Community comes out in support of stricken teen

By JOHN JENSEN The Grundy Register HOLLAND — Your senior year of high school is supposed to be one of the happiest, most care free times of your life. Yet for one Grundy Center High School senior, it has become anything but.

The world was Hillary Samo’s oyster. An outstanding student, popular with others and a key player on the Spartans’ state championship golf team, she was looking forward to seeing her friends at school again, enjoying her final homecoming and getting ready for college next year.

Then her world changed.

Having been treated the previous week for bronchitis that her mother, Rhonda, feared had become pneumonia, Hillary returned to the doctor July 30. It was there that they found a mass in her chest … a mass that had not been there when she had an x-ray last spring. Less than 24 hours later, Hillary and her parents were on their way to Iowa City for testing.

“They found that it was a large mass, which they told us about in Grundy, and broke it down to being lymphoma,” Rhonda said. “They pretty much told us that’s what they expected.”

The official diagnosis came five days later. Less than a week after going to the doctor, Hillary was staring face-to-face with Stage 2 Hodgkins Lymphoma, a curable form of cancer that often afflicts teens and young adults.

‘Nobody should have to go through something like this, especially somebody that I’m really good friends with.’

— Hillary’s friend and teammate Lindsay Freeman “That was very difficult to learn,” Rhonda said.

Doctors placed Hillary on chemotherapy to attempt to destroy the diseased cells. She spends three days at a time at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and then is able to come home. The first of four cycles of chemotherapy ended Monday, with the second starting immediately. After two cycles are complete, doctors will run another series of tests to determine how the cancer is reacting to treatment and whether or not radiation therapy is needed in addition to the chemotherapy.

“They would rather not do radiation,” Rhonda said. “If they can get it with the chemo, they’ll do that.”

Upon returning home from the hospital that first time, Hillary found those she knows best, her family and friends, waiting to wish her well. Among her first visitors were her coach and teammates from the Spartan golf team, the same group of girls that was celebrating together just two months before.

“When we went out there as a team to help support her and her

family, she told us how important we were to her and told us how important her faith in God was to her,” Golf Coach Rick Schupbach said. “She looked at all of us and said ‘I’m glad it’s me - I wouldn’t want it to be any of you. I’m strong enough to get through this.’ That was powerful.”

Schupbach said what was supposed to be a meeting where Hillary’s friends and teammates made her feel better had a very different effect.

“What was powerful to me was that Hillary actually witnessed to her teammates,” he said. “We went out to show support and love to her family, yet I really feel that we were strengthened by her attitude and her faith.”

“Nobody should have to go through something like this, especially somebody that I’m really good friends with,” Hillary’s friend and teammate, Lindsay Freeman, said. “Once you get hit with something like this it’s always hard.”

Freeman said that first meeting with Hillary was difficult because of how fresh in their minds their friend’s diagnosis was.

ing from a period when it was averaging about 40 students per grade level to nearly 60. With more students has come the need for more sections of students and with more sections of students comes the need for more space to put them.

The growth began in earnest five years ago when the District expanded to three sections of kindergarten for the first time. Those students are in fifth-grade now, and every class behind them has also needed three sections.

“This is a trend,” Murra said. “As we look at our projections, we’re looking to stay right around the 60 students in a grade level.”

In fact, the smallest classes in the school district are currently the 11th- and 12th-graders at the high school.

As the need arose for more space at the elementary school, something had to give to make space for those students. Early childhood education suddenly needed a new home, and that new home was the upper elementary building, which had been used for storage.

“The first year it was the preschool that moved over there and then two years later we moved the before- and after-school programs, which had been using space in the

(elementary) cafeteria,” Murra said.

The District’s original plan was to utilize and renovate the upper elementary for use by those programs, as well as for a third district gymnasium. That was until a major mechanical issue changed plans for the 80-year-old building.

“We brought in specialists, engineers and architects to make sure the building was sound and were kind of making a plan for ‘How do we make it usable,’” Murra said. “And then the boiler went out. In order to replace the boiler you were going to have to take out part of a foundational wall. And beside that wall set some empty cisterns.”

That created (potential cost) risk, Knaack said, that the School Board was uncomfortable taking.

“I think that’s what the Board looked at it — let’s consider what’s this going to cost and what potential risk there’s going to be as we move forward in our facilities plan,” she said. “Is it going to need new windows? Is it going to need new doors?

Is it going to need new plumbing along with the heating?”

With concern about potential unknown, the District began to formulate a plan to move out of the upper

“It was a little confusing because not everybody knew what was going to happen and what it was going to be like,” she said. “We’re a pretty close team, so that helped, and everybody just kind of treated her like a normal person. We just kind of let her know that we would always be there for her.”

“That was a difficult emotional time, but a very powerful time,” Schupbach said. “The most powerful moment that I’ve had as a coach was just to be in that room and feel that room, that intimacy, that closeness.

There’s nothing better than to feel that. It’s there, it’s real and I’m glad to be a part of it. And I think Hillary is too.”

Schupbach said one of the most powerful moments in the meeting came not from Hillary or one of the girls, but from Hillary’s father, Shawn.

“Shawn said to the team, ‘Hillary’s mother and I consider the golf team a group of angels for our daughter,’” Schupbach recalled.

“That was an incredible statement.

When you have a parent saying that her teammates are a group of angels for her …”

Support for Hillary has come from far more than just her family and those who know her best. Grundy Center’s junior high volleyball team put a violet hodgkin’s disease ribbon on the sleeve of their t-shirts in honor of Hillary, and the football See SAMO page 7

Expansion project would bring new classrooms, gymnasium Part two of a two-part series. As Grundy Center Community School District voters prepare to go to the polls next Tuesday (Sept. 10) and decide whether or not to pass a bond issue that will allow the District to add on to both its Elementary and Secondary buildings, many questions have been raised. This week’s story explores the District’s proposed construction project in detail, focusing on its need for each area of expansion that has been proposed.

Other topics include what will be done with the Upper Elementary building and, finally, what the District will do if the bond issue fails.

‘This One’s for Curt’ — a special night at the races

By PATTI RUST The Grundy Register MARSHALLTOWN – Surrounded by family and friends sporting bright orange shirts that carry a message much more meaningful than your average racing t-shirt, Curt Ramundt of Grundy Center was escorted to the winner’s circle during a recent Friday night of racing at Marshalltown Speedway where he and his family were presented a check in the amount of $1,200.00 in support of his fight against cancer. The emotional presentation put the racing events of the night into perspective.

Ramundt has been a constant of the 26J racing team since their first go-kart tire hit the dirt oval at Cottonwood Speedway near New Hartford 13 years ago. He has been a steadfast friend and supporter of driver Joel Rust and his dad Harvin through years of kart racing followed by a transition to IMCA SportMod racing four years ago.

He has contributed countless hours as a vital member of the pit crew as they traveled to various racing events in and out of the state of Iowa.

“It has made it a lot easier on Dad and I,” Joel Rust said. “He knows his jobs when we get to the track and we never have to worry about those things because we know they will be done. He also comes over to the shop during the week whenever there might be extra work to do on the car after an unlucky weekend.

If we need an errand run he is the first to volunteer. We can definitely tell when he is not able to make it because he has so many jobs that

he takes care of. ” It is only fitting that his extended racing family would come together to support Curt in his battle with cancer, which was diagnosed in the spring of 2013. Emily Ryerson, Sabrina Law, and Jayni Hirth spearheaded an effort to design and sell t-shirts to raise money to be donated to the faamily.

“After Curt’s diagnosis we decided that we wanted to do whatever we could to help during this time,” Ryerson said. “We know that Curt is a very important part of the 26J race team and while watching Joel this season we always said to each other, ‘He’s doing this one

for Curt.’ We wanted to give Joel’s fans the opportunity to give back to someone who has supported him.”

Those sentiments provided the inspiration for the neon orange tshirts designed with a cancer ribbon and “Joel Rust 26J” on the front, and the phrase “This One’s for Curt” overlaying checkered flags on the back. The shirts, as one might imagine, sold themselves.

The demand was so great at the track and in surrounding communities that a second order needed to be placed.

“When we placed the first t-shirt order it was large, but after we received them and people saw them

we placed another large order,” Ryerson said. “Johnny Ray’s also helped with selling several shirts quickly even to people who didn’t know Curt but wanted to help. We also had people who gave generous donations. It was very clear that people wanted to help in any way that they could.”

Ramundt was completely surprised and a bit taken aback by the emotional presentation at the speedway.

“He said he didn’t know whether to be mad, or to cry, or to give us all a hug,” Law said.

Later, back in the pits, Curt’s wife Donna and daughter, Jess,

talked with supporters about how Curt made it to the track as much as he could this season, even during several weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. They believe being at the track actually helped him through it all.

During an interview after a recent win at Benton County Speedway in Vinton, Joel made special mention of Curt, acknowledging that while he wasn’t able to be at the races as much as he would have like to this year.

Curt was there to see the win on that night. This one’s for you, Curt.

This one’s for you.

The Grundy Register invited the six candidates running for Grundy Center School Board to tell a little about themselves and the reasons they are running for school board.

Each of the six candidates responded to the questionnaire.

Each candidate was asked the same four questions. Their responses to the questions are listed unedited.

Candidates are listed alphabetically.

Brent Ascher Age: 44.

Other public service (if applicable): Elementary football and basketball coach.

Grundy Center Schools Building Advisory.

Why have you chosen to run for School Board? — I want to serve the students, staff, and community of the Grundy Center School District by contributing my time and talents. I also feel that my past employment with the University of Northern Iowa will be an asset in helping me relate to diverse groups of people and situations.

What school-related issues are most important to you? — The most important issue is to make sure that the students and staff have the appropriate resources so that our students can succeed and grow into well-prepared adults. I also want to make sure that we have a safe learning environment in the classroom as well as during extra-curricular activities.

In your opinion, how well is the Grundy Center Community School District currently meeting the needs of its students? — I currently have a 7th and 5th grader in the school system. I am pleased with how well the staff at GC has met the needs of my two boys who are each unique. The staff seems to be always looking for new ways to help students.

Where must the District improve to meet the needs of its students? — Education, environments, technology, etc. are always changing. I feel that there is always room for improvement in any situation in this ever-changing world.

Vicki Knaack Age: 41 Occupation: Director of Customer Operations Previous years on Board: Four.

Why have you chosen to run for the School Board?

— Having four boys within the Grundy Center School system, I am personally vested in our District.

However, I believe it’s critical for a Board member to be objective in order to make decisions that are best for all kids in the District.

What school related issues are the most important to you? — In my opinion, the Board must always maintain a level of focus on finances, and obviously facilities have gained a great deal of attention. However, we cannot lose sight of what happens within our facilities. We need to ensure we continue to see growth in our test scores and ensure our children are given the skill sets required to compete in the world today.

In order to meet these expectations, we must provide our staff with the resources needed to create the best learning experience and environment for our students. This includes quality professional development for all district employees along with ensuring safe environments whether it is in the classroom, on the bus, on the stage or on the athletic field. Our responsibility as a board is to ensure we have policies and fi-

nances in place to provide these resources.

In your opinion, how well is the Grundy Center Community School District currently meeting the needs of its students? — I believe the Grundy Center Community School District is truly focused on what is best for our students. We continue to be a leader in the use of technology in all of our classrooms, and every day I see the results of those efforts in my own children.

We have found opportunities to partner with other districts, and as a result, we are able to offer our students several college credit courses through the Western Outreach Center. The Grundy Center School District has also partnered with surrounding districts with shared positions such as Maintenance Director, Business Manager, School Nurses, and Transportation Director. We have developed additional partnerships with other government organizations, businesses, and community organizations. These partnerships are providing our students with some great learning opportunities, and they also make sense financially.

Where must the District improve to meet the needs of its students? — As our world continues to advance, it is essential for our students to develop critical thinking skills and have the ability to collaborate. The challenge is how we continue to develop these qualities in our students, especially as not every child learns in the same manner.

Chad Mackie Age: 42 Previous years on the board: Three months.

Other public service: U.S. Army Chaplain / Patriot Guard Chaplain.

Why have you chosen to run for School Board? — I have decided to run for the school board because I believe we must always be willing to serve something that is greater than ourselves. As a school board member we serve and listen, first. Grundy Center School District has a high standard of excellence, and I want this to continue. I want what is best for the students and staff, not necessarily Chad Mackie.

It is our responsibility as a school board to model what right looks like.

As we serve and provide a collaborative team approach, we must be willing to listen for what is best for our students without a personal agenda.

As a school board member we are fiscal stewards of taxpayer’s dollars. I will help to provide important oversight to ensure taxpayer’s investments in education have the most impact for the least cost. As a member of a team, we will set policy and provide purpose direction and motivation for our students and staff.

We will ensure that the district have a competent management staff that accepts nothing less than the best. I am committed to public service, and willing to put in the extra time. I will invest my time in the learning process when it comes to understanding societal and educational trends. I am committed to come to the table with an open mind, willing to learn about critical issues and make informed decisions.

What school related issues are most important to you? The school issues that are most important to me are issues providing safety, security and a high standard of educational growth. We will always look to meet the needs of our community’s greatest investment, our children. We will ensure we achieve higher levels of post high school testing (ie.,ACT/ Compass). We must do a better job of preparing our kids for the “next step.” Our middle school read-

Thursday, September 5, 2013

ing standards must increase so we can exceed the state average every year. We will continue to improve the hiring and evaluating process of the staff. We will instill a desire to WANT to be the best in all that we do as a team.

In your opinion, how well is the Grundy Center Community School District currently meeting the needs of its students? — Since I was appointed in June to be part of a team of school board members, I have been impressed with our financial position. The financial position has created some opportunities to help meet the needs of our students.

We are continuing to look at ways to improve our student’s safety and security. Two ways that are going to help address this are in the building of tornado safe rooms in each school and ALICE training for our students and staff. As a member of a team, we will improve our communication within the school district. We will be willing to evolve with the current generation of children and parents.

What worked in the 1990’s might not work in 2013 and beyond. We are on track in a lot of areas although we need to look at ways to improve for today and the future.

Where must the District improve to meet the needs of its students? The Grundy Center Schools District must set higher goals and set specific action steps to achieve these goals. The school board will set higher expectations for our graduates and if our school wants to be the best educational system, we have to be relentless in improving achievement. We must improve our elementary children’s reading skills.

We must improve the scores of our tests for post high school preparation. As a team we will continue to evolve the Good Conduct policy to ensure accountability to our students while maintain Due Process for the students, family and staff. While I strongly support our local educators, I also believe the staff members of the Grundy Center School District need to be seen as a moral compass for our children, as we look to the future.

Kelly Mathews Age: 42 Occupation: Occupational Therapist and Rehab Manager for Oak Hill Rehabilitation.

Previous years on the School Board: 7 Years.

Why have you chosen to run for School Board? — I am running for the remaining 2 year term of the vacated Director seat. I have truly enjoyed the past 7 years serving on the School Board and I would like to continue to be a voice for the needs of our students, and to prioritize these needs so our students reach high levels of educational achievement. We, as a board and superintendent team, have worked to set goals and I want to see these goals through. I hope to make a direct impact and serving on the board is a responsibility that I do not take lightly.

What School-related issues are most important to you? — It is important to me, as a Board Member, to make decisions based on what is best for ALL Grundy Center students and the entire District, as well as being a direct link between the community and the school. It is important that the district moves forward with the Iowa Core Curriculum as we set standards for what all students should know. Making sure our students are prepared for what path

they chose post High School is also a priority. We need to continue to focus on outcomes and empowering our leadership team to achieve these outcomes.

In your opinion, how well is the GCCSD currently meeting the needs of it’s students? — I feel that GCCSD is progressive and continues to strive to do what is “best for kids”. The district has set goals and has been and will continue to prioritize student’s needs. The District has been proactive with technology as students continue to be more global and need to be prepared for a competitive world.

Where must the District improve to meet the needs of it’s students? — We, as a district, need to continue to focus on the facilities that we provide. We need to accommodate our growing numbers at the Elementary and Middle School levels. As we approach the election and weigh in on the community support of the expansion, we will need to move forward with the decisions that the community makes. The district will need to continue to prioritize budgets and programs to maintain financial stability.

Ron Saak Age: 46 Occupation: Farmer, Business Developer and Financial Consultant Previous years on Board: None on school board.

Other public service: P a s t vice chair of the Grundy County Memorial Hospital, Past chair of the Grundy Center Development Corporation, Washington Township Trustee, Elder at First Presbyterian Church in Grundy Center.

Why have you chosen to run for School Board? — I was born and raised in Grundy Center and now have four children attending the Grundy Center Community Schools; ranging from 2nd grade through 9th grade. My wife also works in the elementary library. My primary objective for running for the school board is to bring my past board and business experience to serve the students and community of Grundy Center.

If voted on the school board, you can expect that I will research each and every question thoroughly, listen to all sides and think through the outcomes, come to board meetings prepared and ask tough questions, and hold the administration, teachers, and students accountable. I believe in setting goals for the administration. These goals should measure student achievement and hold the administration accountable if improvement is not made. As a board member, I will work with the other members to set clear expectations and create a successful environment for the administration, teachers, and students. You can be assured that I will act with fiscal responsibility and adopt a budget each year that uses conservative financial assumptions.

Finally, each and every decision that is made will first start with the question, “Is this in the best interest of our students?”

What school-related issues are most important to you? — The educational experience our children receive is vital to preparing them to lead our communities and nation in the future. With that said, I am a strong proponent that our children should all have the basic skills in reading, writing, math, science, and social sciences, regardless of their chosen occupation. I am particular-

ly concerned that some grades have shown substandard standardized test scores in core areas; specifically science, reading, and math. I feel we need to focus intently on these academic areas and work to improve them, so our students are prepared for the future as they graduate from GCHS. In conjunction with a strong academic environment, I feel that we should have strong extra-curricular activity programs that offer a variety of choices with quality coaches/ mentors and facilities. Whether it is band, chorus, ACDEC, FFA, football, golf, tennis, volleyball, basketball or others, we need to emphasize this as part of the overall educational experience that teaches life lessons about motivation, perseverance, commitment, respect, and dedication. I know we have dedicated coaches/mentors that put in countless hours working diligently trying to mold young men and women that do an outstanding job. However, I feel our administration can do more to ensure we have the right people in place in all of these areas and support these programs, coaches, and students to put them in a position to succeed. Many lessons are learned from participating in extra-curricular activities that shape who we become as citizens.

I am also concerned about the proposed $7.6 million building project. I was asked to join the facilities committee and attended the meetings to discuss the plan to add a new elementary addition, performing arts addition, and an athletic addition.

During those meetings, I voiced my opinion several times that I am not in favor of tax payers being asked to pay for a fitness center for YMCA members as I felt the students should have their own facility. I strongly believe in the value the YMCA brings to a community but do not feel that our students should be sharing a work-out facility with adults from the community. I suggested many times the YMCA work out facility be moved to the Upper Elementary, since it had a new roof a few years ago and had been deemed structurally sound. I understood the boiler was no longer operational and suggested the school consider wall mount heating and air conditioning units for each room. This idea was met with resistance each and every time by our superintendent; even though current and past YMCA board members thought it was a viable option.

Next, I also raised concern regarding the $211,000 contingency to cover cost over runs and felt it should be higher. The estimates were provided by an architectural firm, and there had been no bids gathered.

In fact, the pamphlet that had been circulated indicated a cost of $7.6 million. The dollar amount on the election ballot is now over $7.8 million. Further, the question was never answered on who would be paying for the relocated tennis courts. Another question never answered was what would happen with the existing work out room. During one of the meetings I asked Mr. Folkedahl, our school’s maintenance person, how much money would need to be spent in the coming years on existing facilities. He stated the heating and air conditioning system in the high school would need attention and the roof was leaking in the library. I am not sure where the funds will come from to pay for our needed improvements. There were many more unanswered questions which is why I am not comfortable with this project as it is today. I would ask you to vote “No” on this bond referendum

3

and get a new school board in place.

Let that new board put together a needs assessment across all academic and extra-curricular activities, involve more community members, and develop a plan this winter and schedule a new vote next April. That plan may include some or many of the items mentioned, but it will be done in a manner that provides additional programming for our students and spends money on our kids. If our kids want access to a gym and their own work out facility, shouldn’t these be priorities as we design a new athletic addition?

There is just too much uncertainty right now with potentially three new school board members, and a superintendent that has applied for jobs outside of our District, to be spending $7.8 million that will leverage our school’s bonding capability to a point it will require another question on the ballot to spend any large sums of money going forward. For these reasons, please vote “No” for now.

In your opinion, how well is the Grundy Center Community School District currently meeting the needs of its students? — I believe we need to create an environment of continuous improvement in all areas of the educational experience. While some areas are more successful than others, it is important that we have a culture that cultivates the notion of getting better each and every day at whatever we do.

Where must the District improve to meet the needs of its students? — First, I feel that we need to listen to our students and trust them. Some of the policies in place in our District do not instill a sense of trust with our students. For example, the open gym policy (or lack thereof) does not put any faith or trust in our students that they can take care of the facilities. If we give them a sense of ownership, and instill a sense of responsibility, and show we trust them, they will in turn respect the system and facilities. Our policies need to show that we want to give our students every opportunity to succeed. There are many other policies that must be reviewed as well to ensure our students are receiving the best educational experience possible.

I feel that there are many social and economic pressures placed on children today, and we need to develop programs to touch each student and prepare educational programs for all of them. These programs will access each student and focus on areas of improvement. I also feel that technology will continue to shape our society and having access to other learning institutions through remote learning channels will be important.

Finally, it is important that we give our children the best possible educational experience we can to prepare them for their journey in life. I would like to have each student have such a great experience that they want to return to Grundy Center, raise a family and give back to the community that gave so much to them.

From The

Cheap Seats

As a reporter, once in awhile I come upon a story that I am not sure whether or not I should write. It’s not that the story isn’t good enough and not whether people would be interested in it. The question is whether the story should be told.

That’s the personal battle I fought last week while deciding whether or not to write the story on today’s front page about Grundy Center High School senior Hillary Samo’s battle with lymphoma. It’s a story that I knew our readers would be interested in … but I wasn’t sure whether I should intrude into what has to be an incredibly difficult time for the family.

Tragedy sells newspapers. It also drives ratings for TV news. And as I think back through my career, our papers with a lot of bad news sold

By JOHN JENSEN far more than those with good news in them. When a tornado struck Washington when I was working there we couldn’t print enough papers. After two press runs (our regular one plus an extra one), we still had people looking for papers. In Oelwein our editor had a dramatic picture of a tragic auto accident that led to a sellout. Here it was our paper the week after teacher and coach Clint McMartin’s passing that we couldn’t sell enough of.

Yet none of us want to sell papers that way. If I had my way I would never write about bad news. Unfortunately, bad news is news.

In the case of this story, it was one I didn’t expect to get. I went through a friend of the family that I was acquainted with asking if they would act as an intermediary. Much to my surprise, Hillary’s mother was willing to talk about this. And she gave be a great interview. I got a couple of other great interviews for the story, and I hope it came out to be something you enjoy reading.

Cancer is one of those things that has become far to intrusive into our world. I doubt there is a single person reading this who does not know somebody who has been stricken. Maybe it’s a friend … maybe it’s a loved one … maybe it’s you. I look at those I know best, and several are survivors.

My dad is a survivor … a couple of my friends are survivors ... countless people I’ve worked with are survivors ...

• • • Saturday was a great day to be a sports fan in Iowa ... that is unless you are a fan of one of the state’s two largest public university football teams. In that case, let’s just say you fear it could be a long season.

The beginning of any season can be the best time all year. Every team is undefeated before that first day and every fan has the hope that this will be the year when everything comes together. That is, until you face directional university.

Confused? Directional university is a way of referring to a school that features a direction before the name of the state they are in. A few directional universities are among the nation’s college football elite, notably Southern California (USC) and ... and ... and ... to be honest, nobody else comes to mind. My point is that when a Big 10 or Big 12 school loses to a team whose name starts with “Northern” it’s probably a bad thing.

At least the University of Iowa can say it’s loss to Northern Illinois was to a team that played in a BCS bowl last year ... one that has now won 12 straight regular-season games. And at least Iowa can say it had its chances to win. Iowa State cannot say either about its loss to UNI. The Cyclones never led a UNI team that is coming off its first losing season in years.

Before you UNI fans go crazy, don’t forget that I’m one of you. I was going crazy in the last few minutes of Saturday’s game. But that is a game that Iowa State has to win if it wants to play in a bowl.

Though I didn’t say this to anybody, a large part of me expected UNI to down Iowa State last Saturday. The Panthers were victims of a brutal early

schedule last year and had a freshman starting at quarterback. You knew this team was going to be better. And Iowa State graduated a lot of talented players.

For one week, UNI and seven other FCS teams that knocked off FBS squads last weekend get to be the toast of college football. Every “Best of” list from the weekend lists the FCS victories while most “Worst of” lists talk about the bigger teams’ losses.

One of UNI’s four victories over Iowa State came during my senior year at the school. We had a good team that year and knew we had a chance against a pretty bad Cyclone team. Of all the football games I have attended, that one might have been the most fun.

• • • As I write this, the United States is seriously considering getting involved in Syria’s civil war. To be honest, I’m surprised it’s taken this long. Doing so, however, would seem to go against a lot of what President Obama campaigned against just six short years ago. One of Obama’s promises during his initial campaign -- one that he has successfully completed -- was to end the Iraq war. Yet wouldn’t American involvement in Syria be the same type of thing?

I am having a hard time getting a grasp on why it is the United States’ responsibility to punish the Syrian government for its alleged use of sarin gas against rebel forces that are attempting to overthrow it. The United States has limited economic interests in the nation (though the country does export oil), and there has been no recent aggression toward any of our allies. Syria and Israel appear to be on a collision course toward war (as they usually are), but that aggression seems to be just as much on Israel’s shoulders as it is on Syria’s.

Chemical weapons are a little like nuclear weapons in that they harm a lot more civilians than conventional weapons do. And it has long been the United States’ position that anybody who uses this type of tactic will be punished.

I do not suggest that the U.S. take an isolationist position in the world, though I do suggest we pick our battles carefully. And I do hope the ones we pick are those that have a direct correlation to protecting American interests.

Something I do applaud, however, is President Obama’s decision to seek Congressional approval of U.S. action. President George W. Bush was widely criticized during his administration for taking military action without Congressional approval, and Obama’s decision, which came over objections of his foreign policy advisors, is likely to play well internationally. To a point I feel like Obama’s hands were tied when British Parliament voted not to get involved in the action.

Approval is also far from certain in our Congress. As of Monday, both Democrats and Republicans are predicting a close vote. It’s worth watching to see what happens if Congress turns down Obama’s request.

To the editor I am sure that over the past few weeks you have heard all of the propaganda being offered with respect to the new $7.6 million building project. But do you really understand what you are being asked to vote for? At the end of the day, the only question that really needs to be asked is, “Is this in the best interest of our students and their education?”

While the YMCA serves a reasonable purpose, the YMCA should not be confused, nor combined, with the education of our students. They are a stand alone entity and are not (nor should be) responsible for educating our children. This responsibility falls upon us as parents, the teachers, staff and administration of our school district. Directing those tax dollars, meant for education, towards the expansion of the YMCA and its programs is not in the best interest of our students and their education.

Two years ago we attended a parent meeting in which we were told that it was not feasible to add on to the current elementary building to keep fifth-graders in an elementary type setting. Now, mysteriously, it is feasible to add on to the elementary building to accommodate many of the YMCA programs that are currently housed in the old elementary building .

Library access for the current fifth- and sixth-graders has yet to be addressed. These students must share access in Mrs. Bangasser’s classroom because they do not have current access to the high school library. We know there is a direct correlation between reading scores and having access to a library.

Additionally, with a renewing school board and a job-searching superintendent, maybe a “no” vote on this project could give us the time required to reassess our academic and extra curricular activities and make a better educated vote next April. And rather than promoting projects only to those who favor them, we better inform the community and parents and ask the hard questions of our school board and administration in the time prior to such a critical vote.

Can the Upper Elementary not be offered as the facility for the YMCA? This seemed such the perfect option when we deleted the wrestling program and talked of expansion and revisions to this facility.

Surely these efforts could be revisited since this facility has a newer roof and has been deemed structurally sound. Does this not make more sense than adding huge sums of money for YMCA workout facilities not tied to academics?

In summary, are you really aware of what you are being asked to vote for on this project? Are you prepared as a parent to have your education dollars used to fund the YMCA and its’ programs? Are you as a homeowner/landowner prepared to be taxed additionally to fund the YMCA and its programs? And are all of us as community members prepared to accept the pork that has been included in this all inclusive initiative? Can we not just offer for a vote those projects tied to education, why is this an all or nothing vote inclusive of and for the YMCA? And remember, you as the taxpayer will still have no access to this new facility without your paid membership to the YMCA. Consider all the information being offered? Ask the hard questions ... do you really know what you are voting for? Is this in the best interest of our students and their education?

And most importantly, exercise your right and vote.

Ken and Nadene Van Hauen of Grundy County were inducted into the 2013 Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the 4-H Exhibits Building at the Iowa State Fair on Sunday, Aug. 18. Eightythree Iowa counties participated this year and selected 110 inductees for their outstanding service and dedication to 4-H. Inductees or their surviving family members were be presented a certificate by the Iowa 4-H Foundation as they were introduced on stage and honored at a reception following the ceremony.

Grundy county natives Ken and Nadene Van Hauen stayed local after college, teaching in a nearby school district before moving back to the family farm and began raising hogs. Ken became the 4-H swine superintendent for 19 years, while Nadene volunteered to help with the 4-H non-livestock judging by being a comment writer and most recently helping 4-Hers at the registration table. Ken has served on the Grundy County Extension Council and Nadene has been part of the Extension Council nominating committee and 4-H youth committee for several years. In 1998 Ken was awarded the Grundy County Honorary 4-H Award and Nadene was awarded the Grundy County Alumni Award in 2000.

By SUE ECKHOFF Grundy County Heritage Museum By 1863 things began to get dire for the confederacy. The combination of the Northern blockade of southern ports, the diversion of southern food supplies from the home front to the war front and the escalating inflation of currency began to negatively affect the Confederacy’s civilian population.

On April 2, 1863, a group of hungry and desperate women descended on the Confederate capitol in Richmond, demanding relief.

The Southern Bread riots were the events of civil unrest, which were triggered by the foraging armies both Union and Confederate, who ravaged crops and devoured draft animals. Also adding to the cause was the staggering inflation created by the Confederate government.

The drought of 1862 created poor harvests that did not yield enough in a time when food was already scarce. Wheat prices had tripled and butter and milk quadrupled. It was far more profitable for plantation owners to grow cotton and tobacco instead of food.

Food riots were occurring before the arrival of Union troops. The Confederate army was suffering the same food shortages and was taking stock for its own needs. The Confederacy currency was devalued, inflating the prices of goods.

Complaints did not get results from the Governor, so they took their complaints to the streets, sparking a spontaneous protest by a crowd that was estimated in the thousands. Shouts of “bread, bread,

bread” were heard as the mob vented its frustrations by smashing store windows and looting their contents.

Only by troops being deployed and authorities threatening to fire on the mob did the rioters disperse. More than sixty men and women were arrested and tried.

The bread riot in Richmond was not an isolated affair. People in the Confederate capital would read about similar revolts in Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, and Macon in Georgia, in Salisbury and High Point, North Carolina, and in Mobile, Alabama. Lawmakers tried to distinguish between “worthy poor” (those who did not participate in the riot) and “unworthy poor” (those who did), but the stark reality was that people could not afford to buy food because the prices in 1863 were higher than they were in 1861.

The situation only grew worse as the Confederate transportation network broke down and as Union armies occupied more and more of the Confederacy’s land.

During the Richmond Bread Riot, President Davis himself gave a speech, and even threw money from his pockets to the rioters asking them to disperse saying “you say you are hungry and have no money, here, this is all I have”. The mob stayed put, and only when Davis threatened to have militiamen fire on the mob did they disperse.

The riots of 1863 underscored how desperate the situation had become on the southern home front, no food, nowhere to go, and the situation only getting worse by the day.

Pope Francis In his first official meeting with journalists, the new pope gave some insight into why he chose the name Francis. After the twothirds vote was reached, a fellow cardinal from Brazil, Claudio Hummes, embraced him and said to him “Don’t forget about the poor.” This stuck with him, he said, and immediately made him think of St. Francis, who was devoted to the poor, renouncing his father’s considerable wealth as a young man and living essentially as a poor beggar.

St. Francis was known as “Il Poverello,” the little poor man. Pope Francis went on to say that as the vote-counting continued he thought about war, and St. Francis’s devotion to peace. The first line of the prayer of St. Francis says “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.” And finally, St. Francis was enamored of nature and saw God’s hand in all of physical creation. Pope Francis summarized his choice of names by saying “Francis of Assisi…the man of poverty, the man of peace, the man who loves and guards creation.” This was a good choice of names, and inspiring ideals for the man leading the world’s largest Christian denomination.

Bond issue

From page 1 elementary and into current buildings.

“At some point you need to look at, ‘Is that building something that’s going to meet our future needs, or is it going to be a Band-Aid?,’ Murra said. “Do you put a lot of money into a Band-Aid and is that going to serve the long-term problems of space that we’re needing, or does it make more sense to invest in something that’s going to be a more long-term fix?’”

The District’s initial plan called for a $6 million project that would provide space for areas of need that the upper elementary fills. Those areas include the early childhood education programs as well as gymnasium space and space that the school’s drama department uses for storage.

The program grew to its current $7.859 million level after a series of meetings with public focus groups this summer.

“What we heard from every single group is ‘We don’t think you’re thinking big enough; we don’t think you’re being proactive for the future’” Murra said.

She suggested that part of that concern stemmed from the elementary building itself, which is less than 20 years old. Sixteen years into the building’s life cycle the District was forced to move fifth-graders to the secondary building due to space issues.

“Every single group said we should put a little extra on what we’re looking at so there is some room for growth,” she said.

Murra indicated that the proposed new construction would include multi-purpose space that would allow the district to ebb and flow as its needs change. She said the new elementary addition could potentially accommodate a fourth section of students at each grade level in the unlikely event that were to happen.

Elementary construction would be on the building’s west side and include space for preschool, beforeand after-school programs as well as specials such as AEA and Talented and Gifted.

The secondary addition would see space for drama storage as well as a new band room adjacent to the auditorium.

“I believe in the original 1972 addition to the high school (that included the auditorium), they had been talking about a band room in the same spot, but because of finances that was one of the pieces that was cut from the project,” Murra said.

“Currently where the band room sits they to go up sand down about four flights of stairs to get their instruments to the auditorium for performances.

“It made sense, instead of just putting stage storage here and not attaching anything else and filling out that space, to relocate our band room down by our choir room and really have a nice performing arts piece,” she added.

The current band room would become multi-purpose space.

A new gymnasium would also be built on the south side of the high school. The facility would include a regulation-size basketball court and seating for 300 people (the same as can be seated in the elementary gym).

“In our district, because of the upper elementary, we currently have

three gyms and we need the three gyms,” Murra said. “The upper elementary gym is utilized quite often by a variety of groups, so not having a third gym would more than probably cause issues for many, many programs.”

Among those would be middle school and high school PE classes, which often use both the gyms at the high school and upper elementary.

The new gym would be just south of the high school gym and able to use the same locker rooms. Murra said the facility would be ideal for the School District’s middle school programs and could provide an emergency gym for the event of two high school events needing to take place at the same time. She said it would also be available for youth tournaments that currently are played in the elementary gym.

The one thing that could be lost if next week’s bond issue passes is the upper elementary building. Though the decision of whether to demolish the building would be the school board’s, Murra said that would likely be her recommendation.

“There’s really three logical options for that building. One is to demolish it, the second is to put money into it and bring it up to code and the third would be to abandon it,” she said. “To me (the third option) is not a healthy option and one that this community would not tolerate.”

Knaack said she has been asked several times why the school district does not attempt to sell the upper elementary.

“As a school board member I’m not interested in selling any real estate, especially from a logistical piece where it’s located in relation to our other buildings,” she said.

“When you sell it, you have no more control over who moves in there and how they maintain that building.”

One thing unlikely to happen is that the bond issue passes and the upper elementary is renovated.

“It doesn’t make sense to do construction and renovate that building,” Murra said.

If Tuesday’s bond issue fails, Knaack said the District will have to examine its options.

“Near-term there’s still going to be a rented boiler sitting in front of the Upper Elementary,” she said. “I think if it does fail, as a Board we have to answer the question, why.

Why did it fail? What could we have done differently? What is that feedback from the community on why it failed and, based on that, make our decisions.”

If the bond issue fails, the school district must wait at least six months before bringing it back to the voters.

Murra said the next possible time the issue could be brought to voters would be April, 2014.

From page 1 field at Spartan Stadium features a violet ribbon at the 25-yard line in her honor. A golf tournament planned for Sept. 29 at the Town and Country Golf Course to raise money for the family filled up in a matter of days. Hillary’s mother said the support for her daughter has been overwhelming.

“We’ve been very pleased with all the prayers, visitors, the calls, the texts, the cards and gifts … all the acts of kindness … everybody has been great,” she said. “Being part of a small town, you get to see how supportive people are. We very much appreciate it. Hillary is getting all the words of encouragement of staying strong.”

Schupbach, who survived his own cancer scare in 1997, said he would not expect anything less from Grundy Center.

“I was touched by the love of this community,” he said. “This is why this community is so near and dear to me. I felt this when I went through this; I’ve seen it with other people. It’s the beauty of living in Grundy Center.”

While Hillary is focused on beating her disease she also remains on track to graduate from high school

Candidates

from page 3 Board Member (4 years), Habitat for Humanity (9 years).

Why have you chosen to run for School Board? — I believe a School Board should include the various perspectives reflective of the community it serves. The School Board should ensure the community has a clear understanding of the Board’s decision making process. All decisions must benefit the students then the community. There must be focus groups, committees, and qualified presentations to ensure the community is informed in all school activities. I believe Board Members should be a channel of communication regarding concerns and benefits of teachers and parents to the administration. Our community must remember the school is a place for our children to learn, grow, and become highly productive, socially competent, able-bodied citizens.

What school-related issues are most important to you? I am most concerned in ensuring our Iowa Core is followed. Students must be able to graduate high school with the required 21st Century Skills needed to be productive citizens. The Special Education Programs in our school must be fulfilled according to the law. I would like to see student assessments continue to climb through a more rigorous curriculum. I believe classroom discipline should be modeled through teacher leadership and parental involvement.

In your opinion, how well is the Grundy Center Community School District currently meeting the needs of its students? I be-

next spring. She is able to attend class when she is not undergoing treatments, though her mom said she has only felt well enough to do so once since school started two weeks ago.

“It’s been rough for her to miss out on school,” Rhonda said. “The school has been great as far as working with us.”

High School Principal Steve VanderPol said the school made sure Hillary got her laptop and that many at the school, both faculty and students, have been sending her text messages.

“For something like this, that’s a great thing,” he said.

VanderPol said the Samos have met with him a couple of times to make sure she is getting what she needs from the school.

“We told them, ‘‘You take care of yourself first, we’ll take care of getting you through and making sure you get the information you need so you’re not behind or missing things you’ve got to have,’” he said.

“She’s taking lots of college classes and with the trimester schedule instead of semesters she can take the first term basically off, just a few classes, and then when

she gets a little stronger she can jump in and still get into her college classes second and third trimesters.

That’s the hope,” he said.

As with any difficult time, there have been ups and downs through the first few weeks of treatment for the 18-year-old.

“She had a reaction after her first chemo, so after that for the week after that she wasn’t feeling very good physically or mentally,” Freeman said. “Once she started feeling better she started going places and started just trying to live a normal life. She’s trying to keep her head up, but now losing her hair has been kind of hard. I know everybody around her just tries to tell her that it’s going to be OK.” Freeman said she and Hillary’s other close friends have been doing their best to keep her spirits up.

“Me and a few of our other friends talk to her almost every day and always ask her how she’s doing and always offer to come to her house. I go to her house at least a couple of times a week. Whatever we do, we always treat her like a normal person and not any different – she’s the same old Hillary.”

“It’s about Hillary getting stronger and Hillary getting better,” Van-

lieve the Grundy Center Community School District can improve in providing students curriculum with more rigor and relevance. Students should be able to graduate high school with more than a contextual understanding of subject matter. They need more real world experiences and an appropriate understanding of subject matter. Grundy Center Community School District must address all education needs from Special Education requirements and needs to our most advanced curriculum. Our students need and want to be propelled into the learning environment. We must remember the school is for our children of the community.

Where must the District improve to meet the needs of its students? The Grundy Center Community School District must gain control of the schools once again.

There has been a shift in the disciplining of students. Gone are the days of respecting authority figures in our community. Our children need to be taught what was once a requirement by previous generations.

We must take control of our schools and support our teachers to do so.

Students are there to learn and teachers are there to teach. Although, the teaching of respect should not only happen at school, it should happen at home and the community just the same.

The District must encourage school leaders to create a safe learning community. I’m in support of students wearing school uniforms.

School uniforms place the students on a level economic and social standing, they are convenient for parents, and provide the students a sense of common identity.

Providing discipline in the schools does not mean the District should be incorrigible toward students. There must be an environment of respect for students. Educators and school staff must build a professional learning environment by teaching and modeling these expectations.

The District must demand high expectations of staff and students. As mentioned before we must provide a rigorous and relevant curriculum to push our students to high achievement. We should not just give our children basic material but enhance the material given to provide the answer of why they are learning this material. We as a community must support and hold our educators accountable to provide this learning community. Students should not be treated according to their family’s social or economic status, but how they behave and perform in the classroom. This will provide the proper learning environment needed for students to excel.

derPol said. “She’ll be fine. It’s just a little stumble and she’ll be fine.”

“She will recover,” Schupbach said. “She will make it through this because she has support systems in place. Any person that’s involved in this in any way is helping Hillary get through this.”

Though the Sept. 29 golf tournament is already full with a waiting list, those wishing to pledge their support can come to a pork loin dinner, silent auction, raffle and bags tournament that will take place during the tournament. Those interested in participating in the bags tournament should contact Rob Onnen at 319-269-0023, or e-mail Robonnen@yahoo.com.

She is still able to play golf when she has the strength and would love to participate in the tournament, though she is unsure if she’ll be able to.

“We’re praying that she is able to be there at least part of the time,” Rhonda said.

Two injured in crash near Dike

DIKE — Two individuals were transported to the hospital following a one-vehicle crash two miles west of Dike on Highway 20 Sunday morning.

According to the Grundy County Sheriff's Department, a 2004 Jeep Wrangler driven by 31-year-old Michelle Busse of Clinton was westbound on Highway 20 when the driver fell asleep. The vehicle dropped onto the right shoulder, awakening Busse who corrected her steering and brought the vehicle back onto the roadway, only to lose control and enter the north ditch. The vehicle rolled several times, landing on the driver's side.

A passenger in the vehicle, 43-year-old Steve Armsted of Clinton, was ejected during the accident.

He was initially transported to Covenant Hospital in Waterloo and later transferred to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City.

Busse was also injured and transported to Covenant.

The accident remains under investigation. Assisting the Sheriff's Department at the scene were the Dike Fire and Ambulance and Stout Fire Department.

Recognition for an Outstanding Agriculture and Natural Resources Exhibit has been given to a Grundy County 4-H’er. Zac Osgood, Grundy Center, received the award, Soil, Water, Conservation Award, from Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS). The project was exhibited in the 4-H Exhibit Building at the Iowa State Fair along with over 300 other entries.

This division includes eight classes, including Animal and Veterinary Science; Crop Production; Environment and Sustainability; Horticulture; Outdoor Adventures; and Safety and Education in Shooting Sports. Over 5,000 members annually enroll in horticulture (the largest class).

“These 4-H’ers have shown a mastery of the subject matter,” said Mitchell Hoyer, program specialist for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development and 4-H Exhibits Building Superintendent.

“We are very proud of the accomplishments of these youths doing everything from growing a few peppers to turning your garden into a paying venture.”

Osgood also received a blue ribbon for his project.

“Participants in the 4-H Awardrobe Clothing Event are evaluated on their written and oral communication skills through a written report and one-onone interview with a judge. The youth are also evaluated on their clothing and fashion goals as well as their poise and confidence while modeling their garments,” said Cayla Taylor, Youth Program Coordinator with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development.”

Audience appeal earns local 4-H’ers awards

Grundy County 4-H’ers earned recognition this week as communicators at the Iowa State Fair 4-H’ers compete in three categories of oral communication -- educational presentations, working exhibits, extemporaneous speaking -- and one category of visual communication. In educational presentations, the 4-H’ers teach their audience about a topic they selected and researched. In working exhibits, the 4-H’ers invite passers-by to try a skill they demonstrate. In extemporaneous speaking, the 4-H’ers prepare a speech in 30 minutes and deliver it to an audience. In poster communication, the 4-H’er conveys a message visually.

“Almost any time fairgoers come into the 4-H Exhibits Building they can learn from a 4 H’er participating in a communications activity,” said Mitchell Hoyer, program specialist for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development and 4-H Exhibits Building Superintendent. “Effective communication means appealing to the interests of your audience.”

Grundy County 4-H’ers giving educational presentations follow: Deidra Green, Conrad, Grief the Journey, Merit “Many work situations require the ability to demonstrate a skill while instructing others who are learning the skill,” Hoyer said. “4-H’ers frequently practice this skill as they present information at club meetings and county fairs.”

CORN, LP switching from coal to natural gas

BY KIM DEMORY egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net After eight years of producing ethanol through the use of coal, CORN, LP of Goldď&#x192;&#x17E;eld has announced they will be switching to natural gas this week.

The change has been in the process for about a year, according to Brad Davis, Gold-Eagle Cooperative general manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty excited,â&#x20AC;? Davis said about the $6 million project.

The reason for the change, he said, is that since they went operational in 2005, the price of coal has almost doubled, mostly because of freight costs and the opposite is the case with natural gas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcome that kind of energy shift,â&#x20AC;? Davis said.

As a result, planning to switch to natural gas has been in the planning and preparation stages for over a year.

According to Davis, natural gas logistics are easier to manage since the product is transported through pipelines. In addition, new drilling / extraction technology for both crude and natural gas has made much more natural gas available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody would have anticipated that (eight years ago when they decided to use coal as energy),â&#x20AC;?

Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about supply and

demandâ&#x20AC;Śand the U.S. has become an exporter of natural gas.â&#x20AC;?

CORN, LP is now in the ď&#x192;&#x17E;nishing stages of the conversion to natural gas. A pipeline has been laid running from one mile east of the Holmes blacktop to the Goldď&#x192;&#x17E;eld ethanol plant, which means all that is left is completing the furnace transition work enabling the furnace to operate with natural gas, and a few other items like reprogramming of some computer software. Davis is anticipating the work to be done so it can be up and running on natural gas this week.

Davis said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for some great things to happen.

We have to learn how to adapt and make this newly designed energy system as efď&#x192;&#x17E;cient as it can be. We also anticipate (natural gas) will take fewer BTUs of energy to produce a gallon of ethanol which means the payback could be enhanced.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the $6 million dollar investment into the conversion, Davis said it will be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairly fast payback.â&#x20AC;? Last year may not mirror the future accurately, but when comparing energy costs, there was a $2.5 million disadvantage using coal as compared to natural gas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel this is a pretty big deal for the community,â&#x20AC;? Davis said of the project.

He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deny that the ethanol market has been pretty challenging the last couple of years due to the diminished use of gasoline in the U.S. According to Davis, reports show that 10 years ago, when plans began for the ethanol plant in Goldď&#x192;&#x17E;eld, gas usage was at 142 billion gallons in the United Sates.

Now, it is a little over 130 billion gallons. The prediction is for usage to drop even more.

However, Davis is optimistic, saying that since the start of 2013, ethanol production has been more in line with ethanol demand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ethanol has saved the consumer a tremendous amount of moneyâ&#x20AC;Śand it will continue to play an important role,â&#x20AC;? Davis said.

Should there be an unforeseen economic advantage by switching back to coal in the future, CORN, LP will be able to switch back easily and without extraordinary costs. Nearly all of the coal equipment will be left in place, so all that would be needed is a couple weeks to reconnect all of the disconnected equipment in and around the furnace as well as changes to the software. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe this (switch to natural gas) is going to be a good thing,â&#x20AC;?

Davis said.

AGWSR trounces BCLUW on strength of powerful rushing attack

By ROB MAHARRY Mid-America Publishing ACKLEY — Darrick Kyle-Murphy and Clay Bohner ran wild for AGWSR in a 41-0 win over BCLUW on Friday night in Ackley.

The senior running backs combined for 240 yards rushing and a score while quarterback Cody Williams added 56 yards on the ground and two rushing touchdowns. Williams threw the ball just once in the entire game but connected on a 40 yard touchdown pass to Austin Heitland.

BCLUW took several of their drives deep into Cougar territory but were sunk by untimely turnovers and an inability to convert third and fourth downs. After running the ball with great success in the season opener against East Marshall, the Comet offense was unable to establish the same rhythm on Friday night.

Clarke Macy led the team with 36 yards on 10 carries, and Tyler Lutes added 19 yards on six attempts.

The scoring began in the first quarter when Williams took off on an option run for a 16-yard Cougar touchdown. BCLUW quarterback Conner Ubben threw a pair of first down passes to Ty Runge and Taylor Sams, respectively, but the AGWSR defense forced a punt near midfield on the ensuing Comet drive. The Cougars led 7-0 after the first quarter.

Early in the second, Williams ran for another touchdown to give AGWSR a 14-0 lead. What looked like a promising drive for the Comets was suddenly interrupted when Heitland leapt to intercept a Ubben pass along the sideline in BCLUW territory near midfield. AGWSR wasted little time scoring after the turnover, blowing the game open with a five yard Clay Meinders touchdown run.

Despite another pair of first down throws from Ubben to Sams, the Comets were stalled once again on offense, and it cost them. Williams threw up a bomb to Heitland in the waning moments of the first half, and the 6’4” senior took it to the house for a 40 yard score. A missed extra point made the score 27-0 in favor of the Cougars at halftime.

In the third quarter, the Cougars struck early with a nine-yard touchdown run from Kyle-Murphy. Sophomore Levi Stockdale then punched in 10 yard rushing score to give AGWSR an insurmountable 41-0 lead.

BCLUW’s most promising drive of the night came in the middle of the third quarter, when a Sams catch and a Lutes run helped move the Comets deep into AGWSR territory. Ubben hit Lane Caster on a fourth down crossing route to keep the drive alive, and BCLUW marched all the way down to the Cougars’ four yard line.

It was there that Macy took a pitch to the right and fumbled the ball after a

hard hit, giving the ball back to AGWSR on a heartbreaking turnover.

Neither team managed to score in the fourth quarter.

AGWSR controlled the line of scrimmage with its power run offense throughout the night; the Cougars punted only once and totaled a staggering 419 yards on the ground.

In contrast, the Comets mustered only 185 yards of total offense.

“We weren’t good at holding our gaps,” BCLUW coach Jess Vanderweerdt said.

Ubben completed seven of his 16 passes for 103 yards and an interception. Sams caught four balls for 66 yards, and Caster added a pair of catches for 28 yards. Runge made one grab for nine yards.

Defensively, Caster, Lutes and Nolan Emley led the Comets with 10 tackles apiece. Sams and Mitch Miller each added nine, and Runge, Blake Cooper and Luke Asche notched eight tackles each.

Stockdale led the Cougars with seven tackles, and Meinders and Dillin Hofmeister added six tackles each. Heitland recorded five tackles, a fumble recovery and an interception in the game, and Evan Janssen also recovered a fumble.

“We are what we are,” AGWSR coach Skip Eckhardt said about his team’s style. “We’re not fancy, and we’re not speedsters.”

By JOHN JENSEN The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER – Ben Cuvelier rushed for three touchdowns in his debut as Dike-New Hartford's featured running back, lifting the Wolverines to a 50-0 victory over a shorthanded Grundy Center team.

The Wolverines, who have been ranked as high as No. 2 in Class 1A preseason rankings, dominated a Spartan team that was playing without its two-time all-state lineman and its starting quarterback. The Spartans stopped D-NH on two of its first four possessions before the Wolverines scored the final five times they had the ball.

“We had a slow start, which I think is typical for a first game especially when we're playing a team that's got a game under its belt, but once we corrected a few things we got better as the night went on,” Dike-New Hartford coach Don Betts said. “It wasn't about effort early on. There were corrections we needed to get up to game speed, and once we did we played real well.”

Grundy Center coach Brent Thoren said he knew this game could be a major challenge for his young team, but that he was proud of the way it hung in there against a Wolverine squad that was bigger and more experienced.

“We kept fighting, we just ran out of gas,” he said. “Give their kids credit. They had a lot of guys they could throw at us. We had a lot of guys play a lot of snaps tonight, and that's just the reality of a Class A football team.

We could have done a lot of things better in terms of tackling, but they have nice players and they made a lot of plays tonight.”

Cuvelier finished with 112 yards for the Wolverines while senior fullback Levi Lynch ran for 70 yards and a pair of scores. Sophomore fullback Calvin Wildeboer added 50 yards and junior fullback Connor Ragsdale 46.

Senior quarterback Carson Parker completed 7-of-10 passes for 67 yards and was not intercepted.

“We have a lot of playmakers and we can do a lot of things with those kids,” Betts said. “We probably are a little more diverse than we were last year.”

Grundy Center's biggest weapon was senior running back Bryce Moats, who finished with 46 yards on eight carries. No other Spartan rushed for more than 14 yards. Sophomore Austin Burroughs made the start at quarterback in place of Brock Rohler and officially attempted just one pass,

(John Jensen/The Grundy Register photo) which was intercepted. He had a completion wiped out early in the game by a penalty, but otherwise struggled to find time to throw, getting sacked three times.

Thoren said Rohler's injury is not serious and that he will most likely play Friday against South Hardin. He was available to kick and played on the Spartan kickoff team.

“He could have gone tonight, but he didn't take all the reps (in practice) and it's better for us in the long run that he's healthy,” Thoren said.

Despite the final score, the Spartan defense looked solid at times, particularly early in the game. Nick Mauer led the defense with 12 total tackles (solos plus assists) while Sam Thompson finished with 11 tackles and Ethan Hogle had seven. Lane Bangasser had a team-high three solo stops.

“Our defense has really made some strides, especially when Brady (Hook) is out there,” Thoren said.

“We had some new guys that are really playing for the first time in a long time, so it's very encouraging to see those guys getting better each week.

They made some nice plays.”

Dike-New Hartford's defense asserted itself on the night's first series, holding Grundy Center to negative yardage on two of its first three plays.

The Wolverine offense responded with a seven-play scoring drive highlighted by Lynch's two-yard fourthdown conversion run from the Spartan 19. Two plays later Cuvelier burst into the end zone from 11 yards out and Byron Fritch kicked the point af-

ter.

The Wolverines missed a field goal attempt on their next possession but struck pay dirt on a single play two minutes later. Gabe Eiklenborg put D-NH in strong field position with a 16-yard punt return before Lynch burst through the Spartan defense for a 37-yard scoring run on the Wolverines first offensive play.

Spartan turnovers set up DikeNew Hartford's next two scores, a two-yard Lynch run and a 16-yard Cuvelier scamper.

“We talk about that all the time – when the other team makes a mistake we've got to capitalize,” Betts said.

“I thought our kids did a nice job of capitalizing on those and that really broke the game open.”

Grundy Center's best drive of the night came late in the first half, with a Moats 36-yard run taking the Spartans to the Wolverine 28. GC drove as deep as the 22 before a pair of defensive stops and a fumble in the backfield stopped the Spartans.

D-NH scored each of the three times it had the ball in the second half, including on a 15-yard end around by reserve receiver Connor Neuroth and on a short scoring run by reserve tailback Blaine Becker.

Clark’s 150-yard effort lifts Rebels

By PATTI RUST Sports Correspondent GLADBROOK – GladbrookReinbeck Rebels accumulated 372 yards of total offense and held the line on defense in their 34-6 win on their home field against the Hudson Pirates last Friday night.

“We were very pleased with the effort of all of our kids,” Rebel head coach John Olson said. “They played extremely hard and it benefited us practicing through the heat all week.”

The Rebels used both ground and air tactics on the offensive side of the ball to score consistently throughout the first three quarters, while the defense held the Pirates to a single score late in the game.

Chase Clark sparked the Rebel offense with two touchdown runs in the first half. After a Pete Meyers fumble recovery just over a minute into the game, Clark ran the ball for four straight plays ending with a 3-yard touchdown run for the first score of the game.

The Rebels opened the second quarter with an offensive series that was capped off by another touchdown run by Clark, this time for the final yard into the end zone. Before the half ended, Camden Kickbush connected with Josh Cooley on a 37-yard touchdown pass that would make it 20-0 in favor of the Rebels at the halfway mark.

Kickbush found Colton Dinsdale in the third quarter for a 26-yard scoring pass, and Logan Flamme’s fumble recovery set up a Rebel drive that saw Eric Stoakes run the ball a final two yards for the last Rebel

score of the night toward the end of the third.

Hudson’s touchdown came from a 94-yard run by Cameron Wright with 6:44 left in the game.

Clark ran for 156 yards in 23 carries on the night, Kickbush ran for 50 yards, and Stoakes for 43. Kickbush completed 5-of-10 passes good for 100 yards. Wyatt Swanson made good on 3-of-4 PATs. “Our kids were mentally tough and we played very physical,” Coach Olson said. “We started and finished the game very strong and were very happy to get all our non-starters a lot of playing time along with everyone getting to play.”

The Rebels face the Dike-New Hartford Wolverines at Dike this Friday night, Sept. 6.

“We have a very tough team ahead in D-NH before we look forward to district competition,” Olson said.
