City eyes new ambulance facility By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – Today’s EMS is bigger. Literally. The ambulance isn’t that long dark coach that occasionally doubled as the local hearse – an image small town people of a certain age still recall.

Today the ambulance is an all but full-fledged emergency room on wheels, and because of this it’s just bigger – too wide for the accommodations that house the Eldora service out at the medical center on the town’s west edge. The ambulance has outgrown its headquarters and depot, and largely

due to the service’s successes, it’s likely the strain will continue. The service has a call load that’s grown by three fold in a decade. Nowadays it takes precision maneuvering to get two of the ambulances in the medical center garage, and there is no room at all for the third ambulance.

It has been stored in a neighborhood garage on the west edge of town. And so, the city is looking at a $2.5 million project to build new facilities. One thing to remember when you consider the cost figure is that the Eldora ambulance service has been

pretty unique among city ambulance departments in that it is self funded – self supporting – doesn’t ask for taxpayer dollars. It sustains its operations off the charges for service. City administrator Bruce Bierma (continued on page 3)

County Memorial Hospital caught up with The Eldora Newspapers to discuss how they stay prepared for harvest season. Staff Development coordinator Kayla Anderson and Emergency Services Manager Sara Hook, who are both registered nurses, sat down for a brief interview and explained that the most common instances during this season are traffic accidents involving regular vehicles running into farm equipment and

hand injuries, but they haven’t dealt with any serious cases such as entrapment in a bin in recent years. “We do make it a priority, especially when we’re getting into the summer and fall seasons, to really target our trauma education and make sure that everybody is ready to go in the event that we have something come in,” Anderson said. “Education is key.” The hospital provides training to its nurses, including hands-on

simulations and a recent presentation on back boarding and treating hemorrhages, to ensure that they are prepared to handle whatever may be thrown at them. They will also hold an educational seminar from Iowa Brain and Spine on traumatic brain injuries coming up in the near future. Both Anderson and Hook have seen cases that were life-threatening and required that the patient be flown on to bigger hospitals such as Waterloo or Iowa City, and as

a small rural hospital, GCMH can only treat them up to a certain point. They have also dealt with chemical related injuries suffered by detasslers along with those caused by livestock and have to be ready for anything, though they haven’t dealt with anything serious yet in 2016. “Usually it’s a tractor pulling a piece of equipment, and a car runs into that piece of equipment. I would say that and hand/arm injuries (are the most common),” Hook said.

“We’ve had some lacerations but nothing really severe yet.” Of course, those at the hospital are hopeful that everyone involved in harvest will come out safe and unscathed, but they’re ready to help when needed. “We’ve just got to ramp up our preparedness,” Hook said.

National Farm Safety Week is celebrated in September

Rickels seeks second supervisor term By Rick Patrie News Editor HARDIN COUNTY – The fact that the county board of supervisors hasn’t generated a lot of sensational news is a reflection of how well board member Ronn Rickels feels things have gone in the last few years. “Steady,” is the way he describes things. Rickels is the one Democrat on the board, but he says that party politics has been a non-factor in the conduct of business. “I think we all work well together,” he said of board members Renee´ McClellan and Lance Granzow. “I hope they feel the same way.” Rickels says the board has been busy making a routine of dealing with a fiscal environment that all but demands a conservative approach to use of the county’s dollars. He says maybe one of the issues that have demanded the most attention has been dealing with the state’s ongoing changes to the way it wants mental health services delivered.

A couple of years ago the counties were told to begin moving toward multi-county regional platforms and now in the last year the administration of the system is being further altered with the introduction of private contractors to manage the project. Rickels says that, nevertheless, the emphasis continues to be moving clients out of institutional settings into different types of independent living. In other areas, the county is working to hire a sanitarian to assume duties, which had been the province of the county’s county health nurse office up until a few months ago. The county has also moved to do its own rock hauling rather than contract, and Rickels says there will be a push to reorganize the physical space in the courthouse and other county office buildings. Rickels came on the board, coming right out of a 34 year teaching career. He had been recruited by county Democrats to run for office when long time supervisor Jim Johnson

retired. Rickels had never run for public office before. “After some thought I judged it might make an interesting second career.” Now he says that’s been pleasantly confirmed. Rickels had taught in the Iowa Falls Riverbend Middle School, teaching his areas of expertise, biology and the other sciences. The closest he had come to serving in elected office, was by way of his father who was a county supervisor in Monticello for a time. Rickels said when he ran for office, he had one advantage. Name recognition. He had after all taught a lot of the younger voters who were going to the polls. He judged he probably dealt with 2,000 youngsters in that first career, and he said he suddenly realized a lot of them still lived in the county He and his wife Alene, who has taught special education in the Iowa Falls system, have three grown children.

City eyes new ambulance facility (continued from page 1) says, in the interests of candor everyone knows the day may come when the taxpayer is asked to help out a little, but it will not be because of the new building proposal. Under the proposal, which will go on the table at the October 4 city council meeting, the idea is to fund the entire new construction out of fees for service. The city is proposing to finance the building program floating of a what is termed a revenue bond issue, a common public finance tool which calls for the bonds to be retired using proceeds from fees. Officials say it’s a good time to undertake the debt, with interest rates still historically low, down at 2.38 percent or less for 40 year term (although the city hall says it wouldn’t anticipate stretching out the financing that long.) With no hospital in the community, proponents of the project say the ambulance service has become just that much more, a critical component of health care in Eldora. They say the service has had lots of success in securing agreements with area hospitals and health care providers – transporting patients between service providers. The service answers well over 1,000 calls a year now, Larson says, compare to 300 a decade ago. It means a big increase in revenue. These inter-service-provider transfers, which make up a big portion of the calls, shouldn’t be mistaken for leisurely trips between hospitals and nursing homes. Instead, about 60 percent of the transfers are actually done under emergency protocols. Larson says keeping the service strong and growing is important to the health care picture in central Hardin County and Eldora in particular. The growing service has made it easier for the unit here to remain self funding rather than requiring taxpayer subsidization – as is often the case in rural communities. Right now, the service has portions of two crews on call round the clock at the site but sleeping accommodations are limited. Room for every-updated training is now cramped, too. Eldora has a full complement of crewmembers where many other services of like size towns are constantly struggling to keep their membership up. If the project is approved, the city hopes that in 8 to 9 months the building could be operational. The city hasn’t picked a spot yet, but they make clear the idea would be to make it more centrally located than at present. There are constant winter concerns about snowdrifts on highway 175 at the west edges of town. The city council will take up the question on October 4 at 7 p.m. during its regular monthly meeting. Larson says that the Eldora service is a community bragging point here in central Iowa, highly successful in terms of maintaining a full and well credentialed staff, keeping Eldora a stakeholder in local health care, and doing it all without calling on those taxpayer dollars.

EMS evolved over the years by Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – It was back in May and national EMS Week, when Eldora EMS director Corey Larson told the newspapers about changes that have taken place in the EMS profession over the decades. Now, with calls for expansion to the facilities locally, here is a review of what he said: Much had changed in two or three decades. Paramedics and EMTs were routinely providing lifesaving interventions in people’s homes, on highways and in ambulances. Throughout the past four decades, he said that pre hospital care had evolved in ways that were never imagined when the first paramedics hit the streets. Until today the profession looks to a future where its role in the health care system will likely have grown to include a lot of services beyond those associated with patient transportation. EMS will be even more part of a seamless health care system. How have things already changed? First if you are old enough, you may remember the difference between the hearse-style ambulances of the 1960s and ’70s and the ambulances of today, crews say. Other differences, while more subtle, probably represent bigger shifts in EMS culture and practice. At one time, providers who wore gloves were the minority—the tough ones didn’t need them. Forty years ago, no one had heard of HIV or AIDS and Ebola hadn’t been discovered. Now, gloves have become standard gear and infection control is one of the most pressing issues facing the industry today. Three decades ago it was hard to imagine a pre hospital provider performing advanced interventions or administering medications without talking to a physician first. Defibrillation, for example, was once a skill that only paramedics could perform, and only after receiving orders from a physician— something that seems ridiculous to EMS providers today, when defibrillators are available to the public and EMS caregivers provide advanced care on standing orders. Technological advances have led to telemedicine and conversations between field providers on the scene and physicians – as more and more agencies look for ways to avoid transporting patients unnecessarily. Telemedicine is just one area where technology is changing how EMS providers perform care. Ambulances and fire apparatuses can now carry advanced diagnostic equipment that has become more portable and more affordable. EKG monitors perform and transmit 12-leads, record vital signs, and measure carbon dioxide levels in expired air and carbon monoxide levels in blood. Some paramedics have access to ultrasound, while in other cases they are acquiring lactate levels and performing other lab tests in the field. What technological advances have not changed, Michos says, is the importance of assessing the patient with one’s eyes and hands and ears. Using evidence to make care decisions While pre hospital providers have always thought they were doing the best for their patients, only in recent years has EMS started to rely on evidence to prove so. In the early days of EMS, treatments and protocols were often based on assumptions and anecdotes, but not rigorous science. Today, pre hospital research is now a vibrant and growing area of study. Managing with data

The data being collected is not only useful for researchers— it is also being used on a daily basis by EMS executives and managers. The data revolution in EMS started with an emphasis on response times as fire departments and ambulance services began scrutinizing the location and time of incidents in an effort to more efficiently meet the requirements of their contracts. In the past decade, the availability of electronic patient data has led to the creation of other performance measures besides response times. The proliferation of the electronic patient care report (PCR) has led to a significant push in recent years to track clinically relevant measures; now most major EMS systems can report their cardiac arrest save rates, percentage of chest pain patients who receive 12-lead EKGs, and time spent on scene with trauma patients. Patient-centered care Leaving a patient at home was once considered the biggest risk in EMS—patient refusals were all against medical advice, and EMTs were taught to tell patients that they needed to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Today EMS innovators have discovered that some patients shouldn’t go to the hospital, and avoiding those trips can benefit the patient and the healthcare system. At the same time, mobile integrated healthcare and community paramedic programs are revolutionizing the role of EMS in the community. What has not changed [in 40 years] is that the basic premise of EMS is still transportation,” he says. “There are a variety of reasons, but the primary one is funding. We [get paid] for taking people from one place to the next with the provision of health care an almost an ancillary function. Many in the field think that will change as there is a movement toward more seamless communitywide paramedicine service not necessarily tied to an ambulance call. Some in the field see a parallel between some of the changes happening now and the ones now 40 years old dating back to the early days of the service. EMS grows up One aspect of EMS that has helped it evolve professionally lies in how pre hospital providers are educated. Now, most initial EMS training does not have as much physician involvement, but not because the quality of the training has declined. Over the years, paramedics and nurses with years of field EMS experience have led to a large cadre of instructors from within the profession. At the same time, the education standards—many of which Stoy helped write—have striven to produce true medical professionals, in addition to responders with a set of technical skills. 1960’s clinical training consisted of starting just a few IVs and administering some medication during a rotation in the ED. And upon completion of the course, one was sent to work as a paramedic— no formal OJT program existed at the time. Now, some of those very same EMS veterans who took unaccredited paramedic courses several decades ago are starting to suggest that associate’s degrees or even bachelor’s degrees should be required for people to practice as paramedics. Moving forward It took decades for protocols to adapt to the clinical research on immobilization. Today, many new EMS innovations still start with a theory, but the service has recognized the need to evaluate and adapt more quickly.

Timothy Christian students participate in Bible reading marathon

On April 26, 2016 Gov. Terry Brandstad issued an Executive Proclamation calling for an Iowa 99 County Bible Reading Marathon to take place in front of each county courthouse in Iowa. Part of this proclamation read as follows: “All Scripture is essential to prepare us to be the people God wants us to be and to accomplish the purpose for which he created us.” Most counties participated this past summer from June 30-July 3. Grundy County sponsored the Bible Reading Marathon from September 6 - September 11. The seventh and eighth graders from Timothy Christian School, along with teachers, Rebecca Johnson and Michelle Cox, participated on Tuesday morning from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m.. Staff said it was a “Wonderful opportunity for the students to support in a public way the importance of God’s Word.” Gov. Brandstad’s proclamation concluded with the encouragement of “individuals and families in Iowa to read through the Bible on a daily basis each year until the Lord comes.”

44th Annual Diabetes Trail Ride reset to Oct. 8, 9

Owing to recent heavy rains that left lots of water on the trails, the 44th Annual Juvenile Diabetes Trail Ride has been rescheduled to Saturday, Oct. 8 and Sunday, Oct. 9 in rural Clarksville. When Butch Freeseman’s son Rodney was 1 ½, the boy was diagnosed with diabetes. Soon after, in 1972, the elder Freeseman, of Allison, started the annual trail ride to raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). “The water’s just too high,” Freeseman said. “It was just impossible to have it this coming weekend.”

The trail ride starts at 11 a.m., sharp on Saturday at the Mr. and Mrs. Terry Engel residence, 27389 180th Street, Clarksville and crosses farm ground in Clarksville and surrounding areas, near the Shell Rock River. Riders over age 13 pay $5 a day; 13 and under may ride for no donation if they choose. Saturday’s ride includes a 5:307:30 p.m., free-will donation pork loin potluck supper. Bring a potluck dish. Following supper, at 8 p.m., will be a dance at Doc’s Restaurant Lounge to the band, Borderline. There will also be an auction, including four processed halves of hog, and 50/50

Settlement proposed with plea agreement GRUNDY CENTER – Reports are that a former Eldora reserve police officer has stipulated he plans to plead guilty to reduced charges in a case from late 2015. Under an agreement with prosecutors, the state will amend and reduce four felony charges against Dennis J. Beadle to misdemeanors and add a harassment charge. The case involving a gormer girl friend is being handled in Grundy County District Court as the incidents were alleged in Grundy Center. At sentencing, the state will stipulate Beadle be placed on probation for two to five years, fined and ordered to attend sex offender and domestic abuse treatment, obtain a mental health evaluation and wear an ankle bracelet for one year, according to court documents. The judge isn’t required to accept

the sentence agreement. A hearing on the matter had been scheduled for next week, but the defense had asked for a delay. With the plea agreement, felony charges will be downgraded to misdemeanor assault with intent to commit sexual abuse, and a stalking charge will remove allegations of a weapon being involved, dropping that count to a misdemeanor, too. A harassment charge alleging Beadle sent threatening text and voice messages to the woman would be added. The charges stem from incidents in October, November and December. The case was investigated by the Grundy County and Hardin County sheriffs’ office, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and the Iowa Falls Police Department.

BCLUW buries AGWSR netters in three games

South Hardin football (continued from page 11) Halsey scored the two-point conversion. The first of the Eagles’ four touchdowns came on the first play of the second quarter when Stephenson plowed four-yards. Thompson generated 127 of the team’s 152 rushing yards on 18 carries. The aerial attack was 65 yards on three connections between the Rewoldt brothers. Stephenson was do-it-all for Saydel. In addition to having a hand in three touchdowns, the junior hit 14-of-21 passes for 144 yards and rushed for 70 yards. Junior Craig Garrison rushed for 75 and Sprague, yet another junior, had 53 yards rushing.

Dane Butler spearheaded the South Hardin defenders as the middle linebacker booked 12 solo tackles and another five assists. Logan Spindler had seven stops, Duchane and Tyrell Todd six and Ke. Rewoldt five unassisted. The outcome left both teams 1-1 in district play while the Tigers slipped to 2-2 overall and the Eagles are 3-1. South Hardin is back on the road Friday at Parkersburg against Aplington-Parkersburg. The Falcons will be celebrating Homecoming. A-P was beaten 35-7 by DikeNew Hartford last Friday. The Tigers then return home for two weeks, welcoming Dike-New Hartford Sept. 30 to Eldora and West Marshall Oct. 7 for Homecoming.

by Scott Bierle Sports Editor CONRAD- A balanced front line attack shined as the BCLUW volleyball team swept AGWSR 25-14, 2519, 25-11 during a North Iowa Cedar League West Conference match here Thursday. The host Comets buried 34 kills on 71-of-81 hitting and led from start to finish. Samantha Ubben’s eight kills led the attack with seven for Jordyn Beeghly and six for Easton Swanson. Lauren Anderson, Leah Yantis and Cate Nason all added three kills and Nason was credited with 25 assists. Ubben was 14-of-15 hitting, Swanson 14-of-14 and Beeghly 12of-17. “Our hitters were very good. We stayed aggressive at the net and didn’t go much to the tips. We have several girls that can hit and that makes us tougher to defend. And Cate did a nice job of keeping every-

AREA NETTERS- Cougar setter Mandy Willems sets the volleyball for hitter Maddie Brandt (5) as the Comets’ Jordyn Beeghly prepares to the block during NICL West play Thursday. BCLUW was a three-set winner over AGWSR 25-14, 25-19, 25-11.

one involved,” said BCLUW coach Kristin Garber. Scoring sprees of 12-2 and 9-1 sparked BCLUW in game one. The hosts opened the match with a 12-2 run as Swanson had eight service points and then scored nine of 10 points, pushing the advantage to 238. Five of the nine points were kills by Ubben twice and one each for Swanson, Yantis and Kate Goecke along with a Nason service ace. AGWSR looked to bounce back in the second set, jumping to a 6-1 lead as Alana Groninga had two service aces, and still led 10-6 when the Comets uncorked an 11-1 run and turned the deficit into a 17-11 lead. The Cougars clawed back to within 20-18 with Groninga, Mariah Jimmerson and Maddie Brandt kills when the hosts closed on a 5-1 spurt.

Fueling the late push were two kills for Ubben and one each for Anderson and Beeghly. The Comets carried the momentum into game three, dashing to an 8-1 advantage. Moments later a 7-0 run stretched the commanding cushion to 16-4. “I’m really proud of the way we played,” noted Garber. “With the exception of spotting them six points in game two, I just felt we were in charge the whole time.” Nason collected three of the winner’s eight service aces, going 12of-12 followed by Swanson 17-of18 and Ubben 6-of-9 with two aces each. Skylar Veldhouse was 7-of-7 with one service ace. Comets’ libero Kaylee Goecke had nine digs, Ubben eight and Na-

ing spree in just over 12-minutes of game time, capped an unanswered 27-points. “We didn’t adjust to their adjustments. We need 11 good things to happen on every play and that didn’t happen,” stated South Hardin coach Barry Scott. Saydel reached paydirt just three plays in to the third quarter when quarterfinal TJ Stephenson called his own number and scored on a one-yard run with 10:49 showing. A 45-yard pass play from Stephenson to Cash Lee ended at the one. After the Eagles forced the Tigers into a three-and-punt possession, Stephenson and company were back in business and on a fourth down and short, Stephenson connected with Lee for a 38-yard scoring strike as the SH defense was hugging the line of scrimmage. South Hardin settled again for a punt – one of six in all and this time Saydel covered 91 yards of the gridiron on 15-plays when Trevor Sprague barreled the final threeyards for six. The Tigers finally answered the 27

unanswered points with a 46-yard scoring strike at the 8:44 mark of the fourth. Signal caller Kolten Rewoldt connected with twin brother Kevin Rewoldt for a 46-yard touchdown. The comeback nearly continued when South Hardin cornerback Ty Cook picked a tipped pass and went 65-yards untouched, but the touchdown was called back with a block in the back penalty. The Tigers turned the ball over on downs and the next possession ended with a first down lost fumble. “We had plenty of chances and the coaches and kids didn’t execute,” noted Scott. The Tigers started the scoring in large part to fullback Jeff Thompson. After the two team’s traded punts, South Hardin took possession at the 18 and Thompson blast past the Saydel defenders on first down for 78 yards only to be tripped up at the four. The host’s continued to feed the senior and finally on fourth and goal at the one, Thompson broke the goal line for six. South Hardin faked the extra point and kicker Michael (continued on page 10)

Cougars can’t hang with top-ranked Dons

by Rob Maharry The Grundy Register ACKLEY- Fourth-ranked AGWSR wanted to make a statement in Friday night’s homecoming game against Don Bosco, the team’s first real test as an eight man program. Unfortunately, the Cougars fell behind early, and the top-ranked Dons never surrendered the momentum in a 54-12 trouncing in Ackley. “The good thing about playing Don Bosco is that you know what they bring to the table, you know they’re a quality opponent and they’ll show you what you need to work on,” AGWSR coach James Koop said. “The boys never quit, but it got away from us a bit.” Don Bosco got rolling right away, and a crucial pass interference call on a ball intended for Brandon Bagby moved the Dons down to the AGWSR 25-yard line on the opening drive. Two plays later, junior Austin Svoboda scored from 11 yards out to make it 6-0, although the Cougars did manage to intercept a two-point conversion attempt. AGWSR responded, however, when quarterback Nathan Karsjens found receiver Aaron Roelfs up the middle for a 17-yard touchdown one play after connecting with Mason Eilderts on a fake punt pass to set the Cougars up in the red zone. A failed extra point tied the score at six with 5:56 to go in the opening frame. Svoboda scored again on a run to the left, this time from 12 yards out, to make the score 14-6 with 4:21 left in the quarter, and neither team scored again before the first horn. Early in the second, the Dons converted a pivotal fourth and 11 when Bagby found Thomas Even for 34 yards to set up first and goal at the seven, and Bagby punched it in on a keeper the next play to make it 20-6. About five minutes later, Bagby hooked up with junior Wyatt Sawvel on a fade pass from 16 yards out, and Don Bosco suddenly held a commanding 26-6 lead. The Cougars got one of their only breaks of the night when senior Tate Hofmeister recovered a muffed punt

late in the second quarter to set them up with great field position at the Don Bosco 29-yard line. On a third and eight at the 12, Karsjens found Liam Stubbe on a swing pass and let his running back do the rest, making the score 26-12 with just over a minute to go. It would stay that way until halftime. The second half was all Don Bosco. Svoboda broke another run, a 43-yarder to the left, and Cael Tenold intercepted Karsjens and took it to the house to make the score 40-12 in favor of the Dons. In the fourth quarter, Sawvel added a 48-yard run, and backup quarterback Austin Hellman scored another one for good measure just seconds before the clock ran out from two yards. “Momentum never really got back on our side after halftime,” Koop said. “If you’re going to get humble pie, it’s always better to get it in a non-district game, and we got a big dish of it tonight.” For the night, AGWSR managed just 171 total yards of offense and eight first downs, and Karsjens finished 6-of-15 for 81 yards with two touchdowns and a pick as well as 38 yards rushing. Stubbe was the top receiver with four catches for 32 yards and a score. The Dons improved to 4-0 on the

year, and AGWSR fell to 3-1. The Cougars are at Turkey Valley this week before returning home to face Northwood Kensett next Friday.
