By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – City administrator Bruce Bierma and Emergency Medical Service head Corey Larson met with the Eldora New Providence School Board this week, carrying a proposal to have the city buy a piece of school district property east of the downtown elementary for use as the new ambulance service center. The school board agreed to mull the question over and bring it up for a decision next meeting, though at least one member had some misgivings. The site is now a vacant lot. It is one of an unspecified number of potential sites the city is considering. In addition, the council faces a further choice between two different types of construction. One, which came through city hall channels, looks to build the wholly new center and to try and locate it somewhere more central in the community. City hall says the job can be done for under the $2.5 million working estimate on the proposal. A second proposal, now under advisement, was submitted by an Eldora man and would have the city take advantage of space in the old town hospital building, and tack on a new ambulance service garage at the hospital site. Eldora resident, Sam Estes, presented the council with that (continued on page 3)

By: ROB MAHARRY Mid-America Publishing ELDORA- A familiar local face is joining the Mid-America sales team in Hardin County, as Grundy Center native Britt Gideon began her duties as marketing representative in Eldora this week. Gideon moved to Grundy Center, where she currently resides, in fourth grade, and attended GCHS. She has a background in sales and customer service: she previously worked at the Van Wert U.S. Cellular office in Grundy Center for the last two years, and before that with CDS Global, a magazine publishing house, in Boone. Gideon considers herself a people person and looks forward to building relationships with advertisers around Eldora and the surrounding Hardin County communities. “I love interacting with people and meeting new people. I like the networking part of it, and I love helping people,” she said. “If I can help people grow their business, then that makes me feel good too.” She added that she will focus on the marketing and business needs of the clients that she works with in her new role, and she has been hard at work with regional publisher Clint Poock training and learning the ins and outs of the job. “I’m pleased that Britt has joined our staff at the Eldora Newspapers. Britt has experience in sales, marketing and customer service,” Poock said. “She brings a lot of enthusiasm and creative ideas to our advertising department. I know she is looking forward to working with all of the area businesses throughout
Britt Gideon
Hardin and southwestern Grundy Counties.” While she is a little nervous about acquainting herself to a new job and adjusting to it, Gideon sees this as an opportunity to better both herself and the company while helping businesses to promote their products and services as well. “I feel I’m going to be an asset eventually, and I think that it could turn into a career,” she said. Outside of work, Gideon enjoys spending time with her 10-yearold son Langdon, walking the local trails, playing at the arcade, watching movies, reading and listening to music. To contact Britt with any of your advertising or business questions, call the Eldora Newspapers at (641) 939-5051.
Home school adds electives By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – If you visited the blacksmith’s shop at the Hardin County Farm Museum’s Harvest Festival a couple of weekends ago, you met the blacksmith, Samantha Reinertson, whose real story is about how homeschooling is engaging a network of experts in academics, trades and heritage skills – bringing them into the school experience. Reinertson isn’t a journeyman blacksmith but she is well into an apprenticeship. It’s thanks to something called the Landry Academy. The academy is actually a network of educators, tradesmen and others with unique skills and knowledge. They make themselves available around the entire country, to home school and other groups who want to give their youngsters a sprinkle of variety in the classroom. The Landry Academy has been active here for four years. It has providers in everything from biology to blacksmithing. They teach in teams all over the nation, and if need be they do so as they did on the Reinertson farm – bringing the school room, complete with forge, right to the kids. Samantha not too long ago completed that course in the blacksmithing trade. Completing the class required a lot, because it is all crammed into a couple of days. She made dinner bells, the ringers, a fireplace poker, hooks, and naturally there are metal worked S’s and R’s, commemorative student’s initials. All worked the old fashion way,
Blacksmith Samantha Reinertson took advantage of short courses available through an academy which caters to home school students. And she used her own family shop as a classroom. She is shown at the Hardin County Farm Museum’s recent Harvest Fest. over a hot forge. The Landry people have brought everything from woodworking to metal work, to academic science classes – taught in what are termed its ‘intensive series.’ The academy is a product of Greg Landry, a fifteen-year veteran of homeschooling himself. He is a former college professor
and long time advocate for education. The academy teaches computer sciences, English, foreign languages, history, geography and business, not to mention math and even visual and performing arts. Naturally, there are limits to how far you can go in a two-day intensive studies, but the cram sessions get kids started on the basics and instill
an appetite for learning more, the academy will tell you. Reinsertion is a junior level in high school now, and following on her interests in the shop areas, she is also part of the South Hardin High School construction technology course under way at the high school this semester.

Basketball and comedy show
by Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – The show had the Harlem Ambassadors bring the big fundraising show into town – lots of basketball, add in some dance, and sprinkle on a ton of comedy. By last weekend, the South Hardin community had already spet considerable time at the high school – what with last week’s homecoming festivities. The basketball showcase became something of the finale. Event proceeds benefit the South Hardin Athletic Boosters support group, who in turn raise money for the South Hardin athletic programs. The team of local all stars came up a little short on the scoreboard, but
only a little, and some of the bigger thrills were provided by none other than South Hardin basketball coach Adam Weig who went on a tear sinking a string of three pointers. In the end, leading comfortably,, the visitors suspended the action and everyone danced the last twenty seconds off the clock. That was pretty much the story of the competition throughout. The population in the bleechers was over and over again drawn into the act. There were only two fouls called and nobody did anything about them either. The event was sponsored by the Hardin County Savings Bank, the Hardin County Performance Series
and the Eldora Rotary. Back in 1997, sports management and marketing executive Dale Moss formed the Harlem Ambassadors, a small business/travelling basketball troupe. The mission was to provide non-profit and community service groups with comedy basketball shows they could use as fun, familyfriendly fundraising events. Proceeds would benefit the local community. During the first season in 1998, the Ambassadors performed 30 fundraisers. Over the years, the tour schedule has grown to over 220 events each season and includes appearances in all 50 states and 20 countries The team’s done 2800 shows since they launched in 1998.
THE HOME TEAM – (front l-r) Barry Scott, Dave VanderWilt, Chip Daleske, Greg Salvo; back coach Arlen Daleske, Dwayne Melton, Jay Sheldahl, Marc Anderson, Dick Shindelar and Adam Weig. They kept it close and settled for second place and spots in the Big Dance at the end. Hometown officials were Matt Thompson, Pat Ryan and Sam Devilder.

option. Estes said he didn’t want to be premature in floating an actual cost figure on his idea – before having an engineer price out his alternative. But, he said it could be done for a fraction of the cost” for the administration’s proposal. 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 Estes (See graphics on right). City administrator Bruce Bierema said the city wants to move expeditiously. 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. 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. Crews say modern ambulance vehicles barely fit into the current garage space, and the current garage only accommodates two ambulances, a third is stored off-site. The city wants to start work in the spring if possible.

The city appears to be moving forward on upgrading its ambulance service headquarters. Above is a drawing of the city administration’s proposal for an all new center, both garages and administrative areas, and below is a plan offered by an Eldora man which would call for construction of a four stall garage (the same as the city administration proposal) but but scale back other areas, attaching to the current Eldora Medical Center complex. The idea would be to use the existing mothballed hospital building. The darkened area on the lower drawing is the proposed site of the garage. Another alternate proposal by city resident Sam Estes would also attached on the west side of the structure. The city, meanwhile is looking at various sites around town if it chooses the new center, route.

Event supports hospital renovation and mammography GRUNDY CENTER – More than 260 ladies gathered for the annual Grundy County Memorial Hospital (GCMH) Foundation’s Fall Fling luncheon and style show in rural Reinbeck. The fundraiser supported the hospital’s plans to renovate the original 1952 hospital building, expand its Specialty Clinics to meet increased needs for specialty care, and create a women’s health area. In addition, an appeal to support the purchase of a 3D mammography machine was met with enthusiasm from those in attendance. The Fall Fling offers women from around the area an opportunity to enjoy lunch and a style show presented by Jennifer’s on Main in Cedar Falls. A raffle drawing for a Jennifer’s gift certificate, a Marquette over-night, and an evening at the Waterloo Cedar Falls Symphony, plus the chance to win one of more than fifty purses, scarves, and gift cards complete the event. More than 100 local businesses and individuals
supported the Fall Fling as table sponsors and prize donors. GCMH CEO Jennifer Havens shared with the audience the hospital’s plan to purchase a 3D mammography machine in early 2017. She explained the benefits of 3D mammography – more accurate detection, earlier diagnosis, and a decrease in unnecessary callbacks. The ladies in attendance responded generously by giving $11,300 to the Foundation in support of its purchase. The Fall Fling was organized by a committee of twelve women: Kate Durbin and Amy Swanson-Haan of Parkersburg; Toni Nederhoff representing Eldora; Dianne Barker and Angie Thesing of Reinbeck, Juanita Fulster, Pat Goos, and Shirley Miell of Gladbrook, Kim Heinrich and Rhonda Samo representing Grundy Center, Mary Zimmermann of Wellsburg, and Audrey Kuhl of Conrad.

Melvin Oberhokamp, 89 Melvin Oberhokamp, 89, of Nevada, Iowa, passed away on Friday, Oct. 7, 2016 at Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames, IA. Funeral services for Melvin were held on Tuesday, Oct. 11, at 10:30 a.m. at the Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Radcliffe, Iowa. Burial was at Eastlawn Memory Gardens in Eldora, Iowa. The family received friends on Monday, Oct. 10, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Boeke Funeral Home in Radcliffe. Boeke Funeral Home of Radcliffe handled the arrangements. For more information and online condolences go to: www.boekefuneralhomes.com Melvin was born October 27, 1926, to Gustav and Marie Oberhokamp, immigrants to the German community in Hart Township, Minnesota. He was baptized on November 7, 1926, at St. Johannes Evangelical Lutheran Church, Winona County, Minnesota, and confirmed at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Hubbard, Iowa. He attended country school in the Hubbard and Zearing area. Melvin served in the Marines during World War II. On April 18, 1948, he was united in marriage to Margaret Shaw at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Hubbard. They celebrated 60 years of marriage before her death in 2009. Melvin was a life-long farmer in several areas of Hardin County and in 1961 moved to the family farm south of Radcliffe in Hamilton County. Melvin continued to reside there until January 2015 when he moved to Windsor Manor in Nevada. Melvin was a member of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church and the American Legion in Radcliffe. He took great pride in his military service to his country and his heritage. He especially loved the visits from his many German relatives over the years. In 1996, he and Margaret took the trip of their lifetime to Germany to visit his extended family. His passion was farming and all things associated with it. His joys were tinkering in his shed, engineering tools and aids to simplify the work, fishing, visiting neighbors, friends and family, and in later life, tending his vegetable garden. Survivors include five children: Roger Oberhokamp, Collins, Iowa; Kathy (Terry) Clark, Cambridge, Iowa; Linda (Jim) Herrington, Ellsworth, Iowa; Randy Oberhokamp, Rhodes, Iowa; Lisa (Brian) Roggendorf, Marion, Iowa; 10 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren; and three sisters: Arlene (Phillip) Brinkmeyer, Hubbard, Iowa; Marjorie (Tom) Boeke, Spirit Lake, Iowa; Mary (Linn) Reisetter, Newton, Iowa; brothers-in-law, Melvin Boeke, Hubbard, Iowa; and Jim (Nancy) Shaw, St. Johnsville, New York, and many other relatives and friends.

This trail will be an incredible asset to our community’s quality of life, economy, and ability to attract and retain young families. We need your help! Joe Herring, Eldora, IA
To the Editor: Once again some members of our community are being targeted with a direct mail fundraiser appeal to support something called the Hospice Support Fund or HSF. If you read the fine print on the back of the computer generated letter it states that nearly 70 percent of the $1.5 million they raised last year is used for fundraising, 14 percent on public education about their fundraising efforts, over 10 percent on administration and less than six percent for “program services.” Know that this group is NOT af-
filiated with Iowa River Hospice in any way. Dollars donated to us stay in the communities we serve and support your family, friends and neighbors needing end of life care and support. Please consider carefully before donating to any organization, particularly those that are not local. Call us for information on how we use your donations to support our work helping those in our community who need it most. Sincerely, Tami Lichtenberg, Executive Director Iowa River Hospice

Flashback Friday
Taking a look back at local history from previous editions of the Eldora Newspapers. Compiled by Rob Maharry.
Five years ago this week-2011 • Objectors to a proposed county backed bond issue to support construction of a new Ellsworth Municipal Hospital Wednesday pressed the board of supervisors for more assurances that the taxpayers would never under any circumstance be held liable in the event the hospital collapsed financially and couldn’t pay off the bonds. The board was considering a proposal that would have Ellsworth provide the county about $50,000 each year of the bond payoff for an accumulating escrow fund which would offset any annual administrative costs that the county would incur due to its participation in the bond program. • It is that time of year again, and in fact just about any time of the year is a time for inspiring sounds at Cottage Community Church. We’ve told this story before, but it bears repeating how the tiny rural church has managed to be a magnet for Christian musicians. It’s October and that means the music is back not far from Buckeye. Around this time last year, Stone Soup, a gospel band from Northwood, came calling, and they are back this year for another visit. 10 years ago this week-2006 • A Hardin County man last listed with an Iowa Falls address is facing several charges as a result of an incident last Wednesday in which law enforcement personnel from several different area departments apprehended him in a bean field north of Eldora. Kelly Jay Cowan, 26, of Iowa Falls, is facing a felony domestic abuse count, a felony second degree burglary count, a simple misdemeanor interference with official acts count, an aggravated misdemeanor aggravated assault count and another simple misdemeanor, violation of a protective order count. • Michelle Ryan recalled that it was on a trip coming home from her grandmother’s funeral and only about three weeks before her father Harlan Standorf’s death, that he wanted the family to take a side trip and look at some statues which had peaked his curiosity. Ryan said her dad remarked he had always wanted something on the order of one of the figures for his own yard, and while looking at some other subjects on display Mr. Standorf added that a figure of a fireman was pretty interesting too. Ryan said, little did he know, she and her husband Rod had already purchased a figure of a cowboy for her dad as a Christmas present. Sadly, he never got to see it, but following his death the family turned their attention to doing something with memorial gifts that would have met his approval.
So came the firemen now stationed near the Eldora department’s station. Rod Ryan, a member of the Eldora department, talked with several others in the group and they picked up the 1,500 pound piece from a New Vienna dealer about halfway between Dyersville and Guttenberg. 25 years ago this week- 1991 • Following an informal public hearing, Hardin County Auditor Renee McClellan set the bond on the contest for the Eldora-New Providence school bond election at $500,000. McClellan and Hardin County attorney Jim Beres heard arguments from persons representing all sides of the election issue before taking a break to review that information and making an announcement as to the amount of the bond. • Time has stood still for quite a period of time in downtown Eldora. That’s because the town clocks, located at the Hardin County Courthouse, have not been working. For some time, the Hardin County Supervisors have been attempting to begin the program of renovation for the exterior of the courthouse, according to information from chairman Millie Lloyd. That work is currently underway, with Karr Tuckpointing of Vinton working on the north and east sides of the building this fall. • Hardin County Extension Director/Agriculturalist Jim Johnson reports this week that the early corn yields in Hardin County appear to be good. “But, we have to remember, this is probably the corn that was planted early enough,” Johnson said. “The corn planted later probably isn’t being harvested just yet.” State officials are concerned about the corn and soybean harvest this fall because of the “killing frost” that came too soon. 50 years ago this week- 1966 • The town of Hubbard plans to construct a sewer system and sewage treatment plant costing in the neighborhood of $345,000, Mayor Lyle Hubbard told the Eldora newspapers Friday. Last week, the State Health Department certified Hubbard as eligible to receive $16,320 in a federal construction grant for the sewage treatment project. • The town of Radcliffe has accepted a $200,000 Federal Housing Administration loan for construction of a sanitary sewer system. The Radcliffe town council, during a meeting last week, voted to accept the loan. • The 1966 soybean crop in Hardin County is a “good one,” but not many beans are being sold, a survey of area elevators conducted Friday revealed. All five elevators contacted said that this year’s crop was in the 33 to 35 bushel per acre level with quality good. Some yields in excess of the 40 bushel mark had been reported with one nearing the 50 bushel level.

The detours of 2016 are now nearing an end Paving nears for Eldora Washington Street Project
By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – (As of press time) This week, or thereabouts was guessed to be paving day kickoff for the Washington Street Project here in Eldora. According to city hall, that leaves about a month to complete the paving and streets portion of the project, while some of the attendant work like sidewalks may be carried into spring. That had been anticipated during the planning of the project. Expectation has been 110 plus working days and city hall says the project is moving along on schedule. How much of the attendant sidewalk replacement work can be completed is yet to be seen. Residents could see work move forward in the grading last week. The project calls for resurfacing several blocks from 14th Avenue to 20th Avenue. It comes at an estimated $1.9 million cost.
S-56 bridge
The project calls for the heavily travelled access to the city to be repaved, with associated utilities and curb and gutter replaced. The job includes repositioning water and sewer lines, and stands to face property owners along the impacted area with substantial special assessments. Charges will be added to the property owners tax bills over coming years. Using special assessments to cover portion of the costs of such projects is customary. The project as a whole is being paid to the tune of 80 percent of costs by federal assistance. About ten percent of the total project cost is being born by special assessment against the benefitting property owners, the city says. The work on Washington ties in with the wholesale paving replacement up town in Eldora, completed in the last few years.
by Rick Patrie News Editor STEAMBOAT ROCK – It is a summer of getting used to some alternate routes and if you are motoring to Steamboat Rock you already know directions to town changed. A bridge immediately south was being replaced. A long anticipated bridge replacement project continues to detour traffic between Eldora and Steamboat Rock for the rest of the summer and then a little. The project replaces a bridge immediately south of Steamboat Rock on Highway D-56. It would have come last summer had it not been for the appearance of RAGBRAI. The official detour running from Eldora to Steamboat Rock is west out of Eldora on 175 and then taking D-41 north to its intersection with D-35, and then travel into Steamboat Rock going east. The bridge replacement has long been on county schedule. The work schedule had all along slated to take the project into the early fall.
Bridge deck in place at Steamboat Rock
All year round we invite you to join us in celebrating God’s love. Our doors are always open to those whose hearts are open to His word. May you and yours enjoy a truly blessed week. We hope to see you soon in church!

South Hardin plays at Roland-Story
by Scott Bierle Sports Editor ELDORA- Playing for pride will be the drive for the South Hardin football team as the prep gridiron campaign has reached week eight. The Tigers’ post-season hopes all but ended last Friday with a last minute 20-13 loss to West Marshall. The Homecoming loss left South Hardin 2-3 in the district and 3-4 overall. “We have a lot to play for these last two weeks. We are still going after that winning season, and we are playing two good teams,” said South Hardin coach Barry Scott. South Hardin goes to Story City to battle Roland-Story tonight (Friday). Game time is 7:30 p.m. Roland-Story had a five-game winning streak snapped with a lopsided 42-3 loss Friday to Dike-New Hartford in a game for the Class 2A, District 3 lead. South Hardin dropped a 23-12 decision to DikeNH one week earlier. The Norseman stand 4-1 in the district and 5-2 overall. “I think we can be physical with them, but Roland-Story looks athletic so we are going to have to be good on our tackling. This is a huge game for Roland-Story, the pressure is on them,” added Scott. Offensive leaders for the Norseman are running back Caleb Schlatter with 893 yards and 10 touchdowns, quarterback Brett Staton with 839 passing yards on 47 completions and 11 touchdowns, and Austin Hobbs with 268 yards on 12 receptions with three scoring strikes. Before the Dike-NH loss, RolandStory had manhandled district three straight district opponents Aplington-Parkersburg (42-14), Saydel (42-6) and East Marshall (48-6). South Hardin owned a 13-12 lead on West Marshall last Friday with just under six-minutes showing on Jeff Thompson’s second touchdown run. The visiting Trojans then orchestrated a 12-play drive that end-
ed in the end zone with 28-seconds showing on an eight-yard touchdown toss from Cameron Bannister to Ross Randall. The Tigers battle to the final buzzer as the scoreboard clock hit zeros with the hosts at the three yard line. “We are not built for the big plays on offense or defense. We gave up some big plays on defense that hurt us and on offense we have to keep going downhill and penalties hurt some drives,” Scott said. Thompson propelled the South Hardin offense as he plowed by 120 rushing yards and the team finished with 196 total yards. The Tigers’ season finale will be back in Eldora Friday (Oct. 21) against Collins-Maxwell-Baxter.
The AGWSR football team will wrap-up the regular season with two home games and a pair of wins will secure second place in District 2 of Eight-Player, and a playoff berth. The Cougars play Janesville in Ackley tonight and then North Iowa in week nine (Oct. 21). The Cougars climbed to 3-1 in the district and 5-2 overall with a 43-6 romp over Clarksville last Friday. Janesville was routed 66-14 a week ago by Riceville, to fall to 2-2 in the district and 3-4 overall. Riceville piled up 460 yards of offense and had four rushing and receiving touchdowns apiece. Senior quarterback Nathan Karsjens fueled the AGWSR attack against Clarksville with 132 rush-
ing yards and three touchdowns and added a scoring strike to Tate Hofmeister, who also returned a punt for six. District leader and third-ranked Turkey Valley (5-0 district, 7-0 overall) plays at Clarksville tonight and at Janesville next Friday. The BCLUW football team lost last Friday’s Homecoming contest, 31-13 to Belmond-Klemme and remains winless on the fall going to 0-5 in District 2 of Class 1A and 0-7 overall. That first win will be hard to find tonight as the Comets go to Denver. The Cyclones lead the district at 5-0, are 7-0 overall and third-ranked in 1A. Denver is ground-oriented with
Bowling Scores
2,323 yards for an average of 7.1 per carry and 31 touchdowns. The attack is three-headed with Eli Barrett 666 yards, Bo McMahon 584 and Sam Joerger 573. The Cyclones have outscored the five district foes 225-32 after last Friday’s 56-14 win over MFL-MarMac. BCLUW’s two touchdowns a week ago were scoring strikes of 10 yards to Bradley Bell and 65 to Clay Silver from Brad Barkema, who had 148 passing yards on 11 completions. Silver pulled down four catches for 89 yards. Greg Schmitt led the rushing with 30 yards. The Comets’ season finale will be back in Conrad against MFL-MarMac (Oct. 21). The Grundy Center football team behind running back Bruce Flater ended a short two-game skid with a 54-0 pounding of Nashua-Plainfield last Friday in Class A, District 3 play. Flater rushed for 259 yards on just 15 carries for a 17.3 average and scored five touchdowns. The Spartan also had two defensive touchdowns with a two-yard fumble recovery for Flater and a 34-yard interception return by Jared Krausman. The victory improved Grundy Center to 3-2 in the district and 4-3 overall. The Spartans meet 2-5 North Butler at Greene tonight and are back in Grundy Center for the season finale (Oct. 21) against West Fork. The Iowa Falls-Alden football team lost for the fourth time in five Class 3A, District 2 contests, 37-7 at Dallas Center-Grimes last Friday. The Cadets, 3-4 overall, were limited to 57 total yards with just 11 rushing by DC-G. The tough district campaign continues as Webster City comes to Iowa Falls tonight. The 6-1 Lynx are eighth-ranked. IF-A travels to Perry for the season finale (Oct. 21).

Fisher, Lippert, penning NCC Top 10 runners
CADET LEADER- Brayden Penning led the Cadets’ showing at the North Central Conference Meet Tuesday, scoring sixth with a time of 17:55.
by Scott Bierle Sports Editor HAMPTON- North Central Conference top 10 cross country medals were claimed by Iowa FallsAlden/AGWSR’s threesome of Aubrie Fisher, Bethany Lippert and Brayden Penning here Tuesday. Fisher and Lippert went three-four in a field of 50 girls, and Penning scored sixth in the boys’ 53-runner field on the Maynes Grove course. Fisher covered the course in 20:07 and Lippert at 20:38, while Penning’s clocking was 17:55. Fisher was the defending champion as a freshman and Lippert took third a year ago. A Humboldt tandem finished one-two for the girls with freshman Bryce Gidel the champion at 19:26 and her teammate Gabby Kent was runner-up at 20-minutes. Both Cadet clubs posted middle-of-the pack placings in the team standings. The IF-A/AGWSR girls finished fourth at 86 points and the boys fifth at 110. After Fisher and Lippert, the scoring five for the girls counted Haley Bakker 24th, Katie Meyer 28th and Patience Kauzlarich 32nd. Bakker ran 23:43, Meyer 24:18 and Kauzlarich 24:57. “Although our goal was to finish second within the NCC, we were pleased with knowing we gave our best effort. Ideally, we needed a few more within the top 15-25 in order to lower our score and be a little more competitive,” said IF-A/AGWSR coach Jamie Lofstedt. Humboldt with five gals in the first 14 doubled the field at 33 points with 69 for second place Clear Lake. Counters after Penning for the boys were Marcos Vila 19th in 18:38, Pablo Frade 25th at 19:01, Greg Tystahl 29th in 19:05 and Campbell Murra 31st in 19:07. The Humboldt boys completed the team sweep, scoring 39 points with Clear Lake edging Webster City for second, 59 to 61.
Clear Lake’s Eric Faught was the gold medalist for the boys at 17:17 with Humboldt’s Ryan Courtney second at 17:24. The Iowa Falls-Alden/AGWSR girls and boys next compete in a Class 3A State Qualifying meet Thursday (Oct. 20) at Decorah.

Comets end regular season on winning note 3-1 over a-p
by Rob Maharry Mid-America Publishing CONRAD- The BCLUW volleyball team rebounded from a sluggish start and ended its regular season on a winning note, defeating AplingtonParkersburg 19-25, 25-22, 25-16, 25-22 in a non-conference match Tuesday night in Conrad. “We played awesome. The best we have played all year,” BCLUW coach Kristen Garber said. “It was great to see.” The Falcons (12-14) broke a 5-5 tie early in game one and led by as many as six points at 15-9 and later 24-18. The set ended when senior Dani Johnson slammed a spike, and A-P looked poise to hand the struggling Comets (22-8, 4-2) another late season loss. It was BCLUW that took the
early momentum in game two, however, jumping out to an 8-4 lead and leading by as many as six. The Falcons did make a comeback, though, getting the score to 21-20 before the Comets scored the next three points to make it 24-20. After two more A-P points, the set finally ended when Easton Swanson landed a spike to give the Comets a 25-22 win. From there, the Comets pounced on the Falcons in game three en route to an easy 25-16 win and put away the match with a hard fought 25-22 game four victory. The eight seniors on the team—Sam Ubben, Jordyn Beeghly, Kate Goecke, Skylar Veldhouse, Leah Yantis, Macy Kock, Katey Choate and Olivia Macy—were all recognized before the match. Swanson led the offense with
14 kills, and Ubben added 11 to go with 19 digs and 14-of-14 service in her final home match as a Comet. BCLUW had a season-high 17 total blocks, led by Swanson (six) and Yantis (five), and setter Cate Nason had 38 assists. As a team, they served 91-of-94 with seven aces and recorded a kill efficiency rating of 0.204. Johnson led the way for A-P with 15 kills and seven total blocks, and Kaitlyn Mohwinkle added 14. Jenna Bruns had 33 assists and 12 digs, both team highs, and the team served 77-of-86 with five aces. BCLUW opens postseason play on Tuesday night on the road against Grundy Center in Region 4 of Class 2A, while A-P will also hit the road to face Denver in Class 2A Region 6 play.
by Scott Bierle Sports Editor DYSART- Three top 10 placings and another three in the top 20 were earned by the South Hardin and BCLUW girls’ and boys’ cross country teams at the Union High Invitational here Tuesday. Seniors Miquela Teske for the Tigers and the Comets’ Ian Showers and Grant Baker were top 10 runners. Teske finished fifth in a field of 83 girls with a sub 20-minute run of 19:57. Showers scored sixth and Baker ninth in the boys’ 81-runner field with times of 16:11 and 16:18, respectively. Top 20 efforts were BCLUW’s Caleb Silver 17th, and 18th for both Jordan Carr and Jacob VanderWilt of South Hardin. Silver and VanderWilt each crossed the finish line at 16:52, while Carr was clocked in 21:21. The times for Teske and VanderWilt reached the South Hardin record board at second each for 3.1 miles. South Hardin coach Mike Olson was pleased with the showing. “This was the best we have competed this season. We raced throughout the run, pushed hard in the middle and finished strong – we didn’t let anyone pass us and we passed a couple.” The BCLUW boys rounded up 91 points for a strong third, just behind runner-up East Marshall at 85. The Comets’ fourth score was 24th by Neifer Ralston at 17:13 and Blake Mann fifth, ending 46th in 18:12. “It was an awesome night,” stated BCLUW coach Donna Fiscus. “We have talked about placings and not worrying so much about times and tonight they kids did that. We have ran against these teams all year and we know who we have to beat – placings are what matters right now.” Team placings for South Hardin were seventh for the boys, scoring 147 points and an eighth for the girls at 152. Chloe Webb was third for the Tigers and 28th overall at 21:52 followed by Laura Stanish 35th at 22:09 and Courtney Murphy 69th at 24:46. For the SH boys, the foursome after VanderWilt were Justin Meints 32nd and Cauy Teske 33rd in 17:40 each, Kolby Winter 42nd at 18:02 and Josiah Dorow 48th at 18:19. The BCLUW girls collected 324 points for 11th. The scoring leader was Samantha Schleisman 44th with
a time of 22.27. Teammates counting were Skylar Nelson 67th, Milena Ralston 71st, Payton Pekarek 75th and Haley McDonald 78th. Aplington-Parkersburg was the big winner, sweeping the team and individual titles. Individually, Sophia Jungling won for the girls at 18:49 and for the boys, Mason Tyler finished first at 15:42. Grundy Center/Gladbrook-Reinbeck had top 10 individuals with Reegan Zinkula sixth at 20:15 for the girls and Dylan Hendricks seventh at 16:14 for the boys. The meet was ran on the grounds of the Union High Middle School in Dysart after the LaPorte City Golf Course had flood damage. For the South Hardin JV boys, Kaleb Roling led the list at 10th in 19:30 with Alex Hassan 12th and Tom Haywood 17th. The South Hardin and BCLUW teams will run at the North Iowa Cedar League Conference Meet Saturday at Reinbeck’s Oakleaf Golf Course. State qualifying meets will then be held Thursday, Oct. 20 with South Hardin at a Class 2A meet in Garner and BCLUW going to Cedar Falls for a Class 1A meet.

Spartans sweep Tigers, capture another NICL West net crown by Scott Bierle Sports Editor ELDORA- The North Iowa Cedar League West Conference volleyball crown again resides in Grundy Center. The Spartans capped a perfect league campaign with a sweep of South Hardin here Tuesday and celebrated an eighth straight title. Grundy Center had little trouble with the Tigers, winning 25-11, 2515, 25-10 to finish 6-0 in NICL West matches and 18-0 in games. “It’s always a good feeling,” said Grundy Center coach Lori Willis on the NICL West title. “Winning doesn’t ever get old. Especially winning championships, that never gets old.” The conference win was the Spartans’ 53rd straight and the three straight games ran the set streak to 25-in-a-row after having a run of 127 consecutive sets won snapped last season. “We didn’t block as well as I would have liked,” South Hardin coach Greg Salvo said. “We executed our gameplan pretty well, we just missed a lot of hits down the lines. Our biggest thing is finding consistency in our play.” Grundy Center outhit the hosts, 43-22 in kills as the Spartans were 85-of-93 hitting. The winners had a .376 kill efficiency and the Tigers’ .064. The Spartans’ Kylie Willis drilled a match-high 13 kills on 27-of-28 hitting followed by Landry Luhring 11 kills, going 22-of-24 and Hailey Wallis nine kills on 19-of-20 hitting. Brooke Flater and Emmy Kracht added five kills each, while Sydney Mathews was credited with 36 assists. “We had a good hitting night. And the serving and serve reception was good,” noted Willis. Lexi Ryan’s seven kills on 20-of27 hitting led the Tigers with Dru Balvanz going 20-of-22 for six kills. Hanna VanderWilt had 10 assists
and Balvanz nine. An 11-1 scoring spree in the first set lifted Grundy Center. The run that included three Flater kills and six Kracht service points ballooned an 8-6 lead to 19-7. The Tigers scratched and clawed early in the second set and after a Balvanz kill and Rachel Weber service ace were down 13-10. The Spartans met the challenge with consecutive kills by Willis, Luhring, Kracht and again Willis to close on a 12-5 run. Game third was all Grundy, jumping to leads of 7-3, 13-5 and 21-7. Up 15-7, the Spartans scored the next six points with two kills for Wallis, one for Willis and a Kyah Luhring service ace. “I thought we played well in the second game. It just comes down to unforced errors,” noted Salvo. “We were flying around trying to make plays. I think the hustle was there. We have to go earn it.
