Washington Street project nears completion By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – The project was a long time in planning, but once it got under way it moved along smoothly, and city hall says now that the total re-do of several blocks of South Washington Street will wind up the summer construction season with everything – and more than expected – in the books. Crews will likely not get all the sidewalk work done, but they
have gotten far more than had been anticipated. Paving should have the final details wrapped up in a couple of weeks, according to Eldora city manager Bruce Bierma. It was a project planned for 110 plus working days and expectations have all along been that the roadway itself would be completed by the end of the season. How much of the attendant sidewalk replacement work could be completed was never projected exactly, but the possibility
it might carry over into next spring had always been assumed. The project called for resurfacing several blocks from 14th Avenue to 20th Avenue. It comes at an estimated $1.9 million cost, most federally funded. The project has been one of the city’s bigger initiatives in the last couple of years. The heavily travelled access to the city will be repaved, with associated utilities and curb and gutter replaced.
The job included repositioning water and sewer lines, and stands to face property owners along the impacted area with substantial special assessments. The estimates are they should not run any higher than $20 a linear foot for the utilities, and $30 a linear foot for the curb and gutter. Again, city hall says that actual costs could be lower. The charges will be added to the property owners tax bills. Using special assessments to
cover portion of the costs of such projects is customary. The last time something similar was done in Eldora was with a host of sidewalk replacements and curb and gutter replacements along Edgington Avenue, and also in the downtown square area when the city was undertaking a complete re-do of the streets around the square. The project as a whole is being paid for – 80 percent of costs – by federal assistance. About ten percent
of the total project cost is being born by special assessment against the benefitting property owners, the city says. The work on Washington ties in with the wholesale paving replacement along Edgington Ave. The street is a major route for truck traffic coming through town, and particularly truck traffic for haulers associated with various ag and construction businesses on the south end of the community.
Hoffman and Rickels look back on supervisors race
By: Rob Maharry Staff writer ELDORA- In the lead-up to the vote last Tuesday, Republican Hardin County supervisor candidate BJ Hoffman knew that he had one major disadvantage—he hails from Whitten (pop. 149) and faced a well-known incumbent from Iowa Falls, Democrat Ronn Rickels—and one factor working in his favor: the fact that he was a Republican on the ballot on a night that the GOP won massive victories across the country, including the election of Donald Trump as the 45th president. The latter factor, combined with Hoffman’s hard work knocking on doors and meeting voters in Hardin County, carried him to an upset as he defeated Rickels with approximately 53.5 percent of the vote.

“I wasn’t surprised because I put the work in,” Hoffman said. “You can spend all the money on signs and bumper stickers, but you’ve got to knock on doors and you’ve got to get out in the communities. I knew it wasn’t going to be given to me, but if I did my due diligence, the reward would come my way.” Hoffman won in all but three of the voting precincts in Hardin County—not surprisingly, Rickels won both Iowa Falls precincts and Alden/Buckeye—and collected a total of 4,338 votes. While he didn’t outline specific disagreements between he and Rickels, Hoffman stressed that they differed on matters of fiscal policy, and when he takes office in January, he would like to implement more long-term financial planning
to ensure that purchases like motor graders and dump trucks for the secondary roads department do not place an undue burden on the county. He added that he would like to speak with the heads of all of the county departments to address needs, efficiency and long-term planning. He plans to hold listening sessions around the county before he takes office in January. “There are more rainy days than there are sun shiny days in government anymore,” Hoffman said. “What I want to really accomplish is opening dialogue on everything good that’s happening and everything we can improve on. There’s divide in our country and divide on the local level, and we can remedy some of the problems we have with simple dialogue.”
Detention Center expanding admin facilities by Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – The expansions going on at the Central Iowa Juvenile Detention Center here in Eldora will meet a couple of facilities needs. One is provide more garage space for the centers vehicles, and the other on the west wing will add an office area that is more directly accessible to the public who come to the center to conduct administrative and outpatient business, says Travis Walker with the center. The detention center is hub of a multiple-county service, which helps localities and jurisdictions with their youth detention needs. It helps the state separate youth offenders from adult offenders in the
judicial system. And the service’s web site indicates work reaches way beyond simple detention. It speaks to various youth evaluation programs, drug and alcohol testing, transportation services that might be required for detainees, home counseling, various tracking services and more. Full membership or affiliation involves a county board of supervisors initiating the agreement. CIJDC points out it is actually one of the largest wide ranging social service agencies for youth and families in the state of Iowa. The CIJDC was founded in 1993 under an interagency agreement and (continued on page 2)
Other issues he mentioned during an interview included working to reduce the prison population and assisting inmates with mental health issues as well as the controversial plan for a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) less than a mile from Pine Lake State Park. Hoffman said he believed that more dialogue and meetings with community members could have spurred a different outcome on the hog site, though he added that because of the DNR guidelines, the decision really didn’t fall on the supervisors. “Lance (Granzow), Renee (McClellan) and Ronn (Rickels) were portrayed to be the bad guys, and they weren’t. (We should) have the DNR and Farm Bureau come in,” he said. “This is how you do it.
You don’t have to agree to it, but put it on the table and let the people have ownership of the process.” For Rickels, a one-term incumbent and former teacher and coach in the Iowa Falls school district, the loss comes as a disappointment, but he plans to stay busy and continue his life of public service in the future. “I’d like to thank Hardin County citizens for electing me for the past four years, and a special thanks to everyone who helped in my campaign. I appreciate your support and kindness,” he said. “I felt honored to work as county supervisor and will miss working with our excellent county employees.” He went on to acknowledge that the national mood and disgust with the establishment probably contributed to his loss, especially
in a generally Republican leaning county. “It was a bad night to be on the ballot as a Democrat. There was a movement going on,” he said. “But I have absolutely no regrets.” Rickels is disappointed that he will not get to continue work on various projects around the county, including the Iowa River multi-purpose trail that runs from Steamboat Rock to Marshalltown, a new mental health program in local school districts that seeks to be more proactive in helping students who need treatment and the Hardin County Community Endowment Foundation. Hoffman will assume his position at the beginning of 2017, and as he joins Granzow and McClellan, all three of Hardin County’s supervisors will now be Republicans.

long located on the grounds of the State Training School. The center was formed with original member counties Story, Boone, Hardin, Hamilton, Webster and Calhoun. The next year a temporary site was opened at the State Training School. A month later the site was officially located on the grounds of the STS on the north side of highway 175. At that time it originally expanded to 10 beds and to 15 in 1996. It expanded further in
1997, and over the next few years it continued to add county members and affiliates. In 2007 a contract was awarded on a wholesale-new building project and in 2008 it relocated and opened a then 30 bed capacity state of art site in the Eldora industrial park. In 2013 a further plan of expansion was OK’d and then completed in early 2014. The latest work began in September and will carry over into next year before completion, according to Walker.

Another view on Memorial matter To the Editor: The members of the American Legion of Eldora greatly appreciate the efforts of the Veterans Memorial Committee. They worked long hours towards their goal. There were some errors in the letter they wrote to the editor published on Veterans Day to which we wanted to respond. We felt the group formed to support the veterans undeservedly blamed the local American Legion. It was the Legion’s position from the beginning that we should not be the ones initiating the effort. Veterans of the military are not ones to promote themselves. It was our

position that it was not our place to build a monument to ourselves. That requires a certain ego or self-importance that most of us do not have. There were members of the Legion who participated in the committee planning. As with any group, all members are not of a single mind. The most recurring feeling of the Legion members that have been expressed has been that the project was overpriced. Your letter said that you never asked for money. We were asked for money from the beginning. It has been rumored that the local Legion has hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars, we don’t. Often committees like this come up with options to present to the community. Sometimes simplicity is more beautiful than the complex. We realize the disappointment of disbanding the committee. If there are lessons to be learned, learn them. Goals can be adjusted. Try again another day. Thanks again to the committee for your efforts. For the membership, scott Hootman, adjutant Craig Froning walter sayer post 182 American Legion Eldora, IA

Tom Donald joins MEMBERS 1st board
ELDORA– November XX, 2016 – Eldora resident Tom Donald was elected to the Board of Directors at the 52nd Annual Meeting of MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union in September, and will also serve on the board’s Audit Committee. Three additional board members were reelected at the annual meeting: Candy Baker and Joel McAnulty both from Marshalltown, and Eugene Goodman from Ankeny. Tom is a CPA and owner of Dietz, Donald & Company, CPA’s. In his business, Tom works with large and small clients to solve problems and assists them in making a multitude of personal and business decisions, including forming and selling businesses, facilitating mergers, and more. Tom and his wife, Deb, have been residents of Eldora for many years. Deb, now retired, taught elementary school in Eldora for over thirty years. Their daughter, Megan and family live in Hawaii where she is currently assigned to Tripler Army Medical Center. Their son, Joe, works for the Hardin County Engineer as a
land surveyor and technical engineer assistant. Joe is also a member of the US Army Reserves and trains with his unit at Ft. Snelling, MN. When asked why he chose to run for the MEMBERS1st Board of Directors at this time, Tom explained, “I have seen a steady decline in the goods and services available to rural communities, and I believe the decline will accelerate without strong financial institutions.” “We are delighted to have Tom representing our rural locations,” said Janet Borer, CEO of MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union and a resident of New Providence. “The combination of his business skills and experience with rural Iowa will be an asset to the credit union and to the communities we serve.” Tom currently serves as a board member for the Eldora Children’s Center, and has served on the Eldora City Council and the Hardin County Pioneer Cemetery Commission as well serving on multiple boards over the years. The MEMBERS1st Eldora office is staffed by Julie Off, and the Iowa
Falls branch staff includes Sydney Knott, Dalia Gonzalez and Kayla Meyer.

Tigers battled on the gridiron
by Scott Bierle Sports Editor ELDORA- Despite a 3-6 record this past fall, the South Hardin football team went down battling. The Tigers dropped five decisions by 14 or less points and in four games the outcome was decided in the fourth quarter. “We competed in every game,” said South Hardin coach Barry Scott. “Four of the losses were a one possession game going into the fourth.” “The attitude and effort was very good, we just didn’t have the execution at key times on offense and defense,” he added. The list of tough losses started with an 11-7 setback to neighboring Grundy Center along with Class 2A, District 3 losses to Saydel, 2714; Dike-New Hartford, 23-13; West Marshall, 20-13 on Homecoming and Collins-Maxwell-Baxter, 2713. The sixth setback was 35-6 to Roland-Story. Dike-NH, the District 3 champion at 7-0, survived a feisty South Hardin while winning the other six district games by an average of 32 points. The Tigers’ wins were over South Hamilton, 7-0 in the season-opener, and in district play 38-19 over East Marshall and a wild double overtime, 36-35 over Aplington-Parkersburg to go 2-5. Scott pointed out the AplingtonParkersburg and South Hamilton wins. “To beat A-P at Parkersburg is big, not many teams do that, and getting a shutout win against South Hamilton is very good. Shutouts are far and few between.” South Hardin started the season 1-0 as Hunter Nessa tallied the lone touchdown in the first quarter on a 13-yard run against South Hamilton. Knotted 21-all after regulation with A-P, a pair of Kolten Rewoldt to Kevin Rewoldt nine-yard touchdowns tosses were scored by the Tigers, who secured the victory with a defensive stand on the game deciding two-point conversion. The Tigers were outscored 197 to 149 on the fall and outside scoring 38 against East Marshall and 36 against A-P, were checked to 13 or

less points seven times. “We were one dimension at times and didn’t capitalize on big plays when needed,” noted Scott. South Hardin generated 1,899 yards with 1,347 coming on the ground compared to 552 passing. Senior running back Jeff Thompson had team-highs with 617 rushing yards and 50 points.

Junior Logan Spindler had 271 rushing yards to go with 131 receiving yards, and Nessa 199 rushing yards. Senior linebacker Dane Butler was among the state’s tackle leaders in Class 2A with a team-best 99, including 83 solos. The total tied for sixth with the 2A leader at 108.5.

Fifteen seniors suited for South Hardin this fall, including Thompson, Butler, Nessa, Cook, Aden Butler, Ryland Duchane, Eli Roe, Gustafson, Lane Reifschneider, Cody Houck, Stephen Paxton, Quinton Lake, Malcolm Wright, Brandon Meints and Jacob VanDePol. “The seniors did a good job of showing leadership and was a fun group to coach from start to finish,” said Scott. All-district honors for the Tigers were Butler, Lake, Cook and Ke. Rewoldt first-team; Gustafson and Thompson second-team, and Duchane and junior Jason Skartvedt honorable mention.
