The Grundy Register 2014 Thursday, April 17, 2014 Serving Grundy County since 1928 Volume 90 – Number 16 www.TheGrundyRegister.com Supervisors approve budget amendments By JOHN JENSEN The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER — A pair of budget amendments highlighted the agenda of a brief Grundy County Board of Supervisors meeting Monday. The Board passed resolutions for amendments to the County’s general budget as well as one for the Secondary Roads budget. Both were routine, with no public comment. County Engineer Gary Mauer also presented Supervisors with job descriptions for each of his employees. He said the descriptions were put together, and each employee signed off on the description, due to worker’s compensation reasons. He said the descriptions are patterned after those used in Hardin County. Conservation Board Director Kevin Williams reported that the Board has voted to pay off a loan from Black Hawk Economic Development that was used for the campground at Grundy County Lake. Deters noted that a budget amendment would be needed for the Conservation Board to complete the transaction. “You have the authority to spend the money, but not for that activity item,” she told Williams. He quickly apologized for the error and said he would contact those who hold the loan and make them aware that payoff would be later than initially expected. Williams also reported that the Conservation Board approved treating the gravel road to the campground for dust control. In other business the Board: • Accepted the resignation of Leona Rhodes from the Landfill Commission and replacing her with Jim Severance; • Approved a representation letter to the State Auditor and authorized chairman Harlyn Riekena to sign it.; • Approved the Iowa Governmental Health Care Plan Fully Insured Trust Renewal Options rate sheet and authorized Riekena to sign it; • Approved a utility permit for Alliant Energy to install new threephase power lines to Morrison.

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

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

I like to refer to the wild turkey as the king of the spring, strutting around being the vocal leaders of the hardwoods. Their loud vocalizations can be related to the thunder that wakes up the sky during a thunderstorm. That vocalization is known as the gobble, and to a turkey hunter that sound breeds excitement. As Iowa’s wild turkey season starts this week, it reminded me about the great recovery that the wild turkey went through to once again have a sustainable population. The wild turkey is one of the success stories of the United States and Iowa. When settlers landed at Plymouth Rock the turkey populations were in the millions nationwide. These large birds provided the settlers with a great table and market food. Like most of the native species the turkey population was unable to withstand the year round harvesting of both sexes. Also the constant changing of the habitat for agricultural purposes drove the turkey populations to dangerous levels. By 1920’s the eastern wild turkey population was estimated to be around 250,000 for the whole United States. Occupying only 12% of their former range, and only 8 states still had a hunting season. In the early 20th century most states formed conservation agencies which began the reversal of many of the trends that led to the demise of the turkey populations. Providing protection and developing ways to reestablish populations for species that were slipping from existence was the leading focus of the different wildlife agencies throughout the early 20th century. Not all of their efforts were successful, like in pheasants they attempted to release pen raised birds into the wild, but once again they achieved zero success. The pen raised birds lacked all instincts to survive in the wild. In spite of spending millions of dollars over several decades, no freeranging populations were produced. It wasn’t till the development of the rocket net trap that the agencies had a feasible way to capture wild birds and transplant them to unpopulated areas. Another factor in the recovery of the wild turkey population was the increase in habitat. Limiting grazing on federal and state lands, along with the purchase of more state managed lands aided in success we see today. By the 1980’s the population had increased to 1.8 million birds in 47 states, and today the population is estimated at around 7 million birds occupying every state except Alaska. In Iowa, trapped birds from Missouri, as well as Iowa’s Shimek and Stevens State Forests resulted in transplanting wild turkeys to 86 different counties between 1965 and 2001. The funding for this program was through revenues from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses, and the excise tax that is placed on the sale of arms and ammunition. The National Wild Turkey Federation also aided Iowa in the restoration efforts. Through these efforts many of us can enjoy either hunting or just witnessing the king of the spring strutting in an open field or a gobbler spitting and drumming just a few yards away on a calm spring morning. A Look back through The Grundy Register From The Cheap Seats Mother Nature teased us with a dose of spring last week. It was enough to get the most homebound of us outside in the sun, and enough to get those of us who enjoy the fresh air of spring as much as I do excited. Over the weekend I began thinking about the garden, as I often do at this time of year. The past two years I’ve put basically the same things in there — some tomatoes, peppers, squash and even the giant sunflowers that make such a mess at the Community Garden. Saturday after working at the 5K, I sat down and played in the dirt for a couple of hours, cleaning up last year’s mess. As I was clearing the plots (just enough for the weeds to take root), I started thinking about what to plant this year. The tomatoes have done well the past two years — so well that I’ve had far more tomatoes than I need or want, so I’ll By JOHN JENSEN be cutting those back to one, maybe two plants this year. I’m probably giving up on the squash after having lousy results, but might go a little more for green beans, which were one of my favorite vegetables when they came straight out of Mom and Dad’s garden when I was growing up. As I looked at seed beds the next day, I started wondering what my hairbrained experiment should be. I thought about trying popcorn, but corn doesn’t tend to grow well in an environment like that. I considered pumpkins (what would I do with them) and watermelons (who really eats watermelon more than a couple of times a summer) before something caught my eye. Strawberries. Strawberries go completely against my idea of keeping the garden neat this year, but they work right into my hopes of growing healthy foods that I would enjoy eating as snacks. I’ve read a little about growing them, and it sounds like its a little more complex than, say, growing tomatoes, but if done correctly, it sounds like the plants I bought for less than $5 could produce fruit for two or three years. I’ll let you know how they turn out. If it goes well I might have enough to share! • • • The cat is finally in the bag. After months of planning and several weeks of work, we wrapped up the Grundy County Community and Tourism Guide this week. Don’t worry if you don’t see it in your paper this week ... you didn’t miss it. This is a section that we had to finish several weeks before distribution Spirit Lake Murder They made their way to the Raebels resort while the Raebels were in town run- By SUE ECKHOFF Grundy County Heritage Museum Phillip and William Heincy, father and son, were the only father and son executed together in the history of the State of Iowa. This is their story. On the morning of December 15, 1944, the train stopped in the quiet resort town of Spirit Lake. It stopped just long enough to allow two shabbily dressed men to step off. They carried no luggage, and were strangers to the town. They hung around the station a bit, then wandered the streets, ending up in a bar where they had a beer and shot a game of pool. When it began to get dark, the pair headed west out of town. Their destination, five miles away, was a small secluded house on a bluff above Lake West Okoboji. On December 16, the local talk of the day centered on the gruesome scene at Raebel’s Resort, where owner Rob Raebel had sustained a mortal gunshot wound, and his wife, Esther was badly beaten. The Raebels owned and operated a small resort of 17 cottages. The operation was very primitive, but its cliental were loyal. The summer before, Henry Heincy and a female companion cleaned cabins for the Raebels. The pay was $100 a month, plus use of a cottage. Henry started off on the wrong foot when he answered the help wanted ad and gave the owners the impression he was bringing his spouse along. The relationship lasted only a month. Henry wasn’t “employee of the month” material, but he was bright enough to get a sense of the resorts finances. His dad, Phillip didn’t read or write. Henry brought his 72 year old father with him on his winter return to Iowa. Returning to Iowa, Henry and Phillip had with them a billy club and a gun.

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

News from Ivester Easter Sunday There will be no Sunday School classes on Sunday, April 20. April 27 Following potluck on April 27, Ron & LaDonna Brunk will be providing dessert. All are invited to have a brief look at the photos that Ron took on their most recent trip to Ecuador, and other Central and South American countries. Well, we received a copy of this old postcard and some information on it that someone wanted to share. Some residents in Madison, Illinois were cleaning and found this among other items dated from about the time of 1911-1916. The postcard picture says at the bottom ‘Hauling Potatoes, Grundy Cener, IA.’ From what I can read it says’ Dear Father: I am having a fine time. Will be home next Monday sometime if the train isn’t delayed. Will leave here Sun. 10p.m. and arrive at Union Station 3 p.m. Monday. As Ever, Ida’ It looks like it was addressed to Mr. Henry Weitkampe, Venice, Illinois. The postcard location is back behind the current Heartland Coop building off 6th Street. The building is still standing... it’s along where the railroad used to come through town. Who remembers this time period? Grundy Center Bowling • Grundy Comm.

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

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

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

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

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

The kids had a great time learning about all the animals and celebrating spring coming. (Courtesy photo) Congratulations to our 4-H members and families on a record breaking event. We served 1275 guests at the annual 4-H Omelet Breakfast on Sunday, March 30. If you were to ask us which came first the chicken or the egg? We would respond with “It doesn’t matter to us when you have the support of people from all over Grundy County and beyond!” It takes…many hours to prepare, a great committee, a lot of supplies and donations, many volunteers, and you. Proceeds from the event make a significant impact on 4-H, our youth & families. Funds are used during the year to help support youth program thru scholarships, enrollment fee support, record keeping awards, 4-H camps, State 4-H Conference, Washington Focus Trips and more. The funds also allow Youth Committee to help make decisions on various activities like workshops or fun nights that are hosted throughout the year. In October 2013 we were able to use the funds to support a free enrollment incentive to over 153 youth in Grundy County. Enrollment is $30 for our 4th -12th grade members. Youth Committee will be making plans on a variety of activities they would like to host for the 2014-2015 4-H year and want to invite all Grundy County youth to check out what 4-H can offer you! After doing a little research we discovered that the Grundy County 4-H Omelet Breakfast was started in 1994 with an idea from the Iowa Egg Council and our 4-H Youth Committee. It was held at the Grundy Center Community Center. They served 585 people and made $2,000 profit. Amanda & Alaina Akkerman won the top presale ticket award by selling $150 worth of tickets. In 1994 they started with only four omelet cooks and now we use twenty. Thank you for helping make our 20th year of the Grundy County 4-H Omelet Breakfast a record breaking year! 4-H Members and families sold tickets in advance and have earned incentives like a rubberband bracelet, tickets to the center theatre, 6-inch subs from subway, a 4-H bag and Fair Tshirts based on the number of tickets they sold. Incentives also included a drawing for two 4-6 graders to attend Junior 4-H camp; Winners are : Paige Strohbehn & Brooke Liston, Two digital Canon cameras; Winners are: Bryce Greiner & Clayton Van Loh, and a GoPro camera won by the Sawyer Family. The Omelet Committee included Shelly Luiken, Karen Benson, Robin VanDeest, Jacque Osgood, Jodi Dinsdale, Sarah Pakala, Kyle & Stacie Dudden. The committee worked hard to put on a great event! The Grundy County 4-H Omelet Breakfast is sponsored by the Grundy County 4-H Youth Committee and numerous sponsors and donors all over the County. It is with the help and support of the community that the 4-H Program in Grundy County can be such a great organization for our youth! We were also able to support the Fair Awards Committee in raising funds for the trophies and awards that are handed out at the Grundy County Fair and the Fair Board with their Tshirt sales. Fair Awards & Trophy committee raised $1005.02. Fair Board sold 53 T-shirts and invite anyone who is still interested in a shirt to stop by the Extension Office to pick up an order form. The Omelet Committee that consisted of Shelly Luiken, Karen Benson, Robin VanDeest, Jacque Osgood, Jodi Dinsdale, Sarah Pakala, Kyle and Stacie Dudden and the Youth Committee and County 4-H Council worked hard to put on a great event. We appreciate everyone who attended the Annual Grundy County 4-H Omelet Breakfast Sunday, March 30 and help support the 4-H program, Fair Awards Committee and Fair Board. We invite you to visit us at the Grundy County Fair July 23 -27. There is so much to celebrate in 4-H this year. Help us as we rediscover the Grundy County Fair. Omelet Breakfast. Fourth graders challenge you to become part of Feinstein Challenge GRUNDY CENTER — Alan Shawn Feinstein, the founder of the Feinstein Foundation, is a nationally known humanitarian. For the 17th year in a row, he is offering a $1 million challenge grant to help food banks around the country. Every dollar and every pound contributed to food banks from March 1 until April 30 will count towards his challenge. The million dollars will be divided proportionately among all participating agencies. During the month of February the fourth-graders at Grundy Center Elementary combined math with a community service project. During this time they were learning about ounces and pounds. They also worked together to bring in food to be donated to Operation Threshold in April, to participate in the Feinstein Challenge. Together the three classrooms collected 596.3 pounds of food or supplies which people in the community can use. On April 3, the Spartan Senators loaded up the food to take down to Operation Threshold. Bailey, Soren, and Cole volunteered their time to help Mr. Rottink deliver the food. They helped weigh the boxes, and returned back to report to their classes. They want to challenge you to join them in their fight against hunger. Any donations made toward this campaign make you a partner in the most successful ongoing effort to fight hunger.

Carson Parker claimed first place in the high jump with a jump of 6-3, and Ben Cuvelier took the title in the 110-meter hurdle event with a time of 15.01. Three Wolverine relay teams, the 4 x 400, 4 x 800, and shuttle hurdle crossed the finish first. John Crew was runner-up in the long jump with a jump of 20-1 ¼. The 4 x 200 and distance medley relays ran to a third place finish. At the Marshalltown Pentangular on Tuesday the Wolverines competed against several large schools including Cedar Falls, Charles City, Marshalltown, and Waverly-Shell Rock. The Wolverines finished on top in three events, Ben Cuvelier in the 110-meter hurdles, the 4 x 400-meter relay, and the shuttle hurdle relay. Taking second place were Carson Parker in both the high jump and the 110-meter hurdles, and John Crew in the 1,600-meter run. Wolverines landing in the third spot included Crew in the long jump, Cuvelier in the 200-meter dash, Gabe Eiklenborg in the 800-meter run, and the 4 x 200 and 4 x 800 relays. The Wolverines were scheduled to compete at the Jesup Invitational on Tuesday, April 15, and at Cedar Falls on Thursday, April 17.

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

With the score 2-2 at the end of regulation, the game went into two 10 minute overtime periods with no additional score, setting up the penalty kick showdown to decide the game. The APGC players missed their first three attempts, while Hudson found net on all of theirs, ending the game in a 3-2 Pirate victory. “I thought we started the game well and finished both overtimes strong,” Coach Goetsch said. “Unfortunately, when it came to the penalty kicks we failed to produce.” “Kym Lind had another decent performance making 11 saves on the night,” he said. “Morgan Eilers, Peyton Ralston, Katie Cole, and Lindy Clark played hard in defense. Stephanie Faust played with intensity the entire game and proved to a real workhorse throughout the game. I am proud of her hard work and I appreciate her efforts and her style of play during the entire match.” “Britney VanSickle and Amanda Taylor did a nice job in the midfield and took shots on goal,” he said. “Up front Harper Wells placed two goals in the back of the net and Madison Beenken, Jen Rust, Dylan Maxson, Nicole Sharp, and Kyla Sill all took shots during the game.” “Loses like these are always difficult,” Coach Goetsch said. “It is early in the season and it is a good sign that we are competitive with our competition. This week we will focus on fixing and improving some areas, which will make a difference in the outcome of these close games.” This week APGC was scheduled to face two highly ranked Class 1A teams, 10th-ranked Denver at home on Tuesday, April 15, and 5th-ranked Columbus in Waterloo on Thursday, April 17. Bethany Lippert of AGWSR and Tiana Saak of Grundy Center lead the 3000-meter run at Eldora. (Patti Rust/The Grundy Register photo) Lippert sets AGWSR 3,000-meter mark at South Hardin Invitational By PATTI RUST Sports Correspondent ELDORA – Despite a growing gap between herself and the rest of the pack, AGWSR freshman Bethany Lippert battled within, pushing hard the entire 3,000-meter race at the South Hardin United Suppliers Invitational Friday night. The result was not only a win, but new school record with a time of 11:40.05. “We expect her to keep bringing that down even more as the season progresses,” AGWSR coach Laurie Gann said. Lippert also placed second in the 1,500-meter run. The Cougar 4 x 800 meter relay team of Abbie Young, Maddie Brandt, Paola Cordova, and Jessica Lippert fourth, and Taylor Risius ran to fourth in the 3,200-meter run. In the field events, AGWSR earned fourth place finishes from Rachel Frazier in the shot put and Madison Fryslie in the long jump. “(I am) pleased with our first track meet of the year,” Coach Gann said. “The girls competed hard and had good results.” Dike-New Hartford’s Brooke Morgan claimed first place in the high jump with a jump of five feet three inches. The Wolverine shuttle hurdle relay team of Anna Poyner, Haleigh Durnin, Emily Fobian, and Claire Folkerts also took first. Finishing second were Jurane Lizer in the 400-meter dash and the distance medley team of Olivia Eiklenborg, Bailey Fettkether, Josie Hill, and Kadi Wright. Third place finishes for the Wolverines included Wright in the 800-meter run, Anna Poyner in both the 100-meter and 400-meter hurdles, the 4 x 200-meter relay of Eiklenborg, Fettkether, Fobian, and Hill, the 4 x 400 team of Wright, Lizer, Sadie Eden, and Poyner, and the sprint medley of Haleigh Durnin, Fettkether, Eiklenborg, and Hill. “During our two meets this week we saw at least 30 personal bests for the season,” Dike-New Hartford coach Diane Harms said. “We are competing on the track and getting stronger each time we run. It is a very encouraging start to the sea- son.” Hannah Stumberg of Grundy Center took the 400-meter dash title, as did the Spartan 4 x 400-meter relay team of Kayla Mathews, Piper Johanns, Katie Lindeman and Stumberg. The 4 x 800 relay team of Stumberg, Lindeman, Mathews, and Johanns ran to second place, and Tiana Saak went third in the 3,200-meter run. “I was very pleased with the way our team performed in Eldora on Friday night,” Grundy Center coach Todd Rohler said. “All of our times were faster than they were in Conrad the week before, and we are starting to get some girls healthy from illness and injuries.” “The competition was really excellent in Eldora, and I’m happy with the way my team responded,” Rohler said. “If we can keep on improving as the season goes along, then we will be in good shape when it is time to qualify for state and compete at the conference meet.” Host South Hardin won the team title with 124 points. Dike-New Hartford landed in the fourth spot, AGWSR went sixth, and Grundy Center ninth.

By PATTI RUST Sports Correspondent As the golf season gets underway, Coach Brad Hames sees a mixture of veterans and youth on this year’s AGWSR boys’ golf team. Returnees Owen Abkes, who placed sixth at the conference meet last year, as well as Kody Boheman, Carson Lutterman, and Derek Schipper, will lead the Cougar team in 2014. In addition, Tanner Reents, Tate Hofmeister, Jay Janssen, Jay Jaspers, Tyler Rose, Jacob Schachterle, and Dalton Schipper will all battle for varsity spots this season, according to Hames. This year Coach Hames is looking for more consistency from the Cougar boys as they begin their 2014 campaign. “Our expectations are to challenge for a conference title and be playing our best golf at the end of the season,” he said. “Consistency will be the key. We have the ability to shoot low scores, but haven’t shown that we can do it day in and day out.” This week the Cougars were scheduled to host North Butler at home on Tuesday, April 15, and South Tama on Thursday, April 17. Inexperienced Cougar girls’ golf seeks continuous improvement By PATTI RUST Sports Correspondent With just one senior, two letter winners, and five team members total this season, Coach Dan Bergeson and the AGWSR girls’ golf team is a little on the inexperienced side. “Brooke Harrenstein is my only senior and will be a good role model and leader for the younger kids,” Bergeson said. “Ashley Sicard is the other letter winner from last year, and I expect her to play well this spring. She has a great attitude for the game of golf.” “Kenzie Huisman, Kim Ventura and Madison Dieters are all juniors from last years’ JV team,” he said. “All three have shown great improvement from last year already.” Bergeson’s goals for the Cougar team this season are the same as for every team he has coached, that is, to try to get better every week and be playing their best golf come conference and tournament time. “With only having five players we won’t have the luxury of having bad nights,” Bergeson said. “Everyone will need to play their best each and every night. That will be hard to do, but we will give it our best shot.” The AGWSR girls will host South Tama at Ackley on Thursday, April 17. Spartan boys’ golf team opens season with victory Rebel soccer GRUNDY CENTER — Lane Bangasser earned medalist honors as the Grundy Center High School boys’ golf team opened its season with a 16-shot victory over visiting East Marshall. Bangasser, the lone senior in the Spartans’ varsity lineup, carded a four-over-par 40 to capture the meet medal by a single shot over junior teammate Nick Saak. Other contributing varsity scores included a 44 by junior Sam Thompson and a 45 by sophomore Austin Buhrows. Freshman Jesper Holke-Farnham and junior Tanner Pelzer had scratched rounds of 46 and 47, respectively. Zach Johnson led East Marshall with a round of 43. “It’s always nice to get off to a positive start,” Spartan coach Dennis Dirks said. “After losing a couple of practice days due to our prolonged winter, individually we made some mistakes yet our team score was respectable. “If this group can learn from its mistakes and make the needed improvements throughout the spring, they’ll be exactly where we need to be come tournament time.” Grundy Center also won the ju- girls fall twice Sam Thompson chips onto the sixth green during Grundy Center’s season-opening golf meet against East Marshall last Friday.

The 2013 Class 2A state runners-up return a solid core from last year, and Soppe expects their experience and depth to carry them through yet another successful run in 2014. “Our goals are definitely high,” he said. “There is a lot of great golf in this area and we want to be in the mix.” “What’s great about our girls’ team the last couple of years is that all six girls can score for us on any given night,” Soppe said. “We have eight girls out and I look for all of them to make an impact. They are a fantastic group to be around that I have enjoyed every second of, and I wouldn’t want to coach anywhere else.” Seniors returning to the roster this season include Maddie Brummond, Abby Camarata, and Ashley Dumler. Other returning letter winners are Bri Weber and Nikki Weissenfluh. “Ashley and Bri both finished in the top five in the state last year, so we are definitely looking up to them,” Coach Soppe said. “They are both great athletes who have had a lot of success in not just golf but volleyball and basketball as well. Their work ethic and drive are really second to none.” Soppe adds that some of the newer members of the team are expected to play a role this season. “Newcomers are sophomores Brynn Harberts, Katelyn Souska and freshman Katie Camarata, who I believe will all be in the hunt for a varsity spot,” he said. This week the Wolverines were scheduled to play at BLCUW on Tuesday, April 14, and at Denver on Thursday, April 17. Members of the Grundy Center High School boys’ tennis team include, front row (left to right): Ethan Hogle, Dalton McIntrie and Dalton Haverkamp, Back row (l-r): Jared Clapp, Drew Sharp, Andrew Day, Jarrett Stoner, Austin Grimm, Blake Henningsen and Jack Stanley. (John Jensen/The Grundy Register photo) Spartan boys’ tennis lineup shaping up for new season By PATTI RUST Sports Correspondent Grundy Center tennis coach John Baade will coach both the boys’ and the girls’ team again this year, and both rosters include some returning experience plus newcomers likely to make an impact this season. For the boys, this means a new number one player. “The boys will have the addition of freshman Drew Sharp who will be playing at number one to start the season,” Baade said. “Last year’s number one, senior Ethan Hogle, will be moving to number two, and senior Dalton Haverkamp should fit in at four or five,” he said. “Returning junior Andrew Day looks like a number three,” he said. The team also returns two sophomores to the court, Jared Clapp and Jarrett Stoner. New to the Spartan tennis program are sophomores Austin Grimm and Blake Henningson, and freshman Jack Stanley. “The early part of the season will shake out our final line-ups,” Baade said.

Meinders, who placed second in the shot at the Class 1A state track meet a year ago, threw more than six feet farther than anyone else at the meet, winning with a throw of 51 feet, 11 1/2 inches. Michael Young was sixth in the event for the Cougars. Senior Austin Heitland had a strong showing in the long sprints, placing second in the 400-meter dash, 17 100ths out of first, and third Members of the Grundy Center High School girls’ tennis team include, front row (left to right): Sydney Hogle, Piper Johanns, Gabriel Haman and Elizabeth Ash.

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

(John Jensen/The Grundy Register photo) D-NH boys’ golf may hold element of surprise By PATTI RUST Sports Correspondent Head coach Mike Soppe describes this year’s Dike-New Hartford boys’ golf team as “sneaky”. “I think we have a good chance to sneak up and compete with some really good teams this year,” Soppe said. Returning seniors on this year’s squad include Drew Aalderks, Alex Anderson, Dalton Feckers, and Byron Fritch. Other returning letter winners are juniors Dalton Mulgrew and Zach Nicholsen. “Byron and Zach have been our number one and two for a couple years now,” Soppe said. “We will really look to them for leadership. They are both incredibly great students, great golfers and great kids who I really enjoy coaching.” In addition to the returning veterans, Soppe expects some newcomers to compete for a place in the varsity lineup. “Royce Weber is a freshman who I think will play a major role for us,” he said. “Trevor Dumler and McClain Williams are two other freshman who will contribute and battle for a varsity spot.” The primary goal the Wolverines will be shooting for this season is to finish in the top three of the conference, and Soppe sees the performance of the younger players as key to making that happen. “I believe it is one of the hardest conferences in the state,” he said. “We need some young players to step up early this year.” This week the Wolverines were scheduled to tee off at BCLUW on Tuesday, April 15, and at Denver on Thursday, April 17. in the 200. Other Cougar place winners included Dylan Heetland sixth in the 100-meter dash, Nathan Karsjens sixth in the discus, Evan Janssen sixth in the high jump and Sully Hofmeister eighth in the 1,600. AGWSR’s meet at Jesup scheduled for Tuesday was postponed due to cold weather.

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

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

APGC soccer gets first season win over South Tama By PATTI RUST Sports Correspondent APLINGTON – The AplingtonParkersburg/Grundy Center girls’ soccer team picked up their first win, a 6-0 shutout of South Tama, in a busy first week of play. Earlier in the week APGC fell to rival Clear Lake 0-1 on the road, and lost a heartbreaking double overtime game to Hudson in a best of five shootout. APGC 6, South Tama 0 Four different APGC players scored goals in the 6-0 win over South Tama Thursday. Harper Wells led the way with the first hat trick of the season, finding the net three different times for the home team. Also putting shots in the goal were Stephanie Faust, Amanda Taylor, and Brittany VanSickle. Madison Beenken, Dalyn Maxson, Jen Rust, and Haleigh Steding all had shots on goal. Peyton Ralston, Katie Cole, Morgan Eilers, and Lindy Clark held strong on defense, allowing the Trojans just one shot on goal, and helping goalkeeper Kym Lind earn her first shutout of the season. Also helping secure the win were Nicole Sharp, Kyla Sill, Madison Kuester, Hope Clinton, Cara Kammeyer, and Kayleigh Walker. “It was good to get our first win as team,” AGPC head coach Cory Goetsch said. “In the first half, I APGC senior defender Morgan Eilers track a Clear Lake offensive player in the season opener. (Patti Rust/The Grundy Register photo) thought that we came out flat and our pace of game was too slow. In spite of the slow pace we did not give up any goals and we did score several. In my opinion, the first half lacked the intensity needed to put big points on the board.” “In the second half we played with more intensity and the intensity showed on the scoreboard,” he said. “I felt watching the second half was like watching a completely different team. I was proud of the way the The Grundy Center High School girls’ tennis team got off to a rough start last week, dropping a pair of matches on the road. The Spartans fell to Iowa FallsAlden 7-2 last Tuesday before getting shut out at Waverly-Shell Rock last Thursday, 9-0. As a whole we played better than we did last year competing in almost every game,” Coach John Baade said after the match against Iowa Falls-Alden. “I was not disappointed with any of our play considering it was the first outing.” Piper Johanns, who is competing in both tennis and track this spring, defeated Caroline Leaf 10-5 while Gabby Hamann was an 11-10 winner over Maggie Cooper.

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

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