Local investors, officials break ground on Parkersburg hotel project By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — Parkersburg’s long-proposed hotel project became a reality Monday as those involved in the project joined City officials in breaking ground on the Legend Trail Inn and Suites. The hotel, which is expected to have more than 30 rooms, is located on the southwest corner of the Legend Trail Development and near the intersection of Highways 57 and 14. “We’re very excited,” Mayor Perry Bernard said of the project during Monday’s groundbreaking ceremony. “I keep telling people that this town is an amazing town and it has to do with

the people in the town – the dreams that people have, they make happen here. It’s outstanding and I couldn’t be prouder to be mayor at this time with everything that’s going on and how fast we’re growing. “This hotel is going to be an outstanding addition to this area,” he said. “To bring more people in. It helps everybody in the city, it helps the schools … I want to thank you guys for having the dreams for this stuff and making it happen.” “We saw a vision, we love this town,” Investor Todd Thomas said. “The city’s been great, the city council has been great to work with and talk to and some of the local investors … we

didn’t want to see this leave and have other people come in and take money out of our city. We had the vision and a lot of local investors stepped up. We’re excited about the process and for this thing to get going.” D.J. Ellis, a member of the Legend Trail development group, said the con-

versation about building a hotel with local investment began as word came that an outside group of investors was considering building a hotel in Parkersburg. What began with a simple question of if the project was possible developed quickly into something that was going to happen.

Cox, Kalkwarf take reigns at local food pantry By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — An experience hundreds of miles away led a local mother-daughter team to follow the call to help out locally. Sandy Cox and her daughter Megan Kalkwarf recently began serving as directors of the A-P Food Pantry, feeling called after working with Sandy’s sister and Megan’s aunt, Sarah Johnson, in Chicago. “We just both have a heart for serving people,” Cox said. “(Sarah) is associated with a food bank in Chicago and we’ve both worked with her there and Megan really is adamant about helping out here.” “Just the impact it made,” Kalkwarf said of the impact of volunteering at the Chicago food pantry. “Just seeing the people there waiting in line before the doors even opened, knowing that they needed that to get through for another week or so until their checks came through. That’s what did it for me and seeing everyone there and giving their time to help someone have a meal.” Kalkwarf has also seen the need closer to home while working as a crisis councilor in Waterloo. “I already work with a lot of people who use the food bank and I know how important it is,” she said. It was Megan who took the first step after seeing in their church bulletin

that the local pantry was seeking a director to replace Margaret Schuck, who stepped down after leading the pantry for several years. “Knowing that we could lose this and knowing that up to 60 percent of our community uses it, no, it wasn’t going to be lost. We were going to take it over,” Kalkwarf said. Cox said she, too, had thought of stepping forward. “It’s sad to sad that I wanted to but I did not sign up immediately, but my daughter stepped up to be the coordinator and it was just God’s timing and we jumped in together,” she said. “In my heart somehow, some way it would have been taken care of.” Cox said the biggest change that clients will notice is that instead of receiving a food basket each month they will be able to choose what they want. “That’s going to be a transition these next three months, it’s going to take us a minute to get it the way it should be in particular cases so we know what to order for the clients,” she said. “Northeast Iowa Food Bank wants all the area food banks to go this way for less waste.” Both Cox and Kalkwarf commended the way Schuck left the pantry for them and the help she has given. “She has been so helpful,” Cox said. “She’s excited about us trying this new venture and doing it a new way. She has been wonderful, the board has

Margaret has kept excellent records so we just feel that we’re going to take it and build on what she did or just kind of tweak it a little bit. Definitely she laid a strong foundation.” The Aplington-Parkersburg Food Pantry is located on the lower level of the Parkersburg Civic Center. Please call 319-346-1076 from 9 to 11 a.m. on the Wednesday before the Saturday pickup date and let the pantry know that you will be using its services. Talk with Jolyn or leave a message. For

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — A local group is making efforts to keep money used to promote Aplington-Parkersburg athletics local. School Board member and local business owner Dave Schneiderman told the A-P School Board recently that he was tired of seeing money go out of town or out of state to companies that produced items that promoted the school and none of it going back to the school. “Every year the cheerleaders throw stuff out at games,” he explained. “That stuff is solicited from business owners in town by out of state companies. Our school district benefits zero and frankly, looking at it from a business point of view, it’s bad advertising dollars.” Schneiderman sent 154 letters to local businesses inviting businesses to participate in a program with three different levels of activity. Those contributing $150, $250 or $350 received benefits ranging from a contribution to the cost of the footballs and basketballs that cheerleaders distribute, as well as a listing in the paper as a member of the Falcon Pride Club, to that of being a game sponsor and having the name of their business on t-shirts that are distributed at games. So far he said reaction has been positive. “We have enough businesses signed up that we’re going to have to go into wrestling and possibly get some in volleyball,” he said. “At last count I think we had 28 of them. “Every business that wasn’t in the program before that now is, they love it,” Schneiderman said, noting that the club’s fund has about $8,200 at this point. Previously Schneiderman said businesses that make items distributed by the cheerleaders would contact local businesses for their contributions and then keep the profits. Money contributed to the Falcon Pride Club by the businesses will pay for the items distributed by the cheerleaders and will also go into a fund that students involved in various school groups can access for their groups needs. Requests will go to High School Principal Aaron Thomas or Activities Director Jason Berkey, who will decide who gets how much money. “The one that I had somebody ask me about already was they want some portable mirrors that they will use for dance and use for speech and possibly for performing plays and things like that,” Schneiderman said. “Those are the kinds of things that they would have to fundraise for — it might be a little expensive — but they can go now and make this request and at the discretion of the administration and Jason they can either approve it or …” Schneiderman said he also would not be against members of the school’s fine arts groups finding something that they can distribute in the same way that cheerleaders throw out items. He emphasized that the Falcon Pride Club is not taking the place of the booster club which he said “does a fine job.” “This is replacing the stuff that used to be going out of state somewhere,” School Board President Kevin Schipper said. “There are always things that fall out of the norm, like these mirrors,” Superintendent Jon Thompson said. “We could probably buy that with regular funds if the money’s there in any given year … so I’m sure that will be one of the items that Jason and Aaron look at.” Thompson said the companies that traditionally provide the items that are distributed at games do not contact the school for permission to use its name and do not share any of the money they make. “The school’s not contacted, so you don’t really see the money in, money out portion of it,” he said.

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News Review We’ve all heard of wine tasting, craft beer tasting ... even cheese tasting if you look hard enough. But have you ever had a chance to taste a variety of root beers. Such was the case last week as Lynnette and I took a day getaway to Galena, Ill. as we both had some vacation time to use before the end of our respective companies’ fiscal year. Galena is known as a nice little resort town - about the size of Aplington and Parkersburg put together - and features a strip of downtown shops that seems to go on forever. As Lynnette and I got near the end of a walk that put both of us well over our fitness tracker goals for the day we came upon a little shop with a bunch of old-looking pop bottles in the window. We wandered inside to find not a soda fountain, but a fountain featuring five different root beers. These weren’t your ordinary root beers, mind you ... A & W was not on the list. They were the type made by places you probably haven’t heard of (though one was a popular Amana Colonies brand) and each had a unique taste. The fella behind the counter offered to let us try one free or all five for a few dollars ... an offer I could not refuse. He lined up five slightly larger than shot glasses on the counter and I took a taste one by one as he gave me a brief description. He told me the first one had a slightly neutral taste and was his favorite. The second was more bitter, the third a lot more sweet with a hint of honey. The fourth taste was the Amana Colonies brand that I’d had a couple of times before and the fifth was similar to the first ... neutral in taste. I hate to say this, but none were that good. I agreed with the shop keeper that the first was the best, though it wasn’t good enough to drop a 10-spot on for a six pack. The trip itself, which also included a couple of stops in Dubuque, was fun. It was really the first time Lynnette and I have gotten out of town for a day together since the spring, which we both agreed was too long. • • • A couple of weeks ago I wrote about homecomings and how they differ significantly from school to school. Saturday I experienced a homecoming of my own ... at UNI. Lynnette and I went to UNI at the same time, graduating a year apart, though we did not know each other at all. We likely passed each other on campus and she might or might not have read something I wrote in the student-run paper though that would have been the extent of it. And despite living so close to Cedar Falls, neither of us are involved in the Alumni Association. What I’m trying to say is that UNI Homecoming is no big deal to us. That said, when Lynnette came up with a couple of tickets to Hy-Vee’s big pregame party for Saturday’s Homecoming game I was certainly game to go if nothing else came up. We didn’t decide to attend until that afternoon and didn’t decide to go to the game until we were walking through the parking lot watching everyone have such a great time. I’m not at all big on pep rallies ... to be honest I despise them ... but what we found just outside the UNI-Dome can only be described as really, really fun. They had a band playing, food and drink, plenty of room to socialize and relax. As much as I dislike pep rallies, I really enjoy tailgating, and this was much more a tailgate than the former. And it was geared toward alumni like ourselves. Lynnette and I didn’t realize the scope of what we’d gotten into until UNI’s band, cheerleaders and mascots arrived on the scene as well as the university’s athletic director and interim president. We were impressed. By that point I was really glad that we’d decided to go to the game as well ... it would have been pretty hard to get that pumped up for my favorite team and then listen to the game on the radio. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed going to UNI football games until a friend and I started going to a couple of games a year a few years ago and try to get to as many games as I can. As a reporter my job is to remain objective when I’m covering things - in other words I cannot cheer even when I’m excited about what’s happening - so it’s a lot of fun to let loose when I leave the press pass at home. I told Lynnette when we went to our first UNI football game together last year that I felt I had an obligation as a fan to be as loud as I possibly could (at appropriate times) so that I could help our team win. What that means is that I scream at the top of my lungs when something goes well and also when the defense needs a little extra push. I don’t want to walk out of that dome with a voice. That said, I also need to keep my integrity as a Christian, meaning no swearing or carrying on. I developed a philosophy several years ago that I won’t yell anything as a fan that I wouldn’t want a five-year-old to repeat and I stick to it.

Butler County rural flood victims need to take flood debris to county transfer station Rural Butler County residents who have been victims of the recent flooding event need to take their flood debris to the County Transfer Station in Allison. You will need to pay the dumping fee like normal but keep your receipt for reimbursement if the county is federally declared by the President and FEMA. You cannot take your debris to any of the city debris sites. Those sites are for the citizens of those cities and the transfer station has to be the drop off point for rural residents. Also any rural resident that has been

affected by the flooding should call the Butler County Emergency Operations Center and report it. You need to give them your name, address, and type of home ie: one-story, two-story, how many people live there, whether you own the property or rent, and what the damage is to your home. Such as how much water in the basement, water on main floor, any structural damage, etc. If anyone has any questions or needs to report rural flood damage, please call the Butler County Emergency Operations Center at 319-267-9968.

Have you seen it? Do you have it?

Earlier this fall Butler County was ranked very high in the state for the amount of acres in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). I have heard that many more acres were enrolled in the program since then. I am all for conservation but some things I’ve been hearing have made me concerned. CRP is a fantastic program, for areas where growing conditions are less than ideal like river bottoms or sand. Setting those acres aside for conservation (particularly pollinator habitat!) is a great solution. Some land is just better suited to butterflies and bees than corn and beans! I’ve been to a few meetings lately where a certain variety of pigweed has been a topic and it concerns me. To date, 30 counties in Iowa have been identified as having Palmer amaranth. Six of those counties had it introduced through conventional farm operations. The other 24 had it brought in through the establishment of native seed mixes used for conservation purposes including cover crops and CRP. Our number one priority should be and needs to be the reduction or prevention of Palmer amaranth seed production. While very likely there’s already some viable seed around here, the amount of seed production can be drastically reduced with early detection. The preferred method is physical removal of individual Palmer amaranth plants and hand removal and destruction of plants early is a viable tactic to use. Another option is mowing, but this method is not highly effective on larger Palmer amaranth plants, especially ones that weren’t mowed earlier in the year. In fact mowing can actually worsen the situation by “pushing over” Palmer amaranth into surrounding fields where it disperses its seed. The problem with this weed is that it doesn’t know where CRP ground ends and crop ground begins and there is no known herbicide to kill it! According to a report from University of Tennessee Extension, the pigweed family, including Palmer amaranth, cost Tennessee farmers $120 million in 2011. A single female plant typically produces 100,000 to 500,000 seeds. VERY. SMALL. SEEDS. With all the CRP acres that will be seeded down in the near future, landowners will need to be very diligent in monitoring their ground and pulling out any Palmer amaranth seen. CRP ground will also need to be mowed several times a year; this doesn’t kill this weed, however! One way to tell if the weed you are looking at is Palmer amaranth is to break off a leaf and bend the petiole over the leaf. The petiole from Palmer amaranth is as long as or longer than mature leaves. These leaves are oval to diamond shaped and the seed head of this weed can be up to 3 feet long! If you are a landowner establishing CRP acres this year it will be up to you to monitor for this weed. I can assure you that you will have some mighty upset neighbors if Palmer amaranth is discovered in their crop ground and it originated from your CRP ground. The way Palmer amaranth has been described to me is “water hemp on steroids”! Let’s all watch closely and be proactive in the elimination of this weed in Butler County!

Public Invited to ‘Walk with a Doc’ GRUNDY CENTER - Everyone is invited to take a step toward better health by joining the new ‘Walk with a Doc’ program sponsored by Grundy County Memorial Hospital and physician Dr. Eric Neverman. The year-round walking program has more than 200 chapters across the country as part of an effort that pairs doctors with members of their community to encourage increased physical activity in people of all ages. The first Grundy County walk is scheduled for Wednesday, October 5, at 12:00 noon to coincide with Iowa’s Healthiest State walk. Walk with a Doc begins at the UnityPoint Clinic entrance, 101 East J Avenue in Grundy Center, and will continue to the Pioneer Trail and return to the clinic parking lot. Each monthly gathering

will begin with a brief health topic discussion, led by the doctor, before the walk gets underway. “My interest in starting Walk with a Doc locally was to highlight the importance of incorporating regular physical activity into one’s lifestyle,� says Dr. Neverman, who joined UnityPoint Clinic – Grundy Center Family Medicine recently. “Various chronic health conditions encountered in the clinic are related to a sedentary lifestyle. Adding physical activity can be as simple as getting outside for a walk. I hope our monthly community walks can help demonstrate the benefits of walking.� The walk is open to everyone, says Dr. Neverman, and he believes the Walk with a Doc program is an effective way for him to become acquaint-

ed with community members while people also get a chance to get to know him outside of the doctor’s office. The first Walk with a Doc program began in Columbus, Ohio, more than ten years ago, and was the brainchild of David Sabre, M.D., a cardiologist. It’s based on data that shows walking for as little as thirty minutes a day can reduce the risk for heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, while improving blood pressure and blood sugar levels and elevating your mood. Its mission is to encourage healthy physical activity in people of all ages, improving the health and well-being of the country. The Grundy County Walk with a Doc effort is among 10 walks offered in Iowa. “The monthly walks are easy to join, require no special equipment, and are

free,� says Grundy County Memorial Hospital Health Promotion manager Crystal Petersen RDN LD. “Walking is low impact, so almost everyone can enjoy its benefits,� remarks Petersen. “We encourage everyone to join us on Oct. 5 to kick off Walk with a Doc, and participate in the Healthiest State Initiative statewide walk – all at the same time.� Future Walk with a Doc walks are scheduled for November 2, December 7, and January 7, 2017. For future receive walk information, phone 319-824-4161 or email brenda.schmidt@unitypoint.org. The GCMH website also lists Walk with a Doc dates, times, and locations.

Be sure eye protection doesn’t interfere with your vision and thoroughly clean after every use. Many articles stressed the fact that contacts should NEVER be worn at this time.

To dispose of gloves, cut the fingers off the glove so no one will attempt to use them again. Wear clean clothes daily and launder clothes used for pesticide work daily.

Chemical Safety By NANCY JENSEN Every year Butler County Extension and Outreach hosts Private Pesticide Applicator Trainings to help farmers become more aware of the danger of the chemicals they are working with. Farm chemicals include pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and fertilizer and they can enter a person’s body by absorption through the skin, or through breathing. Up to 97% of chemical spraying exposure happens through contact with the skin. Part of our PPAT stresses to farmers the necessity of checking labels and

wearing the correct Personal Protective Equipment. Each container label has specific requirements for PPE based on ingredients in the chemical. Because sprayers sometimes have a tendency to break down on the job, be sure to stop, shut off sprayer, drive ahead to dry plants, get out and fix the problem then back up, turn sprayer on and continue. This will decrease the amount of chemical you breathe in. Be sure chemicals are locked up away from where kids can get to them. Store chemicals in their original con-

Tool Time Kicked off Wednesday, Sept. 28 with over 50 kids in attendance. They enjoyed comedic magician, Rick Brammer and learned a lot about magic tricks. They checked out books, Legos and games to take home. They also made bats, but many were left at the library so they are decorating one of the windows. The next After School Tool Time is October 19. Thanks to the help of adult and student volunteers that help make this program FUN!

Hotel from page 1 “When you look at this community, this community has a lot to offer,” he said. “When you look at the development and all the things that are going on with the number of houses that are going up, the grocery store, Diamonds and Fields – kudos to Dave Cleary and Dan Bruns and especially to Matt Waller for thinking that through. That’s one more piece of the puzzle that this community needs to grow. “The motel fits,” Ellis continued. “It’s one more thing that fits for the community. And it’s good for the surrounding communities.” He pointed to Aplington-Parkersburg High School and spoke of how the School Board elected not just to rebuild what they had before the 2008 tornado but that they looked to the future as they build a new, futuristic school. “And I think because of that is why all these other things are happening,” Ellis said. “People want to be part of the Aplington-Parkersburg center. I’m excited about it, I know Todd’s really excited about it and the other investors that are involved. And I don’t think we’re done. I think there’s a lot more things that we can do in this community. That’s our intent.”

Ellis also noted that without the city’s support the project would not be happening. “The city did a phenomenal job getting behind us,” he said. “Without that happening this doesn’t happen. We don’t have it here.” The City agreed to provided TIF incentives to the hotel developers. Though final totals have not been set, the City Council approved a request by developers at the May 2 meeting for a combination of a 10-year, 75 percent tax rebate plus upfront tax increment finance funds of $193,420 for a combined total amount of $600,000 subject to specific conditions being met by the developers. “As a city we try to do everything we can to make things a reality,” Bernard said Monday. “Hopefully we’re doing our job to help you guys out.” Thomas said the process to get to the groundbreaking took a lot of time. He said Economic Development Director Janice Johnson was a huge help in getting things done. “She gave us a ton of information about what we were looking for,” he said. “She really helped push whole process along and we couldn’t have done it without her.”

Ty Ty absolutely loves dinosaurs so much that he knew how to spell the word dinosaurs before he went to Kindergarten! Therefore his favorite food is chicken nuggets in the shape of a dinosaur, his favorite book is about dinosaurs, and he likes to write about dinosaurs in school! After school you can find Ty watching his favorite movie Ghost Busters or at his grandma’s house playing baseball. But his grandma isn’t a very good pitcher so he doesn’t get to hit the ball much. When he grows up he wants to be farmer who drives John Deere tractors.

Noah My name is Noah and I am five years old. I have a twin sister, two older brothers and two older sisters.I have two cats named Hershey and Frisco. Some of my favorites are: blue, Superman, cheesy potatoes, applesauce, wrestling and basketball. When I am at home I like to play with my toys. When I am at school I like to go to the gym. Something I have learned in kindergarten is how to be quiet when teachers are talking. When I grow up I want to be an airplane pilot.

From the Falcons Desk Teacher Leadership Compensation

Here’s our next Costa Rican word....

By SILAS BARRETT and MADISON OLDENBURGER What is TLC? Teacher Leadership Compensation is a program that improves student learning by improving the instruction they receive every day. The Iowa General Assembly approved $50 million dollars to apply TLC to all of Iowa’s school districts. As of March 2016 all of Iowa’s 333 school districts applied for TLC. The plan is to help our school by improving the student’s learning. The Aplington-Parkersburg School district applied to get TLC funding with the plan to use it to bring experienced teachers back into the classrooms. These teachers help more inexperienced teachers fine tune their

Julia Schiller is another student that is going on our A-P Costa Rica trip next summer. She’s holding a sign with our Costa Rican word for the week “mae,” which can also be “maje.” This word is used with a friend and means “dude” or “guy.” It is heard all throughout the country in everyday conversations.

Library Competitions By RILEY ELLERMANN This year, the Aplington-Parkersburg High School librarians are having a little fun with all the students. Mrs. Staci Brungard and Mrs. Jonna Junker have been holding competitions in the library. The first week of school the competition was guessing how many chocolate footballs were in a jar. Clara Peteren came in with the win. Just last Andrew Haan, another junior going on the trip to Costa Rica next summer is holding a sign that says “Marcar.” This is a verb that normally means “to mark, scratch, score a point, or dial” has a totally different meaning for Costa Ricans. It means “to flirt.” So when we have a student with the name “Marco” it could be translated as “I flirt.” Marco Polo must have a totally different meaning in Costa Rica.

week they photocopied pages out of a book, and cut it up and put them in the jar. Using only the little strips of the pages, students had to guess the title of the book. Bryce Hoeppner was the winner, correctly identifying the novel. We can’t wait to see what else Mrs. Brungard and Mrs. Junker have in store for the rest of the year!

Fort Dodge Band Competition By CHYNE NEYMEYER The Aplington-Parkersburg High School band competes in many competitions. On September 24th the band loaded the buses and headed to Fort Dodge for a band competition. They started their day with a rehearsal at the school, then when they got to Fort Dodge, they met up with two judges for a 90 minute clinical. At 5:15 the band took the field to compete and earned 2nd place. There are six judges for each band: marching and maneuvering general effect, music general

effect (both judged from the press box), marching and maneuvering execution, music execution, color guard, and percussion. Mr.Mahler remarked, “[The band is] continuing to improve the show and clean the music and the marching drill. This has been a very good season so far!” On October 1st The band also competed at the Five Seasons Invitational in Cedar Rapids, and on October 8th they will be traveling back to Fort Dodge to compete at the Iowa High School Music Association State Marching Contest.

One of Costa Rica’s most interesting phrases is “Me da taco,” which literally means “you give me taco.” Collin Johnson, another junior going on the trip to Costa Rica next summer, is holding the sign for the week. What this expression means to Costa Ricans is “I’m scared.” It would be interesting to find out how THIS phrase about a taco turned into being scared.

Food class explores salsa This year, the Foods I class learned how to can salsa. The class had tomatoes donated and they worked together to chop, mix and cook the salsa before canning. Canning has become a lost art with all of today’s conveniences. Most students were unaware of how simple it is to take fresh ingredients and create something they consume on a regular basis. They can now take these skills back home and make this again on

their own or with other family members. Each person was able to take a pint of salsa home to have their family try. The salsa was yummy and the family members must have enjoyed it as well, as empty jars were starting to be returned within 2 days. If you would like a copy of our salsa recipe, send an email to erin.heuer@a-pcsd. net and we will get it to you.

High School Job Shadows/ Internship Program By KASSI RICE Cedar Valley West is off to a running start this year with over 70 requests for job shadows in the first week. At this time, 32 students are taking advantage of the internship program. These numbers reflect the participation of all four CVW school districts, Aplington-Parkersburg, Dike-New Hartford, Gladbrook-Reinbeck, and Grundy Center. The job shadow sign-up process was new to the students this year. The reason for the change was to better equip the local cedar valley businesses and contacting them for requests a couple of times a year as opposed to many times a week/month. All students who are interested in shadowing during the 1st and 2nd trimester needed to sign up and have paperwork completed by Friday, September 23. Every junior and senior can have up to 3 shadows a year coordinated by Cedar Valley

West. Mrs. Ascher (cedar valley west coordinator) also plans on scheduling events for certain career pathways again this year. Those events include: • Advanced Manufacturing Tour Week - Oct. 3-7 • STEM Tour Week - Nov. 7-11 • Information Technology Tour Week - Jan. 30-Feb. 3 • Healthcare Tour Week - Feb. 27Mar. 3 • Construction Tour Week - Apr. 2428 Monday, October 10th Mrs. Ascher will be arranging worksite tours for staff members so they have an opportunity to get outside of the classroom and see what is happening in the business/industry world. This will take place in the morning and will provide them opportunities to bring what they learn into the classroom in effort to better prepare students.

Homecoming Results By SILAS BARRETT Every homecoming the Aplington-Parkersburg High School students compete with each other, grade against grade, in decoration of walls, floats, windows throughout Parkersburg and Aplington, and a skit that each grade performs at the coronation.

The results for the floats are; 1st place juniors, 2nd place seniors, 3rd place freshman, and 4th place sophomores.

The results for the windows are 1st place seniors, 2nd place juniors, 3rd place sophomores, and 4th freshman.

instructional strategies. This was done to help teachers improve their teaching skills and the students’ learning as well. Mr. Aaron Thomas, the Aplington-Parkersburg high school principal, stated that the purpose of TLC is, “to help improve the structure of learning in the classroom.” The new TLC roles at the high school include Mrs. Paula Buchholz as the Mentoring and Induction Lead, Mr. Al Kerns and Mrs. Mary Sullivan as Instructional Coaches. Additionally, Mr. Adam Wauters, Mr. Cory Goetsch, Ms. Erin Heuer, Mrs. Angie Schrage, and Mr. Gary Flanigan make up the Professional Development team and Mr. Cory Goetsch is Tech Lead for the high school.

Alert Iowa By CHYNE NEYMEYER Recently, KWWL discontinued their messaging alert system that notified users of closings and cancellations throughout their viewing area. Due to this, the Aplington-Parkersburg School District will now use Alert Iowa. Alert Iowa has an online form that parents can fill out to activate the service. The Alert Iowa system is provided by Butler County free of charge. To sign up for this messaging igo online to http://entry.inspironlogistics. com/butler_ia/wens.cfm. The students

have also received an email from Kelly with the form enclosed. The school decided to do this because they were concerned on how to let staff, students, and parents know about late starts, early dismissals, and canceled days due to bad weather. They plan to notify of school cancellations as well as important information to the community; however they will not be sending out daily messages. Mr. Eilderts plans to send out step-by-step information on how parents can sign up for the service.

‘Things’ don’t last I recently tossed two radio-controlled toy aircraft in the garbage can, a large helicopter and a mini quad copter. I had some fun with each, but eventually both malfunctioned and my aircraft maintenance skills weren’t up to the challenge of getting them airborne again. After unceremoniously dumping them in the garbage can I reminisced about my delight when each had been delivered to my front door from Amazon and how I had carefully removed each from their box with great anticipation of the good times I was going to have flying them. The two toys in the trash reminded me all over again that things don’t last. I’ve also been reminded of this truth whenever I see a truck carrying a dozen or so squashed old cars pancaked on top of each other on their way from the junkyard to the recycling facility. Each of those vehicles had, at one time, been driven off a dealership lot by a proud and excited owner breathing in the new car aroma. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that “things” are bad. They aren’t. It’s just that we often depend too much on possessions to provide pleasure. We can possess possessions, but the danger is that they can possess us! God’s put us in a real world where we are to build, use, work with, and play with tangible objects such as houses, cars, lawnmowers, TVs, toasters, boats, and hundreds of other items. But my tossed toys reminded me yet again that our “stuff” is to be a part of our lives, not the essence of our lives. God is the ultimate giver of all our possessions. We’re to see them as gifts from Him, give thanks to Him for them, and keep them in proper perspective; but our greatest delight is to be found in the Gift Giver Himself! “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Jesus in Matthew 6:19-21)

Love. What is it? How do we show it? How does it feel to either g receive it? Love = “try it, you’ll like it.” While Jesus was walking and teaching here on the Earth, He was constantly being challenged by those who doubted Him. It is still happening today as well. One time, He was questioned , “what is the greatest commandment?” Jesus replied that to love God with all of your heart, soul, and mind was the greatest, and to love your neighbor as yourself was the second. If you did these two commands, basically you would do the full sum of following after God. Twice a year in Elgin, we have a “Love Elgin” day where many churches and services come together to reach out to the area with care. You may remember me telling you about this last spring when it happened. There is food and clothing , medical care and dentiststry, bike repair and services, legal advice and counseling, etc. It is an honor to play a part in it and to see people coming together to share love. As I said there is a whole lot of food which is given to give away. People fill up tote boxes full after going through a large line of all sorts of items. Many of the people coming need help carrying their boxes because they can become quite heavy. if you have several, then you may really be in a fix. So as my contribution to helping during the day, I helped to carry the boxes along the line and then up the 15 steps (believe me, I know!) and out to their cars. Porters are what we were called and we signed up to work for a 3 hour shift. You should have seen all of the big smiles after the people received their food. You were allowed a certain quantity depending upon how many people were in your family. I can remember one person of whom I think we carried out 4 large boxes of food for her family of 8 or 10. All along the stations, prayer was being offered for the people coming through, either willingly by asking them at a prayer station, or silently as we served them with our love. To love God and to love people - it is a true blessing. Let’s get out there and share God’s love today.

FFA Harvest Meal By KASSI RICE On October 26th the Aplington-Parkersburg FFA will be hosting a harvest meal. The purpose of the Harvest meal is to provide area farmers with a meal while they are busy in the fields. In previous years, the FFA has prepared and delivered sack lunches to the local elevators for farmers to pick up. This year we have decided to switch it up a bit. If you are interested in meals being delivered to you in the

fields, or at your farm please contact Josie McQuillen (A-P FFA Advisor) at the high school (319) 346-1571 or email Kassi Rice (Chapter President) at kassi.rice@a-pcsd.net. The FFA looks forward to giving back to our local farmers. Knowing how hard they work especially this time of year a nice warm meal is the least we can do! We look forward to preparing a lot of meals this year!

Aswegen serving as R.A. at Northwestern College ORANGE CITY, Iowa—Celsey Aswegen is serving as a resident assistant (R.A.) for the 2016–17 school year at Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa. Resident assistants serve as leaders in the residence halls or campus apartments. Responsibilities include establishing a sense of unity among students in their living area, assisting new students in adjusting to campus life, and serving as role models. Resident assistants are selected based on their leadership ability, character and academic performance. Aswegen is a junior and is majoring in psychology at Northwestern College. She is a resident assistant in Fern Smith Hall. Aswegen is the daughter of Bryon and Renise Aswegen of Parkersburg. Northwestern College is a Christian college of more than 1,250 students in Orange City, Iowa. Rated a top-10 Midwestern college by U.S. News & World Report magazine, Northwestern provides an education committed to academic rigor and a Christ-centered worldview.

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, though Grundy County sponsored the Bible Reading Marathon from Sept. 6-11. Seventh- and eighth-graders from Timothy Christian School, along with teachers Rebecca Johnson and Michelle Cox, participated on Tuesday morning from 9 to 10:30 a.m. This

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.�

On Wednesday, Sept. 28 Timothy students and staff, like many other students across the nation, gathered at their flagpole to pray as part of See You At The Pole (SYATP) that occurs on the last Wednesday of September every year. It was a beautiful thing to hear children’s voices lifting up A-P Appliance prayers for their country, the election, our military, flood victims and Heating & Cooling their school.

HOLIDAY HACKS:

Simple seasonal solutions FAMILY FEATURES

T

he air is getting cooler, leaves are changing colors and days are getting shorter. All of these seasonal changes signal that the holidays are fast approaching. While many people love gathering with family and friends at this time of the year, entertaining can take the jolly out of the holiday. This year, take the stress out of hosting with these five simple holiday hacks. Buy in Bulk. One month before your holiday gathering, buy nuts – almonds, pistachios, walnuts – in bulk. Pour the nuts into screw-top mason jars, label with brightly colored tape and store in your pantry. When guests stop by, bring out a few jars, unscrew and serve with seasonal cider. Candy Cane Lane. Candy cane flakes work wonders – from holiday drinks to topping off cakes and ice cream. Crush candy canes in a blender or smash between paper towels and store in an airtight container. Simply sprinkle for seasonal ease and festive yum. Double Duty. Buy flavorful refrigerated salad dressings – think sriracha or ranch – and use to top salads or potatoes, or as a quick, delicious dip. One jar offers many solutions. Bee Smart. Be prepared for unexpected gift-giving moments and keep several simple and affordable gifts on hand. Pour local honey into mini mason jars, wrap the neck with holiday twine and include a message that works for all, “Have a BEE-autiful Holiday.� Tis the Seasons. For entertainment ease, keep versatile products on hand, like Simply Artisan Reserve Simple Seasons, a soft, finely crumbled cheese in a shakable jar. Sprinkle the cheese on flatbreads, sliders, desserts and more – and enjoy the flavor in every bite. With just 15 minutes of prep, you can make a seasonal dessert that looks like you spent all day in the kitchen. For more recipes, visit litehousefoods.com.

Wolverines survive swift test at South Hardin By SCOTT BIERLE Mid-America Publishing ELDORA — District co-leader Dike-New Hartford survived a stiff challenge by the South Hardin football team and walked away a 23-12 winner here Friday during Class 2A, District 3 play. The visiting Wolverines scored the game’s final 13 points to escape and improved to 4-0 the district (4-2 overall). The game winner was a one-yard touchdown plunge by Dike-NH’s Tanner Smith in the final stages of the third quarter. After the two-point pass was denied the Wolverines led 16-12. Like most of the night, the drive featured senior standout Trent Johnson. He accounted for 61 of the drive’s 62 yards, including a 50-yard dash to the one. The touchdown countered South Hardin’s six-pointer just three minutes earlier when Ryland Duchane found the end zone on a six-yard run. After a bad snap on the extra point attempt the Tigers were up 12-10. The march was 45-yards and set-up with a partially blocked punt by Kevin Rewoldt. First down runs of 14-yards for Jeff Thompson and 12 by Tyrell Todd fueled the effort. The loss evened the Tigers’ season marks at 2-2 in the district and 3-3 overall. South Hardin shares third in the district with Saydel and Collins-Maxwell-Baxter. The Wolverines sealed the victory late when Clayton Mapel returned a punt to paydirt with 2:35 showing. Mapel scooped up the football at the Tiger 41-yard line, dashed to the sideline, turned the corner and sprinted to the end zone. “They (South Hardin) have a nice team,� stated Dike-New Hartford coach Don Betts. “It was a physical game and we knew it would be. You have to come to play every night in this district. This district may not get a lot of respect statewide, but we have a lot of good teams.� Both defenses made plays late. South Hardin stopped Johnson at the two-yard line on fourth and goal, and then Dike-NH held the hosts to three short runs, forced the punt and Mapel sealed the victory. “We did a lot of good things tonight, but we made a couple mistakes and good teams will make you pay,� South Hardin coach Barry Scott said. “We worked in practice on the cutback because we knew Johnson likes that and we didn’t do a good job on that at times,� he added. Dike-NH’s first possession ended with a 29-yard field goal by Jackson Lage at the 4:39 mark of the first quarter. The Wolverines had reached the three, but a holding penalty stall the march. The two teams then traded touchdowns in the second period. South Hardin scored first on a one-yard dive by Jeff Thompson. The 85-yard drive was highlighted by a 70-yard pass play from Kolten Rewoldt to a sprinting Logan Spindler at midfield and he was finally caught at the five. The Wolverines then took advantage of a South Hardin turnover and led 10-6 at halftime. After recovering a fumble at the Tiger 22, Johnson scored on the first play from scrimmage, carrying several South Hardin defenders most of the 22-yards and into the end

zone. Johnson, who entered Friday as the state’s 2A leading rusher at 1,063 yards, added to that with a 277-yard effort on 33 carries. He had nine carries of 10 or more yards. “He is our bread-and-butter. Trent is a special player that has the potential to break a big play everytime he touches the ball,� Betts noted. South Hardin generated 198 total yards with 128 rushing to go with the 70 yard pass play. Thompson led the rushing with 40 yards on 14 tries with 31 for Hunter Nessa and 30 for Spindler. Rewoldt was 1-of-7 passing with two interceptions. “You have to be at the top of your game against a district favorite and we didn’t execute every single down. I thought the effort and attitude was good, we just didn’t execute every down,� said Scott. The Wolverines had manhandled the first three district opponents by a combined score of 137-13. The Tigers’ tackle chart was again headlined by Dane Butler at 13 tackles with nine solos. Butler entered Friday the state’s 2A tackle leader. Alex Gustafson had eight tackles with six unassisted followed by seven for Duchane, and six for Thompson, Seth Lindaman and Kevin Rewoldt. South Hardin stays home and welcomes West Marshall to Eldora Friday for Homecoming. West Marshall was a 51-16 winner over East Marshall Friday for the district’s first victory. Dike-New Hartford plays for the outright district lead Friday when Roland-Story visits Dike. The 5-1 Norseman improved to 4-0 in the district with an impressive 42-14 victory over Aplington-Parkersburg. Dike-NH 3 7 6 7 — 23 S.

By NANCY JENSEN Being safe around farm machinery is important all year around but during Farm Safety & Health Week it’s a good time to review some of the steps involved. The improper use of farm machinery is the source of most injuries or fatalities on American farms and ranches according to a study by Kansas State University. The study stated eight steps to be a safe machinery operator. Be aware of hazards around you. Be prepared by replacing worn parts promptly and doing daily pre-operational checks. Read the Operator’s Manual that comes with an equipment purchase. If missing, contact your dealer to get one. Shield all moving parts. Equipment manufacturers design machinery with safety in mind. Respect PTO and hydraulics. Any piece of machinery powered by these two methods is inherently dangerous. Shut it off before doing any kind of repair or maintenance to the machinery.

Watch yourself and avoid hazardous jobs when feeling ill or distracted. Fatigue and stress cause many accidents. Use machinery only for its intended purpose. New farm machinery comes equipped from the factory with many safety features. The variety of warning, caution and instructional decals placed on machinery are placed there for YOUR safety. Injuries and deaths happen when guards are removed, broken or torn off during operation and warnings are not followed. You cannot win a strength or speed contest with a machine! Special guidelines for working around PTO’s include: Fully shield PTO drivelines Never attempt to step over a rotating PTO Never try to operate tractor controls from rear of tractor Never wear loose baggy clothing around a PTO Keep long hair pulled back Keep your distance from a rotating PTO

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review STORY CITY — Roland-Story rebounded from a second-quarter deficit to send Aplington-Parkersburg to its third straight loss Friday night, 42-14 in Story City. The Norsemen (5-1 overall, 4-0 in Class 2A, District 3) trailed into the final minute of the first half before scoring the game’s final 35 points. Aplington-Parkersburg (2-4 overall, 1-3 in district play) struggled offensively, finishing with just 200 total yards. The Falcons averaged less than four yards per rush and completed just 4 of their 16 passes. Sam Thorn paced A-P with 48 rushing yards while Chase Kling added 45. Roland-Story hit the Falcons with a balanced attack. Quarterback Brett Staton threw for 161 yards while completing 11-of-15 passes and also ran for 66 yards. Primary Norseman running back Caleb Schlatter finished with a game-high 147 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The Falcons opened the scoring late in the first quarter on a one-yard Sam Thorn run. The conversion pass failed. Roland-Story took its first lead two minutes later on a Schlatter run and the point-after kick before A-P re-gained the lead on a Riley Barrett 20-yard run and Carter Cuvelier conversion pass to Coby Hoff. Roland-Story pulled within a point on Schlatter’s second scoring run of the game but missed the point-after kick and still trailed by a point. It took the lead and the momentum on the first of Staton’s three touchdown passes just 30 seconds before halftime. The second half was all Norsemen. A 26-yard scoring pass extended the lead to 28-14 eight minutes into the third quarter and another touchdown pass less than two minutes into the fourth made it a 35-14 game. R-S’ final touchdown of the game came on a 70-yard interception return. Aplington-Parkersburg wraps up the home part of its schedule Friday night

when it hosts Collins-Maxwell-Baxter (CMB). Roland-Story visits DikeNew Hartford in a battle of teams tied for the District 3 lead.
