Local church collecting gift-filled shoeboxes for needy children PARKERSBURG — The Parkersburg Christian Reformed Church will serve as a collection site this year for the Samaritan’s Purse project Operation Christmas Child—the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind. During National Collection Week, Nov. 14 – 21, residents are invited to donate shoe boxes filled with school supplies, hygiene items, notes of encouragement and fun toys, such as a doll or soccer ball — for Operation Christmas Child to deliver to children in need around the world. This year, Parkersburg and other participating churches hope to contribute more than 18,225 shoebox gifts toward the 2016 global goal of reaching 12 million children. “The shoebox gifts donated by Parkersburg volunteers at these drop-off locations will shine a light of hope to children living in poverty overseas,” said Regional Director Nicole Sheldon. “Anyone is welcome to pack a shoebox and help a child facing difficult circumstances to feel loved and not forgotten.” Dropoff hours for shoeboxes are Monday, Nov. 14 through Friday, Nov. 18 from 2 to 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 20 from 3 to 6 p.m. and Monday, Nov. 21 from 8 to 11 a.m.

A-P music, drama departments to present ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review One of the most popular American musicals returns to the Aplington-Parkersburg High School stage this weekend as the Aplington-Parkersburg music and drama departments present “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” The musical is based on the story of Joseph and his “coat of many colors” from the Bible book of Genesis. It was developed in the late 1960s by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice and first performed on stage in the early 1970s. The musical has little spoken dialog, with most of the story told by the narrator. Aplington-Parkersburg’s production features 29 high school students as well as 19 elementary students who form a chorus. There is also a pit band that provides a live musical score. In addition to her stage director role, Truax plays the piano for the show. Stage Director Amy Truax said she and Musical Director Jeff Bieber chose this show to fit the talent they

had at the school. “When we were looking at the roles we had to fill and who we had to fill them, ‘Joseph’ seemed like the right choice,” she said. “The interesting thing about ‘Joseph’ is that the last time we did it was 2007 and it was the last musical that was done in the old high school, and we had a kids’ chorus then, so the kids that are juniors and seniors now were in the kids’ chorus as second- and third-graders. “To me this is very sentimental for that reason,” she said. Ivy Nolte’s voice is the one you’ll hear most often, as her narrator part tells the story. Few other spoken lines are featured in the production. “That’s one of the roles you look at is who do you have to do that narrator part,” Truax said. “She has a beautiful voice, a great stage presence and she interacts well with the little kids, so she’s going to be the one that’s telling the story and trying to tie it all together and make sense of what’s going on on stage.” Trevor Haren plays the title role of

Joseph, the 11th son of Jacob (Jason Sessler) who shows a talent for interpreting dreams and telling the future. “Joseph is a role that Trevor has been wanting to play, so it seemed to fit and work out,” Truax said. “And then when you look at all the boys that we have, there are a lot of strong boys. It just seemed to be the show that we needed to do. Trevor does a beautiful job with Joseph.” Of the high school cast, half are freshmen, though several of the older students have been involved in musicals in the past. “They’ve been good leaders and role models to get the freshmen to do what they need to do, and the freshmen are … probably my best group for being on time,” Truax said. “They’re good at following direction, they’re good at having ideas, and they participate. They’ll do whatever they need to do to make the show better.” Truax called the production a “group show” because of the interaction of the 12 brothers and the wives. “They have to act together as a cho-

She also, however, recognized her underdog role. “I have two five-time great grandfathers that fought the tyranny of an

unjust monarch (in the Revolutionary War) and their battle was similar to mine,” she said. “They were underfunded, undermanned and nobody thought they could win, but they did.” Weaver’s stop was part of a fourday tour that saw her visit 20 different communities.

rus and as an ensemble as opposed to having particular leads that pull the show off. It has to be everyone working together to pull the show off all the time.” Practice for the production has been going for nine weeks. The children’s chorus had been practicing on its own until last week, when it was blended into the main cast. Truax said she is happy with the way practice for the show is progressing. “We did a run through with the high school kids Wednesday so that they could kid an idea of the flow and so that they knew where they were, and if they keep their heads in the game … hopefully they can feel more comfortable and more confident and make everything bigger and just perform. You just want them to perform.” Show times are 7 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. All performances are at the high school auditorium.

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — The Parkersburg City Council Monday approved the purchase of a piece of equipment to sand the city’s streets in the winter. A bid of $6,895 from Don’s Truck Sales of Fairbank was accepted for a sander, vibrating device to distribute the sand and liner that will be used in a truck already in the city’s fleet. The company will also pay the city for a sander that it is trading in. Council also discussed the pros and cons of purchasing a used payloader-mounted snow blower. The 15-yearold machine was placed up for bid by Waverly, which is purchasing a new machine. Local officials have not yet had a chance to look at the equipment and City Manager Chris Luhring said the city may or may not bid on it. “My personal opinion is that it’s not going to work,” he said. Public works representative Rod Luhring, who did not give an opinion on whether or not to purchase the blower, said it could be used to get through a few areas that are difficult to plow out after large snow storms or series of storms. Those areas are currently cleaned out with the city’s payloader, and R. Luhring said the new machine could save the department time in the case of extreme storms. No decision was made about whether to pursue purchase of the equipment. Mayor Perry Bernard said the city may be to the point where it could need an ordinance banning burning within the city, admitting that the opinion could be controversial. The comment comes as the city has sent several letters to citizens regarding grass and leaves that have been blown into streets. Current options for disposal are disposal in leaf bags that would be picked up when a leaf sticker is affixed to them, or burning.

Daily newspaper veteran to serve as Eclipse, Register sports editor By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review A veteran of daily newspapers has been named regional sports editor at The Grundy Register and Parkersburg Eclipse News-Review. Jake Ryder brings a sports writing background into a new era of sports coverage. “When it comes to sports writing, I approach it from the viewpoint of an outsider — I didn’t play any organized sports growing up outside of a pick-up basketball game or two-hand touch football on Sunday afternoons,” he said. “That gives me the perspective of someone who wants to know more about the emotions of a game than the Xs and Os.” Clint Poock, who serves as regional publisher for both papers, welcomed Ryder. “I’m excited Jake has joined our Parkersburg Eclipse and Grundy Register staff,” he said. “Jake brings experience to the position and a wealth of enthusiasm for sports including social sports features. I feel we’ve found the right person for this role. Our readers are going to really have something to look forward to with Jake’s sports coverage. He said it was only by chance that he discovered sports writing. “I embraced writing in all forms growing up but never really latched on to journalism until I shadowed a close friend of mine on a softball assignment for the Muscatine Journal and realized that this could not only be something

that I could do well, but it could be something I could enjoy,” he said. Ryder is a Galesburg, Ill. native who graduated from Bettendorf High School. He worked in retail sales until landing a part-time job at The Muscatine Journal in 2010. He attended the University of Iowa while working at The Journal, earning his bachelor’s degree in 2014. Upon earning his bachelor’s degree, Jake was promoted to a full-time role at the paper. “I would definitely characterize myself as a city mouse, so to speak, but one with aspirations of leading a simpler life away from the large-city hustle and bustle that has defined most of my life,” Ryder said. Ryder is recently married to his longtime girlfriend Cali, who will soon be joining him in the area. “We’re both very excited to be in Parkersburg, and for me in the sports department, I’m eager to keep doing what I did in six years at the Muscatine Journal — tell the stories of great athletes and coaches, and relate the lessons we learn from sports to life, whether they be the good moments or the bad,” he said. “I’m excited to shake a lot of hands in the coming weeks and months, to get to know this community and to serve it well as its storyteller,” he said. “I speak for myself, but I think generally a goal of any writer is to give the reader something they’ll cherish forever, and I will always strive to accomplish that for all of you.”

Holland man pleads guilty to felony lascivious acts charge in Butler County ALLISON — Alexander Russell Cutshall, 23, of Holland, pleaded guilty to lascivious acts with a child solicitation, a D felony on count one, and assault with intent to commit sexual abuse, an aggravated misdemeanor on count two, in Butler County District Court in Allison. Sentencing was filed Sept. 19. On count one, Cutshall received a fiveyear suspended prison sentence, consecutively with count two’s 60 days in jail on a 125-day sentence, and was placed on probation lasting five years. He was ordered to pay a combined fine of $1,375 ($750, count one; $625, count two) and a no-contact order with two protected parties was put in place effective for five years from the date of judgment. Butler County Sheriff’s Office alleged in complaints filed on Feb. 9, 2016, that Cutshall committed sexual abuse in the second degree, count one, and in the third degree, count two, and listed incident dates as Dec. 21, 2012, and Dec. 31, 2013. Cutshall and his attorney were able to have results of his interview with a sheriff’s deputy and Department of Human Services case worker suppressed in the record because he checked a box on a written statement before questioning, saying he did not waive his Miranda/Fifth Amendment rights, states the motion to supress which was granted April 29 An interviewing deputy asked if Cutshall would be willing to answer some questions initially, saying he could stop at any time. Cutshall proceeded to make statements in questioning. The court later granted the defense its request for motion to suppress the Feb. 9 interview with Cutshall from consideration at trial, based on legal precedent that favors the accused over the government. Thus, statements made early on by defendant Cutshall were not to be taken into account when the court decided the case. The abuse was said to have occurred in rural Allison. One victim told investigators the sexual abuse occurred three to four years ago, against her will, the April 29 filing stated. The other victim told investigators the abuse occurred span-

ning the time she was in third to ninth grade, against her will, according to court documents. According to complaints Butler County Sheriff’s Office filed on Feb. 9, one victim was under 12 (which if found would have constituted second-degree sex abuse, a B felony), and the other was 12 or 13 at the time of the acts (which if found would have constituted third-degree sex abuse, a C felony). A redacted transcript of sentencing proceedings was filed Nov. 2 in Butler County District Court. Even the redacted version, however, was highly classified and could not be released until an undetermined time, the deputy clerk of court said.

Cheap Seats TEN YEARS AGO November 8, 2006 Work on the new Parkersburg Emergency Services Building is on schedule. Last week the concrete walls were poured. Scheduled for this week is the grading of the floor and roughing in the plumbing. The concrete floor is scheduled to be poured the last week of November. The first-ever Parkersburg Rotary Club haunted house raised $1,100 for the Parkersburg Historical Society. The event was held at Wolf’s Mansion on Friday and Saturday and 270 people went through the house filled with excitement. ATTENTION VETERANS - Come to the breakfast in your honor on Friday, Nov. 10 a 7:30 p.m. at the A-P High School Library. The A-P National Honor Society says thank you for all you have done.

TWENTY YEARS AGO November 6, 1996 The Parkersburg Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting at Parkersburg’s newest business, “The Pizza Ranch” last Monday afternoon. The business will be managed by Brad Hackman. “The Pizza Ranch” is owned by Scott and Wendy Davis of Cedar Falls. The Aplington-Parkersburg Falcons defeated a tough Garner-Hayfield team Friday night 32-14. With the win the Falcons secured the District 2 championship and ended with a perfect 9-0 regular-season record. A-P will host Osage in the first round of the playoffs tonight. Alisa Hayes of Aplington-Parkersburg High School has attained the highest individual honor available to Iowa high school musicians by being selected as a member of the 1996 All-State Chorus. Alisa is the daughter of Bruce and Debra Hayes. The 1996 Festival will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the prestigious event. Heather Fink of Parkersburg was crowned Homecoming Queen at Wartburg College. She is the daughter of Verlyn and Betty Fink and a senior public relations and religion major.

THIRTY YEARS AGO

November 5, 1986 The Aplington Panthers led by an awesome ground attack and stingy defense defeated SEMCO of Gillman Monday evening 35-12 in the second round of action in the Class A state football playoffs to the semifinals this Saturday. The Panthers also defeated New Hartford in the playoffs last Wednesday. Representatives of the Aplington Education Association presented its initial proposals for the 1987-88 master contract to the Aplington School Board at a special meeting held Oct. 27, in the school office-board room. The teachers association proposed a $2,000 increase in base pay which would bring the starting salary for a teacher with a bachelor’s degree and no experience from $14,450 to $16,450. This proposal reflects a 15.2 percent increase for the district’s 26.9 full-time equivalent teachers. The Parkersburg Community School will be presenting “Annie Get Your Gun” November 5th and 7th at 7:30 p.m. at the gym. Admission in advance is $2 for adults and $1 for students. At the door admission is $2.50 for adults and $1.50 for students. As part of a “Youth Involvement Promotion,” the Parkersburg Rotary Club sponsored an essay contest in September with the theme “What I Like About Parkersburg: What Can Be Done to Improve It.” Jay Jordan placed second and David Anderson won the seventh- to nin th-grade division and Bill Lipkea was second and Sara Neymeyer first in the 10th- through 12thgrade division.

FORTY YEARS AGO November 10, 1976 Plan to attend an enlightening performance Wednesday, Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. in the high school gym. Mrs. Hubbard, the high school choir director and the choir, and Mr. Lingkade and the stage band will be presenting the annual variety show. Vern Ingalls of Ingalls Insurance, Inc. was recently inducted into the insurance “Fire Mark Society” as announced by the National Association of Mutual Insurance Agents in Washington, D.C. Ingalls received this honor while in attendance of the National Insurance Convention last month in Atlanta, Ga. Ripley Township residents will be electing a new representative from their township to the Butler County Extension Council on Monday, Nov. 15. Jim Oltman, the current representative, is currently completing his second term and a new representative must be selected to fill the vacancy Jan. 1. The Library Board of Trustees has set evening hours for the Kothe Memorial Library starting Nov. 11. On Thursday evenings the library will be open from 7 to 9 p.m.

FIFTY YEARS AGO November 9, 1966 Early returns Tuesday evening as the Eclipse went to press indicate that the Republicans are gaining nationally. Undoubtedly the Democrats will continue to have a majority in both houses. Republicans have made gains in such states as Illinois where former Governor Percy was predicted to defeat long-time senator Douglas on the basis of the early returns from Illinois. Butler County again voted Republican as it gave votes to Senator Jack Miller, Representative H.R. Gross and on a more local level Harold Voss over Ben DeBerg in a race for County Supervisor. With at least two farms planted in 20-inch corn rows this year, there has been considerable interest in how these acres would produce. Monday the crew was busy picking the Alexander fields south of Highway 20 and two miles east of Aplington. A measured 35 acre field produced 167 bushels of corn per acre. Interested in having your car washed? John Simon Jr. has announced a special day THursday. You may wash your car free Thursday. An attendant will give you advice on how to use the new service.

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News Review It’s over! After more than a year of listening to candidate after candidate tell us why they are better than their opponent … about why members of the other party are as evil as evil cane be … election season has finally drawn to a close. By the time most of you read this, we’ll probably know that our new president will be either the first woman to hold our nation’s highest office or the first non-politician to hold the office in modern times. It’s been a long, bitter season that has turned friends into enemies and made our nation as fractured as it’s been since the Vietnam War era. As I pondered last week over the year and one-half since candidates began traipsing across Iowa stumping for votes, I began thinking about what we have learned over that time. This has certainly been an interesting election season, and I really feel like there are going to be a plethora of upsets as results come in Tuesday that will shape the future of our nation. Here are a few things that I feel like I’ve learned since the beginning of campaign season. • Nobody has all the answers. This is obviously nothing new - nobody has ever had the right answer to every problem. Yet it seems that is more of the case today than ever before. As I watched the debates between Mr. Trump and Secretary Clinton I heard a lot of ideas from both sides that seemed great in theory but that for one reason or another would never work. Some of the reasons are political (that legislators in neither party would routinely support), some practical and some even financial. • People are as unhappy with our government as they have ever been before. This is why Trump gained so much momentum why his campaign was so successful. As I file this story Monday, election results are still about 36 hours away and most polls are pointing to a Clinton victory. Yet my gut feeling tells me otherwise. • More voters than ever feel they are picking the lesser of two evils. A June study by the widely-respected and nonpartisan Pew Research Center showed that just 43 percent of registered Democrats and 40 percent of registered Republicans were either very or fairly satisfied with their choices for president. The last time the numbers were that low was 1992, when Bill Clinton ran against the vice-president George H.W. Bush. • There is interest in this year’s election. That same Pew Research Center study showed that 80 percent of people had thought about the election, the highest number in the seven-election history of the study. By contrast, the next-highest interest level came eight years ago in a cycle that elected President Obama as our first African American president. • Voters care most about what hits closest to home. More information from the Pew Poll shows that 84 percent of registered voters say the economy is very important to their vote this year, topping such hot button issues as health care (74 percent very important), immigration (70 percent), Supreme Court appointments (65 percent) and treatment of gay, lesbian and transgender people (40 percent). • Iowa Republicans missed the boat … again. For the third election season in a row, the candidate favored by Iowa Republicans did not receive the party’s nomination. It’s no secret that Iowa Republicans have become increasingly conservative over the years, and candidates have noticed. Hence the reason that candidates like Ted Cruze this year, Rick Santorum (2012) and Mike Huckabee (2008) have fared well here before eventually falling out of the race before the national convention. A few moderate candidates (such as John Kasich) have in essence skipped the Iowa Caucus for this reason, and for the Iowa Republican Caucuses to remain relevant, the party must come at least a little closer to the center. • Our country is getting more and more liberal. As American becomes more of a melting pot than it has ever been before and as rural areas continue to lose population, it seems to be getting more and more difficult for Republicans to compete on a national stage. As of Monday, according to the realclearpolitics.com, it appeared that Donald Trump was poised to win as many as 29 states (figuring toss-up states the way they are leaning), with Clinton winning the others plus the District of Columbia. Why, then, is Clinton projected to win, possibly convincingly? Because she is likely to take six of the nine states that have 15 electoral votes or more. In other words her popularity is where the people are. • The top of the Republican Party is the most fractured it has ever been. When leader after leader disavows their support for the Party’s presidential candidate, that’s about as bad a sign for the party as there could be. Will they come back if Mr. Trump is elected? What if he isn’t … will everyone decide to play nice with each other after the election is over? I’ve followed elections closely ever since I was old enough to stay up and watch the returns come in ... dating back to 1980. This one tops them all, though. It’s just been really interesting.

It’s Coming ... I attended a meeting on the new Veterinary Feed Directive, set to take effect January 1, 2017, last week in Independence. (Yes, I did come back!) These meetings are being held across the state and sponsored by Iowa State University Extension & Outreach, Iowa Farm Bureau and the Veterinary Medical Association of Iowa. The goal of this directive is to ensure that antibiotics medically important to humans are not used to promote growth in livestock. The labels for the antibiotics will have to be changed also to eliminate the reference to growth hormone. What is a Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD)? It is a written statement issued only by a licensed vet authorizing the use of a VFD drug in or on animal feed and can be used to treat a client’s animals. There are several things for farmers, vets and feed manufacturers to do. The Four Key Points are: 1) Sign a Veterinary Client-Patient Relationship (VCPR) form with your vet 2) Obtain a prescription before feeding antibiotics 3) Administer VFD antibiotics only to those animals covered by prescription 4) Keep records of antibiotic use for two years This VFD only affects those antibiotics used in feed and water. At this time it does not apply to any injectable antibiotic. One item strongly stressed was record keeping. Farmers must document everything! Things to document include: date, number of animals and how fed. Since many bagged feeds and milk replacer have antibiotics they too will need the VFD. It’s important for farmers to be talking to their vets now and build up that necessary relationship that will be needed in the future. Mark your calendar: Veterinary Feed Directive Meeting Tuesday, November 22, 4 – 6 p.m. Butler County Extension Office Please call me 319/267-2707 or email me nejensen@iastate.edu to let me know if you are interested. Don’t wait because this law is coming; the implementation date is set and we will have to comply!

2016 Football Contest continues The annual Parkersburg Eclipse News-Review/Clarksville Star/Butler County Tribune-Journal football contest continues with a slate of high school, college and NFL games. The contest will run for 11 consecutive weeks during the football season. Last week, Oct. 26-27, the contest moved to college games. There were no perfect entries and also none that missed only one, with Dumont’s Bob Hicken the only entry to miss two. He wins 35 football bucks. Six players missed three games, with the winner based on the tiebreaker differential. Clarksville’s Tom Clark missed the tiebreaker by just one point, so he wins the 15 football bucks. This week, Nov. 2-3, featured college games for the second straight week. This week’s winner, Steve Petroelje of Byron Center, Mich., missed just one of the 12 games. He wins 35 football bucks. Allison’s Deb Blockus was one of two entries that missed two games and had a better tiebreaker score. She wins 15 football bucks. Football Bucks can be spent just like

of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization.”

Weaver from page 1 “I wouldn’t be able to do this without your help because there’s only one of me and 39 counties out of 99,” she said. “I started campaigning 14 months ago and haven’t quit. I am still working full time, I am on vacation through next week because I figure after the election I’m probably going to want to sleep for a couple of days because the next Monday I’m going to have to go to Washington D.C. for new-member (orientation).” The Des Moines native and Sheldon resident talked about her proposal to expand Medicare to cover nursing home and assisted living costs and how she has seen how the costs affect families while serving as a long-term care ombudsman. “In the last two years I’ve had four residents I worked with that had to sell the family farms, and two of them were family farms. I believe that no one should be forced into poverty to

get the care they need,” she said. She also talked about expanding the Americorps Vista volunteer program and how student debt is crippling students as they graduate from college. Weaver said she has talked to people from both political parties as well as independents and all feel the need to expand Social Security and “love the idea of of generating investment through volunteer engagement.” Weaver touched briefly on her race against incumbent Steve King, calling him out of touch. “He’s rated the least effective member of Congress,” she said. “He’s cashed $2.5 million in paychecks and not passed a single bill, not even one, out of subcommittee. What most people don’t realize is that we should be thankful that he’s ineffective because had he actually been effective, Iowans would have hurt.”

Sixth-grade band Students of the Month It’s October already, where the leaves have turned picturesque and the air is cool and crisp. Not only is this Mr. Winkey’s favorite time of year, but also his favorite time of the month – to acknowledge more outstanding sixth-grade band students! These sixth-graders are starting to really devlop fine musicianship qualities and have started proving themselves as serious, hard working students! For October, we feature three students, all from the woodwind section! Flutists Kaylee Johnson and Madison Derifield-Williams; along with clarinetist Jenna Krueger! Kaylee and Madison both have a beautiful, open tone al-

ready and are working extremely hard at home in preparation for lessons. They are logging minutes like nobody’s business! Jenna is new to our school this year and also new to band! She started clarinet at the beginning of the year and is doing a great job trying to catch up! She is going above and beyond by taking two lessons a cycle (instead of one) and is finding success early on! All three of these students have demonstrated excellence so far in sixth-grade and we are looking forward to a great rest of the year with them leading by example in their section! Congratulations Kaylee, Madison, and Jenna.

Enjoy the glitz & glitter of the Holidays at

Butler County Completes Bible Reading Marathon It took just nine hours on two Saturday mornings, Oct. 15 and 22, to read the Bible out loud from cover to cover on the Butler County Courthouse grounds in Allison. More than 50 people participated, many coming both days. The event was organized by Janna Voss in response to Gov. Terry Branstad’s proclamation that the entire Bible be read outside all 99 courthouses in Iowa. Many of the readers requested that this become an annual event. There are still a few counties left in Iowa that need to complete this task before a statewide celebration will be scheduled in Des Moines. (Courtesy photo)

From the Falcons’ Desk Writing Process By AUNA MUDDERMAN In Mrs. Furland’s English class, the students are working on argumentative papers where a topic is chosen and students are tasked with backing their claim with supporting evidence. Now that the essays are drafted, each day a different student’s essay is chosen for large group peer feedback. The class comes together and discusses the paper, giving them feedback as to how they can make their paper better.

A-P Fall Preview Thanks to TLC funding, Mrs. Sullivan, a retired English teacher is able to come help students by giving her feedback and advice as to how to make the argumentative essays better and stronger. The purpose of this group discussion is to help each student to not only become a better writer, but to also encourage them to become critical thinkers. There is no right or wrong answer, this discussion is to simply help students improve.

Landry My name is Landry. I have one little sister. I have two dogs at my dad’s house. Some of my favorites are: blue, the Cowboys, grilled cheese and tomato soup, and the super hero Flash. When I am at home I like to play farm with my dad. When I am at school I like to go to PE. One thing I have learned in school is how to write sentences. Something that I am thankful for is that I get to have special days with my mom and dad. When I grow up I want to be a football player and play for the Cowboys.

McKenna McKenna loves coming to school so much that she wants to become a teacher when she grows up. Her favorite subject in school is reading and she thinks there should be more play time at school. McKenna loves cats, volleyball, broccoli and the color purple. One thing I bet you didn’t know is that McKenna can read all by herself now!

By CHYNE NEYMEYER On Monday October 17th, 50 choir students took the stage at Aplington-Parkersburg High School for their Fall preview concert. The concert was held at 7:30pm in the Aplington-Parkersburg High School Auditorium. Choir director, Jeff Beiber states that this concert’s goal is “to give our choir something to focus our sights on and something to work toward. The more we perform the better we get at performing!” The Women’s Choir sang “Grace” by David Brunner, the Men’s Choir sang “Gloria” by Antonio Vivaldi/arr. John Leavitt, and the mixed choir sang “Da Pacem Domine” by Melchior Franck/arr.J.Leavitt, “Praise the Lord” by G.F. Handel/arr. Hal Hopson, “Great Day!” by Rollo Dilworth, and “Battle Hymn of the Republic” arranged by Peter Wilhousky. They also previewed a song from this year’s high school musical production Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which will premiere November 11-13th.

Middle School STEM By ERICA DANIEL A-P middle school students can participate in STEM at their school. Additionally, Brenda Schipper at the middle school is teaching Project Lead The Way (PLTW), which is a gateway curriculum. All seventh and eighth grade students can take part and it is also part of Mrs. Schipper’s class. The entire middle school staff has been trained on STEM implementation across all content areas. Training included a speaker from the Area Education Agency to give them cross-curricular ideas for implementation. In science classes, the new science standards include math and engineering skill development, which reinforces what they are doing. The math department is using a Big Ideas digital textbook that allows more investigations and exploring on topics before instruction. A-P middle school offers a Technology class to further develop not only basic technology skills, but also incorporate technology into project-based learning. The STEM club has many more activities planned for the year.

Middle School Clean Up By MADISON OLDENBURGER On October 14, the middle school students volunteered at Heery Woods in Clarksville, Iowa to clean up after the flooding. The 6th graders went in the morning to help and the 7th and 8th grade went in the afternoon to clean up. Their tasks were to pick up sticks and branches that fell and to reposition

picnic tables that were moved by water into the bushes and in the trees. Additionally, sand from the playground had been moved by all the water, so students worked on moving the sand back into the playground. Thank you to all the middle school students for their hard work.

An Uplifting Moment Rev. Dave Claassen

Reasons for Having Faith ... The Source of Good Part Four of a Seven-Part Series â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfair!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unjust!â&#x20AC;? We often make pronouncements about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right or wrong. When we make such statements we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just giving our opinion or expressing our personal preferences. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re appealing to some higher standard. By what authority do we declare something to be right or wrong? How can one hold to any kind of absolute standard of right or wrong unless thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s someone who gives that standard? If there are rules by which we should live, there must be a rule maker. There can be only one logical source for Moral Law, an ultimate reference point for what is right and what is wrong, and that is God. If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to hold to an ultimate ethic, belief in a holy, perfect, and good God is our only logical option. C. S. Lewis wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Being behind the universe is intensely interested in right conduct.â&#x20AC;? (Mere Christianity, p. 37) Those who believe in God believe that God does not measure up to some standard of goodness, because then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be right back to where that standard of goodness came from. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be lacking any ultimate basis for good. No, God does not measure up to some ultimate standard of goodness; He is the ultimate standard of goodness! Granted, most people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in God are moral people, but their moral feet are planted firmly on thin air! They can give no good reason for being good! Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s argued that a right or wrong has been established to help guarantee the survival of human kind, but who is to say this is an ultimate value? If there is no God and no afterlife, why should we yield to societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rules to be good, sometimes at a personal cost and sacrifice, when a billion years from now the human race will no longer exist and there will be no memory or record of our ever existing? Why would we want to curtail our own desires when we have only a few years to exist? Who can tell us itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong to grab all the gusto we can while weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here? If we humans are the result of a natural evolutionary process without the benefit of a creator God, then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason for the existence of our deep and profound sense of morality. Where does it come from? The most logical explanation for the source of our sense of goodness is that we have been created by a creator, and our Creator is good! The psalmist David declared that the generations â&#x20AC;&#x153;celebrate your abundant goodnessâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? (Psalm 145:7)

BY SHANNON RIES

Here is a little trivia question for you - can you name the one book in the Bible where God is not mentioned? Throughout the entire book there is no mention of His name. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right - itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Esther. Although He is not mentioned by name, His presence is all through the 10 chapters of the book. I mention this book because today, we as a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group are going to be taking her example which she sets for us and using it as an incentive to take our own stand for God. See, briefly, to wrap the book up, Esther was Jewish and had been hand picked by King Xerxes to be his queen. Haman, not knowing her ethnicity, brought a charge against all Jews that they should all be killed, exterminated, like Hitler tried to do. He had been given high rank in the kingdom, and everyone would bow to him accept Mordecai, Estherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncle. This infuriated him! In chapter 4:14, Esther is given a challenge by Mordecai to appear before the king without being summoned (which could mean death for her) and plead for the Jews. She is challenged to take her stand for God and her people. In the end, in a very clever way, she exposes Haman and saves herself and her people. Read the book in the Old Testament for yourself and see this riveting account in history. I am going to be using this to put out the challenge that it is our turn now!!! It is our time to take a stand for God! There is a reason that God has placed us where we are and at what point in time we are. It is time for us to take a stand as well for Him and His kingdom and to shine brightly for Him. I am challenging myself as well. Will we respond? That question is totally a personal one for each of us. No one can answer this but ourselves. At the end of Joshua in the Bible, a great staement is made by him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Choose you this day whom you will serve, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.â&#x20AC;?

GRUNDY CENTER – The Grundy County Memorial Hospital (GCMH) Emergency Department has been among the best in the nation for patient experience, based on patient surveys compiled by national health care consulting firm Press Ganey. The hospital received the 2016 Guardian of Excellence Award for ranking in the top 5 percent of more than 1,800 emergency departments nationwide. This marks the eighth year in a row that the hospital has been recognized for consistently high levels of excellence. GCMH CEO Jennifer Havens says the hospital staff is dedicated to sustaining excellent patient care, which is reflected in the eight consecutive awards. “The latest recognition demonstrates that our caregivers prioritize how

patients, families, and visitors are treated when they visit us for emergency care,” she said. “As health care providers, we have the unique opportunity to make a difference each and every day and I believe this award reflects our dedication to this mission.” Emergency Department manager Sara Hook RN says that Emergency Department staff members are

humbled that the department has been recognized for eight years in a row. “The compassion that our nurses, registration staff, and emergency providers demonstrate is remarkable,” she said. “The fact that we sustain a high level of patient satisfaction year after year shows that our patients can sense the extra special care and concern.” GCMH is a 25-bed critical access hospital located in Grundy Center, serving Grundy County and portions of Butler, Hardin, and Tama counties. The hospital is affiliated with UnityPoint Health - Waterloo. Press Ganey is a nationwide provider of patient experience measurement and strategic advisory solutions for health care organizations, currently serving more than 22,000 health care facilities. “We are proud to partner with Grundy County Memorial Hospital,” said Patrick Ryan, CEO of Press Ganey. “This award is a testament to their leadership in delivering patient-centered care. By achieving and sustaining this level of excellence, Grundy County Memorial Hospital demonstrates a commitment to advancing the overall quality of health care.”

(John Jensen/Eclipse News-Review photo)

Back to the Dome â&#x20AC;Ś D-NH dominates PCM, earns second straight semifinal berth By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review MONROE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dike-New Hartford High School football coach Don Betts rarely shows a lot of emotion as he speaks to his team after a game. Yet even he could not contain his excitement Friday night after the Wolverines dominated Prairie City-Monroe to earn their second straight state football semifinal berth and fourth in the last seven years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going next,â&#x20AC;? he said to his team with a grin that seemed to stretch all the way back to northeast Iowa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to the dome!â&#x20AC;? The Wolverines (9-2) scored 47 unanswered points after falling behind early on their way to a 54-14 victory over a sixth-ranked PCM team that had allowed just 4.5 points per game in its previous nine outings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our kids were dialed in from the get-go,â&#x20AC;? Betts said during a postgame interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our seniors said they wanted to get to the dome again this year after being there last year. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure there were a whole lot of people who believed they could do it, but they believed they could.â&#x20AC;? Betts said his team took a step back after dropping its two non-district games (to teams that will also be in the semifinals this weekend) and knew that it could improve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We stuck to the plan and the kids just bought in and we got better and better and here we are.â&#x20AC;? The win sends eighth-ranked D-NH to a semifinal matchup with second-ranked Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley on Saturday which outscored Kuemper Catholic 49-28 Friday. The semifinal berth is D-NHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second straight and fourth in the past seven years. The Wolverines have reached the state finals four times but have never won a state football championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice (to return to the dome) because a lot of people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in us this year,â&#x20AC;? Senior Nick Durnin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to prove the doubters wrong.â&#x20AC;? Senior tailback Trent Johnson had his second straight huge game of the playoffs, gaining 301 yards on 33 carries while scoring four touchdowns. The yardage gave the senior a school-record 2,729 yards on the season, breaking a record he set a year ago. With 271 yards in the Wolverines remaining game or games, Johnson would become just the fifth runner in state history to rush for 3,000 yards in a season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our line, we all played really well tonight,â&#x20AC;? senior Ben Latusek said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trent did his work, best running back in the state, we did our work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(He) makes it so easy to block,â&#x20AC;? Latusek said of playing with Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know that you only have to create that small hole and Trentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out the gate. You know that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to run as hard as he can, so that gives you something to play as hard as you can. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fun.â&#x20AC;? As well as Johnson played, however, the Wolverine defense was the story of the night. D-NH held a potent PCM offense to 196 yards, a total that was 258 yards below its season average. The Mustangs also averaged just 2.9 yards per snap against the Wolverines after averaging 9.5 yards per play entering the contest.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We told our secondary, you guys have to stop the passing game and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to commit six guys to the run and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it and everybody had a job to do,â&#x20AC;? Betts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve preached all year, you just do your job and good things will happen. People did their jobs.â&#x20AC;? Despite the superlatives, thing looked fairly bleak for the Wolverines very early in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. PCM returned the opening kickoff to near midfield and needed just 91 seconds to strike with a drive that lasted just four plays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pulled the defense over and told them, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We gave them a short field, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of game left, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to answer now,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Betts said. And answer the Wolverines did, needing just 52 seconds to respond. After starting their initial drive of the game at their own five after a miscue on the kickoff return, Johnson showed the flash that has made him one of the elite rushers in Iowa high school football history when he took a step right and then cut hard left on a counter play. He broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage and then raced a career-best 93 yards for the touchdown. The extra point, however, sailed wide right and the Wolverines still trailed 7-6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The line gave me a hole and all I had to do was â&#x20AC;Ś run,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially after that first drive, everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh crap,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and that (run) really got us back on track,â&#x20AC;? he said. We got our heads back in the game. I think we were just nervous at first.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge,â&#x20AC;? Betts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That gets the momentum back going our way

and all of the sudden our guys are ready to play.â&#x20AC;? The deficit didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long. Wolverine senior Clayton Mapel made a leaping interception of a Sheldon Speers pass at the PCM 26 and DNH took the lead one play later as sophomore quarterback Cade Fuller found senior Nick Durnin open in the flat and Durnin did the rest, rumbling 31 yards for the goahead touchdown. The Wolverines were penalized 15 yards on the extra point for excessive celebration, though senior kicker Jackson Lage still drilled the extra point kick for the 13-7 lead. From there it was all Wolverines. Johnson capped a 65-yard drive that bled more than nine and one-half minutes off the clock with a two-yard run at the 6:44 mark of the second quarter and then scored again on a 44-yard run less than two minutes later. All told, Dike-New Hartford scored on four of its five first-half drives and its first three possessions of the second half while building a 47-7 lead two minutes into the fourth quarter.

Sports Dike-New Hartford volleyball takes nothing for granted at state tourney By JAKE RYDER Eclipse News-Review DIKE – Even for a program as accomplished as Dike-New Hartford’s volleyball team, nothing is a given for the Wolverines. Diane Harms’ squad advanced to the school’s 27th state volleyball tournament appearance in the school’s history last Monday with a sweep over Clarion-Goldfield, but the Class 3A No. 2 Wolverines won’t take anything for granted. “We have to keep our intensity up, communicate a lot and get excited over every point,” Dike’s Haleigh Durnin said. “We need to push hard, fight hard to get to our goal again of getting back to the state championship.” In a sense, that is what has pushed Dike-New Hartford even farther. The Wolverines fell short in an epic fiveset thriller with Sumner-Fredericksburg in a Class 2A state semifinal at the U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids last season, which ended a streak of four consecutive state titles for Dike-New Hartford. With the Wolverines bumped up to 3A this season, Dike-New Hartford won’t get a chance for revenge, but it’s something that’s driven them back to Wednesday’s state quarterfinal with North Polk. “We can get beat by any team at any time,” Wolverines’ hitter Baylee Petersen said. “So we just have to work hard and overcome everything.”

Petersen, with an average of 3.48 kills per set, leads D-NH in that offensive category as well as ace serves (71) and is second on the team in digs with 342, an average of 2.9 per set. The talk heading into Wednesday’s state opener has centered around communication, whether it be setter Madison Hedges finding her hitters at the net that have a kill efficiency of 27.8 percent, libero Sydney Petersen directing traffic defensively while digging up 4.65 opposing hits per set or keeping opponents out of rotation with aggressive serving. It all boils down to how the girls click together from the practice court to the first serve of every match. “The big thing is that the girls play well together,” Harms, Dike-New Hartford’s volleyball head coach, said. “They enjoy being together on and off the court and work well together. … They play every point hard.” In her first season as varsity setter, Hedges has filled the shoes of her older sister Taylor, now a freshman on the University of Northern Iowa’s volleyball team, quite well. While Hedges only has the fourth-highest assists per set average of state-qualifying individuals in 3A, she’s also been a valuable asset defensively with 177 digs and 26 total blocks. “She’s grown throughout the season and has done a nice job of being our setter,” Harms said. “She makes good decisions on the court for us.”

Morgan Marx, Haleigh Durnin, Madison Lavenz and Emily Purdy celebrate Dike-New Hartford’s regional final victory over Clarion-Goldfield-Dows. The Wolverines won in straight sets, 25-6, 25-7, 25-12. (John Jensen/Eclipse News-Review photo) Madison added her hopes for her performance at the state tournament, “I want to just be smart at knowing where to put the ball and who to set to in big-game decisions.” Harms hopes her team will be aggressive right out of the gate against North Polk, a team led by senior hitter Hannah Becker, who averages 4.76 kills per set. “We have to be ready to go defensively,” Harms added. “When we’re aggressive and not getting tentative, good things happen for our team. We have to focus on the tempo we want to

play.” From there, it’s all about momentum for the Wolverines as they look for a 12th state championship in the combined history of the Dike and DikeNew Hartford programs. “I feel like if we get the momentum going our way first, stay intense and get excited over the little points, we’ll do a good job,” Durnin said. “Once momentum is going our way, we maintain it pretty well.”

Wolverines sweep Cowgirls to advance to state By JAKE RYDER Eclipse News-Review HAMPTON – The Dike-New Hartford volleyball team put its latest stamp on a what has become another decade of excellence on Monday night. Clarion-Goldfield battled the Class 3A No. 2 Wolverines early but were overcome by sharp serving and a stout block at the net as D-NH swept to a straight-set victory in a 3A Region 4 final at Hampton-Dumont High School. The Wolverines (45-5) won 25-6, 25-7, 25-12. They advance to the state tournament for a 10th consecutive season and will play No. 11 North Polk at 10 a.m. next Wednesday in a quarterfinal matchup at U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids. Clarion-Goldfield ends a strong postseason run with an 18-16 overall record. “It’s a great deal for any team to go to state,” Dike-New Hartford hitter Madison LaVenz said. “Going again means a lot for my team.” Lavenz put down a team-leading 14 kills and added one of 11 team blocks for the Wolverines, who were able to sustain an early back-and-forth with the Cowgirls. C-G scored first to start the match and were able to keep it close to start as the Cowgirls fed off a boisterous student section as part of a large crowd of support in red. Lavenz knew that her teammates had been through moments like this before. “We always talk about blocking out the crowd and focusing on what we’re doing,” Lavenz said. Sure enough, the Wolverines stormed ahead as the offense warmed up, the serving kept the Cowgirls out of system and jitters returned with a few unforced errors too many against a Dike-New Hartford team eager to get back to the state tournament. The Wolverines cruised to a sec-

ond-set victory and subbed around in the third set while staying strong with their attacks at the net to finish off the sweep. “Our communication helped,” Wolverines libero Sydney Petersen said of tonight’s successes, “and I thought our hitting was phenomenal, we found the floor well and serving was key, too.” Dike sophomore Amber Rickert had 10 kills and was 18 of 20 from the service line with two aces and senior Haleigh Durnin led the block party with four stuffs at the net. Baylee Petersen contributed 12 kills to the potent Wolverines attack. This will be the 27th state tournament appearance all-time for Dike-New Hartford, and a chance to rebound from a state semifinal loss in last season’s 2A state tournament, which snapped a streak of four consecutive titles for Harms and the Wolverines. “They’re playing with energy and really communicating very well on the court,” Harms said. “If we continue to do that, that’s going to be a big help for us as we try to make a run in Cedar Rapids.” Dike-New Hartford Clarion-Goldfield
