Mister red white and blue

By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – Someday they’ll learn how to bottle the joy of life, and when they do you will probably be able to find a jar of it down that aisle where they sell everything else. Until then you can find it in your Eldora Newspapers and a picture to the right: Gene Foster beaming and waving his beloved Stars and Stripes. The reason we make a special point of remembering him here is precisely because he never failed to remember us at the newspaper. He took such pleasure in seeing to it we knew what was going on. Gene was a stream of story ideas. And he even featured himself in a few of them. A family member not long ago wrote me about a moment in Marshalltown when a complete stranger bought Gene lunch. It turned out he guessed Gene was a veteran. Something in his attire maybe. Gene would get enthused about

something and his first stop was always the newspaper. Several years ago he discovered a pile of limestone in the brush down by the Iowa River boat ramp. It was an outdoor oven buried in tangles, not quite a secret, but pretty close. Gene took one look at it and thought: Newspaper. The bakery was a little unusual in design; it bore a resemblance to an oven configuration common in Italy. And Gene knew, for a time during World War II, Italian prisoners of war had probably mixed with others at the POW camp up on the fairgrounds not far away. Gene did the deduction. Decided: Good enough. At least for the hometown newspaper. Our Italian visitors had constructed that oven, left it for us to remember them by, and it should be said so in print. It was. Not so long ago, Gene went down to a VA hospital in Iowa City or Des Moines for something incidental. Of

course, he came back to the paper with another story. It seems that the hospital had a long section of parking lot blocked off in front of the medical complex. When he walked up to check as to why, he encountered a large number of police and other officials gathered around a big suitcase in the lot. He asked what it was. A policeman told him the suitcase had been discovered outside the hospital that morning, packed full of human toes. Human Toes? Just full of them. “Well, can’t someone get someone to remove it?” Gene said he asked. Can’t, said the cop standing nearby. “We can’t find a toe truck.” That, of course, didn’t get in the paper. Until now. But, Gene was always pitching some story. And not just about veteran’s either. In fact, most of the stories he brought to us were about local history and lore. Particularly that

of New Providence and Lawn Hill where he grew up. Gene had the documentation to back things up, too. He clearly inherited his dad’s yen for collecting newspaper clippings, dates, facts, and figures, published accounts of huge snowstorms, and you name it. Gene also liked to tell about travelling the county when just out of school. He was part of a circus menagerie. The road show was full of odd creatures, and headlined by what he would always tell you was “the undisputed, biggest horse in the whole world.” Of course Gene will always be remembered here for service to fellow veterans and creating the annual Veterans Day commemorative in the local schools. Lots of children got their first up-close with the Stars and Stripes as a result of his inspiration. In recognition, the veterans organizations, the community and Hardin County lowered flags in observance of Gene’s passing. Naturally, someone ensured the newspaper got the story.

Summer in November By Rick Patrie News Editor AREA – Under the heading of “a lot more to talk about than to see” there was a very quick miniature version of your garden-variety summer storm front rumbling up out of the west this week, punctuated by sometimes-torrential rains, lots of dark clouds and a few minitornadoes. It all moved slowly across Hardin County around mid-day on Monday and got busier yet passing through Grundy and Butler Counties. Once the front passed here it was blue skies, balmy temperatures all over again, and far more signs of June than December in the air and the forecast.

But there was tornado damage on the northernmost edge of Radcliffe where authorities had been told a pickup truck was overturned and power lines downed, damage done to trees. Another tornado was sighted southwest of Buckeye. In Grundy county hail about pea size, was the main feature of the front. Accounts differed, but several said accumulation, though short lived, was enough to make travel on the streets tricky. There were no reports of injuries anywhere in the effected area. Weather services attributed the storm front and the sighting of funnel clouds to the unusual and unseasonable mix of warm moist air

with cool dry air across a large swath of Northeast Iowa. Weather watchers tracked reports of funnel clouds and tornado touchdowns in Hardin Grundy, Bremer and Butler Counties on Monday afternoon. There was a confirmed sighting near Parkersburg and reports that a handful of buildings were moved off their foundations in the northwest corner of town. That community, of course, was heavily damaged in a tornado even back in 2008. The sighting there was about 4 p.m. in the afternoon. The sighting south and west of Grundy Center was shortly after 1 p.m. and the sightings here in Hardin County around 1 p.m.

Looking toward December

By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – What might December have in store? If you wanted to prepare yourself mentally for the worst, then as far back as the reliable records go, December of 1983 seems to have been the most miserable on record,

weatherwize in Eldora. It had the coldest lows, the coldest highs, the coldest averages and it set the bar for shivering ever since. On December 30, 1983 the Eldora Newspaper was looking back at a “Christmas Postponed.” It surveyed the whole month of December 1983 and declared it to

have been the coldest December in Hardin County history up to the moment. Wind chills on Christmas 77 degrees below zero. And they didn’t exaggerate. Today there are weather service records compiled by an outlet (continued on page 4)

(At the center of the picture) South and west from Grundy Center you can see the hint of a forming funnel cloud that was confirmed in Grundy County. A storm right out of a summer afternoon moved through the area dishing up a little bit of everything – except winter.

City wrestles with ambulance issue A third alternative surfaces

By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – The couple-monthold-debate about a future home for the Eldora ambulance service took a surprise turn Monday night when members of the city council got first word of a proposal which

could have the city relocate the EMS headquarters and garages into a large, vacated privately-owned facility on the south edge of town. The prospect was new enough several member of the council had to clarify just which building was being offered for sale. It is the old

home to Greenbelt Transport, just north of the Masonic Lodge if you need a vantage point. The one-time truck maintenance center, everyone agrees, is much larger than what the ambulance service would need, but at the same time it promises plenty of room

to accommodate more garaging space for the emergency vehicles, plus everything else that the crew requires to maintain a round the clock emergency response team on site – and accommodate storage and training. The city has for a couple of months

been eyeing prospective building sites around Eldora, with intentions to construct an all new home for the center. The city’s involvement in the project would involve sponsoring a revenue bond backing loan funds

Eldora wrestles with ambulance issue (continued from page 1)

for the construction. Right now the newest ambulance vehicles coming on the market are almost too large to fit in the current garaging site out at the Eldora Medical Center building (the old city hospital complex.) One of the vehicles doesn’t fit at all and is parked off site. Since word came out that the city was eyeing the project, the council has received at least one suggestion from a private citizen, calling for remolding and enlargement of the existing service site out at the hospital. Now comes the third possible alternative involving an existing building on the south side of town. With the new issue before the council, member’s went ahead with the initial work on a loan application to the USDA – which would fund any of the alternatives eventually chosen. The request was for $1.75 million. The project is not obligated simply by the filing Monday night, and the expectation is there will be considerable more discussion before any option is chosen, but USDA officials encouraged the city council to apply now because it is generally anticipated that borrowing costs will be going up soon. Some questions were raised about the efficacy of the south side proposal, some about the large unused space it would entail, and also came concerns about whether the site’s one time use as a vehicle maintenance center might have left some residual site chemical contamination. But it was generally agreed the idea deserved study, and the council gave

Site proposed for new ambulance (EMS) center the OK to its consulting engineer to tour the center and report back by months end. Meanwhile the city administration reported back with a needs and resources assessment addressing the city ambulance service. The ambulance service has been conspicuous in recent years in that, though it bears the city’s name, it is actually a self-supporting public project, depending on its own revenues and income stream to fund the crews and the operations. Within the assessment was a suggestion that the city someday consider the possibility of lending taxpayer support to the enterprise for the first time in years. The suggestion came in the contest of what the city might do to cushion the financial draw on the service (in the event it does actually go ahead and borrow the money to complete one of the alternative projects.)

One suggestion had been than the city take over the costs of standard fringe benefits, maybe to include insurance, social security and the like. The town’s financial consultant at Monday nights meeting said that the practice is actually common, and that Eldora history of having the service completely self-supporting, though not unheard of, is unusual among Iowa municipalities. The mere possibility of taxpayer support for the service did prompt several questions during Monday nights meeting. Although the city’s consultant said the Eldora service’s financial condition ranks quite high among other communities, city council members Melody Hoy and Robert John had misgivings about asking taxpayers to pitch in on the service. Hoy wondered that, though the service has been growing significantly, there was no guarantee

its costs to operate wouldn’t some day grow faster. Meanwhile, city EMS head Corey Larson told the council the south side proposal was new enough he couldn’t make an assessment, but he said he was not necessarily against it at the same time. Larson had, on the other hand, been cool to that earlier second alternative which would have had a new ambulance garage constructed out at the old hospital site, and more remolding done within the old mothballed hospital to accommodate the service. In general council members Jack Brekke, Dave Mitchell and Cindy Johns were most sanguine about moving ahead with the project. Members John and Hoy raised the most concerns that the city not obligate itself to a long term project without first ensuring that the future income of the ambulance service

Call 939-5051 with all news and ads

would be able to cover all the bond redemption costs. One curiosity that did come up during the meeting was the fact that, though the service is rolling along quite well financially; it could be even more flush if users of the service would simply pay their bills.

Larson noted that the service only receives payment for about half what it bills for its service. It is in the nature of emergency services, he said.

His chubby, white, smiling face has also been used for other brands such as Geico, Sprint and Got Milk. He has performed as a dancer, singer, artist and has other talents such as playing the harmonica, accordion, bugle and violin. In 1972 a 7” vinyl doll was created that became a fast selling toy. Other family members were created along with a playhouse. In 2009 the Pillsbury doughboy became a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day balloon. He has been a mascot for many cooking contests and has been a helper and friend to cooks everywhere. Respectfully submitted, Lora Kramer Secretary

Looking forward to what December offers (continued from page 1) called Weather Warehouse, which furnishes information to government and business. And you can go as far back as 1957 for comprehensive data. Records include everything from the lowest twenty-four hour temperature in Eldora (during a December), to the daily high for any December, to the warmest minimum temperature, the coldest maximum temperature, and average minimum throughout the all the Decembers. Check the records and there it is – December of 1983 – over and over and over, the coldest of all Eldora’s many Decembers. The lowest recorded temperature during December 1983 was a minus 23, and that is the lowest Eldora December temperature going clear back into the Fifties. The high for the whole month was 34 during December 1983 – again the lowest high of any December since the 50s. Meanwhile, the warmest low temperature for any December on record here was 26, once more the coldest reading of its kind in all the Decembers dating back to the 50s. The worst day had to have been one in December of 1983 when the high for the day was just a minus 15. If you averaged all the highs in December 1983 you would come up with a still bone chilling cold 15.7 degrees. And if you averaged the lows from 1983 in December they wouldn’t get beyond a minus 2.3. As for the Christmas Eve blizzard, then newspaper editor Virginia Stiles wrote that there weren’t any dramatic rescues to report around the county, precisely because everyone was smart enough to stay home.

Churches that tried to tough it out found pews all but empty. Weather forecasters had given everyone plenty of warning. Roads across the whole state were impassable but also empty. Three young women from Zearing had to be plucked from the blizzard, but people in Eldora pretty much hunkered down. On Christmas Day, volunteers – out afoot – showed up at Dorothy’s Senior Center to serve a holiday meal to almost 70. If you are looking at the long term 2015 December forecast between now and the New Year, consider this as a possibility – the run of temperatures from the paper of December 30, 1983: Stiles rounded out the weather for December: “Since Thursday, December 22, the highs ranged from a minus seven on Thursday to a minus 15 on Friday, a minus 11 on Saturday, five degrees on Sunday, 18 on Monday and Tuesday and nine on Wednesday. Remember, that was the highs. The lows were minus 20, minus 23 on Friday, minus 20 on Saturday, minus 10 on Sunday, and 3 on Monday and Tuesday and 8 on Wednesday. Then on December 29 the low plummeted to minus 7.”

Public Record Flashback Friday

Taking a look back at local history from previous editions of the Eldora Newspapers. Compiled by Rob Maharry. Five years ago this week-2011 • If it can be agreed to, that troublesome house next door to the new county emergency operations center will be moving on—the house only— as county supervisors now hope the home can be sold and the lot it sets on retained. Supervisors have moved to pursue a possible offer to that effect, judging the county will have use for the vacant lot, even as the city of Eldora has plans for the house. Eldora thinks it has a party interested in obtaining the house and moving it into one of the several city-owned lots, which have been cleared and readied for new tax structures—and for return to the tax rolls. • It did in fact come down to some very precise math, the placement of a decimal point and nearly four hours of recounting, then a final run through that took place at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday. And finally, finally, the suspense broke. Ellsworth Hospital had received the voters’ approval by the slimmest of margins, but nonetheless the full 60 percent favorable. And because so, it can now enlist the county’s co-signature on a new hospital re-building project on the south edge of Iowa Falls. The decision came after close to three years of informational meetings with groups throughout the county. • The Eldora city council and the E-NP school board held a rare joint session Monday night, and the big news that came out of it was word that the city of Eldora is definitely getting out of the daycare service. One way or another, the issue to end all Eldora issues—almost 10 years running—is coming to an end. Of course, the reservoir of hard feelings about the project couldn’t empty in one night. Longtime opponents of the daycare weren’t happy with the city’s proposal for disengagement. They worried that a transition and transactions moving the daycare off the city books could involve some tax dollars flowing to the center while dissolution was being completed. 10 years ago this week-2006 • The expectation is that bids will be opened on December 20 for the new Central Iowa Juvenile Detention Center facility in Eldora. The project has run into a couple of roadblocks in its planning, the latest of which came up when it was discovered that the intergovernmental agreement between the counties involved in the center did not specifically grant the district power to purchase property for the building project. With that discovery, the 28E agreement forming the 16 county agency was quickly rewritten and is now working its way toward approval. That approval came in Hardin County last week as the county board of supervisors okayed the new draft. • Considering the importance of the decisions, it has proven a remarkably steady and compromiserich process fleshing out all the details involved in making a reality of the whole grade sharing between the E-NP and Hubbard-Radcliffe schools. As various study commit-

tees continue working on the details, it now appears at least one will be advancing a proposal before both school boards during their December meetings, in it splitting some differences on color schemes and team mascots affected by the extracurricular portion of the sharing agreement. And the emphasis appears to be on—whenever possible—bringing most of the changes into the mix gradually so that the schools can for the most part stick to what are normal five-year rotations on replacement of uniform stocks. Other changes to fixtures in the school, which tie into the color scheme and school symbols, will be adjusted gradually too, much of that with an eye toward cutting the costs of implementing the agreement. 25 years ago this week- 1991 • A group of persons who are interested in beginning a countywide taxpayers association met at the Jackson Township Hall Wednesday night. Mike Ralston, former mayor of Grundy Center and now director of the Polk-Des Moines Taxpayers Association, met with the group of 17 persons to discuss the procedure for organizing a similar association for Hardin County. “The goal of our association is to provide objective information to citizens and public officials so that public policy decisions can be made on an informal basis,” Ralston said. The Polk County group is primarily business-oriented, supported by corporations, but it does have individual members as well, Ralston said. “Our members control our group. We have three people on the staff, but the members make the actual decisions.” • The conflict between the Hardin County Solid Waste Disposal Commission and the Heartland Recycling Company of Iowa Falls continued at the regular meeting Monday night of the commission. As the session opened, chairman A.E. Shepherd of Eldora said he felt the issue concerning a conflict of interest on the part of the Iowa Falls representative had not been resolved and turned the discussion over to the commission’s attorney, Rick Dunn. At a special meeting earlier this month, Shepherd had noted that because the city of Iowa Falls had loaned Heartland Recycling Company $250,000 that Frankie Tjarks, who is the representative from Iowa Falls on the commission, might be acting under a conflict of interest. Tjarks also serves on the Iowa Falls City Council, which approved the loan to Heartland. 50 years ago this week- 1966 • Work is progressing on schedule at the new shop and office building for the Pine Lake Saw Mill. The new all-steel building is going up on the north side of Highway 57, a quarter mile east of the Iowa River Bridge. Completion of steel work was scheduled for this weekend with placement of colored metal sheets on the exterior planned immediately. The 80x100 foot structure will be similar to the new Risse-Miller plant. • The town of Eldora was sprayed with a DDT solution Wednesday by the Omni-Flight Helicopter service of Janesville, Wisconsin, for the purpose of killing Dutch Elm disease beetles. Areas of the city not covered Wednesday are scheduled to be worked this week.

disaster relief Matt Kuecker, Steve Brunk, Issac Beck Brunk and Lyle Neher spent the week of November 14th in Detroit, Michigan doing disaster flood relief work. In 2014 a flood backed up sewer water into the basements of over 1,200 homes. Furnaces, hot water heaters and often washers and dryers were ruined. Finished basements had to have dry wall and or paneling removed and the walls cleaned and water proof paint applied. A total of 12 people volunteered for the week from the Northern Plains District.

system, lagoon and lift station are located in the floodplain so the location cannot be avoided. all required flood plain permits will be secured prior to the start of construction. The City of Union has reevaluated alternatives to the project and has determined that it has no practicable alternative. environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, are available for public inspection, review and copying upon request at the times and location delineated in the last paragraph of this notice for receipt of comments. This activity will have no significant impact on the environment because the project involves the rehabilitation of existing sewer system components. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains or wetlands and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains and wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains or wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by the City of Union at the following address on or before December 19, 2016: City of Union, 308 Center Street, and 641-486-2302, attention: Kristi Schiebel, City Clerk.

FINaL NOTICe aND PUBLIC eXPLaNaTION OF a PROPOSeD aCTIVITY IN a FLOODPLaIN OR WeTLaND This is to give notice that the City of Union has conducted an evaluation as required by executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management, to determine the potential affect that its activity in the floodplain and wetland will have on the human environment for a CDBg Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project (#16-WS-019). The proposed project is located in various locations in the collection system and at the City’s lagoon and lift station in Union, Hardin County, Iowa. The proposed project involves improvements to the City’s sanitary sewer system. Improvements include the lining of sewer collection lines, and lagoon and lift station improvements. Portions of the proposed project are located within a 100-year floodplain. The need for the proposed project was identified by the DNR who noted in an inspection report that I/I is a significant problem in the sanitary sewer collection system. The City of Union has considered alternatives and mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values. There are no practicable alternatives to locating the project in a floodplain. The targeted project involves modifications to an existing sanitary sewer system that serves a developed community of 397 people. a portion of the collection

Comets tumble to a-p

Iowa’s shotgun deer season starts Saturday DES MOINES- The first of Iowa’s popular shotgun deer seasons is December 3-7 when an expected 75,000 orange clad hunters head to the timber. That group will be followed by 50,000 hunters who prefer the December 10-18 second gun season. Each contingent will also pack along thousands of antlerless tags, to extend their time in the field. Fans of cold weather purchase about 40,000 tags for the December 19-January 10 late muzzleloader season. Iowa’s shotgun seasons allow for group drives; drivers pushing deer towards blockers. Anyone in the group may tag a downed deer – with their own tag. That stands in contrast to other states – and even Iowa’s more solitary muzzleloader and bow seasons. However, it has proven to be an efficient method for taking deer, since modern deer hunting was introduced here in the early 1950s. Whatever the season, any deer must be tagged before it is moved or within 15 minutes – whichever comes first. It also holds the potential for danger, as drivers move closer to, or across, their friends on the drive. That’s why wearing solid blaze orange is mandatory. The minimum amount covers a hunter’s torso. But more is better. For several years now, deer hunters have noticed fewer whitetails than in the early 2000s. That is by design. A decade ago, state lawmakers instructed the DNR to reduce the deer population, after steady growth through the previous few decades. With addition of county and season specific antlerless tags, generous quotas and a couple extra seasons, near Thanksgiving and during January, hunters responded. Adaptive regulation changes have lowered the deer herd to mid-1990s target levels, in all but a handful of counties. Hunters in 27 north central and

northwest counties have no county antlerless tags and may take only antlered deer during the first shotgun season. Iowa’s overall deer harvest across all seasons last year was 105,401, down 30 percent from the 2006 peak and the 2016 harvest should be similar. The 2014 harvest was estimated at 101,595. “Now is a good time for the DNR to work with hunters and landowners to help develop a better understanding of proper deer management; including the benefits of harvesting does and keeping deer numbers at ecologically acceptable levels,” stresses Andrew Norton, state deer biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. “Hunters working with landowners at the local level are the best and most efficient way to keep deer numbers acceptable and provide a high quality deer herd.”

Report harvest DES MOINES- Your deer is down, tagged and on its way to the truck. Your harvest is not complete, through, until you register it; online, over the phone or at a license vender. For hunters who have registered deer for years, there is no change. Online, it takes a couple minutes. Go to www.iowadnr.gov and click on the ‘Hunting’ tab, then on ‘Reporting Your Harvest’ and follow instructions. Be ready to enter your tag’s nine-digit harvest report number. By phone? Call 800-771-4692. The deer should be reported by the hunter whose name is on the tag… and it must come before midnight, the day after the deer is tagged. The harvest reporting system provides information much faster, and with more detail, than the previous, cumbersome postcard survey. This leads to more responsive management of deer populations; such as adjusting county by count tags or special zone hunt allotments.

Simpson JV defeats eagles

INDIANOLA- The Quakerdale Prep basketball team dropped an 82-67 decision to the Simpson JV here Monday. The Eagles’ scoring column had three in double figures led by 19 points for Antoine Divine followed by Chris Porter 17 and Chase White 11. Divine was 10-of-13 on free throws and White hit three treys. Mahrion Butler chipped in nine points for Quakerdale with Myles Thomas eight, Naa’il Mahdi two and Cole Barton one.

Cougars tip-off cage campaign with sweep by Scott Bierle Sports Editor ACKLEY- Season opening wins were earned by the AGWSR girls’ and boys’ basketball teams, sweeping northern neighbor Hampton-Dumont here Tuesday. The 10th-ranked in Class 1A AGWSR girls were a 56-35 winner and the Cougars turned back the Bulldogs, 51-39. 13 TREYS FOR AGWSR GIRLS The AGWSR girls had the touch from three-point territory and buried 13 of the long balls in the 21-point victory. The 13 threes were made in just 19 attempts. Mandy Willems led the Cougars bombing with five three-point goals followed by three each for Maddie Brandt and Aubrie Fisher, and two for Alana Groninga. Brandt and H-D’s Carrie Miller shared game-high scoring honors at 16 points as Miller made three of the visitor’s five triples. Willems was one back at 15 points and Fisher had 13. The Bulldogs owned the lead after one quarter at 10-7 when the Cougars uncorked a 21-point second and led 28-24 at the break. AGWSR then outscored the visitors 28-11 in the second half. “We had too many turnovers and our free throw percentage were two areas that we will continue to work

on improving. Hampton was very quick and scrappy, and forced us into mistakes,” said AGWSR coach Laurie Gann. “However, we battled through it and was able to get our offense going and knock down shots. It was a quality win against a quality 3A program,” Gann added. Groninga added eight assists to her six points and Rachel Sicard led the board work with seven rebounds. Brandt booked six rebounds, four assists and three steals, and Willems had six steals, five rebounds and four assists. Scoring by Quarters: Hampton-Dumont 10 14 5 6 -35 AGWSR 7 21 11 17 -56 agWSR scoring – Maddie Brandt 16, Mandy Willems 15, aubrie Fisher 13, alana groninga 6, Taryan Barrick 4, addi Johnson 1, Mariah Jimmerson 1. Three-point goals: Willems 5, Brandt 3, Fisher 3, groninga 2.

COUGARS WIN OPENER A strong start sparked the AGWSR boys against Hampton-Dumont in the nightcap. The Cougars had the visitors doubled after one period, 16-8 and were up by double-digits at halftime, 29-16. “It was the first game and it was ragged. We just had no offensive flow. We had good looks and just didn’t make them. Offensively, we

left a lot of points out there,” said AGWSR coach Russ Banzhaf. Alex Hames led a balanced Cougars’ scoring column at 12 points with 11 for Mason Eilderts, eight each for Jay Janssen and Caleb Bartling, and seven or Aaron Roelfs. The final five were by Ethan Ubben. Hames and Janssen had two threeballs with a dozen rebounds for Janssen. “On the positive side our free throw shooting was good and the defense was solid,” noted Banzhaf. The Cougars limited H-D to eight points each in the first three quarters. The Bulldogs’ Logan Gooder tallied a game-high 16 points with nine for Justin Kent on three triples. AGWSR owned a 16-point advantage at the charity stripe, hitting 19-of-25 free throws to the visitor’s 3-of-10. The AGWSR cagers open NICL West play tonight (Friday) against rival Grundy Center in Ackley. The Cougars then travel to Conrad Tuesday to play BCLUW. Scoring by Quarters: Hampton-Dumont 8 8 8 15 -39 AGWSR 16 13 7 15 -51 agWSR scoring – alex Hames 12, Mason eilderts 11, Jay Janssen 8, Caleb Bartling 8, aaron Roelfs 7, ethan Ubben 5. Three-point goals: Hames 2, Janssen 2, Bartling 1, Roelfs 1.

COMETS DROP OPENER Opening night jitters dug a deep hole and the BCLUW boys never recovered in the season-opening loss to Aplington-Parkersburg. The Falcons soared to a 22-9 advantage after one quarter and maintained a double-digit cushion throughout. The Comets held their own over the final 24-minutes, winning the three quarters, 42-39. “We had a rough first quarter, but we came back and played a good three quarters after that. We had some kids playing with little to no experience at this level,” said BCLUW coach Luke Higgins. “By the end of the game I can say I am looking forward to the season,” added Higgins. Troy Dolphin led a five-cager attack for BCLUW at 14 points. Blake Mann scored 10 points, Clay Silver nine, Jack Garber eight with two three-pointers, and Logan Mann seven. A game-high 23 points by Cade Alberts led the Falcons as he sank 5-of-8 three-point goals. Carter Cuvelier chipped in 11 points. The BCLUW teams meet South Hardin in Eldora tonight (Friday), the girls play Sumner-Fredericksburg Saturday at Wartburg College in Waverly at 1 p.m. and Tuesday both teams are back in Conrad to battle AGWSR.

halftime edge. The visitors followed that with 11 points in the third and 15 in the fourth. “We stepped up our defense and that really got the offense going. We ran the court well and that gave us some scoring opportunities,” South Hardin coach Matt Thompson stated. The Tigers banged the backboard as Nelson collected seven rebounds with six each for Teske, Gourley and Priske, while Harrell dished seven assists and had six steals along with Teske. C-G’s Hannah Terhark tallied 14 points for game-high honors with eight for teammates Chloe Johnson and Megan Askelsen.

TOUGH TIME SCORING The South Hardin boys had a tough-time scoring, netting just four points in the first quarter and two in the third. Down 9-4 after one quarter, the Tigers (0-2) clawed back to within one at 21-20 at halftime and then let the Cowboys get away again, losing the third 12-2 and trailed 33-22.

“We just didn’t come to play. We had no energy and no execution on offense,” said South Hardin coach Adam Weig. Eight points led the South Hardin scoring by Jacob Vander Wilt, Ty Cook and Dane Butler. Ted Dunn added six on two three-balls. C-G’s Rhett Darland was the lone cager in double digits, scoring a

game-high 13 points. The hosts sank six three-point goals. Scoring by Quarters: South Hardin 4 16 2 12 -34 Clarion-Goldfield 9 12 12 13 -46 South Hardin scoring – Jacob Vander Wilt 8, Ty Cook 8, Dane Butler 8, Ted Dunn 6, Tyrell Todd 4. Three-point goals: Dunn 2.

Rewoldt pulled down 11 rebounds and Vander Wilt had five assists. “Experience was the difference. They had some guys that have been playing a long time and we are mixing some returners with several newcomers to this level,” South Hardin coach Adam Weig stated. “But we gave a great effort and we are only going to get better,” he added. Knotted 18-all at the six-minute mark of the second, Jesup took control with a quick 7-0 run and scored 13 of the next 17 points to open a 3122 advantage.

The third quarter was then a threepoint contest. Nine field goals were made in the eight-minutes and seven were three-balls with three for Schmit, while for the Tigers, Butler, Cook and Dunn drained triples.

Storm matmen flex at Quad showing

by Scott Bierle Sports Editor ELDORA- A parade of six matmen posted 3-0 records and propelled the South Hardin-BCLUW wrestling team to an impressive start to the season here Tuesday. The Storm captured the Quadrangular title, going 3-0 with wins over Turkey Valley, 72-9; Clarksville, 5718, and North Butler, 46-36. Unbeatens for SH-BCLUW were Ian Showers at 113-pounds, Coby Willett at 126, Josiah Dorow at 132, Owen Fuller at 182, Dylan Wenke at 195 and heavyweight Ryne Fuller. The Storm earned a dozen pins led by O. Fuller with three, including two in the first-period. Big brother R. Fuller and Willett collected two opening minute falls with one forfeit each, Dorow had a pin, win and forfeit and Showers and Wenke one fall and two forfeits apiece. Teammates with 2-1 showings were Taylor Kolthoff at 106-pounds, Hunter Allen at 120, Logan Gunderson at 152 and Ryland Duchane at 170. “For the first meet of the season it was a great showing for the Storm,” stated SH-BCLUW co-coach Stacy Simpson. “The kids went out on the mat and were aggressive. They were looking to score points. One thing we need to work on is conditioning; that has to get better,” he added. South Hardin-BCLUW fielded a full lineup of 14 matmen and were awarded 16 forfeits in the three duals with 10 coming in the opener against Turkey Valley. Along with the 60 points in forfeits against the Trojans, the Storm scored pins by Michael Fuller at 160-pounds in 1:10 and O. Fuller in 56-seconds. Three of TV’s nine points were scored by Cale Reicks with a 6-4 upset win over stateranked Duchane. SH-BCLUW also made quick

work against Clarksville with six first-period pins. Kolthoff led the fast falls with a pin in 30-seconds followed by Willett in 41-ticks, R. Fuller 45-seconds, Dorow 1:28, O. Fuller 1:38 and Wenke 1:49. The host’s seventh mat win was an 8-4 decision for Gunderson. The finale then matched SHBCLUW and North Butler, both 2-0. An unanswered 30 points by the Storm erased a quick two pins start for the Bearcats. A forfeit for Duchane started the run followed by a fall in 3:26 for O. Fuller, forfeits to Wenke and Caleb Engle at 220-pounds, and a pin in 20-seconds for R. Fuller. Showers and Willett followed with pins in 46 and 59-seconds, respectively, and Dorow earned a 12-4 major decision. North Butler scored wins of 45-30 over Clarksville and 66-12 over Turkey Valley, and Clarksville defeated Turkey Valley, 57-6. The South Hardin-BCLUW matmen go to the Gilbert Duals Saturday and Thursday (Dec. 8) travel to LaPorte City for conference duals with Union High and Jesup.

by Scott Bierle Sports Editor ELDORA- Visiting Jesup took two from the South Hardin girls’ and boys’ basketball teams here Monday during North Iowa Cedar League Conference cross-over contests here Monday. The South Hardin girls lost, 5645 while in the nightcap, the Tigers tumbled 61-48 to the J-Hawks during the two team’s season opener. SOUTH HARDIN GIRLS 0-2 The South Hardin girls slipped to 0-2 with the 11-point setback in the first game. Subpar shooting was costly as the Tigers connected on 31 percent from the field – going 17-of-55 and just 8-of-21 on free throws. “We are struggling on making shots. We have opportunities and are not finishing. We have the looks we want and are penetrating well,” said South Hardin coach Matt Thompson. “A lot of it is confidence right now for this team,” he added.

The Tigers scored the game’s first two baskets and never led again as Jesup closed the first quarter on a 12-2 run and owned a 22-15 halftime lead. The J-Hawks stretched the lead to 11 and then 12, 30-18 at the mid-way mark of the third quarter on a bucket by Emily Treptow. South Hardin answered with a 5-0 run and were within six, 34-28 on Danae Nelson’s three-point goal. Still down six after three periods, 38-32, Miquela Teske opened the fourth with a basket and the Tigers trailed by four. Jesup scored nine of the next 11 points and led 47-36 on a Payton Joblinske triple. Nina Priske’s 11 points led the South Hardin attack with nine for Paige Harrell and six each for Teske, Emma Gourley and Kiera Anderson. Teske collected six rebounds and five steals with seven boards for Hannah Tripp and five picks for Nelson. Scoring leaders for the J-Hawks were Jaima Tonne 15 points, Trep-

tow 13 and Annika Wall 12.
