By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER- During its regular meeting on Monday morning, the Grundy County Board of Supervisors received an update from assistant county engineer Steve Cox on the status of a handful of bridge repair and replacement projects and approved a recommendation for the expansion of a feeding operation for chickens. According to Cox, bridge D5 has been reopened, and bridge J13 near Morrison is steadily progressing. He added that Iowa Bridge and Culvert is planning to perform demolition on bridge C30 on November 15 and hopes to move quickly on the project. Cox also reported that 330th Street east of Beaman is in the process of being narrowed, and he has not received any word on a culvert replacement project north of Conrad. After a brief discussion, the board unanimously approved a recommendation that will allow Kevin Pruisner to expand a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) near Dike. Because the number of animal units is being increased from 1,840 to 2,094, the facility now requires a DNR master matrix assessment and a manure management plan. County Zoning Administrator Carie Sager reported that a hearing will be held next Tuesday for the Mossman family on a property colloquially known as the “Conrad mansion” north of town on Hawk Avenue as they are working to establish a group home for elderly residents. She added that the family has been working with the Iowa Department of Inspection and has followed all of the protocols and procedures, receiving state approval for the project. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the board: • Approved the clerk of court’s report. • Received updates on recent meetings, including the Northeast Iowa Response Group, which chairwoman Barb Smith attended.

Trump dominates Grundy County, Ross wins re-election By ROB MAHARRY and MICHAELA KENDALL The Grundy Register
GRUNDY COUNTY- Though the election hadn’t officially been called when The Grundy Register went to press on Tuesday evening, Republican Donald Trump appeared poised to become the 45th president of the United States, and he won Iowa’s six electoral votes, the first time the state has gone red since 2004. Trump received almost two-thirds of the votes cast in Grundy County, and locally, Republican incumbent county supervisor Jim Ross survived a challenge from independent David Strickler to secure his fourth term in the office. According to the unofficial results, 4,516 of the 6,932 voters who cast ballots in the traditionally conservative county (65.1 percent) went for Trump, compared to just 26.6 percent (1,847) for his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton. Libertarian Gary Johnson also received 3.4 percent of the vote, registering the strongest third party showing. “I was very disappointed in the percentage that went for Trump, and I definitely think that Kim Weaver was a better selection than Steve King,” County Democratic Chair-
woman Phyllis Holland said. “We learned a lot, we talked to a lot of people, and we’ll try our best to move forward. We’ll take those lessons and use them for the future.” Grundy County Republican chairman Brian Andersen did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday evening. A total of 1,421 residents in district one, which comprises Beaman, Conrad and the surrounding rural areas, cast votes in the supervisors’ race, and Ross received 65.2 percent of them while Strickler received 357 votes (25.1 percent). The two candidates primarily sparred over the issue of wind farm development in the county as Ross favored it, and Strickler opposed any further projects. “I’m very pleased and very grateful for the support,” Ross said. “The only thing we did as supervisors was to preserve the landowners’ rights. That’s basically all we did.” Strickler did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The other two supervisors up for re-election, Republicans Chuck Bakker of district three (Dike) and
Barb Smith of district five (Grundy Center), won in uncontested races—Bakker received 81.5 percent of the votes cast, and Smith received 80 percent in her race. Uncontested incumbent Sheriff Rick Penning and county auditor Rhonda Deters, both Republicans, also won re-election as each received almost 85 percent of the votes cast. U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican from New Hartford, won another term over former Democratic Lieutenant Governor Patty Judge, and he received approximately 76 percent of the total votes cast in the county. His grandson Pat, a Republican state representative, won his race for re-election easily against challenger Doris Fritz, racking up 75.3 percent of the votes (5,213) to Fritz’s 21.5 percent (1,492). U.S. Representative Steve King (R-Kiron) will head back to Washington after handily defeating Democrat Kim Weaver (R-Sheldon) in the district four race—King took home 69.4 percent of the votes in Grundy County (4,808) to just 26.3 percent for Weaver (1,818).

Town meeting on former Baptist church draws modest crowd By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER – Despite the former First Baptist Church’s status as a seemingly controversial topic around town, the public meeting to discuss that property on Monday night drew a crowd of just under 50 people. In spite of what seems like a low turnout – just three percent of residents showed up – Grundy Center Historical Society member Mary Doak said she thought it was time well spent. “We were pretty pleased with the turnout. I think it even exceeded our expectations,” Doak said. “And I think it was very helpful and informative for the people of Grundy Center. We were able to talk to them not only about the story behind the church, but also what options there are for the future of it.” The meeting, which was hosted
by the Historical Society, aimed to provide residents of Grundy Center with information about the church, what the city has done with it so far, and the different paths that the city could choose to pursue in regards to the future of it. Mayor Brian Buhrow explained to meeting attendees that as of now, the city is at a point where they will have to make a decision about the church sooner rather than later. “Winter is coming up, and the weight of that snow on that roof is not going to be good. So we need to be making a decision very quickly,” Buhrow said. Already, the roof has collapsed in one section of the building, and Buhrow said that after a freeze and thaw cycle, the state of the church might become even worse – perhaps beyond repair. He said that the council needs to make a decision soon, and that any
public input would be welcome in the decision making process. “We’re trying to decide what the cost effective way to do something with that building is,” he said. One option the city has is to tear it down, and send the waste to the landfill. According to Buhrow, preliminary bids to demolish the building and transport the waste to the nearest landfill (in Black Hawk County) came in at $165,000. The city could potentially find a cheaper way to do this though, he added, by diverting some of the waste from the landfill. One meeting attendee asked about another option: what it would cost to renovate the old church. Buhrow answered that the city doesn’t have a cost estimate on that, because the council isn’t interested in a renovation using city funds.

Church
From page 1 “We don’t anticipate the city renovating this building because we want to get rid of it. Our goal is to find a developer to take it over, and take it off the city’s hands. We would sell it to the developer, and then it’s up to them,” Buhrow said. In order to find a possible developer interested in the property, the city would need to submit an RFP (Request For Proposal) to gauge developer interest. If no developers are interested in the church as it sits in its current condition, the city has the option of ‘enveloping’ it – which would mean fixing the roof to prevent further damage, or getting it into a state where a developer would be interested in purchasing it. The council agreed that while they don’t want to renovate it, they wouldn’t absolutely rule out enveloping it if they knew they had a developer interested. At the council meeting that followed the town meeting, the council expressed an interest in submitting an RFP to find out if any developers are interested in the church as it is now. No official action was taken, but if the city does submit an RFP, what would happen afterwards depends on whether or not a developer comes forward. While the next steps are still unclear, the council will continue to evaluate the situation, and their future actions in regards to it. “You guys are charged with a lot of hard decisions that aren’t always popular, but the people elected you to do it, and it isn’t always easy,” Buhrow told the council. “But I commend you all for stepping up. You’re doing a great job.”

BCLUW Middle School student advances in Lions International Peace Poster contest
Kenna Paxson, a seventh grade student at BCLUW Middle School has taken the first step to becoming an internationally recognized artist by winning a local competition sponsored by the Beaman Lions Club. In October, seventh grade students from BCLUW Middle School participated in the twenty-ninth annual Lions International Peace Poster Contest. The contest is open to children who will be 11, 12, or 13 by November 15, 2016. The Beaman Lions Club sponsored the contest locally and asked Beaman Lions Club President and BCLUW Middle School teacher Tony Pieper to organize the contest. The students were asked to create a poster that visually communicates the contest theme, “A Celebration of Peace.” The students spent several days during the month
of October working on their posters at school. When they were finished, 48 posters were submitted to the Beaman Lions Club for judging on October 25. Members of the Beaman Lions Club choose five posters as finalists based on their originality, artistic merit, and portrayal of the contest theme. From those five finalists, a first, second, and third place winner was chosen. The winners were announced at an assembly held at the middle school on November 2. Beaman Lions Club members Leo Kopsa and Don Linnenbrink were on hand to help Tony Pieper recognize the winners and hand out prize money. Kenna’s poster was the first place winner and she received a check for $30. Dahlia Gardiner’s poster was the second
place winner and she received a check for $20. Corinn Swanson’s poster was the third place winner and she received a check for $10. Kenna’s poster will now be submitted by the Beaman Lions Club to the next level of competition. Subsequent judging will be held at the district, multiple district, and international levels with a chance to win the ultimate grand prize of $5,000 and a trip to an international awards ceremony. The Beaman Lions Club is cheering for Kenna as her poster advances in competition, and the club hopes that her vision will ultimately be shared with others around the world. The public may view all of the entries in this year’s Beaman Lions Club Peace Poster Contest in the main hall at the BCLUW Middle School.

BCLUW drama department to present “Sister Act” By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register CONRAD- An aspiring singer walks in on her boyfriend committing a grisly nightclub murder. While the police investigate, she goes into witness protection at a local convent against the initial wishes of the head nun. Chaos, hilarity and friendship ensue in “Sister Act,” the fall musical at BCLUW, which will be performed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the high school auditorium. The musical is based on the 1992 film of the same name starring Whoopi Goldberg, Harvey Keitel and Maggie Smith, and according to director Jackie Stevens, it was much more of a challenge for the cast than last year’s production of “The Wizard of Oz.” “It’s a very difficult show for us to put on because first of all, none of this music is familiar to them at
all, so it’s been a challenge in that respect,” she said. Musical selections in the show include “Take Me to Heaven,” “Bless Our Show,” “Sunday Morning Fever,” and the closer “Spread the Love Around.” Lead characters Summer Kramer, who plays Deloris, and Storm Wiseman, who plays Curtis, donned colorful disco era outfits during an interview on Monday night, and they enjoyed diving into the fashions of a bygone era in American musical history. “I Googled a lot of ‘70s fashion and African-American hairstyles, and there were a lot of Afros and shiny (clothes). I was like, ‘I can get down with this,’” Kramer said. “As far as guys’ apparel goes, it’s a lot more extreme than I thought it would be,” Wiseman added. Other primary characters include Mother Superior (Olivia Macy), Ed-
die the police officer (Ben Paper) and Sister Mary Robert (Jenna Willett). In all, about 25 students participated in this year’s production, and while it hasn’t always been easy for the cast, it has certainly been rewarding. The students are eager to show off the finished product for audiences. “Performing is always an anxious time no matter how well you think have the show down. There’s always something that happens performance night that you can deal with and improve on,” Wiseman said. “There’s always some surprise,” Macy added. “It’s definitely a learning process.” Tickets can be purchased the night of the show or in advance by calling BCLUW High School at (641) 366-2810. The shows will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Fisher family seeks The Grundy Register funding for Blaine’s on Main By ROB MAHARRY Sufficiency), which allows him to set Classifieds! The Grundy Register aside some of his social security earnAdvertise in
GREEN PRODUCTS General Office & Plant Conrad (641) 366-2001
CONRAD- Anyone who’s familiar with Conrad probably knows the story of one of its most famous residents, Blaine Fisher, by now. The athlete, ambassador and entrepreneur is now seeking funding for his latest endeavor, Blaine’s on Main, a restaurant/ gift shop that will serve breakfast and lunch while employing people with disabilities and showcasing their art. Due to unforeseen remodeling expenses, the Fisher family has set up an account at Midwestone Bank in Conrad for donations to help offset costs for Blaine. There's also a Crowdrise Fundraising page set up at https:// www.crowdrise.com/blaines-on-main. Fisher will utilize a program from the Social Security Administration called PASS (Plan to Achieve Self
ings and some of his earnings from Casey's each month into a savings account for a period of five years. That money can either be saved or borrowed up to the amount that would be saved for that period. Along with a potential matching grant of up to $10,000 and prior fundraising, Blaine had close to enough to get himself started up, investing almost $30,000 himself. However, the remodeling costs have run several thousand dollars higher than originally predicted, which is why the family is now working to raise additional funds. The restaurant will be located on Main Street in Conrad next to Hen and Chick’s Studio.

This one’s for you, Steve
Unlike thousands of other Cubs fans you’ve probably heard about in the last week, I don’t have a tear-jerking story about how my grandparents spent their entire lives waiting for a championship only to never experience it, and this one is for them. For all I know, none of mine were particularly interested in baseball, and I didn’t get to know either of my grandpas very well before they passed. I wasn’t even born into Cubs fandom—my dad likes the Royals, and I happened to be a 10-year old kid in Iowa with access to WGN when I first decided to pick a team to cheer for around the turn of the century. So, with last Wednesday night’s triumph after perhaps the greatest World Series game in history, I got to wondering who I should dedicate this to. Everyone was doing it, after all, By Rob Maharry and sans an inspiring generational tale of Cubs fandom or personal connection to Chicago (I’ve only been there twice), I was feeling left out. But as a part-time struggling musician and a fan of classic country music, I found a kindred spirit in the late Steve Goodman, despite the fact that he died seven years before I was born. Goodman, as you may or may not know, was the singer/songwriter and diehard Cubs fan behind the now-ubiquitous anthem “Go Cubs Go,” an upbeat ode to the north siders written in 1984 at the request of the team’s WGN radio affiliate. The song was widely played for about three years and didn’t experience a resurgence until 2007, when the team once again made it the official victory anthem and went on to win the division title. And on November 3, 2016, after Kris Bryant tossed the ball over to first and broke the longest title drought in professional sports, it was the most popular song in America, an inescapable smash hit some 32 years later. But the story behind “Go Cubs Go” isn’t nearly as sunny and rosy as the song itself might suggest. Goodman would only live for six more months after recording it, passing at the age of 36 after a battle with leukemia that lasted almost two decades. And he only wrote it after his previous ode to the historically futile franchise, “A Dying Cub’s Fan’s Last Request,” was deemed too depressing by the club’s GM, Dallas Green. The chorus of that song reads as follows: “Do they still play the blues in Chicago, When baseball season rolls around? When the snow melts away, Do the Cubbies still play In their ivy-covered burial ground? When I was a boy, they were my pride and joy But now they only bring fatigue To the home of the brave The land of the free And the doormat of the National League?” The narrator in the song goes on to blame the Cubs for his criminality, alcoholism, and gambling habits while poking fun at the current players even as they had one of their better seasons that year before blowing a 2-0 lead in the National League Championship Series to the San Diego Padres, in typical fashion. Though Goodman’s acerbic wit and reflective candor made him beloved in songwriting circles, it didn’t endear him to Cubs management at the time. He died as a mildly successful songwriter, known for penning Arlo Guthrie’s hit “The City of New Orleans,” which went on to become a national standard, and the David Allan Coe classic “You Never Even Called Me By My Name,” a country song that spoofed stereotypical country songs decades before it became common and trendy to do so. I’m sure Goodman would be as surprised as anyone to witness the new life that his throwaway song has experienced as the Cubs went from one of the worst teams in the league to World Series champions in just five short years. He was always more of a cult figure—loved and respected by much better known musicians like Kris Kristofferson, Coe, John Prine and Jimmy Buffett, to name a few— but now, despite standing just 5’2”, he’s a giant in Cubs history, one of the cornerstones of the oft-beleaguered but alas redeemed fan base. Throughout the series, some of Chicago’s most famous fans were featured prominently on the Fox broadcast: most notably, Bill Murray, Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder, John Cusack and Vince Vaughn, along with several of the legends associated with the team who passed away before the drought finally ended—Harry Caray, Ernie Banks and Ron Santo, to name a few. And of course, the victory has to be cathartic for Billy goats everywhere and a fellow named Steve Bartman as any talk of curses will now become nothing more than a distant memory, something to joke about with friends. But if anyone personified Cubs fandom during the most difficult years, it was Steve Goodman, so in lieu of my own personal sob story, I’d like to dedicate this title to him. When the rest of us are dead and gone, a new generation of diehards in blue pinstripes will be belting “Go Cubs Go” and flying the W from the rafters at Wrigley to the bars in downtown Des Moines and all of the spaces in between. And if the current trend of success continues, they’ll have plenty of flying to do. “They got the power, they got the speed; to be the best in the National League. Well this is the year, and the Cubs are real; so come on down to Wrigley Field.”

Letters to the editor To the Editor: Our vote is for Jim Ross. This is why. When we contact Jim with a question or concern about something in our county government, he’s always a good listener. He takes his time to explain county issues to us and refer us to the proper agency for help. This is the kind of person we need to represent us to the Grundy County board of supervisors. Wayne and Janet Fiscus, Conrad
Dear Editor: I have been an out of state reader of your publication for the past 3 months. My subscription is about to expire but before it does I would like to give my impressions of Grundy Center/Grundy County and its residents. I have read with great interest the articles concerning local events, sport activites and the political scene in your area. What a great breath of fresh air it has been for me! Your community reminds me of a by gone era that I enjoyed when I was a small boy. The way that your community lives in the modern era but yet still maintain its small town persona is indeed a credit to your citizens and the values they still practice in a world of ever changing technology. Nowhere in my readings did I ever read anything written that was all about some select group or persons. Nor was there anything remotely concerning self perceived entitlements. No sir, small town values, such as love of God and Country still exist in Grundy County! So to all of the citizens of Grundy County, stay the way you are. America needs more like you. Repectfully: Don M. A Georgia reader
To the Editor: So there you have it folks! In last week’s Grundy Register, Supervisor Jim Ross made it clear that he does not care about the property rights of landowners affected by the Rock Island Clean Line. All his talk about “landowners should have the right to do what they want with their property,” evidently only applies when it affects him, his property and his bottom line. Ross is misinformed about the Rock Island Clean Line (RICL) and the purpose of eminent domain. Eminent domain is for “public projects” such as roads, bridges, schools and “public utilities.” Eminent domain is not used for private investment groups masquerading as a public utility so they can build a speculative, un-needed 500 mile extension cord. An Illinois appellate court ruled that RICL is not a public utility, they have no customers, no assets, and the project is not needed. It’s interesting that Ross always uses the same argument about property rights when talking about his desire for wind farms in Grundy County. Yet by signing a wind contract with a wind energy developer, landowners give up an enormous amount of rights and discretionary freedoms as to what they can subsequently do with their own land. Wind developers descend on rural communities, full well knowing that they are dealing with inexperienced, non-technical and often times elderly citizens. They take advantage of these people’s trusting nature and make speculative, one-sided claims. It’s too bad that none of the Supervisors bothered to attend a February, 2016 presentation sponsored by Grundy County Extension and given by Roger McEowen, former Professor of Iowa State University’s Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation. The Supervisors missed a golden opportunity to educate themselves on what’s actually in a wind turbine easement contract. After the meeting, several landowners were shaking their heads and could be heard saying, “Why would anyone sign that contract?” If landowners are considering signing a lease agreement contract, they should have a trusted lawyer examine it. Ross is even attempting to lure voters with the hint of property tax reductions from the wind farm revenue. Supervisor Bakker had previously stated the wind farm revenue was unlikely to reduce taxes, but it “MAY” help reduce future property tax increases, although it’s probably a safe bet that taxpayers won’t see that happening. To date, the Wellsburg wind farm has paid zero tax dollars to the county and the full incremental tax won’t be due until the year 2022.

Who owns the wind?
How much money can I make from the wind farm deal? That is the question on the minds of farmers interested in squeezing every penny out of the operation or the landowner making just a little bit more money. The bottom line is the bottom line, but as a respected former schoolteacher of mine said many times, “Why is it that some people need so much more to have enough?” Growing up on the farm has taught me priceless values that sustain the family farming operation through thick and thin. It has taught me a good strong work ethic, resilient attitude, spirit of fair play, watching over your neighbor, caring for wildlife that shares our land but most of all being a good steward of the rich Grundy County soil. Soil that has shaped this rural legacy of values passed on to me by my ancestors to whom I will ever be in debt. People think this is free cash, a windfall of money with promises of great tax revenue. It is claimed that it will benefit local schools. For years now, there have been turbines sitting in the Gladbrook-Reinbeck school district. Nothing is free without strings attached. EDF Corporation, which is French owned, knows this and works hard to incentivize farmers and landowners with the promise of free money to avoid the question of who does own the wind. The wind corporation controls the script and outcome, which is why the promise of free money overshadows other concerns, such as who owns the soundscape we listen to? Who owns the horizon we peer into day and night? Who owns the wildlife that depends on an unobstructed flyway and migratory routes of the beautiful skies of Grundy County? If the promise of free money becomes irresistible and we give in, then we have just a answered the question. Until then, no one owned the wind. The wind was a resource that benefited everyone. The wind corporation owns more than the wind. They own the farmer who surrendered control of the land, gravel roads, tons of buried concrete and the towering steel with the promise to pay. The farmer has abdicated control to that piece of land with no reasonable way to reclaim it even if the promise is broken. What is gone is the full ownership of the land. What is gone is the promise of passing this unencumbered land to our children and grandchildren free and clear. We will share the air space with foreign entities unconcerned with preserving our way of life that we have traded tons of steel, concrete, asphalt and gravel covering the rich soil of Grundy County. So, how much money are you going to make from the wind farm deal? Ironically, life diminishes in proportion to the lease payment. The farmer loses the power and ability to shape the destiny of their farmland to the wind corporation. The farmer gives up ownership of the land and birthright. Who owns the wind now? They do. What about the liberties of those who do not want the wind turbines? The value of our property decreases. There are health concerns for families and livestock because of the free electricity. We get nothing but a landscape littered with moving, blinking noisy machines. Gone is wildlife, gone is our rural quiet, gone is the peaceful evening sitting outside, gone is the unrestricted view of colorful sunsets, gone is the unimpeded view of the milky way and our community solidarity built by generations of farm families. The city dwellers hundreds of miles away get cheap electricity without sacrificing anything at all. The residents of the east side of the county get a paved road. Doug Haren, with input from members of the Erwin “Bud” Haren family

Center Theatre’s Reel-to-Reel At the Center Theatre on Friday, November 11 at 7 p.m. will be the comedy Keeping Up With The Joneses, starring Zach Galifianakis, Isla Fisher, Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot. This movie is rated PG-13 for language, running approximately 110 minutes in length. At 7:30 will be the faith-based/true story/drama I’m Not Ashamed, starring Masey McLain. This movie is rated PG13 for mild thematic material, running approximately 110 minutes in length. There will be no weekend matinees this week. * FRIDAYS ARE 50 cent Fridays at the Center Theatre! receive your choice of MEDIUM popcorn or any drink for just 50 cents! * In the comedy Keeping Up With The Joneses, Jeff and Karen Gaffney (Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher), an ordinary suburban couple find it’s not easy keeping up with the Joneses (Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot), their impossibly gorgeous and ultra-sophisticated new neighbors. Karen is certain no couple is that perfect and starts keeping a close eye on the Joneses, only to discover that their hospitable new neighbors are actually covert operatives. Soon all four of them are caught up in an international espionage imbroglio. Keeping Up With The Joneses’ players are all perfectly cast and this spy spoof tale has just the right mix of scheming skullduggery, neighborhood inanity and preposterous pratfalls with even some nice messages about honesty and family thrown in. Don’t miss this comedy flick this week at the Center Theatre! I’m Not Ashamed is a biopic about Rachel Joy Scott, who was the first student killed during the 1999 shooting spree at Columbine High School. This faith-based drama uses Scott's diary to retell the story of her tragically short life. Rachel loved to journal. “I’ve always been drawn to hands. I think it’s because it’s the
way we touch people,” high school student Rachel Scott wrote in her journal. “If one person could go out of their way to show compassion, it could start a chain reaction.” From the time she was little, Rachel had a sense of destiny. One day when she was a young girl, she pulled her dresser out, traced her handprint on the back and wrote, "These hands belong to Rachel Joy Scott and will someday touch millions of people's hearts." It was a secret confession, one that her mother only discovered after her death. Growing up, Rachel knew the love of God, but she wasn’t always ready to receive it. At times her faith was on fire … and at other times it was at odds with her everyday life. As she wrote in her journal: “I don’t understand why having a walk with God is so hard for me. I’m so weak; at school, with friends, at work.” Having reached a breaking point when her relationship with a non-believing boyfriend ended, Rachel found inspiration from helping a former homeless. After praying, “Father, use my life to touch the world and let your light shine through me,” her renewed commitment to Jesus played out compassionately and powerfully at her high school … and around the world. Based on Rachel’s honest and heartfelt journals about the struggles of teenage life and the challenge of living for God, I’m Not Ashamed is a hope-filled reminder that when we put our lives in God’s hands, we can make a world of difference. When Rachel’s hopes and dreams seemed to end, God was just getting started. For the most up-to-date movie information, please check out our new website at www.grundycentertheatre.com.

Northey comments on Iowa Crops and Weather Report DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October. “The weather was nearly ideal for harvest last week and farmers have now harvested 86 percent of corn and 95 percent of beans statewide. The warm and dry weather has also been very good for establishment of cover crops and allowed good progress building new conservation practices and getting other work done on the farm,” Northey said. The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia. The report summary follows here: CROP REPORT Despite 6.0 days suitable for fieldwork statewide during the week ending November 6, 2016, corn for grain and soybean harvest progress remains behind both the previous year and the five-year average, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. A wide variety of activities were performed during the week, including chopping and baling corn
stalks, tillage, tiling, and manure and fertilizer applications. Corn for grain continued to be piled outside as storage becomes tighter. Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 7 percent short, 85 percent adequate and 7 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 5 percent short, 83 percent adequate and 11 percent surplus. Eighty-six percent of the corn crop for grain has been harvested, 4 days behind last year and 1 day behind the five-year average. Moisture content of all corn for grain being harvested in Iowa dropped to 16 percent. Ninety-five percent of the soybean crop has been harvested, 1 week behind last year, and 5 days behind normal. Corn and soybean harvest in southwest and south central Iowa continues to lag behind the rest of the State. Grain movement from farm to elevator was rated 62 percent moderate to heavy. Off-farm grain storage availability was rated 69 percent adequate to surplus. On-farm grain storage availability was rated 62 percent adequate to surplus. Livestock conditions were described as excellent with drier than normal feedlots for this time of year when compared to the previous 2 years.

News from the Kling Memorial Library in Grundy Center
Barn Quilts of Grundy County The folk-art quilts that adorn dozens of barns across Grundy County have become a prominent form of public art that people from all over the country have sought out to admire. According to the Barn Quilts website, “The mission of the Barn Quilts of Grundy County is to promote and celebrate the unique agricultural experience of Grundy County through the visual combination of barns, which were vital to the economic well-being of the rural community, and the comfort of handmade quilts that provided warmth, beauty, and an outlet for individual artistic expression.” There are over 65 quilt blocks on barns, corncribs, and other farm buildings around the county. The blocks are based off of quilt patterns that were selected by local quilters, and are illustrative of Grundy County, rural life, and agriculture. Evie Haupt from the Barn Quilts of Grundy County Board will be at the library on Monday, November 14th, at 2:00 pm to share about the Barn Quilt Project; its origins, how it has grown and expanded to other Iowa counties, and how the project has impacted Grundy County.

‘Maintain, Don’t Gain” program at GCMH GRUNDY CENTER - Are you looking for motivation to prevent weight gain during the upcoming holiday season? Grundy County Memorial Hospital is offering Maintain, Don’t Gain, which is a team activity to encourage participants to approach the busy holiday season with a plan to avoid gaining weight. “Many of us begin the new year with five or more pounds to lose, and we tend to think a few extra pounds during the holidays won’t hurt,” remarks Health Promotions Manager Crystal Petersen, dietitian and nutritionist. “Research shows that an annual holiday weight gain of one pound is typically not ever lost, but adds up over the years,” says Petersen. “November and December may not be the best time to begin a new eating plan or exercise routine, but maintaining your current weight is a great place to begin!” she remarks. Maintain, Don’t Gain begins with a team weigh-in during the week before Thanksgiving, November 17 – 23. Registrants will receive information to support healthy holiday
eating, such as recipe makeovers, healthier ingredient swaps, and meal planning tips along with ideas for creating new family holiday traditions that don’t revolve around food. Teams may register for Maintain, Don’t Gain by phoning 319-8244161 or emailing brenda.schmidt@ unitypoint.org. Teams will weigh out the first week of January, 2017, and those who maintain their starting weight or lost weight during the holiday season will be entered into a drawing for prizes.

A friend is back
I was thinking about all the things that I still needed to be doing at my house before winter. The deck furniture needs stored away and all the things that should be sorted in the garage before winter. And where was I? In the treestand, of course. I guess what started me thinking that way was the fact that there were all sorts of animals around me getting ready for winter. The Fox Squirrels were about as active as they could be that afternoon. One inquisitive youngster came down the tree that I was in to check me out but that story will be for another day. The hawks were flying overhead. Each one making large circles in the sky. Each circle slowly taking them a little farther south on their migration route. Yet seemingly in no real hurry to get that job done. But should the weather have taken a nasty turn, the trip could quickly become a scramble to beat it south as soon as possible. Like my last minute winter jobs could turn to a scramble (and have in past years). So, I had been daydreaming about all that I had to do. And then the sur-
Conservation Comments
By KEVIN WILLIAMS Grundy County Conservation Director prise! It was nearing dark. Another evening’s hunt would soon end. I guess that I was so deep in thought
about those jobs that I had left to do that I didn’t pay close attention to an owl that called in the distance. It wasn’t until the second round of hoots that it hit me. That was a Barred Owl! Why was I excited by that sound? It is a call that I haven’t heard in my woods for years! Barred Owl calls were a familiar sound in my woods years ago. But then they stopped. They disappeared. The timing was with the West Nile virus. When we were talking about that showing up in Iowa, my Barred Owls disappeared. I could never say that it was the virus but if not, a huge coincidence. That’s why I was so excited to hear it. I hadn’t heard one for a dozen years or more. The Great Horn Owls were residents now and I thought it would be the case from here on out. I listened to the call several more times before it ceased. It was now dark and I climbed down and headed for the car. But you can bet that every time out for the remainder of the fall, I’ll be watching for Barred Owls as well as deer.

GRUNDY CENTER – The Grundy County Memorial Hospital (GCMH) Emergency Department is 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 five percent of more than 1,800 emergency departments nationwide.

Grassley Q & A:
Veterans Day
Question: What does your office do to serve veterans? Answer: For all the honorable men and women who volunteer to join the U.S. Armed Forces and serve our country in uniform, I work to ensure the United States of America upholds its promises made to these patriots who put their lives on the line to protect and defend our sacred freedoms. As one of two Iowa U.S. Senators, I work tirelessly to represent my constituents whose service and sacrifice in the military make our communities and our nation stronger, safer and more secure. Last year I started a veterans fellowship program in my Des Moines and Cedar Rapids offices to provide a point of contact for Iowa veterans and serve as a community outreach liaison. Iowans who have served in the military have intimate knowledge about issues and challenges facing veterans and it helps my office provide better service on the issues that matter most to them. What’s more, I prioritize constituent casework for veterans and their families to cut through red tape at the Department of Veterans Affairs. That may include working to obtain long-awaited military medals or tracking down benefits delays in the bureaucracy. In addition, I have long served as a tenacious watchdog of the sprawling Veterans Health Administration to demand accountability and transparency, such as the inexcusable patient backlog scandal, as an example. I learned long ago that the federal bureaucracy requires a short leash. The culture of mismanagement and inept leadership at the VA has contributed to tragic patient deaths and eroded the public’s trust in the covenant between members of our military and the federal government. When the patient wait scandal in Arizona was exposed two years ago, Congress took swift action to provide additional resources to the VA and give veterans more flexibility to receive better care with the Veterans Choice program. The “Choice, Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014” was enacted to root out the corruption and wrongdoing. Unfortunately, the federal bureaucracy moves at a snail’s pace and until and unless people are held accountable, change is not going to happen. In fact, only one to six people “in charge” for patient-wait time problems at the VA have been fired in those two years. Manipulating wait times ought to be a fireable offense. Plain and simple. It doesn’t help veterans when the White House glosses over the facts and claims that wrongdoers have been punished when, in fact, they haven’t been subject to consequences. The culture will not change unless people are fired from top to bottom. Building accountability and strengthening morale need to go hand-in-hand. It’s not an either-or proposition. Let’s remember a fundamental principle at stake here. From enlistment, to recruitment and throughout their military service, our men and women in uniform who serve the United States of America with honor and distinction have earned their military benefits. They had our backs and now we must give back to them. My advocacy also extends from our youngest military leaders who I am honored to nominate for our elite U.S. military service academies to POWs and MIAs and to the families of our fallen heroes. The bottom line is this. America’s veterans deserve to have confidence that the nation’s VA medical facilities will uphold the highest standards of care and that they will be held to account if they fail to do so. Most recently, I have worked to improve mental health care services for our service members and veterans, especially those who return from the front lines with post-traumatic stress disorder and other invisible wounds that are contributing to a growing opioid addiction and suicide crisis among our service members. I am committed to continue building awareness and identifying solutions and services for prevention, treatment and recovery that will restore hope and save lives. Question: Do you have an update on the case of a deceased veteran for whom you joined with Sen. Joni Ernst and called upon the Secretary of the VA for answers regarding his death? Answer: First, I offer my condolences to the family and loved ones of Alan Meisel, an Army veteran who served two tours of duty in Vietnam and lived for decades in Iowa. The VA determined his exposure to the defoliant Agent Orange led to Parkinson’s disease. He passed away under very questionable circumstances this year in Texas. He qualified for $3,865 in monthly VA disability pension benefits and was promised free care for life. And yet, he was moved out of nursing care to a cheap rental home where he lived with two convicted sex offenders who were on parole. Sen. Ernst and I wrote the VA to investigate the circumstances of his passing. He was allegedly beaten by his roommates and died three months later, weighing only 102 pounds. We have asked for answers regarding the fiduciary who was appointed by the VA for Mr. Meisel to protect him from fraud and abuse. Specifically, we want to know what oversight measures were taken by the VA to ensure the fiduciary was looking out for the best interests of Mr. Meisel. I commend the couple from Des Moines who drew the public’s attention to his death by contacting the Des Moines Register. They wrote “his death mattered so much to us, but it should matter to all citizens of the United States” who need to be aware that aging veterans like their friend apparently slipped through the cracks of a system. So far, there are many more questions than answers in Mr. Meisel’s case. As long as I serve the people of Iowa in the United States Senate, I will work to do right by our veterans. As I say to the veterans I am honored to meet at my county meetings and to those who come to the war memorials in Washington, D.C., with the Honor Flights: You shall not be forsaken, nor forgotten.

Spartans defeat No. 5 Tri-Center to advance to state WEST DES MOINES – The Grundy Center volleyball team took down another top-10 team in the state on Tuesday night. As a reward, the Spartans will get a chance to continue their strong postseason run at the state tournament in Cedar Rapids with a 3-1 victory over Class 2A No. 5 Tri-Center in a 2A regional final at West Des Moines Valley High School. Grundy Center (25-16) won 2624, 23-25, 25-23, 25-22, following up last week’s win over No. 9 Woodward-Granger with another upset. The Spartans will play top-ranked Western Christian in a state quarterfinal Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids. Kylie Willis put down 22 kills to lead the Spartans and Kyah and Landry Luhring had 20 and 18 digs, respectively, to power a defensive effort that was able to weather a strong Trojans attack, led by top attacker Allison Eikenberry with 29 kills. “I love this feeling,” Grundy Center head coach Lori Willis said. “Love the fact that these girls get to go to state, love that Allyson (Grimm) gets to finish her senior year at state.” The two teams set the tone in the
first set with a back-and-forth affair with Grundy Center able to prevail to take the early lead as Tri-Center made key hitting errors late to give the Spartans the critical points for victory. The teams battled to a 23-23 tie in the second set but Emma McDonald and Allison Eikenberry, who had 10 and 29 kills in the match for Tri-Center, respectively, put down back-to-back kills to even the match at one set a piece. “We knew we had to just sideout when [Eikenberry] was in the front row,” Kylie Willis said. “We were serving them deep to force them to go somewhere else and we were extremely aggressive with serving tonight and I think we took care of the ball in that aspect.” Tri-Center played from behind for most of the third set, but was able to break set point in the third set and make the score 24-23, but Brooke Flater slammed down one of her 17 kills on Tuesday to give the Spartans the momentum heading to the fourth set. “Once Brooke’s in that right spot, we’re going to run a back-six for her, and it’s going to be golden, and it was,” Willis said. “It’s great to be
the coach that says you do this, and the player does just that, it’s great.” Tri-Center led 21-20 late in the fourth set, seeming poised to force a decisive fifth set, but Grundy Center unloaded an impressive four unanswered points, with two blocks and a Kylie Willis kill setting up match point, which the Spartans delivered two points later. “We had a lot of confidence in our play that we knew we could do anything,” Kylie Willis said. “It’s great because we are the underdogs and nobody expects the underdog so we’re just going to give it our best shot (at state).” Grundy Center 26 23 25 25 Tri-Center 24 25 23 22 Kills – GC (Kylie Willis 22, Brooke Flater 17, Landry Luhring 12); TC (Allison Eikenberry 29, Emma McDonald 10).

Spartan volleyball squad returns to state GRUNDY CENTER – The Grundy Center volleyball team is a textbook example of the team that’s a year away from reaching the highest competitive level in the state. Only this Spartans team refused to wait. The Spartans (25-16) know they’re better than what their record is or their state ranking, the latter of which was nonexistent as Grundy Center went unranked all season long in the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union’s weekly rankings dispatch. “Every week we’d look at the rankings when they come up and just say, ‘Welp,’” Grundy Center coach Lori Willis said. “We’d laugh. We knew how good we were, we knew we were on the verge, but we know we took our bumps and bruises from playing up (against bigger schools) as much as we did.” This battle-tested squad has taken out No. 9 Woodward-Granger and No. 5 Tri-Center en route to a 2A state quarterfinal with No. 1 Western Christian played Nov. 9 at the U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids. Win or lose, this season was a testament to Grundy Center’s ability to win now, not later, with at least six underclassmen seeing frequent playing time and just one senior on the roster, Allyson Grimm. Grimm is averaging 1.73 digs per set for the Spartans, but her role is not insignificant on this youth-powered team. Willis sees Grimm as “the mom” for the rest of the players given her senior status. “She takes care of the group,” Willis said. “Even if she makes a mistake, that’s alright, it’s on to the next one and she’s very encouraging, very positive.” The approaching end of Grimm’s high school volleyball career was all the more apparent as the Spartans prepared to head to Cedar Rapids.
“It’s been a rollercoaster,” Grimm said. “At the beginning of this year we were young and not so (cohesive) as a team, but I’d say ever since August with the team camps we’ve went to, we’ve grown together.” Though Grundy Center can speak with confidence that they knew they had the potential in them to reach this goal, Landry Luhring, the only junior on the Spartans’ roster, would be quick to admit that even she thought a state berth was at least a year away from coming to fruition. “No way, we were so young,” said Luhring, averaging 2.31 kills per set and contributing among the team’s best in serving, digs and blocks. “But we’ve gotten used to playing with each other and our chemistry has grown so much.” So what brought Grundy Center to the U.S. Cellular Center on Wednesday thinking they could pull off their biggest upset yet against Western Christian, defending 2A state champions and winners of the second-most volleyball titles in state history? “Just staying positive,” said Brooke Flater, who’s averaging 2.35 kills per set and is the team’s second-best blocker with 65 stuffs. “We know we have nothing to lose, so we just need to come out swinging and play our game,” Kylie Willis, Lori’s daughter, said. This is the first trip to the state tournament for Grundy Center under Lori Willis, a long-time assistant under former head coach Darwin Sents for all eight of Grundy Center’s trips to the state tournament. Now, Lori will get to enjoy the state tournament experience of coaching her daughter on the floor, as Kylie, a sophomore, makes her state tourney debut. “I love being able to share the passion for the game with my mom,” Kylie said. “We can have our mom/
daughter moments at times, but it’s really fun and I enjoy it.” What Lori has enjoyed seeing in her daughter is an unquestionable leap in talent and ability that has pushed Kylie to be an all-around star for the Spartans, with team highs in blocks (137 total) and kills (3.41 per set), 2.41 digs per set, and a .954 serving efficiency with 33 ace serves. “She used to be so uncoordinated,” Lori admitted. “She knew the game really well but she’d always get ahead of herself. … She had an opportunity to play for the (Sioux City club volleyball team) Six Pack and she blossomed from there. Freshman season rolled around and her and Brooke battled for that spot in the middle and I had no idea it’d be Kylie, at all. And being a parent-coach, Kylie had to prove herself over and over again to keep fighting for that spot but we had other coaches in the gym that made it plain that it was Kylie. … She had won that spot and taken that opportunity. “Even at the last (regional) match I was still thinking, oh my gosh, that’s my kid. It brings me an extra level of joy to know how far she’s come.” Kylie is just one of many girls that Lori has helped mentor since they were elementary school volleyball players, and she wants to make sure that the Spartans enjoy every minute of this trip to Cedar Rapids, on and off the court. “If you can’t enjoy what you’re doing, what’s the point?” Lori said. “We do want to take moments where we can sit and look up and say, ‘Yes, we did this.’ We will take time for those little moments in our lives. But this team does know how to focus and buckle down, too, and I know that once it’s time to start warming up, we’re going to get serious.”

D-NH volleyball takes nothing for granted at state tourney
By JAKE RYDER Mid-America Publishing 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 five-set 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 ag-
gressive 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, DikeNew 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 aver-
age 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.” 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 Dike-New 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.”

Rebels gets physical, blank Montezuma to return to state semifinals
By JAKE RYDER Mid-America Publishing GLADBROOK – The Gladbrook-Reinbeck football team’s offense took a step forward on Friday night. The Rebels had an efficient second quarter to rack up points on the scoreboard and rode that momentum past Montezuma for a convincing 35-0 victory in a Class A state quarterfinal at the Tama County Fairgrounds in Gladbrook. Parker Bown rushed 19 times for 144 yards and two touchdowns to lead G-R’s rushing attack and Rebels quarterback Hunter Lott connected on 13 of his 18 passes for 145 yards and two touchdowns through the air. The Rebels outgained Montezuma (8-3) 406-110 in yards of total offense as an undefeated season continued for G-R in a quest for back-to-back state titles. Class A No. 2 Gladbrook-Reinbeck will face No. 1 St. Ansgar in a state semifinal clash at 10:06 a.m. on Friday. “The offense stepped up tonight and did what it needed to do to get a physical mentality,” G-R head coach John Olson said. “(Offensive coordinator) Darren Trunck did an awesome job with the offense and he needs a lot of credit for that. … We can do play action, we can do the screens, but on 3rd-and-3, we want to get the ball to a tailback and let’s get going.” Bown and Lott used their offensive lineman up front to bruise Montezuma early, as the teams mostly battled for field position throughout the first quarter. G-R’s best shot at a first-quarter touchdown ended with an incomplete pass on 4th-and-2 from Montezuma’s 11-yard line. But the Braves never got into enemy territory as the Rebel defense held strong. The floodgates opened in the second quarter, as Matt Roeding hauled in a 20-yard pass from Hunter Lott as time expired in the first quarter and set up Bown’s first touchdown scamper of the day, a rumbling blast off the left end of the line before streaking up the sideline for a 40yard score with 11:50 left to halftime. Montezuma went three-andout on the ensuing drive and G-R moved the chains efficiently on the
next drive to set up Bown’s 18-yard touchdown run with 7:11 left in the second quarter. The Braves got some of their best starting field position of the night on the next drive, starting at their own 45, but stalled out at the 48 and G-R scored yet again, as Lott brushed off a sack on first down from Montezuma’s 34-yard line and found Gage Murty on a screen, who shed tacklers on his way to the end zone for a 21-0 lead with 2:33 left in the second quarter. “Early on, we didn’t punch in every time we wanted to, but they would have to go 70 yards,” Olson said. “And (Montezuma’s) a team that can do that. But can they do it 3-4 times? … We had to put together some long drives and we’re both Class A teams so you’re going to have guys playing on both sides of the ball and getting tired. And we looked a little tired out there at times, too, honestly. … It was a tough game and I’m proud of our guys.” Olson admitted he still didn’t feel completely comfortable with a 21-0 lead at halftime against a Montezuma team averaging 30.2 points per game entering Friday’s contest. “They’re such a good team that a QB draw here, a kick return there and they might be right back into it,” Olson said. Two big plays from Erik Knaack gave Olson some peace of mind. The Rebel senior grabbed a 17yard pass from Hunter Lott with 7:44 left in the third quarter to put G-R up four touchdowns. On the next drive, Knaack jumped in front of a Montezuma receiver’s route for his fourth interception of the season. Two plays later, Lott charged in for an 8-yard score and started the 35-point continuous clock with 6:07 left in the third quarter. “An outside guy almost set a pick on me like in basketball,” Knaack said of the interception. “Luckily I was able to get around that and saw another guy doing a flare and just tried to beat him out there. Luckily, I did. “The coaching was huge for us. Olson’s a great defensive coordinator, and he knew what to expect every time. We got some really good inside linebackers, too, that know
how to read and how to tackle, so we were confident coming into this game.” Playmaking ability from the outside in, from Knaack to Bown to Lott, just to name a few, has the potential to keep St. Ansgar guessing in Friday’s UNI-Dome clash. “We can get the results from the physicality,” Olson said. “We didn’t have a lot of guys in the Dome last year necessarily, but just with the experience from the past and experience from being around other successful teams in the past, we’re excited about the physical nature of that football game and how we did things the right way. The results were just what we needed.”

By JOHN JENSEN Mid-America Publishing MONROE – 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. “You know where we’re going next,” he said to his team with a grin that seemed to stretch all the way back to northeast Iowa. “We’re going to the dome!” 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. “Our kids were dialed in from the get-go,” Betts said during a postgame interview. “Our seniors said they wanted to get to the dome again this year after being there last year. I’m not sure there were a whole lot of people who believed they could do it, but they believed they could.” 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. “We stuck to the plan and the kids just bought in and we got better and better and here we are.” The win sends eighth-ranked D-NH to a semifinal matchup with second-ranked Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley which outscored Kuemper Catholic 49-28 Friday. The semifinal berth is D-NH’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. “It’s really nice (to return to the dome) because a lot of people didn’t believe in us this year,” Senior Nick Durnin said. “It’s good to prove the doubters wrong.” 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. “Our line, we all played really well tonight,” senior Ben Latusek said. “Trent did his work, best running back in the state, we did our work. “(He) makes it so easy to block,” Latusek said of playing with Johnson. “You know that you only have to create that small hole and Trent’s out the gate. You know that he’s going to run as hard as he can, so that gives you something to play as hard as you can. It’s really fun.” 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

Dike-New Hartford senior Noah Heathcoat brings down PCM running back Wes Cummings from behind during Friday's Class 2A semifinal at PCM. (John Jensen/Mid-America Publishing photo) against the Wolverines after averaging 9.5 yards per play entering the contest. “We told our secondary, you guys have to stop the passing game and we’re going to commit six guys to the run and that’s it and everybody had a job to do,” Betts said. “We’ve preached all year, you just do your job and good things will happen. People did their jobs.” Despite the superlatives, thing looked fairly bleak for the Wolverines very early in Friday’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. “I pulled the defense over and told them, ‘We gave them a short field, there’s a lot of game left, we’ve got to answer now,’” Betts said. And answer the Wolverines did, needing just 52 seconds to respond. After staring 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. “The line gave me a hole and all I had to do was … run,” Johnson said. “Especially after that first drive, everybody’s like, ‘Oh crap,’ and that (run) really got us back on track,” he said. We got our heads back in the game. I think we were just nervous at first.” “That’s huge,” Betts said. “That gets the momentum back going our way and all of the sudden our guys are ready to play.” The deficit didn’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, DikeNew 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.

Faust closes out successful sophomore season with awards and recognition By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register OTTUMWA- Indian Hills defenseman Stephanie Faust, a 2015 Grundy Center High School graduate, was honored as the defensive MVP and named to the all-tournament team at the NJCAA All-Region XI tournament last month. Faust was also named second team all-region after earning first team honors as a freshman. She has
started 33 games in her two seasons and has been a team captain both years. She scored the only goal for the Warriors in the championship match, which ended in a 2-1 double overtime loss to fourth-ranked Iowa Western. Indian Hills went 16-4-1 and just missed a trip to the national tournament in Melbourne, Florida. The Warriors won 26 games over the past two seasons after winning just 19 games in the seven seasons prior.

Willis named conference player of the year Spartans, Comets well represented on all-NICL West teams
By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register GRUNDY COUNTY- A total of seven members of the state-bound Grundy Center volleyball team received all-NICL West honors, and local squads were well represented on the teams, which were released last week. Grundy Center sophomore middle hitter Kylie Willis far and away led the West in kills in conference play with 81 (and a 0.578 kill efficiency rating), and the player of the year selection had 40 digs and a conference-best 30 total blocks. She served 97-of-98 with nine aces. Junior outside hitter Landry Luhring and sophomore middle hitter Brooke Flater were also named to the first team—Luhring had 45 kills, 38 digs and six aces on 44-of-47 service, while Flater finished with 43 kills and 16 total blocks. BCLUW was the only other local school to get players on the first team, as senior hitter Samantha Ubben and sophomore hitter Easton Swanson were both recognized. In conference play, Ubben finished with 58 kills (2.9 per set), a team-high 71 digs and seven total blocks while serving 67-of-77 with seven aces. Swanson improved greatly during her sophomore campaign, finishing with 47 kills, 20 total blocks and 63 digs in NICL West matches. The Spartans had a pair of second team selections: sophomores Sydney Mathews and Hailey Wallis. Mathews led the conference with 191 assists and served 79-of-84 with nine aces. Wallis finished with 37 kills, 80-of-87 serves with 10 aces, 22 digs and 11 total blocks. Comet second team selections included sophomore setter Cate Nason (162 assists, second in the conference) and senior Jordyn Beeghly (52 kills, 10 total blocks), and AGWSR senior Maddie Brandt, who finished with 41 kills and served 69-of-80 with 15 aces. Area honorable mention selections included Grundy Center freshman Kyah Luhring, BCLUW senior Leah Yantis, AGWSR senior Alana Groninga and Gladbrook-Reinbeck senior Karlee Clark. West Marshall’s Denise Coberley was named coach of the year.

Book drive raises awareness of ITP locally
By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register During the month of September, which is National ITP Awareness Month, one local family set out to bring attention to the rare disease by hosting a book drive. Grundy Center resident Katie Thornton-Lang’s 9-year-old son, Michael, was diagnosed with ITP in January of 2015. ITP, which stands for Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpurra, is an autoimmune bleeding disorder that causes blood platelets to drop for relatively unknown reasons. If platelets become too low, the condition can be quite serious and dangerous, as a person can spontaneously bleed out or suffer from internal bleeding, including sudden brain bleeds. After a number of difficult months, during which Michael received two blood transfusions after his platelets reached dangerously low levels, Michael was declared in remission in October of last year. Since then the Thornton-Lang family has made it their mission to raise awareness of the disease. During September of last year, Michael created a Go-Fund-Me page, where he raised $1,000 for the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital, where he received treatment for ITP. He also raised $150 for the Platelet Disorder Support Association. This year, the family organized an ITP Awareness Book Drive during the month of September. With the help of community members, the Thornton-Langs collected eight large totes full of new and lightly used children’s books,
Grundy residents among those headed to Haiti for Thanksgiving Guest Article By Pastor Phil Dicks In a season of Thanksgiving, eleven Grundy County residents will be celebrating the holiday as part of a missions team to Haiti this Thanksgiving. Those who will be working in Haiti include a returning team of Stephanie Wallen, Reagan Derrick and Pastor Phil and Connie Dicks. Joining us new on this life-changing Haiti team include Somer and Scott Muller, Kolby and Kayden Muller, Nolan Freeman, Jordan Hook and Harlan Persinger. In addition, two Disciple of Christ Christians Church members, Amber and Andy Elliott of Newton, will also be along. “We have all been feeling the nudge to be a part of something that benefits someone else and desiring to see, experience and discover our faith in a new and meaningful ways,” said Pastor Phil Dicks of the United Methodist Church and Team Leader. “This team of 13 persons varies in age and
life experiences. But they don’t vary in their calling to come together as a team to serve the poorest of the poor in Haiti. It’s great to see Grundy Center residents who are looking forward to an adventure of new things and the hope for personal growth while living out God’s mission in serving others. That always comes first.” The team will leave on Friday, November 18 for Cap Haitian, Haiti – the country’s second largest city in the north of the island nation and its 9 million people. They will be working in a variety of settings including Cowman Mission School, Bethesda Medical Clinic, 4VOH (Voice of Haiti) radio station, village evangelism and personal “one-on-one” with the children and people of Haiti. The group will return to Grundy Center on November 25. The team is gathering some items to take with them for personal distribution to the people of Haiti. “The simplest of items can have
the greatest impact in the poorest country in the Western hemisphere,” Dicks said. School supplies are needed, or a list of specifically needed items or personal donations to help in the purchase of the items can be obtained from the Church Office of the Grundy Center United Methodist Church. Checks can also be made payable to “Grundy Center UM Church – HAITI.” All gifts are tax-deductible. For more information, please contact – Pastor Phil Dicks at 515-418-0807 or phildicks@gmail.com. The team is also extending an open invitation for persons to be a part of their prayer support team while they are in Haiti. Persons on the team will receive daily email updates from Haiti. “It’s a great firsthand way of being on the front line this Thanksgiving season and being part of something greater than ourselves,” Dicks said. “It’s Thanksgiving in a new and meaningful way.”

The children being treated at the hospital, much like Michael was, have the option to check out books, games, movies, and more while they are staying in the hospital. But that wasn’t all – a donation
from a school in Marshalltown produced another 10 boxes full of books, providing the family with a total of 18 totes full of donated books for the children being treated at the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital.

Midwest Computer Center, Inc., has installed a National Cash Register 500 computer system in the downtown Grundy Center office of H. A. Merfens Associates, which it expects to put in operation about December 1. Midwest Computer Executives announced this week the NCR 500 computer will be used initially to process Farmers Savings Bank’s daily deposit and check transactions, plus Grundy County REC’s line billing, in addition to H. A. Mertens Associates accounts. Two other central Iowa banks are considering using the local computer service, and other accounts will be added in the future, they said. “FANTASTIC!“ That is the word Grundy County Extension Director Wayne Halstead used this week to describe the county’s 1966 corn yield — now forecast at an almost unbelievable 105 bushels to the acre, up nine bushels from 96 bushels originally set in The Grundy Register’s annual fall crop report issued September 1. Although everyone has suspected that this year’s county corn yield will top the magic 100 bushel mark for the first time—a suspicion based on unofficial report.- from farmers since the harvest begin two weeks ago—Halstead’s exclamation is based on official figures which have started to come into his office from the county corn yield contest. For instance, Harold Fogt & Sons of Reinbeck had a 10-acre contest plot which yielded 175 C bushels of No 2 corn to the acre And that is the net yield, after an allowance had been made for moisture content over 15’.

inbeck was broken into some time between Saturday night and Monday morning. The thieves cut a piece of glass out of the office door to make a hole large enough to put a hand through to release a latch from the inside. There is no safe in the Pioneer office. The thieves pried open one steel filing cabinet but found nothing of value there. One of the cabinets which had a small amount of money in it was not forced open. The thieves may have been scared away before they finished their job. During the same time between Saturday night and Monday morning thieves broke into the office of the Fanners Elevator Company at Dike. In attempting to open the safe they knocked off the dial but were unable to break through the safe door. There was nothing else in the office that interested the thieves and they left without taking anything of value. They had a very unprofitable night. They left no clue. Grundy was the lowest county in Iowa during the years 1939 and 1940 in aid given to the poor. According to the records released by the Iowa Taxpayers Association, Grundy county paid its poor who need help $18,958 and about the same amount during the past year. This was an average of $1.11 that each person in the county would have contributed to poor relief if money for the purpose would have been raised that way. The average per person cost for help to poor in the different counties in the state during the same time was more than double the average for Grundy county. In Webster county, which was high, each person’s portion of the help for the poor averaged $7.56 for a total of $349,680. There are three times as many people living in Webster county as there are in Grundy county. A five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Snyder was murdered when his throat was slashed with the blade of a safety razor by Lee Jordan, 23, an ex-convict at the reformatory at Anamosa. Mrs. Snyder, the child’s mother, was Helen McAlvin, daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. J. G. McAlvin, and former residents of Grundy Center. Helen McAlvin was born here. The Snyders live at Fulton, Illinois. The little son, Warren, had been missing from home since noon on Friday. Late in the afternoon when the child didn’t return, the police were notified, who with the help of a Boy Scout troop, found the child’s body on a vacant lot in thick underbrush at the edge of town. Someone had seen Jordan with the child and he was arrested. Jordan denied knowledge of the crime during four hours of question, until he was confronted with a piece of broken pencil. The bit of pencil had been found beside the boy’s body where it had fallen from the slayer’s pocket. In Jordan’s pocket, police found another piece which fitted the one found at the scene of the crime. “That broke the case,” the sheriff said, “and he confessed.” Jordan is described as a “medium sized, good looking fellow,” and admitted luring the boy into the vacant lot about 1:30 p. m. He killed the child because “he was afraid he would tell on him.” The sheriff said Jordan had been released last summer from the Iowa men’s reformatory at Anamosa after serving part of a five-year term for attempted breaking and entering. He was acquitted last Oct. 21 after trial on a rape charge at Morrison, Illinois. “Sun Valley Serenade” starts its engagement on Sunday for three days at the Center Theatre.

By DAVID PIKE Special to The Grundy Register Leon Bockes passed away a week or two before his induction into the Hall of Fame. He was a strong all-around athlete in football, basketball, baseball and track. Dave Pike had the pleasure of calling Leon a month prior to his passing to get the background for his induction biography and said Leon had fun reminiscing about his career. Pike noted Bockes was truly humbled and honored to be elected to the Hall of Fame. A 1945 Grundy graduate, Leon was an end on defense and offense for those memorable Melvin Fritzel-coached teams in the mid1940s. At a time when most male Shown above is Leon Bockes. teachers were off to WW II, there was a real shortage of coaches. Leon remembers Melvin Fritzel, a Hall of Famer himself, had recently retired from coaching in college and was coaxed out of retirement to coach the Spartans in those war years. And he produced back-to-back undefeated seasons in 1943 and 1944 where the Spartans were 14-0-1. The Grundy gridiron team of those years featured players in addition to Bockes like Hall of Famer Max Appel, Bud Peterson, Kay Reynolds, Max Smith, Lyle Heltibridle, Harry Borne, Hank Mol, Beverage Nickerson, Bill Kuhlman, and Vernon Feisner to mention a few. In 1943, Spartans only gave up two touchdowns, both in lopsided wins, while going 7-0 in their games. They played at the former football field next to the old junior high school, which was the high school back then. They outscored opponents 242-13, an average of over 34 points a game to less than two points a game for their victims. The Spartans had a strong offense led by Bud Peterson to go along with a stingy defense and Leon was a key part of both. Peterson personally scored 161 of the team’s 242 points. The next year, the fall of 1944, the Spartans held their opponents scoreless for the entire season. No team crossed their goal line. They were tied once that season in a scoreless first game of the year against Tama. And they had some tough games from Nevada and Teachers High School, but for the season, Coach Fritzel’s team outscored the opposition 186-0! Of course, Leon Bockes was in the middle of it both seasons as one of the defensive and offensive ends. Leon specifically remembers one tough game against Ackley his junior year with game still scoreless and the ball on the 40 yard line. Bud Peterson was calling signals in the huddle. They had a pass play called 17-L, but in the huddle, Peterson just said to Leon, “Go straight down and cut left. Be down by the English Room window and I’ll throw it to you.” Leon did what he was told and saw the ball soar toward him while being closely covered. As it came down, he wasn’t sure he could reach it. But Bockes jumped and caught the ball while being immediately hit by the Ackley defender in the end zone. Leon held onto the ball to score the winning points on a 40 yard touchdown pass reception. Shown in photo left to right, Sadie Coach Fritzel must have been pretty confident with the teams those two counselor years because Leon remembers that Fritz loved to duck hunt. One time on opening day of the duck season, Melvin announced that if he wasn’t back in time for the beginning of practice, to go ahead and start without him. And they did. They just finished calisthenics when Fritz showed up. Leon also noted another thing that made them good was they were alReinbeck American Legion Auxlowed to scrimmage against alumni.
