Supervisors
approve budget
amendments
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER — A pair
of budget amendments highlighted
the agenda of a brief Grundy County
Board of Supervisors meeting
Monday.
The Board passed resolutions
for amendments to the County’s
general budget as well as one for the
Secondary Roads budget. Both were
routine, with no public comment.
County Engineer Gary Mauer
also presented Supervisors with
job descriptions for each of his
employees. He said the descriptions
were put together, and each employee
signed off on the description, due to
worker’s compensation reasons. He
said the descriptions are patterned
after those used in Hardin County.
Conservation Board Director
Kevin Williams reported that
the Board has voted to pay off a
loan from Black Hawk Economic
Development that was used for the
campground at Grundy County
Lake. Deters noted that a budget
amendment would be needed for the
Conservation Board to complete the
transaction.
“You have the authority to spend
the money, but not for that activity
item,” she told Williams.
He quickly apologized for the
error and said he would contact
those who hold the loan and make
them aware that payoff would be
later than initially expected.
Williams also reported that
the Conservation Board approved
treating the gravel road to the
campground for dust control.
In other business the Board:
• Accepted the resignation of
Leona Rhodes from the Landfill
Commission and replacing her with
Jim Severance;
• Approved a representation letter
to the State Auditor and authorized
chairman Harlyn Riekena to sign it.;
•
Approved
the
Iowa
Governmental Health Care Plan
Fully Insured Trust Renewal Options
rate sheet and authorized Riekena to
sign it;
• Approved a utility permit for
Alliant Energy to install new threephase power lines to Morrison.

ReVoiced passes on the
secrets of making music
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER — Grundy
Center High School music students
had a rare chance to learn from professionals Monday. Members of the
band “ReVoiced” visited with students from the GCHS boys’ ensemble and Madrigal Singers during the
school day, prior to their concert that
evening.
Band member Dele Opeifa said
the band members have been working with choirs not only to teach
them how to make music, but also to
make music a lifelong passion.
“We work with the choirs and students to try to inspire them to make
music a part of their life and to keep
it a part of their life forever,” he
said. “We want to let them know that
there’s value in having music in your
life whether it’s a hobby or whether
you pursue it as a career.
The band members taught the students how breathing affects everything they do as they make music.
“With the choir students we really help them with their breathing
technique, with any type of blending
and really with any part of the spectrum of different techniques to make
an ensemble sound better since
that’s what we do, we sing in an ensemble,” Opeifa said. “It’s the same
thing that their teachers are telling
them. But to hear it from someone
on the outside, from someone who’s
close to their age doing this for a living, sometimes that’s all they need.
After working with the students
at the high school, the band hosted a
short assembly at Grundy Center Elementary, sharing a few interactive
songs with the students and inviting
them to the evening concert.
Unique about ReVoiced is that
the group sings completely a cappella. During no point in either Monday
afternoon or the evening concert was
any type of accompaniment used.
“A cappella’s a really unique
challenge because unlike singing
with an instument to accompany
you, there’s no way to reference a
pitch throughout a song,” Opeifa
said. “It’s a fun challenge because
you don’t get to rely on an instrument that’s physically set in a place.
So staying in tune and really locking
in ... there’s a beauty to it that you
can’t get with instruments.”
The ReVoiced Grundy Center
stop was part of a five-stop Iowa
swing on their Midwest tour. They
played in LaPorte City Saturday and
were scheduled to play in Spencer
Tuesday.
Grundy Center was one of eight statewide host of Live Healthy Iowa
5K run/walks Saturday. One hundred runners took to the streets for
the 5K while 35 younger runners ran a 1K around the Grundy Center
High School track. Pictured, top, is Beaman’s Dexter Whitehill while,

GRUNDY CENTER — Take a
look at the smiles in the resident activity area and you’ll know that it’s
a special afternoon at the local care
center.
It’s visit day for golden retriever
and therapy dog Jack, who wears
holiday-themed costumes for his
monthly visit at Grundy County Memorial Hospital Long Term Care.
A love for dogs and the people he
helps care for at the Long Term Care
unit inspired nurse Brian Swartz to
train his Golden Retriever for regular visits to the nursing home. Jack,
who is five or six years old, was
adopted by Swartz two years ago,
and the experienced dog owner recognized that the dog’s temperament
was perfect for the care center setting.
“Jack’s demeanor is ideal for
visiting the residents of Long Term
Care,” said Swartz, who averages
one visit per month with his pet. “He
is calm and relaxed and loves the attention he receives from the people
he visits.”
Care center residents can opt to
interact with Jack in a group activity,
or one-on-one if a private visit with
the pet is desired.
“Jack has his head on someone’s
lap in no time,” Swartz said.
The inspiration for dressing Jack
in various costumes for his visits
originated with retired teacher Janey
Swartz, who is Brian’s mom. She
enjoys finding the right accessories
for the dog to depict holidays and
special occasions, from Christmas,
to Easter to St. Patrick’s Day.
“The costumes took a little adapting, but now Jack loves the attention
they bring,” Swartz said.
The joy the visits bring to residents serves as motivation for
Swartz, who lives in Marshalltown,
to bring Jack to the Long Term Care
unit regularly when he’s not working
on the unit.
“My dogs bring me a lot of joy,
and it’s great to be able to share that
with the residents here,” Swartz said.
“There’s something naturally therapeutic about the company of a dog,
and everyone deserves the chance to
experience it.”
Jack’s next visit to Long Term
Care is on the afternoon of April 22
for a special activity.

Many of you may be confused by
the term Thunder Chicken, but the
fans of the hunting world may have
heard Michael Wadell refer to the wild
turkey as the Thunder Chicken. I like
to refer to the wild turkey as the king
of the spring, strutting around being
the vocal leaders of the hardwoods.
Their loud vocalizations can be related to the thunder that wakes up the
sky during a thunderstorm. That vocalization is known as the gobble, and
to a turkey hunter that sound breeds
excitement. As Iowa’s wild turkey
season starts this week, it reminded
me about the great recovery that the
wild turkey went through to once
again have a sustainable population.
The wild turkey is one of the success stories of the United States and
Iowa. When settlers landed at Plymouth Rock the turkey populations were
in the millions nationwide. These
large birds provided the settlers with
a great table and market food. Like
most of the native species the turkey
population was unable to withstand
the year round harvesting of both sexes. Also the constant changing of the
habitat for agricultural purposes drove
the turkey populations to dangerous
levels. By 1920’s the eastern wild
turkey population was estimated to be
around 250,000 for the whole United
States. Occupying only 12% of their
former range, and only 8 states still
had a hunting season.
In the early 20th century most
states formed conservation agencies
which began the reversal of many of
the trends that led to the demise of
the turkey populations. Providing
protection and developing ways to reestablish populations for species that
were slipping from existence was the
leading focus of the different wildlife
agencies throughout the early 20th
century.
Not all of their efforts were successful, like in pheasants they attempted to release pen raised birds into the
wild, but once again they achieved
zero success. The pen raised birds
lacked all instincts to survive in the
wild. In spite of spending millions of
dollars over several decades, no freeranging populations were produced.
It wasn’t till the development of the
rocket net trap that the agencies had a
feasible way to capture wild birds and
transplant them to unpopulated areas.
Another factor in the recovery of the
wild turkey population was the increase in habitat. Limiting grazing on
federal and state lands, along with the
purchase of more state managed lands
aided in success we see today. By the
1980’s the population had increased
to 1.8 million birds in 47 states, and
today the population is estimated at
around 7 million birds occupying every state except Alaska.
In Iowa, trapped birds from Missouri, as well as Iowa’s Shimek and
Stevens State Forests resulted in
transplanting wild turkeys to 86 different counties between 1965 and
2001. The funding for this program
was through revenues from the sale
of hunting and fishing licenses, and
the excise tax that is placed on the
sale of arms and ammunition. The
National Wild Turkey Federation also
aided Iowa in the restoration efforts.
Through these efforts many of us can
enjoy either hunting or just witnessing the king of the spring strutting in
an open field or a gobbler spitting and
drumming just a few yards away on a
calm spring morning.
A Look back through
The Grundy Register
From The
Cheap Seats
Mother Nature teased us with a dose of spring last week. It was enough
to get the most homebound of us outside in the sun, and enough to get those
of us who enjoy the fresh air of spring as much as I do excited.
Over the weekend I began thinking
about the garden, as I often do at this
time of year. The past two years I’ve
put basically the same things in there
— some tomatoes, peppers, squash
and even the giant sunflowers that
make such a mess at the Community
Garden.
Saturday after working at the 5K,
I sat down and played in the dirt for
a couple of hours, cleaning up last
year’s mess. As I was clearing the
plots (just enough for the weeds to
take root), I started thinking about
what to plant this year. The tomatoes
have done well the past two years
— so well that I’ve had far more
tomatoes than I need or want, so I’ll
By JOHN JENSEN
be cutting those back to one, maybe
two plants this year. I’m probably giving up on the squash after having lousy
results, but might go a little more for green beans, which were one of my
favorite vegetables when they came straight out of Mom and Dad’s garden
when I was growing up.
As I looked at seed beds the next day, I started wondering what my hairbrained experiment should be. I thought about trying popcorn, but corn
doesn’t tend to grow well in an environment like that. I considered pumpkins
(what would I do with them) and watermelons (who really eats watermelon
more than a couple of times a summer) before something caught my eye.
Strawberries.
Strawberries go completely against my idea of keeping the garden neat
this year, but they work right into my hopes of growing healthy foods that
I would enjoy eating as snacks. I’ve read a little about growing them, and
it sounds like its a little more complex than, say, growing tomatoes, but
if done correctly, it sounds like the plants I bought for less than $5 could
produce fruit for two or three years.
I’ll let you know how they turn out. If it goes well I might have enough
to share!

Spirit Lake
Murder
They made their way to the Raebels resort while the Raebels were in town run-
By SUE ECKHOFF
Grundy County Heritage Museum
Phillip and William Heincy, father and son, were the only father and son executed together in the history of the State of Iowa. This is their story.
On the morning of December 15, 1944, the train stopped in the quiet resort
town of Spirit Lake. It stopped just long enough to allow two shabbily dressed
men to step off. They carried no luggage, and were strangers to the town. They
hung around the station a bit, then wandered the streets, ending up in a bar where
they had a beer and shot a game of pool. When it began to get dark, the pair
headed west out of town. Their destination, five miles away, was a small secluded house on a bluff above Lake West Okoboji.
On December 16, the local talk of the day centered on the gruesome scene
at Raebel’s Resort, where owner Rob Raebel had sustained a mortal gunshot
wound, and his wife, Esther was badly beaten. The Raebels owned and operated
a small resort of 17 cottages. The operation was very primitive, but its cliental
were loyal. The summer before, Henry Heincy and a female companion cleaned
cabins for the Raebels. The pay was $100 a month, plus use of a cottage. Henry
started off on the wrong foot when he answered the help wanted ad and gave
the owners the impression he was bringing his spouse along. The relationship
lasted only a month. Henry wasn’t “employee of the month” material, but he
was bright enough to get a sense of the resorts finances. His dad, Phillip didn’t
read or write. Henry brought his 72 year old father with him on his winter return
to Iowa.
Returning to Iowa, Henry and Phillip had with them a billy club and a gun.

due to special printing needs. Look for it in your paper early next month.
The visitor guide is the most ambitious new project we’ve taken on since
I have worked in Grundy Center. Aside from the annual county fair section,
it’s the largest special project we’ll likely do.
This is a section that I take a lot of pride in because it’s something that
Clint and I have talked about for a couple of years. At first we wondered if
it could even work in Grundy County, which isn’t exactly flush with tourist
attractions. That’s why we focused as much on the community side of things
as the other.
I must admit that, as I worked on the section, I discovered parts of
Grundy County that I didn’t know were there. I had never been back to the
Black Hawk Creek Wildlife Area and was immediately struck by the bridge
that County Conservation has across the creek. The park’s listing mentions
the bridge, but I guess I never realized how cool the bridge was. It seems
like this would be a great place to wait with the camera for wildlife. I also
learned a lot about each of the communities in the county, including their
history.
The biggest challenge of this section for me was the design. Going into
the project, I was under the assumption that I would be overseeing one of
our designers’ work on it. That didn’t work out the way I expected, which
proved to be a good thing (at least for me) because it meant I got to envision
the section from scratch.
I have always believed that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so
I spent hours scouring other guides to glean ideas that we could use in our
own section. Our sister publications in Butler County have done a tourism
guide for years, as has our sister paper in Calhoun County. Both of these
guides proved invaluable as I came up with ideas for our section.
If we’re going to argue in our office about any part of a section, it’s going
to be the cover. Because it’s the first thing you see, we all want that page
to have the right look. This is one of the areas where Internet resources
proved to be extremely valuable. I was able to simply search for visitor
guide covers on Google and came up with hundreds of examples. Clint,
Lisa and I picked one or two that we really liked ... and then I did something
completely different.
Even though I went a different direction than what we looked at, the time
spent researching was worth it because I now knew that I needed a stunning
picture to create the cover I wanted.
One problem ... I didn’t think I had the right picture. I scoured photo
archives that I have kept for years, not finding the photo I wanted. The photo
couldn’t be of a specific town and it couldn’t be of a specific event. Ideally
it would be a place that might or might not even be identifiable.
Eventually I found the photo I wanted, ironically among some photos I
had taken specifically for the guide. With the photo chosen I started playing
on the computer a little and quickly had a design that, with a little tweaking
here and there (and some heavy Photoshop work on an old, weather-worn
sign), became something we liked.
Thanks first to our partner in this project, Angie Holloway at the Grundy
County Development Alliance. Angie and I met several times to determine
the vision of the project, and she helped immensely with getting information
from the communities and schools. Thanks also to our advertisers who made
this section possible. You guys rock! And thanks, finally, to everyone who
contributed to this section — Lisa, Angie, Diane, Rob, Steph — our team is
awesome!
ning errands. When a car pulled up and lights went on in the Raebel cottage, the
Heincy’s moved to the cottage next door. Rob left to stoke the coals in the furnace, allowing Phillip and Henry time to make their move. The Heincy’s came
through the door and shot Rob without warning. He struggled to get to Esther,
who handed the Heincy’s her billfold, along with Rob’s, and the keys to their car,
but the Heincy’s struck Rob and Esther repeatedly with the club, finally leaving
with the Raebel’s car. They spent the night in Storm Lake, caught a train to Fort
Dodge, to Des Moines, and then back to Quincy, Illinois.
Esther recovered enough to identify her attackers, and the manhunt began.
Rob died from his injuries. The hotel stay and the stolen car guided the investigators as their manhunt began throughout the area. They were arrested within
three weeks of the time they committed the crime, in Quincy, Illinois where
Henry had gotten a job at a shoe factory. His dad lived with him in a boarding
house. They were arrested and brought back to Iowa. They spent less than half
an hour with their attorney who asked them if they did it. They said “yes”, and
he said “plead guilty”. That play did nothing to lighten the sentence for the
Heincy’s. After a four day sentencing hearing a judge in Dickinson County put
them on death row at Fort Madison. They were executed in the gallows there
on March 29, 1946. Executions back then were carried out in no less than 12
months, nor more than 15 months, no appeals.
At the age of 72, Phillip had the distinction of being the oldest person ever
executed in Iowa, and the Heincy’s have the distinction of being the only father/
son to be executed.

Well, we received a copy of this old postcard and some information on it that someone wanted to share.
Some residents in Madison, Illinois were cleaning and found this among other items dated from about the time
of 1911-1916. The postcard picture says at the bottom ‘Hauling Potatoes, Grundy Cener, IA.’
From what I can read it says’ Dear Father: I am having a fine time. Will be home next Monday sometime if the
train isn’t delayed. Will leave here Sun. 10p.m. and arrive at Union Station 3 p.m. Monday. As Ever, Ida’ It looks
like it was addressed to Mr. Henry Weitkampe, Venice, Illinois.
The postcard location is back behind the current Heartland Coop building off 6th Street. The building is still
standing... it’s along where the railroad used to come through town.

Center Theatre’s Reel-to-Reel
Beginning at the Center Theatre
on Friday, April 18 at 7 p.m. will be
the drama/adventure Noah, starring
Russell Crowe, Anthony Hopkins,
Emma Watson, Logan Lerman and
Julianne Moore. This movie is rated
PG-13 for violence, running approximately 135 minutes in length. At
7:30 will be the faith/drama God’s
Not Dead, starring Shane Harper,
Kevin Sorbo and Dean Cain. This
movie is rated PG, running approximately 115 minutes in length. There
will be 2 pm weekend matinees of
both shows on Saturday, April 19.
Paramount Pictures’ Noah tells
a story that is very well known.
God is saddened at the wickedness
of mankind and sends a great flood
to destroy all life on Earth, but instructs Noah, a man "righteous in
his generation," to build a wooden
ark and save a remnant of life from
the Flood. Noah builds the ark and
saves his family and representatives
of all animals from the massive flood
waters which cover the Earth. Noah
tells a compelling story, but goes
pretty far off the Sunday School flannel board to tell this version. While
many believers criticize Director
Darren Aronofsky for taking so many
liberties with the Biblical account,
Jim Daly, President of Focus on the
Family, had this to say: “Director
Darren Aronofsky is not a theologian, nor does he claim to be. He is
a filmmaker and a storyteller and in
Noah, he has told a compelling story.
The film expresses biblical themes of
good and evil; sin and redemption;
justice and mercy. It is a creative interpretation of the scriptural account
that allows us to imagine the deep
struggles Noah may have wrestled
with as he answered God's call on his
life. This cinematic vision of Noah's
story gives Christians a great opportunity to engage our culture with the
Biblical Noah and to have conversations with friends and family about
matters of eternal significance.”
The film is praised for portraying a
Noah that has a deep love and obedience to God, teaching his sons what
he believes the Creator would have
him teach. Noah’s wife is faithful to
God as well and loves her husband
through all of the craziness. Noah
was a man called by God to complete
a task and, faithfully, that is exactly
what Noah did.
In God’s Not Dead, College
freshman and devout Christian Josh
Wheaton (Shane Harper) has his
faith challenged on his first day of
philosophy class by dogmatic Professor Radisson. Radisson begins
class by informing students that they
will need to disavow, in writing, the
existence of God on that first day or
face a failing grade. As other students in the class begin scribbling
the words "God Is Dead" on pieces
of paper, Josh find himself at a crossroads, having to choose between his
faith and his future. Josh offers a nervous refusal, provoking an irate reaction from his smug professor. Radisson assigns him a daunting task: to
prove God's existence by presenting
well-researched, intellectual arguments and evidence over the course
of the semester and engage Radisson
in a head-to-head debate in front of
the class. If Josh fails to convince
his classmates of God's existence,
he will fail the course, hindering
his academic goals. With almost no
one in his corner, Josh wonders if he
can really fight for what he believes.
Can he actually prove the existence
of God? Would it just be easier just
to write "God Is Dead" and put the
whole incident behind him? God’s
Not Dead is a faith based drama that
opened a few weeks ago as one of the
top movies in the nation at the box
office. Don’t miss this exceptional
film this week at the Center Theatre!

Northey comments on Iowa Crops and Weather report
DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary
of Agriculture Bill Northey today
commented on the Iowa Crops and
Weather report released by the USDA
National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly
from April through October.
“The rains that much of the state
saw this weekend were generally welcomed as it is still early. The northwest corner did miss much of the
rain and remain in need of moisture.
If it warms up and fields dry, farmers will be ready to start planting,”
Northey said. “It is great to see cover
crops, which were planted on a record
number of acres last fall, greening up
again this spring.”
The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s
website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov
or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.
gov/ia. The report summary follows
here:
CROP REPORT
Above average temperatures in
Iowa allowed over 20 percent of the
State’s expected oat acreage to be
planted during the week ending April
13, according to the USDA, National
Agricultural Statistics Service. Precipitation fell towards the end of the
week as rain turned to snow overnight
Sunday. Statewide there were 3.9
days suitable for fieldwork. Activities
for the week included applying fertilizer and anhydrous, tiling, terrace
construction, and spring tillage.
Recent precipitation helped improve soil moisture levels. Topsoil
moisture levels rated 6 percent very
short, 25 percent short, 57 percent ad-
equate and 12 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 17 percent
very short, 38 percent short, 43 percent adequate and 2 percent surplus.
Twenty-nine percent of oats have
been planted, 10 percent ahead of last
year but 22 percent behind average.
The East Central and South Central
districts have over 50 percent of their
oat acreage planted. A few farmers reported oats starting to emerge. There
were also scattered reports of corn being planted, mostly in southern Iowa.
Pasture condition rated 13 percent very poor, 26 percent poor, 43
percent fair, 18 percent good and 0
percent excellent. Most pastures were
still slow to emerge, but rains late in
the week helped return some green to
the area. Calving conditions were reported as good.
Persuasion
Aristotle claimed that there were three
basic ways we can persuade others:
logic, emotion and character. Often we
want to know the reason why we should
do something. A physician who explains how a medicine will benefit her
patient is appealing to logic. And when
she tells him the terrible consequences
which are likely to result if he doesn’t
treat his condition, she is appealing to
emotion, in this case, fear. And by convincing her patient that she really is a
kind and compassionate physician who
has her patient’s best interest in mind
she is appealing to character. We are all
more likely to listen to someone who we
believe to be a genuinely good person.
A fourth means of persuasion that can
be effective, and which must be combined with character or moral persuasion, is the rule of seven touches. Sales
and marketing folks know that they are
more likely to make a sale after repeated
contacts, and the rule of seven touches
says to not give up on a potential sale
until afteryou’ve had seven contacts.
Familiarity, while admittedly sometimes
breeding contempt, can also breed trust,
at least when we are becoming familiar with someone who is friendly and
seems genuinely interested in us. So if
you want to persuade someone, combine your logical, emotional and moral
arguments with a genuine interest in the
other person, and make frequent contact
with them.
-Christopher Simon
With patience a ruler may be persuaded,
and a soft tongue will break a bone.
Proverbs 25:15

Happy Birthday
A party was held for the two 8 year old babies belonging to Cathy Jansen.
The birthday kitties, Harley and Sis, entertained family members on Saturday afternoon. Guests arrived from Minnesota and surrounding towns.
The weather cooperated and the party meal was served outside and in
the garage. Take a look at the dessert made special for the birthday of two
beautiful cats.
Baked in the litter pan and served with the sifter scoop guests enjoyed
the cake crumbled in the pan and topped with little brown tootsie rolls. Yes I
know what it looks like but it really was delicious and not eaten by the cats.
For the receipe ask Cathy.
The Masters
It was a weekend to watch golf.
The Masters played Saturday and
Sunday and we enjoyed the view of
a beautiful golf course. The players
that did not make the cut to continue
play at first left me feeling disappointed. I enjoy watching Phil M,
Zach J, Tiger W, D Johnson and
other big name non qualifiers. Then
I decided that it will be fun to watch
a 20 year old and other new comers
handle the pressure of a large televised event . New faces with great
talent all looking to become a household name. Will we see Bubba Watson hold the lead and win the Masters?
Fox Ridge Golf held an event that
gave those who signed in a player of
the Masters. My player that made the
cut was Brandt Snedeker . He has
not been on the leader board but it
was fun to follow and watch to see
what local player was teamed with
the winner of the Masters. And yes
our winner will receive the Green
Vest.
Saturday was a great day for
golf in Dike but the Sunday 4 person event had to be cancelled due to
weather conditions. Now those 60
plus players can enjoy watching The
Masters.

Dike City Council
briefs on new city
Web page
By DIANE PAIGE
Dike Correspondent
DIKE — Mayor Mike Soppe
called the April 9 council meeting to
order at 7 p.m.
Council members and visitors
were introduced to four UNI students that have been working with
Councilmen Luke Osterhaus on creating a new web page for the City Of
Dike. The site will be user friendly
and provide informative city information.
Soppe informed the members that
the soccer fields, which had been
owned by Dennis Kruger have been
sold to a developer from Waterloo.
The use of the soccer field is uncertain and a soccer parent, Lance Loger, addressed the council requesting
suggestions of other sites that might
meet the needs for soccer practices
and games. The council will look
for suitable sites and keep Loger informed of the possibilities.
City garbage collection was up
for discussion. Several new styles
of collection were tossed out to the
council.The council will do some
comparison shopping and hash over
the trash collection.
A zoning request was approved,
as was the use of the city swimming
pool on Watermelon Day.

Target donates to Dike Elementary
DIKE — On March 14, Dike
Elementary held its annual Read-In
and celebration of Dr. Seuss's birthday. The whole school was involved
in special activities that promoted
the joy of reading. This year's ReadIn was made extra special by Target
Corporation, as several volunteers in
red shirts from Target’s Cedar Falls
Food Distribution Center came to
school and read to the students and
involved them in a Seuss activity.
They also presented Principal Tom
Textor and Media Specialist Vickye
Thompson a check for $500 to be
used to purchase books in the media
center.
Jessica Eilbert from Target led the
group of volunteers for the day. Nick
Cleveland, who also helped out, said
they were happy to volunteer.
“We try to make an impact in the
communities around us and literacy
is an important part of Target’s corporate giving initiative,“ he said.
The group has been involved in a
variety of volunteer projects including fire safety, fingerprinting, and
painting the New Hartford school
gym last year.

4-H omelet breakfast is huge success
Grundy Community Preschool, Childcare students learn about hibernation
The kids and staff at Grundy Community Preschool & Childcare finished up their unit about hibernation by
coming to childcare in their pajamas and bringing a stuffed animal that hibernates. The kids had a great time
learning about all the animals and celebrating spring coming. (Courtesy photo)
Congratulations to our 4-H members and families on a record breaking event. We served 1275 guests at
the annual 4-H Omelet Breakfast on
Sunday, March 30.
If you were to ask us which
came first the chicken or the egg?
We would respond with “It doesn’t
matter to us when you have the support of people from all over Grundy
County and beyond!” It takes…many
hours to prepare, a great committee,
a lot of supplies and donations, many
volunteers, and you.
Proceeds from the event make a
significant impact on 4-H, our youth
& families. Funds are used during
the year to help support youth program thru scholarships, enrollment
fee support, record keeping awards,
4-H camps, State 4-H Conference,
Washington Focus Trips and more.
The funds also allow Youth Committee to help make decisions on various activities like workshops or fun
nights that are hosted throughout the
year. In October 2013 we were able
to use the funds to support a free enrollment incentive to over 153 youth
in Grundy County. Enrollment is
$30 for our 4th -12th grade members.
Youth Committee will be making
plans on a variety of activities they
would like to host for the 2014-2015
4-H year and want to invite all Grundy County youth to check out what
4-H can offer you!
After doing a little research we
discovered that the Grundy County
4-H Omelet Breakfast was started in
1994 with an idea from the Iowa Egg
Council and our 4-H Youth Committee. It was held at the Grundy Center Community Center. They served
585 people and made $2,000 profit.
Amanda & Alaina Akkerman won
the top presale ticket award by selling
$150 worth of tickets. In 1994 they
started with only four omelet cooks
and now we use twenty. Thank you
for helping make our 20th year of the
Grundy County 4-H Omelet Breakfast a record breaking year!
4-H Members and families sold
tickets in advance and have earned
incentives like a rubberband bracelet,
tickets to the center theatre, 6-inch
subs from subway, a 4-H bag and Fair
Tshirts based on the number of tickets they sold. Incentives also included a drawing for two 4-6 graders to
attend Junior 4-H camp; Winners are
: Paige Strohbehn & Brooke Liston,
Two digital Canon cameras; Winners
are: Bryce Greiner & Clayton Van
Loh, and a GoPro camera won by the
Sawyer Family.
The Omelet Committee included
Shelly Luiken, Karen Benson, Robin
VanDeest, Jacque Osgood, Jodi Dinsdale, Sarah Pakala, Kyle & Stacie
Dudden. The committee worked
hard to put on a great event!
The Grundy County 4-H Omelet
Breakfast is sponsored by the Grundy
County 4-H Youth Committee and
numerous sponsors and donors all
over the County. It is with the help
and support of the community that the
4-H Program in Grundy County can
be such a great organization for our
youth! We were also able to support
the Fair Awards Committee in raising funds for the trophies and awards
that are handed out at the Grundy
County Fair and the Fair Board with
their Tshirt sales. Fair Awards & Trophy committee raised $1005.02. Fair
Board sold 53 T-shirts and invite anyone who is still interested in a shirt to
stop by the Extension Office to pick
up an order form.
The Omelet Committee that consisted of Shelly Luiken, Karen Benson, Robin VanDeest, Jacque Osgood, Jodi Dinsdale, Sarah Pakala,
Kyle and Stacie Dudden and the
Youth Committee and County 4-H
Council worked hard to put on a great
event.
We appreciate everyone who attended the Annual Grundy County
4-H Omelet Breakfast Sunday, March
30 and help support the 4-H program,
Fair Awards Committee and Fair
Board. We invite you to visit us at
the Grundy County Fair July 23 -27.
There is so much to celebrate in 4-H
this year. Help us as we rediscover
the Grundy County Fair.

Fourth graders challenge you to become part of Feinstein Challenge
GRUNDY CENTER — Alan
Shawn Feinstein, the founder of the
Feinstein Foundation, is a nationally
known humanitarian. For the 17th
year in a row, he is offering a $1
million challenge grant to help food
banks around the country. Every dollar and every pound contributed to
food banks from March 1 until April
30 will count towards his challenge.
The million dollars will be divided
proportionately among all participating agencies.
During the month of February
the fourth-graders at Grundy Center
Elementary combined math with a
community service project. During this time they were learning
about ounces and pounds. They also
worked together to bring in food to
be donated to Operation Threshold
in April, to participate in the Feinstein Challenge. Together the three
classrooms collected 596.3 pounds
of food or supplies which people in
the community can use.
On April 3, the Spartan Senators
loaded up the food to take down
to Operation Threshold. Bailey,
Soren, and Cole volunteered their
time to help Mr. Rottink deliver the
food. They helped weigh the boxes,
and returned back to report to their
classes. They want to challenge you
to join them in their fight against
hunger. Any donations made toward
this campaign make you a partner in
the most successful ongoing effort to
fight hunger.
Written by Cole Lehr, Bailey Newton, Brayden Sawyer, Lainy Thoren,

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken
down into nine 3x3 boxes. To
solve a sudoku, the numbers
1 through 9 must fill each

number can appear only once
in each row, column and box.
You can figure out the order
in which the numbers will
appear by using the numeric
clues already provided in the
boxes. The more numbers
you name, the easier it gets to

D-NH boys’ track shows
strength on the road
By PATTI RUST
Sports Correspondent
WAVERLY – The Dike-New
Hartford boys’ track team traveled to
Waverly on Friday where they came
away with a fourth place team finish
among a field of eight teams while
earning eight top three finishes in the
events. Carson Parker claimed first
place in the high jump with a jump
of 6-3, and Ben Cuvelier took the
title in the 110-meter hurdle event
with a time of 15.01. Three Wolverine relay teams, the 4 x 400, 4 x 800,
and shuttle hurdle crossed the finish
first. John Crew was runner-up in
the long jump with a jump of 20-1
¼. The 4 x 200 and distance medley
relays ran to a third place finish.
At the Marshalltown Pentangular
on Tuesday the Wolverines competed against several large schools
including Cedar Falls, Charles City,
Marshalltown, and Waverly-Shell
Rock. The Wolverines finished on
top in three events, Ben Cuvelier
in the 110-meter hurdles, the 4 x
400-meter relay, and the shuttle hurdle relay. Taking second place were
Carson Parker in both the high jump
and the 110-meter hurdles, and John
Crew in the 1,600-meter run. Wolverines landing in the third spot included Crew in the long jump, Cuvelier in the 200-meter dash, Gabe
Eiklenborg in the 800-meter run, and
the 4 x 200 and 4 x 800 relays.
The Wolverines were scheduled
to compete at the Jesup Invitational
on Tuesday, April 15, and at Cedar
Falls on Thursday, April 17.

battled it out at Lion’s Field. The
score stood 0-0 at the halfway mark,
but the Lions managed to score on a
Kaye Faber shot just over 12 minutes
in to the second half. Faber’s goal
would be the only one of the game,
as Clear Lake took the win 1-0.
“Clear Lake retained many of the
players from their 10-4 team from
last season, including their two leading scorers,” Coach Goetsch said. “I
thought the defense did a good job of
shutting down both players. Morgan
Eilers and Katie Cole did a great job
sticking with their marks and both
played a fantastic game. I thought
Peyton Ralston and Lindy Clark also
played their positions in defense
well. Kym Lind had a decent game
as goalkeeper, making eight saves on
the night.”
“Stephanie Faust did a nice job
of creating opportunities in the midfield and Amanda Taylor did a nice
job of hustling the entire game,” he
said. “Up front Madison Beenken,
Jen Rust, Harper Wells, and Dayln
Maxson all recorded shots.”
“For the first game of the season
I was not disappointed in our performance,” Goetsch said. “In the end,
it was a close game and probably
could have went either way. I don’t
think we were out classed, and I do
believe that this a team we can beat.
I am lucky to coach a great bunch of
girls and I am confident that we can
fix our mistakes.”
Hudson 3, APGC 2
Harper Wells led the APGC offense with two goals against Hudson
on Tuesday, scoring the first goal of
the game just six minutes in. Down
2-1 with less than 10 minutes remaining, Wells came through for the
Falcons again, landing a game-tying
ball in the net with just 7:40 left on

the clock. With the score 2-2 at the
end of regulation, the game went
into two 10 minute overtime periods
with no additional score, setting up
the penalty kick showdown to decide
the game. The APGC players missed
their first three attempts, while Hudson found net on all of theirs, ending the game in a 3-2 Pirate victory.
“I thought we started the
game well and finished both overtimes strong,” Coach Goetsch said.
“Unfortunately, when it came to the
penalty kicks we failed to produce.”
“Kym Lind had another decent
performance making 11 saves on
the night,” he said. “Morgan Eilers,
Peyton Ralston, Katie Cole, and
Lindy Clark played hard in defense.
Stephanie Faust played with intensity the entire game and proved to a
real workhorse throughout the game.
I am proud of her hard work and I
appreciate her efforts and her style
of play during the entire match.”
“Britney VanSickle and Amanda
Taylor did a nice job in the midfield
and took shots on goal,” he said. “Up
front Harper Wells placed two goals
in the back of the net and Madison
Beenken, Jen Rust, Dylan Maxson,
Nicole Sharp, and Kyla Sill all took
shots during the game.”
“Loses like these are always difficult,” Coach Goetsch said. “It is
early in the season and it is a good
sign that we are competitive with
our competition. This week we will
focus on fixing and improving some
areas, which will make a difference in the outcome of these close
games.” This week APGC was scheduled
to face two highly ranked Class 1A
teams, 10th-ranked Denver at home
on Tuesday, April 15, and 5th-ranked
Columbus in Waterloo on Thursday,
April 17.

Lippert sets AGWSR 3,000-meter
mark at South Hardin Invitational
By PATTI RUST
Sports Correspondent
ELDORA – Despite a growing
gap between herself and the rest of
the pack, AGWSR freshman Bethany Lippert battled within, pushing
hard the entire 3,000-meter race at
the South Hardin United Suppliers
Invitational Friday night. The result
was not only a win, but new school
record with a time of 11:40.05.
“We expect her to keep bringing
that down even more as the season
progresses,” AGWSR coach Laurie
Gann said.
Lippert also placed second in the
1,500-meter run. The Cougar 4 x 800
meter relay team of Abbie Young,
Maddie Brandt, Paola Cordova, and
Jessica Lippert fourth, and Taylor
Risius ran to fourth in the 3,200-meter run. In the field events, AGWSR
earned fourth place finishes from
Rachel Frazier in the shot put and
Madison Fryslie in the long jump.
“(I am) pleased with our first
track meet of the year,” Coach Gann
said. “The girls competed hard and
had good results.” Dike-New Hartford’s Brooke
Morgan claimed first place in the
high jump with a jump of five feet
three inches. The Wolverine shuttle
hurdle relay team of Anna Poyner,
Haleigh Durnin, Emily Fobian, and
Claire Folkerts also took first. Finishing second were Jurane Lizer in
the 400-meter dash and the distance
medley team of Olivia Eiklenborg,
Bailey Fettkether, Josie Hill, and
Kadi Wright. Third place finishes
for the Wolverines included Wright
in the 800-meter run, Anna Poyner
in both the 100-meter and 400-meter
hurdles, the 4 x 200-meter relay of
Eiklenborg, Fettkether, Fobian, and
Hill, the 4 x 400 team of Wright,
Lizer, Sadie Eden, and Poyner, and
the sprint medley of Haleigh Durnin,
Fettkether, Eiklenborg, and Hill.
“During our two meets this week
we saw at least 30 personal bests
for the season,” Dike-New Hartford coach Diane Harms said. “We
are competing on the track and getting stronger each time we run. It is
a very encouraging start to the sea-
son.”
Hannah Stumberg of Grundy
Center took the 400-meter dash
title, as did the Spartan 4 x 400-meter relay team of Kayla Mathews,
Piper Johanns, Katie Lindeman and
Stumberg. The 4 x 800 relay team of
Stumberg, Lindeman, Mathews, and
Johanns ran to second place, and Tiana Saak went third in the 3,200-meter run.
“I was very pleased with the way
our team performed in Eldora on
Friday night,” Grundy Center coach
Todd Rohler said. “All of our times
were faster than they were in Conrad
the week before, and we are starting
to get some girls healthy from illness
and injuries.”
“The competition was really excellent in Eldora, and I’m happy
with the way my team responded,”
Rohler said. “If we can keep on improving as the season goes along,
then we will be in good shape when
it is time to qualify for state and
compete at the conference meet.”
Host South Hardin won the team
title with 124 points. Dike-New
Hartford landed in the fourth spot,
AGWSR went sixth, and Grundy
Center ninth.

As the golf season gets underway,
Coach Brad Hames sees a mixture
of veterans and youth on this year’s
AGWSR boys’ golf team.
Returnees Owen Abkes, who
placed sixth at the conference meet
last year, as well as Kody Boheman,
Carson Lutterman, and Derek Schipper, will lead the Cougar team in
2014.
In addition, Tanner Reents, Tate
Hofmeister, Jay Janssen, Jay Jaspers, Tyler Rose, Jacob Schachterle,
and Dalton Schipper will all battle
for varsity spots this season, according to Hames.
This year Coach Hames is looking for more consistency from the
Cougar boys as they begin their
2014 campaign.
“Our expectations are to challenge for a conference title and be
playing our best golf at the end of the
season,” he said. “Consistency will
be the key. We have the ability to
shoot low scores, but haven’t shown
that we can do it day in and day out.”
This week the Cougars were
scheduled to host North Butler at
home on Tuesday, April 15, and
South Tama on Thursday, April 17.
Inexperienced
Cougar girls’ golf
seeks continuous
improvement
By PATTI RUST
Sports Correspondent
With just one senior, two letter
winners, and five team members total this season, Coach Dan Bergeson
and the AGWSR girls’ golf team is a
little on the inexperienced side.
“Brooke Harrenstein is my only
senior and will be a good role model
and leader for the younger kids,”
Bergeson said. “Ashley Sicard is the
other letter winner from last year,
and I expect her to play well this
spring. She has a great attitude for
the game of golf.”
“Kenzie Huisman, Kim Ventura
and Madison Dieters are all juniors
from last years’ JV team,” he said.
“All three have shown great improvement from last year already.”
Bergeson’s goals for the Cougar
team this season are the same as for
every team he has coached, that is,
to try to get better every week and be
playing their best golf come conference and tournament time.
“With only having five players
we won’t have the luxury of having
bad nights,” Bergeson said. “Everyone will need to play their best each
and every night. That will be hard to
do, but we will give it our best shot.”
The AGWSR girls will host
South Tama at Ackley on Thursday,
April 17.

East Marshall.
Bangasser, the lone senior in the

“It’s always nice to get off to a
positive start,” Spartan coach Dennis
Dirks said. “After losing a couple of
practice days due to our prolonged
winter, individually we made some
mistakes yet our team score was respectable.
“If this group can learn from its
mistakes and make the needed improvements throughout the spring,
they’ll be exactly where we need to
be come tournament time.”

Experienced core returns for D-NH girls’ golf
By PATTI RUST
Sports Correspondent
The 2014 season holds a lot of
promise for Coach Mike Soppe
and the Dike-New Hartford girls’
golf team. The 2013 Class 2A state
runners-up return a solid core from
last year, and Soppe expects their
experience and depth to carry them
through yet another successful run
in 2014.
“Our goals are definitely
high,” he said. “There is a lot of
great golf in this area and we want to
be in the mix.”
“What’s great about our girls’
team the last couple of years is that
all six girls can score for us on any
given night,” Soppe said. “We have
eight girls out and I look for all of
them to make an impact. They are
a fantastic group to be around that I
have enjoyed every second of, and I
wouldn’t want to coach anywhere
else.”
Seniors returning to the roster this
season include Maddie Brummond,
Abby Camarata, and Ashley Dumler.
Other returning letter winners are
Bri Weber and Nikki Weissenfluh.
“Ashley and Bri both finished
in the top five in the state last year,
so we are definitely looking up to
them,” Coach Soppe said. “They are
both great athletes who have had a
lot of success in not just golf but volleyball and basketball as well. Their
work ethic and drive are really second to none.” Soppe adds that some of the newer members of the team are expected
to play a role this season.
“Newcomers are sophomores
Brynn Harberts, Katelyn Souska
and freshman Katie Camarata, who
I believe will all be in the hunt for a
varsity spot,” he said.
This week the Wolverines were
scheduled to play at BLCUW on
Tuesday, April 14, and at Denver on
Thursday, April 17.

Spartan boys’ tennis lineup shaping up for new season
By PATTI RUST
Sports Correspondent
Grundy Center tennis coach John
Baade will coach both the boys’ and
the girls’ team again this year, and
both rosters include some returning
experience plus newcomers likely to
make an impact this season. For the
boys, this means a new number one
player.
“The boys will have the addition
of freshman Drew Sharp who will
be playing at number one to start the
season,” Baade said. “Last year’s
number one, senior Ethan Hogle,
will be moving to number two, and
senior Dalton Haverkamp should fit
in at four or five,” he said. “Returning junior Andrew Day looks like a
number three,” he said.
The team also returns two sophomores to the court, Jared Clapp and
Jarrett Stoner. New to the Spartan
tennis program are sophomores Austin Grimm and Blake Henningson,
and freshman Jack Stanley.
“The early part of the season will
shake out our final line-ups,” Baade
said. With the season under full swing,
the Spartans were looking forward
to a jam-packed schedule with four
meets in seven days, starting on
Thursday, April 17 at Webster City.
They will travel to Union on Monday, April 21, South Tama on Tuesday, April 22, and Dike-New Hartford on Wednesday, April 23.

Meinders takes title at Pirate Relays
HUDSON — AGWSR junior
Clay Meinders picked up right where
he left off last season in the shot put,
capturing the Cougars’ only event
title at the Pirate Relays in Hudson.
Meinders, who placed second in
the shot at the Class 1A state track
meet a year ago, threw more than six

Spartan girls’ tennis opens new chapter
By PATTI RUST
Sports Correspondent
After coaching boys’ tennis at
Grundy Center for several years,
Coach John Baade took on the additional responsibility of leading
the girls’ team in 2013. With a year
at the helm under his belt, Baade
is looking for more from the Lady
Spartans this season.
“Our strengths are yet to be determined,” he said. “We have five
returning letter winners from a team
that didn’t have any meet wins last
year, but this we are looking for a
different story.” “The girls are going to get some
help this season from Switzerland
in the person Jelena Jaggi, who will
more than likely end up our number
one,” he said.
Sophomore Sydney Hogle returns from last season and will probably be back at the number two spot,
according to Baade, and seniors
Gabby Haman and Abby Taylor will
be in the mix for the third through
the sixth spots.
“Juniors Michelle McIntire, Melanie Homeister, Esther Edgerton,
Liz Ash, freshman Meghan Saak,
and tenth grader Piper Johanns, who
is dual sporting with track, look like
contenders to play,” he said.
In their second week of action
the Spartan girls will play at Webster City on Thursday, April 17, followed by road meets at South Tama
on Tuesday, April 22 and Dike-New
Hartford on Thursday, April 24.

D-NH boys’ golf may hold element of surprise
By PATTI RUST
Sports Correspondent
Head coach Mike Soppe describes this year’s Dike-New Hartford boys’ golf team as “sneaky”.
“I think we have a good chance
to sneak up and compete with some
really good teams this year,” Soppe
said.
Returning seniors on this year’s
squad include Drew Aalderks, Alex
Anderson, Dalton Feckers, and Byron Fritch. Other returning letter
winners are juniors Dalton Mulgrew
and Zach Nicholsen.
“Byron and Zach have been our
number one and two for a couple
years now,” Soppe said. “We will
really look to them for leadership. They are both incredibly great
students, great golfers and great
kids who I really enjoy coaching.”
In addition to the returning veterans,
Soppe expects some newcomers to
compete for a place in the varsity
lineup.
“Royce Weber is a freshman
who I think will play a major role
for us,” he said. “Trevor Dumler and McClain Williams are two
other freshman who will contribute and battle for a varsity spot.”
The primary goal the Wolverines
will be shooting for this season is
to finish in the top three of the conference, and Soppe sees the performance of the younger players as key
to making that happen. “I believe it is one of the hardest conferences in the state,” he
said. “We need some young players
to step up early this year.”
This week the Wolverines were
scheduled to tee off at BCLUW on
Tuesday, April 15, and at Denver on
Thursday, April 17.

Other Cougar place winners included Dylan Heetland sixth in the

Spartan relay teams find
success at home meet
By PATTI RUST
Sports Correspondent
GRUNDY CENTER – The
Grundy Center boys’ relay teams
enjoyed a successful run at their
own Spartan Invite last Thursday
night, winning two relays and finishing second in three others. The
Spartan 4 x 200-meter relay team of
Jordan Graham, Bryce Flater, Bryce
Moats, and Jordan Clapp, and the 4
x 800 team of Finn Cleveland, Espen Cleveland, Gideon Danbauchi,
and Dylan Hendricks both took first,
while the 4 x 100, distance medley,
and shuttle hurdle teams finished
in the runner-up spot. Grundy Center’s 4 x 400 team went fourth, and
a second 4 x 100 group placed sixth.
Top individual performances by the
Spartans included Jordan Stoner’s
second place finish in the 110-meter hurdles, Espen Cleveland’s third
place in the 800-meter run, Bryce
Flater’s third place leap in the long
jump, and Bryce Moats’ fourth place
finish in the 100-meter dash.
“Three of the athletes in the 4 x
800 are first time high school competitors this year, so I was pleased
to see them perform well,” Grundy
Center coach Chris Henely said.
“Our 4 x 200 also ran a very strong
race.”
“It’s early in the season, but I’m
optimistic and excited for the rest of
the season,” Henely said. “With this
being our first full meet, we showed
a lot of promise and potential.”
Gladbrook-Reinbeck, competing with a limited lineup due to the
Rebel soccer team playing Thursday
night as well, had a pair of first place
showings in individual events. Zach
Pierce won the shot put with a throw
of 45 feet 11 inches, and Eric Stoakes
clocked a 57 second 400-meter hurdle run to earn the top spot. Runnersup for the Rebels included Wyatt
Swanson in the 400-meter dash and
Tyler Bovy in the 3,200-meter run.
Pierce went third in the discus, as
did the Rebel 4 x 100-meter relay of
Jeff Tscherter, Jake Schuman, Shye
Johnston, and Stoakes. Going fourth
were Swanson in the 800-meter run
and the Rebel 4 x 200-meter relay.
“The Rebels had a good week
on the track,” Gladbrook-Reinbeck
coach Andy McQuillen said. “There
was a great deal of improvement in
running times, and the continued
growth in the field events is a positive sign.”
“There is plenty of work to do in
this young season,” McQuillen said,
“but the addition of some young runners that have stepped up and made a
difference in relays early in the season has been a big plus.”
South Tama won the team title
with 168 points, while Grundy Center went fourth with 93 points and
Gladbrook-Reinbeck finished fifth
with 84 points.
This week both Grundy Center
and Gladbrook-Reinbeck were to
compete at the Jesup Invitational on
Tuesday, April 15 and the Hudson
Invitational on Thursday, April 17.

GRUNDY CENTER — Just
months removed from a cancer diagnosis, Grundy Center High School
senior Hilary Samo showed that her
battle left no rust on her golf game.
Samo grabbed medalist honors
Friday as the Class 1A defending
state champion Spartans opened
with a 189-241 victory over East
Marshall at the Town and Country
Golf Club. Samo, one of five returnees from last year’s state title team,
carded a 42, finishing one shot ahead
of teammate Lindsay Freeman in the
medalist race.
Maddy Grineski shot 47 for the
Spartans while Reagan Derrick shot
the final contributing score, a 57,
from the No. 6 spot in the lineup.
Scratched scores included a 60 from
Kate Ross and a 65 from Sarah
Hockemeyer. GC played without junior Josie McMartin, its low scorer
last year, who will miss the first few
meets of the season while recovering
from a knee injury.
McKenzie Fahrni led East Marshall with a 53.
Spartan coach Rich Schubach
said his team’s score exceeded his
expectations.
I was very pleased with the performance for first meet,” he said.
“Hillary and Lindsay were sensa-
tional and Maddy, too. These three
have experience and we will need
them being very consistent and
solid until Josie comes back. I was
pleased, to say the least, by Reagan,
Kate and Sarah. Kate has improved
greatly and has become such an
improved ball striker, she will be a
factor for us as we look for depth.
Reagan’s 57 was simply sensational.
Our freshman are so raw ... but have
outstanding potential because of
their strength.”
The Spartans’ Monday meet
against South Hardin was postponed
due to snow on the course and was
scheduled to be played Tuesday.
They are at the Marshalltown Invitational Thursday at the West Marshall
Invitational next Tuesday. Grundy
Center’s only remaining home meet
is May 2.

APGC soccer gets first season win over South Tama
By PATTI RUST
Sports Correspondent
APLINGTON – The AplingtonParkersburg/Grundy Center girls’
soccer team picked up their first win,
a 6-0 shutout of South Tama, in a
busy first week of play. Earlier in the
week APGC fell to rival Clear Lake
0-1 on the road, and lost a heartbreaking double overtime game to
Hudson in a best of five shootout.
APGC 6, South Tama 0
Four different APGC players
scored goals in the 6-0 win over
South Tama Thursday. Harper Wells
led the way with the first hat trick
of the season, finding the net three
different times for the home team.
Also putting shots in the goal were
Stephanie Faust, Amanda Taylor,
and Brittany VanSickle. Madison
Beenken, Dalyn Maxson, Jen Rust,
and Haleigh Steding all had shots
on goal. Peyton Ralston, Katie Cole,
Morgan Eilers, and Lindy Clark
held strong on defense, allowing the
Trojans just one shot on goal, and
helping goalkeeper Kym Lind earn
her first shutout of the season. Also
helping secure the win were Nicole
Sharp, Kyla Sill, Madison Kuester,
Hope Clinton, Cara Kammeyer, and
Kayleigh Walker.
“It was good to get our first win
as team,” AGPC head coach Cory
Goetsch said. “In the first half, I

thought that we came out flat and our
pace of game was too slow. In spite
of the slow pace we did not give up
any goals and we did score several.
In my opinion, the first half lacked
the intensity needed to put big points
on the board.”
“In the second half we played
with more intensity and the intensity
showed on the scoreboard,” he said.
“I felt watching the second half was
like watching a completely different team. I was proud of the way the

Grundy Center did not win a set
against Waverly-Shell Rock.
“We didn’t really contest any of
the matches tonight, but we hopefully learned some things,” Baade
said. “Practice is important. We need
to work on second serves (throwing
in a soft second serve will get your
opponent up at the net who will be
making a hard hit return) and we
need to keep the ball low going over
the net. It was a lesson we can learn
from.”
The Spartans (0-2) play at Webster City Thursday and are at South
Tama next Tuesday.

opens season
The Grundy Center High School
boys’ tennis team opened its 2014
season with mixed results last week,
falling to Waverly-Shell Rock Thursday before coming back to shut out
South Hardin 9-0 Friday.
No. 5 and No. 6 singles players
Jarrett Stoner and Jared Clapp went
2-0 on the week in singles, with both
picking up victories over their W-SR
opponents in a tiebreaker and both
shutting out their South Hardin opponents. The duo also combined for
a win at No. 3 doubles against South
Hardin while falling in three sets
against W-SR.
“Jarrett Stoner and Jared Clapp
both played very well in matches
that had the momentum going back
a forth,” Coach John Baade said after the Waverly-Shell Rock match.
“Both were able to win the tie-breaker giving some positive results on
our first outing. We do need to work
on serves, net play and foot work.”
Grundy Center dominated its
match against South Hardin, winning each of its 12 sets in singles
play while dropping just 11 games in
doubles.
The Spartans (1-1) play at Webster City Thursday before playing
at Union next Monday and at South
Tama next Tuesday. The Webster
City and South Tama matches are
girl-boy doubleheaders.
