Hardin County is part of rural roads study by Rick Patrie News Editor HARDIN COUNTY – Hardin County has been chosen as one of five rural counties in Iowa to become part of a year long study to find inexpensive but effective ways to make secondary roads safer. After analyzing ten years of crash data and safety belt usage information, five rural counties in the state were identified to participate in this project. Did you know in 2015, 72 percent of fatal crashes in Iowa occurred on secondary rural roads? Within Iowa, rural roads make up approximately 90,000 miles, 79 percent of the total roadways. For the next 12 months officials in Hardin County and the Iowa State Patrol will be participating in a new initiative called “High Five Rural Traffic Safety Program” (High 5) to improve traffic safety of Iowa’s rural roadways. The High 5 is the vision of the Iowa Department of Public Safety, Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau. The High 5 project will involve enforcement, engineering and education with the ultimate goal to build a safer community. Through enforcement, media and community outreach, participating agencies will work to educate drivers on the benefits of complying with traffic laws, especially Iowa’s seat belt law. From an engineering aspect, the focus will be to identify

The Challenge
The Barlow Family Foundation challenge to benefit county projects continues up to October 17. It’s your chance to support the recreational trails project, the Eldora nature park project, the county sheriff’s K-9 project or the Iowa Falls-Alden FFA project. Your donation is matched in each case. Contact the Iowa Falls State Bank for details on the challenge campaign.
low cost improvements throughout the county to make the roadways safer. During 2015, there were 320 fatalities in the state of Iowa. Even though Iowa has seen fatalities slowly decrease, it is also important to recognize the number of serious injuries sustained in traffic crashes. Hardin County Sheriff, County Engineer and the Iowa State Patrol staff will be among the safety advocates who will team up for this project. Rural roads are shared by a variety of vehicle types from passenger vehicles to large machinery and other farm implement traveling at slower speeds. Organizers of the project say that with the harvest season upon us, everyone needs to be especially cognizant when driving on rural roadways. Enforcement efforts on roadways with higher volumes are common, but with Iowa’s percentage of rural fatalities above the national average, an approach directing efforts toward rural safety has become a major concern. Organizers say communities like Hardin County can work toward the common goal of reducing deaths and serious injuries both though systemic and behavioral approaches. The High 5 project began on October 1, 2016 and will conclude on September 30, 2017.

Apple crop was a survivor and thriver By Rick Patrie News Editor HARDIN COUNTY – The Iowa Secretary of Agriculture wants you to go out and visit your neighborhood apple orchard – and the Fevolds, Mark and Lynnette at Apple Ridge Orchard on the east side of Iowa Falls, couldn’t agree more with the secretary. It was a lucky year, the growers there will tell you. Things could have gone very wrong. A freeze in the middle of April should have easily produced results like those back in 2012, when the apple crop across much of the state was stunted, if not wrecked, by an untimely cold night. This year, too, the trees were in full bloom when temperatures got
City studies ambulance building options By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – The Eldora city council faces two construction scenarios addressing the need for a new ambulance and emergency medical crew headquarters. One, which came through city hall channels, looks to build a wholly new center and to try and locate it somewhere more central in the community. City hall says the job can be done for significantly less than the $2.5 million top end working estimate on the proposal. A second proposal submitted by an Eldora man would have the city take advantage of space in the old town hospital building, and augment those resources with a newly constructed ambulance service garage at the hospital site. Eldora resident, Sam Estes, presented the council with that option Monday night during a public hearing into the city administration’s proposal. Estes talked to the Newspapers later and said he didn’t want to be premature in floating an actual cost figure on his idea – not before having an engineer price out his alternative. But, he said he was “absolutely sure it could be done for a fraction of the cost” for the administration’s proposal. (continued on page 3)
NOTE; The city said late last week that it was going to engage a structural engineer for an assessment of the old hospital building and then judge the feasibility of a scaled back ambulance service project suggested by Eldora resident Sam Estes (See story left). City administrator Bruce Bierema said the city wants to engage the engineers as soon as possible. The city administration itself has advanced a plan for a totally new emergency medical center relocated somewhere else in the community. Estes has proposed construction of a garage similar in size to the city proposal’s, but suggests a much-scaled back version of the administrative spaces involved. He’d have the whole project integrated into existing space in the old city hospital center. Either way, the city would like to get going on with construction in the spring of next year. It is worth noting that the ambulance service is self funding, operating on its own, not tax revenues. The project would be paid off similarly. The city has recently been mulling some type of renovation or rebuilding. Crews say the newer vehicles barely fit into the current garage space, and even at that the current garage only accommodates two ambulances, a third is stored off-site.
down to 26 and stayed there well past the interval needed for damage. But there were none of the widespread losses this season. Instead, the Fevolds say they have one of the biggest yields ever. The one complication was that the apples have been dropping a little faster than normal, probably due to the stress of so much rain and spates of high winds in recent weeks leading up to picking. The Fevold’s have been at this for 30 years. Lynette says that the one-time cattle and crop farming family got into the apple business and taught themselves the trade. “Ours was a sort of a seat of the pants learning curve.” They are looking at 1,400 bushels
Halloween at the nature center
this year compared to about 300 that terrible year of 2012. The Fevold’s have family members who come in for the harvest and work the retail sales site on the east side of the city. They are already well into picking the October portion of the crop. The harvest is in some ways a couple of weeks ahead of the curve. Apples are the feature, but there are also pumpkins and other seasons offerings. Both of the Fevolds have jobs outside the orchard, too. So they operate a business schedule of Monday through Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the summer, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. fall hours. Iowa says eat your apples Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill
Northey today encouraged Iowans to get out and enjoy Iowa apples, pumpkins and other fall produce by visiting one of the many farms that sell directly to consumers or at the local farmers market. Timely rains and a warm September have helped produce a plentiful apple and pumpkin crop in Iowa. “Visiting a local apple orchard or pumpkin patch give you an opportunity to enjoy the freshest locally grown produce and also help support these hard working families and give them the chance to showcase their farm,” Northey said. “We are hearing reports of very good apple and pumpkin crops across the state and now is the time to get out (continued on page 4)

City talks ambulance building options (continued from page 1)
Over 100 little artists were unleashed on Gunderson Park this past week. They got their work in ahead of the rain. They were out of class for an hour to help engender some support for the Gunderson Nature Park in Eldora. The Gunderson project, under the auspices of the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation is due for matching funds from the Iowa Falls Barlow Foundation, participating in a special challenge grant solicitation this week. Commitments made to the park project will be matched by the Iowa Falls foundation, up through October 17.
Projects spotlight themselves for ‘Challenge’ finale
by Rick Patrie News Editor HARDIN COUNTY – Two local participants in the Barlow Family Foundation challenge have some special events coming up designed to enlist their supporters in donations that will count toward the Barlow matching grants. The Iowa River Trail group has a Saturday, October 15 Sneak Peak Fat Bike Breakfast Ride with breakfast at 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and the ride during any time of your choice between 8 a.m. and noon. It is a good chance to discover the sights along the future 34 mile Iowa River Trail. You can ride, walk or just come for the breakfast. The Barlow Foundation will match any gift you give the cause up to $100. There is a $25 minimum donation to the cause. Then the Trails group plans another sneak peek, this time by jeep, a jeep tour on Sunday October 16, with hour long tours running from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. for a $25 minimum donation. You can call Thrivent Financial at 641-858-2050 to reserve a seat. Again, the Barlow Foundation will match your gift up to $100. GUNDERSON PARK
Meanwhile the Gunderson Park project in Eldora, which is also on the Barlow Family challenge list this year, engaged the E-NP third through fifth grade children in a little art in the park on Thursday last week. See the photo. The kids got a supply of chalk and instructions to draw what they imagined, just keep the theme in tune with the nature park under development at the town’s northeast side. The Barlow Family Foundation window of opportunity runs until October 17, during which time any contribution you make to one of four challenge projects will be matched by the Iowa Falls based philanthropy. It is in the fourth-year of its matching-funds challenge and three of the four projects standing to
benefit in 2016 are addressed to this part of the county. The fund raising window runs from October 3-17 and includes four area groups that were recently chosen by the Barlow board. Featured this year will be the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office which is financing the addition of a k-9 police dog to the unit, the Hardin County Trail Commission which is developing the recreation trail between Steamboat Rock and Marshalltown, the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation which is supporting the Gunderson Nature Park project and the Iowa FallsAlden FFA. Since 2002, the Foundation has given more than 1.1 million dollars to area groups. The Barlow Family Foundation
was established to continue the personal philanthropy of Robert W. and Jerene Barlow, which they practiced in the Iowa Falls area during their lifetimes. It is run as the philanthropic arm of the Iowa Falls State Bank, which the Barlow family still owns today. The foundation engages in a number of other philanthropic projects regularly, but each year it also conducts the challenge project that matches contributions to chosen programs, effectively doubling the benefit to the recipient groups. Time to help your favorite project is running out. The challenge continues only until October 17. Contact the Iowa Falls State Bank to choose a project to support.
He said his proposal would still have the same space for parking four ambulance vehicles, but it would scale back construction designed to enlarge the meeting room for ambulance staff. He said it would still enlarge accommodations for sleep-over’s by crewmembers, but likely scale them back from what the administrations proposal envisions. Estes said the big difference would lie in using and incorporating space already under roof at the hospital complex. Estes said than the city invested upwards of a million dollars in renovating the hospital building and he said this represents an opportunity to make use of that property more fully. Right now several medical services use a north wing of the old hospital, while a long south wing has essentially been mothballed while the city looks and waits for a potential user. Estes agreed that the ambulance service is self-funding as it operates in Eldora – that it will look to its own revenues to pay off the construction project. But he said his proposal has the advantage of making use of the existing city property more fully, and it is a way to accomplish the reconversion and expansion of the emergency medical service facilities at far less cost to the program. “I don’t want to cause any hard feelings (with people who have come up with the other design).” Estes said. “But I do hope the city will give a serious look at what I’m proposing here before it rushes into a more costly alternative.” The proposal, which was, actually

subject of the public hearing was one advanced by city officials involved in the emergency medical service project. For the better part of a year it has been a routine observation that the current facilities are inadequate because they are far to tight a fit for the two ambulances which use the garages. A third vehicle can’t be accommodated at all, and has been housed in a nearby warehouse courtesy of the building’s owner. The $2.5 million preliminary figure attached to the administrations design is considerably higher than what the city feels will be the actual cost, according to city administrator Bruce Bierma. Bierma says there is some sense of urgency about getting going with the project, because right now is an advantageous time to finance the project. Bierma again stressed that ambulance service revenues would pay off the project, in any case. The proposal put forward by the city administration also calls for four stalls to house the ambulance vehicles, an enlarged meeting and training room, and more space to accommodate crew members who sleep over and man the site day and night. Bierma also said there are real concerns at the city about locating the facilities out at their current site, on the west side of the city at the old hospital building. Bierma says the highway (175) access to the town is notorious for being quickly clogged with snowdrifts during winter months.
For a nominal fee of $25, you may provide a photograph of a veteran to be published on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Use the form below to have a Veteran’s photo appear in the Eldora Newspapers.

and enjoy fresh, Iowa-grown produce and make great family memories.” There are more than 900 acres of
apple trees in the state comprised of dozens of great varieties. Orchards are located throughout the state. Visiting a local orchard is a great way to find new varieties that may not be available in a grocery store. Ask to try a sample and be adventurous, the
department of agriculture suggests. Meanwhile, there are other crops tied to the season that you can find right here in Iowa, too. For instance, pumpkin production has nearly tripled in the last 3 decades to well over 900 acres at last
count, the department says. In addition to family fun carving a jack-o-lantern, pumpkins are also an extremely versatile ingredient in cooking. Pumpkins make great pies, casseroles and soups. Pumpkin seeds and flowers can also be cooked
and enjoyed. Many farms also host fall festivals with great family activities such as hay rack rides, corn mazes, local music and other activities in addition to the opportunity to pick your own apples or pumpkins.
A list of apple growers and pumpkin patches can be found on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s directory at: https://www.idalsdata.org/fmnp/ index.cfm
Retired school maintenance technican Tim Mott works seasonally for the Fevolds. When we caught him he was cutting up apples for the pie makers. A lot of the work of harvest is simple sorting.

DES MOINES- Seventeen locations across Iowa are gearing up to receive trout this fall. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will release between 1,000 and 2,000 rainbow trout at each location as part of its cool weather trout program that brings trout to areas that cannot support them during the summer months. “Grab our neighbors, friends and kids and try trout fishing this fall,” said Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Bureau. “It’s time well spent. The fish are here, easy to catch and good to eat.” The fall urban trout stockings are a great place to take kids to catch their first fish. Trout can be caught using the most basic fishing gear. A small hook with a nightcrawler or corn under a small bobber to casting small simple spinners such as a panther martin or mepps is all that is needed to get in on the fun. Bringing trout to cities and towns offers a “close to home” option for Iowans who might not normally travel
to northeast Iowa to discover trout fishing. A family friendly event is often paired with the stocking to help anglers have success and fun while fishing. The popular program is supported by the sales of trout fee. Anglers need a valid license and pay the trout fee to fish for or possess trout. The daily limit is five trout per licensed anglers with a possession limit of 10. Children age 15 or younger can fish for trout with a properly licensed adult, but they must limit their catch to one daily limit. The child can purchase a trout fee, which will allow them to catch their own limit.

Late Trojan TD spoils Tigers’ Homecoming by Scott Bierle Sports Editor ELDORA- A heart-breaking Homecoming loss was suffered by the South Hardin football team here Friday. West Marshall scored the winning touchdown in the contest’s final minute to capture a 20-13 victory over the Tigers during Class 2A, District 3 play. The game-winner with 28.7-seconds showing was a Cameron Bannister to Ross Randall eight-yard scoring strike. Randall powered through a pair of South Hardin defenders at the three before finding the corner of the end zone. South Hardin sparkplug Jeff Thompson then ignited a near comeback as he returned the ensuing kickoff 49 yards to the Trojans’ 25. Ty Cook connected with Kevin Rewoldt on a 13-yard pass to the 12 and after an incompletion at the goal line with 1.9-seconds showing, Cook took one last snap, back pedaled to pass, found nobody open and scrambled for paydirt only to be knocked out of bounds at the three. “We fought right to the end; I’ll give the kids credit for that,” said
South Hardin coach Barry Scott. “We need to be better, both the players and coaches, on offense, defense and special teams. We didn’t capitalize on turnovers early in the game,” added Scott. West Marshall’s late score was a 12-play, 66-yard drive that was highlighted by three pass plays of 14, 17 and 22 yards, and all for first downs. The 17-yarder was on fourth and 14 from Bannister to Randall. The Tigers answered the Trojans’ first two six-pointers with two Thompson runs. The senior fullback had a five-yard touchdown run at the 5:24 mark of the second period as the two teams stood 6-all at halftime, and then had a one-yard plunge at the 5:51 mark of the fourth. The hosts then led 13-12 after Michael Haley’s extra point floated over the goal post. The first scoring drive was 56-yards over 11 plays and featured South Hardin’s initial first-down at the 9:27 mark of the second. Thompson had seven carries on the drive to go with a 17-yard pass from Kolten Rewoldt to Aden Butler. The second score was a 37-yard march – all on the ground with six
rushes for 17 yards for Thompson and two carries for 20 yards by Cook. Alex Dickey tallied the Trojans’ first 12 points on a pair of two-yard runs at the 10:56 mark of the second and the 9:37 mark of the third. West Marshall took the first possession of the second half 62-yards in five points highlighted by a 42-yard aerial from Bannister to Randall. Bannister connected on 17-of-23 passes for 249 yards and had three interceptions. Randall had 105 yards and five catches and Beau Coberley 142 yards on 11 receptions, including grabs of 42 and 29 yards. Bannister rushed for 32 yards and Dickey 23. “We didn’t get enough pressure on the quarterback and at times were we giving to much cushion. We knew they could throw the ball,” said Scott. The game’s first 12-minute period was ugly. South Hardin went three plays and a punt on three straight possessions and had a minus three yards, while West Marshall’s first two times touching the football ended with interceptions. Thompson picked a deflected pass on the first
possession and Hunter Nessa had the second INT. A third interception of the first half was a one-handed grab by Tyrell Todd. Thompson was a one-man show for the Tiger offense, accounting for 128 of the team’s 194 yards with 120 rushing on 27 carries. Both of South Hardin’s interceptions came in the red zone, at the Trojans’ 10 late in the first half and at the six in the third. The two teams combined for 18 penalties with nine on both sidelines, accounting for 56 yards against WM and 48 against SH. Ten of the flags were for five-yard motion or offsides. “The penalties were definitely killers. We are a downhill offense and when we get backed up it makes it that much tougher to overcome,” Scott noted. Tackle leaders for South Hardin were five solos for Alex Gustafson and Brandon Meints, four unassisted for Cook and Todd and three along with two assists for Dane Butler. For the Trojans, Chase Burr was credited with 10 solo tackles and five assists with seven solos and two assists for Randall. Coberley and Ban-
nister picked the passes. The loss dropped the Tigers before the .500 mark to 2-3 in the district and 3-4 overall, and all but ended any playoff hopes. West Marshall won a second straight district game to climb to 2-3 and 4-3 overall.

by Rob Maharry Mid-America Publishing CONRAD- BCLUW had a golden opportunity to pick up its first win of the season against BelmondKlemme but failed to convert in key situations and fell 31-13 on Friday night in Conrad on the same night that the 1976 BCL state championship team was honored as part of the homecoming festivities. “We’re so close it’s scary. We do so many things well, and then we just… we’re afraid of it,” BCLUW coach Anthony Jahr said. “We don’t know what it takes yet to put everything together.” The Broncos (3-4) struck first on

a 41-yard pass from Easton Barrus to Tucker Kroeze, but the Comets responded with a deep strike of their own: Brad Barkema found senior Clay Silver for a 65-yard score. A failed extra point made the score 7-6 in favor of Belmond-Klemme. After the ensuing Belmond-Klemme drive stalled in Comet territory, Barrus drilled a 35-yard field goal to make the score 10-6 with 2:57 to play in the opening frame. The Comets were driving down the field when Michael Knapp intercepted a Barkema pass to reclaim possession for the Broncos, but an option fumble on the next play and a Bradley Bell recovery gave the ball right back to
the Comets at the 21-yard line with a short field. On a third and 10 at the 11, Barkema found Bell on a crossing route in the end zone, and the Comets took a rare 13-10 lead. After forcing a three and out defensively, BCLUW got the ball back looking to build on its momentum. A bad snap, however, gifted the ball back to the Broncos, and Belmond-Klemme capitalized with a 22-yard pass to Knapp, making the score 16-13 with 3:44 to go in the first half. The Comets failed to get anything going on their next drive and gave the ball back to the Broncos with 2:13 to go in the half. Barrus found

Michael Jenison for 16 yards to get to midfield, and later in the drive, a crucial pass interference call against BCLUW moved the ball from the 36 to the 20 of the Comets. Kroeze ran down to the nine on the next play, and Sergio Suarez capped off the drive with an option touchdown run. A pass to Kroeze for the two-point conversion made the score 24-13. BCLUW line-
man Keegan Rhinehart recovered a Knapp fumble on a punt return late in the half, but the Comets were unable to convert the turnover into points and went to the locker room trailing by 11. Neither team scored in the third quarter, but Jenison dropped what would have been a sure touchdown for the Broncos on a fourth and long pass play. In the fourth, the Comets
had a drive that brought them all the way down to the Belmond-Klemme 15, but a holding penalty pushed them backward and eventually derailed any hopes of getting back into the contest. A fourth and 10 pass to Clay Silver netted only five yards, and the Broncos regained possession with eight minutes to go. A 15-yard fade pass to Knapp (continued on page 10A) BCLUW receiver Jack Garber and Belmond-Klemme’s Michael Jennison compete for a jump ball during Friday night’s game in Conrad. The Broncos defeated the Comets 3113. (Rob Maharry/ MidAmerica Publishing photo)

2016 Firefighter Salute Tuesday

October 11, 2016
Crews encountered simulated mass casualties, both injuries and fatalities, in an all-county drill staged at Edora a few weeks ago. The big project came at the suggestion of fire and other emergency crews from around the county, who asked Emergency Management to organize the effort. Held at the Eldora High School it brought together hundreds of responders and volunteer victims.
Emergency crews test themselves in big drill
By Rick Patrie News Editor HARDIN COUNTY – It was probably one of the biggest gatherings of Hardin County firefighters – firefighters and everyone else in emergency services. That huge all-county disaster drill held at the South Hardin High School a month ago proved an education and a reminder of just how large Hardin County is, and just how much time it can take to marshall everyone, and what a logistical feat it is to deliver far-flung people and equipment from surrounding communities. Hardin County Emergency Management coordinator Roxanne Warnell said at the time that there is nothing you can do to shorten the mileage crews have to travel to a
disaster scene, but she said drills like the one held here in Eldora do help trim response times, and more than anything they ensure that once crews arrive they are able to make the most of all the resources they bring. The simulation Saturday morning involved a car, which was to have crashed into bleachers filled with spectators at the high school. The scenario presented responders of all the emergency crews, not just firemen, with a number of fatalities, and a large number of injuries of all scope and severity. Everything was kept as true to life as possible. The idea was to test crewmen from the area police, emergency medical, fire and other departments. And the test was the responders’
idea, she said. Warnell said teams around the county began suggesting to her that they needed a big drill of this nature – something not conducted in years – to find out where the weaknesses and strengths were in the system. She said the one thing that impressed itself on everyone, even though they were not surprised, was the time involved in getting responders to the scene. “When you are waiting, even in a drill, it seems like forever.” The drill involved everything from extracting victims from the simulated wreckage, to triage for those injured, and dignified handling of the dead. Teams were judged on how well they handled the handoff of victims
to ‘hospital’ personnel – with the Eldora Medical Clinic building and staff from Greenbelt Home Care playing the hospital role. About the only team that was not able to make it to the drill was the helicopter unit from Waterloo. It was grounded due to the weather that day. Otherwise, the scene was packed. Everyone from Linn’s Funeral Home in Iowa Falls, to sheriffs deputies, Eldora police, Greenbelt Home Care, Tara McKibben, of Iowa Falls who provided children who were part of the scene. Paul Haywood brought a troop of boy scouts; Marsha Williams and Deb Jeske helped apply make up to the accident victims. New Providence sent fire and
first responders, Ackley sent an ambulance team, and Iowa Falls sent fire and ambulance. Buckeye fire and first responders were part of the event, as were Union fire and ambulance, Steamboat Rock fire, and Warnell said the South Hardin High School came in for special thanks for providing teachers and kids who helped make the wreckage scene as realistic and properly chaotic as possible R & M wrecking of Alden provided the wrecked vehicle. Simulated dead were played by mannequins provided for the scenes. And, in all, she estimated that over 150 people played some part in the drill. She said one thing they took from the drill was the utility of something
called an ‘incident command’ system that helps match responders to the often fast-changing nature of the scene. The planning for the project started back in April after Warnell said she was told that response teams wanted to test themselves. She said the idea was to see where the gaps were in response, and the results will be reviewed in the event’s aftermath. She said the county teams have never had a drill of this size and scale during the time of her tenure here in Hardin County. SEE INSIDE FOR MEMBERS OF THE AREAS VOLUNTEER DEPARTMENTS

Firemen draw festival winner 2016’s lawn tractor winner It is always great for some lucky winner’s lawn, and great for the Eldora volunteer fire department. Dennis Zuck drove away with this year’s contribution to better lawn care in the city, as the Eldora Volunteer Firemen’s annual drawing produced another happy mower owner. Presentations were made early this summer. The Firemen’s drawing has become a regular part of the community Pine Lake Festival. And for the department it was $12,000 net return on the fundraising project. Chief Dave Lloyd says that the department usually likes to have some spotlight purchase it will fund with the proceeds, but this year it is a host of smaller needs that will be met, sections of hose, upgrades to self contained breathing apparatus, equipment for fighting grass fires and equipment to aid in ice-bound rescue situations. That’s where the needs were this year, and Lloyd said the department extends a big thanks to the community and everyone who participated in the fundraiser. So, Zuck’s win was a win for firemen, too. Zuck (l) is shown on the left with Eldora Fire Chief Dave Lloyd. The piece of lawn equipment has become a traditional prize each year – the department’s biggest fundraiser.
By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – It was in 1882 some citizens of Eldora started down the road to a real fire department. Press reports going way back into the 1800s spoke mostly of bucket brigades, and the fact that if a fire wasn’t discovered early, it was usually out of control. And towns like Eldora, constructions of wood in the early years, almost routinely burned down now and then. In August of 1883 the city took bids for a Water Works system at the cost of 7000 it consider of a tank, wind powered and pump. It was then in March of 1884, that two hose carts and 1000 feet of two and half inch hose were purchased. This by most accounts was the first money
spent in the name of fire fighting in Eldora. Volunteers used the equipment until April of 1885, when a meeting of the volunteers was called the department formally chartered. In 1882 two companies were formed equipped out of two different sites in the city. 1886 saw a big project to add to the stock of fire hydrants around the community. Just like today, fire departments gathered up an occasionally and competed, and the Eldora Alvord Hose team was remembered as one of the most successful. It made its mark in an 1888 tournament in Clinton. There was a mix of men from throughout the community in the early departments.
Firefighter Salute
Two years in the making
By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – Eldora’s new pumper truck has been a long time preparing for, and taking delivery. The new unit that arrived in the middle of Thursday night a few months ago was replacing another that has been on the road for the Eldora volunteers since way back in 1989. John McBride was chief of the department at the time. It’s been a dependable fixture, and
Thank your volunteer firefighters
In 1889 for instance, the companies had dry goods salesmen, carpenters, tin workers, farmers, bookkeepers, jewelers, a photographer, a telegrapher, grocer, cashier and more. In 1897 a new fire bell was bought, better to summon on the calls. The first hook and ladder was purchased in 1899, in 1911 a new hose cart, and in 1920 the city purchased a Ford fire truck, the first motorized piece in use. Not everything went smoothly though. In 1925 the mayor and the council and the department were on the outs, and the whole volunteer group resigned. After 40 year the department disbanded in protest.
will remain in the inventory, with a few conversions made. The new unit was not only since1989-in-the-making, but was a special project of work for the last couple of years. Over that span the department has been coordinating with the city on the acquisition, a considerable portion of the time set aside for making decisions on the specifications for the unit. These trucks are not cookie cutter copies of each other. There are a lot of opportunities for picking
and choosing among the features. The drawing board work was only finished last fall and since that time the unit has been under pre-assembly at one plant, final assembly in Nebraska. The job took the better part of six months. Several members of the Eldora department took delivery on the unit and drove it back from Nebraska last week. Once it arrived here in Eldora it started undergoing some added
installations, radio gear first on the list the next morning. The new truck joins that 1989 unit and the city’s ladder truck, which dates back to 2004 and was a project of then chief of the department, Bruce Harvey. Dave Lloyd is chief today and Jeff Gore the assistant. Lloyd says the department is pretty well stocked up now. This acquisition involved well over $420,000.
by Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – It was the fire event of the year! Unfortunately, the value of a community’s fire department only becomes obvious with the arrival of some adversity. Not so long ago it happened in Eldora where the equipment inventory of the Eldora fire department proved its worth. Firemen couldn’t save an old downtown landmark when fire started in the middle of the night, but were able to spare the same fate for all the neighboring structures on the
south side of the city square. The last renewal of a lease on life was given the old YMCA building back in 2009, when the city, for a short period of time, took title to the structure, The idea was to facilitate grant applications that were going toward restoration. But, by the time fire consumed all but the bricks and mortar one early Wednesday morning it had long been agreed the building was a lost cause. The rear of the building, some walls and some of the roof had fallen into complete disrepair, and how to dispose of it became an occasional
topic of discussion at city council sessions. It was under private ownership. It was, in its time, a city landmark, however. When the building was first constructed it was considered something of a crown jewel, a mark of pride, and the equal of anything of its kind just about anywhere in Iowa. The building was constructed in 1890, after a local lady sparked the idea of a YMCA in the community. At least one of the immediate neighbors did sustain smoke and water damage, but the south side of the commercial square was in the end saved.
YMCA was history
The YMCA building had long since ceased being venerable, but it was one of Eldora’s signature sites. After an early morning blaze Wednesday morning, it was history. The state fire marshall did be the investigating but exact cause was not to be known. The story was how local firemen were able to contain the fireand limit damage to the south edge of the town square.
