Board ready to accept
tornado safe room bids
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER — The Grundy Center Community School District’s
plan to build a tornado safe room has become a reality. Monday night the local
School Board approved a resolution giving Struxture Architects authority to
let bids for the project.
The $1.11 million project will be funded primarily by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), though the local school district
must pay to build a vestibule between the junior/senior high school and the
tornado safe room, which will be located just north of the football stadium/
track complex. FEMA eligible expenses are $803,000, with the school
paying the remaining amount.
In addition to use in the event of an emergency, the facility will also
provide the School District with much-needed classroom space for its fifthgraders. It will feature three classrooms with nearly 1,000 square feet of
room each as well as two other smaller classrooms. It will also feature a selfcontained heating, ventilation and air conditioning system with geothermal
energy). Doors and windows will appear and act normally, though they will
also have a steel casing that would be put into use if the building were ever
to be used for an evacuation.
Bids for the project will be opened at the Sept. 11 board meeting, with
hopes of construction beginning in October. The District would like to move
into the building by the beginning of the 2014-15 school year.
The Board also discussed upcoming changes to the Good Conduct Policy
that determines how much time students must sit out of athletics or other
extra-curricular activities if they are found guilt of conduct outlined in the
policy, which includes both legal and school-related issues. Secondary
principal Steve VanderPol reported on several meetings he had with parents
during the summer to determine what they would like to see in the policy.
He said the biggest thing they asked for was the possibility of different
punishments for students actually involved in violation of the policy and
those who were merely there when the violation happened.
Discussion also centered on who appeals of Good Conduct Policy
violations would go through as well as how parents would be notified.
Currently parents have the option of appealing violations to the complete
School Board, something that is not allowed in other disciplinary situations
except expulsion hearings, which can legally be held in closed session.
The policy must still be reviewed by the District’s lawyers and will go
into effect once officially passed by the School Board later this year.
For a second consecutive meeting, the Board discussed the District’s
cell phone policy. Last month the Board passed the first reading of a policy
amending the current policy to one that requires specified District employees
who have district supported phones to purchase their own phone and then
receive a stipend from the District.
Board members had several questions about the policy they previously
passed, including the “market rate” stipend that they had agreed upon.
Director Bob Johanns noted that the policy could allow employees with a
lower-cost plan to get a larger stipend than they are spending on their bill.
There was also discussion about whether to set the reimbursement rate
at 100 percent, noting that employees will also use the phone, which they
purchased on their own, for personal use.
The Board passed the second reading of the policy and then in a separate
motion set the stipend rate for the upcoming school year at $50 for eight
district employees whose phones do not require a data plan and $100 for
seven who do need one.
The Board also approved purchase of a new school bus, as had previously
been budgeted for. The low bid of $88,712 came from School Bus Sales of
Waterloo for a 2014 Bluebird All-American with seating for 78 passengers.
IN OTHER BUSINESS, THE BOARD:
• The Board also approved the hiring of a pair of junior high coaches. Bob
Johnson will coach the Spartan junior high football team this fall while Todd
Zinkula will coach the school’s girls’ basketball team;
• Approved a contract with Vanco for online payments and approved an
amended contract with Premier for copiers contingent upon the contract only
be moving forward and not retroactive to last year;
• Approved an open enrollment request for a student entering transitional
kindergarten from the AGWSR School District.

New ‘Little Library’ finds
home in Grundy Center
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER — There’s a
new library in Grundy Center.
Don’t worry Kling Memorial
Library friends, the local public
library is in no danger. Nancy
Dolmage’s new library is a Little
Free Library, built to distribute a few
books at a time among those who
wish to share what they have read
and no longer need.
Dolmage said she found the idea
for her Little Library (located around
on the edge of she and husband
Dennis’ property on I Avenue) while
reading American Profile, and then
saw something similar in person
while riding on a bike trail in Cedar
Falls.
“We talked to the man who built
it, it was really nice,” she said. “It’s
shingled and a little bit larger and has
a wing off to the side, and actually
it has a little stoop so a child could
stand on it to get up to the children’s
books or sit down and read. So I
came home and kept pushing Denny
about it and so he built the Little
Library.”
Using boards from a horse stable
he had built and a door he purchased,
Dennis built a simple structure
with a sharply angled roof and a
plexiglass window in the door so
those interested can see what books
are inside.
“It has rained hard since he put it
in and it hasn’t leaked,” Nancy said.
Books in the library initially came
from Nancy’s collection as well as a
few from her daughter Sarah, who
Nancy Dolmage is pictured with the Little Free Library that she maintains in Grundy Center. (Courtesy

supplied many of the children’s
books.
“Some of those were really
nice ones and were gone like that
(quickly),” Dolmage said of her
daughter’s books.
The Little Library is strictly on
your honor. The concept is for those
who take books to replace them with
something else, though Dolmage
said she is not at all worried about
that aspect.
“They don’t have to leave a
book,” she said. “I don’t want people
to think ‘Oh I can’t take one because
I don’t have a book to leave,’ but I
know that there have been some
adult books (in the library) that I
didn’t have before.”
Dolmage said she checks the
library, which went up in July,
about once a week. She makes sure

Homespun Treasures opens new location
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER — When
Dawn Meester-Bonk and her
husband Steve opened Homespun
Treasures less than a year ago, they
had hopes and dreams that they
would eventually outgrow their
downtown Grundy Center location.
Little did they know, however, how
quickly that time would come.
“We were hoping it would get
big, but we didn’t plan on it getting
this big this fast,” Dawn said.
Just eight months after opening
just behind Schuck Realty on
Seventh Street, the Bonks recently
moved their business at 101 Fourth
Street on Grundy Center’s north
side.
“This is perfect for what we’re
doing,” Steve said.
Dawn, who has owned
businesses before, said this business
started while talking to friends about
crafts they had sewn.
“I was joking and said ‘Well I
should open a store, and then I could
sell all your stuff,’” she said. “Steve
is a quilter, his mom (Val) sews and
gives classes down at the college in
Marshalltown, and so (I said) why
can’t we do that here. I showed him
the place on Seventh Street on a
Wednesday and two weeks later we
were open.”
What began as a mere dozen
Homespun vendors quickly grew

to 40, many of whom are locallybased crafters. It wasn’t long before
they filled the store with more
merchandise than could be properly
displayed, with some items having
to be placed on top of others.
“I know my vendors were
concerned about the space,” Dawn
said. “(They asked), ‘Are you
planning on getting bigger?’ (I said)
‘I hope so.’”
Another issue with the old
location was that it was located
up a flight of steps and was not

entry difficult or impossible for
some potential customers.
“We had a lot of people who
didn’t come up because they

couldn’t,” Dawn said. “And with the
quilting and the sewing, some of our
customers are elderly and they just
didn’t want to take the risk of the
steps. That’s kind of why the move
was perpetuated so quickly.”
Steve said the new location was
suited ideally to their needs when
they moved in, having formerly been
a consignment store and before that
a wallpaper and paint store.
“The way the movement in
the store is, it’s set up perfectly,”
Dawn said. “Whoever put the store
together knew the retail end of it.
The movement through the store
is correct, we don’t have any stopstarts like we did. In our (old) store
we basically had one loop that you
could make, and that’s not enough
time for people to look.”

there are enough books — about 14
adult books and 14 children’s books
— and fills in where she needs to.
Nancy said the types of books in the
library varies based on whose books
they are. She said her daughter reads
a lot of mysteries while she leans
toward fiction based on non-fiction
events.
“I’m not trying to compete with
The new location also has more
classroom space for sewing classes
that Val teaches and has a storage
area that was notably lacking at the
previous location.
“It’s more than twice the size,
plus we have back room storage
here,” Dawn said.
Besides the size and layout of the
new location, it has also given the
store the added visibility of being on
one of the busiest streets in town.
“This new location has already
brought in road traffic – traffic that
we wouldn’t have had uptown,”
Steve said.
It also has room for expansion,
with one room not yet used and the
potential to tighten other areas of the
store to create space.
“I’d love to have 100 vendors,”
Dawn said.

thought it was a cute idea and why
not try it.”

Farmer's Market
Notes
This week is National Farmers
Market Week. There are currently
8,144 farmers markets listed in the
USDA's National Farmers Market
Directory. The farmers market is a
great way to show young children
what fresh unprocessed food looks
and tastes like. It is also a way to
know where your food comes from
and how it handled, as producers are
happy to answer your questions.
Stop by the market and thank
your vendors for all their hard work.
See you Thursday 4:30 to 6:30
p.m., Courthouse Square, Grundy
Center.

Kevin Holl rides his antique John Deere at the National Plowing contest in Ohio.
Local farmer fares well at national plowing contest
By ROB MAHARRY
The Record
Kevin Holl can remember a time
when plowing contests were a national phenomenon, and even United
States presidents could be counted
among the 250,000 attendees. That
time has passed, but he’s still doing
what he can to keep the tradition alive
and inspire a new generation of farmers to compete.
“There are us die-hards out there
trying to keep it going,” Holl said.
“We’re trying to get more young
kids.”
Holl, who farms a few miles south
of Conrad, recently competed in the
Darke County Plowing Association’s
State and National Plowing Contest
from August 2-4. The competition
was held in Union City, Ohio, a community of about 2,000 nestled on the
Ohio/Indiana border. It has been held
in Belmond, Iowa, in the past.
Cliff Parker, also of Conrad,
turned Holl onto plowing competitions in the late 1970’s, and Holl first
GRUNDY CENTER — Due
to an extended absence of Grundy
County Rural Electric Cooperative’s
general manager, the cooperative
has entered into an agreement with
Franklin Rural Electric Cooperative
for management services.
Francis Buckel, general manager
at Franklin REC, is now managing both Franklin REC and Grundy
County REC. He is serving as Grundy’s interim general manager and
will be splitting time between the
two cooperatives’ offices in Hampton and Grundy Center.
Buckel has been general manager
at Franklin REC since 1992. Previously he was employed at Hardin
County REC. He has a Bachelor’s
degree from the University of Northern Iowa. Buckel and his wife Sue
live in Iowa Falls. They have three
grown children and one grandchild.
CRNA
GRUNDY CENTER — Save
your fall cleaning finds for Grundy
Center's Citywide garage sale! The
two-day event is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 20 and Saturday, Sept.
21, and will be organized by Grundy
Community Preschool & Childcare
Center (GCP&CC).
GCP&CC is the community's oldest childcare facility, serving families
from throughout the county. The nonprofit organization uses fundraisers to
purchase educational materials, toys,
and equipment for Grundy County's
smallest and youngest residents.
Residents of Grundy Center, Holland and the surrounding rural area
are encouraged to hold garage sales
as the organization will work to bring
bargain lovers galore to Grundy Center.
GCP&CC organizes a citywide
sale in June every year, and the
people participating this year had a
great experience. This year’s sellers
requested that we organize a fall sale
as well. The organization thought this
would be another good opportunity
to bring people into town and support
local merchants as well as sale participants. Grundy Center Chamber of
Commerce will also be hosting Salsa
Saturday Sept. 21 and we hope that
this will bring even more people to
town and support everyone’s efforts.

tested his skills locally in Marshalltown. In 1980, he participated in the
small plow/large plow class at the
state competition, and he earned second place honors in the antique class,
which qualified Holl to compete at the
national level.
In his own words, he “didn’t do so
hot” at nationals, but he enjoyed the
experience and continued to pursue
plowing. His hard work paid off this
year when he received first place honors in the antique class.
“I had an old tractor, and I had a
plow,” he said, referring to his John
Deere with a hand-pull flywheel. “I
just wanted to go out and do something with that.”
Competitors are given 75 minutes
to plow a 40x264 plot of land and
judged on a 200 point scale, which includes factors like straightness, quality of tillage surface and how level the
surface is, among others.
“It’s like a piece of artwork out
there if you’ve done it right,” Holl
said. “If it looks good to the naked eye,
you’re going to score really high.”
The national competition attracts
farmers from Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, South
Dakota, Missouri, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and even Connecticut. Holl
said that while farming varies greatly
in different sections of the country, the
national competition is a good way for
farmers to come together and build
long-lasting friendships.
Holl said that numbers have shrunk
in these competitions, but he and other
“die-hards” are reaching out to help
youngsters become more involved.
Tractor pulls, which are usually more
locally oriented, have become more
popular in recent years, but Holl
doesn’t think there’s any reason farmers can’t do both.
There are many benefits attending
the national competitions, including
working with the machinery and hearing stories from other farmers with
more experience, according to Holl.
“You can always get a good crop
report,” he said.

"This is a great time to hold a sale
of your own, coordinate with neighbors for a block sale, or use this as
an opportunity to raise funds for
a community group," said Crystal
Huisman, Grundy Center Preschool
& Childcare Center Board member.
"We want to bring as many people as
possible to Grundy Center, all while
raising funds for a wonderful community non-profit organization."
Each registered garage sale will
be promoted by hand-out flyers, yard
signs, posters and by press releases.
The citywide sale will also be advertised in The Grundy Register and
other area newspapers.
Registered garage sales will also
be included on the sale map. Each
sale will be allowed a brief listing
of items, sale hours, sale hosts, and
street address. Moreover, each sale
will be assigned a number which will
be promoted on the yard signs.
GCP&CC has already contacted
Trinkets & Togs and they would
gladly accept your donations at the
store.
More details will be available in
the coming weeks. For more information regarding the Grundy Center
Citywide Garage Sale or to pre-register your garage sale, please call Kim

DIKE — No injuries were reported in a pair of accidents on Highway
20 last week.
Last Wednesday, at 9:14 p.m. the
Grundy County Sheriff’s Department received a report of a two-vehicle accident just east of the Highway 14 interchange. Robert Cronan,
52, of Waterloo was driving a 2000
Chevy pickup with a flatbed trailer
eastbound in the driving lane. The
truck lost its left front wheel assembly, causing it to lose control
and sideswipe a 2014 International
truck tractor pulling a 2003 enclosed
trailer driven by 55-year-old Tamara
Land. The Land vehicle jackknifed
across both eastbound lanes. The
Cronan vehicle received approximately $5,000 damage while the
Land vehicle received $1,500 damage.
Thursday at approximately 6:30
p.m., a swaying trailer led to a onevehicle accident. According to the
sheriff’s report, Mikhail Muravev,
52, of Marina Del Rey, Calif. was
driving a 2012 Toyota Cruise westbound when the 2002 Rosco Spray
Patcher he was pulling began swaying, forcing Muravev to lose control.
The vehicle lost control and rolled
on the inside shoulder. Damage was
estimated at $20,000.
Both accidents remain under investigation.

From The
Cheap Seats
Every year at this time, as we get ready for the first day of school, my
mind goes back to that first day ... that very first day ... the day I was a wideeyed kindergartener attending Indiana
School in South Haven, Mich.
I remember how bright everything
looked ... how the teacher greeted us
as we came into the room and showed
us to our very own cubbyhole ... and
our very own desk ... with our very
own pencils and paper and crayons.
A lot has changed about school
since that day more than 35 years ago,
but one thing that hasn’t changed is
the wide eyes, bright grins and maybe
even a tear or two washing down the
face of a child who has never left their
mother and father’s side. ‘Who is this
stranger you’re leaving me with?”
some will wonder.
Without children of my own, I tend
to live through those I watch and take
By JOHN JENSEN
pictures of for the paper. My annual trip
to take pictures of the elementary open house at Grundy Center Elementary
has become one of my favorite photo days of the year.
Every year at this time I think back to a poem I first heard read by WHO
radio’s Van Harden. It struck me then and strikes me today. The column is
about a father’s thoughts as he sends his young daughter to school for the
first time.
I Trust You’ll Treat Her Well
By Dan Valentine
From the book “American Essays:
Sentimental Classics Designed to Make the Heart Sing”
World, I bequeath to you today one little girl in a crispy dress ... with two
blue eyes ... and a happy laugh that ripples all day long, and a batch of light
blonde hair that bounces in the sunlight when she runs. I Trust You’ll Treat
Her Well.
She’s slipping out of the backyard of my heart this morning and skipping
off down the street to her first day at school.
And never again will she be completely mine ...
Prim and proud, she’ll wave a young and independent hand this morning,
and say goodbye and walk with little-lady steps to the nearby schoolhouse ...
Gone will be the chattering little hoyden who lived only for play, and
gone will be the delightful little gamin who roamed the yard like a proud
princess with nary a care in her little world.
Now, she will learn to stand in lines ... and wait by the alphabet for her
name to be called...
She will learn to tune her little-girl ears for the sound of school bells, and
for deadlines ...
She will learn to giggle and gossip ... and to look at the ceiling in a
disinterested way when the little boy across the aisle sticks out his tongue.
Now she will learn to be jealous ... and now she will learn how it is to feel
hurt inside ... and now she will learn how not to cry. No longer will she have
time to sit on the front porch steps on a summer day and watch while an ant
scurries across a crack in the sidewalk ...
Or will she have time to pop out of bed with the dawn to kiss lilac
blossoms in the morning dew. Now she will worry about important things
... like grades ... and what dresses to wear ... and whose best friend is whose.
Now she will worry about the little boy who pulls her hair at recess time ...
and staying after school ... and which little girls like which little boys ... And
the magic of books and knowledge will soon take the place of the magic of
her blocks and dolls.
And she’ll find her new heroes. For five full years I’ve been her sage
and Santa Claus ... her pal and playmate ... her parent and friend. Now, alas,
she’ll learn to share her worship and adoration with her teachers (which is
only right).
No longer will her parents be the smartest, and greatest in the world.
Today, when the first school bell rings, she’ll learn how it is to be a member
of the group ... with all its privileges, and, of course, its disadvantages, too.

She’ll learn in time that proper young ladies don’t laugh out loud ... or
keep frogs in pickle jars in bedrooms ... or watch ants scurry across the
cracks in a summer sidewalk...
Today, she’ll begin to learn for the first time that all who smile at her
are not her friends. That “the group” can be a demanding mistress... and
I’ll stand on the porch and watch her start out on the long, long journey to
becoming a woman.
So WORLD, I BEQUEATH TO YOU TODAY ONE LITTLE GIRL in a
crispy dress, with two blue eyes, a happy laugh that ripples all day long, and
a batch of light blonde hair that bounces in the sunlight when she runs.
I TRUST YOU’LL TREAT HER WELL.

As you probably have seen already, this week’s Register features our
special section from the recently-completed Grundy County Fair. The section
is the largest tabloid we publish all year, both in number of pages and manhours involved. We enjoy putting it together, but are also relieved when it is
completed.
This is one of the sections where literally every person in both our
Grundy Center and Conrad offices contribute. Our publisher, Clint Poock,
and Conrad representative Stephanie McManus begin advertising sales for
the section several weeks before the Fair. No fewer than five staff members
have photo credits in the section, and a sixth took a few photos that are in
it, though that person preferred to be uncredited. After the Fair, Lisa Bakker
takes over, designing and laying out the section. I told her before we got into
the process that my job during the section was to help her. It seemed to work
out well.
Major thanks go to the Fair Board and Grundy County Extension office
for their help in making the Fair edition a success. This was a transition year
for us as we moved from having Marilyn Myers cover the Fair to doing it
with our Grundy Center and Conrad staffs. I would love to say there were no
glitches, but the fact is that there were a few. While I had done fairs in the
past in several different counties, every county does things differently. And
besides me, no other member of our staff had worked at a fair before. We
have room to improve, and I know that we will.
One of the unique things I found spending more time at the Grundy
County Fair than in the past is how friendly it is. And apparently I’m not the
only person who noticed. A family from the eastern part of the state, near
Cedar Rapids, thinks enough of the Grundy County Fair that it chooses to
participate here rather than closer to home. To the best of my knowledge they
don’t have a specific tie to the area, but they do have a son with special needs.
The story I was told a couple of times by different people associated with
the Fair is that the family prefers it here because their son doesn’t get asked
questions – people allow him to be a kid like everybody else. Kudos Grundy
County. Kudos!
I hear a lot of people associated with the Fair asking what they can do
to grow bigger. My answer to them is that bigger isn’t always better. The
Grundy County Fair does what it does well, and that is provide a place for
the 4-H families of our county to get together and have a place for our youth
to show their projects, be they livestock or otherwise. The Fair Board does
its best to bring good entertainment that it can present at an affordable price.
The emphasis at the local fair is on family, and that’s where it should be.
Larger fairs are fun to attend, though they lose that family aspect which
to me is so important. Grundy County is a special place to live and work
because of how much it values its families, and our fair demonstrates those
values.

Operation Supervisor
On August 17 and 18 with great
support from Scheels All Sport; we
are hosting our 6th 3D target bow
shoot. Due to several different circumstances we have moved the location this year to the Black Hawk
Wildlife Area just north of Morrision
on T53.
The new location has provided us
with a great advantage for some truly realistic shot opportunities. The
course is a 40-target course, with the
majority of the shots featuring realistic hunting scenes. This year we
have two novelty shots at a couple
of novelty targets that I think will
make the shoot unique. If you are
an archery person and haven’t tried
a 3D shoot before, please come out
and test your skills. If your passion
is hunting with archery equipment
then this is perfect for honing your
skills for the upcoming season.
The shoot opens at 7:30 and final
registration is at 12:30 on both days.
The cost for shooting the course is
$10 for adults and $5 for youth. If
one time around the course isn’t
enough, reshoots are only half price.
Without the great support from
Scheels All Sport in Cedar Falls this
shoot would be out of reach for us.
For a second year they have stepped
up as the title sponsor and helped us
greatly. Once again they have provided us with several new and different targets, along with providing the
top shooters in each adult division
with a $50 dollar gift card. Also they
provided the youth division with a
$25 dollar gift card. Another great
thing Scheels does is to have Bow
Technicians on hand to assist anyone
with tuning you bow to help in your
accuracy. Also they will have demo
models from all of the flagship bows
for anyone to try. So if you are new
to the sport or wanting to upgrade
please come out and try these bows.
The last two years support from the
Cedar Falls Scheels store has taken
this shoot to another level and I truly
appreciate it.
So please come join us for great
fun and recreation this weekend at
the Black Hawk Wildlife area just
north of Morrison. It is great fun
for all ages. We hope to see you out
there honing your skills.
Dix’s Diary
By
Senate Rep. Leader
Bill Dix
Work Begins On Telecommunications Study
Senate Republicans have long
advocated for comprehensive tax reform. With the final passage of SF
295, the largest property tax cut in
Iowa history, Republicans won the
battle, and ensured Iowans would
see comprehensive property tax reform. While this legislation enables
small businesses to create jobs and
Iowa families to keep more of their
hard-earned money, it also created
an exemption for telecommunications property to be phased in over
a period of time. It also provided the
means to conduct a study on the current property tax treatment of companies providing telecommunication
services.
The Iowa Department of Revenue recently began work on the
Telecommunications Property Tax
Study Committee. The property tax
legislation directed the study to include potential methods to provide
equivalent property tax treatment for
all companies providing telecommunications services in Iowa as well as
recommendations for apportioning
the property tax revenues back to
local taxing authorities. The report
also will include draft legislation to
implement the recommendations
made. The report is to be filed by
August 1, 2015.

In the action movie White House

James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx). Not
wanting to let down his little girl
with the news, he takes her on a
tour of the White House, when the
complex is overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. Now,
with the nation’s government falling
into chaos and time running out, it's
up to Cale to save the president, his
daughter, and the country.
In the sequel The Smurfs 2, the
evil wizard Gargamel creates a
couple of mischievous Smurf-like
creatures called the Naughties that
he hopes will let him harness the allpowerful, magical Smurf-essence.
But when he discovers that only
a real Smurf can give him what he
wants - and that only a secret spell
that Smurfette knows can turn the
Naughties into real Smurfs - Gargamel kidnaps Smurfette and brings
her to Paris, where he has been winning the adoration of millions as the
world's greatest sorcerer. It's up to
Papa, Clumsy, Grouchy, and Vanity to return to our world, reunite
with their human friends Patrick and
Grace Winslow, and rescue her! Will
Smurfette, who has always felt different from the other Smurfs, find
a new connection with the Naughties Vexy and Hackus - or will the
Smurfs convince her that their love
for her is True Blue?

GRUNDY CENTER — Community members who have experienced
the death of a family member or
friend are invited to attend the GriefShare program held the first and
third Mondays of each month at 7
p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church
in Grundy Center and the second and
fourth Mondays of each month at the
First Presbyterian Church in Reinbeck. Sessions on the first Monday
in Grundy Center and second Monday in Reinbeck are similar, as are
the sessions on the third Monday in
Grundy Center and the fourth Monday in Reinbeck.
Sessions are free and are not sequential, so people are invited to
come to as many or as few as they
like. This nondenominational program features teaching that focuses
on grief topics associated with the
death of a loved one. The DVD seminar features nationally respected
grief experts and real-life stories of
people, followed by a small group
discussion about what was seen on
the DVD. It is Biblically based and
has Christian foundations, however
all are welcome regardless of faith or
church membership or background.
Many grieving people find they
are only beginning the work of healing when friends or family have
returned to their daily life routines.
Past participants have related how
helpful the information and followup discussions were to them.
Your bereavement experience
may be recent or not so recent. You
will find encouragement, comfort
and help in grieving the death of a
spouse, child, parent, sibling, other
family member or friend. No matter
what the cause of your loved one's
death, this is an opportunity to be
around people who understand what
you are feeling. You will learn how
to recognize the symptoms of being
stuck in grief and that you do not
need to live in bondage as a slave
to certain emotions. You will learn
valuable information about facing
your new normal in life and renewing your hope for the future.

CEDAR RAPIDS — Alliant Energy hopes the date of August 11 on
the calendar will serve as a natural
reminder for everyone to call 811 before they dig. Calling 811 helps prevent potentially dangerous accidents
involving buried utility lines like
natural gas, electric, and internet.
Installing a mailbox, building a
deck, planting a tree, and laying a patio are all examples of digging projects that require a call to 811 before
starting. A national report recently
found that small fencing, irrigation
and landscaping contractors were
most often involved in digging incidents. Often, it was from a failure to
call 811 before starting work.
“On Aug. 11 and throughout the
year, we remind homeowners and
professional contractors to call 811
before digging. This single act helps
to eliminate the risk of striking an
underground utility line,” said Richard Sublett, sr. manager compliance
and operational performance for Alliant Energy. “It really is the only
way to know what utilities are buried
in your area.”
When a customer calls 811, area
utilities are notified. They will send
professional locators to the digging
site. Once on scene, locators mark
the approximate locations of underground lines with flags and or paint.
The depth of utility lines can vary
for a number of reasons, such as erosion, previous digging projects and
uneven surfaces. Utility lines need to
be properly located and marked because some utility lines can be found
just inches below the surface.
Call at least 48 hours before starting a digging project. When you start
to dig, stay at least 18 inches away
from the marked lines. Carefully
hand dig if within this zone. Distance
requirements vary by state, so ask for
guidelines when calling 811.
The Mennenga family barn, and its “Churn Dash” quilt design, are part of a redwork barn kit that commemorates the American Quilt Trail movement. The barn once stood in central Iowa’s Grundy County. Photo

Barn from Grundy County featured in needlework, book
WELLSBURG — A barn that
once stood in Grundy County is
getting national recognition for the
unique quilt pattern that hung on its
exterior.
The “Churn Dash” design,
which had been on Karen and
Marlyn Mennenga’s Gothic brick
barn, is part of a new red work kit
by historic needlework designer
The Posy Collection. The Mennenga barn is also featured in awardwinning book “Barn Quilts and the
American Quilt Trail Movement”
by Suzi Parron and Donna Sue
Groves.
Designs from six states were
selected for the redwork barn kit,
which features a form of needle art
that uses red thread on natural-colored muslin.

of quilt squares painted on panels
and hung on barns and buildings
that capture the spirit of American
quilting and local heritage,” said
Posy Lough, owner of the Kentucky-based Posy Collection. “We
took some of the more iconic ones
and put them together in a kit for
quilt lovers and stitchers to enjoy.”
In addition to being a work of
art, each barn quilt tells a story
unique to its owner or property in
which it is placed. The Mennengas,
for example, describe themselves
as “John Deere people” (hence the
yellow and green). The pattern itself derives from the Mennengas
working with Joyce Badrick, whose
family previously owned the farm.
Badrick and her siblings chose a
quilt design their mother had often
enjoyed piecing.
Groves conceived of the barn
quilt concept in 2001. She worked
with her Ohio community to create the first quilt trail to honor her
mother, thus inspiring the quilt trail
movement. Now, several thousand
barns across the United States feature quilt blocks.
Lough and Parron worked together to choose the barns and interpret them for the redwork design.
Other states featured in the redwork
barn kit include: North Carolina,
Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky and
Missouri. Kits can be purchased
online at www.barnquiltinfo.com.

quilt trail movement and Parron’s
book, visit www.barnquiltinfo.

Is Self-help Oxymoronic?
Is the concept of self-help an oxymoron, that
is, a contradiction in terms? There is clearly something oxymoronic about “self-help”
books, since they are written by someone
else. A true “self-help” book would be one
written to help its author work through some
problem or issue. Perhaps that is a good way
to approach our problems, i.e., by researching them as if we were going to write a book
illustrating how to solve that problem. Selfhelp may also be contradictory in the same
sense in which it is ridiculous to expect people to be able to lift themselves up by their
own bootstraps. When you are sinking in
quicksand you need someone on dry land to
throw you a rope or reach out to you, in the
same way that you just can’t pull yourself
out of many of life’s problems. And lastly,
there is the irony that “self-help” gives us the
illusion of independence, when we are in fact
dependent on others, and especially on God,
from whom our best help often comes. We
should not cut ourselves off from God’s help.
– Christopher Simon
“My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of
heaven and earth.”

Same day voter registration available
For voters choosing to wait until
September 10th to register and vote
at the school election, the “Same
Day Voter Registration” procedure
may slow up the voting experience
at the polling site. Iowa law allows
you to register to vote on Election
Day at the polling place for the precinct in which you currently live.
After showing proper identification
you may register and vote at the
precinct the same day.
To make the voting experience
easier and less time consuming
on September 10, County Auditor Rhonda R. Deters recommends
that you pre-register to vote with
your County Auditor’s Office by
the August 30 deadline. By preregistering, your name will appear
on the election register at your
polling site, and you will avoid the
time consuming process required
for “Same Day Voter Registration.”
You can register in person at
your County Auditor’s Office, or
voter registration forms are available on the Grundy County website which is www.grundycounty.
org under the heading “Where do I
….?” Click on “Register to Vote”
to download a voter registration
form. The completed forms should
be delivered or mailed to your
County Auditor’s Office. Mailed
applications must be postmarked
by August 26.
If you are already registered to
vote, there is no need to re-register
to participate in the school election.
Absentee ballot request forms
are also available on the same website under the heading “Where do I
….?” Click on “Vote Absentee” to
download an application form. all
voters in the AGWSR, BCLUW,
Dike-New Hartford, and Grundy
Center School Districts must re-
quest their absentee ballots through
the Grundy County Election Office,
even if they live outside of Grundy
County. The completed application forms should be dropped off or
mailed to the Grundy County Auditor, 706 G Ave., Grundy Center,
IA 50638-1496. The last day to
request an absentee ballot by mail
is September 6. To vote absentee
in person, voters may stop at the
Grundy County Auditor’s Office
on the 2nd floor of the Courthouse
during normal business hours
Monday through Friday (8 a.m. to
4:30 p.m.). The deadline to vote
by absentee ballot in person at the
Grundy County Auditor’s Office is
September 10 at 11 a.m.

Clay Allison was a gunfighter
known for his mercurial personality and violent temper. He is also
remembered as one of the most notorious and deranged outlaws of the
old west.
Allison had fought for the confederacy in the Civil War, but was
discharged after a blow to the head
started causing erratic behavior in
him. It was this injury that historians believe explains his shockingly
brutal actions, which included beheading a man he suspected of murder, and carrying the head into his
favorite bar. This pretty much cemented his reputation as one of the
most murderous figures of his day.
Someone once asked Allison
what he did for a living. He replied
“I am a
Shootist”. The multiple accounts
of his outrageous activities are almost impossible to verify, if even
half of them are true people had a
right to be afraid of him!
Allison went on to participate in
a number of gunfights against fellow gunslingers. One of these was
against an outlaw, Chunk Colbert,
whom Allison shot in the head when
Colbert drew his gun on him following a meal they had shared. When
he was asked why he’d eaten with a
man who wanted to kill him, Allison
replied he wouldn’t have wanted to
“send a man to hell on an empty
stomach”.
One of the most written about
events of the old west is the “showdown” between Wyatt Earp (assistant marshal of Dodge City)
and Clay Allison. Allison felt that
several cowboys working for him
apparently were mistreated by the
local marshal’s office (Wyatt Earp).
Earp claimed that he and Bat Masterson confronted Allison and his
men in a saloon and that Allison
backed down before them. As famous as this showdown was, it has
never been positively confirmed to
even have happened.
Most people would assume Allison would have died in a gunfight,
but he died in an accident while
working on his ranch. He’d been
hauling a load of supplies and the
load shifted and a sack of grain fell
from the wagon. Allison tried to
catch it and fell from the wagon, a
wheel rolled over him, breaking his
neck. His death was almost instantaneous. He was 46.
Allison is buried in the Pecos,
Texas cemetery. There is a marker
at the foot of his grave which reads
“He never killed a man that did not
need killing”.

year’s Vacation Bible School. More than 175 children joined 90 volunteers at Monday night’s events.

Final Blythe Memorial hands out $62,000
By COREY MEINTS
Ackley World-Journal
Reprinted with permission
ACKLEY — When organizers for
the annual Treye Blythe Memorial
Golf Tournament announced earlier
that the sixth would be the last, they
didn't expect to set another record.
But the recent event, like each of
the previous five, did set a record.
With the $62,000 given out, the total
charitable contributions of the event
came to nearly $300,000.
While that is a staggering amount,
it's even more impressive when one
realizes that it was never meant to
be that big. But, as word got out, the
tournament grew. Now, however,
it's time to get back to what it was
originally intended for-a chance for
friends and family to gather and
have fun. In other words, to play
games like Treye always liked.
Blythe was murdered seven years
ago while helping a friend at a Waterloo house party. The tournament/
fundraiser started a year later, following the trial and conviction of
his killer.
This year's recipients included the
AGWSR Booster Club ($10,000),
Ackley Volunteer Ambulance Service ($10,000) Steamboat Rock Visionary Committee for a playground
($10,000), ball field in the Dominican Republic ($10,000), Ackley
Little League ($5,750), Wellsburg
Little League ($5,750), Wellsburg
Golf Course ($5,000), Youth Archery Club ($2,500), University of
Iowa Intervarsity Campus Christian
Program ($2,000) and the AGWSR
FFA ($1,000).
Dustin Blythe, Treye's father, said
the entire committee was flabbergasted to set another record. Last
year's total was $58,000 and was
not expected to be topped. But with
some 20 more auction items over
normal and a record $4,250 given
for a Peyton Manning signed Denver Broncos helmet, they saw that it
could.
"It speaks to the people who come
to the tournament and support the
tournament and to the groups who
request the money," Dustin said.
"Without those needs, it'd be hard to
raise that kind of money. It's gratifying from that aspect. We don't live
here anymore, but to be able to
come back and have a tournament in
Treye's memory and year after year
be able to give back to the community and other good causes, has been
great."
Russ Banzhaf, Matt Lindaman, Mike Viet, Jim Peters and Bill Dunkelberger try to get a read as Dave Lutterman putts. These six were among the 100 golfers at Friday's Treye Blythe Memorial Golf Tournament. It
was the sixth and final event that has given away nearly $300,000 to community needs. (Photo courtesy Roger
Lugo/Ackley World-Journal)
All money raised came from the
golf entry fees, hole sponsorships,
live auction and donations. Organizers wouldn't thank those donors and
sponsors enough for all they have
done for the success of the event.
Now, however, is the time to hand it
off to somebody else. At least for a
while.
Dustin said the template has been
set for future fundraisers within the
community. Several groups already
hold golf events to raise funds. By
holding one large event like this,
several community needs can be
met at one time. That, he said, is
something he hopes to see happen.
"It's here," Dustin said. "The City
of Muscatine does this. They get auction items, they ask for hole sponsorships and those businesses don't
have people hitting them up all year.
They take the money raised each
year and split it among the charities.
I really think all these communities
here could do that. If you can get the
fire departments, schools and others
on board, you could have one community fundraiser. It doesn't even
have to be a golf tournament."
Dustin said the golf tournament
isn't really where the money comes
from. It's more of a social thing,
which is something he says will remain.
"We've done it for six years and, to
be honest, next year it will be nice to
have just a golf tournament," Dustin
said. "We still want the crowd, but
we're not going to be like this. If
there's money left over, we'll give it
away. It's just more important to get
everybody together and have fun.
Today was a great day, but we'd like
to golf too."
"It's been fun getting together
one time a year to see those close
to Treye," Dustin added. "It's been
great, but we never set out to be this.
That's part of why we're ending it the
way it is now. We still want to get
together and play, but there's a lot
of people who put this together who
want to play, too. We haven't been
able to. It's not about the money.
It never has been. It's always been
about getting together. Six years and
$300,000 later, we weren't expecting it but we've been happy to do it."
Lisa Ensign, Treye's mother, said
she will miss the tournament as it
has been but knows it will always be
an event that Treye himself would
be proud of. And, she noted, it will
continue to help with the healing
process that she knows will be an
ongoing thing.
"It was a great one to end on," Lisa
said. "It's emotional, but it's good. I
think the thing for me through this

whole thing is that it gave me, at
the beginning, something to look
forward to every year. For me, it's
helped so much with healing to
come back home and see everybody
who loved Treye and knew what a
character he was. I'll miss that. If it
ever stops."
Lisa said the time and work spent
on putting the tournament together
the last six years has been worth it.
"We're not complaining," she said.
"When we started, we didn't know
what we were really doing. Now
we're just slowing down. Being
around his friends and family was
the most important thing to Treye.
We all loved doing fun things with
him and didn't want to quit. This is
something that he really would have
enjoyed."
Being able to do so much over the
past six years has also been a wonderful source of healing and pride
Lisa said. She knows, too, that it has
been a way to keep her son's memory alive.
"I think it's coming from Treye,
not from us," Lisa noted. "I think
that's why we've had the drive and
push to do it every year. Now it's
just time to slow it down and play
games like Treye used to play."

Jeralyn’s School of Dance
The Grundy Center High
School football team opens its
2013 season one week from
Friday (Aug. 23) against AGWSR. The Spartans are coming off a 3-5 season that saw it
barely miss a second straight
playoff berth. The Spartans
opened practice last week with
nearly 40 athletes out. Coach
Brent Thoren enters his second year coaching the squad
and has a team that returns its
leading passer (Brock Rohler)
and second-leading rusher
(Bryce Moats). Pictured are
the Spartans in practice last
week, before they donned pads
for the first time. (John Jensen/
