The purpose of the new transmission line is to transmit renewable energy produced in Iowa and the surrounding region to Illinois and eastern markets of the United States. A map showing the proposed corridor for the line (the “notification corridor”) and the preferred route is attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. The notification corridor reflects the area in which landowners have been no- tified of the public informational meeting described below and in which easements may be sought following that meeting. The Petitioner’s preferred route would start at the Butler/Grundy County border in Section 6 of German Township and continue south for 0.5 mile, where it then turns east and continues generally along a half-section line for approximately 13 miles. It then turns south and continues along a half-section line for 1 mile before turning east and continuing generally along a half-section line for 5.75 miles. The route then turns south and continues along a quarter-section line for 3 miles, where it turns east and continues generally along a half-section line for 3.25 miles. It then turns south and continues along a half-section line for approximately 9.2 miles, where it then turns east along a quarter-section line for 2.5 miles, where it enters Black Hawk County. The preferred route may not be the final route chosen, however the final route will be within the notification corridor as outlined on the attached map. As a landowner or a party adjacent to, in possession of, or residing on property which may be affected by the location and construction of the aforementioned electric transmission line, you have the right to be present at a public informational meeting to be held at the place and time listed below and conducted by the Iowa Utilities Board (“Board”). You also have the right to file with the Board, at 1375 E. Court Avenue, Room 69, Des Moines, IA 50319-0069, objections to the location and construction of the proposed lines as described.

And the more they stayed the same was a good thing for the Grundy Center Spartans. Late last week a pair of Spartans were honored with the divisions top honors after a fifth straight championship season and a fourth straight without losing a set, with junior libero Riley Sents garnering Outstanding Player honors and her father, Coach Darwin Sents, garnering Coach of the Year honors. Riley Sents is the fourth different Spartan to earn top player honors in as many years. Sam Meyers received the honors last year while Megan Kraus- mann was cited the year before and Abby Graves the two years before that. Sent was the first of the group to be cited from a libero or defensive specialist position. The talented junior led the West Division with 181 digs despite playing fewer sets than any other player in the top seven. Her 8.62 digs per set was three more than anyone else in the league. Sents’ 8.27 digs per set (all matches) leads the state. Darwin Sents is honored as the conference’s Coach of the Year for the fifth consecutive year. This year he rebuilt a team that graduated three of its top four hitters and helped the Spartans finish unbeaten in league play for the fifth consecutive year. He rebuilt the Spartans with a defensive mindset, as a team that led the division in digging by nearly four per set. The Spar- tans will play in the state tournament for the fourth straight year this week. Joining Riley on the first team is teammate Katie Lindeman. The sopho- more led the Spartans with 68 kills in league play, averaging 3.24 per set. She also served 98 percent in league play, missing just one attempt, and finished with 32 digs. AGWSR’s Olivia Ingledue was also named to the first-team all-conference squad, finishing second in the division with 5.6 digs per set. Local second-team selections included Grundy Center’s Kennedy Buss and Stephanie Faust, AGWSR’s Madison Fryslie and Gladbrook- Reinbeck’s Britney Keller. Faust led the division with 3.42 kills per set, but missed three of the Spartans’ seven league matches injured, while Buss was Grundy Center’s block leader. Fryslie was AGWSR’s kill leader while Keller was Gladbrook-Reinbeck in kills. Grundy Center’s Peyton Ralston, AGWSR’s Kim Ellingson and Glad- brook-Reinbeck’s Alyssa Christopher were honorable mention picks. The teams are selected by league coaches.
