  • Water Panel to Discuss the Quality of Iowan Water,Urban Education Symposium Addresses Impacts of Inequality,College Faces Ongoin
    Water Panel to discuss the quality of Iowan water By Kelly Page [email protected] This Sunday, Feb. 25 at 2 p.m., Bucksbaum 152 will host a panel discussion entitled “Where Does Our Water Come From & Where Does It Go? A Look at Water in Grinnell and Poweshiek County.” Coming shortly after the passage of a $282 million water quality bill in the Iowa legislature in late January, which aims to reduce nitrogen and phosphorous in Iowa water, this discussion is extremely timely and will offer a chance for Grinnellians to ask experts on local water about how state wide water-related patterns play out on a local level. There are many issues with water in Grinnell that may provide discussion points on Sunday. In Iowa, runoff from farming cause chemicals like nitrates to seep into water supplies. Additionally, in 2016 the Iowa Department of Natural Resources found that upwards of 6,000 Iowans may have been exposed to unsafe levels of lead in their drinking water. Although Grinnell was not one of the affected communities, many Grinnellians probably want to know for sure just how safe the town’s drinking water is. The water quality report on the City of Grinnell’s website has not been updated since 2016, when Grinnell’s drinking water did not violate federal contamination limits. Professor Peter Jacobson, biology, who will moderate the discussion, said, “At the national level people hear about Flint, Michigan and other areas where water quality is a significant issue, so folks may want to know how safe Grinnell’s tap water is.” Interestingly,

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION If you’re interested in Coaching the System, you’re probably desperate. Or crazy. Or both. A normal human being wouldn’t even consider running the System, right? But what you know about it intrigues you, and you’re hopeful this book will be a good resource. Maybe you are searching to find a different approach, anything that will help your team improve, or that might be a better fit for your personnel next year than whatever it is you’ve been doing. And you’re desperate enough to try anything, even something as crazy—or “chaotic,” as we prefer to think of it—as The System. On the other hand, you might be a coach who has run some version of this extreme up-tempo style, and want to learn more details, deepen you knowledge base, or pick up a few new wrinkles that will give your team an edge. You love the approach, have used it for a few years, and already own a good library of instructional videos related to System basketball. Regardless of your category (desperate, crazy, or normal), we wrote this book with you in mind. We are pretty sure you aren’t picking it up as casual beach reading material, so we’re writing a technical book that tries to answer a lot of the same questions we had when we were starting out. It is—intentionally—fairly detailed, which might lead you to believe the System is complicated. It is not. In fact, a refrain you will encounter frequently in these pages is “Less is more.” SOME IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS So let’s start by making a few points.

  • Pioneers Across All Ages Pursue Sports After Grinnell,Softball's Hot
    Pioneers across all ages pursue sports after Grinnell Joey Brown ’15 and Isaiah Tyree ’15 intend to play soccer next year. Photo by Sarah Ruiz As a Division III school, Grinnell is rarely thought of as an athletic powerhouse. While it is true that for most Pioneers, competitive sports end after graduation, there are some notable exceptions. Keith Chamberlain ’08 excelled during his time at Grinnell and is among the select few who have gone on to play professionally after graduation. The 6’9” forward earned All- Midwest Conference honors before playing professionally after college in Germany, Latvia and Turkey. After his stint overseas, Chamberlain returned to the United States to play in the NBA’s D-League. In an odd turn of events, Chamberlain is currently playing for the Reno Bighorns under head coach Dave Arsenault Jr. ’09. Arseneault is the son of current Grinnell men’s basketball head coach David Arseneault Sr. Despite all of his worldly travels, Chamberlain has not forgotten his alma mater. “No matter where I play, I take the things that I’ve learned during my years at Grinnell College with me,” Chamberlain wrote in an email to The S&B. “My experiences at Grinnell helped me … adapt to almost any situation I encounter, whether it’s learning a new language, leading teammates on the court who aren’t great English speakers or discussing the political climate of the United States with the owner of a team.” Following in Chamberlain’s footsteps, teammate Bobby Long ’09 played in Germany after graduating from Grinnell, joining the Rattelsdorf Independents, where he excelled due to his experience with Grinnell’s famed and unique offense.
