Council favors new ambulance center Council appears to have passed on scaled back plan using old city hospital site
by Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – Monday night, the bulk of the Eldora town council and mayor Bob Jeske seemed inclined to build a completely new and more centrally located ambulance service headquarters. Build somewhere downtown – foregoing suggestions to simply enlarge the current site at the old city hospital instead. Several members of the council suggested their support was not just about issues of bricks, mortar, location and specifications – but also a gesture of appreciation to the emergency crews – and an expression of confidence in the judgment of long-time service director Corey Larson. It was not the only option on the table that evening, however. Council member Melody Hoy had asked the council to engage an engineering study of the old city hospital building, to determine
whether it could still accommodate the ambulance service – albeit with considerable reconstruction and renovation. Hoy said she supported new quarters for the ambulance crews, and new garages and other facilities, but worried the city was missing an opportunity to make better use of a large building (the vacated hospital south wing) which it already owns. She said city residents needed to know the council has exhausted every opportunity to cut costs by keeping the service at its present address. Ambulance service director Larson has been unequivocal that the growing operation needs new quarters in a more central location downtown. The service is currently located in the one time hospital structure. An alterative plan advanced by an Eldora private citizen would have it stay there, with a new garage added
and new administrative areas carved out of unused portions of the hospital site. Everyone agrees big changes are needed. Right now the more modern and larger ambulance units will barely fit through the garage doors. And one of the three emergency vehicles has to be stored offsite. Deciding whether the hospital site is a workable option would have required about $10,000 to fund an engineering study, and it was that proposal which was voted down by four of five council members. The issue is money – but not necessarily taxpayer money, because for the last dozen years the city ambulance service has effectively been self-funding, operating on user fees. Nonetheless, concerns were expressed that the new construction might outstrip the service’s future cash flow, obligating the city’s to cover the mortgage. Neither the
cost of renovating the hospital nor the cost of building wholly new have ever been stipulated. Both await specifications. But the Eldora resident who first advanced the more scaled back hospital renovation idea, Sam Estes, says he sees his option happening for “a fraction of what the city administration would need” to find another site and build all together new. Estes said several weeks ago, “I really appreciate the work these people do, but the city needs to know a firm figure on its revenue stream from the ambulance service. And then judge just how big a project the town can fit into that cash flow.” But Monday night the city council, and mayor clearly telegraphed they were more inclined to look for a new location and erect a new building rather than further renovate unused areas of the one-time hospital. Some council members worried about disruption which remodeling could
cause medical providers in a north wing of the hospital site. Others worried about the useful life left in the hospital structure. Others worried about the East Edgington Avenue address’ tendency to quickly clog with snow each winter. For her part, council member Hoy said she worried the city was wasting an opportunity to make use of a good property it already owns. While her fellow councilmen questioned the serviceability of the hospital, Hoy said she was much more optimistic about its renewability. The long patient wing of the old hospital has essentially been sealed off for years. The city has tried to encourage some type of development within it. So far to no success. Only a refurbished north wing has been used, home to multiple medical providers for over a decade – and home to the ambulance service. Exactly how much the city might spend on complete new construction
depends on design work, but city hall insists a much-quoted $2.5 million figure that has been associated with the initiative is not a true projection, instead a ceiling on any finance package. Both city manager Bruce Bierma and Larson have said the actual cost would be considerably less. There were hints during Monday night meeting that the figure could be somewhere nearer $1.5 to $1.7 million. Estes’ plan has yet to get a dollar figure either, pending plans and specifications, but he reiterated his project could be brought in for a just a fraction of what appeared to be the city’s alternative. Meanwhile, across town Monday night the Eldora new Providence school board was meeting and deciding not to offer a piece of its property east of the elementary school for sale to the city for use as (continued on page 3)

They were literally rolling out Washington Street south of city hall in recent days. By Monday night crews had advanced as far as 18th Street along Washington. The block in front of city hall was yet to come. It is part of a project that has run the course of the summer here. The heavily travelled route into Eldora had become badly deteriorated. Utilities were replaced, and the expectation is that most of the sidewalk replacement involved may wait till next spring. That had been the original plan in any case. The project is mostly federally funded, part falls on property owners along the street.

Remains believed to be missing Whitten man Ian Aiken disappeared August 23 By: ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register WHITTEN- Human remains discovered in a cornfield east of Whitten on Saturday night are believed to be those of Ian Aiken, who had been missing since August 23, according to information released by the sheriff’s offices in Grundy and Hardin Counties. A representative from the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, who declined to give more specific details at this time, told The Grundy
Register that a farmer discovered the remains while harvesting outside of Whitten in the far southwest corner of Grundy County. An autopsy is being conducted this week, and further information could be released when it is concluded. Aiken, 32, was a resident of Whitten and a 2002 graduate of BCLUW High School. The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigations and the Hardin County E-Squad all assisted in the investigation.

Iowa Corn Farmers host Japanese
(continued from page 1)
Japan leads the way in imports of U.S. corn as well as co-products such as distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGs). Currently, the country ranks as the second largest market for U.S. corn. So far in the 2015/16 marketing year, Japan has imported more than 409 million bushels of U.S. corn, valued at more than $1.8 billion dollars. In the 2014/15 marketing year, Japan bought more than 472 million bushels U.S. corn, valuing $2.2 billion dollars. Japan is currently the tenth largest buyer of U.S. DDGS for this year, having purchased more than 295 million metric tons of the corn co-product, valued at $57.8 million dollars. The Export Exchange conference is slated to be the largest on record with more than 215 buyers and end-users from more than 35 countries, organized into 19 USGC trade teams. Export Exchange allows attendees to do business and form relationships with buyers in person and in one location. More information about Export Exchange 2016, including registration details, is available at www.exportexchange. org or on social media using the hashtag #ExEx16. The Iowa Corn Promotion Board (ICPB), works to develop and defend markets, fund research, and provide education about corn and corn products. The Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) is an 8,000-member strong grassrootsdriven organization, headquartered in Johnston, Iowa.
And it brings the tour group to the Radcliffe area farm of Iowa Corn Growers Association board of director member Denny Friest. The visit will end out the first day of the tour. Friest is well known here and around Iowa for returning the visits, travelling around the world, and particularly in Asia pushing corn and soybean products for the two producer industries. “The goal of hosting this team will be to maintain and further the relationships the U.S. Grains Council has cultivated between U.S. suppliers and Japanese importers, grain processors and end-users,” said Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) Director Carl Jardon, a farmer from Randolph. “This mission trip will give them the opportunity to see the corn production chain firsthand, ask questions directly at farms, elevators and ethanol plants, increasing their understanding of the quality advantages of U.S. corn and DDGs.” Their journey through Iowa will begin on Thursday in Des Moines with a tour of DuPont Pioneer’s Research and Development headquarters and laboratories. Then they will travel on Friday to Jewell to visit the Poet ethanol plant as well as the Ag Partners coop in Ellsworth. Their day will then end with a tour of ICGA Director Denny Friest’s farm in Radcliffe. On Saturday, they will visit the Green Plains ethanol production facility in Shenandoah on the way to their final stop at ICGA Director Carl Jardon’s farm in Randolph. “U.S. corn exports are doing well right now, largely due to Brazil and Argentina’s drought,” said Jardon. “More countries like Japan are shifting to U.S. corn which is good for Iowa’s farmers. We will hopefully give them the right tools they need to purchase the highquality U.S. corn they demand and continue to increase their confidence in the United States’ ability to provide them with a consistent product. It will be especially crucial for them to learn about the long-term purchasing strategies and utilization of U.S. distillers grains in their feed rations.” With a population of 127 million and a thriving agricultural sector,

Council leans toward all new ambulance center
(continued from page 1) the ambulance center. Concerns were cited about the fast paced comings and goings of emergency vehicles so close to the schoolhouse. Again it is worth emphasizing, the Eldora ambulance service is a quasiindependent department, operating off revenues it receives for its services – and not from tax receipts. The finance package being envisioned would presumably come in the form of a loan through a USDA Rural Development program, and the repayment on the loan would come though ambulance service user fees. The city could only incur liability if the ambulance service were to become unable to make the debt service. Monday’s city council session did give rise to some questions about whether the ambulance service should see itself as ‘forever without’ taxpayer support. The service has grown exponentially in recent years, in a way filling something of a void left by the closing of the Eldora hospital. Similar ambulance services throughout the state commonly ask taxpayer backing, and the suggestion was that Eldora might someday be looking at the prospect. The service has over doubled it calls in the last decade – serving a high density elderly population, and also taking on patient transport duties for area and even regional hospitals and nursing homes. This has all helped increase revenue and helped pay for a much more professional and highly credentialed staff.

Letters to the Editor Democrat or Republican does it really make any difference?
To the Editor: In this election there are a lot of people who are not voting for a candidate rather they are voting against a candidate. I was a lifelong Democrat till Obama opened my eyes. I don’t particularly like Donald Trump. I think Dr. Ben Carson was the only person running who was actually qualified for the job of U.S. President. But lets look at Hillary Clinton. She is for open borders, sanctuary cities, bringing in thousands of Muslim refugees, a minimum wage that is already bringing in automation in the fast food industry causing the loss of entry level jobs, she will continue to deplete the military, and she will appoint liberal judges who will gut the US Constitution. Now lets look at the consequences of a Clinton presidency. A good number of illegal aliens entering this country are felons and all are breaking U.S. Immigration laws. And when they kill someone like Kate Steinle it will be partly your fault if you vote for Hillary Clinton. She will bring in Muslims that can not be vetted and when the Is-
lamic terrorists in their midst start killing infidels (that means anyone who is not a Muslim) you will again be partly responsible if you vote for Hillary Clinton. And when they rape a six-year-old girl because the Koran says they can, you will be partly responsible. Wendy’s fast food restaurant is already installing 6,000 ordering kiosks in its restaurants. That is 12,000 jobs lost and that is just the beginning due to an unrealistic minimum wage. The Attorney General has already stepped on the first amendment by saying she will prosecute anyone speaking out against Muslims. Of course she didn’t mention Christians or Jews. And we all know Hillary wants to delete the second amendment. Wake up America before this great country is turned into a third world hellhole. Once it is gone it will never return, think of your children and grandchildren when you vote. Like it or not Donald Trump is the only hope for this country to flourish again. God save the United States. John A. Hartman Steamboat Rock
Knox supporter To the Editor: I am writing this letter to let your readers know about my experiences with Candidate Mike Knox, who is running for the Iowa House of Representatives in District 49. Mr. Knox, who runs on the ticket of “Pick a Person - Not a Party” is one of those individuals who will work hard to represent all people in District 49. He is probably the most hard working, dedicated individual I personally know. Mr. Knox, like most Americans, not just in Story County, or Iowa or these great United States of America, feels that it is time for a
change and the best way to see that happen is to run on a non-party, or a Nomination by Petition. Mr. Knox has been an active member of our Cystic Fibrosis Team “Charlie’s Angels,” this is where I first got to know the Mike Knox that I feel will be a person who can start a change at the Iowa State House. He will be a person that listens, analyzes and then presents suggestions that will work with the issue he is undertaking. Take the time to look at his website www.picknox.com. You will not be disappointed. Lynn Moore, Kelley, Iowa
I would like to show my support for Mike Knox, candidate for District 49 Iowa House of Representatives. (District 49 represents the south half of Hardin County in the Statehouse) He is a non party affiliated candidate. I feel it is time to break from tradition and get behind a man with vision who will truly work on be-
to achieve a common goal for the people he represents. To quote Mr. Knox “I don’t want to reach across the aisle, I want to stand in the aisle.” People should take a good hard look at his vision. Also his personal joy and happiness to others. Take a look folks. You’ll like what you see. Vicki Sparks, Nevada

Taking a look back at local history from previous editions of the Eldora Newspapers. Compiled by Rob Maharry. Five years ago this week-2011 • Winter is looming, and the county is pressing to complete three quarters of its own downtown renewal. The other quarter awaits spring. If you’ve been watching, the trees have reappeared on the courthouse grounds. They don’t make quite the statement of their predecessors, and they are mostly devoid of leaves and only about 15 to 20 feet tall—but that is all they are supposed to be. The landscape engineers are making the plantings while the young trees are in dormancy, and they say the new growth should spring launch after the winter passes. • Teresa Knutsen of Iowa Falls is chairing the group of friends and supporters who have adopted the troubles of an Eldora family which has two children facing a long medical challenge. She provided the basis for the story that follows. In a letter to the newspapers she said, “I would like to take the time to tell everyone about the Kirby/Tilander family in Eldora.” Amy Kirby and her boyfriend, Chuck Tilander, are raising three children, Alex, 13, Molly, 15, and Samantha, 16 years old. And they are also coping with one of the scariest scenarios parents face, ill children, Knutsen says. Alex and Molly were both diagnosed with a very rare genetic disease, Pediatric Nephnonophthisis
with a homozygous deletion of the NPHP1 gene. “It’s quite a mouthful, I know. Basically it means your kidneys will fail. There is no cure for this, and it always ends with the need for a kidney transplant.” 10 years ago this week-2006 • The tragic death of a young Eldora man—which in the first hours produced a media free-for-all—came to a quieter and more solemn turn at the Hardin County Courthouse Tuesday evening. A grand jury of seven Hardin County citizens, put on a panel to hear investigators’ information on the circumstances surrounding the death of Brian Gregory, Jr., came back saying it could not find grounds for charges against the police officers involved. Mr. Gregory died in the course of his apprehension on an alleged probation violation this past June. Some initial reports in the media were rife with speculation that Mr. Gregory’s death was attributable to excess force by officers subduing him in the course of following up on a call to the site on Eldora’s west side. • Fourteen pairs of feet belonging to members of the BCLUW girls’ and boys’ cross country teams will run at the state meet Saturday. The BCLUW boys advanced to the state show for a third time in four falls, while the girls qualified as a team for the first time ever. “This is really exciting to have both teams going to state,” said BCLUW coach Donna Fiscus. “And
Friday, Oct. 28, 2016 • Page 5
Flashback Friday I think it is only going to help. Both teams will feed off each other.” 25 years ago this week- 1991 • The recount of the Eldora-New Providence community school district is officially completed. During a special meeting Friday afternoon of the three-member panel which completed the recount, the final tally was confirmed. The completed count shows 1,176 votes in favor of Proposition A and 747 votes against. The count has the question being approved by a 61.15 percent majority. For proposition B, the count was 1,160 votes in favor and 750 against for a 60.73 percent majority. Members of the recount panel were Carl King, who represented a group of petitioners who asked for the recount; Boone County Auditor Al Sorenson who represented the Hardin County Auditor, Renee McClellan and a third party, Norma Hassig of Iowa Falls. • Hubbard and Union have been named two 49 communities to participate in “IE Branching Out,” the tree-planting program sponsored by Iowa Electric Light and Power Company and Trees Forever, a special program of the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation. Hubbard’s branching out committee will receive $1,500 in financial support to assist in its urban treeplanting efforts. Union’s committee will receive $1,000. 50 years ago this week- 1966 • The Cervetti Construction Co. of Steamboat Rock will begin work
Wednesday on the new building for the First National Bank of Eldora. Occupancy is expected by late spring of next year. An architectural drawing of the new building, as prepared by F.H. Cervetti of Marshalltown, architectural and structural engineer, is shown above. The building will be located on the former First Baptist Church site at the southwest corner of the courthouse square. • Drive goal for the Eldora hospital follow-up canvass has been set at $175,000, it was announced here Friday. This will include unpaid pledges from the original 1963 drive plus funds from those who failed to contribute at that time and from new residents. The campaign for additional funds results from increased construction costs, loss of pledges through death, departures from the community and the recent decision to construct an additional operating room in the new hospital. • Monday night the board of directors of the Eldora Industrial Development Corporation voted to purchase 39 acres of land from C.O. Rubow for a new industrial park area. The land is located west and south of the old 17 acre industrial park. The corporation will pay $17,455.94 or a little over $450 an acre for the land. C.O. Rubow purchased the land from H.J. Garles last year and held the property until the development group could make arrangements for the purchase.
Vote for BJ Hoffman To the Editor: Our local civil servants are our first line of defense and protection from a government and bureaucracy that is out of control. Our county supervisors bear tremendous responsibility for what happens in our county, our communities, in our back yard! I would like you to strongly consider voting for BJ Hoffman, candidate for County Supervisor in Har-
din County. BJ is a fourth generation Hardin County resident and farm owner with a depth of experience as an EMT, firefighter, healthcare provider and small businessman. He cares about his neighbors, our community and our county. Together we must be good stewards of what we are responsible for. Let’s move together to make a difference. Roger Sutton, Eldora
Says vote Hoffman To the Editor: I highly urge voters to support BJ Hoffman for Hardin County Supervisor in the upcoming election. A hard working, generous leader, BJ Hoffman will be an excellent representative of his constituents. Always eager to lend a helping hand, BJ is a
fair minded, level headed man that will do the right thing, even in tough decisions. Hardin County will be fortunate to have BJ Hoffman as a Supervisor. Becky Beach CEO Puppy Jake Foundation Des Moines
Supports Hoffman To the Editor: I am writing this letter to the voters of Hardin County. I would like to tell you why I endorse William “BJ” Hoffman for Hardin County Supervisor. I have known Mr. Hoffman since he was the fire chief in Windsor Heights at age 28. He led a progressive fire department comprised of career and volunteer firefighters and paramedics. His dedication to the community, his staff, and his family are something Hardin County voters should have no doubts. After serving in the fire service and E.M.S. service for nearly 18 years Hoffman has continued to be a leader in the community
following in the footsteps of his very community minded father. As a man of faith, a father, an advocate for veterans’ services like the Puppy Jake Foundation, a steward of the land, and someone that will take care of every tax dollar as it his own, William Hoffman is a champion for the resident’s of Hardin County. As you fill your absentee ballot out or as you walk in to cast your vote on November 8th I strongly encourage you to vote for William Hoffman for Hardin County Supervisor. Senator Brad Zaun Senate District 20 Representing Urbandale, Johnston and Grimes
Supports Rickels To the Editor: Ronn Rickels is completing his first term on the Hardin County Board of Supervisors and is running for re-election. He has done an outstanding job on the Board and certainly deserves another term. Ronn is a very thoughtful board member who researches the issues before making decisions. As a former
teacher and volleyball coach, he has worked with our youth to help educate them to be future leaders. As a former board of supervisor member myself, I know the good work he is doing and I strongly support Ronn. The current supervisors work well together as a team. Jim Johnson Eldora, Iowa.
Support Rickles To the Editor: We have known Ronn Rickles for many years. He is a man of principle and a man of his word. He has done a great job his first term as a county supervisor and deserves to be reelected. Party affiliation should not
be a factor at this level of government. Please give Ronn your support and reelect him as a Hardin Co. Supervisor. Michelle Grist, Roger Nissly, Rob Wohlert Members Iowa Falls City Council

Steamboat Rock Progress Club meets Fifteen members of the Steamboat Rock Progress Club were greeted by Uncle Sam at the door of the Civilian Conservation Corp/ Prisoner of War Recreational Hall and Museum on Thursday, Oct. 20. This building is located on the Hardin County Fairgrounds and was listed in the National Historic Register in 2012. It is in the process of being renovated to its original condition and has unique features in its wooden, hooked windows and five panel doors. Our hostess, Becky Rose gave us a tour, pointing out many interesting articles, pictures, clothing and a model of the camp as it was in the 1930s. This camp was started by President Roosevelt’s Emergency Conservation Work Act in 1933 and lasted till 1941 when most of the men enlisted in the army at the start of WWII. There were five barracks that could house 250 unmarried men who ranged from 17-24 and as many as 1,000 men came through the camp. Efforts are ongoing to develop a roster of camp attendees. Most stayed six to 18 months and worked hard at building
Upper Pine Lake, dams, trails and planting trees and many other activities. During the war, it was used to house prisoners of war who worked in the fields and factories. A CCC/POW Breakfast fundraiser will be held Saturday, Nov. 5 from 7:309:30 a.m. at the Youth Building in the fairgrounds to help raise money for flooring and a sidewalk. After the tour, the group went to the home of Lois Tidman and the meeting was opened by the president, Marcia Frerichs. A delicious dessert of cake along with nuts, mints and candy was served by Ilo Luse during the meeting. Roll call was a CCC or Military connection. Everyone has family that served our country it was discovered. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The treasurer’s report was given. Committee Reports Heritage – Melinda Schwarck is taking pictures for use in the scrapbook. Community – There will be a Donkey Ball tournament Saturday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m. in the Community
Center gym. Four teams from the area will be playing. Trick or Treat night will be October 31. Social Hour continues at the Community Center on Tuesdays 5-7 p.m. The first Sunday in November will be rehearsal for the community Christmas program for anyone interested in participating. Mary Weaver reminded us of the CCC/ POW fundraiser on Nov. 5. Owasa is having a soup and sandwich fundraiser on Oct. 29 from 4-7 p.m. Library – Lois Hollander reported about the hot dog supper on Oct. 31 at the Shelter House on Washington Square. She reviewed the activities of the library for the community. Old Business was a reminder to pay dues. Clarification was required for the secretary concerning who had paid dues but this was accomplished without too much pain. Discussion about giving to program providers resulted in a motion by Mary Weaver to give to Becky Rose, seconded by Ilo Luse, motion approved. Arlene Finger motioned to give to the CCC/POW which was seconded by Lois, motion approved. A change
was made to the program book for Kitty’s telephone number. Dues paid by one member. No new business Club Collect was read and the meeting was adjourned. Jane Kramer gave a program about Uncle Sam and how he originated in 1813 from a barrel of meat that had a picture of the owner, Sam Wilson. This meat was being shipped all over and came to be known as Sam’s meat and then Uncle Sam. The first cartoonist’s to use this image were Thomas Nast and James Flag. She also told us the CCC was a national program that aimed to help poverty in the east and helped the west to build. This changed the culture and created a lot of resettling. They built 3470 fire towers and planted 3 billion trees. They had pride in a job well done and working hard to earn a living. They did a lot for conservation and erosion prevention. She ended with a question for us to think about: ‘What are you being called to do to help in your little area?’

Understand Medicare Advantage as a yet another choice in 2017 AREA - Iowans on Medicare are in the middle of the annual Medicare open enrollment period (October 15December 7). One of the choices they have is enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan for 2017. Before making this choice it is important to understand how these plans work. The first key to understanding Medicare Advantage plans is to know what they are NOT. They are NOT Medicare supplement insurance. They ARE a way to get Medicare Part A and B benefits from private insurance companies, rather than directly from the federal government. While Medicare Advantage plans must provide almost all of the benefits offered by “Original” Medicare, there are important differences to understand before deciding which option is best for you. First, Medicare Advantage plans must follow rules set by Medicare, however they can charge different out-of-pocket costs. You cannot buy supplemental insurance to pay these out-of-pocket costs. Unlike Original
Medicare they have an annual outof-pocket maximum which limits your potential costs for a year. You will continue to pay your Part B premium along with any premium the Medicare Advantage plan may charge. Some plans offer additional benefits such as limited dental and vision coverage, annual physicals or health club memberships. Many include Medicare Part D drug coverage. Medicare Advantage plans use provider networks to manage your care. It is important to know if your medical providers are in a plan’s network to assure that you get the maximum benefit from your plan. If you go to a doctor, other health care provider, facility or supplier that doesn’t belong to the plan’s network, your services may not be covered, or your costs could be higher. Be sure to check that your providers are “innetwork” before enrolling in a plan. Providers can join or leave a plan’s network anytime during the year. Plans can also change the providers in their network anytime during the
year. Medicare Advantage plans are available to anyone who has Medicare Part A and Part B and does not have end stage renal disease. You cannot be turned down for coverage except for end-stage renal disease. You must live in the plan’s service area to enroll. Service areas are county based. Plans have a one year contract with Medicare. You can change plans or go back to Original Medicare each year during the annual open enrollment period. The plan you choose will be in effect for the next calendar year, with few exceptions.
Study your options carefully before making a choice. For more information about the Medicare Advantage plans available in Iowa call SHIIP at 1-800-3514664 (TTY 1-800-735-2942). The 2017 Medicare Advantage Plans in Iowa guide is now available online at www.therightcalliowa.gov or by calling SHIIP. Local SHIIP counselors are also available to explain the plans. Call the SHIIP 800# for the site nearest you. SHIIP services are free, confidential and objective.

Road trip for Cougar gridders Bowling Scores
by Scott Bierle Sports Editor ACKLEY- The 16-team EightPlayer playoff field will include the AGWSR football team. The Cougars qualified for the post-season with a runner-up placing in District 2 of 8-Player. AGWSR opens the playoffs with a journey to the eastern side of Iowa, meeting Central Elkader in Elkader tonight (Friday). The first-round contest starts at 7 p.m. Both teams stand 7-2 overall while the Cougars went 5-1 in district play and the Warriors 6-0 to be the District 3 champions.
Familiar foes for the two are Turkey Valley, Don Bosco and Dunkerton. Central Elkader, seventhranked, upset then No. 1 Don Bosco for the district title, 44-34; lost to Turkey Valley, 42-20 and dumped Dunkerton, 60-16. AGWSR lost to Don Bosco, 54-12; fell to Turkey Valley, 62-8 the following week with the district lead on the line and also whipped Dunkerton, 57-22. “Central Elkader is a good football team. Our key will be how we handle the adversity,” said AGWSR coach James Koop. “They are going to make plays and we have to respond. We are pre-
paring for a knock-down, drag-out fight,” he added. AGWSR is on a four-game winning steak since a mid-season hiccup and has outscored the past three opponents, 159-to-60. The Cougars will take the gridiron without a pair of key seniors Nathan Karsjens and Tate Hofmeister, according to Koop. Karsjens, the team’s quarterback, broke his hand in the first quarter of last Friday’s 68-26 blowout win over North Iowa, and Hofmeister suffered a concussion. The Warriors hold a slight offensive edge, gaining 3,715 rushing and passing yards and have scored 59 touchdowns, while the Cougars have generated 3,183 total yards with 50 TDs. Karsjens accounted for 26 of those six-pointers – 16 rushing and 10 passing. “Injuries are part of the game and one of those things we will have to deal with,” noted Koop. The AGWSR skipper noted senior quarterback Derek Ehrhardt will be the focus of the defense. “Their quarterback has to be contained. He is quick, slippery and throws a good football.” Ehrhardt has thrown for 1,516 yards and 26 touchdowns, while running for a team-best 954 yards and 17 TDs. The Cougars are ground-oriented with 2,663 rushing yards to just 520 passing. After Karsjens, the leading rusher is junior Liam Stubbe at 780 yards. Senior Tyler Rose headlines the defense with 71 tackles. “The seniors understand what it takes. They have been to the playoffs all four years and I’m counting on them,” said Koop. The AGWSR – Central Elkader winner advances to the quarterfinals Friday (Nov. 4) against the Turkey Valley – Don Bosco winner. Turkey Valley is top-ranked in the latest state rankings at 9-0 and 8-1 Don Bosco No. 4.

Janesville proves No. 1 rating in sweep of AGWSR netters by Scott Bierle Sports Editor JANESVILLE- That lofty No. 1 ranking was proven as Janesville swept the AGWSR volleyball team here Monday during a Class 1A, Region 5 quarterfinal match. The top-ranked Wildcats bombarded the Cougars with 46 kills and an impressive .363 kill efficiency to post a 25-18, 25-10, 25-15 post-season victory. Senior Gillian Gergen fueled the Wildcats’ attack with a match-high 18 kills on 19-of-22 hitting with a .682 kill efficiency. “I felt the girls came in with confidence and we had a good mindset,” said AGWSR co-head coach Betsy Harms. “We knew we had to be aggressive and we were in game one. When we struggled in games two and three we were not as aggressive. They have real good hitters and will take advantage when you give free balls,”
she added. The Cougars pounced early, scoring game’s one first two points, led 12-11 on an Alana Groninga service ace and again 13-12 on Mariah Jimmerson’s kill. The fun ended there as the Wildcats scored 11 of the next 12 points behind Gergen’s five kills to build a 23-14 cushion and eventually won the first set by seven. The second set was all Janesville as the hosts scored the first six points, led 10-2 and up 12-7, uncorked a 12-1 run to reach 24-8. AGWSR closed within five at the game’s midmark with a pair of blocks for Rachel Sicard and kills for Groninga and Mandy Willems. The Cougars had moments in game three, but the Wildcats had many more. Back-to-back kills by Jimmerson and Sicard pulled AGWSR within 6-5 before Janesville pulled away, building leads of 12-5, 19-9 and 23-12.
Bree Thompson drilled another 11 kills for the Wildcats with eight for Kennedy Meister. Alisa Bengen had 41 assists and 10 digs, and Lily Liekweg was 21-of-22 serving with two aces and 10 digs. For the Cougars, Jimmerson collected four kills with three for Groninga and Sicard. Groninga was 11of-11 serving with three aces and had eight digs, Jimmerson was 5-of5 with two service aces and Sicard had three blocks. Groninga and Maddie Brandt were two of seven seniors to take the court a final time and were three years starters. “Alana and Maddie have been staples of the team for three years and will be missed,” said Harms. The loss closed the net campaign at 9-17 for the Cougars. Janesville improved to 30-8 with a 17th straight match win, and played North Butler Thursday in a regional semi-final. The Wildcats are the defending 1A state champions and have been to the state show seven straight falls. The Janesville – North Butler winner meets the St. Edmond – Algona Garrigan winner Tuesday (Nov. 1) in the Region 5 final at Clarion.

The win improved the second-rated Wolverines to an impressive 44-5 and into the Region 4 finals Monday (Oct. 31) at Hampton against Clarion-Goldfield-Dows. The Cadets finished the fall 21-13. For D-NH, Haleigh Durnin buried 12 kills and Madison Lavenz 10, while Baylee Petersen had six service aces on 20-of-22 serving and had eight kills. Top totals for the Cadets were Grace Renaud four kills and Gabi Damiano three; Lauren Keane nine assists and 8-of-9 serving and 11 digs for Grace Juhl and Maddy Juhl. Clarion, 18-15, advanced to the regional final with a four-set victory over Garner-Hayfield-Ventura.

area runners ready to go at state cross country meet
ELDORA- A handful of area individuals will compete in the state cross country meet Saturday (Oct. 29). The featured five will include sophomore Jacob Vander Wilt of South Hardin, sophomore Aubrie Fisher of Iowa Falls-Alden/AGWSR and seniors Grant Baker and Ian Showers along with sophomore Caleb Silver of BCLUW. Fisher will take part in the Girls’ Class 3A race slated for 12 noon, Vander Wilt will take the starting line at 1:30 p.m. for the Class 2A Boys’ race, and at 2:30 p.m. Baker, Showers and Silver will all run in the Class 1A Boys’ race. The state XC meet will be ran on the Lakeside Golf Course inside Kennedy Park just north of Fort Dodge. The eight-race meet will begin at 11 a.m. with the 4A girls. Vander Wilt earned the state berth with a 10th placing at a 2A State Qualifier meet in Garner Thursday. The top 15 individuals and first three teams at meets from across the Iowa advance to the state show. “Jacob needs to be ready for a fast start. He just needs to get in the mix and race the entire course,” stated South Hardin coach Mike Olson. “We have a lot of familiar opponents in the field so he will be able to gauge how he is doing,” he added. Vander Wilt led the Tigers’ scoring column in all 10 meets this season, and had three top 10 placings with another five top 20s. “We are going try and use the same gameplan from the state qualifier with a strong start, maintain in the middle and push late,” added Olson.
Baker highlighted the BCLUW performance at the Cedar Falls 1A State Qualifier with a third place bronze medal. Showers then ended eighth and Silver 12th. Times for the trio were 17:21, 17:49 and 17:51, respectively. All three have lofty goals for the state show. “I want a top 10,” stated Baker. “I know it will take a lot, but I’m determined. I have been running better and better and ready to go.” Showers smiled and said, “I’m not going that far, I’m looking top 20.” The pair were state qualifiers a year ago with Showers taking 58th and Baker 66th in a field of 152-runners Showers learned the start is key, “Don’t wait. If you don’t get a good start you fall behind and are out of the race.” Silver also gave a number. “Top 35, but really I’m just going out, running the race and see what happens.” Older brother Cole Silver placed ninth in 1A at the state meet in 2013. Showers owns six top 10 placings this fall with four top 10s and another four top 20s for Baker, and six tops 20s and one top 10 for Silver Fisher earned her second state meet berth in two tries, scoring sixth in a highly-competitive Class 3A State Qualifier at Decorah. Fisher noted she learned a lot from her first time at state. “I learned that you need to get a good start so you don’t get stuck behind packs of girls. That the rankings don’t really mean anything due to the different courses all the athletes run on and because anyone can beat anyone on any given day. And ultimately, that I need to
control my emotions and stay confident because if I get worked up I won’t run well.” She added, “My goal is to improve my time from last year and to at least place in the top 30, although my dream is to medal.” Fisher placed 65th a year ago with a time of 20:45. Her state qualifier clocking was 19:40. Running mate Bethany Lippert, a senior, missed the top 15 qualifier cutline, taking 19th. Lippert had qualified her sophomore and junior seasons. Fisher collected seven top five placings this fall, was top 10 twice and top 20 once. She led the team’s scoring five times and was second to Lippert five times. Vander Wilt and the BCLUW trio are part of a large contingent from the North Iowa Cedar League Conference that advanced to state. In all, six teams qualified – both the Aplington-Parkersburg, Hudson and Denver girls and boys, along with 13 individuals.
