All Seasons Center lifeguard, swimming instructor and Dordt University student Avery Koopmans of Sioux Center
reviews a swimming technique with her level 4 cla s made up of Kinsey Elementary School third-grade students
Splish, splash fun

Schools, pool partner
for student le sons
On land her moves may
look a li tle fishy, but her
a rms out, leg kic king
demonstrations are a l part
of Avery Koopmans’ swim
instructions to her group of
level 4 students last Tuesday.
“Do we breathe like this?”
she questioned, with her
face down toward the water.
“No,” shouted th eight
third-grade Kinsey Elemen-
Center. And o f the boys go
with a dive into the d ep
end of the A l Seasons Center
indoor pool to swim
acro s it.
K opmans watches with a
smile. The junior elementary
education major at Dordt
University in Sioux Center
used to be where these students
are — taking swimming
le sons through the
Sioux Center School District.
“That’s where I gained my
love for swimming. Then I
joined the swim team and
became a lifeguard, now I’m
teaching — have fun, listen
and learn. I want students to
wan to come to swim lessons,
not dislike coming,
because I want them to
enjoy swimming maybe
even more than I did.”
This is Koopmans’ fifth
year as a lifeguard and swimming
le sons instructor.
“It fits with my major in
that I have to make le son
plans for elementary age
kids but I also ge to connect
with elementary kids in
a di ferent way than jus the
cla sr om se ting,” she said.
“I also wan to instruct
because it’s a way to help
I enjoyed so much as a kid.”
In fact, K opmans is helping
that program — the
partnership betw en the A l
Seasons Center and the
school district and Sioux
Center Christian Sch ol to
provide swimming le sons
during the school year —
continue into its 52nd year.

EGIONAL—When West
Sioux High School junior
Gregory Cook submitted an
outline for a speech for his
online college-level speech
course last semester, he
received a notification it had been
flagged by an artificial intelligence
detector as generated by A.I.
“The online interface that the college
uses checks for A.I. and originality
in each individual assignment, and
one of my assignments I put in, it got
flagged as A.I.-written — but it wasn’t,”
boys and girls hoop teams across N’West Iowa.

Volkers sees need for care for

ORANGE CITY—Hospice care provides peace for
people in their final moments, but finding a comfortable
place to stay while receiving such services
is a challenge in N’West Iowa.
Janelle Volkers of Orange City knows from personal
experience how valuable quality hospice care
facilities can be, and she’s seeking to build a hospice
care facility of her own in Orange City.
Fundraising material describes the facility, named
Evensong Hospice Home, as Iowa’s first and only
nonprofit private-pay hospice home.
“The name Evensong was in my devotions about
four years ago,” Volkers said. “It’s a Gaelic term for
the end of the day, the last songs of the day or the
last worship of the day. It can mean the last hour

which includes $18.6 million for ongoing
construction for Lewis & Clark.
While Lewis & Clark received $22 million
from the same bill last fiscal year, the $18.6
million is what leaders from the regional
water system were asking for in 2023.
“We were very pleased. Part of it was
proposed by the administration and the

snow in parts of N’West Iowa.
The flakes started falling Monday afternoon
and continued into Thursday morning.
The storm system totaled an estimated
13.1 inches in Rock Rapids, according to
the National Weather Service.
Some areas saw as much as 7.5 inches of
snowfall from the first major wave of the
storm on Tuesday, a record according to
NWS data.
The snow was not quite as intense
farther south. Orange City, for example,
re ceived 4.4 inches. However, high winds
resulted in low visibility and led to multiple
government agencies advising against
travel, especially on rural roads.

REGIONAL—Retiring Family
Crisis Centers executive director
Shari Kastein has had the word
“first” paired with her name
more often than most in the
decades she has advocated for
victims of domestic violence,
human trafficking and other
violent crimes.
The 59-year-old opened South
Dakota’s first family crisis center
in Redfield in 1986.
Shortly thereafter, former
South Dakota Gov. George Mickelson
appointed Kastein to serve
on the state’s first Victim Compensation
Board of Directors,
which oversaw the compensation
of crime-related expenses
for crime victims.
In 2015, Kastein partnered
with the Iowa attorney general
Tom Miller to establish the
state’s first and only statewide
call center dedicated to victim services. Last
year, she established the first family visitation
center of its kind in Iowa, creating a

safe space for supervised visits and custody
exchanges for families in the tristate region.
“It’s really groundbreaking for Iowa,” Kastein
said. “It was so, so much work — but so
rewarding to do.”
Joining the other “firsts,” Kastein also
was the first Iowan to be honored by the
U.S. Justice Department with the Special
Courage Award, which she was presented
in 2019. The award recognizes
Americans who have responded to
their own victimization with exceptional
perseverance or who have
acted bravely to prevent the victimization
of others.
“Both myself and my daughter are
survivors of violent crimes,” Kastein
said. “That definitely became a quest of
mine. I was like, ‘We need to be able to
give survivors a voice.’”
That quest has animated
her nearly 40-year career
in victims’ services,
including her 25 years of
