Sigourney News-Review

By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER – During the meeting on Wednesday evening, the Grundy Center school board approved the hiring of a new Secondary Principal, Kristin Sheffield.

Sheffield brings 14 years of experience in the field of education with her to Grundy Center, having worked in the Earlham School District first as a high school English teacher, and then as the Curriculum Director.

She says she never really planned on being a principal, and at the beginning of her career she actually hoped to become a college professor. But several years into her job as Curriculum Director she decided to purse an administration degree.

“About three years ago or so, I got an administration degree,” she said. “I wanted to make sure I was doing my curriculum job purposefully and meaningfully, and that I have a chance to make good changes for students and make things more effective and efficient in order to give students better opportunities. And since then, I thought ‘yeah I would really like to do the principal job.’”

When an opportunity opened up in Grundy Center, she decided to throw her name in the hat.

“I got an email from an old college professor explaining that this position was open, and that it was a bit of a challenge because of timing,” she said. “But I like a good challenge, so we came up to the community and drove around to get a feel.

We decided that it felt like a place that was full of pride and that maybe it would be a good move for us, so I threw my name in the hat and got an interview. During the interview everyone seemed really welcoming; it just seemed like a place that would be a good fit for my family.”

Needless to say, Sheffield got the call back, and will be starting her new position in Grundy Center on August 1. She brings with her a husband, Brian, and their three children.

The transition shouldn’t be too hard, she said, as the two school districts are similarly sized, though the town Grundy Center is slightly larger than Earlham.

Sheffield said that right now, she is most excited for meeting all the students, staff, and everyone in the community, as well as getting to know a new system.

“I’m excited to understand what makes Grundy Center great and learn how we can improve on that,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to it; it’s an exciting new adventure for us.”

Sheffield replaces former Secondary Principal Ann Lebo, who resigned at the end of June after accepting a position as the Executive Director of the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners in Des Moines.

Fourth annual ‘Every Day Tractor Ride’ raises funds for local scholarships

By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register GRUNDY COUNTY – Last Wednesday, over 50 area farmers took on the sweltering heat to participate in the fourth annual Every Day Tractor Ride.

At 9:30 in the morning the riders set out on their 50-mile trek through Grundy and Black Hawk counties, most of them in their oldest tractors without air conditioning.

But as it turns out, a tractor ride was just the thing to beat the heat, according to local farmer and tractor ride organizer Darwin Cannegieter.

“There was a good amount of wind, so the breeze blew right through our hair and no one really got hot,” he said. “We couldn’t have had a better ride.”

This year, the ride took farmers through five different towns. After leaving from Grundy Center, the riders went to Dike for a morning break in the city park before heading to Hudson for lunch and a tour of Hansen's Dairy Farm complete with ice cream. Next was a stop in Voorhees and a quick break in Morrison to visit the museum before heading back to Grundy Center for the fair parade.

By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER- The Grundy County Board of Supervisors received bids and directed the sale of bonds for the new annex building during a special meeting on Monday afternoon, in addition to its regular business conducted in the morning.

Vice President Larry Burger of Speer Financial presented bids for the bonds on Monday, and a total of five were received. UMB Bank of Kansas City submitted the low bid for $1,150,000 in General Obligation Urban Renewal bonds at an interest rate of 1.5368 percent, for a total of $116,427 in true interest.

Over the 10-year payment schedule, the average in property taxes per $100,000 of valuation to be put toward the project is $7.99 per year.

After a brief discussion, a motion to approve the resolution for the sale passed 3-0 (Barb Smith and Chuck Bakker were absent).

Mindy Hamann of the Old 56 Dairy attended the morning meeting to discuss her business, which she is currently attempting to sell, and potential violations of the home industry permit with county zoning administrator Carie Sager. Sager said that because of the events center located on the property and parking issues, Hamann’s business did not meet the criteria for the home permit as it was originally written. Two supervisors then asked if the county could loosen its ordinances to be less restrictive, but Sager countered that she was simply complying with state code.

“I feel like I’ve bent over backwards to keep the parking organized,” Hamann said.

No action was taken on the matter, but Hamann noted that she would like to address any potential issues as soon as possible as there are several wedding receptions planned at the events center.

County Engineer Gary Mauer gave a department update and reported that a bridge project north of Highway 175 and west of Morrison was set to begin soon, as well as pavement marking and

Grundy County extension celebrates 100 years

By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER- During the Grundy County Fair last week, the county’s Iowa State University Extension Office marked its 100-year anniversary. County 4-H and Youth Coordinator Andrea Traeger caught up with The Grundy Register on Tuesday to discuss the history of the extension office, its mission and its future.

Regional Extension Director Bill Arndorfer, who serves Grundy, Butler, spoke during Family Fun night at the fair last Wednesday, briefly described the history of extension offices: President Lincoln first established land See EXTENSION, page 2

EXTENSION, from page 1 grant universities, which provided education in fields such as agriculture and mechanical arts, during the Civil War, and the idea of extensions was first hatched in Iowa in 1903 when farmers in Sioux County worked with ISU to improve the quality of seed corn.

“The goal was to get some resources in the counties to help families that were farming, and it also did a lot with home economy stuff with women for things like baking, canning and other things,” Traeger said.

In 1912, counties began to establish their own individual extension offices, and today, all 99 Iowa counties have an office of their own.

They focus on continuing education for farmers, 4-H programs for youth and a host of other outdoor and agriculture-related initiatives.

The extension office and the 4-H program play a crucial role in making the Grundy County Fair happen each year, and it offers them an opportunity to showcase the activities and hard work that they do throughout the year. But if you think that it’s strictly ag-based, you’d be mistaken.

“The focus on agriculture is not the heavy piece. It’s a focus on lots of different project areas like arts, photography, food nutrition, animals. It’s all there, and kids can learn about pretty much anything they want to,” Traeger said. “It’s

unlimited. We’re ready to look at some fresh new ideas.”

As times change and the agriculture industry evolves more and more with features like GPS positioning and cover crops, Traeger hopes that extension offices can continue to be a valuable resource for farmers in the future.

“There are still young folks who want to get involved in farming or anything in the agriculture industry, and we have the opportunity to help share that with our kids as to what’s out there for them in any of those areas and maybe (help them) look at agriculture in a different way,” she said.

Traeger has worked at the extension for 13 years now, and

extension program director Shari Sell-Bakker, who was in Ames for a meeting on Tuesday morning, has worked in Grundy County since 2012. When she sees youngsters filled with emotion after reaching their goals or winning an award at the county fair, Traeger knows why she chose this line of work in the first place.

“When you get to give that award, and you see those kids tear up because they’re just blown away with being recognized like that, that catches my heart in what I’m doing,” she said. “This is why I’m doing this—to help promote these youth and help them feel better about what they’re doing.”

Commodity Carnival teaches local youth about raising livestock

By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register GRUNDY COUNTY – This year at the Grundy County Fair, local youth lined up for the chance to participate in a fun, interactive game called “Risk Ranch,” which was being offered at the Commodity Carnival booth.

The Commodity Carnival, which is sponsored by CME Group and the National 4-H Council, is aimed at teaching youth the fundamentals of risk management in agriculture.

They do this by way of a fun, interactive game called “Risk Ranch.”

The game teaches youth the components and challenges of livestock production all the way from wean to market. It consists of three activities that guide participants through

the process of producing and selling livestock: growing your livestock, selling your livestock and winning a ribbon.

Along the way, participants will deal with real life setbacks, such as raising gas prices, sick hogs, broken fences and drought. The goal is beat these setbacks, take your hog to market, and sell it for a profit.

"The Commodity Carnival and Risk Ranch are invaluable tools for teaching youth everywhere key lessons on agriculture, business and the economy in an approachable and engaging fashion," said National 4-H Council's President and CEO Jennifer Sirangelo. "We've heard from volunteers and fairgoers across the country that the Commodity Carnival experience is a highlight. Our

partnership with CME Group allows us the unique opportunity to connect the curiosity of the next generation of farmers with the expertise of industry leaders, to the great benefit of both."

The Commodity Carnival is being offered to a growing number of fairs this year, and is scheduled to visit 150 state and county fairs across nine states this summer to teach fair-going families the fundamentals of risk management in agriculture, by way of bringing a hog to market. The game will also continue to be accessible beyond the fairgrounds by way of the mobile app, Risk Ranch, which can be downloaded on most mobile devices.

School secures funding for gym project

By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER – The gym addition project at the middle school-high school gained a boost last week, as the school secured near-record low interest rates on the revenue bond that will be used to fund the project.

The schools received two formal bids, which is pretty typical, according to Matt Gillaspie of Piper Jaffray, who has been working with the school on the financial aspects of the gym addition.

The lowest bid, and the one that the school decided to accept, came from BB&T Governmental Finance at a rate of 2.07 percent. The school

also received a bid from Capital One Public Funding for 2.42 percent. No bids were received from local institutions, which Gillaspie said was common for a transaction of this scale.

Gillaspie noted that the bid from BB&T offers near-record low interest rates, and that if the school had issued the bond two to three years ago when the gym addition was first discussed, they would’ve paid 3 to 3.4 percent instead.

The bond was issued at an amount of $3,235,000, and is set to be repaid through 2029 with principal payments once a year and interest charged semi-annually. The annual payments, Gillaspie said, should be

roughly $285,000 to $290,000 per year.

The bond is dated for delivery on August 18, and will start incurring interest starting then.

The school’s choice to use a revenue bond means that taxes will not be raised.

Superintendent Jerry Schutz said that the project is still on schedule, with bidding set to start in late July to early August before bids are awarded and groundwork begins around mid September and into October. The project timeline estimates that the gym will be finished and equipment will be moved in around mid May of next year.

Hoy takes a trip to “the other Conrad”

By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register CONRAD- For Conrad City Clerk and Administrator Denise Hoy, the community of Conrad, Montana—a small town of about 2,500 residents nestled in the northwest part of the state and located east of Glacier National Park—is quite familiar: in her 20 years on the job, she has received bills, payments and all sorts of mail that were meant for the “other” Conrad. When Hoy and her husband Barry recently took a vacation in Big Sky Country, they stopped in Conrad, visited city hall and finally explored their sister city for the first time.

Conrad, Iowa, and Conrad, Montana, are the only two incorporated “Conrads” in the United States, and since the Hoys have family in Montana, they figured that they might as well explore the community that shares their namesake on the way back from Glacier National Park.

“Once in a while, we’ll get each

other’s mail, and they get ours sometimes too. That’s been going on for quite a while,” Hoy said. “When I was looking at the map, it’s like ‘oh my gosh, Conrad’s not that far from where we’re going to head,’ so we made sure that we made that a stop.”

Denise and Barry made an overnight stop in Conrad and swung by city hall the next day to chat with the finance officer and billing clerk, which got front-page coverage in The Independent-Observer, the weekly newspaper in Pondera County (of which Conrad is the county seat).

They found out that despite being over 1,200 miles apart, the communities actually had a lot in common.

Conrad, Iowa, had celebrated the recent completion of its downtown renovation project, while Conrad, Montana, was finishing up a streetscape that beautified its Main Street area. Agriculture is crucial to both, as well: while Iowa is known for soybean and corn farming, the west-

ern plains on which the other Conrad sits are better suited for wheat production and raising cattle. Although it’s within a few hours of the Rocky Mountains, the Canadian border and the aforementioned national park, Conrad itself is actually quite flat and is considered a farming community.

While Conrad residents here can drive 15 minutes to Marshalltown to get most of their basic necessities, the nearest major city to Conrad, MT, is Great Falls (pop. 59,638), which sits 63 miles away. Both communities have at least one restaurant, medical clinic and a golf course and operate under a mayor-council form of government. Hoy also noted that Agnes Fowler, the finance officer in Conrad, is also a member of the International Institute of Municipal Clerks.

“We kind of laughed and said that maybe before we retire, we’ll hook up again at a conference someday,” Hoy said.

By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register CONRAD- One of the most popular Mexican restaurants in Marshalltown is expanding into Conrad, as Maria’s Tacos began selling its signature fare from a food truck here on Tuesday with plans to eventually move into one half of the former Carol’s building on Main Street.

The story of Maria’s, which serves authentic Mexican cuisine in a fast-food setting, dates back to 2010, when founder and owner Maria Gomez first started operating a food truck in Marshalltown before eventually renovating an old house on State Street and turning it into a counter-top restaurant with outdoor seating.

Later, they ran the food truck on an alternating schedule between State Center and Albion, and after receiving and accepting an invitation to be a food vendor at Conrad’s annual Black Dirt Days celebration earlier this summer, Gomez and her granddaughter Brenda, who will manage the new location, warmed up to the idea of Conrad as a place to expand the business. Meetings with Conrad City Clerk and Administrator Denise Hoy and Chamber/Main Street Director Darla Ubben were extremely productive.

“We talked to Denise and Darla and gave them a rundown of our ideas. Then they gave us a rundown of their ideas,” Brenda said. “Their

whole vibe and how much they want to put back into Conrad to make the community look nice, I was really down for it.”

Moving a new restaurant or restaurants into the building, which is now owned by Dan Shine, has been a top priority for city officials and community members since Carol’s closed its doors at the end of 2014. Though the initial plan was just to open a food truck and see how it went, Ubben pushed the idea of opening a brick-and-mortar location, and it resonated with the younger Gomez.

“It’s about giving back to the same community that is giving to you. When they first said restaurant, I was like, ‘oh my gosh, that’s a big move,” she said. “But it’s a good space, and the price was really good.”

Hoy said that while she wouldn’t have denied the Gomez’s a permit to run a long-term food truck, she and Ubben pitched the benefits of operating out of a permanent physical location for both Maria’s and the city of Conrad, a Main Street Iowa community.

“They were intrigued, and we talked and talked. Finally, they agreed to go over and look at a building with Darla,” Hoy said. “Maria said, ‘You’ve convinced me, you’ve convinced me,’ and they’re really excited.”

At just 23 years old, Brenda is al-

ready honing her chops in the family business, and she will be learning the ropes for a few months with her grandmother at the new restaurant before eventually taking over operations. Maria’s ran a truck at the Grundy County fair last week, and Gomez commented that fairgoers were abuzz about the future Conrad location.

“We’ve been getting a million questions,” she said.

Residents of Conrad have also reacted with excitement to the news, as the community will now likely add two new restaurants that will split the old building—Maria’s and Blaine’s on Main, an American casual restaurant operated by Conrad native and BCLUW graduate Blaine Fisher. Hoy added that the opportunity to add an eatery that is local, unique and already established is a perfect fit for Conrad. “(Maria’s) offers cuisine that we don’t have. It’s not a direct competitor with any other (restaurant) because it’s just something different,” she said.

So far, a definitive date for the opening of the restaurant has not yet been established, but Gomez is anxious to get her feet wet.

“I’m really excited, but I also feel really nervous because this is my first time getting my foot in the door,” she said. “I’m excited to see what the future has in store for Maria’s Tacos and my family.”

Memory Lane

A Look back through The Grundy Register Compiled by Michaela Kendall

10 Years Ago This Week - 2006 Every day is a blessing, according to Betty McDowell who says she’s grateful to be alive. The 73-year-old has overcome colon cancer twice.

And, just last week, she underwent a test at the Grundy County Memorial Hospital that verified she’s still cancer-free. While rural Eldora woman says she’s glad she recovered from surgery to have cancerous’ polyps removed from her colon in 1985, and again in 2004, Betty’s equally happy that new equipment at GCMH makes check-ups much more comfortable. The GCMH has new equipment that represents the latest technology available for conducting colonoscopy and gasoscopy exams. Advances also include features to make the test more comfortable for the patient.

The 130th Grundy County Fair opened Monday, July 17, at the fairgrounds in Grundy Center and closed Saturday after the Figure 8 races. A wide variety of activities offered fun for everyone. There were animal shows, watermelon and sweet corn feeds, working exhibits, bandstand entertainments, presentations and much more. Pictured clockwise from bottom left: Morgan Bakker studies her baby chicken at the Chick Chase; Fair Board President Ron Flater lifts a gunny sack full of sweet corn from the cooker; Stephanie Faust goes fishing at the 4-H Carnival; Blake Kelley make s his catch at the Chicken Chase; and Fair Board Secretary Jan Greany helps serve sweet corn to fairgoers.

Dust off your smiles and laughter in anticipation of Grundy Center’s eighth season of bringing you a Prairie Fire Children’s Theatre show! This year’s offering is The Wizard of Oz, written and presented as you have never seen this classic performed before, in typical PFCT zany style. This time, the scene is set in contemporary America and it is from there that the tornado takes Dorothy to Oz. - All the favorite characters will be there including ‘the Flying Monkeys and Winkies.

The Yellow Brick Road will be enacted by local performers!

At the Center Theatre … “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” and “Superman Returns.”

Our Family Cereal: Frosted Wheat Puffs, Toasted Oats, Honey Graham or Cinni-Minni … 99 cents per box.

Our Family brown sugar or powdered sugar … 10 for $10.

25 Years Ago This Week - 1991 Grundy Center is well on its way to setting a new record low amount of rainfall for the month of July at the rate it’s going. To date, the National Weather Service in Grundy Center has recorded a total of .24”, with eight days left in the month.

High temperatures and low rainfall have already produced a strained effect on crops and livestock. Curling and firing of leaves is occurring in many cornfields in this area, with the days numbered for future hay cuttings due to the dry weather. Soil moisture reserves remain a serious concern as the corn crop enters the critical pollination period.

A 16-year-old Marshalltown girl was hospitalized after a one vehicle accident southwest of Grundy Center Tuesday morning. Malinda Colwill was northbound on County Road T-37 when she lost control of her 1981 Chevy Citation on the gravel. The vehicle rolled, and Colwill was thrown from the car.

She was treated at the scene by B-CERTS, and was transported to Marshalltown Hospital. The Grundy County Sheriffs Dept. and the Iowa State Patrol are investigating the accident.

At the Center Theatre … “Robin Hood.”

Homestead Turkeys, 10-16 lbs. … 59 cents per lb.

Farmstead bacon … $1.49 per lb.

50 Years Ago This Week - 1966 The curtain will go up on the 90th anniversary edition of the Grundy County Fair on Monday, August 8, for a four day run featuring a beef barbecue, a two-performance rodeo, a midway with 30 rides and concessions, and livestock judging. Monday will be entry day, but there also will be sheep judging at 1 p.m., followed at 3 p.m. with the pony and light horse show. Also on opening day of the fair, Royal United Greater Shows will set up and put into operation 30 rides and concessions on the midway.

Capping the opening day program will be the first performance of the Grundy Center Jaycee Rodeo at 8 p.m. in front of the grandstand, featuring 50 touring professional cowboys competing for a $1,000 purse in five events. Admission at the gate will be $1.75 for adults, and 75 cents for children.

A 70-foot section of newly erected concrete block wall used as a retainer for the new steam line being installed in down town Grundy Center collapsed Tuesday afternoon during a heavy rain. Workmen were busy this Wednesday morning removing the broken wall, block by block, so that it can be re-laid.

Denny Wical narrowly escaped being injured under the wall. He had entered the steam line pit to install supports when a section in front of Manly Drug and Grundy National Bank collapsed.

Juicy red ripe watermelon … 77 cents.

Seedless grapes … 25 cents per lb.

Hawaiian punch … 3 cans for $1.

75 Years Ago This Week - 1941 Aluminum collections are to be made all over the country during the last week in July. The entire country has been organized to make the collection. The aluminum is needed for national defense. All families in the county are urged to check over their household and farming equipment to see whether or not they do not have some article made largely of aluminum that is quite well worn and that they could spare. If they have such a piece, they should have them ready to give to those who will collect them during the last week in this month.

There will be no increase in Grundy county taxes for the coming year according to the budget estimate for the next year adopted by the county board of supervisors Monday. Total property taxes in Grundy county paid last year were $554,016. $238,898 of this amount was levied and expended through the authority of the board of supervisors. That is only about 40 percent of the total property taxes collected in the county. The county’s portion of the tax for next year under the Jurisdiction of the board of supervisors is fixed in the budget at $238,800. That is $98 lower than last year’s budget.

The old Grundy County National Bank is ready to close up business and to pay its last dividend. The few remaining assets are being offered for sale and the final dividend payment will be made on August 9th.

The last dividend is expected to be 5 percent. With the final payment, the depositors of the old bank will have received 93 percent of their money back. That is by far the best payout of any of the closed banks in this locality.

“The Saint in Palm Springs” starts its engagement on Friday for two days at the Center Theatre.

Texas watermelons … 2 cents per lb. Mason Jars … 61 cents per dozen.

Caps are 19 cents per dozen, and jar rings are 10 cents per three dozen..

Brass washboards … 39 cents each.

Braunschweiger … 19 cents per lb.

Grassley Q & A: Protecting Innovation and Trade Secrets Lesser evils, conventions, etc.

Question: What are trade secrets?

Over my last few months of wandering through baseball games, bars, local government meetings and various places where I’m forced to encounter other people, I’ve heard it repeatedly.

“If you don’t vote for (Trump/Hillary), it’s just a vote for (whichever of the two the person lecturing me doesn’t support).”

You’ve probably gotten the same spiel from your angry Trump supporting uncle or your condescending grandmother who can’t believe you voted for that dirty old hippie who looks like Mr. Burns from “The Simpsons” and won’t abandon all of your ideals to support the first female president.

It’s time to trade in the VW Van and the Grateful Dead records and accept the reality that the leaders of both parties get their money from Wall Street, vote for wars that have nothing to do with national security and can’t really

By Rob Maharry do anything to stop jobs from being shipped to countries where workers will do the same thing for less money. It’s called becoming an adult, son. Get with the times.

For all of the hype surrounding it, the RNC was a relatively boring affair: the speeches ranged from forgettable (almost all of them) to probably plagiarized (Melania Trump; but once again, almost every political speech is just a rip-off of another one) to sacrilegious (Ted Cruz) to apocalyptic (Trump’s acceptance speech).

The party that doesn’t control the White House always paints the country in dire terms at its convention: the Democrats did it in 2008 on the heels of the Bush era, and everyone expected the GOP to do it in 2016. But even by those standards, the America the Donald presented last Thursday sounded like something right out of the pages of “A Clockwork Orange” or Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road”: a dystopian hellscape on the verge of collapse, with crime and evil lurking around every corner. Trump, of course, is the only one who can fix it. How, we’ll never know, but the orange sorbet tinted white knight from Gotham will save the day, because that’s all he knows how to do.

Surprisingly, the DNC may turn out to be even more of a mess. The (possibly) Russian backed e-mail leak has revealed that pretty much everything Sanders supporters claimed about the national committee conspiring against the Senator’s presidential campaign was completely true and that money was being funneled into Clinton’s campaign coffers in, ahem, questionable ways. And despite her pyrrhic victory on her own e-mail scandal, the perception that HRC was careless at best and criminally negligent at worst won’t be going away anytime soon.

During a cycle in which voters have expressed more frustration than ever with “Washington elites,” “political correctness” and “typical politicians,” the Democrats have managed to nominate someone who embodies all of these characteristics perhaps more than any other politician in the last 50 years. Most of Hillary’s supporters can’t really tell you why they’re voting for her other than “she’s not Trump,” and vice versa. Ironically enough, the two candidates are closer together on a majority of the primary policy issues—trade, foreign policy, social issues, to name a few—than most people acknowledge, but the visceral hatred of the two is based more on personality and mythology than anything concrete. Is this really the best we can do?

It’s easy to understand why people go into national politics: it’s a heck of a lot more glamorous than earning a living in construction, teaching, the medical field, the military, science, plumbing, farming or a host of other professions that actually require physical and mental labor rather than making promises to fix people’s lives that you’ll probably never be able to fulfill. National conventions are just a onestop shop for these sorts of solutions: it’s easier to trust a nice looking person on TV to alleviate our problems than to deal with them ourselves.

America will survive the next four or eight years, regardless of what the doomsday prognosticators say: we made it through a Civil War, after all. But if there’s anything we can take away from this whole ordeal, if that’s what we can call it, it’s that when you put up the two most negatively viewed candidates in American history in an election such as this one, is it really so radical to think that the two party system might be obsolete as an idea?

We’ve all heard the lesser of two evils parable, and it’s become synonymous with presidential elections in recent cycles, especially this one. Part of being an American, however, is the right to vote for third, fourth and fifth parties, or to not vote at all. He may have gotten booed off stage for saying it, but Cruz was right about one thing: vote your conscience. We’ve still got three more months of this to endure—let’s pray that our collective national sanity can make it through another election cycle, if there’s any left to salvage.

Answer: Like a patent or trademark, trade secrets are a valuable form of intellectual property that allow innovators and businesses to legally protect their discoveries and other proprietary information. Some of the most “famous” trade secrets today include Coca-Cola’s formula, the recipe for Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Google’s algorithm. To maintain legal protection for trade secrets, trade secret owners must employ reasonable measures to maintain their secrecy.

Question: How are trade secrets under attack?

Answer: Trade secret thieves – ranging from corporate competitors, to transnational criminal organizations, to foreign intelligence services – have recognized the value of trade secrets and are increasingly seeking to steal them rather than making the effort to engineer solutions on their own. Today, protecting trade secrets has become an increasingly difficult undertaking as thieves are utilizing new technological measures to aid their crimes. Consequently, it’s now estimated that the American economy loses over $300 billion and 2.1 million jobs every year because of trade secret theft.

Even Iowa companies aren’t exempt from these attacks from trade secret thieves.

DuPont-Pioneer was the victim in a high profile 2013 trade secrets case in which six foreign nationals conspired to steal engineered corn seeds in order to benefit a foreign company.

Question: How does the Defend Trade Secrets Act help solve this problem?

Answer: Unfortunately, as the pace of economic espionage and trade secret theft against American companies mounts, federal law enforcement authorities don’t have the resources or the bandwidth to prosecute more than a fraction of these crimes.

This means that victims of trade secret theft cannot rely on criminal enforcement, making a civil cause of action an effective way to go after perpetrators.

Traditionally, trade secrets have been protected under state laws. However, the existing framework for trade secret protection creates an uneven patchwork of laws and difficult procedural hurdles in the many cases where a thief takes a stolen trade secret across state lines. This is especially true when it comes to the procedural challenges of seeking fast and effective relief in the critical window after a theft occurs, since obtaining necessary service of process and rapid injunctive relief can prove difficult under the current system.

The Defend Trade Secrets Act amends the Economic Espionage Act of 1996 to create a federal civil remedy for trade secret misappropriation, allowing for a uniform national standard without preempting state law.

As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I shepherded this legislation through the committee process. In April, the Defend Trade Secrets Act passed by a bipartisan vote of 87-0 and was signed into law by the President this spring.

The law provides clear rules and predictability for trade secret cases. Victims are now able to move quickly to federal court, with certainty of the rules, standards, and practices to stop trade secrets from being disseminated and losing their value. By improving trade secret protection, this law also helps to incentivize future innovation.

A few years later, Gilbert lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia University, but her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia. Gilbert reunites with Bergman and others when ghost sightings are reported in Manhattan. A spectacular funny-person cast completes this hilarious reboot of the wildly popular 1980’s hit – be sure to catch Ghostbusters 2D this week at your hometown Center Theatre!

The great heat wave of 1936

By Kevin Willians Grundy County Conservation Director As we began to experience and hopefully prepare for last week’s blast of high temperatures, it got me thinking about my grandfather, Roy Warrick.

I called him Pappy. He was probably the most resourceful man I will ever be blessed to know. I don’t think that there was anything that he couldn’t figure out how to accomplish when faced with a challenge on the farm. And he demonstrated that resourcefulness to me on many occasions as I had opportunities to work alongside him. When faced with a challenge, I pride myself in the thought that there is a little bit of that man and his resourceful nature in me.

I start out saying this because there were many times that as we worked, he would tell me stories of his past. I know that I am not alone in feeling remorse that in my youth I did not pay closer attention to the details. And I find now that my brother and I can remember the same story differently years later. I wish each of those stories could (would) have been written down.

Which finally gets me to the topic of the week. The hot weather. Pappy experienced the Great Heat Wave of 1936.

And most of what I heard of that year is lost save for bits and pieces. People in that time period not only experienced that horrific summer but a decade of drought and heat (and extreme record cold winters to boot). It was the Dust Bowl era.

In 1936, Pappy was 22 years old and had welcomed his first child into the home the previous year. His dream of pursuing veterinary medicine after graduation in 1932 had been dashed as he watched his father lose the farm during the Great Depression. All I can think is that young people of that day had to have an incredible amount of resourcefulness and faith starting out life and families then.

So, I went about searching for some information on that summer of 1936.

And I found that seventeen states broke or equaled their all-time record absolute maximum temperatures during the summer of 1936 (still standing records).

Things began in late June. July 1936 in particular was pure misery. It was the hottest month in Iowa history. In Des Moines, 13 daily records for high temperatures in July were set in 1936. The capital endured a stretch of 15 days in a row of temperatures 100 degrees or greater. The summer of 1936 was the hottest on record in Iowa. It was also the second-driest. The 1936 heat wave devastated not only Iowa but the nation.

As many as 5,000 people died because of the heat.

Around July 8-10 the heat wave saw virtually every absolute maximum temperature record broken for most sites in the Ohio Valley, Upper Midwest, and Great Plains, as well all the way to the East coast. During that time, Atlantic and Logan, Iowa tied with 117 degrees for their all-time highs. Des Moines was just a balmy 110 degrees. On July 15th the average high temperature for all 113 weather stations in Iowa measured 108.7 degrees.

And to add to the misery, the nighttime low temperatures were also remarkably warm. In Lincoln, Nebraska, the temperature on July 25 never fell below 91 degrees.

The only saving grace was that humidities were low as a result of the ongoing and prolonged drought which had been affecting almost all of the central part of the country for several years come the summer of 1936.

Then, after a very short reprieve, Iowa and Missouri saw high temperatures back to 100 degrees on Aug. 9. On 15 of the next 18 days, the high would be at least 100. It was 103 or hotter 11 times! On Aug. 18, it was 106. And rainfall through July and August that year - 1.5 inches.

In a 1979 interview, Rose Stoops of Grinnell recalled having some of her hens walk from the house to the (water) pump and die on the way. Sadly, I cannot go back and fill in the forgotten parts of Pappy’s stories of that Great Heat Wave of 1936. But I have a greater appreciation of it and him.

City of Reinbeck looking for local artist to create downtown mural

By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register REINBECK – The city of Reinbeck is currently accepting proposals from artists interested in creating a public mural in the city’s Main Street Pocket Park.

The mural project is intended to honor the city’s past and to add a unique aesthetic addition to the downtown area that can be appreciated by both visitors and citizens alike.

In order to honor Reinbeck’s past, the city has collected several old photographs of the Main Street and other historic structures in town that they would like the artist to incorporate into the mural.

These photos can be found on the city of Reinbeck’s website.

Artists can paint the mural on the wall, which measures 12 feet high by 48 feet long, or they can painted on panels and installed onto the wall, but the panels must be made to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.

Proposals are open to all mural artists or team of collaborative

artists, over the age of 18 years old, and within 100 miles of Reinbeck. The artist must have some background in painting large area paintings.

The city has set the following criteria for evaluation: the mural must maintain the look of the selected; the artist must provide examples of previous work that demonstrates excellence and accuracy; the artwork and materials must be high quality, durable and able to withstand harsh outdoor conditions for at least five years; the submitted budget is competitive, reasonable, and fair to both parties.

The City of Reinbeck will cover artist fees, material costs and other costs involved in the installment of this mural. The artist will receive payment for materials and other costs as needed. Artist fees will be paid upon completion and inspection of the final work.

In order to submit a proposal, artists should do the following: submit an artist resume that includes: your contact information,

an artist statement, five images of your previous mural work and lists of festivals and galleries you have been in (if applicable), a sample of the mural, a mural concept outline (your approach to the mural, how you will meet the design requirements and what materials you will use to paint and install); and overall cost of the project including materials, time, etc.

The submission deadline is July 29, 2016, and artist selection will be August 1, 2016 with the chosen artist being notified on August 2, 2016. The mural completion date is September 16, 2016, and by submitting a proposal, the artist agrees to create and finish the final mural on or before that date.

Applicants can email their application to: Cityasst@reinbeck. net or submit it to: City of Reinbeck, 414 Main Street, Reinbeck, IA 50669.

The Reinbeck City Council and a private business owner will review artist proposals and make recommendations if needed.

NEWS The Alternative....

Legalized theft

The prosperity of everyone in a culture is dependent on their ability to keep what they earn. Every drop that they can't keep, reduces incentive to excel in some way; and that is more destructive to the common good than anything else.

During the farm crisis of the eighties I had an acquaintance whose business failed because of the sour economy.

(The primary reason for that farm crisis was our boycott of trade with the Soviets. The Soviet Union meddled in the affairs of Afghanistan, so the United States blocked farmers from selling to their Soviet customers to punish them for, ironically, doing the same thing our government continues to do today. Their socialist system couldn't support such excess. There are lessons here that are relevant to us today.)

My acquaintance easily qualified for bankruptcy “protection,” but he is not a thief so anything he could spare with years of hard work and a frugal lifestyle went toward paying those to which he owed money. I have great admiration for this man for recognizing and acting as if morality was more important than legality.

With this being an election year it becomes increasingly evident that earning has become an anachronism and wealth acquired through legal theft is broadly accepted.

There is a lot of talk about welfare cheats or illegal immigrants getting benefits only citizens are entitled to steal, but the really big lapses in moral behavior get lost in the stack of stuff. I'll cite two examples.

Back to the Volkswagen emissions scandal we go again because I owned four of them back when we drove with the windows down and could fix them ourselves. Within a year of their election each Bush president had their illegal EPA cut nitrogen oxide emissions standards in half. The Bushes are an oil family and good friends with the Saudis. Diesel engines are a third more efficient than gasoline engines but they emit more nitrogen oxides. Today's diesel emissions standards for new cars are 90% lower than the average car on the road, making them nearly impossible to achieve. In other words, the oil industry has legislated $20 billion dollars out of the pockets of consumers and into their own. I ask, who is the villain that affects United States consumers the most? The propaganda demonizing VW is sophisticated and funded with great incentive. The EPA is a tool of theft and should be eliminated.

Another alarmingly accepted legal practice is bankruptcy and the legal structure of corporations shielding decision makers from accountability. Unlike the simplistic views of leftists like Bernie Sanders, I don't blame the corporations for their shenanigans as much as I blame the legal structure that enables them. My old friend was one individual, not an army of executives and lawyers beholden to stockholders. Individuals abide by moral standards while groups dilute or ignore them as the ends justifying the means.

A letter in The Wall Street Journal from a retired pilot, pointed out some facts regarding the bankruptcy of Delta Airlines that should have us rise from our complacent bottoms.

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation is a federal agency that is supposed to furnish (the actual language is vague enough that you need to look it up yourself if interested) a safety net for employees expecting a pension.

Delta pilots will receive 16% of their expected pensions from taxpayers.

Delta will pay nothing.

Since bankruptcy, Delta purchased Northwest Airlines for $2.6 billion, offered Japan Airlines $1 billion in financial aid, updated its fleet of jets, and expanded its employee base. But their retired employees and creditors get stiffed.

All government agencies that either stifle efficiency or reward failure should be eliminated, not reformed; eliminated. If their function was replaced by private insurance paid for by potential beneficiaries in the sectors covered, the costs would be reflected in prices. Competition with no subsidies would produce the best value for consumers. Legal contracts, without the theft of bankruptcy would reduce uncertainty and promote more prudent investment.

Whatever innovation lost by increased accountability (no bankruptcy protection), would be outweighed by more solid financial decisionmaking.

Law that protects individuals from the aggression of others is all that is needed for a civil and prosperous society. Laws that pretend to plan, regulate, or incentivize will always be used by the well-connected to perpetrate the aggression that the law was originally intended to address.

Please comment on this column through a letter to the paper, email at 4selfgovernment@gmail.com, or visit my blog: www.alternativebyfritz.com.

Why did these ladies choose Ellsworth?

Because it felt like home, like “family.” They weren’t ready for a big university right away. So they found success (and lots of new friends) first at Ellsworth!

Former Grundy County Clerk of Court set to retire after 28-year-long career

By Mira Schmitt-Cash Mid-America Publishing Two fixtures of the Butler County Clerk of Court's Office, out of three, plan to retire in the coming weeks.

Though the Iowa Judicial District has announced a moratorium on hiring for fiscal 2017 with "limited exceptions," a judicial specialist position was recently posted.

The last day of Butler County Clerk of Court Debra Bausman will be July 28, 2016. It will be a month after her 28th anniversary of starting in a clerk of court office. These offices, though located in county courthouses, are part of the State of Iowa Judicial Branch.

Bausman started in the Clerk of Court's Office for Grundy County on June 28, 1988, as a deputy clerk.

The five years prior, she had worked at the Grundy County Sheriff's Office as a jailer/dispatcher, which afforded her training on criminal filings. Bausman became the Clerk of Court for Franklin County on March 11, 2005. In July 2012, she began as Clerk of Court in Butler County sharing her time with the clerk's office in Butler County.

Bausman, 62, who hails from Wellsburg, and her husband, Larry, 64, co-owned the NAPA Auto Parts store there. He sold the store Jan. 1, 2015.

"He's retired," Bausman said. She decided to join him.

In 28 years, technology has been the biggest change. The judicial branch has gone from docket books and paper files to all electronic.

She finds her task of jury attending the most-fun part of her job because of the opportunity this affords to listen to a trial progress and meet the citizens serving as jurors. Most interesting to her is following the law and judges' rulings.

"It's a constant learning job for all of us," she said, referencing changes in the law as well as technology.

The Iowa Courts system competes with other cornerstone services such as schools for state funds.

Cash has long been tight in the court system. At or just before her tenure at each, until present, Bausman has seen reductions at the clerk's offices in Grundy Center and Hampton from five to three.

District court, associate and magistrate judges rotate around the 2nd Judicial District, which is based in Mason City.

Information about the fiscal 2017 Iowa Court Administration budget is now available online. The legislature appropriated the same amount of funding for the Iowa Judicial Branch in fiscal 2017 as the ending fiscal year, which is $5 million short of the amount needed to maintain the current level of service to Iowans, the Iowa Courts website states.

Already, over 95 percent of the state budget allocation was for employees, Bausman said. The clerk's offices already save on overhead costs by being housed by the county governments.

For fiscal 2017, the court decided to establish a hiring freeze for all vacancies in the judicial branch, with very few, limited exceptions, the Iowa Judicial Branch website states.

The only job in the area publicly

Debra Bausman posted as of June 20 is a June 9 posting for a certified shorthand reporter in Waverly (www.iowacourts.gov/ Administration/Career_Opportunities/).

Plans for further savings include reducing travel by 10 percent and reducing furniture by 50 percent.

Some technology funding will be shifted to another fund. There will be a moratorium on expansion of specialty courts, though state Supreme Court approval will be required before a district can eliminate any specialty court.

As part of the effort to develop long-term planning options, the court has asked the state court administrator to complete a workload study of all aspects of judicial branch operations, the website says.

This will be the first workload study since the courts have gone to electronic records, Bausman said.

Rae Ann Codner has been with the Butler County Clerk of Court Office for 32 years and will continue on.

Codner and Bausman both didn't think they'd see furloughs for all judicial employees, or the layoffs or the reduced hours that they have seen.

Many offices lost people to layoffs, in the early 2000s, Bausman said. As for the last time money was tight, she said, "We furloughed then did closed doors because we had to catch up on our work somehow."

Hours have been cut. Staff has been shared. Bausman said there were 63 clerks of court spread across 99 Iowa counties. Two clerks in District 2 cover four counties. Another one has three counties. These decisions were based on workload.

"It seems like it's a constant downsizing," Bausman said.

Days are never the same on the job, Bausman said, as the clerks of court handle issues ranging from substance abuse, CINA cases, mental health, civil, and probates of estate (the tension depends on how the people coming in can handle things, Bausman said) to happier cases like the occasional adoption. The magistrate performs a wedding from time to time, but recording of vital statistics such as marriages, divorces and deaths has been moved to the county recorders.

Bausman said when she and Butler County Deputy Clerk Sandy Groen retire (who retired June 30), "We are going to miss Rae Ann, all our coworkers, judges, attorneys, law enforcement, and the others using our system. You build up a network of friends that become family."

Comets go cold offensively, settle for fourth at state

By Scott Bierle Mid-America Publishing FORT DODGE- The postseason winning ways ended for the BCLUW softball team here Thursday and Friday, as the Comets failed to score a run in their final two games against Van Meter and Logan-Magnolia, respectively, and settled for a fourth place finish in Class 2A at the state tournament.

Van Meter 2, BCLUW 0 The Comets dropped a 2-0 decision to Van Meter in the Class 2A semi-finals of the Iowa Girls’ High School State Softball Championships at the Rogers’ Sports Complex.

A two-run fourth inning ended the hopes of a state title for the underdog BCLUW girls. Sixth-ranked Van Meter coupled two base hits with an error and well-placed bunt for all the runs needed.

The 13th-ranked Comets had won four straight post-season games and eight consecutive overall before the bats struggled Thursday. BCLUW managed just three singles and never generated a scoring threat against Bulldog pitcher Bailey Richards.

“I felt we were ready to play and we played well, but we just didn’t put the bat on the ball. We didn’t give ourselves a chance to get anything going on the bases,” stated BCLUW coach David Lee. Richards retired the first 11-ina-row against the Comets before Samantha Ubben reached base on an error with two-out in the fourth frame. She was stranded at first. The Van Meter senior struck out 10 with two each in the first, third, sixth and seventh innings.

“She changed speeds quite a bit and was in on our hands a lot. She would go outside and then came right back inside,” Lee stated on Richards.

After a game-opening soft single to leftfield by Meagan Blomgren, BCLUW hurler Olivia Callaway retired nine-in-a-row. Blomgren was stranded at third in the first after she stole both second and third.

Blomgren had 43 stolen bases before state.

The Bulldog’s fourth started with a single for Mackenzie Blomgren, who then robbed second. Blomgren took third on Richards’ sharp single to left and scored when the ball skipped past leftfielder Olivia Hughes. Richards moved to third on a sacrifice-bunt and motored home when Haley Forret dropped a perfectly placed bunt on the first base line for a fielder’s choice. Richards entered the state show with a .604 batting average to go with 55 runs scored and 48 runs batted in.

Forret would be the Bulldogs’ last base runner as Callaway and Ubben in relief in the sixth, retired the final

BCLUW finished the 2016 season with a 30-10 overall record. (Scott Bierle/Mid-America Publishing photo) 11 batters. Callaway, tagged with the circle loss, struck out five and Ubben two.

The Comets’ Jorie Oaks broke up Richards’ no-hit bid with a twoout infield single in the fifth. Kate Goecke followed with a single to rightfield, but then came the third out when Jenna Willett, pinch-running for Oaks, was tagged out at third base on the throw from rightfield.

BCLUW’s third base hit and only fourth base runner came in the sixth with a two-out single by Nicole Lutes. Lutes was then called out as she left the base early during Jordyn Beeghly’s at bat.

“Early I thought we were a little anxious swinging the bat, but we tell them to do that. We don’t want the (umpire) calling us out. We work so much on hitting balls that aren’t on the plate, work on hitting hittable balls, not necessarily strike balls.

Then later the strikeouts just became contagious,” noted Lee. The loss left the Comets 30-9 and in a contest for third place Friday against Logan-Magnolia. Van Meter, riding a 14-game winning streak, advanced to the state championship game at 32-7 and against defending 2A champion Iowa City Regina.

Regina won Thursday’s second 2A semi-final, 7-0 over L-M. Lee added on the return to the diamond Friday. “Hey, we have a chance to end the season winning.

That’s what it’s all about. There’s a chance to end the season winning.

Only 10 teams in the state are going to do that. That’s what you play for.”

To reach the state semis, BCLUW won three regional games, including in nine-innings over West Marshall

and at second-ranked Cascade, and then derailed top-ranked Durant in the state’s quarterfinals.

The only other year Van Meter played at state softball was in 2010 when BCLUW capped back-to-back state titles in 2009 and 2010.

BCLUW and Van Meter also met in the basketball post-season this past winter and the Bulldogs again bettered the Comets, 44-29 in a regional semi-final.

Scoring by Innings: Van Meter 000 200 0 -2 3 1 BCLU 000 000 0 -0 3 1 Bailey Richards (W) and Abby Archer; Olivia Callaway (L), Samantha Ubben (6) and Kate Goecke.

Logan-Magnolia 3, BCLUW 0 A second straight day of offensive struggles led to a 3-0 setback and a fourth place finish for the BCLUW girls at the Iowa Girls’ High School Softball Championships at the Rogers’ Sports Complex here Friday.

Third-ranked Logan-Magnolia dealt the No. 13 Comets a second shutout loss in two days in the Class 2A third place contest.

Like the 2-0 semi-final loss Thursday to eventual state champion Van Meter, BCLUW struggled swinging the stick. The Comets managed just four singles after booking three singles against Van Meter.

“I really thought we could win today. After we didn’t do anything offensively yesterday, I thought we would just break out and really have an offensive night tonight,” stated BCLUW coach David Lee. “We didn’t get the tone set right with the first at bat and sometimes that has a lot to do with what’s going on. I’m not sure why we struggled at the plate. It seemed we had a hard time figuring out the strike zone,” he

added.

The fourth inning again did in the Comets as the Panthers plated two runs, just like Van Meter one day earlier. Abby Carlson did the damage with a sky-high two-run home run to leftfield. Carlson’s long ball came after Jenna Peschel singled with one out.

Logan-Magnolia tacked on an insurance tally in the seventh. Kenzie Cunard opened the at bat reaching base on an error and circled the bases on Rife Reanna’s double to left-center.

Freshman shortstop Easton Swanson stroked two of the Comets’ four safeties with a two-out single in the second and lead-off base knock in the fifth. Samantha Ubben had a one-out single in the fourth and Jordyn Beeghly a two-out safety in the sixth. Jenna Willett and Parker Scurr, pinch running for Swanson in the fifth and Beeghly in the sixth, respectively, made second, but for a second game no Comet found third base.

“They we able to put a couple hits together and we just never could do that,” stated Lee. BCLUW finished the state show with 14 scoreless innings after scoring a run in the 11th inning of Monday’s quarterfinals to upset topranked Durant, 2-1. That win secured a top four finish for the Comets, as Durant eventually ended seventh.

“I don’t know if we had that mental edge we had against West Marshall, Cascade and Durant. After the Durant game I think the girls took a deep breath and never mentally were back in it.

“I don’t now if you can blame the kids or not. We beat No. 2 Cascade

to get here. Then we come up here and in game one beat No. 1 Durant.

I think we just got so up for those games, we just had a little downfall when it came to what was coming next,” said Lee. Senior hurler Olivia Callaway allowed seven base hits, struck out one and walked none in the loss, while L-M’s Abby Straight fanned eight in the four-hit shutout pitching win.

Callaway earned all-tournament honors. The senior standout started all three games in the circle and threw 23 innings, struck out 15 and walked none. She also delivered the game-winning hit against Durant.

The Comets capped a memorable summer campaign with a 30-10 winloss record.

Logan-Magnolia ended a lofty 34-3 and wrapped-up a second straight top three finish at state. The Panthers, with eight starters back from a year ago, were the Class 1A state runners-up to AGWSR last summer.

Newman Catholic blanks Spartans in substate final

By JOHN JENSEN Mid-America Publishing HAMPTON — Freshman Evan Paulus tossed a one-hit shutout, lifting Mason City Newman Catholic to a 12-0 Class 1A Substate 3 final victory over Grundy Center at Hampton-Dumont High School.

“Not a lot of things went right with this game,” Grundy Center coach Matt Lauver said. “The pitching was off to a rough start and when they did hit they hit those bloop fly balls that we just couldn’t adjust to.

They didn’t anything hard and when they did we made the play.”

Lauver filled in for regular Spartan coach Jason Burroughs, who had to sit out the game after being ejected from the district final.

Paulus kept Grundy Center hitters off balance with a strong fastball and effective breaking ball. He faced the minimum-possible 15 hitters while striking out eight and not issuing a walk. The Newman ace improved to 7-1 on the season with a miniscule 1.11 earned run average.

“He mixed up things really well,” Lauver said. “He knew when to throw that fastball, when to throw that breaking ball and it kept all of our guys off counter. He mixed up our batters so well that our batters could not adjust and could not pick that up. We were swinging at stuff we shouldn’t have, we chased a lot.”

The Spartans’ lone hit of the night came in the first inning as Grant Weldon hit a ground ball deep to the hole at shortstop and outran the throw to first base. He was doubled off first moments later when Jared Clapp lined out to the shortstop on a hit-and-run play.

Newman’s offense managed just five hits against the Spartans but drew eight walks in the first two innings, two of which forced runs home. Four of the first six Knight batters drew free passes, with Paulus’ walk forcing the first run home.

Two more runs scored on a Matthew Fitzsimmons base hit and others scored on a Spartan error and wild pitch.

Lauver said the strategy for his pitchers was to locate pitches in spots where Newman hitters would have a hard time getting to the ball.

“We weren’t working for anyone to throw a curveball here, a changeup here … we we just looking for the guy who could locate everything, and unfortunately we couldn’t find that tonight. That’s baseball and that’s how things go sometimes.”

Even after the game was delayed one day due to heavy rain Tuesday, Lauver opted against throwing ace Austin Burroughs, who had thrown more than 140 pitches four days earlier in the substate final against Gladbrook-Reinbeck.

Ahead 5-0 after an inning, Newman padded its lead in the second.

Back-to-back walks to the first two hitters of the second inning brought a visit to the mound by Lauver and Spartan starter Grant Weldon’s day ended after he allowed a base hit and walk to the next two Knight hitters.

Sophomore Garret Weldon stopped the bleeding though not before Newman plated five second-inning runs on its way to a 10-0 lead.

Three of Newman’s five hits came in the third inning as it plated two more runs before Ga. Weldon struck out the side in the fourth.

The loss ends a sterling postseason run for the Spartans, who knocked off the top two seeds in District 5 on their way to their second district title in three years.

“Our goal at the beginning of the year was to get in the position that we are in, so for us to be where we are we did a great job,” Lauver said. “I’m proud of every one of these players for doing what they did. They came out and they fought whether we won, lost or anything.

They came out and they battled all year.”

GC graduates five seniors from this year’s team including its top three hitters, Austin Burroughs, Jared Clapp and Gr. Weldon, and top two pitchers, Burroughs and Gr. Weldon.

“All of our seniors have played together since they were in seventh grade – they’ve played together for a long, long time,” Lauver said. “They played with each other and they knew what it was going to take to get to this game. For them to do that (two of three years), they worked hard for it and I’m proud of them.”

Comets, Cougars well represented on all-NICL West softball teams

Jordyn Beeghly

Samantha Ubben

Nicole Lutes Olivia Callaway

By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register GRUNDY COUNTY- The all-NICL West conference softball teams were announced last week, and unsurprisingly, over half of the first team selections came from the conference champions from BCLUW and runners-up AGWSR. BCLUW senior pitcher Olivia Callaway was named the league MVP and highlighted the first team selections for the Comets: in conference play, she finished a perfect 10-0 on the mound (22-1 overall) with an ERA of 0.49 and 70 strikeouts against just 11 walks. Opponents hit just .185 against the Truman State volleyball recruit, who led her team to an outright conference title and its first state tournament berth since 2010.

Callaway also excelled at the plate, batting .500 (.556 on-base percentage) with two home runs and 18 RBIs, and she tied East Marshall’s Maria Rasmussen for the most hits in conference play with 20.

Junior first baseman Jordyn Beeghly, senior outfielder Nicole Lutes and junior utility player Samantha Ubben were the other three first team selections for the Comets. Beeghly showed a huge improvement at the plate this season with a .447 batting average (she hit .316 last year), 10 RBIs, a triple and four stolen bases.

Lutes was a speed demon on the base paths and in the outfield, hitting .297 with six RBIs and nine stolen bases, the second most in the conference.

Ubben did a little bit of everything for BCLUW, often taking on a relief pitcher role for Callaway and finishing 1-1 with a 1.33 ERA in nine appearances, and she also hit .289 with four RBIs and three stolen bases. Utility player Jorie Oaks (.257, nine RBIs) was a second team selection, and catcher Kate Goecke (.241, two RBIs) received honorable mention.

Freshman pitcher Taryan Barrick emerged as the heir apparent to former Cougar star Ashley Sicard this season, earning first team honors in her first year as a full-time starter. She finished the season 10-2 with a 1.46 ERA, 114 strikeouts, 40 walks and an opponent’s batting average of just .121. She also batted .394 with nine RBIs in conference play.

Second baseman Abbie Young and third baseman Alaina Groninga also earned first team honors for the Cougars. Young, a senior, hit .452 with eight RBIs and five stolen bases, and Groninga batted a team best .463 with five RBIs. Second team selections for AGWSR included shortstop Addi Johnson (.316, nine RBIs), outfielder Anna Jaspers (.270, six RBIs) and utility player Ali Gerbracht (.350, five RBIs, four stolen bases). Mariah Jimmerson (.286, three RBIs) was an honorable mention selection.

Grundy Center had a trio of second team selections in senior second baseman Piper Johanns, senior outfielder Kayla Mathews and sophomore utility player Landry Luhring. Johanns batted .333 with a .389 OBP, drove in one run and stole five bases for the Spartans, while Mathews hit .238 with an RBI and seven stolen bases. Luhring hit .294 with a homer and seven RBIs, and she also stole five bases. Alyssa Mathews received honorable mention for the Spartans.

Two Gladbrook-Reinbeck seniors, outfielder Hayley Weber and utility player Madison White, were named to the second team. Weber hit .233 with

four RBIs, and White batted .345 with six RBIs and a .441 OBP. Eighth grader Reagan Skovgard (.421, three RBIs) earned honorable mention for the Rebels.

AGWSR coaches Scott O’Brien and Brenda Drake were named the coaches of the year, leading the Cougars to a 16-11 record and a second place finish in the conference.

News tip?

By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register GRUNDY COUNTY- Another season of NICL West baseball has now concluded, and 13 players from Grundy County schools were named to either the first or second team all-conference squads.

Gladbrook-Reinbeck, which finished third in the conference behind East Marshall and West Marshall, led local schools with three first team selections—junior second baseman Alex Tscherter, senior third baseman Cam Murphy and junior utility player Joe Smoldt.

Smoldt had the highest batting average of any NICL West player with a minimum of 44 at-bats in conference play, hitting a whopping .596 with a .737 slugging percentage and finishing with 12 RBIs, eight doubles and 14 stolen bases. He also went 2-2 on the mound with a 3.00 ERA and an opponent’s batting average of just .191.

By DAVID PIKE Special to The Grundy Register For most of his life, Al Harberts lived right in Grundy Center where he worked and raised a family. He was a common sight downtown or at Spartan sporting events. What most people didn’t know or remember is that Al held the school’s record for the mile run for a half a century. It was 50 years before it was finally broken 2006 by Hall of Famer Dana Schmidt. Al’s 4:31 mile stood the test of time making it a true Hall of Fame achievement.

It is interesting to note that the Al Harberts owned the Spartan previous mile record held by Hall of record for the mile run for over 50 Famer Don Purvis, a record which years and was part of State record stood for 25 years before that! The mile run wasn’t the only school or relay teams from the late 1950s.

State record that Al was a part of, but it should be noted that Al was also a good basketball and football player in his high school days.

Al was an end on the football team all four years in high school, lettering twice. He lettered as a sophomore on a mediocre Spartan that was 2-6 for the season. Then, as a junior, Al hurt his knee and was unable to play in the fall of 1955. But his senior season, Al was back on the gridiron for the 1956 Spartans playing both offense and defense on a team which went undefeated going 8-0 and winning the North Iowa Cedar Conference Championship behind the running of Hall of Famer, Bill Smith. Perhaps Al’s favorite football memory was sealing a victory over Eldora with a 63 yard return of an intercepted pass for a touchdown. Al was recognized as an All-Area end by the Marshalltown Times Republican.

Basketball was Al’s third sport and he earned three letters on the court.

While lettering his sophomore year, the Spartans tied for the conference championship with a 9-3 record and 14-7 overall. As a junior and coming off his knee injury, the team wasn’t as good, reversing the previous year’s record to only 7 wins versus 14 losses. However, Al had his best individual game that year by scoring 39 points, falling just short of Hall of Famer Bud Bergman’s single game school record of 41 points. Al also chalked up games where he scored 27 and 22 points that year. As a senior, the basketball team turned things back around and finished with a respectable 13-7 record as Al earned his 3rd letter.

Saving the best for last and returning to the old cinder tracks of the 1950s Al excelled as a distance runner. He earned three letters in Track participating in distance events, relays, the long jump, and even the high hurdles.

Al has the distinction of being a part of setting several State track records either by himself or as part of a relay team. In 1955, Al broke the 24 year old conference record for the mile by over two seconds with a time of 4:44.

He also anchored the Mile Medley Relay team at the State meet that set a new State record of 3:53. His relay-mates were Jay Keen, Dicky Van Deest, and Tom Terrell. Then Al turned around and was part of the two-mile relay team that broke the 25 year old State record anchoring a team of Donavan Heltibridle, Larry Hickman, and Art Henze.

During the 1956 track season, his last year of track competition, Al broke school records for the high hurdles and the half mile. After winning the NICL conference meet in the mile, Al went on to State and won the indoor mile. He then set the State and Spartan school record at 4:31.1 while winning the State outdoor mile event.

Al remembered that race clearly. His typical race strategy was to let someone else set the pace while he would settle in 2nd, 3rd or 4th place.

By the final lap, Al would position himself by the leader and then make his move on the final turn and sprint to the finish. In winning the outdoor mile, Al followed his strategy trailing a good miler from Tama Toledo into the bell lap. True to form, Al blew by him on the last corner and won the race and State mile championship by 20 yards and set the State mile record. His Grundy school record lasted a half century. In total, Al actually set and broke the school record for the mile four times!

Following high school, Al was recruited by UNI, Drake, Wartburg and Luther to run track while UNI and Wartburg also wanted him as a two-sport athlete for basketball and track. However, Al went into the Army and actually played a little basketball overseas in the early 1960s on an Army basketball team in Germany that wrapped up his athletic career.
