City acquires former Zenor, Inc. property

By JOHN JENSEN The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER — The long saga of the Zenor, Inc. owned former Grundy Center First Baptist Church appears to be coming to an end.

Late last month, the City of Grun-

dy Center reached a binding agreement to purchase the property for $20,000.

Mayor Brian Buhrow said the building has done nothing but deteriorate since his family came to town more than 20 years ago and that feel-

ings about the upcoming cleanup of the property has been universally positive.

“I have not talked to anyone who hasn’t been very positive about that,” he said. “‘Finally’ is the word I hear most often.”

The future of the former Grundy Center First Baptist Church will be determined following reports from building inspectors. (John Jensen/The Grundy Register photo)

Buhrow said Zenor approached the city during the summer. City Council gave the mayor authority to negotiate a deal up to $20,000 for the property. Buhrow said negotiations at the time fell through after property owner Tracy Zenor kept coming back to the city with additional requests.

The mayor said the city had executed a search warrant on the property earlier this year and that Public Works Director Dan Bangasser, City Clerk Kristy Sawyer (serving as the city’s code enforcement officer) as well as a health inspector and fire marshal from Cedar Rapids had been through the building.

“The four of them went through the building and (the fire marshal and health inspector) said it was the worst building they had ever been in,” Buhrow said.

He added that more than 300 photos were taken at the time and that black mold was evident. “(The health inspector) didn’t feel it was livable and she was prepared to testify if we had to go to court,” Buhrow said.

Buhrow said the city had filed paperwork in magistrate court prior to negotiations falling through to collect on outstanding code violations.

Even while in court, however, he said the hope was to avoid court action.

“We went into court and negotia-

tions came back to the table and we were able to settle in the court proceedings,” he said.

Buhrow said the settlement is for the purchase price only. The property owner has rights only to what he can take from the building. He is not entitled to any woodwork, fixtures or other items that are considered to be part of the property.

What is yet to be decided is the future of the building. Buhrow said there is even a possibility that the building might not be torn down.

“Being that we are now Main Street Grundy Center, part of the Main Street Iowa organization, part of that is we had to get a historical society set up,” Buhrow said. “And that is a historical building.”

The first thing the city will do with the property, after securing it, is fumigate it and get an inspector in to see if it can be salvaged. The building’s asbestos must also be removed, for which an INRCOG grant should be available. Buhrow said fund-raising will be needed for other possible restorations, if the building can be restored.

“The biggest thing is I don’t want this to be a big tax burden to the citizens of Grundy Center, he said.

“They don’t deserve it.”

Buhrow said the time frame on cleanup of the property will depend heavily upon whether it can be restored.

‘Promise Me’ to premier Oct. 30 at Center Theatre

By JOHN JENSEN The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER — A little bit of Hollywood will come to Grundy Center later this month when the movie “Promise Me” makes its world premier at the Center Theatre.

“Promise Me,” a My Town Pictures film produced with local actors in local settings, will premier Friday, Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the Center Theatre in Grundy Center.

The premier will be preceded by a red carpet premier party beginning at 5:30. Producer Scott Thompson said the goal of My Town Pictures is to come into communities and make community-based films.

“We always want a movie that is pleasing to community — a movie that the whole family can come and watch. “Promise Me” is all that — a family comedy with tender heart moments with a big cast from in and around the area.”

Filming took place in April in settings as diverse as local businesses like Manly’s, Stylish Living, Lillian’s and the Movement Dance Studio, local homes and the Mutch Museum. Thompson said production went well.

“The actors did a really nice job,” he said. “I think the community can celebrate how many people participated and how the town looks.

I think it’s great.”

Though they have yet to see the

final production, Chamber Director Jody Latwesen and representative Tiffany Carson were present during filming and lauded how the production went.

“It’s a good movie,” Latwesen said. “So many of the parts had us laughing so hard.”

“We were super impressed with the high school kids that were part of this,” Carson said.

“They were more responsible than a lot of the adults” Latwesen added.

“They were on time, they were in the right outfits, they were in the right hair style.”

Thompson said the entire cast performed well despite having little experience working in movies. He said the difference between movie acting and stage acting, like many local performers are accustomed to, is significant.

“It’s a different type of acting with camera than with stage — almost the opposite in every aspect,” he said. “(With movies) you have to be quiet (conversational) — in other words you have to be yourself — you can’t be a stage actor who waves your arms and rolls your eyes. Acting for the camera is all about using eyes and voice.”

The movie features a pair of major story lines. Carson said the first is about small town living and when big city people come in to look at how small town living is and they

get a different picture than what their perspective is. The other storyline is about family and slowing down and taking time to look at your values and to spend time with one another.

It’s a very family-oriented movie.

Key players include Harper Wells, Terri Shepard, Cameron Corbett, Tori Vollema and Dalyn Maxson.

Thompson said only Vollema had previous experience with movies, and those had been independent films.

“It’s probably the only time these people from our community will see themselves on the big screen or be in a movie,” Carson said.

Prior to the first showing of the movie, Thompson and those who participated in the making of the movie will be part of a premier party at the Grundy Community Center from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event will feature appetizers and a cash bar as well as an opportunity to celebrate the night.

LATWESEN SAID the Chamber of Commerce put the movie together, with financing from Grundy Center Municipal Utilities, as a way to bring the community together during a difficult time.

“It was at a bad time, there was a little bit of a rift going, so we decided we wanted something fun to do that Grundy Center has never done,” Carson said.

“And I really think it’s been successful as far as bringing the community together,” Latwesen said.

“It was people who normally don’t show up to be in things that showed

up to be part of the movie and to help with it. It’s really launched a lot of success for our community. Like See PROMISE ME page 6

Major field fire reported in southern Grundy County

By ROB MAHARRY Mid-America Publishing CONRAD — Fire departments from Conrad, Beaman, Grundy Center, Holland and Wellsburg responded to a large field fire approximately two miles north of Conrad on Hawk Avenue.

According to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department, the call came in at 2:27 p.m. Monday afternoon.

Upon arrival, both standing and picked corn was on fire, and the flames spread quickly due to strong winds. Farmers in the area also assisted by bringing three tractors with discs to knock down the standing corn and break up the fire.

Firemen were on scene until 4 p.m. at the field, which belonged to Grain Farms, Inc. “We had just gotten the field opened up. I was coming out onto the headlands to unload and saw one of the guys trying to stomp out what was about the size of a campfire,” Travis Ward of Grain Farms said.

“We called 911, and I ran back to the shop to get the ripper. Seven minutes might have elapsed by the time that I got back, and it was already to the other side of the field. The fire just erupted. We got all of the equipment out, and everybody was safe.”

No injuries were reported, and the fire was thought to affect around 30 acres of standing land. A cause has not yet been determined.

Across the county, another cornfield fire was reported at 3:15 p.m. three miles south of Stout on Q Avenue. Due to the size of the fire and strong winds, fire departments from Dike, New Hartford Fire and Parkersburg were called to assist the Stout Fire Department in containing the fire. Firemen were on the scene until 5 p.m.

The field belonged to Sid Hayes, and one grain wagon was damaged.

From The

Cheap Seats

One of the most annoying traits I find in journalists is when we whine about not getting what we want. We whine when a story falls through, whine when somebody doesn’t grant us an interview, whine when the public gets in the way of a photo.

It’s kind of the nature of what we are, and I confess being guilty of it on many more than one occasion, though almost always in private.

That said, there’s usually a reason something doesn’t come together.

Perhaps somebody is busy, perhaps there is something we want for the paper that they really don’t want to talk about ... perhaps it’s even as simple as the person not seeing the photographer. It’s annoying, but understandable.

What is not understandable,

By JOHN JENSEN however, is when somebody makes such an attempt to control what we do that they choose not to acknowledge a legitimate media representative’s existence. Such was the case I ran into last week as I attempted to cover Donald Trump’s visit to Waterloo.

We rarely cover events outside Grundy County and the immediate surrounding area unless they have very direct ties to the area. I’ve been to Cedar Falls for a story or two, Des Moines once or twice when something local was happening there and, of course, cover sports outside Grundy County on a regular basis when our teams play there. That said, when I heard Mr. Trump would be in Waterloo last week, I felt it would be relevant simply because I figure it’s his only visit to the Cedar Valley and would be something our readers would be interested in. Our coverage would be a week after said event, but I figured it as a case of following the big story surrounding the election.

Like him or loathe him, Donald Trump has helped make the 2016 election cycle interesting a lot earlier than it usually is. His wide-ranging popularity has come as a surprise and has shown no sign of diminishing.

And his followers are about as dedicated to his cause as they come.

Knowing the event was in Waterloo and that it would likely attract a lot of media, and also knowing how a few of his events had worked in the past, I figured the correct way to cover the event would be to contact the campaign about getting media credentials ahead of time. This is something I do pretty regularly ... basically any time I’m covering something outside the general area. We need credentials to nearly any state-level sporting event we might cover and generally need to be on a coverage list for anything that requires an entry ticket.

In fairness, I have no idea whether or not we were denied credentials to the event ... because the campaign never bothered to acknowledge my e-mail. After four days I decided to try again ... and again no response. I considered going anyway ... even as a member of the public ... but instead decided not to. I just wasn’t into it enough to go and fight what I figured would be hundreds of supporters.

I confess being perplexed by Trump’s popularity. Early on I really saw him as a flash in the pan who would be gone long before the Feb. 1 caucus. Now I’m not so sure. I’m actually starting to believe that Trump has a chance for the Republican nomination. I’m still not convinced that he’ll fare well in the general election, though I’ve been wrong so far ...

With the top polling Republican candidates so far being Washington outsiders, there seems to be a decent chance that someone who isn’t a career politician will get the nomination. And if that happens you never know what could happen in the general election, where straight party voting sometimes overshadows those who vote for a candidate.

I confess to not having a favorite candidate in the race at this point.

To be very honest I don’t need a favorite candidate because my role here precludes me from participating in the caucuses anyway. It’s also a lot easier to report fairly on everyone if you don’t have a favorite. Though

Mid-America Publishing has no rules against political activism by our editorial staff, I find it’s a better idea to stay as neutral as possible.

• • • I wrote extensively a couple of years ago about learning the art of grilling. This year I’ve taken that to a different level, grilling for someone other than myself for the first time. Now, instead of simply hoping that what I do comes out tasty, I’ve needed to do things the right way.

Though there have been highs and lows, I have really had fun trying some new things.

One of the big adjustments was going back to cooking on Lynnette’s charcoal grill most of the time after cooking on a nice gas grill at home. I’ve always enjoyed cooking on charcoal, though it’s a lot more challenging than gas. There’s just something about the simplicity of being able to adjust the gas flame to the desired heat with a dial as opposed to adjusting the charcoal based on the amount you use and how much air you need.

In the past I’d usually cooked based on time and often based on look. Sometimes that resulted in undercooked meat, which is obviously something I need to avoid. Early this grilling season, Lynnette talked me into using a meat thermometer when I grill and I’ve been happy with the results.

A few weeks ago I tackled a meat that I’d tried before without a lot of success ... and was really happy with the results. My dad’s always done a great job with chicken on the grill, but I’ve never gotten the hang of it.

Even on the gas my chicken tended to come out really dry. I did a little research this time, bought quality meat, took more time with the meat and the results were awesome. I, very much in jest, told Lynnette before we ate that it would be the best chicken she had ever eaten. Truth is, though, that it was right up there for me. It still didn’t match Dad’s rotisserie chicken, but it was easily the best I’d done.

The best part of grilling this summer is that Lynnette really likes it.

She asks me to do it, and since it’s something I enjoy, I’ve been more than happy to oblige. I’m no award-winning griller, and probably never will be, but if it makes her happy that’s all the award I’ll ever need.

I took last week off from news column writing because it was a very busy last couple of weeks for me professionally and personally, as well. I apologize to the thousands of disappointed readers who I am sure missed the column (yeah, right).

I have reports that are due into the state by the end of September, the annual Peace Officer training that I have in Camp Dodge at the beginning of October, and our only daughter, Shannon’s wedding that was held this past Saturday on October 10.

So, some things have to give and I am afraid the news column was one of those things. I had a friend ask me at the wedding whether I was going to be able to work the wedding into my news column topic of the week.

I gave it thought but decided the mention of it was probably as far as I should go outside of the “conservation” theme of this column. But I might change my mind in a week or so if some sort of inspiration hits me.

What was on my mind during all of the hustle of the past two weeks was that this had been a time of memories and reflection. Again, both personally with the wedding and professionally during this training that I received down at Camp Dodge. This year is the 30th anniversary of our County Conservation Peace Officers Association (CCPOA). Having been in the County Conservation Board system for nearly 36 years now, I have personal experience with this association since the inception.

It began thanks to the efforts of two Park Rangers, Tom Hazelton in Linn County and Ray Delmage from Polk. At that time there was a three week Conservation Basic Course of training at the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy located at Camp Dodge that County conservation and Iowa Conservation Commission officers were required to attend and graduate.

The regular basic at the time was a ten week course. I graduated from the Conservation Officer Basic on February 19, 1982.

From the inception of the CCPOA, the goal of the group has been to foster an increase in education, communication and comradery. This past year there are 153 officers making up the membership representing 63 County Conservation Boards. Quite a jump from the thirty that started out.

The Monday course of training at this past week’s training consisted of firearms qualifications for daytime and subdued lighting. Just over 100 shooters. At the end of the day there were 4 shooters that had perfect 100 scores. I participated in the shootoff with the three others and won. Over the course of the years I have won the competition three times and lost in shootoffs more times than I have counted.

At the Tuesday evening banquet celebrating 30 years, I received my firearms award seated beside my good friend who also won that award three times in his career. And we reflected upon the first shootoff that we had at our Conservation Basic training way back in 1982. I reminded him that I won that one.

The CCPOA has accomplished its goals starting out and much more.

Education. Communication. And probably most important – comradery.

Everything seems to be changing for the better at Hotel Transylvania... Dracula's rigid monster-only hotel policy has finally relaxed, opening up its doors to human guests. But behind closed coffins, Drac is worried that his adorable half-human, half-vampire grandson, Dennis, isn't showing signs of being a vampire. So while Mavis is busy visiting her human in-laws with Johnny — and in for a major cultural shock of her own — 'Vampa' Drac enlists his friends Frank, Murray, Wayne and Griffin to put Dennis through a 'monster-in-training' boot camp. But little do they know

that Drac's grumpy and very old, old, old school dad Vlad is about to pay a family visit to the hotel. When Vlad finds out that his great-grandson is not a pure blood — and humans are now welcome at Hotel Transylvania — things are going to get batty!

Academy Award winners Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway star together in Warner Bros. Pictures’ newest comedy movie The Intern.

In The Intern, De Niro stars as Ben Whittaker, a 70-year-old widower who has discovered that retirement isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Seizing an opportunity to get back in the game, he becomes a senior intern at an online fashion site, run by the extremely capable founder Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway). But Jules doesn’t really want him there and only goes along with the program to be a good example for the rest of the 200-person company. What Jules doesn’t know is that she and her company are in need of someone like Ben and that sometimes an Internet-age, modern business can use a little oldschool inspiration. The Intern is an entertaining comedy movie you will want to be sure to fit into your schedule this week!

Grundy NEWS Register Promise Me

From page 1 the Beck-Brunks — they went from being in the movie to helping with our Main Street Iowa presentation that maybe they wouldn’t have been a part of before.”

The movie will also serve as a fund-raiser for the Center Theatre, which will play it for a week in lieu of having a traditional movie on one of its screens.

“We didn’t initially plan for it to be a fund-raiser,” Carson said.

When GC Muni came forward

www.thegrundyregister.com

to pay the cost or producing the movie, however, that gave Chamber a chance to donate its proceeds.

The movie was originally slated to be released during this year’s Felix Grundy Festival, though the release date was moved back as a matter of practicality.

“So many things going on during Felix that we didn’t feel like we would be able to attract a crowd,” Latwesen said. “It seems that so many of the people that were in the movie are also people that

were involved in other things during Felix, so it would have been a struggle to get everybody together for a premier. The other thing is that attendance is down in the summer but tends to pick up in the fall, so we wanted to get the most attendance we could for the theatre.”

Tickets for “Promise Me” and the premier party are available at the Grundy Center Municipal Utilities office.

Downtown light project wraps up

The City of Grundy Center and Grundy Center Municipal Utilities installed new lights along Sixth and Seventh Streets last week, wrapping up a project that began a year ago when new lights were installed in the downtown area along G Avenue. The project also moved overhead utility lines underground. (John Jensen/ The Grundy Register photo)

Community health grants available from Hospital Foundation GRUNDY CENTER - Local non-profit organizations, health departments, and school districts are eligible to apply for Community Health Grants to be awarded by the Grundy County Memorial Hospital Foundation. The grants are available for new or existing projects that address specific health needs in the service area of Grundy County Memorial Hospital, which includes Grundy, Butler, Hardin, and Tama county communities.

Grant requests should address at least one of four specific areas of community health, which include: improving access to health care, chronic disease management, disease prevention, and wellness,

which is defined as activities designed to support healthy behaviors and to improve health outcomes.

In the first year of the grant program, funds have helped provide dental health education for all Grundy County kindergarten students, a series of nutrition classes for people with chronic disease, and health and nutrition education for at-risk families.

“The hospital’s Community Health Needs Assessment identified the four major areas that need to be addressed, and we’re hopeful that the grant program will help stimulate creative ideas and programming,” said Keely Harken, GCMH Foundation Development

and Community Outreach manager.

Funds for the grant program were raised in the Vase Challenge portion of the GCMH Foundation’s Fall Fling Luncheon & Style Show held last month. Grant requests are accepted year round, with the next deadline for grant review coming up on Nov. 1.

Organizations may contact Harken for more information and grant application forms. Phone 319-8244152 or email keely.harken@unitypoint.org. The hospital’s website www.grundycountyhospital.org has additional information on grant qualifications and the review process.

Dike Notes

By DIANE PAIGE

Fall weather and Snow Birds

Wow we are having a beautiful fall. This is the time of year we like to plan a road trip to see if the trees leaves are turning. Predictions on tv state the week of October 18 will be the most beautiful. Dubuque Ia is gearing up for thousand of visitors.

In Dike we have the bright orange leaves on the tree on 2nd street. This tree will soon lose those leaves and most of our other trees are about a week behind.

The temperatures are allowing farmers ample time to bring in the crops. Harvest time is a busy time and safety is on the minds of all farmers and road travelers. It is important to share the roadway.

Once harvest time is over it is time some farmers think about traveling south. The snow birds that drive to their winter homes want to leave Iowa on safe snow free roadways. We wish them safe driving and happy warm winter weather in Florida, Texas and Arizona.

Not wanting to rush away what some call Indian Summer, lets think sunshine everyday.

Happy 90th Birthday!

Jerry Eimers of Dike, will celebrate his 90th birthday on October 17th.

Congratulations Jerry and we hope you get lots of birthday wishes on this special day.

A fun outing for Dike Lions the Michaelsens Pork Dinner Wednesday afternoon Marcia and Ron joined a few hundred other eager onlookers at a rally for Presidential candidate Donald Trump at the Electric Park in Waterloo. We had gotten tickets on line last week when it was first announced he was going to be there. Our thought – “Darn this could be a hoot.” We don’t know that we are going to vote for him, but he tended to say what sounded really good for America like dealing with the illegal alien flood, health care inequities, sorry state of our military readiness, spending money arming Syrian rebels whom we can’t even identify, the trade of five high-level enemy combatants for Bergdahl – a traitor, spending $3 Trillion fighting in Iraq/Afghanistan, losing precious lives gaining nothing except ISIS and many other things easy to hate.

Yes, those are easier to condemn than do anything about, but hey he is large and in charge in person or on TV. Maybe?

There were a few protestors everyone was polite and courteous, as we Iowans are reputed to be. You know really it seemed the crowd was predominately curiousabout “The Donald” and felt privileged to have an opportunity to see up close and personal a highly successful man who thinks he can make things better for all of us.

We didn’t get to shake his hand or have our picture taken with him as some had who had gotten there earlier, but we got close enough to see that his hair is real – a little odd but real!

This is a weekly feature highlighting some of Iowa’s unsolved homicides in the hopes that it will lead to new tips and potentially help solve cases. The project is a partnership between this newspaper and other members of the Iowa Newspaper Association.

Corey Wieneke was found bludgeoned to death on the bedroom oor of his rural West Liberty home on Tuesday, Oct. 13,

Corey Lee Wieneke, 22, Died Oct. 13,1992, Location: West Liberty

1992. The cause of death was blunt trauma to the body. A blood-stained aluminum softball bat found one mile from his home was conrmed to be the murder weapon.

Wieneke was the late shift bartender at Wink’s Tap, a downtown West Liberty tavern.

Authorities believed Wieneke knew his killer and said there was no evidence to suggest it was a random killing, and that they believed the person responsible was not from West Liberty but possibly from Iowa City. Investigators also said they did not believe the murder was drug-related and that it could be connected to a relationship he had with a woman.

Wieneke was returning home from Iowa City around 7 a.m. the day of the murder.

Find out more about this and other unsolved homicides at www.IowaColdCases.org.

ANYONE WITH ANY INFORMATION about Corey Wieneke’s unsolved murder is encouraged to call the Muscatine County Sheriff’s Ofce at (319) 263-6055 or (800) 369-9635 or the Iowa DCI at 515725-6010.

Dike Lions Pork Dinner will be held on October 25 from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM at the Dike Memorial Building.

Menu will include Smoked Pork Chop, Cheesy Potatoes, Green Beans, Pie and Drink.

Profits will go to community projects

The growing interest in nostalgia and vintage items can be found on Pinterest and popular HGTV shows like “Flea Market Flip”. Fort Dodge Vintage Market will bring vendors with these same treasures from around the Midwest to Fort Dodge all in one location for everyone to view on October 16th, 17th and 18th.

“One person’s trash is another person’s treasure perfectly describes the upcoming Fort Dodge Vintage Market,” says Sue Heistand, NonCredit Coordinator with Iowa Central Community College. “For those that enjoyed JunqueFest earlier this year, you will have all the same fun and flavor in an indoor setting.”

Fort Dodge Vintage Market will fulfill wishes of inspiration, that special gift for the upcoming holidays or just the love to see primitive, vintage, re-purposed, up-cycled, yard art, rusty, architectural salvage and artisan painted products from wood and metal. All the vendors will be housed at the East Campus of Iowa Central Community College for the three days. Ample parking and the indoor setting are sure to create ideal accommodations for visitors.

A list of over 40 vendors are scheduled to be in attendance. Some of them include K & A Remade, Tangerine Zebra, Patina, Rust & Fairy Dust, Kathy's Barn LLC, Penn Station Antiques, Urban Heirlooms, Winged Goddess Studio, Homespun Collection, Downtown Antiques, Annette's Farm Finds, TADA, On Willow Pond, Uptown Funky Junk, Funky Roost, Junk Garden, Calico Hen House, Pine Needle Hill Co., The Grand Adventure, Boone River Rusticks, Front Porch Antiques, Scatter Joy, Broad Street Market, Crossgrain Woodworking, The Iron Garden, LilyGrace on Central, TiDe Creations, Refreshed by Robyn, Chicken Coop Treasures, Hodge Podge Collections, LC, Shabby Shack, Invintg, Country Boy Salvage, Lillie's Bliss, Relax the Bath, Past and Present Jewelry, The Re-

Vue, Old New & Things to Redo, 102 Junk Street, A Beautiful Purpose, Elegant Junque, Myer’s Woodworking, New Again, Re:Home, Salvaged Silo, Second Chance Furniture, Silk Purse Originals, and SOS Vintage.

Looking at all these vintage items is sure to make visitors hungry. No worry here as Smokeworx, the very popular barbecue restaurant located in Fort Dodge will be serving BBQ favorites onsite. Meats smoked to perfection and house made sauces make this authentic St. Louis style barbecue a great addition to the Fort Dodge Vintage Market.

Doors for Fort Dodge Vintage Market will open at noon and continue until 8 pm on Friday, October 16th. Saturday’s hours are 8 am to 6 pm and Sunday starting at 9 am to 3 pm. The East Campus of Iowa Central Community College is located at 2031 Quail Avenue, Fort Dodge, IA. Access to the venue is just off Highway 20 on the P59 exit.

Additional information on Fort Dodge Vintage Market is available by contacting Sue Heistand at Iowa Central Community College by phone at 515-574-1292 or 1-800362-2793, ext. 1292 and by email at Heistand(at)iowacentral(dot)edu.

TiThing & The SecreT of Living AbundAnTLy “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”

—Malachi 3:10 NIV *******************************************

A

bundance and synergy are built into the very fabric of our world. Put a small seed into the earth and with the addition of a bit of rain and sunshine it returns a hundredfold. The energy stored within every atom manifests a similar superabundance. There is much to be said for giving and living abundantly. When we do so we almost always reap more than we sow. We may not understand the secret connections and mechanisms underlying abundance—who but the botanist and the Creator really understands how the tiny acorn becomes the mighty oak?—but we can trust that it is there. Perhaps nowhere do we see this more clearly than in those who give of themselves unselfishly. These saintly people who give it all away are from all appearances the happiest people in our midst, while the misers who can’t bear to give anything away often seem small, petty, and unhappy by comparison. So give and live abundantly, and most of all, do not skimp in your giving back to God. It will return to you many times over, though the riches you reap may be spiritual rather than material. – Christopher Simon ******************************************************************************************

The Bonds must be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. Payment of semiannual interest for any Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co. will be made by wire transfer or New York

Clearing House or equivalent next day funds to the account of Cede & Co. on the interest payment date for the Bonds at the address indicated or in the Representation Letter. b) The Bonds will be initially issued in the form of separate single authenticated fully registered bonds in the amount of each stated maturity of the Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of the Bonds will be registered in the registry books of the Bankers Trust Company kept by the Paying Agent and Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The Paying Agent and Registrar and the Issuer may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal or redemption price of or interest on the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions to be redeemed, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to registered owners of Bonds under the Resolution of the Issuer, registering the transfer of Bonds, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by registered owners of the Bonds and for other purposes. The Paying Agent, Registrar and the Issuer have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or Beneficial Owner of the Bonds under or through DTC with respect to the accuracy of records maintained

by DTC or any Participant; with respect to the payment by DTC or Participant of an amount of principal or redemption price of or interest on the Bonds; with respect to any notice given to owners of Bonds under the Resolution; with respect to the Participant(s) selected to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds, or a consent given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner of the Bonds.

DTC must receive an authenticated Bond for each separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest.

Upon delivery by DTC to the Paying Agent and Registrar of written notice that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to the new nominee in accordance with this Section. c) In the event the Issuer determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain Bonds certificates, the Issuer may notify DTC and the Paying Agent and Registrar, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bonds certificates. The Bonds will be transferable in accordance with this Section. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the Issuer and the Paying Agent and Registrar and discharging its responsibilities under applicable law. In this event, the Bonds will be transferable in accordance with this Section. d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Resolution to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bond and all notices must be made and given, respectively to DTC as provided in the Representation letter. e) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to Bondholders by the Issuer or the Paying Agent and Registrar with respect to a consent or other action to be taken by Bondholders, the Issuer or the Paying Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, shall establish a record date for the consent or other action and give DTC notice of the record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of the record date to the extent possible. Notice to DTC must be given only when DTC is the sole Bondholder. f) The Representation Letter is on file with DTC and sets forth certain matters with respect to, among other things, notices, consents and approvals by Bondholders and payments on the Bonds. The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter to DTC by the Issuer is ratified and confirmed. g) In the event that a transfer or exchange of the Bonds is permitted under this Section, the transfer or exchange may be accomplished upon receipt by the Registrar from the registered owners of the Bonds to be transferred or exchanged and appropriate instruments of transfer. In the event Bond certificates are issued to holders other than Cede & Co., its successor as nominee for DTC as holder of all the Bonds, or other securities depository as holder of all the Bonds, the provisions of the Resolution apply to, among other things, the printing of certificates and the method or payment of principal of and interest on the certificates. Any substitute depository shall be designated in writing by the Issuer to the Paying Agent. Any such substitute depository shall be a qualified and registered "clearing agency" as provided in Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The substitute depository shall provide for (i) immobilization of the Depository Bonds, (ii) registration and transfer of interests in Depository Bonds by book entries made on records of the depository or its nominee and (iii) payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds in accordance with and as such interests may appear with respect to such book entries. h) The officers of the Issuer are authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the purchaser, and to the attorneys approving the legality of Bonds, certified copies of proceedings, ordinances, resolutions and records and all certificates and affidavits and other instruments as may be required to evidence the legality and marketability of the Bonds, and all certified copies, certificates, affidavits and other instruments constitute representations of the Issuer as to the correctness of all stated or recited facts.

terms of this Resolution and under the provisions of a separate agreement with the Issuer filed herewith which is made a part hereof by this reference.

In the event that the address of the registered owner of a Bond (other than a registered owner which is the nominee of the broker or dealer in question) is that of a broker or dealer, there must be disclosed on the Registration Books the information pertaining to the registered owner required above. Upon the transfer of any such Bond, a new fully registered Bond, of any denomination or denominations permitted by this Resolution in aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed principal amount of such transferred fully registered Bond, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date or dates shall be delivered by the Registrar. c) Registration of Transferred Bonds. In all cases of the transfer of the Bonds, the Registrar shall register, at the earliest practicable time, on the Registration Books, the Bonds, in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution. d) Ownership.

All Bonds which are cancelled by the Registrar shall be destroyed and a certificate of the destruction thereof shall be furnished promptly to the Issuer; provided that if the Issuer shall so direct, the Registrar shall forward the cancelled Bonds to the Issuer. f) Non-Presentment of Bonds. In the event any payment check representing payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds is returned to the Paying Agent or if any bond is not presented for payment of principal at the maturity or redemption date, if funds sufficient to pay such principal of or interest on Bonds shall have been made available to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the owner thereof, all liability of the Issuer to the owner thereof for such interest or payment of such Bonds shall forthwith cease, terminate and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Paying Agent to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the owner of such Bonds who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of whatever nature on his part under this Resolution or on, or with respect to, such interest or Bonds. The Paying Agent's obligation to hold such funds shall continue for a period equal to two years and six months following the date on which such interest or principal became due, whether at maturity, or at the date fixed for redemption thereof, or otherwise, at which time the Paying Agent, shall surrender any remaining funds so held to the Issuer, whereupon any claim under this Resolution by the Owners of such interest or Bonds of whatever nature shall be made upon the Issuer. g) Registration and Transfer Fees. The Registrar may furnish to each owner, at the Issuer's expense, one bond for each annual maturity.

The program can be seen at office locations across Iowa through the ISU Extension and Outreach Pesticide Safety Education Program (PSEP) team.

The local attendance site for the Oct. 21 CIC is 703 F Avenue, Suite 1, Grundy Center. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. followed by sessions from 9 to 11:30 a.m. The registration fee is $35 on or before Oct. 14 and $45 after Oct. 14. To register or to obtain additional information

about the CIC, contact Loretta Arends at the ISU Extension and Outreach Grundy County office at 319824-6979.

The course will provide continuing instruction credits for commercial and public pesticide applicators certified in categories 2 (Forest Pest Control), 5 (Aquatic Pest Control), 6 (Right-of-Way Pest Control), and 10 (Research and Demonstration).

Topics to be covered are equipment calibration, safe application techniques, phytotoxicity, pesticide drift reduction, principles of limited area application, control of aquatic, rightof-way, and forest weeds, use of rotenone, and a forest health update.

Farmers reminded to wait until soil temps are 50 degrees and falling before applying anhydrous ammonia fertilzer

DES MOINES – Farmers are reminded to wait until soil temperatures remain below 50 degrees Fahrenheit before applying anhydrous ammonia (NH3) fertilizer this fall. Harvest is progressing rapidly in many parts of the state and officials with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach said that waiting can help reduce nitrogen loss and better protects the environment.

“It is important that farmers wait for cooler soil temps to apply anhydrous so that there is a better chance the fertilizer stays put and will be available to the crop next spring,” said Bill Northey, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture. “Soil temperatures, like air temperatures, can change quickly so it is important that we wait with applications until soils are likely to remain below 50 degrees.”

ISU Extension and Outreach maintains a statewide real-time soil temperature data map on their website that ag retailers and farmers use to determine when fall N applications are appropriate. The website can be found at http:// extension.agron.iastate.edu/NPKnowledge/.

“The reason for waiting to apply anhydrous ammonia until soils are cold is that nitrification, the process of biological conversion of ammonium to nitrate, occurs at a more rapid rate with warm soils. Since ammonium-N does not leach and is not subject to denitrification, as is nitrate, it is more stable in the soil,” said John Sawyer, professor and extension specialist in soil fertility and nutrient management at Iowa State University.

In addition to waiting for cooler soil temperatures, farmers should also make sure that the soil is not too dry, too hard, or too wet as those conditions can cause injection issues and allow ammonia to move to the soil surface and be lost to the air. If conditions are not suitable, then waiting for better conditions is suggested.

Farmers with questions about timing of fertilizer applications can talk to their local ISU Extension and Outreach field specialist or their ag retailer for more information.

Time Saving Tips

These simple tricks from Sandra Lee will cut minutes off your busywork, so you can get to the more important things like enjoying fall with your family.

1. Shave minutes off meals using tools in original ways: An ice cream scoop makes cookies and meatballs in a flash; an egg slicer quickly cuts mushrooms and berries.

2. To further speed up slow cooker prep time, keep favorite premixed seasoning packets, pre-sliced vegetables and jarred sauces on hand.

3. Desserts need not be made from scratch to have a homespun feel. Dip packaged cookies in chocolate, embellish bakery cupcakes or create lollipops from candies.

Wolverines remain undefeated with 23-0 shutout of South Winn

By PATTI RUST The Grundy Register CALMAR – Jackson Lage has been a reliable PAT kicker for DikeNew Hartford all season but hadn’t kicked a field goal yet, and with Wolverine win margins ranging anywhere from seven to 47 points, he hadn’t had the opportunity to be the game changer. Until Friday night at Calmar, that is. After a defensive standoff in the first half resulted in a 0-0 halftime score between DikeNew Hartford and South Winneshiek, both teams entered the second half looking for a momentum change that would ignite their offense.

The momentum swing almost came on the opening play of the second half, when Dike-New Hartford’s Keoda Young recovered a South Winn fumble on the opening kickoff. Three plays later the Wolverines had the ball on the nine yard line, but were unable to capitalize as the Warrior defense continued to hold.

With five minutes to go in the third quarter it appeared the Wolverines had their difference maker in a Trent Johnson scoring run, but the touchdown was called back on an illegal block. On third down and seven to go with the ball on the 25yard line, Johnson was tackled for a loss to make it fourth and nine on the 34 marker, setting the stage for the opportunity Lage had been waiting.

Lage’s 44-yard field attempt sailed through the uprights, giving D-NH a 3-0 lead and leaving the Wolverines hungry for more.

Johnson would add to the score before the end of the third on a huge 60-yard touchdown run, and Lage’s extra point attempt was good to make it 10-0 Wolverines going into the fourth quarter.

(Patti Rust/The Grundy Register photo) D-NH expanded their lead in the final period when Jacob Moore connected with Connor Neuroth for a 32-yard touchdown pass. As the Wolverine defense held strong to the end, Nick Durnin sealed the deal with an 11-yard touchdown run with just under three minutes to go to bring the final score to 23-0.

“I thought our defense did another outstanding job tonight,” Coach Betts said. “Our defensive linemen - DJ Ackerson, Ben Latusek, Cole Wildeboer, Josh Latting and Chase Arends - controlled the line of scrimmage. Our linebackers -

Blaine Becker, Tyler Weise, Jake Sonnenberg and Nick Durnin - were flying to the football. To be able to shutout South Winn’s high powered offense is quite an accomplishment.”

The Wolverines held the Warrior offense to just 83 yards on the night.

Prior to Friday South Winneshiek had averaged over 320 offensive yards and scored an average of 28 points per game.

“Offensively, they really stacked the box and we struggled a little in the first half,” Betts said. “We were just missing on a block here or there. We made some halftime

adjustments and ours guys were able to move the ball in the second half.”

“Maybe the biggest play of the night was the field goal by Jackson Lage,” he said. “That got us on the scoreboard and seemed to light the fire for our team. Jackson has a strong leg and we have all the faith in the world in him.”

Trent Johnson led all rushers with 137 yards.

“I’m really proud of the way our guys battled and fought all night,” Betts said. “South Winn has an See WOLVERINES page 16

Denver powers into control of Class A, District 4 title race

By JOHN JENSEN The Grundy Register DENVER —Senior running backs Izaak Shedenhelm and Mitchel Siech combined for 431 rushing yards, lifting Denver to a 42-6 victory over Grundy Center in a battle of Class A, District 6 leaders Friday.

The Cyclones (6-1 overall, 4-0 in District 4) ran the ball straight at the Spartans (4-3, 3-1) behind one of the state’s largest offensive lines while winning their fourth straight game. Shedenhelm rushed for 226 yards on 25 carries and scored four touchdowns while Siech had 205 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries. Combined the backs averaged more than eight yards per carry.

“Physically at the point of a ttack it was tough,” Grundy Center coach Brent Thoren said. “We did a good job early, but we’ve got so many guys going both ways that they just leaned on us and wore us down.”

Grundy Center’s offense, meanwhile struggled to find its footing.

Denver held Spartan tailback Bryce Flater, the second-leading rusher in Class A, 71 yards on 24 carries while holding the Spartans to 121 yards of total offense.

“We just couldn’t get a lot of stuff going, at the point of attack or once we started to we’d have an untimely penalty or we lost some yardage ... ,” Thoren said.

The coach said his team hoped to be able to run the football against the Cyclones.

“We showed some signs of being able to do that, it just wasn’t consistent,” he said. “We just couldn’t get enough of it going to have it be a threat so that we could work on our play-action stuff.”

Spartan quarterback Austin Burroughs looked good at times, completing 6-of-10 passes for 59 yards, though he also had a pair of interceptions, one of which came on a controversial dual-possession call.

G-R earns 37-0 district win over AGWSR

By PATTI RUST The Grundy Register GLADBROOK – Scoreless after the first quarter, GladbrookReinbeck put together four scoring drives in the second period to take a 23-0 lead over AGWSR at the halfway mark. The Rebels would score once more in each of the remaining quarters to earn a 37-0 district win over the Cougars.

G-R’s Erick Stoakes scored first on a nine-yard run in the opening quarter. Jake Schuman then found Colton Dinsdale on a 28-yard scoring pass to put the Rebels up 140. Stoakes would find the end zone again on an 11-yard run, and Walker Thede made good on a 23-yard field goal attempt to give the Rebels the 23-0 halftime advantage.

Schuman connected with Erik Knaack on an 11-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to make it 30-0, and Dinsdale would reel in a 30-yard Schuman throw to close out the scoring for the night. Thede was 4-for-5 in point after kicks.

Schuman accounted for 154 yards of the Rebels’ 297 yards in offense, completing 7-of-13 passes for three touchdowns. Stoakes rushed for 79 yards and two TDs. Josh Balvanz and Nathan Karsjens combined for 128 yards of rushing for AGWSR. “Our kids were challenged by the physical play of the AGWSR players,” Gladbrook-Reinbeck head coach John Olson said. “We responded very well and got better throughout the game. Our defense did a tremendous job from start to finish keeping it to a shutout. We look forward to a big game coming up vs. Grundy Center this week.”

AGWSR (2-5 overall, 2-3 District A-4) will host North Tama Friday, Oct. 16, while G-R (5-2 overall, 3-1 District A-4) will play at Grundy Center.

Spartans among top eight at elite Cedar Rapids Tournament

By PATTI RUST The Grundy Register CEDAR RAPIDS – The Grundy Center volleyball team finished in the top eight among a field of 24 teams, 16 of them ranked, at a tournament hosted by Cedar Rapids Jefferson Saturday. The Spartans claimed three match wins in pool play before bowing out in the quarterfinal to Class 5A No. 7 Ankeny Centennial.

“The Jefferson tournament was a great tournament for us to play in towards the end of the regular season,” Spartan head coach Lori Willis said. “To finish in the top eight is an awesome feat for the girls.”

Grundy Center opened the day against Class 2A North Cedar of Stanwood, where the first set went back and forth until the Spartans found their serving groove and put the match away, 21-14, 21-10.

Next up was Class 5A Cedar Rapids Jefferson, and again Grundy Center claimed the match in two sets, 21-12, 21-16.

“The girls did a great job with blocking in this match which allowed for our defense to turn into good offense,” Willis said. “We were able to run many different plays against Jefferson which was very fun for the girls.”

In their final match of pool play a win for Grundy Center would mean first place in their pool and moving on to the gold bracket.

Their opponent – Class 4A No. 3 Marion – a team the Spartans had split matches with earlier in the season. Grundy Center controlled the first set until Marion made a late surge, but the Spartans held on for a 23-21 win. The Spartans found themselves down early in the second set, and fell 15-21 despite gaining some momentum late. They carried that momentum into the third set and it was all Grundy Center, as the Spartans took the set and the match

with a 15-6 win.

“The girls dominated from the service line right away and never let up,” Willis said. “In that match the girls did some really amazing things that they haven’t done before, which is a sign we are getting better.”

In their opening match of the gold bracket Grundy Center was paired up with Class 5A No. 7 Ankeny Centennial, who jumped out to a huge lead.

“We weren’t passing well which made it tough to run our offense,” Coach Willis said. “When we were able to get something going Centennial came right back at us with lots of power.”

The Spartans were able to settle down and battle back with aggressive serving, but couldn’t overcome the early deficit and fell 18-25 in the first set.

At the start of set two the Spartans were on a roll with their serving and had the Jaguars on their heels making changes. With Grundy Center up 14-9 Centennial rotated into a taller front row, blocking their way back into the game with an 11-1 run before claiming the match with a 17-25 set win.

Ankeny Centennial would go on to take the tournament crown with a 15-25, 25-23, 15-7 win over West Des Moines Dowling, and a 15-25, 25-22, 15-12 win over West Delaware.

“Centennial is a very tall and great team who proved it by beating everyone this past Saturday,” Coach Willis said. “We still felt very good about our performance this past weekend. We used our strengths very well, we are improving on our weaknesses, and we are gaining confidence that we can challenge and win against the large schools in Iowa. Now we will work on taking that confidence into our post season play.“

Piper Johanns led the Spartans with 36 digs and a 32-for-33 performance from the serving line with five aces. Katie Lindeman, Hana Edgerton, and Kayla Mathews led in kills with 17, 16, and 15 respectively.

Alyssa Mathews provided 64 assists and went 29for-29 in serving with three aces.

Edgerton and Kylie Willis had eight blocks apiece.

Earlier in the week BCLUW pushed Grundy Center to four sets before the Spartans claimed the NICL-West match 25-27, 25-20, 25-8, 25-10. Katie Lindeman led the Spartans in kills with 19 and Hana Edgerton added 13. Alyssa Mathews set up 41 assists and went 19-for-20 in serving with three aces. On defense Kylie Willis had a match high seven blocks, and Kayla Mathews recorded 21 digs. Sydney Mathews was 19-for-20 in serving.

Grundy Center (26-8, 6-0 NICLWest) was set to host AGWSR for their final match of the regular season on Tuesday, Oct. 13.

Alana Groninga and Rachel Frazier combined for 19 kills on offense, and Abbie Young and Mel Morones provided a total of 31 digs on defense.

In a non-conference battle at Iowa Falls Thursday the Cougars went four sets with the Cadets before dropping the match 3-1. Iowa Falls claimed the first two sets 1825, 9-25, but AGWSR bounced back to win a close third set 26-24.

The fourth and final set went to the Cadets 13-25. Katie Gast and Alana Groninga teamed up for 23 assists, with the aid of Mandy Willems who

In their home match with East Marshall Tuesday AGWSR claimed a conference win in three straight sets, 25-17, 25-21, 25-17. The strong team effort by the Cougars saw many AGWSR players reach double figures in multiple stats categories.

Alana Groninga recorded eight kills, 22 digs, three blocks, and went 11-for-11 in serving with one ace.

Rachel Frazier led in kills with 11, and Mandy Willems set the Cougar offense up with 25 assists. Maddie Brandt scored eight kills, blocked four attempts at the net, and served 12-for-13 with an ace.

Set two was more of the same.

The teams were tied 9-9 when a pair of Baylee Petersen service aces helped D-NH build a 13-9 advantage. S-F came back to tie the set 17-17 before a Nielsen kill gave the Wolverines the lead for good. D-NH finished the set with an 8-1 rally.

The second-set loss appeared to take the wind from Sumner-Fredericksburg’s sails. The Cougars committed four technical violations on the first eight serves of the third set as the Wolverines built a 7-1 lead.

Nielsen had the service run of the night, putting up 12 straight points as D-NH built a 20-5 lead.

Petersen led the Wolverines with nine kills while Nielsen had eight and Taylor Hedges seven. Hedges also had 27 assists and Sydney Petersen recorded 18 of Dike-New Hartford’s 36 digs. Nielsen went 19of-21 from the service line with five aces.

Spartans

From page 15 enhelm took a third-and-three trap play up the middle for a 73-yard score. A Spartan turnover set the ‘Clones up for one final touchdown before halftime.

Grundy Center drove deep into Denver territory on its first possession of the second half and appeared to have a first down after the Cyclones were flagged for a personal foul on fourth down. Officials ruled, however, that the infraction had come after Grundy Center’s play had been ruled dead, turning the ball back to Denver, which scored nine plays later. The Spartans’ second turnover of the night set up Denver’s final touchdown.

Despite the loss, Thoren said things remain upbeat for the Spartans.

“I’m happy with where we’re at and where we’re moving to,” he said. “I like our kids, and when you’re starting all sophomores on the offensive line there’s a lot of good things to happen in the

future.”

Up Next The Spartans wrap up their regular season with back-to-back home games, first against GladbrookReinbeck Friday and then against North Tama next week. Wins in both games would secure a firstround home playoff game for the Spartans. Denver looks to clinch the District 4 title Friday when it hosts Wapsie Valley.

D-NH girls, boys go 4th at own invite GC/G-R girls tie for 5th in close girls’ team race

By PATTI RUST The Grundy Register DIKE – The Dike-New Hartford boys’ and girls’ cross country teams both placed fourth at their own Wolverine Invitational last Tuesday under near perfect conditions at the Fox Ride Golf Course. Charles City won the girls’ team title with a score of 74. Dike-New Hartford’s 153 was good for fourth, 15 marks ahead of Grundy Center and Denver who tied for fifth at 168. West Marshall finished one point shy of a three-way tie with 169. The Iowa Falls-Alden/ AGWSR girls went 10th among 16 scoring teams.

In the boys’ competition Grinnell outpaced the rest of the field by a margin of 100 points, taking the team title with the low score of 34 points. Dike-New Hartford went fourth with 149, seven points behind third place Denver. The Grundy Center boys went ninth among 21 scoring teams and Iowa Falls-Alden/ AGWSR finished 14th.

“All teams did an outstanding job,” Dike-New Hartford head coach Will Reingardt said. “It is neat to see Northeast Iowa teams compete at such a high level each year. There were close to 1,000 runners that competed.”

Hayle Luna led the Wolverine girls with a fifth place finish in 20:03, and Alayna Kollasch went 11th with a time of 20:33. Livvy Eiklenborg (21:37) finished in the 35th place spot, while Kelsey Bakken (22:17) and Kadi Wright (22:23) placed 51st and 54th.

“Haylee Luna has really broke through the last couple weeks and is understanding how to run the 5K,” Reingardt said. “She set a new personal record for herself. Alayna Kollasch wasn’t too far behind.

Alayna has taken on the challenge and is becoming stronger each meet.

Livvy, Kelsey, and Kadi put together nice races. I can’t say enough about Jenna Hensley’s efforts; she knows how to battle against herself and she is seeing positive results.”

John Crew earned the top finish for the Dike-New Hartford boys, going third with a time of 15:58.

Nate Sharp (17:14) went 16th and Bryce Dall (18:02) 36th. Jakob Luna (18:12) and Collin Vanderlind (18:34) rounded out the Wolverine team score with 41st and 57th place finishes.

“John Crew breaking 16 minutes was a huge confidence boost for him,” Coach Reingardt said. “Nate Sharp keeps getting closer to the 16’s and he works so hard. Bryce Dall and Jakob Luna pushed their efforts up and it is paying off. We now need our number five through seven runners to get more uncomfortable and figure out how to get closer to Bryce and Jakob.”

“We had 30 personal records broken,” Reingardt said. “(I’m) proud of this team and how far they have come this season, but the challenge is to never settle and keep moving forward, especially at this point of the season.”

Lily Ehlers (21:00), Mellina Wrage (21:02), and Tiana Saak (21:15) paced the Spartan girls with their 20th, 21st, and 26th place finishes respectively. Cora Saak (22:13) went 47th and Reegan Zinkula (22:34) 58th.

“Our girls ran strong races and they continue to regroup after some frustrating injuries,” Grundy Center/ Gladbrook-Reinbeck coach Andy McQuillen said. “We were really pleased to see this group grow from meet to meet and continue to be hungry to be better.”

Finn Cleveland and Dylan Hendricks went 21st and 22nd for the GC/G-R boys with times of 17:20 and 17:25. Max Schweppe (18:56) finished 69th, and Joe Kanagy (19:28) and Brady Appel (19:29) went 82nd and 83rd.

“We had all seven boys run under 20 minutes, which is awesome when you see that none of them are seniors,” McQuillen said. “We had a very solid meet. The boys and girls really performed at a high level. We have two young varsity teams and these kids are really starting to run their best as we finish the season.”

As in other meets this season, the Iowa Falls-Alden/AGWSR girls’ team had strong leadership from Bethany Lippert and Aubrie Fisher.

Lippert went second individually with a time of 19:37, and Fisher third in 19:47. Katie Meyer (23:16) placed 73rd, Arin Jelmeland (24:19) 92nd, and Tessa Van Buskirk (24:23) 94th.

“Based on years past, I knew this meet would offer the potential for several runners to earn their personal record,” IF-A/AGWSR girls’ coach Jamie Maxwell said. “The course is very flat, the weather was perfect, and the girls were ready to run. The pattern continued again this year, every runner on the team earned their new PR. Arin (Jelmeland) and Breanna (Fisher) showed big improvement on varsity, taking nearly one minute and 30 seconds off of their best time this season. If this was any indicator of how we will do in the NCC, I think we could expect a top four finish as a team.”

IF-A/AGWSR boys’ coach Micheal Rottink also anticipated many personal records at Fox Ridge, and the Cadet runners did not disappoint as each runner on the boys’ team also earned their all-time PR. “I also expected we’d crack the top 10 for team scores,” Rottink said. “Unfortunately, we had three of our top seven out with injuries for this meet, so that meant we had to focus more on individual goals.”

Brayden Penning (18:05), Seth Mazoway (18:17), and Thomas Burchfield (18:18) led the Cadet boys with 38th, 45th, and 46th place finishes. Adam Long (19:50) went 93rd and Cameron Zolnosky (20:38) 108th.

“I was proud that the guys raced the competition at the meet, instead of just settling for what they already expected going in would be fast times,” Coach Rottink said.

“I rarely highlight individuals for stories about my team, just because the focus in cross country is already so often on individuals instead of the overall team, and I prefer to talk about the success and effort of team as a whole. But Thomas Burchfield has been improving tremendously during his final season as a runner, and ran a great race - third on the team, but only 13 seconds behind Penning and one behind Mazoway.

He also shaved three minutes off of his time from last year, which was his last year’s PR, so I’m very impressed with that individual effort but again, also with the entire team. Carter Krukow, for example, stepped up to run varsity for us again this meet, and busted out a new PR by nearly a minute and a half, and that type of effort was typical of our runners across the board.”

“At this point heading into the NCC meet, we’ve got conditioning down, so we’re working on power

and speed, in the hopes we can gut out a few extra places and shave some points,” Rottink said. “It’s unlikely we’ll have those three varsity (runners with injuries) Berke, Smith, and Osterman - back for conference.”

The Iowa Falls-Alden/ AGWSR runners were scheduled to compete at the North Central Conference meet at Hampton on Tuesday, Oct. 13. Dike-New Hartford and Grundy Center/GladbrookReinbeck were scheduled to run at the Union Invitational at La Porte City on Tuesday, before heading to the North Iowa Cedar League meet at Reinbeck on Saturday.
