Terry Branstad appointed Dr. Ann Lebo as the new Executive Director of the Board of Educational Examiners, where she will oversee all licensure for educators in Iowa, among other things. Lebo, who has taught at Grundy Center Community Schools for the past 12 years and has been the secondary principal for the past two years, said that she is honored to have been chosen for the position. “This is an incredible opportunity to serve the field of education in a role that I think is very important,” Lebo said. She said that although the whole process of her appointment happened very quickly – a matter of weeks – it’s okay with her, because it’s an opportunity she couldn’t say no to. “It really is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” she said. “When the governor calls you, you cant say no to that opportunity.” Lebo was given the OK on her resignation at the Grundy Center school board’s Monday night meeting, and she will begin her new position on Friday, July 1, serving at the pleasure of the governor. For now, she said she and her family plan to stay in Grundy Center, and she will make the commute to Des Moines until they figure out the best arrangement. Lebo said that even though she won’t be at Grundy Center Community Schools anymore, she is confident that her work through the Board of Educational Examiners will continue to have a positive effect on education in Iowa. Lebo appointed as director of Iowa Board of Educational Examiners By MICHAELA KENDALL The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER Starting in July, Arlington Place of Grundy Center will begin construction of a $2.6 million addition to the existing apartment community. The addition, which will span over 10,000 sq. ft., will include the construction of 10 memory care apartments and six assisted living apartments. Currently, Arlington Place consists of 24 apartments; the expansion would increase that number to 40 apartments. Kaylene Hoskins, manager at Arlington Place, said that the company has been discussing the possibility of an addition for several years now. At least part of the need for the addition is due to the increasing demand for assisted living in the Grundy Center area. Hoskins said that for quite some time Arlington Place has been full – and there’s a fairly lengthy waiting list to secure an apartment – so adding more rooms was something good to do not just for the company, but for the community. “We’re really excited about the expansion, especially the memory care apartments because we’ll be able to provide more specific care for residents who have Alzheimer’s or dementia,” she said. Right now, there is no specific memory-care unit at Arlington Place, though they are still able to house residents with any memory- care issues. Along with that, Hoskins said that Arlington Place will be looking to increase their staff anywhere from one to five employees, or more, depending on residents’ needs. The plan is for construction to begin in July, and the hope is for everything to be finished by early winter. HDC Development, LLC, of St. Joseph, Minnesota has been tasked with construction of the addition, and Cole Group Architects of St. Cloud, Minnesota has developed the architectural drawings.

(Courtesy graphic) By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER- The ongoing saga of wind energy in Grundy County and the clash between the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Supervisors got a new wrinkle on Monday morning, as the supervisors accepted the resignation of Planning and Zoning Chairman Duane Dirks after he wrote a pointed letter, dated June 22, criticizing the board for its handling and approval of the Ivester Wind Farm. “I have been contemplating my tenure on the Grundy County Planning and Zoning Commission since attending the Board of Supervisors’ public hearing concerning the rezoning request for the Ivester Wind Energy project. After much thought and input from others, I have decided to resign from my appointment to the P and Z Commission,” he wrote. “I felt it was inappropriate for county supervisors to make disparaging Planning and Zoning chair resigns over Supervisors’ comments See ZONING page 3 See CANDIDATES page 7 By ROB MAHARRY The Grundy Register CONRAD- When retiring BCLUW and Grundy Center nurse Gloria Dielschneider first got interested in school health in the 1980’s, not a single school district in Grundy County had a nurse on staff. Now, as she prepares to walk away from her position, which she has held at BCLUW since 2001 and Grundy Center since 2005, Dielschneider reflected on what drove her into her field in the first place, misconceptions about what a school nurse really does and how students’ health needs have changed over the years. After growing up in Conrad and completing nurse’s training in 1975, Dielschneider did stints at both the Grundy County Memorial Hospital and the Iowa Veteran’s Home before first getting involved with Grundy County Public Health in the mid 1980’s. It was then that she realized her passion and began to push for better health care in rural school districts. At Longtime GC, BCLUW school nurse reflects upon retirement Retiring BCLUW and Grundy Center school nurse Gloria Dielschneider. (Contributed photo) the time, districts didn’t see a big need for health services, and with tight budgets especially in smaller schools, it was far from a top priority. “I advocated with all the schools in the county regarding school health services and even served on a state committee to promote school health in rural schools,” she said. In 2001, she was first hired as the BCLUW school nurse and joined Grundy Center in 2005, but was contracted through public health until 2008, when she became a school employee at both districts. Dielschneider noted that contrary to the ideas that many people may have in their heads about school nurses, they do a lot more than take temperatures and put on Band-Aids. During her tenure, she split time between a total of five buildings and devised health plans for students in need of special health accommodations, worked with teachers on how to deal with these issues, educated students on CPR, dental health, immunizations, communicable diseases and a host of other health topics and was in charge of preparing for emergencies and training medical aids, among other duties. “I almost see myself more as a case manager of all those health plans than a nurse that sits in the office and puts Band-Aids on,” she said. “I also work a lot with students, teachers, physicians and other resources in the community.” The highlight of Dielschneider’s career came in 2012 when she received the Iowa School Nurse of the Year Award from the Iowa School Nurse Organization (ISNO), and even in retirement, she plans to serve on an ISNO legislative advisory board, where she will work with national groups and continue to advocate for better school health and the importance of school nurses. In contrast to when she first joined Grundy County Public Health in the 80’s, every school See DIELSCHNEIDER page 7

G R U N D Y C E N T E R – Recently, Gov. Terry Branstad appointed Dr. Ann Lebo as the new Executive Director of the Board of Educational Examiners, where she will oversee all licensure for educators in Iowa, among other things.

Lebo, who has taught at Grundy Center Community Schools for

the past 12 years and has been the secondary principal for the past two years, said that she is honored to have been chosen for the position.

“ T h i s i s a n i n c r e d i b l e opportunity to serve the field of education in a role that I think is very important,” Lebo said.

She said that although the whole process of her appointment happened very quickly – a matter of weeks – it’s okay with her, because

it’s an opportunity she couldn’t say no to.

“It really is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” she said. “When the governor calls you, you cant say no to that opportunity.”

Lebo was given the OK on her resignation at the Grundy Center school board’s Monday night meeting, and she will begin her new position on Friday, July 1, serving at the pleasure of the governor.

For now, she said she and her family plan to stay in Grundy Center, and she will make the commute to Des Moines until they figure out the best arrangement.

Lebo said that even though she won’t be at Grundy Center Community Schools anymore, she is confident that her work through the Board of Educational Examiners will continue to have a positive effect on education in Iowa.

G R U N D Y C E N T E R – Starting in July, Arlington Place of Grundy Center will begin construction of a $2.6 million addition to the existing apartment community.

The addition, which will span over 10,000 sq. ft., will include the construction of 10 memory care apartments and six assisted living apartments.

Currently, Arlington Place consists of 24 apartments; the expansion would increase that number to 40 apartments.

Kaylene Hoskins, manager at Arlington Place, said that the company has been discussing the possibility of an addition for several years now.

At least part of the need for the addition is due to the increasing demand for assisted living in the Grundy Center area.

Hoskins said that for quite some time Arlington Place has been full – and there’s a fairly lengthy waiting list to secure an apartment – so adding more rooms was something good to do not just for the company, but for the community.

“We’re really excited about the expansion, especially the memory care apartments because we’ll be able to provide more specific care for residents who

have Alzheimer’s or dementia,” she said.

Right now, there is no specific memory-care unit at Arlington Place, though they are still able to house residents with any memory-care issues.

The plan is for construction to begin in July, and the hope is for everything to be finished by early winter.

The Grundy RegisterGRUNDY CENTER- The

ongoing saga of wind energy in Grundy County and the clash between the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Supervisors got a new wrinkle on Monday morning, as the supervisors accepted the resignation of Planning and Zoning Chairman Duane Dirks after he wrote a pointed letter, dated June 22, criticizing the board for its handling and approval of the Ivester Wind Farm.

“I have been contemplating my tenure on the Grundy County Planning and Zoning Commission since attending the Board of Superv isors ’ publ ic hear ing concerning the rezoning request for the Ivester Wind Energy project. After much thought and input from others, I have decided to resign from my appointment to the P and Z Commission,” he wrote. “I felt it was inappropriate for county supervisors to make disparaging

CONRAD- When re t i r ing BCLUW and Grundy Center nurse Gloria Dielschneider first got interested in school health in the 1980’s, not a single school district in Grundy County had a nurse on staff. Now, as she prepares to walk away from her position, which she has held at BCLUW since 2001 and Grundy Center since 2005, Dielschneider reflected on what drove her into her field in the first place, misconceptions about what a school nurse really does and how students’ health needs have changed over the years.

After growing up in Conrad and completing nurse’s training in 1975, Dielschneider did stints at both the Grundy County Memorial Hospital and the Iowa Veteran’s Home before first getting involved with Grundy County Public Health in the mid 1980’s. It was then that she realized her passion and began to push for better health care in rural school districts. At

the time, districts didn’t see a big need for health services, and with tight budgets especially in smaller schools, it was far from a top priority.

“I advocated with all the schools in the county regarding school health services and even served on a state committee to promote school health in rural schools,” she said.

In 2001, she was first hired as the BCLUW school nurse and joined Grundy Center in 2005, but was contracted through public health until 2008, when she became a school employee at both districts. Dielschneider noted that contrary to the ideas that many people may have in their heads about school nurses, they do a lot more than take temperatures and put on Band-Aids.

During her tenure, she split time between a total of five buildings and devised health plans for students in need of special health accommodations, worked with teachers on how to deal with these issues, educated students on CPR, dental health, immunizations,

communicable diseases and a host of other health topics and was in charge of preparing for emergencies and training medical aids, among other duties.

“I almost see myself more as a case manager of all those health plans than a nurse that sits in the office and puts Band-Aids on,” she said. “I also work a lot with students, teachers, physicians and other resources in the community.”

The highlight of Dielschneider’s career came in 2012 when she received the Iowa School Nurse of the Year Award from the Iowa School Nurse Organization (ISNO), and even in retirement, she plans to serve on an ISNO legislative advisory board, where she will work with national groups and continue to advocate for better school health and the importance of school nurses.

In contrast to when she first joined Grundy County Public Health in the 80’s, every school

Grundy County to participate in sTEP

The Grundy County Sheriff's Office will participate in a project with the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) which is promoting traffic safety in Grundy County.

Sheriff officers conducted a seat-belt survey this past week in the ru-ral areas and a seatbelt useage rate of 96% was recorded for front seat occupants.

The days of Friday, July 1 through Tuesday, July 5 will be the Iowa ‘Special Traffic Enforcement Program’ (sTEP).

Grundy County officers will be looking specifically for seat belt and child restraint violations, along with excessive speed, stop sign violations and alcohol/drug useage.

The Sheriff noted the above peri-od includes the 4th of July Holiday on Monday, and this is the second major holiday of the summer, there-fore he urges everyone to drive with care.

The sTEP (special Traffic En-forcement Programs) are funded by a grant from the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau.

The man is described as having dark hair and dark complexion and driving a small gray car.

Grundy County Sheriff looking for suspicious man

By Michaela KendallThe Grundy Register

GRUNDY CENTER – Students at Grundy Center Middle School will soon have the chance to learn in a whole new environment thanks to the extended outdoor classroom that’s currently underway.

Middle school social studies instructor Todd Zinkula, who is heading the project, has had the idea in his mind for a while now, but never had the wherewithal to undertake the project until now.

Upon the approval of Principal Lebo, Superintendent Schutz and the other middle school instructors, Zinkula has taken the first steps towards making the outdoor classroom a reality.

In his letter to the facilities committee informing them of the project, Zinkula outlined his plan for the extended outdoor classroom.

“I am hoping to create a place where teachers can send kids to work, be outside, and still be able to monitor them easily,” the letter read.

The proximity to the classroom windows make the area easy for instructors to monitor, and with some crowded classes of 28 students this year, the extra space will be much needed, Zinkula said.

He noted that the classroom would also be of benefit in other ways, such as providing a seating area for social time with Mr. Lindeman, which does not have seating for students to sit and talk like young adults, and it would also provide an area for students to sit during outdoor recess.

The classroom, which will be located on the north side of the main entrance to the middle school, will be very basic; a slab of concrete will be poured next to each of the classroom windows (between the sidewalk and the building), and a picnic table will then be placed on the slab and secured with a small chain.

The bushes that previously occupied the space where the classroom will be will be removed

by Precision Landscaping as a contribution to the project.

Further, the project will become a learning experience for Mr. Rohlers’ horticulture class, who will help with landscaping around the new classroom.

The whole project has an estimated cost of around $10,000, according to Zinkula. Currently, they have about half of the required money, and three tables, which were donated by a memorial.

Some of the dollars has come from the middle school fundraiser money, some of it they are hoping to get grant money for, and for the rest of the money they are looking for donations.

Zinkula and several other educators supporting the project will

be setting up informational booths during Felix Grundy Festival to share the project with people around town. One booth will be set up at the school during the Community Breakfast from 7:30 to 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 9. Another booth will be set up downtown on the courthouse square during the festivities.

Zinkula said he hopes to raise enough money to finish the project before school starts in the fall, but if he needs to roll it into the next year, he will do that, too.

Contac t Todd Zinkula a t [email protected] or Heather Gutknecht at hgutknecht@spartanpride .net f o r m o r e information, or to make a donation to the project.

GRUNDY CENTER – This year’s Felix Grundy Festival Vintage Market promises to be a pickin’ good time.

For the first time ever, the market will be hosted by a group of local friends who go by the name of ‘4 The Love of Junk.’

The group of four junktistas – Meghan Lynch, Holly Jirovsky, Melanie Kirkpatrick and Jenn Venenga – are hoping to use their expertise in repurposing old junk into new treasures to revamp the market.

Their a im is to turn the traditionally small market into a full-fledged flea market, where people from all over can come to discover a wide array of hidden gems, from hand-picked vintage items to handmade furniture to home décor to local crafters and artists.

Their only restriction for vendors is that everything must be either vintage or handmade.

“Our goal is to bring in as many quality vendors as we can, so we can offer something for everyone,” said Holly Jirovsky.

So far, the group has attracted around 14 different vendors, and their goal is to have at least 20. Anyone interested in being a vendor can still apply up to the day of the market (July 9) by contacting one of the members of ‘4 The Love of Junk.’

One particularly interesting vendor who will have a booth at the market is the famous “Pickin’ Preacher,” an Eldora-based man who has gained a following spreading the word about antiques through central Iowa.

The group of friends said that although it’s been a lot of work

organizing the vintage market, it’s also been a lot of fun for them.

“My favorite part’s been all the research,” said Jenn Venenga. “We’ve been driving all over to visit flea markets and see how they do things, while spreading the word about our market.”

G r o u p m e m b e r M e l a n i e Kirkpatrick said she thinks it will be interesting to see a flea market from the other side. Usually they are the ones visiting the flea market as buyers, she said, but now they will get a chance to see what it’s like to be on the opposite side of the booth.

The group was first asked to take charge of the market this year after gaining attention around town with their window displays for Main Street Grundy Center.

For a few years now, the group of local moms have gathered together

to junk their way across Iowa, gaining traction on social media by sharing their adventures with followers.

Each of them has their own style, and something specific they like.

As group member Meghan Lynch describes it, “What we look for is stuff that our husbands would burn.”

All the junk that they find is then given a new life, whether it’s repurposed or just used in a new way.

They’ve even es tabl i shed themselves in the junking field enough that other people have even started asking them to buy for them when they go out junking. For now it’s mostly just friends and family,

but the group said they wouldn’t mind expanding on that in the future, as well as giving home décor and junking advice to anyone interested.

As far as whether or not they have plans to organize next year’s Felix Grundy Vintage Market, the group laughed, adding: “Ask us in two weeks.”

To keep up with the group’s junking adventures, you can follow them on Facebook by searching @4theloveofjunkia or keep up with their Instagram account by searching 4theloveofjunk – and don’t forget to visit the Felix Grundy Festival Vintage Market on the courthouse square from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 9!

From page 1remarks directed at the P and Z Commission during the April 11 public hearing.”

During that hearing, Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Barb Smith opined that she couldn’t understand why the zoning board paved the way for wind energy by changing its ordinances to allow it in 2009 and then rejecting both the Wellsburg Wind Farm in 2013 and the Ivester project in 2016 (both decisions were eventually overruled by the supervisors).

Dirks went on to reference an article from the May 12 edition of The Grundy Register, in which supervisor Jim Ross questioned whether the county needed a planning and zoning commission at all during a meeting that week, though he later added that he did not wish to dissolve it. In his letter, Dirks noted that the commission’s primary objectives are to preserve agricultural land, protect it from development and ensure that it remains an integral part of the local economy, adding that wind energy projects did not fit those criteria.

“Those of us serving on the P and Z Commission take the position seriously and have made decisions based on what we feel is

the public’s best interest,” he wrote. “Pleasing the Board of Supervisors is not part of my thought process when I cast a vote.”

The decision to overrule the commission’s 6-0 vote and approve the 45 turbine, 90 megawatt proposed project, according to Dirks, was strictly revenue based for the Board of Supervisors, which he wrote that he understood and accepted. What bothered him, however, was the way the board criticized and belittled the Planning and Zoning Commission instead of sharing a reciprocal understanding of why the commission voted the way that it did.

Di rks had served on the commission since 2010 and was named chairman in May of 2015. Kim Junker, who voted against the Ivester project in February, and Yolonda Butler, who was not present for the vote, also resigned from their seats last month after serving their five-year terms.

“Ultimately, I have lost the desire to volunteer my time and effort to serve on a commission where my service is not only unapprec ia ted , bu t publ ic ly criticized,” he wrote in conclusion.

A request for further comment from Dirks was declined.

The Iowa High School Musical Theater Awards, presented by Des Moines Performing Arts, is an education-based program that provides support for high school musical theater programs and highlights the importance of arts education. For 2015-2016, all high schools within a 125-mile radius from Des Moines Performing Arts were invited to participate.

The program consisted of three parts: The adjudication process: throughout the year, panels of theater professionals and educators attend and review each participating school 's musical production. Students and directors receive valuable feedback that can be used to grow and strengthen their future work.

Learning Opportunities: Special learning opportunities, including

technical workshops and master classes with visiting Broadway artists, are offered to help students and directors strengthen their craft and understanding of musical theater.

Awards and Recognition: Based on scores and nomination, school and students receive recognition that honor their achievements in categories such as choreography, design, principal role and overall musical production. The Iowa High School Musical Theater Awards is designed to be celebratory rather than competitive in nature. Any student or school at an outstanding level is recognized for their achievement. Multiple recipients may be named in each category as performances merit.

The year culminates in a professionally produced Awards Showcase at the Des Moines Civic

Center. The event features student performances and the opportunity for students to collaborate with guest Broadway professionals.

GRUNDY CENTER- The Grun-dy County Board of Supervisors re-ceived five complete bids for its an-nex building project, and they were opened at Monday morning’s regular meeting.

Mardy Holst and Jacob Bauer from AHTS Architects of Waterloo read the bids to the board, but no offi-cial decisions were made on Monday. One bidder, Contractor Services of Iowa from West Des Moines, submit-ted an incomplete bid and therefore was not considered.

The completed bids were as fol-lows (all were bonded as well): King Construction of Iowa Falls with a $1,085,000 base bid, a $38 unit price for soil replacement per cubic yard and an alternate bid of $62,900 for a garage; Woodruff Construction of Waterloo with a $1,094,000 base bid, $40 per cubic yard for soil replace-ment and an alternate bid of $67,000; Todd Hackett Construction of Mus-catine with a $1,128,000 base bid, $55 per cubic yard for soil replace-ment and an alternate bid of $60,000; Cardinal Construction of Waterloo with a $1,200,000 base bid, $50 per cubic yard for soil replacement and an alternate bid of $61,000; and Fal-lor Hurley of Hudson with a base bid of $1,234,000, $70 per cubic yard for soil replacement and an alternate bid of $53,700.

Holst and Bauer will review the bids this week, and a final decision is expected within the next week or two. The board has approved the is-suance of General Obligation Urban Renewal bonds in an amount not to exceed $1,400,000 to be put toward the project.

PJ Saliterman of EDF Renewable Energy attended the meeting to dis-cuss progress on the Ivester Wind Farm and some changes in plans due

to the detection of a bald eagle’s nest just north of 280th Street on the bor-derline between Felix and Melrose Townships. According to the fish and wildlife service, EDF will be re-quired to allow a 1.6 mile buffer zone around the nest, and a few of the land parcels that were originally approved for rezoning will not end up being used (Saliterman estimated that eight to 10 turbines had been planned for that area).

EDF is still looking to come back for a second round of rezoning for a few additional parcels in August or September of this year, but supervi-sors Chuck Bakker and Mark Schil-droth expressed concerns that the news they received on Monday was not what they had promised initially.

“We were told one thing, and now we’re told another,” Bakker said.

In response, however, Saliterman countered that changing and adjust-ing plans is just a part of doing busi-ness.

“That’s the nature of develop-ment,” he said. “That’s just how this works.”

Sheriff Rick Penning requested a total of about $78,000 in carryover money from the fiscal year 2016 budget-- $53,000 in basic funds, $16,000 in supplemental and $9,000 in rural management—be put toward the department’s new radio system, and the board eventually agreed by a 4-0 vote (Jim Ross was absent) to approve a carryover amount not to exceed $75,000. County Auditor Rhonda Deters noted that because the request came in just before the end of the fiscal year, the board will need to approve a budget amendment for fy2017. The carryover of $7,852 from emergency management and $15,600 from salary balance was also approved.

During his report, Penning added that the sheriff’s office had a few sus-

pects in a case of possible enticement of a child in Dike, but no arrests have been made yet. The vehicle has also reportedly been seen in Reinbeck.

County Engineer Gary Mauer reported that he has hired Amanda Steege for office cleaning at a rate of $14.50 per hour and accepted a fuel quote from Diamond Oil of Des Moines at a rate of $1.60 per gallon for diesel and $1.53 per gallon for gasohol. He also discussed a drainage district near Dike and possible chang-es due to issues with a berm.

IN OTHER BUSINESS, the board:

• Approved the non-union em-ployee personnel handbook.

• Approved the budgetary resolu-tion and a resolution authorizing the auditor to transfer funds for fy2017.

• Approved the reappointment of Ann Smith to the county conserva-tion board for a five-year term and the appointment of Paul Cooley for a one-year term.

• Approved the appointments of John Schuller and Ann Greiner to the INRCOG Regional Council.

• Approved the appointments of Todd Geer, Barb Smith and Mike Brandon to the Grundy County Me-morial Hospital Board of Commis-sioners.

• Approved the reappointment of Randy Thoren to the Veteran’s Af-fairs Commission.

• Approved a fireworks permit for Craig Arends.

• Approved the employment con-tracts for Regional Coordinator of Disability Services and Coordinator of Disability Services.

• Approved a liquor license re-newal for Jack and Arnie’s Steak-house South.

• Accepted the resignation of Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Duane Dirks.

A Look back through The Grundy RegisterCompiled by Michaela Kendall10 Years Ago This Week - 2006

If you own a junk car, live in Grundy Center, and meet the criteria for the city’s junk vehicle law, you can expect to hear from City Hall soon. During a special meeting of the Grundy Center City Council last week, Mayor Jack Stumberg said notices are going out to those in violation of the junk car law. The Grundy Center Police Department will be delivering notices for owners to abate the violation, giving owners 10 days to get their property cleaned up and the junk cars out of town. The latest efforts are part of an ongoing drive to remove what City Hall calls a public eyesore by getting property owners to comply with city law. Longtime Grundy Center elementary teacher Judd Lyons, who has just retired from his teaching career, will serve as Grand Marshal of the Felix Grundy Festival Junior Parade next Friday. Lyons most recently taught fourth grade, and has been part of the Grundy Center elementary faculty for 34 years. He also coached junior high girls volleyball and junior high boys track, teaching and coaching hundreds of Grundy Center youth during his career. The Community Foundation of Grundy County awarded $46,671.84 in grants Thursday, June 22, to 24 area non-profit organizations. The founda-tion, an affiliate of the Community Foundation of Waterloo/Cedar Falls and Northeast Iowa, was established to assist in providing resources for a broad range of existing and future charitable needs throughout Grundy County. Grants are awarded in the areas of: arts and culture; community affairs and development; education; environmental education and protection; health; historic preservation; and human services. At the Center Theatre … “Cars” and “X Men: The Last Stand.” Red ripe strawberries … $2.99 per 2 lb. box. Bi-color sweet corn … 6 for $1.99.

25 Years Ago This Week - 1991 In a world full of union negotiators and employees disgruntled over benefits offered by employers, the Grundy County Sheriff’s Dept. has an employee who works for no salary, and simply requires a kind word, a pat on the head and an occasional scratch behind the ears. Sound too good to be true? Not when it comes to Andy, the head of the canine division of the sheriff’s depart-ment! Andy is a 120 lb. 8-year-old German Shepard who lives with his handler and partner Deputy Bob Kruse of Conrad. He approached the mayor at the time and requested permission purchase a dog to help him with his law en-forcement duties. The mayor told him that if he (Kruse) could raise the $2,500 needed to purchase the dog, there would be no problem. And so Kruse did. The recipient of the 1991 Grundy Center Citizen of the Year award is Marv Peterson. The award recognizes a person who has made an outstanding contri-bution to the community of Grundy Center. Marv has been a board member of the Chamber of Commerce, member and past president of the Kiwanis Club, and member and past president of the United Methodist Church administrative council and men’s group. Holland’s annual Fourth of July celebration next Thursday will feature a six-team fast pitch softball tournament, food stands, children’s activities in-cluding water fights, and an “Iowa Corn” game “ stand. Kicking off the annual celebration will be a street dance on Main Street Wednesday evening, with “Heartland” providing music from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. The dance is sponsored by the Lone Tree Inn. At the Center Theatre … “Backdraft.” Mrs. Gerry’s Seafood Salad … $1.99 per lb. Schullsburg Farmers Cheese … $2.47 per lb.

50 Years Ago This Week - 1966An 18-year-old Wellsburg area farm girl was named Grundy County’s

1966 Dairy Princess at the annual June Dairy Month banquet Tuesday night at the Wellsburg Community School. Linda Van Deest, daughter of Mr and Mrs William Van Deest, will represent Grundy County in the Iowa Dairy Princess Contest at Des Moines, October 26-27.

Two South American friends who attended the Grundy Center community school this year were together for the last time Monday, as one left Tuesday on a train trip throughout the country before returning to her home in Colombia, and the other will leave Thursday to spend two weeks in the Washington , D.C., area before returning to Brazil. Cristina Maria Gaedes Muniz of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, who has made her home with the Roy Vanderwickens since January, attended the second semester of school in Grundy Center through the Youth for Understanding Program. Stella Giraldo of Pereira, Columbia, has made her home for the entire school year with the Ralph Moores through the American Field Service organization.

Marie-Claude Martinod, 17, of Annecy, France, will make her way home with the Harvey Sietsema family of Grundy Center during the coming school year, through the American Field Service program. Martinod will be a senior student at the school, and has studied English for five years and also has a knowledge of German.

75 Years Ago This Week - 1941A glass jar filled with chicken exploded at the home of C. E. Dirks in Hol-

land last Thursday and the broken glass cut the arms and face of Mrs. Clarence Knue, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dirks. The jar of chicken had been placed in the oven to be cooked. Steam had formed in the jar on which the lid was so tight that none of the steam escaped. As Mrs. Kruse was trying to get the lid off the glass jar exploded and splintered glass and chicken was splattered all over the room. Mrs. Kruse’s eyes were saved because she wore glasses a t the time. The doctor was called at once, who removed pieces of glass from Mrs. Kruse’s hands and face. Miss Mary Smith, who was in the room at the time of the explosion, received only very minor injuries.

A charge of drunken driving has been made against Frank Hurley from Ames, who failed to stop at a highway intersection and crashed into another car which had the right of way Sunday evening. Four people were injured in the collision and taken to the hospital. The collision took place on Primary No. 14 two miles north of the West Conrad service station and at the Whitten Road intersection.

Plans have been launched for quick attainment of Grundy county’s goal of $2500, its share of nearly $11,000,000 to be raised by the U.S.O. throughout the nation to provide recreational and leisure time facilities for young men who are serving their country In the armed services of the United States. The drive here and over the nation is sponsored by the’ United Service Organizations formed under the national direction of former District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey of New York, to correlate all activities designed to provide men of our army and our navy with clean, attractive places for recreation during off-duty hours.

“Men of Boystown” starts its engagement on Thursday for three days at the Center Theatre.

By MAggie OsBOrneToday’s article is going to deal with discipline. There are three concepts

that are important to define: Discipline, Punishment, and Authority.Discipline: training that develops self-control, character, or orderliness

and efficiency.Punishment: The act of making a

wrongdoer suffer; the penalty for a wrong or crime.

Authority: The power to determine, adjudicate, or otherwise settle issues or disputes;

jurisdiction; the right to control, com-mand, or determine.

It is important to understand the differ-ence between discipline and punishment. These are two very different concepts.

The keys to effective disciplining are the proper use of discipline and authority.

Parents must trust themselves as parents and they must position themselves as the ones with authority, in order to make decisions that are best for their children. Remember as a parent you have the most experiences to draw from. Parents generally have 20+ years of experiences, while children have from 0-4 years.

To have children that are well behaved and respectful, children must first of all, respect the people of authority, i.e. parents. Yelling or threatening chil-dren is not helpful, nor is allowing children to yell or threaten their parents.

The approach, by parents, to obtain authority and develop discipline in children is a difficult one. Many parents try to develop discipline through control without defining boundaries or clear expectations. Other parents are fearful of hurting their child’s feelings by seeming to be too tough. Dis-cipline should be something that is predetermined and done with the least amount of emotion possible.

Here is a possible approach to developing independent, but disciplined children:

1. Set the child down and explain in terms the child can understand what is expected.

2. Outline the consequences for poor behavior:1st infraction: Warning: That is not OK. You can roll the ball, but you

cannot throw the ball in the house. (example) (You have told the child what the issue is, and have given the child an alternative.

2nd infraction: Restate what the child was expected to do and give them a time out. (I suggest putting the child in his room. Where ever you decide to place the child, be sure they are removed from the setting. You do not want to give the child any more attention than possible when they are behav-ing badly. The child will stay in the room or time-out area until they have stopped yelling, or screaming.

Do not keep reminding them that they are going to have to stay in time-out until they stop yelling or screaming. You have already told them. The yelling and screaming is to get your attention and keep it.

With consistency, the child will realize that when they stop yelling or crying, they are able to come out and again be with others. When a child is more mature they can be given control of when they are ready to join others. Consistency is important, and even more so when the child is given respon-sibility for monitoring their own behavior.

Remember: Each time the child repeats the inappropriate behavior; the child is immediately sent to their room or set in a time out. The child must know immediately that they have acted inappropriately and the appropriate consequence must be imposed again.

Once the child has calmed down and the situation has passed, you explain why they were returned to their room or area of time out. The child needs to do understand what Mommy and Daddy say is for their own safety and the safety of others. Children count on consistency to order their lives and learn how to behave socially.

Remember: Poor behavior will not change overnight. It is a 24/7 job. Parenting is the hardest job anyone will ever do, if it is done it well! Hang in there I know you can do it!

PrimoparentingGrassley Q & A: Affordable Rx

Question: What is contributing to the cost of prescription drugs?Answer: There’s no doubt that the rising cost for prescription medicine

weighs heavily on the minds of Iowans. The issue comes up at nearly every one of my county meetings across the state. That’s because it hits so close to home for Iowa households: their pocketbooks and their medicine cabinets. The miracles of modern medicine have dramatically improved and extended the quality of life for people with debilitating, chronic and even life-threat-ening conditions. Prescription drugs and biologics require tremendous re-search, time and investment to bring the latest wonder drug to market. Scien-tists, researchers and doctors work tirelessly to develop ideas into medicines which help all of us, and innovators should be rewarded for their investments and creative efforts in advancing cures for patients all over the world.

As a federal policymaker, I want to make sure our system of free en-terprise works. That means writing health care, tax, and trade policies that foster growth, competition, product safety and consumer choice. It means keeping an eye out for predatory tactics and exercising robust oversight of anti-competitive business practices that prevent the free market from firing at all cylinders. Consider the Hatch Waxman Act. It creates a streamlined process for generic drug companies to secure approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of their prescription medicines to gain entry to the marketplace as soon as a patent on a brand drug expires. Streamlining the process generates competition and lower prices for consumers as soon as possible. However, we have learned of tactics by both brand and generic drug manufacturers that frustrate the intent of the Hatch Waxman law and keep less expensive drugs off the pharmacy store shelves for longer periods of time. For example, pay-for-delay deals between brand and generic drug companies push back generic drug entry in the market and end up costing consumers and taxpayers billions of dollars.

Question: What is the latest anti-competitive tactic that is keeping drug costs high for iowans?

Answer: Once an idea for a new medicine is fully developed, it is up to the FDA to keep our medicine cabinets safe. It is crucial that the FDA makes decisions solely based upon science and not political pressure. Additionally, when the FDA develops a safety program for drugs, drug companies must follow the safety program. In fact, this was the intent of Congress when it authorized a safety program at FDA called Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). We have learned that certain brand companies are deploy-ing strategies to delay generic competitors by exploiting these REMS safety protocols to withhold access to drug samples for bioequivalence testing and generic drug development in violation of FDA regulations and the Hatch Waxman Act. We also have heard that certain brand companies are misusing REMS to deny access to the REMS single shared system requirements under FDA regulations. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) shares my concerns about these anti-competitive strategies. Manipulating the drug safety regime to delay generic drug entry in the market is wrong. I’m working to stop it.

Question: How would your bipartisan CreATes legislation save pa-tients and taxpayers money?

Answer: The Creating and Restoring Equal Access to Equivalent Sam-ples Act (CREATES) would address the specific anti-competitive abuse and manipulation of the FDA REMS safety regulations we have learned about from the FTC and generic companies. First, by refusing to sell samples of their product to potential generic competitors, some brand companies are unilaterally putting the brakes on the competition. The Hatch Waxman re-gime requires a generic manufacturer to conduct testing to certify its product is bioequivalent to the brand drug. If the generic company can’t purchase samples of the brand drug to conduct testing, competition effectively is taken off the table. Second, by denying generic companies to join a safety protocol with a brand company as required by FDA regulations, generic companies effectively are blocked from bringing their product to market. My bill would address these two barriers by giving a generic company a specific legal rem-edy to pursue injunctive relief in federal court. Specifically, it would allow the generic company to obtain the samples it needs or gain court-approved access to share safety protocol testing. Finally, to nip future shenanigans in the bud, my bill would authorize a judge to award limited damages. The pos-sibility of a financial slap on the wrist has a proven deterrent effect that will encourage companies to do the right thing or risk paying the consequences.

The bottom line is simple. Keeping prescription drug prices artificially high by manipulating the safety protocol system is costing consumers and taxpayers a fortune. Using an FDA regulatory process set up as a safety measure to instead block generic competition is not fair play by the brand companies. I’ll continue working to fix flaws in our regulatory, trade and tax policies with targeted, reasonable reforms that make a difference for Iowans and their hometown hospitals. From my anti-pay-for-delay bill, the Preserve Access to Affordable Generics Act and now my CREATES bill, I’m working to provide common sense solutions that would result in less expensive drugs for Iowans.

We enjoy watching humans doing some pretty incredible things as they compete in the Olympics, but what if animals had their own Olympics? Which animals would be best at the high jump? Which ones would excel in swimming? Who would take the gold in gymnastics? We’ll be pondering these fun scenarios with a zoo educator and four live animals at our program on Wednesday. Join us at 11:00 AM at the library for this audi-ence favorite program. All ages are welcome and will enjoy this great educational performance.

We’d also like to remind everyone that the library will be closed on Monday, July 4th for Independence Day. We hope you have a fun and safe holiday weekend!

Center theatre’s Reel-to-ReelAt the Center Theatre on Friday,

July 1 at 7 p.m. will be Disney’s an-imated/family Finding Dory 2D, Rated Pg, running approximately 105 minutes in length. At 7:30 will be the comedy/action Central Intelligence, starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and Amy Ryan. This movie is rated PG-13 for language, running approx-imately 110 minutes in length. There will be no weekend matinees this week.

The brand new Disney/Pixar’s Finding Dory 2D takes moviegoers back to the extraordinary underwater world from the original film, reunit-ing the friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish with her loved ones and ev-eryone learns a few things about the true meaning of family along the way. The lovable amnesiac blue tang Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) searches for her parents off the coast of Califor-nia. With the help of Nemo (Hayden Rolence) and his dad Marlin (Albert Brooks), Dory navigates the Monterey Marine Life Institute and evades pred-ators along the way in search of her family and a place to call home. Find-ing Dory 2D takes place about a year after the first film and features many

returning favorites as well as a host of new characters. See it in its final week at the Center Theatre, this week in 2D!

In the brand new comedy/action Central Intelligence, mild-mannered accountant Calvin (Kevin Hart) is stunned when he runs into an old high-school classmate named Bob (Dwayne Johnson) -- once an over-weight and frequently bullied teen, Bob is now a CIA agent who's in per-fect shape. However, their reignited friendship turns dangerous when Bob asks for former popular man on cam-pus Calvin's help with a crucial mis-sion involving the hacking of U.S. spy satellites. But before the settled-down numbers-cruncher realizes what he’s getting into, it’s too late to get out, as his increasingly unpredictable “old” friend drags him through a world of shoot-outs, double-crosses and espio-nage that could get them both killed in more ways than he can count. Don’t miss the action and humor in the Dwayne Johnson big summer hit Cen-tral Intelligence.

FELIX GRUNDY FESTIVAL

By Michaela KendallThe Grundy Register

GRUNDY CENTER – Nuisance properties were the cause of the special Grundy Center city council meeting that was called to order on Monday night.

During the meeting, council members discussed procedures for handling two properties that are in violation of city code.

One property, according to council members, needs siding and the roof needs to be finished. The other property has a building with no door and piles of debris around, with added reports of skunks and other animals on the property.

According to mayor Brian Buhrow, the landowner was sent a letter to clean up the properties and has refused, saying to have the city do it and bill him.

“We can do that, or we can go ahead and fine him $750 the first day and then $1,000 each day he doesn’t comply,” Buhrow said.

City attorney Seth Schroeder explained that the city has two possible courses of action.

The first option is to order it a nuisance, which means sending a letter out – which has been done – to notify the landowner that they have a certain number of days to clean up the property. If the property is not cleaned up within the given amount of time, the city can abate it, which means fixing the nuisances listed in the letter and then billing the landowner. If the bill isn’t paid, the county treasurer can be notified and the city can collect the money in the same manner as a property tax.

The second option is to issue a citation, which means that the

landowner is fined. The landowner will either pay the fine or a judge can order them to clean up the property. As a court order to clean up the property, a landowner can be held in contempt of court if they refuse to clean up the property. If the fine isn’t paid, it can also be collected in the same manner as a property tax.

“But who knows when we would get paid still,” said council member Janetta Miller in response to the city’s two options.

Schroeder agreed that there is still no guarantee of payment.

The two properties in discussion are owned by the same landowner, but because they are two separate matters, the council agreed that they would issue two separate citations or two separate abatements.

After discussing their options, the city agreed that abatement would be quicker, and would guarantee a solution to the problem as opposed to simply fining the landowner, which wouldn’t guarantee the property would be cleaned up unless there was a court order.

With that in mind, the council approved a motion to abate one of the properties of specified nuisances, and to have another notice sent to the landowner in regards to the other property.

“To just start fining and not really know what our options are … I think we need to know more before digging our teeth into this one,” Kiewiet said.

Miller agreed, adding that abatement on one property may inspire the land owner to clean up the other property, eliminating the need for fining.

GRUNDY CENTER – During a special meeting on Monday night, the Grundy Center school board approved the wrestling sharing agreement between Grundy Center and Aplington-Parkersburg.

The agreement, which was briefly discussed at the previous board meeting, states that Grundy Center will share varsity and middle school wrestling with the A-P school district for a maximum of three school years starting with the 2016-2017 school year.

It goes on to state that either district may opt out of the sharing agreement if agreed to by each district prior to April 1 of the prior school year.

As part of the agreement, transportation to Parkersburg and/or Aplington for practice or meets will be the responsibility of the Grundy Center, and Grundy Center will be responsible for paying $150 per student for each of their participants in the shared wrestling program.

All expenses for coaching and transportation to away meets will be the responsibility of A-P, but if the number of participants in the program grows to a point that an additional coach must be hired, Grundy Center will agree to pay half of the cost for the additional coach.

The A-P team name and logo will be used, but at the state level, the team name will reflect both school districts.

In the agreement, A-P states their intentions to help Grundy Center get their own, independent wrestling program started.

“The intent of the sharing agreement is to promote wrestling

by providing opportunities for students and to assist Grundy Center Schools in the development of their own, stand alone wrestling program,” the agreement reads. “It is suggested that Grundy Center consider hiring a coach after a year or two of the sharing arrangement to provide consistency in the program as Grundy Center looks to move to their own program.”

Board members discussed this aspect of the agreement, noting that there is currently no wrestling room at the Grundy Center schools.

“Right now we don’t have a wrestling room, which doesn’t help, but there is space where it could go to if needed,” said board member Bob Johanns.

Board president Ron Saak agreed that there would need to be a lot of future discussion on the topic of where the wrestling room would be if and when Grundy Center gets its own wrestling program up and running.

A f t e r s o m e d i s c u s s i o n , the board approved a motion to accept the 28 E Wrestling Sharing Agreement with A-P, noting that they would still need Superintendent Schutz to approve the agreement in writing before it can be implemented.

IN OTHER NEWS, the board …

• Approved the spring sport shar-ing agreement with G-R.

• Approved the resignation of Ann Lebo as secondary principal.

• Approved the resignation of Stacey Henley as middle school special education teacher.

• Approved the hiring of Dan Breyfogle as athletic director and .5 social studies teacher.

Back in March, Iowa Academic Decathlon hosted the 30th annual state competition. Thirty years is a pretty good run. Only a handful of schools can claim to have participat-ed for all thirty years. Grundy Center is one of those schools.

To commemorate this anniver-sary, Grundy Center High School Academic Decathlon coach Don Osterhaus is holding a reunion of sorts during this year’s Felix Grun-dy Days. The event will take place in two locations on Saturday, July 9.

From 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. de-cathletes are invited to come to the high school IMC. State trophies and banners will be on display and Ac-Dec alumni are encouraged to stop in, sign the guest book, and visit about what they’ve been doing since their high school days. Alums will also be able to have a picture taken. Mr. Osterhaus will have T-shirts on hand – one from every state com-petition — so decathletes can be “in uniform.” Family pictures are

encouraged as well. Also, be sure to check out the Academic Wall of Fame in the HS Commons. It fea-tures decathletes who have earned medals at the state competition.

At 11:00 a.m. Mr. Osterhaus, the guest book and the t-shirts will move to the court house square. The Aca-demic Decathlon booth will be open until 3:00 p.m.

At 2:00 p.m. all AcDec alumni are invited to meet at the booth for a group picture. The group photo will be featured in book that will be published in the fall. Mr. Osterhaus is working with GCHS alumnus Na-than Schleuder to print 30 Years in Pursuit of a Little Knowledge. The book will be a record book and in-formal history of Academic Decath-lon in the Grundy Center School district.

All 338 Decathlon alumni are invited to the reunion. If you know any decathletes who may not know about this event, please invite them!

From page 1district in Iowa is now required to have a school nurse on staff, though many districts (including BCLUW and Grundy Center) share the positions. Also, the number of individual health plans has skyrocketed: last year, she wrote a total of 87 of them between the two districts.

In retirement, Dielschneider will still have plenty to keep her busy: she has seven grandkids, and she and her husband Nile are currently in the process of selling their home and building a new house on his family’s farm in rural Conrad. Still,

she’ll always have great memories of her time as a school nurse and always looked forward to coming to work each day.

“Just working with the kids… being able to work with them and make accommodations and arrangements so that they can be involved in everything, and watching them mature, grow and become responsible for their own health needs,” she said. “Basically just being an advocate for those students with health needs and watching them succeed (is my favorite part of the job).”

GRUNDY CENTER - The long awaited project to modernize the second floor of the Grundy County Memorial Hospital and expand its Specialty Clinic is underway. The GCMH Foundation has a goal of raising $750,000 for the hospital’s renovation effort, and the campaign to raise funds for the project has received a boost from two local banks.

Top photo, GNB Bancorporation CEO Kevin Swalley, left, and pres-ident Bob Johanns, right, present a pledge to Grundy County Memo-rial Hospital Foundation manager Keely Harken, second from left, and hospital CEO Jennifer Havens.

The new private registration bays in the hospital’s Outpatient Services area will be named in honor of the gift from GNB Bank.

Bottom photo, Green Belt Bank & Trust market manager John Schuller, right, and Grundy Cen-ter branch manager Steph Kiewiet share the bank’s pledge with hospi-tal CEO Jennifer Havens. The re-ception and waiting area of the new Radiology Women’s Center will be named in honor of Green Belt Bank & Trust.

“We are extremely grateful for the bank’s support as we kick off our fundraising efforts in the com-munity,” says Harken. “Business-

es, organizations, and individuals have responded generously to past efforts to modernize the hospi-tal facility to meet present day needs. This final modernization project protects the investment in high quality health care for gener-ations to come.” Questions about the foundation’s campaign may be directed to Harken, 319-824-4152, or [email protected].

You never know what will pop up next on main street – even a mu-seum!

The newly-formed Grundy Cen-ter Historical Society will launch publically during Felix Grundy Festival with a “pop up museum” in the vacant store at 609 G Ave. True to its name, Grundy Center’s museum will pop up and then be open only on July 5-10.

The mini-museum will feature videos of old Grundy Center High School basketball games. You’ll find old trophies and cheerleader outfits, too. You’ll get a fascinating look at the life of Grundy Center’s first female medical doctor, Dr. Va-rina Des Marias.

Moreover, the museum is a place that tells stories of people who have called Grundy Center home. You can read stories from children written in the past year and see old toys and a doll house in a special section for children. You can watch

a video of Jean Evans tell the sto-ry of former U.S. Congressman Cooper Evans and his family. Oth-er sections of the pop up museum will be devoted to memorabilia and landmarks of Grundy Center.

One immediate goal of the Grundy Center Historical Society is preserving the physical condi-tion of the Herbert Quick School House, said Mary Doak, president of the board. That task should be completed soon.

Other goals include finding a permanent facility for a museum, communicating the mission of the Society to the community, fund-raising and seeking grants, creating a website, and recruiting a team of volunteers.

“Our mission is simply to gath-er and tell great stories of the peo-ple over the years who have called Grundy Center their home town,” Doak said. “These are people who lived all or part of their lives in the

50638 zip code or the Grundy Cen-ter Community Schools district.”

She said stories don’t have to be long, just memorable to the person or family and relationship to Grun-dy Center.

“Obituaries and sports box scores record the facts about a person’s life or an athletic event,” Doak explained. “As a historical society we want facts, of course. But what we really want to gath-er and tell are the stories similar to those told at a funeral visitation or by fans for years after a game. These are the stories that give Grundy Center a unique and rich sense of place.”

Among the goals of the Society is one big one that sounds almost impossible: To get one story from every family that has ever called Grundy Center home.

“That is definitely a stretch goal,” Doak admitted. “But our definition of family includes any-

one related to the first members of the family to come to Grundy Center. Some people here are part of a fifth or sixth generation fami-ly at Grundy Center. Others might be in a family that just connected to our community for the first time this year. They, too, have a story to tell.”

Doak said the Society wants to make it easy for people to tell their story. You can write it or electron-ically record it yourself or have someone you know do that for you. Or you can let the Society know you would like to tell your story. A representative of the Society will contact you to set a time to sit down with you and record your story.

Doak invites everyone who is around town for Felix Grundy Fes-tival to stop by the pop up museum, enjoy some stories and memorabil-ia from Grundy Center’s past, and learn more about the new Grundy Center Historical Society.

The 8 a.m. shotgun start of the Biersner golf outing saw some hot play with low scoring.

Thirty-eight two person teams played 18 holes of golf under sunny skies and wet ground. The 2 inches of rain early Sunday morning didn't stop Zach Nicholson and Byron Fritch from turning in the low card with a score of 62 with Dan Schmitz and Carson Parker right on their heels with a second place finish of 63, third place shot a 67. These score were in the open division and in the mixed division the score of 68 took top honors for team Nikki Weissenfluh and Rob Weissen-

fluh. Second place in the mixed di-vision went to Tim and Juli Kopriva with a 60 and Wendy and Martin Ca-marata took third with a 70.

Tournaments have prizes for lon-gest putts longest drives and on the par three holes closest to the pin. Long putt Dena Blough, long drive Nikki Weissenfluh, closest to the pin Nikki Weissenfluh and Emily Daws. long putt men, Jim Martin Long drive Doug Morgan, closest to the pin Brad Blough and Rob Heerkes.

This was the first year for the Dol-lars for Scholars to run the event with all the same excitement as years past

when Bob Biersner was at the reigns. The fund raising event will give sever-al golf scholarships as well as money to Dollars for Scholars. Members of the 2016 and 2015 golf teams provid-ed assistance on hole number 6. Royce Weber, Bo Weissenfluh, Ashley Dum-ler and Abby Camarata . A donation from a tournament player let the kids take their shot.

A fun day, no hole in one on hole 13 and another successful Dollars for Scholars Biersner Memorial Golf Event.

Flag Burning ceremony heldScouts from Dike Troop #108 held the flag burning at the Dike City park. The original plan was to hold the burning on Flag Day but rain and wind cause the event to be canceled. On Tuesday evening Troop leader Wayne Welzien met with assistant vice commander of the Legion Bob North, and assistant Vern Berry for the flag burning cere-mony. Troop members learned the proper way to dispose of used and damaged flags. Pictured: left to right Scout leader Wayne Welzien, Tyler Vandenberg, Dakota Hoeppner, Jacob Thompson, Mitchell Modlin, Dylan Messer-schmidt, and Bob North.

About townI refuse to think that I am the only

person in town that finds something to write about to share with the com-munity. No it is not really exciting but I bet you are all reading and wondering what I will say about our family this week. Surprise! Nothing. Not sharing until someone else can make news fun to read.

If you have an event to share but just don't know how to put it into words, I can help. Try calling so I can share your news story. I know others have birthday parties, go on vacations or have friends visit from near or far . Simple stories for read-ing pleasure.

Sample: Drop in visitors at the back swing of Bob and Pat Biersner were Ann Siems, Diane Paige and Suzan Bienfang. Of couse not, we did not all sit on the same swing.

Sample: After making a deliv-ery run to north of New Hartford, Suzan and I found ourselves on the road close to the Meinard and Bon-ny Koop resident. You just can't not stop and smell the flowers. Thanks for the garden and quilt viewing on our drop in visit.

Motion carried.MINUTES: Motion by Feldpausch, second by Kopsa to approve the minutes of the May 6, 2016 and May 16, 2016 board meetings. All ayes. Motion carried.NURSE REPORT: Gloria Dielschneider gave a year-end nurse report. Out of 602 students at BCLUW there are 361 students with identi-fied health concerns compared to 194 in 2005. Along with the student health needs that Gloria handles daily, staff are trained on AED loca-tion and use and there is a MERTS (Medical Emergency Response Team) in each building. MERTS receive annual and on-going training regarding emergency procedures and potential emergency needs of students in their building. Gloria also implemented medication admin-istration procedures and provided training for med aides. Food Service are instructed on specific food allergies and dietary modifica-tions in our district. Staff is instructed on health interventions on IHPs or emergency plans for students in their classes each semester. Gloria was in BCLUW’s 3 buildings 60% of the time and was in Grundy Center CSD 40% of the time and retired the end of this school year. DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TEAM PRESENTA-TION: The key actions of the District Leader-ship Team is to be a liaison between the Board and the teachers, to listen, research and select initiatives, evaluate progress, model strategies, and develop in-services. Mr. Parker showed graphs of student proficiency. In 4th grade the students did not meet their goal in reading and science, but the goal was met in math. The reading goal was set at 80% proficient and the actual performance was 70.5%. In math the goal was set at 80% and the actual per-formance was 81.5%. In science the goal was set at 93.5% proficient and we had 93.2% of our students proficient. In middle school the 6th grade students were proficient and met the goal set in reading and science but not in math. The reading goal was set at 75% proficient and the actual performance was 84%. The math goal was set at 83% proficient and the actual performance was 79% proficient. The goal that was set for science was 80% proficient and ac-tual performance was 81% proficient. In 11th grade the students did not meet the goals set in reading and science but did meet the goal in math. The student goal was 94% but actual performance was 76% proficient in reading.

The actual performance level was 22% of the students were in that quartile so the goal was not met. The District Leadership Team and the Board agree that we need to stay aggressive in working towards meeting and exceeding the goals. The 2016-2017 goals will be reviewed again at the July board meeting and approved at the August meeting. COACHING REQUEST: Donna Fiscus spoke to the board, asking for an assistant coach due to the number of cross-country numbers. She has both jr. high and high school students and in the fall of 2015 it was 31 athletes.

POSITIVE SHARING: Elementary School Prin-cipal Mitch Parker shared the elementary held a well-attended family reading day in which students ate breakfast and read with their parents. The students also showcased their student leader job boards and learned about the summer library reading programs. Several students were awarded the Presidential Aca-demic Award. The awards are based on high Iowa Assessment scores and classroom perfor-mance. Mr. Parker also shared the 4th grade had an awesome field trip to Pine Lake where students canoed, hiked, fished and learned about different types of plant and animal life in and around the lake. On May 26th when the students were left without power, the students and staff did a phenomenal job making a po-tential negative into a great day. The elementa-ry volunteered to pick up the softball complex, school grounds and at various homes in the neighborhood. High School Principal Kristyn Kell shared 50 seniors graduated including two 5th year seniors. The ceremony went really well with 5 senior speakers. A “Funday” with an Amazing Race activity and blizzards was held for a fun send-off for the seniors. Mrs. Kell also commented that she saw so much great teach-ing – with teachers trying to help all students be successful and pass their courses. Most of the failures this semester were due to attendance and student choices, not from teachers not try-ing to help and doing what they could to help students pass. Each teacher worked hard keep-ing students focused and helping them achieve their greatest potential in their classes. Middle School Principal Dirk Borgman shared in Mrs. Penicks’s 8th grade computer class; students produced videos on the 7 Habits to the other students. Multiple skills had to be integrated into the project. The students had to write the script, communicate verbally, and then video and edit the project and they did a great job. Teachers did a great job encouraging students to get their reading counts goal. The entire 5th & 6th grade made their goals and the other grades had very few that didn’t. Mr. Borgman also shared the language arts teachers had been working on writing this spring and the final product was a persuasive paper. The students did a great job not only persuading you on the topic but also having a very polished project.

UNIFIED MASCOT DISCUSSION AND PO-TENTIAL ACTION ITEM: Mr. Petty went to all 5 post offices and posted information about hav-ing a unified mascot throughout all of BCLUW. There were 266 responses to the survey that was on line regarding the possible mascot change. 87% of the people that completed the survey were in favor of having one mascot, a Comet, as the school mascot. 9% of those completing the survey were in favor of keeping things as they are now with Comets in grades K-4 and 9-12 and Cobras in grades 5-8. 4% of those that completed the survey offered other options. Motion by Callaway, second by Kop-sa to unify the mascot to be BCLUW Comets, K-12.

By Kevin WilliamsGrundy County Conservation Direc-

torThe past few summer evenings

might have been a little uncomfortable to sit out enjoy the show but the light-ning bugs have been out in great force.

Lightning bugs are not true bugs but instead are beetles. Another com-mon name for the same critter is fire-fly. But that name is not correct either because they are not flies. I can under-stand how “lightning fly” might not catch on and the name firefly was per-haps more appealing to folks. I don’t understand how lightning bug would stick for a name rather than lightning beetle though. They sound about the same to me.

What did you grow up calling them? Bert Vaux, a linguistics profes-sor at the University of Cambridge, asked 10,000 Americans around the country that question and others re-lating to regional dialects. If you use “firefly” and “lightning bug” inter-changeably, you’re in good company. Across the United States, 39.8 percent of respondents report using both terms. But 30.4 percent say “firefly” exclu-sively and 29.1 percent say “lightning bug.” Is lightning bug a mid-western

thing? I don’t know.Whatever you call them, they are a

specific family called the Lampyridae. There are 124 species of fireflies in the United States and Canada, mostly in the East and South. Like all beetles, the fireflies have a complete life cycle consisting of four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult.

The adults we see now live for one to two weeks. They may feed on nectar and pollen or other insects, but most of the time is spent in the process of reproduction. The flashing lights are an integral part of the process. The lights help the males and females of the different species find and recog-nize each other.

After mating, the adult females lay their eggs in moist places such as in tall grass and under mulch and leaf litter. The eggs hatch yet this summer and the larvae live until next summer when they complete the transforma-tion to the adult stage.

Lightning bug larvae are found in moist areas such as under the loose bark of dead trees, under mulch and debris and within moist, loose soil. The elongate, worm–like larvae have six legs and are usually brown. The full-grown length is about 3/4 inch.

The larvae are predacious and feed on small insects, worms, snails and slugs.

Lightning bug larvae and adults produce light by an interesting reaction of chemicals and enzymes. The light produced is a “cold” light. That is, the chemical reaction produces nearly all light and very little heat. In contrast, the incandescent light bulb produces only 10% light and the remaining 90% of the energy goes to heat.

The females locate a site near the ground on some sort of vegetation and let the males come to them. The light flashing is regulated according to a ge-netically fixed pattern and is used by the adults for courtship. Each species has a distinctive pattern of flashes, varying in flash number, duration, in-terval between flashes, motion accom-plished during the flash, height of the flash above ground and so forth. The males and females recognize their own species’ flash and get together as a result of the illumination.

So the next time you stop to ob-serve a bean field alive with the flashing of hundreds of thousands lit-tle lights, remember, there’s a lot of communication happening out there. Males sorting out females and species sorting out species.

A lot going on out there

I’m sure many of you are wonder-ing what Main Street Grundy Center has been working on since its incep-tion in September of 2015. The prov-en Main Street approach to economic development through historic preser-vation takes time to develop and we’ve been working hard to establish a strong foundation for our program. Because Main Street programs are based on a volunteer driven approach, Main Street Grundy Center has been focused on building our base of volunteers while at the same time, providing resources to the city, and to the business and build-ing owners in our district. Here is an overview of what our four committees have been working on:

DESIGNDesign is one of the four point ap-

proaches to Main Street Grundy Cen-ter. This committee plays a key role in shaping the physical image of Main Street as a place attractive to shoppers, business owners, investors and visi-tors. The design committee is staffed with volunteers to look long and hard at our Main Street and work in partner-ship with the program manager and in one-on-one relationships with property owners, business owners, city staff, and elected officials. We’ve been working on basic, simple activities, which will lead to a more sophisticated under-standing of the revitalization process and help members of the community develop skills to tackle more complex problems and ambitious projects. Over the course of the last several months the design committee partnered with the economic vitality committee and com-pleted a building/business inventory of all the properties in our Main Street district. The design committee was re-cently awarded with a $1,500 donation from the Festival of Trees event to help us with implementing a new design for a small-scale streetscape project. With the new streetlights and banners that help set a new look for downtown, we have used the proceeds to purchase new planters. With the help of the in-dustrial technology students, we’ve

used our existing benches and had them repainted. We will be looking into grant opportunities to secure more funding to be able to purchase new trash recepta-cles and more durable benches that will coordinate with our planters and new street lights to give a cohesive and in-viting look to our downtown. The de-sign committee also organized a clean-up event, Wine and Shine. that was held on May 26. We have plans in place to host another downtown clean up this fall. Main Street Grundy Center also re-cently hosted a meeting with the Iowa Economic Development Authority and Main Street Iowa to present valuable information about the Downtown Re-vitalization Program to city staff and elected officials.

ECONOMIC VITALITYThe Economic Vitality Committee

spent the first two quarters of the year working on making contact with down-town business owners and completing business surveys which will help iden-tify business owners’ needs and how MSGC can help. Additionally, we or-ganized and marketed our first annual Open 4 Business competition and have been working with the winning appli-cant, Dave Stefl, to polish and practice his application and presentation. Dave competed at the sub state competition on June 16 and we’re waiting to find out if he will advance to the state level of competition. Our third quarter will be primarily devoted to learning about and helping to implement a Market Analysis for all of Grundy Center. The Market Analysis process will begin on August 25 and we’re looking for com-munity volunteers to assist us with the project.

PROMOTIONSThe Promotions Committee has

been working to put together the Main Street Alumni Event to be held during the Felix Grundy Festival. This event includes a special showing of the Award-Winning Main Street Video Entry and a chance to hear a brief pre-sentation about the purpose of the Main Street program and how it will benefit

our community.ORGANIZATIONThe organization committee portion

of Main Street Grundy Center is one of many diverse rolls. The organization committee works on issues such as office space, policy statements, volun-teer recruitment and even fundraising. As such, we wear many different hats. Since finding office space within the community center a couple months ago, our function on a daily basis has slowed for the moment. Our main task right now is supporting our Executive Director and building our volunteer base so that when a project does arise, we are ready to mobilize ASAP.

One of the most important things to remember is that our Main Street pro-gram is incremental and it starts with baby steps. We have hosted monthly Small Business Development Center consultation meetings in Grundy Cen-ter and we are working at providing many more resources to help strength-en local businesses. We hope you have enjoyed some of our small success such as the new planters and seating arrangements in our downtown and our historical display in the window of the True Value Building. In our short time, over $256,000 of private investment has been made in the redevelopment of our downtown buildings and we have logged over 1,200 volunteer hours by our program. That equates to roughly $29,000 of labor invested to making our community a better place to live.

As you can see, we are working hard to make a difference and we would love to have you share in our successes by becoming a Main Street Grundy Center volunteer. We encourage you to visit other Main Street Iowa communities (there are 52 of them across the state) and notice the changes they are creating in their communities. What are your hopes and dreams for Grundy Center and how can you help make it happen? Let us know…we would love to hear from you!

Main Street Minute

DES MOINES — The Iowa De-partment of Public Safety (DPS) and the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Manage-ment, along with Gov. Terry Brans-tad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds are urging Iowans to pay attention to and report suspicious activity in the wake of recent violent acts in the U.S. and abroad.

The “See Something, Say Some-thing” campaign was the focus of Gov. Branstad’s weekly press con-ference today, which is an initiative of the U.S. Department of Home-land Security. DPS and HSEMD announced a new statewide initia-tive by their departments to increase public awareness of the See Some-thing, Say Something campaign. Be-ginning in late June, public service messages will be aired on radio sta-tions throughout Iowa.

The DPS wants Iowans to know what is meant by suspicious activity. It’s not based on personal character-istics like race, ethnicity or religion, but rather on out-of-the-ordinary behavior that suggests there may be something criminal occurring.

It is difficult to predict human be-havior, but it can be helpful to rec-ognize that the commission of any criminal act requires some planning and preliminary steps. Watching for preliminary actions can give good sense of what may come next. Most crimes don’t just happen in the spur of the moment. Most offenders take some preliminary steps – surveil-lance of the area, acquiring weapons or clothing, doing test runs, identi-

fying potential victims or opportune times.

When we use the term “suspi-cious activity,” we are talking about the things that we would expect to be done in preparing to commit the crime.

Some things always cause some concern: When you see or hear about explosives, that is inherently danger-ous and should be reported; If you see or hear about plans to poison wa-ter or air, that is inherently danger-ous and should be reported; When someone describes how to shoot dozens of people – report it.

Some things may not be inher-ently dangerous, but raise some concerns: When you see a vehicle parked in an odd location, or a pack-age or luggage that is unattended – report it; When you encounter see someone who watches a building re-peatedly, or for a long time, with no indications of meeting someone or conducting business there – report it.

People know what is typical or normal in their surroundings. When activity looks out of the ordinary, people should pay attention and re-port their observations to the police.

Sometimes threats are made ex-plicitly, and sometimes they are im-plied.

Keep in mind that not everyone who makes a threat actually poses a threat.

The more detail they provide, es-pecially if it indicates that they have done some preliminary preparation, the greater the threat they actually pose.

What should you report? Police need to know specific details: who

what, where, when, why, and how.

Give specific descriptions if you can: license plate numbers, descrip-tions of vehicles, physical charac-teristics, distinguishing personal characteristics or clothing, detailed descriptions of the suspicious be-havior, statements made or questions asked, location of the encounter, or the possible target.

If you think that a family mem-ber or a friend may pose a threat, say something. You know them best. You know what is unusual and what causes you concern. You can see changes in their behavior. You know when they are posing a threat. The police need to know about that, too.

Who should you call?Call 911, or if there is an officer

nearby, talk with them in person. Lo-cal law enforcement officials know their community the best. Those lo-cal agencies can contact state or fed-eral officials with the information.

The See Something, Say Some-thing campaign was developed sev-eral years ago by the New York City Transportation Authority. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security launched the campaign na-tionwide and has partnered with all levels of government and the private sector with a focus on increasing awareness of terrorism and reporting suspicious activity to law enforce-ment.

See something, say something in wake of recent tragedies

FAMILY FEATURES

Firing up the grill is an American tradition. The farm families who produce the food so many people enjoy at backyard cookouts want to share some of their favorite

grilling recipes, as well as an appreciation for how food gets from the farm to the table. Farmers like Amanda Folkens, from Iowa, Danell Kalcevic, from Colorado, and Nicole Small, from Kansas, have joined with more than 70 other farmer volunteers across the coun-try in the CommonGround program as a way to talk with

home cooks about how food is grown and raised. “On our farm, animal care is top priority, as it is for thou-sands of other family farms in the U.S.” said Amanda. “By keeping our animals indoors, we make sure they are protect-ed from predators, disease and bad weather.” To learn more about family farms and facts about your food, visit www.FindOurCommonGround.com. Here are some of Amanda, Danell and Nicole’s favorite grilling recipes.

softball team won six of its seven contests last week and kept pace with AGWSR atop the NICL West, as both teams are currently 9-1 in conference play.

BCLUW 9, West Marshall 0The Comets kicked off the week

last Monday with a 9-0 thumping of West Marshall in State Center. BCLUW took a 3-0 first inning lead and then added six more runs in the final three frames en route to the easy win.

First baseman Jordyn Beeghly led the offense with a perfect 4-for-4 performance and three RBIs, and second baseman Samantha Ubben was 2-for-5 with an RBI. Easton Swanson (1-for-4, two RBIs), Nicole Lutes (2-for-4, run scored), Olivia Hughes (2-for-4 with an RBI) and Leah Yantis (3-for-4) were also top contributors for the Comets.

On the mound, Olivia Callaway cont inued her s te l lar senior campaign with another win, going the distance and allowing six hits, no runs and a walk while striking out nine batters.

Yantis drove in four runs despite recording just one hit in the contest, and Beeghly finished 2-for-5 with three RBIs. Callaway went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs at the plate and also picked up the win on the mound, tossing four innings and allowing two hits, three runs (one earned) and one walk while striking out six batters.

BCLUW 9, Grundy Center 0The Comets took on a familiar

foe in Grundy Center on the road Thursday night, pulling away late in a 9-0 win.

BCLUW used small ball in the second inning to plate its first two runs as Kate Goecke bunted in Swanson, and Kaylee Goecke scored Jorie Oaks on an RBI groundout. Then, with two outs, Callaway launched a two-run shot down the left field line, her third on the season, to make the score 4-0.

“Early in the ballgame, we hit the ball right at them,” Coach Dave Lee said. “We got going with Liv’s home run, and that put some points on the board… other than that, I think we just bode our time and kept hitting the ball and getting people on base.

From there, the Comets coasted as the Spartans were unable to get anything going offensively against Callaway and Ubben, who finished with a combined no-hitter and struck out 10 batters in all.

T h e t e a m t r a v e l e d t o Marshalltown over the weekend for the Bobcat Classic, and BCLUW got off to a great start with a hard fought 2-1 win over Class 5A Des Moines Roosevelt on Friday.

Both teams went scoreless for the first seven innings before heading to extras, and Callaway cranked a two-run double in the top of the eighth that scored Hughes and Kierstin Kruse. Callaway did allow one run in the bottom of the inning on a Nani Hill RBI double, but she held off the Roughrider rally and secured the victory for the Comets. In the win, she allowed five hits and one run over eight innings of work, striking out nine batters. R H EBCLUW 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 2 0DMR 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 5 0W- CallawayL- Hill

After allowing a run in the first, Ubben settled in and pitched shutout ball for the remainder of the contest, and the offense helped her out with three runs in the top of the second. Swanson went 1-for-3 with a pair of RBIs, and Beeghly and

Ubben each drove in a run apiece. Callaway also doubled and scored twice for BCLUW. R H EBCLUW 0 3 0 0 1 0 0 4 5 0Marion 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0W- UbbenL- Steepleton

At the end of the week, BCLUW’s overall record sat at 23-8 and 9-1 in conference play. The Comets had a crucial matchup with AGWSR on Monday night in Conrad that would for all intents and purposes decide the NICL West champion, followed by a road trip to Dike on Tuesday and a home date with South Hardin on Thursday to wrap up the regular season.

“We have to keep focused and understand that every pitch is a pitch we need to do something with,” Lee said about his team’s keys to success as they enter the home stretch. “I think the kids are doing a good job of that.”

ACKLEY — AGWSR rallied from an early 4-0 deficit to top Grundy Center 15-5 last Monday on its way to a doubleheader sweep in Ackley. The Cougars (8-9 overall, 6-7 NICL West) trailed the Spartans 4-0 through three and one-half innings before tying the score in the fourth and erupting for nine runs in the fifth inning to take control. AGWSR carried the momentum

of its game-one win into the night-cap, scoring a run in the first and three in the second inning on its way to a 6-1 victory. The Cougars saw their three-game winning streak snapped against East Marshall Thursday with a 5-2 loss. The Mustangs scored two first-in-ning runs and never trailed.

Cougars sweep Grundy Center

By ROB MAHARRYThe Grundy Register

BEAMAN- Despite a pair of tough losses on the road against conference leader West Marshall last week, BCLUW baseball coach Matt Zoske was happy with the way his team played, and the Comets bounced back with a big road win over Grundy Center on Thursday night.

West Marshall 7-4, BCLUW 3-3

In the first game of last Monday night’s doubleheader in State Center, the Comets fell behind 4-1 after three innings and were unable to bridge the gap late in the contest. Offensively, sophomore Brad Barkema led the way as he hit 2-for-4 with an RBI, and Troy Dolphin batted in a run and went 1-for-3.

Barkema took the loss on the mound, going three innings and allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and three walks while striking out one batter. Austin Willett pitched the final three innings and allowed three runs on four hits. R H EBCLUW 0 0 1 0 2 0 0 3 6 xWM 2 1 1 2 0 1 0 7 8 x

In the nightcap, the Comets led early, but the Trojans broke a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the fifth and ended up securing a 4-3 win. Junior Caleb Engle led the Comets with a double and two runs batted in, and junior Ian Showers finished 2-for-4.

“We battled them really close and really well, and hopefully it’s a habit now,” Zoske said.

Dolphin took the loss on the mound after tossing four innings and allowing four runs on two hits and five walks. Logan Mann pitched the final two innings and held West Marshall scoreless. The Trojans improved to 16-8 overall and 9-2 in conference play. R H EBCLUW 0 2 0 0 2 0 1 3 5 xWM 1 0 1 0 2 0 0 4 2 xW- RandallL- Dolphin

BCLUW 6, Grundy Center 1Thanks to a four-run seventh

inning, the Comets pulled away late and got a momentum-building 6-1 win over Grundy Center on the road Thursday night. Willett hit a crucial two-out RBI single to right field in the second inning, and the Comets jumped ahead 2-0 early.

G r u n d y C e n t e r ’s A u s t i n Burroughs scored the lone Spartan run in the third inning on a Clay Silver error, and neither team scored again until the final frame. It was then that Showers got the scoring party started with an RBI single, and Barkema followed it up with a two run double. Dolphin added an RBI groundout to all but seal the win for the Comets.

Senior Josh Sharp pitched a complete game to pick up the win, allowing five hits and one unearned run over seven innings of work. He struck out just two batters, but according to Zoske, his control was the key.

“Josh pitched really well, threw a lot of strikes and didn’t give them a lot of solid contact,” he said. “He moves the ball around really well, locates really well and changes speeds really well.” R H EBCLUW 0 2 0 0 0 0 4 6 4 xGC 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 5 xW- SharpL- Buhrow

The Comets are now 9-10 overall and 6-7 in the NICL West on the season, currently tied with AGWSR for fourth place in the conference.

GRUNDY CENTER- According to the information available, the Grundy Center baseball team went 1-3 over the last week, dropping a doubleheader to AGWSR on Monday and a contest with BCLUW Thursday before bouncing back with a win on Friday against Sumner-Fredericksburg.

AGWSR 15-6, Grundy Center 5-1

A nine-run fifth inning propelled AGWSR past the Spartans last Monday night in Ackley during the front half of a doubleheader. Freshman Matthew Sternhagen drove in three runs, and Austin Grimm went 3-for-4 with an RBI to lead the offense.

Grant Weldon took the loss on the mound, going 5 2/3 innings and allowing 11 runs on 11 hits and

four walks while striking out four. R H EGC 2 0 0 2 0 1 0 5 10 xAGWSR 0 0 0 4 9 2 0 15 13 xW- N/AL- Weldon

In the nightcap, the Cougars jumped out to an early 4-0 lead and never surrendered it as they won 6-1. The Spartans managed just three hits, but one of them was a solo home run from senior Austin Burroughs in the sixth inning. Grimm and Austin Knaack added a single apiece.

Burroughs took the loss on the mound, tossing six innings and allowing seven hits and six runs. He struck out five batters. R H EGC 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 3 xAGWSR 1 3 0 2 0 0 0 6 7 xW- N/A
