STEM grant gives Aplington students opportunities for hands-on experience By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review APLINGTON — Curiosity is leading to creative learning at both Aplington Elementary and A-P Junior High School in Aplington. Over the summer, Nancy Flanigan, the school’s media specialist and technology integration specialist, received a grant from the Iowa STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Council to purchase a pair of Makerspace carts – one each for the elementary and middle school. Teachers were trained in July though it was well into the school year when the carts arrived. Once there, sitting in a room off the Aplington building’s media center, Flanigan said students saw the carts

loaded with tools and equipment and began to ask about them. “Mr. (Dave) Price came to me and said ‘I’ve got study hall kids and they need something. This would be perfect,” she said. Students were soon introduced to the carts and allowed to let their imaginations run wild. “We did a little presentation – just a little iMovie about everything and what materials we have – that got the kids excited and they just took it to town,” Flanigan said. Carts include materials as simple as hand saws and as complex as computer equipment that can be used for coding. There were drills and wires … even a sewing machine. Flanigan also

received a huge donation of material for the kids to build with from retired teachers Doris and Naomi Allspach and Lynne Mulder, who had more material than they would ever use. After less than two weeks working with the tools during study hall, the kids had come up with a variety of projects. Nash Arkulari talked of a car he is building to race against his friends’ cars. “So far I’m putting on the motors and the horns and stuff,” he said. Arkulari said his dad, an electrician, had showed him how to wire some things and that working with the things at school had been fun. Gavin Madsen said he had never

worked with tools like they have access to now and that learning has been a lot of the fun. “They usually just let us figure it out … see what we know,” he said. Another student who had never before used a sewing machine was proud of the Christmas stocking he had made that would find a place at home during the holidays. “I had a kid who brought in a diagram and he’s like ‘I know what I want to make’ and he had this diagram of a Christmas tree he wanted to make for his dad,” Flanigan said. “I thought that was pretty impressive that he actually had a plan.”

Supervisors approve employee salary increases By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review ALLISON — The Butler County Board of Supervisors Monday approved wage increases for both elected and non-elected, non-deputy employees. Supervisors approved the County Compensation Board’s recommendations of increases of 4.821 percent ($3,500) for the sheriff, 2.696 percent ($1,500) for the county treasurer, auditor and recorder, 2.695 percent ($1,690) for the county attorney and 2.554 percent for the county supervisors for Fiscal Year 2018. Greg Barnett, who earlier in the meeting was sworn into his first term as a supervisor, said he was uncomfortable taking a raise during his first meeting though Sheriff Jason Johnson reminded him that the raise he was being asked to approve was for the position, not the individual. Johnson also defended the larger raise that the Compensation Board had accommodated for his position than the others, noting that his salary had been lagging behind those in comparable positions in neighboring counties. “Per (Iowa) code, we’re supposed to be compared to the Department of Safety, we’re not sitting anywhere close to that kind of money,” he said. “However I also have comparable sheriffs in (a report he presented) that are around us that are comparable in size and comparable in what they do and what they don’t do, and we’re kind of behind them. It’s kind of a result of those percentages that we don’t receive or those half percentages, they add up over the years and we get a ways behind.” Johnson’s fiscal 2017 salary is

$72,592, up 2 percent from $71,169 the year before, while sheriff’s in neighboring Franklin, Grundy and Hardin Counties ranged from $75,250 to $78,717. Johnson’s new salary will be $76,092. Supervisors approved the raises unanimously. Raises received by the elected officials directly reflect the raises received by deputies in their departments. Non-elected, non-deputy employees will receive the same 2.696 percent increases as the treasurer, auditor and recorder following action at the meeting. County Assessor Deb McWhirter noted that a 4 percent increase would break salaries even with what insurance increases would be, though Supervisor Tom Heidenwirth said he was more comfortable with keeping the raises the same for everyone. He added that he wished the county could give a flat dollar amount for raises rather than a percentage. “People that make more money get more on a percentage,” he said. IN OTHER BUSINESS, Supervisors approved a Fiscal 2018 mileage rate of 50 cents per mile, up from 45 cents in Fiscal 2017. Heidenwirth noted that the county rate has bounced around quite a bit, after having been 52 cents in Fiscal 2016, and that 50 cents is a middle ground. The rate is slightly below the federal mileage reimbursement rate of 53.5 cents per mile but higher than the State of Iowa rate of 39 cents per mile. Supervisor Rusty Eddy also noted that the rate is significantly higher than what most private businesses pay, which he said is around 35 cents per mile.

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review DES MOINES — Lower projected revenues are expected to bring a tighter budget for Fiscal 2018 as well as the remaining portion of Fiscal 2017. That according to State Rep. Pat Grassley (R, New Hartford) who chairs the House Appropriations Committee and is a member of the Commerce Committee. Grassley said in a Friday interview from Washington, D.C., where he was attending the swearing in of his grandfather, Senator Charles Grassley, to a seventh term, that priorities early in the session will be dealing with less money coming into state coffers than had originally been projected. “The first thing we’re going to have to do with the budget, for 2017 we’re going to have to do a deappropriation of about $117 million,” Pat Grassley said. “The budget that we passed last year was balanced when we left Des Moines, but revenues have declines, putting us in a position where we’re going to have to go in and find savings in the ’17 budget.” The deappropriation is required under Iowa law, which requires a balanced budget. Grassley declined to give specifics on what areas might be cut, but said that information should be available early in the session … possibly as early as this week. “We’re working down a path where our caucus can get there, but at this point it would probably be inappropriate to say what that is,” he said. Once the Fiscal 2017 budget is balanced, focus will turn to 2018, which will also be dealing with less new money coming to the state than had been expected a year ago at this time. “I haven’t focused a ton of time on the ’18 budget yet because the more we cut (from the 2017 budget) the more new revenue will be available for ’18 just because we reduced the ’17 appropriation. “It’s a little difficult to work on the ’18 budget because until we’ve completed the ’17 work we don’t know where we’re going to be,” he said. Grassley emphasized that there is revenue growth in Iowa, it just is not as much as had previously been projected. Grassley said, because of his focus on the budget, he is less clear about Republican priorities on other issues. The 2017 session is the first since 1988 that the governor has been a Republican at the same time that both the State House and State Senate have been controlled by Republicans. “Coming into the session with the new makeup of the session, we’re going to see a situation where I think Iowans expect us to be able to get things done in an efficient manner,” he said. “Yes there’s going to be some disagreements, but we should be able to work those out in a timely manner.” Grassley said state legislators should be able to set things like school funding in the first 30 days of the session as opposed to the issue dragging on far beyond that and leaving school districts unsure of how much new money they will have in the upcoming year. “Things like that which have been a fight between the House and Senate in the past, hopefully we can work those out quicker and get some certainty for whatever group they affect,” he said. Grassley said, though the new makeup of legislators in Des Moines does bring change, it is somewhat “business as usual” for Republicans in Des Moines.

A-P, Union using hoops to fight cancer By JAKE RYDER Eclipse News-Review LA PORTE CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For one night, the shared school colors of red, black and silver for Union and Aplington-Parkersburg high schools will turn purple for a good cause. The communities are coming together for a special Coaches vs. Cancer event in conjunction with a Friday, Jan. 13 basketball doubleheader between the Knights and the Falcons in La Porte City. The Coaches vs. Cancer program is a nationwide initiative between the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the National Association of Basketball Coaches to give basketball programs at all levels an opportunity to raise awareness and funds toward eliminating the disease. Barb Bader, a La Porte City resident who experienced the tragedy of the disease first hand when her husband, Ron Bader, passed away in 2014 from colon cancer, was contacted by the American Cancer Society to generate interest in starting an event at Union High School. Barb worked with fellow Union community member Stefanie Lorenzen, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped with the American Cancer Society in the past and whose husband Craig is currently battling colon cancer as well, to help bring something special to the A-P/Union matchup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked with [Union assistant principal and activities director] Wayne

Slack, and he thought A-P would be a good team to fight this cause,â&#x20AC;? Bader said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wayne contacted Coach [Aaron] Thomas, and he was all about getting in.â&#x20AC;? Thomas, who coached boys basketball and was the assistant principal and activities director at Union prior to taking the athletic director job at Aplington-Parkersburg in 2009, was honored to have A-P considered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Ron] was a strong community advocate,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For them to start that up, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just honored that we could be a part of it.â&#x20AC;? Bader added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think of A-P a bit as a sister school with the same colors and the connection with Coach Thomas. â&#x20AC;Ś He knew my husband really well.â&#x20AC;? The festivities include a 3-point shooting contest between Thomas and Union boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball coach Tyler Edwards during halftime of the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game, and a game of knockout during halftime of the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball game with a $1 buy-in for members of the A-P and Union communities in attendance and 50 percent of the pot to the winner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will also be buckets there for people to put a dollar in for if they think Coach Thomas or Coach Edwards will win,â&#x20AC;? Bader said, adding that there will also be a selection of silent auctions to raise funds. Thomas joked that he spent time over the Christmas break practicing 3-pointers, then added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d much

rather have my boys make it than me make it.â&#x20AC;? Purple shirts bearing the names of the two schools and the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Fight Together!â&#x20AC;? will replace the usual school colors in the stands for Falcon and Knights fans alike, with proceeds from the T-shirt sales going to the ACS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, everyone knows someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been affected by cancer,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a good turnout and a lot of support for that â&#x20AC;Ś and hopefully theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a cure for that dreaded disease that affects each and every one of us.â&#x20AC;?

DIKE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dike-New Hartford High School will host a Coaches vs. Cancer night on Tuesday, Jan. 17 in conjunction with a basketball doubleheader between the Wolverines and Aplington-Parkersburg. Both schools will compete to raise more funds for the American Cancer Society during the week of Jan. 9-13. The losing schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic director will wear the opposing schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shirt the Monday prior to game day. A shooting competition during halftime of the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball game will pit the principal, athletic director and a student representative from both schools in a contest to shoot a lay-up, a free throw, a 3-pointer and a half-court shot. The team that makes the most of those four shots will win Coaches vs. Cancer T-shirts. For those attending the Jan. 17 game, a paper basketball can be purchased for $1 in memory of anyone who has battled or is currently battling cancer. During halftime of the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game, fans will be asked to make donations during a 48-second time period that represents how often someone is diagnosed with cancer. All proceeds from the entire Coaches vs. Cancer fundraising event and the doubleheader itself will go to the American Cancer Society.

Supervisors from page 1 County Engineer John Riherd asked the Supervisors to approve funding for an agreement with the Iowa Department of Transportation to build a turning lane off Highway 14 at its intersection with County Road C-55 north of Parkersburg. Riherd said the DOT had agreed to build turning lanes off Highway 14 at seven locations (five in Butler County) during its rehabilitation project on Highway 14 planned for this year, though the C-55 interchange was not one of them due to lower traffic volumes than at other intersections in the plan. The County will fund the estimated $51,050 cost and work will be done by the DOT. Riherd said the cost came in significantly lower than it would have had the county done the project on its own. Supervisors also swore in county officials elected in November, including Johnson, Barnett and Auditor Lizbeth Williams and passed a series of first-of-the-year resolutions, including designating Riherd as its Farm-toMarket road coordinator and naming the Butler County Tribune-Journal, Clarksville Star, Parkersburg Eclipse News-Review and Greene Recorder as its official newspapers. They also accepted quarterly reports from the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department and auditor, received a Fiscal 2018 funding request from Crisis Intervention Services and acknowledged receipt of a manure management plan update from Markley Koop.

German Club to elect officers WELLSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Ostfriesen Heritage Society will meet at 2 p.m. at the Wellsburg Public Library on January 14, 2017.

Funeral services were held 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, January 4, 2017, at Aplington Baptist Church in Aplington. Pastor Elton LaBree officiated the service. Organist, Cami Haugstad accompanied the congregation as they sang “Amazing Grace” and “There Is A Savior”. Jason Peterson provided special music as he sang “There Will Be A Day” and “Ten Thousand Reasons (Bless The Lord)”. Burial was at Pleasant View Cemetery in Aplington with Kristin Sherburne, Kara Peterson, Josh Wolff, Kent Herrmeyer, Sarah Hohmann and Lindsay Wolff serving as casketbearers. Honorary casketbearers were Jason Peterson, Jenny Wolff, Josh Hohmann, Kortney Sherburne, Ellie Wolff, Kyle Sherburne, Jake Wolff, Ian Peterson, Emma Wolff, Ben Peterson and Eliana Peterson. Visitation was held 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, at the Redman-Schwartz Funeral Chapel in Aplington, and one hour before services at the church. Memorials may be directed to the family of Berdena Wolff. Berdena Ebelena Wolff was born in Butler County to George and Dena (Harms) Bierman on November 25, 1923. She attended Washington #5 School in rural Butler County. On May 28, 1942, Berdena was united in marriage with Garrelt J. Wolff at the home of her parents in rural Aplington, Iowa. They spent their married lives farming in Grundy County until they retired and moved to Aplington in 1991. They were blessed to share 50 years of marriage before Garrelt’s death on January 1, 1993. Berdena was a faithful and active member of Aplington Baptist Church in Aplington. She served as a deaconess and worked on White Cross and quilting projects. Quilting was an activity that she enjoyed doing with her husband as she made many quilts for her family and special charities. She very much enjoyed flowers and gardening. She also had a love of studying the history of Aplington, and was fondly referred to as Aplington’s historian, co-authoring the book, Early Aplington. Berdena was honored with Aplington’s Citizen of the Year in 2006 and was inducted into the Butler County Hall of Fame in 2004. Berde-

Grassley from page 1 “We expect different results, so it’s not business as usual as the past few years, but we’ve passed legislation out of the House knowing that in the Senate it faced a lot of opposition,” he said. Grassley said he expected Republicans to work to pass tax reform during this year’s session along with possibly some things with collective bargaining. “From the whole makeup of the legislature there will be some change, but that’s based more on the makeup as a whole than it will be proposals and policy,” he said. Grassley said it was “too early to

Finances of Caregiving seminar planned Life expectancy in the U.S. is increasing. So is the possible need for some form of care in the later years. Time and services provided by a family member will increase and have an economic impact on their lives. Careful planning that takes into consideration your wishes and needs while exploring options in the community and your financial resources, can be done in advance. Advanced planning can prevent conflicts between family members; especially those far away, unaware of the time and money provided by those providing the care. Learn how to manage the financial decision-making more effectively by gathering information needed to plan for long term care and examining the multiple ways that care can be arranged; allowing the care receiver to provide input on choice. This fiveweek program, beginning January 17th will meet at Butler County Extension & Outreach, 320 N Main, Allison, IA from 5:30 – 7:30 pm. Following sessions will be on Jan 31st, Feb 7th, 9th and 14th all from 5:30 – 7:30 pm at the Extension Office. To register call (319) 267-2707 or email Nancy Jensen at nejensen@iastate.edu.

I don’t think a decision has been made to say that there won’t be.” The 2017 Iowa General Assembly began Monday and is scheduled to last through April 28.

VIEWPOINTS From The

Cheap Seats TEN YEARS AGO January 10, 2007 Butler County Public Health will perform mini-screenings for any Butler County citizen participating in the Lighten Up Iowa program. Screenings will include a height and weight check, body mass index, blood pressure check and goal setting for weight loss and physical activity. The last couple of weeks have provided quite a challenge for the Eclipse staff as well as employees at the new press facility in Iowa Falls. This issue of the Eclipse is the third published electronically. We are now printing at a new facility in Iowa Falls after having been printed in Grundy Center for more than 30 years. Anniversaries - Don and Lucy (Koop) Miller (60 years on Jan. 16); Keith and Debra Oelmann (30 years on Jan. 14)

TWENTY YEARS AGO January 8, 1997 After 10 years of plain blue license plates, Iowa drivers including those in Butler and Grundy Counties, will soon have new scenic license plates on their cars. The new plates debut Jan. 2 and sport a light city skyline of buildings in the background imposed on a blue sky while a grey farmstead is etched in the foreground. Todd and Lindy Merryweather, owners of T & L’s Pizza Plus, in Parkersburg presented a scholarship check to Margaret Schuck, publicity chair for Dollars for Scholars. After many years of trying, a double birthday celebration, Ann Jensen and Mary Bennett took advantage of one of the nice days last week to enjoy breakfast in Parkersburg. Also joining the festivities were Devid, Teresa and Nichol Rider. Obituary - Margaret E. Paswalk (Dec. 29, 1996); Grace Williams (Jan. 2, 1997). Anniversaries - Don and Lucy (Koop) Miller (50 years on January 16); Egbert abnd Bertha Eckhoff (50 years on Jan. 8); Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Kliege (60 years on Jan. 20) Weddings - Michelle Van Mill, Shell Rock, to Doug Pierce, Waterloo (Oct. 26); Lance Jason Mennen to Tonya Marie Gibbs. Engagement - Peggy Ann Manning, Clarksville, to Clayton Thomas DeBuhr, Eddyville. Wedding set for March 8 in Clarksville.

THIRTY YEARS AGO January 14, 1987 Butler County’s newest elected supervisors, Melvin Bakker and Vern Eichelberger, were sworn into office by Supervisor Neal Wedeking. Wedeking was named chairman of the three-member board. The Parkersburg firemen and ambulance volunteers received the “Citizen of the Year” award last week at the Chamber of Commerce meeting. Robert J. Bauman, general manager of the Butler County Rural Electric Cooperative, announced the board of directors’ approval to sponsor an allexpense-paid Washington D.C. youth tour scholarship for two high school juniors. Anniversaries - Richard and Kathryn Junker (40 years on Jan. 14); Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Kliege (50 years on Jan. 20). Engagement - Donna J. Meester, Dallas, Texas, to Steven B. Loizou, Boston, Mass. Wedding planned for March 23 in Holland, Iowa.

FORTY YEARS AGO January 12, 1977 Last Tuesday the Parkersburg Fire Department was called to the Henry Knock farm located four miles west and one half mile north of New Hartford. Tenant Dale Vry lost 56 head of livestock, including 13 sows and their litters, four calves and two cows. Also hay and equipment were lost. People in Parkersburg would like their community to grow a little but certainly not a lot. Basically they are satisfied with the way it is a recent community survey showed. There were complaints expressed on the 15-page questionairre, but on the whole people consider Parkersburg a “friendly” town and “a great place to live.” The Parkersburg Fire Department was called out in sub-zero weather Saturday to fight two fires in Parkersburg. The first call came in at 2:15 p.m. to the Alvin Dreesman house on Conn Street for a house fire while at 11 p.m. firefighters responded to the Norm Gerdes residence on Sunset Draive, where smoke was coming out of a wall. The Rev. Mark Volker was installed last Saturday as pastor of the Reformed Church of Stout. The native of Holland, Mich. is a graduate of Hope College and Western Theological Seminary. Engagement - Brenda Garthoff, Waterloo, to James W. Everts, Parkersburg. Wedding planned for Feb. 18.

FIFTY YEARS AGO January 11, 1966 According to Supt. Nielsen, the Parkersburg Adult Education Program needs more students. At the present time six people have enrolled for accounting and one person in each of the other three courses. At present time it will be doubtful if typing, stenoscript or English will be offered unless more people enroll. Herman Brocka, Butler County Assessor, announced Monday that first assessors are now working in Butler County. In much of the county the assessing procedure has changed to what is called “station assessing.” Instead of the assessor visiting each farm home, the assessors are stationed in a twon hall or convenient building and everyone notified of the hours and time the assessor will be available in the township. The Butler County auditor’s office has finished compiling the taxes for 1966 to be paid in 1967 for the different districts. Currently the office is busy figuring out the returns for different individuals and properties within the county. The total tax millage for the town of Parkersburg will be 93.920 mills, up from 85.50 mills collected in 1965. The biggest levy will be for the Parkersburg School District which includes this year the levy set aside for the new building site. Engagement - Verla Kay, Parkersburg, to Louis T. Ware, Conrad.

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News Review The 2016 Iowa legislative session started this week and appears to be one to watch closely. For the first time since 1988, Republicans control both the Iowa Senate and House while also holding the governor’s office (with a likely new governor), meaning a more conservative legislative agenda is almost certain. What does that mean? Probably a quicker legislative session, though possibly a louder one. Democrats will need to sway the will of the people to their side (and hope people shout to their Republican legislators) if they hope to pass bills, and Republicans will need to counter that … likely reminding Democrats that voters gave them control. State Senator Bill Dix (R, Shell Rock) gave an idea of what we should expect in the State House in a statement issued the night of the election. “I can promise Iowans that this Republican Senate Majority will implement policies to help create new career opportunities, reduce the size of state government, and improve the quality of life for all Iowans,” he said. Among other issues that Republicans could push the next two years include curbing state spending, cutting corporate taxes, expanding gun rights and tightening access to abortions. Republicans also have a greater chance to fund a plan to address Iowa’s water quality problems, though that could come at the cost of budget cuts to other areas. Butler and northern Grundy County will have some of the best representation in the state. The aforementioned Dix will be Senate Majority Leader this year while Linda Upmeyer (R, Clear Lake), who represents northern Butler County in the State House, will be House Majority Leader and Pat Grassley (R, New Hartford) will again serve as chair of the House Appropriations Committee and as part of the Commerce Committee. Even more interesting, at least from my perspective, is the expected transition from long-time Gov. Terry Branstad to Iowa’s first female top executive, Kim Reynolds. When the transition takes place will depend on when (and if) the Senate confirms Branstad’s appointment to the ambassador role. That could come as early as February, at which time he will resign and Reynolds will serve out the remainder of the term that Branstad was elected to two years ago. If you’ve never been to Iowa’s capitol, it is something to see. Lynnette and I’s first trip together was to Des Moines and the statehouse two years ago, though it was on a day when the legislature wasn’t in session, and I also attended a media session featuring both Branstad and Reynolds there a few years ago … actually sitting across the table from the two during lunch. There’s a large part of me that would like to see the legislature in action. Though I’ll be the first person to admit that I don’t understand how a lot of what goes on there works, it would be fun to see what happens. We’ll keep you updated on happenings at the State House as they pertain to the area. Grassley and Dix generally write newsletters that we’ll print when they’re available and both usually do a public session or two at local libraries that we’ll let you know about and report on. I also follow Grassley and Reynolds on Twitter and will report anything relevant (State Sen. Dix does not have a Twitter account). • • • Last week I had the chance to see one of the best game-winning shots by one of the best high school basketball players I’ve watched as Gladbrook-Reinbeck senior Joe Smoldt sank an off-balance 3-pointer with three seconds left to win a back-and-forth game against AGWSR. In the past 24 years, I’ve covered about 50 all-staters on a regular basis and seen countless others, including a couple that went on to play in the NBA, at least a few times. And, though it’s hard to compare kids from different teams and different eras, it’s something I’ll do from time to time, which begs the question of where Smoldt fits into the mix. A few factors play into how I regard kids. Statistics play a role and so does success of the team, both of which are areas where Joe stands out. His 29.8 points per game lead the state right now and his career 1,672 points are nothing to sneeze at either … he’s on pace to become one of the state’s top 20 career scorers. And teams he’s led have been to the state tournament a couple of times, including winning a title two years ago, so we can check that box off. Next I look at how a kid plays in big games and Joe can check that box, too, having been a two-time all-tournament captain at the state tournament and having averaged about 22 points per game in the postseason the past two years. The final test is the hardest and most subjective. Just how does a kid fare when it comes to the eyeball test? Of the top players I’ve watched, he compares favorably with the best scoring point guards I’ve seen. The most recent comparable player, former Dike-New Hartford standout Carson Parker, will be Joe’s teammate at Upper Iowa next year while the other I think of, former Wapsie Valley standout Brooks McKowen, will be his head coach at UIU. McKowen, Iowa’s career scoring leader and its only player to score 1,000 points in a single season, in a class of his own. At 6-foot-2, Brooks was taller than Joe (who is generously listed at 6-foot-1) and was more responsible for rebounding than Joe has been. Brooks also played in a hyper-aggressive system that allowed him to accumulate more statistics than G-R’s more conservative approach has allowed Joe to get. A better comparison is Parker, whose 47-point substate final performance against top-ranked West Fork his senior year was the most dominant single game I’ve seen. His statistics that year are similar to what Smoldt has been putting up so far this year and any coach would be thrilled to have either one of them. Both are gamers and seemed, at least from a reporter’s perspective, to be good leaders on the court. This is one of those times when I’m not going to take a stand and say one kid is better than the other. I will, however, suggest that if you enjoy high school basketball to take a chance to see Joe play before he graduates.

Just Another Year in Paradise

I hope everyone had a nice restful December! I had vacation days to use so spent many hours at my sewing machine! Maybe not restful but it was certainly fun! Turning the calendar to 2017 was a bit of a shock as I looked at how much I have crammed into the month! Only one day has nothing written on it! Doing a quick check around the office this week found: 1) Holly preparing the latest issue of Clover Comments, letters inviting judges to our fair in June, the agenda for her 4-H & Youth Committee Meeting, watching a webinar about VFD for 4-H’ers, working on parent letters for Staying Safe and getting ready to celebrate her birthday on January 7th! 2) Ruth busy getting the organizational Extension Council Meeting set up and all the forms and information we needed to start the year off correctly, running and assembling the latest issue of Clover Comments (and deciding what color to make each page as we are using up our vast assortment of colors and reducing that by half), putting news releases in the paper and whatever else we throw her way! 3) I have been busy answering emails from the past three weeks, meeting with partners to set up workshops, requesting more information on possible programming, conducting the Organization Extension Council Meeting, writing this column and also a Letter of Recommendation, proofing letters for Holly, cleaning out files, arranging for an energy audit and signing up for workshops! When did life get so busy! We do try and sit down as a staff and catch up with each other at some point each day and see what we can do to help, but sometimes a person just needs to sit down and “get er done!” We have planned a lot of informational meetings in the next couple of months and we hope we have selected programming that fits the needs of Butler County. My programming committee for Extension Council made some recommendations and we are moving forward with the following new additions to our calendar: 1) A Master Conservationist Program working in collaboration with the Iowa DNR, Pheasants Forever and others. This program is being redone at the present time so Butler may very well be a pilot program for the state. 2) A Soil Health Meeting working with NRCS and stressing soil biology and what farmers can do to improve the soil on their land. 3) Holly and the 4-H & Youth Committee made several changes to the fair schedule at their last meeting. All of the Communication Events will be moving to the Saturday of fair! They are hoping this builds up the number of members involved! As you can see, this year promises to be better than ever! We are listening to you and trying to do the things and programs you have stated you want to see! Be sure and join us in all of the new programs we are bringing to Butler County!

Bethel Reformed Church, RCYF Soup Supper Wed., January 11th 5 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7:30 North of Aplington on Hickory Avenue. A student uses a hot glue gun to attach a brace to a project he is making. (John Jensen/Eclipse News-Review photo) From there the kids started exploring. Some of the girls made jewelry, kids were working on a birdhouse, some were working with LED lights â&#x20AC;Ś a couple of students were even working on a wearable helmet with a Go Pro camera attached to the top. Students from the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Talented and Gifted (TAG) program are even making a Makerspace sign using equipment from the carts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are just loving it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handson,â&#x20AC;? Flanigan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is yours. This is whatever you want to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here for you.â&#x20AC;? The TAG students also helped organize the cart. In addition to what the students are doing in study hall, teachers have been able to use materials from the carts in their classrooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the classroom thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be guidance for the Makerspace materials,â&#x20AC;? Flanigan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like, (seventhand eighth-grade science teacher Josie Suchomel) has a reason sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s using the Cubelets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going with the curriculum â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we wanted the carts to do. For teachers we want

to integrate it into the curriculum so it does have a purpose. But in study hall we decided the kids would be allowed to use their creativity. Kids any more are so much on devices, and this is kind of like that unplugged time and getting that creativity flowing again and building with their hands and designing whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jewelry or making a birdhouse or making some lighted LED connection.â&#x20AC;? Flanigan said the Makerspace has already helped kids develop problem solving and teamwork skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids are holding the wood for each other and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing that on their own,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talked about safety â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they know that they need to wear their goggles when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with machines, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking for materials. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re creating their own projects, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just simple little projects, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making cars with little motors. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good project based learning where I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given them the project, but to have that freedom is cool. They are really stimulating themselves with the learning.â&#x20AC;?

The meal will include: Chili, Oyster Stew, Potato Soup, Dinner Roll and Dessert. Baked good auction at 6:00. A free will offering will be accepted for the meal.

From the Falcons’ Desk Dance Girls Perform at Citrus Bowl By KAITLIN MARLETTE This past summer during dance camp, nine drill team members from A-P were chosen as All-American dancers. This gave them the opportunity to go to Florida and perform during the halftime show at the Citrus Bowl. Six of these girls chose to perform in the Citrus Bowl including Sidney Schneiderman, Ellie Wolff, Emily Klinkenborg, Kayleigh Walker, Samantha Lester, and Abby Decker. The routine featured the songs “Chillin It” and “Let Me See Ya Girl” by Cole Swindell. The girls were in Florida from December 27th-January 1st.

They were able to spend some time at Disney World and Universal Studios, but also had lengthy practices with the entire group of selected dancers. Prior to their trip, they had learned the routine using a dvd, so the practices in Florida were used to clean the routine and learn formations. Senior dancer, Ellie Wolff, said about the experience, “This was such a great opportunity for all of us! We made some many memories together as a team. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience and I’m glad I got to be a part of it!” Well done, girls!

A-P Boys Basketball Wins 75-39 By BRADEN GOOD Going into the game we could think nothing less of the team we were about to go up against. Like Aaron Thomas says, “You should not be afraid of anyone, but don’t underestimate them.” Just like every other game, he came in to give us a pep talk. He said, “Tonight, we are going to go out and play our hearts out. Leave it on the court.

Tonight, we are going to play all 15 guys.” Around the end of the second quarter, we put in our newest member, Everett Eggleston. He came to A-P from Grundy Center, and he got his revenge with a steal and a contested lay up from his old friend Braidan Buhrow with the time expiring right after his shot.

2nd grade students with their reindeer

2nd & 3rd Grade Art Projects By AUBREY RODRIGUEZ The Parkersburg second and third grade art students recently completed some art projects. Second graders were introduced to origami in December by teacher Mrs. Graves and shown how to take a simple square piece of paper and fold it into a dimensional form. They made an origami reindeer head. Mrs Graves said, “Each reindeer had “stories” to tell to accompany their projects. You can tell by their expressions that they LOVED these projects. What a happy project to take home and share with their families for Christmas.” Meanwhile, Mrs. Graves also had the chance to show a 3rd grade art class about history and how you can make it into a craft. Puppetry originated many years ago and puppets were used as means of entertainment dating back to the Chinese and medieval times in history. Every student had a chance to draw a puppet from 3 different styles and sizes. A bag was held in front of them waiting for them to choose the kind of puppet they got to use. Students were given ideas ranging from dragons and bears to elephants and sharks!

Rising Sun Karate schools have new owner

Some of the 3rd grade puppets Mrs. Graves said, “The puppets were so cute and they took so much pride into their puppet as you can tell by the photos. I can’t thank the parents, grandparents and volunteers enough that showed up on these special “puppet” days to not only help their own child, but jumped to help offer help and suggestions to all of the puppet makers in the room. It was a very successful project!”

This means that students can continue to attend any of the schools that they would like for any of the classes offered. Sometime in the near future Sensei Teresa and Sempai Terry will hold an open house at each dojo to meet and get to know current and new students. Sensei Teresa and Sempai Terry plan on expanding classes for Martial Arts (weapons training) along with tournament sparring for those who wish to compete on a larger scale. Other areas of expansion can be expected.

A Bell that Rings Memories

The bell has traveled from Minnesota to Mexico. The first part of the journey wasn’t too hard, we transported it in the back of our mini van from Minnesota to Florida, where we live part of the time. The second leg of the journey was more difficult, fitting the forty pound plus bell into a suitcase as part of our luggage from the Tampa airport to the Mexico City airport. Once in Mexico I painted it and mounted it on a new post at Refuge Ranch, where we live part time with our daughter Julie and her large family. We had a little dedication ceremony where my wife read the history of the bell and rang it for the first time at its new home. The bell originally was a country school bell. When my wife’s grandmother was a young school girl (between 1905-1913) she, along with the other students, had to come in from recess when the bell rang. Through a series of events my wife’s grandma and her husband acquired the bell, and it became a fixture on their family farm. On the afternoon of August 24, 1927, grandma was going into labor with my wife’s mother. She rang the bell so that her husband, my wife’s grandfather, would come in from the field where he was setting shocks of grain. The bell eventually ended up on my wife’s family farm where I first saw it when I started dating her. Now the bell is heard every day by our grandchildren in Mexico when it’s rung to call everyone to mealtime. The bell is special, irreplaceable, because it has a family history that spans over a hundred years. Yes, lots of memories, memories that ring a bell! It’s good to hold on to memories, especially good memories. It’s particularly important to remember the good which God has brought into our lives in the past that we’re still blessed by in the present. It’s interesting that one of the greatest and most frequent sins of God’s people in the Old Testament was their sin of forgetting God and forgetting what God had done for them. When we face challenges and struggles it’s good to reflect on how God’s been there for us in the past. Remembering like this can ring a bell for us, a hopeful note that He will also be here for us today! “Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits...” (Psalm 103:2)

BY SHANNON RIES

2017! And yet another year has come. We as Christ’s followers are one step closer to being Home in paradise with Him. But there are still so many around us who have not yet believed. There is work to be done by us. We have been called to shine brightly in the darkness and to be good role models who represent the King in all that we do, say, and are. “Seen and not heard” Our actions should display our new life in God, not omly just on Sunday mornings when we are in church with our fellow believers, but also Monday through Saturday when we are at work, in the store, or going to school. There is always someone watching us to see if the faith we claim is for real or just a show. I am sure that we all have heard the word “hypocrite” before, meaning one who says one thing and yet does another. Let’s strive together so that when others are watching us, they are seeing Christ played lout in our every-day lives. We have all been gifted by God in different ways. Are we using our gifts for Him or for our own glory? Phillipians 2:5-11 explains that when Jesus came the first time, He came as a humble servant, representing His Kingship in a whole different way as a servant. He set the example for us. When He returns again, He is coming as the Almighty King to bring His followers home with Him and then to deal out justice to the world. With all of our gifts, we have been called to love as He loves. There is work to be done. There are people to be reached. There is service to be given. Let’s all do our parts this year to make His name known and shown here on the earth around us. Matthew 6 in the Lord’s prayer, “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.”

FAMILY FEATURES

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always easy to create meals that are both nutritious and satisfying. Managing intake of added sugar and saturated fat takes effort and planning, but transforming your favorite recipes into more nutritious family meals can be simpler than you imagined. The nutrient-dense mushroom masterfully bridges that divide, offering rich and meaty flavor while still being fat-free, low-calorie and low-sodium. All mushrooms contain vitamin D at various levels, which helps build strong bones. Additionally, mushrooms are a source of B vitamins, including riboflavin and niacin, which help provide energy by breaking down proteins, fats and carbohydrates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mushrooms are an incredibly versatile ingredient,â&#x20AC;? said Mary Jo Feeney, MS, RDN, nutrition research consultant for the Mushroom Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can be the meaty star of a vegetarian dish or a nutritious complement to burgers and other hearty recipes.â&#x20AC;? For a healthy weekday lunch, consider building a salad bowl around the earthy mushroom. Pair roasted or marinated mushrooms with crunchy vegetables and nutty grains, beans and pulses, and top with a simple vinaigrette or squeeze of citrus. For lightened-up versions of classics such as burgers and meatballs, try adopting a culinary technique known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Blend.â&#x20AC;? Simply chop any mushroom variety to match the consistency of ground meat, blend the mushrooms into the meat and cook the mushroom-meat blend to complete the recipe. Substituting at least 25 percent of the meat for mushrooms can enhance the taste of your favorite meaty meals, deliver an extra serving of nutrient-rich vegetables and trim calorie and fat intake. For additional mushroom recipes that incorporate the blending technique, visit mushroominfo.com.

D-NH girls still looking for first 2017 win

Falcon boys end week with 2 more wins

SUMNER, CEDAR RAPIDS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Dike-New Hartford girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball team lost to two Cougar teams on Tuesday and Saturday in Sumner and Cedar Rapids, respectively. The Wolverines were held to five points in the first three quarters of a 30-12 loss to Sumner-Fredericksburg and fell behind early in a 60-46 nonconference loss to Class 5A school Cedar Rapids Kennedy on Saturday. Ellie Foster mustered six of D-NHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 points against Sumner-Fred, with the Cougars dominating the boards by more than a 3-to-1 margin. Jaydlin Seehase, Ivy Hirsch and Becca Pagel all scored six points each for S-F, with Seehase blocking three shots, pulling down nine rebounds and dishing out three assists to do a bit of everything for the Cougars. Baylee Petersen and Sydney Petersen scored four and two points to round out the scoring for the Wolverines.

STATE CENTER, PARKERSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Aplington-Parkersburg boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball team ended a successful first week of the new year with wins against West Marshall and Denver last Thursday and Friday, respectively. A-P has won three straight and five of its last six games. The Falcons used a big third quarter to dispatch West Marshall 71-57, with Carter Cuvelier scoring 21 points and Alec Oberhauser chipping in 14 points and team bests of nine rebounds and six assists. A-P outscored West Marshall 24-12 in the third quarter to power its way to victory, hitting a team total of nine 3-pointers in the process.

Falcon boys bury Spartans with long-range shots Turnovers, missed shots sink A-P girls By JAKE RYDER Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG – Aaron Thomas wants the Aplington-Parkersburg boys’ basketball team to be ready to find other ways to score beyond the 3-point shot. But A-P’s head coach couldn’t deny the momentum his Falcons had against Grundy Center on Tuesday night. A-P drained 10 3-pointers in the first half and added four more after the break in a 75-39 romp over the Spartans at Aplington-Parkersburg High School. Carter Cuvelier led the Falcons with 17 points, doing all of his work inside of the 3-point arc, but Grant Truax and Alec Oberhauser led the way with four 3-pointers a piece, scoring 14 and 12 total points, respectively. “We’ve been shooting the ball well in practice,” Truax said. “When we’re shooting the ball like that we’re going to be hard to beat.” The Falcons burst out to an 11-0 start powered by two treys from Oberhauser and one from Truax. The Spartans scored the next four points to close the gap to seven points but that was as close as Grundy Center got, as A-P flourished from the field and ended the first quarter up 30-8. A-P was up 52-19 at halftime. In addition to Truax and Oberhauser’s sharpshooting, Chase Kling made two 3-pointers and Cade Alberts, Sam Bachman, Dylan Ellis and Coby Hoff all scored one 3-pointer each. It was the fourth time in the first six games that A-P had hit at least nine 3-pointers as a team. “I think it was just good execution,” Thomas said. “We’re going to be a 3-point shooting team, it’s what we do well. … I think we also got a lot done in transition, really pushed the ball, pushed the tempo and didn’t let their defense set up which got us some good baskets.” Bryce Flater scored nine points to lead the Spartans, with Chase Boren adding eight points. While A-P’s longrange shooting hurt Grundy Center, shooting 9-of-47 (19 percent) from the field didn’t help matters. “We wanted to contest shots and make nothing easy,” Truax said, “and if they make shots, they make shots, we just have to keep playing.” A-P was hard at work after the Christmas weekend with three practices and scrimmages against South Hamilton and Webster City before classes resumed. Getting all the guys on the same page for 2017 was the key in a busy week for the Falcons, with Grundy Center the first of three matchups in the week. “We worked on our rebounding, being better defensively,” Thomas said. “I’m really proud of our effort, all 15 guys worked hard and did what they were supposed to do in setting up that team win. “It’s good to get a lot of guys in tonight because with back-to-back games coming up you never know who you might need to get in to play some quality minutes and I like our depth right now.” All in all, it was a quality way to start the new year. “This got us back on track after losing a close one to Hudson [on Dec. 22],” Oberhauser said. “It feels good.” The Falcons played at Jesup on Tuesday and are at Union on Friday.

Missed opportunities sink Falcon girls in 49-31 loss The Aplington-Parkersburg girls’ basketball team had the size advantage. The easy buckets just didn’t fall for the Falcons, and early turnovers put A-P on its heels early in a 49-31 loss to Grundy Center at Aplington-Parkersburg High School last Tuesday. Dani Johnson led the Falcons with eight points and was one of three players that grabbed a team-high four rebounds, along with Kaitlyn Mohwinkle and Kassi Rice. The Falcons were 13-of-46 (28 percent) from the floor and were only able to put nine points on the board by halftime, trailing 25-9 at the break. “We probably missed eight or nine shots within 2-3 feet of the basket and we’ve got to have some of those,” A-P head coach Jason Berkey said. Neither team had its offense working well in the first quarter, with Grundy Center able to pull ahead to an early 13-6 lead in part thanks to leading scorer Hailey Wallis, who scored seven of her game-high 16 points in the opening eight minutes. The Spartans’ defense cracked down in the second quarter, holding A-P to one Johnson bucket and a Sophia Jungling free throw heading into the half. “They got some easy steals early and you’ve got to give them credit, they came out and took it to us early,” Berkey said. “We were playing back on our heels and we told them they’re a quick and athletic team, that’s what they’re going to do.” Kylie Willis (15 points) and Brooke Flater (10) joined Wallis as double-digit scorers. Flater added five rebounds and Wallis and Willis had four rebounds each as the young Spartans played nearly even with the Falcons off the glass, with 23 rebounds to A-P’s 24. “We hit the boards hard and played with a lot of physicality,” Grundy Center head coach Matt Lindeman said, “which we needed to, they’re a bigger team than we are and that was a huge part.” Mohwinkle added three steals and

(Jake Ryder/Eclipse News-Review photo) two assists for A-P with Megan Johnson scoring seven points off the bench and Kassi Rice contributing six points. “We didn’t roll over and I liked our effort in the second half,” Berkey said, “but we have to put a full game together and we can’t get down 12-14 points to a team like this.” A-P traveled to Jesup on Tuesday and stays on the road for a meeting with Union on Friday.

By JAKE RYDER Eclipse News-Review HUDSON – Trent Johnson would rather the Dike-New Hartford wrestling team take their lumps now than later. Johnson set a career milestone with his 150th victory at a Hudson triangular with SH-BCLUW last Thursday, but he focused more on the junior varsity wrestlers that were asked to step up to fill a short-handed Wolverines roster to stay competitive against the Storm and the Pirates. D-NH split the duals, with a 50-30 win over SH-BCLUW and a 44-33 loss to Hudson. “Had a lot of guys missing, lot of JV guys in, and they sure fought,” Johnson said. “Most of them didn’t even know they were going to wrestle until today, … they wrestled hard and that’s all you can ask. Not mad, not disappointed, just proud of them.” The Wolverines battled without Jacob Ragsdale and Nathan Schmitt, who missed Thursday’s meet due to illness and injury, respectively, and had to do without Tanner Smith in the dual with Hudson after hurting his shoulder in a match with the Storm’s Ryland DuChane. D-NH wrestling coach Tony Norton noted that the Wolverines “have plenty to work on,” but echoed Johnson’s praise of the young grapplers who stepped in on Thursday. Johnson got the night off to a positive start, notching win No. 150 with a pinfall of SH-BCLUW’s Logan Gunderson in 2 minutes, 25 seconds. “I didn’t even realize I was close until (Wednesday),” Johnson said. “After that I was just hoping that I’d be able to get a match – I didn’t want my 150th match to be a forfeit. “After I got off the mat a bunch of little kids came up and gave me hugs and high-fives so I know they look up to me, and now they know what goals they can achieve and make for themselves.” Johnson later received a forfeit against Hudson, one of four Wolverines with two wins on the night. Nick Durnin won two matches at 182 pounds, one by pin and the other a 6-3 decision over Hudson’s Cam Fulcher. Heavyweight Chase Ahrends pinned both of his opponents and Grant Bixby won a 10-0 major decision at 120 pounds over Hunter Allen

Johnson won the match by fall at 2 minutes, 25 seconds, the 150th win of his career. (Jake Ryder/Eclipse News-Review photo) and then won by pinfall against Hudson. Scoring single wins for D-NH on Thursday were Tristan Cleveland (145 pounds), Noah Heathcott (170), Daniel Graves (195), Ethan Huntington (220), Keaton Dudden (138), Zack Nicol (106) and Blain Stewart (120). The Wolverines and Pirates were neck-and-neck during the middle part of Thursday’s dual, but three pins in the last four matches for Hudson sealed D-NH’s defeat. After Johnson recovered from a dislocated shoulder last season to reach the state championship match, he understands the importance of getting healthy in time for when the matches matter most. “We’d love to have our team the best we can be right now,” Johnson said, “but for them as individuals, we’d rather have them be out now rather than later.” Dike-New Hartford 50, SH-BCLUW 30 145 – Tristan Cleveland (D-NH) pinned Mason Sodders 3:50. 152 – Trent Johnson (D-NH) pinned Logan Gunderson 2:25. 160 – Ryland DuChane (SH-BCLUW) won by injury default over Tanner Smith. 170 – Noah Heathcott (D-NH) pinned Cody Richards 1:31. 182 – Nick Durnin (D-NH) pinned Cody Houck 1:19. 195 – Daniel Graves (D-NH) major dec.

Wolverine girls push 3rdranked Knights to OT Wolverine boys roll past Union By JAKE RYDER Eclipse News-Review DIKE – The Dike-New Hartford girls’ basketball team showed how potentially dangerous it could be later this season in a meeting with Class 3A No. 3 Union last Friday night. The Knights survived an upset bid by the Wolverines with a 42-40 overtime victory at Dike-New Hartford High School, but Bruce Dall saw progress from his team even in defeat. “A young, inexperienced team like ours playing a team No. 3 in 3A and we had a chance to win,” Dall said, “I don’t think you can ask for any more.” When Union pulled out to a 32-28 lead with about a minute left in regulation, Sydney Petersen sunk a corner three the next time down the court to pull back within one, 32-31. Union hit the front end of a 1-and-1 on the next possession and on D-NH’s ensuing drive, Carlee Dove was in the right place to bank a short-range jumper off the glass and in with seven seconds left in regulation, eventually forcing overtime. Union’s Maggie Driscol sank her sixth 3-pointer of the night at the halfway mark of the overtime period to put the Knights up three, and the Wolverines missed out on two opportunities to answer, with a turnover and a missed 3 before Petersen got to the basket with 36 seconds left to get back within one. Union again hit the front end of two 1-and-1 free-throw situations, but a Petersen corner 3 missed the mark with 18 seconds left and Foster’s attempted equalizer from beyond the arc with seven seconds remaining was tipped. From there, the Knights hit two more free throws to go up five and a late Foster 3-pointer at the buzzer was the Wolverines’ last gasp. It was a far cry from the situation D-NH found itself in at the break. The Wolverines were down 19-10 at halftime but found life in the third quarter thanks in part to Foster, who scored all of her team-leading 13 points in the second half and OT, including 10 in the third quarter that ended with D-NH within one, 27-26. Dall said he put Foster in an off-guard position to make things happen on the baseline against Union, who committed to defending the perimeter more, and the 5-foot-9 youngster delivered. He said that’s what was largely missing from a 30-12 loss to Sumner-Fredericksburg earlier in the week. “We wanted them to make things happen instead of standing around,” Dall said. “We got what we wanted.” Defending down low was another underclassman, the 6-foot-2 sophomore Dove, who showed discipline in

defending the basket—collecting just two rebounds and two blocks but disrupting a lot of offensive possessions when the Knights needed points under the basket. “She played behind and we needed no back-side help,” Dall said. “We were able to get out on shooters. … It was a bit of a coming out for her.” Whether she was just in silent shock or was cool and confident, Dove showed no emotion after banking in the game-tying shot to force overtime, her only scoring attempt of the night. “Maybe five out of 10 times that will surprise me,” Dall said of Dove’s composure in hitting the big shot. “But she has it in her and it was good to see.” Baylee Petersen led the rebounding effort with nine boards and chipped in 10 points for the Wolverines while twin sister Sydney scored 12 points. The D-NH girls played Wapsie Valley on Monday and traveled to Waterloo Columbus on Tuesday. Union D-NH

STATE CENTER, PARKERSBURG – The Aplington-Parkersburg girls’ basketball team finished the week on a high note with a 61-42 win over Denver at Aplington-Parkersburg High School last Friday night. That victory came a night after the Falcons came up a bit short against Class 3A No. 9 West Marshall in a 55-44 loss at State Center, unable to hold off a hot shooting Trojans team that stormed back in the second half after A-P entered halftime with a 2617 lead. Maddie Waller scored 10 points to lead the Falcons against West Marshall, as Kaitlyn Mohwinkle had six points and a team-high 14 rebounds to go with five blocked shots, part of a defensive effort that forced the Trojans to convert from the outside. Fortunately for West Marshall, they were able to do so in the second half, knocking down a total of nine 3-pointers on 33 attempts in the game and using a 17-4 third quarter to turn the tides on the Falcons. Isabelle Gradwell’s 15 points, which included an 8-of-12 effort at the freethrow line, helped the Trojans hang on and avert A-P’s upset bid.
