Murra surprised by Bond vote
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER — Grundy
Center Community School District
Superintendent
Cassi
Murra
admitted being surprised by the
result of last Tuesday’s bond election
but vowed to continue to assess the
district’s facilities needs.
Voters overwhelmingly turned
down the proposal, which would
have allowed the District to build
a classroom addition onto its
elementary building and both a
practice gymnasium and fine arts
addition onto the secondary building.
Needing 60 percent support to pass,
the bond issue drew yes votes from
just 412 of the 975 voters who gave
an opinion on the measure.
“I was surprised by the margin,”
Murra said. “Everyone that attended
the information sessions seemed to
be supportive.”
The fourth-year superintendent
said the district sent mailings to
residents in an effort to get as
much accurate information about
the proposed project as possible
to the voters, though she felt some
information that came out in days
leading up to the election was
inaccurate.
Ron Saak, who was one of two
newcomers elected to the School
Board, had spoken out asking voters
to turn down the proposal.
“It was clear that the voters were
not in favor of the proposed building
plan,” he said. “However, I think that
most voters are in favor of spending
money in areas that directly impact
our students.”
Saak said the time has come for
the School District to reevaluate its
needs.
“I feel that we need to conduct
a comprehensive needs assessment
and involve a large cross-section
of the community to determine
what academic and extracurricular needs we have as a School
District,” he said. “It is time to put
our differences aside, come together
as a maroon and white community,
and do what is in the best interest of
our students.”
Murra said that could take time.

Council accepts
Riesberg resignation
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER — The
Grundy Center City Council
unanimously voted to accept the
resignation of City Clerk Rich
Riesberg at its regular Monday
meeting.
Riesberg,
who
had
been
Grundy Center’s city clerk for 15
years, submitted his resignation
last
Wednesday.
Television
station KWWL reported that the
Iowa Department of Criminal
Investigation (DCI) had visited City
Hall the same day as Riesberg’s
resignation, though no information
has been released connecting the
two events. An Iowa Courts Online
search showed no entries under his
name other than one minor traffic
violation more than 10 years ago.
Council met in closed session with
Rich Riesberg
City Attorney John Harris to discuss
a personnel issue prior to accepting Reisberg’s resignation, though it is
unknown whether he was the topic of discussion. Once the closed session
was reopened, it was announced that no action had been taken at that time.
On the same resolution accepting Riesberg’s resignation, Kristy Sawyer
was appointed acting city clerk. The Council also passed a resolution
removing Riesberg’s name from financial signature cards and adding
Councilman Brian Buhrow and Public Works Director Dan Bangasser to the
cards.
City Council accepted Riesberg’s resignation without comment.
IN OTHER BUSINESS, the Council approved a contract with Fox
Engineering for a study of the city’s water and sanitary sewer systems. The
$87,500 project will include mapping, smoke testing and televising in the
sewer system as well as mapping and creation of a model of the water system.
The study does not cover any potentially needed repairs to the system.
“It will at least give us an idea if we want to do any sort of capital
improvement plan,” Bangasser said.
Money for the project will come from reserve money as will as continuing
project money that has been set aside in the past.
Council also had a brief discussion about the possibility of purchasing
body-worn microphones and cameras for city police officers. Police Chief
Brock Gilbert said there had been discussion about this possibility before,
with the chief concern about the plan being storage of data.
“Down the road I think it will have to be looked at again,” he said.
Gilbert said the city’s patrol cars currently have dash-mounted cameras,
though they use outdated VHS technology. He suggested that the bodymounted cameras could eventually replace those.
Bangasser said he has been approached about putting a Children at Play

Board hires firm to build tornado safe room
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY
CENTER
—
Construction on the Grundy Center
Junior/Senior High School tornado
safe room is expected to begin early
this fall after the District’s Board
of Directors approved a bid for
the work during last Wednesday’s
regular Board meeting.
Cardinal
Construction
of
Waterloo submitted the low bid
of $1,174,000 for the work, which
will put a tornado shelter on the
southeast side of the school.
Superintendent Cassi Murra said
several bids for the project, which
is partially funded by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), were under the project’s
estimated cost.
Board
discussion
centered
around what type of heating and
air conditioning system and what
type of flooring to install in the
building, which will also be used
for classroom space. Options
for heating and air conditioning
included both geothermal and more
traditional methods while flooring
options included tile and terrazzo.
Geothermal will cost the District
more to install short term, though
that money would be made back in
energy savings. Terrazzo flooring
costs more than tile but never needs
to be replaced. Murra said the bid
from Cardinal Construction included
both geothermal and terrazzo floors.
“Let’s go ahead and do both. It’s
under the cost (estimate) right now,”
Director Bob Johanns said.
An artist’s conception shows what the Grundy Center Junior/Senior High School tornado safe room could
look like.
The Board passed the proposal
unanimously.
Much of Wednesday’s meeting
was spent reviewing the District’s
comprehensive plan and district
goals. High on the list was
developing strategies to help
college-bound high school students
achieve better scores on the ACT
assessment.
“I think we, as a school district,
should do anything we can to
help kids get ready (for the test),”
Director Chad Mackie said. “It
could be worth thousands of dollars
in scholarships for them.”
Drawing the most lengthy
discussion was a long-term goal
(2013-15) to have students improve
10 percent over their current level.
“What are we comparing that
to?” Director Kelly Mathews asked.
“10 percent seems unrealistic.”
Elementary principal Lisa Miller
called the 10 percent improvement
goal “scary.”
“The teachers take this seriously,
but the wording of that goal … it’s
scary,” she said.
Mackie asked if the Board
should put an improvement range
down while Director Kent Venenga
suggested the Board put a starting
point down and then revise it.
Murra also asked who would be
held responsible if the District failed

to meet its goals.
“That’s what we need to figure
out,” Mathews said. “We need to
put down the goal and then the
accountability piece.”
After more than 40 minutes of
discussion, the Board decided to set
the target area and come back with
specifics.
Other goals included maintaining
fiscal stability, making such facility
needs are met and making sure the
School Board and administrators
have the tools and resources to
operate effectively.
The Board also approved a request
from the Academic Decathlon team
for a trip to New York City. Advisor
Don Osterhaus said all fees for the
trip will be students’ responsibility
and the group will not fundraise for
the trip.
Early graduation requests from
juniors Alana VanderKolk and
Paul Siefken were approved as
was an agreement with Ellsworth
Community College to allow GCHS
students to take college-credit
courses through the Iowa Fallsbased college.
The
Board
approved
a
recommendation to hire Amalie
Guldenpfennig as the District’s
speech coach and D.J. Norem as the
junior high baseball coach.
Several of the District’s new
teachers were on hand to meet the
Board. Following the meeting,
Board members toured District
facilities to review work done
during the summer months.

Program (ECP)
Grundy County farmers who experienced extreme damage to their
land from severe weather events
can file applications with the Grundy County Farm Service Agency
(FSA) office to receive cost share
assistance for repairs. This is done
by signing the required application,
identifying the damaged land on an
aerial photograph, and completing a
fact sheet. Sign up started on September 5th and ends November 4th.
Producers with damaged land will
need to sign the required forms and
have the land inspected prior to starting any work to repair the damage,
which will include technical assistance to determine what is needed to
rehabilitate the cropland. Producers
not completing the required forms
and whose damage was not inspected prior to starting the repairs could
be ineligible and cost share could be

From The
Cheap Seats
It has been a week now since the school bond issue threatened to tear our
community apart. The time has come to forgive and forget.
One of the things that I quickly learned to like about our community
when I came three years ago was
how compatible with one another the
people were. Sure there were disputes,
but for the most part I always felt like
people wanted to do what was best for
our community.
Therein lay the problem for the
past few weeks. Each person wanted
to do what they felt was best for the
community so much that they lost the
perspective of objectively looking at
other people’s views.
I was lucky in a sense. As
somebody who lives outside the local
school district I did not have to take
a side on the school issue. That made
reporting on the issue objectively
fairly easy. While I am in favor of
By JOHN JENSEN
doing everything we can to make our
kids’ educational experience the best it can be, I also believe in being wise
when spending money.
I must admit that I was caught off-guard when things started getting
heated. The weeks leading up to the bond issue had been quiet ... surprisingly
quiet in my mind. I knew there were two sides to the issue, but for weeks
we heard little more than people talking about how they feel. I was asked
countless times how I felt, and usually answered that I was glad I didn’t have
to vote on it. I will admit, however, that I truly feel I could have handled
things better in the paper when things became heated.
Now that things have settled down, and voters have opted not to support
the issue, the time has come to assess our needs. This is a good time to do
that, with two brand new school board members and a third who has only
been on the board a few months. I think we’ll see some new ideas come
forward.
It is important for this board to reassess the School District’s needs. If
we can truly expect class sizes of around 60 students (as we have had the
past few years), additional space at the elementary building is something the
Board needs to look at. And if, as they are now, some junior high and high
school physical education classes are being held at the upper elementary,
additional gymnasium space may be needed at the secondary building.
Though the public was involved in creating the construction plan that
did not pass muster with the voters, it seemed like many people did not
feel they had enough input into the plan. It is fair to say that no plan is
going to be supported by everybody, though it is important that something
be put together that as many people as possible can support. With a bond
issue needing 60 percent support to pass, and a percentage of voters never
supporting a measure that would raise their taxes, there is not a lot of room
to have two distinct sides. There must be a plan that nearly everybody can
The hard work remains
First of all, a thank you to all of those who came out to vote on Tuesday
afternoon/evening. Whether you were pleased with the outcomes, or not
so much, the fact that you exercised your right to vote shows that you care
about the direction of our community.
The easy job has been accomplished. That was, to show that the advertised plan really wasn’t about what is in the best interest of our students and
their education. The hard job now remains. That is for us as a community to
put our differences aside and come together with a plan that does accomplish
these goals. I am confident that the energy and motivation can be rekindled.
I say this because over 30 percent of this community chose to make their
view known, a result that has not been seen in many years.

I hate to go off on this tangent again, but it seems the time to do it is before
too many questions arise.
I’m sure a few of you are disappointed by our coverage about the
resignation of Rich Riesberg from his position as Grundy Center’s city clerk.
I was as surprised as anybody to hear he had left ... he had been a great
resource for us at the paper. I am also not immune to the gossip and rumors
that have gone through the community.
The fact is that what you are hearing are only that ... rumors ... and rumors
are not always true. The one fact we know is that Riesberg tendered his
resignation last Wednesday and that City Council accepted it Monday night.
Though there are reports that the Department of Criminal Investigation was
at City Hall that day, we have do not know what they were looking for nor
whether they found anything. And there’s a chance we never will.
As much as I like Grundy Center, I have a concern that our community
convicts people of things long before they are so much as charged with them,
let alone convicted. I can think of several cases of that in the past couple of
years. The court of public opinion is always powerful ... in Grundy Center it
seems to be very powerful.
What has become far too prevalent of late is nothing short of gossip,
and it goes far beyond this situation. It seems to have exploded in the past
week, first with the school bond issue and school board vote, and then with
Riesberg’s resignation. Most of what we hear is either, A) Exaggerated, B)
Blatantly wrong or, C) Personal stuff that is none of anybody else’s business.
I spent a few minutes looking up passages from the Bible that allude to
spreading gossip or rumors. All translations are from the New International
Version. From the Old Testament, Proverbs 11:13 states, “A gossip betrays a
confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret;” and Proverbs 18:8 states,
“The words of gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man’s
inmost parts.” The New Testament goes on, with Matthew 7:1 noting simply,
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” Each and every one of us needs to
heed these words every now and then.
It is normal to be curious. In fact, curiosity is what drove me into
journalism — I wanted to know everything I could know about as many
things as I could. Even when I wrote sports, I had interest in things like
politics and both state and municipal government. I want to know what’s
going on far more than the average person does. But I also want to know
information substantiated through facts ... facts are information can and will
be reported in our newspaper.
I would be lying if I told you that gossip has absolutely no value to us at
the newspaper. The fact is that some gossip is accurate to a degree. Gossip
that is not personal in nature can lead us to news that we can verify and then
publish. It doesn’t happen very often, but it does happen. Publisher Clint
Poock and I discuss nearly everything we hear privately, determining whether
or not what we have heard is, 1) credible and, 2) newsworthy. Rest assured,
that we have had a couple of interesting meetings leading up to this week’s
paper, determining how we were going to cover what has transpired. With
Clint and I having been in newspapers more than three decades combined,
and with my semi-decent understanding of the legal system (mostly through
news stories I read from other papers), we have a pretty good idea of what
we might be able to turn into a story.
That said, we are watching to see if any facts do emerge. If this is anything
like a similar situation that arose earlier this year when the AGWSR School
District superintendent resigned unexpectedly, it is entirely possible that the
reason for Riesberg’s resignation may never be known.
Do not believe everything you hear.
So with that said, make sure you contact any or all of the newly elected
school board members. Tell them what you think and what ideas you have
to insure that a viable plan is developed for a 2014 vote. Take the time to go
to a school board meeting. Educate yourself with and about the issues and
ask the Administration “do your plans have what is in the best interest of our
students and their education?”
We all should feel fortunate to live a community that cares about our
future.

September 16, 2013
To the Editor,
Recent comments regarding the
proposed Grundy Center Community Schools bond issue to expand facilities to replace the aging ‘old’ Upper Elementary building made some
unfortunate and inaccurate depictions of the Grundy Family YMCA,
and I believe a short review of the
YMCA’s history might be a wise endeavor to help resolve some of the
confusion regarding the decade-long
relationship between the school district and YMCA.
When the school district was provided exceptional fitness equipment
by the National Fitness Foundation
early in 2001 for the use of its students, school officials had a vision of
sharing wellness programming with
the community, and wanted to make
the equipment available to community members. The school district,
led at that time by Superintendant
Jerry Waugh, reached out to local
employers and the city to determine
how best to make use of the crosstraining equipment, realizing that
the school district could not alone
carry out the mission of bringing fitness education to the community. A
committee explored various options
for partnerships, and the opportunity
to partner with the Blackhawk Family YMCA was determined to be the
most favorable for the community of
Grundy Center.
The relationship meant that everyone in the area had access to
first-class fitness equipment in a safe
environment for a modest price, and
the YMCA soon grew to include so
much more – youth and adult classes,
recreation programs, before and after school child care, and many other
programming resources other communities our size would be envious
of. A typical weekday morning at
5:30 a.m. or 6:30 a.m. finds a variety
of people in the high school utilizing
the Y, from people in their twenties
and thirties, to senior citizens who
depend on the Y to provide access
to strength training equipment and
basic fitness classes that help them
maintain strength, balance, and flexibility- in other words, supporting
the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle.
The collaboration with the YMCA
that allows our public school facilities to provide a key ingredient for a
healthy lifestyle for all citizens is a
model for other small communities.
It is a model that has worked for the
past ten years, and is to be celebrated
as part of the ‘good life in Grundy
Center’ that allows people convenient access to support for healthy
lifestyles. Continuation of collaborative efforts among public and private entities is critical in moving our
community and school in the direction that is best for all. Let’s not tear
down but build up together.
Sincerely,
Mary Doak

"A HIDDEN TREASURE"
AGWSR announces Homecoming
king, queen candidates, activities
Pictured are left to right shows Alyssa Hames and Ali Gerbracht.
2012-2013 Word Wizards
Once again AGWSR fourth and
fifth graders were challenged last
school year to read as much as they
could. The students who read the most
would have the honor of having their
names inscribed on the plaque in the
hallway.
We are proud to announce the winners for the 2012-2013 school year.
Alyssa Hames in the fourth grade read
1,153,069 words. While Ali Gerbracht
in fifth grade read 2,256,887 words.
Ali has the honor of having her name
on the plaque twice. She read the most
words as a fourth grader, and then repeated the feat in fifth grade.
Kaicee Rotgers holds the distinction of being the only student who has
read over three million words. As a
fifth grader she read 3,364,849 words
to be precise.
It’s always exciting to see students
reading and even more exciting to see
them reading this much!

Local blood drive
set for Sept. 23
Volunteer blood donors play a vital role in the community health care
system. Blood donors are needed
every day to ensure the right blood
product is on the shelf the moment
it is needed. It is difficult to predict
when and exactly how much blood is
needed, which is why it is important
for volunteer blood donors to make
blood donations on a regular basis.
Eligible donors must be 16 years
of age or older, weigh at least 120
pounds, and be in general good
health. Donors should also eat a
good meal and drink plenty of fluids
prior to donating.
You can make a life-saving blood
donation at an upcoming blood
drive:

Iowans encouraged to think
safety this harvest season
DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary
of Agriculture Bill Northey today encouraged farmers and those living in
and traveling through rural Iowa to
stay safe this harvest season. Northey issued the reminder as part of National Farm Safety and Health Week
which runs from September 15 to 21.
“Harvest is slightly delayed due to
the cool, wet start of the growing season, but farmers will soon be busy in
the fields and on the roads so it is important everyone in rural Iowa keep
safety in mind,” Northey said. “Harvest is a great time on the farm, but
it is also very busy and can be stressful. It is important everyone working on the farm and Iowans traveling
through the rural parts of our state
stay alert and take the necessary time
to make sure we have another successful and safe harvest season.”
Tips for farmers include using the
slow moving vehicle emblem on all
propane

appropriate tractors and equipment
and making sure they are in good
shape and visible. Also, be aware of
and avoid flowing grain suffocation
hazards while unloading bins and
wagons. Retrofitting older tractors
with a rollover protective structure
is another important safety measure.
Harvest season is also a time
when those traveling through rural
Iowa need to be alert to potentially
slow moving equipment and should
be prepared to take a little more time
if necessary.
The Iowa Department of Transportation has a video entitled “Rural
Roadway Crashes – They’re Preventable” that has more information
on how to safely travel Iowa’s rural
roads. It is available on their website
at http://www.iowadot.gov/mvd/ods/
RuralRoadCrashes.html.
More farm safety information is
available from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach at http://

Timothy Christian School kindergarteners, Isaac Schipper and Teagan
Sowers beat the heat by playing dodgeball with sponges soaked with
water during P.E. class.
Timothy Christian students beat the heat
Temperatures and spirits both
soared at Timothy Christian School
the past few weeks. While the blazing temperatures could have been
discouraging, teachers worked together to ensure that school hours
were still productive and fun. Anticipation and excitement filled the
air on Friday, Aug. 31 as students
prepared for P.E. class. Their teacher, Alison Steinmeyer had promised
something special. Gathering on the
lawn, the whole school conquered
the heat with buckets of water and
over a hundred water balloons.
Learning important lessons in teamwork and listening, students were
taught a variety of water games,
including variations of duck, duck
goose, freeze tag, and dodge-ball.
Events concluded with several allschool relay races in which both
children and teachers competed.
Despite the high temperatures, everyone left school that day in a great
mood.

Coupon Queen
Mary Kenyon at
Dike Library
Self ascribed Coupon Queen
Mary Kenyon will discuss her new
book, "Coupon Crazy : The Science,
The Savings, and the Stories Behind America's Extreme Obession"
at Dike Public Library on Monday,
Sep. 30, at 6:30 p.m., in the Kruger
Meeting Room.
Mary is a 30-year veteran of the
coupon and rebate world. Her book
delves into the history of the coupon
world that on closer inspection was
neither glamorous nor lucrative as
current television shows depict. Attendees will learn the history of an
era when trash was cash and the effort to save money wasn't just a pastime but a profession. Mary should
know, she lived it for over 30 years.
This event is free and open to the
public. Refreshments will be served.
Books will be available for purchase
and signing at the event. The library
also has copies of Mary's book for
pre-reading.
Rural Water
and Dike
At the August council meeting
council members voted to sign a
contract with Central Iowa Water.
The community of Dike will receive water from Central Iowa Water
coming from Waverly Iowa.
At present, Central Iowa Water
officials are determining a location
site for an additional water tower.
This second tower will be constructed somewhere east of 7th
street. Our water tower in city park
will remain in operation along with
the new tower. We will not go on
rural water until that tower is completed.
At this time we are using our
good well water and in case of any
emergency water shortage, we have
a line with capable access to the
Central Iowa Water supply.

Sanitary sewer
The sanitary sewer system in the
City of Dike is of major concern for
City officials. The start of working at
fixing one of the overload concerns
will start with the downspout and
sump pump inspection programs.
The smoke testing has started and
city employees will be identifing
any cross conections of sump pumps
and roof drains flowing into the sanitary sewer system.
The purpose of making the corrections is to prevent backups and
sewer overflows to basements and or
raw sewage into the environment.
These test will assist in locating
breaks to defects in the sewer system. During the test, you may see
smoke coming from vent stacks on
buildings or holes in the bround. The
smoke has no odor, is non-toxic, non
staining , does not create a fire hazard and will dissipate in a few minutes.
Before the smoke test, water
should be poured into basement floor
drains and into any unused sinks.
This will seal the drain traps so that
smoke will not enter you building
through the drain.
If smoke should enter your building during the test, it probably means
there are defects in the plumbing that
could allow dangerous sewer gas to
enter. Determine the location of the
smoke and notify the city to meet
with the inspectors. Open doors and
windows to ventilate any smoke that
may have entered the building.
Any questions should be directed
to City Hall 319-989 -2291

Dike Council discusses
stray animal ordinance
By DIANE PAIGE
Dike Correspondent
DIKE — The Wednesday night
council meeting was opened at 7
p.m. by Mayor Mike Soppe with
council members Chad Cutsforth,
Rob Weissenfluh, Wayne Paige,
Nick Cleveland and Luke Osterhaus along with City Attorney Gary
Jones.
Visitor Brent Bovy, pharmacist
from Reinbeck introduced himself
and informed the council that he
will have a flu shot clinic Oct. 7 at
the Dike Community Building with
shots given from 4 to7 p.m. More
information will be provided later
about this event.
Fire Chief Chris Heerkes reported that the department will approve
two new members, Tim Fobian and
Corey Mead.
The council approved the
amendment to the Low to Moderate
Income Plan.
It also discussed laws on the
books about stray dogs and cats.
Council members noted that the
large number of feral cats around
town is a concern. When and if
stray animals are picked up, they
will be held for three days and then
taken to the Human Society. It was
mentioned that all pets should be licensed with City Hall. Those feeding strays are also responsible for
those being licensed.
City superintendent, Shane
Metz, reported on the many happenings taking place or that are going to happen in town. On Sept. 17
smoke testing will start on Sump
pump dumping. This is a big concern and regulations need to be enforced.
Metz said he knows the city has
a policy in place that states lawn
clippings should not be blown on
city streets and said, before the
year's first snowfall, he would like
to to add to the policy that snow
removed from driveways and sidewalks should not be pushed to the
streets. Metz will also look into the
purchase of a small walk behind
snow blower.
A drinking fountain is being installed at the City park and as the
Christmas season approaches a tree
will find a home on Main St.
On the books we also have an ordinance that requires home owners
to fix and or replace damaged and
dangerous sidewalks.
The city council has voted to use
rural water and at this time we are
still on city water and the change
won't take place until next year.
Any questions about this information or other city concerns should
be directed to city hall.

Harvest
Farmers will soon be in the fields
and travelers on rural Iowa roads are
reminded about safety. Stay alert and
watch for those slow moving vehicles, tractors, combines and trucks.
We all need to be aware and take just
a little more time to reach our destinations.
Farmers, be sure to get those slow
moving signs for your tractors, wagons and any other slower vehicles
used on the roadways.
Lets keep our county accident
free this harvest season.

Watered-Down Life
There are many ways in which technology has improved our lives. E-mail
allows us to keep in touch with friends
and family more readily than traditional
mail. Cell phones allow us to be reached
almost anywhere on the planet and are
a boon to both commerce and communication. With smart phones and I-Pads
we have a whole world of information at
our fingertips with just a few keystrokes.
But, the downside to all of this technology is that it tends to interfere with our
face-to-face interactions, watering down
our lives. Consider how often we are trying to have a heart-to-heart conversation
and are interrupted by the cell phone.
Even worse is the person who refuses to
put down their phone during a conversation, insisting that they can attend to
two things at once. Many people nowadays have trouble focusing on one thing
at a time, no doubt in part because they
have grown up constantly multi-tasking
and never really having to focus on just
one thing. The real downside to this is
that multi-taskers miss out on the experience of truly savoring life. There are
times when we need to multi-task; the
mother cooking dinner and looking after
her children may not have the luxury of
doing just one thing. But, there are other
times when we really need to just do one
thing, and do it well, such as driving a
car or having an important conversation.
– Christopher Simon
“You are worried and upset about many things, but few
things are needed—or indeed only one.”

ORDINANCE NO. 3
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DIKE, IOWA,
BY ADDING A NEW SECTION IN REGARD TO
SUMP PUMP AND GROUNDWATER STANDARDS
BE IT ENACTED by the City Council of the City
of Dike, Iowa:
The Code of Ordinances of the City of Dike,
Iowa, is amended by adding a new Chapter 10 to Title VI entitled SUMP PUMP AND
GROUNDWATER STANDARDS, which is
hereby adopted to read as follows:
6.10.1 INTENT.
(A) The intent of this chapter is to establish rules
and regulations governing the installation, use
and discharge of sump pumps or other groundwater conveyance systems and to establish the
penalty structures required to enforce said rules
and regulations.
(B) The rules and regulations governing the use
of sump pumps or other groundwater conveyance systems are being established:
(1) To set forth uniform requirements for the installation, use and discharge of sump pumps or
groundwater conveyance systems.
(2) To prevent the introduction of clean surface
water, including but not limited to, water from
roof or cellar drains, springs, basement sump
pumps and French drains.
(3) Because the City finds it essential to the
maintenance of health, minimization of damage
to property, and to maintain and preserve the
life and capacity of the municipal infrastructure.
6.10.2 PROHIBITED WATER.
(A) It shall be unlawful for any owner, occupant
or user of any premises to direct into or allow
any storm water, surface water, ground water,
well water or water from industrial or commercial air conditioning systems (residential properties may have a twenty (20) gallon per day
maximum discharge from air conditioning systems) to drain into the Wastewater Collection
System. No rainspout, or other form of surface
drainage and no foundation drainage or sump
pump shall be connected or discharged into any
Wastewater Collection System.
(B) Any new or existing construction in which a
sump and pump have been or will be installed
shall be required to install, inside the structure,
a rigid pipe connection discharge in accordance
with this Chapter. It shall be unlawful to maintain any connection with the sanitary sewer carrying roof water, ground water, surface water or
any other natural precipitation.
6.10.3 SUMP, PUMP AND RIGID PIPE: METHOD OF INSTALLATION.
(A) A discharge pipe shall be installed through
the outside foundation wall of the building with
rigid pipe (plastic, copper or galvanized) one (1)
inch inside diameter minimum, without vales
or quick connection that would alter the path
of discharge. The discharge shall be directed
away from the foundation.
(B) No discharge shall be directed so as to impact neighboring properties.
(C) Where a sump pit exists in any building it
shall have a pump installed with rigid piping as
specified above.
(D) Any plumber licensed in the City of Dike
who knowingly installs a sump, pump and/or
piping that is not in conformance with this ordinance may lose their plumbing license privileges in the City for a period of one (1) year,
following the opportunity for a hearing before
the City Council.
6.10.4INSPECTIONS.
Property owners shall allow a City employee
or a designated representative, satisfactory to
the City, to inspect the building to confirm and
document that there is no sump pump or other
prohibited discharge into the Wastewater Collection system. The City may periodically re-
inspect any building or premises to determine
compliance with the requirements of this Chapter.
6.10.5 REMOVAL OF CONNECTIONS.
(A) Any property owner who previously made
any connection or installation in violation of this
ordinance shall immediately remove such connection or correct such an installation. If not
removed or corrected within 30 calendar days
after notice of the violation has been delivered
personally or by certified mail to the owner, the
City shall impose a surcharge in the amount
provided by this Chapter. The time frame for
making correction may be extended upon approval of the City Manager for up to ninety (90)
days for cause, beyond the initial 30 day period.
(B) The owner of a building or premises found
to not be in compliance with this ordinance during periodic re-inspections shall be subjected
to a surcharge as provided herein starting from
the previous date of inspection.
6.10.6SURCHARGE.
Any property owner or contractor/builder, refusing to allow the property under their control to
be inspected, in accordance with this Chapter,
in order to determine compliance, shall within
30 days of the date that admittance to the property is refused or denied, immediately become
subject to a monthly surcharge, which shall be
applied to the sanitary sewer component of
their utility bill. This surcharge shall commence
on the 1st day of the month following the month
when either the property owner or contractor/
builder refused to allow the property under their
control to be inspected by the City or to otherwise validate compliance in accordance with
this Chapter. This surcharge shall continue as
long as no documentation satisfactory to the
City to ascertain compliance with this Chapter
has been provided to the Building Official. This
surcharge is intended to offset the added costs
associated with having to treat and collect clear
water unnecessarily when the status of a property’s connection to the sanitary sewer system
cannot be ascertained.
(A) A surcharge of One Hundred Dollars
($100.00) per month is hereby imposed on every sewer bill to property owners for the following conditions:
(1) Not in full compliance with this ordinance.
(2) Refusal of property inspection.
6.10.7 NUISANCE.
The City may require a property to connect its
sump pump discharge line to a City storm sewer or drainage tile, if available, and if, in the determination of the City it is necessary because
the discharge from the sump pump is creating a
nuisance or hazardous situation.
6.10.8 PENALTY.
Any person violating any provisions of this
Chapter shall become liable to the City for any
expense, loss or damage occasioned the City
by reason of such violation. The City will also
retain any and all civil remedies including, but
not limited to, injunction or abatement actions
to remedy a violation.
6.10.9 HEARING.
Any person aggrieved by any provision of this
Chapter must request a hearing before the City
Council within 30 days following an inspection
or the imposition of the surcharge. The findings
of the City Council shall be final.
Any person aggrieved by the actions of the City
Council under the provisions of this Chapter
may seek such relief through the Courts as provided by law.
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE. If any section, provision or part of this ordinance shall be adjudged
invalid or unconstitutional such adjudication
shall not affect the validity of the ordinance as a
whole or any section, provisions or part thereof
not adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.
WHEN EFFECTIVE. This ordinance shall be in
effect from and after its final passage, approval
and publication as provided by law.
Passed by the Council this 11 day of September, 2013, and approved this 11 day of September, 2013.

Gladbrook-Reinbeck teacher earns
statewide art teaching award
REINBECK — Art Educators of
Iowa (AEI) is pleased to announce
that Kassi Nelson, high school art educator at Gladbrook-Reinbeck High
School will be honored as its 2013
Outstanding Secondary Art Educator
at the state art education conference
on Oct. 12 in Cedar Rapids.
Nelson's dedication to art education is clear from the letters that were
received in support of her nomination
for the award. Mrs. Nelson received
particularly high praises from for high
school art teacher and now colleague
Ronda Sternhagen (of Grundy Center), Gladbrook-Reinbeck, Administrative Assistant Pam Heithoff, and
Madonna Wilson, Head of the English
Department at Gladbrook-Reinbeck.
"I have known Mrs. Nelson for
a number of years: first as her high
school art teacher, and now as her
colleague and friend." shared Sternhagen. "Kassi found herself "living"
in the art room her junior and senior
year in high school. I was so proud of
the work she was able to produce in
such a short time. She went off to college to become an art educator. I was
extremely proud of her, and excited
to have her "follow in my footsteps."
In a fortunate twist of fate, Kassi took
a teaching position in a neighboring
school district."
Heithoff commented that she has,
"known Kassi for several years and
can attest to her high quality as an
educator both in, and outside of the
classroom. The art classes at Gladbrook-Reinbeck have a waiting list of
students wanting to get in." Heithoff
goes on to say, "Her students show
great respect for her and the wide variety of innovative projects she teaches them. Her creativity is endless and
she helps students to step out of the
box and try new things each day."
"Kassi collaborates with G-R administrators, teachers, and parents to
best serve the needs of our students.
However, over the past year she also
has collaborated with secondary art
teachers from Grundy Center High
School, Dike-New Hartford High
School, and Aplington-Parkersburg
High School once a month to align
common core curriculum for the four
schools," Wilson said.
"Kassi knows technology! She is
not afraid to learn more about what is
new, but also willing to inform others.
Two years ago our principal asked
Kassi to be one of three teachers to
experiment with the Canvas program
to see if the high school wanted to
adopt the program. G-R did adopt
Canvas, and with the help of Kassi
we survived the first year!"
Nelson reflected upon the receiving word of the award, "I am truly
honored! Getting this award means so
much to me! I love my job, students,
and school! I am so thankful to be a
part of the art world!”
In addition to responsibilities in
the classroom, Mrs. Nelson has previously served as Secretary for Art Educators of Iowa. It is easy to sense that
Nelson is a well respected leader in
the art classroom and beyond.

From page 1
With two brand new Board members
and a third who has only been on the
Board a few months, there will need
to be training for those members.
Down the road, Murra said she
feels the areas addressed by the
construction plan are still needs of
the District, noting that preschool,
transitional kindergarten, TAG,
AEA services and other groups need
room to work from. She said there
is also a need for additional physical
education space at the secondary
building.
“As the bigger classes come up to
the secondary, we are very fortunate
that we have the tornado safe room
(to be built soon),” she said.
Murra added that the School
Board needs to look at the Upper
Elementary building and what must
be done in the short term to make
that building usable, including
renting a boiler.
“We have school programs and
partner programs in that building,”
she said. “Decisions have to be
made how to meet those short-term
needs.”
Murra said the Upper Elementary

sign on E Avenue between Second
and Fourth Streets. Van Wert
indicated that there is no requirement
for Council to pass an ordinance
before installing such a sign and
Gilbert agreed that there are a lot of
children in that neighborhood.
Council also approved a
liquor license for the Chamber of
Commerce and transferring the
native wine permit for the Chamber
building could be made viable if the
Board decides to invest in it.
“It could be used for many years
to come, but it would need some
additional work to keep it that way,”
she said.
CANVASS TURNS UP
ADDITIONAL VOTES
When the Grundy County Board
of Supervisors canvassed Tuesday’s
school vote, one candidate found
himself moving up two spots in the
final tally. Saak, who was originally
reported to have received 538 votes,
received an additional 100 votes
during the canvass.
That brought him to 638 votes
and in first place, ahead of Chad
Mackie (596 votes) and Brent
Ascher (547), both of whom were
also elected. Incumbent Vicki
Knaack received 510 votes and was
not reelected while William Steding
received 335 votes. Incumbent Kelly
Mathews was reelected after running
unopposed to fill the two years
remaining on an unexpired term.
The vote reporting error did not
change winners, only the position
they finished in.
of Commerce Girls’ Night Out event.
Council approved appointments
of Jason Kirkpatrick to the Library

The City Council will host a
special meeting next Monday,
Sept. 23. During that meeting, it is
expected to set the date of a public
hearing for a bond issue that would
pay for new Grundy Center street
lights.

Bethany and Jessica Lippert pace each other as they lead the Iowa FallsAlden AGWSR girls' team at the Bobcat Invitational last Thursday
night in Marshalltown.
IF-A/AGWSR, Grundy Center compete
at Bobcat Cross Country Invitational
By PATTI RUST
Sports Correspondent
MARSHALLTOWN – Although
the course at Marshalltown
Community College is considered
a tough run by most, the weather
was much more fitting for a good
run than at other recent meets when
the Iowa Falls-Alden/AGWSR and
Grundy Center cross country teams
converged on the site last Thursday.
Running amongst teams from all
classes provided great competition
and opportunity for the pushed
several runners to their personal best
times.
“We had a nice night to run with
great competition,” Iowa FallsAlden/AGWSR girls’ coach Jamie
Maxwell said. “The girls went out
and ran their own race and finished
respectively compared to the larger
schools. I was impressed with their
mental toughness tonight as five
runners (Bethany Lippert, Eri Siems,
Brittany Fisher, Amanda Smith, and
Karolin Kreutzer) still came in faster
than last week at Mason City.”
Bethany Lippert led the Cadets
with a 26th place finish. Jessica
Lippert went 47th, Taylor Risius
100th, and Eri Siems 101st. Desiree
Folsom and Britanny Fisher were
108th and 109th respectively, and
Taylor Dougan finished 125th.
“I am pleased with their
performances tonight and look to see
more improvements as our season
progresses,” Maxwell said.
Landon Boomsma led the IF-A/
AGWSR boy’s team with a 62nd
place finish. Jacob Sundholm was
83rd, Alan Bruflodt 99th, Miguel
Reyes 105th, and Tyler Weeks 109th.
Chandler Krukow went 118th and
Owen Abkes 121st.
Tiana Saak led the Grundy Center
girls with her 80th place finish.
Hannah Stumberg was 86th, Harper
Wells 107th, and Dalyn Maxson
110th. Mellina Wrage finished 113th
and Kate Ross was 130th.
Espen Cleveland led the way for
the Spartan boys’ team with a 66th
place finish. Finn Cleveland crossed
the finish in the 112th place spot, and
Dylan Hendricks went 117th. Jack
Stumberg was 133rd, Grant Weldon
135th, and Jesper Holke-Farnam
136th.
“Marshalltown, a course no one
seems to enjoy, was surprising,”
Grundy Center coach Chris Henely
said. “We ran faster and competed
well. Several athletes had personal
bests and continue to improve.
Looking forward I expect us to
continue that trend. As Districts
draw nearer we need to be more
aware of our place in the race and
how to improve that.”
Both IF-A/AGWSR and Grundy
Center were scheduled to run at one
of the largest cross country meets in
the state, the Ballard Invitational, on
Monday, Sept. 16. IF-A/AGWSR
will also compete at the BCLUW
Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 21.

Rebels compete at Benton Invitational
By PATTI RUST
ATKINS – The GladbrookReinbeck runners traveled to Atkins
on Saturday to compete in the
Benton Cross Country Invitational.
“This was a tough meet in many
aspects for Gladbrook-Reinbeck,”
Coach Andy McQuillen said.
“We faced several 3A schools
that are traditional powerhouses
in cross country (Benton, Solon,
Mount
Vernon-Lisbon,
and
Williambsurg). Couple that with the
weather we have faced as of late,
homecoming, and having a meet
cancelled this week, and we saw
some tougher results.”
Nicole Adair led the Rebel Varsity
girls with her 53rd place finish. Meg
Edler was 55th, Hannah Martin 57th,
Kelsey Schwartz 66th, and Amber
Berendes 68th.
Tyler Bovy ran to a 27th place
finish for the Rebel Varsity boys.
Vasya Strobehn went 64th and Cole
Goos was 69th.
“I really felt that the kids
competed, but they were drained
mentally and physically,” McQuillen
said. “On a positive note, I really
felt that our middle school runners
competed very strong from top to
bottom. Max Schweppe ran a great
race and finished sixth overall. And
again, Tyler Bovy competed very
strong in a tough race. The Benton
meet will make Tyler a tougher
runner later in the season.
It is still a young season and
we will bounce back next week at
BCLUW. The weather is starting to
cooperate and we are continuing to
improve.” The Rebel runners are scheduled
to compete at the BCLUW
Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 21.

The Grundy Register
DIKE — It took a team from
another state, one ranked as high
as No. 2 nationally by one publication, to end Dike-New Hartford's
long winning streak. And it took
D-NH much less time to reestablish that it is one of the top teams
in any class, if not the top one, in
Iowa.
Last Tuesday the Wolverines
saw St. James Academy of Lenexa,
Kan. snap its 61-match winning
streak with a straight sets, 25-23,
27-25, 25-16, victory before a full
gymnasium at Dike-New Hartford
High School. Both teams entered
the match ranked in the top 10 nationally by two publications. St.
James was ranked No. 2 by Maxpreps.com and No. 3 by PrepVolleyball.com while the Wolverines
were ranked No. 4 by PrepVolleyball.com and No. 8 by MaxPreps.
"They’re very good,” D-NH
coach Diane Harms said of the
Thunder. “They’re very aggressive, they stay aggressive.”
Harms said playing a team as
strong as St. James gives her team
an idea of what areas it needs to
improve. Most apparent, she said,
was that the Wolverines need to become a better blocking team.
“Their hitters are very good,
they did a nice job of cutting
around the block and everything,
but we have to get stronger at our
blocking,” Harms said.
Between the teams no fewer
than six players are likely headed
to Division I universities to play
volleyball, including Dike-New
Hartford juniors Rachel Koop,
Brooke Morgan and Briana Weber, all of whom have made verbal
commitments, Koop and Weber to
UNI and Morgan to Wisconsin.
The Wolverines held their own
against St. James for the first two
sets. They trailed by only a single
point in the first set, 24-23, before
the Thunder put away the winner
and rallied from a 23-18 deficit in
the second to tie the score 25-25
before a pair of attack errors allowed St. James to pull out the
win. St. James controlled the third
set from the outset, jumping ahead
12-6 before the Wolverines used
their first timeout and leading by as
many as nine points late in the set.
Morgan unofficially led
the Wolverines with 16 kills in the
match. Other statistics were not
available from the match.

Realignment coming to
North Iowa Cedar League
Proposal would move Dike-New Hartford,
Aplington-Parkersburg to West Division
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
Realignment could move Dike-New Hartford into the same North Iowa
Cedar League division as Grundy Center as early as next year while also
altering the Spartans’ rivalry with Gladbrook-Reinbeck.
Grundy Center High School Principal Steve VanderPol reported on the
proposed realignment at last Wednesday’s school board meeting. He said
several possibilities had been discussed, the latest of which would moved
D-NH and Aplington-Parkersburg to the West Division while switching
Gladbrook-Reinbeck to the East.
The move, which has yet to be approved by League officials, was prompted by the NICL’s addition of Sumner-Fredericksburg for the 2014-15 school
year to replace South Tama, which is moving to the WaMaC next year. The
league also added Waterloo Columbus to the East Division this year to replace NU High, which closed at the end of the 2011-12 school year.
School Board discussion indicated that several scenarios were considered for the divisional breakdown of eight schools per side, including one
that would have rotated Aplington-Parkersburg, Dike-New Hartford and
Hudson as the final West Divison school. VanderPol said a major consideration was that A-P wished to keep its rivalry with neighboring Dike-New
Hartford intact.
Grundy Center Activities Director Rollie Ackerman noted that GC will
be able to keep its rivalry with Gladbrook-Reinbeck intact by playing nondivisional matches against the school.
The proposed alignment was set to be voted on by NICL principals and
athletic directors Thursday, with final approval from league superintendents
coming as early as Friday.

Spartans move to 2-2 with 40-8 trouncing of Belle Plaine Wolverine defense, passing
By PATTI RUST
key to 28-14 victory
GRUNDY CENTER – The
Grundy Center Spartans improve
to 2-2 on the season after their
40-8 trouncing of the Belle Plaine
Plainsmen Friday night at Spartan
Stadium.
The Spartans, strong on both
sides of the ball all night, held the
Belle Plaine offense at their four
yard line on their opening drive.
“As expected, Belle Plaine
came out ready to play,” Grundy
Center head coach Brent Thoren
said. “It was great to see us make
a goal line stand on the first series
of defense. That really set the tone
early in the game.” Grundy Center then got the
scoring started when Nick Mauer
ran a punt return 48 yards for a
touchdown with 2:59 left in the first
quarter.
“ We r e a l l y b u i l t o ff t h a t
momentum,” Coach Thoren said.
“Once we gained that energy, the
defense began to have consecutive
three and outs and that gave our
offense great field position to work
with.” The home team followed
their first score with an offensive
series ending in a five-yard Mauer
touchdown run with 1:11 left to go
in the first quarter. With no score in
the second quarter the teams went
to the locker rooms with a 12-0
Grundy Center lead.
In the second half the Spartans
opened up the lead, using both
their air and ground game to score
four touchdowns by four different
players. In the third period Brock
Rohler completed a 35-yard
touchdown pass to Lane Bangasser,
and connected with Jordan Stoner
for a 60-yard score.
“We opened up the passing
game, especially in the second half
and both Lane (Bangasser) and
Jordan (Stoner) had great games
and Brock (Rohler) really threw
the ball well to multiple people,”
Thoren said.
In the final quarter Bryce Moats
Nick Saak throws a block for Nick Mauer in Grundy Center's game against Belle Plaine Friday night, resulting in an early first quarter touchdown for the Spartans. (Patti Rust/The Grundy Register photo)
ran the ball 38 yards for Spartan
touchdown with 3:44 to go in the
game. Belle Plaine then scored
their only points of the night on a
65-yard touchdown pass from Trey
Squires to Vance Bohlen, followed
by a two-point conversion by the
pair. Bryce Flater closed out the
scoring for the night with a 63-yard
Spartan touchdown run with 2:09
to go, bringing the game to its 40-8
conclusion.
Rohler connected on 6-of-13
passes good for 159 yards. Stoner
caught two passes for 68 yards and
Bangasser two for 63 yards. The
259 yard Grundy Center rushing
effort was led by Jordan Clapp who
carried the ball seven times for 104
yards. Flater rushed for 65 yards
and Moats for 63.
“Anytime you get a district
win, it’s a big because these games
dictate positioning for qualifying
for the playoffs,” Thoren said. “We
have a big game with GMG Friday.
It will be their Homecoming game
and they are coming off a big win
verses North Tama. GMG is very
athletic and has a lot of speed, so
we need to have a great week of
practice.” The 2-2 Spartans will take on
1-3 GMG Friday night in Garwin.

Balanced running attack lifts Cougars
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
ACKLEY — Four AGWSR
backs scored touchdowns Friday as
the Cougars opened their Class A,
District 2 season with a 35-0 victory
over defending district champion
West Hancock.
The Cougars (4-0 overall, 1-0 in
the district) piled up 307 rushing
yards while holding West Hancock
(0-3, 0-1) to 138 yards.
The physical game featured 99
rushing attempts between the two
teams and not a single completed
pass. Four Cougar backs finished
with 46 yards or more while West
Hancock, which had won 21 of its
25 games the past two seasons, was
shut out for the third straight contest.
“This is probably the most physical game that we’ll have,” Cougar
coach Skip Eckhardt said. “They’re
going to come out and hit you in the
mouth.”
The Cougars took time to get going Friday, punting on two of their
first three possessions and needing
a fake punt to keep the third alive.
Meanwhile West Hancock, which
averaged just 57 yards of total offense in its first two games, was able
to drive the ball.
“I thought we came out mentally
flat as a son-of-a-gun and fiddleflopped around,” Eckhardt said. “We
had some big turnovers that got us
into it. It’s ugly, but it’s a win.”
Penalties slowed the Cougar offense, with five of their six infractions coming while on offense.
“Instead of getting seven and
eight (yards per carry), tonight we
were getting four and five … or three
and one-half … you can’t have 15yard penalties because you aren’t always going to get the nines, 10s and
20s. It might be four, five or 3.4 —
that’s good enough. You have to be
disciplined.”
Eckhardt added that his team
appeared “scared” in its first game
against an opponent that defeated it
last year.
“We’ll get better,” he said.
AGWSR held West Hancock to
two first downs and 56 yards of offense in the second half after allowing seven first downs and 82 yards in
the first 24 minutes.
“Offensively they beat us up a
little on defense at first because we
weren’t doing our jobs,” Eckhardt
AGWSR defenders (left to right) Tanner Reents (No. 58), Joey Neely (No. 66), Trevor Bakker (No. 72), Brandt
Claussen (No. 65) and Clay Meinders (No. 44) surround West Hancock quarterback Connor Sonius during
the second half of Friday's game in Ackley. (John Jensen/The Grundy Register photo)
said. “You’ve got to come off the
ball. Offensively we were doing the
same thing.”
Quarterback Cody Williams
paced a balanced AGWSR rushing
attack with 80 yards on just 11 carries. Clay Meinders added 66 yards
on 11 carries, Clay Bohner 58 yards
on 11 carries and Levi Stockdale 46
yards on eight carries.
The 4-0 start is AGWSR’s best
since at least 2005.
THE COUGARS TOOK the lead
the first time they had the ball with a
13-play, 64-yard scoring drive. A key
play came midway through the drive
on fourth down from the Eagles' 40
as punter Nathan Karsjens sprinted
up the middle for a first down. Five
plays later Bohner was in the end
zone for a touchdown. Reaching
into its bag of tricks again, AGWSR
faked the point-after kick, with Sully
Hofmeister throwing a two-point
conversion pass to Williams.
The score remained 8-0 until
late in the first half when AGWSR
took advantage of good field position after a 20-yard Eagle punt. The
41-yard drive took more than five
minutes and culminated with the
first of Williams’ two scoring runs,
a 10-yard scramble to the left side.
The point-after kick was wide right
and AGWSR took a 14-0 lead to the
locker room.
A pair of West Hancock miscues set up third-quarter AGWSR
touchdowns that put the game out
of reach. Bohner recovered a fumble
on the Eagle 20, and two plays later
Meinders found the end zone. Austin
Heitland’s point-after kick bounced
off the upright and through for a
21-0 lead. Ninety seconds later the
Cougars had the ball deep in West
Hancock territory again, this time after Stockdale blocked an Eagle punt
and fell on it at the 20. Six plays later
Darrick Kyle-Murphy scored and
Heitland kicked the point for a 28-0
lead.
The Cougars final touchdown of
the night came as Williams capped
a 70-yard drive with a one-yard run.
AGWSR faces what could be its
toughest test of the season to date
Friday when it travels to Bishop
Garrigan High School in Algona.

JEWELL – Dike-New Hartford
and South Hamilton went head to
head for three full quarters Friday
night until the Wolverines put
together a game winning fourth
quarter to upend the Hawks 28-14.
“I thought we played well
against a good football team,” DikeNew Hartford head coach Don
Betts said. “Our young men battled
back a couple of times. I’m proud
of the effort we got from our team
tonight.”
South Hamilton took the early
lead on a short run for a touchdown
and an extra point in the first
quarter. In the second period D-NH
matched that effort when Carson
Parker took the ball a final yard for
the score and Byron Fritch put the
PAT through the uprights to tie the
game 7-7 going into the halftime
break.
The Hawks took the lead
again in the third quarter with
another short touchdown run. The
Wolverines answered with a 6-yard
run by Ben Cuvelier and a Fritch
kick to make it 14-14.
In the final quarter D-NH took
their first lead of the game with a
66-yard touchdown pass from
Parker to Preston Wheat, then
sealed the deal with a Cuvelier
48-yard touchdown run. Both plays
were capped off by Fritch PATs, and
the Wolverines moved to 3-0 on the
season with the 28-14 win. Betts
felt the Wolverine defense was key.
“Our defense played very well
tonight,” Betts said. “I thought we
controlled the line of scrimmage
most of the night. Our defensive
linemen Brice Beninga, Brian
Coulthard, Grant Bossom, Tommy
Irvin, Alex Andersen and Lucas
DePriest really set the tone for us.” Parker completed 15-of-21
passes for 236 yards. Wheat caught
two passes for 71 yards, Gabe
Eiklenborg pulled in four for 66
yards, and Levi Lynch caught three
for 41 yards. Cuvelier ran the ball
11 times for 93 of D-NH’s 130
rushing yards.
The Wolverines are scheduled
to play at Eagle Grove this Friday
night, Sept. 20.

G-R dominates Iowa Valley
in homecoming game
By ROB MAHARRY
The Record
GLADBROOK — GladbrookReinbeck scored quickly on the
first drive of its homecoming
game and never looked back,
o v e r p o w e r i n g I o w a Va l l e y
(Marengo) 45-0 Friday night in
Gladbrook.
Senior running back Chase
Clark continued his torrential
pace, amassing 223 yards and two
touchdowns on just 10 carries in
the game. Clark has already racked
up 730 yards and nine touchdowns
while averaging nine yards a carry
this season.
“He’s just so hard to tackle,”
G-R coach John Olson said. “He’s
not going to go for a three-yard
loss. Even on a busted play, he’s
going to fall forward for three
yards.”
The scoring barrage began
early when Eric Stoakes took
the opening kickoff into Tiger
territory. A holding penalty
brought back what would have
been a long touchdown run
for Clark, but Dustin Dinsdale
compensated with a 29-yard
scamper to give the Rebels a 7-0
lead.
G-R took the ball back
af ter a q u ick th r ee- an d - ou t
for Iowa Valley, and Clark
wasted little time, breaking a
60-yard touchdown run. Phillip
Zimmerman intercepted an Austin
Schlabach pass on the ensuing
drive, and Dinsdale made the
Tigers pay with a 35-yard run
that set up Clark for his second
touchdown from 10 yards out,
putting the Rebels ahead 21-0.
Quarterback Camden Kickbush
sprinted to the right for another
short touchdown run to give G-R
a 28-0 lead in the first quarter.
What may have been the highlight
of the night occurred late in the
quarter, when G-R’s Zach Pierce
blocked an Iowa Valley punt in
the end zone and Cameron Clark
fell on the ball for the special
teams touchdown. The Rebels had
complete control after one quarter
with a 35-0 lead over the Tigers.
A 24-yard field goal from Wyatt
Swanson gave G-R a 38-0 lead
early in the second quarter. On
the next Rebel drive, Iowa Valley
committed a costly facemask
penalty on a fourth and one play
that set up a Stoakes 10-yard
touchdown run. The Rebels led
45-0 at halftime, and the final
score remained unchanged.
In addition to Clark’s monster
night on the ground, Dinsdale
rushed for 92 yards on just three
carries and scored once. Stoakes
carried the ball eight times for 59
yards and a touchdown. Kickbush
ran twice for six yards and a
touchdown. The junior quarterback
attempted just six passes in the
game.
The Rebel defense dominated
the game as 27 different players
recorded tackles. Junior Bryce
Ehlers led the team with nine total
tackles and an interception, and
Pete Meyers added seven more.
Jake Peters, Ty Eiffler, and Joey
Linder rounded out the top tacklers
with six apiece. The Rebels picked
off Schlabach three times; Ehlers,
Zimmerman and Jeff Tscherter
each grabbed an interception.
After a pair of tough nondistrict losses to Class 1A schools
in Dike-New Hartford and Denver,
the Rebels entered district play as
the presumptive favorite in Class
A, District 4.
“We’re excited about getting
into district play and playing teams
our size,” Olson said.
G-R improved to 2-2 overall
and 1-0 in the district with the win.
The Rebels travel to Conrad to
face the BCLUW Comets (1-2, 0-0
district) on Friday.
“We’ve got to be really physical
up front so our defense can get
in (BCLUW quarterback Conner
Ubben’s) face,” Olson said.

PARKERSBURG – The Grundy
Center Spartan volleyball team
avenged a loss earlier in the day
to Class 4A No. 4 ranked West
Delaware 25-19, 15-25, 15-8 to take
the championship match and the
tournament title at Parkersburg on
Saturday.
“It’s something we thought
we could do, but we had to play
consistent for an entire match,”
Grundy Center head coach Darwin
Sents said. “We have flashes where
we play really well and then we don’t
so much, and against good teams we
have to play well the entire match.
We really made strides in that.”
The Spartans picked up wins
in their first two matches of pool
play, 21-14, 21-14 over AplingtonParkersburg and 21-18, 21-16 over
Nashua Plainfield. In their third and
final pool match Grundy Center
suffered their only loss of the day to
West Delaware 18-21, 7-21.
“West Delaware’s the best team
we’ve played all year — they’re well
coached, they have good athletes,
they’re just traditionally very, very
good,” Sents said.
In
the
semi-final
match
the Spartans prevailed over
Williamsburg
25-19,
25-21.
Kennedy Buss and Stephanie Faust
had six kills apiece. Alyssa Mathews
and Peyton Ralston provided eight
and six assists respectively. Riley
Sents put up 18 digs and Piper
Johanns served up four aces.
“The kids came out and played
very solid, I thought,” Sents said. “I
don’t think we played great in that
match but we played well. And we
did it all the way through. They were
comfortable wins and a confidence
building knowing they were the top
team in their pool.” “Going into the final the girls
talked, ‘We need to play better, we
need to beat these guys’ and in game
one that went very well for us,”
Sents said.
The Spartans scored a 25-19 win
in the first set of the championship
match before West Delaware took
the second 15-25. The Spartans
responded with a 15-8 win in the
final set to take the match and the
championship title.

WAVERLY – Wartburg College
was the site of the 2013 Dick Pollitt
Go-Hawk Classic on Tuesday, Sept.
10, and typical of the annual cross
country meet where runners compete
by grade level, the participants
battled oppressive heat as well as
their competitors.
“Waverly was a tough meet
because of the heat,” Grundy Center
coach Chris Henely said. “The
competition was tough and both our
boys’ and girls’ teams gutted it out.”
Four Spartan runners finished in
the top 20 of their grade level. Tiana
Saak placed eighth in the freshman
girls’ race, Hannah Stumberg
went 12th in the senior girls’ race,
Haylee Neessen ran to 20th in the
girls’ sophomore race, and Espen
Cleveland was 20th in the boys’
senior race.
Also finishing for the Grundy
Center girls were freshman Mellina
Wrage (30th), sophomores Kate Ross
(84th) and Kaitlynn Ehrig (88th), and
junior Breanna Manalili (63rd).
Other runners competing for the
Spartan boys’ team were freshmen
Finn Cleveland (21st), Dylan
Hendricks (25th), and Jesper HolkeFarnam (62nd), and juniors Jack
Stumberg (50th) and Grant Weldon
(55th).
The Grundy Center Middle
School was represented by Brady
Appel and Jared Melcher in the
boys’ race, who finished 16th and 45th
respectively.
“From the beginning of the year
to Waverly I have seen a great
improvement in conditioning, as
expected,” Henely said. “Each and
every athlete is beginning to settle in
to their race style and is becoming
more comfortable with the distance.
I’ve seen a shift in effort and attitude
in the right direction.”

“The girls kind of knew we didn’t
play as well as we can in game two so
they came out and really got it going,
jumped out to a lead of 8-0,” Sents
said. “Then they just kept playing
the sideout game with them.”
Faust and Saak combined for 18
kills, Faust with 10 and Saak with
eight. Ralston and Mathews provided
12 and 11 assists respectively. Sents
led in digs with 22.
“This was a real confidence
builder,” he said. “This team is still
growing, we’re getting better as we
go and I think the girls are getting
a better understanding of how good
they can be if they all play well. That
was what was so fun about Saturday,
the kids played so well as a team —
they all played so well together. It
wasn’t ‘this person can do it for us’
or ‘that person can do it,’ it’s a team
effort, everybody did their job and
did it well.”
The Spartans, now 10-1 on the
season, were scheduled to host
AGWSR on Tuesday, Sept. 17, and
travel to the Marion Tournament on
Saturday, Sept. 21.
