The photo doesn’t do it justice. In its time, this was one of a handful of Eldora Homes that really were hard to improve upon. They were the showcases and residential wonders of the town. The Hardin County Historical Society has a photo record of some of Eldora’s great mansions. The somewhat grainy reproductions have been incorporated into a poster size collector’s piece. It was compiled so long ago that no one with the society is exactly sure who was responsible for the preservation. The photo montage was assembled by some dedicated historian back in 1978.

You can’t see the stately residences any longer, (spare one, the historical society’s own museum home) because they were almost all lost to fire over the years. This one is the Wisner house. It set on a lot immediately north of the St. Paul Lutheran Church and Callie Wisner of Eldora says the picture faces to the south. To the best of everyone’s memory, it’s a view minus the servant’s quarters on the north side of the property. We have the other pictures of Eldora’s one time mansions inside this edition in the annual fall home improvement pages.
Eldora homes you could not improve upon
by Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – Someone – no one remembered with any assurance by the present day Hardin County Historical Society – this person compiled a record of some of the most stately homes Eldora has ever produced. It was back in 1978. The
individual’s work created a photo record of several houses deemed the town’s most noteworthy and elegant. And quite the images they were. Homes that needed no improvement. They were a statement of wealth, art and style in turn of the 20th century Eldora. It was a time when some of the home’s owners
were counted among Iowa’s social elite. The Hardin County Historical Society now keeps the photos and some bare bones information about the houses. Members are interested in anything more that might be known. If you can help, stop in at the society’s library downtown across from the courthouse on Edgington Avenue.
The grand old houses, with the exception of the one home that serves as the Hardin County Historical Society museum today, were all lost to fire, it is believed. Not implausible, when you inventory the elaborate kindling which went into the decorative statement inside and out. So, if you would like to help the society in
one last home improvement and enlarge on the town legacy, share what you know about the old mansions. Meanwhile, you can find in the fall home improvement section inside this newspaper. It was brought to you by advertisers who specialize in helping you improve your own home.

County considers some home improvements
By Rick Patrie News Editor HARDIN COUNTY – The county board of supervisors envision shifting several offices around in the county courthouse and county services building. Crowded conditions in the county attorney’s quarters in the courthouse set off the discussions. An increasing case load, and anticipation of more of the same, has prompted the board to consider moving the attorney’s office out of the courthouse and to the services building to the south. The whole upper floor of that building would be made available to the attorney’s staff, and this meanwhile would mean moving
some services which currently use that upper floor. Board member Lance Granzow said that the situation in the attorney’s courthouse basement office has reached the point, some staff are almost sharing a chair. The move would mean that the county veterans office which shares space on the upper floor of the county services building would have to move downstairs and meanwhile the county emergency management office would move out of the services building and into an office that has already been carved out for it in the relatively new emergency management garage just down the street on Edgington Avenue to the east.
That building was put up about five year ago and at the time of construction had accommodations for the office space already factored in. Some other very part time users of space in the county services building can continue to use space that’s been made available to them. The board said that all the moves between offices will also give the board an opportunity to push for re-arranging some other spaces in the courthouse and county services building, including opening up the areas to some maintenance, painting and otherwise. Final word on a timetable for all the moves awaits.

by Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – Tina and Rick Roll have just opened The Carriage House with a line of new-vintage, repurposed and handcrafted pieces. They will also custom build furnishings along the ‘farm house’ theme you find on display in their shop. The shop is on 1514 Edgington Avenue at the north end of a storefront which features “Creations” decor and services out on the street front. The Rolls’ have been using the space for warehousing
inventory involved in their online merchandising service. A lot of that merchandize is made by the couple themselves and the size of some of the items was beginning to preclude mail order shipping. So, the opening of the retail address. She describes the line as “farmhouse, cottage type décor.” They even market old barn doors repurposed for a second life. Plans are to rotate the new, re-purposed and handmade items. It is all rustic, rural and has a hand crafted look. The Rolls continue a series

The Barlow Challenge nets area projects thousands in matching dollars
By Rick Patrie News Editor HARDIN COUNTY – The Barlow Family Foundation fourthyear matching-funds Community Challenge took place from October 3-17 and included four area groups that were chosen by the Barlow Family Foundation board. Featured this year was the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office, the Hardin County Trail Commission, the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation Gunderson Park project and the Iowa Falls-Alden FFA. The report out this week shows the Hardin County Trails Commission, which among other efforts is spearheading a recreation trail from near Steamboat Rock in Hardin and on to Marshalltown in Marshall County, was the big winner. Over $22,000 as donated by supporters and with the match from the foundation the total raised came to $44,160. The Gunderson Nature Park in Eldora collected approx. $4,800 from donators and with the Barlow $4,800 match raised a total of $9,630. The Hardin County Sheriff’s office, raising money to fund a K-9 dog unit for the department raised $3,970 and with the equal match brought in a total of $7,940. And the Iowa Falls-Alden Schools FFA chapter raised $16,640 from supporters and with the same match brought in a total of $33,130. Since 2002, the Foundation has given more than 1.1 million dollars to area groups.
“We want to do whatever we can to help groups reach goals that they didn’t think possible, to finish projects that they thought would never be realistic,” said Pam Barlow
Angstman, chair of the Foundation Board. “We are helping with great ideas that will have big impacts on our area.” The Barlow Family Foundation
was started by the children of Bob and Jerene Barlow after their father, president of the Iowa Falls State Bank from 1953 until 1995, passed away. The Barlow family still owns the bank today. Bob and Jerene’s children wanted to continue the philanthropy that their parents had been doing for years, so they organized the Barlow Family Foundation as a means of granting funds for local projects. This year’s challenge went on for two weeks, from Monday, October 3 until Monday, October. 17. The four groups accepted donations during that time but there were some limitations. Gifts must come from individuals, not families or groups, be “new” money, not pledges, and should range from $25 to $100. That means, in a family of four people, each person is eligible to give up to $100 to each of the non-profits groups. If inclined, each person could give up to $100 to each group, but the maximum contribution is $100 per person. The Barlow Family Foundation matched up to the individual goal for each organization. It was up to each non-profit group to market its project and solicit donations. Each group kept a log of those donations and deposit the donations in bank accounts at the Iowa Falls State Bank. “Our goal is to expand each group’s base,” Angstman said. “This will give them more people to draw from in the future. It will get more people involved and invigorate the organizations.”

Public Record Flashback Friday
Obituaries
Lawrence L. Kadolph, 94
Taking a look back at local history from previous editions of the Eldora Newspapers. Compiled by Rob Maharry. Five years ago this week-2011 • More than 291,000 Iowans signed on to the governor’s new Healthiest State Initiative by participating in Start Somewhere walks held across Iowa on Friday, according to estimates by walk organizers. “In more than 2,300 group walks and thousands of individual walks, Iowans said ‘yes’ to starting our journey to becoming the healthiest state in the nation,” said Governor Terry Branstad, who announced the Healthiest State Initiative in August. Start somewhere walks were held in each of Iowa’s 99 counties, including one led by Governor Branstad around the State Capitol complex. They also included one here in Eldora sponsored by the community Hy-Vee and Fareway grocery stores. • No, the Eldora-New Providence school district hasn’t forgotten about its now-vacated one-time whole school, then just middle school. But for the moment at least, the nearly hundred year old schoolhouse has something in common with other institutions you hear about in the news—it’s a little too big to fall—at least right away. The subject came up during a discussion of long term goals for the district and its administrative team, when board member Joan Samp asked what was in the works for the old building. She said it was unsightly as a community statement, and it could become a lure to kids up to no good. But it is not likely to come down. Not anytime real soon. The cost of demolition could run close to a half million dollars, and though the district has actually set aside $100,000 in insurance money with the project in mind, coming up with the other $380,000 in the current fiscal climate doesn’t look realistic. 10 years ago this week-2006 • Dean Meier knew exactly what he was doing. The consultant from the Area 267 Education Agency took members of the Hubbard-Radcliffe and Eldora-New Providence school boards through what proved to be a fairly breezy and by some measures short session Thursday night as both groups began laying the groundwork for the whole grade sharing agreement due to be installed next fall. Meier smiled afterward and allowed that he hadn’t actually said a lot, but that the plan had probably been all along to allow the two groups to discover for themselves just how very few disagreements they had on the fundamentals. • The Central Iowa Juvenile Detention Center plan for building a whole new facility in Eldora has run into a couple of glitches involving property, but by appearances, neither couldn’t be overcome, accord-
ing to Hardin County supervisor Erv Miller, speaking last week. A meeting scheduled Friday last week was expected to come up with a new revised draft of the agreement between the 16 counties, which originally created the center several years ago. 25 years ago this week- 1991 • The Eldora Area Chamber and Development Council (EACDC) is among the first economic development groups in Iowa to install a new computer software package that will assist in new business attraction to Eldora. The University of Northern Iowa’s Institute for Decision Making installed CityBase software and provided training to the staff of the EACDC on its uses and applications. • Eldora Mayor A.E. Shepherd offered the official welcome to Mona Van Duyn, 1991 Pulitzer Prize winner, as she was honored at the high school gym Wednesday. By official proclamation of the mayor, the day was set aside by the school and local arts council to honor Miss Van Duyn. Supt. Ingvert Appel welcomed her on behalf of the school, and Principal Jim Sogard presented her with an Iowa State Education Award. Creative Writing teacher Kay Roelfsema, chairman of the day’s activities, formally introduced the honored guest, and several E-NP students involved in the same activities as Miss Van Duyn during her high school years made presentations. 50 years ago this week- 1966 • Following preliminary approval of a $100,000 FHA loan, a drive is now underway in quest of 200 members for a recreation development in Union. The proposed project could include a nine-hole golf course, swimming pool, lake and community building. The lake would result from construction of a dam to control flooding from the creek running from the northwest to the southeast corner of town. • Three farms in the Wellsburg area suffered damage about 6:30 p.m. Friday from the storm system that earlier in the day caused an estimated seven and a half million dollars in damage to the business and residential districts of Belmond. A funnel cloud touched down on the Edwin and Peter Bakker farm, two miles west and three miles south of Wellsburg, wrecking buildings in about a five-minute period. The funnel then skipped northwest to the Melvin Haupt farm, where a garage, trees and some windows were damaged. A corncrib was destroyed on the Edward Nederhoff farm, about two miles south and slightly west of Wellsburg. Tin sheets from a Bakker cow shed were found in a field near the Nederhoff farm, about one and a half miles away.

He attended several area schools and graduated from Zearing High School in 1939 and the six-week youth farm short course at Iowa State College. Lawrence was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church in Eldora. He was confirmed at St. Gabriel Catholic Church in Zearing. Lawrence became a resident of the Hubbard Care Center on February 14, 2011 where he received excellent care. He married Doris Arlene Winter at St. Mary Catholic Church in Eldora on April 19, 1947. The couple was blessed with five children: Steven, Lora, Sara, Allen, and Martha. Lawrence has eight grandchildren and 15 greatgrandchildren/ step-great-grandchildren. He taught his children the value of hard work, good money management, a good education, being responsible citizens, giving back to the community, and loving family. Lawrence and Doris operated a dairy and small grain farm. The family built a ranch-style house in 1964 from salvage lumber with help from friends and family and the guidance of Doris’ uncle August Schnormeier, a longtime Hubbard-area carpenter. To assist his children with their educational expenses and supplement family income, he also worked at Dayco Corp. in Eldora for 20 years. Lawrence and Doris built a fold-out camper and made great use of it on family vacations and camping with friends. He liked woodworking, fishing, and gardening. He passed his interest in the outdoors, conservation, and the environment to his children. Lawrence also looked forward to helping his son, Allen, with farm work even after he retired from farming. Lawrence was involved in his community. He was a 4-H leader of the Tipton Toppers; a member of the Hubbard Creamery Board; a member and officer of Hubbard Lions; a member and officer of the Knights of Columbus; a Lay Leader at St. Mary, a member of the Education Board of St. Mary, a member and officer of Big Green/Trees Forever, and a board member for the Home Maker Health Aides of Hardin County. He will be greatly missed by his wife of 69 years Doris, his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, extended family, and friends. He was an exceptional and hard-working husband, father, uncle, and friend. He had a strong faith and lived a life of generosity and service to others. We love him very much. Lawrence was preceded in death by his parents Raymond and Linda, younger sister Audrey, and older sisters Edna and Betty.

A complete story and pictures can be found in Tuesday’s Eldora Newspaper.
Tigers finish 1-3 at tourney, beat C-N WOODWARD- The South Hardin volleyball team’s fourth Saturday showing ended with a 1-3 match mark. The Tigers defeated Panorama at the Woodward-Granger tournament while losing to the host Hawks and twice to Grandview Christian. In pool play, South Hardin lost to Grandview 21-7 twice and beat Panorama 21-16, 21-14, followed by falling to ninth-ranked in Class 2A Woodward-Granger 25-20, 2624 and again to Grandview, No. 4 in 1A, 18-25, 25-23, 15-5. Senior outside hitter Lexi Ryan had a strong performance for the Tigers with a team-high 24 kills, 23 digs and went 28-of-28 serving with one ace in the nine sets. Nina Priske was next in kills with 15 followed by Dru Balvanz 13 and Hannah Tripp nine. Balvanz and Hanna VanderWilt divided the assists with 33 and 32, respectively.

South Hardin, AGWSR, BCLUW gridders hosting season finales by Scott Bierle Sports Editor ELDORA- Week nine of the prep football season has arrived and the South Hardin, AGWSR and BCLUW football teams will all host season finales. South Hardin will battle CollinsMaxwell-Baxter at Eldora in a Class 2A, District 3 game; AGWSR welcomes North Iowa to Ackley for an Eight-Player, District 2 contest, and BCLUW meets MFL-Mar-Mac from far northeast Iowa in a Class 1A, District 2 game. Both South Hardin and C-M-B will look to close the fall on a winning note which would be either team’s fourth. The host Tigers are 2-4 in the district and Raiders 3-3 after a 42-7 loss to district champion Dike-New Hartford a week ago. South Hardin lost a third straight game last Friday to Roland-Story, 35-6 and have been outscored 78-31 during that stretch. “Friday is about giving a good effort for four quarters, keep playing hard like we have all season and to honor our seniors,” said South Hardin coach Barry Scott. A parade of 15 Tigers will suit up for the final time, including Ty Cook, Jacob VandePol, Aden Butler, Ryland Duchane, Hunter Nessa, Jeff Thompson, Eli Roe, Alex Gustafson, Lane Reifschneider, Dane Butler, Cody Houck, Stephen Paxton, Quinton Lake, Malcolm Wright and Brandon Meints. Senior running back Blake Coughenour fuels the C-M-B of-
fense as he has rushed for over 1,000 yards, scored 94 points and is one of four Raiders with over 225 yards of receiving. Two quarterbacks have combined for over 1,200 of passing yards. “C-M-B likes to spread things out and move the ball all over the field from sideline to sideline,” said Scott. The Tigers and Raiders last met two years ago in a first-round playoff contest at Baxter and won by C-MB, 48-14. AGWSR will look to build momentum for the playoffs with a win over North Iowa. The Cougars secured a post-season berth last Friday by beating Janesville, 48-28 and claimed second place in District 2 of Eight-Player. The win improved AGWSR to 4-1 in the district and 6-2 overall. North Iowa has one win – 34-26 over Clarksville – to stand 1-4 in the district and 1-7 overall. North Iowa has been in a pair of high-scoring affairs the past two Fridays, losing 89-47 to Tripoli two weeks ago and 71-34 to Riceville last Friday. The Bison have allowed 514 points this fall for an average of 64 points per game. Senior Nathan Karsjens’ stellar season continued for the Cougars last Friday with three touchdown passes and two rushing scores, bringing his season totals to 10 scoring strikes and 15 rushing TDs. He has rushed for over 800 yards and passed for over 500. The prep football playoff pairings will be announced Saturday morning
with the first-round to be played Friday, Oct. 28. BCLUW has one last chance to book a victory this fall as the winless Comets entertain 2-6 MFL-MarMac. BCLUW tumbled to 0-6 in District 3 of Class 1A and 0-8 overall with a 49-0 loss to third-ranked Denver a week ago. The Bulldogs, 1-5 in the district, are riding a five-game losing skid, having not won since the district opener in early September, 22-0 over Central Springs. The Comets have been in a scoring drought the entire district campaign with just 32 points and two shutouts. The Grundy Center football team posted a second straight shutout victory, thumping North Butler, 55-0 last Friday. The Spartans were a 54-0 winner over Nashua-Plainfield two weeks ago. Grundy Center, 4-2 in the District 3 of Class A and 5-3 overall, will host West Fork in the season final. The Warhawks have won three-in-arow after an 0-5 start to the season. Senior running back Bryce Flater added to his impressive season totals with 256 yards on just 13 carries for nearly a 20-yard average and four touchdowns. For the fall Flater has 1,662 yards and 180 points with 27 touchdowns. The Iowa Falls-Alden football team journeys to Perry Friday after suffering a 42-7 loss to state-ranked Webster City a week ago. The Cadets are 3-5 overall and 1-5
STORY CITY- A 35-6 setback sent the South Hardin football team to a third straight loss here Friday. Host Roland-Story dealt the Tigers the Class 2A, District 3 loss, leaving South Hardin 2-4 in district play and 3-5 overall. The tandem of running back Caleb Schlatter and quarterback Brett Staton led the Norseman attack. Schlatter scored three touchdowns and rushed for 139 yards, while Staton did damage with his legs and arm – rushing for one touchdown and 90 yards, while throwing for 144 yards on eight completions and one scoring strike. Roland-Story scored seven points in the first, second and third quarters with 14 in the fourth. Schlatter crossed the goal line from threeyards in the second, 10 in the third and four in the fourth. Staton connected with Austin Hobbs on a 33yard touchdown toss to start the scoring and ran five-yards for six in the fourth. South Hardin was within 14-6 at the break, scoring on a 19-yard scoring strike from Ty Cook to Hunter Nessa in the second.
“We didn’t capitalize on things we should have. We had opportunities to make stops and could not get off the field defensively,” stated South Hardin coach Barry Scott. The Tigers continued to be offensively challenged, generating just 122 total yards – 65 passing and 57 rushing. South Hardin was checked to below 200 yards of offense for a third straight week and fifth time this fall. Cook connected on three passes for 40 yards with the one to Nessa and had a 25-yard reception, and Jeff
Thompson led the rushing with 40 yards on 13 carries. The Tigers’ tackle chart was spearheaded by linebacker Dane Butler with 12 solo stops and three assists. Cook was credited with seven solos and two assists and with six solos for Ryland Duchane and Nessa. Kevin Rewoldt recovered a fumble. The 29-point win clinched second place for the Norseman, improving to 5-1 in the district and 6-2 overall. South Hardin returns to Eldora for the season finale tonight (Friday) against Collins-Maxwell-Baxter.

Spartans oust Comets in post-season opener
BCLUW boys 3rd at NICL XC Meet, 2 Tigers all-conf. by Scott Bierle Sports Editor REINBECK- Three all-conference runners carried the BCLUW boys’ cross country team to a third place finish at the North Iowa Cedar League Cross Country Meet on the Oakleaf Golf Course here Saturday. Seniors Grant Baker and Ian Showers claimed top 10 placings for first-team honors, and sophomore Caleb Silver was second-team for the Comets. The South Hardin team leaders were once again Jacob Vander Wilt and Miquela Teske. VanderWilt earned second-team honors and Teske honorable mention. Baker and Showers repeated as first-team all-conference with placings of seventh and 10th, respectively, after taking ninth and 10th last fall. Both were sub 17-minutes with times of 16:51 for Baker and 16:56 for Showers. Silver then ran 17:12 for 12th. The Comets captured third in the conference 12-team field, gathering up 122 points. Dike-New Hartford finished fourth at 125 points. The fourth and fifth runners for BCLUW were Neifer Ralston 35th at 18:17 and Blake Mann in 19:29 for 60th. VanderWilt slipped into the second-team at 19th with a run of 17:27 and Teske’s top 30 run of 26th in 21:47 was good for honorable mention. The South Hardin boys ended eighth, scoring 184 points. After sophomore VanderWilt, the team’s counters were freshmen Justin Meints 33rd at 18:10 and Gavin Roy 43rd in 18:42, sophomore Cauy Teske 44th also at 18:42 and freshman Kolby Winter 49th in 18:50. “The boys ran pretty well. We had a bunch of younger kids running and they performed well,” said South Hardin coach Mike Olson. “Second-team all-conference for Jacob is a good effort and Gavin Roy had a really nice race,” he added. The South Hardin girls scored 246 points and settled for 10th in a field of 14-teams. Joining Teske as the five scorers were Jordan Carr 31st in 21:56, Chloe Webb 34th at 22:04, Laura Stanish 69th at 24-minutes and Courtney Murphy at 26:11 for 86th. Carr missed honorable mention by two-seconds. “The girls never got running and competing, we just ran the meet,” noted Olson. The BCLUW girls took 13th with a 407 team total. Samantha Schleisman was the team leader at 64th in 23:38. Milena Ralston counted 78th, Skylar Nelson 87th, Payton Pekarek 88th and Haley McDonald 90th. Grundy Center/Gladbrook-Reinbeck scored five all-conference honors led by first-team for Reegan Zinkula at eighth for the girls and Lily Ehlers 10th. Finn Cleveland and Dylan Hendricks were second-team for the boys at 17th and 18th, respectively. Honorable mention was Cora Saak at 29th. The Hudson girls and AplingtonParkersburg boys were run-away team champions, while A-P runners swept the gold medals. The Hudson girls with all five runners in the first 25, scored 60 points with Denver’s 113 good for second. Hud’s team leader was third place Jenna Twait at third. The A-P boys turned back defending champion East Marshall, 63 points to 74 as four Falcons finished in the top 11. A-P’s Sophia Jungling edged (continued on page 8A)

by Scott Bierle Sports Editor GRUNDY CENTER- Grundy Center overcame early nerves and an epic third game to turn back the BCLUW volleyball team in the postseason opener here Tuesday. The Spartans closed the net campaign on the rival Comets 25-13, 2517, 29-27 during a Class 2A, Region 4 first-round match. BCLUW’s attempt to force a fourth set fell just short. Back-andforth for the game’s entire 56 points, kills by first Landry Luhring and then Brooke Flater closed a wild third set and advanced the Spartans. The Comets fought off four match points. Down 24-22, Lauren Anderson drilled a kill and Kaylee Goecke landed a service ace to force extra points. BCLUW again pulled even at 26-all on a Grundy error and at 27-27 on Cate Nason’s tip. BCLUW’s one shot to win the third came up at 25-24 when the Spartans had a net violation, but Grundy’s Kylie Willis dropped a tip to pull even 25-all. The Comets led 14-13 in the third on an Easton Swanson kill and later 20-19 on Nason’s service ace. Grundy then scored five of the next seven points to lead 24-22 on a Hailey Wallis kill and four BCLUW miscues. “We battled. The girls never gave up and just came up short,” stated BCLUW head coach Kristin Garber. The opening-round loss eliminated the Comets at 22-9 – a third consecutive fall of 22 or more wins. “I felt we stayed close, we just never could get over the hump. Our serve reception was not as good as it needed to be,” added Garber. Grundy Center won by 12 and eight points in the first two sets, but were not Spartan sharp. “Our nerves got to us,” said Grundy Center head coach Lori Willis. “The girls realize you lose and your done, and they let that get to them.” A 14-3 run opened a 17-7 lead for Grundy in game one and after BCLUW battled back to 20-13, the hosts answered with a 5-0 run on three Emmy Kracht service aces and two Luhring kills.
ALL-CONFERENCE RUNNERSThe Tigers’ Miquela Teske (above 906) and Jacob VanderWilt (right) earned all-conference honors at the North Iowa Cedar League Cross Country Meet Saturday. VanderWilt placed 19th for second-team and Teske 26th for honorable mention. Jordan Carr (above 901) placed 31st in the girls’ race.
“I thought we had some girls step up tonight and show leadership. Landry stepped up when we needed her. It feels good to get that first one out of the way,” added Willis. Again BCLUW stayed within striking distance in the second set and trailed 12-11 when Grundy scored eight of the next 10 points to open a 20-13 lead. The Comets were within 21-15 and 23-17 when Luhring closed the game with a kill and service ace. Luhring hammered a match-high 12 kills on 33-of-38 hitting with 11 kills for Flater, who went 22-of-24. Wallis and Willis added nine kills
each, and Sydney Mathews directed the attack with 38 assists. The Comets countered with eight kills for Swanson going 25-of-32, Samantha Ubben six and Leah Yantis five. Nason booked 19 assists. “I’m just proud how the girls played hard and kept swinging. We knew tips and pushes would not work,” Garber added. The Spartans scored 10 service aces to the Comets’ two. For Grundy, Kracht was 13-of-13 with three aces and Willis 17-of-18 with another three aces. Luhring and Kyah Luhring had two service aces each. (continued on page 8A)

Cougars cruise in net opener by Scott Bierle Sports Editor ACKLEY- An opening-night post-season victory was captured by the AGWSR volleyball team with a sweep of Clarksville here Tuesday during Class 1A, Region 5 play. The Cougars were in control from start to finish, winning 25-10, 25-17, 25-15 over the visiting Indians. AGWSR ended with a 36-7 edge in kills as seniors Mariah Jimmerson, Alana Groninga and Maddie Brandt combined for 27 of the ace spikes. Jimmerson hammered 11 kills on 24-of-27 hitting with eight each for Groninga, going 16-of-21 and Brandt on 19-of-22 hitting. “We came out real aggressive in game one with our hitting and they didn’t get many returns,” said AGWSR co-head coach Betsy Harms. “In game two we went to more tipping and they were able to make returns, but in game three we got back to hitting and had a couple good serving runs by (Mandy) WIllems and (Maddie) Brandt),” she added. Willems and Sicard added four kills for the hosts
while Willems lofted 20 assists and Anna Jaspers 10. Jaspers was the top Cougar at the backline, going 13of-13 with three of the team’s eight service aces. Willems went 18-of-20 with two aces while Groninga was 9-of10, Sicard 9-of-11 and Jimmerson 8-of-9 all with one ace. Groninga’s 15 digs were a team-best with six for Jaspers and Sicard. The Cougars, 9-16 in wins and losses, advances to meet top-ranked in Class 1A Janesville on the Wildcats’ home court Monday (Oct. 24) at 7 p.m. Janesville stands 29-8 and owns a 16-match winning streak. “We need to be mentally prepared more than anything,” noted Harms, looking ahead to Janesville. “We can’t walk on the floor defeated. We need to go there ready to play and compete.” The AGWSR – Janesville winner meets the North Butler – Northwood-Kensett winner back in Janesville Thursday (Oct. 27) for a regional semi-final match. The Region 5 final is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 1 at Clarion. Clarksville finished the fall 5-19 with the loss.

An Eldora residential time capsule found in Historical Society files
Narrative above Several years ago someone took the trouble to gather together old photographs of some of Eldora’s more venerable and memorable homes. Today, the Hardin County Historical Society keeps the copies in a poster shown in parts on this page. To the left is the enlarged commentary which came with the piece. The collection was put together on the occasion of Eldora’s 125th Jubilee, but no one with the society is quite sure who gathered the pictures together. Time wasn’t always kind to the houses, but one remains easily recognized, in the Hardin County Historical House on South Washington Street.

Real estate recovery suggested in study
By Rick Patrie News Editor HARDIN COUNTY – Iowa in general has come back fairly well from the housing crisis, and if you take a look at markets right around Hardin County there’s probably a good suggestion of the pace of recovery here, too. It was a timely topic when the Eldora Newspapers put together their May 2016 spotlight on real estate and remains so with the year winding down. Back in early summer, an interactive piece in the Washington Post e-pages took a look at what had happened in local real estate
1314 Washington, Eldora
markets between 2004 (before the peak of the housing run-up) through 2015, charting the recovery from the big 2007 fall. The Post analysis, based on data from Black Knight Financial Services spanning that 2004 through 2015, shows how the nation’s housing recovery has “exacerbated inequality, leaving behind many Americans of moderate means. It also helps explain why the economic recovery seemed incomplete, especially in neighborhoods where the value of housing — often the biggest family asset — has recovered little, if at all. The study took the measure of

housing values right down to the zip code address. Iowa home prices were up 16 percent over 2004, to $171,366 average value in 2015. That’s an average increase of almost $24,000. Around the local area: There were a few areas around the country and in Iowa where the Black surveys couldn’t glean results for a specific zip code, and as luck would have it, here in Hardin County you found some. But, all around our neighboring communities provided data that likely reflects on us. For instance. Humbolt, home values up 18 percent since 2004, with the average price now $127,598. Clarion was up 31 percent with the corresponding figure $160,775, Fort Dodge, 19 percent $140,956; Boone is up 16 percent, to $140,372; State Center, up 16 percent to $144,196; Grundy Center up 28 percent to
$144,312; Marshalltown up just four percent to $122,710; Hampton up 19 percent to $130,090, Aplington up 21 percent to $116,404; Parkersburg up 20 percent to $145,951, and Conrad was up 28 percent to $138,419. The report said the overall U.S. housing market has recovered from the crisis that plunged the country into recession. But the analysis by The Post shows that the recovery has been “extremely uneven, creating winners and losers along lines of race, income and geography.” Since 2004, homes in the most expensive neighborhoods have gained 21 percent. Regional factors such as the Western energy boom explain some differences, but in many cities the housing market’s arc has deepened disparities . Also striking is how minority
neighborhoods lag in the recovery. Zip codes where blacks are the largest population group are more than twice as likely as white Zip codes to have homes now worth less than in 2004. A nation of unequal housing fortunes The Post-Black Knight report was built upon an analysis of 19,000 Zip codes. At the beginning of this period, values escalated rapidly in the bubble, fueled by financial speculation, subprime lending and a faith that home values would always go up. Prices peaked by 2007, then collapsed, causing the worst recession since the Great Depression. Trillions of dollars of wealth were lost and millions lost their homes to foreclosure as values dropped to their low point in 2011. Among major cities, home values are up the most in a broad band from Texas up to the Northwest. Metro areas that are still feeling the most
pain — where a dramatic housing bubble was followed by a dramatic plunge — are in California’s Central Valley, the upper Midwest, the suburban Northeast and, of course, Florida. The reports are based on an analysis of data on the market value of single-family homes from Black Knight Financial Services. The estimates reflect repeat sales and loan data from 2004 to 2015 across the country, down to the neighborhood level for some 19,000 Zip codes. Values are actual and not adjusted for inflation. The data are adjusted to correct for the sales prices of distressed properties such as foreclosures to better capture what homes would sell for on the open market. Areas with few singlefamily homes or few sales are not included, and neither are condos. Home values for 2015 are not shown for about 750 Zips where estimates are based on data for larger areas.
County housing rehab program Project similar to efforts in Eldora during recent years
By Rick Patrie News Editor HARDIN COUNTY – For a half dozen years Hardin County has partnered with Region 6 Housing Trust Fund to make a small dent in the stock of substandard housing in the county. Not long ago the board of supervisors signed on to provide almost $16,000 as the county match to the program. Last year the project resulted in about $123,000 being spent on
repairs around the county. Six homes located in Alden, Hubbard, Union and Iowa Falls were fixed up. This year seven homes were slated for work. They included homes in Iowa Falls, Buckeye and Alden again. There is a considerable waiting list, about two years long at time. Homeowners need to meet income guidelines, but if they can they can qualify for wholly forgivable loans. That is assuming the repairs are completed and the residents stay at
the location for five years. Region 6 works with a multi county central Iowa area. A lot of the work done is on house roofs and he emphasis is on basic repairs that bring the house up to habitable standards. The regional housing trust was created to help the area secure state aid for improvements. Work has been done in Hardin, Marshall, Poweshiek and Tama counties. The project is looked on as a way
to pool state and local resources. The large stock of older housing in the area is one of the factors involved in the establishment of the trust. Up to $25,000 of housing improvement assistance is available per household, one time only. Up to $10,000 is available on rental property. The project is similar to ones employed in the city of Eldora to help property owners make improvements.

Hardin County surrounded by Ash Borer sightings Iowa now has thirty-six infested counties after discovery at Lake Iowa
by Rick Patrie News Editor DES MOINES – So far, Hardin County has been overlooked by the Emerald ash borer (EAB), a very destructive, exotic insect scourge of ash trees – but the bug has just recently been confirmed in Iowa County, and this finding brings the total to thirty-six counties in Iowa. And if you look at the map above, it is clear the infestation is creeping in around us. On a national scene, EAB has been found in 28 states and has killed tens of millions of ash trees. It is a destroyer of trees and a big impact on residential values. There are cures, but they are very expensive and experts are not even urging their use in all situations. The recent Iowa discovery took place at Lake Iowa Park (Iowa County Conservation Board) after staff alerted the Iowa EAB Team of some ash trees showing signs and symptoms of EAB attack. Following further investigation, insect samples
were collected and later positively identified as EAB by a federal identifier. “It would be pretty realistic to say that emerald ash borer did not make its way to Lake Iowa Park on its own, but by campers hauling in firewood,” said Mike Kintner, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship EAB and gypsy moth coordinator. “Southeast Iowa appears to be the area hit hardest in the state by EAB, so infested firewood movement from a nearby county could very well have been a contributing factor.” The Iowa EAB Team strongly urges Iowans to use locally sourced firewood, burning it in the same county where it was purchased. Firewood is a vehicle for the movement of EAB; too many infestations in the United States have started by people unknowingly transporting infested firewood. The adult beetle is metallic green and only about one-half inch long and slender, making it difficult to recognize in the landscape. The larval stage of this wood-boring insect tunnels under the bark of ash trees, disrupting the flow of water
and nutrients, ultimately causing the tree to die. EAB-infested ash trees display canopy dieback beginning at the top of the tree and progressing downwards, S-shaped feeding galleries under dead or splitting bark, D-shaped exit holes, water sprouts (along the trunk and main branches), and increased woodpecker activity to the bark. At this calendar date, the window for all preventive treatments has closed. If a landowner is interested in protecting a valuable and healthy ash tree within 15 miles of a known infestation, he or she should have landscape and tree service companies bid on work, review the bids this fall/ winter, and treat beginning spring 2017 (early April to mid-May). The State of Iowa will continue to track the movement of EAB on a county-by-county basis. Before a county can be officially recognized as infested, EAB must be collected by a member of the Iowa EAB Team and verified by USDA entomologists. To learn more about EAB and other pests that are threatening Iowa’s tree population, please visit www. IowaTreePests.com.
Heat assistance season begins
by Rick Patrie News Editor IOWA FALLS – Beginning Oct. 1, Mid-Iowa Community Action, Inc. started accepting applications for the agency’s Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). The heating assistance project is all but a signature for community action offices everywhere. And now that the heating season is upon us, the agency will accept applications from individuals age 60 or older and those with a disability. On November 1, MICA will begin accepting all other LIHEAP applications. LIHEAP provides a one-time payment to help pay a household’s heating costs. To be eligible for assistance, individuals must earn 175 percent or less of federal poverty guidelines. This year, an individual can earn up to $20,790
annually to be eligible. A family of four can earn up to $42,525. Funded by the Department of Health and Human Services through the Iowa Department of Human Rights/ Division of Community Action Agencies, LIHEAP is not designed to pay a household’s total energy costs for the winter. Instead, it provides supplemental assistance based on several factors, including household income, household size, dwelling type, type of heating fuel, and others. Households that are approved for LIHEAP may also qualify for weatherization services from MICA as well. Applicants that are between 175% and 200% of poverty guidelines (between $42,525 and $48,600 for a family of four) do not qualify for a LIHEAP award but do qualify for moratorium protection and are eligible for weatherization.
To apply, contact MICA’s Hardin County Family Development Center at 637 S. Oak Street in Iowa Falls. To schedule an appointment, call 641-648-5036. LIHEAP forms and instructions may also be found on www.micaonline.org. Applications will be accepted through April 30, 2016. To apply, please bring the following to your appointment: • A copy of your most recent heating and electric bill. • Proof of all household members’ gross incomes for the past three months or the most recent income tax return. • Birth dates and general information for all household members. • Social Security cards or I-94 cards for all household members. If a household does not have either of these, please contact MICA for more information. Call your local MICA Family Development Center.
Your home as a business and liability implications
by Rick Patrie News Editor IOWA – Your home can make you money. But be careful about the insurance implications, says the state Insurance Commissioner. “In today’s sharing economy, technological advances allow homes and cars of private individuals to be used to earn extra cash. With only a few taps on a smartphone, Iowans can rent a vacation home via sites like Airbnb, VRBO or HomeAway and be picked up at the airport and onto their vacation home using sites like Uber or Lyft,” says Nick Gerhart, Iowa Insurance Commissioner. This change toward the sharing economy has big insurance implications. “The downside of an ordinary home or car owner making some extra cash is that they often fail to realize that their personal insurance policies are not in effect while business purposes are being conducted. Sometimes the coverage that is available is simply too costly to justify renting out a home or driving a car part-time. Regardless, having no insurance coverage in
effect is bad for the owner, bad for the tenant/rider, and bad for any bank or credit union that may have a loan on the house or vehicle,” he adds/ Earlier this year, new laws were implemented in Iowa to help protect consumers by ensuring who could drive for transportation network companies (Uber, Lyft, etc.) and ensuring that they had adequate insurance coverage while carrying consumers. Insurance companies are also looking to innovate in this area to help get rid of any gaps in coverage. Many companies, such as Allstate, Erie, USAA, Progressive, MetLife, Metromile and Geico are providing some form of ridesharing insurance policies available in certain states. “In Iowa, Slice, a recently launched insurtech startup is currently utilizing technology that allows pay-per-use insurance coverage for home-sharing and is looking to expand to ride-sharing soon. “This all may sound very wonky but trust me - it has real life consequences. For example, a man
renting a home in Texas was killed when a tree limb holding a rope swing broke. Other stories of injuries or stolen possessions are out there. That’s why getting rid of any gaps in coverage is important for consumers as they participate in the sharing economy. As Iowa’s insurance regulator, I applaud innovations in this area that can help Iowans ensure they are adequately protected, their assets are adequately covered and the companies are solvent to be able to pay claims when needed. “This changing technology and its effect on consumers will be highlighted during the next Global Insurance Symposium (www. globalinsurancesymposium.com) held in Des Moines in April. The Iowa Insurance Division is proud to help bring thought leaders from around the world to Iowa to discuss these important issues. “I’m proud of the fact that Iowa is providing the kind of regulatory environment where consumers are protected and in which innovation in the insurance industry can thrive,” Gerhart says.
Cleanup can be a slow process in communities By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – The question is perennial. Why is it so hard for the city to enforce compliance with property standards? Why do blighted properties seem to have more lives than the alley cat? It was a couple of years ago we checked with the city attorney in Eldora, and his response bears repeating. The city attorney’s office will tell you there is no one reason, because almost every situation and case is a
little different. That said, city attorney Martin Peterson said, of the now overdecade long cleanup-fix up project in Eldora – he says the one overriding reason it often takes so long to cleanup areas. Costly litigation. Or the avoidance of it. There are of course city ordinances touching on property upkeep and even safety. But behind all the municipal rules, the State of Iowa has a bank of statutes governing property rights
and they tend very deliberately to give strong protections to property owners. The burden to prove one’s case falls on anyone who wants to interfere in the exercise of a property
owners rights – not the other way around. So it’s a quite practical and healthy fear of ending up in court that slows down the whole process of forcing cleanups, demolitions or

other actions. Going to court costs money, and if you go and can’t meet that Iowa ‘burden of proof’ test, the costs can jump exponentially. When cities end up in court, it’s taxpayers who pay.
It makes it tough for government, big or small, to step in and interfere with property rights. According to city attorney Peterson, property rights rank right up
