheriff who earned the Repub-lican nomination for Tuesday’s general election by a nine-vote edge, 1,365-1,356. vander Stoep said he initially was a little hesitant about mak-ing another run for the position with Lyon County being so Republican-heavy, but decided he could not let the opportu-nity pass and gathered more than the required 86 signatures, turning in about 150 endorse-ments, to file by petition for the general election. The Osceola County sheriff’s race also featured two candi-dates — current sheriff Doug Weber, 56, of Ashton, who was seeking re-election to his third term, and Matthew Block, 32, of Spencer, who filed by peti-tion to be included on the gen-eral election ballot — although the result was decidedly differ-ent. Weber received more than 58 percent of the vote to Block’s 41 percent for the nomina-tion during the June county primaries. voters again favored Weber on Tuesday as he received more than 63 percent of the vote to continue his role. While incumbent Dan Altena, 53, of Sioux Center was the only name on the ballot for Sioux County sheriff, former sheriff Jim Schwiesow, 74, of Orange City, had actively campaigned as a write-in candidate this fall. Schwiesow served as sheriff from 1977 until retiring in 2004, the year Altena was elected. Schwiesow said residents approached him about run-ning for office again, but he was defeated as Altena received 94 percent of votes cast for the position. County supervisor races proved to be eventful, as well, with 10 seats being contested. In Lyon County, Mark Behrens, 56, of George, received the Dis-trict 3 seat after defeating Mike Estep, 50, of rural George and Republican incumbent Mike Modder, 60, of rural George. Modder was charged with nonfelonious misconduct for selling scrap iron and div-ing the profits among several employees of the county’s sec-ondary roads department dur-ing an investigation into former county engineer Jeff Williams, who was charged with second-degree theft, a Class D felony, and three counts of nonfeloni-ous misconduct of office, seri-ous misdemeanors, in July.

Behrens, who served a four-year term as a supervisor, was beaten by Modder in 2008. O’Brien County featured three contested races for Dis-trict 2, District 3 and District 5. Republican John Steensma, 70 , of Sanbor n defeated Democrat Greg Fritzsche, 59, of Primghar and nominated-by-petition incumbent John

Haack, 64, of Sanborn with 61.5 percent of the vote. Republican Nancy McDow-ell, 31, of Sheldon earned the District 3 seat by defeating Democrat Dennis Brouwer, 63, of Sheldon by 3,750 votes. Republican Dan Friedrich-sen, 48, of Sutherland received more than 71.2 percent of the vote to defeat Democrat

Darwin Dau of Paullina for the District 5 seat. Osceola County featured four contested supervisor races for the District 1, District 2, District 4 and District 5 seats. Nominated-by-petition can-didate LeRoy DeBoer, 65, of Sibley defeated Republican nominee Rochelle Buchman, 70, of Sibley for the District 1

seat. DeBoer earned 257 votes compared to Buchman’s 231. Republican Jayson vande Hoef, 37, of Sibley, unseated nominated-by-petition incum-bent Roger Sixta, 73, of rural Ocheyedan for the District 2 seat with a 187-vote edge. GOP incumbent Phil Boots-ma, 54, of Melvin retained his District 3 seat by defeating

nominated-by-petition Bill Imhoff, 72, of Ashton, 370-247. Republican Merlin Sanders-feld, 56, of rural Harris defeated nominated-by-petition candi-date Ed Jones, 37, of Ocheye-dan for the District 5 seat. Sandersfeld had about 68.6 percent of the vote, and also defeated Jones by 20 votes in the county primary elections.

DERAILContinued from page A1heard a startling noise outside their acreage one mile south of Lester on Dove Avenue. “I t h o u g h t a n a i r p l a n e crashed. It was terrible,” said Bev, 51. In a half-awake state, Brian thought it was a snowplow. It was neither. Less than a half mile east of their home, a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train had derailed into a tangled mess of steel railcars. “It didn’t last very long. It was a couple minutes, and it was all over,” Bev said. “We both heard it, but when we heard it, we really didn’t say anything to each other.” The Moglers rolled over in bed until about 6 a.m. when they got call from the Lyon County Sheriff’s Department notifying them of the derailment. A couple hundred yards to the

north, Brian and April Monen’s slumber never was interrupted. “Usually, with anything, I wake up, but I slept right through it,” said 37-year-old Brian Monen. He woke up early to prepare for a day of deer hunting when he got an incoming call from the sheriff’s department. “I was in the basement when

the phone rang. I thought, ‘This can’t be good at 5:30 in the morning,’” Brian Monen said. Within an hour, 12 homes within a two-mile radius of the accident had been evacuated due to a train car that had been compromised and was leaking liquefied petroleum gas. The Moglers and the Monens both had family in Lester they

could stay with during the evacuation. According to BNSF spokes-person Amy McBeth, 22 train cars were derailed on the 100-car train being pulled by two locomotives from Sioux City to Willmar, MN. Fifty-two of the cars were car-rying a variety of freight ranging from fuel to concrete. The other 48 were empty. A cause for the accident re -mains under investigation. “We’ll look at the conditions of the track, the equipment, train handling. We leave the investigation open for as long as it takes to be able to evalu-ate those things to prevent that from happening again in the future,” McBeth said. Neither of the two-member crew operating the train was hurt. Crews began to clear the debris shortly after the acci-dent and worked nonstop through Sunday night using

portable lights. Dozens of cars and debris-removal equipment from R.J. Corman Derailment Services of Nicholasville, KY, arrived Monday to help clean up the aftermath. Haz-Mat Response of Omaha, NE, also was on scene to assist in the cleanup efforts along with the Lester Fire Department. One major issue was how to handle the rail tanker leaking the liquefied petroleum gas. BNSF called in its own experts and other environmental experts to determine the best course of action. They decided to conduct a controlled vent and burn process. About 9:30 a.m. Monday, crews punctured the com-promised train car to leak the remaining fuel out into a trench reservoir. They used a charge to ignite the fuel, which allowed black smoke to billow into the low-hanging, overcast sky. “It burns off quickly and it

occurs in a controlled manner,” McBeth said. The fire burned for about four hours Monday. Neighbors were evacuated from their homes for about 30 hours as a precaution, but were allowed to return home around noon Monday. The track was reopened for use on Tuesday morning. McBeth said incidents like these are relatively rare. “Railroads have some of the lowest injury and accident rates in the transportation industry. BNSF has one of the lowest in the industry,” she said. The investigation will take place over the next month and must be report to the Federal Railroad Administra-tion by Dec. 31. McBeth said BNSF generally takes the full allotment of time to submit the report at which time it will become a matter of public record.

WIGGINS RETENTION: Sheldon native Bob Vander Plaats pushed hard throughout N’West Iowa to make sure Iowa Supreme Court Assistant Chief Justice David Wiggins was not retained. Those results were not seen statewide, with voters opting to retain the West Des Moines justice by approving his retention with a 54.6 percent “yes” vote. He needed a simple majority to retain his seat. “i want to thank everybody who worked so hard to keep politics out of our courts, and i want to thank the people of iowa who preserved the fairness and impartiality of iowa’s courts and agree that equal means equal,” said Wiggins on Wednesday in a statement through the iowa Judicial Branch. By law, iowa voters are given the authority to vote out justices if they deem necessary with a simple majority. this fall the retention target was squarely fixed on Wiggins, who was part of the unanimous Varnum v. Brian decision in 2009 that ruled iowa’s defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional. the decision paved the way to allow same-sex marriage. Vander Plaats, CeO of the Family Leader and co-chair of the iowans for Freedom organization aimed at removing Wiggins from office, thanked iowans for their support in holding activist judges in check in a news release on Wednesday. “We believe the people of iowa are winners even though we fell short of removing david Wiggins from the bench. iowans know judicial activism when they see it, thanks to the retention efforts in both 2010 and 2012,” Vander Plaats said. “iowans know more about judicial retention than any other time in history and have established the template to hold activist judges accountable.”

MUSICContinued from page A1performers in the state. Two N’West Iowa students

— Caleb Rohrer and Adam Tecken — have been chosen as the best of the best every year of their high school careers and will join more than 1,000 other students in performing at the 66th annual Iowa All-State Music Festival concert on Saturday, Nov. 17, in Iowa State University’s Hilton Coliseum in Ames.

Caleb Rohrer Rohrer, a 17-year-old senior at MOC-Floyd valley High School in Orange City, considers his violin his “life partner.” “There’s that moment on vio-lins, of course some violins are different, but when the bow is right for you and you’ve found the right violin and you hit all the notes and play just right, you have that feeling that it’s just correct, and it feels really good,” he said. “Practicing is a pain, but when you do play it right, you tend to forget you’re practicing and just have fun.” Rohrer began playing the stringed instrument when he was in third grade. “My mom had a friend who was trying to get rid of a violin,” he said. “She bought it for like $20 and brought it home and set it down and asked who was going to learn the thing, and I decided to try to beat my brother to it and raised my hand first.” His younger brother, Aaron, plays classical guitar and French horn. Auditioning for the high school Iowa All-State Music Festival became a consider-ation in Rohrer’s mind when he was in eighth grade. One of his judges at the annual solo and ensemble music festival told Rohrer he wanted to see him audition for the select group. “I decided to audition for all-state then, and I didn’t take it very seriously,” Rohrer said. “I had people telling me I wasn’t going to make it.” Rohrer, however, proved those naysayers wrong. After deciding to pick up his practicing habits at the last minute, Rohrer was able to nab a seat in the orchestra on second violin. And he’s done so every year since, although he’s

graduated to the more presti-gious first-violin part. Rohrer’s regimen in prepara-tion was the same each fall. “I look over everything to get the notes and the rhythms down beforehand, and I don’t really start working on musical-ity and speed until about the last week,” he said. “Maybe I’ll take a day off or two or pull a few all-nighters, but I try to get the full 8-10 hours in, and most of my practice comes in the last week and day of.” Rohrer said he was pretty calm while he performed vari-ous scales, a solo of his choice and two Iowa High School

Music Association-designated etudes in front of judges in an otherwise empty classroom at Storm Lake High School on Oct. 20. He was pleasantly surprised when volunteers posted the audition results in the school’s commons areas. “I didn’t need a recall this year, which is the first time in three years I haven’t needed a recall,” Rohrer said, referring to the option judges have of making certain individuals audition again to determine seat place-ment. “It was just nice to know that I was able to make first vio-lin without being considered

for a lower seat placement.” Eighty violinists were selected from across the state for 201-member orchestra. Half of the violinists selected receive the coveted first part. Rohrer is looking forward to being a part of the ensemble for the fourth year. “It’s interesting to find out how many people actually make it the four years,” he said.

“There’s about 1,000 kids, and they usually call about 30 kids for four years, so approxi-mately 3 percent of the kids will make it all four years, so that feels pretty nice.” Rohrer also is impressed with

the music selection. “I’m looking forward to play-ing the first violin part, because we’re doing (Sergei) Prokofiev’s

‘Romeo and Juliet’ from the Montagues and Capulets ballet, and it is a beautiful piece,” he said, adding that “Fantasia in C Minor” by Johann Sebastian Bach and “Danzón No. 2” by Arturo Márquez are the orches-tra’s other selections. Rohrer plans to graduat-ed next spring then take his musical talent to either the University of South Dakota in vermillion or the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls. “My dream would be to pack up and go to New York City and see if I could play for a Broad-way pit, because I’ve played in three pits since my freshman year, and it’s just a lot of fun; really great music,” Rohrer said.

Adam Tecken Adam Tecken can thank his sister for his success in being named to the Iowa All-State Music Festival’s chorus the past four years. If it would not have been for the 19-year-old Anna Tecken, Adam probably never would have auditioned. “My freshman year I didn’t really want to do it,” said the 17-year-old senior at George-Little Rock High School in George, adding that it was his sister who persuaded him to go through with the audition. “It didn’t really interest me all that much, but after my freshman year, I kind of made it a goal of mine to make it all four years.” Tecken proved to be success-ful in reaching that goal. The teenager will join 47 other first tenors in the 599-member

chorus, which will perform “Dominus vobiscum,” “veni Scante Spiritus,” “Skip to My Lou,” “Sure on This Shining Night,” “Ave Maria,” “America the Beautiful” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Tecken, however, is most looking forward to being recog-nized during the concert. “All four-year students get special recognition during the concert, and I’m just looking forward to it being my last year,” he said. “It’s really an enjoyable experience.” Tecken began preparing about five weeks before his Oct. 20 audition in Storm Lake. On audition day, he had about six minutes to rehearse in a practice room after which he waited about 20 minutes before auditioning by himself in front of one judge. “I had to play the pitches and the key and then sing the part of the pieces that they had assigned previously,” Tecken said. Although Tecken is prone to nervousness before his audi-tions, he has a surefire way to calm himself down. “I take deep breaths, and I just kind of think about other things until I get in there, then I just go,” he said. After his audition, Tecken went to the high school’s com-mons to await the results. “I didn’t see my name right away, but as I went down I saw it,” he said. “I try not to expect to get into anything, I just kind of hope.” Te c k e n p l a n s t o a t t e n d Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, MN, although he does not yet know what he wants to study.

Forty-four high school students from the area were chosen to perform at the 66th Iowa All-State Music Festival.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2012 n THE N'WEST IOWA REVIEW/SHELDON, IA A10

Barack Obama has been re-elected to a second term as president,

winning the popular vote and collecting 303 electoral votes. We congratulate the president, and wish him well. The country faces enormous challenges, both at home and around the world. The country needs him to be more successful in his second term than he was in his first. So now that the long election is finally over, we turn our attention to the future of the Republican Party. We live in the most conservative, Republican part of Iowa, if not the country, and that can lead to the conclusion that the rest of the country looks and thinks the way we do. It’s not the case. Republicans have lost the popular vote in the presidential election in five of the past six years. Something needs to change. They say the first step toward change is accepting that you have a problem. Here’s the problem: Republicans don’t perform well enough with the fastest-growing segments of the nation’s population. Obama received 93 percent of the black vote, 75 percent of the Asian vote, 70 percent of the Hispanic vote, 56 percent of the female vote, and 57 percent of the vote from people who described themselves as moderates.

The Republican Party simply cannot limit its appeal to conservative white voters. Not if it expects to win the White House again anytime soon. This is not the America of the 1950s anymore. So what does this mean? Do Republicans have to abandon their long-standing principles and pander to minority voting groups? Of course not. George W. Bush proved that the Republican message can appeal to Hispanics, for example, but not if the presidential candidate is promoting “self-deportations.” Republicans can regain the female vote, but not if tone-deaf Senate candidates keep making divisive comments about rape. Ronald Reagan showed Republicans how to appeal to a broad array of Americans. He did so without being angry and increasingly insular, the two qualities that seem to increasingly define today’s GOP. It’s time that Republicans embraced the “big tent” philosophy and carried the message of economic freedom and opportunism to voting groups that are not just white and male. The times have changed, and the Republican Party needs to change as well. It’s either that, or get used to watching the other side celebrate on Election Night.

The morning after . . .GOP needs to change approach

I’m writing this on Tuesday morning, Election Day, still a few hours before the votes

are counted. By the time you read this (at least I certainly hope so), the country has either re-elected Barack Obama or elected Mitt Romney. If your candidate won, congratulations. If not, there’s always next time. But let’s talk about the next four years. Because I fear it’s not going to matter much who was elected, in terms of getting anything accomplished. The country seems divided to the point of paralysis. Is there nothing we can agree on? Other than the fact that we never again want to hear the phrase, “and I approve this message?” We live in an age of divided government. No matter who is president, there’s a good chance that the other party will have enough votes in Congress to thwart any legislation that is proposed. If you believe the less govern-ment action, the better, you might think paralysis is a good thing. I don’t. There are certain functions we need the government to perform. We need a military to protect us. We need workers to fix highways and bridges. We need judges to keep the courts operating. The list continues. Simply put, there are times when we must work together, no matter if we are Republi-cans, Democrats, indepen-dents or none of the above. I think we’ve lost sight of this. I think we are so convinced that members of the opposing political party are evil that we don’t want to cooperate with them on anything, even those things that are vital to the country. When your house is on fire, are you going to stop and ques-

tion the firefighters as to what political party they belong to? It almost seems we have got-ten to this point, and I’m not sure it’s helpful. At some point it becomes necessary to extin-guish the fire. In my lifetime, the biggest change in politics has been the development and growth of an industry that benefits from keeping the country divided at all times, not just during an election cycle. I would include in this indus-try the opinion shapers and media leaders whose political leanings are obvious — Rush Limbaugh, Rachel Maddow, Sean Hannity, Ed Schultz, MSNBC, Fox News, Huffington Post, Drudge Report and so on. They benefit financially by stoking conflict and keeping their listeners and readers as angry as possible. You can’t do that by suggesting there may be some areas in which com-promise is necessary and even preferred. In addition, we have seen an absolute explosion in the amount of money spent on political campaigns at every level. Candidates Obama and Romney are expected to have spent a combined $2 billion. That’s a staggering amount of money, and the growth is spending has filtered down to

Statehouse races. This has triggered another explosion, in the number of political consultants, pollsters, advertising creators and buyers looking to grab a piece of that financial pie. They made a kill-ing this year, and the best way to keep the money train rolling is keep the country arguing with itself. Sometimes those arguments are necessary. I’m not suggest-ing there is much room for compromise on some of the bigger issues, like abortion or gun control. But it’s clear that on other issues, from tax rates to entitle-ment spending, compromise is going to be required or the country’s problems will undoubtedly worsen. Because here’s the truth of the matter: Neither side has enough votes to get everything it wants all the time. This is how our Founding Fathers intended it, and why they cre-ated a government with so many checks and balances. I fear politicians on both sides of the aisle are so fearful of the other party getting credit for anything that they will auto-matically vote against projects or bills or reforms that might benefit this country. That’s not healthy. Maybe, just for a few months, we could celebrate the end of another election by focusing on the things we agree on and need to accomplish. There’ll be plenty of time afterward to return to yelling at each other, pointing figures and assessing blame. Sadly, that has become the American Way, and it shows no signs of getting better anytime soon.

Hospice caregiversmuch-appreciatedTo The REVIEW: During the month of Novem-ber, the medical profession recognizes National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. Iowa Hospice, serving Spirit Lake and the surrounding area, would like to take this oppor-tunity to salute the very special people who work in this field. Hospice provides a unique blend of clinical, social and spiritual support services for patients and their families. This care adds quality and dignity to the lives of patients facing end-of-life illnesses. The support provided to families allows them to focus on spend-ing quality time with their loved one rather than on care-giving details during this diffi-cult time. Hospice is also there to support the family after their loss. On behalf of Iowa Hospice, A Harden Healthcare company, we would like to say thank you to hospice caregivers for the

important work that they do each and every day.

What happened toethics standards?To The REVIEW: About 12 years ago a Wall Street bond trader, Michael Miliken, was caught in some type of fraudulent activity and sentenced to 10 years in prison. About the same time of his sentencing, by strange coin-cidence, Columbia University announced that it was going to offer a course in “Ethics” to its MBA students. The MBA stu-dents are headed for Wall Street positions. “Ethics” means a “study of good and evil and moral duty.” With that thought in mind, parents teach it first, then schools and religious classes. In fact, the Ten Com-mandments given to mankind thousands of years ago is an

example. During Mr. Miliken’s imprisonment, he had a moral awakening and now lectures on his experiences. When we look at the last few years, violation of ethics pops out one after another. Bernie Madoff and his Ponzi schemes. The Barclays Bank manipu-lating interest rates. It was assessed a $453 million fine but did not admit guilt. Other banks may be charged. JPMorgan Chase’s London high-risk desk lost an estimat-ed $5.6 million. Heads rolled on that one. If you look at the subprime loan evidence, it points to all kinds of fraudulent contracts and taking advantage of naive customers. That financial housing bad debt has now been dumped on our sovereign debt. Our Founding Fathers, in the Constitution, gave us a fantas-tic heritage. It is up to us to set an example for future genera-tions by our ethical standards.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

HEALTHY CONVERSATIONS

October was National Breast Cancer Aware-ness Month. For the

last 25 years, this month has been dedicated to national public service organizations, government agencies and professional medical associa-tions collaborating to promote breast cancer awareness, pro-vide greater access to services and share information on the disease. Breast cancer is the second-most common cancer among American women. Although many women are diagnosed with the disease each year, it is not a common cause of death. Men also are susceptible to breast cancer, but it is not as common. For every 100 diag-noses of the disease, less than one occurs in men. Breast cancer is too small to feel and does not cause signs or symptoms when it starts out. As it grows, however, it can cause changes to how breasts look and feel. A new lump in the breast or underarm is a common indicator. Other symptoms may include pain

in any area of the breast, irrita-tion or swelling of breast skin, changes in appearance of the nipple area and a thickening or swelling in part of the breast. There are numerous, simple ways both women and men can lower their risk of breast cancer:

nControl your weight and exercise regularly.

nKnow your family history of breast cancer. If your mother, sister or daughter has been diagnosed, speak with your doctor about your risk of the disease and how you can lower that risk.

nLearn the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy.

nLimit the amount of alco-hol you drink.

nSpeak with your doctor about scheduling a screening mammogram if you are over 40 years of age. “Regular mammograms are the best way to find breast can-cer early, sometimes even up to three years before it can be felt,” said Dr. Timothy Gusthall, Wellmark’s vice president and chief medical officer.

A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast; you can most likely get a screening mammogram at a clinic, hospital or doctor’s office. If you are 50-74 years old, make sure to have a mam-mogram every two years. If you are over 40, consult with your doctor on when and how often to have a mammogram. Take time to take charge of your own breast health. Octo-ber may have been designated as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but we encourage you to empower and educate yourself and oth-ers on breast cancer through-out the year.

OPINION

Northwest Iowa Sympho-ny Orchestra presented its first concert of the

season to a large and apprecia-tive audience Tuesday evening in Sioux Center in spite of it being Election Night. In what could be considered a brilliant marketing ploy, the organization took the Elec-tion Day excitement one step further by playing an “All-American” musical program. Included in the two-hour performance were pieces by motion picture composer Morton Gould, Aaron Copland, George Gershwin, John Philip Sousa and the organization’s conductor Christopher Stan-ichar. I have to admit it. I’m con-sistently impressed with the quality of this regional orches-tra made up of committed, talented individuals of all ages, including some in their retire-ment years down to a handful of high school students. Many of the 80 members travel great distances to attend the group’s practice sessions and performances. Some of them are professional band and orchestra instructors,

teaching in colleges or school systems as far away as Sioux City, vermillion, SD, and Sioux Falls, SD. Each concert is performed at least twice: that afternoon for area public school students and during the evening for NISO members and guests. Tuesday evening’s program opened with “variations on ‘America’” by William Schuman. Originally written in 1891 for organ, the piece depended heavily on the string bass and brass sections to pro-vide the heavy moodiness and many sudden discords and unusual twists in musical form.

That selection was followed by a wonderful World War II suite titled “American Salute” by Gould. Built around the famous Civil War selection, “When Johnny Comes March-ing Home,” it showcased almost every section of the orchestra in a fluid presenta-tion of wonderfully forceful music. The first half of the concert concluded with “Indepen-dence Overture,” an original 12-minute overture written by Stanichar for the Omaha Symphony Orchestra in 2007. Alive with soaring, uplifting melodies, it is an exciting musical piece that traces the notes of a single instrument as they are multiplied through the entire organization. The notes represent, according to the composer, the movement of an idea or positive spirit from one individual throughout an entire community. During the intermission, or halftime, as Norma Snyder Jones, chairperson of the NISO board called it, I took time to introduce myself to John Casey of Sioux Falls, the orchestra’s principle string bassist who

additionally teaches string bass at Dordt College. Casey was brought to my attention by my nephew, Chris Wagner, while Connie and I were in Switzerland recently. Chris, who played string bass for a number of years with Swiss and other European orches-tras, remembered playing beside Casey while both were students in the orchestra at Northwestern University in Chicago. My wife and I had the opportunity to hear Chris play for the first time while staying in his home in Switzerland. “Chris is a very talented indi-vidual,” Casey shared with me during our short conversation. “What he didn’t tell you was that we were music stand part-ners while in college. He was a freshman and I was a graduate student. But despite my being the older one, he was first chair while I was second for our stand.” The second half of the eve-ning program kicked off with “Four Dance Episodes from ‘Rodeo’” by Copland. Included in it is the famous “Hoe-Down” which has become most famil-iar as the background music

for the television commercials for “Beef, it’s what’s for dinner.” Stanichar really got into the excitement of that fast-paced piece by placing a big, black cowboy hat on his head. Then came the highlight of the evening: Gershwin’s “Amer-ican Rhapsody,” later renamed “Rhapsody in Blue.” Gershwin, it often is told, had forgotten he’d promised jazz orchestra leader Paul White-man that he’d compose and perform the piece until just days before the scheduled preview. Not able to score all of it in the limited time available, the composer provided White-man with just the orchestra-tion, saying he would impro-vise the piano solos. It was the final piece of a long, drawn-out evening when pre-miered, but is reported to have brought the audience to life with its memorable melody, constant shifts in tempo and sudden crescendos. The solo piano was perfectly executed by Ksenia Nosikova, the eve-ning’s guest artist. It was a wonderful evening of music that ended with an appropriate encore: “The Stars

and Stripes Forever” complete with an Uncle Sam’s hat on the head of the conductor and enthusiastic clapping by mem-bers of the audience. N’West Iowa is fortunate to have such a fine symphony right in our four-county area. I only wish more individuals would set aside the time to attend the concerts. Those who haven’t done so don’t know what they are missing. As you can see from this review the emphasis is on good music not an endless presenta-tion of heavy, sometimes dif-ficult to understand or unap-preciated classical material. The next program, “A Night at the Movies,” is scheduled for Saturday evening, Feb. 2. Do your family a favor and make plans now to attend. You’ll find it to be an inexpensive invest-ment for the value received and a wonderful introduction to truly great entertainment.

Q: What are the rules for pedestrians? They walk like they own the streets. Some-times it’s difficult to see them and they tend not to move out of the way of vehicles.

A: Most people don’t know that out of every five people killed in traf-fic crashes, one is a pedestrian. And with more than 32,000 lives lost last year in traffic crashes, that is way too many pedestrians. This is a question that was posed by two separate readers recently, so it would be fair to say that this issue needs attention.

It would be reasonable to start this discussion by draw-ing distinction between the “roadway” and “sidewalk.” The Iowa Code defines “roadway” as: “That portion of a highway improved, designed or ordinar-ily used for vehicular travel” (321.1[65]). The code defines “sidewalk” as: “That portion of the street . . . intended for the use of pedes-trians.” (321.1[72]) What is clear from these definitions is that the road was designed for use by vehicular traffic, and the sidewalk for pedestrians. Does that mean that pedestrians are prohibited from walking or running on the road? The answer is no, but there are requirements that

pedestrians have to meet. Iowa Code 321.325 begins by stating that pedestrians are subject to traffic control signals just like vehicles. At intersections, pedestrians are required to cross within the crosswalks if provided, obeying the walk/no walk signals. When traffic control sig-nals are not in place, 321.327 specifies that motorists are required to yield to pedes-trians crossing in marked or unmarked crosswalks. Code Section 321.328 goes on to require pedestrians to yield to motorists if they are cross-ing the street at any other point than a marked or unmarked crosswalk. As to walkers or joggers on

our road, code Section 321.326 requires this to be done on the left side of the road, against traffic. Joggers should be as far left on the road as possible, and yield to oncoming traffic. Walkers also should be as far left as possible, and walk in single file when oncoming traf-fic is present. Remember that the road was designed for vehicular traffic . . . if there is a sidewalk available, make use of it. In conclusion, code Section 321.329 gives the best remind-er for all motorists when encountering pedestrians. It states: “Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 321.328 every driver of a vehicle shall exercise due care to avoid col-

liding with any pedestrian upon any roadway and shall give warning by sounding the horn when necessary and shall exercise due care upon observ-ing any child or any confused or incapacitated person upon a roadway.” Motorists need to give all consideration to pedestrians on the road. Maintain a safe speed with a good following distance. Avoid distractions, especially in school zones or downtown areas where pedes-trians are more numerous. Drive defensively, expecting pedestrians to be present. Know what you are going to do to prevent a collision. Pedestrians do not have a blank check, however. Be

aware of your surroundings when walking and running. Avoid playing loud music through your ear buds that could mask the sound of oncoming traffic. Wear cloth-ing that makes you visible, especially in low light condi-tions. “Jaywalking” as stated above is a violation that might not result in a fine, but could cost your life. Motorists and pedestrians both have responsibilities when it comes to traffic safety. By taking them seriously, we can reduce the number of vehicle/pedestrian crashes.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2012 n THE N'WEST IOWA REVIEW/SHELDON, IA A12

NEWS

POLLSContinued from page A1the GOP nominee for presi-dent, in the Electoral College, 303-206, which included six electoral votes from Iowa. Obama also won the popular vote by about 2.3 percent or about 2.8 million votes. Ten-year-old Zac Stellinga of Sheldon parlayed a trip to the orthodontist into his first expo-sure at the voting booth with his mother, vickie, who cast her ballot at the Sheldon Commu-nity Services Center. “It was cool,” Zac said. “He said the ballot looked confusing, because it wasn’t just the two candidates,” said vickie, 39. When the election returns came in following Iowa poll clo-sures at 9 p.m., vickie learned her ballot helped Obama in his re-election to the White House. “I think it takes longer than four years to get your finances figured out,” vickie said. “For my finances it takes a lot of time to get in order. Let’s give him eight years to do it. I’m

hoping in four years something great will happen.” Election night also was turned out good results for 36-year-old Damian Perkins of Sheldon who cast his ballot for Obama with is 3-year-old daughter Damiana by her side. He was skeptical of some of Romney’s business decisions which tipped the scales in Obama’s direction. “I think slowly the economy is coming back,” he said. “I read the newspapers and they’re always full of jobs.” vickie Stellinga and Damian Perkins were in the minority among the presidential votes counted in N’West Iowa. Of the more than 25,000 bal-lots cast in the four-county region of N’West Iowa, 76 per-cent were in favor of Romney compared to 22.6 percent for Obama. A smattering of other candidates accounted for the other 1.4 percent. Sioux County delivered the highest percentage for Romney at 82 percent. Obama got his highest percentage in the area from Osceola County voters —

28.5 percent — although the most raw votes for the presi-dent in N’West Iowa, 1,964, came from O’Brien County. Statewide, Obama pulled in about 807,000 votes compared to about 723,000 from Romney. Obama finished with 51.8 per-cent of the vote with Romney taking in 46.4 percent and third-party candidates com-bining for 1.8 percent. Kaleb van Ginkel, 19, of Sheldon was voting in his first presidential election. He comes from a family of Republicans and did not stray when it came to casting his own ballot. He thought Obama did not fol-low through with some of the

promises he made and figured Romney could do a better job putting people back to work. “I think he’s got good financial and business skills,” van Ginkel said. Correne Schmidt of Sheldon also was a Romney supporter and thought he would have done a good job with the econ-omy. “I know there are a lot of peo-ple who don’t care for him, just like there is with every person,” said Schmidt, 70. “He’s been successful in his businesses. I would rather do business with someone who has been suc-cessful.” Barb Hibma of Sheldon did

not know who she was going to vote for even the morning of the election, but by time the 59-year-old pushed in a stroller carrying her two grandchildren Nayibe, 3, and James Diaz, 7 months, into the voting line, she had decided to vote for Romney. “Anything can happen, so

I waited until the very end,” Hibma said. “I prayed about it this morning and that’s the way I voted.” N’West Iowa voters turned out in droves with better than three-quarters of registered voters showing up at the polls. A number of residents voted on same-day registration.

Young people happy forchance to cast ballots

SHELDON—The youth vote was essential for Democratic President Barrack Obama’s victory in the 2008 general election. In 2012, a crop of new, young voters made their way to the polls for the first time to cast their ballots. Four Sheldon High School seniors — Chris Balster, Alissa Jager, Brittany van Gorp and Grant Weaver — shared their thoughts prior to casting their first vote Tuesday:

Q: Who are you voting for in the presidential race and why? Balster: I plan on voting for Romney. I agree with most of his ideas, and I disagree with a lot of Obama’s ideas. Jager: I’m voting for Romney. Obama seems like he’s just spending all the

money, but there’s nothing to show for it. Van Gorp: I’m voting for Romney, too, because I agree with what he plans to do. Obama hasn’t done any-thing. That’s why. Weaver: I will be voting for Mitt Romney because I match up with most of his ideas, and I don’t feel like Obama has done too terribly much.

Q: What was it like learning about the candidates and deciding who you wanted to support? Balster: I would listen to the debates and look at their views and compare them to mine, and it helped me pick who I wanted to vote for. Jager: I paid attention more in government class and stuff like that because I wanted to know what I was voting for. Van Gorp: I looked into it a lot more, too, just because I knew I was voting, so I actually cared. Weaver: I’d say I looked a little bit more into it. I actually cared more. I

actually tried to stay up on the ideas, stay up on the topics.

Q: Why do you think it’s important for young people to get out to the polls? Balster: It’s our generation that needs to help make changes and bring our country back to the top. Jager: It’s our right to vote and we need to take control. Van Gorp: We can make an impact. Women fought hard to vote, so we need to take advantage of that. Weaver: It shows that we care. I believe we have views and we need to express that we can go out there and change the country.

Q: What are some of the issues that voters your age find most impor-tant? Why? Van Gorp: Obamacare. I don’t agree with it. Weaver: I’d say just the overspending that’s been going on. They always say “Oh, the next generation is going to get

stuck with the bill.” You can’t go much further into debt without actually hav-ing to do something about it.

Q: What change do you hope to see in the next four years? Jager: We need to spend, but there has to be something to show for it. I feel like Obama doesn’t have anything to show for it. Weaver: Stop all our spending. We still do need to help some people, but we can’t just go and spend money, because we don’t have the money to spend.

Q: With college on the horizon, how did the candidates’ stances on higher education affect your decision? Weaver: It hasn’t really affected my choice, not too much at least. I guess the student aid thing, Romney/Ryan want to cut some of it. The thing is I know I’ll need some, so it’s kind of hard to vote for Romney/Ryan when that’s against what I believe, but most of my ideas fit with Romney/Ryan.”

Bill Zenk rarely carried guns, grenades or combat gear during World War II, but the Boyden man played an instrumental role in America’s success in the Pacific Theatre and Philippine liberation. Zenk helped lay infrastructure for roads, air-port runways and hospitals on the island coun-try of New Guinea and other islands off its coast

north of Australia. “Most of the time we didn’t meet up with too much opposi-tion,” said the 95-year-old Zenk. The work of the 46th Engineer Regiment was no less impor-tant for the U.S. Army as it not only cut off the Japanese from

establishing strongholds, but it gave the American forces staging areas for conducting their own operations. Zenk was drafted into the U.S. Army at age 24 in 1941. He went through his 13-week basic training at Fort Leonard Wood in central Missouri and was assigned to the 46th Engi-neer Regiment based in Camp Bowie in Texas. “Our main tasks were to build roads and airports for heavy bombers,” Zenk said. During his training in Camp Bowie, he broke both of his arms in a motorcycle accident while serving as a messenger. He was discharged from a field hospital just before Thanks-giving Day 1941 for a three-week furlough back to Iowa. It was during that leave that America experienced a day that has lived in infamy — Dec. 7, 1941 — the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Within a month Zenk found himself and a couple thousand others on a converted Swedish-American crew ship for a 38-day voyage to the South Pacific. They landed at Cape York, Australia, in early February 1942. Zenk, who spent 40 months overseas, did not stay in Cape York long. He spent most of his time in New Guinea. He was among a crew that built airfields and other

A SALUTE TO OUR VETERANS

ZENKContinued from page B1infrastructure at Port Moresby, Milne Bay, the Trobriand Islands, Hollandia and the In -donesian province of Biak. “As soon as we’d get to shore, we’d put in an airport,” Zenk said. “We would drive the Japa-nese back far enough that we could put in a runway.” The majority of movement in the area happened April-July 1944. The Japanese had set up a stronghold at New Britain Island just off the eastern coast of New Guinea. U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur concocted a plan to cut use American forces to cut off Japanese access to the island through a blockade in which Zenk was involved. “Gen. MacArthur did a great move by closing up the island so the Japanese could not have a base there,” Zenk said. The process to put in a runway often was an aggres-sive effort. When troops had pushed Japanese forces far enough away, Zenk and his comrades came in with bull-dozers and other leveling equipment and built runways up to a mile long. The crews worked 24/7 to complete the projects, taking shifts as needed. “I went as long as 36 hours without sleep at times,” Zenk said. The crews could put in a runway in about three weeks. The process started by tearing up part of a jungle by remov-ing the trees. They then pushed dirt to the sides, leveling the ground, then slowly bringing the dirt back in small amounts, compacting until it was 16-18 inches thick. Most of the runways were made of dirt, but one used steel and another was even constructed from crushed coral p u l l e d f r o m t h e nearby ocean. Z e n k h a d a n opportunity to work for some of the war’s best leaders. “ We h a d s o m e smart generals,” he said. “MacArthur w a s o n e o f t h e smartest ones. He saved a lot of lives with the way he operated. He was one of the best leaders we had in World War II.” Zenk got to watch MacArthur up close on several occasions in New Guinea. He remembers seeing him smoke his well-known corncob pipe. Troops began leaving New Guinea early in 1945, but only

three or four were dismissed at a time from their Army regiment of 300, and Zenk was one of the last seven on the island. He was working on a hospital in Buna and roads around Gona in 1945 when he was informed his deployment was ending. Zenk boarded a ship in Hol-

landia and made the month-long sail back to the United States. He traveled under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco upon his return. “You never had a better feeling in life than when you touched land,” Zenk said. He was officially discharged on May 29, 1945, at the Jeffer-son Barracks, 10 miles south of St. Louis. The war lasted until early August 1945 when U.S. airmen effectively ended World War II by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Zenk was engaged to his wife, Millie, when he left for the war. They were married in September 1945 and recently celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary. The couple com-municated at least once a week by letters during their nearly 40

months apart. Zenk has lived in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and two difference residences in Iowa. He has been a Boyden

resident since 1981. His wife grew up near Hull. The couple has two children, four grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

He travels every Monday to Sioux Falls, SD, where he enjoys walking around the Empire Mall for exercise and meeting new people.

He remembers Gen. MacArthur’s corncob pipe

Too many hypocritesToo many hypocritesToo many hypocritesToo many hypocritesToo many hypocritesb y a M b e r c a M P b e L L

“I know too many hypocrites.” That statement is one of the great defenses against fol-lowing Jesus. How can Jesus be

the real thing if so many of his followers live just like everyone else? Please let me be clear here. I know there are real hypocrites in Christianity. There are people who claim to be Christians, but have no intention of following Jesus. They say one thing while intending to do some-thing very different. They are hypocrites, not Jesus followers. And I acknowledge there are Jesus fol-lowers who do things in their lives that are not what Jesus wants. But they are not hypocrites because that is not their inten-tion. But I understand why it might confuse someone. Sometimes people confuse who we were with who we are. Christians get more like Jesus over time. We treat people better, and we grow in our faith and practice. Chris-tians decide to follow Jesus and we pro-claim that publicly when we are baptized. But we spend the rest of our lives growing into what Jesus wants. So do not think that who we were is who we are. Do not think that what we do is always who we are. Sometimes we Christians do

something we should not have done. Or we fail to do something we should have done. That is not who we are. It is not our lifestyle. People think that a Christian commits a sin, then his Christian activities are “living a lie.” But for those living for Jesus, it is the sin that is the lie in our lives. The reality is Jesus. So do not confuse a sinful act with a sinful lifestyle. But, what about the Christians who still have a lifestyle full of sin? Are they hypo-crites? Do they invalidate the claims of Jesus? Not at all. Talk to one of us. You will find that we do not want to live contrary to Jesus. We are praying and working to change our actions to reflect our heart. And if you think our lives are still a mess, we know how much worse they would be without Jesus. Yes, we Christians sin. But we are not hypocrites. Talk to us. We sin, we repent, we com-mit that with God’s help we will become more like Jesus. And every day we become more like Jesus. Over time our life begins to reflect that. Yours can too.

CEDAR RAPIDS—The Sioux Center volleyball team had a week to prepare for its match against Union of La Porte City in the Class 3A state tournament. Considering what happened, the

Warriors probably wish it was just one day between regionals and state. Fourth-ranked Sioux Center went into Thursday’s match with seventh-ranked Union hobbled, and it showed in the end result as the Knights won 25-14, 17-25, 25-8, 23-25, 15-13 in the first round at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena. Sioux Center coach Julie Olden-kamp gave the Warriors one day off after their win in the regional finals on Tuesday, Oct. 30. On the first day after returning to practice,

junior middle hitter Jennifer Buyert tore the anterior cruciate liga-ment (ACL) in her left knee. Buyert showed extreme toughness by refusing to have the knee fixed until after the state tournament, but due to the injury she was not able to do much of what she normally can do. “It’s so hard to see a player like that injured and not able to play to her full ability,” Oldenkamp said. “It’s not just her and what she brings to the table, but also how the

The Dutch, who came into the state tournament ranked third, will face seventh-ranked Union of La Porte City at 2 p.m. in the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena.

It’s been the talk of the town all week and was the elephant in the room long before that, but now a rematch between top-ranked and defending Class 2A state cham-pion Dike-New Hartford and second-ranked Western Christian is a reality. The battle for the 2012 state volleyball title will take place at approximately 4 p.m. today (Saturday, Nov. 10) at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena.

“I’m excited and the girls are excited. We had to make sure we focused on one game at a time, but it was looming in the back of their minds all year,” said Western Christian coach Tammi veerbeek. “We’re where we wanted to be.” Then third-ranked Dike-New Hartford upset top-ranked Western Christian 25-19, 30-28, 25-25 in the 2011 title match. This time, the Wolfpack is considered the underdog.

CEDAR RAPIDS—There is not much season left, but the unpredictable nature of sports means you still might experi-ence something you have not had to deal with before. That’s what happened to second-ranked Western Chris-tian in the final set of its 25-14, 25-13, 25-23 sweep of third-ranked Carroll Kuemper in the semifinals of the Class 2A state volleyball tournament on Friday at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena. The first two sets seemed to be fairly normal for the Wolfpack, who were firmly in control. The third set was quite different. Carroll Kuemper used a kill by senior Moriah Bohlmann, a Western Christian hitting error, a block by senior Lexi Albrecht and a kill by junior Claire Lud-wig to take an 11-6 lead. Western Christian seemed to be shaking it off, immediately scoring four straight points of its own to cut the lead to one. The Knights, however, held on to the advantage and eventu-ally used a setting error, a block by junior Hannah Dentlinger, a passing error by the Wolfpack, an Albrecht kill and another Western Christian error to go up 20-12 lead. Senior Brandi Bueltel had consecutive kills to make it 22-13 in favor of Carroll Kuemper. “That was fun. We finally got control of our emotions and made some adjustments,” said Carroll Kuemper coach Brent Stickrod. “We were aggressive with our blocks. Earlier in the match, we were overly excited. We let the environment control us instead of us taking control of it.” Western Christian coach Tammi veerbeek did not think that stretch was fun, but the situation was educational for the Wolfpack. “I just told the girls, ‘Let’s try to get some momentum back.’ We needed to get some swings and get our offense going,” veerbeek said. “volleyball is a game of errors. We broke down a bit. We had some miscues and they had some good blocks. We couldn’t find the holes. We needed to see the block and cut the ball or do something with it.”

Senior Brooke Wolterstorff said Western Christian had no one but itself to blame for the situation. “Early in the game, we made

our serves and got our hits in. Then we started missing serves and hitting it out of bounds. I guess we just didn’t focus hard enough,” Wolterstorff said.

veerbeek already was out of timeouts in the set, so any comeback would be up to the players. Sophomore Jamie Gesink got the sideout with a kill. A lift call on the Knights and two Wolter-storff kills resulted in Stickrod taking a timeout. Wolterstorff and Gesink combined on a block after the brief stoppage. Junior Jade Schaap had a kill, Carroll Kuemper made a hit-ting error and Schaap ham-mered another kill. Junior Abby Pollema then served an ace to tie the score at 22-22. “In the first two games, our passing was there, and when our passing is good, we can run our quick offense,” Gesink said. “In the third one we made a few errors and then we started get-ting down on ourselves. Coach just told us to stay calm, that we could do it.” Gesink said she was not so sure about that before Western Christian started its rally. “You always hope you can do it,” she said. “It’s so exciting when it happens. Now we know we can come back from any-thing if we just pull together.”

Carroll Kuemper got a side-out to go up 23-22, but three straight errors by the clearly-rattled Knights ended the match. There was no such drama in the first two sets. Western Christian was up 13-9 when it went on a run of five straight points to take control of the first set. Carroll Kuemper never got closer than seven points after that. The Wolfpack was ahead 9-7 before another five-point run tilted the scales in the second set. Yet another five-point run later in the set made it 24-11. “We ran our offense better in the first two games,” veerbeek said. “We passed the ball better. Later, when we didn’t pass it as well, we weren’t as efficient.” She credited the Knights with some solid play in the last set. “They are more balanced than what we saw when we watched them last night,” veerbeek said. “They are good blockers. That last game was great for us. It shows we can come back. We’re playing a very good team tomorrow and we might find ourselves down, so it’s good

we’ve been in this situation and can see we can do it if we put our minds to it.” Wolterstorff led Western Christian with 15 kills. Gesink put up 31 assists. Junior Sum-mer Jansen was 17-for-17 serving. Junior Alissa Pollema had two ace serves and led the team with 11 digs. Jansen con-tributed nine digs. Junior Haley Moss had six assisted blocks and Wolterstorff had five. Bueltel led Carroll Kuemper with six kills. Junior Morgan Naberhaus had 20 assists and was 12-for-12 serving. Junior Karla Knobbe had eight digs and Naberhaus had seven. Dentlinger had one solo block and two assisted blocks. Western Christian improved to 43-3 going into a state title rematch with Dike-New Hart-ford at 4 p.m. today (Saturday, Nov. 10). “It was nice to get this one in three games even though we didn’t play our best in every game,” Wolterstorff said. “I’m just so excited for tomorrow. This is amazing.” Carroll Kuemper ended its season at 33-6.

WOLFPACKContinued from page C1 “In last year’s final, taking nothing away from Dike-New Hartford, because they played well, but we did not play well,” veerbeek said. “We were hop-ing we would get another chance at them.” Western Christian sophomore setter Jamie Gesink said the team is ready for the challenge. “It’s been in the back of our mind that they got us,” Gesink said. “We’ve got our chance now. We need to be a team and play as one unit. We need to pass and serve. We need to do it all.” Both teams come in with championship credentials. Dike-New Hartford is 44-0 on the season. The Wolverines have lost only two sets all year. Dike-New Hartford beat 12th-ranked Sumner-Fredericksburg and fifth-ranked Council Bluffs St. Albert to earn a spot in the final. Dike-New Hartford has only one senior in the starting lineup, libero Morgan Samec. Sophomore Briana Weber is third in Class 2A in kills this season with 485, including 32 in the first two rounds of the state tournament. Sophomore Brooke Morgan had 25 kills in the first two rounds to bring her season total to 299. Sophomore Lizzy Blough has been a bit quiet in the first two rounds at state, but had 262 kills coming into the tournament. Sopho-more setter Rachel Koop has 1,109 assists on the season.

Weber is the team’s dig leader with 278. Blough has 68 ace serves. “They are tough,” said veer-

beek, who spent Western Christian’s lone weekend dur-ing the season when it was not playing in a tournament scout-

ing Dike-New Hartford. “It can’t be a B-plus game for us. We are going to have to be at our best. We are going to have to be clean

and play efficient volleyball.” Western Christian has not been too shabby this year either. It takes a 43-3 record

into the match. The three losses are to a pair of nationally-ranked teams from Nebraska — Papillion-Lavista South and Omaha Marion. Western Chris-tian actually had a match point try against Papillion-Lavista South when it was ranked first in the nation, but let that slip away. The Wolfpack lost to the same team in two sets later in the season. Western Christian has defeated some quality Iowa opponents, including teams that were ranked first in Class 5A, first in Class 4A and first in Class 1A. The Wolfpack did not get to face the top-ranked team in Class 3A, but has beaten state finalist MOC-Floyd valley twice. The Wolfpack topped sev-enth-ranked Treynor and third-ranked Carroll Kuemper in the first two rounds of the state tournament. Senior Brooke Wolterstorff leads the way with 341 kills. She has 25 in the first two rounds of the state tourna-ment. Junior Jade Schaap has 15 kills in the first two rounds at state and a total of 269 for the season. Junior Haley Moss has 262 kills, including 19 thus far at state. Gesink has 1,032 assists, including 66 in the state tournament. Junior Alissa Pol-lema has 19 digs in the first two rounds and 381 for the year. Wolterstorff had some simple keys to today’s match. “We’re going to go out there and work together and play our hardest,” Wolterstorff said. “Then we’ll just leave it up to God.”

“It’s been in the back of our mind that they got us.We’ve got our chance now. We need to be a team and play as one unit.”

CEDAR RAPIDS—MOC-Floyd valley was sputtering at the start, so junior Alexis Conaway took matters in her own hands, turning in one of the best matches in state tournament history in a four-set win over Mount vernon on Friday. Conaway connected for 32 kills in the Class 3A state volleyball semifinal 22-25, 25-18, 27-25, 25-15 match vic-tory in the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena. New records are being kept this year since the state moved to a five-class system, so it will go down as a state record. In the four-class system, the record for most kills in a match was 33 in Class 4A, 46 in Class 3A, 30 in Class 2A and 36 in Class 1A. “Conaway has such great arm speed and great placement,” said Mount ver-non coach Maggie Willems. “It’s just hard to defend.” Largely as a result of Conaway’s big night, sophomore setter Alyssa Brown almost reached the previous all-class record for assists in a single match with 58. The record is 64. The outlook did not look as good for MOC-Floyd valley in the first set. The Dutch, ranked third, pulled out to a 3-1 lead, but 10th-ranked Mount vernon took the advantage at 5-4 and never trailed again in the set. The Mus-tangs’ largest lead was 21-16. MOC-Floyd valley had it down to 24-22 before Mount vernon got the sideout and the win. “I kept telling the girls, as long as we keep getting quality swings, we’re going to win,” said MOC-Floyd valley coach Jon Mouw. “Our ball control was pretty shaky in the first set. We’ve kind of been that kind of team all year though. When the chips are down, we find a way to turn it on.” In that way, the Dutch team seems to take on the personality of Conaway. “Alexis just seems to have a way where she knows when she needs to rise to the occasion,” Mouw said. “So does the whole team. If it wasn’t for everybody digging down and playing defense the way they did, we would

have never gotten to that point.” The defense was needed against a stubborn Mount vernon team that would not let MOC-Floyd valley have a significant scoring run. The Dutch were just as determined. There was only one run of more than two points in a row in the first set, and it belonged to the Mustangs. MOC-Floyd valley built up a lead little by little in the second set before it finally got a significant run. A Con-away kill, a net call on Mount vernon and a kill by junior Shelby Schouten made it 23-16. The Mustangs scored twice, then Schouten got a kill for a sideout and junior Emily McDon-ald’s block ended the set and tied the match. “Mount vernon is such a good team. They have such great ball control, you are just not going to get long runs on them,” Mouw said. The Mustangs held the upper hand for much of the third set. They got ahead 8-4 early. MOC-Floyd valley cut it to one a couple of times, but a four-point run by Mount vernon made it 17-12. McDonald and Conaway then

got the Dutch back on the right track. McDonald had a block and a kill at the end of a three-point run that trimmed it to 20-17. McDonald then had another block and a kill, followed by a Conaway block, a Mustang error and a Conaway kill as MOC-Floyd valley took a 22-21 lead. Conaway had two kills to make it 24-22, but Mount ver-non junior Hannah Whitley had a pair of kills to tie it again. The score was tied again at 25-25 before Conaway had a kill and an ace serve to give the Dutch the set win. “The thing that they were able to do was keep the ball away from our libero, Marissa Stark. That was a great

move for them,” Willems said. “That third set was the big one. We really needed to win that one to gain some momentum.” Conaway said even when MOC-Floyd valley was trailing, the Dutch kept the faith. “We rely on each other. Everyone is going to have their up and down moments. Our setter does a really good job of spreading it around and determining who needs the ball,” she said. “I was really determined today. I played OK yesterday, but I knew I could do better. We had some girls who were down, and it was my job today to pick them up. We do it for

each other.” Being down was not an issue in the fourth set. MOC-Floyd valley led 6-2 early. A Conaway kill, a block by junior Ali Achterhof and another Conaway kill made it 14-6. Soon after that, kills by Conaway and Achterhof, a hitting error by the Mustangs and an ace serve by Conaway made it 19-8. The Dutch continued to pour it on from there before a four-point run by Mount ver-non after MOC-Floyd valley already had reached match point made the last set appear closer than it was. Conaway had a .473 kill efficiency in the match. The Dutch had a .312 kill efficiency as a team. Schouten had 13 kills and McDonald added 11. Con-away was 17-for-19 serving with two aces. McDonald had two solo blocks and five assisted blocks. Conaway had one solo block and five assisted blocks. Achterhof had one solo block and four assisted blocks. Conaway led the team with 21 digs. Schouten made 18 digs and Landhuis 10. Sophomore Alli Platte paced the Mustangs with nine kills. Sophomore Morgan Melchert issued 29 assists. Sophomore Kate Lynott was 17-for-18 serving with two aces. Sophomore Emma Cochrane had three assisted blocks. Stark came up with 13 digs, senior Amanda Petrick had 12 and senior Chelsey Schrim had 11. MOC-Floyd valley improved to 32-8 and will face seventh-ranked Union of La Porte City (35-7) in the champion-ship match at 2 p.m. today (Saturday, Nov. 10). Mount vernon finished its season at 28-10.

DUTCHContinued from page C1at the Sioux City North Invitational and three at the always difficult Sioux County Tournament. “We did start a little slow. We had some girls that had seen time as soph-omores, but there was still a maturing process we had to go through,” said MOC-Floyd valley coach Jon Mouw. The Dutch have only one senior on the roster, and none in the regular rotation. “I felt like we just needed to work on our offense and just find ways to maxi-mize what we do within that offense. I think we’ve gotten to the point that at any time, anyone I have in the front row is capable of getting a kill,” Mouw said. “But our strength has always been our hitting and what we really try to work on is our defense and ball control.” Junior Alexis Conaway, who leads Class 3A in kills with 438 kills, agreed. “We’ve always been strong on of -fense. Defense is what we’ve worked on, and we’ve come a long way with that,” she said. The Dutch had to beat fifth-ranked Unity Christian just to get to the regional finals. Once MOC-Floyd val-ley arrived in Cedar Rapids, it beat ninth-ranked Red Oak and 10th-ranked Mount vernon. “Naturally, the girls are pretty happy about this. It’s what they wanted,” Mouw said. “But they aren’t satisfied quite yet.” “It’s always been our goal,” Conaway said. “We knew there were a lot of games and hard practices we’d have to get through, but now we are here. We trust each other out there and we’ll fight for every point.” Conaway has been a particular hand-ful for state tournament foes, blasting 47 kills in two matches. Junior Emily McDonald has 24 kills at state and 236 on the year. Junior Shelby Schouten has 21 kills in the state tournament and 187 for the year. Sophomore Alyssa Brown has 940 assists, including 99 in the state tournament. Conaway has 229 digs, including 36 at state. Mouw has enjoyed the ride so far. “This is just such a hard-working group. Most of them play multiple sports. This summer they worked their

tails off,” he said. “Most of them are straight A students, too.” The Union club MOC-Floyd valley plays today has been this year’s ver-sion of Cinderella. The seventh-ranked Knights, who are 35-7, scored the last two points to break a 13-13 tie in

the fifth set of a first round win over fourth-ranked Sioux Center. Union then handled the top-ranked team in Class 3A, giving Mediapolis its first loss with a three-set sweep. Senior hitters Sam Barz and Peyton Hilton have carried the load for the

Knights all year and that has been true at state as well. Barz has 30 kills in the two matches and a total of 411 for the year. Hilton has 29 at state and 357 for the season. Junior setter Lauren Barz has 1,135 assists on the year and 84 at state. Sam Barz has 73 ace serves on the

year, including nine at the state tourna-ment. Junior libero Breann Bader has 40 digs at state and 493 on the season. The 35 wins this year is a Union record. The Knights are playing in the state tournament for the third straight season. Union was a semifinalist.

WARRIORSContinued from page C1other girls respond to her.” It also fundamentally changed the Sioux Center attack, forcing the War-riors to go almost exclusively to the outside. “It does limit your choices, and it makes it easier for them because they knew we weren’t going to set her much,” said Sioux Center senior setter Malyn Hulstein Buyert did her best to provide a strong block, but the Warriors chose not to try her as a hitter or use her at the service line. “It was huge. She’s our third kill leader, she runs the middle and blocks well, and she usually serves for us,” Oldenkamp said. “It makes a differ-ence when the other team knows you only really have one attack option. That she played at all says a lot about her passion for this team and the way she works at the game.” Another major factor working against Sioux Center was that with the arena split in half so two matches could take place at once, there was not enough room available for the jump servers on the team to use their nor-mal motions. “It definitely made a huge difference. Amber (Bakker) normally has such a big approach and big swing. And Jen wasn’t back there, so we didn’t have her serve as a weapon,” Oldenkamp said. The Warriors appeared like they would be OK early on, taking an 11-9 lead in the opening set. Sioux Center then hit a major lull, scoring just three more points for the rest of the set. It seemed like that was maybe just jitters after Sioux Center finished the second set with a flourish. The War-riors were up 17-16 before scoring six straight points. Union got one sideout, but then a hard kill by sophomore Jill vander Plaats and consecutive tips by Bakker and Hulstein tied the match at one set apiece. “In the two games we won we played with great energy,” Hulstein said. “We blocked well and passed well. It was just the basics.” The lull that Sioux Center experi-enced in the first set was nothing com-pared to the third set. The Warriors never were able to reach double digits. “We got on them pretty good in the third set, but we knew they were a good team and they were going to battle us,” said Union coach Brian Jesse. “It wasn’t that we let down in the fourth. They just played well.”

The Knights had the advantage for much of the fourth set. Kills by Bakker and vander Plaats gave the Warriors a 17-16 lead. Two kills by Bakker and an ace serve by junior Caitlynn Fed-ders made it 19-16. The margin grew to 21-17 on two kills by senior Jillian

Estes. Union then came back to even it up at 21-21. However, Sioux Center never let the Knights regain the lead, and eventually a net call on Union gave the Warriors the set win. “We battled hard just to get to the fifth game. We played some great

defense and really started getting after it,” Oldenkamp said. “After our defense stepped up, we started serv-ing more aggressive.” The fifth set was back and forth at the start. It was tied 7-7 when Union finally got consecutive points, with one of those being a lucky play as the Knights overpassed on a Sioux Center serve but the ball snaked over the net and fell on the Warriors’ side. “I told them to keep being aggressive — to keep swinging. We didn’t want to let any tips fall and we didn’t want to take any ourselves,” Jesse said. Sioux Center tied the score at 11-11 on kills by vander Plaats and Bakker. It was tied again at 12-12 on a soft kill down the line by Estes. Senior Sam Barz then gave Union the lead with a kill and senior Payton Hil-ton followed that with a block that set up match point. A service error kept Sioux Center in it briefly, but a Barz kill ended it. “It was a heck of a match. I thought our experience came through for us. We have been in so many five-set matches this year,” Jesse said. “We didn’t let our mistakes get us down.” “We wanted to come out and just play our own game. They just played better than us,” Hulstein said.

Barz had 17 kills and Hilton 13 for Union. Sophomore Gina Harrill handed out 45 assists. Barz had five ace serves and Junior Breann Bader was 18-for-20 with four aces. Bader had 19 digs, Hilton 18, Bader 12 and junior Raini Hilmer 11. Harrill and sophomore Maria Wrage each got in on five blocks. Sioux Center, which finished the year at 31-7 overall, got 12 kills from Estes and 11 each from Bakker and vander Plaats. Hulstein was credited with 30 assists.

COLLEGEBUZZER SHOT WON’T DROP SIOUX CENTER—The Dordt College women’s basketball team was one unkind bounce away from a major upset Nov. 6 as a three-pointer at the horn did not fall, allowing Grand View University to escape with a 64-62 nonconference win. The Vikings, ranked eighth in NAIA Division II, found that it would be a battle rather quickly. Dordt led by five on a few occasions in the first half and still had a 29-28 lead at the break. The Vikings led 47-41 with 12:44 left, but the Defenders went on a 10-0 run. Dordt was up by as many as five again before the score was knotted several times down the stretch. Grand View took a lead that it would not give up at 60-58 with 2:45 left. Danelle Boone drained a deep three-pointer for the Defenders with four seconds left to cut it to one. The Vikings missed the second of two free throws, and Dordt quickly got it up the floor to Boone, who got a good look at a three that did not fall. Brianna Spronk had 16 points for the Defenders, who fell to 0-3 on the season. Kara Van Dyke had 15 points and 12 rebounds. Jas-min Schelhaas tallied 10 points.

MIDLAND STOPS RAIDERS FREMONT, NE—The Northwestern College volleyball team was unable to get any momentum going on Nov. 6, falling to 25th-ranked Midland University 25-20, 25-19, 25-21 in the first round of the Great Plains Athletic Conference Volleyball Tournament. The host Warriors had a .292 kill efficiency in the match. Northwest-ern, the tournament’s fifth seed, had a .206 efficiency. The Red Raiders were led by Kaitlin Floerchinger, who had 10 kills, 14 assists and seven digs in the match. Karlie Schut had nine kills. Madeline Hanno passed around 14 assists. Emily Horstman had two blocks. Alexis Bart came had 15 digs. The Red Raiders, who were 13-3 at one point, finished the season with a 21-10 record.

DORDT WINS FIRST TITLE MCCOOK LAKE, SD—The Dordt College women’s cross country team claimed its first Great Plains Athletic Conference championship with a dominating performance at the league meet Nov. 3 at McCook Lake, SD. Dordt runners filled the 3-8 spots in the individual standings as the team finished with 25 points, well ahead of Concordia University and Nebraska Wesleyan University, which both finished at 91. Dordt’s top five runners were separated by just 20 seconds as the team earned a berth in the NAIA National Meet, which will be held Nov. 17 in Vancouver, WA. Lauren Opp ran the 5,000-meter course in 18 minutes to take third for Dordt. She was followed closely

by teammates Merissa Harkema, Kayla Byl, Abby De Vries, Renee Buikema and Katie Bonnema. The Northwestern College women finished seventh in the team stand-ings. Dawn Gildersleeve led the Red Raiders with a 15th-place finish. Concordia won the men’s race. Dordt placed fifth, and Northwestern was seventh. Ryan Tholen led the Defenders, placing fifth by crossing the finish on the 8.000-meter course in 25:19, which was just 11 seconds behind the race winner. Nathan Jackson finished eighth. Both men qualified for the national meet with their performances. Skyler Giddings led the Red Raiders with a 17th-place finish and Logan Hoveland was 24th.

DEFENDERS LOCK DOWN SIOUX CENTER—Dordt College held Grace University to 26 percent shooting from the floor and allowed just 15 second-half points in a 90-43 nonconference men’s basketball romp Nov. 6. The Defenders, ranked third in NAIA Division II, shot 50 percent from the floor. Dordt led 44-28 by halftime. Cliff Warner had 24 points to lead the scoring for the hosts. Jordan Vogel scored 12 points. Elliott Christians and Nathan Rindels both netted 10 points. Christians and Shawn Keizer both had six rebounds. Trevor Wolterstorff had four assists. Dordt improved to 4-0 on the season with the win.

DORDT SLOWED DOWN L INCOLN, NE—Dordt Col lege volleyball team fell to Nebraska Wesleyan University 25-23, 14-25, 28-26, 25-21 on the final night of the regular season Nov. 3. Dordt had just tied the match at one set apiece and led 19-14 in the third before letting it slip away. The Prairie Wolves used that emo-tional boost to take the fourth set. Kayla Gesink led Dordt with 34 assists. Katelyn Schuller had 14 kills, Lindsey Floen 13 and Dan-ae Geels 12. Kayla Broekhuis had 21 digs. Gesink was 17-for-17 serving with two aces.

Dutch rally afterdropping first set

b y S c ot t b y e r SS p o rt S e d i t o r

red oak 19 25 12 9MoC-Floyd Valley 25 23 25 25

CEDAR RAPIDS—Junior Katie Landhuis served for 14 straight points in the third set as what was a close match turned into a show of force for third-ranked MOC-Floyd valley. The run was a turning point as the third-ranked Dutch dusted ninth-ranked Red Oak 25-19, 23-25, 25-12, 25-9 in the opening round of the Class 3A state volleyball tournament Thursday at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena. MOC-Floyd valley and Red Oak were two of the youngest teams in the tournament. The Tigers are a frequent visitor to state, having played in the tournament 11 times in the last 18 years. However, Red Oak had just three seniors on the roster and two in the regular lineup. MOC-Floyd valley has just one senior on the roster and none in the starting lineup. The Dutch were making their first trip to state since before the school consolidated in 1994, with Maurice-Orange City qualifying in 1988 and Floyd valley in 1973 and ’75. The youthful nerves were evident on both sides in a less-than-stellar start. The score was knotted at seven before junior Shelby Schouten had two kills and a block in a six-point run that put the Dutch ahead 13-7. MOC-Floyd valley got up to 16-9 on kills by Landhuis and junior Alexis Conaway. Red Oak trailed by eight points before eventually whittling it down to 22-18, but the Tigers would get just one more point before Dutch closed out the set. “We were definitely a little tight, but so were they,” said MOC-Floyd valley coach Jon Mouw. “We were able to get a few kills here and there and that was enough.” The first-set win did not do much to settle down the Dutch as they quickly found themselves behind 12-8 in the second set. “We did play much more aggressive in that set. We start-

ed to look for opportunities and find holes in the court,” said Red Oak coach Angie Mont-gomery. “We had some really good digs that helped us, too.” Mouw used a timeout to try to make the adjustment. A lot of the talk was about being more aggressive when MOC-Floyd valley had the serve. “They like to run a lot of up-

tempo stuff. That shoot and set they ran is really fast,” Mouw said. “If we let them stay in system, we were going to have a hard time stopping that. And in game two we also had a lot of hitting errors. We had a lot of balls that landed just long or just wide.” Red Oak stayed in front until a kill by junior Emily McDonald

tied it at 21-21. The Tigers scored the next two points, and eventually put the set away on a kill by sophomore Katie Walker. Red Oak again had the upper hand in the early portions of the third set, going in front 11-8. MOC-Floyd valley then got a sideout, and Landhuis stepped into the service box. By the time she left it, the Dutch were ahead 23-11. “When Katie got that run it

really got our confidence up. She just serves a nice little floater, and in a big, open arena like that the ball can do a lot of tricky things,” Mouw said. T h e Ti g e r s h a d t ro u b l e straightening out their passes against Landhuis at first. When they did start to pass the ball toward the net, it was too hard and wound up on the MOC-Floyd valley side. When that happened, the Dutch put it to the floor with some major

velocity. Mouw said those plays were big for the momentum. “It’s fun, especially when you get to watch Alexis do that,” he said. The major run had a carryover effect on Red Oak for the rest of the match. “We stuck to the game plan for most of it, but then in that third set we let them get into their momentum game,” Montgomery said. “We let some things get away from us at an inopportune time.” While some of that game plan had to do with being aware of Conaway, who leads Class 3A in kills, Montgomery said facing the Dutch was not that simple. “It’s not only her. They are a solid team that obviously have a bright future. The speed of their arm swings is pretty amazing. It’s really hard to adjust to,” Montgomery said. MOC-Floyd valley kept it going in the fourth set, quickly turning a 5-3 deficit into a 20-7 lead. “Once we found our confi-dence, we played really well,” Mouw said. “We knew there would be some nerves, and we knew that they were going to keep fighting. But once we started playing with some con-fidence, I knew we’d be fine.” Landhuis finished the match 25-for-27 serving with six aces. Junior Erica Johnson was 19-for-19 with two service aces. Schouten went 17-for-17 with two ace serves. Conaway pounded 15 kills and McDon-ald mashed 13. Sophomore Alyssa Brown issued 41 assists. Junior Ali Achterhof had six assisted blocks and Conaway had five. Schouten made 16 digs, Conaway 15 and Johnson 11. Freshman Angela Mahoney led Red Oak with seven kills. Junior Makelti White had 10 assists and senior Maddie Hol-mgren had nine. Walker was 11-for-11 serving with two aces. Senior Josie Snyder had 13 digs and Walker had 10. Sophomore Grace Blomstedt got in on two blocks. MOC-Floyd valley took a 31-8 record into a semifinal match with 10th-ranked Mount vernon, which upset second-ranked Davenport Assumption 25-22, 20-25, 25-22, 25-17 in the opening round. Red Oak ended its year with a 27-7 record.

treynor 15 13 8Western Christian 25 25 25

C E D A R R A P I D S — C l a s s 2A seventh-ranked Treynor looked just as powerless to stop Western Christian as most of the second-ranked Wolfpack’s regular-season opponents Thursday in the first round of the state volleyball tournament in Cedar Rapids. While some of the pretour-nament talk had Western Christian’s potential matchup with top-ranked and defend-ing state champion Dike-New Hartford as a foregone conclu-sion, the Wolfpack tried not to look at it that way. “We’ve seen a little of Dike, but we have to focus on our next game first,” said Western Christian junior Haley Moss. “But it is kind of fun to look at what they’ve got and see how we match up.” Western Christian coach Tammi veerbeek said while the team is in the state tournament for the 12th straight year and a state record 30th time overall, there are enough new players in the lineup to cause concern about a first-round match. “We talked before the match about praying for calm nerves. We wanted relaxed bodies and steady feet,” veerbeek said. “We’ve got a lot of new kids playing under these lights, and this is the biggest stage in high school sports.” Senior Brooke Wolterstorff said it was just a matter of the Wolfpack taking care of busi-ness on their own side of the net.

“We knew if we played good volleyball, we could handle them,” Wolterstorff said. “We just did our thing and tried to have fun.” Moss said Western Christian was pumped up for the start of the state tournament. “We wanted to play with a lot of emotion and make sure we gave it everything we’ve got,” Moss said. Western Christian had a .364 kill efficiency as a team in the match, a 25-15, 25-13, 25-8. Five players had at least six kills. “We talk all the time about having faith in your team-mates,” veerbeek said. “I looked up at one point and it was like seven kills, six kills, seven kills, six kills. That’s why we are good. We’re so balanced, and we make sure we distribute the ball to all of our hitters.”

Moss led the Wolfpack with 12 kills. “It’s all about team. It starts with the pass and the set. We just finish the plays,” Moss said. “It’s a lot of fun.” Wolterstorff had 10 kills, but was not the least bit concerned about any individual numbers. “We work together. Everyone on our team is good,” she said. “That’s why we are good.” Western Christian was never seriously threatened in any of the three sets. “We work every day on our sideout efficiency. We talk about getting first ball kills off the serve. We take pride on not letting other teams get on runs,” veerbeek said. “Another strength that showed up was serving. We kind of served them off the court. When they are scrambling like that, of course

we’re going to look good.” The Wolfpack served at 96 percent with 12 aces. Treynor coach Janet Fiene certainly was impressed, saying there was no question Western Christian was the best team the Cardinals faced all year. “They have such great size. They have depth. And they just don’t let any balls drop on their side easily,” she said. The Cardinals came into the

match thinking that they had a chance if they could get their own offense rolling, but it never happened. “We never got into any kind of passing rhythm, and then when that happens you can’t get good swings,” Fiene said. “We knew we had to go pin to pin, and we had to keep Chaley (Rath) mov-ing, but you can’t do that when you aren’t getting the ball to the setters.”

Rath, a senior and the Cardi-nals’ leading hitter, managed just three kills in the match. Wolterstorff issued a warning of sorts to any foes that might try to stand between Western Christian and its 14th state title. “We can play a little better. That first game you always have some jitters,” Wolterstorff said. “I think we have another level to us.” Sophomore Jamie Gesink sent up 35 assists for Western Christian. Junior Summer Jan-sen was 15-for-15 serving with five aces. Junior Alissa Pollema was 17-for-17 with four aces. Moss had three solo blocks and Senior Shae De Jager had two. Pollema and Wolterstorff each made eight digs. Rath and junior Gracie Myers each went 7-for-7 serving with two aces for the Cardinals. Junior Tracy Purdy had eight assists. Senior Emma Fiene had five kills. Senior Lexis Rogers had 13 digs. Western Christian improved to 42-3 heading into a semifinal match against third-ranked Carroll Kuemper, which beat previously unbeaten and sixth-ranked Lake Mills in four sets. Treynor ended its year with a 31-7 record.

But finish regular-season slateby hosting rival Defenders today

b y S c ot t b y e r SS p o rt S e d i t o r

ORANGE CITY—Northwestern College has extra motivation that has little to do with the Tractor Trophy that goes to the winner of the gridiron rivalry game between the Red Raiders and Dordt College. Northwestern moved up three spots in the NAIA national football poll this week to occupy the 14th spot. That makes the Red Raiders, who are 8-2 over-all and 6-2 in the Great Plains Athletic Conference, a borderline playoff squad. Northwestern likely still will need to find a way to move up another spot or two in order to get in. A convincing win over Dordt (1-9 overall and 0-8 in the GPAC) at 1 p.m. today (Saturday, Nov. 10) at De valois Stadium in Orange City would seem necessary in order to accomplish that. Winning convincingly would be continuing a trend for the Red Raiders, who popped Hastings College 45-6 on the road last week. The Broncos were ranked 25th nationally going into that game. Northwestern did it with a balanced offense that totaled 525 yards — 233 rushing and 292 passing. Brandon Smith had 21 carries for 122 yards and two touchdowns. Theo Bartman ran 16 times for 120 yards and one TD. It marked the sixth time this season and eighth time overall that both had eclipsed the cen-tury mark in the same game. Both runners are over the 1,000-yard mark for the season, only the second time in program history that has happened. Davis Bloemendaal completed 19-of-27 pass attempts for 292 yards and three TDs. Eli Groenendyk caught five passes for 92 yards and a TD. Bryce Byker had four grabs, including one for a TD. Tyler Walker caught the other scoring strike. Defensively, North-western gave up just 236 yards, forced three turnovers and registered three sacks. Dillon Green had 6.5 tack-les. Jake Zylstra had five stops. Stanley Fleming had one sack and forced a fumble. For the season, Northwestern is averaging 36 points per game and giving up 15 points per contest. The Red Raiders gain 268 yards per game on the ground and allow 92.5 per contest. Northwestern averages 209 yards passing per game, and opponents have thrown for an average of 155 yards per contest. Smith has 1,230 rushing yards and Bartman has 1,014. Smith averages 6.8 yards per carry, and Barman

averages 7.2 yards. Bloemendaal has thrown for 1,807 yards, with 16 TDs and only four interceptions. Bart-man is the leading receiver with 39 catches and aver-ages 13.2 yards per catch. Nate Fischer heads up the defense with 41 solo tack-les, 27 assisted stops and 3.5 sacks. Isaiah Twitty has 29 solo tackles, 30 assists and four sacks. Jordan Carlson has registered nine sacks. Ethan Lensch has made three interceptions. The Defenders had a glimmer of hope early last week, but that got erased in the second half of a 55-6 home loss to Doane College. The Defenders scored first when Trai Pickney ran it in from 14 yards out with 8:30 left in the first quarter. The PAT failed, but Dordt was up 6-0. The Defenders still led 6-3 after a quarter and were down 17-6 at halftime, but the Tigers scored 14 points in the third and poured on 24 more in the fourth. Dordt was outgained 534-194 in the contest. Pickney had a solid game with 12 rushes for 76 yards and one TD on the ground and two catches for 34 yards.

Sam Ashmore had five solo tackles and five assists for Dordt. vanoy Harris had six solo tackles and two assists. Raymond Cleveland had six solo stops. Jon Luetchens had an interception. For the season, the Defenders have given up 35 points per game and have scored 13 points per con-test. Dordt’s ground game is solid, averaging 202 yards per game. However, the Defenders are on their third quarterback of the season and have averaged just 90 yards per game in the air. Pickney has run for 560 yards and averages 7.5 yards per tote.
