Volume 91 – Number 19

Survey results show low 9-12 substance abuse issues

By JOHN JENSEN The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER —A New Hartford native and long-time elementary teacher will assume a new role next school year as the new principal at Grundy Center Elementary.

Sammons has taught first, second, third and fourth grade for 18 years beginning in Cresco and most recently in Aplington, where he has been for the past 12 years. He also student-taught kindergarten.

Sammons said he has been filling leadership roles in Aplington for the past several years and began feeling the call to move into a more formal leadership role a few years ago.

“I feel the ultimate leadership role obviously is the principal. You get to affect so many kids,” he said.

“It was time for me to make that move because a lot of people depend on me at my school for leadership. I think this is going to be a good fit.”

Sammons said he developed a respect for Grundy Center while growing up nearby and working in Aplington.

“I love that it’s a small school; I love that it’s all one building here,” he said.

Sammons described himself as a teacher who is positive, professional and personal and I believe those are also good qualities of leaders and teachers.

“They’re also good qualities that kids can depend on,” he said.

Sammons said he is creative in

“I like to try new initiatives, new curriculums,” he said. “We’ve had a pen pal that’s a Broadway actress, tied it to social studies, literacy and math. I just like to find new ways

to engage kids. I’m kind of a creative problem solver is a way people might describe me as well.

Sammons admitted he is nervous stepping into the new role, though he said he is up to the challenge. He has already had a chance to meet

with current building principal Lisa Miller who is retiring at the end of the school year.

Sammons’ hiring must still be approved by the Grundy Center School Board.

New Hartford native named new Grundy Center Elementary principal

By JOHN JENSEN The Grundy Register A recent survey shows low instances of drug and alcohol use in Grundy County high schools.

The survey, filled out anonymously by 130 youth at BCLUW, DikeNew Hartford, Gladbrook-Reinbeck and Grundy Center High Schools, showed rates well below the national average among the percentage of students who have tried or used tobacco products and alcohol.

Grundy County Public Health Team Lead Katie Thornton-Lang, who conducted the survey, said she found the difference in percentage of students who reported having used alcohol and tobacco interesting.

“There was something there that stood out to me,” he said.

According to the survey, 13.1 percent of Grundy County high school students who responded said they had tried cigarette smoking compared to a national average in 2013 of 40 percent. 3.1 percent of Grundy County students said they currently smoke cigarettes compared to a national average of more than 15 percent while 4.6 percent of Grundy County students said they currently use smokeless tobacco compared to a national average of more than 20 percent.

Survey results for alcohol use also showed a dramatically lower rate for Grundy County high schoolage students, though the difference was not as large. 41.5 percent of students surveyed said they have had at least one drink of alcohol compared to a national average of more than 65 percent while 13.1 percent of Grundy County high school students said they had a drink before the age of 13 compared to a national average of just less than 20 percent. 16.2 percent of surveyed Grundy County high schoolers said they currently drink alcohol and 14.6 percent said they had five or more alcoholic beverages in a row compared to national averages of more than 30 percent and 20 percent.

schedule for this year’s Fair was announced recently on the Fair Web site.

This year’s Fair will be held Wednesday, July 22 through Sunday, July 26 with both livestock shows and grandstand events planned each day.

Fair Board member Jerry Schmidt said this year’s schedule appears to be the best in years.

“We’ve added some really good bands, our tractor pull looks really, really good, our kids attendance sounds really promising from a 4-H standpoint,” he said.

Music will include a concert from the Neil Hewitt Band Thursday as well as dances with Madd Hoss Jackson Friday and Wild Card Saturday. For the second consecutive year the Grundy County Fair will feature side-by-side tractor pulls on Friday, with the Prairieland Pullers garden tractor pull and Midwest Pullers truck and tractor pull going on at the same time. Saturday will feature the traditional Fair demo derby and trailer races followed by fireworks.

Schmidt said the numbers of kids exhibiting at the Fair could be up this year as the recent emphasis on the Clover Kids program for younger children is beginning to pay off.

“I’m really a strong advocate of

that Clover Program,” Schmidt said while noting that his children had been involved in it.

Schmidt added that the Fair Board is attempting to get more horses for the horse show as well as find a way that the horse exhibitors can keep their animals at the Fairgrounds instead of having to bring them for the show and then take them home.

“The exhibitors would like that,” he said. “I don’t blame them. They don’t feel like they’re part of the whole fair.”

Schmidt said he was unsure the horses would be able to stay this year, due to the need for stalls, though he said it could happen in the future. The Fair Board has talked about renovating a facility, possibly even the horse arena, so that the animals could stay there.

“If we do it this year it will be some rented stalls,” he said.

If the horse arena were renovated with some sort of covering, Schmidt said there is a possibility it could also be used for other shows, including cattle.

“Financing is always an issue,” he said.

New to the 2015 Fair will be a Fair Parade, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on the opening day of the event. Details are still being worked out for the event, though Schmidt suggested

that king and queen candidates could be a part of the parade and that fair exhibitors as well as tractors from the Everyday Tractor Ride could be involved. The schedule shows the parade lining up at the Grundy Center Baptist Church.

“We’re just trying to come up with some new ideas … something new,” Schmidt said. “Darwin Cannegeiter heads up that tractor ride, he’s the one that’s trying to get a tractor parade, and we’re trying to add this to it.”

Following the parade on Wednesday will be Family Fun Night, which will include the crowning of the Fair King and Queen.

Also new to the Fair this year after a several year absence are Figure-8 car races, which will be held Thursday night.

Schmidt said there are a lot of new, younger Fair Board members who seem to have new ideas and energy that seems to be paying off for the Fair.

“They have young ideas,” he said.

“We hope everyone liked (last year’s Fair). That’s our goal, to improve it all the time.”

Group seeks Council OK for bow range

By JOHN JENSEN The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER — A group of Grundy Center archers approached the Grundy Center City Council Monday about the possibility of using city land to build an archery range.

Speaking for the group, Jeff Carson explained that the range could be built on unused land located on the city’s north side behind the city’s concrete pile.

“It’s pretty well slugged up with fallen trees and I think we saw a couple of steel barrels in there and, just timber that doesn’t get used,” he said. “What we’d like to do is we’d like to resurrect the Grundy Center Archery Club.”

Carson said the group has already gotten quotes from insurance companies regarding liability insurance and is looking at possibly incorporating the club so that it could carry the insurance. He said the group is considering erecting approximately six shooting platforms and between 12 and 18 targets.

“We’d like to just clean that area up and, I guess, do something that’s fun for us, as we all enjoy hunting and could do that. There’s a bunch of us that shoot in our back yards and we have to have insurance policies to do that. If we have a place that’s designated for that it would be a lot better.”

Councilmen appeared in favor of allowing the range, with Chad Hamann expressing favor and Mayor Brian Buhrow saying he saw no potential issues about it.

IN OTHER BUSINESS, Council passed the first reading of an ordinance amending zoning at the Creekside, Inc.-owned property from agricultural to R2 residential, which would allow the construction of both single and multi-unit residential units. The Council declined, however, to push the ordinance to a third reading, with Councilman Dave Stefl wishing to give the public a chance to comment on the issue.

Council also passed the first reading of an ordinance cutting compensation for Planning and Zoning Committee members. They then waived the rules requiring additional readings of the ordinance.

Stefl said he has heard several comments about vehicles speeding through downtown and asked if there was any way the speed limit could be dropped five miles per hour. Police Chief Doug Frost said the Iowa Department of Transportation sets the speed limit on state highways and that he will look into what it would take to make the change.

Buhrow also spoke briefly about the possible installation of netting at the Wilhelm Sports Complex’s baseball and softball diamonds.

Buhrow and Council members noted that there have been a number of people struck by balls leaving the field and that the netting could lessen the possibility of injuries.

The next Council meeting will be June 1.

The smallmouth project

By KEVIN WILLIAMS Grundy County Conservation Director The story begins back around 2010. That is when we contracted to have a relief valve and culvert installed at Grundy County Lake.

After several years of high water tables, winds and waves had caused severe damage to the fishing jetties.

It was decided that installing a culvert and valve would allow the level to be controlled. This was necessary before the costly repairs to the jetties were done.

The valve was deemed necessary so that at times of high water in the creek, rough fish could not enter the lake through this pipe. The work was accomplished and everything went according to plan. By the way, the system has worked very well since installation.

But there was an unexpected benefit to the project that we discovered later that summer. As the water ex-

ited the pipe into the creek, a plunge pool developed. A seasonal that summer, Austin Cox, decided to wet a line at that stream pool after work one afternoon resulting in a small-

mouth bass.

So that is how we eventually came to the project that is being completed this year. That project being the smallmouth bass habitat stream improvement work at Grundy County Lake.

The project began with a fish species survey performed by Iowa Fisheries section personnel on July 12, 2013. The survey results provided 22 species of fish highlighted by several species of Darters and the primary object of our search - Smallmouth Bass.

While surveying the stream several elements of good stream habitat were identified. There are gravel bottom areas scattered with a few larger boulders. Also with the extreme meandering of the stream, at every outside corner we found adequate depth. But at most of these sharp bends existed a deterioration of the stream banks. These winding streams will eventually cut through leaving just an oxbow behind. Ultimately, it was decided that this stream was a great candidate for increasing structure and water with a goal of holding Smallmouth Bass and other target species year round.

The project was approved for funding through Iowa’s Fish Habitat Grant Program. The project objectives were to utilize several fish habitat designs and stabilize several high risk stream bank corners. The project will stabilize 600 feet of

One of the boulder weirs established to increase water velocity and create a plunge pool. Photo courtesy of Kevin Williams stream bank.

The habitat structures being created along the project area are vortex weirs which consist of larger rocks placed across the flow providing a scour pool below the structure. With this completed we gain structure and depth for fish to utilize. Two J Hook structures will be constructed, placing larger rocks in a J shaped form that also provide habitat and water depth. And two examples of a third habitat design are in place called Root Wad structures. These structures consist of large root wads that are still attached to the trunk and tied

into the bank leaving only the root ball exposed. These examples will provide a great education tool for local school groups, local anglers, and other county conservation boards and state fisheries staff wishing to see different habitat structures in action.

These improvements should serve to provide better fisheries for at least two of our native game fish – Channel Catfish and Smallmouth Bass.

With increased structure in theory we should see an increase in baitfish along with our target species.

But the proof is in the pudding as they say. Creel surveys of local anglers will provide the information that these fish are being caught. The Iowa Fisheries staff will be performing another survey of the fish populations in a couple of years and we all will be anxious to see those results. Thanks, Austin!

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“Conditions were nearly ideal in much of the state last week and as a result farmers were able to make tremendous progress. As of Sunday, 68 percent of corn and 11 percent of soybeans have been planted, both ahead of the five-year average,” Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture. gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass. usda.gov/ia. The report summary follows here:

From The

Cheap Seats

Do you have certain things you say over and over again to the point where it becomes almost amusing when you say them? Maybe they are clever sayings that you heard once and incorporated into your personal lexicon. Maybe it’s a family saying. Maybe you say them and don’t even realize you are saying them.

I like to call these “pet phrases,” and I confess that I tend to use them a lot. So much in fact that the other night my girlfriend and I had a fullblown conversation about them with enough laughs that people in the restaurant knew we were having fun!

About.com defines a pet phrase as “an informal term for an expression frequently used by an individual in speech and/or writing.” It adds that “a pet phrase may be widely known (a cliché, for instance) or peculiar to the

By JOHN JENSEN individual who employs it.”

A lot of our pet phrases are pretty mundane. Statements like: “It’s all good,” “I’m glad,” “It is what it is” and one I only learned recently, “True That,” have simple meanings that are pretty self explanatory. Other phrases I like to use mean a little more. Around the office I’ve been known to say things like “Do it well or don’t do it at all,” “We’ll make it work,” or one I wrote about a couple of weeks ago, “Reasonable complaints will be handled reasonably.” I also describe our philosophy at the paper as “Journalism with a soft pen,” which is actually a phrase the first publisher I ever worked for used frequently. I didn’t understand it then but do much more now.

Occasionally one of these phrases gains additional traction – enough that it gets national play and becomes part of the language. Lawyer Johnnie Cochran’s use of the pet phrase “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit” in his successful defense of O.J. Simpson during 1995’s trial of the century. On a much more trivial note, Homer Simpson (of “The Simpsons” fame) uses the pet phrase “Doh!” ad nauseam.

The funny thing about these phrases is that I find them hard to remember until they come up. As I was writing this column the other night and was struggling to remember the details of our very fun conversation, I asked my girlfriend to help me remember a few of the phrases we came up with.

Though she recalled a couple that I had forgotten, we both basically drew blank thoughts. One came up as I was talking to her, and I wrote it on my list,

Compassion and Truth

By ROBBY GRAMMES Colfax Center Presbyterian Church Matthew 9:36, “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”

Just a few days ago, most of the world was brought up to speed on Bruce Jenner’s journey from former Olympian to his new “identity as a woman.” This has been a long winding journey for Jenner—one that has taken him through several marriages and numerous children. Now, he has undergone surgery and is pumping his body full of hormones because “his whole life has been leading up to this.” In thinking about the new sexual revolution that is upon us, how does the Church respond to those who struggle with sexual identity?

What hope do we have to offer people who feel “trapped” in their bodies? I do think that the starting point is having compassion. In the passage above, as Jesus gazed out upon the vast crowds that followed Him, the Bible says that He had compassion. He was moved with pity. He was broken by what broke them. There is a temptation to reject, despise and laugh at those within the transgendered community. This must not be the case for the Christian.

Russell Moore (Southern Baptist Ethics Commission) writes, “First of all, we should avoid the temptation to laugh at these suffering souls. We do not see our transgendered neighbors as freaks to be despised. They feel alienated from their identities as men or women and are seeking a solution to that in self-display or in surgery or in pumping their bodies with the other sex’s hormones. In a fallen universe, all of us are alienated, in some way, from who we were designed to be. That alienation manifests itself in different ways in different people.”

but I know there are several phrases that we use which are not on the list.

• • • Our staff wrapped up our second annual community and tourism guide last week after more than a month of work and are excited about what we came up with. The informally dubbed “Grundy Guide” was launched by our paper and our sister paper in Conrad last year to much success. This year’s guide builds on what we felt we did well and is a better publication this time around.

Many times if you look at these guides from year to year not a lot changed.

That was a pitfall we wanted to avoid and did so by revamping the look and much of the content.

Our editorial team added sections to this year’s guide on community festivals and events. There is also a section devoted specifically to the Grundy County Fair and a section devoted to area high school athletic success. It’s a section that we’re very proud of and one we believe you will enjoy.

The guide will be included in your Grundy Register later this month and free copies will be available throughout the area. If you need extra copies, please drop by our office to take as many as you need free of charge.

• • • The month of May might be the most incredible month of the year to live in small-town Iowa. Think about what you want and need to do this month, whether it be with family and friends, at home or even on the farm – there’s an incredible amount going on.

The most obvious thing is the end of the school year and upcoming graduation ceremonies. Though it has been more than 25 years since I graduated from high school I still remember those final few weeks, about how bitter-sweet it felt knowing that kids I might never see many of the kids I had grown to know over the past several years. Even though I only went to school in Fairfield for a little over four and one-half years (we moved there when I was in eighth grade), I had still developed friendships. I’m not usually a person who looks too much at the past, but I confess that if I had to do high school over again I would do a lot of things differently, not the least of which would be being more laid back and friendly.

With the end of the school year comes the end of the spring sports season, which I always feel ends before it really feels like it has started. Time-wise the season isn’t that much different than the fall season, though the early part of spring sports is so dramatically affected by weather that it really doesn’t get going until mid-season. I feel like the track season doesn’t really start until the Drake Relays, and that was less than two weeks ago. By this time next week we’ll be talking about who we expect to qualify for state meets.

Living in rural Iowa you also cannot forget our livelihoods, the family farms. Every day as I drive between Reinbeck and Grundy Center I see guys out in the fields rushing to get their crops in. And after a dry window in April it seems that we’ve hit a wet period that will almost certainly lead to anxiety among those who didn’t get their corn in the ground yet.

Finally, May brings the first time in months that it really feels good to get outside. I’ve been able to leave the windows open all night at home for the first time these last few nights and waking up to fresh air hearing the sounds of the season and thinking about what I want to throw on the grill is a wonderful feeling.

Because we live in a sinful world, all of us are alienated. When it comes to those who are transgendered, it is just easier to visibly see. As we seek to have the compassion of Christ, we also know that we have God’s truth to offer to those who are struggling. Compassion is vitally important, but compassion without truth can never lead to change. The Bible teaches that maleness and femaleness are part of God’s providential design to reflect His glory. He is the great Architect and Designer, and within His handiwork there are no flaws. Any time someone is struggling with their identity, they are in a larger sense wrestling with autonomy and independence. Again, this is the great struggle of all people—created in God’s image, we long for our independence from Him. This is one of the devastating and deceitful consequences of sin. With our transgendered neighbors—their desire for independence and autonomy leads them to try and separate their “real self” from the person that God has created them to be. Therefore, body part and chromosomes can be jettisoned in their declaration of independence. What is needed for those struggling with sexual identity is the same truth that is needed for all—identity in Christ. Resting in and submitting to Him. He is the Great Lover of the soul; He can grant peace and reconciliation with the Father; He puts an end to the great search for autonomy and independence, because we were created (male/female) by Him, through Him and for Him. As St. Augustine once wrote, “Our hearts are restless, until they can find rest in you.” I would like to point you to Russell Moore’s excellent article at: http://www.russellmoore.com/2015/04/24/what-should-the-church-say-tobruce-jenner/ as well as Rosario Butterfield’s testimony at http://resources. thegospelcoalition.org/library/homosexuality-and-christian-faith

CROP REPORT Dry weather allowed Iowa farmers to make excellent progress in spring planting during the week ending May 3, 2015, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 5.6 days suitable for fieldwork.

Although the primary activity during the week was planting, other activities included fertilizer and herbicide application, as well as seedbed preparation.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 11 percent short, 84 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 13 percent short, 82 percent adequate and 3 percent surplus. North central Iowa reported the highest topsoil moisture level with 99 percent rated adequate to surplus, while southwest Iowa recorded the highest subsoil moisture at 97 adequate to surplus.

Over one-half of Iowa’s corn acreage was planted last week, the largest percentage planted during this week in over 20 years. Sixtyeight percent of the corn crop has been planted, 8 days ahead of last year and the 5-year average. Farmers in central Iowa led the way with 80 percent of their corn crop planted. Despite progress made in planting, corn emergence remains behind normal. Soybean planting reached 11 percent complete, 5 days ahead of 2014, and 4 days ahead of the average. Ninety-six percent of the oat crop has been planted, nearly 2 weeks ahead of last year, and 12 days ahead of normal. Oats emerged reached 63 percent, one week ahead of last year, and 4 days ahead of normal. Emergence continues to lag behind in north central and northeast Iowa, with only 55 and 50 percent of oats emerged, respectively.

Pasture condition improved to 64 percent good to excellent. Pastures are starting to come along with the warmer temperatures, though cool weather slowed growth throughout the beginning of the season. There were reports of cattle being turned onto pasture and spring calving nearing completion. Poultry producers are still concerned with the recent outbreak of avian influenza.

In school or at home, the newspaper is a textbook for life.

of county government. The theme for this year’s celebration is Counties Moving America Forward: The Keys are Transportation and Infrastructure.

The County Engineer and the Secondary Road Department are responsible for the supervision of construction, maintenance, including snow removal and gravel re-surfacing, and repair of highways and bridges on all county roads in Grundy County. This includes approximately 650 miles of gravel roads, 195 miles of paved roads, 15 miles of dirt roadway, and 330 bridges. The Secondary Road Department currently has 22 employees that are dedicated to maintenance of county roads and bridges. The county has 10 dump trucks, 13 motor graders, and 2 rubber-tired wheel excavators along with other miscellaneous equipment to assist in maintaining county roads.

Bridges over 20 feet in length located within the county are inspected every two years. The Secondary Road Department is required to repair those bridges when needed. Spring and summer flooding oftentimes leads to damages that require bridges to be closed temporarily until they can be repaired and reopened. The average cost to replace a bridge in the county is $450,000 to $500,000.

The Secondary Road Department is also responsible for weed spraying along county roads throughout the county. The truck-mounted equipment used to accomplish this can maneuver around signs and other obstacles along the roadside.

The County Sheriff is the county’s principal peace officer and is elected every four years. He is in charge of all county law enforcement and investigations as well as the county jail. He is also in charge of security for the courthouse and other county buildings. The Sheriff’s Office is in charge of traffic enforcement and ac-

all criminal and drug investigations.

Included in the Grundy County Law Enforcement Center is the county jail. All persons arrested in Grundy County are processed through the Sheriff’s Office. The county jail can house up to 14 inmates at any given time.

The County Sheriff’s Office also handles all 911 communications. It handles calls for service for law enforcement, fire departments, and Emergency Management Services.

These calls are handled 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

The Civil Division of the Sheriff’s Office handles all civil process orders from the courts, including small claims, garnishments, levies, sheriff sales, land condemnations, and others.

The County Sheriff’s Office is in charge of emergency management and coordinates services from local law enforcement, fire, Emergency Management Services, public health, public works and private contractors.

The Sheriff’s Office assists in matters of disaster mitigation and recovery, coordinating both state and federal resources as well as county resources. The County Sheriff is in charge of homeland security for the county, and his office issues permits to purchase and carry firearms in the county.

The County Attorney is an elected position for a term of four years.

She and her assistants are the chief legal advisors and enforcing officers for the county. They provide legal advice to all county agencies, elected officials, and department heads.

They prosecute criminal and traffic cases. In addition, they represent the State of Iowa in juvenile and mental health cases.

The General Assistance Office provides services in three categories: emergency relief, extended nature relief and relief for the poor. Such relief

to a system of services and supports for persons with mental illness, brain injury, intellectual disabilities, substance abuse and developmental disabilities, taking applications, making eligibility decisions and evaluating the needs of each individual requesting assistance.

The County Conservation Board is responsible to provide the best conservation, outdoor recreation, and education programs possible with the resources available. Grundy County maintains a total of 19 different areas which include parks, wildlife areas, prairie remnant areas, and a cultural and natural history museum. These areas represent approximately 833 acres on which are located fishing areas, hunting areas, boating areas, shooting ranges, picnic areas, hard surface and grass trails. The Grundy County Heritage Museum contains cultural and natural history displays, live fish and reptile aquariums, a gift shop and meeting facilities. The staff offers educational programs covering such things as hunter safety, fishing tournaments, nature walks, and talks.

While the Grundy County Landfill officially closed on September 29, 2007, the county continues to operate a Customer Convenience Center for solid waste and recyclables. The recycle program accepts glass, cardboard, plastic, newspaper, and magazines.

It has been said that you can only govern men by serving them, which rule is without exception. Each year the County Board of Supervisors and other elected officials and department heads are challenged to provide many services at a reasonable cost for all the citizens of Grundy County. The employees of Grundy County are dedicated to providing quality and cost effective services to those citizens.

Dike Notes

By DIANE PAIGE

Mother's Day

Sunday will be a day of celebration for Mothers around the world.

Spring is the perfect time to celebrate Mother's Day as this day of celebration makes us feel like spring chickens.

Our kids, young and old, come home or call to share this day with the most important lady in their life.

The older kids have learned how much we influenced them through the years and the younger kids have a lot to learn as to how smart their Mother really is.

In remembering past Mother's Days I recall eating lunch at Fox Ridge with Rosella and Charles and my brother and sister. Our friend and past resident of Dike, Norm Gerdes, took the most beautiful picture of Mom. That was the year her birthday fell on Mother's Day and it is the picture I treasure the most since her death.

In researching other families for their memories I found out that Marlis Nielsen loved to have a family brunch at Roadman Park. Catherine, Claudia, Amy and Glen loaded up their spouses and kids and cooked pancakes and eggs and all the trimmings in the shelter.

The pond back then was fit for swimming and the kids enjoyed the dip in the pond.

The families where kids live out of state and don't make it home for Mother's Day remember beautiful floral delivered the day before.

Phone calls were then received on

Mother's Day to make sure the deliveries were made.

Some Mothers like to see their flowers bloom outside so Ann Biersner Siems would take her Mother bedding plants and spend part of the day digging. If you notice Ann's present garden, she is still in the flower and digging business.

Lots of Mothers have a corsage ready for Mother's Day to wear to church. At one time there was a rule that if your Mother was deceased then you wear a white rose. I think that thought is long gone and now we wear our favorite flower and color.

Happy Mother's Day to All! Missing our Mother, Happy Birthday and Mother's Day Rosella.

Summer youth meal program

Picture Left to right Nikki Weissenfluh, Brynn Harberts, Katie Camarata and Kenzie feckers.

team last week won by two strokes over A-P. Congratulations.

Keep up the good work team.

Golf great sayings: The competitor inside you knows what has to be done. If the game doesn't eat you up inside, you can't possibly be a great

player. Lee Trevino.

Don't be in such a hurry. That little white ball isn't going to run away from you. Patty Berg. Study the rules so that you won't beat yourself by not knowing something.

Wow, all area youth be aware.

Wednesdays starting June 3 and each Wednesday thru August 19 a free lunch will be available at the Dike Community Building.

A wonderful Wednesday treat for kids all for free.

Spring has Sprung

Drive around town and look at all the beauty to behold. Nature at its finest. The trees in front of the school are in full blossom. Flower beds of purple creeping flock border the many tulips. Blue bells and cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row. The rows of trees at Elm Wood have lined the paths in red and green. Peace and tranquility vibrant and agust.

Wind and Fire Men at Work

The Dike Fire department has been called into action several times this spring season.

If you have ever had the opportunity to watch these volunteers in action it is a job we all need to say them thank you. They put in hours of training time and do practice burns to prefect the skills. They can be seen helping each other put on air masks and tanks and watching each others back. Two men work together on the large fire hoses and others are on or around the trucks to do hook ups and watch for areas of trouble.

Anhydrous ammonia leaks have kept the department busy several times this spring. The department also responds to car accidents.

The latest fire was a building south of town that was completely destroyed by fire. Firemen responded quickly and protected other out building on the farm.

FOR RENT For rent in DiKe: One bedroom apartment with or without garage. No pets, smoke free building. Call 319-989-2163 or 319-9892665.

Butler County Sheriff searching for stolen guitars

The Butler County Sheriff’s Department is currently searching for guitars that may have been dumped in Grundy County.

According to the sheriff’s department, 17 guitars and one banjo that were part of a valuable collection were stolen from a rural Allison home sometime after Jan. 1.

Many of the guitars were dumped in ditches, culverts, bike trails and bridges around Butler County, Grundy County and possibly Hardin County. The burglars threw out the guitars because Law Enforcement was investigating the crime and the suspects needed to get rid of the evidence.

If you or anyone you know has recently found a guitar, guitar case, or parts of a guitar outdoors please contact the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office so that the property can be returned to its rightful owner.

Relay For Life impacts Grundy County patients

Dike-New Hartford DFS hosts 5.2K

The Dike-New Hartford Dollars for Scholars chapter hosted a 5.2 K fund-raiser Saturday in Dike. More than 40 runners left from City Park and returned to the elementary school. Pictured above are top finishers in the men’s and women’s divisions, left to right: Zach Starbuck, Nate Sharp, Katie Slack and Dawn Dennis. (Courtesy photo)

Participating in the Grundy County Relay for Life has a direct impact on cancer patients and their families’ right here in your community.

Last year alone there were 14 Grundy County residents going through cancer treatment in Iowa City who were able to stay for free at the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge there. That totaled over 420 free nights for those Grundy county residents and their caretakers.

What is the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge?

It’s a place where cancer patients and their caregivers can find help and hope when home is far away.

Each Hope Lodge offers cancer patients 18 and older and their caregivers a free place to stay when their best hope for effective treatment may be in another city. Currently, there are 31 Hope Lodge locations throughout the United States, each of them is free to use for patients and their caregivers—no matter where they are from. Hope Lodges are just a small piece of how your involvement in Relay for Life makes a difference, yet they make such a big impact on those who need them.

Sign up a team for the Grundy County Relay for Life today and do your part! Go to www.relayforlife. org/grundycountyia to register your team for free, then start fundraising!

Relay for Life of Grundy County is on Friday June 12, from 5 -11 pm at the Grundy Center High School Track.

The throw was the first time Rohler has topped 170 feet and the third time this season (and second straight) that he has been over 160. The throw moved Rohler to the top of the statewide Class 1A leaderboard in the event and into fourth place in the state overall.

Other top-five Spartan finishers included Jack Stumberg fourth in the 100-meter dash Finn Cleveland second in the 800 and fifth in the 1,600, Dyaln Hendricks third in the 1,600 and fifth in the 800 and the 4 x 100-meter relay team fifth.

GRUNDY CENTER — Sophomore Jesper Holke-Farnam captured medalist honors last Tuesday, leading Grundy Center to the team championship in its own Spartan Invitational last Tuesday.

The win in the rescheduled tournament highlighted a week that saw the Spartans play five times in six days, including three times in tournaments. GC placed second in both the Aplington-Parkersburg and Columbus Sailor Invitationals while winning North Iowa Cedar League West duals against Gladbrook-Reinbeck and East Marshall.

Aplington-Parkersburg Tournament The host team saw three players break 40 on its way to the team title by four shots over the Spartans. “(Aplington-Parkersburg) has a talented group of golfers who have played great gold the entire spring,” Spartan coach Dennis Dirks said.

A-P finished with a sterling round of 151 while the Spartans shot a season-best 155. Denver was three shots behind the Spartans in third place while Dike-New Hartford (164) and Mason City Newman (170) rounded out the top five.

Gladbrook-Reinbeck placed sixth.

Grundy Center shot well, too, with five of its six scores finishing in the top 15 of the 60-player tournament. Senior Nick Saak led the way with a round of 36 that tied for low round of the day, though he lost the meet medal on a cardback tiebreaker. Other Spartan scores included rounds of 39 by both Sam Thompson and Jake Bangasser, 41s from Holke-Farnam and Austin Burroughs and a 43 from Tanner Pelzer.

Dike-New Hartford’s Zach Nicholson also tied for low score honors but lost on the cardback. Other Wolverine scores included Royce Weber 42, Dalton Mulgrew 43, Ben Freese 43, Drew Aalderks 45 and Bo Weisenfluh 47.

Matt Roeding led GladbrookReinbeck with a 41 while Bryce Ehlers shot 43, Cameron Murphy 44, Bradon Trepp 44, Joe Smoldt 45 and Luke Holman 50.

Grundy Center Invitational

Holke-Farnam won medalist honors for the first time in his twoyear career, using a back-nine 39 to rally from a two-shot deficit following the first nine holes and finish with an 18-hole round of 81.

Saak was second in the tournament with an 82 while Burroughs tied for third with an 85. All of Grundy Center’s six players earned all-tournament honors.

Gladbrook-Reinbeck took second as Trepp tied for third place with an 85 and Smoldt shot 89.

Other Rebel scores included Holman 92, Murphy 95, Roeding 98 and Ehlers 98.

Grundy Center 165, Gladbrook-Reinbeck 176 The Spartans faced G-R for the third time in four days Thursday, scoring an 11-shot win in dual play at the Town and Country Golf Club.

Thompson beat Murphy in a one-hole playoff for medalist honors after both shot 40 on their nine holes.

“The depth of our team was the difference in the meet,” Dirks said.

“The balance this group has displayed throughout the spring finds a new medalist for our team with each passing meet. Three days of golf with three different medalists … that type of strength up and down the lienup makes this team very competitive.”

Other Grundy Center scores included Pelzer with a 41, Saak, Burroughs and Bangasser with rounds of 42 each and Holke-Farnman with a 44.

Other G-R scores included Smoldt with a 43, Holman 46, Ehlers 47, Roeding 48 and Trepp 49.

Grundy Center 162, West Marshall 192 Thompson won a playoff for medalist honors for the second straight day as the Spartans topped West Marshall.

This time the playoff came against teammate Burroughs after each finished with a round of 40.

Holke-Farnam and Bangasser finished just a shot back rounds of 41 while Saak and Pelzer shot 44 each.

“As of late we’ve been con-

sistently putting scores in the low 40s range. That type of scoring is always a recipe for success in high school golf,” Dirks said.

Columbus Sailor Tournament Saak placed second in the medalist race with a career-best 77 as the Spartans placed second in the team race at a very competitive Columbus Sailor Invitational.

“Even though Denver earned three individual all-tournament spots compared to Grundy’s lone one, the 77 posted by Saak allowed us to edge the Cyclones,” Dirks said.

“We always enjoy participating in the Columbus Tournament each year. It allows us to play an 18-hole course against quality competition in preparation for the postseason competition,” he said.

Other Spartan scores included 84s by Holke-Farnam and Bangasser, 85s by Pelzer and Burroughs and a 91 by Thompson.

AGWSR girls top West Marshall with fifth score tie breaker

By PATTI RUST Sports Correspondent ACKLEY – The AGWSR girls’ golf team shot their season low team score to tie West Marshall at 201 last Wednesday, but the Cougars pulled out the win based on a fifth score of 55 compared to the Trojans’ 60. Ashley Sicard took medalist honors with her career best score of 41.

“Tonight was a close one,” AGWSR coach Stacey Bergeson said.

“Every girl came out to win. West Marshall is a great team, and the girls knew it after meeting them at their home course earlier this season.”

“Ashley (Sicard) has been working out some kinks and has officially smoothed it all out and in great time for tournaments,” Bergeson said. “After a few hard meets, Abbie Young came back with a great 51 getting our second low score.

Our most consistent golfer is Sophie Stahl. Every meet she has been in the 50’s, and can always be counted on to put up a counting score.”

“The girls accomplished a big goal tonight that hasn’t been met for a few years with all six girls under 60,” she said. “Every girl on varsity and JV beat their individual season average. They are setting themselves up for a great to start tournaments soon.”

On Tuesday East Marshall prevailed over AGWSR 197, 218 at Wandering Creek Golf Course in Marshalltown. McKenzie Fahrni of East Marshall took top honors with a score of 40. Ashley Sicard shot a 50 to place third individually and Sophie Stahl carded a 53 for the fourth best score of the night.

“It was a great night for golf,” Coach Bergeson said. “The girls excelled on many parts, especially

hitting the ball, but we definitely could have made up many strokes on the green. Ashley Sicard and Sophie Stahl played great. Kim Ventura played great golf getting her lowest varsity meet score this season with an awesome 55. It’s always different girls making up our low four scores, which goes to show that all the girls have the talent.”

On Monday the Cougars traveled to Parkersburg where they came up short against Hampton-Dumont and Aplington-Parkersburg. AGWSR’s Kenzie Huisman led the team with her best round to date to land her in the fourth spot individually.

“Kenzie Huisman came out swinging, shooting her best round of the season with a great 51,” Bergeson said. “We all lost a few strokes around the green with chipping and putting tonight. This meet slipped through our fingers, but we know

what we need to work on.”

The Cougars were scheduled to play at Conrad on Monday, then return home to host Grundy Center on Tuesday and Iowa Falls on Thursday.

Grundy Center girls fend off large schools at Linda Bloom Invitational

By PATTI RUST Sports Correspondent MARSHALLTOWN – The Grundy Center girls’ golf team faced what may have been their biggest challenge yet this season Thursday when they faced off against Class 3A and 4A teams at the Linda Bloom Invitational on the grounds of the American Legion Memorial Golf Course in Marshalltown. The Spartans responded to the call by claiming the title with a team score of 363, six strokes ahead of second place Newton.

“This was a great night for the girls,” Grundy Center head coach Rick Schupbach said. “I am so happy for them. Their extra work paid off today. The girls showed a much better short game and it was the key to victory today without a doubt.”

Josie McMartin led the Spartans with a score of 80, the top score of the night to earn her meet medalist honors. Jessica Reynolds of Newtown was runner-up with an 81. In addition to McMartin’s winning mark, Coach Schupbach felt scores two through four were particularly key to the Spartans’ win.

“We are going to be a good team if 95 is the worst score we use. Maddy (Grineski) and Sarah (Hockemeyer) were awesome, but Jill Itzen really was the difference maker today for our team,” he said.

“She is very smart and has taken to heart the message of how important it is to manage herself and the golf course. She has figured out by doing this it allows her to play closer to her potential, and she wants to do that badly. I love her competitive spirit.”

The Spartans followed Thursday’s win with a 20 stroke win over West Marshall Friday, bringing them to 26-1 on the season. Josie McMar-

tin was medalist with a 39, and Abby Hockemeyer was runner-up with a 45.

“Our girls are making some great strides,” Coach Schupbach said.

“Our depth is really paying off, as all seven girls on our team can be a score we can count on any given night.”

“Josie is playing steady golf and playing like she can and recovering nicely when she hits a bump in the road,” he said. “The highlight of the night was Kate Ross shooting a career low 41, five strokes better than her previous low. More importantly, she did this from JV after losing her varsity position by a shot. Her ability to handle that well is a great example for the other girls on how to handle a challenge. I am very proud of her.

This experience should make her better in the long run and the competition (with seven players fighting for varsity) should make our team better.”

The Spartans were scheduled to host Aplington-Parkersburg and Iowa Falls Monday and play at Ackley on Thursday.

Grundy Center girls win A-P Invitational

By PATTI RUST Sports Correspondent PARKERSBURG – The Grundy Center girls’ golf team came out on top of a field of eight area teams at the Aplington-Parkersburg Girls’ Golf Invitational last Tuesday. The Spartans’ top four scores from Josie McMartin (40), Abby Hockemeyer (47), Sarah Hockemeyer (48), and Kate Ross (48) yielded a team score of 183.

“It was a solid day all around for us,” Spartan coach Rick Schupback said. “Anytime you have four scores under 50 your team score will be tough to beat. Right now we are not real consistent with our play, but we do have depth so we are finding four scores each meet that are solid.

Once we develop some more consistency, which comes with better short games, then we will be the kind of team that competes at the level we want to compete at.”

G-R girls fall in heartbreaker to Union, shut out CAL/H-D/B-K

By PATTI RUST Sports Correspondent LA PORTE CITY – A short-handed Gladbrook-Reinbeck team experienced opposite extremes in their two games this past week. The Rebels lost a 5-4 heartbreaker to Union Thursday on a Knight goal in the closing seconds, after ending Tuesday’s game with Cal/Hampton-Dumont/Belmond-Klemme early on a 10-0 win after 40 minutes of play.

Gladbrook-Reinbeck (3-3) was scheduled to host Denver on Tuesday of this week, and will host AplingtonParkersburg/Grundy Center on Monday, May 11.

Union 5, Gladbrook-Reinbeck 4 The showdown between last week’s Class 1A No. 8 Union and No. 11 Gladbrook-Reinbeck went down to the wire at La Porte Thursday. The Rebels were down 3-1 after the first half, but came back to even the score 4-4 in the second. With 30 seconds remaining Union scored the difference maker to take the win 5-4.

Nicole Adair found the net twice, and Amber Berendes and Hayley Weber once each for the Rebels. Goalkeeper Bailea Evenson recorded 26 saves.

“We played with two starters out with injuries and only three JV players for subs,” G-R head coach Cheryl Pease said. “The team feels very satisfied knowing they performed very well in this situation.”

This week’s updated rankings show Union at No. 12 and G-R at No. 13.

G-R 10, CAL/H-D/B-K 0 The Rebels pounded out 10 goals in the first half while holding CAL/ H-D/B-K scoreless to make an early night of it Tuesday. Nicole Adair led the Rebels with five goals, Hayley Weber scored a hat trick with three, and Hanna Christopher and Audrey Leyen each added one.

“The Cal game was slow-paced, making it a challenge to maintain our speed of play,” Coach Pease said.

“The wind caused many shots on goal to sail over the top or wide.”
