By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER- At its regular meeting on Monday morning, the Grundy County Board of Supervisors approved the low bid for the construction of a new annex building in Grundy Center.

King Construction of Iowa Falls submitted the low bid at a base price of $1,085,000 and $38 per cubic yard of soil replacement for the 5,119 square foot building, which will house the county’s mental health, general assistance, public health and substance abuse offices along with a DHS officer. It will be constructed on a lot next to the current annex building, which was built in the 1950’s and will be razed and turned into a parking lot upon the completion of the new facility.

Mardy Holst of AHTS Architects, who opened the bids and assisted the county in drawing up plans, said that he was happy with the process as the range from high to low among the five complete bids was just 14 percent. Bids were opened at last

YMCA welcomes members to new location

By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register

GRUNDY CENTER – As of July 1, the Grundy Family YMCA is now serving community members at its new location on the east edge of Grundy Center.

The building, which is currently occupied by the Grundy County REC, was purchased by the Grundy County Memorial Hospital back in April, and an agreement between the hospital and the Y has allowed the Y to lease the space.

Shortly after announcing plans to move to the new location, the Y launched a two-phase remodeling plan to maximize the facility to meet the needs of the community.

Phase one consisted of construction of the second entrance,

fitness flooring, and removal of walls to enlarge open spaces for fitness equipment.

Some of the equipment in the YMCA Fitness Center at the Grundy Center High School has been moved to the facility and new equipment has also been purchased.

New cardiovascular training machines include treadmills, ellipticals, AMT, bicycles and an additional NuStep. Strength equipment including squat racks, dumbbells and a new cable crossover machine will also be available.

The project was funded by the YMCA Founder’s Campaign that helped give the YMCA its start in

Terry Oltman

By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER – For the past 28 years, he’s spent each and every Felix Grundy Festival working behind the scenes; whether it was setting up street barricades and directing traffic as a police officer, driving the fire truck in the parade as a member of the fire department, responding to emergencies as an EMT for the ambulance crew, or just helping out with the festival on his days off After finally retiring in January

of this year, Terry Oltman was planning to enjoy his first Felix Grundy Festival off duty. But then he got the call – the call to be the 2016 Felix Grundy Festival Grand Marshal.

“My plan was to sit in the shade in my lawn chair and watch the parade from start to finish,” Oltman said. “And I guess that’ll wait another year.”

Oltman said he was surprised, but very honored to have been chosen.

“I’ve always just done my job

and kept to myself, so this was quite a shock and an honor,” he said.

Mindy Greany, Felix Grundy Committee Chair, said that the committee chose Oltman because of his many years of service with not only the festival, but the community in general.Oltman, who was born and raised in Grundy Center, has spent much of his life serving his hometown.

In October of 1980, he joined the Grundy Center Police Department as a reserve officer. In November of 1991 he was hired full time,

and he served the department until his retirement in January of 2016; In 1982, he joined the ambulance crew, where he worked on and off until 2013; and in May of 1983, he became a firefighter.

Throughout all of this, he found time to work with kids of the community.

“The main thing in my time with the local law enforcement and fire department is that I tried to center a lot of my attention on the kids,”

GRUNDY CENTER – The newly-formed Grundy Center Historical Society is bringing a bit of history to this year’s Felix Grundy Festival in the form of a pop up museum.

The museum, which will be hosted in the vacant store at 609 G Avenue, will be open July 5 – 10 to give visitors an inside look at the history of Grundy Center, and some of the unique people that have called this place home.

“Everyone has a story,” said Historical Society member Mary Doak. “Our goal is to share those stories.”

The museum will feature videos of Grundy Center residents, such as Jean Evans, sharing stories and memories of Grundy Center.

Vintage trophies and uniforms adorn the shelves and walls, and memorabilia from every era can be found within the museum walls.

One showcase at the museum is a giant sheet of paper on the wall that visually maps out when particular families first came to Grundy Center. Visitors are

“The pop up museum is just to give people a taste, a sampling of what we hope to offer,” Doak said.

She added that the hope is that people will visit the pop up museum and be inspired to share their story – whatever it may be – which would then be added to the permanent museum once it’s established.

Corrections

In a story that recently ran in the Grundy Register about the Grundy County Freedom Rock, it was incorrectly stated that the local Boy Scout troop would be doing landscaping around the rock. The troop provided the tent for the rock, but Ladehoff Landscaping of Conrad did the actual landscaping work. The Grundy Register apologizes for the error.

Last week’s story about the Board of Supervisors meeting incorrectly identified Mike Brannon as Mike Brandon when referencing his appointment to a board at the Grundy County Memorial Hospital. The Grundy Register apologizes for the error.

Local funeral home is first in Iowa to earn green certification

By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER – Abels & French-Hand Funeral Homes of Grundy Center, Dike, Eldora, Wellsburg and Reinbeck recently earned the NFDA’s (National Funeral Directors Association) green practices certification, officially making it the first funeral home in Iowa to gain this designation.

Rebecca Camp, general manager with the Abels & French-Hand Funeral Homes, said that for the past few years, there has been an increase in people asking about “green” or earth-friendly services.

In response, the funeral homes sought and gained the green certification in order to provide that option to families using their services.

“We know that funeral service is changing all the time and the needs of our families come first to us,” Camp said. “We are thrilled that we can offer more services than ever before.”

With the green certification, Abels & French-Hand is now able to offer formaldehyde-free embalming

and biodegradable caskets and urns.

The biodegradable caskets, which are made of willow, start to decompose after three months. The urns start to decompose as soon as they get wet.

Camp said that although it’s not as popular in this area, she thinks it’s possible the funeral homes may eventually offer shroud burials.

For a shroud burial, a person is wrapped in a linen cloth on a board before being placed directly into the ground for burial. She added that there’s even a local cemetery that’s currently discussing the option of opening up a green section of the cemetery which would make this possible, but that nothing is set in stone as of now.

“I think for our funeral homes here, it’s still very traditional, so I think it’s going to be a slow take off for these services, but that’s okay.

Whether or not it takes off, we’re prepared to do that if a family wants it,” Camp said, adding, “I think it’s a very select few who want it, but I think for those who want it, it will be very meaningful.”

William P. Riekena Charitable Trust is now taking applications for the 2016 Grant Awards Applications must be filed with the undersigned no later than July 18, 2016 For application forms, please contact: Seth R. Schroeder 630 G Avenue, P.O. Box 365 Grundy Center, IA 50638 319-824-6951

Grundy YMCA

From page 1 Grundy County in 2003, as well as the Sara Lee Yoder Charitable Trust, the Grundy County Community Foundation and a contribution from Emerson Process Management in Marshalltown.

As well as expanding equipment offerings, the move also allowed the Y to expand their hours of operation.

YMCA Fitness Center hours will now be Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Current weekend hours at the YMCA are Saturday from 7 to 10 a.m. and Sunday from 2 to 6 p.m.

Currently, the REC is still using the north and east sections of the building while waiting for their new location to be constructed in the Grundy Center Development Park north of town, and during that shared use, YMCA services will be offered in the west side of the building. Members will access the facility and park on the west side of the building.

After the REC moves to its new location, phase two of construction will begin.

Phase two will include remodeling the other sections of the building, and most likely the addition of shower facilities and

program or meeting rooms.

YMCA Director Andrew Peters said the specifics of the project will depend on what members think the Y needs to offer. Currently, the Y is surveying members about their input on hours, programming and amenities they wish to have available.

Peters said the hope is to have phase two underway before next June.

Until the Y acquires the rest of the building, Before and After School Care, Summer Day Camp, Youth wellness and Adult wellness programs will continue to be offered at the Upper Elementary School. The YMCA will continue to sublease space in the building from the City of Grundy Center.

After phase two is complete, the YMCA will relocate youth and adult wellness programs to the new location.

Though the Y moved into the new location last Friday, the grand opening at the new location won’t be held until sometime in early August, Peters said.

For more information about the Grundy Family YMCA, or to participate in the Y’s survey, contact Andrew Peters at apeters@ spartanpride.net.

Wild parsnip — worse since we last talked

By KEVIN WILLIAMS Grundy County Conservation Director A flowering weed has been in the news of late. The plant is called Wild Parsnip. Because of the impact it can have on your skin, my daughter suggested that I make it a topic for this news column. I wrote about it several years ago but because I doubt there are many scrapbooks that people keep of “My Favorite Kevin Williams’ News Columns” I decided to run the column again this week. From July 13, 2007: A drive in the country doesn’t have to be very long before you notice all of the yellow flowered plants growing in the ditches. The plant is called Wild Parsnip.

I got to know the plant early in my life. Growing up on a farm in Jasper County, I remember my first encounter with the plant very well. I had seen the yellow flower down near the creek but didn’t pay it much mind. It was a day or so later that I wondered what the blisters were that had developed on my arms. My Uncle Reece only had to have one look to tell me that it was Wild Dill – his name for the plant because the dried flower reminded him of the garden herb used to make dill pickles.

From that time on, I avoided the plant. Oh, I would have more encounters over the years. The blisters would sometimes be quite large. And they could be painful when bumped. Try as I would to prevent it, they would eventually break and be open sores for a time. And if it was a hot day and your skin was sweaty, it seemed to be worse. I later would learn that moisture and sunlight both could worsen the exposure.

I learned to avoid contact with the plant at any cost. If by chance you see me out on one of the county wildlife areas walking through the tall vegetation with my hands straight up in the air, don’t be alarmed. I am not being held hostage. I am only avoiding contact with that plant – wild parsnip.

Wild parsnip is an invasive plant – and an alien species. Wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa), a native of Eurasia, is an erect herbaceous plant related to the carrot family growing three to four feet in height. And much to my dismay, the wild parsnip pop-

ulation along Iowa’s roadsides, pastures and abandoned fields is getting much heavier across Iowa.

The plant grows in disturbed areas from dry to wet and especially it seems along roadsides. Once an infestation begins, it spreads across an area to form denser and denser stands that are difficult to control.

Wild parsnip contains chemicals in the leaves, stems, and flowers that can cause intense, localized skin burning or rashes and even blisters.

It seems that contact wild parsnip sap increases the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight giving a dermatitis like burn. When walking or working in areas where wild parsnip is present, the best advise is to wear gloves, long pants, and a long sleeved shirt to avoid contact.

If contact has occurred and causes blisters, it is best cover the affected area with cool, wet cloth, avoid letting the blisters rupture by keeping the area clean and applying antibiotic creams or powders. And for serious cases consult your doctor.

So what can we do about it? John Walkowiak with the IDNR has these recommendations. “Control of wild parsnip is difficult and requires good timing and persistence. To control a small amount of wild parsnip, cut the root one to two inches below the ground with a sharp shovel before the flowering begins. Cutting the plants before they flower in April or May can be successful, but wild parsnip may resprout. Natural resources land managers find the use of selected herbicides in the late winter or early spring shows the best results.”

As a prairie enthusiast, I hate to see it invade our native prairie remnants and prairie restorations. But sadly prescribed burns do not seem to harm the plants as they simply resprout.

Wild Parsnip is another plant to add to the growing list of invasive species. We all will suffer from its continued increase in the roadsides and wild areas but there is a bit of hope. Not everyone seems to have the same reactivity to the plant’s juice. I have encountered many people who report having contact with the plant and remained unscathed. I’m that way with Poison Ivy but that’s a topic for another column.

From page 1 Monday’s meeting, and Holst spent the last week reviewing them.

“The bidding came out very well, and (the contractors) were very competitive,” he said.

As all of the alternate bids for a garage came in at over $50,000, the board opted to stick with the base bid at this time. A motion from Supervisor Chuck Bakker to accept the bid from King passed by a 5-0 vote.

Assistant County Engineer Steve Cox addressed the board on several matters, and a contract with Petersen Contractors, Inc. of Reinbeck was approved for the replacement of a bridge north of Highway 175 on R Avenue. The board also voted to approve the replacement of flashing lights at the intersections of county roads D17 and D19 as well as D67 and T29.

Cox read bids for a host of county equipment that was for sale, and a total of 11 items were sold.

IN OTHER BUSINESS, the board: • Approved the auditor’s quarterly report.

• Approved the veteran’s affairs quarterly report.

• Approved a fireworks permit for the Grundy County Fair.

Cover Crop workshop at the Grundy County Fair

The Grundy Soil & Water Conservation District is planning another workshop on Wednesday July 20th at the Grundy County Fairgrounds.

This workshop will start at 9 am following the Tri-County Marketing Club meeting with ISU Economist Steve Johnson which starts at 7:30 am. These two meetings are being held during the Grundy County Fair, so there’s more to see and enjoy at the fair. Our SWCD board decided to look at “Cover Crop Economics” in these more difficult economic times.

Our first speaker was recommended to us by Sarah Carlson, the Midwest Cover Crop Expert with Practical Farmers of Iowa. He is Jerry Hatfield, Laboratory Director and Supervisory Plant Physiologist at the National Laboratory for Agriculture and Environment, formally the Agriculture Research Service located in Ames. He’s had numerous research projects on Soil, Plant, and Atmosphere Interaction. Recently authored a couple of books “Nitrogen in the Environment, Sources, Problems, and Management”, and the other is “The Farmers Decision: Balancing Economic Successful Agriculture with Environmental Quality”.

Our next speaker is Jack Boyer, a farmer from Reinbeck that has done research for Practical Farmers of Iowa on “Cover Crop Economics”.

He is very good at explaining how he did the research, and how he saves dollars using cover crops; you might say it pays him to use cover crops.

The last speakers Liz Juchems, Conservation Station Coordinator and Educator for the Iowa Learning Farms; and Jamie Benning, Water Quality Program Specialist for Iowa State University. Both did research on “Cover Crop Economics” and will speak on the results of their findings.

We will also be putting together a local panel of farmers using cover crops in their farm operations.

Please plan on attending this workshop. A meal will be provided following the workshop for all attendees. Please RSVP BY July 13, to Denise Freeseman at denise.freeseman@ia.nacdnet.net or call the SWCD office at 319-824-3634 ext.

Memory Lane

A Look back through The Grundy Register Compiled by Michaela Kendall 10 Years Ago This Week - 2006 Richelieu Foods, Inc. plans to break ground this month for a 30,000 square foot warehouse addition, company officials announced late last week. The $780,000 addition — 300 foot by 100 foot — will be located just north of the current plant located at the corner of A Ave. and 6th St. in the northern part of Grundy Center. The expansion is necessary, according to Walt Grineski, vice president of manufacturing for the plant, due to Richelieu Foods’ rapid expansion. The company has doubled the tonnage of product being produced at the Grundy Center facility, and is currently shipping product over the entire United States as well as Puerto Rico.

Marilyn Hawn and Jack Stumberg will be dressed for their roles at Mr. and Mrs. Felix Grundy this weekend for Grundy Center’s 19th Annual Felix Grundy Festival. You can be sure to spot them in the parade Saturday, July 8, scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. For those of you who may not know, Felix Grundy was a Tennessee statesman involved in naming Iowa’s counties when the state boundaries were being drawn up. While the real Felix Grundy never set foot in Grundy Center — or Grundy County, for that matter — his name is the focus of the community’s annual celebration. This photo was taken at the Mutch Museum in Grundy Center where many historical items dealing with the early years of settling this region are on display. The Mutch Museum will be open during the festival.

Are you ready for some great entertainment at Felix Grundy? If so, don’t miss the excitement of American Pie featuring Randy and Kathy Burris. This husband and wife team present a freshness and energy reminiscent of a more innocent, fun-loving era when hula hoops, hot rods, and sock hoppin’ Rock n’ Roll charmed a nation of Americans.

At the Center Theatre … “Mission Impossible III” and “Click.” Bar S Sliced Bacon … 2 for $4.69. Jumbo Meat Franks … 98 cents.

25 Years Ago This Week - 1991 The Grundy County Courthouse will be celebrating its centennial this weekend in Grundy Center. The two day celebration begins Friday morning with a ribbon cutting ceremony on the courthouse lawn. Governor Terry Branstad will be on hand to do the honors. Supervisor chairperson Helen Kopsa will present the governor with an Honorary Citizen Award, along with a souvenir box. The 4th and 5th graders from BCLUW will provide vocal entertainment during the ceremony.

The fourth annual Felix Grundy Festival will take place in Grundy Center this Friday and Saturday. The two-day celebration will feature one of the area’s largest parades, a carnival for the kids, a softball tournament, arts and crafts fair, community breakfast, food stands, an all-school reunion, three dances and lots of free stage entertainment.

On July 1, Dr. Don Buchanan, veterinarian, retired after forty years of service to the field of animal medicine. Buchanan, a graduate of Iowa State University, came to Grundy Center in the fall of 1952, and purchased his practice from Dr. Lawrence, opening his doors on January 2, 1953.

At the Center Theatre … “Backdraft.” Pringles … $1.19. State Fair burritos … 3 for $1.00.

50 Years Ago This Week - 1966 Robert Scalman. 23, son of Mrs. Edith Scalman, Grundy Center, was accidentally shot Monday evening while shooting pigeons on the Popes farm 6 miles northeast of Grundy Center. 70 pellets from a shotgun entered Sealman’s body above the waistline, striking his left side along the waistline in the chest area. About five pellets struck the young man’s face, but none hit the eyes. Sealman was brought to the Grundy hospital where he was attended by Dr. Rose, who removed as many of the pellets as possible. Some may never be removed. Scalman is reported to be making a satisfactory recovery.

Dean Werkman. two-year-old son of the Dick Werkmans was bitten by a dog Thursday forenoon at the Willis Nederhoff home near Wellsburg. The dog was asleep when the boy came near and kicked it. The boy had over a hundred stitches in the back of his head and ear. He was taken to the doctor’s office here and then to the Grundy Co. hospital. He returned home Saturday from the hospital.

The deadline is near for candidates to file for county office. In order that their names may appear on the official ballot in the Primary election. Sunday was the last day for filing for a state office, including the offices of state senator and state representative. Both parties have candidates for the senate and the house. Mrs. Virginia Korando, Grundy Center, is the democratic candidate for membership in the state legislature, and Harold O Fischer is the Republican candidate.

Shurfine peas … Five 16-oz. cans for 89 cents. Kidney beans … Ten 16oz. cans for $1.00. Shurfine zesty tasty sauerkraut … Eight 16-oz. cans for $1.00.

75 Years Ago This Week - 1941 Grundy county will receive 38 more miles of graveled roads this year than was expected when the 1941 road construction program was laid out early in the year. At that time 45 ¼ miles of secondary roads were designated for surfacing this year and the contract was let on that basis and the work is being done now.

The state’s farm-to-market road funds have recently been split up by the State Highway Commission and Grundy county’s portion of this fund is $40,641.68.

The entire amount is going to be used for road surfacing and it will gravel 38 miles. This additional gravel mileage in addition to the gravel contract let early in the year brings the total of secondary road miles of graveling in the county this year to 83 ¾ miles.

Dealers in cigarettes and beer in Grundy Center pay a license of $1,425 a year, all of which goes into the city treasury. There are four beer and 11 cigarette permits in Grundy Center. Dealers in cigarettes are paying a penalty of $25 a year to do business in a city rather than in a town. Before the last census was announced, Grundy Center was a town. Since the announcement of the last census, Grundy Center has been officially advanced to the city class. Cigarette dealers in towns are required to pay a license fee of $50 a year. In cities the license fee is $75. Grundy Center since it has become a city is collecting $275 more cigarette license fees a year. Beer and cigarette licenses expire on June 30. To continue in business after that date, dealers must have their application for a license approved and paid for in advance.

Anson Miller, who came to Grundy county with his parents in a covered wagon 72 years ago, died in a Marshalltown hospital last Thursday from old age and other complications. He was 80 years, 9 months and 28 days old. The Miller family acquired a home in Melrose township and the son Anson spent all of his life there. He never married and made his home with his parents during their lifetime. Following their death he lived alone. All of his active life was spent oh the farm. He had a wide acquaintance in the west part of the county and was held in high regard by them.

“Virginia” starts its engagement on Friday for two days at the Center Theatre.

Large Sunkist lemons … 29 cents per dozen. Cracker Jacks … 10 cents for 3 boxes. Cheese … 23 cents per lb. Soda crackers … 15 cents per 2 lb. box.

Letter to the editor

PURSUITS

An unexpected surprise

Last week I was feeling relatively uninspired, and so I put off writing my column. After that initial rush of excitement from my trip wore off, I was feeling stuck in that weird, nostalgic, post-vacation rut where you’re left thinking, ‘What’s next? What can top the excitement of that?’

But this week, inspiration came back to me in the form of a delightfully unexpected surprise.

As I arrived home from work on Thursday evening, I was greeted by my boyfriend Kyle and a tiny, wriggling, furry stranger – a baby pug, only eight-weeks old!

For about two years now, I’ve been (not so) subtly dropping hints to Kyle about how much I would love to have a pug. Their squishy, wrinkled faces, their pushed-in noses, and their curly-whirly tails are enough to make my heart melt.

But even though I’d been consciously dropping hints he wasn’t showing any interest, and I decided my pleas were going nowhere.

So, you can imagine how surprised I was when I came home to discover my new pug-baby that night.

While I can honestly say I never expected to be a mother at such a young age, I think I’m going to make a pretty good pug mom.

Needless to say, the little guy is going to be pretty spoiled.

And speaking of little guys, I still don’t have a name picked out for him!... (That doesn’t make me a bad pug mom does it?) I’m sure that if I had been given some advance notice, I would have spent several weeks frantically searching the internet for the perfect pug name before agonizing over the right one. But, he was a surprise, and I had no time to plan or prepare.

But that’s all well and good. I have several possibilities, but I don’t think I’ve found the perfect name quite yet…

On the list of serious considerations are: Leo (named after my favorite actor Leonardo DiCaprio and one of my favorite authors, Leo Tolstoy) or Oscar (after another favorite writer, Oscar Wilde) or Otis (named after the pug from the movie The Adventures of Milo and Otis).

Although I hope to have him named in the next few days, I’m taking suggestions, and if you have any pug-parenting advice for me, I’m all ears for that, too!

And in case you’re curious to see what the little guy looks like, I’ve included a photo of him just for you. I know, I know, he’s an angel.

And you can be sure you’ll hear all about our adventures together in coming columns!

To the editor: It is all about what is good for kids! That is a comment we often hear during school board meetings in Grundy Center. What is wrong with that comment? Nothing, absolutely nothing.

However, it doesn’t coincide with some of the decisions made by our administrator/board. Case in point: starting July 1 the YMCA and any other entity in our community will no longer be able to rent our district school buses/drivers to take YMCA children involved in the summer programs on educational as well as “fun” field trips. Really?! It is a recommendation from the Insurance company not to rent buses, but certainly not a requirement. The policy is acceptable to the Department of Education as well as the Athletic Association.

What is the problem then? Why doesn’t this make sense? It seems to me in a city our size we should be able to cooperate with other entities in our community for the best outcome for our kids. Isn’t that what our school board believes? Shouldn’t we expect to have our children ride on our buses?

I am left to believe that what is said by our administrator/board are just hollow words, sounds good but that is where it stops!

When I worked for GNB and was the New Perspective Club Director we often rented the buses from our district for short trips. It was a great partnership. Is cooperation no longer something we think is a good idea in our own community? I certainly hope not! But our school board often says we need to collaborate with our neighbors in adjacent communities, I guess not our neighbors next door anymore!?

It is my understanding that the Grundy Family YMCA has contacted neighboring districts who have no problem allowing us to rent their buses and they have the same insurance company. I guess they really believe it is about what is good for kids, even if they are not their districts kids!! I keep hoping for what once was the norm for decades… a community where we work together for the good of all.

Nutrition and sports performance class offered at GCMH GRUNDY CENTER - What a young person eats in the days and hours before his or her next sporting event can impact performance in the game or meet. High school and middle school student athletes, parents and coaches are invited to learn about the impact of nutrition on sports performance at the “Sports Nutrition 101” class offered by Grundy County Memorial Hospital and Grundy Family YMCA. The one-hour program is offered Monday, July 18, 6 p.m. at the hospital. Registered, licensed dietitian Crystal Petersen will share her knowledge.

“While eating cannot take the place of training and conditioning for your sport, eating well does help an athlete get more out of practice and competition,” Petersen said.

“I’m often asked about the timing of meals and snacks with an upcoming

game or meet, and the timing of food is important to the student athlete’s performance.”

Petersen will touch on a variety of topics in the one-hour program, including: fueling to maximize training and conditioning, fueling and hydrating for peak performance and eating practices that are detrimental to performance.

The program takes place in the hospital’s Education Room. Use Entrance #3 on the west side of the hospital. Registration is through the Grundy Family YMCA, either via the website www.blackhawkymca. org, or in person at the Y, located inside the Grundy Center High School or at its new facility, 102 E G Avenue, Grundy Center, beginning July 1. There is a modest cost for the class, and space is limited. You may phone Brenda Schmidt at 319-8244161 with questions.

Coach pitch Yellow team.

Volunteers with the Grundy County Memorial Hospital were among Iowans recognized by Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds, center, at the 33rd Iowa Governor’s Volunteer Awards in Cedar Falls. From left, Pat Hauser, Phyllis Modlin, Jan Ehrig, Reynolds, Joyce Middleton, and Carol Simms. The five Grundy County women have each volunteered more than five years and 1,200 hours with the hospital and hospital Foundation programs.

Hospital volunteers among those honored by Governor The 33rd Annual Iowa Governor’s Volunteer Awards recognized hundreds of Iowans, including five volunteers who were nominated for their volunteer service by the Grundy County Memorial Hospital.

Governor Terry E. Branstad and Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds were on hand for the special recognition ceremony June 28 at the Gallagher Bluedorn Center in Cedar Falls. Jan Ehrig of Reinbeck, and Pat Hauser, Joyce Middleton, Phyllis Modlin, and Carol Simms of Grundy Center were honored with individual awards for their length of service as volunteers at Grundy County Me-

morial Hospital.

“I am pleased to honor those who have given the precious gift of their time to meet essential needs across Iowa,” stated Governor Terry E. Branstad. “The commitment of these volunteers—and all volunteers— helps Iowa consistently remain in the top 10 states in the nation for its volunteerism rate.”

“Volunteering not only has a positive impact on the individuals receiving the service, but serving others transforms the volunteer themselves,” said Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds. “The dedication of the people selected for these awards of-

ten encourages others to become involved in service, and I am delighted to recognize them for their amazing contributions.”

Coordinated by Volunteer Iowa, the Governor’s Volunteer Award program provides a way for Iowa nonprofits, charitable organizations, and government entities to honor their volunteers with a prestigious, state-level award. Hundreds of volunteers are recognized each summer during ceremonies held at several locations around the state. More information and a complete list of 2016 honorees is available at volunteeriowa.org.

Dike News Reading and feeding The month of June was set up

for four sessions of Reading at the Dike Public Library, and with so many kids attending, it was decided by three area churches it would be a great time to provide a free lunch for those attending and others around town. The four Wednesdays of June saw over 300 kids and caregivers have lunch at the Dike community Center.

The Dike United Methodist, Liberty Baptist and St Gabriels Catholic churches were responsible for providing the lunches and on each Wednesday for 75 to 80 kids. On the final Wednesday the kids were treated to pizza from Slice.

The churches and all volunteers are thankful for the opportunity to serve our community and be a part of the children's summer program.

Learning continues during July with area churches Vacation Bible Schools. For dates and registration you need to call one of the area churches of your choice.

A fun time was had and more to be expected at each event.

F LA S H B A C K Tim Williamson

By DAVID PIKE Special to The Grundy Register Grundy Center has a great tradition of distance runners that many people may not realize. It started with Don Purvis in the 1930s, who held the school record for nearly 25 years until it was broken by Al Harberts in 1957. Both are Hall of Famers. Al’s record stood over 50 years until Hall of Famer Dana Schmidt broke it in the 21st century. But the fastest known mile time ever posted by a Grundy Center native as of 2016 was clocked by Hall of Famer Tim Williamson.

A tall, lanky kid who moved to Grundy in the fourth grade, Tim tried his hand at the usual sports like football and basketball. But Tim felt he wasn’t built for or coordinated enough for either, although he gave both sports a try. What Tim did find out as he got into high school was Tim Williamson shown above. that he could run. Specifically, he could run distance. Just a freshman in the spring of 1968, teammates remembered this green kid took to high school track quickly from the start and was running with the upper classmen in the half mile and mile runs pushing them in both practice and in meets.

There weren’t any distance stars on the Spartan track teams in the late 1960s.

That is until the last year of the decade. As a more mature sophomore, Tim Williamson not only out-ran his upperclassmen teammates in practice (this author was one of them), he was winning dual meets, triangular meets, and placing high in various invitationals. His race times steadily improved and Tim was soon anchoring medley and distance relays. That sophomore year, the two mile relay team qualified for State with Tim running anchor. One year later, Tim lead the two mile relay team to a State title while setting a school and State record of 8:12, running with teammates Lee Luhrs, Brian Borchardt, and Mark Carter.

Tim also ran cross country. He was undefeated as a junior and senior in the mile and two mile runs and set the course record in Grundy Center at 10:56. As a junior, he finished second in the State cross country meet running 10:19. The following year, Williamson finished second again, and therein lies a story.

Leading the whole race and pulling away with a comfortable margin as it neared the finish, Tim somehow missed seeing a course marker and went the wrong direction. He had to double-back to avoid disqualification and around the missed marker. By this time, he was passed by the second-place runner and didn’t have enough time to run him down before the race ended.

In one of his State wins, Tim remembers what an odd race the State cross country one mile championship was. It was run on a track instead of a typical cross country course. Although Tim won this race, he said the starting line was just packed with so many runners, it made for a crazy environment, especially as Tim and the front-runners started lapping slower runners near the end of the race.

As a junior in track, Tim continued his winning ways and among his notable wins was the Leonard Thompson Mile in record time at the Spartan Invitational meet. But as a senior, he did not repeat. Tim ran a lot of the relay races including the two mile relay and the Medley Relay where they placed second in the State meet. He also won the State indoor 1000 yard run.

Certainly Tim had a very successful track career in high school, but it was at Luther College where he really made his mark earning letters all four years in both track and cross country. His accomplishments were so outstanding at Luther, they elected him to their Sports Hall of Fame in 1998.

One of the records for his relay teams was still standing after more than 30 years and many others were among their Top Ten times. Williamson was also captain of both squads for several years. One of the things Tim is most proud of was being voted the Most Inspirational Athlete for track and cross country. His best mile time in college was 4:10, which may be the fastest mile time recorded by a Grundy Center runner.

Some of his accomplishments running for the Norsemen include: • All Conference all four years • Conference Mile Champion three years • Conference 3 Mile Champion two years • First place Conference Cross Country Meet 1972 and 1973; tied for first place 1974 • Conference Most Valuable Player for cross country in 1973 with a five mile time of 25.06 • Captain of NCAA Division III fourth place team 1972 • He also set four records at various conference cross country courses.

Tim’s biggest regret is missing All-American status. As a sophomore he just missed the cut-off in cross country and as a junior, he had a complete and total crash just yards from the finish line. Then, as a senior, he ran hurt following a sprained ankle injury that happened while merely walking around the Decorah campus.

Despite this disappointment, Tim completed a stellar track and cross country career at Luther College and then went on to University of Iowa where he became a certified physical therapist.

Primoparenting Social skills in young children

By Maggie Osborne Every parent wants their child to have friends and be accepted by their peers. In order to do this a child must have good social skills. When your child enters school, they will enter a world with children of various backgrounds and abilities. It is important that children are able to navigate this word successfully. Good social skills include confidence, independence, motivation, curiosity, persistence, cooperation, self-control and empathy.

These skills help children overcome many hurdles when making friends, relating to others and feeling good about themselves.

Parents are a child’s first model.

Many children learn social skills by observing how others in their environment handle social situations. Parents provide a plethora of experiences for the child as they move through a normal day. By imitating observed behaviors the child is trying to be social.

Children need to feel secure in knowing that someone is always looking out for them. It is important to provide attention, encouragement, hugs and plenty of lap time. Children that feel loved are more likely to be confident.

It is also important for children to have a positive attitude toward learning and towards school. Children are

naturally curious and love to explore and discover new things. Parents need to encourage these traits so that they will endure over time. Show enthusiasm for what your child does! (Example: “The picture you drew is a great picture! I love the colors!”) Children will become excited about the activities that parents are excited about.

Opportunities for repetition can also provide and promote positive social and emotional skills and habits.

It takes lots of practice for a child to be successful at an activity and even more practice for them to become comfortable with the task. The more successes they experience the more confident they become. (Example: To learn sight words a child needs to practice reading the same words over and over until they can say them without hesitation.)

Be sure that you use appropriate discipline. All children need limits set for them. Children whose parents are firm, but provide loving discipline are generally more skilled socially and do better in school. Children that are not comfortable with firm and loving discipline and live in an environment where there are not appropriate limits, do not do as well in school.

Here are some basic tips to help develop appropriate discipline.

• Children need direction, but don’t

make unnecessary restrictions or try to dominate.

• Offer a reason that your child needs to do something. (Example: “Please move the blocks off the stairs so no one trips over them.”)(It is not helpful to say, “Do it because I said so!”)

• Listen to your children to understand how they feel and if they need any special support.

• Show love and respect when you are angry. It is important to always be critical of the behavior and NOT the child. (Example: I love you, but it is not ok for you to draw on the furniture. It makes me angry when you do that.”)

• Help your child make good choices and work out their problems. (Example: What can you do to keep Scott from knocking your blocks over?”)

• Be positive and encouraging.

Praise for a job well done is important.

Smiles and encouragement go further to shape good behavior than harsh punishment.

As your child grows and matures it is important to allow them to be independent. Some good independent actives include doing such things as dressing themselves and putting their toys away. These activities also help to build confidence. Allowing a child to make choices is also important. Be

Day full of agriculture planned for Grundy County Fair sure to give them a choice only when there truly is one. If more than one choice is provided, be sure that whatever the child chooses is ok.

Encouraging your child to play with children outside of the family gives them practice in developing social and emotional skills. They are also able to see other points of view and see how children with more social experiences get along with teachers and classmates.

Other social and emotional qualities that are important include cooperation and self-control. Children must be able to get along with others and take turns. It is easier for the child if they are able to understand the behavior of others and know that hitting and biting are not appropriate behaviors.

Children that have an interest in others can more easily empathize with their peers. As children develop empathy, they will be more willing to share and take others feelings into consideration.

Successful parenting is one of the most difficult jobs. Developing positive social and emotional skills allows a child to be happy and confident.

Mastery and use of these skills can help to reduce the number of stressful situations for both parents and children.

hether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a competitive sprinter chasing a new record or an everyday gym hound looking to get the most from your workout, seafood is among the best foods to support an athletic lifestyle.

It not only delivers great-tasting nutrition, but also provides one-of-a-kind health benefits.

The combination of lean protein, anti-inflammatory omega-3s and muscle-building nutrients found in Alaska seafood are why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a staple for athletes like Ryan and Sara Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to incorporate Alaska seafood in our daily diet because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really high-quality protein that helps to repair our muscles on a daily basis,â&#x20AC;? said Ryan Hall, a two-time Olympian and holder of the U.S. half-marathon record.

After a run, Sara Hall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 3,000-meter steeplechase and marathon runner, U.S. national champion and World Team member â&#x20AC;&#x201C; relies on seafood as a goto for low-fat meals with protein and simple-to-digest carbs.

Comets defeat Wolverines, wrap up conference title

By SCOTT BIERLE AND ROB MAHARRY Mid-America Publishing CONRAD- The BCLUW softball team started the season as a conference contender and ended the North Iowa Cedar League West champion here Thursday, capping off a perfect week with an easy win over South Hardin in Conrad.

BCLUW 12, Dike-New Hartford 0 It only took the Comets three innings to amass a 12-run lead and pull away from Dike-New Hartford in a non-conference matchup on Wednesday night in Dike.

BCLUW scored nine runs in the third inning en route to the win, as senior Olivia Callaway drove in a team-high three runs, batting 1-for3 with a double. Freshman Easton Swanson hit 2-for-3 with two RBIs, and Kate Goecke drove in two runs with a double. Jordyn Beeghly also finished 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs for the Comets, who notched 12 hits including four doubles as a team.

Samantha Ubben got the win on the mound, tossing three innings and allowing no runs on no hits, one walk and four strikeouts. All but one of BCLUW’s starters recorded at least one hit.

R H E BCLUW 1 2 9 0 2 3 1 12 12 0 D-NH 0000000 0 0 0 W- Ubben L- Schacterle

The Comets captured the crown with a convincing 12-2 victory over South Hardin in the league finale.

BCLUW finished the NICL West campaign with nine consecutive wins to go 11-1 and better runner-up AGWSR by one game at 10-2.

“This was the goal of these kids, to win the conference title,” stated BCLUW coach David Lee. “It is a great accomplishment be-

cause I feel this conference has some pretty good teams and was a good race,” he added.

The Comets last shared the NICL West title with East Marshall in 2012 and before that were the conference champions from 2007 through 2010.

The first inning provided a turning point as the visiting Tigers loaded the bases and failed to score, while the Comets then plated five runs all with two outs.

“That first inning changed the atmosphere of the game,” noted Lee. “They came aggressive at the plate and they hit the ball hard. We got out of the inning and then had some big plays ourselves.”

After a pair of ground-outs, Samantha Ubben drew a walk and Jordyn Beeghly slapped the first of her three singles. Leah Yantis’ single to right scored Ubben and Easton Swanson’s base hit plated pinch-running Parker Scurr. Jorie Oaks then walked and both scored when Kate Goecke singled and was caught in a pickle between first and second.

“I thought we played well,” South Hardin coach Ben Nelson stated.

“We are a better team than the first time we played them (BCLUW).

You just can’t make mistakes against good teams, because good teams like this team will make you pay.”

The Tigers lost the two team’s first meeting 13-1 in Eldora.

The Comets piled on another five-runs in the third, combining three base hits with three Tiger errors. Beeghly and Yantis opened the at bat with singles and eventually both scored on wild pitches. With two outs, Goecke singled, Kaylee Goecke walked, Olivia Callaway reached base on an error to score courtesy runner Bailey Ashton and (Kaylee) Goecke, and courtesy runner Jenna Willett hustled home when Nicole Lutes reached base on an er-

ror.

The contest ended by the 10-run ruling in five as Oaks singled and scored on a ground-out, and then Callaway doubled and hit home on Lutes’ base knock.

Callaway worked the first four innings and gained the pitching win as she struck out seven, hit two and walked one. In relief, Ubben fanned two in the fifth. The pair combined to strikeout five-in-a-row from the third out of the third to the first out of the fifth.

“This is an awesome feeling,” said Callaway. “This was our season’s first goal to win conference. It shows hard work pays off.”

The loss continued South Hardin’s trying summer. The Tigers finished in the basement of the NICL West at 1-11 and fell to 4-23 overall.

Sarah Brown bounced a double off the rightfield fence to highlight the Tigers’ attack while Miquela Teske, Hannah Tripp, Jenny Allen and Kiera Anderson had singles.

Tiger tallies come in the second when Laura Campbell walked, sprinted to third on Browns’ two-bagger and scored on Teske’s ground-out, and in the fifth, as Cora Spainhower touch home when Anderson’s had a soft single to leftfield.

Teske struck out one, walked five and hit one for the pitching loss.

Postseason play is next: BCLUW has a home game in Conrad with Grundy Center Wednesday, and that winner advances to the semi-final contest back in Conrad Friday. The Comets finished the regular season 26-8 and are currently ranked 12th in Class 2A. Scoring by Innings: South Hardin 010 01 - 2 5 4 BCLUW 505 02 -12 12 1 Miquela Teske (L) and Jenny Allen; Olivia Callaway (W), Samantha Ubben (5) and Kate Goecke.

Rebels split with Grundy Center REINBECK – Gladbrook-Reinbeck scored a pair of insurance runs in the seventh inning to secure a 5-2 victory over Grundy Center Monday and clinch a doubleheader split.

The Rebels had lost the opener 4-3.

G-R (15-6 overall, 7-6 NICL West) also topped GMG and Belle Plaine last week. Its scheduled doubleheader against West Marshall Thursday was rained out. The Rebels host their final home games of the season Tuesday with a doubleheader against AGWSR before wrapping up the regular season at Belmond-Klemme Wednesday and at East Marshall Thursday.

cap. Grundy Center came back with two in the sixth before G-R scored its key insurance runs.

Hits were again hard to come by for the Rebels, as they managed just four in the game and six in the doubleheader. Matt Roeding had the key hit, a two-run double. Cameron Murphy struck out seven and allowed just two hits on the mound to pick up the win.

Gladbrook-Reinbeck 3-5, Grundy Center 4-2 The Rebels scored single runs in the first three innings to jump ahead only to see Grundy Center rally, taking the lead with a three-run sixth.

G-R could manage just two hits in the game, both singles. Junior Joe Smoldt took the loss, scattering five hits and five walks while striking out three.

The Rebels grabbed a lead they would not relinquish with a threerun rally in game two of the night-

Gladbrook-Reinbeck 16, Belle Plaine 1 The Rebels scored early and often on their way to a four-inning victory over Belle Plaine. G-R plated four in the first, three in the second and one in the third before putting the game out of its misery with an eight-run fourth inning.

Mason Skovgard picked up the win on the mound, striking out six while allowing just two hits. He also led the offense with two hits and two

The Rebels had seven hits from seven different players in the game, including a Joe Smoldt double.

Wolverine softball wins on senior night DIKE - The Dike-New Hartford softball team sent its seniors out in style last Wednesday night with a 4-2 victory over Grundy Center on Senior Night.

The Wolverines (12-15 overall, 6-7 NICL East) also dropped games to Columbus Catholic, BCLUW and a pair to Sumner-Fredericksburg last week. Individual highlights were not available for the Wolverines.

The Wolverines opened regional play Tuesday at home against Hudson. A win would pair them against West Marshall Wednesday in State Center.

Dike-New Hartford scored a run in the third and another in the sixth to take a 2-0 lead of the first game.

Wolverines rally past No. 2 ranked Don Bosco DIKE – Perhaps now the DikeNew Hartford baseball team will get some respect.

Friday the Wolverines, unranked despite sporting the state’s best overall record, scored three runs in the seventh inning to stun Class 1A No. 2 Don Bosco 3-2.

D-NH (26-2 overall, 20-1 NICL East) also clinched at least a tie for the conference title last week with conference victories over Columbus Catholic (twice) and Sumner-Fredericksburg.

Trent Johnson led D-NH’s six-hit offensive attack with a single and a double while Ty Sohn also had a double. Clayton Mapel was the winning pitcher in relief of starter Collin Vanderlind.

Mapel picked up his second pitching win of the night in game two of the doubleheader, throwing a complete-game two-hitter as the Wolverines prevailed 3-2.

D-NH scored two in the second and one in the third to take the lead before Columbus rallied with a pair

in the fifth. The Wolverines had just four hits in the game including a Rhett Ehmen double.

Sharp got the win on the mound, tossing a complete game three hitter.

He allowed one unearned run and no walks while striking out two Cougar batters. All three runs in the contest were scored in the second inning.

In the second game, the Comets fell behind 3-0 before tying up the score in the bottom of the fifth, but AGWSR pulled away with a threerun sixth inning to put the game out of reach. BCLUW managed just four hits in the game, and sophomore Brad Barkema had the lone RBI. Blake Mann took the loss on the mound, allowing 11 hits, two walks and five runs over six innings of work. He struck out three Cougar batters.

The Cougars outhit the hosts, 7-2 as Abbie Young had two singles with one each for Alana Groninga, Taryan Barrick, Anna Jaspers, Addi Johnson and Mariah Jimmerson.

Along with Oaks’ single in the sixth, Swanson had a single in the second.

on a play,” said Lee. Comet senior Olivia Callaway struck out five, walked two and hit one for the pitching win, while counterpart Barrick, a freshman, struck out six, walked four and hit one in the loss.

The shutout was the 12th time by BCLUW pitching this season and was the first time AGWSR has been blanked.

By Scott Bierle Mid-America Publishing CONRAD- A share of the North Iowa Cedar League West Conference crown was captured by the BCLUW softball team here Monday.

The Comets manufactured two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and scored a hard-fought 2-0 victory over AGWSR. After several missed scoring opportunities by both teams, BCLUW finally found home plate in the sixth. Pinch-runner Parker Scurr scored the game winner followed by another pinch runner Jenna Willett with an insurance tally.

Leah Yantis opened the Comets’ sixth with a walk and gave way to Scurr. Scurr took second on Easton Swanson’s sacrifice bunt and raced home on Jorie Oaks’ sharp single to rightfield. Willett took over for Oaks and dodged a tag in the baseline while on her way to second on Kate Goecke’s ground-out. Willett then stole third and when the softball bounced away on the pick-off throw, Willett sprinted home.

“I’m so proud of the kids,” said BCLUW coach David Lee. “We came focused in tonight. They are believing and trusting in what we are doing here which is to live on the edge. We are doing a good job of pushing things to the edge.”

The victory improved the 12th-ranked in Class 2A Comets to 10-1 in the conference while slipping the Cougars, No. 12 in 1A, to 9-2 with one game left for both. AGWSR won the two team’s first meeting 4-3 in a marathon 10 innings.

“It was the little things that lost the game tonight. We just were not sharp, and they got us in the end,” AGWSR co-head coach Scott O’Brien said.

AGWSR stranded nine baserunners, including the bases loaded twice in the second and fifth innings. BCLUW also left the paths packed in the second along with teammates at second in the first and third, and at third in the fifth.
