SCC TAG programs explained 

By Ken Ross 

Graphic-Advocate Editor 

The three instructors for the South 

Central Calhoun Talented And 

Gifted programs at South Central 

Calhoun schools made presentations 

and answered questions at a Dec. 17 

joint meeting of the Southern Cal 

and Rockwell City/Lytton School 

Boards. 

The high school program is a 

continuation of the elementary 

and middle school program but 

does not use the TAG acronym. It 

is called GAT at the high school, a 

continuation of the Southern Cal 

program. 

Marletta Smith (elementary), 

Mandy Strief (middle school) and 

Barb Linn (high school) explained 

how students who are identified as 

academically advanced are kept 

academically challenged. 

At all levels, the children are 

involved in projects that develop 

higher level thinking skills and 

advance their academic knowledge. 

Mandy Strief is the TAG instructor 

for all of the grades in the SCC 

Middle School building, which now 

includes 4 th grade as well as grades 

5-8. 

She noted that the middle school 

has more difficulty retaining eligible 

students in the voluntary program 

than either the elementary or high 

school level programs. Currently 

in 4 th grade there are 14 students, in 

5 th grade 14 students, in 6 th grade11 

students, in 7 th grade 9 students and in 

8 th grade14 students. 

There are 15 middle school students 

determined to be eligible who have 

declined participation. 

Strief identifies three reasons 

middle school children choose not to 

participate. One is that the kids don’t 

want extra work, although she tells 

them that not much TAG work goes 

home with them. 

The second reason is that TAG cuts 

into their social time at school. 

The third reason is that middle 

school kids, more than kids at any 

other age, don’t want to be labeled as 

different from their peers. 

“In the elementary school they 

think that something special is going 

on when they are in TAG, but that 

changes for some when they get to 

middle school,” Strief said. 

She added that it is not always other 

students who use the label. Sometimes 

teachers will say something like, “Oh 

you’re talented and gifted, why didn’t 

you get this?” 

Linn noted that most eligible high 

school students participate in the 

program. They have an opportunity 

to take advanced placement classes 

through becoming eligible for GAT. 

They are also eligible to take required 

courses at earlier grades than other 

students. 

Linn said she encourages 

gifted students to get core course 

requirements out of the way in the 

freshman and sophomore grades so 

they can take college credit courses 

in their junior and senior years. Many 

of these college credit courses are 

available online. 

Online programs are the way that 

students get credits in the alternative 

high school, a separate program 

designed primarily for students 

who are designated as at risk of not 

succeeding in the regular classroom. 

Linn is also the alternative high 

school instructor for the district. There 

is some overlap between alternative 

high school and general education 

for some students, but the alternative 

high school has different credit 

requirements and a different diploma. 

*** 

During administrator reports, board 

members noted that some parents 

and grandparents have questioned 

why elementary level students did 

not present a vocal music Christmas 

concert like the middle and high 

school students did. 

Elementary Principal Nicole 

McChesney explained that the 

decision on whether or not to put 

on an elementary school holiday 

concert was determined by the 

vocal music instructor based on 

what was best educationally for the 

students. McChesney added that 

the music instructor would be better 

at explaining the reasoning for that 

decision. 

Supt. Jeff Kruse said that preparing 

for a concert takes about the entire 

time the vocal instructor has with the 

elementary students during a semester. 

He gave the analogy of an English 

instructor deciding the students’ time 

would be better spent on several small 

writing projects than one big one. 

One size does not fit all cellphone users 

By Ken Ross 


Calhoun County has be recognized 

for its safety practices two years in 

a row by the Iowa Municipalities 

Workers Compensation Association 

for its safe practices, with a material 

benefit of lower insurance rates, but 

some department heads indicated at 

a meeting of the Calhoun County 

Board of Supervisor that they won’t 

be able to follow one of the safety 

recommendations of the IMWCA. 

Sue Hammen presented a new 

set of proposed county vehicle use 

policies at the Dec. 18 board meeting 

for the department heads’ input. One 

of the changes from the old policy 

was the IMWCA recommendation 

that vehicle operators be required to 

stop before using a cellphone. 

Iowa law currently prohibits 

drivers under 18 from driving while 

using a handheld cellphone and 

prohibits anyone from driving while 

texting. The proposed policy would 

have been more stringent than state 

law. 

Bill Davis, county sheriff, noted 

that in some emergency situations, it 

is necessary to use a cellphone while 

driving. Sometimes cellphones are 

used for more privacy than there is 

using a radio and sometimes there is 

a need to talk to someone other than 

a person with access to a radio while 

on route to a location. 

Davis added that using a handheld 

radio mic would pose the same 

issues as a cellphone anyway. He 

said there is no need for anyone on 

the department to text while driving. 

Davis, who also drives a truck parttime, 

noted that federal law will soon 

require truck drivers to have handsfree 

radios in trucks. This law does 

not apply to other vehicles, including 

sheriff’s department patrol cars and 

deputies currently do not have such 

equipment in their vehicles.

as sheriff’s department personnel 

sometimes do but that they 

sometimes do need to use a cellphone 

while driving.

Bus policy to address discipline problems 

By Ken Ross 


A new policy addressing 

discipline problems on the bus will 

include suspension from the bus as 

a possible disciplinary action for 

children who don’t heed warnings, 

the members of the Southern Cal and 

Rockwell City/Lytton school boards 

were informed during a Dec. 17 joint 

board meeting in Rockwell City. 

As with a school suspension, 

discipline at that level would be 

subject to appeal to the school board. 

Such a suspension would be a last 

resort after a multi-step process is 

unsuccessful at dealing with issues. 

Bus drivers will be encouraged to 

log warnings or actions such as 

requiring the student to sit up front 

when they occur. 

At the core of the bus disciplinary 

policy are four simple rules for the 

riders. Students need to: 

!. Stay in their seats 

2. Keep hands to themselves. 

3. Keep language civil 

4. Follow the directions of adults 

on the bus. 

There was some discussion 

about the possibility of bus drivers 

contacting parents directly when the 

need for discipline goes beyond the 

warning stage. This was suggested 

in the original proposal and was 

explained by Superintendent Jeff 

Kruse that the bus driver could give 

firsthand information regarding the 

Kerrie Hull added that ambulance 

drivers also need to sometimes drive 

and use a phone at the same time. 

The proposed policy will be 

revised and considered at a later date. 

behavior that led to the disciplinary 

action. 

Some of the board members felt 

that having a supervisor make the 

contact with a parent might have a 

greater impact. Ron Kalous, one 

of the transportation supervisors, 

informed the board members that 

the bus drivers themselves had some 

concerns about contacting parents 

directly. He suggested that he or 

Doug Riley, the other transportation 

supervisor, be the ones to contact 

parents. 

It was suggested that whenever 

possible the driver be included in 

a conference call so that questions 

about behavior can be answered 

directly and in detail. 

Board members talked about 

riding on buses to experience first 

hand what goes on. 

Judy Hungate, Southern Cal 

board member, discussed what she 

witnessed first hand regarding the 

behavior of some students who rode 

the bus. 

“I’m appalled at how those kids 

acted,” Hungate said.

2 The Graphic-Advocate commentary 

DECEMBER 26, 2012 

It was the early 1940s, and a cold 

winter in Central Iowa. The drifts 

were piled high, so were the bills. 

My mother, Grace Swarm, had no 

money for Christmas. At the time, 

there were five children. I wasn’t 

born yet, and Grace and Jack Swarm 

would go on to have three more 

children. This story has been handed 

down within the family. 

A week before Christmas, my 

father took what little money there 

was and bought my mother a nice 

winter coat to wear to church. 

My mother found out about the 

purchase, and asked the store if they 

would please take the coat back. The 

store didn’t want to, but they saw 

the look in my mother’s eyes, and 

relented. My mother took the money 

and bought a load of coal. 

My father worked at a feed mill, 

and there was plenty of pallet 

lumber for the taking. He brought 

wood home, and Mom and he 

stayed up nights late, pounding a 

table and chairs together for the 

kids. My brothers and sisters were 

supposed to be asleep, but could 

hear pounding and sawing going 

on in the basement, and couldn’t 

imagine what was going on. That set 

Empty Nest By Curt Swarm 

Christmas Story 

of children’s furniture stayed in the 

family for years, and got lots of use, 

even with grandchildren. 

A few days before Christmas, my 

mother was in that same dry goods 

store where my father had purchased 

the coat. She had a few pennies, and 

was going to buy some thread so 

she could sew feed sacks together to 

make underwear. She was looking 

through the thread display rack, 

trying to pick out the cheapest 

strong thread, when she noticed 

something wound around one of the 

thread spools. Looking closely, it 

was money!--wound tightly around 

a dowel pin where a spool of thread 

had been. A hot flash came over 

my mother, as she pulled the bills 

loose and counted the money. There 

was eighty dollars! She went to her 

knees as tears poured down her face. 

A woman store clerk asked, “Mrs. 

Swarm, is everything OK?” 

My mother looked at the young 

woman, and said, “Honey, everything 

is just wonderful. It’s Christmas!” 

My mother then proceeded to buy 

dolls, and toy trucks, and Christmas 

candy and fruit for the kids. 

It was a grand Christmas Eve at 

the Swarm house, with the winter 

wind howling, and the coal fire 

stoked high. Before the kids were 

sent off to bed, they left a little snack 

and note for Santa. 

In the morning, when they came 

tumbling down the stairs, the first 

thing they saw were the dolls seated 

at the handmade table. Christmas 

candy and fruit was spread out on the 

table. The fruit was a real delicacy in 

those days, with nothing quite like 

those huge oranges and apples. The 

handmade Christmas stockings were 

stuffed to overflowing. There was 

even chocolate! 

A couple of bites had been taken 

out of Santa’s snack, and there was 

a note from Santa wishing everyone 

a merry Christmas. The handwriting 

looked strangely similar to Mother’s. 

The only thing left was Christmas 

dinner. There had not been enough 

money to purchase anything special. 

Mother looked outside, and there 

was a lone duck sitting under a bush. 

Dad stepped out onto the porch with 

a single-shot twenty-two rifle. Roast 

duck for dinner! 

Never, ever doubt the magic of 

Christmas.

4 things not to do 

about Sandy Hook 

After mass shootings, appeals for 

stricter gun controls are generally 

deferred for later and then become 

dormant. President Obama does not 

intend to let the issue go dormant 

following the Dec. 14 killing of 

26 people, 20 of them children, at 

Sandy Hook Elementary school in 

Newtown, Conn. 

Polling indicates that the National 

Rifle Association leadership’s 

automatic opposition to almost 

any restrictions on weapons is not 

supported by the majority of NRA 

members. A renewal of an assault 

rifle ban and a federal waiting 

period with a background check will 

probably be enacted, but will not end 

gun violence in America. 

That brings us to the first on my list 

of what we should not do in response 

to the massacre in Connecticut. 

1. We should not expect too much 

from new gun laws. 

Stricter gun control could 

theoretically prevent an act such 

as what occurred at Sandy Hook 

Elementary or could at least 

dramatically reduce the death toll. 

Even the theoretical possibility 

of reducing such deaths justifies 

proposed changes in the law. 

However, President Obama talks in 

terms of eliminating the possibility 

of such an event in the future. 

Our country is saturated with 

guns, many not only used illegally 

but even possessed illegally under 

current law. Shooting sprees in 

which gunmen kill as many people as 

possible account for only a fraction 

of intentional gun deaths each year, 

despite the understandable focus we 

now have on mass shootings. 

The more common type of gun 

homicide might, on some occasions, 

be deterred by stricter gun laws but 

certainly not every time. 

Future mass shootings will also 

occur after stricter gun laws are 

passed, which will prompt calls 

for even more restrictive laws and 

aggressive attempts to remove 

guns from homes. The support for 

reasonable and limited gun control 

from owners of guns will end. 

2. We should not increase the 

stigma of mental illness.

People with mental illnesses 

more commonly pose a threat to 

themselves rather than others. There 

are many who are neither suicidal 

nor homicidal but are suffering and 

need help. 

However, many people are now 

in a “why don’t we do something 

about all these mentally ill people 

before they slaughter more of our 

children?” frame of mind. 

Any mental health initiative 

motivated by mass murders and 

instituted for the purpose of 

preventing future mass murders 

is unlikely to establish a nonthreatening, 

non-judgmental 

environment for the mentally ill. 

3. We should not lose our 

perspective. 

There are many reasons for parents 

to worry about their children’s safety 

– traffic, fire, household poisons 

and natural disasters to name a few. 

Child murder is far down the list 

among the possible causes of death 

and the possibility of specifically 

being killed in a school shooting 

spree is statistically insignificant. 

It may seem cold-blooded to 

evaluate the significance of an event 

like the Sandy Hook massacre in 

terms of a statistical comparison to 

other causes of death but such an 

evaluation is necessary when we 

make policy decisions as to where to 

focus our efforts. 

People, including children, have 

a natural sense of perspective 

regarding such dangers as violent 

weather. We need to take precautions 

but we don’t become obsessed about 

the danger. The intentional killing 

of children is so bizarre that we 

find it difficult to keep the event in 

perspective. 

We have to try and we have to 

avoid conveying a terror to children 

that serves no safety objective. 

4. We should not turn our schools 

into fortresses. 

For a variety of valid reasons, 

schools usually require visitors 

to go to the office and announce 

themselves upon entering the 

building, except when attending a 

public function at the school. 

Sandy Hook Elementary had a

buzz-in system but the intruder had 

enough firepower to blast through 

that security. Many schools, certainly 

those in rural communities, don’t 

even have this level of security. 

Several years ago, when I was 

working at a different newspaper 

in a different town in Iowa, schools 

in my area reacted to the killing of 

five girls by an intruder at an Amish 

school in Pennsylvania. 

This shooting event resembled the 

recent Connecticut massacre in that 

it involved an intruder. Most school 

shootings are carried out by students 

but an intruder based incident is 

needed as a rationale for the kind of 

security measures taken in schools 

in the area where I was working. 

The schools locked all the doors 

during the school day except the one 

nearest the front office, with exiting 

the building still possible from any 

door. Visitors needed to sign in 

and wear a name tag while in the 

building. 

There are valid reasons for requiring 

visitors to sign in but to announce the 

requirement as a security measure 

in response to murders didn’t make 

sense. Would a mass murderer be 

deterred by a requirement to sign a 

form and wear a name tag? 

I mentioned the possibility at the 

time that by locking all but one 

door in the building, students could 

be slowed in getting to a place of 

protection from assault or violent 

weather. A student who is alone and 

suffering from a medical condition 

might have more difficulty getting 

help. Emergency service personnel 

might be prevented from getting 

where they need to be as quickly as 

possible. 

The possibility of an only-onedoor-unlocked 

situation causing a 

death or other serious consequence 

is remote, but I believe slightly less 

remote than an unlocked door policy 

causing a tragedy. 

I doubt that anyone has attempted 

to do a study on the relative dangers 

of the two practices. The locking of 

doors was done simply for the sake 

of doing something in response to 

tragedy. I’m not a fan of that kind of 

action.

especially those families who lost 

loved ones in the Sandy Hill School. 

Kids who were born in 2006 should 

be having a lot more birthdays, and 

so should their teachers. God bless 

the first responders. God bless the 

people who have lost their homes, 

perhaps to a tornado, hurricane, 

earthquake or flood. God bless those 

who are sick or alone. “Glory to God 

in the highest, and on earth peace, 

good will toward men,” from Luke 

2:14 in King James Version. And 

hold your loved ones close. 

At Christmas we bring out many 

familiar things – decorations, special 

recipes – what about entertainment? 

Remember the Christmas shows on 

television years ago? There was the 

“Andy Williams Christmas Show.” 

We understand he was an Iowa native 

from around Wall Lake, who passed 

away recently. Of course, there was 

“Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” 

with Burl Ives singing, and also the 

“Little Drummer Boy.” There have 

been many remakes of “A Christmas 

Carol” by Charles Dickens. And 

who could forget the Charlie Brown 

Christmas specials. 

As for movies, many people are 

fond of “It’s a Wonderful Life” with 

Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed 

(wasn’t she from Iowa, too?). And 

don’t forget Bing Crosby in “White 

Christmas.” Perhaps you have other 


favorites. Someone mentioned that 

they liked the movie called “The 

Fourth Wise Man.” 

If you are familiar with the band 

Mannheim Steamroller, you may 

have heard that they performed in 

Des Moines on Dec. 21 and Dec. 22. 

According to the Des Moines Civic 

Center website, “MANNHEIM 

STEAMROLLER CHRISTMAS 

by Chip Davis has been America’s 

favorite holiday celebration for 

more than 25 years. Grammy 

Award-winner Chip Davis has 

created a show featuring the beloved 

Christmas music of Mannheim 

Steamroller along with dazzling 

multimedia effects performed in an 

intimate setting.” 

Although the Christmas songs may 

be familiar, this is not a sing-along. 

To describe the show, words like 

incredible, colossal, and captivating 

come to mind. (You may know that 

Chip started the whole thing not in 

Nashville or Los Angeles or New 

York, but just down the road in 

Omaha, Nebraska.) 

How do you celebrate the New 

Year? Some people go out to “ring it 

in.” Others are content to stay home, 

make popcorn and watch some 

movies. Do you watch the Rose Bowl 

parade and the Rose Bowl game, and 

the other bowl games? This year we 

have reason to watch the Outback 

Bowl played in Tampa, FL on Jan. 

1, 2013. We would look for a group 

called the Brotherhood, a dance 

team of male high school students 

from South Central Calhoun High 

School. They won first place at state 

competition recently, and they are 

scheduled to perform at the Outback 

Bowl on New Year’s Day. The group 

originated at the RC-L High School. 

Best wishes and Happy New Year. 

See you on the other side of the 

Fiscal Cliff!

Contest’ put on by the Life Enrichment Department. Team 

members each modeled their sweater and danced to the tune 

of “Jingle Bell Rock.” Residents voted for the best sweater and 

decided that all of them were great and should receive a prize.

Well it finally snowed and from the 

sound of things it will still be on the 

ground through Christmas for those 

of us who like a white Christmas 

On a recent Sunday Charles 

Brobst received a Special Mission 

Recognition Award from The United 

Methodist Women. It is given to 

honor those who have given of 

their time and talents to the Church. 

Congratulations Chuck. 

Our sympathies to the family and 

friends of Verne Smith who passed 

away at his home last week. He will 

We live in a difficult time, no 

question about it. Things have 

been happening lately that offer 

little explanation and put fear into 

our society. In past editions of this 

article, you know that we have 

discussed some controversial topics, 

but all of which impacted how we 

pursue our outdoor passions. This 

piece might spark the most response 

yet, and I encourage you to send 

your feedback, whether you agree or 

disagree. 

Let me first say in response 

to the heartbreaking tragedy in 

Connecticut: as a parent of two 

young children, I can’t even begin 

to fathom the depth of the pain these 

parents and families of the victims 

have to deal with. It will be a long 

painful road to healing, and my 

family and I have been constantly 

praying for peace in their lives. 

Following the recent tragedy, you 

can plan on things changing for 

Americans. Having kept very close 

tabs on the news, I find it appalling 

that anti-gun advocates have used 

this horrific event to further their 

agenda of disarming the American 

people. It will affect us as hunters 

and gun owners—mark my words. I 

felt a response was necessary in this 

week’s column following how the 

“drive-by media” has handled this 

event. 

Having said that, I know human 

nature has a tendency to blame 

something or someone after a 

tragedy occurs. Justifiably, we want 

justice for the innocent. Even if that 

be missed 

Trivia question for the week 

is What Monroe County Town with 

a population of about six thousand 

in 1910 was composed mostly of 

African Americans? 

Answer is Buxton. 

Well hope you all had a Merry 

Christmas and will have a Happy 

New Year and hope you all remember 

that JESUS IS THE REASON FOR 

THE SEASON SEE YOU NEXT 

WEEK.

and outdoor talk radio show host. Email: tha481@gmail.com 

means going after a tool that was 

used. Unfortunately, justice died 

when the shooter took his own life 

following his actions. 

The Second Amendment to the 

U.S. Constitution reads, “A well 

regulated militia being necessary to 

the security of a free state, the right 

of the people to keep and bear arms 

shall not be infringed.” This phrase 

is so simple and so clear that it 

baffles me to where the debate comes 

in. To assure continued freedom as 

Americans, we, the people must be 

secure against invasion, crime and 

tyranny, (yes, tyranny does exist in 

our modern age). A governmental 

take-over of our gun rights would 

mark the beginning of a tyranny. 

‘What kind of guns’ is a big part 

of the discussion, too. Was the 

Second Amendment written only 

for muskets? No, it specifically says 

“arms”, more for their purpose than 

what type, and the rest of the U.S. 

Constitution is a very progressive 

document, meaning it was written 

to grow with our development as a 

nation. 

Some claim we have no reasonable 

need for guns capable of carrying 

more than 10+ rounds. There are 

plenty of reasons that I could 

provide, but sport shooting and selfdefense 

are two worth discussing at 

this point. The media has also doe a 

great job of criminalizing the term 

“assault weapon” or “assault rifle”,

SMCH mammography receives high marks 

DECEMBER 26, 2012 The Graphic-Advocate 5 

SMCH employees 

donate to the Food Pantry 

As tough economic times 

continue, many area families are 

left with minimal resources to 

provide food for their families. In 

an effort to provide some relief for 

those less fortunate, employees 

at Stewart Memorial Community 

Hospital contributed non-perishable 

foods to the Lake City food pantry. 

Linda Rath, Bethany Morrow and 

Sheila Remsburg, Stewart Memorial 

Community Hospital employees, 

spearheaded this collection drive. “It 

was heartwarming to see employees 

drop off bags and boxes of food. 

The food pantry is utilized by 60-80 

families per month and the pantry’s 

shelves needed to be stocked. This 

is a great way for Stewart Memorial 

Community Hospital to give back to 

the community during the holiday 

season,” noted Rath.

offered at Stewart Memorial 

Community Hospital, log onto our

Getting a mammogram is an 

important step in the early detection 

of cancer. Knowing that your provider 

has passed an important inspection 

by the FDA leads to the peace of 

mind that high standards are being 

met. Stewart Memorial Community 

Hospital (SMCH) has been notified 

that it has passed the Mammography 

Quality Standards Act (MQSA) 

inspection with no deficiencies. 

MQSA became legislation in 

1992. Administered by the FDA, 

it established national standards 

for accreditation, certification 

and inspection of mammography 

facilities in the U.S. Because of these 

standards, millions of women who 

receive mammograms in the U.S. 

each year can be confident they are 

receiving high-quality, consistent 

and reliable breast imaging at 

mammography facilities across the 

country. 

With a total of 73 years of 

experience, the five mammographers 

on staff at SMCH are all registered 

and board certified with the American 

Registry of Radiologic Technologists. 

In addition, SMCH offers digital 

technology and all staff have advanced 

training in its use. All mammograms 

are interpreted at Mercy Medical 

Center by mammography certified

Boards meet together 

For about two years now, the Southern Cal and Rockwell City/Lytton School Boards have met at least monthly in joint sessions to 

discuss matters of mutual concern to the whole-grade sharing partners. If a consolidation vote is passed in both districts on Feb. 

5, 2013, both boards will continue to operate until the districts are officially consolidated July 1, 2014 as the South Central Calhoun 

District. (Graphic-Advocate photo by Ken Ross) 

SCCMS boys play basketball 

at Newell and East Sac 

The South Central Calhoun 7th 

& 8th grade boys’ basketball teams 

travelled to Newell last week to take 

on the Newell Fonda Mustangs. The 

Titan 7th graders ran into a solid 

Mustang crew falling by a score of 

57-38. Leading the way in scoring 

was Tyler Jones with 20 pts. Colton 

Bahr and Chase Pibal both had 6 pts 

apiece. 

Coach Williamson commented, 

“The difference was Newell Fonda’s 

press. They forced turnovers and 

capitalized on our mistakes.” 

The Titan 8th grade team ran into 

a physical mustang squad as South 

Central Calhoun came up short 40- 

35. Brenden Henklemen led the 

Titans with 17 pts. Tyler O’Tool 

chipped in with 7 pts. 


“We ran into a physical team 

tonight and just couldn’t match them 

in that department. Kids played hard 

but Newell Fonda stayed just a step 

ahead all night. Overall both 7th and 

8th graders continue to work hard. 

Consistency has been a big issue for 

both groups. Still some games to be 

played and I’m sure we’ll continue 

to improve.” 

The South Central Calhoun Titans 

7th & 8th grade boys basketball 

teams the traveled to East Sac 

County last week for two 7th grade 

games and one 8th grade game. The 

OUTSIDE continued 

from page 3 

yet they can’t even define what 

those terms means. 

By what I assume the definition 

might imply, this statement could 

include a .22 squirrel rifle, 22-250 

prairie dog set up, a .223 coyote 

rifle, or a shotgun with a magazine 

extension used for snow goose 

hunting—the list goes on. Where 

does it stop? 

This week’s edition is not meant 

to push you into picking sides, rather 

to let you know that your rights are 

under attack in a big way, especially 

now. If new constitutional regulation 

gets forced down our throats, we 

as hunters and gun owners will be 

footing the bill. Restricting gun 

availability/ownership WILL NOT 

prevent these heinous acts from 

taking place in the future. 

Fewer guns and stiffer accessibility

Closed on Monday, December 24 & 

Tuesday December 25 

first contest saw East Sac slowly 

wear down the Titan 7A squad 

coming up with a 31-18 win. Tyler 

Jones had 10 pts in a losing effort. 

In the 7B game the Titans hung 

tough before bowing, 26-20. Joey 

Schrage had a double-double for 

the Titans scoring 10 pts and pulling 

down 11 rebounds. Joey also had 4 

blocked shots. Tanner Fistler and 

Jerad Campbell each , had 4 pts. 

Coach Boerner commented, “The 

kids continue to improve and both 

squads tonight hustled and put in 

solid efforts “ 

The Titan 8th graders took the 

floor and the crowd was treated to 

quite an exciting game. In a see saw 

affair the Titans came away with a 

hard earned 39-35 win. 

The titans had nine 3 pointers 

including 4 by Kody Case and 3 

by Jonas Otto. Otto led the team in 

scoring with 13 pts, while Case had 

12 pts. A.J. Neubaum finished with 

7 pts. 


“I told the kids it was a pure gut 

check time. They stepped up in 

key situations and came away 

with a huge win on the road. They 

(Raiders) took away our inside game 

and we responded with our outside 

shooting. A huge win going into the 

break “ 

is not the answer. Perhaps if more 

American citizens took advantage 

of their rights to a ‘concealed carry’, 

more of these tragedies could be 

slowed, if not prevented. 

As far as I’m concerned, it all 

starts at home. We as parents have 

an obligation to instill the highest of 

values and respect into our children 

though conversation, love and our 

actions. By involving them in the 

sports of hunting or shooting at a 

very young age, they will grasp onto 

the deep respect that is required in 

firearm safety and handling in which 

our heritage is based. You can rest 

assured their impact on society, as 

future gun owners will be positive.
