Breaking ground ...
Orchard Hill Church begins work on new home
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER — Ten
years ago, a group of about 20 Grundy County families had a vision for
the future. Sunday that vision took
a huge step forward as Orchard Hill
Church broke ground on it’s new
Grundy Center worship center at the
corner of M Avenue and Highway
14.
The half hour ceremony featured
prayers for the project as well as
gospel music and the laying of
stones as a memorial to the Lord.
It concluded with ceremonial first
shovels of dirt, first by the children
of the church and then by project
leaders.
“You all know so well that this
has been a journey we’ve been on
for a long time,” Church Business
Manager Pat Oehler told those
gathered. “Orchard Hill Church has
been (in Grundy Center) for 10 years
and almost from the beginning we
were looking forward to a day like
this and the days that are to come.”
Orchard Hill Church originally
opened in Cedar Falls in 1962 and
held its first Grundy Center service
on Jan. 9, 2005 at the Center Theatre
in downtown Grundy Center. The
Stones placed at the building site provide well wishes, names and even favorite Biblical verses. (John Jensen/
The Grundy Register photo)
church has grown from its 20 or
so Grundy Center families at the
beginning to more than 200 families
that have contributed to the new
building.
“Today was just really the
fulfillment of God’s promise that
if we’re faithful he’ll be there for
us,” Dr. Stefanie Rohler, a member
of the church leadership board who
has been in charge of fund raising
for the project, said. “We really have
this mission to bring Jesus to next
generations. It’s something that’s in
the DNA of our church.”
Rohler admitted that seeing the
project transition from a vision to a
reality has been a little difficult.
“To be honest, until I walked out
here today it hadn’t really sunk into

being this dream on paper, but now
we see the lines out here.”
Though approximate lines of

still in the design phase.
“We’re hoping within the next
month or two to start building on
the site,” he said.
The project will begin with dirt
work, after which the land will need
to settle before construction can
begin on the structure. Hopes are to
work through the winter and for the
church to open sometime late next
summer or early next fall.
Keagle, a member of Orchard
Hill Church’s Cedar Falls campus,
said the company he works for has
done many church projects, though
this one has some extra meaning.
“My faith is a big part of my life,
and to kind of incorporate that with
my work and be able to enjoy and
partner with Orchard Hill on this
campus is really exciting for me
personally. It’s going to be a very
special project for me and my company.”
Rohler said the way everything
came together showed how God
wanted the project to happen.
“This piece of property we
wanted from the very beginning,
and many people in this community have wanted it,” she said. “So
through a series of God events they
came to us and it’s available. We
happened to have saved the exact
amount of money that this property
cost at that time … if that’s not a
sign that God’s really wanting us to
do this …”
Grundy NEWS Register
Dave Bartlett, one of Orchard
Hill’s senior leaders, talked of how
the recent loss of two of his grandchildren in an automobile accident
changed his perspective on this
project.
“I stand here and I see it so different than I saw it 40 days ago,” he
said referring to the date of the accident. “It looks and feels completely
different. I’m more committed to a
project like this than I was 40 days
ago.”
He talked of finding five books
on a table by his grandson’s bed
after his death, noting that four of
the five were about faith.
“When I see them there, I see
that the church helped those kids
encounter and follow Jesus,” he
said. “That’s what this is about.
Grundy County was our mission
helping next generations encounter
and follow Jesus to bless a broken
world.”
Rohler, too, said the new worship
center is less important to she and
her family than it is to the future of
the church.
“What I think about is 50 years
from now when I’m gone, that the
Gospel will still be being preached
here and these little kids that were
digging up shovels of dirt will be
my age and I hope they continue
with the DNA of Orchard and they
continue to pass on the gospel from
generation to generation, as has
happened for 2,000 years.”

Magistrate Court
GCMH recognized for technology’s
impact on patient care
GRUNDY CENTER – For the
second year in a row, Grundy County Memorial Hospital (GCMH) has
received national recognition for its
use of Health Information Technology. The hospital has been named
a 2015 ‘Most Wired’ hospital by the
American Hospital Association’s
Hospitals and Health Networks, one
of seven Iowa hospitals to receive
the distinction.
According to the American Hospital Association, the ‘Most Wired’
hospitals demonstrate applied technology such as electronic health
records and shared health information that improves patient safety
and helps patients make the most
informed decisions about treatment.
GCMH Information Technology
Manager Nick Betts says that receiving the award for a second year
is especially rewarding.
“We recognize that technology is
the future of healthcare, and we’ve
shown that even a small hospital can
thrive with its application,” said Betts. It’s rewarding to know that our
commitment to improved technology positively impacts patient safety
and staff efficiency.”
Hospital CEO Jennifer Havens
credits Betts and his team for an exemplary application of technology.
“What’s important about the
‘Most Wired’ distinction is that it
recognizes how well our hospital
has applied technology tools that
help our doctors and nurses make
the best decisions on behalf of our
patients,” says Havens. “Since the
implementation of our electronic
health system – known as Epic –
we’ve been able to capture and use
real-time information at the patient’s
bedside. For example, if a patient is
seen in our Emergency Department
and needs to be transferred to another facility, the receiving hospital has
instant access to the treatment our
patient has received. This accelerates the quality of care because the
providers are prepared in advance of
the patient’s arrival – and in an emergency situation this can have a lifesaving impact.”
Havens says Grundy County Memorial Hospital is proud to be recognized for its technology innovation
along with leading national health
care organizations such as Kaiser
Permanente and M.D. Anderson.
“Technology is speeding efficiency
and improving transparency,” says

the Grundy Center girls’ golf team
next spring. Both played four years
under R. Schupbach, who retired
after leading the Spartans to their
state-record 14th championship this
spring, and both played golf in college. Nelson had been head coach at
Gladbrook-Reinbeck.
Chris Conger will take over as
head boys’ track coach, replacing
Andy McQuillen who accepted
a position as secondary principal
at Gladbrook-Reinbeck for next
year. Conger had previously been
head track coach at Midland High

Havens. “Electronic records allow our patients the opportunity to
be even more involved with their
care through access to their records
online. Our patient portal displays
test results and eliminates the paper
process required in the past for a
patient to request a copy of medical
records.”
The American Hospital Association is a nonprofit association
of health care provider organizations and is a national advocate for
its members, which include nearly
5,000 hospitals, health care systems, and other providers of health
care. Its ‘Most Wired’ survey was
conducted early in 2015, collecting information about Information
Technology initiatives from hospitals across the nation. In addition to
Grundy County Memorial Hospital,
its health system affiliate, UnityPoint Health, was recognized as
‘Most Wired’. Broadlawns Medical
Center in Des Moines, Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames, Mercy
Medical Center in Cedar Rapids,
Genesis Health System in Davenport, and the University of Iowa
Health Care in Iowa City were the
remaining Iowa hospitals recognized
as 2015 “Most Wired.”

The Board also hired R. Schupbach as a junior high girls’ volleyball coach, Caleb Bonjour as a

agreement with Pel Industries to sell
Grundy Center Spartan apparel at
Wal-Mart and approved its annual

Following the open session,
the Board met in closed session,
as allowed by law, for the annual superintendent evaluation. No
action was taken following the
closed session.

Welcome to one of the biggest weeks of the year for rural Grundy County.
Fair week is upon us and I could not be more excited.
This is a week when Grundy
County gets to show the best of our
rural side. We see the best animals,
the best entertainment and, most
importantly, the best our young people
have to offer.
Rural fairs are as much a part of
Iowa’s culture as farming itself. In a
sense they are a week-long party. I
grew up going to the fair. When I was
young in Ohio, Mom and Dad would
take me to the demo derby to see all
the cars crashing into one another.
While there we would always walk
through the barns. I had no idea what
I was looking at, but I’ve always liked
animals and there were lots of them

there.
My first real fair experience came as a rookie reporter in Washington.
The Washington County Fair is one of the bigger fairs in the state where
agriculture is the primary attraction, and it was our newspaper’s philosophy
to cover it like a blanket. Every member of our four-person news staff spent
a lot of time at the fair, covering everything from the 4-H and FFA shows
to the grandstand entertainment. Though I made some mistakes in my first
year or two, after awhile I grew to enjoy covering the Fair there. When our
editor left to become owner of a newspaper closer to his South Dakota home
I took over lead duties on coverage. One of the things I learned there was
that working in lockstep with the County Extension office was paramount to
successfully covering the Fair. I also learned how important it was to work
with those coordinating each show and learned that, despite what you might
see on the surface, every show needs to be covered a little bit differently.
In Oelwein I faced a new challenge in Fair coverage — a fairgrounds that
was 25 miles away in West Union. We tried different coverage methods for
a few years — inviting readers to submit photos for our post-fair section and
covering it with our news staff as they were available — until I offered to
use our sports staff to cover as much of the fair as we could. I had experience
covering fairs, my part-time sports assistant had an agricultural background
and the summer sports season was generally over by then, so that seemed
to work great. I also helped a little with the Buchanan County Fair in
Independence, mainly shooting pictures of the rodeo, motorsports and the
queen coronation.
In Vinton we had the fairgrounds within a long walk of our office and had
workspace in one of the buildings so that we could work on the paper when
we weren’t at shows. The setup there was a lot like Grundy County’s, though
they had enough space for a small midway.
When I came to Grundy Center a little more than five years ago, Marilyn
Myers was our Fair correspondent and did a great job. It was an arrangement
that the Fair Board liked, as they knew what they were getting, and that our
paper liked because of the quality of Marilyn’s photos. I admit, however, that
I really missed being out there. There was a huge event going on and It was a
week that I could have just as easily been on vacation … nobody would have
noticed.
Three years ago when Marilyn decided that she would give up her role
with us I talked to Clint about just doing things in-house. We could save the
money we were paying Marilyn and, with our then-new partner in Conrad,
had enough people to cover the Fair without too much stress. No matter how
much I assured them, I know that the Fair Board was nervous about how the
Fair would be covered that year. I cannot describe how good it felt a day or
two into the Fair when Fair Board members started coming up and thanking
me for how we were doing things. I was actually concerned at that time
that we had made a couple of mistakes in the way we’d covered things (I
completely missed the tractor ride with Gov. Branstad, not realizing how big

a deal it was), so it was easy to assure them that things would only get better.
This year I am going to get the chance to share the Fair with my girlfriend,
Lynnette, who hasn’t had a lot of exposure to Iowa’s agricultural side. That’s
something I’m really looking forward to, as it’s a part of my job that I’ve
really grown to like. Much like she is, I was once basically a city kid who
knew almost nothing about farming.
• • •
Over the past 20-plus years I have seen a lot of incredible things happen.
One I had never seen happen was the birth of a new church building … until
Sunday.
Orchard Hill Church’s Grundy Center ministry has been alive for more
than 10 years, though it had never had a home of its own. Despite this the
church has been growing. There is something about non-denominational
churches such as this that tends to attract younger families. That was
certainly evident at Sunday’s groundbreaking, where there seemed to be at
least as many from the 30-and-under crowd as there were from the 55-andolder group that seems to make up the majority of today’s more traditional
churches.
I was impressed, Sunday, by a number of things I saw, heard and felt. I
could tell right away that these were spirit-filled people — that the love of
God was in their heart and that they were breaking ground on much more
than a building … but of a home. As a member of another local church (and
supporter of all local ministries) I was also pleased to hear several times
about how important Orchard Hill’s leadership felt it was to be part of the
entire Grundy County church family and not be an island.
Congratulations to the Orchard Hill Grundy Center family. I’m looking
forward to seeing you guys open your new church!

The Grundy Register is going to begin a series next week titled “Gone
Cold.” It’s a series produced by the Iowa Newspaper Association exploring
some of the most brutal and mystifying homicides in Iowa history.
It’s always been my belief as a small-town newspaper editor that we
should keep content as local as possible. This series is an exception to this
theory in that it will be exploring cases throughout the state.
This is one of those instances where I am running a series because it is a
topic that fascinates me in hopes that it fascinates you as well. I’ve studied
many of these cases, including those of missing KIMT-TV morning news
anchor Jodi Huisentruit (who was apparently abducted in 1995) and more
recently Lyric Cook and Elizabeth Collins from Waterloo. My father and I
would often watch “America’s Most Wanted” together when I was growing
up.
I’ve often thought that if I had not gone into reporting, becoming a police
detective might have been the next best thing. In a sense the two are related
— a portion of both jobs is digging up information that somebody else might
not want you to know.
One of the things the INA has encouraged newspapers that use this series
to do is explore local unsolved cases. Though there are no known unsolved
abductions or homicides in Grundy County history, we’ll certainly take some
time to sit down with local law enforcement to work on some stories related
to this.
I hope you enjoy the series.

Thank You Center Theatre’s
The benefit held for our family
over the Felix Grundy Festival
weekend was incredibly humbling.
We are givers, but this time we were
receivers for ongoing expenses
incurred during Ralph’s recent
lengthy hospitalizations. It is never
a position you want to be in, trust
me. However, the outpouring
love, support, and kindness we
have received and felt through our
“adventure” has been incredible and
humbling.
A HUGE THANK YOU to Brian
& Kaylene Hoskins, Fred & Vicki
Abels and Dan & Carol Blythe for
organizing the event with countless
hours of seeking donations for the
Silent Auction & food for the lunch!
THANK YOU, also to Thrivent
Financial for the matching funds.
THANK YOU for Ronda’s
amazing colleagues who helped
work at the benefit. It felt amazing
to finally get my “end of the school
year” hugs.
THANK YOU to students, staff,
and community members who
donated such incredible items for
the Silent Auction! Your creativity
and support is beyond measure.
THANK YOU to those of you

Local residents tour Europe
On Tuesday, June 22, 11 area
travelers headed to Des Moines and
boarded a flight for London and
a two week grand tour of Europe.
Grundy County residents Ron
Dellit, Doug and Neva Jordan, Curt
and Kathy Juel, Don and Cheryl
Osterhaus, and Steve and Barb
VanderPol were joined by Harvey
and Shirley Kimble of Urbandale.
In London, the Iowans met the
14 other Americans on their tour
and were treated to a gourmet
meal at the H10 Hotel. After
a sightseeing bus tour, group
members were free to explore.
Among the London activities were
a tour of Windsor Castle, High
Tea, shopping at Harrod’s (Cheryl
and Neva tried on $7,000.00 hats!),
a trip to the Victoria and Albert
Museum and attending a West End
musical: Sunny Afternoon (a show
based on the music of the Kinks).
Next stop was Paris via the
Chunnel and a Eurostar high speed
train. The first evening in Paris
featured traditional French cuisine
(French onion soup and cassoulet –
a casserole featuring meat and white
beans) and a trip to Montmartre. A
bus tour allowed tourists to make
stops at Les Invalides and Notre
Dame. Explorations the next day
included the observation deck atop
the Montparnasse Tower, the Eiffel
Tower, the Fragonard perfume
shop, a tour of the Garnier Opera
House, and shopping in the sixth
arrondissement.
On to Amsterdam by train.
Once there, the group got on a
charter bus. The first stop let the
tourists take a look at a windmill
just outside of town. The city
itself offered opportunities to visit
outdoor markets, the Rembrandt
Museum, the Ann Frank House,
and the trendy, touristy Red Light
District. An Amsterdam highlight
was a canal tour featuring both
traditional architecture and striking
modern buildings.
The next leg of the journey
featured several stops in
Germany. The first was to see the
impressive cathedral in Cologne.
From Cologne, on to Boppard.
There, a cruise boat took tourists
on a leisurely Rhine River cruise
featuring a number of castles built
on the bluffs of the River. From
Boppard to our hotel in Mannheim.
The day closed with a traditional
German meal of pork, dumplings
and red cabbage. The highlight of
the next day was a cog railway trip
up the steep bluff to Heidelberg
Castle. The guided tour featured
a spectacular view of the city and
river below. There was plenty of
time to exploer the old heart of the
city.
To the Alps! A scenic bus ride
through the Alps brought us to the
shores of Lake Lucerne. It was a
beautiful clear evening. A full moon
made for ideal conditions for a
lakeside stroll. The next day saw
a visit to the Lion Memorial and
a beautiful Catholic Church. The
day’s high point (literally) came
with a ride via aerial cableway
to the top of Mount Pilatus. The
weather was spectacular and the
view from the observation deck
extended some 200! The group
descended the mountain via the

Max, based on a remarkable true
story, is about precision-trained military dog, Max that serves on the frontlines in Afghanistan alongside his
handler, U.S. Marine Kyle Wincott.
But when things go terribly wrong on
maneuvers, Kyle is mortally wounded
and Max, traumatized by the loss of
his best friend, is unable to remain in
service. Shipped stateside, the only
human he seems willing to connect
with is Kyle’s teenage brother, Justin,
so Max is adopted by Kyle’s family,
essentially saving his life. But Justin
has issues of his own, such as living
up to his father’s expectations for him;
he isn’t interested in taking responsibility for his brother’s troubled dog.
However, Max may be Justin’s only
chance to discover what really happened to his brother that day on the
front, and with the help of a toughtalking young teen, Carmen, who has
a way with dogs, Justin begins to appreciate his canine companion. Justin’s growing trust in Max helps the
four-legged veteran revert back to his
heroic self, and as the pair race against
time to unravel the mystery, they find
more excitement—and danger—than
they bargained for. But they each
might also find an unlikely new best
friend…in each other.
The huge box office hit from Walt
Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation,
Inside Out 3D, is set in the head of a
young girl, Riley, where five emotions
- Joy, Anger, Disgust, Fear and Sadness, try to lead the girl through her
life. Growing up can be a bumpy road
and it's no exception for Riley, who is
uprooted from her Midwest life when
her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided
by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler),
Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis
Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and
Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control
center inside Riley’s mind, where they
help advise her through everyday life.
As Riley and her emotions struggle to
adjust to a new life in San Francisco,
turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things
positive, the emotions conflict on how
best to navigate a new city, house and
school. Inside Out 3D, which quickly
earned over $300 million in only a
few weeks, has been highly acclaimed
as bold, sweet, funny, therapeutic
and a little heartbreaking with lots of
laughs and a smart storyline for kids
and adults both. Walt Disney Pictures
has done it again with their latest hit
INSIDE OUT 3D, showing this week
at your home for affordable, quality
entertainment - the Center Theatre!

Memorial Flower Garden
I travel past this special corner
many times everyday and I call this
the Tate Johnson memorial flower
garden. Curt and Leah Johnson were
surprised with this beautiful memorial
planted for them by many of their special friends. It started in June of 2012.
Curt and Leah were on vacation and
the work started. It was a passion of
love and a therapy work session for all
involved. It gets more beautiful every
year. As the flowers grow and bloom
it has become an angel garden. Leah
now shares the flowers with those
who have been there for them and
their family.
In 2015 Curt knew it was time
to replace the sand box that was the
favorite play area for Tate and his
friends. The sand was removed and
the digging started and not knowing
what the digging therapy would turn
into, has both Curt and Leah extremely happy with a beautiful corner of the yard. The pond. It is giving them a quiet place to sit and share
happy memories and tears. Curt has
shared a nice story of how he started
and finished this special project.
The Johnson family: Curt, Leah,
Tanner, Trevor and Trent can be very
proud and we thank them for sharing
their beautiful memorial flower garden view.

but are not limited to, a winery associated with
the growing of grapes on site, a corn maze,
pumpkin patch with games and hayrack rides,
or petting zoo, or for a Community Supported
Agriculture, or other type of agricultural business. Although agricultural related, these uses
are not considered agricultural uses because
they are designed to bring groups or individuals
to the site for commercial purposes. To be added to A-1 and A-2 Districts as Conditional Uses:
Section IX (G) and Section X (G): Agri-tourism.
1) Obtain Conditional Use Permit. 2) Submit a
site plan to Zoning Administrator that meets the
requirements of the ordinance. And to add Conditional Use Permits to Section XXIV (D)(3)(d)
and (e) as follows: d. To hear and pass on all

carry out those duties required by Statute or
Regulation. And to add Conditional Use Permits
to the Ordinance as Section XXIIIA, as follows:
SECTION XXIIIA CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS. A. Application. All conditional uses as
prescribed in the use regulation for the specific
zoning districts shall meet the requirements of
this section. Applications for conditional use

recommendations at the next scheduled regular
meeting. The Commission shall review such
permit and return a written report of their findings and recommendations to the Board of Adjustment. In their review, the Commission shall
consider each of the standards established in
this section and other prescribed standards
found in this Ordinance. 3. Conditions and restrictions recommended by the Commission
shall be attached to an approval of the subject
application in a separate paragraph in the written report. 4. Public Hearing Notice. The Board

the permit. Notice of time and place of the hearing, in accordance with established public hearing procedures shall be published. 5. The Board
of Adjustment shall, after report from the County
Zoning Commission and conducting a public
hearing on the permit, render a decision. In their
review the Board of Adjustment shall consider
standards established in this section other prescribed standards found in this Ordinance, and
the Commission's report with recommended
restrictions and conditions. The Board of Adjustment shall either grant the permit for conditional use, grant it subject to conditions, or deny
the application. The Board of Adjustment shall
not modify or lessen the degree of restrictions
and conditions as recommended by the Commission except by favorable vote of at least
three (3) members of all the members of the
Board of Adjustment in attendance. 6. The
Board of Adjustment may impose such conditions, including restrictions and safeguards,
upon the property benefited by the conditional
use as considered necessary to prevent or
minimize adverse effects upon other property in
the vicinity or upon public facilities and services.
Such conditions shall be expressly set forth in
the approval of the conditional use. Violations of
such conditions shall be a violation of this Ordinance. C. Standards. No conditional or special
use shall be recommended by the Commission
and approval granted by the Board of Adjustment unless the Commission and the Board
shall consider all relevant factors and standards
specified in other sections of this Ordinance
and including but not limited to the following: 1.

FAMILY FEATURES
Y
ou may be surprised to learn that cooking with olive oil is a
simple way to add heart-healthy “good” fats to your diet. In
fact, the health benefits, flavor and versatility of olive oil are
all good reasons that olive oil is a staple in many kitchens.
Not only can you replace other oils in recipes with olive oil (or extra
virgin olive oil for added flavor), in many recipes you can also replace
butter with olive oil to reduce saturated fat, cholesterol and calories.
Studies show that your body absorbs nutrients from greens and
vegetables better when they are consumed with a monounsaturated
fat such as olive oil. These recipes help you get the most out of your
veggies, and enjoy a decadent dessert too. Learn more at www.aboutoliveoil.org.`

GC claims district opener, Answered prayers ...
takes wild semifinal win Cougars rally to
By PATTI RUST
Sports Correspondent
GRUNDY CENTER — The
Grundy Center High School baseball
team closed its home season with a
flourish last week, winning a pair
of Class 1A, District 5 postseason
games at the Wilhelm Sports
Complex.
GC jumped ahead of North
Butler by seven runs in the top of
the seventh inning but had to hold
in in the bottom for a 7-5 victory in
Tuesday’s district opener and then
rallied from 8-0 and 10-1 deficits
to stun GMG 24-17 in one of the
highest-scoring postseason baseball
games in Iowa high school baseball
history.
Grundy Center 7, N. Butler 5
Austin Burroughs led the Grundy
Center baseball team to a 7-5 win
over North Butler in a Class 1A
first round district game at George
E. Wilhelm Sports Complex last
Tuesday night. Burroughs picked
up the win after striking out six and
allowing just one earned run in 6 1/3
innings on the mound, and he went
2-for-3 at the plate while batting in
the Spartans’ game-winning runs.
Grundy Center put up the first
runs of the game in the fourth inning
when Bryce Flater put the ball in
play and made it all the way to third,
scoring pinch runner Sage Klar.
Flater then scored when the Bearcat
pitcher attempted to catch him off
the base and overthrew third, giving
Grundy Center a 2-0 lead.
The Spartans scored another
run in the sixth when Flater outran
a throw to first base, advanced to
second on a pass ball, stole third, and
made it home on another pass ball.
In the top of the seventh Grundy
Center scored four all-important
security runs to expand their lead to
7-0, the first two on a Jake Bangasser
base hit that scored Braidan Buhrow
and Flater. Burroughs came through
with a double that scored two more.
North Butler would challenge
in their final at bat in the bottom
of the seventh. After a strikeout, a
pair of walks, and a Bearcat run on
a pass ball, Garret Weldon replaced
Burroughs on the mound. Weldon
struck out his first batter before North
Butler rallied for four more runs on
a combination of hits and Spartans
errors, but the Spartan defense held
on for the win.
Flater went 2-for-2 at the plate
including a triple, an RBI, and three
runs scored. Buhrow was 2-for-5
with two runs scored. Bangasser hit
once, scored once, and brought two
runs in.
“That win was an awesome win,”
Spartan head coach Jake Grafenberg
said. “(With the score) 7-0 going
into the bottom of the seventh I
knew I needed Austin (Burroughs)
to throw Saturday. He threw 6 1/3
great innings and only gave up one
earned run. I decided I needed to
save his arm, so I brought in Garret
(Weldon). We gave up a few runs but
I knew we weren’t going to give up
seven in that inning. Our guys ended
up pulling it out big and played big.”
The win advanced the Spartans to
the district semi-final game against
GMG on Thursday.

Spartans 24, GMG 17
The Grundy Center baseball team
overcame an 8-0 first inning deficit
with three back-to-back bat around
innings for a big 24-17 win over
GMG Thursday, in a three and onehalf hour district semi-final battle of
the bats.
“I don’t know if I have the words
to describe it,” Grundy Center head
coach Jacob Grafenberg said. “I
think the biggest thing is it shows
a team that is never going to give
up. Going down 8-0 most teams
will shut down after that, but these
guys really pulled it out, did what
they needed to, and had some really
big innings to bring us back into the
game and win by seven runs.”
Down 10-1 after three innings,
the Spartans began their comeback
bid when Bryce Flater connected
for a base hit that scored Jared
Krausman, then scored himself a
few plays later on a pass ball. Austin
Burroughs then drilled a ball to the
left field fence for a double that
scored Jake Bangasser and Jared
Clapp. Grant Weldon followed suit
with a double to the right side of
the field that scored Burroughs, and
Braidan Buhrow connected for a
base hit to score Weldon to close the
gap at 10-7.
Three walks and a pair of hits
saw GMG add two runs in the
bottom of the fourth, and with bases
loaded Braidan Buhrow replaced
Grant Weldon on the mound for the
Spartans. The Wolverines scored
three more before Austin Burroughs
denied a certain base hit, snagging a
hard hit grounder between shortstop
and third base and making a just-intime throw to first for the final out.
The Spartans would put together
their biggest inning yet with nine
runs in the fifth on a combination
of walks, hit by pitches, and base
hits by Buhrow, Krausman, Garret
Weldon, and Bangasser. A Spartan
16-15 lead going into the bottom
of the fifth would not last long, as
GMG scored two more to make
it 17-16 Wolverines. Burroughs
replaced Buhrow on the mound for
the Spartans to close out the inning.
Grundy Center put together
another huge scoring run in the sixth.
They opened the inning by loading
the bases with a hit by Burroughs
and bunts by Grant Weldon and
Buhrow. Krausman then put the ball
in play and outran the throw to first
while two runs scored. Flater, Sage
Klar, and Garret Weldon would all
add hits as five more Spartan runs
came home.
Burroughs struck out two GMG
batters and threw one out at first in
the sixth, and no score by either team
in the seventh ended the game at 2417.
Coach Grafenberg attributed the
win to the momentum gained when
the Spartan bats came alive in the
fourth inning.
“That really got us going and
showed that we were going to get
runs this game and showed that
our guys can hit the ball,” he said.
Batting around three innings in a
row – that’s huge. That’s something
that we didn’t have a chance to do a
whole lot this year and it gives our
guys a lot of confidence. With how
many runs we’ve scored this year I
didn’t expect to put up 31 runs in the
past two games.”
“It seems like every time we
come to districts our guys find a way
to work hard and pull everything
they have and give us their all,” he
said.
Burroughs struck out four and
held GMG hitless and scoreless in
the final 2 1/3 innings. He also went
2-for-3 at the plate, scored three
runs, and recorded four RBIs. Grant
Weldon went 3-for-4 with three
runs scored and two runs batted in.
Buhrow, Krausman, Flater, Klar, and
Garret Weldon all hit twice, Buhrow
and Weldon both with three RBIs.
Jared Clapp and Flater scored four
runs each.
The win set the stage for a district
final showdown with GladbrookReinbeck at Traer on Saturday.

FORT DODGE — AGWSR’s
Anna Jaspers said a little prayer before she went to the plate in the seventh inning.
It must have been some divine intervention for the Cougars’ No. 8 hitter because she led off with a double
that hit the base of the fence as her
team trailed 3-0 and was down to
their last three outs in the Class 1A
state opener against Bellevue Marquette.
It started a six-hit, six-run rally
as No. 5 AGWSRcame all the way
back to defeat the Mohawks 6-5 on
Tuesday, July 21 at Harlan and Hazel Sports Complex in Fort Dodge.
“(I told them to) keep hitting
it hard,” AGWSR co-coach Scott
O’Brien said. “’Something is going
to drop,’ and that is what happened.
Finally, the ball hit an open area and
we hit it hard. I don’t know if it was
ever going to happen, but thank God
it did.”
Jaspers hit to left knocked the top
of the fence and then Addi Johnson
followed with a double to deep center to trade places with Jaspers and
score the first run.
And then the Cougars kept making contact. Alana Groninga forced
an error at short and Maddie Deters
singled home a run with a hit to left.
By the time AGWSR made the
first out, it only trailed by a run and
two runners on base.
“Finally, we got that big hit by
Jaspers to get us started and then to
have Addi Johnson do that back-toback, then they realized it could happen,” O’Brien said. “We got some
stunning state tourney win
Cougar players celebrate their improbable come-from-behind victory in
the first round of the Class 1A state softball tournament. (Kristi Nixon/
Mid-America Publishing photo)
hits and that is when we started to
believe.”
The Cougars were down to their
last out on a fielder’s choice at third
base on a ball hit by Megan Marlette,
but Jami Johnson hit a run-scoring
single down the third base line that
scored Maddie Deters and Jodi
Johnson hit a two-run single to get
some insurance.
“I knew we had one more inning,” AGWSR senior pitcher Ashley Sicard said, “so I knew we could
get our bats going.”
Marquette was seeking revenge
after falling to the Cougars last year
in the first round on a much-disputed play at the plate. The Mohawks
came out ready to hit.
“They came out like I thought
they would,” O’Brien said. “I told
everyone that they would come out
of the dugout swinging and they did.
We didn’t quite locate our pitches
the way we wanted to and they were
ready to play. They lost a heartbreaker to us last year here and we
expected them to come out after us
and they did.”
Sicard, after giving up three hits
and a walk early to trail 2-0 after the
first inning, settled down and struck
out 11, including Marquette catcher
Bella Berthel, who had not struck
out all season prior to the fifth inning
at-bat.
“Ashley settled down and only allowed two more hits the rest of the
way,” O’Brien said. “We just had to
withstand that surge and then we left
so many runners on base those first
few innings.
“We could not get that two-out
hit when we needed it, but finally the
last inning, we started to get those
hits when we needed to and thank
goodness, because we were running
out of time.”
Marquette pitcher Nicole Blum
kept popping up the Cougars and
Jaspers, who was 2-for-4 against her,
said it was the low pitches that were
the team’s downfall.
“We were just trying to swing
hard,” Jaspers said, “and sometimes
they get the best of us.”
The Mohawks appeared to score
an insurance run in the sixth off of
a lead-off walk, sacrifice bunt and
RBI ground-out, but it only made the
comeback that much more dramatic.
“I thought that third run they had,
‘man, that’s a big run. That could
kill us,’” O’Brien said. “But we really gutted it out and kept battling.
Like I told Alana (Groninga) when
she came up, ‘hit it to the shortstop,
she’s a new player.’”

Cougars fall in district opener
By PATTI RUST
Sports Correspondent
GRUNDY CENTER – Despite
a late surge by the Cougars, the
2015 season came to an end for the
AGWSR baseball team in the first
round of district play against GMG.
Tied 4-4 tie after two innings,
GMG took a 10-4 lead with six
runs on five base hits in the third.
AGWSR scored one run in the top
of the fourth after a double to left
field by Jer Stull put him in scoring
position, and a base hit by Michael
Young drove him in.
The AGWSR defense held
the Wolverines scoreless for two
straight innings with the help of
a pair of strikeouts by AGWSR
pitcher Sully Hofmeister in the
fourth and two putouts by shortstop
Tate Hofmeister in the fifth. GMG
increased their lead to 14-5 after
scoring four more runs on an error
and three consecutive hits early in
the sixth.
AGWSR rallied for five runs in
the final frame on base hits by Cody
Williams, Brandon Johnson, Young,
and Hofmeister, but came up short
with a final score of 14-10.
Young went 2-for-3 at the plate
with a pair of RBIs. Stull batted
2-for-4 with a double, three runs
scored, and one batted in. Sully
Hofmeister was 2-for-5 with three
RBIs. Travis Holtzgraf, Hofmeister,
and Jake Willems shared time on the
mound.
AGWSR closed out the season at
6-18, while GMG advanced to the
district semi-final against Grundy
Center Thursday.

2A district semis
PARKERSBURG — A promising regular season ended in postseason disappointment for the DikeNew Hartford High School baseball
team.
The Wolverines (19-9) dropped
their postseason opener to NICL
West Division champion East Marshall, 5-1, last Tuesday, ending their
season.
The Mustangs (24-10) scored
four first-inning runs and added another in the third off D-NH starting
pitcher Nick Durnin, who had won
four of his five previous starts. The
Wolverines managed just three hits
against East Marshall starting pitcher Nick Long and scored their only
run in the sixth inning. The victory
the seventh of the season for Long,
who earlier in the week was named
the NICL West’s Most Outstanding
Player.
Connor Neuroth, Trent Johnson
and Jacob Moore had the lone Wol-
verine hits, with Neuroth scoring the
lone D-NH run.
Durnin struck out four and allowed five hits in 2 2/3 innings of
work before giving way to fellow
sophomore Clayton Mapel, who
threw 4 1/3 innings of shutout baseball while scattering three hits and
striking out two.

Unearned runs lift G-R past Spartans in district final
By JOHN JENSEN
The Grundy Register
TRAER — Gladbrook-Reinbeck took advantage of Grundy
Center mistakes Saturday on its
way to an 8-3 victory over the
Spartans in the Class 1A, District 5
final in Traer.
The Rebels (16-11) played Don
Bosco Tuesday, seeking its first
state tournament appearance since
2007. Grundy Center, which beat
North Butler and GMG in its first
two district games, finishes with a
6-16 record.
Gladbrook-Reinbeck coach Jeff
Charley credited his senior for
leading a team that lost 10 of its
first 16 games to within a game of
state.
“We just couldn’t get in that
groove early,” he said. “When you
play baseball you’ve got to play
baseball and when we got (the seniors) back after that successful
soccer season and we started getting in the groove and then we had
all kinds of rainouts and we don’t
play and then the pitchers get out of
the groove. They challenged themselves and our defense has been
phenomenal.”
Grundy Center coach Jacob
Grafenberg said it is never easy to
lose in the postseason.
“I’m proud of these guys for
even making it to this point and
putting their all on the field,” he
said.
Five of Gladbrook-Reinbeck’s
eight runs were unearned and another the result of a mental error by
a Spartan team that started seven
underclassmen and does not have a
senior on its roster.
“We were pretty aggressive on
the bases tonight,” Charley said.
“We had a couple fall in that normally we probably would have
only gotten one run, but we were
being extra aggressive and they
didn’t make the play so we sent
them.”
“In baseball there are going to
be mistakes — professionals make
mistakes, college guys make mistakes, high school guys make mistakes. They cost us some runs but
we still battled, we still fought and
that’s what means the most.”
That made a winner of Rebel
starting pitcher Joe Smoldt who
survived eight walks, a hit batsman and three wild pitches to pick
up his fifth win of the year. Smoldt
allowed just four hits and worked
out of jams in two of the last three
innings while improving to 5-1.

went 2-for-3 with two runs and an RBI. (John Jensen/The Grundy Register photos)
“He struggled,” Charley said.
“He wasn’t getting some of the
calls that he thought he should
get but he came back and fought
through some of that.”
The Rebels scored all the runs
they would need with four in the
first two innings. They stole a run
in the first when Camden Kickbush scored from third after seeing
home uncovered on Phillip Zimmerman’s pop up down the first
base line. They added two more in
the second on a Spartan throwing
error and a Brady Kuehl groundout.
Grundy Center cut its deficit in
half in the third inning on a Grant
Weldon RBI single and a Braidan
Buhrow groundout.
“With the postseason our guys
always come to play, they’re never
going to give up and they’re always going to fight any way they
possible can and that still showed
tonight,” Grafenberg said.
The game was still in the balance after Weldon’s second RBI
single of the game made it 5-3 in
the fifth before the Rebels score
in a Kickbush infield single in the
fifth and plated a pair of unearned
runs in the sixth after three straight
Spartan errors.
Austin Burroughs, pitching
for the third time in five days for
the Spartans, took the loss on the
mound, allowing six runs (three
earned) on seven hits in five innings of work.
“He kept us in a lot of games,”
Grafenberg said. “He pitched a lot
this year and I knew I was only
able to throw him six innings (due
to pitching limitation rules) and he
came out after five and said ‘I gave
you all I’ve got.’ I’m so proud of
that.”
GC finishes its campaign with
a strong postseason for the second
straight year after last season’s
run advanced them all the way
to the substate final. Though the
team does not have a senior, next
year’s squad will be without one
key component, as Grafenberg announced earlier this season that this
would be his final year as the Spartan mentor.
“It’s really hard knowing that
every single one of these guys is
coming back and I’m not going
Rebels open with tournament victories
TRAER — Gladbrook-Reinbeck
advanced to the district final with a
pair of early-round District 5 victories, 6-3 over BCLUW in the first
round and 2-1 over the district’s top
seed, North Tama, in the second.
The Rebels scored all the runs
they would need in the first three innings against BCLUW, plating one
in the second and three in the third.
They added a pair of insurance tallies in the fifth to take a 6-0 lead
before the Comets came back with
three in the bottom of the frame to
make things competitive.
Joe Smoldt led the way offensively, going 3-for-4 with three RBIs
while Logan Flamme and Bryce
Ehlers also had a pair of hits for the
winners. Smoldt was also the winning pitcher, striking out two and
scattering four hits in the completegame effort. All three runs he allowed were unearned.

Italy. If you liked one Alpine lake,
two should be spectacular! Lake
Como is home to some of the most
lavish homes in the Alps. Boarding
a water taxi, the travelers were
ferried to Bellagio for a gourmet
lunch. After lunch there was a lake
cruise to see some of the luxurious
villas for which the lake is famous.
The day ended at the lakeside town
of Lecco. The tourists had just
enough time to stroll downtown and
els trailed until the seventh inning,
when Cameron Murphy’s two-run
pinch hit single gave them the win.
North Tama scored an unearned
run in the first inning and made that
stand until the seventh, when Smoldt
walked and Bryce Ehlers singled to
set the table for Murphy, who has
been limited all season with a hamstring injury.
Camden Kickbush won his fourth
consecutive game on the mound
after beginning the season 0-4. He
struck out five and walked just one
while scattering three hits. He also
went 2-for-3 at the plate.

have a leisurely evening meal.
On to more of Italy. After
another scenic drive through the
Alps, the first stop of the day was
for a walking tour of the lovely city
of Verona. The featured stop was
to see the balcony made famous by
William Shakespeare in Romeo and
Juliet, but the city boasts wonderful
architecture – including an ancient
Roman amphitheater that is still
in use today. On the day the Iowa
tourists visited, the amphitheater
was being prepared for an outdoor
production of the opera, Aida. The
group arrived in Venice late in the
evening and took a water taxi to
the hotel on the island of Lido. The
next day in Venice featured a glass
blowing demonstration, a tour of
San Marco Cathedral and a gondola
ride complete with romantic music.
The last leg of the tour, Venice
to Rome, was made by high speed
train. It was HOT in Rome. So,
when the travelers checked into
their hotel late in the afternoon,
they took some siesta time. An
evening walking tour took in the
Pantheon and the Piazza Navona.
The evening meal was taken at an
outdoor restaurant on the piazza.
The morning brought a bust tour
of the city, followed by walking
tour of the Forum Romanum. The
afternoon featured the Vatican
Museums, the Sistine Chapel and
St. Peter’s Basilica. The day and the
tour ended with a farewell meal at
restaurant near the Pantheon.

they’re strong enough and I know
that they have the skill and I know
that they have the heart to, no matter what coach they have, but everything they have into the game.”
Grafenberg, who has coached
the Spartans for the past four years,
said he plans to relocate in the near
future and will be getting married
