Supervisors discuss annex exterior options

By JOHN JENSEN The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER — Plans for Grundy County’s new annex building are quickly taking shape.

Monday, AHST Architects Mardy Holst and Jacob Bauer discussed those plans with the Grundy County Board of Supervisors, including the first looks at what the building’s exterior could look like.

Holst presented five renderings of possible looks, ranging from a very simple look with a slanted roof to a building with several different outcroppings and roof surfaces.

Each of the renderings show a building with limestone and brick that would blend in nicely with not only the Courthouse but also the nearby Kling Memorial Library.

The simplest of the five options was quickly ruled out, with Holst noting that it might be too simple to be effective. Supervisors were split among the other options, with most preferring a look that includes a roof with a hangover as well as pillars on the north side facing the Courthouse. Supervisor Chair Mark Schildroth advised Holst to return with a proposal for the Board.

Holst also reviewed a revised floor plan for the building. The new plan provides an area with three offices as well as an exam room

and waiting area for Grundy County Public Health and an area with four offices (including a manager’s office), a work room, meeting room and waiting area for Grundy County Social Services. There are also shared restrooms, a shared break room and a large shared conference room suitable for about 20 people.

The plan also leaves a corner of the building vacant for possible future expansion.

Holst said, while the floor plan is fairly set, he still plans to meet with both Public Health and Social Services to make sure the buildings meet their needs.

Holst said expectations would be to put the project out for bid in time for spring construction.

Assistant County Attorney Kirby Schmidt spoke to the Supervisors about a HIPPA Policy that he is in the process of drafting for the county, as required by law, and the ramifications of the county’s ‘We Care’ policy. ‘We Care’ is a voluntary program that county employees are eligible to join which sends out cards and sometimes money to employees who have suffered some sort of personal event such as surgery, hospitalization, a death in the family or retirement.

The program is administered by county employees.

Schmidt said, while the intent of ‘We Care’ is good, it would be safer for the county to discontinue it due to its disclosure of private information. “’We Care’ is a grey area,” he said.

Though at least one supervisor expressed disgust with the government regulations that led to the issues, the Board directed Schmidt to write the new HIPPA Policy without the ‘We Care’ policy in it.

Olson gives back

Local engineer donates time, money to BCLUW building projects

By ROB MAHARRY The Record CONRAD- When Larry and Nancy Olson of Conrad lost their son Bruce almost a year and a half ago, they brainstormed ways to remember him and do something that would have a positive impact on future generations of students in the BCLUW school district. By combining Larry’s background in engineering and Bruce’s love of sports and BCL-BCLUW, they helped to get new Musco lights installed at the Comet softball field and contributed greatly to the design and eventual construction of the long-awaited wrestling room facility in Conrad.

Olson has worked with Musco on many occasions in the past- on behalf of Structural Engineers,

P.C. and his own company, Olson Engineering- and when officials at the Oskaloosa-based business heard of Bruce’s passing, they asked what they could do to help. The 1981 BCL graduate, who played baseball in high school and coached wrestling and softball at Battle Creek-Ida Grove in northwest Iowa, kept a strong passion for sports throughout his life.

“If there was anything they could do for a memorial for Bruce, to help me with something, (they said that) they would like to do that,” he said.

“I was taken aback so much that I didn’t even think to ask them what they had in mind or what they were willing to do.”

Musco agreed to furnish brand new lights for the softball field, and the only expenses were the electrical as well as removal and installation of the new product.

The Olson family was honored for their contribution at a home softball

game over the summer. “(Musco) is a great company, and we do a lot of work with them.

They’re not only good clients, but they’re all friends of mine,” Larry said.

The wrestling room project, on the other hand, didn’t happen overnight. Discussions of a new facility had been in the works for decades- Olson can remember having conversations about such a building in the late 1970’s and 80’s- but the formation of a new private-public partnership spearheaded by over $100,000 in private donations finally brought it to fruition last year. Olson Engineering made in-kind donations in the form of drawing up a design for the wrestling room, providing bid documents and working closely with the contractors to ensure that it was built to specifications.

In the future, Olson is confident that BCLUW will continue to provide top-notch facilities for its student athletes and that volunteers and like-minded individuals throughout the district will continue to give back.

“It’s a very giving community, it really is,” he said. “And we need it to be, particularly in today’s economy when everything is so expensive and hard to do.”

Olson is quick to note that he hasn’t done any of this alonehe has worked closely with other companies throughout his engineering career, and in turn, many of them pitched in to help with the recent facilities upgrade. But as his children

and grandchildren have now gone through school at BCL and BCLUW and grown up, there’s something to be said for his commitment to paying it forwardand, amidst ever tightening budgetssaving the school district thousands of dollars in the process.

“You have the ability to help. If you have that ability, you should probably use it to benefit the community,” he said. “I’m certainly not a minority in the community for helping out. There are a lot of good people on a lot of different committees and boards that work hard to get things done, and you can tell it just by driving around the community.”

My Three Cents Worth

Share this column, or else…

It never fails. For about the 1,000th time in my life, a dumb viral hoax is making the rounds on Facebook, although, to the credit of my own Facebook friends, more people than ever actually realized that posting the latest “statement” does about as much to guarantee an individual’s privacy as giving your credit card number to that friendly guy on the other end of the telephone promising you a free trip to Aruba, Jamaica and all of the other islands in that Beach Boys song. Which is to say, nothing: it’s completely worthless.

In the age of the Internet, this sort of hoax goes back a long ways: I can remember my days as an elementary and middle schooler first being exposed to the world wide web, when Hotmail and MSN Messenger were the norm (anyone

By Rob Maharry remember that?). I’ll never forget the first time I received a dreaded, harrowing chain e-mail: IF YOU DON’T SEND THIS ON TO 10 PEOPLE IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS, A GHOST WILL HAUNT YOU FOREVER, AND YOU’LL NEVER FIND TRUE LOVE. “How can this be?” I thought. “How can this one message from daddyslittlepumpkin_34 determine my entire future and well-being?”

I can’t remember if I ever sent one of these messages on, but it didn’t take me long to realize that these insane “Send this on or else” e-mails had no impact on my day to day life or hopes of success and happiness. I haven’t encountered any ghosts yet, and though life has its ups and downs, I’m still happy with things more often than not.

Fast-forward just over a decade, and social media and viral content are as ubiquitous as McDonald’s and Wal-Mart. You and your friends have Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat, your parents have Facebook (and they might even have Twitter), your grandparents have Facebook and your crazy uncle who’s always angry at Thanksgiving dinner also has Facebook. Whereas once upon a time, you only had to listen to their longwinded rants and bad jokes a few times a year at family gatherings, you’re now exposed to them at all hours of every day.

These facts, and the fact that sites like Buzzfeed continue to exist and thrive, have given rise to a wave of mindless, vapid content like we’ve never seen before. From “Which Friends character are you?” quizzes to every pro and anti-gun control talking point you could ever wish to be exposed to, to adorable baby/cat/dog videos, it could easily be argued that social media, by and large, hasn’t done much to elevate the level of discussion in this country but rather the exact opposite.

This isn’t to say that it’s all bad. News organizations now more than ever rely on social media to break stories, connect with readers and figure out what they should be doing more and less of. I can find video clips from shows that I want to watch in no time, and I’ve discovered music, books, movies and writers I would’ve otherwise never heard of thanks to Twitter and Facebook friends. I’m a self-admitted social media addict for both the above reasons and more masochistic ones, because as ridiculous and insane as some of the posts, quizzes and debates can be, they’re good for a laugh nine times out of 10.

Social media, like most anything out there, can be a great thing or an awful thing depending on how you use it. There’s more information available than ever before, but there are also more hoaxes, fake stories and disinformation at the same time. If something look and sounds fake, it probably is, and no matter how worried about your privacy you might be (and in an age of nearly limitless government surveillance, you have every right to be), simply sharing a post with a few legalese words tossed in isn’t going to save you. Think critically, and please don’t become your crazy uncle who’s always angry at Thanksgiving dinner. Whether you send this column along to 10 of your friends or not, your life will be the same tomorrow, and I can hereby promise you that.

America’s Farmers making Northey comments on Iowa Crops and Weather report a positive impact in Iowa ST. LOUIS – America’s Farmers Grow Communities will partner again with farmers to award more than $3.3 million to community nonprofits across the country. In Iowa, 99 organizations will receive donations in 2016.

Sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, the program’s purpose is to make a positive impact in rural communities by giving farmers a chance to direct $2,500 donations to eligible nonprofit organizations of their choice. Farmer enrollment for Grow Communities kicks off on Aug. 1 and runs through Nov. 30, 2015.

Since the program’s inception, farmers have directed donations to help fire departments purchase equipment and complete training, send FFA and 4-H groups to contests and conventions, provide food pantries with meals to serve those in need and boost agriculture curriculum in rural school districts.

Other beneficiaries of the program have included health care organizations, youth and community centers, state parks and economic development programs, among many others.

“Thanks to the participation of farmers from across the country, more than 7,000 nonprofit organizations have received donations through Grow Communities in the past five years,” said Deborah Patterson, Monsanto Fund president. “We are excited to team up with farmers once again to help support the causes that mean the most to them and strengthen rural America.”

Iowa farmers can enroll in the program and find a complete list of program rules and eligibility information at www.growcommunities.com or by calling 877-267-3332 toll-free. Program winners will be announced in January. Follow Grow Communities’ new Facebook page to learn more about the program and connect with past winners at facebook.com/AmericasFarmersGrowCommunities.

America’s Farmers Grow Communities is part of the America’s Farmers initiative. Since 2010, the America’s Farmers campaign and programs have advocated on behalf of farmers and their efforts to meet society’s needs through agriculture. Today, consumers are more interested than ever in agriculture and how food is grown. Farmers and others in the industry are joining in on the conversation to help raise awareness about agriculture and share their stories with their communities. Learn more at cfiengage.org.

News tip?

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.

“Iowa farmer were able to harvest a quarter of the state’s 10 million acres of soybeans last week and have now 32 percent of beans out of the field.

Thirteen percent of the state’s corn crop has also been harvested. Both of those numbers will likely continue to grow rapidly as crops continue to dry down and even more farmers get into the field,” 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: CROP REPORT Mostly dry conditions allowed Iowa farmers to harvest one-quarter of the State’s soybean crop during the week ending October 4, 2015, according the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 5.7 days suitable for fieldwork. Fieldwork activities for the week included cutting hay and harvesting soybeans and corn for grain. In some areas, farmers are waiting for their crops to dry down before harvesting. There were also reports of manure being spread.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 6 percent short, 86 percent adequate, and 8 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 6 percent short, 83 percent adequate and 10 percent surplus.

Ninety percent of the corn crop was mature, 8 days ahead of last year, and 3 days ahead of the 5-year average. Thirteen percent of the corn crop for grain has been harvested, 10 days ahead of last year, but 8 days behind average. Moisture content of all corn being harvested was at 21 percent, down 3 percentage points from the previous week. Corn condition rated 80 percent good to excellent. Ninety-seven percent of soybeans were turning color or beyond, while 86 percent of soybeans were dropping leaves, 2 days ahead of normal. Thirty-two percent of the soybean crop has been harvested, one week ahead of last year, but 1 day behind average. Soybean condition rated 77 percent good to excellent.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay is 96 percent complete, 3 days ahead last year but 8 days behind the average. Pasture condition rated 65 percent good to excellent. Livestock conditions were described as excellent, with scattered reports of calves being weaned.

IOWA PRELIMINARY WEATHER SUMMARY

By HARRY HILLAKER State Climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture & Land Stewardship The past reporting week began with unseasonably high temperatures with afternoon maximums in the eighties over nearly all of Iowa on Monday (28th). A cold front moved across the state late Monday and into Tuesday and was followed by below normal temperatures for the remainder of the week. Daytime highs were mostly in the sixties from Wednesday (30th) through Saturday (3rd) with afternoon readings only in the fifties over much of eastern Iowa on Sunday (4th) owing to widespread cloud cover that day.

Temperature extremes ranged from Monday afternoon highs of 86 degrees at Donnellson, Lamoni, Osceola, Perry and Sidney to morning lows of 32 degrees at Estherville on both Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged 1.0 degrees below normal. Rain fell over all but a few far southeastern Iowa locations between Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. This was the only rain event of the week. Greatest rain amounts, mostly in the one to two inch range, fell across the central one-third of the state from Monona and Harrison County east-northeastward to Clayton and Dubuque counties. The greatest rain total was a 2.73 inch amount north of Woodbine in Harrison County while no measurable rain fell at Centerville, Keosauqua and Albia. The statewide average precipitation was 0.57 inches while normal for the week is 0.70 inches. Soil temperatures at the four inch depth as of Sunday (4th) afternoon were averaging in the mid to upper fifties statewide. However, those readings are expected to climb this coming week with warmer weather on the way.

FAMILY FEATURES

uring this hectic season, between shuttling the kids from activity to activity and trying to enjoy the holiday spirit, it can be difficult to get a wholesome, homemade meal on your family table, day in and day out. But the solution for simple, delicious dishes is a lot closer than you think: the canned foods in your pantry.

With a well-stocked pantry full of ingredients like canned tomatoes, kidney beans and pumpkin, preparing a nutritious, creative meal that your family will love is easy. Because cans seal in foodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nutrition, freshness and flavor, they are one of the best ways to get food from its source to your table. Canned foods not only mean less preparation, but they also ensure that you have quality ingredients on-hand year-round â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially during the winter months.

As temperatures fall and your to-do list grows, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your packed schedule compromise sharing a heart-warming, homemade meal with your family. Simply reach in your pantry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cantryâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and unlock the goodness of canned foods that can help you make meals, such as Vegetarian Three Bean Chili or Pumpkin Mac and Cheese, in no time.

Comets drop heartbreaker to A-P

By SCOTT BIERLE Mid-America Publishing PARKERSBURG- Momentum is a driving force in volleyball.

BCLUW started with the extra hop here Thursday, but Aplington-Parkersburg finished with the adrenaline rush and captured a come-from-behind five set victory during North Iowa Cedar League West Conference play.

The visiting Comets jumped to a 2-0 advantage with game wins of 25-18 and 25-21, but could not book that third set as the Falcons rallied for wins of 25-19, 25-21 and 16-14 in the fifth.

BCLUW held the upper hand much of the deciding fifth, building an early 5-1 advantage behind kills from Olivia Callaway, Hannah Sams and Jordyn Beeghly along with a Mikaela Simpson service ace. The Comets’ cushion remained 9-6 on Bobbi Paper’s tip and 13-10 on another Beeghly kill.

A-P battled back with four points and on Lakin Brungard’s kill reached match point, 14-13. BCLUW’s Nicole Lutes answered with a tip to pull even, before the Falcons’ Kaitlyn Mohwinkle slammed a kill and the Comets had a hitting error.

The left-handed hitting Mohwinkle leads the league in kills and buried a match-high 24.

“We needed to swing; we quit swinging and settled for tips and they didn’t stop swinging. They had some hitting errors and nets, but they never stopped swinging. We played to not lose at the end,” stated BCLUW coach Kristen Garber.

The outcome left both teams tied for second at 4-1 in the conference and behind 5-0 Grundy Center. The Comets slipped to 16-4 overall and the Falcons improve to 10-15.

Late runs netted wins in games one and two for BCLUW. The Comets tallied eight of the final nine points for the 1-0 lead, breaking away from a narrow 18-17 advantage. Sams and Beeghly each had blocks late along with a Sams’ tip for game point.

In the second set BCLUW finished on a 7-4 run after A-P pulled within one at 18-17. Five of the winner’s seven points came on kills with three for Ubben, including game point, and one each for Callaway and Beeghly.

Knotted nine-all in the third game, the Falcons scored three of the next four points and led throughout, pushing the advantage to 23-15 on a 4-0 spurt.

A-P’s charged continued in the fourth, going on a 6-1 run to break away from a 15-15 deadlock. Sams had a block and kill, and Callaway a block as the Comets clawed within 24-21, but a Mohwinkle kill set up the fifth.

“We got on a roller coaster in the third and fourth games. The two teams were changing leads a lot and we didn’t come up with the key points,” Garber noted.

“We came out and did what we wanted in the first two games, but then we became a little tentative,” she added.

BCLUW’s 45 kill count was led

by Callaway’s 14 and 10 for Sams.

Callaway was 29-of-34 hitting and Sams 23-of-26. Beeghly added eight kills and Ubben seven, while Paper tossed around 36 assists.

The Comets were a sharp 97of-102 serving with six aces. Paper was 18-of-18 and Callaway 21-of22 with two aces each, followed by Kaylee Goecke 16-of-16 and Simpson 15-of-16 with one each apiece.

Defensively, Ubben collected 13 digs, Callaway and Beeghly 11 and Lutes 10, and Sams had five of the team’s 16 blocks.

The free swinging Falcons were credited with 65 kills, including 16 for Brungard and 14 for Dani Johnson after Mohwinkle’s 24 on 38-of45 hitting. Atlanta Groeneveld lofted 54 assists and was 22-of-22 serving with one ace.

The BCLUW girls played stateranked Grundy Center on Tuesday in Conrad with prelim bouts at 6 p.m. followed by the varsity. BCLUW will then host the Comet Invitational

Case remains a mystery

Marshalltown woman’s body found in Tama County in 1973 JOHN SPEER Toledo-Tama News Halloween day, Oct. 31, 1973, was typical of many in late fall in Iowa — cold, overcast and threatening rain.

But it also included the discovery of the body of Helen Mae Bown, 61, of Marshalltown, on the bank of the Iowa River northwest of Montour in Tama County. Her body was found that day by Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation agents. Bown, a widow, had been reported missing to Marshalltown Police on Oct. 7.

The cause of Bown’s death was listed as drowning but the circumstances never revealed.

Those on the scene of the discovery in 1973 included Tama and Marshall county sheriff’s ofcers, Marshalltown police, agents of the then-named Iowa Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Tama County Medical Examiner Dr. C.W. Maplethorpe, as was Tama County Attorney Jared Bauch.

Bauch said recently in an email response for this article: “I remember the case and the scene. Ms. Bown had been in the water several days. As I recall there was an idea that she had been drinking quite a bit at the time she disappeared and her companions were rough customers.

The DCI was on the case from the outset. I think we concluded she got in the Iowa River near Marshalltown and that it was likely a Marshall County case.

“Her appearance in Tama County was probably due to the vagaries of the Iowa River currents. We had nothing to tie her to a Tama County location at the time of her death. We did consider hers to be a suspicious death.”

And it was suspicious to Marshall County authorities.

Then-Marshall County Attorney Ron Kaiser convened a grand jury on Nov. 7, 1973, according to a news report in the Marshalltown Times-Republican. He told the T-R the reason for impaneling the grand jury “was to present evidence that has been uncovered.”

However, no indictment was handed down and the newspaper report said Kaiser “would not comment” on whether he thought “foul play may have taken place or the nature of the evidence.”

The state medical examiner had ruled the death due to “probable drowning.”

Over the years no one was ever arrested nor the case of her death ever ofcially closed.

Recently, current Marshalltown Police Chief Mike Tupper reviewed the Bown case le which he termed “interesting to read.

“I believe it is one of those cases which could be resolved with a piece of information here and a piece of information there,” he said.

Some details of the investigation are not public because the case does remain technically active, Tupper said, admitting “I asked around some of long-tenured police department employees and they were completely unfamiliar (with it.)”

Tupper lled in some details not initially reported, however.

Bown was reported missing by a visiting county health nurse who apparently had been caring for Bown at the time. County health nurses then and now often call upon patients who are in their own homes.

In response to rumors which reportedly circulated in Marshalltown taverns at the time, Tupper said, “From

some of the details it does look like ofcers did investigate multiple possibilities and did review comments people made.”

He said he was uncertain why the then-termed Iowa Bureau of Criminal Investigation (now Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation) was called into the case. But he said protocol then may have been similar to today: “What we would now do.”

Current Marshall County Attorney Jennifer Miller replied to an information request: “My ofce doesn’t have any records or information on this case ... so sorry!” Helen Bown’s obituary in the Nov. 7, 1973 T-R said her husband, William, had died in 1972. The couple had always lived in Marshalltown.

Tama County Sheriff Dennis Kucera and Deputy Bruce Rhoads both said they have no direct knowledge of the case as neither were serving with the sheriff’s ofce then.

A native of Red Cloud, Neb., Bown had married her second husband, William, in 1964. She had previously married Orville Berger in 1926 when she was 14 years old. They had two sons.

Bown was buried in Riverside Cemetery in Marshalltown.

The website - iowacoldcases.org - includes this information about the case: In a Des Moines Register article dated Nov. 2, 1973, one ofcial not directly connected with the case said the manner in which the investigation was being handled would lead one to believe “the Watergate tapes or the atomic bomb secrets” were involved.

Additionally, the paper also reported that “no one in an ofcial capacity would say why the search for the woman was concentrated in the area northeast of Le Grand.”

The Bown case was the second time in which a Marshalltown woman’s body would be discovered in Tama County. Earlier that year, the body of Rochelle Lass, Marshalltown, was found on a rural Tama County road north of Montour on Feb. 22, 1973.

That case was solved with the arrest and subsequent conviction of her husband, Dennis Lass, for rst-degree

murder.

Lass, who had been employed as an insurance adjuster, died in prison in April of 2014 at age 73, while serving a life term.

The couple had lived in Toledo for a period of time before moving to Marshalltown.

By ROB MAHARRY The Record CONRAD- It was a new week but the same old story for the BCLUW football team on Friday night: the Comets fell behind early and never recovered as Spartan tailback Bryce Flater ran wild in a 54-7 Grundy Center victory.

“Bryce did a lot of work on his own, but the offensive line did a great job up front,” Grundy Center Coach Brent Thoren said.

“Bryce runs hard. He’s tough to bring down, but to get him a head of steam for five yards before first contact… it’s tough to get him down in those situations.”

The Comets nearly scored early after Grundy Center’s Austin Burroughs muffed a punt that was recovered by Caleb Engle.

Quarterback Brad Barkema found a streaking Clay Silver on a pass down to the five-yard line, and the Comets were knocking on the door. On the next play, however, Burroughs got his revenge with an interception in the end zone, and the Spartans opened their drive at their own nine-yard line.

“I hate harping on how young we are, but until we learn the lessons that we’re being taught, we’re going to keep being a young team,” BCLUW coach Anthony Jahr said.

“When you’ve got the ball on the five yard line, you can’t throw into triple coverage.”

Flater proceed to break his first big run of the night, a 41-yarder, to move his team into the red zone.

Though they relied on their ground game for most of the night, the Spartans actually scored their first

touchdown through the air when Burroughs found receiver Jared Krausman on a crossing route for a 22-yard score- and just Burroughs’s second passing touchdown of the year- with 4:58 remaining in the opening frame.

On the ensuing Comet drive, Grundy Center defensive back Jack Stumberg intercepted quarterback Brad Barkema at the 35-yard line and returned it all the way down to the eight-yard line. On the next play, Flater punched in the first of his five touchdowns on the night from eight yards out, and the Spartans took control with a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter.

Barkema threw his third pick of the night on the next drive, this time to Chase Boren, which was returned down to the Comet six-yard line.

The Comets got to Burroughs, twice, however, and pushed the Spartans back to the 20-yard line before Stumberg missed a 37-yard field goal attempt.

After another Comet drive stalled at their own 42, the Spartans reclaimed possession, and four plays later Flater broke off a 51-yard touchdown run on a toss to the right. BCLUW went three and out on its next drive, and Flater went 52 yards for his third score to make the score 26-0 with 4:35 to play in the first half.

Flater scored from 51 yards out with 1:04 remaining in the half and added a two-point conversion to make the score 34-0 heading into the locker room, and he punched in yet another touchdown, this one from 32 yards, in the middle of the third quarter. Burroughs connected

with Stumberg on a 38-yard seam route, and Tim Knock ran in from 15 yards to push the score to 54-0.

Barkema found Silver in the back of the end zone on the lone touchdown of the night for the Comets in the fourth quarter, but the Spartans controlled the contest throughout. Flater ended his night with a gaudy 319 yards on just 15 carries (an average of 21.3 yards per carry) and five scores, and Austin Knaack added seven carries for 83 yards for the Spartans, who totaled over 400 yards of offense.

Burroughs completed four of his five passing attempts for 78 yards and two touchdowns. Knock led the defense with 7.5 total tackles and a solo sack. “(Flater) is a great back,” Jahr said. “He’s so smart. He knows how to do everything well and set his blocks up.”

BCLUW’s offense was anemic on Friday night: the Comets totaled just six rushing yards and 121 yards of total offense. Barkema finished 12-of-26 with 115 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions.

Silver caught five passes for 68 yards and a score and led the defense with 10 total tackles (all solo).

“If we don’t do the little things, we’re not going to be able to just show up and beat people. We have to do a lot of things well to beat people, and we can’t get away with some of the things that these bigger, stronger teams can,” Jahr said.

“It’s a very giving community, it really is,” he said. “And we need it to be, particularly in today’s economy when everything is so expensive and hard to do.”

Olson is quick to note that he hasn’t done any of this alonehe has worked closely with other companies throughout his engineering career, and in turn, many of them pitched in to help with the recent facilities upgrade. But as his children

Opinion

My Three Cents Worth

Share this column, or else…

It never fails. For about the 1,000th time in my life, a dumb viral hoax is making the rounds on Facebook, although, to the credit of my own Facebook friends, more people than ever actually realized that posting the latest “statement” does about as much to guarantee an individual’s privacy as giving your credit card number to that friendly guy on the other end of the telephone promising you a free trip to Aruba, Jamaica and all of the other islands in that Beach Boys song. Which is to say, nothing: it’s completely worthless.

In the age of the Internet, this sort of hoax goes back a long ways: I can remember my days as an elementary and middle schooler first being exposed to the world wide web, when Hotmail and MSN Messenger were the norm (anyone

By Rob Maharry remember that?). I’ll never forget the first time I received a dreaded, harrowing chain e-mail: IF YOU DON’T SEND THIS ON TO 10 PEOPLE IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS, A GHOST WILL HAUNT YOU FOREVER, AND YOU’LL NEVER FIND TRUE LOVE. “How can this be?” I thought. “How can this one message from daddyslittlepumpkin_34 determine my entire future and well-being?”

I can’t remember if I ever sent one of these messages on, but it didn’t take me long to realize that these insane “Send this on or else” e-mails had no impact on my day to day life or hopes of success and happiness. I haven’t encountered any ghosts yet, and though life has its ups and downs, I’m still happy with things more often than not.

Fast-forward just over a decade, and social media and viral content are as ubiquitous as McDonald’s and Wal-Mart. You and your friends have Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat, your parents have Facebook (and they might even have Twitter), your grandparents have Facebook and your crazy uncle who’s always angry at Thanksgiving dinner also has Facebook. Whereas once upon a time, you only had to listen to their longwinded rants and bad jokes a few times a year at family gatherings, you’re now exposed to them at all hours of every day.

These facts, and the fact that sites like Buzzfeed continue to exist and thrive, have given rise to a wave of mindless, vapid content like we’ve never seen before. From “Which Friends character are you?” quizzes to every pro and anti-gun control talking point you could ever wish to be exposed to, to adorable baby/cat/dog videos, it could easily be argued that social media, by and large, hasn’t done much to elevate the level of discussion in this country but rather the exact opposite.

This isn’t to say that it’s all bad. News organizations now more than ever rely on social media to break stories, connect with readers and figure out what they should be doing more and less of. I can find video clips from shows that I want to watch in no time, and I’ve discovered music, books, movies and writers I would’ve otherwise never heard of thanks to Twitter and Facebook friends. I’m a self-admitted social media addict for both the above reasons and more masochistic ones, because as ridiculous and insane as some of the posts, quizzes and debates can be, they’re good for a laugh nine times out of 10.

Social media, like most anything out there, can be a great thing or an awful thing depending on how you use it. There’s more information available than ever before, but there are also more hoaxes, fake stories and disinformation at the same time. If something look and sounds fake, it probably is, and no matter how worried about your privacy you might be (and in an age of nearly limitless government surveillance, you have every right to be), simply sharing a post with a few legalese words tossed in isn’t going to save you. Think critically, and please don’t become your crazy uncle who’s always angry at Thanksgiving dinner. Whether you send this column along to 10 of your friends or not, your life will be the same tomorrow, and I can hereby promise you that.

America’s Farmers making Northey comments on Iowa Crops and Weather report a positive impact in Iowa ST. LOUIS – America’s Farmers Grow Communities will partner again with farmers to award more than $3.3 million to community nonprofits across the country. In Iowa, 99 organizations will receive donations in 2016.

Sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, the program’s purpose is to make a positive impact in rural communities by giving farmers a chance to direct $2,500 donations to eligible nonprofit organizations of their choice. Farmer enrollment for Grow Communities kicks off on Aug. 1 and runs through Nov. 30, 2015.

Since the program’s inception, farmers have directed donations to help fire departments purchase equipment and complete training, send FFA and 4-H groups to contests and conventions, provide food pantries with meals to serve those in need and boost agriculture curriculum in rural school districts.

Other beneficiaries of the program have included health care organizations, youth and community centers, state parks and economic development programs, among many others.

“Thanks to the participation of farmers from across the country, more than 7,000 nonprofit organizations have received donations through Grow Communities in the past five years,” said Deborah Patterson, Monsanto Fund president. “We are excited to team up with farmers once again to help support the causes that mean the most to them and strengthen rural America.”

News tip?

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.

“Iowa farmer were able to harvest a quarter of the state’s 10 million acres of soybeans last week and have now 32 percent of beans out of the field.

Thirteen percent of the state’s corn crop has also been harvested. Both of those numbers will likely continue to grow rapidly as crops continue to dry down and even more farmers get into the field,” 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: CROP REPORT Mostly dry conditions allowed Iowa farmers to harvest one-quarter of the State’s soybean crop during the week ending October 4, 2015, according the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 5.7 days suitable for fieldwork. Fieldwork activities for the week included cutting hay and harvesting soybeans and corn for grain. In some areas, farmers are waiting for their crops to dry down before harvesting. There were also reports of manure being spread.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 6 percent short, 86 percent adequate, and 8 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 6 percent short, 83 percent adequate and 10 percent surplus.

Ninety percent of the corn crop was mature, 8 days ahead of last year, and 3 days ahead of the 5-year average. Thirteen percent of the corn crop for grain has been harvested, 10 days ahead of last year, but 8 days behind average. Moisture content of all corn being harvested was at 21 percent, down 3 percentage points from the previous week. Corn condition rated 80 percent good to excellent. Ninety-seven percent of soybeans were turning color or beyond, while 86 percent of soybeans were dropping leaves, 2 days ahead of normal. Thirty-two percent of the soybean crop has been harvested, one week ahead of last year, but 1 day behind average. Soybean condition rated 77 percent good to excellent.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay is 96 percent complete, 3 days ahead last year but 8 days behind the average. Pasture condition rated 65 percent good to excellent. Livestock conditions were described as excellent, with scattered reports of calves being weaned.

IOWA PRELIMINARY WEATHER SUMMARY

By HARRY HILLAKER State Climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture & Land Stewardship The past reporting week began with unseasonably high temperatures with afternoon maximums in the eighties over nearly all of Iowa on Monday (28th). A cold front moved across the state late Monday and into Tuesday and was followed by below normal temperatures for the remainder of the week. Daytime highs were mostly in the sixties from Wednesday (30th) through Saturday (3rd) with afternoon readings only in the fifties over much of eastern Iowa on Sunday (4th) owing to widespread cloud cover that day.

Temperature extremes ranged from Monday afternoon highs of 86 degrees at Donnellson, Lamoni, Osceola, Perry and Sidney to morning lows of 32 degrees at Estherville on both Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged 1.0 degrees below normal. Rain fell over all but a few far southeastern Iowa locations between Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. This was the only rain event of the week. Greatest rain amounts, mostly in the one to two inch range, fell across the central one-third of the state from Monona and Harrison County east-northeastward to Clayton and Dubuque counties. The greatest rain total was a 2.73 inch amount north of Woodbine in Harrison County while no measurable rain fell at Centerville, Keosauqua and Albia. The statewide average precipitation was 0.57 inches while normal for the week is 0.70 inches. Soil temperatures at the four inch depth as of Sunday (4th) afternoon were averaging in the mid to upper fifties statewide. However, those readings are expected to climb this coming week with warmer weather on the way.

FAMILY FEATURES

uring this hectic season, between shuttling the kids from activity to activity and trying to enjoy the holiday spirit, it can be difficult to get a wholesome, homemade meal on your family table, day in and day out. But the solution for simple, delicious dishes is a lot closer than you think: the canned foods in your pantry.

With a well-stocked pantry full of ingredients like canned tomatoes, kidney beans and pumpkin, preparing a nutritious, creative meal that your family will love is easy. Because cans seal in foodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nutrition, freshness and flavor, they are one of the best ways to get food from its source to your table. Canned foods not only mean less preparation, but they also ensure that you have quality ingredients on-hand year-round â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially during the winter months.

As temperatures fall and your to-do list grows, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your packed schedule compromise sharing a heart-warming, homemade meal with your family. Simply reach in your pantry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cantryâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and unlock the goodness of canned foods that can help you make meals, such as Vegetarian Three Bean Chili or Pumpkin Mac and Cheese, in no time.

Comets drop heartbreaker to A-P

By SCOTT BIERLE Mid-America Publishing PARKERSBURG- Momentum is a driving force in volleyball.

BCLUW started with the extra hop here Thursday, but Aplington-Parkersburg finished with the adrenaline rush and captured a come-from-behind five set victory during North Iowa Cedar League West Conference play.

The visiting Comets jumped to a 2-0 advantage with game wins of 25-18 and 25-21, but could not book that third set as the Falcons rallied for wins of 25-19, 25-21 and 16-14 in the fifth.

BCLUW held the upper hand much of the deciding fifth, building an early 5-1 advantage behind kills from Olivia Callaway, Hannah Sams and Jordyn Beeghly along with a Mikaela Simpson service ace. The Comets’ cushion remained 9-6 on Bobbi Paper’s tip and 13-10 on another Beeghly kill.

A-P battled back with four points and on Lakin Brungard’s kill reached match point, 14-13. BCLUW’s Nicole Lutes answered with a tip to pull even, before the Falcons’ Kaitlyn Mohwinkle slammed a kill and the Comets had a hitting error.

The left-handed hitting Mohwinkle leads the league in kills and buried a match-high 24.

“We needed to swing; we quit swinging and settled for tips and they didn’t stop swinging. They had some hitting errors and nets, but they never stopped swinging. We played to not lose at the end,” stated BCLUW coach Kristen Garber.

The outcome left both teams tied for second at 4-1 in the conference and behind 5-0 Grundy Center. The Comets slipped to 16-4 overall and the Falcons improve to 10-15.

Late runs netted wins in games one and two for BCLUW. The Comets tallied eight of the final nine points for the 1-0 lead, breaking away from a narrow 18-17 advantage. Sams and Beeghly each had blocks late along with a Sams’ tip for game point.

In the second set BCLUW finished on a 7-4 run after A-P pulled within one at 18-17. Five of the winner’s seven points came on kills with three for Ubben, including game point, and one each for Callaway and Beeghly.

Knotted nine-all in the third game, the Falcons scored three of the next four points and led throughout, pushing the advantage to 23-15 on a 4-0 spurt.

A-P’s charged continued in the fourth, going on a 6-1 run to break away from a 15-15 deadlock. Sams had a block and kill, and Callaway a block as the Comets clawed within 24-21, but a Mohwinkle kill set up the fifth.

“We got on a roller coaster in the third and fourth games. The two teams were changing leads a lot and we didn’t come up with the key points,” Garber noted.

“We came out and did what we wanted in the first two games, but then we became a little tentative,” she added.

BCLUW’s 45 kill count was led

by Callaway’s 14 and 10 for Sams.

Callaway was 29-of-34 hitting and Sams 23-of-26. Beeghly added eight kills and Ubben seven, while Paper tossed around 36 assists.

The Comets were a sharp 97of-102 serving with six aces. Paper was 18-of-18 and Callaway 21-of22 with two aces each, followed by Kaylee Goecke 16-of-16 and Simpson 15-of-16 with one each apiece.

Defensively, Ubben collected 13 digs, Callaway and Beeghly 11 and Lutes 10, and Sams had five of the team’s 16 blocks.

The free swinging Falcons were credited with 65 kills, including 16 for Brungard and 14 for Dani Johnson after Mohwinkle’s 24 on 38-of45 hitting. Atlanta Groeneveld lofted 54 assists and was 22-of-22 serving with one ace.

The BCLUW girls played stateranked Grundy Center on Tuesday in Conrad with prelim bouts at 6 p.m. followed by the varsity. BCLUW will then host the Comet Invitational

Keokuk County, as shown on map, was where the murders of Willard Woodring and Richard Buchanan took place.

Case remains a mystery

Marshalltown woman’s body found in Tama County in 1973 JOHN SPEER Toledo-Tama News Halloween day, Oct. 31, 1973, was typical of many in late fall in Iowa — cold, overcast and threatening rain.

But it also included the discovery of the body of Helen Mae Bown, 61, of Marshalltown, on the bank of the Iowa River northwest of Montour in Tama County. Her body was found that day by Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation agents. Bown, a widow, had been reported missing to Marshalltown Police on Oct. 7.

The cause of Bown’s death was listed as drowning but the circumstances never revealed.

Those on the scene of the discovery in 1973 included Tama and Marshall county sheriff’s ofcers, Marshalltown police, agents of the then-named Iowa Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Tama County Medical Examiner Dr. C.W. Maplethorpe, as was Tama County Attorney Jared Bauch.

Bauch said recently in an email response for this article: “I remember the case and the scene. Ms. Bown had been in the water several days. As I recall there was an idea that she had been drinking quite a bit at the time she disappeared and her companions were rough customers.

The DCI was on the case from the outset. I think we concluded she got in the Iowa River near Marshalltown and that it was likely a Marshall County case.

“Her appearance in Tama County was probably due to the vagaries of the Iowa River currents. We had nothing to tie her to a Tama County location at the time of her death. We did consider hers to be a suspicious death.”

And it was suspicious to Marshall County authorities.

Then-Marshall County Attorney Ron Kaiser convened a grand jury on Nov. 7, 1973, according to a news report in the Marshalltown Times-Republican. He told the T-R the reason for impaneling the grand jury “was to present evidence that has been uncovered.”

However, no indictment was handed down and the newspaper report said Kaiser “would not comment” on whether he thought “foul play may have taken place or the nature of the evidence.”

The state medical examiner had ruled the death due to “probable drowning.”

Over the years no one was ever arrested nor the case of her death ever ofcially closed.

Recently, current Marshalltown Police Chief Mike Tupper reviewed the Bown case le which he termed “interesting to read.

“I believe it is one of those cases which could be resolved with a piece of information here and a piece of information there,” he said.

Some details of the investigation are not public because the case does remain technically active, Tupper said, admitting “I asked around some of long-tenured police department employees and they were completely unfamiliar (with it.)”

Tupper lled in some details not initially reported, however.

Bown was reported missing by a visiting county health nurse who apparently had been caring for Bown at the time. County health nurses then and now often call upon patients who are in their own homes.

In response to rumors which reportedly circulated in Marshalltown taverns at the time, Tupper said, “From

some of the details it does look like ofcers did investigate multiple possibilities and did review comments people made.”

He said he was uncertain why the then-termed Iowa Bureau of Criminal Investigation (now Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation) was called into the case. But he said protocol then may have been similar to today: “What we would now do.”

Current Marshall County Attorney Jennifer Miller replied to an information request: “My ofce doesn’t have any records or information on this case ... so sorry!” Helen Bown’s obituary in the Nov. 7, 1973 T-R said her husband, William, had died in 1972. The couple had always lived in Marshalltown.

Tama County Sheriff Dennis Kucera and Deputy Bruce Rhoads both said they have no direct knowledge of the case as neither were serving with the sheriff’s ofce then.

A native of Red Cloud, Neb., Bown had married her second husband, William, in 1964. She had previously married Orville Berger in 1926 when she was 14 years old. They had two sons.

Bown was buried in Riverside Cemetery in Marshalltown.

The website - iowacoldcases.org - includes this information about the case: In a Des Moines Register article dated Nov. 2, 1973, one ofcial not directly connected with the case said the manner in which the investigation was being handled would lead one to believe “the Watergate tapes or the atomic bomb secrets” were involved.

Additionally, the paper also reported that “no one in an ofcial capacity would say why the search for the woman was concentrated in the area northeast of Le Grand.”

The Bown case was the second time in which a Marshalltown woman’s body would be discovered in Tama County. Earlier that year, the body of Rochelle Lass, Marshalltown, was found on a rural Tama County road north of Montour on Feb. 22, 1973.

That case was solved with the arrest and subsequent conviction of her husband, Dennis Lass, for rst-degree

murder.

Lass, who had been employed as an insurance adjuster, died in prison in April of 2014 at age 73, while serving a life term.

The couple had lived in Toledo for a period of time before moving to Marshalltown.

By ROB MAHARRY The Record CONRAD- It was a new week but the same old story for the BCLUW football team on Friday night: the Comets fell behind early and never recovered as Spartan tailback Bryce Flater ran wild in a 54-7 Grundy Center victory.

“Bryce did a lot of work on his own, but the offensive line did a great job up front,” Grundy Center Coach Brent Thoren said.

“Bryce runs hard. He’s tough to bring down, but to get him a head of steam for five yards before first contact… it’s tough to get him down in those situations.”

The Comets nearly scored early after Grundy Center’s Austin Burroughs muffed a punt that was recovered by Caleb Engle.

Quarterback Brad Barkema found a streaking Clay Silver on a pass down to the five-yard line, and the Comets were knocking on the door. On the next play, however, Burroughs got his revenge with an interception in the end zone, and the Spartans opened their drive at their own nine-yard line.

“I hate harping on how young we are, but until we learn the lessons that we’re being taught, we’re going to keep being a young team,” BCLUW coach Anthony Jahr said.

“When you’ve got the ball on the five yard line, you can’t throw into triple coverage.”

Flater proceed to break his first big run of the night, a 41-yarder, to move his team into the red zone.

Though they relied on their ground game for most of the night, the Spartans actually scored their first

touchdown through the air when Burroughs found receiver Jared Krausman on a crossing route for a 22-yard score- and just Burroughs’s second passing touchdown of the year- with 4:58 remaining in the opening frame.

On the ensuing Comet drive, Grundy Center defensive back Jack Stumberg intercepted quarterback Brad Barkema at the 35-yard line and returned it all the way down to the eight-yard line. On the next play, Flater punched in the first of his five touchdowns on the night from eight yards out, and the Spartans took control with a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter.

Barkema threw his third pick of the night on the next drive, this time to Chase Boren, which was returned down to the Comet six-yard line.

The Comets got to Burroughs, twice, however, and pushed the Spartans back to the 20-yard line before Stumberg missed a 37-yard field goal attempt.

After another Comet drive stalled at their own 42, the Spartans reclaimed possession, and four plays later Flater broke off a 51-yard touchdown run on a toss to the right. BCLUW went three and out on its next drive, and Flater went 52 yards for his third score to make the score 26-0 with 4:35 to play in the first half.

Flater scored from 51 yards out with 1:04 remaining in the half and added a two-point conversion to make the score 34-0 heading into the locker room, and he punched in yet another touchdown, this one from 32 yards, in the middle of the third quarter. Burroughs connected

with Stumberg on a 38-yard seam route, and Tim Knock ran in from 15 yards to push the score to 54-0.

Barkema found Silver in the back of the end zone on the lone touchdown of the night for the Comets in the fourth quarter, but the Spartans controlled the contest throughout. Flater ended his night with a gaudy 319 yards on just 15 carries (an average of 21.3 yards per carry) and five scores, and Austin Knaack added seven carries for 83 yards for the Spartans, who totaled over 400 yards of offense.

Burroughs completed four of his five passing attempts for 78 yards and two touchdowns. Knock led the defense with 7.5 total tackles and a solo sack. “(Flater) is a great back,” Jahr said. “He’s so smart. He knows how to do everything well and set his blocks up.”

BCLUW’s offense was anemic on Friday night: the Comets totaled just six rushing yards and 121 yards of total offense. Barkema finished 12-of-26 with 115 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions.

Silver caught five passes for 68 yards and a score and led the defense with 10 total tackles (all solo).

“If we don’t do the little things, we’re not going to be able to just show up and beat people. We have to do a lot of things well to beat people, and we can’t get away with some of the things that these bigger, stronger teams can,” Jahr said.
