Wright County Monitor
welcomes new reporter
CLAE GOATER
Clae Goater is a 2007 graduate
of Clarion-Goldfield High School.
Growing up in Goldfield, he always
knew he wanted to be a writer. Most
recently he has been a part-time
writer with the Eagle Grove Eagle
newspaper. Now, he will be working
covering beats in both Clarion and
Eagle Grove.
“Clae has earned the opportunity
to take a step forward in his career,”
said
Mid-America
Publishing
President Ryan Harvey.
Goater said his interest in writing
was sparked by Cecil Adams,
a popular question and answer
columnist known as The Straight
Dope, for The Chicago Reader since
1973.
After
being
crowned
Homecoming King and graduating
from high school, Goater attended
the University of Iowa with a
major in journalism and mass
communications with a focus on
sociology.
“I know he looks forward to
the challenge of covering Clarion
and the surrounding areas. With
his background in the community,
having attended school here, he
is a natural fit to return home and
become a reporter for the paper,”
said Harvey
While he looked for work in
the writing industry, Goater held
down a job at Clarion Packaging,
LLC. When he read that there
was an opening for a writer at the
Eagle Grove Eagle, he jumped at
the chance. Clae began writing for
Mid-America Publishing, the parent
company of Wright County Monitor
and Eagle Grove Eagle, in July of
2012.
“It’s been a great opportunity
for me to get my start in the field
of journalism…and I’m working
for publications I’ve read my entire
life,” Goater said.
In addition to covering city
government and school board,
Goater will lend a hand in general
news reporting, feature stories and
event coverage in order to bring
more to the hometown newspaper.
“I’m a friendly guy,” Goater
said lightheartedly. “If there’s a
story idea (you have), call. I’ll be
interested. I promise.”
Goater said of his new position
that he is most looking forward
to researching information for
his stories, to him, it’s thrilling,
satisfying, and exciting to see the
finished product of his efforts.
He added, “This newspaper is (the
community’s), if there’s something
you want to see, you just need to tell
us.”
Harvey said, “Clae’s passion for
the news is strong. By assigning him
to Clarion, it allows us to present
even even stronger news product
to our readers. Plus, it allows for
another voice in the newspaper.”
Goater is the son of Richard and
Helen (McKean) Goater. In his free
time he enjoys comic books, reading,
and watching movies.
September is Recovery Month
in Wright County
By: Clae Goater
The county supervisors have
declared September of 2013 as
National Recovery Month in Wright
County.
Dawn Doerr with Community
Family Resources (CFR) came
before the board on Monday, Aug.
26, to tell them about how CFR
makes a difference in the lives of
people dealing substance abuse
issues.
“We’re still focusing a lot on
the issues of underage and binge
drinking. We’re looking at social
hosting laws, and working with
youth development,” Doerr said.
“I’ve been out this morning, setting
up meetings with the schools, getting
ready to start the new school year.”
Supervisor Stan Watne has been
a member of the CFR board since
January, and he says that CFR is
making great strides.
“It’s been very difficult the past
two years. To be honest, I was very

homemade candies, socks, t-shirts,
magazines, puzzle books, cards,
chips, dip, and “a lot of things that
we don’t normally get over there.”
“It meant a lot to the people
who received them. A tremendous
amount. Tremendous,” Zimmer said.

The birdmen of Hagies
By: Clae Goater
Forty
employees
from
Hagie
Manufacturing
became daredevils
for a day on Friday,
Aug. 23, during a team
building exercise held
at the Clarion Municipal
Airport. A skydiving
company out of Brooklyn,
IA took them up to a height of
nearly 9 thousand feet and let them
experience 55 seconds of complete
freefall before parachuting gently to
the ground.
“We do a lot of team building
events at Hagie, to push us out
of our comfort zone and help
us grow as individuals and as a
team,” said Teresa Lancaster, talent
development coach at Hagie. “This
is just one more thing that somebody
had brought up at one
point, so I decided
to see if we could
get some people in
skydiving.”
Lancaster heard
that Skydive Iowa
was the premiere
skydiving service
in the state, and
contacted
them.
They promised to
give a good rate
if Lancaster could
get 20 volunteers.
After announcing the
exercise, they quickly
doubled that quota.
The event was called “Jump for
Jackie,” in memory of the recentlydeceased Jackie Reyna. According
to Reyna’s husband, Mike,
skydiving was something that she
would have loved to try.
Plenty of people at “Jump for
Jackie” agreed that skydiving
was the experience of a lifetime
“It
was
incredible.
Incredible. The freefall is
fantastic
…
I’ve
never
been skydiving
b e f o r e .
Bucket
list
checked off,”
said
Diane
Kampen. “It’s
not what I
expected. I expected
like when you’re on
a rollercoaster and
you go to the top, and
everything
just
drops. It’s not
like that at all.
The adrenaline is
awesome, but
it’s extremely
peaceful
…
You just take
it all in.
You’re just
looking,
and you
can’t
b e l i e v e
you’re
actually doing it It’s surreal. “
They jumped all day long, from
9-5. As of noon, not a single person
had gotten cold feet and dropped
out.
“Alan Hagie was the first one
out of the plane. I went after him,
and I tell you what, I was scared to
death. I was up until three o’clock
in the morning, just nonstop nerves.
I know a lot of people have been
the same way,” said Lancaster.
“Before you know it, you’re up
there and you’re out. They kill
the motor, they tell you to step on
the platform, and -boom- you’re
falling. When I landed, it was just
an incredible sense of pride of what
I had done.”
Lancaster said that the anxiety
of waiting to plummet thousands
of feet was eased somewhat by
the knowledge that she was in the
hands of seasoned professionals.
“The one gentleman I jumped
with, Junkyard was his name, he has
over like 8,000 jumps. And over like
4,000 tandem,” Lancaster said. “So
hearing that definitely helped with
the security level. “
Dave Maxheimer, suited up in
his harness and awaiting his turn,
showed steely resolve. He even
joking gave a eulogy for himself to
a nearby video camera.
“I’m excited to try it. It’s
something
new.
Something
different,” Maxheimer said. “I’m at
that age in my life where I don’t fear
a whole lot, so why not go out and
try something different. “
All in all, there were a lot of
broad grins, wild whoops, and highspiriting cheers from the assembled
group.
“We’re always looking to raise
the bar at Haigie Manufacturing.
We’re always trying to have
higher expectations for ourselves,”
Lancaster said. ”I’m excited for
what’s next. A lot of people are.
We just jumped out of damn plane.
What’s next?”

Vote on Clarion-Goldfield-Dows nears Olson concerned about voter apathy
By: Clae Goater
Whether Clarion-Goldfield and
Dows merge into a single school
district will be decided at school
board elections on November 10.
According to the Superintendant
of both Districts, Robert Olson, the
decision will be permanent. If the
two districts merge, the state will
give the new district a bonus to its
headcount and the funds that go
along with it. If a district declines to
merge, the Dows school district will
be gone forever.
The bonus to headcount would
earn a consolidated district about a
quarter million dollars per year for
three years after the organization.
That money would only go to
Clarion, because Dows has already
used that incentive money when
shared with CAL. However, Olson
says that the money would benefit
all of his students.
“It will benefit the students of
both Clarion and Dows, particularly
since we’re having (Dows) students
4-12 attending school in Clarion,”
Olson said.
That incentive money will only
be available to districts through the
2014-2015 school year. If they don’t
consolidate this year, there won’t be
another chance for Dows to find a
district to partner with.
“A school district looking at
reorganizing with Dows would see
that Dows is more of an obligation
than an asset,” Olson said. “So I
would say for Dows to quickly get
a partner ready for consolidation,
we’re going to run out of money
before that happens.”
Besides
partnering,
Dows’
only option is to dissolve. A study
from the Iowa School Financial
Information Service indicates that
a school needs at least 303 students
to fund an accredited school district.
With an enrollment of just under
100, the Dows School District is just
too small to survive on its own.
“Dows cannot stand alone,”
Olson said. “There’s no way that
Iowa Specialty recognized for supporting troops
By Clae Goater
Sgt. First Class Vance Zimmer
presented Iowa Specialty Hospital
with an American flag on Saturday,
Aug. 24, in recognition of their
support of the troops overseas. Iowa
Specialty Hospital had been sending
care packages to Zimmer for 14
months during his deployment in
Afghanistan, which he distributed to
other soldiers.
“I would take them to different
combat outposts to the soldiers who
didn’t received car packages or mail
on a regular basis,” Zimmer said.
“It was a unique thing, because the
soldiers would come off patrol after
ten or twelve hours. They were hot,
they were sweaty, the last thing they
want to do is go through mail. But
when they start getting packages
through Iowa Specialty Hospital,
they were swapping items and
laughing and joking around. So it
put a big smile on everybody’s face.
“
Zimmer’s
sister
Wendy
Weidemann helped organize the care
package program, along with the
internal communications department
at the hospital.
“They put in Vance’s address
in Afghanistan, and said that if
anybody was interested in helping
these servicemen overseas, they
could send packages to Vance and
he would make sure that they would
get put into the hands of these
soldiers who were at these outposts,”
Weidemann said.
Zimmer said that these packages
contained
numerous
items,
including candy, homemade cookies,
$1.00 per copy
Zimmer presented the flag on
behalf of his unit, the fourth brigade
combat team, first infantry division,
known as “The Big Red One.”
Zimmer has just concluded his
fourth tour of duty.
“Our brigade consists of
Dows cannot make an educational
program without a partner and still
remain the district.”
Should the Dows district
dissolve, the land it encompasses
will be divided up among nearby
districts.
“The student body would be
broken up among neighboring
districts. There would be a process
where we decide which parcels of
land would go in what direction.
That’s part of it,“ Olson said.
While partnering with Dows
might look unattractive to other
districts, Olson says that it’s a good
fit with Clarion-Goldfield. Besides
the incentive money, Dows and
Clarion-Goldfield already have
a history together. They’ve been
grade-sharing successfully for eight
years.
“I just feel that the sharing has
gone very, very well between the
two districts. The programs we’ve
been able to do together, the athletics
we’ve been able to do together, the
activities … by and large it’s worked
out very well,” Olson said.
Also, if Clarion-Goldfield and
Dows partner, there are a number
of things the district could do with
the old Dows school building. If the
districts combine, it will no longer
be economically feasible to use the
building to hold classes. However,
there are ways the building could
generate enough revenue to cover
the cost of maintaining it. The
Clarion-Goldfield School District
does something similar with the
schoolhouse in Goldfield, which it
rents to the city and Iowa Central
Community College.
“We do have some groups that
are looking at the (Dows school)
building for other purposes. We’ve
had discussions with the city. They’ve
had some interest, particularly the
single-story building attached to
the rest. We’ve had an organization
out of Belmond called Old School
Records, and they’ve come and
looked at this building,” Olson said.

approximately 6,000 soldiers, spread

said. ”My job was, basically, I

commander.”

County wins DOT grant for transit building
By: Clae Goater
Proposed transit building
Wright County has received
a grant from the Department of
Transportation to help pay for the
construction of a new transit building
in Clarion. The grant will cover 80
percent of the cost of construction,
which is estimated at $433,900. The
county will only have to pay the
remaining 20 percent, which will be
around $86,780.
The County Supervisors had
to decide how they were going to
pay their share. At the supervisor’s
meeting on Monday, Aug. 26,
Colleen Bartlett, administrative
assistant with Wright County
Economic Development, laid out
the options available to the county.
“We have a meeting next week
scheduled with MIDAS. They want
to know how we plan on paying
out portion of the $86 thousand,”
Bartlett said. “We do have $500,000
in the budget … the options to
finance the county share … are low
interest loans … or it can just be
paid out of the budget expense.”
Barlett said that the county could
get loans through Amoco or Prairie
Energy. Amoco could provide
a 5-year loan with zero percent
interest, and would allow them to
borrow up to 10% of the project’s
cost. Prairie Energy would provide
loans with one percent interest, one
percent administrative fee, and a
closing cost of $350.
The board voted to pay for the
cost out of the budget.
“My feeling is pay for it,”
Supervisor Stan Watne said. “Why
would we borrow if we don’t need
it?”
“We’ve got it budgeted, let’s just
get it paid for,” said Supervisor Rick
Rasmussen.
The cost of the building is subject
to change, because the county hasn’t
received bids on the project.
“With the architect they chose
right now, that architect might not
be the architect on the project,” said
National Recovery Month

pessimistic after my first meeting
there … I think we’ve really turned
the corner. I was pleased the other
night to see our second month
in a row turning a profit over a
expenses,” Watne said. “One of the
things I look at when something’s
recovering is cash flow, and when I
came on, it was almost negative …
We’re making improvements.”
CFR will be holding a 5k race/
walk for recovery at Ada Hayden
Park outside of Ames on Sept. 7,
and another race/walk at Olson Park
in Fort Dodge on Sept. 22. Check-in
time for both events will be at 8 a.m.,
with the race starting an hour later.
Various family-friendly activities
will follow the race.
“There’s a place here for
sponsorships for the 5K race, there
are different levels, and I’d kind of
like our board to think about being
a sponsor,” Supervisor Stan Watne
said. “We’re personally going to do
it, not the county. It will go a long
ways to bring some awareness to
what you’re doing.”
Home For Sale By owner
County Engineer Adam Clemons.
“They’ve got to go out for request
for proposal, get an architect to bid
on the project, go with the lowest
bid or the most responsive architect,
then choose that, then design it, and
then build it … Hopefully, it will be
the architect you already chose to
do the estimate, because then they’ll
already have an idea of what to do
with it. If it’s not, you’ve almost got
to start to scratch.”
Clemons said that he does not
expect construction on the building
to begin until late next summer.
“It’s a long process, but good
things take a while,” Bartlett said.
“It’s going to be good when it’s
done.”
The completed building will be
3,600 square feet, and will be able to
house six busses.
“The building is going to be kind
of bare-bones. There will be room
for six stalls. One of them will be
a wash bay. We’ll have a couple of
restrooms and a small office for them
to do paperwork,” said Bartlett.
In other county news:
-The board voted to amend
Wright County’s multi-jurisdictional
hazard mitigation plan to include the
Clarion-Goldfield School District.
This amendment will allow ClarionGoldfield to move forward with its
safe room project.
- Jennifer Pischke, the new
juvenile court officer for Wright
County, introduced herself to the
board. Deb Dencklau, the new
liaison officer for Eagle Grove and
Clarion Goldfield schools, also
introduced herself to the board.
- the board signed a letter
supporting the construction of a new

Council rejects bids for turn
lane improvements at Hagie’s
Will rebid project next January
Upon the recommendation of David
Doxtad of I&S Group, the Clarion
City Council voted at their August
19 meeting to reject all bids for the
proposed right turn lane project on
Central Avenue West (Highway 3) at
the Hagie Manufacturing facility.
According to Doxtad, the two
bids received were significantly
higher than engineer’s estimates.
He feels the project plans and specs
should now be prepared for a rebid
in January of 2014. “It’s okay with
Hagie’s, they’re not in a big hurry,”
said Doxtad. Therefore, the public
hearing was closed and no action
taken on the next agenda items of
adopting the plans and awarding the
contract.
The Council approved pay
request #3 from Brian Nettleton
Construction, as presented by Tom
Madden with Yaggy Colby. The
$42,345.91 payment is for piping,
road stone and tree grubbing work
on the storm sewer improvement
project.
The city council heard a brief
report of recent activities in the
Clarion Fire Department from
Greg Littlejohn. According to
Littlejohn, the firemen are getting
their maintenance schedule taken
care of in more timely fashion and
also plan to work together with the
ambulance service on extrication
calls. They plan on using proceeds
from the upcoming Fireman’s Ball
to purchase a compressor to fill air
tanks, and have set up a committee
to study plans for the new station.
In other action the Council:
-approved the request of Clarion
Packaging, LLC for a $40,000 rebate
on property taxes. City Attorney
Rich Bordwell felt it was strictly the
Council’s decision, and following

School Board Election
continued from page 1
Olson said. “And Clarion-Goldfield,
we look at the gymnasium and
multi-purpose room, and we see
that as being an asset, even though
we might not be using the rest
of the building. I’ve actually had
discussions with folks who operate
a 24-7 fitness center, and looked
at the community’s desire for 24-7
fitness.”
Olson also says that consolidation
is the cheaper option for taxpayers
in Dows. Both consolidation and
dissolution would mean increases
in property taxes, but the increases
would be smaller if the districts
merged.
Consolidation would
increase the tax rate in Dows by
about of $3 per $1,000 of assessed
valuation. If Dows dissolves, Dows
taxpayers could see rates increase
by $4.50 to $5 per thousand. On
the other hand, dissolution would
decrease tax rates in Clarion.
Right now, Olson’s biggest fear is
that voters in the three communities
won’t turn out to vote. Low turnout
at recent school board meetings
regarding consolidation has him
worried that voters are apathetic
about the issue. Olson is concerned
that a low turnout might skew the
election against consolidation.
“Even though people might
believe (consolidating) is the right
thing to do, if they don’t tell us
that, we might not necessarily get a
representative showing at the polls.
That’s my biggest concern, that you
wouldn’t get a representative vote,”
Olson said. “In situations like this,
people who are against combining
the districts might have more
motivation to vote than people who
are for it. And I would hate to see the
“no” votes win the day, if that isn’t
what the community really wants.”
Olson says that after years of
researching the matter, consolidation
is the best option available to voters
and students. He regrets that Dows
school district is no longer able to
survive as a separate entity, but the
harsh reality is that it cannot.
“The community needs to know
that this has not been a snap judgment.
It’s been something that we’ve been
discussing for years and looking at
for years,” Olson said. “The focus
needs to be on students, and we
want students in Dows and ClarionGoldfield to have the best education
we can provide. We can’t financially
provide in Dows anymore. We need
to look at our options, and we think
our best option, especially after 8
years of sharing classes, is ClarionGoldfield-Dows. “

Jen’s Gems
Jennifer Roberts lives with her husband Brent, and their three children,
Cody, Kourtney and Brandon in Klemme, Iowa.
This past weekend was another
one on the road for us. Brent,
Brandon and I traveled to my mom’s
in Des Moines on Friday night for
the weekend.
Saturday was a family reunion
of sorts at Lake Miami in southern
Iowa. This lake has a special
meaning to my family. Our
first step-grandparents were the
caretakers of it for many years. In
fact, grandpa’s ashes were spread
at the lake. This family dinner is
held every year around my maternal
grandpa’s birthday. (It just happens
to co-inside with Brent and my’s
anniversary.) The best parts of the
reunion are the homemade ice cream
and the games. This year we had a
nice snowball fight. Of course the
snowballs were not made of snow,
but rather resembled a furry nerf
ball. Mom bought them off of QVC,
her favorite shopping network.
After lunch, we went to visit my
dad. I try to make it down to see
him at least once a year. Thankfully
my mom goes to see him a couple
of time a year. She does a really
nice job of keeping his tombstone
cleaned off. We had not been to see
Dad in a couple of years, so Brandon
had forgotten that the cemetery
is located in the middle of a cow
pasture. Fortunately the farmer
was out working in the pasture
area so we did not have to open the
gate at the road to get in. We did
walk through the whole cemetery
this week. Brandon always seems
uncomfortable visiting my dad. We
discovered that the first residents of
the cemetery moved in back in the
1830s.
Saturday night my great-nephew
and his mom came to visit and play.
That was fun too.
Sunday we had lunch with
Kourtney and her new boyfriend.
He is a very nice young man who
recently got out of the Navy. I think
he helps to keep her grounded some.
After lunch, they came back to my
mom’s for another snowball fight.
We did not get home until about 8:30
Sunday night.
I really enjoy these weekends
away and visiting with my sisters
and their families. But I can’t wait
for the snow to start falling…then
we get more weekends at home
relaxing. Next two weekends we
will be camping.
Nancy’s Notes
Well, hopefully you are back in
routine once again. It’s always great
in the summer to have no schedule
but by fall I’m ready to get organized.
We have some titles that should be
good for your entertainment as you
settle into your new routine.
While growing up I enjoyed
seeing Debbie Reynolds in her
movies. I must admit I don’t know
that her “real” life was quite as
charming. We have purchased her
newest biography, “Unsinkable”.
Reynolds picks up from her 1988
autobiography sharing memories
from the Miss Burbank contest
in 1948 up until the work she did
in 2012. Of course she shares her
man and money problems as well
as giving readers a glimpse of her
family.

of fiction, “Life After Life”, is a
story of self-discovery. It centers
around the lives of residents, staff,
and neighbors of the Pine Haven
retirement center. As each character
connects with another, the mysteries
of their lives are revealed.
Sophie Kinsella always writes a
fun, light hearted tale. Her newest,
“Wedding Night”, is no exception.
Lottie is completely crushed, when
instead of proposing marriage, her
boyfriend proposes going on a trip
together. When an old flame from
the past calls, reminding her of a
pact to marry if both were single at
thirty, she jumps at the chance. Their
family and friends are horrified.
Lottie’s older sisiter, who knows
the act is too impulsive, sets out to
sabotage the wedding night.

By Lindsey Mutchler, Clarion Chamber & Development
You can tell autumn is
approaching, not necessarily by
the weather lately, but rather the
changes around town.
Clarion-Goldfield and Dows
students are back in the classrooms.
The Clarion Aquatic Center
officially closes for the summer
season on Sunday. Grills will be
fired up for Labor Day weekend,
and tail gating parties will soon
be the weekend highlights.
Additionally, football, cross country
and volleyball practices are starting
in earnest.
Soon it’ll be sweatshirt wearing
weather as the leaves change
colors and begin their descent
to the ground, and we’ll put our
lawnmowers away in exchange for
rakes.
We hope the harvest will go
as smoothly as possible for area
farmers, and we have already
noticed store fronts of local
businesses changing décor with the
season.
Other new changes that are
approaching this fall include a
school district reorganization vote
scheduled for Sept. 10. I broached
this briefly in a previous column,
but it’s an important issue for the
community, so I believe it warrants
a little more time in the spotlight.
The proposed reorganization
of the Clarion-Goldfield and Dows
School Districts would close the
Dows School Building and bring
all classes to Clarion. The change
wouldn’t affect the mascots or
school colors, however, the new
district name would become ClarionGoldfield-Dows School District. The
Dows gymnasium would continue
to be used for practices, and the
building would remain in place for
two years in order to find alternative
uses for it.
According to the ClarionGoldfield School District’s August
newsletter, “the reason the districts
developed a reorganization strategy
is to minimize costs while providing
the best educational opportunities
for our students. Financially, the
Dows District isn’t able to stand
alone, even with a sharing partner.
The educational program expenses
for Dows outspent revenue by nearly
$300,000 in 2012-2013.”
The reorganization needs more
than 50 percent of voter approval
in both districts in order to pass.
If the reorganization fails to pass,
the boards of education identified
dissolution as a likely option for the
Dows School District, which would
require a dissolution committee
to make recommendations to the
Area Education Agency to attach
portions of the Dows District with
neighboring districts.
For more information on the
proposed reorganization and where
to vote, please visit www.clargold.
org and read their August newsletter
which can be found under the
“Newsletter” link near the top of the
webpage.
No matter what your view is
on the reorganization, your vote is
extremely important. Please be sure
to carve out five minutes of your
time to vote on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
As a community we all want our
children to receive the best education
possible. So we hope you’ll cast
your vote on Sept. 10.

council that Clarion Packaging has paid all
back taxes and interest due to date and would
like the council to reconsider the denial of the
rebate requested in June of 2013. Cory Abels
recommended that the council not give the
rebate at this time to make sure that all taxes
in the future are paid on time. Attorney Bordwell
in formed the council and Ms. Branca the
council the agreement does not guarantee the
city will provide the rebate and the reason the
council denied the request previously is Clarion
Packaging did not pay taxes by the due date
as stated in the agreement. City Administrator
Pohlman informed the council the amount of
the rebate is budgeted each year should they
choose to approve payment, however we are
into a new Fiscal Year and the payment they are
requesting is for the previous Fiscal Year end
so if they request payment in June of 2014 for
taxes paid in September 2013 and March 2014
it would be paid out of the FYE 15 budget.

Law Enforcement to
heighten traffic enforcement
this Labor Day weekend
From late August through
Labor Day, city, county and
state police will be out in force
as part of the annual
nationwide
“Drive
Sober or Get Pulled
Over” crackdown
on
drunk
driving. The
crackdown,
which
will
include
highvisibility
enforcement
throughout Iowa, will run from
Aug. 26 through Sept. 8.
The effective nationwide drunk
driving crackdown will include
high-visibility enforcement and
will be supported by national paid
advertising, creating a comprehensive
campaign to curb drink driving in
August and through the Labor Day
holiday weekend. Iowa ranks 2nd as
having the lowest number of alcohol
related fatalities in the nation.
While it is illegal to drive drunk
(having a blood alcohol concentration
of .08 or higher) in all 50 states, far
too many people across the nation get
behind the wheel after consuming too
much alcohol. The latest statistics
from the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration
underscore the serious
nature of the nation’s
continuing
drunk
driving epidemic.
“Every
year,
about
one third of all
motor vehicle
traffic deaths involve
one or more drunk drivers
or motorcycle operators,” said
Colonel David Garrison – Chief of
the Iowa State Patrol. “In 2011 9,878
people died across the nation in
crashes involving drunk drivers. That
is approximately one drunken driving
fatality every 53 minutes.” During last
year’s Labor Day Holiday, there were
no reported alcohol related fatalities,
however, there were 4 fatalities.
“Driving drunk is simply not
worth the risk. So don’t take the
chance. Remember we will be out
in force and we will be watching, so
‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,’
said Colonel Garrison.
Wright County Extension to
held Exito en El Norte program
A program for new and
established Spanish-speakers called
Exito en El Norte (Success in the
North) was held at the Iowa State
University Extension Outreach
Office on August 27, from 7-9
p.m. Exito helps Spanish-speaking
members of the community meet
the challenges of daily life in the
U.S., develop critical life skills, and
contribute to their community. Jose
Amaya presented the program.
Foreign-born residents living in
the United States face many unique
challenges. Many adult immigrants
do not learn to speak English
proficiently enough to effectively
communicate with native English
speakers. Misunderstandings also
arise from differences in cultural
norms and expectations. These

challenges are compounded if
low literacy levels keep Spanishspeaking residents from reading
their own language.
The
Wright
County
ISU
Extension Office has already hosted
several Exito programs this August.
Program coordinator Teresa Mendez
says that so far they have been very
successful.
“I am very pleased with the
numbers we have been getting and
the feedback from the members
of our community,” Mendez said.
“It seems like, as this program
continues, the number of participants
increase.”
There are plans to continue
holding Exito programs in the future.

Updates from Meadows Assisted Living
By Sue Wanken
July arrived and out came the
red, white and blue. Flags are flying
and conversation turned to how
many celebrated with old fashioned
picnics, parades, and why we
celebrated.
On
the
fourth,
Lavonne
Isenberger ‘s family celebrated her
birthday and joined us for lunch and
they served a birthday cake to all
for lunch. It is always great to have
family come and join us for meals.
The afternoon was spent enjoying
treats and we had patriotic trivia.
Mildred Lewellyn family’s came
and had her out about for a family
reunion many memories shared as
she was busy going over scrap books
for days. Dottie Voigt visited her son
in Arizona for a couple of weeks and
enjoyed her time with them.
At resident council Stacey
informed the tenants that we would
be updating our pendant system
in the near future. On Tuesdays
we have been doing crafts in the
morning; many fun ideas from
greeting cards, making key chains
from wine corks, to making chalk
boards out of recycled picture frames.
Our faithful exercise group shows
up every Monday and Wednesday
morning. On the 11th Muriel Demuth
from the ladies auxiliary at Iowa
Specialty Hospital, presented in the
afternoon. We learned many things
about what they do, who they help.
Bev searches her cookbooks for
new ideas for baking with Bev, and
also tries to make tenant favorites.
It is always so much fun to hear the
stories while they whip up treats to
enjoy.
As many of you know, the fair
has come and gone but we are proud
to say that once again we sent in
about 30 pieces from our crafts and
were rewarded with blue ribbons on
everything. A special honor was that
Lorraine Hertema cross stitched a
beautiful picture that is framed on
our dining room wall and received
a purple ribbon. It is so great that
these ladies continue to share their
many talents with the public and are
rewarded for them.
A great discussion on picnics
from A-Z had us racking our brains
on what you could put in a picnic
basket and many ideas we never
thought about. Supper by staff that
week was served in a brown paper
bag a treat many had not had in years.
Our staff tries to stay with the theme
of the week and come up with fun and
different menus for our staff served
suppers. We also take suggestions
from tenants and mix it all up. Movies
are shown on Saturdays with popcorn
and Beth Wolff‘s family has brought
us in some new ones to enjoy. Russ
Wendel continues to keep our card
sharks on their toes coming out to
play cards in the evenings each week.
Moments with Marilyn on
Wednesday afternoon have topics
that cover everything from history
to politics to just some great humor.
A large group tends to come and
enjoy and really get the ball rolling.
Marlys and Larry Wicks had family
here and spent time at the cabin
with them. We ended the month
with the great American steak fry,
served fried potatoes, garlic bread
and fruit. Tuesday afternoons we
have devotions and many from the
Meadows come over to partake in
that with us. Many of the staff was on
vacations; everyone seemed to enjoy
the changes and hearing what we
all did. Thank you to the Meadows
Independent Living for inviting us
over to help celebrate twenty years of
being in the community. Many of our
own have lived there; so nice to be
remembered.
It will not be long and kids will
be going back to school and everyone
will get back into their routines. Be
safe and enjoy what is left of summer

35 Years Ago
August 31, 1978
A temporary committee was
turned into a permanent committee
Tuesday noon when a group of more
than 20 business and professional
men gathered at the New Home
Café and elected officers to pursue
the development or improvement
of
Clarion,
particularly
the
downtown area. Elected were Roger
Sumners, chairman; Dwight Tew,
vice chairman; and Lyle Morgan,
secretary.
The Wright County Supervisors
Monday authorized the purchase of
a radar unit that is being used by the
Wright County Sheriff on lease. The
purchase amount is $804.09 plus
$72.60 interest for a total of $877.09.
Alertness and decisive action
on the part of a Clarion sales clerk
and advertising saleslady resulted in
discovery of a young lady passing
bad checks in a number of Clarion
Stores. Joanne White, saleslady at
Ramsey’s was the first to become
suspicious and contacted the Clarion
Brenton Bank on which the checks
were drawn. Upon learning it was
both a fictitious name and account
number, she and Kay VanWyk,
advertising lady for the Wright
County Monitor, who just happened
to go in the store, set out to find her.

Thank You
The family of Jacklyn M. Reyna would like to
thank everyone for
their prayers, gifts, and
friendship. Your kind
expression of sympathy in our
time of need has been deeply
appreciated. Heaven gained
another Angel and
she will be sorely missed.

Bramer, who operated the airport
here previously, is again in charge
and has a temporary operating
designation, until airport personnel
is approved by Washington. Under
war time restrictions it is necessary
that all landing fields be designated
by the government, as it is allegal to
land on an undesignated field.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Woodley
of Rowan have the distinction of
being the first tenant purchasers,
under the government’s farm tenant
purchasing program, to pay off their
loan in this district, which comprises
Wright and Hancock counties. They
are also the fifth tenant purchasers
of about 900 in the state to complete
their loan. The Woodley’s took
out their loan on April 7, 1939 and
received their paid note from Mr.
DeLong on Saturday, Aug. 28, just
four and one-half years later. Mr.
and Mrs. Woodley had a $12,000
loan on their 102 acre farm and of
the $12,000, $9,500 was paid out of
farm income, mainly hogs.
During the electrical storm
Tuesday evening lightning struck
the farm home of Mr. and Mrs.
Roy Winslow, causing considerable
damage. The lightning struck and
followed the high line to the house,
burning out all wiring and starting
a fire in an upstairs clothes closet.
Winslows, by fast work, were able
to keep the fire under control and
confined to the closet until the Dows
fire department arrived.
If we see ourselves as blessed, we need not fear sharing
what we have.

Week #1
By Les Houser
A new school year has begun,
and that means another new season
of fall sports is here. The Cowgirl
and Cowboy teams have been
busy preparing for their respective
seasons, and the schedule gets
underway starting this Friday.
The Clarion-Goldfield Cowboy
football team opens their 2013
season this Friday night, Aug. 30,
with a non-district game at Humboldt
versus the Wildcats. Kickoff is
at 7 p.m. The home opener is the
following Friday, Sept. 7, versus
county rival Eagle Grove.
The volleyball team hosts the
Cowgirl Invitational this Saturday,
Aug. 30, playing in their first match
at approximately 10 a.m., versus
North Butler. Other teams involved
besides the Cowgirls include CAL,
Clear Lake, Eagle Grove and NE
Hamilton. Pool play will be two
sets to 21, with the top two teams
advancing to the championship
match which will be the best 2 out of
3 sets to 25. They will play at GarnerHayfield/Ventura on Thursday, Sept.
5.
The C-G cross country squad begins
their schedule on Tuesday, Sept. 3,
at the Lynx Invite in Webster City.
The first race goes off the starting
line at 5:00 p.m. That is held at the
Lynx Golf Course on the north side
of Webster City, and is just for JV
and Varsity. Middle School runners
will begin competing the following
Tuesday at Belmond-Klemme.
Palmer, Tulp
could still
take racing titles
this weekend
Last Saturday night at Algona, Chad
Palmer of Renwick kept himself
solidly in the running for the stock
car point championship with an
eighth place finish in the evening’s
feature. With season championship
races this Saturday, he is only 28
points out of first place and still has
a chance for the title. He will start
in the front row of the feature event.
Heath Tulp of Belmond is the other
Wright County driver with a chance
to take a title as well, after a third
place finish in his feature at Mason
City last Sunday. John Campbell of
Belmond was second in the feature
with Palmer 10th. The stock car title
at I-35 will be decided this Sunday,
with six drivers all within 30 points
of first place and technically all
having a chance to win the points
crown. Tulp will also start in the
front row, and is only one point
behind the leader in the class.
Racing action at the Humboldt
County Dragway continues into
Fall, with Mick Boyington of Eagle
Grove taking first in super pro last
Saturday night. Cole Grandgeorge
of Eagle Grove continues to lead
junior dragster points, and was a
semifinalist that night. Boyington
capped off his night by being a
runner-up in top money.

week
Attention
all
football
prognosticators. The Pigskin Picks

this year, with the winner each
week getting $15 and second place
getting $10. Ties will be decided by
a random drawing and all decisions

Looking Back
Tigers face a tough foe at Alden Friday night-September 13, 1956
By Rob Ahrens
Friday (tomorrow night) the “under fire.”
The boys have been getting in
Tigers will charge into action on
Alden’s home field, giving the Dows condition with daily practices under
football fans their first taste of the the watchful eye of Coach Max
Sanders and his assistants, Coaches
grid season.
The game is scheduled to begin Robert Huntington and William
promptly at 8 p.m. and Alden, a hard Topping.
Dows faces a number of formidable
team to beat in the past, will provide
an opportunity for the home team teams this year, beginning with
to display strengths and discover Alden, a team which is much
improved from last year’s, Coach
weaknesses.
Eight senior letter men were Sanders reports, Friday nights’ rival
lost from the squad through has both the ever desired speed and
graduation last year, and reports power, composing a powerful foe.
Fourteen lettermen return to see
from practice sessions indicate
the returning lettermen lack the action on the 56-57 squad. They are
necessary experience gained from seniors, Arnis Grundberg, Merrill
both offensive and defensive play. Hanson, Darwyne Muhlenbruch, and
This, it is hoped, will be remedied Jerry Norris; Juniors, Mike Aagesen,
through experience with competing Norman Hanson, Robert Harkema,
teams when the Tigers actually get
Alan Knuths, Fred McAdams, Bill
Peyton and Barton Schweiger,
Besides the returning lettermen,
the squad is composed of seniors
Walt Armstrong and Robert Bridges;
sophmore, Lynn Gaulke; freshmen
Roger Evans, Larry Deakman,
Murvil Hurd, Orlin Schwab, Melvin
Waller and Roger Wheeler.
Two changes have been made in
the football schedule announced last
spring. Bode and Livermore school
districts have reorganized into one
called the Twin Rivers School,
resulting in the loss of one team. In
addition, Rockwell was not able to
complete plans for football this year,
so these dates have been filled with
teams from Eldora Training School
and Hampton’s “B” squad.
Coach Sanders contends that
the Dows Tigers are meeting some
strong opponents this year as is
apparent by the schedule. The boys
will be hosts to the combined schools
of Bode and Livermore at the local
field in their first conference game.
Season tickets for the home games
will be on sale next week. They can
be secured from any member of the
squad. The price is $2 and is good
for all the home games.

interesting happenings from old
issues of the Dows Advocate on

occurrences from years past that you

fewremembranceswithyou.
I started school in September,
a month before I was five. There
were no regulations then. I was so
anxious to go to school and went
all day. It was called primary-not
kindergarten. We learned to read
therealso.Oneday,Icameuponthe

cried. My teacher, Miss Elm, got a
mirrorfrom her deskandmademe

Clarion’s Conlon is the youngest Drake Bulldog
7-year-old Jack Conlon, of
Clarion, will have another team to
root for this fall.
On Saturday, Aug.
17, Jack signed a
commitment letter
to become an official
member of the Drake
University football
team. Through the
efforts of Team
IMPACT, a Bostonbased
nonprofit
organization
that
strives to improve
the quality of life for
children facing lifethreatening illnesses,
Jack will become a
member of the Drake
football team.
“Jack could not
be more excited,”
said Jack’s mother,
Nikki.
Jack’s journey to become a
Drake Bulldog began in the Spring
of 2013 when Jack’s mother, Nikki
Conlon, contacted Team IMPACT
after the encouragement she received
from another family whose daughter
had received the same proton beam
radiation treatments in Boston as
Jack, and whose daughter had also
benefited from Team IMPACT’s
work. (Jack had resided in Boston
during the fall of 2011 for treatment
for his medulloblastoma brain
tumor.) Once Team IMPACT learned
Jack’s story, they began the search to
find a local college sports team that
would essentially adopt Jack into
their organization. Drake University
in Des Moines was a perfect fit.
In June of 2013, Jack was able
to attend a Drake Football Summer
practice. There, he met many of the
players and coaches as well as ran
some plays on the football field.
Following their practice, Jack and
his family joined the football team
for a cook-out on campus.
Later that evening, Jack, his
family, and approximately 60 of the
Drake football players and coaches
attended an Iowa Cubs baseball
game together. Jack was able to
throw out the first pitch of the game,

launch hot dogs, and launch T-shirts
into the crowd.
“Jack loved having the players
sign a Drake football T-shirt for him
during the meal,” Nikki said. “It
was a wonderful day spent with the
Drake Team.”
On August 17, the Drake
Football Team held a special
ceremony for Jack to sign
his commitment letter to
always be a Drake Bulldog.
He was also shown his very
own locker in the Bulldog
locker room and was able
to suit up in Drake pads
and a helmet. As Drake
Football Head Coach
Chris
Creighton
said
during the signing, “This
(relationship) is not just for
right now, or this season.
This is forever.”
So what was
Jack’s favorite part of his
day at Drake?
“All of it, but
mostly going into the
locker room and getting
my helmet,” Jack said.
Jack will attend
Drake’s first home football game
this Thursday, Aug. 29, when they
play Grandview College.
