When Jacci Hindt opened
Urban Images Portrait Studio two
years ago in Eagle Grove, she knew
that someday she wanted to expand
her business to include a boutique.
In March of this year, she made that
dream come true.
“It’s just something I always
wanted to do, and I finally got to
the point where I was able to do it,”
Jacci said.
After all, it’s a natural
combination to her that a clothing
boutique in a photography studio go
hand-in-hand.
“The businesses really work
well together. We now have the
ability to stylize any portrait session
that comes our way, especially for
our high school seniors, which is
what we specialize in at Urban
Image,” Jacci said.
This is an especially attractive
offer for high school girls who are
planning senior portrait sessions,
one of Jacci’s specialties.
Addison
James
Fashion
Boutique offers clothing options
that range from vintage Bohemian
to high-end fashion.
Whether
you’re a teen or a fashion-forward
mom, you’re sure to like what you
see.
“The line is not really for any
one particular personality,” Jacci
said,
She currently offers dresses,
skirts, shorts, pants, blouses, and
even workout clothes. They range
from “crazy, fun” styles to plain
and simple. The best part? They
are affordable, ranging in price
from $9 to $60. If you need some
accessories to go with your new
wardrobe, you’ll also find Chloe +
Isabel jewelry on-hand.
Summer hours for Addison
James are Thursdays and Fridays
from noon to 5 p.m., and Saturdays
from 10 a.m. to noon. You can also
check them out on their Facebook
page at addisonjamesfashion.
“I am excited to offer something
new to Eagle Grove in addition to
what is already here,” concluded
Jacci.
Be sure to stop by and see
her this weekend and check out
her Crazy Day specials. They are
located at 110 SW 10th Street in
Eagle Grove.
Lindstrom completes
75th Ranger Regiment training
by Kim demory
[email protected]
When David Lindstrom, son of
Donnie and Mary Lindstrom, was a
senior in high school, he decided to
join the National Guard. Since he
was only 17, his mom had to sign the
permission slip, which she admits
was a hard thing to do, but she knew
it was what her son really wanted.
Today, she and Donnie are proud of
what he has already accomplished in
the military.
David, a 2008 graduate of Eagle
Grove High School, spent a year-anda-half in the National Guard while
in school. Then, he went on active
duty to Korea, Fort Riley, and then
Afghanistan.
In 2011, he received an email
that the 75th Ranger Regiment was
recruiting mechanics. He thought
it would be cool, but didn’t have the
time on duty station long enough.
“I always wanted to do
something with mechanics...and I
went to tech school for it, but I also
liked the Army. Then, this past year,
everything fell together,” said David.
So he applied.
“I wanted to be a part of (the
75th Ranger Regiment) because it is
the best unit...in the Army. I wanted
to be part of the best.”
With a high PT score, and
a recommendation from his
Commander and First Sergeant,
David was accepted into the eight
week training course. It’s a physical
and demanding session to “see if you
are what they want.”
“It was better than I thought
it would be...but it was physically
demanding, lots of running,” said
David. “The first three weeks were
the tough ones in order to weed
people out. After that, the time was
more focused on training.”
David, and his parents, are
proud to say that he achieved his
goal and recently completed the
Ranger Assessment Program in
Fort Benning, Georgia. He is now a

Now days, it seems we live in
a disposable world. When you no
longer want something, it’s easiest
to just throw it out. But are we
throwing out pieces of our history?
It may seem like just more stuff
cluttering up our homes, but could it
tell a story to future generations?
When Kent Scribner, son of
George Eugene (Gene) and Sylvia
Scribner and owners of Gamble, a
hardware store, in Eagle Grove from
January of 1936 to May of 1942,
decided it was time to downsize
before moving to Washington, he
knew he had to find a home for a
few important things.
“I just don’t see throwing
stuff like (the business ledger from
Gamble) away. I love history, and
this is a piece of it,” Kent said.
When
he
called
Jan
Grandgeorge, director of the Eagle
Grove Memorial Library, to ask if
she would be interested in having
the ledger, she agreed it would be an
interesting asset to the community
of Eagle Grove.
“The book is in remarkable
shape for the number of years it
has been retained in our family’s
effects...and I wanted to give it a
proper new home,” Kent said.
He found that “home” back
in Eagle Grove, where his parents’
business operated for six years.
“I’m not sure how they made a
living when I look at the books...but
they did,” Kent said lightheartedly.
According to Kent, his father
was born in 1906 near Eddyville,
Iowa. He graduated high school in
1925, and studied engineering at the
University of Iowa from 1926 - 1928.
From 1928 - 1929, he was employed
with Swift and Company in Omaha,
Neb., and Monroe Calculating
Company out of Sioux Falls, SD
from 1929 to 1934. In 1934 he
married Sylvia Lois Whitaker.
From 1934 - 1936, he owned and
operated Gamble hardware stores
in Bethany, Mo, before owning the
Gamble store in Eagle Grove from
1936 - 1942. From 1942 - 1947,
Gene worked for Cessna Aircraft
Company in Wichita, KS. In 1947,
the couple bought a miniature steam
train and kiddie auto ride from the
Ottaway Amusement Company and
opened Joyland Amusement Park.
A full-sized Merry-Go-Round and
Toyota trucks, to 4-wheelers and
beyond, are serviced and missioncapable.
“It’s an interesting job because
I will be working on a different
spectrum of vehicles,” David said. “I
like my job. I like the Army. So I’m
going to do it as long as I like it.”
But for David, he said the best
part of this whole experience is
knowing that he will be a part of
the best unit supporting the best
infantry.
While he is proud to be serving
his country, he is also proud to say
that so are two of his sisters. Jessica
plays in the National Guard Band,
and Monica is also serving in the
Iowa Guard.

three additional kid rides were added
between 1951 - 1956. Their sons,
Kent and his brother, Bruce, helped
out as well. The Scribners sold
Joyland Amusement Park in 1963.
During these years, Gene was
also very active in the Sioux Falls
Chamber, their church, fraternal
organizations, and politics - including
the governor of South Dakota
appointing him to fill a vacancy in
the Minnehaha County delegation to
the State House of Representatives
in 1961. He was returned to Pierre
by voters for five more two-year
terms, serving a total of 12 years in
the legislature.
Gene passed away in March
1978, and Sylvia in April of 1978.
Together, they did many great things
throughout their lives, including
owning a business in Eagle Grove.
That is why Kent felt now that he
is moving on to the next chapter of
his own life, it was the right time
to return the business ledger back
where it belonged - in Eagle Grove.
He is delighted to know that after a
stint at the library, it will find it’s final
home at the Eagle Grove Historical
Museum. After all, it is a part of
Eagle Grove history.

A glimpse at the 4-H Clubs of Wright County
by Kim demory
[email protected]
What makes the Wright County
Fair the Wright County Fair? All
the amazing exhibits, ranging
from animals, arts and crafts,
woodworking, sewing, photography,
baking, horticulture...and the list just
goes on and on. The reason there
are so many of these projects from
youth around the area is thanks to
their involvement in Wright County
4-H Clubs.
4-H got its start between the
years of 1890 and 1900. O. H. Benson
in Wright County was among several
Iowa county school superintendents
who were considered pioneers
(1906) in the club organization and
heavily promoted “club” work. The
organization has continued to grow
over the years, and today, Wright
County is proud to be home to seven
different 4-H Clubs.
Iowa Hawkeyes
The Iowa Hawkeyes are 20 members strong. Based out of Belmond, the
group is led by Karla Pals (16 years), her daughter Sara Goemaat, and Sara’s
sister-in law, Brittany Goemaat.
“We have a great group of kids and a great group of parents,” said Pals.
“They have been working hard on their booth (backdrop for the Fair) and
they are pretty excited about it.”
Since the club doesn’t have many farm families, most of the kids focus
their attention on Exhibit Building displays. There are some, however, that
have poultry to show. In light of this year’s avian bird flu, that will obviously
change.
“But I don’t think any of them have given up on it (and may look at doing
something different with birds), said Pals.
One of the club’s most memorable moments of the year was having a
meal together and then going Christmas caroling at the local care center,
assisted living, at the hospital, and at the community apartments.
“I think the kids really get into that. They have smiles on their faces
when they see how people are enjoying their visit,” said Pals.
Other community service programs they do throughout the year include:
Taking tags from the Giving Tree at Christmas time to purchase gifts for
kids; helping pack summer meals for under privileged children who receive
free school lunches during the school year; and recycling aluminum cans
from the “can cage” (rotates between them and the Pleasant Progressors 4-H
Club) and giving the money to 4th of July fireworks and the Santa House
projects.
The club also
does a beef cookout
and bake sale as a
fundraiser
each
May.
“That keeps us
going through-out
the year,” said Pals.
Other
fun
activities include a
hayride/cookout/
2014 Share the Fun act
bonfire each fall
to welcome new
club
members,
participating in Fun Nite activities, and doing “Bucket of Flowers” for the
fair with Larry Turner of Winding Creek Gardens.
The Iowa Hawkeyes meet once a month of varying days. At the first
meeting of the year, they look at the calendar and try to set the most available
days for meetings to allow kids in other activities to be involved in 4-H.
“We do it so we can be accessible to kids that have set agendas on certain
nights,” said Pals.
Wright Warriors
The Wright Warriors group is based out of Eagle Grove. With 31 members, they are the largest club in
the county.
The group has been under the leadership of Phyllis Larson for the past 10 years. She is happy to announce
that Allison and Bryan Whaley will be joining her as leaders for the 2015 - 2016 4-H year.
With a large number of members, there is always a large variety of projects exhibited at the Wright County
Fair from this group. Be sure to stop by their booth at the Exhibit Building to see all of their hard work. You
will also be able to find several of them modeling outfits at the Fashion Revue and performing in the Share the
Fun Talent Show on Thursday, July 9 beginning at 7 p.m.
The Wright Warriors are also very active throughout the year in the community. Some highlights include an
annual Family Meal featuring a different country (this year it was Italian), Christmas caroling at Rotary Senior
Living, adopting a HOPES family, and visits to Rotary Senior Living to name a few that have been popular the
last couple of years. They have also made teacher bags to give out during the annual Red Apple Luncheon,
made surgery caps, and
supported member projects like
Leader Dogs and Pillowcases for
soldiers.
The Wright Warriors meet
the second Saturday of the
month at 10 a.m. in the basement
of Samuel Lutheran Church in
Eagle Grove.
“I encourage people to come
see our Exhibits and animal
projects. Come have lunch with
us at the 4-H food stand, too,”
said Larson.
Some of the members at the annual Awards Day
Lake Clovers
The Lake Clovers are under the direction of Melissa Hackley (four
years) and currently have 19 members. They meet the second Sunday
of every month at 4 p.m. in the Clarion Library.
The Lake Clovers are once again looking forward to participating
in Share the Fun at the 2015 Wright County Fair. Last year, their Share
the Fun skit earned them a trip to the Iowa State Fair. It was one of the
highlights of their year.
“It was memorable for the girls and myself all getting to go together
and perform,” said Hackley.
They are hoping this year’s skit will earn them a repeat visit.
Something new the group tried this year was woodworking. A
workshop was held, where, with a little help, they completed four Hannah Kapka 2014 Fair
wooden benches that they have donated to the Wright County Fair
which will be placed by the free stage area.
“It was a new experience for the girls to do woodworking,” Hackley said.
Although the girls didn’t actually do the cutting, they did do all of the rest of the work.
“It gave them a new perspective,” Hackley added.
Be sure to check out the many projects they have prepared for this year’s fair, including exhibits and animals.
Phoebe Sanders - 2014 Fair
Not all of them have a swine project
anymore, but they still represent a
strong presence in the project area.
“We take great pride in barn
herdsmanship and having the largest
percentage of pigs and cattle at the
fair from our club,” said Swanson.
Each year, the club takes an
industry tour to learn more about the
swine industry. This has included
tours of farms, boar studs, ISU meat
lab and Vet school, Hormel foods,
etc. This year, they also conducted a
pig autopsy during FSQA training.
The Wright County P.I.G. club
is proud to give back to the fair by
having cleaned the swine barn and
show arena before the fair.
If you are interested in showing
or learning more about swine, or
would like to become a member of
the club, they meet the first Sunday
of every month at 1 p.m. at the
Swanson home.
Be sure to stop in the 4-H
Exhibit Building and the
barns to enjoy all the
projects of club members
The Liberty Pathfinders of
Goldfield have 28 members. First
year co-leaders Lynn Seaba and
Jennifer Rasmussen are proud to say
that they added nine new members to
their 4-H club this year.
“Our club is broad in scope,”
said Seaba. “Our members are from
Goldfield, Renwick, and rural Wright
County.”
The Liberty Pathfinders meet
at 6 p.m. on the first Sunday of each
month at the United Presbyterian
Church in Goldfield, and they would
love for you to join them.
The club’s members are involved
in a variety of project areas. You will
find their work in both the Exhibit
Building as well as in the livestock
barns.
When not busy working on fair
projects, the club stayed active this
year by holding a food drive and
making a donation to the local food
bank.
The Dayton Lake 4-H Club is
based out of Clarion and is proud to
have 24 members.
Club leaders include Tim Woodin
(18 years), Jim Mews (two years), and
Marcie Brodersen (two years).
Members in this club will also
have project entries in the Exhibit
Building and in the livestock area at
the 2015 Wright County Fair.
“Something to watch for, I think
we are going to have a few pretty big
sized Exhibits there this year,” said
Brodersen.
The club meets the second
Sunday of each month at the
Extension office in Clarion. One of
the most memorable events of their
year was taking a trip to the Heartland
Museum for a tour.
Each year the club has a pizza
party in December. Instead of giving
each other gifts, they bring cat food,
dog food, pet toys, towels, litter, etc.,
and they donate it tot he Wright
County Humane Society.
Pleasant Progressors
The Pleasant Progressors 4-H of
the Belmond area has 14 members
this year and is under the direction
of Robin Meyer and Joni Worden.
Meyer has been with the club for 25
Wright County P.I.G.
Wright County P.I.G. has 16
members from the Clarion/Dows
area. Stuart Swanson has been their
leader for the past seven years.
Swanson said the club originally
started as a “pork interest” group.
Liberty
Pathfinders
years, while Worden follows close
behind with 22 years.
“Our club had a large number
of new members this year and it has
been great to see all the eager minds
want to learn and want to be a part of
4-H,” said Meyer.
The Pleasant Progressors do a
large variety of projects at the fair.
There are lots to see on display in the
Exhibit Building and also a variety
of animal projects. Meyer is also
excited to say that their club has
two members running for the title of
2015 Wright County Fair Queen.
The club is proud to say they
do a number of community service
projects throughout the year. They
include: Ditch clean-up; sending
Christmas packets to the service
people of the community, giving
home-baked treats to community
supporters, adopting a family at
Christmas, and giving back to the
fair to help with beautification
projects.
The Pleasant Progressors meet
on the first Sunday afternoon of
each month at the United Methodist
Church in Belmond. Their members
come from a wide area including
Belmond, Dows, Rowan, and
Meservey.
4-H is open to any student in fourth through 12th grade. Children and their parents can choose what
club they would like to join based on their location and interests. If you would like more information or
are interested in joining, please contact any of the above mentioned leaders or call Jessica Norman at the
Wright County Extension office.
4-H Mission
4-H empowers youth to reach their full
potential through youth-adult partnerships and research-based experiences.

Rich and Shelly Rethman love collecting,
restoring classic cars
Willys are the favorite, but they have many others
By les houser
[email protected]
If you attended the classic car
show at the Municipal Airport during
Summerfest, you saw a large display
of both vintage cars from a bygone era
along with a few more recent ‘muscle’
cars. Car enthusiasts attended with
their favorite ‘toys’ from a wide
area, but several of the great looking
machines came from right here in
Eagle Grove. If you remember seeing
the Willys, or the ‘Britt Lumber’
woody, you were seeing just a very
small part of the collection owned by
Rich and Shelly Rethman.
“I love the old cars,” said Rich,
who also owns with his wife the Poka-Dot Plumbing & Welding business
on South Commercial. “That started
with a ’66 Chevelle which was my car
in high school. I restored that seven
years ago.” They currently have 14
Willys Aeros or Burmudas, and along
with a few others like the woody they
own over 20 total. That number keeps
growing as he just bought another last
week.
“We bought the first Willy in
2011, and it was Shelly’s father’s car
so it was special to her and that’s
why we have so many more of them
now,” explained Rich as to why they
chose that particular make. “It’s an
addiction.” He relates the story of how
her father obtained the car by ‘horsetrading’ it for something a neighbor
wanted. “It sat in a pasture for maybe
30 years, so we brought it back to
Iowa from Wyoming,” said Rich.
While you may not be familiar
with the Willys autos, you might have
heard of a Willys jeep. It’s the same
company, and they also made trucks
and station wagons. It was a brand
name used by the Willys-Overland
Motor Company. John Willys bought
the Overland Automotive Division of
Standard Wheel Company in 1908
and four years later renamed it. From
1912 to 1918, they were the secondlargest producer of automobiles in
the U.S. after Ford Motor Company.
After the Overland line ceased
production, it was replaced with the
Whippet brand of small cars. Several
other lines came and went, along
with name changes, over the next
succeeding years.
It was in 1952 when the company
This the Britt Lumber “Woody”, one of several classic vehicles
owned by Rich and Shelly Rethman of Eagle Grove. Their
grandson Noah Rethman, age 11, is pictured sitting inside this
great looking truck. Rich started his collection with a 1966
Chevelle he restored seven years ago after driving the car during
his high school years. They own several Willys sedans, which
he started buying in 2011, as well as other cars and trucks. Their
first Willys once belonged to Shelly’s father. Photo provided
introduced the Willys Aero. It was first
available as a two-door sedan, and
later a four-door model was added.
“The cars were called Lark, Wing,
Falcon, Ace or Eagle, depending on
the year, engine and trim package,”
said Rich. “In 1955, they added
Custom and Bermuda models in their
final year of production.”
In 1953, they were purchased by
Kaiser Motors with the name changed
again to Willys Motor Company.
Sales for the cars continued to fall
soon after, and after the last passenger
car was built in 1955 they shipped the
Aero’s tooling to Brazil where it was
built from 1960 to 1962. Kaiser-Jeep
was sold in 1970 to American Motors
(remember the Gremlin, Matador and
Pacer models?). The Jeep marque
was owned later by DaimlerChrysler
and now by Fiat. “When they made
changes to the car in the ‘60’s, to more
of a European style, it just killed the
car in America,” recalls Rich.
Rich finds the cars in various
ways, either from searching online,
people telling him about a car or
from just driving around and spotting
one. “I’ve bought them in various
conditions,” said Rich. “I have one
right now that’s just a parts car.” He
said that parts can be very hard to
find, and are expensive if you do find
them. “Finding a parts car is the best
way,” said Rethman.
Besides Wyoming, he has
traveled to the states of Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri and Montana as
well to purchase and bring back some
of the cars. “I bought the car from
Illinois from a guy who restored it and
owned it for 40 years,” said Rethman.
“He knew (with me) that it was going
to a good place.”
From the very first one on,
Rethman has just always loved
the Willys automobiles. “It’s a
comfortable ride for six people,” said
Rethman about the cars that retailed
from $1,800 to $2,200 new depending
on the model’s trim packages. “It’ll
get up and go.” He also related that
the market for the original 1941
coupe, built by the same company, is
much stronger than for the later model
sedans. “If you could find one of those,
completely restored, it would cost you
maybe up to $100,000.” When asked
when he might someday stop buying
cars (he bought another just a week
prior to this interview) he responded
“When I run out of money.”
Supervisors approve list of weight
limit bridge postings
By les houser
[email protected]
Wright County Engineer Adam
Clemons presented the list of bridge
weight limit postings at this week’s
Board of Supervisors meeting. The
recommendations for any changes
are based on the most recent
inspections conducted by an outside
structural engineer.
Out of all the bridges in the
county, only seven of them will
require a change in posted limits.
“A bridge in Dayton Township, on
250th Street, is probably one of the
worst but it’s already scheduled for
2017,” said Clemons. Another small
bridge in Lake Township (airport
road) will also see a reduced load
limit. The bridge on R65 will now
be designated for one truck only
until it gets repaired soon. Clemons
said that the bid letting for that
project will be early next year. The
Board then approved the changes,
which will go into effect as soon as
the appropriate signage is in place.
The Board also held some
discussion on ditch cleaning. They
realize it’s a growing problem all
over the county, and they along
with Clemons would like to figure
out a solution without spending a
lot of time and money on it. Some
ideas were put on the table, but
nothing was formally decided at
this time. “It’s a huge problem, and
will involve a huge requirement for
funding it,” said Supervisor Stan
Watne. “I’m not sure what we can
do.” The consensus seemed to be
that the ditch drainage, along with
keeping water off the roads, are the
priorities so anything that affects
either of those should be dealt with
immediately. Other than that, the
Board will continue to study the
issue for a longer-term solution.
Roxanne Dass, a regional field
director with America’s Renewable
Future, addressed the Board about
the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)
and how county officials around
north central Iowa can get involved.
She explained that the group is a
non-profit which promotes the RFS,
which will expire in 2022. Dass
said that can include ethanol, biodiesel and fuel from cooking oil
among others. They also partner
with several groups, like the Iowa
Corn Growers, to promote their use
and the continuation of the RFS.
“We want to see the presidential
candidates pledge their support prior
to the caucuses,” said Dass. She
explained that the entire industry
as a whole provides 73,000 jobs
and over $5 billion in wages for the
state. “We’re trying to educate all
of the candidates on the importance
of it,” said Dass. She also requested
the Board make a pledge of support
for the RFS. “We want 50,000
signatures, and hope for broad
support by the candidates,” said
Dass.
She is also aware that they will
need to change some of the political
opinion that’s out there. “For
instance, this is not a tax subsidy,”
said Dass. “It’s a mandate as part of
the Renewable Fuels Act.” Benefits
she pointed out include cheaper gas
prices and a cleaner-burning fuel.
“A majority of people support it and
realize its importance to the state of
Iowa,” said Dass.
In other action the Board:
-approved a name, as presented
by Shari Plagge of the Information
Technology (IT) committee, of a
new IT Director for the county.
According to Plagge, extensive
background checks were done with
no problems appearing. The Board
will now extend him the offer;
-approved Resolution 201519 on the sharing of a mental
health advocate with Pocahontas
and Humboldt. According to Jen
Sheehan, that person will be Alice
Porter and her office will be in
Pocahontas as she serves all three
counties. Pocahontas will be the
employer, with the other two sharing
in her expenses;
-accepted the cash count from
close of business for the fiscal year
ending June 30;
-received and approved the
quarterly revenue report from the
Wright County Sheriff’s Office.

Courier-Reminder publisher retires,
Mid-America Publishing takes over
Effective Thursday, July 2, the Ida
County Courier and The Reminder
will be published by a new owner,
Mid-America Publishing Corporation
based in Hampton.
Mid-America had entered into
an agreement earlier in June 2015
to purchase the publications from
Roger and Karen Rector. The July 7-8
editions will mark the first editions
under Mid-America’s stewardship.
“We are very excited to add the Ida
County Courier and the Reminder
to our family of newspapers,” said
Ryan Harvey, president and CEO
of Mid-America Publishing. “Roger
and Karen have done a tremendous
job with the papers over the past
few years and we look forward to
continuing to build upon the tradition
that they have estab-lished.”
Rector has been associated with
the Reminder and Courier for a total
of 55 years.
The publications will join a
growing group of 23 weekly
newspapers owned and operated by
Mid-America. The Courier is the
ninth county seat newspaper owned
by the company. They include the
Hampton Chronicle, Butler County
Tribune-Journal (Allison), Wright
County Monitor (Clarion), the
Eldora Herald-Ledger and Hardin
County Index, of Eldora; The NewsReview, of Sigourney; the Grundy
Register, of Grundy Center; The
Graphic-Advocate (Lake CityRockwell City); and The Leader
(Garner-Britt). Other papers owned
and operated by the company include: The Record (Conrad), The
Sheffield Press; The Eagle Grove
Eagle; The Kanawha Reporter; The
Buffalo Center Tribune; The Pioneer
Enterprise (Rockwell-Thornton); The
Keota Eagle; The Clarksville Star;
The Ogden Reporter; the Calmar
Courier; The Postville Herald; The
Sun (New Sharon-Fremont); and The
Outlook (Monona.) The company
also produces two weekly political
newspapers,
the
Conservative
Chronicle and the Liberal Opinion
Week.
Additionally the company prints
several TMC shoppers, such as
The Hampton Chronicle’s Bonus
in Hampton, The Spectrum in Lake
City-Rockwell City, The Leader’s
Shoppers News Review in Garner,
and the Wright County Reminder in
Clarion; plus monthly shoppers such
as The Dual County Leader in Eagle
Grove and the Keokuk County Chief
in Sigourney.
“Terms of the purchase have
not been released. The Ida County
publications are a natural fit in
our company,” Harvey said.
“The backbone of our company
is
community-focused
weekly
newspapers. We only hope to build
upon the strong foundation that
Roger and Karen have built.”
Harvey will serve as the regional
publisher. Day-to-day operations
will be handled by office manager
Amy Forbes. Forbes, along with the
rest of the staff in Ida Grove, have
been offered employment by MidAmerica.
News editor Beth Wolterman has
chosen to retire from her position
along with the Rectors. Wolterman
has cov-ered area news for the Courier
for the past 31 years. Mid-America
is currently advertising to fill the
Courier’s news editor position.
“Karen and I would like to thank
all our dedicated subscribers, readers
and advertisers for your support and
friendship over the years. It has been
a long and amazing career, and we are
confident Mid-America Publishing
will carry on our tradition and make
our publications even stronger in Ida
County,” Rector said.
“I would also like to thank my
dedicated staff for their many years
of service to the company. It has been
a huge team effort every single week,
from the planning stages to the final
product,” Rector said.
Mid-America also has a commercial
printing division, based in Hampton,
that offers customized printing and
pub-lishing solutions such as banners,
posters, postcards, direct mailing,
mailing list management, letter head
design, newsletter management
and dozens of other marketing and
promotional products which it plans
to make available locally in the Ida
Grove area.
“We’re more than thrilled to be a
part of Ida Grove and Ida County,”
said Harvey.
Harvey further added that MidAmerica’s interest in Ida Grove is
partly because of the good mix of
businesses operating there including
both new and established industries,
and employers who bring people to
the community.
“A community newspaper is only as
healthy as the community it serves,”
Harvey stated. “It is encouraging to
see the commitment to commerce in
Ida Grove over the long term.”
Matt Grohe, board chair of MidAmerica Publishing added “We
appreciate Roger’s willingness to
working with us to incorporate these
publications into our lineup. We are
very grateful for his consideration
and look forward to serving the
citizens and businesses in Ida Grove
and beyond well into the future.”
The newspaper will stay in its
current location at 214 W. Main St.
and will retain the same mailing
address, email addresses and phone
number.
Readers of the newspapers will
notice some immediate changes
however. The newspaper’s billing
and circulation will be handled by
the company’s home office staff in
Hampton and additional content will
appear. The printing of the newspaper
will also move to the Hampton
facility rather than being printed in
LeMars.
Both the Courier and Reminder
will now be printed on Monday,
rather than Tuesday. The deadline
for all news and display advertising
will be Friday at 3 p.m. The deadline
for all classified advertising will be
Friday at 5 p.m.
In addition, a new-look website
will be launched in the next couple of
months, along with a new Facebook
page.

Around the Area/Public Opinion
King Band concerts offer
something for everyone
Each week during June and July,
the Karl L. King Municipal Band
presents their Sunday evening
concerts in Oleson Park at the Karl
L. King Band Shell, and each week
they present a wide variety of band
music to appeal to all ages and
musical tastes. This week’s concert
on Sunday, July 12, is no exception.
Beginning at 7:30 p.m., Conductor
Jerrold P. Jimmerson and Assistant
Conductor Dr. David Klee will offer
selections in many different styles.
Conductor Jimmerson has planned
a special concert this week which
he has titled “TRIBUTES.” Many
different selections on the hour-long
program will pay tribute to different
styles of music, along with different
people or historical events.
If marches are your favorites,
then you will hear several, from
Karl King’s Michigan On Parade,
and Carl Lawrence’s Salute to the
Sultan, to Edwin Franko Goldman’s
Tribute to Sousa, and finally former
conductor Reginald R. Schive’s
tribute to the members of the King
Band with The Black and Gold
Line.
Many people enjoy those patriotic
selections, and this concert will
include Morton Gould’s American
Salute, based on “When Johnny
Comes Marching Home Again”
from the Civil War era. Others enjoy
the various Karl King compositions.
Included in this concert will be a
beautiful serenade, Lover’s Lane,
which was dedicated to Mr. King’s
wife, Ruth. Still others wait for
those fast-paced circus galops,
which this week will feature King’s
The Whippet Race, dedicated to the
Superintendent of Speed at the Iowa
State Fair. Ragtime music always
gets the toes tapping, and this week
will include George Washington’s
Birthday Party by C.L. Barnhouse.
There will even be a selection
dedicated to Conductor Jimmerson
and the Karl King Band. Andrew
Glover has masterfully arranged
Danza Brilliante (from the opera
Aida), by Italian composer Giuseppe
Verdi, into an exciting new
selection.
This week’s soloist will be
Christina Tait on clarinet from
Carroll. Ms. Tait will perform A
Tribute to Artie Shaw, the famous
jazz clarinet player and band
leader from the Big Band era of the
1940’s. This medley includes many
familiar songs, such as “Dancing in
the Dark,” “Begin the Beguine,”
“Stardust,” and “Frenesi.”
Christina Tait graduated from
Ottumwa High School, and earned
a Bachelor of Music Education
degree from Iowa State University
and a Masters Degree in Clarinet
performance from Western Illinois
University. She has performed with
numerous symphony orchestras in
both Iowa and Illinois, including
the Fort Dodge Area Symphony.
She has taught music in the public
schools for 8 years, most recently at
West Bend-Mallard, and has taught
applied music and other classes
at Buena Vista University, Iowa
Wesleyan College in Mt. Pleasant
and Knox College in Illinois.
Also featured will be Shari
Netz, vocalist from Manson. Shari
works as a legal secretary in Fort
Dodge and Rockwell City, and
has performed in the area with the
Manson Meridian Singers and the
Pocahontas Community Band, as
well as the King Band. She will
sing A Gershwin Tribute to Love,
including many familiar selections
made popular by the song-writing
duo of George and Ira Gershwin.
Persons attending these concerts
are reminded to bring along their
own lawn chairs, since there is no
seating provided. These summer
concerts are provided for everyone
free of admission charge by the City
of Fort Dodge. The Good Shepherd
Lutheran Church also offers a
homemade ice cream social before
the concert starts each week.
Farmland leasing meeting
set for August 20 in Clarion
More than half of Iowa farmland is
rented, and the percentage of farmland
rented has increased over time due
to the changing demographics of
farmland owners. Iowa farmland
cash rental rates decreased overall
this past year. Farmland values have
also decreased.
Iowa State University Extension
and Outreach in Wright County is
hosting a farmland leasing meeting
on August 20, at 9:00 A.M. to address
questions that land owners, tenants,
or other interested individuals have
about farmland leasing.
The meeting will be held at the
Wright County Extension Office
located at 210 1st Street S.W. in
Clarion.The meeting is approximately
2 ½ hours in length. Similar meetings
are being held across Iowa. Other
locations can be found by contacting
the Wright County Extension Office
or the ISUEO calendar of events at
http://www.extension.iastate.edu/
calendar/ .
Attendees
will
gain
an
understanding of current cash rental
rate surveys and factors driving next
year’s rents such as market trends
and input costs. They will learn
about types of leases and results of
farmland value surveys. Information
on lease termination notices,
Farm Bill updates and web-based
resources will also be included. A
100-page workbook will be included
with registration that includes land
leasing information such as surveys,
sample written lease agreement and
termination forms, and many other
publications.
“Due to changes in commodity
markets and government programs
farmland owners and tenants have
challenging decisions to make, and
this meeting provides information to
stay up to date on farmland leasing
issues”, says Kelvin Leibold, ISU
Extension and Outreach Farm and
Ag Business Management Specialist.
Leibold will be the presenter at the
meeting.
Pre-register by calling the Wright
County Extension and Outreach
office at 515-532-3453.

Iowa Specialty
Hospitals and
Clinics and
Iowa Weight
Loss Specialists
celebrating
first year in
partnership
Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics
is proudly celebrating their one year
anniversary with partners Iowa
Weight Loss Specialists. To date,
over 150 gastric sleeve operations
have been performed as a result of
this partnership.
Iowa Weight Loss Specialists
sees patients at both Iowa Specialty
Hospital in Belmond and their West
Des Moines location. Options for
patients include medical weight
loss which combines consultations
with medical providers, diet and
exercise planning, and prescription
weight loss medication, if necessary.
In addition, surgical weight loss
using the gastric sleeve method is
available. The Laparoscopic Sleeve
Gastrectomy removes between 7080 percent of a patient’s stomach,
which suppresses the appetite
and controls portion sizes. This
procedure also removes the hunger
hormone, grehlin, causing the patient
to no longer feel hunger.
“Our partnership with Iowa Weight
Loss Specialists allows us to bring
more options to our patients,” stated
Amy McDaniel, Belmond CEO.
“We’re pleased to work directly with
them to help our patients reduce
health complications and achieve a
healthier lifestyle.”

Loss Specialists, please visit

Fort Dodge (NE Entrance, meeting
room is located across from the JC
Penney Salon).
Cathy Sonnickson will share how
a vision has come to be her life’s

Coffee and water will be
provided.

The Wright County Food Pantry recently received nine cases of pork loins donated
by the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation and Iowa Select Farms. The donation is
part of a larger effort to replenish many of Iowa’s rural food pantries during a time
when most hunger relief resources run critically low. In total, 22 tons of pork loins
will be donated to over 85 food pantries and shelves throughout Iowa.

Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation donates 22
tons of pork to replenish rural food pantries
Empty freezers in Iowa food
pantries are now full as the Deb and
Jeff Hansen Foundation and Iowa
Select Farms announce the donation
of approximately 44,000 pounds of
fresh, boneless pork loins to help
feed Iowa families in need. The
pork was delivered June 16–30 to
local community organizations, food
shelves and pantries across the state.
“We focus on helping Iowa
families who need a helping hand,”
says Jeff Hansen, President and CEO
of Iowa Select Farms. “The pork
loin donation helps bring families
together for a good meal, which is
especially important now that kids
are on summer break and without
school lunch programs to help them
make it through the day.”
One in eight Iowans, nearly
390,000 individuals, face the risk
of hunger every day, according
to Cory Berkenes, Executive
Director of the Iowa Food Bank

oftentimes find our pantries are short
of meat, dairy and fresh produce,
food items that many families in
need simply cannot afford.”
Each donated pork loin is being
accompanied by a free 16-page
booklet intended to provide families
with information about how to
properly store, handle and prepare
the pork. The booklet also contains a
collection of economical recipes for
families to easily turn the pork loin
into a full meal with leftovers.
The boneless pork loins are
approximately 4.5 pounds each and
feed 24 people a 3-ounce serving
of pork. The 820 cases of pork loin
roasts donated by the Deb and Jeff
Hansen Foundation and Iowa Select
Farms will provide approximately
234,700 servings to Iowa families.
News
Tip?
Pollard Family Dentistry
of Eagle Grove is excited to
K
Association, so the donation, valued
at $126,800, comes at a time of
great need. “There is no one face of
hunger—it affects children, adults,
and seniors; knowing that many of
these hard working families will be
receiving this generous gift is simply
wonderful,” Berkenes says.
Each community has their own
unique needs, so the Foundation
works with local pantries to determine
how they can best meet those needs.
In total, 820 cases of pork loins will
be distributed during this round of
donations, and with the great need
for lean protein, pantries exhaust
their supply very quickly. Whether
the pork is used to meet immediate
needs or stored in the freezer for
future needs, the loins help ease the
stress for families wondering where
their meals will come from.
“You have no idea how much this
donation helps,” says Carol Clayton,

Eagle Grove Eagle
Eagles trounce Manson
NWW 13-2, stay close in others
By les houser

The efforts of the Eagle Grove
varsity baseball team in recent action
were rewarded with yet another
victory, along with a few other games
that stayed close and could have
easily went into the win column as
well. They at least had a good chance
in those games.
On June 25, they hosted the
Cougars from Manson Northwest
Webster and took a nice 13-2 fiveinning win. The purple and gold
established dominance early, plating
nine scores in their half of the second
inning. Two additional runs, in both
the fourth and fifth, allowed them to
put it in cruise control from there.
Jacob Grandgeorge was 3 for 3,
including a double, and drove in one
run while scoring two himself. Kent
Jorgenson was 3 for 4, with a homer
and a double, three RBI and a run
scored. Carlos Lobato was 2 for 3
with a double and two runs scored.
Mike Dicke doubled as his only hit
and drove in two runs. Brian Yackle
and Alex Jensen both had a base hit
each, with Jensen also credited with
an RBI. Brian Gonzalez, Yackle and
Jensen all crossed the dish twice each,
while Devon Omvig and Hector Sosa
both scored once each. Yackle stole a
pair of bases, with Gonzo and Jensen
each making one theft. Yackle drew
a walk.
Jorgenson earned the win on the
hill, allowing no earned runs on a
one-hitter. He walked seven, but also
issued four K’s.
On June 26, they lost a 10-7
game at Lake Mills. The Eagles held
a 5-3 after their half of the fifth, only
to have the Bulldogs go up 6-5. The
home team scored four more in their
half of the next inning. Lobato was 2
for 4, including a double, and drove
in a run while also scoring one. Nate
Kastler was 2 for 3 with an RBI and a
run scored. Grandgeorge, Dicke and
Jensen all had a base hit apiece, with
Jacob and Mike also credited with an
RBI each. Omvig and Yackle also had
an RBI each. Omvig crossed the plate
twice, with single scores registered by
Gonzalez, Dicke and Sam Johnson.
Dicke stole a base, while both Omvig
and Jorgenson drew a free pass to
first.
Grandgeorge was pegged with
the loss, giving up four earned on
four hits over 2 2/3 innings. He
walked four and struck out one. Dicke
pitched 2 1/3, allowing three earned
on four hits with three walks and one
strikeout. Lobato also saw mound
duty, allowing two earned with two
walks and two K’s.
On June 29, they split a home
doubleheader with Osage by dropping
the first 5-4 (in eight) and winning the
nightcap 4-0. The Eagles scored twice
in the fourth, which was sandwiched
between single runs in both the first
and seventh innings, in game one. In
game two, they scored all their runs
in the fifth.
Yackle went 2 for 3 in the first
game, with a homerun and a double.
He drove in three runs while also
scoring one. Jorgenson had the only
other hit, a single, which drove in a
run. Also scoring once each were
Omvig, Johnson and Dalton Schaffer.
Grandgeorge and Schaffer each had a
steal, with Jorgensonm Yackle, Dicke
and Kastler all showing patience at
the plate with a walk each.
Grandgeorge absorbed the loss,
pitching 3 1/3 with no earned on three
hits. He walked one and fired three
K’s. Jorgenson allowed two earned on

Lady Eagles defeat Cowgirls and Cardinals
By les houser
[email protected]
In a home doubleheader not
reported on last week, the Eagle Grove
varsity softball team dropped both
ends to visiting Osage by scores of
10-1 and 7-3. The Green Devils were
up 5-0 after two complete frames and
never looked back from there.
Jana Willard scored the lone run
for the purple and gold on a single by
Samm Kruckenberg. That was one of
two base hits by Samm in the game.
Willard went 2 for 3, with Jarika
Eisentrager getting the only other
base hit. Kruckenberg and Bailey
Boyer stole a base each, while Boyer
and Tori Axtell each drew a free pass
to first. Heather Wilson took the loss
in the circle, giving up six earned
runs over six innings.
In game two, a bit more offensive
production for the Eagles still couldn’t
put them in the win column. Tori went
2 for 3, with a Kruckenberg getting a
double and both Aja Bell and Heather
a base hit. Samm, Aja and Heather
scored the runs, with Bailey, Heather
and Esme Figueroa all credited with
an RBI each. Heather also drew a
walk. Sarah Wilson took the loss,
giving up six earned with no walks
and four K’s.
“This was a night that we
were just flat,” said head coach Jim
McLaughlin. “It made it look like we
didn’t belong on the same field with
them. We didn’t show much energy.
Osage scored early and put us behind
the eight ball, and we didn’t respond
well. We took a lead in the second
game, but then couldn’t hold on. Give
Osage credit, because they played
two better ball games.”
On Tuesday the defeated the
visiting Cowgirls from ClarionGoldfield-Dows 6-5. Kruckenberg
and Tori Axtell were both 2 for 3,
with Tori driving in a pair of runs
as well. Heather connected on a
two-bagger as her only hit, with
Eisentrager, Figueroa, Willard and
Hallie Jeske all reaching on singles.
Willard was credited with two RBI
and Jeske one, with Shelby Axtell
crossing the dish twice as a courtesy
runner. Bailey, Esme, Jana and Laine
Morgan all came home with a run
each. Kruckenberg showed her skill
on the base paths with three steals,
with Jarika, Jana and Hallie all
getting one each.
Heather picked up the win
as pitcher, going the distance and
allowing just three earned on nine
hits. She allowed no walks and struck
out one batter.
“We were down 5-2 after five,
which made it gut check time for us,”
said the head coach. “In the fifth, the
Cowgirls made the plays and hit the
ball. Our three-run sixth was big to
come back and tie it.”
On Wednesday night they took a
4-3 home win over Garner-Hayfield/
Ventura in a tight game. Kruckenberg,
Bell, Boyer and Willard all scored
the runs, with Bell, Boyer and Jeske
all getting an RBI each to drive the
runs home. Boyer went 3 for 3 and
Jeske ripped a double as her only
connection. Samm, Tori and Jana all
supplied a single each to the attack.
Kruckenberg and Willard each
picked off a base, with Bell drawing
a free pass to first.
Heather was pegged with the
loss, but allowed just two earned on
a six-hitter with no walks and three
K’s.
“We went up early 2-0, with
Samm doing her usual great job of
getting on base and getting us going,”
said McLaughlin. “She is one of the
best players in 2A at doing that. The
Cardinals tied it in the sixth, with
Hallie’s double scoring Jana to get the
win for us in our half of that inning.”
The ladies traveled to West Fork
on Thursday and took a tight 2-0
win over the home Warhawks. Boyer
doubled to drive in a run, with an
Eisentrager base hit also scoring the
other run. Figueroa hit the only other
single for the team, but it would be all
they would need. Kruckenberg and
Boyer crossed home for those runs.
Heather earned the win, allowing no
walks and striking out two in going
the distance.
“Samm got us going again early,
reaching base and then scoring on
a sac fly by Bailey,” said the head
coach. “Jarika’s groundout then
scored Bailey. It was a crisp, wellpitched game in every aspect and by
both teams.”
The team wrapped up a busy
week with an 8-6 win at Mason City
over Newman Catholic on Friday. The
Eagles plated two runs each in the
first and third in nings, then busted
loose for a four-run fourth. They held
on to a win from there as the Knights
fought to climb back into it.
Eisentrager smashed the yellow
ball in going 2 for 4, including a double
and a triple, and drove in three runs.
Kruckenberg was 2 for 3 and scored
two runs. Boyer and Jeske added a
base hit each, with Heather bringing
home two runs and Boyer one. Boyer

scored three times herself, with Bell,
Willard and Jeske all crossing the
dish once each. Samm and Bailey
each made a steal, while Bailey and
Heather showed patience in drawing
two walks each. Samm and Jana had
one free pass each.
Heather grabbed the win, going
seven innings and allowing just two
earned on a seven-hitter with no
walks and four K’s.
“Our usual pattern of two runs
in the first again, followed by going
up 8-0 after four,” said McLaughlin.
“Heather was cruising, and we had
a chance to break it open but we let
them back in. She refocused and put
them down in order in the seventh to
preserve the win.”
The team enters regional play
this week at 22-12 overall, having
won four in a row and currently six
of their last eight games.
