VOLUME 135 NUMBER 24

Liscomb, Union, Whitten gear up for city elections By ROB MAHARRY The Record HARDIN, MARSHALL COUNTIES- Election day is now less than a week away, voters in Liscomb, Union and Whitten are gearing up to vote as two of the three BCLUW communities outside of Grundy County will have contested seats in 2015. In Liscomb, four candidates are running for the three four-year openings, and there are currently no candidates for the two-year term, which will likely be determined by write-in votes.

Incumbents Jerry Gunderson and Esther Mosher will run for the fouryear seats along with newcomers Larry Olson and Heather Robinson. Current mayor Hank Penner is the only mayoral candidate and will run to serve his second term in that position. In Union, former mayor Tom Pieper and current mayor Cindy Clemons will compete for that position after Pieper was ousted two years ago by Marty Rogers, who resigned from the post in July of 2015. Clemons has held the position since August, when the

council voted 4-0 to appoint her to fill the vacancy. Incumbent Cheryl Halverson will run for a full term open spot, and fellow incumbent Nathan Bernard will run for another unexpired term on the council. In Whitten, Erin Cross is the only mayoral candidate, and there are currently two open seats on the council with no declared candidates. Voters in Liscomb can cast their votes at the community center, and Union and Whitten voters can vote at their respective city halls on Tuesday.

Pumpkin Fest

Supervisors approve annex building design By JOHN JENSEN Mid-America Publishing GRUNDY CENTER — The Grundy County Board of Supervisors Monday gave preliminary approval to the design of its new annex building. Mardy Holst of AHST Architects presented designs revised from those presented earlier this month. Supervisors chose a design that included a stone base and brick over it that Holst said will mimic material used on both the Grundy County Courthouse and the Kling Memorial Library. The design also includes changes to the floor plan, including dashedin areas to indicate walls in the undeveloped portion of the building as well as a straight staircase, instead of a switchback, to make it easier to take larger items to the basement. Holst said the design is close to complete, though he still plans to talk more to Public Health about the designs for its area. Supervisors asked whether there

would be space in the building for Juvenile Services and the Department of Human Services (DHS), which have space in the current annex building but are not in their offices in a daily basis. “The thought was that both of them could share that undesignated office,” Holst said. Much of the conversation with Holst surrounded what to do about a storage area where the maintenance staff could keep its exterior maintenance equipment. Supervisor Jim Ross said he would prefer to see that incorporated into the building rather than be a separate structure, though others were not as convinced that was necessary. “I think what we’re going to run into when you look on the site plan is that we’re running out of lot length,” Holst said. Ross asked if the building could be wider to accommodate the storage shed, though Holst said that could make parking a little too tight. The architect added that he could do the shed in brick so that it does not

stand out from the building itself, though Riekena asked why that was necessary. Riekena also asked why there was a need for heat in the shed. Custodian Mark Jungling answered that the heat was needed so that snow removal equipment can thaw between jobs. Board chair Mark Schildroth stemmed the conversation, noting that he did not want concern over the maintenance shed holding up the building project. Supervisors voted 3-1 to allow Holst to proceed with the project. Ross voted against the motion, noting that he want the maintenance facility included as part of the building. IN OTHER BUSINESS, Supervisors heard a quarterly report from Grundy County Public Health Manager Wendy Monaghan. They also approved a utility permit for Grundy County REC to replace a transformer pole west of Grundy Center.

BCLUW ‘Night of Champions’ to feature guest speakers, wrestling room dedication By ROB MAHARRY The Record CONRAD- In the vein of “Meet the Comets” night, which was held before the fall sports season, the BCLUW sports boosters are trying something new for the 20152016 winter sports campaign: the “Night of Champions,” which will be held on Saturday, November 7 at the high school and feature motivational speeches from former Wartburg wrestling coach Jim Miller and Aaron Thomas of Aplington-Parkersburg. The day will begin with a wrestling clinic, which will run from 2:30 to 4:30 P.M. for fourth through 12 th graders and then another one from 4:30 to 6:00 P.M. for kindergarten through third graders. The clinic will be conducted by three-time NCAA wrestling champion Kenny Anderson. The sports boosters will then serve a free will donation meal from 5:00 to 6:30 P.M. that will include include pulled pork, cheesy

potatoes, fruit, dessert and a drink, and the public will be invited to tour the new wrestling room during that time. At 6:30, an official dedication of the new facility will be held, followed by a brief introduction and preview of the winter sports teams from each coach and then the speeches from Miller and Thomas. Miller is a 10-time national team champion coach at Wartburg, a twotime national champion wrestler at UNI and a member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Thomas-the son of perhaps the most legendary coach in Iowa high school athletic history, the late Ed Thomas- is currently the principal at his alma mater AplingtonParkersburg and also serves as the head basketball coach. He coached the Falcons to a state berth in 2015 and also played for Drake University during his college years. “We haven’t had our own wrestling room in this town, and we want to use it to the max,” BCLUW elementary principal Mitch Parker,

who wrestled at Wartburg in college and has been active in the program since coming here, said. “We wanted to have a clinic, but also more than just a clinic. We want the kids to learn a lesson about how to be a champion in life.” Mindy Ashton of the sports boosters added that special occasions like this don’t come along often and that the group hopes to see a large turnout among members of the BCLUW communities. “We just wanted to make it a big deal… the wrestling room has been a dream of the school, so whatever we can do to help make it happen is great. We just wanted it to be a first class event and get some people here who might not normally come,” she said. “It’s an opportunity for kids and members of our community to hear (Miller and Thomas) speak for free. It’s a pretty elite event.” Members of the public are invited to attend the event.

MAT Tumbling holds fall camp

The MAT Tumbling and Trampoline gym recently held its annual Fall Camp for children ages 4 and up at its Marshalltown location. There we over 25 athletes present for the two-day camp, which offered an introduction to tumbling, trampoline, and gymnastics. Campers could be seen rolling, flipping, and jumping all over the gym as they learned tumbling skills, shapes, and techniques. Each day athletes utilized different stations throughout the gym including the in-ground foam block pit, the Olympic trampoline, elevated rod floor, double mini trampoline, tumble track, and numerous skill-building shapes such as octagons and wedges. Athletes left with smiling, red faces and all received a goody bag after completing the camp. MAT is celebrating its 20th year of providing opportunities for area youth to learn and grow in a fun environment with a sport full of opportunities.

The Record

Opinion

My Three Cents Worth

Someday we’ll go all the way Well, I guess that for the 107 straight year, it just wasn’t our year. For th

all of the excitement surrounding the Cubs, they ran into a buzz saw in the form of Daniel Murphy and the New York Mets, and the curse will live on for at least one more year. While the ending didn’t play out the way it should’ve, it sure was one heck of an enjoyable ride. If there’s any silver lining in getting swept (and quite frankly dominated) coming off of a series win against your biggest rival, it’s that this Chicago team is built to win for a long time. This isn’t just some flash in the pan, one and done fluke: when Theo Epstein took over this team, he wasn’t looking for a short-term fix, but rather long-term success. But still, there are concerns By Rob Maharry going forward: staff aces Jake Arrieta and Jon Lester were mediocre to downright bad in the postseason, and the offense struggled to produce runs without the constant barrage of long balls that carried it through the NLDS. For my dad’s sake, I hope the Royals can take the World Series this time around and exact a little revenge on those pesky Mets and their suddenly giant legion of fans that were probably wearing Yankees gear 10 years ago. If it can’t be the Cubs hoisting the trophy, I’d at least like to see it kept in the Midwest with another team that has orchestrated a dramatic turnaround over the last few seasons. So now, my sports focus turns to the improbably, inconceivably undefeated Iowa Hawkeyes football team and coming to grips with the fact that if they take care of business, we could actually see a 12-0 team heading into the B1G Championship Game. Maybe it’s just the jaded sports fan in me, but every game from here on out- disregarding the fact that all of the teams are extremely beatable- feels like we’re in a one-game playoff with almost all of the sports world rooting against us. We’ve heard it all before“Big 10 football is boring.” “Iowa is a fluke; they don’t play anyone.” “They’d be a .500 team in the Big 12 or the SEC.” And I’m sure we’ll hear plenty more of it, but the beauty of the way things are set up is that Iowa more or less completely controls its own destiny. We don’t have to worry about other teams losing, the margin of victory or any other extenuating circumstances- we just have to step out onto the field and win, no matter how ugly it may be. In my lifetime, the Hawkeye season I remember more than any other is undoubtedly 2009, when we finished 10-2 and won the Rose Bowl thanks to a slew of narrow wins and the roller coaster ride that was Ricky Stanzi during my freshman year of college. I have to say that 2015 has a similar feel in that we’re just finding ways to win, style points be darned, but the beating CJ Beathard has taken is definitely concerning, especially when you recall that when Stanzi went down against Northwestern, Iowa finally suffered its first loss of the season. The bye week couldn’t have come at a better time, and we can only hope that CJB returns to action on Halloween physically and mentally refreshed as we take on Maryland. So I guess I’ll have to wait at least another year to fly the W for an entire offseason in honor of the Cubbies finally finishing the job, but if Iowa ran the table this year, it would be every bit as thrilling. I’ve followed the Hawks through some awesome and awful years, and this one feels even sweeter after some of our recent failures. As I prepare to endure the cold winter months and another year of the Cubs fan’s blues, the lyrics of Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder’s tribute to his favorite team keep me positive and optimistic that someday, we will indeed go all the way. And what a special day that will be. “Don't let anyone say that it's just a game. For I've seen other teams, and it's never the same. When you're born in Chicago, you're blessed and you're healed, the first time you walk into Wrigley Field. Our heroes wear pinstripes, heroes in blue. Give us the chance to feel like heroes too. Forever we'll win and if we should lose, we know someday we'll go all the way, yeah. Someday, we'll go all the way.”- Eddie Vedder

A blind made for one but held two

By NICK BUSEMAN Grundy County Conservation Operation Supervisor Armed with his BB gun and a lanyard draped around his neck; my 5-year-old son is ready for the goose blind. Every year my cousins from Wichita, Kansas make the trek north to Butler County to help me finish up harvest, and attempt to outsmart a few honkers. Years past I relished in the opportunity to shoulder my Beretta 12 gauge and pull the trigger on a couple large Canadian honkers. The last couple of years have had a much different joy for me. Both my daughter and son love the opportunity to snuggle with me in a one man layout goose blind and watch the geese circle us and set their wings and commit to the decoys. So the shotgun stays in the truck, words I thought I would never say. Watching both of my children assembling the goose decoys and positioning them where I want them in the decoy spread and lacing corn stalks in the blinds for extra concealment is a joy. I can’t help but to assist them with a smile on my face. This is want our role as outdoorsman is all about; giving our children and other youngsters the joy and excitement that hunting and other outdoor activities can provide. After all the decoys are placed exactly where I feel they should be; it’s time to crawl in the blinds. My son Clay touting his Red Rider BB gun crawls in with me and places a call to his mouth and begins to blow; making anything but a proper sound-

ing noise ring across the large corn field, but he is loving every minute. After a short calling lesson, I finally convince him scour the sky for geese flying our way; which turns into every crow or black bird being a goose in his eyes. Next I tell him he has to listen because often times you will hear the geese before you see them. Set up straight downwind of their roosting pond the sound of geese was easy to hear, and caused his excitement to elevate. The biggest challenge with taking your 5 year old is patience and sitting still. As soon as the geese started to fly he seemed mesmerized by the birds working us and me calling. With wings set and birds committed I opened the blind just a crack so he could see them coming right for us. Giving the command I told my cousins to take them and I plugged my son’s ears and down the birds fell. Excitement seemed to ramp up even higher when I gave Clay the command to go get them. I will never forget him jumping from the blind, grabbing his BB gun and now his hunt was on. With BB gun shouldered he approached the large birds and I gave him the command to take them and he sent a BB into the down of the already dead goose. But to him it was his goose and he is the one that shot it. A great moment. Experiences like we enjoyed this past weekend is one that both of my children and the rest of my family will look back on and smile about. As for Clay he is hooked. Remember to pass it on.

THE RECORD

The REACH Act

Question: Why are you working to advance Medicare reforms for rural hospitals? Answer: This past year, I’ve heard a good deal of feedback from my town meetings in Iowa that acute health care services in rural areas of our state are at risk. A shrinking pool of patients is exposing a funding shortfall that is hurting small town hospitals. Many people who live in small town Iowa would rank the top four most important institutions in their community as the school, the bank, the hospital and their place of worship. Iowa farmers are spending countless hours bringing in the fall harvest. As too many farm families know, tragic accidents occur around farm machinery, grain bins, tractor roll-overs and power-take-off shafts, when clothing or appendages get caught up in the rotating device. That’s when timing and access to critical health care are especially critical. As the population growth in Iowa continues to migrate toward urban, metropolitan hubs, policymakers need to address how the demographic shift affects services in our rural areas. That includes making sure Medicare recipients in sparsely populated communities aren’t left without critical health care services, as an example. That’s especially true for emergency medicine. The National Conference of State Legislatures reports that 60 percent of trauma deaths take place in rural areas, where only 15 percent of the population lives. Arguably, distance and response time to the nearest E.R. play a contributing factor to saving lives and limbs. By not requiring rural hospitals to maintain inpatient care for participation in the Medicare program, my Rural Emergency Acute Care Hospital (REACH) Act would give eligible hometown hospitals a lifeline to help keep their doors open. In addition to providing emergency medicine, they may also expand their purpose and sustainability by converting space for other medical services to serve their community, such as telemedicine, nursing home care, skilled nursing facility care, infusion services, home health and hospice. A more favorable Medicare payment prescription would resuscitate around-the-clock emergency health care services in rural areas of the country and help keep good-paying jobs and vital medical services available close to home. Question: How would the REACH Act help? Answer: The REACH Act recognizes the unique challenges facing health care providers serving rural communities. Access to primary health care services, particularly emergency medicine, is a critical issue of concern for people who live and work in less populated areas of the country. And rural areas, especially in Iowa, have a greater share of older residents who receive health care services paid for by Medicare. Without a doubt, Medicare creates a big footprint across the network of hospitals and health care providers serving 531,209 Iowans. Medicare spends $4.3 billion per year in Iowa and a lion’s share of rural health care providers depend on Medicare business to stay in business. As an outspoken advocate for rural America and a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, which has legislative jurisdiction and oversight authority of the federal health insurance program for older and disabled citizens, I make it known loud and clear that Medicare needs to measure up to the needs of Iowa taxpayers, beneficiaries and providers. To serve rural residents and modernize Medicare policies to better reflect community needs, I introduced the REACH Act this summer. It would create new flexibility and fix the payment structure so that reimbursements for rural emergency outpatient health care services are not tied to inpatient volume. Basically, a boost in the reimbursement formula (110 percent of reasonable costs) would help rural providers keep their doors open for business, including ambulance and telehealth services. Specifically, free-standing 24-hour emergency medical care outlets in our rural communities would get higher payment injections to help them pay their bills, make payroll and serve local residents. Individual states would apply for certification to participate. My bill also adds incentives to encourage emergency medical professionals to practice in rural areas. The goal of these changes is a budget-neutral proposal with no additional spending overall. Question: Which rural hospitals would be eligible to participate under the REACH Act? Answer: If adopted, my bill would designate as a rural emergency hospital any facility that is a critical access hospital, or a hospital with at most 50 beds located in a county. In addition, a rural emergency hospital must provide 24-hour emergency medical care. And, the facility does not provide acute care inpatient beds. It also must follow protocols for the timely transfer of patients to appropriate inpatient service providers. My bill would require that Medicare Part B cover rural emergency health care services and the ambulance services to transport patients who require inpatient care to a critical access hospital or full-service hospital. Finally, the facility must receive approval from the state and certification by the Department of Health and Human Services.

The Record

Comets coast past Tigers in postseason opener By SCOTT BIERLE Mid-America Publishing CONRAD- The BCLUW volleyball team had little trouble advancing past South Hardin in the opening round of Class 2A regional play in Conrad last Tuesday night as the host Comets netted a 25-11, 25-20, 25-13 victory over the Tigers to play another day. “I just thought they were scrappy. They weren’t letting anything drop. They still really weren’t hitting at us much. There was still a lot of pushes and rolls, and nothing we put at them was going down easy,” stated BCLUW coach Kristin Garber. After dominating game one, BCLUW had to battle to go up 2-0 with the five-point win. The Comets then cruised again in the third set. “We got our energy going in the second set,” noted South Hardin coach Heidi Mills. “We got into our system and when we do that we can play well. We still have our errors in serving and attacking, we just don’t have the experience to execute.” The Comets improved to 3-0 in matches and 8-0 in games against South Hardin with the sweep, winning an earlier conference match in three and took two games at a tournament. Garber noted, “It was a hard game to find our rhythm. A lot of unexpected stuff coming at you, can’t really predict what’s coming. It was just hard to find our groove, but I thought we did do that at times. Our hitters were working up to get swings.” The Comets’ frontline attack finished with 29 kills led by Olivia

Callaway’s nine on 17-of-20 hitting. Jordyn Beeghly buried six kills, going 12-of-14 and Hannah Sams five on 17-of-18 hitting with four kills for Samantha Ubben and three for Nicole Lutes. Bobbi Paper directed the attack with 23 assists. Paper landed three of the winner’s seven service aces, going 16-of-17 at the back line. Mikaela Simpson was 11-of-11 with two aces, while Callaway was 20-of-20 and Ubben and Kaylee Goecke had one service ace. Defensively, Callaway had 12 digs with 10 each for Goecke and Ubben with two blocks for Sams, Lutes and Beeghly. For the Tigers, Nina Priske was credited with seven kills and two blocks with three kills for Ashley McEwen, Chloe Edgerton and Lexi Ryan. BCLUW took charge early, scoring six of the first seven points and jumped to an 11-4 advantage in game one. A pair of McEwen kills and a Ryan service ace pulled the Tigers within 11-7. The Comets met the challenge with an 8-1 run behind two kills each for Callaway and Sams, and closed the game on an 11-4 spurt. South Hardin gained a 5-4 lead on two Paige Harrell service points, led 11-9 and later 14-11 in the second set. BCLUW responded by scoring eight of the next nine points fueled by a Callaway kill and four service points. The Tigers continued to battle and were within 22-20 on a Priske block. The hosts tallied the final three points with two Callaway kills around a South Hardin error. “I felt our back row played very

well. They kept a lot of balls up,” said Mills. The Comets closed the post-season contest in three, building an 11-3 lead with Callaway again at the serving stripe. The cushion was 17-8 as Simpson celebrated two service aces around a Sams block and Easton Swanson kill, while later Paper had two service aces and Lutes a kill. The win improved to the Comets to a lofty 25-8 and closed the campaign for the Tigers at 6-23. “We need to do a lot of technique work during the off season. We made a good first step this season, but have work to do,” said Mills. BCLUW advances to a Region 5 quarterfinal match Tuesday against rival Grundy Center on the Spartans’ home court. The seventh-ranked Spartans are 27-8 and own a 3-1 NICL West win over the Comets. “The number one key (against Grundy Center) is we have to be aggressive. Tips and rolls aren’t going to fall. They’re going to keep that stuff in play; we have to play power volleyball,” said Garber. She added, “We also have to stick together and pick each other up. Both teams will have runs in the match.” The BCLUW – Grundy Center winner advances to a Region 5 semifinal match Friday (Oct. 30) in Marshalltown against the WoodwardGranger – Ogden winner.

DORIS ELAINE KONECNE Doris Elaine Konecne, secretary for Union County Attorney Robert Rolfe, was found dead on the kitchen oor of her Creston apartment the morning of October 28, 1973. Overturned and broken furniture as well as numerous bruises around Konecne’s neck indicated she had been strangled after a struggle. First to arrive at the crime scene were Union County Deputy Sheriff James Hildebrand and Marion Manley, acting chief of police for the Creston Police Department. With foul play clearly evident, the two began taken evidentiary crime scene photos. Shortly after photographing the full crime scene, County Attorney Rolfe and County Sheriff Don Loy arrived on the scene and conducted their own walk-through. Once those two nished and left the scene, Hildebrand and Manley reentered the apartment, where they found the crime scene had been tampered with. Hildeb-

rand and Manley asked that an autopsy be conducted, but Loy and Rolfe denied the request, claiming that Konecne had died from an unfortunate accident while drinking alone. Konecne was rumored to be involved in an extramarital affair with both Rolfe and Loy. On the night of the death, Loy’s 15-year-old daughter allegedly overheard an explosive argument between her parents and her father’s secretary/mistress, Jule Sturzenegger, followed by a discussion among those three and County Attorney Rolfe, on how all of them would handle the unfortunate incidents that had transpired. No calls to the BCI (now known as the Iowa DCI) to request investigative assistance into Konecne’s suspicious death were ever made. An autopsy was not conducted. No criminal investigation took place. Konecne was buried in a turtleneck sweater to hide the choke marks on her neck.

The Record

Comets end season with Showers, Baker advance to state cross-country meet crushing loss to Denver BY ROB MAHARRY The Record CONRAD- BCLUW ended its 2015 season on a five-game losing streak after suffering a 68-7 defeat at the hands of district champion and fourth-ranked Denver on Senior Night in Conrad last Friday. The Cyclones relied on a balanced rushing attack en route to their highest point total of the season: senior Mitchel Siech racked up 153 yards and three touchdowns on just five carries (a 30.6 yard per carry average), and fellow senior Izaak Shedenhelm ran 14 times for 145 yards and three scores. Junior Eli Barrett also scored two touchdowns on four carries for 84 yards. Siech also scored on an 83-yard interception return. Quarterback Brad Barkema scored the lone touchdown of the night for the Comets on an eightyard scamper, but he finished the contest just 9-of-27 passing for 116 yards and two interceptions. Senior Colton Kruse led the ground game with nine carries for 25 yards, and Clay Silver hauled in three passes for 65 yards. Defensively, Silver led the Comets with 8.5 total tackles, and Caleb Engle and Storm Wiseman added 5.5 apiece. Punter Ted Switzer launched a total of seven punts and averaged 30.4 yards per attempt. The loss wrapped up another tough year for the Comets, who have gone just 4-14 during Coach Anthony Jahr’s first two seasons and finished with an identical record (2-7) to last year’s mark. BCLUW lost its final five games by a combined mark of 273-14, and all of the losses came by at least 40

points.Seven senior players wore the BCLUW uniform for the final time on Friday night: Austin Willett, Michael Bell, Kruse, Switzer, Nick Mills, Garrett Ferneau and Josh Myers. The Cyclones improved to 8-1 overall and 7-0 in district play, and they will host Mason City Newman (4-5) in a playoff opener on Wednesday night in Denver. Box score

By ROB MAHARRY The Record CEDAR FALLS- BCLUW’s dynamic junior duo of Ian Showers and Grant Baker continued their impressive run on Thursday night in Cedar Falls as both finished in the top 10 at a Class 1A regional meet and advanced to the state meet in Fort Dodge on Saturday. Among full-team competitors, Showers and Baker finished fifth and eighth, respectively (sixth and ninth when including incomplete teams), and both finished with times under 18 minutes: Showers in 17:47 and Baker in 17:55. The Comets finished sixth out of 19 teams at the meet with 170 points, and other varsity runners were freshman Caleb Silver (36th, 19:01), senior Devon Crompton (60 th , 19:52), freshman Neifer Ralston (61 st, 19:53), and seniors Orion Gunderson (67th, 20:05) and Clark Stevens (96th, 21:38). A total of 141 runners competed, and Denver (58 points), Hudson (75 points) and Dunkerton (117 points) advanced to the state meet as the top three teams. Dunkerton’s Jordan Yessak was the top individual in a time of 16:50. The girls’ season came to an end, as the Comets did not advance any runners to the state meet. Freshman Katie Thompson led the way with a 29th place finish and a time of 22:21, and senior Amelia Tonner was 41st in a time of 23:11. Samantha Schleisman (61st, 23:44), Madison Engle (60th, 24:14), Jorie Oaks (77th, 25:57), Sarah Schmitt (89 th, 26:57) and Milena Ralston (95th, 28:20) rounded out the lineup for BCLUW, which finished tied for ninth with Tripoli after totaling 258 places (technically 10 th due to a tiebreaker). West Fork (76 points), North Linn (88 points) and Jesup (116 points) were the team qualifiers for the girls, and Hudson’s Grace Jorgensen (20:01) was the top individual finisher. Showers has already made a splash in his first season as a Comet: after coming just short of qualifying for state as a sophomore at Clarke of Osceola last season, he came to BCLUW determined to get to Fort Dodge in 2015. For Baker, on the other hand, his ascent has been more gradual: the junior finished just 70th at the district meet as a freshman two years ago and 62nd as a sophomore. “Ian wanted Grant up there, and he knew Grant could get up there,” BCLUW cross-country coach Donna Fiscus said. Even in 2015, Baker was a middle of the pack runner for much of the season before finding a second wind down the stretch, and both he and Showers credit each other for pushing their own limits. “I’ve got to give (credit) mostly to him. (Showers) has just been really been motivational for me and the team,” Baker said. Showers admitted that while he didn’t get off on the best foot with some of his new teammates, the group has gelled throughout the year and encouraged each other to succeed. “Once Baker was able to get up there with me, it really made it more of a fight to try and go harder and compete a little bit more than what I was doing originally,” he said. “He actually gave me a little push that I needed to get through

(the season)… we thrived off of each other.” Baker and Showers finished within a second of each other at the NICL conference meet as both earned first team all-conference honors, and Baker, with a 17:09, finished ahead of Showers (17:10) for the first time all season. The friendly competition has pushed both of them to see how fast they can go, and Baker also credited recent Comet alums like Derek Coulter, Cole Silver and Tanner Teske for helping him to realize his potential as a runner. The duo is setting high goals for the state meet this weekend: Showers hopes to finish in the top 20, and Baker wants to finally record a time under 17 minutes for the first time in his career. Fiscus noted that because the Cedar Falls course where BCLUW ran regionals was a tougher one, she’s more concerned about placing and letting the times fall where they may. “If you think too much about time, then you’re not running in the race. You’re not competing in the race,” she said. “But (Baker and Showers) are smart enough that they know it goes hand in hand. They’re going to be fine.” With another year to run for the Comets ahead of them and the emergence of youngsters like Silver, Ralston and several junior high runners, both Showers and Baker are optimistic that BCLUW can move up even further next season and make the state meet as a team. The future definitely looks bright for the Comet boys.
