Over the past month, a panel of educators from ineli-gible counties reviewed all of the grant applications. The strongest submissions were selected as finalists and will be sent to the America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education Advisory Council for final review. Com-posed of farmer-leaders from across the U.S. with a vested interest in both agriculture and education, the Advisory Council will select the winning school districts. This local school district is in the running for a grant of up to $25,000: ·Keota Community School District

The winning grant recipi-ents will be announced in early August. Last year, Grow Rural Educa-tion invested $165,000 in pub-lic school districts across Iowa to improve math and science curriculum. Since 2012, Iowa school districts have received $330,000 through the pro-gram. Grow Rural Education grants have allowed rural schools to invest in the enhancement of student learning in math and science. Past grant recipients used funding for projects such as technology and scientific lab equipment upgrades, green-houses and outdoor classroom learning environments, teacher and curriculum development and other math and science related initiatives.

Summer of Driver’s EdBy Elise Swanstrom

This summer I had the op-portunity to take Driver’s Ed with Mr. Williams. It suits that the man with awesome cars teaches how to be a good driv-er. Anyhow, I am thankful I got to take this. I’ve learned I.P.D.E. - Identify, Predict, Decide, Execute. This has made me have a new respect for driving. My classmates and I are leaving this class knowing how to use responsibility and teamwork. We also appreciate Gretter Autoland for supporting our class with a car to use.

Washington County 4-H’ers Selected for State 4-H Project Awards

Dr. Daryl Smith, the producer of America’s Lost Landscape: The Tallgrass Prairie, will be at the English Valleys History Center in North English on Sunday July, 27, at 2:00 p.m. as he shows his award-winning film and discusses it afterwards. Shown on PBS in 2007, this fine movie tells the rich and complex story of one of the most astonish-ing alterations of nature in human history. Prior to Euro-American settlement in the 1820s, one of the major landscape features of North America was 240 million acres of tallgrass prairie. But between 1830 and 1900 – in the span of a single lifetime – the prairie was steadi-ly transformed to farmland. This drastic change in the landscape brought about an enormous social change for Native Americans. The extraordinary cinematography of prairie remnants, original score, and archival images are all inter-woven to create a powerful and

moving viewing experience about the natural and cultural history of America. Professor Smith has taught high school and college biology for 50 years, served as head of the UNI Department of Biology, president of the Iowa Academy of Science, board member of the Iowa Chapter of The Nature Conservancy and National Association of Biology Teachers, director of the 12th and 22nd North American Prairie Conferences, and director of Iowa Prairie Conferences from 1991-01. A native Iowan, Smith has been involved in prairie preservation, management, and restoration for more than 40 years. He founded the Tallgrass Prairie Center at UNI in 1999 and served as director until October 2013. The EV History Center is located at 108 N. Main Street in North English, and all are invited to attend this event at no charge. Donations are accepted.

Savages’ Bats Explode in Final Week

By Adam Meier,Regional Sports Editor

By outscoring its oppo-nents by a combined 41-1, the Sigourney softball team couldn’t have finished the reg-ular season any better. The Savages finished up at 17-2 in the South Iowa Cedar League, which landed them in second place behind Lynnville-Sully.

The team began its week with an 11-0 win over Belle

Plaine. The Savages went off for 16 hits, including four doubles and two triples, in the win. Jordan Carter and Emily Danowsky each had per-fect four-for-four days, while Carter allowed three hits in five innings to pick up the win. Becca Ohland, Brooke Waechter and Karah Appleget each added two hits apiece, and both Sydney and Sierra Davis had one.

Next up was a home date with Tri-County that marked the last regular-season home game for Sigourney’s six seniors. Much like the Belle Plaine game the night before, this one was over quickly. The

BGM’s baseball team is ranked 8th in Class 1A and hasn’t lost in the SICL; Tri-County saw why last Tuesday.

The Bears knocked out Tri-County starter Jake Brumbaugh in just two innings and took down the Trojans, 18-3.

BGM scored two in the top of the first and then went on a 12-run rampage in the sec-ond inning. Brumbaugh allowed 14 runs on seven hits in two innings, but only two of those 14 runs were earned, meaning 12 of BGM’s 14 runs off Brumbaugh came via errors or walks.

TC’s offense plated two runs in the second and one in the third, but BGM’s lead was far too great. The Trojans recorded six hits off BGM senior Zac Freese, including a double by Tyler Lally. The Bears had four doubles in the game and also got homer-uns from Jack Kline and Kyle Gritsch.

The Trojans got right back into the win column the very next night with a bizarre 16-4 win at Sigourney. Tri-County’s offense only tallied five hits in the entire game, yet somehow scored 16 runs. How? The answer is that the Trojans drew 14 walks off of Sigourney pitchers.

TC scored seven first-inning runs and added six in the third and three in the fourth. Jacob Weber and Trenton Steinke each walked three times, while Austin Blythe led the team in hits with two. Nick Watts and Blythe each scored three runs to help give the Trojans their ninth win of the year. Lally picked up the win on the mound by tossing five innings of six-hit ball.

The team wraps up its regu-lar season at home against Iowa Valley on Friday, before playing Montezuma in New Sharon at 5pm on Tuesday, July 15.

Savages rattled off eight runs in the second inning and ended the game in four by scoring one in the third and three in the fourth.

Sigourney had just six hits in the 12-0 win over TC, but ten stolen bases and six walks gave the offense what it need-ed.

Ohland led the charge on offense with a double and three RBIs. Danowsky also had a nice game, going one-for-one with a walk, three steals and three runs scored. Appleget pitched in with a two-run dou-ble and scored once. Jordan Carter earned the win by allow-ing three hits and striking out

Becca OhlandKarah Appleget seven in four innings of work.The Savages wrapped up

their regular season with an 18-1 win at Montezuma that included 13 runs in the sev-enth inning and homeruns by Madi Denny and Karah Appleget. In addition to huge games from Denny (four-for-five) and Appleget (three-for-five), Sigourney got two dou-bles, a triple and four runs from Jordan Carter. Ohland, Waechter and Brooke Schroeder each pitched in two hits in the 18-1 win.

The Savages now wait to play the winner of Belle Plaine and English Valleys on Wednesday, July 9, at 7pm in Sigourney, in regional play.

Pekin’s softball team and its big group of first-year start-ers have faced challenge after challenge this summer. Despite so many new faces, though, the Panthers have put together an excellent season and the atti-tude brought in by first-year head coach Allison Glick is a big reason for that.

“When I first got here I made sure I let the girls know I have a ton of confidence in them,” said Glick. “I knew this team had a lot of ability even though a lot of the girls didn’t have varsity experience. I saw what the girls did in track & field and I knew we’d have the speed to make things happen offensively. I’m really pleased with the girls; they’ve put in a lot of work.

Glick’s Panthers went a perfect 3-0 last week in their final stretch of the regular sea-son, starting with an 8-1 win over Mediapolis. Pekin found itself trailing 1-0 early on, but responded over the next four innings in a big way. Two runs in both the second and third innings, followed by three in the fourth and one more in the fifth put Pekin in total control.

By Adam Meier,Regional Sports Editor

June 16th was the last time Pekin’s baseball team lost a game. Two more wins last week in SEISC North play pushed the Panthers’ impres-sive winning streak to nine games before Monday’s dou-ble-header showdown with conference-leading Louisa-Muscatine.

A four-hit shutout by super sophomore Keaton Winn fueled the Panthers to a 6-0 win over Mediapolis last Tuesday. The Panthers quickly got Winn two runs of support in the first inning and added another run in the second. Pekin then added two insur-ance runs in the fourth and one more for good measure in the fifth; not that Winn need-ed it. Winn struck out eight Mediapolis batters and walked just one to improve his record to 5-1. Opposing hitters have recorded 15 hits in 172 at bats against win, which translates to a .087 batting average.

Kolby Allsup (.412), who is one of four Panthers hit-ting over .400, led the offen-sive effort against Mediapolis by going two-for-four with a double. Jaydan Nicholson also added a two-for-four effort in the 6-0 win. Cade Millikin (.424) and Winn (.438), who are also batting over .400, each doubled and combined to

lowed by Streigle’s third hit of the game loaded the bases for Crawford, who grounded out but drove in two runs on a fielding blunder by Montezuma. Colby Kerkove followed with an RBI single to left that gave the Savages a 9-7 lead. Sigourney tacked on another run in the fifth and one in the sixth to gain a 11-7 lead that it wouldn’t let go of.

Streigle, Moore, Swearingen and Kerkove each had three hits on the night, and the Savages had 17 as a team. Van Ee picked up the win by allowing six hits and seven runs (five earned) in five innings of work. Kerkove sealed the deal with two solid innings to get the save.

The Savages suffered a tough loss the night prior to their big win at Montezuma, falling to Tri-County, 16-4. Swearingen led the way for Sigourney with a single, a double and a walk, while Kerkove also doubled. Streigle took the loss on the mound.

Last Monday the Savages hosted rival Keota and picked up a 12-2 win. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the third when Sigourney took a 1-0 lead on a Keota error. Then the fireworks came. Two batters later Bryce Brown stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and unleashed a grand slam, and his first career homer, to left, giving his team a 6-0 lead. The fireworks didn’t stop there. In the bottom of the sixth Colby Kerkove went deep, clearing the centerfield fence and driving in three. The Savages added another run in the sixth and

A number of factors have been contributing to the recent run of great baseball being played by the Sigourney Savages: their bats are feasting on opposing pitchers, averag-ing almost ten runs per game in their last four wins; Cole Streigle is back and hitting almost .400; and their defense is much improved. All of those things have helped the Savages win games lately that they would’ve lost early in the sea-son, including last Wednesday’s 11-7 win at Montezuma.

Sigourney got out fast against the Braves, scor-ing two runs in the first on a Streigle double that scored Shane Swearingen and on a Bryce Brown single that scored Streigle. The Braves matched Sigourney’s two-run first by scoring twice off starter Jake Van Ee in the bottom half, but the Savages regained the lead on an RBI single by Avery Moore that scored Gage Greiner. The good hitting Montezuma team stormed back, though, and pro-ceeded to take a 5-3 lead into the fourth; but the Savages didn’t wilt. Sigourney displayed its improved mental toughness and responded in a big way to score three runs on RBI singles by Streigle, Peyton Crawford and Brown.

Van Ee and the Sigourney defense weren’t able to hold onto their lead for long, as the Braves scored twice in the fourth to take a 7-6 lead. Like clockwork, though, Sigourney’s bats answered. Two walks fol-

wound up winning by a count of 12-2. Crawford picked up the win by tossing six innings of five-hit ball; he struck out 11 and walked one.

Kerkove (.380) finished with three hits and Crawford (.393) had two, including a double. Brown’s four RBIs gave him a team-high 21 on the season, while his .327 average is the fifth highest behind Crawford, Kerkove, Swearingen (.357) and Streigle (.387 in nine games).

The Savages (5-14) host-ed North Mahaska on Monday, before playing at Iowa Valley on Tuesday, July 8. The team then has a double header at BGM on Wednesday, plays at Belle Plaine on Thursday and then at Keota on Friday, July 11. Sigourney opens up postseason play in Class 1A District 11 this Saturday, July 12, against Keota at Pekin at 7pm. The win-ner will play Pekin at Pekin on Tuesday, July 15, following the game between English Valleys and IMS, which starts at 5pm.

score three times. Petie Clubb added a hit and a run against Mediapolis and is batting .417 on the season.

Two days after their win over Mediapolis, the Panthers headed to Wayland and got an easy 18-2 win against WACO. 13 hits, including three from Zach Sloan, one of which was a triple, helped Pekin cruise to the victory. Sloan did his thing on the mound, two. The senior gave up three hits and struck out seven in four innings of work.

Winn, Millikin and Cole Reighard each had two hits apiece, while Nicholson went one-for-one with three walks and three runs scored. Ryan Swanson added a single and scored three times, and Chase Copeland singled and walked.

The Panthers are in sole possession of second place in the conference at 11-4 and are 15-4 overall. Louisa-Muscatine is on top at 16-0, while Highland and Lone Tree each have five conference losses.

Pekin played a double header at Louisa-Muscatine on Monday, July 7, and then open up postseason play on Tuesday, July 15, at 7pm in Packwood. Should the Panthers win, they will play the winner of English Valleys and IMS on Thursday, July 17, at 7pm at Pekin.

Eight hits, including two each from Sloan Reighard and Madelyn Baker, gave the Panthers the offense they need-ed. Cassidy Tolle added a triple, two RBIs and two walks on the evening.

While Pekin’s bats were clicking against Mediapolis, so was the arm of pitcher Ashlyn Zook. Zook allowed three hits, struck out six and walked no one in seven innings of work to earn the win.

“Ashlyn has put in a lot of work,” Glick said. “Even though she’s a freshman, she has a good feel for how to pitch. She played on a few teams before the season started and that’s given her a jump on things. Being a freshman has kind of given her the attitude that she has to prove herself every time out.”

Zook strutted her stuff again the next night against Winfield-Mt. Union, giving up three hits in five innings to help the Panthers win, 15-1.

Baker had four of the team’s nine hits and drove in one. Pekin took advantage of some shaky pitching by the Wolves and drew a total of 14 walks on the night. The Panthers scored seven runs in the first inning to set the tone and eventually get the easy win.

Zook got her third win of the week the very next night against Louisa-Muscatine, but the story of the game was the performance by senior catcher Tiana Slaney. Slaney finished her night a perfect four-for-four at the plate; one of those hits was a homerun. Cassidy Tolle also had a big game in Pekin’s 5-1 win. The sophomore out-fielder went three-for-three and also drew a walk.

Glick’s squad finished the regular season with 16 wins and 11 losses, including 12 wins and five losses in SEISC North play. Highland won the conference with a mark of 18-0, and Wapello finished second at 15-2.

The Panthers opened up Regional play in Class 2A Region 5 on Tuesday, July 8, at home against Van Buren. With a win, Pekin will play Highland at Riverside on Wednesday, July 9, at 7pm.

A team with as little experi-ence as Keota’s isn’t approached in the same manner as a team full of established upperclass-men. With a roster that includes seven eighth graders, two fresh-men and four sophomores, the Keota baseball team is anything but established; but it’s getting there.

Building the groundwork for a team as young and unsea-soned as the Eagles is a pro-cess that requires two things: patience and progress; and last week we saw plenty of progress.

Keota started its week at Sigourney on Monday and held its own for a good portion of the game. Zach Mousel took the ball on the hill and pitched with an edge early on. Mousel struck out Sigourney’s first bat-ter looking and then retired two of the next three batters to hold the Savages scoreless. Mousel and the Keota defense then recorded a one-two-three inning that started with Mousel’s sec-ond strikeout of the game. Sigourney got to Mousel and the Eagles in the third inning in a big way. Already with two runs in, the Savages got four more on a grand slam by junior Bryce Brown.

Trailing by a score of 6-0, the Eagles’ offense decided to make some noise in the top of the fourth. A leadoff single by Nate Sieren followed by a John Mather walk started the surge and an RBI single by Jack Eakins brought home Keota’s first run of the game. Another scoreless frame from the Keota defense kept the Eagles’ deficit at 6-1 heading into the fifth inning. In the fifth, a one-out double to center by Mousel got things

cooking for the Eagles. Mousel reached third on a wild pitch and Sieren drove him in with a sacrifice fly, cutting Sigourney’s lead to 6-2. However, Sigourney added a run in the bottom half of the fifth and broke open the game in the sixth on a three-run homer by Colby Kerkove, helping the Savages earn the 12-2 win.

Mousel and Sieren each had two of the team’s five hits in the game; Eakins had the other. Mousel threw 114 pitches in five and one-third innings of work, and allowed nine hits.

Two days later the Eagles hosted Belle Plaine and played well again. A solid start on the mound by Sieren helped keep the Eagles in the game, but Keota’s offense simply couldn’t get the job done, as Belle Plaine got the win, 8-1. Sieren allowed eight hits in seven innings and struck out four. The sophomore also scored the team’s only run, which came in the seventh, and went one-for-three. Mousel, Eakins and Luke Greiner accounted for the team’s other three hits.

The Eagles hosted English Valleys on Monday, before host-ing HLV on Wednesday, July 9. The team then has home games with Lynnville-Sully on Thursday and with Sigourney on Friday, before playing Sigourney in Districts on Saturday, July 11, at 7pm in Pekin.
