The board voted unanimously to approve a motion that will vacate a portion of 280 th Street along the border of Palermo and Clay town- ships at the request of the landown- er because the road is barely trav- eled. County engineer Gary Mauer provided an update on bridges in the county, as five will have their embargoes lifted next year, and two more will be embargoed in the near future. Currently, a total of 44 bridges are embargoed in Grundy County. The Federal Emergency Man- agement Administration (FEMA) has de-obligated the C28 bridge project, and Mauer said that the county would be forced to return $149,000 in federal funds unless it appeals the decision. He added that such moves are currently happen- ing across the country, and super- visor Mark Schildroth noted that at a recent Regional Transit Authority (RTA) meeting he attended, engi- neers were expressing their frus- trations with FEMA. There was no official action taken on a possible appeal of the decision. “It sounds to me like you’re darned if you do and darned if you don’t,” Schildroth said. Supervisor Chuck Bakker in- quired about the possibility of changing an intersection along T-55 near Reinbeck from a four-way stop to a two-way after receiving an in- quiry from a trucker, but Schildroth and Harlyn Riekena both indicated that they would not be in favor of such a move. While Mauer didn’t have a thorough explanation for why it was a four way stop, he said that it has been there for along time, and a railroad track once crossed the intersection. “Generally, we don’t remove stop signs,” Mauer said. After Jeff Mossman, the owner of the “Conrad Mansion,” received approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission to change the zoning of his property from A-1 to R-3 in hopes of converting the large home into a senior living communi- ty, the board voted to set his hearing for December 5 at 9:00 a.m. If he receives approval, Mossman hopes to open the new business by next year. Schildroth reported that he at- tended a recent INRCOG meeting, and the board approved the mem- bership fee of 47 cents per capital. Chairwoman Barb Smith attended an Operation Threshold meeting and said that in 2016, six homes had been weatherized. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the board: • Approved the 2016 Family Farm tax credit applications. • Approved a vote for two rep- resentatives on the Iowa Communi- ties Assurance Pool (ICAP) Board of Directors. • Approved a vote to administer the suspension of the Health Insurer fee.

In all, the hearing lasted just over a half hour, and Mossman explained that with the current plans, he would have 10 beds available at the 16,000 square foot home, which is believed to the largest in Grundy County.

Myself, I wish there was that one piece of information that would come forward about a serious investor out there who’s interested in the build- ing. But do we have a serious investor out there? I don’t know, I don’t think so.” Stefl added that he believes the council has tried very hard to keep their options open for as long as pos- sible, but that the condition of the church continues to worsen. “It keeps appearing more and more at every meeting that this thing is get- ting even further away from us, to the point of being non-repairable,” Stefl said. “I think we’re running out of op- tions, really.” Other members of the council who were present, Al Kiewiet and Mike Ammerman, agreed. Don Seymour, an Associate Archi- tect at FEH Design in Des Moines, was present at Monday night’s meet- ing, and gave his opinion on the cur- rent state of the church. “I walked through it back in Febru- ary, and it was not a pretty sight,” he said. “I can only imagine what kind of shape it’s in now, nine months lat- er. Not having utilities for a number of years can take a toll on a building, and it dies a slow death. But now that you’ve got a roof collapse, it becomes even more critical to either stop it or get rid of it.” Seymour said that FEH Design could help the council with executing any decision they plan to make in re- gards to the former church, whatever it may be. If the council decides to tear it down, he said, then FEH could assist the city with reducing the cost of dem- olition by diverting much of the build- ing from the landfill. Seymour said that in most of the demolitions that FEH has overseen, they have been able to divert up to 90 percent of the building from the landfill. They do this by selling all the wood, windows, doors, hardware and more out of the building before it’s demolished. In some cases, he said, clients have been able to recoup over $50,000 just by selling junk out of their buildings before they tear them down. That money then goes right back into the client’s or in this case, the city’s pocket. Diverting from the landfill will also help the city maximize the DNR grant that they have received, because the more the city diverts, the more money they will receive. In addition, FEH would also docu- ment the scope of the situation, build a plan, a budget and a time frame, and then call up several contractors and advise the city on which bidder to go with for the project. Seymour said that FEH could also help the city plan and execute a reno- vation, if that is what they choose to do. The councilmembers present agreed that the full council needed to be present to make a decision about contracting FEH Design, as well as to make the final decision on what to do with the old church. City Clerk Kristy Sawyer suggest- ed that the council hold a work session to discuss the city’s options, before holding a vote during the next meeting to decide the fate of the former church. Each councilmember approved the idea. A vote will take place at the next council meeting on Monday, Decem- ber 5. Shown above is Kristle Davis alongside members of the “100+ Men and Women Who Care in the Cedar Valley” organization as they presented her with their donation for Kaden’s Kloset. Kaden’s Kloset is a non-profit organiza- tion that provides free clothing and resources to foster and adoptive families around the state. Currently, Kaden’s Kloset has eight different locations: Holland, Manson, Humboldt, Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Okoboji, Ankeny, and Newell. (Courtesy photo)

Class A State Champs Council moves closer to decision on former Baptist church
By MICHAElA KENdAllThe Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER – After months of scrutinous discussion, con-sultations with professionals and even a town meeting for residents to voice their opinions, members of the Grun-dy Center City Council seem to be ready to make a decision on the former First Baptist Church.
“We’re at the point where we need to make a decision here very soon,” said councilmember Dave Stefl. “The point of no return’s getting closer all the time.

From page 1the news,] I sat on the phone really quiet for a while with tears just flow-ing down my face. I was shocked.”
Davis said that up until now, Kaden’s Kloset has run almost com-pletely by the volunteers who staff the clothing closets, the communi-ty members who donate items, and a few monetary donations here and there.
DonationWith the generous donation from
the “100+ Men and Women Who Care,” the opportunities to help peo-ple increase dramatically, Davis said.
“After we found out we got the donation, I was just trying to process the idea of ‘What does this mean for the organization, for us?’” Davis said. “It really opens your vision of what you can do in the community because, unfortunately, you can do a whole lot more with money than you can without it.”
Davis said that part of the money will be used to continue day-to-day operations at Kaden’s Kloset loca-tions around the state, including the purchase of items for ‘move-in’ and ‘age-out’ boxes for local foster kids. The ‘move-in’ and ‘age-out’ boxes provide clothing, toiletries and oth-er household essentials for children moving into a new foster or adoptive home, or those who are aging out of the foster system, and will soon be on their own.
The rest of the money will come into play during the next year or two.
According to Davis, Kaden’s Kloset will be partnering with House of Hope (a Waterloo-based transition-al housing and support program that helps put homeless mothers and their children back on their feet) to provide young women aging out of the foster care system with a place to stay.
Davis said that House of Hope is working to secure a new location for their current residents, and that the organization plans to provide the oth-er location as a place for the young women to stay after they age out of the system. The rest of the money Kaden’s Kloset received will go to purchase household necessities and other items for the young women who will live in the house.
One thing that the money won’t go toward is the volunteers.
“Not a single one of our volun-teers has accepted a penny of mon-etary compensation for their time, and that’s incredible,” Davis said. “It’s incredible that there are other people out there that care enough to want to do what we’ve done here [at the original Kaden’s Klostet in the Colfax Church], and want to do it knowing that they’re not going to be recognized for their time, energy and resources. It’s just incredible to me.”
Growing up in the foster system herself, and then adopting a child of her own as an adult, Davis knows the importance of an organization like Kaden’s Kloset, and how something as small as new clothing can help more than most people would ever know.
The amount of formal aid for foster and adoptive families is lim-ited, and it’s volunteers like those at Kaden’s Kloset that help bridge the gap between what a foster child has, and what they need. By providing them with items such as new, clean clothing or a backpack and a toy, vol-unteers at Kaden’s Kloset locations around the state have helped to car-ry out the Kaden’s Kloset mission of easing the burden on foster children and their families.
Davis said that seeing so many people recognize, appreciate and en-gage in that mission is an experience parallel to none.
“It’s been such a humbling expe-rience to see all of these incredible people believing in this mission and believing that together we really can make a difference for the children in our community.”

GRUNDY CENTER – Thanks to an anonymous donation, the court-house received one AED (Automat-edExternalDefibrillator)andagrantfrom CPR Savers & First Aid Sup-ply of Scottsdale, Arizona, to help purchase an additional AED for the Grundy County Courthouse.
“It’soneofthosethingswehopewe never have to use, but we’regrateful to have in case anything were to happen,” said County Audi-tor Rhonda Deters.
The two AEDs are meant to be used in case of an emergency, by a trained professional if one is present, but each AED comes with instruc-tions for use if a trained professional is not present.
Deters said that having the AEDs is a safety precaution, and something that the safety committee has been interested in for a while.
The units each cost around $1,600, but after the grant, the coun-typaid$1,325fortheunitthattheypurchased.

From page 1nursing home, he described it more as a transitional arrangement for people who need some assistance but wish to age in a more peaceful and relaxed environment.
“We want it to be a place where the grandchildren and the children feel welcome, feel at ease and enjoy going to see grandma and grandpa,” he said. “Those are our plans.”
A d e m a n d s t u d y t h a t Mossman, who plans to serve as the administrator of the facility, brought to the meeting showed that there would be a need for an additional 19 beds in the area inthe near future, and while he plans to continue living in the home, he could move out to clear more space if need be. The gymnasium on the property will also be opened as a community center for wedding receptions, dances and other activities.
Board members inquired about the differences between Mossman’s proposed facility andthe already established assisted living at Oakview in Conrad, and he responded that because of the arrangement, his facility would feel more like a real home compared to the apartment set-up of most assisted living facilities. The home would be registered as a boarding house for seniors, and according to Mossman, there are currently about 100 of them in the state of Iowa. Iowa currently has the third highest per capita rate of senior citizens, after only Florida and Pennsylvania.
“We looked at the house and thought, there’s somethingwe cando different,” he said. “We just decided that this is more honoring to seniors than not doing anything.”
Mossman went on to explain that under Iowa law, his facility would not be strictly regulated, and inspectors would only get involved if a complaint were to be filed. He noted that he is currently working on striking deals with both the Central Iowa Healthcare clinic and NuCara Pharmacy in Conrad, which would allow doctors Steve Scurr and Tim Cooper to make house calls. He has a crew prepared to begin work as soon as he receives formal approval and hopes to open the facility by next spring.
After some discussion, board member Jane Katzer motioned to accept the proposal, and Tiffany Carson seconded it. The motion carried 6-0, and it will now go to the board of supervisors for final approval on December 5.

CONRAD- Trips for the music and science departments as well as a potential purchase of Apple lap-tops were among the chief topics of discussion at Monday night’s regu-lar meeting of the BCLUW school board at the elementary school in Conrad.
After some discussion, the board voted unanimously to approve the trips, and vocal music director Brad-ley Wilson and band director David Bartling came to the meeting to ex-plain their planned trip to Kansas City from April 6-9 of next year. Wilson estimated the trip would cost around $550 per student, and there will be several fundraising opportu-nities between now and then to help cover some of the costs. Of the 60 students currently involved in band and choir, 27 have said they would go, 14 probably wouldn’t be able to and 19 haven’t responded to a sur-vey. The district does not budget any funds for such trips, so students would be responsible for paying or fundraising on their own.
Wilson added that the students would likely attend a professional ballet and that such an opportunity wouldn’t be available in the immedi-ate area. The last time the music de-partment took a trip was four years ago, and Scott Cizek, the parent
of a music student, said during the meeting that it would be something special for the students who have worked so hard in music.
“These are going to give kids some memories that they can keep with them for life,” he said. “It’s something they’ll never forget.”
Bartling did concede that stu-dents and their parents would like-ly need to cover some of the costs that come with the trip. A motion to approve the trip with the caveat that Superintendent Ben Petty give final approval on which travel agency to use passed 7-0. The science depart-ment will be traveling to Chicago from March 30 to April 2.
The board eventually also voted unanimously to approve a three-year agreement with Diamond Assets to buy 300 Apple Macbook Air lap-tops, but not before board member LJ Kopsa raised questions about the effectiveness of the one-to-one pro-gram. Calling himself “the devil’s advocate” in the situation, he noted that in his conversations with mem-bers of the community, some have asked him if the laptops are really improving the quality of education for students.
“Are we turning out better stu-dents because they have computers, or are we just spending a bunch of money on computers?” he asked.
Board President Beth Neff re-sponded, however, that technology is simply a product of the times, comparing modern farm equipment with the old manual machinery when posing a question to Kopsa.
“Would you go back to what you had?” she asked. “You keep up with the times.”
Board member Eric Engle sug-gested the idea of an assembly for students and members of the public to explain how technology is used in the classroom, but board mem-bers seemed to agree that those who complain the loudest about the lap-
tops would likely not attend anyway. “You get comfortable, and then
somebody asks you a question. Do you think this is the right thing to do?” Kopsa asked. “It needs to be sold and proven to the people.”
After a lengthy discussion, the board voted 6-0 (Brian Feldpausch was absent) to approve a three-year contract at a cost of $120,000, and explore ways to better educate the public about how technology is used in the classroom in hopes of quelling concerns.
The Spectacular Spades and Awe-some Aces gave Lego league pre-sentations early on in the meeting, incorporating popular songs to solve real world problems with bird flu and seeing eye dogs. The elementary language arts department also pre-sented its curriculum report.
Petty reported that after a district audit, a few changes were suggest-ed to be more compliant with the Healthy Kids Act. Also, the board voted unanimously to approve the drug-testing program for employees who drive district vehicles.
The modified allowable growth for students who open enrolled after the deadline and at-risk allowable growth were also approved. The ear-ly retirement policy was reviewed, but the board did not make a final decision on whether they will offer it this year.
The board voted unanimously to approve the Promise of Iowa edu-cational campaign, and Petty com-mended the board for sending all seven of its members to the IASB convention in Des Moines last week, noting that most districts send one or two at most.
IN OTHER BUSINESS, the board:
• Approved the commendations as listed.
• Approved accounts payable.• Set the next meeting for Decem-
ber 19 at 7:00 a.m.
BCLUW board approves trips, discusses laptop purchase
BCLUW holds Literacy NightOn Thursday, November 17, the BCLUW elementary school held its first ever "Literacy Night," and over 100 students attended. The goal of the night was to invite students and their families in to learn more about reading, writing, and technology, and have some fun working on projects related to those areas together as a family. As part of the night there was a photo booth, book trade, ipad learning station, several writing and reading stations, make a turkey cooking by following a recipe and several craft stations.

We’ll all float on anywayAnyone who’s read this newspaper over the last year probably knows that
I’ve never been a big fan of Donald Trump, but if the post-outcome reaction and backlash has helped me understand anything, it’s exactly why he got elected in the first place.
In an election cycle characterized by disgust with the establishment, the Democrats ran the most uninspiring, technocratic, insider candidate of all time, and they paid a dear price for it. While the party loyalists now want to blame everyone but themselves for this crushing defeat, it’s quite evident that many of the voters that they used to have in their back pockets have aban-doned them and put faith in Trump to deliver on his promises, however mis-guided that faith may be.
One of the driving forces behind the rise of Trump was an anger at “political correctness,” a catch-all term that more or less became the idea that liberals are afraid to offend anyone, especially ra-cial and religious minorities, as well as the notion that today’s youth are cod-dled babies who need “safe spaces” to
protect them from ideas they may not agree with. In the aftermath of the election, colleges across the country provided all the
ammunition their conservative critics needed to be proven right: exams and classes were cancelled, therapy sessions complete with rigorous activities such as coloring and petting a dog were held for students, and protests that seemed to serve no real purpose sprung up everywhere. An Iowa legislator even got his 15 minutes of fame for his cheekily named “Suck It Up, Buttercup” bill, and it all drove home the point that Trump supporters had been making from the begin-ning: liberals are a bunch of entitled whiners who can’t handle losing.
Racism, sexism and xenophobia were the other reasons we’ve heard almost constantly from Hillary’s diehard supporters, and there’s absolutely no denying that there were elements of those attitudes in both Trump and some of the people who voted for him. After all, the KKK endorsed him, and the “alt-right” move-ment has become a cesspool of some of the most vile racists and anti-Semites on the Internet, though most of them are confined to social media and message boards. But as much as Democrats may refuse to hear this, I don’t believe that these factors can entirely explain why Trump won.
As much as it may pain the smug, arrogant left to face the facts, 35 to 40 percent of the people who vote are going to check the Republican on the ballot regardless of his or her name, and the same goes for Democrats. So in all real-ity, the two candidates were essentially competing for about 20 to 25 percent of voters, and many of the people who voted for Trump—including some that I’ve spoken to—did so reluctantly, much like the progressives who very much preferred Bernie Sanders to Clinton.
They weren’t proud of his comments, and they weren’t proud of some of his behaviors. But they weren’t about to vote for another career politician offering no real change from the status quo who’s become a multi-millionaire almost solely through peddling influence without actually creating anything in the pro-cess. This election wasn’t about whom you liked more—it was about whom you hated less—and Hillary Clinton may go down as the most viscerally hated candidate in American history. As one reporter wrote on a dispatch from the campaign trail, he’s never heard more grown adults use unprintable words to describe someone than in listening to voters lob pejoratives at Clinton.
This election wasn’t simply a referendum on white identity: Trump actually won larger shares of almost every demographic, including black and Latino vot-ers, compared to Mitt Romney in 2012. If you’re a grieving liberal, it’s easy to frame it that way, but this is the same country that elected Barack Obama twice by much larger margins (he actually won the popular vote both times, unlike Trump).
The bigger fact is that Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump were all gifted campaigners who connected with people and gave them assurance that their concerns would not go unheard. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, never really connected, and she never laid out an overarching plan for her presidency other than the fact that she wasn’t Donald Trump.
The lessons of this election will reverberate for years to come, and both par-ties will surely learn from it. For Republicans, they’ll soon find that eight years of obstructing President Obama at every turn won’t buy them any goodwill now that they have majorities in the house and senate, and for the Democrats, they’ll hopefully learn that a party that has always claimed to work for the underdog should actually do that and advocate for policies that benefit these people regard-less of their race, gender or religion.
In the meantime, it’s time for us to stop hating everyone who disagrees with us and make an effort to understand them. There aren’t two Americas, and we aren’t irreparably broken. This country has survived much, much worse, and in the end, internet debates and mostly peaceful protests are very acceptable by-products of a system that allows us to vote for our representatives and to some extent, determine our future. Life will go on, and Trump is not a unilateral dic-tator. If you disagree with him, there are plenty of ways to oppose his policies in a peaceful manner.
I wasn’t particularly happy to hear that Trump got elected, but I’ve accepted it and made peace with the outcome. If the next four years are as bad as the liberal doomsday preppers are assuring me it will be, they can feel free to shower me with I told you so’s, but until then, we’ll all float on anyway.

10 Years Ago This Week - 2006 Grundy Center’s Village of Lights celebration is Friday, Nov. 24. The featured attraction will be the cer-emonial lighting of the downtown skyline and a community Christ-mas tree. But there’s more in store. You’ll be fascinated by the artistic talents of man who converts a block of ice into a holiday sculpture using a chain saw, enjoy a holiday trolley ride, get your child’s photograph taken with Santa Claus, or attend helpful holiday seminars presented by downtown merchants. The Vil-lage of Lights celebration’s main focus will be ceremonies downtown about 6 p.m. A Christmas tree donat-ed by Holly Berry Trees will be lit at the lot adjacent to Primitive Starr on the corner of G Ave. and 8th St. with lights being donated by Pamida and True Value. Monday night, the Grundy Cen-ter School Board caught their first glimpse of what those curriculum mapping tools might look like. The plan lists learning benchmarks of what students need to know at each grade level in each subject. The grid lists “indicators” teachers will use to determine if a student successfully comprehends the material Some of the benchmark and indicators come from an educational organization called MISIC. That’s the Mid Iowa School Improvement -Consortium where Grundy Center is one of the schools aiming to improve. Some of the benchmarks and indicators come from materials students are tested on through the standardized test called ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic Skills) Still other benchmarks and indica-tors come from what local sources consider important for students to know Grundy Center City Councilman Jack Bienfang is stepping down af-ter more than 30 years of service to the community. His letter of resigna-tion was accepted Monday night by Mayor Jack Stumberg with approv-al of the other four members of the City Council Beinfang’s resignation comes with one year left on his term of office. City leaders say they plan to appoint a person to fill out the term, rather than prepare and pay for a special election. However, should residents of the community want a special election, that course would require enough signatures on a peti-tion. Chicken wings … $3.49 per lb. Hamburger Helper … 10 for $10
25 Years Ago This Week - 1991 The Grundy Center Board of Ed-ucation presented its counterpropos-al to the Grundy Center Education Association for the 1992-93 school year at a meeting Thursday night, Nov. 14. The offer proposed keeping the current contract, opposing the association’s proposal of a five per-cent increase in wages. However, the offer is not a wage freeze since each teacher would move a vertical step in the schedule. Those at the top of the schedule would realize a raise of at least $500. The total package of-fered is an increase of 3.4 percent, or $52,223, compared to the teacher’s proposed package of $82,309. The Grundy Center Volunteer Fire Department held it’s annual elec-tion of officers Monday evening at the fire station. Jerry Hoffman was reelected Chief for 1992. Kevin Kuester was elected assistant Chief. <pther officers are as follows: Cap-tain - Wayne Wrage, Jr.; First Lieu-tenant - Darrel Shuey; Second Lieu-tenant – Mike Stephenson; First Aid Captain - Mark Jungling; First Aid Asst./Reporter – Verne Folkedahl; Secretary – John Kramer; Treasurer – Martin Rouse; Custodian – Hilko Schafer. The Grundy Center city coun-cil met in regular session Monday evening at City Hall. The board discussed expanding the hours the City Clerk’s office to include the noon hour. After some discussion, the board decided it would be in the best interest of the residents of the
community ,to keep the office open so residents would have accessibili-ty to conduct city business over their noon hour. The change in hours will go into effect Monday, November 25. At the Center Theatre … “De-ceived.” Create your own holiday cards … $29.99 for 100 cards. Bird food … $2.49 per 20 lb. bag.
50 Years Ago This Week - 1966The State Highway Commis-
sion will hold a preliminary hearing here “sometime this winter” on the proposed construction of 24 miles of four-lane, closed-access super-highway across Grundy county beginning in 1970, it was learned this week by The Grundy Register. Road construction planned in Grun-dy county will be part of new High-way 20 between Dubuque and Sioux City, which also will provide Water-loo with a link to new north-south Interstate 35.
There were two break-ins in Morrison after 2 30 Friday morn-ing. One of the places broken into was The Pub owned by Walter Stock from Grundy Center. The place had been open until 2:30 and the robbery took place between that time and morning. Entrance was gained by breaking the glass in the front door. About $3.00 in small change was taken. Other cash receipts for the day were taken home for the night. The other place that was broken into was Vera’s Steak House. There was no cash in the place. Some vodka and whiskey and some cigarettes were taken.
Folger’s coffee … $1.99 per 3 lb. can.
Wheaties, Cheerios, and Wheat Stax … $1 for three packages.
75 Years Ago This Week - 1941The Frenzen Cafe at Dike was
broken into some time during Tues-day night of last week. $16 in cur-rency was taken from the cash reg-ister and $5 to $7 in small change was missing. Entrance was gained through a window on the south side of the building. A screen was torn off and the window pried open. John Timmer was arrested on Thurs-day for non-payment of his room rent. The charges were filed by Ace Reisinger. The case was heard before Mayor Knudsen at Dike who gave him a sentence of 3 days in the coun-ty Jail if room rent is fixed tip, or 30 days if fixe rent is not paid. Timmer was seen late Tuesday night near the Frenzen cafe and also several hours after midnight. He was seen by night marshal Peter Pruin from Dike and he was unable to give a satisfacto-ry explanation of his whereabouts during the night and he was ques-tioned as a suspect of the robbing of the Dike cafe. After he had served his three day sentence, a charge of intoxication was filed against Tim-mer, to which he plead guilty and paid his fine and was released from Jail. There was not sufficient evi-dence to hold him in connection with the robbery of the Dike café.
Cattle sold up to $10.30 at the Grundy Market Sale Tuesday. Larg-er steers brought $9.80. There was a better showing of livestock at the sale on Tuesday than for several weeks, and there were more buy-ers. With farmwork pretty well over, business at the market sales will get better.
1941 is the Grundy County Farm Bureau’s best year, according to an-nual reports of officers read at the annual meeting which was held In Grundy Center last Friday. The orga-nization closes its year with a cash balance of $4000 and no indebted-ness. This is the largest surplus at the close of any year since the Farm Bureau was organized in Grundy county.

"It's not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our Thanks-giving" W.T. Purkiser
"Thanksgiving Time"Wow, it seems like Thanks-
giving came fast this year. It also seems it’s become the forgotten holiday with Christmas events and shopping starting earlier and earli-er every year.
Like past years, we've tried to focus on giving and thanksgiv-ing, as it seems those two things go hand and hand. It gives us the chance as a family to slow down a little and simply enjoy - whether it’s a bike ride, tossing the foot-ball around outdoors, building a snow fort or playing a board game. Growing up, Thanksgiving was big. My mom didn't start Christ-mas until Thanksgiving was offi-cially over and December 1 was here. Every year on turkey day she made us tell her three things we were thankful for throughout the past year. I remember as a teen-ager thinking this tradition was boring, lame is what my 13-year-old son would say today. Yet, over the years, I found myself enjoying hearing what others had to share. I found out things about family members that I didn't know be-fore. It made for some great con-versations. It made us aware of the more important things in life. As a parent myself today, I see the im-portant lesson Mom was trying to teach us. Ironically, my three sons do the same thing on Thanksgiv-ing day all these years later. Who would have thought?
One thing I do all year, I try to remember to thank my wife for everything she does around the house for both myself and the kids. This being thankful in-cludes my parents, who live in Waverly and often provide trans-portation, a homemade meal, af-ter school childcare and countless other things for my family, so that Sara and I can both juggle every-

thing and work the schedules that we do. I remember to thank our newspaper employees on a regular basis for all of their hard work and contributions. I couldn't do my job if it wasn't for them. This is my 9th year here and I dont brag often but this is the best staff and group of people we’ve ever had.
Daily ThankfulsI am thankful daily for a great
family, awesome kids and good friends. Great employees, a job I enjoy and a host of other things, too. Our newspapers are locat-ed in super communities where people read their paper. It's their subscription and their newspa-per, too, and I'm very thankful for them this year, keep reading and enjoy! Here are some extra "thankfuls" I enjoy all year long – they include . . . time with my kids, good report cards, bonfires, the Panthers and Hawkeye's win-ning, getting caught up on laundry piles, taco pizza, running laps and a good workout. It's been a year of healthy choices and eating, or I’ve tried anyway, so as I've gotten an-other year older. I'm thankful too, for good health and quality health care.
From the HomefrontCarson is in eighth grade and
continues playing french horn in band, has joined chorus, and has gone out for football and basket-ball both years in middle school. Carson gets good grades in nearly all subjects, no doubt I’m proud. He’s in constant contact with his friends via all sorts of different te-chie ways of communication.
The twins are in sixth grade and and are both doing well. They continue to take piano lessons are in band and play basketball. Alex plays violin, too; three years and going strong.
Sara’s doing great at work and her medical practice is growing. We love having her less them 10 minutes from the house. Regard-ing my work, our parent compa-ny purchased the Parkersburg Eclipse newspaper on January 1, 2016. The former ownership has been great to work with. The staff there is terrific; some of the best people I’ve gotten to know in the publishing business. I’m looking forward to working with them in the future.
Christmas lists have been turned in. Sara and I have some serious gift buying to do. Count down, it will be here before we know it.Happy Thanksgiving to all our
readers and friends!Clinton Poock is Regional Pub-

Beck Brunk and Lyle Neher spent the week of November 14th in De-troit Michigan doing disaster flood relief work. In 2014 a flood backed up sewer water into the basements of over 1200 homes. Furnaces, hot water heaters and often washers and dryers were ruined. Finished base-ments had to have dry wall and or paneling removed and the walls cleaned and water proof paint ap-plied. A total of 12 people volun-teered for the week from the North-ern Plains District.

Green Belt Bank donates socksLaurie Wallis, Grundy Center School Nurse, accepts over 100 pairs of socks from Steph Kiewiet, with Green Belt Bank & Trust. The socks were collect-ed during Socktober, a month-long sock drive in October, through which the bank collected over 1,500 pairs of socks! In the Grundy Center area socks were also donated to Operation Threshold.
Thank you to everyone at the Steinmeyer reunion who donated money to support McKenna through her on going treatments. It is amazing to see how generous everyone is.
Additional, thank you to friends and family for the overwhelming love and support through this journey so far. As tough as things can be it gives us comfort to know we have so many to lean on. It means the world to us to know how many people are praying and are in McKenna’s corner cheering her on. The road is long, but we will never stop pressing on. We know God is with us every step of the way. Team McKenna. No One Fights Alone.

Peoples Savings Bank has part-nered with EverFi, Inc. to bring the program to Dike-New Hartford
students at no cost to the schools or the taxpayer. The eight-hour web-based program uses the latest in new media technology to bring complex financial concepts to life for today’s digital generation. The platform uniquely tracks the prog-ress and performance of every stu-dent and provides students who successfully complete the course with certification in financial liter-acy, a valuable mark of distinction on college applications and re-sumes. In 2015, the Consumer Fi-nancial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
highlighted EverFi’s schools-based financial education programs in a new report on Advancing K-12 Financial Education: A Guide for Policymakers.
“EverFi strives to help today’s generation prepare for a lifetime of challenging financial decisions”, said EverFi CEO and Founder, Tom Davidson. “We are grateful for our partnership with Peoples Savings Bank which provides students with the critical skills they need to be savvy, responsible consumers.”

Hacksaw Ridge is the extraordi-nary true story of conscientious ob-jector Desmond Doss (Andrew Gar-field) who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing a gun. Believing that the war was just, but that kill-ing was nevertheless wrong, he was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon. As an army medic Doss sin-gle-handedly evacuated the wounded near enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. He was the first conscientious objector to ever win the Congressional Med-al of Honor. Hacksaw Ridge takes you on an experience of World War II through the eyes of Desmond Doss. Intense and full of emotion, the movie really captures the power behind this story. It is a must-see on the big-screen and will give you an even deeper respect for our Ameri-can soldiers.
From Marvel Studios comes Doc-tor Strange, the story of world-fa-mous neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange whose life changes forev-er after a horrific car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing and hope, in an unlikely place – a mysterious wise counsel and mystic known as the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton). She accepts him as her pupil and trains him in the art of sorcery. He quickly learns that this is not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces. Armed with newly ac-quired powers, Doctor Strange must choose whether to return to his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world against a powerful rival (Mads Mikkelsen). Doctor Strange, different from the typical Marvel format, is visually stunning and a fun and entertaining big-screen ride!

cussionA. Brian Schoon from INRCOG was here to give City Council and guests information re-garding steps that City will need to take to prepare for Community Facility CDBG Grand Application process. This grant would help the City with much needed Storm Water Manage-ment. Process is long and requires some up-front cost by the City. This will require procuring and engineer to do preliminary design and cost analysis. INRCOG will help with all of this if City desires to move forward. A Income survey will be taken across the city to identify if the City is within the Low to moderate income guidelines. Brian thinks that with all the City will have to do before applying, should be ready by Jan. 2018 with grant announcement March-May of 2018 with no guarantee of award.B. Daryl Pruin of 415 1st Street is having issues with dust from Beninga driveway. He can’t have his windows open on a nice day if elevator is busy due to semi traffic. Council suggests he contact Beninga as this is not a city owned driveway. Or clerk can help facilitate conversa-tion if necessary.C. Letter to go out for stray cats. Council re-viewed notice. Made a few changes and cor-rections. Clerk will send out and try to figure out how to properly proceed.New Business: A. D. Ross mentioned whether need for building permit should be needed if cement is poured. Council discussed no need just for slab unless something is being placed on it. They also have decided that new siding will not require a build-ing permit.B. FD gas charge was discussed and clerk re-alized that she had made charge before going to Clerks Academy in late July and had placed cash in bag to reimburse and it had been over-looked. Apology was made for confusion with FD. Also, has been decided that gas card will not be used. All charges at Kwik Star will be ver-ified and verified with a receipt, the only time FD would use is in case of emergency. Only other time would be for snow removal or supplies, such as ice melt, etc. All other charges will need to be approved by majority beforehand. Also, purchases will require a code for purchase.C. Other discussion with clerk regarding setting some specific hours to be in the office, including some evening hours. No work is to be done at home anymore. Clerk will provide Council with in office hours at the December meeting.

CEDAR FALLS – What a time for Matt Johannsen’s first career touch-down.
The Gladbrook-Reinbeck junior caught a 24-yard pass from Hunter Lott midway through the fourth quar-ter and took it to the end zone, scor-ing the eventual game-winner for the Rebels as they won their second-con-secutive Class A football title, hold-ing off Bishop Garrigan of Algona for a 20-19 win at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls last Thursday.
Lott was named the most valuable player of the championship game, completing 11 of 14 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown and also run-ning for 38 rushing yards and a touch-down.
In a team full of offensive weap-ons, it was the unassuming Johannsen who ran his route to perfection on a gutsy 4th-and-8 pass play and ended up being the game’s most unlikely hero.
“I didn’t think I’d get a pass thrown to me in a state final,” Jo-hannsen said. “But I saw that ball and I thought, I’ve got to catch this ball. I had to make a play.”
That touchdown catch provid-ed the Rebels (13-0) with the 20-19 edge with six minutes, 29 seconds remaining in the game. On Bishop Garrigan’s next drive, they advanced the ball near midfield but were unable to get a first down on a 4th-and-2 run play.
G-R picked up two first downs from there, including another major fourth-down pass from Lott to Erik Knaack to keep the ball and to effec-tively seal the victory and back-to-
back titles.“If we played teams like (Bish-
op Garrigan) and St. Ansgar again, they might have beaten us,” Glad-brook-Reinbeck head coach John Olson admitted. “But the day it mat-tered, we got them.”
For Johannsen, it was also a bit of redemption for an earlier miscue when he stumbled while backtrack-ing to cover Garrigan’s Joel Vaske on a pass play in the second quarter, which allowed Vaske to get open for a touchdown and a 13-0 Bears lead.
Olson knew how much that hurt Johannsen, who is known more for his cornerback skills than as a pass-catcher on the offensive side.
“That’s the adversity he felt earli-er,” Olson said. “But he stayed in the moment, and stayed in the process and that’s how good things happen.”
Bishop Garrigan (12-1) built their 13-0 lead on the Vaske catch and a 24-yard scramble by Bears’ QB Brad Capesius. Meanwhile, G-R had a long first possession end in a lost fumble at Garrigan’s 1-yard line, followed by two three-and-out drives.
The Rebels responded with a nine-play, 59-yard drive as Lott produced through the air and senior Rebel running back Parker Bown rumbled through the trenches on the line of scrimmage. Bown broke free for a 9-yard touchdown with 3:29 remain-ing and finished Thursday’s game with 85 yards on 16 carries.
A fumble on Bishop Garrigan’s ensuing kickoff return was recovered by Mason Skovgard, which imme-diately put G-R in the red zone once again. Lott cashed in on a 10-yard touchdown run with 2:31 remaining in the half as the Rebels snagged the
lead heading into the locker room.“It sucked in the moment,” Bown
said of being down 13 points early, “but we’ve been through adversity, and all it takes in these games is one play to swing the momentum and you’re on a roll. … You just have to go play by play.”
The third quarter was a stalemate. Garrigan turned the ball over on downs on their first drive, only for the Rebels to fumble the ball away again in the red zone. From there, the Bears played a more methodical pace, look-ing to be the ones to score last.
Garrigan trimmed nearly eight minutes off the game clock from the middle of the third quarter to early in the fourth quarter, when Capesius found a diving Vaske in the back of the end zone for another touchdown to put the Bears back on top, 19-14, with 9:56 to go.
After a blocked extra point earlier in the game, Garrigan tried to go for a two-point conversion to push the lead to 21-14, but the two-point run attempt was no good, which kept it at a five-point margin for the Bears.
Knaack set up the Rebels for a great game-winning drive with a 24-yard return to the Rebels’ 42-yard line. Lott took over from there, com-pleting 4-of-6 passes including the strike to Johannsen.
Olson indicated that was ultimate-ly the key – for as many times as G-R’s defense has stifled the opposi-tion, it was the offense that needed to step up to bring home another foot-ball title.
“We always say you’re not going to go run a drive for 80 yards on our defense, and Bishop Garrigan did it twice,” Olson said. “That comes
down to Bishop being a fantastic team but our defense stayed sol-id and it was our offense these last three times that has clicked. Clicked against Montezuma, Ansgar and to-day we had some dinged passes but that was the turning point for us as a championship team, to get our of-fense as good as our defense. All
credit goes to (offensive coordinator) Darren Trunck and Sean Babinat for that. Sean’s one of our coaches who doesn’t get accolades because he vol-unteers his time but he’s a heck of an offensive mind.”
Bown couldn’t imagine a better way to go out in his senior season, finishing with 15 touchdowns and al-
most 900 yards rushing.“It may not be fun when you’re
getting pounded (running the ball), but a good close game like that is a sweet victory,” Bown said. “This team proved hard work pays off. They worked out all summer long, winter and spring, and if you go hard every day, it will pay off.”

F L A S H B A C KMax Appel
By DAVID PIKESpecial to The Grundy Register
Max Appel represented the first athlete from the decade of the 1940s to be elected to the Grundy Center Sports Hall of Fame. This was a decade that spawned so many significant world events from the bombing of Pearl Harbor in
1941, the war with the Empire of Ja-pan, the defeat of Nazi Germany, the dropping of atomic bombs in 1945, to the rise in world communism that started the Cold War. Max served his country in World War II and was part of the “Greatest Generation” that national news anchor Tom Brokaw wrote about so passionately.
In sports, Army was a national foot-ball powerhouse that had Heisman trophy winners Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis as Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside. In 1941, Ted Williams was
the last baseball player to hit .400 and Joe DiMaggio hit safely in 56 straight games as they sparkled on the baseball diamond. In Grundy Center, Max Appel was a local star on the football field as an end and playing center on the basketball court. The games were different then. They were lower scoring and play was more conservative. Max and other Spartan athletes had no off-season camps to improve their skills. But in that era, Max Appel carved out an outstanding high school career and then went on to play on the best Legion teams the State of Iowa had to offer. Max didn’t move to Grundy Center with his parents until he started his fresh-man year in high school. He played both football and basketball, but basketball was his first love. Max and his parents lived four miles southwest of town and Max would tell his kids how he would have to walk home after practices and games. One winter evening, the weather was so bad, he got lost in a snow storm and barely found his way home. On the football field, Max was an end and lettered three years for the Spar-tans. Their best season was Max’s sophomore year in 1940 when Grundy won the North Iowa Cedar League championship and had a 7-2 record. As with many of our great athletes from earlier decades, statistics are hard to come by, but Max was impressive enough on the gridiron that he was recruited by and had the op-portunity to play football at the University of Iowa. As noted earlier, Max’s first love was basketball and Grundy Center was exceptionally strong with Max standing at 6’ 5”. He was a foreboding figure leading the team as the center as well as the Spartans’ leading scorer. During the three years that Max lettered, the Spartans had a combined record of 57-8. During the 1940-41 season when Max was a sophomore, Grundy finished the year 16-3 winning the NICL and the county tournament. The following season, as the nation plunged into World War II, Max led the Spartans to a 21-4 season repeating as conference champions. The also won the league playoff championship, repeated as county champions, and ram-rodded their way through the State playoffs wining Sectionals and Districts before los-ing in the finals of sub-State. They were just one game from the State tourna-ment, which in those days had no class sizes. That set the stage for a great senior campaign in 1942-43 when Max once again led the Spartans to one of their best seasons ever. Grundy went through the regular season undefeated and repeated as the NICL and county champions. But after winning all 20 of their games to that date, they felt the agony of defeat with a two point loss in the Sectional championships. It was a bitter disappointment and a hard way to end Max’s high school basketball career. Even though Max turned down a chance to play football at Iowa and to play basketball at the University of Colorado, his basketball career did not end. While staying home to farm with his brother, Raymond, Max played forward for Grun-dy’s Legion ball team. Those Legion teams Max played on were so good that fans around Grundy were saving up their gas stamps in 1946 to see them when they went to the State Legion championships. The Grundy team didn’t quite make it that year, but they came back the following year and were State champions in 1947! One of the highlights of Legion basketball was playing against the Van Dyke House of David, a traveling black team of the era. Grundy defeated them once in Grundy Center 42-32 and the David’s wanted a return game on a neutral floor in hopes of avenging the loss. They played the second game in the old Marshall-town Coliseum. Grundy won that game in even more dominating fashion 46-23 led by Max Appel with eighteen points. He nearly outscored the whole House of David’s team! Max Appel passed away about three weeks before his induction in 2006. However it brought the Appel family some comfort because Max was informed about this honor during the last month of his life. His wife, Lillian, accepted his awards with daughter Maxine and sons Jerry and Larry at her side.

During this year’s Festival of Trees celebration, the community center came to life with 50 beauti-fully decorated Christmas trees and holiday arrangements on display.
The Festival of Trees committee counted around 375 visitors who came to admire the displays over the span of the weekend. Though this year’s winning tree (or display) has not yet been announced, readers can
plan on finding out who won in next week’s edition of The Grundy Reg-ister.
The theme for this year’s event was ‘The Colors of Christmas.’ Shown below are several of the displays at this year’s celebration. Shown top left is a tree and setting by Katie McMartin of I.D. by Ka-tie. The display is titled “Let I.D. by Katie help pick your ‘Colors of
Christmas.’” Shown bottom left is the display by the Grundy Center Elementary School, titled “Literacy Tree Trimming.” Shown top right is a tree by Phelps Implement, titled “Have a John Deere Christmas.” Shown middle right is a display by Trinkets & Togs, titled “Winter Wonderland.” Shown bottom right is a display by Greenbelt Bank and Trust, titled “Coloring Christmas.”

Timothy Christian Harvest Supper raises nearly $12,000The Harvest (formally known as the Hostess) Supper has been a longstanding tradition for Timothy Christian School. This is the only fundraising event that is held at the school. On Tuesday, November 15, over 200 guests gathered for a catered meal provided by Peppercorn Pantry. A volunteer group of students in grades K-8, under the direction of Marissia Wessels, provided musical entertainment with a Thanksgiving theme. Principal Janna Voss reported on the blessings of this year as well as the needs. Updated technology has been at the top of the list. The school is currently raising money to provide Chromebook laptops for every student. Anyone interested in contributing to this effort may call the school at 641-869-3679. After the program, guests were allowed to tour the school. Many commented on the many improvements in the building that have been made in recent years. The Harvest Supper is an annual event occurring the second week in November. Next year’s date will be advertised and all are welcome to call for reservations. Next up for Timothy Christian fundraisers is the Cookie Walk on Friday, December 2 at the United Reformed Church in Wellsburg from 8:30am to 11:00am. Bakery boxes are provided and customers make their cookie choices and pay by the pound.

NEWSGrateful for God
A word from Dr. StanleyWhen you sit down to a meal of tur-
key and all your other Thanksgiving fa-vorites, what will be the focus of your gratitude? Most believers will probably find their thoughts centered on all the blessings God has given during the past year – His provision, guidance, protec-tion and especially salvation.
This year I challenge you to turn your gratitude toward God Himself. Instead of simply thanking Him for what He’s done, let’s be thankful for who He is. Since coming to know Him as a loving Father who watches over us, we could easily lose sight of His awesome majes-ty. Who is this mighty one we call God?
In scripture, the Lord is described with a variety of names and titles, but in Exodus 3:14, He calls Himself “I am who I am,” which is the Hebrew word Yahweh. This name signifies His eter-nal existence, sovereignty, omnipres-ence, and unlimited power, wisdom and knowledge. However, later in the same book, He describes Himself as “the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in loving kind-ness and truth.”
What an amazing God we serve. He’s not only sovereign and powerful but also infinitely loving, kind and good. We need never doubt His love or fear He’s unable to help/ Even when every-thing around us changes, He remains the same.
While His magnificence is hard for our finite minds to grasp, I pray this month’s devotions will enlarge your gratitude for God, as your experience of Him deepens.
