Supervisors discuss new
site for annex building
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER — The
location for a possible new Grundy
County annex building took
another turn Monday as the Board
of Supervisors discussed an offer
from Bob Cox to sell the county his
property, which is located directly
west of the current building on H
Avenue.
After abandoning their attempt
to buy the property located east of
the current annex, Supervisors held
discussion about building on the
property currently used as a parking
lot for the Sheriff’s Department
which is located directly south of
the Sheriff’s office at the corner of
H Avenue and Eighth Street. Cox
offered to sell his property to the
county last week.
Board Chair Harlyn Riekena
asked for input from the Board
about which site they preferred,
and opinions were mixed. Mark
Schildroth said he would prefer the
plan to build south of the Sheriff’s
Department while Barb Smith said
she preferred the Cox property
simply because it could cost more to
build on the Sherrff’s lot (which is
smaller than the Cox lot) because of
the cost of an elevator. An elevator
which would be needed due to the
building being two stories. Chuck
Bakker echoed that the Cox lot
should at least be considered because
of the cost issue as well as the
convenience of a one-story building.
Riekena said he has heard from
several Grundy Center residents
who like the idea of building the
structure on the Cox property, with
Smith noting that she has heard the
same. Supervisor Jim Ross asked
if neighbors around the property
have been asked if they have any
objections.
One issue with putting the annex
building on the Cox lot could be
zoning. Smith said that property
is likely zoned for a residential
structure while a public-use building
would require different zoning.
“Would you like me to talk to the
Grundy Center mayor about that?”
Smith asked.
Riekena told Smith she was
welcome to ask Mayor Brian
Buhrow about the zoning, though to
do it on her own and not as a Board
of Supervisors ambassador. Riekena
added that he would like to see what
architects come up with for a twostory annex building on the Sheriff’s
Department lot before making a
decision about where to build.
Supervisors also continued their
recent discussion of whether to
create a Tax Increment Financing
(TIF) District at the Wellsburg
Wind Farm, which is currently

‘I still think we should

under construction. AGWSR School
District
Superintendent
Marty
Jimmerson was on hand to discuss
the school’s position on the TIF
District, noting that creating one
will lower the tax rate, while Dike
resident Wayne Paige discussed his
opposition to TIF, noting that he
does not feel it works and that it is
not a good use of taxpayer money.
Paige asked what would happen
if the income generated by the wind
turbines would go away during the
life of TIF, with Riekena noting that
the Supervisors would be forced
to raise taxes to make up for the
shortfall.
“That is highly unlikely to
happen,” Riekena said. “The only
way (taxes) would not come in from
the wind farm would be if they tore
it down and it ceased operation.”
Smith added that wind farm
owner Mid-American Energy is a
strong company while Bakker added
that the county has only proposed
capturing a small percentage of what
would be available to it.
Ross, who has opposed creating
the TIF district since it was
proposed, noted that it was originally
intended for areas that were blighted
but has since become an economic
development tool.
“I still feel we should take the
money as it comes in rather than
mortgaging our future,” he said.
Riekena asked Auditor Rhonda
Deters to put the TIF discussion on
the agenda for the next meeting. The
Board must make a decision by the
time the wind farm is completed,
which is scheduled to be Nov. 12.

Grant brings 3-D printing into GCHS classroom
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER — Three-dimensional printers have made headlines lately as engineers have made
breakthrough after breakthrough,
including the first-ever car made exclusively from printed parts. Thanks
to a federal Perkins Grant, students
at Grundy Center High School now
have the opportunity to learn about
the technology.
Grundy Center High School industrial technology teacher Kris Seitz
procured a 3-D printer for the school
this year.
“This is something that we’ve
wanted for quite awhile,” he said.
Students in Computer Aided Design (CAD), Project Lead the Way,
art, TAG and possibly other classes
will have a chance to work with the
printer, which uses PLA filament to
print three-dimensional objects.
“It heats the extruder to a predetermined temperature and will print a
base plate,” Seitz said. “Then it prints
on top of that base plate.”
Calling the device a printer is almost a misnomer. Instead, Seitz said
it could just as easily be called a
builder.
“Think of it like sprinkling dust on
top of dust on top of dust on top of
dust. You end up with a pile of dust,”
he said.
The printed items are strong, but
not unbreakable. Seitz said one drawback to the parts created is that, because they are made of plastic, they
cannot be exposed to extreme heat
such as internal combustion engines.
Most of the items printed on the

new machine have been fairly simple, including a small train that Seitz
showed the school board at its September meeting, though the possibilities of what can be printed are endless.
“It’s only limited by its size,” he
said.
“There was a gentleman in Australia who had an industrial accident
and was actually able to print himself fingers,” Seitz said. “They didn’t
look like ours, but they worked. And
a father in California contacted him,
his son was born without fingers on
his right hand. (The Australian man)
didn’t want any money, he just shared
all the information and shared how to
do it. The father went out and bought
one of these and he printed fingers for
his son. It’s just amazing.”
Seitz is not the only person excited
about the possibilities of the printer.
CAD student Jared Krausman talked
about the possibilities of the printer
for making parts for the school’s ultimate milage vehicle.
“Manufacturing the throttle and
making some parts,” he said while
adding that they could also make a

miniature replica of the vehicle on
the 3-D printer.
Krausman said Seitz told him near
the end of last school year that there
was a good chance they would get the
printer.
“We were excited,” he said.
Seitz said the printer would have
been helpful a year ago when the Ultimate Milage Vehicle students ran
into a challenge while building the
vehicle.
“We wanted to have the hands on

the steering wheel, we didn’t want
to use a brake or throttle where you
have to take your hands off the steering wheel,” he said. “So they found
(a throttle) on a small 4-wheeler,
but it was missing the cover so the
throttle cable wouldn’t stay in there.
So they spent days trying to figure
out how to make it work, and it was
ingenious in the end how they did it
with a nut and a cable tie and some
J.B. Weld, but had we had (the print-
er) we could have come in here, we
could have drawn it, printed it and
bolted it right on the car.”
Adam Kaufman, who is also in
the CAD class, said he was excited
about the printer because he had seen
one in action from a family friend
who used it to print miniature dolphins. Using the printer could also
work into Kaufman’s future, as he
said he is considering going into a
graphic design field.
3-D printers are the latest form
of 3-D modeling, which Seitz explained had started in the 1940s.
“If you wanted to make a life-size
model of a ’49 Ford, what are you
going to do it out of? Clay,” he said.
“You’re going to have an artist do it
and an engineer work with him. Then
a few years ago they built a car out of
Legos — a working car out of Legos
— and it ran on compressed air. Now
you can actually, with a large enough
printer, you can do about anything.”

Area women support Community
Health Grants at GCMH fundraiser
GRUNDY CENTER — More
than 280 ladies gathered for the
annual Grundy County Memorial Hospital (GCMH) Foundation’s Fall Fling luncheon and
style show in rural Reinbeck. The
fundraiser supported the Foundation’s 2015 Annual Campaign
and the new Community Health
Grant program with more than
$22,000 in donations.
The Fall Fling offered women
from around the area an opportunity to gather and enjoy lunch
and a style show presented by
Jennifer’s on Main in Cedar Falls
with special featured fashions
by Lillian’s in Grundy Center.
A raffle drawing for a Mississippi River cruise, a Jennifer’s
gift certificate, and an evening
out, plus the chance to win one
of more than 40 purse, scarf,
and jewelry prizes completed the
event. More than 110 local businesses supported the Fall Fling as
table sponsors and donors of the
scarves, jewelry and purses that
were given away to the ladies in
attendance.
GCMH CEO Brian Kellar
spoke to the group about the
Foundation’s new Community
Health Grant program, which
aims to make funds available to
a variety of area non-profit organizations for projects that support
community health needs such as
disease prevention and access to
health care. The ladies in attendance responded generously by
giving $12,675 to the Foundation’s grant program. In addition, the event raised more than
$10,000 for the Foundation’s Annual Campaign, which supports
health care equipment and technology needs at the local hospital.
Kellar noted that Community Grants have recently been
awarded to the Grundy County
Public Health Department for a
youth dental health program, to
the Alzheimers Association of
East Central Iowa to support a
caregiver educational program,
and to the 2,000 Days in the Life
of Your Child educational event
coming to Grundy Center on Oct.
24.
“Our guests’ overwhelming response to the appeal for Community Health Grants demonstrates
not only widespread support for
the hospital, but support for the
critical needs of health education and disease prevention,” said
Erin Schildroth, GCMH Commu-
nity Outreach & Volunteer Coordinator. “This event has grown
dramatically in the six years
we’ve held the Fall Fling, with
more guests from a wider range
of communities each year.”
Schildroth encourages area
health, education, and service organizations to apply for funding
to support health projects in area
communities. Grant applications
are available on the hospital website www.grundycountyhospital.
org and the next grant deadline
is Nov. 1. For more information
about the Fall Fling or the Community Health Grant program,
contact Schildroth at [email protected] or phone
319-824-4147.
The Fall Fling was organized
by a committee of sixteen ladies:
Kate Durbin and Susan Jaspers
of Parkersburg; Taylor Fox and
Toni Nederhoff of Eldora; Jan
Ehrig, Dorothy Keith, and Shirley Ramundt of Reinbeck, Juanita Fulster and Shirley Miell of
Gladbrook, Sandy Hawn, Joyce

Dr. Marion A. Ruebel
Dr. Marion A. Ruebel, 81, passed away September 28. Mass of the
Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 3 at St. Hilary Catholic Church, 2750 W. Market St. Interment at Rose Hill Burial Park. Friends may call

InfoCision Stadium, Akron, OH 44325-2603. To
share a Memory, Send a Condolence, or Light a
Candle, visit the Tribute Wall at www.billowfuneralhomes.com (Billow FAIRLAWN Chapel).
Born in Manson, he obtained both his Bachelor and Master Degrees from Iowa State Teacher’s College, Cedar Falls (now the University of
Northern Iowa) and his Ph.D. from Iowa State
University. He was later honored by both institutions with the Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award from Iowa State and inducted into
the Hall of Excellence at Northern Iowa. A veteran of the U.S. Army serving
during the Korean Conflict, he was a member of St. Hilary Parish in Fairlawn. Dr. Ruebel was President Emeritus of the University of Akron.
His life centered on a commitment to family, friends and the value of a
quality education, principles learned in his beloved Iowa home. Hard work
and determination were essential while holding multiple jobs, pursuing his
education, and helping his wife of sixty-two years, Neom, raise a young family. A teacher and coach in the Colo, Tripoli, and Oskaloosa, Iowa school
districts, he eventually entered secondary school administration and later a
research position with the Iowa Department of Public Instruction, a position
he often recalled with fondness. In 1970 the family moved to Akron after he accepted a position as an
assistant professor of secondary education at the University of Akron. Over
the next thirty years he would hold numerous leadership positions at the University including: Assistant Dean of the College of Education (1974-1978);
Dean of the University College (1978-1989); Interim Senior Vice President
and Provost (1990-1991); Acting President (1992); Director of Alumni and
Government Relations (1994); and 14th President of the University of Akron
(1996-1999). “Rube” would not want it forgotten that he spent several cherished years as President of St. Vincent/St. Mary High School (1994-1996),
following one of several “retirements” from the University. Friends and family often teased regarding his multiple retirements suggesting he enjoyed the
retirement gatherings. More than likely he could never shake his deep work
ethic and commitment to helping others realize their potential.
Preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Ruth; sister and brotherin-law, Elayne and Bob Schernekau; brother, Edward; brother-in-law, Leo
Duncanson and sister-in-law, Kay Ruebel.
He is survived by his wife, Neoma; daughters, Victoria (Thomas) Hardy, Sherri (Brian) Nank and Joni (John) Barnard; son, Tom (Lana) Ruebel;
grandchildren, Ben (Emily) Nank, Leigh Hardy, Mackenzie Nank, Nick and
Spencer Ruebel; great-granddaughter, Emma Nank; sister, Ruth Duncanson;
brother, Leon (Mary) Ruebel; sister-in-law, Phyllis Ruebel; sister-in-law,
Donna Schlemmer; brother-in-law, Ron Horbach; and Verlene Horbach; numerous nieces and nephews.

One of the things I find I’m not that good at a lot of the time is being
a good friend. Like many of us, I
disappear into my daily life and value
what free time I have.
Over the years I’ve never been
one to keep in touch with people in
towns I once lived in. There is not one
person I went to high school with who
I know personally and not a single
person I knew or worked with in
Washington whom I’ve kept in touch
with. Again, it’s simply been a matter
of getting busy and moving on with
life. Even in Vinton, I didn’t keep in
contact with a single person for any
time whatsoever after coming here.
Yet a couple of people in Oelwein
are different. When I first went to
By JOHN JENSEN
town, one of the first people to greet
me was an older man with an affinity
for baseball. He was a little bit handicapped in a couple of different ways,
but we had enough in common that we’ve remained relatively close. He and
a couple of others up there (whom I’ve also kept in touch with) have been
really good for me.
If you knew me as little as a dozen years ago you would have known
a very different John. Back then I was quite temperamental, a lot more
negative than I should have been and, to be quite honest, not all that nice a
person. The old man was the person most responsible for changing most of
that, along with a couple of lifestyle changes I had to make during my dark
days.
I bring this up because for the first time in my life I am having to watch
somebody I truly care about go downhill. Though young my many people’s
standards, my friend has suffered through a lot of health issues. I confess
that it’s not something I’m handling that well ... it bothers the daylights out
of me.
Unlike most everyone around here, I didn’t know my extended family
well. We would visit my grandparents, they would visit us and we would
talk on the phone, but because they were more than 1,000 miles away, I
never spent much time with them after I became an adult and dealt with their
deaths very personally. I’ll never forget the day that my parents called to tell
me my grandfather had died. I was at work and on deadline, was able to go
down the hall into the restroom for a few minutes to be upset, and then had
to get back to work. That was my grieving time. Three more times in the
next few years after that the same thing came up ... and I was too stuck in
my work and own world to be the good grandson I should have been! That
eats at me to this day.

I’ve vowed to do things differently now. The good news with my friend
is that he’s still there mentally — he’s the same great guy who befriended
me when I needed someone back then. I cherish that. I’ll always cherish
that.
• • •
With a family that grew up in Massachusetts, just an hour’s drive down
the Mass. Turnpike from Boston, I am an avowed New York Yankee hater.
I hate the team, I hate the stadium, I hate Michael Kay’s “Yankees win ...
the Yankees win” call after each victory (OK ... I have to admit that’s cool),
I hate most of the players. Yet even I have to admit that the way Yankee
legend Derek Jeter ended his career last week was nothing short of cool.
Jeter has been one of the few players in recent baseball history who seems
to have done everything the right way. He’s had little if any controversy
despite playing in the world’s largest media market, retired as a career .302
hitter and with five World Series rings. Not a bad career if you ask me.
Most of all, however, Jeter has defined his team during its most recent
run of success. When you think of the Yankees, names that have defined
baseball history come to mind. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio,
Micky Mantle and Yogi Berra come to mind. Though it is hard to define
what people will feel 20 years from now, I truly believe that Jeter should be
lauded with those legends of the game. He is one of the only players in the
game today who is a no-doubt first-ballot Hall of Famer, even if some of his
advanced statistics don’t add up. What the heck is Wins Above Replacement
anyway? How do you calculate it?
What I found most inspiring was how those who had been Jeter’s rivals
year after year treated him in his final visit. A lot of that was because others
had done it and, let’s face it, some of the gifts were kind of dumb (a kayak,
Tampa ... really ... a kayak). But some of the teams really came across classy. I absolutely loved that the crosstown rival Mets gave him a mosaic made
out of New York subway tiles (can you say ‘Subway Series’), and that the
Mariners gave him a couple of seats from the old Kingdome, where he had
his first career hits. But the prize for best giveaway goes to the Boston Red
Sox, where he played his last game. The gifts themselves weren’t all that
memorable (boots, a sign from the scoreboard, etc.), but the way they were
presented was top notch with a number of Boston sports legends (Bobby
Orr, Paul Pierce, Carl Yastrzemski and others) coming out to greet him. Very
cool.
Unsigned editorials are the view of The Grundy Register. All other letters published do not necessarily reflect the views of The Grundy Register,
Mid-America Publishing or their employees.
DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary
of Agriculture Bill Northey today
commented on the Iowa crop progress and condition report released
by the USDA National Agricultural
Statistical Service. The report is
released weekly from April through
October.
“Crops continue to advance towards maturity and farmers are just
starting to harvest both corn and
beans as conditions allow. As more
farmers start harvest it is important
everyone working on the farm and
driving through rural Iowa keep
safety in mind to help make sure
we have safe and successful harvest
season,” Northey said.
The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of
Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s
website at www.IowaAgriculture.
gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.
usda.gov/ia. The report summary
follows here:
CROP REPORT
Above average temperatures
pushed crops towards maturity during the week ending September 28,
2014, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. There were 5.3 days suitable
for fieldwork. Activities for the
week included harvesting early corn
and soybeans, chopping silage, and
harvesting hay.
Topsoil moisture rated 0 percent
very short, 5 percent short, 83 percent adequate, and 12 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 1
percent very short, 8 percent short,
82 percent adequate, and 9 percent
surplus. Southwest Iowa was the
wettest with over one-third of its
topsoil in surplus condition.
Ninety-six percent of Iowa’s
corn crop was in or beyond the dent
stage. Corn mature reached 58 percent, surpassing last year, but still 8
days behind normal. Corn harvest
has begun across the State, with 76
percent of the acreage reported in
good to excellent condition. Leaves
were turning color on 94 percent
of the soybean crop, equal to the
five-year average for this stage for
the first time this season. Sixty-five
percent of the soybean acreage was
dropping leaves, still 3 days behind
normal. Soybean harvest was underway and 74 percent of the acreage
was in good to excellent condition.
The third cutting of alfalfa hay
was 91 percent complete, just over
2 weeks behind both 2013 and average. Pasture condition rated 67 percent good to excellent. Little stress
on livestock was observed. High
manure levels have been reported in
some pits and lagoons.

Center Theatre’s Reel-to-Reel
Beginning at the Center Theatre
on Friday, October 3 at 7 p.m. will
be the thriller Into The Storm, starring Richard Armitage and Alycia
Debnam-Carey. This movie is rated
PG-13 for violence, running approximately 90 minutes in length. At
7:30 will be family/sequel Dolphin
Tale 2, starring Morgan Freeman,
Ashley Judd, Hary Connick Jr and
Nathan Gamble. This movie is rated
PG, running approximately 110 minutes in length. There will be no matinees this weekend.
From Warner Brothers and New
Line Cinema comes the actionpacked disaster thriller Into the
Storm. In the span of just a few hours,
the city of Silverton is ravaged by an
unprecedented onslaught of the most
furious twisters they've ever seen.
The entire town is at the mercy of
the erratic and deadly cyclones, even
as storm trackers predict more is yet
to come. Most people seek shelter,
while others run toward the vortex,
testing how far a storm chaser will
go. Told through the eyes and lenses
of professional storm chasers, amateurs and courageous townspeople,
Into the Storm shows you storms at
their worst and people at their best
as they work to survive unbelievable
weather conditions.
Dolphin Tale 2 continues the
story of the brave dolphin Winter,
whose miraculous rescue and recovery – thanks to a groundbreaking
prosthetic tail – made her a symbol
of hope and perseverance to people
around the world and inspired the
2011 family hit movie Dolphin Tale.
It has been several years since young
Sawyer Nelson (Nathan Gamble)
and the dedicated team at the Clearwater Marine Hospital, headed by
Dr. Clay Haskett (Harry Connick,
Jr.), rescued Winter. With the help
of Dr. Cameron McCarthy (Morgan
Freeman), who developed a unique
prosthetic tail for the injured dolphin, they were able to save her life.
Yet their fight is not over. Winter’s
surrogate mother, the very elderly
dolphin Panama, has passed away,
leaving Winter without the only
poolmate she has ever known. However, the loss of Panama may have
even greater repercussions for Winter, who, according to USDA regulations, cannot be housed alone, as
dolphins’ social behaviour requires
them to be paired with other dolphins. Time is running out to find a
companion for her before the team at
Clearwater loses their beloved Winter to another aquarium. Don’t miss
Dolphin Tale 2, a heart-warming
family movie for all audiences!

Local sites announced for
Healthiest State Walk
GRUNDY CENTER — The state
of Iowa is encouraging all Iowans
to take part in a lunch time walk as
part of the state’s initiative to improve the health of state residents.
The Healthiest State Walk is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 8 at locations across Iowa. In Grundy Center, a walk is being organized at the
Grundy Center High School track
beginning at 11:00 a.m. Two other
walks are set for noon, one walking
around GNB Bank, 510 F Avenue,
and another departing from the south
entrance (Entrance No. 1) of Grundy
County Memorial Hospital.
“Members of the public are invited to join the walk at the place and
time that’s convenient for them,”
said Crystal Petersen, hospital Food
& Nutrition services manager and
member of the Grundy Center Wellness Committee. “The 1-kilometer
walk will take about 15 minutes and
is a great way to introduce daily activity into your routine.”
According to the 2013 GallupHealthways Well-Being Index®,
Iowa is No. 10 in the nation when it
comes to being physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy. The state
has set a goal of achieving the No.
1 spot by 2016, and the annual allIowan walk is part of the project.
Iowans who are not able to participate at the state-wide lunchtime
walks are encouraged to take a 1-kilometer stroll sometime during the
day to support the goal to become
the healthiest state in the nation.

Farmer’s Coop breaks ground on Dike expansion
DIKE — Farmers Cooperative
Company (FC) broke ground Monday
on an expansion at its Dike location.
The first phase of the expansion
includes building a 6,000-ton dry fertilizer storage facility with blending
capabilities. and the second phase will
be completing a 1 million gallon liquid fertilizer storage facility, also with
blending capabilities.
“FC is proud of this expansion
and the employees that have made it
possible,” said Devin Mogler, Senior
Vice President of Operations. “They
have been growing the crop nutrient
business aggressively and the new facilities are necessary to support it,”
The scope of this project includes
expanding dry fertilizer capacity by
340 percent and liquid fertilizer by
600 percent.
“While looking at our capacity
expansions, we will also be upgrading our in and outbound speeds from
moving 80 tons of crop nutrients per
hour to 250 tons per hour,” Mogler
said.
Facilities are expected to cost $3.5
million and have an extremely positive economic impact on the area. This
project will improve FC’s operational
efficiency and further elevate the services to members. The project is expected to be completed in fall, 2015.
Farmers Cooperative Company has
been in the Dike area since 2009 and
is headquartered in Ames. For more

Flu Season
The Reinbeck Pharmacy owners, Brent and Val Bovy of Dike set up
shop at Dike City Hall on September 29 and offered flu shots to anyone
over the age of 6. They were painless. No tears!!The Reinbeck Pharmacy
offers home delivery of your prescription and will gladly help transfer
your pharmacy needs. Pictured is Val the nurse with a local resident.
Having Faith
The injunction to “have faith” seems to
suggest that we must do something in order
to have faith, or that faith is something we
can possess. But, in reality, having faith is
sometimes simply a matter of letting go of
our skepticism or unbelief. In this sense,
having faith is not so much something we
do, but something we let happen. When
you see the work of God manifesting itself in your life, allow yourself to believe
that this is God at work in you. Sometimes
we just need to have the simple faith of a
child and believe what is before our eyes.
This doesn’t mean we have to completely
throw our rational mind overboard. There
is a time and a place for science and skepticism, but science and skepticism are simply tools that should be used when they
are needed. Having faith is more like the
pervasive sense that we are surrounded by
God’s loving presence. We are surrounded
by air whether we believe it or not and in
the same way we are surrounded by God’s
presence, whether we know or believe it,
and sometimes we just need to let that
awareness happen. Don’t try to force it,
just let it be!
–Christopher Simon
For we live by faith,
not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7

Cold weather riding tips for bikers Key to cooking
The arrival of cooler temperatures means motorcycle enthusiasts
should have a plan in place for their
vehicles. Although fall sees many
riders pack their bikes into the garage to wait out the winter, many
others see no reason to quit the great
outdoors just because colder weather
is on the way.
No matter which path riders take
and when they take it, preparation is
essential when riding motorcycles.
Here are a few pointers for riders to
consider once the leaves have started
to change color.
Layer up
Layering clothing is a key component of riding a motorcycle in colder
temperatures. Many people are not
very active on the back of a bike, so
they will not generate enough heat
on their own. Layering clothing will
take the bite out of frosty winds and
any precipitation that happens to be
falling.
Layer clothing so that you will feel
comfortable, maybe even a bit warm
when you are just standing around
outdoors. A first layer of thermal
or fleece is a good idea. Then layer
other materials as needed for comfort. Just do not wear so many layers
that your mobility is compromised.
If layers are not keeping you warm
enough, invest in heated clothing.
The outermost layer you wear
Riders should exercise caution when riding motorcycles in late autumn and winter.
should be weather- and wind-resistant. Wind chill can quickly sap your
energy and cut your ride considerably. Leather clothing will fit the bill
in most cases, but a rain suit or some
other waterproof material also may
be necessary at times.
Leaves
Leaves can be a significant hazard
to riders in the fall. Damp leaves can
make a slippery mess of roads, particularly on turns and curves.
Avoid all piles of leaves, as you
do not know what may be hiding
beneath them. Consider wet leaves
as dangerous as black ice, as soggy
leaves can be just as slippery.
Salt and sand
Road maintenance crews will use
sand and salt to keep roads clear
when snow and ice forms. Avoid
riding on salty roads because the salt
can corrode chrome and paint. If you
choose to do any winter riding, ap-
ply a coat of wax to all parts of the
motorcycle before going for a ride.
This will help protect it and enable
any salt to be easily wiped off after
riding.
Standing water
If it rains or snows lightly after
an extended period of dryness, oils
in the road can come to the surface,
making roads quite slick. In addition, stay on the lookout for puddles
and other standing water. While motorcycle tires are good for displacing
water, they still can hydroplane. Stay
focused when riding on wet surfaces.
Foraging animals
One potential hazard riders may
not consider is wildlife. Harvested
crops reduce easy food sources, and
animals may be on the move looking
for food. Deer can be pushed out of
fields by hunters. A collision with a
deer can damage a car, never mind
a motorcycle. Always use caution in
rural areas, particularly at dawn and
dusk.
Winterizing
If you choose to store your bike
when the weather starts to get cold,
remember to put a fuel stabilizer in
the tank, fill the tank with gas and
hook the battery up to a battery tender. This will ensure the bike is ready
to hit the road when the temperatures
warm up. FC14A573
Oktoberfest can be a party for all ages
Revelers look forward to Oktoberfest for various reasons. Great food,
abundant drinks and festive music
entertain the masses come Oktoberfest, so it’s no surprise that this
German-inspired tradition is popular
the world-over. While Oktoberfest
is often thought of as an adults-only
celebration, parts of the party can be
modified to make the event more inclusive of younger guests.
Oktoberfest is the world’s longest
fair, running for sixteen days from
late September to the first weekend
in October. More than six million
people from around the world attend
the event in Munich, Germany, each
year. Smaller Oktoberfest parties are
held elsewhere, and the theme can
be an interesting one for individuals
who want to enjoy a harvest party
that does not involve Halloween and
costumes.
Including children in Oktoberfest
celebrations is relatively easy. All
you need to do is offer activities that
do not involve alcoholic beverages.
Try these ideas to get started.
Stein relay
Both adults and children can participate in this event, as long as party
hosts can keep track of the beverages inside the steins. Adults can use
beer, while kids’ cups can be filled
Oktoberfest festivities are a fun theme for early autumn entertaining. By varying the activities, participants young and old can enjoy
themselves.
✁ CLIP & SAVE
with apple cider or root beer. Participants take chances running their
filled steins over to a serving tray
and then carrying back the full tray
without spilling. If any beverages
are spilled, the person has to take a
drink and then return to have the cup
refilled. The team whose members
all complete the race first is declared
the winner.

Saturday,
October 4, 2014
Anamosa, IA
Autumn is ripe with vibrant colors and scenery. One of the more vivid
sights this time of year are the bright, orange pumpkins that adorn walkways
and front porches of homes and businesses. Not only are pumpkins ideal for
decorating, but they’re also great to eat.
Some people who plan to carve jack-o-lanterns mistakenly believe the
same type of pumpkin can be used in their favorite recipes. But what carving
pumpkins have in visual flair, they usually lack in flavor and substance. Instead, would-be pumpkin cookers should look to other varieties if they plan
to serve pumpkin on the menu.
Pumpkins are available from September through December, but they peak
in October. Many smaller pumpkins are better and sweeter for cooking. Mini
pumpkins, sugar, cheese, and pie pumpkins are varieties commonly used in
recipes. The big jack-o-lantern pumpkins have stringy, watery flesh and will
provide little to no pulp for cooking.
Select a pumpkin as you would any other type of squash. Look for a firm
pumpkin with no bruises or soft spots. The pumpkin also should have a deep
orange color. Store pumpkins in a cool, dark area until ready for use to prolong freshness. Wash the exterior of the pumpkin in cool water before cutting
to remove any dirt and bacteria on the surface of the pumpkin so it won’t be
transferred to the pulp of the pumpkin.
Slice the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and any stringy material.
Rinse and save the seeds for planting or roasting. Put the pumpkin pieces in
the microwave to cook or you can steam or bake them until the pulp is soft
and the pumpkin falls off of the skin. Cool the pumpkins, then puree the pulp
until it’s smooth. You may want to strain the pureed pumpkin with a cheese
cloth to remove any excess water before using in a pie recipe. Baked breads
may benefit from the extra moisture.
Pumpkins are a great source of dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, riboflavin, potassium, copper, manganese, vitamin E, thiamin, niacin, vitamin
B6, folate, iron, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. They’re also low in
fat and calories. Pumpkin puree can replace the oil in some baking recipes,
much as you would use applesauce. TF14A590

Polka freeze dance
If a polka band is part of the festivities, ask them to participate in a
game of freeze dance. Otherwise,
hosts can use prerecorded polka music. Players dance to the music until
it stops, and once it does, they have
to freeze. Anyone who moves after
the music has stopped is “out.” The
last person standing is the winner.
Pretzel-making contest
Have children mold premade
dough (pizza or crescent roll dough)
into the shapes of pretzels. Provide
different toppings, from salt to nuts
to sesame seeds, that kids can use to
adorn their pretzels. The pretzels can
be judged on form and flavor.
Barrel or sack races
Children can participate in races
against the adults to see who has the
most dexterity and speed. Plastic
or wooden barrels can be rolled, or
players can use burlap sacks for races.
Carnival entertainment
Since Oktoberfest is a large fair,
carnival-type activities can make for
a great and appropriate party. Party
hosts can set up dunk tanks, a ring
toss, darts, and food-eating contests
to round out the list of festivities.
Setting aside an area for a dance
floor and hiring a band or deejay are
some additional ways to create a fun
atmosphere.
Oktoberfest is a great opportunity
to gather with friends and family to
enjoy great food and drinks and fun
games. Explore the various ways to
make the party appropriate for guests
of all ages, particularly by including
child-friendly events everyone can
enjoy. TF14A596

AGWSR splits matches Wolverines snag another title at Tiger Invite
with Butler County teams
By PATTI RUST
Sports Correspondent
ACKLEY – The Cougar
volleyball closed out the week with
a come from behind five set match
win on their home court over North
Butler Thursday. After dropping the
first two sets to 18-25, 18-25, the
Cougars rallied to take the final three
25-22, 26-24, 15-10.
“We started the night tentative,”
AGWSR coach Betsy Harms said.
“When things weren’t going our
way, we closed into our shell. North
Butler put together some runs on us.
I told the girls before game three,
to remember to find the balance of
focus and fun.”
“In sets three, four, and five
we had fun and played with a
competitive attitude,” she said.
“Our intensity level was key to our
victory.”
The AGWSR runs were fueled
by their serving, with 15 aces on
the night. Balance on both offense
and defense also helped the Cougar
cause. Ashley Sicard led in kills
with 12, and Maddie Brandt and
Cortanie Nederhoff added 10
apiece. Becca Wiarda led in assists
with 24. Mel Morones, Maddie
Deters, and Alana Groninga put up
15, 13, and 12 digs. Reagan Rathe
and Wiarda led in ace serves with
four each. Morones went 19-for-19
in serving with three aces.
“Going forward, we have to step
up our intensity on the floor,” Coach
Harms said. “Being able to keep
errors in check, not allowing one and
two point runs turn into three, four,
five, and six point runs.”
AGWSR (3-13, 0-4 NICL-West)
was scheduled to host GladbrookReinbeck on Tuesday, Sept. 30,
and will travel to Charles City on
Saturday, Oct. 4.

Parkersburg on Tuesday, errors
plagued AGWSR as they fell in
three sets, 19-25, 19-25, 21-25.
“We had 11 hitting errors and
three service errors that hurt us in
game one,” Coach Harms said. “In
game two, we got down 10-1 before
finishing well. In game three, we
were neck and neck up to the finish.”
Alana Groninga led AGWSR in
kills with eight and Becca Wiarda
and Abbie Young teamed up for
21 assists. Abbie Young and Mel
Morones were both 12-for-12 in
serving.
“Putting everything together at
the same time has been hard for
us this season,” Harms said. “One
game we hit well, the next we don’t.
We are still in the hunt to finding
that consistency. I think the girls are
passionate about their performance
and eager to find a way to finish.”

Huge first half lifts Rebels to homecoming victory
GLADBROOK — Cam Kickbush threw for 149 yards and two
touchdowns Friday, leading Gladbrook-Reinbeck to a 56-0 Homecoming victory over North Butler in
their final non-district game of the
season.
The Rebels (4-1) raced to a 50-0
halftime lead as Logan Flamme
caught a long touchdown and ran
for another while Eric Stoakes ran
for a pair of scores. The Rebels led
29-0 after one quarter.
Kickbush completed six of his
seven pass attempts and was not
intercepted. Flamme and Josh Cooley caught two passes each. The
Rebels ran for 329 yards despite
having no individual gain more than
53 yards. Stoakes led the way with
53 yards while Cameron Murphy
ran for 50 yards. Eight different
Rebel players ran for 20 yards or
more.
The Rebel defense recorded its
third straight shutout, holding the
Bearcats to 149 yards, including
just 29 through the air. Freshman
Brandon Trees led North Butler
with 46 rushing yards.
Up next — The Rebels look for
their fifth straight victory as they

4-0 NICL-East) were scheduled to
go on the road to Jesup on Tuesday,

Strong second half lifts
Wolverines past Hudson
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
HUDSON — Dike-New Hartford
scored on the second play of the game
and pulled away in the second half
Friday in a 46-12 victory at Hudson.
The Wolverines (4-1 overall, 2-0
in Class 1A, District 4) rolled up 492
yards of offense while holding the
Pirates to 93 yards, more than half of
which came in the final quarter.
D-NH struck gold on the game’s
first play when Kody Kugel scooped
up a fumble on the opening play and
returned it to the Pirate six-yard line.
On D-NH’s first offensive snap, Connor Ragsdale snuck out of the backfield from his fullback position where
Jacob Moore found him wide open
for a touchdown less than 30 seconds
into the contest.
The rest of the first half was hard
fought, with Hudson controlling the
Wolverine running game.
“Hats off to Hudson — they’ve
had a good year, they’re a good,
physical team,” Wolverine coach Don
Betts said. “This is one of those rivalry games where you always have to
battle your way though and we knew
going in that they were going to give
us their best shot because they always
do.”
The Wolverine lead was 20-6 entering the intermission. Moore’s second
scoring pass of the night, a 25-yarder
to tight end Zach Nicholson, made it
14-0 before Hudson came back with
its short passing game and scored
on a 13-yard toss. D-NH came back
with Ragsdale’s second score of the
game on a two-yard plunge and barely missed a chance to extend the lead
even further when a field goal attempt
as time expired sailed just wide.
“The first quarter especially it was
just back and forth and we got a little
push in the second quarter,” he said.
“Theen at halftime we just said ‘Guys,
take a deep breath and relax. We just
have to come out and play better.’ I
thought, at times, Hudson outplayed
us in the first half.”
The Wolverines heeded their
coach’s advice, scoring on their first
offensive play of the second half, a
69-yard Trent Johnson run, and then
two more times later in the quarter to
put the game out of reach.
“In the second half I think we just
found our groove and got rolling.”
Hudson was effective early in the
game with an inside handoff play
from the shotgun. Once the Wolverines took that away, Hudson struggled. The Pirates finished with just
nine net rushing yards, and its two
quarterbacks combined to complete
just six of their 21 pass attempts.
“We practice (against the inside handoff), but our practice team
doesn’t replicate that nearly as well as
we see in the game, so it took awhile
to make some adjustments and get

GC harriers hosts
annual Spartan Invite
By PATTI RUST
GRUNDY CENTER – Perfect
weather made for perfect running
conditions at the annual Spartan
Invitational held last Thursday night.
Grundy Center hosted runners from
14 different schools in their annual
home meet held on the grounds of
the Town and Country Golf Course.
Grundy Center coach Andy
McQuillen was impressed with the
performance of the Spartan runners
at their only home meet of the
season.
“We competed in a very stacked
meet, which is what our conference
meet will look like on October 18,”
he said. “We had some top-tier teams
in the NICL and state here, and we
held our own with them. Obviously,
we aspire to be in that status in the
future, yet we have to take steps
forward like we did last night.”
Tiana Saak finished just outside
the top 10 in the Varsity girls’ race,
leading the Grundy Center girls with
a 12th place finish in a time of 16:40.
Mellina Wrage placed 22nd, Harper
Wells 33rd, and Chloe Wiltfang 52nd.
Finn Cleveland paced the Spartan
boys with another top 10 individual
finish, placing ninth with a time of
17:15. Max Schweppe ran to 38th,
Joe Kanagy went 49th, and Carter
Murphy 51st. Eli Harberts and Jesper
Holke-Farnum went 66th and 67th.
“The gains made by Max
Schweppe, Mellina Wrage, Harper
Wells, Carter Murphy, and Joe
Kanagy are huge for the boys’ and
girls’ teams,” Coach McQuillen
said. “All of those kids made big
progress from our last meet ten days
ago. And once again, Finn Cleveland
and Tiana Saak ran extremely well in
two very challenging Varsity races.”
Coach McQuillen is looking for
more good things to come from the
Spartans as other members of the
team return from injury.
“Injuries have really hampered
us in the last two weeks,” he
said. “Hopefully, we can regain
some people to finish the season. We
have had our share of tough breaks
this year, but that is how life goes
sometimes. You have to bounce back
from that and move forward with a
positive attitude.” South Hardin claimed the girls’
team title and East Marshall came
out on top in the boys’ team race.
North Tama’s Abi Watson won the
girls’ race with a time of 15:04,
while Aplington-Parkersburg’s CJ
May took the boys’ title in 16:25.
The Spartans were schedule to
run at Jesup on Tuesday, Sept. 30.

team’s ground game.
“It helps when we have the ball for
75 plays, which is the way we want
it,” he said. “We want the defense to
have a film that’s not very long, and
we want the offense to have to sit in
there for an hour.”
Asche led the BCLUW offense
with 119 total yards and a touchdown, and Miller finished the night
8-for-22 with 176 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Garber
caught three passes for 65 yards, and
senior linebacker Blake Cooper once
again turned in a stellar defensive
performance with 12.5 total tackles.
Jahr noted that to compete with top
tier teams like AGWSR, his players
would need to work year round and
not just on Friday nights in the fall.
“I was talking to (AGWSR’s
coaches), and they said something
like their starting offensive lineman
have 500 days in the weight room,”
he said. “And it shows. They grind
you down, and they eat you up because they lift weights… just showing up in August isn’t good enough
anymore.”
The Cougars improved to 5-0
overall and 3-0 in district play, and
the Comets fell to 2-3 overall and
0-3 in the district. AGWSR will hit
the road to take on Denver this week
before hosting Gladbrook-Reinbeck
on October 10 in a matchup that will
likely decide the district champion.
BCLUW will travel to Grundy Center to take on an 0-5 Spartan squad on
Friday night.

By PATTI RUST
HUMBOLDT – The Iowa FallsAlden/AGWSR
cross
country
teams competed against a number
of familiar faces at the Humboldt
Invitational last Monday night, in
what would be their only competition

girls’ team score, finishing 68th, 71st,
and 74th.
IF-A/AGWSR girls’ coach Jamie
Maxwell looked past the Cadets’
ninth place team finish, noting how
well the Cadets matched up against
competitors from their conference.
“The girls ran against all of
the NCC teams tonight except for
Spartans
Webster City and came in fourth
within the conference teams,”
Maxwell said. “This was a great
meet to run in as we run here again
for conference on October 14th.” The Cadet boys were led by
Landon Boomsma’s 26th place
individual finish among 139 Varsity
boys’ runners. Ruben Zeitler and
Jacob Sundholm finished 59th and
62nd, and Brayden Penning went 88th
and Joe Hanson 112th to round out

Spartans fall just short at Wapsie Valley
By PATTI RUST
FAIRBANK – Grundy Center
head coach Brent Thoren described
the first half of the Spartans’ game
at Wapsie Valley Friday night the
best half of football they had played
so far this season. As the young
Spartans continue their path toward
improvement, they’ll be looking to
clean up late in the game errors that
have kept that first win at bay.
“Our kids played with effort
and emotion, but towards the end
of the game we began to have
mental mistakes and that took a
toll,” Thoren said. “Turnovers and
penalties really were the deciding
factors. I’m proud of how our kids
played going on the road and in a
tough environment; we just came
up short.”
Grundy Center dominated
the first half of play, scoring 17
unanswered points. The Spartans’
first score came when Bryce Flater
landed on a botched Wapsie Valley
snap that rolled into the end zone.
Soon after, Brock Rohler connected
with Jordan Stoner on a 36-yard
touchdown pass to put the Spartans
up 14-0 at the end of the first
period. Grundy Center spread their
lead to 17-0 in the second quarter
on a Rohler 24-yard field goal.
From that point on Wapsie Valley
began to slowly chip away at the
Spartan lead, putting their first
points on the board with just 1:27
to go in the first half on a 66-yard
run by Warrior quarterback Andrew
Buzynski.
Neither team broke through for
a score in the third quarter, but the
Warriors scored in the fourth on a
60-yard touchdown run by Caleb
Knipp to make it 17-14. With 4:26
to go in the game Buzynski found
the end zone again, this time on
a 24-yard run. With time running
out, Wapsie Valley shut down
Grundy Center’s final run with an
interception. The game came to a
halt with just 12.6 seconds on the
clock, when after Spartan fumble
recovery Buzynski, who was
playing his first game back after
an injury, collapsed to the ground
and was taken by ambulance for
medical attention. A somber end
to an otherwise intense game,
Wapsie Valley prevailed 21-17 for
a homecoming victory. No update
was available on Buzynski’s
condition at the time of this writing.
Wapsie Valley’s Knipp led all
rushers with 169 yards in 28 carries
and one touchdown. Buzynski went
99 yards in nine carries, scored
two touchdowns, and had one
interception.
A m o n g G r u n d y C e n t e r ’s
highlights, Flater ran for 79 yards
in 18 carries, recovered a fumble
for a defensive touchdown, and
claimed one interception. Rohler
completed 6-of-15 passes good for
85 yards and a touchdown. Stoner
caught two passes for 51 yards and
a touchdown, and Austin Burroughs
caught three passes for 38 receiving
yards.
Even with the loss, Coach
Thoren notes the significant
progress made by the Spartans.
“I know some people will
look at our record and shake their
heads, but if you have watched us
from week one to now we have
made tremendous strides,” he
said. “Winning is a process. It’s
learning of that process that we
are in right now. The next phase is
to put four quarters together and
learning to finish the game.”
The Spartans’ next opportunity
to do so will come when they host
BCLUW for Grundy Center ’s
Homecoming game this Friday, Oct.
3, at Spartan Stadium.

Spartans down West Marshall,
split at Cedar Falls tournament
GRUNDY CENTER — Grundy Center extended its conference
winning streak last Tuesday before
going 2-2 at the Cedar Falls Tournament Saturday, with both losses
coming to highly-ranked teams.
The Spartans (17-5 overall, 4-0
in the North Iowa Cedar League
West Division and ranked No. 8 this
week in the Iowa Girls High School
Athletic Union’s Class 2A rankings)
downed West Marshall 25-13, 2514, 25-10 in a well-played match
Tuesday.
“We started slow and then would
build and go with it,” Spartan coach
Darwin Sents said. “We were working on trying to get some consistency
— we want to try to get the offense
going and picked up, and it felt like
we got some things going.”
The usual balanced Spartan attack saw Katie Lindeman and Noel
Saak lead the way with seven kills
each and Landry Luhring contribute
six while both Hana Edgerton and
Kayla Mathews had five kills. Edgerton added three blocks while Saak
and Piper Johanns combined for nine
of the Spartans’ 15 service aces in
the match.
“We did some good things, but
the team feels like there’ s a lot more
they could have done,” Sents said.

Spartans split at
Cedar Falls Tournament
The Spartans went 2-1 in pool
play before losing in the first round
of championship elimination play
in a Cedar Falls tournament that
featured no fewer than six ranked
teams.
The Spartans opened with a 219, 21-5 victory over Cedar Rapids
Washington, hitting .514, before
falling in two sets to Class 5A No.
5 ranked West Des Moines Dowling, 21-12, 21-13. Grundy Center rebounded with a 21-5, 21-10 victory
over Des Moines East in their final
pool match.
“Against Dowling we were in it
for about the first half of both games
and then we let them get away,”
Sents said.
“Dowling is really good when
they’re playing well and they played
well against us,” he said. “We need
to make sure we’re forcing the other
team to make mistakes.”
The Spartans took Dike-New
Hartford, ranked No. 2 in Class 2A,
to the brink in their first elimination
match, dropping the first set 22-20,
winning the second 21-15 and dropping the third 15-13. Sents said the
Spartans led at the 10-point mark
in both sets that they dropped to the
three-time defending Class 2A state
champions.
“That was the match where I felt
like we turned the corner a little bit,”
Sents said. “We brought some physical intensity and mental toughness.”
Sents said the challenge playing
D-NH is that it keeps coming at you
offensively.
“They just kept scoring and we

Cougars
spoil BCLUW
homecoming
By ROB MAHARRY
Mid-America Publishing
CONRAD — AGWSR did not
attempt a single pass Friday night
against BCLUW, yet racked up more
than 400 yards on the ground and
spoiled homecoming for the Comets
with a dominant 51-6 win in Conrad.
“Just keep pounding. If you don’t
have to throw, why throw?” AGWSR
coach Skip Eckhardt asked after
the game. “The guys did a good job
blocking and running, and that’s what
we’re about: getting out here and running the ball.”
The Cougar offense got rolling
early when junior running back Levi
Stockdale capped a nine play, 62-yard
drive with a nine-yard touchdown run
up the middle of the field. On its next
drive, BCLUW used a hard count on
fourth and six to get within a yard of a
first down, but a subsequent false start
forced the Comets to punt.
Stockdale picked up right where he
left off, breaking a pair of first down
runs before scoring his second touchdown of the night on a 15-yard scamper to the right. A missed extra point
made the score 13-0 in favor of AGWSR with about two and a half minutes remaining in the opening frame.
After forcing another three and
out, the Cougars took back possession, and this time junior Josh Balvanz carried the load on the ground.
On the last play of the first quarter,
Balvanz bolted for a 52-yard gain,
and Stockdale punched in his third
and final score of the night from three
yards out to give AGWSR a 19-0 lead
early in the second quarter.
BCLUW quarterback Mitch Miller found wide receiver Will Garber
streaking down the right sideline for
a 37-yard gain on the ensuing drive,
but the Comet momentum stalled
when AGWSR defensive end Brandon Johnson intercepted an attempted screen pass on the next play. The
Cougars marched right back down the
field, and quarterback Cody Williams
found the end zone on a sneak play
from two yards out with 5:11 remaining in the opening half to give his
team a 25-0 lead.
Garber punted all the way down to
the Cougars’ three-yard line after another stalled Comet drive, but it only
took AGWSR four plays to score another touchdown. Balvanz gained 20
yards and tacked on 15 more due to
a facemask penalty against BCLUW,
and he ran for 37 more yards on
the next play. Senior fullback Clay
Meinders rumbled up the middle for
a four-yard touchdown, and the Cougars led 32-0 at halftime.
Meinders added two more short
touchdown runs in the third quarter to
stretch the advantage to 45-0 before
the Comets finally entered the scoring
column. Miller found running back
Luke Asche on a screen pass, and the
senior did the rest, breaking multiple
tackles for a 60-yard touchdown.
AGWSR’s
Tate
Hofmeister
notched the last score of the game, a
four-yard touchdown run in the fourth
quarter that put the Cougars in front
51-6.
“They did exactly what we thought
they were going to do. There was
nothing different,” BCLUW coach
Anthony Jahr said. “I don’t think they
threw the ball a single time, and they
didn’t need to.”
Stockdale had little trouble moving the ball against the BCLUW defense. The junior carried 19 times
for 155 yards and three touchdowns.
Meinders also scored three touchdowns to go with 17 attempts and 112
yards, and Balvanz tallied 159 yards
on just 12 carries. Winning the time of
possession battle has been an area of
emphasis for the Cougars this season,
and Eckhardt was pleased with his
