Serving Grundy County since 1928 www.TheGrundyRegister.com Pioneer Enterprise
BY: ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER- Lifelong farmer David Strickler has officially filed to run for the supervisor seat in district one as an independent, and in an interview with The Grundy Register, he made no bones about why he’s challenging incumbent Jim Ross: Strickler is opposed to any further wind energy projects in Grundy County. District one comprises the southwest corner of the county, including Beaman, Conrad and the Ivester area, where the supervisors gave the go ahead for the second wind farm project in the last three years with a unanimous vote in April. Strickler officially declared his candidacy on August 28 after securing the 18 signatures necessary to get on the ballot by petition. The independent candidate farms west of Grundy Center with his two sons, and he said that while he isn’t opposed to the idea of wind energy, he doesn’t believe that Grundy County’s fertile soils are the right place for turbines. According to a study released by the Iowa State Extension office, Grundy County has the highest Corn Suitability Rating (CSR) in the state at 84.7 (the next highest is Mitchell County at 77.7). “ I t ’s s o m e o f t h e b e s t production ground in the world. If you take a look at Iowa as a whole, you wouldn’t put windmills in Grundy County, and if you look at the United States as a whole, you might not even put windmills in Iowa,” Strickler said. “I’m not against wind energy; I just think there are better places to put windmills.” He went on to argue that while he believes in landowner’s rights, the turbines could have adverse affects on the property values of neighbors and negatively impact their quality of life. Strickler added that he and Ross, the Republican incumbent first elected in 2004, actually see eye to eye on most other issues but disagree about the county’s positions on wind energy conversion. Ross abstained from voting on the Ivester Wind Farm because he is planning to put turbines on his land and did not want to create a conflict of interest. “What has been done has been done. We can’t change that, but we need to move forward and go from here,” Strickler said. If elected, Strickler would support an ordinance change like the one recently rejected by the

Conrad gears up for “Mystery at Wolf Creek” premiere By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register CONRAD- It’s a wrap: after months of auditions, filming, editing and preparations, “Mystery at Wolf Creek”—a My Town Pictures production that was filmed in Conrad in conjunction with the 25-year anniversary of its Main Street Iowa designation—will be shown to the public for the first time on Saturday afternoon after a red carpet introduction for the stars of the movie. Four of the actors and Conrad Chamber/ Main Street Director Darla Ubben caught up with The Grundy Register last week to discuss the making of the film, the plot and what it’s like to become a movie star. Heath Rhinehart stars in “Mystery at Wolf Creek” as Peter Lansing, a washed up fiction writer from Chicago who embarks on a retreat to his agent Lazlo’s (Eugene Ubben’s) hometown of Conrad in search of motivation and rejuvenation. Joining them are their wives (played by Gina Dinsmore and Amanda West), and when Mr. Lansing fabricates the story of a murder that “allegedly” happened in Conrad long ago to help him with an idea for his new book, chaos and hilarity ensue as the writ-

Thompson said. “If nothing else, he’ll get a great book out of it.” Thompson, who hails from Wisconsin, is no stranger to this area: last year, he filmed “Promise Me” in Grundy Center, and he has also
made movies in New Providence and Eldora throughout his 15-year career. Over 90 people auditioned for See Conrad page 4
Local author shares story of abuse, forgiveness By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER – It took her a long time, but decades later at the age of 72, Jean Baldwin says she is finally comfortable sharing her story with others. Jean, who was one of seven children of Margaret Otto, grew up in nearby Eldora in the 1950’s. At a very young age, the children were deserted by their father. Not long after, they began to witness their mother’s descent into cruelty and abuse. Some of Jean’s earliest memories, starting at the age of five, are of her and her six siblings being subjected to physical, mental and emotional abuse by their mother. That abuse would continue on through the rest of their lives, and the effects of that abuse would prove to live on long after their mother was gone. “She was very cruel to us, extremely cruel to my younger brothers and sisters,” Jean said of her mother. In the book that she wrote to tell her story, titled “Why, Mama?” Jean describes scenes from her childhood; memories of her mother pushing her sister down the stairs, kicking and beating all of her children, threatening, humiliating and degrading each of them, and refusing to show them an ounce of the love and care that a
mother should show her children. “I tried to go through life without being noticed. I felt like if I stayed quiet and out of the way my mother would forget I was there,” she said. “So I would hide while I watched her beat the other children. I knew I had to stay very quiet or I’d be in there getting beat, too.” In her book, Jean talks about all the unanswered questions she still has for her mother, such as: Why? “Why did you resent us?” or What? “What did we do to deserve this?” or How? “Do you know how deeply you hurt us?” Jean and her siblings went through their life of abuse not knowing who to talk to, not knowing how to get help. “Back in those days when I was young, you didn’t have many options, anyone to turn to,” she said. “People knew about child abuse, but it was always hushed up. Even in high school, we knew the principal probably knew what us kids were going through, but you couldn’t talk about it. You just kept See author page 3
Jean Baldwin, formerly of Grundy Center, will be holding a book signing for her first book, “Why, Mama?" at the Kling Memorial Library on Thursday, September 22, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Conrad council discusses fire station, downtown zoning By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register CONRAD- During its regular meeting last Thursday night, the Conrad city council received an update on the fire station project and discussed the potential of adding an ordinance that would not allow apartments in the lower levels of buildings on Main Street. According to the council, the fire station is coming along nicely and should be finished by the October 31 deadline. The city spent $1,000 to move dirt from the excavation across the street to fill in soil, and a pay request for $172,900 from Brycon, LLC, was approved unanimously. Near the end of the meeting, city clerk Denise Hoy led a discussion about downtown zoning, as the city does not currently have any rules in regards to what buildings in the business district can be used for. Council members agreed that they did not want to allow apartments on the lower level and potentially invite tenants
Work is in progress on the new fire station in Conrad, where beams have gone up, and the building is beginning to take shape. City officials hope the project will be finished by the end of October.

Main Street Grundy Center talks façade project
By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER – A recent survey of Grundy Center’s Main Street district has evaluated the condition of downtown building façades, and opened up discussion on potential funding sources that could help the district revitalize historic building-fronts. The survey, which was commissioned by Main Street Grundy Center and implemented by AHTS Architects out of Waterloo, was aimed at identifying the condition of the individual buildings in Grundy Center’s Main Street historic Main Street district, while giving a closer look at the district itself in order to identify possible funding opportunities. This was done through a survey of each building’s façade (the front of the building on the outside) and discussions with building owners. Each building was then given a classification of ‘poor,’ ‘fair,’ ‘good,’ or ‘borderline,’ based on criteria such as the condition of the masonry, decorative accents, metalwork, windows, awnings, paint, foundation and other factors affecting the building’s façade. A breakdown of the survey reports that of the 35 buildings in the Main Street Historic District that were included in the survey, 39 percent of them are in ‘good’ condition, 39 percent are in ‘fair’ condition, 14 percent are in ‘poor’ condition and six percent are in ‘borderline’ condition. Three percent were omitted from the survey. Andrew Bell of AHTS Architects, who led the downtown façade survey, said that the classifications of ‘poor’ or ‘fair’ or ‘good’ are in no way reflective of building owners and the maintenance of the building, but simply how true the building is to it’s original, historic, state. He added that the buildings were not classified based on what’s inside the building, or whether or not the building looks ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ “[The classification] isn’t based on whether the building itself or the material looks good, it’s about whether or not the building and materials are true to their original condition,” Bell said. John Schuller, president of Main Street Grundy Center, noted that this survey was the first step in the process of a possible downtown façade project. By finding out any possible points of improvement in each building, and measuring the interest of the building owner in having these improvements done, MSGC and the city of Grundy Center can take steps towards finding possible funding sources to make the project happen. “Now our question really is: ‘Where do we go from here?’” Schuller said. He noted that it’s vital for the city to determine early on whether or not business owners are interested in participating in a façade revitalization project. If the city has enough interested business owners, they could start to pursue funding. One funding source that Schuller discussed with the council was the CDBG Downtown Revitalization Fund, a program that provides grants to communities for a variety of projects that contribute to comprehensive revitalization in historic city centers. In the past, the program has funded façade improvements to privately owned businesses. The GDBG Fund is a 50/50 matching grant, with a cap of $500,000, meaning that the most the fund will pay is $500,000 of the project as long as the city and business owners come up with the other $500,000, for a total of $1 million.

From page 1 quiet.” “People had no idea, not even my classmates, that as children we were suffering at the hands of our mother’s abuse,” Jean recalled. “She left some really bad marks on my younger brothers and sisters,” she said. “At 35, my youngest brother [Joey] committed suicide. I think finally he couldn’t take it anymore. He tried to make her face what she did to him and she wouldn’t.” In her book, Jean remembers the day that her sister broke the news to the family that Joey was dead, having put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Her mother’s first reaction was not for her son, but for herself: “Why did he do this? Oh my God! What’s the gossip in town going to do to me now?” For the next few days, Jean remembers her mother calling the remaining children, asking if they had heard any gossip against her, even suggesting that they lie to people who ask what happened, and say that he accidentally shot himself. Jean said that each of her siblings coped differently with their abuse. While Joey ended his life, her other brother turned to drugs, which he still struggles with to this day. For her part, Jean says she turned to religion, and found her savior in God. “Early on, I found Jesus as my friend. In high school, that was kind of my salvation. I knew I could talk to God, and at night I would always talk to Him about things,” she said. “What I suffered through, He allowed me to have a compassionate and forgiving heart. I have relied on that all my life, and I think that’s what got me through. I never had to go to therapy, and I’m very well adjusted, and I think it’s because of my faith and being able to forgive where some of the others couldn’t. I really think that’s how I survived.” Shortly after high school, Jean managed to escape from her mother when she married Craig Baldwin and moved to Grundy Center with

From page 1 the film, and the whole thing was recorded over two weekends in April. For the actors, all of whom were newcomers to the world of professional film, it was a crash course in how much work actually goes into making a movie. “It took a little while to do a few scenes. Some were painfully long,” Mrs. Ubben said. “I felt like one of the biggest challenges for these guys might have been might have been memorizing so many lines in such a short amount of time and jumping from scene to scene.” The actors would often film the same scene from multiple angles so that Thompson had plenty of material to choose from, and the actors remarked that the director was very open about allowing improvisation and deviation from the original script if it worked within the context of the movie. “Mystery at Wolf Creek” incorporates several staples of the community, including the body of water after which the film is named, That Place Steakhouse and the recently renovated downtown area. Patrons can also look forward to a surprise appearance from one of Conrad’s most beloved residents, 102-year-old Bob Prosser. “He’s got one scene, which he does perfectly, and he’s going to steal the whole show,” Thompson said. “It’s one of the reasons we do movies like this—people like him.” Though there were definitely challenges along the way, the actors

From page 1 supervisors, which would have effectively banned any future wind projects and jeopardized the economic viability of the Ivester Wind Farm because the developer, EDF Renewable Energy, still needs to secure additional parcels for rezoning. During the interview, Strickler did not elaborate on any other issues that he would like to address if he were to be elected, stressing the importance of conserving the county’s natural resources. He noted that whether he wins or loses, his candidacy would give the voters of
him. After raising their five children here, the two moved to Aurora, Colorado. It was there that Jean first found her voice when she joined a writer’s group, and began to work on her book. Out of respect for her siblings, Jean held off on publishing her book and sharing her story. Now that her sisters, her brother Joey, and her mother have all passed away, she felt that it was finally time to share her story in the hopes that it could inspire others facing abuse to have the courage to find a way out. “It took me many, many, years, but I finally wrote it,” she said. “It’s just a story in needed to write, not only to find forgiveness in myself for my mother, but to inspire others. There are so many children, and even adults, who’ve also suffered through many years of abuse, and didn’t know who to turn to or who to talk to.” “I think my whole purpose of writing this book was to let people, especially children, know that they need to find someone to talk to, and to find forgiveness,” she said. “You need to forgive the person who did this to you, otherwise you cant forgive yourself, and in my opinion you cant lead a very happy life if you cant find forgiveness.” Jean said that in her book, she talks about different resources that abuse victims can access. She said that if her book might help at least one other person that’s going through what she went through, then she is happy with that. Jean’s book, “Why, Mama?” is for sale on Amazon.com, and will be available for purchase at her book signing event in Grundy Center later this month, on Thursday, September 22, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Kling Memorial Library. If you or someone you know is a victim of abuse, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800799-SAFE (7233), to get a referral to a local domestic violence agency that can find you a program that provides counseling and other support.
all reflected fondly on the process, and though they haven’t seen the finished product yet, they’re anxious to watch it on Saturday. “I think the most fun part was getting the hang of it and getting to do (the scenes)—and the outtakes,” Rhinehart said. The celebration of the premiere will begin at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday when tickets go on sale at the high school, and the stars will arrive for a red carpet ceremony complete with media interviews and paparazzi at 4:00. Chamber/Main Street will present a short piece on the 25th anniversary of Conrad’s Main Street designation, and the premiere will begin at 4:45 p.m. After the premiere, a “Meet the Stars” event will be held with a photo signing and silent auction, and another showing will begin at 8:30. The film will also be shown at 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. Sunday, and all showings will be held in the high school auditorium. Both Thompson and Ubben are hopeful that it will show off the progress made in Conrad over the last few years while honoring the traditions of the community that dates back to the 19th century. “A lot of towns have a great history, but it doesn’t always match what you see. Conrad has gone the extra mile to make sure that what you see matches what you hear,” Thompson said. “We had good talented people (in this movie), and it’s another example of their community spirit.”

The election will be held on Tuesday, November 8. Fellow supervisors Chuck Bakker of district three and Barb Smith of district five are also up for re-election, but no candidates have filed the necessary paperwork to challenge either of them thus far.

County embargoes more bridges By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER – The condition of Grundy County’s bridges continue to be an issue, and just last week, the county embargoed eight more bridges. The embargoes come after two bridges were closed back in August due to structural deficiencies. One of those bridges is closed permanently, and the other bridge is on the schedule to be repaired this fall. Of the eight newly embargoed bridges, two are scheduled for repair this fall, and the other six are going to be put on the county’s multi-year plan for repair. County Engineer Gary Mauer estimated that of the two newly embargoed bridges set to be repaired this fall, it will cost somewhere between $30,000 and $35,000 to repair both. The eight newly embargoed bridges include: No. C-4, No. C-11, No. B-10, No. N-9, No. N-12, No. M-17, No. L-19, and No. M-5. Many of these bridges were built
in the 1950’s, and since then, the wood substructure has begun to rot, leading to structural deficiencies. According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, many of the bridges in Iowa that are over 50 years old were designed for lower traffic volumes, smaller vehicles, and lighter loads than are common today. Because of this, more than 20 percent of Iowa’s county bridges are classified as deficient and need to be rehabilitated or replaced. Many of these bridges are deficient because their load-carrying capacity is inadequate for today’s traffic. In March of 2015, the DOT released statistics that highlight the issue of aging bridges in rural Iowa; as of then, there were 19,008 bridges on county roads in Iowa, and 4,787 of those bridges were embargoed at that time. Since then, the number has likely risen significantly. According to Mauer, there is now a total of 47 bridges in Grundy County that have been embargoed.

To celebrate 104th birthday
Pearl Ralston will be celebrating her 104th birthday on Sept. 26. Greetings can be sent to 511 East Center St., Conrad, Iowa 50621.
Council
From page 1 said that the city could either opt to perform spot repairs for $30,000 to $50,000 or replace the whole thing for approximately $87,000. Hoy agreed to check on whether the city would need to competitively bid the process or just get quotes and choose a contractor, and the issue will be discussed further at a later date. Carol Altenhein spoke about the Freedom Rock project and informed the council that a dedication will be held on October 1 at 10:00 a.m. Visitors have come from as far as other states to view the rock, and Conrad Hardware donated lights to keep the rock visible at night. Altenhein added that maintenance will probably be necessary about once a year to keep the rock and surrounding area in prime condition. The council briefly discussed a proposed parking ordinance but concluded that because it would be hard to enforce, it was not worth writing new rules. “There are bigger issues for the sheriff’s department than parking,” Councilman Todd Schnathorst said. “We all live in a small town for a reason, and Conrad is very adapting.” IN OTHER BUSINESS, the council: • Awarded a contract for the city examination to Dennis Donovan, PC, at a cost of $2,500. • Set the citywide trick or treat date for Monday, October 31, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Memory Lane
A Look back through The Grundy Register Compiled by Michaela Kendall
10 Years Ago This Week - 2006 The Grundy Center municipal swim pool closed its doors for the last time in August. Repairs to the facility are too costly. The pool won’t open next season. That’s what members of the city’s public works committee are saying in a recommendation to the full Grundy Center City Council. However, city leaders say they want to hear the thoughts of their constituents on the issue. The public is urged to attend a meeting of the city council on Monday, Oct. 2, at City Hall when the council is expected to vote on permanently closing the facility. Members of the public works committee include Mayor Jack Stumberg, Councilmen Paul Sealman and Mike Oglesby, along with Public Works Director Jim Copeman. Building a new swimming pool is on the minds of a group of community residents who has been working behind the scenes in getting a new facility on the ballot for voters. That is after two votes on a proposed new pool have been unsuccessful. The ballot referendum was put to voters twice, the first time in April of 2005 and the second time last May. Each time it failed to receive the 60 percent necessary for approval. The new pool’s price tag in those instances was between $2.2 million and $2.5 million. The local author who recently had her first novel published will hold a book signing event in Grundy Center on Saturday. Wendy Powers, Holland, will be signing her book “Taking Out the Trash” at Park Place Restaurant Saturday, Sept. 16. The signing wilt be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. ‘Taking Out The Trash” is the story of a grandmother in her early 50s who has had enough of those who shamelessly harm and murder others, according to the public relations department for the book publisher, PublishAmerica of Frederick, MD. On a journey for justice, Grandma begins a cross country trek to rid the world of trash, one evil place at a time. Powers will sign-books for those who have already purchased copies of the novel. A supply of books will also be available at the book signing event. At the Center Theatre … “Barnyard” and “Invincible.” 25 Years Ago This Week - 1991 Fire of unknown origin at the Ed Noteboom residence east of Grundy Center claimed three buildings Thursday. The fire was first reported at 5:35 p.m. when a blaze started in a machine shed which was being torn down. The fire quickly spread to a granary used primarily for storage. Firefighters were on the scene until 9 p.m. At midnight, Noteboom checked the site, but was awakened at 1 a.m. by a fire in the barn. Firefighters returned to the scene, working to prevent the fire from spreading further. The barn housed approximately 400 baby pigs and 20 sows, 2,000 bales of straw, and farrowing equipment. Firefighters from Grundy Center, Reinbeck, Holland and Dike and worked together to keep the fire from spreading any further. The Grundy County Rural Electric Cooperative held its 55th annual meeting on Wednesday evening, September 4, at the Grundy Center High School auditorium. Manager Larry Marske welcomed the 450 members attending. In his talk, Marske updated members on the advances the company has made during the year and the programs conducted. President Mervin Van Deest of Dike conducted the business meeting at which two directors were elected to three-year terms. Incumbents Donald Arends, Ackley, and Roger Hook, Grundy Center, were re-elected. Grundy market prices as of Tuesday, Sept. 10, 1991: Corn, $2.22; beans, $5.47; Butchers, $46. Red potatoes … 89 cents per lb.
Ribeye steaks … $4.49 per lb. 50 Years Ago This Week - 1966 A combination of man and nature have teamed up this summer to produce a record-breaking corn crop in Grundy County for the fourth consecutive year. The Grundy Register’s annual fall crop forecast—based in observations by farmers themselves plus seed and grain dealers as well as other experts in the field—indicates that the 1966 county corn crop will shape up like this: YIELD—96 bushels to the acre; ACRES—Six percent increase in the total acres planted to corn in the county this year; and PRODUCTION— The predicted total is 12,960,000 bushels, a record, and the first 12 million bushel corn crop in the county’s history. Talking to a crowd of more than 1500 Grundy County REC members at the annual meeting of the organization at the Grundy Center Community School Wednesday evening, Manager R. F Cramer brought out the changes in rural life produced because of electrical service being available on their farms during the past 30 years. The REC senior manager pointed out that not only has electricity made available many labor saving and time saving machines and appliances on the farms, but it is practically the only commodity that we buy today which HASN’T risen in price during the last 15 years. In addition, he said that we should remember that cooperative members are receiving more services today than ever before. Job opening for Packinghouse Workers: minimum $2.68 per hour, plus night bonus. Hours approximately 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. 75 Years Ago This Week - 1941 The livestock sale at the fairgrounds Saturday forenoon brought $27,749.01, and the total amount was distributed among 4-H club boys in Grundy county who raised the stock that was sold during the past year. It was expected that 240 head of baby beeves would be offered at the sale. Some of the beeves exhibited at the fair were held back to show later at the Ackley fair, which reduced the number sold to 228. Had the 240 been sold, the proceeds of the sale would have reached approximately $30,000, which was the estimate that had been made for it Mowing weeds along the fence by the highway on the Hasbrouck farm directly east of Grundy Center turned out to be a good paying job for Charley Rhoads a short time ago. He had his car parked by the side of the road and as he was getting into the car to go home he saw a roll that looked like currency in the grass by the side of the road gutter. It was a small wad of bills with a rubber band around them. There was a $5.00 bill on the outside and four $1 bills within. The bills had evidently been lying out in the open for months, as they were weather worn and had to be handled with care. One of the banks sent the bills to the federal reserve bank for redemption. This bank sent them to the U.S. Treasury where new bills will be issued for the ones that were found. No one knows how the bills got where they were found, nor who put them there. The school at Ivester, one of the oldest schools in the county, is taking a rest this year and will remain closed. The boys and girls of the district who wish to go to school are taken to the consolidated school at Whitten. A bus takes the pupils to and from school. There were only 6 pupils who expected to attend school in this district this year. The tuition In the Whitten school and the transportation charge for the six pupils will be about $60 a month. It would cost $100 a month to keep the Ivester school open. Under the plan the taxpayers of the district save $380 a year and the school children of the district are given the advantage of a graded school. “Moon over Miami” starts its engagement on Wednesday for two days at the Center Theatre at a bargain price of 16 cents per ticket.
The Alternative.... The real culprit By Fritz Groszkruger
Author's grandson, Tate Williams, ‘digging in’ to the haypile event. ,Photo courtesy B J Williams
By Kevin Williams Grundy County Conservation Director Another Pioneer Craft Fair has come and gone. And this year’s weather further reinforced my claim that the second Sunday of September is the best day of the month or year for that matter to schedule an outside event. Since 1980 when the event started, there have been only two rainy days according to my recollections – and I have been around for all of them. One of those the rain cleared by 11AM and things went off pretty much without a hitch. The second, however continued to rain off and on throughout the day forcing everything inside. The show must gone was the battle cry and we even did the cemetery walk that was scheduled inside the Ag Hall rather than the cemetery on the nearby hill. Enough reminiscing. The weather for this past Sunday’s event was ideal in my opinion. There have been some lovely days in the past but I can’t remember a better. Spirits were high. Everyone appeared to have had a good time. I know all the comments I received reflected that. Did everything go off without a hint of problems, of course not. The popular railroad motorcar rides stopped before they began. The first trip down the tracks and back saw the motor car derail! Not a terrible derailment but half of the wheels left the track. Happened right at the switch area. Cole, Nick, Luke, and I had a meeting of the minds and no quick repairs could be done. The car sat motionless on the tracks for the afternoon. The Gladbrook-Reinbeck Schools generously allows our use of a bus to shuttle visitors out to the wildlife area North of town to the buckskinner camp and the horse-drawn wagon rides. We pay for the fuel and a volunteer driver makes for a great deal for us.

What a great day
Noon came. The horses were harnessed and ready for action. An ever growing group of folks gathered to make the first trip out and no bus. Of course, who you gonna call? Kevin Williams. A first search on my smartphone wasn’t providing the number of our volunteer driver. Another person approaches and asks the same question – where is the bus? A call on the radio to the law enforcement center requesting the number quickly provided that. Now I had a small crowd gathered and someone was carrying feathers. I think there was a hint of hot tar in the air but I may have been mistaken. I called - the driver’s wife answered. He had been detained but should be there shortly. A minute or two later and the bus was loading with people and all was well with the world. There has been a concerted effort to make things attractive to families and it was easy the results of that on the grounds. There were parents with children. There were grandparents with grandchildren, too. And those grandkids of mine have made their way into this week’s column, too. I had four grandkids there. Their parents grew up with the Craft Fair and now bring their kids back. As do many other grown up kids that I recognize from a couple of decades ago. The haystack search or should I say scramble happened at 12:45. The event doesn’t take long. You actually can pan for gold in another area of the grounds but you would think that these kids are looking for gold by the way they attack the pile! One of my grandsons was present and old enough to take part and proudly displayed the treasures to me when he was finished. It was a good time at Pioneer Craft Fair once again. Mark the second Sunday of September on your 2017 calendar right now!
Back in the old days we had a barn. The hay mow was where hay was stored on the upper level. There was usually plenty of loose hay to play in and an ideal place for a bumble bee nest. The kids were up there playing and stumbled onto a nest of bumble bees. Since Gretch is allergic to bee stings, Karl threw her out the window (onto the loose straw below). In fifteen minutes she could have been dead if she was stung. Karl is a hero. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is no hero, however. I have to wonder what inspires these people to allow someone like my little girl to needlessly die. Is it the belief that nothing of value exists without state control? Are we now to the point that the sheets for our beds will be automatically locked up until we prove we've brushed our teeth for the night? The weird thing is that the people running these regulatory departments are just people, like us. Yet, we bow down to their commands as if they have other worldly powers, unavailable to us peasants. Let's say two people were walking along a riverbank. The person who couldn't swim falls into the river. Fortunately, there is a low hanging branch within his reach. Unfortunately, the person on the bank pulls the branch up out of the grasp of the one in the water. What would you call that? The FDA still has more than 3,000 pending approvals that were filed before October of 2014. Typical lag time for approval of a new drug, and even an established generic, is still four years. The U.S. Government does not honor drug vetting by other advanced nations. The Danish company, ALK-Abello, sells the Jext pen for $34 to $67 throughout Europe that does the same thing as Mylan's Epipen. They are shut out of the U.S. Market. Mylan's monopoly would not exist without U.S. regulations. When you can die in fifteen minutes from a bee sting, what sense does it make to require a four year approval process on something that has worked for over 100 years. Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, was first isolated in 1901. It's cost is less than a dollar per dose anywhere in the world. The other component in the Epipen is the injector. It costs about $20 to produce. We had a cow in the pasture with foot rot. She needed an antibiotic injection but my roping skills are lousy. So we borrowed a dart gun from a neighbor. The cow was stressed less than if she were roped, and she got the two 10cc doses that saved her life. The cost of each dart was $5. I don't blame anyone for being outraged at twenty-one dollars worth of product being sold for $600. But our childlike reasoning to explain complicated issues will not solve anything. Think of the 3,000 drugs waiting approval and the needless suffering. Mylan is certainly unethical in taking advantage of the FDA's protectionist policies, but they are not committing a crime. In attacking Mylan and leaving the FDA's enabling of monopolies out of the discussion, Charles Grassley appears self-serving. If he were to attack the real culprit in high drug prices he would go after the federal regulatory nightmare that enables opportunistic monopolies like Mylan. Promoting competition would make Grassley a hero, like Karl. A reply to this column is always welcome at 4selfgovernment@gmail. com or through a letter to this paper.

Letter to the editor Letter to the editor What has happened to the “good neighbor policy?” Neighbors used to help each other and look out for one another. Some people’s priorities have changed to “I’ll do what I want no matter how it affects my neighbor!” If you permit a wind turbine to be erected on your land, not only are you taking land out of production, you or the person farming your ground will have to work around the turbine and the road leading to it. You will have to pay more for aerial spraying and seeding due to increased liability. The wind companies have promised to decommission the turbines after their useful lifetime. However, we know there are wind farms all across the country that are already obsolete and setting in ruins. This is the legacy you will be leaving your children and grandchildren. Think before you sign a wind energy easement—it will affect generations to come. Sue Lynne Freese, Conrad

There will be no weekend matinees this week. * FRIDAYS ARE 50 cent Fridays at the Center Theatre! receive your choice of MEDIUM popcorn or any drink for just 50 cents! * Suicide Squad 2D, based on the DC Comic’s anti-hero team of the same name, stars Oscar nominee Will Smith, Oscar winner Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis and multiple Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Ben Affleck. A mix of well-known and unknown disparate villains are secretly recruited by U.S. Intelligence Officer Amanda Waller to carry out a mission deemed extremely dangerous. Only a group of the worst individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t selected to succeed in the mission but inevitably fail, the Suicide Squad must resolve to die trying or decide it’s every man for himself. If you are a fan of comic book heroes or great action movies, you will have fun at Warner Brother’s latest box office hit, Suicide Squad 2D! In the family/comedy Nine Lives, successful businessman Tom Brand’s (Kevin Spacey) worka-
holic lifestyle has disconnected him from his family, particularly his beautiful wife Lara (Jennifer Garner) and his adoring daughter Rebecca (Malina Weissman). Late for his daughter’s birthday, Tom decides en route to purchase a cat as a last-minute gift. After a bizarre encounter with the pet store owner (Christopher Walken), Tom leaves, but has a terrible accident. When he regains consciousness he discovers that somehow he has become trapped inside the body of the pet cat. Adopted by his family, Tom begins to experience what life is like for the family’s new pet and begins to see his family and life through a new and unexpected perspective. The comedy NINE LIVES reminds us that it is important to be there for your family - to cheer at school events, play games, to lend a shoulder to cry on or wrap a comforting arm around someone else's shoulder – those are the things most precious and most warmly remembered. That's the solid, age old lesson that this anthropomorphic, celebrity-voiced pet pic has tucked away in its 90 minutes of furry funniness. If you are looking for a heart-warming family comedy with a good story and actors, catch Nine Lives this week at the Center Theatre.

Jack Johnson with the Izaak Walton League (left) presents the award to Brad Ohrt (right).
Grundy County man receives award for Field Shelter-Belt Windbreak Brad Ohrt of Grundy County was announced as the winner of the Izaak Walton League Field Shelter-Belt Windbreak Award on August 29, 2016 at the 70th Annual Iowa Soil and Water Conservation District Commissioners Annual Conference at Prairie Meadows Conference Center in Altoona. Brad’s windbreak is fourteen rows and is diverse with many spe-
cies. The purpose of the field windbreak was to enhance habitat for wildlife and to help with wind erosion on the farm. Dwindling wildlife habitat was the main motivation for the windbreak installation. Mowing and spraying for weeds is conducted for maintenance when necessary, but the windbreak has mainly been left alone for wildlife to inhabit and flourish.

Waverly-based artist Dan Hatala is currently working on a mural for the city of Reinbeck. Hatala hopes to have the mural completed sometime this week. (Michaela Kendall/The Grundy Register photo)
Artist nears completion of Reinbeck mural
By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register REINBECK – For the past few weeks, Waverly-based artist Dan Hatala has been hard at work creating the elaborate mural that will soon adorn the east wall of the Bill Davis Park on Main Street Reinbeck. Hatala was commissioned for the job back in August, and although it’s much different than his usual work as a commercial illustrator, Hatala says he likes the change in pace. During his time as a commercial illustrator, Hatala worked for big-
time clients such as Danbury Mint, Masterpieces Puzzles, Budweiser, Coors, Pizza Hut, AMC Theaters, Ducks Unlimited, Sears and more. “I’m used to doing much smaller, more detailed works, so this is definitely different for me,” he said. “But I’m hoping to get into murals a little bit more.” So when the opportunity to practice his mural work came up in Reinbeck, he jumped on board. “It’s really different and fun for me, and it’s good to step out of my comfort zone for a while; I think everyone needs to do that sometimes,” he said.
In the last few years, Hatala has completed murals in other towns, including Fort Dodge and Waverly. One thing that he likes about murals as a public art, he said, is the way that they can breathe a new life into small towns. “When you look at communities that have a lot of murals, you notice they sort of become known for that, and then they become a destination where people want to come visit and check out these murals,” he said. Hatala estimates that the mural in Reinbeck is his largest one yet (on a single wall), though he has

Shown above are the two benches that were recently donated to the Grundy County Courthouse.
Local donors gift the courthouse two new benches
By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER – Many of the benches outside of the Grundy County Courthouse are older and in somewhat rough shape, but slowly, donors from around the county are fixing that. Just in the last few weeks, two separate donors have each presented the county with a new bench for the courthouse square. The first donation came from the family of Charles and Amanda Callaway, as a memorial to the couple by their grandchildren. In 1868, Charles Callaway moved to Grundy County, where his parents settled in Melrose Township. As a young man, Charles bought a 240-acre farm one mile south of his parents’ farm, where he lived the rest of his life. In 1906, he married Amanda Meyers, who grew up on a farm just a fourth a mile away from his. Later on, Charles served Felix Township as a constable, but farming, gardening, planting trees, and undertaking plant breeding experiments were his main occupations. Today, some of the descendants of Charles and Amanda have continued in farming and agricultural occupations, At

and they wanted to remember Charles and Amanda as early Grundy County residents and agriculturalists through this memorial bench. The second bench donation came from the Grundy Center High School Class of 1959, and earlier this year, a bench was donated by the Meyers family of Grundy Center, in memory of Samuel and Susanna Meyers, who were the first of the Meyers to settle the area back in 1877. Each of the benches is made of sturdy, recycled plastic, created by Plastic Recycling of Iowa Falls, Iowa. Mark Jungling, who takes care of maintenance at the courthouse, said that there are still more benches around the square that are in rough shape, and that need to be replaced. If anyone is interested in donating a bench for the courthouse square, they can contact Mark at 319-415-1825 for more information.
From page 1 The grant could be made for any amount of money $500,000 or below, but not over, and the grant would be split amongst any businesses participating in the façade revitalization. Of the 50 percent of the money that the city and business owners will have to come up with, the business owner will be responsible for coming up with at least 25 percent of the funding for their individual revitalization. Because each building has different needs, the cost of façade revitalization will not be the same for each building. Council member Al Kiewiet pointed out that this may be a deciding factor for many building owners on whether or not they participate in the revitalization project. “One of my main concerns from the beginning was, ‘Do we have property owners that are willing to, and can, put in the money needed for even their portion [of the revitalization effort]?” he said. Council member Dave Stefl agreed, adding that he wasn’t sure if some building owners would be able to visualize how far a certain amount of money would go when making improvements such as these. Stefl gave a hypothetical example, saying that if a building’s repairs or improvements were to cost upwards of $250,000, and the grant paid for half of that ($125,000), then the city and the building owner
done larger murals that spanned across multiple walls. He guessed that the mural might be done sometime this week, weather permitting, and added that it should be done in time for the Reinbeck Art Festival on September 24. The Reinbeck Art Festival committee is planning to do a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the mural during this year’s festival, though they have not set an exact time for the event yet. To s e e m o r e o f H a t a l a ’s work, visit his website at www. hatalaillustration.com
Naaman Haren would still be responsible for the remaining $125,000 of funding needed, which could even out to about $62,000 each, which some business owners may be hesitant to spend. In response, Schuller said that some of the improvements, such as foundation and other infrastructure work, aren’t necessarily something that aren’t immediately noticeable to the outside eye, and that they wont necessarily increase the income of the building substantially, but that they need to be done anyway. “Some of the work done wont increase the buildings value by exact amount of money spent, and that’s really one of the biggest challenges with this,” he said. “[Some building owners] cant afford to put the dollars in because they’re never going to get them back in full, and that’s why we need to look at grants and other things, whether it’s from the state or city or wherever. The building isn’t going to generate any more income just because we helped the structure to be more sound; it might have a slightly higher value, but not significantly.” Schuller said that the real incentive to building owners wont necessarily be them making a profit off the improvements, but instead, it’s the notion that these historic structures in Grundy Center will be preserved years down the road for future generations.

MSGC launches market study to explore future for downtown Grundy Center Community residents and business persons will have a chance to chime in as part of the Downtown Grundy Center Market Study project being orchestrated by Main Street Grundy Center. Main Street Grundy Center, the local non-profit group spearheading downtown Grundy Center’s revitalization efforts, is performing the study to fine-tune and enhance downtown business development and marketing strategies. Kristin Cleveland, Main Street Grundy Center executive director, said the study will include an in-depth analysis of input collected from local business and consumer surveys to be conducted this month. Interested community members who would like to take the online survey can do so at the following website: https:// www.surveymonkey.com/r/OnlineConsumerSurvey_GrundyCenter. Links to the online survey can also be found at the city’s website www. grundycenter.com and at the Main Street Iowa website, www.mainstreetgrundycenter.com.
Special components of the study, scheduled for completion this fall, include business and consumer surveys designed to identify and assess opportunities for business expansion and recruitment in the downtown business district, and recommendations for the implementation of related projects and activities. “The raw data and numbers that we’re reviewing now is good, important information, but we’ll be digging deeper to explore opportunities for downtown Grundy Center,” Cleveland said. “We’re excited to gather the perspectives and ideas of Grundy Center’s area residents, visitors and business persons who will be participating in surveys. As a result, we’ll gain a better sense of what downtown Grundy Center can be in the future, and how the community can focus its efforts to make positive things happen in the downtown.” For more information about study and opportunities to participate, contact Main Street Grundy Center at 319-825-6742 or by email, msgc@ gcmuni.net.

How do your flowers grow and where? In spring time we are always excited for the first sign of our perennials. These are the flowers that come back year after year and often times grow back bigger and better. One just flower that we find to be really hardy and easy to start is the moss rose. Colorful, low to the ground and loves to spread and fill in where others have feared to spread. I have personally watched this flower take over a bear piece of ground and make it into a sight of
beauty. One tiny stem placed 4 to 5 inches apart will turn into a full lush flower bed in the first growing season. Your neighbors and visitors will be amazed what the moss rose can do for the eyes. Beautiful, right Al ? Can it also beautify a cement driveway? Yes, amazing and what better way to fight out the weeds. Take a chance on the moss rose. Slow to start in the spring but lasting late into the fall! Portulaca! Weeds be gone!

D-NH Schools receive $10,000 STEM grant
By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review DIKE — The Dike-New Hartford High School FIRST robotics team will be the major beneficiary of a major grant the school has received from the Monsanto Corp. District technology integrationist Joanna Seymour said following the Sept. 2 presentation of D-NH’s home opening football game that the grant will help the school’s fledgling robotics program compete on a more complete scale than it did last year. “Last year the kids got in at the very last minute,” she said. “We had just enough funds to get into the Iowa Regional, but we just had enough for that. We didn’t have a whole lot (of money) to build extra pieces like the arm that could shoot. This year with this input of money the kids will be able to design in a more creative way and be able to meet the challenge they are given because they have access to the funds they need to build what they need to build.”
Dike-New Hartford was nominated for the award by local farmers. The school then had to apply for the award and tell the Monsanto Fund what it will use the funds for. “Mrs. (Chelsie) Slaba and I got together and sat down and wrote down kind of our dream — what we wanted for our robotics program and why and how Monsanto could help us reach those goals,” Seymour said. A committee from the Monsanto Fund read and narrowed the grant applications down before a group of farmers voted for the awards that are presented under the America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education Program. Award winners were selected based on the merits of the application, need and community support. Monsanto representative Ryan Eklund, a local Kruger seed sales representative, said Monsanto typically hands out $2.3 million in awards in increments of between $10,000 and $25,000. “As a school gets dominated
Girls’ sports classification What does it all mean? Lets talk girls’ sports. Volleyball is in season and talk is about our 3A classification. Yes we are 3A this year. Next year it could change and in my lesson about the five class girls system, it is subject to change each year. We are at the bottom of 3A and it does not affect our play within the conference but you will notice we will be playing larger schools when it comes tournament time. There is a board called Basic Educational Data System (BEDS). Our numbers in student count in grades 9-11 from last year made the determination for 3A in volleyball. Changes can and may happen if
changes are made dealing with sharing arrangements in the other girl sports. Columbus and Aplington/ Parkersburg girls this year are 2A not like last years 3A. My questions were many and I got great detailed information. Can I remember or repeat? No way! Our athletic director, Mr Cody Eichmeier, has answers to any further questions. Each school years numbers and activities are in constant change. Any wonder we on the sidelines get confused. PS. The boys sport remained a 4 class system.

they are notified that they have been nominated and encouraged to sharpen their merit-based application,” he said. “We’ve since 2011 been really active in trying to create positive opportunities for rural education — we’ve had a Grow Communities Campaign and then a Grow Rural Education campaign that. Both have been 100 percent focused on reenergizing and providing opportunities that wouldn’t otherwise been available.” “We’re just really honored to receive the award,” Seymour said. “We’re happy to give it away,” Eklund said. “It’s a great way for us to participate in the community in a different way, where we send the money back.” With the additional funding, Seymour said the team’s goal this year is to advance beyond the regional level and design a robot that will make it all the way to world competition.

Schoenbeck, art festival committee member and administrative assistant for the city of Reinbeck, agreed with Boyer, adding that for the first few years, the committee needed a grant from the Grundy County Community Foundation to fund the festival, but now they have gotten to the point where they are self sufficient. Schoenbeck said that this is possible thanks to the donations they receive and volunteers that help out. She also commended the local businesses for their support, by extending their hours for the festival, and staying open to serve everyone who comes to town.Julie Russel-Steuart, the other founding member of the festival, said that she has really enjoyed seeing the Reinbeck Art Festival grow and change over the years, while keeping the same goal in mind. “One of our main goals is that we want to support the arts by giving artists in our area a chance to showcase their work, but also, we just to bring more people in the community into art through whatever way we can.”For more information on the festival, including a list of the artists and their medium, check out the Reinbeck Art Festival website at https://reinbeckartfestival. wordpress.com/

On this year’s list of special events is the Midwest Glampers, a retro RV camper group who take a unique approach to art, using vintage campers as their canvas. Also new to this year’s festival is the Cedar Valley Corvette Club Show and Shine, who will be rolling in all day, and live music by Minneapolisbased musician Matt Hannah, who is known by fans for his unique take on Americana-folk music. Marion Boyer, one of the founding committee members, reflected on the past four years of the Reinbeck Art Festival, and how far the festival has come. “It started out as a dream by a couple people, and it blossomed into this,” she said. “It’s fun to see the old artists come back each year, and at the same time it’s really exciting to see all the new artists come, too. And when you go places and visit with people from out of town, people are starting to say, ‘Oh yes, I’ve been to that festival,’ and that’s really neat.” Boyer said that without the help and support from the community, the art festival wouldn’t be what it is today.“We’ve had a lot of community support, and a lot of help from volunteers,” she said.Dana

.BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PROCEEDINGS The Grundy County Board of Supervisors met in regular session on September 6, 2016, at 9:00 A.M. Chairperson Smith called the meeting to order with the following members present: Bakker, Ross, Riekena, and Schildroth. Motion was made by Ross and seconded by Riekena to approve the minutes of the previous meeting. Carried unanimously. Chairperson Smith adjourned the meeting to move to the courtroom in the courthouse to accommodate the number of visitors for the public hearing. The Grundy County Board of Supervisors reconvened its meeting on September 6, 2016, at 9:05 A.M. Chairperson Smith called the meeting to order with the following members present: Bakker, Ross, Riekena, and Schildroth. Chairperson Smith opened the public hearing regarding an Amendment to Ordinance No. 2009-5 removing Wind Energy Conversion Systems over 100 kilowatts as a principle permitted use in the A-2 Agricultural District. She announced that in order to overrule the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation there must be a negative vote of a majority of the supervisors. Motion was made by Bakker to postpone the public hearing to a later time, date, and place to be determined by the Board of Supervisors. Motion died for lack of a second. Laura Hommel, Sue Lynne Freese, Helen Hoffa, Ted Junker, David Strickler, Doug Haren, Charles Cuson, Nancy Rodemann, Susan Miller Janssen, Dave Hommel, and Jane Hommel, Grundy County land owners, spoke in favor of the amendment. Paul Thomas, Grundy County land owner, and P. J. Saliterman, EDF Renewable Energy, spoke opposed to the amendment. Auditor Deters read letters and emails from Glen Draper, John W. Essig, Essig Farms Corporation, Raymond and Katherine Kirkdorffer, Don and Helen Price, and Alice Draper, opposed to the amendment. After hearing everyone desiring to speak in favor of or against the amendment, the chairperson closed the hearing at 9:44 A.M. Supervisor Schildroth stated that he was not personally comfortable having a wind turbine, but previously the supervisors approved the request for 45 parcels to be rezoned and he could not change his vote in the middle of the Ivester Wind Farm project. Supervisor Riekena used an analogy that it would not be his place to stop landowners from harvesting oil if it was discovered under the land in the northeast corner of Grundy County. Supervisor Ross directed attention to the flag of the State of Iowa and the ribbon reading "Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain" and stated that he supports the landowners’ rights to use their property for their benefit. Supervisor Bakker stated that he did not believe that this was the proper time for this to come before the supervisors and that he could not consider voting yes or no at this time. Supervisor Smith examined the definition of property rights which includes possession, control, exclusion, enjoyment, and disposition, and stated that she believes that the rights of the landowners should prevail. Motion was made by Riekena and seconded by Ross to reject the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission to remove Wind Energy Conversion Systems over 100 kilowatts as a principle permitted use in the A-2 Agricultural District. Roll call vote was as follows: Ayes – Ross, Riekena, Schildroth, and Smith. Nays – none. Bakker voted present. Carried 4-0. Chairperson Smith adjourned the meeting to move to the Supervisors’ Room in the courthouse. The Grundy County Board of Supervisors reconvened its meeting on September 6, 2016, at 9:55 A.M. Chairperson Smith called the meeting to order with the following members present: Bakker, Ross, Riekena, and Schildroth. Motion was made by Schildroth and seconded by Bakker to approve low quote dated September 1, 2016, from AgVantage FS of Waverly, Iowa, for supplying 5,000 gallons of diesel at $1.5504/gallon and 3,000 gallons of gasohol at $1.4096/gallon at its delivery cost for the above-ground fuel tanks at the Secondary Road Department in Grundy Center. Carried unanimously. Motion was made by Ross and seconded by Schildroth to approve low bid by K & W Electric of Cedar Falls, Iowa, on intersection light Project No. HSIP-S-CO38(98)—6C-38 in the amount of $23,998.00. Carried unanimously. Motion was made by Riekena and seconded by Schildroth to approve contract documents with Gus Construction of Casey, Iowa, on Bridge No. D-05 replacement Project No. L-RCBD05—73-38 and to authorize the chairperson to sign said documents. Carried unanimously. Motion was made by Riekena and seconded by Schildroth to approve plans and specifications on repair of Bridge No. C-29 Project No. L-C29FEMA—73-38 for local bid letting on September 26, 2016, and to authorize the Board of Supervisors to sign said plans.

GC faced a stiff test Tuesday at Class 2A No. 2 ranked Sumner-Fredericksburg. It then plays in the Benton, Van Horne tournament Saturday. Grundy Center 3, East Marshall 0 LEGRAND — Grundy Center won its second straight early season North Iowa Cedar League West Division match Tuesday, 25-6, 25-11, 25-3 at East Marshall.

Comets beat Tigers in straight sets By Scott Bierle Mid-America Publishing EL DORA- From start to finish BCLUW had the upper hand and captured a 25-19, 25-18, 25-19 North Iowa Cedar League West Conference win over the South Hardin volleyball team here Thursday. The visiting Comets owned the lead the entire first two games and were down just once at 2-1 in the third set to open league play on a winning note. D espite the sweep, BCLUW coach Kristin Garber felt the Comets were so-so. “I felt from beginning to end we played in spurts and we would turn it on when we needed. We needed to be more aggressive.” G ame one was all BCLUW early, building leads of 9-3 and later 18-9 as Samantha Ubben had two kills, Leah Yantis one and Cate Nason a tip during a 7-1 run. The advantage was 22-13 on a Jordyn Beeghly kill when the Tigers battled back with a run of five points capped by a JoJo Keahey kill and block. The Comets answered with three of the next four points for a one game lead. “ We were better because were we were aggressive at the net,” stated South Hardin coach Greg Salvo. “ But we would do some good things and then take a step back. Missed serves were a momentum killer tonight,” he added. South Hardin had the second set knotted three times with the last at 9-9 and were down just 15-14 when BCLUW uncorked a 10-4. The game’s final three points were a Ubben kill, Yantis tip and Nason service ace. D ru Balvanz’s kill gave the Tigers an early 2-1 lead in the third game when the Comets went on a 7-1 scoring spree. South Hardin continued fighting, pulling within 11-10 and 18-17 before BCLUW again shine late, ending with a 7-2 run as Beeghly had a kill and block.
T he loss left South Hardin 0-3 overall and 0-2 in the league. BCLUW is 6-2 overall. Garber had words of encouragement for sophomore setter Nason. “Nason was stellar. We are asking a lot of a sophomore and she has stepped up. She hit her spots well tonight.” She added, “Anderson was good up front tonight, Kaylee in the back row on defense made a lot of plays, and Beeghly was solid.” Ubben drilled a match-high 15 kills with a sharp hitting performance of 25-of-28. Easton Swanson added seven kills and Beeghly six as both were 15-of-17 hitting, and Anderson had four kills. Nason was credited with 23 assists. K aylee Goecke was 10-of-10 serving with 9-of-10 for Swanson and 8-of-9 with the team’s one ace for Ubben. Goecke added eight digs with Swanson seven and Ubben six. “ The blocking was good and the hustle of the girls was again very good. We again had areas of the game play well at times, but we need to put all together,” added Salvo. Lexi Ryan buried eight kills on 20-of-22 hitting to lead the Tigers with six kills for Balvanz, going 16-of-20 and Nina Priske at 12-of17. Hanna VanderWilt booked 15 assists and Balvanz eight. Defensively, Keahey was a wall on the front line with six blocks, including three solos, followed by Balvanz five, Priske four and Chloe Edgerton three. Ryan collected a dozen digs and Hannah Tripp eight. B CLUW battles AGWSR in Conrad Thursday and goes to Reinbeck Saturday for the G-R tournament. Thursday’s win was a nice bounce back for the Comets after falling to Columbus in straight sets last Tuesday night in Conrad, 17-25, 13-25, 16-25.
Rebels fall to West Marshall in five STATE CENTER- Despite a valiant effort, the GladbrookReinbeck volleyball team fell to West Marshall in five sets last Tuesday night in State Center, 25-23, 14-25, 25-23, 19-25, 9-15.

Flater, Spartans steamroll Rockford in district opener By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER- In the second quarter of Grundy Center’s 57-6 win over Rockford on Friday night, Spartan coach Brent Thoren told star running back Bryce Flater that he needed to run even harder and never stop moving his feet. The senior must have taken the advice to heart as he finished with a gaudy 237 yards and six touchdowns in the district opener. “(Flater) had a solid all around game on both offense and defense, and the offensive line made a lot of openings for our backs to run through,” Thoren said. The Spartans got rolling early and never let off the gas: Flater scored his first touchdown less than three minutes in, and after a Jared Krausman interception and a Jake Bangasser completion to Sage Klar, Flater punched another one in from four yards out to make the score 14-0. He even managed to score on defense, too: Flater sacked Rockford quarterback Zach Bushbaum in the end zone early in the second quarter to make the score 16-0, and he broke a 46-yarder to the left for his third touchdown of the night on the ensuing offensive drive. The Warriors got their only score of the night on a 68-yard pass from Bushbaum to sophomore Kaden Lyman with about two and a half minutes to go in the first half, but Flater responded with two more rushing touchdowns of 50 and 13 yards before the horn as well as a safety on an attempted punt to make the score 39-6 at halftime. Flater broke a 44-yard touchdown run in the third, and Bangasser found Braidan Buhrow on a seven-yard pass in the third quarter. Austin Knaack added a fourth quarter touchdown from a yard out to round out the blowout win. Flater’s 237 yards were a season-high, and he surpassed the 500 yard mark in just his third game of the year. Bangasser finished a re-

Defensively, Josh Kuiper led the Spartans with five total tackles, and Krausman had an interception and two and a half tackles. The Spartan defense was stout, holding Rockford to just 106 yards of total offense, including -1 yards rushing. “The defense continues to play well and our special teams had a really good night,” Thoren said. “All in all, it was a great team effort, and it was nice to get that first win in district play.” Grundy Center improved to 2-1 overall and 1-0 in district play, and Rockford fell to 0-3.

It was a great total team effort.” “Our defensive line dominated the game,” he said. “Ben Latusek, Reeve Wheat and Ethan Weichers had outstanding games. Noah Heathcott at linebacker was all over the field.” Nick Durnin added 105 yards and a touchdown for the winners while Clayton Mapel scored on a 47-yard touchdown pass from Rhett Ehmen and Tanner Smith also had a rushing touchdown. The Wolverines jumped ahead 24-0 at halftime. Johnson opened the scoring with a 51-yard scoring run before Mapel and Ehmen connected.

Cougars handle Tigers in four By Scott Bierle Sports Editor A C K L E Y- M o m e n t u m from an exciting first set win for the South Hardin volleyball team quickly evaporated and ended in a four game loss here Tuesday. T he AGWSR girls bounced back from the 28-26 opening set loss to take the next three games 25-22, again 25-22, 25-11 during the two team’s North Iowa Cedar League West Conference opener. The victory was the Cougars’ first after an 0-5 start to the season and the second set win snapped a 13-game losing skid. The Tigers fell to 0-2 on the fall with a second four-game loss. South Hardin also won game one in a 3-1 setback to North Tama. A G W S R c o - c o a c h B e t s y Harms liked the Cougars’ mental approach. “Physically we can do it, it is mentally where we have to get better and we did tonight. We were mentally strong and that allowed us to make some adjustments during the match that helped us win.” T he visiting Tigers captured game one in a set both teams could have claimed. South Hardin fought off a game-point down 26-25 with a Chloe Edgerton tip and then a pair of AGWSR hitting errors finished the opening game. A G W S R w i t h s t o o d t h r e e game-points earlier, first down 24-22 and pulled even at 24-all and then down 25-24 again pulled even and took the 26-25 lead on Mariah Jimmerson’s second straight kill. T he Cougars owned a slim advantage through much of game one, including 22-21 on Maddie Brandt’s tip, but three consecutive hitting errors build South Hardin the
24-22 lead. “Overall, I liked that the girls fought and battled in a lot of long rallies, but the end we let a lot of balls hit the floor and had a lot of unforced errors,” South Hardin coach Greg Salvo stated. A GWSR pulled even in the second set behind an 11-2 run. After back-to-back service aces by Hannah Tripp opened a 15-13 lead for South Hardin, the Cougars scored eight straight with Mandy Willems at the serving line. The lead was 24-17 after a pair of Brandt service points when the Tigers made one last run. South Hardin fought off five game-points and were within 24-22 when AGWSR’s Rachel Sicard dropped a tip for the game winner. Game three was again a backand-forth battle with leads for both teams before Edgerton’s kill knotted the set 20-all. The Cougars scored the next four points and five of the final seven to go up 2-1. A Sicard kill started the deciding run with an Alana Groninga kill for point 24. After three highly-competitive sets, game four was all AGWSR. The hosts raced to an 8-2 edge on six Brandt service points, led 15-7 and then with Groninga at the back line another six points stretched the cushion to 22-9. “We need to be more aggressive,” noted Salvo. “We are settling for a lot of tips. And we need to do better job in serve reception.” Brandt’s totals led the Cougars as the senior collected 11 kills, 10 digs and eight service aces. She was 22-of-29 hitting and 28-of-30 serving. “ Maddie’s serving and the whole team serving was very good,
and the defensive had a good effort. We got our hands on a lot of balls at the net,” Harms said. AGWSR was 95-of-105 serving and landed 14 service aces. Willems and Addi Johnson added two service aces, while Willems was 19-of-21 and Groninga 17-of-19 with one ace. Groninga matched Brandt’s 11 kills on 21-of-24 hitting with nine kills for Jimmerson on 30-of-36 hitting. Sicard added five kills and Willems four to go with 18 assists. Defensively, Willems picked 17 digs, Johnson 16 and Groninga 15 while middles Brandt and Sicard had three blocks each. For the Tigers, Nina Priske led the kill count with eight on 20-of23 hitting with six for Edgerton, Tripp five and four for Lexi Ryan and JoJo Keahey. Dru Balvanz lofted 14 assists. S erving leaders were Tripp 17-of-17 and Hanna VanderWilt 13-of-13 with three aces each. Balvanz went 15-of-18 and Ryan 12-of13 with two service aces apiece. Ryan was the top digger with 30 followed by Tripp 17 and Balvanz 11. B oth the Tigers and Cougars will take part in the South Hardin Tournament Saturday in Eldora with pool play starting at 9 a.m. Rounding out the field will be highly-ranked Grandview Christian, Forest City, Greene County, Gladbrook-Reinbeck, Oelwein and Edgewood-Colesburg. B oth teams then return to league play with South Hardin meeting Gladbrook-Reinbeck in Eldora Tuesday and AGWSR playing BCLUW in Conrad Thursday.

The Comets managed just 230 yards of total offense and allowed their opponent to rush for over 400 yards, with three Cougar players finishing with over 100
yards in the contest. Junior Carter Seitsinger led the way with 13 carries for 149 yards and a score, while sophomore Roy Speicher had 21 carries for 146 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore Spencer Schmitz also finished with 110 yards and one touchdown. BCLUW quarterback Brad Barkema finished 13-of-27 for 163 yards and a touchdown, connecting with senior Clay Silver on an eight yard pass for the lone
Comet score of the night. Silver caught six passes for 60 yards, and sophomore Coby Willett had four grabs for 62 yards. Barkema also rushed 12 times for 60 yards. The Comets fell to 0-3 with the loss, and Sumner-Fred got its first win of the season to improve to 1-2 overall. BCLUW hits the road to take on Central Springs (2-1) in Manly on Friday night.
