Holstein council gives nod to countywide law agreement, appoints councilman by DEB LOGER The Holstein City Council gave authorization to Mayor Connie Ludvigson to sign the Ida County Public Safety and Communications Commission 28E agreement during its meeting Dec. 5. Prior to giving Ludvigson authorization to sign the agreement, the council and mayor reviewed the proposed agreement. Ludvigson reported Galva’s mayor indicated the supervisors should only get one vote versus three. The supervisors countered stating they cover three districts in the county, so each district should get a vote. Joel Wellendorf was appointed to fill a vacant council seat, which expires November 2017. Ludvigson presented the following updated list of committee assignments: finance and claims—Wellendorf and Bonnie Stevenson, pool and parks—Rodney Regennitter and Danny Gebers, utilities (water, sewer, cable TV)—Mary Gross and Gebers, streets and alleys (trees)—Regennitter and Wellendorf, administration and personnel—Gross and Stevenson, East Ridge Lot Sales/Fouts First Addition promotion—Wellendorf and Stevenson, mayor protem—Gross and alternate—Regennitter. Long Lines representative Bill Gaukel was present to discuss a memorandum of understanding for a new franchise agreement. The memorandum of understanding calls for a 25year franchise agreement, a 5 percent

franchise fee and quarterly financial reports submitted to the city. Gaukel said Long Lines’ goal is to provide a quality of life benefit (cable TV, phone and Internet service) for Holstein residents and support the economical demands of the community. Gaukel also said the company is working on areas in Holstein that aren’t currently provided Long Lines service. Gaukel was asked to provide three years of back financial records on the franchise fee. The council noted there are still issues with the Internet service. City Administrator Kay Hanson asked the council if it wants to keep the Don Breyfogle hazardous building on the agenda. Hanson commented that the options to address the situation are costly, and there are currently no funds available to proceed with either option. Hanson said, “Mr. Breyfogle came into my office to discuss the condition of his building at 125 N. Main St. He planned on installing an overhead door at the back entrance in November. Some of the rafters have been removed, and he is in the process of getting an estimate for the cost of replacing rafters and the roof. He has installed tin on the roof of the back part of the roof, where the rafters were still intact. He also said he was in the process of removing items from the building.” Hanson said she checked the building out over the weekend, and none of the work was done. Wellendorf said, at the least, he needs to block access to the building. After a brief discussion, the council directed Hanson to keep the nuisance on the agenda and contact Breyfogle and tell him to block access to the building. A motion was made, approving payment of 2016 mayor and council salaries. The council is paid annually in December. Each council member is

paid $30 per meeting attended. The mayor receives a quarterly stipend of $375, plus $30 per meeting attended. Hanson reported she is working with the city’s health insurance provider to find group insurance, which will offer comparable coverage with a minimal rate increase. The city was notified last month that its current insurance plan renewal rates for 2017 would increase 47 percent. Pay request number six in the amount of $26,875 for L&L Builders for the maintenance shed was approved. I&S Group architect Tom Grafft reviewed the status of the punch list for the maintenance shed. Grafft noted substantial completion of the building was approved Dec. 1, and $30,398 remains in retainage to finish the work. Councilman Regennitter talked about assessing liquidated damages to L&L Builders, as the substantial completion date was originally July 28. He said the city had to pay $1,200 per month for rental storage, due to the delay. Grafft said L&L Builders spent an additional $4,000 to $5,000 for rock to stabilize the soil, and it was probably a wash. No decision was made to proceed with liquidated damages. The council gave its support for Donna Bremer to submit an Ida County Community Betterment Foundation Grant application for the pool. Bremer told the council she would like to have a frame shelter/roof erected to cover the 10x32 cement slab by the pool and place a couple picnic tables in the shelter area. The project could possibly be an Eagle Scout project for one of the Boy Scouts. Hanson advised the council of a community-wide strategic plan meeting Dec. 8 in the high school commons. She reviewed the 2014 plan and noted it was time to update it. Budget meeting dates were discussed. The next regular council meeting is Tuesday, Jan. 3, at 5:30 p.m.

Medication drop box available at courthouse Ida County Sheriff Wade Harriman announced Dec. 8, the placement of a permanent medication drop box located at the entrance to the sheriff’s office at the Ida County Courthouse in Ida Grove. Sheriff Harriman said the drop box is made possible through a small grant from the Governor’s Office of Drug Control Policy to address the increasing problem of prescription drug abuse. The drop box is accessible to the public 24/ seven. “I am very happy to be able to

provide this convenient drop box to the citizens of Ida County. The dangers of unused prescription medication is real, and this is a great way for the sheriff’s office to provide a safe manner for Ida County residents to dispose of those medications,” said Sheriff

Harriman. Steve Lukan, director of the Governor’s Office of Drug Control Policy said “his office is pleased to partner with the Ida County Sheriff’s Office in providing citizens a secure and environmental(continued on page 2)

. . . medication box (continued from front page) ly responsible option to dispose of unused prescription drugs, thus preventing their potential diversion and abuse. Lukan added, “Most prescription drugs that are abused come from friends and family, so cleaning out medicine cabinets can save lives.” Prescription drug abuse is Iowa’s fastest growing form of substance abuse and in addition to powerful pain relievers is also fueling more heroin use. Prescription pain pills and heroin are both opioid drugs. The combination is contributing to an increase in opioid-related overdose deaths in Iowa and the U.S. According to Sheriff Harriman, “Many people become addicted to prescription drugs because they started using a family member’s leftover prescriptions. Once addicted some of these individuals may then eventually move to her-

oin to fulfill that addiction.” Additional information on prescription drug abuse/opioid abuse and properly disposing of unused medication can be found at: https://odcp.iowa.gov/rxotc, https://odcp.iowa.gov/rxtakebacks or https://odcp.iowa.gov/ rxbrochure. “This program is one more example of how the sheriff’s office is committed to being an organization focused on serving our citizens,” Harriman said. Citizens wishing to utilize the medication drop box are asked to place all medications in sealed nonbreakable containers and are requested to not include any “sharps” (syringes or lancets) or any other item that could cause injury to the sheriff’s officer staff servicing the drop box. For more information contact Sheriff Wade Harriman at 712364-3146.

Horn Memorial Hospital construction on track Work continues on Horn Memorial’s 13,000-square foot inpatient addition that will provide modernization, all private rooms and private bathrooms/showers. In early December the foundation, basement and footings were completed and the project transitioned to above ground to where progress is more visible. Steel columns will all be set by mid-December and the goal is for the building to be enclosed with a roof by the

end of December. The building is set to be completed by July. When completed, there will be a transition of patients and staff into the new unit followed by demolition of the north wing that is currently being used for inpatient care. After demolition of this original wing, work will start on the outdoor courtyard that will feature walking paths, outdoor seating and dining areas, two fountains and a landscaping plan. This

Looking Back Forty years ago The Ida County Compensation Board may have to break a twotwo deadlock vote when they meet Wednesday in the Ida Grove City Council chambers. The board must set salaries for Ida County’s elected officials before the end of the year. If they don’t reach an agreement next Wednesday, they will have only a week left to work out their differences. Board chairman Pete Nielsen said he still thinks all county officials deserve a raise. Reverend Richard Oehring, pastor at the Galva Methodist Church, likes to compare his children’s sermons to a television commercial for Lifesavers candy. In that commercial, a fidgety child is given a candy to calm him down in church. And, because he wants children to take part in the services, Pastor Oehring has decided to include fun methods, including magic tricks, to entertain those children during his services. Thirty years ago The G-H School Board got an overview of changes in Iowa education likely to take place by 1989 during its regular meeting last Wednesday. Superintendent Bill Kruse said the Iowa Legislature is gearing up for some drastic changes to improve the economic stability of public schools. Kruse

reported schools will be given until 1989 to comply with the new standards in order to remain accredited and receive state and federal funding. Galva and Holstein are gearing up for their annual Christmas celebrations. In Galva, the Booster Club is sponsoring activities on Dec. 20, including a movie for kids at the Galva Library, followed with Santa Claus stopping to meet kids and hand out candy. In Holstein, merchants are distributing “auction bucks” for every $5 spent through Dec. 20 as part of their Christmas promotion. Twenty years ago Voters in all five communities in Ida County and the unincorporated (rural) areas will vote on a 1 percent local option sales tax next Tuesday, Dec. 17. The election to impose a local option sales tax is countywide, but each community and rural area will vote on separate ballot issues, because each public entity requesting the tax must state on the ballot what the money will be used for, if the tax issue is approved. The main topic at the Galva City Council meeting Monday was the 1997-98 budget. Representatives of the library board presented the library’s proposed budget, reflecting an increase of $479. Areas showing increases were 3 THE

percent salary increases, FICA, IPERS, workers’ compensation and utilities. Ten years ago The G-H dance team received a Division I rating and a firstplace trophy for its hoopla routine, a Division I rating and first-place trophy for its novelty routine, a Division I rating for its military routine and an Academic Distinguished Achievement Award at the 32nd annual Iowa State Dance and Drill Team Championships Dec. 1-2 in Des Moines. Some 5,000 dancers participated in this year’s state contest. The G-H School Board approved extracurricular contracts, early graduation requests and extra class pay on Monday. The board also discussed a petition from middle school students, asking that the middle school name be changed from the Devils to the Pirates. Middle School Principal Mike Richard presented the petition from 48 middle school students, asking to be changed from the Devils mascot to Pirates. The board will discuss the request at its Jan. 8 meeting, so the public can have input on the decision.

Iowa Finance Authority awards more than $6.2 million for housing initiatives The Iowa Finance Authority Board of Directors approved a total of more than $6.2 million in grants to 25 local housing trust funds to support local affordable housing initiatives, which will assist 2,326 Iowa families. The funding is provided from the State Housing Trust Fund’s Local Housing Trust Fund program. Western Iowa Community Improvement Regional Housing Trust Fund, serving Cherokee, Ida, Monona, Plymouth and Woodbury (excluding the city of Sioux City) Counties, was awarded $233,810. The grant funds will be used for initiatives such preserving aging housing stock, subsidizing local down payment assistance programs, providing low-interest loans or grants to assist Iowans in home rehabilitation, financing

construction of new single-family housing for low-income Iowans and supporting housing for persons with disabilities and homeless assistance programs. The State Housing Trust Fund was created by the Iowa Legislature in 2003. Since its inception,

the program has provided $56.4 million in affordable housing assistance that has benefited more than 20,300 Iowa families. This funding has leveraged another $153.2 million in other funds or $2.44 for every dollar of State Housing Trust Fund investment.

Mid-Sioux offers heating assistance Mid-Sioux Opportunity, Inc. will be taking applications through April 28, 2017, for the Low-income Home Energy Assistance Program (LiHEAP). This program is funded by the Department of Health and Human Services through the Iowa Department of Human Rights/ DCAA and has been established to help qualifying, low-income Iowa homeowners and renters pay for a portion of their primary heating costs. In an effort to better assist clients with their application and to eliminate waiting in line at MidSioux’s outreach of ices, they are taking applications by appoint-

ment only again this year. Please call Ida County at 712-364-2175 on Tuesday/Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or Cherokee County at 712-225-3322 on Monday-Wednesday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or 800-859-2025 to schedule an appointment.

This program is not designed to pay a household’s total energy costs. It will provide supplemental assistance based on several factors, including household income, household size and type of heating fuel. After a household is approved for assistance, a onetime payment will be made to the primary fuel vendor. Payments will be credited on a irst come/ irst served basis, as the Iowa Department of Human Rights makes funds available. All payments are subject to availability of funds.

Student News by Patti Andrews Everyday people facing everyday challenges-this is what Ida Alive will address in the coming year. We are going to share stories from our neighbors, our families, our friends who are facing or have faced health challenges. These stories may be shared through a onetime article; others may be shared over the course of the year; some may write anonymously and others may share their name. I will start with myself as an example. My name is Patti Andrews, and I am a public health nurse at Horn Memorial Hospital. Every year, my employer offers wellness checks, including blood work to screen for things like diabetes. Over the years, I have watched my blood glucose slowly edge its way up. This October, it was de initely in the “high” range. What does that mean? It means, for the irst time, I had to face the fact that I may be diabetic. So, over the next year, I am going to share my journey and how I try to deal with it. I’ll be writing an article every few months to keep you

up on my progress, including my struggles and my successes. I’m not ready to say, “I am a diabetic.” The irst thing I did was make an appointment with my doctor. I told her I wanted to try increasing my exercise (which had basically been none for the past year) and eat better (which had basically been terrible for the past year). We agreed upon letting me try these changes and then rechecking my blood work in January. I joined the rec center and started going to some evening classes. I researched diets and decided on a version of the Mediterranean Diet. You’ll have to wait for my next article to ind out how those are going. Our hope is that you can relate to someone in these articles. That you will realize everyday people face everyday challenges. And, while you’re at it, if you haven’t seen your doctor in the past year, pick up the phone and make an appointment. We often think, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.” But, in reality, “what you don’t know can hurt you.”

USDA begins national agricultural conservation survey

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is surveying 16,000 farmers and ranchers across the country through February 2017 about their conservation and production practices on cultivated and non-cultivated farmland. The results of the 2016 National Resources Inventory-Conservation Effects Assessment Project (NRI-CEAP) survey will further document onfarm conservation accomplishments and develop science-based solutions that help farmers and ranchers improve the environment. The survey will measure the environmental benefits associated

with installing and using conservation practices on agricultural land,” said NASS Administrator Hubert Hamer. “Responses to the survey can directly benefit producers themselves by helping leaders focus on what producers need to install conservation practices that are best for their operations environmentally and financially.” Over the past several months, NASS contacted 25,000 farmers and ranchers to determine if their land meets the criteria to be included in the survey. Now, NASS representatives are contacting those with eligible agricultural land to schedule in-person interviews.

The survey asks for information on conservation practices installed, nutrients and pesticides applied, cropping history, irrigation, and grazing for the 20142016 production years. Those responding should expect that the survey will take about an hour to complete, depending upon the size and scope of the operation and conservation practices. Having records on hand will help shorten the time needed to complete the questionnaire. NASS conducts the NRI-CEAP survey under a cooperative agreement with the Natural Resources Conservation Service. NRI-CEAP results help determine the effectiveness of existing conservation

practices and what resources farmers may need to further protect the soil, water and related resources in selected watersheds, and to document on-farm conservation accomplishments. The results guide USDA conservation policy and program development and help conservationists, farmers and ranchers more efficiently and effectively conserve natural resources. The privacy of all respondents is safeguarded, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified, as required by Federal law. Additional information about CEAP is available at the Conservation Effects Assessment Project survey web page.

Ease family caregiving burdens The frustration, depression and even anger that may affect family caregivers can obscure their decision-making, upset other relationships and impact their health, says Kim Brantner, a human science specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Providing care for aging parents, a spouse or loved one, or other family members can be a stressful responsibility and overwhelming experience. ISU Extension and Outreach offers â&#x20AC;&#x153;Powerful Tools for Caregiversâ&#x20AC;? to help family caregivers find the support they need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The nationally acclaimed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Powerful Tools for Caregiversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program helps individuals learn skills for decreasing stress and restoring balance in their lives,â&#x20AC;? said Brantner, who specializes in family life issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Powerful Tools for Caregiversâ&#x20AC;? is a series of six weekly sessions aimed at helping individuals who

are caring for their loved one, family or friends. Classes are offered by certified trainers who conduct the weekly series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Caregivers receive tools to help reduce personal stress, communicate better with loved ones and health care professionals, increase their ability to make difficult decisions and balance their lives better,â&#x20AC;? said Brantner. Class participants receive information about local resources and identify solutions to common caregiving problems. The program provides information, support strategies, commu-

nication techniques, stress reduction ideas and resources to assist family caregivers with their concerns related to caregiving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you take good care of yourself, you will be better prepared to take good care of your loved one,â&#x20AC;? Branter said. A number of communities across the state are offering local â&#x20AC;&#x153;Powerful Tools for Caregiversâ&#x20AC;? classes. Check the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Powerful Tools for Caregiversâ&#x20AC;? website or contact an ISU Extension and Outreach county office to be directed to an extension human sciences specialist for more information.

The menu of license options includes the popular Outdoor Combo annual resident hunting/ fishing/habitat combo license for $47; the Angler’s Special threeyear fishing license for $53 and the Hunter’s Special three-year hunting license with habitat included for $86.

Ridge View picked up its first dual win of the season last week and placed sixth in the Sibley-Ocheydan tournament Saturday. Ridge View’s dual record heading into this week is 1-8 and 0-4 in the conference. Dec. 6 duals Ridge View defeated East Sac County and lost to South Central Calhoun County and Humboldt in a wrestling triangular in Rockwell City Dec. 6. The win over East Sac was Ridge View’s first dual win of the season. “It was a good night for our wrestlers,” noted coach Caleb Christensen. “We saw some good competition in all three duals. We wrestled tough against So. Cal. to start. Andres Carbajal started it with a good win at 145, then Lance Else got a big pin over seventh ranked Brody Goodman. We wrestled hard through some tough competition and finished off with two pins from Trent Miller (220) and Evan Else (285). “The boys wrestled well against East Sac coming away with the first dual win of the season. We had a lot of key matches that went our way. Lance Else started us off with a win at 152 and that carried over to the next six weight classes. Jake Mitchell got a big win at 160 and Trent Moeller came up big for us at 170 with a pin as did Chance Hansen to get his first varsity win of the season at 182. Tate Phillips got a pin at 195 and Evan Else finished it off with a pin at 285 to seal the win for us.” So.

Dec. 8 duals Despite a couple of conference setbacks, Ridge View coach Caleb Christensen says his club is showing improvement on the mat. The Raptors lost to Lawton-Bronson (3330) and to Woodbury Central (60-18) in conference dual action in Lawton Dec. 8. “We had some hard fought matches,” said Christensen. “We matched up pretty well with L-B, but fell short. We started off really well at 170 with

Trent Moeller getting a key pin for us right away to set the tone for the meet. Trent Miller also came up with a big pin for us at 220. Lance Else came up with another solid win at 152, but in the end we fell short. “Woodbury is a tough team. They brought back some good wrestlers from last season. It’s always good to see great competition like that. We saw some good things out of our guys. We have been working hard in the wrestling room to develop our technique and it is starting to show on the mat. We have a long way to go to get where we want, but we are definitely making strides in the right direction.” L-B 33, Ridge View 30 •106 double forfeit. •113 double forfeit. •120 Ridge View lost by forfeit. •126 Ridge View lost by forfeit. •132 Wood won by forfeit. •138 double forfeit. •145 Carbajal lost by fall in 1:39. •152 Else won by fall in 3:10. •160 Mitchell lost by fall in 4:00. •170 Moeller won by fall in 3:31. •182 Hansen lost by fall. •195 Tate Phillips won by forfeit. •220 Miller won by fall in 3:26. •285 Else lost 5-3.

Sibley-Ocheydan tournament Evan Else recorded four pins on his way to the top spot in the 285-pound division at the

Sibley-Ocheydan tournament Saturday. He had Ridge View’s lone championship. Andres Carbajal also made it to the finals at 145, but lost in the championship match. Other placings for Ridge View were Lance Else (152), third; Trenton Miller (220), third; Trentin Moeller (170), fourth; Tate Phillips (195), fifth; Jake Mitchell (160), sixth; Cameron Steffens (170), sixth and Chance Hansen (182), sixth. As a team, Ridge View scored 102 points to place sixth. Sibley-Ocheydan was first with 294 points. “It was a tough day,” noted coach Christensen. “We saw a lot of good competition and learned a lot about ourselves. We saw some good things though and we battled all day long. We are still a very young team with a lot to learn and we saw some of those lessons today. “Carbajal wrestled well on the day. Only two matches but battled hard in both. He is really starting to hit his stride here before Christmas break. “Lance Else had some tough matches in his weight bracket, one of which included third ranked Dylan Schuck of Sibley-Ocheyedan. Else battled hard in that match, falling to Schuck, but picked himself up to close out the day with two big wins to battle back for third place. “Evan Else battled in some hard fought matches only falling to third ranked Matt Naig of Sibley-Ocheyedan, but coming out the champion of the tournament, pinning everyone else in his bracket. “We are looking forward to a good week of practice. We will finally get a bit of a breath this week with only one dual on Thursday, so we will start to build going into the break.”

Ridge View puts two games in WVC win column The Ridge View boys’ basketball team collected a pair of conference victories last week to even their overall record at 2-2 and improve to 2-1 in the conference. A non-conference game against Cherokee Saturday was postponed. Ridge View 66, River Valley 40 Ridge View coach Dale Tokheim has indicated his team is a work in progress. The coach noted the team’s progression began to show up in its 22-point conference win over River Valley Dec. 6. “We played a great game,” said Tokheim. “I thought it was the first time we played together as a team. We are still learning and our press and zone were not working in the first quarter, so we were actually down 16-13 at the end of the first quarter. “We switched up our defense in the second quarter and held them to four points. We came out in the second half and played an aggressive man to man defense and held them to six points in the third quarter, until they banked in a deep three-pointer at the end of the quarter.” Ridge View led 28-20 at halftime and 45-29 after three quarters. The Raptors outscored River Valley 21 to 11 in the fourth quarter. “I was really happy with our intensity and it was led by Jaxon Franken and Tyler Wingert who both shot the ball well,” said Tokheim. “Franken led us with 23 points, Wingert 17

points and Jake Kliegl had a great game with nine rebounds and 10 points.” Quarter scores RView 13 28 45 —66 RValley 16 20 29 —40 Ridge View stats Field goals: 22-57, 38.5%. Free throws: 15-22, 68%.

Fouls: 11 Ridge View 49, K-P 43 Three Ridge View players scored in double figures as Ridge View took down previously unbeaten Kingsley-Pierson in Holstein Friday. “We started off a little slow, down 11-7 at the end of the first quarter,” noted coach Tokheim. “Our defensive intensity picked up and we made K-P settle for contested outside shots and they only scored two points in the second quarter. We went on a 17-2 run in the second quarter to take a 24-13 lead at the half.” Ridge View was up 35-23 after three quarters and weathered a run by K-P in the final quarter to claim the 49-43 win. “We built the lead in the third quarter to 14 points by just staying patient and mixing up our zone defenses,” noted Tokheim. “K-P got hot in the fourth quarter and when you combine that with us missing

free throws they managed to tie the game a couple of times late in the game. “The difference late in the game was the leadership of our seniors. Wingert made some good decisions by just backing the ball out when things were hectic. Wunschel drove to the hoop and got a one-and-one in a critical point. Wingert went four-for-four from the line at the end of the game.” Wunschel scored 14 points for Ridge View. Wingert had 12 points and 10 rebounds. Jaxon Franken added 10 points. “Wunschel was very active in the second quarter scoring seven of his 14, most of them inside. I thought we showed nice patience against their zone and worked the ball inside,” said Tokheim. “Our effort was great all game and it really showed on the defensive end. Offensively, we were unselfish and shared the ball and that shows up with three guys in double figures again. There were plenty of mistakes to learn from, but I am very happy to get the win as we continue to improve.” Quarter scores RView 7 24 35 —49 K-P 11 13 23 —43 Ridge View stats Field goals: 18-39, 39%.

Raptor girls split conference hoop games Ridge View beat River Valley and lost to Kingsley-Pierson in WVC basketball play last week. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Cherokee was postponed. Ridge View enters play this week with an overall record of 3-1 and 2-1 in the conference. Ridge View 42, River Valley 24 Ridge View limited River Valley to three first half points (all in the first quarter) in its conference victory in Correctionville Dec. 6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our defensive effort was tremendous,â&#x20AC;? noted coach Brian Bode. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did an excellent job of limiting them to the number of quality possessions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Offensively, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a nice job of sharing the basketball and making the extra pass to get open looks, but we need to be better at the free throw line.â&#x20AC;? The Raptors were nine of 21 (43 percent) shooting from the line and 16-58 (27.5 percent) from the field. Ridge View led 27-3 at halftime, but was outscored 21 to 15 in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We struggled to get into any kind of rhythm the second half,â&#x20AC;? noted Bode. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just became complacent and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a very good job of attacking and moving the

ball. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll review the game like any other and discuss those kind of things in practice.â&#x20AC;? Harlee Wagoner netted 13 points for Ridge View. Kara Richard added 12 points and Beth Pickhinke scored 10 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having three girls score in double figures as well as winning the rebounds on both ends of the floor is always good recipe for success,â&#x20AC;? noted Bode. Quarter scores RView 14 27 35 â&#x20AC;&#x201D;42 RValley 3 3 17 â&#x20AC;&#x201D;24 Ridge View stats Field goals: 16-58, 27.5%. Free throws: 9-21, 43%.

Blocks: 5 (Pickhinke, 2) Fouls: NA K-P 49, Ridge View 34 Kingsley-Pierson, ranked 13th in the state in class 1A, handed the Ridge View girls their first loss of the season Friday in Holstein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We struggled from the free throw line and had way too many turnovers,â&#x20AC;? noted coach Bode. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those alone are never a good thing, but when paired together the outcomes usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end in

your favor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did a pretty good job of making them earn most of their points. We gave up a few baskets uncontested, but I thought our defensive effort was consistently good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was certainly a physical game and the girls competed hard all night. K-P is a good team and does a lot of little things well. They were able to convert on more three-point baskets and that was where the true difference maker in the game was.â&#x20AC;?
