For the past six weeks, the husband and wife team have been donating their time to the library to paint two elaborate murals. For six weeks, the children’s department at Kling Memorial Library has resembled a painting studio as the Kunzmans have transformed two solid-toned walls into works of art. “It’s our gift to the library,” Clark said. “It’s really won- derful,” said library director CJ Thompson. “There is no way the library would be able to afford something like this if it weren’t donated.” The mural depicts rolling hills with a tree house and swings, children playing and hot air balloons in the background.

Duane A. Schipper Duane A. “Dewey” Schipper, 75, of Dike passed away peace- fully as the result of a stroke, on March 17, 2019, at the Universi- ty of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics in Iowa City. Visitation for Dewey will be held on Wednes- day, March 20th from 4 until 7 PM at the Dike United Methodist Church. Funeral services will begin following the visitation at 7:00 PM, at the church. Interment will be held privately by the family. Memorials may be directed to the family, where they will donate to a charity at a later time. Abels Funeral & Cremation Service-Dike Chapel is assisting the family. Messages of condo- lence or memories of Dewey may be left at www.abelsfuneralhomes.com. Dewey was born on November 15, 1943, in Aplington, the son of George and Wilma (Boelman) Schipper. He attended school in Aplington and later began his lifelong career of farming. On May 1, 1964, Dewey was united in marriage to Carol Meester at Bethany Presbyterian Church in Grundy Center. Together, the couple wel- comed a son and 2 daughters. In 1999, Dewey & Carol moved to town in Dike, where they currently reside. He was a member of the Iowa Pork Producers, was a 4-H leader and was on church council, where he also served as treasurer. Farming was the staple of Dewey’s life but above all, his family and spending time with them was the most important thing to him; his grandchildren especially! He was known as “Papa” to not only his grandchildren, but to many other children who knew him. On the Thursday night before his passing, the family was able to spend one last night having a family meal, and his family and grandchildren got in their last big hugs from “Papa.” Dewey was a selfless man, putting everyone before himself and will be missed dearly by his family and friends he leaves behind. Dewey is survived by his wife of 54 years, Carol, of Dike; daughter Wendy (Robert) Clauson of Highlands Ranch, CO, Jerry (Jody) Schipper & Jean (Tony) Bixby, both of Dike; grandchildren Chloe, Ella & Ava Schipper and Brock Bixby, all of Dike; siblings Dennis (Sharon) Schipper of Parkersburg and Elaine (John) Kiger of Benson, MN; many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; father & mother-in-law Henry & Jennie Meester; brother & sister-in-law Eugene (Nola) Meester. 8 Thursday, March 21, 2019 Grundy CLASSIFIEDS Register www.thegrundyregister.com

Creswell, Ashton earn All-Star MVP awards By JAKE RYDER The Grundy Register REINBECK – Tyson Cre- swell had been preparing for Friday night. His practice during physical education classes at Glad- brook-Reinbeck paid off during the NICL Senior All-Star Game, sinking three 3-pointers, including a crowd-pleasing half-court 3-pointer that made him a solid choice for Most Valuable Player for the NICL West in the series of games on Friday night in Re- inbeck. In the boys game, the East came away with a 93-80 victory, led by NICL East MVP Junior Bodden of Aplington-Parkers- burg, who scored a game-high 22 points. Creswell didn’t get much playing time during the winter, so he took advantage of his time to shine with the rest of the seniors from the East and West di- visions of the league. BCLUW's Bailey Ashton (right) was the NICL West MVP for the NICL Senior All-Star Games played “I planned this out a few days in Reinbeck last Friday.
