OTTUMWA ¡ª Attacks on
the Dakota Access Pipeline
in Mahaska and Wapello
counties are being used as
evidence in a federal lawsuit
filed Tuesday by the company that built the pipeline.
Energy Transfer Partners,
the owner of the pipeline,
accuses Greenpeace and
other organizations of ecoterrorism and racketeering,
among other crimes. The
suit is being filed under the
Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations Act
(RICO) which the federal
government has used to
target organized crime.
Much of the suit¡¯s complaint focuses on organized
protest efforts to block
the pipeline, including the
well-known protests at the
Standing Rock reservation
last year. But vandalism of
the pipeline in Mahaska and
Wapello counties brings the
issue to southeast Iowa.

OTTUMWA ¡ª An investor¡¯s original idea to turn
the old St. Joseph¡¯s Hospital
into high quality apartments
turns out to be impractical.
He says a new concept, with
the St. Joe¡¯s building gone,
is more realistic.
Justin Doyle, president of
Blackbird Investments, said
he knows how important it
is to preserve a community¡¯s
historic buildings. But the
numbers don¡¯t add up; what
it would cost to renovate the
place followed by what the
place would earn just don¡¯t
match.
Some facts he thinks the
community should know:

One off the bucket list
By JEFFREY LECHNER
Courier staff writer
OTTUMWA ¡ª For Clark Yeager, owning a Century Farm has been a longtime
goal, a goal he was able to finally realize at
the Iowa State Fair this year. ¡°Well I just
thought that having a Century Farm was
one of the last things on my bucket list,¡±
said Yeager.
On Thursday, Yeager was able to cross
it off his list when he and 14 members of
his family were officially recognized during

the Century Farms Ceremony at the Iowa
State Fair. Yeager himself only owns 80
acres of the original Century Farm, and his
children, Alison Smith, Aaron Yeager and
Brad Yeager, own the remaining 160 acres.
Yeager¡¯s son Brad lives and farms just ¡°up
the road.¡± Alison and Aaron are bit farther
away in West Des Moines and Mansfield,
Texas, respectively.
Yeager¡¯s family has been farming in the
area since 1865 but not on the same farm.
