Crop clinic has a lot to cultivate
by Rick Patrie News Editor HARDIN COUNTY – David Lechtenberg, price risk management advisor for Advance Trading, Inc., will be the kick-off speaker at the North Central Iowa Crop & Land Stewardship Clinic being held Thursday, December 29, at the Iowa Falls-Alden High School. Lechtenberg will address “Grain Marketing Strategies for 2017.” Organizers say that grain marketing has become more challenging with the large surplus and a strong U.S. dollar. When reached a couple of weeks ago Lechtenberg was also taking a wait and see stance on the change of national administrations and how it might impact commodity prices. He says producers are a little paralyzed now – more concerned with what to do with the 2016 crop, rather than anticipating too much about 2017. He says there is speculation for maybe a few more years on the downside, and he acknowledges that if low prices persist this changes the farm financial dynamic. But he says it is “hard to believe that you can continue for another five years without some kind of weather
event that would cut the surplus” and help put a floor under prices. He was speaking before the recent dustup between President-elect Trump and China, but Lechtnburg said that the new administration isn’t creating so much worry – as it is creating volatility. He said all market swings could be more pronounced, and he gave as an example the behavior of the stock market since the election. In any case, he noted that farm exports had been a life saver for the market in the last half-year or so. Lechtenbufg says the assumption is, that if the new administration does something to negatively impact the basic grain export market, it will be taking other economic policy steps which will mitigate the impact too. Other speakers include ISU Extension Specialists Elwynn Taylor, Richard Cruse, Bob Hartzler, Antonio Mallarino, Kapil Arora, Angie Rieck-Hinz, and Kelvin Leibold, Kristine Tidgren with the ISU Center for Ag Law and Taxation and Ellsworth Community College Ag Professor Kevin Butt.

Sheriff adds a no nonsense deputy By Rick Patrie News Editor HARDIN COUNTY – Everybody on the Hardin County sheriff’s roster is business-like, but the newest officer on patrol is literally all business. And all focus. They’re not sure he ever blinks. Hardin County Sheriff Dave McDaniel not long ago added Ogon to the staff, a K-9 dog half of a team, which included deputy Mitchell Kappel. Both dog and partner had undergone an extensive period of training, the dog the longest, in preparation for the start of patrols in late November. Ogon is a male Belgian Malinois who hails from Poland. A lot of his fellows with police and law enforcement agencies across the nation come from Eastern Europe. Meanwhile, deputy Kappel comes from Ackley. Kappel’s house is now the dog’s too. They go home together every night, report for work together every day. The addition of the k-9 component to the county sheriffs office, means that there are now two dogs units working in the county. The Ackley Police department has the other, Lexer, which specializes in drug and explosive searches, looking for missing individuals and crime scene evidence. (continued on page 4)

The High School sounds of the season The South Hardin High School Concert Choir came wearing brand new robes which have been donated by a long list of groups and individuals in the community. See the story on the project on page 6. And Monday night last week both the choir and the high school bands all came with Seasonal wishes. The choir took center stage this year. That was because in the Spring of 2016, the South Hardin Performing Arts Boosters launched a fund raising campaign to purchase new robes for members of the South Hardin High School Concert Choir. A design was selected, and Academic Apparel of Chatsworth, California, the company that had manufactured the robes for Hubbard-Radcliffe High School, was chosen as the vendor to make the new robes. Eleven boxes of new robes, stoles, and garment bags arrived last week at South Hardin, and students have been fitted into custom robes that will be debuted at Monday’s Winter Concert.
The robes are jet black with a stole featuring the school colors of grey, black, and red, with a “SH” featured prominently in the center, similar to the emblem found both on the Football field at Tiger Stadium, and the Basketball court in the gymnasium at South Hardin. Monday night also renewed a tradition of Christmas season music in the local schools, and called everyone’s attention to more coming up in the second semester. The ENP Elementary Winter concert is December 19 at 7 p.m. in the elementary gym. Then students go to Aplington-Parkersburg High on January 16 for the NICL Vocal Festival. The high school Cabaret is February 25. The annual band Extravaganz is March 2, where musicians from all the grades combine for a program held each year in the
elementary school gym. Students of the vocal music department go to Small Group annual contest on April 1, at a destination to be announced. Large Group contest is May 6 at a site to be announced and on April 27 the participants will come to the South Hardin Auditorium to give local folks a preview of what they will offer at the state competition. Find pictured on this page. Above left, a group from the SHHS band contingent who welcomed visitors to the band and vocal music offerings Monday night in Eldora. The band is under the direction of Wayne Lu. And below the presentation of a hand made quilt which was part of the fundraising project which helped finance the new choir robes. And the vocal music students in a concert offering.

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 • The days of suspense, the cliffhanger finish—they all belie the fact that Ellsworth Hospital’s proposal to enlist county backing for its building plan actually garnered nearly twothirds of the votes—sixty percent plus a little—which in most elections is considered a mini-landslide. And it’s with such support Ellsworth’s pushing ahead for a windup of the private portion of project fundraising—by the end of December or soon in January. Chad Hammer is the EMH Foundation director, new to the job in April. He says that already about $3.6 million of the needed $5 million is committed, and now that the election results are firm, the pace of commitments is spiking quickly. • If it’s old, it just naturally finds its way to the Hardin County Farm Museum, and next year you can check out the old gleanings of the winter of 2011-12. Take, for instance, the contraption pictured on this page, a blue grass seed stripper. Ed Ziesman, who is the curator of the museum, says he recalled seeing one once when he was just a teenager. An itinerant operator called at the Ziesman farm inquiring about whether anyone in the area might have a blue grass crop to be taken in. Apparently there were a few farmers in the area who did, or the fellow wouldn’t have strayed this way. But the important thing was the memory of the visit stoked Ziesman’s interest when one of his fellows out at the museum, Darold Duerr, reported coming across an old antique stripper while perusing the internet. 10 years ago this week-2006 • The Eldora city council has taken the first preliminary financial steps to help a group of businesses and building owners interested in preserving the historic look of the commercial downtown. The city has designated a portion of its Tax Increment Financing authority in an amount up to $10,000 to be collateral with which the local preservation enthusiasts can go out and seek additional grant funds to help finance the completion of an architectural and historical assessment of the downtown. Those enthusiasts have named the effort the Eldora Renaissance Project, and it’s become an unofficial partnership between the city and the Greater Eldora Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, supporters will be announcing sales projects to raise more private funds locally, too. • “Are you kidding?” was Niki Sly’s first reaction upon discovering that after all the house hunting, internet searching for low-interest loans and otherwise shopping the homeowner market, right next door in Eldora there was a Habitat for Humanity home poised for construction and suddenly needing to find a partner. Sly was the beneficiary when the first partner-family of Hardin County Habitat/Thrivent Financial for
Lutherans had second thoughts and decided to opt out of the new home offer. Because of the sudden development, Sly and her nine-year-old daughter Zoe found the process of applying and being accepted for the project in Eldora an all but overnight one. 25 years ago this week- 1991 • A new bank building is under construction in Union by the Hardin County Savings Bank. It will be located on the corner where the Buy and Sell store was most recently located. And to prepare for the new building, a landmark structure, which has been a part of Union’s history, was razed. The building, which was torn down this fall, is actually the second structure to be located on that corner. It is not certain just when the first structure was built, but it is thought to have been constructed in the early 1870s. F.Z. Whinery purchased the general store sometime prior to 1898 when it burned to the ground. Whinery chose to rebuild on that corner and sold the business in 1917 to Gus Haggin. • An Eldora ambassadors ribbon cutting was held Wednesday morning at the grand opening of the Eldora Flowers and Gifts at their new location on North Washington Street in Eldora. Owners Leighton and Linda Weltz moved the business from the former site on Edgington Avenue. Their new location is the former site of Bruno’s Jewelry Store. 50 years ago this week- 1966 • Foundation work on the new First National Bank building is almost complete with beams to support the upper floor having been placed. General contractor for the building, which will measure 76.4 ft. (north and south) by 41 ft. (east and west) is Cervetti Construction of Steamboat Rock. The building, started in October, is being constructed on the former site of the old Baptist Church on the southwest corner of the courthouse square. • A temporary injunction was granted Tuesday in Hardin County District Court halting condemnation proceedings on land adjacent to the Iowa Falls Municipal Airport. District Court Judge Edward J. Flattery of Fort Dodge granted the temporary injunction following the filing of a petition by Vernon Ioerger of rural Iowa Falls against the City of Iowa Falls and Hardin County Sheriff Lowell H. McCormick. Judge Flattery has set January 4 as the date for a hearing on whether the injunction should be made permanent or not. Iowa Falls is seeking to condemn 123 acres owned by Ioerger adjacent to the Iowa Falls Municipal Airport for the purpose of extending an existing runway at the airport and for the construction of northeast-southeast cross-runway. • It’s that time of season for the Eldora Post Office—the Christmas rush. Monday, the local post office had a record day for over the counter sales, reports Postmaster Robert Carson. Over $800 worth of stamps were sold, with the stamp meter at the post office having over $200 in sales.

Opening night shows off new choir attire by Rick Patrie News Editor SOUTH HARDIN – When the South Hardin High School choir members and their instructor Patrick Gagnon took their turn on the stage Monday night, audience members got their first glimpse of the new Concert Choir robes gifted to the school by a huge community project which has gone on the last few months. The South Hardin HS Winter Concert was held on Monday, December 12. It was the annual high school winter concert and featured both the instrumental and vocal students of Gagnon and band leader Wayne Lu. But this year there was a visual treat as well as the musical. In the Spring of 2016, the South Hardin Performing Arts Boosters launched a fundraising campaign to purchase new robes for members of the South Hardin High School Concert Choir. A design was selected, and Academic Apparel of Chatsworth, California, the company that had manufactured the robes for Hubbard-Radcliffe High School,
was chosen as the vendor to make the new robes. Eleven boxes of new robes, stoles, and garment bags arrived last week at South Hardin, and students were fitted into custom robes that were debuted at Monday’s Winter Concert. The robes are jet black with a stole featuring the school colors of grey, black, and red, with a “SH” featured prominently in the center, similar to the emblem found both on the Football field at Tiger Stadium, and the Basketball court in the gymnasium at South Hardin. Gagnon needed an old fashioned ‘Rolodex’ to account for all those due thank you’s. But it was easy to pinpoint where the big thanks went. To the Eldora Rotary’s Haunted Hospital for a donation of nearly $10,000 toward this fundraising effort. Additional donations were received from the Eldora Kiwanis, Hubbard Sisters in Service, and dozens of other community organizations, businesses, and individuals, all of which were recognized in the concert program. Another special feature of the
fundraising campaign involved a quilt made by Dorothy Teske. The quilt had been on display at home athletic and fine arts events as a raffle ticket item. The quilt winner was announced at Monday’s concert in the raffle drawing, led by Cauy and Miquela Teske, Dorothy’s grandchildren, who sing in the choir, and Emily Timmerman, and Joshua Jeske, both seniors in Concert Choir. Karla Gear of Eldora was the winner of the beautiful quilt, and the raffle raised another $370 for the South Hardin Performing Arts Boosters. Many thanks to these individuals, families and businesses for making this fundraising project a possibility. Gagnon said during the proceedings while citing donors: The Allison family, Ingvert and Sharon Apple, the Bader family, Mark and Kathy Boeke for Boeke Funeral Homes, RJ and Bridgette Brinkmeyer, Jerry and Ruth Butler, Jim and Gretchen Brown in honor of Hanna VanderWilt, Brown Hurst Insurance, Les and Kay Clampitt, Kim Cheklal, Betty Collins, Dan and Nancuy Cook, Lisle and Margaret

Eldora Newspapers’ parent company makes another western Iowa acquisition IOWA – Mid-America Publishing Corporation is pleased to announce its purchase of The Aurelia Star and Marcell Publishing, LLC from Marci Brown, of Cherokee, effective December 14, 2016. The Star will be added to the Hampton-based corporations growing roster of 31 Iowa weekly newspapers and shoppers. Other nearby papers also owned by Mid-America include those in Holstein, Ida Grove, and Lake City. “We are excited to assume the ownership of The Aurelia Star,” said Mid-America Publishing’s President and CEO, Ryan Harvey. “We believe this fits naturally with our western Iowa properties and our company as a whole. Marci has done a phenomenal job at re-building the Star and we are eager to carry her momentum forward.” Marci’s decision to sell the paper was ultimately related to her decision to retire. “We want to thank Marci for allowing Mid-America to continue the legacy of the Star,” Matt Grohe Mid-America Publishing Corporation added. “We know she’s put her heart and soul into the paper and we look forward to working with the local community to provide the most robust news product possible going forward.” Harvey will assume the duties and title of publisher of the newspaper
while the staff of the Courier and Advance will remain responsible for day to day operations in the interim. As part of its new ownership Mid-America will be looking to add a part-time local writer and photographer to enhance coverage of local news and events. “We believe a local newspaper needs to have local content,” Grohe said. “That’s why our mission going forward with the Aurelia Star is the same as with every paper we publish, and that is to use the paper to tell the stories of the local residents, report on local events, and provide strong coverage of local government at the city, county, and school district levels. We’ve been very happy with the product the staff in Ida Grove and Holstein has been able to produce since ownership changes there and we fully expect to replicate our success there here in Aurelia by providing unique content, compelling photos and quality journalism for the folks in the region.” The publication will join MidAmerica’s portfolio of weekly newspapers which aside from the Courier, Advance, and Ida County Reminder also include: The Calmar Courier; Postville Herald; The Outlook, in Monona; The Eldora Herald-Ledger and Hardin County Index, with an office in Eldora; The Leader, with offices in Garner and
Britt; the Grundy Register, in Grundy Center; the Buffalo Center Tribune; the Parkersburg Eclipse-NewsReview; the Wright County Monitor, in Clarion and Dows; the Eagle Grove Eagle; the Buffalo Center Tribune, The Pioneer Enterprise (Rockwell-Thornton), The Sheffield Press; The Hampton Chronicle; The Butler County Tribune-Journal (Allison); the Clarksville Star, The Ogden Reporter, and The GraphicAdvocate, with offices in Lake City and Rockwell City. The company also owns and operates newspapers in southeast Iowa, namely, The News-Review, in Sigourney, The Keota Eagle, Keota, and The Sun with offices in New Sharon and Fremont. The company additionally produces two weekly political newspapers, the Conservative Chronicle and the Liberal Opinion Week as well as several TMC shoppers, such as The Hampton Chronicle’s Bonus in Hampton, The Spectrum in Lake City-Rockwell City, The Leader’s Shopper News Review in Garner, The Reminder in Ida Grove; and the Wright County Reminder in Clarion; plus monthly shoppers such as The Dual County Leader in Eagle Grove and the Keokuk County Chief in Sigourney. Additionally, the company publishes north central Iowa’s only Latino-oriented newspaper, Viva
Iowa! which serves Franklin and Wright Counties. Mid-America also operates a custom printing division, Mid-America Business and Personal Printing, that offers individualized printing and publishing solutions such as banners, posters, postcards, direct mailing, mailing list management, letter head design, newsletter management and dozens of other marketing and promotional products which it plans to make available locally in the Alta and Aurelia area. Mid-America Publishing Corporation is a closely held family run company owned primarily by the granddaughter of the founder, Willard D. Archie, Jeanette M. Grohe, and her husband Matt Grohe, who also serves as the company’s Chairman and corporate Vice President. The Grohe family has extensive ties to area with the board secretary, Ronald Grohe, having grown up in Alta, Storm Lake and Hartley. Ron is also the brother in law of Nona Grohe and uncle to Sue Grohe Roberts and Kelli Hirschman, Aurelia residents. From the outset, several major changes will be evident with the Star. Namely, as part of the changeover the newspaper’s billing and circulation will be consolidated to the company’s home office in Hampton effective immediately. The printing of the newspaper will also move to the company’s Hampton facility

The paper will also retain its current mailing address. To reach the office, please call the Ida Grove location at 712-3643131 for immediate assistance during business hours. Readers will note that the newsstand price will also be increasing from .75 cents to $1 effective next week and will be available at all of the same newsstand locations by Tuesday afternoons at 3 p.m. Also, effective immediately fees for publication of full obituaries will be $25. Engagement and birthday announcements will now cost $5 as well while a wedding announcement

The format reflects the width of all other Mid-America papers which will allows advertising customers the opportunity to easily place advertising from the Star into any of the company’s other newspapers, and allows Mid-America to include other area social news and photographs of possible interest to local readers seamlessly into the format. Readers can find more information on this story and additional coverage of the newspaper’s transition in next week’s Star. Thank you for your past, present and future support of the Aurelia Star!

not already done, the city reminds residents to place the house numbers on their homes. Police refer to city code 150.02, for instruction on compliance. You can also check with city hall or any officer. Any residents not in compliance by January 12 can be
subject to penalties. Home and property owners can
verify the assigned address number with city hall, and then they can purchase the fixture and “attach it to the principal building on the
property.” The number can be verified with the city clerk. The owner should place the number in a spot readable and conspicuous from the street and the figures themselves should not be less than two inches in height, and they should be of a contrasting color with

DES MOINES- Iowa’s late muzzleloader deer season begins Dec. 19, which is the final season that any-deer licenses are available. Nearly 30,000 hunters participated in the late muzzleloader season in 2015 and the DNR expects similar numbers again this year. Archery season also reopens on Dec. 19 so bow hunters with unfilled tags will likely beheading back to their tree stands as well. Hunters are required to wear blaze orange during the late muzzleloader season but party hunting is now allowed. Iowa’s second shotgun season ends Dec. 18. If hunters are seeing fewer deer where they hunt they may want to refrain from harvesting extra does. Hunters should check with landowners to see if deer numbers are at an acceptable level and tailor their harvest accordingly. Hunters are reminded to report their harvest within 24 hours of recovering their deer. This information is an important part of the data needed to manage Iowa’s deer head.

The paddlefish season is opened on these rivers March 1, 2015 after being closed since 1986 due to concerns of habitat loss and declining population numbers. The paddlefish slot limit on he Missouri River requiring the release of all 35-45 inch fish protects the primary breeding stock. Iowa anglers bought 369 paddlefish licenses last year and nonresident angular bought 37 paddlefish licenses. The Iowa DNR received 50 survey cards from last year’s season (-12% response). Anglers averaged just fewer than four paddlefish trips and the average length of fish harvested last year was 33 inches.

Anglers must also have a valid Iowa fishing license. The Missouri and Big Sioux Rivers paddlefish season runs from March 1 to April 15. The license, harvest tag, regulations and survey card will be mailed to purchasers in February. The postage paid survey card helps the Iowa DNR evaluate the success of the paddlefish season, so please fill out and return survey cards whether a paddlefish was harvested or not. The Iowa DNR is always working to improve the paddlefish season for anglers so any input provided is greatly appreciated.

South Hardin girls battle for victory, Tigers struggling
by Scott Bierle Sports Editor ELDORA- The unbeaten North Iowa Cedar League West Conference campaign marched on for the South Hardin girls’ basketball team, scoring a 44-34 win over East Marshall here Tuesday. The struggles then continued for the Tigers, losing 52-38 to the Mustangs in the nightcap. SH GIRLS BATTLE BACK The South Hardin girls improved to 3-0 in the conference and earned a fifth win in eight games overall with a solid final 16-minutes. The Tigers scored an unanswered 11 points between the third and into the fourth to turn an offensivelychallenged first half of basketball into a 31-21 lead. After scoring just 15 points in the opening half and were down two at the break, the hosts returned to the court ready to play and took the all-important third quarter, 14-4. After the two teams traded the lead four times in the early moments of the third, South Hardin took control, scoring the period’s final nine points. Nina Priske’s basket started the spurt followed by a Paige Harrell bucket, Emma Gourley baseline three-pointer and Kiera Anderson two-pointer. Anderson then started the fourth with two free throws, stretching the cushion to 10. The gap reached 14 later with a quick seven-points on an Anderson basket, Hanna Vander Wilt triple and two free throws by Miquela Teske. “We came out flat in the game and it just shows we have to come ready to play every night,” stated South Hardin coach Matt Thompson. “I’m happy with how the girls played half court man. That made the difference in the third quarter,” he added. Nelson’s 12 points led the Tigers and was a game-high followed by Teske with 10 and Harrell six. Nina Priske pulled down eight rebounds, Gourley had five boards and three steals to go with five points, and Harrell had four steals and three assists. The Tigers were down 12-9 after one quarter as EM’s Maria Rasmusson and Tylyn Eicher drained last three-pointers. The two teams then combined for just 11 second period points with six for the hosts to trail 17-15. “Scoring was an issue in the first half. They (East Marshall) did a nice job of rebounding and limiting us to one shot. They are also an aggressive team like us and that led to the defense controlling the game,” noted Thompson. East Marshall’s scoring leaders were Eicher 11 points and Bobbi Amendt 10. After two wins to start the season, the Mustangs have now lost four-in-a-row. The Tigers meet 13th-ranked in Class 3A West Marshall tonight. The

TIGERS START SLOW The South Hardin boys stumbled at the start and never recovered. Visiting East Marshall scored 11 of the game’s first 12 points, led 19-9 after one quarter and doubled that to a 38-18 cushion at the break. “We had zero effort,” stated South Hardin coach Adam Weig. “This was one of the worst games I have been a part of. We had no leadership and no hustle.” Down 11-1, the Tigers’ first field goal came at the 4:36 mark of the first quarter on an offensive putback by Kevin Rewoldt. Rewoldt led the host’s scoring at 10 points and delighted the fans with a pair of dunks. Jacob Vander Wilt tallied nine points with the team’s one trey and Ty Cook had six. EM’s tandem of Dru Boliver and Zane Johnson combined for 35 points with a game-high 19 for Boliver and 16 for Johnson. Boliver had seven in the opening eight minutes and Johnson 14 at break. “East Marshall is a good team and we didn’t come ready. They jumped to the lead and we didn’t respond,” added Weig. After the Mustangs widened the gap to 47-23 through three, the Tigers took the fourth 15-5. A fourth straight loss left the Tigers 1-6 overall and 0-3 in the league. EM improved to 3-1 in the conference and 4-1.
